Concepts: #3 Occultism

Occultism is directly harming the credibility of the movement on a daily basis, and it is often the reason people will get dismissed as crazy or a “conspiracy theorist” without even listening to the information.

What is Occultism?

“Occultism is the study of occult or hidden wisdom. To the occultist it is the study of “Truth”, a deeper truth that exists beneath the surface: ‘The truth is always hidden in plain sight’. It can involve such subjects as magic (alternatively… Continue

by Justin Raimondo

Here we are on the verge of a momentous announcement – President Obama’s unveiling of his "comprehensive plan" for escalating the war in Afghanistan – and where is the so-called antiwar movement? Missing in action, as this news report reveals:

“‘There’s this trust that he’s going to fix it all,’ said Shara Esbenshade, 19, a sophomore at Stanford University and member of Stanford Says No To War. She says there are no antiwar marches on her campus, only… Continue

Glenn Beck: "unprincipled propagandist"

Glenn Beck, Community Organizer

The Fox News star’s plunge into political activism is more than rank hypocrisy. It’s the work of an unprincipled propagandist who’s draining his followers’ bank accounts.

Remember when Glenn Beck accused President Obama of winning followers like a totalitarian demagogue, warned against the nefarious tendencies of community organizers, and was himself defended against critics by Jonah Goldberg,… Continue

Obama Quietly Backs PATRIOT Act Provisions

by William Fisher

With the health care debate preoccupying the mainstream media, it has gone virtually unreported that the Barack Obama administration is quietly supporting renewal of provisions of the George W. Bush-era USA PATRIOT Act that civil libertarians say infringe on basic freedoms.

And it is reportedly doing so over the objections of some prominent Democrats.

When a panicky Congress passed the act 45 days after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001,… Continue

The Things I Need In The 21st Century That I Didn't Need Before

There's only one thing...

1. Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.

2. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.

3. I carry a gun because a cop is too heavy.

4. When seconds count, the cops are just minutes away.

5. A reporter did a human-interest piece on the Texas Rangers. The reporter recognized the Colt Model 1911 the Ranger was carrying and asked him 'Why do you carry a 45?'… Continue

I AM Your Worst Enemy - A Short Walk Through The Future

Let's peer into the future...

We move from place to place like locusts devouring everything in our path. My group is armed with light weapons and can develop and follow simple plans of attack. We take what we want by force of arms. We prefer none of our victims survive because that could cause problems for us in the future. You are a… Continue

Making Public Education Unavailable To The Average American

Local community colleges were once absolutely free. When I was in college a course ranged from free to $5o bucks at the local college. I could have completed two years of advanced education for less than $1,000.

That's over. They are removing advanced education from the grasp of most of society to allow not only for a dumbed down population but to provide the labor for the society they're creating. Young people with advanced degrees can't populate the Wal-Mart cash registers all over… Continue

Religion; Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Atheism and the NWO

I don't know everyone on this web site however I have interacted with many of you. I'm older than most all of you. Fortunately for me, in that I won't live much longer (10 years or so at best), I have escaped the coming storm. It won't ever affect me. I'm retired and a non-participant. It's just a slight drizzle now and it will only be a rainfall for many years to come. The actual storm is a long way off.

For those of you that are between 20 and 40 the future holds a myriad of… Continue

Beware of a false flag attack on the US to justify "defensive" war with Iran

A false flag attack is a military term that describes a nation attacking itself disguised as an attack coming from another nation. The purpose of a false flag attack is propaganda for public support for war. The best known historical example is Nazi Germany’s attack on Poland under Operation Himmler.

If US “leadership” is committed to war with Iran, a predictable… Continue
