John Whitehead discusses the Deep State (the 7th Floor Group) and how the future of America and the world will become everything the great science fiction writers have prophesied. The collapse of the United States is akin to the collapse of the Roman Empire where we could very well see people being taken away and put to death. The coming of Singularity in 2029 and takeover of AI is very likely. We are very similar to Nazi Germany, the police state is expanding, and people need to get up and get active in their governments. We only have a small window of time left.

TRANSCRIPT
Geopolitics & Empire:
Geopolitics & Empire is joined by John Whitehead, an attorney and author widely recognized as one of the nation's most vocal and involved civil liberties attorneys. He's won numerous accolades and accomplishments, and in 1982 he founded the Rutherford Institute, which has become one of the leading advocates of civil liberties.
He's author of the award-winning A Government of Wolves: The Emerging American Police State, and the best selling Battlefield America: The War On The American People. Also, The End of Man, published in 1986, but sounds like it was written yesterday. Mr. Whitehead, welcome to Geopolitics & Empire, which the Ron Paul Institute describes as "the real underground, where the real intellectual revolution is taking place."
John Whitehead:
Anyway, thank you sir for having me on. I appreciate it.
Geopolitics & Empire:
I do urge people to support the Rutherford Institute. I've got my Rutherford coffee mug, which I don't think you sell this one anymore, and I've got the pamphlets as well that you sell. I love the work you're doing, but let's get right into it. You recently wrote that, "Things are falling apart. How much longer we can sustain the fiction that we live in, the constitutional republic, I cannot say, but anarchy is being loosed upon the nation. We're witnessing the unraveling of the American dream one injustice at a time," end quote.
Myself as a former history teacher, professor, I saw all of this coming. In the 2000s, a nation and republic in a downward spiral. Economic decline, spiritual decline, cultural degeneration, devolution into authoritarianism and tyranny. And it seems we've arrived. What's sort of the big picture here and where are we on the timeline?
John Whitehead:
Well, the government that we have in this country, and I've warned people for years about, is not what you think it is. It's a different type of government. There was an expansive study that came out of Princeton University in 2014, which studied 20 years of laws and policies passed in Washington, DC. The professors came to the conclusion that we live in what they call an auto [inaudible 00:01:55] elite in Washington, DC where all the money congregates.
Washington, DC's basically run by, at the time they estimated 585 billionaires. It later became known as the Deep State. The Deep State is a group called the 7th Floor Group. It was a leaked FBI memo, which said that the government is basically run by the 7th Floor Group, which is, and I've known this for years cause for over 40 years, I've sued in and out of Washington, DC. I've sued the president of the United States, I've seen some stuff. I've had congressmen, former NSA agents meet with me and say, "Here's some more facts that you need to know" and, they're seeing it and they don't like it.
We live, basically, in the United States now, a total surveillance state. We're be watched, and as the future of techno-authoritarianism, our commentary from last week, goes into the fact that the Chinese government, by the way, has a tremendous impact globally, but is having a really big impact in the United States. They have 400 detention camps, they publicize it in China, where people are taken away for whatever, saying the wrong word, wrong religion, those kind of things.
What I see the future of this country is everything that the great science fiction writers have prophesied about, like George Orwell, Phillip K. Dick, and others saw it coming. But now with the emergence of the Chinese government having a new police station now in New York City, three in Canada, 25 cities across the globe, 56 different secret police stations are operating where they're going after former dissidents and people that have escaped to another country from the Chinese tyranny of a detention camp.
They're working with these other guys... This is what blows my mind in a way. They're working with the so-called land of the free government, the American government, to capture people and take them back and put them in detention camps. The people who wrote this constitution, the people who such as it would say, "Are you nuts?" I mean, the fellow who wrote our bill of rights, James Madison said, "We ought to mistrust all those in power."
You studied just the history, and you mentioned some of my books, my book Battlefield America and A Government of Wolves, goes into the history that we faced in the world or whatever from Nazi Germany, before Nazi Germany, the collapse of the Roman Empire. I'm really seeing more as I studied the Roman Empire, the collapse of the United States into a government where people were supposed to be taken away.
I remember the Romans were big into really cruel punishment like crucifixion, stuff like that. Those were lessons, by the way. They were, "If you do this, if you speak truth to power, you're going to get in a lot of trouble," and they would crucify people. We haven't seen that yet, no. I think they're going to be slicker now with the emergence of artificial intelligence and with the coming of singularity in 2029, according to Google, where the human mind's going to fuse with AI, artificial intelligence. That's very likely, in my opinion. People are not going to understand what's going on.
Several Google executives recently resign. One said he resigned because he was really concerned about what they were doing at Google. He said, "We've created God." In other words, what the Chinese government does now with their AI will be operating across the globe. You say the wrong word, you do the wrong thing, you wind up in a real bad situation. That's what I see coming to this country. We're run by people, like I say, the so-called Deep State. They want money, they want control, they want our tax money.
Very similar to that movie by John Carpenter called They Live. The motto was, "They live, we sleep." We're not awake. We're very a lazy populous right now because we're addicted to our screen devices. The average American watches approximately 150 hours of television a month.
Listen, Carl Bernstein of Bernstein & Woodward, when he left after the Nixon debacle and helped expose, he was Pulitzer Prize winning journalists. He started working with the big news publications, the big New York Times and people like that in college. He wrote a very good article, by the way, where he said that it's shocking to find out that the major publications and television network worked with the government to vet articles, help write them.
What you're getting today is, off of mainstream media, I keep warning people, that's why I don't watch mainstream media. I don't need to watch it. I do my own research and I say this and I mean it. Education precedes action. I'm telling people, if you want to act, get educated, folks. If you're quoting somebody from CNN to me, I'm going, "Well, wait a second. That may be a government agent. Do I really want to believe that?" Cause James Madison said, "We ought to mistrust people," and I mistrust people, by the way. I clarify what people are saying if they say something to me.
That's the key thing that we're losing in this country today, is critical thinking. They don't want us to think. That's why children in public schools in America, they are not taught to Bill of Rights anymore. Many of them don't read the Declaration of Independence, and the reason they don't, if you read the preamble of the Declaration of Independence, it says that the government's getting out of control, you can throw it away, get rid of it. They don't want people to think like rebels.
Listen, authoritarian governments have never wanted that. The sad thing about history, as I've seen it, and my book, A Government of Wolves, comes from a great George Merrill quote where he said, "A nation of sheep begets a government of wolves." That's where we're at. We've begat a government of wolves because we're not the kind of people checking on government. We don't get involved. Most people don't get involved even in their local city governments, which I'm saying if there's going to be, let's create islands of freedom and take control of our local city governments.
Our 10th amendment in the US Constitution says that local governments can nullify acts of the federal government. That's federalism....
