   Years ago, BADD and WERSE, two intelligent friends without spiritual development, had nothing constructive to offer mankind so they spent their time dreaming up, conspiring, massaging and organizing ways to control their fellow man, making him a virtual slave without his conscious knowledge.

   Their goal was to create an environment where they exercised total control over his creativity, productivity, finances, relationships,  travels, thoughts, health and liberties. To accomplish this required  hours of discussion and carefully thought out and slowly implemented plans, plus a great deal of creativity and the time to bring it all  together. They knew that in order to fool everyone they had to convince them that things were wrong, and then provide solutions for  the problems.

   BADD and WERSE had a major hurdle however. They wanted control of the  most productive and free country ever known, America, and they had to  somehow get around a well thought out Constitution controlling
 America’s government.

   The upside of these two was the fact that Americans were good honest  people, believing that everyone else was the same. Granted, a fine  quality, but it left them vulnerable. Since the vast majority of  Americans are busy trying to survive, be happy, productive and "free"  they probably won’t believe that the following conversations ever took  place, so I’ll leave it up to you: Is this fact or fiction?

               *********************************************

   BADD: Well, WERSE my friend, we have a major task, where should we  start?

   WERSE: As I see it we must get control of their money, food and  health. While we’re doing that we have to lower their education level and stifle their ability to apply common sense or reality to what’s  going on around them.

   BADD: Let’s start with money. First we get control of the money away  from government by creating an entity to take that burden off of  Congress. We can convince them that by letting us manage this task privately, they can personally become rich and the sleeping American  public won’t know what happened. We can make our system an  interest-bearing debt system, take control of the gold, and ultimately the country will go bankrupt trying to pay whenever we want. They’ll  give it to us for the cost of ink and paper and then we’ll loan it back to them with interest so they can run their country.

   WERSE: Do you really think that Congress and especially the American  people are really naive enough to fall for this?

   BADD: Sure, they believed the Civil War was about slavery, they’ll  believe this. Let’s give our new brainchild a catchy name. How about  the Federal Reserve System? The American folks will believe it’s part of their government since it’s Federal. They’ll rest comfortably knowing the country has a Reserve and they’ll think the System is  theirs for monetary control, not ours for people control.

   WERSE: Sounds pretty far-fetched to me, but go on. How can we get the  Ameri-can people to think they’re responsible for this debt?

   BADD: About the time America declares bankruptcy, which I estimate to be in the 1930s, and puts itself in our hands as receivers, we will  create two taxes and sell them as necessities for management of their beloved America. First, believe it or not, a tax on their labors where everything they do to create, live, and better themselves will be  taxed, and we can make it graduated so that the harder they work and the more they produce, the higher the tax. We can get away with this by teaching them that all men are created equal means that all men end  up with the same amount of money, regardless of how hard he works.

   Secondly, another tax disguised as a fund set up to support them in  their old age. We can stick both of these taxes to them because they love their country and they’ll believe that the tax on their labor will support their great and free nation. They’ll also believe that a  trust fund for their retirement years will benefit everyone. Let’s  name the first income tax and the second, Social Security. We can  issue everyone a social-surveillance number to tie them to these two  taxes.

   WERSE: Income tax will probably be OK, all we have to do is get a few attorneys to write six- or seven thousand pages of statutes so convoluted, contradictory and full of vague misrepresentations that the mere thought of comprehension will send people to our trained experts to help them comply.

   BADD: Right, and we can fool honest accountants into becoming certified by us and instead of keeping records for their clients,  they’ll keep records about their clients that we can use against them and then, listen carefully, their clients will pay them for it. And as long as we give the illusion that we’re helping them prepare for later  years, they won’t bother to do the arithmetic associated with investing 10 or 15 percent of their wages during their lifetime.

   WERSE: Sounds good, but since these people are sovereign citizens and their government has no power to lay such taxes, how can we fool them and make this happen?

   BADD: We have to assign them numbers and papers that will create the illusion that they are sovereign and feel that they owe it to their country to support our system. Let’s start at birth, we can issue them a certificate that proves they were born.

   WERSE: Hold on, do you really believe that someone holding a brand new baby will believe they have to get a piece of paper to prove the event?

   BADD: They have bought into everything else so far, let’s give it a try. Now the beauty of this thing is that when a baby is born we have the opportunity to create a brand new corporate entity on paper. We do this by capitalizing all the letters on this document the same as the baby’s name. When John is born we create a certificate for JOHN, and as long as we can deceive John into believing he is JOHN he will make himself responsible for all the statutes we can think of for JOHN. John will get a social surveillance number for JOHN. John will get a driver’s license for JOHN and a business license and any other thing we can dream up to get John’s wealth. In fact, John will even appear and plead for JOHN to our newly created victimless crime statutes
en-forced in our Admiralty courts and we can put John in jail if JOHN gets out of line, another benefit for us for having bankrupted America. All we have to do is make sure that John converts all of his God-given rights to JOHN’S government-given privileges and pays a fee, and also, sovereign citizen John must never realize that he is not the slave JOHN.

   WERSE: It will take quite a while for John to wake up to JOHN, which gives us plenty of time to get control of the major media and convince people that what we tell them is truth. And even though there will be a few Johns that wake up and try to expose their JOHNS we can simply  make up some new ad words to label him with. Besides, if John tries to tell the truth about JOHN it will be so unbelievable that people will think he’s nuts anyway. Regardless, let’s pick a few good words and have our media turn them bad. I would suggest patriot, sovereign citizen, anti-government, extremist, supremist, separatist, right-wing conservative, racist, militia and let’s be sure we fully destroy John  by passing a few laws that would make him a terrorist, because after all if he were to reveal JOHN to the masses we would be exposed to terror.

   BADD: That media control thing is great, we can use it not only to cover up the truth but to sell new lies as we think them up. As time goes on, I believe we will be able to get a-way even with murder in all forms, we can shoot innocent families, bomb buildings, crash airplanes, maybe even burn a church if they don’t agree with us, and
then use the media to blame it on the victims and John, who found out he wasn’t JOHN.

   WERSE: This is all fine, but we have to create many more ways to subdue the consciousness, empty the pockets, and maintain control of these Americans while at the same time making them believe they are free.

   BADD: We’ll alter one thing at a time, by identifying what is now prosperous to Americans and turn them to our favor. Here’s a simple one, seeds. A farmer now saves part of his harvest for seeds to start next year’s crop. Suppose we alter the seeds so they they won’t reproduce themselves. We could call them hybrid seeds and farmers would then have to buy new seeds every year from a corporation that we will form and BINGO! We have a new industry plus whenever we feel like it we could shut off the seed supply and food production. Another
little bonus would be that the food produced from these hybrid seeds won’t be as nutritious and people will experience more illness, making our medical corporations more profitable.

   WERSE: Speaking of farmers, they’re making a profit right now growing hemp and inexpensively producing paper, cloth and fuel oil from just this one crop. Suppose we use our media to associate hemp with its sister plant marijuana, declare marijuana a horrible, addictive, society-corrupting drug, outlaw it, and hemp farming too. This will open an opportunity to create new industries our way, make America dependent on petroleum products, give us a control of energy, and create synthetic fabrics at a higher cost. Later on we can introduce more addictive drugs to America, creating a new problem, and then offer the solution of a war on these drugs, fought by new agencies we will create. Over time, Americans will forget that hemp grows like a  weed and offers an endless non-polluting supply of inexpensive products.

   BADD: Let’s work on medicine and doctors. We know that the body will heal itself if properly nourished, so let’s teach Amer-icans to eat lots of junk to clog their arteries and eliminate essential elements the body needs to maintain itself. As we progress we can introduce all kinds of toxins into their food and water. We can get dentists to back us up when we poison their water with fluoride, and since there’s no money in safe water treatments, we’ll lace it with chlorine from our chemical companies. We can put all kinds of stuff in their food and call them preservatives. After they drink our water and eat our food for a few years, they’ll be sufficiently full of our poison to cause all kinds of diseases that the body can’t cope with, then we turn them over to doctors that have been taught in our controlled medical schools to treat the symptoms with our overpriced manufactured drugs rather than treating the disease itself with inexpensive alternatives allowing the body to heal.

   For instance, after some guy clogs his arteries with fat and has a heart attack, we will immediately sell him a bypass surgery, replacing several inches of arteries around his heart which we can rip from his own leg, fill him full of prescription drugs for the rest of his life (if any) and make him and his family responsible for payment of at
least $60,000. We will only get in trouble if this guy thinks and asks questions; such as are there any alternatives? Then he learns that chelation therapy and a healthy diet will clean out all of the many miles of veins, capillaries and arteries in his body including the few inches the doctors wanted to re-place, he keeps the artery in his leg where it obviously belongs, and he does all of this for about $6,000. We can easily fight this scenario by having our controlled media deny that any alternatives exist and when a doctor does discover the truth we’ll label him a quack and severely punish him financially, mentally and even physically. After all, if any of this gets out we would lose our gigantic money-making research foundations, societies and our hospitals and pharmaceutical companies would suffer. We can use many diseases in this manner to keep the healthy people donating out of fear, while the ill suffer and pay for treatments waiting for a cure that will never come. This will work for cancer, Alzheimer’s and any other horrors out there that could have easily been prevented in the first place. We can even go a little further and manufacture some new diseases to replace these when people catch on.

   WERSE: Wow, this is getting pretty involved and I see us losing control unless we can instill a constant fear in these people to keep them in line. First let’s make them responsible for knowing all the laws and then have all government entities from the federal to local level constantly make new laws on anything and everything. The result will be a mind boggling array of laws, ordinances, statutes and resolutions that they can’t possibly understand let alone comply with. With these in place we can always find some sort of violation for those who get out of line and lock them up. I guarantee they will try to comply since they live with the fear that they can easily be put in jail. Another thing we can do is keep a large supply of mind-altering illegal drugs on the street for several reasons, first of all we make big bucks from the sales and it will create more crime by those addicted, making people fearful and we can use this problem to pass even more laws against their liberties.

   I have a vision of us being able to search their homes without warrants and take their personal property without charging them with a crime. Also, let’s set up systems where their own neighbors can report on them and get paid for it regardless of whe-ther a crime exists or not. All of this should keep them nervous and on their toes. The stress generated from all this attempted compliance on their part will also benefit our medical industry. They must never realize that knowledge equals freedom.

   BADD: Another element necessary to what you just said is to change the role of America’s police. Right now they’re peace officers respected by the public, and as long as they are peace officers, America will be peaceful so let’s change them into law enforcement officers and make their jobs such that the public will fear them. Coupled with the volumes of laws that we create, this respected profession will quickly change to that of a revenue producer and we can keep them busy enforcing whatever we hand down. We must nurture this friction between the public and the police in order to keep them fearful of each other. We will also create police agencies at all levels of federal state and local governments, and overwhelm the public with the knowledge that damn near anyone with a government job will put them in jail and/or take their property. Now we’re getting somewhere, they not only fear criminals, we also have them fearing their government, our tax man,
their police and their neighbors.

   WERSE: You know that we also have to take the control of their children away from them in order to insure each new generation is a little more ignorant than the one before. We can form a federal education bureaucracy and then offer each state money to comply with our programs. If we structure it right, we can extract huge amounts of
money from the people in the states with an impressive array of programs and taxes, then give them back a small portion of their own money for their education systems. They will not only comply with our directives, they will also thank us for fleecing them. We are now in a position to dictate curriculum and behavior. For now, let’s call our new program Ghouls 2000, we can always give it a more subtle name later. We must eliminate any reference to the intent of America’s founding fathers, we can alter most events and call it revisionist history, never teach the Constitution and make it acceptable for the teachers to dwell on trivialities but never utter the words unalienable rights.

   We must teach the students that it is fine to not be able to read as long as they tried, and continue to exhibit prescribed group participation skills. They must never be given a clue about the existence of individuality or self-generated thoughts. We should also keep a government file on the child’s progress, but never allow the
parents to see it. This task will be easier for us as time goes on and both parents have to work in order to survive after paying all of our taxes and fees. Most will be too tired and without the time to realize what we are doing to their kids. We should also give the children the right to sue their parents and teacher so that discipline will not be an option at home or in school. We must pass laws against parents educating their own children, or we could lost this battle.

   BADD: While we are at it we better find a way to control what is taught in churches. If pastors, reverends, preachers and the like relate teachings in the Bible to our structured political control and money system, the people might wake up and realize what is happening to them. I would suggest that religion become disciplined and organized in a way acceptable to us. We can offer them a tax-exempt status in return for their adherence to our teaching guidelines, whereby congregations will be taught that the Bible is merely an entertaining story book. Any church that doesn’t cooperate will be labeled as a cult by our controlled media and we will have our law enforcement officers work overtime to publicly reprimand and punish those who get out of line.

   WERSE: Let’s be sure we take charge of John’s responsibilities and relieve him of his pride and dignity. We can start by creating many different welfare and handout programs, make it appealing and easy for him to become dependent on us, and make him believe that we are doing him a favor as he relinquishes everything he has before realizing that  it’s almost impossible to escape our hold. It will help maintain his servitude to us since he knows we will always be there to help. We can rely on the emotional side of Americans to help share the upkeep for  John, whether or not he’s capable of taking care of himself.

   But I think we’re getting ahead of ourselves, if we hope to pull this off we’ll need some morally deficient people in public offices. My thought would be to only allow JOHN to register to vote and let John cast his ballot after being exposed to a barrage of our national polls, telling him who we think is best and making him be-lieve that
he’s voting for the right person along with the majority. We must also control the tally by not allowing any votes to be counted at precinct level, and while we’re at it let’s get ride of those telltale paper ballots. I don’t think John will realize anything is wrong even though he’ll have a hard time finding anyone who participated in our polls or
voted for our winner. Besides that, all those who do wake up and the Johns who found out they aren’t JOHNS won’t vote anyway. We can put in who we want, when we want, where we want, and then everyone will think
that their neighbors did it. Just for a real test of this scam, in the 1990s let’s find the most morally defunct dirt-bag candidate we can and see if he becomes president.

   BADD: Next big problem, guns! These Americans are armed and because of that America is very peaceful. We must change this, but very carefully because if too many Johns realize they have been duped they’ll be a little bit upset. King George found out the hard way what happens when you anger a bunch of armed Freedom Lovers. Let’s start by keeping our law enforcement officers busy collecting revenue from victimless crimes by JOHN while at the same time sensationalizing violent crimes with guns where innocent people are hurt, particularly children. We’ll keep poking at John’s emotions by telling him that his children are in  jeopardy of being killed by a gun. We can distort and even make up all kinds of statistics to reinforce our position. We’ll also popularize
the notion that what their Second Amendment says isn’t what it means.

   WERSE:Stop; you’re way off on this one. We all know that guns don’t kill people, people kill people. Do you expect to confiscate knives and rocks too? All the scholars I’ve checked with agree that the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed is in fact a complete sentence, and since it wasn’t written by a bunch of lawyers, it only has one meaning.

   BADD: Knock off the logic crap! By the time we show up for their guns, they’ll be so busy just trying to survive and so full of our media’s anti-crime, anti-terrorist, anti-gun dribble that most of them will give up their weapons. Those who don’t will get rounded up and put in detention centers that we’ll have ready by then anyway. When the time comes, we’ll have brainwashed our police and military into doing the dirty work and we can always supplement them with foreign troops.

   WERSE: This concerns me, BADD. After we pick up all the guns, these people are going to realize that they’re defenseless and become very angry at us.

   BADD: What’s your point, WERSE?

   WERSE: Yeah, you’re right, duh!

   BADD: We had better concentrate on ways to keep these Americans from waking up while all of our plans are being put into action, because if they do they’ll join together.

   WERSE: We’ll simply keep them stirred up and at odds with each other by constantly bringing up argumentative situations and events that they can’t possibly agree on, and some they won’t even understand. We can toss around abortion, animal rights, gay rights, gun control, employee rights, women’s rights, welfare rights, religious rights, criminal rights, drugs, the list is endless. That will drive a wedge between various groups. The bottom line is that with all the other stuff we’ve created the family unit will be weak, morality at an all-time low and spiritual growth will be replaced with organized religion. Hence, their intelligence level will be so foggy that they will waste their efforts fighting with each other instead of evaluating their position and noticing our evils.

   BADD: While we’re at it, let’s start separating the races in American by creating situations that will ignite hate, then turn around and condemn those who do hate and make them appear to be the majority of each race. We can easily make it appear to be a bad thing to be proud of race and culture, even though we know that’s one of the things that made America strong. This can be a real hotbed of manufactured antagonism that will work daily to serve our purposes.

   WERSE: O.K., we’ve touched on many things and there’s still more to go but we haven’t decided how to handle a couple of major items that made America the great country it is. America has an abundance of natural resources, a free enterprise system beyond reproach, and a manufacturing and trade industry that is phenomenal.

   BADD: This too will be easy but it’ll take some time. When all our regulations, laws, statutes and taxes are in place the small businessman will be squashed. Then we keep coming up with scary environmental issues to slow down whatever survivors there are. For example, I’ll bet our spotted birdie will bring the timber industry to
its knees. And finally, with our selected Congress and president, we’ll make radical trade agreements with countries that have an abundance of slave labor to produce that which American workers are so proud of today. They won’t know what hit them until it’s all gone and millions of proud people are looking for work. We simply rob them, create a chaos and frustration that they’ll vent towards each other.

   WERSE: American Spirit and Freedom be Damned.

   -----------------------------------------------------------------------

   Two or three generations after BADD and WERSE went to hell, we enter one of Amer-ica’s fenced off human resource areas and find two more people secretly talking. Resource Unit No. 57, a female worker unit and Resource Unit No. 92, a male entertainment unit.

   UNIT 57: I know this isn’t supposed to happen, but I’ve grown to trust you 92 and I have some distressing information that I must discuss. I know it’s against the law to talk about these things and especially bad to display any morals, but I want you to promise to keep a secret until we can decide what to do.

   UNIT 92: You’re acting very strange, but OK. I’ll keep your secret. What have you done that is so awful?

   UNIT 57: This is really difficult to admit, but I’ve learned to read.

   UNIT 92: Oh no! How did it happen and does anyone else know?

   UNIT 57: You’re the only one who knows. It all started when one of those dreadful patriot units from the 20^th century managed to sneak in and deliver several boxes of information from someone he said was my grandfather, whatever that is, and suggested that I start looking this stuff over. There were some weird old books from a time when school was for everyone and they have taught me to read and realize what these people had before they screwed it up and what they could have done to keep it for us. By the way, did you know that an entertainment
unit used to be a piece of furniture?

   UNIT 92: Very funny 57, to think you’ve gone off the deep end, look at what we have now. Our leader, Master 666, gives us a space to live in, food, medical treatments and all the TV we want. All we have to do is perform our assigned jobs.

   UNIT 57: Well 92, it just became obvious to me that you are a piece of furniture. Back in the 1900s people could read, they didn’t. They had free speech, they kept quiet. They had unalienable rights, they gave them up. They could choose partners, they didn’t cherish. They could have their own children, they didn’t teach. They could travel freely, they traded for control. They could learn from ministry, they joined a controlled church. They had thousands of people warning them with the truth, they ignored them. They could vote, they didn’t. They could be healthy, they went to Burger Wizard. They had a Constitution, they trashed it. They had wealth, they didn’t protect it. They could change things, they waited for the other guy. They had guns, they laid them
down. They had TV, they watched it.

   UNIT 92: Zzzzzzzzz!

   UNIT 57: Nothing’s changed!

   THE END?

   I HOPE NOT!

   -----------------------------------------------------------------------

   A very special thanks goes out to all those freedom organizations, alternative newspapers, newsletters, authors, research-ers and true Americans who work daily to stop the misapplications of our Constitution, and defend our Unalienable Rights. I have learned much from these people and pray that every American will do the same. DO NOT LET YOUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN BECOME HUMAN RESOURCES!
May God Bless You and America
