Infographic: Media Consolidation – The Illusion of Choice

How much choice does the mainstream US media really offer? An infographic laying out the extent of media consolidation in the US, where just six media giants control 90% of all TV, news, radio and film.


Conspiracy Times

Tuesday, 06 March 2007 BY Joe Crubaugh
From Nero to 9/11, via Pearl Harbour and the Gulf of Tonkin incident... Joe Crubaugh provides an "all time greatest hits" of false flag operations, whereby one scenario is repeated... as the world keeps falling for the same lie.

The most commonly known false flag operations consist of a government agency staging a terror attack, whereby an uninvolved entity gets blamed for the carnage. As at least two millennia have proven, false flag operations, with healthy doses of propaganda and ignorance, provided a great recipe for endless war.
In "War is a Racket", Two-time Medal of Honor recipient Major General Smedley Butler wrote: "I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested."
You may not have heard of these operations, but perhaps you have heard of these?

1. Nero, Christians, and the Great Fire of Rome
Rome, the night of July 19, 64 AD. The Great Fire burst through the rooftops of shops near the mass entertainment and chariot racing venue called Circus Maximus. The flames, whipped by a strong wind, rapidly engulfed densely populated areas of the city. After burning uncontrolled for five days, four of the 14 Roman districts were burned to the ground, and seven more were severely damaged.
It was no secret that Nero wanted to build a series of palaces which he planned to name "Neropolis". But, the planned location was in the city and in order to build Neropolis, a third of Rome would have to be torn down. The Senate rejected the idea. Then, coincidentally, the fire cleared the very real estate Neropolis required.

Despite the obvious benefit, there's still a good probability that Nero did not start the fire. Up to a hundred small fires regularly broke out in Rome each day. On top of that, the fire destroyed Nero's own palace and it appears that Nero did everything he could to stop the fire. Accounts of the day say that when Nero heard about the fire, he rushed back from Antium to organize a relief effort, using his own money. He opened his palaces to let in the homeless and had food supplies delivered to the survivors.
Nero also devised a new urban development plan that would make Rome less vulnerable to fire. But, although he put in place rules to insure a safer reconstruction, he also gave himself a huge tract of city property with the intention of building his new palace there.
People knew of Nero's plans for Neropolis, and all his efforts to help the city could not counteract the rampant rumours that he'd help start the fire. As his poll numbers dropped, Nero's administration realised the need to employ False Flag 101: When something - anything - bad happens to you, even if it's accidental, point the finger at your enemy.
Luckily, there was a new cult of religious nuts at hand. The cult was unpopular because its followers refused to worship the emperor, denounced possessions, held secret meetings and they were always talking about the destruction of Rome and the end of the world. Even more luckily for Nero, two of the cult's biggest leaders, Peter and Paul, were currently in town. Nero spread word that the Christians had started the Great Fire. The citizens of Rome bought his lie hook, line and sinker. Peter was crucified and Paul beheaded. Hundreds of others in the young cult were fed to the lions or smeared with tar and set on fire to become human street lamps.
2. Remember the Maine, to Hell with Spain
The Spanish Empire was the first truly global empire, reaching its territorial height in the late 1700s. By 1898, Spain was losing territories regularly. Cuba too was becoming increasingly hard to control and a minor revolution had broken out. This wasn't welcome news to people in the United States who owned Cuban sugar, tobacco and iron industry properties valued at over $50 million (worth ca. $1.2 billion today).
The main stream media, then dominated by newspaper magnates Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst, exaggerated - and outright fabricated - stories of horrible conditions under Spanish rule. Following the age-old maxim, "If it bleeds, it leads", the newspapers published stories about Spanish death camps, Spanish cannibalism and inhumane torture. The newspapers sent reporters to Cuba. However, when they got there, they found a different story. Artist and correspondent Frederick Remington wrote back to Hearst: "There is no war. Request to be recalled." Hearst's famous reply: "Please remain. You furnish the pictures, I'll furnish the war." And he did. His newspaper, continually screaming how Spanish Cuba was going to hell in a hand basket, convinced big business interests in the US to put pressure on anti-war President William McKinley to protect their Cuban investments. McKinley, in response, sent the USS Maine battleship to Havana Harbour as a calming show of force.  

Three weeks after arriving, on the night of February 15, 1898, the USS Maine exploded, killing 266 men. There are two theories for the explosion: some believe the explosion was caused by an external mine that detonated the ship's ammunition magazines. Others say it was caused by a spontaneous coal bunker fire that reached the ammunition magazines. Currently, the evidence seems to favour the external mine theory.
Without waiting on an investigation, America's mainstream media blamed the tragedy on Spain and beat the drums for war. By April, McKinley yielded to public pressure and signed a congressional resolution declaring war on Spain. To help pay for the Spanish-American War, congress enacted a "temporary" tax of 3 percent on long-distance telephone bills. This was essentially a tax on the rich, as only about 1,300 Americans owned phones in 1898. Although the Spanish-American War ended in 1898, the temporary tax was only abolished in... 2005. Over its lifetime, the 107-year-old tax generated almost $94 billion - more than 230 times the cost of the Spanish-American War.

The Spanish-American War put a large nail in the coffin of Spain's global empire. And by the end of 1898, the United States, which was founded in opposition to imperialism, found itself in control not only of Cuba, but of the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Hawaiian Islands as well.
3. The Manchurian Incident
The economic slump following 1929's thorough and convincing near-obliteration of Wall Street hit Japan especially hard: exports fell, unemployment rose. Japan, not being rich in natural resources, needed oil and coal to make power to run machines to produce goods to sell to other countries to make money to buy food to have enough energy. Manchuria, a province of China, had its fair share of oil and coal.
After Japan decided it needed to invade Manchuria, they needed a pretext to justify the invasion. They chose to create a false flag attack on a railway close to Liutiao Lake... a big flat area that had no military value to either the Japanese or the Chinese. The main reason the spot was chosen was for its proximity (about 800 meters distant) to Chinese troops stationed at Beidaying. The Japanese press labelled the no-name site of the blast Liutiaogou, which was Japanese for "Liutiao Bridge." There was no bridge there, but the name helped convince some that the sabotage was a strategic Chinese attack.
Colonel Itagaki Seishiro and Lieutenant Colonel Kanji Ishiwara ordered officers of the Shimamoto Regiment to place a bomb beneath the tracks. The original bomb failed to detonate and a replacement had to be found. Then, at 10.20pm, September 18, 1931, the tracks were blown. Surprisingly, the explosion was minor. Only one side of the rail was damaged, and the damage was so light that a train headed for Shenyang passed by only a few minutes later. But it was a good enough excuse to invade... 

The Japanese immediately charged the Chinese soldiers with the destruction, then invaded Manchuria. A puppet government known as Manchukuo was installed. The League of Nations investigated and in a 1932 report denied that the invasion was an act of defence, as Japan had advertised. But rather than vacate Manchuria, Japan decided to vacate the League of Nations, the precursor to the United Nations.
4. Secrets of the Reichstag Fire
In 1933, just a week before general elections that might place enough Nazis in office to make Hitler defacto dictator, the Reichstag, which housed the parliament of the German Empire, was set on fire. Adolf Hitler assured everyone that communist terrorists started the fire. Hitler's party member Hermann Göring stated that he had secret evidence that would soon be made public; evidence that proved communists did it. These proclamations came on top of weeks of Nazi-organized street violence designed to whip the public into a pathological fear of communists.
The next day, the Nazis convinced a senile President von Hindenburg to sign the Reichstag Decree. The decree, using defence against terrorism as an excuse, suspended just about every major civil liberty set forth in the Weimar Constitution: habeus corpus (the right to know why you're being put in jail)? Gone. Freedom of opinion? Gone. Freedom of the press? Not any more. Freedom to organise and assemble? Deported. The Reichstag decree even allowed the government to spy on its own citizens' personal mail and telephone conversations without a warrant... something most Americans today could hardly begin to fathom... a precursor to President George W. Bush secret order in 2002 ordering the National Security Agency to do just exactly the same thing.
So what about the fire? The only thing historians seem to agree on is that Marinus van der Lubbe, a former Dutch Communist and mentally disturbed arsonist hungry for fame, was found inside the building. Despite the Nazi attempt to blame the fire on a group of communists, the communists were later acquitted by the Nazi government itself. After years of extensive investigation, most historians believe the Hitlerites themselves set fire to the Reichstag using van der Lubbe as their patsy: they knew a nut was going to try to burn down the building and not only did they let him do it, but they may have befriended him, encouraged him and even helped the blaze spread by scattering gasoline and incendiaries.
Most Germans, feeling safe from terrorism again, didn't mind that their freedom and liberty had been stolen, or that so much of their life and work had become so strictly controlled. On the contrary, they felt very enthusiastic and patriotic about the new government because they ignorantly believed the new government cared about them. And as long as the average citizen worked hard, kept his mouth shut and let his kids take part in the Hitler Youth organization, he stayed out of the detention camps. 

5. The Fake Invasion at Gleiwitz
In the late evening of Thursday, August 31, 1939, German covert operatives pretending to be Polish terrorists seized the Gleiwitz radio station in the German/Poland border region of Silesia. The station's music program came to an abrupt halt, followed by frantic German voices announcing that Polish formations were marching toward town. Germany was being invaded by Poland! Then, like a bad imitation of the previous year's infamous War of the Worlds broadcast, the transmission went dead for a moment of dramatic silence. Soon, the airwaves popped and crackled to life again, and this time Polish voices called for all Poles in the broadcast area to take up arms and attack Germany.
In no time, radio stations across greater Europe picked up the story. The BBC broadcast this statement: "There have been reports of an attack on a radio station in Gleiwitz, which is just across the Polish border in Silesia. The German News Agency reports that the attack came at about 8.00pm this evening when the Poles forced their way into the studio and began broadcasting a statement in Polish. Within quarter of an hour, says reports, the Poles were overpowered by German police, who opened fire on them. Several of the Poles were reported killed, but the numbers are not yet known." And thus, Hitler invented an excuse to invade Poland, which he did the next day: September 1, 1939. World War II began.

What really happened? Alfred Helmut Naujocks received the orders from Heinrich Müller, chief of the Gestapo, to put the staged terrorist attack together at the Gleiwitz station. At Naujock's disposal were what the Germans had codenamed "canned goods," which were dissenters and criminals kept alive in detention camps until the Gestapo needed a warm dead body. To add cogency to the Gleiwitz attack, Naujocks brought along one such canned good: Franciszek Honiok. Honiok, a German from the Silesian region, was a known Polish sympathizer. Before arriving at the station, the Gestapo gave him a lethal injection. Then, they dressed him up like a Polish terrorist and brought him to the front of the radio station. Naujocks later testified that the man was unconscious, but not dead yet, when he was shot full of pistol rounds. When the police and press found Honiok's body, they assumed he'd been one of the fictional Polish terrorists that attacked the station.
In all, there were 21 fake terror actions along the border that same night, many of them using "canned goods" from German prisons so there would be plenty of bodies in the morning: evidence of Polish attackers that had been shot in self defence. The next day, after a long night filled with fake terror, Hitler gave a speech to the German Army, complete with synthetic anger: "The Polish State has refused the peaceful settlement of relations which I desired, and has appealed to arms. Germans in Poland are persecuted with bloody terror and driven from their houses. A series of violations of the frontier, intolerable to a great Power, prove that Poland is no longer willing to respect the frontier of the Reich. In order to put an end to this lunacy, I have no other choice than to meet force with force from now on. The German Army will fight the battle for the honour and the vital rights of reborn Germany with hard determination. I expect that every soldier, mindful of the great traditions of eternal German soldiery, will ever remain conscious that he is a representative of the National-Socialist Greater Germany. Long live our people and our Reich!"
Had it not been for the Nuremberg trials in 1945, the real story behind the Gleiwitz attack might never have been uncovered. It was there that the operation's leader, Alfred Naujocks, spilled the beans in a written affidavit.

6. The Myth of Pearl Harbour
On Sunday morning, December 7, 1941, the Japanese launched a sneak attack at Pearl Harbor that decimated the US Pacific Fleet and forced the United States to enter WWII. That's what most of us were taught as school children... But, except for the date, everything you just read is a myth. In reality, there was no sneak attack. The Pacific Fleet was far from destroyed. And, furthermore, the United States took great pains to bring about the assault.
On January 27, 1941, Joseph C. Grew, the U.S. ambassador to Japan, wired Washington that he'd learned of the surprise attack Japan was preparing for Pearl Harbour. On September 24, a dispatch from Japanese naval intelligence to Japan's consul general in Honolulu was deciphered. The transmission was a request for a grid of exact locations of ships in Pearl Harbour. Surprisingly, Washington chose not to share this information with the officers at Pearl Harbour. Then, on November 26, the main body of the Japanese strike force (consisting of six aircraft carriers, two battleships, three cruisers, nine destroyers, eight tankers, 23 fleet submarines, and five midget submarines) departed Japan for Hawaii.
Despite the myth that the strike force maintained strict radio silence, US Naval intelligence intercepted and translated many dispatches. And, there was no shortage of dispatches: Tokyo sent over 1000 transmissions to the attack fleet before it reached Hawaii. Some of these dispatches, in particular this message from Admiral Yamamoto, left no doubt that Pearl Harbour was the target of a Japanese attack: "The task force, keeping its movement strictly secret and maintaining close guard against submarines and aircraft, shall advance into Hawaiian waters, and upon the very opening of hostilities shall attack the main force of the United States fleet and deal it a mortal blow. The first air raid is planned for the dawn of x-day. Exact date to be given by later order."
Even on the night before the attack, US intelligence decoded a message pointing to Sunday morning as a deadline for some kind of Japanese action. The message was delivered to the Washington high command more than four hours before the attack on Pearl Harbour. But, as many messages before, it was withheld from the Pearl Harbour commanders.Although many ships were damaged at Pearl Harbour, they were all old and slow. The main targets of the Japanese attack fleet were the Pacific Fleet's aircraft carriers, but Roosevelt made sure these were safe from the attack: in November, at about the same time as the Japanese attack fleet left Japan, Roosevelt sent the Lexington and Enterprise out to sea. Meanwhile, the Saratoga was in San Diego.
Why did Pearl Harbour happen? Roosevelt wanted a piece of the war pie. Having failed to bait Hitler by giving $50.1 billion in war supplies to Britain, the Soviet Union, France and China as part of the Lend Lease program, Roosevelt switched focus to Japan. Because Japan had signed a mutual defence pact with Germany and Italy, Roosevelt knew war with Japan was a legitimate back door to joining the war in Europe. On October 7, 1940, one of Roosevelt's military advisors, Lieutenant Commander Arthur McCollum, wrote a memo detailing an 8-step plan that would provoke Japan into attacking the United States. Over the next year, Roosevelt implemented all eight of the recommended actions. In the summer of 1941, the US joined England in an oil embargo against Japan. Japan needed oil for its war with China, and had no remaining option but to invade the East Indies and Southeast Asia to get new resources. And that required getting rid of the US Pacific Fleet first.
Although Roosevelt may have got more than he bargained for, he clearly let the attack on Pearl Harbour happen, and even helped Japan by making sure their attack was a surprise. He did this by withholding information from Pearl Harbour's commanders and even by ensuring the attack force wasn't accidentally discovered by commercial shipping traffic. As Rear Admiral Richmond K. Turner stated in 1941: "We were prepared to divert traffic when we believed war was imminent. We sent the traffic down via the Torres Strait, so that the track of the Japanese task force would be clear of any traffic."

7. Israeli Terrorist Cell Uncovered in Egypt
In July, 1954, an Israeli terrorist cell was activated inside Egypt. The ensuing attacks, cleverly designed to look like the work of Arabs, blasted and torched American and British targets. First, the Israeli terrorists firebombed the Alexandria Post Office. Then, they firebombed the US Information Agency libraries: one in Alexandria, and one in Cairo. Then, they firebombed a British-owned Metro-Goldwyn Mayer theatre, a railway terminal, the central post office, and a couple more theatres...
To smuggle their bombs inside the buildings, the terrorists used devices shaped like books, hiding them inside book covers. Once inside, bags filled with acid were placed on top of the nitroglycerin bombs. After several hours, the acid ate through the bags and ignited the nitroglycerin, causing explosions and blazing infernos. 

In the early 1950s, the United States was making fast friends with Egypt, taking advantage of the new pan-Arab Egyptian government of Gamal Abdel Nasser. The warming relationship between the US and Egypt caused a very insecure Israel to feel threatened. Nassar also had plans to nationalize the Suez Canal, which had been controlled by the British for decades. Egypt had been known to blockade Israeli shipping through the canal and Israel feared Nassar would make a blockade permanent.
After US President Eisenhower began encouraging the British to leave the Suez Canal Zone, Israel started looking for a way to make the British stay, and a way to remain best buddies with America. And what better way to treat your best friend than to stab them in the back and tell them one of your other friends did it?

David Ben Gurion, Israel's founding prime minister, thought that Egyptian terrorist attacks against Americans would be a perfect way to cool the growing US/Egypt relationship. Since there were no Egyptians planning attacks against Americans, Ben Gurion's protégés did the next best thing: they recruited Israeli agents to pretend to be Egyptian terrorists.
The top-secret Israeli terrorist cell, Unit 131, had existed since 1948. In 1950, Israel's Directorate of Military Intelligence Aman was created and Israel sent an undercover agent, Colonel Avraham Dar (alias: John Darling, British citizen of the island of Gibraltar), to recruit more members to Unit 131. He also trained them in how to build bombs and terrify Americans and British civilians working and living in Egypt.
Before the terrorist cell was activated, another Israeli agent named Avraham (Avraham Seidenberg) was sent to take control from Avraham Dar. Seidenberg first went to Germany to establish an alias: he assumed the identy of Paul Frank, a former SS officer, complete with underground Nazi connections. By 1954, his new identity was in place and he went to Egypt to take command of Unit 131. Everything was going well for the Israeli terrorists it seemed. But, there was one thing the members of Unit 131 didn't know: their terrorist sleeper cell had itself been infiltrated by the Egyptian intelligence service. The new Unit 131 leader, Seidenberg, had betrayed them to the Egyptians. So, when Unit 131 member Philip Nathanson made his way to bomb the British-owned Rio theatre in Alexandria, not only was he being followed, the Egyptian intelligence service had a fire engine waiting to put out the flames. As Nathanson stood in the ticket line, his bad luck turned worse when one of the bombs in his pocket ignited and then exploded. Nathanson was burned but not killed. As nearby pedestrians shouted warnings and wondered if he was a suicide bomber, Egyptian policemen stepped in, calmed the crowd, and identified Nathanson as one of the terrorists who had been blowing up American and British buildings.
Nathanson was interrogated by Egypt's military intelligence and confessed the whole plot, which led to more arrests. When the Israeli spies were given a public trail, all the details of their terrorist training in Israel came to light.
Former Israeli Prime Minister Ben Gurion and Israel's Aman chief, Binyamin Gibli, tried to frame their own Defense Minister Pinhas Lavon. They even offered forged documents as proof. The frame-up worked for a while, so much so that the entire incident is still popularly known as the Lavon Affair. Lavon resigned and Ben Gurion came out of political retirement to replace him as Israel's Defense Minister. However, the truth did finally emerge. In 1960, a review of the inquiry discovered the fake documents, as well as perjury by Seidenberg. A committee of seven Cabinet members cleared Lavon. Although Ben Gurion never admitted fault, he did resign his post as Defense Minister. 

8. Operation Northwoods
In 1962, the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff unanimously proposed state-sponsored acts of terrorism on American soil, against American citizens. The head of every branch of the US armed forces gave written approval to sink US ships, shoot down hijacked American planes, and gun down and bomb civilians on the streets of Washington, D.C., and Miami. The idea was to blame the self-inflicted terrorism on Cuba's leader, Fidel Castro, so the American public would beg and scream for the Marines to storm Havana.
The public learned about Operation Northwoods 35 years later, when the Top Secret document was declassified by the John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Review Board. Among other things, Operation Northwoods proposed:
- Faking the crash of an American passenger plane. The disaster was to be accomplished by faking a commercial flight from the US to Jamaica, and having the plane boarded at a public airport by CIA agents disguised as college students going on vacation. An empty remote-controlled plane would follow the commercial flight as it left Florida. The commercial flight's pilots would radio for help, mention that they had been attacked by a Cuban fighter, then land in secret at Eglin AFB. The empty remote-controlled plane would then be blown out of the sky and the public would be told all the poor college students aboard were killed.
- Using a possible NASA disaster (astronaut John Glenn's death) as a pretext to launch the war. The plan called for "manufacturing various pieces of evidence which would prove electronic interference on the part of the Cubans" if something went wrong with NASA's third manned space launch.
- Blowing up buildings in Washington and Miami. Cuban agents (undercover CIA agents) would be arrested, and they would confess to the bombings. In addition, false documents proving Castro's involvement in the attacks would be "found" and given to the press.
- Attacking an American military base in Guantanamo with CIA recruits posing as Cuban mercenaries. This involved blowing up the ammunition depot and would obviously result in material damages and many dead American troops. As a last resort, the plan even mentioned bribing one of Castro's commanders to initiate the Guantanamo attack. That deserves repeating: the Pentagon considered using our tax dollars to bribe another country's military to attack our own troops in order to instigate a full-scale war.
Operation Northwoods was only one of several plans under the umbrella of Operation Mongoose. Shortly after the Joint Chiefs signed and presented the plan in March, 1962, President Kennedy, still smarting from the Bay of Pigs fiasco, declared that he would never authorize a military invasion of Cuba. In September, Kennedy denied the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, General Lyman Lemnitzer, a second term as the nation's highest ranking military officer. And by the winter of 1963, Kennedy was dead... killed, apparently, by a Cuban sympathiser in the streets of an American city.  
9. Phantoms in the Gulf of Tonkin
On August 2, 1964, three North Vietnamese torpedo boats attacked a US destroyer, the USS Maddox. The boats reportedly fired torpedoes at the US ship in international waters in the Gulf of Tonkin, about thirty miles off the Vietnam coast. On August 4, the US Navy reported another unprovoked attack on the USS Maddox and the USS Turner Joy.
Within hours, President Lyndon B. Johnson ordered a retaliatory strike. As the bases for North Vietnamese torpedo boats were bombed, Johnson went on TV and told America: "Repeated acts of violence against the armed forces of the United States must be met not only with alert defense, but with a positive reply. That reply is being given as I speak tonight." The next day, Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara assured Capital Hill that the Maddox had only been "carrying out a routine mission of the type we carry out all over the world at all times." McNamara said the two boats were in no way involved with recent South Vietnamese boat raids against North Vietnamese targets.
At Johnson's request, Congress passed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution. The resolution pre-approved any military actions Johnson would take. It gave Johnson a free ticket to wage war in Vietnam as large as the President wanted. And, true to his large Texas roots, Johnson got a big war: by 1969, over half a million US troops were fighting in Indochina. Despite McNamara's testimony to the contrary, the USS Maddox had been providing intelligence support to South Vietnamese boats carrying out raids against North Vietnam. McNamara had also testified that there was "unequivocable proof" of an "unprovoked" second attack against the USS Maddox. In fact, the second attack never occurred at all.
At the time of the second incident, the two US destroyers misinterpreted radar and radio signals as attacks by the North Vietnamese navy. It's now known that no North Vietnamese boats were in the area. So, for two hours, the two US destroyers blasted away at nonexistent radar targets and vigorously manoeuvred to avoid phantom North Vietnamese ships. Even though the second "attack" only involved two US ships defending themselves against a nonexistent enemy, the President and Secretary of Defense used it to coerce Congress and the American people to start a war they neither wanted nor needed.
After the Vietnam War turned into a quagmire, Congress decided to put limits on the President's authority to unilaterally wage war. Thus, on November 7, 1973, Congress overturned President Nixon's veto and passed the War Powers Resolution. The resolution requires the President to consult with Congress before making any decisions that engage the US military in hostilities. It is still in effect to this day. 

10. The September 11, 2001 Attacks
Like many buildings built in the 1970s, the twin towers were constructed with vast quantities of cancer-causing asbestos. The cost of removing the Twin Tower asbestos? A year's worth of revenues at a minimum; possibly as much as the value of the buildings themselves. The cost to disassemble the Twin Towers floor by floor would have run into the double-digit billions. In addition, the Port Authority was prohibited from demolishing the towers because the resulting asbestos dust would cover the entire city, which it did when they collapsed, resulting in many cancers with a confirmed link to the WTC dust.
Despite its questionable status, in January of 2001, Larry Silverstein made a $3.2 billion bid for the World Trade Center. On July 24, the Port Authority accepted the offer. Silverstein then took out an insurance policy that, understandably, covered terrorist attacks, which happened seven weeks later. To date, Silverstein has been awarded almost $5 billion from nine different insurance companies. What was an asbestos nightmare turned into a $1.8 billion profit within seven weeks. 

Donald Rumsfeld said about the Pentagon on the morning of September 10, 2001: "According to some estimates we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions." That bombshell was pretty much forgotten by the next morning. So, as a reward for losing $8,000 for every man, woman, and child in America, taxpayers patriotically forked over another $370 billion and counting to invade Iraq. True to form, the Pentagon promptly lost $9 billion of that money, too.
Eight days after the attacks, the 342-page Patriot Act was given to Congress. That same week, letters armed with anthrax from a US military lab entered the mail. Subsequently, while Congressional offices were evacuated, examined, cleaned and nasal cavities swabbed, the Patriot Act remained largely unread. Then, with little debate, the Patriot Act became law, giving the Bush administration unprecedented power to access people's medical records, tax records, information about the books they bought or borrowed and the power to conduct secret residential searches without notifying owners that their homes had been searched.
In early 2001, executives from Shell, BP, and Exxon met with Dick Cheney's Energy Task Force while it was developing its new national energy policy. Later, the companies freely admitted interest in profiting from Iraq's oil fields, even before the US invaded Iraq. And now? A new Iraq hydrocarbon law expected to pass in March 2007 will open the door for international investors, led by BP, Exxon and Shell, to siphon off 75 percent of Iraq oil wealth for the next thirty years.
According to statements by Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer, a Bronze Star recipient with 22 years of experience in intelligence operations, a classified intelligence program codenamed Able Danger had uncovered two of the three 9/11 terrorist cells a year before the attacks and had identified four of the hijackers. Shaffer alerted the FBI in September of 2000, but the meetings he tried to set up with bureau officials were repeatedly blocked by military lawyers. Four credible witnesses have come forward to verify Shaffer's claims.
In August 2001, a Pan Am International Flight Academy instructor warned the FBI that a student (Zacarias Moussaoui) might use a commercial plane loaded with fuel as a weapon. The instructor asked "Do you realize that a 747 loaded with fuel can be used as a bomb?" Moussaoui was then arrested on immigration charges, but despite the repeated urging of the school and local agents, FBI headquarters refused a deeper investigation. The US also received dozens of detailed warnings (names, locations, dates) from the intelligence agencies of Indonesia, Great Britain, Germany, Italy, Egypt, Jordan, India, Argentina, Morocco, Russia, Israel, France and even the Taliban. It would seem that the entire world was onto the bungling Saudi hijackers and somewhat perplexed that the US wasn't taking preventative actions. But in each case the US, as if by design, chose not to investigate. Instead. Condoleezza Rice, on May 16, 2002, stated: "I don't think anybody could have predicted that these people would take an airplane and slam it into the World Trade Center, take another one and slam it into the Pentagon."
We also know that on the morning of 9/11, multiple Air Force war games and drills were in progress. The hijackers would have never made it to their targets without these war games: Operation Northern Vigilance ensured that many jet fighters that would have normally been patrolling the east coast were flying over Alaska and northern Canada in a drill that simulated a Russian air attack, complete with false radar blips.
Remarkably, operation Vigilant Guardian simulated hijacked planes in the north eastern sector, while real hijackers were in the same airspace. This drill had NORAD and the Air Force reacting to false blips on FAA radar screens. Some of these blips corresponded to real military aircraft in the air posing as hijacked aircraft. That's why when NORAD's airborne control officer, Lt. Col. Dawne Deskins, heard Boston claim it had a hijacked airliner, her first words were, "It must be part of the exercise."  

Changing colours
If you follow the money, you can see that the people with the most to gain occupied the key military and civilian positions to help 9/11 happen, as well as to cover up the crime. Such is the hallmark of false flag operations throughout history. But the incredible scale of the 9/11 sham, and the sheer number of people who still refuse to see the mountain of truth in front of their eyes...that's what makes the September 11, 2001 attacks the greatest false flag operation of all time.
Hermann Göring stated: "Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. ...Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."
Adolf Hitler in Mein Kampf, a book still forbidden in some countries (such as France), wrote: "In the size of the lie there is always contained a certain factor of credibility, since the great masses of the people...will more easily fall victim to a great lie than to a small one." 






TOTALITARIANISM AND WORLD WAR III


February 2009
"Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power some- where so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it."
President Woodrow Wilson, The New Freedom, 1918 [1]
"An understanding of the forces that shaped the events of past centuries is predicated not on facts to be learned, but rather on secrets to be discovered." Author unknown.
"The idea gleaming and dancing before ones eyes like a will-of-the wisp at last frames itself into a plan. Why should we not form a secret society with but one object, the furtherance of the British Empire, and the bringing of the whole uncivilised world under British rule, for the recovery of the United States, for the making the Anglo-Saxon race but one Empire."
Cecil Rhodes: Confession of Faith, 1877, (punctuation added) [2]

"The Trilateral Commission is international. . . . It is intended to be the vehicle for multi- national consolidation of the commercial and banking interests by seizing control of the political government of the United States."
Senator Barry Goldwater, With No Apologies, 1979. [3]

We live in a wonderful country, but it is changing. Have you ever wondered why the United States is changing? Is someone, or some group, responsible for the growing Federal effort to monitor and control the American people? Should we be concerned that:

- Social Security numbers are used to identify and track American citizens.
- The Defense Department (DARPA), the FBI, and National Security Agency (NSA) maintain dossiers on American citizens.
- Companies maintain an electronic record of every item purchased with credit cards and grocery cards.
- Telephone companies maintain permanent records of every fax, cell and telephone call that is made.
- The National Security Agency (NSA) monitors every fax, e-mail, and telephone call through Project Echelon.
- When you use a cell phone, government agencies can determine your location and monitor your conversation.
- Some cell phones contain a remote-activated switch that lets government agencies monitor conversations when the cell phone is turned off.
- Google keeps a record of every Internet site you visit.
- Many new automobiles are equipped with a GPS device that tracks your location, and where you have been.
- Some cars have electronic devices that facilitate their use of toll roads and toll bridges.
- Video cameras are being installed in banks, stores, schools, offices, hallways, government buildings, parking lots, at intersections, and on highways to monitor American citizens.
- U.S. military satellites monitor activity in the United States.
- Government bureaucrats want Americans to carry an ID card.
- New U.S. passports contain an RFID chip.
- Every farm animal must have an RFID chip or other type of identification.
- Most cats and dogs have been chipped.
- International and domestic shipments are tracked via RFID.
- Government bureaucrats want to "chip" every U.S. citizen.
- Recent Privacy Legislation permits government surveillance of medical records.
- Congress appropriated $82 million to refurbish the World War II Japanese concentration camps.
- Congress appropriated $385 million to build concentration camps in the United States.
- Recent legislation permits the President to mobilize the National Guard, and use the units to control American citizens.
- The Posse Comitatus Act prevents the use of army units against American citizens, but President Bush said he didn't have to obey that law. [4]
Why are these things happening? Does someone, or some group, want to establish a dictatorship in the United States? Could the U.S. government become a totalitarian regime?
The Encyclopedia Americana (1966) describes "totalitarianism" as:

". . . a highly centralized form of government, controlled by a despot or clique, which admits of no political opposition and seeks to regulate all aspects of the citizen's life. White's Political Dictionary (New York, 1947) defines a totalitarian government as one which 'interferes with, affects and regulates every aspect of the life of the individual' . . . . 'A reaction against parliamentarianism . . . in favour of a "totalitarian" or unitary state, whether Fascist or Communist.' Fascist Italy, Nazi Germany, and Communist Russia are typical totalitarian regimes." [5]
Why is America changing? Why is every level of government restricting our freedom? What does the future hold?
Ninety-five years ago my grandfather told my father there was a secret cabal that controlled our nation. Was there a secret cabal at that time? Does it exist today?
Ninety years ago President Woodrow Wilson recognized the danger, and wrote:

"Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it. They know that America is not a place of which it can be said, as it used to be, that a man may choose his own calling and pursue it just as far as his abilities enable him to pursue it; because to-day, if he enters certain fields, there are organizations which will use means against him that will prevent his building up a business which they do not want to have built up; organizations that will see to it that the ground is cut from under him and the markets shut against him. . . .
American industry is not free, as once it was free; American enterprise is not free; the man with only a little capital is finding it harder to get into the field, more and more impossible to compete with the big fellow. Why? Because the laws of this country do not prevent the strong from crushing the weak. That is the reason, and because the strong have crushed the weak the strong dominate the industry and the economic life of this country." [6]
What were "some of the biggest men in the United States" afraid of? What did they fear? On page 184 and 185 of his book, The New Freedom, President Wilson discussed the powerful men who controlled the American economy at that time, and, although he didn't mention their names, they were: J.P. Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, the Whitneys, the Mellons, and the Rothschild agents: Jacob Schiff, Paul Warburg, and the Lehman brothers. [7] They eventually died, but most of the financial institutions they created exist today, and direct the economic destiny of our nation. The influence of the Whitney family and the Mellon family eventually diminished, and their banks merged with other banks, but J.P. Morgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, and Citigroup are largely controlled by the Rockefeller dynasty, and the Rothschild dynasty controls several major banks in the United States today. [8]
President Wilson wrote:

"However it has come about, it is more important still that the control of credit also has become dangerously centralized. It is the mere truth to say that the financial resources of the country are not at the command of those who do not submit to the direction and domination of small groups of capitalists who wish to keep the economic development of the country under their own eye and guidance. The great monopoly in this country is the monopoly of big credits. So long as that exists, our old variety and freedom and individual energy of development are out of the question. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is privately concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men who, even if their action be honest and intended for the public interest, are necessarily concentrated upon the great undertakings in which their own money is involved and who necessarily . . . chill and check and destroy genuine economic freedom. This money trust, or, as it should be more properly called, this credit trust . . . is no myth; it is no imaginary thing. It is not an ordinary trust like another. It doesn't do have seen men who . . . were put 'out of business by Wall Street,' because Wall Street found them inconvenient and didn't want their competition." [9]
In the years that followed, J.P. Morgan, the Rockefeller family, and the Rothschilds precipitated a series of senseless wars. They incited World War I because they wanted to create a world government (the League of Nations). Why did the United States enter the Great War? J.P Morgan, and his associates, purchased the editorial policy of 25 major U.S. newspapers, and launched a coordinated propaganda campaign to convince the American people the U.S. had a moral obligation to enter the conflict. Congressman Oscar Callaway's February 8, 1917, Congressional Record article described what happened. (Volume LIV, page 2947). He wrote:

"In March 1915, the J.P. Morgan interests . . . got together 12 men high up in the news- paper world and employed them to select the most influential newspapers in the United States and sufficient number of them to control generally the policy of the daily press of the United States. These 12 men worked the problem out by selecting 179 newspapers, and then began, by an elimination process, to retain only those necessary for the purpose of controlling the general policy of the daily press throughout the country. They found it was only necessary to purchase the control of 25 of the greatest papers. The 25 papers were agreed upon; emissaries were sent to purchase the policy . . . of these papers; an agreement was reached; the policy of the papers was bought, to be paid for by the month; an editor was furnished for each paper to properly supervise and edit information regarding the questions of preparedness, militarism, financial policies, and other things of national and international nature considered vital to the interests of the purchasers." [10]
During World War I, and every subsequent U.S. war, the banking dynasties financed both sides of the conflict, and prolonged the engagements until both sides were exhausted, disheartened, and bankrupt. Most of the historians who have studied the Great War believe the banking dynasties prolonged the conflict because they wanted to make money, but I believe the financiers prolonged the Great War because they wanted to increase the number of casualties, and develop support for world government. [11]
What was the true reason for World War II? The banking dynasties, and the corporations they controlled, financed Adolph Hitler and built the armaments that were used by the Allied forces and the Nazis during the terrible conflict. Why? Because the banking dynasties wanted to create the United Nations, and a world government. Can that be verified? Certainly. I suggest you read:

Antony Sutton, "Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler."
James Poole, "Who Financed Hitler?"
Charles Hingham, "Trading with the Enemy."
In addition, when I researched Colonel Edward Mandell House's papers at Yale University in 1980, I discovered a letter that Ambassador Dodd, the U.S. ambassador to Germany, wrote to Colonel House on October 29, 1936. Ambassador Dodd was concerned because U.S. corporations were arming the Nazis, and he wrote:

"It seems to me that a very large part of the wealth of every country is now devoted to rearmament - the completest armament that Europe has ever known. This would remind you sadly of what you saw here in June 1914. . . . I might say to you that in spite of all the debts and all the huge losses since the great war, more than a hundred of our great corporations have subsidiaries here, and are of course involved in a great deal of the acute business which goes on. At the same time no corporation can take profits out of the country. . . . This entanglement of great business relations all over the world would seem to me to argue strongly for peace. Yet a great many of these corporations are supplying the means for rearmament, actually supplying arms. It's strange to me that they are willing to risk the property of their stock- holders in such a way. But you know how unwise bankers were between 1923 and 1928; also how much they lost for their depositors. Is it not possible some way to avoid a repetition of such tremendous losses." [12]
General Motors, General Electric, Standard Oil, ITT, IBM, Ford, Dow Chemical, and dozens of other U.S. corporations, built the German weapons that killed millions of English, French, Russian, and American servicemen during World War II, but the information has been kept from the American people. [13]
The banking dynasties, and their corporate allies, involved the U.S. in a series of no-win wars that were fought under the auspices of the United Nations: i.e. Korea, Vietnam, Gulf War I, and Gulf War II. Why? Because they wanted to destroy the moral fabric of our nation, accumulate wealth, and promote support for a world government. [14]
The financial dynasties used the military and economic power of the United States to install authoritarian leaders in foreign nations: i.e. Lenin and Stalin in Russia, Adolph Hitler in Germany, Benito Mussolini in Italy, Chairman Mao in China, Fidel Castro in Cuba, the Mullahs in Iran, and Robert Mugabe in Rhodesia (Zimbabwe). Why? Because the financial dynasties needed a foreign enemy to justify increasing the power of the U.S. government, and expanding domestic surveillance. [15]
The effort to establish a totalitarian world government has existed since Nimrod tried to unite the nations 5,000 years ago. There have been numerous attempts since that time, but they invariably failed because most people don't want to be ruled by other nations. The Egyptians tried to conquer the world, the Babylonians tried to conquer the world, the Persians tried, Alexander the Great tried, and Rome tried, but they failed, and the western segment of the Roman Empire collapsed in 476 A.D. Three-hundred-and fifty years later Charlemagne established the Holy Roman Empire, and that government ruled Europe until 1806 when Napoleon Bonaparte defeated the Austrian army. During the years that followed Napoleon conquered most of Europe, and might have conquered the world if his attack on Russia had succeeded in 1812. Two years later (1814) Napoleon was forced into exile, but he returned the following year, and fought his final battle two miles south of a Belgian village called Waterloo.
Have you ever wondered how Napoleon Bonaparte was able to win dozens of battles? Was he a military genius? Was he lucky? Thousands of books have been written about Napoleon's life, but only a few of them mention the fact that Napoleon obtained a copy of The Book of Fate when he was in Egypt, and accessed the esoteric knowledge that guided the remainder of his military career. Why is that important? Because:

"An understanding of the forces that shaped the events of past centuries is predicated not on facts to be learned, but rather on secrets to be discovered."
Was the "esoteric knowledge" Napoleon learned in The Book of Fate the source of his military success? If you research that subject on the Internet, you will discover several sites support that thesis, and other sites that discuss the fact that many military leaders and philosophers have been involved in astrology and/or the occult: i.e. Pythagoras, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Alexander (the Great), Hitler, Cecil Rhodes, Winston Churchill, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Nancy Reagan, Hillary Clinton, J.P. Morgan, Andrew Carnegie, Henry Ford, the Rothschilds, and members of the Rockefeller family. If you would like to verify that information, on the Internet use a word search for the person's name and the word "occult." I also suggest:

www.paranormality.com/napoleon_fate_book.shtml
http: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitler_and_the_Occult
"The Eye Of The Phoenix," DVD, Adullam Films
"The Secret Mysteries of America's Beginnings," DVD, Adullam Films
"The Dark Worship," Toyne Newton
"Brotherhood of Darkness," Stanley Monteith
"The Secret Destiny of America," Manly P. Hall
"The Life of Alexander," Plutarch. [16]
If my premise is correct, why did the occult force that guided Napoleon abandon him at Waterloo? I believe the men who controlled the British government at that time were also involved in the occult, and they utilized the amazing power of "fractional reserve banking" to purchase the weapons and mercenaries that defeated Napoleon Bonaparte.
Can I verify that premise? No, but I can verify the fact that leading members of the British aristocracy have been members of "The Order of the Garter" which is an occult organization, [17] and they have used the hidden power of "fractional reserve banking" to finance their effort to unite the world - from 1694 when William Paterson established the Bank of England [18] - until 1918 when the Round Table (a front group for Cecil Rhodes' secret society) ceded control of their program to an American group led by J.P. Morgan who was deeply involved in astrology and the occult. [19] Three years later, (1921) J.P. Morgan, and his followers, founded the Council on Foreign Relations, which is an integral part of the "invisible government" that rules the United States today. [20] What is their objective? They want to establish a world government, a world financial system, and a world religion.
To verify that statement, I suggest you read:

Carroll Quigley: "Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time."
Carroll Quigley: "The Anglo-American Establishment."
Gary Allen: "None Dare Call it Conspiracy."
Cleon Skousen: "The Naked Capitalist."
Stanley Monteith: "Brotherhood of Darkness."
All of the books discuss Cecil Rhodes' secret society, but my book, Brotherhood of Darkness, discusses the spiritual force that is directing the current effort to unite the world. [21]
There is much more to this story, but it will have to wait until next month.
There are two major components to the current economic crisis. The first component is the collapse of the Collateralized Debt Obligations (bundled home mortgages) and the other fraudulent assets that were sold to financial institutions throughout the world. The second component is collapse of the $700 trillion derivative market (uninsured insurance policies) that will destroy the financial stability of every nation in the world.
What can be done? The Bush administration didn't address either problem. Instead, as of November 30, 2008, the Bush administration either pledged, loaned, or gave $7.4 billion to the financial institutions that precipitated the financial crisis, and by the time President Bush left office in January 2009, the Bush administration had either pledged, or given, an additional $2 million to the major financial institutions.
Will the massive expenditures solve the problem? No! You are witnessing the transfer of the wealth of the American people to the financial institutions that intentionally created the problem. What will happen? We will soon see the onset of hyperinflation (an increase in the supply of money) that will destroy the value of our currency, and destroy our nation.

The Statue of Liberty — A Masonic Goddess from Top to Bottom


The Babylonian Ishtar, Imperial Rome’s goddess Libertas was Papal Rome’s “MOTHER OF THE HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH” and the template for America’s Statue of Liberty.

One of the many proofs of Freemasonry’s cult of liberty, and furthermore of its deep influence upon our culture and mentality, is the Statue of Liberty. This colossus in New York’s harbor was conceived by Freemasons, financed by Freemasons, built by Freemasons, and installed by Freemasons in a Freemasonic ceremony. The poem about “the huddled masses” inscribed on its base was written by American Jewess, Emma Lazarus.

The maker of the statue was Freemason Frederic-Auguste Bartholdi. He had already made a statue of the Freemason Marquis de Lafayette for the city of New York, for the occasion of the centenary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

Bartholdi sailed to America, at the suggestion of other Freemasons and kindred spirits in France, for the purpose of proposing the project. Although he had no drawings as he set sail, his Masonic biographer writes, as he entered New York harbor, “he caught a vision of a magnificent goddess (Nimrod’s Semiramis — Isis or Astarte), holding aloft a torch (of Illuminism) in one hand and welcoming all visitors to the land of freedom and opportunity” (signifying Brotherhood control of the American people by the “liberties” perpetrated against them).

Returning to France, he managed to raise, through the help of a great deal of Masonic propaganda, the sum of 3,500,000 French francs, a very large sum for the 1870′s. For the face of his “Goddess of Liberty” he chose his own mother.


Structural framework was provided by Freemason Gustave Eiffel, later to be famous for the 984-feet (300-meter) high Eiffel Tower. Although financial support for the statue was forthcoming in France, America was not willing to put up the money for the pedestal. It was Joseph Pulitzer, the owner and editor of the New York World, who managed to raise over $100,000 for the project.

On Washington’s Birthday in 1877, Congress accepted the statue as a gift from the French people. Bedloe’s Island, now Liberty Island, was chosen by General Sherman, the well-known Atlanta-burner. Meanwhile in Paris the work gradually progressed. Levi P. Morton, the then Ambassador to France, drove the first rivet. The statue was finished on May 21, 1884, and presented to Ambassador Levi Morton on July 4th of the same year by Ferdinand de Lesseps, builder of the Suez canal.

On the American side, the chairman of the American committee to receive the statue contacted the Grand Lodge of the Free and Accepted Masons of the State of New York. It had been a tradition in America to have the cornerstone of major public and private buildings and monuments “consecrated” with full Masonic rites, ever since Freemason George Washington, in 1793, had personally laid the cornerstone of the Capitol, with the assistance of the Grand Lodge of Maryland.

The cornerstone of the Washington Monument, inscribed “Joseph Pulitzer, Russian immigrant and Jew.” was also laid in a Masonic ceremony. The ceremony was set for August 5, 1884. It poured rain.

The decorated vessel ‘Bay Ridge’ carried about a hundred Freemasons, along with some civil officials, to Bedloe’s Island. Freemason Richard M. Hunt, the principal architect of the pedestal, handed the working tools to the Masonic officers.

Then Freemason Edward M.,L. Ehlers, Grand Secretary and a member of the Continental Lodge 287, read the list of items to be included in the copper box within the cornerstone: a copy of the United States Constitution; George Washington’s Farewell Address; twenty bronze medals of Presidents up through Chester A. Arthur [including Washington, Monroe, Jackson, Polk, Buchanan, Johnson and Garfield, who were all Freemasons]; copies of New York City newspapers; a portrait of Bartholdi; a copy of ‘Poem on Liberty’ by E. R. Johnes; and a list on parchment of the Grand Lodge officers.

The traditional Masonic ceremony was observed. The cornerstone being found square, level and plumb, the Grand Master applied the mortar and had the stone lowered into place. He then struck the stone three times, and declared it duly laid. Then the elements of “consecration” were presented, corn, wine, and oil.

The “Most Worshipful” Grand Master then spoke a few words. He posed the question: “Why call upon the Masonic Fraternity to lay the cornerstone of such a structure as is here to be erected?”

His answer was: “No institution has done more to promote liberty and to free men from the trammels and chains of ignorance and tyranny than has Freemasonry.”

The principal address was given by the Deputy Grand Master: “Massive as this statue is, its physical proportions sink into comparative obscurity when contrasted with the nobility of its concept. Liberty Enlightening the World! How lofty the thought! To be free, is the first, the noblest aspiration of the human breast. And it is now a univally admitted truth that only in proportion as men become possessed of liberty, do they become civilized, enlightened and useful.”

The statue arrived in dismantled pieces in June of 1885. The statue was dedicated on October 28, 1886. President Grover Cleveland [who although sympathetically disposed toward the craft was not a Freemason] presided over the ceremony and Freemason Henry Potter, Episcopal Bishop of New York gave the invocation. Freemason Bartholdi pulled the tricolor French flag off the statue’s face. The main address was given by Freemason Chauncey M. Depew, a United States Senator.

The Statue Of Liberty

by Dennis L. Cuddy, Ph.D.

The SL was presented to the U.S. in 1884 and dedicated October 28, 1886. It was built by French engineer Gustave Eiffel. Eiffel was a Freemason as was its designer Auguste Bartholdi, and the SL was a gift from the French Grand Orient Temple Masons to the Masons of America.

The SL’s official title is “Liberty Enlightening the World,” with “Liberte” being one of the watchwords of the French Revolution of 1789. At the Masonic congress meeting in Paris on July 16, 1989, Louis Amiable affirmed that “the French Freemasons of the 18th Century made the Revolution,” and Colfavru asserted that “amongst its adepts” was Voltaire “under the respectful and fraternal patronage of Ben Franklin.” Franklin helped initiate Voltaire into Freemasonry.

These “adepts” to whom Colfavru referred were from the Enlightenment period. And “Enlightened Ones” is also the translation of the word “Illuminati” who, according to the Freemason Marquis de Luchet (who obtained the position of Bibliothec for Voltaire) in Essai Sur La Secte Des Illumines (1789), infiltrated the French Masonic lodges. To the Illuminati, Liberte meant moral license, and during the French Revolution, a prostitute was placed on the altar at the Cathedral of Notre Dame.

The SL looks like Semiramis, including the 7 rays coming from her head. (for pictures see next to last page of my April 26/May 1, 2003 NewsWithViews article). Semiramis is the legendary Assyrian queen who reputedly founded Babylon in the early 9th Century B.C. and was known for her sexual license. Voltaire even wrote a play called Semiramis.

The Babylonians in The Holy Bible were known for their rebellion against God, and even before Babylonia existed, the Babylonians’ ancestors built the Tower of Babel as a rebellion against God. Recently, there was a European Community poster showing their rebuilding of the Tower of Babel today (see two pictures from the middle of dennis 75), and it is modeled after 16th century artist Pieter Bruegel’s painting of the Tower of Babel, with the added slogan “Europe: Many Tongues, One Voice.” The building in which the Secretary-General of the Council of the European Union (Javier Solana) is located also looks like the Tower of Babel.

Is Babylon relevant to the SL and New York City (NYC) today? In 1997, there was an engraving placed on St. John the Divine Cathedral in NYC that showed the city being destroyed. This, no doubt, refers to the Rev. 14:8 saying that a “great city” will be attacked, as it reads: “Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city.” We know that this modern Babylon will fall in large part due to sexual license (fornication) for which Semiramis (which looks like the SL) was known. We know that “the great *… sitteth on many waters,” and NYC is at the juncture of the Hudson River, East River, New York Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. We know the destroyed city is on the coast because Rev. 18:17-18 states that “every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors… cried when they saw the smoke of her burning.” We know that her burning occurs in modern times because Rev. 18:9 states “the kings of the earth… shall see the smoke of her burning.” And that would only be possible within instantaneous televised pictures. We also know the destruction will probably be caused by some type of nuclear device because Rev. 18:19 indicates that “in one hour is she made desolate.”

Interesting also is the fact that in a 4th Century A.D. translation of The Holy Bible, Rev. 18:23 reads: “And the light of the lamp shall shine no more at all in thee.” Emma Lazarus’ Sonnet, “The New Colossus,” on the SL ends with “I lift my lamp beside the golden door.”

Since rebellion against God will be the primary reason for the destruction of the modern Babylon, it is appropriate to note that rebellion against God was the main characteristic of Lucifer. At the front of Rules for Radicals (1971) by community organizer leader Saul Alinsky (admired by President Barack Obama), he offers an “acknowledgement” to “the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom—Lucifer.”

At the time French Freemasons gave the SL to the U.S., former Confederate Brig. Gen. Albert Pike was Sovereign Grand Commander of the Scottish Rite of Freemasons, Southern Jurisdiction. And exactly 100 years before Alinsky’s acknowledgement to Lucifer, Ku Klux Klan chief justice Pike praised Lucifer in his Morals and Dogma (1871). The next year (1872), Pike again praised Lucifer in his Indo=Aryan Deities and Worship (As Contained in the) Rig Veda. Pike reorganized the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, and in their levels of initiation, Freemasons say they want “more light.” The word Lucifer means “Light Bearer.”

It should be noted at this point that most Freemasons don’t really understand the symbols of the Craft, as Pike said in Morals and Dogma that they are “intentionally misled by false interpretations” regarding these. Pike wrote that “it is not intended” that Masons in the lower or Blue Degrees “shall understand them: but it is intended that [they] shall imagine” they do. He said the true meanings of Masonic symbols are “reserved for the Adepts, the Princes of Masonry.”

Pike also authored Irano=Aryan Faith and Doctrine (As Contained in the) Zend=Vesta (1874), and he often emphasized Aryan (elite) man, expressing his belief in the concept of the “Aryan master race” in his Lectures of the Arya (1873). Pike used the Aryan symbol of the swastika as the Masonic symbol because he believed Freemasonry was the original religion of the Aryans as written in the Vedas (from a July 6, 1875 letter by Pike). In case you think modern Masons disavowed Pike’s Morals and Dogma, in the January 1989 edition of the Mason’s New Age journal, Sovereign Grand Commander C. Fred Kleinknecht wrote: “The apex of our teachings has been the rituals of our degrees and Morals and Dogma, written by Sovereign Grand Commander Albert Pike over a century ago.”

From where did this concept of an Aryan elite come? Plato in his 4th Century B.C. work The Republic emphasized rule by an elite Republic of Philosophers. He said that 200 years before his time, the Greek philosopher Solon visited the priests of the Temple of Isis in Sais, Egypt (former U.S. Senator and presidential candidate Bob Dole has been for decades a Shriner/Freemason of Isis Temple in Salina, Kansas).

SL sculptor Bartholdi originally planned it as a statue of the goddess Isis, “a robed woman holding aloft a torch,” overlooking the area of the Suez Canal. Isis is also known as the Roman goddess Juno (there is a 725 B.C. statue of Juno holding a torch), as the Greek goddess Athena (in New Ager Jean Houston’s co-authored Riding Into Your Mythic Life she refers to the SL perhaps standing “as one of the manifestations for the dynamic of Athena’s evolving form”), as the Sabine goddess Feronia (goddess of liberty), and as the Babylonian goddess Ishtar or Semiramis mentioned earlier.

The priests at the temple of Isis told Solon about the Aryans being the only one of seven civilizations to survive the destruction of Atlantis (Sir Francis Bacon in 1624 authored The New Atlantis referring to America), and that the Aryans relocated in Shamballa near Tibet. Their symbol was the swastika representing an elite race of people. When Allied forces entered Berlin in 1945, they found 1000 Tibetan lamas’ corpses in Nazi uniforms, and the Nazis’ symbol was the swastika.

Swastikas have also been in the building at Yale University for the secret society of Skull & Bones to which both Bush presidents have belonged. Skull & Bones was begun in 1832 by William Huntington Russell and modeled after a German university corps. Russell matriculated in Germany at Tugenbund and Berschenschaften, where the Illuminati had formed student societies at universities. The Illuminati tutored Alexander I, Emperor of Russia 1801-1825.

Six years after Alexander’s death, Helena von Hahn was born in Russia in 1831. She was the daughter of Col. Peter von Hahn of the ancient von Hahn family in Germany. Her married name would be Blavatsky, and she would become a close friend (and Co-Mason) with Albert Pike. On October 10, 1875, she founded the Theosophical Society in the U.S., and in 1877 authored Isis Unveiled. In the 1880s, she co-edited Lucifer with Annie Besant who wore a swastika pendant.

Besant was asked by William Stead to write for his Pall Mall Gazette a review of Blavatsky’s The Secret Doctrine (1888), which Adolph Hitler would keep beside his bed and learn of “the power of” the swastika. Stead was a confidant of Freemason Cecil Rhodes who formed the secret Society of the Elect “to take the government of the whole world.” Rhodes’ mentor at Oxford University was John Ruskin, who has a swastika at the top of his gravestone. Rhodes Trust member Rudyard Kipling has swastikas on many of his early books.

Annie Besant was succeeded by occultist Alice Bailey whose first works were published by Lucifer Publishing, which became Lucis Trust and managed the UN Meditation Room for many years. Bailey often wrote of the need for a “new world order” and “points of light” connected to “service.” President George H.W. Bush (Skull & Bones member) would years later speak of the need for these same things. Relevant to “points of light” and the 7 rays of the SL, Alice Bailey authored The Seventh Ray: Revealer of the New Age indicating that there would be a “future scientific religion of Light.” She explained “that seven great rays exist in the cosmos…. They might be regarded as seven intelligent Entities through Whom the plan is working out.”

“The plan” includes a “Federation of Nations” that would be taking rapid shape by 2025 A.D., and there would be a “synthesis in business, in religion, and in politics.” According to Bailey, this would come about in the Aquarian Age, as we are moving from the “Piscean Age, governed by the sixth Ray of Devotion and Idealism,” to the “Aquarian Age, ruled by the seventh Ray of Order and Organization.” She said the time of the sixth Ray Piscean Age was dominated by “Many Christian people. Fanatics. Numbers of earnest Churchmen of all the world’s religions.” But the seventh Ray Aquarian Age would be dominated by “Masons. Financiers. Great Businessmen and organizers of all kinds.” (Perhaps community organizers?) Bailey explained that Masonry emanated from Shamballa, and that on the seventh Ray there would be “Your Masonic opportunity and your ability to organize and rule.”

Connecting Masons, Lucifer, and the Aryans of Shamballa, leading Masonic philosopher Manly P. Hall in The Lost Keys of Freemasonry (1923) revealed that “the seething energies of Lucifer are in his [the Mason’s] hands.” Hall wrote in The Secret Destiny of America (1944) that The Order of the Quest symbol is on the cover of Sir Francis Bacon’s The New Atlantis and that Masonic Grand Master Ben Franklin was a member of that secret Order. Hall explained that Bacon’s secret society was set up in America before the middle of the 17th century, and that it was most powerful in Germany, France, and the Netherlands.

In Bernard Fay’s Revolution and Freemasonry—1680-1800, one finds that the Boston Tea Party was initiated from a tavern known as the “Arms of Freemasonry” or the “Green Dragon.” The “Green Dragon” was also the name of the esoteric Buddhist society through which the colony of Tibetan lamas settled in Berlin (1000 corpses of whom were later found in Nazi uniforms).

As stated earlier, the Aryans of Atlantis supposedly went to Shamballa, near Tibet. Madame Blavatsky in her writings referred to the Aryans as the 5th race in human civilization, and she also referred to the “6th root race.” In the Scottish Rite Freemasons’ journal New Age (September 1950), C. William Smith wrote about “the unification of all races, religions and creeds… a new religion of ‘The Great Light’… and the American race will be the 6th Aryan civilization… for the dawn of the New Age of the world.” Concerning Freemasonry recently, author Dan Brown’s latest book focuses on their House of the Temple in Washington, D.C. (a statue of Luciferian and Masonic Sovereign Grand Commander Albert Pike stands in the city). However, interestingly absent from Brown’s volume is the fact that a swastika is embedded just above a serpentine/dragon figure on the façade of the House of the Temple! (see paragraph two of dennis 173 for link).

[Note: The alleged bombing attempt in New York City by Faisal Shahzad has all the appearances of Obama’s “Mission Accomplished” like George W. Bush said at the beginning of the Iraq War. To me, it was clear that Saddam Hussein wanted our forces to reach Baghdad quickly, because only then would we break out of battle formation and into smaller patrols more easily hit by “Improvised Explosive Devices,” etc.

Shortly after Shahzad was taken off the Arab Emirates airline by authorities, Obama and they started congratulating themselves on their accomplishment. What they should have done is noted how non-serious this attack really looked. Sure, the material to be exploded was real. It had to be in even a “trial run,” which is what this may turn out to have been.

Why do I say this? For starters, he deliberately made his SUV conspicuous by illegally parking it in a bus lane. Next, who could miss the smoke coming out of his vehicle, because he left the engine running in front of a phone booth? Then, the fertilizer inside the gun locker in his Pathfinder was incapable of exploding anyway!

When apprehended, Shahzad was calmly sitting on the plane. His first question to the officer was “Who are you, FBI, etc.?” What did he care if it was the New York City police instead of the FBI? Secondly, he said “I’ve been expecting you.” And thirdly, he said “What took you so long?” All of these would be statements by someone simply conducting a trial run for the Taliban/Al Qaeda so they could see step-by-step what our response would be and how quickly. They probably learned a lot from this exercise. I only hope our self-congratulatory officials will recognize the Taliban’s/Al Qaeda’s possible strategy in time to prevent a real attack. And by the way, this alleged attack happened just in time to save the jobs of 900 New York City police officers whose positions were about to be cut. How about that?!]

In Part 1 of this series, I mentioned that the Statue of Liberty (SL) has 7 rays of light emanating from its head (or brain where intelligence or knowledge is located). The rays of light end in points and are therefore “points of light.”

I also mentioned the SL was a gift from the Grand Orient Freemasons of France to their fellow Masons in the U.S. To Confederate General and slave owner Albert Pike, Sovereign Grand Commander of the Scottish Rite Freemasons (Southern Jurisdiction) at the time the SL was given, God is a point within a circle, or a “centre of Light” emanating “spirits of light” or intelligences, and this is a Gnostic concept. Gnosis means knowledge or enlightenment, and the path to Gnosis can be found in various historical myths such as that of Semiramis, who looks like the SL including 7 rays of light emanating from her head.

Gnostic concepts were prevalent during the period of the Enlightenment (a European intellectual movement of the 17th and 18th centuries), in which philosophes or encyclopedists like Condorcet promoted Gnostic concepts such as self-salvation. In this sense, they were atheists or viewed the God of The Holy Bible as restrictive (e.g., declaring thou shalt not do certain things), but Lucifer was a liberator (e.g., telling Eve in the Garden of Eden to decide for herself whether to eat the forbidden fruit contrary to God’s command). On the title page of the first edition of philosoph Diderot’s Encyclopedia (1751) is a depiction of Lucifer beside a square and compass (Masonic symbols).

The connection between Freemasonry and Gnosticism is clearly demonstrated in “Gnostic Reflections in Freemasonry” written by Timothy Hogan (district lecturer for the Grand Lodge of Colorado) on July 9, 2009. He points out that “Gnosticism and Gnostic thought are mentioned several times in the Scottish Rite degrees.”

Regarding the term “points of light,” in a September 1788 letter from Freemason Alexander Hamilton to Freemason George Washington encouraging the latter to run for the presidency of the U.S., Hamilton wrote: “…the point of light in which you stand at home and abroad will make an infinite difference in the respectability with which the government will begin its operations….” And on October 3, 1788 Washington replied: “In taking a survey of the subject in whatever point of light I have been able to place it….”

Washington became president in 1789, and his Secretary of State was Thomas Jefferson who was just returning from France where he had succeeded Benjamin Franklin as U.S. Minister to that nation. The French Revolution occurred in that same year (1789) in France, and in 1793 Edmond Charles (Citizen) Genet became French Envoy to the U.S. Among the things that Genet did that annoyed President Washington was setting up "Democratic Societies," such as the Mingo Creek Democratic Society in western Pennsylvania that fomented the Whiskey Rebellion of July 1794 (they actually wanted to secede and set up their own country there).

Before Jefferson resigned as Secretary of State effective December 31, 1793, Washington asked him to request that Genet leave the U.S. In response to Jefferson’s request, Genet expressed surprise because, he said, Jefferson had “initiated me [Genet] in the mysteries” that influenced his hatred of those seeking absolute power.

Jefferson was an apologist for Illuminati founder Adam Weishaupt, and Genet was an Illuminist who had first gone to Russia as French Charge d’Affaires in the late 1780s and worked there with Illuminist Prince Pavel Dolgorukii (maternal grandfather of Helena Petrovna von Hahn Blavatsky mentioned in Part 1 of this series). Genet did not leave the U.S., but rather was allowed to stay here due to the Jacobin threat in France. He moved to New York, married the daughter of Gov. George Clinton (who would become President Jefferson's vice-president), and stirred up "democratic" rebellion there. In 1802, John Wood authored A Full Exposition of the Clintonian Faction and the Society of the Columbian Illuminati in New York, etc., referring to "the mutual affection and sympathy which exist between Mr. (DeWitt) Clinton and the Columbian Illuminati." DeWitt Clinton was Masonic Grand Master of New York and Gov. George Clinton's nephew.

Another key figure in the beginning of the French Revolution was Freemason Marquis de Lafayette, who in the early 1800s brought to the U.S. Madame Francoise d’Arusmont (known here as Fanny Wright). She joined Robert Dale Owen in his New Harmony, Indiana commune (the first in the U.S.) in 1828, and the next year they joined Orestes Brownson to form The Working-Men’s Party in New York. Brownson in The Works of Orestes Brownson revealed their plan as follows: “The great object was to get rid of Christianity. The plan was… to establish a system of state—we said national—schools, from which all religion was to be excluded,… and to which all parents were to be compelled by law to send their children…. We were to have godless schools for all the children of the country…. The plan has been successfully pursued….” This marked a great success toward the acceptance of the values of the French Revolution, symbolized by the SL/Semiramis in this country.

As the seeds of the French Revolution spread throughout Europe, the Italian revolutionary group, the Carbonari, formed and was later joined by Madame Blavatsky, who was wounded at the Battle of Montana near Rome on November 3, 1867. The leader of the Carbonari was 33-degree Freemason Giuseppe Mazzini, who was referred to as an “established point of light when rays traversed the world.”

This joining of the concept of “rays” and “points of light” fits precisely the SL, which some have noted looks somewhat Hermaphroditic. In Luciferian Alice Bailey’s The Rays and the Initiations (Volume 5 of A Treatise on the Seven Rays), she explains that after the 4th initiation, “All that remains is a point of light. This point is conscious, immutable and aware of the two extremes of the divine expression… [which] are fused and blended into the One. Of this One the divine Hermaphrodite is the concrete symbol—the union in one of the pairs of opposites, negative and positive, male and female.” Relevant to the Hermaphroditic appearance of the SL, it should be noted that in addition to the female goddess Semiramis having 7 pointed rays of light coming from her head, there is on page 36 of a special edition of U.S. News and World Report titled "Secrets of the Lost Symbol" an ancient stone depiction of the Persian/Roman sun god of light, Mithras, with 7 pointed rays of light coming from his head.

Also relevant to the Hermaphroditic appearnace of the SL is the statement by theosophist Shirley McCune in her co-authored The Light Shall Set You Free, where she claims: "The goal of all humanity... is to become androgynous." McCune has been a director of the Mid-continent Regional Educational Laboratory and the Education Commission of the States. In her book, she also talks about a "point of light" and entering "the New Age" and "the Age of Aquarius." Much of the information in her book McCune says was "channeled" to her from Master Morya, the same "Ascended Master" mentioned by Luciferian Alice Bailey and by the Arlington, Texas headquartered Robert Muller Schools around the world (Muller was U.N. Assistant Secretary-General for decades).

Occultist Alice Bailey also explains that “synthesis is an attribute of the divine will and the outstanding quality of Deity,” which will be evident in “the New Age.” And this “synthesis dictates the trend of all the evolutionary processes today; all is working towards larger unified blocs, towards… international relationships, global planning… economic fusion,….” Aren’t we seeing these today?

Bailey referred to “that great disciple, F.D. Roosevelt.” And referring to the period of FDR, while Bailey viewed Hitler as bad, she also stated regarding Palestine that “the Jews, by their illegal and terroristic activities, have laid a foundation of great difficulty for those who are seeking to promote world peace.” She likewise praised the Aryan race while referring to “Zionist Dictators” and criticizing “the Zionist Movement in the United States” as one of “these Forces of Evil.”

This is similar to the view of the anti-Semitic Albert Pike in Lectures on the Arya (published in 1873, with copyright 1930 by the Scottish Rite Freemasons’ Supreme Council, Washington, D.C.), wherein he declared, “The single fact that we owe not one single truth, not one idea in philosophy or religion to the Semitic race is, of itself, ample reward for years of study, and it is a fact indisputable, if I read the Veda and Zend Avesta aright.” Instead, Pike praised the Aryans as follows: “They were white men,… the superior race in intellect, in manliness, the governing race of the world, the conquering race of all other nations.”

In Alice Bailey’s treatise on "the seven rays” (like on the SL), she claimed: “Seventh ray energy is… this energy which will bring in the new world order for which all men wait.” What are the obstacles to that which Bailey called “the Plan” for a new world order? In Problems of Humanity (1947), she avowed: “What we need above all to see—as a result of spiritual maturity—is the abolition of those two principles which have wrought so much evil in the world and which are summed up in two words: Sovereignty and Nationalism.”

In 1891, Cecil Rhodes formed the secret Society of the Elect “to take the government of the whole world,” in his own words. Toward that end, a member of Rhodes’ Association of Helpers was noted world historian Arnold J. Toynbee who, in Copenhagen in June 1931, delivered a speech stating: “We are at present working discreetly with all our might to wrest this mysterious force called sovereignty out of the clutches of the local nation states of the world. All the time we are denying with our lips what we are doing with our hands.”

For my high school senior English project, I was assigned the task of portraying Toynbee and on June 5, 1964 received a letter from him (at The Royal Institute of International Affairs, Chatham House, 10 St. James Square, London, Whitehall), stating: “You have certainly done an immense amount of research into my ideas, and have reproduced these substantially right. I wonder whether I could have done as good a job on this, myself.” At that time, I didn’t know Toynbee was helping to fulfill Cecil Rhodes’ secret plan.

In addition to Rhodes Scholar Strobe Talbott writing in TIME (July 20, 1992) that “perhaps national sovereignty wasn’t such a great idea after all” and “the case for world government” is “clinched” (Rhodes Scholar President Clinton wrote a congratulatory letter supporting world government regarding an award Talbott won for this TIME article), Rhodes Scholar Richard Gardner wrote similarly in 1974. In the Council on Foreign Relations’ Foreign Affairs (April 1974), Gardner opined: “An end run around national sovereignty eroding it piece by piece, will accomplish much more than the old-fashioned frontal assault.” At the time he wrote this, David Rockefeller was chairman of the CFR (1970-1985), and in Rockefeller’s Memoirs (2002) he candidly remarked: “Some even believe we [Rockefeller family] are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure—one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.”

IS THE STATUE OF LIBERTY PAGAN?


What is the history and origin of the famed "Statue of Liberty"? Is it so innocent as millions assume? There is much more to this story than most believe. It is time we pulled aside the cloak, and took a good look at the real facts, and what they mean for us, today. You might be shocked to know the deception that has been pulled over the eyes of the American people!

William F. Dankenbring

It is very interesting that the great symbol that is situated in the harbor of New York City, the Statue of Liberty, is a woman carrying a torch. As we saw in a previous issue of Prophecy Flash, New York City itself represents the city of "modern Babylon the great." Just like its predecessor of olden days, modern New York is the finanical hub and capital of the world. It is the center of American and multi-national finance, marketing, and the location of the headquarters of the United Nations.

Looking at the prophecies of the end-time Babylon in the book of Revelation, we find that it is associated with a "woman." In fact, she is called a "woman," and the prophet Isaiah speaks of her as "the daughter of Babylon." In Revelation we read:

      ". . . I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet colored beast, full of names of
      blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. . . And upon her forehead
      was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE
      MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH"
      (Rev.17:3-5).

And in chapter 18 we read, further:

      "And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having
      great power . . . And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon
      the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of demons, and the
      hold of every foul spirit . . . For all nation have drunk of the wine of the wrath
      of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with
      her, and the MERCHANTS of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance
      of her delicacies. And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of
      her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of
      her plagues" (Rev.18:1-4).

When we read all the facts, we discover that there are three components of modern "Babylon." It is a major world city and sea port of modern commerce and trade -- a "mighty city" (Rev.18:10-11). It is also a great religious system which dominates the world, and which is pagan at heart, teaching involvement with the politics of this world, abominable doctrines and spiritual fornication (Rev.17:3-4), and which is responsible for the martyrdom and death of many of YHWH's true saints (Rev.17:6). The third component of this modern "Babylon" is the great World Empire which it rides and rules --called the "Beast" in Revelation (see Rev.17:3, 8). The female Babylon is a great harlot or * (Rev.17:16) which governs a "Beast" Empire which possesses "seven heads and ten horns" (Rev.17:3).

The Daughter of Babylon

The prophet Isaiah tells us more about this symbiotic relationship. He writes of the modern "daughter" of ancient Babylon, thusly:

      "Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the
      ground: there is no throne, O DAUGHTER of the Chaldeans: for thou
      shalt no more be called tender and delicate. . . Thy nakedness shall be uncovered,
      yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet thee
      as a man. . . . And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst
      not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end of it.
      Wherefore, hear now this, thou that art given to PLEASURES, that dwellest
      CARELESSLY, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I
      shall no sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children. But these
      two things shall come to thee in a moment in ONE DAY, the loss of children
      and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude
      of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments. For thou
      hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom
      and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; thou shalt not know from whence it
      riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off,
      and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know . . .
      Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver
      themselves from the power of the flame [nuclear holocaust] . . . Thus shall they
      be unto thee with whom thou hast labored, even thy MERCHANTS, from thy
      youth; they shall wander every one to his quarter; none shall save thee" (Isaiah
      47:1-15).

New York City has been a merchant capital from its inception, from the time it was first settled by Dutch traders and called "New Amsterdam." From the time it was first settled, it was a place of rampant enterprise and merchandising, and grew to symbolize the entreprenurial spirit of America.

The world at large is totally ignorant of the occult symbolism which lies behind the famed statue of liberty which sits astride the harbor of New York, symbolizing its true inner character and purpose. The sculptor who made the great statue was Italian. His name was Auguste Bertholdi. His work was greatly influenced by the ancient sculptor Phidias who made gigantic statues of the ancient goddesses, particularly Athena, the "goddess of wisdom" and Nemesis (another name for Venus), a goddess who held a cup in her right hand. Before beginning the statue of liberty project, Bertholdi was seeking a commission to construct a giant statue of the goddess "Isis," the Egyptian Queen of Heaven, to overlook the Suez canal. The statue of Isis was to be of "a robed woman holding aloft a torch" (Statue of Liberty: 1st Hundred Years, Bernard Weisberger, p.30, quoted in Beyond Babylon, James Lloyd, p.103).

The Masonic Connection

Bertholdi never made the statue of Isis for the Suez canal -- but it seems obvious that he made it after all, fulfilling his life's ambition, when he constructed the Statue of Liberty for the United States!

Writes James Lloyd in Beyond Babylon:

      "Auguste Bertholdi was a member of the cultic Masonic Lodge in Paris, a
      `. . . secret international brotherhood linked to the ancient builders of th pyramids
      and the cathedrals' [quoted from Statue of Liberty, by Weisberger]; and as a result,
      fellow members of the mysterious order of Masons `. . . were frequently involved
      with the creation of the structure, and the various ceremonies that were dedicated
      to it' [ibid., p.44]. For example, the pedestal was built by another mason named
      Richard Hunt, and the design came from his study of `. . . pyramids, zigurrats, and
      other . . . styles' [Statue of Liberty video]. You'll recall The Tower of Babel was
      a ziggurat; and of course, the Statue of Liberty is actually a tower" (Beyond
      Babylon, p.103).

As the obelisk was completed in the 1880's, a number of American clergymen were upset that a "pagan goddess" was being placed on American soil. The Masonic Lodge, in the meantime, kept a low profile to avoid unnecessary controversy, just as they did when they planned the Washington monument, another Egyptian obelisk symbolizing the rays of the Egyptian god shining down and enlightening mankind.

The Masons, of course, trace the origin of their secret society back to king Solomon, and from him back to ancient Egypt. Says Alexander Hislop in his magnificent book The Two Babylons, concerning the origins of Masonry:

      "It is admitted that the secret system of Free Masonry was originally founded
      on the MYSTERIES OF THE EGYPTIAN ISIS, THE GODDESS-MOTHER,
      OR WIFE OF OSIRIS. But what could have led to the union of a Masonic
      body with these Mysteries, had they not had particular reference to architecture,
      and had the god who was worshipped in them not been celebrated for his success
      in perfecting the arts of forification and building. Now, if such were the case,
      considering the relation in which, as we have already seen, Egypt stood to Baby-
      lon, who would naturally be looked up to there as the great patron of the Masonic
      art? The strong presumption is, that NIMROD [the arch-rebel against Elohim -- Gen.
      10:8-10] must have been the man. He was the first that ganed fame in this way.
      As the child of the Babylonian goddess-mother, he was worshipped, as we have
      seen, in the character of Ala mahozim, `The god of fortifications.' Osiris, in like
      manner, the child of the EGYPTIAN MADONNA, was equally celebrated as `the
      strong chief of the buildings.' This strong chief of the buildings was originally
      worshipped in Egypt with every physical characteristic of Nimrod" (Hislop, The
      Two Babylons, p.43).

As Hislop shows, Isis is the Egyptian name for the Babylonian goddess Ishtar, who is also the same as Athena (Greece), Minerva (Egypt and Greece), Astarte (Syria), Cybele (Rome), Ashtoreth (Israel), and Diana (Ephesus). This statue of the pagan Madonna, the Statue of "Liberty," is a statue of this same ancient pagan "Queen of Heaven," the wife of Nimrod, or Semiramis!

Goddess Diana of the Ephesians

The worship of this pagan goddess caused no small persecution for the true believers of the first century. Paul and his entourage, preaching the true gospel about the Messiah and the Kingdom of YHWH, in the city of Ephesus, ran smack into the powerful Diana cult, and were hauled before the authorities of the city. We read in the book of Acts:

      "And the same time there arose no small stir about that way. For a certain man,
      a silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto
      the craftsmen; whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and
      said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth. Moreover ye see and hear,
      that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded
      and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with
      hands: So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that
      the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should
      be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth. And when they heard these
      sayings, they were filled with wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the
      Ephesians. And the whole city was filled with confusion: and having caught Gaius
      and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel, they rushed with
      one accord into the theatre. . . . And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the
      Jews putting him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would
      have made his defence unto the people. But when they knew he was a Jew, all
      with one voice about the space of two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the
      Ephesians" (see Acts 19:23-41).

Who was this Diana, the goddess whose followers hated the true people of YHWH, and threatened Paul and his followers and helpers?

The First World Kingdom After the Flood

The story goes back to an ancient king and arch-apostate, by the name of "Nimrod." Nimrod established the first "world kingdom" after the Flood. We read: "And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one [TYRANT] in the earth. He was a mighty hunter before YHWH: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before YHWH. And the beginning of his kingdom was BABEL . . ." (Gen.10:8-10). Nimrod was a "mighty hunter against YHWH," which is the real meaning of the Hebrew word translated "before" in this verse.

Nimrod, in beginning his kingdom, sought to become known as the Liberator, or Emancipator, or "Deliverer," of mankind, taking the titles of the true Messiah to himself. Nimrod began to be known as "Phoroneus," which has several meanings. One signifies the "Apostate," truly what Nimrod was. However, it also means, "Emanipator," or "one who sets free," or gives liberty." Nimrod "delivered" the masses of people from the "fear of YHWH," from the worship of the true Elohim, and proclaimed his form of paganized "liberty" to the people, his paganized teachings setting people free from the laws of YHWH. The term "apostate" itself means "to cast off." Nimrod was the original "man of sin" who "cast off" the laws of YHWH, and rebelled against the Most High (compare II Thess.2:1-10). Says Hislop, the name "Phoroneus" comes from "Pharo, also pronounced Pharang, or Pharong, `to cast off, to make naked, to apostatise, to set free.'"

Nimrod's Wife and Consort

But Nimrod has a consort, a woman, a "harlot-mother," who became deified with him -- his mother-wife Semiramis. One of her names under which she was worshipped was "Feronia" in Rome, the goddess of liberty. Says Alexander Hislop:

      "The Sabine goddess Feronia had evidently a relation to Phooroneus, as the
      `Emancipator.' She was believed to be THE `GODDESS OF LIBERTY,'
      because at Terracina slaves were emancipated in her temple. . . . The Chaldee
      meaning of the name `Fernonia,' strikingly confirms this conclusion. Her
      contemplar divinity, who was worshipped along with her in a grove, was, like
      Ninus, a youthful divinity. He was regarded as the `youthful Jupiter'" (p.52).

As we said earlier, another name for Semiramis or "Isis" was Cybele in Rome. As Nimrod was the "god of fortifications," so she was also an architectural deity -- the "goddess of fortifications." This version of the goddess is universally represented as wearing a crown of towers, like the Statue of Liberty! Alexander Hislop writes:

      "But of the existence of a goddess of fortifications, everyone knows that there
      is the amplest evidence. That goddess is Cybele, who is universally represented
      with a mural or TURRETED CROWN, OR WITH A FORTIFICATION ON
      HER HEAD. Why was Rhea or Cybele thus represented? Ovid . . . says, why
      the STATUE OF CYBELE WORE A CROWN OF TOWERS was, `because
      she first erected them in cities.' The first city in the world after the flood (from
      whence the commencement of the world itself was often dated) that had towers
      and encompassing walls was BABYLON; and Ovid himself tells us that it was
      SEMIRAMIS, the first queen of that city, who was believed to have `surrounded
      Babylon with a wall of brick.' Semiramis, then, the first DEIFIED QUEEN
      of that city and TOWER [the Tower of Babel] whose top was intended to reach
      unto heaven, must have been the PROTOTYPE of the goddess who `first made
      towers in cities'" (p.30).

Diana of the Ephesians was this same dame -- the goddess of towers -- the original Semiramis, wife of Nimrod. Says Hislop,

      "When we look at the Ephesian Diana, we find evidence to the very same
      effect. . . the Epesian Diana . . . was represented with all the attributes of
      the MOTHER OF THE GODS, and, as the Mother of the gods, she wore a
      TURRETED CROWN, such as no one can contemplate without being forcibly
      reminded of the TOWER OF BABEL. Now this TOWER-BEARING DIANA
      is by an ancient scholiast expressly identified with SEMIRAMIS. When,
      therefore, we remember that the Rhea or Cybele, the tower-bearing goddess, was,
      in point of fact, a Babylonian goddess, and that Semiramis, when deified, was
      worshipped under the name of Rhea, there will remain I think, no doubt as to the
      personal identify of the `godddess of fortifications" (Hislop, p.30-31).

This pagan licentious queen of vice and prostitution, infamous for her flagrant wanton spirit, was the original "tower woman." The very same goddess, known as Ashtoreth, which is cognately related to Ishtar and Astarte, the "Queen of Heaven" and "Mother of God" of the pagans, the original "Madonna" and "Celestial Virgin" (although she was no virgin!), was the pagan prototype of the "Virgin Mary" or "Madonna" of the Roman Catholic Church.

"Tower Woman"

The name "Ashtoreth" itself contains the syllable "tor" [tau resh, or TR in Hebrew] which means "to be round," or to "surround," suggesting a structure of a wall, or turret. "Ash-turrit" literally means the "woman that made the encompasing wall," and the "tor" in Ashtoreth can signify "tower." In other words, Ashtoreth, Ishtar, or our modern EASTER or Eas-tor literally means TOWER WOMAN!

Does this description really fit the "Statue of Liberty" towering on an island in New York harbor, at the mouth of the Hudson River?

The Babylonian heritage of the "Statue of Liberty" should come as no real surprise to YHWH's people. Her identity is written in her shape. She stands on a base patterned after the Babylonian stepped-pyramids, or zigurrats, of old -- which themselves were designed by the "tower" woman Semiramis and her architects. She stands literally on a base patterned after the tower of Babel! She wears a turreted crown, like Rhea, Cybele, Diana, and the pagan goddesses who were counterparts of Semiramis. She stands as a universal symbol of "liberty," apart from the laws and commandments of YHWH. She represents the "emanicpation" of mankind, and "immigration" and "unity" and the coming together of many races to become one universal mankind, all peoples coming together to one land, uniting the nations as "one," with one language.

This is exactly what ancient Nimrod and Semiramis tried to do at the original "Tower of Babel," but El-Shaddai defeated their attempt by scattering the nations and confounding their languages (Gen.11:1-9).

A New Look at the "Statue of Liberty"

Consider for a moment: The "Statue of Liberty," standing on Liberty Island, is one of the largest statues ever made. Its proper name is "Liberty Enlightening the World." The statue represents a proud woman, standing on a huge pedestal, with her right arm extended, holding high a flaming torch. A turreted crown with huge spikes symbolizing the rays of the sun rests on her head. At her feet is a broken shackle symbolizing the overthrow of "tyranny." The statue stands 151 feet in height, weighs about 100 tons, and stands on a Babylonia style tower which is 154 feet high.

In her poem "The New Colossus," Emma Lazarus calls the "Statue of Liberty" the "Mother of Exiles." But the truth is, she is the "Mother of harlots andabominations of the earth" (Rev.17:5). The liberty she promises is slavery to this world's system.

El-Shaddai abhors this world's evil system, based on the system begun in ancient Babylon by Nimrod and Semiramis. New York City, the modern Babylon, and banking capital of the world, home of Wall Street, and every wicked vice and every financial fraud and deceit, is the symbol of this world's system of financial enslavement and captivity. It is only fitting, in a sense, that the statue of the original "Queen of Heaven," the "goddess of fortifications," the Queen-Mother of Babylon, also known as Isis, Cybele, Feronia, Ishtar, Astarte, Ashtoreth, and Easter, should sit astride an island at the mouth of her world-renown harbor, beckoning to the world, "Come hither."

But El-Shaddai, our Father in heaven, says, to the contrary, "Flee fornication" with this world's evil and corrupt system of rebellion against El-Shaddai and His laws (I Cor.6:18). Paul says, "Be not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? What concord hath the Messiah with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of YHWH with idols? for YE are the temple of the living Elohim: as YHWH hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their Elohim, and they shall be my people. Wherefore COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM, and be ye SEPARATE, saith YHWH, and touch not the unclean thing [or crooked business deal, or pagan doctrine or practice!]; and I will receive you, and will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith YHWH Almighty" (II Cor.6:14-18).

To come out from it we must first of all identify it. Babylon stands identified -- and the statue to the Babylonian Queen of Heaven, known as the Statue of Liberty, also stands revealed! May YHWH help us to "Come out of Babylon" in every way!

The goddess of Liberty

Frederic Auguste Bertholdi, the sculptor who designed the Statue of Liberty was greatly influenced by the ancient sculptor Phidias who made gigantic statues of the ancient goddesses, particularly Athena, the "goddess of wisdom" and Nemesis (another name for Venus), a goddess who held a cup in her right hand. Bertholdi competed for a commission for a giant statue of the goddess "Isis," the Egyptian Queen of Heaven, to overlook the Suez Canal, before he began work on the Statue of Liberty. This statue of Isis was to be of "a robed woman holding aloft a torch."
While, Bertholdi never made the statue of Isis on the Suez Canal, he did eventually design a statue of a robed goddess holding a torch – The Statue of Liberty. The architect of the pedestal, Richard Hunt based his design on a study of ancient pyramids, mounds, and ziggurats. Pyramids and mounds were likely based on the more ancient Babylonian ziggurats, which in turn were inspired by the Biblical Tower of Babel.
The American and French Freemasons who built the Statue of Liberty produced one of the largest statues in human history. They bestowed upon her the name "Liberty Enlightening the World." Emma Lazarus’ poem "The New Colossus" calls her the "Mother of Exiles." In reality this statue depicts "Mother of harlots and abominations of the earth" (Rev.17:5).
The liberty promised by this false goddess conceals her true offerings of enslavement to a Satanic New World Order. The God of the Bible condemns this evil system based upon that vile Babylonian cult of Nimrod and Semiramis. New York City stands as a modern Babylon offering every wicked vice and every financial fraud and deceit typical of this world's system of financial enslavement and captivity. At the mouth of New Yorks Harbor sits the statue of the original "Queen of Heaven," the "goddess of fortifications," the Queen-Mother of Babylon, also known as Isis, Cybele, Feronia, Ishtar, Astarte, Ashtoreth, and Easter. Beckoning the world "Come hither."
