The globalist/establishment in all its forms (lodged in the media, both major political parties, the intelligence community, and Internet providers) now dominate most of the information from which we derive opinion. We are at risk of not having all the information necessary to insure responsible thought or action.
Because Trump took “their White House,” he is universally hated by all globalists whose intent is to squeeze him out by any means necessary. Seemingly all the major medias except Fox News and some radio talk shows, spew a continuous hate Trump line and vilify everyone defending or associated with him. No good is mentioned from their array of media outlets. No one in U.S. political history has been vilified more.
The intelligence community with Obama Administration holdovers, now referred to as the Deep State, targeted a duly elected president with what is now known as the “Russia Hoax.” Finding no evidence of Russia/Trump collusion after a two year Special Council Mueller probe; all in an effort to impeach their hated president as a traitor. This, while completely ignoring, even covering up, a real Russian/Clinton collusion story and the Russian Uranium One deal giving Russia 20% of America’s uranium profiting the Clintons by millions. This, with the bleach-bitted 35,000 Hillary Clinton emails (a copy discovered on the Anthony Weiner laptop) so attesting to this deal, many of which were classified documents sent over her unsecured server. Most of this information is absent in globalist controlled mediums.
Trump supporters, called “deplorables” by Hillary Clinton, do not see equal justice under the law and thus continue chanting “lock-her-up” at Trump rallies. Some Trump supporters have concluded that this never could happen with the existing information block on globalist controlled/influenced mediums. Hence some supporters are showing up at these rallies in Q t-shirts to bring attention to QAnon (hereafter cited as Q), a new defensive phenomenon in the present establishment war against Trump and patriots.
The Washington Post, August 1, 2018, fairly accurately described the movement, Q is ” an anonymous user claiming to be a government agent with top security clearance, waging war against the so-called deep state in service to the 45th president. “Q” feeds disciples, or “bakers,” scraps of intelligence, or “bread crumbs,” that they scramble to bake into an understanding of the “storm” — the community’s term, drawn from Trump’s cryptic reference last year to “the calm before the storm”— for the president’s final conquest over elites, globalists and deep-state saboteurs.” Q followers are those attempting to decode the vague messages found on the 4chan and 8chan message boards.
Q posts are designed to provide hints or thought suggestions that lead discussions. These may include lesser known published articles or news clips that come close to the “truth.” Followers come to their own conclusions. Q is gaining followers because it allows those who know there exists a real war between freedom and globalist advocates (the establishment) to have hope that we can possibly overcome the grip the globalists have on the U.S. and the world society. It effectively allows the masses inclusion in what is happening to them, thus a favorite Q phrase, “Where We Go One, We Go All.”
Why doesn’t Q openly say what is happening? He would be disclosing classified information and although Hillary Clinton, Jim Comey and John Brennan can do so without going to prison, no one else can. Why doesn’t Q identify himself? Because the establishment combination would destroy this outlet. Is Trump associated with Q? Yes, Q could not possibly reveal what Q reveals without a very close affiliation. A follower tweeted, “NO ONE cares who Q is. WE care about the TRUTH.” Another, “I like knowing what is going to happen before it does.”
The entire, loose movement has been called everything from “a deranged conspiracy cult” (The Washington Post) to cruel hoaxes, political extremism, and ridiculous claims. But these are from outlets that despise Trump. All globalist/establishment mediums are hostile to it.
Many on 4chan seemed to enjoy discussing the cryptic posts and the clues, causing Q to spread like wildfire. A YouTube video posted by “prayingmedic” on July 28, titled, “Something Big is About to Drop,” has 275,000 views.
Reddick, whose August Q following soared [page views 34,730,341 and visits 1,769,931] just banned any mention of Q. Twitter and other Internet providers are expected to follow. Followers, alerted a month ago to the President’s Emergency broadcast, infer that it is to keep open the president’s ability to inform Americans without the globalist news filter.
QAnon supporters refer to “The Storm” often, presumably the revelations disclosed in the intel documents ordered declassified by the Trump Administration, particularly the FISA documents still withheld in defiance by the Justice Department. “Red October,” another often cited phrase, is probably the expected voter “red wave” after the release of these documents and the accompanying civil disorder when arrests of formerly trusted and known participants follow. Q says, “PREPARE FOR ‘SKY IS FALLING’ WEEK.”
If 2018 ends without something big happening the Q following will decline, inversely it will increase exponentially. Whether it does or doesn’t it remains that many Americans do not believe that justice has been equally served and the documentation on the globalists seeking world government do not cease to exist just because they are not covered on globalist mediums.

By Harold Pease, Ph. D
The most vicious elections in our history were that of Jefferson in 1800, Lincoln in 1860, Lyndon Johnson in 1964, Ronald Reagan in 1980, but none of these were more contentious than that of Donald Trump in 2016 who was opposed by both political parties. “Never Trumpers” (mostly Republicans) did not resort to street riots but “Not my President” (mostly Democrats) did following his election in many cities throughout the land.
In 2016, Most Americans knew that something was wrong—really wrong. Independents, those refusing to align Democrat or Republican, were about 40%— stronger than either party. Most Americans felt lied to by both parties and the media. Most Republicans felt betrayed when they elected politicians to restore the Constitution and the economy and these same politicians appeared to join the other side as soon as they arrived in Washington D.C. Many had wondered the value of their vote outside “the lesser of two evils” philosophy.
Enter Donald Trump who mostly said what others were afraid to say, beginning with illegal immigration. Our Mexican friends have indeed invaded our country and taken, not just the jobs Americans did not want, but the ones they did want as well. They entered every field and their illegal children, being bilingual, are now favored in most other jobs. When politicians say they will build a fence to help preserve American jobs almost no one believed them. Trump was a builder, building magnificent structures, and was believed.
Simply put, the media, the establishment, and the political parties had lost their credibility. The more the establishment or media ganged-up on Trump the more his following grew. He even identified the establishment media as “fake news.” His bravado was somewhat refreshing from the Bush’s, Clinton’s, Boehner’s and McConnell’s “no real change” rhetoric.
The establishment opposition to Trump certified another factor in his favor. He was not one of them. He would not be controlled by them, as were his predecessors from both parties. Nor did any special interest group control him. This may have been the first time in 120 years that this was so. Only the Constitution should guide and restrain him—not the moneyed establishment.
Another factor in his favor, also not mentioned by the press, was that most Americans believed that the economy was on a crash course. No country can long endure when more money is spent than taken in. No candidate understood the economy better than Trump, having worked successfully with it for decades. He had the most incentive to get it back to a sound base more than any other candidate, or even you or I; we lose hundreds when it blows, he loses billions.
The Trump phenomenon was essentially a rebellion against the establishment by a population tired of being manipulated every four years into staying on the road to bankruptcy with the same failed internationalist foreign policy presented by establishment candidates of both parties.
The establishment media attempted to show candidate Donald Trump as, a joke—certainly not a serious candidate, not a real conservative, a flip-flopper on the issues, anti-women, anti-immigration, insulting to everyone, least likely to beat Hillary Clinton, only attractive to white males, and not in touch with reality and more.
What was very different from previous brutal elections where such rhetoric ended after the election, was that, for Trump, it never ended—indeed it amplified his first two years in the White House. Opponent sympathizers largely financed by CFR member George Sores, took to the streets before the inauguration with signs “Not my president” while Republican opponents joined the “Never Trump” movement.
The intelligence community with Obama Administration holdovers, now referred to as the Deep State, targeted a duly elected president with what is now known as the “Russia Hoax.” Finding no evidence of Russia/Trump collusion after a two year Special Council Mueller probe; all in an effort to impeach their hated president as a traitor. CFR member and Obama CIA Director, John Brennon had called Trump a traitor. This while completely ignoring, even covering up, a real Russian/Clinton collusion story and the Russian Uranium One deal giving Russia 20% of America’s uranium profiting the Clintons by millions. This, with the bleach-bitted 35,000 Hillary Clinton emails so attesting to this deal, many of which were classified documents sent over her unsecured server.
While the Deep State fabricated collusion was ongoing the establishment press worked at getting Trump Administration personnel to turn on their boss from within, through anonymous sources showing Trump unfit for office. They hoped to “prove” incompetence, and thus exercise the 25th Amendment to remove him from office. But the Trump staff held firm.
Excepting Lincoln, no president should fear an assassination attempt more than Trump and many still fear that end; he is so hated by the establishment. Why? Because For over a hundred years, since William McKinley they, with the help of the media that they came to largely own, have propelled into power politicians sympathetic to their globalist interests in both parties so that their interests got attention no matter which of their two political parties, Democrat or Republican, got elected. Control of foreign policy was never out of their hands. They want “their” White House back regardless of what they have to do to obtain it.

By Harold Pease, Ph. D
Most of the following words are not our own, although Liberty Under Fire has published extensively documenting the same the past decade. It is an address not covered by the establishment press. See why.
“Our movement is about replacing a failed and corrupt political establishment with a new government controlled by you, the American People. There is nothing the political establishment will not do, and no lie they will not tell, to hold on to their prestige and power at your expense.
The Washington establishment, and the financial and media corporations that fund it, exists for only one reason: to protect and enrich itself. The establishment has trillions of dollars at stake…. For those who control the levers of power in Washington, and for the global special interests they partner with, our campaign represents an existential threat….
This is a crossroads in the history of our civilization that will determine whether or not We The People reclaim control over our government. The political establishment that is trying everything to stop us, is the same group responsible for our disastrous trade deals, massive illegal immigration, and economic and foreign policies that have bled this country dry….
It’s a global power structure that is responsible for the economic decisions that have robbed our working class, stripped our country of its wealth, and put that money into the pockets of a handful of large corporations and political entities. Just look at what this corrupt establishment has done to our cities like Detroit and Flint, Michigan – and rural towns in Pennsylvania, Ohio, North Carolina and across our country. They have stripped these towns bare, and raided the wealth for themselves and taken away their jobs.
The Clinton Machine is at the center of this power structure. We’ve seen this firsthand in the WikiLeaks documents in which Hillary Clinton meets in secret with international banks to plot the destruction of U.S. sovereignty in order to enrich these global financial powers…..
Let’s be clear on one thing: the corporate media in our country is no longer involved in journalism. They are a political special interest, no different than any lobbyist or other financial entity with an agenda. …. For them, it is a war – and for them, nothing is out of bounds. This is a struggle for the survival of our nation ….
The establishment and their media enablers wield control over this nation through means that are well known. Anyone who challenges their control is deemed a sexist, a racist, a xenophobe and morally deformed. They will attack you, they will slander you, they will seek to destroy your career and reputation. And they will lie, lie and lie even more…..
Our great civilization, here in America and across the civilized world, has come upon a moment of reckoning….
But the central base of world political power is here in America, and it is our corrupt political establishment that is the greatest power behind the efforts at radical globalization and the disenfranchisement of working people. Their financial resources are unlimited. Their political resources are unlimited. Their media resources are unlimited. And, most importantly, the depths of their immorality is unlimited.
Our political establishment has no soul…. The only force strong enough to save this country is you. The only people brave enough to vote out this corrupt establishment is you, the American People. They control the Department of Justice…. [and] the Director of the FBI….
This is a conspiracy against you, the American people. This is our moment of reckoning as a society and as a civilization”
The above are the words of Presidential Candidate Donald Trump, October 16, 2016—the only candidate willing to take on the century old establishment. If these words are unfamiliar with some readers it is because their sources for information are establishment controlled—thus they are controlled. They are likely to be on the wrong side in the struggle to retain our liberty. Trump continues:
“I didn’t need to do this. I built a great company, and I had a wonderful life. I could have enjoyed the benefits of years of successful business for myself and my family, instead of going through this absolute horror show of lies, deceptions and malicious attacks. I’m doing it because this country has given me so much, and I feel strongly it was my turn to give back.
Some people warned me this campaign would be a journey to hell. But they are wrong, it will be a journey to heaven because we will help so many people.
In my former life, I was an insider as much as anybody else – and I know what’s like to be an insider. Now I am being punished for leaving their special club and revealing to you their great scam. Because I used to be part of the club, I’m the only one who can fix it. I’m doing this for the people….
We will remove from our politics the special interests who have betrayed our workers, our borders, our freedoms, and our sovereign rights as a nation. We will end the politics of profit, we will end the rule of special interests, we will put a stop to the raiding of our country – and the disenfranchisement of our people.
Our Independence Day is at hand….” (View full address at

By Harold Pease, Ph. D
Those of us who have taught international issues for decades have something to offer those who have not. Internationalism, new world order, world order, and globalism are synonyms for world government. Other terms such as inter-nationalism, multilateralism, politicization, integration, free trade, commonality, convergence, unification, harmonization, open borders, are often used in conjunction with these synonyms to make them more fashionable and acceptable.
When these terms become known for what they are they become unpopular because few want the United States to become reduced to a mere state in a world government. The Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights would be relegated to historical documents without any real basis in a government above our own, or even in our own, if not supported by the higher government.
Once understood as such, proponents simply change to a new synonym and continue their offense to elevate all significant decision making from local to national to international with, of course, themselves ultimately at the helm. For them Individualism and nationalism must be destroyed. Free enterprise and limited government are also likely fatalities. Those who wish to retain these treasured beliefs become the enemy.
Globalists operate on the theory that man is easily manipulated and can be managed to believe whatever he is fed, even to the point of calling slavery freedom and freedom slavery—even good is bad and bad good. Remember communist forces were called liberation armies. Few really think for themselves and those who do can be removed in other ways beginning with peer pressure and progressing to more violent ways if need be. Man will even choose to give up his liberty for the mere promise of a better future.
Lenin, Hitler, and Moa Tse Tung each preferred force to accomplish their form of world government. Globalists today, notably David Rockefeller (just deceased) and Henry Kissinger, know that these ends can be accomplished more slowly without force through the control of media and education. The rule is to always provide the appearance of opposing sides and free thought but control what people think about by access to information. Observe that the establishment news sources say nothing about regional government as it conquers nations without restraint or notice.
As words are used to deceive the masses in the transition to world government so are they also valuable weapons in the transition to regional government the preliminary step to world government. They begin with economic commonality and progress to political unity as was done in Europe. From the European Coal and Steel Community 1951, to the European Economic Community (Common Market) 1958, to the European Community 1993, to the European Union shortly thereafter until the original purpose, regional government, was fait accompli complete with a European Parliament 1979 and common currency, the euro, in 1992.
The unification of Europe as a single government, with each of 27 nations (Great Britain has recently voted to exit) losing their sovereignty as a separate independent nation, once so highly prized by each, something unobtainable by sword, or bombs whether by Napoleon, Hitler or Stalin, has been accomplished without a single shot being fired while the vast majority of citizens were lulled to sleep by mere words. Formerly millions lost their lives to defend their nation’s sovereignty. The globalist conquered Europe establishing regional government (the European Union) in less than 50 years and unless thwarted will conquer all nations in half that time again.
Other regional governments followed the EU. The USSR, after the fall of communism in 1989, transformed itself into the Commonwealth of Independent States Free Trade Area (CISFTA)—a regional government of nations still under the control of Russia. The world has since been divided into 22 other regional governments each following the European Union model and each at a different stage in the “politicization” of the countries in their regions and most still saddled by the necessity of using the deceptive “free trade” terminology. In time the plan is to reduce 206 countries to less than 20 regional governments turning these countries into mere states of regional countries—a much more manageable world for globalists.
Some of these perspective regional governments have progressed beyond the need to keep the “free trade” terminology, as for example, the African Economic Community (ANC) and the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA), both uniting large sections of Africa. The Council of Arab Economic Unity (CAEU) uniting norther Islamic Africa and the Middle East is another. South America is to be united by the Southern Cone Common Market, frequently referred to as Mercosur. It has progressed to the point that it now has a Joint Parliamentary Committee, which is a final step toward political unification.
But the described “word manipulation” giving the planet first regional governments then the eventual merging of these governments into world government under the United Nations, following the European model, continues mostly unabated. The North American Union essentially began with the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) negotiated by George H. W. Bush and signed into law in 1993 by Bill Clinton. Notice neither major political party opposed globalism; globalism is deeply embedded in both. Others call it the establishment or the deep state.

By Harold Pease Ph. D
The key component in the globalist bid for world government has been their transcending nation states into regional governments, ending national sovereignty, then later, these into a world government. North America must one day be a single country commonly referred to as the North American Union following the model they used for the European Union. Americans must be made to accept open borders.
Three decades ago I wrote a paper that outlined the process by which the European Union transcended first from the European Coal and Steel Community, to the European Economic Community, to the European Community, finally to the European Union. Never were the people told that the intended outcome—unification—was to slowly take away their sovereignty. The paper began with a call from General Dwight D. Eisenhower, a Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) member, for “The United States of Europe” (“An Early Champion of Unity,” U.S. News and World Report, Oct. 15, 1990, p. 65). I documented how the Marshall Plan money was handed out, not so much to prevent communism from making progress in Europe, as we had been told, but to consolidate Europe first economically then politically into a single country.
I did not publish the paper, it seemed out of reach for most Americans at the time. Imagine telling people that a group of wealthy Wall Street elites, through the use of taxpayer money, largely financed the consolidation of Europe into a single county and planned the same for North America with the unification, first economically then politically, of Canada, Mexico and the United States into a single country known as the North American Union, with a single currency called the “Amero” Dollar. Who would believe it until now?
I told my students 30 years ago that there would never be an effective deterrent to illegal immigration because the CFR, from which all Secretaries of State, U.N. Ambassadors, Russian and Chinese Ambassadors, and a third of all Presidential Cabinets prior to 2016 were drawn, is the nation’s leading advocate for globalism. They are clearly for open borders and trans-national agreements. No major television, radio, or national newspaper outlet yet identifies them by name; nevertheless these mediums know it.
Extending amnesty in the Immigration Act of 1965 did not work because we did not seal the border. Instead it encouraged more to come. When offered again by President Ronald Reagan in the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, with the promise that we would never need it again, I warned that despite the promise to finally end illegal immigration we would repeat this the next generation. And we have. I make the same promise thirty years from now. Those that have undue influence upon both the Democratic and Republican parties—the globalist’s CFR—have no intention of actually sealing the border; thus their resisting President Trump’s efforts to do so.
Centuries ago China built the Great Wall to keep barbarians out without bulldozers, giant trucks, cranes or any other heavy lifting and earth moving technologies that we have today. Globalist want regional government and a wall inhibits this.
The truth is that the CFR wants a generation or two of illegal immigration to help Mexico gain some measure of economic parity with Canada and the United States before assimilation can be a reality. Illegals tend to send money home and often retire in Mexico. The CFR 2005 publication, “Building a North American Community,” outlined “the groundwork for the freer flow of people within North America.” They seek “cross-border traffic, travel, and trade within North America.” The featured article in the January/February 2004 issue of Foreign Affairs, the Council’s principle publication, has author Jerome Corsi identifying NAFTA, the North America Free Trade Agreement, as being ”the first draft of an economic constitution for North America.”
This best explains the semi-secret meeting of George W. Bush in the somewhat obscure location of Waco, Texas, on March 23, 2005, with Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin and Mexican President Vincente Fox to formulate the “Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America,” popularly referred to as SPP. Two years later in Montebello, Quebec, Mexican President Felipe Calderon and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper again came together with U.S. President George W. Bush. In that meeting For News reporter Bret Baier asked each, “Can you say today that this is not a prelude to a North American Union, similar to a European Union?” None denied it (“Permanent Amnesty, Temporary Border,” The New American, April 22, 2013, p.15).
The very controversial Bush planned Super Highway running through the mid-west, allowing unrestricted use by both neighbors could not then get liftoff, but succeeding president Barack Obama did support open borders, most notably by executive order essentially refusing to deport children of those illegally entering the U.S. and trans-national agreements, notably the Trans Pacific Partnership, both of which undermine national sovereignty and strengthen regional governance.
The CFR plan is to make illegal immigration legal remains in place as a major component of its larger plan to consolidate the three counties of North America and perhaps Central America into The North American Union. A physical wall is the best evidence of our remaining a sovereign country. Sadly the 2018 federal budget denied border wall funding. So far globalists remain in place to prevent a “real” wall ever becoming a reality.

Aug 27, 2018 | Constitution, Globalism, Liberty Articles
By Harold Pease, Ph. D
The world’s global power brokers—each by invitation only—met again June 7-10, as they have sixty-six times before in their annual Bilderberg assemblages since their birth in 1954. This time they met in Turin, Italy. This is the most exclusive globalist group in Western Europe and North America and said to be the power brokers of the West. Their primary objective is world government—the end of national sovereignty. President Donald J. Trump was not invited.
At these meetings no minutes are taken and no opening or closing press releases made. Participants may use the information received but may not disclose the identify or affiliations of the speakers or any other participant. Only a few trusted media mongrels are allowed, such as Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal, making it even more amazing the “establishment” press, which supports world government by failing to report the half-century attack of this secret society on national sovereignty, does not cover it. Their press is controlled.
Still, there exists some local news coverage of the Bilderberg annual events. All coverage is consistent in that such meetings are held, are highly secretive, have huge police protection, and attendees are seen as the “power brokers” of Europe and North America.
The Bilderberg website listed the topics of discussion for 2018 but they seem purposely vague. The first six of the twelve for this year were: Populism in Europe, The inequality challenge, The future of work, Artificial intelligence, The US before midterms, and Free trade. The second six: US world leadership, Russia, Quantum computing, Saudi Arabia and Iran, The “post-truth” world, and Current Events. Why would the elite gather for such nondescript discussions if they were not far more detailed and had no real purpose?
In their 2016 meeting in Dresden, Germany rumor had it that lead topics included blocking Donald Trump’s election in the United States, retaining Great Britain in the European Union, and pushing the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). Each of these was a prominent globalist objective (“Bilderberg Seen Through the Looking Glass,” Strategic Culture Foundation, Pepe Escobar). None materialized. Trump is not under their influence, as were his predecessors, and Great Britain voted to exit their European Union.
No doubt stopping President Trump’s efforts to undermine or destroy their world government objectives was the underlining topic behind all the discussion topics. His withdrawing the U.S. from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), the United Nations Paris Agreement on climate, and the UN Educational, Cultural, and Scientific Organization (UNECSO) made him their mortal enemy. Every globalist in the world and in the United States, Democrat or Republican, is against him. But for freedom lovers he has become their only hope in breaking the secret combination’s “choke-hold” on the planet. For both sides, those for keeping our Declaration of Independence and Constitution in tact, and those for eventual world government by the elite of the planet, this is total war.
Past meeting attendees included politicians, top business executives, bankers and often some academics, royalty and, more recently, technology gurus. This year the invited guests list was 131 of these people. The most famous U.S. attendees of the past have included: Henry Kissinger (who attends annually), David Rockefeller, Bill Gates, Hillary and Bill Clinton, John Kerry, David Petraeus, Chuck Hagel, Paul Volcker, George Stephanopoulos, Timothy Geithner, Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, Gerald Ford and Lindsey Graham.
There are attendees who do not wish to be named because of the Logan Act (18 U.S. Code 953) that makes it “a crime for a citizen to confer with foreign governments against the interests of the United States without authorization.”
Security is intense with so many prominent people present. Security costs approached $2 million in 2013 for the Bilderberg meeting in Great Britain, not including the costs of a no-fly zone protection. No cost figures were given for this year. This is no little meeting!!!
What do they do there? David Rockefeller, a Bilderberger, founder of the Trilateral Commission, and past president emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations (the three leading world government organizations), told a Bilderberg conference in Germany in 1991, “We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time magazine, and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright light of publicity during these years. But the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government” (Bilderberg: Brexit, Borders, Banksters—and Billary,” New American, July 4, 2016).
No wonder critics see the Bilderberg meetings as a shadow world government and a bid for total control of everyone on earth. World leaders attend and they talk about government issues. The organization establishes the issues and builds consensus toward their conclusion and they do all this in secret.
So why do any prominent high profile U.S. citizens attend these secret combination meetings? And why does the establishment press ignore it and protect attendees? It is time attendees answer these questions beginning with Hillary Clinton and Lindsey Graham. Some of us are happy Trump wasn’t invited.
