What if I were to prove that Beck and Alex are right?
Yep, there is a New World Order Plot. But there's a twist. Beck and Alex have it wrong on purpose, to fool you. And to make you discount reality.
Do you want the real story?
It's bizarre, makes Orwell's stuff seem like Little House on the Prairie, and might be coming to a theater near you soon. Can reality suck too much to cope with? Only if we ignore it.
Churchill once said: Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened
Or is it better to keep tip toeing through the tulips like Bambi:
Godzilla respecteth no deer, let alone cockroaches like you and me.
Hell, Gozilla is the cute Progressive Geico Gekko compared to these guys:
Please, before going all CT, this isn't. This is presented. Every detail is cited. Yes, I see a trend; however, I am sharing to see if you and others see a trend as well. I am interested in your views on this information.
Will cover two things in this diary:
- Global Governance as spoken by some Monetary and world leaders; and
- How Private Equity Firms are taking control of gun, bullet, and uniform manufacturers, and mercenary armies, funded by Citi, Bank of America, Barclays, and Deutsche, to name a few.
Ask yourself, and seriously consider your answers:
If I had all power, would I wait for each country to get its act together, or would I treat the world as one unit and use global governance to make it perfect?
How would I go about making sure there are no hungry, no homeless, and all have jobs, clean energy, air, and water, and a home.
What would I do, if some countries resisted and persisted in harming it's citizens and the environment?
Do we doubt, for a minute, that those with The Power, collectively, haven't thought that
"It would be much easier if there was one government because of globalization and the need for corporations to freely sell their products."
And, if so, how would they go about doing that?
There are dots that we can connect or there are dots we can discount. Either way, the dots could probably care less.
We are so easily distracted with the minutia that we can't perceive the HUGE astroid headed right for us.
Each, in our own little country, each with their own issues, loom so large that, like Bambi above, we don't even hear the heavy footsteps of Godzilla until SMOOSH, WHOOSH, it's over and we are squished.
I know that you know that something is brewing. I also know that you know that we seem to be unable to form strong, local groups. It's as if we can't find each other.
Especially those of us in Red States. We don't find like minded people at the local Democratic Party headquarters. All too often, we Red Staters find GOP operatives pretending to be Democrats. Heck, my state literally enlisted a Republican to run as a Democrat. True.
So, we feel the heat and we want to meet, but we are not sure of the timeline.
What's the rush. Please peruse the following and decide:
IMF Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn -
Global Governance
Audacity, always audacity:
Jean-Claude Trichet, President, European Central Bank -
Global Governance
President of the EU
President Hu Jintao, go to minute 5:40 for his World Cooperation talk:
THE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE
aka
The invisible hand(s), decision makers, down sizers, labor exploiters, wealth accumulators, leader makers, deal breakers, water owners, country resource snatchers, philanthropists, and private jet/gated homes owners.
Notice how Leszek Balcerowiczs is on both the US and the European Masters of the Universe Lists?
List of American Financial Masters of the Universe and the European Masters of the Universe.
These are the people pushing on both sides of the pond to dismantle social safety nets and who ponder what they can do about world over population, etc.
Clicking the links and reading through the lists is important. You can find them together and highlighted for a speed read here.
PIIE (Peter G Peterson Board of Directors) and Bruegel members ARE the shadow/invisible hand we allude to. Of course there are many others feeding into each member. The world is their oyster, which I no longer feel good about eating by the way.
Sadly, anyone with a modicum knowledge of history knows that the chances of all the world leaders working together in peaceful, harmonious cooperation is a pipe dream.
As is well stated here: Btw, I could watch this guys eyebrows FOREVER!
What has history taught us:
Conflict, conquest, and The End Justifies the Means for those wishing to "Gain Advantage".
Which brings this diary to the next point.
While we were sleeping, a few Private Equity Firms have joined the now infamous Private Equity Carlisle Group, and have been buying up manufactures of guns, ammunition, crowd control weaponry, and even mercenary armies.
Ok, nothing new other than their names, Veritas Capital and Dan Quale's group, Cerberus Capital? It is noteworthy that they are being financed by Citi, Bank of America, Barclays, and Deutsche, to name but a few. Good thing they had $100s of billions of our TARP money at the time!
THE UNFOLLOWED STORY, MEDIA CRICKETS ON THIS TREND:
Private Equity Funds, run by former high level government/military leaders and funded by TBTF banks and corporations now have their own armies, air forces, special forces, and navies.
Private Equity Funds have their own satellites, former CIA and FBI agents, and now own/operate the better part of what we call our National Defense, thanks to Rumsfeld's and Chertoff's uber privatization and expanded under Obama.
The Chertoff Group, for instance.
WASHINGTON, D.C. June 1, 2010 – The Chertoff Group, a strategic security and risk management advisory firm, announced Thursday that recently retired U.S. Navy Admiral Timothy J. Keating and the former Chief of the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) Sir John M. Scarlett have joined the Chertoff Group’s Board of Advisors.
WOW! The former Attorney now has the former Chief of MI6 as an advisor! Holy eff'n cow!
Thanks to Bush II and Congress for scrapping Posse Comitatus, we could have DynCorp mercenaries in any of our towns in a moments notice fully armed.
And before launching into the Cerberus Gun Cartel, did you know that Erik Prince sold his private airforce andBlackwater. $200 million each. Nice cash out, Erik.
Here's an example of how a Private Equity Firm quietly buys up an industry segment. In this case Cerberus and Guns:
Cerberus specializes in acquiring large enterprises that are cash-strapped or on the verge of bankruptcy, and then turning them around.
This is also how competition is removed from an industry. Think Home Depot and Lowe's only Guns.
Watch how Cerberus buys up the competitors. Time will tell us how this affects the market, but I can guess that whatever US manufacturing that might still exist will be gone within 2-4 years.
Now, try to follow along as we attempt to see in spite of the SMOKE AND MIRRORS:
Remington to be Acquired by Cerberus
April 6th, 2007
Note the date, April 6, 2007. Cerberus then proceeds to buy up other gun mfg's: Marlin, Dakota, and AAC Supressor Mgr; however, the headlines state that Remington is buying these companies.

Now, let me introduce you to the Freedom Group, Inc. (FGI). Yes, that's Freedom Group, Inc (FGI).
Oddly, at The Freedom Group's website they state that they are 194 years old. Even though FGI is a Delaware Corporation, FGI is also located at 870 Remington Drive
Madison, North Carolina 27025-1776
FGI is not 194 years old.
Freedom Group Inc was created in March, 2007
FGI's History
With the goal of creating the world’s leading firearms, ammunition and related products company, we have built a family of brands and products through the successful integration of four primary acquisitions (Bushmaster, Remington, DPMS and Marlin). FGI is a holding company controlled by Cerberus, dating back to the first firearms acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of Bushmaster by Cerberus in April 2006.
Cerberus created FGI on March 30, 2007 and
FGI subsequently acquired Remington Arms Company, Inc. on May 31, 2007.
On December13, 2007, we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Defense Procurement/Manufacturing Services, Inc. (DPMS)
Subsequently, on January 28, 2008, we acquired 100% of the shares of the Marlin Firearms Company and its subsidiary H&R 1871, LLC through our Remington subsidiary.
We currently conduct our business operations principally
through our two main operating subsidiaries, Remington and Bushmaster.
Freedom Group, Inc. Acquires Barnes Bullets: Gorilla’s got weapons AND (more) bullets, now.
On January 4, 2010, in Ammunition, Featured, by David Crane
Here's a list of Freedom Group, Inc Companies: Guns, bullets, silencers, military uniforms, and bullet making supplies:
REMINGTON
BUSHMASTER
REMINGTON MILITARY
REMINGTON LE
MARLIN FIREARMS
H&R 1871
DAKOTA ARMS
DPMS / Panther Arms
PARKER GUNMAKERS
BARNES BULLETS
INTC (bullet development/manufacturing)
ADVANCED ARMAMENT
EOTAC
REMINGTON PMPD
MOUNTAIN KHAKIS
Can this now behemoth that controls a large % of gun and bullet manufacturing impact legislation regarding gun control?
Maybe. Dan Quayle and his other conservative partners will have access, no doubt.
When Cerberus acquired riflemaker DPMS in 2007, we wrote: “One positive aspect to Cerberus’ involvement in the gun industry is that the huge political clout Cerberus commands as the ‘rescuer’ of Chrysler Corp. should undermine efforts to ban AR-platform rifles. Cerberus is big enough to make waves in Washington. Money talks in politics and Cerberus has lots of it.”
Here's the Board of Directors for Freedom Group, Inc.
Last, but not least, Cerberus just purchased DynCorp from Veritas Capital with money provided by Citi, Bank of America, Barclays, and Deutsche.
There you go.
An army, bullets, materials and equipment to make bullets, silencers, a host of gun designs, uniforms, a former Vice President, Dan Quayle and a host of high ranking military men, and the cooperation of some of the biggest, baddest banks in the world.
There are so many reasons to question how good this is for us and our country.
But it's probably just about money, not power, right?
This is already too long, but if you add the military holdings and power of other Private Equity Firms, like Veritas, Chertoff, Cerberus, and The Carlisle Group and the corporations that need protection, I'd say they are quite well covered.
I'd say global governance, which of course needs military and police en force, is stacking up as a possibility.
Certainly endless war is guaranteed.
I will share that my dad was a Lt. Colonel. He was also a dove. He would get really angry if we captured lightening bugs. He never talked about what he saw during WWII. He was a very smart, interesting man. I once asked him why the Vietnam War was going on.
He said "War is an opportunity for the military to invent and test new weapons systems, so we have to have a war once in a while."
May God rest his soul. How I miss his wisdom and gentle spirit.

Some right wing humor:
Apparently there is an IXC Cerebrus security tower used on the border.
Somehow, maybe a rumor spread by a competitor of one of the Freedom Group Inc/Cerberus guns, the Gun Enthusiasts from Wingnuttia think are going viral on the internet spreading that
George Soros bought Remington. UM, NO HE DID NOT!!!!
You can see where the rumor might have started here. Needless to say, it's not properly cited.
Cerberus might want to tamp down this rumor if they want Remington sales.
