&lt;/span&gt;I’ve been hammering away at my last entry in the “essential thoughts” series.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I started this blogging hobby because my head was overflowing with ‘hidden history’ and ‘secret conspiracies’.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Man.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;So many years of study—I had to get it out.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Now I can hardly hammer out an entry every six months.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Even with a goal, and a plan.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I’m occupied.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I’m strangled for time.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I let myself be.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I’m trying to do it all.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Now don’t complain.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;First I read a book called “The Easy Way to Stop Smoking” by Allan Carr.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;It’s great.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;If you’re going to copy my reason—you’ll have to find the book and read it.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;The rest of my story goes like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;I was driving to the credit union to make an important transaction for my mother.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;She needed me to wire here a decent sum of money, and I had a print out of her account information.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I had it in my breast pocket.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I was driving and smoking, and as was my habit, I tossed my nearly finished (still burning) butt out the window.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Or I thought I did.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;So I walk inside and I’m immediately greeted by a bank worker, and she knows me, because my mother-&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;in-LAW&lt;/i&gt; works at the credit union.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;The bank worker is chit chatting, I’m talking back, and I notice smoke.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;A tiny wisp of smoke.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;And I ignore it.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I just ignore it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Then as we’re talking I notice it again.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;And I look down.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;And I’m smoking.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;My shirt is smoking.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I’m slightly ON FIRE.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I look at my mother-in-law’s co-worker and I say, “Excuse me, I think I’m on fire”.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I reach into my pocket.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I pull out the lit cigarette butt. I MUST have dropped there.

&lt;/span&gt;Back in the day,&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I hounded my friends about not smoking.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I attacked them.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Verbally.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Physically.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I’d ask to bum a smoke, and then break the cigarette.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I’d threaten to smash whole packs.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Sometimes I would.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;So when I turned 30 and started smoking.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I was humiliated.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;My friends looked at me in horror.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;A cigarette in &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;my&lt;/i&gt; hand?&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;In &lt;u&gt;my&lt;/u&gt; hand?&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;Impossible.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Most of them were so shocked they couldn’t tease me.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;They rarely mocked me.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;They were dumbstruck.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Sad.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Amazed.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;The night after I nearly caught myself on fire inside of the credit union, I was standing on my front porch—smoking a cigarette.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I remembered the scene from earlier.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I remembered Alan Carr’s excellent book—full of the world’s best “STOP SMOKING” advice.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I did what he said.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Allan said when you finally come to your last cigarette, you’ll know.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;And you’ll be ready.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;He said to take that last cigarette and huff a few mighty drags.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Draw it in deep and taste the disgustingness.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Tell yourself how much you hate the flavor and smell.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Tell yourself:&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I’m a non smoker.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I’m never going to smoke again.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;…and I am.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;

I’ve only recently begun to study this New Age information; so the position in my list is based on my lack of experience with the subject rather than its overall importance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My research shows that this alleged New Age movement is strongly connected to every “Essential Thought” I’ve mentioned so far.  It is also connected to subjects I will not touch on in this series like: Freemasonry and Secret Societies, the combining of churches and religions into &lt;a href="http://www.websters-online-dictionary.org/ec/ecumenical.html"&gt;‘one group’&lt;/a&gt; with ‘one mindset’. It is also connected to neo-paganism, big business, &lt;a href="http://nord.twu.net/acl/agenda21.html"&gt;Sustainable Development&lt;/a&gt; and numerous other groups.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I’m really trying to say about the New Age is this:  those true believers in this “New Age” are attempting change the earth into a &lt;a href="http://www.transatlantis.net/blog/archives/cartoon-utopia.jpg"&gt;different place&lt;/a&gt;.  They believe the world needs drastic change. To them drastic change equals progress. They are carrying out these changes according to information they have received from &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;rlz=1G1GGLQ_ENUS274&amp;amp;q=new+age+spirit+guides"&gt;spirit guides&lt;/a&gt; or “transcendent” experiences.  The New Age, as described by its own writers, believes that earth is passing from the &lt;a href="http://www.astrodynamics.net/Articles/Cycles/Age%20of%20Aquarius.htm"&gt;Age of Pisces into the Age of Aquarius&lt;/a&gt;.  The gurus of the New Age Movement believe they have been given divine guidance to change the world as we know it.  They often refer to themselves as World Servers or &lt;a href="http://docs.google.com/gview?a=v&amp;amp;q=cache%3ABcWe5eX_7hYJ%3Awww.selfempowermentacademy.com.au%2Fpdf%2FL1_M.A.P.S%2Fa_Intro%2F8-nws.PDF+%22new+world+servers%22&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;gl=us"&gt;New World Servers&lt;/a&gt;.  These terms stem from the writing of an early guru of this movement named &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;rlz=1G1GGLQ_ENUS274&amp;amp;q=alice+bailey"&gt;Alice Bailey&lt;/a&gt;.  Her writing was allegedly channeled to her by a spirit calling itself Dwaj Khul (aka “The Tibetan”).  Wikipedia’s &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Age"&gt;entry&lt;/a&gt; for “New Age” has a semi-exhaustive run down of the notable personalities.  It covers some of their beliefs and the special language surrounding their society.  As is typical with Wikipedia, there are some nice omissions:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wikipedia fails to mention that the “World Servers” hold &lt;a href="http://www.crossroad.to/articles2/2002/carl-teichrib/lucifer2.htm"&gt;Lucifer&lt;/a&gt; as one of their greatest inspirations.  It also fails to point out that New Ager’s who are leading the movement call themselves World Servers.  A little known fact about Lucifer is that he is believed by many anti-christian groups to be the “&lt;a href="http://www.experiencefestival.com/a/Lucifer/id/108532"&gt;Good Guy&lt;/a&gt;” in the bible story, having liberated mankind with his gift of the knowledge of good and evil.  &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madame_Blavatsky"&gt;Helena Blavatsky&lt;/a&gt; was a promoter of this strange view of Lucifer and her student, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_Bailey"&gt;Alice Bailey&lt;/a&gt; also believed in this perversion.  Wikipedia also omits the rolls of Freemasonry, Religion and Academia in spreading these changes across the globe. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quoting from Alice Bailey’s famous work, “The Externalization of the Hierarchy”, p.453 her spirit guide told her to write:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The three main channels through which the preparation for the new age isgoing on might be regarded as the Church, the Masonic Fraternity and theeducational field."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I first heard this quote from &lt;a href="http://keithtruth.blogspot.com/"&gt;Keith Thompson&lt;/a&gt;.  He is a writer and amateur movie maker.  He has produced videos exposing the New Age agenda and refuting common claims made by New Ager’s about the origins of Christianity.  The popular online movie “Zeitgeist” claims that Christianity is simply a composite of the Mystery Religions of the ancient world.  Keith Thompson expounds on his research and presents his evidence via his blog and his &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/KeithTruth"&gt;youtube channel&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Quote from Bailey about Masonry, Religion and Education is a revealing one.  With this three prong strategy the “World Servers” are able to promote their goals with a “something for everyone” approach. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not every person attends church, not every person is a Mason, and not every person internalizes their education in the school system.  Having the secret movement of the New Age accomplish its “&lt;a href="http://www.congregator.net/downloads/priesthood-of-new-age.pdf"&gt;Great Work&lt;/a&gt;” within these three institutions creates a blanket effect.  For a more true understanding of how these people intend to change the world, the reader needs to make an in depth study of Neuro-Linguistic-Programming &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=befugtgikMg&amp;amp;feature=related"&gt;(NLP).&lt;/a&gt; The process of ‘&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;rlz=1G1GGLQ_ENUS274&amp;amp;q=facilitating+a+consensus%E2%80%99+&amp;amp;btnG=Google+Search"&gt;facilitating a consensus’&lt;/a&gt; and the ‘powers of suggestion’ also need to be studied to gain an understanding of how these people operate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; The New Age does not work openly towards its goals.  They present a false happy face and their ulterior motives remain hidden.  Much like a vacuum cleaner salesman, they show their &lt;a href="http://www.evangelcathedral.net/"&gt;product&lt;/a&gt; in such a shining light that it looks great.  By the time a person realizes what they’ve been &lt;a href="http://theformofmoney.blogharbor.com/WitchBaphomet.gif"&gt;sold&lt;/a&gt;, the New Age salesperson is prying her fingers into her next victim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alice Bailey’s writings are like a New Age gospel; her work has influence the entire world.  She worked in tandem with her second husband Foster Bailey.  The Bailey’s were heavily involved in &lt;a href="http://theosophy.org/"&gt;Theosophy&lt;/a&gt; which was cofounded by Madame Helena Blavatsky.  The Bailey’s split with the Theosophist Society after disagreements with another famous New Ager/Theosophist named &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annie_Besant"&gt;Annie Besant&lt;/a&gt;.  Besant had doubts concerning Alice Bailey’s ‘visions’ she was receiving from her ‘Ascended Master’, and after this falling out the Baileys parted company with the Theosophist Society.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Bailey’s are the founders of a now famous non-profit agency called “&lt;a href="http://www.lucistrust.org/"&gt;Lucis Trust&lt;/a&gt;”.

I could write hundreds of pages attempting to explain and expose the New Age agenda, but you will find that numerous individuals have already accomplished this both in &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Inside-New-Age-Nightmare-Ever/product-reviews/0910311587/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;showViewpoints=1"&gt;hard copy&lt;/a&gt; and on the internet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is our Notable New Age List:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.share-international.org/background/bcreme/bc_main.htm"&gt;Benjamin Crème: &lt;/a&gt; Chief Editor of Share International Magazine and major proponent of the coming of the New Age Christ, named Maitreya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://images.google.com/images?source=ig&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;rlz=1G1GGLQ_ENUS274&amp;amp;q=Maitreya&amp;amp;um=1&amp;amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;amp;sa=N&amp;amp;tab=wi"&gt;Maitreya: &lt;/a&gt; The New Age Christ who will come and enlighten the world at the dawning of the New Age.  Having allegedly appeared once with Benjamin Crème, Crème claims his next appearance will be very soon.  Maitreya is one name for the next Buddha of Buddhism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.isgp.eu/organisations/introduction/PEHI_Maurice_F_Strong_bio.htm"&gt;Maurice Strong&lt;/a&gt;:  Former Secretary General of the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, Mr. Strong is a promoter of Global Governance via the United Nations and is deeply entrenched in the U.N.’s Agenda 21 “Green” Movement.  He is a well known as a New Age leader, networking expert and &lt;a href="http://www.freedomadvocates.org/articles/sustainable_development/maurice_strong_-_no_better_place_to_hide_than_china_20061101193/"&gt;billionaire philanthropist.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.occult-underground.com/levi.html"&gt;Eliphas Levi&lt;/a&gt;: Famous Occultist and Magician whom is given credit for introducing the tarot card into western magic.  Levi’s work has much influence with the elites of the New Age.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.occult-underground.com/crowley.html"&gt;Aleister Crowley&lt;/a&gt;:  The most famous Satanist of modern times, Crowley is given the most credit for having re-introduced “Magick” into the world.  He famously called himself “The beast of Revelation”, was a member of the “Golden Dawn” and Ordo Templi Orientis.  His famous work “The Book of the Law” allegedly came to him via his spirt guide “Aiwass”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marilyn_Ferguson"&gt;Marilyn Ferguson&lt;/a&gt;:  Famous author of “The Aquarian Conspiracy”, published 1980.  Ms. Ferguson became a lynchpin in the popular New Age movement with the ‘enlightening’ content of her book and her other works.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbara_Marx_Hubbard"&gt;Barbara Marx Hubbard&lt;/a&gt;:  Futurist and Author who is regarded as the “philosophical heir” of Buckminster Fuller, Hubbard is notorious for her promotion of “conscious evolution” and her belief that “no worldly peace can prevail until the self-centered members of the planetary body either change or die, that is the choice.” [From her book “Co-Creation: An Evolutionary Interpretation of The New Testament.]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Spangler"&gt;David Spangler: &lt;/a&gt; Famous New Age co-founder of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Findhorn_Foundation"&gt;Findhorn eco-village&lt;/a&gt;, Spangler is a self-described “practical mystic” who has been critical of the Mass-Market reputation currently surrounding the New Age.  He lectures and teaches about personal development and is involved in Community Development.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.stellarhousepublishing.com/bblc.gif"&gt;Acharya S: &lt;/a&gt; (aka D.M. Murdock) is a controversial author of books claiming that the story of Jesus Christ is a myth compiled and amalgamated from earlier ancient religions.  Her most famous work is “Christ Conspiracy: The Greatest Story Ever Sold”.  Her work was used extensively in the popular online film Zeitgeist. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I could go on forever with this list.  I was tempted to create a list of people exposing or “telling the other side” of all things New Age, but I’d rather quote what my friend &lt;a href="http://apps.congregator.net/Blog/"&gt;Bobby Garner&lt;/a&gt; said in a recent e-mail exchange:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some clarification of the "New Age" label:The New Age is not the name of a movement, and it does not identify any particular group of people, their philosophies, or their activities. The popular belief that it does is not accidental, but a carefully laid device to confuse and mislead. The modus operandi was given by Marilyn Ferguson in her 1980 book The Aquarian Conspiracy. That is the title of the book, not the name of the conspiracy, and the movement that was not a movement has no organization and no name, by design. That's the nature of a real conspiracy. The New Age is a concept embodying the essence of change and transformation. For some it's the New World Order. For others it's the eventual "ascension" to a higher level post human existence. For republicans and democrats it's the Third Way of reinvented government and global economy. For Communitarians and many religions, it's the Golden Dawn of a sustainable Brave New World on a cleansed "New Earth" of their making. The New Age encompasses every facet of human existence.For me it's a counterfeit of something grand and wonderful which was intended from the beginning, but was put on hold until the questions raised in the Garden of Eden could be answered in a test of every conceivable alternative to that arrangement. The evidence I have assembled indicates that the results of that test are in and that the Master Conspiracy will fail, indeed already has, but not because of any action on the part of any man, woman, group, organization, or movement, but by indirect acts of the Almighty God. It is not yet finished, and all who are in any way aligned with the conspiracy, intentionally or not, are in great and eminent danger. This system belongs to Satan and he is finished. His system is in the throes of death. There is not going to be a New World Order, and the attempt to bring it in is destroying the old, and that destruction is bringing on a process which cannot be controlled.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bobby’s work can be found at &lt;a href="http://www.congregator.net/"&gt;www.congregator.net&lt;/a&gt;.  He has been researching the New Age and multitudinous other subjects.  His work is easily approachable and in my opinion, invaluable. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This concludes my entry for all things “New Age”.  Despite nearly 6 months of distractions and problems, I can finally say—HERE IT IS.  What a relief.  My final entry in this series will be about banks and money.  As with every other subject to ponder, Banking and Finance are not what they seem.  Until we meet again:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The people I distrust most are those who want to improve our lives but have only one course of action.  - &lt;a href="http://www.quotationspage.com/quote/26262.html"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Frank Herbert&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7423543460591316703-5020709683985254366?l=sbalger.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sbalger.blogspot.com/feeds/5020709683985254366/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sbalger.blogspot.com/2009/07/five-essential-thoughts-part-four.html#comment-form' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7423543460591316703/posts/default/5020709683985254366'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7423543460591316703/posts/default/5020709683985254366'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sbalger.blogspot.com/2009/07/five-essential-thoughts-part-four.html' title='Five Essential Thoughts: Part Four'/><author><name>Sean</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11217023773440530400</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_P0-sAWjjcK0/SWE0DulhCAI/AAAAAAAAAAk/Yz3uw8bkamE/S220/bodogger.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_P0-sAWjjcK0/SmA6gt2Q0uI/AAAAAAAAADc/jgT409F6ABk/s72-c/NWbuddaah+copy.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7423543460591316703.post-4817528748477880135</id><published>2009-02-22T12:49:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-22T12:51:30.230-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Communitarian'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='personal'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fitty cent'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='book sale'/><title type='text'>Interlude:  The Three Day Book Sale</title><content type='html'>I’ve just returned from a 3 day book sale a few blocks from my house.  I’ve stopped in 3 times in the last two days, browsing all the titles and looking for things that appeal to me.  Despite 3 visits, I’ve only come away with 5 books—one of them a gift I plan to give. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I bought an old copy of Tom Sawyer ironically marked “Clemens”.  I picked up a couple of how too books:  one on framing, (something I’ve always wanted to do) and one on general arts and crafts.  The other two books were “&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Basic-Ideas-Alexander-Hamilton/dp/B000L265GK/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1235333714&amp;amp;sr=1-16"&gt;The Basic Ideas of Alexander Hamilton&lt;/a&gt;” and “&lt;a href="http://www.rbc.org/utmost/index.php"&gt;My Utmost for His Highest&lt;/a&gt;” by Oswald Chambers.  This last one is the gift.  I use this devotional book, but the writing is very old and hard to understand, so I bought this ‘updated’ version for my best friend &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/roughroller"&gt;Johnny&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I bought the Hamilton book hoping to find evidence for or against Mr. Hamilton being a &lt;a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=y1_R-rjdcb0C&amp;amp;pg=PA294&amp;amp;lpg=PA294&amp;amp;dq=alexander+hamilton+british+agent&amp;amp;source=bl&amp;amp;ots=TthzVgfoka&amp;amp;sig=65eaWpeHfq_kgCG8B2IRnSaiUr8&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;ei=LbOhSZOZFJ3gsAPwxO3VCQ&amp;amp;sa=X&amp;amp;oi=book_result&amp;amp;resnum=5&amp;amp;ct=result"&gt;secret agent&lt;/a&gt; of Great Brittan.  With the editor fawning over him in the introduction, it does not look like I’ll find much.  I might catch a slip up, if I “read between the lines”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was amazed at the nearly useless collection of “Non-fiction” books they had for sale.  Thousands of titles, all contradicting each other on identical subjects, (usually WWII or the USSR)—and all of them LIES!  Oh, and let’s not forget the JFK &lt;a href="http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/books.htm"&gt;assassination&lt;/a&gt; books.  They could have given over one whole table to JFK and half of the table would have been loaded down with proof or refutation of the conspiracy behind his death.  All garbage!  Do you think ONE of those books would mention that JFK was planning on eliminating the Federal Reserve System? And revamping or closing the CIA?  And that he refused to share nuclear technology with Israel?  &lt;a href="http://209.85.173.132/search?q=cache:lOGc9CmNYo0J:www.nogw.com/download/_07_who_killed_jfk.pdf+jfk%2Bfederal+reserve%2Bcia%2Bisrael+nuclear&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;ct=clnk&amp;amp;cd=10&amp;amp;gl=us"&gt;I’d bet not&lt;/a&gt;.  If I could, I’d ship the entire collection of books at that sale to my friend &lt;a href="http://nikiraapana.blogspot.com/"&gt;Niki&lt;/a&gt;.  She could pick out the few useful books and burn the rest for kindling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few of their books were truly disturbing to observe.  “&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Plan-Big-Ideas-America/dp/1586484125"&gt;The Plan&lt;/a&gt;” by Obama’s new chief of staff &lt;a href="http://www.bollyn.info/home/images/stories/Rahm_Emanuel_at_Obama_Inauguration.jpg"&gt;Rahm Emanuel&lt;/a&gt; was an outline for future communitarian governmental policies. Mr. Emanuel will have his chance to institute them now.  Yuck.  For those of you that don’t know, Emanuel’s father was a terrorist for Israel.  &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;amp;q=son+of+a+zionist+terrorist"&gt;Click Here&lt;/a&gt; for a clue. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A book titled “&lt;a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/Green-Politics%3a-The-Global-Promise-(1984)_W0QQitemZ250349951238QQcmdZViewItem"&gt;Green Politics&lt;/a&gt;” published in 1984, had a wonderful communitarian quote just inside the cover:  “We are neither left nor right, we are out front.”  Hows that grab you?  Six full years before their &lt;a href="http://blog.amitaietzioni.org/"&gt;guru&lt;/a&gt; founded the &lt;a href="http://www.gwu.edu/~ccps/"&gt;Communitarian Network&lt;/a&gt; and they were already “Out Front”. Funny how &lt;a href="http://nikiraapana.blogspot.com/2009/02/former-president-clinton-advocates-new.html"&gt;Niki’s recent blog&lt;/a&gt; on Bill Clinton’s new gun control agenda makes a similar quote.  Not left, not right: FORWARD.  Yeah right.  Dystopia—THIS WAY.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I searched for new age books.  The New Age Movement will be my next entry in the “&lt;a href="http://sbalger.blogspot.com/2009/01/five-essential-thoughts-to-ponder.html"&gt;Essential Thoughts&lt;/a&gt;” series.  Surprisingly I didn’t find many New Age books—unless you count “The Purpose Driven Life”.  I saw at least 5 copies of that in various places.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Random histories of the British Empire or of the Middle East intrigued me, but I could not bring myself to buy any.  Whitewashed history does not interest me much.  I hate having to read 600+ pages to glean 11 facts.  An overly helpful woman asked what I was looking for, and I was perturbed.  I told her, “things you can’t find anywhere”, and she persisted.  “Like what?” in her glossy salesperson voice… ugh.  “Like all the taboo books you and your associates have likely filtered out and have in a box somewhere.  Can you lead me to that box please?”  Well that is what I should have said anyway. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How do you look a stranger in the eye and tell them that you are looking for the few rare and priceless books that will reveal the truth about the coming one world &lt;a href="http://sovereignty.net/library/library-front.html"&gt;communitarian government&lt;/a&gt;?  The answer is:  You Don’t.  Instead you compromise.  You be polite.  …and in my case you leave a little irritated and walk to the Goodwill store where your overly-pregnant wife is waiting with 20 dollars worth of merchandise.  She’s just called you on the cell phone, and you have all the money. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later when I made my third trip to the book sale, I avoided that same lady, as she tried to pitch some poor girl with her “let me help you find some books” banter.  Somehow the entire venture was deflating for me.  I came closer to finding and buying books when I was at the Goodwill.  But I didn’t buy any there either.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We did buy a beautiful little teddy bear wearing a dress and sewn on shoes.  My wife was asking the girl at the counter about the price …and like some mumbling mongoloid, this girl stammered “fitty cent”, and when my wife said, “what?”, it was still “FITTY CENT.”  In a whispered aside, my wife reminded me to be nice, and we made it out the door with no confrontation.  Both of us are famous for attacking clerks for their lack of professionalism.  I guess we have the same pet peeve.  Laughing and talking about “people these days”, we decided that “Fitty Cent” was a great name for the teddy bear.  So Fitty Cent it is, and Fitty Cent it was and Fitty Cent it will always be. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I may add one more interlude before we get around to Part Four of Essential Thoughts.  I have a story about how I quit smoking, and it always seems to get a laugh, so I  it takes a while to give an overview of the New Age Movement, I’ll write up my smoking story…  A true inspiration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until then—keep on reading!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7423543460591316703-4817528748477880135?l=sbalger.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sbalger.blogspot.com/feeds/4817528748477880135/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sbalger.blogspot.com/2009/02/interlude-three-day-book-sale.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7423543460591316703/posts/default/4817528748477880135'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7423543460591316703/posts/default/4817528748477880135'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sbalger.blogspot.com/2009/02/interlude-three-day-book-sale.html' title='Interlude:  The Three Day Book Sale'/><author><name>Sean</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11217023773440530400</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_P0-sAWjjcK0/SWE0DulhCAI/AAAAAAAAAAk/Yz3uw8bkamE/S220/bodogger.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7423543460591316703.post-9193550622797024050</id><published>2009-02-13T08:59:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-16T07:31:38.859-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Secret Societies'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mystery Babylon'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='British Israel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Deception'/><title type='text'>Five Essential Thoughts: part 3.</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_P0-sAWjjcK0/SZhLmhOSW9I/AAAAAAAAADU/u1jFKyYpX0w/s1600-h/transformed+copy.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303071686354164690" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 336px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_P0-sAWjjcK0/SZhLmhOSW9I/AAAAAAAAADU/u1jFKyYpX0w/s400/transformed+copy.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_P0-sAWjjcK0/SZWpXtLZ-II/AAAAAAAAADM/9-mxBENmzvQ/s1600-h/transformed+copy.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;MYSTERY BABYLON&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The third subject in my “&lt;a href="http://sbalger.blogspot.com/2009/01/five-essential-thoughts-to-ponder.html"&gt;Essential Thoughts&lt;/a&gt;” series is Mystery Babylon. I first was introduced to the term Mystery Babylon while reading the last book of the Bible. Revelation. Revelation is dark, confusing and one of the most argued over books in the Bible. I think it can be safely called the most controversial book on earth. I’m open to suggestions on books that rival Revelation for controversy. Revelation chapters 17 and 18 deal with the symbolic images of a woman riding a beast with many heads. Revelation 17, verse 5 &lt;a href="http://bible.cc/revelation/17-5.htm"&gt;says&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;And upon her forehead was a name written,&lt;br /&gt;MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT,&lt;br /&gt;THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS&lt;br /&gt;AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here we immediately see the deception in using the words “Mystery Babylon” together. The words are regularly referenced together as such. In this Bible quotation, the word mystery (more accurately translated-“secret”) is separated from “Babylon the Great” by a comma. What the scripture appears to be telling us is that there is a (symbolic) woman who is secretly the mother of prostitution and uncleanness in the earth. The common argument is whether this woman represents a city, a church, a country, or a combination of all of them. I do not offer you an answer based on my opinion nor do I claim to “prove” that I’ve discovered the ultimate truth of these scriptures. Everything I offer here is for the benefit of the reader’s personal studies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;In a Google search for &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;amp;rlz=1G1GGLQ_ENUS274&amp;amp;q=%22MYSTERY+BABYLON%22&amp;amp;btnG=Search"&gt;“MYSTERY BABYLON”&lt;/a&gt; the top few results are interesting. The first link is a site that claims to prove that the &lt;a href="http://www.mystery-babylon.net/index.html"&gt;Catholic Church&lt;/a&gt; is the “Mystery Babylon” of Revelation. The second link attempts to connect “Mystery Babylon” with New York City and the &lt;a href="http://www.goroadachi.com/etemenanki/mystery-babylon.htm"&gt;9/11&lt;/a&gt; attacks. The third link is a compilation of radio broadcasts made by famous shortwave radio host &lt;a href="http://oneheartbooks.com/resources/audios/cooper_mystery_babylon.htm"&gt;Milton William Cooper&lt;/a&gt;. This last link is the one I consider most valuable. Bill Cooper investigates all of the secret societies and ancient religions, starting from the beginning of time. He tracks then nearly up to the present in his “Mystery Babylon” series. The link provided here appears to have all of the episodes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Continuing down the list of Google links, we find that various arguments are made, with each claiming to identify “Mystery Babylon”. One claims she could be &lt;a href="http://watch.pair.com/mystery-babylon.html"&gt;Catholic or Jewish&lt;/a&gt;, a number of links claim that &lt;a href="http://www.escapeallthesethings.com/america-mystery-babylon-great.htm"&gt;America&lt;/a&gt; is Mystery Babylon. Some claim it is a church, some claim it is a system of beliefs within numerous churches or governments, while yet others claim it is the “New Age” or “&lt;a href="http://www.thepropheticyears.com/reasons/The%20rise%20of%20paganism.HTM"&gt;neo-paganism&lt;/a&gt;”… and the debate rages on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;So far, this subject has given me the most trouble in writing and researching. Communitarianism and Zionism were easy to summarize by contrast. How can I explain why I think “Mystery Babylon” is important, if it cannot be defined?&lt;br /&gt;First, let me say that I do not believe that ANY of the links or search results gives us a useable &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;amp;rlz=1G1GGLQ_ENUS274&amp;amp;q=%22MYSTERY+BABYLON%22+def"&gt;definition&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;William Cooper’s series comes closest to defining “Mystery Babylon”—but his definition is 46 episodes long! If you are unfamiliar with the rituals of ancient sun worship and how they relate to secret societies and current political and religious events, Cooper’s series is essential.&lt;br /&gt;Going further, we find sites that claim “Mystery Babylon” is the city of &lt;a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?Seven--Clues-To-Mystery-Babylon-in-Revelation&amp;amp;id=183188"&gt;Jerusalem&lt;/a&gt;. It is easy to overlook the significance of Jerusalem in world history. The argument can be made that Jerusalem has been the &lt;a href="http://www.issuesinperspective.com/2006/May/06may06-07_1.cfm"&gt;most influential&lt;/a&gt; city on earth at different times. Has it? A more important question would be who controls Jerusalem. Even more important—what are the &lt;a href="http://www.abidemiracles.com/555701.htm"&gt;future plans&lt;/a&gt; for Jerusalem?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;If we could establish what or who controls Jerusalem, or who &lt;a href="http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/93699"&gt;wants to control&lt;/a&gt; Jerusalem, we might be getting closer to solving the secret of Babylon the Great. If we could prove that the &lt;a href="http://www.topix.com/forum/world/gibraltar/T5I0SMFCN1QU7T1H9"&gt;identical power&lt;/a&gt; controls Israel, the United States, Canada, China and &lt;a href="http://www.topix.com/forum/world/canada/TA53UCJ9TE8D0TPSR"&gt;hundreds&lt;/a&gt; of other countries, we would be damned close to identifying Babylon the Great.&lt;br /&gt;The suggestion that “Mystery Babylon” is actually &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;rlz=&amp;amp;q=british+israel&amp;amp;aq=f"&gt;British-Israel&lt;/a&gt; is a rare one. British-Israel philosophy is based on the false idea that the British Royals are the true descendents of ancient Israel and therefore they have the right to rule the earth according to &lt;a href="http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/34087"&gt;bloodline&lt;/a&gt; and prophecy.&lt;br /&gt;With long hours and specific searches, you can fish out the &lt;a href="http://www.congregator.net/ebooks/union-jack/union-jack-toc.htm"&gt;links&lt;/a&gt; that explain the possible roll of British-Israel in the world. Other names for this obscure movement are Anglo-Israel, &lt;a href="http://www.cryaloud.com/christian_identity_british_israel.htm"&gt;Christian Identity&lt;/a&gt; and “&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;amp;rlz=1G1GGLQ_ENUS274&amp;amp;q=%22vigorous+protestants%22"&gt;The Vigorous Protestants&lt;/a&gt;” among others. It is interesting to note that British Israel believes in Zionism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Summarizing “Mystery Babylon” at this point becomes a nightmare for the writer/researcher. Let us try:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mystery Babylon is a symbolic woman on a multi-headed beast who represents a city, a church, a nation, or a spiritual ideology, or all of the above, (or possibly only parts of each.) She could be Catholic, Jewish, British, American, Iraqi, or of unknown origin, and she is the mother of fornication and abominations in the earth. We know that Ancient Babylon was famous for its hedonist paganism and therefore Mystery Babylon carries with her the spirit of neo-paganism, or of the New Age, and she represents the high priestess/goddess of the Mystery Schools and Secret Societies i.e. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Fre&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.freemasonrywatch.org/1index.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;e&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;masonry, Ro&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sacred-texts.com/eso/sta/sta33.htm"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;sic&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;rucians, The Pil&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://search.freefind.com/find.html?id=94614382&amp;amp;pageid=r&amp;amp;mode=ALL&amp;amp;t=s&amp;amp;_charset_=iso-8859-1&amp;amp;bcd=%F7&amp;amp;query=pilgrims"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;grim&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;’s Society, B’nai &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.apfn.org/thewinds/1998/09/bnai_brith.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;B&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;’rith, Scient&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.xenu.net/archive/CourtFiles/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;olo&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;gy, Knigh&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://moversandshakersofthesmom.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;t&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;s of Malta, the Je&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.vaticanassassins.org/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;su&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;its, etcetera etcetera ad infinitum.&lt;br /&gt;Her influence is of the devil. Her tactics and goals are well hidden. They are enigmas within enigmas. She uses &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://nord.twu.net/acl/dialectic.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;dialectical&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt; devices to further her deceptions and ensure her disguises. Her goal is complete control of the world and the eradication of God himself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;An expert at lies and &lt;a href="http://www.congregator.net/articles/tools.html"&gt;deception&lt;/a&gt; will always be ahead of the game. Knowing the truth will eventually come out; the liar will craft careful plans to sidetrack the “truth seeker”. According to this logic, the promotion of ANY of the above mentioned theories on Mystery Babylon could lead to deception. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;For example: If one side claims it is the Catholic Church and the other side claims &lt;a href="http://www.goodnewsaboutgod.com/studies/spiritual/revelations/revelation_17.htm"&gt;it is Zionism&lt;/a&gt;, it is possible that the REAL Mystery Babylon has maneuvered these pawns into place so they can be blamed and accused, creating distractions and disagreements and thereby shielding the truly abominable harlot from her blame. &lt;a href="http://www.artofwarsuntzu.com/Art%20of%20War%20PDF.pdf"&gt;Controlling all opposition&lt;/a&gt; to is an ancient concept.&lt;br /&gt;If you have not studied the &lt;a href="http://www.congregator.net/pages/dialectic.html"&gt;Hegelian Dialectic&lt;/a&gt;—you are a victim of it. The philosopher Hegel explained his ideas on how to manipulate the masses and “synthesize” a desired effect. By creating a problem, anticipating the reaction, and then providing a solution you can “synthesize” a desired result. This is Hegel’s dialectic in its most base form.&lt;br /&gt;Think of it like this: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;You own 10 houses. An infamous mobster in your town comes and offers to insure each of your houses for 100 dollars a month. You politely refuse. That next week, 3 of your 10 houses burn down. The mobster then returns and makes a new offer. He’ll insure your 7 remaining houses for 200 dollars each per month. After very little thought, you take him up on the offer. You’ve just become a victim of the Hegelian Dialectic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;The reason I suggest the study of the dialectical process is this: Whatever “Mystery Babylon” is, it moves forward using the dialectic. It plans problems, anticipates reactions from the masses, and has its &lt;a href="http://www.sovereignty.net/p/sd/agenda21rpt.htg/a21chart2.jpg"&gt;solutions&lt;/a&gt; ready.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;What you are NOT likely to find in studying the dialectic is its fourth phase, called &lt;a href="http://www.congregator.net/articles/dialectic-tetrad.htm"&gt;TRANSCENDENCE&lt;/a&gt;. This is portion is almost never mentioned, but was unearthed by a studious researched named &lt;a href="http://apps.congregator.net/Blog/User/UserProfile/"&gt;Bobby Garner&lt;/a&gt;. The gist of dialectical transcendence is this: once sufficient amounts of synthesis have been created, you reach a final synthesis. The Transcendence. The transcendence is the process of starting a whole &lt;a href="http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/externalisation/contents.html"&gt;new age&lt;/a&gt;. A new game. A “New World Order”. “The Age of Aquarius”… and so on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;We would all do well to study the plans of those who claim to be “&lt;a href="http://www.radioliberty.com/stones.htm"&gt;elite&lt;/a&gt;”. Understanding the desires of men who seek Utopia at &lt;a href="http://thefinaledition.net/2008/01/27/eugenics-and-depopulation-plans-21st-century/"&gt;any cost&lt;/a&gt; will help the reader to predict the future before it happens. This allows us to become physically and spiritually prepared. Many believe there is an ongoing battle between good and evil—Between God and the Secret of Babylon the Great. I confess that I believe this battle is real, and I believe that the Victory is in understanding the words of &lt;a href="http://fairfaxshepherdsheart.org/image/TruthWillSetYouFree.JPG"&gt;Jesus Christ&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7423543460591316703-9193550622797024050?l=sbalger.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sbalger.blogspot.com/feeds/9193550622797024050/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sbalger.blogspot.com/2009/02/five-essential-thoughts-part-3.html#comment-form' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7423543460591316703/posts/default/9193550622797024050'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7423543460591316703/posts/default/9193550622797024050'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sbalger.blogspot.com/2009/02/five-essential-thoughts-part-3.html' title='Five Essential Thoughts: part 3.'/><author><name>Sean</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11217023773440530400</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_P0-sAWjjcK0/SWE0DulhCAI/AAAAAAAAAAk/Yz3uw8bkamE/S220/bodogger.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_P0-sAWjjcK0/SZhLmhOSW9I/AAAAAAAAADU/u1jFKyYpX0w/s72-c/transformed+copy.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7423543460591316703.post-5297426732083367067</id><published>2009-01-26T00:18:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-26T00:21:58.238-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Five Essentials Thoughts: Part 2.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_P0-sAWjjcK0/SX1yf7HlvQI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlyNIvLSzTE/s1600-h/untitled.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295514629628607746" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_P0-sAWjjcK0/SX1yf7HlvQI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlyNIvLSzTE/s320/untitled.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Modern Zionism&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I chose the Modern (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.zionism-israel.com/zionism_definitions.htm"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;political&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;) Zionist Movement as my second entry because it is mostly unknown, highly controversial and insulated from being examined because it is considered &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/taboo"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;taboo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; to be critical of Jews.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Starting in the middle 1800’s with &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.jafi.org.il/education/100/people/BIOS/hess.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Moses Hess&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;, the idea of a national home for Jews re-appeared. The debate existed in ancient times, as a religious disagreement within the tribal nation of Israel: God had exiled the Jews for their lack of obedience. Some Israelites had a desire to re-occupy their tribal lands, in contradiction of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Kings%2017:18-23;&amp;amp;version=31;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;God’s mandate&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The modern Zionist Movement, beginning with Moses Hess (and comically with &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Henry-Wentworth-Monk"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Henry Wentworth Monk&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;,) eventually flowered into a powerful political ideology. The &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_Question"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;“problem”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; of Jews failing to assimilate into the countries and cultures they lived in created a need for a “National Jewish Homeland” in the minds of some elitist intellectuals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodore_Herzl"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Theodor Herzl&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; is typically given credit for fathering the idea of a “Secular Jewish State”. His most famous work concerning Zionism is his book “The Jewish State” written in 1896. By 1897 Herzl had called the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Zionism/First_Cong_&amp;amp;_Basel_Program.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;First Zionist Congress&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;. Despite some bickering over the location, Herzl was finally able to establish Basel Switzerland as the meeting place. The World Zionist Organization was born, and their agreed goal was to have a Jewish state. Zionism has remained a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DM9OIqy6md9w"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;controversial subject&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; within the Jewish community since its re-emergence in the middle 1800’s.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The true goal of Modern Zionism was the establishment of the Jewish State of Israel. This goal was accomplished on &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;May 14, 1948&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; when the United Nations declared two separate states to exist in those hotly debated Middle Eastern territories: namely Israel and Palestine. U.S. President &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://video.google.com/videosearch?source=ig&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;rlz=1G1GGLQ_ENUS274&amp;amp;q=truman%20recognition%20of%20israel&amp;amp;um=1&amp;amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;amp;sa=N&amp;amp;tab=wv"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Harry Truman&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; immediately acknowledged Israel, making the United States the first to recognize Israel as a country. Palestine has never been recognized as a country—thus the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://palestinethinktank.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;problems&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; of the Middle East continue to this day. Technically, Zionism today is support for the state of Israel. True political Zionism accomplished its goal in 1948 when Israel fought its “&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/war/israel-inde.htm"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;War of Independence&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the little known &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=MbxWo13405gC&amp;amp;pg=PA200&amp;amp;lpg=PA200&amp;amp;dq=hagana+car+bomb&amp;amp;source=bl&amp;amp;ots=67oG-PbdBS&amp;amp;sig=xXSyYkiSj1LuOL6RUtrmFKn7Fmg&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;sa=X&amp;amp;oi=book_result&amp;amp;resnum=2&amp;amp;ct=result#PPA200,M1"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;truth about the Zionist movement&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;—they used terrorism and intrigue to establish their foothold in the Middle East. It was the Jews who introduced explosives to the Arabs (read the last link carefully). The &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://polizeros.com/2007/05/01/buda%E2%80%99s-wagon-a-brief-history-of-the-car-bomb/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;car bomb&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; was a tool first used by Militant Zionist groups like the Hagana, The Stern Gang (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=0-WsDRJQCO4C&amp;amp;pg=RA1-PA128&amp;amp;lpg=RA1-PA128&amp;amp;dq=stern+gang+and+lehi+same+thing%3F&amp;amp;source=web&amp;amp;ots=toRytC0RNB&amp;amp;sig=AGg4R_eNFyIaS0Z8gtXSCscAuoc&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;sa=X&amp;amp;oi=book_result&amp;amp;resnum=2&amp;amp;ct=result#PPP1,M1"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Lehi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;), the Irgun and the less widely known &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.palmach.org.il/show_item.asp?itemId=8096&amp;amp;levelId=42798&amp;amp;itemType=0"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Palmach&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;. The most notable Zionist Terrorist attacks were the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mideastweb.org/lavon.htm"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Lavon Affair&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; (known in Israel as the shameful affair) and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.britains-smallwars.com/Palestine/Kingdavid.htm"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;the King David Hotel Bombing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both of these attacks were carried out with Jewish Militants posing as Arabs. Placing the blame for the bombings on Arabs would strengthen the position of the Militant Zionists and garner support. Zionism has a long history of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://judicial-inc.biz/False_Flags_summary.htm"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;False Flag Terrorism&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;, with some people speculating that they were responsible for the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bollyn.com/index/?id=10095"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;9/11 attacks&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The effects of Zionism touch each part of society. Zionism has a huge influence on &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3252642434022358005"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;politics&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;. Amazingly—it is mostly hidden in the United States. Media sources and politicos take the United States’ support for Israel for granted. We were first in recognizing Israel, and we remain first in supporting her: in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&amp;amp;q=us+presidents+aipac&amp;amp;gbv=2"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;word and in deed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The most startling reality, in my opinion, is the massive support for Zionism outside of the Jewish community. The &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amconmag.com/article/2007/aug/27/00018/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Christian Zionists&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; support Israel financially (with regular donations), politically (with sermons of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://thinkprogress.org/2008/07/22/robertson-israel/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;military solidarity&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;), and spiritually with prayers and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://whtt.org/show/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;special&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; interpretations of scripture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The support for Israel in the mainstream media and entertainment industry is startling. If you want information that is &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.linktv.org/mosaic/broadcasters/israel"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;less biased&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;, you will have to rely on the international press. Even the international press is slanted in Israel’s favor, but they are willing to criticize—something the U.S. mainstream media is rarely capable of. While Arabs are regularly painted as terrorists in the news, movies and on television, the role of any Jew, (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0960144/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;especially an Israeli&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;), as a terrorist, or a criminal is all but &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.abbc.net/islam/english/toread/hollyjew.htm"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;missing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; from their scripts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My continued studies of world events have led me to many shocking subjects. But none shocked more than to learn that Modern Political Zionism had such an enormous influence in the world. I had never heard of it. It was never mentioned in school, and when I became a student of Zionism, I was immediately labeled as a racist, bigoted, Jew-hating &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_antisemitism"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;anti-Semite&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;. Being I had known only two Jewish friends in my life, I was shocked to find that I allegedly hated them so much—and I didn’t even&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.adl.org/main_Anti_Semitism_International/Irrational_Disease.htm"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; know&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Usually prejudice stems from a repeated string of personal experiences. I know an old man who used to own a chain of ice cream parlors. He was repeatedly robbed, mugged and beaten by various black men who had moved into the neighborhood. To this day he is prejudice against blacks. Although I disagree with his prejudice, I understand it. He is gun shy based on his extremely negative past experience. For people to claim that I was now “anti-Semitic”, simply because I had begun to study &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Zionism/wzo.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;World Zionism&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; and found a TON of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ixquick.com/do/metasearch.pl"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;conflicting&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; and negative information, was shocking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have tried to see the&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Case-Israel-Alan-Dershowitz/dp/047146502X"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; positive&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; side of the Zionist movement, but it just does not work for me. I sympathize with the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ifamericansknew.org/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Palestinians&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; when the Israeli Defense Forces use machine guns, tanks and grenades to respond to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.silviacattori.net/IMG/jpg/Les_enfants_victimes.texte.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;kids&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; throwing rocks and the occasional rocket fire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lastly I must say that I think that the Jewish people have &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://zionism-realenemyofthejews.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;suffered&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; from Zionism the most. Many Jews were staunchly &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wrmea.org/archives/December_2008/0812054.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;anti-Zionist&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; from the beginning. Many more still are today. In retrospect, the idea that a strictly Jewish state can be established in the middle of a bunch of Arab and Muslim countries is absurd. Jews who have been &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.the7thfire.com/new_world_order/zionism/american_jew_in_racist_marxist_israel.htm"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;fooled into moving to Israel,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; to live in fear of Arab attacks, are suffering needlessly. Zionist ideology is to blame.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I bought a book called “&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/ciu/e0/75/92f7e893e7a0af26054cf010._AA240_.L.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;God Cried&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;” for ten dollars on the internet. Written by Tony Clifton with photographs by Catherine Leroy, the book describes the invasion of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wakeupfromyourslumber.com/node/4829"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Lebanon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; by the Israelis in 1982. Similar to the invasions of Gaza that have &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;rlz=1G1GGLQ_ENUS274&amp;amp;q=israel+bombed+school+hospital+&amp;amp;aq=f"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;happened recently&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;, the Israeli’s bombed schools and hospitals in Lebanon. They machine gunned innocents and rocketed ambulances—all in the name of Zionism. Mr. Tony Clifton makes a terrific observation near the end of his writing in “God Cried”. He describes his feelings while visiting the ruins of a place called Masada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The story of Masada goes like this: In ancient times the Romans had conquered everything except a small fortified plateau in Israel called Masada. It was held by a group of warrior Jews. Having supplies and excellent defense because of their location, the Jews held out and were not overcome by the Romans for a long period of time. The Romans, being patient and having their own resources, built an enormous &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/10/Masada_Roman_Ramp_by_David_Shankbone.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;earthen ramp&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; up to the fortifications of Masada. (This was a common Roman tactic.) To make a long story short, when the Romans finally got inside, the Jews had all committed suicide to avoid being overcome by their captors. Ironically the entire story has been proven to be myth, by a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://books.google.com/books?hl=en&amp;amp;id=YoXUXvBUUjgC&amp;amp;dq=masada+myth&amp;amp;printsec=frontcover&amp;amp;source=web&amp;amp;ots=gmP7ZKIpn-&amp;amp;sig=YmAwkjWLkjRllsTSuhuaO6aILHk&amp;amp;sa=X&amp;amp;oi=book_result&amp;amp;resnum=4&amp;amp;ct=result"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Jewish archeologist&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tony Clifton’s observation, as he was writing his memories of Masada, was that he thought the Arab nations would eventually do just what the Romans had done. In time they would build their ramp of solidarity against the State of Israel, and one day their cohesion would reach the point of strength, and they would conquer the Jewish state.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’m not sure if I agree with Tony on this point, but it is a gruesome possibility. I personally believe that Israel and Zionism have been &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.threeworldwars.com/albert-pike2.htm#3ww"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;intentionally set up&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; for defeat at some time in the future. A &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://nord.twu.net/acl/dialectic.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;dialectical&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; process: Create a problem, observe the reaction, and supply a solution. My next entry in this series will delve into the dialectic more so—confronting the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e36/DrKearse/nwoorganizationchartinveted-1.gif"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;groups and peoples&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; who allow it to work effectively—whether they realize it or &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/7006/psychopolitics.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;not…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7423543460591316703-5297426732083367067?l=sbalger.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sbalger.blogspot.com/feeds/5297426732083367067/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sbalger.blogspot.com/2009/01/five-essentials-thoughts-part-2.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7423543460591316703/posts/default/5297426732083367067'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7423543460591316703/posts/default/5297426732083367067'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sbalger.blogspot.com/2009/01/five-essentials-thoughts-part-2.html' title='Five Essentials Thoughts: Part 2.'/><author><name>Sean</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11217023773440530400</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_P0-sAWjjcK0/SWE0DulhCAI/AAAAAAAAAAk/Yz3uw8bkamE/S220/bodogger.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_P0-sAWjjcK0/SX1yf7HlvQI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlyNIvLSzTE/s72-c/untitled.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7423543460591316703.post-7592728890336112762</id><published>2009-01-18T22:55:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-19T00:44:56.783-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Communitarian'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Local Agenda 21'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Amitai Etzioni'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Supra National Government'/><title type='text'>Five Essential Thoughts to Ponder</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Each of the subjects I touch on in these next five posts will be highlighted with a piece of my photo shop art—just for fun—and to break up the monotony. The order in which these topics are placed is significant. I will list them according to how important I think they are. How truly important these things are is impossible to discern. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292895568367303730" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 359px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 204px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_P0-sAWjjcK0/SXQkefnFvDI/AAAAAAAAABU/KONqV3fTnKI/s320/sexcrime2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Number One:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://nord.twu.net/acl/index.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Communitarianism&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; This is first on my list because most people have never heard of it. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Communitarianism&lt;/span&gt; is a hard word to say. It is also hard to spell and difficult to remember. The official &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/communitarian"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;definition&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; is, &lt;em&gt;“of or relating to social organization in small cooperative partially collectivist communities.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A condensed description of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.gwu.edu/~ccps/about_us.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Communitarian goals&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; would be, &lt;em&gt;“The balancing of individual rights against the needs of the [global] community.”&lt;/em&gt; I see a major problem with balancing or &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ballot.com/hotwire/8096-u-s-eu-agree-harmonize-regulatory.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;“harmonizing”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; individual rights versus community “responsibilities”. When the rights of the individual are limited with laws, “administrative policies”, or &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://marketplace.publicradio.org/display/web/2009/01/06/pm_environmental_peer_pressure/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;professional peer pressure&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;, the concept of personal freedom suffers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nord.twu.net/acl/etzioni"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Amitai&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Ezioni&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;, the guru of the Communitarian Network and advisor to various presidents thinks that we have &lt;em&gt;“focused on the &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://209.85.173.132/search?q=cache:S2HytEj057oJ:amitaietzioni.org/documents/B231.pdf+etzioni+%22focus+on+individual%22&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;ct=clnk&amp;amp;cd=22&amp;amp;gl=us"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;rights of the individual&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;em&gt; for too long…”&lt;/em&gt; I &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;couldn't&lt;/span&gt; disagree with him more. From restrictive Home Owner Associations to thousands of useless tax laws--&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;the individual’s ability to live a private life (with private belongings) has been whittled away for decades.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://nord.twu.net/acl/agenda21.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Local Agenda 21&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; is a comprehensive policy set up by the United Nations. It was presented at the1992 Rio Summit. LA 21 outlines their plan for every community in the world to be managed under similar guidelines. They focus on Environmentalism, “Sustainable Development” or “Smart Growth” and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;amp;rlz=1G1GGLQ_ENUS274&amp;amp;sa=X&amp;amp;oi=spell&amp;amp;resnum=0&amp;amp;ct=result&amp;amp;cd=1&amp;amp;q=Economics+and+Local+Agenda+21&amp;amp;spell=1"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;“Economics”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; and so on. All of the countries of the world are either signed up to participate, or they are being peer pressured into signing up. If you haven’t heard the terms: “Green”, “Smart Growth”, or “Sustainable” buzzing in your ear lately… You’re either not listening, or you are a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.scoopit.co.nz/story.php?title=70-year-old-Wellington-man-lives-in-cave-1"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;hermit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The goals of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Communitarianism&lt;/span&gt; are presented so that they &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;always&lt;/span&gt; &lt;em&gt;sound&lt;/em&gt; GREAT. Imagine! Well organized communities with people working together efficiently.  Everyone trained or &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.buzzdash.com/polls/you-expect-obamas-call-for-community-service-on-mlk-day-to-be-143850/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;designated&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; to manage everything in a “Sustainable” fashion… and always with a focus on what is best for “&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.propertyrightsresearch.org/articles2/wildlands_project_and_un_convent.htm"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Mother Earth&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;”. If you disagree with their agenda,you obviously  want to live in a poorly organized community where no one works together. Nothing is managed properly and therefore it cannot be sustained. Selfish individuals are ignorant of the needs of “Mother Earth” ...or they just don’t care. The individuals only care about themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Often people mistake &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;Communitarianism&lt;/span&gt; for Communism. This is a false conclusion. Various other titles describe communitarian values. Maybe you’&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;ve&lt;/span&gt; heard them: The Third Way, The Radical Middle, “Non-partisans”, “Centrists” &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;etcetera&lt;/span&gt;. (Both Obama and McCain represent Communitarian Ideals.) These separate titles exist for the “Communitarian Platform” because it identifies their goals AWAY from the goals of the “Liberals” or “Conservatives”. Third Way politics are the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://nord.twu.net/acl/dialectic.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;SYNTHESIS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; of the left and right. The radical middle claims to combine the best of the “socialist leftists” and “ultra-capitalist conservatives”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;Communitarianism&lt;/span&gt; is not Communism because Communism focuses only on the power of the “state” and obliterates the existence of the individual.  Within Communism, if you are not working for the interests of the “state”, then you &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/3120395/Russian-rap-video-soldier-sent-to-Siberia.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;cease to exist&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;Communitarians&lt;/span&gt; claim to balance the individual’s rights against the needs of “community”. What they don’t tell you is that their work involving &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://nikiraapana.blogspot.com/2009/01/how-communitarians-change-us-legal.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;administrative laws&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; and “regulations” is laying the foundations for a supra-national (world wide) legal structure. I placed &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;Communitarianism&lt;/span&gt; at the top of this list because the goals of this movement are REAL and they are slowly being accomplished in EVERY community in the world: From the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.kpkt.gov.my/jkt/la21/pix_la21/la21/bi/img3.gif"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Bottom Up&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;.

I did. If you compare the photo here, to the one in my blogger profile, you'll see a drastic change.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I was gonna use "strikethrough" to scratch out "almost", in the title.

I'm excited to have another baby girl, and now she won't be able to rip my hair out when I'm holding her! I've gotten nothing but compliments today. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I can still play "I almost cut my hair" on the guitar.

I'm still the same Sean. Highly independent and argumentative towards  most generally accepted information. I'm just approachable now. WWII Veterans can talk to me in line at the grocery store without feeling uncomfortable... and all the College girls can take take a second look because they are interested, not disgusted. They just shouldn't do it when I'm with my wife! &lt;strong&gt;[bigger smile]&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Look for more from me this week.

Good luck in your &lt;br /&gt;search.&amp;nbsp; Once someone can find a genuine American patriot like Peter Kawaja or &lt;br /&gt;Niki Raapana, it becomes easy to recognize the others as PUPPETS.&amp;nbsp; They cannot &lt;br /&gt;make&lt;a href="http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/JFKwebbG.htm"&gt; EVERY&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;person attempting to tell the truth into a puppet.&amp;nbsp; I consider Niki an example &lt;br /&gt;of what the 3rd rank media whores would call a &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZBjtYkl0vE"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;DEMON &lt;br /&gt;POSSESSED PINOCCHIO.&amp;nbsp;

But she just shrugs it off and walks away.&amp;nbsp; She's a person.&amp;nbsp; Not a &lt;br /&gt;puppet.&amp;nbsp; I believe the same can be said for Linda Kennedy.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Kennedy has exposed &lt;br /&gt;Joyce Riley and Dave Von Kliest as&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;rlz=1G1GGLQ_ENUS274&amp;q=Hanoi+Joyce+Riley+and+Demonic+Dave+Von+Kleist+&amp;btnG=Search"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;disinformation artists.&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; Her radio broadcasts that teach disinformation &lt;br /&gt;strategies and explain HOW to look at current events are invaluable.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="Verdana"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.congregator.net/"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Bobby Garner&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;, Peter Kawaja, Niki &lt;br /&gt;Raapana and Linda Kennedy are all excellent examples of what appear to be honest &lt;br /&gt;people attempting to teach others about information they have discovered.&amp;nbsp; I say &lt;br /&gt;they appear to be honest, because NO ONE should accept information that they &lt;br /&gt;have not researched for themselves.&amp;nbsp; People are&lt;a href="http://www.answers.com/topic/edward-bernays"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;tricked &lt;/a&gt;easily.&amp;nbsp; Most people want a ‘leader’.&amp;nbsp; Each of us can be fastened to &lt;br /&gt;our puppet strings, and be made to dance; if we simply follow the&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://donate.barackobama.com/page/contribute/dnc08splashnd"&gt;false&lt;/a&gt;

I've gone and gotten myself involved in some meaningless debate about Zionism and anti-&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;semitism&lt;/span&gt; on the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Internet&lt;/span&gt;. I guess I'll never learn. After hearing that my friend Niki &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Raapana&lt;/span&gt; would be on yet another &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Internet&lt;/span&gt; broadcast, and this time with a woman who was an expert on the "New Age" movement and a lawyer, I WAS EXCITED. Finally! A chance to hear some dialogue that was more in depth. Niki has been on many radio shows, but each one is limited mostly to the most basic information about &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Communitarianism&lt;/span&gt;. The better hosts have at least given Niki the chance to explain who &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Amitai&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;Etzioni&lt;/span&gt; is. &lt;a href="http://nord.twu.net/acl/etzioni.html"&gt;(real name: Werner &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;Falk&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;In a true anti-climax, I never did hear the interviews between Niki and Constance. The broadcasting site that Mrs. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;Cumbey&lt;/span&gt; uses would like 20 of my INFLATED Federal Reserve Notes for one months use of their archive. I decline to waste my money on &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;something&lt;/span&gt; that I cannot judge the quality on before I buy it. My only other option was to tune in at the precise time when the show was "streaming" online. Unfortunately this was also the exact time I would be getting off work. Even if I rushed home and tried to tune in: my family requires my immediate attention when I walk in the door.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;To make a long story short, I ended up reading the comments concerning Niki's interviews on Constance &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;Cumbey's&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://cumbey.blogspot.com/"&gt;BLOG.&lt;/a&gt; They never really discussed Niki's positions on &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;Communitarianism&lt;/span&gt;, and a number of posters decided to attack Niki. The situation only got worse. Constance stopped by occasionally to comment, but mostly remained &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;neutral&lt;/span&gt; as her "followers" attacked my friend! I was becoming irritated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At that point I had resisted defending Niki. Luckily, she had decided to leave Constance's blog &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;all together&lt;/span&gt; before I decided to jump in and comment. The thing that finally encouraged me to comment on the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;Cumbey&lt;/span&gt; blog was the accusation that Bobby Garner's views were some how anti-&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"&gt;semitism&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To make this short story even shorter, I jumped into the discourse, demanded that Constance define anti-&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16"&gt;semitism&lt;/span&gt; and explain what views of Bobby's she thought fit the bill. You'll have to go read the &lt;a href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11772087&amp;amp;postID=3738529748485417863"&gt;comments &lt;/a&gt;section for yourself. Constance never did answer my questions. Instead she accused me of stirring up trouble, invited me to leave, and after I left, accused me of worshiping the anti-c&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17"&gt;hrist&lt;/span&gt;. I guess that is a typical woman lawyer for ya. &lt;img alt="Just Kidding!" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/282/1661/400/Cumbeyglossy1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm always amazed at the knee jerk reaction you get from people for apposing anything that could possibly be associated with Jews. The most dangerous and active Zionists on earth are Christians. They are full of spite and fire for the state of Israel. Of course they don't really know anything about the state of Israel. Even the ones who have been there have likely traveled on manicured tours-being spoon fed &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18"&gt;propaganda&lt;/span&gt;-having paid top dollar for the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19"&gt;privilege&lt;/span&gt;. What does the average "christian" know about the history of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20"&gt;Zionism&lt;/span&gt;? Nothing. Do they care about the genocide and massive relocation of Palestinians? No. They've never heard of it. Even if they have they don't believe it. Or better yet: The Palestinians DESERVE it. After all, they are all born as Jew hating terrorists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If Constance &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21"&gt;Cumbey's&lt;/span&gt; book about opposing the "New Age" movement was of any value, I'll never know. Her high minded, condescending, and rude demeanor on her own blog comments section has prevented this reader from being intrigued. Besides, as I said to her on her own page, if she had actually written anything that could &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22"&gt;damage&lt;/span&gt; or expose the New Age Agenda, the publisher would have refused to print her book. And then they would have given her name to the right people, so she could be falsely accused of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23"&gt;something&lt;/span&gt;, and then disbarred. And if she kept it up after that? They would make her life a living Hell. Don't believe me?

For my first post?  I feel the need to explain myself.  I read a book, probably in the late 90's, called "Pawns in the Game" by William Guy Carr.  Mr. Carr makes a strong case against the "elite powers" of the world.  He claims that via Freemasonry they are manipulating governments, populations, religions etc.  Their goal is to control the entire earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I studied his work carefully.  I read the book twice.  I started looking up other anti-masonic research on the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Internet&lt;/span&gt;.  Eventually my interests faded, and my active search ceased.  I fell back to sleep.  I was still &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;suspicious&lt;/span&gt;.  I did not forget what I had learned.  I just went on with my life.  I still laughed when I heard the news.  I  blamed the government for Sept. 11t&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;h&lt;/span&gt;, but I didn't really MEAN it.  I didn't realize how REAL it was. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometime around 2003 my best friend saw Dylan Avery in a brief interview on &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;FreeSpeech&lt;/span&gt; TV.  He was talking about 9/11 being a "controlled demolition".  I had never imagined such a thing.  My friend showed me "&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;prisonplanet&lt;/span&gt;.com" by Alex Jones and I was overwhelmed.  Guy Carr and all that old &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Masonic&lt;/span&gt; research came flooding back to me.  I was awake.  I was angry.  I was obsessed &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;and I&lt;/span&gt; read without a break.  It was at least a year before I slowed down.  By the time I was done I considered Alex Jones and Dylan Avery to be liars.  Agents of the government-or worse.  Agents of an invisible power. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had learned about World Zionism and I really thought I had found the answer.  I wasted hours arguing with people online.  I tried to "convince" people that being anti-&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;zionist&lt;/span&gt; was not anti-&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;semtic&lt;/span&gt;.  People's knee jerk reactions about Jews would drive me crazy.  I became obsessed with Zionists.  Daryl Bradford Smith,  Eric &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;Hufschmid&lt;/span&gt; and Christopher &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;Bollyn&lt;/span&gt; were providing tons of information Zionism and I was enthralled.  Working as a trio, Smith, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;Hufschmid&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;Bollyn&lt;/span&gt; really seemed to fill in the details.  Now I've come to believe that all three of them are agents or controlled media figure heads.  If you haven't been following the "conspiracy theorists" in the last 4-5 years, you probably think I sound paranoid.  The amount of lies that saturate the television, newspapers, books and especially the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;Internet&lt;/span&gt;, are not &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;something&lt;/span&gt; I can convince you of.  You'll have to find out for yourself.  It is a filthy world.  Everyone is lying.  Most of them have no idea it is true.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two researchers brought me up out of the "anti-&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"&gt;zionist&lt;/span&gt;" rut.  Coincidentally they were both women.  Linda Kennedy and Niki &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16"&gt;Raapana&lt;/span&gt;.  Linda Kennedy is a disbarred atty from Virginia.  She exposes disinformation on her radio show.  See my links list.  Kennedy introduced me to Peter &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17"&gt;Kawaja&lt;/span&gt;.  I can't explain his story here.  It is the top link.  Start reading and understanding who he is.  It is important.  I found  Niki &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18"&gt;Raapana's&lt;/span&gt; research because I wanted a more complete understanding of this "Hegelian Dialectic" I kept hearing/reading about.  I typed in "what is the Hegelian Dialectic", and my understanding of the coming WORLD GOVERNMENT has never been the same.  If you've never heard of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19"&gt;Communitarianism&lt;/span&gt;, you need to go read Niki's web pages.  Again-see my links section.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm gonna call this my first post.  I'll be back.  Don't believe everything you think. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-So it goes-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20"&gt;sb&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7423543460591316703-7149459172189043657?l=sbalger.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sbalger.blogspot.com/feeds/7149459172189043657/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sbalger.blogspot.com/2009/01/breaking-bottle-on-bow.html#comment-form' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7423543460591316703/posts/default/7149459172189043657'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7423543460591316703/posts/default/7149459172189043657'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sbalger.blogspot.com/2009/01/breaking-bottle-on-bow.html' title='Breaking the Bottle on the Bow'/><author><name>Sean</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11217023773440530400</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_P0-sAWjjcK0/SWE0DulhCAI/AAAAAAAAAAk/Yz3uw8bkamE/S220/bodogger.jpg'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry></feed>
