Timeline: Now

History Repeating

Some recent leaders of the past have left their knowledge for us to decipher about our present state of affairs. They are worth looking at now, so I quote Eisenhower, MacKenzie King, and Lincoln. All of these men have left their mark on the experiment of democracy. I place them chronologically;

Eisenhower farewell speech 1961
“This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence-economic, political, even spiritual-is felt in every city, every state house, every office of the Federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society.
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. “

The Right Honourable W.L.MacKenzie King,
Prime Minister of Canada (1934)

"Once a nation parts with the control of its currency and credit, it matters not who makes the laws.Usury once in control will wreck any nation.
Until the control of the issue of currency and credit is restored to government and recognized as its most conspicuous and sacred responsibility, all talk of the sovereignty of Parliament and of Democracy is idle and futile."

letter from Lincoln to Col. Wm. F. Elkins, Nov. 21, 1864
"We may congratulate ourselves that this cruel war is nearing its end. It has cost a vast amount of treasure and blood. . . . It has indeed been a trying hour for the Republic; but I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. As a result of the war, corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed. I feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety of my country than ever before, even in the midst of war. God grant that my suspicions may prove groundless."

These men can all be considered honorable and “for the people”. We see in the dates that history is definitely repeating itself, as we are dealing with the same historical problem of hierarchal control of the people through economy. Dekanawida was the founder of true democracy and he also left his words for us to decipher. He called the hierarchy “serpents” , of different colours, but all essentially have the same agenda. To usurp the power of the individual and place it in the hands of a few men.

It is only because you as an individual, give the power of your free mind to them, that they have any power at all. There have been so many wise men who have left us their knowledge throughout the ages. Our Peacemaker said we shall see the reign of the serpents end when the second sun returns to our skies. Of all the wise men he is the smartest, in my opinion.

Soon you shall all see the return of the skyworld and it will signal a time of renewal for our earth family. Let us stand as brothers and plant a tree of peace with roots that extend to the four corners of the world. We can eliminate evil, war and greed.

Unity, Strength, Peace,
