The Y2K Computer Glitch Scare that Wasn’t

25 years ago

The year 2000 (Y2K) problem scared the world. Although some were ready to “party like it’s 1999,” others predicted catastrophe at the end of the year because of a programming assumption from the early days of computers. Y2K entered the cultural conversation over concerns that technology and automated systems would fail when their clocks had to convert the date from Dec. 31, 1999 to Jan. 1, 2000. Age of Technological Fear any assumed that electronics would not be able to compute dates that did not begin with “19” … Read More

NAFTA comes into force. Did Ross Perot’s Prediction of a ‘Giant Sucking Sound’ of Jobs & Businesses Leaving the US come True?

31 years ago

Under Bill Clinton (a CFR member who selected 12 CFR members for his cabinet), the United States enacted NAFTA, an economic alliance with Mexico and Canada. This arrangement was created by the establishment, not by the American people, who did not suspect the game being played on them. Not only did NAFTA swamp us with cheap, job-destroying imports, but it was designed to be the foundation for a continental economic union leading to political union. Robert Pastor (CFR), a key architect of North American integration, acknowledged in the … Read More

Canadian Journalist, Serge Monast, Exposes Project Blue Beam – a Scientific Plan to Usher in a One World Religion and New World Order

Following is the transcript of a taped presentation by Serge Monast, a French-speaking Canadian journalist. Although there was no date on the tape, Monast speaks of 1983 as “eleven years ago”, so we will assume this talk took place in 1994. We heard rumors from time to time of harassment against Mr. Monast, and later had heard that he was killed. That is an unconfirmed (by us) report. Because the tape from which we transcribed was not of high quality, and along with the very heavy French accent, … Read More

The book, The Conspirators Hierarchy, the Committee of 300, was written by John Coleman, a man who once claimed to have worked for the CIA and MI6. Coleman learned by the early 90s that an international committee, spearheaded by the Bilderberg Group and Western intelligence agencies, would guide the world toward a “post-industrial” hellscape controlled by technocrats who came to influence during the Carter administration. “At least 4 billion ‘useless eaters’ shall be eliminated by the year 2050 by means of limited wars, organized epidemics of fatal rapid-acting diseases … Read More

The Secular Humanist Bulletin has given writer John Dunphy another platform from which to present his views about how the humanists plan to use the public school classroom to proselytize for their ideology. The Humanist magazine published an essay by John Dunphy in its January/February 1983 issue entitled “A Religion for A New Age.” This essay has been widely quoted ever since as evidence of the humanists’ plan to impose their values on public school children. Now, the Secular Humanist Bulletin of Summer 1994 (described on its masthead … Read More

John Holdren, later appointed by Obama as Science Czar (2009), in his book “Ecoscience”, he advocates for extreme totalitarian measures (such as forced abortion and mass sterilization through water supply) to control the population: “Indeed, it has been concluded that compulsory population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution if the population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the society.” and “One way to carry out this disapproval might be to insist that all illegitimate babies be put up for adoption … Read More

The Beginnings of BCCI’s Arrival in America, the Bank that would Quickly Become a Magnet for Drug Money Laundering and Other Corruption

48 years ago

Two Indonesian billionaires come to Arkansas. Mochtar Riady and Liem Sioe Liong are close to Indonesian President, General Suharto. Riady is looking for an American bank to buy. Riady’s agent is Jackson Stephens, who also brokers the arrival of BCCI to this country and steers BCCI’s founder, Hassan Abedi, to Bert Lance. Apparently because of pressure from Indonesia, Riady withdraws his bid to buy Lance’s 30% share of the National Bank of Georgia. Instead, a BCCI front man buys the shares and Abedi moves to secretly take over … Read More

A speech was given before a patriotic audience at the Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C., on behalf of Conde McGinley’s patriotic newspaper of that time, Common Sense. Freedman gives an insider’s viewpoint (as a high-level insider of Jewish organizations) of history over the last 100 years and beyond, as he discusses that the so called Jews are actually a Pagan and Barbarian tribe that adopted the Talmudic religion, and are the true conspirators behind the shadow government, and clandestine takeover of the world.

Bella Dodd, a former leader in the Communist Party of America (CPUSA) in the 1930’s and 40’s who defected, wrote “School of Darkness”, which reveals that Communism was a hoax perpetrated by Jewish Illuminati financiers “to control the common man” and to advance world tyranny. Dodd describes Communism as “a strange secret cult” whose goal is the destruction of Western (i.e. Christian) Civilization. Millions of naive idealists (“innocents”) are tricked by its talk of helping the poor, but it cares only for power. Bella Dodd was born Maria Asunta … Read More

89 U.S. Cities were Being Fluoridated by 1950 with Industrial Waste Fluoride from ALCOA Despite No Evidence that it Reduced Tooth Decay

75 years ago

By 1950, 89 US cities were being fluoridated through the water supply, despite no credible evidence ever submitted that demonstrated that it reduced tooth decay (see 1937 entry), or did anything other than cause disease, misery, and death. By 1950, ALCOA, who had funded the research and falsified data to save millions in disposing of the poisonous chemical, was in a new line of business: selling sodium fluoride to cities to put into their water supply. ALCOA was advertising the blessed purity of its sodium fluoride. Reality had … Read More

Wisner was told to create an organization that concentrated on “propaganda, economic warfare; preventive direct action, including sabotage, anti-sabotage, demolition and evacuation measures; subversion against hostile states, including assistance to underground resistance groups, and support of indigenous anti-Communist elements in threatened countries of the free world.” Later that year Wisner established Mockingbird, … Read More

Guatemala Syphilis Experiment (1946-53): U.S. Doctors Secretly Infected Soldiers, Prisoners and Mental Patients with Syphilis and other STD’s

79 years ago

US government scientists who infected Guatemalans with syphilis and gonorrhea as part of a study that began in 1946 knew they were violating ethical rules according to a US presidential panel. The researchers infected hundreds of prisoners, psychiatric patients and sex workers during the 1940s to study the effects of penicillin. None of the Guatemalans were informed. Dr Amy Gutmann, head of the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues, called the research a “shameful piece of medical history”. “It is important that we accurately document this … Read More

Did Winston Churchill Engineer a Famine in Bengal, India that Starved 3 Million men, Women, and Children to Death?

82 years ago

3 million people died in a Winston Churchill engineered famine. While Britain stockpiled food, even importing tens of thousands of pounds of rice from India, Churchill, knowing their dire situation, refused to send any of the food to India, choosing to stockpile until the price went up. He even chose to bypass India on food shipments from Australia, a previous stop for the ships. The sweeping famine of Bengal occurred simultaneously with the German-inflicted genocide in Europe. While Churchill formulated policies to free Britain from the clutches of Hitler’s superior … Read More

Superman and Captain America Enter WWII Before the U.S. Thanks to Timely Comics (now Marvel Comics) War Propaganda. Batman Follows Suit in ’42

84 years ago

Timely Comics and National Allied Publications became involved in the U.S. war effort during World War II. In propagating the collaborative wartime message of WWII, many superheroes entered the war. In exemplification, National Allied Publications, a predecessor to DC Comics, in 1938, introduced Superman in Action Comics #1 and by early 1941; Superman was fighting a Nazi paratrooper in the air. Through the creation and publication of comics, it illustrated the necessity to target the enemies’ vulnerabilities in character and reputation. Timely Comics, later to become Marvel Comics, created Captain America and he entered World War II in early 1941: “Captain America … Read More

Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. By this method they not only confiscate, but they confiscate arbitrarily; and, while the process impoverishes many, it actually enriches some. The sight of this arbitrary rearrangement of riches strikes not only at security, but at confidence in the equity of the existing distribution of wealth. Those … Read More

As the Interchurch World Movement was gaining momentum, Samuel Zane Batten wrote a book titled “The New World Order”, published in 1919 by the American Baptist Publication Society. In this book, Batten paints a picture of a world entering a new phase in which a “new order” is rising out of the turmoil of World War. Batten proposed that a “world federation” be created which would be supported by an “international mind” and justified by a faith of “world patriotism.” It begins: The world can never again be … Read More

Mortality Rates of Smallpox Increased Drastically Following Mass Vaccinations in the Philippines

107 years ago

Possibly as early as December 1917, but certainly by the first of 1918, the US Army began the forced vaccination of 3,285,376 natives in the Philippines when no epidemic was brewing, only the sporadic cases of the usual mild nature. Of the vaccinated persons, 47,369 came down with small-pox, and of these 16,477 died. In 1919 the experiment was doubled. 7,670,252 natives were vaccinated. Of these 65,180 victims came down with small-pox, and 44,408 died. In the first experiment, one-third died, and in the second, two-thirds of the … Read More

The Scofield Reference Bible is First Printed to Advance the Zionist Deception

116 years ago

Prior to the Scofield Bible, the Rockefellers were instrumental in orchestrating the Modernist movement, assaulting every fundamental doctrine of Christianity, for the long-range ecumenical purpose of absorbing it into a one-world religion. The Fundamentalist movement rejected Modernism, intending to stand by the faith’s original tenets. Unfortunately, as we will now see, Fundamentalism was itself infiltrated and hijacked, consistent with the Rothschild strategy of funding both sides of wars. Fundamentalist churches were targeted to enlist their support for the Zionist agenda. The two principal agents in this scheme were … Read More

The Emancipation Proclamation Goes into Effect

In the 1857 Dred Scott decision, the U. S. Supreme Court – disregarding the constitutionally-authorized ban – declared that Congress could not interfere with slavery or prohibit it in any territory, thereby “reopening the African slave trade [through] perversions of judicial power.” Republicans won the election of 1860 and, in accordance with this plank in their platform, they begin to take action to end slavery. For example, in 1862, they passed a federal law prohibiting slavery in the federal territories – a direct affront to the 1857 Dred … Read More

The Permanent Instruction of the Alta Vendita (commonly called the Alta Vendita) is a document, originally published in French in 1859, purportedly produced by the highest lodge of the Italian Carbonari and written by “Piccolo Tigre,” codename for Giuseppe Mazzini. In his book ‘Athanasius and the Church of Our Time’, Bishop Rudolph Graber quoted a Freemason who declared that “the goal (of the Illuminati) is no longer the destruction of the Church, but to make use of it by infiltrating it.” In other words, since the Illuminati (who had … Read More

Sir Walter Scott publishes his nine volume set, ‘The Life of Napoleon’ and in Volume II he states that the French Revolution was planned by the Illuminati (Adam Weishaupt) and was financed by the money changers of Europe (The Rothschilds). Sir Walter Scott sums up the situation with these words — “These financiers used the (French) Government as bankrupt prodigals are treated by usurious money-lenders who, feeding the extravagance with one hand, with the other wring out of their ruined fortunes the most unreasonable recompenses for their advances.

WE Americans live in a society awash in historical celebrations. The last few years have witnessed commemorations of the bicentennial of the Louisiana Purchase (2003) and the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II (2005). Looming on the horizon are the bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln’s birth (2009) and the sesquicentennial of the outbreak of the Civil War (2011). But one significant milestone went strangely unnoticed: the 200th anniversary of Jan. 1, 1808, when the importation of slaves into the United States was prohibited. This neglect stands … Read More

Thomas Jefferson sends his ‘Wall of Separation’ Danbury Letter: Did He Intend to Separate Church and State?

Thomas Jefferson sent his ‘wall of separation’ letter to the Danbury Baptist Association to assure them that although the state offered them religious freedoms only “as favors granted, and not as inalienable rights,” that at least the national Congress could never make a law respecting an establishment of religion. The First Amendment, then, erected “a wall of separation between church and state.” In 1947 the Supreme Court does just what the First Amendment set out to prohibit, federal control over religious matters of the people.

William Paley (1743-1805), in his 1802 classic, Natural Theology, summarized the viewpoint of the scientists. He argued that the kind of carefully designed structures we see in the living world point clearly to a Designer. If we see a watch, we know that it had a designer and maker; it would be foolish to imagine that it made itself. This is the “argument by design.” All about us is the world of nature, and over our heads at night is a universe of stars. We can ignore or … Read More

To the 20th and 21st centuries, the story would seem to begin in the year 1939 when the book Alcoholics Anonymous was published.

George Washington Inspires a Tired and Defeated Army to Continue the Fight for Liberty

George Washington faced a grim moment January 1, 1777. All enlistments for the Continental Army had expired on that date and all of the army, or at least what was left of it, was free to go home. This would not just cripple the Revolution, but probably end it. He gathered his troops together, the drum roll began, and the general asked all those willing to extend their tours to step forward. Not one soul moved. Then, as Tim Ballard tells it in his book The Washington Hypothesis, … Read More

A Secret Society called The Knights of the Apocalypse is Established in Italy Supposedly to Protect the Catholic Church from the Antichrist

In true secret society form, there isn’t a whole lot out there on the Knights of the Apocalypse – but what we do know is thoroughly compelling. The arcane group was established in Italy in 1693 by Augustine Gabrino, the son of a merchant. The purpose of the society was supposedly to protect the Catholic Church against the Antichrist, and it would seem that Gabrino took his duty rather seriously. In the same year the secret society was founded, Gabrino was at the heart of two strange outbursts in the church. In the first, … Read More

Europe’s Black Death Kills 50 to 75 Million People

Every child learns at school that the Black Death was spread by rats which carried infected fleas. But the textbooks may need to be changed, as a new study suggests rodents have been unfairly blamed for the plague which killed millions of people across medieval Europe. The Black Death, it appears, may not have been spread by filthy rats, but by lice and fleas carried by humans instead. Researchers from Oslo University created a mathematical model for how people would have died if rats were the villains. But … Read More
