MizNickson, I surely do appreciate this sentence: 'What I am attempting is to skirt the depths of paranoia by using real world data, and actual documents, as well as planning that is in the public domain and established fact.'

Five years ago I overhead an interesting quote and the person who gave it was kind enough to attribute the quote to George Santayana, from the only novel that Mr. Santayana ever wrote: "The Last Puritan." They say he worked on that novel in his spare time and it took him 35 years to finish it.

George Santayana was a member of the elite class of whom you've written here. From what little I've read of his non-fiction work I've gotten the impression that GS was quietly outraged by the cruel exploitations his brahmin class practiced against the lower classes, especially the middle class.

They say GS was an atheist. I find that hard to believe. He lived the last decade of his life in a convent in Rome, cared for by Irish nuns. George Santayana died in their care in 1952. From my experience, Irish sisters of that generation did not truck with atheists.

Anyway, 'The Last Puritan' gives readers a fair glimpse of the hard-hearted vanity, self-righteousness and vainglory of the so-called elite. The most elite of them all is Satan and he's doomed. That's gotta tellya somethin' right? Satan is the strawboss to whom these mortal elites are enthralled:

Luke 4:5-8 > > And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

Thank you for your personal courage to eschew the golden lure of the "Illuminati". I appreciated your comments about early learned dining table manners that if not followed immediately cued the members of the "In Class" to freeze you out of their confidences and honesty. I have felt that sudden freeze out several times in my life. I am reminded of the dinner scene with Cate Blanchette and Leonardo DiCaprio in the "Aviator" where Howard Hughes fails the test of acceptance. I sincerely hope that middle American/Suburban women wake up and understand that abortion is not the litmus issue for a politician but rather his policies against the onslaught of Socialism and elite control of our destinies.
