Fact wrapped in fiction?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000\"><strong>Watchwoman introduction:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span> Recently, Brad Thor wrote a book, that I highly recommend, FULL BLACK.\u00a0 It is a thriller!\u00a0 It\u2019s about the evildoers whose goal is the complete and total collapse of the United States.\u00a0 In FULL BLACK, unknowingly, a Hollywood movie producer, Larry Salomon, exposes one of the world\u2019s wealthiest and most politically connected power brokers, James Standing, \u2013 a man with a radical anti-American agenda \u2013 who sounds amazingly close to the kind of person that the multi-billionaire George Soros is (not necessarily my opinion, but that of a talk show person).\u00a0 I heard Glenn Beck make that comparison while he was doing an interview with the author, Brad Thor, and that is what got me interested in this book.\u00a0 To get you even more interested in reading FULL BLACK, below are excerpts edited down from pages 70-77 that have been rearranged for clarity and brevity and thus somewhat rewritten, but holding to the original meaning.\u00a0 This <em>\u201cdigest\u201d<\/em> edited piece was given to me by a friend but the dialogue is, nevertheless, startling and\u00a0disturbing.\u00a0 Larry Salomon is describing the evil James Standing\u2019s diabolical plot to Luke Ralston and then Thor relates a conversation between the malevolent James Standing and a woman reporter named Julia Winston.\u00a0 Ralston had just saved Salomon\u2019s life from Russian hit men hired by Standing.\u00a0 Thor does meticulous and long-term research for all his thrillers and this just may reveal a whole lot more about real people than we\u2019d like to believe.\u00a0 Keep in mind my Word Warriorette motto \u2013 \u201cWill Forward, You Decide.\u201d\u00a0 I hope you decide to read FULL BLACK.\u00a0 Meanwhile, what do you think?\u00a0 Is this a description of George Soros and why he does what he does or was Glenn Beck way off target? <strong>\u25ac Donna Calvin<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">~ : ~<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>FULL BLACK<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>by Brad Thor<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><em>Except<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Larry Salomon to Ralston<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cStanding is a full-on sociopath. Nothing about him makes sense. Despite being born and raised Jewish, he\u2019s a rabid anti-Semite. Despite being a billionaire many times over, he\u2019s a vehement\u00a0anticapitalist. Despite having\u00a0benefitted\u00a0greatly from everything America has done to empower the individual, he is a vocal proponent of social engineering and the redistribution of wealth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the best descriptions of him I ever heard was that he was a malignant, messianic narcissist who, left unchecked, would bring\u00a0about\u00a0horrors beyond those performed by Hitler, Stalin, Mao, or Pol Pot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStanding is a globalist, And he definitely believes he can help usher in some sort of utopia, but there\u2019s one final step that would have to be undertaken, and that\u2019s the most frightening thing of all about him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn an interview he gave on the sidelines of the economic forum in\u00a0Davos,Switzerland. It was some small European paper and\u00a0maybe\u00a0he didn\u2019t think it would get any pickup, but he allowed his mask to slip. In the twentieth century, he said, the world saw the loss of about 225 million people due to war, genocide, and disaster. According to him, the only way mankind can survive the twenty-first century is if the world population is cut by at least five billion. And that will only happen if every industrialized nation is forced into collapse, starting with the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to James Standing, theUnited Statesis the only remaining obstacle to a just and stable world.<\/p>\n<p>He believes that he can\u00a0<em>and\u00a0<\/em>should use any means necessary, to collapse theUnited States no matter what the cost.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe ends justify the means, Money can buy an entire political system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe has a very clear vision as to what he wants to have happen toAmerica. He developed a very simple plan to bring it about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe started by using his wealth to co-opt anyone who could have any impact on popular culture or public opinion. Newspapers, actors, journalists, publishers, politicians, business people, unions-you name it.\u00a0\u00a0The idea was to be able to control the media, as well as any other voices Americans trusted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey knew they needed to change the way Americans saw themselves. It\u2019s ideological subversion, plain and simple. To get it to take hold, he needed to begin planting this new way of thinking in the most fertile minds they could get a hold of.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0Which means kids.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStanding and the foundations aligned with him have been heavy contributors to educational endowments. It\u2019s the golden rule. He who controls the gold controls the rules, or in this case, the curricula.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut it wasn\u2019t enough to simply plant this new ideology. It had to grow without being challenged. Hence the disappearance\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0of civics classes and the portrayal of American history through the lens of imperialism and aggression. Instead of social studies, children were taught studies in social justice withAmericarepeatedly shown as the bad guy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis has been going on for Decades.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe students subjected to Standing\u2019s propaganda are now adults. They\u2019re everywhere you look &#8211; business, the media, government, and teaching successive generations of kids in our schools.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re completely immune to anything that deviates from their ideological perception of reality and what they have been taught is the \u2018real\u2019 truth. The lens they look through life at, has forever been altered. It\u2019s both terrifying and brilliant in its totality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn top of indoctrinating kids,\u00a0Standing wanted to get as many people dependent upon the government handouts as possible., handouts even for corporations, are like heroin. Most people, once they\u2019re hooked, remain hooked and don\u2019t even realize it. They rationalize that they\u2019re entitled to the handouts.\u201d \u00a0And the politicians are just as addicted, except they\u2019re addicted to power, and to increase their power, they need to keep doling\u00a0<em>out\u00a0<\/em>more and more handouts. It doesn\u2019t matter if we can\u2019t afford the handouts. They\u2019ll keep borrowing and printing money, running the country deeper into debt in order to keep the heroin flowing. It\u2019s a vicious, self-perpetuating cycle.\u00a0\u00a0In fact, one of the most apropos political observations I have ever read is that a democracy can exist only until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From the moment that realization takes hold, history shows that the majority of the people will always vote for the candidate promising the most goodies from the public treasury.\u00a0\u00a0History also shows us that once a democracy goes down this road, things never end well. Each and every single time, the democracy collapses.\u00a0 It always happens. It collapses over loose fiscal policy, and democracy is always followed by dictatorship\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen democracy collapses, fear, violence, and uncertainty fill the void. In essence, it\u2019s chaos, and that\u2019s what the dictator preys upon. The people are so terrified that they will agree to trade anything, even the most precious possession they have-their liberty-in exchange for a return to order. But when order is restored, freedom is never seen by those citizens again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHistorically, when democracies have collapsed it\u2019s because they were already unstable to begin with, like us. Then, some sort of crisis, or a group of crises come together in such a way that they push the democracy over the brink. They can\u00a0<em>come\u00a0<\/em>in any form\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo that\u2019s Standing\u2019s goal,\u201d said Ralston. \u201cBut how does he intend to get there? How could he\u00a0<em>force\u00a0<\/em>America to collapse?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019ll probably have something to do with the economy, right?\u00a0\u00a0Some sort of new financial crisis?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Salomon replied.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cConsidering his expertise, that makes sense, but there are other possibilities. He\u2019s stirred revolutions in other countries by creating crises of confidence in government. He\u2019ll rig an election and then leak that the election was rigged. But even that might be too pedestrian when it comes to what he has planned for the United States. With his money and demented worldview, anything is possible\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>James Standing\u2019s interview with Julia Winston<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cRecently you said you wanted to see a \u2018managed decline\u2019 of the dollar. Can you expound upon that remark? Julia asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe dollar, due to the nation\u2019s huge and rapidly expanding deficit, is not a very strong currency, and it has only grown weaker.<\/p>\n<p>Normally, in times of crisis, we see flights to safety.\u00a0\u00a0Investors seeking safe havens have historically turned to the U.S. dollar-<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s important to point out that investors no longer consider the dollar a safe haven. They are fleeing to hard assets, commodities. This demonstrates both a lack of confidence in the dollar, as well as a lack of confidence in currencies overall.\u201d Standing replied.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe system doesn\u2019t work. It is broken and needs to be fundamentally transformed. The worldwide distribution of wealth is completely out of balance-a select few get richer while everyone else gets poorer. The only way to correct this is with a new currency system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the beginning, we would use a basket of currencies; special drawing rights, or SDRs, as they\u2019re known. Those would give you the makings of a new currency system. And I would add, that the United States\u2019 reluctance to consider this move only supports what the rest of the world already knows.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe use of the SDRs could greatly benefit theUnited States, but there is an innate parochialism that exists inAmerica, a xenophobia that has been holding this country back for decades. We live in a global society now. Communications are global, corporations are global, trade is global, tourism is global, why not currency?\u201d said Standing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome would say that a global currency would put the world just one step away from a global government.\u201d Winston answered.<\/p>\n<p>The billionaire shrugged. \u2018\u2018Who\u2019s to say that\u2019s a bad thing?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll tell you a secret as long as you\u2019ll agree it\u2019s off the record.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe American people aren\u2019t that bright. The entire nation is made up largely of idiots. As long as they have their McDonald\u2019s and their sitcom television, they really don\u2019t care what happens politically.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo back to a global currency,\u00a0\u00a0America can no longer sit on the couch, resting on its status quo. We have always led the world, not lagged behind. America needs to\u00a0<em>progress\u00a0<\/em>into the future. It cannot stand still or, fall behind the other nations of the world. In the short run, there will be difficulties, but what matters is the long run \u201c<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd if America says\u00a0<em>no?\u201d<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0Asked Winston.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe U.S.A. will become a nothing, a nobody. We need to realize that the good old days are not ahead of America anymore. They are behind us, and they<em>\u00a0<\/em><em>\u00a0<\/em>will continue to be, unless the United States climbs on board with the rest of the world\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA new system\u00a0<em>has\u00a0<\/em>to be created. Part of that system involves shedding our ridiculous reliance on the dollar.\u00a0America\u2019s\u00a0economy is pulling the rest of the world down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will tell you this,\u201d offered the billionaire. \u2018\u2018America must stop seeing itself as\u00a0the center of the universe. It is not only unhealthy, it\u2019s unrealistic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have confidence that the American model, as we understand it, no longer works. And when something doesn\u2019t work, what are your choices? You can either sit and wring your hands, or you can help guide people to something better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Salomon and Ralston<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo Standing manipulates America right up onto the ledge and then shoves.\u00a0\u00a0He needs to be exposed \u201c<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u00a0<em>needs\u00a0<\/em>is to be swinging from the end of a rope.

We don\u2019t try people for treason, much less put them to death for it.
