World War II – A Necessary Re-Evaluation

by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | June 04, 2017

Truth Fears No Questions

With the aid of the internet and the great research provided by Quigley, Sutton and Perloff, the real history of WWII can now be told, and it does make a difference.

Feb 13, 1945: Firebombing of Dresden

Over the years, I’ve been asked for my take on World War II many times. I’ve mostly avoided this topic only giving hints at my perspective (warning that it’s not what it appears) until I had time to properly sequence the events in light of the new information I had learned from reading the well-researched and documented writings of Quigley, Sutton and Perloff.   So in lieu of my reasoned opinion based on the more recent and accurate context provided by the three gentlemen above, I offer up two interviews and discussions between Tim Kelly and James Perloff and Tim Kelly and Joe Atwill (below).  To supplement this, consider reading the following relatively short books:

The Anglo-American Establishment by Carroll Quigley

And Antony C. Sutton’s trilogy:

  1. Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution: The Remarkable True Story of the American Capitalists Who Financed the Russian Communists.
  2. Wall Street and FDR
  3. Wall Street & the Rise of Hitler
  4. And watching James’ excellent lecture (found on YouTube) entitled ‘The Shadows of Power; the CFR and decline of America

You can also find James Perloff’s book on this same topic entitled ‘The Shadows of Power: The Council on Foreign Relations and the American Decline

To round-out your understanding of World War II, it is highly desirable –once you have read the above—to read Hitler’s ‘Mein Kampf‘ to get a complete view of the context. You will discover what you have been told by the American education system and the corporate media is a total and complete fabrication. The only way to defeat our masters is to defeat the mythology they have placed in our heads.

12/22/21: Update.. Since so many of the videos below have been deleted, I’m posting this recent interview here:  Timothy Kelly podcast episode: “E. Michael Jones on the Holocaust Narrative

EPISODE DESCRIPTION: Dr. E. Michael Jones returns to Our Interesting Time to discuss his article in this December’s Culture Wars “Dachau for Dummies: A Review of The Defeated.” We also talk about last month’s election in Virginia and how the oligarchs’ attempt to impose centralized technocratic control is revitalizing States’ Rights and undermining the legitimacy of the American Empire. 

Dr. Jones is the editor of Culture Wars magazine and the author of several books including Logos Rising: A History of Ultimate Reality and the recently released second edition of The Jewish Revolutionary Spirit and Its Impact on World History.

Tim Kelly interviews Germar Rudolf on the Holocaust (Published on Feb 25, 2017)
Germar Rudolf joins the show to discuss his research regarding the Holocaust and share his experience as a revisionist researcher, writer and lecturer

Germar Rudolf joins the show to discuss his research regarding the Holocaust and share his experience as a revisionist researcher, writer and lecturer on that topic. We discuss what Holocaust revisionism is and what it is not and we talk about some of the evidence that indicates the official narrative of the Holocaust is a gross distortion of history. Later we talk about the migrant crisis in Europe and demographic winter that is enveloping the entire industrialized world. Germar Rudolf was born in Limburg, Germany. He studied chemistry at Bonn University, where he graduated in 1989. From 1990-1993 he prepared a German PhD thesis at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in conjunction with the University of Stuttgart, Germany. During this time Rudolf prepared an expert report on chemical and technical questions of the alleged gas chambers of Auschwitz, The Rudolf Report. He is the founder of the small revisionist outlet, Castle Hill Publishers. He has published several books including Dissecting the Holocaust, Lectures on the Holocaust and Resistance is Obligatory.

PROBING THE HOLOCAUST: THE HORROR EXPLAINED (1:36:40)

Who’s the Boss, pt. 2

by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | May 01, 2017

Who’s the boss? (pt. 2)

Bilderberg, Trilateral, Davos… Oh my!

These are the technocrats: the Bilderbergers, the Trilateralists and the Davos groupies. This small group of men are the well-paid techno-servants of the ruling elite; constructing a superstructure of control, aided by the great advancements in all the sciences, including the well-honed science of today’s mass psychology Bertrand Russell could only dream of.   These new technical facilities provide man’s natural predators unprecedented control that threatens to remove man’s freewill forever.  But these technocrats are not the final boss. If we follow the Quigley Formula –after the Milner Group effectively disappeared– there are rings within rings yet to be discovered. The big question is who is in the inner circle of what Quigley called the Milner Group? Obviously Kissinger is a made-man, but a Boss? I think not. The Rothschild family and Rockefellers are candidates but that is too easy.  And though everyone believes they know who occupies the inner circle; and there is always much debate on this point; it is a fact, there is much we do not know about the inner workings of the innermost ring. I suspect after the failure of the Milner Group, there is new, fresh blood afoot yet to be identified … and it has nothing to do with the Illuminati, Freemasons, Jews or any other popular scapegoat.

Though our current batch –and those before them– have stolen ideas from these other groups, today’s predators are likely not a believing member of any group but their own.  We know only what they let us know, and that which seeps through the cracks is mitigated though false histories and mass psychology.  We can, however, see them by the wake they leave as they rush to stamp their boot on man’s face — forever.   According to David Rothkopf in his book on the Superclass there are approximately 6,000 of these technocrats worldwide who –in my opinion–would be in Milner’s kindergarten, not sitting next to Milner or his cohorts directing the show.

Tragedy and Hope 101: Got Quigley?

by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | June 11, 2016

Get your know on… There are two kinds of people in this world; those who know Quigley and those who don’t and it is very easy to tell the difference.

Hopefully this short / simple video will get more people interested in Quigley’s excellent work.
Tragedy and Hope 101: Got Quigley?

Published on May 30, 2016
Tragedy and Hope 101 provides readers an introduction to the groundbreaking research of Carroll Quigley. Professor Quigley not only spent decades researching and writing about those who secretly control the machinery of our “representative governments,” he was permitted to examine their secret papers. He was invited in, but he ultimately betrayed their trust when he exposed their plans and their methods.

Joe Plummer Interview

CLEARNFO.com | April 12, 2016

Joe Plummer

Joe Plummer

I will be conducting an interview and discussion with the outstanding author and researcher, Mr. Joe Plummer, over the next few weeks.  If you have any questions for Mr. Plummer or would like to suggest topics you would like to see discussed, please let me know. Mr. Plummer does deep historical research and has written several fascinating and well-researched books on Quigley’s ‘Tragedy and Hope’, ‘Dirty Money’ and a chilling novel on one man’s journey ‘Leaving the Illusion’. Mr. Plummer has appeared on Alex Jones’ InfoWARS, Richard Grove’s Tragedy and Hope, James Corbett’s The Corbett Report, John B. Wells’ Caravan To Midnight and others. His ‘Tragedy and Hope 101’ includes the following introduction by G. Edward Griffin…

Introduction
by G. Edward Griffin

If you have ever watched an illusionist perform up-close magic, you know the power of misdirection and sleight-of-hand. Even in a room full of suspicious and attentive observers, the illusionist can fool them all. By exploiting known weaknesses in the human mind and employing his tools of the trade, he will deceive the crowd whether it wants to be deceived or not.

Imagine what an equally talented “network” of political illusionists can accomplish. Performing before an audience of mostly trusting and casual observers, exploiting known weaknesses in the human mind, and employing their tools of the trade, they, too, will deceive the crowd whether it wants to be deceived or not.

Having spent nearly sixty years of my life researching and writing about the illusionists who control our world, I can say without reservation that you are about to learn some of their closest-held secrets. Joe has done an outstanding job of weeding through Carroll Quigley’s book, Tragedy & Hope. He has captured the essence of what Quigley referred to as “the Network” and made this important information accessible to the average person who simply doesn’t have time to read a 1,300-page history book. Even for those who intend to read the entire volume, Joe has created an introduction and study guide that will serve the serious student well.

Knowledge of who Carroll Quigley was and the deceptions that he revealed is essential for understanding the real world of today. His close relationship with the Network and his approval of its aims made it possible to provide an insider’s analysis of the minds and methods of the global elite. Without this knowledge, the actions of those who dominate the U.S. government and the Western world do not make sense. With it, everything falls into place.

Be forewarned. The journey you are about to begin is not for the faint hearted. If you are comfortable with the illusions that currently pass for political reality, this book is not for you because, once you discover how the deceivers perform their magic, the comfort of ignorance is no longer possible. Once the bell is rung, it cannot be unrung.

The bell starts ringing on the next page.

A Real Education

by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | Jan 03, 2016

A Real Education

A Real Education

To counteract some of the damage done by our public education system, I have given my 17 year old son, Jack, some reading material that should help get his head on straight, while providing him the ability to see through so much of the frankly false history promulgated by our schools, universities and media (The reading list is at the bottom).

I once believed the story of American history as related in the boring history classes I was forced to sit through in school, but as an adult I learned a painful lesson: that this history did not match the documented facts as we now know them today; and worse, much of the most important events have been completely omitted altogether. We know this, not just by going to original source documents, but by reading the minutes of Tax-Free foundations like the Carnage Foundation. We discover through Carnage that this was no mistake or oversight but a well-planned conspiracy that included Rockefeller, Guggenheim and others who sought to re-write the historical record in their own image to accomplish clandestine goals using the American Historical Association our Universities and others who could be controlled through grants.

Beyond just re-writing our history, our school systems have systematically imposed a compulsory education system for all, which replaced the idea of ‘authority based on truth’ with ‘truth based on authority’. This educational lobotomy was accomplished by replacing the Trivium method with the Prussian education system. The Prussian system removed the Trivium techniques of critical thought (grammar, logic and rhetoric) and replaced these with truth by authority. Additionally, data was memorized out of context by rote to confuse the young mind. This was no accident, but planned social engineering by the elite.

The reading list below may sound ominous for a 17 year old, but he has read all the Harry Potter books including ‘Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire’ which is over 700 pages long, so this should be a walk in the park. A few years ago I was surprised that he took it upon himself to read the entire Bible from cover to cover without any encouragement from me; and now he says he is excited to read these books also.

Please take time to listen to this outstanding speech by renowned Federal Reserve expert G. Edward Griffin, author of The Creature from Jekyll Island.  There are some sound drop-out issues at the beginning of this video; and the video and sound are out of sync throughout, but the information contained herein is critical to any understanding of who controls the real power centers in the United States and around the world. G. Edward Griffin does an excellent job summarizing Quigley’s 1,300 page Tragedy and Hope volume and quotes from Quigley’s equally important The Anglo-American EstablishmentI’ve listened to many Griffin speeches, but this one does the best job summarizing Quigley’s substantial contribution to our understanding of history and then bringing this critical information into current time.  You will not be disappointed. 

Note: Due to the sync problems of this video, I listened but could not watch.

This Sea of Ignorance

by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | September 10, 2015

David Brown

David Brown

Sometimes it is a bit frustrating to debate people who have not taken the time to read Quigley’s  ‘Anglo-American Establishment’  or the many historical accounts of Antony C Sutton; but I must take the world as I find it.  Most of these people are smart and well-intentioned but lack key information.      Faced with similar frustrations, Joe Plummer would give away Quigley’s books in the hope someone would read them, only to find out the challenge was too great.   Rather than give up, however, Joe decided to write his own slimmed-down, easier to understand and updated book on Quigley called appropriately Tragedy and Hope 101.    In this sea of ignorance, how can we have an intelligent or sane conversation without 1) key information on the real players; 2) fundamental knowledge of methods and procedures and 3) the proven historical backdrop provided by Quigley and other researchers?   That is the question.   Without the historical context and an understanding of the genealogy and pedigree of the current batch of oligarchs, how can we advance our mutual understanding and how can we engage in an effective contest for our freedom as the collective noose is tightened around our collective necks?

We are encouraged by the rapid spread of information through the internet; and we are encouraged to understand, historically, the information wars can be won by as few as 5% of the populations.    I am also encouraged by the many people who have not read Quigley, yet by the sheer force of their own intellectual skills and keen observations, can impute without the direct information provided by Quigley.   Without Quigley, they point to inconsistencies in the official historical record and the official stories of finance, geopolitics and social engineering that deserve a complete accounting and then demand an explanation.   The interview below with Paul Craig Roberts is a very good example of the brilliant intellect of PCR who struggles without the benefit of Quigley.

Paul Craig Roberts Interviewed by John B. Wells, Caravan To Midnight

Another good example of brilliance overcoming ignorance without the benefit of Quigley can be seen in the excellent interview of NSA Whistleblower William Binney by Richard Grove here.
Obviously, Mr. Grove is well versed in Quigley, but the question must be asked:  How much more effective would Binney or PCR be if they had the benefit of Quigley’s and Sutton’s documented evidence?

I’ve often said …

“There are two kinds of people: Those who have read Quigley and those who have not; and it is very easy to tell the difference.” 

I didn’t say this to be offensive or elitist or to prove I’m smarter than anyone else. I said it simply because it is true. Once the truth of what Quigley said hits you, you can never go home again, you can never see the world the same way again. Your innocence is lost.   Your naive belief in the goodness of so many institutions is forever shattered by documented fact. You see with clear eyes and so you are more difficult to fool by those who build the walled-gardens of propaganda where most of your fellows live out their intellectual lives; never questioning the construction of these walls, built of ‘well-established’ assumptions which are in fact lies.

But even with the revelations provided by Quigley, Sutton and others, the picture is never complete and of course changes over time.   The old guards die, providing room for the new oligarchs and their attendant power structures; but these changes are mostly traceable and predictable. The footprints of the past are seen everywhere in the present. Today, we have a new generation of brave, brilliant investigators and heroes who have continued –sometimes at great personal sacrifice– to peel back the curtain so that we can observe those who seek to enslave the rest of us for their own selfish purposes. See the Julian Assange interview below.

Assange on ‘US Empire,’ Assad govt overthrow plans & new book ‘The WikiLeaks Files’ (EXCLUSIVE)

He has just co-authored a book – the WikiLeaks Files, and it paints a picture of systemic US torture and killing as well as the destruction of the lives and livelihoods of billions of people right around the world.

There are many examples of our Superstars who have read and understand Quigley and Sutton:

12 Dictators, Tyrants And Terrorist Groups Aided By The US Federal Government

StopTheLie.com News update (07-27-2015)

Joe Plummer

Joe Plummer

Throughout the history of United States Foreign policy the U.S. Government has often justified or called for the invasion of another country by claiming the need to remove a dictator who was committing human rights abuses against his own people.

But what is not commonly known is that throughout that same history the U.S. Government also gave military and financial support to numerous tyrants and terrorists with the full knowledge and awareness that these groups were committing human rights abuses against their own people.

This is something the mainstream media in America will never talk about.

And while the media and the U.S. Government tells us that “terrorists hate us for our freedoms”, perhaps it’s much closer to the truth to say they hate us for propping up dictators around the world, who kill, torture, steal from and unjustly imprison their citizens.

Here is a partial list of some of the worst tyrants and dictators your tax dollars have aided and abetted over the years… Read full article at: 12 Dictators, Tyrants And Terrorist Groups Aided By The US Federal Government

COMMENT: “Again, as Quigley points out, the “power structure” that he exposed isn’t loyal to Communism, or Socialism, or Fascism, or capitalism. The Network is happy to exploit the rhetoric of any movement or ideology, prop up any dictator or tyrant, and support any economic or political model, provided it serves their one overarching aim. That aim, to bring “all the habitable portions of the world under their control,” is as old as the lust for power itself. The death and suffering that their policies have already caused in pursuit of this aim are incalculable. Allowing them to continue as they have will only bring more of the same.

Tragedy & Hope 101 by Joe Plummer

Tragedy & Hope 101 by Joe Plummer

–If there is one goal for this book, it is to expose the attitude and inherent nature of those who seek to dominate others. Don’t worry about remembering all of the dates and names that have been listed. Don’t worry about trying to recall all of the specific events. (All of that information will always be here if you need to find it again.) Instead, make it a point to simply verify the following: there is no lie that these men will not tell. There is no crime that they will not commit. The only measure of “right” and “wrong,” in their view, is whether their tactics succeed or fail. This might sound like hyperbole now, but by the end of this short book you will understand the truth of this assertion. (The Network’s game is won by those who calculate properly, and moral considerations only impede accurate calculation.)” —Tragedy and Hope 101
