"Those
who do not learn from history
are
doomed to repeat it."
George Santayana

Past presidents of the United States and other
high profile political leaders have repeatedly issued warnings over the last
214 years that the U.S. government is under the control of an,
"invisible government owing no allegiance
and acknowledging no responsibility to the people."
According to six of our former presidents, one
vice-president,� and a myriad of other high profile political leaders, an
invisible government that is "incredibly evil in intent" has been in control
of the U.S. government,
"ever since the days of Andrew Jackson"
(since at least 1836).�
They,
"virtually run the United States government
for their own selfish purposes. They practically control both parties�
It operates under cover of a self-created screen [and] seizes our
executive officers, legislative bodies, schools, courts, newspapers and
every agency created for the public protection."
As a result,
"we have come to be one of the worst ruled,
one of the most completely controlled and dominated, governments in the
civilized world - no longer a government by free opinion, no longer a
government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government
by the opinion and the duress of small groups of dominant men."

Also included below are statements made by
David Rockefeller, Sr, former director of the Council on

Reserve) Chairman's Alan Greenspan and Ben Bernanke
that appear to confirm some of the warnings.

Warnings About the Invisible
Government Running the U.S.
�
The warnings listed below, which appear in
chronological order, began with our first president - George Washington.�
The last president to speak out was JFK, who was assassinated.
�
Read what they and other political leaders have
said about the invisible government:
�
�
George Washington wrote that
the Illuminati want to separate
the People from their Government
�
"It was
not my intention to doubt that, the
Doctrines of the Illuminati, and principles of Jacobinism had
not spread in the United States. On the contrary, no one is more truly
satisfied of this fact than I am.
�
The
idea that I meant to convey, was, that I did not believe that the Lodges
of Free Masons in this Country had, as Societies, endeavored to
propagate the diabolical tenets of the first, or pernicious principles
of the latter (if they are susceptible of separation).
�
That Individuals of them may� actually
had
a separation of the People from their
Government in view, is too evident to be questioned."
George Washington,� 1st President of the United States (1789�1797),
from
a letter that Washington wrote on October 24, 1798,
which
can be found in the Library of Congress.�
For
an analysis of Washington's warning, see the article
"Library
of Congress: George Washington Warns of Illuminati"
�
�
"I sincerely believe, with you, that
banking establishments are more
dangerous than standing armies."
Thomas Jefferson, 3rd President of
the United States (1801�1809)
and principal author of the United
States Declaration of Independence (1776),
in a
letter written to John Taylor on May 28, 1816
�
�
"A
power has risen up in the government greater than the people themselves,
consisting of many and various powerful interests, combined in
one mass, and held together by the
cohesive power of the vast surplus in banks."
John C. Calhoun, Vice President
(1825-1832) and U.S. Senator,
from a speech given on May 27, 1836
�
Note that it appears that Washington's and
Jefferson's concerns
regarding bankers and separation of the people from the
government was realized by 1836.�
�
This fact was confirmed in a letter written by
FDR in 1933 (see below) in which he wrote that,
"a
financial element in the large centers has owned the government ever
since the days of Andrew Jackson."�
Andrew
Jackson was the seventh president of the
United States (1829-1937).�
�
Calhoun served as Jackson's vice-president from
1829-1932.
"Behind the ostensible government sits
enthroned an invisible government owing
no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people.�
�
To destroy
this invisible government, to befoul the unholy alliance
between corrupt business and corrupt politics
is the first task of the statesmanship
of the day."
Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the
United States,
Theodore Roosevelt
- An Autobiography,
1913 (Appendix B)
�
�
"A great
industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our
system of credit is privately concentrated. The growth of the nation,
therefore, and all our activities are
in the hands of a few men�
�
[W]e have
come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled
and dominated, governments in the civilized world -
no longer a government by free opinion,
no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority,
but a government by the opinion and the duress of small groups of
dominant men."
Woodrow Wilson,
28th President of the United States,
The New Freedom, 1913
�
�
"Since I entered politics, I have chiefly
had men's views confided to me privately.
Some of the biggest men in the United
States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of
something.�
�
They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so
subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that
they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in
condemnation of it."
Woodrow Wilson,
28th President of the United States,
The New Freedom, 1913

�
"The real menace of our Republic is
the invisible government,
which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy legs over our cities,
states and nation� The little coterie of powerful international
bankers virtually run the United States
government for their own selfish purposes.
�
They practically
control both parties� and
control the majority of the newspapers
and magazines in this country.
�
They use the columns of these papers to club
into submission or drive out of office public officials who refuse to do
the bidding of the powerful corrupt cliques which compose the invisible
government.
�
It operates under cover of a self-created
screen [and] seizes our executive
officers, legislative bodies, schools, courts, newspapers and every
agency created for the public protection." �
New York City Mayor John F. Hylan,
New York Times, March 26, 1922
�
�
"Mr. Chairman, we have in this country
one of the most corrupt institutions
the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board and the
Federal Reserve Banks.
�
The Federal Reserve Board, a Government
board, has cheated the Government of
the United States and the people of the United States out of enough
money to pay the national debt�
�
Mr. Chairman, when
the Federal Reserve act
was passed, the people of the United States did not perceive that
a world system was being set up here� and that
this country was to supply financial
power to
an international super-state - a super-state
controlled
by international bankers and international industrialists acting
together to enslave the world for their
own pleasure."
Congressman Louis T. McFadden,
from a speech
delivered to the House of Representatives on June 10,
1932
�
�
"The real truth of the matter is, as you and
I know, that a financial element in the
large centers has owned the government ever since the days of Andrew
Jackson."
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, 32nd President
of the United States (1933�1945),
in a letter to Colonel Edward M House dated November 21, 1933, as quoted
in F.D.R.: His Personal Letters,
1928-1945.
�
�
"Today the path to total dictatorship
in the U.S. can be laid by strictly legal means�
We have a well-organized
political-action group in this country,
determined to destroy our Constitution
and establish a one-party state�
�
It operates
secretly, silently, continuously to transform our Government�
This ruthless power-seeking elite is a
disease of our century� This group� is answerable neither to the
President, the Congress, nor the courts. It is practically
irremovable."
Senator William Jenner,
1954 speech
�
�
"The individual is handicapped by
coming face-to-face with a conspiracy
so monstrous he
cannot believe it exists. The American
mind simply has not come to a realization of the evil which has been
introduced into our midst.
�
It rejects
even the assumption that human creatures could espouse a philosophy
which must ultimately destroy all that is good and decent."�
J. Edgar Hoover,
The Elks Magazine, 1956
�
�
"The very
word 'secrecy' is repugnant in a free and open society; and we
are as a people inherently and historically opposed to
secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings�
Our way of life is under attack.
�
Those who
make themselves our enemy are advancing around the globe�
no war ever posed a greater threat to
our security. If you are awaiting a finding of 'clear and
present danger,' then I can only say
that the danger has never been more clear and its presence has never
been more imminent�
�
For we are
opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that
relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of
influence - on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of
elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by
night instead of armies by day.
�
It is a
system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the
building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines
military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political
operations.
�
Its preparations are concealed, not
published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined.
Its dissenters are silenced, not
praised.
�
No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is
printed, no secret is revealed."
John F Kennedy, 35th President of the
United States,
from a speech delivered to the American
Newspaper Publishers Association on April 27, 1961
and
known as the "Secret Society" speech (below video-audio):

"The
Rockefellers and their allies have, for at least fifty years,
been carefully following a plan to use
their economic power to gain political control of first America, and
then the rest of the world.�
�
Do I mean conspiracy? Yes, I do.
�
I am
convinced there is such a plot, international in scope, generations old
in planning, and incredibly evil in intent."
Congressman Larry P. McDonald, November
1975,
from the introduction to a book titled
The Rockefeller File

"There
exists a shadowy government with its own Air Force, its own Navy, its
own fundraising mechanism, and the ability to pursue its own ideas of
national interest, free from all checks and balances, and free from the
law itself."

testimony at the Iran Contra Hearings, 1986

In an interview with Jim Lehrer that was aired
on
PBS' News Hour on September 18, 2007 (below audio), formal Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said,
essentially, that the Federal Reserve was above the law and that no agency
of government can overrule their actions:
Jim Lehrer: "What is the proper
relationship, what should be the proper relationship between a chairman
of the FED and a president of the United States?"
�
Alan
Greenspan: "Well, first of all, the
Federal Reserve is an independent agency, and that means, basically,
that there is no other agency of
government which can overrule actions that we take.
�
So long as that is in place and there is no
evidence that the administration or the Congress or anybody else is
requesting that we do things other than what we think is the appropriate
thing, then what the relationships are
don't frankly matter."
�
�
�
�
The fact that
the
FED is above the law was
demonstrated by current FED chairman, Ben Bernanke, during his appearance
before Congress on March 4, 2009 (as
shown in below video):
�
�
�
�
�
�
Senator Bernie Sanders asked Bernanke about $2.2
trillion in American tax dollars that was lent out by Federal Reserve.�
�
Bernanke refused to provide an answer:
Senator Sanders: "Will
you tell the American people to whom you lent $2.2 trillion of their
dollars?� Can you tell us who they are?"
�
Bernanke:
"No"

�
In 1921 the stockholders of the Federal Reserve
financed an organization called the "Council
on Foreign Relations" (CFR).
�
A full discussion on the CFR is beyond the scope
of this article.� Suffice it to say that the CFR likely plays a prominent
role in the invisible government that we have been warned about.��
�
The CFR is alleged to be�the arm of the Ruling Elite in the United States. Most influential
politicians, academics and media personalities are members. The CFR uses its
influence to push their New World Order agenda on the American people.

David Rockefeller
Sr. is the current patriarch
of the Rockefeller family. He is the only surviving grandchild of oil tycoon
John D. Rockefeller, founder of Standard Oil. �Rockefeller began a lifelong
association with the CFR when he joined as a director in 1949. �
�
In Rockefeller's 2002
autobiography "Memoirs" he wrote:
�
"For more than a century ideological
extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon
well-publicized incidents such as my encounter with Castro to attack the
Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over
American political and economic institutions.
�
Some even
believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of
the United States, characterizing my family and me as internationalists and
of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global
political and economic structure - one world, if you will. If that's the
charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it."
�
James Warburg, son of CFR [Council on Foreign
Relations] founder Paul Warburg,
delivered blunt testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on
February 17, 1950:
�
"We shall have world government, whether or not
we like it. The question is only whether world government will be achieved
by consent or by conquest."
�

Cognitive Dissonance
�
"The American
mind simply has not come to a realization of the evil which has been
introduced into our midst. It rejects even the assumption that human
creatures could espouse a philosophy which must ultimately destroy all that
is good and decent."�
J. Edgar Hoover
�
Because of a deep rooted beliefs that the U.S.
government is "for the people" and the protector of the free world, many
will reject the notion of an evil shadow government.�
�
When our beliefs are challenged or when two
beliefs are inconsistent, cognitive dissonance is created. It's human nature
to try to hold our beliefs in harmony with our world view and avoid
disharmony (or dissonance).
�
For those of you who having difficulty believing
the information presented in this article, I fully� understand.� For the
first 57 years of my life, I would not have believed in the possibility that
a shadow government could exist.�
�
Three years ago my world view changed. While on
vacation in Mount Shasta, I came across a book titled "Global Conspiracy"
that seemed strangely out of place in a metaphysical book store.�
�
I had never heard of the author before - some
guy named
David Icke.�
�
I scanned through the book and frankly didn't
believe 99% of what I read.� But, I saw one thing that caught my attention
in that I knew that I could easily verify Icke's assertion.�
�
I did my own research and turned out what Icke
had stated was true.� That led me down a rabbit hole and many, many hundreds
of hours of independent research.
�
So, keep an open mind, do your own research, and
use discernment.

What Can We Do?
"Never doubt
that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the
world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
