The Secret Government

[proud2BlibKansan]

Dear friends,



If you've taken the time to explore some of the vast amount of reliable, verifiable information on WantToKnow.info, you have very likely come to the conclusion that there is a powerful shadow or secret government which manipulates global politics behind the scenes. Government bureaucracies are known for their inefficiency, yet it is their very well-organized and hierarchical military and intelligence services through which those involved with the secret government are able to implement their secret plans.

In the 22-minute PBS documentary available for free viewing below, host Bill Moyers exposes the inner workings of the secret government. Though originally broadcast in 1987, it is even more relevant today. Interviews with respected, top military, intelligence, and government insiders reveal both the history and secret objectives of powerful groups in the hidden shadows of our government.

The text of "The Secret Government" is also provided below for your convenience. Please help to strengthen democracy and educate others by spreading this important information.

For another powerful, highly revealing documentary on the manipulations of the secret government produced by BBC, see http://www.WantToKnow.info/powerofnightmares (view free at link provided). The intrepid BBC team clearly shows how the War on Terror is largely a fabrication. For those interested in very detailed information on the composition of the shadow or secret government from a less well-known source, I recommend the thorough summary at: http://www.drboylan.com/shadgovt2 The information given in this summary closely matches my own extensive research into the subject

1. I have to say, I'm amazed that this is finally getting some

publicity. I had been taught about this back in the 80's. My own father who was a lifer in the military knew about this. Think BIG oil and you have an enormous amount of the 100 or so men and their families who rule the world. Amazing.

6. My hubby was in

army security. This doesn't surprise him in the least.

4. Poly-Sci professor at our local college, who is sometimes a

guess speaker, at our local Democratic club meetings, has said the same thing. It's time we spread this around to anyone who will listen and help do the same.

28. I have been doing JUST THAT!

I wish everybody would do the same. Everybody on my Christmas Card list got an essay, articles, terms to google, and list of books to read. Each card required 5 stamps they were so heavy. I mailed out 60. If you e-mail folks, they just delete it. If you snail mail it, they will open it and they will read it. Slowly but surely they will begin to connect the dots.

7. I believe "W" is a pawn, and more importantly a DECOY of the SG.

He represents the contempt with which those who run the SG hold our Constitution and We The People.

If the world of politics and media actually worked the way we are supposed to believe it does--that the men and women most qualified to lead our country are fairly represented by a free press and fairly elected by legal, Constitutionally established procedures--no human being such as George W. Bush could get elected to such a high office. His lies and many foibles would have been exposed long ago.

As it is, however, "W" is the 'perfect' pResident for the SG. He comes from one of the preeminent families, deeply involved in intelligence, national security and MIC for at least three generations. He obviously likes to play 'dress up' and to 'act' the part of the President--not a real President, not a real leader, but act the part of one as it might be imagined by someone who doesn't understand that a real leader thinks about things deeply and takes the care of an entire nation to heart. But most importantly, the function of "W" in the white house is to hold the public's attention transfixed in such a way that, love him or hate him, one seldom looks beyond his presentation. After all, he "is" the pResident of the United States of America, isn't he? The buck stops there, doesn't it?

I don't think so.

...knowledge brings responsibility. If we acknowledge that an inner circle of ruling elites controls the world's most powerful military and intelligence system; controls the international banking system; controls the most effective and far-reaching propaganda network in history; controls all three branches of government in the world's only superpower; and controls the technology that counts the people's votes, we might be then forced to conclude that we don't live in a particularly democratic system. And then voting and making contributions and trying to stay informed wouldn't be enough. Because then the duty of citizenship would go beyond serving as a loyal opposition, to serving as a "loyal resistance"—like the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War, except that in this case the resistance to fascism would be on the side of the national ideals, rather than the government; and a violent insurgency would not only play into the empire's hands, it would be doomed from the start.

Forming a nonviolent resistance movement, on the other hand, might mean forsaking some middle class comfort, and it would doubtless require a lot of work. It would mean educating ourselves and others about the nature of the truly apocalyptic beast we face. It would mean organizing at the most basic neighborhood level, face to face. (We cannot put our trust in the empire's technology.) It would mean reaching across turf lines and transcending single-issue politics, forming coalitions and sharing data and names and strategies, and applying energy at every level of government, local to global. It would also probably mean civil disobedience, at a time when the Bush regime is starting to classify that action as "terrorism." In the end, it may mean organizing a progressive confederacy to govern ourselves, just as our revolutionary founders formed the Continental Congress. It would mean being wise as serpents, and gentle as doves.

It would be a lot of work. It would also require critical mass. A paradigm shift.

10. "He obviously likes to play 'dress up'"

yep.

I expect that Cheney et al. like having him out there doing the photo ops - they don't have to mess with it - for the most part. And Bush* wouldn't be doing anything useful, anyway....

[Beam Me Up]

15. He's an unstable personality type--a loose cannon--and they'd better be

careful with him. He could 'snap'. He rally does *believe* that he IS the President of the United States not only with all the powers that that implies but MANY MORE. And his self-image is very scrambled. I don't think he can keep his 'role' clear as a 'role'. Everyone addresses him as "Mr. President." He insists upon it. He has a bevy of SS agents around him 24/7. He gets to meet with dignitaries from around the world. He gets to have planning and strategy meetings with big wigs. Meanwhile, something else is going on over which he has no control what so ever. If I were him, I'd be even more paranoid than I am.

[BamaBecky]

30. I agree. And I know it's a lot of work. I have been working at it!

8. thanks for the links

It is esp. interesting to see what Moyers had put together back in the 80's. And it just gets worse. :(

[proud2BlibKansan]

17. It is scary

isn't it?

12. Thanks for the links

With all the lies coming out, I feel more Americans would except this possiblility as a reality than before.

[proud2BlibKansan]

19. I hope you are right.

[bloom]

16. See:

31. Thanks for the Bill Moyers special.

No wonder the puppet masters hate him. He tells the truth.

[proud2BlibKansan]

34. You are welcome

Moyers has been on Book TV this month. Great speech.

[Pachamama]

32. Wow, that sure explains a lot! Looks like I now have the answer to why

all the things that are happening are happening! It seems that since around WWII, we have been a nation employing Nazis, Mercenaries and supporting overthrows of anyone who even dared to challenge corporate industries (Fruit Co. in Guatemala) and Oil in Iran. Looks like torture and killings by mercs has been our CIA and Secret Gov't's specialty.

So how and why should I or anyone be surprised by what is transpiring now? Its the same old, same old....

:scared:

So now the question becomes: Do we let this continue to be our Nations legacy? :eyes:

33. Find a copy of "The Secret Team", by L. Fletcher Prouty....lots of details

36. Interesting, to bad about the UFO/ET references

in one of the links you supplied http://www.drboylan.com/shadgovt2.

I do think there's such a thing as a secret global government, but i don't think it is very likely we're being visited by ETs. Possible in principal, yes - but i have seen no evidence. Lots of anecdotes and claims, but no evidence.
I rather prefer the explanation of UFO stories as disinfo, as purported by Dave Emory http://www.wfmu.org/playlists/DX
