"Government's view of the economy
could
be summed up in a few short phrases:
If it moves, tax it. If it keeps
moving, regulate it.
And if it stops moving,
subsidize
it."
"Ronald
Reagan was one of the nearly 100 million
Americans who tuned in on November
20, 1983, to watch the television
movie "The Day After," about the
consequences of a nuclear
holocaust.
In his diary, Ronald Reagan reported that the movie left
him "greatly depressed."
According to the film's director, after the
Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty was signed in Reykjavik, Iceland, in
1987, he received a telegram from Reagan's office saying: "Don't think your movie
didn't have any part of this, because it did." - Kelly M.

"To watch
Afghan freedom fighters
battle modern arsenals with simple hand-held weapons is an inspiration to
freedom lovers." - Ronald Reagan, March 21, 1983
"The "favor bank" of
Roy Cohn and his
unique position as a liaison between the criminal underworld, the rich and
famous, and top media influencers made him a force to be reckoned with.
Yet, it was his political connections to leadership figures in both the
Republican and Democratic parties and his close relationship to long-time FBI
Director J. Edgar Hoover, among other figures, that made him and his dark
secret "untouchable" for much of his life.
Though most of his political
influence was forged in the 1950s, Cohn became even more powerful with the rise
of Ronald Reagan.
Among Cohn’s friends were top media personalities
like Barbara Walters, former CIA directors, Ronald Reagan and wife Nancy, media
moguls Rupert Murdoch and Mort Zuckerman, numerous celebrities, prominent
lawyers like Alan Dershowitz, top figures in the Catholic Church and leading
Jewish organizations like B’nai B’rith and the World Jewish Congress.
Many of the same names that surrounded Cohn until death in the late
1980s would later come to surround Jeffrey Epstein, with their names later
appearing in Epstein’s now-infamous "little black book". " - Whitney Webb,
Government by Blackmail
Ronald
Reagan's cultural optimism made
him a larger than life
hero.
Survival of an assassination attempt set his legendary life in
stone.
"A moment I've been dreading.
George
brought his n'er-do-well son
around this morning.
He asked me to find the kid a job.
Not the
political one who lives in Florida.
The one who hangs around here all
the time looking shiftless.
This so-called kid is already almost 40 and
never had a real job.
Maybe I'll call Kinsley over at The New Republic and see if
they'll hire him as a contributing editor or something.
That looks like
easy work." - REAGAN DIARIES, May 17, 1986

Diplomacy
"Ronald Reagan's administration brought CIA tactics
to bear domestically to reshape the way Americans
perceive the world."
- Robert Parry
November 23,
1981
Reagan approves National Security Directive 77:
$19.3 million to Contras.
The directive is made after the Contras have
begun earning a gruesome reputation as
human rights violators and
terrorists.
To change this negative
perception of the
Contras, the Reagan administration designs
a full-blown,
clandestine propaganda operation.
Reagan
Doctrine consisted mainly of supporting four anticommunist and
ostensibly pro-democratic insurgencies:
UNITA in
Angola, Khmer Rouge in
Cambodia, Mujahedeen in
Afghanistan and Contras in
Nicaragua.
Reagan Doctrine also included support of the
Baath Party of Iraq.
In
retrospect, the results of this policy were decidedly mixed even though Saddam
Hussein was able to avert imminent defeat in the war with Iran.
Insiders claim many of the
Executive Orders given by
Reagan were actually authored by George HW Bush or his legal
associates.
His adminstration did precisely the opposite of his stated
goals:
campaigned as an implacable foe of government deficit spending
but he left office with a federal debt nearly triple its level when he took
office;
vowed to shrink government and eliminate Cabinet departments but
he wound up adding one, the Department of Veterans Affairs;
fired
striking air traffic
controllers ultimately destroying their union although at one time he was
union president of the Screen Actors Guild;
claimed he would
never bow to
terrorists and yet his administration supplied arms and spare parts to
Iran in an arms-for-hostages
deal.
1983 Reagan proposes $110 million for
increased arms aid to El Salvador.
National Security Directive 77
authorizes 'Project Democracy.'
'Project Democracy' gathers together 44
separate proposals for seminars, institutes, publications, and fellowships, to
be engaged by private foundations.
'Project Democracy':
Reagan tries to export the US way of governing
Funding comes from
the National Endowment of Democracy orginally funded with $80 million
from Congress.
Henry Kissinger and the ex-wife of
William Colby are
directors.
The Office of Public Diplomacy for Latin America and the
Caribbean in the State Department (S/LPD) is headed by Otto Reich*, a Cuban
exile.
The S/LPD collaborates with CIA propaganda experts and Army
psyops specialists to influence public opinion in support funding the military
campaign against Sandinista government.
William Joseph Casey
includes the use of seasoned
intelligence specialists to change the opinion of Congress and the American
public into supporting human
rights violators and terrorists.
Involved in the propaganda
initiative is Walter Raymond Jr. - chief of the Intelligence Directorate of the
National Security Council, and Donald Gregg - a
specialist in propaganda and disinformation.
A
senior American official described the Office of Public Diplomacy of the
National Security Council as 'a vast
psychological warfare
operation on the scale the military conducts to influence a population in
enemy territory.'
Intelligence experts from the Army's 4th
Psychological Operations Group at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, are assigned
to work with Otto Reich.

February 26 1985 National
Security Decision Directive 166,29 is a secret plan to escalate covert action
in Afghanistan dramatically.
Abandoning a policy of harassment of Soviet
occupiers, an array of US high technology and military expertise is applied in
an effort demoralize Soviets.
CIA supplies mujahideen
rebels with:
extensive
satellite
reconnaissance of Soviet targets;
speculation on military operations
based on the satellite
intelligence;
intercepts of Soviet communications to plan
sophisticated guerrilla attacks;
encrypted communications networks for
rebels;
delayed timing devices for C-4 plastic explosives for
urban sabotage;
long-range sniper rifles; a targeting device for mortars that was
linked to a US Navy satellite; wire-guided anti-tank missiles, and other
equipment.

Corporate Air Services, to a meeting with the Contras.
Tatum,
given a sealed cooler marked "Vaccine" weighing ~ 200 pounds, is instructed to
deliver it to a USAF C-130 transport plane at La Mesa Airport, Honduras.
Crew members offloading the cooler drop it, breaking the seal.
Inside are over 100 kilos of cocaine.
Chip Tatum is reminded of
earlier missions dating back to 1983-84 when he was stationed at Fort Campbell,
Kentucky, as a Special Operations pilot.
Regularly he trans-shiped
white coolers, marked as "Medical Supplies", to Little Rock Air Force Base,
Arkansas.
On two occasions he carried similar coolers to Mena Airport,
Arkansas.
Deliveries of medical coolers to Little Rock AFB were picked
up by Dan R. Lasater - a close confidant of the then Arkansas Governor Bill
Clinton.
Dan R. Lasater bought Angel Fire Resort on the Enchanted
Circle Scenic Byway just a few miles from Donald Rumsfeld's digs in 1984 for
$19 million.
Angel Fire Resort went bankrupt and was purchased by a
group of Texas investors for $12 million in 1995.

Walter Raymond Jr.
sends a memo to William Casey
which described a shift of control of the S/LPD to the control of the Bureau of
Inter-American Affairs, which is headed by Assistant Secretary of State
Elliott Abrams*.
Richard R. Miller and Francis D. Gomez are hired by S/LPD through
sole-source, no-bid
contracts to carry out 'activities' in Central America.
They became
the key link between the State Department and the Reagan
White House with the
private groups and individuals engaged in a myriad of endeavors aimed at
influencing the Congress and public opinion.
An investigation by the
congressional General Accounting Office finds the Office of Public Diplomacy of
the National Security Council has
engaged in 'prohibited, covert propaganda activities' under the cover of
darkness.
American journalists

A
"ceaseless stream" of CIA
and Pentagon officials visit Pakistani Inter-Services
Intelligence (ISI) headquarters in Rawalpindi.
During the Afghan
fighting season, as many as 11 ISI teams trained and supplied by the CIA
accompany mujahideen to
supervise attacks.
The teams attack airports,
railroads, fuel depots,
electricity pylons, bridges.
CIA operations officers help
establish mujahideen
schools for secure communications, guerrilla warfare, urban sabotage and
heavy
weapons.
Mujahideen use chemical and
electronic delay bomb timers supplied by the US carry out numerous car bombings
and assassinations in Kabul.
"The influence of establishment insiders over our
foreign policy has become a
fact of life in our time.
This pervasive influence runs contrary to the
real long-term
national security of our Nation.
It is an
influence which, if unchecked,
could ultimately subvert our
constitutional order.
The viewpoint of the establishment today is
called globalism.
In the
globalist point of view, nation-states and national boundaries do not count for
anything.
Political
philosophies and political
principles seem to become simply relative.
Indeed, even
constitutions are irrelevant to the
exercise of power.
Liberty and
tyranny are viewed as
neither necessarily good nor evil, and certainly not an element of policy.
In this point of view, the
activities of
international financial and industrial forces should be orientated to
bringing this one world design - with a convergence of the Soviet and American
systems as its centerpiece - into being.
All that matters
to this club is the
maximization of profits resulting from the practice of what can be described as
finance capitalism, a system which rests upon the twin pillars of
debt and
monopoly.
This
isn't real capitalism.
It is the road
to economic concentration and
to political slavery." - Senator
Jesse Helms 15 December 1987

"Unification Church founder Sun Myung Moon, publisher of the
Washington Times, also showed up in the
Iran-Contra operations, using
his newspaper to raise
contra funds and assigning his CAUSA political group to organize support for
the contras.
In the two decades since the
Iran-Contra
scandal, both Rupert Murdoch and Sun Myung Moon have continued to pour
billions of dollars into media
outlets that have influenced the course of US history, often through the
planting of propaganda and disinformation much like a CIA covert action might
do in a hostile foreign country." - Robert Parry

The Salvadoran Oligarchs were
complicit in creating the right-wing death squads that murdered
Archbishop Oscar Romero,
depopulated the
Guazapo volcano area through execution and terrorism,
instigated the El Mozote
massacre and murdered Jesuit priests at the University of Central
America.
Murders of Jesuits in El Salvador
Spanish trial of soldiers who killed priests
The wave
of refugees and children that settled near MacArthur Park, just west of
downtown Los Angeles, California would never have left El Salvador and been
able to form the gang MS-13, a criminal enterprise, had
the federal
government under the administration of
Ronald Reagan not
supported the ruling oligarchs.
"Two decades ago, it was a civil
war, with soldiers, death squads and guerrillas
spilling the blood. Now it's gangs
(thousands of members originally from Los Angeles), drug-fueled crime, abusive
police officers - all the makings of a bloodletting that has terrified the
population and contributed in recent elections to the unseating of the party
that ruled for 20 years.
In the first three months of 2009, by official
government count, an average of nearly 12 people a day were slain.
This
in a tiny, densely populated nation of nearly 7 million with a homicide rate
roughly five times that of Mexico and 10 times that of the US at this
time.
Life is cheap in El Salvador. Throw in drugs and impunity, and a
flawed judicial system whereby few if any killings are ever solved, and the
death toll will continue to climb. With the lawless atmosphere, ordinary
business disputes and personal vendettas are readily solved by physical attack.
Gun shops, which barely existed a decade ago, are common neighborhood
features. You can hire someone to kill a rival for $50; for $100 if you want to
see the body.
One of El Salvador's
leading human rights
organizations has analyzed homicides every year since 2004 and concluded
that hundreds were committed by
rogue police
officers, private security guards and people hired to carry out "social
cleansing" - the elimination of undesirables through extrajudicial
executions." - Tracy Wilkinson 05/12/09
Authorities scramble to contain
forces unleashed by past American policies.
The civil war in El Salvador
displaced a half million people.
Many refugees who fled
the American backed civil war
against insurgents in El
Salvador settled near MacArthur Park, just west of downtown Los Angeles,
California.
Many of
the children had fought with leftist guerrillas or had been hardened by the
bloodletting they witnessed.
These children among the refugees
formed a gang in the 1980s called MS-13, which loosely translated means
Salvadoran Gang 13.
As the gang grew, immigration officials began a
decade long campaign to deport members, including ex-convicts and hardened
leaders who helped spread MS-13 across Central America and solidify its
structure.
MS-13, an entrepreneurial criminal gang, has been compared
to a terrorist organization.
This gang would not have congealed,
taken root and grown to
encompass cities throughout Central and North America if the brutal civil war
had not been fought in El Salvador.
There is
a real possibility that
this war would not have been so devastating if the administration of the US
government under Ronald Reagan had not supported the ruling oligarchs.

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational purposes only.
This website defines a new
perspective with which to engage reality to which its author adheres. The
author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has
forged a populace unable to discern propaganda from reality and that this has
been done purposefully by an international corporate cartel through their
agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of reality on the human race.
Religious intolerance occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious
practices, religious beliefs or persons due to their religious ideology. This
web site marks the founding of a system of philosophy named The Truth of the
Way of the Lumière Infinie - a rational gnostic mystery religion based
on reason which requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme
leader, no church buildings and in which each and every individual is
encouraged to develop a personal relation with the Creator and Sustainer
through the pursuit of the knowledge of reality in the hope of curing the
spiritual corruption that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of The
Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on
this web site by the author. Violent acts against individuals due to their
religious beliefs in America is considered a "hate crime."
This web site
in no way condones violence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the
violence that is already occurring due to the international corporate cartels
desire to control the human race. The international corporate cartel already
controls the world economic system, corporate media worldwide, the global
industrial military entertainment complex and is responsible for the collapse
of morals, the elevation of self-centered behavior and the destruction of
global ecosystems. Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation
does not occur at the point of a gun.
American social mores and values
have declined precipitously over the last century as the corrupt international
cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to
deceive the populace in general through corporate media by pressing emotional
buttons which have been preprogrammed into the population through prior
corporate media psychological operations. The results have been the destruction
of the family and the destruction of social structures that do not adhere to
the corrupt international elites vision of a perfect world. Through distraction
and coercion the direction of thought of the bulk of the population has been
directed toward solutions proposed by the corrupt international elite that
further consolidates their power and which further their purposes.
