There is a palpable nervousness among the citizens of this country. And just as the lyrics of the 60's song by the Buffalo Springfield, "There's Something Happening Here" stated so prophetically: "what it is ain't exactly clear."
In the last edition I wrote a short essay, "The New Agenda for America (NAA) Verses the Invisible Pyramid." In this essay I hint at the notion of the elite utilizing "Social Control Theory" to precipitate a global depression. Their goal is to finalize the usurpation of power into the hands of a global elite. I highly recommend that you read through the accompanying links, provided by Bill Moyers, regarding the parallels between our current global economic crisis and the events leading up to the Great Depression (1929). One parallel that comes to mind is that the Great Depression was precipitated by "margin calls" whereas the coming depression will similarly be precipitated by "hedge funds" and other deceptive economic instruments.
In this new program, to leave the American working class destitute, the groundwork has been laid through various recent legislation and actions:
* The "Credit Reform Act" allowed the global bankers to impose higher and higher interest rates on the American consumer.
* The "Bankruptcy Reform Act" made it nearly impossible for anyone, including those avalanched by catastrophic medical expenses, from filing for bankruptcy.
* The artificially low interest rates, following 911, coupled with ARMs and sub prime loan instruments, set the stage for the largest home foreclosures since the Great Depression. Now 2 to 4 million American families are on the brink of loosing their most important asset: their homes.
* The annual influx of 2-3 million Legal Immigrants along with an additional 1-2 million Illegal Immigrants, into the United States. That adds up to 3-5 million additional people each year in a country of 300 million. This is being facilitated by Multinational corporations that are out to destroy the entitlements of Americans (e.g., Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid) along with their wages, pensions and the very jobs that they depend on to survive.
What is clear, from these corporate-sponsored programs, is that the elite has set the groundwork for the demise of the American working class. But unlike the Great Depression, the homes and businesses, once own by Americans, will be picked up by the 3-5 million Legal and Illegal Immigrants that we are pouring into this country each year. Could there be a greater betrayal to the notion of a government "by, for and of the American people?"
So we are allowing 2-3 million foreign elites to invade our country legally each year -- through H1B and other Visa programs -- while the media only allows us to focus on Illegal Immigration. These "legal immigrants" are the foreigners who will be occupying your homes and businesses as your elected representatives kick you to the curb.
Lou Dobbs is probably the most important figure, waking up the American people to many of these developments: (1) the invasion by illegal immigrants, (2) the silent implementation of the North American Union, (2) the disenfranchisement of America by foreign investment. But even he has room to improve as he consistently insists that: (1) he favors legal immigration, (2) denies an alternative explanation for 911, (3) supports the drug war and (4) provides no plan to reverse this catastrophic trend.
What is disconcerting is that he works for CNN, which is really part of the global elite's propaganda mechanism. As much as I admire Lou Dobbs I often have often wondered why the globalist CNN allows Lou to espouse an agenda that is at cross purposes with that of their own Globalist agenda. Is he our needed catalyst for change or is he merely serving to inoculate us into submissiveness? Or is he carefully walking a knife edge in order to save the American working class while fully understanding that he really works for the enemy?
Let's just look at one of the areas that he has largely ignored: legal immigration. As I noted in the last edition we can no longer even support the 300 million current Americans that are living in this great republic. Atlanta is suffering the worst drought in our history and the Ogallala aquifer, which supplies much water to the Southwest, is quickly going dry. The US military has even predicted looming "resource wars" within the United States as these resources literally dry up. So then how can we justify ANY further increase in our population: regardless of whether they are legal or illegal immigrants? And why won't Lou say what I have been saying for years:
No More Immigration: Legal or Illegal!
Something IS happening here though it is unclear where it will lead us. The American people are finally waking up and noticing that something is drastically wrong. They are seeing their jobs vanishing oversees. They are seeing the best of the remaining American jobs being taken by foriegn elites from India, the Mid-East, China and other countries. They are finally noticing that we have lost nearly half of our manufacturing capacity in just the last decade. They are astonished that our federal representatives are ignoring our calls to stop any further immigration and they are getting extremely angry about it. In recent weeks this fact is finally being acknowledged throughout the major networks. What becomes crucial, at this juncture, is that we effectively channel this growing anger into actions (protest, legislation etc.) that move us towards a sustainable future where the needs and dreams of American citizens are both recognized and met.
Also crucial to saving this republic is understanding the bigger picture that is driving this globalist agenda.
In the last edition, of New Age Citizen, I talked about the "Invisible Pyramid." In this analogy I make the observation that most of us cannot see much above the base, which makes it difficult to understand what is really going through the minds of the elite, perched way up in the apex of the pyramid.
I came across a 2-hour video, Zeitgeist, that further illuminates what is going on at the top of the pyramid. The term Zeitgeist [zeit = time + geist = spirit] describes the general intellectual, moral, and cultural climate of an era.
Zeitgeist starts out by describing how literalist religions have served as "social control" mechanisms for controlling the masses. They trace this back to the early Egyptian Kingdoms (c. 3000 BC). Then they show how these elites have effectively wrested control through the establishment of Central Banks. Next they show how the same cast of characters have promulgated market crashes, wars and social dislocation in order to move towards a Global Government. Finally, they connect the dots to the more recent manifestations of this grand scheme: 911 and the North American Union. I highly recommend that every American activist take the time to view this great film though I don't necessarily agree with everything contained in the film.
Here are some of my favorite quotes from this movie:
"The refusal of King George III to allow the colonies to operate an honest money system, which freed the ordinatry man from the clutches of the money manipulators was probably the prime cause of the revolution."
Benjamin Franklin, Founding Father
"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous than standing armies . . . If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of currency . . . the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of their property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their father conquered."
Thomas Jefferson, Founding Father (1743 - 1826)
"Our great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is privately concentrated, the growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men . . . who necessarily, by very reason of their own limitations, chill and check and destroy genuine economic freedom.
We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world -- no government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and the duress of small groups of dominant men.
Woodrow Wilson, US President that signed Federal Reserve Act
Here is the link to the Zeitgeist website where you may view the entire 2 hour movie for free:
In recent weeks there have been a number of important developments:
* New York's Governor Spitzer has been avalanched by public dissent for attempting to allow Illegal Aliens to attain drivers licenses and the right to vote.
* Hillary Clinton saw her poll rating drop as soon as she voiced support for Spitzer's plan.
* We defeated the "Dream Act" for the 3rd or 4th time.
* The "No Match" letters, that would have identified nearly 8 million Illegal Aliens has been held up through a Federal injunction led by the ACLU and the AFL-CIO
* CNN's new show "Out in the Open," hosted by this jerk Sanchez, is attempting to counter Lou Dobb's in his attempt to stem the flow of immigration into this country. Sanchez is a blatant supporter of Amnesty for Illegal Immigrants.
It is my viewpoint that the strategy of the elite is to push the "Illegal Amnesty Agenda" through in a piecemeal fashion while simultaneously obfuscating the issue and putting a halt to any real reform (e.g., "No Match Letters"). Finally, they are trying to push through, at the state level, what they have been unable to push through at the federal level. The issuance of drivers licenses for Illegal Aliens is the most blatant recent example of these tactics.
So the obvious question becomes: What is our Strategy?
First of all we must all become increasingly active attending rallies and writing to our Congressional representatives. Secondly we must have an agenda of our own. To this end New Age Citizen is promoting the "New Agenda for America." Here are the current planks:
New Agenda for America: Help Influence the 2008 Presidency (1) Universal Health Care for All American Citizens (2) A 20-year moratorium on all immigration into the United States (3) Legal Marijuana for all Adults and Medical Patients (4) An immediate reversal to the Offshoring and Inshoring of American Jobs (5) A strict enforcement on issues of Separation of Church and State (6) An immediate move from so-called Free Trade Agreements to Bilateral Trade agreements (7) A major R&D project to bring energy independence to the United States and the World through recycling, reuse, ending hyper-consumerism and investing in the development of sustainable energy sources (e.g., solar, photovoltaic, wind, geothermal) (8) No further ownership of US Assets (businesses, homes, ports, stock exchanges) by foreign governments or individuals! (9) Replacement of the "Federal Reserve" with a "People's Reserve" which has Congressional oversight.
The premise of the "New Agenda for America" (NAA) is that our current paradigm of "lassie faire capitalism" is ill suited for a required transition towards a static and sustainable economy. The purpose of NAA is to provide a set of policy planks that are in the interest of the American working class. It is my hope that people begin to endorse this agenda and also demand that our Presidential candidates endorse this agenda.
I am hoping to lecture about the "New Agenda for America" throughout the 2008 Presidential election race. Prior to January 2008 I am encouraging people to print off copies of the Agenda and distribute it to as many as possible. It is not so important that everyone support every plank. The primary purpose is to recognize that our present system is FUBAR (Fouled Up Beyond All Recovery) and is in dire need of reform which preserves both the dignity and livelihoods of American workers.
Here is the link to the "New Agenda for America" flyers:
This is what the flyers look like if printed on a color printer:
I would also encourage you to do everything you can to make yourself present at one of the growing number of "March for America" Protests on Saturday, November 17th, 2007.

If I can get at least 50 people to commit to a "March for America" event in Dearborn, I will arrange a protest in front of Ford World Headquarters on 11/17/2007. Please forward this "invite" to any friends/family in SE Michigan. Have them send me an email with the following in the Subject:
This is a very good video from Alex Jones (approximately 2 hours) which touches on the Globalist Agenda, NAU, emerging prison camp construction etc. I like Jones but disagree with him on many things. Specifically I think he understates the complicity of Islamofacists in 911 and in attempting to gain a foothold in America. Still, I highly recommend this video:
"The waiting is over, the anticipation can now finally be realized - Alex Jones' End Game is here and its arrival heralds a new salvo in the infowar, a fresh new insight into understanding what the long term plans of the elite really are and why the future destiny of humanity could be won or lost within our lifetimes. Endgame rips the lid off the elite's long term dream and explains why it will be a nightmare for the rest of humanity unless we rise up now and fight back against the systems of control that are being locked down to transform the earth into a prison planet." Paul Joseph Watson
"Alex Jones’ Endgame is a horror film. It’s creepier than Nosferatu, the German Expressionist film featuring the vampire Count Orlok. How dare Alex Jones tell the truth. How dare he make Endgame, certainly a horror film, and reveal the ghastly master plan designed to not only enslave the planet but reduce its numbers in psychopathic fashion. Endgame is surely impertinence of the sort the elite not only detest, but decidedly fear same as the cockroach fears and scurries when a light is switched on." Kurt Nimmo
"Alex Jones' brand new documentary Endgame charts the history of the elite blueprint for social domination and control, outlining the ultimate plans that those who consider themselves the anointed have for our planet. Looking more slick and professionally produced than ever with an intense soundtrack and filmed in super quality high definition, Endgame is a must watch for anyone seriously concerned with the world we live in today." Steve Watson
This is an extremely disturbing video and not for those with weak stomachs. But I present it here because I think it shows a side of Islamofacism that is largely "covered up" in the global media. This video underlines my argument against further immigration into the United States by any group. But in the wake of 911 I think it prudent that we specifically and immediately stem the flow of immigrants from all Muslim countries.
Naomi Wolf articulates the fascist direction of America in this recent 45 minute lecture. In it she discusses the "blueprint" for fascism and shows how the United States is well on its way.
This is the sun. As far back as 10 thousand B.C.E., history is abundant with carvings [M] and writings reflecting people's respect and adoration for this object [S1]. And it is simple to understand why as every morning the sun would rise, bringing vision, warmth, and security, saving man from the cold, blind, predator-filled darkness of night. Without it, the cultures understood, the crops would not grow, and life on the planet would not survive. These realities made the sun the most adored object of all time.[M] Likewise, they were also very aware of the stars.[M] The tracking of the stars allowed them to recognize and anticipate events which occurred over long periods of time, such as eclipses and full moons.[M] They in turn catalogued celestial groups into what we know today as constellations.[S2]
This is the cross of the Zodiac, one of the oldest conceptual images in human history. [M] It reflects the sun as it figuratively passes through the 12 major constellations over the course of a year. It also reflects the 12 months of the year, the 4 seasons, and the solstices and equinoxes [S3] . The term Zodiac relates to the fact that constellations were anthropomorphized, or personified, as figures, or animals.[S4] [M]
In other words, the early civilizations did not just follow the sun and stars, they personified them with elaborate myths involving their movements and relationships. [S5] [M] The sun, with its life-giving and -saving qualities was personified as a representative of the unseen creator or god...[M]"God's Sun,"[M] the light of the world, the savior of human kind.[S6] Likewise, the 12 constellations represented places of travel for God's Sun and were identified by names, usually representing elements of nature that happened during that period of time. For example, Aquarius, the water bearer, who brings the Spring rains.[S7] [M] [D]
This is Horus.[M] He is the Sun God of Egypt of around 3000 BC [S8] [D]. He is the sun, anthropomorphized, and his life is a series of allegorical myths involving the sun's movement in the sky. [S9] [S10] [M] From the ancient hieroglyphics in Egypt, we know much about this solar messiah. For instance, Horus, being the sun, or the light, had an enemy known as Set and Set [D] was the personification of the darkness or night .[M] [S11] And, metaphorically speaking, every morning Horus would win the battle against Set - while in the evening, Set would conquer Horus and send him into the underworld. [S12] [S13] It is important to note that "dark vs. light" or "good vs. evil" is one of the most ubiquitous mythological dualities ever known and is still expressed on many levels to this day.
Broadly speaking, the story of Horus is as follows: Horus was born on December 25th [S14] [S15] of the virgin Isis-Meri.[S16] [S17] [S18] [D] [M] His birth was accompanied by a star in the east [S19], which in turn, three kings followed to locate and adorn the new-born savior [M] [S20] [S21] At the age of 12, he was a prodigal child teacher, and at the age of 30 [S22] [S23] he was baptized by a figure known as Anup [M] and thus began his ministry[S24] [M]. Horus had 12 disciples[S25] he traveled about with, performing miracles[S26] [S27]such as healing the sick[S28] and walking on water[S29]. Horus was known by many gestural names such as The Truth, The Light, God's Annointed Son, The Good Shepherd, The Lamb of God, and many others[S30] [S31]. After being betrayed by Typhon[S32], Horus was crucified[S33] [S34], buried for 3 days[S35], and thus, resurrected.[S36] [S37] [M].
These attributes of Horus, whether original or not, seem to permeate in many cultures of the world, for many other gods are found to have the same general mythological structure.
Attis, of Phyrigia, born of the virgin Nana on December 25th, crucified, placed in a tomb and after 3 days, was resurrected. [S38] [S39] [S40] [S41] [S42] [S43] [M] [D]
Krishna, of India, born of the virgin Devaki with a star in the east signaling his coming, performed miracles with his disciples, and upon his death was resurrected. [S44] [S45] [S46] [S47] [S48] [M] [M2] [D]
Dionysus of Greece, born of a virgin on December 25th, was a traveling teacher who performed miracles such as turning water into wine, he was referred to as the "King of Kings," "God's Only Begotten Son," "The Alpha and Omega," and many others, and upon his death, he was resurrected. [S49] [S50] [S51] [S52] [S53] [M]
Mithra, of Persia, born of a virgin on December 25th, he had 12 disciples and performed miracles, and upon his death was buried for 3 days and thus resurrected, he was also referred to as "The Truth," "The Light," and many others. Interestingly, the sacred day of worship of Mithra was Sunday. [S54] [S55] [S56] [S57] [S58] [M]
The fact of the matter is there are numerous saviors, from different periods, from all over the world, which subscribe to these general characteristics. The question remains: why these attributes, why the virgin birth on December 25th, why dead for three days and the inevitable resurrection, why 12 disciples or followers? [M] To find out, let's examine the most recent of the solar messiahs.
Jesus Christ was born of the virgin Mary on December 25th [D] in Bethlehem, his birth was announced by a star in the east, which three kings or magi followed to locate and adorn the new savior.[D] He was a child teacher at 12, at the age of 30 he was baptized by John the Baptist, and thus began his ministry. Jesus had 12 disciples which he traveled about with performing miracles such as healing the sick, walking on water, raising the dead, he was also known as the "King of Kings," the "Son of God," the "Light of the World," the "Alpha and Omega," the "Lamb of God," and many others. After being betrayed by his disciple Judas and sold for 30 pieces of silver, he was crucified, placed in a tomb and after 3 days was resurrected and ascended into Heaven.[S59]
First of all, the birth sequence is completely astrological. The star in the east is Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky, which, on December 24th, aligns with the 3 brightest stars in Orion's Belt. [S60] [M] These 3 bright stars are called today what they were called in ancient times: The Three Kings.[S61] [S62] The Three Kings and the brightest star, Sirius, all point to the place of the sunrise on December 25th.[S63] [M] This is why the Three Kings "follow" the star in the east, in order to locate the sunrise -- the birth of the sun.[S64] [M]
The Virgin Mary is the constellation Virgo, [S65] also known as Virgo the Virgin. Virgo in Latin means virgin. The ancient glyph for Virgo is the altered "m". This is why Mary along with other virgin mothers, such as Adonis's mother Myrrha [S66], or Buddha's mother Maya [S67] begin with an M.[S68] [M] Virgo is also referred to as the House of Bread [S69] [S70], and the representation of Virgo is a virgin holding a sheaf of wheat. This House of Bread and its symbol of wheat represents August and September, the time of harvest. [D] In turn, Bethlehem, in fact, literally translates to "house of bread". [M] [S71] Bethlehem is thus a reference to the constellation Virgo , a place in the sky, not on Earth.[M] [S72]
There is another very interesting phenomenon that occurs around December 25th, or the winter solstice. From the summer solstice to the winter solstice, the days become shorter and colder. From the perspective of the northern hemisphere, the sun appears to move south and get smaller and more scarce. The shortening of the days and the expiration of the crops when approaching the winter solstice symbolized the process of death to the ancients. It was the death of the Sun. [S73] By December 22nd, the Sun's demise was fully realized, for the Sun, having moved south continually for 6 months, makes it to it's lowest point in the sky. Here a curious thing occurs: the Sun stops moving south, at least perceivably, for 3 days.[S74] [M] During this 3 day pause, the Sun resides in the vicinity of the Southern Cross, or Crux, constellation.[S75] [S76] [M] And after this time on December 25th, the Sun moves 1 degree, this time north, foreshadowing longer days, warmth, and Spring.[S77] And thus it was said: the Sun died on the cross, [D] was dead for 3 days, only to be resurrected or born again.[S78] [S79]This is why Jesus and numerous other Sun Gods share the crucifixion, 3-day death, and resurrection concept. [S80] [M] It is the Sun's transition period before it shifts its direction back into the Northern Hemisphere, bringing Spring, and thus salvation.[S81] [S82] [M]
However, they did not celebrate the resurrection of the Sun until the spring equinox, or Easter. This is because at the spring equinox, the Sun officially overpowers the evil darkness, as daytime thereafter becomes longer in duration than night, and the revitalizing conditions of spring emerge.[M] [S83]
Now, probably the most obvious of all the astrological symbolism around Jesus regards the 12 disciples. They are simply the 12 constellations of the Zodiac, which Jesus, being the Sun, travels about with. [S84] [S85] [S86] [S87] [M]
In fact, the number 12 is replete throughout the Bible. [M] This text has more to do with astrology than anything else.
Coming back to the cross of the Zodiac, the figurative life of the Sun, this was not just an artistic expression or tool to track the Sun's movements. It was also a Pagan spiritual symbol, [S88] the shorthand of which looked like this. [S89] This is not a symbol of Christianity. [M] It is a Pagan adaptation of the cross of the Zodiac. [S90] [S91] This is why Jesus in early occult art is always shown with his head on the cross, for Jesus is the Sun, the Sun of God, the Light of the World, [S92] the Risen Savior, [S93] who will "come again,"[S94] as it does every morning, the Glory of God [S95] who defends against the works of darkness,[S96] as he is "born again" [S97] every morning, and can be seen "coming in the clouds,"[S98] "up in Heaven,"[S99]with his "Crown of Thorns,"[S100] or, sun rays.
Now, of the many astrological-astronomical metaphors in the Bible, one of the most important has to do with the ages. Throughout the scripture there are numerous references to the "Age." In order to understand this, we need to be familiar with the phenomenon known as the precession of the equinoxes. The ancient Egyptians along with cultures long before them recognized that approximately every 2150 [D] years the sunrise on the morning of the spring equinox would occur at a different sign of the Zodiac. [M] This has to do with a slow angular wobble that the Earth maintains as it rotates on it's axis.It is called a precession because the constellations go backwards, rather than through the normal yearly cycle. [S101] The amount of time that it takes for the precession to go through all 12 signs is roughly 25,765 years. [S102] This is also called the "Great Year," [S103] and ancient societies were very aware of this. They referred to each 2150 year period as an "age." From 4300 b.c. to 2150 b.c., it was the Age of Taurus, the Bull. From 2150 b.c. to 1 a.d., it was the Age of Aries, the Ram, and from 1 a.d. to 2150 a.d. it is the Age of Pisces, the age we are still in to this day, and in and around 2150, we will enter the new age: the Age of Aquarius. [S104] [S105]
Now, the Bible reflects, broadly speaking, a symbolic movement through 3 ages, while foreshadowing a 4th. In the Old Testament when Moses comes down Mount Sinai with the 10 Commandments, he is very upset to see his people worshiping a golden bull calf.[S106] In fact, he shattered the stone tablets and instructed his people to kill each other in order to purify themselves. [S107] Most Biblical scholars would attribute this anger to the fact that the Israelites were worshiping a false idol, [S108] or something to that effect. The reality is that the golden bull is Taurus the Bull, and Moses represents the new Age of Aries the Ram. [S109] [M] This is why Jews even today still blow the Ram's horn. [S110] [M] Moses represents the new Age of Aries, [S111] and upon the new age, everyone must shed the old age. Other deities mark these transitions as well, a pre-Christian god who kills the bull, in the same symbology. [S112] [S113] [M]
Now Jesus is the figure who ushers in the age following Aries, the Age of Pisces the Two Fish.[S114] [S115] [M] Fish symbolism is very abundant in the New Testament. Jesus feeds 5000 people with bread and "2 fish." [S116] When he begins his ministry walking along Galilei, he befriends 2 fisherman, who follow him. [S117] [M] And I think we've all seen the Jesus-fish on the backs of people's cars. Little do they know what it actually means. It is a Pagan astrological symbolism for the Sun's Kingdom during the Age of Pisces.[S118] [M] Also, Jesus' assumed birth date is essentially the start of this age.
At Luke 22:10 when Jesus is asked by his disciples where the next passover will be, Jesus replied: "Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you bearing a pitcher of water... follow him into the house where he entereth in." This scripture is by far one of the most revealing of all the astrological references. The man bearing a pitcher of water is Aquarius, the water-bearer, who is always pictured as a man pouring out a pitcher of water. [S119] He represents the age after Pisces, and when the Sun (God's Sun) leaves the Age of Pisces (Jesus), it will go into the House of Aquarius, as Aquarius follows Pisces in the precession of the equinoxes. Also Jesus is saying is that after the Age of Pisces will come the Age of Aquarius. [S120] [M]
Now, we have all heard about the end times and the end of the world. Apart from the cartoonish depictions in the Book of Revelation, the main source of this idea comes from Matthew 28:20, where Jesus says "I will be with you even to the end of the world." [S121] However, in King James Version, "world" is a mistranslation, among many mistranslations. The actual word being used is "aeon", which means "age." "I will be with you even to the end of the age." Which is true, as Jesus' Solar Piscean personification will end when the Sun enters the Age of Aquarius. [S122] The entire concept of end times and the end of the world is a misinterpreted astrological allegory.[S123] [S124] [S125] [S126] [S127] [M] Let's tell that to the approximately 100 million people in America who believe the end of the world is coming.
Furthermore, the character of Jesus, a literary and astrological hybrid, is most explicitly a plagiarization of the Egyptian Sun-god Horus.[S128] [S129] [S130] [S131]For example, inscribed about 3500 years, on the walls of the Temple of Luxor in Egypt are images of the enunciation, the immaculate conception, the birth, and the adoration of Horus. [S132] The images begin with Thaw announcing to the virgin Isis that she will conceive Horus, then Nef the holy ghost impregnating the virgin, and then the virgin birth and the adoration.[S133] [S134] [M] This is exactly the story of Jesus' miracle conception. In fact, the literary similarities between Jesus and the Egyption religion are staggering. [M] [S135]
And the plagiarism is continuous. The story of Noah and Noah's Ark is taken directly from tradition. The concept of a Great Flood is ubiquitous throughout the ancient world, with over 200 different cited claims in different periods and times. [S136] [S137] [M] However, one need look no further for a pre-Christian source than the Epic of Gilgamesh,[S138] [S139] written in 2600 b.c. This story talks of a Great Flood commanded by God, an Ark with saved animals upon it, and even the release and return of a dove, all held in common with the biblical story, among many other similarities.[S140] [M]
And then there is the plagiarized story of Moses. Upon Moses' birth, it is said that he was placed in a reed basket and set adrift in a river in order to avoid infanticide. He was later rescued by a daughter of royalty and raised by her as a Prince.[S141] This baby in a basket story was lifted directly from the myth of Sargon of Akkad of around 2250 b.c. Sargon was born, placed in a reed basket in order to avoid infanticide, and set adrift in a river. He was in turn rescued and raised by Akki, a royal mid-wife.[S142] [S143] [M]
Furthermore, Moses is known as the Law Giver, the giver of the Ten Commandments,[S144] the Mosaic Law. However, the idea of a Law being passed from God to a prophet on a mountain is also a very old motif. Moses is just a law giver in a long line of law givers in mythological history. [S145] In India, Manou was the great law giver. [S146] In Crete, Minos ascended Mount Dicta, where Zeus gave him the sacred laws. [S147] While in Egypt there was Mises, [S148] who carried stone tablets and upon them the laws of god were written.
And as far as the Ten Commandments, they are taken outright from Spell 125 of the Egyptian Book of the Dead. [S149] What the Book of the Dead phrased "I have not stolen" became "Thou shall not steal," "I have not killed" became "Thou shall not kill," "I have not told lies" became "Thou shall not bare false witness" and so forth. [S150] In fact, the Egyptian religion is likely the primary foundational basis for the Judeo-Christian theology. [M] Baptism, [S151] afterlife,[S152] final judgment, [S153] virgin birth [S154] and resurrection, [S155] crucifixion, [S156] the ark of the covenant, [S157]circumcision, [S158] [S159] saviors,[S160] holy communion, [S161] the great flood, [S162] Easter, [S163] Christmas [S164] [S165] , Passover, [S166] and many many more, are all attributes of Egyptian ideas, long predating Christianity and Judaism.
Justin Martyr, one of the first Christian historians and defenders, wrote: "When we say that he, Jesus Christ, our teacher, was produced without sexual union, was crucified and died, and rose again, and ascended into Heaven, we propound nothing different from what you believe regarding those who you esteem Sons of Jupiter." [S167] In a different writing, Justin Martyr said "He was born of a virgin, accept this in common with what you believe of Perseus." [S168] It's obvious that Justin and other early Christians knew how similar Christianity was to the Pagan religions. However, Justin had a solution. As far as he was concerned, the Devil did it. The Devil had the foresight to come before Christ, and create these characteristics in the Pagan world. [S169]
The Bible is nothing more than an astro-theological literary fold hybrid, just like nearly all religious myths before it. [S170] [S171] [S172] [S173] [S174]In fact, the aspect of transference, of one character's attributes to a new character, can be found within the book itself. In the Old Testament there's the story of Joseph. Joseph was a prototype for Jesus. Joseph was born of a miracle birth, [S175] Jesus was born of a miracle birth. [S176] Joseph was of 12 brothers, [S177] Jesus had 12 disciples. [S178] Joseph was sold for 20 pieces of silver, [S179]Jesus was sold for 30 pieces of silver. [S180] Brother "Judah" suggests the sale of Joseph, [S181] disciple "Judas" suggests the sale of Jesus. [S182] Joseph began his work at the age of 30, [S183]Jesus began his work at the age of 30. [S184] The parallels go on and on.
Furthermore, is there any non-Biblical historical evidence of any person, living with the name Jesus, the Son of Mary, who traveled about with 12 followers, healing people and the like? There are numerous historians who lived in and around the Mediterranean either during or soon after the assumed life of Jesus.[S185] How many of these historians document this figure? Not one. [S186] However, to be fair, that doesn't mean defenders of the Historical Jesus haven't claimed the contrary. Four historians are typically referenced to justify Jesus's existence. Pliny the younger, Suetonius, Tacitus and the first three. [M] [S187] Each one of their entries consists of only a few sentences at best and only refer to the Christus or the Christ, which in fact is not name but a title. It means the "Anointed one" [S188] The fourth source is Josephus and this source has been proven to be a forgery for hundreds of years.[S189] Sadly, it is still sited as truth.
You would think that a guy who rose from the dead and ascended into Heaven for all eyes to see and performed the wealth of miracles acclaimed to him would have made it into the historical record. It didn't because once the evidence is weighed, there are very high odds that the figure known as Jesus, did not even exist.[S190] [S191] [S192] [S193]
The reality is, Jesus was the Solar Deity of the Gnostic Christian sect, [S194] [S195] [S196] and like all other Pagan gods, he was a mythical figure. It was the political establishment that sought to historize the Jesus figure for social control. By 325 a.d. in Rome, emperor Constantine convened the Council of Nicea. [S197] It was during this meeting that the politically motivated Christian Doctrines were established and thus began a long history of Christian bloodshed and spiritual fraud. And for the next 1600 years, the Vatican maintained a political stranglehold on all of Europe, leading to such joyous periods as the Dark Ages, along with enlightening events such as the Crusades, and the Inquisition.
Christianity, along with all other theistic belief systems, is the fraud of the age. It served to detach the species from the natural world, and likewise, each other. It supports blind submission to authority. It reduces human responsibility to the effect that "God" controls everything, and in turn awful crimes can be justified in the name of Divine Pursuit. And most importantly, it empowers those who know the truth but use the myth to manipulate and control societies. The religious myth is the most powerful device ever created, and serves as the psychological soil upon which other myths can flourish
This is actually from a "Disk Web" of all the archived files from "New Age Patriot" magazine which Bruce Cain edited and authored between 1989 and 1987. While many of the videos are grainy they show how prescient and consistent Bruce Cain's views on drug policy remain. While much of what he believes seems "common sense" today, it should be remembered that, at the time these views were being publicly advocated, his views were thought to be very controversial. Some might argue that, at least some of his views, are still controversial today.
Copy the "New Agenda for America" planks onto a piece of paper and put it in your wallet, so it is always available.
New Agenda for America: Help Influence the 2008 Presidency (1) Universal Health Care for All American Citizens (2) A 20-year moratorium on all immigration into the United States (3) Legal Marijuana for all Adults and Medical Patients (4) An immediate reversal to the Offshoring and Inshoring of American Jobs (5) A strict enforcement on issues of Separation of Church and State (6) An immediate move from so-called Free Trade Agreements to Bilateral Trade agreements (7) A major R&D project to bring energy independence to the United States and the World through recycling, reuse, ending hyper-consumerism and investing in the development of sustainable energy sources (e.g., solar, photovoltaic, wind, geothermal) (8) No further ownership of US Assets (businesses, homes, ports, stock exchanges) by foreign governments or individuals! (9) Replacement of the "Federal Reserve" with a "People's Reserve" which has Congressional oversight.
I am also providing the link (below) to a Word Document that contains 8 copies of the "New Agenda for America" per page. Soon I will also release a *.pdf version of this file. If you are reading this from the homepage of my website (www.newagecitizen.com) you will see what a single copy of this printed listing of the "New Agenda for America" looks like:
Here is the link to the "New Age Agenda" mini-flyer Word document:
Please make additional copies to share with your friends. Just follow these steps:
(1) Print of a few copies (8 mini-flyers per page) (2) Cut them into individual flyers with a pair of scissors (3) Put them where they are easily accessible (e.g., your wallet or purse) (4) Share them with any eligible American voter.
Then start sharing. Share the agenda with your friends, your family, with the local policeman. If you call into a "talk show" or attend a political debate read off the list and ask, after each policy plank is read: will you promise to support this? IF a politician says NO to anything on this agenda, that you support, respectfully tell them that they are NOT GETTING YOUR VOTE.

We have 14 months to change the course of the country by changing the agenda for the 2008 Presidential Election.
What would you rather have: the same old Corporate Presidential Agenda or "The New Agenda for America"?
I just think NAA makes too much sense to be ignored. It could be our last best chance to put this country back on track towards a sustainable future for our children.
Yours in Freedom,
Bruce W. Cain Editor, New Age Citizen www.newagecitizen.com
The current mission of New Age Citizen is really quite simple: I want to push forward the "New Agenda for America (NAA)" in order to rejuvenate this once-great republic. To do this I intend to lecture publicly; run as a "write-in" presidential candidate and force this agenda down the throats of all 2008 Presidential Candidates. I have absolutely no illusions of winning and -- in point of fact -- will never officially run. But I think such a prank could very well garner attention and therefore, more consideration of the NAA. It is so critical that this nation chart a different course in the very immediate future.
If you are new to this website I ask but one initial consideration:
Please don't reach any conclusions about New Age Citizen until you have done the following:
I am confident that, having read some of this pertinent background material, you will understand that New Age Citizen is not interested in either racism or xenophobia. We really want to leave the United States, and the rest of the planet, in better shape than we found it when we arrived. But to do this effectively we also need to understand things as they are and not how we would prefer these things to be.
For the last few years I have assembled a number of policy planks and packaged them under the title "New Agenda for America." Here is the current set of planks:
(1) Universal Health Care for All American Citizens (2) A 20-year moratorium on all immigration into the United States (3) Legal Marijuana for all Adults and Medical Patients (4) An immediate reversal to the Offshoring and Inshoring of American Jobs (5) A strict enforcement on issues of Separation of Church and State (6) An immediate move from so-called Free Trade Agreements to Bilateral Trade agreements (7) A major R&D project to bring energy independence to the United States and the World through recycling, reuse, ending hyper-consumerism and investing in the development of sustainable energy sources (e.g., solar, photovoltaic, wind, geothermal) (8) Increasing the "minimum wage" to a "living wage" (9) Replacement of the "Federal Reserve" with a "People's Reserve" which has Congressional oversight.
Between now and the next presidential election (November 4, 2008) I am planning to take this agenda on the road by presenting it live through a series of lectures. The main purpose will be to pressure the main party candidates to embrace and endorse all political planks. I may also run as a "write-in" candidate though I have absolutely no serious illusion that there is any chance of me winning.
If you agree with most of the agenda I encourage you to share my website with you friends and families. Specifically, I would recommend that they all get on our mailing list so that we can alert them to new content at our website. We are in the midst of the destruction of the American Middle Class by a powerful group of Global Elitists. It is not happening through some hidden conspiracy. Rather it is happening right before our eyes through various forms of social engineering that are being orchestrated by the world's largest banks and corporations. The most visible manifestation of this can be observed by reading about the North America Union that is being implemented below the media radar stream and is being implemented with total disregard of Constitutional process. In addition it is being pushed forward by our Congressional representatives that are committing treason through their continued silence.
The following YouTube Video has the Editor of New Age Citizen, Bruce W. Cain, describing an overview to the "New Agenda for America": [originally referred to as the "New Age Agenda"]:
"New Agenda for America" will become a slogan for referring to the set of policy positions that NAC will be promoting in the coming years. It refers to a disturbing trend whereby our elected representatives appear to be increasingly at odds with the values of the founding fathers of this country (e.g., Washington, Franklin, Jefferson) and the American people.
To get this off the ground I am creating a frames based page which will allow my visitors to both understand the rational behind New Age Citizen as well as the preliminary agenda for "New Agenda for America." I will place a link to this at the top right hand corner of the homepage for now. You can take a quick look by clicking below:
The Editor of New Age Citizen, is considering giving a series of lectures that challenge the current "Demopublican" plutocracy with policy alternatives that are more to the interests of the American working class. The first lecture in the series will most likely address the current Immigration Reform measures that are being debated both in Congress and on the streets of America. I may even bring my guitar to break things up a bit. Expect this to happen around January 2008.
Lecture #001: No More Immigration: Legal or Illegal
This lecture will address the virtual propaganda surrounding the current immigration debate. It will expose the larger agenda that is intent on destroying the middle class by attempting to merge the United States into a "North American Union" consisting of Mexico, Canada and the United States. The primary argument against immigration focuses on the inability of the United States to provide adequate sustainable resources for the 200 million additional immigrants that will exceed the carrying capacity of this great country by 2050. The lecture will conclude that the best interests of legal American citizens will be served by implementing mandatory employer Social Security checks; punishing employers with extreme prejudice and putting an end to all Legal/Illegal immigration until the real wages of Americans is at or beyond what they were at their apex in 1973. If you live in SE Michigan and are interesting in attending one of these activist lectures please send an email to get on our lecture list.
In addition to these lectures I am considering staging a demonstration against further immigration and Bush's agenda to destroy the American working class. More on that in the near future. Lastly, if you know of any Anti-Immigrant Demonstrations, anywhere in the US, let me know. I will begin to post these on the website.
