How powerful are Presidents?It is true that a U.S. President has power, but let him overstep the path he is to follow, andthose who have put him in power will tighten the screws, with bad press, or if neccessary thefinal solution, asassination. That is what happened to John Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln. Thosetwo men ticked off practically everyone in the System. The Jesuits, the Industrialists, the Masons,in Kennedy's case one can add to the list the CIA, the FBI, and the Mafia. 1To avoid such drastic steps, key men are in government positions to insure that the Presidentreceives the slant to the news that will allow the President to see the right path. The Council onForiegn Relations regularly determined at secret meetings high level CIA policy. The CIA in turnis capable of presenting their secret briefings to the President to almost insure that he sees theirslant to things. 2The foundations are one conduit of control. They create and implement government policiesthrough their staff people which are salted throughout the U.S. government. 3That the New World Order must use the CIA, FBI, and the Foundations shows that it has towork secretly. As a cover for their secret invisible government, they run carefully screenedhandpicked men in expensive democratic elections. This allows the populace to continuebelieving what they want to believe. Most people want to believe they are superior to others, andour "democratic" system allows Americans to be proud. That the One-World-Power pays forthese expensive charades, shows how important secrecy is. The success of Big Brother in 1984was exactly the type of control that they have been successfully using—double speak, hatepolitics, divide and control, rewritten history, etc.These same tactics are being used powerfully on the religious scene.FORGOTTEN HISTORYYears ago, this Author came upon several areas of religion that are examples of history beinglost. This Author is very devoted to the Holy Bible and its age old wisdom. It was clear fromthe Scriptures in both the Old and the New Testament that taking Interest, any interest, wascontrary to scripture. I discovered that interest taking had been forbidden by most Christians untilthe 19th century. The New Order has erased our memory of that issue, and for a good reason,that is one of their principle methods of robbery and control. (Because this is one of their primaryweapons, and it is also a religious issue— chapter 3.02 will deal with just the issue of interesttaking.)FORMULA FOR POWERThe close interweaving of Gnostic thought into the Masonic stream is important in terms ofunderstanding how power is created. The principle "knowledge is power" is skillfully used byMasonic religions. For instance, the WT May 1, 1922, p. 132 states C.T. Russell is the onlysource of knowledge about the divine plan of God. "Then to repudiate him and his work isequivalent to a repudiation of the Lord..." Joseph Smith, Jr. and the "Bhagwan Shree" Rajneesh,and so many others, by virtue of their claims to special knowledge have created an automaticpower base. One has to come to them for knowledge.KNOWLEDGE IS POWER, ESPECIALLY IF ONE CONTROLS WHO THE EXPERTS ARELikewise, the Order along with Masons in so many of the key positions have determined whoour experts are in the various fields. Look who gets Rhodes Scholarships. Look who getprominent academic positions. Look who gets their books published. Their people are often
