UNFOLDING EVENTS

Dear Friend of Radio Liberty,

"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous

to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them

imaginary." – H.L. Mencken

“[A]n alternative road [to the global Total State] may bypass the main path of history,

short-circuiting the organic stages of consensus, value formation, and the experiences of common enterprise generally believed to underlie political community. This relies on a

grave crisis or war to bring about a sudden transformation in national attitudes sufficient

for the purpose. According to this version, the order we examine may be brought into

existence as a result of a series of sudden, nasty, and traumatic shocks .” – Lincoln P.Bloomfield, MIT Professor, CFR adviser, and State Department consultant, 1962 (Emphasisadded) (1)

“The following substitute institutions, among others, have been proposed for consideration

as replacements for the nonmilitary functions of war. That they may not have been

originally set forth for that purpose does not preclude or invalidate their possible

application here.

ECONOMIC . a) A comprehensive social-welfare program, directed toward maximum

improvement of general conditions of human life. b) A giant open-end space research

program, aimed at unreachable targets. c) A permanent, ritualized, ultra-elaborate

disarmament inspection system, and variants of such a system.

POLITICAL a) An omnipresent, virtually omnipotent international police force.

b) An established and recognized extraterrestrial menace.

c) Massive global environmental pollution. d) Fictitious alternate enemies.

SOCIOLOGICAL: CONTROL FUNCTION . a) Programs generally derived from the PeaceCorps model. b) A modern, sophisticated form of slavery.

MOTIVATIONAL FUNCTION . a) Intensified environmental pollution. b) New religions or

other mythologies. c) Socially oriented blood games. d) Combination forms.

ECOLOGICAL. A comprehensive program of applied eugenics….” – Report From IronMountain: On the Possibility and Desirability of Peace (italicized emphasis added ). (2)



“It's very hard to get inflation in a depressed economy. But if you had a program of

government spending plus an expansionary policy by the Fed, you could get that. So, if you

think about using all of these things together, you could accomplish a great deal.

If we discovered that space aliens were planning to attack and we needed a massive buildup

to counter the space alien threat and really inflation and budget deficits took secondaryplace to that, this slump would be over in 18 months. And then if we discovered, oops, we

made a mistake, there aren't any aliens…. [T]here was a Twilight Zone episode like this in

which scientists fake an alien threat in order to achieve world peace. Well, this time...we

need it in order to get some fiscal stimulus.” – Nobel Prize-winning socialist “economist” PaulKrugman, CNN interview, August 12, 2011. (3)

For the Power Elite, its servitors in the media, and those imprisoned in the officially sanctified“consensus,” Paul Krugman is the epitome of Serious Thinking, and Ron Paul is the distilledessence of “extremism.” Almost alone among nationally known political figures, Dr. Paulwarned for decades that the debasement of the currency in the service of official profligacy

would lead to the current economic crisis. He continues to insist that the only way out of thiscrisis is to let the correction run its course, while liquidating all extra-constitutional governmentfunctions, radically reducing public expenditures, and restoring sound money.

Krugman dismisses this prescription as a pack of juvenile nonsense. Rather than rehabilitatingconstitutional government and fiscal discipline, a much sounder and more adult approach wouldbe to harrow up the minds of the public with an endless parade of threats and crises – including,if necessary, an engineered mass delusion involving an extraterrestrial threat. Only by deceivingthe public into believing that we face an existential crisis can the self-appointed lords of the fiatdollar generate continued public support for open-ended currency debasement and plunder in thename of economic “stimulus.” Dr. Paul and his ilk simply aren’t Serious People, according to the

custodians of elite opinion.

For the Cult of Keynes – named after John Maynard Keynes, the British academic who devisedthe socialist framework for today’s “mainstream” economics – prosperity doesn’t result from thecreative efforts of free people. Instead, it is the result of the dialectic between crisis and officialregimentation: Wars, riots, natural disasters, and similar catastrophes are desirable, from thatperspective, because they offer opportunities for government-administered reconstructionprograms. This is one reason why Keynesian commentators of Krugman’s type were practicallygiddy in anticipation of Hurricane Irene, and the disaster “stimulus” that would supposedlyfollow.

“We are now upping our estimate of fourth-quarter GDP in the U.S. economy,” exultedCumberland Advisors Chairman David Kotok early in the morning on August 28, before thehype surrounding Irene had dissipated. “Billions will be spent on rebuilding and recovery. Thatwill put some people back to work, at least temporarily.” On that basis, Kotok predicted asignificant spike in the Gross Domestic Product (which is itself a largely fictitious measure of thecountry’s economic health).



People across our land

Together have come to rebuild us and we join them hand-in-hand!” (8)

That nauseating spectacle would have been appropriate to Stalin’s Soviet Union or Mao’s China– traumatized, indoctrinated children forced to perform psalms of statist devotion in honor of their rulers. There really is no moral difference between the collectivist elite that afflicted those

countries and the corporate socialist Nomenklatura ruling our own – and the retreating tide of illusory affluence is revealing that there is no material difference between the police states thatruled those societies, and the one rapidly coalescing around us.

The same people who provide the relief are often the ones who can arrange the misery – or atleast capitalize on natural disasters in ways that enhance human misery. This is a perfectillustration of the arrangement described by Isabel Patterson in her famous 1943 essay “TheHumanitarian with the Guillotine”: Statist humanitarians need people to be needy, and will dowhat they can to ensure an abundance of need, which is why they will eventually set up theguillotine to deal with those who resist being helped. “The humanitarian in theory,” she warned,“is the terrorist in action.”(9)

Like its Brezhnev-era Soviet counterpart, our Nomenklatura is also actively involved inpromoting “wars of national liberation” abroad. The most active element within it, however, isinvolved in the new field of “Disaster Capitalism,” a term coined by left-leaning investigative journalist Naomi Klein.(10)

This expression refers to the huge and growing segment of the Leviathan devoted to HomelandSecurity, post-catastrophe relief, and post-war reconstruction abroad. It implicates as manyfederal agencies as possible, as well as the familiar assortment of corporate contractors(Halliburton, Blackwater USA, Bechtel, and that ilk). Ventures in Disaster Capitalism depend ona steady stream of human misery, whether as a result of acts of God (hurricanes, tsunamis,

earthquakes) or acts of State, such as wars – which tend to be much more destructive than naturalcatastrophes. While both kinds of tragedy can be profitable, wars are much easier to arrange thannatural disasters.

The same self-enraptured altruists who have been such a dubious blessing to disaster-strickenAmericans have displayed an even bloodier “healing” touch abroad – most recently in theslaughter unleashed in Libya. The consummation of a CIA-designed campaign that has unfoldedover at least three decades (or, arguably, since Gadhaffi was installed by the CIA and MI6 in1969), the “liberation” of Libya has resulted in the installation of a Sharia-defined ruling clique.Libya thus joins Afghanistan and Iraq as nations that have received Sharia-compliantconstitutions –courtesy of the United States military – in the past decade. (11)

The rebels whom the U.S. and NATO would install as Libya’s new government entered Tripolitriumphantly chanting “Allah Akbar!” Many of them had obtained valuable combat experienceby fighting American troops stationed in Iraq. The arrival of the supposed “freedom fighters”was heralded with massacres of accused Gadhaffi loyalists.

“The killings were pitiless,” reported Kim Sengupta of the Independent of London from Tripoli.“They had taken place at a makeshift hospital, in a tent marked clearly with the symbols of the



Islamic Crescent [the Muslim equivalent of the Red Cross] Some of the dead were on stretchers,attached to intravenous drips. Some were on the back on an ambulance that had been shot at. Afew were on the ground, seemingly attempting to crawl to safety when the bullets came.”

“Around 30 men lay decomposing in the heat,” continues the gruesome report. “Many of them

had their hands tied behind their back, either with plastic handcuffs or ropes. One had a scarf stuffed into his mouth. Almost all of the victims were black men…. The atrocities haveapparently not been confined to Tripoli: Amnesty International has reported similar violence inthe coastal town of Zawiyah….” Forces loyal to Gadhaffi have likewise committed massacresand other crimes, of course – but the foregoing atrocities were committed by forces armed,trained, equipped, and assisted by the regime in Washington. (12)

Washington’s involvement in the Libyan war is entirely illegal. Mr. Obama didn’t receive acongressional declaration of war, or even a statement of congressional approval; in fact, he didn’teven consult with Congress before committing the U.S. military to the conflict. Theadministration went so far as to deny that airstrikes and missile attacks on Libyan targets

constituted “hostilities.”

While the Obama administration insisted that it had no time to consult with Congress to obtainlegal authority to wage war against Libya, it spared no effort to arrange lucrative oil concessionswith government-controlled European oil companies. (13)

Veteran foreign affairs correspondent Eric Margolis, who has interviewed Gadhaffi and studiedthe region for decades, notes that just a few years ago the Libyan ruler – who was installed in1969 with the help of the CIA and British intelligence – was “brought in from the cold” byWashington and London.

“U.S., British and Italian oil firms were granted important new concessions”, Margolis observes,and the country was hailed by George W. Bush as "an important ally on the war againstterrorism." Republican John McCain of Arizona, who would later support the war to removeGadhaffi, visited the country in 2009 and lobbied for expanded military and diplomatic supportfor the regime in Tripoli.

However, Gadhafi – who was sitting on a huge stash of gold and some of the world’s largestreserves of “sweet” crude oil – was seen as insufficiently pliant to Euro-American political andbanking interests. Thus it was, Margolis explains, that when rebellion against Gadhafi blossomedin Benghazi in early 2011, “French president Nicholas Sarkozy, eager for a small conflict toboost his sagging fortunes with rightwing voters, recognized the rebels and had his intelligenceservice, DGSE, cobble together a `Transitional Council.’ This nebulous creation was composedof Libyan exiles who had lived in the west – as in the case of Iraq, many were `assets’ of westernintelligence. They were shoved together with Islamic militants who turned out most of the armedamateur fighters.” Nearly all of the serious fighting “was done by NATO airstrikes, Predatordrones and attack helicopters, vectored into their targets by British and French special forces onthe ground,” Margolis concludes. “NATO naval units played an important role in the final attack on Tripoli.” (14)



The Power Elite cannot create anything of value; their handiwork is measured by the number of countries they have ruined, the societies they have wrecked, and the graves they have filled.Theirs is a genuinely demonic version of alchemy in which death and suffering are transmutedinto profit. The worse things grow, the more powerful they become – but eventually they willreach a point of diminishing returns.

Since 2001, the news has been a symphony of misery punctuated by cymbal crashes of apocalyptic crisis – the sudden, nasty and traumatic shocks referred to by Lincoln P. Bloomfield.

One of the most severe but necessary lessons we have learned – through the fortuitously timedattacks of 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, economic collapse, natural and man-made disasters, and otheremergencies – is this: The government will not help you.

Consider one small but telling illustration. The $1.2 trillion the Federal Reserve gave to theworld’s largest banks – both here and abroad – could have paid off every delinquent mortgage in

the country. Instead, it went to pay for executive bonuses and salary increases. In late 2008,

every branch of the federal government, and elected officials on both sides of the congressionalaisle, mobilized to set up a huge taxpayer-funded bailout of Wall Street. The political elite willspare no expense to preserve the perks of the powerful and politically connected – and the rest of us can simply pound sand, as far as they’re concerned.

The federal government is literally bankrupt. Municipal governments across the country arelikewise sliding into insolvency. “Tent cities” are springing up like poisonous mushrooms instates from California to New Jersey.

“Flash mobs” – packs of violent criminals organized through Facebook and other social media –are frequently materializing and preying upon the weak, helpless, and isolated. Major cities like

Detroit and Cleveland are literally dying, as abandoned homes accumulate, neighborhoods areleft vacant, and grass literally begins to grow in desolate, unlit city streets.

That’s what things look like now – and the worst, we have no choice but to admit, is yet to come.The time to prepare is rapidly evaporating, and those of us who understand the designs of ourself-appointed rulers – and anticipate the ultimate triumph of the One Being in the universewhose right it is to rule – must do whatever is in our power to prepare ourselves and our familiesfor the genuinely horrifying times that lay ahead.

While we cannot be indifferent to what is happening in the political realm, we should not indulgethe misguided fantasy that there is a purely political solution to our predicament. This is a battle

that can only be won by individuals, families, and groups of informed and independent-mindedpeople joined by shared principles and committed to living lives of Godly defiance. Thatdefiance begins with daring to escape the prison of officially constructed illusion, and continuesas we share what we learned with others and – more importantly – act on that knowledge withoutseeking permission from those who presume to rule us. They don’t own us, and we owe themneither our allegiance nor our respect.

I agree with that assessment, and fear the Brotherhood of Darkness (the BOD) is going toconsolidate the Muslim nations under the rule of the radical group they (the BOD) established in1928, the Muslim Brotherhood.

Why is the BOD consolidating the Muslim nations? I believe they want to precipitate World WarIIII because they believe it will correct the current economic situation, destroy the remnant of Christianity, kill millions of people, and unite the world. What can we do? We must continue oureffort to expose the BOD, and pray for revival, because:

“A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing;

Our helper He, amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing:



For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe,

His craft and power are great, and armed with cruel hate,

On earth is not his equal.

Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing;

Were not the right Man on our side, the Man of God’s own choosing:Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He;

Lord Sabaoth, His name, from age to age the same,

And He must win the battle.” – Martin Luther “A Might Fortress Is Our God”

That is the essence of the current struggle.

Barbara and I appreciate your faithful prayers, and your loyal support.

Yours in Christ,

Stanley Monteith
