LET'S BOYCOTT AIG! THAT WILL SHOW THEM -- NOT
Hi Mr. Griffin.
You and I and a lot of other people who see what’s going on are frustrated that we can’t get that “Silent Majority” to take action. Part of the epiphany for me was realizing people don’t want to take on the government; that’s too big! And they wonder how can we be effective against the federal government?

I remember when Enron busted, I thought “They’re just trying to follow the example they see with Big Brother. They just can’t print up money anytime they want, like the Feds can.” This is similar; AIG is trying to swagger around as though they have the exemptions of the federal government, but they don’t!

I think this is the perfect platform to start giving people something they can see doing something about. Let’s take on a corporation that’s using and abusing us. We can do something about that. Spread the word for people to drop their AIG coverage; that’s something we can do. And we can cripple them with this!

It’s the first step. When we get people riled up about this, and pleased with a success, then we can start going for other corporations, build up that fierce lion’s roar, let the politicians know we mean business and then start combating what they’re trying to pull off. We’ve got to mobilize the masses, and this looks like a good opportunity to do that.

So I ask you to please help me out with this. Let me know what you think about the email, the website at www.AndWhatHappensNext.com and ways to get this word out. I need your help and hope you can see the potential. I hope to hear from you soon.

For freedom’s sake,
Mark, 2009 Mar 26

REPLY:

Hello Mark.
Thank you for your spirited letter. I like the intention of your plan but, in my view, it lacks the germ of success because it focuses on WHAT must be done instead of HOW to do it. It assumes a continuation of the old strategies of "mobilizing the masses," writing to your Congressman, and conducting boycotts (none of which have worked in the past) and focuses instead on the goal and the value of public indignation.

My view is from the other perspective. There are many things that should be done, and most of them have great merit, but the indignant public lacks the ability to do any of them because the POWER to accomplish them now lies entirely in the hands of collectivists and elitists who oppose these reforms. We are like prison inmates demanding better food and softer mattresses. Regardless of the merits of our cause or the numbers in our ranks or how loudly we bang our tin cups against the bars, the warden and guards care little about our preferences. We may be justified in our demands, but they have the guns.

Modern politicians care little about the lion’s roar so long as the lion remains securely caged within the two-party system.

We cannot cripple AIG by rejecting their insurance. AIG is already crippled. That's why they requested a bailout, which their cronies in Congress dutifully granted. Boycotting AIG would, in my view, be a "feel-good" project because it might give participants the sensation that they were striking back, but if that is all they did, their impact on real reform would be zero.

I admire the passion and determination of your intentions and I would like to see that channeled into the Freedom Force strategy of capturing control of the power centers of society, including Congress. Complaints, demonstrations, boycotts, and petitions mean nothing in the democratic dictatorship we now have. Acquiring power is the ONLY path to escape the New World Order.

Freedom Force awaits you here.

HELP STOP BILL TO OUTLAW ORGANIC FARMING
I am a subscriber to the Unfiltered News newsletter. I recently received the email below that outlines proposed legislation to outlaw organic farming in the USA. I will keep my email short as all the information you need is outlined in the email, but basically if you could pass the information on to anyone you believe may need to know or could help oppose this bill, it would be a very good idea to do so. Here is the email.
With all good wishes,
Sally Hamilton

Dear Friends,
The US House and Senate are about (in a week and a half) to vote on bill that will OUTLAW ORGANIC FARMING (bill HR 875).
There is an enormous rush to get this into law within the next 2 weeks before people realize what is happening. Main backer and lobbyist is Monsanto – chemical and genetic engineering giant corporation (and Cargill, ADM, and about 35 other related agri-giants).

This bill will require organic farms to use specific fertilizers and poisonous insect sprays dictated by the newly formed agency to "make sure there is no danger to the public food supply". This will include backyard gardens that grow food only for a family and not for sales.
If this passes then NO more heirloom clean seeds but only Monsanto genetically altered seeds that are now showing up with unexpected diseases in humans. The name on this outrageous food plan is Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009 (bill HR 875).
Here is a video on the subject.  And another one.

PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG TO ALL CONCERNED ON YOUR MAILING LISTS & CALL YOUR SENATE REPRESENTETIVES TODAY! The best thing to do is go to this web site.
All you have to do is put in your zip and it will give you your congressperson and how to get in touch with them.

When you call their office, politely and respectfully tell them you are calling to express your views on HR 875. Tell them your views, they'll take your name and address and pass your comments along to the congressperson. Thank you all for taking such quick action on this important threat to our health and wellness.

DOES PUBLIC REALLY CARE ABOUT 9/11 SECRETS?
I did not bother watching the recent linked 9/11 Truth video, so I do not know its thesis. What I do feel though is the walls closing in on what we think to know as liberty. I at one time looked exhaustively at the 9/11 Truth evidence along with the counter-evidence. Working in the intelligence career field and being involved in the 'classified' world has revealed many truths; one of them is that there are hardly any secrets worth knowing that are actually secret.

I am disappointed that 9/11 Truthers continue to cloud what needs to be done. Do you think that if the so-called Truth were to come out, that the public at-large were to even lift its head? People, as individuals, are asleep. The incredible nature of 9/11 Truth only tunes out otherwise capable and liberty loving people.

IS THERE A CONNECTION BETWEEN SOLAR MAX AND THE 2012 DOOMSDAY PROPHECIES?
I've been researching the upcoming solar maximum and have hit nothing but dead-ends. NASA says they're not concerned about it but they and ESA are spending billions to observe the solar phenomenon. I'm aware of Carrington Event and what happened in Canada from single solar flares. What I'm wondering is if HAARP plays a part in this and if it is coincidence that Mayan calendar ends when solar max is reaching its peak? My concern is about the holes in the ionosphere put there by HAARP and the fragmented magnetosphere. Also, adding the polar shift and the passage through the elliptical plane' I'm beginning to see some relevance to the 2012 Doomsday prophecies.

ARE THERE DOTS BETWEEN AIG AND 9/11?
No one mentions that AIG was the insurance company that insured the Twin Towers SPECIFICALLY against terrorism a month or so before 9/11 happened, and then paid off on the towers' collapses TWICE based on a friendly lawsuit between friends Larry Silverstein (who owned the Towers) and his buddy Maurice Greenberg, (CEO/owner of AIG) ????

So it would seem that AIG is right in the middle of things---and has been for some time. Anybody care to spend a bit of time connecting THOSE dots?????

READER SAYS ELITIST AGENDA IS "OTHER-WORLDY"
I recall reading a few interesting points made by another reader, Terrence, in the Jan 16th issue of the Reality Zone newsletter. The person's question was basically, why are the elites going through all the trouble to reduce the world's population? The easy answer is, in my opinion, that the elites really don't quite control everything just yet. It seems they want absolute total control over absolutely everything, which they clearly don't have yet -- otherwise I wouldn't be able to write this message to you. The camera in my room would alert the government of my activity and they'd immediately turn off my microchip -- if I'm even allowed to own a computer as a slave.

They don't control everything yet. They don't own all the land yet. They want it all. But... I do have to agree with Terrence nevertheless. His/her words were:

"It seems the agenda of the elite is not entirely clear. There seems to be something more underneath the surface that we haven't discovered yet. The agenda almost seems other-worldly."

I believe this statement is very insightful. Researchers such as David Icke, Jim Marrs, and others have talked about this. I too think there is something other worldly to the elite's agenda. With that said, I wanted to share an article with you. I don't know how much of the author's opinion is true -- but anything is possible and we should not take it lightly. Upon reading his web site and corresponding with him, he seems like a knowledgeable and very thoughtful person. Here is the link to the article... http://montalk.net/alien/35/synopsis-of-the-alien-master-plan

The Montalk web site discusses topics that most folks in the freedom movement seem to ignore. But if we have enemies beyond the elites who we know, we certainly need to know about them. Tom Montalk outlines the dark hierarchy as follows...

Demonic overlords (5D negative)
Nordic occult overlords (lower 5D negative)
Nordic crusaders and Mantis beings (upper 4D)
Lower demonic minions (astral)
Reptilian Minions and other negative aliens (lower 4D)
Grays, which are genetically engineered robots (semi 4D/3D)
Upper Illuminati (occult, possessed, secret society people) (3D, a little 4D)
Shadow Government (underground bases, ultra-black ops military)
Lower Illuminati (political elite, Bilderbergers, etc…)
Open secret societies (freemasons and so on)
State / local government, corporations, university systems, etc….

I don't know how much of this is accurate but I thought you and other readers may find this of interest. Thanks for reading my letter.
Sincerely,

              =====================================

BAH, BAH ... MOO, MOO
This is something I thought about and just wanted to share: The Herd.

We often call those who either are not aware of or think that everything is ok concerning what is going on in our political environment as sheep (sheeple). There are more animals within the fence than just sheep though.

Let's picture a rather large pasture. As we view this pasture we see that there are lots of sheep but there are also many cows. Then we notice that the pasture is fenced in with barbed wire. Most of the sheep don't even realize there is a fence at all, some see the fence but think everything is ok because after all they have food and water and they are able to do everything they want to do within the confines of the fence. The sheep go about their business everyday unaffected or not caring about their situation; bah, bah.

The cows on the other hand don't like the sheep being in their pasture and see them as being quite worthless for the most part. The cows see the fence and know that they are fenced in; they don't like this. The cows see over the fence where there are greener pastures, they want to be there. They see that the pasture is getting smaller, the fence is being moved inward restricting their grazing and the sheep are also bothering them more. Every once in a while a cow or two push against the fence to test its limits but they won't do more than that out of fear that something bad may happen to them; they may get hurt by the fence. Very rarely the fence breaks and a few cows get out and feel free but only to be rounded up and put back into the pasture; these cows are considered trouble makers and are shunned by all the sheep and many of the cows. The cows complain about their situation almost all the time but never really do anything valuable to get out of their dilemma, after all they're cows they've been bred to be obedient and not think too much. The cows go about their business everyday not liking their situation but unable to affect change; after all they're cows; moo, moo.

A VERY SAD THANK YOU
Mr. Griffin.
I'm re-reading your book. You foretold the current economic crisis exactly as it has come to be! You scripted the cover-ups and lies being told by politicians and the Federal Reserve to the letter. As you pointed out, anyone that had read and understood anything about United States and world history could see this coming.

Thank you. But its is a very sad thank you. My wife and I saved and planned for our retirement. We are now watching Washington steal our hard earned retirement fund. If Obama and cronies have their way we will be bailing out Europe......Again!! The Fabians have been very patient.

A LETTER FROM FEDERAL PRISON
Hello Ed.
You can't imagine how much I enjoy reading your book [The Creature from Jekyll Island] and loaning the well read and battered copy that I have to others who are fascinated by it. Please also put me on your mailing list and send any newsletters that you publish. After all I'm serving 17 years in prison for trying to spread your message about the Federal Reserve System, which I'm proud to do so because everything in your book is 100% true, and every American needs to read it.

I laugh every day as I watch what is going on in this nation and I know why it's happening, while those in Washington refuse to wake up and change their ways!

At the present, taxpayers are spending $25,000 per year to lock me up, which is the first time in my life the government ever spent a dime to take care of me ... and they certainly never did anything to help me; so, at 61 years of age, I feel like that's better than living on $500 per month Social Security IF I had spent 40 years paying into that Socialist program, which I didn't. In a way, making the government spend 4 times more than they would pay me to live on Social Security is some kind of justice, after all. If life will not allow me to live in peace with those morons who simply will not let people live the American Dream, I'd rather be here than on the outside worrying about all the things the tax payers are having to worry about today.

I'm still trying to educate as many Americans as possible ... even if they are locked up. Someday these folks will be out of this place and they will at least know the truth.

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)

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)
