Before the Dark Ages most of what was termed Western
Civilization featured The Nobility as the only class of people that really
mattered anywhere.

These 'privileged' people were of elevated rank supposedly
because of their wealth, their education or just because they were born
into that class.

This principle followed the Judeo-Christian Ethic to
the extent that human society needed to mirror the paternalistic character
inherent in their view of the Universe. One God equaled one man in charge
and this pattern is repeated all the way down the line to the 'family'
which is the most basic form of that empirical thought.

In the thousands of years of recorded history, societies
have always had their own hierarchies wherein titles may differ but the
functions inside the societies remain the same.

This seems to be true
of countries, of religious movements, and remains active in both social
and political thought as well.

However this is no longer the same world
that elevated that system of special privilege to prominence: and given
our current global crisis-a total re-evaluation of this concept must be
examined.

It is true that all people are not equal; but it is also
true that society no longer needs to be governed like a flock of sheep
by 'shepherds' whose only interest seems to be how best to use them to
extend their own powers.

"Flocks" are about the herd mind: people
are about individuals and values that show themselves in that variety
of ways that people have come to view the various worlds that each of
us inhabits.

This creates several questions:

"The New World Nobility" in the 21st Century

Why does anyone still "need" the nobility-be
it in the form of entitled-persons, Corporations, religious leaders, Kings
or especially Dictators?

Before language there was a need. Before the written
word there was still a need: yet with the advances in science and technology
of today, especially with the access enjoyed by the planet, to the internet,
those days of pomp and circumstance supported by celebrity and reinforced
by envy and greed-have really become archaic relics of a time gone by.

This is especially true of the idea that certain people are by nature
"better" than other people.

In every major rebellion since the
dawn of time-the first people to be killed were always "The Nobility."

this should tell us all something very critical about ourselves.

Unfortunately,
after-the-revolutions, people always seem to recreate the same failed-formulas
that led them into slavery in the first place.

The world needs to break
this addiction to the idea of "privileged- classes."

Freedom is not a privilege it's a birthright

Without personal freedom what is living worth?

Conditioning to this idea is inherent in the
right of the Nobility-to rule over the lives of others-and this seems
to be the motivating rule that dictates this ancient and outmoded concept.

Why do
supposedly free people seem to revert to sacrificing that which is most
precious to them, personal freedom & real security just to obtain
some kind of menial job?

Americans have a secret love-affair with Monarchy (the
one-strong- man idea).

Since we are a nation of immigrants, we have no
native blood-lines from which to create legitimate 'royalty' from.

Instead
we have adopted the next-best thing which is the face-less but all powerful
corporations-The Corporatocracy has thus become our stand-in for the Noble
Class.

To some this may seems far-fetched, but let's look at
the trade- offs that the Corporatocracy currently demands from its wage-
slaves, versus what those long-dead tyrants did to their serfs and ordinary
slaves.

Whenever anyone takes 'a job' they are not paid for what
is expected of them, because if that were true people would be paid for
a 24-7 day work-week, and not for the pittance of time they actually rent
to their employers.

Think about it: Employers now demand control over
virtually every aspect of their employee's lives.

All your habits, known
associates, schooling, family life, even and especially your political
and religious beliefs as well - each and every part of you is subject
to the approval of your employer, on some level and some employers are
much worse than others!

Those of us who know who we are and what we're worth
will not give- in to that kind of tokenism regardless of the cost.

The
rest of the 'workforce' for its part seems far too craven, far too willing
to change anything that the all-mighty employer demands of them.

This
proves that we are no longer free; because far too many of us have capitulated
to the dogmas and doctrines of those faceless entities that virtually
OWN our lives!

On top of all of that, what these twenty-first century
owners end up paying us, is basically an insult to anything of consequence!

Do the math - even at the ridiculously low rates that
are actually paid: if you are being paid for only 40 to 60 hours a week
versus 168 hours a week; that's a huge difference! This clearly marks
the difference between what you're renting to the employer, and what
that same employer is demanding, in addition to what you are actually
being paid for.

This is your skills and your time, versus "giving"
The Corporatocracy total control over your every thought, word and deed.

Should not this actual difference in the levels of control over your own
life be paid for? Then why not demand it!

The owners can do this because people buy into the idea
that they must please, in every possible way, the faceless entities that
hired them.

Free people do NOT do this-because free people have choices
about what they do to earn a living and in how they chose to live their
lives.

Free people do not capitulate to secret governments,
or to the idea that certain individuals are naturally superior to all
the rest of us.

In a Republic all governmental functions must be transparent,
just as any 'national-security-considerations' must be extremely limited
with a publicly recognized oversight-control that reports openly to the
public, on every action taken by the SECRET government.

On February 17, 2006, in a speech to the Council on Foreign
Relations, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld spoke of the harm being
done to the country's security, not just by the enemy, but also by what
he called "news informers" who needed to be combated in "a
contest of wills."

In 2002 Attorney General John Ashcroft announced his
desire to see camps for U.S. citizens deemed to be "enemy combatants."

A Defense Department document, entitled the "Strategy
for Homeland Defense and Civil Support," has set out a military strategy
against terrorism that envisions an "active, layered defense"
both inside and outside U.S. territory. In the document, the Pentagon
pledges to "transform U.S. military forces to execute homeland defense
missions in the . . . U.S. homeland." The strategy calls for increased
military reconnaissance and surveillance" (1)

Risk & Sacrifice under the New World Nobility

The Noble Class excuse for the need to go to WAR relies
on the idea that they have too much to lose by not launching pre-emptive
attacks.

While those who 'fight' these modern-day colonial wars of aggression
only need to risk their lives: Which person has more to lose, the Owner
or the slave?

The middle-class consists of all those people who must either
pay for the wars, or those who will become road-kill in countries around
the planet-wherever the New World Nobility decides that its "interests"
might be threatened.

Today the treat levels, against the people of the United
States, have reached a fever pitch in both money spent and threats 'identified'
by the Owners.

"Over 800 concentration camps are reported throughout
the United States, all fully operational and ready to receive U.S. Prisoners
who disagree with the government.

The concentration camps are all staffed
and manned by full-time guards, however, they are all empty. These camps
are to be operated by FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) when
Martial Law is implemented in the United States (at the stroke of a Presidential
pen and the Attorney General's signature on a warrant).

The camps have railroad facilities as well as roads leading
to and from the detention facilities, many have airports. Like Auschwitz,
some of the camps have airtight buildings and furnaces.

The majority
of the camps can each house a population of 20,000 prisoners.

Currently,
the largest of these facilities is just outside of Fairbanks, Alaska.
The Alaskan facility is a massive "mental health" facility and
can hold approximately 2 million people.

Following the Halliburton subsidiary KBR (formerly Kellogg
Brown and Root) announcement on Jan. 24 that it had been awarded a $385
million contingency contract by the Department of Homeland Security to
build detention camps, two weeks later, on Feb. 6, Homeland Security Secretary
Michael Chertoff announced that the Fiscal Year 2007 federal budget would
allocate over $400 million to add 6,700 additional detention beds (an
increase of 32 percent over 2006.

What is interesting in the Homeland
Security plan is that each concrete prison bed costs $60,000 per bed!
Observing these concentration camps and general jail and prison facilities
throughout the U.S., the Homeland Security plan is clearly buffered to
build significantly more than 6,700 additional beds." (2)

All people must eventually die, the question is how many
of us will come to that finality without actually having lived!

"The European Union is a 'monster' that must be
destroyed, the sooner the better. Nothing will happen and no-one will
go to jail. Today you can still do that. But I do not know what the situation
will be tomorrow." ­ Vladimir Bukovsky

"But fight we will, for we are English and we are
brave, and their losses will unexpectedly great." - MJ

At a time when the European Union, having fully implemented
every single provision of the Schengen Convention that allows for passport-free
access from within and (in many cases) without the borders of this monstrously
burgeoning Soviet Empire, having concomitantly no problem with permitting
a near unrestricted flood of asylum seekers and economic migrants from
Asia and North Africa, who arrive in vast numbers to seek welfare benefits
and black market jobs, one is forced to consider a more sinister reason
for the explosive growth of concentration camps that are now to be found
in every corner of this despised amalgamation of formerly free and sovereign
nations.

According to a December 30, 2007, report by the International
Herald Tribune, 'Obscurity and confinement for migrants in Europe', reporter
Caroline Brothers [somewhat misguidedly] reported on the reactivation
of former Gulags and concentration camps throughout the length and breadth
of Europe ostensibly to deal with unprecedented numbers of 'unwanted migrants'

a claim that can only bring a smile of derision to the faces of long-suffering
native Europeans who are now considering themselves an ethnic minority
in their own homelands.

"The total known capacity for all the 'closed' EU
camps is 30,871, according to [a] European Parliament study," Brothers
reports.

"When 'open' camps, to which 'asylum-seekers' [my parenthesis]
are obliged to return at night, are included, the total rises to 40,979
....

Bilateral agreements, raising concerns about dubious alliances and
human rights violations, have given rise to camps in peripheral states
like Morocco, Tunisia, Ukraine, Libya and Turkey.

Governments are reluctant to admit to their existence,
let alone permit entry to the camps; a reporter was denied access to centres
in Greece and the Canary Islands of Spain;

under the government of Silvio
Berlusconi, Italy barred even the United Nations refugee agency from its
centre on the Italian island of Lampedusa. The current prime minister,
Romano Prodi, allowed the agency in.

The camps are concentrated along Europe's eastern and
southern borders, while a large swathe of them runs east-west through
Poland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Germany, according to Migreurop,
a network of researchers and lawyers that has mapped the phenomenon."
[1]

The article continues to describe the horrific conditions
in which so-called 'illegal migrants' are held prior to deportation, and
yet all of the enquiries I have lodged directly to members of the German
Bundestag and its press department for the 'Ausschuss für Menschenrechte
und humanitäre Hilfe' (Human Rights Committee) and a direct question
to Jean-Claude Thebault, the Deputy Head of the European Commission, have
lead me to believe that such detention centres either do not exist in
the form they have been described or are intended for unspecified purposes,
necessarily to be activated during what some MEPs have surreptitiously
(and off-the record) described as an "unforeseen emergency".

Such denials, of course, are par for the course, yet
I was unable to ascertain further, despite persistent questioning of a
number of delegates I know personally at Strasbourg, the exact nature
of any unspecified 'future emergency' that would presumably see the activation
of 40,979 concentration camps,

of which a large number are discreetly
hidden from view in the British Isles, and which are mandated in their
ordinances by stipulated detentions of up to 18 months.

There is a much discussed yet largely assumed unwritten
protocol that informs discourse in the Federal Republic of Germany that
deems it highly impolite, even bordering on illegality, to suggest that
Germany ever exercise her democratic right to withdraw from the European
Union.

The acclaimed writer and journalist, Juergen Roth, even informed
me, as far back as 1997, that political agitation to the effect of German
secession from the EU could be met with imprisonment.

In fact, there is
no assumption about it. It is illegal in Germany to propose withdrawal
from the EU.

The undemocratic and unratified Lisbon Treaty, far from
abolishing the death penalty (which in any case I feel is appropriate
for murderers, lying politicians, bank fraudsters, war criminals and
rapists) makes specific provision for the death penalty to be exacted
only against those exercising their democratic rights in rebelling against
the European Union during a time of 'war or social emergency'.

I wonder
what sort of twist a corrupt Jewish lawyer such as Blair's former English-hating
Attorney General Lord Goldsmith could spin on such a clause?

Does not
a burst water pipe constitute a social emergency? The exact wording states:
"In a time of war or during a period in which a war is imminent,
or in the face of social discontent or a revolt, which must be repressed,
the death sentence is deemed fully legitimate." [2]

Something which the awfully trustworthy Gordon Brown,
his predecessor the child-killer Tony Blair, or your Your Fucking Highness,
the demonic, treasonous 'Queen' Elisabeth, singularly failed to tell you
poor munchkins as they sniggered over the details of the illegal Lisbon
Treaty.

And munchkins you will always be in their world of 500,000-dollar
luncheon speaking fees.

Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and the entire House of Windsor
represent the kind of traitors no civilised nation on earth would tolerate
for more than five minutes.

Fortunately for those of us who love our
own people and, with patience and due forbearance plan ahead, a resurgent
Republican and Independent England is still one of the finest producers
of properly greased, eight-coiled hangman's rope.

Although the unlawful Lisbon Treaty, which received neither
the assent of the people by means of a democratic referendum or a fair
and open public debate in the Bilderberg and Zionist-controlled media
that purports to inform European opinion, does technically allow England
to withdraw from the nightmare socialist superstate into which we have
been led like drugged animals on a leash,

the penalties for such an act
of defiance, so they say, would far outweigh any short-term benefits,
for sanctions would be imposed by a triumvirate of EU, ASEAN and NAFTA
power blocks, all of whom are now forming the basis of an integrated New
World Order police state against which only the brave would dare to fight.

But fight we will, for we are English and we are brave,
and their losses will unexpectedly great.

Vladimir Bukovsky, a man who personally witnessed the
full horrors of what it is like to live as a dehumanised slave in a Godless,
socialist system of humiliating and soul-destroying tyranny, recently
warned the people of Europe that they are sleep-walking into a fascist
nightmare greater than anything the world has ever experienced before.

In a frank and impassioned interview with the 'Brussels
Journal', Bukovsky warned that the European Union is a "monster that
must be destroyed, the sooner the better, before it develops into a full-
fledged totalitarian state." [3]

As a harrowed survivor of some 12 years imprisonment,
including his subjection to physical and psychological torture, Bukovsky
finally gained access to the definitive blueprint that informed the founding
basis of the European Union in its sinister and slippery transmogrification
from the somewhat benign EEC into a politically correct socialist, quasi-fascistic
dictatorship that will make the USSR look like a good-humoured cricket
match on a dismal but promisingly sunny day.

Bukovsky, knowing that only the people of England have
in them the fight to bring an end to the fascist monolith that threatens
to destroy their freedoms and the happiness of their children and grandchildren,
enjoins them to defy the traitors in Whitehall and Westminster by refusing
to pay their taxes, saying, "Nothing will happen and no-one will
go to jail. Today you can still do that. But I do not know what the situation
will be tomorrow with a fully fledged Europol staffed by former Stasi
or Securitate officers. Anything may happen."

"We are losing time," he continued. We have
to defeat them. We have to sit and think, work out a strategy in the shortest
possible way to achieve maximum effect. Otherwise it will be too late.

So what should I say? My conclusion is not optimistic. So far, despite
the fact that we do have some anti-EU forces in almost every country,
it is not enough. We are losing and we are wasting time."

Not even the Americans, those who once held themselves
up as the proudest of the free, published one word of his chilling warning.
I wonder why?

I shall end on this note. I am an Englishman who left
England in 1992, deeply disillusioned at the way in which my people, the
salt of the earth and the finest race of men and women that has ever
walked the face of this planet, was being sold into a slavery based upon
salacious and hollow economic enticements and a perverse consumerist culture
of cheap lies and instant gratification.

I have watched from afar the
moral and physical degeneration of a folk once destined to achieve everything
that was theirs as of right, written in the stars from yonder the arrival
of the first Celt on English soil.

I have seen my people despoiled by an influx of aliens
who loathe and detest the essential beauty and incomparable creativity
of the English and Celtic peoples, and I have witnessed the sharp intellectual
and moral decline in my brothers and sisters whose place is at the top
of the world, not at the bottom of a anti-human dung-pile of social and
cultural filth.

Since then I have lived among your kinfolk, the Germans,
whom you have falsely been taught to despise by those of a hostile non-
European demonic race who own the publishing houses and Hollywood, run
the financial markets, write the history books, and own the electronic
media you consume daily.

I now see little difference between any of our
Celtic and Saxon races, for you have sought homogeneity not in the strengths
of what once made you culturally magnificent genotypes but in the commonalities
of what seem to me the least worthy aspirations any kind of thinking human
being would entertain as even remotely conscionable.

If there still be within you in the spirit that once
marked you out as English and proud of it, if there yet be within your
soul a flame that burns with indignant anger whenever it perceives the
flabby incursions of obscenely grotesque liars and traitors such as the
Walrus Brown and his piggy horde of obese socialist trough- nosing parasites
and his equally treacherous butt-lickers who sit fat-arsed with suitably
farting eloquence on the benches of Her Decrepit Majesty's Disloyal opposition
benches, then, for at least once in your television-addicted lives, take
a sledge-hammer in your hands and smash the edifice of the disingenuous
constructions that stand between you and your dignity as a proud and free
people.

The time for polite remonstrations is over. If you, People
of England, wish to remain free and regain your nation for yourselves
once more, you must fucking fight like you have never fought before,
neither less fierce as patriots during the civil war or with less resilience
against a blitz financed by double-dealing Zionist murderers who played
brothers against brothers.

Although I am an old man, and in no position
to lead you, I shall even abandon my cabin on the border of Switzerland
to join you in your fight on the streets of London against the lying scum
that have made fools and children of God's finest people.

But if you will go willingly go into one of the 40,979
concentration camps that await those not wholly enamoured of the impoverished
and intellectually castrating social-fascist European Union that beckons
you with the politically correct sly politics of wall-to-wall digital
pornography and the titillating promise of perpetually unrealisable televisual
illusions, then you are neither my countrymen, nor human beings worthy
of the name, and I shall therefore disown you.

No Englishman who has tasted the scent of a strawberry
field on a warm summer's day, or who has written unrequited romantic tomes
dedicated to the English maiden who broke his heart but mended his strength
and stemmed his tears with beer and cheer, or who sallied for a day a
two across pastures and meadows without once being challenged to show
his 'papers' to an officiously uniformed gendarme, or came happenstance
upon misfortune to be guided by those who owed him no fealty other than
the common badge of his Englishness will never, ever, succumb to the slavery
of the Soviet European Union.

Under the sunlit skies of a gilded July morning, and
lightly kissed in the fruitful and mellow mists of an oaken November evening,
there is only one England, destined once more to be everything she was
meant to be; and in that land lovers will dream dreams and children will
tell tales and old folks will smile in fond remembrance and dutiful thanks
for what otherwise could have been.

Michael James is a retired ex-journalist and translator
who left England in 1992. He now lives alone in an isolated log cabin
directly on the border of Switzerland and Germany.

A Crisis in Democracy: Are We Going Bankrupt?

By John W. Whitehead

Thursday, 21 February 2008

“Our country is insolvent, and bankruptcy will come.”
—Congressman Ron Paul (R-Tex.)

I’ve never seen our country in worse shape—culturally, constitutionally or financially. Marriages and families are falling apart, our liberties are being eroded and the U.S. economy is in serious trouble. We are, as author Robert B. Reich noted in a recent New York Times editorial, “totally spent.” All we’re managing to do now is keep our creditors at bay.

The U.S. trade deficit has reached record highs in recent years.

Gas prices, which have largely contributed to trade deficit woes, have led to higher prices in transportation and other goods.

The bursting of the home price bubble has triggered a crisis in U.S. housing finance.

This has led to a sharp spike in foreclosures, as well as heavy losses at major banks, a pull-back in the market for securitized debt and a credit crunch worldwide.

With the value of the dollar plummeting worldwide, America is, in effect, now on sale at discount prices to foreign countries.

For example, a record $414 billion was invested by foreigners in the U.S. economy in 2007, with much of it coming from sovereign wealth funds, vast pools of money controlled by anti-democratic governments from China to the Middle East.

The fact that our nation is nearing bankruptcy has become what David Walker, comptroller general of the United States, calls “the dirty little secret everyone in Washington knows.”

Most politicians, says Walker, are aware of the impending financial crisis but reluctant to do anything about it. After all, it is not politically expedient to increase taxes or trim spending, but this is exactly what needs to be done.

Walker also argues that health care, a political promise rolling off every candidate’s tongue, is by and large the most prominent issue, five times bigger than Social Security.

And Walker calls the 2003 measures that included Medicare prescription drugs “probably the most fiscally irresponsible piece of legislation since the 1960s.” This bill, Walker says, was “eight trillions dollars added to what was already a 15 to $20 trillion under-funding.”

Walker, who recently resigned after serving as the government’s chief internal watchdog for a decade, concludes that the nation’s “current standard of living is unsustainable unless some drastic action is taken.”

But, as usual, when we leave the problem-solving to the politicians, what we end up with is bigger government, more bureaucracy and a larger federal deficit, which is projected to total $410 billion for 2008. (The national debt, which is the total amount of money owed by the government, is currently estimated to be over $9.2 trillion.)

We are living in a house of cards that’s on the verge of crashing around us, and yet most Americans remain oblivious and continue to spend beyond their means.

But, as Reich notes, “That era is now coming to an end. Consumers have run out of ways to keep the spending binge going.”

Hoping to continue the spending a little longer, Congress passed a $168 billion stimulus plan made up of personal tax rebates and business tax cuts.

While some Democrats criticized the plan, fiscal conservatives expressed grave doubts that the measure is too little and will reach consumers and businesses too late.

Former congressman Jack Kemp asserts that “rebates haven’t worked in the past…and won’t work in the future,” as they reward past production.

Other critics have voiced the concern that such a costly measure merely serves to increase the already burgeoning national deficit.

While the nation’s financial woes are grave, a recession will impact more than Americans’ pocketbooks—it will impact our very freedoms. After all, economic security and freedom go hand in hand.

In his book, A Free Nation Deep in Debt, James MacDonald, an investment banker, discusses the relationship between democracy and economic development: “Democracy (even in its most partial and imperfect form), is a system in which the citizens control the state. As long as democratic states borrow from their own citizens, their good credit is simply a reflection of the virtual identity of borrower and lender.”

Unfortunately, as economist James Galbraith explains, “The American citizenry has lost its pride of place as creditor of the American state.

Today, financial intermediaries hold about 37 percent of U.S. public debt; Japan and China, along with other countries, now hold about 30 percent.

The proportion of U.S. debt owned directly by Americans has fallen to below 10 percent; in 1945 (when the debt was more than twice as large in relation to GDP as now) citizen-creditors just about held it all.”

But that is no longer true, and “for all practical purposes, the venerable marriage between public credit and democratic government, so vital a factor in the history of the world, has been dissolved.”

Galbraith concludes: “If MacDonald’s thesis is right, the disappearance of the citizen-creditor forces a question. Can democracy survive when its financial roots have been cut?

The scale of public debt is not the issue, but its ownership is.

Can a country—whether the United States or any other—be truly democratic if it is in hock to banks and foreigners? ...To put it bl
