"We didn't truly know the dangers of the market, because it was a dark market," says Brooksley Born, the head of an obscure federal regulatory agency -- the Commodity Futures Trading Commission [CFTC] -- who not only warned of the potential for economic meltdown in the late 1990s, but also tried to convince the country's key economic powerbrokers to take actions that could have helped avert the crisis. "They were totally opposed to it," Born says. "That puzzled me. What was it that was in this market that had to be hidden?" In The Warning, veteran FRONTLINE producer Michael Kirk unearths the hidden history of the nation's worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. At the center of it all he finds Brooksley Born, who speaks for the first time on television about her failed campaign to regulate the secretive, multitrillion-dollar derivatives market whose crash helped trigger the financial collapse in the fall of 2008.

Fifteen years after the attack, an Israeli pilot approached Liberty survivors and then held extensive interviews with former Congressman Paul N. (Pete) McCloskey about his role. According to this senior Israeli lead pilot, he recognized the Liberty as American immediately, so informed his headquarters, and was told to ignore the American flag and continue his attack. He refused to do so and returned to base, where he was arrested. Later, a dual-citizen Israeli major told survivors that he was in an Israeli war room where he heard that pilot's radio report. The attacking pilots and everyone in the Israeli war room knew that they were attacking an American ship, the major said. He recanted the statement only after he received threatening phone calls from Israel.

If you believe you are 'dis-info'd' then STOP listening to them.
If you believe money, societal mores, food, etc. are harming you STOP using them.
If you believe 'THEY' are causing the Tree of Liberty to die, then STOP them.
From the dawn of man there has always been a 'THEY' that lie to control 'US'. But every generation or so there is an 'US' that realizes 'THEY' are just people and have no dominion over anyone else.
The Bilderbergs, cough... Illuminati, Trilateral Commission, etc etc etc... are just PEOPLE of average intelligence who have money at their disposal to implement stupid plans that arose in their average brains.
'THEY' don't control 'YOU'. Unless you believe their disinfo, spend their money, obey their laws, eat their food...
Their weakness is that 'THEY' don't believe there is a slumbering beast that can rise against them. 'THEY' look out from their penthouses and cannot conceive of 'YOU' having the cajones to dump their tea in the harbor.
If you are going to fight 'THEY' then join together FOR something. Don't fly headlong into revolution because you are 'AGAINST' something.
If you aren't FOR anything, then you are FOR nothing.

Hell, not all zionists are even jewish. I believe everyone has a right to claim a home. You could consider me "zionist" in certain light.
I don't believe all zionists are NWO.
All of that being said, I do believe NWO aspirations include zionism. Israel as we know it seems to be striving for mid-east dominance. I don't agree with the ethnic cleansing, or the tyranical immorally biased treatment of the Palestinians. In fact, Israel kinda reminds me of a young U.S. with a few differences... It makes me wonder if the NWO is seeking perpetual dominance or trying to ultimately usher in some kind of biblical-based armageddon.

I get it, guy. I didn't say it was specifically and solely any one group, did I? I merely meant that I see Israel/Mossad as an arm of said elite; that I do believe. Excuse my talking "around my elbow to get to my @sshole."
Your hostility isn't to inviting of anyone to really take you seriously. Aggression usually triggers aggressive response unless you're dealing with a submissive individual, or in my case, passive... towards you because I recognize you as not being my enemy. But for future reference, you may want to tone back the emotion if you aim to "wake anyone up."
I have to say that many NWO posts rub me the wrong way.

Way out in front is casino mogul Sheldon Adelson, who, along with family members, has contributed $26.5 million. Most of that went to the super PAC supporting Newt Gingrich for president.
Investor Harold Simmons of Texas ranks second. Simmons, his wife Annette and his company, Contran Corp., have given $16.7 million.
