Cornucopia Vermont

Republic of Vermont All-Seeing Eye Coin, 1785-88

"The Masons were largely descendants of the ruling group in the state, which constituted the aristocrats in a sense. Chittenden and the Allens and their crowd were all Masons, and for all the democratic talk, Vermont was founded as a republic with a high concentration of power in the hands of a few."
-Cora Cheney, from her book Profiles From The Past.


The founding fathers of the United States of America were, almost to a man, Freemasons and so it should come as little suprise that the founders of Vermont were also from the exact same fraternal order.
Slowly but surely, the influence of secret societies on the development of America is coming into full public view, albeit mostly through sensationalized fictional versions by authors such as Dan Brown.
These versions give a whitewashed account, portraying freeemasons as struggling to bring liberalism to an overly-religious and superstitious people, and are little more than freemasonic promotional material.

Ira Allen

Ethan and Ira Allen, along with the first governor of Vermont, Thomas Chittenden, were all Freemasons. In the book Ancient Craft Masonry in Vermont, by Lee S. Tillotson, the author goes into some detail:

"Dr. Jonas Fay, who recieved his second degree in Vermont Lodge on June 26,1782, the same night that Ira Allen and Thomas Chittenden were initiated, also became amember of the North Star Lodge..."

"on November10,1781, a charter was issued by St.Andrews Grand Lodge of Massechusetts to Jim Barret and others for a masonic lodge at Springfield, Vermont, under the name "Vermont Lodge". The number of this lodge in the Massechusetts register was 17."

"The petition for the charter was dated at Cornish, Vermont, May 11, 1781"

"The original charter...It bears among others the signiature of Paul Revere, then Grand Senior Warden of the Grand Lodge of Massechusetts"

"Ira Allenand Thomas Chittenden were both intiated in Vermont Lodge on the same night, June 26,1782. The records relative to the bringing to masonic light of those two noted men are as follows:
June 24, 1782.'Br. Barrett proposes for initiation Ira Allen. The lodge having paricular Aquaintance of the foregoing proposal, proceeded to Ballot-Ballotted in Ira Allen.'
June 26, 1782.'Br. Fay proposes for initiation Thos. Chittenden Esqr. The Lodge having particular aquaintance of his Excellency Thos. Chittenden Esqr.(He was governor of Vermont at the time) proceeded to ballot for him. Ballotted in Thos. Chittenden.
Made Masons: Ira Allen: THos. Chittenden."

Thomas Chittenden

"Thomas Chittenden received his second and third degrees in North Star Lodge at Manchester, and afterwards became a charter member and the first master of Dorchester Lodge at Vergennes."

ANTI-MASONRY IN VERMONT

Soon after the apparent murder of William Morgan (an upstate New York lodge member who wrote a pamphlet exposing the initiation blood oaths of each of the degrees of Freemasonry) in 1826 by freemasons, people began to speak out against the brotherhood as never before.
The backlash in Vermont was particularly strong, at least publicly, and most lodges became dormant by 1835.

It seems that Freemasonry does not mind being exposed as long as it could control and direct the outcome.

The leaders of the national Anti-Masonic movement were all Masons. Both Henry Clay and William Wirt were unapologetic Masons, although Clay officially "demitted' from Lexington Lodge No.1 in Kentucky on November 18,1824.
An article from the Boston Courier (quoted in the Vermont Republican Journal of Oct.8,1831) contained an account of the National Anti-Masonic convention, in which a delegate who had opposed Wirt in the convention is quoted as saying:

"Have you not placed us in the most awkward predicament that men were ever placed? The Anti-Masonic Party supporting an avowed Mason for the Presidency!"

Pages 144-146 of Ancient Craft Masonry in Vermont states:

"In 1836, Nathan B. Haswell was right when he said : 'From this period I date the overthrow of anti-masonry'
and
"We have already seen how the Masonic organization was kept alive in this state. In June,1835, the Editor of theMiddlebury Free Press said ' Very much has been said of late of the fallen state of Masonry...Has a single Grand Lodge or Chapter or Encampment formally dissolved its organization? Not one. Every Grand Lodge, we believe, still continues its meetings. Such is the case in this state.'
And as such..continued to be 'the case in this state' although for many years no publicity was given to the fact."

Ani-Masonry basically withered and died on the vine due to the usurpation of top positions in the party. Focus turned gradually to Anti-Slavery and other affairs and then came the Civil War by which time the Anti-Masonic movement was a thing of the past.

THE GRANGE

The Grange was formed following the Civil War in 1866. It was designed to promote the upcoming industrial agricultural revolution, reign in post-war discontent, and serve as a safe and low-level entry point into freemasonry. The Grange allowed both men and women to join, but true advancement can only be made by then joining the Masons, which only men are allowed to do.

In Cora Cheney's Profiles From the Past, founder O.H. Kelley

"...thought it would be a good idea to apply this farm rehabilitation program to bind the wounds of the entire country, stressing that since farmers were all brothers, a secret society or brotherhood encompassing North and South could be the solution for many bitter problems.
Apparently the anti-secret society sentiment that had enraged Vermonters during the anti-Mason fight of a few decades before did not extend to the secret proceedings of the Grange, probably because the new group was not an elite establishment but rather was meant for all farmers."

She goes on...

"Monopolistic town general stores suffered when the Grange "stores" began cutting into their business. Alarmed merchants even tried, sometimes with success, to join the group and learn the Grange secrets to see if there were some way to stop this heady group of farmers from putting them out of business. The cornucopia symbol seemed to enrage a certain segment of the public who beleived that the horn of plenty was not for the tiller."


Here are some reasons why the tiller i.e., an honest citizen, might have some objection to the Horn of Plenty:

"In Greek mythology, Amalthea was a goat who raised Zeus on her breast milk. When her horn was accidentally broken off by Zeus while playing together, which changed Amalthea into a unicorn with 17 whiskers, the god in remorse gave her back her horn with the power to give to the person in possession of it whatever he or she wished for. This gave rise to the legend of the cornucopia. The original depictions were of the goat's horn filled with fruits and flowers: deities, especially Fortuna, would be depicted with the horn of plenty. The cornucopia was also a symbol for a woman's fertility."
-frm http://www.theoi.com/Ther/AixAmaltheia.html

"...the goat horn is a hollow phallic symbol, represented even today as the cup of plenty or cornucopia which we see represented in the Lodge.
...the shape of the horn (phallic outside and hollow inside) endows it with complex symbolism (including that of the lingam or symbol of generation) it is easy to understand its allegorical use as the horn of abundance.
...The androgenous symbolism of the horn of plenty is typical of the symbolism of the goat in general."
-Liber Capricornus,The Symbolism of the Goat by Eugene W. Plawiuk, Master Mason
Presented to Norwood Lodge No.90 A.F.& A.M. G.R.A. September 3 1991 C.E.

ETYMOLOGY OF THE GRANGE

The word cornucopia comes from the Latin for horn. Then the name of the Grange, which implies grain and comes from the Latin granica. But then corn comes from the Old English word for grain, a seed or small particle. Granite also derives from this same Latin root.
The cornerstone is the first stone ritually laid in any building constructed by the Masons, invoking dieties with wine, oil and grains.
Corner (an angle, or point where two intersecting lines meet) comes from the same root as corn. Geometry is central to Masonry. G.A.O.T.U. or Great Architect Of the Universe (but by this they do not mean God the ultimate supreme being) is also an anagram for goat.



And on a final note, here is what Nathanial Colver, a leading member of the Anti-Masonic Party in Vermont, had to say about Freemasonry:

"I believe it is a moral evil in that its specious ceremonies are a combination of Christianity, Judaism, and heathenism. Its oaths are licentious and profane; and so far as there is weight in them, they rob its votaries of the inalienable rights of man. In its titles and degrees it is highly profane and blasphemous.

I believe that it is a political evil, in that like the silent leech it sucks the very life and blood of civil justice, and palsies the executive arm of lawful authority, but in many instances carrying a secret though successful influence into the bar, upon the bench, and into the jury room. Or if it chooses to thunder vengeance from the bar, upon the bench, or the jury, it can yet stay execution, or facilitate the escape of the guilty; while it erects a tribunal of its own, unsanctified by the laws of God or man, from which it extends a secret, multifarious, and dreadful arm, before which thousands of consciences have fallen prey.

I believe that Masonry is an imposition on the world, She boasts of light, and conscience, and knowledge. But these she only posesses in name. When brought forth to the light, and to the scrutiny of untrammelled investigation, what is she? Even her most enthusiastic patrons and votaries are ashamed of her-traiterously denying her personage and their allegiance, til they can drag her back into the dark, where phosphorous-like alone she shines, and where alone they can stupidly bow at her shrine as a mighty goddess."

Spooks and Snakes

There are rarely ever more than eight visitors a day to this blog so when I post an article and get thirteen the next day, I know something's up.

Maybe it's that large law firms have a way of tracking which alerts them if their name comes up anywhere on the internet or maybe the spooks are watching, who can say?

One of the hits was from Arlington, Virginia and that was probably a family member mentioned in the previous post. Some of the hits were from large law firms listed in the cut & pasted biography of Anne Yasmine Rassam.

Whatever the case is I hope people understand that this blog is all about investigating and interpreting reality from a different stance than mainstream journalism or culture. This ain't the Washington Post nor is it Pravda . Have a nice day.

"In human affairs men judge and act according to the limited knowledge at command of the multitude. Witnesses who tell the truth are often, in your courts of law, stunned by the decisions of a narrow-minded jury. Men sit on juries with little conception of the facts of the case that is brought before them; the men who manipulate them are mere tools in unseen hands that throw their several minds in antagonisms unexplainabble to man. The judge is unconsciously a tool of his own errors or those of others. One learned judge unties what another has fastened, each basing his views on the same testimony, each rendering his decision in accordance with law derived from the same authority."

Michelle Gardner-Quinn: Elite Occult?

"If we can help make our community safer and in this case, if we catch a guy and he hangs for something we did, we're thrilled."
-Perry Sporn, Perrywinkles Jewelry



Perry Sporn is talking about the installation of security cameras ("something we did") on his storefront which caught murder victim Michelle Gardner-Quinn and her now convicted murderer walking by in the early morning hours of October 7, 2006.

This incident took an otherwise anonymous college student and put her disappearance and murder into the national spotlight. Although the murder rate is relatively low in Vermont, it happens regularly and does not warrent national coverage. Who gets covered by the media and who doesn't ?

Michelle Gardner-Quinn grew up in Arlington, Virginia and had recently transferred to the University of Vermont (UVM) for her senior year as an environmental studies major. She had travelled to Costa Rica, Brazil and South Africa working on sustainable development and related research as this was her passion. She also travelled to New Orleans to help in the recovery after Hurricane Katrina.
Previously she had attended H.B. Woodlawn school in Arlington, Va. ("Hippie High") and went on to Goucher College in Baltimore.

While the media was content to exploit the details of Michelle's own life they left out anything concerning details of the lives of family and friends. It may not seem immediatly relevant to her murder, but in the case of who gets covered and who doesn't, it is.

Michelle's father, John-Charles Quinn, is the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) for the American Trucking Associations. The ATA is the major trucking advocate for the industry in the United States. It is a politically right-wing organization which currently has the former Governor of Kansas, Bill Graves, as its President and CEO.

In an article by Wayne Madsen entitled "Full Circle With the Bush Criminal Enterprise" Madsen writes that:

"... Cheney’s Chief of Staff David Addington, who was with the CIA, the Iran-Contra Committee in Congress, and then signed on as senior Vice President for the American Trucking Associations (ATA). WMR reported yesterday on the involvement of a foundation set up by McLean Trucking Co., a member of the ATA, with covert Contra support. "

Madsen goes on to say:

"The ATA is a hotbed of GOP activity as well past connections with support for covert CIA activities. Its chief lobbyist is Jim (“Whit”) Whittinghill, a former aide to Sen. Bob Dole. Whittinghill’s wife, Nancy Dorn, served as an assistant to Texas Representative Tom Loeffler and later served as Special Assistant for Legislative Affairs to Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush."

Madsen then elaborates on the extensive postions of power held by Nancy Dorn which makes one wonder where these people find the time to eat and sleep...
Most of the goods and raw materials for industry in the U.S. are trucked, so the trucking industry is incredibly important in terms of power and control.

John-Charles Quinn is also Principal of Pro-Tech Consulting, Director of Data Administration and Security at the Association of American Railroads and is also amember of SIMS, the Society of Information Managers.
Where he worked previous to 1998 is unknown.

Michelle's half sister ( by their mother Diane Gardner-Quinn) is Anne-Yasmine Rassam, a conservative lawyer, columnist and Vice President of foreign policy and international women's issues for the Independent Women’s Forum.

Check out this book-length resume:

"Rassam joins IWF with an extensive background in law and international women’s issues. An attorney by training, Rassam concentrates on international and human rights law and foreign policy matters pertaining to women. She also directs IWF’s Iraq program. Rassam has over twelve years of legal experience as a litigator for prestigious law firms, a legal academic, and an international legal development specialist on human rights law. She began her career as a litigator at Lord, Bissell & Brook in Chicago, Illinois where she represented Lloyds’ of London in complex environmental litigation. As an associate at Lord Bissell, she also represented indigent women pro bono in divorce cases. After leaving Lord, Bissell & Brook, Rassam became a teaching fellow at Columbia University Law School where she taught international human rights advocacy and legal research and writing. She also was an adjunct professor at Pace University Law School where she taught Public International Law. Upon completion of her teaching fellowship, Rassam represented clients such as CIGNA, Citicorp, American Express and other Fortune 500 companies in complex litigation cases at the law firms of O’Melveny & Myers and Morgan Lewis and Bockius in New York City, New York. She also has extensive experience in international arbitration and litigation on matters pertaining to or in the Middle East, Europe, and Latin America. She has wide-ranging experience in matters pertaining to the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act. At O’Melveny & Myers, she successfully represented pro bono a Pakistani woman who escaped a forced marriage in an internationally publicized U.S. political asylum case. In 2002, Rassam left the private sector to become the Director of the Human Rights Clinic in Tashkent, Uzbekistan for the American Bar Association’s Central and East European Law Initiative. This program, funded by the State Department, was the first of its kind in Central Asia and became a model for many other human rights clinics established in Central Asia and North Africa. In 2004, Rassam became the Director of Women’s Programs for the American Bar Association’s Iraq Initiative, where she established the ABA office in Amman, Jordan and held several conferences on women and the constitution and the status of women’s rights in Iraq for Iraqi women’s NGOs, the Ministry for Women's Affairs, and key members of the Iraqi government. Currently, she serves on the Board of Directors for Indiana Law School’s Center for Constitutional Democracy in Plural Societies. Rassam has authored numerous publications in prestigious law journals on human trafficking, women’s human rights, and Islam, including: International Law and Contemporary Forms of Slavery: An Economic and Social Rights-Based Approach”; “Islam and Justice: Debating the Future of Human Rights in the Middle East and North Africa,”; and “Contemporary Forms of Slavery and the Slave Trade Under Customary International Law.” Most recently, she co-authored a comprehensive survey on the Status of Women’s Rights in Iraq for the American Bar Association’s Iraq Legal Development Project. As an legal and international relations analyst, Rassam has spoken on topics such as the War in Iraq, the War on Terror, Afghanistan, women and Islam, human trafficking and advancing democracy and national security. Her television and radio appearances include Fox & Friends, The Regional News Network, the Janet Parshall Show, and the Wanda Besson Show. She also has published op-eds on topics such as Somalia, women in Iraq, and human trafficking, and the War in Iraq in the Wall Street Journal, Townhall, Human Events, and in local newspapers. Rassam holds a bachelor of arts in history from the University of Virginia and a juris doctor magna cum laude from Indiana University School of Law. She holds a legum magister (LL.M) with an emphasis on international law from Columbia University School of Law."

Ok, you're successful, we get it! Whew.


Rassam joined together with "family friend" Gail Fendley (right) to form a foundation in memory of Michelle. Fendley is a producer for PBS's Religion and Ethics News Weekly. She also won a Silver Circle Award from "The National Capital Chesapeake Bay Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS-NCCB) is a non-profit, professional organization serving the Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C. television community. The Academy's Emmy Award is the industry's benchmark for the recognition of television excellence."

Fendley' son was dating Michelle at the time . Both Rassam and Fendley started the non-profit called ."Michelle's Earth Organization", which is dedicated to small projects here and there which favor environmental sustainability, such as planting sunflowers in New Orleans. Sunflowers have the (scientifically debatable) ability to take up toxins from the soil and eliminate them, thereby detoxifying the ground.

Shortly before her death, Michelle had written a "This I Believe" essay for one of her classes. Posthumously, this was broadcast on National Public Radio and read by "famous and important" women in a video shown at the 7/7 Live Earth Celebration. All of this is done under the banner of "Not forgetting Michelle, her tragedy and promoting her cause, the Environment."

Much of this is symbolic and the emotions triggered by the obviously sad tragedy of a young and intelligent woman rather than any facts on the ground.


SYMBOLISM

During the trial of Brian Rooney, Yasmine Rassam posed for a Burlington Free Press Shot of her holding a sunflower in memory of her slain half sister.

Many of the top members of our society are involved in the worship of the Sun as an actual Diety. The Freemasons often call themselves the Sons of the Morning Star, or the Eastern Star. This worship is not done openly or is diguised as some innocuous public event because Freemasonry has been accused in the past of worshipping Lucifer, The Lightbringer, the Sun. They believe in a dual god, Savior in the morning and devil at night, sunset as in Set, the Egyptian version of the devil. The "sunflower" is considered to be the sacred symbol of the sun by esoterocists such as Manley P. Hall (p.XCV, Secret Teachings...)

This esoteric information may seem rather out of place but when "important" people hold sunflowers as a symbol, it deserves to be looked at.

The building owned and designed by diamond and jewelry merchant Perry Sporn, whose security camera caught Michelle's last morning alive, has some of the most intense occult symbolism in town.

The Western facade is stepped, forming a ziggerat (old-style Sumerian pyramid) while over the main entrance is a large copper pyamid. Below on the ground is a huge, black cauldron. The dual clock-faces are also interesting and seem representational of seals.

From "The Encyclopedia of Witches and Witchcraft" by Rosemary Ellen Guiley, in reference to the black cauldron:

"An iron pot, a receptacle in which poisons, ointments and philtres were brewed. Also
linked to fertility, abundance and revival of the dead by ancient Celts
Human sacrifice - throats of victims slit, blood drained into bowl (Babylon, Mayan, Inca, Aztec...)
Norse god, Odin, drank magic blood from a cauldron of wisdom to obtain divine power.
Greek myth tells of witch goddess, Medea, who used it to restore a person's youth."p. 49-50.

In the children's book based on Welsh mythology by Lloyd Alexander, "The Black Cauldron" the Lord of the Land of Death obtains a black cauldron (from three witches) into which he puts dead people whereupon they become reanimated and soulless killers doing the bidding of the owner of the caudron.

The copper pyramid is a symbol of the feminine and the Freemasonic ruling elite. Copper relates to Venus and the pentagram. The path Venus makes as seen from Earth is a pentagram and copper is its associated metal ( from p.CXLVI Manley P. Hall, Secret Teachings of All the Ages). Copper of course has inherent conductive qualities on many levels, both scientific and esoteric.
Pyramids are the central geometric construction of the masons, as is evidenced by their compass and T-square, a two-dimensional rerpresentation of 3-dimensionally intersecting pyramids.


Perry Sporn, right, is someone who talks like an advertisement, flys his own aircraft and jets around the world looking for the best deals on diamonds.

Silver is the metal of Gail Fendley's "Silver Circle" award and in mind control, Silver is a Satanic alter that preforms high level Satanic rituals,according to Vigilant Citizen.
Alestair Crowley in fact created theOrder of the Silver Star for advanced members of the Great White Brotherhood, in worship of the star Sirius.

THE CASE AGAINST ROONEY

The convicted murderer, Brian Rooney, does appear guilty from the publicly available evidence-court records are simply too expensive for this blogger-but all of the information above leaves nagging questions that beg for further research.

Rooney was the last person (we know of) to have seen Michelle alive as evidenced by phone calls made by Quinn from his cell phone. A drop of her blood was found on his jeans. A minute amount of semen was found on her clothes. A
police dog found Quinn's scent in his car. Misleading statements as to his whereabouts made to the police. Fresh scratch-marks on Rooney's hands...

But no physical evidence was found in Rooney's car, and the police said his car had not been cleaned and they had been observing him closely soon after Quinn's diappearence. Officials do not know where the crime took place. They have not said if she was drugged or made to pass out though the use of solvents as a previous girlfriend claimed Rooney did to her.

The public defender who was looking into that unrelated case (in which he complained of having to review the OVER 300 HOURS OF VIDEOTAPES Rooney posessed of himself screwing women while they were unconcious, apparently) was abruptly fired due to budgetary concerns. See Free Press article.

Lorin Duckman is also the unfortunate New York Judge who was the subject of a media/political witchhunt which prompted his moving to Vermont. He's the only person, besides the victim, who one feels any sympathy for. Was he fired for something he found? If those 300 hours of tapes were not simply commercial stock and were by Rooney then how many victims were there and what happened to the case Duckman was working on?

If this were a frame-up by Elites, it would appear very elaborate and involving close friends and family of Quinn but this cannot be proven with the facts currently available. At the very least the media fails to take time to look at all aspects of a case on their own and instead simply reports the case as presented by the lawyers and the judges who are, for the most part, creatures of the system.

Michelle Gardner-Quinn, Rest In Peace.

Pissing Onto The Wind

Wind Power is being promoted as a major first step to a more environmentally sustainable energy future. Any criticism of this paradigm is considered as Not In My Backyard mentality, ignorance of Peak Oil or oil company propaganda.

Something called The Energy Project Vermont, "A unique partnership between ECHO/Leahy Center and Burlington City Arts with the support of the University of Vermont," is currently promoting Wind, Solar and other alternative energy solutions to the percieved environmental problems.

The logo of this project is an eternity symbol rotated 360 degrees so as to form an eight-petal flower. Banners line the UVM sidewalk along upper Main street in Burlington with wind turbines displayed prominently in the imagery. The ECHO/Leahy Center exhibition is titled "WIND: Power and Play" while the Firehouse art show is named "Human=Landscape, Aesthetics of a Carbon Constrained Future."

A short film on the second floor of the Firehouse called "The Queensbridge Wind Project" is about somone who noticed that the lights on the 59th street bridge in New York City were out due to a budget shortfall so she decided to promote installing wind turbines on top of the bridge to restore the lights. The film points out how many ugly smokestacks are in the immediate vicinity, spewing emissions -so who could possibly object to a few graceful wind turbines which would generate more than enough energy for the needed lights? The film goes on to say that this would promote similar structures in other major cities around the globe once people see it being done in NYC.

The idea being that wind not only provides essentially free energy but it looks good too. "An elegant solution" as it is said.

Official souces are informing the public at large that the world is about to suffer an impending ecological doom due to what is called Global Warming. There is some debate, some back-and-forth, over this issue but it is allowed to happen essentially to show how some people are ignorant and backwards and can't change their ways in the face of an obvious global problem.

Most people think that the government and corperate leaders lurch from one crisis to the next with little to no forethought. This could not be further from the truth. Leaders of society, be they kings, presidents or CEO's have alway had the latest and most comprehensive information at their fingertips far ahead of what the public knows. Long-term planning is their game, along with access to historical records that few are aware of.

Humanity is being guided to see the only way out of a problem,which they are manipulated to think of as reality, is to accept this new energy paradigm shift.


In 1899 H.G. Wells wrote a revealing story called "When The Sleeper Wakes." Wells was a Fabian Socialist/Rhodes Round Table/Rothschild propagandist who used what is now called science fiction to simultaneously promote and put into the public's mind the blueprint for the coming two centuries. According to Jim Keith, Wells was head of British Intelligence during WW1.

Wells used a technique called predictive programming which softens the blow of change to the public by implanting new ideas into fictional works so that people will accept what the leaders want. People will see the "New Way" as wanted or inevitable.

"When The Sleeper Wakes" is the story of a man who has been in a coma for two hundred years and when he wakes he is then shown all the different aspects of the future world. The main energy souces are wind wheels and water.

Everywhere Graham, the protagonist, goes there are these wind "vanes." People live in dense cities with moving walkways and the country side is used only for food and energy production. No one lives there, only workers operating the machines who arrive via massive highways. On every hill are the wind vanes. Water isdrained from the rivers and pulled from the sea. The most important public company is called the "Wind Vane and Waterfall Trust"

Here are some eye-opening excerpts:

..."the Wind Vane and Waterfall Trust, the great company that owned every wind wheel and waterfall in the world, which pumped all the water and supplied all the electricity that people in these latter days required."

"He saw he had come out upon the roof of the vast city structure which had replaced the miscellaneous houses, streets and open spaces of Victorian London. The place upon which he stood was level, with huge, serpentine cables lying athwart in every direction. The circular wheels of a number of windmills loomed indistinct and gigantic through the darkness and snowfall, and roared with varying loudness as the fitful wind rose and fell."

"The whole of Downs escarpment, so far as the grey haze permitted him to see, was set with wind-wheels to which the largest of the city was but a younger brother. They stirred with a stately motion before the southwest wind And here and there were patches dotted with the sheep of the British Food Trust...then came the Wealdon Heights, the line of Hindhead, Pitch Hill, and Leith Hill, with a second row of wind-wheels that seemed striving to rob the downland whirlers of their share of the breeze."

"Far away, spiked, jagged and indented by the wind vanes, the Surry Hills rose blue and faint; to the north and nearer, the sharp contours of HIghgate and Muswell Hill were similarly jagged. And all over the countryside, he knew, on every crest and hill, where once the hedges had interlaced, and cottages, churches, inns, and farmhouses had nestled among their trees, wind wheels similar to those he saw and bearing like them vast advertisements, gaunt and distinctive symbols of the New Age, cast their whirling shadows and stored incessantly the energy that flowed away incessantly through all the arteries of the city. And underneath these wandered the countless flocks of the British Food Trust with their lonely guards and keepers.
Not a familiar outline anywhere broke the cluster of gigantic shapes below...The Thames, too, made no fall and gleam of silver to break the wilderness of the city; the thirsty water mains drank up every drop of its waters before they reached the walls. Its bed and estuary, scoured and sunken, was now a canal of sea water."

In a similar tale called " A Story of the Days to Come" Wells elaborates:

"...each went to the appointed work. Denton's was to mind a complicated hydraulic press that seemed almost an intelligent thing. This press worked by the sea-water that was destined finally to flush the city drains-for the world had long since abandoned the folly of pouring drinkable water into its sewers. This water was brought close to the eastward edge of the city by a huge canal, and then raised by an enormous battery of pumps onto resevoirs at a level of four hundred feet above the sea, from which it spread by a billion arterial branches over the city. Thence it poured down, cleansing, sluicing, working machinery of all sorts, through an infinite variety of capillary channels into the great drains, the cloacae maximae, and so carried the sewage out to the agricultural areas that surrounded London."

In "When The Sleeper Wakes" Wells describes who is in control and how they came to power. He is decribing reality, not fiction:

"His Japanese attendant, Asano, in expounding the political history of the intervening two centuries, drew an apt image from a seed eaten by insect parasites. First there is the original seed, ripening vigorously enough. And then comes some insect and lays an egg under the skin, and behold! in a little while the seed is a hollow shape with an active grub inside that has eaten out its substance. And then comes some secondary parasite , some ichneumon fly, and lays an egg within this grub, and behold! that, too, is a hollow shape, and the living thing inside its predecessor's skin which itself is snug within the seed coat. And the seed coat still keeps its shape, most people think it a seed still, and for all one knows it may still think itself a seed, vigourous and alive.
'Your Victorian kingdom' said Asano, ' was like that-kingship with its heart eaten out.' The landowners-the barons and gentry-began ages ago with King John; there were lapses, but they beheaded King Charles, and ended practically with King George, a mere husk of a king...the real power in the hands of their parliament. But the Parliament-the organ of the land-holding tenant-ruling gentry-did not keep its power long.
The change had already come in the nineteenth century. The franchises had been broadened until it incuded masses of ignorant men, "urban myriads" who went in their featureless thousands to vote together. And the natural consequence of a swarming constituency is the rule of the party organization.
Power was passing even in the Victorian time to the party machinery, secret, complex, and corrupt. Very speedily power was in the hands of great men of business who financed the machines. A time came when the real power and interest of the Empire rested visibly between the two party councils, ruling by newspapers and electoral organizations-two small groups of rich and able men, working at first in opposition, then presently together."

And then this, which is very important:

"There was a reaction of a genteel ineffectual sort. There were numberless books in existence, Asano said, to prove that-the publication of some of them was as early as Graham's sleep-a whole liturature or reaction in fact. The party of the reaction seems to have locked itself into its study and rebelled with unflinching determination-on paper. The urgent necessity of either capturing or depriving the party councils of power is a commen suggestion underlying all the thoughtful work of the early twentieth century, in both America and England, though both countries drove the same way.
That counter-revolution never came. It could never organise and keep pure. There was not enough of the old sentimentality, the old faith in righteousness, left among men. Any organisation that became big enough to influence the polls became complex enough to be undermined, broken up, or bought outright by capable rich men."


In "Days to Come" everybody works for The Labor Company, once called The Salvation Army(!!):

"The Labour Company had originally been a charitable organization; its aim was to supply food, shelter, and work to all comers. This it was bound to do by the conditions of its incorperation, and was also bound to supply food and shelter and medical attendance to all incapable of work who chose to demand its aid. In exchange these incapables paid labour notes, which they had to redeem upon recovery. They signed these labour notes with Thumb-Marks, which were photographed and indexed in such a way that this world-wide Labour Company could identify any of its two or three hundred million clients at the cost of an hour's inquiry. The day's labour was defined as two spells in a treadmill used for generating electrical force, or its equivalent, and its due performance could be enforced by law. In practice the Labour company found it advisable to add to its statutory obligations of food and shelter a few pence a day as an inducement to effort; and its enterprise had not only abolished pauperisation altogether, but supplied practically all but the highest and most responsible labour throughout the world. Nearly a third of the population of the world were its serfs and debtors from the cradle to the grave.
In this practical, unsentimental way the problem of the unemployed had been most satisfactorily met and overcome. No one starved in the public ways, and no rags, no costume less sanitary and sufficient than the Labour Company's hygenic but inelegant blue canvas, pained the eye throughout the whole world. It was the constant theme of the phonographic newspapers how much the world had progressed since nineteenth century days, when the bodies of those killed by the vehicular traffic or dead of starvation, were, they alleged, a common feature in all the busier streets."

There are "solutions" and alternatives to the problems and negative direction humanity is headed but the first step out of the box is to realise that it was never our real choice to come to where we are now, and in fact that we have been tricked into thinking and acting the way our controllers want all along.

Green businesses are promoted as the way of the future and in Vermont these Wind Energy companies are setting up shop for the long-term. They know which way the Elite Wind blows- it is in their favor and to the detriment of humanity.

For the time being it seems we are sadly headed for the future described by H.G. Wells...
