		<description>kathy,
unfortunately, we can&#039;t get to kids to educate them; education/enlightenment wld be in time to come a powerful force for change.
we cannot educate kids and adults because our oppressors own ?all  means of  [mis] education.  it seems to me kids are educated to become prolific [ab]users and efficient producers and near-totally to become  deluded serfs when it comes to their responsibility/duty to treat other people with due respect and to get involved in her/his counntry&#039;s business.

sad but true. in short, truth about US is odder than an udder; as anyone can testify who for the first time milked a rich cow.
in many euro lands, there is also working person&#039;s party but not in US.
funni uncle tolerates only one party; since he knows how valuable oneparty system is to him.
so the answer is to establish a second party or vote for nader.  or, otherwise? &#039;eternal&#039; subservience to the uncle?!  tnx</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve skimmed the articles.  I think our economy is a mess.  It seems like everything that is being done is wrong.  I feel like our leaders are throwing &quot;fake&quot; money after bad.  We aren&#039;t fixing anything. We are digging a bigger hole.  I think its time we do something radical.  It is time.  In my soul I feel the coming of a change, a revolution.  I think we need to organize a middle class revolution.  I don&#039;t want guns and fighting.  I think we need to organize and unite and do something.  Its time for a change.  If anyone feels like me,  lets do something.  Now.  If anyone out there feels the time is right lets do something.  I am ready! I just don&#039;t know how to start.</description>

		<description>Only one quibble. Southern Australia has been in drought since 1996-it only intensified in 2004. The recent mega-fires were the third here since 2000, but as they hit populated areas, the death-toll was greater, by far.  The jig is up, while Rightwing psychopaths still deny everything. However, as they see ecological collapse as a mechanism to eliminate 90% of the planet&#039;s population, the &#039;useless eaters&#039; of the poor world they fear and despise, they have a vested interest. In Australia the Right, with  innate viciousness, denied the role of climate and weather in the fire disaster ie the twelve year drought, the driest start to a year in local recorded history, and record low humidity (5%) allied to three days over 43 degrees Celsius followed by the day of the firestorm, when it reached 46 degrees in Melbourne and up to 49 elsewhere, accompanied by gale force winds. Fire temperatures reached 1200 degrees. But the Right denied that this, or climate change had any role. No it was all the fault of environmentalists, who had prevented &#039;hazard reduction&#039; burns of forest litter. This was soon exposed as a total lie, but the Rightwing hate campaign against environmentalists reached the level of calls for their lynching, along with arsonists, by a notorious Rightwing commentator, Miranda Devine, in the mainstream Sydney Morning Herald, which saw fit to publish calls for lynch-law. The descent into chaos and horror has begun. The Right will act in the only way it knows how to-with viciousness, hatred and violence. I doubt greatly whether we are going to come out on the other side of this evil age.</description>

		<description>DON&#039;T RIOT, IT&#039;S JUST WHAT THEY WANT !!

By David Icke
3-9-9

http://www.rense.com/general85/riot.htm

As I travel around America it is clear that this country is on the brink of  an economic catastrophe the like of which it has never seen. And, of course, it is not alone. A similar story can be told around the world. 
  
The foreclosure figures are fantastic as families and others lose their  homes through no fault of their own on a scale that, according to current  projections, is destined to become a tidal wave. 
  
The credit explosion was orchestrated through Illuminati agents and  Satanists like Alan Greenspan, who represents the interests of the  Illuminati&#039;s Bilderberg Group, Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral  Commission and other far more exclusive and sinister secret societies. 
  
Greenspan was the long-time head of the privately-owned &#039;US central bank&#039;,  the Federal Reserve. Once his policies had manipulated as much personal and  commercial debt as possible the plug was pulled on the system to trigger  what is designed to be global economic meltdown. 
  
Greenspan, who led &#039;the Fed&#039; under Reagan, Father Bush, Clinton and Boy  Bush, operates at a deeper level within the Illuminati network than most of  their public figures, and I was told by a former Satanist, an unofficial  offspring of the Rothschild family, how he remembered Greenspan at sacrifice  rituals he attended: 
  
&#039;I can recall the Rockefellers and the Bushes attending rituals, but never  having the supremacy to lead them. I still regard them as lackeys and not  real brokers of occult power. Except for Alan Greenspan, most of these  fellows were camp followers in the occult, primarily for the economic power  and prestige. Greenspan, I recall, was a person of tremendous spiritual,  occult power and could make the Bushes and the younger Rockefellers cower  with just a glance.&#039; 
  
This, then, is the man who was controlling the United States economy from  1987 to 2006 and who, as planned, oversaw the insane economic policies that  led to the current global collapse. Go to another level of understanding and  you can see that Greenspan and other Illuminati place-men throughout the  world knew exactly what they were doing and what the outcome was planned to  be. 
  
Zionist Greenspan got out just before the true scale and consequences of his  manipulation came to light. It has been left to others, including his  Zionist successor at the &#039;Fed&#039;, Ben Shalom Bernanke, to offer the &#039;solutions&#039;  to the problems that Greenspan and his like created. All of these &#039;solution&#039;  people are controlled by the same force that was, and is, behind Greenspan.  This is why Obama has named blatant insiders to his &#039;economic team&#039; who were  fundamentally culpable in the very collapse they have been appointed to  &#039;address&#039;. 
  
The Zionists Tim Geithner, Larry Summers, Paul Volcker, etc., who are all  stalwarts of the same Bilderberg Group-Council on Foreign  Relations-Trilateral Commission network as Greenspan, have no intention of  finding a &#039;solution&#039; that will benefit the people of America or anywhere  else. 
  
Neither does Obama&#039;s Budget Director, the Zionist Peter R. Orszag. It was  Orszag who advised the Russian finance ministry at the time when Zionist  oligarchs were raping the Russian economy and stealing its resources and he  was a financial advisor to the Icelandic central bank just before the  Iceland banking system crashed. Great &#039;choice&#039;, Barack. 
  
During the Clinton administration, Orszag worked with Obama&#039;s White House  Chief of Staff, the ultra-Zionist Rahm Emanuel, on imposing the NAFTA &#039;free  trade&#039; agreement that has cost incredible numbers of American jobs - exactly  as planned. Emanuel served in the Israeli army and is the son of a terrorist  with the notorious Irgun, one the terror groups which bombed Israel into  existence after World War Two. It was Emanuel who said after Obama&#039;s  election: &#039;You never let a serious crisis go to waste&#039;. 
  
Emanuel, a cold and vicious piece of work, is directly controlling Obama and  the White House in league with senior White House advisor, the Zionist David  Axelrod, who ran the puppet &#039;president&#039;s&#039; election campaign and oversees the  writing of the speeches that he reads from the teleprompter screens. Emanuel: Obama&#039;s puppeteer Axelrod: Obama&#039;s voice on the teleprompter screens 
  
At least most of &#039;Obama&#039;s&#039; economic place-men are fundamentally connected to  the Zionist Robert E. Rubin, the Treasury Secretary under Bill Clinton, who  oversaw financial deregulation that led ultimately to the current crisis.  Rubin recently resigned from Citigroup after encouraging the policies that  led the company to the brink of collapse. In January 2009, Rubin was named  by Marketwatch as one of the &#039;10 most unethical people in business&#039; and his  proteges and close associates are now running the US economy under Obama. 
  
Another massive blow to economic confidence came when the Zionist hedge fund  crook, Bernard Madoff, revealed that he&#039;d &#039;lost&#039; $50 billion of his clients&#039;  money. He says he acted alone. No bloody chance. Other financial disasters  which have collapsed the markets include American International Group  (A.I.G.), the insurance giant headed by the Zionist, Maurice Greenberg. It  has just announced losses of $61.7 billion for the final three months of  2008 - the biggest quarterly loss in corporate history. 
  
Greenberg is extremely close to the Zionist Henry Kissinger, one of the  Illuminati&#039;s most vociferous global manipulators of the last 50 years.  Kissinger was appointed chairman of A.I.G.&#039;s International Advisory Board in  1987. 
  
Zionist Kissinger with Zionist Greenberg. Anyone see a common theme building  here?? 
  
Are all these people just breathtakingly incompetent? No, no, no. Their role  for the cabal is to destroy the economy and America in general by, among  many other things, triggering the financial crisis and then wasting  staggering amounts of borrowed money - trillions of dollars - to ensure that  there is no way back. 
  
A US TV ad apparently said that if you spent a million dollars a day every  day from the alleged birth of &#039;Christ&#039; to today you would still not spend as  much as Obama is spending in borrowed money in his &#039;stimulus&#039; package - let  alone the other fantastic sums on top of that to &#039;bail&#039; the banks. 
  
They have worked super-fast, using fear and the Obama hype as their weapons,  to throw more petrol on the fire in the full knowledge that this will make  matters worse, not better. Bush&#039;s &#039;bail out&#039; of the banks has disappeared  from the radar with nothing to show for it and now Bush Mark 11, Mr Change,  is fronting up the spending of another three trillion. 
  
The biggest recipient of bail-out money has been Maurice Greenberg&#039;s A.I.G,  which has been given $180 billion in borrowed money that the American  taxpayers, and their children, are now responsible for repaying. Rubin&#039;s  Citigroup is in for $50 billion of borrowed &#039;government&#039; money. 
  
The idea is not only to collapse the American economy, but to throw so much  money at the problem (the banks mostly) as quickly as possible so that the  response options of the government are zero by the time the economy really  crashes on the scale that is planned. 
  
The same is being orchestrated around the world, as we see in Britain where  the Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, is also hurling borrowed money at the  banking system only for the situation to go on getting worse. Brown was  Chancellor of the Exchequer, in charge of the country&#039;s finances, right  through the Blair years when he pursued policies that mirrored those of  Greenspan. 
  
Now the man who was a major cause of the banking crisis in the UK is asking  us to believe that he is the &#039;saviour&#039; of the financial system. That&#039;s like  a guy smashing someone around the head with a baseball bat and then claiming  to be a hero for driving the fellah to hospital. But these people have no  shame. 
  
The global economic collapse is designed to trigger a stream of &#039;benefits&#039;  to the Illuminati agenda. One, as I have said from the start, is to use this  as an excuse to impose a global economic dictatorship controlled by a world  central bank. But there are many other &#039;solutions&#039; and connected &#039;benefits&#039;  that are planned to be exploited and we need to be streetwise to them. 
  
The one I want to emphasise here is the need to stay calm and react  peacefully to what is happening. This is not easy when there is so much  stress and fear around with regard to the economic present and &#039;future&#039;, but  we need to do it all the same or we will walk straight into a massive trap  that has been set for us. 
  
Let&#039;s get this straight: They want you to riot in response to the unfolding  economic catastrophe and we are already seeing people falling for this. 
  
Riots in France over economic conditions 
  
Why would the authorities want people to riot? Readers of my books over the  years will see the answer immediately. They want an excuse to bring in a  fully-fledged Police State all over the world and people who riot in their  desperation (instigated invariably by agent-provocateurs) are just the  excuse they are looking for. 
  
Be very, very aware of anyone who starts rioting, or encourages others to do  so, amid peaceful demonstrations. Who are they and why are they doing this  when it is handing all the aces to the system to impose a Police State? They  are either stupid or agents of that State. 
  
Regular readers of my newsletters will recall the one about the UK traffic  warden who was suddenly given new cards authorising him to do the work of  the police and to enter property without permission. His job was supposed to  be just handing out tickets for illegal parking and so on. His boss would  not discuss why these new cards were being issued, but a police officer  friend explained all to him. 
  
The officer said the government was preparing well ahead of time for a  coming &#039;war&#039;, during which they were expecting mass protests and rioting in  the streets. The police and the military were going to be so focussed on  dealing with this that other uniformed professions, like traffic wardens,  private security guards, CCTV operators and many others, were going to be  brought forward to do the work normally done by the police. 
  
Soon after the traffic warden approached me, the government announced that  his profession was being re-designated &#039;civil enforcement officers&#039;, thus  disconnecting them from their sole role of dealing with traffic. A few  months later the government announced plans for a new group called  &#039;accredited persons&#039; - private security guards, CCTV operators and many  others who would be given authority to do some of the work currently  confined to the police. 
  
The officer told the traffic warden about a &#039;war&#039;, and that is planned for  sure at some point. But the excuse of the war could also have been a  cover-story for those people who were needed to work on the preparations,  but were not to know the real reason behind it. That real reason, as we can  now see, could include economic rioting after the financial collapse that  the Shadow People have long known was coming because they were going to  cause it - although, I stress again, a war is also being engineered  involving the &#039;West&#039;, China and Russia. 
  
I have been stressing this point about the plan to stir up civil unrest and  rioting whenever I can and now the insiders are beginning to put that  thought into the public mind. &#039;There could be riots&#039; is designed to  communicate the theme subliminally of &#039;go out and riot&#039;. It is the simple  power of suggestion masquerading as &#039;concern&#039;. 
  
And who should do just that than Zbigniew Brzezinski, the co-founder of the  Illuminati Trilateral Commission and one of the chief mentors and  controllers of Barack Obama. I won&#039;t call him &#039;President&#039; Obama any longer  until he produces a birth certificate to prove he is eligible for the post.  Brzezinski told MSNBC: 
  
&#039;. there&#039;s going to be growing conflict between the classes and if people  are unemployed and really hurting, hell, there could be even riots!&#039; 
  
No, Mr. Brzezinski, you know there are going to be riots because the network  you represent is going to do everything it can to make them happen. More and  more we are seeing this theme appearing from representatives of the State.  The U.S. Army War College has made the same warnings in a document called  Known Unknowns: Unconventional &#039;Strategic Shocks&#039; in Defense Strategy  Development. 
  
It said the military must be prepared for a &#039;violent, strategic dislocation  inside the United States&#039;, in the light of &#039;unforeseen economic collapse&#039;.  Unforeseen?? You must be joking. The document talks of &#039;purposeful domestic  resistance&#039;, &#039;pervasive public health emergencies&#039; or &#039;loss of functioning  political and legal order&#039;. It goes on: 
  
&#039;Widespread civil violence . would force the defense establishment to  reorient priorities in extremis to defend basic domestic order and human  security. An American government and defense establishment lulled into  complacency by a long-secure domestic order would be forced to rapidly  divest some or most external security commitments in order to address  rapidly expanding human insecurity at home. 
  
Under the most extreme circumstances, this might include use of military  force against hostile groups inside the United States.&#039; 
  
As the traffic warden, now &#039;civil enforcement officer&#039;, found out, this is  precisely what they are planning in the UK and the same will be the case in  every country because they are all controlled by a world-wide web  orchestrating a global agenda. The War College document said that the  Department of Defense would be the &#039;enabling hub&#039; for the &#039;continuity of  political authority in a multi-state or nationwide civil conflict or  disturbance&#039;. 
  
Put that through the Orwellian Translation Unit and you get &#039;the military  will control the country&#039;. This has all been planned for a long, long time  as I and others have been warning all these years, and the &#039;hostile groups&#039;  the document talks about will be anyone who is challenging the  political/military dictatorship in any way, even verbally. 
  
In the light of this, you won&#039;t be surprised to know that the US military is  currently seeking to spend another $6 million on &#039;riot equipment&#039;. 
  
Dennis C. Blair, Obama&#039;s Director of National Intelligence and Trilateral  Commission member, has also said that the economic crisis could create civil  unrest in the United States and around the world. He said the crisis was  &#039;regime-threatening&#039; if it continued over one or two years and this  manufactured crisis is designed to be much bigger and longer than that. In  the simple language that he seems to find so hard to summon, Blair says that  there is a greater chance of war during economic turmoil and there&#039;s no  doubt they have just that planned in the wake of what is happening now. 
  
Other establishment figures who have warned of unrest and rioting include  the heads of the World Trade Organisation and the International Monetary  Fund, both Illuminati organisations to their core, and anyone who heads them  will be, by definition, gofers for the cabal. 
  
In the UK, yet again confirming the validity of the traffic warden story,  the head of the police branch dealing in public order has warned of a  possible &#039;Summer of Rage&#039; over rising unemployment and the economic crash.  Superintendent David Hartshorn of London&#039;s Metropolitan Police said that  &#039;known activists&#039; were planning to exploit the situation to mount mass  protests and he pointed to the G20 Summit in London in April as a likely  target, along with banks. 
  
The London Sunday Express has also reported that UK police and &#039;security&#039;  services are preparing to deal with rioting and &#039;the chilling prospect of  soldiers being drafted on to the streets has not been discounted .&#039; 
  
Riots in Greece 
  
Mass protests around the world are no longer simply predictions because they  are already happening and, with the global economy yet to collapse on  anything like the scale it is intended to, we have seen nothing yet. Some  120,000 people demonstrated in Dublin over the handling of the economic  crisis in Ireland, a million protestors have been on the streets in France,  UK oil refinery and power station workers launched a series of strikes in  protest at the use of foreign workers, and the riots across Greece late last  year were partly economic in nature. 
  
Albert Pike 
  
I can encapsulate what is going on here with part of a letter alleged to  have been sent in 1871 by Albert Pike, a Sovereign Grand Commander of the  Scottish Rite of Freemasonry in America, to Giuseppe Mazzini, the Illuminati  &#039;revolutionary&#039; in Italy. In this letter, Pike is said to have detailed the  background to three world wars the Illuminati was planning to bring about  their global dictatorship. The first two happened as he predicted and this  is what he said about the third: 
  
&#039;The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences  caused by the &quot;agentur&quot; of the &quot;Illuminati&quot; between the political Zionists  and the leaders of the Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a  way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of  Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more  divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete  physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion . 
  
. We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a  formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the  nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most  bloody turmoil. 
  
Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the  world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of  civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose  deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction,  anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration,  will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure  doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view. This  manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will  follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and  exterminated at the same time.&#039; 
  
Click here for more background . 
  
Many dismiss the letter as a myth, but in the context I am using it that  doesn&#039;t matter. What it says is what is planned - an economic and social  catastrophe in which the people turn on themselves in their engineered  desperation and all morality is submerged in a mass battle for perceived  survival. 
  
The term &#039;nihilism&#039;, used in the Pike letter, has this dictionary  definition: 
  
* Rejection of all distinctions in moral or religious value and a  willingness to repudiate all previous theories of morality or religious  belief. 
  
* The belief that destruction of existing political or social institutions  is necessary for future improvement. 
  
That pretty much sums it up, really, and this is why they want people to  riot all over the world to destroy the existing order, which, yes, the  Illuminati created, but they now seek to replace that with the next stage of  their tyranny - total global control. This means that national governments  and nation states must be destroyed to allow a world government to assume  its dictatorship. 
  
Look at that definition of &#039;nihilism&#039; again in the light of this: &#039;The  belief that destruction of existing political or social institutions is  necessary for future improvement.&#039; 
  
&#039;Rioter&#039; and police dealing with the &#039;rioter&#039; - all wearing the same  police-issue boots. Just a coincidence, nothing to worry about. 
  
Already waiting in the wings are the agent provocateurs and the useful  idiots primed to start the riots and civil unrest that the idiots believe to  be challenging the existing order. But the existing order was created by the  same network of Illuminati families that are seeking to create the &#039;new  order&#039;, the New World Order, which is planned to emerge from the turmoil and  chaos they are now engineering. 
  
To achieve this, as always, they need our cooperation and let no-one be in  any doubt that those who choose to riot and loot in response to what is  happening, and encourage others to riot and loot, are walking straight into  the trap that has been laid for them. The government and military agent  provocateurs will know that, the useful idiots will not, but it is time they  did. 
  
I have met few more concrete-minded or naive people than those that are  termed the extreme end of the political &#039;Left&#039;. They have been played like a  violin for hundreds of years to change the world in the image of the  Illuminati blueprint in violent revolutions to bring down the established  order. Now they are being gathered again to complete the journey to global  tyranny and provide the violence and chaos that is designed to open the way  to a world government, world army, world central bank, world electronic  currency and a microchipped population connected to the global positioning  satellite system, or GPS, among many other technologies of surveillance and  control. 
  
The riots and looting they want to see, the chaos, will be met with the  installation of a Police State with curfews, jail without trial, the  military on the streets, and the activation of the concentration camps for  &#039;dissidents&#039; that we have long warned about. They are officially called  &#039;military installations&#039;, run by FEMA, the deeply-sinister Federal Emergency  Management Agency, and it is no coincidence, of course, that a bill numbered  H.R. 645 is passing through Washington &#039;to direct the Secretary of Homeland  Security to establish national emergency centers on military installations&#039;.  No, concentration camps, and other countries will have them prepared also. 
  
Look at what that War College document said: &#039;Under the most extreme  circumstances, this might include use of military force against hostile  groups inside the United States.&#039; Might? It&#039;s a certainty because that&#039;s the  plan and all the laws are in place to allow them to do it. They have been  passed by governments around the world as &#039;anti-terror&#039; legislation, but  they use the terms &#039;terror&#039; and &#039;terrorist&#039; in such a non-specific way that  all these laws can be applied to the entire population of the country that  the &#039;laws&#039; were supposed to protect according to their advocates. 
  
It was all a gigantic con, as some of us tired of pointing out. It had  nothing to do with terrorists who are alleged to plant bombs and so on. All  these laws have been put into place with the specific goal of controlling  the mass of the people through a Police State when they triggered an  economic collapse, together with new wars. 
  
Add to all this a stream of presidential executive orders signed by  successive presidents without oversight by either the House of  Representatives or the Senate. These are unconstitutional and make the  president a virtual dictator. Click here to see the powers that the State  can activate, thanks to these orders, when martial law is declared. 
  
This is why Obama&#039;s Zionist Svengali, the White House Chief of Staff Rahm  Emanuel, is seeking to have gun ownership curtailed - to make the military  takeover easier. Meantime, more people are seeking to be armed and requests  for concealed weapon permits in Florida alone are up 42 per cent in 45 days  with the consequences of the economic turmoil in mind. 
  
The military on the streets of Iraq. How long before the same is seen on the  streets of America and elsewhere? 
  
The only way to stop all this is not to react as they want us to, with  violence and hostility to both the State and each other. How many violent  revolutions have led to just another tyranny, official or unofficial, to  replace the one that fell? It has to be so because what is destroyed by  violence will be replaced by the same energy. As I have said in my books,  what you fight, you become. 
  
John Lennon put it perfectly when he sang: 
  
You say you want a revolution Well, you know We all want to change the world You tell me that it&#039;s evolution Well, you know We all want to change the world But when you talk about destruction Don&#039;t you know that you can count me out . 
  
. You say you got a real solution Well, you know We&#039;d all love to see the plan You ask me for a contribution Well, you know We&#039;re doing what we can But when you want money for people with minds that hate All I can tell is brother you have to wait 
  
Revolution (1968) 
  
Martin Luther King also put it brilliantly when he said of rioting: 
  
&#039;The limitation of riots, moral questions aside, is that they cannot win and  their participants know it. Hence, rioting is not revolutionary but  reactionary because it invites defeat. It involves an emotional catharsis,  but it must be followed by a sense of futility.&#039; 
  
Those are the words of a revolutionary who succeeded through peaceful  non-cooperation. Yes, they killed him, but what he created through  non-violence and determination went forth to end segregation. Physical life  does not matter when compared with what is right, for we are all eternal  Conciousness having an illusory experience and the greatest illusion is  death. 
  
I would much rather die &#039;early&#039; doing what I knew to be right than to eek  out a few more illusory years as a slave to a tyranny. 
  
But there is no need even for that to bring an end to this nonsense. There  are billions of people being enslaved and a comparative handful doing the  enslaving. Er, I think I see a way out of this. 
  
We need to come together in mutual support, love, kindness and empathy. We  need to put aside the manufactured fault-lines that divide us - religion,  politics, race, culture and income bracket. That is not to say people have  to reject their beliefs, just don&#039;t let them be weapons of division. 
  
We are all in this together and we need to meet the challenge together, not  steal from each other, loot or riot, or look the other way because something  happening to someone else is &#039;not my problem&#039;. They are not seeking to  enslave Muslims, Jews, black people, or white middle class Americans and so  on. They are seeking to do it to all of us and they are picking off  different groups one by one, just like the Nazis did in Germany. Remember  these famous words because they are so applicable now: 
  
First they came for the Jews and I was not a Jew so I did nothing. Then they came for the communists and I was not a communist so I did  nothing. Then they came for the trade unionists and I was not a trade unionist so I  did nothing. Then they came for me and there was no-one left to speak out for me. 
  
Let us unite behind that which affects everyone - the loss of our most basic  freedoms. And if this is being planned now, what kind of world are our  children and grandchildren going to live in? Can you live with that thought  while doing nothing or rioting as the authorities want? I can&#039;t. 
  
We need to start getting organised in communities and groups to support each  other and stop cooperating with the system - not to fight it. The system can  only exist with our cooperation and acquiesce. We are holding it together.  They have their men and women of violence, called the military and &#039;Swat&#039;  teams, to deal with violent resistance. 
  
But their worst nightmare is our non-cooperation - the refusal to pay taxes;  refusal to leave homes when banks foreclose on them; refusal to &#039;comply&#039;  with our own enslavement in any form. The system couldn&#039;t cope if this was  done on a mass scale. And that&#039;s the point: to do this we need to do it  en-masse and those not immediately affected need to support those who are. 
  
Instead of compliance, we need the non-comply-dance of people who beat to a  different drum and will not comply with what is unfair, unjust, or targets  their freedom and the freedom of others. This approach does not refuse to  comply in a spirit of hostility, rage or violence, but with love, joy and  laughter - and an unbreakable determination not to cooperate with their own  enslavement. 
  
We need a mass refusal join the military, especially if they try to  introduce the Draft; a refusal to do the compulsory &#039;community service&#039; for  young people that Obama&#039;s controllers want to introduce (as does the UK  government); and a refusal to join, or accept the legitimacy of, Obama&#039;s  planned civilian security force, which is nothing more than a scam to get  the people to police the people on behalf of the Elite in the midst of the  economic collapse and war. 
  
We need to start getting together local currency schemes that can operate  outside the system and, yes, people should also have mass protests if they  choose, so long as they are peaceful. But they need to be part of the  campaign of non-violent, non-cooperation, not the focus of it. 
  
How many mass protests have there been over the years around the world and  yet everything just goes on as before, be it war or globalisation. We need  to stop posturing and then heading for the bar to feel good about ourselves  and start doing what will actually make a difference. 
  
Mass protests can ease frustration - steam whistles as I call them - but  what good do most of them do? Mass non-cooperation with the system is far  more effective. 
  
The protests need to be targeted at non-cooperation, refusing to accept laws  that ban assembly by massive numbers turning up; surrounding the homes of  neighbours when the bank bailiffs come to put them on the street; and so  filling the locations of government and finance with masses of people that  the system cannot function. Workers who provide essential services to  government, police and financial institutions etc., can refuse to do so  until Orwellian laws and financial injustice are removed. In this way the  perpetrators are affected, not the mass of the people, as with all-out  strikes. 
  
And all of this needs to be good humoured and strictly peaceful. 
  
I would say this also to those in uniform. You may think you have power, but  you are just pawns in the game like anyone else. You don&#039;t have the power,  your uniform does, because that is an extension of the State. Those inside  are just there to animate the uniform and do the bidding of those it  represents. When you are useful to the cabal they&#039;ll praise you and when you  are surplus to their requirements as part of the bigger agenda they&#039;ll show  you the door. 
  
You have children and grandchildren, too, who will have to live in the world  you are policing into existence by &#039;following orders&#039; and believing the  manipulative nonsense fed to you by governments and cabal &#039;training&#039; fronts  like the UK-based Common Purpose. Wake up from the trance and stop building  a Police State for your own children and grandchildren - and everyone else.  Think about the consequences for those you love of what you are doing - and  stop doing it. 
  
More than anything, we all need to free our minds and become conscious. From  that, everything else will come, including the intuition, inspiration and  knowing that will guide us on how most effectively to deal with what we  face. 
  
If there are many things you would like to do in a room, but the room is  dark and you can&#039;t see, what is the fundamental first step to anything else  happening? You have to turn on the light and then all the rest becomes  possible. Without that you are thrashing around in the dark and falling over  the furniture. 
  
That is what &#039;humans&#039; are doing today and have been for so long. They have  been manipulated to believe they are their bodies and their names when those  are just the experiences of who they truly are - eternal Consciousness. As  the great American comedian, Bill Hicks, said: 
  
&#039;. all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, we are all one  consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There&#039;s no such thing as  death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves.&#039; 
  
The divisions between us are illusory to allow a certain kind of experience,  but these illusions have been exploited mercilessly to divide and rule us. 
  
ENOUGH! 
  
When we awaken to the truth of who we are the world looks very different and  so do the challenges that are put before us - or we put before ourselves.  Move your point of observation and everything changes. Try it. Try ceasing  to identify who you are with your body, your name and the reflection in the  mirror. Try seeing those things as experiences and not who you are. Try  observing your life and the world from the perception of the real you -  eternal Conciousness, All That Is, Has Been and Ever Can Be in our illusion  called &#039;time&#039;. 
  
Eternal Conscious in awareness of itself doesn&#039;t riot; it is not violent and  it doesn&#039;t loot. But nor does it ever do, or accept for itself and others,  what is not fair, just, loving and kind. Crucially, Consciousness is without  fear. When we operate on that level then we can truly claim to be Conscious  and not trapped in the illusion called Mind. As Albert Einstein said: &#039;You  cannot solve problems with the same level of consciousness that created  them.&#039; 
  
John Lennon also made this key point in Revolution about what needs to  happen to really make a difference. We need to free our minds and become  Conscious: 
  
You say you&#039;ll change the constitution Well, you know We all want to change your head You tell me it&#039;s the institution Well, you know You better free you mind instead But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao You ain&#039;t going to make it with anyone anyhow 
  
We are now fast heading for the eye of the storm that has been planned for  so long to enslave the global population in a centralised tyranny. But we  don&#039;t have to accept it or acquiesce to it, meekly looking on as the walls  of control close in by the day. 
  
But that is what is happening and it has to stop. For everyone&#039;s sake, it  has to stop. 
  
We can come together, we MUST come together, putting aside the fault-lines  of race, religion, culture and income bracket. These are just illusory  labels through which we are divided and therefore ruled. Believe in them if  you wish, and enjoy them if they make you happy, but don&#039;t let them divide  us any longer. 
  
We need to come together in mutual support at this time as those with sick  minds and closed hearts are poised to throw everything at us to complete  their agenda for total control. Whether their insanity prevails is not in  their hands, but in ours. It is we who have the power if only we would  choose to use it. 
  
We are One Consciousness deluded into thinking we are &#039;little me&#039;. When we  realise that we are all One - and act upon that with courage, love,  kindness, peace and empathy for all who need support - the walls of  oppression must fall. 
  
But sitting on your arse hoping it will all go away is no longer an option. 
  
It never was. 
  
OUR MARCHING ORDERS. KEEP THE PEACE. PICKET OR MARCH in an ORDERLY MANNER.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>DON&#8217;T RIOT, IT&#8217;S JUST WHAT THEY WANT !!</p>
<p>By David Icke<br />
3-9-9</p>
<p><a href="http://www.rense.com/general85/riot.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.rense.com/general85/riot.htm</a></p>
<p>As I travel around America it is clear that this country is on the brink of  an economic catastrophe the like of which it has never seen. And, of course, it is not alone. A similar story can be told around the world. </p>
<p>The foreclosure figures are fantastic as families and others lose their  homes through no fault of their own on a scale that, according to current  projections, is destined to become a tidal wave. </p>
<p>The credit explosion was orchestrated through Illuminati agents and  Satanists like Alan Greenspan, who represents the interests of the  Illuminati&#8217;s Bilderberg Group, Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral  Commission and other far more exclusive and sinister secret societies. </p>
<p>Greenspan was the long-time head of the privately-owned &#8216;US central bank&#8217;,  the Federal Reserve. Once his policies had manipulated as much personal and  commercial debt as possible the plug was pulled on the system to trigger  what is designed to be global economic meltdown. </p>
<p>Greenspan, who led &#8216;the Fed&#8217; under Reagan, Father Bush, Clinton and Boy  Bush, operates at a deeper level within the Illuminati network than most of  their public figures, and I was told by a former Satanist, an unofficial  offspring of the Rothschild family, how he remembered Greenspan at sacrifice  rituals he attended: </p>
<p>&#8216;I can recall the Rockefellers and the Bushes attending rituals, but never  having the supremacy to lead them. I still regard them as lackeys and not  real brokers of occult power. Except for Alan Greenspan, most of these  fellows were camp followers in the occult, primarily for the economic power  and prestige. Greenspan, I recall, was a person of tremendous spiritual,  occult power and could make the Bushes and the younger Rockefellers cower  with just a glance.&#8217; </p>
<p>This, then, is the man who was controlling the United States economy from  1987 to 2006 and who, as planned, oversaw the insane economic policies that  led to the current global collapse. Go to another level of understanding and  you can see that Greenspan and other Illuminati place-men throughout the  world knew exactly what they were doing and what the outcome was planned to  be. </p>
<p>Zionist Greenspan got out just before the true scale and consequences of his  manipulation came to light. It has been left to others, including his  Zionist successor at the &#8216;Fed&#8217;, Ben Shalom Bernanke, to offer the &#8217;solutions&#8217;  to the problems that Greenspan and his like created. All of these &#8217;solution&#8217;  people are controlled by the same force that was, and is, behind Greenspan.  This is why Obama has named blatant insiders to his &#8216;economic team&#8217; who were  fundamentally culpable in the very collapse they have been appointed to  &#8216;address&#8217;. </p>
<p>The Zionists Tim Geithner, Larry Summers, Paul Volcker, etc., who are all  stalwarts of the same Bilderberg Group-Council on Foreign  Relations-Trilateral Commission network as Greenspan, have no intention of  finding a &#8217;solution&#8217; that will benefit the people of America or anywhere  else. </p>
<p>Neither does Obama&#8217;s Budget Director, the Zionist Peter R. Orszag. It was  Orszag who advised the Russian finance ministry at the time when Zionist  oligarchs were raping the Russian economy and stealing its resources and he  was a financial advisor to the Icelandic central bank just before the  Iceland banking system crashed. Great &#8216;choice&#8217;, Barack. </p>
<p>During the Clinton administration, Orszag worked with Obama&#8217;s White House  Chief of Staff, the ultra-Zionist Rahm Emanuel, on imposing the NAFTA &#8216;free  trade&#8217; agreement that has cost incredible numbers of American jobs &#8211; exactly  as planned. Emanuel served in the Israeli army and is the son of a terrorist  with the notorious Irgun, one the terror groups which bombed Israel into  existence after World War Two. It was Emanuel who said after Obama&#8217;s  election: &#8216;You never let a serious crisis go to waste&#8217;. </p>
<p>Emanuel, a cold and vicious piece of work, is directly controlling Obama and  the White House in league with senior White House advisor, the Zionist David  Axelrod, who ran the puppet &#8216;president&#8217;s&#8217; election campaign and oversees the  writing of the speeches that he reads from the teleprompter screens. Emanuel: Obama&#8217;s puppeteer Axelrod: Obama&#8217;s voice on the teleprompter screens </p>
<p>At least most of &#8216;Obama&#8217;s&#8217; economic place-men are fundamentally connected to  the Zionist Robert E. Rubin, the Treasury Secretary under Bill Clinton, who  oversaw financial deregulation that led ultimately to the current crisis.  Rubin recently resigned from Citigroup after encouraging the policies that  led the company to the brink of collapse. In January 2009, Rubin was named  by Marketwatch as one of the &#8216;10 most unethical people in business&#8217; and his  proteges and close associates are now running the US economy under Obama. </p>
<p>Another massive blow to economic confidence came when the Zionist hedge fund  crook, Bernard Madoff, revealed that he&#8217;d &#8216;lost&#8217; $50 billion of his clients&#8217;  money. He says he acted alone. No bloody chance. Other financial disasters  which have collapsed the markets include American International Group  (A.I.G.), the insurance giant headed by the Zionist, Maurice Greenberg. It  has just announced losses of $61.7 billion for the final three months of  2008 &#8211; the biggest quarterly loss in corporate history. </p>
<p>Greenberg is extremely close to the Zionist Henry Kissinger, one of the  Illuminati&#8217;s most vociferous global manipulators of the last 50 years.  Kissinger was appointed chairman of A.I.G.&#8217;s International Advisory Board in  1987. </p>
<p>Zionist Kissinger with Zionist Greenberg. Anyone see a common theme building  here?? </p>
<p>Are all these people just breathtakingly incompetent? No, no, no. Their role  for the cabal is to destroy the economy and America in general by, among  many other things, triggering the financial crisis and then wasting  staggering amounts of borrowed money &#8211; trillions of dollars &#8211; to ensure that  there is no way back. </p>
<p>A US TV ad apparently said that if you spent a million dollars a day every  day from the alleged birth of &#8216;Christ&#8217; to today you would still not spend as  much as Obama is spending in borrowed money in his &#8217;stimulus&#8217; package &#8211; let  alone the other fantastic sums on top of that to &#8216;bail&#8217; the banks. </p>
<p>They have worked super-fast, using fear and the Obama hype as their weapons,  to throw more petrol on the fire in the full knowledge that this will make  matters worse, not better. Bush&#8217;s &#8216;bail out&#8217; of the banks has disappeared  from the radar with nothing to show for it and now Bush Mark 11, Mr Change,  is fronting up the spending of another three trillion. </p>
<p>The biggest recipient of bail-out money has been Maurice Greenberg&#8217;s A.I.G,  which has been given $180 billion in borrowed money that the American  taxpayers, and their children, are now responsible for repaying. Rubin&#8217;s  Citigroup is in for $50 billion of borrowed &#8216;government&#8217; money. </p>
<p>The idea is not only to collapse the American economy, but to throw so much  money at the problem (the banks mostly) as quickly as possible so that the  response options of the government are zero by the time the economy really  crashes on the scale that is planned. </p>
<p>The same is being orchestrated around the world, as we see in Britain where  the Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, is also hurling borrowed money at the  banking system only for the situation to go on getting worse. Brown was  Chancellor of the Exchequer, in charge of the country&#8217;s finances, right  through the Blair years when he pursued policies that mirrored those of  Greenspan. </p>
<p>Now the man who was a major cause of the banking crisis in the UK is asking  us to believe that he is the &#8217;saviour&#8217; of the financial system. That&#8217;s like  a guy smashing someone around the head with a baseball bat and then claiming  to be a hero for driving the fellah to hospital. But these people have no  shame. </p>
<p>The global economic collapse is designed to trigger a stream of &#8216;benefits&#8217;  to the Illuminati agenda. One, as I have said from the start, is to use this  as an excuse to impose a global economic dictatorship controlled by a world  central bank. But there are many other &#8217;solutions&#8217; and connected &#8216;benefits&#8217;  that are planned to be exploited and we need to be streetwise to them. </p>
<p>The one I want to emphasise here is the need to stay calm and react  peacefully to what is happening. This is not easy when there is so much  stress and fear around with regard to the economic present and &#8216;future&#8217;, but  we need to do it all the same or we will walk straight into a massive trap  that has been set for us. </p>
<p>Let&#8217;s get this straight: They want you to riot in response to the unfolding  economic catastrophe and we are already seeing people falling for this. </p>
<p>Riots in France over economic conditions </p>
<p>Why would the authorities want people to riot? Readers of my books over the  years will see the answer immediately. They want an excuse to bring in a  fully-fledged Police State all over the world and people who riot in their  desperation (instigated invariably by agent-provocateurs) are just the  excuse they are looking for. </p>
<p>Be very, very aware of anyone who starts rioting, or encourages others to do  so, amid peaceful demonstrations. Who are they and why are they doing this  when it is handing all the aces to the system to impose a Police State? They  are either stupid or agents of that State. </p>
<p>Regular readers of my newsletters will recall the one about the UK traffic  warden who was suddenly given new cards authorising him to do the work of  the police and to enter property without permission. His job was supposed to  be just handing out tickets for illegal parking and so on. His boss would  not discuss why these new cards were being issued, but a police officer  friend explained all to him. </p>
<p>The officer said the government was preparing well ahead of time for a  coming &#8216;war&#8217;, during which they were expecting mass protests and rioting in  the streets. The police and the military were going to be so focussed on  dealing with this that other uniformed professions, like traffic wardens,  private security guards, CCTV operators and many others, were going to be  brought forward to do the work normally done by the police. </p>
<p>Soon after the traffic warden approached me, the government announced that  his profession was being re-designated &#8216;civil enforcement officers&#8217;, thus  disconnecting them from their sole role of dealing with traffic. A few  months later the government announced plans for a new group called  &#8216;accredited persons&#8217; &#8211; private security guards, CCTV operators and many  others who would be given authority to do some of the work currently  confined to the police. </p>
<p>The officer told the traffic warden about a &#8216;war&#8217;, and that is planned for  sure at some point. But the excuse of the war could also have been a  cover-story for those people who were needed to work on the preparations,  but were not to know the real reason behind it. That real reason, as we can  now see, could include economic rioting after the financial collapse that  the Shadow People have long known was coming because they were going to  cause it &#8211; although, I stress again, a war is also being engineered  involving the &#8216;West&#8217;, China and Russia. </p>
<p>I have been stressing this point about the plan to stir up civil unrest and  rioting whenever I can and now the insiders are beginning to put that  thought into the public mind. &#8216;There could be riots&#8217; is designed to  communicate the theme subliminally of &#8216;go out and riot&#8217;. It is the simple  power of suggestion masquerading as &#8216;concern&#8217;. </p>
<p>And who should do just that than Zbigniew Brzezinski, the co-founder of the  Illuminati Trilateral Commission and one of the chief mentors and  controllers of Barack Obama. I won&#8217;t call him &#8216;President&#8217; Obama any longer  until he produces a birth certificate to prove he is eligible for the post.  Brzezinski told MSNBC: </p>
<p>&#8216;. there&#8217;s going to be growing conflict between the classes and if people  are unemployed and really hurting, hell, there could be even riots!&#8217; </p>
<p>No, Mr. Brzezinski, you know there are going to be riots because the network  you represent is going to do everything it can to make them happen. More and  more we are seeing this theme appearing from representatives of the State.  The U.S. Army War College has made the same warnings in a document called  Known Unknowns: Unconventional &#8216;Strategic Shocks&#8217; in Defense Strategy  Development. </p>
<p>It said the military must be prepared for a &#8216;violent, strategic dislocation  inside the United States&#8217;, in the light of &#8216;unforeseen economic collapse&#8217;.  Unforeseen?? You must be joking. The document talks of &#8216;purposeful domestic  resistance&#8217;, &#8216;pervasive public health emergencies&#8217; or &#8216;loss of functioning  political and legal order&#8217;. It goes on: </p>
<p>&#8216;Widespread civil violence . would force the defense establishment to  reorient priorities in extremis to defend basic domestic order and human  security. An American government and defense establishment lulled into  complacency by a long-secure domestic order would be forced to rapidly  divest some or most external security commitments in order to address  rapidly expanding human insecurity at home. </p>
<p>Under the most extreme circumstances, this might include use of military  force against hostile groups inside the United States.&#8217; </p>
<p>As the traffic warden, now &#8216;civil enforcement officer&#8217;, found out, this is  precisely what they are planning in the UK and the same will be the case in  every country because they are all controlled by a world-wide web  orchestrating a global agenda. The War College document said that the  Department of Defense would be the &#8216;enabling hub&#8217; for the &#8216;continuity of  political authority in a multi-state or nationwide civil conflict or  disturbance&#8217;. </p>
<p>Put that through the Orwellian Translation Unit and you get &#8216;the military  will control the country&#8217;. This has all been planned for a long, long time  as I and others have been warning all these years, and the &#8216;hostile groups&#8217;  the document talks about will be anyone who is challenging the  political/military dictatorship in any way, even verbally. </p>
<p>In the light of this, you won&#8217;t be surprised to know that the US military is  currently seeking to spend another $6 million on &#8216;riot equipment&#8217;. </p>
<p>Dennis C. Blair, Obama&#8217;s Director of National Intelligence and Trilateral  Commission member, has also said that the economic crisis could create civil  unrest in the United States and around the world. He said the crisis was  &#8216;regime-threatening&#8217; if it continued over one or two years and this  manufactured crisis is designed to be much bigger and longer than that. In  the simple language that he seems to find so hard to summon, Blair says that  there is a greater chance of war during economic turmoil and there&#8217;s no  doubt they have just that planned in the wake of what is happening now. </p>
<p>Other establishment figures who have warned of unrest and rioting include  the heads of the World Trade Organisation and the International Monetary  Fund, both Illuminati organisations to their core, and anyone who heads them  will be, by definition, gofers for the cabal. </p>
<p>In the UK, yet again confirming the validity of the traffic warden story,  the head of the police branch dealing in public order has warned of a  possible &#8216;Summer of Rage&#8217; over rising unemployment and the economic crash.  Superintendent David Hartshorn of London&#8217;s Metropolitan Police said that  &#8216;known activists&#8217; were planning to exploit the situation to mount mass  protests and he pointed to the G20 Summit in London in April as a likely  target, along with banks. </p>
<p>The London Sunday Express has also reported that UK police and &#8217;security&#8217;  services are preparing to deal with rioting and &#8216;the chilling prospect of  soldiers being drafted on to the streets has not been discounted .&#8217; </p>
<p>Riots in Greece </p>
<p>Mass protests around the world are no longer simply predictions because they  are already happening and, with the global economy yet to collapse on  anything like the scale it is intended to, we have seen nothing yet. Some  120,000 people demonstrated in Dublin over the handling of the economic  crisis in Ireland, a million protestors have been on the streets in France,  UK oil refinery and power station workers launched a series of strikes in  protest at the use of foreign workers, and the riots across Greece late last  year were partly economic in nature. </p>
<p>Albert Pike </p>
<p>I can encapsulate what is going on here with part of a letter alleged to  have been sent in 1871 by Albert Pike, a Sovereign Grand Commander of the  Scottish Rite of Freemasonry in America, to Giuseppe Mazzini, the Illuminati  &#8216;revolutionary&#8217; in Italy. In this letter, Pike is said to have detailed the  background to three world wars the Illuminati was planning to bring about  their global dictatorship. The first two happened as he predicted and this  is what he said about the third: </p>
<p>&#8216;The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences  caused by the &#8220;agentur&#8221; of the &#8220;Illuminati&#8221; between the political Zionists  and the leaders of the Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a  way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of  Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more  divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete  physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion . </p>
<p>. We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a  formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the  nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most  bloody turmoil. </p>
<p>Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the  world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of  civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose  deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction,  anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration,  will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure  doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view. This  manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will  follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and  exterminated at the same time.&#8217; </p>
<p>Click here for more background . </p>
<p>Many dismiss the letter as a myth, but in the context I am using it that  doesn&#8217;t matter. What it says is what is planned &#8211; an economic and social  catastrophe in which the people turn on themselves in their engineered  desperation and all morality is submerged in a mass battle for perceived  survival. </p>
<p>The term &#8216;nihilism&#8217;, used in the Pike letter, has this dictionary  definition: </p>
<p>* Rejection of all distinctions in moral or religious value and a  willingness to repudiate all previous theories of morality or religious  belief. </p>
<p>* The belief that destruction of existing political or social institutions  is necessary for future improvement. </p>
<p>That pretty much sums it up, really, and this is why they want people to  riot all over the world to destroy the existing order, which, yes, the  Illuminati created, but they now seek to replace that with the next stage of  their tyranny &#8211; total global control. This means that national governments  and nation states must be destroyed to allow a world government to assume  its dictatorship. </p>
<p>Look at that definition of &#8216;nihilism&#8217; again in the light of this: &#8216;The  belief that destruction of existing political or social institutions is  necessary for future improvement.&#8217; </p>
<p>&#8216;Rioter&#8217; and police dealing with the &#8216;rioter&#8217; &#8211; all wearing the same  police-issue boots. Just a coincidence, nothing to worry about. </p>
<p>Already waiting in the wings are the agent provocateurs and the useful  idiots primed to start the riots and civil unrest that the idiots believe to  be challenging the existing order. But the existing order was created by the  same network of Illuminati families that are seeking to create the &#8216;new  order&#8217;, the New World Order, which is planned to emerge from the turmoil and  chaos they are now engineering. </p>
<p>To achieve this, as always, they need our cooperation and let no-one be in  any doubt that those who choose to riot and loot in response to what is  happening, and encourage others to riot and loot, are walking straight into  the trap that has been laid for them. The government and military agent  provocateurs will know that, the useful idiots will not, but it is time they  did. </p>
<p>I have met few more concrete-minded or naive people than those that are  termed the extreme end of the political &#8216;Left&#8217;. They have been played like a  violin for hundreds of years to change the world in the image of the  Illuminati blueprint in violent revolutions to bring down the established  order. Now they are being gathered again to complete the journey to global  tyranny and provide the violence and chaos that is designed to open the way  to a world government, world army, world central bank, world electronic  currency and a microchipped population connected to the global positioning  satellite system, or GPS, among many other technologies of surveillance and  control. </p>
<p>The riots and looting they want to see, the chaos, will be met with the  installation of a Police State with curfews, jail without trial, the  military on the streets, and the activation of the concentration camps for  &#8216;dissidents&#8217; that we have long warned about. They are officially called  &#8216;military installations&#8217;, run by FEMA, the deeply-sinister Federal Emergency  Management Agency, and it is no coincidence, of course, that a bill numbered  H.R. 645 is passing through Washington &#8216;to direct the Secretary of Homeland  Security to establish national emergency centers on military installations&#8217;.  No, concentration camps, and other countries will have them prepared also. </p>
<p>Look at what that War College document said: &#8216;Under the most extreme  circumstances, this might include use of military force against hostile  groups inside the United States.&#8217; Might? It&#8217;s a certainty because that&#8217;s the  plan and all the laws are in place to allow them to do it. They have been  passed by governments around the world as &#8216;anti-terror&#8217; legislation, but  they use the terms &#8216;terror&#8217; and &#8216;terrorist&#8217; in such a non-specific way that  all these laws can be applied to the entire population of the country that  the &#8216;laws&#8217; were supposed to protect according to their advocates. </p>
<p>It was all a gigantic con, as some of us tired of pointing out. It had  nothing to do with terrorists who are alleged to plant bombs and so on. All  these laws have been put into place with the specific goal of controlling  the mass of the people through a Police State when they triggered an  economic collapse, together with new wars. </p>
<p>Add to all this a stream of presidential executive orders signed by  successive presidents without oversight by either the House of  Representatives or the Senate. These are unconstitutional and make the  president a virtual dictator. Click here to see the powers that the State  can activate, thanks to these orders, when martial law is declared. </p>
<p>This is why Obama&#8217;s Zionist Svengali, the White House Chief of Staff Rahm  Emanuel, is seeking to have gun ownership curtailed &#8211; to make the military  takeover easier. Meantime, more people are seeking to be armed and requests  for concealed weapon permits in Florida alone are up 42 per cent in 45 days  with the consequences of the economic turmoil in mind. </p>
<p>The military on the streets of Iraq. How long before the same is seen on the  streets of America and elsewhere? </p>
<p>The only way to stop all this is not to react as they want us to, with  violence and hostility to both the State and each other. How many violent  revolutions have led to just another tyranny, official or unofficial, to  replace the one that fell? It has to be so because what is destroyed by  violence will be replaced by the same energy. As I have said in my books,  what you fight, you become. </p>
<p>John Lennon put it perfectly when he sang: </p>
<p>You say you want a revolution Well, you know We all want to change the world You tell me that it&#8217;s evolution Well, you know We all want to change the world But when you talk about destruction Don&#8217;t you know that you can count me out . </p>
<p>. You say you got a real solution Well, you know We&#8217;d all love to see the plan You ask me for a contribution Well, you know We&#8217;re doing what we can But when you want money for people with minds that hate All I can tell is brother you have to wait </p>
<p>Revolution (1968) </p>
<p>Martin Luther King also put it brilliantly when he said of rioting: </p>
<p>&#8216;The limitation of riots, moral questions aside, is that they cannot win and  their participants know it. Hence, rioting is not revolutionary but  reactionary because it invites defeat. It involves an emotional catharsis,  but it must be followed by a sense of futility.&#8217; </p>
<p>Those are the words of a revolutionary who succeeded through peaceful  non-cooperation. Yes, they killed him, but what he created through  non-violence and determination went forth to end segregation. Physical life  does not matter when compared with what is right, for we are all eternal  Conciousness having an illusory experience and the greatest illusion is  death. </p>
<p>I would much rather die &#8216;early&#8217; doing what I knew to be right than to eek  out a few more illusory years as a slave to a tyranny. </p>
<p>But there is no need even for that to bring an end to this nonsense. There  are billions of people being enslaved and a comparative handful doing the  enslaving. Er, I think I see a way out of this. </p>
<p>We need to come together in mutual support, love, kindness and empathy. We  need to put aside the manufactured fault-lines that divide us &#8211; religion,  politics, race, culture and income bracket. That is not to say people have  to reject their beliefs, just don&#8217;t let them be weapons of division. </p>
<p>We are all in this together and we need to meet the challenge together, not  steal from each other, loot or riot, or look the other way because something  happening to someone else is &#8216;not my problem&#8217;. They are not seeking to  enslave Muslims, Jews, black people, or white middle class Americans and so  on. They are seeking to do it to all of us and they are picking off  different groups one by one, just like the Nazis did in Germany. Remember  these famous words because they are so applicable now: </p>
<p>First they came for the Jews and I was not a Jew so I did nothing. Then they came for the communists and I was not a communist so I did  nothing. Then they came for the trade unionists and I was not a trade unionist so I  did nothing. Then they came for me and there was no-one left to speak out for me. </p>
<p>Let us unite behind that which affects everyone &#8211; the loss of our most basic  freedoms. And if this is being planned now, what kind of world are our  children and grandchildren going to live in? Can you live with that thought  while doing nothing or rioting as the authorities want? I can&#8217;t. </p>
<p>We need to start getting organised in communities and groups to support each  other and stop cooperating with the system &#8211; not to fight it. The system can  only exist with our cooperation and acquiesce. We are holding it together.  They have their men and women of violence, called the military and &#8216;Swat&#8217;  teams, to deal with violent resistance. </p>
<p>But their worst nightmare is our non-cooperation &#8211; the refusal to pay taxes;  refusal to leave homes when banks foreclose on them; refusal to &#8216;comply&#8217;  with our own enslavement in any form. The system couldn&#8217;t cope if this was  done on a mass scale. And that&#8217;s the point: to do this we need to do it  en-masse and those not immediately affected need to support those who are. </p>
<p>Instead of compliance, we need the non-comply-dance of people who beat to a  different drum and will not comply with what is unfair, unjust, or targets  their freedom and the freedom of others. This approach does not refuse to  comply in a spirit of hostility, rage or violence, but with love, joy and  laughter &#8211; and an unbreakable determination not to cooperate with their own  enslavement. </p>
<p>We need a mass refusal join the military, especially if they try to  introduce the Draft; a refusal to do the compulsory &#8216;community service&#8217; for  young people that Obama&#8217;s controllers want to introduce (as does the UK  government); and a refusal to join, or accept the legitimacy of, Obama&#8217;s  planned civilian security force, which is nothing more than a scam to get  the people to police the people on behalf of the Elite in the midst of the  economic collapse and war. </p>
<p>We need to start getting together local currency schemes that can operate  outside the system and, yes, people should also have mass protests if they  choose, so long as they are peaceful. But they need to be part of the  campaign of non-violent, non-cooperation, not the focus of it. </p>
<p>How many mass protests have there been over the years around the world and  yet everything just goes on as before, be it war or globalisation. We need  to stop posturing and then heading for the bar to feel good about ourselves  and start doing what will actually make a difference. </p>
<p>Mass protests can ease frustration &#8211; steam whistles as I call them &#8211; but  what good do most of them do? Mass non-cooperation with the system is far  more effective. </p>
<p>The protests need to be targeted at non-cooperation, refusing to accept laws  that ban assembly by massive numbers turning up; surrounding the homes of  neighbours when the bank bailiffs come to put them on the street; and so  filling the locations of government and finance with masses of people that  the system cannot function. Workers who provide essential services to  government, police and financial institutions etc., can refuse to do so  until Orwellian laws and financial injustice are removed. In this way the  perpetrators are affected, not the mass of the people, as with all-out  strikes. </p>
<p>And all of this needs to be good humoured and strictly peaceful. </p>
<p>I would say this also to those in uniform. You may think you have power, but  you are just pawns in the game like anyone else. You don&#8217;t have the power,  your uniform does, because that is an extension of the State. Those inside  are just there to animate the uniform and do the bidding of those it  represents. When you are useful to the cabal they&#8217;ll praise you and when you  are surplus to their requirements as part of the bigger agenda they&#8217;ll show  you the door. </p>
<p>You have children and grandchildren, too, who will have to live in the world  you are policing into existence by &#8216;following orders&#8217; and believing the  manipulative nonsense fed to you by governments and cabal &#8216;training&#8217; fronts  like the UK-based Common Purpose. Wake up from the trance and stop building  a Police State for your own children and grandchildren &#8211; and everyone else.  Think about the consequences for those you love of what you are doing &#8211; and  stop doing it. </p>
<p>More than anything, we all need to free our minds and become conscious. From  that, everything else will come, including the intuition, inspiration and  knowing that will guide us on how most effectively to deal with what we  face. </p>
<p>If there are many things you would like to do in a room, but the room is  dark and you can&#8217;t see, what is the fundamental first step to anything else  happening? You have to turn on the light and then all the rest becomes  possible. Without that you are thrashing around in the dark and falling over  the furniture. </p>
<p>That is what &#8216;humans&#8217; are doing today and have been for so long. They have  been manipulated to believe they are their bodies and their names when those  are just the experiences of who they truly are &#8211; eternal Consciousness. As  the great American comedian, Bill Hicks, said: </p>
<p>&#8216;. all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, we are all one  consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There&#8217;s no such thing as  death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves.&#8217; </p>
<p>The divisions between us are illusory to allow a certain kind of experience,  but these illusions have been exploited mercilessly to divide and rule us. </p>
<p>ENOUGH! </p>
<p>When we awaken to the truth of who we are the world looks very different and  so do the challenges that are put before us &#8211; or we put before ourselves.  Move your point of observation and everything changes. Try it. Try ceasing  to identify who you are with your body, your name and the reflection in the  mirror. Try seeing those things as experiences and not who you are. Try  observing your life and the world from the perception of the real you &#8211;  eternal Conciousness, All That Is, Has Been and Ever Can Be in our illusion  called &#8216;time&#8217;. </p>
<p>Eternal Conscious in awareness of itself doesn&#8217;t riot; it is not violent and  it doesn&#8217;t loot. But nor does it ever do, or accept for itself and others,  what is not fair, just, loving and kind. Crucially, Consciousness is without  fear. When we operate on that level then we can truly claim to be Conscious  and not trapped in the illusion called Mind. As Albert Einstein said: &#8216;You  cannot solve problems with the same level of consciousness that created  them.&#8217; </p>
<p>John Lennon also made this key point in Revolution about what needs to  happen to really make a difference. We need to free our minds and become  Conscious: </p>
<p>You say you&#8217;ll change the constitution Well, you know We all want to change your head You tell me it&#8217;s the institution Well, you know You better free you mind instead But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao You ain&#8217;t going to make it with anyone anyhow </p>
<p>We are now fast heading for the eye of the storm that has been planned for  so long to enslave the global population in a centralised tyranny. But we  don&#8217;t have to accept it or acquiesce to it, meekly looking on as the walls  of control close in by the day. </p>
<p>But that is what is happening and it has to stop. For everyone&#8217;s sake, it  has to stop. </p>
<p>We can come together, we MUST come together, putting aside the fault-lines  of race, religion, culture and income bracket. These are just illusory  labels through which we are divided and therefore ruled. Believe in them if  you wish, and enjoy them if they make you happy, but don&#8217;t let them divide  us any longer. </p>
<p>We need to come together in mutual support at this time as those with sick  minds and closed hearts are poised to throw everything at us to complete  their agenda for total control. Whether their insanity prevails is not in  their hands, but in ours. It is we who have the power if only we would  choose to use it. </p>
<p>We are One Consciousness deluded into thinking we are &#8216;little me&#8217;. When we  realise that we are all One &#8211; and act upon that with courage, love,  kindness, peace and empathy for all who need support &#8211; the walls of  oppression must fall. </p>
<p>But sitting on your arse hoping it will all go away is no longer an option. </p>
<p>It never was. </p>
<p>OUR MARCHING ORDERS. KEEP THE PEACE. PICKET OR MARCH in an ORDERLY MANNER.</p>

		<description>Max, hello.

Not quite sure but maybe you may have missed my point. Knowledge advancement requires leaving the comforts of home. The corporate have lulled many into pablum like existence. This has nothing to do with farming as one knows of it, but the farming of the mind. 

Corporate has carefully cultivated exactly the mind set which has allowed &#039;them&#039; to reap what they have sown.  Is this &#039;their&#039; fault. For them, this IS normal. We are our own worst enemies. We allow ourselves to be divided and conquered. 

Integration is a word used in many areas of this civilization.  Maybe the use or &#039;abuse&#039; of this has led to this juncture in time. Maybe that is the question that should be investigated, but then again most have been conditioned to think this is wrong on every level.</description>

		<description>Sent this to CNBC this morning. 

 
     Morning,

I welcome any serious exchange with the administration on the issues that are not beyond my ken: fixing house price depreciation, stopping the destruction of wealth as demonstrated by the stock market&#039;s plunge, and solving the banking crisis before we nationalize every bank.  Jim Cramer

   And Jim is after all the main man at the street dot com and Ed McMann is now doing commercials for cash for gold.  Jim seems to have no problem telling people how the World works and heck maybe when all is said and done he to will be a client of cash for gold.  Stopping the destruction of wealth, hello how about stopping the destruction of human civilization yes that Jim is a big time thinker alright.  The bank&#039;s do need to be nationalized and how about this as part of the solution.

For example, let’s start with a tax large enough to affect purchasing decisions: a carbon tax that
adds $1 to the price of a gallon of gas. That’s a carbon price of about $115 per ton of CO2. That tax rate
yields $670B per year. We return 100% of that money to the public. Each adult legal resident gets one
share, which is $3000 per year, $250 per month deposited in their bank account. Half shares for each
child up to a maximum of two children per family. So a tax rate of $115 per ton yields a dividend of
$9000 per year for a family with two children, $750 per month. The family with carbon footprint less
than average makes money – their dividend exceeds their tax. This tax gives a strong incentive to replace
inefficient infrastructure. It spurs the economy. It spurs innovation.  James Hansen

   Heck let&#039;s put a few names here hay Steve Forbes and Jim Cramer, Rupert Murdoch, all the fat cat&#039;s on wall street and I could just keep witting names for an hour it&#039;s hard to get all those 1% in there.  Anyway gentleman in twenty five words or less keep it simple and truthful what would you say is the REASON nationalizing the banks and what James Hansen has proposed that I find brilliant in it&#039;s simplicity is not your cup of tea or coffee.  Remember keep it simple tell the truth be nice and have a wonderful day and the man from Omaha said yesterday everything will be back to normal in five years I know long term thinking and probably back to a few basics.  Here is a few of those basics reason, imagination, focus, hard work, working together, and the big one you gota have heart.

		<description>CIA Worries: Mexico Becoming a Failed State?

CIA And Pentagon Wonder: Could Mexico Implode?
by Tom Bowman

Morning Edition, February 27, 2009 · Drug-related violence in Mexico is escalating at an alarming rate and threatening the government of President Felipe Calderon.

CIA and U.S. military planners now fear a worst-case scenario — that the country could implode.

The American military is quietly stepping in with more training.

It seems that every night in Mexico there are reports of drug-related violence — murders, kidnappings, armed battles with police, narco-traffickers who outgun even the Mexican army with their rocket-propelled grenades.

“Thousands [have been] murdered this year,” says retired Army Gen. Barry McCaffrey, who served as U.S. drug czar under President Clinton. He visited Mexico recently and painted a desperate picture.

“I mean squad-sized units of police officers and soldiers abducted, tortured to death, decapitated. So the violence is simply shocking and we’ve got to help,” he says.

The violence led the CIA to add Mexico to its list of crises to watch over the next year, alongside longstanding problems like al-Qaida. And U.S. military planners fear Mexico could become a failed state.

So, what would that mean for the United States?

“You have maybe unplanned or unanticipated migration of people” into the U.S. to flee the violence, says Navy Capt. Sean Buck, a strategic planner with the Pentagon’s Joint Forces Command. “You have a humanitarian situation in which we may feel compelled to respond to with other nation states and partners.”

The sort of humanitarian situation that the U.S. finds in places like Africa.

So, the American military, including the National Guard, would find itself providing temporary shelter, and food and water both inside Mexico and for those fleeing into the United States.

Of course, that’s the worst-case scenario being played out by military and intelligence officials. Analysts like Peter DeShazo, a former State Department official with extensive experience in Central America, says to prevent that from happening the United States has to do more to help President Calderon’s stated campaign to “clean up Mexico.”

“It’s a matter of the Mexican government strengthening its capabilities to effectively enforce the law against a very well-armed and very well-financed criminal organization,” he says.

But how?

McCaffrey and others say the Mexican police just aren’t up to the job of fighting the drug cartels.

“Their municipal police, in many cases, are quasi-criminal organizations. Or they’re intimidated or they’re outgunned,” he says.

Calderon has so far mobilized some 25,000 troops to fight the drug cartels.

U.S. Army Special Forces soldiers recently started to train Mexican army commandoes. And the Marine Corps also is working on an exchange program with the Mexican Marine Corps that will include sharing experiences on urban warfare.

That’s all troubling to some, who say Mexico risks more human rights abuses if it uses a powerful force like its military to fight drug gangs. Mexico’s Human Rights Commission says soldiers have committed abuses, including rape.

Louise Arbour, the U.N. high commissioner for human rights, recently told a Mexican television network, “The Mexican army should not be doing the job of police,” calling it “frankly dangerous.”

DeShazo, the former State Department official, says the Americans should focus more on helping the Mexican police.

“Law and order is the work of police under normal circumstances,” he says. “So police reform and strengthening professionalization of the police in Mexico is very important.”

But these are not normal circumstances, say Pentagon officials involved in the Mexican military training. Strengthening the police is needed. But in the short term, says McCaffrey, the Mexican government must rely on its military to take on the drug cartels.</description>

		<description>Jeff, I gathered you are a farmer. Been pretty tough out there amongst the mega-ag and the endless corn and soy? 

All that industrialized fertilizer and force feeding cattle with grain.

You&#039;re right, Americans have been bred on unfood. That&#039;s not a conspiracy. It&#039;s true.</description>

		<description>Party is over? Which party has anyone attended? Has there ever been a party? 

Many years ago this article would have been deemed lunatic fringe, off to the mental house of horrors. A few years ago this article would have been considered conspiracy theory, better left for those sites which &#039;believe&#039; in alien abduction.

Is &#039;humankind&#039; awakening? Think not. As the author alluded to &#039;nanny state&#039;, that is what we have to work with. Infants, infantile minds generated by decades of &#039;corporate&#039; sponsored &#039;public&#039; education &#039;believing the fact that &#039;my infant voice&#039; really means anything.

Turn off the &#039;electrical power&#039;, then the internet is useless. The &#039;internet grid&#039; is still out of the control of those whom require it to do the very thing which this article demands.

&#039;Hope&#039; is something which always comes tomorrow, but when tomorrow arrives all we have is hope. Seems like trying to catch the wind. What is required is education of &#039;absolutes&#039;. What we need is the education of &#039;this is where the bear shits in the woods&#039;. What we need is to stop drinking &#039;mommy&#039; milk and start eating meat and potatoes. What we need is to educate how to acquire the meat and potatoes. 

This will not be accomplished as long as education feeds from the teat.

Have a great day, for it is all you have.</description>

At last SOMEONE who actually understands the problem!!!

It&#039;s not about the monetary system gone bad or the last 30 years, or even Reaganomics or some other omics along the way.

The trajectory has been diabolically OVERSHOOT. It can&#039;t go on. The world will not look as it has to those who have lived on it for the last 60 years (and more). 

We are into a world changing contraction. Not because of capitalism alone (though it is a prime cause) but because there are too many of us consuming too much of limited resources, and too much pollution coming from all this consumption. Of, course the US is the NUMBER ONE enemy of the planet, but it&#039;s all of this aggregate, expotential hypergrowth that has come up against a non-negotiable reality - a reality that&#039;s not simply going to go away if we put the pedal to the metal and spend (Obama).

You are absolutely right Justin; fuck Marx, Corporate capitalism, Obamanoics or Reaganomics, or whatever.

This is about extreme contraction and a complete redo, assuming we get through it...chances are the species will survive but the chickens are coming home BIG TIME to roost. The jig&#039;s up, party&#039;s over...</description>

		<description>Great article! The good news is that lately I’ve noticed more and more ordinary people are getting receptive to these types of thoughts. The majority of people I encounter in daily life have never even heard of Chomsky or anything, but they usually are aware that I’m some sort of radical something or another. Well, lately I’ve been bombarded with newly curious minds! In testing the waters with them I’ve been able to go pretty far with some. There is a waiter at the restaurant I manage that has even been receptive to the whole “I’m having second thoughts about civilization” thing. He’s like, “sounds better than working this fucking job.”

It’s all really happening!

Don I know what you mean about the tent cities. If anyone is ever in DC take the Spout Run exit off of the GW parkway and there is a good chance you will see a couple of shanties in the woods. They come and go, but still…its 10 minutes from the White House! There is also the new development of homeless white people in their 30’s wearing fairly nice cloths begging around the Key Bridge. The word foreclosure comes to mind. Mayhem is on the way.

Part of me is scared shitless, the other part says, “Let’s get this party started!” There seems to be huge opportunities opening up for a whole new mass consciousness. Its like I could say to someone, “Screw it, let it all collapse, I’m going to go live in an old school bus in the woods” and it wouldn’t sound that crazy! To be honest, if I could get my hands on a lifetime supply of guitar strings before the collapse the school bus option is pretty alluring.

Or maybe it will be total mayhem followed by fascist corporate (redundant) technocratic super states surrounded by oceans of slums and shanties. I guess that depends on us.

Have a nice day!</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Great article! The good news is that lately I’ve noticed more and more ordinary people are getting receptive to these types of thoughts. The majority of people I encounter in daily life have never even heard of Chomsky or anything, but they usually are aware that I’m some sort of radical something or another. Well, lately I’ve been bombarded with newly curious minds! In testing the waters with them I’ve been able to go pretty far with some. There is a waiter at the restaurant I manage that has even been receptive to the whole “I’m having second thoughts about civilization” thing. He’s like, “sounds better than working this fucking job.”</p>
<p>It’s all really happening!</p>
<p>Don I know what you mean about the tent cities. If anyone is ever in DC take the Spout Run exit off of the GW parkway and there is a good chance you will see a couple of shanties in the woods. They come and go, but still…its 10 minutes from the White House! There is also the new development of homeless white people in their 30’s wearing fairly nice cloths begging around the Key Bridge. The word foreclosure comes to mind. Mayhem is on the way.</p>
