Preface
In 1776, Thomas Paine began writing a series of 13 articles, each of which he entitled The Crisis,
spurring on the American colonists in their bid to overthrow the British tyrants who had severely and
unjustly oppressed them. In The Crisis #13, dated April 19, 1783, Paine wished the country well, and
congratulated Americans on their valiant battle for independence that had secured their freedom.
But, world events being what they are, and vanquished foes being unable to rest, corruption of that
hardfought
liberty set in, in increments or in big chunks, sometimes through intrigues, and other
times through bloody confrontations. America lost its innocence, and its purpose – to be the
hallmark of liberty for all the world to see – and has fallen on very difficult times, emotionally,
financially, militarily, politically, socially, spiritually and in all other senses.
This book is entitled Crisis #14, because if Thomas Paine were alive today, he would not only lament
for the United States, but, would also use his pen to do all that he could to right the course from
which America has strayed – the course of liberty! That is, what if the treaty signed with the British
in 1783 was not an acknowledgement of defeat by George III at all, but only a temporary truce, and
the battle for American independence from Great Britain continues today, in the 21st century! If
Paine were alive today, he would be incensed that America has fallen for and succumbed to British
coercion, deception, abuse and manipulation to enter into alliances with them. Paine has warned
again and again that the British are as vile an enemy as ever recorded in history. He would scream,
“Come out of her!”
Throughout Crisis #14, Paine's words will be extensively quoted in italics to emphasize how strongly
he felt about freedom. When the reader encounters quotations in italics that are not cited, they will
be the words of Thomas Paine.
It should further be noted that the ongoing war for independence from Britain is not against the
British people, but, instead, with certain parties that have links to Britain, which is where their
headquarters are currently based. These parties have no national boundaries, and can be operating in
parliaments, royal families, governments, military institutions, spy networks, domestic and foreign
corporations, banks, churches, entertainment industries, the media – just about anywhere. They need
not be under British charters, nor be British citizens or subjects. These persons certainly do not
represent the best interests of Britain or the British people – they represent their own interests and
their own agenda. For purposes of this hypothesis, they will be referred to as the Qualas.
It is the acts of the Qualas that are stealing American liberty, unless Americans are voluntarily
relinquishing their liberty to any who will take it. That is, either there is a conspiracy of the Qualas
to rip freedom from Americans, or Americans are foolishly stripping themselves of their liberty.

One would ask, what could be the purpose of robbing liberty from America? It is because America
stands in the way of what President George Bush Sr. called the “New World Order,” which is really a
euphemism for world conquest. Although America has been corrupted over the centuries, and has
been dragged through the slime of the world, it still retains a spark of fight in it, a spark that cries out
against oppression and subjugation. It is this spark that the Qualas hope to extinguish forever, and,
then, the world will be theirs for the taking. Were they to succeed in America, the rest of the world
would soon be forced to kowtow
to the Qualas.
This theory will be supported by a wealth of evidence that indicts British monarchs, especially
George III and his ministers. But, as shall be seen, the web of deceit that has been entwined within
and around the effort to adulterate and retake America sometimes appears to stem from Britain or
other nations, and other times from within America. It is a diabolical plot to overthrow liberty that
has been played out over the centuries.

Introduction
Liberty is an endangered species. Freedom hath been hunted round the globe. Asia, and Africa,
have long expelled her – Europe regards her as a stranger, and England hath given her warning to
depart.1 It makes one wonder why freedom is so despised by leaders and rulers. In the 21st century,
liberty is losing its battle against its oppressors. America, too, is losing her freedom. She must fight
for her liberty now. America is the world's last chance. She is the last hope for the rest of the world.
The cause of America is in a great measure the cause of all mankind.2
If we take a good look at the world around us now, we can see how things have changed ever so
subtly, or ever so obviously, in various parts of the world over the centuries, and particularly in recent
years. If the present trend is unchecked, it will develop into a massive net that will snare and engulf
all the citizens of the world. They will be caught and lose their individual identities along with their
liberty after conquest of the world.
Each of us should take our liberty very seriously. Americans are in a unique position – they can take
back their eroded liberty for themselves and their country. They can show the rest of the world that it
can be done. It will be done. Liberty is at hand for those who dare claim it.
In the 18th century, Benjamin Franklin laid foundations for people to claim liberty in both America
and France. He was followed by Thomas Paine who breathed life into the abstract call for freedom
and instilled the love of liberty into the hearts and minds of people, and ignited their fighting spirit in
America, then later in France. Thomas Jefferson offered his legal and political expertise to help free
people from tyranny in both the American and the French Revolutions. Military prowess and
political influence were provided by the Marquis de Lafayette in both revolutions. And, liberty
nearly prevailed, but the world's weight was on the side of the slave masters and tyrants. A glimmer
of hope survives, and the possibility of liberty remains, but only barely.
Crisis #14 will trace some of the events in the world that have led to the present predicament. It will
be shown how the world has gradually been led to this critical stage in the history of humankind.
Liberty is in crisis!
This is not to say that President Obama is a threat to American liberty, or that John McCain or the
Congress is either. They are just participants in an experiment in self government that commenced in
the 18th century and continues today. Just as there were many powerful people who sought to crush
American liberties in 1776, so are there many today. This is not about conspiracy theory. Surely
President Obama and Senator McCain are not actively conspiring against American liberties.
Unfortunately, however, in ignorance or naiveté, like many of their predecessors, they are guilty of
neglecting and even abusing liberty.

Chapter 1
Philosophers have tried to comprehend how some people became enslaved by others. It is reasonable
to assume that, originally, people were not born into slavery any more than they were born into
nobility. Rather, infants were born into families. Basically, they were born with individual liberties,
and with the same potential as all their family members. None in the family was presumed to be any
better or worse than any family member or person outside that family unit. It was only due to age
and necessity that the older ones would possess more responsibility and decisionmaking
authority,
but, with maturity, everyone would grow to have the same status as adults.
As time went on, the families grew into extended families, and labor was divided amongst the family
members. At some point, it was tacitly agreed that certain labor was more important for the good of
the extended families. As a result, it could have been the best hunters or gatherers who were
implicitly elevated in status. Nonetheless, this would not necessarily have dictated who was most
respected amongst the family. The head of the extended family would perhaps be the one most
listened to and respected for advice.
When critical issues developed, certain family members needed to step in and take charge. A crisis
could stem from a natural event, such as a storm or an earthquake, or it could arise from an invasion,
either by animals or other humans who intended to prey on the family. Under the circumstances, the
main concerns for each family were survival and security.
Consequently, the extended families attempted to safeguard themselves against possible future events.
Shelters were prepared to protect against the weather, food was stored to ward off hunger during
times of famine or scarcity, and defenses were developed to keep predators at bay.
Eventually, stronger families began to plunder the weaker ones, and alliances were formed with
neighboring families for selfprotection.
Sometimes, brute force would be used to repel the invaders,
whilst other times the stronger ones would be appeased by some form of tribute paid to them.
It is rational to assume that the survival instinct, in its most primal form, eventually developed into a
more sophisticated and complex means of selfdefense.
In the most simple terms, it is the survival
instinct that drives people, either singularly or collectively, to enter into alliances with others.
Thus, it has always been part of the human condition for people to try to ward off all that nature and
circumstances could throw at them. Some of the family groups were more effective at feeding and
sheltering themselves, and became the envy of more distant groups. As the envy grew, so grew the
desire to plunder, and bands of roving thieves harassed and threatened the security of the peaceable
people.

Therefore, the battles for survival became complicated. It was not only communities against nature,
but also communities against one another. This was the dawn of wars, and the beginning of the
demise of liberty, as the victors took the conquered as slaves and everything they possessed.
Such external threats led to the formation of primitive armies, with certain ones taking over
leadership positions. The rule of might began to replace individual liberties. People started
transferring their inherent and inalienable rights to their perceived rulers, who would initially have
been clan or tribal leaders, and later, religious figures, such as popes, and secular figures such as
kings or emperors. The strongest outside forces had to be dealt with or defeated, and the strongest in
the clans were respected as long as they could protect their communities.
In order to protect the communities, certain tasks were delegated. This would have been the earliest
stages of a government, which even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an
intolerable one.3 Each delegation of authority, strictly speaking, amounted to a surrender of some
liberty. As governments grew, the people were forced to give up more and more of their freedoms to
those who took on the role of protecting them. The more liberty the people transferred to their
rulers, the more the rulers demanded. That is, there was then, as there is now, a direct relationship
between security and liberty interests. As security interests rise, freedom is devoured.
It is understandable that given the population of the planet, total freedom is unobtainable. If people
were fair to one another it would totally render the obligations of law and government unnecessary
while they remained perfectly just to each other.4 The question is, how much liberty will be
sacrificed for a sense of security?
People deserve freedom; they were born into it. It is only through ages of struggle that leaders and
rulers have usurped liberty from the people in the name of security. People need to reclaim as much
of their rightful liberty as is practicable. If ever they are asked to surrender some of it, they should
never agree unless they are thoroughly convinced that there is no reasonable alternative to the
proposal, for liberty is the most sacred possession on Earth, and should be protected as such. No
human being should think it is their right to enslave or control another for their personal gain!
In addition to the loss of freedom arising from external factors, it eventually became apparent to the
clan members that they could prey on their own people to gain respect, privileges and power. Thus,
early people gave up certain of their liberties because of outside invaders, and other liberties to
insiders who cunningly manipulated situations to elevate their own positions. This was the beginning
of corruption in government as people became more sophisticated and selfserving,
and so it is that
we are now burdened with some form of government, for were the impulses of conscience clear,
uniform and irresistibly obeyed, man would need no other lawgiver.5
As governments grew in size and importance, they began to become selfperpetuating.
Somewhere
along the line, rulers demanded that their positions be handed down, and the ruling positions became

inherited, thus forming the noble classes with their own, selfcontained
idiosyncratic distinctions.
Just as it is wrong for a person to be born into servitude or slavery, it is equally wrong for a person to
be born into nobility. Everyone of decent moral fiber knows this to be true.
Under the above system, those born into nobility were forever elevated above all others, and those
born outside the noble class were deemed to be inferior. At some stage in the historical time line, the
class system became a distinct and recognizable construct of communal living in various parts of the
world, including Asia, Africa and Europe. Something was driving the ruling classes to snub the
working classes, and likewise impressed the peasants to submit to the upper classes, who were
regarded as masters. The class system is universal, and there are subdivisions within the noble and
the working classes. Thus, the hierarchy of the world consists of classes within classes within
classes, all to the benefit of those at the top of the hierarchy.
It did not take long before some peasants were bought and sold as slaves and servants, and for their
offspring to be burdened with the very same status and bondage. That is, the nobles perpetuated
their artificially elevated rank and family status via inheritance. In turn, the nobles demanded that
the lowly status for those branded as slaves be inherited also, thereby ensuring the latter could never
rise above their appointed station.
As perception of the class distinction became stronger, the rulers began demanding obedience from
the lower classes, and even the adulation and worship of their subjects. Some emperors or kings
came to be regarded as mediators for divine authorities, and, in extreme cases, were deemed to be
“gods.” This happened in the Eastern world, most notably in China, Japan and Korea. It also
occurred in Egypt and Rome.
This doctrine of the divine right of kings was thoroughly denounced by Thomas Paine, among others.
It was the resistance to the divinity of inherited positions of power that drove the American colonists
to rebel and form republican governments that were never to honor kings or other inherited positions
of nobility. In the 17th century, Charles I of England so vehemently demanded the acknowledgement
of the divine rights of kings that it eventually led to his beheading. As recently as the mid20th
century, Emperor Hirohito of Japan reluctantly renounced his claims to divinity and became a
powerless, figurehead ruler. The wars of these socalled
divine princes or kings inevitably affected
the lives of their people. Many free people were captured in the wars and used or sold as slaves by
their captors, forming an even larger caste of permanently enslaved people.
Slaves were kept in ancient Egypt, Rome, Greece, China and many other places around the world.
These slaves were forced to perform whatever their masters demanded of them. For all intents and
purposes, the class system thoroughly extinguished liberty in the lower classes, with the nobles
allowed to enjoy some freedom at the expense of those subservient to them.
Individual liberties have been crushed by all manner of rulers and ruling classes on Earth. History
proves that rulers are opposed to freedom. Almost all cultures are delineated by a distinct division

into upper and lower classes, nobility and peasantry, rich and poor, white collar and blue collar,
educated and uneducated, “haves” and “havenots.”
The ancient cultures of China, Japan and Korea, for example, are full of accounts of unjust treatment,
exploitation, torture, misery, humiliation and enslavement of the lower classes under the control and
subjugation of the noble classes. Peasants were taken from their families to work as servants, slaves
or for various purposes at the convenience and pleasure of the aristocratic elite. Most of the nobles
scorned the lower classes as useless, unworthy human beings.
Children born of slave women would be deemed slaves, even if they were fathered by nobles. When
those amongst the aristocracy became outspoken about the way the lower classes were mistreated,
they were quickly silenced one way or another. It was nearly impossible to change the unjust system
of the division of people in this respect, a system which ensured the suffering of the disadvantaged
lower classes. Yet, both classes used the same bromide to validate the class distinction, “It is the way
it is and cannot be changed.” Indeed, the perception of class distinction became so real that every
inhabitant on the Earth became caught up in this illusion – the illusion that people are not equal.
This falsehood that commoners, servants and slaves are destined to toil forever in servitude to the rich
and powerful has been ingrained into the human psyche. Just as kings were perceived as divinely
chosen, so did commoners accept their lot to be fatefully destined, not only for them, but for their
descendants as well. That is, people believed they were born into their respective classes and that
nothing could change these circumstances! Sadly, the commoners transferred so many rights to the
rulers, that, in effect, they gave over their will to the ruling class.
Western historical accounts mention such figures as Spartacus and Robin Hood, “outlaws” who
fought the tyranny of the class caste. Easterners have legends such as Iljimae, who was very much
like a combination of Spartacus and Robin Hood rolled into one. These stories, be they real or
fiction, offer inspiration to oppressed people and give them hope. But, the stories do not change the
reality of class discrimination.
In modern times, the unwritten class distinctions are subtly, and sometimes not so subtly, disguised
under the banner of the rich and the poor. The ones in between can only aspire to rub shoulders with
the upper classes. The rich are divided into the new rich and the old rich, with decidedly arrogant
barriers blocking the advancement of the new rich into the old established families. Even
governments are threatened by the very rich and powerful. Presently, with the global economic
crisis, the gap between the rich and the poor is growing wider . . .
Today, the words “liberty” and “freedom” are often tossed about and spoken with ease by people and
by leaders. Constitutions, legislative acts, protocols, procedures, television shows, media reports and
vernacular speech abound with these terms. A sample taken just about any time from any of the
above categories could find a lode of discussion touting freedom and despising tyranny. One who

reviewed such a sample might conclude that freedom abounds, but would that be a correct
assessment?
It is said that “talk is cheap,” and nowhere is this more true than in regard to liberty. Nearly everyone
espouses it for themselves and others. Many wars have been fought in the name of liberty, whether
by the occupants of a country wanting a new and freer government, or by others who claim it is their
wish to bring liberty to a country other than their own. When a war is fought for liberty, it suddenly
sounds patriotic, just and palatable. But, how many wars have truly been fought for liberty?
Eventually, whenever a war ceases to persist, when the spirit that drove the war either quits or is
partially vanquished, peace is temporarily experienced. However, war is never fully defeated in the
world. It is ever present, whether in the planning, formative stages, execution or recovery. It is said
that the only certainties in the world are death and taxes, but, there is another certainty – if there are
people, there will be conflicts. These conflicts are sometimes settled or tolerated, but they are ever
present, lurking and waiting to develop into confrontations, and sometimes into fullblown
wars.
The question should be whether there can be peace in this world, and, if so, how can this be
accomplished? It is said that wars are good for the economy. An unbiased look at history shows that
the world has been kept in various stages of war to benefit the warmongers and appeal to patriotic
sensibilities, thereby allowing those in power to exert more control over their citizens.
However, imagine a world without war. There would be no more conflict in Gaza, no more suffering
of Palestinians, no more chasing Osama bin Laden, no more stampeding into the Middle East, no
more posturing on the Korean Peninsula, no more standoffs
in Georgia, no more emergency
appropriations for military purposes in Congress, no more clashes in Tibet, no more upheavals in
Zimbabwe, no more Sri Lanken refugees, in fact, no refugees at all! Would the world leaders allow
such a thing? Decidedly not! Their egos, arrogance, and needtolead
instincts will not allow peace,
no matter how strong the force is trying to bring it about. Peace requires cooperation,
and war only
needs a single misfit to bring it about.
It is an absurdity that peace can conquer war, because peace would have to make war to conquer it,
and thus be engulfed in the very thing it is trying to eliminate. World peace is possible; it is not a
utopian dream, but it would require ongoing dedication to true liberty for everyone.
When speaking of liberty, it is understood that liberty in this imperfect world is qualified and limited.
There cannot be absolute liberty to do absolutely anything, because many of the things done would
infringe on other people's liberty. This would be anarchy. Given that liberty must be imperfect, it
should be the goal of libertyseeking
people to be as free as is practicable.
It was this type of freedom that was in the minds of the founders of the United States of America.
The colonists had had enough taxation without representation, oppression under a distant legislature,
and insults from a distant tyrant. They had no official voice in their destiny or daytoday
affairs.

They were forced into absolute subjugation to the Crown that cared so little for them that it ordered
its armies and navies to starve and murder the upstart rebels in America. Britain finally employed
foreign mercenaries to plunder, rape, burn and murder their way across the American continent with
royal impunity. The American founders fought horrible tyrants in the form of the British King
George III, his ministers, and the British Parliament.
The battle was won in the 18th century, but, as the founders often repeated, liberty is something that
must be cherished, understood, and continually fought for to preserve. Tyranny is the nature of
human society, and rulers, if left unchecked, will ever steer toward the appropriation of power and
control over the people. In some circumstances the people voluntarily relinquish their rights to the
rulers, in other situations, the people are stripped of their rights by the ruling classes.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither
liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin, 1775.
We need neither kings nor popes. What we need is to reclaim our “inherent and inalienable rights.”
Inalienable rights cannot be transferred to another; they remain our fundamental rights, regardless of
what rules or laws have been enacted. Among these fundamental rights are the rights to “life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness.”
What occurred in America in the 18th century should serve as a lesson for all the world to see how
persistent a domestic and international freedom robber Britain is. Today, American liberty has been
decimated to its currently precarious state. It is precariously dangerous because most American
citizens believe they are free, yet they are oblivious and unaware that they are treading the path to
subjugation.
The founders of America have already fought the war to break away from the British monarchy.
Whilst naiveté may have brought Americans closer and closer to the apron of that monarchy, the
political bonds from the tyranny of George III and the British Parliament have been forever broken by
the early patriots' blood and perseverance. There is no need to inch any closer to the British
monarchy, and there are manifold reasons to resist further ties to it.

Chapter 2
American liberty is in crisis! Most Americans would say, “That is ridiculous!” Most Americans
have been lulled to sleep by the media. They are far too complacent – especially about their freedom.
As horrible as the bombing of the twin towers in New York was, the aftermath is even worse. The
hunt for the responsible terrorists has sent the entire Western World out on a goose chase for Osama
bin Laden and others. Whilst the chase is on, American liberties are being compromised at every
turn. Invasive scanning at government buildings, post offices, courthouses and particularly at
airports is so common that people forget that they could protest against these searches as being
unreasonable. They have forgotten that there is a Fourth Amendment to the Constitution:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against
unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but
upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place
to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Electronic body, finger and eye scanning at airports is so intrusive, intimidating and humiliating that
many Australians are complaining about the tight security measures at the Los Angeles International
Airport and wondering whether it is worth going on holidays to the United States. Moreover, the
enforced exposure to radiation and magnetism issuing from such scans must necessarily have adverse
effects for passengers. People are warned to avoid unnecessary xrays,
yet they are coerced into
repeated scanning bombardments if they wish to fly.
How has it come to pass that people have totally abandoned their right to travel without being
harassed and accosted? In the name of fighting terrorism, liberties are being stolen, sometimes
without even a word of complaint from those from whom they have been taken. People are
frightened into relinquishing their rights and freedoms because they believe it necessary for their
secure passage on a flight. Additionally, they have been conditioned into thinking it is patriotic duty
to keep all the potential terrorists out of the country. In other words, they have sacrificed their
freedom for security. Notably, all the intrusions at airports did not begin on September 11, 2001 –
this is just a prominent date in the progressive and extensive repression of rights.
Remember what Benjamin Franklin said about people who will sacrifice freedom for temporary
safety – they deserve neither security nor liberty.
It is assumed that the United States Supreme Court allows airports to search everyone on a
commercial airplane, otherwise, the airports would not dare do it. That is a reasonable assumption

because if the Fourth Amendment were violated repeatedly at every airport in America, it would have
to be constitutional.
The Supreme Court has asserted itself to be the guardian of the Constitution and to have the final say
about whether laws and activities are constitutional. This would be well and good if the Court were
protecting everyone's constitutional rights. But, if the Court has totally succumbed to the argument
that necessity overrides the Fourth Amendment protections for all travelers, one has to wonder
whether the Court has effectively abdicated its selfdeclared
position as guardian of the Constitution.
As a matter of fact, nowhere in the Constitution does it give the Court the power to have the final say
on constitutional matters – the Supreme Court plucked this power out of thin air, pulled itself up with
its own bootstraps, and massively changed the checks and balances that were built into the
Constitution.
If people want freedom, they have to take risks. Otherwise, they will forever be capitulating. There
will be no end to the invasions, for governments can concoct many reasons to justify their actions
under the guise of protecting their citizens. As long as governments go unchallenged with their
regulations, rules, proclamations and laws, the people will be forever asked to sacrifice more and
more of their freedoms. It is not hyperbole to state that if the governments go unchecked in their
pursuit of Osama bin Laden and others, the people will soon be in chains.
The erosion of rights is not only happening in America. Authorities at Heathrow Airport in London
are at least as invasive in searching nearly every passenger as they are at Los Angeles. We are told
that everyone traveling must go through the process. Do the authorities insult the Pope with such
treatment when he visits other countries? Do all the heads of state go through the same scanning as
the common people? We are told that there is a “rule of law” which must be adhered to, and that
nobody is above the law. If this is so, then the airports should scan and search all foreign and
domestic dignitaries, including Queen Elizabeth II of England, President Barack Obama, and the
Prime Ministers Stephen Harper of Canada and David Cameron of Great Britain. Do the airports
scan and insult these people, force them to remove their shoes, and sometimes strip search them? If
any of these people are exempted from the searches, then, under the concept of equal protection
under the “rule of law,” everyone else should be exempt from the warrantless searches.
On New Years Day, 2009, we were in Copenhagen, and spoke with some Iranians who had recently
immigrated to Denmark. In answer to our inquiries, they candidly confessed that there was not much
political freedom in Denmark. They said the government does not listen to the people, but does as it
wants. Elections, they said, were sometimes held without proper notice being given to all the voters.
These people seemed genuinely concerned and frightened for their human rights. And, remember,
these people were from Iran!
Human rights are notoriously violated by many countries. China and Israel are big offenders in this
regard. South Africa's apartheid is legendary, as is India's caste system. Some past wrongs are being
acknowledged, which is a start. For instance, in 2008, the Australian Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd,

apologized on behalf of the Australian people for the stolen generation, and the longstanding,
horrible, and continuing abuses of Aboriginal people. Likewise, in 2010, British Prime Minister,
David Cameron, said that Bloody Sunday was unjustified and unjustifiable. Cameron apologized to
the people of Northern Ireland for the unprovoked massacre of 14 unarmed, civilian protesters by
British soldiers.6
With regard to Australia, which will be examined more thoroughly than some of the aforementioned
nations, the police are using electronic cameras to photograph vehicles as they travel on the roads. If
the cars are going in excess of the speed limit, run through red lights, or travel in restricted lanes,
citations are mailed to the registered owners of the offending vehicles. The owners are forced to pay
hefty fines for the offenses. There is, in effect, virtually no right to confrontation of the electronic
devices regarding these traffic fines. People have spent thousands of dollars trying to fight the radar
tickets, almost always to no avail.
The government of the State of Queensland, Australia, has forceimplemented
fluoridation of
drinking water despite 80 percent objection by the citizens. Queensland has also forced various
shires to amalgamate with surrounding shires against the wishes of 87 percent of the affected
population.7 The Premier of the State just ignores the wishes of the majority and imposes the will of
the governing party. When Queensland was in drought, severe water restrictions were imposed.
Even when the rains came, the dams overflowed, and much of the state was flooded, the restrictions
remained in force. This just shows the tendency that once government takes control of an issue, they
think it is their right to hold it ever after.
In 1996, a man with an IQ of 66 was supposed to have singlehandedly
massacred 19 people with
precision shots to the heads using a Colt AR 15 rifle and a Belgian weapon. He is alleged to have
done this to families who were touring and holidaying in a former British penal colony at Port
Arthur, Tasmania, Australia. Almost nobody who has independently investigated the incident
believes the mentally deficient defendant was capable of committing it. The media drove the
massacre into a frenzy for the government. Soon after this “lone gunman” incident, Australians were
forced to relinquish their guns. It only took one very questionable “lone gunman” event for the
Australian government to take away the firearms from the people. The Australian people are far too
trusting of their government. They have no express bill of rights, and now they have no guns to
protect their rights.
When Pope Benedict XVI visited Sydney, Australia, the government issued special orders that
severely restricted free speech, parades and protests regarding the Pope. Not surprisingly, the media
cooperated
with the government's censorship of the protesters – they did not report negatively on the
government's highhanded
and heavy infringement of free speech.
Visitors to Australia can have their laptop computers and mobile phones searched by customs

of protecting children from pedophiles. In addition, Australia is imposing the strictest internet filter

system in the Western World. The Australian Communications Minister has defended the filter by
saying that the process is “not considered to be censorship of free speech.”8
The Australian Building and Construction Commission has the power to summon workers to secret
interrogation sessions to investigate other worker's activities. There is no right to silence –
remember, Australia has no express bill of rights – and a worker who remains silent when summoned
can be subjected to criminal prosecution for remaining so – it's the law!9
Many Australians are now complaining that the country has become undemocratic, even though it
asserts itself to be a free and democratic country. Voting is mandatory in Australia; its citizens do
not have the right to abstain or refuse to vote. Despite all of these abuses of individual rights, most
Australians still naively believe that they do not need an express bill of rights – they believe the
government knows what is best for them! They are asleep!
It is thus easy to understand why Australia is able to restrict rights so quickly and easily – rights that
Americans take for granted because they do have an enforceable and express Bill of Rights, rights
which the Australian government can easily take from the people – because the country has virtually
no constitutionally guaranteed rights. Americans have to diligently protect their individual rights for
themselves, and for the rest of the world, before it is too late. The cause of America is in a great
measure the cause of all mankind.10

Chapter 3
We live in a world of upheaval. Terrifying natural disasters are becoming commonplace.
Earthquakes are occurring around the globe in unprecedented frequency and intensity. A few
decades ago, a 7.0 magnitude quake would make big headlines. These days, a series of sevenpoint
tremors can go virtually unreported. Only when there is a humanitarian crisis, such as that caused by
the huge devastation of the 2010 Haitian quake, which tore the country apart, does the event receive
coverage from the media, who are then ever present, as are the aid organizations and a host of
celebrities. Shortly after the Haitian quake, Chile suffered a series of large earthquakes too. In
2008, China was struck by massive earthquakes and endured huge losses, whilst in 2004, a ninepoint
earthquake off Indonesian coast caused the Boxing Day tsunami that killed hundreds of thousands of
people.
Violent, unprecedented storms have been bursting our waterways. Floods have deluged the world.
Every continent has been inundated with broken levees and overflowing river banks. Towns that
have never known floods and water damage before have been destroyed by raging, rising waters.
Volcanoes are erupting everywhere; even the dormant ones are awakening. More recently, Iceland's
most active volcano halted air traffic between the Americas and Europe for weeks at a time. The
economies of many nations were severely affected by this series of eruptions from a single volcano
on an isolated island far in the North Atlantic Ocean.
Whilst most of the world is dealing with drainage issues from storms and floods, Africa has the
opposite problem, with much of the continent suffering from devastating drought. People there are
starving because crops can barely grow.
Wildfires have taken on different characteristics and are at times very ferocious. Firefighters have
commented that fires are behaving differently than they did in the past and are harder to control.
In dealing with these terrible disasters, many governments have created emergency management
agencies. In some cases, these agencies have the authority to force people off their land in
anticipation of fires, storms or volcanic eruptions that could ravage the area. If people do not leave
when ordered to, they can be arrested and transported away from the area against their will. Many of
the emergency controls may be sincerely imposed to protect people, but certain other controls are
opportunistically instigated to further control citizens.
Further, to whatever nature is throwing at the world, technology has allowed humankind to assault the
land, air and water in ways unimagined a few centuries ago. So little is known about our planet that

we are akin to infants, playing with an assortment of matches, bombs, rockets and drills, some of the
dangers of which we are completely unaware. We build roads everywhere, drill tunnels for
convenience, bomb entire nations for political and economic gain, and have become very effective
killers thanks to recent technological improvements. People have ever been in conflict, but, with the
new technologies, wars can now engulf the entire world. There has been a lot of attention paid to
learning how to assault and exploit the environment in which we live, but, relatively speaking, very
little done to protect it.
In the spring of 2010, the Gulf of Mexico was struck by a catastrophic event caused by a British
Petroleum (BP) deepwater
drilling rig. An explosion killed 11 workers, whilst a mile beneath the
surface, on the sea floor, pipes burst that gushed out millions of gallons of petroleum and gases that
fouled the Gulf. Whilst corporations and nations have learned much about how to drill for deep
water oil, they seem to have learned little about stopping disasters caused by their tinkering.
Human greed has outstripped conscience. Gulf sea life may or may not recover, depending upon
which expert opinion is being considered. Industries, tourism and lives have been thrown into chaos
in the affected regions, which includes all of the southern states bordering the Gulf, and the
surrounding nations; sludge and toxins are choking everything in the Gulf, besides suffocating sea
birds.
It is obvious that scientists have not developed effective means for mitigating catastrophic disasters
from deepwater
drilling events like the one in the Gulf of Mexico. Scientists are big on notions and
theories about the environment, but, slow in producing effective, viable solutions when they are
needed. Whilst they verbalized and hypothesized, the Gulf was dying from toxins. When urgent
action was required, they had no answers.
The Gulf spill turned the tide on the United States' reluctance to subscribe to the Emissions Trading
Scheme (ETS). As a consequence of the resultant devastation, the Senate was finally convinced to
keep carbon counting measures with the Environmental Protection Agency, which many view as a
big step toward joining the ETS.
The carbon emission notion that is driving the current thrust for worldwide acceptance of carbontrading
schemes is now at a critical stage. The stakes are not so much about protection of the Earth,
but, rather, political influence and power.
The importance of the ETS cannot be overstated. It is not just a conflict between supporters and
opponents of the carbontrading
notion. It is in fact so critical to global political maneuvering that
some of the highest echelon Qualas are being forced to show their hands in support of, or opposition
to, the scheme.
The urgent push for a global treaty to counteract greenhouse gases and global climate change is
politically important to certain ones, even though it has been disguised as a natural science issue.

One justification cited for the 2009 Copenhagen summit is that the world is getting hotter, despite
refutations of this by some climatologists whose voices have been suppressed. Those assuming that
the Earth is heating up often cite the increased incidence of disastrous weather anomalies, such as the
unprecedented rainfall and flooding that Great Britain experienced in 2009.
There is no denying that other disasters, including fires, heat waves, floods, droughts, storms,
cyclonic winds, rain, hail and other events have had catastrophic effects on certain regions, and
dramatically affected ecosystems, flora, fauna and human societies. But, is the increase in weather
abnormalities due to global warming, or the effect of other causes? Even if global warming were
reversed, there are still the massive problems of the increasing incidence of earthquakes and the
phenomenon of the hotter sun with which to contend.
The pressure on carbon trading is based upon the notion that humankind is primarily responsible for
global warming. Relying on this notion, the scientific community appears to be speaking as one
voice, spreading the warning that carbon emissions are the main culprit for global warming. Many
people have been convinced by the scientific community because they have been “educated” to
accept everything that has a scientific basis or endorsement behind it.
Al Gore’s campaign sends the green message that the Earth’s survival hangs in the balance and is at
risk. If this be true, then open and public debate on the issue should be welcomed by the proponents
of the carbontrading
schemes. Instead, many opposing voices have been silenced, mocked, targeted
or totally ignored. The carbontrading
scheme proponents do not want to have the facts heard; they
want their position accepted and adopted.
It is not that the green voice on climate change is entirely emotion based, with science only being
used to fill in gaps when it is expedient. It is undeniable that human acts such as massive
deforestation or largescale
irrigation, damming and other huge hydro projects can dramatically and
negatively affect regional ecosystems. But, is there a significant and undeniable correlation between
these types of activities and global warming? To put it another way, if humans ceased to reside on
the Earth tomorrow, would the problem of global warming be resolved?
If the carbontrading
advocates are truly concerned that global warming is a seriously urgent issue,
they could perhaps justify following their untested carbontrading
notion. But if it is an urgent
situation, why are they suggesting a solution that will take decades to take effect? If they have
decades to work on the solution, by definition, it cannot be that urgent. Moreover, if they have
decades to implement their plan, could they not spend at least a few years or even a few months
openly and transparently debating which course of action will save the planet?
To demonstrate the absurdity of the current green position, consider that they are proposing massive
increases in nuclear power because it is supposed to be carbon friendly. The nuclear proponents do
not seem to care about the disposal of nuclear waste from sites. This means that they are presenting
an extremely shortsighted
solution, which is not really a solution at all. Further, the proponents for

expanding nuclear power want to tremendously restrict who can and cannot use nuclear power. For
instance, Iran and North Korea are presently being ostracized for, among other things, having
nuclearpower
programs. It seems that the proponents of nuclear energy are not as concerned about
global warming as they are with political dominance.
Are not scientists responsible for developing biological, chemical, nuclear and other weapons of mass
destruction that have been used to control, bully, harm or destroy certain groups and places? It is not
inaccurate to say that many scientific developments are amoral. So, should world leaders turn over
their moral conscience to scientists who are knowingly or unwittingly working for the Qualas, whose
agenda is definitely not in the best interests of the people?
Presently, the notion that carbon emissions are causing global warming is backed by scientific
dogma. There is supposedly sufficient scientific basis behind the notion of the correlation between
carbon emissions and global warming that is so overwhelming that to question or debate the notion is
deemed irresponsible and ignorant.
In the recent past, environmentalists were very concerned with pollution issues, particularly those
surrounding the dangers of nuclear reactors. They openly cringed, violently protested, and even
stopped trains whenever nuclear power was advocated, citing the disasters at Three Mile Island and
Chernobyl to justify their concerns. Many of these same environmentalists have now been
“educated” to believe that nuclear power is carbon friendly. These environmentalists have shifted 180
degrees in their positions regarding nuclear energy. They now openly accept that nuclear power will
combat global warming because they believe so strongly in the notion that carbon emissions are
directly responsible for global warming.
The environmentalists who now propose nuclear energy to reduce carbon emissions have been
indoctrinated to forget that many nuclear reactors use water to cool them. The heated water is then
discharged into the streams. This may be defined as carbon friendly, but it is detrimental to the
environment. These new greens were once the “savetheplanet”
environmentalists, but they have
been convinced to now actively lobby for more nuclear reactors to be constructed! So thorough has
been their indoctrination that they seem to have forgotten Three Mile Island and Chernobyl, and the
fact that nuclear reactors heat up the rivers and kill the fish. They have forgotten that nuclear waste is
not really biodegradable. In short, they have forgotten their selfproclaimed
mission to protect the
planet.
According to the current scientific notion, carbon emissions in the atmosphere are the main culprits
for global warming, and all other factors are disregarded in the ETS equation. Most scientists are
supporting the carbon dogma, claiming that increases in glacial melting, rising sea levels, and
warmer air and water temperatures around the world indicate that the truth behind the carbon dogma
is irrefutable. However, the mere existence of these symptoms does not necessarily make them
correlative, and as such they cannot conclusively support, let alone verify, the carbon dogma. This

begs the question, “Does the concept necessarily explain the environmental symptoms, and do the
symptoms preclude the validity of any other concept?”
It is a known fact that many springs, creeks, streams and rivers are warmer than they were in past
decades. Is it not much more reasonable to assume that the temperature increases in springs, creeks,
streams and rivers are directly caused by geothermal conditions rather than indirectly caused by a
warmer atmosphere? Water is more resistant to temperature change than is air. It is quicker and
easier to heat a pot of water on a stove than it is to heat the air around the pot of water and wait for it
to increase the temperature of the water in the pot.
The ability to think and reason intelligently and logically of one's own accord seems to have
abandoned most scientists. Their faith in fellow scientists is so strong that they firmly believe that
global warming can be abated by substantially reducing carbon emissions into the atmosphere.
Whilst a reduction in carbon emissions will benefit the planet by assisting in cleaning up the air, it
will not solve the problem of global warming. Scientists should have enough understanding to
realize that there is very little that can be done about geothermal activities that are heating up the
ground and the streams. Rather than alert people to the impending catastrophes from volcanoes and
earthquakes, the people are being led to believe that if they reduce carbon emissions, then the Earth
will cool and become safe again.
It is time that scientists face the facts rather than contrive ineffective solutions for global warming.
Whilst the ETS could dramatically improve the quality of air surrounding the Earth, which would be
a good thing, it is deceptively misleading and irresponsible to claim that the ETS will abate global
warming. In fact, there is no solution to the hotter Earth and hotter sun within the reach of
21stcentury
technology.
When the ETS could not be forced upon the nations in Copenhagen in 2009, its proponents began
working in other directions. The United States has not been receptive to the ETS, until now. The
proponents of the ETS are very opportunistic, and they will utilize the Gulf of Mexico oil spill to
exert pressure on America to reconsider
its position regarding the scheme.
It is a certainty that President Obama will be heavily regulating the oil industry after the spill. In the
President's speech of June 15, 2010, he accused BP of being reckless, and placed a sixmonth
moratorium on deepwater
drilling. Obama made a scathing attack on the Minerals Management
Service, the agency responsible for regulating drilling, stating:
Over the last decade, this agency has become emblematic of a failed philosophy that views all
regulation with hostility – a philosophy that says corporations should be allowed to play by
their own rules and police themselves. At this agency, industry insiders were put in charge of
industry oversight. Oil companies showered regulators with gifts and favors, and were
essentially allowed to conduct their own safety inspections and write their own regulations.

Obama added that the Secretary of the Interior was working to, “clean up the worst of the corruption
at this agency.” The President pronounced that the agency's new leader would, “build an
organization that acts as the oil industry's watchdog – not its partner.”
It is important for the oil companies to be monitored so that a reoccurrence
of the Gulf spill can
hopefully be prevented. However, there is really no rational reason to link the oil spill and the ETS
together. The oil spill was obviously caused by human actions. It must be cleaned up, and work
should be done on preventing similar events from happening in the future.
On the other hand, the ETS is based on an unproven theory that human activities are substantially
responsible for global warming. We have been bombarded with scientific theory that humankind has
so fouled the atmosphere with carbonrelated
pollution that the Earth is suffering from a greenhouse
effect, hence we have global warming. Whether this theory is correct or not is being debated.
Unfortunately, the proponents of the ETS are secretly hoarding the data on which they are basing
their theory.
The scientists responsible for collecting and evaluating the data regarding global warming, and
ascertaining the potential of human contribution to it, have proven themselves untrustworthy. If all
the data were released in an uncorrupted form, then the scientific community would be able to arrive
at a reasoned consensus as to whether humankind is substantially contributing to global warming,
and, if so, whether the proposed ETS would be effective in curbing this contribution. At the end of
the day, the ETS is a very speculative remedy regarding global warming. By contrast, the Gulf of
Mexico has been tragically polluted and poisoned by human negligence, recklessness and/or
maliciousness, and needs attention now. The two events are not, and should not be, connected.
The ETS looks like a tax on the wealthier nations that is distributed to the less developed countries.
The notion is based upon the premise that carbon exuding nations will pay a “price for carbon” to
those who are carbon friendly. This is not how it will work at all. It is a wellknown
circumstance of
society that whatever group administrates the redistribution
of funds collected for needy recipients
skims off the majority of the funds for administration of the scheme. Many charities spend more
money keeping their own organizations afloat than distributing contributions. The ETS will work
much like this. Whoever is collecting the carbon tax will not give it all to the developing nations.
They will find ways to keep it, through administration expenses, paying it to their friends who are
developing and employing carbon friendly technology, and outright embezzling it from the fund.
The ETS will really put a heavy burden on the middle classes, raising costs of fuel and energy, which
will raise the cost of everything. Many will gladly pay the carbon tax because they have been
indoctrinated to do their part for the environment. The lower classes will get some benefits to keep
them appeased. But, the real winners in the ETS will be the upper classes, who will be in line to
develop new technologies, collect the carbon tax, and steal what they can. This will widen the gap
between the rich and the poor, all in the name of saving the planet. It is just another step towards
complete subjugation of the people.

Chapter 4
Too much attention has been focused on share markets. The health of economies is often gauged by
share market performance. In reality though, the share markets do not reflect the health of the
economies – it only appears that way now.
In 1929, the share markets collapsed, and the world fell into a dreadful depression that was only
alleviated by wartime
spending. So little was learned from the Great Depression that the world is
again heading down the same path, but on a larger, more complex scale. The end result could be a
deeper plunge than what occurred in 1929.
The West is hiding its recession by propping up the images of corporations. Share prices do not
indicate the actual value of companies as much as they reflect the image of those organizations.
Deception is everywhere. The main objective of speculative share trading is to enrich a few at the
expense of many.
The collapse of the ENRON fortune is an extreme example of corporate manipulation of its own
share prices by its management, which amounted to massive fraud. Unfortunately, the information
gained from the ENRON affair is being used by the Qualas to gauge how far they can push foreign
and domestic investors with blatant shareprice
manipulations before the shell will crack.
ENRON was a microlevel
matter, concerning a single organization. The Qualas have applied the
same tactics at the macro level and are openly manipulating entire share markets, trying to keep up
the image of a healthy economy when they know it is facing certain collapse. As a consequence of
the ENRON affair, many unscrupulous corporate managers also know how much manipulation is
possible before they are suspected. This has helped many otherwise weak corporations to keep their
share prices artificially elevated to uphold the illusive image of prosperity. The banking sector has
used theatrics with regards to bonds to uphold its image also. This is just another chapter from the
ENRON game plan being played out. Many public and private reporting agencies are intentionally
distributing false information about the share markets and other world events to keep the economy
hanging by a thread.
It was massive manipulation that resulted in the global financial crisis (GFC). Most of the central
banks decided to lower interest rates towards zero. Huge financial rescue packages were then
introduced, which had the effect of raising all participating countries’ debt levels. The rescue
packages were based upon Keynesian economics, which had failed to accomplish much in the Great
Depression. Not surprisingly then, even though the rescue packages initially appeared hopeful, debt
subsequently soared, such that the recession will soon be recognized as a fullblown
depression. This

will eventually bring about a restabilizing
of the world economy leaving a very wide gap between
the “haves” and the “havenots.”
The sharemarket
investors are at the mercy of the market manipulators because, whilst they suspect
that the markets are being openly manipulated, they hope that the manipulation is being done for the
good of the world economy. They want to believe in the system, despite all of the mounting evidence
that it is being manipulated to benefit the rich and the powerful of the world. Little do they imagine
that a fraud of astronomical proportions is being played out, with the investors as the stooges.
Investors rely upon financial pundits and the media to keep the world markets relatively honest, but
they have misplaced their trust. For instance, financial analysts have not alerted investors to look at
the massive volume of shares that is being traded as share markets are jerked about by Qualas
puppeteers. The movements of markets and the massive volume of shares traded should have alerted
even the dullest of analysts to the fact that the markets are being manipulated. Yet, pundits are nearly
silent on the issue of volume.
In reality, the shares were being sold at firesale
rates, whilst the manipulators abused the resources
pledged in the rescue packages to buy massive amounts of shares to create the illusion that there was
an upward spike in the markets. There is a lot of money to be made in the market by speculators who
see through the manipulation, but there is nothing for the naïve investor who misguidedly trusts in the
markets’ integrity. In truth, the manipulators are scamming the whole world much like a macroscale
Enron game. In short, they are manipulating the world share markets to present the illusion of
greater value until the inevitable crash.
As people began to see through the manipulation of the markets, attention was diverted by raising the
ire of the public at overpaid corporate executives, pointing blame at various thieves, and accusing
firms of Ponzi schemes. It is despicable that some corporate executives are so overpaid, but forget
for a moment the billions scammed by these executives, and forget the billions stolen in Ponzi
schemes. There is a bigger issue that people need to consider.
The global recession is helping to advance Qualas plans. “Lifeline” bailouts are being offered to
failing banks and other companies. Many of these bailout offers are really nothing but disguised
hostile takeover bids. Often the recipients are forced to give highyield
preferred stock for the
bailouts, which dilute the common shares, and could ultimately cause their common stock to become
valueless. Clearly, the “magnanimous” bailouts are not life preservers at all, but anchors designed to
look like buoys. That is, the governments could well be procuring companies for virtually nothing.
Another facet of this elaborate and nefarious plan is that the governments will have to borrow the
money to finance these bailouts, which they then plan on recouping by excessively taxing future
generations.
Even in the midst of the global economic crisis, the standard phrase voiced by the experts was that
nations needed to borrow their way out of the recession. This caused many nation states to run huge

is, to operate in total austerity. The situation in Greece clearly shows that the stimulus packages,
which were only bandaid
solutions, have placed millstones around the necks of all nations that have
implemented them. Nations deemed to be too far in debt are facing forced austerity measures, which
will probably result in lower wages, higher taxes, more unemployment, and much misery for their
people.
Share market investing is supposed to be beneficial for the economy. Why? What good does it do
for the economy? The share prices can only inflate or deflate the images of corporations or stock
indexes. It is really gambling based on information that is made available. The speculators are
taking all the benefits from the market cycles at the expense of naïve investors who believe in the
market place. When the speculators lose huge amounts, the people are forced to bail them out.
The financial affairs in the world are intertwined. When one economy fails, it affects others, which
can affect more still, until the dominoes are all knocked down.
When the world is impoverished, the disadvantaged majority will be tremendously oppressed and
their liberty will be diminished. When they have no jobs, no income, no money, and no hope, they
will have no voice. They will then be forced into subjugation to the rich and powerful. Whole
countries can be affected and impoverished. Indeed, economic dependence is in opposition to being
free. The gap between the rich and poor will amplify the already intolerable division of classes.

Chapter 5
The history of the world is mired in conquest and exploitation. With conquest, came the spoils of
war. Captives were sometimes murdered, other times they were allowed to assimilate into the
invading community as members, and sometimes they were kept as slaves.
One substitute for open aggression and conflict with neighbors was to trade goods and services with
them. That is, commerce became an alternative to war and aggressive plunder. Brides or servants
and slaves were sometimes used as barter as a price and value was placed on human servitude and
enslavement. Thus began the unsavory business of slave trading, which spread around the world.
Human trafficking is at epidemic proportions today. According to the U.S. Government's 2010 report
on human trafficking, about 12.3 million adults and children are in forced or bonded labor and
prostitution around the world, which includes sex slaves being abused in America.11
History abounds with empires formed by those who would conquer the world, if unchecked.
Hannibal, Alexander the Great, the Caesars, the Pharaohs, and Kublai and Genghis Khan were some
of the earlier military conquerers. Religious conquerers blended military might with philosophical
righteousness rooted in the unseen realms to fuel and justify their campaigns.
Wars on every continent have ravaged the globe. The main difference amongst the wars was the size
of the armies involved and the technology they had at their disposal. Wars became more largescale
and widespread when the horse was domesticated. After gunpowder was brought back from China,
the wars in the Western world took on a whole new complexion with the development of firearms.
After Europeans had ravaged their homelands with guns, they spread their wings, and commenced
terrorizing the entire world with flaming muzzles of death. Asians, Indians, Australians, Africans
and Americans were at the mercy of the Western invaders, who mounted cannons to their wellrigged
sailing ships and carried small arms ashore. Sometimes the Westerners brought trinkets to trade or
sent missionaries, sometimes they plundered outright, but, always, they brought misery and doom to
the conquered. They so overpowered their opponents that whole continents were at the mercy of
these European explorers, traders, soldiers and priests. The whole world was bullied by European
expansionists.
Europeans conquered the world, but not with a united front. Spain, Portugal, Holland, France and
Great Britain were the main contestants for world domination. Eventually, Britain came to hold the
most strategic colonies, and could have conquered the entire world, were it not for her attempt to
impose absolute tyranny on her colonies in North America, which resulted in what appeared to be a
huge military defeat at the hands of the American colonists.

As will be demonstrated, Britain, who will fight for a feather,12 does not give up easily and quietly.
There were many attempts made through espionage and sabotage to topple the newlyformed
country
of the United States by George III and his ministers. It was the determination of the British court to
have nothing to do with America but to conquer her fully and absolutely.13 Bribes and other
underhanded schemes failed to achieve her objective, so she again went to war with what she
perceived as an upstart colony. The cunning of the fox is as murderous as the violence of the wolf,
and we ought to guard equally against both.14 Two decades after the war of 1812 concluded, Britain
was under the direction of Queen Victoria, and continued its designs for world conquest, forcing
opium upon the Chinese and letting soldiers and East India Tea Company representatives brutalize
whole populations. Never to be forgotten was the perceived indignity done to Britain by the
Americans.
Before the 19th century ended, something or somebody, which most probably points to Britain,
convinced America to assume Britain's role as the major imperialist power in the world. First there
was the SpanishAmerican
War, then conquest of the Philippines. When America seemed to slow
her imperialist movements, conveniently, World War I broke out in Europe. America tried to hold
neutrality during the war, but as it dragged on, the United States was eventually pulled into the
conflict.
One might wonder why Britain allowed America to take a major role in a European war if Britain
had an agenda to topple America. By the same token, one might ask why Britain would allow
America to become imperialist. The answer is very likely that Britain coaxed America into
becoming the world's imperialist power, and simultaneously retracted its own military position
because it was becoming too expensive for Britain to maintain the enormous military expense, and
she could see that she was becoming the most hated nation on Earth. This had to change.
Up stepped the American patsy. Only with reluctance did the United States enter World War I. At
the conclusion of the war, Britain's Empire was at its zenith. Then, mysteriously, America began to
take center stage. As World War II progressed, the United States became a force to be reckoned with.
It subsequently spread its military might into Korea, Southeast
Asia, threatened the USSR and
funded NATO's defiance of the Warsaw Pact countries. The United States bankrupted and caused the
dismantling of the USSR into several independent countries and pressed NATO ever eastward,
towards Russia.
America led battles in Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan and anywhere else it deemed feasible. All of
these battles have benefited Britain, and the United States has run itself into unfathomable debt in the
process. All the while, the United States was becoming the most hated nation on Earth, as Britain sat
quietly, accepting its position as a secondary power in the world.
This is not to excuse away America's behavior. America's pride has swelled, and it likes being the
toughest country on the globe. It likes being the world's police force. At least, the American rulers
do – but would the people agree if they understood what is happening?

What Crisis #14 will show is how the United States has been duped by a very vindictive Britain, who
has a long memory of the perceived wrong done to it in 1776. Its agenda has never changed – either
bring America back into the British Empire, or destroy it completely. Americans would not willingly
return to the fold, so destruction from within went full steam ahead, and it continues today. The
American leaders are tricked, cajoled, bribed, blackmailed and bullied into being the world's police
force, and the American people are convinced by American politicians and the media that all the
bloodshed, war and bullying is justified, because America is spreading freedom around the globe. Of
course, this is an oxymoron, because it is necessarily impossible to enforce freedom upon others.

Chapter 6
The history of Britain is perhaps better understood when viewed in terms of certain of her monarchs
whose reigns defined various significant periods in the chronological time line. What follows is an
extremely brief summary of certain of these periods, to give readers who are unfamiliar with British
history a sketch of some of the events that are pertinent to this book.
In 1066, the British Isles were invaded by William the Conquerer of France, who some say was
actually Scandinavian. The invader usurped the kingdom, which thereafter continued her waring.
Britain, for centuries past, has been nearly fifty years out of every hundred at war with some power
or other.15 The friends and foes of Britain often changed. At times, Britain formed alliances with the
Roman Church in its battles with foreign states and/or churches. At other times, Britain directly
fought the Roman Church. Britain has been very adept at making alliances with former foes, and
thereafter making foes of her former allies. This is integral to the history of Britain.
Richard I, known as Richard the LionHeart,
battled and conquered his way into Palestine, staking an
English claim to the Holy Lands during the Crusades in the 12th century. While LionHeart
was away
fighting for the Roman Church, his brother usurped his throne and became known as bad King John,
who was antagonistic towards the Church. When LionHeart
returned from the Crusades, he ousted
John and punished him by seizing his lands and castles. The reascension
of Richard the LionHeart
to the throne effectively brought England back into alliance with the Roman Church. LionHeart
died trying to reclaim French territories that John had relinquished during his absence and John again
took the throne.
Afterwards, the Roman Church tried to deal with John, who was obstinately unyielding. The Church
reinforced its strength and might by joining forces with the British barons. With the nobles
assistance, the bishops were able to force John to sign the Magna Carta in 1215. This has become
known as the great charter of English rights that limited the king's power, laid the foundation for the
English constitution, and established the Parliament. Today, it is hailed as the great charter of rights.
The opening of the Magna Carta names King John as the Duke of Normandy as well as ruler of
England, Ireland, and all the peoples therein:
JOHN, by the grace of God King of England, Lord of Ireland, Duke of Normandy and
Aquitaine, and Count of Anjou, to his archbishops, bishops, abbots, earls, barons, justices,
foresters, sheriffs, stewards, servants, and to all his officials and loyal subjects, Greeting.
The second paragraph of the Magna Carta names the Roman Church and its allies:

KNOW THAT BEFORE GOD, for the health of our soul and those of our ancestors and heirs,
to the honour of God, the exaltation of the holy Church, and the better ordering of our
kingdom, at the advice of our reverend fathers Stephen, archbishop of Canterbury, primate of
all England, and cardinal of the holy Roman Church, Henry archbishop of Dublin, William
bishop of London . . . and other loyal subjects:
Thus, the two main parties to the Magna Carta were the State, represented by King John, and the
Church, specifically the Holy Roman Church. That is, the Magna Carta was a formal, written
acknowledgement of settlement between these two waring factions. In a sense, it was a truce or a
treaty. Whatever rights the people gained from the Magna Carta were incidental to the truce between
the Church and State. The main concern was not for the people, it was for the Church and the State.
The Magna Carta is the foundational Act, the formalization of the British constitution, which has
many other intricate and interwoven parts that make interpretation of it difficult because the
constitution of England is so exceedingly complex.16 The Magna Carta also formalized and made
sacred the “rule of law.” Today, every Tom, Dick and Harry knows the phrase, “It's the law!” This
phrase is used repeatedly to justify ludicrous and absurd actions in daily life.
The sanctifying of a perpetual legal system is found throughout the Magna Carta, with such sections
as (45): “We will appoint as justices, constables, sheriffs, or other officials, only men that know the
law of the realm and are minded to keep it well.”
The gender exclusivity in the preceding paragraph, keeping women out of the legal system, is
recurrent throughout the Magna Carta, which was assuredly maleoriented;
the subservience of
women is demonstrated throughout the Act. Consider section (54) as another example, “No one shall
be arrested or imprisoned on the appeal of a woman for the death of any person except her husband.”
Women were not even regarded as trusted witnesses!
As for class distinctions, they were upheld, sanctified, encouraged and supported by the Magna
Carta. For instance, in section (6) is found: “Heirs may be given in marriage, but not to someone of
lower social standing.” Added to this are such other affronts to the equality of people as section (21):
“Earls and barons shall be fined only by their equals.”
The Magna Carta lays open the battle for the control of people. At the time there were two main
powers fighting each other for absolute control over the populace. The Church often used the sword
to convert people to the faith. Once a people was conquered by the sword, so began the tradition of
parents passing their religious beliefs down to children and so on down the generations, until many
people were under the same faith, the Roman Catholic faith.
When Europeans strayed from the power of the Church, it instigated deadly Inquisitions to frighten
and force people into further submission. The Church's history is one of effectively using the fear of
death and the reward of Heaven to keep its flock in check. When the Church needed more resources,

it added doctrines such as indulgences to allow the rich to purchase their way out of purgatory.
Secret confessions became a source of valuable information about parishioners and the comings and
goings of others.
Battles between Church and State were fierce; at times they were overt and at other times covert. But
always, they were over control of the people. This sort of conflict was not restricted to European
feudal communities; in nonEuropean
societies, the chiefs often battled with shamans for control of
the people. It is a structure that is embedded in human societies. Those who mediate with the
unseen realms and those who dictate over the physical world constantly fight for control over the
populace.
The main controlling factor over people is fear. The Church primarily uses the afterlife to frighten its
flock into obedience, whilst the State uses brute force, laws and physical punishment to frighten
people into obedience.
With the passing of time, both the Church and the State developed intricate and complicated laws to
better control their respective congregations and communities. Well known on the spiritual side are
the dictates to go forth and multiply and to subdue the Earth. When populations swelled into
communities, obedience was directed by the Ten Commandments. These commandments
subsequently developed into food laws, health laws, building laws, commercial laws, trading laws,
marriage laws, enslavement laws and so on. With time, the Church had created justification and
sacred dictates to control nearly every aspect of human life.
The Church was not allowed to grow in power without great resistance from the chiefs and rulers of
the people. In this way the war emerged for control of people between the secular and religious
powers. It can sometimes be hard to see this war because there has been so much blurring and
blending of the dividing lines. Churches are no longer just spiritual vehicles and States are no longer
confined to secular issues. They have fought their way into each other's territory, but their quest is
always for control of the people the world over.
This is not in any way to suggest that religions are fraudulent in basis, but rather, that religions have
been manipulated and used by ambitious and rotten people. Where dealing with unseen powers, the
opportunities are ripe for fraudsters to take advantage of others, and the Church has attracted many
frauds and perverts, some of whom are leading the flocks. The perversions are surfacing in all types
and sects of religions. The tree of spirituality has become so corrupted that good fruit is the
exception, and rotten fruit the norm.
The State, instead of creating cathedrals and temples for worship, built halls in which to administer
governments, and temples of justice for courts of law. When the State became too overbearing with
its courts of law, the Church stepped in with its courts of equity. A balance was struck, and the two
systems were merged. In America, there are cases in which lawyers can barely identify whether they

are appearing in courts of law or courts of equity. To augment these, there are also military courts
and admiralty courts, which govern over disputes of war and extraterritorial disputes.
The Magna Carta formalizes, for all to see, how much control the Church had over Europeans' lives.
It is also a reminder of the events leading to its inception, of how far the State was willing to go to
fend off the Church's power, and of how the might of the State could not overcome the ferocity and
control of the Church. King John tried to go it alone, which encouraged France to go to war with
Britain, and this consequently led to John seeking the Church's assistance to quell the situation with
France. Ultimately John was forced to surrender to the Church. In exchange for its help, the Church
gathered the support of the barons, and the alliance of barons and churchmen forced John to sign the
Magna Carta. In reality, the Magna Carta is a glaring example of the battle between the Church and
the State. The beneficiaries were the combatants, with the common people receiving some of the
incidental scraps.
To this day, the Church has maintained taxexemption
status to protect its property and revenue from
the State. The State's subjects must not only pay the State's fees, but they must pay for the Church's
maintenance also. The war is ongoing between the State and Church, with the European State being
primarily represented by Britain, and the European Church by the Roman Catholic Church. There
are certainly many factions of the State and the Church, with skirmishes in many parts of the world
reflecting the battle between the Roman Church and British State. However, the main combatants
that have the most relevance today are London and the Vatican City.
There has been a long string of wars and splinters between the Church and State, and now these wars
are coming to a head. The Vatican has seen its perversion and its perverts exposed. This is due to a
combination of its attracting perverts into its midst and its longstanding
battle with the State.
These two forces should not be taken lightly. They have spread misery around the world. It has
taken the most cunning and brutal monarchs to effectively battle the Church, and the most dastardly
in the latter to keep the State in check.
London knew that it would not be able to conquer the entire world if it had to deal with the Church
everywhere it went. Therefore, it set the scientific community against the Church. Scientists began
disproving parts of the Bible, such as the deluge, the creation story and the like. Eventually, London
sponsored Charles Darwin, who presented a theory denying any deity, asserting instead that
everything on Earth was basically home grown from single cells that mutated endlessly. According
to Darwinian theory, intelligence grew as biological organisms became more complex.
Britain dealt with the troubling issue of the Roman Church in the 16th century, when Henry VIII
broke away from Rome, seized the Church's properties, and made himself the Head of his own
Church of England. The prolonged battle between Church and State continues today in the Republic
of Ireland, with the north being absorbed into the secular State and the south resisting with the
support of the Vatican. It is not a total coincidence that so many Irish churchmen are so openly being

exposed as pedophiles and perverts. Of course, the exposure of Catholic pedophile priests is a
worldwide phenomenon.
