1. Bilderberg Security Perimeter Extended Record Two Miles
By Peter Papaheraklis
Bilderberg security has always been extreme, but
this year in Vouliagmeni, Greece, Bilderberg
outdid itself. In addition to the annual ritual
of completely surrounding the crime scene with
armed police, plainclothesmen and private
security, Bilderberg extended its uniformed
security perimeter for more than two miles beyond
the gates of the exclusive Nafsika Astir Palace Hotel.
There are three sister hotels on the Nafsika
campus. When Bilderberg met there in 1993,
reporters and the public stayed in either of two
sister resorts and only the Nafsika Astir was
sealed off for Bilderberg. This time, one was
closed for renovation and Bilderberg spent big
bucks to keep the other empty.Thus, Bilderberg
was able to seal off the main entrance to the compound.
Despite having police cars and armed guards
deployed around a two-mile perimeter, newsmen and
patriots burst through to Bilderberg's main gate
to shout questions and scream protests.
Police seized many newsmen, most of them several
times. Police surrounded them with guns drawn,
forced them to give up their film and notes.
Bernie Davids of South Carolina, who accompanied
AFP’s JimTucker and collected information for all
reporters, was among those arrested.
One evening, a stream of buses burst past dodging
guards and 300members of “KKE,” a Greek Communist
Party, jumped out, waving red flags and chanting
“new democracy.” The Communists screamed that
Bilderberg is “criminal” and “murderous.”
The following night, the right-wing LAOS Party,
also called “NEOS,” an acronym for “Youth of the
Orthodox Rally” burst through. They carried flags
saying Bilderberg Unwelcome.” A man with a
bullhorn led chants. They were led by two Greek
Orthodox priests. Reporters seized at least once
included Charlie Skelton of the Guardian of
London [See Personal From the Editor, page
2.—Ed.] Gerhard Wisnewski of Germany, Alexander
Kintas of Athens, Giorgio of Brussels and Richard
Toibin of Dublin, among others.
From early morning to late at night, newsmen and
protesters stormed the hotel gates, despite the
ultraextreme security efforts. Cars were stopped
by police at the PlazaVouliagmeni, wheremost of
the newsmen were staying, more than two miles
from the crime scene. The few drivers who could
produce the right credentials were waved on with
a bow and a smile. Most were turned away with a growl.
2. Nationalists Counter Global Influence of Bilderbergers
By James P. Tucker Jr. As you have and will read,
Bilderberg is hurting but still haunting. They
remain determined to formally establish the
United Nations as a world government, reducing
America to a mere geographical reference on the
map of the “American Union” map.
But the news has been bad for Bilderberg for a
long time. In the early 1990s, Bilderberg was
confident that the American Union, patterned
after the European Union, would be established by the year 2000—nine years ago.
Since the 2009 meeting in Greece, Bilderberg has
endured more bad news. There is a continent-wide
rebellion against the European Union, as
demonstrated by the recent elections to the
European Parliament. The EU Parliament will now
have many members dedicated to its elimination.
Europeans are fighting world government and
illegal immigration harder than Americans because
they are better informed. Most European cities
have many daily newspapers that are pricey—they
rely less on advertising and tend to be
independently owned. That’s why they dare to
publish heavy coverage of Bilderberg’s meetings.
Now, more than ever, nationalist patriots across
the world are opposing Bilderberg.
Throughout Europe, patriots expressed their
hostility to the EU and the fact that its
parliament can dictate laws to member states and
its court is superior to each nation’s highest
court. Voters also objected to EU-imposed
immigration that threatens to change each
nation’s culture from white to black and tan. It
is every American patriot’s duty to inform fellow
citizens about this evil so we can fight back,
too. We encourage you to purchase extra discount
copies of this report to hand out to friends and colleagues.

The True Story of the Bilderberg Group
http://onlinejournal.com/artman/publish/article_4772.shtml
The updated, revised, expanded
North American Union Edition
By Daniel Estulin
It is ironic, as Daniel Estulin points out, that America's fledgling
democracy established the Logan act in 1799 to protect itself from
Americans fostering foreign associations to intrude in our affairs.
Named after Dr. George Logan, a pro Republican and prescient Quaker
from Pennsylvania, it has remained almost unchanged and unfortunately
unused since its passage, though it reads with great relevance in the
shadows of the New World Order's operatives . . .
It states, "Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who,
without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly
commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any
foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to
influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any
officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies
with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United
States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than
three years, or both."
In fact, it is amazing that the Bilderberg Group has met since 1954
with funding from the CIA and is made up of the world's most powerful
people, notably US and world heads of state, made and in the making,
numerous international corporate CEOs from business, banking,
industry, media, as well as world royalty, plus high-ranking members
of the Council on Foreign Relations and the Tri-Lateral Commission.
The Bilderberg goal has been to shape policy that deeply concerns the
United States and its citizens in regards to innumerable foreign
alliances without providing US citizens any awareness of same. And not
once has any US member been indicted for their treasonous breaches in
these actions.
Even though high-ranking members of the press attend Bilderberg annual
meetings, there is little or no press coverage. They are there, as it
were, to get with and push the program, albeit disguised. The
meetings' locales are announced only days before the events, always in
a small town near a big city -- this year's at the five-star Nafsika
Astir Palace Hotel in Vouliagmeni, Greece, May 14-17.
There are no press reports of discussions, agendas or conclusions
released. Yet the matters discussed ranged this year from all facets
of the US economy, including the dollar's future, whether there will
be depression or prolonged stagnation, US unemployment; more
frighteningly, even to the destruction of the United States as we know
it into the North American Union of Canada, the US, and Mexico.
Even though I read and favorably reviewed Estulin's Bilderberg 2007:
Welcome to the Lunatic Fringe, this new edition of the story lends new
urgency to what has been happening in the darkness of the political
night we live in, both north and south of us, including newly made
associations of corporations, plans to usurp US laws to North American
Union imperatives, all part of a scheme to hammer America into the
pieces of this NAU like broken glass into an unrecognizable mosaic of
oppression.
There will also be a push for the enactment of the Lisbon Treaty,
which depends on the Irish voting YES on the treaty in September or
October. One of the Bilderberg concerns is neutralizing the anti-
Lisbon treaty movement, Libertas, led by Declan Ganley. One of the
Bilderberg strategies, for instance, is a whispering campaign in the
US media, suggesting that Ganley is funded by arms dealers in the US
linked to the US military. Right there you have a bird's eye view of
the Bilderbergers in action, with enough evidence to imprison a
weighty handful of them, including some top dogs. And dogs they are,
dogs of overt and covert war.
Most notably, they include the multi-billionaire David Rockefeller and
ex-Secretary of State and war criminal Henry Kissinger. The
Rockefeller family, influence, and fortune constitute the very hub of
the Bilderberg Group. Its various spokes connect to international
finance, economics, media, science, world health, politics, public
works, any phase of life and death you can think of.
Together they form the wheel of the New World Order, rolling towards a
vast collectivist society in which free nation states are subsumed
under the Bilderberg Big Brothers, most notably Rockefeller, with an
expanded UN military force, supported by taxes on oil at the wellhead
to maintain order and security.
It is a strangely utopian notion of a "World Company," an uber
capitalist corporation vs. the nation state, a whole new Brand X of
authoritarian rule. Its model most closely resembles a free-trade
capitalist China with a communist authoritarianism to buttress it, in
which the individual vanishes literally and figuratively; in which the
rich get richer and the poor get poorer, and two classes are de
rigueur, rich and slave-class.
It's no wonder one of the first familiar faces we see on the
introduction's page xxx is Chinese-speaking, India-born Secretary of
the Treasury Timothy Geithner. He is at the 2005 Germany-based
Bilderberg meeting, then as president of New York's Federal Reserve
Bank, connecting as it were with those of common interests. How far
he's come since then and how deep we've sunk in Treasury debt.
You will find this highly secret organization's history exposed with
an encyclopedic level of documentation, including over 100 pages of
participant photos, documents, names, titles, endnotes by Daniel
Estulin, in this The True Story of The Bilderberg Group, updated
revised and expanded in his latest North American Union Edition, 385
pages in all. To date, the editions of this groundbreaking work have
sold over 2.5 million copies worldwide in 48 languages. The reason is
its relevance for citizens of every free nation in the world, now an
endangered species in the wake of Bilderberg connections and
activities.
Estulin's text reads like a mixture of Robert Ludlum, John LeCarre and
Ian Fleming, given the world of intrigue he inhabits at the highest
levels, meeting in the most luxurious, private-army and police guarded
hotels. Estulin delivers secrets from an eyewitness point of view,
having researched the group for the past 17 years and actually pierced
the secret annual meetings well before his first 2007 edition.
One time it nearly cost him his life as he waited for an elevator in a
hi-rise hotel with an information "source." As the door opened, he
stepped forward and was hauled back by the source's iron grip. There
was no floor. The elevator had been jimmied 800 feet down. One more
step and he'd been silenced. Fortunately, Estulin's family emigrated
from Russia to Ottawa, Canada. His grandfather was high-level KGB,
which gives him a genetic leg up in this predator's game.
Estulin's research has been augmented by many persons working in these
hotels who, repulsed by the Bildies, have shared information on their
dubious agendas, attendees, and locales. Then there are past and
present intelligence officials from around the world, who report in as
well, as the Bildies play "good old boys" club. They permit only a few
wives to attend, a few noted media women, and the Queen of the
Netherlands, one of the richest women in the world.
To give you a sense of its scope, the new Bilderberg edition is broken
up into four sections: Part One: the Bildberg Group, including its
foundation, bedfellows, objectives, puppets, a tale of the Watergate
con game, and Bilderberg unmasked.
Part Two: The Council on Foreign Relations, includes Hit or Miss [that
is a near miss of a hit on the author's life in Italy], 1999,
Crossover Partners, Journalistic Courtesans?, Enforced Disarmament,
CFR Cabinet Control, CFR and Psycho-Political Operations, CFR and the
Marshall Plan, Visible Partners.
Part Three: The Trilateral Commission, Back to the Future,
Sophisticated Subversion, Packaging a President, Game of Monopoly,
Bolsheviks' Benefactors, Treason for Profit, Sacrificing a Nation
[America].
The all-New Part Four: The North American Union (NAU), Detention,
2004, Overture, A Coming Union? Behind the Closed Door – In Documents
& Pictures, Endnotes, a PS: actual Bilderberg Meeting Reports – 2005,
2006, 2007, 2008, Author's Afterward, and Index.
Again, as someone who read the earlier edition, I can say that all the
new information is a substantial leap forward in exposing this shadow
government that is working steadily for the US and other nations'
coups and subjugation to its New World Order.
The Bilderberg Meeting Reports give you a candid view of this motley
crew, the self-proclaimed Masters of the Universe. The reports survey
crossover relationships between ex-presidents, chiefs of state from
yesterday and today, from their involvements in pointless wars and
conflicts, all ending in private profit. You walk away with a real
idea of the world elite's plans for today and tomorrow, which are
definitely not wine and roses for you.
In fact, the New World Order can be seen as a giant step backward in
time to a form of feudalism governed with today's technology and power
brokers. It is an order ruled by raw power. The smell of this power
seems to ooze out of the pages of the book and its tales, from Woodrow
Wilson and his alter-ego, Edward M. House, working together to
establish a NWO through the League of Nations . . . back to the
financing of the Bolshevik Revolution by JP Morgan to undermine the
power of the Czar and Russia.
As an alternate title to this review, I thought of "Flipping the
Bilderbergers," for in fact so many household names and faces of 20th
and 21st century politics -- from history, business, media, banking
and finance -- are revealed, involved in various predatory schemes to
deflate or inflate currencies, destroy alliances, but most of all, to
weaken America. And towards that end, is it any surprise that we find
our industrial infrastructure in ruins, General Motors in bankruptcy,
Chrysler about to be sold to Fiat, millions of American high tech jobs
outsourced to India, millions more to near and far-eastern sweatshops,
our economy bankrupted?
Is it any wonder that we find one bubble after another created and
then broken in the stock market until the market itself is broken, a
conspiracy of deregulation, and Greenspan's photo turning up in
various Bilderberg meetings, along with the ubiquitous Kissinger's,
like so many grinning cats who have swallowed the canaries? Is it any
wonder that the Trilateral Commission has broken the world in three
pieces: The Americas, Europe, and Asia, assigning South and Central
Americas as our new sweat shops, Africa as Europe's, and Vietnam,
Thailand, the Philippines as Japan's?
And so, reading this True Story of the Bilderberg Group -- The North
American Union Edition is an act of revelation. One that is necessary
to help us protect ourselves against this final trashing of our
borders as well as Canada's and Mexico's, which would pummel us into
one entity ruled by the money-lust of corporate deal-makers, the same
who have been planning this for years in their poisonous meetings.
Bottom line, the Fix is in. Innumerable deals have been and are being
made between the north and south to weaken America like a brave bull
by picadors, bleeding our strength, until the matadors thrust the
final swords in us. Do not by any means underestimate their power or
be overly afraid of it. When push comes to shove, there are more of us
than them.
In fact, being exposed, opposed, deposed are the worst nightmares of
the Bilderbergers, starting with its pointy-nosed, grinning
zillionaire posing as a philanthropist, Dr. Doom himself, along with
his cronies, from Bill Gates to Goldman Sachs, et al. We have to seek
punishment for these men (and women) who have undermined the strength
of our government and people with foreign alliances profitable only to
them. We have to bring these treasonous persons to stand for their
crimes. We have to use the Logan Act as it has never been used before
and any and all other means to gain justice or face the consequences.
That is Estulin's message, loud and clear. Read it. See it. Believe
it!

2. Kay Griggs exposes figures like Henry Kissinger
Kay Griggs, wife of colonel George Griggs, USMC (retired USMC
Commandant): 29th Commandant of the Marine Corps, found her husband's
diary, which contains details of homosexual blackmail in the top ranks
of the US Marine Corps and names leading politicians and military
leaders. Kay Griggs's information about the US government also comes
from observations and people she met. She exposes initiation rituals,
the raping of young men and blackmail and murders to keep people
quiet. Much of this, according to Griggs, is related to secret society
activity and she names figures like Henry Kissinger and a string of
other top government individuals. This is part 1 of 2 of the full
interview.

3. The Alternative View II Conference - London Heathrow Airport - 29-31May09
1. Obama officials gave secret Bilderberg briefings
Obama officials gave Bilderberg briefings
By KENNETH P. VOGEL - 26May09
A handful of high-ranking Obama administration officials this month delivered
private briefings at the annual invitation-only conference held by an elite
international organization known as the Bilderberg group.
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0509/22957.html
The closed meeting of some of the most powerful business, media and political
leaders in North America and Western Europe heard from top Obama diplomats James
Steinberg and Richard Holbrooke, who detailed the administration’s foreign
policy, while economic adviser Paul Volcker, chairman of President Obama’s
Economic Recovery Advisory Board, also gave a presentation at the heavily
guarded seaside resort in Greece that hosted the event.
The Bilderberg group, which takes its name from the Dutch hotel where it held
its first meeting in 1954, exists solely to bring together between 100 and 150
titans of politics, finance, military, industry, academia and media from North
America and Western Europe once a year to discuss world affairs.
Its ultra-exclusive roster of globally influential figures has captured the
interest of an international network of conspiracists, who for decades have
viewed the Bilderberg conference as a devious corporate-globalist scheme.
This year's closed-press meeting, held at the five-star Astir Palace hotel in
Vouliagmeni on the Aegean Sea about 25 miles south of Athens, marked the 57th
gathering of the opaque organization.
The publicity-shy Bilderberg group â€" which in a rare mass-circulation press
release last year described itself as “a small, flexible, informal and
off-the-record international forum in which different viewpoints can be
expressed and mutual understanding enhanced†â€" has no website and
participants are asked not to publicly discuss the proceedings.
But a meeting attendee tells POLITICO that Holbrooke, a State Department special
envoy, briefed attendees on the Obama administration’s unified approach to
dealing with Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Steinberg, the deputy secretary of state, gave a presentation on the
administration’s broader foreign policy and National Security Agency Director
Lt. Gen. Keith Alexander also participated in the conference.
An assistant to Volcker said she did not know the subject of his presentation at
this year’s meeting. A White House official stressed that Volcker is not a
full-time employee and wasn’t representing Obama in Greece. The White House,
State Department and NSA did not respond to questions about whether Alexander,
Holbrooke and Steinberg â€" all repeat Bilderberger attendees â€" were
representing the Obama administration at the meeting and whether tax dollars
paid for their travel.
Steinberg, it should be noted, was in the region on official business for talks
with officials from Greece, Macedonia and Montenegro, on the eve of Vice
President Joe Biden’s trip to other Balkan states: Bosnia and Herzegovina,
Kosovo and Serbia.
Though Bilderberg tends to attract mostly former U.S. government officials,
it’s not uncommon for sitting officials to attend.
Bilderberg stalwart Henry Kissinger, who’s attended more than half of its
meetings, reportedly went at least twice during his stint as Secretary of State,
while Alexander attended last year’s session as NSA director. In 2004,
then-Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.) attended the Bilderberg conference in Stresa,
Italy, and both TIME magazine and the New York Times reported that his
performance at a debate there played a role in his selection one month later as
the vice presidential running mate for Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John
Kerry of Massachusetts.
But any suggestion that Bilderberg is secretly anointing world leaders or
plotting global policy is the provenance of “the black helicopter crowd,â€
the attendee of this year’s conference told POLITICO.
The meetings are “one of the least well-kept secrets in the world†and
“don’t have any decision-making authority,†said the attendee, who did not
want to be identified breaching Bilderberg’s off-the-record rule. The attendee
called Bilderberg “a useful group of people who are well-connected and
thoughtful who put on these meetings and usually invite a few people from the
[U.S.] administration to come so they understand what the administration is
doing.

3. The Alternative View II Conference - London Heathrow Airport - 29-31May09
The Alternative View II website
http://www.avll.co.uk/
Aim: To advance awareness and facilitate discussion of Political, Scientific and
Spiritual alternatives without constraint by Consensus Reality and/or Received
Wisdom.
The Alternative View is more than a Conference ... it's a Community!
Meet and share your thoughts amongst the increasing number of people who realise
that the world and humanity are in a process of scientific, political &
spiritual transition.
As a three day residential conference, registrations begin at 5.00pm on the
Friday, with the speakers and entertainment beginning at 7.30pm. Alongside our
speakers, throughout the weekend you will have access to our Alternative Market,
as well as a full programme of Workshops, allowing you a choice of activities.
There will also be events and happenings every evening, right up until the early
hours of Monday morning â€" allowing you plenty of time to network and make your
own journey of discovery.
Mankind is at a fork in the road. Ahead, potentially, is an Orwellian nightmare,
or an opportunity to participate in creating a new beginning for our world.
There is a co-ordinated effort by our world leaders (elected and unelected),
with the willing help of a corporate controlled mass media, to use manufactured
global crises to create what they term a ‘New World Order’. You’ve heard
that term in the media, indeed Gordon Brown uses the phrase with alarming
regularity, but what does it mean? Simply this: A global super state, controlled
by a World Government, policed by a World Army, with a single World Currency…
and a single world Religion!
There is, however, an Alternative View. An alternative which will be mapped out
at ‘AVII’, after we have shown our delegates - through well researched
evidence and facts - what is really going on around us.
The Alternative View is not just an event, it’s a Community. Our aim is to
facilitate a community of shared values which supports, nurtures and encourages
an alternative sustainable existence. An existence that does not differentiate
between race or creed but which is founded upon mutual respect, understanding
and support.
If you are visiting this website, you probably already know that something is
not quite right in how events are being portrayed. This conference is
all-encompassing; only by joining us from Friday evening until the early hours
of Monday morning will you see the entire ‘Big Picture’ unfolding in front
of you.
Due to limits in numbers we can cater for, we are initially ONLY making full
weekend tickets available â€" this is to ensure that our ‘Early Bird’
delegates get the opportunity to secure the on-site accommodation for the
weekend. With prices starting from just £35.00 per person per night*, it’s an
offer you simply cannot miss!
*Based on a Bed & Breakfast package for three nights, when you share a Double or
Twin Bed room â€" incredible value for a London hotel!

Sunday Express - May 17,2009
By Helena Smith
ARMED guards are patrolling the grounds of the Athenian Riviera’s luxurious Astir Palace resort this weekend to ensure impenetrable privacy for a coterie of A1 celebrities – but don’t ask who they are.
They make the Vatican look open
They are attending the annual gathering of the powerful Bilderberg illuminati, a club so secret that officially it does not even exist.
The five-star hotel is hosting a roll call of luminaries – royalty, politicians, bankers, plutocrats and backroom power brokers – who will be debating the great global problems of the day and what they might do to solve them.
SECRET SOCIETY: US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner is said to be part of the Bilderberg illuminati
Since its foundation in the Netherlands in 1954 at the Hotel de Bilderberg, the group has guarded its identity so jealously that only a chosen few are summoned and attendance is strictly by invitation only.
One well-placed insider, who dared not give his name, said: “Bilderberg makes the Vatican look positively open. These are hugely influential people, men and women who truly wield power.”
The Athens meeting, its 55th, might have gone unnoticed had it not been for the intense media scrutiny that the organisation has come under with the advent of the internet and technology-driven information transparency.
It is believed that US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, along with Google boss Eric Schmidt, World Bank president Robert Zoellick and members of several European royal houses are in Athens for the forum, originally set up to halt anti-Americanism in Europe and promote joint understanding.

The paper is aged and fragile, the typewritten letters slowly fading. But US Military Intelligence report EW-Pa 128 is as chilling now as the day it was written in November 1944.
The document, also known as the Red House Report, is a detailed account of a secret meeting at the Maison Rouge Hotel in Strasbourg on August 10, 1944. There, Nazi officials ordered an elite group of German industrialists to plan for Germany's post-war recovery, prepare for the Nazis' return to power and work for a 'strong German empire'. In other words: the Fourth Reich.
Plotters: SS chief Heinrich Himmler with Max Faust, engineer with Nazi-backed company I. G. Farben
The three-page, closely typed report, marked 'Secret', copied to British officials and sent by air pouch to Cordell Hull, the US Secretary of State, detailed how the industrialists were to work with the Nazi Party to rebuild Germany's economy by sending money through Switzerland.
They would set up a network of secret front companies abroad. They would wait until conditions were right. And then they would take over Germany again.
The industrialists included representatives of Volkswagen, Krupp and Messerschmitt. Officials from the Navy and Ministry of Armaments were also at the meeting and, with incredible foresight, they decided together that the Fourth German Reich, unlike its predecessor, would be an economic rather than a military empire - but not just German.
The Red House Report, which was unearthed from US intelligence files, was the inspiration for my thriller The Budapest Protocol.
The book opens in 1944 as the Red Army advances on the besieged city, then jumps to the present day, during the election campaign for the first president of Europe. The European Union superstate is revealed as a front for a sinister conspiracy, one rooted in the last days of the Second World War.
But as I researched and wrote the novel, I realised that some of the Red House Report had become fact.
Nazi Germany did export massive amounts of capital through neutral countries. German businesses did set up a network of front companies abroad. The German economy did soon recover after 1945.
The Third Reich was defeated militarily, but powerful Nazi-era bankers, industrialists and civil servants, reborn as democrats, soon prospered in the new West Germany. There they worked for a new cause: European economic and political integration.
Is it possible that the Fourth Reich those Nazi industrialists foresaw has, in some part at least, come to pass?
The Red House Report was written by a French spy who was at the meeting in Strasbourg in 1944 - and it paints an extraordinary picture.
The industrialists gathered at the Maison Rouge Hotel waited expectantly as SS Obergruppenfuhrer Dr Scheid began the meeting. Scheid held one of the highest ranks in the SS, equivalent to Lieutenant General. He cut an imposing figure in his tailored grey-green uniform and high, peaked cap with silver braiding. Guards were posted outside and the room had been searched for microphones.
Death camp: Auschwitz, where tens of thousands of slave labourers died working in a factory run by German firm I. G. Farben
There was a sharp intake of breath as he began to speak. German industry must realise that the war cannot be won, he declared. 'It must take steps in preparation for a post-war commercial campaign.' Such defeatist talk was treasonous - enough to earn a visit to the Gestapo's cellars, followed by a one-way trip to a concentration camp.
But Scheid had been given special licence to speak the truth – the future of the Reich was at stake. He ordered the industrialists to 'make contacts and alliances with foreign firms, but this must be done individually and without attracting any suspicion'.
The industrialists were to borrow substantial sums from foreign countries after the war.
They were especially to exploit the finances of those German firms that had already been used as fronts for economic penetration abroad, said Scheid, citing the American partners of the steel giant Krupp as well as Zeiss, Leica and the Hamburg-America Line shipping company.
But as most of the industrialists left the meeting, a handful were beckoned into another smaller gathering, presided over by Dr Bosse of the Armaments Ministry. There were secrets to be shared with the elite of the elite.
Bosse explained how, even though the Nazi Party had informed the industrialists that the war was lost, resistance against the Allies would continue until a guarantee of German unity could be obtained. He then laid out the secret three-stage strategy for the Fourth Reich.
In stage one, the industrialists were to 'prepare themselves to finance the Nazi Party, which would be forced to go underground as a Maquis', using the term for the French resistance.
Stage two would see the government allocating large sums to German industrialists to establish a 'secure post-war foundation in foreign countries', while 'existing financial reserves must be placed at the disposal of the party so that a strong German empire can be created after the defeat'.
In stage three, German businesses would set up a 'sleeper' network of agents abroad through front companies, which were to be covers for military research and intelligence, until the Nazis returned to power.
'The existence of these is to be known only by very few people in each industry and by chiefs of the Nazi Party,' Bosse announced.
'Each office will have a liaison agent with the party. As soon as the party becomes strong enough to re-establish its control over Germany, the industrialists will be paid for their effort and co-operation by concessions and orders.'
Extraordinary revelations: The 1944 Red House Report, detailing 'plans of German industrialists to engage in underground activity'
The exported funds were to be channelled through two banks in Zurich, or via agencies in Switzerland which bought property in Switzerland for German concerns, for a five per cent commission.
The Nazis had been covertly sending funds through neutral countries for years.
Swiss banks, in particular the Swiss National Bank, accepted gold looted from the treasuries of Nazi-occupied countries. They accepted assets and property titles taken from Jewish businessmen in Germany and occupied countries, and supplied the foreign currency that the Nazis needed to buy vital war materials.
Swiss economic collaboration with the Nazis had been closely monitored by Allied intelligence.
The Red House Report's author notes: 'Previously, exports of capital by German industrialists to neutral countries had to be accomplished rather surreptitiously and by means of special influence.
'Now the Nazi Party stands behind the industrialists and urges them to save themselves by getting funds outside Germany and at the same time advance the party's plans for its post-war operations.'
The order to export foreign capital was technically illegal in Nazi Germany, but by the summer of 1944 the law did not matter.
More than two months after D-Day, the Nazis were being squeezed by the Allies from the west and the Soviets from the east. Hitler had been badly wounded in an assassination attempt. The Nazi leadership was nervous, fractious and quarrelling.
During the war years the SS had built up a gigantic economic empire, based on plunder and murder, and they planned to keep it.
A meeting such as that at the Maison Rouge would need the protection of the SS, according to Dr Adam Tooze of Cambridge University, author of Wages of Destruction: The Making And Breaking Of The Nazi Economy.
He says: 'By 1944 any discussion of post-war planning was banned. It was extremely dangerous to do that in public. But the SS was thinking in the long-term. If you are trying to establish a workable coalition after the war, the only safe place to do it is under the auspices of the apparatus of terror.'
Shrewd SS leaders such as Otto Ohlendorf were already thinking ahead.
As commander of Einsatzgruppe D, which operated on the Eastern Front between 1941 and 1942, Ohlendorf was responsible for the murder of 90,000 men, women and children.
A highly educated, intelligent lawyer and economist, Ohlendorf showed great concern for the psychological welfare of his extermination squad's gunmen: he ordered that several of them should fire simultaneously at their victims, so as to avoid any feelings of personal responsibility.
By the winter of 1943 he was transferred to the Ministry of Economics. Ohlendorf's ostensible job was focusing on export trade, but his real priority was preserving the SS's massive pan-European economic empire after Germany's defeat.
Ohlendorf, who was later hanged at Nuremberg, took particular interest in the work of a German economist called Ludwig Erhard. Erhard had written a lengthy manuscript on the transition to a post-war economy after Germany's defeat. This was dangerous, especially as his name had been mentioned in connection with resistance groups.
But Ohlendorf, who was also chief of the SD, the Nazi domestic security service, protected Erhard as he agreed with his views on stabilising the post-war German economy. Ohlendorf himself was protected by Heinrich Himmler, the chief of the SS.
Ohlendorf and Erhard feared a bout of hyper-inflation, such as the one that had destroyed the German economy in the Twenties. Such a catastrophe would render the SS's economic empire almost worthless.
The two men agreed that the post-war priority was rapid monetary stabilisation through a stable currency unit, but they realised this would have to be enforced by a friendly occupying power, as no post-war German state would have enough legitimacy to introduce a currency that would have any value.
That unit would become the Deutschmark, which was introduced in 1948. It was an astonishing success and it kick-started the German economy. With a stable currency, Germany was once again an attractive trading partner.
The German industrial conglomerates could rapidly rebuild their economic empires across Europe.
War had been extraordinarily profitable for the German economy. By 1948 - despite six years of conflict, Allied bombing and post-war reparations payments - the capital stock of assets such as equipment and buildings was larger than in 1936, thanks mainly to the armaments boom.
Erhard pondered how German industry could expand its reach across the shattered European continent. The answer was through supranationalism - the voluntary surrender of national sovereignty to an international body.
Germany and France were the drivers behind the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC), the precursor to the European Union. The ECSC was the first supranational organisation, established in April 1951 by six European states. It created a common market for coal and steel which it regulated. This set a vital precedent for the steady erosion of national sovereignty, a process that continues today.
But before the common market could be set up, the Nazi industrialists had to be pardoned, and Nazi bankers and officials reintegrated. In 1957, John J. McCloy, the American High Commissioner for Germany, issued an amnesty for industrialists convicted of war crimes.
The two most powerful Nazi industrialists, Alfried Krupp of Krupp Industries and Friedrich Flick, whose Flick Group eventually owned a 40 per cent stake in Daimler-Benz, were released from prison after serving barely three years.
Krupp and Flick had been central figures in the Nazi economy. Their companies used slave labourers like cattle, to be worked to death.
The Krupp company soon became one of Europe's leading industrial combines.
The Flick Group also quickly built up a new pan-European business empire. Friedrich Flick remained unrepentant about his wartime record and refused to pay a single Deutschmark in compensation until his death in July 1972 at the age of 90, when he left a fortune of more than $1billion, the equivalent of £400million at the time.
'For many leading industrial figures close to the Nazi regime, Europe became a cover for pursuing German national interests after the defeat of Hitler,' says historian Dr Michael Pinto-Duschinsky, an adviser to Jewish former slave labourers.
'The continuity of the economy of Germany and the economies of post-war Europe is striking. Some of the leading figures in the Nazi economy became leading builders of the European Union.'
Numerous household names had exploited slave and forced labourers including BMW, Siemens and Volkswagen, which produced munitions and the V1 rocket.
Slave labour was an integral part of the Nazi war machine. Many concentration camps were attached to dedicated factories where company officials worked hand-in-hand with the SS officers overseeing the camps.
Like Krupp and Flick, Hermann Abs, post-war Germany's most powerful banker, had prospered in the Third Reich. Dapper, elegant and diplomatic, Abs joined the board of Deutsche Bank, Germany's biggest bank, in 1937. As the Nazi empire expanded, Deutsche Bank enthusiastically 'Aryanised' Austrian and Czechoslovak banks that were owned by Jews.
By 1942, Abs held 40 directorships, a quarter of which were in countries occupied by the Nazis. Many of these Aryanised companies used slave labour and by 1943 Deutsche Bank's wealth had quadrupled.
Abs also sat on the supervisory board of I.G. Farben, as Deutsche Bank's representative. I.G. Farben was one of Nazi Germany's most powerful companies, formed out of a union of BASF, Bayer, Hoechst and subsidiaries in the Twenties.
It was so deeply entwined with the SS and the Nazis that it ran its own slave labour camp at Auschwitz, known as Auschwitz III, where tens of thousands of Jews and other prisoners died producing artificial rubber.
When they could work no longer, or were verbraucht (used up) in the Nazis' chilling term, they were moved to Birkenau. There they were gassed using Zyklon B, the patent for which was owned by I.G. Farben.
But like all good businessmen, I.G. Farben's bosses hedged their bets.
During the war the company had financed Ludwig Erhard's research. After the war, 24 I.G. Farben executives were indicted for war crimes over Auschwitz III - but only twelve of the 24 were found guilty and sentenced to prison terms ranging from one-and-a-half to eight years. I.G. Farben got away with mass murder.
Abs was one of the most important figures in Germany's post-war reconstruction. It was largely thanks to him that, just as the Red House Report exhorted, a 'strong German empire' was indeed rebuilt, one which formed the basis of today's European Union.
Abs was put in charge of allocating Marshall Aid - reconstruction funds - to German industry. By 1948 he was effectively managing Germany's economic recovery.
Crucially, Abs was also a member of the European League for Economic Co-operation, an elite intellectual pressure group set up in 1946. The league was dedicated to the establishment of a common market, the precursor of the European Union.
Its members included industrialists and financiers and it developed policies that are strikingly familiar today - on monetary integration and common transport, energy and welfare systems.
When Konrad Adenauer, the first Chancellor of West Germany, took power in 1949, Abs was his most important financial adviser.
Behind the scenes Abs was working hard for Deutsche Bank to be allowed to reconstitute itself after decentralisation. In 1957 he succeeded and he returned to his former employer.
That same year the six members of the ECSC signed the Treaty of Rome, which set up the European Economic Community. The treaty further liberalised trade and established increasingly powerful supranational institutions including the European Parliament and European Commission.
Like Abs, Ludwig Erhard flourished in post-war Germany. Adenauer made Erhard Germany's first post-war economics minister. In 1963 Erhard succeeded Adenauer as Chancellor for three years.
But the German economic miracle – so vital to the idea of a new Europe - was built on mass murder. The number of slave and forced labourers who died while employed by German companies in the Nazi era was 2,700,000.
Some sporadic compensation payments were made but German industry agreed a conclusive, global settlement only in 2000, with a £3billion compensation fund. There was no admission of legal liability and the individual compensation was paltry.
A slave labourer would receive 15,000 Deutschmarks (about £5,000), a forced labourer 5,000 (about £1,600). Any claimant accepting the deal had to undertake not to launch any further legal action.
To put this sum of money into perspective, in 2001 Volkswagen alone made profits of £1.8billion.
Next month, 27 European Union member states vote in the biggest transnational election in history. Europe now enjoys peace and stability. Germany is a democracy, once again home to a substantial Jewish community. The Holocaust is seared into national memory.
But the Red House Report is a bridge from a sunny present to a dark past. Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's propaganda chief, once said: 'In 50 years' time nobody will think of nation states.'
For now, the nation state endures. But these three typewritten pages are a reminder that today's drive towards a European federal state is inexorably tangled up with the plans of the SS and German industrialists for a Fourth Reich - an economic rather than military imperium.
• The Budapest Protocol, Adam LeBor's thriller inspired by the Red House Report, is published by Reportage Press.
Many of us have been attempting to yell this from the rooftops for a long time now. The roots of the EU have a clear and definable route to the defeat of the Nazis and, what we are actually seeing now is the log awaited move to re-take control.
The current economic collapse is merely a move to "level the playing field" so to speak, giving a good (but false) reason to enact the European Constitution.
If this odious piece of legislature is ever ratified, the EU will give itself powers that even Hitler would have baulked at. We must make no mistake, the EU IS the continuation of The Third Reich. It's sole aim is to empower itself for its own ends and has nothing to do with the good of any but a few.
If we do not simply remove ourselves from the EU as a political "ally" and revert to purely trading links, then we will have lost WW3 - without many of us even realising it had started. And STILL people will not listen.

A writer who was collecting material for a fictional book based around the premise that top Nazis, seeking to preserve their power at the end of the second world war, conspired to create a Fourth Reich under the auspices of the European Union, actually discovered documents proving the plot to be true.
In a Daily Mail piece, Adam Lebor reveals how he uncovered US Military Intelligence report EW-Pa 128, also known as The Red House Report, which details how top Nazis secretly met at the Maison Rouge Hotel in Strasbourg on August 10, 1944 and, knowing Germany was on the brink of military defeat, conspired to create a Fourth Reich - a pan-European economic empire based around a European common market.
Top Nazi industrialists were ordered by SS Obergruppenfuhrer Dr Scheid to set up front companies abroad and pose as democrats in order to achieve economic penetration and lay the foundations for the re- emergence of the Nazi party.
“The Third Reich was defeated militarily, but powerful Nazi-era bankers, industrialists and civil servants, reborn as democrats, soon prospered in the new West Germany. There they worked for a new cause: European economic and political integration,” writes Lebor.
Wealthy Nazi industrialists like Alfried Krupp of Krupp Industries and Friedrich Flick, as well as front companies like BMW, Siemens and Volkswagen, set about the task of building a new pan-European business empire. According to historian Dr Michael Pinto-Duschinsky, an adviser to Jewish former slave labourers, “For many leading industrial figures close to the Nazi regime, Europe became a cover for pursuing German national interests after the defeat of Hitler….The continuity of the economy of Germany and the economies of post-war Europe is striking. Some of the leading figures in the Nazi economy became leading builders of the European Union.”
Banking titan Hermann Abs, who joined board of Deutsche Bank during the rise of Nazis, also sat on the supervisory board of I.G. Farben, the company that made the Zyklon B gas used to kill concentration camp victims. “Abs was put in charge of allocating Marshall Aid - reconstruction funds - to German industry. By 1948 he was effectively managing Germany’s economic recovery,” writes Lebor.
“Crucially, Abs was also a member of the European League for Economic Co-operation, an elite intellectual pressure group set up in 1946. The league was dedicated to the establishment of a common market, the precursor of the European Union.”
The European League for Economic Co-operation developed policies for European integration that almost mirrored those proposed by Nazis just years previously.
In his book “Europe’s Full Circle,” Rodney Atkinson provides
a list of policies proposed by Nazis and their similarity to today’s
European Union.
“Is it possible that the Fourth Reich those Nazi industrialists foresaw has, in some part at least, come to pass?” asks Lebor.
“These three typewritten pages are a reminder that today’s drive towards a European federal state is inexorably tangled up with the plans of the SS and German industrialists for a Fourth Reich - an economic rather than military imperium.”
As we have highlighted in the past, Nazism and the EU have some very disturbing parallels. Indeed, the two are fundamentally intertwined and the origins of the EU can be traced directly back to the Nazis.
The foundations for the EU and ultimately the Euro single currency were laid by the secretive Bilderberg Group in the mid-1950’s. Bilderberg’s owned leaked documents prove that the agenda to create a European common market and a single currency were formulated by Bilderberg in 1955. One of the group’s principle founders was H. Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, a former Nazi SS officer.
But the ideological framework for the European Union goes back even further, to the 1940’s when top Nazi economists and academics outlined the plan for a single European economic community, an agenda that was duly followed after the end of the second world war.
In his 1940 book The European Community, Nazi Economics Minister and war criminal Walther Funk wrote about the need to create a “Central European Union” and “European Economic Area” and for fixed exchange rates, stating “No nation in Europe can achieve on its own the highest level of economic freedom which is compatible with all social requirements…The formation of very large economic areas follows a natural law of development….interstate agreements in Europe will control [economic forces generally]…There must be a readiness to subordinate one’s own interests in certain cases to those of [the EC].”
Funk’s co-authors echoed his sentiments. Nazi academic Heinrich Hunke wrote, “Classic national economy..is dead…community of fate which is the European economy…fate and extent of European co-operation depends on a new unity economic plan”.
Fellow Nazi Gustav Koenig observed, “We have a real European Community task before us…I am convinced that this Community effort will last beyond the end of the war.”
In 1940, Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels ordered the creation of the “large-scale economic unification of Europe,” believing that “in fifty years’ time [people would] no longer think in terms of countries.” Just 53 years later, the European Union in its current form was established.
Other top Nazis who called for the creation of a pan-European federal economic superstate include Ribbentrop, Quisling and Seyss-Inquart, who spoke of “The new Europe of solidarity and co-operation among all its people… will find…rapidly increasing prosperity once national economic boundaries are removed.”
Such rhetoric would not look out of place at a present day Bilderberg, Trilateral Commission or CFR confab.
The Nazis killed people who spoke out against the Third Reich, whereas the EU has implemented an altogether more efficient solution - simply kill their free speech instead.
A Dutch MP was recently refused entry to Britain because his political opinions were deemed offensive under EU laws. Euro MP’s have consistently attempted to ban the “dangerous and unregulated blogosphere” in an attempt to shut down free speech on the Internet. Under the 1999 ruling of the European Court Of Justice (case 274/99), it is illegal to criticize the EU and the EU is on a mission to outlaw any national political parties that do not pander to the European federal superstate agenda.
Most of the individuals who hold the reigns of power in the European Union are not Nazis, indeed, they probably believe themselves to be fair-minded liberals working for the “greater good”. However, the European Union by its very nature is totalitarian, because it seeks to remove power from national governments accountable to their electorate and centralize it into the hands of supra-national entities that are accountable to nobody but themselves. It also seeks to remove the right of free speech for anyone in a position of influence who criticizes this agenda.
The fact that the EU was a brainchild of top Nazi economists and industrialists, formulated as a means of preserving dictatorial power and then implemented by a former Nazi working under the auspices of the Bilderberg Group in 1955, proves that the entire European Union system is poisoned with a legacy and a raison d’être of totalitarianism.
This is becoming increasingly obvious in the 21st century as popular social movements across Europe rise up to oppose the blatant power grab being undertaken by the EU via the Lisbon Treaty, which will again be put before Irish voters later this year despite them already rejecting it in a national referendum, which prevented the treaty from being enforced.

The reinforcement of the IMF, the World Bank, OECD, etc decided at the G20 is the use of old formula to keep control of the world. But will it succeed?
This is another affair. A lot of Bilderbergers have lost their jobs, the last in date is Rick Wagoner,...they fight to be still in control, but I believe a new class of millionaire will be invited at Bilderberg's meetings in the future, under the auspice of KISSINGER and David Rockefeller.
The G20 conference adopted the credo of no Protectionism admitted, because it should stop their insane dreams....
Several sources indicate this year's Bildebrerg meeting will take place in just over a month's time.

Reports: Bilderberg To Meet in Athens
Greek media outlets state that elite luminaries will convene on luxury resort in mid May
Steve Watson Infowars March 24, 2009
Reports circling in the Greek media have suggested that the location of this year’s secretive Bilderberg meeting will be Athens, Greece.
GR Reporter, a Greek based website that gathers information from different print and electronic media in Greece, reports that the Elefterios Tipos newspaper recently announced the location and date of the meeting as Athens between 14th and 16th of May.
A second report in another Greek newspaper, Tovima, has also suggested that the confab will be held in Athens in the same area that hosted the 1993 conference.
According to the reports, invited guests include the Queen of Netherlands Beatrix, the Spanish Queen Sophia, Lawrence Summers, head of the National Economic Council and James Jones, head of the US National Security Council.
Meanwhile, researchers have also picked up on an article by Andrew Rettman in the EU Observer alleging that the meeting would take place in Europe sometime in June. Rettman has not responded to emails requesting additional information.
If the meeting does take place in Athens, it is likely that the group will use the Nafsika Astir Palace (pictured), the resort that was previously used by the heads of global business, banking and politics.
Situated in Vouliagmeni, a few miles south of Athens, the hotel is built along a cliff side and features a private beach at sea level, with a business center and a large conference room.
It must be stressed however, that such reports may be mere conjecture, or even a disinformation campaign by Bilderberg itself, in an attempt to throw researchers and journalists off their scent.
Bilderberg usually convene at the end of May into early June. The 2005 meeting in Germany was in early May but every other meeting over the last decade has been later in the month of May or in early June.
Similar reports were circulated prior to last year’s conference, also pinpointing the location as Athens. However, the actual location turned out to be the Marriott Hotel in Chantilly, Virginia, a few miles from Washington DC.
Both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were thought to have attended the meeting, which took place at the height of the run in to the national party nominations and the Presidential election.
The hectic scenes outside last year’s Bilderberg conference were documented in filmmaker Alex Jones’ newly released feature The Obama Deception.
In 2006 Alex Jones traveled to Ottawa, Canada after gaining intelligence that the Bilderberg meeting would take place there. Jones and his team were detained by Canadian immigration on orders of the Bilderberg Group for a 15 hour nightmare of interrogation, accusations and threats of arrests in anticipation of the conference.
However, Jones made it to the Brookestreet Hotel in Ottawa, met up with veteran Bilderberg investigator Jim Tucker and Daniel Estulin, author of The True Story of the Bilderberg Group, to capture footage that would later appear in his seminal film Endgame.
It was mainly due to the efforts of the three activists combined that elements of the Canadian media produced a rash of reports about the Ottawa meeting.
Media moguls who attend Bilderberg, such as Washington Post CEO and Chairman Donald E. Graham, swear an oath of secrecy and fulfil a promise each year to omit any coverage of Bilderberg from their news outlets.
At the time Estulin stated that inside sources had informed him that the elite group was seeking to artificially inflate the subprime housing sector over a course of 18 months, in order to lure investors back into the market, before bottoming it out and consolidating the gains (see the video below). Now this has happened exactly as predicted.
2007 saw the elite confab head to Istanbul in Turkey under an increased media lockdown.
Insiders at Istanbul revealed that the Bilderberg agenda for 2007/2008 included a hiking of oil prices towards the $200 mark, something that seemed unbelievable at the time but again consequently happened exactly as predicted.
3. PLUTOCRATS TO MEET IN GREECE

AFP on the trail of Bilderberg group: Site near Athens, Greece, is verified to be scene of 2009 globalist coven
By James P. Tucker, Jr.
Bilderberg will return to its 1993 crime scene when it attempts to meet secretly in Vouliagmeni, Greece, May 14-17. Bilderberg will return to the grounds of Nafsika Astir Palace hotels in Vouliagmeni, 20 miles outside Athens, and meet behind guards at the Westin Nafsika.
High on the Bilderberg agenda will be how to manipulate the global economic crisis for their selfish interests. They will pressure both European and North American nations to pull back from “protectionism” in the later meetings of heads of state. Since the international financiers and high officials of government see themselves as “citizens of the world” and scorn “nationalism,” their only loyalty is bankrolls, not their country. They love free trade, essential for world government.
Thus, they are determined that the United States and other nations refuse to impose tariffs that would equalize competition at the water’s edge. They want to continue shipping U.S. manufacturing jobs overseas where cheap labor may be exploited. They want to continue importing products made by slave labor in China and Africa, underselling domestic products.
Bilderberg, a secret elitist group that meets each spring at posh resorts protected by armed guards, uniformed police, sometimes the host nation’s military plus a brigade of private, plain-clothes guards, tries hard to keep its deliberations secret. But, with help from the European media and with inside sources, their mischief is always revealed to this newspaper.
Bilderberg has a dutiful son in President Barack Obama who will be told to press ahead with the North American Union, which is to be expanded throughout the Western Hemisphere into an “American Union” similar to the European Union. Ultimately, with creation of an “Asian-Pacific Union,” the world is to be divided into three great regions for the administrative convenience of a global government of the UN.
Following orders, Obama has a platoon of Bilderberg luminaries in his administration.
But Bilderberg has had problems for years in trying to impose its will on the globe. When meeting in Greece 19 years ago, it was celebrating President Bill Clinton’s promise to sign the Rio Treaty on global warming, which would have surrendered U.S. wealth and sovereignty to international bureaucrats.
Clinton, who attended Bilderberg in 2001 and was elected president in 2002, did sign the Rio Treaty but a test vote in the Senate showed ratification would be overwhelmingly rejected. It is still pending and Bilderberg boys are depressed.
AFP editor James P. Tucker Jr. is a veteran journalist who spent many years as a member of the “elite” media in Washington. Since 1975 he has won widespread recognition, here and abroad, for his pursuit of on- the-scene stories reporting the intrigues of global power blocs such as the Bilderberg Group. Tucker is the author of Jim Tucker’s Bilderberg Diary: One Man’s 25-Year Battle to Shine the Light on the World Shadow Government. Bound in an attractive full-color softcover and containing 272 pages—loaded with photos, many never published before—the book recounts Tucker’s experiences over the last quarter century at Bilderberg meetings. $25 from AFP.

The financial industry brought the economy to its knees, but how did they get away with it? With the nation wondering how to hold the bankers accountable, Bill Moyers sits down with Bill Black, the former senior regulator who cracked down on banks during the savings and loan crisis of the 1980s. Black offers his analysis of what went wrong and his critique of the bailout. This show aired April 3, 2009. Bill Moyers Journal airs Fridays at 9 p.m. on PBS (check local listings).

Hi all,
Could this action by the Wikipedia crooks be timed to avoid various Bilderbergers being hunted down as organised criminals this year as they kick of a third world war? Let's not forget Wikipedia already airbrush out any reference to Bilderberg's Nazi (SS no less) origins, and the Bilderbergers are technocrats. These psychopathic control freaks look like they intend to rule the world after the coming conflict by pseudo-science and technology.
Do remember though that they invite some people to meetings that they are afraid of and want to influence. Not all attendees are convinced by Bilderberg's glitzy approach to PR (wowing them with Kings, Queens and stuff).

Wikipedia To Delete Bilderberg Attendee List
Sat, 14/02/2009 - 11:10 — smashdracs
http://www.openureyes.org.nz/blog/?q=node/940
(UPDATE, That was quick, the list has gone already! 15/2/09)
The lords of Wikipedia have announced they will delete the Bilderberg attendees list entry on the site because it is allegedly a “totally un-reliably-sourced list [and] possibly defamatory towards living persons.” The announced deletion will occur five days from 2009-02-18 at 14:53.
While the list is still up I am going to copy and paste it in its entirety. It will look pretty messy but I may get around to tidying it up sooner or later.
(smash) PS Is it any surprise Mike Moore (former NZ PM) is a member?
List of Bilderberg attendees is a list of prominent persons who have attended one or more conferences organized by the Bilderberg Group.

The Bilderberg Group or Bilderberg conference is an unofficial annual invitation-only conference of around 130 guests, most of whom are persons of influence in the fields of business, media, and politics.

Tony,
You may find some of the information in my blogs of some interest, especially the "New World Moral Order" map published in Philadelphia in early 1942 and some information accompanying it. Chicago Tribune articles on the Rhodes Scholars from the mid-20th also strikes home for all interested in identifying the globalist organizations undermining liberty.

Politico: Many Of The President's Nominees Are Part Of A Secret Elite International Group Known As Bilderbergers
'It turns out that Sebelius - like top administration economists Timothy Geithner, Larry Summers and Paul Volcker, as well as leading Obama diplomats Richard Holbrooke and Dennis Ross - is a Bilderberger. That is, she is someone who has participated in the annual invitation- only conference held by an elite international organization known as the Bilderberg group. The group, which takes its name from the Dutch hotel where it held its first meeting in 1954, exists solely to bring together between 100 and 150 titans of politics, finance, military, industry, academia and media from North America and Western Europe once a year to discuss world affairs. It doesn't issue policy statements or resolutions, nor does it hold any events other than an annual meeting.'
Conspiracy Theorists Scrutinize Obama Ties Politico: Many Of The President's Nominees Are Part Of A Secret Elite International Group Known As Bilderbergers WASHINGTON March 15, 2009 (The Politico) This story was written by Kenneth P. Vogel. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/03/15/politics/politico/main48665...
The highest levels of the Obama administration are infested with members of a shadowy, elitist cabal intent on installing a one-world government that subverts the will of the American people.
It sounds crazy, but that's what a group of very persistent conspiracy theorists insists, and they point to President Obama's nominee for Health and Human Services Secretary, Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, as the latest piece of evidence supporting their claims.
It turns out that Sebelius - like top administration economists Timothy Geithner, Larry Summers and Paul Volcker, as well as leading Obama diplomats Richard Holbrooke and Dennis Ross - is a Bilderberger. That is, she is someone who has participated in the annual invitation- only conference held by an elite international organization known as the Bilderberg group.
The group, which takes its name from the Dutch hotel where it held its first meeting in 1954, exists solely to bring together between 100 and 150 titans of politics, finance, military, industry, academia and media from North America and Western Europe once a year to discuss world affairs. It doesn't issue policy statements or resolutions, nor does it hold any events other than an annual meeting.
Past participants have included Margaret Thatcher, who attended the 1975 meeting at Turkey's Golden Dolphin Hotel, former media mogul Conrad Black, who has been to more than a dozen conferences, and Bill Clinton, Tony Blair, Condoleezza Rice, Donald Rumsfeld, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, King Juan Carlos of Spain and top officials of BP, IBM, Barclays and the Bank of England.
It is precisely that exclusive roster of globally influential figures that has captured the interest of an international network of conspiracists, who for decades have viewed the Bilderberg conference as a devious corporate-globalist scheme.
The fulminating is aggravated by Obama's preference for surrounding himself with well-credentialed, well-connected, and well-traveled elites. His personnel choices have touched a populist, even paranoid nerve among those who are convinced powerful elites and secret societies are moving the planet toward a new world order.
Their worldview, characterized by a deep and angry suspicion of the ruling class rather than any prevailing partisan or ideological affiliation, is widely articulated on overnight AM radio shows and a collection of Internet websites.
The video sharing website YouTube alone is home to thousands of Bilderberg-related videos.
"I don't laugh at the people who claim that they understand the connections, but I've never really spent much time tracing that through," said Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas), a former presidential candidate whose libertarian sensibilities have made him a darling of the Bilderberg conspiracists.
"The one thing that concerns me is that the people who surround Obama or Bush generally come from the same philosophic viewpoint and they have their organizations - they have the Trilateral Commission, the CFR [Council on Foreign Relations] and the Bilderbergers, and they've been around a long time. And my biggest concern is what they preach: Keynesian economics and interventionism and world planning," he said.
While it's easy to dismiss the Bilder-busters as cranks, these voices have a way of making themselves heard on the margins of the debate in ways that can prove to be a real, if minor, distraction to Obama's political team. Bill Clinton had trouble shaking rumors that he was behind a shady criminal syndicate operating out of the Mena airport. George W. Bush was sometimes portrayed as the puppet of clandestine Middle Eastern oil interests.
Obama's selection of numerous Bilderbergers for key posts "certainly would verify their suspicions," said Paul, referring to fears of the group's influence.
"And I don't think it's just Obama. Whether t's the Republicans or the Democrats - Goldman Sachs generally has somebody in treasury. And the big banks generally have somebody in the Federal Reserve. And they're international people, too. And they're probably working very hard this weekend, with the G20. And they get involved in the IMF. But that is their stated goal. They do believe in a powerful centralized government and we believe in the opposite."
One popular website, "Prison Planet," greeted Sebelius' nomination with the headline "Obama Picks Bilderberger for Health Secretary."
It's obvious why Bilderberg is a frequent target of conspiracy theorists, who've credited it with anointing aspiring presidents, selecting their running mates, creating the European Union and instigating the war in Iraq and the bombing of Serbia, among other coups.
Bilderberg meetings are closed to the press, participants are asked not to publicly discuss the proceedings and the attendee list is only occasionally released. As a result, the group has come to be viewed as a more publicity-shy cousin to the Trilateral Commission and the Council on Foreign Relations - other influential international think tanks that are staples of fringe group conversation.
Unlike Bilderberg, though, those organizations have opened their proceedings to public scrutiny, maintain websites and have long listed their members.
The Bilderberg group, in a rare press release last year, laid out a benign if vague mission: creating "a better understanding of the complex forces and major trends affecting Western nations."
"Bilderberg is a small, flexible, informal and off-the-record international forum in which different viewpoints can be expressed and mutual understanding enhanced," read the press release, which noted that a list of participants would be available by phone request between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM on the second and third days of the conference.
The Bilderberg conspiracists first pounced on the Obama connection during the 2008 campaign, when news leaked in May that the candidate, who at the time was closing in on the Democratic presidential nomination, had initially tapped former Fannie Mae chairman Jim Johnson, a top Bilderberger, to help him select a running mate.
IRS filings show that Johnson as recently as 2006 was the treasurer of a non-profit group called American Friends of Bilderberg. The group has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years to pay for meetings--including $125,000 in total contributions from Bilderberg stalwarts Henry Kissinger and David Rockefeller in 2005 and 2006 plus $25,000 in 2005 from the Washington Post, whose chairman Don Graham has attended in the past.
Johnson did not return a message inquiring about his role at Bilderberg.
"The news further puts to rest any delusions that Bilderberg is a mere talking shop where no decisions are made," reported Prison Planet. "It also ridicules once again any notion that an Obama presidency would bring `change' to the status quo of America being ruled by an unelected corporate and military-industrial complex elite."
One month later, in June, Johnson was joined at the 2008 Bilderberg meeting by Geithner, Holbrooke, Summers and Ross, as well as Obama's first choice for HHS secretary, Tom Daschle, and Sebelius, who at the time was included on some short lists of prospective Obama running mates and who also attended the 2007 meeting in Istanbul, Turkey.
According to the Bilderberg press release, the meeting was designed to "deal mainly with a nuclear free world, cyber terrorism, Africa, Russia, finance, protectionism, US-EU relations, Afghanistan and Pakistan, Islam and Iran." Approximately two-thirds of the 140 expected attendees came from Europe, according to the release, and the rest from North America.
Had the meeting been held outsie the United States, that might have been the end of the Obama angle. But the conference, which took place from June 5 through 8, was held at a heavily guarded hotel in Chantilly, Va. in suburban Washington-coincidentally overlapping with an Obama campaign event in the area.
While Obama's schedule indicated he was to fly home to Chicago for the weekend-and journalists were herded on a campaign plane under the impression they were headed there along with Obama-the future president slipped away for a private meetings and never actually boarded the flight. As it turned out, Obama secretly met that evening with Hillary Rodham Clinton in Washington, D.C., but not before raising alarms among the Bilder-busters, who were convinced something was rotten in Chantilly.
Prison Planet connected the dots and concluded Obama and Clinton met at the Bilderberg meeting, declaring that "the complete failure of the mainstream media to report on the fact, once again betrays the super- secretive nature and influential reputation that the 54-year-old organization still maintains."
"It is now seems increasingly likely that the secret meetings with Bilderberg this weekend will herald the decision to name Hillary Clinton as Obama's VP candidate," predicted a sister site, Infowars.net.
Even the snarky D.C.-based Wonkette blog weighed in, half-seriously positing that "really, it sounds like" Obama and Clinton rendezvoused "at that creepy Bilderberg Group meeting, which is happening now, and which is so secret that nobody will admit they're going, even though everybody who is anybody goes to Bilderberg."
Curiously, though, the episode wasn't the first time a Bilderberg meeting intersected with vice presidential selection machinations.
In 2004, both Time magazine and the New York Times noted that then- Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C) had impressed Bilderbergers at that year's conference in Stresa, Italy-roughly one month prior to his selection as Sen. John Kerry's (D-Mass.) running mate-- when Edwards debated Republican Ralph Reed. Then, as in 2008, Jim Johnson led the vice presidential vetting.
Time reported that then-Sen. Jon Corzine (D-N.J.) and Holbrooke attended and called Kerry "with rave reviews" about Edwards' debate skills.
In its tick-tock of the vice-presidential selection process, the New York Times also noted the Bilderberg effect.
"His performance at Bilderberg was important," a friend of Kerry told the Times. "He reported back directly to Kerry. There were other reports on his performance. Whether they reported directly or indirectly, I have no doubt the word got back to Mr. Kerry about how well he did."
An attendee of the 2004 meeting dismissed the notion that Edwards' Bilderberg performance helped land him on the Democratic ticket.
"It wasn't because of his performance at the meeting - he was at the meeting because he was going to get picked" said the attendee, who did not want to be identified breaching Bilderberg's off-the-record rule. "He was there as a surrogate for Kerry" and to boost his foreign policy bona fides, said the attendee.
Either way, the attendee contended, the Bilderberg conspiracy theories don't make sense on their face, if only because the wide array of ideologies represented would make it difficult to reach consensus.
"There were so many different people there with so many different viewpoints that it belied the opportunity to really conspire, because obviously a Kissinger and a [prominent neoconservative Richard] Perle are going to come down in a very different place than say a Holbrooke or a Johnson," the attendee said.
Besides, the attendee observed, it's almost impossible to name a Bilderberger-free Cabinet.
"You'd be hard pressed to find an administration that hasn't reahed into those ranks into the last 20, 30, 40 years."

Conspiracists Push 'Bilderberger' Theory
(March 15) - Another conspiracy theory surrounding President Barack Obama is making the rounds, according to Politico.com.
http://www.bilderberg.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4268
http://news.aol.com/article/bilderberger-conspiracy/382953
The latest one contends that many top officials in Obama's administration are involved in a clandestine global cabal bent on creating a one-world government that supersedes the United States.
For decades, conspiracy theorists have viewed the Bilderberg group, an international organization made up of political, financial, academic and military heavyweights that comes together annually to discuss world affairs, as similar to the Trilateral Commission or the Council on Foreign Relations -- two groups comprised of influential movers and shakers who, some say, control world events from behind the scenes.
And now, some in the Obama administration who have taken part in Bilderberg conferences in the past are gaining attention for their alleged involvement in a secret bid for worldwide domination.........

Will G20 demo be deliberately turned into a violent event? http://groups.yahoo.com/group/diggers350/message/2180
Apologies if this comes across as patronising but it is so important to have at critique of this big up-and-coming event.
Please be aware that this event is likely to be riddled with Police, Mafia/Organised Crime and Intelligence services' Agents Provocateurs. The way they work is to infiltrate and influence genuine activist groups and they are almost entirely unaccountable.
Those lawless fanatics who want World War Three to get going as soon as possible are probably already looking closely at this event to make it as violent as possible, for innocent people to be hurt and to use that in the press as an excuse for yet further clampdowns on hard won Civil Liberties in Britain.
My own personal feeling is that unless all organisers make it absolutely clear that there will be no toleration of ANY violence, or risk of violence, against the person as well as serious stewarding and report-back measures in place to prevent agents provocateurs inflitrating the event then I would not take an active part. Organisers should consider showing they are not being influenced and manipulated by outside forces, by showing their organisational committment to proactive non-violence.
Please remember that the 7/7 London Bombings (that many believe to be a 'false flag' attack facilitated by the Israeli Defence Force) also took place at the time of a big international conference.

Cercle researcher resurfaces after 15 years to finish and publish book
David Teacher's ROGUE AGENTS: The Cercle Pinay complex 1951 - 1991 - November 8, 2008
"Formed in the Fifties... One of the most influential, secretive, and, it goes without saying, exclusive political clubs in the West... One member contacted by this newspaper said he could not talk about it "even off, off the record". Another simply put the phone down... The source of its funding is a mystery..."
- June 29, 1997, The Independent, 'Aitken dropped by the Right's secret club', one of the very few mainstream reports on Le Cercle.
Back in 1988 and 1989 Lobster Magazine published two major articles on a secretive group of French origin called the Pinay Cercle. These articles were written by David Teacher, a translator at the European Union. In 1991 Lobster Magazine announced that David would soon finish up a book on the Cercle, to be published in both French and English. Unfortunately the book never appeared (for reasons that have only become clear now), and Robin Ramsay, the editor of Lobster, lost contact with the author.
Fast forward to 2008: David Teacher, living in Geneva as an international administrator, discovers the ISGP website and the Cercle article on it. As a result he has decided to update and finish his original manuscript and allow it to be published here. The book gives great insight into the Paneuropean Right (what ISGP has been calling the Vatican- Pauneuropa network), and is a perfect addition to the information on this site. I suggest you download it, print it, read it, and spread it around.

The purpose of the Project for the Exposure of Hidden Institutions (PEHI) is to put together the entire spectrum of highly influential but low-profile organizations which appear to shape the world from behind the scenes. It's a grass-roots effort carried out by a person with absolutely zero "inside" sources. Although information will continue to be gathered on such organizations as Le Cercle, the 1001 Club, and the Pilgrims Society, in the future focus will shift to more loose networks and other, related topics. http://www.isgp.eu/
Witches have made headlines recently both in Germany and England. Mob violence is reported from Franconia, a Catholic province with a somewhat backward peasant population, against half-crazed old women accused of bewitching their neighbours. Farmer Sepp's best cow dies mysteriously, lice infest his house, his well dries up, his wife miscarries. Who is to blame? Old Mitzi, of course, who lives at the end of the land and once mumbled something nasty when Farmer Sepp accused her of stealing his apples. Nobody likes Old Mitzi, and the cat is doubtless a demonic familiar.
Julius Streicher, Nazi editor of Der Sturmer and Gauleiter of Franconia, exploited these old-fashioned witch-hunting instincts when he blamed the Jews for all Germany's ills. Now that the Jews have all gone, peasants vent their spite on witches again.
The sudden spread of organized witch groups in modem Britain follows naturally from Dr. Margaret Murray's anthropological studies, Witchcraft in Western. Europe and The God of the Witches, published a generation ago. She surprised her readers by -presenting witches as members of an ancient British fertility cult - akin to those of Greece, Italy and Germany - whom the Christians persecuted for their stubborn traditionalism and who, despite all witness to the contrary, were harmless enough.
Until then, the popular view of witches had been the semi-comic Victorian one of the old crones in steeple hats riding through the moonlit air on brooms. Witch-hunts were ascribed to mass-hysteria, like the frequent reports of flying saucers a few years ago; and lawyers could smile at our famous legal authority, Blackstone of The Commentaries, who wrote: 'To deny the possibility, nay, the actual existence of witchcraft, is to contradict the revealed world of God.' Blackstone had in mind I Samuel xxviii, 7-25, when the Witch of Endor raised up Samuel's ghost for Saul. But he can have placed little reliance in the confessions of supposed witches, extorted under the Witchcraft Act of 1541 by inquisitors armed with the official handbook, Malleus Maleficarum, or Hammer of Witches. Witch trials had been a public scandal at the time, although Elizabeth's inquisitors did not use the rack, hot tongs, tooth-drawing, or other crude Continental methods which violated English Common Law.
The witch's alleged crimes - of blasting crops, producing abortions in women and impotence in men, causing murrain among cattle, raising gales to wreck ships, killing by use of wax images or direct means - were all subsidiary to a greater sin of a pact with the Devil. Confession of this sin was readily obtained by anticipation of modern brain-washing techniques.
The word witch derives from the Anglo-Saxon wicca, 'a magician who weakens the power of evil'; and it was held that these 'powers of evil' could be identified and weakened only by a priest. A witch was taking too much on himself by his spells. Before the Norman Conquest, however, a proved witch had merely to do penance, though in some cases for as much as seven years; it was not until 1562 that he could be condemned to death. Many thousands of witches were then hanged: most charges being prompted by fear, malice, revenge, hope of gain, or sheer fanaticism - just as, in war¬time, spies are seen everywhere. King James I intervened personally at the trial of the North Berwick witches, who confessed that they had attempted to wreck his ship by throwing a christened cat into the sea. This offended his common sense, and he shouted out that they lied. But Agnes Sampson, a leader of the coven answered quietly that she did not wish him to think her a liar. Drawing James aside, she repeated word for word the conversation which had passed between him and his Danish queen in bed on their wedding night. Such manifest proof of second sight tilled him with fear: and the witches were accordingly hanged.
Witch-hunting in England was largely the sport of Puritans. They took to heart the Mosaic command in Exodus xxii, 18: 'Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live !' Though a distinction had been hitherto made between 'white witches', who did cures or told fortunes in the name of the Virgin or the Saints, and the 'black witches', who followed their own dark devices, a witch's colour made no odds to the Puritans. After the Reformation their madness slowly cooled, but it was not until George II's reign that the various Witchcraft Acts were replaced by one making the crime punishable only if used for monetary fraud. In 1950, this was superseded by the 'Fraudulent Mediums Act', when a confession of witchcraft became no more dangerous than that of atheism. Three or four covens seem somehow to have survived in England when Dr. Murray's sympathetic reassessment of organized witchcraft made a revival possible. It was helped by Britain's rapid de- Christianization, which did not imply a moral decline, but rather a criticism of church-going as inadequate to spiritual needs and out-of- step with history and science. Some of the younger generation took to ideal Communism or Nuclear Disarmament. But the witch cult, presented by Dr. Murray as a more ancient form of worship than Christianity, attracted the daredevils.
Its revival allowed full play to the stronger human emotions. Witches met secretly in wooded country, not in cold Gothic cathedrals or red- brick chapels. Women took as important a part in the dancing, singing, and feasting as men.
Each 'coven' consisted of six pairs, either husbands and wives, or engaged couples, and an officiating priestess. All went naked. Tests of fortitude under flagellation and horrific danger, the raising of spirits, cauldron stirrings, incense burning, love feasts, round- dances performed back to back, served one main purpose: that of reaching an ecstatic state in which the magnetic force of the whole coven was focused on some unanimously chosen object. Strange phenomena were then experienced - among them, it was said, visions of past and future. To concentrate this force, the rites were formed in a magic circle cut on turf.
I am not a witch myself and have never assisted at any Sabbath. Although most English witches of my acquaintance are honest idealists, the craft attracts hysterical or perverted characters and, there being no longer a Grand Master or Chief Devil to discipline them, schisms and dissolutions are frequent in covens.
The main architect of this revival was an elderly Scottish anthropologist, now dead, Dr. Gerald Gardner, curator of a Witchcraft Museum in the Isle of Man, and author of Witchcraft Today, a popular apology for his fellow-witches.
Dr. Gardner was first initiated into a Hertfordshire coven whose traditions had, it seems, been reinterpreted by a group of theosophists before being aligned with his own views of what young witches need in the way of fun and games. A female deity whom Dr. Gardner identified with the ancient European Moon-goddess, was preferred to Dr. Murray's Homed God.
Witchcraft Today, with a foreword by Dr. Murray, excited immediate attention. Sensational attacks made on Dr. Gardner by the British Press as 'a devil worshipper who puts around the dangerous idea that witchcraft is not evil' seems to have been based on Montague Summers' highly coloured accounts of diabolism and blood sacrifice in his Witchcraft and Black Magic. Dr. Gardner who believes in neither the devil nor in blood sacrifice received hundreds of fan-letters and applications for admittance to witch covens.
Apparently the equal division of the sexes in modem covens is Dr. Gardner's contribution to the craft; for Dr. Murray shows that although every medieval coven had its Maiden as assistant to the Chief, men were in the majority.
That witches existed in Britain from early times is undeniable. Members of a surviving Somersetshire coven still carry small blue tattoos in woad pricked below a particular finger joint, which stands for a letter in the pre-Christian Celtic alphabet. They call themselves 'Druids', worship a neolithic British god, and meet at cross-quarter-days - Candlemas, May Eve, Lammas, and Hallowe'en - in a Druidic stone circle. Nevertheless, I suspect that their traditions are based on reforms made by some late eighteenth century antiquarian of the Edward Davies school.
Druids are chosen, after puberty, for certain natural powers of intuition and diagnosis, second sight, and thought control. Their membership, though tending to run in local families, includes professional men and women from London and Bristol. Their practices are very different from the spell casting, love-philtres, poisonings and blackmail of ancient Franconian, or indeed present-day Majorcan, witches! There is a village carpenter, living not many miles from my home in Majorca, whose wife, hearing that he was in love with the baker's daughter, once put a spell on him. He could no longer cross the doorstep into the street without fainting; not for 13 years. Then his wife died, he followed her coffin across the threshold and is now happily married to the baker's daughter.
Dr. Murray, Miss Christina Hole, Mr. Mervyn Peake, the late Charles Williams, and other investigators seem to have ignored one important fact about the medieval witch cult: that it was brought to Europe by the Saracens, and grafted on a pagan Celtic stock. The Saracens had seized Spain in 711 A.D. (and were not expelled until 1492), controlled southern France by 889, and soon added to it Savoy, Piedmont, and part of Switzerland. Their witch groups, like the dervishes, were devoted to ecstatic dancing, miraculous cures, and the pursuit of wisdom personified as a Divine Woman, from whom comes The Queen of Elphame, beloved by Thomas the Rhymer and other Scottish witch-men.
The God of the witches is held by Dr. Murray to be a lineal descendant of a paleolithic Goat or Stag-god who later became the Gaulish Cernunnus, and Shakespeare's Herne the Hunter. Yet the lighted candle which every Grand Master, disguised as a black he-goat, wore between his horns on the great Witches' Sabbath - whether in England or in France - points in a very different direction.
Idries Shah Sayed, the Sufi historian, has shown that a candle set between two horns emblemised the ninth-century Aniza school of mystics, founded by Abu-el-Ataahia. Abu came from the powerful Arabian Aniza (Goat) tribe, to which our contemporaries, Ibn Saud's sons and the Ruler of Kuwait both belong. The candle therefore meant 'illumination from the head of Aniza'.
'Robin', the generic name for a Chief or Grand Master, represents the Persian Rah-bin ('he who sees the road'). A Berber off-shoot of the Aniza school was known as 'the Two-Horned', and in Spain lived under the protection of the Aragonese Kings, who intermarried alike with the Prophet's royal descendants at Granada and with the English monarchy. It is evidently this particular cult that reached the British Isles.
An illustration on the cover of Sadducismus Trium¬phantus, a 1681 chap- book, shows Robin Goodfellow, horns on his head and candle in hand, capering among a coven of witches who number 13 like the Berber groups. A Two-Horned devotee wore his ritual knife, the ad-dbamne ('athame' to present-day witches) unsheathed and, as a reminder of his mortality, danced in a kafan, or winding-sheet (which is the most probable derivation of coven), at a meeting known as az zabat, 'the Powerful Occasion'. Hence the 'Witches Sabbath', or 'Esbar'. Two beautiful young French witches told De" Lancre, an examiner at La Bourd, that their Sabbath was a paradise of inexpressible joy, a prelude to still greater glory, and far better than the Mass. The Two Horneq did indeed consider ecstasy no more than a prelude to divine wisdom. Some of them rode sticks, or brooms, like hobby-horses; cantering 'widder-shins', against the course of the sun, as around the Kaaba at Mecca; which explains why English witches were accused of causing storms, mildew, and blight by this means. Modern witches are careful to dance in the sun-wise direction.
It is not known at what period the Two-Horned cult entered Britain. The climate was favourable in 1208, when the Pope laid England under an Interdict for ten years, and King John sent an embassy to Morocco with secret promises that he would turn Moslem. And again, 100 years later, when the entire Order of Knights Templars was accused of witchcraft and suppressed at the Pope's orders.
The original school of Aniza achieved a state of ecstasy by beating drums and cymbals, or rhythmic clapping in ever-increasing tempo: but hallucinogenic drugs seem to have been preferred at a later period, lest the noise of Two-Horned revels might come to the ears of Church officers.
The earliest accounts of broomstick rides say nothing of levitation; later ones suggest that an English witch, when initiated, was blindfolded, smeared with toxic flying ointment, and set astride a broom. The ointment contained fox-glove (digitalis) to accelerate the pulse, aconite to numb feet and hands, and belladonna, cowbane, or hemlock to confuse the senses. Other witches fanned the novice's face and, after a while, she could no longer feel her feet on the ground.
The cry went up :
Horse and hattock,
Horse and go,
Horse and pellatis
Ho, Ho!
and she believed the Chief who told her she was flying across land and sea.
Loathing of the crucifix is attributed alike to Templars and witches, the crucifix being a graven image of the kind which Moses (supported by Jesus himself, and by Mahomed) forbade to be worshipped. Both witches and Templars were, in fact, Christians, though heretical ones. Robin Hood ballads, sung at May Games around a pagan Maypole, suggest that the Two-Horned cult had been active in the reign of Edward 11, who enlisted Robin and his merry men as Royal archers. Robin and Maid Marian belonged to a coven of thirteen.
But the Two-Horned did not dance naked; nor did any medieval British witches. The modern cult has borrowed its nudism either from the Far East or from Germany - where souvenir shops in the Harz mountains have long been selling figurines of naked young Brocken Hexen astride brooms.
There is no need to worry about modern witches. In fact, they have a great many worries of their own: such as that of finding 'seclusion for their rites - difficult these days, except in private houses or at nudist camps. Also charges of obscenity and diabolism, still levelled at them by newspapers. The diabolic Black Masses described by Montague Summers are not witchcraft, but intellectual atheism: a revolt from within the Catholic Church against its prime mysteries.
In 1954, Dr. Gardner wrote gloomily about the future of witchcraft: 'I think we must say goodbye to the witch. The cult is doomed, I am afraid, partly because of modern conditions, housing shortage, the smallness of modern families, and chiefly by 'education. The modern child is not interested. He knows witches are all bunk.'
Yet the craft seems healthy enough now, and growing fast, though torn by schisms and Dr. Gardner's death. It now only needs some gifted mystic to come forward, reunite, and decently reclothe it, and restore its original hunger for wisdom. Fun and games are insufficient. The very latest development is that certain reputable psychotherapists are considering the possibility of curing their more socially inhibited patients by a discipline based on modern witchcraft, after enlisting coven-leaders in their service. But psychological science, even if supported by a prolonged study of primitive magic, is insufficient. Like fun and games.

The Sabbath - at which thirteen persons met by night to worship the Devil with obscene rites - was in Europe the direct outcome of the spread of Christianity. The New religion sought to enforce fasting, chastity and a generally puritanical existence. Many people were used to looking forward to such Roman festivals as the Saturnalia, when slaves were for a day the equal of their masters, and feasting ended in a general orgy. In consequence the Old religion went underground. It must, too, be remembered that in the Dark Ages there were no buses to take people from lonely villages into the towns; no newspapers, football pools or television. So the Devil was on a good wicket for tempting country folk into occasional nights of wild indulgence.
Today Sabbaths - like those recently reported from Birmingham - usually take place in houses. But one cannot altogether ignore the persistent rumours of moonlight gatherings for Satan worship in Cornwall, Derbyshire and Northern Scotland; and there is very good reason to believe that a Sabbath was held on the site of an old pagan temple in the Cotswolds as recently as last April.
Aleister Crowley, so I was told by a well-known Member of Parliament who knew him intimately, held a Sabbath, of sorts, when he was up at Cambridge. He was a brilliant scholar, and planned to produce a Greek play; but owing to its immorality the Master of John's forbade him to do so.
To be avenged he made a wax image of the Master, then induced some of his fellow students to accompany him on a propitious night to a field. Having performed certain rites, Crowley called on the Devil and was about to plunge a needle into the liver of the wax figure. But his companions panicked. His arm was jerked and, instead, the figure's ankle was pierced. Next day the Master fell down some steps and broke his ankle.
Covens always numbered thirteen - a parody of The Last' Supper. They met in lonely dells, or sometimes in a high place if upon it there was an ancient monolith. There had to be a pond near-by: if there were not the members of the Coven dug a hole and urinated into it. Sabbaths were held at full-moon, and on St. Walpurga's Eve (April 30th), St. John's Eve (June 23rd) and All hallowe'en (October 31st). On those dates Grand Sabbaths were also held, by thirteen Covens uniting at such places as the Brocken mountain in Germany and on Salisbury Plain.
The badge of office of the Chief of each Coven was a string worn below the left knee. This emblem of occult power goes back to prehistoric times, and it is probable that the Most Noble Order of the Garter originated from it.
The chronicle tells us that while King Edward III was dancing with his mistress, the Countess of Salisbury, her garter fell off; and, to her great confusion, snatching it up, he proclaimed the founding of the Order. Her confusion would have been great if it was a witch's garter; and it is conceivable that she was the Queen Witch of England. If so, by seizing her insignia he took her power to himself. It may well have been a clever political move to merge into his person as King the Chieftainship of the followers of the Old religion, of whom in those days there were still great numbers.
It is at least curious that he should have limited the Order to the Sovereign, the Prince of Wales and 24 Knights - two Covens; and that the Sovereign's mantle is embroidered with 168 garters which., with the garter he wears, makes 169 - i.e. 13 x 13 signifying lordship over that number of Covens.
The attempted suppression of the Old religion did not start till much later, and had its origin in the growing Puritanism which led to the Reformation. There then began the horrible witch-hunts in which old women, often guilty only of ugliness or practising White Magic, were ducked in ponds to see if they would float, stripped and searched for a third teat from which they were believed to feed their familiars - a cat, owl or toad - and stuck with pins, to find the spot rendered painless by the touch of the Devil's finger when he had accepted them as his own.
When preparing for a Sabbath, witches smeared their bodies with an unguent. Some unguents had stupefying qualities which caused them to dream that they had ridden naked through the night on a broomstick and that the Devil had had sexual intercourse with them.
The cult of the Voodoo goddess Erzulie is of a similar nature. Today, in the West Indies, every Thursday night thousands of negroes light candles to her, put clean sheets on their beds and - as she is violently jealous - turn their unfortunate wives out of the house; then give themselves up to dream embraces with this female counterpart of Satan.
The use of unguents by those who actually attended the Sabbaths is paralleled by modern worshippers in Satanic Temples inhaling the smoke from burning certain herbs. This has the effect of overcoming the scruples of the more timid, who might otherwise be revolted by the acts they are called on to perform, and stimulating the more hardened to a frenzy of abandonment. Aphrodisiacs are, of course, taken by all to increase sexual potency.
A Sabbath must have been a truly hellish spectacle. Head masks of goats, bats, cats and other animals were worn to conceal the identity of the participants. In a great cauldron a hell-broth bubbled - 'eye of newt and toe of frog, wool of bat and tongue of dog', etc. A band struck up but each member of it played a different tune, resulting in cacophony. Grabbing up food and drink, the company gorged themselves to a surfeit. Naked but for their masks, they danced in a circle back to back. The Chief of the Coven presented his posterior and the others kissed it in homage. He, or she, then 'blessed' evil amulets, among which there was some times a dead man's hand - a talisman that was said to enable a robber to enter any house without being heard. Finally, in a wild orgy they vied with one another in sexual excess and every form of perversion.
The equivalents of Sabbaths are held by the Mau Mau to initiate recruits. Among other horrors the initiate, male or female, is made to perform most bestial acts with a goat and one of the Devil's names is 'The Goat of Mendes'.
In Haiti, too, such abominations still take place. There, the most terrible rite ever conceived is performed - the taking of a man's soul. The selected victim is bewitched and to all appearances dies. After he has been buried his body is dug up and re-animated. He does not know who he is; his memory has been completely obliterated. He has become a Zombie. The wizard who has stricken him puts him to work in the fields. There he labours automatically and tirelessly, day after day, until he really dies from natural causes.
Zora Huston, a coloured American journalist of repute, carried out an exhaustive investigation into this subject. In her book, Voodoo Gods, she publishes a photograph of a Zombie.
Witches' Sabbaths, in various forms, are still held by people of every race and religion, but the Black Mass is exclusively a perversion of Christianity. It is a religious ceremony as distinct from a Satanic 'beanfeast'.
Each Holy Mass is dedicated to a definite 'intention'; so are Black Masses. It will be recalled that King Albert I of Belgium died in most mysterious circumstances ~ He was an exceptionally good man, so his premature end was a tragedy for all Europe. Soon after the publication of my book The Haunting of Toby Jugg I received a letter from a woman who stated that she had been present at a Black Mass held in Brighton the day before King Albert died, and that it had been held with the intention of bringing about his death. Her account was highly circumstantial and showed her to have a thorough knowledge of the Black Art.
Incidentally, it was at Brighton that Aleister Crowley was cremated in 1947, and the Black Magic rites that his disciples performed at his funeral led to an inquiry by the Town Council. .
The mummery indulged in during the celebration of a Black Mass might seem rather childish, were it not so horrible and carried out with intense seriousness by those who participate. It is a complete travesty of the Christian ritual and the supreme act in the worship of the Devil.
The celebrant and his assistant - who is always a woman - wear their vestments back to front, and hitched up so as to expose their sexual parts. The altar is furnished with a broken crucifix standing upside down, and black candles in which brimstone has been mixed with the tallow. The ceremony opens by the congregation reciting the Lord's Prayer backwards.
Of this particular blasphemy I was an unconscious wit¬ness three years ago in a cellar Night Club in Nice. The compere of the cabaret was a haggard-looking man of about sixty, with a shock of white hair. After a husky rendering of some questionable songs, he began to intone. My French is limited almost to reading a restaurant menu, so I asked the friends who had brought me there what he was saying 'The Paternoster backwards,' they replied, shrugging it off as a memory feat in ill taste. But my own belief is that it was a subtle form of 'invitation' - an indication to anyone present who was interested in Black Magic that the blasphemer could put them in touch with a Satanic Circle. A more usual means of recruiting for the Devil is through Spiritualism. I cannot believe that any good ever comes of trying to get in touch with loved ones who have died, although one cannot blame broken-hearted people who attempt to do so; but others attend seances only in search of excitement. At many seances the Black fraternity have what might be termed 'talent scouts'. They are on the lookout for widows 'of a certain age', for wealthy gentlemen in the fifties who have developed a prostate, and for young women who show signs of being neurotic.
They tell such people that the medium's 'act' is kindergarten stuff, and that they can show them something really thrilling. The older ones of both sexes who accept such invitations soon find their desires satisfied - at the price of having been photographed by hidden cameras and later blackmailed - the younger, drugged, dragooned and terrified, become the unpaid prostitutes of the Satanic Temples from which hideous bondage they rarely manage to escape.
At a Black Mass the whole ritual is recited backwards, then Communion wafers are defiled. These wafers are stolen from churches, and during the past twenty years the Press has reported numerous cases of such thefts. Next the sacrifice is offered up, its throat cut, the blood caught in a chalice and drunk in place of Communion wine. Finally the celebrant has intercourse with his assistant on the altar and the congregation, made frenzied by incense containing drugs, throw themselves upon one another in a general orgy.
To be of maximum effectiveness the Black Mass should be celebrated by an unfrocked priest, and the sacrifice be an unweaned babe. Madame de Montespan, the beautiful mistress of Louis XIV, ordered many Black Masses with the 'intention' of retaining the King's waning love; and, it is said, both gave herself to the infamous Abbe Guibourg, who celebrated them for her, and bought unwanted babies for sacrifice. The case of the warrior-sorcerer Gilles de Rais - upon whom the Blue Beard story was founded - permits of no doubt. After his execution the remains of 14 murdered children were found in the dungeons of his castle.
In our modern world it is not easy to buy infants, or kidnap them without risk of detection; so the usual sacrifice is a cat. Aleister Crowley, so a disciple of his told me, always used cats at his Abbaye de Theleme in Sicily. There was, too, the severed paw of a white kitten left on the altar of the Church of St. John the Baptist at Yarcombe, Somerset, in 1948. The church had been broken into and desecrated In various ways, making it evident that a Black Mass had been celebrated there.
The parallel Pagan rituals of the Carthaginians, the Aztecs and the Druids, all called for human sacrifice, but not necessarily of a child. And there remains unsolved the murder of Charles Walton at Meon Hill, Warwickshire, in 1945, to which no explanation could be found - other than that it was a ritual killing.
'They draw pentacles on the floor, sir, and late at night the men dress up in silk smocks with the signs of the Zodiac on them. The ladies come down wearing masks and red, highheeled shoes. I've seen black candles, too.
'I hadn't an idea what it was all about. Just thought they were playing charades, or something, until I read your book To the Devil- a Daughter. Of course, I tumbled to it then. There can be no doubt about it, my employers are Satanists.'
The above is from a letter written to me by a chauffeur. He was employed by wealthy people who lived in a big house in the Eastern Counties. He went on to say that these parties sometimes numbered as many as twenty people, some of whom came down from London in big cars and drove off in them again before dawn.
This man wrote to me three times. He gave his address, signed his name and offered to meet me in his nearest town. In view of that, and the fact that his letters showed no signs of hysteria, I see no reason to suppose that he was not telling the truth.
Such gatherings to practise the Black Art undoubtedly take place. There are, of course, phony imitations, organized only for the purpose of lechery followed by blackmail, but genuine Satan worship is still as prevalent today as - shall we say - the dope traffic.
Magic is a science. It cannot just be picked up. One would have to have a quite exceptional brain to make, unaided, any practical use of Eliphas Levi's Doctrine and Ritual of Transcendental Magic, or the famous Malleus Maleficarum, or even of Aleister Crowley's Magick in Theory and Practice; let alone of the rare but great classics such as Le Clavicule de Salomon and Grimoire of Pope Honorius. Without a sound understanding of the esoteric doctrine it would be futile - if not actually dangerous - to call up evil forces, or to rely for protection on a pentacle the Cabalistic signs of which had been chosen by guesswork.
It follows that the sorcerer or witch must be taught his or her business, just as the priests of any other religion are taught theirs. Therefore, secret societies to hand down the Devil's mysteries, and to spread his cult as widely as possible among the ignorant, have always existed.
Their most successful operations have been to infiltrate themselves into the leadership of movements for reform. Many saintly men have led revolts against the abuses of the 'Church, but their words have been misinterpreted and their work worse than undone by the disciples of evil a generation later.
An example is cited in the first volume of Sir Winston Churchill's book, A History of the English-Speaking Peoples. The Albigenses, [Cathars? ed.] a people who in the thirteenth century inhabited a large part of south-western France, were led to believe that 'life on this earth in the flesh was the work of Satan', which meant that 'they were freed from the menaces of the next'. Like a prairie fire immorality and disorder spread through the whole region. The King of France launched a 'home Crusade'; they were massacred by the thousand, until none was left.
Then there were the Knights Templar, an Order of Chivalry founded for the rescue of the Holy Sepulchre. Their main base was Malta. In their decadence, perverted by evil successors to their early Grand Masters, initiates had to spit three times on the Cross and swear allegiance to the Devil in the form of a bearded idol named Baphomet.
Their headquarters in Paris was a palace-fortress called the Temple. King Philippe IV had their Grand Master, Jacques de Molay, and many of his Knights arrested there, and brought to trial for heresy. They were burnt at the stake. But the Order swore to be avenged upon the Monarchy of France.
Five hundred years later it was. From the tower of the Temple Louis XVI was taken to the guillotine. And that the Temple had been chosen for his prison was not chance. The French Revolution was directed by the Masonic Lodge of the Grand Orient, which had inherited the championship of evil.
It should be clearly understood that Masonry in the British Commonwealth has no connection whatever with the Grand Orient. Continental Masonry is altogether different. Its inner circles are the successors of those of the German Illuminati and the Rosicrucians -:- two other great secret societies whose leaders started them with good intent, but which later fell into evil hands. Even its rank and file members are avowed atheists.
In the past two hundred years the Grand Orient has brought about many revolutions and in 1902-4, with the French War Minister, General André, in its toils, it succeeded in so weakening the High Command of the Army that France would have proved incapable of resisting invasion.
It is the Grand Orient, more than all other factors together, which has reduced France, once the most powerful nation in Europe, to her present pitiful condition. But now its activities are being surpassed by those of its fellow revolutionaries and atheists - the Communists. Their founder, Karl Marx, advocated the destruction of the middle classes by every means including violence, and their efforts are world wide.
The dual principle of Good and Evil, which is the basis of every religion, must continue in perpetual conflict until the end of time. On the Right hand we have warmth, light, growth and order; on the Left hand darkness, cold, decay and chaos.
Do the authorities know of any Satanic societies operating in our midst today? I can only tell you that when discussing this matter in 1938 with one of my oldest friends - a man who has spent most of his life in MI5 - he asked me:
'Does "The Shadow" convey anything to you?'
'No,' I replied.
He made a wry grimace and said: 'Believe me, Dennis, I would rather be up against a combination of the most dangerous German and Russian agents I have ever known, than up against "The Brothers of the Shadow".'
There is a 'gap in the curtain' through which some people can see. Of that I have incontestable proof.
In the 1920s I used occasionally to visit a seer named Dewhirst. He predicted to me the circumstances in which I should meet my wife' and even described the way she did her hair.
In 1932 I went to see him again. Immediately I entered his room he exclaimed: 'You've written a book!'
That was pretty staggering as I had not seen him for two years and I had only just sent the manuscript of my first novel to an agent. But he went on:
'You are on your right road at last. Someone whose name begins with H will sell millions of your books. They will be read in every country under the sun.' Then he named the seven weeks ahead, on which I would have good news about my book.
On that date I learned that Walter Hutchinson had taken The Forbidden Territory for publication..
He used no cards or crystal. Only lesser soothsayers require such aids for tuning in to the occult. And I have never 'known anyone else with such powers of supernormal vision.
Fortune-telling of this kind is not evil. But it becomes so, when cruelty to animals and/or Satanic rituals are employed. The Ancients examined the entrails of still living birds and beasts; and necromancy entails raising the dead as that dark tale in the Bible tells us the Witch of Endor did for Saul. .
Whole life forecasts are obtained by casting horoscopes. That means relating the day and hour of birth to the position of the Heavenly bodies. It is a long and complicated process, as the Sun, Moon and Planets are all credited with contributing to a person's character and influencing his acts.
Each, too, has a number, and every person has a number arrived at by a combination of. his birth date and the numerological value of the letters forming his name. The ancient belief is that from these lucky and unlucky days and periods can be foretold.
This possibility cannot be ruled out. There is good reason to believe that plants thrive better when planted under a waxing Moon. It is possible that each Heavenly body emits something in the nature of what we now term 'cosmic rays', to which the human mind is sensitive. If so, they are governed by Natural Laws not yet fathomed by science - and we regard predictions of this kind as supernatural only because we have no explanation for them.
Palmistry is definitely a science, although not yet accepted as such. I learned to read hands while serving as a subaltern on the Western Front. With practice anyone can tell character, talents and health. tendencies from the shape of the hands, their resilience, the nails and the lines on the palms. But, when it comes to predicting the future, the latter must be regarded as a means of tuning in.
Disappointment and warped judgment are the price that nearly everyone pays who seeks guidance by having his fortune told - however innocent the means. Because, even apart from fraud, the tendency is always to interpret predictions in the sense one would like them to mean. The most famous oracle of ancient times was at Delphi. In a cellar priestesses threw themselves into a trance by inhaling the smoke of burning herbs, then answered questions put to them through a crack in the ceiling. Their utterances usually contained the germ of truth, but were so cryptic that numerous Greek generals were led by them into doing the wrong thing.
The extraordinary prophecies of Nostradamus, in the sixteenth century, were so obscure that few people understood them when made; yet many of them have since been fulfilled. Among other things, he predicted that in the year 2000 Paris would finally be destroyed by fire sent down from a flock of giant man-made birds coming from the Far :East. That must have sounded sheer nonsense 400 years ago. But, were I likely to live that long, you would not find me drinking a champagne cocktail in the Ritz bar there round the year 2000. ,
Perhaps, though, by then the Russians will be occupying Paris, and the atom-belching missiles have been despatched from an Australia which has become the home base of the British people? It is so easy to put a wrong construction on prophecies. The stars may foretell that on Wednesday 'Something is coming your way'. It may be an old boot at your head.
And predictions can lead you into trouble. When Dewhirst foretold big money from my book for me, I might have gone on a spending spree. But it was not until a year later that I received more than an advance of £30, so I would have landed myself in a nasty mess.
The following shows how futile it is to make plans based on information received by occult means. Hitler employed the best astrologers and soothsayers that could be found in the Nazi empire, and never made a move without consulting them. Churchill, on the other hand, had no dealings with such people. All War Cabinet decisions were based upon reasoned assessments submitted by our Chiefs of Staff. Yet the British - for a year, alone - held the whole might of Germany at bay.
A few more words on Magic. No saying is less true than that 'The Devil looks after his own'. I have never yet met anyone who practised Black, or even Grey, Magic who was not hard up.
Finally: should you ever have reason to believe that you or yours have come into the orbit of malignant occult forces, do not hesitate to consult your parson or priest. They will not laugh. And should you ever be confronted with an evil manifestation, have no fear. Pray for help. It will immediately be given to you. Make the Sign of the Cross and 'thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night'.
I've been trawling around for something reasonably authoritative on this subject for a while - here is a first on the web tonight for these two Dennis Wheatley essays.

The Devil is just round the corner, and he is watching you. Don't you believe that? There are a lot of people who do, and some of them, even in this country, still participate in abominable rites for the purpose of courting his favour.
If you do not believe that the Devil is interested in you, then you do not believe in God, without Whose knowledge, so the Bible tells us, not a sparrow falls. You cannot believe in one and not the other. In the beginning Lucifer, to give the Devil his personal name, was an Archangel. His pride and ambition caused him to become the leader of the first revolution. God gave St. Michael command of the loyal angels. There was a tremendous battle and Michael's angels drove Lucifer and his angels out of Heaven down to Earth. That is why the Devil is known as 'The Lord of This World'.
That, too, is why, when our Lord Jesus Christ was on earth, the Devil was able to take Him up into a High Place and offer Him dominion over the fair cities and fruitful plains. To deny that the Temptation occurred is to deny a fundamental tenet of the Christian religion. In the Middle Ages it was not uncommon for people to report that the Devil had appeared to them. In those days everyone's mind was dominated by religion. Most people attended two services on Sundays, fasted on Fridays and were present at family prayers morning and evening. They had no holidays other than Saints' days and going on a pilgrimage;. they went regularly to confession and, for even the smallest sin, had to perform a penance. For them Heaven and Hell were vivid realities and, as life was cheap, they might find themselves pitchforked into one or the other with little warning. So it is not surprising that the more imaginative sometimes 'saw things'. We may, therefore, put down most of these reported 'visions' as the product of an empty stomach upon an empty brain. But not all.
Not, that is, if we can believe the late Aleister Crowley, who once assured me that it is perfectly possible to raise - he did not say the Devil, but that was what he meant.
Of course, it is not suggested that the mighty Lucifer ..... who is second only in power to the Lord God Himself appears to people in person. But each of us has a Guardian Angel, and it is his opposite number, a creature of the Devil's charged with our undoing, who, in exceptional circumstances, may become visible to human eyes. The form in which such evil entities materialise is naturally that expected of them. Hence the fire-breathing horrors with horns, cloven hoofs and spiked tail which appeared to people in the Middle Ages, and that in Crowley's case it was that of Pan - the coldly evil Greek horned-god whom he had deliberately conjured up.
Why, you may ask, are people rarely troubled by such supernatural visitors in these days? The answer is that life is infinitely more complex, and the modem mind occupied by such things as politics, sport, the cinema, travel, broadcasts, the constant change in the fashions of clothes, and so on to the exclusion of religion. They are no longer interested in either saints or demons.
But do not suppose that, for that reason, the Devil no longer exists. As part of the original Creation he is immortal. Being no fool he has adapted himself to modem conditions and gone underground. It is with good reason that one of his names is 'Lord of Misrule'. God's wish, clearly manifested in the teachings of Jesus Christ, is that we should avoid all cause for quarrels and so lead peaceful orderly lives. The Devil's province is to make us do the opposite. By luring individuals into sin he can break up families; by fostering trade disputes he can cause conditions which. ultimately lead to poverty and crime; by arousing the passions of nations he can cause war.
From the beginning of time he has made tools of the greedy, the discontented and the ambitious, stimulating them by the temptation of power to sabotage peace, prosperity and good stable government. Can anyone maintain that he has been idle during the past half century?
These subtle and ubiquitous activities apart, the Devil still plays an active role in the lives of quite a number of people. It is a fact that any day in a bus or a train YOU may be sitting opposite to a man or woman who has made a pact with Satan, or been sold to him. In the introduction to Story IV 'A Life for a Life' I have already mentioned the case of the Essex woman who was' sold as a child to the Devil; and as 'Lord of this World' the Devil does not, of course, confine his attention to Christian people. As an example there is the case of the young Australian aboriginal, Lyn Wulumu, which was recently featured in the Press.
His mother-in-law wanted him out of the way so she 'sung him the song of the dreamtime snake'. When this is done by a votary of Satan a dream-snake coils itself round the body of the victim and gradually crushes him until he can no longer breathe. Lyn Wulumu, unquestionably a dying man, was flown down by the Methodist Mission to Darwin Hospital. Four doctors could find nothing whatever wrong with him physically, but they put him in an iron lung; his life was saved and it is now reported that he has regained the will to live.
My books with occult backgrounds have brought me many hundreds of letters from all parts of the world upon similar subjects. Scores of them are, of course, from people with bees in their bonnets; but with some knowledge of such matters it is not difficult to sort the wheat from he chaff, and many are from doctors, magistrates and clergymen vouching for their personal knowledge of happenings impossible to explain except as the result of witchcraft.
The fact is that, although unrealized by most Europeans, in every great city, in the jungles of Africa, the villages of Asia, the plantations of the West Indies, and even in some remote hamlets of our own countryside. Satanism is still practised.
The dual principle of Good and Evil, which is the basis of every religion, must continue in perpetual conflict until the end of time. On the Right hand we have light, warmth, growth and order; on the Left hand, darkness, cold, decay and chaos.
Each of us, having within us a part of the eternal Spirit, is able at will to communicate with the Higher Powers and draw down from them additional power to ourselves. The Saints did so by prayer to God, which enabled them to perform their miracles. The Devil may be found even quicker to answer.
As a young officer in the 1914-18 war, while convalescing, I, played a lot of vingt-et-un. After one ten-hour session, having become bored from drawing few cards worth betting upon, on the bank passing to me, I called on the Devil to give me luck. I drew two aces, doubled the table, drew another ace, split three times and finished with two naturals and a five and under. Everyone paid me sixteen times his original stake.
That shook the other chaps at the table; but it shook me infinitely more, as, sooner or later, that sort of 'luck' has to be paid for. I have never prayed to the Devil since. Neither have I ever attended any form of magical ceremony or a séance. It is obviously such a fascinating game that even the strongest-willed person could easily get drawn further and further into it until - well, there are several very real dangers. The least is that one might find oneself being blackmailed for taking part in obscene practices. The worst, failure to pull out in time, with the realization that one had imperilled one's immortal soul. There is also the risk of slipping up in some ritual, with consequent failure to keep under control the forces one has called up. The result of that used to be called demonic possession. It is now classed as lunacy. One of Crowley's occult 'operations' misfired; so that he was found next morning a gibbering idiot, and had to spend six months in an asylum.
By prayer, fasting, and mortification of the flesh, the Saints called down power in order that they might perform miracles to the glorification of God, and heal the sick. This, the use of Supernatural Power for good or unselfish ends, is WHITE MAGIC.
The use of Supernatural Power for wicked or selfish ends is BLACK MAGIC. Such magic is of the Devil and can be obtained only by such sexual depravity and bestial rites as are described in the official reports of the initiation ceremonies of the Mau Mau.
Yet it is not only in Africa that such abominations are practised. A few years ago women were giving themselves up to hideous eroticism with a great carved ebony figure, during Satanic orgies held in a secret temple in Bayswater, London, W.2.
Perhaps the most interesting man I met while collecting data for my novels with occult backgrounds was Mr. Rollo Ahmed. He was an advanced practitioner of Yoga and made good use of it. Although a native of the West Indies he never wore an overcoat and used to go about London in the winter in a thin cotton suit. One night, when it was well below freezing, he arrived to dine with me. He had no gloves but his hands were as warm as toast.
Rollo Ahmed was deeply versed in magical lore and possessed the gift of explaining it with great lucidity. From him I learnt much of the theory of the Black Art. Briefly it may be defined as a system of short cuts to obtaining Power.
Anyone can say prayers, or think evil. God will give new strength and fortitude in answer to prayer. The Devil will give strength and resolution actually to perform the evil deed contemplated. However, the human brain resembles a radio set. It needs tuning in to get the best results.
In very early times ways were discovered of 'tuning in' more rapidly. The holy used fasting and mortification of the flesh; the unholy gross indulgence and sexual depravity. Hence the wild orgies which are a main feature of every Satanic gathering - both ancient and modern. It was also found that contact could be more swiftly achieved by the use of certain material aids. For example, the Clairvoyant does not actually see things in the crystal. It is a device to induce self- hypnotism and turn the mind inward so that it can pick up occult vibrations. To achieve this state practitioners of the Black Art consume potions composed of the vilest secretions of the human body. The Mau Mau do this; so, too, do the depraved followers of the Devil's cult who still live in our midst. Such acts may be compared to the ringing of a bell which summons a supernatural Power.
SUPERNATURAL is simply a word to express that which lies beyond our comprehension, and MAGIC the procuring of a result normally regarded as impossible by the accepted 'LAWS' of cause and effect. In the MATERIAL sphere the MAGIC of yesterday becomes the SCIENCE of today; but there remain innumerable NATURAL LAWS which are not yet generally understood. That applies particularly to the ability of certain humans to call upon forces of a SPIRITUAL nature; and since all spiritual power emanates from either God or the Devil those who employ them become priests and priestesses of either Good or Evil.
The good 'priest' uses supernatural power for unselfish ends; and the most common forms of his activities are 'paintaking' and faith healing. A recent inquiry by the British Medical Association has revealed that this type of White Magic is widely practised all over Britain. The investigators admit that warts can be charmed away, and can offer no explanation for that. Concerning more important cures, brought about by prolonged prayer, their report states:
'In the Committee's opinion it is probably better to acknowledge that the cures are at present inexplicable on scientific grounds.' In this connection I had first-hand knowledge of an extraordinary happening while staying with my sister-in-law in South Africa. Her old negro cook, Maria, complained of acute pains in the breast and displayed to her an ugly tumour. Maria was at once taken down to the hospital. After examining her, the doctor put her in the waiting-room then, just outside its door, told my sister-in-law that the tumour was an advanced cancer and that it must be cut out without delay. An hour later he telephoned to ask where Maria was. She had disappeared. Ten days later she returned with not a trace of the tumour. When asked for an explanation she said: 'I hears what that white doctor says to you, Missis, 'bout cuttin' me up. I's scared, so I slips off back to ma Kraal. The black doctor, he throws the bones for me and I's well again now.'
Another supernatural potential of the human mind which has now been recognized by the medical profession is Hypnotism. Yet no doctor can explain how it is possible for a subject to be made so iron rigid that his neck can be placed on one chair-back, his feet on another, and the hypnotist be able to kneel on the subject's stomach without his body even bending. .
The French psychologist, Pierre Janet, has even succeeded in hypnotising a patient at a distance of over a mile, at a time known only to the experimenters. That brings us to Mental Telepathy, of which countless people have had personal experience. Such happenings used to be put down to coincidence; but a few years ago Dr. Soal, by infinitely patient and prolonged tests, proved the case for telepathy conclusively. And Water Divining - a common and valuable practice - what explanation can science give for that?
Turning to more sensational manifestations of the supernatural, many people have been saved from death by warnings of an occult nature. One of the most intriguing is that which was vouched for by the late Lord Dufferin and Ava.
While staying in a house in Ireland, one night before getting into bed he looked out of the window. Below him in the bright moonlight he saw a man carrying a coffin. The man looked up; his face was striking and most unpleasant. Next morning no one in the house could offer any explanation of this extraordinary occurrence. Years later, Lord Dufferin was in Paris. He was about to enter an already crowded hotel lift. Suddenly he recognized the face of the lift attendant as that of the ghoul with the coffin. Startled, he stepped back. The man slammed the lift gates and up went the lift. At the third floor the cable broke. It crashed to the basement and everyone in it, including the lift man, was killed.
Many people will swear to having seen a ghost; but proof of the actual materialization of a spirit is very difficult to obtain. Personally, I am prepared to take the word of that great seeker after Truth, Harry Price. He carried out countless tests of reported psychic phenomena and ruthlessly exposed scores of fake mediums; but he told me once that there could be no possible explanation, other than a supernatural one, for the appearances of Rosalie.
Every conceivable check to prevent fraud was taken. Yet on using his luminous plaque he saw this little naked girl standing in front of him; and having felt her all over would have sworn - but for the low temperature of her flesh - to her being a living child.
It was Harry Price who told me of a strange haunting in Sussex. One bedroom in this old house was so badly haunted that even the most sceptical visitors woke in it to find themselves being strangled; and any food left in a semi-basement room became putrid within a few hours. An exorcist was called in. The exorcism was carried out just before dawn in the bedroom. A ball, seemingly composed of black smoke and about the size of a football, appeared, rolled downstairs, out through the window of the semi-basement room and across the lawn to disappear in a small lake. The lake was later dredged and no less than three skeletons were brought up from it.
The Reverend Montague Summers told me of an exorcism he had performed in Ireland. He was called to a farmer's wife who, it was said, was possessed by an evil spirit. He arrived in the evening. On the table in the living room the remains of a cold leg of mutton had already been placed for supper; the woman was in the same room. At the sight of a priest she became so violent that she had to be held down. As he sprinkled the Holy Water on her and commanded the demon to come forth, a small cloud of black smoke issued from her foam-flecked mouth. It went straight into the cold mutton, and within a few minutes everyone present saw that the meat was alive with maggots.
Few men had more knowledge of the Occult than Montague Summers, and his books upon Witchcraft and Were wolves are classics. But he was, to say the least of it, a curious character. Rumour has it that he was not, in fact, a priest.
My wife and I went to stay at his house for a weekend. On the ceiling of our bedroom we found a score of enormous spiders. When I mentioned this, he replied only, 'I like spiders'; and in his garden my wife came upon the biggest toad she has ever seen. He tried to sell me a rare book. When I refused to buy it, I have never seen such malefic anger come into the eyes of any man. We made an excuse to leave on Sunday morning. .
With his long silver locks and, normally, benign expression, he looked like a Restoration Bishop. Years later I used his physical appearance for Canon Copely-Syle in To the Devil - a Daughter. For that I had a precedent, as in Mr. Somerset Maugham's early book The Magician the sorcerer, Hado, bears a striking resemblance to Aleister Crowley. Mentioning books reminds me of A. E. W. Mason's Prisoner in the Opal. In it, he rightly associates the presence of the most powerful evil entities with intense cold. Dante's lowest circle in Hell was formed of ice.
I do not regard myself as psychic but I have once felt that terrifying chill. I was building a shack by moonlight in an old walled garden behind the Somme battlefield. It came upon me without rhyme or reason. I knew that something incredibly evil was watching me from behind - and it had suddenly become very cold. After a minute that seemed an eternity I panicked and fled in abject terror.
All this adds up to the fact that one cannot laugh off the Supernatural, and that like everything else in the Universe it is governed by definite laws. To utilise those laws for personal ends is to practise the Black Art. And it is still practised in England today. One of the doctors who gave evidence before the B.M.A. Committee of Inquiry into faith healing stated that Black as well as White Magic is still widely practised in Devonshire; and that among his patients he had had one definite death caused by Witchcraft. That is something to give pause for thought to those readers who will this summer be motoring through Devon's lovely lanes.

Many see the terror drills so called 'coincidence' and particularly
the occult location of Tavistock square as proof of the NWO/secret
government's hand.
The event's aim is to create a clearer understanding of it and
hopefully halt some of the stranger theories that have arisen, using

Tony Gosling - Bilderberg.org
I have been contacted today by the producer of the BBC2 Conspiracy
Files 7/7 London Bombings programme due to be broadcast in about four
weeks' time.
BBC lawyers have, it seems, advised that the entire subject of 7/7 is
'sub-judice' under the terms of the Contempt of Court Act. The 7/7
related Kingston trial rolling on and on seems to be the ostensible
cause.
This is, of course, nonsense and there is no guarantee the programme
can EVER be broadcast under this legal advice.
The Contempt of Court Act, in fact, doesn't say that nothing can be
broadcast. Simply that it must be balanced and this documentary cannot
be balanced only because the police and government departments have
refused to co-operate. Neither is this indefinite length Kingston
court case within the scope of the act.
I am absolutely disgusted with this feeble legal advice from dodgy
lawyers, and the travesty of justice it represents. In a way I feel
vindicated in participating in the programme since there is clearly a
powerful dark force efort to stop the facts of 7/7 being made known to
the public.
Please help publicise this diabolical decision by encouraging people
to send emails to their friends to watch any or all of the five
documentaries already made on the internet about the likely innocence
of the 4 so-called bombers and officialdom's (particularly Scotland
Yard's) complicity in the 7/7 attacks. I've listed them here in my

Secret Bilderberg Agenda
to Microchip Americans Leaked microchip you in name of fighting terrorism
By Paul Joseph Watson
Sources from inside the 2008 Bilderberg meeting have leaked the
details of what elitists were discussing in Chantilly Virginia last
week and the talking points were ominous - a plan to microchip
Americans under the pretext of fighting terrorist groups which will be
identified as blonde haired, blue eyed westerners.
Veteran Bilderberg sleuth Jim Tucker relies on sources who regularly
attend Bilderberg as aides and assistants but who are not Bilderberg
members themselves. The information they provided this year is bone-
chilling for those who have tracked the development of the plan to
make the general public consider implanted microchips as a convenience
as routine as credit cards.
"Under the heading of resisting terrorism there were points made about
how the terrorist organizations are recruiting people who do not look
like terrorists - blonde, blue eyed boys - they're searching hard for
those types to become the new mad bombers," said Tucker.
As we have documented, the blue eyed blonde haired Al-Qaeda line is a
familiar talking point that has been pushed on Fox News and within
other Neo-Con circles in an attempt to turn the anti-terror apparatus
around to target dissidents, protesters and the American people in
general.
Ominously, Tucker's source also told him that Bilderberg were
discussing the microchipping of humans on a mass scale, which would be
introduced under the pretext of fighting terrorism whereby the "good
guys" would be allowed to travel freely from airports so long as their
microchip could be scanned and the information stored in a database.
Tucker said the idea was also sold on the basis that it would help
hospital staff treat a patient in an emergency situation because a
scan of the chip would provide instantaneous access to health
details.
Tucker underscored that Bilderberg were talking about subdermally
implanted chips and not merely RFID chips contained in clothing. The
discussion took place in a main conference hall and was part of the
agenda, not an off-hand remark in the hotel bar.
Such a bizarre concept may seem unbelievable to some, but over the
last ten years there have been dozens of examples of people accepting
implanted chips for a variety of different reasons.
In 2004, Mexico's attorney general and 160 of his office staff were
implanted with tracker chips to control access to to secure areas of
their headquarters.
The Baja Beach Club in Barcelona and other nightclubs around the world
are already offering implantable chips to customers who want to pay
for drinks with the wave of a hand and also get access to VIP areas of
the club lounge.
Bilderberg skeptical of attack on Iran
Tucker's source told him that Secretary of Defense Robert Gates did
attend Bilderberg despite him not appearing on the official list.
Tucker said that his sources told him Gates was in attendance to
present his case for war with Iran, but that the majority of
Bilderberg members were against an attack at this time.
"The Europeans were generally opposed to an invasion of Iran - Gates
made the regular war propaganda drill about how Iran is a nuclear
threat to everybody," said Tucker, adding that European Bilderbergers
made snide comments about where such nuclear weapons actually were
being kept and at one point joking that they were possibly "in Saddam
Hussein's tomb".
Despite Bilderberg opposition, Tucker said that the administration was
still considering an attack before Bush leaves office in January.
"At least 90 per cent of the Europeans oppose a war, probably closer
to 100 per cent," said Tucker, adding, "most of the Americans were
passive and deferential to the Secretary of Defense and Condoleezza
Rice's pitch in so far as Iran is concerned".
Tucker said that most Americans present at the meeting were opposed to
attacking Iran but dare not be as visible and loud in their opposition
as the Europeans.
Energy and oil prices
"One of the Bilderberg boys raised this question - should we put a lid
on the rise in oil prices, are we reaching the point of diminishing
returns," said Tucker, adding that Bilderberg noted how Americans were
trading in their SUV's in record numbers for small and more fuel
efficient cars and using more public transport to combat high gas
prices.
Tucker's source said that Bilderberg were predicting $5 for a gallon
of gas by the end of this summer and oil over $150 dollars a barrel,
but that this was a ceiling and oil prices would probably begin to
decline thereafter because they thought the acceleration had happened
too quickly.
As we previously reported, Bilderberg called for oil prices to soar in
2005 when oil was a mere $40 a barrel.
During the conference in Germany, Henry Kissinger told his fellow
attendees that the elite had resolved to ensure that oil prices would
double over the course of the next 12-24 months, which is exactly what
happened.
During their 2006 meeting in Ottawa Canada, Bilderberg agreed to push
for $105 a barrel before the end of 2008. With that target having been
smashed months ago, the acceleration towards $150 is outstripping even
Bilderberg's goal, which is why the elitists expressed a desire to
cool prices at least in the short term.
Just two days after he left Bilderberg, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke,
George W. Bush and others expressed support for a strong dollar and
Bernanke hinted that interest rates could rise, which immediately
caused oil prices to drop in line with Bilderberg's consensus.

Spiritual Warfare - Christian activists' Kingdom toolkit
July 2008 - Tony Gosling
The physical battle for land and the world's resources, World War III
is already raging. But a more important covert spiritual battle is
being fought for the hearts and minds of Western people to get them to
support undefined foreign wars. The fact that a World War has begun is
being kept from the Western public and much of the military too.* This
is the first World War in which Britain and its allies, the US and
Israel, has been the illegal originator, the aggressor. The so-called
'War On Terror' is supposed to have been founded on retribution for
the attacks of September 11th 2001. Like Orwell's vision in 1984 it is
due to go on indefinitely until everyone who opposes with force
government corruption and privatised military forces is either killed
or incarcerated by witting or unwitting agents of the New World Order,
an invisible occult world government acting behind the scenes.
Like the 7th July 2005 'terror' attacks on London no properly
conducted enquiry has taken place into 9/11. In this climate of
official lies God fearing Christians, Muslims and Jews are standing
together across the world to expose the official lies and spin and to
fearlessly stand up for the truth. We have reached a situation where
none of the government's official security systems can be relied upon.
Police, Military Intelligence, Home office, Ministers and cabinet are
all made up of such weak-minded people that large parts of these
institutions can no longer be trusted by the people whose taxes pay
for them.
Two evil, totalitarian, criminal regimes are Britain's closes allies:
The USA and Israel are both hell bent on regional and global
domination their strategy is as much unending death as they can get
away with, ie still turn in a good profit. If occultic, ultimately a
satanic network I suggest.
New World Order (NWO) Modus Operandi, an invisible world government
Dennis Wheatley, writing under the shadow of the Nazi Blitz of London
in 1941, identified a New World Order which George Bush Senior and
Junior, and Both Tony Blair and Gordon Brown appear to have
'rediscovered'. It is an expression originating with the Adolf Hitler
and The Nazi party.
Spoken by Wheatley's protagonist Monseigneur le Duc de Richleau,
Knight of the Most Exalted Order of the Golden Fleece. The Duc is
addressing his friends Simon Aron, Marie Lou, Rex Van Ryn and Richard
Eaton who he's just helped rescue from a Nazi-Voodoo priest who has
been remote viewing Britain's vital Atlantic convoy routes:
…"Whether or not Hitler and Mussolini themselves are great masters of
Black Magic, nobody can possibly contest that it is through such
ambitious and unscrupulous men, German, Italian and Japanese, that the
Powers of Darkness are working and in recent years have acquired such
a terrifying increase of strength upon our earth.
"The New World Order which they wish to bring about is but another
name for Hell. If through them Evil prevailed, every man and woman of
every race and colour would finally be enslaved, from the cradle to
the grave. They would be brought up to worship might instead of right
and would be taught to condone, or even praise, murder, torture and
the suppression of all liberty as 'necessary' to the welfare of 'the
State'.
"Incontestable proof of that has already been given us by the way in
which the young Nazi-educated Germans have behaved in Poland,
Czechoslovakia, Norway, Holland, Belgium and France. They butchered
old men, women and children who did not even seek to oppose them. That
was part of the Plan, and they obeyed the order to commit these
murders in cold blood without a single recorded instance of any
protest against them by officers or men. Seven years of the
Totalitarian poison has been enough for the Evil to grip five million
German youths and with it their hearts have gone cold and stony. If
they triumph, within seventy years such words as justice, toleration,
freedom and compassion will have ceased to have a place in the
vocabularies of the races of mankind.
"In the New World Order all family life will be at an end, except for
the conquerors, and only the worst elements, spiritually, will be
allowed to procreate fresh generations to populate a world divided
into masters and slaves. The right to homes and children of their own
would be reserved to the Overlords; the rest would be herded into
barracks and reduced to the level of robots without the right to read
or speak or even think for themselves. There could be no revolt,
because every officer, priest, deputy, editor, magistrate, writer and
other leader of free thought and action in the conquered countries
would already have been executed by the firing-squads; and leaderless
herds cannot prevail against tanks, tear-gas, bombs and machine-guns.
"And unless men are free how can they progress upon the great
spiritual journey which all must make?
"This war is not for territory or gain or glory, but that Armageddon
which was prophesied of old. That is why all the Children of Light.
wherever they may be, captive or free, must hold on to their spiritual
integrity as never before and must stick at nothing, physically, in
the fight, lest the whole world fall under the domination of these
puppets who are animated by the Powers of Darkness."
As he ceased speaking they knew that although it would be many days
before their burns, weals and wounds were healed there had come into
their hearts a little glow of warmth. The Battle was still far from
being over, but they had done the thing which they had set out to do.
Their Victory was an episode no more-in the Titanic struggle that was
in progress, but the flame which animated their spirits was burning an
the brighter for it, and they were returning to fight on for the
England that they loved.
It seemed that the Duke guessed their thoughts, for he spoke again.
"As long as Britain stands the Powers of Darkness cannot prevail. On
Earth the Anglo-Saxon race is the last Guardian of the Light, and I
have an unshakable conviction that, come what may, our island will
prove the Bulwark of the World." **
But the concept of the destruction of democracy and the rights of
ordinary people world domination, has been developing for centuries.
The western capitalist world has taken people's rights away gradually
over the last 2000 years. With the arrival of the Romans money was
introduced and after the Norman invasion in 1066, beginning with the
Doomsday Book and leading on the the English Civil war the land has
been slowly stolen from under our feet. These were the first and two
most important instruments of privatisation. The overall plan being to
take away all private property rights for most people but to allow the
obedient NWO servants access to land and money. The NWO through their
previous incarnations the Knights Templar created enclosure acts which
removed the poor from the land, forcing them to work in the industrial
revolution factories and created the first mass urbanisation in the
world. The towns and cities in Britain, characterised by William
Blakes' Dark Satanic Mills, became little more than 'people farms'
where pre-Victorian workers were treated like slaves.
Freemasonry - common cause with witchcraft
An invisible government that controls North America and Europe would
be a force to be reckoned with and it is in these countries that
freemasonry is strongest. All God-fearing people need to understand
just how dangerous a 'society with secrets' in their own words could
be in the world today. When he came to power Adolf Hitler outlawed
Germany's Masonic lodges. This move was not because he was against
these occult practices, quite the contrary since through Theosophy and
the Thule Society he had been involved himself. Hitler understood that
it represented a powerful clandestine network that was a counter to
his own supremacy. And so it is today, a counterbalance to democracy.
That invisible government does exist and is centred around ex US
Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and his private military company
Kissinger Associates. Is Kissinger Associates the Western World's
global protection racket? The public, secretive face of this Western
Totalitarian and financial network is called Bilderberg and it is
organised by at least one trusted freemasonic servant of the elite in
North America and Western Europe. Andrew Palmer. Bilderberg was
created by Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands and the first meeting in
1954 took place in his own Hotel de Bilderberg in Oosterbeek in
Holland. In the run up to World War II Bernhard had willingly taken
the SS life-long vow of allegiance to Adolf Hitler required by those
who wanted to join the SS.
Freemasons actively recruit members from various walks of life, but
these professions such as the police, judiciary, media, solicitors,
senior civil servants, big business all have either or both of two
things in common: money and power. They represent a spiritual gangster
network and their religious philosophy of Deism is not compatible with
the Gospels, Torah or the Koran. Deism means simply 'God minus the
Bible'. In the lodge a form of 'mysticism' is taught, all masons have
to believe in a supreme being and an afterlife to join. God is
mentioned many times in the lodge but the underlying teachings of
Jesus Christ - or of Moses and Mohammed are brushed over. A mason's
loyalty is not to his community or to Jesus etc. but to his fellow
masons and to his lodge. Family, wife and children, take a back seat
in the heart of the mason who progresses up through 'degrees' as a
form of promotion in 'the craft'. Oaths of loyalty to the organisation
sworn and to the 'master' make freemasonry a religious cult, though
they officially deny this. Ultimately in the world of the freemason
mysticism can be interpreted to 'profane' outsiders as 'any rubbish
that sounds good', and whatever the Grand Master of World freemasonry
says, goes. In other words he 'is god'.
It's interesting that the freemasons' own nickname for their cult is
'the craft' this is also traditionally used by witches to
euphemistically refer to witchcraft. If only the similarity ended
there unfortunately it doesn't. Freemasonry not only mimics the
organisational structure of witchcraft as revealed by ex-witches it,
along with the mafia and oriental triads also uses the same initiation
ceremony. Initiation is a characteristic feature of cults and these
usually involve one form or another of ritual death.
Masonic lodges tend to meet formally only every three months or so and
begin with only the highest degree masons present. As the lodge
business progresses the lodge is 'opened' to masons of lower and lower
degrees until all members of the lodge are present after which the
lodge is closed and all members retire for toasts and a meal, often
singing of songs too. What is known as the 'festive board'.
Organisational structure of druids, black and white magic, wicca and
other occultists
The witchcraft coven is traditionally made up of thirteen members,
mimicking the number of Christ's apostles, Indeed mimicry of Christian
teaching is what characterises many occult practices including the use
of consecrated ground for rituals. Witchcraft can be broadly divided
into two. In white witchcraft only the good of self and others can be
pursued, a fine moral code, but it is unclear whether or not black
magicians, who are allowed to use magic to persue selfish ends, are
clandestine members of white witchcraft covens. It certainly seems
that black magic is at the core of witchcraft and white magic a more
socially acceptable 'outer portico' from which black witches can be
recruited.
Most who have had experience of Witchcraft then emerged as Christians
agree on some basic facts about the organisational structure of these
occult organisations.
Firstly there is the 'neophyte' phase. Where someone new to 'the
craft' is invited by an individual to join at 'arm's length'. Only one
proper witch will be known to the neophyte and various tests will be
performed on the neophyte by the witch with the witch reporting back
to his or her coven who then discuss the suitability or otherwise of
the neophyte to be initiated further.
This neophyte status in witchcraft is identical to that of the
'presbytery' degree in 'Illuminated' masonry, and much like the first
three degrees of Freemasonry (craft, fellowcraft and master mason)
where one can appear to progress in a limited fashion up the masonic
ladder but can, in reality, never get to become a full mason. What
these masons do not realise is that they are excluded from the central
business of the craft until they have reached the third degree or
higher.
Wicca is supposed to be the modern manifestation of Teutonic and Anglo-
Saxon magic. Nevertheless with modern druidic, wicca and similar
orders the history and real traditions have been sanitised and
remanufactured during the 20th Century to make them less distasteful
to impressionable modern people disillusioned with mainstream
religion.
White witchcraft or the 'right-hand path' is the practice of magic for
positive loving ends and author Dennis Wheatley was broadly
sympathetic to white magic's aims as one can see in his novel 'Strange
Conflict'. But many believe white magic to be an outer portico, a
recruiting ground for black magicians. White magicians eventually
learn that all the really powerful 'spells' will only work for a black
magician indicating, as the Bible explains, that the power of all
magic is demonic, white magic being used by demonic forces simply to
seduce human souls.
Meetings of satan's earthly disciples - esbats, sabbats and grand
sabbats
Many followers of the devil are mentally ill, they are in denial and
believe their god is still called lucifer. Get active. The Christian
has a duty to shine the light of love on satanic ceremonies. Pagan
rites are loosely based on the four ancient Egyptian mystery-religion
quarter days, that is the summer and winter solstices and spring and
autumn equinoxes. Dates which sometimes vary from year to year are
June 21st and December 22nd for the solstices and March 21st and
September 23rd for the equinoxes.
The satanic esbat is the weekly ritual gathering whereas satanic
sabbats take place at midnight on every full moon. In addition grand
sabbats take place four times a year on nights following February 2nd
(Candlemas), April 30th (Walpurgisnacht), August 1st (Lammas) and
October 31st (Halloween).
The witches sabbath occurs only once in seven years and the other
meetings are merely 'covens'. At the sabbaths the black mass is
performed which is a reversal and perversion of the catholic mass. The
black mass is performed between 11pm and midnight with the subsequent
drugged, drunken and debauched revellings continuing until dawn
The culmination of the black mass is the murderous 'sacrifice' of a
young child. Children, both dead and living, who are being secretly
brought up in the 'left-hand path' spectators at these ritualistic
orgies.
The answer in truth and faith from our Lord Jesus Christ
As has been foretold in Holy Scripture Jesus Christ, Yeshuah, the
Messiah's Church, his living body, will be the most steadfast entity
to stand against the violence and schemes of that old dragon the devil
called satan who will send false prophets and mean-spirited
illusionists to blind the people. This is already happening through
carefully crafted TV documentaries aimed at undermining faith. Those
for instance which assume Darwin's theory of Evolution has been proven
beyond any doubt.
Spiritually enslaved world - persuading us to give up our right to
land
The present world system, led mostly by English speaking Western NATO
nations, is occupied by a clandestine web of secularists, atheists and
occultists. People in political power who are ostensibly Christians or
Jews are essential to deflect criticism by the church and they often
hold high rank whilst secretly holding both Old and New Testament in
contempt.
The two main bonds of slavery which the occultists have over the years
used to enslave us are land and money. Once land was stolen from under
out feet using the lie of 'agricultural improvement' or enclosure all
evicted people became dependent on money for food and shelter, ie. to
survive. People have somehow been convinced that there is 'not enough
land to go round' when the earth is a free gift to mankind and
Britain's population of 60 million have about 60 million acres in
total on which to live, roughly an acre each. Once the right to
somewhere to live had been stripped from us the subsequent
manipulation of the money system by private goldsmiths and bankers for
private profit, including the modern manifestations of the world bank
IMF etc. has led most of the world's population to a situation of
economic slavery. Money has become not a convenient means of exchange
but a means of control and ownership by which the world's resources
are slowly being stolen from ordinary people, and individuals in
general, and owned by faceless corporations run by accountants which,
whilst classed in company law as having the rights of a person, are
immune in law for suffering resulting from corporate decisions.
The climate of revolution
All this has led to a climate whereby the possibility exists for
emancipation under Jesus Christ as king. Fakers are occupying many of
the key positions in the various churches. They follow the trends in
the Guardian Society pages rather than the example of Jesus. Allowing
enormous changes in the Church such as homosexual vicars and women
priests etc, is not the way Christ taught us. When Christ picked his
disciples he chose only men. We should follow his example rather than
give in to worldly calls for 'equality'.
The Christian revolution
With all meetings beginning with a meal at which communion is taken,
with
The Friends of God
1. Eat the lamb - communion whenever taking wine or bread with a
shared meal "... who taketh away the sins of the world"

World War III - Kissinger’s Final Chantilly Gambit
Tony Gosling - Sun08Jun08
BRISTOL, UK. Quickly, before they leave, surround the Westfields
Marriott. Arrest and question them all. Make it clear that justice
will be done, that the people and authorities of Europe and North
America have decided they will not get their World War.
Henry Kissinger feels more confident in DC than if this meeting had
taken place in Europe. It's impossible now to pretend that Bilderberg
is anything more or less than an expansion of the US sphere of
influence agreed by Churchill, Stalin and Roosevelt at Yalta. As boss
of Kissinger Associates he is he brains behind the largest and most
brazen protection racket the world has ever seen. And he has form. The
man who ordered the assassination of democratically elected President
Allende of Chile in 1975, leading to one of the most terrible chapters
in the post Nazi annals of human rights abuses. Then there is his
bloody coups in Indonesia, the Turkish invasion of Cyprus, his friends
in Saudi Arabia. Wherever mass slaughter and civilisation on the run
so Kissinger is there being treated as royalty.
But world respect for the Israeli Defence Force (IDF) has sunk to an
all time low. Quite apart from their close association through AIPAC
and other Israeli far right lobby groups with the apartheid and
genocide now taking place in Palestine. They have ignored the post-
Hitler UN Charter since 1967 with a promise that they must police the
occupied territories to protect their homeland. Instead they have
expanded settlements into these lands and are now looking further
afield. They use the same chilling justification for breaking
international law as Adolf Hitler did in 1938 and 1939 when he annexed
Austria and Czechoslovakia.
The Mossad have their orders. They know that just one more carefully
placed bomb will be enough to ignite the wider Middle East war that
they so desire. With a few planted clues, and mentally degenerate
patsies, made to look like an Al Quaeeda attack, on the UK or in
Ireland they may yet get their way. Such an psycopathic attack, they
know, will serve as a false flag provocation which, through the
compliant British print and broadcast media, will create a window of
opportunity in the minds of the Western public and political classes
for the expansion of Israel that they so desire and the wider war to
justify the continued US presence in the Middle East.
These European invaders, with a twisted view of a Torah so many of
them never read, want to break the back of the Arab spirit. They will
fail and all that can proceed from this diseased and racist vision is
death and destruction. Which fits in with a higher agenda, create
chaos so we can step in as the saviours to provide the ‘order’.
Mossad are powerful in Britain because of a massive clandestine
network of Royal Arch freemasonry. A secret society within a secret
society with dark temples in which can be found two giant phalluses,
plush red carpets covered with the Zionist originated ‘Star of David’
and the flags of the twelve tribes of Israel. This extremist religious
cult network provides the establishment cover within the police and
armed forces for small cells of the IDF Engineer corps. These cells
are highly trained in the use of electronics, video and computer
equipment, detonators and explosives and their favourite cover is as
art students in colleges and Universities across Britain. They have
their orders.
In the next few hours Bilderberg participants including the European
Royals will be departing Chantilly having agreed to where and when the
‘final false flag’ attack will take place. Realistically the chance of
surrounding and arresting these war criminals is miniscule. If they
are not arrested then the Skull and Bones’ (please watch the excellent
YouTube interview with Professor Antony Sutton on the subject) poison
president George W. Bush and his hellish entourage will set off over
the next week or so to take their deathly orders to the European
Headquarters of the beguiled leaders and the agents of psychopathic
Zionism.
It is doubtful whether the wider Middle East conflagration, intended
to be the spark to ignite a much wider and open World War III, can be
avoided. More importantly can Britain’s forces maintain a neutral
stance and come out with peaceful, outspoken and strong leadership
against the IDF and US Military expansionism.
The Bible does provide some guiding thoughts on the subject and is
rather better than Nostradamus, so please see my Bilderberg website’s
printable guide to Revelation available by clicking on the picture of
the four horsemen on the front page of www.bilderberg.org
Only if the British forces can rid themselves of Royal Arch and
Zionist agents does Britain stand a hope of avoiding being dragged
into this wider war. That will mean sacking Field Marshal The Duke of
Kent, Field Marshall the Duke of Edinburgh and all their chivalric
order Zionist sympathisers in the Garter, Knights of Malta etc. who
desire economic ‘renewal’ through a crash and a drastic reduction in
the world’s population.
If we can purge such Quislings from our midst then we may be able,
with God’s help, to avoid the disaster, which some so desire, where
with every tick of the clock enough blood to fill a river is pouring
from the torn arteries of innocent civilians and the flower of North
America and Europe’s youth in the Middle East.

CHANTILLY, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The 56th Bilderberg Meeting will be
held in Chantilly, Virginia, USA 5 – 8 June 2008. The Conference will deal mainly with a nuclear free world, cyber terrorism, Africa, Russia, finance, protectionism, US-EU relations, Afghanistan and Pakistan, Islam and Iran. Approximately 140 participants will attend, of whom about two-thirds come from Europe and the balance from North America. About one-third is from government and politics, and two- thirds are from finance, industry, labor, education and communications. (plus the royal families of Europe but we don't mention them) The meeting is private in order to encourage frank and open discussion.
Bilderberg takes its name from the hotel in Holland, where the first meeting took place in May 1954. That pioneering meeting grew out of the concern expressed by leading citizens on both sides of the Atlantic that Western Europe and North America were not working together as closely as they should on common problems of critical importance. It was felt that regular, off-the-record discussions would help create a better understanding of the complex forces and major trends affecting Western nations in the difficult post-war period. The Cold War has now ended. But in practically all respects, there are more, not fewer, common problems - from trade to jobs, from monetary policy to investment, from ecological challenges to the task of promoting international security. It is hard to think of any major issue in either Europe or North America whose unilateral solution would not have repercussions for the other. Thus the concept of a European-American forum has not been overtaken by time. The dialogue between these two regions is still - even increasingly - critical.
What is unique about Bilderberg as a forum, is the broad cross-section of leading citizens that are assembled for nearly three days of informal and off-the-record discussion about topics of current concern especially in the fields of foreign affairs and the international economy; the strong feeling among participants that in view of the differing attitudes and experiences of the Western nations, there remains a clear need to further develop an understanding in which these concerns can be accommodated; the privacy of the meetings, which has no purpose other than to allow participants to speak their minds openly and freely. In short, Bilderberg is a small, flexible, informal and off-the-record international forum in which different viewpoints can be expressed and mutual understanding enhanced.
Bilderberg's only activity is its annual Conference. At the meetings, no resolutions are proposed, no votes taken, and no policy statements issued. Since 1954, fifty-five conferences have been held. The names of the participants are made available to the press. Participants are chosen for their experience, their knowledge, and their standing; all participants attend Bilderberg in a private and not an official capacity.
There will be no press conference. A list of participants is available by phone request at 703-818-3647 between 9am-5pm EDT June 6-7, 2008.

1 & 2 - Dutch Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende visits Washington DC
3. Iranians Arrest CIA Explosive/Chemical Terror Network
Hi all,
Some real hard evidence about Bilderberg 2008 this time.
Looks like the Athens meeting may not have been one 'maverick' editor but a false trail 'pandering' to our searches on the forum. Thanks to all at prisonplanet.com for drawing this to everyones' attention.
Most important thing is though, as Marek Tysis ponts out, that never before has the Dutch Embassy announced the Bilderberg conference ahead of the event. This exceptional move may indicate that there are people in the Dutch government, maybe even including the Dutch PM himself, who are not happy about the secrecy upon which Rockefeller, Kissinger and the other Bilderberg chiefs insist?
I have personally experienced the distaste with which some of the politicians treat Bilderberg Conferences seeing them as 'oppressive' and 'stifling'. They will oftern take any excuse to get out of the conference venue for a breath of fresh air, a drink in an ordinary bar and chat to journalists who are hanging out at bars near the entrance.
These are the people Bilderberg most needs to 'buy the Bilderberg line'.
After all these people have a gigantic plan for global economic meltdown or recovery - and who wants to be associated with that if it all kicks off? Like being in on the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914 without alerting the military powers in Austria- Hungary that could prevent it.
It's being discussed on the forum here (not Archduke Franz Ferdinand) Bilderberg 2008: Washington June 5-8? After apparent fake meeting in Greece?

http://www.wakeupfromyourslumber.com/node/6840
The Iranian Intelligence Ministry busted a CIA-backed terror group that was planning to bomb scientific, educational, and religious centers, and carry out assassinations, according to a report in the Tehran Times. The arrests come weeks after Ret. Gen. Thomas McInerney urged the U.S. to carry out terror bombings in Iran.
"The Intelligence Ministry on Saturday released details of the detection and dismantling of a terrorist network affiliated to the United States," reports the newspaper.
"The United States Central Intelligence Agency comprehensively supported the terrorist group by arming it, training its members, and sponsoring its inhumane activities in Iran, the Intelligence Ministry stated."
The attack on a religious center in Shiraz last month which killed thirteen people and wounded 190 was blamed on the same group and according to the report, "it also had plans to carry out similar attacks on the Tehran International Book Fair, the Russian Consulate in Gilan Province, oil pipelines in southern Iran, and other targets."...................

13May08 - Tony Gosling
Well the old tricksters did it this year. They evaded all our efforts to track them down to a precise date and venue. There has been a lot of Bilderberg searching activity on the forum ( https://217.72.179.7/members/www.bilderberg.org/phpBB2/ ) including examination of bilderbergers' schedules, checking of hotels but no 100% definite answer.
Whilst I had been displaying this at the top of the Bilderberg.org front page as a possible venue and date for a week or so Bilderberg researchers such as Marek Tysis, Jim Tucker and myself simply did not have enough hard facts to pin them down beforehand.
The trouble is that this year particularly all the key Bilderberg people have been keeping very quiet about their future plans. In past years they have been relatively open about where they were planning to be and it's then quite a simple matter to identify gaps in the schedules of, say the boss of the European Central Bank and the Queen of the Netherlands, that coincide.
Marek Tysis believed, rightly as it transpired, that it would be in Vouliagmeni, Greece in one of the first two weekends of May. What they were talking about we may never know. Let's hope at least SOMEBODY who realises that these people are where war and money meets and far too close to the Nazis (through Prince Bernhard and the occult connections particularly) has got some leaks.
What are they planning for us this year then? We might guess that Henry Kissinger has had problems with his War on Terror because nobody is believing it is anything other than a US, Israeli and British grab for empire. A continuation of Hitler's diseased dream of an occult empire to rival the extent of the old British Empire and Commonwealth and all the psychological pressure is now being piled on Gordon Brown who is not playing ball with the Bilderbergers' fascistic 'consensus'.
There is not a lot of doubt in my mind that the immense power that Bilderberg wields is ultimately satanic. One could pick a random homeless tramp on the streets of London to preside over such a conference you would get more common sense in his little finger than all the Bilderberg Steering committee have in their collective greedy bodies.
Maybe that is what is needed. A jubilee of renewal to remove these despots and their freemasonic underlings from the committees that select candidates for the political parties.
What seemed a real political hope in the UK, the Liberal Democrat Party has somehow got itself a City of London stooge, Nick Clegg, in charge now so has made itself unelectable just a the time when it could have swept to power because of voter hatred of both Labour and Tory parties.
Israel too is 'celebrating' 60 years of existence and as such 60 years of terrorism, horror and hatred of the arabs. The Jewish people don't want it but what can they do with a fanatical far right Zionist government there. Jews are in exactly the same bind as the rest of us. Democracy has been stealthily and deliberately undermined in Israel just as in the US and Britain and Europe by Secret Societies operating within the 'cover' of freemasonry.
The Beijing Olympics looming appears something like the Berlin Olympics of 1936. A derisory show of male and female machismo with a few who will be this year's Jesse Owens?
So Bilderberg may have been successful in stopping scrutiny of themselves this year, no participant list, nothing whatsoever has emerged. And that bodes extremely ill for the coming Summer and Autumn. Whatever bloodcurdling warstarting event, whether or not connected with the Beijing Olympics, and whether or not leading to a global crash which will make a few people very very rich, you can be sure they will be in the know. Which means that Bilderberg is culpable, there's a lot of bucks riding on this. That is why they do everything they can, with their limitless supply of money, to keep these meetings out of the public eye.
What we need of course is a united front such as that which has formed in South America, probably because they have been the subject of so much evil and illegal US interference. A united front based on a media free of racist Zionist moles and on an understanding of the true facts behind 9/11 which kicked off all this 'War on Resistance Fighters' madness. It really is as if the war is against the plucky partisans and leaders of the French Resistance to Nazi occupation.
So it doesn't take a lot of imagination, once you've joined the Nazi dots, to see where Henry Kissinger and Bilderberg are coming from. His present company, Kissinger Associates, is the biggest protection racket on the planet and the UN eats out of its hands, that means the UN Charter and the Geneva Conventions have been torn to pieces by these people, paving the way for mass slaughter and maybe a little more power. Kissinger gets kudos from his impunity and Rockefeller, Rothschild and his financial backers and other underground friends are egged on to further madness by our gullibility. Then their is their love of Eugenics, what more proof do we need? How much more can we forget?
They want a more subtly spun global version of what Hitler had in the early 1940s and they are not going to get it because the human spirit will not have it. But they are so greedy and determined, indeed psychopathic in their goal, that they would rather pull our whole beautiful God-given world down around our heads than allow us to be the free people we were made to be. The real solutions to the problem of wage slavery, poverty, are so simple as to be almost obvious. Land reform and money reform, putting land back into the hands of those who need it as a ree gift to mankind. Taking the power to issue money out of private corporate hands
Anyway, that'll do for now and here are a few more articles and youtube clips to get you up to speed...

In the US and Britain, there is a campaign to smear anybody who tries to describe the plight of the Palestinian people. It is an attempt to intimidate and silence – and to a large degree, it works. There is nobody these self-appointed spokesmen for Israel will not attack as anti-Jewish: liberal Jews, rabbis, even Holocaust survivors.
My own case isn't especially important, but it illustrates how the wider process of intimidation works. I have worked undercover at both the Finsbury Park mosque and among neo-Nazi Holocaust deniers to expose the Jew-hatred there; when I went on the Islam Channel to challenge the anti-Semitism of Islamists, I received a rash of death threats calling me "a Jew-lover", "a Zionist-homo pig" and more.
Ah, but wait. I have also reported from Gaza and the West Bank. Last week, I wrote an article that described how untreated sewage was being pumped from illegal Israeli settlements on to Palestinian land, contaminating their reservoirs. This isn't controversial. It has been documented by Friends of the Earth, and I have seen it with my own eyes.
The response? There was little attempt to dispute the facts I offered. Instead, some of the most high profile "pro-Israel" writers and media monitoring groups – including Honest Reporting and Camera – said I an anti-Jewish bigot akin to Joseph Goebbels and Mahmoud Ahmadinejadh, while Melanie Phillips even linked the stabbing of two Jewish people in North London to articles like mine. Vast numbers of e-mails came flooding in calling for me to be sacked..........

WALL STREET AND THE RISE OF HITLER: Stan Monteith interviews Anthony Sutton - 39 min - Jun 3, 2006
Unexplored Facets of Naziism Since the early 1920s unsubstantiated reports have circulated to the effect that not only German industrialists, but also Wall Street financiers, had some role — possibly a substantial role — in the rise of Hitler and Naziism. This book presents previously unpublished evidence, a great deal from files of the Nuremburg Military Tribunals, to support this hypothesis. However, the full impact and suggestiveness of the evidence cannot be found from reading this volume alone. Two previous books in this series, Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution1 and Wall Street and FDR,2 described the roles of the same firms, and often the same individuals and their fellow directors, hard at work manipulating and assisting the Bolshevik revolution in Russia in 1917, backing Franklin D. Roosevelt for President in the United States in 1933, as well as aiding the rise of Hitler in pre-war Germany. in brief, this book is part of a more extensive study of the rise of modern socialism and the corporate socialists. This politically active Wall Street group is more or less the same elitist circle known generally among Conservatives as the "Liberal Establishment," by liberals (for instance G. William Domhoff) as "the ruling class,"3 and by conspiratorial theorists Gary Allen4 and Dan Smoot5 as the "Insiders." But whatever we call this self-perpetuating elitist group, it is apparently fundamentally significant in the determination of world affairs, at a level far behind and above that of the elected politicians. The influence and work of this same group in the rise of Hitler and Nazi Germany is the topic of this book. This is an area of historical research almost totally unexplored by the academic world. It is an historical minefield for the unwary and the careless not aware of the intricacies of research procedures. The Soviets have long accused Wall Street bankers of backing international fascism, but their own record of historical accuracy hardly lends their accusations much credence in the West, and they do not of course criticize support of their own brand of fascism. This author falls into a different camp. Previously accused of being overly critical of Sovietism and domestic socialism, while ignoring Wall Street and the rise of Hitler, this book hopefully will redress an assumed and quite inaccurate philosophical imbalance and emphasize the real point at issue: Whatever you call the collectivist system — Soviet socialism, New Deal socialism, corporate socialism, or National socialism — it is the average citizen, the guy in the street, that ultimately loses out to the boys running the operation at the top. Each system in its own way is a system of plunder, an organizational device to get everyone living (or attempting to live) at the expense of everyone else, while the elitist leaders, the rulers and the politicians, scalp the cream off the top... read the whole book here http://www.reformed-theology.org/html/books/wall_street/index.html

Satan (The Illuminati still call him Lucifer) is the brightest and most intelligent of the heavenly host and because he is pure spirit he is indetructible. But he is only supported by one (the demonic) third of the spirit world.
In challenging an Illuminati agenda of lies it makes sense to spiritually tune in to the two-thirds majority (angels) and honour God (Yahweh) and his only son (Yeshuah or Jesus).
Rituals written by Adam Weishaupt in the Grand Orient lodges of freemasonry, Bavaria, Germany. Formally inaugurated in 1776.
(1) Abolition of ALL ordered national governments
(2) Abolition of inheritance
(3) Abolition of private property
(4) Abolition of patriotism
(5) Abolition of the family as the cell from which all civilisations have stemmed.
(6) Abolitions of all religions so that the Luciferian ideology of a totalitarian elite may be imposed on mankind.
(1) USE TEMPTATION TO ENTRAP
To use monetary and sex bribery to obtain control of people already occupying positions in high places in ALL governments and other fields of human endevour. Once fallen they were to be held in bondage by application of political and other forms of blackmail and threats of financial ruin, public exposure, and physical harm.
(2) GET THEM WHILE THEY'RE YOUNG
Illuminati on the faculties of colleges and universities were to recommend students belonging to well-bred families for special training in internationalism. They were to be at first persuaded and then convinced that men of special ability and brains had the RIGHT to rule those less gifted. Three special Illuminati schools are located at Gordonstoun in Scotland; Salem in Germany; and Anavryta in Greece.
(3) TERMINATOR AGENTS
Blackmailed Illuminati puppets and Illuminati educated students were to be used as agents and placed behind the scenes of ALL governments as 'experts' and 'specialists' so they could advise the top executives to adopt policies which would bring about the ultimate destruction of the religions they werre elected or appointed to serve.
(4) TO OWN PUBLIC DISCOURSE
The Illuminati were to obtain control of the press and all other agencies which distribute information to the public. News was to be slanted so that the public would get behind Illuminati puppets and come to believe in a One World Government as the only solution to the world's problems.

“The great strength of our Order lies in its concealment: let it never appear in any place in its own name, but always covered by another name, and another occupation. None is fitter than the three lower degrees of Free Masonry; the public is accustomed to it, expect little from it, and therefore takes little notice of it.
"Next to this, the form of a learned or literary society is best suited to our purpose, and had Free Masonry not existed, this cover would have been employed; and it may be much more than a cover, it may be a powerful engine in our hands. By establishing reading societies, and subscription libraries… we may turn the public mind which way we will.
In like manner we must try to obtain an influence in… all offices which have any effect, either in forming, or in managing, or even in directing the mind of man.”

Tribulation events foreseen by the apostle John in Revelation. Quoting extra material from Timothy R. Phillips in the End Times Bible, World Publishing.
Whether or not you believe apostle and gospel author John's roller-coaster Revelation is God-inspired you can be sure of one thing: fanatical Christian Right, war-hungry leaders & other fakers are looking at it closely, so that they can compare their own plans and reinterpret the shocking events of Revelation. They plan to use the media to spin themselves as the good guys. See un-Biblical, racist 'Zionism' for example.
Four events that signal the beginning of the end of the world
In the first century, the apostle John's day, the noise of galloping horses' hooves hitting the ground inspired fear. It was the ominous sound of an enemy's approach. So when John described four horsemen who would begin the process of unleashing judgement (tribulation) on the earth, the familiar but awful sound of approaching horses would have been ringing in his readers' ears. In Revelation 6, John describes them. The first rides a dazzling white horse; the second, a fiery red horse; the third, a black horse; and the fourth, a deathly pale horse. Each one has a mission related to the Passover lamb's (Jesus') breaking of the first four seals of judgement up in heaven.
During the Tribulation two pairs of opposing human figures are set to feature prominently in world affairs. The antichrist (eg. Revelation 11:7 and 13:3) and false prophet (Revelation 16:13; 19:19-20; 20:10), satan's political and spiritual world puppets. Opposing them will be the two witnesses of God (Revelation 11:3).
Many will cry out against God - they do not or will not understand that the anguish of the tribulation is necessary to forever banish sin and evil from the world
From Gateway to Hell, Hutchinson, 1970
Chapter 7 - The Barbecue
......As the journalist drove them through the streets of the city, Richard asked him: 'While doing your job. have you ever come across any evidence that there are Satanist gatherings in Santiago?'
The Scottish-educated Chilean laughed. 'Good gracious. no, Mr Eaton. As in every city there are a few old crones who are credited with practising witchcraft, but I've never heard of their getting together to hold a Sabbat. What with their radios, motor-cycles and self-service stores, most of the people who live in Santiago are much too modern-minded to believe in that sort of thing.'
'That applies to most other countries now,' Richard replied.
But the fact remains that Satanism is still practised in them.'
'If you say so, Señor. I will take your word for it. But any educated person would now look on believing in the Devil as nonsense.'
'Of course they would if they think of the Devil as people did in the Middle Ages: a terrifying apparition with horns, hooves and a spiked tail. But that was only a form his emissaries took as suitable to the beliefs of the period. Now that people have so many things, other than religion. to occupy their minds, they naturally give little thought to the powers of good and evil. That is because they are not tuned in to such influences. But it does not mean that the Devil no longer exists.'
To Richard's surprise McTavish replied. 'If not by nation-ality, by heredity and education I'm a down-to-earth Scot. I can accept that the Devil is still stooging round tempting people with this an' that in exchange for their immortal souls.'
'May I ask if you are a Christian?'
'Aye, I'm certainly that.'
'Then, if you believe in God, you cannot logically disbelieve in the Devi1, because he was part of the original Creation. What is more, when Lucifer was cast out of Heaven. God gave him this world as his province. That is made abundantly clear in the New Testament, in the passage where Satan took Jesus Christ up into a high place, showed him all the cities and the fertile valleys and said, "All this will I give to Thee if Thou wilt bow down to me." He couldn't have offered something that wasn't his to give.'
'I suppose that is so.'
'It certainly is. And it's a great mistake to imagine that the Devil went out of business with the coming of the scientific age. He simply went underground, and adapted his methods to modem conditions. 'One of his names is "Lord of Misrule", and his object is to destroy all law and order among mankind. What could do that more effectively than the creation of wars, in which countless thousands of people legally murder one another, and there follows widespread. arson, pillage, rape and anarchy? In the present century, the Devil has brought about two world wars and a score of minor ones, by bemusing the minds of statesmen, and about the best interests of their peoples; so it seems to me that he has surpassed himself.'
'Am I right, Señor, in thinking you have formed the idea that these parties given by Glasshill are some form of Sabbat'?'
Suddenly it struck Richard that, should that prove the case, it would be just as well to keep McTavish in ignorance of the fact. Although Don Caesar had banned any account of what they found out being published, McTavish might, if the story had the making of a juicy scandal, sell it to a friend for publi-cation in another paper. After a moment, he replied, 'It's just possible; but I doubt it. Otherwise, surely you or one of your colleagues would have picked up some rumour about Satanic rites being practised in Santiago.'............
Have you ever wondered what the origin of the phrase 'New World Order' is?
Earliest source I can find is from 1941. THis is the first time this quotation has ever been posted on the web. I just checked. Seems pretty clear to me, by New World Order' Wheatley means the central objective of Nazi political control. Which by no means died in 1944.
Thankfully, though these C21 Nazi control freaks are convinced their diabolical plan is possible, they can and will never achieve it. They may rather burn the world to the ground trying, and failing.
Closing paragraphs of
STRANGE CONFLICT by Dennis Wheatley
First published by Hutchinson, 1941
From Chapter XXII - THE GREAT GOD PAN
Spoken by Wheatley's protagonist Monseigneur le Duc de Richleau, Knight of the Most Exalted Order of the Golden Fleece. The Duc is addressing his friends Simon Aron, Marie Lou, Rex Van Ryn and Richard Eaton who he's just helped rescue from a Nazi-Voodoo priest who has been remote viewing Britain's vital Atlantic convoy routes:
…"Whether or not Hitler and Mussolini themselves are great masters of Black Magic, nobody can possibly contest that it is through such ambitious and unscrupulous men, German, Italian and Japanese, that the Powers of Darkness are working and in recent years have acquired such a terrifying increase of strength upon our earth.
"The New World Order which they wish to bring about is but another name for Hell. If through them Evil prevailed, every man and woman of every race and colour would finally be enslaved, from the cradle to the grave. They would be brought up to worship might instead of right and would be taught to condone, or even praise, murder, torture and the suppression of all liberty as 'necessary' to the welfare of 'the State'.
"Incontestable proof of that has already been given us by the way in which the young Nazi-educated Germans have behaved in Poland, Czechoslovakia, Norway, Holland, Belgium and France. They butchered old men, women and children who did not even seek to oppose them. That was part of the Plan, and they obeyed the order to commit these murders in cold blood without a single recorded instance of any protest against them by officers or men. Seven years of the Totalitarian poison has been enough for the Evil to grip five million German youths and with it their hearts have gone cold and stony. If they triumph, within seventy years such words as justice, toleration, freedom and compassion will have ceased to have a place in the vocabularies of the races of mankind.
"In the New World Order all family life will be at an end, except for the conquerors, and only the worst elements, spiritually, will be allowed to procreate fresh generations to populate a world divided into masters and slaves. The right to homes and children of their own would be reserved to the Overlords; the rest would be herded into barracks and reduced to the level of robots without the right to read or speak or even think for themselves. There could be no revolt, because every officer, priest, deputy, editor, magistrate, writer and other leader of free thought and action in the conquered countries would already have been executed by the firing-squads; and leaderless herds cannot prevail against tanks, tear-gas, bombs and machine-guns.
"And unless men are free how can they progress upon the great spiritual journey which all must make?
"This war is not for territory or gain or glory, but that Armageddon which was prophesied of old. That is why all the Children of Light. wherever they may be, captive or free, must hold on to their spiritual integrity as never before and must stick at nothing, physically, in the fight, lest the whole world fall under the domination of these puppets who are animated by the Powers of Darkness."
As he ceased speaking they knew that although it would be many days before their burns, weals and wounds were healed there had come into their hearts a little glow of warmth. The Battle was still far from being over, but they had done the thing which they had set out to do. Their Victory was an episode¬ no more-in the Titanic struggle that was in progress, but the flame which animated their spirits was burning an the brighter for it, and they were returning to fight on for the England that they loved.
It seemed that the Duke guessed their thoughts, for he spoke again. "As long as Britain stands the Powers of Darkness cannot prevail. On Earth the Anglo-Saxon race is the last Guardian of the Light, and I have an unshakable conviction that, come what may, our island will prove the Bulwark of the World."
Let's hope he is as right about 21st Century Britain as he was about 1940s Britain eh!?

Nazi black magic and the anti-christ order
Heinrich Himmler, whose arrest as a traitor Hitler had ordered on 28 April 1945 for negotiating with the Allies, was captured by a British patrol on 23 May. A few hours later he killed himself with cyanide, and, dying as Reichsführer-S.S., set his final seal upon the destruction of the world's most sinister order, which the Third Reich's military defeat had already inflicted.
Hitler had sown seeds of the deepest hatred between Nazis and Communists in his teaching and in the cruelty and mass murder he had launched in Russia. Now it was the turn of the Soviets. Nazism reached its end in a Berlin turned into a battleground of unparalleled violence, fire and brutality as the Soviet forces dealt blows of destruc-tion and revenge. It was as if the Satanic essence of Nazism shone through the flames and the ruins.
From 20 November 1945 to 1 October 1946 the Nuremberg International Tribunal tried 24 members of the Nazi hierarchy as war criminals, accusing them of crimes 'against Peace, War Crimes and Crimes against Humanity...' Von Papen, Schacht ,and Hans Fritsche were acquitted. Twelve were sentenced to death, Bormann in his absence. Goering poisoned himself shortly before he was due to be executed. Ribbentrop, Streicher, Keitel, Kaltenbrunner, Frank, Frick, Jodl, Rosenberg, Sauckel and Seyss-Inquart were hanged. Von Schirach and Speer were sentenced to 20 years, von Neurath to 15 and Admiral Doenitz to 10 years. Lesser lights, such as obscure S.S. murderers, were tried before the various Allied Military Tribunals.
Many Nazis thus paid with their lives for the misery and death they unleashed upon the world in seeking to clamp their creed of hatred and domination upon its peoples.
Can the mystery of the evil of Nazism be explained? Was there a Satanic nucleus at the heart of it? One inter-pretation of its nature that should be mentioned is the link between Nazism and the alleged attachment to black magic and occultism of Hitler and his inner circle, in-cluding Goering, Himmler, Goebbels, Ley and, in the early days, Dietrich Eckart and Professor Karl Haushofer. Hitler, according to what may seem to many people a far-fetched belief, was the medium through whom contact was made with supernatural powers of evil. Hermann Rauschning, who observed Hitler with a cold and analytical eye, declares that he was a medium, 'possessed by forces outside himself - almost demoniacal forces'. Rudolf Olden, political editor of the Berliner Tageblatt in the days of Nazism's rise to power, remarked how the overwhelming, almost superhuman Niagara of words that poured forth during Hitler's speeches sometimes reached a climax during which he literally 'spoke in tongues' and seemed possessed. André François-Poncet, French Ambassador to Berlin, also referred to this apparent demoniacal possession.
Hitler's mediumistic powers supposedly provided the link with Satanic forces which spoke through him and led to the black magic and occult practices in the inner circle of Nazi leaders.
Rauschning also reports in Hitler Speaks a warning given to Hitler by a percipient woman in his circle, one of the few who dared to speak forthrightly to him. 'My Fuhrer, do not touch black magic,' she said. 'As yet both white and black magic are open to you. But once you have embarked upon black magic it will dominate your destiny. It will hold you captive. Don't choose the quick and easy successes. 'There lies before you the power over a realm of pure spirits. Do not allow yourself to be led away from your true path by earth-bound spirits which will rob you of creative power.'
Apparently Hitler disregarded the warning and was dominated by the evil forces, who, bribing him with early successes, forced him along the path of their own choosing towards an inferno which destroyed him, split Germany and impoverished Europe and Britain for two decades.
To believe this theory one must suspend rational judge-ment, but are there not in any case fields of human experi-ence which it cannot explain? And does not this theory of Hitler being dominated by evil supernatural forces throw light for the first time on the reason for Auschwitz, Treb-linka, the deaths of six million Jews, the plan to murder 33 million of the Slav population of Russia, the readiness to sacrifice three or four million of Germany's young man-hood in war and, finally, the long-term aim, reported by Fabian von Schlabendorff, for the total and permanent destruction of Christianity throughout the world?
In Ernst Röhm's expressive phrase, the Nazis were out to lift the world off its hinges, to destroy the power both of the proletariat and the middle classes and to found a new order of society to accord with the commands of the demonic voices which spoke through Hitler. 'I will tell you a secret,' he told Rauschning. 'I am founding an Order... In my Ordensburgen there will stand as a statue for wor-ship the figure of the magnificent, self-ordaining God--Man...' Hitler at this point checked himself with the remark that there were matters of which even he must not permit himself to speak.
Until more research has been devoted to the issue of Hitler's link with supernatural forces the subject must remain a closed book. Perhaps we should content ourselves with the words of General von dem Bach-Zelewski, at the Nuremberg International Tribunal: 'You will never know the whole truth.'

' It has been said that, as a young man, Winston Churchill was a member of the Illuminati of Adam Weishaupt. In view of his tirelessly inquiring mind, it would not be very surprising if that were so.'
'Hitler once confided to Rauschnig that he was founding a secret order at the second stage of which a man-god would be worshipped throughout the world'
…The French and Russian revolutions were among the greatest upheavals in modern history. During them many million people lost their lives, and scores of millions more had loved ones killed or were reduced to beggary. One of Satan's titles is Lord of Misrule. No circumstances could have better served his purpose.
It has been said that, as a young man, Winston Churchill was a member of the Illuminati of Adam Weishaupt. In view of his tirelessly inquiring mind, it would not be very surprising if that were so. But one is reminded of the saying 'A man who at the age of twenty is not a Communist has no heart; if he is still a Communist at the age of thirty, he has no head.'
Of one thing I feel positive. During the war Churchill had no truck with occultism of any kind. For three years it was my good fortune, as a member of the Joint Planning Staff of the War. Cabinet and therefore one of Churchill's staff officers, to work in the fortress basement under Whitehall, from which the war was directed.
I state this as evidence to my readers that I am no woolly-minded mystic, but have my feet very firmly planted on the ground. Unlike the majority of the other Planners, doubtless owing to the fact I was already a very well known author, I was' privileged to count among my friends General Lord Ismay, Major Sir Desmond Morton and Commander 'Tommy' Thompson, R.N., who were respectively the Prime Min-ister's Chief Staff Officer, his Personal Assistant, and his personal Aide-de-Camp; so were all constantly with him. All three lunched and dined with me, and I with them, on many occasions. (cannot believe that I would not have picked up at least a rumour of it from one of them, had our great war leader owed anything to the Power of Darkness.
There is evidence that Hitler expressed great interest in Satanic ceremonies, and an American correspondent writes to me that Hitler once confided to Rauschnig that he was founding a secret order at the second stage of which a man-god would be worshipped throughout the world - and presumably Hitler intended to be that man.
Himmler was obsessed by a belief in occult power. He listened greedily to every potential magic-maker that his sycophants could produce for him; and Hitler frequently consulted astrologers whom he kept as permanent members of his entourage. Not once, but on half a dozen occasions, he escaped assassination when by all the laws of chance he should have been killed. But, in view of the work he was doing, it paid the Power of Darkness well to keep him alive until it was no longer possible for him to do further harm. We recall, too, his last desperate efforts to destroy the German people with himself. That he survived as long as he did could surely be termed the 'luck of the Devil'.
In every age there have been secret societies, and the greater part of them have been brotherhoods concerned, to a greater or lesser degree, with magic. In the ,Western World, until the middle of the eighteenth century, their members dared not admit to belonging to them for fear of being accused of heresy. With the coming of the Age of Reason the power of the Church declined; so such societies were more freely talked of and written about; but, right up to very recent times, few people would freely confess that on certain nights they attended a sabbath, for to the ordinary person that still suggested evil doings and sexual promiscuity.
During the past decade, human behaviour has entered a new phase. It is termed the permissive society. The restraining powers of the Churches, parental authority and public opinion have all been overthrown by the younger generation. The majority of young people believe that they have the right to do what they like with their lives, irrespective of others, and comparatively few of them follow a religion.
Basically, of course, their instincts do not differ from those of their predecessors. Because a man chooses to grow his hair long, that does not indicate that he is effeminate or lacks courage, and it does not follow that, because a girl exposes all but a small portion of her body to the public gaze, she is necessarily immoral. But this young generation has been brought up in a new and terrible era, in which some maniac may bring an abrupt end to everything by launching nuclear war. In consequence young people lack a feeling of security and feel the urge to drown fear in excitement and excess. It is this, and the desperate seeking for some mental crutch to lean on, that has brought about this great upsurge in the practice of magic.
For many decades it had become so dormant that in 1951 Parliament repealed the ancient Act that made witchcraft a crime. This enabled its practitioners to come out into the open. One such was the late Dr Gerald B. Gardner, who lived in the Isle of Man and opened there the museum that, he claimed, was the only one in the world devoted to magic and witchcraft. He was responsible for the formation of many covens in Britain and initiated rites which are still followed by a considerable percentage of covens today, although they are repudiated by others who adhere to rites handed down from the Druids, and others again who regard their rites as more orthodox. "-
In Britain, the number of covens has now increased to several hundred, and in an article in the New York Times dated October 31st 1969, the Hampshire witch Miss Sybil Leek, who emigrated to the United States, is reported as saying that she knows of 400 covens there.
At sabbaths all indications of class are eliminated by the fact that those present wear uniform black robes or strip themselves naked. The latter custom is much more usual and is claimed to have the advantage because garments form, to some extent, a barrier that lessens the free flow of spiritual emanations from the body. With the object of raising a cone of power the participants perform the follow- my-leader dance with increasing frenzy until one of them becomes possessed, falls and, like a medium, speaks with the voice of the possessing spirit. The procedure is therefore essentially the same as that which takes place at a Voodoo ceremony.
The great majority of modern witches stoutly maintain that they practise only white magic, but the fact remains that anyone attending a sabbath lays himself open to Satanic influences, and in certain cases the evil resulting is incontestable.
The Wall Street Journal, of all papers, devoted to the subject an impressively long article, which opened with a column on the front page of the issue dated October 23rd 1969. It quotes Mr Anton Szandor LaVey - who acted as technical adviser in the film Rosemary's Baby - as saying with a grin, 'I am very much a devil's advocate.' He added that sex played a big part in the weekly night-time services he held, and that the 'Church' he had founded three years before had grown to a membership of 7,000.
In California there was the appalling case in which, apparently, members of a coven brutally murdered the eight-months-pregnant Sharon Tate and a number of other people.
That it was a Satanic killing I had no doubt from the first account of it, because, although they were not hung, two of the victims were found with the traditional sign - the end of a rope tied round the neck.
In Britain, too, the black art is gaining votaries by the thousand. The biography, published in 1969, of Mr Alex Sanders, a Manchester man now living in London, states that, as a youth, he one day came upon his grandmother in her kitchen standing naked in a pentacle. She disclosed to him that she was the last of a long line of hereditary witches. Then, in due course, she initiated him, both into her secrets and sexually. He now claims to be the King Witch of England.
Personally I do not believe that there are many more genuine sorcerers practising today than there have been in the past. By that I mean initiates of the genuine Rosicrucians or adepts possessing the secrets of the Cabala who, by a perverted use of them, can call to their aid the Powers of Darkness. The majority of these covens, I am convinced, are run by unscrupulous individuals who, to satisfy their lusts, impose on the credulity of young people and induce them to participate in rituals ending in orgies, by promising the girls rich husbands, the men other women they desire, or success in other ventures on which they have set their hearts.
I believe, too, that in certain cases covens are operated for purposes of blackmail. In these, a 'talent scout' picks up a likely victim at an ordinary spiritualistic seance and says to him, 'This is only nursery stuff. I'll take you to a place next week where you can see the real thing.' After attending a few meetings of the coven, the victim is photographed from behind a curtain, bending over a lovely nude girl. He is then told to pay up - or else.
Assuming that I am right, and that such genuine black magicians as there are concern themselves very little with romps, but a great deal with bringing about disruption through causing conditions that lead to widespread labour unrest and (wherever possible) wars, this does not mean that the covens run by frauds are harmless. Far from it. One does not have to know the secret rituals to attract the interest of the Powers of Darkness.
By prayer to any source of good in which one believes, one can receive comfort and fortitude; by participating in Satanic rites, however sham, one can make oneself a focus for evil. The spilling of blood by the sacrifice of animals, the spilling of semen in lust without affection, and the practice of perversions are like ringing a bell for the Devil. All these thousands of young people who have become initiates of covens are liable to become pawns of the Power of Darkness in its eternal war with the Power of Light. If this continues on an ever-increasing scale, the inevitable result will be a return to the brutal lawlessness, poverty and insecurity of the Dark Ages.
It is the duty of every responsible person who values a life of order, stability and decency to do his utmost to prevent this from happening. But how are we to set about it?

Nazis fleeing to Argentina

Mike Thomson investigates claims that senior officials from the Swiss
police allowed Germans to travel to Argentina without the correct
paperwork during the Second World War. View a picture gallery of
images related to this edition.
It is well known that many senior Nazis escaped to Argentina after the
war.
The mystery has been how they managed to get there given that no
German was allowed to leave the country without an Allied approved
pass. The investigative history series, Document, returns with a
possible answer.
Records from the time reveal that in 1948 a representative of the
Dutch airline KLM asked Swiss police to ease travel restrictions for
Germans travelling to Argentina without the proper paperwork.
In the years that followed many wealthy Germans each spent the
equivalent of an average man's wages on luxury KLM flights to the
Argentine capital Buenos Aires.
It's suggested that this was all part of an elaborate covert plan to
help former Nazis flee from justice.
Sixty years on Dutch MPs are calling on KLM to open it's books and
allow an independent enquiry. Mike Thomson travels to the Netherlands
to investigate.

Ex US Staff Sargeant Jimmy Massey
Shocking confessions of a US Marine. "Why are we killing so many
civilians?"
Cowboys From Hell is a new book by Jimmy Massey
New book tells it how it is
http://www.ivaw.org/
About (600 active members that speak worldwide, 2000 members in
reserve waiting for the revolution many within the US military, only
question is when are we going to take it to the White House, have
members within the NSA Maryland)
US Marines officer who questioned violations of the Geneva conventions
only to narrowly escape jail. Now wants to tell the world what he
witnessed in Iraq. This from Venezuelan TV
part 1
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCRTgs5Cqlc
No 1 mercenary outfit is Blackwater - compound in North Carolina -
private security firms - do combat operations which are outside Geneva
conventions and international law. They get about 4 times the pay of
army soldiers. Not professional soldiers.
part 2 - We Are Surrounding Them
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hLTJ6uUL3U
This is an extension from the first gulf war - the number of deaths is
Genocidal
part 3
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7W_nGl9Z2I
We will stay in iraq until we bleed iraqis of all of their oil and
then we will move to iran, syria and whoever else we think has oil or
natural resources we can rape. Including Venezuela. This is World War
III, there are no rules, the rules went out the window September the
11th. My 12 year of briefings in US Marine corps tells me the US has a
quest for global domination... marines are gangsters for capitalism.
The media within the US has blinded the American people. blames Bill
O'Reily Fox News, Mr O'Reilly needs to grow a Hitler moustache.
Supposedly Irish but I think he's more fascist. Mr O'Reilly has
betrayed his people of Ireland.
