While the precise details of how the Rothschilds work behind the scenes are, in the main, matters of conjecture and circumstantial evidence, and are thus rarely documented exactly, much of what Makow says is in accordance with my position exactly.
Of course, it is not true that "the Zionists" took over American government.
It is true that the Rothschilds, one of the guises of whom, and one of the operatives of whom, are the Zionists, is in control of world government. They seized that control long before the time of Theodore Herzl.
Neither do I credit them with calling them "Illuminati". That is their soi-disant self-aggrandizing designation.
I call them what Alex Jones calls them - scum.

"The Worst Anti-Semites Are Zionists
by HENRY MAKOW
(Nov 28, 2007) The worst anti-Semites are Zionists who create anti-Semitism and use it to dupe and coerce Jews into advancing the Illuminati bankers' plan for world government dictatorship.
In the past, I have argued that Zionism is a protection racket and conspiracy against Jews. Today, I will suggest they have suppressed normal Jewish cultural/spiritual expression and hijacked the Jewish people to serve their perverted cause.
Before Zionists took over the US government, they took over the American Jewish community and made it their instrument.Henry Hurwitz's "Menorah Journal" and Menorah Societies were an attempt by American Jewry to see itself culturally and spiritually as an end in itself, rather than a means to serve and support the "Jewish homeland." Zionists suppressed this free and democratic group, in the same way as they are depriving all Americans of their political and cultural freedom.
THE MENORAH SOCIETY
Henry Hurwitz started the first Menorah Society at Harvard University in 1906 and "The Menorah Journal" in 1915. The Menorah movement stood "for the study and advancement of Jewish culture and ideals in America." By the end of the First World War, the movement had expanded to include the Intercollegiate Menorah Association, Summer School, Education Conference and Board of Lecturers.Essentially the movement fostered non-dogmatic non-political study of Jewish history, spirit and culture. It was open to different points of view and initially received support from the central bankers. But when Hurwitz insisted that Judaism had nothing to do with Zionism, and Jews ought to feel perfectly at home in America, the bankers froze the Menorah movement's charitable funding.
In 1958, Hurwitz wrote a friend, "We have had more than one coy proposal from this and that wealthy organization to take us over. Our financial problems would then be 'solved.'And our freedom--that is, our true life--dissolved." (Menuhin, The Decadence of Judaism in Our Time, 1965. p.366)In the Autumn-Winter 1959 issue of the "Menorah Journal," Hurwitz describes the effect of "bigotry" i.e. Zionist banker control of organized Jewry."This bigotry strikes beyond one old established independent organization and its magazine, which have perhaps rendered some service to Judaism through more than half a century. This bigotry poisons the air of Jewish communal life in America. It tries to suppress...the basic American principles of free speech and free press. It penalizes honest analysis [of those] who control the Jewish public tax-exempt philanthropic funds, and hence have the power to enrich favorite organizations, while starving others that do not bend the knees...Thus, they actually hinder here a rational long-view consideration of the best interests of the people of Israel themselves." Moreover, as is well known, a very large proportion of the supposedly voluntary philanthropic donations are extracted from business and professional men on threats of punitive economic and social sanctions. This must be described as what it is--a species of terrorism. Such terrorism has become a most effective technique in large Jewish fund raising." (Menuhin, p. 367)Unfortunately the Menorah movement died with its founder in 1961. Its work was partly continued by the American Council for Judaism , under its dynamic founder Rabbi Elmer Berger (1908-1996.) In 1965, Moshe Menuhin characterized American Jewish life in the following terms:"Today in America, Jewish culture and even Jewish religion has degenerated into 'Jewish' nationalism, and Jewish philanthropists, Jewish schools, Jewish segregated services, have been all subverted (with a few noble exceptions) into serving...the up building of the 'Jewish homeland'...(468)(A measure of this: Moshe Menuhin had to self-publish his book.)
CONSEQUENCES
My guess is that American Jewry is about evenly divided : half is alienated from all things Jewish; half is under the control of organized Jewry, i.e. the central banking cartel. This cartel, synonymous with the name Rothschild, is behind all major wars and depressions of the past 300 years, behind Communism, Fascism and the Holocaust, behind 9-11 and the bogus war on terror. Nothing in this world happens without money and they control government credit.They need to enslave us to protect this world monopoly. Their goal is to remake mankind into a slave race by destroying the basis of our humanity: nationhood, religion (God), race and family.This enemy sits at the heart of our political, financial and cultural life. It has co-opted all groups in the same way as it has co-opted Jews. However, organized Jewry is leading the assault on our freedom. The Masonic B'nai Brith is behind the "hate speech" legislation and Bill S 1959 which would treat their political opponents as if they were "anti-Semites" and "terrorists."The bankers are the real terrorists. They organized 9-11 using the secret services and they are behind "Al Queda." They may be planning another world war starting with a conflagration between Israel and Iran.They are also the real anti-Semites. They have sacrificed Jews to their agenda before (Communism, Nazism, Zionism) and will do so again. All Jews will be blamed for the New World Order, even though half are indifferent, and the other half are willing dupes.While I was writing this article, I got an email from a reader who said he had just given a Jewish friend "Hell.""I don't know if this means anything but I'm tired of feeling powerless to all these bastards and if I can make them eat some of their own shit...good. I also told him that Jews aren't stupid and if we had quit giving money to Israel 30 yrs ago there may be peace over there. Well, it's done and a little "Fuck Me...Fuck YOU!!" ain't bad..I'm just a redneck at heart I guess."It's time that Jews realized that anti-Semitism is caused by the bankers' megalomanical agenda and is used to implicate and blame ordinary Jews. The bankers hate real Jews and real Judaism. They would never have created Israel if it were just a "Jewish homeland." It is their private fiefdom, army and nuclear arsenal, part of their agenda for world government and world war. Jews are just pawns in their game.It's time ordinary Jews stopped defending the bankers (which confirms everyone's worst suspicions.) It's time we took Henry Hurwitz's example, and stood shoulder-to- shoulder with our fellow Americans in the fight of our lives.

Excommunicate the Rothschilds
Having spent quite an amount of time researching the Rothschild family, my considered opinion is that the most important single thing that the Jewish People can do is to disavow and excommunicate the Rothschild family - and do it very publicly and very pointedly.
Compared to what they have done, and are doing, the Jews who have been excommunicated were saints.
Excommunication involves not so much as acknowledging their existence and not having any dealings with them whatsoever.
Let us reject their "presents", for they are naught but Trojan horses.
The more you research the Rothschilds and the more you see the damage that they have done and are doing to the Jewish People and their utter depravity, the clearer it will become why this is the singly most essential step that we can take - and it is something that only the Jewish People can do.
I guarantee that doing this will immediately gain the respect and the support of countless people all over the globe.
I cannot begin to express how much this will do for the reinstatement of the Jewish People in the eyes of the world as part of the Brotherhood of Man and how much this will do to advance world peace.
When you see for yourself what they are, you will understand why this is critical.
We must no longer cooperate with the destruction they are heaping upon the Jewish People and upon the world.
If we continue to cooperate with them, we will continue to die en masse at their hands in whatever anti-Semitic war they fancy to create and those of us who live will continue to be pariah and despicable in the eyes of the world.
Finally, look at this:

Hitler was a Rothschild!!
Source: http://www.reformation.org/adolf-hitler.html
"The third possibility is that Adolf Hitler's grandfather was Jewish. Rumours to that effect circulated in Munich cafes in the early 1920s, and were fostered by sensationalist journalism of the foreign press during the 1930s. It was suggested that the name `Huttler' was Jewish, `revealed' that he could be traced to a Jewish family called Hitler in Bucharest, and even claimed that his father had been sired by Baron Rothschild, in whose house in Vienna his grandmother had allegedly spent some time as a servant."
http://partners.nytimes.com/books/first/k/kershaw-hitler.html
"According to a book by a psychoanalyst, Walter Langer, called The Mind of Hitler, not only was Hitler supported by the Rothschilds, he WAS a Rothschild. This revelation fits like a glove with the actions of the Rothschilds and other Illuminati bloodlines in Germany who brought Hitler to the fore as dictator of that nation. He was also supported by the British Royal Family, the House of Windsor (in truth the German House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha), and these included the British royal "war hero", Lord Mountbatten, a Rothschild and a Satanist."

The Lubavitcher Rebbe - Phony as a $1
The Lubavitcher Rebbe handing out $1 bills to people always bothered me.
After seeing this video, it bothers me even more:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEenyyiQGGQ
Supposedly, he gave the $1 bills to people to encourage them to give tzeddakah (charity).
Are we to believe that those people never gave $1 worth of tzeddakah until he prompted them to?
And the only way that he could get them to give tzeddakah was by giving them $1 bills.
They wouldn't have done it at his request or as a result of him explaining the importance of tzeddakah. Of course not. He had to give them $1 bills to show them how to hand out a bill.
That wasn't very good education, because if they copied him like chimpanzees, as ChaBa"D Chassidim are wont to do, and gave out a $1 bill, just as he had given them, they would be back to where they started before he gave them the $1.
But we must assume they were taught to give out more than that by the Rebbe.
Certainly they wouldn't have given tzeddakah from their own desire to give tzeddakah, or as a result of reading the teachings of other Rabbis and their parents.
No, they had, absolutely had, to have a $1 bill handed to them in order to understand and do the mitzvah of tzeddakah. There simply is no other way to teach the mitzvah.
But wait, they didn't give those dollars that he gave them away. They kept them, because the Rebbe had given them to them and they wanted a holy memento from the Rebbe.
Trouble is, all those dollars have all-seeing eye in the pyramid emblazoned on them, which are ancient symbols of avodah zara – idol worhship.
And, if you describe a Jewish star around the pyramid on the dollar bill, the points point to the letters M A S O and, you guessed it, N, within the Latin expressions around the pyramid, including the one that says Novus Ordo Seclorum - New World Order.
Here is the symbol I am referring to:
http://www.geocities.com/endtimedeception/seal.htm
Notice that the name MASON only has five letters.
So, only five points on the Star of David can point to those letters.
A star with five points is a pentagram - a very Satanic symbol indeed.
And so, what happened is that the Rebbe insured by giving those $1 bills away that thousands of Jews would have a permanent symbol of the all-seeing eye in the pyramid with them at all times.
And let's not forget the "minhag" of pouring a drop of "the Rebbe's vodka" from a "farbrengin" into bottle after bottle of vodka to make it holy. L'Cha'im! L'Cha'im!
I wish to say unequivocally that the vast majority of the followers of ChaBa"D are completely innocent and trusted their Rebbe implicitly.
They were foolishly duped into a cult, but they did so innocently.
They were, and are, fools, but they are innocent.
From the very first time I read the Tanya I knew something was wrong with it, very wrong.
It is a sin to tell people they are spiritually relegated to be "beinoni'im".
No one has the right to put a lid on another's spiritual advancement or potential.
We must believe that everyone can be a Tzaddik. And we must project that belief to everyone.
Can there be a worse heresy than saying that a human being is Ein Sof b'guf – Ein Sof personified?
Can anyone deny that having pictures of him everywhere, including in synagogues, is not a Jewish practice?
I, for one, knew there was something wrong with the Rebbe cult from the beginning and during the one time I saw the Rebbe in person I felt bad energy emanating from him.
I knew that ChaBa"D is not kosher and, as is known, I left.
Judaism has been imbued with the worst of the worst avodah zarah.
Face this fact!
The Jewish people have been targeted in the worst way for Masonic mind muck.

Concentration Camps in the US – Now Official, Mainstream News
Many of us have been aware of the information that I'm going to provide for you on the following links for some time.
However, as it was only activists who were open to this information who were considering it and asking ourselves what to do about it; I did not disseminate it widely as I knew it would be rejected by the mainstream.
Well, former Congressman Daniel Hamburg made this information an issue for the mainstream recently. He is extremely brave for doing so and his contribution is invaluable.

Something very, very critical is transpiring in the US.
It is either the beginning of the beginning or the beginning of the end.
The Democrats have closed down the House in response to Bush trying to get the FISA bill extended and retroactive immunity for companies like AT&T and Verizon.
The background is to be found on this site:

Either Boehner and the Republicans used the discussion as an excuse to avoid voting on the extension of the FISA bill and immunity for companies spying...
Or...they used it as an excuse to do away with due process and have martial law declared...

Police State Total Enslavement
The video "Police State III" is packed with essential information.
For the time being, it doesn't matter *at all* that Jones is a Constitutionalist, not an Anarchist.
There are matters at hand so grave, so immediately threatening that we must band together with whoever is Humanist enough to understand the depth and import of what is transpiring.
The issue is, as Jones articulates it so very well: Total Enslavement.
When faced with total enslavement, we cannot afford to pick ideological nits.
He's a deeply concerned, deeply involved Human being who is providing essential information everyone needs to know about business and gov't gratis.
Only fools and the brainwashed would reject what he has to say because he's not of their specific political stripe and flavor.

"Endgame": The Information Every Anarchist Needs
"Endgame" is an extremely important video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25yhygUkecE&feature=related
Agents planted in the Anarchist movement are telling people that this is "conspiracy theory". No, it's not. It's business as usual. As you'll hear in the video, it is GW Bush (or Busche, as his family originally spelled their name) himself who refers to this information as "conspiracy theories".
I've been thrown off Anarchy list after Anarchy list for exposing this information. Agents in the Anarchist movement don't want you aware of this.
Most Anarchists aren't aware that they have been co-opted and recuperated. The assumption is that Anarchy is so radical that it can't possibly have been pre-empted. Wrong. Long ago, a diluted, capitalist-sanctioned "Anarchy" was crafted and most go along with that line. There are very few real radicals in the Anarchist movement today.
AnCap is nothing but sold-out Anarchy.
I invite you to become a true Anarchist.
The information in "Endgame" is crucial to understanding how critically important the anti-capitalist forms of Anarchy are if Humankind is to escape the plan already set into motion.
They use the lame excuse that Alex Jones isn't an Anarchist. So, disregard whatever he says.
Only the stupid, and those with vested interests, aren't grateful for information this vitally important from wherever it comes.
This information is an explanation of just how important anti-capitalist forms of Anarchy are. Why?

Some want to kill of at least 5/6 of the Earth's population and enslave the rest and the really freaky among them want to destroy the planet entirely for a very simple reason: it's the only thing they haven't experienced yet.

"Endgame" is an extremely important video.

Agents planted in the Anarchist movement are telling people that this is "conspiracy theory". No, it's not. It's business as usual. As you'll hear in the video, it is GW Bush (or Busche, as his family originally spelled their name) himself who refers to this information as "conspiracy theories".
I've been thrown off Anarchy list after Anarchy list for exposing this information. Agents in the Anarchist movement don't want you aware of this.
Most Anarchists aren't aware that they have been co-opted and recuperated. The assumption is that Anarchy is so radical that it can't possibly have been pre-empted. Wrong. Long ago, a diluted, capitalist-sanctioned "Anarchy" was crafted and most go along with that line. There are very few real radicals in the Anarchist movement today.
AnCap is nothing but sold-out Anarchy.
I invite you to become a true Anarchist.
The information in "Endgame" is crucial to understanding how critically important the anti-capitalist forms of Anarchy are if Humankind is to escape the plan already set into motion.
They use the lame excuse that Alex Jones isn't an Anarchist. So, disregard whatever he says.
Only the stupid, and those with vested interests, aren't grateful for information this vitally important from wherever it comes.
This information is an explanation of just how important anti-capitalist forms of Anarchy are. Why?
Because this is what *any* ultra-rich, ultra-powerful elite will eventually arrive at simply because it is human nature that as we attain more and more wealth and power, we become inured. The ability to feel is gradually reduced as every want and desire is fulfilled.
Some want to kill of at least 5/6 of the Earth's population and enslave the rest and the really freaky among them want to destroy the planet entirely for a very simple reason: it's the only thing they haven't experienced yet.

Exclusive! The FBI Deputizes Business
By Matthew Rothschild, February 7, 2008
Today, more than 23,000 representatives of private industry are working quietly with the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security. The members of this rapidly growing group, called InfraGard, receive secret warnings of terrorist threats before the public does—and, at least on one occasion, before elected officials. In return, they provide information to the government, which alarms the ACLU. But there may be more to it than that. One business executive, who showed me his InfraGard card, told me they have permission to “shoot to kill” in the event of martial law.InfraGard is “a child of the FBI,” says Michael Hershman, the chairman of the advisory board of the InfraGard National Members Alliance and CEO of the Fairfax Group, an international consulting firm.
InfraGard started in Cleveland back in 1996, when the private sector there cooperated with the FBI to investigate cyber threats.
“Then the FBI cloned it,” says Phyllis Schneck, chairman of the board of directors of the InfraGard National Members Alliance, and the prime mover behind the growth of InfraGard over the last several years.
InfraGard itself is still an FBI operation, with FBI agents in each state overseeing the local InfraGard chapters. (There are now eighty-six of them.) The alliance is a nonprofit organization of private sector InfraGard members.
“We are the owners, operators, and experts of our critical infrastructure, from the CEO of a large company in agriculture or high finance to the guy who turns the valve at the water utility,” says Schneck, who by day is the vice president of research integration at Secure Computing.
“At its most basic level, InfraGard is a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the private sector,” the InfraGard website states. “InfraGard chapters are geographically linked with FBI Field Office territories.”
In November 2001, InfraGard had around 1,700 members. As of late January, InfraGard had 23,682 members, according to its website, www.infragard.net, which adds that “350 of our nation’s Fortune 500 have a representative in InfraGard.”
To join, each person must be sponsored by “an existing InfraGard member, chapter, or partner organization.” The FBI then vets the applicant. On the application form, prospective members are asked which aspect of the critical infrastructure their organization deals with. These include: agriculture, banking and finance, the chemical industry, defense, energy, food, information and telecommunications, law enforcement, public health, and transportation.
FBI Director Robert Mueller addressed an InfraGard convention on August 9, 2005. At that time, the group had less than half as many members as it does today. “To date, there are more than 11,000 members of InfraGard,” he said. “From our perspective that amounts to 11,000 contacts . . . and 11,000 partners in our mission to protect America.” He added a little later, “Those of you in the private sector are the first line of defense.”
He urged InfraGard members to contact the FBI if they “note suspicious activity or an unusual event.” And he said they could sic the FBI on “disgruntled employees who will use knowledge gained on the job against their employers.”
In an interview with InfraGard after the conference, which is featured prominently on the InfraGard members’ website, Mueller says: “It’s a great program.”
The ACLU is not so sanguine.
“There is evidence that InfraGard may be closer to a corporate TIPS program, turning private-sector corporations—some of which may be in a position to observe the activities of millions of individual customers—into surrogate eyes and ears for the FBI,” the ACLU warned in its August 2004 report The Surveillance-Industrial Complex: How the American Government Is Conscripting Businesses and Individuals in the Construction of a Surveillance Society.
InfraGard is not readily accessible to the general public. Its communications with the FBI and Homeland Security are beyond the reach of the Freedom of Information Act under the “trade secrets” exemption, its website says. And any conversation with the public or the media is supposed to be carefully rehearsed.
“The interests of InfraGard must be protected whenever presented to non-InfraGard members,” the website states. “During interviews with members of the press, controlling the image of InfraGard being presented can be difficult. Proper preparation for the interview will minimize the risk of embarrassment. . . . The InfraGard leadership and the local FBI representative should review the submitted questions, agree on the predilection of the answers, and identify the appropriate interviewee. . . . Tailor answers to the expected audience. . . . Questions concerning sensitive information should be avoided.”
One of the advantages of InfraGard, according to its leading members, is that the FBI gives them a heads-up on a secure portal about any threatening information related to infrastructure disruption or terrorism.
The InfraGard website advertises this. In its list of benefits of joining InfraGard, it states: “Gain access to an FBI secure communication network complete with VPN encrypted website, webmail, listservs, message boards, and much more.”
InfraGard members receive “almost daily updates” on threats “emanating from both domestic sources and overseas,” Hershman says.
“We get very easy access to secure information that only goes to InfraGard members,” Schneck says. “People are happy to be in the know.”
On November 1, 2001, the FBI had information about a potential threat to the bridges of California. The alert went out to the InfraGard membership. Enron was notified, and so, too, was Barry Davis, who worked for Morgan Stanley. He notified his brother Gray, the governor of California.
“He said his brother talked to him before the FBI,” recalls Steve Maviglio, who was Davis’s press secretary at the time. “And the governor got a lot of grief for releasing the information. In his defense, he said, ‘I was on the phone with my brother, who is an investment banker. And if he knows, why shouldn’t the public know?’ ”
Maviglio still sounds perturbed about this: “You’d think an elected official would be the first to know, not the last.”
In return for being in the know, InfraGard members cooperate with the FBI and Homeland Security. “InfraGard members have contributed to about 100 FBI cases,” Schneck says. “What InfraGard brings you is reach into the regional and local communities. We are a 22,000-member vetted body of subject-matter experts that reaches across seventeen matrixes. All the different stovepipes can connect with InfraGard.”
Schneck is proud of the relationships the InfraGard Members Alliance has built with the FBI. “If you had to call 1-800-FBI, you probably wouldn’t bother,” she says. “But if you knew Joe from a local meeting you had with him over a donut, you might call them. Either to give or to get. We want everyone to have a little black book.”
This black book may come in handy in times of an emergency. “On the back of each membership card,” Schneck says, “we have all the numbers you’d need: for Homeland Security, for the FBI, for the cyber center. And by calling up as an InfraGard member, you will be listened to.” She also says that members would have an easier time obtaining a “special telecommunications card that will enable your call to go through when others will not.”
This special status concerns the ACLU.
“The FBI should not be creating a privileged class of Americans who get special treatment,” says Jay Stanley, public education director of the ACLU’s technology and liberty program. “There’s no ‘business class’ in law enforcement. If there’s information the FBI can share with 22,000 corporate bigwigs, why don’t they just share it with the public? That’s who their real ‘special relationship’ is supposed to be with. Secrecy is not a party favor to be given out to friends. . . . This bears a disturbing resemblance to the FBI’s handing out ‘goodies’ to corporations in return for folding them into its domestic surveillance machinery.”
When the government raises its alert levels, InfraGard is in the loop. For instance, in a press release on February 7, 2003, the Secretary of Homeland Security and the Attorney General announced that the national alert level was being raised from yellow to orange. They then listed “additional steps” that agencies were taking to “increase their protective measures.” One of those steps was to “provide alert information to InfraGard program.”
“They’re very much looped into our readiness capability,” says Amy Kudwa, spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security. “We provide speakers, as well as do joint presentations [with the FBI]. We also train alongside them, and they have participated in readiness exercises.”
On May 9, 2007, George Bush issued National Security Presidential Directive 51 entitled “National Continuity Policy.” In it, he instructed the Secretary of Homeland Security to coordinate with “private sector owners and operators of critical infrastructure, as appropriate, in order to provide for the delivery of essential services during an emergency.”
Asked if the InfraGard National Members Alliance was involved with these plans, Schneck said it was “not directly participating at this point.” Hershman, chairman of the group’s advisory board, however, said that it was.
InfraGard members, sometimes hundreds at a time, have been used in “national emergency preparation drills,” Schneck acknowledges.
“In case something happens, everybody is ready,” says Norm Arendt, the head of the Madison, Wisconsin, chapter of InfraGard, and the safety director for the consulting firm Short Elliott Hendrickson, Inc. “There’s been lots of discussions about what happens under an emergency.”
One business owner in the United States tells me that InfraGard members are being advised on how to prepare for a martial law situation—and what their role might be. He showed me his InfraGard card, with his name and e-mail address on the front, along with the InfraGard logo and its slogan, “Partnership for Protection.” On the back of the card were the emergency numbers that Schneck mentioned.
This business owner says he attended a small InfraGard meeting where agents of the FBI and Homeland Security discussed in astonishing detail what InfraGard members may be called upon to do.
“The meeting started off innocuously enough, with the speakers talking about corporate espionage,” he says. “From there, it just progressed. All of a sudden we were knee deep in what was expected of us when martial law is declared. We were expected to share all our resources, but in return we’d be given specific benefits.” These included, he says, the ability to travel in restricted areas and to get people out.But that’s not all.
“Then they said when—not if—martial law is declared, it was our responsibility to protect our portion of the infrastructure, and if we had to use deadly force to protect it, we couldn’t be prosecuted,” he says.
I was able to confirm that the meeting took place where he said it had, and that the FBI and Homeland Security did make presentations there. One InfraGard member who attended that meeting denies that the subject of lethal force came up. But the whistleblower is 100 percent certain of it. “I have nothing to gain by telling you this, and everything to lose,” he adds. “I’m so nervous about this, and I’m not someone who gets nervous.”
Though Schneck says that FBI and Homeland Security agents do make presentations to InfraGard, she denies that InfraGard members would have any civil patrol or law enforcement functions. “I have never heard of InfraGard members being told to use lethal force anywhere,” Schneck says.
The FBI adamantly denies it, also. “That’s ridiculous,” says Catherine Milhoan, an FBI spokesperson. “If you want to quote a businessperson saying that, knock yourself out. If that’s what you want to print, fine.”
But one other InfraGard member corroborated the whistleblower’s account, and another would not deny it.
Christine Moerke is a business continuity consultant for Alliant Energy in Madison, Wisconsin. She says she’s an InfraGard member, and she confirms that she has attended InfraGard meetings that went into the details about what kind of civil patrol function—including engaging in lethal force—that InfraGard members may be called upon to perform.
“There have been discussions like that, that I’ve heard of and participated in,” she says.
Curt Haugen is CEO of S’Curo Group, a company that does “strategic planning, business continuity planning and disaster recovery, physical and IT security, policy development, internal control, personnel selection, and travel safety,” according to its website. Haugen tells me he is a former FBI agent and that he has been an InfraGard member for many years. He is a huge booster. “It’s the only true organization where there is the public-private partnership,” he says. “It’s all who knows who. You know a face, you trust a face. That’s what makes it work.”
He says InfraGard “absolutely” does emergency preparedness exercises. When I ask about discussions the FBI and Homeland Security have had with InfraGard members about their use of lethal force, he says: “That much I cannot comment on. But as a private citizen, you have the right to use force if you feel threatened.”
“We were assured that if we were forced to kill someone to protect our infrastructure, there would be no repercussions,” the whistleblower says. “It gave me goose bumps. It chilled me to the bone.”

How Anarchy is Systematically Undermined
Anarchy is a prime target for being torpedoed. It's done so easily. The economic and political powers that be don't have to destroy Anarchism as a movement. They simply render it ineffectual by planting people who ridicule anything that doesn't sound like what they want things to sound like and they want it to sound like monotonous, droning, ever-repeating words and phrases that, having been repeated endless times, become boring, emptied of content, hypnotic. The petty and weak-willed among you, those who need an orthodoxy to guide their way, and those who have hitched their entire identity wagon to Anarchy take their cue from that.
There's a species of bird, I think it's the cuckoo actually, that will expel any chick from the nest that doesn't nod exactly as the family does. One errant nod of the head, and the chick or fledgling is pushed out of the nest before it can fly. Anarchists, sadly, have been brought to the lowly emotional and ideological state of the cuckoo - and you have done so willingly.
They are instructed to throw out the good and the bad in religion alike so that no one is left who cultivates humility or attempts to suppress their ego or attempts to practice unconditional love.
They so easily play on your ego. If someone doesn't behave properly, feel free to feel one up by calling them "annoying", or worse.
The momentary satisfaction of feeling superior to someone is more valuable to too many of you than the Anarchist movement and all the hope it holds out. And that is why you're ineffectual.
Nuance is more important to you than substance and that is why the Anarchist movement is fractured to the point of being crippled.
One Israeli Anarchist's recent behavior toward me is typical. Rather than celebrating the fact that there is another Anarchist in Israel, we are a very rare breed, and reaching out to me in solidarity; he wrote me a snide little post because I didn't immediately go into a harangue about the wall and all Anarchists must do that - it's the nod, you know, everyone *knows* that.
He's one of those Jewish Anarchists who need to prove himself to the Gentiles. My feeling is to say to him: lose the inferiority complex, Jew boy. They can feel your desperation and it's embarrassing to us who aren't doing figure eights to be accepted.
It's not my way to concern myself with individual expressions of what's wrong. I do the systems analysis of how the rich and powerful work and articulate what's wrong to others. That's my style, my particular talent and my potential contribution if you'll recognize it as such. I know that there are people that are much better at details than I, and I am confident that they will carry out their tasks, in accordance with their talents and aptitudes, and, in so doing, make their contributions to The Cause. Their work complements that of the people who see overall systems. The one does not contradict the other and most certainly does not impede or devalue the other. If you'll be wise enough to recognize the contributions that others who think and work differently than you can make to Anarchy, rather than insisting that they nod the nod right; you'll realize you've got worthwhile comrades and you will encourage their dedication. If not, the loss will be to the Anarchist movement in general and we'll all continue to suffer a while longer.
Too many of you do not yet understand that the differences in people are their relative strengths and you most certainly don't know how to make the best of that, how to utilize those differences, which are strengths as complements and supplements of one another. The Rothschilds do. Their whole empire is built on that knowledge. Someone by the name of Davidson sent a letter to Nathan Rothschild on June 24, 1814. In the letter he wrote, "As long as a house is like yours, and as long as you work together with your brothers, not a house in the world will be able to compete with you, to cause you harm or to take advantage of you, for together you can undertake and perform more than any house in the world." Saloman (Salmon) Rothschild wrote the following to his brother Nathan on Feb. 28, 1815, "We are like the mechanism of a watch: each part is essential." Would that Anarchists would understand this! But you don't. That is why their boot is on your neck and will remain there until such time as you learn to work with others in tandem without jealousy, contests of will or thinking of others as threats.
There is another extremely important matter that the Rothschilds have down pat that the Anarchists have not begun to understand. Reality is this *and* that, not this *or* that. If you think disjunctively, if you think that you must line up on one side of an issue or the other, if you can't think comprehensively – you are the easy prey of those who can. They see all sides and know how to work them to their best advantage. So must we if we are to defeat them. We must learn to think conjunctively as they do, in terms of this *and* that, to be able to handle paradoxes, to be able to reconcile apparent contradictions - not opportunistically as they do, but creatively, or we will continue to be their sorry slaves and unwitting agents of their plots and schemes, that is, to be our own worst enemies.

The petty are wholly unfit for Anarchy. The people pulling the money strings know this. That is why they plant people among you who make being sarcastic and jaded look sophisticated and cool.

Anarchy is a prime target for being torpedoed. It's done so easily. The economic and political powers that be don't have to destroy Anarchism as a movement. They simply render it ineffectual by planting people who ridicule anything that doesn't sound like what they want things to sound like and they want it to sound like monotonous, droning, ever-repeating words and phrases that, having been repeated endless times, become boring, emptied of content, hypnotic. The petty and weak-willed among you, those who need an orthodoxy to guide their way, and those who have hitched their entire identity wagon to Anarchy take their cue from that.
There's a species of bird, I think it's the cuckoo actually, that will expel any chick from the nest that doesn't nod exactly as the family does. One errant nod of the head, and the chick or fledgling is pushed out of the nest before it can fly. Anarchists, sadly, have been brought to the lowly emotional and ideological state of the cuckoo - and you have done so willingly.
They are instructed to throw out the good and the bad in religion alike so that no one is left who cultivates humility or attempts to suppress their ego or attempts to practice unconditional love.
They so easily play on your ego. If someone doesn't behave properly, feel free to feel one up by calling them "annoying", or worse.
The momentary satisfaction of feeling superior to someone is more valuable to too many of you than the Anarchist movement and all the hope it holds out. And that is why you're ineffectual.
Nuance is more important to you than substance and that is why the Anarchist movement is fractured to the point of being crippled.
One Israeli Anarchist's recent behavior toward me is typical. Rather than celebrating the fact that there is another Anarchist in Israel, we are a very rare breed, and reaching out to me in solidarity; he wrote me a snide little post because I didn't immediately go into a harangue about the wall and all Anarchists must do that - it's the nod, you know, everyone *knows* that.
He's one of those Jewish Anarchists who need to prove himself to the Gentiles. My feeling is to say to him: lose the inferiority complex, Jew boy. They can feel your desperation and it's embarrassing to us who aren't doing figure eights to be accepted.
It's not my way to concern myself with individual expressions of what's wrong. I do the systems analysis of how the rich and powerful work and articulate what's wrong to others. That's my style, my particular talent and my potential contribution if you'll recognize it as such. I know that there are people that are much better at details than I, and I am confident that they will carry out their tasks, in accordance with their talents and aptitudes, and, in so doing, make their contributions to The Cause. Their work complements that of the people who see overall systems. The one does not contradict the other and most certainly does not impede or devalue the other. If you'll be wise enough to recognize the contributions that others who think and work differently than you can make to Anarchy, rather than insisting that they nod the nod right; you'll realize you've got worthwhile comrades and you will encourage their dedication. If not, the loss will be to the Anarchist movement in general and we'll all continue to suffer a while longer.
Too many of you do not yet understand that the differences in people are their relative strengths and you most certainly don't know how to make the best of that, how to utilize those differences, which are strengths as complements and supplements of one another. The Rothschilds do. Their whole empire is built on that knowledge. Someone by the name of Davidson sent a letter to Nathan Rothschild on June 24, 1814. In the letter he wrote, "As long as a house is like yours, and as long as you work together with your brothers, not a house in the world will be able to compete with you, to cause you harm or to take advantage of you, for together you can undertake and perform more than any house in the world." Saloman (Salmon) Rothschild wrote the following to his brother Nathan on Feb. 28, 1815, "We are like the mechanism of a watch: each part is essential." Would that Anarchists would understand this! But you don't. That is why their boot is on your neck and will remain there until such time as you learn to work with others in tandem without jealousy, contests of will or thinking of others as threats.
There is another extremely important matter that the Rothschilds have down pat that the Anarchists have not begun to understand. Reality is this *and* that, not this *or* that. If you think disjunctively, if you think that you must line up on one side of an issue or the other, if you can't think comprehensively – you are the easy prey of those who can. They see all sides and know how to work them to their best advantage. So must we if we are to defeat them. We must learn to think conjunctively as they do, in terms of this *and* that, to be able to handle paradoxes, to be able to reconcile apparent contradictions - not opportunistically as they do, but creatively, or we will continue to be their sorry slaves and unwitting agents of their plots and schemes, that is, to be our own worst enemies.

Hitler Used Rothschild's Typewriter to Write Mein Kampf
It's HIGH TIME we Jews roused ourselves out of the complacency and lethargy of our mythology, overcame the feeling of superiority that hating the "Goyim" affords and generally tore ourselves away from the Manishewitz whine and cheese party (why does shit always happen to *me*) and began to understand who our real, home-grown, enemies are.
Until you have the courage to face this truth, never say "Never Again!"
Caveat: I do not refer to these people as "Illuminati". That is part and parcel of the mythology they disseminate to make people feel inferior to them.

The Ludic Revolution
Bob Black calls it The Ludic Revolution. It's the only revolution which ever will, or can, work.
Revolution cannot be accomplished by violence. I see nothing morally or essentially wrong with using violence against the economic and political powers that be. If using violence were an effective means of bringing about revolution, I'd be all for it. I do not respect, or even acknowledge, any right to life and property on their part in the least. When they arrogated our rights to life and freedom they forfeited their own, and I am convinced that no one has the right to private property.
I do not advocate violence against the economic and political powers that be simply and only because violence against them won't work. They are better at violence than we.
Moreover, and this is terribly important to understand, as Gustav Landauer wrote, so very insightfully:
"One can throw away a chair and destroy a pane of glass; but those are idle talkers and credulous idolaters of words who regard the state as such a thing or as a fetish that one can smash in order to destroy it. The State is a condition, a certain relationship between human beings, a mode of behavior; we destroy it by contracting other relationships, by behaving differently toward one another - One day it will be realized that socialism is not the invention of anything new but the discovery of something actually present, of something that has grown; We are the state and we shall continue to be the state until we have created the institutions that form a real community and society of men". - Gustav Landauer
"Schwache Stattsmänner, Schwacheres Volk!" ("Weak Statesman, Weaker People!")
Der Sozialist, June 1910
The economic and political powers that be derive their powers from us – from the permission we granted them to usurp our basic rights. They are the distillation of the very worst in us. Violence will not be effective against them. They are far more effective at terrorizing us than we them because it was our fear that created their dominion in the first place.
HR 1955 (S 1959) is legislature aimed at preventing the use of force or violence to effect social change. All legislation designed to regulate and control behavior is centered on the prohibition of force and violence.
Have you ever heard of legislation against laughter?
Love and LAUGHTER conquer fear. They are both orders of magnitude more powerful than fear and when we love and laugh, fear is displaced in us. We become more expansive. We become more creative. We become vastly more powerful.
The economic and political powers that be do not deserve our love. As the ancient Jewish teaching has it: "Those who are compassionate toward the cruel will, in the end, be cruel to the compassionate." The history of Christianity bears out just how true this maxim is.
They are deserving of nothing but our ridicule. They deserve to be laughed at.
We can diminish anything with our laughter.
There is a higher level of laughter than sardonic ridicule and, if we are to effect a revolution, we must reach that level of laughter.
When we can laugh at their funny money; when we can look at their concentration camps and at the double-decker trains equipped with chains and shackles and laugh; when we can laugh at the electronic turnstiles and the cement floors and the barbed wire and the gas pipes and the furnaces they've installed in some of the camps and laugh; when we can laugh at the horrible images the threats of "mental health" camps in Alaska that can hold 2 million people conjure up in our minds; when we can laugh at the fear and disgust they try to induce in us with all the talk of them practicing occult and satanic practices (the photos of the ceremonies they conduct really are ludicrous), when we can laugh *at death itself* – we will have conquered our own minds and emotions and, in so doing, destroyed their hold on us entirely.
The economic and political "powers" are nothing but the reification of the horrors in our own minds and the emotions they arouse. When we conquer our minds and those emotions that hold us prisoner, then and only then will we be free.
Long live The Ludic Revolution!
Great questions posed to me about "The Ludic Revolution", and my, hopefully adequate, answers:
Question: "1) Are the "economic & political powers" in your first paragraph, which you deny the right to life or property, the same ones in your last paragraph, which are in our own minds? If not, what is the relation between the two?"
My answer: They are one and the same.
They have, in working to create the conditions for genocide, forfeited their right to life. I do not accept that anyone has the right to private property. Private property allows an amassing of power, which eventually leads to monstrosities like int'l bankers.However, their monetary and power bases are purely imaginary - fiat money, not backed by gold or any other standard and our attributing power to them.When we attribute to others power that they do not in actuality have, we do most of the work in creating the conditions of our slavery. They have initiated those conditions, true, but we run with the ball when we accept them as authorities and "powers".
Question: "2) If the state can only be changed/replaced by creating "the institutions that form a real community and society" (Landauer´s words, which you quote), then how is conquering our own minds until we can laugh at everything, going to achieve this?"
Answer: Their power is purely fictive, but it is fueled by our fear of them. Laughter is the most powerful antidote to fear.
Question: "3) If violence is impractical in effecting change, doesn´t that make it ethically wrong too? When counter-violence provides a justification for yet greater repression, isn´t it actually supporting the system, and what could be more unethical than that?"
Answer: I define that which is ethically wrong as that which does not foster life and welfare generally. Using violence does as much harm, and sometimes more, to the perpetrator of the violence as it does to the person the violence is inflicted upon. Therefore, it is unethical, as well as ineffective, in my book. It is ineffective because life is not fostered by it and so everything in nature rebels against it.Let's take the Rothschilds. I said they and their minions have forfeited their right to life. But even though that is true, if someone takes their life, they would be debased in so doing. Better to isolate them from what has become the only source of their miserable existence - our fear and our belief that they hold sway over us.
Let's laugh those clowns off the stage of history!
As they equate money and power with life, by our not partaking in their fiat money or recognizing their power, by making laughingstocks of them; they will be effectively deprived of the only sources of life they recognize and we will not be sullied in so doing.

"Optional Privacy Waiver"???
This now appears on the US Embassy in Israel site:
You Are In: Home > Consular Affairs > Registering your trip to israel
Registering your trip to israel
Why should I register with the Embassy?
If you are traveling to the Israel, or if you live here, the U.S. Embassy recommends that you register with us. This is for your protection, so that in case of emergency, we can assist Americans in Israel easier. The Embassy also sends out emails informing Americans who are registered about special issues, such as emergency information, Travel Warnings, Public Announcements, voting information, and Consular Information Sheets. information and much more.
What is it?
To ensure registering is as easy as possible, the U.S. government has established an online registration form. IBRS, the Internet Based Registration Service, is a central Internet site offering an on- line Office on Management and Budget or (OMB)-approved form that includes an optional Privacy Act waiver. The site will allow both short- and long-term travelers abroad to provide their itinerary, residence, and emergency contact information.
How do I register?
Simply go to the following website and complete the form: https://travelregistration.state.gov and click "Register My Trip".
Why this redundant registration? We all have passports. They can find those of us who don't in two seconds flat.
Is encouraging us to waive our privacy what this is really all about?
I really hate to be pedantic, but isn't Israel, like the names of all countries, always spelled with a capital letter at the beginning of the name?
Finally, why, oh WHY, did AmeriKKKa go so radically off kilter that I assume ill will in everything they do and wonder what the ulterior motive is in every new policy?
I didn't used to feel that way. I never liked the hyper-Capitalism, but I never thought they were trying to divest us of every possible freedom surreptitiously - not until this "administration".
