Robots To Patrol Super Bowl - Should We Worry?

It is widely known now that Pentagon has already deployed SWORD robot warriors to slaughter more Iraqis, but now with the increasing bad PR going around about a scary robotized society, the military industrial complex (Northrop Grumman Corp. is a key player) is sending out some friendly robots to let the people know that robots can look after your kids during the football game, and not just mow people down with their laser-precision machine guns.

Arizona law enforcement agencies will use robots to help maintain security at the Super Bowl to be held Feb. 3 at the University of Phoenix Stadium.

Northrop Grumman Corp. will provide support and repair services for the robots, produced by its Remotec Inc. division.

The robots will assist officers on patrol in a two-square-mile security zone around the stadium. They will assist the Phoenix and Glendale, Ariz. Police departments as well as other federal, state and local agencies at the game.

"We're here to support the event and hopefully go unnoticed by fans. Our job isn't to be a disruption but to keep danger at a distance," said Mack Barber, president of Remotec, an operating unit of Northrop Grumman's Mission Systems sector.

The robots are about 3 feet high and move on wheels. Some will be in the public view and possibly patrolling with officers, and some will be in enclosed areas and only brought out if they are needed, said Northrop Grumman spokesman George Seffers.

Northrop Grumman builds robots for handling hazardous materials and other risky jobs. The robots typically help fire and police departments with explosive disposal units and hazardous material cleanup.

Northrop Grumman of Los Angeles ranks No. 3 on Washington Technology's 2007 Top 100 list of the largest federal government prime contractors.

SAN DIEGO -- The Navy's MDARS-E is an armed robot that can track anything that moves. Told that I was the target, the unmanned vehicle trained its guns on me and ordered, "Stay where you are," in an intimidating robot voice. And yes, it was frightening.

Perched atop a strip of cliffs lining a beautiful section of the Pacific Ocean, the Space and Naval Warfare System Command in San Diego develops semiautonomous armed robots for use in combat by the U.S. military. "We're not building Skynet" says Bart Everett, the technical director for robotics at SPAWAR. Though Everett assured me that the use of the robots' on-board weapons is under the strict control of their operators, the lab's bots can navigate and map complicated terrain, work cooperatively with soldiers and identify and confront hostile targets. Sure, they're no Johnny Five, but robots with guns are both creepy and fascinating.

Want To Submit A Wacky Crazy Killer Robot Idea To DARPA ? Click!

The MDARS-E (Mobile Detection Assessment and Response System - Exterior) robot is an armed, unmanned vehicle that can navigate complicated environments autonomously. Decked out with a wide array of high-tech sensors and controlled by a sophisticated software system, the MDARS-E gives the recent Darpa (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) challenge participants a run for their money. More information about this vehicle follows on the next page.

The MDARS-E is intended to drive around urban and rural environments looking for bad guys. As it's cruising, it reports its findings in real time to a guard station. Once the guard identifies an entity as an intruder, the MDARS-E trains its guns on the target and, in an ominous robotic voice, warns him to stay put. If given the command, the robot will first fire a warning shot at the target's feet, and then, if ignored, it will shoot the target.

The vehicle model that SPAWAR demonstrated for us was outfitted with nonlethal weapons. These pneumatic robotic guns (top left and top right) fire munitions that are like paint balls with fins to increase distance and accuracy. Some of these pellets can mark targets or release pepper spray on contact.

The MDARS-E uses a stereoscopic robotic camera system for navigation (bottom left) as well as cameras mounted on the weapons for targeting. A LADAR system (bottom right) uses 24 beams to build an image of the surrounding terrain.

ROBART III is a prototype platform designed in-house at SPAWAR. If it weren't for the chain gun and missiles, he would be pretty cute. Once he's ready for battle he'll almost certainly don an evil-looking suit of armor. ROBART's sensor array consists of a multitude of cameras, SICK LIDAR (like radar, but with lasers), ultrasonic transducers (gold spots), passive IR (infrared radiation) detectors and more. The weapons are planned to work in unison with a special rifle that would automatically target where a soldier points his weapon.

One of ROBART III's weapon systems is this nonlethal pneumatic chain gun. It uses a combination of laser sighting and machine vision to lock in on its target and barrages it with a torrent of 3/16-inch-diameter projectiles. In tests, plastic pellets (like air-soft munitions) and steel darts were used.

This prototype robotic weapon platform is designed to be buried underground for camouflaged deployment. When called to action, the robotic gun pops up and starts shooting. If you're the unlucky soul on the business end of this gun, it's likely curtains for you -- this robot is an extremely accurate shooter. A high-tech night-vision scope (bottom right) permits dead-on targeting even during moonless nights.

The FIRRE may look deadly and efficient, but it has a serious design flaw. Though the tank treads allow it to cross nearly any obstacle, the lack of suspension slowly destroys any type of robotic weapon system that is mounted to it. SPAWAR tried, unsuccessfully, to lessen the rough ride by mounting the robo-gun with shock-absorbing cabling. The FIRRE platform is no longer being considered for battlefield deployment.

The robots in service in Iraq and Afghanistan often see as much dangerous action as their human counterparts. Frequently in the process of disarming IEDs, they end up getting blown apart and saving many lives in the process. These $100,000 robots aren't just tossed in the trash -- many of them are sent back to SPAWAR for repair.

At left, Fire Controlman 2nd Class Mendel Baker tests a communication module for a robot damaged in theater. Normally one working robot can be reassembled using parts salvaged from three broken bots.

Most of the current generation robots in service in Iraq are controlled wirelessly. To extend the range control, SPAWAR researchers developed a self-deploying wireless repeater payload. The robot shoots these spring-loaded repeater modules out their tail ends and they pop open to reveal an elevated antenna (right). The researchers are currently working on a smaller and more rugged version of this system.

This robotic boat navigates autonomously using a combination of nautical maps, radar, LADAR and cameras. The USV (Unmanned Surface Vehicle) is SPAWAR's latest project designed to fill a variety of nautical robotic needs. The sensor array (top) is an impressive addition to the relatively stock Seadoo boat platform (bottom left). The USV uses a complex software suite, which a group of researchers are fine-tuning (bottom right).

This little robot is outfitted with a LIDAR (light detection and ranging) scanner as well as a set of stereo cameras that allow it to autonomously navigate through confined spaces and make maps of its progress (below). The robot can also be given a command to follow a soldier through a building, which it will happily obey. The black boxes on the map represent doors detected by the LIDAR.

This four-wheeled unmanned vehicle (left) is a mobile launching and refueling station for the aerial robot (gray) resting on top of it. The vehicle can take off, land on the platform and refuel without any human intervention. A complex fire-control system (top right) is required to handle the volatile fuel that powers the aerial robot. The ground vehicle can take a variety of payloads, including a robotic weapon mount (bottom right).

This poster hangs in the SPAWAR offices and gives perspective on the exponential leaps forward in robot autonomy over a relatively short amount of time. View the Evolving Paradigms of Human-Robot Interaction poster (pdf).

Few people realize that military robots and humans have been interacting since World War II when the Germans used remote controlled tanks in battle (while staying within eyesight of the vehicle). These were teleoperated vehicles, just like those used in Iraq and Afghanistan today.

In the SPAWAR laboratory, human-robot interaction has come a long way, especially in the last three years, as robots have gone from mapping an area by themselves (full autonomy), to mapping and then leading a human through an area (semiproximal autonomy), to working fully with a human partner (proximal autonomy). You've come a long way, robo-baby.

Defense Focus: FCS follies

Are the cyber-pigeons coming home to roost?

Washington (UPI)
by Martin Sieff
Jan 28, 2007

For the past 2-1/2 years, we have been reporting in these columns about the growing problems generating by former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's visionary Future Combat Systems program to make the U.S. armed forces unbeatable in the 21st century.

FCS had the ambitious vision of integrating the firepower of combat forces of the U.S. Army through a wireless network in real time. It offered the prospect of field commanders video conferencing with front-line officers in tanks on the battlefield. It offered the vision of minimizing combat casualties by sending in large numbers of robots to defuse mines and open ways through battlefields.

The program was one of the most costly in the history of the U.S. Army. The Washington Post Friday said its estimated cost was $200 billion. As we have previously reported in these columns, some estimates from the Congressional Budget Office and the Government Accountability Office have already gone 50 percent higher than that. And even those estimates assumed that the basic concepts of the program were sound and that it would work as projected.

In fact, as the Post reported Friday, the number of lines of software code required by the project has more than doubled in only the past five years. The Army originally reckoned it needed 33.7 million lines of code. Now it reckons it needs 63.8 million. The paper also cited Dennis Muilenberg, Boeing's project manager on the FCS, as maintaining that the original estimate was 55 million lines of software, not 33 million.

No one doubts that interconnectivity and rapid response is vital on the battle field. No one doubts the U.S. armed forces have enjoyed a decisive global superiority in applying these key technologies over the past quarter century. And no one with any sense doubts that it should be a top priority goal to seek to retain that advantage through the coming decades.

But as we have warned in these columns before, the FCS from the very beginning appeared doomed to failure: It sought to replace the flexibility easily available in modern off-the-shelf communications technology with enormously ambitious and rigid integrated goals that swallowed up limitless resources.

Yet, as we reported 2-1/2 years ago, three-star Army generals were cautiously warning back in August 2005 that the very concept of the FCS leaves it dangerously vulnerable to cyber-attack -- a form of asymmetrical warfare that China in particular has given top priority to, and that is also being developed energetically by Russia and India.

These concerns have since become more widespread. The Post report cited a warning from the Defense Science Board, which advises the Office of the Secretary of Defense, as saying last year, "Malicious code is a key concern of the FCS program (and it) lacks confidence in current tools for detecting malicious code."

In other words, the key strategic conception for continuing U.S. battlefield superiority for at least 20 years to come depends on an integrated software system that is still being developed, and that is certain to be vulnerable to hostile cyber-attacks even when it is finally completed.

But that is only the first of the strategic and conceptual problems that the FCS mega-project faces. There are even more fundamental ones.

Intrusive Brain Reading Surveillance Technology: Hacking the Mind

by Carole Smith

Global Research, December 13, 2007

Dissent Magazine, Australia, Summer 2007/2008

"We need a program of psychosurgery for political control of our society. The purpose is physical control of the mind. Everyone who deviates from the given norm can be surgically mutilated. The individual may think that the most important reality is his own existence, but this is only his personal point of view. This lacks historical perspective. Man does not have the right to develop his own mind. This kind of liberal orientation has great appeal. We must electronically control the brain. Someday armies and generals will be controlled by electric stimulation of the brain.È Dr José Delgado. Director of Neuropsychiatry, Yale University Medical School Congressional Record, No. 26, Vol. 118 February 24, 1974. The Guardian newspaper, that defender of truth in the United Kingdom, published an article by the Science Correspondent, Ian Sample, on 9 February 2007 entitled: ‘The Brain Scan that can read people’s intentions’, with the sub-heading: ‘Call for ethical debate over possible use of new technology in interrogation". "Using the scanner, we could look around the brain for this information and read out something that from the outside there's no way you could possibly tell is in there. It's like shining a torch around, looking for writing on a wall", the scientists were reported as saying. At the same time, London’s Science Museum was holding an exhibition entitled ‘Neurobotics: The Future of Thinking’. This venue had been chosen for the launch in October 2006 of the news that human thoughts could be read using a scanner. Dr Geraint Rees’ smiling face could be seen in a photograph at the Neurobotics website, under the heading "The Mind Reader". Dr Rees is one of the scientists who have apparently cracked the problem which has preoccupied philosophers and scientists since before Plato: they had made entry into the conscious mind. Such a reversal of human historical evolution, announced in such a pedestrian fashion, makes one wonder what factors have been in play, and what omissions made, in getting together this show, at once banal and extraordinary. The announcement arrives as if out of a vacuum. The neuroscientist - modern-style hunter-gatherer of information and darling of the "Need to Know" policies of modern government - does little to explain how he achieved this goal of entering the conscious mind, nor does he put his work into any historical context. Instead, we are asked in the Science Museum’s programme notes: How would you feel if someone could read your innermost thoughts? Geraint Rees of UCL says he can. By using brain-imaging technology he's beginning to decode thought and explore the difference between the conscious and unconscious mind. But how far will it go? And shouldn’t your thoughts remain your personal business? If Dr Rees has decoded the mind sufficiently for such an announcement to be made in an exhibition devoted to it, presumably somewhere is the mind which has been, and is continuing to be, decoded. He is not merely continuing his experiments using functional magnetic resolution scanning (fMRI) in the way neuroscientists have been observing their subjects under scanning devices for years, asking them to explain what they feel or think while the scientists watch to see which area lights up, and what the cerebral flow in the brain indicates for various brain areas. Dr Rees is decoding the mind in terms of conscious and unconscious processes. For that, one must have accessed consciousness itself. Whose consciousness? Where is the owner of that consciousness – and unconsciousness? How did he/she feel? Why not ask them to tell us how it feels, instead of asking us. The Neurobotics Exhibition was clearly set up to make these exciting new discoveries an occasion for family fun, and there were lots of games for visitors to play. One gets the distinct impression that we are being softened up for the introduction of radical new technology which will, perhaps, make the mind a communal pool rather than an individual possession. Information technology seeks to connect us all to each other in as many ways as possible, but also, presumably, to those vast data banks which allow government control not only to access all information about our lives, but now also to our thoughts, even to our unconscious processing. Does anyone care? One of the most popular exhibits was the ‘Mindball’ game, which required two players to go literally head-to-head in a battle for brainpower, and used ‘brainpower’ alone. Strapped up with headbands which pick up brain waves, the game uses neurofeedback, but the person who is calm and relaxed wins the game. One received the impression that this calmness was the spirit that the organisers wished to reinforce, to deflect any undue public panic that might arise from the news that private thoughts could now be read with a scanner. The ingress into the mind as a private place was primarily an event to be enjoyed with the family on an afternoon out: Imagine being able to control a computer with only the power of your mind. Or read people’s thoughts and know if they’re lying. And what if a magnetic shock to the brain could make you more creative…but should we be able to engineer our minds? Think your thoughts are private? Ever told a lie and been caught red-handed? Using brain-scanning technology, scientists are beginning to probe our minds and tell if we’re lying. Other scientists are decoding our desires and exploring the difference between our conscious and unconscious mind. But can you really trust the technology? Other searching questions are raised in the program notes, and more games: Find out if you’ve got what it takes to be a modern-day spy in this new interactive family exhibition. After being recruited as a trainee spy, explore the skills and abilities required by real agents and use some of the latest technologies that help spies gather and analyse information. Later go on and discover what it’s like to be spied upon. Uncover a secret store of prototype gadgets that give you a glimpse into the future of spy technologies and finally use everything you’ve learnt to escape before qualifying as a fully-fledged agent! There were also demonstrations of grateful paraplegics and quadriplegics showing how the gods of science have so unselfishly liberated them from their prisons: this was the serious Nobel Prize side of the show. But there was no-one representing Her Majesty’s government to demonstrate how these very same devices can be used quite freely, and with relative ease, in our wireless age, to conduct experiments on free-ranging civilians tracked anywhere in the world, and using an infinitely extendable form of electrode which doesn’t require visible contact with the scalp at all. Electrodes, like electricity, can also take an invisible form – an electrode is a terminal of an electric source through which electrical energy or current may flow in or out. The brain itself is an electrical circuit. Every brain has its own unique resonating frequency. The brain is an infinitely more sensitive receiver and transmitter than the computer, and even in the wireless age, the comprehension of how wireless networks operate appears not to extend to the workings of the brain. The monotonous demonstration of scalps with electrodes attached to them, in order to demonstrate the contained conduction of electrical charges, is a scientific fatuity, in so far as it is intended to demonstrate comprehensively the capability of conveying charges to the brain, or for that matter, to any nerve in the body, as a form of invisible torture. As Neurobotics claims: ‘Your brain is amazing’, but the power and control over brains and nervous systems achieved by targeting brain frequencies with radiowaves must have been secretly amazing government scientists for many years. The problem that now arises, at the point of readiness when so much has been achieved, is how to put the technology into action in such a way, as it will be acceptable in the public domain. This requires getting it through wider government and legal bodies, and for that, it must be seen to spring from the unbiased scientific investigations into the workings of the brain, in the best tradition of the leading universities. It is given over to Dr Rees and his colleague, Professor Haynes, endowed with the disclosure for weightier Guardian readers, to carry the torch for the government. Those involved may also have noted the need to show the neuroscientist in a more responsible light, following US neuroengineer for government sponsored Lockheed Martin, John Norseen’s, ingenuous comment, in 2000, about his belief about the consequences of his work in fMRI: ‘If this research pans out’, said Norseen, ‘you can begin to manipulate what someone is thinking even before they know it.’ And added: "The ethics don’t concern me, but they should concern someone else." While the neuroscientists report their discovery (without even so much as the specific frequency of the light employed by this scanner/torch), issuing ethical warnings while incongruously continuing with their mind-blowing work, the government which sponsors them, remains absolutely mute. The present probing of people’s intentions, minds, background thoughts, hopes and emotions is being expanded into the more complex and subtle aspects of thinking and feeling. We have, however, next to no technical information about their methods. The description of ‘shining a torch around the brain’ is as absurd a report as one could read of a scientific endeavour, especially one that carries such enormous implications for the future of mankind. What is this announcement, with its technical obfuscation, preparing us for? Writing in Wired contributing editor Steve Silberman points out that the lie-detection capability of fMRI is ‘poised to transform the security system, the judicial system, and our fundamental notions of privacy’. He quotes Cephos founder, Steven Laken, whose company plans to market the new technology for lie detection. Laken cites detainees held without charge at Guantanamo Bay as a potential example. ‘If these detainees have information we haven’t been able to extract that could prevent another 9/11, I think most Americans would agree that we should be doing whatever it takes to extract it’. Silberman also quotes Paul Root Wolpe, a senior fellow at the Center for Bioethics at the University of Pennsylvania, who describes the accelerated advances in fMRI as ‘ a textbook example of how something can be pushed forward by the convergence of basic science, the government directing research through funding, and special interests who desire a particular technology’. Are we to believe that with the implied capability to scan jurors’ brains, the judiciary, the accused and the defendant alike, influencing one at the expense of the other, that the legal implications alone of mind-accessing scanners on university campuses, would not rouse the Minister for Justice from his bench to say a few words about these potential mind weapons? So what of the ethical debate called for by the busy scientists and the Guardian’s science reporter? Can this technology- more powerful in subverting thought itself than anything in prior history – really be confined to deciding whether the ubiquitously invoked terrorist has had the serious intention of blowing up the train, or whether it was perhaps a foolish prank to make a bomb out of chapatti flour? We can assume that the government would certainly not give the go-ahead to the Science Museum Exhibition, linked to Imperial College, a major government-sponsored institution in laser-physics, if it was detrimental to surveillance programs. It is salutary to bear in mind that government intelligence research is at least ten years ahead of any public disclosure. It is implicit from history that whatever affords the undetectable entry by the gatekeepers of society into the brain and mind, will not only be sanctioned, but funded and employed by the State, more specifically by trained operatives in the security forces, given powers over defenceless citizens, and unaccountable to them. The actual technology which is now said to be honing the technique ‘to distinguish between passing thoughts and genuine intentions’ is described by Professor John-Dylan Haynes in the Guardian in the most disarmingly untechnical language which must surely not have been intended to enlighten. The Guardian piece ran as follows: A team of world-leading neuroscientists has developed a powerful technique that allows them to look deep inside a person’s brain and read their intentions before they act. The research breaks controversial new ground in scientists’ ability to probe people’s minds and eavesdrop on their thoughts, and raises serious ethical issues over how brain-reading technology may be used in the future. ‘Using the scanner, we could look around the brain for this information and read out something that from the outside there's no way you could possibly tell is in there. It's like shining a torch around, looking for writing on a wall,’ said John-Dylan Haynes at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Germany, who led the study with colleagues at University College London and Oxford University. We know therefore that they are using light, but fMRI has been used for many years to attempt the unravelling of neuronal activity, and while there have been many efforts to record conscious and unconscious processes, with particular emphasis on the visual cortex, there has been no progress into consciousness itself. We can be sure that we are not being told the real story. Just as rats and chimpanzees have been used to demonstrate findings from remote experiments on humans, electrode implants used on cockroaches to remotely control them, lasers used to steer fruit-flies , and worms engineered so that their nerves and muscles can be controlled with pinpricks of light, the information and techniques that have been ruthlessly forged using opportunistic onslaughts on defenceless humans as guinea pigs - used for myriad purposes from creating 3D haptic gloves in computer games to creating artificial intelligence to send visual processing into outer space - require appropriate replication for peer group approval and to meet ethical demands for scientific and public probity. The use of light to peer into the brain is almost certainly that of terahertz, which occurs in the wavelengths which lie between 30mm and 1mm of the electromagnetic spectrum. Terahertz has the ability to penetrate deep into organic materials, without (it is said) the damage associated with ionising radiation such as x-rays. It can distinguish between materials with varying water content – for example fat versus lean meat. These properties lend themselves to applications in process and quality control as well as biomedical imaging. Terahertz can penetrate bricks, and also human skulls. Other applications can be learnt from the major developer of terahertz in the UK, Teraview, which is in Cambridge, and partially owned by Toshiba. Efforts to alert human rights’ groups about the loss of the mind as a place to call your own, have met with little discernible reaction, in spite of reports about over decades of the dangers of remote manipulation using technology to access the mind, Dr Nick Begich’s book, Controlling the human mind, being an important recent contribution. A different approach did in fact, elicit a response. When informed of the use of terahertz at Heathrow and Luton airports in the UK to scan passengers, the news that passengers would be revealed naked by a machine which looked directly through their clothes produced a small, but highly indignant, article in the spring 2007 edition of the leading human rights organisation, Liberty. If the reading of the mind met with no protest, seeing through one’s clothes certainly did. It seems humans’ assumption of the mind as a private place has been so secured by evolution that it will take a sustained battle to convince the public that, through events of which we are not yet fully informed, such former innocence has been lost. Trained light, targeted atomic spectroscopy, the use of powerful magnets to absorb moisture from human tissues, the transfer of radiative energy – these have replaced the microwave harassment which was used to transmit auditory messages directly into the hearing. With the discovery of light to disentangle thousands of neurons and encode signals from the complex circuitry of the brain, present programs will not even present the symptoms which simulated schizoid states. Medically, even if terahertz does not ionise, we do not yet know how the sustained application of intense light will affect the delicate workings of the brain and how cells might be damaged, dehydrated, stretched, obliterated. This year, 2007, has also brought the news that terahertz lasers small enough to incorporate into portable devices had been developed. Sandia National Laboratories in the US in collaboration with MIT have produced a transmitter-receiver (transceiver) that enables a number of applications. In addition to scanning for explosives, we may also assume their integration into hand-held communication systems. ‘These semiconductor devices have output powers which previously could only be obtained by molecular gas lasers occupying cubic meters and weighing more than 100kg, or free electron lasers weighing tons and occupying buildings.’ As far back as 1996 the US Air Force Scientific Advisory Board predicted that the development of electromagnetic energy sources would ‘open the door for the development of some novel capabilities that can be used in armed conflict, in terrorist/hostage situations, and in training’ and ‘new weapons that offer the opportunity of control of an adversary … can be developed around this concept’. The surveillance technology of today is the surveillance of the human mind and, through access to the brain and nervous system, the control of behaviour and the body’s functions. The messaging of auditory hallucinations has given way to silent techniques of influencing and implanting thoughts. The development of the terahertz technologies has illuminated the workings of the brain, facilitated the capture of emitted photons which are derived from the visual cortex which processes picture formation in the brain, and enabled the microelectronic receiver which has, in turn, been developed by growing unique semi-conductor crystals. In this way, the technology is now in place for the detection and reading of spectral ‘signatures’ of gases. All humans emit gases. Humans, like explosives, emit their own spectral signature in the form of a gas. With the reading of the brain’s electrical frequency, and of the spectral gas signature, the systems have been established for the control of populations – and with the necessary technology integrated into a cell-phone. ‘We are very optimistic about working in the terahertz electromagnetic spectrum,’ says the principal investigator of the Terahertz Microelectronics Transceiver at Sandia: ‘This is an unexplored area, and a lot of science can come out of it. We are just beginning to scratch the surface of what THz can do to improve national security’.

Power Of The People

By Ted Lang
Exclusive to Rense.com
2-4-7

Governments, including our own, react swiftly and decisively to any threat or military action directed against it. Nowadays, instant and immediate military retaliation by a government under attack is in all probability completely automatic in light of today's astonishing technology. Complex radar networks and their automatic tie-ins to retaliatory missile and laser weaponry are to be expected of most of the world's technologically up-to-date nations. It is this dimension of highly advanced military retaliatory defenses that makes our government and the 9/11 Commission's "reasoning" for the success of those "terrorist" attacks so laughable.

And offering that these were perpetrated against America by desert-based Third World citizens agonizing on a daily basis over our freedoms and wealth puts the focus of such jealousies not on them, but instead and more directly upon our own government. It is they who loathe and despise our wealth and freedoms more than any nomadic and desert village inhabitants, the latter merely interested in eking out a means for basic daily survival for themselves and their families.

Our government continues to demonstrate its hatred for our freedoms by passing illegal and unconstitutional legislation proven so by such criminal measures as the USA PATRIOT Act and the Military Commissions Act. They demonstrate their hatred for our wealth by passing unjust and inequitable inheritance tax laws, by expanding our horrific income tax laws, by fully supporting the Supreme Courtesan's abolition of private property, and by continuing as well, their unjust, unconstitutional and illegal war based on the lies, fraud, and falsehoods perpetrated by America's greatest traitor. An unending continuation of imperial wars and invasions serve to guarantee the total devaluation of our money via ratcheting up our debt to the international Zionist bankers. Do not all these criminal activities beg two simple over-arching questions: why does our government so continuously and fervently oppose our interests and well-being, and why do we need such government in the first place?

The quickest and most obvious response from the legions of America's most simple-minded would, of course, point out our dire need for defense from other invading nations. But let's assume the same posture toward our government as it now assumes towards US, as evidenced via their PATRIOT and Military Commissions Act. Just as they now presume US guilty until we prove our innocence, while at the same time blocking US from even doing that to save ourselves, let US presume their complete and total guilt in perpetrating the 9/11 massacre against just as they did at Waco, Oklahoma City and in shooting down TWA 800. We the people are not to presume that the Government of the United States of America deliberately slaughtered 3,000 of its own citizens in order to induce the blind rage that sought vengeance and even nuclear retaliation against the very first sovereign suspect that our government offered up. What have they done to persuade US otherwise?

American simpletons will roll their eyes, parrot the line of a notable nabob of nattering broadcast babble, and conclude that you simply fail to appreciate the incompetence of our military commanders and leaders. After all, where but from the military did such terms as "snafu" and "fubar" come from if not our own military? SNAFU: situation normal, all 'f'd up! FUBAR: f'd up beyond all recognition. See?! The military has always been this badly snafued and fubared. Such easy explanations fail to deal with the automated, highly sophisticated and technologically superior defense systems our military has specifically designed to avoid such human error. How many times have you read or heard, even through our highly controlled and editorialized information gate-guarding media, false alarms resulting in split-second responses when scenarios much less threatening were so over-responded to? Yet, we are expected to believe the 9/11 Commission's bullshit answer that human error was to blame in all four aircraft hijackings and the resultant terrorism of 9/11.

Our own government wasn't the least bit concerned about our safety and well-being. It was only concerned with designing and executing a means of generating public opinion to serve its own interests and desires. Cheney is growing richer by the second on the profits generated by the Iraqi "war" which is increasing immensely the wealth of Halliburton. The Bush crime family is cashing in on yet another fascist military venture, the first one having launched the Bush wealth via the financial partnership of Grandpa Prescott Bush and Adolf Hitler. The "war," read illegal imperial invasion, serves to liberate Iraq's oil reserves in response to direction from Israel, and is now lost. We've dislodged the lid Saddam held on that pot of potential mayhem due to the varying religious and political factions, and have created instead a deadly and devastating civil war in that once secular and sovereign nation. The civil unrest Bush and Congress created now threatens the entire region. It may bring US into conflict with the whole of Islam. Our smirking "decider" is fondling his nuclear toys and getting ready to initiate another first: invading other nations with nuclear weapons to expand his "war on tur."

Reality precludes Bush from launching his imperial invasion on Iran in the style supported by his grandfather: jackbooted legions goose-stepping with precision through the main thoroughfares of Tehran. Regrettably, and most unfortunately for Iran, Bush must use his nuclear toys and Israel theirs, the latter provided to that rogue nation by the American taxpayer to comply with the schedule and requirements of the Zionist Agenda. It's a real bad scene for Iran: Bush has to comply with Israel's orders yet simply doesn't have enough American boys and girls to sacrifice for Judah. Hence, nuclear attack!

Of course, the Zionist media tells US that only non-binding legislatively meaningless resolutions are the only powers Congress has. And Pelosi and the Hillaroid will confirm the media's observations. But that is nonsense! We were neither attacked nor invaded, and there is as yet no armed insurrection on the part of the American people. Therefore, there is no constitutional reason or prohibition restraining Congress from rescinding Bush's war-making powers. All Congress has to do is cancel Bush's special and unconstitutional "war powers" to rein in this mass-murdering genocidal lunatic. Considering his now proven lies, his now-proven falsehoods, and his beyond-any-doubt fraud, and recalling legal scholar Jonathan Turley's statement on FOXNews during the Clinton impeachment, all that has to be proven to impeach the president is that he lied to the people.

And that's a done deal! And the biggest lie Bush offered was during his constitutionally mandated State of the Union Address when he uttered those famous 16 words stating that Saddam tried to obtain uranium from Niger. He lied to the American people and their representatives while performing a required duty prescribed by the Constitution of the United States of America, our Rule of Law, which he dismisses as just being a "goddamned piece of paper."

What else does Congress really need to impeach this genocidal, power-drunk, mass-murdering lunatic and White House Moron? The answer is simple: nothing! Congress can do it right now, but with the help and the promotion of political and government confusion orchestrated chiefly by the Zionists, their media and their lobby, they and their moronic stooge Bush are buying time to figure out the pretense, the precise moment, and the tactical nuclear hits to take out Ahmadinejad and Iran. Maybe the hits will be orchestrated, as occasionally they were, to happen on a significant Christian holiday such as Good Friday. Maybe this time, it will be the high Christian holiday of Easter. North Korea, the third point of Zionist agitator David Frum's "axis of evil," will have to wait. They're crazy enough to fight back, and just like the rogue and nuclear-armed nation of Israel, North Korea also has a need to distract its citizens from the realities of its horrible government.

I have offered a solution. What is needed in America is a totally new approach to governance. Under the leadership of an outsider, meaning someone virtually free and independent of the current, corrupt spoils system of American politics' two-flavored single party system, the Democrat-Republican Party, such a leader now has, more than during any other time in America's history, a real chance of uniting the American people in a populist movement. Just as happened during our Founding, patriotic colonists, originally committed to loyalty to the British Crown began by first complaining to the British government, which then morphed eventually into civil disobedience and minor demonstrations, and then finally to open armed rebellion. Armed rebellion, like war, should be avoided at all costs. This is so for the same reason articulated by Sun Tzu who warned against destroying the social infrastructure of the vanquished. Basically, the reasoning is to preserve as much of that which is familiar to a defeated people to avoid continual uprising and rebellion. Too bad Bush genius L. Paul Bremer wasn't familiar with this basic premise.

Political parties were abhorrent to both patriotic factions that founded this nation. Government centrists in the form of Federalists, as well as those despising large, powerful central government and recognizing it as a great threat to individual freedom and calling themselves anti-Federalists Jeffersonian "Republicans," both vehemently opposed political parties for the great inherent danger they pose to both the people and their government. You see, Federalists and anti-Federalists did not see themselves as organized political parties, but as antagonists on the philosophical battlefield framed upon the motive to do what was best for of the people of this potentially great nation. Is there today any doubt whatsoever that their fears were completely justified? Our political parties serve neither our people nor our form of government. And that is why we now have a dictatorship that only serves the Zionist Agenda and its timetable!

It has oft been pointed out, especially when considering the Zionist media-suppressed Downing Street Memo, that Bush recklessly and deliberately called for false intelligence to help him launch the Iraqi invasion. Key to that criticism concerning Bush's recklessness was the reference to his failure to consider an exit strategy. Now what outcome strategy do you suppose our "decider" has put together to follow the nuclear attack on Iran, hmmmmm? Does "the smirk" even have one? Don't count on it! His job, as the illegitimately appointed decider and White House Moron, is to comply with the Zionist Agenda mandated by the Zionist Network and The Lobby. It is not for him to reason why, just to sacrifice Americans to do and die.

Whether or not Iran retaliates is not an issue ­ they will, but we won't know where or when. Think the decider cares? And they may not use "conventional" means, such as nuclear ground, air or submarine-based missiles. In fact, it may not even be Iran that retaliates. Since we and our decider have targeted ALL of Islam, perhaps it will only be some of Islam that retaliates. Perhaps it will be another nation that isn't even part of the huge Islamic block. Perhaps they will come to realize that the most powerful and dangerous rogue nation on the planet, made so by a brain trust of insane, power hungry lunatics bent on world domination, will eventually attack them also after Islam has been conquered. What ever happened to those missing 200 suitcase nukes that disappeared from the former Soviet Union? Is our decider considering these things? Of course not! He's too stupid and dedicated only to the Zionist Agenda. And so are virtually all in Congress including Pelosi and the Hillaroid.

But why does our rogue and unrepresentative government need a buy-in from US? As others have pointed out, the Zionist bankers have commandeered the governments of virtually every powerful nation on Earth; why do they need to continue to bullshit US and pretend that we the people have the potential to make a difference?

That's because WE DO have the potential to make a difference! Good Friday, huh? How about April 15th people???? Know what that date signifies? How about Labor Day, huh? Remember, the District of Crime gangsters in Washington would instantly starve to death without US! We pay them their salaries and provide them luxurious, cushiony and generous pensions and health care upon their "retirement." We make their limousines, grow and prepare their food, build their computers, provide their power and heating fuel, make and fly their airplanes for 'em. What do they do for US in return?

Let's count the ways they serve US! They tax [read steal] our incomes via an unjust Zionist-imposed income tax, and steal the inheritances we intended for our children. They steal our children and make them fight and die and lose limb, mind and sight for a tiny foreign nation whose population barely equates to that of New York City. They federalize our police, turning them against US via "federal aid" provided by our own stolen tax money in the form of funds and powerful military equipment and materiel to restrain US. They tell US Social Security is going bankrupt, a scheme which we have unwillingly been paying into all our working lives, and not facing insolvency because of their unnecessary, unjust and costly wars to serve their political party interests, but because of OUR greed and selfishness. And how is pissing-off one sixth of the world's population and attacking them with nukes going to make US safer? Is this how our government intends to protect US and our future?

I'm sorry, but I must be having trouble with my eyes. I simply cannot see how the decider's reasoning is going to protect US from attack. If anything, his "logic" will do just the reverse. Not only are the attackee's interests served by retaliating against US, but ANY nation can now justify hitting US first, and with nukes, and FOR ANY REASON! Thanks Bushman! Bush is an aborigine dressed up in a Brooks Brothers' suit and wearing a $500 tie. The moron can't even efficiently operate a spear and bamboo shield, but he's got his finger on the red button of nuclear disaster! Thanks for setting US up as the New World Order's threat to all mankind! We're number one in the rogues' gallery of every post office in the world!

The American people are vulnerable to this Zionist moron and stooge because there is no free and independent press in America. Americans are vulnerable because they are divided against themselves by the many diverse factions and interest groups to which we all identify. And because of a tradition of illegal, Zionist-inspired gun control, the way is paved for the DC criminals to confiscate ALL guns door-to-door. The latter scheme was Hitler's, and it worked. And former Senator Thomas Dodd of Connecticut brought Hitler's gun control act of 1938 to America. It is Amerika's 1968 Gun Control Act. Get ready people ­ they'll be coming for them next!

America must join all anti-government, anti-war, and anti-Bush factions together, and unite as one people, and may even have to consider shutting down the country. This is how the Zionists [Communists and Bolsheviks] eventually brought down the Christian monarchy of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia. It worked for them! Perhaps if we were to advise the United States Congress of Criminals that since they are jumping through hoops backwards in protecting America's greatest arch criminal, we are going to consider them as accessories before, during and after the fact. America needs a national showdown between its contemptible rulers, and those who now wish to serve the great American people on a new battlefield of logic and reason.

The New World Order - Fact or Fantasy?

The New World Order

Is this scheme to establish a New World Order in fact a reality? Yes it is. If you do not believe this I encourage you to study the United Nations documents and also the treaties which, once ratified by individual nations, become INTERNATIONAL LAW. The United Nations created the Commission for Global Governance, if you don't believe this, visit the United Nations website and look it up.

The Commission for Global Governance released a report: Our Global Neighbourhood, that predicates a world court, a global tax, and global police force. And the U.S. State Department Publication 7277 outlines a one world police force under the United Nations. So many prominent world leaders are calling for a one world government the intention is obvious. Yet most people are so occupied by life's responsibilities, careers, sports and television, they have little time to study what's going on in the corridors of power.

The coming one world government is being set up in the political arena under the flag of the United Nations, through organizations such as the Trilateral Commission, Council of Foreign Relations, the Royal Institute of International Affairs, the Bilderbergers, and the Club of Rome whose members include many world leaders, media personalities and other influential people. The published goal of the Council of Foreign Relations for example is a one world government. And although most have never heard of many of these groups, they do exist, and they are very influential. The core of these groups hold to "illuminist" philosophy.

A second focus is economics with free trade agreements, the International Monetary Fund, World Bank and the Bank of International Settlements. The coming global monetary crisis is intended to institute a universal debt-based currency controlled by the International Financiers and issued to individuals against biometric identification cards. This is all about control!

The third area of focus is religion. Organizations like the World Council of Churches and the Parliament of World Religions were established to introduce a new world religion. It is based on a pantheistic/humanist philosophy. Pay careful attention when you study the documents and reports published by the United Nations and related organizations. This philosophy is now being taught in the education system and has been implemented under programs such as Goals 2000.

The New World Order will be SOCIALISM. Read the United Nations declarations and treaties for proof of this fact. The individual will be subservient to the state. Rights and power reside in and derive from the state, not the individual.

United Nations documents all speak of collectivism. They claim that private ownership and management of property is not to the benefit of the human race. These things are cloaked in a pleasant language, and most people are taken in and deceived. Yet few bother to study these documents.

In the New World Order you will be in serfdom to the controlling elite! You will have no liberty, and no rights. The State will look after you for your best interests. Do you see how the governments of the free world are slowly becoming more involved in everyday life? This is exactly what socialism is. The government becomes involved in every aspect of personal life. Today we require a license for so many things. In Australia, farmers now require permission to farm the land they own. This is not freedom.

In the New World Order, private ownership of property will be abolished. You will only own what you need "after all this is best for the world." "We need to be looked after."

Terms such as 'sustainable development' mean depopulation and serfdom. The masses continue to fall for lie after lie after lie. Study history and you will discover that there have been very few free societies. Those that were free were either overthrown or fell into the trap of socialism, totally unaware of the dangers until it was too late. Socialism (communism) is always implemented through deception. History portrays a repetitive phenomenon . . . enslavement-revolt-freedom-apathy-enslavement. Enslavement frequently followed revolution because the people did not realize that socialism was slavery, not freedom.

Today environment is being used to make people feel guilty, enticing them to accept socialism as necessary. The environmental movement has been co-opted to strip private ownership of control and exploitation of resources. Many environmental 'facts' are lies, exaggerations and unscientific claims to manipulate the masses in the classic Hegelian Dialectic: create the problem, create opposition to the problem, then present your own predetermined solution. Global warming is a perfect example.

I recommend reading the study, 'The Report From Iron Mountain,' which suggested the environment as a tool by which to manipulate the masses to accept loss of freedom to a one world government.

Although a landowner pays taxes, and is steward of his land, its usage is dictated by international bureaucrats, 'empowered' by vague treaties, driven by an insane 'theology', genocidal philosophy 'approved' by the bullying bribing tactics of governments.

"The United Nation's goal is to reduce population selectively by encouraging abortion, forced sterilization, and control human reproduction, and regards two-thirds of the human population as excess baggage, with 350,000 people to be eliminated per day." Jacques Cousteau, UNESCO Courier, November 1991.

Anyone who speaks against the incoming system will be labeled 'anti government' or a 'trouble maker', and either executed or imprisoned with majority assent. Citizens will support the new order because they will have been brainwashed by propaganda and will not understand what is really happening. Already in the United States those who support the Constitution, Patriots and the Militia groups are ridiculed as crazy paranoids and dangerous extremists. In Australia, it's the supporters of Pauline Hanson's One Nathion and Graham Campbell's Australia First Parties who are ridiculed and persecuted. These are merely people who are aware of what is going on. If you are one of those who believe that these patriots who are against globalism are crazy and deluded, I ask, have you ever spoken to one? Have you checked validity of their claims? or are you blindly following what the media feeds you?

Currently the United Nations is trying to establish the framework for an international criminal court. When this is established the United Nations will be able to detain anyone from any nation and bring them before a panel of judges who will hear the case and pass judgment. This international court will deal with are 'crimes against humanity' and 'environmental crimes.' If you think there is nothing wrong with this I suggest you read how the U.N. defines 'environmental crime.' A system is being created whereby those in control will be empowered to manufacture a crime and arrest anyone they deem a threat. The courts have no jury, one is guilty until proven innocent, and there is no appeal. Also, because this Court is international, and your nation has surrendered its authority, your own country cannot protect you. This is going to affect YOU directly!

In the coming world government YOU will have no personal liberty and no freedom. Did you know that the Global Biodiversity Assessment calls for human population to be reduced from 5.6 billion to 1 to 2 billion within the next decade? (reference GBA Section 9.2.3.2). You didn't see that on the six o'clock news, did you? Read the Declaration Towards a Global Ethic and learn what it classifies as 'authentically human.' This is a UNEP (United Nations Environmental Program) prepared by Hans Kung.

Learn how the United Nations define a 'hate crime.' Did you know for instance, that under Canadian law this website is classified as a 'hate' site? Pending U.N. legislation, and also 'Genocide Convention', classify this as a 'hate' site. However there is no hate whatsoever on this site, just a call for people to wake up to what is going on, and to receive God's Word. The only groups and/or people that I am against are those who believe in and seek to enforce socialism/Illuminism upon others.

Deskilling of Trades

People have slowly been deskilled in recent years. Mechanics no longer FIX a problem so much as they REPLACE the component. Body and fender men no longer beat panels so much as they replace plastic moldings. I am in a trade myself and my trade has been deskilled in similar ways. I have talked with other tradesmen and this is happening in all trades.

Of course technological progress will bring about change but deskilling goes far beyond this. For example many car parts now come as a complete totally enclosed unit, if a small part breaks down the whole unit must be replaced. Less skill is required to loosening a few screws and install a new unit than to repair the component. Yet it would be cheaper and less wasteful to fix the unit. This deskilling is intended to make the new society wholly dependent on the system. People will be unable to maintain private transport and will become dependent upon public infrastructure and the STATE. This is why small farming has been replaced with large scale operations. In Australia for instance, the farming industry has been all but destroyed. Most farmers are deep in debt because of rising interest rates (and all fiat money) and loss of markets due to the government programs of economic rationalism opening the doors to cheaper imported produce.

Many people have been lured into dependence on the state through welfare programs such as the single mother pensions. Such easily obtained benefits encourage people to rely upon government support. The more one is dependent upon the State the more one is bound to State rules. I am not against helping those who need support, I am trying to explain the principle involved. The welfare system is a plank towards socialism.

"A nation of well-informed men, who have been taught to know and prize the rights that God has given them cannot be enslaved. It is in the region of ignorance that tyranny begins!" Benjamin Franklin

All this is designed to destroy the existing world order from within to bring about a New World Order (a new way of doing things). The present order is based upon Christian principles. This foundation proved very successful. Contrast those nations built upon Christian foundation with nations that were established on a pagan or Islamic foundation. The Christian nations have had freedom, liberty and opportunity for all citizens, whether Christian or not. In these nations, the people have sovereign inalienable God-given rights, and government is responsible for protecting those rights. The rights of personal freedom, individual liberty and private property are granted by an authority higher than man, thus this authority cannot be overruled by men. This is the foundation upon which the United States was built. These are principles the Establishment has attempted to quash. At the other end of the spectrum we see the United Nations Charter and related documents wherein individual rights are a privilege granted by government. A big difference!!! If our individual rights are a privilege granted by the State, these individual rights can be taken away! Don't fall for the lie that they will not be. Every governing system that denies unalienable rights come from our Creator has been a system of slavery of the masses. The blood runs!

This Christian foundation has been intentionally eroded through mass manipulation and mind control techniques. Members of various secret societies in key positions in society have played a major role in this breakdown, gradually changing and enacting legislation, employing the media, religion and education, to move the ancient landmarks, and bring us closer to one world government. The way people view the world nowadays has been altered. They created the term 'generation gap.' Yet the generation gap is a lie and is not real. Human needs and nature remain remarkable constant, only technology changes.

You may be wondering why anyone would want to do this to society. You must understand what these people actually believe. It is all about religion and it matters little whether you believe their religion or not, they believe in it, so it is going to affect you!

Secret Societies and the New World Order

The plan to establish one world government is not new. It is a long established goal of those who practice the 'Mysteries'. The Mystery Religion is the oldest of all the world's religions. In fact all the worlds religions stem from the Mysteries except true Orthodox Judaism and true Biblical Christianity. The Mystery Religion stems back to ancient Babylon.

The Initiates of the Mysteries have a goal they term the 'Great Work.' They hold this to be a benevolent world dictatorship. It is the sort of benevolent dictatorship Adolf Hitler wanted. Adolf Hitler was himself an Illuminist and a member of the Thule Society. The entire SS were also initiates.

The 'Great Work' is a process of illuminating the human soul to a state of 'apotheosis'. It will be completed when the whole human race achieves this state. The Mysteries hold to the Platonic ideal wherein humanity is a singular organism. Adherents view humanity as one collective being, and the individual must sacrifice for the benefit of the whole. Yet the individuals in question are you and me.

Socialism and communism have their roots in the Mystery Religion. And despite what so-called experts may say, there is little difference between socialism and communism. The U.S.S.R. stood for the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

People are initiated into the Mysteries by degrees. Those who possess the correct attributes continue to rise to the higher degrees. This method of progression through initiation ensures the complete indoctrination of the initiate into the philosophical teaching of the Mysteries.

Who are these people? They are the members of all the various secret societies and fraternal organizations such as the Freemasons, Rosicrucians, Knights of Malta, Knights Templar, the Vatican and many many more. It should be stressed that the majority of the members of these secret societies are absolutely unaware of the true nature of their society, church or lodge. The higher initiates are known as the 'adepts' or 'keepers of the secrets of all ages.' The members may belong to any religion when they join the society, yet when they reach the higher echelons and become the adepts, I assure you they all practice the same religion.

One thing to remember with regards to these secret societies is that they are all the same at the higher levels. All the adepts belong collectively to what is known as the 'Illuminati' which means the 'illumined ones.' The Illuminati are those who have progressed through the various initiations in the particular branch of the Mystery Schools to which they belong until they have reached the stage of true illumination. Thus these people actually believe that what they are doing is right, just as Adolf Hitler thought that what he was doing was right and beneficial to humanity.

If you study back to the thirteenth century you will see that the Knights Templars were financiers. The International Financiers of today are still Knights Templars.

The worship of this religion is practiced in secret. The dogma and intentions of this religion are hidden by way of symbology. The average person sees the exoteric, outward or literal meaning of the symbols, while the Adept, Initiate or Illumined see the esoteric or hidden meaning of the symbol. For example if you study ancient history you will see that all the ancient cultures practiced sun worship. The average person (the uninitiated whom they term the 'profane') saw the sun in the exoteric and worshipped it as a god. While the High Priest saw the esoteric meaning and realized that the sun was only a symbol which represented a greater truth.

The sun actually represents the intellect and this is the doctrine or secret of the Mystery Religion. The moon represents the Church of the Mystery School and the stars represent the initiates. The moon does not shine with its own light but with the light of the sun. The Church of the Mysteries is itself lit up from the INTELLECT. The characters in the stories of ancient civilizations represented these objects. For example Osiris and Isis in Egypt represented the sun and the moon respectively.

The movie, "2001, A Space Odyssey" was an esoteric message to the body of initiates. Very few people understood its true meaning. It was not meant to be understood by the profane. But the Adepts of the Mystery Schools understood it perfectly.

The ancient stories of Babylonian, Egyptian and Greek mythology have more meaning than most people realize. Archeologists and historians only see the EXOTERIC and thus miss the whole point of what it all really means. When George Bush referred to a "Thousand Points of Light" in his speech in 1991 he was using the symbolic language and was referring to the body of initiates. When Bill Clinton in his State of the Union Address was speaking of about the "setting sun and then the dawning of the new era" he was also using symbolic language. The average person heard the exoteric meanings of these statements while initiates the world over smiled to themselves, as they understood the true meaning. You see George Bush is a member of the Order of Skull and Bones Society. Bill Clinton holds the 33rd degree in the Masonic lodge. Bob Dole, a Republican, is a 33rd degree Freemason. So it doesn't really matter for whom you vote, you are in effect voting for the Mysteries. These people and many others are all practitioners of the Mysteries and know exactly where the world is going. Many judges belong to secret societies. These people are everywhere and are all indoctrinated in the philosophy of the Mysteries.

<These people believe they have reached a higher point in their evolution (another deception) and have the necessary wisdom to rule the rest of mankind. They believe there are but a few mature minds in the world and that those with the mature intellect need to guide humanity. They consider themselves 'illumined.' All this is true and can be verified in their own writings, this is what they believe. Unless you are willing to open your mind and research this topic you will continue to be deceived.

The coming New World Order is based on an occult philosophy known as the 'Pure Luciferian Doctrine' or 'Illuminism.' The symbology for this religion is everywhere.

Unveiling of the Mystery Religion

This religions public unveiling is has been occurring for quite some time. Although the average person who sees only the exoteric (sic) so will miss it completely.

In Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, the 30th to 33rd degrees are degrees of Illumination, with the 33rd being the most sought after by the 'illumined man.' The 33rd degree is the highest publicly known degree in Freemasonry. The number 33 signifies 'Illumination' and freedom from religious dogma (superstition). The human backbone contains 33 vertebra with the cranium (intellect) on top.

The number 13 is also significant in the Mysteries. In the occult Gematria (number system) the number 6 represents man. The number 7 represents divine perfection or God. The Hebrew (Biblical) Gematria system is identical for these particular numbers. Thus it can be seen that the number 13 is a combination of man and divine perfection which is exactly what Illuminism actually is, man becomes a god. The York Rite of Freemasonry has 13 degrees (only 9 publicly). The Bavarian Order of Illuminati (Adam Weishaupt's branch) also had 13 degrees.

The obelisk, a phallic symbol pertaining to Osiris, is another important symbol in the mysteries and symbolizes the lost word of Freemasonry or the 'secret' of the Mysteries. The obelisk is a symbol of the sun god (intellect) or generative force. To understand this fully it is necessary to study the Osirian cycle but I will not go into that now.

Consider the following examples . . .

The Pope's cassock has 32 buttons and his head represents the 33rd.

If you look at the roof of the United Nations General Assembly you will see a large light circular light surrounded by 32 smaller lights.

On the United Nations symbol you will notice 13 leaves on the olive branch. The symbol for the Soviet Union has this feature as well as 32 rays emanating from the sun with the sun being the 33rd.

The Washington monument is an obelisk.

There is an obelisk at the Vatican surrounded by a circle. This represents the union of Osiris and Isis (exoteric) (sic). These two symbols are surrounded further out by 32 archways on each side of the courtyard, in all it is an outdoor temple of the Mystery Schools.

Examine the two Great Seals of the United States on the U.S. One Dollar Bill. Count the number of thirteens. On the eagle one wing has 32 sections while the other has 33. The symbology in these two seals is evident to all who understand the symbolic language.

13 inches is equal to 33 centimeters. Our measuring system originated in Masonic France in the 1790s.

666 divided by 212 Farenheit (boiling point of water) is equal approximately to PI (3.14...). Ice melts at 32 degrees Farenheit, corresponding with the degrees of illumination in the Masonic Lodge. D. Farenheit was most definitely a student of the occult.

Along with these few examples you will notice that many buildings (particularly those owned by foundations such as the Rockefeller Foundation) have symbology incorporated into their designs. Look out for symbols of the sun, pyramids, obelisks, the all seeing eye of Osiris, the circle with a dot in the middle, a snake in a circle biting its tale.

The list of symbology goes on and on, and is common in our civilization.

The UFO movement is laced with the Mysteries symbology. These people believe in aliens from other planets and are deceived because they do not understand the symbolic language. Were they to take time to seriously study what the theory of evolution actually teaches and the evidence upon which it is actually based, they would learn that life cannot evolve (I myself was stunned when I discovered this truth which upsets many people because of its philosophical implications, yet this is a provable fact!)

span >The New Age movement is full of the symbology, flick through the magazines in the New Age section of your newsagent or library. You will see the sun and other symbology everywhere. The New Age movement is a revival of occult mysticism which teaches that every human being can tap into their inner christ consciousness and become their own god. Yet because these people haven't studied history to find the roots of what they follow, they do not understand its true principles.

What I have explained here about the Mysteries is only a example of what is happening. Volumes could be written on this subject. The people who practice this religion are seated among the most influential in the world. I urge you to find out how many Presidents of the United States have belonged to the Masonic Lodge. Most of them have been Masons. Even the street plans of Canberra and Washington D.C. incorporate Masonic symbology.

I have learned from personal experience that most people when presented with this information dismiss it as a figment of the imagination of conspiracy theorists. The mass media and society in general hold to this view. Sadly, very few people think for themselves nowadays, and few are willing to check the validity of this information. However it is factual and may be readily verified from documentation in the public domain. But you must check it out it for yourself. World leaders, Established education and media will never bring light on this subject.

I find most people do not want TRUTH, they would prefer to feel comfortable. Most people do not want to learn any truth they fear may breach their comfort zone. Truth also tends to compromise their plans and preconceptions but if they ignore it, it may go away. And for the sake of pride, people don't like to admit to themselves that they have been deceived.

Human beings naturally hide from unpleasant realities which is why some women undergo cosmetic surgery as they get older, while women of all ages paint on the makeup to mask reality. People prefer fantasy and what feels good. This applies to those who refuse to investigate this particular world view I am expounding.

I consider myself a realist. I like to face up to the real world in which I live, not the fiction our political, economic and religious leaders would like us to believe.

When Adolf Hitler was building his power base in Germany some people woke up and realized what was going on. Some were sounding the alarm to what they saw happening, but these people were largely ignored. Some Jews listened and left the country. Some Germans listened and left. Those who ignored the warnings soon found themselves living in tyranny, and wondered how it could have happened. The same warning signs are being shouted from the rooftops in Australia and America today. Yet people are too busy with everyday things to stop and think. As in the 1930's, people are going to be shocked when they lose their freedoms.

"How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think" -- Adolf Hitler.

Every one who ignores what is going on will suffer for their indecision when plans and comfortable circumstances dissolve around them. Such people will be unable to avoid their fate because all avenues of escape will be closed. They will continue to be controlled and manipulated like a flock of sheep and know it not. They will be slaves! While those who have woken up and prepared both physically and spiritually will be in a far stronger situation, understanding what is happening and why. Troubled times will be upon us all, but is it not better to be informed and able to act, than ignorant, confused and lost?

Everything I have written above is truth I have established through documented research. It is not based on conjecture or personal beliefs. It is provable! I am not asking you to believe any of it but I am asking you to look into it for yourself. You will not regret the few hours spent at your local library. It's not my job to convince you, it is up to you to convince yourself. My task is just to put questions into your mind, encouraging you to think freely for them self.

Finally, all this may seem a somewhat negative, or even scary. But I assure you there is an answer and this answer is a positive answer. I was led to this answer through my research into the above information. If you truly have a heart and a hunger for the truth you will surely find the same answer.

I hope you found the preceding article interesting. For some well documented information I encourage you to take a look at the following link. . . .

A CHRONOLOGICAL HISTORY OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER

After studying the well documented quotes in that link please proceed to examine the United Nations treaties and declarations and spend time reading some of the books and articles on this Site so you may become more fully informed. I urge you to do your best and try to disprove this subject! You will find it proven.

Here is a link to a recommended reading list I have put together so that you may become more familiar with the topic. Recommended Reading. Please be aware that there is not a lot of time remaining for you to become aware of these issues. A global economic crisis is very near and the United Nations socialistic legislation is being enacted at breakneck speed.

"Ordo Ab Chao", a latin phrase meaning 'Order Out Of Chaos' and is the motto of the 33rd degree of the Masonic Lodge

"Those who wish to be ignorant and free, believe in something that never was and never shall be."

King James Bible 1611. I was led to this book through my research. I was an agnostic before I awoke to what is going on. I thank God for awakening me and cleaning up my life.

Baphomet cabalistically sets forth the aims of the Illuminati by combining two Greek words, baphe and metis, to mean "absorption into wisdom". The word is an also acronym for the title"Templi Omnium Hominem Pacis Abbas", or "Father of the Temple of Universal Peace", reversed. Thus "Tem O.H.P. Ab" becomes bAPHOmeT (Baphomet).

Baphomet is actually a symbolic representation of Luciferian divinity -- Satanael the evil brother of Jesus, who alone could enrich mankind (Genesis 3:1-5). The legendary god of the Knights Templar, it combines all of the animals and elements of nature and has it's roots in symbolic ability to visually portray the teachings of the neo-Platonists and Sabaean mysticism of the Middle East before the rise of Islam.

On the Day of Atonement, one goat (Jesus) was sacrificed, while its brother escaped and was banished from the congregation to bear Israel's sins into the wilderness (signifying the rest of the world). The great two-horned hermaphrodite goat bears between its horns the fiery torch and represents Moloch.** The pentacle or five-pointed star between the horns of the beast signifies energy and enlightenment or power in the world and separation from God. It is a symbol of ancient secret societies and the sign of the House of Rothschild and of International Communism.

The right hand of the beast is raised with two fingers pointing upwards to a white moon. The white moon stands for the Children of Shem. On the right forearm is written "SOLVE" which means break-up or dissolve (the Church). The left hand is pointing downwards with two fingers towards a black moon. The black moon stands for the Children of Ham. On the left forearm is written, "COAGULA", which means to drive together into one mass or lump -- a little serpent's seed can leaven the whole of Adam's race "as it did in the days of Noah". (It is the reconstruction of a New World Order under the Invisible Masters of Universal Judaeo-Masonry whose motto is "Out of Chaos, Order"). The beast is enthroned on the world. On the stomach can be seen part of a circle which stands for (the Jewish prophet) Zoroaster, the Seed of Fire. In front of the circle is an apple on a pole around which are entwined two serpents, signifying the forbidden fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. The serpent is Aesculapius, the god of medicine, worshipped in Pergamos in the form of a living serpent.

This design reveals the great secret -- the race of Shem and Japheth and his civilization are to be destroyed by miscegenation with Ham's offspring through Canaan. By accomplishing this, the Idumeans will gain control of the world for which they have worked for over two thousand years.

Eliaphas Levi, whose name appears on the picture, was the Abbe Alphonse Louis Constant, who became a cabalist, and wrote History of Magic.

The Babylonian Talmud (Pes. 113b) says: "Five things did Canaan charge his sons: love one another, love robbery, love lewdness, hate your masters, and do not speak the truth." For almost four thousand years these five points have been the modus operandi of the Caananite heirs who today control the World Order. Yet this is unknown to those whom the Canaanites continue to rob, enslave and massacre. These instructions are a command to commit genocide against the people of Shem and Christians.

The self-styled Jews only use Christian symbols either in derision or as a mask for their intrigues. . . . With reference to "the Temple of Solomon," Des Mousseaux says, "This Supreme and Invisible Hierarchy of the Masonic Lodges, and which are composed of Cabalistic Jews, signifies the reconstruction of the Jewish power over the ruin of Christianity" -- the solve and coagula of Illuminized Masonry. (Patriot, May, 1924).

Original article

------------------ Ma's commentary ----------------

Apparently, this author is not aware that he King James version of the Bible was written by a Mason, specifically changed to subvert Christianity!

** The author of this article is incorrect on this reference . The goat on the Day of Atonement is for Azazel, the demon (fallen angel) who gave the people knowledge of metallurgy and witchcraft. This goat is led away and bound with a crimson cord. Azazel is bound until the End Times with a scarlet cord until which time as he will be released and thrown into the lake of fire.
