Former president Jimmy Carter said Tuesday on the nationally syndicated radio show the Thom Hartmann Program that the United States is now an “oligarchy” in which “unlimited political bribery” has created “a complete subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors.” Both Democrats and Republicans, Carter said, “look upon this unlimited money as a great benefit to themselves.”
Carter was responding to a question from Hartmann about recent Supreme Court decisions on campaign financing like Citizens United.
Transcript:
HARTMANN: Our Supreme Court has now said, “unlimited money in politics.” It seems like a violation of principles of democracy. … Your thoughts on that?
CARTER: It violates the essence of what made America a great country in its political system. Now it’s just an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery being the essence of getting the nominations for president or to elect the president. And the same thing applies to governors and U.S. senators and congress members. So now we’ve just seen a complete subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors, who want and expect and sometimes get favors for themselves after the election’s over. … The incumbents, Democrats and Republicans, look upon this unlimited money as a great benefit to themselves. Somebody’s who’s already in Congress has a lot more to sell to an avid contributor than somebody who’s just a challenger.
I’ve added Carter’s statement to this list of politicians acknowledging that money controls politics. Please let me know if you have other good examples.
Yeah its an oligarchy who control the mainstream media and the big pharma corporations and the weapons manufacturers and the banks and the oil companies and much more besides
They are also eugencists who want to cull the human population
One way in which they are going to do this is through vaccinations which they will force on you
They want to take your guns off you and then kill you
The 'major contributors' that he is talking about are the people who own and control your central bank...the federal reserve
The state of texas has recently asked to have its gold repatriated from the federal reserve and has created a bank that recognises gold as a currency
This is a direct threat to the paper (fictitious) money created by the group of ashkenazi families who form the cartel that is the federal reserve bank
So those banking gangsters who are destroying your economy and using your military abroad to further the interests of the ashkenazis in israel have sent troops to texas to run what they are calling 'drills'
These drills are called 'jade helm'
So the texans have called out the state guard to protect the people of texas from the federal special forces soldiers that have been sent to intimidate the texans who are now talking about breaking away from the US altogether
The whole hype about the confederate flag ties into all this too and i'll post an article about that next
As we've all just seen greece has been utterly humiliated by the international banking gangsters who are now going to strip all their national assets
They will now do that to each country in turn and will probably target spain next where the government has made it illegal for spanish citizens to say anything that is a criticism of the government
Critisize the government in spain and you will be arrested
They are also going to bring the US to its knees as well and that process is now well under way
Falsifying History In Behalf Of Agendas
Paul Craig Roberts
In an article on April 13 ( http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2015/04/13/power-lies/ ) I used the so-called Civil War and the myths with which court historians have encumbered that war to show how history is falsified in order to serve agendas. I pointed out that it was a war of secession, not a civil war as the South was not fighting the North for control of the government in Washington. As for the matter of slavery, all of Lincoln’s statements prove that he was neither for the blacks nor against slavery. Yet he has been turned into a civil rights hero, and a war of northern aggression, whose purpose Lincoln stated over and over was “to preserve the union” (the empire), has been converted into a war to free the slaves.
As for the Emancipation Proclamation, Lincoln said it was “a practical war measure” that would help in defeating the South and would convince Europe, which was considering recognizing the Confederacy, that Washington was motivated by “something more than ambition.” The proclamation only freed slaves in the Confederacy, not in the Union. As Lincoln’s Secretary of State put it: “we emancipated slaves where we cannot reach them and hold them in bondage where we can set them free.”
A few readers took exception to the truth and misconstrued a statement of historical facts as a racist defense of slavery. In an article on LewRockwell.com https://www.lewrockwell.com/2015/07/walter-e-williams/was-1861-a-civil-war/ , the well-known African-American, Walter Williams, points out that the war was about money, not slavery. Just as Jews who tell the truth about Israel’s policies are called “self-hating Jews,” will Walter Williams be called a “self-hating black?” Invective is used as a defense against truth.
Racist explanations can be very misleading. For example, it is now a given that the police are racists because they kill without cause black Americans and almost always get away with it. Here is a case of a true fact being dangerously misconstrued. In actual fact, the police kill more whites than blacks, and they get away with these murders also. So how is race the explanation?
The real explanation is that the police have been militarized and trained to view the public as enemy who must first be subdued with force and then questioned. This is the reason that so many innocent people, of every race, are brutalized and killed. No doubt some police are racists, but overall their attitude toward the public is a brutal attitude toward all races, genders, and ages. The police are a danger to everyone, not only to blacks.
We see the same kind of mistake made with the Confederate Battle Flag. Reading some of the accounts of the recent Charleston church shootings, I got the impression that the Confederate Battle Flag, not Dylann Roof, was responsible for the murders. Those declaring the flag to be a “symbol of hate” might be correct. Possibly it is a symbol of their hatred of the “white South,” a hatred that dates from the mischaracterization of what is called the “Civil War.” As one commentator pointed out, if flying over slavery for four years makes the Confederate flag a symbol of hate, what does that make the U.S. flag, which flew over slavery for 88 years?
Flags on a battlefield are information devices to show soldiers where their lines are. In the days of black powder, battles produced enormous clouds of smoke that obscured the line between opposing forces. In the first battle of Bull Run confusion resulted from the similarity of the flags. Thus, the Confederate Battle Flag was born. It had nothing to do with hate.
Americans born into the centralized state are unaware that their forebears regarded themselves principally as residents of states, and not as Americans. Their loyalty was to their state. When Robert E. Lee was offered command in the Union Army, he declined on the grounds that he was a Virginian and could not go to war against his native country of Virginia.
A nonsensical myth has been created that Southerners made blacks into slaves because Southerners are racist. The fact of the matter is that slaves were brought to the new world as a labor force for large scale agriculture. The first slaves were whites sentenced to slavery under European penal codes. Encyclopedia Virginia reports that “convict laborers could be purchased for a lower price than indentured white or enslaved African laborers, and because they already existed outside society’s rules, they could be more easily exploited.”
White slavery also took the form of indentured servants in which whites served under contract as slaves for a limited time. Native Indians were enslaved. But whites and native Indians proved to be unsatisfactory labor forces for large scale agriculture. The whites had no resistance to malaria and yellow fever. It was discovered that some Africans did, and Africans were also accustomed to hot climates. Favored by superior survivability, Africans became the labor force of choice.
Slaves were more prominent in the Southern colonies than in the north, because the land in the South was more suitable for large scale agriculture. By the time of the American Revolution, the South was specialized in agriculture, and slavery was an inherited institution that long pre-dated both the United States and the Confederate States of America. The percentage of slave owners in the population was very small, because slavery was associated with large land holdings that produced export crops.
The motive behind slavery was to have a labor force in order to exploit the land. Those with large land holdings wanted labor and did not care about its color. Trial and error revealed that some Africans had superior survivability to malaria, and thus Africans became the labor force of choice. There was no free labor market. The expanding frontier offered poor whites land of their own, which they preferred to wages as agricultural workers.
A racist explanation of slavery and the Confederacy satisfies some agendas, but it is ahistorical.
Explanations are not justifications. Every institution, every vice, every virtue, and language itself has roots. Every institution and every cause has vested interests defending them. There have been a few efforts, such as the French Revolution and the Bolshevik Revolution, to remake the world in a day by casting off all existing institutions, but these attempts came a cropper.
Constant charges of racism can both create and perpetuate racism, just as the constant propaganda out of Washington is creating Islamophobia and Russophobia in the American population. We should be careful about the words we use and reject agenda-driven explanations.
Readers are forever asking me, “what can we do.” The answer is always the same. We can’t do anything unless we are informed. 210

Of all the Presidents I believe Carter has proven himself to be the most out of touch with reality.
Couple that with my personal and what I believe to be correct opinion that there simply isnt anything special about any President I have seen in the past 30 years and this doesn't add up to a whole lot of care what in my book.
This is an excerpt from an interview with Norman Dodd, a banker/bank manager who worked as a financial advisor and served as chief investigator in 1953 for the Special Committee on Tax Exempt Foundations.(link).
This blew my mind. It's worth watching the whole thing, but he starts dropping the bomb around 6:19.
This helps to explain why we brainwash 5-year-old children with the pledge of allegiance.
Here's the version that would make more sense:
I pledge allegiance, to the military might of the United States of America
And to the Western Bankers, which it serves,
One nation, under the Federal Reserve
Interfering, with tyranny and oppression for all less fortunate.
Of all the Presidents I believe Carter has proven himself to be the most out of touch with reality.
Couple that with my personal and what I believe to be correct opinion that there simply isnt anything special about any President I have seen in the past 30 years and this doesn't add up to a whole lot of care what in my book.
There are certain fanatical elements within the US and UK and their viewpoints can be heard given by certain posters on this forum and i will give you the information below required to spot them. The views of these people are highly dangerous to your freedoms and even to your safety because what these people are supporting are moves to radically alter your society to a dictatorship. Some elements plan to achieve this through catastrophes through which they hope to fearmonger people into a new direction
There are the 'progressive left' people many of which actually believe that they are doing the right thing
They listen to all of the so called 'left' propaganda that the oligarch media puts out and they swallow it all down and they do so because not all of it is bad! It isn't all bad...i even support some of it.
So for example on one hand the progressive left will defend gay rights (which i would also defend) but on the other hand they will also tell you that the government should be allowed to run the internet, that you should take all the vaccinations the big pharma/government nexus want to give you and your kids and that you should give up your guns and leave yourself defenceless to the federal authorities
They will also talk about how the country is screwed. They'll criticise capitalism and you know what? On much of what they say i agree
But why they are being fooled is because they don't know what the oligarchs are planning to replace it all with
There are roughly speaking 2 types of socialism you see and the corporate media (owned and controlled by the oligarchs) and the education system (controlled by the oligarchs through their tax exempt foundations-see AJ's video clip above) will only ever tell you about one of those types of socialism and that is because they want to hide the other kind from you
There are also roughly speaking 2 versions of capitalism and both of those are discussed in the media (free market/libertarian capitalism v's state-capitalism)
How the corporate media will present all this to you is as a battle between the so called 'left' and the so called 'right' but that is misleading because they're not telling you what the left really is
A more accurate way to see things is to realise that there is a struggle going on and it is a struggle that has gone on in history for a very long time between centralised power and decentralised power
Those few in favour of centralised power want to move all the wealth and power into the hands of a few who can then dictate to the rest of the public. Under a centrally controlled system the people lose any democratic say and they lose their rights and freedoms. Those people are STATE-SOCIALIST not libertarian socialist because they want a large all powerful state to control you and everything you do
Think for example of the centrally controlled planned economy of the USSR where the workers just became miserable drones who were ordered about, persecuted and spied on by the central politburo. That is what the oligarchy want to turn the US into because for them democracy is a nuisance. In order to keep up a facade of democracy the oligarchs have to invest large sums of money and effort to lobby and subvert the political system. They would rather do away with any pretense of democracy altogether and rule us directly as fascist dictators
They also don't like free markets because they want to control the economy. In order to move us to their system they must make you lose all faith in other ways of doing things so they have to sabatage your economy and that's what they did with the toxic derivatives in 2008. Those faults within the economy have not been corrected and we are heading towards a collapse of the current order
They want this collapse so that they can replace it with their planned economy dictatorship
here is the crazy part about all these progressive left people who are supporting the rights of various groups (who i also support)
They are so fixated on crusading for all these various causes that they are losing sight of how society in its entirety is being led towards an orwellian nightmare
What's the point of having the right to gay marriage if you are a slave living under a USSR type system (but worse than that because of the advances in various forms of dangerous technology) who has been stripped of all democratic rights, wealth and control over your life
The oligarchs have a plan called 'agenda 21' which is basically a plan to cull a large part of humanity. The remainder will be shunted off the fracked to death land and into urban zones where they will be crammed into tiny apartments like battery hens
They will not get to choose their job as every aspect of their life will be dictated to them
They will be told where they can live, what work they will do, whether or not they can breed, where they can go, what they can eat, what knowledge they may have and so on
So i appeal to people that whislt they are campaigning for gay rights or womens rights or black rights or transgender rights or anything like that that you also at the same time campaign for your DEMOCRATIC RIGHTS otherwise you will lose everything you gain in your struggle anyway as the dictatorship comes in
This brings me to DECENTRALISATION; this is the other form of socialism
Decentralisation is where the workers of all genders, races, sexual preferences etc all discuss all the matters of their community together as equals in peoples assemblies from which they elect delegates to carry forward the mandate of their community to the next level (eg regional)
This is an example of power being exercised from the bottom up and it is one where the rights of ALL PEOPLE are respected and where people have a direct say in their communities and where they can choose how they want to contribute to the community and can choose what they want to do with their own bodies and lives
This is the total OPPOSITE of what the oligarchs want; the oligarchs want to control you totally
This is why the oligarchs keep trying to globalise all infrastructure. For example they are trying to create a european superstate called the EU which is proving a dictatorship to the european peoples who are seeing their economies looted by the oligarchs and their democratic rights and freedoms trampled into the dust
The oligarchs are doing the same in the americas through NAFTA where they want to create an american superstate
When they centralise control like that the decision making process MOVES FURTHER AND FURTHER AWAY FROM YOU
For example decisions that affect me are no longer made in my country (the UK) they are made by unelected politicians in a different country (in brussels in belgium) who do not care what i or anyone else in britain think
The progressive left despite fighting for some good causes don't realise that they are being duped and that the money behind their movement comes form the oligarchs who don't actually care about the rights of gay people or black people or transgender people or women etc they see you as bugs to be squashed and controlled as they create their new world order
They're using the various campaigns to divide and rule the population
So yes we should campaign for peoples rights but we must also remember that we must stay together as one community
People talk about the 'gay community' or the 'black community' etc but if we are not to be dominated by the oligarchs we must remember that really we are all ONE COMMUNITY of people who all want the same things in life which is to be safe and healthy and happy
if you allow the oligarchs to take control of you you will be neither healthy nor happy. These people have proven themselves to be liars, murderers, thieves and rapists
We must stand together and reject central control
we must start demanding decentralisation of wealth and power so that we all have a say over our communities and a good quality of life otherwise the oligarchs and their unwitting dupes in the progressive left are going to lead us on a road to hell
Another fanatical element whose views you will hear represented here on this forum is that of the zionists
Let me be clear before anyone gets the wrong idea about my views
It is my belief that the safest future for israelis is to make a lasting and sustainable peace with their neighbours
This would require handing back some of the land that they have illegally taken from the palestineans so that the palestineans can have a viable state
For as long as israel persecutes the palestineans it will be a sore point around the world upsetting many people around the world and creating anger towards israel
If the israelis bring peace to the region on the other hand it would take the wind out of the sails of various factions who use israel's stance as a political justification for their acts of violence eg what is being termed 'radical islam'
So israeli zionists seek a homeland and that is a position i can sympathise with as long as it doesn't mean the destruction of the palestinean people...that will not work and will breed violence
But there are elements in zionism who want to create an Eretz Israel (a greater israel) which is a giant state taking up huge swathes of the middle east and the way they envisage achieving this is through war and destruction that will affect all of us
The christian zionist movement in the US is controlled by the financiers who control the wider zionist movement
Zionism is a political materialist movement and is not the same thing as judaism the religion
so not all zionists are jews and not all jews are zionists
As i've stated i want israelis to have a homeland so in the loosest sense you could call me a zionist but i also want the palestineans to have a homeland
But the christian zionists do not want israelis to have a homeland. what they want is to fulfill a biblical prophecy
Their aim is to bring about a clash of two armies to bring about the armageddon. They have chosen for this task the muslims and the christians
They want to bring about a 'clash of civilisations' that will see all of humanity obliterated and gods chosen few raised upto heaven in the rapture
These guys are an apocalyptic cult and they are seeking your destruction
if you do not share their vision of your future which involves you being turned into an irradiated dust cloud then speak out against them and oppose their extremist and insane views
They wish to stoke this clash by attacking Iran
The israelis are testing dirty bombs in the desert and it is very possible that they have a plan afoot to detonate a dirty bomb somewhere which they will then blame on the iranians
The obvious target for such a false flag attack would be the US
After the attack the zionist media (the financiers control the big 6 corporate media corporations) would go into overdrive blaming the iranians and calling for war just like they did with osama bin laden after 911
But unlike the zionist christians the iranians are NOT a suicide cult
The iranians have a bright future aligned with the BRICS they do not need to do anything crazy or desperate. It's not in their ancient persian culture to be suicidal
The iranians have NOTHING to gain by attacking everyone
So if there is an attack ignore the mainstream corporate media and realise that the attack is by zionist elements trying to either cause a nuclear conflagoration or to destabilise the region in order to create a greater israel (depending on which type of zionist they are)
Ok another group worth mentioning...but it feels a little wrong to call them 'fanatics' like say the christian zionists (evangelical mass extinction cult) or the progressive 'left' (not true socialists at all but rather STATE-socialists who will blindly lead us into a giant state gulag) is the NEW AGE people
From what i've seen a lot of good hearted and well meaning people are drawn to the new age stuff
But lets not beat around the bush here...it is in many cases a fullblown RELIGION with its own messiahs and everything
many new agers fancy themselves as 'enlightened' and yet they spend all their time listening to new age gurus who ask them for money, thereby showing how they have missed the whole point of the spiritual path which is to develop your potential as a human being to be able to think, feel and act for yourself
The new age movement was spawned from theosophy which has (of course like all these things) its roots in the occult
The writings of madame blavatsky were taken and distorted by Annie Beasant
Annies writings are published by a company called the LUCIS TRUST which changed its name (for obvious reasons) from the LUCIFER TRUST. The lucifer trust has special status within the United Nations which is a prototype world government set up by powerful financial interests who want to destroy democracy and make everyone into the slaves of the financial oligarchs
Annie and others created the 'new age' religion for the age of aquarius
This was also how the catholic church was created (by occultists like emperor constantine who was a member of the sol invictus cult).
The word 'catholic' actually means UNIVERSAL. The catholic church was a universal religion manufactured from pre-existing religions such as those from babylon and various death and rebirth gods such as mithras
Nowadays the catholic church has a movement called ECUMENICISM which is about pulling all the worlds religions together into a new world religion for the new age and the new world order that the banking oligarchs want to create
So are the bankers the only people involved?
No
They are part of a network made up of the royal families of europe, the 'black nobility' (who are the aristocratic families of europe who have close ties to the vatican), the vatican (and its various militant orders like the jesuits, opus dei and the knights of malta) and the ashkenazi banking families who have historically performed banking duties for the network
These people created the UN and they created the new age religion for the new age of aquarius in which they want to create a NEW WORLD ORDER
This new world order is one where there is NO DEMOCRACY and the people are basically worker drone slaves for the occultic elites
This network manipulates through trickery, violence and bribery and threats the worlds major religions of: islam, christianity and judaism; they also manipulate and control institutionalised freemasonry
They control all these groups and play them off against each other as and when it suits them to do so (they profit from war through various means like banking war loans, weapons manufacturing, oil contracts, logistical supplies and even construction contracts)
I'm not a 'marxist' but i think marx said some pretty prudent things. he said religion is the 'opiate of the masses' and the new world order is creating its own new religion to control and pacify the people as they force them into their new system
They use their money to set up and control new age gurus who then manage the perceptions of their various devotees
What they achieve through this is that they convince large numbers of new age types that they do not need to do anything in the world but sit back, meditate and buy new age products
This is disasterous for the freedom of mankind because many of the people drawn into the new age movement are good hearted people who genuinely want to see a better world
These good hearted people however are invariably quite sensitive types (probably often certain personality types) and they have a lot of difficulty processing the horrors of the information about what is really going on in the world as it explodes out across the internet in a tidal wave of whistleblowing
Revelations about satanic pedophilia in governments and banking frauds aimed at enslaving the populations and information about poisons in our food and air and water and vaccines and so on is incredibly unsettling and disturbing for people, many of which do not want to face the full reality of it
These people then find soothing voices in the new age movement that tell them that everything is going to be ok and that there are aliens who are helping us and will save us and that we don't need to do anything to save the world or ourselves
Now regardless of whether or not there are aliens or galactic truth vibrations the reality is that even if those things affect PEOPLE it's still the PEOPLE that must then affect the change
WE ARE THE CAVALRY
It is upto US THE PEOPLE to change the world with a united groundswell of grassroots activism
The pleadians are not going to land tomorrow and zap the baddies
WE HAVE TO SAVE OUR PLANET AND OURSELVES
So the problem with the new age movement is that it neutralises many good people by stopping them playing a pro-active role in bringing about positive change in the face of oligarchic aggression
So new agers aren't really doing much harm but they aren't doing any good either
They are in stasis whilst the bad guys are stealing their planet from under them
Another fanatical group you will hear on the forum is the atheists!
These guys will tell you adamantly that there is no god or anything to reality beyond the phsycial and in the same breath tell you how depressed they are!
Of course you’re depressed you’re spiritually bereft! You are suppressing part of your being; no wonder you feel there is a hole there
These atheists have created their own faith based religion (or anti-religion) where they BELIEVE there is nothing more to existence
If they were honest though they would admit that they don’t know and therefore they should at the very least say they are agnostic
But they prefer to be dogmatists
While there is exploration ongoing into the nature of our reality it strikes me that the prudent position to take is one of open minded curiosity as we explore the possibilities whether it be mysticism or string theory or ideas of a holographic universe etc etc
There is a quote commonly attributed to 33rd degree freemason and war criminal (also involved in the KKK) Albert Pike who is said to have said, whislt predicting a 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] world war:
“We shall unleash the nihilists and the atheists and we shall provoke a great social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to all nations the effect of absolute atheism; the origins of savagery and of most bloody turmoil.
Then everywhere, the people will be forced to defend themselves against the world minority of the world revolutionaries and will exterminate those destroyers of civilization and the multitudes disillusioned with Christianity whose spirits will be from that moment without direction and leadership and anxious for an ideal, but without knowledge where to send its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer brought finally out into public view. A manifestation which will result from a general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and Atheism; both conquered and exterminated at the same time.”
Hmmmm well whether or not you believe that quote was his we certainly do seem to have seen the unleashing of atheists and nihilists
Lets hear the bit of the quote before that part where it is said he said that war is to be fomented by:
‘’taking advantage of the differences caused by the "agentur" of the "Illuminati" between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion…’’
Hmmmm yeah that all seems to be happening too!
Marxism which is being used by the bankers to subvert western society is a MATERIALIST world view intent on the destruction of religions
It is used by powerful financiers like the rothschilds who were influenced by SABBATEANS like Jacob Frank
Sabbatteans believe in inverting everything and subverting and perverting all societal mores
If there is something society believes is wrong the sabatteans will set out to do that as part of their dark belief system
Sabbatteans will also pretend to be other religions to hide amongst them and become the 'synagogue of satan' of the bible
And it certainly seems to be the case that the world is now upside down with religions demanding war and death, governments suppressing the people, the police brutalising the public, medicine poisoning the public, education dumbing down the public and so on as Matt Damon puts it here:
Look if society wants to get wiser they need to move away from the one line soundbites and slogans that their slavemasters have conditioned them to be used to through their corporate media and they need to start exercising that muscle in their head called their brain so that they are able to read and process more than a few lines of information in one sitting
I just summarised some very complex things down into relatively short posts and I'm being accused of not being concise?
You could not properly explain those things in less words
Bare in mind also that I'm not speaking to just one aspect within people
Your 'intellect' is only your left brain.
But intelligence is being able to use both your left and right brain together
The heart also forms part of our thinking apparatus and I'm speaking to that also
