The show he became interested in was �Hercules: The Legendary Journeys� with the particular episode named simply �Revelations.� As the show came to its conclusion, even though it may not be �manly� to admit to it, the writer cried. He cried for reasons that he hopes to make apparent in this essay as to revelations that came to him as he watched the show.

Whether or not the following is myth, or just the fiction of some writer, the show presented the Four Horsemen as beings that could unleash petulance, famine, plaque, and death on Mankind for having failed to develop respect for his fellow beings. These represented the four elements, fire, earth, wind, and water, elements that are dominant in many, shall we say, primitive spiritualism.

The end result was that �Light� was testing mankind to determine whether or not man had developed enough respect for his fellow being to continue living on Earth, to continue existing as a species. If only one person showed he would give his life for his fellow beings, then �Light�, which the writer presumed was God, would not release the Four Horsemen, that Man would be able to continue developing. The task, since it was Hercules�s show, fell upon Hercules, played by Kenneth Sorbo. And he did sacrifice his life in order to stop Death and what would have been the total annihilation of Man.

What is noteworthy that with all the studying the writer has done, nothing brought home the great risks Mankind faces as evil is allowed to dominate the Earth. Nothing has brought home the probability that things cannot continue as they have without extreme events unfolding that are likely to kill billions of people, that, in fact, Armageddon may have to be accepted as the destiny of Man.

The source of the evil causing this does not come from the hearts of 99 percent of the people on Earth - it comes from those lacking hearts who are controlling behind the scenes, from back alleys, so to speak, from behind closed doors, and always hiding behind fictitious campaigns known as �for the good of the people�, �for the good of the children�, �for safety�, �for family values�, �for the improvement of education�, and so on. Every reader is familiar with the rhetoric.

And rhetoric is all that it is. All the seemingly well-meaners in government and otherwise, speak only to hide the real truth, the real motivations behind their bogus wars against crime, against drugs, against ignorance, against immorality, against unethical business practices, and our armies placed in other countries.

The lies concerning energy dominate. Truth in energy is as forgotten a concept as is morality in government. Solving the energy problems, which were manufactured to begin with and nothing more than yet another ploy of deceit, is used to present to the people that those in control are compassionate, caring human beings when nothing could be further from the truth.

Lies concerning morality and family values infuse their beings with factual values being the exact opposite of the rhetoric they spout. Recall the vendetta against Clinton. It is common knowledge that the few who pushed and pushed to destroy Clinton were practicing the same or worse than Clinton. This included such ring leaders as Gingrich and Burton. But, now, as of the last I read about it, Gingrich gets $50,000 for each speaking engagement while Burton is still in office. Don�t figure.

If every politician was scrutinized as closely as the Clintons were, it is guaranteed that nearly all would have been engaging in actions at least as bad, and for far too many, worse than Clinton, whether it be in business dealings, campaign contributions, sexual encounters, bias bought by special interests, voting for legislation they have no idea of what it says, helping to perpetuate the frauds of income tax, social security, firearm laws, federal laws applied to the people of the 50 States, unconstitutional laws made and enforced through the use of force and fear of retribution for doing no more than exercising God-given rights, and all other legislation intended to remove the rights of the people and install complete oppression by a government that could care less about the rights of the people.

Of course, meeting the goals of coercion and destruction of the morality of people has been a project for the past 24 presidents and those who backed them, primarily the Federal Reserve owners and their world-wide ties with other super rich. You see, morality and faith are the enemies of those who would oppress. It has always been so and will always be so - at least, if mankind survives.

Taking a look at the destruction of morality just in my lifetime reveals some shocking facts. When growing up, the word sex could not be said in public, and most felt uncomfortable saying it even in same-sexed conversations.

It was not permitted to use the word �pregnant� - it was �in the family way� or �expecting.� In fact, a major happening was Lucy becoming pregnant while the �I Love Lucy� show was in prime time and, believe it or not, Wilma Flintstone of �The Flintstones� becoming pregnant. Couples on television could not be other than fully clothed, even when ready for bed. Twin beds were all that were acceptable.

Wonder Woman wore a most drastic costume when it was in primetime but now it would seem she is over-dressed. The cheeks of her butt (another word that couldn�t be used back then) couldn�t be seen nor could her labia majori be made out through her costume. Compare that to a tame show by today�s standards, Baywatch. Or, to panty and bra commercials. Heck, compare to commercials advertising totally unrelated products to sex but use sex to induce people to use the product. You know, �use this product and you will be like the model in the commercial or you will get women or men like the one in the commercial to like you.�

Movies had a little more leeway but not a whole lot. Never was there nudity or near nudity although there were a few instances of nipples seen through night clothes in movies and unrevealing sleepwear except for legs, occasional stomachs, and slight cleavages.

Words such as vagina, dick, penis, ass, breasts, tits, and so on are used regularly even in prime time. Acts such as oral sex, giving or getting head, doing it, the �F� act, intercourse, gay behaviors and so on are common knowledge for most grade school kids. In fact, many schools have classes andclass projects on sex acts, both heterosexual and homosexual. For certain, the world of sex and human sexuality largely taboo in the 40s, 50s and 60s while the writer was growing up is now commonly used as substitute for a great story line and acting. A great exciting world of discovery for us that was normally done by probably 90 percent of the population in private.

In relation to this, what did the Clinton vendetta really accomplish? What did bringing out the activities of Clinton with that Lewinski woman do for this nation? Since the sexual activities of leaders had prior to this been essentially taboo, there can be only one �reason�, to appear as if attempting to destroy Clinton while sneaking in liberty-stealing legislation, with the secondary benefit of the further destruction of morality and the family unit. Or, vice versa.

Kind of - �Keep their attention on scandal and we can pass anything we want. And, since we know so many are concerned about �family values� and live lives based on faith, we can further erode these concepts that tie people together into a cohesive unit.�

This is not to say that there have not been cases of scandal but there were usually concerned with minor leaders or leaders after they left office. But, the Republican party and its many media supporters made public the activities of the one in the highest public office. The vendetta was against the President of the United States and it went on and on for over five years while the others were dropped immediately, if not sooner. A few effects are noteworthy. Grade school and junior high kids the writer has been around talk about head as if it isn�t even a sex act, that it is okay since one can�t get pregnant for it, that one remains a virgin, or that it is just fine to not be a virgin even though 10 or 11 years old, that is okay to use objects such as cigars for sex play, and so on.

Suddenly, gays in public office were �coming out� and some of the most vocal speakers against Clinton got caught with their pants down when it was discovered they had done worse. A prime example was Dan Burton, R of Indiana, who not only had had many sexual encounters but had fathered a bastard child. Why wasn�t he hung in effigy along with Clinton? �Why, he just made a mistake or whatever. Pure political garbage but that is what most now expect from those who should exhibit the highest of moral and ethical standards.�

Publicized infidelity among officials is as common as the sun rising everyday. It is just as common in soap operas, movies, television, sit coms, and other means of conveying it to the people of this nation. It now almost seems as if it is the norm, and possibly it is. Thus, the moral fabric of morality has been further destroyed.

We even now have a person in the oval office who has been documented to have paid for abortions for women he has impregnated, that used cocaine for most of his late-teen and adult life, was AWOL from his military obligation for a year, has been in many shady business dealings including violated SEC rules, committed adultery many times, and possibly got into and through college by way less than ethical means. And, now this amoral, unethical, rather despicable person in the writer�s mind sits in the oval office.

His lack of command of the English language is treated as a source for jokes rather than the sad state of public education. And, even though this person can barely spell �education�, if he can, that is, now he, and his media puppets present education reform as if he is an expert on how to educate the youth of America.

Since it is what so many seem to accept as improvement, all that will be accomplished is that additional money will be spent on education. As before the additional money will do nothing except assure to the federal government that it, and the controlling faction behind it, will continue controlling the rate of illiteracy currently produced, 50 percent as of January, 1995, and continue with its indoctrination process against the liberties of man.

What is so sad is that the public doesn�t even seem to mind having such a perverse, incompetent individual representing them to the world. This, more than anything else, clearly shows that when it comes down to the bottom line, the depth of destruction of family values, and, simultaneously, the success the those whose only desire is to control all people have had.

Control, oppression, is the goal of those despicable elite who want to remove every human right from all others. Of course, the means of controlling people is to control property. If one does not have the right to own property, then one cannot be free as all that is done is done for those who control the property. This was the medieval design. Poorly educated masses is the key to establishing control. Keep the people ignorant and we can establish control with them thinking we are doing good things for them.

So, our great leadership way back when, beginning with Honest Abe Lincoln, who spoke great rhetoric of freedom, was anything but for the freedom of people in practice. Just a note, but to those who still insist Lincoln was a great hero for freedom, such as Jack Kemp, his actual practices should be looked at, not his rhetoric to the public. One can say anything but do otherwise. Most of us call this lying.

To gain control, governments must gain control of property. Thus, the intent to steal it through the taking of people�s hard earned money, graduated "income" tax directly laid on the people. Same as the kings of old demanding people�s property. Gestapo Germany did it as have all other dictatorships and other tyrannical governments.

And, then, the tax on private real estate and other property, as if any citizen of the United States of America has to pay any level of government for his property. What a rip-off. Don�t pay, though, and supposedly benevolent governments will take your property. The true owner is the government, not the individual. The individual simply provides the upkeep and pays rent to the government for the privilege of doing so, whether it be tangible as in automobiles or real estate, as in land and a house.

In order to fool the people, education must be controlled. Thus, the government entered into the realm of public education in order it could indoctrinate the public and selectively keep the people ignorant of facts and, for over 50 percent of the public, not help them become adequate readers, let alone profuse readers. Other governments also did the same. We know them as the evil called communism.

Children are not taught the structure of the nation as it was founded but are instead taught the lies permeating from a government intent on controlling every facet of people�s lives. False information is given, including concerning taxation, separation of powers, the purpose of government, that expanding government is good, and the same facts taught to other oppressed peoples.

Drugs and the use of drugs began filling movies, role models� use of drugs began being publicized, the �in crowd� was made up of those who used drugs, much as in days of old, maritinis and scotch were presented as the choice drinks of the wealthy and those in the know. Or, the use of beautiful people as smokers and all.

Anyway, to be one of the crowd with peers, kids began experimenting to greater and greater degrees with drugs. When I was growing up, few used any drugs besides cigarattes and alcohol. I have written of this before and will not bore with it again. But, anyway, the manner in which drugs have been portrayed has resulted in, first, knowledge that the drugs existed, and, two, that a person isn�t with it unless he tries it. Peer pressure created by a form of advertising, movies, television, magazines, newspapers, and other forms of the media gave the drugs free advertising. And, it was most effective.

In the 60s the writer seems to recall there were about 4,000,000 known drug users or those who had tried some drug such as marijuana or heroine with a population of about 240,000,000 in the United States of America. Now, I believe it numbers in the 50 millions that have tried drugs, maybe even as high as 87 million, and with a population of less than 300,000,000 (I think - haven�t seen the results of the 2000 census since it made me mad with all the questions that I refused to answer. The census lost it purpose,also, which is only to count heads and no more.)

For certain, the numbers of kids in school who have tried drugs other than alcohol and nicotine now number in the millions more over those who had tried taboo drugs in the 50s and early 60s.

First, in regards to drugs, people who become hooked on drugs often lose drives that would result in leading far more productive lives. Incentives to excel are lost. In order to support their habits, they often have to turn to means of obtaining what have been unconstiutionally declared as �illegal� by the federal government. Thus, the person using drugs recreationally who may never have harmed another person in his life is now in the category of �criminal.� And, he is treated as such.

Second, when the federal government unconstitutionally declared alcohol as illegal, it began a campaign against the freedom of people that led to killings, invasions of private property and private lives by the dreaded �revenuers� or other feds who had no business even being in the many states of the union.

Crime ran rampant as people who wanted to keep drinking had to have a source for alcohol. Hence, the mobs who could get the drug into the country and make it available. Now, any of you who believe Washington and other politicians quit drinking and refused to do so because of prohibition, please stand.

Anyway, every day people who enjoyed alcohol were made into criminals overnight. They were treated as criminals when caught, public property was invaded by the feds, innocent people were shot and killed during the raids on alcohol, and - well, just like what is going on right now.

Was this drug made illegal �for safety�, for the �good of the children�, and all the other lame excuses now spouted by drug control advocates? Not hardly. It was made illegal so that the government could invade the states and prove they could get by with applying federal law to the states. It was also done in order to establish controls over a drug they had no right to control.

Thus, it is still treated as illegal for a citizen to make and sell alcohol without proper tribute paid to the federal and state governments. Illegal - yes. But, unlawful by the Constitution - Not hardly.

Prohibition lasted long enough for the control and invasion by federal bureaus to be established and then the 21st Amendment repealed prohibition. But, the myth of the feds being able to control remained.

Although it is not well known, the so-called �illegal� drugs harm far less people than alcohol and nicotine. In fact, both are far more dangerous in terms of life than all the other drugs put together. So, why are they fraudulently made illegal? Well, again not well-known, the federal government deals in drugs. In fact, it may be the largest dealer on Earth. Reagan and Bush both knew. During Reagan's administration, cocaine was basically introduced and pushed in Los Angeles by the CIA, an operation fully known by those in high offices in government.

Now, also not well-known, most of the powers that be behind the scenes are extremely prejudiced. There are prejudiced against blacks and those of other races of color. Thus, the black population was targeted. Plus, there is this. Keep blacks and whites separate and it effectively decreases the power of the people. Fill the prisons with primarily blacks and keep the prejudice alive since it appears all whites are focused on nailing blacks even though many hundreds of thousands of users and dealers are white.

Create cause for additional strife between gangs and among gangs. Keeping drugs illegal keeps the price extremely high in comparison to actual value. Thus, high prices and extreme profits attract people to become criminals by selling.

As the competition for the extremely high profits increases in intensity, then so does the competition to control areas. Thus, more intergang wars, and intra gang wars, which kill and keep furthering the perpetuation of prejudice.

Plus, as innocents are killed by stray bullets and the like during these wars, government has the excuse to step up its invasions into the privacies of citizens by increasing the numbers of federal anti-drug troops. Perpetuate the myth of illegal drugs serves in this sense as a means of aggression by the federal government into the states.

Furthermore, it has what it believes it can pass off to the majority of people an excuse(s) for monitoring the privacies of people, including tapping phone lines, computer communications, cell phones, private conversations, infrared scans on people�s homes and activities, and so on. It is all for your good and we are just fine and great heros for protecting you against crime.

What a crock. If the crimes hadn�t been manufactured, there would be no need. Plus, no matter the excuse, the federal government nor any other, should ever have the right of invasion based on false or potentially false premises.

Speaking of crime, what about the tie between the war against crime and the war against drugs? First of all, the writer suspects that the majority of crimes are committed in order to get enough money to satisfy drug habits and to maintain control in the drug trade. If the amount of drugs is controlled, with the high risk factors currently present, then the cost of the drugs stays high. This results in people who would not commit crimes committing them in order to be able to buy and use the drugs.

Conversely, if the drugs were legalized, then the cost would diminish to next to nothing because people could in many cases either grow or make their own, or buy in a competitive market. Crimes would therefore decrease.

But, the government would lose its excuses for the invasions of privacy that are going on, including the so-called necessity to track people, to number them, and the many forms of monitoring and control it uses with apparent impunity.

Speaking of wars - why have we been in wars? Was it to protect our shores? To protect liberty as we knew it? Or was it for far more sinister reasons, including establishing world control through the blood on millions spilled directly or indirectly by governments.

Why the necessity to develop chemical and biological warfare? How will these protect your rights and our shores? Isn�t it far more likely such tactics are to insure that millions can be killed with little effort? And, what would the benefit to governments be for killing millions? The same as always - to (quote)(unquote) justify establishing such world police forces and government such as those now being exhibited by the United Nations.

Even though the government knew about the Pearl Harbor bombing in advance, it let it go on. Why did it do that? So that the American people would get outraged and willingly enter into a war that was not threatening these shores otherwise.

Why were American bankers and the like supporting the Nazi movement? Again, this was part of the plan to attempt establishing a one world government. With the projected casualties concerning the Nazi�s actions against the Jews, it was thought the outrage would develop that would gain support for the people of this country to willingly support the war effort. When it failed to do so, then the above bombing took place.

This could go on and on but suffice it to say, that anything the government determines is necessary to establish totalitarian control over our people and all peoples on Earth will be done. It has no qualms about killing millions if that is what it takes. It will use weapons of mass destruction, including explosive types, chemical, and biological. Do not ever presume otherwise and lower your guard.

That is the world of the year 2001 - at least for now. But somehow, this writer expects the worst is still to come.

Live well and prosper but make damned sure you do not turn your back on those who are said to make up the Federal Government.
