Here is a quote from the documentary. The quote could be applied to the war on terror, climate change and child snatching by the state :-

"fear and hysteria have replaced reason and good judgement - It is not the first time that the world has been caught up in a witch hunt where one group is villified and persecuted to allay the irrational fear of another"
---- Salem Witch trials documentary 1998

I definitely see the parallels, especially with the looming shadow of terrorists and everyone could be a paedophile .suspicion that's been encouraged. Although in the witch trails and in the English witch hunts it was down to a few shady characters(salem it was the group of girls, in England it was the self appointed witch finder general and his minion) and everyone just got caught up in the hysteria unlike now when it's the governments pushing the agenda down from on high, I'm sure they saw how it worked in the past and figured they could ramp up the hysteria themselves and have everyone ignoring all the dodgy crap they pull in favour of these bogey men.

There are comparisons too with Nazi Germany - Neighbours would be accusing each other of something (divide and rule), and it would end up in a lynching, until no-one dare voice their opinions any more, even in private they would be scared to question what was going on ("the walls have ears" etc) Yes "witch hunts" were a good way to get people to keep their head down and to keep quiet -The PTB like us to shut up and to do as we are told and to question nothing....or else! The bastards!

Thanks for your repy Merla I agree with all what you said. Btw I have got the DVD movie called Witch Finder General, it a real good movie, but it is very graphic with it's sadistic violence. Also I saw the movie "The Crucible" recently, based on the Salem Witch Trials, which was very good too.

The PTB are in full awareness of how to bring about a modern day witch hunt. Whilst we are pointing fingers at EACH OTHER, they are screwing us ALL.

Great point steevo.

I haven't watched the vid yet just replying to sub it so I can watch it later.

The extremes of religion work to further the PTBs agenda of divide and rule, keep the masses focused on trivial stuff so their eye's are off the ball.

Talking of religion, on the back of the Witchfinder General DVD it has this quote "Those who worship the beast will have no rest day or night ~~~Revelations, Chapter 14, Verse 9" - No wonder Tony Blair always looks so tired

Yep, oldest trick in the book.

One of the things in the video which I found interesting was that people in Salem had their land ownership rights taken away by the British King (5 years later that particular "law" was revoked) but it probably left the people feeling on edge and nervous. Also with the failure of the crops too (food shortages and panic), people would be very worried and would be looking for scapegoats.

That situation could come again if the PTB choose to go in that direction (ie food shortages; the state owning the land).

It's like the 'red menace' of communism in the 50s, the hysteria in America at that time was unbelievable. Someone only had to suggest you were a Commie and you'd be ruined.

Merla wrote:
Yeah I heard about that. It's wierd cos it now seems to ME that the new Global system IS gonna be a communist style dictatorship. So I can see why the mass hysteria occurred in America. A Communist system IS a REAL threat to freedom, whereas the idea of people performing witchcraft is just laughable IMO and I like to be open minded on stuff.

Looking back at the period in the 50's, I reckon that the politians and people of influence WERE probably being replaced with people who maybe were marxists or who had communist ideals and maybe SOME of them meant well. But it DID seem to create a bit of hysteria at the time and MAYBE some genuine non-communists were ruined. Maybe it was ALL part of the agenda ? I dont know.

Tony Blair and the rest of them aren't really beast's in the true sense of the word I think all of them lack empathy because they are caught up in the system and they can't buck the system for it was the system that made them get to the position their in.

I think placing label's such ism's etc, is another divide and rule technique which is part of the system, cause when you see all the different political systems they all forget one thing, the right to be free the right to a human being.

Boots wrote:
Yes all isms are purposely divisive IMO It's a trick they had done on our minds,

The truth is that we are all the same, but our "space suits" (as icke calls ithem), are different

Steevo wrote:
Yep, people like to focus on the space suit and then make an assessment based on what it looks like. Then we have the extremes of religion which are based on fear of someone being different and not thinking like them as is the case in the Salem Witch trails.

How they could brutally murder people the way they is beyond me and they do this based on a book that tells we are all are gods children.

Boots wrote:
I think that with the salem witch trials, the reason it snowballed so much is because anyone who opposed the trials were likely to be accused of being a witch, so people just kept quiet on it until it got SOOOO ridiculous that people just couldnt bare it any more, and it collapsed.....especially cos someone accused the wife (or whatever) of one of the bigwigs of being a witch lol

Steevo wrote:
LOL, when the shoes on the other foot the tune changes.

What happened back then is the same thing happening in today's society with regards to immigration, racism etc. the fear builds up so much that everyone who is suspect is immediately condemned, people will find any petty excuse to fit their mindset.

Hey my internet is actually working! For now.

I can only speak for my country, but....

Have you noticed there is always a 'boogie-man'? Spain (a long time ago), Communists, the Chinese, the Soviets, the South Americans, Japanese-Americans, Chinese -Americans, Native Americans, Palestine, brown people, black people, Middle Eastern people, those guys, these guys, the Cubans, Germany (a while back), Philippines, SE Asia, and the list goes on.

When has USA not had a boogie-man (designed to unite public opinion for some sort of agenda?)?

Everybody is against us. Everybody is jealous of us.

I've not been to another country, so perhaps I speak in a degree of ignorance, but I don't think I'm entirely doing so. Just for the record, I've known Americans who have visited other nations and prefer America, but I cannot speak of this from personal experience.

I can only have an American mindset as I was born and raised and lived in USA all my life, but thanks to this wonderful tool we are using (the internet), my mind is broadening. Not saying I'm not a Patriot, in fact, I am a Patriot, which I guess is why I'm disappointed in some things.

Crap, even claiming to be a Patriot makes folks wonder if you're gonna evade taxes and live in a self contained compound and kill people.

Crud, my modem lights are flickering funny-like. If I go off forum it's not by choice.

Coco yes even calling oneself a patriot is dangerous today. In fact ANY label can be used against you. The PTB only need to change the perception of the word in the minds of a critical mass of people and suddenly YOU are the latest bogie man,
I tend to say that i am patriotic but sometimes I decide not to (see how we censor ourselves), but they have somehow twisted it to mean that you are a nationalist/terrorist, similar to Aldolf Hitler or a "homegrown terrorist". I think that very recently David Icke posted an article on his headlines page which explained the difference between a patriot and a nationalist.

Hope your electric is still working

Thank you, Mr. Steevo. I agree with your assessment that 'spin doctoring' has been a successful method for many generations.

My electric is fine as is my computer, the issue is with my internet provider; They know I phase in and out and 'switch frequencies', but they don't know why or how. Techs have investigated remotely and physically tested the lines down the road and at the house. As soon as I can successfully go wireless, I'm closing my account with that company.

The darn thing worked from November 2010 until the latter part of May 2012 ,and suddenly the problem arose. I apologize to you and all should I seem to suddenly vanish. It's not by choice, I assure. All company here is too nice to abandon.
