Thanks for your critical feedback. The New World Order as I define it was a Nazi cabal that was trying to start World War 3 in order to set up a totalitarian one-world government.

My understanding is that they have been defeated and that plans for WW3 have been stopped. My contacts in the pentagon and the agencies make it very clear they will disobey any orders to attack American citizens or put them in concentration camps.

That does not mean that all is well, however, because the Old World Order faction the NWO was fighting is still in power in many countries, notably the US. That is why we are now moving to phase two of our two-pronged campaign against the fascist forces.

That is all I can say right now because we do not want to tip our hand.
Also, I would like point out that I am sick and tired of critics like you who scold us for not doing any more than we are (at the very real risk to our lives) while you sit at home and do nothing but be an arm-chair quarterback. If you feel impatient, start taking direct, personal action.

In any case it is not over until it is over but my understanding is that huge funds will soon be made available to finance a campaign to end poverty and stop environmental destruction.

Please make sure this message returns to Fulford. Herein referred to as the "wanker".
No doubt, this story again. is placed on the fact that you and your contacts are going to save the world. Hmm yummy. Bring it on.
Ow ok yeh right. As with all bull ****ers there is always a reason it didn't happen today. A bit like the NASA excuses. A Disney land of "bollocks" for the masses and you want some.

WE the people have taken enough. WE are global. WE ain't stupid!

WE want change and it isn't going to be Judaic. WE will overcome this affront on our liberties. Many will die in this accomplishment. WE will prevail.

Mr Fulford, sort your arse out, ensure your dragons move in unison and the globe will support you. Otherwise, guard yourself from the most serious recriminations.

Got to land here...
Some of us have been in that kitchen where the heat can be lethal, that is, openly make statements concerning peoples whose sole priority is first to maintain their power lead and second to even expanded it.

In face of those group of people a target denunciation is indeed jeopardizing with your own serenity and yes sometimes with your own Life. When you step in this film, it ain't cinema, there are not many good guys and I've never seen any cavalry coming and saving one's authentic, duly corroborated statements. You become a ''soft target'', this ain't back benched coach world, As for Ben statements that www3 has been postponed and might indeed be avoided, well I second that even if I did what I had to do as a promoter of reducing morbidity and mortality in crisis and looked quite stupid for crying wolf. Yes this full cup of greed that some long for has been taken away.

Despite this it ain't game over IMHO, but we got to keep the pace. Now is the time to persevere, Focus tenacity and nurture the patient state of Being.

Whether Fulford and his dragons deliver is one thing but I can assure the "common" populist belief in your opinion SnowyOwl; that is the sentiment of us ALL. As I'm the opinion of as well:-)

(ps love the average word length too, lots of bamboozlement for the average reader)

Though the closeted inference concerning sole priority maintaining secular authority does concern me. Whilst Fulford appears to pronounce viable change, admirable to his words, the impact of change is now prevalent by the actual changes in National Laws and does not relate to, in fact inversely reflects, the intentions of the dragons promises.

Am quite sure we agree on global peace and tranquility though I suspect we must negotiate the means of its inception.

[SnowyOwl]

Good Evening SnowEagle

Quote ''Am quite sure we agree on global peace and tranquility though I suspect we must negotiate the means of its inception.''

Well this is Great coz you implicitly agree that negotiations are a necessity as for the means of its inception.

Can we agree that the Ends do not justify the Means ??

[Snoweagle]

Whilst not absolute, nor unreserved, I do contend negotiation is a forum major that will both satisfy the Corporatised Elite and also the global populace.

Whilst I secretly HOPE that Fulford is a mouthpiece for change, I have little FAITH in actions that will provide any form of CHARITable change.

I agree, the ENDS do not justify the MEANS as they are currently manifesting.

From an Avian point of View, SnowEagles has the best far Sight in Northern States of US and Southern Provinces of Canada.
I have notice from previous posts that the Eagle Spirit sometimes indeed sketch its intimate lectures from Sights.

As for SnowyOwls, we are the silent 270 degrees Sighters and silently in the dark we Fly.

I have never witness Real confrontation in Avians Realm between SnowEagles and SnowyOwls since we are doing what we have to do in different time frame... although I must admit that in das Spring Worms Moon, SnowyEagles woke up early and SnowyOwls do some overtime.

But again SnowEagle do we agree that the Ends do not justify the Means ??

Some Definitions of Rhetoric

Plato: Rhetoric is "the art of winning the soul by discourse."

Aristotle:Rhetoric is "the faculty of discovering in any particular case all of the available
means of persuasion.

Cicero: "Rhetoric is one great art comprised of five lesser arts: inventio, dispositio,
elocutio, memoria, and pronunciatio." Rhetoric is "speech designed to
persuade."

Quintillian: "Rhetoric is the art of speaking well."

Francis Bacon: Rhetoric is the application of reason to imagination "for the better
moving of the will."

George Campbell: [Rhetoric] is that art or talent by which discourse is adapted to its
end. The four ends of discourse are to enlighten the understanding, please
the imagination, move the passion, and influence the will.

A. Richards: Rhetoric is the study of misunderstandings and their remedies.

Kenneth Burke: "Rhetoric is rooted in an essential function of language itself, a

function that is wholly realistic and continually born anew: the use of
language as a symbolic means of indjcing cooperation in beings
that by nature respond to symbols."

"Wherever there is persuasion, there is rhetoric, and wherever there is
rhetoric, there is meaning."

Richard Weaver: Rhetoric is that "which creates an informed appetition for the good."

Erika Lindemann: "Rhetoric is a form of reasoning about probabilities, based on
Assumptions people share as members of a commununity."

Andrea Lunsford: "Rhetoric is the art, practice, and study of human communication."

Francis Christensen: "Grammar maps out the possible; rhetoric narrows the possible
down to the desirable or effective." "The key question for rhetoric is how
to know what is desirable."

Sonja and Karen Foss: "Rhetoric is an action human beings perform when they use
symbols for the purpose of communicating with one another . . , [and
it] is a perspective humans take that involves focusing on symbolic
processes."

1. Boethius: Confessions (Howell's translation)

Rhetoric treats of and discourses upon hypotheses, that is, questions with a multitude of surroundings in time and place, and if at any time it brings up a thesis, it uses it in connection with its hyposthesis. These are its surroundings: Who? What? Where? By whose help? Why? In what manner? At what time?


2. James J. Murphy: "One Thousand Neglected Authors"

A rhetorician is someone who provides his fellows with useful precepts or directions for organizing and presenting his ideas or feeling to them. (20)


3. Marc Fumaroli: "Rhetoric, Politics and Society"

Rhetoric appears as the connective tissue peculiar to civil society and to its proper finalities, happiness and political peace hic et nunc. (253-4)


4. Kenneth Burke: A Rhetoric of Motives

The most characteristic concern of rhetoric [is] the manipulation of men's beliefs for political ends....the basic function of rhetoric [is] the use of words by human agents to form attitudes or to induce actions in other human agents. (41)


From <http://campus.northpark.edu/english/rhetdef.htm>:


5. Covino and Joliffe:Rhetoric: Concepts, Definitions, Boundaries (1995)

Rhetoric is primarily a verbal, situationally contingent, epistemic art that is both philosophical and practical and gives rise to potentially active texts.


6. Paolo Valesio: Novantiqua (1980)

I specify now that rhetoric is the functional organization of discourse, within its social and cultural context, in all its aspects, exception made for its realization as a strictly formal metalanguage--in formal logic, mathematics, and in the sciences whose metalanguages share the same features. In other words: rhetoric is all of language, in its realization as discourse.


7. George Kennedy: "A Hoot in the Dark" (1992)

Rhetoric in the most general sense may perhaps be identified with the energy inherent in communication: the emotional energy that impels the speaker to speak, the physical energy expanded in the utterance, the energy level coded in the message, and the energy experienced by the recipient in decoding the message.


From <http://english.ttu.edu/smith/rhetoric/definitions.asp>:

8. Francis Bacon (1561-1626): Advancement of Learning

The duty and office of rhetoric is to apply reason to imagination for the better moving of the will.


9. Bender and Wellbery:

...that sea of communicative transactions…the impersonal drama of what occurs among us, unnoticed and without deliberation or grandeur…the dense tangle of our triviality.


10. Lloyd Bitzer: "The Rhetorical Situation" (1968)

In short, rhetoric is a mode of altering reality, not by the direct application of energy to objects, but by the creation of discourse which changes reality through the mediation of thought and action.


11. Edward T. Channing: Lectures Read to the Seniors at Harvard College (c. 1856)

[Rhetoric is] a body of rules derived from experience and observation, extending to all communication by language and designed to make it efficient. It does not ask whether a man is to be a speaker or writer, --a poet, philosopher, or debater; but simply,--is it his wish to be put in the right way of communicating his mind with power to others, by words spoken or written. If so, rhetoric undertakes to show him rules or principles which will help to make the expression of his thoughts effective.


12. Douglas Ehninger (1972):

[Rhetoric is] that discipline which studies all of the ways in which men may influence each other's thinking and behavior through the strategic use of symbols.


13. Gerard A. Hauser: Introduction to Rhetorical Theory (1986)

Rhetoric is an instrumental use of language…. One person engages another person in an exchange of symbols to accomplish some goal. It is not communication for communication's sake. Rhetoric is communication that attempts to coordinate social action. For this reason, rhetorical communication is explicitly pragmatic. Its goal is to influence human choices on specific matters that require immediate attention.


14. C. H. Knoblauch: "Modern Rhetorical Theory and Its Future Directions" (1985)

...rhetoric is the process of using language to organize experience and communicate it to others. It is also the study of how people use language to organize and communicate experience. The word denotes…both distinctive human activity and the "science" concerned with understanding that activity.


15. John Locke: Essay Concerning Human Understanding (1690)

[Rhetoric,] that powerful instrument of error and deceit.


16. McCloskey:

...merely speech with designs on the reader.


From <http://www.gsu.edu/~wwwrnc/rhetdef.htm>:

17. Anonymous:

Rhetoric is the science which refreshes the hungry, renders the mute articulate, makes the blind to see, and teaches one to avoid every lingual ineptitude.

18. Bazerman, Charles:

The study of how people use language and other symbols to realize human goals and carry out human activities . . . ultimately a practical study offering people great control over their symbolic activity.

Shaping Written Knowledge: The Genre and Activity of the Experimental Article in Science. Madison U of Wisconsin P, 1988. 6.


19. Hyde, Michael and Craig Smith

The primordial function of rhetoric is to "make-known" meaning both to oneself and to others. Meaning is derived by a human being in and through the interpretive understanding of reality. Rhetoric is the process of making known that meaning. Is not rhetoric defined as pragmatic communication, more concerned with the contemporary audiences and specific questions than with universal audiences and general questions (360)?

[Snoweagle]

Far from the darkness do you fly Snowy, as without cooperative dialogue will we attain fulfillment. Seeking refuge on quotes from literary pundits serves only to curb inadequacies in argument. Though that isn't the purpose of this dialogue. I am not in favour of the promotion of Fulford or the dragons as saviours. The premise involved here, with Fulford, raises HOPES for many yet is entirely unsubstantiated or yet unverifiable.

I therefore contest, the ENDS do not verify the MEANS as they currently manifest on the world stage. In this I believe we do agree.

However, we seem to disagree on the viability of the Fulford information, after all, that's all it is, hot air. Should anything positive come of his rhetoric then I will gladly eat humble pie, though sadly I do not see that happening.
Whether we can exclude Monopoly, Cartels, Diktats from Groups or Individuals is an arbitrary argument as these are inherent causes or vehicles of common disenfranchisement of the global populace. Every single nation listed at the UN have been assaulted in some way by this NWO oligarchy, so hearing Fulford with lack lustre promises at the eleventh hour is quite pathetic and quite disturbing in the fact that he is being believed by many cowering at the sideline.

Believe me when I say I want him to be genuine. So do many others. Though in my heart I believe him to be nothing more than a false prophet and to be castigated. I only wish I would be wrong.

ps thanks for the great links to notable writers and orators

[SnowyOwl]

I do agree SnowEagle that Fulford has not enshrined truth. Fulford is a beacon of Asiatic ''State of Being'' remember History, Asia when has no perspectives has not in its culture ''Negotiation'' it generate a Fatal blowing motion that leaves only ashes, desolation and death. Neo-Conquistdors, NWO, greedies, multinational, Empire must be hold back from within coz it is inevitable we will just vanish. We, Occident are the nasty ones in this story, it is our responsibility, our unavoidable duty to tier down this monstrous gargantuan avid wild beast that we nourish day after day for centuries.

Shredding this denial spirit, this rhetoric fallacious illusion of Occident is now a must. Further denials from our part will be our Boomerang of Fairness in accordance to our hideous acts. Everything else is futile and will only deepen our misery, our extinctions. Remember the genocide, the ethnic cleansing, the interment in reserve of the Real Americans, not the Europeans of the United-Statians. The return of the boomerang is unavoidable, History is Impartial.

In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts?

DR. GABOR MATÉ: Well, it’s a Buddhist phrase. In the Buddhists’ psychology, there are a number of realms that human beings cycle through, all of us. One is the human realm, which is our ordinary selves. The hell realm is that of unbearable rage, fear, you know, these emotions that are difficult to handle. The animal realm is our instincts and our id and our passions.

Now, the hungry ghost realm, the creatures in it are depicted as people with large empty bellies, small mouths and scrawny thin necks. They can never get enough satisfaction. They can never fill their bellies. They’re always hungry, always empty, always seeking it from the outside. That speaks to a part of us that I have and everybody in our society has, where we want satisfaction from the outside, where we’re empty, where we want to be soothed by something in the short term, but we can never feel that or fulfill that insatiety from the outside. The addicts are in that realm all the time. Most of us are in that realm some of the time. And my point really is, is that there’s no clear distinction between the identified addict and the rest of us. There’s just a continuum in which we all may be found. They’re on it, because they’ve suffered a lot more than most of us.

AMY GOODMAN: Can you talk about the biology of addiction?

DR. GABOR MATÉ: For sure. You see, if you look at the brain circuits involved in addiction — and that’s true whether it’s a shopping addiction like mine or an addiction to opiates like the heroin addict — we’re looking for endorphins in our brains. Endorphins are the brain’s feel good, reward, pleasure and pain relief chemicals. They also happen to be the love chemicals that connect us to the universe and to one another.

Now, that circuitry in addicts doesn’t function very well, as the circuitry of incentive and motivation, which involves the chemical dopamine, also doesn’t function very well. Stimulant drugs like cocaine and crystal meth, nicotine and caffeine, all elevate dopamine levels in the brain, as does sexual acting out, as does extreme sports, as does workaholism and so on.

Now, the issue is, why do these circuits not work so well in some people, because the drugs in themselves are not surprisingly addictive. And what I mean by that is, is that most people who try most drugs never become addicted to them. And so, there has to be susceptibility there. And the susceptible people are the ones with these impaired brain circuits, and the impairment is caused by early adversity, rather than by genetics.

AMY GOODMAN: What do you mean, “early adversity”?

DR. GABOR MATÉ: Well, the human brain, unlike any other mammal, for the most part develops under the influence of the environment. And that’s because, from the evolutionary point of view, we developed these large heads, large fore-brains, and to walk on two legs we have a narrow pelvis. That means — large head, narrow pelvis — we have to be born prematurely. Otherwise, we would never get born. The head already is the biggest part of the body. Now, the horse can run on the first day of life. Human beings aren’t that developed for two years. That means much of our brain development, that in other animals occurs safely in the uterus, for us has to occur out there in the environment. And which circuits develop and which don’t depend very much on environmental input.

When people are mistreated, stressed or abused, their brains don’t develop the way they ought to. It’s that simple. And unfortunately, my profession, the medical profession, puts all the emphasis on genetics rather than on the environment, which, of course, is a simple explanation. It also takes everybody off the hook.

AMY GOODMAN: What do you mean, it takes people off the hook?

DR. GABOR MATÉ: Well, if people’s behaviors and dysfunctions are regulated, controlled and determined by genes, we don’t have to look at child welfare policies, we don’t have to look at the kind of support that we give to pregnant women, we don’t have to look at the kind of non-support that we give to families, so that, you know, most children in North America now have to be away from their parents from an early age on because of economic considerations. And especially in the States, because of the welfare laws, women are forced to go find low-paying jobs far away from home, often single women, and not see their kids for most of the day. Under those conditions, kids’ brains don’t develop the way they need to.

And so, if it’s all caused by genetics, we don’t have to look at those social policies; we don’t have to look at our politics that disadvantage certain minority groups, so cause them more stress, cause them more pain, in other words, more predisposition for addictions; we don’t have to look at economic inequalities. If it’s all genes, it’s all — we’re all innocent, and society doesn’t have to take a hard look at its own attitudes and policies.

AMY GOODMAN: Can you talk about this whole approach of criminalization versus harm reduction, how you think addicts should be treated, and how they are, in the United States and Canada?

DR. GABOR MATÉ: Well, the first point to get there is that if people who become severe addicts, as shown by all the studies, were for the most part abused children, then we realize that the war on drugs is actually waged against people that were abused from the moment they were born, or from an early age on. In other words, we’re punishing people for having been abused. That’s the first point.

The second point is, is that the research clearly shows that the biggest driver of addictive relapse and addictive behavior is actually stress. In North America right now, because of the economic crisis, a lot of people are eating junk food, because junk foods release endorphins and dopamine in the brain. So that stress drives addiction.

Now imagine a situation where we’re trying to figure out how to help addicts. Would we come up with a system that stresses them to the max? Who would design a system that ostracizes, marginalizes, impoverishes and ensures the disease of the addict, and hope, through that system, to rehabilitate large numbers? It can’t be done. In other words, the so-called “war on drugs,” which, as the new drug czar points out, is a war on people, actually entrenches addiction deeply. Furthermore, it institutionalizes people in facilities where the care is very — there’s no care. We call it a “correctional” system, but it doesn’t correct anything. It’s a punitive system. So people suffer more, and then they come out, and of course they’re more entrenched in their addiction than they were when they went in.

AMY GOODMAN: I’m curious about your own history, Gabor Maté.

DR. GABOR MATÉ: Yeah.

AMY GOODMAN: You were born in Nazi-occupied Hungary?

DR. GABOR MATÉ: Well, ADD has a lot to do with that. I have attention deficit disorder myself. And again, most people see it as a genetic problem. I don’t. It actually has to do with those factors of brain development, which in my case occurred as a Jewish infant under Nazi occupation in the ghetto of Budapest. And the day after the pediatrician — sorry, the day after the Nazis marched into Budapest in March of 1944, my mother called the pediatrician and says, “Would you please come and see my son, because he’s crying all the time?” And the pediatrician says, “Of course I’ll come. But I should tell you, all my Jewish babies are crying.”

Now infants don’t know anything about Nazis and genocide or war or Hitler. They’re picking up on the stresses of their parents. And, of course, my mother was an intensely stressed person, her husband being away in forced labor, her parents shortly thereafter being departed and killed in Auschwitz. Under those conditions, I don’t have the kind of conditions that I need for the proper development of my brain circuits. And particularly, how does an infant deal with that much stress? By tuning it out. That’s the only way the brain can deal with it. And when you do that, that becomes programmed into the brain.

And so, if you look at the preponderance of ADD in North America now and the three millions of kids in the States that are on stimulant medication and the half-a-million who are on anti-psychotics, what they’re really exhibiting is the effects of extreme stress, increasing stress in our society, on the parenting environment. Not bad parenting. Extremely stressed parenting, because of social and economic conditions. And that’s why we’re seeing such a preponderance.

So, in my case, that also set up this sense of never being soothed, of never having enough, because I was a starving infant. And that means, all my life, I have this propensity to soothe myself. How do I do that? Well, one way is to work a lot and to gets lots of admiration and lots of respect and people wanting me. If you get the impression early in life that the world doesn’t want you, then you’re going to make yourself wanted and indispensable. And people do that through work. I did it through being a medical doctor. I also have this propensity to soothe myself through shopping, especially when I’m stressed, and I happen to shop for classical compact music. But it goes back to this insatiable need of the infant who is not soothed, and they have to develop, or their brain develop, these self-soothing strategies.

AMY GOODMAN: How do you think kids with ADD, with attention deficit disorder, should be treated?

DR. GABOR MATÉ: Well, if we recognize that it’s not a disease and it’s not genetic, but it’s a problem of brain development, and knowing the good news, fortunately — and this is also true for addicts — that the brain, the human brain, can develop new circuits even later on in life — and that’s called neuroplasticity, the capacity of the brain to be molded by new experience later in life — then the question becomes not of how to regulate and control symptoms, but how do you promote development. And that has to do with providing kids with the kind of environment and nurturing that they need so that those circuits can develop later on.

That’s also, by the way, what the addict needs. So instead of a punitive approach, we need to have a much more compassionate, caring approach that would allow these people to develop, because the development is stuck at a very early age.

AMY GOODMAN: You began your talk last night at Columbia, which I went to hear, at the law school, with a quote, and I’d like you to end our conversation with that quote.

DR. GABOR MATÉ: Would that be the quote that only in the presence of compassion will people allow themselves—

AMY GOODMAN: Mahfouz.

DR. GABOR MATÉ: Oh, oh, no, yeah, Naguib Mahfouz, the great Egyptian writer. He said that "Nothing records the effects of a sad life” so completely as the human body — “so graphically as the human body.” And you see that sad life in the faces and bodies of my patients.

AMY GOODMAN: Dr. Gabor Maté, author of In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction. He’s a bestselling author. He’s a physician in Canada.
In that first interview, we touched briefly on his work on attention deficit disorder, the subject of his book Scattered: How Attention Deficit Disorder Originates and What You Can Do about It. Well, just about a month ago, we had Dr. Maté back on Democracy Now! to talk more about ADD, as well as parenting, bullying, the education system, and how a litany of stresses on the family environment is leading to what he calls the "destruction of the American childhood."

This troubles me greatly when to endorse preference of opinion other than personal comment one resorts to quoting reams of IRRELEVANCY as support which is quite unnecessary.

We are conjoined in discussion regarding the Fulford posts or releases. Quoting chapter and verse of OTHERS hardly enhances debate other than muddy the waters for other readers.

The fact that Asia has not experienced negotiation is a tactile premise and is a fallacy. Though arguably only at the most senior levels can it be evidenced throughout Asiaian history, particularly with the West, the irrefutable fact is the region has been trading together for some hundreds or thousands of years, throughout which to be successful, they would have negotiated. Maybe at smaller or differing modus operandi, needless to say, relationships were made across the region.

Our Occidental past pales into insignificance when viewed from the Orients perspective. They are not blind to our failures. Even now, they have their regrets and are streamlining future growths with an altered plan of their own development. As rapid their embrace has been it is clearly not working for them. The people are restless. Just as we are.

Indeed we are responsible here in the west, yet we are denied the opportunity to rectify the wrongs, due to corruption at the highest levels. We want change, it isn't happening. When Fulford comes along with the dragon scenario claiming everything will be alright it rankles me that so many people believe in a false pariah.

You are correct Snowy, the west is corrupt. So is the east. The PTB exist in both. It's not working for either. The only solution on the table is barbaric, which I loathe. Fulford and the dragons are merely an unwanted distraction until they come up with workable plan. IMO it ain't going to happen. Hogwash, bunkum and drivel.

Weekly Geopolitical News and Analysis20130102: Do not give the cabal time to re-group, we must press home to victory

The turning of the tide can be a subtle thing at first but eventually the change becomes undeniable. That is what is happening now with the family cabal that has been secretly ruling the West through control of the creation and distribution of money. These people have already lost the ability to control the future of this planet and are now barely clinging on to power. The key to their loss was the spreading of the truth, for the truth shall set us free.

In one example of the sort of truth that is coming out, here is what MI5 is saying about former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair: “Blair received an offshore payment of Euro 75 million into Belize for signing the EU Treaty of Rome. All signatories were offered Euro 50 million but [Italian Prime Minister] Berlusconi was insulted by the low amount that could buy an Italian PM so the payment went up to Euro 75m. Blair then paid nearly half of his share into his wife Cherie's offshore account at H. Ansbacher in the British Virgin Islands.” Outgoing Bank of England Governor Sir Mervyn King also has an account (in his mother’s name) in the British Virgin Islands with H. Ansbacher, MI5 says.

Belize is also the center of much of the Bain capital drug money laundering linked to defeated US presidential candidate Mitt Romney, according to MI5 and CIA sources. This in turn links to the Bush Nazi faction and their financing of the Euro with stolen Asian gold.

This is the sort of detailed information of criminal behavior is coming out about a whole slew of Western leaders these days and no amount of murders and terror attacks can put the genie back into the bottle.

There is still a lot of frantic fighting going on, though, and clearly the battle is not yet over. It is time to seize the initiative.

The obstacles to a new financial system and the start of a massive campaign to end poverty, stop environmental destruction and free humanity have been identified as a very few old men, some of whom claim to work for off-world entities.

In specific, blockages have been linked to the pope, President Obama, and a series of occult organizations linked to the worship of an entity variously known as Ba’al, Lucifer, Molech and Satan among other names. It sounds too strange to be true but the fact is that such occultists have seized the power to create money in the West and have been using it to exploit the people of the world.

The frustration with the ongoing rape of America and the turning of the EU into a new Soviet Union has reached a crisis point and many angry people are starting to point the finger of blame on the Jews. “Is it time to go after the Jews?” is what many very powerful and dangerous people are asking.

In answer, the White Dragon Society presented a Hollywood version of the biblical Book of Ruth to some of these dangerous groups in order to provide some historical background to the difference between Jews and devil worshippers. In this story, likely based on a true historical incident, a woman by the name of Ruth from the tribe of Moab converts to the Judaism of their arch enemies, the tribe of Benjamin.

Ruth admitted to participating in the sacrifice of children as part of the worship of Molech. She is forgiven, however, because she made a full confession, converted and appeared to sincerely regret the role she played in child sacrifice.

For most decent, law abiding people, the thought of child sacrifice going on in this day and age is so horrific that the mind enters a state of denial. Any yet the evidence is overwhelming that a large portion of the Western elite not only worships Molech, or Satan, but that they actually carry out mass sacrifices.

The recent Sandy Hook murder of children is one glaring example staring us in our faces. The official account is such a mess of contradictions that only the aspartame stoned couch potatoes actually believe that a single autistic child could have carried out all those murders. Early news reports quote a principle who is later listed as “killed,” describe multiple gun-men etc. The dead children are never shown and the bodies vanish to God knows where. There has been so much good research done on this false flag killing by others that this murderous incident is not going to be buried.

This is where real Jews need to get involved. They need to renounce the child murderers who have been hiding in their midst or else risk being prosecuted as accomplices to mass murder. In the tale of Ruth the Jews did not hesitate to kill Moabites, even as they forgave Ruth. This is what needs to be done. Otherwise, prepare for the pogrom to end all pogroms.

Meanwhile, as far as the new financial system is concerned, there were frantic efforts to close a deal before the end of 2012 but last minute cabal interference has postponed the launch of the new system supposedly until min-January. Those of us who have been following this sort of news are sick and tired of hearing that the “check is in the mail,” and that good times are “around the corner.”

The sudden death of General “Stormin Norman” Schwarzkopf, the rumoured death of 8 other generals, the multiple ailments of Hillary Clinton and other signs all point to a severe ongoing struggle. Both the Navy Intelligence Office information/disinformation site Sorcha Faal and the Mossad site Debka, both say Clinton and some military were involved in a mysterious plane crash. Both sites mention the same things and certainly something unusual is going on with Hillary.

In other signs of high level disarray in the West’s power pinnacle, the Bushes remain hiding in the hospital, the pope has survived yet another poisoning attempt (according to P2 sources) and Obama admits in public he might be removed from office.

Western war-mongering also continues unabated in many countries even if World War 3 itself has been prevented.

By contrast in Asia, former Bush cabal “rogue country” North Korea’s leader Kim Jon-un calls for peace. This call is welcomed by the newly elected South Korean president. In Japan, meanwhile, a firmly anti-cabal government has seized the reins of power with the full backing of the military, and is also calling for peace.

The question still is, however, when the war-criminals will finally be removed from power in the West. As usual, there is a lot of good concrete stuff going on that we are being asked not to report at the present time. However, rest assured the final defeat of the satanic cabal has become a mathematical certainty.

I feel that way too Ben, I only hope to see it all happen so I can leave in peace, knowing my children are free for once and for all to pursue happiness, love and peace and prosperity for ALL humanity.

Thanks, just what I wanted to hear...

References to the ongoing Global takedown, World leaders and their huge graft payments (consider it another tax on the people) Clinton's 'ailment', Bain Capital and Romney, Satanic cults, and Sandy Hook, a tale of two jews, The sudden death of General “Stormin Norman” Schwarzkopf, and the Pope survives a poisoning attempt, North Korea’s leader Kim Jon-un calls for peace... once again, the old maxim holds... truth is stranger then fiction...
