Beyond Our Consent

About the Book

What influences have led America in the space of a single generation to deviate from her path as "champion of the free world"? Why is the supposedly freest, most powerful nation on Earth becoming the most easily vanquished? What forces have changed American minds so drastically as to turn her citizens into their own worst enemies? How has the failure of vigilance, a simple citizens' duty, cost America her leading position in the community of nations - despite her unrivalled achievements?

These and hundreds more disturbing questions about America's carefully shaded past, confused present, and dubious destiny are addressed in this book.

BEYOND OUR CONSENT is a psycho-political study of American history that reveals how and why the "land of the free" has been gradually but steadily guided away from its original founders' noble intent.

These founders deliberately established a new nation in a historically unprecedented action, one that provided true independence to all its mutually aspiring citizens. From the outset, however, the forces of greed and power-lust have surreptitiously and successfully undermined this noble vision. Even now, this nation, once believed to be the home of "the free and the brave", is being reduced to a state of denial , insecurity, and cowering fear of its own bloated, blusteringly arrogant government.

BEYOND OUR CONSENT goes for the throat of America's present failure. It describes the work-the hard work-that must be done in order that Americans can regain the stature their forefathers envisaged for them. This book, like those to follow, addresses itself to readers who are prepared and willing to do that work.

This is the first work in a series called THE ARCADIAN PRIMER , a unique research effort directed toward exposing the truth behind many dark rumors of conspiracy that plague the interplay between U.S. affairs and world events. Readers will discover that the complacency of their daily lives has become immersed in previously unsuspected influences-influences that are quietly modifying traditional American attitudes and behavior to fit an alien agenda, an agenda that leads to helplessness and enslavement.

Traditional political, economic, media, educational, and religious institutions have become infiltrated at the highest levels by "agents" whose agendas are inimical to the interests of trusting American citizens. BEYOND OUR CONSENT examines in penetrating depth the insidious methods these agents employ and the corrosively destructive effects they are having upon a free society.

The "New World Order ", generally conceived as an American triumph, carries within it the seeds of a global totalitarian government controlled by an unimaginably wealthy " Power Elite ". Because most Americans have grown numb to political rhetoric, they may perceive this discussion of the " Power Elite " as yet another exercise in irrelevant catch phrases. Such a response, however, only demonstrates the gradual and intentional erosion of their own capacities for response, their own resistance to a very real threat of enslavement.

The average American citizen has not yet learned that the daily diet of inane stimulation-the exposure to criminal violence, licentious sex, and mindless or bizarre amusement-is in fact a weapon of psychological warfare. The present cultural environment attacks and numbs the senses without leaving any visible trace of its debilitating causes. This tool of war undermines the individual moral sense; ultimately, it will destroy the fabric of society.

The chapters of this book thread through a startling maze of facts, events, and experiences, revealing a pattern of silent conquest, a pattern that concerned readers will recognize as familiar in their own lives and dominant in the unfolding history of our time.

Wherever there is a problem, though, there is also a solution. Americans need look no further than to them selves for the key to the success or failure of liberty. They alone have the option to preserve liberty or to lose it. The power of the possibilities discussed in these pages depends on the American people-the quality of their collective hearts and the determination of their national will.

This book is not easy to read. It was not meant to be. Yet like those to follow, it also offers hope. It reveals the steps by which Americans wandered from the path of duty and shows the means by which Americans may yet retrace their steps, should they dare to make the effort.

Unless they do, history will prove the truth of Edmund Burke's warning:

"All that is needed for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."

"It's all about US!"

About the Author

Robert Harris Brevig, author of BEYOND OUR CONSENT, and many articles presented on his distinctive and informative NATIONMAKERS website, has a background of training and experience with the United States Army's Special Forces (Airborne). He served in both Headquarters and "A-Team" capacities and also volunteered to participate in developing the Pentagon's first experimental, "Top Secret", Long Range Reconnaissance Patrols (LRRP - ["Eyes behind the lines"] - Airborne). Their mission was to deploy by parachute, or other means, and infiltrate behind the enemy's lines for the purpose of securing strategic Combat Intelligence information and/or undertaking "shock operations".

His Special Operations unit's cold-war mission also included the secret deployment of Special Atomic Demolition Munitions (SADM-"tactical nukes") at strategic locations along East / West European borders in the event of a feared Soviet land invasion. Then, by employing "escape and evasion" tactics by which to survive their intrusions into unfriendly territory, return to their own friendly lines. Joint training exercises often included German Special Forces, British Commandos and French Foreign Legionnaires.

Brevig was awarded British and German parachutist "wings" for his participation in these operations in several European countries during the cold-war. of the early 1960's.

His military career was unceremoniously interrupted by severe injuries he sustained in a terrifying plunge from an aircraft at an altitude of 1200 feet (nearly 400 meters) when both his parachutes failed to fully deploy. After a lengthy recovery and eventual separation, his continuing adventures led him on an odyssey across Western and Eastern Europe and into the Middle East as a news journalist based in Teheran, Iran when the Arab/Israeli, "Six-Day War", broke out in 1967.

Other career endeavors have included exhibition parachutist, boat builder, Pacific island plantation management, cultural exchange and project development with indigenous people, camping, recreational and community facilities development and management, selective logging of exotic woods and native artifacts procurement.

He has since traveled extensively, observed carefully, and awakened considerably, while enjoying such pastimes as flying, sport parachuting, sailing, diving for gold, and exploring megalithic sites of the South Pacific along the way. He has also, for nearly thirty years, given much serious study to the subjects upon which he writes and is considered to be a devoted and qualified, if self-styled and self-educated, "CURIOLOGIST".

His recently authored work, BEYOND OUR CONSENT: "A History Of Secret Power, Deception And Abandonment Of Freedom In America", also appears currently as an E-book on his Web Site. The second book in a trilogy, THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY, will appear soon as a new addition to this site. A third book, ESCAPE TO UNDERSTANDING, will follow in due course. He presently lives with his partner in life in a beautifully secluded valley by the sea on the island of Maui in the Hawaiian archipelago.
