Theresult is that those who achieve positions of power will be themost ruthless, the most sociopathic, the ones without conscience.In societies run bypsychopaths, ambitious individuals and sycophants, who are notclinically psychopathic, are induced to model themselves afterpowerful psychopaths in order to achieve power. The result: psychopathsbreed more psychopaths.When corporate leaders,bankers, media executives, academics, military officers, governmentofficials, Congressmen and Senators, and even Presidents and PrimeMinisters, are liars and deceivers, and are ruthless, callousmanipulators who have no regard for truth or other people, theentire fabric of society is twisted in their image, and psychopathicbehavior becomes the norm.Our world is characterizedby: permanent war, full-spectrum dominance, targeted assassinations,rendition, torture, water-boarding, NSA, FBI, CIA, Mossad, MI6,NATO, Gladio, Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo, mercenaries, Blackwater,paramilitaries, Contras, counter-insurgency, nuclear weapons,cruise missiles, drones, landmines, cluster bombs, napalm, whitephosphorus, Agent Orange, depleted uranium, biological and chemicalweapons, enemy combatants, shock and awe, mujahideen, al-Qaeda,Taliban, Islamic State (ISIS), Zionism, state terrorism, falseflags, 9/11, color revolutions, regime change, coup d'etats, sanctions,drug trafficking, human trafficking, plausible deniability, impunity,fascism and neo-fascism, Auschwitz, Nanking, Hiroshima and Nagasaki,genocide, apartheid, dictatorship, plutocracy, oligarchy, kleptocracy,political sociopaths and narcissists, structural adjustment, austerity,extreme inequality, exploitation, poverty, elite pedophilia, endemiccorruption, predatory capitalism, profiteering, tax havens, moneylaundering, bank bail-outs and bail-ins, too-big-to-fail, monopolycapitalism, globalization, market manipulation, financialization,corporatism, corporate personhood, golden parachutes, fracking,mountain-top removal, tar sands, Fukashima, laboratory-createddiseases, genetically-engineered food, glyphosate, medical-pharmamafia, vaccine catastrophe, autism, three-strikes, maximum-security,militarization of police, corporate media, public relations, propaganda,fake news, surveillance, RFID chips, optical scans, facial recognition,global government, the New World Order.It is clear that thisworld has not been built by caring human beings, but has beenconstructed and is run by powerful hallow soulless individuals.And, despite the violence,suffering and chaos they have caused, we allow them to remainat the top, and in control.WEBSITES TO VISITBARBARIANS IN SUITSBEYOND THE MEDIA MATRIXDISINFORMATION NATIONEMPIRE OF CHAOSGLOBAL KLEPTOCRACYHOW THE WORLD REALLY WORKSINCONVENIENT TRUTHSREAL WORLD ORDERTHE PLUTOCRACY CARTELTHE WAR RACKETTHIRD WORLD TRAVELERTRUTH-TELLERS"Serial killers ruin families.Corporate, political and religious psychopaths ruin economiesand societies."Robert Hare"A small proportion ofpeople who suffer from psychologically abnormal personalitieshave, throughout history, had an immeasurable detrimental impacton our societies, our politics and our world.

Thefindings of Machiavelli and other students of power decree thatto obtain power it is essential to ignore the moral laws of manand of God; that promises must be made only with the intentionto deceive and to mislead others to sacrifice their own interests;that the most brutal atrocity must be committed as a matter ofmere convenience; that friends or allies must be betrayed as matterof course as soon as they have served their purpose. But, it isalso decreed that these atrocities must be kept hidden from thecommon people except only where they are of use to strike terrorto the hearts of opponents; that there must be kept up a spuriousaspect of benevolence and benefit for the greater number of thepeople, and even an aspect of humility to gain as much help aspossible."E. C. Knuth in his book "TheEmpire of the "City""Application of the doctrineof power holds that highminded words can be used by the powerful,the demagogue and the hypocrite, or the merely self-deluded, toarouse passion and prejudice and sentimentality for the wrongreasons in favor of disguised real aims, thus to deceive the peopleand to lead them by easy stages to sacrifice their own interestsin the service of power."Niccolo Machiavelli in his book"The Prince", 1513"Since love and fear canhardly exist together, if we must choose between them, it is farsafer to be feared than loved."Niccolo Machiavelli in his book"The Prince", 1513"Never attempt to win byforce what can be won by deception."Niccolo Machiavelli in his book"The Prince", 1513"He who seeks to deceivewill always find someone who will allow himself to be deceived."Niccolo Machiavelli in his book"The Prince", 1513PSYCHOPATHS & SOCIOPATHS- WHO ARE THEY ?"A psychopath is definedas having no concern for the feelings of others & a completedisregard for any sense of social obligation. They seem egocentricand lacking insight and any sense of responsibility or consequence.Their emotions are thought to be superficial and shallow, if theyexist at all. They are considered callous, manipulative and incapableof forming lasting relationships, let alone of any kind of love.It is thought that any emotions which the true psychopath exhibitsare the fruits of watching and mimicking other people's emotions.They show poor impulse control and a low tolerance for frustrationand aggression. They have no empathy, remorse, anxiety or guiltin relation to their behavior. In short, they truly are devoidof conscience.Psychopaths also have a markedly distorted sense of the potentialconsequences of their actions, not only for others, but also forthemselves. They do not, for example, deeply recognize the riskof being caught, disbelieved or injured as a result of their behaviour."Robert D. Hare"Psychopaths, like anyoneelse, are born with different basic likes, dislikes and desires,which is why some of them are doctors and presidents and othersare petty thieves or rapists.... What differentiates a sociopath wholives off the labors of others from one who occasionally robsconvenience stores, or from one who is a contemporary robber baron,or what makes the difference between an ordinary bully and a sociopathicmurderer, is nothing more than social status, drive, intellect,blood lust, or simple opportunity."Martha Stout"In every competition inlife, the cheaters are going to have an advantage. The peoplewho act immorally, who have no regard for truth, are gong to havean advantage over those who play by the rules. The result is thatthose who achieve positions of power will be the most ruthless,the most sociopathic, the ones with no conscience."Stefan Verstappen"The truth is the onlything worth working towards. What separates us from the psychopathis our conscience, and our conscience must become the voice oftruth. True conscience raises us above the example of animal behaviourset by the pathocrats."Henry See in his book "TheTrick of the Psychopath's Trade""Psychopaths show a stunninglack of concern for the devastating effects their actions haveon others. Often they are completely forthright about the matter,calmly stating that they have no sense of guilt, are not sorryfor the pain and destruction they have caused, and that thereis no reason for them to be concerned."Robert D. Hare"Character-disordered individuals,unencumbered by qualms of conscience, pursue their personal goalswith indifference to and often at the expense of the rights andneeds of others."George Simon, Jr."Psychopaths differ fromnormal people in that they lack the ability to relate emotionallyto others. As a consequence, they have a terrifying ability totreat others not as human beings but as things to be exploited,tortured or killed, as they see fit."Ian Hughes"Predators use charm, manipulation,intimidation, and violence to control others and to satisfy theirown selfish needs. Lacking in conscience and in feelings for others,they cold-bloodedly take what they want and do as they please,violating social norms and expectations without the slightestsense of guilt or regret.Robert D. Hare"The psychopath enjoysmaking others suffer. Just as normal humans enjoy seeing otherpeople happy, or doing things that make other people smile, thepsychopath enjoys the exact opposite."Andrew M. Lobaczewski in his book"Political Ponerology: a science on the nature of evil adjustedfor political purposes""Psychopaths are expertsat using people. They can ask anything of anyone without embarrassment.... Psychopaths lie for the sake of lying. They can convey thedeepest heartfelt message without meaning a word of it."Laura Knight-Jadczyk"Empathy cannot defeatthe psychopath. You cannot change them, you cannot reform them,you cannot find the goodness inside them, you cannot show themthe way to god, and you cannot teach them about love. All theseapproaches are doomed to failure since psychopaths can never understandnor can they care about these concepts. While they may lead youto believe that you are getting through to them, in reality, yourempathy infuriates them and far from admiring your compassion,they despise you even more. While you try to 'understand' thepsychopath, they are secretly calculating how best to cause youthe most suffering."Stefan H. Verstappen"Psychopaths are socialpredators and like all predators they are looking for feedinggrounds. Wherever you get power, prestige and money you will findthem."Robert Hare"Interpersonal traits ofpsychopaths include glibness, superficial charm, a grandiose senseof self-worth, pathological lying, and the manipulation of others.The affective traits include a lack of remorse and/or guilt, shallowaffect, a lack of empathy, and failure to accept responsibility.... If violent offenders are psychopathic, they are able to assault,rape, and murder without concern for legal, moral, or social consequences.This allows them to do what they want, whenever they want. Ironically,these same traits exist in men and women who are drawn to high-profileand powerful positions in society including political officeholders."Jim Kouri"If you're very brightand know how to dress well; if you have the gift of the gab; ifyou're raised in an affluent family background; then you don'tgo in the bank and rob it, you get in the bank and become a director."Robert Hare"Psychopaths are smart,personable, and engaging, but have no consciences. They are notguided by a sense of right or wrong. They seem to be unaffectedby the feelings of others, including feelings of distress causedby their actions. Straying from a decent way of treating people,or violating ethical codes causes no anxiety.... Psychopaths are not technically insane. They don't have apsychosis, like schizophrenia. They are experts in appearing normal.... In a country in which much of human culture has been renderedinto machines for the manufacture of money, psychopaths are theideal leaders. They are very focused. They are outcome oriented.They are frequently charming, and usually very bright and able.They can lay off thousands of people, or deny people health care,or have them waterboarded, and it does not disturb their sleep."David Schwartz"Civilization, as we knowit, is largely the creation of psychopaths. All civilizations,our own included, have been based on slavery and warfare."Stuart Hertzog"Achieving power for the sakeof having power is the nature of the psychopath."Robert Hare"The Party seeks powerentirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good ofothers; we are interested solely in power. Not wealth or luxuryor long life or happiness: only power, pure power. We are different from all the oligarchies of the past, in thatwe know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembledourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and theRussian Communists came very close to us in their methods, butthey never had the courage to recognize their own motives. Theypretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized powerunwillingly and for a limited time, and that just round the cornerthere lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal.We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power withthe intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it isan end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguarda revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish thedictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The objectof torture is torture. The object of power is power."George Orwell in his book "1984""Lying, deceiving, andmanipulation are natural talents for psychopaths."Robert D.

They are ideally suited to the ruthless, competitive,self-promoting and manipulative power games that dominate partypolitics."Stuart Hertzog"The society of expertswill control propaganda and education. It will teach loyalty tothe world government, and make nationalism high treason. The government,being an oligarchy, will instill submissiveness into the greatbulk of the population It is possible that it may invent ingeniousways of concealing its own power, leaving the forms of democracyintact, and allowing the plutocrats or politicians to imaginethat they are cleverly controlling these forms whatever the outwardforms may be, all real power will come to be concentrated in thehands of those who understand the art of scientific manipulation."Bertrand Russell"The war against a foreigncountry only happens when the moneyed classes think they are goingto profit from it."George Orwell"The question is not howto get good people to rule; the question is how to stop the powerfulfrom doing as much damage as they can to us."Karl Popper"Has the government ofthe United States of America become a criminal enterprise? Isthe nation ruled by psychopaths? How can the impoverishment ofthe people, the promotion of the military-industrial complex andendless wars and their genocidal killing, the degradation of theenvironment, the neglect of the collapsing infrastructure, andthe support of corrupt and authoritarian governments abroad beexplained? Worse, why are corporations allowed to profiteer duringwars while the people are called upon to sacrifice? Why hasn'tthe government ever tried to prohibit such profiteering?"John Kozy"The civilized have createdthe wretched, quite coldly and deliberately, and do not intendto change the status quo; are responsible for their slaughterand enslavement; rain down bombs on defenseless children wheneverand wherever they decide that their "vital interests"are menaced, and think nothing of torturing a man to death: thesepeople are not to be taken seriously when they speak of the "sanctity"of human life, or the "conscience" of the civilizedworld."James Baldwin, Collected Essays"Unchecked, rulers willalways consolidate and centralize their control until there isnothing left for them to seize."Joseph Plummer"The State of the Unionaddress is one of the largest collections of psychopaths everorganized under one roof. Every one of them is regularly engagedin the backstabbing political arena of bribes, usurpation of powers,slimy deals, Constitution shredding laws, pork-barrel appropriationsfor cronies, and contributors and the sanctioners of murder andmayhem around the world.Then comes the president. With a well-practiced, straight face,he tells lie after lie as if he actually believed what he wassaying were true; his cadence interrupted only by the applausefrom the gallery of psychopaths when he tells a really big one.They all know that none of the president's promises will cometrue - that it's all political subterfuge - but they give repeatedstanding ovations for his convoluted proclamations."Hari Heath"Sociopaths love power.They love winning. If you take loving kindness out of the humanbrain, there's not much left except the will to win."Martha Stout"Psychopaths dominate thehalls of power in both the United States and throughout the world.The current economic, political, military and legal system breedspsychopaths, rewarding psychopathic behavior and punishing thosewith conscience and integrity. Psychopaths will naturally be drawnto and converge at the apex of the power pyramid as much fromtheir own drive for ambitious power as the hierarchical systemthat both requires and reinforces those who can comfortably operatewithout conscience, guilt or any genuine level of empathy towardothers."Joachim Hagopian"When we view the truenature of psychopathic influence - that it is conscienceless,emotionless, selfish, cold and calculating, and devoid of anymoral or ethical standards - then everything suddenly begins tomakes sense. Our society is ever more soulless because the peoplewho lead it and who set the example are soulless - they literallyhave no conscience."Andrzej Lobaczewski in his book"Political Ponerology: A science on the nature of evil adjustedfor political purposes""Many politicians sharethe traits of psychopaths who are not sensitive to altruisticappeals, such as sympathy for their victims or remorse or guiltover their crimes. They possess the personality traits of lying,narcissism, selfishness, and vanity. These are the people to whomwe have entrusted our fate. Is it any wonder that America is failingat home and world-wide?"John Kozy"Psychopaths are naturallyattracted to positions of power, and they will overwhelm anyonewith a conscience, who plays by the rules and has good intentions.So you will have people with very dark interior lives, who arecontrolling channels of communication, controlling finance, controllingindustry. And, they will promote their psychopathic "family"values. Psychopathic "values" now permeate all facetsof our culture."Stefan Verstappen"Most psychopathic serialkillers and many professional politicians must mimic what theybelieve are appropriate responses to situations they face suchas sadness, empathy, sympathy, and other human responses to outsidestimuli. ... These traits exist in men and women who are drawnto high-profile and powerful positions in society including politicalofficeholders."Jim Kouri"Real power is unelected.Politicians change, but the power structure does not. The Network(a global Anglophile financial elite power structure) operatesbehind the scenes, for its own benefit, without ever consultingthose who are affected by its decisions. The Network is composed of individuals who prefer anonymity. Theyare "satisfied to possess the reality rather than the appearanceof power." This approach of secretly exercising power iscommon throughout history because it protects the conspiratorsfrom the consequences of their actions. A primary tactic for directing public opinion and "government"policy is to place willing servants in leadership positions oftrusted institutions (media, universities, government, foundations,etc.). If there is ever a major backlash against a given policy,the servant can be replaced. This leaves both the institutionand the individuals who actually direct its power unharmed. Historically, those who establish sophisticated systems of dominationare not only highly intelligent; they are supremely deceptiveand ruthless. They completely ignore the ethical barriers thatgovern a normal human being's behavior. They do not believe thatthe moral and legislative laws, which others are expected to abideby, apply to them. This gives them an enormous advantage overthe masses that cannot easily imagine their mind-set. Advancesin technology have enabled modern rulers to dominate larger andlarger areas of the globe. As a result, the substance of national sovereignty has alreadybeen destroyed, and whatever remains of its shell is being dismantledas quickly as possible. The new system they're building (whichthey themselves refer to as a New World Order), will trade theexisting illusion of democratically directed government for theirlong-sought, "expert-directed," authoritarian technocracy."Joseph Plummer, 2014"Psychopaths and sociopathsflock to power. This is the trouble with any kind of power. Itattracts people who want to use it and who get thrills from usingit no matter what it does to other people... We have a nationrun by sociopaths and psychopaths."Paul Craig Roberts, 2014"Psychopaths seek positionsof power and influence, and politics offers publicity, prestige,and other perks. It also provides positions of ultimate authorityover military, industry, and entire populations. In a world wherepsychopaths are understandably viewed as morally repulsive, oftenfinding themselves at home in the criminal world, politics offersan opportunity to create a new world, to be free from the moraland legal rules of society."Harrison Koehli"Power is an addictionits abusers can neither comprehend nor arrest. They are programmedtowards ruthless, hegemonic domination of the 'other'... The 'freemarket' really means freedom for the few to steal everything fromthe many. The game is rigged so that the people lose either way."Niall Bradley"Anyone who wants to rulemen first tries to humiliate them, to trick them out of theirrights and their capacity for resistance, until they are as powerlessbefore him as animals. He uses them like animals and, even ifhe does not tell them so, in himself he always knows quite clearlythat they mean just as little to him; when he speaks to his intimateshe will call them sheep or cattle. His ultimate aim is to incorporatethem into himself and to suck the substance out of them. Whatremains of them afterwards does not matter to him. The worse hehas treated them, the more he despises them. When they are nomore use at all, he disposes of them as he does excrement, simplyseeing to it that they do not poison the air of his house."Elias Canetti"Psychopaths have playeda disproportionate role in the development of civilization, becausethey are hard-wired to lie, kill, injure, and generally inflictgreat suffering on other humans without feeling any remorse."Kevin Barnett"American leaders are perhapsnot so much immoral as they are amoral. It's not that they takepleasure in causing so much death and suffering. It's that theyjust don't care. The same that could be said about a sociopath.As long as the death and suffering advance the agenda of the empire,as long as the right people and the right corporations gain wealthand power and privilege and prestige, as long as the death andsuffering aren't happening to them or people close to them, thenthey just don't care about it happening to other people, includingthe American soldiers whom they throw into wars and who come home- the ones who make it back alive - with Agent Orange or GulfWar Syndrome eating away at their bodies. American leaders wouldnot be in the positions they hold if they were bothered by suchthings."William Blum"Since the late 1940s,the United States has been deliberately engaged in an imperialproject, and anyone who would hold the office of the presidencyhas to be willing to serve that end. All presidents have to promotethe national security state, both domestically and in Americanforeign policy, if they wish to attain and hold on to power."Morris Berman"If the Nuremberg lawswere applied today, then every Post-War American president wouldhave to be hanged."Noam Chomsky"Our leaders are cruelbecause only those willing to be inordinately cruel and remorselesscan hold positions of leadership in the foreign policy establishment.People capable of expressing a full human measure of compassionand empathy toward faraway powerless strangers do not become presidentof the United States, or vice president, or secretary of state,or national security adviser."William Blum"American policymakers,setting themselves up as guardians of the world system, are moreinclined than ever to simply disregard international laws andconventions if they get in the way of unrivaled military supremacy.Every instance of U.S. armed intervention during the 1980s and1990s represents a flagrant violation of regional treaties andlaws, not to mention the UN Charter itself, which explicitly prohibitsmilitary attacks against sovereign nations - for example, Grenada,Nicaragua, Haiti, Panama, Serbia, and Iraq. In any event, theU.S. has consistently shown its contempt for international bodies,agreements, and procedures that might conflict with its hegemonicaspirations."Carl Boggs"So many Americans findit almost impossible to believe that their government officialswould wantonly sacrifice the lives of its citizens [9/11-WTC massacre]to further their personal agendas. More importantly, considerthe fact that your government knows how you think only too well."Laura Knight-Jadczyk"A nuclear war could alleviatesome of the factors leading to today's ecological disturbancesthat are due to current high-population concentrations and heavyindustrial production."official of the U.S. Office ofCivil Defense, quoted in The Fate of the Earth by Jonathan Schell,1982"From 1945 to 2003, theUnited States attempted to overthrow more than 40 foreign governments,and to crush more than 30 populist-nationalist movements fightingagainst intolerable regimes. In the process, the US bombed some25 countries, caused the end of life for several million people,and condemned many millions more to a life of agony and despair."William Blum"In politics the professionalpsychopath's ruthlessness and cunning gives them a distinct advantageover any non-psychopath rival. They make charismatic leaders,manipulating and brainwashing the naive, vulnerable, uneducated,or mentally weak. Mastery of lying allows them to make whateveroutrageous campaign promises straight faced with, of course, nointention of keeping any of them. A life spent faking being humangive them the ability to assume the roles of virtuous public servant,the perfect father, husband, advisor, mentor, and everyman. Inaddition when things get rough they have no inhibitions in playingdirty and readily resort to murder, assassination, persecution,war and genocide."Stefan H.

Theatomic bomb killed more than 150,000 civilians.]President Harry Truman, August9, 1945"Based on a detailed investigationof all the facts and supported by the testimony of the survivingJapanese leaders involved, it is the Survey's opinion that certainlyprior to 31 December 1945, and in all probability prior to November1945, Japan would have surrendered even if the atomic bombs hadnot been dropped, even if Russia had not entered the war, andeven if no invasion had been planned or contemplated."U.S. Strategic Bombing Survey [1945]- which interviewed 700 Japanese officials after WWII"It is my opinion thatthe use of this barbarous weapon at Hiroshima and Nagasaki wasof no material assistance in our war against Japan. The Japanesewere already defeated and ready to surrender because of the effectivesea blockade and the successful bombing with conventional weapons.The lethal possibilities of atomic warfare in the future are frightening.My own feeling was that in being the first to use it, we had adoptedan ethical standard common to the barbarians of the Dark Ages.I was not taught to make war in that fashion, and wars cannotbe won by destroying women and children."Admiral William Leahy, top militaryaide to President Truman, in his war memoirs"It wasn't necessary tohit them [Japanese] with that awful thing ... To use the atomicbomb, to kill and terrorize civilians, without even attemptingnegotiations, was a double crime."General Dwight D. Eisenhower"The truth is we are guilty.Our conscience as a nation must trouble us. We must confess oursin. We have used a horrible weapon to asphyxiate and crematemore than 100,000 men, women and children in a sort of super-lethalgas chamber - and all this in a war already won or which spokesmanfor our Air Forces tell us we could have readily won without theatomic bomb."David Lawrence, founder and editorof U.S. News And World Report"The MacArthur memorandumto F.D.R. of January 20, 1945 ... explicitly set forth the termsof an authentic Japanese peace offer which were virtually identicalwith the final surrender terms that we accepted from the Japaneseseven months later ­ at the cost of countless needlessly expendedlives, Japanese and American alike.The major reason for dropping the bomb was a saber-rattling gestureto the Russians against whom we were already preparing the ColdWar."historian Harry Elmer Barnes, NationalReview, 1958"I voice my grave misgivings,first on the basis of my belief that Japan was already defeated,and that the dropping of the bomb was completely unnecessary,and secondly because I thought that our country should avoid shockingworld opinion by the use of a weapon which I thought was no longermandatory to save American lives."Five-star General Dwight D. Eisenhower,Supreme Allied Commander in Europe"In principle, the exterminationcamps where the Nazis incinerated over six million helpless Jews,were no different from the urban crematoriums our air force improvisedin its attacks by napalm on Tokyo.

This is simplya myth and has little relationship to historical facts. "modern historian Tsuyoshi Hasegawa"Indeed, about one matter,there can be little doubt, Hiroshima is an American legend. Asthe rationales for the atomic bombing have come under detailedhistorical scrutiny, and the foundations underpinning much ofthe original justification have begun to erode, adherence to themyth of Hiroshima has intensified among those who believe theUnited States acted correctly even more."Lawrence Lifshultz and Kai Birdin their introduction to the collection of documents they editedtitled "Hiroshima's Shadow: Wirings on the Denial of Historyand the Smithsonian Controversy", 1996"We didn't need to do it[bomb HIroshima and Nagasaki], and we knew we didn't need to doit, and they knew that we knew we didn't need to do it; we usedthem as an experiment for two atomic bombs."Brigadier General Carter Clarke,military intelligence officer, in charge of preparing intercepted Japanese cables for PresidentTruman and his advisors"I want people around mewho would kiss my ass on a hot summer's day and say it smellslike roses."President Lyndon Johnson to SenatorHubert Humphrey"Fuck your Parliament andyour Constitution.

Mass incarceration and the repeal of welfare, two ofClinton's other major achievements, are the pillars of the disciplinarystate that has made life so miserable for Americans in the lowerreaches of society.

Enthused by prospects for total surveillanceof the world, Clinton raised intelligence spending levels to morethan 30 billion dollars, with increasing emphasis on the supersecretNational Security Agency. The planned, systematic, and brutaldestruction of the Serb infrastructure must be considered oneof the great war crimes of the postwar years."Carl Boggs"Bill Clinton, and mostother contemporary Democrats, did not and will not do what isbest for us or the world we live in.

That's thedifference."Michael Moore"The North American FreeTrade Agreement [NAFTA] was peddled by the Clinton White Houseas an opportunity to raise the incomes and prosperity of the citizensof the United States, Canada, and Mexico. NAFTA would also, wewere told, stanch Mexican immigration into the United States.... But NAFTA, which took effect in 1994, had the effect of reversingevery one of Clinton's rosy predictions. Once the Mexican governmentlifted price supports on corn and beans grown by Mexican farmers,those farmers had to compete against the huge agribusinesses inthe United States. Many Mexican farmers were swiftly bankrupted.At least 2 million Mexican farmers have been driven off theirland since 1994.... NAFTA was great if you were a corporation. It was a disasterif you were a worker.... Bill Clinton's welfare reform bill, signed on August 22, 1996,obliterated the nation's social safety net. It threw 6 millionpeople, many of them single mothers, off the welfare rolls withinthree years. It dumped them onto the streets without child care,rent subsidies, or continued Medicaid coverage.... Clinton slashed Medicare by $115 billion over a five-yearperiod and cut $25 billion in Medicaid funding.... The Clinton administration, led by Lawrence Summers, signedinto law the Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999, whichripped down the firewalls that had been established by the 1933GlassSteagall Act. Glass-Steagall established the Federal DepositInsurance Corporation. It set in place banking reforms to stopspeculators from hijacking the financial system. With Glass-Steagalldemolished, and the passage of NAFTA, the Democrats, led by Clinton,tumbled gleefully into bed with corporations and Wall Street speculators."Chris Hedges"In 1994, Bill Clintoncalled for and then sign his name to the most sweeping police-statebill that postwar America has seen. Among other things, the measureprovided for the construction of countless new prisons, it establishedover a hundred new mandatory minimum sentences, it allowed prosecutorsto charge thirteen-year-olds as adults in some cases, and it coercedthe states into minimizing parole. It also increased the numberof federal death penalties from three to sixty, including somefor nonlethal offenses."Thomas Frank"We're a peaceful nation...This is the calling of the United States of America, the mostfree nation in the world, a nation built on fundamental values,that rejects hate, rejects violence, rejects murderers, rejectsevil.

Bush"You need somebody in officewho will tell the truth."President George W Bush"Bill Clinton rammed theNorth American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) through Congress.... NAFTA was supposed to encourage U.S. exportsto Mexico; the opposite is what happened, and in a huge way. NAFTAwas supposed to increase employment in the U.S.; a study from2010 counts almost 700,000 jobs lost in America thanks to thetreaty. And, the agreement gave one class in America enormousleverage over the other: employers now routinely threaten to movetheir operations to Mexico if their workers organize. A surprisinglylarge number of them-far more than in the pre-NAFTA days-haveactually made good on the threat.... In the decades before NAFTA,Mexico's economy often grew rapidly; since NAFTA was enacted,Mexico has experienced some of the feeblest growth of any countryin Latin America, despite all the stuff it now makes and exportsto the U.S. The country's poverty rate has not changed much atall while every other country in the region has made considerableprogress. One reason for all this is the predictably destructiveeffect that free trade with American agribusiness has had on thefortunes of millions of Mexican family farmers."Thomas Frank"Empathy is at the heartof my moral code and it is how I understand the Golden Rule --not simply as a call to sympathy or charity, but as somethingmore demanding, a call to stand in somebody else's shoes and seethrough their eyes."Barack Obama in his book "TheAudacity of Hope""Whatever mistakes we havemade, the plain fact is this: The United States of America hashelped underwrite global security for more than six decades withthe blood of our citizens and the strength of our arms.We have borne this burden not because we seek to impose our will.We have done so out of enlightened self-interest - because weseek a better future for our children and grandchildren, and webelieve that their lives will be better if others' children andgrandchildren can live in freedom and prosperity."Barack Obama in his Nobel speech,2009"I believe that all nations,strong and weak alike, must adhere to standards that govern theuse of force... we have a moral and strategic interest in bindingourselves to certain rules of conduct...

When the Libyan leader, Col. Gaddafiwas publicly sodomized with a knife, a murder made possible byAmerican logistics, Clinton gloated over his death.

They need some bombing,and that's what they are going to get."Secretary of State Madeleine Albright- about the bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999"In 1999, Albright playeda key role in the war on Yugoslavia, engineering the failure ofthe negotiations that preceded the war. Albright presented theYugoslav government with an "agreement" that would haveallowed NATO to forces to occupy the entire country, with theunheard of provision that Yugoslavia would pay for the expensesof the occupation!After the talks broke off, a "top official" (Albright)told reporters in an off-the-record session: "We intentionallyset the bar too high for the Serbs to comply. They need some bombing,and that's what they are going to get." When the Yugoslavgovernment predictably rejected the ultimatum disguised as a "proposal,"the bombing began and continued for three months.Thousands of civilians were killed, wounded and made homeless.As was true in Iraq, the entire population was traumatized, withwomen and children most severely impacted.Like the assault on Iraq, the attack on Yugoslavia was a war crime,a "crime against peace," the most serious of all violationsof international law, a war of aggression against another statethat poses no threat to the country launching the war."Gloria La Riva"If we have to use force,it is because we are America.

Such is the capability of this technology.... I don't want to see this country ever go across the bridge.I know the capacity that is there to make tyranny total in America,and we must see to it that this agency [NSA] and all agenciesthat possess this technology operate within the law and underproper supervision, so that we never cross over that abyss.

In a corporate environmentthey have many advantages over their non-psychopathic competitorsfor promotion. Not surprisingly most corporations end up beingrun by psychopaths. As with a criminal gang a corporation's cultureadopts the twisted values of its leaders. Those who would seekemployment must likewise adopt or at least appear to adopt thecorporation's essentially psychopathic mindset."Stefan H. Verstappen"Corrupt corporations feedon money and power, The former comes in part from the US Treasuryand ultimately from the general public. To maintain this flowthey seek power. The government is where the power is. Individualpsychopaths rely on their personality and manipulativeness toget what they need from another person. Psychopathic corporationsface a more complex task. They have to influence all three branchesof our government, the legislative, the judiciary and the executive,to go along with survival tactics motivated by greed rather thanthe welfare of the public. Corporations have been in businessa long time and have succeeded admirably. We have created a newgeneration of robber barons but this time they are playing formuch higher stakes. The pathological fallout is no longer limitedto our own borders. Their reach extends globally, involving uspolitically, environmentally and militarily with countries richand poor. Illness knows no geographical limits."Montague Ullman, M, D."There seems to be nothingto prevent the transnational corporations taking possession ofthe planet and subjecting humanity to the dictatorship of capital."Christian la Brie in an artilcein Le Monde Diplomatique"The transnational corporationscarry on inexorably.

They expand, invest and grow, concentratingever more wealth in a limited number of hands. They work in coalitionto influence local, national and international institutions andlaws. And together with the governments of their home countriesin Europe, North America and Japan, as well as international institutionssuch as the World Trade Organization, the World Bank, the InternationalMonetary Fund and increasingly, the United Nations, they are moldingan international system in which they can trade and invest evenmore freely--a world where they are less and less accountableto the cultures, communities and nation-states in which they operate.Underpinning this effort is not the historical inevitability ofan evolving, enlightened civilization, but rather the unavoidablereality of the overriding corporate purpose: the maximizationof profits."Sierra Club"There are more than 60,000transnational corporations in the world.

The Network(a global Anglophile financial elite power structure) operatesbehind the scenes, for its own benefit, without ever consultingthose who are affected by its decisions. The Network is composed of individuals who prefer anonymity. Theyare "satisfied to possess the reality rather than the appearanceof power." This approach of secretly exercising power iscommon throughout history because it protects the conspiratorsfrom the consequences of their actions. A primary tactic for directing public opinion and "government"policy is to place willing servants in leadership positions oftrusted institutions (media, universities, government, foundations,etc.). If there is ever a major backlash against a given policy,the servant can be replaced. This leaves both the institutionand the individuals who actually direct its power unharmed. Historically, those who establish sophisticated systems of dominationare not only highly intelligent; they are supremely deceptiveand ruthless. They completely ignore the ethical barriers thatgovern a normal human being's behavior. They do not believe thatthe moral and legislative laws, which others are expected to abideby, apply to them. This gives them an enormous advantage overthe masses that cannot easily imagine their mind-set. Advancesin technology have enabled modern rulers to dominate larger andlarger areas of the globe. As a result, the substance of national sovereignty has alreadybeen destroyed, and whatever remains of its shell is being dismantledas quickly as possible. The new system they're building (whichthey themselves refer to as a New World Order), will trade theexisting illusion of democratically directed government for theirlong-sought, "expert-directed," authoritarian technocracy."Joseph Plummer, 2014"Look at the United States.The two parties are mirror images of each other. To preserve theimage of democracy, both are needed, both serve the same masters.But there are no leaders in the US who are standing up and speakingabout the genocide of the Palestinians. The deaths of hundredsof thousands of Iraqis are passed over in silence. There is noroom for conscience in the US government, in either party, andthe control of the press, not to mention other means such as blackmailand threats, ensure that those who might speak up, don't."Henry See in his book "TheTrick of the Psychopath's Trade""In a country in whichmuch of human culture has been rendered into machines for themanufacture of money, psychopaths are the ideal leaders.

The United States was also responsible for 14 million deathsin Afghanistan, Angola, Democratic Republic of the Congo, EastTimor, Guatemala, Indonesia, Pakistan and Sudan.... The United States most likely has been responsible since WWIIfor the deaths of between 20 and 30 million people in wars andconflicts scattered over the world."James A.

The great hustlers, charmers, and self-promotersin the sales fields are perfect examples of where the psychopathcan thrive. The entertainment industry, the sports industry, thecorporate world in a capitalistic system, are all areas wherepsychopaths naturally rise to the top."Laura Knight-Jadczyk"The problem is that authoritarianfollowers are much more active than the rest of the country. Theyhave the mentality of 'old-time religion' on a crusade, and theygenerously give money, time and effort to the cause. They proselytize;they lick stamps; they put pressure on loved ones; and they revelin being loyal to a cohesive group of like thinkers. And theyare so submissive to their leaders that they will believe anddo virtually anything they are told. They are not going to letup and they are not going to go away."Robert Altemeyer"Money is the glue of movementconservatism, which is largely financed by a handful of extremelywealthy individuals and a number of major corporations, all ofwhom stand to gain from increased inequality, an end to progressivetaxation, and a rollback of the welfare state - in short, froma reversal of the New Deal. And turning the clock back on economicpolicies that limit inequality is, at its core, what movementconservatism is all about."Paul Krugman"In the world today whereinformation is controlled by a small number of media outlets,and those media outlets have much in common with the pathologicalgovernments, greater numbers of people can be influenced and infectedwith pathological thinking... Madeleine Albright in 1996 was askedabout the 500,000 deaths in Iraq, mostly of children, due to theIraq embargo. She responded that she thought 'It was worth it',that is, those deaths were the necessary price to pay to bringdown Saddam. That is unquestionably pathological logic, and yethow many Americans would have heard that response and thoughtnothing of it? Anyone who, on hearing that statement, was notoutraged has been infected with pathological thinking, they havebeen ponerized. Their thinking has become distorted by the pathologicalinfection."Henry See in his book "TheTrick of the Psychopath's Trade""Psychopaths derive theirpower from the complicity of the general population. Most peoplestill get suckered in by the manipulation of psychopaths, andmost people still admire them. The only answer to eliminatingthe power of the psychopath is to educate the public....

We must develop effective espionage and counterespionageservices. We must learn to subvert, sabotage and destroy our enemiesby more clever, more sophisticated and more effective methodsthan those used against us. It may become necessary that the Americanpeople be acquainted with, understand and support this fundamentallyrepugnant philosophy."Hoover Commission report of 1954"There is a single themebehind all our work. We must reduce population levels. Eitherthey do it our way, through nice clean methods or they will getthe kind of mess that we have in El Salvador, or in Iran, or inBeirut.

His group alsopioneered the use of terrorist car-bombs and other explosive attacksagainst innocent civilian targets, all long before any Arabs orMuslims had ever thought of using similar tactics; and Begin'slarger and more "moderate" Zionist faction did muchthe same. Given that background, it was hardly surprising thatShamir later served as director of assassinations at the IsraeliMossad during 1955-1965, so if the Mossad did indeed play a majorrole in the assassination of President John F.

As if until now Arabic had been equalto Hebrew.According to some Israeli critics, the new Israeli bill wouldweaken the wording of Israel's declaration of independence, whichstates that the new state would "be based on the principlesof liberty, justice and freedom expressed by the prophets of Israel[and] affirm complete social and political equality for all itscitizens, regardless of religion, race or gender."Israel has always been the Jewish State, it has never been a liberalplace nor has it been committed to justice or equality.

Women in Saudi Arabia, along with minorities regardless ofgender, are regarded as chattel, with little if any rights thatmost would consider compatible with a civilised society. It isa medieval system, underpinned by the most extreme interpretationof Islam, Wahhabism, which is playing a key role in spreadingreligious fundamentalism throughout the Middle East."John Wight, 2015"Saudi Arabia is governedby a family dictatorship which tolerates no opposition and severelypunishes human rights advocates and political dissidents.

Suspicionthat Bandar and his allies in the Royal family had prior knowledgeof the bombings by Saudi terrorists (11 of the 19), is suggestedby the sudden flight of Saudi Royalty following the terroristact.... Bandar bin Sultan has transformed Saudi Arabia into a majorregional center of a vast terror network, an active financialbacker of right-wing military dictatorships (Egypt) and clientregimes (Yemen) and military intervenor in the Gulf region (Bahrain).Bandar has financed and armed a vast array of clandestine terroroperations, utilizing Islamic affiliates of Al Qaeda, the Saudicontrolled Wahhabi sect as well as numerous other Sunni armedgroups.

Inequalityin America is extreme. Authoritarianism is increasing. Beforewe realize it, America's democratic experiment will have endedin failure, and possibly chaos. Societies with extreme inequalityhave always come to ignoble ends. The question is whether Americawill end with a whimper, or with a bang.American hubris has resulted inglobal economic chaos and strategic confrontation. We are no longerthe only superpower. Both Russia and China, once great empires,want a second chance at global prosperity and respect. As theU.S. is forced by circumstances to abandon its role as the soleglobal policeman and economic powerhouse, others are ready totake its place. But, dying empires are known to flail about andfight viciously to preserve their former hegemony. And, it lookslike the United States will not go quietly into the night.U. S. power was at its peak followingWorld War II. America ruled the globe economically and militarily.It's influence was ubiquitous and its soft power seemingly unlimited.But, arrogance and greed have turned the United States into apariah. We are feared for our power, but no longer respected forour institutions. Inequality, injustice, corruption, and our projectionof violence, have turned much of the world against us.Throughout the 20th century andinto the 21st century, the United States rhetorically lauded thebenefits of democracy, while undermining democratically-electedgovernments everywhere. U.S.-sponsored coups and "color revolutions"dressed-up as spontaneous popular uprisings, have shown that democraticgovernments are not well-suited to withstand 21st century 'realpolitik'.Developing countries, which oncelooked to the United States as a model for political and economicdevelopment, are re-evaluating whether democracy is their bestpolitical choice. As the economic and political might of Russiaand China grow, so does their influence.And, as the United States repeatedlydemonstrates how easily it can manipulate elections and exploitpopular unrest, while hypocritically preaching about democracy,developing countries may conclude that authoritarian governmentmay be their best survival option.The result: democracy will be left in the dustbin of history.On the economic front, a new feudalismis emerging. As work is made contingent and part-time, employeebenefits are cut, operations are moved offshore, unemploymentincreases, well-paying manufacturing jobs become minimum-wageservice jobs, family debt grows, inequality increases and opportunitiesdisappear, the United States is beginning to look more like amal-developed country in the global South, than an economic giant,while American workers, once the envy of the world, struggle tocompete with workers in the third world.21st century neoliberal capitalismis producing chaos, globally. Unabashed greed, absence of effectiveregulation of business activity, and the growth of global casinocapitalism have caused untold damage. Austerity, privatization,extreme financial risk-taking, endemic fraud and market manipulationhave combined to produce a perfect economic storm. Regulatorshave stopped regulating, plutocrats continue to accumulate wealth,and politicians grab what they can. Nobody trusts anybody, bankswon't lend, unemployment is high and rising, personal debt isstaggering, and hardship and immiseration are growing, while the.01% spends with abandon and economic inequality has achievedheights not seen since the Gilded Age of the late 19th century.Business and political elites haveshown a willingness to undermine and severely damage their owncountry's economy, in order to weaken a populist government thatrefuses to support neoliberal economic policies that enrich thewealthy. As the economy is covertly sabotaged, the population,unaware that the source of their misery is the business elite,blame the populist leaders, and remove them from office. The resultis that neoliberal governments replace populist governments, anti-workerpolicies are adopted and accelerated, the elites grow richer,and the working class suffers even more.In Asia, China's growing economicpower is transforming global finance. The Chinese yuan may soontake its place as an international reserve currency, joining thedollar - or even replacing it. The global impact of the dollar'sreserve currency displacement would be enormous.Banks have started restrictingcash withdrawals. It is now difficult to take out more than afew thousand dollars in cash from some banks. Soon it may be nearlyimpossible to withdraw cash from bank accounts.Some countries are consideringbecoming cashless societies, where money will no longer be acceptedand all monetary transactions will be digital. The result willbe the end of financial privacy. Governments will then have totalcontrol over the economic lives of their citizens.In the new "normal" financialenvironment, banks will prosper by taxing the deposits of savers(rather than paying interest on deposits) or by taking some ofthe savings of their customers (bail-ins) as needed to enhancetheir balance sheets.As the economic noose tightens,political turmoil, popular unrest and even global conflict mayresult.Kleptocratic elites in concertwith corrupt political and business leaders, will not be the solutionto the probem - they will be the problem.Every person will have to fendfor himself or herself, and for their loved ones, in a more chaotic,less fair, less democratic, more authoritarian world.The time to prepare is now.PROTOCOLS OF THE LEARNEDELDERS OF ZIONA HOAX OR A BLUEPRINT FORTOTALITARIAN WORLD CONTROL BY PSYCHOPATHS?"The presumption is strongthat the Protocols were issued, or reissued, at the First ZionistCongress held at Basle (Switzerland) in 1897 under the presidencyof the Father of Modern Zionism, the late Theodore Herzl."Victor E. Marsdenwho translated into English "The Protocols of the LearnedElders of Zion" which Sergyei Nilus published in Russia in1905"About a year ago a representativeof the [U.S.] Department of Justice submitted to me a copy ofthe manuscript of "The Jewish Peril" by Professor [Sergei]Nilus, and asked for my opinion of the work. He said that themanuscript was a translation of a Russian book published in 1905which was later suppressed. The manuscript was supposed to contain'protocols' of the Wise Men of Zion and was supposed to have beenread by Dr. Herzl at a secret conference of the Zionist Congressat Basle. He expressed the opinion that the work was probablythat of Dr. Theodor Herzl... He said that some American Senatorswho had seen the manuscript were amazed to find that so many yearsago a scheme had been elaborated by the Jews which is now beingcarried out, and that Bolshevism had been planned years ago byJews who sought to destroy the world."Herman Bernstein, "AmericanHebrew", June 25, 1920"Whosoever was the mindthat conceived [the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion] possesseda knowledge of human nature, of history and of statecraft whichis dazzling in its brilliant completeness, and terrible in theobjects to which it turns its powers. Neither a madman nor anintentional criminal, but more likely a super-mind mastered bydevotion to a people and a faith could be the author, if indeedone mind alone conceived them. It is too terribly real for fiction,too well sustained for speculation, too deep in its knowledgeof the secret springs of life for forgery."Dearborn Independent, July 10,1920"Only force conquers inpolitical affairs, especially if it be concealed in the talentsessential to statesmen. Violence must be the principle, and cunningand make-believe the rule for governments... Therefore we mustnot stop at bribery, deceit and treachery when they should servetowards the attainment of our end. In politics one must know howto seize the property of others without hesitation if by it wesecure submission and sovereignty."Protocol 1 - Protocols of the LearnedElders of Zion"We have set up the aristocracyof our educated class headed by the aristocracy of money. Thequalifications for this aristocracy we have established in wealth."Protocol 1 - Protocols of the LearnedElders of Zion"It is essential to teachin national schools ... the division of men into classes and conditions...the peoples will voluntarily submit to authority and accept suchposition as is appointed them in the State."Protocol 3 - Protocols of the LearnedElders of Zion"We shall create by allthe secret subterranean methods open to us and with the aid ofgold, which is all in our hands, a universal economic crisis wherebywe shall throw upon the streets whole mobs of workers simultaneouslyin all the countries of Europe. These mobs will rush delightedlyto shed the blood of those whom, in the simplicity of their ignorance,they have envied from their cradles, and whose property they willthen be able to loot."Protocol 3 - Protocols of the LearnedElders of Zion"We shall create an intensifiedcentralisation of government in order to grip in our hands allthe forces of the community. We shall regulate mechanically allthe actions of the political life of our subjects by new laws... and our kingdom will be distinguished by a despotism of suchmagnificent proportions as to be at any moment and in every placein a position to wipe out any goyim who oppose us by deed or word."Protocol 5 - Protocols of the LearnedElders of Zion"We have set one againstanother ... religious and race hatreds... We are too strong -there is no evading our power. The nations cannot come to evenan inconsiderable private agreement without our secretly havinga hand in it."Protocol 5 - Protocols of the LearnedElders of Zion"[The] engine of the machineryof States is - Gold. The science of political economy inventedby our learned elders has for long past been giving royal prestigeto capital... Capital, if it is to co-operate untrammelled, mustbe free to establish a monopoly of industry and trade."Protocol 5 - Protocols of the LearnedElders of Zion"In order to put publicopinion into our hands we must bring it into a state of bewilderment,by giving expression, from all sides, to so many contradictoryopinions and for such a length of time as will suffice to makethe goyim lose their heads in the labyrinth and come to see thatthe best thing is to have no opinion of any kind in matters political."Protocol 5 - Protocols of the LearnedElders of Zion"We shall so wear downthe goyim, that they will be compelled to offer us internationalpower, of a nature that, by its position, will enable us, withoutany violence, gradually to absorb all the state forces of theworld and to form a Super-Government."Protocol 5 - Protocols of the LearnedElders of Zion"We shall soon begin toestablish huge monopolies, reservoirs of colossal riches, uponwhich, even large fortunes of the goyim will depend."Protocol 6 - Protocols of the LearnedElders of Zion"What we want is that industryshould drain off from the land both labour and capital and, bymeans of speculation, transfer into our hands all the money ofthe world."Protocol 6 - Protocols of the LearnedElders of Zion"The intensification ofarmaments, the increase of police forces - are all essential ...that there should be, in all the States of the world; besidesourselves, only the masses of the proletariat; a few millionairesdevoted to our interests; police and soldiers."Protocol 7 - Protocols of the LearnedElders of Zion"We must create ferments;discords and hostility. Therein we gain a double advantage. Inthe first place we keep in check all countries, for they willknow that we have the power, whenever we like, to create disordersor to restore order. All these countries are accustomed to seein us an indispensable force of coercion. In the second place,by our intrigues we shall tangle up all the threads which we havestretched into the cabinets of all States; by means of the political;by economic treaties, or loan obligations."Protocol 7 - Protocols of the LearnedElders of Zion"We must be in a positionto respond to every act of opposition; by war with the neighboursof that country which dares to oppose us: but if these neighboursshould also venture to stand collectively together against us,then we must offer resistance by a universal war."Protocol 7 - Protocols of the LearnedElders of Zion"The Press which, withfew exceptions that may be disregarded, is already, entirely inour hands."Protocol 7 - Protocols of the LearnedElders of Zion"We shall surround ourgovernment with a whole world of economists. That is the reasonwhy economic sciences form the principal subject of the teachinggiven to the Jews. Around us again will be a whole constellationof bankers; industrialists; capitalists and - the main thing -millionaires; because in substance, everything will be settledby the question of figures."Protocol 8 - Protocols of the LearnedElders of Zion"We shall put [responsibleposts] in the hands of persons whose past and reputation are suchthat between them and the people lies an abyss, persons who, incase of disobedience to our instructions, must face criminal chargesor disappear - this in order to make them defend our intereststo their last gasp."Protocol 8 - Protocols of the LearnedElders of Zion"Our Super-Government subsistsin extra-legal conditions, which are described, in the acceptedterminology, by the energetic and forcible word - Dictatorship.... We rule by force of will ... the weapons in our hands arelimitless ambitions; burning greediness; merciless vengeance;hatreds and malice."Protocol 9 - Protocols of the LearnedElders of Zion"Division into fractionalparties has given them into our hands, for, in order to carryon a contested struggle one must have money, and the money isall in our hands."Protocol 9 - Protocols of the LearnedElders of Zion"We have got our handsinto the administration of the law; into the conduct of elections;into the press; into liberty of the person; but principally intoeducation and training as being the cornerstones of a free existence."Protocol 9 - Protocols of the LearnedElders of Zion"We shall arrange electionsin favour of such presidents as have in their past some dark,undiscovered stain ... then they will be trustworthy agents forthe accomplishment of our plans, out of fear of revelations andfrom the natural desire of everyone who has attained power, namely,the retention of the privileges, advantages and honour connectedwith the office of president.... We shall invest the president with the right of declaringa state of war.... The president will, at our discretion, interpret the senseof such of the existing laws as admit of various interpretation;he will further annul them when we indicate to him the necessityto do so."Protocol 10 - Protocols of theLearned Elders of Zion"We shall obtain the powerof destroying, little by little, step by step, all ... to preparefor the transition to an imperceptible abolition of every kindof constitution, and then the time is come to turn every formof government into our despotism.The recognition of our despot may also come before the destructionof the constitution; the moment for this recognition will comewhen the peoples, utterly wearied by the irregularities and incompetence- a matter which we shall arrange for - of their rulers, willclamour."Protocol 10 - Protocols of theLearned Elders of Zion"It is indispensable, totrouble, in all countries, the people's relations with their governments,so as to utterly exhaust humanity with dissension; hatred; struggle;envy and even by the use of torture; by starvation; by the inoculationof disease; by want, so that the goyim see no other course opento them than to take refuge in our complete sovereignty in moneyand in all else.But if we give the nations of the world a breathing-space themoment we long for is hardly likely ever to arrive."Protocol 10 - Protocols of theLearned Elders of Zion"The freedom of the Press;the right of association; freedom of conscience; the voting principle;and many anothers must disappear for ever from the memory of man,or undergo a radical alteration the day after the promulgationof the new constitution. It is only at the moment that we shallbe able at once to announce all our orders.... What we want is that from the first moment of its promulgation,while the peoples of the world are still stunned by the accomplishedfact of the revolution, still in a condition of terror and uncertainty,they should recognise once and for all that we are so strong,so inexpugnable, so super-abundantly filled with power, that inno case shall we take any account of them, and so far from payingany attention to their opinions or wishes, we are ready and ableto crush with irresistible power all expression or manifestationthereof at every moment and in every place, that we have seizedat once everything we wanted and shall in no case divide our powerwith them ... Then in fear and trembling they will close theireyes to everything, and be content to await what will be the endof it all.... We shall keep promising them [the people] to give back allthe liberties we have taken away as soon as we have quelled theenemies of peace and tamed all parties. It is not worth to sayanything about how long a time they will be kept waiting for thisreturn of their liberties."Protocol 11 - Protocols of theLearned Elders of Zion"We shall saddle and bridle[the press] with a tight curb.... Among those making attacks upon us will also be organs establishedby us, but they will attack exclusively points that we have pre-determinedto alter.Not a single announcement will reach the public without our control.Even now this is already being attained by us inasmuch as allnews items are received by a few agencies, in whose offices theyare focused from all parts of the world. These agencies will thenbe already entirely ours and will give publicity only to whatwe dictate to them.... Literature and journalism are two of the most important educativeforces, and therefore our government will become proprietor ofthe majority of the journals. This will neutralise the injuriousinfluence of the privately-owned press and will put us in possessionof a tremendous influence upon the public mind."Protocol 12 - Protocols of theLearned Elders of Zion"All journals publishedby us will be of the most opposite, in appearance, tendenciesand opinions, thereby creating confidence in us and bringing overto us quite unsuspicious opponents, who will thus fall into ourtrap and be rendered harmless.... All our newspapers will be of all possible complexions - aristocratic,republican, revolutionary, even anarchical - for so long, of course,as the constitution exists... they will have a hundred hands,and every one of them will have a finger on any one of the publicopinions as required. When a pulse quickens these hands will leadopinion in the direction of our aims, for an excited patient losesall power of judgement and easily yields to suggestion. Thosefools who will think they are repeating the opinion of a newspaperof their own camp will be repeating our opinion or any opinionthat seems desirable for us. In the vain belief that they arefollowing the organ of their party they will, in fact, followthe flag which we hang out for them.... We shall be in a position, as from time to time may be required,to excite or to tranquillise the public mind on political questions,to persuade or to confuse, printing now truth, now lies, factsor their contradictions, according as they may be well or illreceived."Protocol 12 - Protocols of theLearned Elders of Zion"In order that the massesthemselves may not guess what they are about, we further distractthem with amusements; games; pastimes; passions; people's palaces.Soon we shall begin through the press to propose competitionsin art; in sport of all kinds: these interests will finally distracttheir minds from questions in which we should find ourselves compelledto oppose them. Growing more and more dis-accustomed to reflectand form any opinions of their own, people will begin to talkin the same tone as we, because we alone shall be offering themnew directions for thought."Protocol 13 - Protocols of theLearned Elders of Zion"How far-seeing were ourlearned elders in ancient times, when they said, that to attaina serious end, it behoves not to stop at any means or to countthe victims sacrificed for the sake of that end... We have notcounted the victims of the seed of the goy cattle, though we havesacrificed many of our own, but for that we have now already giventhem such a position on the Earth as they could not even havedreamed of. The comparatively small numbers of the victims, fromthe number of ours, have preserved our nationality from destruction."Protocol 15 - Protocols of theLearned Elders of Zion"When comes the time ofour overt rule, the time to manifest its blessing, we shall remakeall legislatures, all our laws will be brief, plain, stable, withoutany kind of interpretations, so that anyone will be in a positionto know them perfectly. The main feature which will run rightthrough them is submission to orders."Protocol 15 - Protocols of theLearned Elders of Zion"All the money in the worldwill be concentrated in our hands."Protocol 15 - Protocols of theLearned Elders of Zion"Our government will havethe appearance of a patriarchal paternal guardianship on the partof the ruler. Our own nation and our subjects will discern inhis person a father caring for their every need... They will thenbe so thoroughly imbued with the thought that it is impossiblefor them to dispense with this wardship and guidance; if theywish to live in peace and quiet; that they will acknowledge theautocracy of our ruler.... They will be rejoiced that we have regulated everything intheir lives, as is done by wise parents who desire to train childrenin the cause of duty and submission. When the King of Israel sets upon his sacred head the crown offeredhim by Europe he will become patriarch of the world."Protocol 15 - Protocols of theLearned Elders of Zion"We shall emasculate ...the universities, by re-educating them in a new direction. Theirofficials and professors will be prepared for their business bydetailed secret programmes of action from which they will notwith immunity diverge, not by one iota. They will be appointedwith especial precaution, and will be so placed as to be whollydependent on the Government.... When we are in power we shall remove every kind of disturbingsubject from the course of education and shall make, out of theyouth, obedient children of authority.... We shall erase from the memory of men all facts of previouscenturies which are undesirable to us.We shall abolish every kind of freedom of instruction."Protocol 16 - Protocols of theLearned Elders of Zion"We shall arrange a simulationof disorders, or some manifestation of discontents finding expressionthrough the co-operation of good speakers. Round these speakerswill assemble all who are sympathetic to his utterances. Thiswill give us the pretext for domiciliary perquisitions (diligentsearches) and surveillance on the part of our servants from amongthe number of the goyim police."Protocol 18 - Protocols of theLearned Elders of Zion"Economic crises have beenproduced by us for the goyim by no other means than the withdrawalof money from circulation."Protocol 20 - Protocols of theLearned Elders of Zion"The gold standard hasbeen the ruin of the States which adopted it, for it has not beenable to satisfy the demands for money, the more so that we haveremoved gold from circulation as possible."Protocol 20 - Protocols of theLearned Elders of Zion"Loans hang like a swordof Damocles over the heads of rulers, who, instead of taking fromtheir subjects by a temporary tax, come begging with outstretchedpalm of our bankers. Foreign loans are leeches which there isno possibility of removing from the body of the State, until theyfall off of themselves, or the State flings them off."Protocol 20 - Protocols of theLearned Elders of Zion"The goyim ... have beenborrowing from us, with payment of interest, without ever thinkingthat all the same these very moneys, plus an addition for paymentof interest, must be got by them from their own State pocketsin order to settle up with us. What could have been simpler thanto take the money they wanted from their own people?But it is a proof of the genius of our chosen mind that we havecontrived to present the matter of loans to them in such a lightthat they have even seen in them an advantage for themselves."Protocol 20 - Protocols of theLearned Elders of Zion"Our race is the MasterRace. We are divine gods on this planet. We are as different fromthe inferior races as they are from insects. In fact, comparedto our race, other races are beasts and animals, cattle at best.Other races are considered as human excrement. Our destiny isto rule over the inferior races. Our earthly kingdom will be ruledby our leader with a rod of iron. The masses will lick our feetand serve us as our slaves"Israeli prime Minister MenachemBegin in a speech to the Knesset [Israeli Parliament]"We Jews, we are the destroyersand will remain the destroyers. Nothing you can do will meet ourdemands and needs. We will forever destroy because we want a worldof our own."Maurice Samuels in his book "YouGentiles"
