Tragedy and Hope 101 The Illusion of Justice, Freedom, and Democracy Joseph Plummer: Chapter Ten: Final Thoughts

 

Chapter Ten: Final Thoughts

In May 2012 I began sorting through and organizing the reference material for this book. After a couple months of narrowing my choices, I came to a reasonably depressing conclusion: there was absolutely no way I could adequately condense Quigley’s work into just a couple hundred pages, let alone condense the Network- coordinated depravity exposed in the dozens of other excellent books1 that I wanted to cover.

By August 2012, it looked like a bomb had gone off in our house; notes and books were strewn everywhere, and counted among the scraps of paper were countless abandoned outlines. With no idea where to begin, and facing thousands of hours of additional work, I nearly put everything away. I’d convinced myself that my best effort would only come up short, so why bother? Ironically, one of the many topics that I knew I couldn’t adequately cover, summarized in a couple sentences that I’d scribbled on a piece of paper, started moving me (psychologically) back in the right direction:

How many of us do nothing because we feel that we cannot do enough?

How much “more than enough” could be done if all of us simply did something?

These two sentences led me to reevaluate the reason for writing this book. So what if I couldn’t “adequately” summarize all of the material that I wanted to cover? Even an inadequate summary

1 See the “recommended-reading” list on the last page

would be better than no summary at all. And was this really about writing a condensed version of a thirteen-hundred-page history book, or was it more about protecting myself and others from men who

believe “there is no moral dimension...what is successful is right”? Clearly it was the latter, and this is what ultimately drove me to continue: a burning desire to expose and weaken the criminal ruling class.

At this point, I can only hope that you share my desire and that you feel the information you’ve read here is useful. If so, I would ask that you please tell people about the free online version of this book available at TragedyAndHope.INFO, or if you have a hard copy, share it with friends and family. Take a few minutes and leave a short review at Amazon.com and other websites, or simply recommend the book on message boards if the topic is a good match. Never underestimate the impact you can have each time that you do something.

On my end, I will be creating a “bonus material” section at the TragedyAndHope.INFO website. This will enable me to post my page-reference notes for Tragedy and Hope, as well as my notes for The Anglo-American Establishment, Diplomacy, NATO’s Secret Armies, and some of the other books listed on the following page. These page-reference notes will help you quickly find interesting reference material within each book.

I will also provide links to excellent articles like “The Horrifying American Roots of Nazi Eugenics” available here http://hnn.us/article/1796 . From there I can post related information, like how the government (following a 1974 policy report directed by Henry Kissinger) implemented a secret twenty- five-year plan to reduce global fertility,2 or how the Network, in cooperation with the “government,” created genetically modified corn that was designed to sterilize those who ate it and a “tetanus” vaccine designed to sterilize those who received the shot.3

Seeds of Destruction, pages 270–275. Spermicidal corn: In September 2001 Epicyte reported that they had successfully created the ultimate GMO crop— contraceptive corn. On October 6, 2002, CBS News reported that the United States Department of

These and other topics were too much to squeeze between the covers of this book. Therefore, the bonus-material section will provide interested readers an opportunity to dig deeper into the Network’s long list of unpunished crimes. And on that note, if you’re ready to start digging now, here are just a handful of books that address the Network’s illegitimate power in one way or another. Many of them are available for free online. I’ve listed them by page count from shortest to longest.

Agriculture had financed thirty-two field trials including Epicyte’s spermicidal corn. What was not revealed was that the USDA was also providing the field trial results to scientists at the US Department of Defense through one of their biological research laboratories. At the time of their brief public announcement, which they presented as a contribution to the world’s “overpopulation” problem, Epicyte estimated its spermicidal corn would be available in 2006 or 2007. After the press release, discussion of the breakthrough vanished. Nothing more was heard in any media about the development. Antifertility vaccines: The folks at the Rockefeller Foundation, in cooperation with World Health Organization researchers, sought to develop a double-whammy vaccine. In the early 1990s, according to a report from the Global Vaccine Institute, the World Health Organization oversaw massive vaccination campaigns against tetanus in Nicaragua, Mexico, and the Philippines. Numerous vials of the vaccine, tested under suspicion, were found to contain hCG, which, when combined with a tetanus toxoid carrier, renders women incapable of maintaining a pregnancy. Also, rather curiously, this vaccination campaign against “tetanus” was directed only at women of child- bearing ages between fifteen and forty-five. (The men and boys apparently didn’t need tetanus protection.) “Pro Vida dug further and learned that the Rockefeller Foundation...the World Bank, the UN Development Program and the Ford Foundation, and others had been working with the World Health Organization for 20 years to develop an anti-fertility vaccine using hCG with tetanus as well as other vaccines.” None of the women who received the hCG-laced vaccines were told of the vaccine’s abortive properties or its long-term effect on their ability to have children.
