A VERY REAL CONSPIRACY

A Very Real Conspiracy…

Written by JB Williams

©2004-10-07

As an answer to every Bill Clinton indiscretion or any democratic anti-American policy blunder, Hillary Clinton made famous the phrase “right wing conspiracy”. There never was one of course, but it always accomplished the much needed diversion from the endless stream of Clinton scandals by shifting focus off of the immediate scandal, onto the imaginary conspiracy.

However, a very real conspiracy is underway in America today, it isn’t coming from those “nasty right wingers”, and the proof is all around us.

The Democratic Party has been promoting the idea that Republicans intend to steal the 2004 election. The rhetorical theory used to promote this idea is mass voter suppression. The rhetoric reached such a fever pitch that Democrats demanded and received outside international monitoring of the upcoming election, as if we were some third world country struggling with our first election, a move that may forever change our national sovereignty concerning the U.S. election process, and not for the better.

What if I told you that this was no accident? That an evil mastermind who became one of the world’s richest men by crippling the economies of countless nations around the globe, was using his ill gotten billions to control American policy by positioning himself to control the man in the White House?

What if I told you that this evil man has an evil plan for America, a plan that was designed to weaken America by legalizing illicit drug use, promoting free abortions coast to coast, attacking the traditional family unit, abolishing religious speech and gun rights, installing a socialist form of government, outlawing capitalism, and subjecting the governance of the United States to a one world order, under a one world court?

This man exists, his name is George Soros, this is his history, these are his plans, and you better read his book, The Bubble of American Supremacy.

What if I told you he was able to infiltrate one of the two major U.S. political parties, aligning himself with powerful party operatives, buying their loyalty at a time when they would otherwise be given no power at all by the American people through the normal election process?

What if I told you he was able to do so by first successfully pushing for campaign finance reform, then immediately circumventing that reform legislation through a carefully designed web of 527 shadow party organizations set up to outspend and overpower the legitimate election process?

Well he has, his co-conspirators include noteworthy political operatives like Morton H. Halperin, Leslie Gelb, Daniel Ellsberg, John Podesta; Jeremy Rosner, Steven Rosenthal, and others. If you don’t know who these people are, I suggest you search them immediately; they are all part of the far left wing of the Democratic Party, and all powerful party insiders.

Soros was one of the major supporters of campaign finance reform that culminated in the passage of McCain-Feingold, and then the first to circumvent that law through shadow party organization that include 527’s America Coming Together, The Media Fund, MoveOn.org, Center for American Progress, America Votes, Joint Victory Campaign 2004, and The Thunder Road Group, just to name a few.

Most American’s believe these to be innocent grass roots campaign “get out the vote” type efforts led by average concerned American’s, but nothing could be further from the truth. All of these organizations are shadow party groups funded and controlled by George Soros and his band of socialist brothers.

What if I told you that mainstream news rooms across America were working in tandem with these organizations, their backers, and the DNC Kerry Campaign by shaping the headlines to suit the purposes of this so-called “progressive” agenda, in a clear cut attempt to advance their common cause of a socialist America?

If you hadn’t noticed before, it should be clear after watching the events of “memogate” unfold at CBS, involving one of America’s most respected news casters Dan Rather, and his accomplished producer, Mary Mapes.

If that doesn’t convince you, maybe comments from Peter Jennings and Tom Brokaw’s defense of Rather and Mapes will, both of whom are more angered by the fact that CBS was caught, than what CBS did, both of whom are more concerned with what they term “White House attempts to smear Dan Rather” than Dan Rather’s fraudulent attempt to smear a sitting war time President.

What if I told you that the international monitors being brought in to oversee the 2004 Presidential election were corrupt left wing operatives themselves, also interested in removing Bush from office in an effort to bring America to its knee’s in the world community? They are…

What if I told you that an attempt to steal this election is underway, not by anyone’s effort to suppress votes, but rather to count illegal fraudulent votes being manufactured by the Democratic “get out the vote” effort, heavily concentrated in Democratic precincts and American prisons? It is…

What if I told you that the Democratic Party has hired 25,000 attorney’s focused on 17 battleground states where the DNC hopes the vote is close enough to challenge, for the purpose of forcing unsuspecting local election volunteers to accept every voter, legitimate or not? They have…

What if I told you that the Democratic ticket, John Kerry and John Edwards, along with all of these co-conspiracy efforts were publicly supported, in part designed by both the Socialist and Communist Parties based right here in the good old United States of America? They are!

And what if I told you that the mainstream press has no intention of reporting any of this, but rather to continue undermining the President, the war on terror, and the U.S. economy in order to assist with the election of John Kerry?

What if I told you that a vote for John Kerry and John Edwards was a vote to support all of this evil activity, against the will of more than 80% of the troops serving in battle today, and at odds with every soldier who has ever given his life for the freedom’s and liberties we so freely abuse today?

What if I told you that more than 40% of the American voting population intends to do just that? This would be the conspiracy of all conspiracies, wouldn’t it?

What if I told you that the Kerry campaign, the national media, and international terrorists are helping each other? They are, every time terrorists strike, the Kerry camp cranks up their anti-war rhetoric, the national press only covers those attacks, none of the rest of the story, resulting in shaken U.S. resolve and support for the war on terror, and terrorists are rewarded for their efforts. The defeat of their strongest opponent, George W. Bush, being their ultimate goal.

The problem is its ALL true, every last word of it, every supporting link, every accusation, and every piece of this sorted puzzle. It isn’t just a conspiracy theory, it is a real life massive conspiracy intended to unseat Bush at any cost, and bring American power down to a level acceptable to the balance of the world.

The world, in particular members of the EU, is not happy with only one remaining superpower, even when it is America, who has liberated more than 70 countries, including most of the EU nations, and has fed the world for decades.

What if I told you that only you can stop it?

Well, you are the only one who can stop it! By helping to make certain this information reaches the American people, and by casting your vote to defeat these efforts.

No amount of money, no amount of wishing or waiting will make it go away. Only your vote can stop it. Soros supporters will be there November 2nd, every last one of them, even those who have no idea what they are supporting, and don’t want to know.

Do you get it yet?

So why can't more people see this without having a 2x4 hit them upside the head?

Because most have eyes yet see not, and ears yet hear not.

He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

And that's one scary proposition.

From where I sit it doesn't seem like the conservatives in Congress have been very effective. Too many of them are playing a political game. I am thoroughly disgusted by Congress.

Isn't it amazing how Kerry keeps saying.."I have a plan! I know exactly what I am going to do!" Oh yeah? When is he going to share it with anyone and why the hell isn't his base insisting on answers? I am so impatient with the stupidity.

Ask them point blank if they think America can be a succesful Communist nation...you'll be blown away by the responses. The ignorant ones need an educmacation about what Communism really is...so be prepared to provide it.

The only thing anyone needs to remember about evil dumb dums, is that WHEN a Republican, ANY Republican wins an election, it was stolen. The evil Dums can't figure out that people actually hate their fascist policies and agenda.

Turn your question [and assumptions] upside down, and you can begin to understand..

Why would Soros, who has benefited from capitalism, be so against it?

Assume for a minute that he's not "against capitalism", -- that he's just a political idiot who supports the Communitarian view. [They believe we can have socialism in the USA without destroying our Constitutional system.] Millions think so, some right here on FR.

I guess I still don't understand why so many people would be supportive of a socialist plan for the US? Is it purely because of power?

It's because they feel powerless. They can't compete in a dog eat dog full capitalistic system. -- Assume that many of them are right. -- Millions of people have no 'in demand' skills that pay reasonable wages, yet they want a piece of the action.

So Soros wants power, and he sees a power base in catering to the powerless.
-- It's a pretty old political story. -- One I don't lose much sleep over.

Good article that describes the tip of the iceburg. Over the years, FReepers have analyzed the concerted international efforts of leftists to bring down this country.

Most of this is "old news" but the short and sweet article is reality as I have come to know it.

'I have a plan when I win the lottery, but I don't know what it is going to be until I win the lottery.'

That should simplify sKerry's plan.

They best be thinking of what their plan is going to be after they lose. I imagine the 'Breck Girl' will offer his services to Saddam and the sKerry one might have to start looking for another sugar momma after T throws the loser out of the house. Hey, a man's gotta eat, you know. ;>

Soros? He'll just sit back and puff on his Havana for a while. 'Win some, lose some,' marks his philosophy. It's the playing of the game for him -- not the winning or the losing. Maybe he'll get bored with the socialist demo commies and decide he wants to get involved in some real action and become a conservative.

It's a high stakes game and he just might want to be on the winning side for a change. Yes. Time for him to leave the penny arcade and find his manhood in the jungle.

I checked out Amazon.com for George Soros book Mein Kampt
err, The Bubble of American Supremacy, and I noticed there are no reader reviews.
I wonder if everyone has ignored George Soros megalomaniac screed or if Amazon is not permitting reader reviews of the self-anointed one's "Mein Kampt"?

So why don't the media on our side get the huevos to expose more of what is going on? What is really disheartening about this is that when I have directly said to some leftists that they are following socialist dogma, they agree! Somehow many in our society have come to believe that Communism is a good thing!

What is going on a century of communist dogma has convinced these people that they are better than you, are smarter than you, know what is better for you than you do. This what is meant when they are called "elites." They believe they are just plain better than you. The rest of us are just the 'common scum.' The 'unwashed masses.' Flyover country. The hicks. The fools.

This is why Tom Brokaw and Peter Jennings circled the wagons around RatherDan, defended him and attacked the White House. They don't care about the "truth" but only care about the outcome. If it furthers their socialist goals then they support that, no matter what the truth is.

They don't expose it because they are part of it. While there never could be a "vast right wing conspiracy" for logistical reasons, there IS a vast left wing conspiracy that has existed for generations. Hitlery used the term "vast right wing conspiracy" because she was familiar with the concept, because she already knew she was part of the vast left wing conspiracy, so the idea made sense to her.

Yes, many do believe that Socialism/Communism is a good thing. It has taken decades of indoctrination. And you can hear someone like sKerry trading on this every time he says he's going to raise taxes on the rich. Or that Bush is "robbing the poor" to give tax breaks to the rich. Any of the common 'class warfare' slogans. Almost every word that comes out of Al Sharpton's mouth is pure socialist playbook.

They are appealing to those people they have already brainwashed, which is about 40% of the country at this point. But in the MSM it is 5 to 1 socialist and among the Beltway journalists it is 12 to 1. That means that Socialists dominate the news rooms reporting from the Capitol by 12 to 1. And never forget, they are the elite, they are better than you.

Seems to me that many GOPers have been assisting the efforts with silence or quiet little political deals.

This is apparently true. In Santa Cruz County CA, so-called moderate Republicans were former democrats and green party members. They have changed their affiliation, but not their political philosphy, and they have take over the central committee here. Thanks for the PING BTW.

MUSINGS BY MADDOCKS
 
TRANSNATIONAL PROGRESSIVISM
(Part One)
 
by Ralph Maddocks
  
  
          There's a mouthful for you. It meant nothing to me either, until recently when I came across a rather lengthy article by John Fonte, written in 2001, and entitled "The Future of the Ideological War Within the West."(1) To make a very long story short, Fonte claims that elite institutions ranging in size and influence from the National Council of Churches to the United Nations are pushing the notion that "the nation-state and the idea of national citizenship are ill suited to deal with the global problems of the future." They propose abolishing nations and replacing them with a single, global government. Fonte says that, for reasons that are still not completely clear, practically every government in the world appears to have embraced Transnational Progressivism and is working around the clock to make global government a reality.
 
Of Tranzis and fog 
  
          It was David Carr, a London-based Libertarian, who provided the memorable nickname for Transnational Progressivists when he called them "Tranzis." He explained, "A lot of us have known for some time there was something wrong in the world but it was difficult to pin down and put our fingers on. It was something that has no face and no name. Like fog it swirled all around us but not being corporeal we lashed out in all directions, landing blows on nothing. It was like an itch we could never scratch." We used to call these people "the left," and still do I suppose, but many of those pushing this apparently "left-wing" agenda seem to be high-level statesmen, the wealthy and the heads of multibillion-dollar corporations. Their behaviour cannot be explained away in terms of the Marxist "Class struggle." If the Tranzis are indeed leftists, they are so only in the sense that a frog was once a tadpole, having emerged long ago from its pond and jumped on to dry land.  
  
          Fonte is quick to forewarn us that this coming global administration will be no respecter of our freedoms and suggests that some form of racialist police state will be imposed. A state where the elites will encourage the historically oppressed to get even with their former oppressors. He claims that "dominant" groups will be obliged to yield power to "oppressed" groups, with the former being displaced from their jobs in the economic sphere until each category of task reflects the proportion of "oppressed" people in the population. Fonte believes that this will not be the end of it either. The proportion of "oppressed" people in the population will grow constantly. That's because another tenet of this Tranzi-ism holds that "dominant" countries must welcome immigrants from "oppressed" countries in unlimited numbers. Furthermore, if any "dominant" people protest, they will be jailed for "hate speech." 
  
          Looking around our world we can see this beginning to happen with all kinds of laws being enacted to punish those who offend, even just by thinking something the authorities think you shouldn't. It is becoming clear too that these laws are applied to the native "dominant" population rather than to the "oppressed" new arrivals. Examples abound of assaults by "oppressed" people on the persons of "dominant" people being ignored by police. Even replying in kind to a racist comment from an "oppressed" person brings instant arrest and the imprisonment of the offender. The "hate" laws apply to crimes against other groups and to quote a senior policeman, "homophobic and transphobic crimes are seen as particularly serious because they are motivated by prejudice, discrimination and hate, and undermine people's right to feel safe in their sexual orientation and gender."  
  
          As defined by the UK Crown Prosecution Service, "homophobic" means "a fear of or dislike directed towards lesbian, gay or bisexual people, or their perceived lifestyle, culture or characteristics." Incidentally, the word "homosexual" is no longer to be used, apparently because it is seen as offensive. "Transphobic" was not a term I had ever heard before. Apparently, it means "a fear of or dislike towards trans people." And what might they be?  "Trans people," again according to the CPS, is "a phrase which is intended to include transsexual, transgender and transvestite people." A "transgendered" person is someone "whose biological gender is not the same as the gender they own as theirs." So now you know, although how you will ever be certain remains a mystery. 
  
Third Way actions 
  
          Perhaps it is all an outcome of Tony Blair's Third Way view as an international response to the end of Thatcherism and a philosophical claim which he asserts brought the centre-left back into government across the world. Third Way actions though seem to be more like those we saw in Stalin's country, to say nothing of Hitler. It isn't surprising that even comments mentioning Hitler are now found offensive let alone direct comparisons. Judging by the way oppressive "hate" laws are applied in the UK, using the police to investigate your home for evidence to support government paranoia the future does not look promising for any of us who believe in such archaic concepts as "free speech." 
  
          In the UK, a well known TV presenter and Daily Telegraph columnist, Robin Page, was arrested on suspicion of using insulting words that were likely to stir up racial hatred. His supposed crime? He told a rally in September that the rural minority in favour of hunting (a subject of great political interest in the UK these days) should have the same rights as blacks, Muslims and gays. As Mr Page himself pointed out, after six burglaries and break-ins on his farm – when no policeman was prepared to travel the four miles from Cambridge to his farm to take a statement – he found it odd that a policeman was prepared to travel nearly 200 miles to his home to investigate an incident which the policeman seemed reluctant to discuss on the telephone. The policeman then arrested him because Mr Page refused to answer questions without his solicitor being present, questions about what he was not told at the time. Mr Page was then taken to the local police station and thrown into a cell. Unable to feed his cattle from a cell, Mr Page had to agree to be interviewed because his solicitor could not arrive until the next day.  
  
          The interview began with the policeman alleging that Mr Page had  "...started your speech with racist comments." When Mr Page asked what these comments were, the policeman could not supply them but said that they had received a complaint from someone in a nearby town. This is the new Britain, the country where a man was presumed innocent until proven guilty; now – through the power of political correctness – a man is assumed to be guilty until he proves himself innocent. Regular readers will not be surprised to read this since I have been saying this for some time. It is truly surprising though how quickly a supposedly free country can slide into the habits of a police state and how easy it has become to intimidate those who object. As Pierre Lemieux has remarked, in an article written in 1994, "Giving public policy goals – like anti-racism – precedence on individual rights amounts to admitting that individuals have no rights but the ones that are congruent with the government's, or the majority's, agenda."(2) 
  
          Our southern neighbours aren't much better when it comes to the pursuit of those they presume offensive. In 1999, there was an incident in Washington D.C., when one David Howard, an aide to the mayor, was pressured to resign because he uttered the innocuous word "niggardly" to describe a fund he was administering? People, however, chose to be offended by the word's phonetic resemblance to the "N Word," despite Howard's insistence that he "would never think of making a racist remark." As even those with limited literacy skills know, the word's meaning is totally unrelated to the one denoting a racial slur. "Niggardly" means "grudgingly mean about spending or granting," or "stingy." The N word (spelled differently anyway) is a pejorative to describe blacks.  
  
     « Among the main concepts of Transnational Progressivism is the notion that the key political unit is not the individual who forms voluntary associations and works with his fellow citizens regardless of their race, sex or national origin, it is the ascriptive group – racial, ethnic or gender – into which one is born. »
 
          Any etymological dictionary would have revealed instantly that there is no connection at all between the evolution of the two words. Yet, presumably showing his own ignorance or perhaps settling some old score of his own, D.C.'s Mayor Anthony Williams accepted Howard's resignation, explaining to reporters, "I don't think that the use of this term showed the kind of judgment that I like to see in our top management." Williams added that he was "committed to representing all of the people of our city and making sure my administration truly reflects the city's diversity." Our Mr Williams' views on diversity are surely not niggardly. 
  
Creating a cohesive nation 
  
          The recent clamour over Trent Lott's encomium at Strom Thurmond's retirement party proves – if proof is needed – that the First Amendment has been replaced by the race-based privileges of the so-called "oppressed" groups. Ignored in all this furor, in which the Republican pundits and the President were quick to take part, was that Thurmond's main party plank was in favour of "State's Rights." As the libertarian writer, Lew Rockwell, pointed out, fundamentally states' rights are about the Tenth Amendment, not segregation. Strom Thurmond's political movement was looking for a return to the enumerated powers guaranteed to the states by the Constitution. If  Thurmond had won, then we may not have to witness today the spectacle of people being incarcerated by the Federal government for using marijuana to quell their cancer induced vomiting when their home state has legalised its medical use. One is constantly being reminded of Napoleon Bonaparte's remark that, "In politics, stupidity is not a handicap." Nor, apparently is ignorance of history. 
  
          Canada's Criminal Code imposes sanctions against publicly and wilfully promoting hatred (section 319) against an identifiable group. It also allows judges to seize hate propaganda (section 320). But the primary criminal provision available to combat hate propaganda is Section 319 (2), which prohibits the promotion of hatred by "communicating statements, other than in private conversation." This has resulted in a man being fined more than $6,000 for running a newspaper advertisement in which he quoted a verse about homosexuality from the book of Leviticus. 
  
          Among the main concepts of Transnational Progressivism is the notion that the key political unit is not the individual who forms voluntary associations and works with his fellow citizens regardless of their race, sex or national origin, it is the ascriptive group – racial, ethnic or gender – into which one is born. It is from this concept, Forte notes, that we find this emphasis on race, ethnicity and gender leading to group consciousness and a corresponding de-emphasis of the individual's capacity for choice and for transcendence of the above ascriptive categories, joining with others outside the confines of social class, tribe and gender to create a cohesive nation. 
  
          Many will have noticed the rise in the number of "victim" groups emerging into the national consciousness. Groups such as women, blacks, Muslims, gays, Latinos (in the USA) and immigrants or any conceivable combination thereof. This too is part of the "oppressor" groups versus the "victim" groups philosophy espoused by the Marxists, the privileged and the marginalised. As one philosopher remarked, "Multiculturalism is not ‘multi' or concerned with many groups, but ‘binary' concerned with two groups, the hegemon (bad) and "the Other" (good) or the oppressor and the oppressed." This means that "equity" and "social justice" mean strengthening the position of the victim groups and weakening the position of the oppressors – thus justifying group preferences. Equality under the law is replaced by legal preferences for victimised groups. This is illustrated by a recent decision of the US Equal Opportunity Commission which ruled that illegal immigrants as a class are discriminated against, thereby giving them victim status and entitling them to preferential treatment as a group. 
  
          Complicating all this is the assumption that the "victim" groups should be represented in all institutions of society in rough proportion to their percentage of the population. So theoretically, if women represent 51% of the population and Spanish speakers represent 10% of that same population then 51% of all executives, doctors, salespersons, professors, etc., should be women and 10% of them should be Spanish speakers. Introduce other variations such as sexual preferences, colour and physical characteristics and it is not hard to imagine the complexities which may result. Even the US Park Service has expressed concern that 85% of all park visitors are white, although whites are only 74% of the population. No consideration apparently being given to the possibility that many of those visitors do not belong to the US population in the first place. The Park Service has announced that it is working on this "problem." 
  
          The "Tranzis" insist also that it is not enough to have proportionate numbers of minorities (including illegal and legal immigrants) and women in major institutions, if these institutions continue to reflect the "white Anglo male culture and world view." These ethnic and linguistic minorities, they insist, have values and cultures which must be respected and represented in these institutions and they should not be expected to conform to the dominant culture. At a conference promoting bilingual education, SUNY professor Joel Spring was quoted as saying, "We must use multiculturalism and multilingualism to change the dominant culture of the United States." He added that, unlike Anglo culture, Latino culture is "warm" and would not promote harsh disciplinary measures in the schools. 
Fonte's paper was rather lengthy and contains a great deal more material explaining how the Transnational Progressivists are challenging the existing world view, so reviewing his remaining points will have to be done in a second article to be published later.
