G. Edward Griffin on 2-Party U.S. Politics

Posted on Jun 1st, 2008 by Little Big O : Luminous Mischieviousness Little Big O
Dear Friends,

    I spent Friday and Saturday at my Congressional District and State Republican Conventions working to get Ron Paul supporters to the Republican National Convention to send a voice of dissent to the politics-as-usual of John McCain who joins Obama and Hillary as promoters of more fascism, more war, more bankruptcy and further denial of the fundamental issues facing individuals in this country taken over by Republicrat thugs. 

    What I witnessed in the midst of all this was, quite literally, nauseating, as well as profoundly inspiring.  If you're the sort of person who believes that HUMAN BEINGS ARE THEIR OWN PROPERTY AND NOT THE PROPERTY OF OTHER HUMAN BEINGS, if you've educated yourself about deep politics, economics, monetary policy, government-orchestrated terror, and the brilliance that resides deeply within free individuals, I encourage you to go to www.meetup.com and find your local band of Ron Paul supporters.  I have NEVER been around such Fun, Intelligent, Educated and Merry People! 

    That was the blessing from this weekend.  The rest was, well..., all too expected - after all this is the party that put Bush in power (unelected) twice.  And just to be clear, the Democrats are just as lame:  those are the whores that got elected to overwhelming majority to the House and Senate and the first thing they did was put impeachment or reversing the Patriot Act off the Table.  On the contrary, they've approved further encroachment on our sovereign rights as INDIVIDUALS. 

    But that's to be expected.  Here's a brilliant little excerpt from an essay by G. Edward Griffin. 

"THE QUIGLEY FORMULA
The CFR embraces members of both major American political parties. It is not a
partisan organization. Voters are led to believe that, by choosing between the Democrat and
Republican parties, they have a choice. They think they are participating in their own
political destiny, but that is an illusion. To a collectivist like Professor Quigley, it is a
necessary illusion to prevent the voters from meddling into the important affairs of state. If
you have ever wondered why the two American parties appear so different at election time
but so similar afterward, listen carefully to Quigley’s approving overview of American
politics:
The National parties and their presidential candidates, with the Eastern
Establishment assiduously fostering the process behind the scenes, moved closer
together and nearly met in the center with almost identical candidates and platforms,
although the process was concealed as much as possible, by the revival of
obsolescent or meaningless war cries and slogans (often going back to the Civil
War). … The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and
policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea
acceptable only to the doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties
should be almost identical, so that the American people can “throw the rascals out” at
any election without leading to any profound or extreme shifts in policy. … Either
party in office becomes in time corrupt, tired, unenterprising, and vigorless. Then it
should be possible to replace it, every four years if necessary, by the other party,
which will be none of these things but will still pursue, with new vigor,
approximately the same basic policies.1
What are those basic policies? They are anything that advances the network’s longrange
goal. Quigley says that candidates and parties can and should differ on many things so
long as they mutually advance world government based on the model of collectivism. While

campaigning, they should appear to be fierce opponents; but when the elections are over,
they must work in harmony for the main objective. Everything else is showmanship. Let us
examine a few examples.
In the Carter Administration, the U.S. electorate was overwhelmingly opposed to
giving away the Panama Canal, yet the leadership of both parties voted to do so, led on both
sides of the isle by members of the CFR.
Republicans call for war in the Middle East and advocate that we give more power to
the UN. Democrats call for peace and advocate that we give more power to the UN. The
voters don’t want that, but it is a goal of CFR. Neither party objects to the fact that a UN
resolution was the legal basis for war rather than the U.S. Constitution.
Republicans promote legislation to restrict personal rights in the name of antiterrorism.
Democrats give speeches of concern and then vote for those laws. The voters
don’t want that, but it is the goal of the CFR. The legislation was written by members of the
CFR even before 9/11.
Republicans give speeches about the danger of illegal immigration. Democrats give
speeches about compassion to immigrants. Both parties unite in merging the U.S. with
Mexico and Canada so that national borders soon will be meaningless. The voters don’t
want that, but it is the goal of CFR.
Republican leaders steal elections with rigged voting machines. Democrat leaders
accept their fate with no serious challenge. That’s because rigging elections by preprogrammed
voting machines is merely the latest and perhaps ultimate implementation of
the Quigley Formula. It’s the end of the line for honest elections and representative
government.
The leaders of both political parties are like TV wrestlers. They put on a great show
in the ring. They slam each other onto the mat. They jump on each other, pummel each other
with apparently bone-breaking blows. They throw each other out of the ring; but it is not a
real contest. They have agreed in advance who is going to win, and they are content to wait
their turn to be the winner next time. They are professionals, and it’s good for their business.
Likewise, politicians today are professionals. They also know what is good for their
business, and they play the game well. Meanwhile, voters are like tennis balls, smashed
back and forth across the net of politics. The tennis players win half the time, but the tennis
ball never wins. And so the game goes on, as our nation and freedom fade into history.
CONTROLLED OPPOSITION
This game would not be convincing without the media pied pipers who serve the two
major parties. These celebrity-status commentators and organizations offer themselves as
unbiased observers with no political ambitions of their own; but, in reality, they are highly
partisan propagandists. No matter what grave issue is up for discussion, their analysis will
skew it as a reason to vote Republican or Democrat, depending on their bias. Here are a few
examples.

Talk-show host, Rush Limbaugh, does a great job of exposing and ridiculing corrupt
Democrats and their policies, but he never met a Republican he didn’t like. He’s all for the
United Nations and never mentions the CFR.

Film producer, Michael Moore, does a great job of exposing and ridiculing corrupt
Republicans and their policies, but he never met a Democrat he didn’t like. He’s all for the
United Nations and never mentions the CFR.

The organization called Accuracy in Media does a great job of exposing deceit and
treachery within the ranks of Democrats, but it finds little to criticize in the Republican
camp and never mentions the CFR.

The organization called Move-On does a great job of exposing deceit and treachery
within the ranks of Republicans, but it finds little to criticize in the Democrat camp and
never mentions the CFR.

The Internet news and commentary service, Human Events Online, calls itself a
“conservative” weekly; but it is an obedient supporter of the Republican Party even when
it’s policies are the opposite of traditional conservatism. It never mentions the CFR.

The editors of the Internet news service, Unknown News, say they are disgusted with
both parties because they do not offer serious solutions to the problems they mutually have
created. Hooray! But, in their commentary, they routinely identify corrupt Republicans by
party label (implying they are scumbags because they are Republicans). They usually omit
the party label when reporting on corrupt Democrats. If they do include it, they often
accompany it by saying: “Even the Democrats” were involved with this or failed to oppose
that. The clear message is that they expect more from the Democrats. Unknown News
reports the deeds of such corrupt world leaders, as Putin, Castro, and Chavez in sympathetic
or admiring tones. We are never reminded of their failures or crimes. Domestic leaders who
are Marxist/Leninists also receive favorable coverage, which reveals that the affinity of its
editors is with Leninism. Collectivism is their solution-of-choice for every problem. They
are disgusted with both political parties, not because they have led us deeper into
collectivism, but because they are not aligned with Leninism. The Democrats are more so,
in the sense that most U.S. based Leninists are within the Democrat Party and have a strong
voice there, which explains the more gentle treatment the Democrats receive from Unknown
News. It never mentions the CFR."   G. Edward Griffin

Don't Talk to Police!

Posted on Jun 6th, 2008 by Little Big O : Luminous Mischieviousness Little Big O
This is a brilliant 27 min. introduction to the Fifth Amendment under the Bill of Rights to the U.S. Constitution and why you should NEVER talk to police.  But this is not only relevant to U.S. Law, it is relevant to relating to people who professionally engage in theft, extortion and murder under the fiction of "legalized immunity" anywhere in the world. The Fifth Amendment reads:

"No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.[1]"

Walking through Paradise

Wow!  What an evening.  I hit the trail alone at 6 p.m., going to one of my favorite spots here on the Front Range, a place where very few people go, where the trail is narrow and leads up to valleys full of the most incredible display of wildflowers that I have ever seen on the Front Range.  Somehow, Spring continues with days of cool, even snow up in the mountains.
