<strong>Preface</strong></p>
<p><BR><br />
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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>This book is entitled Crisis #14, because if Thomas Paine were alive today, he would not only<br />
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!”</p>
<p>Throughout Crisis #14, Paine&#8217;s words will be extensively quoted in italics to emphasize how<br />
strongly he felt about freedom. When the reader encounters quotations in italics that are not cited, they will be the words of Thomas Paine.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>This theory will be supported by a wealth of evidence that indicts British monarchs, especially<br />
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.<br />
<strong><br />
Introduction</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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&#8217;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</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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&#8217;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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>1 Common Sense, Thomas Paine (1776).<br />
2 Common Sense</p>

<p>The plan leading to One World Government calls for wider disparity between the haves and the have-nots. This is not confined to individuals only, but also to groups, communities, organizations, nation states, alliances and so on. </p>
<p>Class distinction is a hallmark of the ruling elite. Their plans call for masters and slaves. The privileged classes will be the masters; everyone else who survives their purges will be subservient. </p>
<p>The ruling elite have confused many into believing that the Bilderberg Group, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission etc. are the ruling elite. In fact, there are not so many ruling elite. The members of these groups are more like high-level administrators in the ruling elites&#8217; hierarchy. They are the “higher” agents of the ruling elite, although the ruling elite have placed a few members of the real ruling class in with these various groups of people. By and large, the ruling elite do not show their faces to the rest of the world. </p>
<p>When the Bilderbergers gather for meetings, many suspicious eyes are focused on their conferences. However, most of the Bilderbergers have very little to say about the ruling elites&#8217; plans. They take orders from the ruling elite and are only allowed insight into the plans on a very strict “need-to-know” basis. </p>
<p>The world bankers are NOT the ultimate ruling elite. They are much like CEOs or top administrators of the banking industry. The ruling elite are in a hierarchy, and the bankers fit into this scheme, but they are certainly not on the top of the hierarchy. </p>
<p>As the Keynesian rescue plans advance, the gap between the haves and the have-nots will become more and more obvious. Many central banks have reduced interest rates to nearly zero, which greatly restricts manoeuvres by monetarist followers. Thus, Keynesians now have many world economies at their mercy. Australia is an exception, in that it still holds interest rates around 3.00 percent. Therefore, as long as Australia&#8217;s interest rates do not fall too far, the country will have more flexibility in weathering the global economic crisis. </p>
<p>Countries in Africa and South America have already been impacted by the unjust distribution of rescue-package funding. Whole countries and regions are falling into desperate economic circumstances. This is by design of the ruling elite, who are still putting up the pretence that the Keynesian rescue packages will have long-term positive effects. </p>
<p>The ruling elites&#8217; plan calls for some nations to be consumed in civil wars, others to be devastated financially, and still others, like America, to foolishly waste their resources and damage their reputations. As the weaker nations fall by the wayside, they will be swallowed up by stronger neighbours, even if they are allowed to maintain the façade of national independence. The powerful nations will dominate the weaker ones. That is, the haves will enslave the have-nots. </p>
<p>As nation states effectively disappear, the ruling elite will begin dismantling the world&#8217;s royal families, even though many of the royals are currently part of the ruling elite. By the time OWG is established, the class of ruling elite will have shrunk considerably. </p>
<p>The ruling elite closely monitored the G20 gathering in London. The representatives of the member nations did not reach a consensus of what plan they would follow. They only met for several hours in one day. The meeting was for show. The G20 nations were directed on what they would do to counter the economic crisis. The crisis was planned, initiated, and is now being conducted by the ruling elite. Their servants at the G20 meeting are only doing what they are supposed to do. The world leaders are being convinced to follow the ruling elites&#8217; plan by several means: the foolish are tricked; the arrogant are flattered; the impotent are ignored; the savvy ones are bribed, cajoled or coerced to comply. Regardless of where they fit into the scheme, the world leaders are not acting in the best interests of their constituents. Instead, they are acting as servants of the ruling elite. </p>
<p>Part of the ruling elites&#8217; plan is to use share markets as critical indicators of the health of the various economies. The share markets are being manipulated tremendously by the ruling elite. They go up and down as they are supposed to do, according to the ruling elites&#8217; plans. The manipulation, as I have said many times, is very obvious when one follows the volume traded on a given day. The ruling elite use many devices to move these market levels, and now, after a month of growth by the DOW, American president Obama avers that the recession is showing signs of ending. However, the DOW only went up because the ruling elite pushed it upward with huge capital outlays in shares to prop up the market to make it appear to be going up. Has the lesson from ENRON been forgotten so quickly? Why do the financial analysts almost completely ignore the volume of shares traded? </p>
<p>The answer is clear. The ruling elite do not want people to focus on the manipulation of the markets. They do not want people to know the truth. They want to maintain the illusion that the share markets represent something that they do not. The ruling elites&#8217; plan involves tricking the majority of the people into foolishly believing that the markets are honest leading indicators of the economy. There was a time when the share market movements could be relied on to assist in predicting future economic developments, but those days are long gone. The DOW is now so corrupted that it is no longer a status symbol to represent the privileged 30 companies on it. Instead, many of the companies on the index are in precarious states. This means that many of the blue chips no longer signify safe harbours for investors. The DOW now measures the level of manipulation that the gullible will fall for. </p>
<p>The media have not warned anybody about the share situation because they, too, are part of the ruling elites&#8217; hierarchy. Members of the ruling elite will be deceptive whenever it suits them. That is why it is often so confusing and difficult to determine who is who and what is what! </p>
<p>The recession will not end abruptly just because some world leader says so &#8211; unless the ruling elite order it to end. In all probability the ruling elite will maintain the recession until they crash the world share markets. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From: <a href="http://www.thomaspainereturns.net">www.thomaspainereturns.net</a></p>
<p>The ruling elite planned the global economic downturn. They timed the implementation and orchestration while controlling media coverage of it.</p>
<p>First, the plan involved the global economic downturn by contracting the global economy whilst denying the recession. Then the commencement of media reports about the recession began. This was followed by formal acknowledgement of the recession by world leaders. Most of the central banks were then ordered to lower interest rates towards zero. The ruling elite are involved in imposing massive financial rescue packages designed to raise all participating countries’ debt levels. However, these rescue packages are also designed to fail, which will send the world from recession into depression. This will eventually bring about a re-stabilizing of the world economy with a very wide gap between the haves and the have-nots. The One World Government will not be far behind.</p>
<p>The plan will succeed in part. The ruling elite will bring about the depression, but turmoil and unrest will get so far out of control that things will not be brought back into a neatly wrapped package for them. The world economy will not recover from the ruling elites’ manipulation of the economic systems the way they have planned.</p>
<p>Part of the plan involved manipulating the world share markets, first downward, to plunder as much wealth as possible from naïve investors who believe in the system, followed by wild gyrations to confuse everyone and allow for more plunder from gullible investors. Eventually, the ruling elite will intentionally crash the markets to steal further wealth at the expense of the ignorant investors.</p>
<p>The investors are at the mercy of the ruling elite 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 do 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.</p>
<p>Investors rely upon financial pundits and the media to keep the world markets relatively honest, but they have misplaced their trust. For instance, the financial analysts have not alerted the investors to look at the massive volume of shares that are being traded as share markets are jerked about by ruling elite puppeteers. The movements of markets and the massive volume of shares traded should have alerted even the dullest of analysts that the markets are being manipulated. Yet, pundits are nearly silent on the issue of volume.</p>
<p>An example of an individual stock in which volume has exploded is Alcoa. It has gone from trading in 5 to 20 million shares daily, to daily tolls of hundreds of millions of shares in March 2009. Some of the rescued banks are now trading in billions of shares! Does it make sense that thinking investors are lining up in droves to purchase these shares?</p>
<p>In reality, the shares are being sold at fire-sale rates, whilst the ruling elite are abusing the resources pledged in the rescue packages to buy massive amounts of shares to create the illusion that there is an upward spike in the markets. There is a lot of money to be made in the market by speculators who see through the ruling elites’ manipulation, but there is nothing for the naïve investor who misguidedly trusts in the markets’ integrity. In truth, the ruling elite are scamming the whole world much like a macro-scale Enron game. That is, they are manipulating the world share markets to present the illusion of greater value until the crash.</p>
<p>People are beginning to see through the manipulation of the markets, so the ruling elite have resurrected old standby diversions – 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 the executives, and forget the billions stolen in Ponzi schemes. What about the trillions the American Federal Reserve has skinned off the people? What about the trillions in the American Social Security Ponzi scheme? Why would anyone look to the Federal Reserve or the American government for answers to the global economic downturn? Why should any nation follow America into the economic swamp it made?</p>
<p>This is not a matter of party politics. The ruling elite play both sides of politics. They control government and opposition to execute their plan.</p>
<p>The ruling elite promote and sponsor the leaders they want in place. The world leaders are where they are because: they are either too naïve to suspect the dastardly plans of the ruling elite; they are too foolish to represent the best interests of their constituents; they are corrupt and doing the bidding of the ruling elite; they are intimidated to bow to the ruling elite; or they are part of the ruling elite.</p>
<p>The ruling elite are driving the planet to One World Government. When they accomplish this, all vestiges of liberty will vanish from the globe.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From:  <a href="http://www.thomaspainereturns.net">www.thomaspainereturns.net</a></p>
<p><span style="font-family:ARIAL;font-size:small;">Australia is under siege! The ruling elite have ordered the siege as they trial their plans for full implementation of the New World Order. The aboriginal communities have already tasted the bitterness of martial law. The excuse given was that there was widespread child abuse and sexual molestation occurring in the indigenous communities. Not everyone sees through the lies &#8211; yet! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:ARIAL;font-size:small;">The main thrust of the NWO&#8217;s current onslaught has been to tear down world commerce and bring about the global economic recession. The ruling elite&#8217;s answer to the recession has been to urgently pursue economic rescue packages that will put much of the world into hopeless debt. To develop a sense of urgency to act, the ruling elite are using scare tactics. People are being frightened into believing that delay in acting will plunge the world into economic ruin and make governments vulnerable to terrorist takeovers. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:ARIAL;font-size:small;">Most of the world leaders who have pushed through these packages are ignorant of the ruling elite&#8217;s devious plan to have the packages passed, put the world into debt, then crash the finances into full-blown depression. Most of the world leaders are oblivious to the dastardly plans of the ruling elite. Hence, some blindly follow the orders of the ruling elite; others are forced to comply with them; still others are programmed to step in line. After the world falls into depression, the ruling elite will step up their &#8220;stealing&#8221; and destroying of properties and companies. This has been done many times in the past, but this time it will be done on a mammoth scale. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:ARIAL;font-size:small;">Australia, like the other &#8220;good&#8221; NWO participants, is pursuing a huge, debt-laden financial rescue package that will do little or nothing to help the local economy, but much to boost the ruling elite&#8217;s plan. The widely stated purpose of the rescue package is to preserve Australian jobs and ward off the recession. The hidden agenda behind the Australian and similar rescue packages is to put the nations into deep debt, followed by depression, which will ultimately discourage entire nations. Many will succumb to the NWO plans as they will be so confused, helpless and in a state of hopeless despair that they will accept nearly any type of conditions. Unfortunately, the minority voice that sees through the ruling elite&#8217;s plan will not be heard. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:ARIAL;font-size:small;">Over the years, Australia has already eliminated most of the smaller shires and virtually dismantled local governments. People have less and less of a voice in what is occurring. The ruling elite have effectively programmed their lackeys to shout the praises of fluoridating drinking water despite the overwhelming evidence that fluoride is a dangerous and potentially lethal toxin. Forced fluoridation is only the beginning. Once the people have been brainwashed to accept fluoride, they will accept any kind of medications or toxins in their water. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:ARIAL;font-size:small;">Whilst there is still massive resistance to re-cycling sewage into drinking water in Australia, the government ignores the people&#8217;s protests. In the NWO, people will have no voice. The ruling elite are setting the stage so they can release dangerous bacterial diseases via supposed &#8220;accidents&#8221; that allow raw sewage into the drinking water. There will be plenty of &#8220;lone gunman&#8221; and &#8220;mad scientist&#8221; scapegoats to point fingers at when these planned disasters occur, and each event will be followed by drawn out investigations to develop &#8220;safeguards&#8221; to assure such &#8220;accidents&#8221; do not recur. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:ARIAL;font-size:small;">The ruling elite are shutting down the Australian economy to drive out the hope of its people. Whilst doing this, they are busy in other areas, destroying democracy, decimating communities and regions, and working away at the Australian psyche. Their timing is critical. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:ARIAL;font-size:small;">The northern two-thirds of Queensland is flood affected and the authorities are very slow to aid the region. The southern region of Victoria has been &#8220;firebombed&#8221;, and the authorities are angering people with illogical and inconsistent messages. So much of the country is suffering, and so little is being done by the government, even though it gives the appearance of assisting the victims. The people of Australia have opened their hearts to the fire and flood ravaged areas, but there is only so much that Australians can give, and as the ruling elite keeps hitting and hitting at the nation with one disaster after another, the hearts of the Australians will eventually despair. This is by design. The Australian people are being systematically decimated by the ruling elite. They are the target. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:ARIAL;font-size:small;">The unprecedented floods of 2009 in Far North Queensland were unleashed on Australia by the ruling elite. Contrary to popular belief, the ruling elite can control many aspects of the weather, and conveniently blame it on global warming. Almost simultaneously, after an extended, very suspicious appearing, record-breaking heat wave, Victorian forested towns were &#8220;firebombed&#8221;. As a prelude to the fires and floods, the ruling elite bombed Mumbai, and conducted a massacre in Gaza, which &#8220;miraculously&#8221; halted just before America inaugurated its first Black President. The timing of these events is incredibly impeccable. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:ARIAL;font-size:small;">The people in the Australian bushland are hardy individuals and not easily pushed around. Just like in wartime evacuations, these bush people are being herded off their homelands by fires and floods &#8211; in accordance with ruling elite plans. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:ARIAL;font-size:small;">Some residents of fire-torn Victoria reported seeing several suspicious characters milling around a power pole shortly before fire erupted near that power pole. To counter these reports, the media has pursued the story of a supposed sighting of a &#8220;lone motorcyclist&#8221; with a gas can tied to a black motorbike. This sounds too much like the deranged &#8220;lone gunman&#8221; in the Australian Port Arthur Massacre, and the &#8220;lone gunman&#8221; assassin of President John F. Kennedy. It is the same curry recipe with a slight variation to suit the taste of the situations. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:ARIAL;font-size:small;">In the recent floods and fires, the roads were cut off. Only the authorities were allowed access to the areas. This is part of the trialling programme. Those who have some understanding of the situation will suspect that the ruling elite did not pounce on these opportunities &#8211; they created them. At present, the ruling elite&#8217;s favoured cover story regarding the fires is the lone motorcyclist. It would be too absurd to blame the floods on a lone seaman! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:ARIAL;font-size:small;">People are very angry at the firebugs. They are screaming mad and seeking revenge. But, the real firebugs are the ruling elite who are behind the recent, horrific, Victorian fires. Indeed, the ruling elite planned and implemented the firebombing in Victoria. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:ARIAL;font-size:small;">Where will they hit next? </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From <a href="http://www.thomaspainereturns.net">www.thomaspainereturns.net</a></p>
<p><span style="font-family:ARIAL;font-size:small;">Natural and unnatural disasters abound, weather anomalies explode everywhere, economic havoc swamps the world whilst the ruling elite continue calling the shots. Many things are happening that seem to be random, isolated events, but have they just been planned to appear that way? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:ARIAL;font-size:small;">The ruling elite control many governments, and they are directing their governments to extinguish people&#8217;s rights and liberties more and more. They use any excuse to bring about snippets of martial law for various terms. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:ARIAL;font-size:small;">Technology has reached a state where it can exacerbate natural occurrences and even create artificial meteorological/geological/viral events. These tools are being used to bring about extreme droughts, floods, unprecedented wind/fire/rain/hail/snow storms, earthquakes, diseases, etc., all of which can conveniently be attributed to global warming. The people caught in these epidemics and disasters feel helpless and subsequently look to their respective governments for assistance. Often, it is a case where the culprits appear to be the guardians. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:ARIAL;font-size:small;">Many world leaders are desperately pursuing economic rescue packages in their respective parliaments. The different groups of the ruling elite have attempted to hide the global recession for many months. Now, right on schedule, they are all exposing the economic crisis that faces the world with a united voice. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:ARIAL;font-size:small;">Again, with one voice, the world leaders now seek enormous economic rescue packages. Regardless of apparent differences being aired domestically and internationally, their ultimate goal remains similar &#8211; to pass huge packages that will draw the whole world into debtor&#8217;s “prisons”. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:ARIAL;font-size:small;">The leaders are now stressing the urgency to pass these rescue packages to ward off another 1930s-style Great Depression. They argue that the American President, Franklin Roosevelt, used the Keynesian economic model of huge deficit spending to pull the United States out of the Great Depression. This, they claim, can be done again on a global scale. However, the huge spending outlays by the Roosevelt government did not bring the country out of depression, it was the entry into World War II that did. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:ARIAL;font-size:small;">The share markets are faltering and have been propped up by the ruling elite to uphold what little value still exists in them. The ruling elite do not want to risk any more of their resources to prop up the markets, so they have called on the governments of the world to do this for them. The governments are answering the ruling elite&#8217;s calls by passing enormous rescue packages, which will temporarily maintain the illusion of some remaining value in the markets. These packages are not designed to help the ordinary people keep their homes and jobs. Instead, they are rescue packages for the favoured of the ruling elite. The people who put their confidence in the ruling elite&#8217;s providence will end up disappointed when their common stock becomes practically valueless. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:ARIAL;font-size:small;">Banks are amongst the most favoured sons and daughters of the ruling elite. Once the plans are in motion, the “rescued” banks will become greedy landpersons who grab higher rents and more properties. The common people will suffer horrendously at the hands of the ruling elite and their banks. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:ARIAL;font-size:small;">The rescue packages will fail miserably, which is exactly what the ruling elite anticipate. Then, the global recession will develop into global depression. The ruling elite hope that history will repeat, and just as the Great Depression of the 1930s led to World War II, the ruling elite hope that the twenty-first century economic depression will lead to World War III. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:ARIAL;font-size:small;">If the ruling elite have their way, things will get decidedly worse for the people. Those who understand the situation should resist the ruling elite. </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong> From: <a href="http://www.thomaspainereturns.net">www.thomaspainereturns.net</a></strong></p>
<p>In 1947, the nation of Israel was artificially created by the world&#8217;s ruling elite. It was brought into existence due to the World War II holocaust, which the ruling elite implemented. Israel&#8217;s recent history is intentionally complex so that rational discussion of it can confuse the issue of what is occurring within its borders today.</p>
<p>In effect, Israel is in a state of civil war. Under the current circumstances, all the people within the national borders of Israel are, in fact, the responsibility of the Israeli government. The Palestinians are opposed to continued subjugation to Israeli rule, and the Israeli government continues to subject them to absolute control under its power.</p>
<p>The Israeli government is responsible for everything that happens to its constituents. It has proven itself to be, at best, a neglectful parent of the Palestinians. But, in reality, Israel has been an abusive, murderous parent. This cannot be allowed.</p>
<p>Today, the ruling elite have used the Palestinians as fodder to distract people from the world economic crisis, by focusing on either peace in the Middle East or biblical style war. Either will fit into the schemes of the ruling elite. War or peace will suffice. Distraction is the aim.</p>
<p>Israel has had three generations to become a civilized nation. What is the current status of the country? It is mired in civil war, which it “solves” by walling off sections of the country, laying siege on its people, and sporadically massacring Palestinians when it suits the Israeli government to do so. The culmination of six decades of Israeli governance boils down to apartheid and genocide.</p>
<p>President Obama utilized Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King to win the White House. Lincoln freed the slaves because the law allowing slavery was morally wrong. To do this he had to break some rules whilst ignoring the American Constitution. To Lincoln, freeing the slaves was more important than following the rule of law. To paraphrase philosopher Henry David Thoreau from his essay, <em>On Civil Disobedience</em>, when a law is as morally reprehensible as slavery, then the law must be broken. That is what Lincoln did. Martin Luther King followed Thoreau, as did Mahatma Gandhi. These people believed in civil disobedience to right what is wrong. King sought to eliminate segregation, which amounted to apartheid in America. Obama jumped on their bandwagons, indicating that he will follow those who fought for civil rights.</p>
<p>But Obama continues to follow the rule of law that allows Israel to do what it wants to the Palestinians within its borders. To uphold apartheid within its borders, Israel committed another horrendous massacre of Palestinians. It was carried out until the eve of Obama&#8217;s inauguration! This was by design. Does Obama condemn Israel? Does he even reprove Israel? No. Obama wants to negotiate for peace in the Middle East by forcing everyone in the region to recognize Israel&#8217;s right to segregate, bully, abuse and slaughter Palestinians. Hence, the rule of law is morally repugnant in this instance!</p>
<p>Israel has clearly demonstrated that it will govern inhumanely towards the Palestinians. The solution to the Israeli civil war is to ostracize the nation and politically disassemble it. Since Israel has failed miserably to honour even the most basic of human needs and rights for its Palestinian residents, it has forfeited its right to be a nation. It was artificially assembled and it can be disassembled when it no longer works. Thus, Israel should be DISMANTLED.</p>
<p>Amongst those nations that watched the massacre of Palestinians was Syria, whose government has been furtively supporting Israel and the United States for many years. Its façade has fallen. Its people support the Palestinians; the government does not.</p>
<p>In the midst of the upheaval in the Middle East, the world leaders are scrambling to reverse the global economic downturn. If the truth be told, most world leaders are much more concerned about the economy than the most recent slaughtering of a thousand plus Palestinians.</p>
<p>The ruling elite planned the global recession to advance their plan of One World Government. Now they are offering “lifeline” bailouts 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 high-yield preferred stock for the bailouts, which dilute the common shares and could ultimately cause their common stock to be valueless. Clearly, the “magnanimous” bailouts are not life preservers at all, but instead are anchors designed to look like buoys. That is, the governments could well be procuring companies for virtually nothing. Further, the governments will borrow the money to offer these bailouts, so the governments plan on excessively taxing future generations for this elaborate and nefarious plan. When the ruling elite fully implements their plan, governments, companies and banks will all be under the same master.</p>
<p>In another vein, the ruling elite are rapidly moving to various strategic places to cast their watchful eyes over their chessboard. One strategic point is the shipping route through the Strait of Juan de Fuca, which will soon be watched from Vancouver Island in the north and the Olympic Peninsula in the south. Brisbane, Australia, is a blooming New World Order port. Infiltration is planned into Malaysia through Kuala Lumpur and another region.</p>
<p>Life under the One World Government will be like mass slavery. Soon, those who write against the New World Order will only be those whom the ruling elite allow. Lies, threats, blackmail, bribes, frame-ups and other coercion will be used to silence those who try to publish truthful information about the One World Government.</p>
<p>As people lose their liberty more and more, truth will be dispensed less and less. The truth should be put out now whilst it still can be done. The phrase circulating now that “We are one” can mean many things.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family:ARIAL;font-size:small;">The whole world watches as the Palestinians in Gaza are being massacred. The justification for watching the slaughter is that Israel has the right to defend itself from Hamas rocket attacks on Israelis. But what of Palestine’s right to defend itself against further incursion by Israeli tactics? The massacres of non-combatant women, children, aid workers, medical staff, United Nation refuge workers etc. are excused away as inevitable and acceptable casualties of war. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:ARIAL;font-size:small;">If all the nations of the world were to apply these justifications for their military actions, the whole world would become lawless, unsafe and barbaric. It would be a world ruled by bullies. The strongest would dominate and dictate to the rest of the world. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:ARIAL;font-size:small;">The footprints of the ongoing slaughter in Gaza are all too obvious. America attacks by bombing incessantly and obliterating their opponent’s civilian infrastructure before sending in their invading forces. The Clinton administration did this in Yugoslavia and Bush has done it in Iraq. Today’s Israeli invasion of Gaza follows the American military strategy. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:ARIAL;font-size:small;">One might ask why a small nation like Israel would dare to defy the Secretary General of the United Nations and almost all civilized nations on the planet by continuing the slaughter. The obvious answer is that Israel has the support of America in this activity. That is, Israel dares its massacre of the Palestinians in Gaza because the Bush administration condones and/or has orchestrated it. But, does Israel have the same support from President-elect Barack Obama? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:ARIAL;font-size:small;">Obama’s silence on the issue of the slaughter can be construed as tacit approval of the Bush policy. Today, he has finally spoken out and was reported in the Guardian News and Media Limited to have said: </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:ARIAL;font-size:small;">The loss of civilian life in Gaza and Israel is a source of deep concern to me, and after January 20, I’m going to have plenty to say about the issue.</span><span style="font-family:ARIAL;font-size:small;">Is the issue of ongoing killing of innocent civilians not pressing enough to speak out now? Is this because the lives of the <em>goyim</em> are being taken at a ratio of 100 for each Israeli killed? The casualties on both sides are not acceptable! They need to be stopped now! Were 100 Israelis dying for each Palestinian killed, what would Obama’s response be? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:ARIAL;font-size:small;">Many of the Arab leaders are maintaining silence about the Israeli targeting of schools, hospitals and UN refuge centres as they slaughter Palestinian civilians in Gaza. This massacre cannot go on. Cowardice will not be rewarded. The quiet ones are slaves to their bully masters. Their nations could be the next targets of Israeli/American aggression, or that of other nations. Hamas leaders have now declared that it is open warfare on Israeli schools, hospitals and refuge points. Whilst it is understandable for Hamas to feel that way, it would be wholly unacceptable for them to carry out their warfare in that manner just because the Israelis have. Then their behaviour would be the same as Israel’s. This war has terrorized the civilians on both sides – it must stop now! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:ARIAL;font-size:small;">Those responsible for destroying Iraq and spilling blood are now rewarding themselves with the highest civilian honour that can be bestowed by the American government. This just proves yet again that to the victors go the spoils. After Yugoslavia was destroyed by the West, Milosovich, who must have believed that he was trying to defend his own country, was being tried as a war criminal when he conveniently died in a Western prison. Saddam Hussein was tried, convicted and gruesomely executed for being a war criminal. Hussein must have also believed that he was defending his country. Were the vanquished to have been the victors, would Blair, Howard and Bush be tried, convicted and executed for war crimes? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:ARIAL;font-size:small;">The media has been silenced on the Gaza war. Israel has denied foreign journalists access to the war zone. The New York Times has expressed its concern over this, but Ethan Bronner’s January 7, 2009 article, “Israel Puts Media Clamp on Gaza,” has clearly been restricted. Reading between the lines, he is declaring that Israel is antagonistic to free speech and the Western press. One Australian journalist for the Seven Television Network claimed that things are so horrendous in Gaza that he would not show pictures or discuss the horrific scenes that he had witnessed. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:ARIAL;font-size:small;">The BBC has reported that Prime Minister Gordon Brown has finally stated: </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:ARIAL;font-size:small;">This is a humanitarian crisis. This is the darkest moment yet for the Middle East and it affects the whole of the world.</span><span style="font-family:ARIAL;font-size:small;">How could it have taken Brown so long to speak out? How could it take Obama so long to object? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:ARIAL;font-size:small;">Whilst Obama could be viewed as only tacitly complicit in the massacre, this excuse is obscene. Obama is actively responsible for what is occurring. He has spoken publicly on many other issues, yet remained silent on the Gaza slaughter, claiming there is only one president at a time. His latest stance of wait until “after January 20” is even more appalling than his prior silence. In effect, he is saying that the massacre can continue for two more weeks! It can wait because the humanitarian crisis is not important enough to worry about now! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:ARIAL;font-size:small;">However, Obama has not only tacitly condoned Bush’s approval of the slaughter, he is very actively involved, because Obama has selected Robert Gates as his proposed Secretary of Defence. Gates is Bush’s Secretary of Defence! Bush and Obama are of opposing political parties! To realize the absurdity of this, imagine the outrage if Gordon Brown removed Labour member John Hutton from Secretary of State for Defence from his Labour cabinet and appointed Tory Leader David Cameron to the post! By choosing the opposition party’s Secretary of Defence, Obama is proclaiming that there is not a single Democrat suitable for taking the position, and therefore he must take the opposition’s choice to fill this cabinet position. This means not only does he approve of Bush’s war policies, but that he also intends to continue along the lines of his predecessor. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:ARIAL;font-size:small;">The growing anger directed at Israel for this ongoing massacre is boiling over. Since there are no strong stances being taken by world leaders to stop this incursion, one shudders to think at the escalation this is inviting. Fury is mounting against Israel, which is putting innocent civilians in Israel and around the world in severe danger. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:ARIAL;font-size:small;">The political hypocrisy is exposed to the world. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:ARIAL;font-size:small;">The mounting suffering must stop now! </span></p>

This day is fast approaching.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thomaspainereturns.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6166709&amp;post=9&amp;subd=thomaspainereturns&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The sharp reality of One World Government confronts us all. Placing the whole world under a single, common government will necessarily entail imposing totalitarian rule with centralized control. This day is fast approaching.</p>
<p>Democracies around the world are rapidly changing for the worse. Democracy is burdensome to authoritarian rulers; those countries that still have vestiges of liberty are the most difficult to govern and control. True republics are even more problematical to authoritarian rulers. Therefore, the ruling elite have to first corrupt them into perceived democracies in order to phase out the true republics.</p>
<p>In many democratic countries, the voice of the people is being quashed. As long as the people go along with what rulers want, the appearance of democracy is upheld. But, when issues that are important to the plans of the ruling elite are not accepted by the people, all pretences are dropped. The ruling elite then force the issues upon the people against the will of the majority.</p>
<p>Examples of this can be found around the world. Every informed reader living in a supposed democratic nation will have noticed the corruption of democracy in their respective country, whether they be in Australia, Austria, Canada, Denmark, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the United States or elsewhere.</p>
<p>Examples of eroding democracy in Australia include: the issue of amalgamation of shires into super shires, which has been despotically forced on people against public choice; fluoridation of drinking water has been ordered against the will of the vast majority of the people; recycling of sewage into drinking water is also being forced upon unwilling constituents. The government has completely disregarded heated protests, and has bullied the people into unwillingly accepting these three sensitive matters. The people&#8217;s wishes on these issues have been trampled upon. In other words, democratic principles are often discarded in Australia.</p>
<p>Australia does not have an express bill of rights. Free speech is not guaranteed in the Australian Constitution. When Pope Benedict visited Australia in 2008, the government severely curtailed protests and demonstrations against his visit. This shows official disregard for free speech. There was very little the people could do, and the media helped the government in curtailing free speech.</p>
<p>As the creeping erosion of democracy began to snowball, one insult after another, more and more Australians began seeing through the government&#8217;s heavy-handed tactics. They now suspect that the government is planning the unthinkable &#8211; taking away their liberties.</p>
<p>Australia will soon be one of the most stringent internet censors amongst democratic countries. The supposed primary purpose of the new filtering system is to protect the children from exploitation by paedophiles and other unsavoury sorts. Once people venture down the path of censorship, there is no limit to the abuse that can be imposed upon the people. Under the guise of protecting the populations from “terrorist activities”, mosques, churches, schools, businesses, hospitals etc. are targeted and the inhumane cruelty inflicted on people is justified in the name of fighting terrorism. Likewise, censorship can be abused to limit anything that threatens the One World Government.</p>
<p>The internet is systematically being obstructed, censored and debilitated. The people are being sedated via many means, including drinking water, food, medications, various types of radiation, bombardment of inaudible sounds and so on.</p>
<p>The erosion of liberty can be seen all around the world. When all the pieces are stacked together they clearly indict the ruling elite of the world for conspiring to eliminate freedom on the planet. Presently, there are different groups of ruling elite working together for a common goal &#8211; to strip the people of liberty. When liberties are sufficiently restricted for their purposes, a supreme ruler will emerge and head the One World Government.</p>
<p>The switchover will be very quick and go virtually uncontested. Laws protecting people&#8217;s rights will effectively vanish in very short order as the One World Government is established. Those who resist Big Brother will often just disappear.</p>
<p>The approach of this gloomy state is very real. The ruling elite know they cannot hold off their economic fraud for much longer with their false promises of economic rescue. They are knowingly diverting people&#8217;s attention to other issues. They know that the One World Government must be imposed quickly, before people wake up enough to become belligerent and fiercely rebellious. The ruling elite know that civil wars will erupt uncontrollably around the world if they do not move fast enough.</p>
<p>To buy some time, the ruling elite are again staging another Israeli-Palestinian war, which is another shameful excuse to massacre more Palestinians. The West has equipped Israel with an arsenal that dwarfs the Palestinians&#8217; inferior military weaponry. The innocent people from both sides are being victimized by this ugly conflict. The ruling elite have no conscience. Instead, they have goals for world domination.</p>
<p>People will be weaker tomorrow than they are today. Today they can speak out, tomorrow they will be silenced. Today, if they awaken, they can act. Tomorrow will be too late. Today they can still see, hear, feel and taste the signs of tyranny. Tomorrow they will be silenced into accepting despotic rule or be eliminated.</p>
<p>It is your choice &#8211; Resist or Repose.</p>
