Our Occulted History: Do the Global Elite Conceal Ancient Aliens? (34 page)
Health advocate Mike Adams, on his popular website, pointed to a number of problems in our food. He noted that two thirds of all fresh chicken meat sold in grocery stores today is contaminated with salmonella; diet soda is laced with aspartame; “natural” corn chips are made from genetically modified corn plants linked to widespread infertility; processed meats are laced with cancer-causing sodium nitrite; and everything from soups to salad dressings is “enhanced” with MSG. Supporting his allegations with many studies and news reports, Adams also pointed out that the high-fructose corn syrup used to sweeten sodas and thousands of other products causes diabetes and is often contaminated with mercury. He also noted that Chicken McNuggets are made with a chemical used in silly putty and the soy protein used in most protein bars is extracted using a highly toxic explosive chemical called hexane. “The FDA says nothing about all this,” he added. “Instead, the agency wants you to believe that the real danger in the food supply is found exclusively in raw dairy products which contain no additives or synthetic chemicals, by the way.” Those who attempt to deal in farm-fresh and organic food and milk now are finding themselves at the end of government guns as the number of armed arrests targeting real food continues to rise, even including the pacifist Amish.
Adams’s concern may be well placed: male sperm counts have been dropping throughout the world for several years. A paper published in the
Internet Journal of Urology
stated, “There have been a number of studies over the past 15–20 years which suggest that sperm counts in men are on the decline. Since these changes are recent and appear to have occurred internationally, it has been presumed that they reflect adverse effects of environmental or lifestyle factors on the male rather than, for example, genetic changes in susceptibility. If the decrease in sperm counts were to continue at the rate that it is then in a few years we will witness widespread male infertility.”
Two recent studies published in the journal
Fertility and Sterility
concluded that men taking drugs, such as the anti-impotence drug Viagra, could be damaging their sperm and lowering their ability to conceive. Another study, published in an environmental journal, the
Ends Report
, point to chemicals like dioxin as culprits in lower male sperm count.
If we’re not getting chemicals from our food and water, then there’s a good chance we’re getting them from pills. Nearly half the population of the United States today is taking some kind of drug, according to studies—and we’re not talking about illegal drugs. One recent analysis by the
Los Angeles Times
based on government statistics showed that prescription-drug-induced deaths have become so prevalent that their average yearly total now exceeds the number of deaths caused by traffic accidents. This number does not include illegal drug overdoses.
Despite the ever rising cost of health care in America and despite the fact that Americans score better than most other nations in major measurements of health—such as lower percentage of tobacco smokers, lower alcohol consumption, and lower cholesterol levels—health-care-induced fatalities are the third leading cause of death, just after heart disease and cancer. These deaths occur from unnecessary surgery, overmedication, and other mistakes in hospitals, and from adverse effects of prescription drugs.
If one of our most prized institutions—medicine—is so great, how do we explain the use of armed SWAT teams to force people to take its pharmaceuticals, as happened to Maryanne Godboldo in 2011. Godboldo is a Michigan mother who was surrounded in her home by armed police—with a tank outside!—after refusing to allow her thirteen-year-old daughter to be injected with Risperdal (risperidone), a controversial schizophrenia drug that had already caused severe adverse reactions in her daughter. Three courts finally ruled that her refusal was legal and ordered her daughter returned to her after the girl had been taken by the state. Godboldo had joined a growing number of persons concerned over the increasing number of inoculations, questionable therapies, and psychiatric drugs being forced on a gullible and ignorant population.
Poisonous food and water? When such issues are linked with the publicly expressed support for population reduction by the wealthy elite, it would appear that such activities are part of an agenda to reduce the human population.
As far back as 1977, notable academics Paul R. Ehrlich, Anne Ehrlich, and John Holden were advocating reducing the world’s population through unsavory means. In their book
Ecoscience
, these authors promote involuntary abortions and sterilization by infertility chemicals placed in food and drinking water to rid society of those they believed contributed to “social deterioration.” They also advocated an armed international police force to enforce a “planetary regime” over a global economy and social activities.
Holden, in April 2009, then serving as director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and co-chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, suggested spraying heavy metal “pollutants” into the upper atmosphere to retard perceived “global warming,” lending strong support to those researchers who claim that such a program, involving the globally observed chemtrails, has already been under way for years. Barium oxide and aluminum oxide, both harmful to the human respiratory system, have been identified among other substances as composing the chemtrails.
Could all the above be a ploy to kill off “undesirables”? In years past, the pseudoscience of eugenics was used to excuse murderous depopulation schemes. Few today realize that the theological and scientific basis for the Nazis’ eugenics beliefs originated in the United States, particularly in California, long before the Nazis came to power in Germany. By 1900, thirty states had laws providing for the sterilization of mental patients and imbeciles. At least sixty thousand such “defectives” were legally sterilized.
Soon after the Nazis rose to power in Germany, they adopted similar techniques against those they considered unworthy of life. These programs and attitudes eventually led to the Holocaust. Edwin Black, author of
War Against the Weak: Eugenics and America’s Campaign to Create a Master Race
, described how the Rockefeller Foundation helped create the German eugenics movement and even funded the program that included “research” by the infamous Josef Mengele before he became the “Angel of Death” at Auschwitz. “Eugenics would have been so much bizarre parlor talk had it not been for extensive financing by corporate philanthropies, specifically the Carnegie Institution, the Rockefeller Foundation and the Harriman railroad fortune,” wrote Black. “They were all in league with some of America’s most respected scientists hailing from such prestigious universities as Stamford [
sic
], Yale, Harvard, and Princeton. These academicians espoused race theory and race science, and then faked and twisted data to serve eugenics’ racist aims.” Many of these same families and firms helped finance Adolf Hitler and his rise to power.
It seems clear that the leadership of the new world order wants a good portion of humanity dead. When Henry Kissinger was the secretary of state, he directed the 1974 National Security Study Memorandum 200, which surveyed the populations of the world. This report, as well as the Global 2000 Report drafted during the Jimmy Carter administration, and the royalty-supported Club of Rome study, all call for population reduction. Thomas Ferguson, a former Latin American case officer for the State Department’s Office of Population Affairs, once stated, “There is a single theme behind all our work—we must reduce population levels.”
In a 1981 interview, Maxwell Taylor, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and a prominent member of the Council on Foreign Relations, advocated population reduction through limited wars, disease, and starvation. He blithely concluded, “I have already written off more than a billion people. These people are in places in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. We can’t save them. The population crisis and the food-supply question dictate that we should not even try. It’s a waste of time.”
As if reading from Taylor’s script, England’s Prince Philip was quoted in
People
magazine as saying, “Human population growth is probably the single most serious long-term threat to survival. We’re in for a major disaster if it isn’t curbed—not just for the natural world, but for the human world. The more people there are, the more resources they’ll consume, the more pollution they’ll create, the more fighting they will do. We have no option. If it isn’t controlled voluntarily, it will be controlled involuntarily by an increase in disease, starvation and war.” Years later, Philip showed that this was not simply wishful thinking but a call to action, when he mused, “In the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, in order to contribute something to solve overpopulation.”
Such views correspond to those expressed on the mysterious Georgia Guidestones—the authorship of which is unknown—located in Elbert County, Georgia. The very first admonition on these stones is “Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.”
Because the public cannot be counted on to voluntarily give up its freedoms and privacy, a complex and tangled set of laws must be put in place to regulate citizens. A police state must be created to force compliance with ever extending and sometimes overreaching laws.
An effective police state requires constant and intense surveillance. New vehicles are being equipped with in-car tracking devices like OnStar. Intersections, even in rural areas, are being equipped with traffic lights in place of stop signs. While this change may seem like a public service, it is being funded by the new Department of Homeland Security, and many lights now come with cameras that include radio frequency identification (RFID) chip readers and even facial identification software. Police, who once wore blue uniforms with patches bearing the motto T
O
S
ERVE AND

, now wear black combat suits and are increasingly becoming militarized. The trend toward a militarized police force began many years ago, when President Richard Nixon declared a “War on Drugs” in 1968. Then in 1981, President Ronald Reagan signed the Military Cooperation with Law Enforcement Act, allowing the military to give local, state, and federal police access to military bases, research, and equipment. By 1988, the National Guard was conducting drug raids on city streets and using military helicopters to search for marijuana crops. In 1989, when President George H. W. Bush assigned the Department of Defense a larger role in the drug war, Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney declared, “The detection and countering of the production, trafficking and use of illegal drugs is a high priority national security mission of the Department of Defense.” Such use of the military, which caused little criticism when linked to the Drug War, nevertheless began a movement in government to disregard the Posse Comitatus Act, a law passed in 1878 preventing the U.S. military from policing the civilian population. The law was passed following the shameful experience with martial law under Reconstruction.
A 1994 law authorized the military to donate surplus equipment to local police forces. Since that time, millions of pieces of equipment—from weapons and grenade launchers to armored personnel carriers and helicopters—have been handed over for use against the civilian population. These actions flagrantly disregard the Posse Comitatus Act. In the Huffington Post, Radley Balko noted that “the problem with this mingling of domestic policing with military operations is that the two institutions have starkly different missions. The military’s job is to annihilate a foreign enemy. Cops are charged with keeping the peace, and with protecting the constitutional rights of American citizens and residents. It’s dangerous to conflate the two.”
Such arming of the police engendered a rise in Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) teams, whose forces more than doubled in the years between 1980 and 2000 in cities with fifty thousand or more people. “In 2002,” Balko reported, “the seven police officers who serve the town of Jasper, Florida—which had all of 2,000 people and hadn’t had a murder in more than a decade—were each given a military-grade M-16 machine gun from the Pentagon transfer program, leading one Florida paper to run the headline, ‘Three Stoplights, Seven M-16s.’ ”
Recent legislation has only furthered this trend. “In the 10 years since the terror attacks of September 11, 2001, the government has claimed a number of new policing powers in the name of protecting the country from terrorism, often at the expense of civil liberties,” Balko wrote. “But once claimed, those powers are overwhelmingly used in the war on drugs. Nowhere is this more clear than in the continuing militarization of America’s police departments.” Balko noted that delayed-notice search warrants, commonly called “sneak-and-peek” warrants that were part of the PATRIOT Act passed strictly as antiterrorism legislation, have been used in a terror investigation only fifteen times between 2006 and 2009. Yet during that same time period, such warrants have been issued more than sixteen hundred times in drug investigations.
Following the attacks of 9/11, the new Department of Homeland Security began adding funding for more military equipment to police arsenals. On the website AntiWar.com, Stephan Salisbury and Nick Turse pointed out,
So much money has gone into armoring and arming local law-enforcement since 9/11 that the federal government could have rebuilt post-Katrina New Orleans five times over and had enough money left in the kitty to provide job training and housing for every one of the record 41,000-plus homeless people in New York City. It could have added in the growing population of 15,000 homeless in Philadelphia, my hometown, and still have had money to spare. Add disintegrating Detroit, Newark, and Camden to the list. Throw in some crumbling bridges and roads, too.
