Prologue ...

Many of the issues I intend to address in this Blog would make great material for those who love conspiracy theories.
 
In fact in the first item, dealing with Banks, Governments, Regulators and Courts of Law, I cannot totally rule out that there was a conspiracy - a big one. As I present the evidence, see what you think.

I like mystery thrillers, whether in books, on TV or in films. One of my favourites is "A Few Good Men". It involves the death of a US Marine, and much of the drama in the film takes place in a Military Court, as the truth is sought - and eventually found.

Part of the dialogue in the Court:

Judge Randolph: Consider yourself in Contempt!


Kaffee: Colonel Jessep, did you order the Code Red?


Judge Randolph: You don't have to answer that question!


Col. Jessep: I'll answer the question!


[to Kaffee]


Col. Jessep: You want answers?


Kaffee: I think I'm entitled.


Col. Jessep: You want answers?


Kaffee: I want the truth!


Col. Jessep: You can't handle the truth!


[pauses]


Col. Jessep: Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Whose gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.


Kaffee: Did you order the Code Red?


Col. Jessep: I did the job I...


Kaffee: Did you order the Code Red?


Col. Jessep: You're Goddamned right I did!



Sometimes, it takes a lot of effort to seek and then find the truth - and that is what, in part, this Blog will attempt to do - by providing evidence that might lead us there, in much the same manner as it appears in many similar Court Room dramas.

But, this will be factual evidence, not fictional, and as the above dialogue clearly demonstrates, there are times when there are those who set out to hide the truth and there are also those who can't handle the truth.

Day 1 of Trial One will be posted shortly. I hope you will return to hear the evidence and form your verdict.
