“The SHADOW GOVERNMENT (cryptocracy, secret government, or invisible government) is a family of conspiracy theories based on the notion that real and actual political power resides not with publicly elected representatives but with private individuals who are exercising power behind the scenes, beyond the scrutiny of democratic institutions.” “According to this belief, the official elected government is in reality subservient to the SHADOW GOVERNMENT who are the true executive power.” (Wikipedia)
“A ‘SHADOW GOVERNMENT’ consisting of 75 or more senior officials has been living and working secretly outside Washington since Sept. 11 in case the nation’s capital is crippled by terrorist attack. ‘This is serious business,’ President Bush said of plans to ensure the continuity of government. Such an operation was conceived as a Cold War precaution against nuclear attack during the Eisenhower administration but never used until now. It went into effect in the first hours after the terror attacks and has evolved over time, said senior government officials who provided details of the plan. Without confirming details of the government-in-waiting, Mr. Bush told reporters in Iowa: ‘We take the continuity of government issue seriously because our nation was under attack. and I still take the threats we receive from al Qaeda killer and terrorists very seriously’.” (CBS News, Francie Grace, March 2, 2002.)
There have been movies, documentaries, books, and TV shows about the existence of a SHADOW GOVERNMENT. Once again, it is impossible in a short blog to detail all theories and realities around this subject, but what we will attempt to do is pull back the curtain a little more upon this issue to expose maybe more clearly the What, Who and Why.
What? In addition to the first two paragraphs above, one a simple definition, and the latter an actual application, there is little doubt that an on-going SHADOW GOVERNMENT is not a reality. Even every simpleton always has a “Plan B”, in case “Plan A” fails, regardless of the simplicity or complexity of the task to be accomplished. Consider how our government operates. When we elect a President, that individual comes with their chosen Vice President. Beyond those two individuals, and maybe the hints they dropped along the way as to who they might eventually include as cabinet officials, “The President can appoint almost 1300 federal positions in the executive branch that the Senate then reviews and approves. The most prestigious positions appointed by the president are known as the president’s ‘cabinet.’ The cabinet is composed of 15 chief roles of executive administrative departments.” (iagreetosee.com.) This group is what we would call “Plan A”.
WHO: That sounds like a lot of people, but for a moment consider the size of the government these individuals are supposed to be in charge of who then supposedly carry out the agenda of the elected government. Let’s look at “Plan B”. How does 23.7 million strike you? (usafacts.org.) In January of 2015, the 22 million employed by the U.S. government equated to “. . . around 14% of the labor force and 7% of the total population.” (quora.com.) Let’s add to that number those NGO’s (Non-Governmental Organizations) we discussed in our blog on November 7, 2021 titled BELTWAY BANDITS. We disclosed that there were approximately 1.5 million NGOs operating in the U.S. on January 1, 2021. These accounted for more than 12 million people, more than 10% of the total workforce in the U.S. These organizations are often funded in part or total by grants given to them by the current government in power, and their funding can continue for many years beyond their initial grant period. Once granted, some of these NGOs are very difficult to un-fund. Once funded by the current government in power, they are often the ones chosen to support, uphold, or expand upon the desired objectives of the government. It is therefore easy to see that at any one time, approximately one-quarter of everyone employed in this county can be employed to carry out the wishes of the government, without any of them ever being elected through our democratic processes. Lest we think that the influence of policy and procedure within our Nation ends with one-quarter of our working force actually being paid to carry out the current governmental policies, let’s also throw in the mix other entities within our Nation that have a supportive or adversarial role in both policy and procedure within our Nation. Let us just list a few: Woke Minority, Media, Sports Figures, Scientific Journals, Big Pharma, Elite Corporations, Rich Elites, Social Monopolies, Artificial Intelligence, and of course do not forget the “real” governmental bureaucracy who operate unseen and undetected under the elected government officials. Elected officials then are not always those who originate policy and procedure, but often are those who are herded into being simple messengers. Often the policy of the elected government is either ignored, manipulated and morphed into actions approved by the SHADOW GOVERNMENT. We recognize these players in our Nation as “Plan B”, but there are other interested parties who desire to put their stamp of approval upon the direction of our Nation, indeed upon the world. These forces are the puppeteers, the pullers of the strings, those who care not for governments, policies, procedures, or the welfare of people in general. They care only for their power and wealth, the tools to achieve their goals. This leads us to the last of the three questions posed in our blog title above.
WHY: Few things in life ever happen by chance. Such it is with the nature of our Nation, and in fact the world at large. The United States is the leader of the free world. It was the design set in motion by our Founding Fathers to inspire productivity, advancement, and success. In such a short period of time, in terms of human history, our Nation has become the leader of nearly every advancement for the human condition, from travel to medicine, from agriculture to engineering, from science to culture, from technology to theater. We have fought two World Wars to defeat authoritarianism, and have freed millions from its clutches, and in doing so shed our own precious blood and treasure. No other Nation has ever given so much. It is without argument that the world has looked to our Nation as the defender of FREEDOM and LIBERTY, and as the templet for those who seek the same. Therefore, as goes our Nation, so will go the world. What we are fighting for is not simply the survival of the roots of our Nation, but the survival of the world at large. Why then is our Nation under attack? That which is being thrust upon us is a de-growth agenda, where the quiet part is never said out loud, “we must learn to get along with less.” No longer is it the American Dream to own your own home, but it is rapidly becoming a life dependent upon big government. There will be less and less access to your wants and dreams, but only more and more reliance upon what big government can provide. Regression has already begun, just open your eyes to see it. Critical Race Theory (CRT) is de-constructing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream where all are judged not on the color of their skin, but on the content of their character, and now we are being separated into warring factions, tribal communities. What the Industrial Revolution has brought us, is coming to a screeching halt, and anyone not in the upper crust of society around the world will find regression into base instincts, where these notions will not only become common place, but will be mandated as the only form of proper human life experience and expression. No longer will underlings be able to seek to improve their lives through economic and capitalistic gains, but society will be compelled to devolve into the lowest common denominator where everyone gets a “participation” trophy, regardless of effort, desire, or general competence. This does not sound like the FREEDOM and LIBERTY granted to us by the generations who now lie in their graves having given their all for our benefit. All of this is NOT by accident, but by intended design. Only a few have anointed themselves the rulers of this world.
There is a “Plan C” floating about within our world that cares not for national borders, national pride or progress, the poor and down-trodden, or even peace in our time. There is a song by the group Eagles, written shortly after the 9-11 attack on our Nation. It is titled “Hole in the World”. The lyrics begin this way: “There’s a hole in the world tonight. There’s a cloud of fear and sorrow. There’s a hole in the world tonight. Don’t let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.” Call it up on your phone or laptop and listen to it. It has a great message we all could learn a thing or two from. We, our Nation, in fact the world at large, are in jeopardy, and if we all don’t join together, to care for each other, to honor each other, to shun the attacks, extend forgiveness, and seek a higher plain of existence, we will all suffer in one way or another. This message is especially for those who are “. . . rich beyond the dreams of avarice [greedy].” (Samuel Johnson, 1712-1757), those who live above the fray, in gated communities, who stand behind the curtain of Oz, pulling the levers, the puppeteers who manipulate the strings of society to their benefit and purposes. They will never be negatively impacted by their abuse of power, and their quest for digital immortality, their belief in Homo Deus, where man is god. They strive for a post homo sapiens environment, through advancing technologies in gene editing (rewriting genetic codes), bionics, and Artificial Intelligence (AI), inserting a reverse engineered human brain into a metaverse through neuron enhancement (brain implants), to ultimately achieve their goal of continued existence, not in human flesh, but in digitally created beings, a life of Virtual Reality (VR), decoupled from physical reality. The imbodied internet now becomes your new reality. The digitalized brain becoming part of the hive mind, being all knowing, all superior, their godly immortality. Their ego allows them to believe their soul lies within the brain, because they lack any form of religious faith. If this sounds like a science novel, so did Star Treks medical scanners (TV show from 1966 to 1969), which you can now buy as a simple gun to point at you to determine your temperature, or Jules Verne’s novel “From the Earth to the Moon” (published in English in 1867), now a dream made real over 50 years ago. Add in those categories of self-landing planes, self-driving cars, and the World Wide Web, connecting all of us to this blog and beyond. The foundation for this new existence has already been laid. Now, you are aware that there is a SHADOW GOVERNMENT, WHAT it really is, WHO is a part of this plan, and WHY this is happening to our Nation, and to our world at large. We encourage all to be aware and on the lookout. Do not allow yourself to be caught unawares. To be forewarned is to be forearmed.
