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

Our Republican Form of Government: Section 58 — Reading the Constitutions Correctly from Anna Von Reitz

 

Section 58 — Reading the Constitutions Correctly
Most Americans have been taught to revere the Constitutions. Generations of military and civil service workers have been indoctrinated to “defend the Constitution (whichever one they work under) from all Enemies foreign and domestic.” Many Americans mistakenly think that their rights come from the Constitutions, but in fact, the Constitutions merely limit the federal government so that the people can enjoy their freedoms unencumbered by government.
Most Americans don’t know that there are three (3) Constitutions — the actual Federal Constitution
called “The Constitution for the united States of America”, the Territorial Constitution called “The Constitution of the United States of America” and the Municipal Constitution called “The Constitution of the United States”.
Many people also assume that everyone in this country is protected under the Constitutions, but this has never been so. Territorial Citizens known as United States Citizens, and Municipal United States Citizens known as Citizens of the United States have never enjoyed any constitutional guarantees. That’s why when you are acting as a “United States Citizen” or “Citizen of the United States” you are told that the Constitution doesn’t apply. It doesn’t. And that’s just one reason that “US Citizenship” is not a prized status.
Another wrong assumption is that the Constitutions are so “special” and “sacred”, when in fact, they are just commercial services agreements mandated as part of the settlement of the War of Independence. If you read The Definitive Treaty of Peace (1783) you will see that exactly the same verbiage is used in the Constitutions.
When you see the words as in Article 1, Section 2, Clause 2: “No Person (Legal Person/ Municipal Officer — not acting as one of the People)...“Citizen of the United States” (Federal Civil Service Employee)...an inhabitant (temporary foreign resident) of that State...” this is all language directly

Trump’s Dismantling of Hamilton’s Debt-Based Financial System That Has Bankrupted America Is Now Underway

 

Trump’s Dismantling of Hamilton’s Debt-Based Financial System That Has Bankrupted America Is Now Underway

Much yet to do to make it work

By Richard C. Cook

Global Research, April 08, 2025

Region: USA

Theme: Global Economy

What is the new tariff regime being implemented by the Trump administration really about? It’s actually a complete reset of the financial system created by Alexander Hamilton 236 years ago consisting of massive permanent government deficits to finance a globalist military empire by borrowing from the rich and taxing the poor.

This is what I wrote about two days ago here on the Three Sages substack in an article entitled Trump’s Tariffs: Alexander Hamilton’s catastrophic US financial system comes home to roost. Don’t let all the hot air deceive you.

Now, stock market prices worldwide are “crashing.” This is the natural and expected result of the gigantic equity bubble that has been run up by big globalist finance over the last five years since the Biden administration went all-in with BlackRock, etc., and their global counterparts in massive deficit spending for war in Ukraine and the Middle East, along with the high Federal Reserve interest rates that benefit only rich investors.

The Trump plan is to rebuild Main Street. While he is raising tariffs, he is also pressuring the Fed to cut rates. So the big investors are in a panic. And because Wall Street has been able to deceive working people into putting their retirement savings into the stock market, they are trying to get everyone else to panic too as yet another of their mighty bubbles bursts.

But for Trump to succeed, several steps are needed besides lower interest rates. One is the promised tax cuts, especially the cuts on tips, overtime, and Social Security that will help those who need more cash in their pockets right now. Another is continued reductions of gas and grocery prices. But another is to follow through on making peace with Russia over Ukraine and with Iran in the Middle East. It’s long past time for Israel to back off. These wars have to stop now, and the big weapons manufacturers who cheer-lead these wars have to rejoin civil society.

Are Trump's Advisors Lying to Him About Iran??

I have repeatedly argued that launching an attack against Iran would result in a catastrophic defeat for the US military. I believe this for many reasons, foremost among them my long-held conviction that the aircraft carrier is an obsolete relic of a bygone era that will not survive a war against a peer or near-peer adversary…. it just so happens that the largest and most expensive war-game exercise in Pentagon history tested the thesis back in 2002. It was a massive battle simulation code-named Millennium Challenge. The Pentagon spent a whopping 250 million dollars setting the whole thing up, and it consisted primarily of a carrier strike group escorting a large amphibious landing force into the Persian Gulf….

the naval task force had transited the Strait of Hormuz, and then he launched salvos of land-based ballistic missiles, anti-ship missiles launched from low-flying planes and helicopters, and swarms of elusive “fast boats” against the flotilla of ships. This attack entirely overwhelmed the defense capabilities of the fleet, and in a matter of mere minutes, all nineteen ships in the task force had been sunk, along with their entire complement of 20,000 sailors and marines.

It was a total catastrophe – not to mention a shocking humiliation for Pentagon planners… The problem is that, while the US military is substantially weakened since its high-water mark of dominance in 2002, the Iranians are significantly more formidable in every category….

I’d like to think the desk jockeys at the Pentagon “learned their lesson”, but I’m confident they did not. And if the US attempts to make war against Iran at this late stage of the empire’s denouement, I expect the real-life results to be at least as disastrous as they were in simulation over twenty years ago.

President Trump was elected in part because he promised to reduce prices and not drag the country into foreign wars.

Despite criticizing President Biden for bombing Yemen, President Trump has authorized bombing that country under the false pretense that Yemen’s Houthis are threatening international shipping. President Trump has also threatened to bomb Iran. A false justification for this threat is that Iran is controlling the Houthis. If President Trump follows through on this threat against Iran, it could lead to another “forever war.” He has also continued US support for Israel and Ukraine’s wars.

President Trump started a trade war by imposing a ten percent universal tariff on imported products and other tariff expansions. Chinese imports will face a tariff of 54 percent, while goods imported from the European Union will “only” be assessed a 20 percent tariff.

The day following President Trump’s tariffs announcement, US stocks lost 3.1 trillion dollars in value, while the dollar fell to its weakest level since October.

China responded to the tariffs by imposing a 34 percent tariff on US imports along with other measures increasing the costs of US products in China. Canada imposed a 25 percent tariff on cars imported from the US.

The EU’s Military-Industrial Plans Could Accelerate the US’ Disengagement From NATO

Interoperability issues could make the US think twice about intervening in the EU’s support against Russia.

“Trump Is Unlikely To Pull All US Troops Out Of Central Europe Or Abandon NATO’s Article 5”, but he’s definitely “Pivoting (back) to Asia” in order to more muscularly contain China, which will have consequences for European security. Although Russia has no intent to attack NATO countries, many of these same countries sincerely fear that it does, which leads to them formulating policy appropriately. This (false) threat perception heightens their concerns about the US’ gradual disengagement from NATO.  The Self-Directed IRA ... Sorensen, Mat Best Price: $8.19 Buy New $15.00 (as of 01:36 UTC - Details)

To make matters worse, Reuters cited five unnamed sources to report that the US chided the EU for its military-industrial plans, particularly those which relate to production and procurement within the bloc. They’re presumably connected to European Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen’s “ReArm Europe Plan” that calls for members to boost defense spending by 1.5% on average for a collective €650 billion more in the next four years and provide €150 billion worth of loans for defense investments.

This bold program will strengthen the EU’s strategic autonomy but will likely come at the cost of accelerating the US’ disengagement from NATO. EU-produced equipment might not be interoperable with American equipment, which could complicate contingency planning. The bloc wants the US to intervene in the event of a military crisis with Russia, yet the US might think twice if its commanders can’t easily take control of European forces in that event.

ChatGPT Saves the World

Todd Hayen

Oh my, what, me worry? What do any of us have to worry about? The world is on the brink of destruction, we may be entering WW 3 at any moment, the economy is collapsing with Evil Orange Man tariffs, the Evil KGB Man in Russia (aka Soviet Union) is about to invade Europe because he and Orange Man are ensconced in a supernatural bro-love relationship.

Zelenskyy is the new hero of the world for taking on the Orange Man in debate, with his eye-rolls and bitch-shaming body language. We are doomed!

No! Call in ChatGPT to set it all straight for us! He/She/It knows the answers! She/It/He can answer any question we put to it! Just like God used to do for us, ChatGPT can now do! All knowing, all wisdom, all perfection! Problem solved!!

Although I am certain all this has faded into the blurry and diaphanous past by now, at the time, it was a common sight on social media to see people singing the praises of ChatGPT and its take on the Zelenskyy/Trump/Vance debacle, which is now ancient history. Excitable comments like, “They ran the whole thing through ChatGPT, and it unequivocally said Trump was an incorrigible bully and Zelenskyy was a consummate hero!!” It was as if someone had conjured up Jesus himself to hear his take on the debate. How lovely.

First of all, I seriously doubt if the entire interview was input into the great AI Oracle. And even if it was, it would have only been a transcription, devoid of any visual cues to include in the analysis—the body language between all parties would be quite important in achieving any sort of reliable results. The tone of voice would have an impact as well in determining some pretty key elements in the demeanour of the participants. And who in hell trusts computer AI to make assessments of human behaviour and character? I sure as hell would not. What a complete piece of crap idea.

False Premises

 

    The religious purpose of modern schooling was announced clearly by the legendary  University of Wisconsin sociologist Edward A. Ross in 1901 in his famous book, Social  Control. Your librarian should be able to locate a copy for you without much trouble. In  it Ed Ross wrote these words for his prominent following: "Plans are underway to replace  community, family, and church with propaganda, education, and mass media.... the State  shakes loose from Church, reaches out to School.... People are only little plastic lumps of  human dough." Social Control revolutionized the discipline of sociology and had  powerful effects on the other human sciences: in social science it guided the direction of  political science, economics, and psychology; in biology it influenced genetics, eugenics,  and psychobiology. It played a critical role in the conception and design of molecular  biology.  

 

     There you have it in a nutshell. The whole problem with modern schooling. It rests on a  nest of false premises. People are not little plastic lumps of dough. They are not blank  tablets as John Locke said they were, they are not machines as de La Mettrie hoped, not  vegetables as Friedrich Froebel, inventor of kindergartens, hypothesized, not organic  mechanisms as Wilhelm Wundt taught every psychology department in America at the     turn of the century, nor are they repertoires of behaviors as Watson and Skinner wanted.  They are not, as the new crop of systems thinkers would have it, mystically harmonious  microsystems interlocking with grand macrosystems in a dance of atomic forces. I don't  want to be crazy about this; locked in a lecture hall or a bull session there's probably no  more harm in these theories than reading too many Italian sonnets all at one sitting. But  when each of these suppositions is sprung free to serve as a foundation for school  experiments, it leads to frightfully oppressive practices.

How Peter Marks' role in the COVID vaccine debacle exposed the flaws in America's toxic health bureaucracy A Midwestern Doctor Apr 3   READ IN APP   A frequent criticism of corporations (which I believe also applies to governmental bureaucracies) is that their organizational structure encourages sociopathic behavior. This is because members of these entities are shielded from legal or personal accountability for their actions, with any wrongdoings being attributed to the corporation as a whole. In contrast, the main form of accountability most members face is the pressure to advance the institution’s mission (e.g., make more money), leading to the proliferation of increasingly unethical methods to achieve that goal. To illustrate, consider this quote from Peter Rost, a former executive at Pfizer and one of the few pharmaceutical leaders to speak out against the industry: It is scary how many similarities there are between this industry and the mob. The mob makes obscene amounts of money, as does this industry. The side effects of organized crime are killings and deaths, and the side effects are the same in this industry. The mob bribes politicians and others, and so does the drug industry … The difference is, all these people in the drug industry look upon themselves – well, I’d say 99 percent, anyway – look upon themselves as law-abiding citizens, not as citizens who would ever rob a bank … However, when they get together as a group and manage these corporations, something seems to happen … to otherwise good citizens when they are part of a corporation. It’s almost like when you have war atrocities; people do things they don’t think they’re capable of. When you’re in a group, people can do things they otherwise wouldn’t, because the group can validate what you’re doing as okay. In looking through what went awry with the COVID-19 response, while Fauci was commonly blamed for all that went amiss, I kept running into another less-known individual who, while hidden within the FDA bureaucracy, I believe was directly responsible for many of the mishaps that happened

Sharon and the other Israeli leaders aspire to fulfil what the goals of the political Zionist movement have been since its origin a century ago: to turn all of historic Palestine into an exclusively Jewish state. A central tenet of the Zionist ideology is expressed in the racist slogan, "A land without people for a people without a land." (38) The implication of Palestinians in the 9/11 attacks would have handed Zionists a golden opportunity to achieve the above because all Palestinians would have been labelled terrorists.                      "Evidence linking these Israelis to 9/11 is classified.

Unlocking Your Gut's Power to Control Blood Sugar

Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola

• April 03, 2025

Story at-a-glance

• Type 2 diabetes affects 10.5% of adults globally, projected to rise to 12.2% by 2045, with 90% of cases being Type 2 diabetes
• A study revealed that gut microbiome responses to high- and low-carbohydrate diets influence blood sugar and metabolic health
• Dysbiosis in the gut microbiome is linked to Type 2 diabetes, affecting carbohydrate metabolism, fat storage, inflammation and glycemic control
• Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) from gut bacteria reduce inflammation and enhance insulin sensitivity, playing a key role in preventing diabetes and metabolic imbalances
• Optimizing gut health through mitochondrial support, healthy carbohydrates and targeted supplementation like Akkermansia muciniphila improves glycemic control and overall metabolic function

Type 2 diabetes is a chronic and progressive cardiometabolic disorder characterized by insulin resistance and impaired blood glucose regulation. Common symptoms include increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, and blurred vision. Over time, unmanaged Type 2 diabetes leads to severe health complications such as heart disease, kidney failure, and neuropathy.
