Upcoming 33rd Anniversary of 9/11 1990 New World Order Speech (22nd Twin Towers)
Winston Churchill is by far one of the smartest politicians ever in modern written history, in my opinion. He was more than a politician; he was the prophet of politicians. I say this based on more than my opinion, but off a direct quote from him. And to back his quote, he himself seems to be one of those who could "see into the future."
"Politics is the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn’t happen."
This tells me that he was an individual that had a strong gut feeling, some call intuition, for patterns of the distant to recent historical past, as well as a comprehensively deep understanding of the present situations and the trajectory of where those patterns would take "them" or "us" (us because the core elements of his mind, theories and concepts are true even now) in the future if policy, laws and movements were not re-directed to change the future into something better and less evil. First you have to see it (as he did with Hitler) before you can stop or reverse the process (NAZIs taking over Europe).
Along the same lines as the above statements, he is also quoted as saying,
"The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see." People don't change and neither does dangerous ideology, only the names of the people and dangerous ideology change.
"Politics is the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn’t happen."

And where would Europe and the USA be without Churchill's insight and influence? What if he had the insight, but was not given the influence? Germany probably would have taken over all of Europe.
He also understood that most people rather stick their heads in the sand than tackle the responsibility of reflecting and acting on uncomfortable truths as shown in his following wise words:
"Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened."
I wrote two books, one a tome (that no one would have read) and the other a fictionalized version of the tome that I felt would be more attractive to the public and more effectively get the word out. I asked two reputable and scholarly men whom I trusted to read and edit since I have no formal higher college degree, and both said they would not have the time. But, completing the task was not their fault, it was my own. Even with several serious setbacks and stumbles in my life, if only I had remained focused, the book or books could have been completed. This is something that I will have to live with the rest of my life, as it was my sincere heart's desire to get it out years ago and as they say, "Save the World" from what is coming. Many of the events that I predicted years ago have already come true. Some of these predictions regarding China, not Russia, you can see in a series of videos that I uploaded over ten years ago.
In my books, I discussed the fall of the wall of communism as being a complete farce. I saw it well before 2008 when I posted my thoughts on it being a farce back in the earlier days of Facebook. Literally seconds after posting my firewall started going crazy and popups were telling me that my computer firewall was under attack. This was back in the day when Zone alarm literally told you the name of the file and virus that was attacking you. I did a search online for virus and the two attacks were affiliated with software created and owned by a Russian Moscow based software company that at that time had offices all down the East Coast from New York to Atlanta, Georgia. One was a spyware program and the other a keyboard logger. I remember asking myself even way back then why would our intelligence community allow a Russian software company, particularly one that created spyware and keyboard loggers, to even have one office in the United States, much less over a dozen. I remember the pre-Clinton days and prior to Google earth when if you owned a GPS, its accuracy was scrambled to only 100 meters. This makes sense to me. Pubic accessed satellite images were few and fuzzy. Now, the owners of Google who are recent descendants of Moscow, Russian immigrants, have it so as anyone can just about zoom in on a car tag and read the numbers, and in some cases the AI doesn't even blur the tag numbers.
So, seeing patterns and trajectories come true in the future builds confidence in your intuition but when these trajectories and truths come true, it isn't necessarily a pleasant thing in that sometimes these things are not good and when there is yet time for some other far more catastrophic things to come true that you have seen beforehand, and those things are very bad, the knowledge of your past successful projections into the future become frightening. And it feels like you can only stand by helplessly and complain about it. The truth is it is sometimes better to be left in the dark which leads to a more peaceful disposition but that will not fix the problems, reverse damage done or divert the future into something better and more stable.
That said, my gut is telling me some things that I am hoping is completely wrong about the upcoming 2023 anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. To my knowledge, these ideas, patterns, connections and affiliations are original and mine alone.
9/11/23 is the 33rd anniversary of George HW Bush’s “New World Order" speech to Congress and 22rd anniversary of (exactly eleven years later) Rockefeller's twin towers being hit by terrorists, while David Rockefeller smoked a cigar and watched it in real time from one of his adjacent high rises (I read this confession by this narcissist bragging about it in his Memoirs by the self-proclaimed internationalist banker David Rockefeller). The terrorists, I believe were given intelligence and help by the Russians/Chinese and/or an American organization infiltrated by Russians and/or Chinese such as the Rockefeller Center (which has very strong historical CCP ties) or a sister organization. Eleven years after that (to the day) the Benghazi attacks occurred. This year of all years is the 33rd anniversary of George Bush’s speech. A few months after George Bush’s speech he gave another speech clarifying what he meant by NWO and discussed that the goals and dreams of the founding members of the United Nations were about to be realized. My question is “Who were the founding members of the UN (the Rockefellers who lobbied and donated the land?) and how long have they been dead and who has replaced this initial power structure?” Even though I am not big into numbers or numerology or symbols, I recognize that to some people certain numbers and symbols that have very special significance. Thirty-three (33) is one such number. Nine (9) is divisible by three (3), three (3) times and eleven (11) years apart equals thirty-three (33).
He also understood that most people rather stick their heads in the sand than tackle the responsibility of reflecting and acting on uncomfortable truths as shown in his following wise words:

Thirty-three (33) is one such number. Nine (9) is divisible by three (3), three (3) times and eleven (11) years apart equals thirty-three (33).
To my knowledge I am the only person concerned about the potential patterns leading up to the upcoming anniversary of Bush’s 9/11 1990 NWO speech, the 9/11 2001 twin tower attacks and the 9/11 2012 Benghazi attack and the upcoming 9/11 2023 potential attack (33 years total). I did notice one of the planes that pulled people out of Afghanistan last year had the identification number 1109 on the side (what are the odds 1109 = 0911?). Fact, not conspiracy. A bunch of Afghans were chasing the plane, climbing on the outside as it was moving, and some fell off mid-flight. I have asked the question many times about whether or not the clear publicly available knowledge of the disorder of that pull out was strategic and intentional and whether or not the plan and goal was to bring unvetted terrorists who trained in the sands of Afghanistan completely out of reach of the radar of our intelligence community in Afghanization came here with a plan for the upcoming 33rd anniversary of the 1990 NWO speech to Congress on 9/11/23. If I were in the Intelligence Community, I would look into every single person who came back that day and keep an eye on them. The answer is that I don’t know, but I hope that I am completely wrong or that our intelligence community has seen this pattern also and stops any potential terrorist (Chinese/Russian) plan. Whatever the case, this the 33rd year after the initial twin tower attack is full of troubles, much talk and preparation of war and things appear to be escalating to an apex of something. Is there an organization or state out there who feels the 33rd year will be the capstone attack and fulfilment of their plan?
So hopefully these numbers are all just a coincidence instead of a strategic pattern with purpose, but my fear is that the people who put the idea of a NWO in George Bush’s head actually had a different kind of NWO in mind; one that the US wouldn’t play a role in running. The truth is that Gorbachev discussed the New World Order at the UN General Assembly meeting in Manhattan in 1988, several years before Pres. Bush but only Bush seems to get the credit by our media and other outlets (questionable in itself). We were led to believe that the NWO was Bush's idea when it appears he was following someone else's lead instead of being a leader himself. What that means is that if you are not the leader, it is someone else's long term vision that will come into being. Gary Hart stated several times in one of his books (did he know and was he a part of it? After all, he did have a weakness for women and spent months and months over years in Moscow and writing for a major Moscow based newspaper) that perhaps Gorbachev had a blueprint. And, I don't believe it was a blueprint to be a passive or submissive country. Even after the fall, he was quoted as being a dedicated Socialist. Lenin believed in world communism and spoke of it often. The Soviet KGB clearly understood that a person with "charisma" can be used as a tool to infiltrate and destroy the enemy better than bombs can. Even the Greeks in their quest to conquer Troy were aware of a "Trojan Horse" strategy of giving "gifts." Charisma is a tool that is of the same Trojan Horse nature as it slips in undetected and takes off the guard of its enemies. The story of Sampson in the Bible speaks of even the secrets that destroyed him were willingly given to his traitor bride through his weakness of love and trust. Look at what Henry Kissinger accomplished with his intelligence and charisma by advising so many of our former Presidents and intelligence agencies that if he were secretly affiliated with the old Soviet block of Germany, we would be in serious trouble. And we are. Look what our own government has allowed him to do as his private globalist consulting business, that by law, can never be audited by our own intelligence community. How is that possible? He consulted advice to other countries to help them "rise." This includes China and likely Russia as well. Even if our intelligence community thought that giving him that "inside scoop" might give them information, what if the information he was giving them was falsified or what if the things he told the Chinese helped them rise, build their cities, their military and their intelligence, so that one day that might come back and take over the world?
In order for Gorbachev's blueprint (that Gary Hart seemed all too fascinated with in his book) to happen, certain people had to be neutralized. In my opinion, James Jesus Angleton who ran the CIA counterintelligence program for many years, had to be fired and those who were being the firing were either heavily influenced by the Soviets or in alignment with them. I have watched this man and his words and body language very closely, and I am usually a good reader of body language, and this guy loved our country and, in my opinion, was telling the truth that were in serious danger as one system (communism) was attempting to take over our own culture and system in the world.
One of Angleton's beliefs align with my own, and I only recently the past two years realized that his ideas aligned with mine. All of these years, I thought that I was the only who to believe it, and that it was an original idea in my own head outside of the Soviets who internally were aware of their own strategy and this "Peace Trojan Horse" which was and is a lie. To this day they will lie and blame it on NATO expansion, but that's just a continual distraction of the truth - they were planning it all along.

To this day they will lie and blame it on NATO expansion, but that's just a continual distraction of the truth - they were planning it all along.
That is that the fall of the wall was a complete farce all along intended to strategically take our guards down (and it worked!) while the enemy secretly plotted to take over the world and at some point, make their move. Angleton acquired some of this knowledge from Anatoliy Golitsyn who wrote the books The Perestroika Deception and New Lies for Old. Golitsyn escaped the KGB and attempted to tell our own CIA of the Soviet plots to pretend to give up stake in the world order and have no desire to gain back past glories. In my opinion, all the mudslinging against these two men to discredit them was to destroy their influence because they were telling the truth. In effect, they were in the way and had to go. And the Soviets won. Let's face it, if Golitsyn was telling lies, why would the Soviets want him to go? Why would they want to take him out? Why would they want to neutralize him? Why would they want to neutralize Angleton?
J.R. Nyquist said it this way,“I have written many essays detailing the facts about this so-called “collapse of communism.” In all that time nobody wrote a detailed argument showing I was wrong. They just repeated slogans the communists had given them. In fact, those who warned about the coming fake collapse of communism – James Angleton and Anatoliy Golitsyn – were not dealt with by rational argument. They were libeled in books whose authors did the talk show circuit. They were dragged through the mud and called madmen by leading conservatives like William F. Buckley, Jr. But there was no rational argument against their true predictions of the future. Angleton and Golitsyn had been right. And now the end of the long range strategy is upon us.
Another escaped Soviet Spy, KGB defector, who was on to the Soviet's internal strategy, escaped the system, and later lectured at universities and gave television interviews was Yuri Bezmenov. This man would have to be discredited and neutralized also. Angleton's neutralization was to lose his job, influence and reputation with the CIA and the torment of having to live the rest of his life, drinking and thinking of the powers trying to take out the country and way of life that he loved so much. Golitsyn, to my knowledge, was in hiding and had protective cover until his death, but he and his ideas were neutralized by propaganda and discreditation. Yuri Bezmenov, I believe was neutralized by assassination when he went on a planned trip that the Soviet's became aware of to visit his child and divorced wife on Christmas. Reportedly, he suffered a heart attack or some nonsense, but I do not believe it, and even if it was, I believe he was given something to take him out that way. Everyone who knew of their plan and tried to stop it, had to be neutralized, one way or another.
We only have a little over four months to September 11th (33rd anniversary of twin tower attacks) to find out if it is all just a coincidence. BTW, Columbia University wrote the following piece and if there was ever a communist political university in the US, it is certainly Rockefeller influenced Columbia University, the university that I consider the very politically active World Communist University.
The unfortunate truth is that the majority of people's minds are lazy and try to dodge controversy, if possible, even if that means to believe lies that bring comfort and runaway from truth that brings discomfort. Love of country has to overcome these discomforts for the sake of the survival of our people and their peaceful and potentially prosperous way of life. At least the idea of having a good life brings about production. If everyone was equal and no chance of rising above, it would be a very boring and unproductive life, such as what happened to the Communist State-run economy of the Soviet Union. No one could rise above, and they knew it so all things were melancholy and all production in all sectors (unless you were a politician and corrupt) barely low level mediocre. The Soviets finally figured out the system was failing and even they turned their economy into a capitalistic one whiel retaining central power and communist politics, just as China figured it out when Kissinger pushed for them to enter the World Trade Organization, which long term and combined with Bill Clinton's policies of the 90s, crippled us all.
Months after President George HW Bush's speech to Congress about the NWO on 9/11/1990, he gave another speech about the NWO where he stated that soon the ideas and goals of the founding members of the United Nations would be realized. My question is whether these people (now dead, but whose organizations and monetary influence still likely exist through trusts and organizations etc.)? My second question is, "Were these people led by their idealism or was it their idealism of a new world order that allowed them to be easily influenced by the Soviet's and Lenin's idea of world communism? Or were they just downright criminals who wanted to see the US fall and lose its leadership position in the world?
And lastly, to quote Sir Winston (my biggest political hero of the past hundred years):
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."

What he is saying here is based on a similar quote of his when he surmised that calamity could have easily been prevented if things (laws, etc) were put into place well in advance, instead of waiting until the day the emergency comes and at that time issue knew jerk impulsive reactions that will require a lot of money, energy and bloodshed. While it is fantastic that Sir Churchill left behind his words and wisdom, I'm confident that he is now rolling in his grave that no one is listening to his very wise words.

Shadow's Free
by Dewayne Allday
12 November 2022
A dule of spying dove,
hovered out of reach,
above, else they be eaten,
by the Shadow.
They had watched a friend
get swallowed up as
Shadow's nose, mouth,
and friend pointed up,
dropped into Shadow's belly
in one triumphant gulp.
Excitement, freedom,
no more fences.
Admiration for wildness,
nature in uncompromised form,
perplexing perceived flaws,
all of which, cut into stone by
by natural dog bona fide laws;
unregulated, untamed,
and equally unapologetic
and forgotten by domestication.
Survival was a pack
that he had lost.
The dove hoped for kindness,
in their own way,
but kindness Shadow knew not.
His blood controlled him,
his nature remained with him,
so, he was dark, elusive,
untamable, and hence
even Peter Pan tossed him away.
Shadow never boasted;
wildness his only desire,
to eat, sleep, procreate
was to be free;
the only thing he knew
or would ever know.
Bonds with humans or
any human association
against his nature.
He simply is and
there was nothing else.
Wendy Darling was
no darling in his eyes.
Not in his blood was love,
but untamed wildness was.
Bad blood untamable, yet
that blood was his alone,
at no fault of him.
Blameless in his ferociousness,
he understood nature
when no one else did.
Only once he wagged his tail
upon crossing that
narrow bridge to hell.
At the crossroads was a sign
that pointed nowhere,
confusing all.
It simply said,
"Shadow Left,"
and below that,
"Hell to him was heaven."

"The Path to Power" by JD Flowers
The following four-page story was hand-written by JD Flowers of Sweet Water, Alabama on lined looseleaf paper with a 5-punched left margin. It is unknown whether he wrote it himself or copied it from a book or other media (there is no indication). Whatever the case, it was important enough to JD to handwrite a 4-paged copy on lined notebook paper which is now aged a nice yellow-brown color. Date unknown. The four pages are transcribed below. If anyone knows of a published source for this, please let me know.
"The Path to Power
One of the greatest drives in the heart of man is the desire for power. Used for good, this desire can bring happiness; or when used for selfish purposes, it can ruin a life. I have a story to tell of a young man who traveled on the path to power. He wasn't especially rich or intelligent. He had no special talent, or so he thought.
The boy was drifting on the highway when he came to a side road. At this point a sign had been erected upon a gate, saying, "To Power - Knock and enter." This was queer. Wasn't he on the wide, paved road that so many people before him had taken to success? The city of Pleasure and Good Times was ahead. Here was a narrow way promising power to its followers. He could not see beyond the promise unless he ventured through the gate. He could not follow this new road because of an immobilizing fear of the unknown, neither could he bring himself to drift farther.
It was a hard decision to make, this choice between two roads. Then quietly a voice from old Sunday School days seemed to whisper, "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." But I just want power. Do I have to do the rest? I want to be the strongest person in town - or do I? Do I really know the meaning of power?
Each day he searched out truth on what constituted genuine power. More and more he came to depend on the Bible as a guide in his studies. Gradually his desire for power grew into a passion to know the truth. "If I will ever be rid of this doubt, I must know the truth." "Are there really two kinds of power? In Psalms 62:11 I find 'Power belongs until God.' Lasting power is from above. The victories I win in life will depend upon how faithful I am to my God."
"Lord, I have been on the wrong way." He knocked upon the gate, which opened to the path to power.
Along this path he learned humility. "I will run," he thought, but the road was built of rough stones. He walked. When he would have sat on the grass to rest there were thorns. He could not do as he wished along this trail and get anywhere. Instead, he meekly accepted the existing circumstances and forged ahead.
Prayer and perseverance became the backbone of his journey. He first leane3d to pray when he was in trouble. Soon prayers of thankfulness were coming from his heart. Prayer provided strength for him to climb the many hills. Slowly fears began to disappear. He was not without temptations, but through ceaseless prayer many were overcome.
The path was not so isolated from the rest of the world that he lost contact with other people. Some were on the path; some were on the highway. Since his heart had been enclosed with a spirit of meekness, the man could see that his brother's eccentricities were no worse than his own. A love for and better understanding of his neighbor resulted. A desire to rid his life of those evil influences which would be a hinderance to observers was created. His new Christian love was really beginning to grow.
One night he had a dream. He had reached the center of a rocky peak overlooking green meadows and was in a deep study. He had come this far without learning for what purpose power is granted.
He cast his eyes across the fields and saw a flock of sheep, wandering aimlessly. No shepherd could be found. "I cannot leave their sheep alone and exposed to the perils of the night. I must care for them until the owner comes," and he arose to do his work.
This man has gained a new happiness in life, for he has received power from the Holy Spirit - power to serve."
