…our civil liberties. The corporate state has used 9/11 in the same way the Nazi Party used the Reichstag Fire as a justification to strip away all of our most important Constitutional rights. Whether that is the right or the need of a court to issue a warrant before surveillance. Whether that is the right of a whistleblower to expose government crimes, including torture. We just saw the CIA official, Kiriakou, go to prison for 30 months. What he, purportedly, leaked to The New York Times, were war crimes.

And the interpretation of the Authorization to Use Military Force Act (AUMF) is giving the government the right, this is what this ‘White Paper’, that was leaked to NBC News was about giving the right to the Executive Branch to draw up kill lists, even if US citizens are on those kill lists.

So, this is a steady march forward, in terms of stripping away our most basic civil liberties. I would say the NDAA, this case, is the last in line of defence between what’s left of our anemic democracy and our transformation into a military state.

…to indefinitely detain U.S. citizens is back in federal court this week. On Wednesday, a group of academics, journalists, and activists will present oral arguments in court against a provision in the National Defense Authorization Act, or NDAA, authorizing the military to jail anyone it considers a terrorism suspect anywhere in the world without charge or trial.

I felt pride as an American. I thought, this is the American citizen that I fought for as a marine. This is a constitutional order, a rule of law, a judge, appointed by Obama, who’s willing to say that her boss was mistaken in claiming that this rule is compatible with our rule of law.
Well, as a law, it’s unprecedented, but as a practice what we’ve seen for the last 10 years is a systematic assault on the Constitution of the United States in every aspect in the aspects of the illegal surveillance, the warrantless surveillance, which was conducted against me 40 years ago by President Nixon and then led to his impeachment proceedings, but is now regarded as legal. That’s the way the law has changed. Efforts to assault me or kill me on the steps of the Capitol on May 3rd, 1972, a presidential hit squad of the kind that the president now takes pride in proclaiming that he runs all over the world.

On December 31st 2011, US President Barack Obama signed into law the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 (NDAA). The Act was passed in the House of Representatives on May 26, 2011 by a vote of 322 to 96. The Act was passed in the Senate on December 15, 2011 by a vote of 86 to 13. Coming up is an excerpt from the Act, the wording of which makes it legal to incarcerate United States citizens without recourse to any form of judicial process. Essentially these words say that if the government deems any person to have committed a “belligerent act” that person can be detained indefinitely without trial. For the purposes of defining what a “belligerent act” is. with respect to a US citizen, how does the government differentiate between an act of war against the United States vs a lawful protest against the government? Prior to this act, such a distinction would have to be decided in a court of law by a jury of a citizen’s peers. With the signing of the NDAA, the government is claiming the right to decide this unilaterally, without any judicial proceedings and no legal representation afforded to the accused.

Can the US Government now proclaim that the constitutionally protected act of protest against the government is a “belligerent act” and legally lock up those who participate in such a protest?

The provisions of the NDAA are blatantly unconstitutional. The Fourth Amendment to the Constitution prohibits warrantless seizures of the person or property of US citizens. The Fifth Amendment Prohibits the depriving of US citizens of “life, liberty, or property without due process of law.” The Sixth Amendment includes the right to a “speedy and public trial by an impartial jury.”

These are the most basic, most essential protections of human liberty upon which the United States was founded. It would be no exaggeration to claim that the primary purpose of those who founded the United States was the creation of a nation where exactly these protections were guaranteed to all citizens. And with the signing of the NDAA, the present government of the United States has claimed the legal right to kill these constitutional protections.

“President Obama’s action today is a blight on his legacy because he will forever be known as the president who signed indefinite detention without charge or trial into law,” said Anthony D. Romero, ACLU executive director. “The statute is particularly dangerous because it has no temporal or geographic limitations, and can be used by this and future presidents to militarily detain people captured far from any battlefield.

“There are laws on the books now that characterize who might be a terrorist: someone missing fingers on their hands is a suspect according to the department of justice. Someone who has guns, someone who has ammunition that is weatherproofed, someone who has more than seven days of food in their house can be considered a potential terrorist. If you are suspected because of these activities, do you want the government to have the ability to send you to Guantánamo Bay for indefinite detention?” – Rand Paul

Senator Lindsey Graham, who supports this bill, says quote “the Homeland is part of the battlefield and people can be held without trial whether an American citizen or not.”

I must tell you I was utterly appalled when I saw this legislation proposed. We didn’t learn about it until last night, because the committee hearings on it were done in secret, even though the Constitution requires that Congress do these things in public. And there were no actual hearings. Just a bunch of members of the Senate who got together and wrote this thing. And it basically says the President can arrest whoever he wants anywhere in the United States of America and keep them without charging them with a crime, without letting them see a lawyer, without bringing them to a judge for as long as he wants. How is that consistent with the Constitution?

Whenever you suspend due process, which in effect suspends the rule of law, you walk down a very dangerous path and you give authority to your government that it can then wield essentially without restraint. What worries me is it will end up creating categories of people who are then subject to arbitrary arrests. And that’s dangerous because we don’t know how those categories will be defined or interpreted in the future. All in all it’s a disaster and it’s something that should should be defeated.

Suppose the President decided one of his political opponents was an enemy of the state. He could make that person disappear. Sounds fanciful? Sounds crazy? But it’s true.

If you ask a politician assigned to security matters today what he or she thinks about the surveillance techniques used to prevent crime, there’s a good chance that you’d be told about the benefits of closed circuit camera systems. You’d here convincing arguments about the additional safety in their vicinity because they act as a crime deterrent, Or you might here about the virtue of being able to track terrorists, by filing information about airline passengers, or by enforcing the use of biometric passports. Maybe you’d find out how trusted computing protects you from malicious software and viruses. Or how scanning emails and eavesdropping on phone calls helps the police find potential criminals of all kinds. It would probably all sound great, because the idea is that you should start thinking of these techniques as being the cream of the crop. But let’s face the not quite so obvious but nevertheless omnipresent downside of this. While public cameras may actually help these defined criminals, modern CCTV systems like the ones used in London, are even today able to lock onto any person the operators wish to track using automatic facial identification, thus enabling the police to create a detailed database of say all of your movements. The keeping of records about airline passengers flying to the U.S. and in addition the obligation for everyone to submit biometric passports, are supposed to help fight terrorism. But this also allows the secret services to gather explicit information about the nationality of every traveler. Explicit information such as your fingerprints, the color of your eyes, and a high resolution picture of your face. Information you would usually expect to be taken from suspected criminals.

Trusted computing promises to enhance security on your PC, by only allowing certain trustworthy software to run on your machine. What you’re not told is that the person who decides which software you can trust, and are therefore allowed to install on your PC, will certainly not be you. On the one hand, scanning emails and wiretapping emails for ominous keywords, could convict a few small time criminals, but on the other it allows all sorts of people involved in this monitoring process to retrieve all sorts of private information. Information you just might not want to share with the staff of your local police station.

These symptoms can all be taken as evidence of the slow but steady conversion of our western societies into police states. Our western societies, claiming to be liberal democracies, but our leaders try to enforce more and more pressive laws and instrumentalize public fear of terror to justify them.

Stop the big brother state.

The country that created EYEphones, has more than 300 million wireless users. And in the name of national security the U.S. Government will soon have a direct link to each and every hand held device.

Gathered at the scene of the September 11 terrorist attacks, federal and New York City officials joined the CEOs of the 4 largest wireless carriers, to announce the nations new tech tool. An alert system, enabling the president and government agencies to blast every American with text messages warning of terrorist threats, weather disasters, and kidnappings.

Now we have a system of mandatory and inescapable alerts through every cell phone in the land, in the event that the government decides something’s happening that we ought to know about. Now, just as the introduction of the Patriot Act came right after 9/11, so this new kind of technological invasion comes to us without any public discussion, right after the assassination of Osama Bin Laden. The use of fear for any kind of government that craves more control over peoples lives and thoughts, is that it makes people malleable; it makes them obedient. I mean you go to any airport today and you can see this in action, that people are meekly taking off their shoes, submitting to getting groped…

In December, the Department of Homeland Security began encouraging Americans to report suspicious activity to the country’s largest food retailer. Wal-Mart’s partnership with Washington has been accused of perpetrating a climate of panic, and subsequent need for more surveillance

Following the assassination of enemy #1, an American lawmaker called for increase in rail safety funding , and the creation of a no-ride list. As U.S. officials warn of more terror threats following Bin Laden’s death, many Americans remain concerned, while others are left wondering about the dangers of forsaking too much liberty for security.

Hello initiates and welcome to module one of the Illumicorp video training course. I would like to officially welcome you as a member of the team. You’ve joined our organization at perhaps the most exciting point in our long history. Our founders shared a passionate dream. To transform this country, and eventually the whole, world to one cohesive organization. When Illumicorp finishes gaining centralized control over the resources of the planet, and we will, we can then organize, distribute, and govern to the benefit of all. After competition and decent are eliminated, we’ll build a utopia for the world to share, based on need, and rejoice together in a harmonious new world.

This presentation is designed to enlightened you about our organization’s goals and achievements. As your guard, I will help to answer some basic questions you may have about Illumicorp, and familiarize you with the valuable role will play in helping us reach our prime objective. So please take a tour with me as we march together towards an exciting new world.

All people are aware of class. To them society is made up of the rich, the middle and the poor. The one thing that all three classes don’t understand is that the pyramid continues upward. There is a detached hidden capstone made up of an elite board of directors who own and manage Illumicorp. The three classes below, in essence, become the assets and resources of Illumicorp. Illumicorp is divided into various administrative branches. But each branch has the same five levels in their hierarchy. You will begin at the bottom in the initiate category. As such, you role will be to make sure that your orders are carried out through the sub corporations and institutions controlled by Illumicorp.

You will be placed in plain sight at the head of a company or institution in the public sector to carry out the plans delivered from above. Remember, your role is very important. You’ll be the face of Illumicorp to the outside world. You are our connection to the masses below. Never speak publicly about your orders or your masters.

Now let’s look at Illumicorp six administrative branches and their functions. You’ll be placed in a top position of power among one of the following sectors. In this way, as you are monitored and guided from above, you will decide strategy and introduce programs to further our goals. For that is the secret to Illumicorp success. Control the head, and you control the body.

I. BANKING & BUSINESS
This is potentially Illumicorps most effective instrument for global control. Through international banking, we manipulate the face of all countries. We’ve introduced many institutions such as the IMF and WTO to work in our favor to impoverish disobedient nations. Always remember, debt is a powerful weapon against countries that don’t share Illumicorps vision.

Perhaps our greatest achievement in banking is the Federal Reserve system. It is a collection of international banks owned by Illumicorp members and financiers. It was created to form a centralized banking system through the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. An act that was indeed penned by some of our most esteemed members.

Many of you might still assume that the government itself prints and issues the currency. That is not the case. When America needs money they go to our boys and ask for it. The money is printed, but it is only representative of a loan. Interest accrues on that dollar until it is paid back to the Fed. In fact the federal taxes paid by the American population go almost entirely to paying off this debt. So you see, Illumicorp derives a healthy amount of its operation funding directly from the debt of the public. Needless to say, this is one of our most crucial sources of funding and one of our proudest achievements here at Illumicorp.

Through mergers and acquisitions, we have slowly and silently bought up the majority of U.S. industry. Illumicorp and its members own most of the oil, transport, banking, media, food and communications industries in America and abroad. Through fewer and fewer conglomerates we are able to affect with great precision the machinations of labor and government. Ultimately, corporations will replace government as a centralized international body that can meet the needs of the public worldwide, without the chaos created by national self interest. When Illumicorp goes public, corporatism will be the foundation for world government. Conglomerates were merge into one cohesive corporation that is responsible only to Illumicorp and the needs of its global employment force.

II. MILITARY & INTELLIGENCE

Illumicorp control of the American military is another impressive tool in our possession. We have nurtured these institutions lavishly to serve as the prototype for our global police force. When ready, our technology and man power will dominate those who oppose the coming New World Order. By utilizing American patriotism we have fostered in the American soldier the philosophy of peace through superior force. When the time is right, we will migrate that mentality towards the belief in a global government, who must protect all people through superior force.

We have used the American military industrial complex to build the arsenal necessary to instigate the final cleansing, outlined in Illumicorp great plan. Our primary target will be Islamic nations who will never submit to our western centric domination. They also hold much of the remaining oil reserves of the planet. Illumicorp must own that precious recourse as it is crucial in maintaining our domination over the countries of the world.

Through Illumicorp enormous funding of the military, we can develop new forms of warfare and population reduction. The public can’t imagine what we’re in the process of developing. Soon, even the weather will be a weapon under our control. We will be able to create droughts, floods, hurricanes, and even tsunamis, with no fingerprints attached.

III. POLITICS

The political system of America has been under direct control of Illumicorp for some time. It was actually a relatively easy acquisition, and has been even easier to manage. Politicians know of our unspoken agreement, and will do anything to stay in power.

A two party system benefits Illimicorp, in that is reduces all issues into a black and white debate. Through media we can play side against side, using each when necessary to support our goals. Due to a diminishing faith in the system among the public, Illumicorp has designed a rogue candidate program to provide a voice for the dispossessed. This disperses the impetus for dissent among those who do not feel represented by our candidates and builds a database of potential dissidents.

IV, EDUCATION

At the turn of the last century, Illumicorp took a serious interest in public education. Our supreme council realized that by creating a private organization to dictate curriculum on a federal level, children could be conditioned into obedience on a mass scale. In the interest of promoting Illumicorp principles in the classroom, hundreds of millions of dollars were invested to create the General Education Board in 1902. The result of doing this is evident today. The doctrines of public education have transformed recent generations into a weaker, more docile mass. Through meticulously planned curriculum, we have control over the process by which the average child learns, thus we can mold them into obedient workers who are conditioned to accept the implementation of the great plan.

In addition, Illumicorp has set up many associations, including the American Historical Association, that determine and uphold the official view of history. Knowledge is power, so we must at all costs be the authors of the truth. By writing history to suit our interests, dissenting voices cannot gain ground and we can vastly influence culture to achieve our prime objective.

V. MEDIA

Illumicorp uses the media to shape public opinion on current events and condition desired attitudes about our future agenda. Through news, entertainment, and advertising we can program a variety of emotions and responses into the collective unconscious. In the past, we were limited entirely to print media. But bow we have multiple mediums to utilize in programming and conditioning the masses. With cable news, we have directed the public to a more entertainment based consumption of world events. Infotainment. This medium is far more effective at subliminal reinforcement of desired attitudes towards our objectives. For instance, we are currently instilling a sense of duty towards environmental issues.

With our growing control of the weather through HAARP and chemtrails, we will scare the public into accepting our global protection agendas. We will then phase into the great cleansing which must occur, to return the population to a manageable size. We reinforce the desired norm through advertising, creating a model for people to look up to that is virtually impossible. The result is an incomplete desperate individual seeking acceptance. Through reality television game shows, we repeat the pattern of individual survival verses group survival. This breaks down the idea of community breeds individuals who seek only their self interest, with a public that is constantly suspicious and scheming we maintain the status quo of a divided population that never thinks to look up.

VI. RELIGION

Religion has served its purpose incredibly well. It is oldest and perhaps the broadest form of social control utilized by Illumicorp. With religion, there is a written code of conduct that must be followed. The authors of the holy scriptures know quite well how to lace that code with demands, to maintain their dominance over the population. This system has survived for millenia, to hold the flock together and bring us to today.

Admittedly, religion is losing its power of control. However, the fanaticism that has arisen due to this decline is particularly helpful to Illumicorp. Our invisible influence in the church has helped bring the Christian fundamentalists out of the background. We help control their opinions on current issues through policies designed right here at Illumicorp headquarters. They are sent to our ministers who then preach the word of god, and their interpretations of the Bible to their followers. Their blind faith is used to transform them into willing soldiers, to defend our cause during the catastrophes ahead.

As the final phase is enacted, we will propagate end time prophecy to convince them of their convictions.

The rise of Islamic fundamentalism works to Illumicorp advantage as a threat that will demand violent action. In the coming years, planned terrorist attacks will warrant a full scale retaliation and initiate the final phase of the great plan. Christians will support our actions, since they will believe them to be proof of the end times, prophesied by Illumicorp religious leaders.

A word from our PRESIDENT
We are in the last days of darkness. Together in secret, we wait to begin the final phase of the great plan. The sun is rising, and it will beam a glorious dawn upon our new world. As an employee of Illumicorp, you are above the limitations of nationality, class and religion. You are a member of the Illumined now. Your loyalty and your devotion belong only with us. Help us finish the plan. Together, we will proudly initiate the New World Order.

Now that you have a basic understanding of how we work over here at Illumicorp, I would like to introduce to you one of our latest projects. THE CONTROL GRID
Since ancient times, it has been the desire of the illumined to wield control over the masses below, both to protect us from them and them from themselves. The tools through the ages have been effective, but always are blunt and inaccurate. But now, with the release of new technology to the masses, we have the real ability to introduce a control grid with finance, industry, governments and military under our strict control, who can safely shift the population into a new world, monitored and controlled, by Illumicorp.

Technology such as the internet, GPS, and RFID chips are pillars of the invisible prison we are erecting around the people. Within the decade, we will have real ID cards that contain criminal records and pertinent information all linked to federal databases. Cell phones will tell us where each individual is linked to the same database. Through intelligence agencies and Homeland Security, we’ll monitor individuals who oppose the great plan and remove them from the grid. Quickly the population will learn that they have a choice; support the system and benefit from its luxuries or reject it and lose access to the grid.

Well, that was quite an overview. I hope it gave you an understanding of our process and basic overall structure here at Illumicorp. Don’t worry if you can’t remember specific details at the moment. Once assigned to your administrative branch, you’ll be shown the second Illumicorp training module. Your initiate supervisor will brief you on your specific duties at that point.

Also, please review your copy of the great plan and the attached codeword and symbols booklet. You will need to know the ways we communicate internally through public channels. This concludes part one of the Illumicorp video training module. I wish you the best of luck, and may our plan complete and supersede. The dawn of a new era is on the horizon and it will shine gloriously over the new world that we have built together.

Banking with a federally insured bank means you’re now being monitored under the Patriot Act.

…then risk assess all of our customers as to whether the likelihood that they could be involved in terrorist financing, money laundering…
…then we have to monitor everybody’s accounts to make sure that they stay within the bounds of what was determined should be their normal activity.
…any cash intensive business, restaurants, convenient stores, gas stations, doctors lawyers accountants… if they step out of the bounds of what was determined to be normal then we have to see if we can figure out why. If we can’t determine the reason for the stepping out of bounds then we’re required to file a suspicious activity report. The federal government looks at us to make sure that we are monitoring everybody’s activities…

So you’ve got an artificial system which conned people to use money. And then of course they could create their cities, hire people for standing armies – you can’t get a bunch of guys together to go and conquer anybody if you don’t have some means of keeping them there, something as reward. They’ll just go home eventually and get bored and fed up. So money was always the key to this civilization – building process. This, building of cities, empires, society itself, and the Freemasons like Albert Pike and McHai and a whole bunch of other ones are always extolling their own virtues of being able to build society, build culture…

So we have an elite who have used war, money, cities, culture creation, religion, and all the things coming in to the culture – festivals, generally is based on lunar and solar and stellar mythologies to keep the people in check to keep them happy dumbed-down stupid, and obedient more than anything else – obedience is so important.

And of course the sun god was used down through the ages up until the present day as a reincarnated sun god, you see. It’s the same ole thing we’ve hashed over and over where an invisible god, the grand architect of the universe as the masons call him, always chooses and SON, his own son, to push life into the world. Because they claim that we the profane are dead, you see. In a sense they’re right there, because if you don’t know reality you are dead. Because living as a human means you are a sentient, aware, fully conscious being. You’ll find in all religions they’ll have the same terminology…

Which is the big con today. Everybody is rushing around in their cars as fast as we can go, and they think they’re living because they keep moving. And they don’t do shopping lists anymore – they’ve just got to keep moving and have noise blaring all the time and music playing or something you see, because they are scared to think.

Peace is not peace as you know it. Peace comes when there’s absence of consciousness and opposition to this agenda. That’s what they mean by peace. And peace comes when there’s not enough of you to cause a trouble and those that are left don’t have a functioning brain to use. That’s peace. And hence the rush towards chips and chipping the brain and implants and stuff like that and a totally controlled society. They want peace. They don’t want to give us all this media nonsense, this constant propaganda that keeps us running in circles and chewing the grass like good little sheep.

It takes away from their profits because they want pure profits yous see they want 100% profits from us. And they’ve got to allow us to entertain ourselves to keep us obedient and grazing – and sports and circuses and all of that kind of thing and buying toys, junk from China, as rewards, little Pavlovian rewards at the end of the month, you know. That’s all taking from their ultimate profit and that upsets them because it’s not efficient enough. And the system that’s coming into being they want utter efficiency where a person will not be born unless they have work for you to do.

And we’ve gone through a horror show down through the ages of watching people being oppressed, doing what they do naturally which is to resist, so you have force. And for every force there is an equal and opposite reaction. And of course then they control the conflict, the conclusion the synthesis of it all and before you know it we’ll just move into where they want us to go. We are the sheep they are the good shepherds. Good shepherds pat the sheep. They know them by name. The sheep come up to them and like them, because the sheep don’t know what they’re there for. They think that they are there to be happy. They don’t know, they don’t even ask, why does this shepherd spend so much time taking care of us and talking to us? It’s because the sheep don’t know what they’re there for. They don’t know their function is to feed the shepherd, make a profit, then take the wool and replace them. That’s a good shepherd. A bad shepherd sharpens their knives in front of the sheep and slaughters one, the rest of them are terrified. They run off when they see them. So, the good shepherd wears a suit and tie and says I promise to help you – in whatever category you put yourself into, whichever ready made pigeon hole you put yourself into – I’m left wing, I’m right wing, I’m up, I’m down.. whatever. it’s their system and they lead you where they want you to go.

New information about the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, or ACTA, has leaked confirming theories that the U.S. is indeed pushing to radically alter our access, usage, and privacy on the internet. One major concern is that internet service providers or ISPs would be liable for any copyrighted material that’s transmitted or stored on their networks. As a result ISPs will need to implement invasive monitoring procedures which would require massive investments in hardware, software, technical and legal staff as well as a host of other issues that make it at its best an unrealistic and incredibly problematic requirement. and at its worst a huge threat to our internet freedom.
