Ah! Someone who has actually referenced the Morton biography, is numerate and is analytical to boot. Don't go and spoil it all Poseidon and come out as a LaRouche nutter too!
As for you Alek you have been exposed by me as a poseur and by Poseidon as a liar (note how his inflation projections are within 10% of my own).
Lyndon doesn't like his lieutenants being made a fool of does he Alek? Better write out a nice generous cheque to one of his 'worthy' causes (ooh... I'd say at least a month's salary) or he'll pick on you again at summer school.
By the way, did you do Germany this year? Find any dead 'Zionists' after class? |

How old are you? You have the maturity of a petulant little child. You haven't posted one example of my supposed "innumeracy", and I am not affiliated with Lyndon LaRouche. Is everyone who criticizes the global financial status quo, the Rothschild family, and the New World Order a minion of his? Perhaps I should be.
Your reading comprehension leaves much to be desired. Poseidon quoted a different source figure than I did, "well over 400 million pounds". Allowing for "well over" he then added 100 million pounds and used this as the present value in a future value formula. He said:
Quote: |
In order to achieve an increase of 7,000 times up to £3.5 trillion, they would only need to average about 7% p.a. compound.
|
He then used a HNWI number to attempt to estimate an upper bound for what the Rothschilds could be worth compared to others. The problem is, high net worth individuals don't typically own their assets, as I've described at least two times now. So while it is possible to know who owns what, it is virtually impossible to know who controls what. I'm not convinced of the "upper limit" in his example without understanding how the HNWI is aggregated.
Unfortunately you misunderstood him when he said:
Quote: |
If they only achieved the UK inflation multiplier of about 73 times since 1875, their wealth would be at £36.5 billion. This is probably a lower limit.
|
Obviously, the Rothschild banking dynasty outpaced inflation. Surely the debauchers of currency are smart enough to not hold their own handiwork. The 36.5 billion pound figure is a "lower limit" indeed, I'm confident it's closer to the "upper limit" of 3.5 trillion, and probably much more.
As for my estimate of the Rothschild's fortune @ $6B in 1850, that data is sourced in multiple places on the internet. I am not a liar, and I resent being called one. I'm willing to be corrected, but even as you can see with Poseidon's 500B pound example at a conservative 7% discount rate, the Rothschild's wealth and influence is overreaching. Your "dead Zionist" Nazi libel is in poor taste, but I suppose that's about the highest level of discourse you're capable of. |

I repeat, Alek, you are a poseur and a liar. A narcissistic liar. Your first post on page two of this thread categorically states Frederic Morton as your source for the $6 billion estimate of the Rothschild fortune (watch out folks he'll now go and edit it!).
I also note your very smooth bit of backtracking on the question of inflation - since Poseidon confirmed my RPI projections you no longer seem quite so sceptical of the £'s loss of purchasing power (suddenly occur to you, did it, that incomes rise as well as prices?).
You are also backtracking on the size of the Rothschild fortune - you've gone down from $500 trillion to $3.5 trillion on the sly (by the way, your use of the former estimate and your inability to grasp the RPI figure of 8,000% are indicators of innumeracy). Your 'confidence' in this revised projection, bereft of any authoritative corroboration, is reminiscent of your great clown and mentor, Lyndon himself.
And please don't go all bug eyed about trusts like a virgin in a brothel there's a good little boy. Contrary to what you suggest, setting up a trust (it should be noted there are different kinds of trust arrangements) leads to a significant loss of control as well as ownership (after all, what is ownership if not control?)- there is invariably more than one trustee, beneficiaries have to be named in advance and most trust arrangements cannot be altered.
I'm sorry if you thought my little quip about finding a dead 'Zionist' in Germany was in poor taste. His mother, I'm sure, will understand. You see, it was the author of that damn DVD that addled your brain who was responsible. Read!

Alek isn't a deliberate liar, as this site claims "in excess of $10 billion" for Morton's estimate of the Rothschild fortune "as of 1850". Another claims "over $6 billion US in 1850". If we say £500 million for the estimate in Morton's book, and given that the exchange rate for the dollar in the late nineteenth century was averaging about five to the pound (peaking around ten), the £500 million corresponds to $2.5 billion. Maybe Morton revised his estimate; it's more likely the sites have inflated the figure.
£36.5 billion would be the lower limit if The Family only managed to match inflation at some 3.3% p.a. With their legendary skills, they would have beaten inflation, and the true figure is probably nearer £3.5 trillion. The upper limit is set by whatever multiple of global GDP you think should be allowed for global wealth and the proportion that can be hidden in trusts and Swiss banks. As debt increases there is more scope for a clan to own a significant proportion of assets, and it becomes a greater proportion of total net wealth. The US national debt is over $8 trillion, about two-thirds of GDP.
The World Bank recently published a report Where is the Wealth of Nations? giving a breakdown by country of total wealth per capita including intangibles. There is a good summary and explanation at this page, which also includes a direct link to the .pdf file of the 208-page report.
For the total global wealth, the average per capita value is placed at $95,860 (as of 2000). Multiplying by the world population for 2000 of 6.07 billion, this values global wealth at $582 trillion.
The US is listed as $512,612 per capita, so multiplying by the 2000 population of 281 million we obtain $144 trillion for the total wealth. The summary on the Reason.com page says $513,000 per capita wealth is producing $41,500 per capita income, corresponding roughly to an 8% p.a. return on total wealth (and sets total wealth as a 12 times multiple of GDP). The multiple should be a little higher and the yield a little less, since the income figures are for 2005.
Switzerland had $648,241 wealth per capita and a population in 2000 of about 7.1 million, so the total wealth is $4.6 trillion. The Rothschilds - or whatever powers that be are at the top of the hierarchy - could easily hide a trillion or two here, and trillions in the US. It is interesting that Switzerland manages to stay out of wars; if there are battles going on between various factions then they would all have money in Swiss banks, and agree to keep the fighting out of harms way. The natives of a country will look at government claims for average wealth or income and think that they are too high compared to a typical working wage, given that the number of rich is relatively low. Governments explain this by saying that they just take a low income and a high income, and quote the mean as the "average" income. There could be some truth in that.
Israel's per capita wealth (2000) is valued at $294,723 or a total of $1.85 trillion. This would have increased rather sharply following the 2001 exploits of a certain Rabbi Dov Zakheim.
The Rothschilds of today are not responsible for any crimes of their forefathers. Although they are clearly very wealthy and the official valuations of their assets are too low, changing conditions over the last century would reduce the political clout provided by their wealth. Originally, the hierarchy would have gone rather like: (1) Rothschilds (2) US Zionist Mafia such as Bronfmans, Rockefellers, Meyer Lansky (3) US (4) UK. Then Israel came in as a new entry and soon moved to number (3) above the US. Israel was set up to provide the Zionists with more leverage, but after 2001 it became even more powerful with its German-built Dolphin subs with nuclear-tipped cruise missiles and ability to carry out false flag terror attacks and blackmail as well as bribe the target country's government. So Blair is still "Bush's poodle", and US policy (particularly regarding foreign relations) is determined by Israel "we, the Jewish people control America, and the Americans know it" (Ariel Sharon, 2001). The US didn't spend hundreds of billions of dollars and sacrifice thousands of its own servicemen in Iraq in order to benefit the American people.
However, Israel may have outgrown the Zionists. It is certainly at the centre of the axis of evil. Olmert (formerly Sharon) seems to be more concerned with the immediate theatre of the Palestinians and Lebanon, whereas Netanyahu is a suspect for orchestrating terror attacks such as 9/11 and 7/7. The US Zionists sponsor training schools for the Mossad, which may have achieved a degree of autonomy. But those who have control of the armed forces and have their finger on the nuclear button would have gained in power compared to the bankers.
LaRouche has been called an "anti-Semite" by Zionists, so he must at least be on the right track on some issues. However, the fact that he read Marx and became a Marxist and then a Trotskyist doesn't do much for his reputation. I would rate his site as below average for educational value.
Jeremiah Duggan was a decent, honest individual. The Schiller Institute did not assassinate or physically murder him, but an organization that runs youth schools and training is to be regarded with some suspicion. There could well be a phenomenon whereby an individual's core beliefs cannot be abandoned too quickly without triggering mental problems. Personal identity is a sum of beliefs, memories, goals and values. If all are suddenly removed it would be tantamount to a loss of the individual. It was around early 2003 that some of my beliefs were challenged by new evidence. I started investigating 9/11; this led to research on other historical matters and I found some beliefs had to be revised. Fortunately, there were important core values that remained, and I found reconciling and integrating each belief into a consistent world-view to be fascinating and rewarding. |

I appears it was produced by Patrick S. J. Carmack and directed and narrated by Bill Still as a double act. Is there any evidence linking these people to LaRouche or anything else you consider undermines their credibility.

Ian,
In reverse order:
Give me 24 hours to check out the people and the video.
I'd like to give a considered reponse to your first query later. The short and obvious answer is it all depends what your views are on wealth and money creation. There is not a single accepted school of thought on these matters taught by academics - there are many different schools and schools within schools.
Cheers,
Pincher |

Ian,
I watched an hour or so of the video - more than enough time to get a feel of what the makers were trying to tell us:
that national central banks are all privately owned banks (not true) owned by foreigners (Rothschilds, other Jews & Freemasons) who, by controlling national interest rates & money supply, manipluate governments into supporting their plans for world domination (New World Order) that will probably come about as a result of a deliberately engineered recession...
As to factual inaccuracies re. The Federal Reserve you might find this link helpful: http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/Senate/3616/FedReserveFacts.html
And here's some scholarship on John Rockefeller and the Rothschilds:
http://64.233.183.104/search?q=cache:xePeWdfiro8J:www.martinfrost.ws/h tmlfiles/third_section/FOSDICK_Apr_05.html+%27Gary+Kah,+Still,+Carmack %27&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1
In addition you might care to mull over the following points:
1) After the foundation of the Bank of England, the worlds first central bank, Britain became the wealthiest country in the world and was at the epicentre of the largest empire EVER.
2) Under the Federal Reserve system the United States has never once lost its dominant position in the world economy (its current growth rate of 5% is twice the EU average).
3) Islamic countries that hold out against usury are amongst the world's poorest nations.
And ask yourself this question:
If the government agreed to loan you as much money as you wanted interest free with the proviso that you only paid it back when you could afford to:
1) What would you do with it?
2) Would you ever pay them back?
(this is a caricature of the 'soft loan' policy advocated by the makers of this film) |

I know that prejudice and every other kind of predisposition will influence judgement on such matters but I find the first link above entirely unconvincing.
It reminds me of the sites that 'debunk' 9/11 Myths.
Take, for example, the opening sentences:
"Facts: Yes, the Federal Reserve banks are privately owned, but they are controlled by the publically-appointed Board of Governors. The Federal Reserve banks merely execute the monetary policy choices made by the Board."
This tries to create the impression that the Board is working primarily in the interests of the American people, that it is truly 'independent'.
Pull the other one. Who in reality selects these people? Does anyone expect us to believe that the private owners don't get exactly who they want.
I'm reminded of a conversation I heard on radio London (I think it was) recently when Vanessa Phelps, Robert Elms and a phone-in guest all agreed that "there is no such thing as a 'Jewish Lobby'." It was impossible not to laugh. So the UK's utter devotion to and support for the objectives of Zionism is simply the result of the deliberations of our collective conscience. Tell that to the Lebanese. |

From your debunking article:
Facts: Yes, the Federal Reserve banks are privately owned
Quote: | owned by foreigners (Rothschilds, other Jews & Freemasons) who, by controlling national interest rates & money supply, manipluate governments into supporting their plans for world domination (New World Order) that will probably come about as a result of a deliberately engineered recession...

"How accurate are these claims? Some of Schauf's statement is correct. The Treasury Department prints Federal Reserve Notes and then sells it to the Federal Reserve system for an average cost of about 4 cents per bill (see FedPoint #1). However, the Fed must present as collateral for the currency an amount of Treasury securities that is equivalent in value to the currency purchased. The Federal Reserve collects interest on all the Treasury securities it owns, including the ones held as collateral. This is as far into the realm of fact as Schauf's statement can take his reader."
This link reminds me of a-level economics somewhat.
Everything is explained, apart from the point at which money enters the economy,
which you would think would be very interesting and important.
Privately owned/controlled central banks purchase government debt (bonds),
with a simple book-keeping entry (money out of thin air).
They charge the government interest for money created out of nothing,
it really is that simple. If you disagree with this please explain to me
how it actually works.

1) And still is probably. The money lenders used England / Europe as a platform to launch their mission for world domination.
Nathan Meyer Rothschild:
"I care not what puppet is placed upon the throne of England to rule the Empire on which the sun never sets.
The man who controls Britain's money supply controls the British Empire, and I control the British money supply."
2) US prosperity is a castle built on sand. The internationalists have set up the entire western world for an economic
fall of unprecedented proportions.
It's in plain-view, unprecedented levels of debt, and asset bubbles in all parts
of the economy. But I suppose you would say all these are good things.
3) I'm not sure what this proves.
If the government agreed to loan me as much money as I wanted, with no repayment deadline.
I would never pay it back. But that is hardly the point.
The film isn't anti interest per-se.
It's anti interest on money created out of thin air.
The time value of nothing should be, nothing. |

Thanks for your reply Pincher
I realise it is a long video and hence asking you to comment on its factual accuracy was a bit unfair so let me be specific
Clearly the creation of the federal reserve in 1913 is a central point in the film
On page 52 of the film's transcript, Still describes a meeting on Jekyll Island between Senator Nelson Aldrich Chairman of National Monetary Commission and various associates. This meeting is described in more detail in this book
Do you accept that this meeting took place and involved the people stated? Do you accept that the purpose of the meeting was to draft a new Banking Bill and that their draft formed the basis of the 1913 Bill? If this is the case, does it not raise any disturbing questions for you as to the supposed independence and benevolence of the Federal Reserve?
Do you accept that to question the basis of modern banking does not make you automatically a neo-nazi? |

OK Ian I can see you are a sincere bloke (good to see that you are wary of the neo nazi tag) so I'll take a look - just give me 24 hours. Please check that your first question isn't answered in the link provided above
One thing that puzzles me is that no one on this site has asked me whether I accept that 9/11 was an inside job.
I presume that is because you all presume I'm just another conspiracist theorists' feathers ruffler. |

UK Indymedia has banned my World War IV article from their website. This is in response to an administrator from the Urban75 website who argued that was:
i. anti-semitic
ii. sub-Nazi, and
iii. 'conspiraloon'.
My article may be wrong but the arguments are very dodgy way of banning it. I've asked Indymedia to explain their actions but they have not responded. It seems naming names concerning the Anglo-American Establishment gets some people very annoyed. I'm emailing the article to Indymedia contributors. I'd be interested in finding out what arguments support the anti-semitic charge.

Urban 75 is supposed to be a protest/ anti-establishment web site. I'm afraid it is anything but, and is run by a clique of computer nerds who are as revolutionary as the Tweenies and I shouldn't even waste any effort in posting on their forums. If you do, you will be subject to a barrage of abuse attacking your character rather than the argument and if you proceed to win any argument, your post will be deleted and you will be banned by the editor. _________________ Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored. - Aldous Huxley |

Ian,
Here are my thoughts on the important issues you raise.
No you don't have to be a neo nazi to question the method of banking, money supply and wealth creation (it might come as a surprise to you that neo nazis are not really interested in these questions anyway - they are just a ruse to gain power).
These issues are at the very heart of politics (eg the old Clause 4 of the Labour Party -'...to take into public ownership the means of production, distribution and exchange' ie the factories, shops and banks).
Politics is about analysing problems and solving them. But, people being people, they have hundreds of different ways at looking at things and hundreds of different answers.
The Money Masters/LaRouche way (the two are almost certainly connected -which explains why the DVD producer didn't get his interview!) is to spin a yarn consisting of half truths (eg the Fed was largely responsible for the Great Depression) and mix it in with some old myths (Jews and Freemasons run the world's central banks in order to take over the world).
Their solution would be to nationalise the Fed and introduce pre industrial banking practices. Central and clearing Banks would be heavily regulated and leant on to offer soft loans to government, municipalities, state run enterprises and approved private corporations for infrastructural projects and showpiece hi-tech schemes.
Of itself this is not evil (just dumb). Democratic socialist governments do much of this as well as fascist ones. China's doing much of it now. And so did the Nazis. What was different about the Nazi's banking (ha!) and wider political agenda was it's justification. A justification that eerily resonates today in the Money Masters DVD.
What Money Master/LaRouche is coy about is the type of government (LaRocuhe's own literature more than hints at world government under his direct control - an alternative New World Order if you will) that he would usher in. I can tell you now it would be both anti democratic and repressive. One can only guess what he has in mind for the Jews (and any other minorities he doesn't particularly care for eg the British).
It might surprise you to know that I am critical of the role of central banks both private and public. In theory, I am in favour of 'free banking' a system of clearing banks, lightly regulated, competing with one another without a central bank and allowed to issue their own money (yes, and free to practice fractional reserve banking!).
This system operated in the 19th century in several countries (including, I believe, Australia -but don't quote me). But a variety of problems cropped up, both political and economic, that always necessitated the creation of a central bank.
Many serious, classical economists support free banking (including Milton Freidman) but I am unsure as to whether they would approve of its immediate implementation. For the moment the fashion for big government and competing national economies (as opposed to a global interlocking one) conspire to preclude it.
So, for now, we will have to make do with the central banks and the nonsensical conspiracy theories that go with them.
Amen |

Pincher is either incredibly ill informed or a liar, simple as that.
Larouche calls for a new Bretton Woods to put the global financial system on a sustainable footing. He also promotes the independence of sovereign States so the nonsense about him seeking power in his own version of a NWO with him centre stage is pure drivel.
Larouche has been a thorn in the global elites side for some time and has been falsely accused by them and their minions repeatedly. The US Attorney General Ramsey Clark had this to say of his treatment in a letter to the Attorney General of the day Janet Remo -
"I bring this matter to you directly, because I believe it involves a broader range of deliberate and systematic misconduct and abuse of power over a longer period of time in an effort to destroy a political movement and leader, than any other federal prosecution in my time or to my knowledge."
http://www.schillerinstitute.org/exon/ramseyclark_ltr_95.html
Common sense says the powers that be do not go to such lengths to bring down someone who they would have us believe is a crank.
As for the anti semitic slur - a baseless slur is all it is.
Larouche was being interviewed live on the morning of September 11 2001 when the attacks were taking place and explained there and then that it was not Bin Laden and a rag tag bunch of extremists but -
LaRouche Discusses the Sept. 11 Attack As It Unfolds
"LaRouche: - Well, largely, this is a domestic covert operation, which we had word of beforehand. Everybody had the word, and if I had been President, I mean, on the basis of just what I knew, I would have taken certain actions immediately, which would—security/surveillance actions in anticipation of exactly that kind of problem.
So, we were not mystified. The problem is that fun and games is being played by various institutions, and we don't have anybody really effectively in charge." -
http://www.larouchepub.com/pr_lar/2001/010911stockwell.html
So please Pincher, either take more time to better inform yourself or spend less disinforming others. |

Well firstly, you are right I am extremely wary of 9/11 truth (or analysis of global banking systems for that matter) being seen to be just the territory of neo-nazis.
As to whether you accept that 9/11 was an inside job or not, let me ask you, do you support the call for a further investigation. If so, you are very welcome.
There are a whole range of other issues that flow from 9/11 truth. To take another related issue as an example, that of imminent peak oil, you will find people here who believe this theory and others that don't. But as a forum we have no need to take a position on this. And so the same applies to peoples' views on banking systems. So I don't automatically assume that you don't support 'us'. |

Easy to suspect someone, not so to prove it. Prove your scurrilous allegation, Pincher! |

Chip Berlet is senior analyst at Political Research Associates, a progressive think tank
Would it be over generalising to say that "think tanks" are generally establishment / military-industrial-complex funded?
Which would sort of put into question the independence of the "research" on that site. |

Larouche calls for a new Bretton Woods to put the global financial system on a sustainable footing. He also promotes the independence of sovereign States so the nonsense about him seeking power in his own version of a NWO with him centre stage is pure drivel.
Larouche has been a thorn in the global elites side for some time and has been falsely accused by them and their minions repeatedly. The US Attorney General Ramsey Clark had this to say of his treatment in a letter to the Attorney General of the day Janet Remo -
"I bring this matter to you directly, because I believe it involves a broader range of deliberate and systematic misconduct and abuse of power over a longer period of time in an effort to destroy a political movement and leader, than any other federal prosecution in my time or to my knowledge."
http://www.schillerinstitute.org/exon/ramseyclark_ltr_95.html
Common sense says the powers that be do not go to such lengths to bring down someone who they would have us believe is a crank.
As for the anti semitic slur - a baseless slur is all it is.
Larouche was being interviewed live on the morning of September 11 2001 when the attacks were taking place and explained there and then that it was not Bin Laden and a rag tag bunch of extremists but -
LaRouche Discusses the Sept. 11 Attack As It Unfolds
"LaRouche: - Well, largely, this is a domestic covert operation, which we had word of beforehand. Everybody had the word, and if I had been President, I mean, on the basis of just what I knew, I would have taken certain actions immediately, which would—security/surveillance actions in anticipation of exactly that kind of problem.
So, we were not mystified. The problem is that fun and games is being played by various institutions, and we don't have anybody really effectively in charge." -
http://www.larouchepub.com/pr_lar/2001/010911stockwell.html
So please Pincher, either take more time to better inform yourself or spend less disinforming others. |
Brian,
Let me ask you a question. If you were a judge in a murder case would you bar prosection witnesses from testifying and rely solely on the evidence of the defendant before asking the jury to retire to consider their verdict? Isn't it time you sought other opinions about the man and found out a little more about his background?
I have already supplied several authoritative links that critique the Money Masters LaRouche conspiracy (I am confident now that they are one and the same - the Hegelian dialectic waffle on the former's site gave the game away).
I'll supply one of them again (the journo is an old Trot comrade of LaRouche) http://www.dennisking.org/
Whatever else you cannot call my anti-semitism 'slur' 'baseless'.
One final question before I go. Do you think of LaRouche as a socialist? If so, what do you understand by the term 'socialism.?'

I've never done an audit myself. I would be inclined to agree with your assessment. Certainly the most high profile, best endowed, are.
However, there is a huge number of left/liberal/minority groups who are not funded by the sources (though your categorisation is somewhat vague and elastic) you mention.
In a sense this is immaterial as Berlet & King are amongs the most respected (if not the best) authorities on the American far right (though I don't share their politics). All posters on this site would do well to read their material online before making up their minds on LaRouche (unfortunately too many of you seem to have already done this).

Yes, 9/11 was undoubtedly an inside job. For a variety of reasons I am unsure about the call for a further investigation.
I have a different prespective on 9/11 which goes beyond the confines of the Middle East. My opinions are based largely on geo political behaviour rather than diplomatic statements (which are normally coded messages or outright deceptions - rarely to be taken at face value).
There is much about 9/11 which doesn't seem to be mentioned on this site. The heavy influence of LaRocuhe, if anything, is more likely to impair understanding and delay the truth. To understand 9/11 you have to have a grasp of the widest political context in which the event took place.
Unfortunately, with one or two honourable exceptions, all I've found on this site is crass stupidity and ignorance. |

Why don't you enlighten us as to what these things we are ignorant of are?
Are you a peak oiler at all?
I've been to a few meetings, but I find they are generally hostile
to being associated with 9/11 conspiracies, in fact conspiracies of any
nature whatsoever. |

Hello Pincher....love you to explain about the "geo political behaviour...
+ ...the wildest political context", in order to enhance our quest for the truth.
Thanks |

So ignoring LaRouche for a moment. You believe 9/11 was an inside job and so presumably accept its significance in explaining 'world affairs'. In exposing the corruption at the highest levels that infests our global system, is there an issue more important than 9/11? Or do you share my belief that the best way to expose the powers that be and their corrupt ways is 9/11?
In trying to introduce people to 9/11 truth what books, websites or DVDs do you recommend? |

1) Yes, absolutely
2) To fully understand 9/11 you must ditch all your political preconceptions and look at things in an unemotional, scientific way (think of yourself as Spock in the control room of SS Enterprise looking down on a new planet for the first time)
3) Sorry, can't help - nobody I know shares my analysis, because I don't discuss it with anyone. I only came on here to see if I could have some light shed on certain aspects of my theory.
Just in case you're wondering - the only reason why I have decided to share my thoughts on 9/11 with you is to stop as many of you as possible from becoming LaRoucheans. To that end I will reveal information about him later (particularly about his early life) which you should be aware of. |

Well the reason other people don't appear to share your analysis is probably because they don't know what it is.
When it all comes down to it I reckon the analysis of what's going on is pretty easy and it should be pretty easy to find common ground with the vast majority of humanity who want to live in peace and harmony with each other and with nature. The key is communicating this.
If I was trying to describe the big picture and the common ground that I reckon most of us would share, my 3 core messages would be
1) There is a conspiracy. The 'elite' of this world and their puppets do conspire against the bulk of humanity. We had better wake up to this reality and stop denying or playing along with their game.
2) Love is the answer. We are all interconnected. Do (be) unto others as you would have them do (be) unto you. But we already know this we just keep denying it. If we woke up to this reality ...........
3) Without their wars and lies to divide us, we know the solutions. We can end war, end poverty, address climate chaos, live in harmony ..... John Lennon's Imagine fades in.
We need to break their trance and start speaking our truth. If it's any consolation many people around me don't go along with my analysis, but what the heck. They also have not looked at the evidence in any detail so the opinion is ill-informed
Maybe LaRouche is important in understanding the bigger picture, but I can't say I've ever paid him much attention |

Chapter One - Who Rules America
Ever seen the movie 'Dead Poets' Society?' If you haven't - get the DVD and if you have, watch it again and listen VERY CAREFULLY. It is more than a satire on a snobby school. It is a sanitised biography of America's WASP (White Anglo Saxon Protestant) elite. But I haven't read one critic yet who fully understands it.
The school in the movie, Welton Academy, Vermont is closely modelled on America's most prestigious private school, Phillips Academy, Andover MA. The resurrected secret organisation 'Dead Poet's Society' satirises Phillips' own exclusive secret society AUV ('Auctoritas, Unitas, Veritas - authority, unity, truth).
Many of the episodes depicted in the film evoke real events (eg Noel Perry's suicide that leads to the break up of the society is a revision of a student death that occurred just after WWII and lead to the suspension of AUV). Most importantly, the ethos of individuality (defying formal authority), taking the initiative ('Carpe Diem') and even personal reinvention (remember Mwumba?!) are the central tenets of the AUV doctrine.
But as I said earlier, DPS is a sanitised movie. In particular it leaves out:
1) The bizarre hazing rituals that all initiates have to go through (it was hazing that caused the death of the student referred to above).
2) The secret language, hieroglyphic communication codes and rituals of the society (the very opening 'candle' sequence of DPS depicts a school ritual that appears borrowed from AUV).
3) That membership of the society is not open as suggested but restricted to a social elite and is but a training ground for a more serious and exclusive organisation (more on that in another post).
The film went on general release in the US in 1989. I find the timing significant. 1989 was the year the 41st President of the US, George Herbert Walker Bush, was sworn into Office.
I see DPS as an artistic gift to Bush. You see, it is a sanitised version of HIS old school and HIS old secret society. And of his son, the 43rd President.
The moral of the story is - the Bush family are not Texan, they are not salt of the earth hicks and they are most certainly not evangelical Christians. They are blue blooded, Anglican (ie athiest) East Coast aristocracy (direct descendents of Henry II).
