-Caveat Lector- Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you mad. --- Aldous Huxley The dissident does not operate in the realm of genuine power at all. He is not seeking power. He has no desire for office and does not gather votes. He does not attempt to charm the public, he offers nothing and promises nothing. He can offer, if anything, only his own skin -- and he offers it solely because he has no other way of affirming the truth he stands for. His actions simply articulate his dignity as a citizen, regardless of the cost. --- Vaclav Havel ~ "A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly against the city. But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through all alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears no traitor; he speaks in the accents familiar to his victim, and he wears their face and their garments and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation; he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city; he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared. The traitor is the plague." --- Cicero in a speech to the Roman Senate, as recorded by Sallust Colonel Edward Mandell House "Colonel" House, a Texas plutocrat, blueprinted the conversion of the American government from egalitarian republicanism to state socialism. The conversion itself occurred in two steps: (1) Attaining control of the national money system by means of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913; and (2) assumption of over-all control of the economy by the federal government, which began under Franklin Roosevelt and the New Deal. House, a shadowy figure who is practically unknown to the American public these days, was one of the most influential men in twentieth century American politics. He engineered the election of Woodrow Wilson to the presidency; he played a key role in the formulation of the Federal Reserve Act; he represented Wilson in the negotiations that finalized the disastrous Treaty of Versailles; also, he was one of the invisible king-makers behind Franklin Roosevelt. Like Darwin, Herbert Spencer and many other key figures in the Scientism/Global Socialism movement, Col. House was chronically ill much of his life. During Wilson's last two years in office, Edith Wilson banned House from the White House. According to Gurudas, House helped establish the CFR [Council on Foreign Relations], and in a book titled Philip Dru, House said that his goal was for "socialism as dreamed of by Karl Marx." The book "described a 'conspiracy' to capture both political parties and use them to create a socialist world government. The plan included electing a president by using 'deception regarding his real opinions and intentions.' Written in 1912, the book called for a graduated income tax and establishing a state-controlled central bank. These laws were passed in 1913, and many other goals outlined in the book also became reality. House called for a one-world government, one-world army, and one-world economy ruled by an Anglo-Saxon financial oligarchy ...."

Box 15068, San Rafael, CA 94915] http://www.trufax.org/guidebook/house.html The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of 'liberalism', they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened. --- Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Presidential candidate Folks, I hope you find this of some Value.
