AMAZINGLY, IN JANUARY 1945, with their cities in ruins from round-the-clock Allied bombings, German war production was actually higher than in 1940, the year of spectacular military successes. Germans were still heading off to work each day, and production facilities, many moved underground, were producing at record capacity.
Historians have faithfully recorded the reasons for this—propaganda and hidden terror. The official, controlled government news bombarded the public with assurances that there was light at the end of the tunnel. New secret weapons were coming on line, they were told, and this, as has been noted, was not a total lie. According to their media, God was on their side and all would end well.
There also was the knowledge, only heard in whispered rumors, that anyone who spoke out about the true state of Nazi Germany would disappear into the offices of the Gestapo, likely never to be seen again.
The globalists have learned from the Nazis of the Third Reich how to employ these methods to ensure obedience from an intimidated public. From the constantly changing terrorist alerts and color codes in public places, since September 11, 2001, Americans have learned to live with fear. Unspoken fear is rampant in many levels of contemporary American society, and it is not all caused by unknown foreign terrorists. Fear of government harassment and surveillance is widespread.
Beginning with the still-controversial assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., on through the 2002 fatal plane crash of Minnesota Democratic senator Paul Wellstone eleven days before an election—whose seat was then taken by a Republican, which created a Republican majority in the Senate—the trail of dead dissidents, witnesses, accusers, and whistleblowers has grown longer with each passing year. Just as in the days of the Third Reich, if any individual threatens to become too popular or brings too much attention to the fascist activities, they seem to disappear from the scene quickly. One such person was Republican Texas senator John Tower, whose Tower Commission was highly critical of the Reagan-Bush handling of the Iran-contra scandal, and Tower had confided to friends that he planned to write a tell-all book. Tower, who had chaired the powerful Senate Armed Services Committee and the Republican Policy Committee, was killed in a plane crash at Brunswick, Georgia, on April 5, 1991. Other persons who died under suspicious circumstances included Clinton White House counsel Vince Foster, whose July 1993 death was ruled a suicide, and James McDougal, a convicted partner of Bill Clinton in the Whitewater scandal, who was a source of insider information to prosecutor Kenneth Starr. Foster’s body was found in a park with a pistol still in his hand. McDougal died of an apparent sudden heart attack while being held in solitary confinement in a Fort Worth federal institution. Others, while not actually killed, have been shot or intimidated from running for office, such as former Alabama governor George Wallace and 1992 presidential candidate Ross Perot, who publicly stated his reason for dropping out was concern for the safety of his family. With the protection of the FBI, CIA, Secret Service and U.S. military, who did Perot have to fear?
Thanks to the modern surveillance state, many members of Congress find themselves susceptible to blackmail by damaging information from any number of government and corporate databases. It is reminiscent of the many allegations that former FBI director J. Edgar Hoover—perhaps with files from Interpol, as previously discussed—blackmailed government employees and congressmen into supporting his agendas. All too often, this type of coercion is more effective than campaign contributions.
BUT IT IS not only Congress members who find themselves at the mercy of increasing surveillance and control.
Beginning in December 2009, Americans will face the prospect of carrying their “papers” to conduct daily life, similar to the identity papers demanded by the Nazi Gestapo. Under provisions of the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense, the Global War on Terror, and Tsunami Relief (2005), popularly known as the Real ID Act, for all practical purposes, a national identity card will be required of every citizen. Today it has become unlawful not to provide identification documents to a police officer upon demand. The sheer act of failing to properly identify oneself can today result in arrest and jail.
Under the pretext of combating terrorism, this law requires national standards for state-issued driver’s licenses as well as nondriver identification cards. It specifically states that no federal agency can accept any state ID card or license unless it meets the requirements as stated in the Real ID Act. Since the Transportation Security Administration provides security at airports, anyone without identification compliant with Real ID Act may be unable to fly on commercial aircraft. And as the federal Social Security Administration requires states to maintain a new-hire directory, employers would no longer be able to hire anyone without a Real ID Act–compliant document. Of particular concern to libertarians is the requirement that all financial institutions would be required to accept only Act-compliant IDs. Customers without such federally approved documentation could be denied financial and banking services.
This thinly disguised nationwide citizen-registration law languished in a hesitant Congress until it was attached as a rider to a military spending bill and signed into law on May 11, 2005. In 2007, perhaps in light of several states passing legislation opposing the Real ID Act, it was announced that enforcement of the law would be delayed until December 2009. In 2007, states that opted out of the Real ID Act were told their citizens might not be able to travel freely around the country.
Author Steven Yates is a teaching fellow at the Ludwig von Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama, a research and education center of classical liberalism, libertarian political theory, and economics. Following the intellectual tradition of Ludwig von Mises, a renowned economist who has been called the “uncontested dean of the Austrian school of economics,” the institute supports publications, programs, and fellowships. Yates noted, “It is a testimony to how much this country has changed since 9/11 that no one has visibly challenged [national IDs] as unconstitutional and incompatible with the principles of a free society.” He and many others see the slow encirclement of law-abiding U.S. citizens with national ID technology advancing a globalist agenda while doing little if anything to safeguard us against terrorism.
However, many legislators, such as Representative Jane Harman of California, seemed agreeable to citizen registration. She stated: “I think this issue must be looked at. We don’t automatically have to call it a national ID card, that’s a radioactive term, but we can certainly think about smart cards [such as driver’s licenses with chips] for essential functions, but we need the database to support that.”
This need for a national database, so necessary for Hitler’s euthanasia and extermination programs, was addressed in the USA PATRIOT Act, which authorized $150 million in tax money for the “expansion of the Regional Information Sharing System [to] facilitate federal-state-local law enforcement response related to terrorist acts.” Asked if she thought the public was ready for such measures, Harman replied, “I think most people are really there. Keep in mind that if we have a second wave of attacks, the folks who are raising objections will probably lose totally.”
What disturbs many thinking people is a vision of the near future in which, should the feds decide to stifle dissent, they could “freeze” the dissident’s assets by reprogramming his database information. Scanners would not recognize him and he would become officially invisible, unable to drive or work legally, have a bank account, buy anything on credit, or even see a doctor. “Do we want to trust anyone with that kind of power?” Yates asked.
Lest anyone think this is naive or even paranoid nonsense, consider that in late October 2002, Applied Digital Solutions, Incorporation, a high-tech development company headquartered in Palm Beach, Florida, announced the launching of a national promotion for its new subdermal personal verification microchip. The “Get Chipped” promotion was describing a device that can be implanted under a person’s skin to transmit data to various locations. The
“VeriChip,” according to company literature, is “an implantable, 12mm by 2.1mm radio frequency device…about the size of the point of a typical ballpoint pen. It contains a unique verification number. Utilizing an external scanner, radio frequency energy passes through the skin, energizing the dormant VeriChip, which then emits a radio frequency signal containing the verification number. The number is displayed by the scanner and transmitted to a secure data storage site by authorized personnel via telephone or Internet.”
In addition to “VeriChip Centers” in Arizona, Texas, and Florida, the firm also fields the “ChipMobile,” a motorized marketing and “chipping” vehicle. The new “Get Chipped” campaign was launched just days after the Food and Drug Administration ruled that the chip is not a regulated medical device and stated it found “reasonable assurance” that the chip was safe. However, neither the manufacturer nor the FDA mentioned a series of veterinary and toxicology studies conducted in the mid-1990s, which found that chip implants “induced” malignant tumors in some lab mice and rats. According to an Associated Press report in September 2007, Keith Johnson, who led a study in 1996 at Dow Chemical Company, said, “The transponders were the cause of the tumors.” Several leading cancer experts contacted by the AP cautioned that while animal tests do not necessarily apply to humans, they were “troubled” by the findings and urged further study before the chips were implanted in people. Some stated they would not allow their family members to receive such implants. The head of the federal Department of Health and Human Services when the VeriChip was approved was Tommy Thompson, who after leaving his government post joined VeriChip Corporation as a director. He resigned from the company in early 2007 to run an unsuccessful campaign as a Republican presidential candidate. The law firm in which Thompson was partner—Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld LLP—was paid $1.2 million to represent VeriChip, according to the SEC.
Uses for the chip include controlling access to nonpublic facilities such as government buildings and installations, nuclear power plants, national research laboratories, correctional institutions, and transportation hubs—either using the chip by itself or in conjunction with existing security technologies such as retina scanners, thumbprint scanners, or face-recognition devices. Company officials envision the chip will come to be used in a wide range of consumer products, including PC and laptop computers, personal vehicles, cell phones, homes, and apartments. They said the implanted chip will help stop identity theft and aid in the war against terrorists.
By early 2006, fears of the chip became reality when a Cincinnati video surveillance firm, CityWatcher.com, began to place the VeriChip in the arms of some of its employees who worked in sensitive areas. While the firm did not require employees to receive the chip to keep their jobs, some saw the company as establishing an unsettling precedent.
A NATIONAL ID card or chip may be the least of a citizen’s worries. Today, authorities are availing themselves of technologies the Nazis of the Third Reich could only have dreamed about. Satellite surveillance and the increasingly ubiquitous cameras in public places have curtailed privacy to a large extent in the industrialized world. Sophisticated miniature cameras now can read license plates and track vehicles even traveling at speeds of more than sixty miles per hour.
The U.S. federal government utilizes an electronic eavesdropping satellite and computer system called Echelon. This system tracks international telephone calls, faxes, and e-mail messages all around the world. It was so secret that the government would neither confirm nor deny its existence until 2001. According to a study by the European Union, Echelon accumulates electronic transmissions like a vacuum cleaner, using keyword-search software in conjunction with massive computer data banks.
The Echelon system, housed within the National Security Agency at Fort Meade, Maryland, has caused protests in several nations—excluding the United States, whose population rarely sees any news concerning this powerful global wiretapping system.
As technology continues to advance, so does the means of manipulating, even controlling, whole groups of individuals. The means to control the human mind has come a long way since the days of Nazi concentration camps and the subsequent CIA drug experimentation. Today, beamed electromagnetic frequencies can alter perceptions, instill emotions, and even cloud normal reasoning.
All organic life consists of living cells controlled by the DNA within them. The chemical action within the cells is driven by electromagnetic frequencies that pulse, oscillate, and vibrate. Collectively, the energy within a living organism creates a surrounding, albeit weak, electromagnetic field.
Dr. Nick Begich Jr., executive director of the Lay Institute on Technology and author of Angels Don’t Play This HAARP, stated scientists today “have succeeded in isolating many of the healing frequency codes of the human body and, importantly, are adding to a growing body of remarkably practical medical advancement toward the diagnosis and treatment of numerous disease states and conditions.”
In the 1930s, Dr. Royal Raymond Rife demonstrated the ability of precise electrical frequencies to disrupt viral and bacteria cells. A Special Research Committee of the University of Southern California confirmed that Rife frequencies were reversing many ailments, including cancer. Opposition immediately came from Dr. Thomas Rivers of the Rockefeller Institute, who had not even seen Rife’s equipment in operation. By 1934, Rife had isolated a virus that bred cancer and stopped it by bombarding it with electromagnetic frequencies. He was successful in killing both carcinoma and sarcoma cancers in more than four hundred tests on animals. It has been widely reported that in the summer of 1934, Rife, along with doctors Milbank Johnson and Alvin G. Foord, succeeded in using his frequencies to cure sixteen cancer patients diagnosed as terminal by conventional medicine.
Rife described the operation of his frequency machine thus: “With the frequency instrument treatment, no tissue is destroyed, no pain is felt, no noise is audible, and no sensation is noticed. A tube lights up and three minutes later the treatment is completed. The virus or bacteria is destroyed and the body then recovers itself naturally from the toxic effect of the virus or bacteria. Several diseases may be treated simultaneously.” A general analogy to this effect is glass shattering when a singer’s high note is sounded.
It did not take long for the medical establishment to realize that such a device not only would wreck the pharmaceutical industry but damage medicine in general, since cures meant fewer visits to the doctor. Overworked and underfunded, Rife and his associates were easy targets for attack. False claims were made against him, test procedures were altered, causing his demonstrations to fail, and impossible and diverting demands were made on Rife’s research. Barry Lyne, who chronicled Rife’s story in his book The Cancer Cure That Worked, elaborated: “[Rife] was curing cancer while the [International Cancer Research Foundation] broke their agreements, insisted on procedures with inexperienced people, which were doomed from the outset, and ignored the larger goal which Rife was achieving—the cure of cancer in human beings.”
After he declined an offer to partner with Morris Fishbein, then head of the American Medical Association, Rife’s troubles turned more serious, with lawsuits and health authorities coming at him from all sides. The university’s Special Research Committee’s work was ended, Rife was marginalized, and his device today is available only as a costly research instrument employed by a few doctors and private citizens. Rife died a broken man in 1971.
But while electromagnetic energy manipulation was seeking to make humans healthier, such technology also brought horrific possibilities for mind control. “The early attempts used chemicals and hallucinogenics to achieve some measure of control,” wrote Begich, the son of Alaskan Democrat senator Nick Begich Sr., who disappeared along with congressman and member of the Warren Commission Hale Boggs when their plane was lost over Alaska in 1972. “Then in the early 1960s the interest changed to nonchemical means for affecting behavior. By the early 1970s, within certain military and academic circles, it becam
e clear that human behavior could be modified by the use of subtle energetic manipulations. By 2006, the state of the technology had been perfected to the point where emotions, thoughts, memory, and thinking could be manipulated by external means.”
According to reports from the military in both the United States and Russia, psychotronic generators are being developed, which can create an infrasonic oscillation in the 10–20 Hertz range. It is destructive to living organisms; can cause behavior modification by transmitting frequencies through normal telephone, TV, and radio networks; and can produce frequencies to paralyze the central nervous system.
“In recent years, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has pursued research into brain decoding and the development of electronic micro and nanocircuits that will directly interact with the brain,” stated Dr. Begich. “New microchip technology could be used for direct interaction between the brains of people and computers.”
Several methods have been found to allow persons to hear sounds and speech without the use of the ears or normal auditory pathways—such as the Neurophone. This device uses a vibrational technology developed by Patrick Flanagan in 1958, which allows the transmission of sound vibrations through the skin, much like the vibration of a speaker. Bypassing the ear, a completely different part of the brain processes the sound, creating new neural pathways. Such technology is used to increase concentration while studying or learning languages, and it helps with meditation, relaxation, and healing.
Unfortunately, it was also found that amplified brainwave frequencies can be imposed on others. One U.S. patent even described how very low or very high audio frequencies can be used to transmit subliminal messages to the human brain. For example, U.S. Patent No. 3,170,993, accepted in 1965, is called the “Means for Aiding Hearing by Electrical Stimulation of the Facial Nerve System.”
