There are more people who believe in "conspiracy theories" than you may think. Question everything you're told. If it doesn't make sense, then something is wrong. Do some research and investigate!
"It never fails, there are always people out there who never check into the evidence, they simply reject it and then commit themselves to making ad hominem attacks and trying to make us rational people appear to be tinfoil hat-wearing clowns." -- Jon
"When the government fears the people, you have liberty. When the people fear the government, you have tyranny." ~ President Thomas Jefferson
The United States has been criticized for trying to shut down North Korea and Iran's nuclear programs while simultaneously supporting the nuclear programs of India and Israel.
Dick Cheney and others have been stating that a nuclear attack on the U.S. is looming, highly probable.
Part of the war-gaming has been to determine how Americans will react through the use of extremely advanced computer modeling using over 2 million computer modeled "people." Most likely modeling the best way to implement MARTIAL LAW in the United States with the least amount of resistance!
Here's part of what Bush's declaration says:
"Catastrophic Emergency" means any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions;"
Notice the very last paragraph: (24) Security. This directive and the information contained herein shall be protected from unauthorized disclosure, provided that, except for Annex A, the Annexes attached to this directive are classified and shall be accorded appropriate handling, consistent with applicable Executive Orders.
In other words, there is a lot more to this [that] they are not going to tell us. Oh, you know, things like the locations of the internment camps, and who will be in charge for martial law if there is an attack that takes out Washington D.C. and/or the President.
Pastor "believes a new 9/11 crisis could be the catalyst to merge the U.S., Mexico and Canada."
"The memoirs of Jean Monnet, regarded as the architect of European unity, finally disclosed he had used a strategy of deceit, knowing his plan to form a European Union would never succeed if it were openly disclosed."
"None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free." -- Goethe (1749-1832)
While you are doing all that flag waving, please don't forget about the people who made it possible for you to wave that flag!
"I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations." -- James Madison (1751-1836)
Let's also not forget what our wonderful President once said:
"There ought to be limits to freedom." -- George W. Bush, May 21, 1999
Apparently George Bush wasn't kidding when he said that! Take a look at the liberties we have lost since Bush has been President!
"Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School District No. 1, 551 U.S. ___ (2007), decided together with Meredith v. Jefferson, is a landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision that prohibited the use of race as the sole factor in order to integrate public schools and declined to recognize racial balancing as a compelling state interest." -- Wikipedia
"Justice Stephen Breyer, ... said Roberts' opinion undermined the promise of integrated schools that the court laid out 53 years ago in its landmark decision in Brown v. Board of Education." -- Wave3
"Habeas Corpus is the name of a legal action or writ by means of which detainees can seek relief from unlawful imprisonment. The writ of habeas corpus has historically been an important instrument for the safeguarding of individual freedom against arbitrary state action." -- Wikipedia
"This is the key protection that people have if they're held in violation of the law," said Erwin Chemerinsky, a Duke University law professor who has criticized the administration's actions on civil liberties. "If there's no habeas corpus, and if the government wants to pick you or me off the street and hold us indefinitely, how do we get our release?" -- SF Gate
"What a curious phenomenon it is that you can get men to die for the liberty of the world who will not make the little sacrifice that is needed to free themselves from their own individual bondage." -- Bruce Barton (1886-1967)
"The Constitution doesn't say every individual in the United States or every citizen is hereby granted or assured the right of habeas," Gonzales told Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Jan. 17. -- huffingtonpost
"Today, consent of the governed is a presumptive aspect of all democracies. Indeed, any government that cannot plausibly claim to rule by consent of the governed tends not to enjoy the benefit of the doubt about their legitimacy, either by their own people or the peoples of other nations." -- Wikipedia
"Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear." -- Harry S. Truman
Take a good, hard look at what is going on in the United States and around the world. It doesn't get any more real than this! We are either going to sink or swim. Which one are YOU going to do?
Pastor "believes a new 9/11 crisis could be the catalyst to merge the U.S., Mexico and Canada."
"The memoirs of Jean Monnet, regarded as the architect of European unity, finally disclosed he had used a strategy of deceit, knowing his plan to form a European Union would never succeed if it were openly disclosed."
Now that you know who Dr. Robert A. Pastor is, do you believe what he is saying? If ANYONE on this planet knows about what is going on, this is the person!
Do you Remember the Freudian Slip of Richard N Haass, the current President of the Council on Foreign Relations? Was this a simple slip of the tongue or is there more to this?
It's easy to see how some of this stuff may sound a bit like conspiracy theories, but remember, it is only a conspiracy THEORY if you can't prove it exists. Once proven it is a real, live, full fledged CONSPIRACY! If you do some simple research you will find the real truth!
HIGH TREASON
"Formerly, the punishment for high treason was of a most barbarous character... Women were burnt. A male traitor was dragged or drawn to the place of execution and hanged; but while still alive, he was cut down and disembowelled. His head was then severed from his body which was quartered. The head and quarters, which were at the Kings disposal, were usually exposed in some conspicuous place--the Temple Bar being a favourite spot--after being boiled in salt to prevent putrification and in cumin seed to prevent birds feasting on them." -- 1952: James Avery Joyce: Justice At Work: (this edition Pan 1957) Page 105. (from wiktionary)
Don't you think it's time for Bush & Co. to have a fair trial?
PLEASE have a GREAT 4th of July!
Please drive safely and don't drive at all if you have been consuming mind altering drugs such as alcohol!

UPDATED, ZEITGEIST The Movie, NEW Official Version, ZEITGEIST The Movie, bush 911 video documentary, updated full Official Release version, ZEITGEIST The Movie!
This is one of the best eye opening, "big picture" documentaries that have been produced. Whether or not you believe everything in this movie, it is highly recommend that you watch it. You might learn something, I know I did!
(This is the new, updated, full Official Release version of ZEITGEIST, The Movie.)
ZEITGEIST, The Movie - Official Release - Full Film
This movie is divided into three major sections covering religion, 9.11.2001 and the New World Order. Each of these sections of the movie has been broken up into separate video's for easier viewing. Each piece is about 35 minutes long, give or take.
(The following three clips are from the new, updated, full Official Release version of ZEITGEIST, The Movie.)
ZEITGEIST, The Movie - Official Release - Part 1 of 3 : "The Greatest Story Ever Told"
ZEITGEIST, The Movie - Official Release - Part 2 of 3 : "All The World's A Stage"
ZEITGEIST, The Movie - Official Release - Part 3 of 3 : "Don't mind the men behind the curtain"
The types of things mentioned in this movie have happened throughout history many times. Read about social engineering and social control and you will see what I mean. Any real historian or sociologist could probably cite many references without having to do any research.
For example: Not to long ago almost everyone believed the world was flat. Those who believed the world was flat thought people who believed the world was round were absolutely nuts. Today we know who the real nuts were. However, if you think about it, they really weren't nuts, they just believed the common myth which they "knew" had to be true. Keep that in mind while you watch this movie. People are finally starting to see the light thanks to movies such as this one.
The majority of the information contained in this movie is already well documented in many other documentaries which also provide many, many sources. What is great about this movie in particular is that it gives you all of this info in one source.
You can find the truth if you are willing to look. Here are many references for someone who is willing to learn:
The new version has had its intro trimmed to be more generally accessible; Part 1 has a few corrections and also a few ideas expanded upon/clarified; Part 2 has been cleaned up graphically with a few small new points included; Part 3 has had its audio improved, typos corrected and some other subtle adjustments.
For those of you who have embedded the prior version into web pages or have uploaded it to You Tube, Please make the update whenever possible. All the holes in the prior version have been filled. The old version on Google video will be deleted eventually.
In the past 2 weeks that Zeitgeist has been online it has received around 250,000 views including its parts. I am very happy with this response, and even more happy with the 100s of intelligent, thoughtful and hopeful emails I have gotten from people. I appreciate everyone's expressions, input, suggestions... and, in a few cases, even apprehension regarding the work.
***
I would like to say one thing in regards to a continual comment/question I am getting, and that is:
"What do we do now?"
Step One: REALIZE FEAR IS AN ILLUSION which is a tool perpetuated by religion and the political system to keep societies under control. Don't worry about "the government watching you" or any of the general bullying tactics used to keep people from rising up. Ask questions, get in the way, and don't back down in your march to know the truth about EVERYTHING.
The pursuit of true and the processes of understanding/realization is the only true religion.
As an aside, if you are not familiar with Ed & Elaine Brown who are currently in a stand off with the authorities due to the Income tax fraud, you should be. They have asked for one thing "Show us the law that says we have to pay the income tax on our wages, and we will pay". The government can't show the law because there isn't one. I strongly suggest everyone support the Browns. They are setting a precedent that needs to be seen and heard nation wide.
***
Step Two: EDUCATE YOURSELF The mainstream media is the 4th branch of the US Government and they are going to tow the political line. Granted, they can't control everyone in their structure, but the major headlines/features you see in the major newspapers and on networks have been filtered by agents of the corporate/political elite. All major news agencies have top brass belonging to the Council on Foreign Relations. If you are not familiar with the history and agenda of the socialist power house known as the Council on Foreign Relations, I suggest a book called "The Shadows of Power" by James Perloff. This group is the hidden arm behind American Foreign policy and they seek nothing less than the total destruction of the American Republic and the creation of a socialist system / world government.
***
Step Three: EDUCATE OTHERS Create a website/ myspace/ have email lists/call into radio shows, etc. Don't be afraid to engage people, old and young in this points. Talk to your family. Get some of the many DVDs out there on the subjects and copy them and pass them out. I, for one, will be at Ground Zero on Sept 11th with the NY 911 Truth Movement to help educate the public and 'get in the way' of the media coverage who has almost totally ignored the work of the movement.
***
Final Point:
The 2 dominant motto's used in the game by those who wish to manipulate and control is
1) Divide and Conquer 2) Order out of Chaos
-Divide and Conquer- They try to get people at odds with each other in order to keep people distracted and to prevent unity. The duality put forth by religion, exploited by governments, in the general form of GOOD vs EVIL, is a farce. There is no good- There is no evil. There are only degrees of operating "with the current of nature" or "against the current of nature" and when you understand that the 'collective consciousness' is no different in structure than your 'personal consciousness' in that the whole of the species undergoes social 'conflicts of interest', just as an individual battles personal 'conflicts of interests'(pertaining to arrogance/stubbornness/ poor temperaments, etc) you can understand that the battle against the Elite is a macrocosm of your own PERSONAL internal battle dealing with your own misguided feelings of superiority, arrogance and the like. Therefor, change in many ways starts with increased self-awareness and thus the removal of the ego based elitism that we all at one time or another share. No one is better then anyone else. Period. We are all the same. We are also One.
- Order out of Chaos- This is simple. They create problems, instill unrest, then push forward their agenda disguised as a change in the best interest of the public. 911; Katrina; the War on Drugs:; Global Warming; Terrorism in general, Iraqi insurgents, Immigration, Inflation... are all used to whatever advantage they can muster up.
The more real or fabricated problems that arise, the faster the elite can reposition power. [I.E. After WW1, we had the "League of Nations". After WWII, we had the United Nations; After WWIII, we will likely have a full on One World Government.]
In my opinion, the criminal elements behind the US/UK administration want nothing less than World War, as it will be the ultimate "shake up" of things to get their agenda into full swing.
***
I want to thank ALL of you for your interest.
I am working to clean up the final digital transcript so those of you who offered to translate it into other languages will have it soon. For those whose emails I have not answered yet- I will get to them, I promise. I will have dvds by request fairly soon.
I will keep everyone posted on things. thanks again.
Recent proposals in the U.S. Congress are taking a huge swipe at freedom in America once again by aiming to impose multiple different forms of crippling taxation and restriction on users of the internet.
Several bills were introduced last week that could see all manner of new forms of internet taxation become a reality before the end of the year.
Make no mistake, the internet, one of the greatest outposts of free speech ever created is under constant attack by powerful people who cannot operate within a society where information flows freely and unhindered. Both American and European moves mimic stories we hear every week out of State Controlled Communist China, where the internet is strictly regulated and virtually exists as its own entity away from the rest of the web.
The Internet is freedom's best friend and the bane of control freaks. Its eradication is one of the short term goals of those that seek to centralize power and subjugate their populations under a surveillance panopticon prison.
Manchester, NH - Freelance reporter Matt Lepacek, reporting for Infowars.com, was arrested for asking a question to one of Giuliani's staff members in a press conference. The press secretary identified the New York based reporter as having previously asked Giuliani about his prior knowledge of WTC building collapses and ordered New Hampshire state police to arrest him.
Jason Bermas, reporting for America: Freedom to Fascism, confirmed Lepacek had official CNN press credentials for the Republican debate. However, his camera was seized by staff members who shut off the camera, according to Luke Rudkowski, also a freelance Infowars reporter on the scene. He said police physically assaulted both reporters after Rudkowski objected that they were official members of the press and that nothing illegal had taken place. Police reportedly damaged the Infowars-owned camera in the process.
Bush has inked a deal with Halliburton/KBR to build "detention camps" in the United States. Last year in 2006 KBR was award $385 million to build detention camps in the United States that could be used to house American citizens during emergencies. Bush has also put out a directive that gives the Office of the President DICTATORIAL POWERS in an emergency!
The Washington, DC, think-tank, The American Enterprise Institute, camouflages its purpose with its name. There is nothing American about AEI, and the organization's enterprise is fomenting war in the Middle East against Israel's enemies. Its real name should be The Likud Center for Middle East War.
AEI has the largest collection of warmongers in America. AEI "scholars" have agitated for war in the Middle East for years. A moronic president and 9/11 gave them their opportunity. Now that the US invasions and occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan have failed, the AEI warmongers are conspiring with Vice President Cheney to foment war with Iran.
From April, 23 to April 27, the elite echelon of the military are running Noble Resolve 07, a four-day marathon of "simulated" terror attacks across the US and Europe. This includes a simulated detonation of a "loose" ten-kiloton nuclear weapon Virginia harbor, smuggled in by a "foreign nation."
This week Dick Cheney has also been warning of the "very real" threat of a nuclear attack on an American city. Could the Operation Nobel Resolve drills be used as a screen for a false-flag attack to be blamed on Iran, Hezbollah, Al-Qaeda, or sheep-dipped Americans like Adam Gadahn?
Editorial comments:
"And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free." -- John 8:32
"And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness but rather EXPOSE them." -- Ephesians 5:11
The false-flag possibility of Noble Resolve 07 is scary because the United States government has used this tactic before. Here are some of the previous false-flags operations of the United States:
The terrorist attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001 are also believed to have been false-flag operations! (Not that you didn't already know that.)
Hopefully Noble Resolve 07 will not involve any false flag operations or give the United States some excuse to start a war with Iran.
As you can see from the Google News search results, this major training event is not in the U.S. news media. Why isn't there any reporting about such a major event like Noble Resolve 07 in the mainstream news media?? Don't you think this is STRANGE?!?!
Bill Moyers talks about this problem with the mainstream media in his PBS special premiere, Buying the War. Here is a link. Watch the video clip on this page:
The following movies will explain beyond a reasonable doubt (to most logical people) what has been happening! Just like Noble Resolve 07, this stuff isn't secret, but just like Noble Resolve 07, it might as well be, because nobody in the news media is reporting about it!
Note: If this is your first time seeing the information on this page, perhaps you could share? Chances are other people would like to know about this, too.

U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo, a Colorado Republican who backs tough anti-immigrant measures and more security at the Canada-U.S. border, is warning Americans that President George W. Bush is plotting to integrate the continent.
"He is going to do what he can to create a place where the idea of America is just that, it's an idea. It's not an actual place defined by borders. I mean this is where the guy is really going," said Tancredo.
"I know this is dramatic, or maybe somebody would say overly dramatic. But I'm telling you that everything I see leads me to believe that this whole idea of the North American union, it's not something that's just written about by right-wing fringe kooks," said Tancredo, who is considering a run at the presidency.
"It is something in the head of the president of the United States, the president of Mexico, I think the prime minister of Canada buys into it..." said Tancredo.
Lets try to take a step back and think outside the box for a moment. We have a hard time seeing the forest because all of the trees are in the way.
We can take the puzzle peices that we know of and fit them together to give us a fairly good glimpse of what is really happening in the Unites States. What is presented here is just a few pieces.
When you start adding more and more peices of the puzzle together, you can see a very clear picture. You certainly don't have to be Einstein to figure this one out. All you need is a little bit of logic and an open mind. Chances are, what you already know is wrong. It is wrong because you have had spin, a.k.a. lies, pounded into your head for so long by the four corporations that own all of the major media in the United States. Some of them go out of their way to give you "News" that is propaganda in disguise.
Don't forget that the same side of the Pentagon that was hit by the "plane" was reconstructed prior to 9/11, seemingly to test the strength of the reinforced building or for some other ulterior motive.
Yes, I have watched all of the movies advertised on this web site. There is just way to much evidence, both logical and physical, which completely goes against the "Official Conspiracy Theory" where it is said that middle-eastern men hijacked planes and flew them into buildings. This is most certainly a conspiracy especially since over half of the men who were supposedly doing all of this hijacking are still alive and well.
Here is something you can show people who do not believe in remotely controlling aircraft. This is a Command Transmitter System for flying and landing airplanes by remote control.
Let's try to think like a terrorist (Broadcast premiere Friday, June 22, 2007) for a moment. If you are going to attack buildings like what happened on September 11, 2001 they presumably were trying to cause as much damage and destruction as possible, right? Doesn't this make complete sense from a terrorist's point of view? So then answer this one question, why would a terrorist attack the most defended part of the building? It just doesn't make any sense because it was known that the Pentagon was being reinforced. You could drive by the building and see them doing the construction from the street.
Building the Pan-American Super Highway seems like a similar event. Build a freeway between all of the countries before they become integrated into one country.
Trade agreements like NAFTA, which basically drop all trade barriers to business, help to paint the picture.
If you step back and think outside the box for a moment, and put all the available peices together, the puzzle starts to disappear as the picture becomes more clear.
It appears more and more that North America is becoming one country. However, what is more alarming, is this seems to be happening in europe as well.
UK Police Adorn Nazi Chic "British police have been photographed wearing bizarre Nazi-like insignia on their uniforms as the attire of Tony Blair's enforcers begin to compliment the totalitarian society the Prime Minister is creating by openly abolishing freedom of speech and freedom of assembly under draconian crime and terror laws."
The term "New World Order" does seem to have the word "WORLD" in it! One world wide country, a totalitarian society with draconian crime and terror laws! Be prepared for martial law!!!
As we look back at the path Hitler took to power (notice how it seems to match the Bush administrations game plan), let us not forget the tragedy that happened in the United States during World War II.
Quote from the article:
"Manzanar was the first of 10 Japanese-American internment camps established west of the Mississippi during World War II. It opened in March 1942, a few weeks after President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, authorizing relocation and internment of anyone who might be seen as a threat to the U.S. war effort. There were no relocation camps for German Americans or Italian Americans."

It appears that this story was originally printed in the The San Diego Union-Tribune on July 23, 2006. Here is the article:
The Chinese government is held aloft by the UN and others as the model of the New World Order. The country is no less totalitarian than it was when the PLA massacred as many as 2600 protesters and injured 10,000 more at Tiananmen Square on June 4th 1989.
Political dissidents and peaceful practitioners of the Falun Gong religion and even the lawyers who defend them are subject to mobile execution vans or if they're lucky, hauled off to permanent detention camps.
China is equipping its courts with mobile execution vans as it shifts away from the communist system's traditional bullet in the head, towards a more "civilised" use of lethal injection.
Intermediate Courts of the southern province of Yunnan were issued with 18 new execution vans on February 28 and a court official said some have already been used.
"We cannot tell you how many executions so far, otherwise you could work out from the daily rate how many we carry out," the official said.
Chinese authorities keep execution numbers a secret, but Western human rights monitors believe it is about 15,000 a year, more than the rest of the world's judicial executions combined.

The New World Order we see today is based more and more upon a belligerent and bullying Anglo-Saxon Alliance forged between the axis Canberra-London-Washington and its foundations stand upon one simple precept: to have an "us" you need a "them." While it is true that not all those chosen to belong to "us" remain so forever (for instance, the funding of the Madrassah and the Mujaheddin movement in Afghanistan -- one of whose leaders was Usama bin Laden - to destabilise the progressive government of Dr. Najibullah by the USA).
In this new and expanded edition of Chossudovsky's international best-seller, the author outlines the contours of a New World Order which feeds on human poverty and the destruction of the environment, generates social apartheid, encourages racism and ethnic strife and undermines the rights of women. The result as his detailed examples from all parts of the world show so convincingly, is a globalization of poverty.
This book is a skilful combination of lucid explanation and cogently argued critique of the fundamental directions in which our world is moving financially and economically.
In this new enlarged edition - which includes ten new chapters and a new introduction-- the author reviews the causes and consequences of famine in Sub-Saharan Africa, the dramatic meltdown of financial markets, the demise of State social programs and the devastation resulting from corporate downsizing and trade liberalisation.
"Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear." --Harry S. Truman
Is History Repeating Itself?
"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar."
