WHAT QUESTION DID AMERICANS ASK AFTER PEARL HARBOR?

THE ROBERTS COMMISSION

1944: NAVAL COURT OF INQUIRY ARMY PEARL HARBOR BOARD

“Up to the morning of December 7, 1941, everything that the Japanese were planning to do was known to the United States.”—Army Pearl Harbor Board, 20 October 1944

THE PURPLE CODE

Joseph Grew, Ambassador to Japan J. Edgar Hoover, Director of FBI Brigadier Gen. Elliot Thorpe Colonel F.G.L. Weijerman Senator Guy Gillette Congressman Martin Dies

Admiral Yamamoto to Japanese First Air Fleet, November 26, 1941: “The task force, keeping its movement strictly secret and maintaining close guard against submarines and aircraft, shall advance into Hawaiian waters, and upon the very opening of hostilities shall attack the main force of the United States fleet and deal it a mortal blow. The first air raid is planned for the dawn of x-day. Exact date to be given by later order.”

WORLD WAR I

Grey: “What will America do if the Germans sink an ocean liner with American passengers on board?” House: “I believe that a flame of indignation would sweep the United States and that by itself would be sufficient to carry us into the war.”

“The Lusitania was deliberately sent at considerably reduced speed into an area where a U-boat was known to be waiting and with her escorts withdrawn.” --Commander Joseph Kenworthy

“I am reluctantly driven to the conclusion that there was a conspiracy to put the Lusitania at risk in the hopes that even an abortive attack on her would bring the United States into the War.” --Patrick Beesly

SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR

KOREAN WAR

HOW DID KIM-IL SUNG AND THE COMMUNISTS COME TO POWER IN NORTH KOREA?

APRIL 1944: “KOREA IN THE POSTWAR WORLD”

ACCIDENTS DO HAPPEN!

“Consistency has never been a mark of stupidity. If the diplomats who have mishandled our relations with Russia were merely stupid, they would occasionally make a mistake in our favor.” --James Forrestal

ACCIDENTS DO HAPPEN!

VIETNAM WAR

TONKIN GULF RESOLUTION (1964)

WAR IN IRAQ

"My colleagues, every statement I make today is backed up by sources, solid sources. These are not assertions. What we are giving you are facts and conclusions based on solid intelligence.... — Secretary of State Colin Powell to the UN Security Council, February 5, 2003 “Saddam Hussein and his weapons are a direct threat to this country, to our people, and to all free people.... I will not leave the American people at the mercy of the Iraqi dictator and his weapons." — President George W. Bush press conference, March 6, 2003

CONSERVATIVE ANTI-COMMUNIST PATRIOTIC CHRISTIAN

The word “Establishment” is a general term for the power elite in international finance, business, and government, who wield most of the power regardless of who is in the White House. Most people are unaware of the existence of this “legitimate Mafia.” Yet the power of the Establishment makes itself felt from the professor who seeks a foundation grant, to the candidate for a cabinet post or State Dept. job. It affects the nation’s policies in almost every area.” --Edith Kermit Roosevelt

of the people by the people for the people

Seven months before the Democratic National Convention, what percentage of registered Democrats favored Jimmy Carter for President?

Seven months before the Democratic National Convention, what percentage of registered Democrats favored Jimmy Carter for President? Less than 4%

“David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brzezinski found Jimmy Carter to be their ideal candidate. They helped win him the nomination and the Presidency. To accomplish this purpose, they mobilized the power of the Wall Street bankers and the media controllers.” --Barry Goldwater, With No Apologies

WHAT IS THE GOAL OF THE COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS?

"The main purpose of the Council on Foreign Relations is promoting the disarmament of U.S. sovereignty and national independence, and submergence into an all powerful one world government.” --Admiral Chester Ward

“foreign-policy fuzzy thinkers who worship world government.” --Boston Herald August 27, 1996

WORLD GOVERNMENT

“Obviously there is going to be no peace or prosperity for mankind so long as it remains divided into fifty or sixty independent states... The real problem today is that of world government.” --Philip Kerr, Foreign Affairs, 1922

“Obviously there is going to be no peace or prosperity for mankind so long as it remains divided into fifty or sixty independent states... The real problem today is that of world government.” --Philip Kerr, Foreign Affairs, 1922

WHO’S GOING TO RUN IT??

EXECUTIVE LEGISLATIVE JUDICIAL STATES

“The accumulation of all power in the same hands may be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” --James Madison

“Money makes the world go round.” “Follow the money.”

INFLATION

HOW DID THE FEDERAL RESERVE GET STARTED?

JEKYLL ISLAND

“There was an occasion near the close of 1910 when I was as secretive, indeed as furtive, as any conspirator. I do not feel it is any exaggeration to speak of our secret expedition to Jekyll Island as the occasion of the actual conception of the Federal Reserve System. We were told to leave our last names behind us. We were told further that we should avoid dining together on the night of our departure. We were instructed to come one at a time and as unobtrusively as possible to the

terminal of the New Jersey littoral of the Hudson, where Senator Aldrich's private car would be in readiness, attached to the rear end of the train for the South. Once aboard the private car, we began to observe the taboo that had been fixed on last names. Discovery, we knew, simply must not happen. If it were to be discovered that our particular group had got together and written a banking bill, that bill would have no chance whatever of passage by Congress.” --Frank Vanderlip

WHO IS AT THE MEETING???

PANIC OF 1907

WHY DID THEY WANT A CENTRAL BANK?

MOTIVE NUMBER 1: CONTROL OF THE STOCK MARKET

CONSPIRACY THEORY NUT

“This act establishes the most gigantic trust on Earth. When the President signs this act the invisible government by the money power, proven to exist by the money trust investigation, will be legalized. The money power overawes the legislative and executive forces of the nation. I have seen these forces exerted during the different stages of this bill.

From now on depressions will be scientifically created. The new law will create inflation whenever the trust wants inflation. If the trust can get a period of inflation, they figure they can unload stocks on the people at high prices during the excitement and then bring on a panic and buy them back at low prices. The people may not know it immediately, but the day of reckoning is only a few years removed.” ---Charles Lindbergh, Sr.

“It was not accidental. It was a carefully contrived occurrence. The international bankers sought to bring about a condition of despair here so that they might emerge as rulers of us all. When the Federal Reserve Act was passed, the people of these United States did not perceive that a world banking system was being set up here–a superstate controlled by international bankers acting together for their own pleasure.” -- Louis McFadden, chairman of the House Committee on Banking and Currency

“It was the calculated shearing of the public by the World Money powers.” --Curtis Dall

MOTIVE NUMBER 2: CREATION OF MONEY FROM NOTHING

$1 BILLON = $10 BILLION

WHO DID THEY WANT TO LOAN THE MONEY TO?

MOTIVE NO. 3: INTEREST ON LOANS TO THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT

HOW WILL THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT PAY BACK THE INTEREST?

WHO INTRODUCED THE INCOME TAX AMENDMENT?

WHY DID THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ACCEPT THE INCOME TAX?

$1 billion $25 billion

STUFF HAPPENS!

GOD DESIGNED THE WORLD

EVIL ALSO OCCURS BY DESIGN

+ INCOME TAX =

COMMUNIST MANIFESTO 2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax. 5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly

“Congress shall have the power to coin money and regulate the value thereof” --U.S. Constitution, Article 1, Section 8

WHO DOES WILSON APPOINT TO HEAD U.S. DELEGATION TO PARIS PEACE CONFERENCE?

WHO IS WILSON’S CHIEF ECONOMIC ADVISOR AT THE CONFERENCE?

“Practically nothing--not a single idea-- in the covenant of the League was original with the President.” --Ray Stannard Baker

Wilson “approved the House draft almost in its entirety, and his own rewriting of it was practically confined to phraseology.” --Charles Seymour

WHAT WERE THE BANKERS AFTER?

HOW DID AMERICA REACT TO THE VERSAILLES TREATY AND THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS?

HOW DO THE BANKERS RESPOND?

HOW DOES THE COUNCIL INFLUENCE AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY?

WHAT FOREIGN POLICY PROGRAMS HAS THE COUNCIL CREATED?

INFORMAL AGENDA GROUP

MARSHALL PLAN

WORLD BANK/IMF

WHAT IS THE PUPOSE OF THE WORLD BANK AND IMF?

“The New York banks have found important profit centers in lending to countries plunged into debt. This has been an essentially riskless game for the banks because the IMF and World Bank have stood ready to bail the banks out with our taxpayer’s money.” --Sen. Jesse Helms

“The World Bank and International Monetary Fund were not incubated by hard-pressed governments, but by a Supra-national Money Power which could afford to look ahead to the shaping of a postwar world that would serve its interest.” --A. K. Chesterton

QUAGMIRE

RULES OF ENGAGEMENT

WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS MESS?

“It is a legitimate American national objective to see removed from all nations-- including the United States--the right to use substantial military force to pursue their own interests. Since this right is the root of national sovereignty, it is therefore an American interest to see an end to nationhood as it has been historically defined.” -- Walt Rostow, The United States in the World Arena (1960)

TONKIN GULF RESOLUTION (1964)

WHAT CAUSED PRESIDENT JOHNSON TO ESCALATE THE WAR?

WHAT IS THE ESTABLISHMENT’S AGENDA TODAY?

TRADE WAR ON TERROR

NAFTA GATT WTO FTAA SPP

WHERE ARE ALL THE JOBS GOING?

TRADE DEFICIT 1994-$75 billion 1995-$103 billion

TRADE DEFICIT 1994-$75 billion 1995-$103 billion $711 billion

HOW MANY VOTES DOES AMERICA HAVE IN THE WTO?

WHO PAYS FOR THE WTO?

WHO CREATED THE WTO?

“They [multinational corporations and banks] have got the the Council on Foreign Relations up there in New York. If you ever run for President, they'll invite you. You can get out, you can get their contributions, you can get their support--I've been there, I know what I am talking about! But that is what our 'friend' David Rockefeller and all that got that steam together-- it's not about jobs, it’s about money! Well, they're getting rich and we're losing jobs! They are debilitating and destroying us!“ --Senator Ernest Hollings, chairman, Senate Commerce Committee

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE INTERNATIONAL TRADE ACCORDS?

"will represent the most creative step toward a new world order taken by any group of countries since the end of the Cold War." --Henry Kissinger on NAFTA

“Everything is in place -- after 500 years -- to build a true 'new world' in the Western Hemisphere.” --David Rockefeller on NAFTA

“NAFTA will signal the formation, however tentatively, of a new political unit—North America. With economic integration will come political integration. By whatever name, this is an incipient form of international government. Following the lead of the Europeans, North Americans should begin considering formation of a continental parliament.” --Andrew Reding, World Policy Institute

COMMON MARKET ↓ EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT ↓ EUROPEAN UNION

WHO WILL ULTIMATELY BE DEFINED AS A TERRORIST?

“There’s no real ideological difference between these people and the people who flew planes into the World Trade Center. One of the leaders of Operation Rescue once sent his followers a letter that concluded ‘Return to the training so that God may use you.’ Sound familiar?”—Anna Quindlen, Newsweek,

IS THERE A CONNECTION BETWEEN THE TRADE AGREEMENTS AND THE WAR ON TERROR?

“Security fears serve as a catalyst for deeper integration. That would require new structures to assure mutual security… The Department of Homeland Security should expand its mission to include continental security - - a shift best achieved by incorporating Mexican and Canadian perspectives and personnel into its design and operation.” --Robert Pastor, Foreign Affairs

“President Bush signed a formal agreement that will end the United States as we know it, and he took the step without approval from either the U.S. Congress or the people of the United States.”—Lou Dobbs, CNN,

ARE REGIONAL BLOCS (EU, SPP) ENDS IN THEMSELVES?

"Populations will more readily abandon their national loyalties to a vague regional loyalty than they will for a world authority. Later, the regionals can be brought all the way into a single world dictatorship.“ --Joseph Stalin

"We cannot leap into world government in one quick step. The precondition for genuine globalization is progressive regionalization.” --Zbigniew Brzezinski

First Amendment Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

“We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time magazine, and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during these years. But the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government which will never again know war but only peace and prosperity.” –David Rockefeller,
