Perhaps the Grandest Conspiracy of all!! Isn't it curious??

For decades there have been debates about the authenticity of "The Report from Iron Mountain". I will trust most here know what this 'report' is, and what it is about, so I won't go into much detail about or its contents.

In short the alleged government report, which was later challenged as satire by it's supposed author, Leonard Lewin, stated that the US economy as well as others of the western world was not sustainable without war. I'm paraphrasing here, so don't get to crazy on me about the exact wording. The 'report' was allegedly a study commissioned by the US government to determine if lasting peace was economically feasible in the absence of war. The conclusion of the 'report' was that peace was not economically feasible without war. However, it did speculate about other possibilities which might fit the criteria of creating a common enemy of the people. After much controversy Lewin would ultimately step forward in 1972 and publicly claim the book was only satire.

The book was originally published by Dial Press in 1967 without any clear claim of authorship other than a forward by Lewin. I'm fast forwarding through a lot of history here so be nice, I'm just hitting the highlights to illustrate a point. The book was re-released in 1990 by another publisher without permission. Lewin sued the publisher for copyright infringement and won. So, it seems reasonably safe to say Lewin actually was the original author.

Okay, so here's where things get interesting. When Lewin made his statement in 1972, he said...(his book) was "as outrageous, morally and intellectually" as the "Pentagon Papers" were at the time. This is curious, because as many of us know, the Pentagon Papers (which were fully declassified in 2011) turned out to be very real indeed. As many here also know, part of the Nixon Watergate scandal involved Nixon directing his 'plumbers' to get dirt on and discredit the man who leaked the Pentagon Papers to the NYT, Daniel Ellsberg. Prior to this the Pentagon Papers had been propagandized as fantasy and satire, ironically, just like... the Report from Iron Mountain was.

Stay with me here because it gets even better...

Now we're going to rewind a little further. In 1962 John Frankenheimer produced the film The Manchurian Candidate, starring Frank Sinatra. The movie was based on the 1959 novel by the same name written by Richard Condon. The film would be mysteriously vanish from circulation in 1963 and not meaningfully resurface until 1988. Over the years many theories have circulated about the possible connections between the movie and the 1963 JFK assassination. Even today these theories circulate. Was the movie the trigger? Who knows, but interestingly Frankenheimer was personal friends with Robert Kennedy, and he even drove him to his acceptance speech the night he was assassinated.

So, what do we make out of all this gobbeldy-gook?

1. The Manchurian Candidate predicts an assassination on the president. Less than a year later the president is assassinated.
2. The Pentagon Papers are alleged to be fake and are ultimately later proven to be absolutely true, and
3. The book Report from Iron Mountain says there needs to be war for a stable economy, and there has been ever since it was written, but it is passed off as satire.

Now, remember way back at the beginning of this OP where I noted the Report from Iron Mountain left the door open for a couple of real or imagined "other" possibilities? Well, one of those possibilities was theorized to be that something like an "external menace" (i.e. 'Aliens' / Extra-terrestrials) could take the place of a war to create a common enemy. Some others were:

- A threat of global environmental concern which affects the overall well being of all society, and...
- A health epidemic of such proportion that mankind's survival could be impacted.

And what do we have before us?
1. War
2. Global Warming
3. COVID-19

How long before we find out the Report from Iron Mountain was real after all?

Something to consider.

The End.

Your generation has alot to answer for.

The "Pentagon Papers" for those interested essentially said the American public had been lied to by the Johnson administration about the war in Vietnam, and that the objectives were much different than those which had been publicly stated. Just FYI.

Great thread! S&F! I wasn't even aware of the book (although, being in my 50's, I really should be.).
I remember one of my high school history teachers pointing out that war is good for the economy
and as such, there is every reason to start or propagate them. It also hearkens back to and dovetails
with Eisenhower's famous warning about the military industrial complex.

WHy do you think the governments have been conditioning people heavily for the past few years about UFO's and the fact that they exist..... They wont give the whole truth.... only enough to make people believe its an outer space phenomenon (which is false), and very soon there will be the crown jewel in their plan, the fake alien invasion!


Be ready, dont fall for it!

Great Thread.

Dovetails nicely with our current geopolitical climate.

I think Covid is like the gift that keeps on taking, it's the perfect setup for the New Normal World Order.

Corporations and Employers are going to refuse onsite service/employment to the unvaxed. That way Constitutions and Rights can be easily circumvented.

The report is real.

Where's the damn flying car I was promised in the 80s?

So is trumps "Space Force" a nothing burger? But it should be advantageous in combatting a fake alien invasion, right?

Thanks FDC. I have a lot of reading to do. My wife and I have been waiting on the Aliens for months it a 2020 thing. The BS has been incredibly deep this year.

In another thread here today someone mentioned John Lear. I didn't know a lot about him so I did some brief research.

Lear is the disinherited son of Bill Lear, the inventor of the Learjet among numerous other things. John Lear was apparently a member here on ATS sometime in the past. He was apparently friends with Bob Lazar. I can't vouch for his credentials, but they seem somewhat dubious at face value (although he seems to have the memorabilia to back it up). Some think he's a crackpot. Personally, I don't know what to believe anymore, on a whole lot of different fronts.

Anyway, I watched an interview with Lear which was clearly recorded a while ago. Someone asked him if he was certain there were aliens at Area 51, and he said he was positive. Then they asked him if he thought their presence would ever be revealed. His answer was curious. He said there was a time when he thought the information would be released, but he doesn't think so now...under any circumstances. He stated the reason was because it would create an unresolvable paradox with established religion, and this would create far more problems in society than it would solve. Of all the things a UFO proponent would use as a reason, using religion was not one I would expect.

Probably a nothing burger, but I thought that was a curious response.

Wow.

I was going to quote one, but then I realized all your posts were grotesque.

The OP brought something thought provoking here. Something that hasn’t been discussed ad nauseam, for once.

It is very clear, that the new red banner across the top of the page, is inciting the true nature of some massively inflated egos — going out in a blaze of glory. 🔥

Lay off the vodka dude.

All "children" live the "nightmare" of their forefathers! It's not a choice.

Just like I do mine, and the older generations they came from.

Oh, and not sure if it was a typo, but I'm not a "fag".

You are not a fag, but you support a "fag". You seem to be a fence sitter to me, and that is fine. I not care, what I care about is that you it seems, much like my parents - even though "conservative" - keep thinking that your blabbering means jack # to you enemies.

You are aptly named, dude.

Sure we do, but at least most of us know our enemy and don't share beers with them around the fire.


See the difference is that your generation argued the love of difference. We deal with that. Maybe not in the stix, but where I am, in the suburbs, I am tired of it.

I want "equality", but not at my #ing expense. And believe me, it is at my expense, maybe not money or property wise (yet), but 100 percent culturally.

You have no idea where I am going with this. So its good.

To be honest nothing would surprise me with the way things are going this year, Alien invasion? Sure why not haha

“Today, America would be outraged if UN troops entered Los Angeles to restore order. Tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there was an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all people of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the World Government.”

So you are thinking everything is just going to be ok?

I have news for you. There is about to be alot of human suffering and it is the direct result of milktoast nonsense that hat existed and still exists for the hope and dreams of horrible human reality.


It doesnt matter what sex or color you are. It doesnt matter who you want to lead you via a vote.

And to me, I see the selection of Biden is a giant flashing red light and I am willing to fight it. And I will.
