Page One: You Can't Work With a Sore Peter The voters have confirmed that the controllers choice for our next leader and the socialist agenda of the left is the needed change in direction they would like to see our country heading. That is of course if the outcome of our elections were not already programmed into the computer before we went in to use them. Many believe that to be the case. Either way the fact that we now have a governing body of folks who historical and factual have ties to the Illuminati's planned path to total control and the teachings of Wilhelm Wundt without a peep of concern from our fellow citizens is amazing to me. Wundt was a proponent of the Hegelian philosophical ideas and he used the Hegelian dialectic as his starting point i.e. "The State is superior to the Individual." He could also be called the father of our higher learning institutions including Yale. and Obama's educational institute, Harvard. Media censorship. Investigating private citizens who pick up the rocks and expose the snakes hidden underneath. . . . And this cabal is not even in power yet! Welcome to the remnents of the Republic our forefathers left us . . . Hence forward to be known as the New Marxist-Socialist Democracy of the United States. Share the Wealth, nothing new in the U.S.  Actually the idea of sharing the wealth almost turned our country's ideology in an entirely different direction once before. It was way back during the depression of the 1930s. In fact the only thing that stopped this shift in idology from happening was a "lone assassin," with a cheap Saturday night special and a bullet. Later in this report we'll take a look at the original "share the wealth" plan and the man who envisioned it, the late Senator Huey P. Long of Loisuiana who, without a doubt, was the most controversial United States politician who ever lived. But be it Huey Long's plan or Obama's the clearest description, and one that will immediately stop any argument in favor of the unworkable idea of redistributing the wealth was told to me many years ago; "Sharing the wealth is actually robbing Peter to pay Paul. This would tend to make Peter mad. And, as everyone knows, you can't work with a sore Peter." . . . source forgotten.

Now a Mexican archaeologist using long-forgotten testimony from the Spanish Inquisition says a series of caves he has explored may be the place where the Maya actually tried to depict this highway through hell.

The system—comprising a geomagnetic sensor, an acceleration sensor and a microprocessor—can display current location and directions, even in underground shopping malls where radio waves for satellite-based global positioning systems cannot be received, according to the company, which belongs to a group of firms led by Toyota Motor Corp. Aichi Steel said it has begun selling a module incorporating the two sensors and the microprocessor as well as associated underground navigation software to cell phone manufacturers, adding it wants cellphone makers to release handsets incorporating the underground navigation system in the fall of 2009. [complete report] Who they kidding! What's the real reason for developing this underground navigational system? I mean just how many underground malls are there in the world? And of those how many are so large that people need a device in order to know where they are while in these malls? Most people would simple look at the mall map located throughout every mall I've ever been in and move on to their destination, Starbucks or wherever. My gut feeling is there is more to this device than sinply giving people a way to use their cell phones to find directions in underground malls. GET REAL, spin doctors!

Bolivian leader Evo Morales on Thursday accused the US government of encouraging drug-trafficking as he explained his decision to banish the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Morales, a staunch opponent of the Washington government, said the staff from the US agency had three months to prepare to leave the country, because "the DEA did not respect the police, or even the (Bolivian) armed forces." "The worst thing is, it did not fight drug trafficking; It encouraged it," the Bolivian leader said, adding that he had "quite a bit of evidence" backing up his charges.

The difference between Republicans & Democrats explained by Huey P. Long. In this time of living green I think that recycling is very important and I like to do my share. With that thought in mind I'm re-issuing this report that I wrote for my History in Perspective column which ran during the 1990s in the Nassau Observer (Yulee, Florida) newspaper. This article was published in December 1995. (Sorry I can't give you an exact date. It isn't on the news clipping I am copying from and the newspaper is no longer in existence). And I will confess. The real reason I'm using it instead of writng a new report is it gives me a chance to insert the report into this archive. And besides . . . This article is not dated a bit. The problems of 12 years ago remain. And that's the shame of it all! Anyway . . .
Welcome to a new year! For most of us the first unpleasant task of 1996 will be compiling and submitting our income tax returns. However, a growing segment of Americans are unhappy with the current tax system and the intrusive tactics of the Internal Revenue Service. In fact, if past history is repeated, millions of Americans will ignore and refuse to comply with this "voluntary compliance" all together. 1996 is also an election year and the politico hopefuls are well aware of the problems this non-compliance is causing to the financial well being of our country. Each one has his own idea of how to fix the problem. Some believe we need a "flat tax" where everyone pays a fixed percentage of his income - with or without certain deductions. Another popular idea is a National Sales Tax whereas taxes are collected at the retail level instead of income deductions. Proponents of the sales tax approach argue that this would encourage people to save and invest as taxes would become due only when you bought consumer products or services. Whatever their stand, each individual politician will try to convey to us that tax reform is a unique problem of the 90s. In reality, many politicians of the past have argued that the income tax system of America is not the answer to gathering the money needed to run our government and a few have even submitted their own plans to replace, or revise the system. One such plan was put forth by Huey P. Long the powerful and flamboyant "Kingfisher" of Louisiana politics during the depression era. While I disagree vehemently with the late senator's plan,* I feel that the history and consequences of his proposal should be known to those who try to buck the system. *I support the fair tax.  Elected Governor of Louisiana in 1928, and then U.S. Senator in 1932, Huey Long was one of the most colorful politicians in the history of our country's politics. History books paint the picture of a greedy, corrupt demagogic governor who controlled the politics of his home state with an iron fist. While many of the things said about him are probably true, the "little people like me" as he liked to call his down-home constitutes loved him. By looking at his record and reading between the lines, it is possible to see the real source of the Kingfish's distorted image. As governor during a period of mass unemployment, Huey Long levied high taxes on the oil companies, in particular Standard Oil who was pumping Louisiana's oil out of the ground which, Long said belonged to the people of his state.. He then used the money collected to hire out-of-work people to build roads. While this upset John D. Rockefeller and the other oil barons, it brought much needed income into the state with the added benefit of giving Louisiana the best highway system in the south at the time. He also declared that since poor people couldn't afford a telephone in their homes and were dependent on pay phones, they shouldn't have to pay more than a nickel for a phone call. So he passed a law that the telephone company couldn't charge more than that in Louisiana. As late as the mid 1960s, while the rest of the country paid a dime to use a public phone, his state's residents only paid five cents. Needless to say these and other programs of social reform at the expense of the wealthy didn't go over well with those at the top. In 1932, as a freshman senator, he formulated a tax program which he said would make "Every Man a King." By 1932 this plan had become a national crusade and thousands of people across America began to organize into groups known as the "Share Our Wealth Society." The Society's aim was to eventually challenge the two major parties and elect Huey P. Long as President. In a February 1934 nationally broadcasted radio address the popular Louisiana Senator explained his plan. EXCERPTS: "We are in our third year of the Roosevelt depression, with the conditions growing worse . . . We must now become awakened! We must know the truth and speak the truth. There is no use to wait three years. It is not Roosevelt or ruin; it is Roosevelt's ruin. "We ran Mr. Roosevelt for the Presidency of the United States because he promised to us by word of mouth and in writing; 1. That the size of the big man's fortune would be reduced so as to give the masses at the bottom enough to wipe out all poverty, and; 2. That the hours of labor would be so reduced that all would share in the work to be done and in consuming the abundance mankind produced . . . " "When I saw him spending all his time of ease and recreation with the business partners of Mr. John D. Rockefeller Jr.; with such men as the Astor's etc. maybe I ought to have had better sense than to have believed he would ever breakdown their big fortunes to give enough to the masses to end poverty . . . Millions of other people were fooled along with myself. "So therefore, I call upon the men and women of America to immediately join in our work and movement to share our wealth." Senator Long then went on to lay out his plan. The first step was to be a capital levy. Under the plan, no American would be taxed on his first million earned. "But after you get rich you would have to start helping the balance of us." On the second million one man earned would be a levy of 1%. On the third 2%. On the fourth a tax of 4%. The fifth 8%. The sixth 16%. The seventh million would be taxed at 32% , the eighth 64% and anything over eight million would be taxed 100%. As millions of Americans across the nation crowded around the radio the Kingfish explained his plan to the anxious depression-weary listeners; " . . . the annual tax would bring the largest fortune down to $3 or $4 million dollars . . . [This is] enough for any one person and his children and his children's children. We cannot allow one to have more that that because it would not leave enough for the balance to have something." His plan also included the provision that "a person could only inherit $1 million in any one year - a guarantee of food, housing and clothing for everyone that worked. Free education for anyone who wanted it and a pension to all persons above sixty years in an amount sufficient to support them in comfortable circumstances" except those who could afford to pay their own way. He believed that "by limiting the size of fortunes and incomes of "the big men"we will throw into the government Treasury the money from which we will care for the millions of people who have nothing." The plan also called for granting a "moratorium on all debts which people owe that they cannot pay." He ended his national radio address with; "Now you have our plan, none too big, none too small, but every man a king. "All the people of America have been invited to a barbeque. God invited us all to come and eat and drink all we wanted. He smiled on our land and we grew crops of plenty to eat and wear. He showed us in the earth the iron and other things needed to make everything we wanted. He unfolded to us the secrets of science so that our work would be easy. God called, "Come to my feast." "Then what happened? Rockefeller, Morgan and their crowd stepped up and took enough for 120 million people and left enough for 5 million to be divided between the other 125 million to eat. Now so many millions must go hungry and without these good things that God gave us unless we call them to put some of it back." Share Our wealth clubs sprang up all across America. In a time of nothing but bad news what the ol' Kingfish said made sense. "And hadn't he fought Standard Oil and Maw Bell and won?" Huey Long had the controllers worried. His power was growing to fast and too wide. At the height of his power, and almost assured of winning the popular vote for president, Huey Pierce Long was gunned down on September 17, 1935 in a corridor of the Louisiana capital building in Baton Rouge by a "lone assassin."

The Strange & Wacky World of Cyrus Reed Teed & Those Who Believed in Him & A Road Trip to his 'Heaven' IN Earth
Page One "The people have not yet been deprived of their constitutional liberties so far as the franchise* is concerned, but beyond that they have lost their industrial, commercial and executive powers through the machinations of the commercial pirates who fortify themselves behind the entrenchments of predatory and accumulated wealth. If we are under the reign of a monopolistic oligarchy we have no one to blame for it but ourselves." Dr. Cyrus R. Teed 1839-1908 Financial Crisis. No real choice for our next president. Illegal Immigration & Population Explosion. Wars in far off places. Nuclear threats from Other Regimes . So What's new? I could use my time and space to write a long report on the problems facing us today, but I'm tired of doing that. Besides I can actually say everything needed to be said about the two major problems we are presently facing in about one sentence. Two at the most. The present financial crisis will be solved when the controllers are ready for it to be "fixed" the same way they always "fix" it; by having the Treasury Dept. print more worthless, fiat money. Then selling it to the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank for a few pennies per bill. Finally the controllers flunkies who run the FED will lend it back to us after deciding how much interest they can squeeze out of the American taxpayer. And the same people who own the crooked FED banks are the same dirty folks who control both presidential runners. [Scroll down to Issue #11 "Will the World Please Come to Order?"] There is enough gloom and doom out there right now that you don't need any more from me, so I've decided to use this issue of THEI to look back 100+ years or so and go on a field trip. Back to a time when our ancestors were - believe it or not - facing almost the same problems we face today and examine how one group of people faced those challenges, or rather tried to leave those problems behind and work on other more earthly challenges. As a people we seem to do all right when one or two of the problems presented at the beginning of this report is facing our country. But when they hit us all at once, as is the present circumstance, it kind of makes you want to go back to bed and pull the covers over your head. But, as we all know there really isn't a lot an individual can do about these chains of events except go with the flow and let those in control decide behind closed doors what the next move is to be and ride it out. That is to say MOST of us know and accept that. But ever once in a while a controversial figure will come along who refuses to accept the status quo and begins an all-out search for a place to 'start over' by gathering like-minded people together and, as a group, work towards creating a paradise or 'heaven' where people can live in bliss and harmony separated from the woes of a corrupt and inefficient governing body. For instance, in the years following World War II that situation arose. The country faced financial crisis', an illegal emigrant population explosion, politically motivated and unpopular wars (Korea, Viet Nam), a series of assassinations of popular leaders, continuing corruption in government, and the "threat" from Russia with the contrived cold war, during which we were constantly warned could lead to the inevitable nuclear attack, with its sidebars of fallout-shelters and the accompanying duck and cover propaganda being taught to our our kids in the schools. It all seemed to be more than a person could take, but most of us muddled through it all despite the inner workings of the controllers. Here is a scanned page from a copy of LIFE magazine from May 21, 1951 that I have in my files. I find this report to be utterly remarkable when viewed from today's perspective. This report is indisputable proof just how long our government can ignore a serious problem as long as there is no continuing citizen outcry.  And Here's just one example of concern for one of the ongoing financial crisis' of those times. Post-Tribune (Jefferson City, MO) April 6, 1962: Can Financial Crisis Destroy Us From Within? By Sen. Harry F. Byrd EXCERPTS It was with a good deal of reluctance and, I will say, a good deal of sadness that, as chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance, I was compelled to ask for an increase in the Federal debt limit . . . I did so because I was told that if the debt limit was not increased, out government could not pay it's current bills. . . . I do not recall in my long service on the Senate Committee of Finance that there ever arose such a condition as was presented to us. . . . It had to be recognized that that the failure of the government to pay its bills would create chaos at home and abroad in the free world. . . During those trying times of the 1950s and 60s the person who stands out as one who would spend his whole life searching for an escape from the madness of the controllers to a new paradise was Dr. Walter Siegmeister, better know as Dr. Raymond Bernard. The good Doctor spent his life writing of the dangers of a coming radiation apocalypse, traveling the world conducting experiments dealing with the possibilities of living off of the land with no contact with what we call modern civilization, trying differing communal living experiments and finally writing to his secretary, and my late friend, Guy Haywood. In that letter, the original which is in my possession, he claimed that he finally, "after a lifetime of searching," had located his paradise . He stated that it was, of all places, inside the earth. I covered the life of Dr. Bernard's strange, adventurous and quite complex life extensively in the 1990s hard copy issues of THEI. The first two parts of this 6-part study can be found at Raymond Bernard's Search For Paradise. My son Tom and I are currently working on making the rest of this and all of my earlier research reports available very soon. There is also plenty of information on this far-from-mainstrean thinker, Dr. Walter Siegmeister AKA Dr. Raymond Bernard A.B., M.A., PhD., available on the Internet including a free e-book of his classic, The Hollow Earth, so I'll spend no more time on the amazing Dr. Bernard at this time. I just wanted to make note of his quest for paradise, the reason for which will be understood in a minute. If we go back to the turn of the last century, starting after the end of the War of Secession (incorrectly referred to almost universally as the United States Civil War) we find that many of the same type problems which face our nation today faced United States citizens of the late 1800s and early 1900s. Enter Cyrus Teed. As David Standish wrote in his extremely detailed history of Hollow Earth beliefs in the section titled, Cyrus Teed and Koreshanity: Teed had seen it's horrors [the Civil War] first hand. . . . President Grant's administration set new standards for incompetence and corruption . . . The transcontinental railroad, completed in 1896 . . . had been financed by a group of crooked promoters who hired Congressmen to do their bidding . . . Businesses were mainly small farms and small private enterprises. But in the 1870s and 1880s, greed, materialism, and the application of Darwinism to the social fabric inspired the first of the robber barons to suit up and begin constructing the vast impersonal corporate trusts that would dominate the American economy by 1900, amassing profits in the multimillions while their factory workers living in grimy cities grubbed along at sixteen-hour days for crummy wages. Amazing! All you have to do is change some robber barons names and the industries they control and the above information could be presented as today's news on any mainstream talking head show. Standish continues with more history that is currently, with just a few very small changes, repeating itself; The primarily Anglo ethnic makeup of the United States was being altered as Germans, Italians And Eastern Europeans poured in - nearly 12 million between 1870 and 1900. . . . These new arrivals sent cultural jolts through the formerly homogeneous communities where they settled, as well as giving unwanted competition for jobs. [Sound familiar? The only difference, and it's a huge one, Teed's generations "new arrivals" were at least coming here legally]. Much of the upheaval during this time was fueled by economic problems, the two largest manifestations being the panic of 1873, which dragged into a prolonged depression, and the worst panic of 1893. . . . More examples of history repeating itself. [And if you really want to compare the history of the turn of this century with the turn of the last, then compare the recent hurricane Ike with the hurricane of 1900, which by-the-way, also slammed into Galveston Texas head-on and STILL holds the record as the worst natural disaster to hit the United States in recorded history]. Way back then, at the turn of his generations century, Dr. Cyrus R. Teed wanted to escape, and help others escape, the hell-bound sinful and corrupt society that seemed to prevail at the time. And he had a plan. . . a BIG plan.  However, when it came to escaping from this unwanted corrupted world with an assembled group of followers who believed as he did Dr. Teed had it over on Dr. Raymond Bernard. While Bernard wasted away his short life looking for a way into the interior of the planet to create his paradise, Teed didn't have to waste any time looking for an entrance to a subterrean kingdom. . . . He reached the conclusion that we already lived INSIDE the earth. And Furthermore, he claimed he could scientifically prove it! He also wasn't expecting to find a paradise that already existed where once reached it would be an occasion for high-fives and the start of a life of lounging around drinking Coronas all day. Teed believed in the old, traditional Yankee way of acquisition . Through hard work. He'd have the chosen ones - his followers - build his 'Heaven' for him. As with Dr. Raymond Bernard, I'll spend little time here telling the story of Cyrus Teed and his hollow earth beliefs except as it pertains to our story. The study of that part of his beliefs is readily available in many books such as the extreamly informative, "must read" history of the, Hollow Earth (2006) by David Standish, which I extensively quoted above and Subterranean Worlds (1989) by Walter Kafton-Minkel. Additional information is also available on many sites on the web. You can even read or download Teed's book explaining his theory of mankind living inside a hollow sphere , The Cellular Cosmogony in e-book format for free. However for the real purpose of this report - to research and understand how a few others in the past dealt with the problems we face today, and try to realize and understand the lifestyle changes and sacrifices they had to make during and after the transition Marsha and I decide to take a road trip to the only documented "inner earth" settlement IN the world, Dr. Cyrus Teed's Koreshan Unity colony. It's located in the small West coast Florida town of Estero just south of the popular gulf coast town of Ft. Myers and is now a Florida State Historic Site. We are anxious to share with you what we learned on our trip to Dr. Teed's settlement. . . . A THEI Special ROAD TRIP: WE'RE INSIDE - COME ON IN! A photo visit to Cyrus Teed's 'Heaven' IN Earth: The Koreshan Unity Settlement  Color Snapshots: by Dennis Crenshaw or Marsha Ward. As Dr. Teed explained, Knowing that Cyrus Teed BELIVED we lived inside the earth and KNOWING positively that I am living in Florida I decided it was past time for me to visit his settlement. After all this is the only 'inner earth colony' that I actually have directions to and can afford to visit. While I had researched and published information on Cyrus Teed, the man who lived inside the earth, for years, and even though the remains of his Koreshan Unity settlement is only 315 miles away from my home in Jacksonville I had never been to the Historic site. In fact I hadn't been in that area of Florida since the early 60s, years before I'd ever heard of Cyrus Teed or the Koreshan Unity Settlement. So Marsha and I decided that it was high time we went down and checked it out. After spending a pleasant day and night in the historical Gulf Coast town of Ft. Myers, we headed south on Highway 41 - more popularly known locally as the Tamia However upon leaving the bumper to bumper traffic on highway 41 and turning West on Corkscrew Rd and then back North into the entrance road of the Koreshan State Historic Site we immediately noticed a change from the hectic Timiami Trail. The small two lane blacktop road leading into the park took on an instant feeling of peacefulness . Off in the distance we could hear birds singing and the lanscaped borders of the highway gave way to the more natural deep green nettles of the tall pines and the brighter yellow-green of the palmetto palms that border the small entrance access road that looked as rural Florida had looked before the flood of development, and, as I remembered the terrain looking during my last trip to the area way back in the early 60s. From the parking lot it was just a short walk down a crushed shell path to the entrance of the community. A series of crushed oyster shell paths wind throughout the community just as they were landscaped to do over 100 years ago. Of course when Cyrus Teed first saw the land in The first building you see as you enter the settlement is the Founder's House which was where Cyrus Teed lived when he wasn't off traveling the country on his lecture and recruitment tours. This is the oldest structure on the grounds that was actually built by the Koreshans. (1) Waiting on the porch was Jean Neher, a Volunteer of the Florida Park Service who was there to give us a tour of the house and an excellent overview of the settlement, its founder and the long gone residents. Cyrus Teed was always interested in unconventional experiments which often involved using dangerously high levels of electricity. In the Autumn of 1869 During one such experiment he was badly shocked and knocked out. While unconscious he claimed to have had a vision. He claimed to have seen God in the form of a beautiful woman and to have learned the secrets of the universe. Reincarnation, a mother/father God, apathy for woman, solitud "May we so unite our energies so as to build for ourselves and for those who may be influenced by our own united efforts and the achievement of collective joys, a habitation in which spiritual, moral and social unity shall prevail." . . . Cyrus Teed. (3) Some of Teeds "Angels," as he called this followers, didn't really want to move to the swamps of Florida which was reportedly full of man eating alligators, poisonous snakes and millions of mosquitoes. However after listening to the persuasive vision of their charismatic leader some of them finally agreed to follow him into this untamed wilderness. The first adventurous pioneers that did agree to come had to live in tents and they worked very hard clearing the land and getting the site livable. Another group followed a little later. He ended up with between 200 and 250 people here. (2) In 1903 they built the Planetary Court. It was called the Planetary court because it was built for the seven ladies who lived in it who represented the seven known planets. (2) [ Teed/Koresh was the 'sun' and 'the mother of Christ', Victora Gratra, represented the moon]. You might wonder why these seven women deserved a big house like this to live in. Everybody else lived in dormitory style housing but these seven women ran the place. Dr. Teed lived in the Founders Hall but he was hardly ever here. He was running all over the country, recruiting people, lecturing and taking care of his business interests away from here. He was gone for weeks, sometimes months and trying to keep both places operating, [in Florida and Chicago] so, when he wasn't here it was the responsibility for these seven women to run the whole place. Any time there was a problem it was up to them to solve it. They had a school, a publishing house, taking care of 200 people. . . any kind of situation that arose these women had to take care of it. (2) In death, as in life, Cyrus Teed was surrounded by controversy. His death was the result of a street fight he was involved in with a town Marshal after he tried to gain control of local politics during the 1906 elections. For a complete detailed study of that controversy read Cyrus Teed and The Lee County Elections of 1906 by Elliot Mackle available at the Florida Historical Society site.
Our next stop was the Membership Cottage which, according to our guide booklet was". . . typical of the individual houses of the members. Built of local pine, with lap of vertical siding, they typically had wood shake roofs. Roof pitches were high, and since ceilings were often open to the roof rafters, this design allowed the sultry summer heat to rise to the the roof top. Most of the members' houses were not painted but left to weather naturally" (1) Towards the back of the settlement was the "industrial" area of the compound, the laundry & drying yard, the large machine shop, built primarily to contain "the steam power machinery that served the adjacent laundry" (1) Here are two views of the a Schofield Iron Works sream engine. According to the sign, it is the type used, by the Koreshans in their local saw mill. It was used in conjunction with a steam producing boiler to provide steam for the engine. Here's the small machine shop where the Koreshans "manufactured small special tools, kitchen items and provided repair services." (1) Of special interest to me was the Electric Generator Building built in 1908. The equipment used to supply the colony's electricity was originally powered by steam and was later converted to diesel. This was another area where the Koreshan community was 'light-years' ahead of their times. Thomas Edison had a summer home in nearby Ft. Myers and he, along with Henry Ford and Harry Firestone were among those locals who were friends of Cyrus Teed and visited the small settlement on many occasions.. When Edison proposed that Ft. Myers convert their town to using electrical power to light up the town the locals refused, being afraid of the dangers involved, but the Koreshans, realizing that it could make life easier for them, said bring it on. |
