Tell Your Representatives to Keep Obama Out of Syria

Fortunately, cooler heads seem to be prevailing as America looks poised to engage diplomatically with Russia and Syria to prevent the outbreak of World War 3 in the Middle East. Copy and paste this letter to your representative and tell them to keep it that way. We the People stopped another illegal war from happening in Syria simply by withdrawing our approval for it. Now's the time to keep the pressure on the government that's been forced on us and keep us out of any further foreign entanglements. Your Senate and Congressional members contact info can be found below:

Dear (Senate of Congressman's name here),

            I am writing to urge you to support Rep. Walter Jones’ resolution to impeach Barack Obama if he pursues any form of military action in Syria without Congressional approval. I am also writing to urge you to vote against any form of military action on behalf of the US in Syria.

It is illegal and immoral for the Unites States to engage in wars of aggression against other states that have not attacked Americans. Any other course of action that excludes diplomacy can only be regarded as a war crime. Our good name has been dragged through the mud the world over after years of immoral warfare in Iraq and Afghanistan, and our leaders have unscrupulously supported war criminals who have allied themselves with the likes of the Muslim Brotherhood and Al-Qaeda in Egypt, Libya, and now Syria. Americans will no longer stand silent when faced with the prospect of another costly and outrageously immoral war. Won’t you stand with us against the powerful war lobby and bring our troops home? It’s time for America to heal and tend to the grievous wounds she has suffered from endless warfare and a protracted recession created by big banking special interests.

            Please hold Mr. Obama accountable if he commits treason by attacking Syria without the consent of representatives, and pledge to withdraw your consent for any military action in Syria.

            Respectfully,

            (Your name and location)

Wedding Poetry

I have returned, friends, from a rather protracted absence that has seen my wedding and honeymoon. I'm happy to announce that my new wife and I are settling in nicely. I wrote this poem on the occasion of my wife's birthday, but it fits the theme of an epithalamium. Epithalamiums are not traditionally written by the groom, so I adopted the voice of a kindly well-wisher to the bride. Admirable efforts at the form can also be found below. As always I am indebted to the sapphires of their imagery that I have shamelessly burgled from their unguarded estates.

Epithalamium

            Beneath the wedding bough

            Spring the saplings of this union.

            Their branches twine together, hand in hand,

            Their veins become the midnight kissers.

            The mad hour of cake,

            Handshakes, and pictures

            Is the baroque pageant for something else.

            For a oneness cutting rivers through a field.

            This ceremony: a cup to taste that river

            Whose polishing fluve will

            Surely rust away the wedding rings

            That are mere baubles of this eon’s pageant.

            Your love gathers it’s lakes into oceans

            Where you will drink everlasting

            To feed the wide, eternal oak

            That only yesterday was two saplings.

I just finished G. Edward Griffin’s classic book The Creature from Jekyll Island: A Second Look at the Federal Reserve, and I can’t overemphasize how important and explosive the information in this book is. The title is a bit misleading. This is not just a book describing the history of the Federal Reserve. This is a historical, political tour-de-force that uncovers how central banking has secretly influenced world history for hundreds of years. This is the story that the school history books forgot to tell you. In this one book you’ll learn all about:

            -How the Federal Reserve is in truth a private bank whose sole purpose is to benefit huge multinational foreign banks by giving them complete control of the supply of money in nearly every country in the world.

            -How central bankers hate honest money backed by gold and silver because it prevents them from printing money out of nothing and giving it away for free to their friends. Meanwhile the cost of all of this free money is absorbed by the average citizen through the hidden tax known as inflation.

            -How central bankers have funded both sides of nearly every major war since Napolean, and have helped build nearly every dictatorship in history. The Nazis, the Soviets, and Mao Tse Tung were all funded by the western banking establishment located in New York, Paris, and London.

            -America’s secret battle against central banking since the foundation of the republic. The Federal Reserve is, in fact, America’s third occupation by foreign central banks.

            -How only a few aristocratic families control nearly all of the money in the world. They are a secretive clique who will not stop at fame and riches. Their ultimate goal is none other than the collapse of every major economy through the poison of hyperinflation. This is designed to impoverish the public so they will accept a one-world currency controlled by a global government that will be governed by a small group of unelected technocrats.

            Originally published in 1994, with a few later editions, this book reads like prophecy in the 21^st century. Every major problem that the world faces today (centralization of federal authority, surveillance of peaceful citizens, out-of-control public debt, war, and totalitarianism) can be explained by the corrosive influence of central banking. The hijacking of our money supply has enabled the worst elements of our society to infiltrate our government and our sacred institutions at the executive level. The central banks have deployed their agents through secret societies that masquerade as non-profit foundations and public policy “think tanks.” Groups like the Council on Foreign Relations, the Tri-Lateral Commission, and the Bilderberg Group are the inventions of central bankers bent on planning world domination.

            They have implanted their puppets at the highest reaches of our government, military, media, and education establishments, and are committed to systematically eroding the Constitution and Bill of Rights, and bankrupting the economic, spiritual, and mental lives of our citizens to institute a New World Order that will be a megalithic, fascist state in total control of the lives of every person on the planet.

            Because I believe that this book is so valuable in explaining how our world truly functions, I would like to make you an offer. I will gladly buy you a copy of this book and ship it to your home FOR FREE if you promise to read it, share it with your family and friends, and ten pledge action to stop the march of mega state-capitalism in our time. If you are interested, please email me at michael.gillham@hushmail.com. My funds are limited, so I can’t promise that your copy will be delivered in a timely manner, but I will do my best. If you would like to make a contribution of whatever you think is fair towards the purchase of your book I would greatly appreciate it.

            Also, I’d like to recommend the film Invisible Empire that features G. Edward Griffin and can be viewed for free on YouTube. This is an excellent introduction for people who would like to learn more about how government really works and who really pulls the strings. It’s also a great way to wake up your friends and family.

            History is what we make of it, friends. If we accept that all civilizations eventually become corrupt and crumble and there’s nothing we can do about it, then that is exactly what we’ll get. Don’t be complacent or sell out to the system just to be on a winning team. It’s up to us to make a better world for our children and their children after they’ve gone. Get informed, and then get active!       

Poem: Origin

 Right now, I'm reading Jim Marrs' very interesting new book, Our Occulted History: Do the Global Elite Conceal Ancient Aliens? Marrs posits that there is a wealth of evidence that advanced beings once lived on Earth in the distant past. He covers unanswered questions raised by the mysteries of Stonehenge, the pyramids in Egypt and the Americas, man's mysterious origins, and evidence of ancient cultures using advanced technologies. He also discusses how an elite class of international bankers may be covering up the mystery of man's origins to promote their agenda of controlling mankind and the earth's resources. I don't know if I believe everything that this book proposes, but his evidence is fascinating, and knowledge and belief need not always agree. We have been conditioned by our culture (and, yes, by the elites) that belief comes before knowledge, but this is completely anti-intellectual. Carefully considering evidence with a healthy dose of curiosity is how the human intellect matures. Belief or disbelief may come later or not at all. The true intellectual is not without moral convictions, but he accepts that belief is a choice, and he need not believe everything he studies.

Personally, I don't doubt that we have very little knowledge of mankind's origins, and I believe that the elite are promoting their version of man's origins (IE evolutionary Darwinism) as a means of gaining social control. The logical extension of evolutionary theory is the bunkum of social Darwinism that very neatly places man in a hierarchical dialectic. The elite want us to believe that the robber barons of high finance are more successful simply because they're more evolved and we little people are detritus of leftover prehistoric DNA that must be disposed of if mankind is to progress. These beliefs not only have no scientific backing, they are profoundly anti-human and dangerous, and they must be attacked, ridiculed, and ultimately ignored. 

But what is the secret of man's origins? Frankly, I doubt that the global elite have it all figured out, and they use "science" to create an untouchable priesthood class of people who promote the status quo and never consider evidence outside of that. Were we artificially created by a race of superior beings? Your guess is as good as mine. Frankly, it all feels like a grand cosmic joke played on us by our forebears. Which is what this poem is about.  

Origin

            Consider the skull

            wearing it’s garland of roses.

            And remember that grandfather

            hid his mask in the antediluvian shelf.

            The flesh blushes like the rose,

            but the bone remains;

            A scroll that holds the word of God.

            And who is God?

           

            Our sons and daughters

            are the dusty wake of stars.

            And our jesting founders

            play the fiddle with our bones.
