People are dying in the Middle East. Thousands more will die before the year is out.

It doesn't matter that some are Palestinians, Israelis, Iraqis or Americans. It doesn't matter that some are soldiers or civilians.

All are ordinary people who want to live their lives in peace.

All are held hostage by "leaders" Bush, Sharon, Arafat-- who are puppets of a sinister force that uses war to murder and enslave mankind.

All wars are against humanity.

For example, almost 60 million people died in the Second World War. The "leaders" on both sides were groomed and armed by the same sinister force. This force consists of the shareholders of the Federal Reserve and the European Central Banks, dynastic families that include the Warburgs, Rothschilds, Rockefellers, Loebs, Lehmans, Morgans, Schiffs, Schroders, Harrimans and members of the European aristocracy. (The queen just knighted Allan Greenspan.) These people control much of the world's wealth but they want it all.

Paul Warburg (1868-1932) exemplifies how they work. Warburg was a German banker who was sent to America in 1904 to create the Federal Reserve System. He became a citizen in 1911, was a member of the Federal Reserve Board from 1914-1918 and president of its Advisory Council from 1918 to 1928.

At the same time he was a director of the US subsidiary of I.G. Farben, the Wall Street-created cartel that financed Hitler and built the Nazi war machine. The US subsidiary also engaged in propaganda and espionage work for the Nazis in the United States. Warburg's brother Max was a Director of German IG Farben. (See Antony Sutton's book, Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler, which is online.)

With the establishment of the Federal Reserve System in 1913, European financiers finagled the right to create money based on the credit (taxes) of the American people and then loan it back to the government. Most of our income tax goes to paying the interest. Now the financiers must enslave us more for fear we will cancel this monopoly and default on the debt. One reason for "New World Order" and "world government" is to prevent any nation from doing this.

All wars are designed to advance the financial interests of the elite and to control and distract the civilian population.

The upcoming war with Iraq is no exception. It is designed to steal oil, trample Islam and integrate the Middle East into the New World Order. Picture a new freeway from Jerusalem to Baghdad with Taco Bells at every exit ramp and quaint Arab villages with souvenirs for sale. Last week Ariel Sharon said Israel's strategic and economic future depended on the "regime change" in Iraq.

"The Report from Iron Mountain" (1963) was a top-level study to investigate other ways to control the population. They were unable to find an alternative to war.

Bush's "War on Terror" is a hoax in this tradition. There was no credible investigation into the discrepancies of Sept. 11. (i.e. no Arab names on the passenger lists; "hijackers" alive and well in Morocco.) There is no evidence that a passenger jet crashed into the Pentagon. Billions are spent on "homeland security" when there hasn't been a "terrorist" attack in eleven months.

How should we react?

"It's the political oppression that bothers me more than the economic depression," someone said on a gold stock bulletin board. "Not being able to speak freely or read a free press or being spied on. Now that constitutes my idea of hell. I don't intend to go quietly into that good night. I don't think open aggression is the answer. I think simple defiance is. Resistance, not attack."

Mahatma Ghandi (1869-1948) pioneered the concept of "passive resistance." For us, this would involve a refusal to participate in anything that furthers the New World Order.

Bob Schultz is championing a "Freedom March" and a tax revolt. He has shown that the income tax is a fraud: we are paying for our own enslavement.

Catherine Austin Fitts, an investment banker and former Assistant Secretary of Housing in the first Bush administration, says the financial statements of the federal government are not in compliance with the law.

"The same companies that helped the corporations, are helping the federal government to cook its books," Ms. Fitts told me. She calls Washington "a criminal enterprise" and is looking for ways in which taxpayers could pay taxes into an escrow account in order to force the government to obey the law.

Realistically, the general public is not going to awaken unless things get much worse. Unless the Iraq war is long and messy, or there is an economic crash after the November elections, the public will continue to slumber to the media lullaby.

We might as well prepare. Ms. Fitts told me an Argentine style bank closure could happen here. Perhaps we should take our money out of the bank and pay down our debts. Imagine if after a crash, the banks started to foreclose on mortgages.

We should continue to educate ourselves about the New World Order and network. Let's invite acquaintances to our homes to see one of Mike Ruppert's or Alex Jones' videos. Let's join fine organizations like The John Birch Society. Lets remind our political and media actors that we know they are reading from a fascist NW0 script. Let's learn about Islam and reach out to Muslims in a spirit of brotherhood.

The human race is one family. All wars are against humanity. The enemy is not Saddam Hussein or Osama bin Laden. It is the international financial elite, and their political and media lackeys.
