What did Henry Kissenger say in 1992, in Evian, France, at a Bilderberger Conference? He said this: "Today Americans would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order; tomorrow they will be grateful. This is especially true if they were told there was an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead with world leaders to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by their world government."

I don't like Kissinger. He thinks he's our boss. And maybe President Barack Obama needs him for a boss, but most of us need to quit working for Dr. Kissinger.

And what is going on over in Hardin? Suddenly a little town makes big news. I always find out what is going on the hard way.

But then again, it is true that we always have to believe what the big shots say to us. David Rockefeller has a wonderful way with words. This is what he said in 1991 at a Trilateral Commission meeting: "... the world now is much more sophisticated and prepared to march toward a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries."

Anyway, who needs to join a civilian national security force that's powerful, strong, well-funded? I do. But I will never be well-funded. And I don't need a uniform. All I need to wear is my clothes from the Salvation Army. And if I joke, I need to remember a rag-tag army that only needed to believe in independence and freedom.
