IS THE BULL MARKET OVER FOR GOLD AND SILVER?
This is the greatest Silver and Gold buying opportunity of all time, or is
it the end of a bull market?
The bull market is far from over. To say the precious metals bull market is
over is as foolish as saying there was never a bull market in the first
place. It's a documented fact, throughout history, all bull markets last
14-19 years. This bull market has been going since 2001. So we still have at
least, another SEVEN years to go. Commentators, who believe that the
commodity bubble in silver and gold has popped, don't understand what drives
them in the first place.
Remember, if the fundamental reasons that drive a market don't change... The
market direction has No reason to change. (More)

PRAISE AND VALIDATION FOR THE VIDEO:
KATANGA; THE UNTOLD STORY OF UN BETRAYAL
The following comments from Isabelle Iserbyt are in response to the
re-release from The Reality Zone of an older video documentary entitled
Katanga; The Untold Story of UN Betrayal. It can be viewed on the Internet
here.
I served as secretary to United States Ambassador Douglas MacArthur in
Brussels while the Katanga atrocity was taking place (1960-1963). I recall
well the tragic story regarding Katanga related in telegrams coming in from
Elizabethville. I dreaded going to work knowing that my inbox would be full
of cables relating news of the massacre and rape by UN troops of innocent
civilians, Katangese as well as Belgian. My hatred of the United Nations
began at this time and continues to this day.
Ignorance regarding the role of the UN in enslaving all of mankind is almost
universal. We can thank the UNESCO-controlled education system for that. For
instance, how many people realize that the Vietnam War was a United Nations
war fought under the auspices of the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization? The
people who so correctly opposed the Vietnam War don't know it was a UN War.
If they did, would they continue to strongly support the UN? And what of the
role of the UN in the Middle East debacle? And the role of the United States
military in carrying out the UN's agenda worldwide?
I pray fervently that this documentation will reach the widest audience
worldwide. It is vital for all the world's people to view this devastatingly
tragic film in order to understand how their country will be next on the
list, when and if it resists becoming part of the New World Order under the
UN. Tshombe's own account of what happened in his country (My Fifteen Years
in Government, 1967, 103 pages) can be viewed at
http://www.americandeception.com.
If only those receiving your email would take action by supporting
legislation to get the United States out of the United Nations: H.R. 1146,
the American Sovereignty Restoration Act.

=======================================
IS WORLD CONFLICT REAL OR ORCHESTRATED?
Dear Ed,
I have read your book The Creature from Jekyll Island. As a result I
obtained a fairly clear understanding of just how the United States was
“taken over” by certain powerful financial entities in circa 1913. I also
have a fairly clear understanding of the aims and actions of the, for want
of a better characterization, “Rhodesian Round Table” group, and its various
subsidieries (e.g. CFR-RIIA, “Bilderbergers”, Trilateralists, “Illuminati”,
Skull and Bones, et al.). For some time I had concluded that these entities
constituted a unified front dedicated to creating a one world or global
totalitarian state. And, that one of the main goals of this group was the
destruction of the American middle class because they see this class as
being one of the larger impediments to their goals.
This is apparently born out by the current economic situation in the United
States which does indeed appear to be the result of a concerted effort on
the part of certain powerful financial entities to destroy the American
economy. Such a destruction of the economy would have the greatest negative
effect upon the middle class. Then, presumably, the way would be open for
some sort of “North American Union”, wherein the sovereign nations of
Canada, United States and Mexico would be financially merged. For, if your
goal is to eventually have a one world state, you have to first create
smaller regional unions, such as the already extant European Union, then at
some later point in time you merge those unions, et cetera.
However, given that the above analysis is true, I find myself at a loss to
understand certain aspects of global geo-politics. I thought for some time
about who I could ask who might have answers to some of my questions, and
decided that you were probably the best person; especially since you wrote
the book that started my understanding of these situations! (and also due to
our joint membership in Freedom Force).
If there is a unified concerted effort on the part of one group of powerful
entities, then why do we see such diversity of forces? Let me explain. I can
see one group of powerful entities at work in the “West”, i.e. the United
States and its North and South American vassal states, Great Britain and its
Commonwealth, and the European allies. This group appears to be trying to
dominate the former Soviet Union by encouraging its break-up, co-opting many
of the former republics (the ‘Stans, Georgia, Ukraine, et al.) as well as
the former Warsaw Pact countries (esp. thru the Missile Defense system in
Poland and Czech Republic – more of which below). It also seems to be trying
to control the sources of petroleum which would give it enormous political
and economic power (hence Iraq, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, the Gulf States,
and the current threat to Iran.).
So far, so good. But! the way that the western ‘powers-that-be’ are going
about this goal seems to me to be counter-productive. They appear to be
pushing Russia into a corner. They are also threatening China. Russia is a
powerful entity in its own right with a nuclear arsenal and the ability to
project it inter-continentally; it is also proud of its sovereignty, i.e.
“Mother Russia”). China is another powerful entity because of its economic
power, especially its ability to bring down the U.S. economy any time it
chooses.
Now, while “bringing down the U.S economy” might fit very well into the
plans of the western ‘powers-that-be’, it would, at the same time, severely
curtail the projection of American’s military power. Also, pushing Russia
into a corner runs the risk of a nuclear exchange, and such an event would
destroy a lot more than just the U.S. economy!
So, it has seemed to me that there is not such a monolithic ‘western power
entity’ afterall; that there is more than one group in positions of power.
And, that a loss of control over one of these groups, the so-called
“neo-cons”, may have occurred (ala Hitler)? Otherwise, why would we have
seen one group in the power structure, George H.W. Bush and James Baker,
attempt to rein in another group consisting of Richard Cheney and his
neo-cons via that Iraq Study Group? Also there may be another separate
group, traditionally aligned with the Democratic Party, which, while CFR all
the way, do not agree with the methods and aims of the neo-cons (I am
thinking of Brzezinski in particular).
This decision to put “defensive missiles” in place in Poland is very
dangerous. Have, perhaps, the neo-cons miscalculated? Did they think Russia
would not stand up for itself? that Putin would acquiese indefinitely in
their attempts to encircle the Mother Land? Am I wrong in thinking that the
“enemy of my enemy is my friend”? and therefore that in some strange way we
who want to preserve our freedom here in the United States, should be
rooting for Putin?
So, I guess what I am wondering is this: If you want to destroy the United
States financially, in order to move one step closer to its loss of
sovereignty, and hence its inclusion into this one world state, aren’t you
at the same time destroying its military pre-eminence? and hence thwarting
your own aims in other spheres?
As I suspect you’ll see, I have been thinking about this apparent
contradiction for over a year and it took me this many words to communicate
it. I know you are a busy man and I do apologize for the length of my
letter. I know of no one else who might know the answers. Others I have
spoken to just do not know; they seem to lack the breadth of experience and
knowledge.
Hoping to hear from you and thanking you in advance,
I am, sincerely yours,
Frank Breckenridge
Hello Frank Breckenridge.
I am flattered by your confidence in my ability to unravel the mystery you
so aptly described. I will have to disappoint you by confessing that I do
not have answers to all your questions. It is obvious that the world is
divided between two opposing forces of collectivism (Leninists vs.
Rhodesians) but the question is whether these forces are truly independent
of each other or are they controlled from deep behind the scenes by a common
directorate that orchestrates perpetual conflict as a means of conditioning
society through perpetual fear. I cannot tell you that I know the answer but
I must admit that the second answer explains more of what we see in the
world than the first.

THE LAND OF THE FLEA AND THE HOME OF THE SLAVE
The following comment is in response to an article dated August 14
headlined: "US: Military advocates use of mind control and brain-altering
drugs to make soldiers want to fight."
That is not a new concept. In the 1950s, the military tested a substance
termed 'BZ' on soldiers who were not advised beforehand of the 'possible'
consequences of consumption. BZ is a psychoactive substance which military
manuals described as '...at least 100 times more potent than LSD.' One
exposed soldier jumped to his death from a window. Can experimentation on
unwitting 'members of the workforce' be far behind? One last thing: Note my
use of the Bushism, 'members of the workforce.' We are no longer 'citizens.'
Welcome to the Land Of The Flea and the Home Of The Slave.

SOVEREIGNTY MEANS OWNERSHIP OF PROPERTY
I am concerned that there can be no national remedy for the collectivism
you so correctly describe without first there being a clear and definitive
understanding of what exactly individualism is that withstands judicial and
legislative spin. Exclusivity of Property Right is the key to that
understanding. and guess what -- the vast majority of Americans have no
idea what that means. In my opinion, referencing "national sovereignty"
without limiting that by individual sovereignty over property has a
tendency to further the collectivist goal.
Here is my essay on this
topic. I hope your readers find it of value.

==========================================
IS THE LACK OF DOMESTIC OIL PRODUCTION GOOD?
There has been much discussion lately concerning domestic oil production as
a result of high and higher oil prices. Many political and economic leaders
seem to believe that domestic oil production would curb the rise in oil
prices in the near future if we would simply drill for oil here in the U.S.
As it is right now, we purchase a large amount of our energy needs from
outside the country. We exchange our dollars for their oil. We get the oil.
They get the funny money. Thus we are shielded from our own inflation.
It's my opinion that if domestic oil production would ever be granted on a
large scale by Congress, wouldn't this create more inflation by keeping our
dollars in the country? Does my theory have a leg to stand on?
Sincerely,
Wm. Tennant,
2008 Aug 7
MR. GRIFFIN'S REPLY:
It’s difficult to predict the effect because there are so many interrelated
factors, including the high cost of domestic oil caused by massive
limitations imposed by the environmentalist movement. A large proportion of
the money we pay to foreign oil producers is funneled immediately to the
multinational oil companies who have contracts to process the oil and
deliver it. Some of the largest of those, of course, are U.S. based,
although that does not guarantee that the money would return to America.
It sometimes is theorized that exporting our fiat money for valuable
resources and goods is advantageous to America because foreigners get
worthless paper while we get things of value. I do not agree with this,
however, because a great deal of that money eventually does comes back home
to buy equities in American corporations and banks, real estate, mineral
resources, and political influence. Eventually those who received our
dollars end up owning huge chunks of America.
When all is considered, it is my opinion that it would be to our clear
advantage if we were oil independent and once again had strong domestic
industry. History has shown that those who produce, rule. Those who do not,
serve.
Being informed is not enough.
Freedom Force awaits you here.

TORTURED IN RED CHINA
The Persecution of Falun Gong
The Testimony of Charles Lee
 Dr. Charles Lee is one of the few political prisoners held in Chinese
prisons who has survived to tell about it. After receiving a medical degree
in China, he came to the U.S. in 1991 for graduate study and soon thereafter
became an American citizen. In 2003 he returned to China to proclaim the
truth about government persecution of Falun Gong, a non-violent, spiritual
movement dedicated to “Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance”. He was
arrested and sentenced to 3 years in prison where he was beaten, force-fed,
and tortured, which he describes in gruesome detail in this video interview
by G. Edward Griffin. On January 21, 2006, Charles was released and returned
to San Francisco. Now he is a leader in the movement that has motivated
millions of members of the Chinese Communist Party to resign. (More)
THE FUTURE OF FOOD:
The Disturbing Truth about Genetically Modified Foods.
 This
documentary is an investigation into unlabeled, genetically engineered foods
that have quietly filled our grocery stores for the past decade. It gives
voice to farmers who are under attack by the corporations that have created
this technology. It shows the grim health implications for an unsus-pecting
population and reveals how multinational corporations are seeking to control

HEALTH MYTHS EXPOSED
 A
former drug-design chemist confronts ten myths that prop up a sick
health-care industry. He shows that FDA-approved drugs are NOT safe and
effective, pharmaceutical drugs do NOT improve the quality of life,
cholesterol is NOT bad for you, and other myths. There is a surprising bonus
in the section on the real cause of obesity and why dieting and appetite
suppressants usually don’t work – and the author shows what does. That
section alone is worth the price. (More)
WASHINGTON YOU'RE
FIRED!
 This
documentary focuses on the growing police state in America and shows how the
Bill of Rights and the Consti-tution literally have been cancelled by recent
legislation and executive orders. With the next crisis, the President will
have power to confiscate all private property including homes, cars, and
money; all commercial property; all means of transportation; and can round
us up into work brigades. Anyone who criticizes can be imprisoned without
legal defense. Presidents now have more dictatorial power than King George
had when Americans fought the Revolutionary War to rid them-selves of him.
This program includes a plan for restoring the Constitution without armed
revolution.

UN-COUNTED
The New Math of American Elections
 This
documentary shows how the elections of 2004 and 2006 were stolen and who
did it. This is not a conspiracy theory. It’s the real thing! The people who
perpetrated this fraud remain in place to do the same thing in 2008 – and
every election thereafter. This has nothing to do with Republicans vs.
Democrats. It is about controlling the electoral process so that the common
citizen will never be able to break the grip of those who control both major
parties. This grip CAN be broken, but only if more Americans become aware
that it exists. That’s where you come in. Acquire this video and show it to
your friends. (More)

North American Union, identical to the creation of the EU. Here are the
