The term conspiracy theory is often used to discredit descriptions of world events which implicate people in power as having acted together with criminal intent. Somehow we have become conditioned to respond to such theories as completely paranoid and the result of unstable irrational thinking. Why is this so?
Could it be that our own narrow minded identification with religion, right vs. left, nationalism, race or class is used to manipulate us into pointing the finger at hostile people outside our borders or belief system instead of those who were really responsible? Given the fact that we are ruled by a transnational super class who do not identify with ideology, or nation, but are only concerned with increasing power and control. Could it be that THEY might in fact be the ones who are orchestrating events behind the scenes without regard to how many commoners are destroyed in the process?
People are very uncomfortable with the idea that their leaders view them as a renewable resource similar to sheep, cattle, pigs, coal, corn, wheat. No one wants to believe that elites think in this way, but there is evidence everywhere that this is the case. Numbers of people dead in wars are used to indicate how horrifying conflicts, wars and disasters are. We live in a statistical society that is highly stratified.
The following series of videos presents fascinating research and theories that attempts to explain the culture, origins and beliefs that the global elite operate by. While not all of it may be true some of it may be.
Here are just a few of the more interesting facts uncovered:
- The Queen of Englands throne sits atop a large ancient stone called the Stone of Stones that has its origins in ancient Egypt.
- Adolph Hitler was financed by a Rothschild who was of Jewish origin.
- The CIA was founded by former members of the Nazi SS.
- The Central banks of England, France, USA which issue the nations currencies are owned by private banking families.
- The Rothschild family drafted a plan to take over the world and establish a new world order in the 18th century, but after being discovered by the French government, had to seek refuge in the secret society called the Freemasons.
If any of this is starting to sound interesting, watch the videos and decide for yourself. Does the worldview that the corporate media feeds you sound more real, or something more like this?

How Will You Spend Your Carbon Bribe?
I live in BC and I recieved my Carbon Bribe yesterday. Accompanying the send out was a blatant bit of propaganda in the daily Metro:
“Cheque you mailbox” Geoff Loie shows the $100 carbon tax cheque he received from the B.C. government. Louie said he plans to use it towaqrd a new bicycle. What are you spending your cheque on?
It made me sick. It was so obvious. And it was clearly disguised as a legitimate piece.
We are totally overtaxed in this country. Real incomes have been falling for 20 years now and especially at this time of rising gas prices, we do not need a new tax.
This tax is really just an inflation hedge for the governments own rising costs, that they plan to pass on to the people.
I asked myself how I can fight this. Even though i don’t drive my own car anymore, I still feel it is a rediculous tax.
The letter accompanying the cheque said:
$100 Climate AQction Dividen for British Columbians .. this
years’s Provincial budget is making it easier for British Columbians
to choose a lower carbon lifestyle.

He didn’t even bother to sign it. Only his typed name appeared.
I decided to burn my cheque. I was so pissed off.
The problem is that nobody sees this for what it is, a bribe. It is a small investment
for the government because they stand to gain billions from this tax.
So they try to bribe us like the fucking slaves that we are, and everbody laps it up.
We do what we are told, we do what we are told, told to do.
I encourage everyone to come up with a creative way to destroy their cheques. Stand up
and stop slaves!
Oh and by the way. Stop fucking worrying about global warming. Governments don't give a crap about global warming!!! It is not even legal to drive an electric car in Canada!!! and we all know how they squashed the EV1 in the U.S.
So stop even thinking about global warming. It is really not your responsibility. If the government wanted to do something, they would not be burning coal like it is going out of style or encouraging global free trade which burns huge amounts of gas, or encouraging trucking etc etc.
Environmentalism is a fucking joke. Everything we make, and wear and eat is made out of oil.
Peak oil and population control is their focus right now. Do you really think that the corporations and elite are going to let free markets continue and let all the serfs continuing burning up oil going camping and flying to Mexico? They will need to secure a steady supply to power their police and military infrastructe so that they can enforce their laws in the New World Order.
We have about 1 or 2 years of good times left in my opinion. The totalitarian grip is getting tighter and tighter. Western nations will soon be living in conditions previously saved only for the third world. Look forward to it people.

HAARP: US Military's Death Ray
High Frequency Active Aural Research Project is a joint Air Force and Navy project that uses 72 foot antennas, 360 total - spread out over 4 acres in Gakona Alaska. The official statement is that it is a "is a scientific endeavor aimed at studying the properties and behavior of the ionosphere, with particular emphasis on being able to understand and use it to enhance communications and surveillance systems for both civilian and defense purposes. http://www.haarp.alaska.edu/
The Investigation of researchers Begich and Manning uncovered bizarre schemes. US Air Force documents revealed that a system had been developed for manipulating and disrupting human mental processes through pulsed radio-frequency radiation over large geographical areas and such power-beaming transmitters could be used for geophysical and environmental warfare including weather-control technology.

Kissinger Says We Need a New World Order
If you listen carefully, what he is insinuating is that unless you want to live in conditions similar to what the Iraqi people are living under (under continuous military terror campaigns) then we will accept the new world order. He says, "you can not wake up every morning wondering what new disaster will befall you".
And who are causing these disasters?
Get Your Copy of Naomi Kleins "Shock Doctrine"
Naomi Klein's Shock Doctrine follows the evolution of the use of shock to undemocratically install Milton Friedman style economic "reforms". She shows the methodical use of both collective as in a natural disaster or coup d'état, and shock perpetrated against individuals as torture and it's cousins, from the experiments in brain washing done at McGill University in the 1950s to modern day applications from the September 11th, 1973 coup in Chile to Katrina to Iraq. She has a wealth of irrefutable documentation to support her assertions including names, places, documents and the long list of impoverished populations the Neo Cons have left in their wake.

Govnr. Lynch Meets NH Liberty Alliance over Real ID (5 of 5)
The American People have to take matters into their own hands and actually participate in government decision making. The REAL ID is a microchipped National ID card that is scheduled to be implemented across the United States in Dec 31, 2009.
It is being pushed by DHL for the purposes of reducing crime and, you guessed it, to prevent terrorism. How many times do we have to hear that word?

Who Owns the Federal Reserve?
The United States government has to borrow money from a privately owned bank called the federal reserve when it wants to issue more currency.
Take a look at who owns the Federal Reserve?
These bankers and corporations profit from interest payments on federal debt that are paid for by US tax payers. Many other country have the same type of central banking system as well.

U.S. FEMA Detention Camps, Katrina and WW3
The US government has been putting money into renovating detainment camps in the case of a national emergency. They say that they are to detain immigrants.
Research into US FEMA Detainment Camps by The Centre for Research on Globalization.
I have to say that given the big boys know that we are past peak oil and the system is naturally going to contract, they are planning on using these as depopulation facilities. Sounds kind of wack, but does it really? We know that the Bush family has ties to the Nazis, we are starting to see the elites come forward about the New World Order a La Bilderberg (see my previous post with Clinton promoting the NWO), we also know that many people do not believe that we can support such a large population without cheap fossil fuels.
Remember also, that the oil industry and world elites who run things behind the scenes have known about peak oil for 50 or sixty years. So don't you think they would have a plan in place?
One option is to let the people fend for themselves, let the banks fail, let anarchy reign, and have it all disintegrate into a million little micro economies. Survival of the fittest. But where does that leave them? With no centralized corporate, financial and government systems to produce wealth and privelege for them, their power fades and they become obsolete.
The other option is to use this oil crisis and the economic collapse to consolidate power and force people to accept their precious New World Order. Clinton outlines it clearly: shared security, shared benefits, shared responsibilities.
In order to completely strip everyone of their rights to this extent, their will have to be another catalyzing event like 9/11. But this time it will have to be big. I mean REALLY BIG. Something like a nuclear detonation of the White House. Not so far fetched when you look at 9/11.
Everyone will be at panick stations. The resisters, the patriots will be treated as terrorist insurgents and eliminated by the Marines. Sound outrageous. Not really when you look at what they did at Katrina. The U.S. military was breaking into peoples houses, forcing them to evacuate their homes and surrender their weapons. The people that lost their homes have been herded into detainment camps.

June 2008, Bilderberg Meeting Gets No Press
The worlds elite just recently met to discuss the globalist agenda in secret. Given that these are some of the most powerful and wealth people on the planet, the lack of media attention is considered staggering.
The Epoch Times did publish an article here that discusses the press release the Bilderberg group themselves published.
Slate magazine (owned by Washington Post) wrote an article as well that is basically just criticizing the alternative media as paranoid wackos. They still do not give any real coverage of the agenda or the violation of the Logan act that many politicians commit. Check it out.
Here are a couple other Bilderberg articles:

Matrix of Evil - Alex Jones
Alex Jones rants and raves about how the US constitution has been systematically dismantled and a new military backed police state is waiting in the wings.
Slave Labor Camps in China
After watching some of Alex Jone's movies on YouTube about the UN and China's growing economic power in the US, I did some googling on slave labor in china. Yikes. I have probably bought some of these goods without knowing it.
The slave labor camps were started by Mao and were originally for moral reform. Since then they have been expanded and now number over 1100 with about 8.6 million people imprisoned and working in appalling conditions.
The PRC (People’s Republic of China) uses Laojiao to detain individuals it feels are a threat to national security or it considers unproductive. Individuals in Laojiao may be detained for up to three years. Because those in Laojiao have not committed crimes under PRC law, they are referred to as “personnel” rather than prisoners and they are not entitled to judicial procedure. Instead, individuals are sent to the Laojiao following administrative sentences dispensed by local public security forces. This vague detainment policy allows the PRC to avoid allegations that the individual’s arrest was politically motivated and to assert that they were arrested for reasons such as “not engaging in honest pursuits” or “being able-bodied but refusing to work.”

Alternative Energy: Green Tech or No Tech?
To get off the grid and maintain your current lifestyle you need to create self sustaining systems for three basic things: water, power and electricity.
For water, having a number of sources if recommended. Using groundwater from a spring, creek or well is one source. And capturing rainwater from runoff from your roof is another source. These combined can provide most of your household needs.
A spring is ideal, but depending where you are they can go dry in summer. The same goes for a well. A well is obviously more expensive. You have to get a dowser to find the sources of water, then you have to dig the well, and depending on whether your run into bedrock, you may need heavy equipment to drill through it. Both of which costs money (in the range of 1000 - $6,000 dollars depending on depth).
Rainwater run off is great, because the water tends to be more pure than ground water. And you are not as susceptible to ground water pollution from neighbouring industry. However, rainwater must also be purified due to contamination from bird droppings on your roof. This is usually manage by having two storage tanks. One smaller one fills with the initial rain which will capture the dirty poopy water. Once it is full you have a mechanism to switch the flow to your main cistern.
The other thing you have to deal with is ensuring the water is oxygenated (which can help to kill bacteria as well) and also making sure it does not get contanimated during storage. Oxygenation is done by flowing the water down swirly ceramic slides. Not sure how to keep the contamination from happening, but the mayans could figure it out so it is definitely possible.
Regarding power, there are many sources you can use: mini-hydro power, wind power, solar power seem to be the main ones for generating electricity. Mini hydro is the best because it tends to be constant, wind is the next best because it is cheaper and solar is the third best. All of these sources require investments in turbines, panels, solar cells, batteries, control panels, inverters, cabling etc. A wind installation might cost $1200, a solar $6000 and I am not sure about mini-hydro.
These systems also need to be maintained, so some basic technical skills are necessary. Cleaning, unclogging, oiling etc are required.
All in all, the greentech solutions are thought of as transition strategies that will be around for 35 - 50 years during energy descent, and the next generation will have to learn to use biological systems after this. ie horses, oxen, human labor, mecahanical windmills, mechanical hydro.
The other thing of course is that the appliances themselves that you run with your electricity: dishwashers, coffee makers, tvs, computers, light etc. Will of course break down as well. The life cycle for many of these products are now much shorter as well due to the manufactured obsolescence built in by our business "leaders". Something to think about as well.
Perhaps the market for mechanical devices will experience resurgence and growth: human power sewing machines, candles, kerosene lamps, hand coffee grinders, mechanical laundry machines. Do we have enough resources (iron, steel etc.) for a rebuild and rollout of these machines? How long will it take to relearn the skills needed for local manufacture? Other questions to ponder.
Given that there will be so much surplus labor available. Perhaps we will skip over these options and go back to a form or serfdom, as in feudal times, when people were attached to the land and their fates dictated by vassals and barons who own and manage the land.
