Dead Presidents Are Crying Out to You, Will You Please Listen? (Part 1)

Past presidents of the United States and numerous other high profile political leaders in the U.S. have repeatedly warned us over the last 200 years that there is something totally unacceptable happening in the land of the free that is “monstrous” and “incredibly evil in intent.”  Yet, 95% of American’s are completely oblivious to what is going on right under their noses (and in the skies above).  As a result our collective inattentiveness, we have thus far allowed evil to be carried out on a massive scale.

“Blind belief in authority is the greatest enemy of the truth.” – Albert Einstein

If you are already awake and aware, then this article is for you to share with those who are not.  Included is a simple strategy for delivering disturbing truths in a manner that gives you a much greater chance of getting through to those who are currently unaware or in denial.

This article lists over a dozen crystal clear warnings (quotes) that all Americans should know about. Also included are shocking statements by Federal Reserve Chairman’s Alan Greenspan and Ben Bernanke that confirm some of the warnings. All of the quotes have been verified as authentic and have associated links to source materials.

“Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”- George Santayana

With knowledge, we can make informed choices.  We can choose to take action to prevent despicable deeds from occurring occur again and again.

“Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting different results.” ― Albert Einstein

However, it is insane for us to think that things will change for the better if most of us continue to do nothing.  Ignoring the problems and pretending that they don’t exist will not make things better and likely will result in things getting worse – potentially much worse.

If you consider yourself to be a “Light Worker” and believe all you need to do is think positive (love and light) and can ignore the darkness in the world, please consider becoming a “Light Warrior” – one who not only spreads love and light, but is also awake, aware, and takes positive action in order to create a better world.

Before we get to the quotes, let us first examine why so many are uninformed and what we can do about it.

Our Beliefs Determine the Information that We are Willing to Hear

Our beliefs determine the information that we are willing to listen to and accept as truth. Rather than facts driving our beliefs, our beliefs determine the facts that we chose to accept.  In a 2010 article titled “How Facts Backfire” and published in the Boston Globe, Joe Keohane wrote:

“In a series of studies in 2005 and 2006, researchers at the University of Michigan found that when misinformed people, particularly political partisans, were exposed to corrected facts in news stories, they rarely changed their minds. In fact, they often became even more strongly set in their beliefs. Facts, they found, were not curing misinformation.”

Keohane went on to quote one of the researchers of the study:

“The general idea is that it’s absolutely threatening to admit you’re wrong,” says political scientist Brendan Nyhan, the lead researcher on the Michigan study. The phenomenon — known as “backfire” — is “a natural defense mechanism to avoid that cognitive dissonance.”

Cognitive Dissonance

Cognitive dissonance relates to the concept of being presented information that conflicts with our beliefs, which are primarily based upon a massive number of messages that we have received from parents, teachers, and media about what is true, what is possible, and what is important.

Cognitive dissonance theory holds that our minds are not always flexible or rational when assessing information that is in conflict with our beliefs.

“Conspiracy theories” create cognitive dissonance for many people.  According to Robert Hopper, Ph.D., who is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, “9/11 truth challenges our most fundamental beliefs about our government and about our country.  When your beliefs are challenged or when two beliefs are inconsistent, cognitive dissonance is created.  9/11 truth challenges the beliefs that our country protects and keeps us safe, and that America is the good guy…. When your beliefs are challenged, fear and anxiety are created. In response to that, our psychological defenses kick in and they protect us from these emotions.  Denial… is most likely to kick in when our beliefs are challenged.”

To learn more on cognitive dissonance, see the article and video “Psychologists Explain 9/11 Denial Despite Hard Scientific Evidence.”

We Will Do Just About Anything to Defend our Mental and Emotional Homes

“If we can think of our worldview as sort of being our mental and emotional home, I think that all of us will do just about anything to defend our homes, to defend our families.  I see that with people.  I saw that with myself when my brother tried to talk to me about it: ‘Don’t mess with me. Don’t mess with my home.  Don’t mess with my comfort with how things are.’” – Dorthy Lorig, M.A., Counseling Psychologist

We Refuse to Believe Truth that is Not Bearable

“So, whenever we say “I refuse to believe”, we can be sure that the evidence that’s coming our way is not bearable and it is conflicting with our worldview much too much.” – Frances Shure, M.A., Licensed Professional Counselor

Raise Awareness with Gentle Dialogue, Meeting People Where They Are At, and Sneaking Up with the Information

“One thing is that we need to raise people’s awareness about this – what I would call gentle dialogue and gentle questioning…  It doesn’t work to challenge people’s beliefs…  A good way is to ask open ended questions that lead to open dialogue and discussion about it.” – John Freedom, M.A., Personal Development Counselor

“So, how can we overcome this resistance in denial?  The first thing is to meet people where they are at.” – Robert Hopper, Ph.D., Licensed Clinical Psychologist

“You’ve got to sneak up with it.  You have to put it in a way that people understand it.  You have to start where they are: their beliefs, their understanding, and their sense of reality.  Otherwise it won’t make any sense to them.” – Thomas Campbell, nuclear physicist and consciousness researcher

For example, you could ask the following question: “Have you seen the documentary called Thrive?  It is about the state of our world now and how much better it could be for us and generations to follow.  Rather than struggling to survive, humanity could actually thrive. It’s a marvelous and very important film.  I give it my highest recommendation.  You can watch it at thrivemovement.com and elsewhere on the net. I’d really like to hear what you think about it.”  Or, you could suggest that you watch it together.  Or, better yet, you could invite a small group to watch it in your home.

Here’s another example question: “Have you ever really listened to JFK’s speech that he gave to newspaper publishers?  It’s perhaps the most important speech ever delivered by a U.S. president.  And, it’s as relevant today as it was then.”  You could send them a link, or suggest that you listen to it together.  Listen to Kennedy’s speech.

Do you get the idea?  Gentle dialogue.  Gentle questioning.  Don’t impose your beliefs on people at first or try to summarize the message that you want them to hear.  Allow the documentary, video, or audio to speak for itself.  Then, be available for questions and more gentle dialogue.

 Warnings from Dead Presidents and Other High Profile Politicians

The warnings, which appear below in chronological order, began with our first president – George Washington.  The last president to speak out was JFK, who, as you well know, was assassinated.    Let’s see what they and others had to say.  Some emphasis (bolding) has been added to point out the key phrases.

“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, endeavoured to propagate the diabolical tenets of the first, or pernicious principles of the latter (if they are susceptible of seperation). That Individuals of them may… actually had a seperation 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.”  Calhoun served as Jackson’s vice-president from 1829-1932.

“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

“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)

“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 superstate — a superstate 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

“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.  Listen to Kennedy’s speech.

“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.” – Daniel K. Inouye, US Senator from Hawaii, testimony at the Iran Contra Hearings, 1986

In an interview with Jim Lehrer that was aired on PBS’ News Hour on September 18, 2007 that you can watch on YouTube, 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 this 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”

So, Who Is Running the Show in The U.S.?

In part 2, we will identify the “ruthless power-seeking elite” that does not have to answer to “the President, the Congress, nor the courts.”  Obviously, from the quotes above, the Federal Reserve is involved.  But, who controls the Fed?  Stay tuned…

Ye are many-they are few.
