The Sandy Hook School massacre of December 14 has no doubt been seized upon by the present police state as a raison d’être for heightened gun control measures. Yet a more subtle element of the event is the promotion of a political worldview under the cloak of psychiatry and an increasingly prominent notion of “community building.”[1]

Stepping into the emotional fallout of December’s mass shooting is Dr. John Woodall. The former Harvard psychiatrist was almost immediately making the rounds in Newtown, consoling the grief stricken and advocating a seemingly unique communitarian creed. Woodall’s presence was unsurprising for locals since he resides in Sandy Hook, where his “Unity Project” non-profit is also based. What is more, the event was eerily appropriate for the “teaching children resilience” mission Woodall’s organization was already undertaking in Newtown area schools. Unity Project had already contributed to such exercises following major crises including 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina.

At first glance the Unity Project appears to be yet another new agey, “let go of the hate” platform for Woodall’s pop-humanist psychology. We must learn to overcome our ordeals and look beyond our differences on the way to one big group hug. The organization has created such a program for the youth of Newtown’s high school where students have been encouraged to fill out a psychological survey and  negotiate with administrators and teachers to lessen the homework load.[2]

On its face the prospect of developing well-rounded and engaged citizens sounds desirable. Who wants to be considered a holdout against local cooperation, peaceful coexistence, even global trade harmonization? The consequence these days includes running the risk of being deemed a grouchy extremist. Perhaps this is why groups are actively espousing and disseminating Unity Project precepts in schools and communities throughout the world.

“As we move more deeply into a national and global climate fraught with complex and nuanced problems,” Woodall explains,

young people need to become masters of working with this complexity and diversity in cooperative and constructive ways. Our democracy and the happiness of our lives depend upon it. Young people need to know how to recognize bias, see the big picture and resist and problem solve cooperatively and to resist the human tendency to allow fear and anger to pull us to simplistic and extremist solutions that only create division and conflict and end up worsening the problems we face.[3]

This exact doctrine was articulated in Woodall’s December 14 remarks to the Associated Press.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNr63Zw8dk8

I do this for a living—I do trauma work for a living. I ran programs overseas for the State Department. I’ve worked in school shootings before. But all that—none of that counts. All that counts at that moment is that another human being is there for you … It’s a strong community. It’s a resilient community. The task now is for the community to give this a meaning. It’s like in New York City after 9/11. The lesson of 9/11 wasn’t that we should be afraid or angry, or bitter or blame or point fingers. The lesson of 9/11 is that we’re all in this together and we need to show compassion for each other to give meaning to the loss.

In Woodall’s evaluation the death and horror from such events constitute a sort of nightmarish martyrdom from which a greater good will arise. Indeed, many of the Sandy Hook victims’ families publicly exhibit this very ability to unemotionally cope with profound loss, an ostensible response and mindset that does not go unnoticed by the broader public.[4] The wide exposure of this apparent struggle suggests a mass conditioning toward the community resilience that is a foremost element of what contemporary social engineers have termed the “Newtown transition.”

Along these lines and throughout the bulk of Woodall’s writings and pronouncements there is a clear resemblance to the precepts of the Bahá’í faith, to which Woodall is a devotee. Even though his professional training and pedigree suggest a “scientific” (qua psychiatry) approach to personal and community problems, Woodall’s writings are essentially those espoused by the Bahá’ís. He just seldom declares such affiliations or beliefs publicly.[5] An exception was when Woodall and his spouse Margo Woodall recited Bahá’í passages at the December 16, 2012 interfaith gathering for Sandy Hook victims attended by President Obama.

From its headquarters in Haifa Israel and under the authority of the Universal House of Justice, Bahá’í is overseen country-to-country by National and Local Spiritual Assemblies. The religion is an international phenomenon, with its spiritual founder prophesying a global socio-political transformation under the Bahá’í order’s aegis. “The Bahá’í Faith is the youngest of the world’s independent religions,” the International Bahá’í Community website notes.

Its founder, Bahá’u’lláh (1817-1892), is regarded by Bahá’ís as the most recent in the line of Messengers of God that stretches back beyond recorded time and that includes Abraham, Moses, Buddha, Krishna, Zoroaster, Christ and Muhammad. The central theme of Bahá’u’lláh’s message is that humanity is one single race and that the day has come for its unification in one global society. God, Bahá’u’lláh said, has set in motion historical forces that are breaking down traditional barriers of race, class, creed, and nation and that will, in time, give birth to a universal civilization.[6]

In 1982 the Bahá’í faith unambiguously professed before the United Nations “the goal of a new World Order, Divine in origin, all-embracing in scope, equitable in principle, challenging in its features — that a harassed humanity must strive.”[7]

Toward this end Bahá’ís’ guiding philosophy and goals include:

All humanity is one family.
Women and men are equal.
All prejudice—racial, religious, national, or economic—is destructive and must be overcome.
We must investigate truth for ourselves, without preconceptions.
Science and religion are in harmony.
Our economic problems are linked to spiritual problems.
All major religions come from God.
World peace is the crying need of our time.

If this is indeed the basis of a global religion, before which all other beliefs and denominations must yield, there are a number of obvious concerns. For example, how does one define national or economic “prejudice”? Will one’s economic wherewithal be contingent upon converting to a new, state-mandated religion/spirituality? And along these lines, if science and religion are conflated, what entities will help determine the moral parameters of the many scientific pursuits that run counter to and endanger life on earth? Under such a scheme will psychiatrists and bioethicists make up a new clergy? Many of the Bahá’í tenets would fit well in a technocratic order where the state is the foremost authority.

According to the Center for Media and Democracy’s Sourcewatch database [8] the Bahá’í faith’s ambitious vision is a forthrightly political project calling for the creation of

A World Super State
A World Legislator
Unification of all the world’s religions under the umbrella of the Bahá’í faith
A World Parliament
A World Police Force
A Supreme Tribunal
A Single World Currency
A World Taxation System
A Single Universal Auxiliary Language
Implementation of Agenda 21 and the Earth Charter
Establishment of a World Free Trade Area

Along with the institutionalized secular faith of carbon-centric environmentalism that figures centrally in the Bahá’ís’ undertakings, the Unity Project’s understated transnationalism is likewise making inroads at public schools and in communities throughout the world. As in his previous endeavors, the Sandy Hook tragedy has provided the backdrop for Woodall’s evangelizing that seeks to realign the traumatized individual and group toward certain ideals and norms. What is arguably of concern is that Woodall proceeds under the cover of mental health professional while espousing an ardent globalist ideology that runs counter to the traditional political beliefs and religious faiths that, for better or worse, are espoused by a majority of the world’s population.

In the broader scheme of things the impulses and goals of the anti-individualistic Bahá’í faith’s and Dr. Woodall’s Unity Project provide clear glimpses of what may soon become a prevalent if not compulsory worldview–the elements of which are already being employed to ease the world’s population into a heightened tempo of violent and traumatic mediated events en route to the digitally-enforced feudalism of the twenty-first century.

90 thought on “Newtown World Order Religion”
  1. “Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. Their very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be ‘cured’ against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level with those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals. But to be punished, however severely, because we have deserved it, because we ‘ought to have known better’, is to be treated as a human person made in God’s image.” ~ C. S. Lewis, The Humanitarian Theory of Punishment

    1. That’s a hell of a comment….who is this guy?

      Science and technology have made it quite apparent that only fully modernized people uniformly toting and brandishing the twin arms of a rigid (but always growing!) scientific dogma (principle) and its concordant (and utterly amazing!) technologies, now sweeping the planet and soon the star system (principle put into action), are the only valid and reasonable people or creatures (or indeed life of any kind) in the Universe. We have the measurements and we have the means. What else is there? Let’s continue to get on with it!

      C.S Lewis can go f— himself for getting in the way of progess!

      And I support America and the U.N. and our peacekeeping mission 100%. I support the scientists and the universities and the financial institutions and government; and I oppose foolish religion and backassward primitiveness or waywardness, in any form.

      (sarcasm)

      1. This has nothing to do with Science, Technology, or the general progress of the human race into a Star Trek like universal star system utopia . . .
        One of the prophets of your “religion,” Vladimir Ilych Lenin, had a name for people like you: the Useful Idiots. You have swallowed the “story-line” in full . . . line, hook and sinker. The reel is sticking out of your ignorant, profane mouth. You spout their contradictory platitudes and espouse the party line when all they care about is summarized by your prophet as “political power comes out of the barrell of a gun!”
        Fabian Progressivism has understood that the Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights stands in the way of Lenin’s dictum, hence their recent focused and prevaricating efforts to abrogate it.
        The Constitution of the United States offers a Vision unlike another on the face of the earth. Combined with the Free Enterprise system, the United States became the first trillion dollar economy on the face of he earth. This has allowed us to be more generous in economic aid to the rest of the world than all the other countries of the world put together.
        This is not about “Progress.” This is about the gradual and progressive enslavement of the human race into a backward primitiveness and darkness that will make the Middle Ages look like the Age of Enlightenment. This is just another nail in the coffin of American Freedom.
        Open your eyes, stop drinking the progressive kook-aid . . . But above all, pull your head out of your rectum, or you’ll need a window in your stomach to look out.

      2. @Robert Christiansen:

        You missed the -uhh- remark in the parantheses, at the bottom of my comment. S-A-R-C-A-S-M.

        That’s okay though, ‘cuz I know you weren’t talking to me.

        Why is f— spelled f—?

        Geez James T. We’re not on tv or radio. This is real life media isn’t it?

        With real life words?

      3. @ChelseaMorning:

        C.S. Lewis makes a nice comment here, but I doubt the moral do-gooders are heading towards Heaven. They think they are in Heaven already, that is all. Earth is a place where incorrect thought is often rewarded. God goes into hiding and the vacuum is filled by all manner of deceit and subsequent earthly (but ultimately false) riches. Very very tempting. We all succumb.

        Rumi is superior to C.S. Lewis by quite a margin.

        ‘Counterfeit exists because there is such a thing as true gold.’

        Ned

      4. @Ned Lud
        “C.S. Lewis makes a nice comment here, but I doubt the moral do-gooders are heading towards Heaven.”

        Of course C S Lewis makes his remark within the confines of the Christian belief, and I think I might have to agree with you here.
        Heaven and Hell may very well be our own creation.

        But I still enjoy his writings very much.

        However, I don’t really think God goes into hiding. For me, God is a constant that cannot change with circumstance. More likely people’s image of God doesn’t stand up to reality, especially in chaos.
        Too many times, man creates God in his own image rather than the opposite; which is why it is so dangerous for people to force their idea of a religious/ideal utopia on community or government. It is arrogant, limiting and intolerant.

        I look forward to reading Rumi. Thanks!

  2. The problem isn’t the Bahai faith but the Monotheism in general. Monotheism seeks one world religion and one world culture under one god. That is why Christianity and Islam have been intertwined with imperialism, colonialism and the destruction of indigenous cultures and religions around the globe for centuries. Judaism is of course the root of those two, but Jews don’t have a global missionary agenda, so I cut them some slack.

    The Bahai faith has fashioned itself as a Monotheistic Abrahamic religion just like Islam and Christianity.

    1. “… but Jews don’t have a global missionary agenda, …”

      Oh but they do. They don’t recruit, but you can bet that they are working towards a day when no one will be allowed ‘unauthorized’ worship.

  3. My mind is blown by this article. Earlier tonight I was listening to the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, audio files on YouTube, which correlate eerily with the objectives of the Unity Project and the Bahá’í faith. Is it a coincidence that Nancy Lanza chose to spend her final weekend at Bretton Woods, NH – where the IMF and World Bank were born, and a landmark on the road to a New World Order? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2250799/Nancy-Lanza-Sandy-Hook-gunman-Adam-left-home-gun-spree.html

  4. Thanks, professor, for supplying the larger picture here, of which Newtown is one relatively small, yet important, part thereof. Utterly chilling.

  5. I had long suspected that the flat appearance, lack of anger and lack of inquisitiveness, of the parents on TV right after the shooting and more recently on news interviews, smacked of some kind of hypnotism or conditioning. The fact that the parents, if they were real, were off limits to the press right after the event could have meant a grief counselor of some type went into their homes first and worked his magic.

  6. This is a fascinating addition to the Sandy Hook psy-op.

    With the near instantaneous global distribution of “knowledge” one can imagine a vast sea of people who believe this tragedy actually occurred, and that the answer to it is taking gun rights away from all Americans (or at least non-hunters, lol.)

    Well, why not? With the ability to report and/or create “news” on a global scale, the power to simultaneously shape billions of minds, perhaps now is the time to create a global religion.

    And I don’t mean to pick on them, but the Ba’hai faith might be a good one to use, because the writings are so voluminous the average person could never figure it out.

  7. Oh, my, this information gives a heads up for all concerned with the imposition of global governance. It was transparent when connecting dots from disaster to disaster (natural or man-induced) that something wicked this way comes. Finally, we get down to the nitty-gritty.

    Well said, Dr. Tracy. Your column is the product of a keen intellect that won’t be ushered into the Matrix without a damn good fight. Thank you.

  8. The fact that the media-government is now framing the gun control issue as a mental health issue should be of the great concern to all of us, because all of us could easily be determined – by mental health professionals – to be suffering from one or another mental illness, or a variety thereof.

    None of the recent lone gunman shootings the media-government is trotting out – Tucson, Aurora, Sandy Hook – could have been prevented, they say, because none of the shooters had been in the mental health system.

    The media-government solution is evident, although they have not yet admitted it: mandatory universal preventative mental health evaluations for everyone in order to identify peoples as mentally ill – and cure them – before someone gets hold of a gun and goes on a shooting rampage.

    Once the media-government begins proposing this mandatory universal preventative mental health evaluation it will be very easy for them to demonize anyone who opposes this policy.

    Who, after all, could possibly be against mandatory universal mental health evaluations that will prevent mass shootings UNLESS they are mentally ill and dangerous? Why else would they resist? They must be paranoid, gun-toting, nutcase “truther” conspiracy theorists who irrationally fear the government, which is all the more reason to disarm, institutionalize, and cure them now, before they harm someone, especially our children.

    The individual independent thinker who is suspicious of government is no match for the groupthink mentality of the vast majority of the population, which has been inculcated by mass media-government propaganda, and has created hundreds of millions of brainwashed, unthinking true believers who will believe and do anything the media-government tells them to believe and do, believing the government knows best and always has their best interests in mind.

    In Jonestown, the true believers obediently drank the kool-aid and went to their deaths whilst praising their magnificent leader for having loved and saved them, whilst the independent thinkers resisted and were shot or ran into the jungle.

    All gun owners are Adam Lanza now – http://wp.me/pPnn7-2ap

    1. Well said. Religion has been a weapon of social and political control for thousands of years. The Soviet Union pioneered the use of psychiatry as a tool of sociopolitical control.

      In Sandy Hook we see a melding of these mechanisms in a devilishly more sophisticated form.

    2. Ajmacdonaldjr’s comment echoes what I’ve been arguing since first hearing about the events in Sandy Hook. The idea that this is a “mental health problem” is probably the most dangerous position of all, especially when combined with the coming full implementation of Obamacare where our medical records are going to be kept electronically in a national database to which the government has full access. There are two equally scary possible consequences of this – one being that individuals will be deemed mentally unstable if they so much as seek counseling for depression or for help dealing with a major event in their lives (divorce, death of a loved one, etc.) and therefore unfit to own a firearm, and the other being that out of fear of this happening, people who may actually need help will refuse to seek it. This is a position that I’ve heard very few people take, but it was one of the first things to occur me when the gun debate started and a position that my fiancé and I have argued over many times, until just last week when he admitted to me that he now sees my point and is growing equally concerned. Even the people fighting the hardest against new gun control laws agree that what we have is a broken mental health care system and argue that this is where we should be focusing our attention. 

  9. Just when you think Sandy Hook couldn’t get any weirder, it gets weirder. Orwell wouldn’t believe it. Although the Bahai ae not like the modern American religions. There are no prophets burying golden tablets, or sickness being bad thinking, engrams that can be removed at ten grand a pop. The Wiccins, I think it is, allow their priests to marry more than two people to each other, or maybe it’s the pagans. Not that I think that there is anything wrong with that, marriage may work out better if 3 or 4 people are involved. If so, good luck to the wiccans, or the pagans, as the case may be.

    The crucial element of the Bahai religion that is relevant here is that they don’t allow their adherents to engage in political struggle. This is a very convenient ban if the people have been involved in a public relations fraud and it is desired that they move on and don’t expose it. :”look on the bright side, move forward, no negative feelings, no Extremism, etc”

    This whole thing would make an enormous documentary in a few years as it becomes clearer what exactly happened. The people involved may not have a general understanding of the whole caper.

  10. On this blog, Dr. Woodall was quick to criticize Dr. Tracy for asking questions, saying it was hurting the victims’ families of Newtown.

    A Harvard professor, obviously intelligent, didn’t have the same questions, didn’t notice the lack of surveillance video, didn’t see the changing narrative, the bizarre behavior of the medical examiner & witnesses?

    After reading Woodalls’ critical comment, I immediately wanted to know if he had connections to a certain country in the Middle East. He does.

    We were attacked by this same country in what’s known as the Lavon Affair. We were attacked by this same country during the attack on the USS Liberty. Fox News reported that intelligence agents with explosives expertise from this country were arrested on 9/11. Intelligence agents who reported that they were in our country to “document the event.”

    Is this another “War by Deception” attack on our country?

  11. No wonder Bertrand Russell (1872 – d.1970) made these claims: “scientific societies are as yet in their infancy. It is to be expected that advances in physiology and psychology will give governments much more control over individual mentality than they now have in tolitarian countries. Fichte laid it down that education should aim at destroying free will.” [pg. 49, The Impact of Science on Society]

    “I do not believe that dictatorship is a lasting form of scientific society–unless it can become world-wide.” [pg 50]

    “A scientific society can be stable given certain conditions:
    A single government of the whole world, possessing a monopoly of armed force and therefore able to ‘enforce’ peace. [word emphasis is mine]
    A general diffusion of propsperity, so that there is no occasion for envy of one part of the world by another.
    A low birthrate everywhere.
    A provision for individual initiative both in work and play and the greatest diffusion of power compatible with manintaining the political and economic framework.” [pg 113]

    “We must expect vast upheavals and appalling suffering before stability is attained.” [pg. 114]

    “Diet, injections and junctions [processes that join things together] will combine from a very early age, to produce the sort of character and the sort of beliefs that the authorities consider desirable and any serious criticism of the powers that be will be psychologically impossible.” [pg 50]

    Then Russell muses about how societies’ progress:
    “No society can be progressive without a leaven of rebels and modern techniques makes it more and more difficult to be a rebel.” [pg 65]

    Some populist intellectual brainiac must have studied this book because the word ‘rebel’ roots back to Latin ‘transgression against God’ so you see it is possible to bring this ‘structure of society’ in by claiming it is ‘God setting forth historical forces’ and adherents using this to create a world religion. Rebel also means to engage in political struggle, so apply that to Russell’s statement above.

    “The need for a world government, if the population problem is to be solved in any humane manner is completely evident on Darwinian principles.” [pg. 105]

    Bertrand Russell received the Nobel Prize for literature in 1950 for championing humanitarian ideals. His grandfather was Lord John Russell, British Foreign Secretary during the Civil War.

    On humanization and ideals: Pedogogy Of The Oppressed by Professor Paulo Freire

    “The problem of humanization has always, from an axiological point of view, been humankind’s central problem, it now takes on the character of an inescapable concern. Concern for humanization leads at once to the recognition of dehumanization, not only as an ontological possibility but as an historical reality. Both humanization and dehumanization are possibilities for a person as an uncompleted being conscious of their incompletion.” [pg. 43]

    “The oppressed become oppressors. During the initial stage of the struggle the very structure of their thought has been conditioned by the contradictions of the concrete, existential situation by which they were shaped.” [pg 45]

    “Dehumanization which marks not only those whose humanity has been stolen but also those who have stolen it is a distortion of the vocation of becoming more fully human. This distortion occurs within history, but it is not an historical vocation. This struggle is possible only because dehumanization, although a concrete historical fact, is not a given destiny but the result of an unjust order that engenders violence in the oppressors, which in turn dehumanizes the oppressed.” [pg. 44]

    Paulo Freire (1921-1997) was a Professor of the History and Philosopy of Education, at the University of Recife, Brazil.

    “Towards the end of his life Paulo Freire–a man of hallmark humility was a man teaching us and the world what it means to be an intellectual who fights against the temptation of becoming a populist intellectual.” [Donaldo Macedo]

    In conversation with Donaldo Macedo Freire stated:

    “We need to say no to the neoliberal fatalism that we are witnessing at the end of this century, informed by the ethics of the market, an ethics in which a minority makes most profits against the lives of the majority. In other words, those who cannot compete, die. This is a perverse ethics that, in fact, lacks ethics. I insist on saying that I continue to be human…I would then remain the last educator in the world to say no: I do not accept….history as determinism. I embrace history as possibility [where] we can demystify the evil in this perverse fatalism that characterizes the neoliberal discourse in the end of this century.” [pg 25-26, Donaldo Macedo, Distinguished Professor of Liberal Arts and Education, University of Massachusetts, Boston]

    Fatalism means a submissive attitude to events
    Submissive means meekly obedient or passive. Also falling obediently into passive (unemotional) roles.

    Excellent article Prof, we shall work out the kinks of what is ailing us….

    1. I did not know this about Bertrand Russell. I knew he was an atheist and a mathematician.

      I have been a fan of Noam Chomsky and watched many hours of videos of him speaking and being interviewed. But I have heard two criticisms of Professor Chomsky for which I have no evidence:

      1) when asked about US or Israeli involvement in 9/11 he replied – what difference does it make who did it?
      2) he will not discuss the “Holocaust” or the possibility that it is an invented psy-op

      I heard him say in one interview that he is opposed to national boarders or nationalism. And I saw in one video that Professor Chomsky has/had a large poster of Bertrand Russell on the wall outside his office door – at MIT.

      So I ask – what’s wrong with a New World Order (NWO)? Here’s one man’s answer: “Anti-fascists are effective since they sincerely believe what they’re doing is morally right. Their belief in their moral superiority is a powerful motivating force, propelling them to inflict much damage to society (in their quest to tear down the current order). They naively believe global justice will be realized when all nations are eliminated, all races live together, and similar utopian goals are realized. Of course this is the old communist trick they have fallen for. A trick? Yes, because as soon as such broad goals are realized or merely approached, the NWO hammer will come down hard and a “global plantation” run by tyranny will reign supreme (think Bolshevik Russia). At this point anti-fascists will wonder, “where is the utopia we worked for?”

      This is excerpted from: http://immigration-globalization.blogspot.com/2009/09/anti-fascists-are-very-useful-to-new.html

      1. Peter,

        Sorry I cannot cite the place, but I heard Chomsky say this myself:

        “1) when asked about US or Israeli involvement in 9/11 he replied – what difference does it make who did it?”

        I have been to many lectures by Chomsky, he is brilliant in his way, but he is so tethered to ‘systemic analysis’ that he fails to recognize certain aspects of that system, and seems blind to the whole advent of the New World Order. He seems to regard it as “conspiracy theory”.

        I would agree now that Chomsky is what is called a “Left Gatekeeper”
        I think there is the tendency within academia towards dogmatism, and guarding ones intellectual turf – which means a narrowing of the mind as a shield against criticism beyond ones own boundaries.

        If you want to see an exchange between someone superior to Chomsky’s intellect, look up Michel Foucault and the debate between the two. I know this is available as YouTube video.

    1. “The ARI Institute is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote a globally aware humanity for meeting the challenges of today’s interdependent world.” ARI teaches globalism to children through the UN. But no where on its website can I find a definition of its name, ARI – is it Ayn Rand Institute? http://ariresearch.org/

  12. I see a connection of the “oneness” of the B’Hai relgion to this weeks comments by Melissa Harris-Perry:

    “We have to break through our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents or kids belong to their families, and recognize that kids belong to their communities…Once it’s everybody’s responsibility and not just the households, then we start making better investments.”

    Her comments are antithetical to American ways.

    Looking across the pond, I was interested to read this article concerning a “Big Society” initiative in England.

    ‘Serco, a leading private contractor, is in line to win a multimillion-pound contract to run the National Citizen Service, proposed by the prime minister as a “big society”, non-military version of national service for youngsters aged over 16’.

    Source: http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2012/aug/05/serco-bid-national-citizen-service

    One blogger has hit the nail on the head with his observations about the privatization of efforts formerly provided by Charities.

    “So to be clear, the government has stripped the cash from charities that care passionately for the young in their community and have worked tirelessly and have strong trusted links with them built over decades. Instead, they have given millions to a company that will being trying to replicate that but in a way to make profit for it’s shareholders. This is absurd!!”

    Last month, Serco reported a 27% rise in profits, yet maintained its prison and healthcare outsourcing contracts from the UK government has not lined its coffers.

    I see in the Serco initiative echoes of a 2006 interview with Rahm Emmanuel, Obama’s former Chief of Staff, in which he discussed a book he’d co-authored with Bruce Reed, “The Plan: Big Ideas for America.” In this interview, Emmanuel said, “citizenship is not an entitlement program.” He then described… wait for it,…. “Mandatory National Service!”

    “Everyone from the ages of 18 – 25 will serve three months of basic training in a kind of in civil defense. That universal sense of service between the ages of 18 – 25 will give Americans fortunately a sense of what they are as Americans and a contribution to a country, and a common experience.”

    Somehow it has escaped our dual citizen (Israeli-American) that the common experience we Americans share is that we are FREE!!!!!

    If you Google “Mandatory National Service” you will see that Mr. Emmanuel’s idea caught the interest of several news outlets. On the Huffington Post, a doctor lady penned an article this Summer. She writes, “From the sons and daughters of truck drivers and tycoons, all would serve. We would all benefit both personally and as a country.”

    Source: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/karen-m-whitney-phd/students-national-service-volunteering_b_1720887.html

    My bet is that we would not all benefit… equally.

  13. If I am not mistaken, Dr. John Woodall actually wrote several comments on the earlier thread on Sandy Hook, just after Professor Tracy had declined air time on TV…

    He invited anyone who didn’t believe the official story to “come to Newtown and I will buy you a cup of coffee…”

    We exchanged commentary for a few posts before he eventually faded away. His pose was one of “knowing authority” and the subtext was quite arrogant. I noticed he was very disturbed that I was “talking back to him” like I might be his equal or something as outrageous as that {grin}.

    Within an hour or so another poster had ID’d him as a Psychiatrist who had schooling at Harvard. That was when Dr. Woodall lost interest in further conversation on the thread.

    It’s great to find out how deeply involved this character is in the whole thing. I would posit there is “inside knowledge” under his strange dual hats.

    \\][//

    1. Interesting comment. Don’t drink his coffee. I hear it might be kool-aid!

      it’s strange when people think the authority of their job is in effect everywhere they go. On the job he has hundreds of young people sucking up to him and he’s fool enough to think it’s just him and not his elevated position. He’ll have to give himself a mental disorder.

    1. Unlike Dr. Tracy’s insightful, fact-filled post on The Baha’i Faith as relating to the New World Order, Peter’s link is obscenely void of truth. A perfect example is any politico remotely familiar w/ John McCain knows the Senator is no friend of those outside the Beltway DC Establishment. McCain is no representative of freedom & liberty via small government; the US Constitution & the Bill of Rights, i.e. the Movement known as Conservatism. To suggest otherwise is laughable: McCain-Feinstein may ring a bell? Further, readers would do well to recognize inanely vile; hate-filled anti-semitic propaganda when stumbling upon it & to quickly call it what it is; nothing more than unadulterated insanity.

      1. “anti-semitic propaganda”

        Are you saying that there are those who are against the Semitic languages? What does the term “anti-semitic” actually mean, without the political baggage attached to it?

        Isn’t Arabic a Semitic language? Do you propose that these vile haters hate Arabic? It may be hard to understand to the western mind, but “hating” it?? That seems really odd, and I would indeed be careful of anyone who hates other languages, regardless of where they are spoken.

        I understand that Chinese is a very difficult language for westerners…
        ..do we have the same sorts of ‘haters’, mad at that language as well?

        \\][//

      2. Are you saying that there are those who are against the Semitic languages?

        This is just silly.

        I challenge you to find a single use of the term, anywhere, that is not an obvious synonym for “Jew-hatred.” Anyone who said “anti-semite” and meant “hater of Arabs” or “hater of the Arabic language” would be an idiot; no one would understand what he meant, because everyone knows that anti-semitism is Jew hatred.

  14. off topic:
    Was just looking at the picture of the ”good doctor” D. Wayne Carver II, MD. Who do you suppose picked out that dashing white open collared shirt for him to wear that day?

    Just saying….

  15. James Miler, admired by both Peter and Benjamin Freedman, is a self confessed Nazi who is openly racist and anti-semitic. I don’t know what you guys are thinking of. Bold Fresh Jew–and I say this with all due respect–is a dingbat, at least in his above comment. The weakness of intellect of Americans is largely ideological, instilled by the Education, Information, and Entertainment of our mass media and other truth institutions.

    1. Mark,

      You say, “[James Miller is] a self confessed Nazi who is openly racist and anti-semitic.”

      What I want to address here is the loose use of language, which begins to tend towards what Orwell termed ‘Newspeak’.

      First of all, I would not argue that Miller is not of the Nazi ilk, that he is indeed ‘racist’ in philosophy. My problem is the term “antisemitic”; this term has been through the wash too many times and has not only faded but become shredded. It was from the beginning a term that did not mean what the term “Semite” actually refers to – which is simply a language group. Even modern dictionaries however, will give a definition beyond the actual original lexicon; stating that the term means a ‘hatred of Jews’…but the actual meaning of the term itself means “Anti”:against, the “Semitic language” — so what we have here is a term that is ‘universally’ accepted to mean something the term does not say linguistically.

      The term has been used in such a way that it has become absolutely meaningless, even in its subtextual implications. As such I think it is high time that the issue be addressed honestly as far as actual meanings are concerned. If one wants to say that another is a “Jew Hater”, let us come out and say that clearly. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the language a Jew might speak. To say that these issues are confused because “Jews are not a racial category”, then let us ask what the stricture of having a “Jewish mother” has to do with the concept of being Jewish. What exactly is “Jewish blood” or “Jewish DNA”?

      And then the issue of the Khazar, and Ashkenazim comes into the picture to make it even more complex.

      Is not the real issue; “Exceptionalism”? The belief that ones ‘race’ or ‘creed’ is superior…? And as such is it not best to judge each individual as to what they say and do, rather than lump all into camps that they may not be happy within?

      I engaged in quite a debate with Kevin MacDonald via email, because he refused to have that debate on his web site. As I proved to him by rational argumentation, he is no different from the charges he makes against the “Jew” in that he is arguing for “White Exceptionalism”, as are these folks over at STORMFRONT, where Miller is a honcho.

      The problem boils down to “organization” and the fact that competing organizations become the same in techniques and stratagems.

      Excuse the length of this post, I know it is a bit beyond the original topic.

      \\][//

  16. The dividing, dumbing down and demoralization of America, 911, the wars that followed, Agenda 21, Sandy Hook and the the obvious race to disarm America? This is what it all amounts to: The establishment of a one world government/military/religion etc. These people who work towards this goal are psychopaths and sociopaths who rule over an army of sycophants. The overwhelming majority of our elected officials, whether witting or unwitting, serve this master and it’s nothing new. I don’t think Woodall even buys into his own BS. He’s just another sycophant and this is his way of screaming “See! I’m with you globalist masters. Don’t send me to the camps when it all goes down!”. What a bunch of cowards! Beware!!! With these people the ends justifies the means. This movement is extremely well funded by the international, bankster elites. They have no problem committing genocide, causing famine or unleashing plague anywhere in the world to achieve their one world vision.

      1. Yeah, I get it. Everything’s relative. Nothing means anything. Don’t bother thinking objectively. Sorry, I’m one of those weirdos that actually questions things :/ …silly frickin me

  17. Noticing two common pitfalls in the comments.

    1) The disconnection between the left and right goals. There is a fusion and it is called neoliberalism. It is the skillful blend under a carefully crafted misnomer to mislead and obfuscate… Orwellian doublespeak.
    Both fringes have the same agenda to control the underclass and rule by fiat. Neoliberalism is neither new nor liberal, same ole, same ole.

    2) The unfortunate discussion of the Jew factor. This tends to derail rational debate as we are caught in a trap to prove/disprove history.

      1. @James:

        I regard this as important:

        When you see ‘put-downs’ and ‘poisoning of the well’, please allow and allow other commenters to react accordingly. DO NOT ACT AS OWNER-CONTROLLER-PRESIDENT-CONGRESS-CORPORATE-DECIDER of this site, even though in some (legal and sanctioned, sanctimonious) ways of course you are. Many a good site is ruined when the ownership and control (the private individual party or group for whom and by whom the site is so named and organized) decides to start censoring things accordingly. Always for the public and general ‘good’, of course. Always for progress and growth. Always for safety and security. Sound familiar? ??

        Censorship is a dangerous and cowardly (and very very typical) act, because it is just so easy to do. Everybody wants it except the bad guy.

        Discussions can continue to take place, believe it or not. One can choose to engage or ignore, as an individual. One can encourage individuality and choose not to censor odd or threatening individuals.

        The web is currently extremely bereft of sites that actually enourage and allow full freedom of speech, hate speech included. Yes, hate speeh is a very difficult form of speech to allow. Yes, it takes much courage. And there are ‘haters’ that are very dangerous. So you place one danger against another. It is most difficult.

        Great site. You are a very good man. Please continue to be. Life is not easy.

        Thanks.

    1. I agree. Sometimes I feel like I’m in Nazi Germany when I try to have these discussions with people. There are still many who believe that the Jews are behind every act of wrongdoing in the world. I think its ridiculous. Even when I discuss the roll of International bankers in the new world order, people have responded with “that’s an antisemitic statement” even though the words Jew, Israel or anything in that category never came out of my mouth. But it’s much easier to attack the messenger and label them antisemitic, racist, conspiracy theorist or whatever in order to distract people form the message. Simply because they don’t like the message and have no factually backed rebuttal. And as far as the neolib/neocon, democrat/republican paradigm? They’re nothing less now than two flavors of the same poisoned kool-aid.

  18. I’m strongly in favor of one world govermment, Jimmy, if, and only if, it is controlled by the earth’s people. That is the only way we will solve our historical problems of the time, notably global climate change, the threat of nuclear war, and economic chaos. Becauise of the liberal and Progressive opposition to Conspiracy Theories, the commentary on these homicidal conspiracies tend to have a right wing nationalist slant, exhibited by the Texas group around Alex Jones. This nationalism is largely based on White racism, the undercurrent of much comment.

    I think a world government is essential, necessary, and inevitable historically, and the major opposition against it historically is not the capitalist Western bankers, currently in increasing disarray, but China, the rising power replacing the USA as the hegomonic power.

    And I am in favoar of disarming America, which is functioning under the operataive ideology of homicidal racism. I am not only in favor of taking away the guns, but the bombs, drones, blanes, ships, etc from the American military and bringing them home. And after that, which is an historical effort, considering whether and how to restict guns in the civilian population.

    If this is pschopathy and sycophancy, let’s make the most of it.

    1. You’re correct in that gun control has a great deal to do with white supremacy in America. See, for example, this and this. How would today’s apparently well-educated liberal be able to satisfactorily argue any point without using the fallback shibboleths “right wing” and “far right”? I am at a loss as to what these terms even mean any more, although they conjure up bogeys in the minds of those who imagine themselves as liberal.

      In academic parlance Jones exemplifies “producerism.” In other words, he articulates the frustrations of many average Janes and Joes who are being squeezed and look to illegal immigration, government overreach, and economic corruption as being among causes of their woes. Uncertain as to how this makes him and his followers racist.

      Who will oversee and carry out gun control among civilians? Perhaps the KKK can be further revived. Or DHS can recruit one or more Mexican drug cartels for the job.

    2. Most of the world has lived under feudalism throughout history. The second amendment was designed to pretect ourselves and the free republic from that. I believe that we should have the right to do whatever we want providing it brings no harm to anyone’s person or property. One world government?? It is too big of a project for any group to manage. A utopian pipe dream. Any attempt will always be hijacked by the power elite, the greedy and the corrupt. Instead, let people be sovereign citizens. Let them rule their own lives. And let them have the means to protect it. I don’t know how so many have been tricked to believe they need any one group to rule over them. If people want things like socialism, they can have it in their hearts. Help anyone they want to. But having it through confiscatory means? Well, the problem with socialism is , you eventually run out of other peoples money. I believe it was Benjamin Franklin who was asked at Independence Hall ” so what type of government are we going to have?”. He responded with “A republic, if you can keep it”. Well, it’s pretty obvious that we’ve failed miserably at that. But call me weird, I still don’t see serfdom as an answer. And a one world government can only be established by destroying and abolishing everyone else differences which no one has any right to do! And this the Elite know and this they are doing! But not just destroying differences, they have no problem turning any country that disagrees with their selfish, greed driven vision into a parking lot! You say “and only if, it is controlled by the earth’s people”?? I assure you that this present road to world government is. I’ve yet to see Martians or any other extraterrestrials at any UN, Bilderberg or CFR meetings lol!!

  19. Yes, let’s “steer clear of put-downs” and definitely not “poison the well.”

    So Mark, it’s the Chinese. The Chinese are in control of this ridiculous reporting of the Newtown massacre? The Chinese are in are control of the media – the Chairmen and CEO’s of NBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, New York Times, and the LA Times?

    Really Mark. When incumbent US Congressmen Paul Findley, Gus Savage, Jim Traficante, Cynthia McKinney left office, they blamed the Chinese for funneling huge amounts of money to their no name opponents for not signing a pledge to China? Really?

    The Chinese are behind the New World Order? Didn’t know that.

  20. The enormous amount of killing in the USA compared with other societies is not due primarily to guns, but to the indoctrination of the American people by American power to emotioinally identify with homicidal racism. Americans are covertly taught by the media and other truth institutions of American power to respect and admire homicidal power, especially when conducted by uniformed homicidal Heroes against non-White people.

    This is an historical tendency. The USA polity was founded on the ethnc cleansing of American Indians and the slavery of African Amerians, steaing the homes and homeland from the former, and the labor and freedom from the latter.

    Compared to the centuries of blloodshed and suffering of these Aemricans, the American Revolution was a business decision by the White ruling class–The Founding Fathers–to avoid paying taxes. The homicial racism (and the tax evasion) continues up to the present historical momemt in the Terror War, killing hundrreds of thousands of dark skinned Muslims to steal their oils, homes, and other property and power.

    The homicidal racism is ideologically repressed in the American truth consensus, where it contiunues to fester to produce violence. So American history is replete with lynchings, executions, wars, massacres, racial pogroms, gangster killings, gang wars, homicidal conspiracies, and personal killings. Largely because we are afraid to discuss them opeonly because it would subvert the Patriotic ideology that historically has legitimated American power.

    1. The United States military is employed by transnational global cartels to colonize the world and command its resources and peoples, just as Britain was used in previous centuries, and consider how that empire treated their neighbors. Racism is the penumbra of a broader program of exploitative processes but not the sole force.

  21. When it comes to confronting a force that wants to disarm the population, gain greater control over our children and over our lives… there is no longer a right/left paradigm.

    Frankly, I considered myself a “progressive” when I voted for Obama in his first election. Now, I tell my family and friends that I have walked so far the left that I’m now on the far-right. I am far from being a bible-thumpin’, Nascar-lovin’, gun owner…, but I do share a sense of “entitlement” to my Constitutional Rights.

    As for what Marilyn said, “the unfortunate discussion of the Jew factor. This tends to derail rational debate as we are caught in a trap to prove/disprove history.” I do agree that sticking to the issues pertaining to Sandy Hook is important.

    That said, any foreign nation that has influence in the United States’ political sphere is up for scrutiny. Whatever happened at Sandy Hook was said to have occurred at a *public school* during school hours, I believe it is important for future school safety to discern what actually happened—and, why.

  22. I had to laugh…of course those who pull the triggers of the world don’t want us to trifle over pointing fingers. What did we expect… contriteness?

    We need to cut through the clutter and keep a fixed focus in these difficult times. I do that by simply remembering this guidance, my mantra:

    “Governments are criminal syndicates pretending to represent us.” Easy to remember and I defy anyone to provide evidence to the contrary anywhere on this planet.

    Case closed.

  23. I live 15 mins south of Boston. The Boston marathon was attacked by two bombs at the finish line. Multiple casualties but no reported deaths yet.

    1. Boston to Deploy Mass-Casualty Tablet Device During Marathon

      Press Release
      Created: April 12, 2013

      Boston EMS is deploying a new, off-the-shelf, lightweight mobile device for the first time at the Boston Marathon on April 15.

      The platform, from SafetyPAD, is intended for use in mass-casualty situations gives EMS personnel the ability to carry into crowds and assess a patient upon arrival, document in realtime, transmit data to transport units before they arrive, and other features.

      Boston EMS will utilize the new Android-based program for bike and gator teams along race route.

      http://www.firehouse.com/press_release/10919925/boston-to-deploy-mass-casualty-tablet-device-during-marathon

    2. another false flag event like sandy hook , all to keep the sheeple in line and bring forth the police state, they will probably be groping people in the parks & streets now looking for the boogy man in pants , bra’s and in babies diapers. heads up for more public gatherings to be traumatized by the global regime.

  24. hmmm – one way to keep people quiet??

    “Adding further heartbreak to utter tragedy, the last mile of Monday’s Boston Marathon, which was rocked by at least two explosions resulting in an unknown number of injuries and casualties Monday afternoon, was dedicated to the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting massacre. Boston Athletic Association president Joanne Flaminio said before the race that had a “special significance” because it was 26.2 miles long and there was 26 victims in the Newtown attack. There was also a group of Newtown parents running as part of a group called Team Newtown Strong who were raising money for local charities. A banner honoring the victims, hung at the end of the 26th mile, can be seen in the photo above.

    “In the first twenty miles we’re honoring the twenty Sandy Hook first graders,” Laura Nowacki, a spokesperson for Newtown Strong, explained to WBUR Boston. “When we crest Heartbreak Hill, and we’re coming back towards Boston, we run the final six for our six fallen educators, including their lives, to protect our children.”

    There was a 26-second moment of silence for the victims before the race started.

    Update 4:07 p.m.: Newtown families were reportedly seated in the VIP section right by where the explosions went off. There’s no word whether they are among the 23 injured and two dead from the explosions.

    1. After Mike Harris’ strong accusations, this is exactly where my initial Sandy Hook research led – purple van pulled over, people dressed in clergy garb, Greenwich Village, bombs, amo, and even false flag Neo-Nazi literature!

      These two winner have everything, except for media exposure. Even Dr. Tracy censored me when I asked, “Are these the real domestic terrorists?”

      1. I don’t recall censoring such a statement. I would have to know the context. It’s an explanation that is compelling but I’ve yet to see the Russian satellite imagery Gordon Duff points to that allegedly proves multiple parties exiting Sandy Hook Elementary on 12-14. In hindsight there may be a number of alternate narratives built in to these events that will occupy discerning minds and research activities just long enough for the next event to be cast. Consider how with the present Boston Marathon event of 4-15 there is already chatter proffered on major outlets such as Yahoo News of a mysterious figure spotted on one of the nearby roofs.

        1. UM Coach: Bomb Sniffing Dogs, Spotters on Roofs Before Explosions

          “University of Mobile’s Cross Country Coach, who was near the finish line of the Boston Marathon when a series of explosions went off, said he thought it was odd there were bomb sniffing dogs at the start and finish lines.
           
          “They kept making announcements to the participants do not worry, it’s just a training exercise,” Coach Ali Stevenson told Local 15.

          “Stevenson said he saw law enforcement spotters on the roofs at the start of the race. He’s been in plenty of marathons in Chicago, D.C., Chicago, London and other major metropolitan areas but has never seen that level of security before.

    2. After watching the events and news coverage unfold in Boston—most notably the bizarre exchange between Gov. Deval Patrick and the reporter from the Alex Jones’ program—I am not even sure these two “junkie-terrorists” are even real.

      My take is that the American people are being fed lots of unsettling information on purpose. Consider that moving us in the direction of distrusting our own fellow Americans might be by design.

      Best to remain calm and ask calm questions, watch the halls of Congress and the legislation that will be proposed.

      As for the exchange described below, my belief this is two sides of the same coin.

  25. Notice the similarities between police “exercises” in Connecticut and those in Boston during and prior to the bombing.

    The politicos making sure to include “home-grown” terrorism, and MSNBC speaking on the news this AM about domestic terror, this will be touted as a domestic terrorist attack, so that the “administration” can move more quickly toward a liberty trade-in for percieved, emotional security.

    1. All of the terrorist hits of the last two decades; Oklahoma City, 911, 7/7 in London. Sandy Hook and now Boston, conveniently had simultaneous drills for the the same scenarios!!! WTF? I live 10 miles from where this happened yesterday. I’ve seen the gruesome pics that are surfacing on the net. What kind of monster could do this to people??? An 8 year old among the dead. I’m really beginning to hate this world. I just wanna move to the mountains and live a happy, hillbilly lifestyle. Been in cities most of my life and can’t stand it anymore!!!.

  26. Why was Mark Potok from the SPLC on ABC this morning talking about the Boston bombing and domestic terrorism?

    This is the guy that warned us a few weeks ago about white Christian conservatives and how they were going to be our next terrorism threat.

    If this is to become the Boston narrative, this guy’s a clairvoyant genius!

    1. Yeah. Like that’s not a setup?!?! I know many Christian conservatives that come in all shapes, sizes and colors , including myself. Not only would 100% of them never even consider attacking anyone, 100% would call the police on anyone that even mumbled about committing an act of terrorism! I can’t believe the BS that these neo-lefties spew out of their stupid mouths!!! Disgusting!!!

  27. Reader’s note:

    I took the time to read all the comments on this particular thread and would like to say that there are many very fine interesting comments and people posting on this stie. And even the stupid ones are of value.

    Keep up the good work, everybody.

  28. John Woodall’s been spotted spreading consolation and understanding again. Colin McEnroe writes (re the Boston Bombing), on Courant.com.

    “The only reason I know anything about ‘Abdu’l-Bahá is because John Woodall, a psychiatrist from Newtown, pressed a volume of his speeches into my hand during the week after the massacre in his town. Woodall is of the Bahá’í faith. Abdu’l-Bahá was the son of its founder, Bahá’u’lláh.”

    http://www.courant.com/news/opinion/hc-op-mcenroe-man-bloodthirsty-not-wholly-lost-042-20130418,0,3953518.column

    Who does he think he is, a bleeding psychiatrist?

    The article refers to Bahai as a global religion “before which all other beliefs and denominations must yield…”. That’s not the way Bahais see themselves and their relations to other religions. What they are saying is not “everyone must become a Bahai” but rather “if you look at the larger picture, all the religions (Bahai included) are part of one common faith.” Like chemistry and physics are part of science. The Chinese economay and the American economy are part of one global economic order.

    The article goes on to say, “Will one’s economic wherewithal be contingent upon converting to a new, state-mandated religion/spirituality?” Now you’re just scaring yourself for titillation. If you’re talking about the Bahais, the answer is no, there are no rewards for converting to the Bahai Faith. Sorry.

    Then it says “And along these lines, if science and religion are conflated,..” If you’re talking about Bahais, no, science and religion are not conflated. They are two different things. Religion (Bahai included) is only one of them. There are other truths, alongside the truths of religions.

    The Bahai Faith is described in the article as “anti-individualistic.” What you been smokin’ man? All of the ethical religions are individualistic, because they claim that one’s individual spiritual well-being is tied to one’s individual moral decisions. Bahai is more individualist than most, because it does not have a one-size-fits-all idea of the ‘ends’ of individuals:

    “Every age hath its own problem, and every soul its particular aspiration. (Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah, p. 213)
    http://reference.bahai.org/en/t/b/GWB/gwb-106.html#pg213

  29. Are you saying that there’s a plot by the powers that be to make the Bahai faith the one and only religion of the US and perhaps the entire world?

    If that were the case I would expect a heck of a lot more Americans to know what “Bahai” means and is. As it stands now this religion and its adherents are largely unknown.

    If any religion is gaining mainstream exposure and newer American converts almost daily, its Buddhism.

    1. If there was such a plot, the Bahais would have no part of it, so it would fall flat on its face. The Bahai Faith doesn’t seek domination, it celebrates diversity and works with others, in interfaith and grassroots organisations.

      1. Baha’u’llah was a prolific correspondent and author. There’s a wiki article on his life
        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bah%C3%A1%27u%27ll%C3%A1h
        but I suggest diving straight into his writings. This link:
        http://reference.bahai.org/en/t/b/HW/hw-1.html
        will take you to the beginning of the “Hidden Words.” (In Bahai, even our conspiracies are public ! ) . You can snuffle around his works, and the explanations of them by his son Abdu’l-Baha, using the links on the left, or use the search engine top left.

    2. What needs to be taken into consideration is that there is an Elitist agenda at work, that they are followers of the darkest faith one could imagine, that they have no true care or concern for anything good or moral. They have sent their minions into the world’s faiths to infiltrate, to discredit, to eat from within and the will bring shame to every church, every temple, every mosque before they are done. Do not attack the doctrine, the canon, the essence of the positive religions of the world for it is these dark people within that need to be culled, judged, and imprisoned.
