    Turkey abandons Nato drill over portrayal as the enemy

    Modern Turkey’s founder was reportedly used to illustrate the enemy in the exercise

    Turkey has pulled its troops out of a Nato exercise in Norway over an alleged insult to its political leaders.

    Reports said that an image of the “enemy” in the mock exercise was actually a photo of modern Turkey’s founder, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.

    Turkish media also reported that a fake social media account in the name of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was used to send anti-Nato messages.

    Turkey withdrew all 40 of its participating troops in response.

    The country has the second largest military force in Nato, and is involved both in coalition efforts against so-called Islamic State and in Nato’s Afghanistan mission.

    Norway’s Defence Minister Frank Bakke-Jensen issued a statement of apology for the incident, which he blamed on a single individual.

    He said the messages had been sent on the private computer network used in the drill, “and in no way” reflected Norway’s views.

    Turkish broadcaster NTV said that one person involved was a Norwegian officer of Turkish descent.

    • Turkey row: Why has Erdogan riled Nato allies?

    But Mr Bakke-Jensen said the Norwegian involved was an external contractor hired for the exercise, and he had been removed from his role. An investigation is under way, he added.

    Nato Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg also issued an apology, calling Turkey a valued member of the military alliance.

    Despite Turkey’s military and strategic importance, given its borders with Syria, Iraq, and Iran, relations with Western nations have been under stress over the past few years.

    President Erdogan was openly embroiled in diplomatic spats with Austria, Germany, and the Netherlands earlier this year when they restricted public political rallies of expatriate Turks.

    Instead, Turkey has pursued a closer relationship with Russia, with which it has also co-operated on air strikes in Syria.

    Turkey’s candidacy for membership of the European Union has also effectively stalled, and the union was critical of President Erdogan’s crackdown on academia and the judiciary following an attempted military coup last year.

    In its wake, a number of Turkish officers posted to Nato requested asylum – and have been unable to return home.

    The CIA, Tavistock Institute, and the Global “Intelligence-Police Gestapo” State

    Abstract/Summary Quotes

    As L. Marcus (1974) writes in his excellent investigation piece; “Reesian methods rely, completely and consciously, on the destruction of the mental life of world society and a forced march into universal sadism.”…. Within this lies their affinity- men as mindless beasts whose minds, according to Tavistock, are something to be manipulated and destroyed.

    …. “The Tavistock- and Reesian method- that the class war should be waged with “weapons that affect morale more than they take life”- has become, in the post-war period, the primary weapon system of the Rockefeller forces, including their own covert arm, the Central Intelligence Agency.

    The CIA apparatus has penetrated every key organization, including think tanks, universities, non-governmental organizations and Foundations. For example, most major universities are either entirely or substantially branches of the CIA…. Through control of governmental and major foundations, the CIA has been able to have a say “not only in what programs are funded, but to control the selection of instructors who move into controlling positions” as honest academicians are weeded out and hounded into retirement.

    …. The situation is extremely grave. We are fighting a combined effort of some of the most brilliant people in history who scheme against us for the purposes of possessing us. But the human will is immortal. Tyrants have killed millions and yet people fought and eventually won their freedom…. Immortality has its moral basis in truth and incorruptibility. It deserves to be given all the support that it can get. It deserves to be fought and died for.

    Daniel Estulin: “Tavistock: Social Engineering the Masses” (2015)

    The development of the CIA establishment has been essentially directed to a systematic infiltration of all principle existing institutions, an infiltration which is deliberate, preparatory deployment, aimed at the establishment of a “quasi-legal” fascist takeover with the help of some of the leading families of America.

    Peter Cuskie, “The Tavistock Grin: The Shaping of the Anglo-American SS by War” (1974)

    The CIA works with every intelligence agency in the entire world, but especially including Britain’s MI6 and Israel’s Mossad and Shinbet. It even works with intelligence agencies of our official enemies, Iran and North Korea, according to an American ex-intelligence officer. America now has its troops in 160 out of about 190 nations, and apparently, its intelligence agencies are in each of these countries as well. We have space satellites spying on the entire earth that can actually read the fine print on golf balls. They are spying on us; they may have our phones and our houses wiretapped and our cars tapped and bugged.

    According to a recent article entitled; “Top Secret America: A Washington Post Investigation:” “Some 1271 government organizations and 1,931 private companies work on programs related to counter-terrorism, Homeland Security, and intelligence in about 10,000 locations across the United States…. An estimated 854,000 people, nearly 1.5 times as many people as live in Washington, D.C., hold top secret security clearances. In Washington and the surrounding area, 33 building complexes for top secret intelligence work are under construction or have been built since September, 2001.”

    Former Air Force Officer and Christian author, Texe Marrs, 2010, Power of Prophecy program (2010)

    The Congressional report cited by John Kelly (whose book “Tainting Evidence: Inside the Scandals at the FBI Crime Lab” was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize) states that “several hundred times every day” officers of the Clandestine Service (CS) of the CIA “engage in highly illegal activities.”

    From www.fightgangstalking.com

    Victor Thorn: People may say that Barack Obama was at Columbia University in the period between 1981 and 1983. But the truth of the matter is that there is absolutely no evidence that Barack Obama was ever at Columbia. There’s no transcript, no yearbook accounts, no work records, no housing records, no friends, no associates. A guy named Wayne Allen Wrote, who ran as a vice presidential candidate of the Libertarian Party, was in the same graduating class and major (Political Science) as Barack Obama at Columbia University. He interviewed 400 people in his graduating class and he couldn’t find a single person that knew Obama, saw him, or remembered him there at Columbia. So not only have all of his college records at Occidental, Columbia, and Harvard been sealed and not released. His birth certificate records are also sealed and haven’t been released. So what we have here with this guy is a huge question mark. If he wasn’t at Columbia for those three years, where was he?

    When you look at Obama’s past when he was only 20-years old, when he travels to Pakistan in 1981, he’s meeting with the Prime Minister of Pakistan, with the leader of the (Afghanistan) Northern Command, with ex-Soviet war veterans, with the people from the Mujahadeen. So we have to ask ourselves, how is a 20-year old kid, a college student, meeting with some of the most important people in this (Afghanistan) war at this time? And he actually stayed with a man named Mohammedan Sumra, who was the interim Prime Minister of Pakistan, who is also tied in with BCCI, which is probably the biggest, dirtiest (CIA) banking scandal of all time. So how is this college kid, with no money, no resources, meeting with the highest people in Pakistan, in Afghanistan, and even Russians? It doesn’t make sense unless you look at him as a CIA asset. That’s the only thing that makes sense.

    Marrs: A horrible thing, a Manchurian-type candidate. So it’s all just a fake resume reference, isn’t it?… And we know that George Herbert Walker Bush, the first Bush president, was not only the head of the CIA (in 1976), he was also was working in the CIA at a lower level in Dallas, Texas at the time of the JFK assassination and was implicated in the plot to kill JFK.

    Thorn: Yes, there is a lot of evidence for that and good videotapes out there on that subject.

    We have met the enemy and he is us. Pogo

    Introduction:

    Throughout this website, and in my previous post, in particular (“Judaism Discovered:” Interview of author, Michael Hoffman, II by Texe Marrs (2009), I identified the chief beneficiaries of ‘Operation 9/11” as the controllers of the “world system,” who may be described as the Judeo/Masonic/Satanic conspiracy. The “military” enforcement arm of the world plutocracy is comprised of all the interlocking intelligence agencies and their innumerable affiliates, cut-outs, etc.

    And certainly, we must also count amongst the chief beneficiaries of the 9/11 “false-flag, synthetic, state-sponsored terror” event, the intelligence agencies that helped plan, execute, and cover-up the event! Even immediately following “Operation 9/11,” many savvy researchers and government people reported that the CIA and Mossad (Israeli intelligence), with help from elements within the U.S. military and political establishment, were the main culprits. (Indeed, I came to this conclusion in my 2002 article: “The Origins of 9/11: Three Scenarios,” which is posted on this website.)

    And we know that immediately after 9/11, American intelligence agencies and the new Department of Homeland Security received vast infusions of money in order to better integrate the efforts of the various federal, state, and local agencies in order to “fight terrorism.” Pretty slick trick, no? First, intelligence agencies execute a hugely expensive operation against their own country, killing 3,000 and providing pretext for a series of wars of aggression in the Middle East that have only benefited Israel and have killed millions more innocent victims. Second, these same agencies receive vastly more money! (This is another example of the Hegelian principle in action: “problem, reaction, solution”/or “thesis/antithesis/synthesis”)

    Meanwhile, of course, no one in our already vast intelligence, military, or political apparatus was ever prosecuted for their failure to protect the nation from the 9/11 attacks, let alone for carrying out the operation itself! The “chutzpah” of all this, to use a Jewish word, is mind-boggling! It is probably quite appropriate to use Jewish terms here, for on 9/11 the Director of the CIA, George Tenet, was himself a Jew named George Cohen, who had changed his last name to Tenet. The previous DCIA (Director of the CIA) was Jew, John Deutch, who had been more or less “outed” for his role in overseeing the CIA’s illicit drug trade. So it is a fair guess that American military/intelligence had already been infiltrated, corrupted, co-opted, and commandeered by Jews and crypto-Jews well before “Operation 9/11” was staged, more or less as a television show or movie, as trauma-based mind control of the masses and pretext to drive the world towards the “One World Government”/”Jewish Utopia” that Jewish rabbis have long planned. Not incidentally, psychology itself has traditionally been considered a “Jewish science” and throughout its history and even current applications, Jews have played and still play the dominant role by far.

    This post interweaves narratives that explain: 1) the history of (Illuminati) factions and institutions in Britain, Germany, and America that developed the capability to wage “psychological warfare” against their own domestic populations via the “weaponization of psychology” (from Estulin, 2015), 2) the enormous increase in the size and scope of the post-9/11 global “(black) intelligence state” (from Marrs, Power of Prophecy program, 2010), and 3) that President Barack Obama himself is not only a long-time CIA asset, he may also be a “Manchurian Candidate”/mind-controlled slave of the “cryptocracy” (rule by secrecy)!

    It has already been demonstrated on this website that 1) “Operation 9/11” (and the myriad other false-flag terror events designed by psychological experts to keep the masses in a dissociated, terrorized and confused state) were and are hatched in our own elite think tanks, universities, foundations, etc., and 2) that this sustained, covert “class” war chiefly employs the tools of mind control and propaganda. Terms used by the elite to describe this war are “counterinsurgency” and “counter-terrorism.” To help destroy our civilization, the psychopathic elite employ a vast network of secret societies, the media, Hollywood, cults and religions, and military/intelligence agencies. This network is so extensive that many Americans undoubtedly have family and/or friends who are a part of it! Hence, Pogo’s prescient prognostication: “We have met the enemy and he is us.” Or at least he walks among us. Perhaps the Biblical image of wheat and tares is the more appropriate image.

    But it must be understood that this network of “respectable” institutions, including think tanks, foundations, universities, etc., has been utilized to create the means of destroying the very pillars upon which western civilization is built: the nation-state, religion, the family, private property, free will, reason, truth, and beauty. And it particularly targets Christianity and Christians for destruction… again, via infiltration, corruption, co-option, etc. This post details just how the oligarchic and psychopathic elite has utilized and continues to utilize the principles of “psychological warfare” to impose total control (slavery and genocide) over the “goy” masses, or “beasts.” A prime goal, of course, is to cement “class relationships” in perpetuity, as envisioned in Orwell’s classic, “1984”- by imposing a fascist control system with a “democratic face.” This covert war deploys deception, terror, Satanism, propaganda, mind control, gangstalking (or “intelligence stalking”- see “Appendix 20. What is Gang Stalking?”), and other forms of psychological warfare on a vast scale.

    This post includes two narratives of others and some commentary by myself (Dr. Eric T. Karlstrom). Part I, excerpted from Estulin (2015), documents that global elite (headed by Illuminati families and the Black Nobility) covert psychological warfare against the masses during the last century has involved the “weaponization” of psychology and psychiatry. And it identifies the global network of foundations, secret societies, and intelligence agencies that ultimately led to “Operation 9/11.” Estulin describes his seminal book as an “anti-brainwashing combat manual.” Similarly, this website presents the evidence that citizens need to understand how and why “Operation 9/11” was designed to help usher in the long-planned, long-sought one-world government/religion/economic system/kingdom of Satan.

    Part II is a transcription of a Texe Marrs’ “Power of Prophecy” program that describes the exponential growth of the global “black intelligence state” that followed “Operation 9/11.” The program, recorded in 2010, is “Unmasking the spooks, spies, and spidery connections of the global Illuminati elite.” The expansion and integration of these worldwide intelligence operations should be understood as among the prime objectives of “Operation 9/11.” (The other main objective being to provide pretext for a series of wars of aggression in the Middle East that benefit Israel). The second part of this program features an interview between Marrs and Victor Thorn, author of “Front Man; The Dark Side of Obama.” In this segment, Thorn presents evidence that President Barack Obama has not only been a CIA asset since his youth but may be also be a MKULTRA/Monarch mind-controlled slave, a “Manchurian candidate.”

    Taken together, the information and insights presented here permit us to glimpse the enormous size and scope and the very grim intentions of the “black intelligence” octopus/Behemoth which, on behalf of the global financial elite, now holds humanity in its clutches. It also answers many important questions. However, the answers provided here are not pleasant ones. Many Americans will recall reading Orwell and Huxley’s books, “1984” and “Brave New World,” at some point in their lives. Evidence presented here suggests these “dystopian” novels are more than fictional nightmares; they actually be part of a “predictive programming” strategy designed to prepare the masses to accept the long-planned totalitarian one-world state? Have the world’s kings, nobility, and super-rich now intermarried and combined forces with the worshippers of Satan who direct the Jewish/Masonic/Satanic plan for world conquest? Evidence presented herein suggests that this is the case.

    Part I. Historical background to “Operation 9/11: Excerpts from Estulin’s “Tavistock Institute: Social Engineering the Masses” (2015)

    A. Tavistock Institute of Human Relations, the “Aquarian Conspiracy,” and the destruction of identity

    “Tavistock (Institute) in Sussex, England, ”is the world’s center for mass brainwashing and social engineering activities” (LaRouche.com, 1980). From a somewhat crude beginning at Wellington House, grew a sophisticated organization that was to shape the destiny of the entire planet, and in the process, change the paradigm of modern society. In this (book) we uncover both the Tavistock network and the methods of brainwashing and psychological warfare being adapted as we speak then and now for the application to large social engineering projects.

    This is the “Aquarian Conspiracy” as the brainwashers refer to themselves, referring to a super-secret 1974 Stanford Research Institute study entitled “Changing Images of Man.” You can think of this book as essentially an anti-brainwashing combat manual. Brainwashing depends on the ignorance of the victims….. This book… attempts to show that the conspiracy is real, who is behind it, what are its final long-term objectives. and how we the people can stop them from taking us to Hell.

    …. The conclusion that you the reader will reach is that the moral, material, cultural, and intellectual decay that we are witnessing helplessly every day across the globe is not accidental, not an act of God who is punishing us for our Earthly misdeeds, but a deliberately induced social crisis…. What’s in the balance is the future of the planet, the immortality of the human race, and the survival of our species.

    ….During World War II, “Tavistock was the headquarters of the British Army’s Psychological Warfare Bureau, which, through the arrangements of the Special Operations Executive also dictated policy to the United States Armed Forces in the matters of psychological warfare”…. Make no mistake, everything from the New Left to Watergate to Vietnam to Pentagon Papers to the insane hippies, the anti-war movement and the drug-rock counterculture were all pre-planned social engineering projects…. These groups regard us and the principles of nation states as their axiomatic, philosophical enemy.

    This interlocked juggernaut of evil consists of some of the world’s most prestigious centers of knowledge and research such as Stanford Research Center at Stanford University, Rand Corporation, MIT/Sloane, the Advanced Center of Behavioral Research at Palo Alto, the Institute of Social Research at the University of Michigan, the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania, the Harvard Business School, London School of Economics, the National Training Laboratories, the Hudson Institute, Esalen Institute, the National Institute of Mental Health, the National Institute of Drug Abuse, the Office of Naval Research. There are others, such as the Geneva-based International Foundation for Development Alternatives and Executive Conference Center, the first full-time Age of Aquarius graduate school, charged with teaching behavioral modification for high level executives from Fortune’s top 500 companies. Human zombies placed at top-level management positions to lead us into the New Dark Age of transcendental consciousness (There are) two foci, first, changes needed in the United States; and second, the global order.

    Over the period of half a century, tens of billions of dollars have been allocated by the government of the United States with surreptitious help from think tanks and foundations aligned with Tavistock to fund the work of these groups. Every aspect of the mental and psychological life of people on the planet was profiled, recorded and stored into computer systems. Above the closely co-operating groups of social scientists, psychologists, psychiatrists, anthropologists, think tanks and foundations presides the elite of powerful members of the oligarchy, comprised mostly of the old Venetian Black Nobility.

    What is the purpose of these behavior modifications, you may ask? It is to bring about forced changes to our way of life, without our agreement, and without ever realizing what is happening to us. The ultimate goal being “the complete extirpation of mankind’s inner sense of identity, the tearing out of mankind’s innermost soul and the replacement, in the vacant space, of an artificial, synthetic pseudo-soul.” (LaRouche, 1980). However, in order to change mankind’s behavior away from industrial production into spiritualism and to bring us willfully into the world of post-industrial era of zero growth and zero progress, one must force first a change in mankind’s “self-image,” its fundamental conception of what we are. Thus, the image of man appropriate to that new era must be sought, synthesized and then wired into mankind’s brain.

    As Professor John McMurtry wrote in his 2001 opening address to the “Science for Peace Forum” held at the University of Toronto, “totality of rule is not the only parameter of totalitarianism. Limitlessness of power also proceeds from an omnipresent center.” In the new totalitarian movement, “this omnipresent directive force” communicates through behavior modification and identity change- the dominant modes of the interlocked system (McMurtry, 2001)….

    (ETK note: The preceding paragraphs may help to identify the de facto mission of my hometown of Crestone/Baca, Colorado. See my extended series of articles: “Is Crestone/Baca the “Vatican City of the New World Order?” An Expose of the New World Religion” on this website.)

    B. Psychological Warfare Against the Masses

    …. Counterinsurgency cannot proceed merely on (the basis of synthetic terror events and) horrors; it requires conscious and systematic application by the ruling class, or its dupes” (Menzel, 1974). This was achieved by fusing psychology and psychiatry in the 1930’s.

    “The first massive application of psychology as a conscious weapon took place in Nazi Germany, especially in reference to eugenics, which played upon the most backward Aryan illusions held by and imposed on portions of the masses. While the cause and development of Nazi butchery stemmed wholly from the world economic collapse, its specific form, eugenics, was devised by the Nazis’ favorite theoreticians and technicians- the psychiatrists.” (Menzel, 1974).

    Since then, the “science of mind,” has been converted into the craft of mind destruction. Legitimate, therapeutic approaches have given way to behavior-modifying pseudo-science in the name of aversion therapy. This conversion of mind science was truly shaped by war- “the war of mental genocide waged by the bourgeoisie (ETK note: “bourgeoisie” was a Jewish/Bolshevik term used to dehumanize gentiles/Christians. The correct term, as demonstrated on this website, is “Jews”) against the working class” (Menzel, 1974). The essential premise of the work of Tavistock is the premise that certain kinds of democratic “institutions represent far more efficient instrumentalities for fascist dictatorship than the traditional, straightforwardly” authoritarian models. “From the great oil hoax and CIA-style brainwashing, the psychological sciences have followed the route initially outlined in 1945 by (Brigadier General, “Sir”) Dr. John Rawlings Rees, grand master of psywar counterinsurgency, in his book, “The Shaping of Psychiatry by War.” Rees called for the development of psychiatric shock troops in order to develop “methods of political control based upon driving the majority of the human population toward psychosis” through procedures of so-called programmed behavioral modification. He proposed this to render the population submissive under the (British-led) post-World War II economic world order.

    …. Only a “conspiracy of psychiatrists”- as Rees meant when he spoke of his mission- “could build a society where it is possible for people of every social group to have treatment when they need it, even when they do not wish it, without the necessity to invoke the law.” For Rees, the construction of that cabal became his lifelong “mission.” As L. Marcus writes in his excellent investigation piece; “Reesian methods rely, completely and consciously, on the destruction of the mental life of world society and a forced march into universal sadism” (Marcus, 1974). Within this lies their affinity- men as mindless beasts whose minds, according to Tavistock, are something to be manipulated and destroyed.

    Since then, different methods of psychological warfare developed at Tavistock Institute have been the central features of the activities of a world-wide set of interlocking think tanks in consultative capacity and special commissions, government agencies, and corporation, their developmental studies and pilot projects with the clear-cut objective of shaping political techniques of social control.

    … The specific topics towards the establishing of fascism with a democratic face are as follows:

    1) Area Population Psychological Studies. Examples include: 1) the so-called “Strategic Bombing Survey” (which resulted in the deaths of over half a million Germans in the firebombing of Dresden and other cities at the close of World War II) which “mapped out the best ways to destroy the morale of the civilian population at the lowest cost,” and 2) “Operation Phoenix,” the genocidal operation in South Vietnam which killed over 20,000 civilians in incidents such as the Mai Lai massacre.

    2) The Media. Deliberate and habitual falsification of the information is a way of creating “desensitization effects in the mass population by causing the socially-accredited interpretation of cause-effect relations to violate sensuous rational interpretation of experience.” (As in “Operation 9/11” itself and the “global warming fraud”- ETK note.)

    3) Local Community Control. “The objective of ‘local community control’ as a fascist counterinsurgency tactic is to fragment the subject population into relatively hermetic political groupings…. Setting such groups into competition against each other under the conditions of general austerity is an effective (Kurt) Lewinite-technique for inducing self-brainwashing among these groups and progressive psychological deterioration toward polymorphous perverse pseudo-families and outright clinical psychosis.” (“The Campaigner,” Nov.-Dec., 1974).

    4) The application of task-oriented small group brainwashing techniques to leaderless groups. “Under these conditions, semi-psychosis and psychosis cause the group to “voluntarily attain degrees of intensification of labor, which cannot be forced from sane labor. The members of such self-brainwashing leaderless group work teams emulate the “racehorse” syndrome, driving hysterically toward literally suicidal work-paced.”

    (ETK note: It seems these techniques not only help explain the imposed psychological group dynamics of “Operation Crestone/Baca,” but also explain those imposed in universities and in communities all across America as well (via Agenda 21, see my article entitled “Global Green Dictatorship” on this website).

    C. Harnessing the Occult and the Rockefeller/Tavistock/Nazi/CIA Creation of Mind Control Slaves

    …. Royal Arch Freemasonry infiltrated British Intelligence departments “from its inception (MI1).” The KGB Royal Arch Freemasons were one of these departments in this tarantula-like Masonic organization.

    … The “Land of Memory” has always been the primary objective of mind control and counterinsurgency operations. There is a phrase which is perhaps not used so much these days as it was in the tender years of the twentieth century; “the blue bird of happiness…” (T)his term had its origins in “The Blue Bird” (1909), the most famous work by the Belgian Nobel Prize-winning author and dramatist, Maurice Maeterlinck….. Secret societies, intelligence agencies and government use literature to indoctrinate their cadres into becoming mind control slaves to the elites. Bluebird is one such (mind-control) program devised by Tavistock specifically for the CIA.

    For part of their initiation, intelligence agents are asked to participate in a play “full of occult and esoteric elements of necromancy treasure-quest”…. The search for the Blue Bird will give (these recruits) these powers as they walk through the Land of Memory, the Palace of the Night, a Graveyard, and an enchanted Forest…. Bluebird, and its associate programs such as MK-ULTRA and OFTEN, became involved in all aspects of behavior modification, hypnosis, drug-induced psychological states and the creation of amnesia.

    …. One of the ways in which such practices were encouraged and used by Tavistock brainwashers involved increasing levels of productivity and the intensification of labor at the expense of one’s health. In other words, Rockefeller-induced self-motivated destruction of the self (would be used to produce) a society of brainwashed zombies, content to subsist on the brink of starvation, performing sadomasochistic acts of sodomy for a perceptibly irrational sort of ‘psychotic holocaust’…. “The idea was to re-create a family dynamic, or a dynamic of peer pressure, in group therapy, where predetermined objectives were forced onto the group through consensus, or “democracy,” in the language of these social engineers. The idea was that by attacking someone’s sovereign identity in the group, that individual would forfeit their sovereignty to the group and become suggestible to the predetermined objectives. Such techniques play upon the “vulnerable person’s guilt shame and regret with both sledgehammer and scalpel. Humiliated by the group, with only the unreal realm to judge from, the individual further degrades himself and accepts the verdict. He begins producing more.

    “This is the malicious, disgusting kernel of co-participation, “quality of life,” co-determination, “humanization,” human relations or whatever other euphemism may be mustered, all under the banner of “Post Industrial Society,” a Ford Foundation-sponsored piece of garbage whose particular point, as a counterinsurgency weapon of ideology, introduced the proto-fascist notion of “Zero Growth.” As M. Minnicino explains, “The slave labor and death camp system of the Nazis are not quirks of Hitler and his associates, but an intrinsic expression of the fundamental policies of any “Zero Growth” economy. It is impossible to have Zero Growth policies beginning today without mass genocide tomorrow.”

    (ETK note: The above paragraph certainly seems to explain techniques now being widely applied in our society: To the Crestone/Baca’s elite-imposed mandate of “no growth” and to sequential Congressional, university, community financial cut-backs that have been so commonplace during the past several decades.)

    The 1940’s was the turning point for the Rockefeller strategy of behavior modification-brainwashing, co-determination, co-participation, corporatism, for the takeover of the United States and world labor movement. As war wound down, Rockefeller changed the psychology of the workers in ways essential to the way he would rule the U.S. organized labor movement from then on… Rockefeller took many of the social scientists who had been involved in the bestial-fascist war intelligence services and set them up on campuses in Labor Institutes funded with Rockefeller Foundation, National Institute of Mental Health, Army, Navy, Air Force and large capitalist firm money, guidance and projects. These Labor Institutes were created at the same time as the CIA, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the National Security Council as part of the same network that Rockefeller was building to rule the world, once the United States had replaced Britain, after the war as the world’s strongest power….

    “The three Rockefeller-formed and funded and directed labor institutes, Tavistock, the ISR, and Cornell H.R., are only three of the more than two to three hundred that were started by the Rockefellers throughout the world after the Second World War. They include the Center d’Etudes de Problemes Humaines de Travial and the Association pour la Recherche et L’Intervention Psycho-sociologiques in France; the Industrial Research Institute in Bonn, Germany and the DGB’s (German Trade Union) Department of Social Relations Institute, also in Germany; la Sociedad Argentina de Investigation Operative (SADIO); the International Jewish Research Foundation on Human Relations in Israel, and the Psychological Institute at Kyushu in Japan, to name a few.” (“The Campaigner,” 1974).

    The list of Rockefeller influence is enormous. Between the Rockefeller family’s long-standing control over the American Medical Association and American Psychiatric Association, and the encroachment of the CIA establishment into all branches of government, various governmental, including military funds, were used to push the development of brainwashing and to plant Rockefeller-Tavistock protégés in key positions and institutions. For example, B.F. Skinner’s position at Harvard was established this way……

    … The religious and mystical dimensions to the story of Tavistock are central to any study of the US government’s postwar interests in how psychology and parapsychology could benefit the intelligence agencies. It was Tavistock and the cabal of scientists who were the first to bring the potential uses of paranormal abilities in military applications, as well as the first in developing chemical substances that would stimulate psychic abilities. This cabal included men, such as Dr. Sidney Gottlieb, head of CIA’s Technical Services Staff, with shadowy connections both to Operations Paperclip on the one side… and to the Kennedy assassination on the other.

    As Peter Levanda explains in “Sinister Forces,” “swirling about the feet and hands of the Kennedy assassination was a sticky fog of occultists, wandering bishops, American intelligence and Nazi scientists. All were a handshake or two away from JFK’s alleged assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald. They were all talking to ghosts, practicing ritual magic, holding hands around the séance table or sacrificing chickens in New Orleans apartments. And, in some cases, they were also members of America’s ruling elite, the wealthiest and best-connected families in the country” (Levenda, 2001).

    …. The CIA and the satanic cults; the mythology of the late twentieth century is surprisingly coherent even though the masks change from case to case, from victim to alleged victim. The CIA, of course, does exist; their mind control programs, from Bluebird to Artichoke to MK-ULTA, are a matter of public record. Their history of political assassinations and the overthrow of various foreign governments are also a matter of record. Satanic cults, or perhaps we should qualify that and say “occult secret societies,” also exist and are a matter of public record; their attempts to contact higher spirits through arcane rituals are also well-documented and well-known.

    … “Intelligence officers and cultists have a lot in common. Secrecy is a way of life for both the spy and sorcerer; they both use codes and code names; they both pretend to have access to mysteries not available to the general public; they both claim to be able to influence events at a distance with their special abilities and power. They both specialize in the manipulation of reality; both are aware that things are not always what they seem to be; and they are both ruthless and often amoral or immoral in the pursuit of their goals. And when one can so easily manipulate the perception of reality, one eventually comes to the realization that Truth, itself, is a malleable thing. So it was only natural that the cultist and the spy would gravitate towards each other and would try to learn from each other.” (Levenda, 2011).

    This control of reality, of the perception of reality, and the creation of “consensus reality” is a powerful political tool, and has been since the ancient times when the proverbial sorcerers could appear to create solar eclipses by simply knowing when one would occur and act accordingly. To control and manipulate the reality of the masses, one uses what is known as psychological warfare. And it is but one step from controlling a person’s perception of reality to getting that person to act on it.

    The CIA and Tavistock were opening Pandora’s Box of demonic forces: the black box of consciousness. The techniques included drugs, various forms of hypnosis and even more extreme measures such as those developed by Dr. Ewen Cameron in Montreal, procedures known as “psychic driving,” which involves drastic sensory deprivation sessions in an effort to wipe the consciousness clean and record a new consciousness over the old, much the same way we would record over a used cassette tape. It is the story of the modern day Frankenstein, or a laboratory full of Frankensteins, the monsters they made: monsters that wander the streets of our cities today.

    (Levenda, 2011) states: “It would only be a matter of time before the mind control researchers began to scour the records of occultists, magicians, witches, voodoo priests and Siberian shamans to isolate the techniques that were used since time immemorial to supplant a person’s normal, comfortable, everyday consciousness and replace it with a powerful, all-knowing and sometimes violent, and always deceptive alter personality; and to use those alters to uncover the action of deep memory, for MK-ULTRA was, at its core, an assault on the Land of Memory; the creation of new, false memories and the eradication of old, dangerous ones.”

    …. The doors of perception had been opened, not only by drugs like mescaline, LSD and psilocybin, but also by the séance, the shamans and the secret ritual. All had become tools of the trade for elements of the CIA, and their assault on memory and consciousness threw open the doors of perception and, instead of letting the Light in, they let Darkness out. Drugs, shamanism, and the occult. The dark domain of Charles Manson, of John Rawlings Rees, of Nazi doctors, of Hollywood and the music industry, and the CIA and MI6 initiation sessions. With psychedelics, they disturbed the sleep of ancient forces, and the world would never be the same again.

    (ETK note: These paragraphs, particularly, reinforce my conclusion that what I’m calling “Operation Crestone/Baca” has turned my home town in Colorado into a “laboratory” in which to study, develop, and implement these kinds of CIA/Tavistock psychological warfare programs. Estulin’s excellent book confirms my suspicions that Crestone/Baca itself is a hotbed of CIA-related occult, mind-control and social engineering projects.)

    D. Re-Creation of Reality Through Magic and Mind Control

    … All of these (Tavistock/CIA) techniques share an ontological purpose: to manipulate perceptions and to re-create reality. Once that Pandora’s box was open, there was no closing it again. The temptation was too great. For those who wanted to play God, there was the next best thing: one could play with the elements of creation in such a way that magical transformations would take place. As the men of the OSS, CIA, military, intelligence and with Tavistock oversight developed from the armchair scholars that most of them were before the war years into soldiers fighting on the all fronts of the Cold War, they became, in a very real sense, magicians. “The Cold War mind control projects themselves represented an assault on consciousness and reality that has not been seen in history since the age of the philosopher-kings and their court alchemists.” (Simpson, 1994).

    In an extraordinary book, “Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare,” Michael Hoffman writes, “looking into the subject of mind-control, one finds that the scope is wide and methods of used are sophisticated. Mind control traces its origins to religious institutional use by priesthoods. Techniques of mind control developed in our western culture were field tested by the Jesuits, certain Vatican groups, and various mystery religions, secret societies, and Masonic organizations. Methods tested during the Inquisition were refined by Dr. Josef Mengele during the reign of the Third Reich.

    Soon afterwards, a mind control project called “Marionette Programming,” imported from Nazi Germany was revived under the new name, “Project Monarch.” The basic component of the Monarch program is the sophisticated manipulation of the mind, using extreme trauma to induce Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD), now known as Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). In public testimony submitted to the President’s Committee on Radiation, there are amazing allegations of severe torture and inhumane programs foisted upon Americans and other citizens, especially as children.”

    As Peter Cuskie writes in “The Shaping of the Anglo-American SS by War,” “according to the OSS’s (Office of Strategic Services, for-runner of the CIA) Assessment Staff’s post war report “Assessment of Men,” it was Dr. John Rawlings Rees and his Tavistock crew at the British War Office Selection Board, who contacted the London office of the OSS to suggest that the special warfare organization adopt Tavistock’s selection and training methods. It was Rees who devised the OSS brainwashing “election” procedures and (German Jew, Kurt) Lewin helped refine them. It was also Rockefeller-sponsored Rees who devised an U.S. financier-promoted-insurgency-counter-insurgency project. The development of the CIA establishment has been essentially directed to a systematic infiltration of all principle existing institutions, an infiltration which is deliberate, preparatory deployment, aimed at the establishment of a “quasi-legal” fascist takeover with the help of some of the leading families of America.”

    E. Rockefeller, Allen Dulles, and the Nazis

    (ETK note: The following section is basically a skillful summation of information I presented in “Corrected History: Of (London) “Jew Money Kings,” Nazi cartels, the Protocols, “Zionazis,” American “robber barons” and traitors, and Illuminati Families,” which is on this website).

    Many of the future leaders of the CIA came from America’s ruling families, from a never-ending pool of bankers and industrialists, such as Du Pont, Vanderbilt, Bruce, Mellon, Archbold, Morgan, and Roosevelt. (ETK note: These are the Illuminati families described in Springmeier’s book, “Bloodlines of the Illuminati.”)

    …. The list of Rockefeller (family members) and supporters and representatives in key positions is a who-is-who amongst the “nation builders” of the XX century. Allen Dulles, former director of Rockefeller’s Standard Oil Corporation, was OSS chief of Secret Intelligence for Europe and later head of the CIA. Dulles, a prototypical Eastern Establishment figure, is a perfect example of the invisible confluence of fascist interests around the creation of the new imperial dominion controlled by Rockefeller through CIA-Tavistock corporate interests. For instance, Dulles was put in charge of the CIA’s Bluebird mind control project, which he changed to Artichoke because he was fond of the vegetable. Further, Allen and his brother John Foster were senior partners at Rockefeller’s Standard Oil’s chief law firm, Sullivan and Cromwell, a notorious CIA front with links to the most important financial houses on Wall Street.

    Sullivan and Cromwell’s “twin” was the German law firm of Albert and Westrick, which was simultaneously Hitler’s financial agent, an Abwehr spymaster in the United States and also Sullivan and Cromwell’s German representative. As a result, the Dulles law firm acquired three major German concerns as Standard Oil cartel partners. Among them was the murderous I.G. Farbenindustrie, which was, with the Kruppwerks, the principle user of concentration camp slave labor for the Nazis’ blitzkrieg economy (EIR, 1976).

    The Dulles family had long and extensive ties to the Nazi underground, and had been laundering Nazi money for decades. “Both played major political roles throughout the 1920’s and the 1930’s in the “Rearming of Germany by Night” policy, premised on using the Wehrmacht as a weapon against the Soviet Union and European working class” (EIR, 1976). Allen Dulles was in an intelligence position in Switzerland during the First World War, developing the contacts and the network he would use as the years went by he would be one of the key people working the Byzantine machinations of the post-war Operation Paperclip that formed the real structure of resurgent fascism, of what became known in the intelligence community simply as ‘Blowback’ (Simpson, 1988).

    While Allen was employed in Switzerland, his brother John Foster was working at the State Department in Washington. Their uncle, ultra-conservative Robert Lansing, was President Woodrow Wilson’s Secretary of State. The Dulles brothers actively courted Nazi officials in the 1930’s, as did the Rockefeller and Wall Street corporate interests, such as Ford Motor Company and IBM and helped them escape after the war, especially when Allen Dulles became CIA Director beginning in 1953. Dulles’ Chief of Counter Intelligence, James Jesus Angleton, later the CIA’s Vatican liaison, and Frank Wisner who oversaw the Gehlen Organization’s “Special Forces” in 1952-1953, would be involved with various secret off-the-books operations, amongst them Odessa, which helped relocate Nazis into Peron’s Argentina and Die Spinne of the Spider, a loose designation of the post-war remnants of the Nazi secret police and covert intelligence apparatus, whose U.S. point man was a Rockefeller Republican Party supporter, Harold Keith Thompson.

    If anyone still has any doubts about a close proximity of the Rockefeller clan to the Nazis, in 1945, President Truman fired Nelson Rockefeller for his role in engineering the creation of Peron’s fascist regime which provided “safe haven” for over 100,000 Nuremburg criminals delivered by Allen Dulles (via CIA Operation Paperclip) from Europe.

    In his national bestseller, “Blowback,” author Christopher Simpson wrote: “After World War II, Nazi émigrés were given CIA subsidies to build a far-right power base in the U.S. These Nazis assumed prominent positions in the Republican Party’s ethnic outreach committees.” These Nazis did not come to America as individuals but as part of organized groups with fascist political agendas. The Nazi agenda did not die along with Adolf Hitler. It moved to America (or a part of it did) and joined the far right of he Republican Party.”

    From Richard Helms, a future CIA director and Dulles liaison man to Wehrmacht intelligence chief General Reinhard Gehlen to CIA director William Colby, who received his training as the OSS Special Operations officer from the SOE in London, the list of interlocking Rockefeller-Nazi-Tavistock interests is endless. The Tavistock techniques of gang, counter-gang, sabotage and political assassinations Colby learned at SOE’s special training school were the very methods later used in directing the CIA’s Project Phoenix in South Vietnam which include the mass assassination atrocities at My Lai.

    As things settled down at the end of the World War II, the Rockefeller-CIA set about to expand its apparatus. In the process, they would try to permeate and dissolve the old order “to emerge as the hard core of a new imperial dominion.” The Tavistock- and the Reesian method- that the class war should be waged with “weapons that affect morale more than they take life” – has become, in the post-war period, the primary weapons system of the Rockefeller forces, including their own covert arm, the Central Intelligence Agency.

    … Shortly after the war, Rees gave a speech in New York to a group of military and civilian psychiatrists: “If we prepare to come out into the open and to attack the social and national problems of our day, then we must have the shock troops and these cannot be provided by psychiatry based wholly in institutions. We must have mobile teams of psychiatrists who are free to move around and make contacts with the local area.” The overall theme of all of Rees’ known work is the development of the use of psychiatry as a weapon of the ruling class. Rees’ 22-point program for the “application of military methods to civilian life,” presented in his lectures that constituted the book “The Shaping of Psychiatry by War,” became an Anglo-American SS Bible.

    With the abundance of proof, still most people would find it difficult to accept that the CIA is an adjunct of the Rockefeller-led organization that along with Tavistock Institute is working diligently to change the paradigm of modern society. If we are to believe the United States Federal statutes and other myths concocted for the credulous, the CIA is merely a key agency of the National Security Council, working with various intelligence agencies, the Defense Department, the Treasury and the FBI. The reality is quite different. The CIA apparatus has penetrated every key organization, including think tanks, universities, non-governmental organizations and Foundations. For example, most major universities are either entirely or substantially branches of the CIA…. Through control of governmental and major foundations, the CIA has been able to have a say “not only what programs are funded, but to control the selection of instructors who move into controlling positions” as honest academicians are weeded out and hounded into retirement.

    Then there is the case of CIA’s control of private foundations (including the Rockefeller Foundation, the Carnegie Foundation, etc.).

    F. The Fascist Concept of Man and Freudian Mass Brain Washing

    Investigative journalist, Lonnie Wolfe, succinctly tells the story: “The Nazi state was created by the same oligarchical financial and political interests who today control what we call the mass media and television. Forget about whatever stories you have seen on television about how Hitler came to power: His path to power was cleared by the same oligarchs who employ the brainwashers that program your television. Over a period of years, following the First World War, Germany was brutalized by the economic policy of this international (ETK: Jewish) elite. Hitler’s Nazis were funded and promoted as a political option, and then steered into power in 1932-1933.

    Once in power, the Nazis maintained their hold through the use of terror as part of mass brainwashing. In many ways it were proper to view the Nazi period as an experiment in methods of mass brainwashing and social control. At the root of the experiment was the desire to create a New World Order based on reversing a fundamental premise of western Christian civilization: that man is created as a higher and distinct species from animals, created in the image of the living God and by Divine grace, imparted the Divine Spark of reason.”

    … As much as it may surprise many, Nazi Germany was an experiment in Freudian mass psychology. What it means is that both Freud and the Nazis shared the belief system of man as a sinful beast who is allowed to exist under strictly imposed laws. Man is not made in the image of the living God, says Freud; man has made god in his image, for the purpose of easing the pain of his existence.

    In the late 1930’s, the Tavistock Institute developed a symbiotic relationship with the Frankfurt Institute for Social Research. Their collaboration led them to analyze the culture of a population from a neo-Freudian standpoint. Nazism just happened to be one of its patients on the psychiatric couch. In a nutshell, Hitler was the prototype of Jungian man, who surrendered his reason to his unconscious, and who welcomed divine madness as Jung himself advised. (Jung states:) “The impressive thing about the German phenomenon is that one man, who is obviously possessed, has infected the whole nation to such an extent that everything is set in motion and has started rolling on its course towards perdition.” Jung added that “Hitler’s power is not political, it is magic.”

    …Both Tavistock and the Frankfurt School paid close attention to Nazi propaganda techniques, which they willingly incorporated into their research. The aim of the project, as stated in (Theodore) Adorno’s “Introduction to the Sociology of Music,” was to “program a mass culture as a form of extensive social control that would steadily degrade its consumers.” The application of their research into human behavior was set to launch a decade later in a major irreversible Cultural Revolution in America….

    It is worth repeating here that the Nazi Party was not a political party, as we commonly understand it, but a cult. “Nazi appropriation of the occult was a weird farrago of astrology, Freemasonry, racism rooted in occultism and popular European folklore (the Cathars, the Holy Grail, the Knights Templar, the Arthurian legends). Sinister forces at work against humanity. In “Morning of the Magicians,” one of the most explosive books of the 1960s’, the authors identified these forces in paranormal terms, but always linking them back to the fascist fantasies of Hitler, Himmler, Rosenberg, Darre and Hess; blatant occult fantasies that became government policy and which led to World War II. That millions of innocent people died because of this twisted dream is the greatest tragedy of the XX century.

    …. And when it was all over, those who imposed this horror on the world attempted through mass media to blame their victims for the crimes committed. The Germans, whom the oligarchy through their Nazi tools, had tortured in mass brainwashing were told that they were collectively guilty for all that happened. As a result, the entire nation was put in the dock, and tried as criminals, rapists, and mass murderers. And while we were told that it must never happen again, the brainwashers at such places as Tavistock Institute were already secretly working behind the scenes on a new and more powerful brainwashing tool, television, to help them organize their fascist “superstate” without the now socially unacceptable Nazi superstructure.

    Now, how many people understand this? How many people realize that the majority’s perception of reality, especially in the political arena, is not their own. It is shrewdly manipulated and imposed on them by the Men behind the Curtain. Most certainly don’t and brainwashing has a lot to do with it.

    G. Social Turbulence

    As a point of interest, at Tavistock, Eric Trist and Frederick Emery developed a theory of “social turbulence,” a so-called “softening up effect of future shocks”- wherein a population could be softened up through mass phenomena such as energy shortages, economic and financial collapse, or terrorist attacks. “If the shocks were to come close enough to each other and if they were delivered with increasing intensity, then it was possible to drive the entire society into a state of mass psychosis,” claimed Trist and Emery. They also stated that “individuals would become disassociated, as they tried to flee from the terror or the shocking, emerging reality; people would withdraw into a state of denial, retreating into popular entertainments and diversions, while being prone to outbursts of rage.”

    …. Under the conditions of increasing social turbulence, people change their values, yielding to new degraded values, values that are less human and more animal-like….. The second scenario is segmentation of society into smaller parts. In this scenario, “it is every group, ethnic, racial, and sexual against the other.” Nations break apart into regional groups, those smaller areas in turn fissure into even smaller areas, along ethnic lines. Trist and Emery refer to it as “enhancement of in-group and out-group prejudices as people seek to simplify their choices. The natural lines of social divisions emerge to become barricades.”

    Society’s response to such a psychological and political disintegration is the Orwellian fascist state, modeled on his book “1984.” In the book, “Big Brother” regulates the lives and conflicts of people within a society; a never ending conflict “is waged by each ruling group against its own subjects, and the object of the war is not to make or prevent conquest of territory, but to keep the structure of society in tact” (Orwell, 1948).

    The third scenario is the most intense, involving withdrawal and retreat into private world and a withdrawal from social bonds that might entail being drawn into the affairs of others.” Almost there, aren’t we? Trist and Emery are convinced that men will be willing to accept “the perverse inhumanity of man that characterized Nazism.” Not necessarily the structure of the Nazi state, but the moral outlook of Nazi society.

    To survive in such a state, people will need to create a new religion. Wolfe states that “the old religious forms, especially western Christianity, demand that man be responsible for his fellow humans. The new religious forms, will be a form of mystical anarchism, a religious experience much likened to satanic practice of the Nazis or the views of Carl Jung.” This is the “New Age,” the “Age of Aquarius” preached by Tavistock and Frankfurt School with its eastern, mystical religious cults that had young, brainwashed converts flocking to embrace this degeneracy. Again, it is the television that provides the “social glue” that binds the minds of the population to their new religious forms.

    (ETK note: “Softening up,” “social turbulence”…… Hmmm. Operation 9/11, the Kennedy Assassination, innumerable acts of senseless terror and mass murder imposed on an unwary public by mad scientists and their super-rich backers. In the above paragraphs we can confirm the potentially profound relationship between “Operation 9/11,” the work of highly-placed, psychopathological psychologists, the occult “New World Religion,” and the Illuminati plan for implementing world government/”Jewish Utopia”/Satan’s kingdom on earth. The following paragraphs reveal further connections and, importantly, the methods being used by the elite to obtain the New World Order.)

    … From his experience as one of the initiates in the “Children of the Sun,” a dionysian cult comprised of the children of Britain’s Round Table elite, Aldous Huxley gained material to create his most famous novel, “Brave New World” published in 1931. “Brave New World” is a virtual blueprint of a true-life, future, one-world socialist government, or as his Fabian mentor, H.G. Wells, paraphrased the title for one of his own popular novels, “The New World Order” (1940). Previously, Wells authored another book, “The Open Conspiracy: Blue Prints for a World Revolution” (1928), which openly examines how this New World Order could be attained, ostensibly for world peace and human evolution.

    Remember, the goal of Wells, (Bertrand) Russell, Huxley and company is the destruction of the sovereign power of the nation-state, and with it the elimination of a philosophical, cultural, and religious tradition dating more than 2,500 years.

    It was H.G. Wells who introduced Huxley to Satanist Aleister Crowley. Crowley was a poster child of the occult that developed in Britain from the 1860s under the influence of Edward Bulwer-Lytton- the colonial minister under Lord Palmerston during the Second Opium War. In 1886, Crowley, William Butler Yeats, poet and Nobel Prize winner and several other Bulwer-Lytton protégés formed a satanic “Isis-Urania Temple of Hermetic Students of the Golden Dawn. This Isis Cult was organized around the 1877 manuscript “Isis Unveiled” by (Jew) Madame Helena Blavatsky, in which the Russian occultist called for the British aristocracy to organize itself into an Isis priesthood.

    Firstly, Isis is a drug cult. It is a cult of high priests and secret rituals. These secret rituals have been kept inside the British Royal Family and their ruling class friends, for centuries. The cult was practiced in Egypt during the Third Dynasty of the Old Kingdom circa 2780 BC. Isis worship is essentially pagan, primitive mother worship. The Isis priesthood is a closed circle and its nobility, practiced social control, total subjugation of man’s free will, exploitation and subjugation of people.

    … Drug counterculture was precisely the weapon that the Frankfurt School and their fellow-travellers employed, over the next 50 years, to create a cultural paradigm shift away from the so-called “authoritarian” matrix of man in the living image of God, and the superiority of the republican form of nation-state over all other forms of political organization. They transformed American culture toward an erotic, perverse matrix, associated with the present “politically correct” tyranny of tolerance for dehumanizing drug abuse, sexual perversion, and the glorification of violence. For the Marxist/Freudian (Jewish) revolutionaries of the (Jewish) Frankfurt School, the ultimate antidote to the hated Western Christian civilization was to tear that civilization down, from the inside, by turning out generations of necrophiliacs.

    … The (Frankfurt School’s) Authoritarian Personality project of the late 1940’s, was responsible for engineering the Baby Boomer drug/rock/sex counterculture of the 1960s…

    The undeclared cultural war against America’s youth began in earnest in 1967, when Tavistock began using open-air rock concerts to attract over four million young people to the so-called “festivals.” Unknowningly, the youth became the victims of planned, wide-scale drug experimentation. Hallucinogenic drugs such as dimethoxyphenylethylamine (STP), phencyclidine (PCP), dextromethorphan, methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA), dimethyltryptamine (DMT), and the Beatles-promoted LSD and Blue Micro Dot LSD-25 were freely distributed at these concerts. Before long, over 50 million of these attendees between the ages of 10 to 25 years old returned home to become the messengers and promoters of the new drug culture, or what came to be called the “New Age.”

    In “Brave New World,” Huxley centers on the scientific methodology for keeping all populations outside the elite minority in a permanently autistic-like condition actually in love with their servitude. Speaking at the California Medical School in San Francisco (in 1962), Huxley announced:

    “There will be in the next generation or so a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak. Producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies so that people will in fact, have their liberties taken away from them but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda, or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution.”

    To (H.G.) Wells’ way of thinking, this wasn’t a conspiracy, but rather a “one-world brain” functioning as “a police of the mind.”

    … Degeneration has played a large role in the paradigm shift of our society. What is this shift, again? Man is to be told that he is a beast, so that he might be controlled like one. The brainwashers of Tavistock adopted a bestial view that the human mind is simply a blank slate, which avoids pain and seeks pleasure. It was from this standpoint that the Tavistock Institute developed its peculiar techniques for creating mass psychology.

    (ETK note: The above passages indicate that Tavistock/Frankfurt School/CIA brainwashing/mind control operations are designed to reduce human beings to the status of beasts by degrading their culture and inciting mass trauma, terror, and psychosis. The majority of the key “spychiatrists” that developed these diabolical programs were/are Jews and/or high level Freemasons. It cannot be mere coincidence that the Jewish word for and perception of non-Jews is “goyim,” meaning “cattle” or “beast.”

    II. Transcription/Summary of “Unmasking the Spooks Spies and Spidery Connections of the Illuminati Global Intelligence Network;” www.powerofprophecy.com interview of Victor Thorn by Texe Marrs that documents the explosive post-9/11 growth of the (global) black intelligence state.

    Marrs: We’ll talk today about “unmasking the spooks, spies, and spidery connections of the Illuminati global intelligence network.” It’s not just here in America; all these intelligence agencies are working together Yes, the CIA works with every intelligence agency in the entire world, even including Iranian and North Korean intelligence agencies, according to an American ex-intelligence officer.

    America has now its troops in 120 (actually 160 out of about 190) nations, and apparently, its intelligence agencies are in each of these countries as well. We have space satellites spying on the entire earth that can actually read the fine print on golf balls. They are spying on us; they may have our phones and our houses wiretapped and our cars tapped and bugged.

    Now I’m not asking you to become paranoid. But I’ve always said this about that. Maybe the people who are called paranoid are just more aware of reality. We who study conspiracies are not “conspiracy theorists;” we are “conspiracy scientists.” We want to get to the bottom of things. And although people talk about growth of the “police state,” isn’t it really the growth of the “intelligence state?” Black intelligence? Black intel?

    And they want to know everything about our lives. They want access to our medical records. And now with Obama’s Medicare, they’ll have access to these records. They are setting up a data base. Everything about you they’ll know from their computers. I talk about this in my two books, “Project LUCID” (“Logical Universal Communications Interactive Data Bank”) and “Days of Hunger Days of Chaos.” Their own intelligence sources say that the goal is get everyone chipped with RFID chips. And they are watching your food supply. They know how to confiscate it.

    The IRS, FBI, and hundreds of other intelligence agencies that you may not have heard about are spying on us. There is now a World Food Agency (Authority) set up in Europe that is run by the United Nations. The head of that agency, says “food is power, we will use it as a weapon.” Sure, if they deny food to a person, after 3 or 4 days to a week they’ll tell them anything they want to know. That’s why the government has executive orders for marshal law already in place. They can close down every grocery store in America and give everybody a little ration card. But the question will be, when you get to the store, “have you got the chip, have you taken the mark?” If not, “we’re sorry, we can’t sell you the food, or the seeds, or fertilizer, or whatever in the coming New World.” If you hoard food, there’s an executive order saying you can’t. Hmm. Black intelligence.

    There was a great book, “Occult Theocracy,” published years ago by Lady Queensborough (Edith Starr). In it, she explains and proves that there is a global network of Masonic and other secret societies that work together. They provide intelligence to the Illuminati elite, who are the leaders in many countries of the world. Do you have Masonic lodges in your town and your city? Yes, you do. We know there are two million Scottish Rite Freemasons in America. And there are others types of Masons; the Oddfellows, Elks, etc. Fidel Castro is a member of the Freemasons and, like so many others, he is always giving Masonic hand signs when he gives speeches. These Masonic Lodges have intelligence agencies. Any Mason is welcome in any Masonic lodge in the world. So they can pass intelligence messages back and forth. There are no windows in Masonic lodges.

    I was commanding officer of the prime unit, called Mobile Communications, that did the cryptography for the U.S. Air Force as well as the CIA, DIA, and NSA. We encoded their messages. I found out a lot of things. I realized then that what we read in the newspapers is completely false. It is like a phony, parallel world. I was working in a unit in Northern Italy in a building as big as a Walmart that was full of computers. We knew any time any country exploded an atomic weapon or fired a missile. We could pinpoint the very moment it was detonated. So I’m very aware of these things.

    There’s all kinds of intelligence going on in the world. I’m aware that I’m being watched all the time. I know I don’t have any privacy because of the work that I do at power of prophecy for you, for America, and for God. I’d like to have some privacy but I’ve chosen my way of life, which is to unmask these things. So they are watching me. I’m not happy about this.

    The IRS and FBI have intelligence agencies. Now it is the “International FBI,” which has agents in Moscow, Paris, and elsewhere all over the world. And there are international police agencies and agents. Interpol.

    The Vatican has intelligence. And they share intelligence with the CIA, MI5, MI6, the French, the Russians, Masonic lodges, and other secret societies that also have spies. I mentioned the NRO (National Reconnaissance Organization) and NSA (National Security Agency). There are hundreds of intelligence agencies..

    Remember Henry Ford said the “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” are real…. That Jews intend to take over the world and execute the goyim, the gentiles who will not obey. “The Protocols” come out of the International Zionist Congress in 1897, where the top, richest Jews in the world met, such as Rothschild. I’m sure Lenin and Trotsky must have been there.

    The Protocols state their plan: “We shall create and multiply Freemasonic lodges in all the countries of the world. Absorb into them all who may become or who are prominent in public activity. For in these lodges we shall find our principal intelligence office and means of influence. Among the members of the lodges will be almost all the agents of international and national police.”

    You know, I’ve been across this country and I’m seeing Freemasonic symbols on police uniforms all over the country. An interesting book on Freemasonry exposed the fact that vast majority of the police in Great Britain are Freemasons. A few years later the author was found dead. They value their secrecy.

    The CIA works with all the other intelligence agencies, but especially with Britain’s MI6 and MI5 and Israel’s Mossad. The Mossad also has a secret service called Shin and other called Betar. Israel depends on the vast network of Israeli spies and civilian spies (“sayanim”) all around the world. Like Rahm Emanuel, who is undoubtedly a Mossad mole, a “mega agent,” right in the midst of the White House.

    Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, gave an interview in which he said that he’s proud to say he became a Mason when he was in the U.S. President Clinton is also Mason. When he went to Israel to attend the funeral of his Masonic brother, Ishtak Rabin, the Jerusalem Post had an add welcoming their Masonic brother, Bill Clinton, to Israel.

    Like most of the founding fathers, George Washington was a Mason. And when he died he was given a Masonic funeral. His tomb at Mount Vernon, his estate in Virginia, is an Egyptian tomb with two obelisks and the Queen’s entrance. Likewise, are the tombs of James Madison and others. But these things are hidden and unknown to most Americans.

    Today, the intelligence agencies are growing, growing, growing. A week ago, the Washington Post published the results of a two year investigation entitled “Top Secret America: A Washington Post Investigation.” (The Washington Post is basically run by the CIA, so I think they are bragging about this and want to frighten us into thinking they are some kind of Behemoth. But every once in a while they tell the truth.). Two reporters, Dana Priest and William Harken, report in this article:

    “The intelligence community is a hidden world growing beyond control. The top-secret world the government created in response to the terrorist attacks of September, 11, 2001…..:

    Stop right there: We already had an enormous intelligence system before 9/11, but 9/11 gave them the pretext to spend $100’s of billions more of our tax-payer dollars to create this huge, black intelligence monolith or “Behemoth”…. Read the Book of Job, it’s a prophetic book. It says “behold, now Behemoth.”

    Continuing the article: “This intelligence community has become so large, so unwieldy, and so secretive that no one knows how much money it costs, how many people it employs, how many programs exist within it or exactly how many agencies do the same work. There is an alternative geography of the United States, a top-secret America hidden from public view and lacking in thorough oversight. After nine years of unprecedented spending and growth (after 9/11) the result is that the system put in place to keep the United States safe is so massive that its effectiveness is impossible to determine.”

    Here are some of the results of the investigation. And this is just what has grown up since 9/11:

    “Some 1271 government organizations and 1,931 private companies work on programs related to counter-terrorism, Homeland Security, and intelligence in about 10,000 locations across the United States.”

    Marrs: So they are in your community and in your neighborhood probably. You don’t even know about them. If you ask them what they are doing in your community, they will lie to you about.

    Post article continues: “An estimated 854,000 people, nearly 1.5 times as many people as live in Washington, D.C. hold top secret security clearances.”

    Marrs: 854,000 people! And that’s not all the ones that work in intelligence, that’s just the ones that hold top-secret security clearances.

    Post article continues: “In Washington and the surrounding area, 33 building complexes for top secret intelligence work are under construction or have been built since September, 2001.”

    Marrs: Some years ago, I was invited by a Christian TV station in Washington, DC to talk about these kinds of things. This station, which was assigned the number 66 by the FCC, was the only Christian television station in Washington. I talked for about 4 hours. On my last night, I was told that the Christian owner of the station just got an offer from a Jewish billionaire who wants to buy the station. It was a huge sum of money and so the owner of the station sold it. I was maybe the last guest. One of these Jewish billionaires who owns one of these home shopping networks on TV bought the station and I guess it became part of his home shopping network. Not only that, on my last night, two CIA agents from Langley, VA walked in to hear the interview. They said: “We just wanted to meet you, Mr. Marrs.” This was to let me know that they were watching, ever watching.

    Did you know that the US now has it’s own U.S. Cyber-Command of the military and the intelligence agencies? It’s part of the NSA. The logo of this unit has a Satanic image on it. Likewise, with the logo of the NSA (National Security Agency) has a Satanic image on it. With the Executive Orders that have been passed, Obama can turn off the internet anytime he wants

    Let’s talk about how this black intelligence state all came about. There have been intelligence units all the way back to the Civil War, of course. Both the North and the South had spies. During World War II, we had the OSS (Office of Special Services) under “Wild Bill” Donovan. After WWII, in 1947, under President Truman, the National Security Act was passed. This created the National Security Council and the Central Intelligence Agency. It’s not part of our Constitution- so it’s probably unconstitutional, but they passed this law anyway. Since then all these other intelligence agencies have formed; the National Security Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), the National Reconnaissance Organization (NRO), the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI). And then there are also all these private groups of mercenary spies. There are probably hundreds of groups like Blackwater working with the CIA. And the CIA now has its own its own Air Force. They have the predator drone aircraft. There was a big fight between the Air Force and the CIA to see who would get to control these drone spy aircraft. The CIA won. They can watch and track you with drones. And then there are the RFID (radio frequency identification cards), these smart cards, and later smart chips, that can go in your body. People are already taking these chips. And you can be tracked with these.

    Have you noticed how many traffic cameras there are out there now? Leave your house and go two miles to Walmart and you’ll probably pass 100 cameras. Everywhere, we are being watched. And now, every time you make a phone call, every time you use the computer, they are watching, possibly. If you use certain key words, they collect your message and store it on their (“Beast”) computers.

    (ETK note: This description of the enormous size and scope of the “World Black Intelligence State” certainly helps account for the many confusing reports concerning gangstalking/citizen spying that I describe in Appendix 9. “Gang Stalking:” Organized and Electronic Targeting the “Domestic Enemy.” Notes from Books, Youtube Presentations, and Blogs” on this website). Recall from that Appendix 9 that one in six civilians were recruited as citizen spies by the Stasi Police of East Germany during the Cold War. Recall also from this appendix that a New York Times article in 2003 reported that the Department of Homeland Security wants to enlist one in three Americans as citizen spies. The East German Stasi was the black intelligence agency that evolved from the Soviet secret police (Cheka) that, in turn, morphed into the modern German DVD and probably also the CIA, Mossad, etc. In the evolution of these agencies and their totalitarian methods, we can trace the imprint of the Jewish/Satanic Illuminati throughout.

    Hence, American citizens need to try to understand that the global black intelligence state now controls nearly all aspects of our society. Utilizing the long-established practice of “influence mapping,” spooks work behind the scenes to ensure that the proper individuals are in the right jobs and promote the proper “story-line” (propaganda). Much research indicates that the British/German/American intelligence agencies have refined the methods of Satanic Ritual Abuse by which total mind-control slaves can be “engineered” and subsequently controlled throughout their lives to fulfill specific functions for the elite. Traditionally, although these agencies are actually the primary source of “terrorist” operations, they blame their targets and enemies for the “terrorist operations” (such as 9/11) and refer to their own activities as “counter-terrorism” or counter-insurgency.” Utilizing the vast array of psychological and spying methods available to them in “gang stalking” operations (see Appendices 9 and 20), they are now targeting, “neutralizing,” and “eliminating” patriotic Americans and groups that oppose their one-world government/economy/religion system.

    Think of it. The international, inter-locking black intelligence agencies that covertly rule the world now have at their command: 1) virtually unlimited financial resources, 2) vast numbers of federal and private agencies and still greater numbers of citizen volunteers who are duped into believing they are helping the government combat terrorism, (when they are actually aiding the real terrorists), 3) the accumulated psychological warfare and mind control techniques and tools developed by all previous intelligence agencies (including that garnered from Nazi and CIA mind-control experiments/programs like “Marionette,” “Monarch,” MK-ULTRA, etc.), and 4) roving “shock troops” of “spychologists” and “spychiatirsts” who are covertly targeting patriotic citizens, and 5) extremely sophisticated and high-tech military technologies and capabilities, including directed energy weapons, of which the public is still unaware. Please see the website www.fightgangstalking.com and my Appendices 9 and 20 on this website in this regard. The image that emerges is that of nearly countless compartmentalized cadres of people controlled through a variety of hierarchical command structures. Individuals and groups within this black intelligence/police state system commonly assume false identities and create “cut-out” or “front companies” in order to entrap and deceive individuals and organizations that the CIA/NSA/Mossad/Illuminati plutocracy targets. As was documented by the Church Senate hearings in 1977, the these kinds of intelligence operations and operatives ALL violate the laws of the land. The Church Committee revealed that over 10,000 of these illegal operations were conducted by the CIA itself as of the mid 1970’s. Now, extrapolate this system into the present! Meanwhile, to protect themselves, these “spooks,” “spies,” “change agents,” “agents of influence,” “agent provocateurs,” “Law Enforcement Intelligence Units” (LEIUs), “citizen spies,” “domestic spies,” “perpetrators,” “vigilante volunteers,” “intelligence security contrators,” “sayanim” of Israel, Mossad, CIA, FBI Cointel-Pro (counterintelligence program), etc., operating under innumerable false identities and covers/fronts/cut-out organizations, always try to maintain plausible deniability, etc.

    What does this portend for America and the world? It portends implementation of a fascist global totalitarian police state wherein individuals are mere slaves and serfs in a new feudal One World Government run by the (Jewish) plutocracy. The so-called Jewish Utopia would certainly mean death, slavery, and/or living hell for all non-Jews. We are now well advanced toward the realization of this age-old utopian dream of the Jewish/Masonic/Satanic hierarchy, which appears to be led by Satan himself.

    It is demonstrated on this website and elsewhere that the Mujahideen, Northern Alliance, Taliban, Al Qaeda, Isis and innumerable other so-called “terrorist” groups are all creations of and controlled by the CIA, the Israeli Mossad, etc.

    When are Americans going to wake up and realize that when the U.S. Congress passed the National Security Act in 1947 that created the CIA and NSC that Congress, in effect, created a private army for international banking cartels and syndicates run by the Illuminati Sanhedrin and the Rothschild, Rockefeller, Morgan families, among others. In other words, these intelligence agencies have always worked for the global financial elite and against the interests of the American citizenry, whom they regard as “goyim,” cattle, slaves, and beasts.

    Today, this “Big Brother on steroids” “intelligence state” not only spies on citizens all over the world, it also interferes on a vast scale in all aspects of our lives. Indeed, it may now be “culling the herd,” using geoengineering/chemtrails/HAARP/weather warfare and other covert means. But to the insect operatives/slaves/operatives of the Satanic “hive mind,” it appears that this is all just a game. And so we have “game theory,” video games,” “war games,” “Mind War,” “blood games,” “hunger games.” As I recall, immediately after 9/11, an intelligence operative was quoted as saying: “Let the games begin.” Can you spell and pronounce “pscyhopath?” When will Americans wake up and extirpate this lethal parasite that thrives by drinking our blood and that of our children?)

    Interview with Victor Thorn, author of “Front Man, the Dark Plot of Obama”

    And now we are going to talk to my good friend, Victor Thorn, author of “Front Man, the Dark Plot of Obama.” I want to ask Victor Thorn if Obama is part of this shadowy, worldwide intelligence network. And not just as President. But was it the CIA that helped to groom and mentor him? Was he working with the CIA? Thorn says that Clinton also worked with the CIA. George H.W. Bush, of course, was Director of the CIA and was a CIA agent before he ever became a Congressman. Now George W. Bush was just a clone, a puppet, and an idiot so they didn’t really want him in the intelligence field. But I guess because he was part of the Bush Dynasty they made him president.

    Now what I want you to understand, dear friends, is that this network is absolutely gigantic. It covers the IRS, the FBI, the Vatican, Masonic Lodges, the OTO (Ordo Templi Orientis) and probably other secret societies as well, the Israeli Mossad, the Israeli Shin, the Israeli Betar, all working together. This is the shadowy network that is everywhere, in 10,000 locations just since 9/11(!). And just think of all the billions of dollars that were spent on this spying apparatus before 9/11! Now they are joining hand in hand to watch us, to track us, and maybe to some day to take us away to gulags, to concentration camps.

    But my friends, this comes from the Bible (Proverbs 11:21): “Though hand joined in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished.” (laughs) I love that. God knows what’s going on. He knows even the very hearts of these evil men.

    Now our guest, Victor Thorn, is one of the best investigators in the world. He’s written a number of books on the Clintons, on their drug dealings. And it looks like “Big Sister” Hillary Clinton might run for President again. Also, I have a video called “Rothschild’s Choice” about Obama and the hidden cabal that is out to murder America. Thorn’s new book is a smash. It really digs in to what’s going on. It’s called “Front Man: The Dark Plot of Obama.” Here, you’ll learn about the Bilderbergers, the Council on Foreign Relations, about Obama’s connection to the communist terrorist underground, and about his connections to Israel and the Mossad.

    Victor Thorn, welcome to Power of Prophecy! Today’s program is about the “Intelligence State.” A lot of people worry about the Police State. But really, it’s the Intelligence State, I think, that wraps up the Police State and everything within it. Going back to the days of Senator Frank Church’s Committee (in 1977), we’ve known of the misdeeds and foul doings of the CIA. And we know that President Kennedy once threatened to splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces. But we also know that they did him in because he was one of their mortal foes. So here’s what I’d like you to talk about. You have investigated both the Clinton and Obama Adminstrations. Tell us, are there CIA intelligence ties to the Clinton and Obama administrations and how does this fit in to the American breakdown that is occurring in front of our eyes today?

    Thorn: Thank you. The best way to start is to ask the question that everyone was asking when Obama first came on the scene. And that is: Who is this guy and where did he come from? But unfortunately, except for your video and my book, nearly every other source does not dig deep enough to find the answers. So we need to ask about his ties to Israel and the Mossad and Zionism and also the intel agency.

    Last April, I did an interview with (radio hostess) Deanna Spingola and she said that: “The CIA had their eyes on Barack Obama from “day one.”” There’s a good chance he’s been a CIA product since inception. Inception is a key word because it could also mean conception. Could they have had their eyes on him even before he was born? That’s a mind-boggling thought. But if you look at his mother…. And all this is chronicled in my book, “Front Man.”

    His (Jewish- ETK) mother was a CIA cut-out who was recruited by various intel agencies in the late 1950’s. And the purpose was to infiltrate the Black Nationalists and the civil rights organizations that were forming at that time, such as the Nation of Islam, or Malcolm X, the Black Panthers, or even Martin Luther King. The “Powers that Be” had a lot of concerns about these.

    In the back of my book there is perhaps the most important chapter in the book, entitled: “Who is Barack Obama’s Real Father?” And I come up with a man named Frank Marshall Davis, who was a member and founder of Chicago’s Communist Party, USA. He had to flee to Hawaii after the heat got too heavy in the United States. And I allege in this book that Frank Marshall Davis is actually Barack Obama’s father. Davis acted as a mentor. And when you look at his mother at this time in Hawaii. Supposedly, she was some poor, single, divorced woman. But actually, during Barack Obama’s formative years, she travelled to 13 countries and worked for two companies that were famous for providing cover for the CIA (called “cut-out” companies). One of her employees at the Ford Foundation was Peter Geithner (the father of Tim Geithner, the Treasury Secretary of the United States). So here was Barack Obama’s mother working for Tim Geithner’s father at the Ford Foundation.

    Marrs: Wow, what a web we weave, right?

    Thorn: Yes, so we see these little incestuous circles starting to be formed. If we go forward a little bit… I also interviewed a black man named Pastor James David Manning and he says that Obama was recruited into the CIA during his time at Occidental College in California. The big question is why would the CIA want to recruit this guy who supposedly, was just some kid from a broken home…. (Very similar to Bill Clinton). In 1979, the most pivotal event going on was the Soviet-Afghanistan war, and the CIA admittedly had very few inroads into the Arab world at that time. So they wanted someone who had some familiarity with this (Arab) world. So here we have a kid who spent a lot of time during his youth in Indonesia. Some people say he was actually a Moslem and he definitely understood the Islamic culture. So they wanted him to provide his assistance to the Mujahideen as a CIA logistics agent. So to get him out of Occidental College, they needed some cover because had spent two years there and people knew him at Occidental College. He couldn’t just disappear. So they very conveniently transferred him to Columbia University where no one knew him.

    The next big question is: Who was a professor at Columbia then that might have taken him under his wing? The answer is Zbigniew Brzezinski, who was not only an expert on Russia, he was also associated with the CIA since the 1950’s, he was co-founder of the Trilateral Commission with David Rockefeller, he was Jimmy Carter’s National Security Advisor. And he wrote one of the most pivotal books at that time, called “The Grand Chessboard” which was really a blueprint for our later (2001- present) Afghani war. So, Zbigniew Brzezinski recruits Obama. And in 1981 and 1982, Obama travels between Pakistan and Russia. Now what is really interesting is that in his biographies, which more than likely were ghost- written by William Ayres, the terrorist from the Weather Underground, he says that when he arrived in New York City from Occidental College that he was so poor that he didn’t have enough money to even get a room. Yet, here he is traveling from the U.S. to Pakistan to Russia. It is also quite interesting that Bill Clinton, during his college days, also traveled, under the auspices of the CIA, to Russia also.

    Radio hostess, Deanna Spingola, during this interview, says that Obama was the lead agent in the arms and money and drug supply chain for the CIA-trained Taliban army in the war against the Soviets. And she says that Obama was one of the integral members in the Taliban’s success. And if we remember, this war of Russia against Afghanistan (that was orchestrated by Bzrezinski when he was National Security Adviser for President Jimmy Carter) became Russia’s Vietnam and eventually led to the downfall of the Soviet Empire. So America had a lot invested in ensuring that the Mujahideen defeated the Russian army.

    (ETK note: Indeed, the CIA had invested billions of dollars in this operation, which was the largest and most costly CIA operation up until that time…. Later to be superseded by “Operation 9/11,” I’m sure.)

    Now if we go up to the 2008 presidential campaign, Obama, for the first time in his life, actually admitted that he had gone to Pakistan in 1981. And yet in his two autobiographies, he never mentioned that he had gone to Pakistan. So here is a 20-year old kid traveling to Pakistan and to Russia who never mentions this in his autobiographies. So you have to wonder what is going on.

    Marrs: Supposedly, he went to Columbia University. And I’ve long heard that Columbia is heavily linked with the CIA and carries on many different projects with them. And their school of journalism is the nation’s number one source for CIA-paid journalists who go on to work at CNN, Washington Post, New York Times, etc. Obama also evidently worked as a consultant for a company called Business International, which you report is also a CIA proprietary company. But he was just a young man. What would he be doing as a consultant? We don’t really know what he did there, right?

    Thorn: Yes, the name of the company was Business International Corporation, it’s a CIA cut-out. And again, Texe, in his autobiographies, Obama does not mention this as his first real job. Anybody’s first job is big deal in their lives. Why doesn’t he mention it? Because it’s a CIA company and he didn’t want anyone trailing this.

    So going back to the story…. In 1981, when he traveled to Pakistan, Pakistan was in severe turmoil, so badly that they actually imposed marshal law. And there was a ban on people traveling from the U.S. to Pakistan. And we know that Obama was in New York City supposedly attending Columbia University at that time. Yet he was able to travel to Pakistan and by-pass this travel ban. How did he do it? He didn’t have a U.S. passport. He had and used an Indonesian passport. So this all goes back to his birth status. Where was he actually born? Why doesn’t he have a U.S. passport? Instead, he has an Indonesian passport.

    Marrs: So this is the reason that Obama and his handlers are desperate to keep this mysterious past bottled up, including where he was born and his mysteriously missing birth certificate.

    Now, Rahm Emanuel comes into this, and you cover this in your book. You say he was tied in with “Mega,” he was working with the Clinton Administration and he works now with Obama. How close does (the Israeli) Mossad work with the CIA? And is Obama really as much a Mossad agent then as a CIA agent?

    Thorn: Well, I believe that the Mossad and the CIA are like a hand in a glove. You and I are on the same page on this. At the American Free Press conference you and I recently attended, you were quoting people who claimed that Obama is America’s first Jewish president.

    A lot of researchers claim that the mysterious “mega,” this Mossad spy within the Clinton White House, was actually Rahm Emanuel. And I wrote an article a few weeks ago for American Free Press that claims that Rahm Emanuel may be the mole within the Obama Administration also. In other words, Israel needs someone very close to the President to keep an eye on him. And not only does Rahm Emanuel bolster Barack Obama, he also has the ability to chop him off at his knees. And in this article I give quite a bit of evidence for this. So if they ever need to pull a Richard Nixon on Obama, Rahm Emanuel is in the perfect position to do just that. You know how they say: “keep your friends close and your enemies closer?” Well, with a friend like that, or enemy like that, whatever the case may be, I think Barack Obama should be looking over his shoulder all the time because this (Emmanuel) isn’t a guy to be trusted whatsoever.

    Marrs: But as long as Obama (toes the line), and all his life he’s been mentored, trained and groomed for this job, there is probably no reason for him to jump ship and be independent of his Mossad/CIA handlers, is there? His job has rewarded him and his family so far. So it seems like they may be watching over him so there are no missteps and he doesn’t try to pull a JFK. But it seems like he’s not going to do that and he is playing according to their script, isn’t he?

    Thorn: Yes, I go by people’s actions. And this guy… every opportunity he has, you know, he met with Netanyahu last week, and he was completely fawning over this guy. Barack Obama is the “emptiest suit” of any President we’ve ever had, even more so than George W. Bush. I mean he’s done nothing in his life. His highest real job was as a community organizer. I know he was in the Senate, but these are jobs that were set up for him, and they paved the way for him. So he’s a complete question mark. When you look at his past, when he travels to Pakistan, he’s meeting with the Prime Minister of Pakistan, with the leader of the Northern Command, with ex-Soviet war veterans, with the people from the Mujahideen. So we have to ask ourselves, Texe, how is a 20-year old kid, a college student, meeting with some of the most important people in this war at this time? And he actually stayed with a man named Mohamadian Sumra, who was the interim Prime Minister of Pakistan, who is also tied in with BCCI, which is probably the biggest, dirtiest (CIA) banking scandal of all time. So how is this college kid, with no money, no resources, meeting with the highest people in Pakistan, in Afghanistan, and even Russians? It doesn’t make sense unless you look at him as a CIA asset. That’s the only thing that makes sense.

    Marrs: We know that George Herbert Walker Bush, the first Bush president, was not only the head of the CIA (in 1976), but he was also was working in the CIA at a lower level in Dallas, Texas at the time of the JFK assassination and was implicated in the plot to kill JFK.

    Thorn: Yes, there is a lot of evidence for that and good videotapes out there on that subject.

    And one of the other things we have to look at. In the period between 1981 and 1983, people may say that Barack Obama was at Columbia University. But the truth of the matter is that there is absolutely no evidence that Barack Obama was ever at Columbia University. There’s no transcript, no yearbook accounts, no work records, no housing records, no friends, no associates. A guy named Wayne Allen Wrote, who ran as a vice presidential candidate of the Libertarian Party, was in the same graduating class and major (Political Science) as Barack Obama at Columbia University. He interviewed 400 people in his graduating class and he couldn’t find a single person that knew Obama, saw him, or remembered him there at Columbia University. So not only have all of his college records at Occidental, Columbia, and Harvard been sealed and not released. His birth certificate records are also sealed and haven’t been released. So what we have here with this guy is a huge question mark. If he wasn’t at Columbia for those three years, where was he?

    Marrs: A horrible thing, a Manchurian-type candidate. So it’s all just a fake resume reference, isn’t it? Victor Thorn, please keep up the good work. God bless you my friend.

    Concluding Comments by ETK

    I have read many articles available on the internet that present evidence that Barack Obama’s mother was a Jewish CIA asset and that the CIA has controlled Barack Obama’s entire life. In view of evidence presented in Thorn’s book, these articles, and information presented in my “Chapter 6: Mind Control: History and Applications” (on this website) it seems likely that Obama may be a victim of the CIA MKULTRA and Monarch (aka “Marionette”) programs. In other words, he could be a mind-controlled slave. If so, he would probably have had the job of “courier” during these early years. Various books about Monarch slaves written by recovering victims, such as O’Brien and Phillips’ “Trance Formation of America,” indicate that these slaves have radically increased abilities to memorize, store, and deliver messages from political leaders, etc. (This way nothing is ever committed to writing). In this scenario, Obama proved his usefulness to the “crptocracy” (rule by secrecy) in his youth and has continued to be the (empty) mouthpiece of his CIA/Mossad handlers subsequently. There is an implication here that President Clinton might have also functioned in the same way, as a courier and mouthpiece for the “cryptocracy.”

    If so, how terribly, terribly, terribly monstrous and sad. I am reminded of the words spoken by the intelligence officer (played by Frank Sinatra) at the conclusion of the 1962 movie, “The Manchurian Candidate,” when he finally understands the true nature of his profession and his government: “Hell, hell.”)

    Add it up, dear reader. I’m afraid it does add up…. And the picture that emerges here is of a world-wide hierarchical network that employs diabolical methods (Satanic Ritual Abuse/mind control) to control its own “soldiers.” Cathy O’Brien and Mark Phillips, book, “Trance Formation of America” as well as other books by survivors of government mind-control programs describes the dimensions of this shadowy, hidden world that is based on torture, terror and deception. Falling back on the Christian worldview, which seems increasingly appropriate to describe the world system now in power, it seems that Satan, “the God of this world” and his legions are “black magicians.” The only possible way they can defeat God and bring the souls of men and women to hell with him, again, is by employing magic, via deception, torture, and terror, to concoct a “false reality matrix.” If we shine the light of truth upon the matrix and the diabolical inventors of these evil things and the Satanic superstructure will crumble. Meanwhile, this diabolical system is capturing millions of souls for perdition. Hence, we truth tellers must continue to try to expose and oppose these legions of the duped and the damned.

  • 30 AUGUST 1922: REBIRTH OF A NATION    By: Ayhan Ozer

    30 AUGUST 1922: REBIRTH OF A NATION By: Ayhan Ozer

    The month of August has a special meaning for the Turkish nation. When the WW I ended with the defeat of the Ottoman Empire the Allies imposed the notorious Treaty of Sevres on the country. It was signed on August 10, 1920 by the Sultan Vahdettin’s supine Istanbul Government. This Treaty brought to the end once vast and glorious Ottoman Empire that had been in existence for 622 years. The fledgling nationalist government in Ankara under Mustafa Kemal did not recognize this cruel Treaty of Sevres, and the new Grand National Assembly in its session of August 19, 1920 proclaimed the three signatories as “traitors”. This Treaty was never ratified. It was an ominous August.

     

    With the blessing of the British the Greek Army landed in Izmir on 15 May 1919. The country was in a hopeless state; vanquished, exhausted and prostrate. When all those ominous conditions converged at a lowest point, a God-sent savior emerged in the national scene. This hero was Mustafa Kemal. In heart and soul he was devoted to the liberation of the country. For the conventional wisdom prevailing at that time in the country the idea of liberation was “insane”, the morale was very low, the nation had already resigned to its blind fate helplessly. Indeed, the challenges that the country was facing were insurmountable. The odds were overwhelmingly against the nation; it has no army, no money, no equipment, no weapons, and no logistics. Only a miracle, a divine intervention could have saved the country. And surprisingly that miracle was personified in Mustafa Kemal. He was endowed with superb attributes. He was a military genius, a shrewd diplomat with a long vision, and an ultimate statesman imbued with selfless devotion and love for his country. He was the anointed liberator destined to overcome all the adversities.

     

    The Greek Army penetrated deep into the Turkish heartland. It launched a major offensive on July 10, 1921, and pushed the Turkish forces to the East of the Sakarya River. It was poised to capture Ankara, the Capital of the Nationalist government. Speculations ran wild about the Turkish cause as having been lost. At that critical juncture, on August 4, 1921, The National Assembly assigned to Mustafa Kemal the post of Commander-in- chief with absolute power for a duration of only three months! He was charged to check and to defeat the Greek Army. Mustafa Kemal accepted this pivotal post as his calling. Such an absolute mandate could only be given to a noble and tested person. Mustafa Kemal had proven himself repeatedly with his brilliant track records and credentials. He was a rising star, a legendary army general with epic victories in his records. He had been a devoted servant to his Nation and a humble disciple of his country. His respect for the law and order demonstrated  his unparalleled democratic spirit and civility.

     

    This Greek aggression brought the Turkish Nationalists to a fateful August. The Turkish Army, under the command of Mustafa Kemal fought the Greek forces in a pitch-battle called “Sakarya Meydan Muharebesi” along a front of 60 miles. In a life-and-death struggle that lasted 22 days the Greek Army was routed on August 24, 1921, and forced to retreat. The Grand National Assembly, recognizing the extraordinary leadership qualities of Mustafa Kemal conferred upon him the title of Marshal and “Gazi.”

     

    The ultimate goal of Mustafa Kemal was an unconditional liberation of the Nation. He knew that this required a decisive victory. The world public opinion, even some Turkish intellectuals in Istanbul, and some deputies in Ankara were still skeptical of such victory. They believed that the Turkish Army had only defensive capability but no offensive competency. They argued that the liberation of the country was a utopia, and could not have been won by force of arms; it must be secured by negotiation at the table, or accepting the mandate of a powerful country. Mustafa Kemal strongly felt that no favor would be granted to any nation if that nation has neither power nor the ability to take it by force. Only those nations endowed with those qualities can appeal to the standards of humanity and justice. He said, “The world is a field of trial. After endless ordeals the Turkish nation is being tested yet with another trial – the hardest ever! How can we expect an honorable treatment from the world community if we can not prove ourselves worthy of it? Therefore, we will rise to the challenges that this trial imposes upon us.” These words reflected the determinism of the great Leader for a decisive victory. At that time Mustafa Kemal was a very lonely person, a one-man minority, yet he had a strong conviction and a long vision. He decided that an ultimate reckoning with the invading Greek Army was inevitable. After the victory of Sakarya his Army had gained a considerable amount of self-confidence. On the other hand, the Greek High command had become ambivalent about this senseless Turkish campaign. Their troops had lost their enthusiasm, their logistics was poor, and this expedition in the hardscrabble Anatolian heartland seemed to be an endless adventure for them; furthermore, the Turks had proven much tougher than they had been made to believe. A temporary lull had set in the situation during which the Turkish Army prepared feverishly for the ultimate reckoning. Mustafa Kemal set the date of the final reckoning with the Greeks as August 26, 1922!

     

    This was an auspicious August. On August 26, Saturday before dawn the Turkish Army began its offensive. The major Greek defense positions were overrun swiftly, and on August 30 the enemy was routed decisively at Dumlupinar, with half of its troops captured or slain. This decisive victory has come to be known in the Turkish history as “The Great Offensive” or “The Pitched – battle of the Commander-in-chief in Dumlupinar.” The Turkish Army engaged in a long pursuit after the defeated and crashed  Greek Army until The Mediterranean.

     

    The western front was opened by the landing of the Greek Army in Izmir on May 15, 1919. The last Greek troop left the Turkish soil on September 17, 1922. That makes 3 years, 4 months and 2 days, or 1218 days of Greek occupation of the western Anatolia. The Turks won not only a victory, they won their country and their dignity as well.

     

    The victory of August 30th can aptly be characterized as the Rebirth of a Nation. It was a love affair between an ultimate leader who devoted himself selflessly to his country, and a grateful nation. This year the Turkish nation is celebrating the 95th anniversary of this momentous victory. We remember with gratitude, and pray for our fallen heroes who gave their lives generously and selflessly. Thanks to their altruism and heroism the future generations have lived freely, happily and prosperously on this anointed soil of the Turkish land.

  • FEAST OF SACRIFICE  (KURBAN BAYRAMI)  AND ITS ORIGIN

    FEAST OF SACRIFICE (KURBAN BAYRAMI) AND ITS ORIGIN

       The origin of this custom is in Judaism; later it was adopted by Islam. Kurban is referred to in both Old Testament and the New Testament. Yet, the Christians and the Jews do not sacrifice animal. Even though this custom did not originate in Islam only the Muslims perpetuate this barbaric ritual of slaughtering animals. And why?

    By: Ayhan Ozer

    According to the Islamic Tradition, in this lunar month of Zulhijja the Muslim world performs the Hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca. In Islam the Hajj is one of the five pillars of Islam. At the end of the Hajj the devout perform a ritual by sacrificing an animal, usually a sheep or a ram which is called “Kurban”. In English this religious offering is called sacrifice or oblation; it commemorates the Prophet Ibrahim’s readiness to sacrifice his son Ismail (from his wife Hager) at God’s request. Through this action Ibrahim demonstrated an unflinching faith, and unswerving obedience to God. However, the Judaic Tradition gives a different account for this event. It claims that the son of Ibrahim was Isaac (from his wife Sara), not Ismail. Hager was a hand-maid (a servant or an attendant of Sara). Whichever is true is a matter of interpretation. The Muslims re-enact that sacrifice as a commemoration of Ibrahim’s example of belief and submission to God’s will. The four days Feast that follows marks the culmination of the pilgrimage.

     

    “Kurban” literally means “approaching”, “approximation”. In a religious context it implies coming closer to the Divine through faith and piety. Etymologically, the word of “Kurban” is related to Korban, a Hebrew word, which also means “to approach”.

    The origin of this custom is in Judaism; later it was adopted by Islam. Kurban is referred to in both Old Testament and the New Testament. Yet, the Christians and the Jews do not sacrifice animal. Even though this custom did not originate in Islam only the Muslims perpetuate this barbaric ritual of slaughtering animals. And why?

     

    First, wisely, the Christians and the Jews realized that this archaic custom handed down from the time immemorial was wasteful and primitive, and there was no place in their lives for such an extravagant and anachronistic ritual any more. This is the economical and practical aspect. There is also a religious aspect. In the Roman times, the Jews practiced sacrificial ceremonies around Passover in their Temple located at the Moriah Mountain. In A.D. 70, this Temple was destroyed by the Roman Emperor Vespasian. This practice was interrupted until the re-building of the Temple. As the Temple was never re-built this custom lost it zeal and abandoned.

     

    As for the Christian Traditions, in the New Testament Jesus Christ is regarded as the “Lamb of God” who was “sacrificed” for the redemption of his followers. Therefore, no new sacrifice was needed. The Christians replaced this custom with bread and wine symbolizing the body and blood of Christ. Thus, only the Muslims doggedly follow this practice which is not even a teaching of Islam. Furthermore, it is a pervert notion to believe that one gets closer to God by blood-shed, by sacrificing animals! As this custom predates Muhammed, it does not carry an Islamic injunction (Farz) either.

     

    For the Muslims living in the Western world observing the Feast of Sacrifice poses certain challenges. First of all the ritual involved is very graphic; therefore it is offensive, and alien to western sentiment and culture. It also must follow strict health codes, which makes it burdensome. In some communities the Muslim congregations make  arrangements with farms or slaughter houses (abattoirs) for their ritual sacrifices to be  performed out of sight and in compliance with the health regulations.

     

    A few years back, in a mid-size German town a Muslim family was caught in a bizarre controversy. The family members were celebrating the Feast of Sacrifice in their own way. They were gathered in the balcony of their apartment, including children. A sheep was being slaughtered in full view by a man wearing a white apron, and wielding a butcher knife. Blood splattered around. The scene was graphic  and hair-raising. The neighbors were outraged. This caused an uproar. The TV camera focused on this ghastly scene depicting it as an Islamic sacrificial ritual. Several complaints were filed. The Mayor of the city came on TV, and condemned this “barbaric” practice. He accused the family of violating the law and being insensitive to their neighbors’ feelings, and furthermore for being inconsiderate of the customs and the norms of the country.

     

    Some benevolent aspects of the religious rituals may be tolerated by the followers of other religious traditions as well. The people can relate to the observances in other religions, and view them as festive celebrations in a community spirit. Those rituals are also venerated as solemn remembrance and a renewed commitment to a Deity. All those observances are by and large common in all faiths; however, such parochial customs should be practiced in strict  privacy, and the respect to other peoples’ feelings and sensitivities must be paramount.

  • Texas House Resolution HR-191: Anatomy of A Shameful Armenian “Genocide” Resolution

    ferruh demirmen

    By Ferruh Demirmen, Ph.D.

    2105 atexas

    July 18, 2017

     

    Years of Turkish apathy and passivity, combined with Armenian aggressiveness and Western prejudice, took their toll earlier this year when the Texas House of Representatives voted to recognize Armenian “genocide.” It happened on May 19, 2017, and the Turkish side was at a disadvantage all along.

     

    Groundwork by Armenian lobby

     

    Texas, the second largest U.S. state, had long been a coveted target for the Armenian lobby in the U.S. Until 2015, all efforts to have Armenian “genocide” recognized by Texas had failled. In 2015, on the centennial of the 1915 events in Ottoman Anatolia, the lobby’s California-based Western arm, ANCA-WR (Armenian National Committe of America – Western Region) set its eyes on Texas for the recognition of Armenian “genocide.” Tours involving Armenian activists at town-hall meetings were arranged, State elected officials were individually visited, and the Dallas, Austin and Houston chapters of ANCA-WR were established. Visits to Armenian churches were part of the activities.

     

    Equally significantly, in 2016 the lobby supported State Representative Scott Sanford, who is also the Executive Pastor of a Baptist church in Texas. At a gala organized by ANCA-Dallas in April 2016, Representative Sanford was awarded “Advocate for Justice Award” for his “strong dedication to raising awareness about the Armenian Genocide.” In response, Rep. Sanford outlined his plan of action for official recognition of Armenian “genocide” by the Texas legislature.

     

    It was a quid-pro-quo arrangement, and Christian solidarity no doubt entered the equation.

     

    There were few other Texas politicians supporting Armenians at the gala, and a letter from U.S. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, who had previously called for recognition of the “genocide of Armenian, Assyrian and other Christians,” was read. ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian talked as well, advocating “genocide “recognition and briefing the audience on Congressional efforts to isolate Azerbaijan. He condemned the killing of “Christian Armenians” by ISIS. (Notice the adjective “Christian.” Also no mention of other victims!).

     

    One wonders whether the Texas politicians present at the gala knew of the fact that a predecessor of Hamparian, former ANCA president Mourad Topalian, was convicted in 2011 on charges of illegally storing explosives and owning machine guns. Topalian served almost 3 years in federal prison. He was a guest of honor at a gala held in 2015 by ANCA-WR in California.

     

    Promise fulfilled

     

    As soon as the 2017 biennial legislative session for the Texas House of Representatives began, Rep. Sanford fulfilled his promise, and on January 26, 2017, introduced Texas HR-191, a resolution recognizing Armenian “genocide.”

     

    A one-page statement claimed that during World War I the Ottoman Empire had  began a “systematic campaign to eradicate its Armenian population,” that on April 24, 1915, the government had arrested several hundred Armenian intellectuals, who were later “executed,” that the Armenian population had been herded through the “Syrian desert to concentration camps,” that through 1923 as many as “1.5 million Armenians,” had perished, that the event is considered genocide by most historians, and that world must never forget the suffering of the Armenian people. Reference was made to then-American Ambassador Henry Morgenthau.

     

    It was the well-versed Armenian version of history.

     

    Lack of impartiality

     

    For processing, HR-191 was assigned to the Trade & Intergovernmental Affairs Committee (TIAC), which called for a public hearing at the State Capitol in Austin on April 24.

     

    The choice of April 24 for the public hearing, a date considered symbolic for the Armenian allegations, was the first sign that TIAC was pro-Armenian in its outlook.

     

    The hearing was closely coordinated with ANCA-WR and Rep. Sanford, and while the Armenian side had long known about the hearing, the Turkish side knew of the meeting less than a week in advance.

     

    With very short notice, only 6 persons from the Turkish side (5 from Houston and one from Dallas) could attend the hearing in Austin. In contrast, a large crowd from the Armenian side was present. Also present, as an “observor,” was Rep. Sanford.

     

    Four persons from the Turkish side (including this author) signed up to give testimony, two of the testimonies being very short. In contrast, 21 persons from the Armenian side signed up to give testimony. Before the hearing started, it was known exactly how many speakers there would be from each side. With the Committee Chairman allowing equal time to each speaker, the Armenian side ended up having 5 times more chance to present its case than the Turkish side.

     

    Thus the Armenian side dominated not only in terms of “presence” in the hearing room, but also in the testimonies given.

     

    During the testimonies the Turkish side objected that it was given a short notice for the hearing, to which the Committee Chairman responded the one-week notice was standard practice. The Turkish side wondered why Rep. Sanford, while not a member of the Committee, was invited to attend. The Committee Chairman responded that he invited Rep. Sanford because the latter was his friend, and he respected him.

     

    The Turkish side also noted that the scheduling of the public hearing on April 24 compromised the impartiality of the committee. There was no response to this comment.

     

    The questions asked by the Committee members during the testimonies left no doubt that they were sympathetic toward the Armenian allegations. When this author tried to show a panel showing the photographs of Turkish diplomats assasinated by Armenian terrorists, he was told his time is over.

     

    Evidentiary input

     

    It is not known what evidence the Armenian side provided to the Texas politicians to buttress their genocide allegations. During the April 24 hearing, however, the Armenian side had plenty of opportunity to give oral arguments to support its case. ANCA-WR had aggresively lobbied for the passage of HR-191, and hundreds of letters were e-mailed to state legislators. Many more phone calls were made by the Armenian community.

     

    The first speaker at the hearing, who identified himself as being affilated with ANCA-WR, began his testimony by citing the infamous – and fictitious – “Hitler quote.” Among those who testified for the Armenian side were representatives from the Texas Holocaust and Genocide Commission, and Houston’s Holocaust Museum.

     

    The Turkish side, including several grassroots organizations, rebutted the Armenian allegations through e-mails and orally during the testimonies. Evidence provided included, but not limited to, the Armenian uprising, collusion with the invading Russian army, the Muslim sufferings and casualties, the Kachaznuni manifesto, the Malta Tribunal, Ambassador Morgenthau’s extreme bias, the League of Nations report, General J.G. Harbord and Admiral Mark L. Bristol reports, the 1948 UN Convention, the rulings of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) and France’s Constitutional Council, impropriety of Texas legislators to intervene in matters affecting U.S. foreign policy, the damage the bill could do to trade relations between Texas and Turkey, the divisive aspect of the resolution, and not the least, the fact that the resolution is defamatory toward Texas residents of Turkish heritage.

     

    The aftermath

     

    After the public hearing, TIAC approved HR-191 unanimously and sent it to the House floor for voting. By this time there were 46 representatives who had already endorsed the motion. On May 19, the House, having 150 members, voted to adopt the motion, making the Lone Star State the 46th U.S. state to recognize Armenian “genocide.” Eight members were absent, and 5 including the Speaker abstained from voting. (ANCA website called it “unanimous” approval).

     

    It was a feat masterminded by ANCA-WR and endorsed by the Texas House of Representatives. While the resolution has no legal force, for all practical purposes, and for the public at large, it was a declaration finding Ottoman Turks guilty of a heinous crime.

     

    Conclusion

     

    It can safely be concluded that the Texas politicians that voted to adopt HR-191 were either astonishingly ignorant or didn’t care about the historical truth, while being in breach of a UN convention, mindless of European court rulings, and at the same time impinging on the right of the federal govenment on matters related to foreign policy.

     

    The highly detailed documentary evidence provided by the Turkish side, assuming it was read at all, didn’t make any difference for the politicians.

     

    That the party, declared “guilty” by fiat, was denied its due-process rights, did not matter.

     

    On display was an example of what this author has termed the “Armenian Settled History Syndrome”: The proclivity in the West, the media and politicians included, to accept Armenian allegations as facts without entertaining opposing or contervailing arguments. https://www.turkishnews.com/en/content/2015/02/10/armenian-settled-history-syndrome-an-affliction-that-runs-deep-in-the-media/

     

    Although an objective criterion is missing, there seems little doubt that the Turkish response, at least at the grassroots level, to HR-191 was feeble. It is not the numbers (populations of residents of Turkish and Armenian origin in Texas, roughly 15,000, are similar), but the level of interest. Turks are no match to Armenians on activism on the “genocide” issue – a situation that is deeply rooted in the Turkish educational system, reflecting the “peace at home, peace abroad” dictum of the republic founded by Kemal Atatürk.

     

    Given the unending offensive from the Armenian Diaspora, also supported by Yerevan, the dictum has outlived its usefulness in relation to the Turkish-Armenian relations, and the Turkish side has only itself to blame for its lethargy and passivity.

     

    In this context it is particularly telling that ATA-Houston, an association formed to represent the Turkish-American community in Houston – a city with a population of 2.3 million – didn’t bother to oppose HR-191. The happy-hour-conscious association, founded in 1979, was not interested in the Armenian issue – a posture that transpired within the past 2 years, it must be added.

     

    But the Turkish side also suffered a disadvantage which it could not help: the built-in prejudice, rooted in history and religion. In a sense, the cards were set against the Turkish side on HR-191. What made the Texas outcome particularly distateful for the Turkish side was the lack of impartiality on the part of the committee (TIAC) that handled the proposed bill before it went to the House floor for voting.

     

    On the subject of prejudice, Professor Justin McCarthy’s incisive work, “The Turk in America: The Creation of an Enduring Prejudice,” (2010), comes to mind. Thanks to Christian missionaries, the villification of Ottoman Turks in America in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries – and an anti-Muslim sentiment in general – still resonate in the minds of many in our time, amounting to a hidden form of discrimination.

     

    Paranthetically, it should also be added that the Texas voting roughly corresponded with negative media reports in the U.S. about the Turkish government in connection with President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s visit to Washington D.C. on May 16, 2017. Whether the negative publicity, related to Erdoğan’s security detail, affected the HR-191 voting, is unknown.

    In all, the Texas politicians should now ask: What did Texas gain from this resolution? Any claim that it was about valuing human life, is a farce. Separate from the claim of grotesquely exaggerated 1.5 million Armenian losses during the 1915 relocation, the souls of some 520,000 Muslim civilians that were brutally murdered by armed Armenian bands during those tumultuous times cry out for recognition as well. History cannot be reduced to campaign-driven declarations that cater to religious and ethnic prejudices.
