We are writing you because we are convinced that current American policy toward Iraq is not succeeding, and that we may soon face a threat in the Middle East more serious than any we have known since the end of the Cold War.
In your upcoming State of the Union Address, you have an opportunity to chart a clear and determined course for meeting this threat.
The policy of “containment” of Saddam Hussein has been steadily eroding over the past several months. As recent events have demonstrated, we can no longer depend on our partners in the Gulf War coalition to continue to uphold the sanctions or to punish Saddam when he blocks or evades UN inspections. Our ability to ensure that Saddam Hussein is not producing weapons of mass destruction, therefore, has substantially diminished.
As you have rightly declared, Mr. President, the security of the world in the first part of the 21st century will be determined largely by how we handle this threat.
In the near term, this means a willingness to undertake military action as diplomacy is clearly failing. In the long term, it means removing Saddam Hussein and his regime from power. That now needs to become the aim of American foreign policy.
"Now, I have to go back to work on my State of the Union speech. And I worked on it until pretty late last night. But I want to say one thing to the American people. I want you to listen to me. I'm going to say this again: I did not have ******* relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. I never told anybody to lie, not a single time; never. These allegations are false. And I need to go back to work for the American people. Thank you”

Great thread, well written and free of any sensationalist claims. Do you think that London 2012 is going to be the next step in the game, or just a distraction?
Good threat, but you have to wonder, if 911 never happened, would so many people be awakening right now?
What is the true goal of TPTB?..... power, control....... or give evolution a booster shot?

First of all Wonderer2012, this is an excellent thread.
Although I generally dislike referring to nebulous and undefined threats like TPTB or the word that simply should never be used... the illuminati...the work of a behind the scenes group is blatantly obvious.
I personally believe that one of the first people to see the machinations of this shadowy group was Bill Cooper; however, like most he fell prey to the same mistake of simply naming secret societies as being at fault.
Once again, in my personal opinion, the only true conspiracy to ever exist on the face of the planet is the means by which a small clique of elite families propagate.
But this is not necessarily a conspiracy.
Just as PNAC is not a conspiracy.
The dubious history of the establishment of the middle eastern British imperial state of Israel is not a conspiracy.
And the influence that policy driven think-tanks have on modern politics is not a conspiracy.
The efforts to blackmail high level politicians are not the myth of conspiracy.
Sibel Edmonds has openly discussed, at length, the degree to which Israeli and Turkish intelligence officers have infiltrated the FBI and now control a black market dealing in nuclear armaments.
In certain circles the stories of Paul Bonacci, Troy Bonner, and Alicia Owen are well known as tales of children being used as prostitutes for high level politicians, escapades that were videotaped or captured on film by Roy Nelson in order to blackmail and influence politics.
Tales of child prostitution that have been proven in Federal Court.
But these things are never the focus of most conversations and I do not understand if it is because of some innate behavioral aversion to discussion of these matters or if some other esoteric mechanism is involved.
Which brings me to this comment by Village Idiot.

I really do give this idea a good bit of thought at times.
What is driving this period of evolution?
I cannot deny what is happening. If I believe that we are evolving as a species and this driving force is not a randomly generated event with no purpose, which I do primarily because I do not believe that intelligent life simply evolves randomly, then what is the point?
Bill Cooper used to say that the United States was set up by the masons as an experiment to see if we were ready to handle true freedom.
If we were, then it was ours for the taking, but if not, then we could lose our freedoms through the ability to contract.
Are we taking our freedom?
Do we even deserve to have it?
I really don't know.
The environmental signs that we are upon a moment of time in history that is without parallel are obvious, but what is the driving force, and if control is the key, then what is the true endgame?
I still believe in humanity and I, personally, see a much brighter tomorrow.
But like a wise man once told me while sitting in a jail cell...
It is always the darkest before a sunny day.

Sunstein co-authored a 2008 paper with Adrian Vermeule, titled "Conspiracy Theories," dealing with the risks and possible government responses to false conspiracy theories resulting from "cascades" of faulty information within groups that may ultimately lead to violence. In this article they wrote, "The existence of both domestic and foreign conspiracy theories, we suggest, is no trivial matter, posing real risks to the government’s antiterrorism policies, whatever the latter may be." They go on to propose that, "the best response consists in cognitive infiltration of extremist groups",[25] where they suggest, among other tactics, "Government agents (and their allies) might enter chat rooms, online social networks, or even real-space groups and attempt to undermine percolating conspiracy theories by raising doubts about their factual premises, causal logic or implications for political action."[25] They refer, several times, to groups that promote the view that the US Government was responsible or complicit in the September 11 attacks as "extremist groups." They also suggest responses: "We can readily imagine a series of possible responses. (1) Government might ban conspiracy theorizing. (2) Government might impose some kind of tax, financial or otherwise, on those who disseminate such theories."[
