The technique of infamy [notoriety gained from a damaging incident] is to invent two lies and to get people arguing heatedly over which one of them is true.

Ayn Rand
The three rules listed below are by no means exhaustive; they are merely the first leads to the understanding of a vast subject.
-
In any conflict between two men (or two groups) who hold the same basic principles, it is the more consistent one who wins.
-
In any collaboration between two men (or two groups) who hold different basic principles, it is the more evil or irrational one who wins.
-
When opposite basic principles are clearly and openly defined, it works to the advantage of the rational side; when they are not clearly defined, but are hidden or evaded, it works to the advantage of the irrational side.

Edward Bernays
(Propaganda, 1928)
Those who manipulate the organized habits and opinions of the masses constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of the country....It remains a fact that in almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons....It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind, who harness old social forces and contrive new ways to bind and guide the world....As civilization has become more complex, and as the need for invisible government has been increasingly demonstrated, the technical means have been invented and developed by which opinion may be regimented.

1st Global Revolution
(Club of Rome, 1991)
It would seem that men and women need a common motivation, namely a common adversary, to organize and act together in the vacuum such as motivation seemed to have ceased to exist or have yet to be found. The need for enemies seems to be a common historical factor... Bring the divided nation together to face an outside enemy, either a real one or else one INVENTED for the purpose... Democracy will be made to seem responsible for the lagging economy, the scarcity and uncertainties. The very concept of democracy could then be brought into question and allow for the seizure of power. In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. The real enemy [of the elites and their minions] then is humanity itself.

David Rockefeller
(Club of Rome, Executive Mgr.)
We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis.

Ayn Rand
Every movement that seeks to enslave a country, every dictatorship or potential dictatorship, needs some minority group as a scapegoat which it can blame for the nation's troubles and use as a justification of its own demand for dictatorial powers. In Soviet Russia, the scapegoat was the bourgeoisie; in Nazi Germany, it was the Jewish people; in America, it is the businessmen.

We always obeyed the law. Isn't that what you do in America? Even if you don't agree with a law personally, you still obey it. Otherwise life would be chaos.

Joseph Goebbels
(NAZI Minister of Propaganda)
If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the state can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie ... The truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the state.

Hermann Goering
(NAZI Luftwaffe Commander)
Why of course the people don't want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship... Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger.

Charles Perkins
In the 1930's, Hitler and the German Nazi's envisioned a world to be dominated and controlled by a Nazi philosophy of pan-Germanism. The German chemists worked out a very ingenious and far-reaching plan of mass-control which was submitted to and adopted by the German General Staff. This plan was to control the population in any given area through mass medication of drinking water supplies. By this method they could control the population in whole areas, reduce population by water medication that would produce sterility in women, and so on. In this scheme of mass-control, sodium fluoride occupied a prominent place. ... Repeated doses of infinitesimal amounts of fluoride will in time reduce an individual's power to resist domination, by slowly poisoning and narcotizing a certain area of the brain, thus making him submissive to the will of those who wish to govern him. [A convenient light lobotomy] The real reason behind water fluoridation is not to benefit children's teeth. If this were the real reason there are many ways in which it could be done that are much easier, cheaper, and far more effective. The real purpose behind water fluoridation is to reduce the resistance of the masses to domination and control and loss of liberty.

Ayn Rand
There are two sides to every issue: one side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil. The man who is wrong still retains some respect for truth, if only by accepting the responsibility of choice. But the man in the middle is the knave who blanks out the truth in order to pretend that no choice or values exist, who is willing to sit out the course of any battle, willing to cash in on the blood of the innocent or to crawl on his belly to the guilty, who dispenses justice by condemning both the robber and the robbed to jail, who solves conflicts by ordering the thinker and the fool to meet each other halfway. In any compromise between food and poison, it is only death that can win. In any compromise between good and evil, it is only evil that can profit. In that transfusion of blood which drains the good to feed the evil, the compromiser is the transmitting rubber tube . . .
When men reduce their virtues to the approximate, then evil acquires the force of an absolute, when loyalty to an unyielding purpose is dropped by the virtuous, it’s picked up by scoundrels—and you get the indecent spectacle of a cringing, bargaining, traitorous good and a self-righteously uncompromising evil.

Pit race against race, religion against religion, prejudice against prejudice. Divide and conquer! We must not let that happen here.

Martin Luther King Jr.
Cowardice asks the question - is it safe? Expediency asks the question - is it politic? Vanity asks the question - is it popular? But conscience asks the question - is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular; but one must take it because it is right.

We are turning into a nation of whimpering slaves to Fear -- fear of war, fear of poverty, fear of random terrorism, fear of getting down-sized or fired because of the plunging economy, fear of getting evicted for bad debts, or suddenly getting locked up in a military detention camp on vague charges of being a Terrorist sympathizer.

[HEGELIAN DIALECTIC]:
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, 1770-1831, theorized that ALL social progression comprised of three stages: a thesis, giving rise to its reaction, an antithesis, which contradicts or negates the thesis, and the tension between the two are resolved by means of a synthesis. This synthesis, or solution, which emerges from contradictions, becomes the next thesis, or the next element of conflict. This gradual, successive movement - ‘progress’ - is described as the ‘Hegelian Dialectic’.
For social idealists, statists, and elitists, their vision of progress (the ends) is so critical that it excuses (justifies) both the harm caused by and the act of contriving a clash of artificial/illusionary opposites, including wars (the means). This ‘Machiavellian’ application of the Hegelian Dialectic has been practiced by the power hungry control freaks since long before Hegel’s conceived this formula and was often called ‘Pressure from above and below’ dring the 20th century and is more often today called ‘Problem-Reaction-Solution’.
The sum of all the ‘Problem-Reaction-Solution’ movements, being steered towards the statists’ goal of absolute power, is often called the ‘tyrannical tiptoe’:
-
Problem: Man’s innate value of his life, property, liberty, and pursuit of happiness is a major obstacle, or problem, to those with tyrannical aspirations.
-
Reaction: Create an emotionally polarizing event that will reasonably assure a popular opinion that ‘too much freedom’ caused the horrendous consequence. (reasonable assurance is provided by hijacking the major mode of thought control - the corporate whore media - to set the agenda, set the parameters of debate).
- Solution: The end result is based on the question, “To what extent should the government be involved?” - Moderately or Significantly? - At all costs, the debate is void of the questions: “Was too much government the cause of said catastrophe, should the government proposed solution be an option competing against pro-liberty options, what is the government’s track record, has government ever solved any problem... ever, etc?”
[PROBLEM-REACTION-SOLUTION]:
The Waco raid, seize and massacre is a perfect illustration of the ‘Problem-Reaction-Solution’ model of ‘Machiavellian’ progression:
Problem: Americans are beginning to live off the government control grid, out of the cities, embracing religious agricultural communes. They feel the incorporation of churches as nonprofit organizations (NPOs) limits free speech because the NPO status can be revoked if a politician or bureaucrat doesn’t agree with a position the incorporated church takes, and any limitition on speech is a clear violation of our 1st Amendment Rights (right to religious choice, right to unpopular speech). They also feel banning and/or restricting gun ownership, especially in urban areas, is a clear violation of their 2nd Amendment Rights (right to self defense, right to protect one’s life, one's property)
Reaction: Have a Federal government agency quarrel with one of these religious compounds. The religion must be fringe, something most Americans couldn’t relate to. The compound must be armed to the teeth.
The selection was the Branch Davidian Seventh Day Adventists (also known as 'The Branch Davidian') at Mount Carmel, a ranch located nine miles east-northeast of Waco, Texas. The United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (BATF) attempted to raid (or as they claim, execute a search warrant, you decide by watching the below video) on February 23, 1993. A shootout and a fifty-one day seize followed.
The corporate media's duty was to reduce the debate to seemingly two extremes:
-
One group (the so-called ‘right’) screams, “This is what happens when folks stray from mainline preachers, they fall prey to these nutbag scammers. We need more government control of the 1st Amendment, none for the second!”
-
The other group (the so-called ‘left’) screams, “Why do civilians need arms? This is bound to happen over and over again if we don’t get rid of the guns? We need more government control of the 2nd Amendment, none for the first!”
Nobody allows the libertarian, independent minded question: “What right does any group have, especially the government, our sworn protectors, to wage war on a group of citizens minding their own business, freely associating with their loved ones, providing for their posterity in the way they see fit?”
Solution: The media effectively portrays ‘right’ and ‘left’ as the only two sides of the issue, when in fact both only offer the same statist agenda to limit constitutional, or unalienable, basic human rights. The compromise/collaboration was of course:
-
To end the fifty-one day government seize of the Mount Carmel ranch, the FBI/BATF launch a gas and tank attack, torching the ranch to dust (yeah, don't mess with the government, ever)
- To demonize fringe groups living on society’s edge as psychotically abnormal in nature (yeah, if you even appear to be against the government, you're a loser).
My policy in ALL things is 'watch with your own eyes and decide for yourself the truth':

Part 2 (of 2)
[MONOPOLY MEN]:
"After a man has far more money than he possibly can spend for pleasures, what is left to excite him? For those with a ruling-class mentality, the answer is power-raw power over other human beings. Money can buy such power only to a point. Beyond that, politics is the sport. And world politics is the ultimate game.
For the purposes of this presentation, we have referred to those in the international power structure as capitalists. But these men are not really capitalists in the classical sense; they are merely rich socialists. They have gained vast wealth, not through honest competition and free enterprise, but by political influence and favoritism, the granting of government protection to eliminate competition, and by gigantic fraud of the money system backed by government force.
Money alone is not what motivates these men. They are striving to create a world super-state with the expectation that, from behind the scenes, they will be the ones who will rule. Not free enterprise capitalism, but big government is the conspiracy's life-force. World government is its ultimate goal.
But what is the best way to sell big government and then world government to a people like ours, historically devoted to an independent republic of limited powers?
The answer is simple. In revolutionary literature the tactic is known as "Pressure from above and below." It is the strategy that Colonel House laid down in his book Philip Dru, Administrator. Deliberately create problems, and then offer only those solutions that result in the expansion of government. Create conditions so frightful at home and abroad that the abandonment of personal liberties and national sovereignty will appear as a reasonable price for are turn to domestic tranquility and world peace.
If those who seek world dominion can stimulate leftist mobs into violent confrontation with local law enforcement, and also provide exhaustive news cover age so that the entire nation can see and tremble, then the peaceful and freedom loving majority can be programmed to accept a vast expansion of government powers and even a national police force offered supposedly to end the violence.
If those who seek world dominion can raise the spectre of an enemy armed to the teeth with superior atomic weapons on the verge of launching a nuclear holocaust, and also offer world government as a prevention, then millions of Americans can be programmed to accept the loss of national sovereignty as "our last best hope for peace."
This is the meaning of "pressure from above and below." To put over police state measures at home, they need chaos, crime and anarchy in the streets. To sell, the idea of world government, they need the constant threat of nuclear war. Or, as they say in revolutionary circles, the real action is in the reaction.
In 1968, Random House, Inc. published a book by James Kunen: The Strawberry Statement; Notes of a College Revolutionary. Kunen carries the usual New Left credentials and is a classic example of the extent to which a highly intelligent mind can be programmed by the Establishment into thinking that it is acting against the Establishment.
Kunen was one of the leading participants in the first student seizure of an American university which occurred at Colombia in April of 1968. Initially the movement was not large and easily could have been stopped by a simple police action. But, as usual, the anti-Establishment forces received their greatest help from the Establishment itself. For several days the police were told not to interfere. Meanwhile, university officials groveled in the face of outrageous propaganda charges, and the media made national heroes of the rebelling students. MGM even made a movie out of Kunen's book.
On page 130 Kunen wrote:
In the evening I went up to the U. to check out a strategy meeting. A kid was giving a report on the SDS convention. He said that ... at the convention men from Business International Round Tables, the meeting sponsored by Business International for their client groups and heads of government, tried to buy up a few radicals.
These men are the world's leading industrialists and they convene to decide how our lives are going to go. These are the guys who wrote the Alliance for Progress. They are the left wing of the ruling class.
They offered to finance our demonstrations in Chicago. We were also offered ESSO (Rockefeller) money. They want us to make a lot of radical commotion so they can look more in the center as they move to the left.
Jerry Kirk, while a student at the University of Chicago, on behalf of the FBI became active in the SDS, the DuBois Club. the Black Panthers, and the Communist Party. In 1969, Mr. Kirk broke from the Party and the following year testified before the House and Senate Internal Security Committees. Here is what Mr. Kirk has told us:
Young people have no conception of the conspiracy's strategy of pressure from above and pressure from below so well outlined in Communist Jan Kozak's And Not A Shot Is Fired. They have no idea that they are playing into the hands of the Establishment they claim to hate.
The radicals think they're fighting the forces of the super-rich, like Rockefeller and Ford, and don't realize that it is precisely such forces which are behind their own revolution, financing it, and using it for their own purposes.
When Stokeley Carmichael was head of the militant revolutionary group known as SNCC, he was invited to speak at the University of Chicago. Jerry Kirk, then still a Black Panther, was among those who attended, and here is how he described Carmichael’s appearance:
Mr. Carmichael was obviously in the middle of something rather important which made him more nervous and more tense than in the past.... He started speaking of things which he said he could not have said before because his research was not finished ....
He spoke of the false consciousncss of many blacks who believed the Jews were the instruments of oppression of blacks, and ... he made note of the fact that, even though many Jewish people, for example in New York, owned quite a bit of land, one must understand that the overwhelming percentages of mortgages in Harlem was owned, not by Jewish people, but by Morgan Guarantee Trust (the Morgan family) and Chase Manhattan Bank (the Rockefellers). He repeated the line from the song he liked so well, “Something is happening here, but you don't know quite what it is, do you, Mr. Jones?" ...
He kept hitting on the theme that a very large monopoly capitalist money group, bankers to be exact, was instrumental in fomenting this idea that Jews are the ones actually behind the oppression of blacks. What he was getting at was that ... the Jews were simply one strata of society who are themselves being oppressed by people who were much richer and much more powerful.
In the agencies of this power, he cited banks, the chief among which were Morgan Guarantee Trust and Chase Manhattan. And the foundations connected with these monoliths.
It was not long after this that Stokely Carmichael mysteriously was ousted from both SNCC and the Black Panthers. Apparently he had learned too much.
More and more, young radicals are beginning to wake up to the fact that their entire lives have been carefully programmed by the very people who are their hate symbols. They are beginning to realize that their so-called anti-Establishment outlook actually is the calculated product of the Establishment press, the Establishment communications media, the Establishment entertainment industry, the Establishment schools.
By relaxing the barriers against crime, drugs, pornography, and promiscuity-all in the name of constitutional liberties-the Insiders know that the predictable product will be widespread anarchy, degeneracy, and lack of self-discipline. That will provide them with a visible and compelling excuse for the application of external discipline through their favorite instrument, the police state.
Rich men's corporations publish and popularize revolutionary books and songs. Through advertising, rich men's businesses subsidize revolutionary magazines.
Rich men's tax-exempt foundations pour millions of dollars into left wing organizations. The Federal Establishment in Washington, through agencies like the OEO, provides weekly paychecks to thousands of hard-core revolutionaries. Examples of this can be found everyday. The following typical item appeared in the Detroit Sunday News, May 23, 1971:
While refusing to divulge names, IRS sources say that the Serviceman's Fund [which finances revolutionary activities among servicemen] has been largely bankrolled by well-to-do civilians. One example of this kind of support which did surface identifiably last year was the $8,500 nut channeled from the Philip Stern Family Foundation to underwrite Seaman Roger Priest's underground paper OM, which ran do-it-yourself advice for desertion to Canada and advocated the assassination of President Nixon....
Entertainment Industry for Peace and Justice," the anti-war show-biz front organized by Jane Fonda, Dick Gregory and Dalton Trumbo, now claims over 800 film, TV, and music names.
And so we return again to the basic question, why? Why does the Establishment publically condemn but privately support the anti-Establishment movememt?
Former Communist Jerry Kirk answers:
The idea is to create a situation where the people are so frightened of the violence all around them that they ... will throw their hands up in the air and demand, "Federal Government-do something!" And the only choice open will be martial law.
The Communists, black militants, and revolutionaries will never succeed in overthrowing the government of the United States. But, unless they are stopped, they will scare the American people into accepting socialism from Washington and Statist rule by the Insiders of the Establishment. This is what it is really all about."
