Act like your life depends on good information. Because it does.
Refuse to co-operate with your own enslavement - question EVERYTHING!!

My ‘WTF’ list
The Globalists ‘agenda’ – a long time coming …
> The Day Tapes. 1969.
Fact or fiction? Frightening predictions, privately revealed in 1969 to a meeting of doctors, of the coming and ‘unstoppable’ changes to our political, economic, legal, and social systems. Recollections of this 1969 meeting, audio-taped / transcribed in 1988 and 1991 –
The New Order of Barbarians – The New World System. U.S. Colation for Life.
The New Order of Barbarians – audiotopes 1, 2, and 3. YouTube.
> The Toronto Protocols. 1967 and 1985.
Fact or fiction? Leaders of the world’s 6 largest banks, agri-food industries, and pharmaceutical consortiums met in Toronto, Canada in 1967 and 1985 to define a strategy for global control. Notes from these two private meetings, prepared by Serge Monast in 1995 –
The Toronto Protocols (6.6.6.) – English translation / original French.
The Toronto Protocols – English translation only.
> Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars. 1954.
Fact or fiction? A frightening document, a training manual for programming individuals and societies, claimed to have been found ‘by accident’ in July 1986. It describes processes for controlling populations throughout covert manipulation of industry, peoples’ pastimes, education, and political leanings.
It called for a quiet unseen revolution that would confuse and distract from the ‘real’ revolution.
> Report of the Project for the New American Century. Sept 2000.
Fact. Mere months before ‘9/11’, this influential US report called for ‘a catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor‘ to facilitate and expand America’s global military power.
Rebuilding America’s Defenses: Strategy, Forces and Resources for a New Century.
> The Kissinger Report. December 1974.
Fact. In this ‘top-secret’ US government policy paper, 13 less-developed countries were targeted for aggressive depopulation efforts to ensure continued U.S. access to critical mineral resources.

> The First Global Revolution. 1991.
Fact. This Club of Rome report claimed the world was “a massive and untidy mix” of interrelated crises and difficulties – “the real enemy, then, is humanity itself”. The authors came up with the idea (see p.115) that pollution and a manufactured “threat of global warming” could be used to push the world toward their goals of global control.
