The Global Elite: Who are they?

from The August Review

Introduction

There are two common misconceptions held by those who are critical of globalism.

The first error is that there is a very small group of people who secretly run the world with all-powerful and unrestrained dictatorial powers. The second error is that there is a large amorphous and secret organization that runs the world. In both cases, the use of the word "they" becomes the culprit for all our troubles, whoever "they" might be. If taxes go up, it is "they" that did it. If the stock market goes down, "they" are to blame. Of course, nobody really knows who "they" are so a few figureheads (people or organizations) are often made out to be the scapegoats.

Depending on a person's politics and philosophy, the scapegoats could be the U.S. President, the ACLU, the Ford Foundation, or Vladimir Putin. The point is, the real power structure is not correctely defined, and thus escapes exposure.

These misconceptions are understandable because when things are wrong, we all have a driving need to know who to blame! In some cases, elitist slight-of-hand initiates and then perpetuates false assumptions.

This writer has never been accused of charging that all large corporations are guilty of initiating and perpetuating globalization. There are many businesses, including banks, who are led by moral, ethical and good-hearted businessmen or businesswomen. Just because a company might touch globalism does not mean it and its management or employees are evil.

Every bit of thirty-five years of research indicates that there is a relatively small yet diverse group of global players who have been the planners and instigators behind globalization for many decades. The primary driving force that moves this "clique" is greed; the secondary force is the lust for power. In the case of the academics who are key to globalism, a third force is professional recognition and acceptance (a subtle form of egoism and power.)

It is also important to understand that core globalists have full understanding of their goals, plans and actions. They are not dimwitted, ignorant, misinformed or naive.

The global elite march in three essential columns: Corporate, Political and Academic. For the sake of clarity, these names will be used herein to refer to these three groups.

In general, the goals for globalism are created by Corporate. Academic then provides studies and white papers that justify Corporate's goals. Political sells Academic's arguments to the public and if necessary, changes laws to accommodate and facilitate Corporate in getting what it wants.

An important ancillary player in globalism is the media, which we will call Press in this report. Press is necessary to filter Corporate, Academic and Political's communications to the public. Press is not a fourth column, however, because it's purpose is merely reflective. However, we will see that Press is dominated by members of Corporate, Political and Academic who sit on the various boards of directors of major Press organizations.

DAWN OF THE ERA OF COMMON-ISM

If you are in doubt about what is happening in America, you need to read, research, find out. So, tell your kid to be quiet, and do his/her homework; tell your spouse you need one half hour of uninterrupted time to begin to discover what you need to know about your country. As John F. Kennedy said: "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country". Your country needs you now. Time to work.

Or, do as I do, and make it play, not work. All these forces of good and evil are playing out within my soul, my being, and I simply watch it taking place, even as I fight. That is, when I remember who I am. That's the trick, isn't it? To remember who we are, really. I am no different from you; in fact, we are the same, when all the outer forms are stripped away. The same consciousness. Otherwise, we couldn't communicate at all. Our nature is human nature. That nature is suffused with, and upheld by knowledge, consciousness, happiness.

Greed for power is manifesting world-wide into a Totalitarian World. But the power being sought after is temporal, a will-o-the-wisp, compared to the power of being. This God-less, Soul-less persona they are attempting to project on us is false; they have misunderstood the sruti and scriptures of revelation. They will pay the price for their actions, but they will not touch my soul.

That said, it is time to set aside our political differences, and take a good, hard look at what our Federal Government is doing to confuse the American public, you and me - and in the name of a "Global Alliance", a "New World Order", Novus Ordo Seclorum (Latin for "New Order of the Ages").If you click on the back of the dollar bill, you will see, just under the triangle, like a big smile, the words Novus Ordo Seclorum. It's part of an ancient Masonic symbol. Why is it there?

As always, the Devil is in the details. And, not surprisingly, the trail begins with fiat money: but it doesn't end there. Not by a long shot.
Robert Pastor, David Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger, Maurice Strong, and all their ilk of the Round Table, the Club of Rome, the CFR, and the Trilateral Commission, have foisted upon us a demeaning yoke of oppression which will only get heavier and more irksome to all free men everywhere. But it's not a fait accompli. Not yet. It's only a done deal if we, as a nation of sovereigns, accept the yoke. There is still time to say, "No way, José". We are going to have to look for new, original solutions, because the Democratic Republic as we once knew it is fading fast. Only a shell is left. Open your eyes.

Don't let them get to your kids. Take them out of school. Find another way to educate them. It can be done. Be brave. Be bold.

Here are two excellent articles up on NewsWithViews.com.

DAWN OF THE ERA OF COMMON-ISM

The lines used to be so clear. On one side were free markets, free societies and openly elected representative governments, normally defined as democracy. On the other, was the force of totalitarianism choking off individual initiative, private ownership of property, cynically providing a ballot box with but one choice, normally defined as Communism. In the end, the "Evil Empire" disintegrated under the weight of its own ignorance of human nature. Or did it?

Conservatives hailed the victory, dispatching Communism to the "ash-heap of history." Many Conservative leaders have put forth the idea that we are living in a "Conservative era," using as proof the Republican takeover of Congress and the worldwide movement toward democracy and free trade. The demise of Communism, some say, now allows a spirit of cooperation among nations that will bring on the benefits of worldwide prosperity and a universal increase in the standard of living.

Yet many Americans are concerned that the same leaders who proclaim American ideals are spreading across the globe have failed to protect constitutionally guaranteed liberties here at home. The assaults on property rights and personal privacy along with the transformation of local schools under federal programs, and above all, the seeming lack of concern for national sovereignty and protection of the nation's borders are the obvious contradictions to the proposition that Conservative ideas now reign supreme.

Other goals seem to be taking center stage. The rule of law in our Republic, designed to insure individual rights from intrusive government, is being replaced by a new ideology; one that tends to allow the concerns of interest groups to supersede the inherent rights of the individual. Further, the interests of the United States of America now seem to take a back seat to something called the "Global Commons." National identities and individual religions appear to be morphing into non-descript and indistinguishable arrangements to some unidentified whole. Science has been reduced to little more than a convenient political tool to promote agendas. Self-determination is being replaced with group-think.

What is happening to our way of life and to our nation, as it once was? Communism is dead. Capitalism is fading. We have begun a new era called Common-ism.

THE FINAL BATTLE HYMN FOR AMERICA IS BEING SUNG

By Greg Evensen
NewsWithViews.com

The sound of battle is a peculiar one. It includes the shuffling of many feet, the rustle of people moving in combat gear, the lowered voices of people encouraging others not to let fear prevail, the sound of equipment moving forward, and a salute to others as you disappear into the terrain.

In a symbolic sense, that is happening at this moment. The battle lines have been drawn and they encircle our nation, coast to coast and border to border. The enemy strongholds are found in Washington D.C., many state capitals, and deep in the bowels of corporate America as well as with the banksters everywhere.

The enemy has strongholds in dangerous groups who worship the planet instead of Jesus. They are invading our classrooms on a daily basis with lies, distortions and dangerous position statements about true US history, the dangerous and creeping evil of the UN worldwide, but specifically in the US. THE ENEMY IS HIDING THE REAL VALUE OF EACH LIFE. That is the life that is threatened by abortionists, pedophiles, and death- dealing drug merchants in gangs and in clinics.

Many so-called mainline churches believe they are somehow fulfilling the Christian mission by breaking faith with the members of their congregations in declaring themselves to be an sanctuary for Mexican aliens while hiding behind a 501C-3 status. Churches don’t have the guts to preach the truth as it is, let alone to “assume” that they have some heavenly right to break earthly laws. All priests, pastors, ministers, and rabbi’s that undertake these dangerous efforts and thumb their noses at the law and their parishioners are wolves in sheep’s clothing. They are to be shunned at all costs. Their churches need to be closed and the guilty parties prosecuted. A church that upholds Biblical truths and preaches against the sin of adultery, homosexuality, drug usage and any number of societal ills brought on by far too much “tolerance” in the church and in our communities are targeted as bigoted and “out of touch” with society. The old adage is true. Why does God turn His back (or so some think) on America? Because we have legislated Him out of our national life. He is a God of honor. He has left us like we demanded, to our own stupidity and arrogance. How utterly and completely foolish.

Lincoln and Kennedy both introduced Treasury authorized notes into the nation’s money supply. They both bypassed the banking establishment of their time and brought “debt-free” bills into the financing system. Thus, the controlling banks in the 1860’s and the Federal Reserve of the 1960”s were faced with a loss of control and “income” derived from national debt. Is it a coincidence that both men were killed? Banksters are just that. Bankers who control the system, and gangsters that live off the interest of a debt based currency (interest paid for by ALL of our illegally collected income tax funds combined) issued by a private bank. How stupid must we continue to be? Shut the monster down and free our people from the clutches of these demons. Read on...

I would only say to Mr. Evensen that God hasn't turned His back on America. He hasn't left America. He is here and more real than we are. It is Man, both here and in Europe, who has turned his back on God.

Let's begin to shut the monster down. I always pray for guidance, before beginning any important task. It's the sensible thing to do.

German Homeschooled Girl Returned Home

Posted: May 17, 2007

A German appeals court has ordered legal custody of Melissa Busekros, the teenager who was taken from her home by a police squad and detained in a psychiatric hospital for being homeschooled, be returned to her family because she no longer is in danger...

The lower court's ruling had ordered police officers to take Melissa – then 15 – from her home, if necessary by force, and place her in a mental institution for a variety of evaluations. She was kept in custody from early February until April, when she turned 16 and under German law was subject to different laws.

At that point she simply walked away from the foster home where she had been required to stay and returned home, but she and her family had been living under the possibility that police would intervene again.

German Appeals Court Returns Custody of Homeschooled Girl to Parents

Your prayers and support have helped make possible a rare victory for a homeschooling family in Germany. Yesterday, a German appeals court in Bavaria set aside a lower court ruling that had authorized the Youth Welfare Office in Erlangen Germany to retain custody of 16-year-old homeschooler Melissa Busekros.

In its opinion the Appeals Court stated that although the lower court ruling was justified based on the evidence at the time, later evidence shows that there is no danger to Melissa’s well-being at home.

In an email to Home School Legal Defense Association the Busekros had this to say:

“The decision by the family court was partially repealed. The important points (custody) were revoked! What remains are the court-appointed lawyer and the evaluation. The urgent appeal has thereby been completed, but now the main case continues in the family court. However, urgent decisions without a hearing may no longer be made. Thank you for all the help we received through phone-calls, emails, letters, parcels, newspaper articles, radio, TV and prayers!!”

Your support of HSLDA and our Home School Foundation’s Germany Fund has allowed us to help fund Melissa's attorney who appealed the lower courts decision achieving this important victory.

HSLDA acknowledges the efforts of other organizations including the International Human Rights Group, and two German Homeschooling Organizations, Schuzh and Netzwerk Bildungsfreiheit. The work of these groups, along with HSLDA and HSLDA members who made phone calls, sent letters and emails, helped maintain constant pressure on this issue and doubtless helped to create the groundwork for this decision.

In spite of this positive development for the Busekros family, the plight of German homeschoolers continues with constant harassment, fines and worse by German authorities. HSLDA’s new strategy to help create change in Germany will involve funding academic studies, political lobbying, and legal defense for families in need, like the Busekros family. This strategy supports the work being done by German homeschoolers to change the laws so that Homeschooling in Germany becomes free and legal.

Thank you for all you do on behalf of Homeschooling freedom here in the United States and in Germany.

We had better take note of this state of affairs in Germany, because it is not a stretch at all to see that happening here in America. In fact it would be instructive to look into the state of affairs in that country, just to see how they arrived at the level of government/ judicial intervention which can forcibly take a home-schooled child away from her parents, because she showed "too great a devotion to her family". And the fight in good old Deutschland isn't over by a long shot. They backed off because of negative pressure from human rights groups such as the Home School Legal Defense Association, but the homeschoolers are very much still under the gun, both figuratively and literally.

And here in the USA, it is the game-plan to subvert the money vouchers, and use their influence to set the federal, permissible guidelines in which private schools are held to the same dumbing-down curricula being fostered on public schools. Three days ago, Secretary of Education, Margaret Spellings, made this pronouncement in a key-note address to the NAACP:

"I believe it [No Child Left Behind] is not just an education law, it's a civil rights law, designed to make America's promise a reality for all its citizens".

Better pay attention when they start talking about "civil rights" for children. That's Newspeak for putting parental rights on the side, which you may have noticed, they are already doing.


Homeschoolers, you are next on their agenda. Get ready for a fight.

And you had better believe Shrillary (it takes a village) Clinton has designs on our children. The modus operandi these days for the One World Government gang, of which she is a paid-up member, is to follow the Communist's "two steps forward, one step back" method, always with the goal of creating the most powerful federal public education system possible. They do this by linking the money for education to their NWO global agenda. "Guidelines" set by the Trilateral Commission founded by Bilderberger David Rockefeller, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), and the NEA, will continue to dominate unless and until enough sovereign Americans say, enough - STOP.

Hillary proposes preschool for all in federal-state effort

By Amy Fagan
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
May 22, 2007

Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Hillary Clinton yesterday proposed that the federal government provide states with up to $10 billion to ensure all 4-year-olds have pre-kindergarten education.

"Every child not just children whose parents can afford it should have the same chance to succeed," said Mrs. Clinton, New York Democrat. "As president, I will establish universal pre-kindergarten education through a federal-state partnership."

In the first major education initiative of her campaign, Mrs. Clinton proposed a voluntary program yesterday that would start with a $5 billion federal commitment for interested states to create universal pre-K programs or bolster their existing ones, including Head Start. States would match the investment dollar for dollar, and the federal contribution would increase to $10 billion over five years, as state investment did.

Mrs. Clinton said she'd pay for the hefty price tag by getting rid of tax loopholes and some Bush administration programs, according to the Associated Press. She said ending the Iraq war would free up some money as well, the AP reported.

Critics said her pre-K plan would be major expansion of the federal role in education, when preschool programs haven't truly been proven effective.

"Senator Clinton is really proposing to pressure states into implementing universal preschool. That's really a remarkable new role for federal government," said Dan Lips of the Heritage Foundation. Thirty-eight states had preschool programs in 2006, according to the National Institute for Early Education Research. The Clinton camp stressed their program would be voluntary, but Mr. Lips said the draw of money would lure states into what would become a web of new federal rules.

And no, it doesn't stop. There is a madness engulfing the world, and it is beginning to look doubtful that a sane political solution will prevail. But that is all the more reason to fight the forces of darkness as if our very existence depends on it - because in fact, it does.
