I favor the use of the term "shadow government" to refer to the conspiracy

that most of us perceive is our adversary. My own study, and conversations

with a number of insiders, indicates the following provisional conclusions:



(1) It is a conscious conspiracy, not just "emergent behavior", although

emergent behavior has been a part of its evolution and operates at lower

levels.



(2) Insiders themselves use the term "shadow government".



(3) While many or most of the members of organizations like the CFR,

TLC, World Bank, etc., may be involved at some level, such organizations

serve only a supporting role. They are not central, even though a few

of their members may be.



(4) "New World Order" is probably not the term used by the shadow government

to refer to their strategic plan. It appears to have been invented by

conspiracy theorists, and its use detracts from our credibility.



(5) The structure of the SG is complex, much more so than that of, say, the

Soviet Communist Party, which it most closely resembles. It appears likely

that even many of those in the core of the SG are unsure of its organization

chart, which may be subject to constant breakdown and reinvention.



(6) The SG is a 24-hours-a-day, 7-day-a-week operation. Its important

decisions are not made at occasional meetings of organizations like the

CFR, TLC, or whatever.



(7) The SG has factions. It is not monolithic. It is also fragile, depending

on secrecy and fear. If people stand up to it, they more often than not

back down rather than risk a confrontation that could get out of hand.



(8) There are two major currents within the SG: sincere concern about a

perceived threat which feeds on itself, and greed for power and wealth which

feels threatened. There is tension between these two currents, sometimes

resulting in paralysis or conflict.



(9) There are some very real threats looming that support a case for much

of what the SG is doing. Not all of it a bad thing for humanity in the

long term, if it were done right. The problem is that those thus motivated

don't trust the people.  Unfortunately, the solutions will require the

willing cooperation of the people, a cooperation that cannot be compelled

and cannot be sustained through propaganda or deception. There is also a

problem of groupthink. The SG operates in an environment that does not

permit the kind of open play of ideas that is needed to avoid serious

screwups. They are screwing up. This is the single most important reason

to reform the situation. WE ALL HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER TO SOLVE THE VERY

REAL THREAT TO HUMAN CIVILIZATION. Left to themselves, they are doing to

drag us all down to disaster.



(10) The core of the SG appears to be in the US and in its intelligence,

military, and industrial establishments, even though its reach is worldwide.

It suffers from a typical military mentality. Systematic but not very

imaginative. Distrustful of true brilliance or independence of mind.

Likely to be paralyzed if something totally unexpected occurs, which is

very likely. Uncomfortable with uncertainty, and inclined to impose more

certainty on a situation than the available information will support.

Overly concerned about secrecy, even when dealing with situations in which

there is no one from whom any secrets can usefully be kept, to the extent

that intelligence doesn't get effectivly used to guide decisionmaking.



(11) There appears to be some factional ambivalence within the SG on the

matter of disarming the people vs. reviving the constitutional militia.

There may be a growing realization that attempting to disarm the people

not only won't work, but may very well bring down their house of cards.

They are looking with interest on our militia efforts, seeking perhaps

to find ways to control it and use it form their own purposes.  That might

not be an entirely bad thing, especially since control would work both

ways.



(12) Finally, UFOs and aliens seem to be involved. Perhaps only as a

manufactured opportunity/threat, but more likely the people in charge of

dealing with the matter are using a real situation to expand their

power, perhaps to the extent that those are the core of the SG, even

over the key people in the financial community. We need to expose all

of this.
