A researcher was asserting on C2CAM the other night that the British Crown controlled assets worth $80 Trillion--that's with a T, folks. And that the Rothschild Bankers family controlled/had assets worth $300 TRILLION. All devoted to bringing about 1 world government. I forget the total figure estimated for the globalists totally but I think it was around $800,000,000,000,000--or $800 TRILLION if I counted my 0's right.

I'm not sure there's that much money on the entire planet.

So how did that work out? Apparently not well, because this is the first I had heard about it.

I should like to correct this common misunderstanding of the origins of the "Eisenhower" Interstate Highway System. The military utility of the system was not the primary motive or purpose for it. However, the military rationale served two political needs in enacting the law:
1) It gave constitutional justification for the federal program;
2) It reflected and used for promotion of the road the national hysteria over the Russian H-Bomb.
Certainly Ike was committed to the military benefits of the road system. However, the military use was more catalyst than core purpose. And remember this: for military transport, the highways were redundant and relatively ineffective: the biggest and most efficient "road" system to move troops across the country was started by Ike's Republican ancestor, Abraham Lincoln and his Transcontinental Railroad.

People so easily forget that railroads are roads. The railroad system in this country was and still is amazing. It was built with public grants to private enterprise, and it built a nation. See here for a fabulous 1906 New York Times editorial praising Huntington's Southern Pacific line, which he built using public grants and "watered" stock:

"The Road of 1000 Wonders" (**warning: pdf file!)
The Interstate Highway system was launched by Congress by a coalition of the AAA (which had been lobbying for this system since 1911), New Dealers and their philosophical allies (who had long tried to build a national road system), and, most importantly, States that had not built their own highways. Those States turned to the federal government to pay for highways that the more advanced states had already built (mostly using privately-floated bonds financed by tolls).

Again, the military component of the system was rationale and a distant secondary impetus to the primary motives and purposes of the System, which were political.

And why would anyone be stupid enough let a few million uninspected containers in from Mexico (or anywhere else) to Kansas City?

Because they can.

You haven't heard much about it precisely because the railroad connections to Mexico were effective.

There's a whole history of railroad building to/from Mexico. The various U.S. lines and regional interests competed in it strenuously. Come the automobile and you have highways joining the battle. Plans for Mexico to Canada routes were first discussed in 1911. The first successful North American transnational highway was the Pan-American highway. Promoters and detractors of it argued along the same lines as we are seeing today over this project.

Btw, railroad projects were in direct competition to sea ports. Furthermore, a huge motive of the Panama Canal was to compete with the railroads. Theodore Roosevelt, a regulatory freak, argued directly that the Canal would effectively diminish the power of the railroads, which he saw as a good thing. The railroads responded by opening lines directly to Panama, straight through Mexico.

We can go back through ancient history for similar stories. There's truly nothing new under the sun.

According to a weekly Conservative magazine published in the US, the US administration is "quietly yet systematically" planning the massive highway, citing as a benefit that it would negate the power of two unions, the Longshoremen and Teamsters.

Yes, integrating with Latin America will help to get rid of the pesky and uppity unions. El Salvador was the most successful in doing it.

Who knows what's true. But there are persistent reports from a diversity of sources.

And some of the best researchers in the field believe at least some of such stories--especially between highly secret sites.

Oh, the ET's provided the slick drilling technology. I forget but I think it is some variation on a plasma drillhead somewhat akin to the big drill machines that drilled under the English Channel but a lot slicker.

It reportedly leaves the walls smooth as glass, if not literally glass.

I wondered, too.

However, I have ran across an assertion--I think just one or two sources so far--that the NWO folks plan to give everyone some massive amount of ready cash in the 10's of thousands after canceling everyone's mortgages etc.

Presumably also after the population reduction plans. And, presumably also after receiving the required SLAG--chip implant.

And don't forget, they are in charge of the illegal drug trade as well as reaping major profits in many sectors of the globally controlled economies.

Could be. On the Art Bell show(George Noory)they have a report of an alien bore hole somewhere up in canada that goes down so far it's like...no bottom. Plus some guy claiming there's a whole trog civilization down there, 26 miles below WA state, with GLACIERS! Ah well, where's the line between fantasy and reality?

The timing of this and the *illegal immigration* issue is very interesting. Whoever's trying to sell this lacks PR and marketing skills. It's more like 'in your face'.

The TTC has been in work for the past two or three years at least, and probably longer.

It's important to look at all of the pieces; TTC, Bush's globalist views, lack of any interest to control the borders and the illegal invasion.

True.

Have long expected the truth in our era to increasingly become stranger than fiction.

Would be a cool place to take something like a 1968 Buick Wildcat or even a 1981-1987 Regal/Grand National Turbo and open them and see what they will do. However, in a nutshell, this is part of the New World Order agenda, so I'll pass. I guess I-79 will have to do if I ever get my mitts on those cars. B-)

Supposedly there are maglev tube trains already running for the elite deep underground . . . at least between many US centers of power but some claim even globally.

Sounds like something out of Gene Roddenberry's "Genesis II" (1973).

Hadn't read that one. Will be on the look out for it.

I should have qualified the "for the elite" phrase . . . not that they take such trains for their travel . . . but that the shadow government and black ops folks ship lots of stuff that way--say--move people and materiel that way.

What do I know.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's true. I wouldn't be that surprised if it's total disinformation. Though I have a hard time understanding who would profit if it's total disinformation--beyond selling a few books.

I suspect that when this past century and the building one are finally thrown open so that the thoughts and intents of every heart and mind and the deeds of every hand are totally exposed . . . there shall be a long list of shocking revelations.

And if the Texans heard you make your silly argument, I suspect you would be making your points swinging from the tight end of a good sturdy Texas rope.

What the United States needs is a massive new highway and infrastructure system so Walmart can import more Chinese crap here, more economically.

Well, it was actually a TV movie, supposed to be a pilot for a then new Gene Roddenberry TV series back in 1973.

Genesis II

It was about a man frozen in 1979 and wakes up in 2133 and one of the main plot devices in the movie was a maglev underground tube system that supposedly ran across the nation, maybe the world. From what I've seen it is meanted for people only but I guess you can transport vehicles like motorcycles up to something the size of a World War II Jeep if you had to as well as limited cargo. World be useful in a military situation for transporting small teams of Special Forces or Green Berets.

There was a sequel, Planet Earth (1974)

What do I know.

Same here. B-)

I wouldn't be surprised if it's true. I wouldn't be that surprised if it's total disinformation. Though I have a hard time understanding who would profit if it's total disinformation--beyond selling a few books.

I have a pet theory, I admit it is way out there but I suppose it could be plausible and true. Take the TV series, "The Six Million Dollar Man," sometimes I think it could be a ruse as a coverup to the reality that bionics like that even back in the 1970's were real and "the powers that be," "The Government," The "Shadow Government," or "The Man" (my father's favorite term) somehow dropped a hint into some TV exec's ear to make a show about it. Sort of like hiding things "out in the open" That way if someone brings up gsecret government research into bionics, then someone would say, "ya, you watch too much TV" and get rediculed even if there are some things that would point to that.

In some ways, we are a lot like the Soviet Union was, except in the case of the USSR, they can lock you up in the hoosegow or an asylum but in a society more "open" like ours, you can't do that so the only tool left is redicule. Even in the USSR's later years (late 1960's onward) as they were more open, as compared to earlier years, they used redicule as well much like we do.

Then again, what do I know? B-D Still, it sure often looks that way when it seems like we are making progress for the common man/woman and we end up getting screwed everytime by the rich elites. one thing for certain, power is never easily given up so moving from the light to the shadows for them to keep it is the thing to do.

I suspect that when this past century and the building one are finally thrown open so that the thoughts and intents of every heart and mind and the deeds of every hand are totally exposed . . . there shall be a long list of shocking revelations.

I'm sure you're right, I hope we live long enough to see it exposed and hopefully have a much better and just society as a result of it.
