“The conscious and
intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the
masses is an important element in democratic society. Those
who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible
government which is the true ruling power of our country. We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of.” – Edward Bernays (“the father of public relations”), Propaganda, 1928 (note that Bernays’ book, Propaganda, begins with the above quote).
If you told somebody 10 years ago that
there existed some sort of secret group or “secret government” pulling
the strings behind the scenes of government policy, international law,
various global rules/regulations, and more, they would have called you a
“conspiracy theorist.” Today things have changed, largely as a result
of information leaked by Edward Snowden, Julian Assange, and various
other whistleblowers and activists in recent years. Their
bravery has shed light on the world of secrecy that’s been blinding the
masses since its inception.
I’ve mentioned this before, and I’ll
mention it again, did you know that the U.S. Government classifies more
than 500 million pages of documents each year? Did you know that the
United States has a history of government agencies existing in secret?
For example, the National Security Agency (NSA) was founded in 1952, but
its existence was hidden until the mid 1960’s. Even more secretive is
the National Reconnaissance Office, it was founded in 1960 but remained
completely secret for 30 years. Then we have the entire black budget
world, a world dominated by secrecy that was officially revealed by
Edward Snowden a couple of years ago. This deals with what are known as
“Special Access Programs.”
It’s not just statements that these “high-level” people are making. It’s all of the proof and evidence that goes along with it.

Canadian Defence Minister Paul Hellyer
Former Minister of National Defence,
Paul Hellyer, is one of Canada’s best known and most controversial
politicians. He was first elected in 1949, and was the youngest cabinet
minister appointed to Louis S. St. Laurent’s government eight years
later. He held senior posts in the governments of Lester B. Pearson and
Pierre E. Trudeau. He achieved the rank of senior master (Deputy Prime
Minister), and went on to become the Canadian Defence Minister. He is
best known for the unification of the Canadian Armed Forces, and in
September 2005 he became the first person of cabinet rank in the G8
group of countries to state unequivocally that “UFOs are as real as the
airplanes flying overhead.”
Here’s what he had to say about the world of secrecy:
It is ironic
that the U.S. would begin a devastating war, allegedly in search of
weapons of mass destruction, when the most worrisome developments in
this field are occurring in your own backyard. It is ironic that the
U.S. should be fighting monstrously expensive wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan, allegedly to bring democracy to those countries, when it
itself can no longer claim to be called a democracy, when trillions, and
I mean thousands of billions of dollars have been spent on projects
about which both the Congress and the Commander in Chief have been kept
deliberately in the dark. (source)
The 28th U.S. President Woodrow Wilson
Woodrow Wilson, an American academic,
politician, and the 28th president of the United States, had this to say
(among other things) in his book The New Freedom. The book also contains several other, similarly eye-opening statements:
Since I entered
politics, I have chiefly had men’s views confided to me privately. Some
of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and
manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know
that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so
interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak
above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it. (source)
The 35th U.S. President John F. Kennedy
Here’s what JFK had to say in one of his most famous speeches:
The very
word “secrecy” is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a
people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to
secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the
dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far
outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, there
is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating
its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in
insuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive
with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for
increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its
meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment. That I
do not intend to permit to the extent that it is in my control. …
For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless
conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its
sphere of influence–on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion
instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on
guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has
conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a
tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military,
diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political
operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes
are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No
expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed. (source)
John C. Calhoun, 7th Vice President of The United States
John C. Calhoun was the 7th Vice
President of the United States, from 1825-1832. He was also a political
theorist during the first half of the 19th century.
Here’s what he had to say:
A power has
risen up in the government greater than the people themselves,
consisting of many, and various, and powerful interests, combined into
one mass, and held together by the cohesive power of the vast surplus in
the banks. (source)
This quote reminds me of a great clip from the Thrive
documentary by Foster Gamble, heir to the Proctor Gamble corporation.
He was groomed for the establishment, but chose a different path.
New York City Mayor John F. Hylan
John F. Hylan was Mayor of New York City from 1918-1925. He has been famously quoted as saying:
The real
menace of our Republic is the invisible government, which like a giant
octopus sprawls its slimy legs over our cities, states and nation … The
little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually run the
United States government for their own selfish purposes. They
practically control both parties … [and] control the majority of the
newspapers and magazines in this country. They use the columns of these
papers to club into submission or drive out of office public officials
who refuse to do the bidding of the powerful corrupt cliques which
compose the invisible government. It operates under cover of a
self-created screen [and] seizes our executive officers, legislative
bodies, schools, courts, newspapers and every agency created for the
public protection. (source)(source)
Senator William Jenner
A United States senator who said this to Congress in 1954:
Today the
path to total dictatorship in the U.S. can be laid by strictly legal
means … We have a well-organized political-action group in this country,
determined to destroy our Constitution and establish a one-party state …
It operates secretly, silently, continuously to transform our
Government … This ruthless power-seeking elite is a disease of our
century… This group … is answerable neither to the President, the
Congress, nor the courts. It is practically irremovable. (source)
Senator Daniel K. Inouye
Inouye was the highest ranking
Asian-American politician in United States history, serving the
democratic party from 1963 until his death in 2012.
There exists
a shadowy government with its own Air Force, its own Navy, its own
fundraising mechanism, and the ability to pursue its own ideas of the
national interest, free from all checks and balances, and free from the
law itself. (source)
34th U.S. President And 5 Star General, Dwight Eisenhower
In his farewell address to the nation, president Eisenhower offered these words of caution:
In the
councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition
of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military
industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced
power exists, and will persist. … Only an alert and knowledgeable
citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and
military machinery of defence with our peaceful message and goals. (source)
This speech is relevant to share here,
because the disastrous rise of misplaced power within the military
industrial complex has indeed occurred…
Benjamin Disraeli, First British MP
The world is governed by very different personages to what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes. (Coningsby, Book 4, Chap. 15.) – Page 131
26th U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt
President Roosevelt revealed this information:
Behind the
ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no
allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. (source)
