The Real Powers Behind 'President' Barack Obama


The Real Powers Behind 'President' Barack Obama

Barack Obama is truly not the President of the United States. He is not a powerful person at all. Rather, he is a front man for more powerful entities that hide in the shadows.

The real power in the world is not the United States, Russia, or even China. It is Rome. The Roman Catholic Church (Vatican) is the single most powerful force in the world.

However, the Vatican has been under the control of it's largest all-male order, the Jesuits. The Jesuits were created in 1534 to serve as the "counter-reformation" -- the arm of the Church that would help to fight the Muslims and the Protestant Reformers. However, they fought with espionage. The Jesuits were expelled from at least 83 countries and cities for subversion, espionage, treason, and other such things. Samuel Morse said that the Jesuits were the foot soldiers in the Holy Alliance (Europe and the Vatican) plan to destroy the United States (Congress of Vienna). Marquis Lafayette stated that the Jesuits were behind most of the wars in Europe, and that they would be the ones to take liberty from the United States.

The head of the Jesuit Order is Adolfo Nicholas. His title is Superior General of the Jesuits. The use of the rank "general" is because the Jesuits are, in reality, a military organization.

Nicholas, as the Jesuit General, is the most powerful man in the world. He ultimately issues the commands that are administered by drones like Obama.

The Jesuit General is nicknamed "The Black Pope" because he always wears black robes. Pope Benedict XIV is, thus, the "White Pope".

Directly under the Jesuit General is Fr. James E. Grummer, S.J. -- one of the five Jesuit priests who serve as direct "assistants" to the Jesuit General. Grummer is his American assistant, and controls the US Jesuit Conference. He is the controller of every American Jesuit university and every American Jesuit Provincial. The New York Provincial has the most contact with Grummer (as the top provincial).

Under Grummer is the President of the US Jesuit Conference, Fr. Thomas H. Smolich, S.J., who was the Jesuit Provincial of California during the reign of Governor Arnold Schwarznegger. Smolich was the power behind Arnold during these years. Smolich is a key force behind the planned Sino-Soviet-Muslim invasion, which the Jesuit Order is planning to use to bring down the United States. He is also actively involved in the orchestration of the Chinese-Mexican invasion.

Under Smolich is Fr. David S. Ciancimino, S.J., the Jesuit Provincial of New York. He is the top Jesuit Provinical in the United States, as New York is the capital of the Jesuit Order's power (that's why it was chosen as the staging area for 9/11). Here, Ciancimino (and the Jesuits beneath him) control Wall Street, the NYSE, and the Federal Reserve Bank. Ciancimino controls Archbishop Timothy Dolan, the most powerful Roman Catholic official in the United States who is not a Jesuit. Ciancimino is an occultist, as are many other top Jesuits.

Directly under Ciancimino is Fr. Joseph M. McShane, S.J., who is the President of Fordham University -- the Jesuit college of New York, and the Jesuits' military stronghold there. It is through McShane that the Jesuits (led by Ciancimino in New York) control Archbishop Timothy Dolan. He has become known as the "penholder" for Dolan. He wears a decorative necklace that features an equilateral triangle, a Masonic symnol of the Risen Horus.

Under the control of these powerful Jesuits is Pope Benedict XIV, the Vicar of Christ (Horus) and the current Roman Papal Caesar. He represents Osiris in mystery-school/occult mythology.

Below Pope Benedict XIV is the Timothy Dolan, the Archbishop of New York. Dolan is the "American Pope" and the "Archbishop of the Capital of the World". He heads the American branches of the Knights of Malta and Knights of Columbus. He is a likely occultist and the controller of American Freemasonry, the CFR, the ADL (B'nai B'rith), the Pentagon, and the intelligence community.

Joseph A. O’Hare, S.J. is the President Emeritus of Fordham University and the man directly under Egan. He is a Knight of Malta and has presided over CFR meetings as Egan's operative. He is an adviser to David Rockefeller (Knight of Malta), Henry Kissinger (Knight of Malta), and Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York. He is, thus, the Jesuit who directly controls the city mayor. He is also the Jesuit who controls the Rockefeller-Kissinger apparatus, of which the CFR is a key part.

O'Hare is a devoted Zionist who supports the State of Israel, which was created in 1948 by the United Nations (UN) -- a creation of the Archbishop of New York's Council on Foreign relations). It was Archbishop Francis Spellman of New York who solicited votes at the UN for Israel. Spellman played a key role in Israel's founding. The founder of Zionism was Theodor Herzl, who had frequent meetings with the Pope and had once planned to lead the jewish people in a "mass conversion" to Roman Catholicism. The true designers, financiers, and promoters of Zionism are the Rothschilds, who Encyclopedia Judaica describes as "guardians of the papal treasure". That's right -- the Rothschilds are the banking agents of the Papacy. The State of Israel is just the revived Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem, and it's under the Vatican's thumb.

Below O'Hare is John J. DeGioa, the President of Georgetown University. DeGioa is also a Knight of Malta and a member of the CFR. He is one of the over-seers of the State of Israel.


Below DeGioa, we find Richard N. Haas -- the Chairman of the CFR. Haas is ultimately simply a lowly agent of Archbishop Egan. Haas is a Jewish Labor Zionist and oversees the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). These Jewish Zionists are mainly just Papal Court jewish people.

Below Haas is Zbigniew Brzezinski, who was a member of the CFR, Bilderberg Group, and Trilateral Commission. Brzezinski had co-founded the Trilateral Commission. He was a Knight of Malta, as was the other founder of the Trilateral Commission - David Rockefeller. Brzezinski is a Polish Roman Catholic and an adviser to Georgetown University.

Brzezinski was Soetoro's professor at Columbia University, and recruited him for presidential grooming. Are we beginning to see the big picture?

Once Brzezinski created "presidential candidate" Obama, his campaign was financed and promoted by the multi-billionaire behind hundreds of organizations on the "political left" -- George Soros. Soros was a high-ranking CFR member and a member of the Carlyle Group, an international corporation that served as a front for the Vatican. Soros, a Hungarian jewish, was a strong socialist-communist (like Brzezinski). Like Haas, Brzezinski was a Papal Court jewish and a Labor Zionist. He is also a Freemason. He is a friend of Rupert Murdoch. Soros is a major stockholder in Halliburton.

Murdoch is the protector of Obama, controlling his opposition. Murdoch was knighted by the Pope in 1998 for making large contributions to the Roman Catholic Church. He has said that his corporation - News Corp - is "just like the Jesuits" while speaking at Georgetown University. Murdoch is a member of the CFR.

Joseph R. Biden is the Vice President, and is directly under the Vatican's big-wheel operatives (Soros and Murdoch). He is Roman Catholic and has been honored at two Jesuit universities. His son is a Jesuit volunteer and a lobbyist for a Jesuit university he attended.

Under the guidance of Biden, we find Barack Obama, a 32nd Degree Freemason who has been trained in Romanism.

3300 missile warheads and a missile making machine were recently intercepted in Jamaica and authorities have no idea where they were headed or what they were going to be used for. With government agencies warning of terror attacks to come here in America, have the terrorists upped their game to missile warheads or was this a secretive black-op CIA shipment going to terrorists in the Middle East that got shut down? Video coverage of this story begins at the 40 second mark.
Jamaican authorities have seized 3,300 warheads and a missile-making machine at the port of Kingston and sought help from international police in tracking the shipper, Jamaican media reported Friday.
The unauthorized arms shipment was discovered Thursday afternoon in a police and customs operation carried out at a berth of Kingston Wharves, the RJR News site reported.
A high-level investigation has been launched, and Jamaican police have asked for assistance from international law enforcement, the news service said.
It was unclear from any of the reports of the seized ordnance how large the warheads were, what type of launch device they were intended to arm or whether the shipment’s end destination was Jamaica or another country.

CONSEQUENTLY, in the interest of future world order, peace, and tranquility, it was decided to privately wage a quiet war against the American public with an ultimate objective of permanently shifting the natural and social energy (wealth) of the undisciplined and irresponsible many into the hands of the self-disciplined, responsible, and worthy few. [1] Energy Section [Emphasis added]
The above paragraph, along with hundreds of similar philosophical ideas, comes from a document that had its ‘conception’ after the end of World War II, and which was to become the playbook for what United States of America citizens apparently are experiencing today.
This is what it was – and is – all about:
In conclusion, the objective of economic research, as conducted by the magnates of capital (banking) and the industries of commodities (goods) and services, is the establishment of an economy which is totally predictable and manipulatable. [1] Energy Section [Emphasis added]
The last word “manipulatable” apparently is referring to the economy being capable of being manipulated. If nothing more, that paragraph sets the guidelines for the economic downturn the USA has experienced and from which it seems not to be recovering, nor will it ever recover, if the controllers and other “worthy few” have their say and way. Now, doesn’t it all make sense? Oh, how we have been played like a fiddle that’s never had the tune up it so badly needs!
Additionally, they set out deliberately to dumb down the population illustrated in phrases like:
The quality of education given to the lower class must be of the poorest sort, so that the meat of ignorance isolating the the [sic] inferior class from the superior class is and remains incomprehensible to the inferior class. With such an initial handicap, even bright lower class individuals have little if any hope of extricating themselves from their assigned lot in life. This form of slavery is essential to maintaining some measure of social order, peace, and tranquility for the ruling upper class. [Emphasis added]
How many U.S. citizens realize that they have been programmed from pre-school or kindergarten to be living in slavery so that the “ruling upper class” can have “some measure of social order, peace, and tranquility”? Who ever heard of such elitist class action warfare? Maybe in Germany in the late 1930s.
Under the subtitle of “Descriptive Introduction of the Silent Weapon,” we find how they planned to implement their “Quiet War” with this:
It [the war] shoots situations, instead of bullets; propelled by data processing, instead of chemical reaction (explosion); originating from bits of data, instead of grains of gunpowder; from a computer, instead of a gun; operated by a computer programmer, instead of marksman; under the orders of a banking magnate, instead of a military general.
Unabashedly, they acknowledge the game plan using data processing, the computer, and the banksters (banking magnate). So much for all the technology everyone bought into that has us so enthralled, we don’t know which end is up, i.e., to answer a cell phone or voice mail; send a tweet or finger a text message using phonics instead of words. See how dumb we’ve become.
In talking about all the technology, they say this about their silent, secret weapon(s): BIG SNIP

The Jesuit Agenda

The Jesuit Agenda

(This blog is the official communication outlet for the Resistance Movement.)

Thursday, November 28, 2013 

The Jesuit agenda is to infiltrate the Eastern Alliance with its agents and hijack the process of creating the new financial system. Needless to say, top people within the Eastern Alliance are aware of this and will not let it happen. Also, top members of the White Dragon Society have learned their lesson after their predecessors were fooled decades ago when they surrendered much of their gold to Jesuit agents for worthless pieces of paper (US government bonds). The White Dragons are much more careful now, especially as the Jesuits are trying to infiltrate them through Te-Wu, the Chinese secret intelligence agency.

The Jesuit plan is to let the Light forces purge the Illuminazi faction (Rockefeller, Bush, Kissinger, Cheney & Co.) and then secretly team up with the Rothschilds to take over the process of creating the new financial system. Their agents are present on endless negotiations for the surrender of the Cabal and they are trying to steer the agreements closer to the Jesuit agenda. This is the source of proposals to make the Pope the new M1 (monetary controller). This is the reason why the new Jesuit Pope is promoting the idea of a central world bank. They are also seriously considering the idea of allowing a worldwide debt jubilee so that they would be portrayed as saviors of humanity under the wings of »benevolent« Catholic church. They would then promote the Catholic cult in a renewed, more publicly appealing way, and gradually absorb other religions into it (starting with Buddhism) until they would reach their goal of a global religious mind programming cult, at the same time keeping all past atrocities of the Catholic church under the carpet.

Through special compartmentialized CIA programs they have infiltrated the truther movement to the point that about 70% of intel in alternative media is disinfo coming directly or indirectly from Jesuit sources. I have a list of people and groups inside the truther / liberation movement that are either under direct Jesuit control or are manipulated by the Jesuits and it may or may not be released in the near future.

The Jesuits are working under the command of the Archons to maintain the quarantine status of planet Earth. It is good to know that the Jesuit organization is a 16th century creation of the Farnese family, which is one of the most powerful papal Black Nobility families in Italy.
One of the reasons the Jesuits have created WW2 was to orchestrate a wordlwide gold grab to finance their black budget programs to maintain the quarantine status of our planet (secret space program, deep underground military bases). Operation Golden Lily was a Jesuit operation and general Yamashita was a puppet in the hands of the Jesuits:


It is good now to mention the role of the Positive Templars in the Jesuit downfall. Through a strategically brilliant move they temporarily sided with their arch-enemies Rothschilds and together they triggered the March revolution in 1848 and 1849 through Memphis-Misraim Egyptian freemasonry groups in Italy, France and Hungary. These were the only main freemasonry groups that were not infiltrated by Jesuits by then.

The March revolution in Europe has significantly lessened the power of the Jesuits as it decreased the influence of the Black Nobility, removed feudalism and accelerated the slavery abolition process worldwide. The living conditions for many humans started to improve. Also, the focus of humanity started to shift from emotionally based Jesuit religious control into the mind, which was further promoted with advance of science and universal education.

Needles to say, the temporary alliance between the Positive Templars and the Rothschilds was over as soon as the March revolution has ended. It is interesting to note that the March revolution was financed with gold bullion which would now be worth only about $10 million. Organizing a drastic world change does not need to be very expensive.

Now the Positive Templars are creating a much more powerful alliance with another, much more positive group and together they will eradicate the Jesuit power from the surface of this planet forever.

Currently the Jesuits are the main operational task force for the Archons to maintain the quarantine status for planet Earth.

Their previous superior general Hans Peter Kolvenbach is instrumental in keeping the fear vibration among humanity on the surface of this planet. He is the mastermind behind the 911 (Twin Towers) and 311 (Fukushima) false flag attacks and the main engineering force behind the Syria conflict. He is conveniently living in Lebanon, very close to Syrian border.

Papal adviser Heinz (Henry) Kissinger created PI-40, a clandestine group which is now the main Jesuit-controlled force for preventing positive ET contact:


The real reason why the Jesuits created CIA, NSA, NRO and NGA was to monitor and evaluate the threat that positive ET races pose to the their empire.

Main purpose of CIA is to install Jesuit-friendly political regimes throughout the planet and especially to dictate their policy regarding positive ETs. The main programming center of the
Jesuits is Georgetown university in Washington:


It might be interesting to note that many CIA directors went through Jesuit programming there. George Tenet, who was a CIA director at the time of the 911 false flag, was a Georgetown university graduate. David Petraues, who was a CIA director a few years ago, completed a military fellowship at Georgetown university. Previous CIA director Michael Morell is a Georgetown post-graduate. Current CIA director John O. Brennan received a B.A. from Fordham university, another major Jesuit programming center.

Also secretaries of defense like to visit Georgetown a lot. Donald Rumsfeld, who was a secretary of defense during the 911 false flag, attended Georgetown (he was not good at school though). Robert Gates, who was a secretary of defense between 2006 and 2011, achieved his Ph. D. at Georgetown. Chuck Hagel, the current secretary of defense, was a professor at Georgetown. The role of secretaries of defense is to strengthen the negative military under Jesuit control. Until 2004 their role was also to oversee the process of creation of deep underground military bases. After 2004, all those bases were cleared by the Resistance.

The main purpose of NSA is to monitor ALL electronic communications on the planet without exceptions and intercept, analyze and evaluate all messages that would indicate a contact with benevolent ET intelligence or with the Resistance as any trace of that contact would pose a perceived threat to the Jesuit empire.

The main purpose of NRO is to constantly monitor the surface of our planet and its vicinity for any trace of positive ET contact. If any such contact occurs, the NRO then notifies the negative military which then removes that positive ET contact one way or another as it perceives it as threat to the Jesuit empire.

The main purpose of NGA is to map the surface of the planet in detail as to control it completely.

The power structure of the Jesuits in the USA looks like this:


Apart from people mentioned above I would like to mention Leon Panetta, who was both a secretary of defense and CIA director and was programmed at the Santa Clara Jesuit university.

Janet Napolitano, who was a head of DHS until recently, graduated from the same Jesuit university.

You might also want to look at the map of 10 FEMA regions within the United States:

 

And compare it to the map of 10 Jesuit provinces within the US:


To clarify, I did not reveal the Jesuit agenda to install fear, but to inform and bring awareness to the situation. There are Light forces at work and they will NOT allow the Jesuit agenda to be successful.

Victory of the Light is near!

Wayne County, NC - Civil War Account by Harriet Cobb Lane
----¤¤¤----
FOR MY CHILDREN
by
Harriet Cobb Lane
[Note: This was written by Mrs. Lane so that her children's children would have some idea of their turmoil during the Civil War. This was found inthe attic of an old house near Bentonville, North Carolina, many, many years ago. The gentleman who purchased the house gave it to me, J.C.Knowles, Jr., May 1989]
A story giving some of the experiences of the War of 1861-1865 and of the times when Sherman fought the last battle of the War at Bentonville, North Carolina, and of the privations of those who lived along the line of its march in Wayne County, North Carolina.
I am a daughter of Mr. William D. Cobb and wife, Ann Collier. My father lived on his plantation nine miles from Goldsboro, Wayne County, on the south side of the Neuse River. He was a stock farmer and did not raise cotton until the war began in 1861. All southern farmers then raised cotton to help clothe the Confederate soldiers. We did not approve of succession, but wanted to fight for States Rights under the flag which our fathers had fought for.
I was born and reared on the plantation. Before the war, the planters employed governesses for their children, while young. Then they were sent to preparatory schools before entering college. My sister and I were sent to the Misses Nash and Kellock's Preparatory School in Hillsborough, Orange County, in 1860, and we were there when North Carolina seceded from the Union, and we helped with some of the other school girls, to raise the first Confederate Flag over the Court House. North Carolina seceded May 20th, 1861,
My father gave four sons to the Confederate service. They were among the first to volunteer when Governor Ellis called for volunteers to defend the State. My brothers, Col. John P. Cobb, Capt. Bryan W. Cobb, and Dr. William H.H. Cobb, all volunteered as privates, but were made officers in the 2nd Regiment of North Carolina State Troops. My brother, Dr. William H.H. Cobb graduated in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania just in time to get home and volunteer. At first he was in the 2nd Regiment, but was later transferred to the 4th Regiment as Assistant Surgeon. My fourth brother, Rev. Needham B. Cobb was Chaplain of the 4th Regiment; all were first sent to Fort Steel for a few days, then to Virginia, and fought under Lee. My brother Needham's health failed the latter part of the war, and he moved with his family to Raleigh.
After the death of Colonel Charles Yen, (First Colonel of the 2nd Regiment), my brother John was promoted for bravery on the battlefield, from Captain of Company H to Colonel, and brother Bryan W. Cobb was then made Captain. My brothers Dr. W.H.H. Cobb and Capt. Bryan W. Cobb fought through the war and surrendered with Lee at Appomattox. My brother, Col. John Cobb lost a leg in the Battle of Winchester, Virginia, September 19th, 1864, was taken prisoner and confined in Fort McHenry until Lee surrendered.
New Bern fell into the hands of the Yankees, March 21, 1862. My father soon moved his family to a farm four miles from Bentonville (where the last battle of the war was fought 1865). Just after he moved, General Burnside came from New Bern on a march for Goldsboro, passing our place, but our forces had burned the bridge at Spring Bank on Neuse River, six miles from Goldsboro; after being repulsed by our troops, with his army, returned to New Bern.
After a short time my father moved back to his home, and left his daughter, Mrs. Nathan B. Whitfield living there. My father and her husband were members of the Home Guard. After the Battle of Bentonville, Sherman marched to Goldsboro, passing, and resting one night on my father's plantation. The day before Sherman reached our home, my father called his slaves together and said to them, "in a few days you will be free; Sherman will be here and destroy everything; the crop is already planted; he cannot destroy that. We have lived together in peace, as you know; the land, seed, and fertilizer are mine; if you stay and work the crop, you can gather it in two portions; you then select a man and I will select one and these men shall say which portion I am to have." Our negroes remained on the place and finished the crop.
Sherman had given orders to his troops when he reached Fayetteville to destroy all property, private and public, which would be of any use to the enemy; that he was going to wind up the war. The order is recorded in the Congressional Records of the United States in Washington, D.C. His army carried out his instructions along his line of march. They destroyed our household furniture, leaving the bed on which my sick mother lay, and a large dining table and a few chairs, which were once the property of a Colonial Governor of North Carolina (Governor Tryon) whose furniture was confiscated and sold at auction in New Bern, after the Revolutionary War, and the dining room suite was bought by my grandfather, John Cobb, of Kinston, North Carolina.
This table and chairs were left for Sherman and his officers to use while they rested on our plantation. His army destroyed literally every useful thing, filling all the wells on the place with dead hogs, shooting the cows and all other living things, leaving what they did not want lying on the ground. They rolled all the barrels filled with the year's supply of molasses into the front hall, burst in the heads, and let the molasses run on the floor, after which they brought quantities of rice, oats, peas, meal, etc, and poured all of this on the molasses; then went up stairs, cut the feather beds and shook the feathers down on it, and then ran horses over it, through the house. They broke out all the window panes, broke doors and window blinds, cut up the carpets and made saddle blankets for their horses. They killed every living thing on the place, except the rats and dogs and carried off all the remaining years supply of food stuff.
My parents and the negroes lived a few days on the dead fowls. The Yankees moved my mother's maid with her family into the room adjoining my mother's bedroom thinking they would be humiliated living in the house with their former slaves. These negroes proved a blessing; they cooked for the Yankees and thus got food for my parents, as long as the army was passing. Of course the dead fowls soon got beyond being useful for food. So after the main army passed, the stragglers who followed put a rope around my father's neck and were going to hang him, but did not, as the negro men interfered and drove them off. My sister, with her two children, who were then living on the farm near Bentonville, was left alone with her slaves, while her husband was with the Home Guards. No one ever expected Sherman to reach North Carolina by way of Bentonville, but were looking for the Yankees to come from New Bern, Bentonville being the last battle of the war, Sherman made a triumphant march to Orange County, and the last remnant o
f General Johnson's army of Confederate Soldiers surrendered to him in April 1865.
Our Government had a gunboat stationed at Kinston and trees all along the banks of the Neuse River below the town of New Bern had been cut and thrown in the river, thus keeping the river free from Yankee boats which might come if New Bern fell. That is why Burnside came by land instead of by boats. Also General Schofield and his army rested on our place while on their way to Goldsboro.
In 1864 my sister and I were day scholars at St. Mary's, Raleigh, but after Richmond fell we quit school and went in the hospitals as nurses. All the wounded from Richmond and Petersburg were brought to Raleigh, and later from Bentonville. Every available place was filled with wounded soldiers: school buildings, fair grounds and private houses. The ladies of Louisburg had sent a car load of cooked provisions to my brother Rev. N.B. Cobb, to be distributed to the retreating army of General Johnson.
My parents also had sent a quantity of cooked food before Sherman came to our home, to be given to the wounded men in Raleigh. My brother called some of the Raleigh ladies to help distribute the food. Negro servants were stationed on the side walks along Fayetteville Street, who filled baskets for the ladies who stood on each side of the retreating army. Poor, ragged (bare-footed many of them), worn and weary Boys in Gray. The City Officials went down to meet Sherman the day before and surrendered the City and asked protection for the people and property.
Wheeler's Calvary of the Confederate Army passed through the City at night, next morning, Sherman came marching triumphant up Fayetteville Street, at the head of his army. Several of Wheeler's men had turned back, to fire the depot in which was stored all the remaining ammunition of the Confederacy, and food supplies were piled around the depot. One of the men rode down the street and fired on Sherman, turning down another street, and through several other streets before he was captured near St. Mary's school. Sherman wanted to hang him in Capitol Square but the city officials prevailed on him not to do so. He was killed near St. Mary's. When the bomb shells in the burning depot began to burst, the citizens thought Sherman was waging war on the City. One twelve year old white girl was killed by the bursting bombs. Guards were placed at every man's door to prevent angry soldiers from entering private homes.
As soon as a woman was permitted to ride the train, I went with my uncle, Col. George Collier and his wife, back to my old home, and to my distressed parents. After reaching Goldsboro my uncle had to take the oath of allegiance to the U.S. Government before we were furnished a ragged topped ambulance, and two old blind cast-off army horses and a negro driver. We had to cross Neuse River on a pontoon bridge, the real bridge having been burned by our soldiers on their retreat. This bridge was made of planks placed cross-wise on two lines of small boats (or canoes).
A regiment of negro soldiers was stationed there, with white officers. The Colonel placed a line of soldiers on each side of the bridge, and with two more leading the horses, we got in and drove across the bounding bridge in a pouring rain. He had told us to get out before starting across, as the blind horse might turn off and plunge in the river. When we reached home, I found my mother still sick in bed, with her faithful servants waiting on her. My parents and the negroes were then drawing rations from the Commissary in Goldsboro, the negroes walking nine miles bringing their portions, and my parents also, in bags on their backs.
On the plantation was a large Mulberry orchard, planted for the hogs. These berries were ripe when I came home. There was a negro regiment stationed near the house and the white Colonel told my little brother if he would gather and deliver the berries to his soldiers, they would pay him $2 per gallon.
The Yankees had destroyed ail the vessels on the place and we picked up tin cans (some large and some small) on the camp ground, which Sherman's army had left, and he and the negroes gathered and delivered many gallons of berries and came back with empty cans and pockets full of greenback money and feeling happy over the prospect of buying better food from somewhere.
My brothers came home with only the clothes on their backs. We borrowed beds etc. from neighbors who did not live along the line of march, and when my brothers and father changed their underclothes, they went to bed and the negro women took their clothes to the branch one-fourth mile from the house, where we were all forced to get drinking water, bringing it that distance in cans.
After the Battle of Bentonville my sister was left without food or protection. An officer in blue advised her to take her two children and the two negro women with her, and leave, as he could not protect her, but not get separated from the two negroes. She left with them, walking four miles in the woods, just far enough from the marching Yankee army not to be lost of discovered by them; she reached a neighbor, widow Cogdel, whose son, a Confederate soldier had been wounded, and was lying delirious with fever. The Yankees had not been there, and Mrs. Cogdel was having dinner cooked for sister and the children when a squad of Yankees, on horses, rode up, taking her horses, and firing the house in several places.
My sister, Mrs. Cogdel, her daughter and the servants carried her son out on a bed, to a field near the house, and there saw the house burn down. Just after sunset, an officer in blue rode up and asked what they were doing there. My sister replied, "To starve and die." After a few minutes he said, "My God, I have a wife and little ones at home," and dashing off soon returned with an ambulance and took them six miles further to a Mr. McCullen's where the Yankees had been, but had not burned the house. There they spent the night.
The next morning Mr. McCullen found a cart wheel, and a buggy wheel and an axle which the Yankees failed to cut or burn with other things, and with a few pieces of plank, fixed a conveyance for them to ride in. She then went ten miles to her mother-in-law, Mrs. Sarah Whitfield.
The Yankees had not been there, but while she was giving her experiences quite a lot of them came. She did not live on the line of march, but these men were stragglers from Sherman's Army which had passed on their way to Goldsboro the day before. The old grandmother, 84 years old, lived with her daughter and grand-daughter whose sons were in Lee's Army. The deaf old woman had fallen a month before and was in bed with a broken hip. The Yankees ordered her to get up, which she could not do, then one took her by the feet and one took her shoulders, and tossed her across the room, going out, locking the door, bidding none to go out or to come in. It was cool spring weather and a fire was burning; as night came the fire gave light as long as it lasted. The lamps and candles had been taken out before the Yankees came, to be trimmed and washed.
As the fire grew low, the old lady begged not to let the light go out. There was a very large box of paper patterns, used to cut the darkies clothes, in the closet, which my sisters and mother-in-law cut in strips, and one by one was held burning by the old lady's bed. The paper lasted till daybreak. The Yankees destroyed almost everything except what was in their room and a small quantity of provisions. My sister and the two negroes stayed a few days and then went to my parents. They were riding army horses, bareback, the make-shift vehicle having been destroyed by the last group of stragglers. These were horses which Sherman had deserted when he replenished his army with the horses of the planters along the line.
When she reached home she found devastation and sickness everywhere and the whole air was reeking with dead animals. My father died the following October 20th. 1865 after the crop was gathered. My mother sold a farm in Tennessee, which enabled us to live more comfortably.
Before the negro regiment stationed on our place was disbanded, one of the officers found stored in a barn on the river about four miles from the house, a small quantity of corn which the Yankees had not taken away. He had the corn (a cart load of it) brought up to the house and stored in a bath room at the end of the back hall, upstairs. He had no waterworks or big bath tubs, but did have the nice shower bath closets. The back stairs ran up in this hall, and the windows being broken there was no way to keep the hungry starving rats out, and at night they went up the stairs by the hundreds.
We would arm ourselves with sticks and beat among them, some nights getting about a peck, and a hand full of tails, and some nights after, we would get the bob-tailed rats. The corn proved quite a help in the way of food. We would boil it in lye made from oak ashes, until the husk would come off, then soak it in clear water until all the lye was out of it; then we would cook it until soft and fry it in some of the fat white meat we drew from the Government. This varied our diet of hard tack, fat meat, brown sugar and bad coffee.
We did not drink coffee during the war. My father had an order for coffee and sewing thread, on our blockade steamer whenever she went from Wilmington. The coffee was sent to the boys in the army, and the thread was used on the sewing machine to make their clothes. Our coffee was made of dried sweet potatoes, rye wheat and barley, all parched brown and ground together, putting some of it in a little bag, we would drop it in the coffee pot of hot water and let it boil ten minutes.
We made all sorts of things during the war. Drugs were hard to get for the hospitals and all kinds of herbs, barks and roots were dried and sent to the hospitals. Large beds of lettuce were planted and let grow a tall stalk, and early in the morning some one would go out with a needle and slit the stalks in several places; the milk would run out and harden on the stalk, and at sunset some one would go with a little knife and piece of paper and collect the hardened drops. This was used as opium; also rose leaves were dried and sent with drugs.
My mother died December 1867. After her death my brother Col. John P. Cobb and his family lived at the old home until he was elected County Court Clerk and moved with his family to Goldsboro and several years later went to Florida.
After my mother's death, her land was divided among her children and most of it rented out. Later, after my brother moved to Goldsboro, none of us wanted to live there, and so sold our portions of the land, most of it to our white neighbors, and a small portion to some of our former slaves, who paid for it in yearly installments of cotton until paid for. I lived with my brother John at the old home, until I was married to Lieutenant William Penn Lane, son of Rev. William K. Lane and wife Penelope Burford, who lived on their plantation near Goldsboro, their house later being burned by Sherman. My husband left the University of North Carolina and joined the 67th Regiment of North Carolina Calvary. Col. John D. Whitford was colonel of the regiment. He was in service in eastern North Carolina.
In the Battle of Cobb's Hill, April 1865, near Kinston, he was one of seven men left of his Company; the others were killed or wounded. His picture, also my brothers' pictures, are in "Clarks History of North Carolina State Troops of the Confederacy". These pictures were taken and left with their parents, when they marched away to fight for their liberty. This is true history.
An enterprising Yankee came south after the war and patented our home-made War Coffee, and called it Postum, and later on reduced the same to a powder and called it Instant Postum which requires no bag or boiling.
After passing through the horrors of war, we were subjected to the terrible time of the Reconstruction days and bayonet rule of General Denby, of the U.S.A. Government. At the first election after the war closed, the ignorant negroes of the South were given the privilege of voting. There being so many more negroes in the South than white men and they being instigated (by Yankees, who remained in the South) to all kinds of lawlessness, no one's life was safe, and a woman dared not leave her yard without a pistol for protection. This was when the order of the Klu Klux Klan was organized and every decent white man became a member. Oh! The horrors of Reconstruction Days!

Lawless Obama Continues To Ignore And Defy The Constitution

Lawless Obama Continues To Ignore And Defy The Constitution
Posted By: Lymerick [Send E-Mail]

December 1, 2013
(NTEB) For all the gnashing of teeth over the lack of comity and civility in Washington, the real problem is not etiquette but the breakdown of political norms, legislative and constitutional.
Such as the one just spectacularly blown up in the Senate. To get three judges onto a coveted circuit court, frustrated Democrats abolished the filibuster for executive appointments and (non-Supreme Court) judicial nominations.
The problem is not the change itself. It’s fine that a president staffing his administration should need 51 votes rather than 60. Doing so for judicial appointments, which are for life, is a bit dicier. Nonetheless, for about 200 years the filibuster was nearly unknown in blocking judicial nominees. So we are really just returning to an earlier norm.
The violence to political norms here consisted in how that change was executed. By brute force — a near party-line vote of 52 to 48 . This was a disgraceful violation of more than two centuries of precedent. If a bare majority can change the fundamental rules that govern an institution, then there are no rules. Senate rules today are whatever the majority decides they are that morning.
What distinguishes an institution from a flash mob is that its rules endure. They can be changed, of course. But only by significant supermajorities. That’s why constitutional changes require two-thirds of both houses plus three-quarters of the states. If we could make constitutional changes by majority vote, there would be no Constitution.
As of today, the Senate effectively has no rules. Congratulations, Harry Reid. Finally, something you will be remembered for.
Barack Obama may be remembered for something similar. His violation of the proper limits of executive power has become breathtaking. It’s not just making recess appointments when the Senate is in session. It’s not just unilaterally imposing a law Congress had refused to pass — the Dream Act — by brazenly suspending large sectionsof the immigration laws.
We’ve now reached a point where a flailing president, desperate to deflect the opprobrium heaped upon him for the false promise that you could keep your health plan if you wanted to, calls a hasty news conference urging both insurers and the states to reinstate millions of such plans.
Except that he is asking them to break the law. His own law. Under Obamacare, no insurer may issue a policy after 2013 that does not meet the law’s minimum coverage requirements. These plans were canceled because they do not.
The law remains unchanged. The regulations governing that law remain unchanged. Nothing is changed except for a president proposing to unilaterally change his own law from the White House press room.
That’s banana republic stuff, except that there the dictator proclaims from the presidential balcony.
Remember how for months Democrats denounced Republicans for daring to vote to defund or postpone Obamacare? Saboteurs! Terrorists! How dare you alter “the law of the land.”
This was nonsense from the beginning. Every law is subject to revision and abolition if the people think it turned out to be a bad idea. Even constitutional amendments can be repealed — and have been (see Prohibition).
After indignant denunciation of Republicans for trying to amend “the law of the land” constitutionally (i.e. in Congress assembled), Democrats turn utterly silent when the president lawlessly tries to do so by executive fiat.
Nor is this the first time. The president wakes up one day and decides to unilaterally suspend the employer mandate, a naked invasion of Congress’s exclusive legislative prerogative, enshrined in Article I. Not a word from the Democrats. Nor now regarding the blatant usurpation of trying to restore canceled policies that violate explicit Obamacare coverage requirements.
And worse. When Congress tried to make Obama’s “fix” legal — i.e., through legislation — he opposed it. He even said he would veto it. Imagine: vetoing the very bill that would legally enact his own illegal fix.
At rallies, Obama routinely says he has important things to do and he’s not going to wait for Congress. Well, amending a statute after it’s been duly enacted is something a president may not do without Congress. It’s a gross violation of his Article II duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed.
A Senate with no rules. A president without boundaries. One day, when a few bottled-up judicial nominees and a malfunctioning health-care Web site are barely a memory, we will still be dealing with the toxic residue of this outbreak of authoritative lawlessness.

Wealth Is Not About The Money

Wealth Is Not About The Money  By Bob Proctor

Wealth  It’s Not About the Money  By Bob Proctor


One of the key concepts to creating wealth is to understand that money is not the goal. That’s right, I said, money is not the goal.

Frequently people will tell me that they want to make money. However, I know it is not money they are really after. It is the things that money can buy and the freedom of time to do what they really want.

While you may think this is an insignificant difference, it is actually the reason so many people never become wealthy.
...
Read More Link On Right

 Most of us were taught throughout our childhood that the whole point of making money is to sock it away and build our own ‘nest egg’. We think of this as a type of insurance against bad fortune, accidents or old age when we can no longer work.

The wealthy know that money only works when it is in motion – not when it’s sitting in a bank account.

You must understand that wealth is an ongoing journey of growth and circulation and if that circulation is stopped, then the flow of money will cease.

While it may seem that there are many roadblocks on your journey to wealth, the only real obstacle is what you believe, think, and feel about money.

Most of us were raised with the cliché “Seeing is Believing” which is a skeptical and negative view of life.

 Still, we hear it our whole lives until it becomes a part of our thought process without our even realizing it. Wealthy people understand that this cliché is exactly backward – you must believe in what you can achieve before you will see it happen in your life.

They know that “Believing is Seeing.”

The only thing that separates a millionaire from you right now is a wealthy mindset, and the foundation of that mindset is belief.

Does this mean that the wealthy have some special skill or knowledge? No. But they do possess some key characteristics that help them become wealthy.

The first of these characteristics is a willingness to listen to their own hearts. If you could become wealthy by listening to the masses, then the masses would be wealthy, and they are not.

It is a natural tendency to ask the opinions of those we love or respect.

Unfortunately, we listen to their comments and biases, not taking into account the results in their own lives. We make a decision to listen based on our emotional attachment rather than by looking at what they have achieved. How can anyone who has not accumulated wealth advise you on how to do it? They can’t.

A second characteristic of the wealthy is the ability to act when opportunities present themselves.

Opportunity is often imagined to be something that you can’t miss or pass up.

However, I know from personal experience that opportunity is often only a whisper that comes during some of the most trying times of life.

If you read the life stories of very wealthy and successful people, you will frequently find they were fired from jobs, kicked out of school or dealt with significant personal tragedies that other people would view as devastating. Instead, they viewed the challenges as opportunities and prospered.

The wealthy also understand that wealth is an ongoing process. It is not a destination at which you simply arrive one day. It is also rarely accomplished overnight – although it can occur in a short period of time.

However, if you gain wealth before you have gained a wealthy mindset, then you are in danger of losing that wealth forever. We have all heard of those who win the lottery only to be near penniless a few years later. Since they were never taught to think wealthy, they have very little chance of achieving wealth that lasts and ultimately they lose what money they have.

Those with a wealthy mindset do what they love – and make money at it.

Often I see individuals who are seeking wealth like it’s something outside for which they have to search. In reality, wealth exists within you. You have activities and hobbies that you love and you can make these into your business if you choose.

Those who are successful and create a great deal of wealth do so because they are doing something they love. The money follows and is just a logical result of them realizing their dream. Money is not the dream.

Whether you grow up in the worst circumstance or have every advantage, you have the exact same potential inside of you to create the life you want. No matter how many times you read or hear someone talk about how to become wealthy, your life will never change until you believe that it can. Believing is Seeing.
