Dining with the Oligarchy
I was late to lunch. Having gone round and round in midtown traffic, I was in desperate search of a parking structure near La Grenouille on 52nd street. I was (illegally) talking on my cell phone whining about this high-class dilemma to a Los Angeles based friend, who tried to offer help by proclaiming “They must have valet parking!” It gave me pause; would La Grenouille even open the door to my 1993 Volvo station wagon, let alone park it? Eventually I stumbled upon an underground lot a block away, and arrived forty-five minutes late; an actor, starving, in hopes of at this point, a mere cup of coffee to relieve my pounding head.
I was seated next to my dear friend Dina Merrill, who’s husband Ted Hartley had invited me to this occasion. I first met Dina 32 years ago working in a Broadway play called “Angel Street” in which she was the Star. Those heady days left such fond memories for me. I was planting my feet on a Broadway stage for the first time in my life…a dream fulfilled, and it was “Angel Street” that got me my Equity union card. (The Producer Shepard Traube purchased it for me for $300.00) Because my professional theatrical experience was nil, the publicist, exercising creative license, filled my Playbill bio with credits like “She was a child prodigy on the violin.” My time in that play was brief, and it was particularly humbling to me because it was book-ended by my job as a waitress at the now defunct Lion’s Rock restaurant on East 77th street. Lion’s Rock, Broadway Stage, Lion’s Rock. I was thrilled to work with Dina, and I’m grateful that we are friends in this giant theatrical family.
Seated to the right of me was a familiar looking gentleman I recognized from a dinner party at Dina and Ted’s home last summer in East Hampton. Dina, always the Queen of graciousness, introduced me to everyone at the table, and in true actor’s form, I was thrilled that in spite of my tardiness, I was just in time for the meal.
As the endive and pear salad was put before me, I began chatting with the handsome man “on the right”. He told me that he had just come from attending a Barack Obama hullabaloo at Cooper Union. He noted that it was at Cooper Union where Illinois’ own Abraham Lincoln had spoken, and now Barack was Illinois’ own.(Of course my barking ego hammered; am I Illinois’ own too, being an entertainer from Winnetka?) He went on to say how he was impressed by Barack’s economic strategy. He thought that the presidential candidate showed true leadership and if he did become President, he would with great resolve deliver us from the dire economic mess we’re currently in. Matching his enthusiasm, I asked, “Well, did he propose abolishing the Federal Reserve and their stalwart collection agency, the IRS?” After a mutual chuckle,(well, I chuckled, he sort of half- smiled) I went on to proclaim that it was the very same Abraham Lincoln who declared that only the Government should issue Legal Tender, matched in Gold and Silver from its treasury. It was never the intention of our founding Fathers to borrow money with interest from a Private Banking Cartel like the Federal Reserve. I went on to say that this Central Bank that controls and manipulates the market, keeps printing more money which drives up inflation, and since we got rid of the gold standard in ‘71 we might as well start using the colorful paper from our Monopoly game to see how far that gets us, since the current value of the dollar and the money in the Parker Brother’s game are just about equal.
It was at this point I remembered who it was I was talking to. The “man on the right” was none other than Bill Donaldson, former Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission appointed by George W. Bush in 2003, after the previous Chairman left under a cloud. Prior to that, at one point in his illustrious career, Bill was even Chairman of the New York Stock Exchange,(the rest of his impressive resume, I would find out after lunch when I was free to Google him). A revelation of this stature prompted me to qualify my prior speech about the value of the dollar by placing my hand on his shoulder and proclaiming, “But you know that!”
The day before, when the news broke that Brad Pitt was related to Barack Obama, I decided to do a little digging and connect the dots of my own family’s history. The Ebersole’s claim to fame through the bloodline on my father’s side was a man named Elihu Root, a Nobel Prize winning Lawyer and Statesman, who worked as Secretary of State and Secretary of War under McKinley and Teddy Roosevelt. (My grandfather’s name was Amos Root Ebersole…I figured we were the poor relations, as the Root/Ebersoles I knew of were German Mennonite farmers from Pennsylvania) I brought this bit of news up to Bill, partly because Elihu Root defended the 16th amendment,(the Federal tax) and he was a New York senator when a few powerful Wall Street Financiers, Bankers and Government big wigs created the Federal Reserve in 1913. “The sixteenth amendment was never ratified!” I chimed, “the Federal tax is un-constitutional! …but you know that! (He knew of Elihu Root, but didn’t know that the ratifying of the 16th amendment was unofficially fraudulent.)
Genealogical sidebar aside, Barack remained on the front burner of our discussion. Like the cat out of the bag, or a horse out of the barn, my political passion ensued with engine speed. I went on to say that Barack, as charismatic and articulate as he appeared, was essentially bought and sold. Like every presidential candidate Democrat or Republican, with the exception of the marginalized Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich and Mike Gravel, Barack Obama has a powerful connection with the Council on Foreign Relations. Even though this private, organization states that it is non-partisan, and “dedicated to improving the understanding of U.S. foreign policy and international affairs through the free and civil exchange of ideas”, behind the curtain of this secret group is the CFR’s loyalty to the New World Order, or one World Government, run by (its primary allegiance) a Central World Bank. George H.W.”Poppy” Bush, talked about the New World Order on September 11, 1991(you-tube, look it up)shortly after the Bush family was implicated in the Savings and Loan scandal that cost the taxpayers 1.4 trillion dollars. Bill Clinton talked about the New World Order during his Presidency, and Barack Obama talked about it in 2007 in a speech in Chicago. Obama’s biggest supporter is Zbigniew Brzezinski, one of the architects of the Trilateral Commission, and a member of The Council on Foreign Relations. In his pursuit of US-UK World domination, Brzezinski knows that Obama will give a face-lift to US Imperialism, as we move stealth-like, to an increasingly debt ridden world of servitude. “You don’t need Armies and tanks”, I chirped, “all you need is debt. Debt is slavery!”
The Council on Foreign Relations‘ commitment to this Central Bank and its increasing power in the reordering of the world’s economy, spells the end of United States Sovereignty. We are joining with Canada and Mexico to form the North American Union, the dollar will be replaced by the “amero”, and we have the “Real ID” merrily headed our way under the banner of “security and safety”.
At this point Mr. Donaldson looked at me and simply stated, ” Your thoughts are mind-boggling!”. As we both laughed, I felt a strange silent acknowledgement of the inevitable; all I could repeat was the mantra to this former Government/Wall street Titan; “You know that!”. His mantra perhaps, though silent; “how does an entertainer formulate these thoughts?” Instead he pleaded, “I wish I could convince you otherwise!” I carried on, chastising the main stream media for being the biggest culprits in perpetuating this illusion of democracy, and keeping everyone distracted with the latest Brittany Spears escapade (talk about Lamb of God) as the American people along with our shriveling dollars are being sold down the river. By this time, we both had finished the first and second courses, and dodging the assorted glasses of red and white wine in front of me, I drank from the water goblet in the back.
I reassured Mr. Donaldson that even though it was the ending of America and our civil liberties, the dollar and the Constitution, our Sovereignty and our individual freedom, I said I was going to be all right, for I was sensing the information I was disseminating was causing concern to this kind man, like a father worried for one of his own. He asked me how I knew I was going to be alright and I said, “Because I’m not afraid of who I am. I ask myself ‘What Would Toto Do?’ While everyone was shaking in their boots at the great and powerful Oz, Toto was merely parting the curtain, and while we all stand shaking in our boots at the most corrupt and secretive Un-American administration in our nation’s history, looking for a Messiah to deliver us from our foreign, domestic and economic evils, remember, it is the metaphoric Toto in all of us, the recognition of our innate curiosity and goodness; not afraid of Truth, not afraid of our Light; this alignment with our Divinity is a mighty force that is our ultimate Savior.
This economic and spiritual communion took place while dining on a sumptuous meal at one of the finest French (is it o.k. that I mentioned French?) restaurants in New York City. We wound down the lively (pretty much one-sided) conversation by mentioning the delicious food, the glorious dessert and bold coffee along with expressing our gratitude and the merits of being Dina and Ted’s friends. As we were getting up to leave, one of the guests mentioned that she and her husband were late getting into the city, as they had just flown in from Chicago, and arrived at the airport forty five minutes prior to the start of the luncheon.(around the same time I was circling La Grenouille in my ‘93 station wagon). In an attempt to commiserate with her dilemma I piped in with “I hear they cancelled a lot of flights due to the weather ” She replied, “Oh no, we flew in a private plane.” To cover the tracks of my ignorance in social hierarchy I quickly retorted with ” Well thank God for that!”
I said my goodbyes to everyone after taking pictures with other guests who hailed from Libertyville IL. (I just finished a pilot for Lifetime of the same name and thought perhaps the photographing of this coincidence would ensure its pickup) In my final farewells to Bill and his lovely wife Jane, I thanked Bill for allowing me to share my thoughts with him, as I was sure it was not something he expected at an Investor’s luncheon. He looked at me with concern, then smiled warmly and said “We have to talk!” (He probably was hoping next time he could get in a few more words. )
I drove back to Maplewood after stopping for aspirin at the Alexander Hamilton convenience stop on the 95, leaving behind an afternoon of rubbing shoulders with the rich and powerful at an exclusive New York restaurant. I decided to do more research on my famous relative, this time connecting bloodlines instead of shoulders, with the rich and powerful of yesterday.
Turns out Elihu Root was the founding Chairman of The Council on Foreign Relations. Its illustrious membership roster began more than 80 years ago with a man who ironically argued for three hours on the Senate floor against the Federal Reserve Act. It fell on deaf ears. This Republican Senator from New York, ahead of his time, warned against the reduction in bank reserves and alluded to the dollar crisis that would ensue, when inflation would drive foreigners to sell American securities (dollars). This well intentioned man, warning us of the dangers of the Federal Reserve, went on to establish a very powerful, private, group of which Barack Obama is a part of, that makes and shapes foreign and domestic policy without ever having to answer to the American People, faithful to establishing a One World Government, Global Elite Bankers, take all.
Curiosity and the internet, can be a fatal combination, when it comes to one’s need for sleep. Around 2 a.m. after hours of reading about my Nobel prize winning ancestor who tried to save the Union from the catastrophic consequences of the Federal Reserve, I went back to my Yahoo home page and as I was about to close the laptop and outen the light, I saw the headlines for the day. I was astounded.. another dot was being connected without even searching for it. It read “TREASURY’S PLAN WOULD GIVE THE FEDERAL RESERVE WIDE NEW POWER.” I thought about Barack Obama and Brad Pitt, and the lovely luncheon with waiters that spoke French and I thought of my ancestor Elihu Root. Thou my feelings were mixed on the accomplishments of this Republican Statesman, ,strangely all of this internet information had left me with a sense of hope and inspiration in spite of parting the curtain on the Truth of this World of unforgiving debt and its debtors. I thought of my ole’ pal Jesus when he said,”You shall know the Truth, and the Truth will make you Free.” So to all the Power Elitists who would bark, “Let them eat cake!”, my motto is “Google!” Toto would agree.

So happy to log on here and see a new blog. Wanted to say again how much i enjoyed Grey Gardens. I really wish they would have recorded it and released it as a dvd. Was hoping to get to see you next time I come to new york, but with your neighbor Michael having sold his house in Maplewood I’ll have to wait and side by the stagedoor next time you do a show.
I completely feel you about having an old car. Mine is a couple years younger than yours, and all my friends laugh but i prefer not to waste money on a car. Having left NYC and returned to WV I am always a bit nervous when returning to NYC and having dinner with friends and power players in the city. Its like a completely different world.
Keep updating the blog, I am sure I speak for all your fans when I say we love the insight.
April 4th, 2008 at 2:32 pm
I admire you for speaking for mind and I’d love to hear more of your thoughts. Stay staunch!
April 6th, 2008 at 1:08 pm
It is so great to hear someone speaking the truth about the Fed and the Council. You sure have some guts to speak your mind in front of someone so involved in the system. Good for you!!! Keep up the good work.
p.s. have loved you since the OLTL days and can’t wait for the new recording. You make me smile.
April 6th, 2008 at 2:05 pm
Great Post … great information … great to see someone in Show Biz speak out and take a stand on what so many of us are becoming aware of. A lot of Totos taking a peek behind that arrogant government curtain. Your Blog is refreshing and insightful and honest.
April 6th, 2008 at 3:47 pm
Kudos to you Ms Ebersole!!!!!! I have been trying to tell family the same thing for months…obviously your family has known all along…The fed is illegal, and they are destroying this country!!! I marched outside my local newspaper in the Hudson Valley, NY and was upset of the poor coverage Ron Paul has been given….The media has squed this circus beyond belief….Not one of the three people still in the race (although Paul is still in, but you wouldn’t know it) will change a damn thing in DC!!! Keep that beautiful voice speaking!!!!!!
April 6th, 2008 at 8:55 pm
Kudos to you, Christine. Finally someone brave enough to speak out against the CFR. As always, I constantly applaud you, onstage and off, for your efforts! Please keep speaking out for change! We need your voice!

Hey Christine-
Linked to this from Rosie’s ask Ro blog. Question: Why is this entry just here? Why don’t you rewrite it for the Huffington Post?
You’re obviously smart - one of the few celebs I’ve heard expressing a little-heard opinion. The new piece may need some streamlining to make it more a 101 for people unfamiliar with the basics of your subject matter, but you should really do it.
Link back to this blog. Get people talking, writing and thinking. Link your blog to other political blogs and become part of a larger dialogue.
You’re a two-time Tony winner - work it.
And check out this Viggo Mortensen-narrated short on a related topic:

Interesting and eloquent history lesson. Not surprising from a fellow New Trier West grad. I was amazed by your voice when I heard you sing in Camelot with Richard Burton, and surprised yet again today to learn this information about our history and potential future. You are an unpredictable goldmine! I am mostly impressed that you were able to speak your mind to essentially a stranger. I admire your confidence. Patti

April 11th, 2008 at 9:53 am
I’m listening to you right now (4/11) on the Alex Jones show. Your example is so inspiring!
April 11th, 2008 at 10:27 am
I listened to you on the Alex Jones Show today talking about the “system.” I’m glad to know that you can see the big picture. America is under attack from every direction. Whether it’s Real ID, NAU, illegal immigration, the war on terrorism, free trade agreements, election fraud, 2nd Amendment rights, global warming ad finitem, the rulers of this world are keeping us disunited by shotgunning us from so many different directions; it becomes impossible to keep up with it all. It’s not enough to divide us politically, racially, economically, or religiously, they must also divide us among a multitude of political issues. It’s just another tactic in their large arsenal of weapons that keep us weak.
It is natural to blame the government for the condition in which we find our nation; however the problem lies beyond the obvious. These problems have been created by powerful elites who have, over centuries, positioned their secret power structure behind the perceived leadership of conventional governments. This secret power is described in Ephesians 6:12:
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
Who are these world rulers? The answer to that question can be little more than conjecture because few are in position to know, and those who are, are not talking. Because so few people know this power structure exists, and those that do are unable to put a face on it, it exists not as flesh and blood, which has enabled it to remain untouchable for many generations. This hidden principality is now in the process of increasing and consolidating its power over the world. It is essential to recognize that this secret worldwide principality is real, or it becomes impossible to understand the big picture. Their strategy is for people to direct their frustrations toward their elected political leaders; however, to do so is completely fruitless because those we recognize as our leaders are mere puppets acting out on a grand stage.
The Bible calls this hidden world principality the rulers of darkness who are spiritually wicked. That means the war being conducted against us is spiritual as well as political; therefore, it is hopeless resist this war on a single plane. Many are trying to fight back politically. They desire to put a face on the enemy, so they tend to go after individuals. This has absolutely no effect because power is not held by individuals; the power is in the system. This system is scientifically created and nearly ubiquitous. A system by nature is intangible, you cannot see or touch it; therefore, it can be difficult to perceive even though its tentacles reach into every facet of society, extending throughout the world. It controls our schools, money, government, media, religion, science, entertainment, and business. All these areas have been integrated into the greater system, though most people mistakenly view them as totally separate institutions. The system is so pervasive that it has become indestructible. If one area could be destroyed or reformed, its power would still remain. A system is extremely difficult to abolish because of its self-perpetuating nature consisting of a multiplicity of policies, laws, rules, and regulations that infuse our society. It does not rely on any one human being, not even the President. This system is operated by a multitude of individuals each executing the procedures of their minute portion of the system, which when viewed as a microcosm, appears to be harmless; further, it is commonly seen as good. A broad view is necessary before its evil becomes apparent. People come and go but the system always remains intact, strengthening and enlarging itself continuously.
It is extremely difficult to fight against a system because to fight the system you are obligated to work within it. The system has created official procedures that those who disagree must follow in order to register complaints. The problem is those that created the system also created the system by which dissenters are allowed to register their grievances. The key is to make us feel as if we are fighting a cause when really all we are doing is being kept busy. You see, the system is set up to dominate, so when the prescribed process for registering a protest is followed, the protestor is already set up to loose. That a process is available to accommodate the disgruntled is psychologically beneficial in that people are made feel that they play a useful roll. Even if they get nowhere, they nevertheless feel good about their efforts. Providing an avenue of response for the discontented is often all it takes to appease their anger. That’s not to say that superficial victories are not sometimes achieved. They are accommodated in order to reassure the populace that their voices are being heard; however these occasional small victories have no real effect on the greater system. It is relentless in its cause. The system is designed to perpetuate the perception of bottom up control; however this perception is artificially created through psychological manipulation. In reality its control is as top-down as any ten horn dictatorship, all the while proclaiming the will of the people. While the power appears to go back and forth between two opposition parties, this appearance of opposition has been designed into the system. The political parties do not operate the system, but operate within the system. The next time you hear a government puppet talking about democracy, keep in mind that their definition of a democracy is not the same as yours and mine. Their definition of a democracy is a system of top-down control, which is designed in such a way as to lead the people into falsely assuming that they hold influence over power. Their democracy is not a government controlled by the people, but a system designed to keep the people under control while deluding them into believing that they still have control.
So when an attempt is made to politically reform the government the reformer must operate within a system that is fixed. It’s like trying to play ball against a team that always has the home field advantage, selects and pays their own referees, and is even allowed to make up the rules as they go along. Politicians can be replaced; however almost always the “viable” candidates have been previously vetted and financed by agents of the shadow government. The result is we end up choosing between two bought and paid for candidates; yes we vote, but they do the nominating.
Another attribute of the system is its ability to make itself appear fair, legitimate, professional, enlightened, and good, with its top priority always being the best interest of the nation and its people. In reality the system is as two sided as doctor Jeckel and Mr. Hyde. It has an overt side, which is there for all to see and to work freely within, and a covert or subversive side. The overt side operates under the law, or at least the color of law, while the subversive side operates outside the law and is seldom noticed by the public. Because the covert side remains nonexistent in most people’s minds, it faces little opposition. The overt side is trumpeted and legitimized by the news media, while the criminal side is mostly ignored. The subversive side of the system operates much as an organized crime syndicate. Honest people can operate within the system, never knowingly coming into contact with its criminal side. When corrupt officials are caught in the act, the news media reacts as if every episode of corruption is an exception to the rule. Sometimes the media will simply ignore it completely, create spin to obfuscate the matter, or reinforce official theories without question. The job of the media is to continuously reinforce the legitimacy of the system in the minds of the populace. The overt side of the system is capable of neutralizing threats on a routine basis simply by the nature of its design; however in rare instances the threat becomes too great for the system to shake off, so its subversive side goes into action to neutralize the threat. This can happen when a candidate who is antagonistic toward the system becomes dangerously popular among the people. If he is not rejected by the system, which is designed to eject outsiders who attempt to compete for high office, he is made impotent or destroyed by the subversive side of the system. The result of all this is that even if a movement operating legitimately within the system can become powerful enough to be viewed as a real threat, it can still be neutralized by the criminal side of the system through unlawful means. The overt side of the system will then work to keep these subversive activities out of public knowledge. Even those who are aware of its existence underestimate the size and scope of its corruption because it’s just so hard to believe that people, especially those in a position of trust, can be so evil.

Hello Christine, I loved your appearance on the Alex Jone Show! As a physicist with many years service as a Technical Communications Consultant for companies like Microsoft and Oracle I am not ashamed to come out and tell it like it is: the official fiction “explaining” 9/11 has about as much to do with science as Santa Claus
Maybe I’m so bold because I left my career in Silicon Valley to start work on my first nonfiction book covering how Her Highness Technology has a self-serving agenda and how she dominates not only we “little people” but the elite as well. She’s on a drive for Total Dominance and intends to replace us with Homo Sapiens 2.0, a genetically dumbed down species that will serve with no questions asked. For more information please do check out my site: www.sillyConValley.net. And post a comment and let me know what you think!
April 11th, 2008 at 11:39 pm
I’m speechless. Brilliant. One thing though, it’s not a one world government they want. It’s a one world Wall Street. They even have a new term - Market Democracy. You vote with your credit card in Wall Street World. Who needs government?
Walter Wriston, former chair if Citi, whose book, The Twilight of Sovereignty, I just suffered through, makes the case that government is obsolete - what with all these new gadgets and all.
I’ll defer to the late historian Caroll Quigley, of Harvard, Princeton, and Georgetown, who was no stranger to oligarchs himself. Speaking of the cabal who founded the Council on Foreign Relation:
“…[T]he powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences. The apex of the system was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basle, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world’s central banks which were themselves private corporations….”
This, of course, was referring to the early 20th century, when uncle Elihu was still attending lovely dinner parties. But looking back, 80 years later, I’d say their little scheme has gone off without a hitch.
One other thing, I’m not so sure about Obama. He may surprise us.
Anyway, that was a wonderful essay. Thank you for sharing it.

April 13th, 2008 at 8:02 pm
Hello Christine,
Thank you for your courage and as you so perfectly
stated, for your emotional intelligence. That phrase really rang a bell with me when I heard you interviewed by Alex Jones. For two years I have tried diligently, passionately, diplomatically, deftly, softly, loudly, clumsily and every other way I can think of to wake up friends, neighbors, family and colleagues to the truth about the events of 9/11. I have failed probably 80% of the time. Most of these folks are in the top 5% of the nation’s wage earners. Last week I engaged in a discussion with three neighbor friends, two of whom are Medical Doctors, and another who does indeed have a few concerns about 9/11. I brought the collapse of WTC-7, the work of David Ray Griffin and Steven Jones, and the work of Richard Gage (AE 9/11 Truth) to their attention, I thought surely this would help them see what is plainly evident, right?:
Here is the actual response I just received on Friday night from one of them, an Orthopedic surgeon:
——————————————–
Dear xxxx,
I’ve reviewed much of what you’ve sent, and I still don’t see a different explanation. Undoubtedly, I will continue to believe in the terrorist theory, and those who believe the conspiracy theory will continue to do so. The point is not to change someone else’s mind….
Regarding Building 7: Facts use to support an inside job and my thoughts:
1. small pile of rubble; if you look at the physics of any building falling, it doesn’t matter how it goes down. It’s going to be the same pile of rubble at the end. There is not lateral vector acting on the building, just the downward pull of gravity; buildings like these are designed not to fall side to side for obvious reasons (high population density).
2. Thermite and other chemicals. The whole contents of the building is mixed at the bottom. It sounds like its a common chemical and could be found just about anywhere. The ‘yellow’ coming out of the building?? I don’t know. I imagine it could be just about any other burning element, item, metal, etc. (I’m still not sure if that was from building 7 or the twin tower; if it was from the twin towers, do we know if the terrorists had anything with them [ie. a bomb, thermite, etc.]).
3. The “timed explosions” on the side of bldg 7. Correct me if I’m wrong, but many demolition occurs by taking out the bottom floor only, and the mass of the building does the rest. There are not explosions or detonations at other building levels. The fact that the bldg 7 collapse shows similar puffs of smoke as a controlled demolition to me just shows that it fell similarly; not that there were timed explosions or detonations occuring. That is probably just the floors sequentially failing under the weight. With the combination of fire, disruptions of the foundation (think earthquake) from the twin tower collapse, likely loss of plumbing/water (thus the fires continued to burn?), I don’t find it too surprising that #7 could collapse too (since everything else in the vicinity went down too).
I could go on, but we’ll talk about it some other time.
Here’s my other point or analogy:
Consider if you suspected that your wife was cheating on you (disclaimer: I’m not aware of this being true for anyone, thus I’ll use this analogy comfortably). She goes out for a weekend away and there are some inconsistencies in her story when she returns that make you suspicious. She denies any infidelity adamantly.
There are four scenarios and two outcomes here:
1. You believe her (she is telling the truth) and get on with your life, and make the most of your marriage. –Good outcome
2. You believe her (although she was unfaithful) and you get on with your life, and make the most of your marriage. Could end good or bad
3. You don’t believe her (although she is telling the truth), and you ruin your marriage because of distrust. –Bad outcome
4. You don’t believe her (and she was unfaithful), you’ll both manage to run your marriage down the toilet. — Bad outcome
With #1: That’s the best scenario.
With #2: it’s a bad deal, but you are willing to do your part to make the most of your marriage. If she continues to be unfaithful, she will manage to ruin your marriage on her own. If she changes her ways, hopefully everything will be fine.
With 3&4: Bad things result no matter what; I doesn’t mean you should be blind to the truth, but also that you need to not keep looking for reasons to call her a liar.
For those having trouble seeing my analogy, you’re still you and your wife is the “government.” This isn’t directed at anyone, just an analogy.
There is too much distrust in our world already; I think we all just need a big group hug and we can move on.
That’s my final thought on this subject. I’m going skating.
Nxxx

It was immediately evident to me that he had not actually read any of the material I had sent him, nor had he carefully considered the scientific data. Sadly, he doesn’t even realize how ignorant his conclusions are and that all of the heavy lifting in the areas he cites has already been done by EXPERTS in those areas! He just immediately reasoned his way into continuing to embrace the official story because the alternative (a total and complete paradigm shift) was just simply too difficult for him to see as possible. He suggests a “group hug” to fix the world.
We are in sad, sad shape when the most “highly educated” among us cannot even take the time to seriously engage in basic research, much less a quest for the truth and political activism.
A lack of emotional intelligence indeed. God Bless.

Great Article Christine,
my only comment is that i too believed that Bush 41 made the “new world order” statement on 9/11/1991 but i then found out it was his state of the union address in January 1991.
keep up the good work
April 14th, 2008 at 9:42 pm
Hi all,
Thanks Christine, brave indeed. I would also like to thank mikeyb (post 13) - dude, that’s a revealed understanding from what I could only describe as a prophetic spirit. I wish more people would take the time to absorb THAT - it makes the rest easier to understand.
Cheers
Me.

In a 1910 letter published by the New York Times, Root supported the proposed income tax amendment, which became the Sixteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution:

I too heard you on The Alex Jones Show on April 11. You were a light beam of optimism in what was a downbeat show before your appearance. Go to the GCN archives and listen to the first hour of that show and listen for yourself. You should call Alex from time to time and cheer him up. All the bad news about the New World Order brings him down.
BTW, I’ve heard of Elihu Root but don’t much of anything about him. But I do know that William Howard Taft was a member of Skull and Bones at Yale. In fact, his father was a founding member in 1832. Taft proposed the income tax legislation before Congress in June 1909. His secretary of state, Philander Knox, declared the resulting 16th Amendment ratified one week before leaving office at the end of February 1913. You know how all these politicians pull crap just before leaving office…pardoning their friends and such. What have they got to lose, eh? DD

Caught you twice now, once on Alex and now on Dynamic Duo with Jim Fetzer today. Thanks for putting in the time. I don’t know how far you plan to stay with 9/11 truth, but I appreciate what you’ve done so far. Charlie Sheen made a significant contribution, but then he seemed to back away from the edge. As the Key Maker said in Matrix Reloaded, one does what one can.
Also, whenever I hear somebody say, “But you know that,” I’ll think of you. Makes me smile.

Thank you everyone for your wonderful observations comments and contributions, especially mikybe. You have beautifully articulated the global situation we are in, and I believe when the world wakes up and every individual realizes the Truth of Man and we have transcended duality,the spiritually wicked systems will cease to be. In the meantime, those who are awake, must shine their light of truth on the ignorant darkness of the world…. but you know that!

I still can’t get over your performance in “Grey Gardens.” Truly one of THE most wonderful performances ever (be it television, movies, theatre)!
What’s your take on GG with Drew and Jessica? Ugh!

This has absolutely nothing to do with this blog entry but I am on a mission. I remember you singing a song on SNL with the words “you can leave your toothbrush”. At least I THINK those words were in the song. It was a jazzy number. Can this be found anywhere such as youtube? Thanks!
