I think they are just about there. I wrote this a while ago.

You are fighting WW III but you don't know it.
World War three is being fought in silence in the US and other parts of the world. It is fought without the knowledge of the American public and without debate by the Presidential Candidates. We the ordinary people are losing. To win, the American public must know about the war and help fight against it.

Who is the enemy?
No, I am not talking about the war in Iraq, I am talking about a much more subtle and dangerous war. In this war the battle lines are drawn by giant corporations, backed by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, and trade treaties, aggressively pursuing a silent war against billions of people around the globe. At stake is the very survival of over 1.5 billion small and marginal farmers, and the prize is your money and your freedom. In 1997, ten corporations controlled almost every aspect of the world's food chain. With the formation of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 1995, global and national politics here and abroad are now driven by corporate financial priorities. Corporations set the agenda for the the European Union (EU), the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the WTO and the US. The objective is the complete control of the food supply, the surefire weapon used by armies and dictators throughout history. If the giant corporations gain complete control of your food, it will be much worse than OPEC's control of world oil.

What are the casualties?
Every day the WTO Agreement on Agriculture (AoA) and World Bank policies are causing farmer suicides yet the newspapers are silent. One estimate is that 150,000 farmers in India have suicided. In Malawi 1,500 people perished from famine caused by the World Bank's interference in government policies. A member of the World Bank executive board described this as “unprecedented thoroughgoing interventionism.” Deborah Bryceson of Oxford calls it “de-peasantization”–the phasing out of traditional family farms to make fertile farmland available for intensive capital accumulation using factory farming. The prize of war, the capital they plan to “accumulate” comes out of YOUR pocket. The corporations do not care if there are human casualties The casualties are self-sufficient farmers who are of no use to corporations.

Control through threat of starvation
In a vertically integrated food system, giant corporations gain control of the country's food system by controlling food from seed to shelf. This system is being extended around the world. But as long as an individual can buy land, raise livestock and veggies and then sell at a local farmers market, the Ag giants do not have the complete monopoly they want. So multinational corporations are making the move to gain that complete control. The weapons they use are international treaties, biological patents, dumping of subsidized food and coerced government regulations. The IMF and the World Bank blackmail debt-ridden governments into eliminating high tariffs and systematically dismantling government support of family farming, thereby sacrificing national food self-sufficiency. With the US debt at $9.2 Trillion much of it owed to foreign interests, the US, contrary to popular belief, is not immune to financial blackmail. The new regulations imposed upon governments, originate with the WTO's AoA, and involve traceability, “Good Farming Practices”, depopulation and “disease free status”. These regulations are designed to complete the demise of privately owned farms. Make no mistake, these regulations actually DECREASE the safety of the food supply while ensuring complete corporate control. How? By removing quarantine and disease testing as “Trade Barriers” and substituting “traceability” and ISO “Good Farming Practices”


Enlisting us to fight against ourselves
The USDA and the FDA are trying to sell these regulations to consumers as necessary “Food Safety” regs. But even American Quality Professionals will not defend ISO. An Article "Eliminate ISO 9000?," in Quality Magazine received the heaviest reader response in some time but contained no ardent rebuttals in defense of ISO 9000! Scott Dalgleish, editor of ASQ magazine for five years, contends that ISO 9000 misdirects resources to paperwork that does almost nothing. Traceability allows corporations to shift blame from their poor manufacturing practices to the innocent farmer. In Wisconsin a state-blessed monopoly requires farmers to sign contracts shifting all liability to the farmer leaving the corporation free from the threat of lawsuits.

Have we lost already?
Despite the negative impact of WTO regulations on food safety and despite Congressional defeat of bills to make WTO regulations law, the USDA and FDA are intent on forcing implementation. The European Union has already completed implementation, and as a result, farming in the UK is all but dead.

Benajamin Fulford always paints a rosy picture, trying to keep the idea that the elites are losing, it's all ok, things will be fine... and while I think they haven't got as much traction as they would have liked or even expected, they have done enough to put us in dire circumstances in the mid term.

We have GMO's and Codex Alimentarius looming. The credit crunch could go global, with the whole financial system basically buckleing. Diseases and Pandemics seem a threat. Over our heads chemtrails are looming, who knows doing exactly what, but at the very least they cut us off from the sun, which in itself is terrible. Wars are still going on. Terrorism myths are still being fueled by military black ops. De-education is the norm, with the western school systems producing a bunch of left brain slaves that have no idea how the world works. Entertainment on TV is mindless and dumb, passing off stupid memes about celebrity and fashion, with no real education mixed in, bluring the lines between fantasy and reality. Slave trade, human organ trafic, pedophilia and prostitution rings, drug wars and alcoholism nibble away at our society. The vaccination programs seem to be getting more agressive and seem to be producing very nasty side effects, from autism to cancer. The pharmacological-industrial complex is treating the symptoms of one disease, while seeding another, dragging people into a downward health spiral. Religion continues to polarize populations, cutting them off from their inner divinity, lowering their frequency. Racism is still fueled, and in the meantime mass immigration movements are being promulgated, so as to reduce western industrial nations to the lowest common denominator with the third world, which is still being exploited. Corporate environmental agression is still running rampant, polluting seas and rivers, destroying rain forrests, downsizing amazonia. The Global Warming myth is still being pushed as a pretext for global taxation. Taxes are basically going up all the time, as governments spend on deficit with money they are loaned, in essence we are paying the bankers back the money they conjured up, with interest that will come out of our sweat, blood and tears. Technology is still being supressed all over the world, due to stupid patent laws that make the rich richer, and make us destroy the environment with outdated methods. We are being intoxicated at every turn, with corporate made toxic products. The only reason I could even remember this whole paragraph in one go was because I got off the tap water. Our family structure is being attacked by culture and by institution. And on top of all this we are constantly being lied to by representatives that don't represent, journalists that don't report, inspectors that don't inspect and authorities that in realitie are little more than criminals.

These old money slave driving elites are still doing a lot, as you can see by the previous paragraph, and we can't just assume it's over. No, we are entering a period of socioeconomic chaos, and out of the phase change that is coming will come the next period of humanity. It could be anything from a utopia to a thermonuclear wasteland. That depends on the global consciousness, on people waking up.

So what will it be folks, fear or love?

Anyone who has ever ever ever seen a coke addict knows benjamin is one...does that discredit his theories? no it doesnt...but it make me slightly dubious about his claims i must say...masonic ninjas with poisonous rings doesnt sound factual to me in all honesty...

Guys,

One piece your missing.
None of this NWO is gonna happen if all of you become aware and say hey i'm not for these wars. The elites need you to fight these wars, and how they do that is create conflict in Iraq and Iran for you to fight.


If you don't fight these wars, then the NWO will collapse.

The elites are not as mighty as they want us to think they are.

Well, yes, that will help immensly. But they control finance, and by extension academia, corporations and politics, and they also control religion. So we still have a major power shuffle to deal with, because if everyone becomes aware of what I am aware of, and expositioned in my previous post, there will be a period of great change and instability.

It's important that people keep talking about all this regardless. And yes, if exposed, the elites are powerless. They are, after all, hiding in plain view.

Well how the hell do you avoid tap water? Use bottled water for everything? The purifiers that you put on your tap dont take it out.

Well unless they pull a miracle out of thin air and suddenly learn how to clean up that which can not be corrected, their plan to depopulate will slowly occur. DU dust, megatons by the way, that has bonded permanently to the global atmosphere since the war in Yugoslavia, throughout the gulf war, Afghanistan and Iraq, is permanent and we are currently breathing in thousands of minute particles with every breath we take, and its bonds to our dna. They won. Within the next few decades, many deaths occur and mutations, down to bacteria. I'm praying for a miracle. I have a thread on this and I already know what they've done is, under current technology, irreversible, for 4.5 billion years.

A reverse osmosis water filter will take out fluoride, I believe. Though perhaps not the cheapest solution it is the easiest to maintain.

Never doubt that a small group of committed People can change the World. In fact Its the only thing that ever has...

What kind of lunatic puts fluoride in water for people to drink. Get some water containers #2 or above and go to a reputable water supply store. I feel very uncomfortable giving the fluoride water even to my pets.
