Hosting service has totally failed
My website hosting service, InMotion Hosting, has totally failed me with this website.
I contacted tech support 4 times in 4 days before they even responded to my tech support questions. When they finally did respond, the answers only addressed some of the questions.
I then responded with a request that they answer the questions of how this very selective deletion of posts, media files, pages and categories could have happened, and 5 days later I received a response.
Tech support claimed that there was an SQL database error and that they restored it to June 2020. However, that does not explain how media files after that date were affected.
It is my belief (though I do not have evidence) that InMotion is joining other tech platforms and is engaging in censorship of content that does not fit the “official narrative”. InMotion claims that they do not censor.
The very selective nature of the deleted content suggests strongly that this was done by the hosting service, as a hacker would not go to such trouble to be so selective. Those who have followed this site know that there was never any violent, racist, graphic, or other inappropriate content here. Should this posting be deleted, it should serve as proof that InMotion does indeed censor.
Personally, I cannot recommend that anyone use InMotion Hosting as a service.
At this time I am not sure that I will continue building out the site as I have done for the last 14 years. So if those who seek to control narrative and thus by extension to control us, wanted to discourage and shut down voices that do not follow the “official” narrative, congratulations, you have succeeded. Pat yourselves on your back and reflect on how you have done your share to limit freedom, censor, and silence alternative voices.
I will ultimately redesign the site and it will take a whole new format and direction. Until that time, this site will be inactive. I thank everyone who followed the posts here and hopefully your eyes and hearts have been opened to an alternative way of thinking. Hopefully more people now see the “big picture” and how seemingly disconnected events are part of a much larger agenda, that serves not the people, but those who seek to control us.
Please check back periodically to see if the new site is up and running.
End The Illusion site has lost almost 2 years of posts.

Not sure of what has happened, but this site has lost almost 2 years of posts. It appears that it was overwritten by a backup from June 2020 as pages, categories, and posts were all affected.
Tech support has been contacted and we will work to see what can be done to restore the site back.
Thank you for your interest and patience.

The ABCs of Modern Empire
by Naresh Jotwani

To raiders and marauders, there is no fundamental difference between a company and a country; they are just two types of prey.
So what do these examples tell us about the make-up of financial power?
We learn that its main elements are: Easy access to finance, sharp eye for juicy and vulnerable prey, contempt for the prey, single-minded focus, skill in financial number-crunching, tight networking, secrecy, shamelessness, and mastery over the legal system.
Sadly, these qualities define the new standard of human excellence and achievement. Self-proclaimed ‘top business schools’ churn out wannabe raiders and marauders by the thousand.
The thrust of ‘the empire’ today comes from such financial raiders and marauders – not the brave and valiant armies we read about in history. Evidently there is no unified command structure among these raiders and marauders; and of course no higher vision either guides them or binds them together. More…

The State’s Priority Is Protecting Itself, Not You
by Bradley Thomas
Posted June 25, 2020
The contrast between police actions against peaceful lockdown “violators” and the rioters is striking. The instincts of the political class was to haul mothers in parks and hair stylists away in handcuffs, while standing down and allowing private property owned by citizens to burn.
The former involved disobeying a government order, an act which would threaten the perceived authority, no matter how arbitrary, of the state. The latter involved violation and destruction of citizens’ property.
The gravest crimes in the State’s lexicon are almost invariably not invasions of private person or property, but dangers to its own contentment, for example, treason, desertion of a soldier to the enemy, failure to register for the draft, subversion and subversive conspiracy, assassination of rulers and such economic crimes against the State as counterfeiting its money or evasion of its income tax.

Bill Gates’ Web of Dark Money and Influence – Part 2: The COVID-19 Operation
by Derrick Broze
Posted June 24, 2020
This piece will continue our look into Bill Gates and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Please see part 1 before reading. In part 2, we will focus on the role the Foundation has played in the response to COVID-19, as well as the influence the organization has on global health institutions.
Before we dive into the current COVID-19 crisis, a bit more background on Gates is needed. In the last piece we discussed the history of the Gates Foundation’s investments. What is important to note is that by using the Foundation as the front organization, Gates can donate and influence hospitals, universities, media, governments, and health organizations. The Foundation clearly has the ability to shape the decisions made by some of the institutions they fund, including when these decisions go against the desires of the masses they claim to be helping.
According to a report by Politico, Bill Gates’ opinion (and money) has so much influence on the WHO that officials privately call it “the Bill Chill.” Sixteen officials speaking on the condition of anonymity told Politico that Gates has an out-sized influence on the politics of the WHO and few dare challenge him. “He is treated liked a head of state, not only at the WHO, but also at the G20,” a Geneva-based NGO representative stated.

Local TV Stations Pilloried for ‘Shamelessly’ Passing Off Amazon-Scripted Propaganda as News

Local TV Stations Pilloried for ‘Shamelessly’ Passing Off Amazon-Scripted Propaganda as News
by Eoin Higgins
Posted June 23, 2020
At least 10 local news stations around the country aired corporate propaganda from online retail giant Amazon praising the company’s worker safety protocols ahead of a shareholders meeting on Wednesday where investors are expected to demand better protections for employees from the company’s leadership, including CEO Jeff Bezos.
Courier journalist Tim Burke broke the story Tuesday in an article featuring a video showing anchors from the various stations parroting the script. As Burke explained, the majority of the stations running the package did not acknowledge the material was produced by Amazon spokesperson Todd Walker or that the package came from the company.
The segments, which ran about a minute long, praised Amazon’s commitment to employee safety and the roll out of new preventive measures at facilities around the nation. The company sent a prepared script (pdf) and video package to producers. More…
Proof ‘The United States’ is a Criminal Corporation

Proof ‘The United States’ is a Criminal Corporation
By Pao L Chang
Posted June 22, 2020
One of the greatest tricks that the New World Order (NWO) did to enslave the people of the world was to secretly create a corporate version of counties, cities, states, and countries. By doing this, the leaders of the NWO and their minions were able to trick us to unknowingly agree to be “agents” or “employees” of these corporations through the use of fraudulent contracts (i.e., birth certificate, social security card, driver’s license).
The information in this article is more focused on the USA, because I am more familiar with the so called laws in the USA and the U.S. legal system. If you do not live in the USA, you should still read this article for the reason that the same legal system that has enslaved Americans is the same legal system that has enslaved most people of the world.
The “laws” in the USA are not really laws; instead, they are acts and statutes of the United States, Incorporated. In other words, they are rules and codes of a corporation. Like any corporation (i.e., Walmart, Target), you are NOT bound to the rules (acts and statutes) of the United States, Inc. unless you agree to be a citizen (“employee”) of this corporation. The only laws you (the natural living, breathing person) are bound to are the Laws of Nature. More…
NSA’s Social Network Mapping is More Vast, Omnipresent and Horrifying Than Snowden Revealed

NSA’s Social Network Mapping is More Vast, Omnipresent and Horrifying Than Snowden Revealed
by Jake Anderson
Posted June 22, 2020
Most people know by now about the surveillance abuses perpetrated by the NSA earlier this century, but a new book about Edward Snowden suggests that the metadata collection programs introduced to us through previous whistleblowers and disclosures are part of a “live, ever-updating social graph of the US” that is ongoing and far vaster than we previously imagined.
The revelations come from journalist Barton Gellman, who described the content of his new book Dark Mirror: Edward Snowden and the American Surveillance State for Wired. The article, entitled “Inside the NSA’s Secret Tool for Mapping Your Social Network,” catalogs Gellman’s attempts to reveal more details about the programs Snowden first disclosed to the world.
What he found shocked him, and represents an ongoing existential threat to American citizens, he says. More…
EU Planning “Vaccination Passport” Since 2018 “Roadmap on Vaccination” outlines

EU Planning “Vaccination Passport” Since 2018 “Roadmap on Vaccination” outlines
by Kit Knightly
Posted June 21, 2020
A report published by the European Commission in late 2019 reveals that the EU has been looking to increase the scope and power of vaccination programmes since well before the current “pandemic”.
The endpoint of the Roadmap is, among many other things, to introduce a “common vaccination card/passport” for all EU citizens.
This proposal will be appearing before the commission in 2022, with a “feasibility study” set to run from 2019 through 2021 (meaning, as of now, it’s about halfway through).
To underline the point: The “vaccination roadmap” is not an improvised response to the Covid19 pandemic, but rather an ongoing plan with roots going back to 2018, when the EU released a survey of the public’s attitude toward vaccines titled “2018 State of Vaccine Confidence” More…

It is obvious that the US government is destroying Assange to signal to journalists the consequences of publishing information. It is therefore also obvious that any journalist who fails to use whatever platform they have to speak out against Assange’s persecution has no intention of ever publishing anything that the US government doesn’t want published. Their silence on or support for what is being done to this man can and should be taken as an admission that they are nothing other than state propagandists.
