Do the Work: A Call to Action



Today, a dedicated group of United States citizens and residents are actively working to sabotage our country and our Constitution. To defeat this movement and preserve our Republic, we must first acknowledge the depth and breadth of these treasonous activities.


With over 8 million Patriots already demonstrating their concern in the streets, we have the numbers to make a difference. The request is simple: Choose a task and do it. There is more than enough work to go around. Our mission is to oppose these factions at every possible opportunity.


1. Run for Office


We must contest every elective office in the country. This includes:


Federal: President, Senators, and Representatives.


State: Legislators and state-level boards.


Local: City, county, and special district seats.


2. Vote and Protect the Polls


Register and Vote: Participate in every election for every office and ballot proposition.


Secure Voting Places: Work with local law enforcement to ensure safety. Report any instances of voter intimidation, harassment, or tampering immediately.


3. Immigration Defense


Educate yourself on immigration law. Learn how to legally stand up to ICE and other immigration enforcement agencies to ensure they do not operate unopposed or outside the bounds of the law.


4. Confront Sexual Predators


Identify and expose sexual predators, including those linked to high-profile cases like the Epstein records. Lobby law enforcement to arrest and charge these individuals.


A Grave Warning: Be aware of the risks involved. These individuals have proven they will go to the most extreme lengths to protect themselves. Prepare your family and your affairs—just as the Freedom Riders did in the 1960s—before engaging in this high-stakes work.


5. Boycott on May 1, 2026 - Show your power for one day: Refuse to do your work on May 1 - do not work, teach, attend classes, buy any product or participate in any activity which contributes to the national economy. 


Choose Your Task


These actions are only the beginning. Choose a task from this list or follow your own convictions to help preserve the Constitution.


Then, DO THE WORK.


Your efforts will likely be silent and unrecognized. There are no personal rewards. Your reward is the preservation of the Republic. That is the goal.

The Truth About the C. I. A.

[BTW: CENSORHIP IS REAL NOW]: 

Apologies to the author, I copied the text from a FB post but the author information had disappeared when I tried to get his name...I did not verify his assertions but present them here as I saw them. 


'The CIA wasn’t built by military intelligence professionals. It was built by Wall Street lawyers and bankers whose firms trace directly to the Rothschild network. 

Every connection below is documented.

1875: The Rothschilds, acting through their New York banking partner Jacob Schiff at Kuhn, Loeb & Co., begin financing John D. Rockefeller’s Standard Oil, Edward Harriman’s railroad empire, and Andrew Carnegie’s steel empire. Kuhn Loeb becomes the Rothschilds’ primary American representative. Schiff is later described in Congressional testimony as “the financial minister to the great impersonal power known as Standard Oil.”

1885: Paul Warburg marries Nina Loeb, daughter of Kuhn Loeb’s founding partner. His brother Felix Warburg marries Frieda Schiff, the only daughter of Jacob Schiff — Kuhn Loeb’s senior partner and the Rothschilds’ point man in America. Both Warburg brothers join as partners at Kuhn Loeb. Before coming to New York, both trained at N.M. Rothschild & Son in London. The two families — Warburg and Schiff — now control the Rothschilds’ American bank through marriage.

1911: The Dulles brothers — Allen and John Foster — are working at Sullivan & Cromwell, the most powerful corporate law firm on Wall Street. Sullivan & Cromwell’s most important client is Rockefeller’s Standard Oil — the company Kuhn Loeb financed with Rothschild money. John Foster Dulles’s wife is Janet Pomeroy Avery — a first cousin of John D. Rockefeller Jr. The CIA’s future architect is married into the family that the Rothschilds’ bank built.

1920s-1930s: Sullivan & Cromwell represents IG Farben — the chemical conglomerate that will later supply Zyklon B to Nazi death camps — and Vereinigte Stahlwerke (United Steelworks). Allen Dulles becomes a director of J. Henry Schroder Bank, which sits directly on the connection line between N.M. Rothschild London and the New York banking network. He also becomes a director of the Council on Foreign Relations in 1927. The future CIA director is simultaneously embedded in Rothschild-connected banking and the policy organization that will shape American foreign affairs for the next century.

1927: Eric Warburg — son of Max Warburg of the Hamburg banking dynasty — does business with Sullivan & Cromwell. He has previously apprenticed at N.M. Rothschild & Son in London. The Dulles brothers and the Warburgs now operate in the same transatlantic financial network, connected through the same law firm, the same banks, and the same family marriages.

1933: Allen Dulles meets Adolf Hitler in Berlin on State Department duty. He writes to his brother John Foster reassuring him that conditions under Hitler’s regime “are not quite as bad” as feared. Sullivan & Cromwell continues representing German corporations well into the Nazi period. The firm is profiting from both sides of what will become the deadliest war in human history.

1942: Allen Dulles joins the Office of Strategic Services as station chief in Bern, Switzerland. He uses his position to protect Sullivan & Cromwell clients on both sides of the war, smuggling their money through Swiss, Austrian, and Italian banks. He recruits the psychologist Carl Jung into the OSS. His mistress, Mary Bancroft, is simultaneously an OSS spy and a patient of Jung’s.

1945: Dulles offers SS General Karl Wolff protection from prosecution at Nuremberg in exchange for cooperation. Operation Paperclip begins importing 1,600 Nazi scientists — including men who used concentration camp slave labor and experimented on prisoners — into American weapons programs. The moral framework is established early: the CIA will protect war criminals when it serves strategic interests.

1946: General Vandenberg recruits Allen Dulles — now back at Sullivan & Cromwell — to draft proposals for a permanent intelligence agency. Dulles forms an advisory group of six men. All but one are Wall Street investment bankers or lawyers. They include Kingman Douglas and Paul Nitze from Dillon, Read & Co. — a firm whose founder socialized directly with John M. Schiff, senior partner of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. Meanwhile, Dulles and Donovan create the World Commerce Corporation — a private intelligence front — with British intelligence chief William Stephenson and Nelson Rockefeller. A private spy network funded by the banking elite, operating before the CIA even exists.

1947: The National Security Act creates the CIA. Dulles has been closely involved in its design from the beginning. All seven known deputy directors of the early CIA come from the same New York legal and financial circles. Six are listed in the New York Social Register. The CIA is a Wall Street creation wearing a government badge.

1950: Lewis L. Strauss — a partner at Kuhn, Loeb & Co. for two decades — becomes financial adviser to the Rockefeller family. He later heads the Atomic Energy Commission, controlling America’s nuclear policy. A Kuhn Loeb partner overseeing American nuclear weapons. Kuhn Loeb is the Rothschilds’ American bank. The same network that built the CIA now controls the bomb.

1953: Allen Dulles becomes the first civilian Director of Central Intelligence. His brother John Foster Dulles is simultaneously Secretary of State — having served 15 years on the Rockefeller Foundation board and as its chairman. The National Security Council includes both Dulles brothers alongside Lewis Strauss of Kuhn Loeb. Two brothers from one law firm and a Rothschild-network banker running American foreign policy, intelligence, and nuclear weapons simultaneously.

1953: The CIA’s first major operation — overthrowing Iran’s democratic government in Operation Ajax. MI6 murdered Iran’s chief of police and dumped his body publicly as a warning. CIA-paid agents bribed politicians, clerics, military officers, and journalists. After the coup, Sullivan & Cromwell — Dulles’s own law firm — negotiated the redivision of Iran’s oil. BP retained 40%. American oil companies got significant shares. The CIA director’s law firm collected fees on the oil deal his agency made possible.

1953: The CIA creates MKUltra under Dulles’s direction. Sidney Gottlieb oversees 149 sub-projects across 80 institutions. The CIA operates brothels in San Francisco and New York where agents dose unwitting men with LSD and watch through one-way mirrors. At McGill University, Dr. Donald Ewen Cameron drugs patients into weeks-long comas, plays recorded messages on loop, and administers massive electroshock — many suffer permanent brain damage. The CIA pays $375,000 to build a wing at Georgetown University Hospital in exchange for access to “human patients and volunteers for experimental use.”

1954: The CIA overthrows Guatemala’s democratic government in Operation PBSuccess. The coup protects United Fruit Company’s land holdings. Sullivan & Cromwell had represented United Fruit. The CIA director’s law firm’s client gets to keep its land because the CIA director overthrew the government that threatened it. Guatemala descends into a 36-year civil war. 200,000 people die. The UN later determines the military committed genocide against the Mayan indigenous population.

1960: The CIA allocates $100,000 to assassinate Patrice Lumumba, the Congo’s first democratically elected Prime Minister. A CIA officer is dispatched with poison. Lumumba is tortured and killed. Mobutu takes power, ruling as a brutal dictator for 32 years while Western mining companies extract the Congo’s cobalt, copper, and uranium.

1961: The Bay of Pigs invasion fails. Kennedy fires Dulles. Kennedy reportedly says he wants to “splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds.” Two years later, Kennedy is assassinated. Dulles is appointed to the Warren Commission investigating the killing — the man Kennedy fired now investigating the death of the man who fired him. Despite knowing about multiple CIA assassination plots against Castro that could implicate Cuban retaliation, Dulles never mentions them during the investigation.

1962: The Joint Chiefs of Staff approve Operation Northwoods — a plan to stage terrorist attacks on American soil, bomb American cities, and sink refugee boats, all to be blamed on Cuba to justify invasion. Kennedy rejects it. The document is declassified in 1997.

1964-1973: The CIA runs a secret war in Laos without Congressional knowledge. Air America — a CIA front airline — flies weapons in and, according to multiple investigations, opium out. Laos becomes the most heavily bombed country per capita in history. 270 million cluster bombs are dropped. 80 million remain unexploded today, still killing farmers and children.

1965: The CIA provides the Indonesian military with kill lists of suspected communists. The U.S. Embassy in Jakarta checks off names as people are executed. Between 500,000 and 1 million people are killed in the purge.

1973: CIA Director Richard Helms orders the destruction of all MKUltra files. Sidney Gottlieb personally oversees the shredding. The program is only discovered because a small cache of financial records survives in a different filing system.

1973: The CIA helps overthrow Chile’s democratically elected President Salvador Allende. Pinochet takes power. 3,000 people are killed. 30,000 are tortured. 200,000 go into exile. Operation Condor — a CIA-supported coordination of six South American dictatorships — kills an estimated 60,000-80,000 people across the continent.

1980s: The CIA funds Afghan mujahideen through Pakistan’s ISI in the largest covert operation in Agency history — $630 million per year by 1987. Resources flow to the most radical Islamist factions. The program creates the networks that later produce the Taliban and al-Qaeda.

1980s: The CIA arms Contra rebels in Nicaragua. When Congress bans funding, the Reagan administration secretly sells weapons to Iran and funnels proceeds to the Contras. CIA-backed Contras traffic cocaine into American cities. Journalist Gary Webb documents the connection to the crack epidemic devastating Black communities. Webb is professionally destroyed by the same media outlets with documented Mockingbird-era CIA relationships. He later dies of two gunshot wounds to the head, ruled a suicide.

2001: Despite tracking two future hijackers to a meeting in Malaysia in January 2000, the CIA fails to notify the FBI or add them to watchlists. The August 6, 2001 Presidential Daily Brief is titled “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in US.” September 11 happens. The CIA’s Afghan blowback comes home.

2002-2009: The CIA operates black site prisons across multiple countries. Abu Zubaydah is waterboarded 83 times. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is waterboarded 183 times. Detainees are subjected to sleep deprivation for up to 180 hours, confined in coffin-sized boxes, slammed into walls, and subjected to rectal feeding. The 2014 Senate Torture Report concludes the program produced no unique intelligence and the CIA systematically lied about its effectiveness. The only person imprisoned is John Kiriakou — the whistleblower who exposed it. The torturers are never charged.

2003: CIA Director George Tenet tells President Bush the case for Iraqi WMDs is a “slam dunk.” The intelligence is fabricated. The key source, “Curveball,” later admits he made it all up. The Iraq War kills over 4,400 Americans and an estimated 200,000+ Iraqi civilians. Cost: over $2 trillion.

The chain:

N.M. Rothschild (London) trained the Warburgs. The Warburgs married into Kuhn Loeb (New York). Kuhn Loeb financed Rockefeller. Rockefeller’s law firm was Sullivan & Cromwell. Sullivan & Cromwell’s partners were the Dulles brothers. The Dulles brothers built the CIA. Allen Dulles sat on the board of J. Henry Schroder Bank — directly connected to Rothschild on every banking chart. The advisory group that designed the CIA included partners from Dillon Read — who socialized and did business with the Schiffs of Kuhn Loeb. The head of the Atomic Energy Commission was a Kuhn Loeb partner. They all sat together on the National Security Council.

Rothschild to Warburg to Kuhn Loeb to Rockefeller to Sullivan & Cromwell to CIA.

That’s not six degrees of separation. That’s a direct pipeline. And once it was built, the CIA overthrew democracies, protected Nazi war criminals, dosed civilians with LSD, operated brothels for blackmail research, provided kill lists for mass murder, trafficked drugs into American cities, armed the networks that became al-Qaeda, tortured prisoners in secret prisons, fabricated evidence for a war that killed hundreds of thousands, and prosecuted the one man who told the truth about it.

Every name above is real. Every date is documented. Every connection is in the public record. The question was never whether a shadow government exists. The question is whose interests it was built to serve — and the banking records answer that question.

Measuring Humanity: We kept our head down and did the work


It seems that my generation is dying out. We have a reputation as those who were focused on daily living, but we were more than that.


I am part of the Silent Generation in the United States of America and proud to be so.


'The Silent Generation refers to the demographic cohort born between 1928 and 1945. Positioned between the "Greatest Generation" and the "Baby Boomers," they are often characterized by their upbringing during the Great Depression and World War II...While the "Silent" label suggests a generation that kept its head down, their actual contributions to the mid-20th century were transformative. They didn't just witness history; they provided the intellectual and artistic backbone for the most significant shifts in modern society.' from Gemini AI


Most of us fought on two fronts: victory over Fascism and Communist/Socialism abroad and racism at home.


Both were actively trying to kill us, 24/7. We were their enemy.


Fascism offered stability, but delivered chaos and death. Socialism offered consideration for the well being of individual people more that did Free Market Capitalism which did not. But Socialism failed to provide the benefits it promised and collapsed in about 1990. Now we recognize that Capitalism and Free Market economies are better for most people, even though there are real problems in Capitalist free market societies: inequality, corruption and resulting policies favoring the ultra rich and wage market failure to provide decent livings for many.


Racism turned into Jim Crow tactics including lynching and church bombings, but we fought them as hard as we could. Some of us died. We were able to expand voting rights and we felt good about that. 


We kept our head down and did methodical work to create better lives for most. The stakes were very high. And, the efforts took whatever we had to offer and then asked for more. At least our kids had safety at home even though we had to live through the duck and cover drills in case of the Bomb. 


My focus has been on the economics of Communism and Socialism before and during the Cold War. The promise of Socialism enticed the populations of many countries to try that model as offered by the Soviet Union instead of the Free Market Capitalism model the United States offered. Both sides were aggressive in offering their model; that aggression killed many people on both sides. Finally the Socialist model in Russia collapsed in the late 1980's; that collapse left no doubt about the superiority of the Free Market model for most of the world's population. However, in Russia, governance turned away from offering Socialism as good for all the people and turned instead into a kleptocratic dictatorship. 


The United States of America has morphed into a nascent kleptocratic dictatorship similar to Russia under Putin. I hope we can end that and then restore our Democratic Republic.


Today in 2026 and in order to install the popular appeal of Socialism into a Free Market Capitalistic system, I have suggested installing an empathetic economic system to make most people's lives better. That system has detailed policy and practice proscriptions centered on the concept of creating the most jobs in a country as a means toward the end of creating better lives for people. 


My detailed suggestions are presented in my book EMPATHY IN ECONOMICS: THEORY, PRACTICE AND POLICY, Mike P. McKeever author, 2026, Amazon Kindle books.

The 'Silent' Generation Was Too Loud


According to Gemini, we produced some of the most influential figures in modern history, particularly within the Civil Rights Movement and the arts.


The Silent Generation refers to the demographic cohort born between 1928 and 1945. Positioned between the "Greatest Generation" and the "Baby Boomers," they are often characterized by their upbringing during the Great Depression and World War II.


Size: It is one of the smallest generations of the 20th century, largely due to the economic hardships of the 1930s and the uncertainty of the war years, which led to lower birth rates.


The "Silent" Moniker: The term was popularized by a 1951 Time magazine article. It suggests a generation that focused on working hard, playing by the rules, and keeping their heads down rather than leading mass protests or seeking the spotlight.


Economic Context: Many entered the workforce during the post-WWII economic boom, benefiting from the rise of the middle class, the GI Bill, and the expansion of the suburbs.


Notable Contributions


Despite their "silent" reputation, this generation produced some of the most influential figures in modern history, particularly within the Civil Rights Movement and the arts:


Civil Rights Leaders: Figures like Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, and Gloria Steinem were all part of this cohort.


Cultural Icons: They shaped the mid-century cultural landscape, including Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, and most of the original Beatles.


Political Impact: While they are the only generation in modern U.S. history not to have produced a President until much later (Joe Biden is a member of the Silent Generation), they have held significant institutional power for decades.


Contributions to social change, cold war, civil rights, popular music, protests, literature, jazz, pop music,


While the "Silent" label suggests a generation that kept its head down, their actual contributions to the mid-20th century were transformative. They didn't just witness history; they provided the intellectual and artistic backbone for the most significant shifts in modern society.


1. Civil Rights and Social Change


Members of the Silent Generation were the primary architects and foot soldiers of the Civil Rights Movement. Growing up during the Jim Crow era and WWII, they applied the "double victory" (victory over fascism abroad and racism at home) to the U.S. legal and social landscape.


Leadership: Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, Rosa Parks, and John Lewis were all "Silents."


The Strategy: They utilized highly organized, disciplined non-violence and legal challenges to dismantle segregation.


Feminism: The "Second Wave" of feminism was led by women of this era, such as Gloria Steinem and Betty Friedan, who questioned the domestic constraints of the 1950s.


2. The Cold War and Geopolitics


This cohort came of age as the Iron Curtain fell across Europe. They were the young soldiers in the Korean War and the early advisors and officers in the Vietnam War.


Technological Race: They were the engineers and astronauts behind the Space Race. Figures like Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin (both born in 1930) represented the peak of this generation's technical discipline and bravery.


Political Stability: They were known for valuing institutional stability, often working within the system to manage the nuclear tensions of the era.


3. Literature and The "Beat" Movement


The Silent Generation produced a literary rebellion against the perceived blandness of post-war life.


The Beat Generation: Writers like Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg provided the "cool" counterpoint to the era's conformity, exploring Eastern philosophy and spontaneous prose.


The New Journalism: Authors like Joan Didion and Truman Capote revolutionized non-fiction, bringing a deeply personal and stylistic lens to reporting.


4. Music: From Jazz to the Birth of Rock


The transition from big-band swing to the raw energy of rock and roll was navigated entirely by the Silent Generation.


The Evolution of Jazz: The move from dance-hall swing to the complex, intellectual sounds of Bebop and Cool Jazz was led by innovators like Miles Davis and John Coltrane.


Pop and Rock Pioneers: While Boomers were the primary consumers of 1960s rock, the creators were almost all Silents. Elvis Presley, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, and all four of The Beatles belonged to this cohort.


Folk and Protest: Bob Dylan and Joan Baez used music as a vehicle for social commentary, bridging the gap between traditional folk and the burgeoning protest culture.
