A retired American family man, well-read and insightful, took the time to correspond with me by email.
His view of world events is somewhat similar to many of us who tend to investigate and read a variety of novels, historical accounts, and 'alternative news sources'. Here is what he had to say.
Hi Bill:
I think there is something built into many of us to want real truth exposed for all human beings. It may prove dangerous to be a whistleblower... as many such people have learned in life. Darkness hates the light. Those destructive forces on the planet always attempt to portray their sinister activities in a more 'favorable light'. A few years ago I read "Godfather of the Kremlin--Boris Berezovsky and the Looting of Russia" by Paul Klebnikov. His novel sheds light on insatiable greed that cares less about human beings and whose only interest in life is money, power and control. Sometime later, I read that the author of that book was assassinated. A terrible tragedy, but nothing new under the sun, because silencing people is as old as dirt.
I pray it never happens, but the Internet may be controlled, eventually, by the powers that be for reasons of "security", which is the universal excuse for censorship. There is always so much to be said.
You sent me this link about "The Battle For Libyan Oil Fields''. Without a doubt there is a lot of reading here. The Internet is, I think, the worlds greatest means of communication ever in human history. Like all other means of human communication, it is used for truth telling, as well as for mass propaganda. In life, it is often difficult to ascertain what "truth" really is. It seems to require a great deal of digging, seeking, and exploring different sources to get at the real truth. Years ago, when I was a young man and President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, the U.S. and world were shocked and stunned by such an event. Various books came on the market attempting to deal with the "real motives" and "truth" behind this orchestrated event. Even to this day, I think in general, the public have no clue of what was really behind that particular intentional event.
Politics is a dirty business and involves the overthrow of nations, governments, and even businesses. Infiltration into any human organization (including churches) has been ongoing for a long time. There is a sense of hopelessness because no matter that millions of people all over the world understand that WAR is diabolical and insane, the wars never cease. They are not accidental.
The LEADER of targeted nations is ALWAYS DEMONIZED by the complicit "news" media. When a country is invaded, the people who attempt to defend themselves are called "terrorists", "rebels", "guerrillas", "insurgents" or some terminology intended to make the general public side with the aggressors, who are always seen as "liberators" and that have a "righteous" or "just" cause for their mass-murder. (For example: 'establishing democracy and freedom')
Those who instigate these monstrous events wear suits and ties and sit in their plush executive chairs playing games with people and nations of the world as their pawns. Simultaneously, life on earth is left in turmoil amidst their insane drive for total power and control of the world. Is it possible that there is such a thing as human engineered weather modification as a tool for conquest? Can earthquakes and tsunamis be triggered by specific technology ...where no one but the perpetrators can ever know that such means may exist?
Here is a quote from a European Parliament document dated 14 January 1999:
"27. Considers HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Project) by virtue of its far-reaching impact on the environment to be a global concern and calls for its legal, ecological and ethical implications to be examined by an international independent body before any further research and testing; regrets the repeated refusal of the United States Administration to send anyone in person to give evidence to the public hearing or any subsequent meeting held by its competent committee into the environmental and public risks connected with the high Frequency Active Auroral Research Project (HAARP) program currently being funded in Alaska"
Scroll down to point numbered 27
Entire Text of European Document -

This military briefing with Secretary of Defense William Cohen, dated all the way back to 1997, shows that even then, Cohen knew about EM (HAARP) weaponry that could trigger quakes and set off volcanoes.

"Alvin Toeffler has written about this in terms of some scientists in their laboratories trying to devise certain types of pathogens that would be ethnic specific so that they could just eliminate certain ethnic groups and races; and others are designing some sort of engineering, some sort of insects that can destroy specific crops. Others are engaging even in an eco- type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, or volcanoes remotely, through the use of electromagnetic waves."
How is it that so "conveniently" and at just the "right timing", endless disasters keep happening the world over? Is it not very suspicious? False flag operations never cease, and those very 'covert Intelligence' terror operations are tools of mass deception. Fortunately, we are not all naive and gullible. Sad to say but, selfish desire for POWER, CONTROL and MONEY rule the world, and in that insatiable drive for all three, the world reels like a drunken sailor, or a ship in a horrific storm in the ocean. Peace, safety, calm, prosperity for all human beings and "loving your neighbor as you love yourself" are never allowed to exist on earth completely.

regarding the problem for religion and government when people begin to
''think''.
"Dear Silenced,
The battle of minds is an amazing reality in human life on earth. One thing many of us learned in our years with the Worldwide Church of God/Ambassador College, is what the truth is not. My personal exit was in October, 1974 after working for Ambassador College in Pasadena for about twelve years. At the time of my exit I was the Payroll Manager for the college/church payroll. There is no doubt that early indoctrination into religious beliefs, will impact human beings for life.
The Worldwide Church of God experience, was not my only church association, because years after our voluntary exit from WWCG, we attended charismatic, pentecostal, baptist, 7th-day Adventist, non- denominational and perhaps a few others thrown in. My wife and I have long since removed ourselves from all organized and institutional churches. We read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation many times over the years and now conclude that it is the "Holy" books of all the religions of the world, that are the cause, foundation and source of many of the worlds human problems, antagonisms, and endless quarrels over what is and what is not "truth".
There is no living human being alive on earth today who is a personal witness to anything from Genesis to Revelation. What human beings believe is primarily what others have said, and so people believe what they hear verbally from others who stand in pulpits, from television, from "news", from movies, from radio, from politicians, and even schools. People also have their thinking shaped by what they read from INK on PAPER. Most likely what we all generally believe is, in reality, what others have said... and we accept it as "truth."
Men have always put words in the mouth of God that God never spoke, and any writer can easily pen such words as "thus saith the Lord", "God commanded", "God said", "God appeared to me", "all scripture is inspired by God", and so forth, and attach any writings they want to such words. Millions of human beings believe that when they read such words, that means God is the author. That is a seriously mistaken presumption. While I don't personally believe what is called "the Bible" is total fiction, I do regard much of it as fabricated.
Many ex-church goers have become so disillusioned that they have turned to atheism. I am not an atheist and I do believe in Jesus Christ, as a personal choice. On the other hand, I see the Old Testament, the book of "Revelation", and even parts of the "New Testament" as maligning and distorting the true character of God. Jesus Christ or, if you will, God Almighty has not appeared to any of us living on earth today, in a physical and visible form, and has never said so much as one word to any of us, or taught us what truth really is.
Primarily, what Jesus taught was LOVE, COMPASSION, MERCY, EMPATHY and HUMILITY. Jesus is NOT the author of the clergy/laity system of the church world, but that distinction has to be placed at the feet of the so called "apostle" Paul, or to those who penned works in his name falsely. In my opinion, the story of Ananias and Sapphira in the book of Acts is such a major contradiction to Jesus Christ, what Jesus taught and role-modeled, that this fake story is more than proof that the human authors of some of these writings, were NOT inspired by God. Supposedly God struck these two people down dead at the feet of Peter, over $money matters and lying. Amazingly, the Roman Catholic Church traces its origin (falsely) to Peter, and is it any wonder that such a story is found in the New Testament. It is obviously intended to instill FEAR in people - Fear of religious rulers and secular rulers of men.
The Bible is in fact filled with attempts to create FEAR; fear of God, fear of religious and secular rulers of men, fear of the loss of salvation, and fear of punishment. In the Old Testament there is a myth attributed to God that the earth opened up and swallowed some men, their wives and their children and babies, because some of the men voiced opinions contrary to Moses. It is nonsense! Thus, organized religion is human bondage, a prison and a form of captivity. We read that Jesus came to SET THE CAPTIVES FREE, and yet those who lust for power, control, and free-money, insist on keeping the naive and gullible captive to their vanity, self-importance and false teachings.
It is a shame that so many innocent people are still kept in bondage to splinter groups of the Worldwide Church of God, but people live in fear of losing their salvation, and think they "must obey" the false and self-appointed leaders of these organizations. We can extend this to 100% of all churches, all religions, and all man-made religious beliefs. God has NOT spoken to any of us, and so what everyone thinks is "truth" is nothing more than what others have said. And of course, others have been saying things they proclaim are "true" for thousands of years. Human governments of men are also bondage, and they all exist by coercion, force and compulsion, which means there is no such thing as "freedom."
We are all slaves on earth to those who rule the money system of the world, those who rule at all levels of human governments, those who rule nations, those who rule the world and do many things against our will. In fact, religions and governments are twins, because they all control and take your money, in the pretense of "its the law", whether that "law" is attributed to God or to man-made laws.
Those who defend the Bible tenaciously are simply so indoctrinated and programmed in their thinking, that they are beyond being rational. Stepping away from the churches, one begins to think and see much more clearly."
