Welcome, we’re glad you’re here! we’ve done everything possible to include pertinent information to show you where it began where it is going and how it infiltrated our backyards while we weren’t looking.. Additional information can be found via internet by searching topic title and subject name reading books, articles, papers etc listed as sources Portions of our program are based upon hypothetical scenario's / situations, those portions will be clearly identified Our program is largely interactive/discussion based, the more each person participates, the more everyone will get out of it. To ensure fairness to all, please : 1. Be respectful of others when contributing. 2. Turn your cell phones off or to the vibrate setting. 3. Take private discussions to another area. 4. Keep contributions directly relevant to the discussion. Please remain mindful that some individuals caught within this elaborate web don’t realize they are ensnared within it. Unfortunately, sometimes really good people get stuck in really bad things, it doesn’t make ALL of them bad, in some cases they are merely uninformed or misinformed of the dangers, and have been lured /mislead by others. On the other hand, some really bad people, are involved in really bad things, They work quietly almost completely undetected in the shadows, like spiders, effectively weaving intricate webs, one string, one layer, one victim at a time, always afraid of being exposed to the light. Our goal is to shed as much light as possible on those individuals, as well as the web they’ve been weaving around the American people for more then 60 years. We’re here to provide information, show you how to use it, and direct you on where to find more. Our goal is to arm you with knowledge, because knowledge is POWER.
