Would we not shatter it to bits?
Would we not shatter it to bits?
The primary focus of this week’s news is terrorism, so let’s talk about that.
Terrorists attack humans, to be sure, but the real targets are governments. The goal of terrorism is to destabilize governments so their present leaders can be replaced by a new ones who will serve the interests of those who finance, train, and direct the terrorists. Who are they?
Those who direct the terrorists are ruling elites who previously captured the financial and military resources of another government. Although it may look like governments are the culprits, the truth is that terrorism is a tactic of war that is waged by ruling elites who seek to covertly control all governments in what they fondly describe as a New World Order.
In 1982, I produced a documentary called No Place to Hide; The Strategy and Tactics of Terrorism. If you are interested in the origins of this strategy, you will find it there.
It is hard for most people to imagine that there are those who would deliberately destroy for the sake of destruction, itself. However, to bring about regime change, as they now call it, it is said to be necessary to destroy the regimes they do not control.
In Chapter Five of The Creature from Jekyll Island; A Second Look at The Federal Reserve, I described a stained-glass window in the Beatrice Webb House in Surry, England, that once served as the headquarters of the Fabian Socialist Society. The Fabians were (and still are) a highly influential elite that advocates collectivism through legislation. But, first, they say, the public has to be conditioned to want it.
That takes us back to the stained-glass window, which graphically depicts the Fabian strategy. The Fabian Crest is shown in the top, right quadrant and depicts a wolf in sheep’s clothing! Across the bottom, the masses are shown kneeling in adoration of a stack of books advocating socialism.
From the perspective of toppling governments with terrorism and then counter-terrorism, the most startling image depicts George Bernard Shaw and Sidney Web (famous members of the Fabian Society) striking a world globe with hammers!
If you are in doubt about what that means, it is explained directly above the image by the last lines from Omar Khayyam:
Dear love, couldst thou and I with fate conspire
To grasp this sorry scheme of things entire, Would we not shatter it to bits, and then Remould it nearer to the heart’s desire?
There you have it. An international elite (including but not limited to Fabians) has a heart’s desire for a global government based on the model of collectivism. Anything in the way must be shattered to bits so the New World Order can be built upon its ruins.
That’s what most of this week’s news is about.

THIS WEEK IN REVIEW
THIS WEEK IN REVIEW
German authorities covered up the fact that explosives were found during an attempted terror attack at a soccer stadium earlier this week. An eyewitness who was an ambulance driver was told to keep quiet about what he saw. Many attacks, rapes, and other crimes committed by migrants across Europe have gone unreported.

Mali: Six Americans have been recovered from the luxury hotel in Bamako after Islamist militants took 170 hostages on Friday. At least 27 people were reported dead after Malian commandos stormed the hotel, but dozens of people were reported to have escaped or been freed. Reuters 2015 Nov 20 (Story) (Cached)
Minnesota may become the primary center for Islamic radicals in the United States. Across the country, approximately 250 Americans have tried to join ISIS, with 25% of them living in Minneapolis. Many are former refugees from Somalia who settled there in the 1990’s. CBS News 2015 Nov 19 (Story)
US: House leaders have passed a bill requiring stringent vetting procedures to effectively block large numbers of refugees from entering the US. Democrats in the Senate said they will block the bill, and Obama says he will veto it. USA Today 2015 Nov 19 (Story)
Most of the funding for ISIS originates as private and government donations from Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states, such as Qatar and UAE. None of these countries are willing to accept refugees. US Senator, Rand Paul, proposes stopping weapons sales to these countries until they take in refugees. He also says that massive data collection supposedly to vet the refugees is overwhelming and does not work. Fox News 2015 Nov 19 (Story)
‘Frankenfish’ have been approved by the FDA for human consumption. The AquAdvantage salmon is the first GMO animal to appear in US grocery stores. Its DNA has been engineered to make it grow twice as fast through the manipulation of a growth-hormone gene. The US government has prohibited mandatory GMO labeling, but some retailers are planning to label it anyway due to consumer demand. RT 2015 Nov 19 (Story) (Cached)
The co-founder of the National Vaccine Information Center, says that California’s new mandatory vaccine law, requiring 49 different vaccines by age six, was forced on the public after only a handful of measles cases were reported to have originated at Disneyland. Twelve more states are considering following California’s lead by removing non-medical vaccine exemptions. Doctors who speak out about vaccine dangers risk having their medical licenses revoked, and parents of unvaccinated children are hunted down and threatened with lawsuits. NVIC posted 2015 Nov 19 (Story)
US: Four former military drone operators sent an open letter to Obama, Defense Secretary Ashton Carter, and CIA Director John Brennan explaining why the program is morally and strategically wrong. Drone operators quickly become numb to the fact that they are killing innocent civilians and, in many cases, they have no idea who they are killing. They call it cowardly murder. Furthermore, the killings are driving hatred against the US and have become the strongest recruiting aid the Jihadists have. AFP 2015 Nov 19 (Story) (Cached)
Former CIA Director, James Woolsey, blamed Edward Snowden for the Paris attacks and called for Snowden’s death by hanging. His reasoning is that the terrorists used cell phones with secret encryption technology that had been revealed by Snowden. That is an amazing statement that brings up many questions, including how that technology is any different from what civilians have used for years – and what phones now have that capability. This was potentially a big story in itself, but the CNN reporter sat in sympathetic silence and let the statement pass without challenge. CNN 2015 Nov 19 (Story)
Dr. Mark Geier spent ten years at the National Institute of Health and is one of the originators of genetic engineering, but he also is a forceful critic of both the vaccine industry and the CDC. He says they are lying about the dangers of vaccines, and he backs up that statement with more than ample proof. Flu vaccines are ineffective and dangerous but they also are incredibly profitable. YPWIMM posted 2015 Nov 18 (Story)
The latest issue of ISIS’ glossy magazine contains a boast by the terror group that it planted a bomb, concealed in a Schwepps pineapple-juice can, that recently destroyed a Russian airliner. The author of the article says the group originally planned to take down a plane belonging to a nation in the American-led alliance, but changed its mind at the last minute to punish Russia for its attacks against ISIS forces in Syria. The link for the magazine has been removed supposedly to protect the copyright. ZeroHedge 2015 Nov 17 (Story) (Cached)
The US Department of Justice arrested six dietary supplement executives on allegations of covertly using a synthetic component in a product that was labeled as from natural sources. The DOJ said that a larger investigation by multiple federal agencies, including the Pentagon, is underway, with the objective of controlling the supplement industry. [Falsifying product content should be punished, but we do not expect to see any such multi-agency crackdown on false labeling for pharmaceutical drugs.] Reuters 2015 Nov 17 (Story) (Cached)
US: The Republican-led House of Representatives has prepared a resolution calling on Obama to invoke Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty in response to the Paris attacks. Article 5 requires member nations to take military action in response to an attack on another NATO member. The resolution declares that the attacks were carried out by ISIS. The treaty obligation, therefore, is to wage war, not against a nation, but against an organization headquartered in Iraq. [The war hawks are not calling for overthrowing the Iraqi government (they already own it) but, under the pretense of fighting ISIS, they are using the Paris attack as an excuse to wage all-out war against the government of Syria instead. (Token bombing of ISIS targets in Iraq have been rare, generally limited to minor damage easily repaired, and preceded by advance warnings.] But wait a minute! ISIS also is attacking the government of Syria! In other words, ISIS, which was created by and continues to be supported by the CIA, attacked civilians in Paris, allowing the war hawks in Congress to demand full-scale war against the Syrian government, which had nothing to do with the terrorist attacks. Is the public really so brain dead it cannot see through this?] Ron Paul Institute 2015 Nov 17 (Story) (Cached)
France responded to the Paris attacks by bombing more ISIS targets in Syria. As with previous attacks, the damage was relatively minor. This is nothing compared to the massive destruction brought upon the civilian population in Syria in the name of fighting ISIS. CBS News 2015 Nov 16 (Story)
Paris: An official terrorist-attack drill was underway at the same time the real attack took place. [No doubt it is just a coincidence that anti-terrorism drills were underway at 9/11, the July 7 bombing in London, the Boston Marathon bombing, and just about every other terrorist attack that has happened. Only conspiracy theorists would think that anti-terrorist drills would be a perfect cover for people doing strange things if they were thought to be merely part of a safety drill.] Activist Post 2015 Nov 16 (Story) (Cached)
Spain has issued an arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and seven other officials over the 2010 flotilla raid that resulted in the deaths of nine activists. A warrant of this kind is not evidence of guilt nor does it necessarily mean there will be a trial. It merely means that, if Netanyahu visits Spain, he could be detained by police for questioning. Indictment leading to a trial would depend largely on the outcome of that questioning. Christian Science Monitor 2015 Nov 17 (Story) (Cached)
‘Crackas With Attitude’ is a hacking group that is threatening 27 governors who are banning Syrian refugees from settling in their states. Crack, who is the leader of the group, says they will ruin the Governors’ lives by exposing personal information and altering financial transactions. Crack claims to be a high school student who broke into CIA Director John Brennan’s email account and posted online the personal information of thousands of Homeland Security workers and police officers. [There’s something fishy about this. These kids have amazing technical knowledge, have oodles of time to hack multiple government agencies in spite of top-level security, claim to hate the US government, and now threaten 27 Governors who oppose the US government. Considering that Brennan was not greatly inconvenienced by the hacking of his computer and that most of the personal information of Homeland Security workers and police officers likely was already on the Internet, could it be that Crackas is a covert team on the CIA payroll?] InfoWars 2015 Nov 17 (Story) (Cached)
US: In 2014, seizure of property by police exceeded the loss of property through buglaries. US Attorneys seized $12.6 billion from 1989 through 2010. The corruption grew by 19% per year on average, except in 2009 when it expanded by 53%. In Washington DC, police were legally robbing people for having $100 in their pocket.

US Senators Lindsey Graham and Patrick Leahy are sponsoring legislation for an extra $1 billion which would nearly double the amount of funding Washington plans to spend on resettling refugees from Syria. Leahy’s office told The Hill that the legislation would allow for the resettlement of up to 100,000 Syrian refugees over two years. Obama’s State Department has called for 10,000 Syrians to be admitted in 2016 and “many more” in 2017. WND 2015 Nov 15 (Story) (Cached)

ANTI-ISRAELI BIAS?
2015 Nov 19 from Wendy
Dear Edward Griffin, What you are doing for Freedom is very important and courageous too. And the news you put out always seems to be accurate. I always read what you write, but get concerned about the ‘anti Israel’ bias, which definitely appears regularly.
I understand that the reason that the concert hall in Paris was attacked is that, 9 years ago, it held a pro Israel meeting. Please make sure you report things fairly and find out from Israel exactly what is going on. I strongly suggest you subscribe to Israel Today, their website. Interesting to note that, when the Israelis behave badly, they are always the first to talk about it.
REPLY FROM GEG:
Hello Wendy. Thank you for your compliments about our news service. I am surprised, however, to learn that you think we have an anti-Israeli bias. We try very hard to have no bias whatsoever – except for truth.
We often criticize the actions of corrupt or power-mad politicians in the United States government, but that does not mean we have an anti-American bias. Just the opposite is true. We believe that the highest obligation of patriotism is to oppose corruption in leadership.
Your statement about the motive for attacking the concert hall is an interesting case in point. That is the kind of story that we probably would publish but only if it could be documented from a reliable source, such as ISIS, itself. If true, that is exactly the kind of thing that ISIS leaders would be anxious for the world to know.
Can you tell us the source of this claim? If the source is the Israeli government, the only way we would report on it is to identify its source and let the readers decide for themselves how reliable it is. However, if we did that, our report could be said to have an anti-Israeli bias. It is very hard to be totally honest in a conflict with such strong passion on both sides.
I would be glad to re-examine any news story that you feel was not truthful. If that can be independently documented by reliable parties who are not, themselves, aligned with combatants in the conflict, we will gladly retract the story and replace it with a more accurate report.
Thank you for writing and especially for caring about truth.
