We are in the midst of WW3

Historical Foundations

From the 1953 investigation by the Reece Committee into the Carnegie Foundation:

“We are now at the year nineteen hundred and eight, which was the year that the Carnegie Foundation began operations. And, in that year, the trustees meeting, for the first time, raised a specific question, which they discussed throughout the balance of the year, in a very learned fashion. And the question is this: Is there any means known more effective than war, assuming you wish to alter the life of an entire people? And they conclude that, no more effective means to that end is known to humanity, than war. So then, in 1909, they raise the second question, and discuss it, namely, how do we involve the United States in a war?

Well, I doubt, at that time, if there was any subject more removed from the thinking of most of the People of this country, than its involvement in a war. There were intermittent shows in the Balkans, but I doubt very much if many people even knew where the Balkans were. And finally, they answer that question as follows: we must control the State Department.

And then, that very naturally raises the question of how do we do that? They answer it by saying, we must take over and control the diplomatic machinery of this country and, finally, they resolve to aim at that as an objective. Then, time passes, and we are eventually in a war, which would be World War I.  At that time, they record on their minutes a shocking report in which they dispatch to President Wilson a telegram cautioning him to see that the war does not end too quickly. And finally, of course, the war is over.

At that time, their interest shifts over to preventing what they call a reversion of life in the United States to what it was prior to 1914, when World War I broke out. At that point, they come to the conclusion that, to prevent a reversion, we must control education in the United States. And they realize that is a pretty big task. To them it is too big for them alone.

So they approach the Rockefeller Foundation with a suggestion: that portion of education which could be considered domestic should be handled by the Rockefeller Foundation, and that portion which is international should be handled by the Endowment.

They then decide that the key to the success of these two operations lay in the alteration of the teaching of American History. So, they approach four of the then most prominent teachers of American History in the country — people like Charles and Mary Byrd. Their suggestion to them is this, “Will they alter the manner in which they present their subject”” And, they get turned down, flatly.

So, they then decide that it is necessary for them to do as they say, i.e. “build our own stable of historians.” Then, they approach the Guggenheim Foundation, which specializes in fellowships, and say” “When we find young men in the process of studying for doctorates in the field of American History, and we feel that they are the right caliber, will you grant them fellowships on our say so? And the answer is, “Yes.”

So, under that condition, eventually they assemble twenty (20), and they take these twenty potential teachers of American History to London. There, they are briefed in what is expected of them — when, as, and if they secure appointments in keeping with the doctorates they will have earned.

That group of twenty historians ultimately becomes the nucleus of the American Historical Association. And then, toward the end of the 1920’s, the Endowment grants to the American Historical Association four hundred thousand dollars ($400,000) for a study of our history in a manner which points to what this country look forward to, in the future.”

Wars were Created

All major 20th and 21st Century Wars were created, orchestrated and sold to the public using false flags.  The victors then write the history we all learn in school and from watching state-run media.  To prove this up, watch James Perloff’s excellent lecture here…

Unless you live in Australia, today’s World War has yet to go kinetic

Today’s War involvesnot nation-states but a global hegemony of a select few whose agenda is the enslavement of the entire globe under a single focal point. The mechanism of attack is fear  —  used to drive total compliance: fear of COVID; fear of climate change; fear of a cyber-pandemic; and fear of total financial collapse.  If successful, the ideas of the nation-state and personal freedom will vanish, replaced by a one-world governing authority being rolled out across the globe today in perfect harmony.

“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—for ever.”
― George Orwell, 1984

Confessions of a Normie

by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | October 28, 2020

I use to be a normie.

But I’ve learned truth is rare, necessary for survival and hard to come by,  so now I’m a collector of data points.  I collect data points until a picture emerges which may point my way to truth.

I am of the age of the US-Vietnam conflict era.  Too young to be drafted, but I did get a draft card near the end of the war.   I remember being in high school and watching “the most trusted man in America” tell us “…And that’s the way it is,” at the end of each broadcast.  The  name of this trusted figure was Walter Cronkite.  I later learned this man couldn’t be trusted at all. In fact Walter had a big secret to hide.   See video.   I remember the nightly body bag count and seeing black body bags and flag-draped metal coffins full of dead boys about my age being loaded into the back of large military planes for shipment back to the USA. Neither I nor any of my friends in high school knew why we were way over there fighting this bloody, unwinnable war in a land far, far away.  We were told we were fighting against the Godless communists who desired  to enslave us all, but something just didn’t seem to make sense to our young minds.

I remember the Vietnam memorial –the wall of names– and I remember mothers going to that wall to see their son’s name and to make a trace of their memory.

I was nine when someone shot the president  in the head in broad daylight.  I still remember the horrible feelings I had that day.  I remember the Warren Report and thinking something is just not right, but I accepted the official story and moved on with my life.

I remember the attacks on 9/11 and I remember the official story as told by the news media and by the 9/11 Commission thinking something is just not right about this story; so this time, I paused and started to observe and study.  Yes, I did move on with my life, but I had enough data points to start asking questions about what I believed to be true.  And I did.  The answers were unexpected.

I read a lot of books, written mostly by very careful historians who do not make their statements lightly, or  without the documentation to back them up. Some like Antony C. Sutton paid a price for their honesty.  Among my favorite are:

Reading List: 

What I learned

We were lied into the following wars by our government and by our media…

  • The Spanish American war
  • World War I
  • World War II
  • The Korean War
  • The Vietnam War
  • The Invasion of Iraq
  • The Invasion of Afghanistan
  • The attack and intervention in Libya
  • The intervention and civil war in Syria
  • The civil war in Ukraine

James Perloff does an excellent job summarizing many of these lies in his PowerPoint and lecture.

So today in the year 2020 as I sit here writing these words, I am no longer a normie.  I don’t believe anything our government or our established media tell us.  What they say is just another data point to consider; to collect and to compare with other data points — and observable facts, when available.   What I do know, is that these lies cannot be a mistake and are therefore used to control and enslave us — to herd us like livestock to be skinned and rendered– so long as we believe the lies.  The cure is simple.  Stop believing their lies and do it now.   If you don’t want to be treated like livestock, stop acting like livestock.

The solution above was exposed some 500 years ago in an excellent book called ‘The Politics of Obedience: The Discourse of Voluntary Servitude’ by Etienne de la Boetie

Using the Internet to Manufacture Obedience

by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | October 17, 2020

The established power structure is bringing the internet to heel…

  • Google search is censored and propagandized
  • YouTube is censored and propagandized
  • Twitter is censored and propagandized
  • Reddit is censored and propagandized
  • Wikipedia is censored and propagandized
  • Facebook is censored and propagandized
  • Main Stream Media (News & Entertainment) are censored and propagandized
  • Amazon books are censored and propagandized

Beyond the obvious censorship above, many other sites have been removed and or damaged by Cloudflare, PayPal, Vimeo, Discord and others in an effort to censor content – 8Chan for example was removed by Cloudflare. And many Discord servers were deleted including Digging Deeper and PSB. Amazon has removed excellent books written by historians like James Perloff and others. Even the seemingly innocuous WordPress got into the action by removing Jay Dyer’s web site.

All these actions have prevented millions of people from getting the news and information they want: some of these channels have over a million subscribers each. Additionally, these actions have destroyed careers, businesses, incomes, and decades of work by content creators.

What is it they desire to censor? Anything the established power structure perceives as a threat. If you want to beat an idea, it seems to me the best way is with refutation and evidence, not propaganda and deletion. Censorship drives ideas underground and gives them credibility they may or may not deserve.

The tyrannical reasoning –if any is given– is a thinly-veiled, unfounded allegation of hate speech, the 17th letter of the English alphabet or other specious augments.

“To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.”
unknown (sometimes mistakenly attributed to Voltaire)

With all the deception and false information being pushed by the established power structure, the responsibility of untangling this mess is up to you and me; which is where it should be anyway.

The quick and easy way is to trust authorities, but this is what got us into the mess we are in today. We must become self-sufficient or we become livestock to be herded by our masters.

If we intend to progress, we must develop tools to help us chart an accurate map of the topology before us– because without an accurate map, we are easy prey for the gangsters who lie in wait before us. Equally important is the path we have traveled; if you don’t know where you have been, how can you determine reasonably where you want to go?

There are many tools already available to make our travels much easier and safer. These include a healthy dose of skepticism especially when it comes to known liars like those listed above. Include with this list government agencies like the FBI and CIA and other known liars. There is absolutely no reason to trust a known liar, so become adept at collecting data points from many sources without accepting them as fact. Once you have collected data points, start your analysis to see correlations and make some connections. Putting events on a timeline is always helpful. Other tools include learning the Trivium and learning how to spot logical fallacies which are used abundantly by the MSM and others. Learn the top 24 or so, how to spot them and how to dismantle them. Takes some practice.

NOTE: Trivium (grammar, logic, and rhetoric)  More on the Trivium can be found here:  https://tragedyandhope.com/trivium/

A History Written by Victors

by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | November 18, 2019

I’ve been steeped in the Jewish Holocaust of WWII most of my life. I’ve read many books on the topic and have visited Holocaust museums to observe the documented horror and show my respects. In high school, I read ‘Man’s Search for Meaning’ by Viktor Frankl (Holocaust survivor, surviving Theresienstadt, Auschwitz, Kaufering and Türkheim). In his book, Viktor describes in gruesome detail his time in the Nazi concentration camps and how he managed to survive.  I credit this book with my own personal survival of a different holocaust some three decades later. My favorite 13-part British documentary ‘The Ascent of Man’ presented by British mathematician and historian and Polish-Jew Jacob Bronowski expressed profound and moving conclusions on the lessons of the Holocaust. I had Jewish rabbis as friends and neighbors, whom I’ve had long philosophical discussions with, helped repair fences (literally), move refrigerators, stayed in touch with over decades, eaten dinner with, watched their kids grow up, etc.

The Truth Fears No Questions

And I’ve watched all the historical documentaries you have depicting all the emaciated Jews behind barbed wire fences in Nazi concentration camps saved by the US Military. I’ve seen the stacks of shoes in piles next to the ovens at these same camps. And I heard of the lamp-shades made out of human skin, and I’ve heard that Hitler ordered the extermination of 6 million Jews and this was the Holocaust. And so today if you are really pissed at someone, you can call them Hitler which is the worst approved pejorative possible, since we all know it is a ‘well-established fact’ Hitler was a monster.

Despite all the above, I am no fool. After reading Quigley, Perloff and Sutton, I discover most of what I knew about WWII is just not true; and so, I wonder about the Holocaust too. Only problem, it is illegal to wonder about the Holocaust in 17 countries; and if you dare ask any questions here in the good old US of A –no matter how innocent– you are quickly labeled a ‘Holocaust denier’, attacked by the powerful ADL and may lose your job, your friends, your internet platform, etc. I must ask though, if this truth is so very true, why then must we enact laws to protect this fragile truth from critical scrutiny? I’m thinking the truth of the Holocaust might just be one of the biggest red pills ever.

What if the real monster was Winston Churchill? What if Churchill was a drunkard, gambler in debt up to his eyeballs to Rothschild; and what if Churchill delighted in firebombing 200,000 – 500,000 innocent men, women and children melting them into the pavement when there was zero military benefit for this mass murder. What if the gassing chambers were really to get rid of lice? What if the emaciated bodies were due to the Allied forces embargo? What if it were only 300 to 600,000 and not 6 million? What if FDR knew about the attack on Pearl Harbor prior to the attack and did nothing? What if Rockefeller’s Standard Oil was selling a special synthetic oil to Hitler (without which there would have been no war) while denying the same to our troops? And what if there were no lamp-shades made out of human skin?  And what if “History is written by the victors.”?

On the matter of Memorial Day

by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | May 27, 2018

Before the events of 9/11, I knew that the Vietnam War was based on a lie that cost millions of innocent civilian lives, 58,220 American lives and countless wounded; but I still held out a belief of the good war like WWII. Later I learned that WWII and WWI were both based on lies too. I then read Smedley Butler’s ‘War is a Racket’ and listened to James Perloff’s excellent lecture on the major wars of the 20th Century and discovered that the United States was not about spreading democracy and freedom, but about a hidden force of economic and geopolitical interests who orchestrated these wars for their own personal agendas.

Replacing False Data with Real Data

by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | Oct 01, 2017

Read

We now have documented evidence that the Civil War, Spanish-American War, WWI, the Bolshevik Revolution, WWII, the Korean War and the War in Vietnam were all based on lies and fraud orchestrated and managed by people whose names few would recognize … and so the history we thought we knew is just not so.

There are many important books –and of course I would never claim I know them all– but a few major works provided me a peek over the walled garden in which I lived most of my life.   These represent a few milestones in my journey to better understand the world into which I was born and provided me actual facts that cut deeply against the mythology promulgated 24X7 from womb to tomb by the propaganda organs of our existing power structure.   Unfortunately these propaganda organs include our public schools, our news and entertainment media, our universities, tax-exempt foundations and our government. Most believe these myths and so repeat them.   These common myths have now become the bedrock of our general understanding and collective agreement of how the world works. In short, these myths have become our generally accepted and agreed-to reality. A reality based not in fact but in deception, fraud, obfuscation and lies. So who would do such a thing?   And how could so few men keep this information hidden for so long? Surely someone would have discovered these facts and told the world, right?   Well they did tell the world but few have the time or interest to pay attention while the generally promulgated myths have their many benefactors.

So what to do? Spread knowledge based on sourced, documented fact.

Most people don’t have time, energy or interest to read Quigley’s academic 1,348 page ‘Tragedy and Hope’ or his 354 page ‘Anglo-American Establishment’ or the many other books by Sutton, Griffin, Perloff, etc.… to get their own front row seat to the workings of real power on the world stage, and so are denied their real history or an understanding of how it was managed.

Recognizing the problem of the large size and difficulty of these great books, Joseph Plummer invested many years of his life distilling these great works into two small easily approachable books: ‘Tragedy & Hope 101’ and ‘Dishonest Money’ which are now available to anyone.

For my part, I offered to give Plummer’s two books away for free (including the S&H) to any who would promise to read them. I am proud to say, I have given away 11 sets of these excellent books. I’m planting good, clean, healthy, honest seeds which may take years to germinate, but am hoping this butterfly wing flapping in the wind of this small town in Texas will become a tsunami washing away some of the evil which has enslaved the minds of so many; replacing false data with real data.

World War II – A Necessary Re-Evaluation

by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | June 04, 2017

Truth Fears No Questions

With the aid of the internet and the great research provided by Quigley, Sutton and Perloff, the real history of WWII can now be told, and it does make a difference.

Feb 13, 1945: Firebombing of Dresden

Over the years, I’ve been asked for my take on World War II many times. I’ve mostly avoided this topic only giving hints at my perspective (warning that it’s not what it appears) until I had time to properly sequence the events in light of the new information I had learned from reading the well-researched and documented writings of Quigley, Sutton and Perloff.   So in lieu of my reasoned opinion based on the more recent and accurate context provided by the three gentlemen above, I offer up two interviews and discussions between Tim Kelly and James Perloff and Tim Kelly and Joe Atwill (below).  To supplement this, consider reading the following relatively short books:

The Anglo-American Establishment by Carroll Quigley

And Antony C. Sutton’s trilogy:

  1. Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution: The Remarkable True Story of the American Capitalists Who Financed the Russian Communists.
  2. Wall Street and FDR
  3. Wall Street & the Rise of Hitler
  4. And watching James’ excellent lecture (found on YouTube) entitled ‘The Shadows of Power; the CFR and decline of America

You can also find James Perloff’s book on this same topic entitled ‘The Shadows of Power: The Council on Foreign Relations and the American Decline

To round-out your understanding of World War II, it is highly desirable –once you have read the above—to read Hitler’s ‘Mein Kampf‘ to get a complete view of the context. You will discover what you have been told by the American education system and the corporate media is a total and complete fabrication. The only way to defeat our masters is to defeat the mythology they have placed in our heads.

12/22/21: Update.. Since so many of the videos below have been deleted, I’m posting this recent interview here:  Timothy Kelly podcast episode: “E. Michael Jones on the Holocaust Narrative

EPISODE DESCRIPTION: Dr. E. Michael Jones returns to Our Interesting Time to discuss his article in this December’s Culture Wars “Dachau for Dummies: A Review of The Defeated.” We also talk about last month’s election in Virginia and how the oligarchs’ attempt to impose centralized technocratic control is revitalizing States’ Rights and undermining the legitimacy of the American Empire. 

Dr. Jones is the editor of Culture Wars magazine and the author of several books including Logos Rising: A History of Ultimate Reality and the recently released second edition of The Jewish Revolutionary Spirit and Its Impact on World History.

PROBING THE HOLOCAUST: THE HORROR EXPLAINED (1:36:40)

Splendid little war for America

A cartoon (above) of Uncle Sam seated in restaurant looking at the bill of fare containing “Cuba steak”, “Porto Rico pig”, the “Philippine Islands” and the “Sandwich Islands” (Hawaii).

by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | April  30, 2017

If you’re like me, you didn’t learn too much about the “Splendid little war for America” back in 1898 – also known as the Spanish-American War. Not much is said about this little war, but it marks a major turning point for the United States. This pivotal, contrived war, was the banker’s ‘test-war’ to convince Americans that foreign entanglements were a good thing; and so, this was a “splendid little war” that set the template for all wars to follow; and America was brought from a non-interventionism posture into the beginnings of a world empire controlled by the international bankers. This was America’s first war for another country; and in this case, the excuse was to “liberate Cuba!”

The Spanish-American war had the classic trademarks of the wars we see today. So, what was the template?
1. Big false flag: The sinking of the Maine (zero evidence Spain had anything to do with this)
2. Bankers (National City Bank of New York) in control of the White House from behind the scene
3. Bankers pushing for the war (National City Bank of New York)
4. Americans propelled to the war by fake atrocity stories
5. Americans going overseas fighting for freedom and democracy

But after the provable false stories from the media about the actions of Spain —feeding Cubans to the sharks; the abuse of white women and children; roasting Cuban priests; butchered women and babies; and the depiction in the media about the Spanish being sub-human apes— the war was on, and everybody agreed it was a good and just war. Remember the incubator babies (Gulf war 1991), Gaddafi’s Viagra in Libya and Assad’s Sarin Gas? All false.

The splendid war was over in short order and everyone was happy. The Rockefellers got the sugar industry (sugar was so valuable at the time it was known as ‘white gold’) and the US took Puerto Rico, the Philippines and Guam from Spain and they grabbed Hawaii (not Spain’s) while they were at it.

We were told we would free the Cubans from Spain’s colonial rule, but when we took over, we called them not colonies but ‘possessions’, so that made it okay. In the Philippines, the rebels or the freedom fighters were fighting for self-determination against Spain, yet when we took over the Philippines, we betrayed these same freedom fighters that had just helped us. When it was all over, we had killed over 20,000 military men in the freedom movement and 200,000 more civilians… yes, it was a very splendid war indeed. This was the little war whose very successful template set the stage for all US wars to follow.

Spanish–American War in the historical timeline …
1. Declaration of Independence 1776
2. Jackson’s Central Bank War 1832-1841
3. Civil war 1861 – 1865
4. Spanish-American War 1898
5. Federal Reserve Act 1913
6. WWI 1914 -1918
7. Bolshevik Revolution 1917
8. WWII 1939 – 1945
9. Korean War 1950 – 1953
10. Vietnam War: 1955 – 1975
