"In addition to these pragmatic goals, the powers of financial capitalism had
another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of
financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of
each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be
controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting
in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and
conferences. The apex of the system was to be the Bank for International
Settlements in Basle, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by
the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations."

Hitler's speeches were some of the first mass media events in history. They were as carefully prepared and orchestrated as any modern television event. They are comparable to the kind of preparation and buildup, given a media extravaganza such as the Superbowl. In fact, one might say that such people who prepared such mass media events learned their lessons from the Nazis, as we shall later explain.

"I know the secret of making the average American believe anything I want him to. Just let me control television. Americans are wired into their television sets. Over the last 30 years, they have come to look at their television sets and the images on the screen as reality. You put something on television and it becomes reality. If the world outside the television set contradicts the images, people start changing the world to make it more like the images and sounds of their television. Because its influence is so great, so pervasive, it has become part of our lives. You lose your sense of what is being done to you, but your mind is being shaped and molded."

Actually the ozone "hole" is not a hole at all. It is a seasonal thinning discovered back in 1956 by Dr. Gordon Dobson. Each spring, after the long sunless southern winter, the ozone layer thins over the Antarctica. Conversely, it always expands after the southern summer when ultraviolet radiation once again creates ozone. (The media didn't tell you that the "hole" closes each year, did it?) The annual thinning varies from year to year. In fact, less ozone was measured in 1985 than in 1990 though more freon was used. Why? Scientific data indicate a strong consistent correlation between ozone depletion and major volcanic explosions and other natural factors.

Governments utilize 5 basic rules to retain power:


1. Keep the people in fear of losing their protection from unspeakable evils ;

2. Keep the people afraid of each other by means of race, sex, age, language, culture, etc;

3. Create conflict so that the powers that govern can be seen to solve the conflict, thus keeping people submissive;

4. Isolate and destroy any independent thinkers; and

5. Always deny the truth.

It is based on entering the market at the end of Wave 4, and taking profits at the end of Wave 5. In the Type Two trade, the market is entered at the end of Wave 5, with the initial target for profits being at the same price level as the previous Wave 4.

Hebrew theology was divided into three distinct parts. The first was the law, the second was the soul of the law, and the third was the soul of the soul of the law. The law was taught to all the children of Israel; the Mishna, or the soul of the law, was revealed to the Rabbins and teachers; but the Qabbalah, the soul of the soul of the law, was cunningly concealed, and only the highest initiates among the Jews were instructed in its secret principles.

W.D.Gann started out his trading career just like anyone else. He went broke a few times before he developed methods to "follow" the market and manage his money. His work shows that he had some early methods that didn't work so he immediately dropped them, utilizing only those that worked. His understanding of market movement helped him develop unique ways of determining the trend and where the market was at any one time. Early in his market career he found that TIME was more important than PRICE. It was time that changed the trend, not price. With this in mind, his other developments fell in place around this TIME and PRICE phenomena.

The Tree of Life is a mystical explanation of how the universe came to existence. The Cabbala teaches that creation was accomplished through a series of divine emanations in which God, the unmanifest, wished to behold himself, and so overflowed into manifestation, creating the first sphere of existence known as Kether, or the Crown. When this sphere was complete, the divine power overflowed again and created the next sphere down, known as Hokmah, or Wisdom, and so on until ten spheres, or sephiroth, were created. The Tree, with its roots in the earth and the tips of its branches in the heavens provides a spiritual ladder by which God can read man and man can reach God.

When they were finally unearthed, the Stoics were again treated with contempt. The German Kantian Carl Prandtl in his famous History of Ancient Logic (1855) described the truth table for "If .. then ..." as "excessively stupid". Finally, in 1896, the great American logician and eccentric, Charles Sanders Pierce (1839-1914) discovered the truth tables in a Stoic fragment. Casting off the dust of two millenia, the genius of the Stoics returned to fertilize the birth of modern symbolic logic. Their excessively stupid truth tables, embodied in silicon logic circuits, form the minds of our digital computers.

After the burst of the tech bubble in 2000, traders went from seeking the highest possible returns to focusing on capital preservation. But since the U.S. was offering interest rates below 2% (and going even lower), many hedge funds and those who had access to the international markets went abroad in search of higher yields. Australia, with the same risk factor as the U.S., offered interest rates in excess of 5%. As such, it attracted large streams of investment money into the country and, in turn, assets denominated in the Australian dollar.

Until now the human race has undergone two great waves of change, each one largely obliterating earlier cultures or civilizations and replacing them with ways of life inconceivable to those who came before. The First Wave of change – the agricultural revolution – took thousands of years to play itself out. The Second Wave – the rise of industrial civilization – took a mere three hundred years. Today history is even more accelerative, and it is likely that the Third Wave will sweep across history and complete itself in a few decades. We, who happen to share the planet at this explosive moment, will therefore feel the full impact of the Third Wave in our own lifetimes.

Christians, for a variety of reasons we do not need to explore here, are likely to remain adamant in their belief in the physical Christ. And as in the case of Robin Hood, or Sherlock Holmes, or Santa Claus, there is no reason why they should change their conviction and identification. The loss would be too great for any gain, and too many great truths have been based on this greatest of lies for it to be so roughly uprooted. Whether they realize it or not, the Christian is, even in his ignorance closer to the ultimate truth than both the scientist, cynic or atheist. Man is light and light is man.
