David Wilcock on Financial Tyranny & The Biggest Scandal in History

The Department of Justice - home of the US Marshals - has now blown the lid off of the biggest financial scandal in human history... after a highly covert three-year investigation. The LIBOR scandal has started the Great Revealing of Financial Tyranny. Mass arrests must begin with mass charges, and mass court cases - and that has now arrived. Disclosure of many great hidden truths will follow...

THE TIME HAS COME
By David Wilcock

Every person on Earth is increasingly aware that our world is ruled by corrupt forces - to an almost Biblical degree. The astonishing events that have unfolded since June 27, 2012 have made that much more obvious - even for those who have been in the greatest denial. This process has been fascinating to watch - not to mention remarkably rewarding.



After many years of hard work to expose the truth, we are finally seeing results - on a worldwide level. The knowledge will spread much, much more with each passing day. Critical information was leaked to us from highly classified insider sources, working for the good of humanity. Current events have proven that their plan is still very much in effect.

THE FINANCIAL TYRANNY SERIES: A FULL BOOK-LENGTH INVESTIGATION

Every word of this investigation has been released for free. The bulk of our original findings are in the Financial Tyranny series. The first and largest portion of our extensive investigation was released on Friday, January 13th, 2012. The remaining elements took almost another month to finish, and were published on Thursday, February 9th. You can begin by reading Sections One through Seven of Financial Tyranny here. Then go here to complete Sections Eight through Ten.

This truth is admittedly painful to accept. You will probably have to go through a grief process once you understand the full scope of what is going on. Nonetheless, it is absolutely essential for everyone, as a planet, to end the denial and face the truth of our world - as it actually exists today.

THE MEDIA IS ALSO IMPLICATED

The Great Revealing has not yet become the one thing everyone is talking about. The arrests and resignations have only just begun - and the mainstream Western media is equally as culpable as those controlling the financial system. After all, it's the same people.

This is one of many popular notions that are proven in Financial Tyranny. It is no longer a "conspiracy theory." Vast psyops have been used - including tens of thousands of professional online hit-men, paid to look like normal people sharing their opinion. Shame has been a very powerful weapon to stop people from learning the truth. No one wants to be "crazy" or hated for their beliefs.

You are about to see a variety of article links where the writers express surprise that the American media isn't covering this story yet. As you are well aware, this has nothing to do with the press being "shy." They are simply staring into the face of their own destruction.

THE COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING COMMISSION - WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

On June 27, 2012, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, or CFTC, filed a surprise legal order against Barclays Bank - in a move that has shocked the world. A wealth of emails were presented, giving irrefutable evidence that Barclays was manipulating their own credit score - to generate almost unthinkably vast profits.

Here is the link where you can download the legal order yourself - and a photograph of the top page of this historic document.

This may not seem like a big deal at first - but in order for Barclays to have rigged their own credit score, they had to be conspiring with all the other biggest banks in the world. These are the banks they are supposedly in competition with.

This story has taken off with unprecedented, explosive force in the UK - but is almost non-existent in the US, except on Huffington Post and alternative news sites.

This legal action required extraordinary secrecy to perform. Had the Cabal gotten wind of it, they would have killed everyone involved.


ALL THE BIGGEST BANKS ARE IN BED TOGETHER

Indeed, the world just found out that all the biggest banks are in bed together. They are all implicated in a vast conspiracy to lie to the public, and create artificial investor confidence that benefits no one but themselves.

Mass criminal charges are already being prepared - by labor unions, local banks, local governments, state governments and federal governments - as a result of this move by the Department of Justice.

All the evidence is now freely available, as we will see - and the story is nearly moving faster than we can keep up with at this point, with new developments on a day-by-day basis.


SOME PEOPLE PROMOTE A GENOCIDAL BELIEF SYSTEM

Some people are so war-weary that they refuse to believe anyone in government, military, finance, intelligence or the judiciary could be a trustworthy human being - or want to do the right thing. As I have said before, this is ultimately a genocidal belief system that seeks to paint the world in black and white, reinforce victim consciousness, and create an "us" versus "them."

The reality is that humans are complex creatures. No one is "all good" or "all bad." Each person is quite capable of thinking for themselves - regardless of where they work. Plenty of people now realize that the goals and aspirations of this cabal could literally destroy our entire planet. We cannot simply stand back and watch it happen. Actions must be taken.


THE NUMBER OF "GOOD GUYS" IS NOW AS HIGH AS 75 PERCENT

Between 70 to 75 percent of the United States military community is now aligned against the cabal as of this past week. This is according to top Pentagon sources I am in contact with, by one degree of separation - as a result of years of building up insider contacts as a public investigator.

Critical steps have been taken to remove powerful opposing forces that were loyal to the cabal - who would have sabotaged this planetary healing process. Many brave men and women have put their lives on the line to uphold their Oath of Enlistment - and defend our freedom. They deserve our respect and support.

There is nothing more dangerous on Earth than to take on the ruling cabal. This also makes it a uniquely powerful act of valor. As a result of these heroic efforts - including criminal investigations - we are now seeing a Point of No Return for the global bankers.

If you don't grasp that yet, the wealth of excerpts you are about to read may well change your mind.

THEY HAVE BEEN WEAKER THAN WE REALIZED ALL ALONG

In truth, these financial institutions have been much weaker than they led us to believe for years now - since at least 2007. They have played around with their own credit reports to convince everyone that they are still a worthwhile investment. If they had told us the truth about how much trouble they were in, they would probably have already been exposed and defeated.

A vast international alliance has been financially choking off the Cabal for years now - knowing that their collapse is inevitable. They are still too powerful to be exposed until a collapse becomes visible to all. Their fraud is so vast that it encompasses every single type of financial investment there is - stocks, bonds, commodities, currency, mutual funds, derivatives, mortgages, loans, you name it.

All the money there is in the world - either real money or fake numbers in a computer - has been manipulated to create the largest financial fraud in recorded history... so far. Many experts now estimate the amount of investments that are affected could be as much as 800 trillion dollars.

Learning a fiscal lesson from America's "debt crisis"...



Our sovereign currency and credit has been usurped for private gain instead of public good. Let's take back control of our money from Wall Street and build prosperity on Main Street by creating state, county, and municipal public banks. Public tax monies should be leveraged by public officials, not speculators and swindlers. Check out the Public Banking Institute {not to be confused with Public Bank Berhad!)

The Great British Lawful Rebellion Has Begun


WE KNOW YOUR GAME!

As many people reading this already know, there is a humorous Chinese curse which simply says “May you live in interesting times!” Well, 2011 is already turning out to be a very interesting year indeed... a year that is going to change Great Britain’s destiny and direction forever... a year which will set alight a chain of events and actions that will globally expose and cast off the evil corporate yoke that has been cunningly and unlawfully imposed upon all of the free peoples of the world by that criminal and secretive global elite that is commonly known as The New World Order. As the world begins to wake up to the real truth, a cry from the people is starting to be heard in an ever increasing volume... WE WILL NOT BE THEIR SLAVES!

What is seen now by the repressive authorities as merely smouldering embers of open rebellion by a tiny minority will very soon flare up to become a raging inferno for truth and justice as ordinary decent people demand an end to this global criminality and complete insanity.

To this end, Lawful Rebellion in Great Britain has now finally begun (as poor old Judge Peake in Birkenhead discovered to his surprise and embarrassment when he was suddenly confronted in his court by over 500 law abiding citizens demanding his arrest for treason) and nothing, absolutely nothing, can stop its momentum from building.

Ordinary decent and peace loving people have finally had enough and are now waking up in ever increasing numbers to the unlawful harm that is actually being done to them and their families. A grassroots movement of non-compliance on a scale never before imagined is organising itself to lawfully expose and bring down this appalling system of global corporate control and enslavement... including the lawful shutting down of the debt creating financial nerve centre of the world, the so-called Square Mile that makes up the ‘City of London’ – what many analysts believe is the beating heart of this global conspiracy beast.

The bloodline criminal banking family, the House of Rothschild, the power base and ‘brains’ behind this so-called New World Order (which of course includes the proposed European Union Superstate) have simply created for themselves a House of Cards which, because of their arrogance and over-confidence, is now ready to collapse.

It is certainly true that they have planned for many years now a global financial collapse designed to hasten in a ‘one world’ global currency and banking system completely controlled by them, but many researchers believe that they may have partially lost control and what is about to happen is, in fact, an incredible opportunity for the ordinary and decent people of the world to strike back with a mortal blow and so expose and defeat forever the New World Order and the Rothschilds’ psychopathic plans for the human race. In other words, the ‘Endgame’ is almost upon us... and we must take the initiative!  [clip]


Waddesdon Manor, donated to the National Trust by the Rothschild Family

From now on, it must be the sworn duty of all law abiding and decent people to expose and collapse this evil mindset and control mechanism forever. And the only law to be allowed here in Britain is Common Law which applies equally to everyone without fear or favour – attempts to impose any other type of law, such as Civil or Roman Law or even Sharia Law, will not be tolerated or allowed.

THE ONE KEY QUESTION THEY CANNOT AND WILL NOT ANSWER!

Mayer Amschel Rothschild famously said in the late eighteenth century, “Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws.”

The House of Rothschild has created a global financial empire based around creating money completely out of thin air and then charging exorbitant rates of interest on it. This unlawful deception on a truly staggering scale, using their global network of central and private banks (including the Bank of England through its Bank of England Nominees Ltd), has resulted in nations being deliberately and criminally engineered into enormous debt. As far as the Rothschilds are concerned, debt equals control – and the heart of their criminal control base is the Square Mile that makes up the City of London.

Bank of England, a Rothschild enterprise

If you want to see your average ‘useful idiot’ politician or economist squirm, then ask them this simple and direct question... Why cannot Her Majesty’s Government through the Treasury issue debt free and interest free money based upon the wealth, the common wealth, of this country (worth trillions)... why do we have to go cap in hand to the Rothschild controlled private and international banks who simply create money out of thin air – just numbers created on a computer screen – and who then charge exorbitant rates of interest on this ‘nothingness,’ which is currently costing us the taxpayers something like £125,000,000 a day, or around £44,000,000,000 a year just to meet the interest payments?

The truth is we are being scammed! The so-called Deficit, which is being used to distress our armed forces as well as the weak and vulnerable in our society, is unlawful... I repeat, UNLAWFUL!

A myriad of taxes, cuts and other austerity measures, not to mention widespread redundancies, have been imposed unlawfully upon the unwitting taxpayers... that is you and I... to tackle this. But, under Common Law, if you are found guilty of practicing your affairs with mischief, then everything you have been doing must be declared null and void. The same applies to this country’s so-called National Debt (fast approaching £1 trillion having doubled in the last six years) and to all our own personal debts such as Mortgages and Personal Loans... we can walk away from them all lawfully as we have all been given ‘money’ that doesn’t actually exist, that has no audit trail and comes to you as a debt.
And before all the LSE ‘educated’ economists become excited and animated and saying that this is all rubbish and that you cannot possibly default lawfully from your ‘debts,’ I suggest they read this next part very carefully, very carefully indeed!

What follows below is an excerpt from an editorial in The Times newspaper in 1865 which, even then, was influenced and ultimately controlled by the London-based Rothschilds. The American Civil War, as with nearly all wars in the last two hundred plus years, saw the Rothschilds encouraging and profiteering from funding both sides.

President Abraham Lincoln, realising the appalling criminality being practised by this banking dynasty, rather than pay the phenomenal levels of interest on this ‘money’ created from ‘nothingness,’ took the radical and common sense decision to bypass the Rothschilds and to have the Union’s Useless Treasury print their own interest-free and debt-free money.

Lincoln's "Greenback" currency
Called ‘Greenbacks’ because of their colour, the US Treasury issued around $450,000,000 with which to fund the ultimately successful Union’s war effort. This new system worked so well and was so popular with the people that Lincoln considered making it a permanent arrangement. This would have sounded the death knell for the Rothschild’s well laid plans to ensnare the world unlawfully with massive debt. The panic felt by these criminal bankers over Lincoln’s ‘Greenbacks’ is reflected in this Times editorial:

“If that mischievous financial policy, which had its origin in the North American Republic, should become indurated down to a fixture, then that Government will furnish its own money without cost. It will pay off debts and be without a debt. It will have all the money necessary to carry on its commerce. It will become prosperous beyond precedence in the history of the civilised governments of the world. The brains and the wealth of all countries will go to North America. That government must be destroyed, or it will destroy every monarchy on the globe.” [source: http://www.webofdebt.com/excerpts/foreword.php]

So spoke the Rothschilds and their fiefdom, the City of London, as they realised what Lincoln’s initiative would mean to their vulnerable House of Cards debt creating power base. The threat of sovereign governments printing interest-free and debt-free paper money had to be removed.


On April 14th 1865, a certain John Wilkes Booth shot and killed Abraham Lincoln and with his death ended the debt free ‘greenbacks.’ However, almost one hundred years later, another US President paid the price for standing up to the Rothschilds by doing exactly the same again.

John F. Kennedy moments before his death
in Dallas, 22 November 1963
On June 4th 1963, closely advised and supported by his brother Bobby, President John F Kennedy signed Executive Order 11110 which authorised the US Treasury to bypass the Federal Reserve Bank (a private Central Bank controlled by the Rothschilds and the Rockefellers) and issue $4.29 billion as debt free and interest free money based on the value of silver bullion certificates. Once again the assassin’s bullet conveniently removed the problem for the Rothschilds – both the President and Bobby dying violent deaths.

Robert F. Kennedy killed by an assassin's bullet, 5 June 1968
There is some considerable doubt that Executive Order 11110 was ever rescinded and many believe it is still valid today. However, the US Treasury notes were quickly taken out of circulation and since then all the Presidents and their administrations, just like our own Prime Ministers and their governments, have been compliant and obedient to the wishes of the Rothschilds and their criminal network of debt-producing bankers.

When are people going to wake up? Current banking practices are just one big scam which can be resolved and put right by quite simply resorting to the commonsense and common decency that makes up Common Law. The City of London must be closed down with usury, the charging of interest on loans, along with the creation of money as debt, must be outlawed and never again allowed to be practised in Britain. The benign and responsible government issuance of debt-free and interest-free money, based upon the common wealth of the nation, is the future for Britain’s prosperity, defence, integrity and well-being.

PLEASE DO YOUR DUTY – DEFEND AND PROTECT THE PEOPLE!

George Osborne, our Bilderberg attending treasonous Chancellor who would appear to take his orders direct from the House of Rothschild, has told us that we all have to make a massive sacrifice to reduce our ever-widening ‘deficit’ (approximately £143 billion and growing)... you know, to pay off the interest from that imaginary money created out of complete ‘nothingness’ by those nice and honest people who work in the Rothschild controlled private banking sector.

Hotel de Bilderberg Oosterbeek, The Nerherlands, 1954
As part of our sacrifice to the ‘banksters’ we have seen our armed forces slashed and our ability to defend this country put in real jeopardy. We now have no aircraft carriers; no vertical take-off Harriers; no proper maritime reconnaissance aircraft; and two squadrons of Tornados are to go as will 20% of our regular soldiers by 2015.

We now have the smallest navy since Henry VIII, possibly as few as a dozen destroyers and frigates if the latest plans are realised! This is complete madness for a maritime and trade dependant nation! But unfortunately the traitors in Parliament see it another way. Great Britain will now have to work in partnership with other European countries if the gaps in our defences are to be filled... or to put it in a more truthful way, Great Britain’s sovereignty has been breeched and to defend ourselves militarily in the future we have to be an integral part of the European Union’s future combined armed forces... and all because we have to pay off the interest from imaginary money created out of ‘nothingness.’

This isn’t just madness, this is TREASON on a scale never before witnessed!

Therefore, to all serving members of our armed forces, we, who belong to this broad and diverse movement that makes up Lawful Rebellion, now urge you to immediately address this treason lawfully and to organise in such a way that openly supports the tenets and over-riding principles of Common Law and the historic and essential requirements of Magna Carta 1215. You have to become the protective shield for those honest and decent men and women who are now starting to take back our country peacefully and lawfully from the traitors, criminals, cowards and paedophiles who currently infest our Parliament.

British Parliament
Do you want to be the lackeys of the Rothschilds and the corporate greed that makes up the City of London, fighting unlawful wars at their behest so that they can create even more wealth for themselves, whilst leaving you on the scrap heap once your usefulness to them is over? They are scum and you are our best!

Our armed forces must now renew their position as the ultimate lawful champions and guardians of our Sovereignty, Common Law, Magna Carta, the Bill of Rights and everything that is decent and honest about our still wonderful country.


We also call upon all serving police men and women to stand up and help us to lawfully restore the supreme precedence of Common Law over corporate revenue raising Statute Rules being passed by our treasonous and corrupt politicians in order to wear down the population into accepting an Orwellian police style state – a state where those in unchallenged authority always know what’s ‘best’ for the people.

We urge you to research the current ‘corporate’ status of the police service – why are police constabularies and the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) listed by Dun and Bradstreet as Corporations? Strange things are also being discovered – for instance, it looks as though the Devon and Cornwall Police are owned by the computer giant IBM! How can this be? What’s going on? We ask you to ask the right questions and to openly confront those Chief Constables and senior police officers who have embraced the provable Fabian Society/Frankfurt School hidden agenda of deliberately and treasonously distressing our country from within in order to facilitate the loss of yet more sovereignty to the emerging European Union Superstate.

Ask about the real and provable hidden agenda of the so-called training charity Common Purpose and how Common Purpose Graduates are being fast tracked to senior positions of authority – the highly controversial Assistant Commissioner Cressida Dick of the Met being an obvious example. As with the politicians and the judiciary, any officer who is accused of betraying the honour and integrity of the police service must expect the full weight of Common Law justice.

Honest and decent law-abiding people demand an honest and decent law-abiding police service... a police service that is there to make our country safe from criminality and treason. We know that many of you good and honest police officers out there in the field know that something is deeply wrong but are keeping your heads down to protect your pensions. We just hope that courage will ultimately prevail and that you will now do the ‘decent thing’ to save our country from what is coming and will openly help us flush out the provable treason and criminality that now pervades the corridors of power... not to mention what now follows below!

THEY ARE EVEN HARMING AND STEALING OUR CHILDREN!

And talking of criminality, we now come to the most distressing reason why Lawful Rebellion in Britain has to succeed quickly and effectively. Over the last two years two separate but connected aspects of appalling child abuse have come to light leaving researchers stunned and absolutely appalled.

The first concerns compelling evidence, not only of the existence of organised paedophile rings around the country made up of trusted members within local communities, but that these paedophile rings are operating with the connivance of, and protection from, very senior politicians and rogue members of the police, judiciary and the legal system.

The second involves children being taken away from loving families by rogue social workers on the flimsiest of excuses after using the appalling and secretive Family Courts where Common Law jurisdiction is not allowed. The motive would appear to be financial gain due to the very large sums of money involved in the adoption process today but research is starting to show that vulnerable children are being identified, groomed and handed over to practicing paedophiles by these rogue elements within the police, judiciary and the legal system as well as social services. This evil has to be exposed and stopped immediately using the full force of Common Law.

Lawful Rebellion will do everything it takes within Common Law to immediately achieve this objective, especially as reliable information and intelligence is coming in which now indicates that a significant minority of politicians are actually practicing paedophiles themselves. If this is found to be true, then it will make the MPs expenses row look like the proverbial teddy bear’s picnic. One of the key ongoing cases is the Hollie Greig affair (www.holliedemandjustice.org) which is set to explode later this year and which will blow apart the foundations of the Scottish Parliament and will have very severe repercussions for the Palace of Westminster.

THE DAY WILL DAWN!

So there we have it! Our children are being harmed and abused in the most appalling ways possible by people in positions of trust; our country’s defences are being deliberately run down by traitors to pave the way for Europe to ‘defend’ us; our nation’s ancient sovereignty and constitutional traditions are being distressed without any sort of democratic accountability; our country’s social infrastructure is being downgraded to tackle the completely unlawful and imaginary ‘deficit’; and our people are increasingly becoming debt slaves as the whole country is being placed into corporate slavery by an unlawful deception plan that our political elite and rogue elements within the judiciary are both fully complicit with.

And we haven’t even touched on the two global scams of Man-made Global Warming and the so-called War on Terror; nor indeed the sinister attacks on our health by the global elite with their Malthusian plans for massive population reduction along with the worrying corporate ‘scientific’ takeover of our worldwide food production. By stealth and criminality on a truly staggering scale, the Rothschilds, along with the secretive and unaccountable cohorts that make up this so-called ‘New World Order,’ have effectively taken over our country as they have done with most of the other countries in the world... the global governance sought by them on their terms is now very close at hand and has got to be stopped. As Marcus Tullius Cicero said, a nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious but it cannot survive treason from within.

The grim truth is, we only have one last chance to put things right and whatever we do must be done lawfully and, wherever possible, peacefully. Lawful Rebellion is not a political party, we are a guiding movement for truth and justice completely within the law, Common Law, and as such this will make us attractive to all the decent and law-abiding people of this wonderful country of ours, regardless of so-called social status, creed or colour.


We are a movement which will make people happy and debt free, guarded by Common Law and common sense. We have already arrested a judge, albeit briefly, who was committing treason... no politician, judge or decision maker who has knowingly betrayed his or her country will now be safe from arrest.

We will not stop until our sovereignty and ability to defend ourselves have been effectively restored. We can withdraw immediately and lawfully from the European Union and not be tied down by any of its so-called ‘laws.’ We do not need a referendum to achieve this... the entry into the then EEC was achieved by provable deception and treason by Edward Heath and his Conservative government (http://www.acasefortreason.org.uk). Under Common Law any actions taken using treason and criminality have got to be declared null and void.


The key members of the House of Rothschild and their extensive network of traitors, criminals and paedophiles will be arrested and brought to justice whilst the City of London will be taken over and closed down – the heart of the beast will stop beating as the obscene debt generating money markets of the world collapse once disclosure of their true criminality and intentions become clear to all. As justice, decency and real integrity pervades business and politics around the globe, no longer will we witness on our TV screens the famines and extreme poverty that affect so much of the world.

For those fearful that this enormous transition will lead initially to extreme anarchy and violence, be assured that the full apparatus and panoply of Common Law will be in place to prevent any such break down of law and peace. If people cause harm, or loss, or commit a breech of the peace, or conduct their affairs with mischief, they can expect to be treated fairly but firmly by their peers and in a way that should deter others in the future.

Concerning business and finance, new debt-free and interest-free banking initiatives will be started such as www.lawfulbank.com. Political parties, which were only created to divide and rule and to represent self serving interests, will be abolished and outlawed.

Future Members of Parliament will be elected as individuals based on their strength of character, honesty, humility and wisdom along with the service that they have already given either to their country or to their community. Future debates in Parliament will be real debates and, with no whipping system allowed, the votes taken will be fair and honest reflecting the integrity of the Common Law approach to good government.

There is obviously a huge amount to be done to create a country that is really free from debt, fear and unhappiness, and there are bound to be areas where a real debate has yet to take place, such as the controversy surrounding the House of Windsor and the part it played in allowing our present predicament, but a start has been made... a real start that is going to have huge repercussions very soon for the criminals and traitors skulking in the shadows of Westminster and the City of London... we know where you are and we are now coming for you lawfully to bring you to justice under Common Law! [clip]

FINAL CONCLUSION

There’s a lot here to think about and I know that many of you might be put off from going any further. Please, I urge you, bite on the bullet and let’s get moving. Lawful Rebellion is happening up and down the country as ordinary decent people say ‘NO!’ to tyranny. We are not a hierarchical movement with leaders telling you what you should or should not be doing – as long as you and your group act in a peaceful and lawful way, the broader movement will support you in whatever you do to help wake up the population from the manipulated hypnosis and slumber it finds itself in.


The New World Order will not disappear tomorrow – it will probably do some pretty awful things soon to protect its power base. But the cracks are appearing and the dam holding back truth, happiness and real justice is getting ready to burst.

We, at the UK Column and the British Constitution Group, will do whatever we can to help you. And, in return, please feel free to approach us with any ideas you have to further the effectiveness of the rebellion.

Finally, good luck... and remember, whatever you do, have fun!

LAWFUL REBELLION

On Malaysia Day, a lesson from America...

There is a great deal we in Malaysia can learn from monitoring the economic and political flux in America - and no one better qualified to inspire us in the right direction than the magnificent Swami Beyondananda aka Steve Bhaerman...

Obama or Nobama, It’s Still Up to Us
September 15, 2010

By Steve Bhaerman

With Obama AWOL, the Evolutionary Up-Wising Must Proceed Without Him


“For the past generation, the Republicans have been playing hardball … and the Democrats have been playing hardly-have-balls.” ~ Swami Beyondananda

Well, what do you know? It’s happened again. The hopium has worn off, and in the sober light of morning we see that the white knight we hoped would save us (albeit a slightly darker white knight) has left us bereft. And our wallet is missing.

Progressives are bewailing the betrayal of progressive principles, but it’s worse than that. From the very first appointments – or should we say, disappointments – the Obama Administration installed more of the usual suspects instead of the unusual ones we had hoped for. The economic elites in power simply switched uniforms from red to blue. Bottom line, Obama bailed out Wall Street and bailed on Main Street.

True, the bail out was put in place by the Bush Administration. But it was given legitimacy by Obama, and in that one move Obama lost the independent voters who saw a glimmer of hope, a possibility that the unmitigated rule by the power of money could be counterbalanced, if not overcome.

He coulda been a contender. Instead, Obama took an apparent dive – and a bought us all a one-way ticket to palookaville. As to the “why,” take your choice. There is a really excellent article in the September, 2010 Vanity Fair that attributes Obama’s plight to a “broken Washington.” It’s a pretty inside-the-matrix analysis, but it’s valuable in showing the relationship between the American Devolution and the influence of money. In 2009, the article says, lobbyists spent $3.5 billion to leverage legislation. As an indication of how things have changed in just one “degeneration,” here is a quote from the article: “In the 1974 congressional elections, total spending on Senate and House races came to only $77 million. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, by 2008 the figure was $1.36 billion, with lobbyists providing a significant amount.”


In other words, Congressional campaigns cost seventeen times as much as they did 35 years ago. No wonder the Democrats have devolved into “Republican Lite.” They have felt obliged to follow the money instead of lead the conversation. As Ralph Nader wrote recently, “… the Democrats do not have a progressive philosophy.”

Other analyses are less forgiving, and portray Barack Obama as a Manchurian candidate riding the Trojan horse of “change” into the White House. A fact sheet distributed by St. Pete for Peace offers as much evidence as anyone needs to indicate that Obama’s prime allegiance is not to we the people but to the corporate state.

So … who or what is the real Obama? Is he an Aquarian visionary hamstrung by a dysfunctional system, or an inside player whose purpose all along was to low-jack progressivism on behalf of the corporate state?


And the answer is … it doesn’t matter.

It doesn’t matter because nothing could, would or will change without an independent political movement of “we the people.” Even Obama hinted at that during his campaign, telling the American people, “It’s about you.”

And now, nearly two years after the election, and more than a year-and-a-half since the inauguration, there is no independent citizens movement. We have the same third and fourth parties limping along, and the truth is we don’t need a new third party in America.

We need a new first party.

To have that, we must give up hopium, and end the dope addiction (i.e., our addiction to electing dopes who don’t really represent our true interests) that has so severely weakened the body politic that we the people have become a non-factor in governance, diverted from the real issues by bipolar politics and a media side-show.

Here is my declaration, prayer and intention:

May the 2010 mid-term election be the last bullshit election held in America.

May it be the last election, where “mosque-debating” obfuscates the real issues of who’s in charge, and who’s in charge of who’s in charge.


May it be the last election where people’s hard-earned money – not to mention the hardly-earned money spent by the economic elites – is used to perpetrate lies, distortions and manipulative misinformation.


May it be the last election where the mainstream corporate media calls the shots of what gets covered.


May it be the last election where only money talks, and where “free speech” is free – unless of course, you want it to be broadcast widely, in which case it costs lots and lots of money.


And the Good News Is…?

There is good news, folks … but only if WE make it.
