We are in the middle of
a war. We are
being attacked by a relatively small number of people, many of
whom have been able to acquire great wealth and power… or
hope to do so. Their
mercenaries are various governments, corporations, and
militaries – including our own US government/military/
industrial complex. They
are working to control as much of the earth’s people and
resources as they can. In
the process, they commit unconscionable crimes without regard
for what in the world gets destroyed or who in the world gets
hurt. It is
war in every sense of the word.
The war, however, is not between nations (although it
sometimes looks like it is), but rather it’s a war of
aggression, initiated by a minority of powerful people,
motivated by greed, to achieve power, wealth and universal
domination over everyone else.
The
aggressors in this war probably don’t think of themselves as
being at war, or even as being motivated by greed… and yet
they plot to take control of governments, or to manipulate
them; they appropriate resources beyond any personal need they
might ever have; they externalize their costs to society; they flout
the rule of law, and ignore the right of other people (who
they intend to subjugate), to live with dignity; and they do
all this without any sense of guilt, remorse, or
responsibility for other human beings, the planet at large, or
its life support systems.
The weapons
in their arsenal are the usual hardware of death but also
established and recently invented tools and institutions of economic destruction and
manipulation (e.g., The Fed, The World Bank, Bank of
International Settlements, International Monetary Fund, NATO,
Hedge Funds, etc.). The
defeated are injured, killed, stripped of their rights, their
possessions, leading to a forced retirement of poverty or hard
labor at subsistence wages. Little
by little the ranks of the defeated are growing as the victors
continue to usurp the strength, wealth, and power of those
they target.
A main
strategy of the aggressors is to corrupt government officials
with bribes or threats and mislead citizens with calculated
lies and disinformation in order to unravel the
fabric of society, its institutions, and its cultural
framework, causing social disintegration and chaos.
Governments are crippled as elected officials commit
treason, some unwittingly, as they transfer their loyalty from
their citizen constituents to the would-be conquerors…
pursuing money and power, obstructing justice, disrespecting
their Constitutions and destroying the rule of law.
This war is a
world war. The
front line is wherever in the world there are valuable
resources to appropriate or labor to be marginalized or
controlled.
World
conquest now is already in sight with the steady, incremental
overthrow of the US government and its people, the control of
media, and control over the world’s supreme military
power… all to satisfy the ambitions of an elite few.
If this
sounds like a conspiracy theory, it very much is, and as with
any theory, it can be tested.
In my view, the evidence is overwhelming.
You can find this evidence at my website (www.gpln.com),
which includes a body of research that takes various forms,
offered by experts and others, which has taken me years to
accumulate. It
includes political commentary that I and others wrote
including front line reporters who have been personal
witnesses to history as it unfolds.
On my website you will find links to most of the
sources I reference; and at the websites where those
references can be found, you will find even more evidence.
Of course if
you never look, you will never find the accumulated evidence
I’m talking about. It took years to accumulate this
information, so it will take patience and resolve to review
any substantial part of it.
Soon there
might be no need for stealth in the overthrow of the US
government, for the conquest will be complete and all pretense
of political freedom for citizens swept away.
People with conscious and purposeful intent have
brought us to the brink of destruction; so it's possible for
other people with conscious and purposeful intent to stem the
tide and return us to progress and sanity, given that there's
more of us than there is of them.
As I see it
each of us has three choices:
you can align yourself with the aggressors, you can
align yourself with those trying to defend themselves against
the aggressors, or you can sit on the sidelines, remain an
uninvolved observer, and take your chances on how it will all
turn out… in which case you will likely end up either a
victim of the war being waged against you, or a beneficiary of
other people’s courage and determination to put more sanity
into human relations.
A few
clues that point to, or suggest, the danger I describe... are:
-
The Constitution has been corrupted; its central
themes, such as habeas corpus have been cancelled, the
right to privacy has been dismantled, the right to a fair
trial is compromised, equal protection under the law is
erased, and nearly every part of the Constitution has been
violated by our own government with very little resistance
from ordinary citizens.
-
Law enforcement has been militarized, its ranks
infiltrated by corrupted functionaries so that rather than
protect citizen’s rights and the rule of law,
many law enforcement officers now enforce whatever orders
their superiors issue, whether those orders are
constitutional or not.
-
Tax laws are skewed to favor the aggressors,
creating perhaps the widest gap between the rich and the
poor in US history.
-
Regulatory impediments to the use of predatory
strategies by financial institutions and corporate
entities that strip ordinary citizens of their rights,
health, well-being and financial security have largely
been removed.
-
Many states are at or near bankruptcy and as such
are being forced to abandon those very state sponsored benefits that the majority of citizens value
most.
-
Medicaid benefits have been reduced along with
other community sponsored programs as more citizens find
themselves in need of them.
Bankruptcy, homelessness, and destitution stalk
citizens and their loved ones who have inadequate health
care and other social benefits.
The United States is the only major economy that
doesn’t offer healthcare to all citizens free of charge
or at nominal cost.
-
A large percentage of the population has been
illegally forced out of their homes while the public
treasury has been plundered by the fraudulent acts of a
wealthy few with the help of our government.
-
Public assets and infrastructure are being sold off
to private interests so that citizens will now have to pay
exorbitant fees for public services that used to be
offered to all citizens free or charge or at nominal cost.
-
Educational opportunities for our youth have been
downgraded so that America's children will be increasingly
less prepared to cope with modern life than those educated
in years past. The
cost of higher education has gone through the roof,
forcing many who attend college to enter debt peonage upon
graduation which could last decades if not their entire
lifetimes.
-
Whistle-blowers and other citizens who attempt to
warn the public of institutional fraud and abuse are being
persecuted as if they were the criminals, while those who
are the real corrupting influence on legitimate government
are allowed to continue their work and go free.
-
.
The concept of free speech has been reduced
to a mockery as large corporate distributors of public
information censor and filter what the public can see and
hear. Protestors
and dissidents are relegated to places where they are not
likely to be seen or heard. Police
brutality is increasingly ignored while basic rights of
citizens are increasingly violated.
-
Real
participation in political affairs is limited to those who
have great wealth and power such as corporations which
have been given the legal status of people.
This allows them to launch large public relations
campaigns which misinform the public about important
issues and drown out the voices and preferences of others
who lack the funds to carry out campaigns that distribute
honest information that citizens need to intelligently
govern themselves.
-
The United States has the largest prison population
in the world and yet those who commit the most heinous
crimes are often not prosecuted at all or are given
sentences much lower than those who committed very minor
crimes in comparison.
-
Third parties are effectively excluded from
mainstream political life.
Citizens must choose between two political parties,
both of which are corrupted and unable or unwilling to
reform themselves.
-
The United States spends more of its wealth on war and
weapons than almost all other nations combined, far beyond any
real need or usefulness, thereby displacing the funding
for programs that could could benefit and improve the
lives of ordinary citizens.
-
The rich are getting fabulously richer while the
poor are getting grossly poorer while the middle class is
being wiped out. Even
though it is widely known that the lack of government
oversight was a major cause of the fraud that nearly
brought our economy to its knees, nothing of substance is
being done to eliminate the risk of similar debacles in
the future. The
disparities in income and wealth are so great that
democratic government is all but impossible to maintain...
which validates the efficacy of the winning
strategy that those who prosecute this war have chosen.
The Answers to our problems
are readily available whenever citizens are ready and willing
to embrace them.
Here’s a place
to start: www.gpln.com/theanswer.htm
Couldn’t be
simpler. Maybe
that’s why most people can’t see it… or don’t want to
see it. In any
event, I believe all solutions require people to act
appropriately to what they come to know is true… if they
want to avoid enormous loss, pain, and
sorrow. But, of course, that's the whole point of
seeking wisdom and intellectual integrity... to discover how to act appropriately.
