The Shadow Government
by
Josh Albrechtsen
Whether you believe it or not, it’s out there. The Shadow Government. The people
who will step in should anything happen to our current government. Back when it
was formed, the supposed cause was a nuclear strike made by the Russians during
the Cold War. Nowadays, who knows? Just know that they will be there if our Head
of State gets…..decapitated.
The shadow government is made up of a number of unknown “mystery men”. These men
include prominent politicians, such as representatives and senators, extremely
rich bankers, and other powerful people. It is controlled by a “secret”
organization called the “Illuminati”, Greek for “enlightened”. The Illuminati is
the elite order of the Freemasons, the most famous of all secret societies, a
dubious honour.
The ideas, theories, and assumptions about the shadow government and the
Illuminati are as numerous as grains of sand upon a beach. Some of these are
true, but most are mindless drivel. Secret organizations will always have an
aura of mysteriousness, and man fears the unknown. He will invent things,
especially things that are simply not true. People will talk about brainwashing,
mind control, and super-human genetically enhanced races. The childish
conspiracy theories have very little, if any, basis in reality. However, what
they actually do, in practice, is much more realistic, making it all the more
terrifying.
First off, the shadow government is always watching. Everywhere we go,
everything we do, they know. These people have numerous unregistered spy
satellites floating about, and those satellites are watching. This satellite
surveillance program is code-named “Big Brother,” hence the phrase “Big Brother
is watching.” They also do numerous other things. These include, but are not
limited to: 1) eavesdropping by the use of miniature microphones, 2) tapping the
telephone line, 3) communication interception, such as cell phone or radio, 4)
miniature cameras, 5) CCTV, which is like security cameras, 6) GPS tracking,
which can pinpoint you anywhere on the globe, 7) military reconnaissance, 8) spy
aircraft, 9) internet tracking, and lastly, 10) computer surveillance. Big
Brother knows you better than you know yourself.
We all know about them. We’ve all seen them. The black helicopters lurking in
the shadows and darting around in the dark of night. The official explanation
for them is as follows: “The U.S. Army regularly conducts both exercises and
operational missions in United States’ airspace. Some of the exercises have
taken place in heavily urbanized areas, including Los Angeles, Detroit, San
Francisco, Oakland, and Washington D.C. Most operational missions are tasked to
narcotic interdiction in the American Southwest and out of Florida. By extensive
use of GPS and night vision equipment, as well as other classified means, they
are able to fly in zero visibility conditions with no running lights. At this
high intensity level of operation, training is almost as dangerous as actual
combat. Frequent practice is necessary to retain proficiency.” Do you really
believe any of that?
While there is no concrete proof of the shadow government, it has been
acknowledged by some of the highest people in our government. Senator Daniel K.
Inouye said at the Iran Contra Hearings “there exists a shadowy government with
it’s own Army, it’s own Navy, it’s own fundraising mechanism, and the ability to
pursue its own ideas of national interest, free from all checks and balances,
and free from the law itself.” Does that sound like a good thing to you?
The shadow government pervades every aspect of our lives, from reading the
newspaper (media bias/control), to our daily commute (spy satellites), to how
often we call our mothers (phone tap, something that has been in the news a lot
lately).
The shadow government itself consists of five branches, as opposed to our
current three-branch government. The first branch, like our own, is the
Executive Branch. Obviously, these people run the whole deal. It consists of
influential politicians. The second branch, the Intelligence Branch, covers all
the covert operations. It is made up of several national security agencies, such
as the NSA (Nation Security Agency), the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency), and
others we don’t know much about. The third branch is the War Department. They
design weapons and the like. It includes the SDIO (Strategic Defense Initiative
Office, which is involved in pre-emptive strikes), U.S. Space Command, and
private organizations, such as the Jason Group, a politically immune
manufacturer of classified weapons. The fourth branch is the Weapons Industry
Branch. These people produce and test the plans from the War Department. This
group consists of mostly private weapons developers and the like, such as
Lockheed Martin, Lear, Hercules, and others. The fifth and final branch is
called the Financial Branch. It is mostly the Federal Reserve System, but
includes self-financing institutions such as the CIA, Department of Justice, and
Special Forces.
The shadow government is in control of our lives. They control the banks, the
media, and anything else you care to name. They know everything about us. Pray
that nothing happens to our current leader, or this organization will assume
public control. Can you say…..dictatorship?
