Why did ‘The Matrix’ resonate with so many? Because the
world we live in and think we know so well was created by others for their
benefit; and we all know this to some degree. It’s like a splinter in our
brain.
“What you know you can’t explain, but you feel it. You’ve
felt it your entire life, that there’s something wrong with the world. You
don’t know what it is, but it’s there, like a splinter in your mind, driving
you mad.” –Morpheus
This latticework of myths and brainwashing has been going on
since the beginning of written history and likely before. The question for the
elite–our rulers, masters, etc. –is how to control and manage the vast
unwashed masses of humanity? The evidence this is true surrounds all of us, if
we are willing to observe without prejudice; however, others like Cypher
(below) prefer eating the steak despite knowing it is all a hoax.
Cypher: “You know, I know this steak doesn’t exist. I know
that when I put it in my mouth, the Matrix is telling my brain that it is juicy
and delicious. After nine years, you know what I realize? Ignorance is bliss.”
Here’s a smattering of some of the myths I was born into and
believed completely:
• Truth and Justice are the American way
• America is a peaceful country trying to spread democracy across the world
• Experts and authorities have the right answers and can be trusted
• The FBI is here to protect us
• The CIA is necessary and all the bad things they do are to protect our
national security
• World War II was necessary to rid the world of evil Hitler
• Hitler gassed six million Jews
• A single gunman who was a communist shot and killed JFK
• The Vietnam War was a mistake – we were just trying to rid the world of
communism
Since the attacks on 9/11 and our government’s preposterous
explanation, I have taken the time and care to look deeper and more carefully
at supporting historical documents that can only be proven – not guessed at.
This exercise required an examination of many heretofore unexamined assumptions
which led me to some hard, cold facts that are indisputable. It also taught me
how to research so that I do not accept the first opinion or theory that
resonates with my existing biases.
My conclusion is that we do live in a matrix; though not as
technologically cool as presented in the 1999 movie ‘The Matrix’; but as our
technology improves, we are getting closer.
If you are like me, you believe in ‘live and let live’ so
you really didn’t care what consenting adults did in the privacy of their own
homes as long as they were not harming anyone, especially children. We thought
that we could give in to this so called gay agenda and leave them to their own
devices. But this was not enough. We now find this was the proverbial camel’s
nose under the tent. Now –to our amazement and shock– we discover –perhaps
too late– the camel is sleeping comfortably in the tent and we are left out in
the elements with no protection from the cold, heat and the rain. This is
astounding when we consider the percent of the population claiming to be LGBT
is only 4.5% and those identifying as transgender are a tiny 0.6%. So why then
has such a tiny minority been able to set the national agenda and steam-roller
over all the rest of us without so much as a whimper? A: Normalizing the LGBT
life-style has been promulgated through our print and news media, our
universities and public school systems and glamorized in our entertainment
media; non-stop and unabated for years. The cumulative impact has devastated
our youth and our culture. This is no mistake, but a carefully planned agenda;
well-financed to fundamentally transform our culture into something
unrecognizable only a few decades ago. Our youth will grow up in this
environment thinking these new life-styles are normal and the way it has always
has been. What will be the impact? The continued destruction of the family and
the atomizing of the American public into discrete units, easily controllable
and manipulated. The next phase in this decadent, family-destroying agenda has
already begun as our media promote the sexualization of our children. It is
time to stop being a door mat and kick the camel out of the tent.
I know everyone wants to hate Iran, but they didn’t get here by themselves…
On the matter of Iran:
Iranians are Persian not Arab
Iranians are Shia Muslims
Arabs are Sunni Muslims
Shia has about 200 million followers
Sunni has about 1.2 billion followers
Shia and Sunni don’t like each other
Iranians are well-educated, sophisticated, intelligent people.
Iran is currently a Theocracy or an Islamic Republic which the Iranian people do not like. How did they get this reprehensible government?
Mosaddeq coup – CIA Operation Ajax: Mohammad Mosaddegh was the 35th prime minister of Iran, holding office from 1951 until 1953, when his government was overthrown in the 1953 Iranian coup d’état orchestrated by the United States’ Central Intelligence Agency and the United Kingdom’s MI6.
The USA replaced Mohammad Mosaddegh by a brutal, murderous U.S. lap dog and psychopath known as the Shah of Iran. The CIA ran the Shah and his secret police SAVAK. My Iranian friends here in the USA were terrified of SAVAK even while studying here in the land of the free and the brave. They would only whisper and speak of certain things privately because of their abject fear of SAVAK. They knew my government put the Shah in power, yet they did not hold this against me, a U.S. Citizen.
Ruhollah Khomeini as Supreme Leader 1979 – 1989 founded the cruel Islamic Republic of Iran of today. This new and improved psycho murdered many people including little 13 year old girls because they were of the Bahá’í Faith. He would hang 6 at a time from cranes.
Khomeini’s fatwa ‘led to killing of 30,000 in Iran’
Q: Why is the rest of the Middle East in such a mess?
A: Sykes–Picot Agreement* for starters which partitioned the Ottoman Empire in 1916 across culture and religious lines assuring continued destabilization of the Middle East. From here the US meddling and bloody regime change just gets worse.
So put away the hater-AID until you’ve taken some time to think.
* Lines were drawn to impose maximum destabilization to make it easier to rule. “The line across a map of the Middle East it drew created colonial spheres of influence that cut directly and artificially across a region that had previously been divided along ethnic, linguistic and religious lines.”
In an effort to regain control of the narrative, NewsGuard will be on your phone and browser soon. I’ve heard that you will not be able to remove it on certain browsers and devices — there will be no opt-out. The trick here is for our ruling class to tell the masses what is good news and what is not. If you visit an approved news site like ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, NYT, etc., you will get a nice green rating… other sites will have either a yellow or red rating to warn you that what you are reading is ‘FAKE NEWS’. The point here is to condition you –like Pavlov’s doggy– to always seek the green light. It’s an emotional signal. This will allow the political ruling class to more effectively herd their livestock to the correct way of thinking, while putting their competition out of business. If they can get away with this thought control gimmick, I’m sure something like Google’s Dragonfly and China’s ‘social credit’ system will be soon to follow here in the West.
BTW: The Smith-Mundt Act of 1945 prohibited the use of propaganda against our own citizens here in the USA; however, The Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012 now makes it legal for the US State Department –this includes the CIA– and the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) to use propaganda here on US Citizens. Yes, your Democrats and your Republicans voted this into law.

Recommended reading… Lord Milner’s Second War: The Rhodes-Milner Secret Society; The Origin of World War I; and the Start of the New World Order by Mr John P. Cafferky (2013-01-03)
BACK COVER
Why did European diplomacy fail to avert World War I? Revisionist historians have long suspected that the President of France and the Russian Ambassador to France cooperated in bringing about the war, but they failed to identify the British partner to the plot. Lord Milner’s Second War exposes the role played by the Rhodes-Milner secret society in fomenting World War I. Lord Milner and his friends staged a coup in British foreign policy, culminating with the appointment of Sir Edward Grey as Foreign Secretary, Richard Haldane as War Secretary, and General Sir Henry Wilson as Director of Military Operations. With his team in place, Milner painstakingly prepared Britain for war.
Lord Milner inherited his secret society from its founder, Cecil Rhodes, and he dedicated himself to implementing Rhodes’ dream of a world state based on the British Empire. He started the South African War, demonstrating he had the ruthlessness to start a war and the determination to finish what he had started. After his first war, Lord Milner set his sights on a Great War to eliminate European opposition to the hegemony of his Anglo-American Banking cartel. Victory in his second war allowed him usher in the New World Order, an alliance of elites that since 1919 has accumulated immense power and has exercised unprecedented influence in world affairs. This is the story of how the New World Order began.
INTRODUCTION
The Rhodes-Milner secret society (The Milner Group), based in England, colluded with President Poincare of France and Ambassador lzvolsky of Russia to foment the seminal event of the twentieth century—the 1914-18 First World War. lzvolsky destroyed Czarist Russia; Poincare led a million-and-a-half of his countrymen to their graves; but victory for the Milner Group left this secret organization of imperialists and financiers wielding enormous influence in world affairs. The primary source on the Rhodes-Milner secret society is Carroll Quigley, a Georgetown professor. He wrote two books, Tragedy And Hope and The Anglo-American Establishment, in which he revealed the existence of this secret society, and partially revealed what they do and the enormous influence they wield. In the former he says:
There does exist, and has existed for a generation, an international Anglophile network . . . I know of the operations of this network because I have studied it for twenty years and was permitted for two years, in the early 1960s, to examine its papers and secret records. I have no aversion to it or to most of its instruments. I have objected, both in the past and recently, to a few of its policies . . . but in general my chief difference of opinion is that it wishes to remain unknown, and I believe its role in history is significant enough to be known.’
In his later work, The Anglo-American Establishment, Quigley examines the “Anglo” side of the organization and he makes the following claims about the Rhodes-Milner secret society:
For these men were organizing a secret society (in 1891) that was, for more than fifty years, to be one of the most important forces in the formulation and execution of British imperial and foreign policy?
The power and influence of this Rhodes-Milner group in British imperial affairs and in foreign policy since 1889, although not widely recognized, can hardly be exaggerated.
Any effort to write an account of the influence exercised by the Milner Group in foreign affairs in the period between the two World Wars would require a complete rewriting of the history of that period.
Quigley claims he read the secret documents of this organization. His claim leaves no wriggle room: either we dismiss him as a crank or we test his claim against the historical record. I have written a monograph to test Quigley’s assertions that a powerful secret society exercises enormous political and financial influence in the western world by examining the role the Rhodes-Milner Group played in bringing about the Great War. I concentrate on the Great War because it is both the defining event of the Twentieth Century and also immensely rich in documentary evidence. My monograph uses Quigley’s revelations, hints, and subtle signposts to outline how the Rhodes-Milner secret society, under the stewardship of Lord Milner, fostered the Great War.

Hidden History | The Secret Origins of the First World War

Dedicated to the victims of an unspeakable evil.
Hidden History uniquely exposes those responsible for World War I.
Hidden History | The Secret Origins of the First World War By Gerry Docherty and Jim Macgregor
It reveals how accounts of the war’s origins have been deliberately falsified to conceal the guilt of the secret cabal of very rich and powerful men in London responsible for the most heinous crime perpetrated on humanity. For 10 years, they plotted the destruction of Germany as the first stage of their plan to take control of the world. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand was no chance happening. It lit a fuse that had been carefully set through a chain of command stretching from Sarajevo through Belgrade and St. Petersburg to that cabal in London. Our understanding of these events has been firmly trapped in a web of falsehood and duplicity carefully constructed by the victors at Versailles in 1919 and maintained by compliant historians ever since. The official version is fatally flawed, warped by the volume of evidence they destroyed or concealed from public view. Hidden History poses a tantalizing challenge. The authors ask only that you examine the evidence they lay before you.

FIRST AND FOREMOST WE OWE a debt to those writers and historians who, in the aftermath of the First World War, began to question what had happened and how it had come about. Their determination to challenge official accounts was largely dismissed by the Establishment, but they left a clear trail of credible evidence that has helped guide us through the morass of half-truths and lies that are still presented as historical fact. Without their cumulative effort, together with the profoundly important revelations of Professor Carroll Quigley, it would have been impossible for us to unpick the web of deceit woven around the origins of the war.
Special thanks are due to those who have encouraged our research over the years, made valuable suggestions and helped find sources to our enormous benefit. Will Podmore read our early chapters and offered sound advice. Guenter Jaschke has given us invaluable help in many ways, not least in providing and translating Austro-Hungarian and German political and military documents into English. Tom Cahill, American photojournalist and vibrant activist in the US Veterans against War movement, provided ongoing support, as did the American-Irish writer and political analyst Richard K. Moore. Other valued assistance came from Barbara Gunn in Ireland, Dr John O’Dowd in Glasgow and Brian Ovens, more locally.
We have to thank the ever-helpful librarians and researchers at the Scottish National Library in Edinburgh, both in the general reading rooms and the special documents section. We are grateful to the staff at the National Archives in Kew and the Bodleian Library, Oxford, especially in the special collections department, for their patience with us. Apologies are most certainly due to those we buttonholed and quizzed about missing documents, correspondence and papers at Oxford and Kew Gardens. As we were so correctly reminded, librarians and archivists can only provide access to the material that was passed into the library’s safekeeping by the Foreign or Cabinet Offices. What was removed, withdrawn, culled or otherwise destroyed, was effected many years ago by those empowered to do so.
The good advice of our literary agent, David Fletcher, and the enthusiasm of our superb editor, Ailsa Bathgate, is genuinely appreciated, though we may not have said so at the time. Thanks too are due to the other members of the wonderful team at Mainstream, including Graeme Blaikie for guiding us through the photographic content with consummate patience. Above all we thank Bill Campbell, who displayed great enthusiasm for the project.
Finally, tremendous gratitude is due to Maureen, Joan and our families, who have patiently supported us through the long years of research and writing. While we have often not been there for them, they have always been there for us.
Quigley: There does exist, and has existed for a generation, an international Anglophile network which operates to some extent, in the way the radical right believes the Communists act. In fact, this network, which we may identify as the Round Table Groups, has no aversion to cooperating with the Communists, or any other groups, and frequently does so. I know of the operations of this network because I have studied it for twenty years and was permitted for two years, in the early 1960’s to examine its papers and secret records.

Hidden History of WW1
A transcript of the Lew Rockwell Show with John V. Denson. August 24, 2018
A Texas tale in my county, and not too far from where I use to live. Sorry two people had to die, but this should be part of the risk-calculation when you attempt to rob a gun-toting Texan. In Texas, you just never know who is packing a firearm. Not an easy prey unless you are in a GUN FREE ZONE, where most of our children are warehoused during the week.
Montgomery County Police Reporter (November 18 2018): Late Saturday afternoon two black males attempted to rob four persons in an apartment at the Landmark at Spring Cypress in the 3200 block of Spring Cypress. One of the victims was armed and shot both suspects. One died in the stairwell as he tried to flee the other died at Memorial Hermann in The Woodlands. Harris County Sheriff’s Office is investigating.
Jamal Khashoggi (Saudi Arabia 2011) – Washington Post journalist
Is Jamal Khashoggi dead?
Almost certainly. Did Mohammad bin Salman (MbS) order his murder? Likely, in my opinion.
However, there is much more to this simple story. It should be curious to most Americans why the MSM are more concerned about the murder of Khashoggi (a non-American) than the Benghazi murder of Americans: US Ambassador Christopher Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods.
So what’s the ‘Official’ story promulgated by the ‘Deep State’ (MSM propaganda organ)? The Narrative, as I can understand it: Trump’s new found pal, MbS (Mohammad bin Salman, crown prince of Saudi Arabia) ordered the brutal murder of an innocent Washington Post journalist. Knowing this, evil Trump went ahead with a $110 billion Saudi arms deal which he should have canceled to punish MbS.
The goal here seems to be to embarrass Trump publicly; force him to abandon his newly formed ally (MbS) in an effort turn back on the Al-Waleed bin Talal money-spigot MbS had shut off.
Some additional data points:
Khashoggi wasn’t your average journalist; he had deep ties to powerful arms dealers including his billionaire uncle Adnan Khashoggi. Not trying to ascribe guilt by association here, but most journalists would not have this kind of deep inside access to major arms dealers and the House of Saud. For example: Khashoggi’s Grandfather Was a Royal Physician to King Abdulaziz of Saudi Arabia.
Khashoggi was a longtime acquaintance / friend of Osama bin Laden and interviewed him several times in Tora Bora and Sudan. This reeks of a CIA connection.
Khashoggi had deep ties with Saudi intelligence; ergo the CIA, ergo the Washington Post, and other MSM propaganda spigots.
Khashoggi’s cousin, Dodi Al Fayed, was dating Princess Diana when they both were killed in a car crash in Paris. The rabbit hole goes very deep here.
The “CIA reportedly concludes Saudi crown prince ordered assassination of Washington Post contributor Jamal Khashoggi” – the CIA rarely reports out their conclusions, especially in front of the US President. The only reason for this is to undermine Trump and his support of MbS.
Trump supported MbS’s regime change in Saudi Arabia, which removed Clinton / Obama / DNC money man Al-Waleed bin Talal and therefore the flow of funds to Clinton and other deep state operatives. There is also a nexus here with the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting event.
While the money was flowing from Al-Waleed bin Talal, CIA Director, John Brennan did not want the 28 pages of the 9/11 report released; however, after MbS hung Al-Waleed bin Talal by his toes removing his money and power, John Brennan did an about face stating we need to hold the Saudis accountable.
Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal is Citigroup’s largest individual shareholder.
According to George Papadopoulos…“Joseph Mifsud is tied directly to Christopher Steele and Alexander Downer’s former chief of staff. He was also on Jamal Khashoogi’s payroll.”
There is a much larger chess game going on here. If you step back a bit, you can see this is just one more battle between the old guard and the new guard.
The Old Silk Road (114 BC – 1450s AD) was an ancient network of trade routes that connected the East and West: From China, India, Persia (Iran), Arabia, Somalia, Egypt to Europe.
The Old Silk Road – Connecting China to Europe
China’s New Silk Road
Today, China is planning to re-hydrate these ancient trading routes with a new modern Silk Road having already spent more than the US spent on WWII’s Marshall plan; with another $1.3 trillion waiting to build railways, roads, ports, and power grids over the next 10 years.
China’s new Silk Road – the Belt and Road Initiative
“Who rules the World Island commands the world”
The new Silk Road is now called the “Belt and Road” initiative, and is under active construction. With all this excitement and activity, one can’t help but think of Helford Mackinder’s (1861 – 1947) Heartland Theory of the World Island and his prescient words:
“Who rules Eastern Europe commands the Heartland Who rules the Heartland commands the World Island Who rules the World Island commands the world”
Helford Mackinder – Heartland Theory of the World Island
The Rimland is not enough
During the pinnacle of the British Empire’s power, Briton found it too costly –and the logistics technologically impractical– to go inland to conquer the ‘Heartland’ of the ‘World Island’; so the Empire chose to control the seas and impose its will inward from the Rimland. Once the greatest sea power the world had ever known, the Empire –weakened by The Great Wars– encouraged its former colony (America) to fill the vacuum. Still, the Heartland of the World Island –and the power it could unleash– was mostly ignored or forgotten by many –until recently. Though Mackinder’s Heartland theory is outdated, it’s basic premise is still valid and it seems clear China believes it can command the world by commanding the World Island.
NOTE: The “heartland” was also referred to as the “pivot area” and as the core of Eurasia. Mackinder considered all of Europe and Asia as the World Island.
It has been reported Alex Jones was banned from all the major social media platforms within a 12 hour period. If true, this shows a potentially illegal collusion –dare I say conspiracy– between the big monopoly platforms to punish or mute Alex’s message. While I do not watch or listen to Alex, I have huge respect for this media icon that brought alternative views of history and current events to his audience for over 20 years to great effect. Alex blazed a new trail and motivated some of our best and brightest writers, commentators and podcasters to become involved in the ‘Great Conversation’ to all our benefit. Without Alex, many important voices would have been silenced into obscurity by the established, controlled media. Alex is a great American Icon and hero in my book.
This modern-day book burning is not all bad
The enemies of free thought, free speech and freedom of expression have completely revealed themselves for all to see today. There can be no doubt in any rational mind who these enemies are: Facebook, YouTube (Google), Apple and others.
This free publicity will drive more people to check out Alex Jones
This could setup a great lawsuit for some interesting discovery in this apparent illegal collusion between these behemoths to shut down free speech and to single out Alex Jones for punishment without cause.
Maybe through legal discovery we would finally know what these A-Holes mean by their catch-all phrase ‘community standards’. Not.
This could motivate Alex and others to band together with Mike Adams of Natural News REAL.Video to build out a robust alternative to YouTube.
I’ve always admired Alex Jones
He has –or had at one time– almost a photographic memory
He has read Quigley – rare in the Alt Media and always a bonus in my book
Busted into the Bohemian Grove and took a video
Is not afraid to confront some of the really bad actors on the world stage
Used a bullhorn at many of the Bilderberg meetings – what fun!
Was an early adopter of the continuous rebroadcast of his radio show on smart devices
Was an early adopter of simultaneous TV/Radio-cast
Is passionate about his work
Tries to be accurate in his reporting and is usually successful
Has a sense of historical context of current events – though I don’t always agree
He has some great guests on his program – sometimes
Three reasons I cannot stand to watch Alex Jones
He constantly interrupts his guests not allowing them to finish their thoughts or sentences;
Too many commercials! Infowars has become an infomercial; and
His pet announcer Owen Shroyer gets way too much air time and is a boring lightweight when it comes to understanding historical context or providing anything higher than a retail-level analysis. I guess he is just a kid and I’m being too harsh. I do wish Alex would sit Owen down and make him read a few books so he would know what he is talking about. I do like David Knight, and of course Paul Joseph Watson.
