During the first nine years of the new millennium we have been
witness to a rapid erosion of freedom. Our basic liberties have been
systematically denigrated and diluted by a vast expansion of
coordinated global tyranny.

The decade is not over yet, there is still another year to go,
however, given that the mainstream media is obsessively compiling
it’s own decade lists, we felt it necessary to draw up our own to
highlight the major events that have shaped the world we now live in
and the future we face.

It is important to stress the fact that while we have indeed
experienced a decade of tyranny, we have also seen a mass awakening, an
expansion of knowledge and an exponential increase in opposition to the
agenda we have come to know as the new world order.

Here in chronological order, follow’s Prisonplanet.com’s defining moments of the decade.

2001 – 9/11

9/11 was the precursor for everything that followed during the
decade of tyranny. The immediate invasion of Afghanistan saw the U.S.
go to war without a formal declaration.

 

The passage of the USA PATRIOT Act overnight, with members of
Congress not even being afforded time to read it, paved the way for a
decade of freedom stripping government legislation.

The expansion of the phony war on terror as justification for big
government, a domestic police state and an interventionist foreign
policy also stemmed directly from 9/11.

Over the past decade we have ceaselessly exposed the lies behind
9/11. We have seen the 9/11 truth movement blossom from the efforts of
a select few individuals to encompass the work of thousands.

While there is no doubt 9/11 is the decade of tyranny’s
defining moment, exposing the truth behind it has also led to to an
equally influential awakening that is still ongoing.

2002 – Creation Of The Department of Homeland Security

The fallout of 9/11 led to a re-alignment of power in the U.S., with
the shadow government stepping out into the open and implementing
elements of a long term agenda to subvert Constitutional freedom.

After the passage of the PATRIOT Act in late 2001, the next major
step toward tyranny came with the expansion of the federal government
through the creation of the DHS.

The DHS has played the role of the domestic police state enforcer
agency, encompassing every major law enforcement agency in the nation
under one single office.

With multiple subsequent reports and video productions fingering the
American people as potential terrorists, the Orwellian titled agency
has proven it has nothing to do with security and everything to do with
limiting the freedoms of people all over the country.

2003 – Invasion Of Iraq

The March 2003 invasion of Iraq was a war based on a mountain of
lies and deceit, and yet at the time the public swallowed the
propaganda with wanton bloodlust. The constant invocation of a link
between 9/11 and Saddam Hussein was repeatedly debunked both before and
after the invasion, but the course for war was set.

The invasion was an illegal attack based on a wholly contrived
pretext and the war was not approved by Congress. This set the
precedent for unconstitutional global pre-emptive strikes in the name
of the war on terror. Conservative estimates
put the death told as a result of the invasion at around 655,000, but
this number is far higher when the previous years sanctions are taken
into account. Upon U.S. occupation of the country, Iraq was turned into
one giant gulag, with hundreds of thousands detained and held in
internment camps for the most menial offenses.

The occupation of Iraq provided the opportunity to build hundreds of
military bases to be used as launch pads for future pre-emptive wars in
the key geopolitical region of the Middle East.

2004 – The Abu Ghraib prison abuse scandal

The Abu Ghraib torture scandal was shocking for two primary reasons.
The first being the treatment of the prisoners themselves, the vast
majority of whom were innocents caught up in random sweeps who had
nothing to do with insurgents or terrorism whatsoever. However, the
photographs that were broadcast around the world only scratched the
surface of the the true horror of what happened not just at Abu Ghraib,
but what happened and continues to occur at dozens of U.S. torture
camps around the world where suspects are illegally kidnapped and
imprisoned on a whim via a process euphemistically labeled
“rendition”.

The second most disturbing aspect to the story was how the media
covered it and how the public’s reaction was carefully
manipulated. By only showing the most mild examples of torture, which
in reality were disgusting but to a public immersed in violent movies
and television were seen as tame, the true depth of the scandal, as revealed in the Taguba military report,
was disguised. Abu Ghraib was also about inoculating the public against
the idea that torture was something only history’s despotic
regimes engaged in. To many who have been completely brainwashed by
this tyranny – torture is now as American as Mom and apple pie.

Low-level culprits in the scandal were burned while their superiors
who ordered them to torture in complete violation of both the U.S.
constitution and the Geneva Conventions were protected by the Bush
administration and continue to be protected by Obama who has failed to
fulfil his election promise that they would be prosecuted and that
similar detention sites like Guantanamo Bay would be closed.

2005 – Hurricane Katrina Fallout

The disaster in New Orleans provided the federal government with the perfect opportunity to wargame a martial law takeover.

Emergency preparedness legislation and FEMA executive orders that
have been in effect for decades, were suddenly put into use at the
expense of basic freedoms.

The Posse Comitatus Act was overturned as active duty military
paraded the streets and aided police in confiscating firearms and
implementing mandatory evacuation orders.

The precedent has now been set for natural disasters to constitute
broad sweeping changes to ancient laws and rights, overturning and
replacing basic liberties with repressive mechanisms of government
control.

2006 – Liquid Bombing Scam

The biggest story of 2006 was undoubtedly the staged liquid bomb
plot, which led to tighter restrictions on carrying fluids aboard
airliners and heralded a new wave of invasive technologies to be
implemented in airports and eventually introduced on a day-to-day basis.

Despite the fact that the alleged terrorists involved in the plot to
explode multiple airliners were closely tracked for months beforehand,
added to the fact that they didn’t have flight tickets or even
passports, it was announced on August 10th that authorities had busted
the plot amidst a wave of propaganda about continuing the war on
terror, similar to what we are hearing in the aftermath of the
Christmas Day bombing attempt.

According to news reports the British government and MI5 wanted to wait at least a week before busting the liquid terror cell
that their agents had fully infiltrated, including planting a mole
within the bomb squad. From the acknowledged timeline and admission
that the real attack was scheduled for August 16th – little else
can be deduced but the shocking fact that MI5 wanted the bombings to go
forward – arresting the perpetrators only after the attack.

A deluge of fearmongering and paranoia ensued, with ridiculous
measures hastily enforced in airports which remain with us to this day,
such as mothers being forced to drink their own bottled breast milk to
prove it is not an explosive liquid.

2007 – Ron Paul Revolution, The Rise Of The Resistance

After years of endless war, economic decline and suppression of
basic freedoms, 2007 saw a mobilization of resistance amid a clamor for
change.

With a presidential election looming, Congressman Ron Paul, a public
representative with an immaculate record, emerged as an icon of
counteraction against the growth of big government and the erosion of
liberty.

Beginning as an underground phenomenon driven by grassroots
activists, the Ron Paul Revolution soon became a mainstream talking
point and the Congressman was propelled to the forefront of the debate
over America’s future.

Of course, big money and the monopoly of power eventually won out,
so the 2008 election saw a new new world order puppet installed in the
shape of Barack Obama.

However, Ron Paul’s incredible efforts throughout 2007 and
2008 during his presidential campaign provided a platform for the
restoration of liberty and proved that the electoral process has not
been completely usurped by those who have shown they have no allegiance
to we the people.

2008 – The Bailout Heist

In October 2008, the central banks that own the U.S. government set
the course for the most egregious looting of the American public in
history with the passage of the TARP “bailout” legislation.

The bailout merely increased the severity of the financial downturn
and allowed the same elite to exploit the crisis as a pretext for
centralizing control of the world economic system and creating a new
world order and a single global currency.

Henry Paulson, one of the chief architects of the bailout and the man who committed financial terrorism by threatening the Congress with martial law and food riots if they didn’t pass the initial TARP package, brazenly pocketed $200 million in Goldman Sachs profits tax free while
handing out billions in ill-gotten gains to his bankster buddies, all
this after he pulled a bait and switch by changing the entire focus of
the bailout from buying up toxic debt to giving money directly to
financial institutions.

Following the election of Barack Obama in November 2008, the new
President’s actions made it abundantly clear that he would pick
up where the Bush administration left off, increasing the looting
exponentially to a figure well over $24 trillion by the latest estimates, which don’t even account for the last 6 months.

2009 – Acceleration of World Government

2009 represents the year that the agenda for a world government was
both openly announced and the acceleration of its implementation
reached breakneck speed as globalists exploited both the engineered
financial crisis and the contrived global warming scam to move to
finalize total dictatorial control over the planet.

In an October New York Times editorial entitled “We Can Do It,”
Ki-moon wrote that efforts to impose restrictions on CO2 emissions
“Must include an equitable global governance structure.”

New EU President Herman Van Rompuy said in a December press conference that the Copenhagen conference was, “The first step towards the global management of our planet.”

Similarly, Al Gore said in a speech earlier this year that attempts to regulate CO2 emissions would be driven through “global governance and global agreements.”

Although it failed to ram through a large portion of the global government agenda, the Copenhagen agreement laid the foundation for the introduction of a global transaction tax
which would be paid to the World Bank, representing a massive transfer
of wealth to the new world government now being primed for total
takeover.

Ten years ago, people who warned about a coming new world order
bossed by a global government were called paranoid conspiracy
theorists. Is the march towards a one world government still a
conspiracy theory, even as its architects openly announce its
implementation?

The Decade of Freedom?

The battle between tyranny and freedom is a long term game of
brinkmanship, however, as we move into 2010, we are reaching a crucial
time in modern history. Humanity must decide whether to engage in a
battle for freedom or accept a future under the rule of tyranny.
