Modernity
Simplified
What
is all this verbiage by Project HumanbeingsfirstTM really
all about? Is there a reductionist and simplified explanation at the
level of a 'poor-man'?
Yes.
In the simplest terms: 'Might defines right'.
This
leads to “Hegemony is as old as mankind”.
That
in turn leads to the following predatory psychology for
Machiavellianly exercising primacy –
some call it empire:
- If we don't have real enemies then we have to create or imagine some, and yell 'we are being attacked' in order to, principally:
- a) justify one's hegemonic barbarianism upon others; and
- b) motivate an unwilling plebeian peoples into sacrificing for the conquests of the oligarchic elite.
Euphemistically,
today as the winning empire, this is called “imperial
mobilization”.
Grotesquely,
for previously defeated empires, it is called “quest for
Lebensraum”.
That's
all there is to it.
All
which follows is only in further examination of how that is
accomplished under the veneer of “democracy”, because, in
the absence of such deception, “democracy is inimical to
imperial mobilization”. That quoted statement was made by
Zbigniew Brzezinski in his 1997 book: The Grand Chessboard –
American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives.
This
revived “quest for Lebensraum” (German word for
seeking more living space as an imperative), ahem, “imperial
mobilization” of the ruling oligarchy, the Übermensch
(German word for superior, above all others, superman), just happens
to be the age-old quest for one-world government in disguise.
It
is to be achieved piece-meal, incrementally, one fait accompli at a
time, one fabricated crisis at a time, one manufactured war at a
time, one real or imagined pestilence at a time, one catastrophe at a
time.
The
pathocracy of modern Machiavellian statecraft – commandeered
entirely by sociopaths who seem to uncannily just rise above the rest
of the populations to always gather at the helm of power from
generation to generation in the same tribes and families –
requires continuous threats, crises, and uncertainty, in order to
corral the far more peaceable instincts of the modern public into
accepting the primacy agenda of the ruling oligarchy. During these
times of crises, chaos, and terror, any kind of abhorrence can be
accomplished: “What is inconceivable in normal times is
possible in revolutionary times.”
In
this Machiavellian construct based on “revolutionary times”,
the solution presented for addressing each uncertainty is the next
baby-step towards centralized global control of all humanity in a
global empire of the financial oligarchy.
The
modus operandi is to deliberately create problems and offer only
those solutions which result in bigger government, incrementally
leading to one world government. The documentary film maker G. Edward
Griffin in his 1970 classic The Capitalist Conspiracy, captured this
modus operandi with succinct eloquence:
“Create
conditions so frightful at home and abroad that the abandonment of
personal liberties and national sovereignty will appear as a
reasonable price for a return to domestic tranquility and world
peace.”
That
world order, the new world order, as we can already perceive even in
its initial stages, is governed with moral relativism wherein legal
opinions as proclaimed by the United States Supreme Court justice,
guide law and law-givers rather than the platitudinous Biblical
morality which is left for the public mind to swallow while the state
mind, like its military, only follows whatever is expedient or helps
achieve its objectives:
“Nothing
is more certain in modern society than the principle that there are
no absolutes, that a name, a phrases, a standard has meaning only
when associated with the considerations which give birth to
nomenclature. To those who would paralyze our Government in the face
of impending threat by encasing it in a semantic strait-jacket, we
must reply that all concepts are relative.”
That
verdict from the legal mind of the highest court of the sole
superpower is based on the reality of law quoted in The Protocols:
“In
the beginnings of the structure of society, they [the beasts of prey
who are called men] were subjected to brutal and blind force; after
words – to Law, which is the same force, only disguised. I draw
the conclusion that by the law of nature right lies in force;”
The
term 'oligarchic elite' refers to people who are several notches
above – and more hidden from public view in their enormous
wealth and their secretive exercise of 'social engineering' –
than what is typically understood by the term 'ruling elite', or
simply the 'elite'. The latter often refers to the generally affluent
1% of any society, the super-rich, more interested in being rich and
running corporations than in 'social engineering' agendas, and many
among them can be found in the Forbes' richest people listing. These
super-rich, and how they hide their massive wealth, pay little or no
income and inheritance tax, while still accumulating and controlling
their purses across generations, can be read about in Ferdinand
Lundberg's 1968 classic The Rich and the Super-Rich.
But
one will never see a Rothschild name, or David Rockefeller listed in
Forbes annual billionaires list. That's perhaps because they are
trillionaires, with all their massive wealth legally hidden behind
private tax-exempt foundations, trusts, and in their opaque ownership
of private and family-owned banks, which in turn own many a private
central bank which issue the currency of developed nations as
national debt secured by public taxation! Once they control the money
supply of the nation, they effectively control the nation. This
ultra-rich oligarchy of the West musters vast sums of private and
public monies for social engineering – the study and control of
public behavior. They administer untold funds, influence, and policy
prescriptions through their tax-exempt foundations, think-tanks, and
through their control of supra national organizations, lending
agencies, governing bodies, and through the never-closing revolving
door between government (regulatory bodies) and military-industrial
complex. They make the laws to suit their enterprise, be it for
profit, or for primacy. That is not call piracy; it is called empire.
This grotesque reality of law and legality based on the fiat of power
was ably captured by St. Augustine of Hippo in 4th century AD:
“When
the King asked him what he meant by infesting the sea, the pirate
defiantly replied: 'the same as you do when you infest the whole
world; but because I do it with a little ship I am called a robber,
and because you do it with a great fleet, you are an emperor.'”
The
financial oligarchy in modernity are the 'king makers' who craft
their 'errand boys' to do their private policy bidding behind the
facade of elected representatives of the people. The executive,
legislative, judiciary, press, and foreign office all implement their
base policies in an incestuously self-reinforcing group-think whose
championing is rewarded with opportunities to advance, and which
never changes despite all the policy squabbles between the
Republicans and the Democrats, or the Socialists and the Capitalists,
or the Left and the Right, etc. The insignificant differences in the
overarching scheme of things are greatly amplified to portray
“change” by the corporate newsmedia which also marches to
the tunes played by the Mighty Wurlitzer
in the same incestuously self-reinforcing group-think. Which is why
the core policies and the core narratives in fact never change with
the change in governments of any Western nation, but especially the
United States of America. The most pertinent example of this is the
Global War on Terror, the World War IV that is rapidly changing the
face of the entire planet towards global governance. From George Bush
the Republican to Barack Obama the Democrat, the election platform
sold to the public was indeed of “change”. That base
deception upon which a lifetime of warfare has been based, is aided
and abetted by other controlled-chaos situations and their supporting
narratives, such as global warming blamed on human production, global
financial collapse blamed on shortsightedness, global pandemics
blamed on nature, and perhaps even global alien invasion in the near
future to be blamed on extraterrestrials. All enabling the piece-meal
transformation of the planet towards a one-world government. This is
empirical reality which is visible to anyone. But few intellectuals
in the world wish to see it, speak of it, or like to hear a spade
being called a spade:

speak no evil, see no evil (image via wikipedia)
To
unmask them all before fait accompli is Project Humanbeingsfirst's
categorical imperative – i.e., before it's all a done deal.
Ex
post facto, narrators and historians can rehearse the deceptions and
its scholarly disentanglement in the comforts of one-world
government. And of course laugh their way to fame and fortune just as
today's narrators call it erudite scholarship to openly rehearse the
settlement of the Americas and the genocide of millions of its
indigenous peoples.
Even
the sixth graders in elementary schools today throughout the North
American continent learn of the choice between the gattling-gun
(force) and the small-pox laden bacteriological warfare (treachery)
magnanimously offered to the indigenous natives, without batting
their own eye-lids or offering a few tears in compensation.
Detachment
from history and from previous generations who inflict crimes upon
the 'lesser humanity', the untermensch
(German word for 'lesser peoples', the unworthy, the disposable, the
sub-human), evidently washes away both the evidence and the guilt.
But not the bold, sometimes truthful, and often sanitized narratives
which become openly public, and their narrators, lauded scholars and
touted academics.
In
the transition to the modernity of today, the euphemisms have become
considerably refined with the march of Western civilization. It is
now the more egalitarian choice between “democracy”
(euphemism for force) and “revolution” (euphemism for
treachery) under the dialectical “either you are with us, or
you are with the terrorists”, that is being magnanimously
offered to the indigenous natives along the “arc of crisis”
in the “Global Zone of Percolating Violence”.
The objectives unfortunately remain the same as in antiquity –
by hook or by crook usurping what does not belong to one. The two
quoted descriptive phrases are once again Zbigniew Brzezinski's,
respectively from a January 15, 1979 Time magazine article titled
'IRAN: The Crescent of Crisis', and from Brzezinski's already
mentioned 1997 book.
Thusly,
in the case of our own modernity as well, perhaps only our progeny
might also bear truthful witness to the crimes and sham of
intellectualism of their hypocritical ancestors – scholars,
leaders, military-men, holy-men, politicians, teachers, news-bearers,
both in the West and the East, on the left and the right – who
hath proclaimed to stand for truth, but who only aided and abetted
vile hegemonic power with their own convolutions and confabulations.
Modernity du jour is entirely unwilling to unravel their confusing
and deceptive narratives.
We
must wait a 100 years, or perhaps only 20, before anyone who is a
somebody will again truthfully proclaim how new 'smallpox laden
blankets' were used to fashion one-world government. Before then, it
is all to be dismissed as 'conspiracy theory'.
This
is why, as had been self-servingly predicted by the Council on
Foreign Relations in 1974:
“...
it will look like a great ‘booming, buzzing confusion’ to
use William James’ famous description of reality, but an end
run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece will
accomplish much more than the old-fashioned frontal assault.”
The
myriad manufactured crises which afflict humanity today – from
perpetual 'War on Terror' to perpetual Counter Insurgency to sudden
Revolutions to Global Financial Crisis to Global Pandemics to Global
Warming, perhaps even Global Alien-UFO Landings/Sightings and/or
other Intergalactic Catastrophes – are the successive Hegelian
mind-fcks, ahem, the “acts” and “deeds”
of making current affairs “look like a great ‘booming,
buzzing confusion’ to use William James’ famous
description of reality,”.
Each
new ‘booming, buzzing confusion’, designed to wear-out
the sanity of mankind by plunging them repeatedly into a state of
panic, war weariness, and disillusionment, generates the new enabling
pretext for creating bigger government with more global laws, thereby
inching the world one baby step closer each time towards the Global
Governance of the entire planet.
That,
all that, in the simplest of terms, is Modernity Simplified to the
level of a 'poor-man' (i.e., one with limited ability, or time, or
even inclination, to carefully read, reflect, and reason about the
period one lives in).
That
most straightforward and succinct introduction to reality took less
then 2000 words. You certainly won't get that reading a hundred books
on current affairs found prominently displayed in Barnes and Noble
(the last remaining brick-and-mortar bookstore chain in the United
States). Nor in expensive graduate degree programs in International
Relations, which are basically designed to fashion a dedicated cadre
of useful idiots in the service of empire.
For
perceptive readers who already comprehend the natural instinct for
primacy among the predator species, and can easily extend its lessons
to the greatest of all predators, man, espousing nihilistic will
to power rather than any moral sense, the preceding explanation
of behind the scenes oligarchic forces orchestrating current affairs
for world primacy while maintaining the illusion of “happenstance”
in making “contemporary history”, is sufficient to turn
on their internal light bulbs with which they may easily navigate
modernity on their own.
Others,
especially those who feel that something does not quite add up in all
the absurdities they are being subjected to in the press, in school,
in their profession, in the society, in their daily lives, such as,
for instance:
(1)
being forced to pass through x-ray body scanners at airports for
protection from phantasmal terrorists who can successfully hijack
four airliners simultaneously in the sky with merely box-cutter
knives, or subject themselves to humiliating body-searches by gloved
hands if they “opt-out” from accumulating this deadly
doze of radiation they are told is necessary for their own
protection;
(2)
being forced to open up their private lives to government
eavesdropping for further protection from these ubiquitous terror
plotters who are so powerful that they can strike anywhere at anytime
in the most armed to the teeth superpower state which has ever
existed in the history of mankind, necessitating Big Brother to watch
over the public for public safety;
(3)
being forced to pay for the financial collapse by bailing out
too-big-to-fail banks with enormous public debt making these
institutions and their executives even richer in the national
adversity in which everyone else is made to feel the pain;
(4)
or wonder what's wrong with the commonsense of the rulers that they
are forcing a global police-state upon the public almost identically
with the methods depicted in the Orwellian fable 1984;
etceteras,
but they belong to the category of The Poor-Man
and just cannot put the complex jigsaw puzzle of modernity together,
well, now they know it too. It is not so complex. It just takes a
skeptical mind developing keener insights into the modus operandi of
exercising primacy with techniques far more sophisticated than used
by autocratic kings and absolute rulers of antiquity. Unfortunately,
the public mind is often like the child's, unable to fathom the uber
tom cat's natural instinct for primacy. This is why
Machiavellianness, Plausible Deniability, Big Lie, always succeed.

Swallowing
The “Red Pill”
Since
you have read this far, you have evidently decided to take the “Red
Pill”. So let's swallow it to dive a bit deeper into the rabbit
hole and see how primacy engages with political philosophy without a
crisp understanding of which, you can never fully comprehend its
apparent madness. It is anything but mad
--- unless primacy itself is considered mad. It should not be. It is
an instinct for unbridled dominance in the
higher order primates and arguably underwrites some evolution of the
same species on the natural time scale termed
“survival of the fittest” through “natural
selection” – the nineteenth century cause célèbre
of Darwinianists. But social Darwinianists,
the neo Darwinian predators who apply “natural selection”
to themselves, the Übermensch exercising their “will
to power”, wish to accelerate
that natural process unnaturally through their quest for full
spectrum dominance over all things, all life, all thoughts, and
all systems. And that quest for primacy and social engineering poses
a real danger to normal peoples and to their civilizations.
That
predatory instinct should be treated as the most formidable
enemy of mankind and its expression a ruthless virus. Unfortunately,
the instinct for primacy has instead been made noble, its expression
labeled “foreign policy”, its victims “useless
eaters”, its pursuit “sagaciousness”, its scholars
“intellectuals”, its strategists “think-tanks”,
its authors “national security advisors”, its stooges
“terrorists”, its justification just one short sentence:
“Hegemony is as old as mankind.”, and its ultimate prize:
one-world government. Who dare standup to all that “nobility”?
A
majority of rational people among the public who are smart enough to
recognize this “nobility”, just slink away from
confrontation thinking to themselves that that's how all empires
work. All empires throughout history have been driven by their so
called “divine destiny”; have harbored no concept of
morality except for controlling its public; and pursued their own
best imperial interests which have only been checked by other empires
doing the same. And they have all disappeared on the sands of time.
This present empire is going to be no different, even if it flies the
indomitable Stars and Stripes of Pax Americana today.
How long will it last? So why bother with who's behind it? Instead,
let's just go back to basics of what it means to be human and the
purpose of life: to seek the promised Heaven beyond (if religious)
and self-actualization (if secular). Either way it is far more
productive than standing up to the predators of earth who have always
existed, and always shall exist, and also far more rewarding if you
go along with their agenda or don't oppose them. All you have to do
is to make sure you aren't among the “useless eater”
category and you are all set. Only fools with nothing to lose wage
revolutions. And where has that got us? We are caught up in even more
global tyranny today. So they reason, rather effectively too.
This
is the pragmatic crowd of sophisticated survivors who well-understand
primacy of the uber privileged class and wish to live for their own
narrower self-interests without too much selling of their soul. They
easily rationalize away their hearing no
evil, speaking no evil, and seeing no evil. These are not ignorant or
lazy peoples, but are just too poor in time and inclination to dig
any deeper than just that general homey understanding. More often,
the few pragmatists who understand the system are themselves so
dependent on it feeding them that they have no choice but to be a
part of it and to defend its very existence. So thanks for choosing
the “red pill” --- if you don't know what that is, see
the Hollywood fable “Matrix” where the character Morpheus
offers to take the character Neo down the rabbit hole of
reality if he took the “Red Pill”, and to let him stay in
his dream world believing whatever he
wanted if he took the “Blue Pill”.
As
the effect of the “Red Pill” kicks in, which it evidently
is since you are still reading this, let's dive straight into the
rabbit hole to see how deep it really goes and why escaping from it
has become so difficult. However, as the Oracle reminds the
character Neo in the aforementioned fable: “you
have to make up your own damn mind!”
When
the absolute rule of gods on earth was challenged by plebeian norms,
whereby individual rights and personal freedoms were equated by the
Renaissance philosophers with inalienable rights; whereby the West,
only just emerging from its Dark Ages, started to harken back to the
democratic ideals developed by the Greeks at the zenith of the
Hellenic Civilization of empowering the “demos”; and even
young thinkers in the Middle Ages boldly started proposing end to
tyranny of the gods on earth (for example, Etienne de La Boétie,
in his 1523 The Politics of Obedience: The Discourse of Voluntary
Servitude); Machiavelli was introduced to the Prince to enable
exercising the same prerogatives as absolute kings but under public
illusions of “freedom”.
Political
theories from Plato to Hegel illustrate how the state can easily take
over the public mind to govern it with an iron fist with even a
measure of their own consent, if the reins of suzerainty
are held in the hands of Übermensch. As Goethe, the
German philosopher, had trenchantly
observed: “none are more helplessly enslaved than those who
falsely believe they are free”. Which is why Plato
advocated the “philosopher-king” for governing a republic
in the best public interest, with the highest moral standards of
truth, reaching closest to divine truth, rather than in narrow
self-interest. Nietzsche trumped Plato by killing God and advocating
man become his own god with his will to power. Nietzsche's one
tiny change to Plato's “philosopher-king” has made all
the difference to political theories of primacy. It has lent primacy
respectability!
Arguably,
Nietzsche is effectively Plato except for that one tiny change to
“philosopher-king” rule being closest to divine rule. The
superman replacing God now defines “truth” itself,
and thus its rule is itself “divine”! Reading Plato with
that mental substitution of “philosopher-king” being the
superman leads to the empiricism of
today. Plato had warned of it in his Simile of the Cave where
the controllers outside the cave subjecting the cave dwellers to
total perception management are indeed Nietzschean
superman. Reading Nietzsche with Plato in the backdrop explains a
great deal of modernity. It would not be inaccurate to aver that our
dystopic modernity is underwritten by the
philosophical product of Plato and Nietzsche merged together. The
role of state in The Republic was picked up by Hegel with the
tiny modification that the state is not defined to serve the people
in their own best interest (the platitudinous by the people, for the
people, of the people, sold to gullible public), but the people are
obligated to serve the state in its best interest. The state is
supreme, over the rights of man, and run by superman. This is
termed statism. Its continuous growth and expansion with the superman
in the driving seat is only natural, and its culmination is
automatically world superstate. But at times: (1) illusions of
“demos” self-empowerment have to be maintained
(“democracy” is usually a good bet); and (2) conflicts
and revolutionary times fashioned and manufactured to destroy
existing world order in order to raise a new world order from the
ashes left behind in the age-old spirit of raising the Phoenix from
its ashes (“Hegelian Dialectic”).
The
superman often says with his lips exactly opposite to what he
does with his hands without any moral compunction. I did not make
that up. Here is Arnold J. Toynbee, Director, Royal Institute of
International Affairs, (Chatham House) London, in 1931:
“We
are at present working discreetly with all our might to wrest this
mysterious force called sovereignty out of the clutches of the local
nation states of the world. All the time we are denying with our
lips what we are doing with our hands, because to impugn the
sovereignty of the local nation states of the world is still a heresy
for which a statesman or publicist can perhaps not quite be burned at
the stake but certainly be ostracized or discredited.” --
Arnold J. Toynbee, The Trend of International Affairs Since the War,
International Affairs, Nov. 1931, pg. 809
The
alert of mind would immediately ask: (1) what is the Royal Institute
of International Affairs, London? And (2) why are they speaking of
wrestling away sovereignty in 1931 just as they have dismembered the
Ottoman empire into small nation-states after the first World War,
and are about to dismember the Indian sub-continent and Palestine in
the same way after the next World War?
Well,
the RIIA in London is the twin sister of the Council on Foreign
Relations in New York, both offspring of the defunct Round Table
which played a crucial role in international geopolitics. in
orchestrating war and peace, in the early part of the twentieth
century as the privately funded oligarchic arm of Britannia, just
like the East India Company was before it. The Round Table was
replaced by its cross-Atlantic twins after World War I to better
coordinate the oligarchy's manipulation of world affairs. And do you
know what the Round Table was, if you have even heard of it?
Founded
with Cecil Rhodes immense largesse to bring the wayward child across
the Atlantic that had broken away so impetuously, the United States
of America, back into the fold of the British empire; and to
orchestrate world affairs for perpetual rule by the white Anglo Saxon
race with the invisible oligarchy at the top of the rule chain. Once
again, the financial oligarchy behind the scenes, the unaccountable
superman, managing world affairs from behind the shadows of
their political front-men who are groomed into positions of
legislative power to do their private bidding by enacting public
legalisms in their favor. That's what the Rhodes scholarship is all
about for instance, to select and groom the worthy craftsmen of
empire.
As
for why speak of extracting sovereignty from nation-states on the one
hand while these are being carved into existence from defeated
empires and former slave-colonies of the British empire, one has to
get deeply into the philosophy of conflict as a means of
transformation, and the break-before-remake cycles to incrementally
create the ultimate world order in which all nations have lost their
sovereignty! Yes, one-world government, and that statement, as a
reminder, is circa 1931, well before World War II, the Cold War
labeled World War III, and this lifetime of Global War on Terror
today which is labeled World War IV.
That
should also answer the next question to pop into the alert mind: who
is it that the famous British historian Arnold J. Toynbee is
referring to as the director of RIIA? Who do they represent who “are
denying with our lips what we are doing with our hands”? The
oligarchy that finances the organization through its tax-exempt
foundations and private trusts. An alert mind may also wonder how
they can lie like that and openly admit to it so unabashedly in
specialized publications like International Affairs (and Foreign
Affairs, its New York twin)? Because, these are typically only read
by the elites involved in the game of international primacy who are
more used to the higher order thinking of the higher order primates
than the ordinary common man suffering his morals. But the agenda is
not a closely held secret, it's all in the open. Yet the public mind
is fed on the fodder of nationalism and patriotism in battle fields
across the world while global governance is orchestrated behind the
scenes by the oligarchic instruments quite openly.
The
rich bibliography on this subject goes back to several hundred years,
to the natural philosophers, but I am only aware of the actual
evidence of conspiracy being unearthed going back to Adam Weishaupt
of Bavaria in 1775, at the very founding epoch of the United States
of America, and it shows a remarkable continuity of agenda,
motivation, and secret cabals across generations and continents, all
sharing in one common goal: global primacy of the superman.
The empiricism du jour of the unrelenting drive towards global
governance under the pretexts of managing crises and conflicts,
speaks factually to that long running sport of the gods:
“We
are living through exceptionally difficult times. Financial crisis
and its dramatic impact on employment and budgets, the climate crisis
which threatens our very survival --- a period of anxiety,
uncertainty, and lack of confidence. Yet these problems can be
overcome, by a joint effort, in and between our countries. 2009 is
also the first year of Global Governance with the establishment of
the G-20 in the middle of financial crisis. The climate conference in
Copenhagen is another step towards the Global Management of our
Planet. Our mission, our presidency is one of hope, supported by
acts, and by deeds.” -- Herman Van Rompuy, EU Council
President, press conference Nov. 19, 2009
And
why not, as the superman argues? As god, the superman
is at liberty to define the social values, laws, rules, morality,
news for others, but not be bound by these himself – for he is
no longer beholden to, or bound by, the ordinary moral standards of
good and evil. He is beyond all that humdrum normalcy introduced by
religions which interferes with evolution to create a higher order
being and higher order society based on man's reason. He is above all
others who subscribe to any divine prescription since he knows that
God is dead. He, as god himself, can define morality for others,
termed Secular Humanism, but not be bound by it himself as the
age-old privilege of gods and supergods. We see
that moral relativism in the statement of the United States Supreme
Court justice quoted earlier. This is poignantly caricaturized
in the Greek myths of the pantheon of gods who treated man as sport,
to be played with, often for their own rivalries. Doesn't
that have an uncanny resemblance to the gods of modernity, secular
and religious, on the throne and the pulpit, elected and inherited,
who demand obedience from man, create wars, pestilence,
pandemics, financial boom and bust cycles, predictable financial
collapses, as sport at the expense of the bewildered public who
easily comply with their life and labor under illusions which have
been carefully fed to them? Instead of rivalry among themselves, the
gods today appear to be rather cooperative among each other in
playing their game of primacy for the whole earth as the prize.
An
episode of this sport of gods was even witnessed on live television
in the Untied States in 2008, when the instruments of the oligarchy
compelled the superpower Congress to bailout the financial
institutions with trillions of dollars in public debt despite wide
spread public resistance to giving such subsidy to the financial
oligarchy at the public's expense. Few comprehended the game at that
time for none of the financial experts and most read financial rags
analyzed the real diabolical purpose for which the bailout was given
legally by the United States legislature – to create such
unpayable national debt, secured of course with public taxation, that
the superpower and its public would forever remain in the clutches of
oligarchic control, to be played at will. There is a diabolical
Talmudic theory of interest on unpayable debt, forbidden in all
religions except in predatory theology, that underlies the empirical
control over state and political succession seen time and again
throughout history until today:
“Give
me control of a nations money supply and I care not who makes it
laws.”
The
United States Congress and President participated in that sporting
subversion of their own nation contrary to public interest –
and it would not have mattered who were occupying those positions.
Every set has, since the founding of the Federal Reserve System in
1913, and will in the foreseeable future,
comply with the will of the oligarchy. That oligarchy today proudly
extols the virtues of national debt on the US
Treasury website
as the price of liberty:
“The
United States debt, foreign and domestic, was the price of liberty.”
What
can the hens do when all positions to guard the hen
house are always held by foxes who legislate for the superman?
No one can rise to those positions of political power except wolves
and foxes beholden to the superman.
The
financial bailout by the venerable American Congress is veritable
proof of that empirical statement. Even the
blind academic experts should be able to see it. But evidently don't.
And for good reason. Here is W. Cleon Skousen,
a former FBI agent, commenting on Carroll Quigley's revelations in
Tragedy and Hope of the financial oligarchy orchestrating
world government, and explaining how so few can so easily purchase
the silence and cooperation of so many:
“The
real value of Tragedy and Hope … [is the] bold and boastful
admission by Dr. Quigley that there actually exists a relatively
small but powerful group which has succeeded in acquiring a
choke-hold on the affairs of practically the entire human race. Of
course we should be quick to recognize that no small group could
wield such gigantic power unless millions of people in all walks of
life were “in on the take” and were willing to knuckle
down to the iron-clad regimentation of the ruthless bosses behind the
scenes. As we shall see, the network has succeeded in building
its power structure by using tremendous quantities of money (together
with the vast influence it buys) to manipulate, intimidate, or
corrupt millions of men and women and their institutions on a
world-wide basis.” -- W. Cleon Skousen, The Naked Capitalist,

Plato had argued for his “philosopher-king” being the
natural shepherd of the public 2500 years ago because of his virtue
of being closer to truth, Nietzsche too argued in the 19th century
that this modern superman knows best due to his higher
intelligence and reliance on reason rather than superstition; except
that the superman knows best in his own self-interest rather
than necessarily public interest now that there is no God and no
absolute code of moral conduct. And that is just natural selection at
work. The superman is more intelligent, more self-empowering,
more adept, than ordinary man. Therefore, he is naturally privileged
to become the shepherd. Or, as some argue, the wolf, in sheep
clothing. It is admitted openly by the wolves themselves: “some
are sheep while others are wolves, we are the wolves”.
Here
is one of the wolves at work constructing our “contemporary
history” before our very eyes by putting all the preceding
political theory of primacy to good use and expecting only rejoicing
by future generations for what is ultimately to be raised from the
ashes of “total war” – and hopefully you now
understand what it is that the wolf claims “our children
will sing great songs about us years from now”:
“No
stages. This is total war. We are fighting a variety of enemies.
There are lots of them out there. All this talk about first we are
going to do Afghanistan, then we will do Iraq… this is
entirely the wrong way to go about it. If we just let our vision of
the world go forth, and we embrace it entirely and we don’t try
to piece together clever diplomacy, but just wage a total war…
our children will sing great songs about us years from now.”
-- Michael Ledeen, speaking at the AEI
(American Enterprise Institute), 10/29/2001,
via historycommons.org
For
the superman, ends justify the means. The calculus of primacy
permits no moral considerations to interfere, which are left mainly
as a lip-service for those too squeamish or
feeble-minded to accept higher order thinking of achieving objectives
in the military-style. The ends are therefore beyond the calculus of
morality, beyond good and evil, and determined solely by will to
power. Therefore, any means can be adopted to reach those
objectives – because, by definition, the ends are now “noble”
since these are defined as such by the new god, the Übermensch,
using his superior intelligence and reason. Lies, deception, deceit,
in that path is merely “noble lies”. Any mayhem is “noble
mayhem”. The invasion of Iraq was based on such “noble
lies”, for instance, and even admitted and dismissed by empire
as merely an “oops – intelligence
failure”! All of 9/11 narrative and concomitant acts of
barbarism by empire is based solely on this “noble”
ideology of the superman. It affords those flushed with the
hubris of unassailable power the license
for primacy as “legitimate” social Darwinianism. As they
say, only the king can wear the crown, legally. And the king made
that law himself.
Ask
yourself: does a shepherd ever worry about
slaughtering sheep if he has to supply mutton to his customers or for
his own feast? The sheep is just a herd, a resource to be managed,
bred, controlled, and harvested. And, for that matter, as the
aristocratic British philosopher of the oligarchy, Bertrand Russell
stylishly observed of the public mind that is reduced to serfdom: it
is as likely to revolt against its chains as the sheep revolt against
the habit of mutton eating!
Indeed,
virtually all of modernity is run by supermen who have killed
off God and rule for their own primacy objectives that are now
global, by employing diabolical recipes laid
out by political philosophers dating as far back as Plato, to
Machiavelli, Nietzsche, Hegel, Leo Strauss et. al. These techniques
span the full gamut of creating opportunities
and situations in the form of crises, catastrophes,
war; all harbingers of controlled chaos also called “revolutionary
times”. Only during these revolutionary times what is
inconceivable in normal times is made
realizable. The control of the public mind is key to the successful
harvesting of these opportunities for major social
transformation. If the superman fails to capitalize on
these rare moments, a whole world is lost. I did not just make that
up. Here is David Ben-Gurion:
“What
is inconceivable in normal times is possible in revolutionary times;
and if at this time the opportunity is missed and what is possible at
such great hours is not carried out – a whole world is lost.”
There
is more empirical reality captured in that short description of
political theory of modern primacy than in the venerable platitudes
of the Holy Bible and the Holy Quran combined --- that's tabulating
the belief system of close to three quarters of the earth's
population. For it explains virtually all of modernity which no
Heavenly Book can. The divine theological prescriptions of virtue of
every religion which seemingly occupy so much of man's time to escape
from reality, do not claim to be political treatise on techniques of
primacy. But rather, as for instance, the Holy Qur'an claims itself
to be moral guidance for the virtuous, the
Bible is claimed to be moral guidance for sinners, etc. You cannot
really comprehend how the mind of modern infamy works by studying
virtue. Those seeking to understand the twisted times they live in by
studying holy books and in holy sermons, which evidently are many if
full occupancy of mosques, churches and temples of every sort
throughout the world in this resurgence of spirituality
in the age of nihilism is any indication of how people are using
their free time, may be better off studying political philosophers
instead. Beginning with Plato's Simile of the Cave in The
Republic, one would immediately realize that religion in the hand of
superman is just another tool of primacy. Mosque
occupancy since 9/11 for instance has increased many fold --- and
what do they rehearse there? The 'good Muslim' vs. 'bad Muslim',
'moderate Islam' vs. 'militant Islam' Hegelian Dialectic (!) without
a clue as to how that controlled narrative being broadcast from the
pulpit is in fact the imperial narrative manipulating their mind. And
consequently, controlling their behavior in getting the Muslim public
alongside the world public “United We Stand” with
empire's barbarianism.
Obedience
is the operative watchword in whatever “ism”, statism,
barbarianism, patriotism, nationalism, religionism, secularism,
globalism, communism, socialism, and yes, also capitalism which is
dominated by global MNC sharks today as the corporate army of Western
power bloc much like the East India Company was an instrument of
power for Britannia for over 200 years. Some argue that MNCs are
indeed the new rulers of the world but they misperceive. The MNCs are
only the supra-national instruments alongside the UN, the World Bank,
the IMF, the WHO, by which the oligarchy rules not just our national
but also our daily lives.
Insights
as you have hopefully gained in this short space already, you cannot,
do not, and never can, get in any normal academic setting, or from
the news, or from the intellectuals of empire unless you are being
groomed for the role of primacy, for all live off the largesse of
empire manufacturing both consent and dissent to control the public
mind. Normal people don't read any of that stuff, let alone
understand it, but the superman does! Which is why it is hard
for the public mind to fathom the mind of superman, or
comprehend its tortuous scripts of mass behavior control.
A
straightforward and rather objective litmus test of the real
existence of this ubiquitous control system is readily available to
anyone. After all, empiricism is an easily verifiable adjudicator of
truth or falsity of any falsifiable proposition. Try pursuing a free
inquiry into the HolocaustTM in any academic,
professional, or arts and letters setting in any nation in the West.
I believe in Europe and Canada you are still put in jail as of 2014
if you reach an intellectual conclusion other than the one legally
sanctioned. In the United States you at least cannot find
professional employment afterward if you can even survive the ordeal
at the hands of the ADL. All the vaunted freedoms of the West which
permit burning the Holy Qur'an, making fun of the Prophets of Islam,
including Jesus, suddenly stop at the doorsteps of the HolocaustTM
gas chambers. The same sacred cow sanctification process is
being applied to 9/11. Apart from what the public is made to believe
through ubiquitous narrative control, what they so easily subject
themselves to at American airports is open for all to see. The added
force of the President of the United States, Barack Obama, issuing a
stern warning to skeptics hasn't quite helped that great intellectual
and personal freedoms of the West being shoved down every nation's
throat:
“I
am aware that there is still some who would question, or even justify
the offense of 911. But let us be clear. Al Qaeeda killed nearly
3000 people on that day. The victims were innocent men, women,
and children from America and many other nations who had done nothing
to harm anybody. And yet Al Qaeeda chose to ruthlessly murder
these people, claimed credit for the attack, and even now states
their determination to kill on a massive scale. They have
affiliates in many countries, to try to expand their reach. These are
not opinions to be debated. These are facts to be dealt with.”
-- President Obama, Cairo Egypt, June 4th 2009
Few
comprehend that diabolically scripted play of obedience training for
complete conformance to authority in the new world order. In fact,
virtually all choose to just accept it as the new fact of life
without a second thought --- as expected, that from Act I, if you can
get the public mind to accept absurdities, you can get it to accept
any atrocity, including its own servitude,
and those born afterward will know nothing better. It is already well
understood by social engineers that none will even have the
inclination to put it all together after it has been in play a few
years as it would have become force of habit, sort of like Pavlovian
training. Taking shoes off at long security check-posts
automatically, without being asked, is evidence of the success of
this instance of training. So is the number of protests launched with
the TSA by the traveling public. The last
time I checked the statistics reported on TSA website, which was in
2010 or 2011 I believe, shockingly less than 0.5 percent of the
millions of people going through US airport body scanners or enduring
the physically intrusive pat-downs and body searches, had filed a
complaint.
The
easy acceptance of that vile absurdity is
an undeniable fact of engineered obedience
training, like all the rest of social engineering the world has
witnessed since 9/11. And it all began by simply accepting the
official narrative of 9/11 of threat from “militant Islam”
spun ubiquitously by the Mighty Wurlitzer and its assets. Just
like the HolocaustTM before it, this too has quickly
become a presuppositional axiom behind every public thought as well
as public policy, both domestic and international, in virtually every
nation on earth --- even including Iran and Russia which judiciously
refrain from calling the Big Lie for what it is in all their
opposition to the hegemony of the United States. I have never
understood this --- if they were real antagonists of the superpower,
this Big Lie is the singular Achilles' heel
of all liars for any nation to call a spade a spade and initiate its
effective take-down.
Its
absence worldwide only indicates that all international enmities
themselves are fabricated, controlled, synthetic, having freedoms
only in saber-rattling and orchestrated warfare following the
convoluted political theories of crisis creation which is pivotal in
social engineering for seeding transformation. The manufactured
crisis is real or remains mythological is immaterial
as both require that the public mind believe it to be real and posing
an imminent danger to its well-being. Its
success relies on two plus two making five to the public mind. And
all efforts are made in that direction. Therefore, two plus two
making four is suppressed, just as we see is transpiring in the
ubiquitous narrative control which is now global, across civilization
and national boundaries. It is the one thing which unites earth minds
today: the threat of 'al-Qaeda', once stateless, now rising in the
form of 'IS'. Thus creating more opportunities for “total war”
for Oceania.
As
George Orwell argued through the pen of Winston Smith in his famous
fable Nineteen eighty-four,
conveying through the mind of the beleaguered
protagonist an important and timeless axiom:
“Freedom
is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is
granted, all else follows.”
The
essays in this book are but a sensible glimpse into that twisted
modernity based on commonsensical observations and assiduous study of
current affairs as an unwilling participant being forced to live
these times day by day, forced to believe two plus two make five,
forced to accept absurdities for social acceptance, rather than as a
historian who may perhaps discover more accurate facts and linkages
in the future with the advantage of time, ex post facto, after the
fact, but who can never comprehend the atmosphere and the life
pressures which only participants feel and live.
Thus,
it is, in some sense, a forensic compilation of “contemporary
history” now in the making; probably a non sequitur for
seasoned historians for whom contemporary is not history and history
is not contemporary. As Carroll Quigley observed in his Preface to
Tragedy and Hope, a revealing book from which I quote at
length in some of my essays:
“sensible
historians usually refrain from writing accounts of very recent
events because they realize that the source material for such events,
especially the indispensable official documents, are not available
and that, even with the documentation which is available, it is very
difficult for anyone to obtain the necessary perspective on events of
one's own mature life.”
Seeing
past the hands that record the deeds of “history's actors”
Unfortunately,
the official history inherited by posterity is almost always written
by scribes of empire, and for cases of conflict and war, by the
victors and their Mighty Wurlitzer. This constitutes the
principal source material for subsequent generations of historians,
academics, intellectuals, and also propagandists, to
opportunistically play their own interpretations in self-interest and
self-promotion, as well as for the control of the public mind in the
guise of scholarship, religionism, nationalism, patriotism, psy-ops,
and anything else that makes for an appropriate “doctrinal
motivation” for each penmanship. This official narrative of
history, while enjoying the advantage of time and official documents,
has already sanitized away much of the grotesque reality, the often
hidden forces and covert motivations driving events over time and
space but cleverly masking the linkages among them from public view,
leaving its official narrators to win lofty accolades as their
scholarly contribution to human knowledge of what went on in the
past. Even if the records were accurate, or a Sherlock Holmes pieced
the puzzle together, absolutely nothing can be done to rectify any
matter once it is history. This reality of imperial power was most
ably captured by the White House senior advisor to president Bush
while speaking to the New York Times correspondent Ron Suskind in
2004:
'...“That's
not the way the world really works anymore,” he continued.
“We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own
reality. And while you're studying that reality -- judiciously, as
you will -- we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you
can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's
actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we
do.”...'
We
see that two principal invariants afflict history and its recording:
(1) it is already fait accompli and recognition of this invariance is
crucial in Machiavellian schemes of “imperial mobilization”
by “history's actors” as is boldly admitted by the White
House senior advisor in the passage quoted above for continually
creating “new realities” of the Global Fourth Reich
on the ground (see the Third Reich's equally honest version a few
paragraphs hence) ; (2) the whole truth of
the matter of all the motivational forces and hidden from view
sub-events that led to the recorded events of history are lost and
replaced with convenient narratives, or, as is sometimes the case,
get buried in mounds of competing narratives such that separating
chaff from wheat is a gross epistemological problem beholden to
biases, partisanship, and subjective interpretations. In other
worlds, there is a gross signal to noise ratio problem between what
is recorded by historians and what really happened. This is all but a
truism which is carefully ignored by history writers. We can see this
for the best of historians throughout the ages – they have
usually omitted to explain what they have omitted, including the
articulation of their presuppositions, their axioms, and their own
bent of mind which naturally colors their perception of what they do
record.
The
late Edward Said at Columbia University gave an excellent
illustration of this ingrained perception bias in his seminal study
titled: Orientalism. While that book details the biases of
Western hubris, no dominant civilization readily escapes such
incestuously self-reinforcing imperial
hubris: the promotion of its values and the belittling of all others.
It becomes as naturally ingrained as the love of mom and dad. The
bold admission of the reality of this superiority complex is just as
cold as the preceding chutzpah of “history's
actors”. Here is Thomas L. Friedman writing selective truth in
A Manifesto For a Fast World in the New York Times of March
28, 1999:
“As
I have noted before, globalization and economic integration will act,
to some degree, as a restraint on those states that are plugged into
the system and dependent upon the electronic herd. It's true that no
two countries that both have a McDonald's have ever fought a war
since they each got their McDonald's. (I call this the Golden Arches
Theory of Conflict Prevention.) But globalization does not end
geopolitics -- the enduring quest for power, the fear of neighbors,
the tug of history. What globalization does is simply put a different
frame around geopolitics, a frame that raises the costs of war but
cannot eliminate it.
That
is why sustainable globalization still requires a stable,
geopolitical power structure, which simply cannot be maintained
without the active involvement of the United States. All the
technologies that Silicon Valley is designing to carry digital
voices, videos and data around the world, all the trade and financial
integration it is promoting through its innovations and all the
wealth this is generating, are happening in a world stabilized by a
benign superpower, with its capital in Washington, D.C.
The
hidden hand of the market will never work without a hidden fist --
McDonald's cannot flourish without McDonnell Douglas, the builder of
the F-15. And the hidden fist that keeps the world safe for Silicon
Valley's technologies is called the United States Army, Air Force,
Navy and Marine Corps. ''Good ideas and technologies need a strong
power that promotes those ideas by example and protects those ideas
by winning on the battlefield,'' says the foreign policy
historian Robert Kagan. ''If a lesser power were promoting our
ideas and technologies, they would not have the global currency that
they have. And when a strong power, the Soviet Union, promoted its
bad ideas, they had a lot of currency for more than half a
century.''”
In
his deceptive ode to the superpower and its globalization process
being the peace-maker: “What globalization does is simply
put a different frame around geopolitics, a frame that raises the
costs of war but cannot eliminate it.”, Thomas Freidman of
course only admitted half of the whole truth. He did not bother to
mention the diabolical drive towards one-world government of the
oligarchy by way of that same globalization process which is
privatizing the world under the protection of the same “iron
fist” (as if it is a closely held
secret). Nor did he mention the use of that “iron fist”
of the “United States Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine
Corps.” for forcing a global transformation
towards one-world government by manufacturing global wars and global
crises as catalysts for that transformation.
How could the Jewish scholar tell the whole truth just yet... he is
part of the same shell game to make the public mind that the events
of history are mainly by happenstance and not orchestrated by the use
of the “iron fist” whose reach is global. The
system supports him in his omissions and no one respectable who is
published in the New York Times will dare call him on it – as
they are all in that con game together.
Which
is why narrators abound --- it is pretty safe to be a historian so
long as one does not plagiarize too much --- for they don't need to
get it objectively right at all unlike other builders of material
things. They can say and write pretty much anything which the powers
of the day openly favor, value, reward, or are not too averse to
being made public, often regurgitating what they read or believe from
the official sources anyway, which is itself often a regurgitation of
those who went before... in an incestuously
self-reinforcing myth-making for their own civilization. Historians
and scholars in the service of empire play a key role in social
engineering; defining the public ethos and reinforcing the desired
belief system for both their own time and for posterity. So, let's
put this to the test of empiricism to
adjudicate upon the veracity of all that has been stated.
For
instance, history writers across the world today are writing the
recent history of how Osama Bin Laden and al-Qaeda took down
America's landmark WTC towers in the heart of New York city with mere
box cutter knives!
What
is the epistemology of that entire absurd narrative which is now
being cast into written history that even school children come home
rehearsing, and must reproduce in answer to exam questions in order
to pass the exams? It has put the religion of Islam and Muslims into
a negative spotlight, demonizing and marginalizing a world religion
as inspiring evil and evil-doers. Just look at how many scholars,
intellectuals, poets, statesmen, newsmen, push that absurd narrative
on the public mind! The epistemology of 9/11 is in fact no different
than Hitler's narrative in yesteryear; his public lament of the
Polish terrorists attacking a German radio station in wanton
disregard of international law, known as the Gleiwitz incident,
which forced his hand to reluctantly launch the military invasion of
Poland to protect Germany from terrorists. Had Germany won World War
II, no historian in the world would have acknowledged that it was
actually a self-inflicted Operation Canned Goods. But the
victors of World War II today openly disclose the German
psychological warfare and terrorist operation to fabricate an
international pretext to invade Poland. The American war
correspondent in Berlin in 1939, William Shirer, on sensing the war
averse mood of the German public after its horrifying experience of
World War I which they still nursed, and upon which the years of
Nazification of Germany was in fact based, noted in his diary on the
eve of World War II and published his analysis of the “contemporary
history” he had witnessed in his seminal work The Rise and
Fall of the Third Reich in 1961:
“Hitler
knew the answer well. Had he not the week before on his Bavarian
mountaintop promised the generals that he would 'give a propagandist
reason for starting the war' and admonished them not to 'mind whether
it was plausible or not'? 'The victor', he had told them, 'will not
be asked afterward whether he told the truth or not. In starting and
waging a war it is not the right that matters, but victory.'”
That,
and precisely that, is the axiomatic but unstated reality of history
writing. It is the reality of power to control the narrative through
its official documents, and its mouthpieces, in every age, in every
era, in every civilization. Only another victor can offset it, and
only to the degree that suits its own hegemonic purpose. This sense
of pretense at fair-play by victors in their revealing the
unspeakable crimes of the vanquished with much fanfare when sitting
in judgment over them, is termed victor's justice. Indeed,
this hard reality is now almost an invariant of Machiavellian power,
of simply omitting to tell the truth in official narratives and
official documentation. When historians use this as their source
material, garbage-in composed of half-truths, propaganda lies, and
mythical narratives written specifically to pass on to posterity as
public history, pretty much begets garbage-out. No amount of
scientific method applied to the study of history can subsequently
extract the whole truth which was not included in the records to
begin with, or is made inaccessible under the official state secrets
act, or is marginalized when victims of that history put their
anguish to pen. That crucial lying by omission leads to a
self-selecting crippled epistemology for historians coming later in
time. Which is why history can be both bunk, and a forensic crime
waiting for Sherlock Holmes. It is rarely the whole truth.
But
for “contemporary history” not touched by “sensible
historians”, despite its closeness in time to rapidly breaking
and often terrifying events of international import, and therefore,
by necessity, “any such formulation inescapably contains a
germ of falsehood — and hence must be tentative — the
attempt represents an advance toward at least a partial
understanding” when something can surely be done to
interdict its fait accompli. That quote is from Zbigniew Brzezinski's
Between Two Ages, another revealing book which hammers away at
modernity arguing its villainy inescapable:
“Human
life is reduced to real suffering, to hell, only when two ages, two
cultures and religions overlap. . . . There are times when a whole
generation is caught in this way between two ages, two modes of life,
with the consequence that it loses all power to understand itself and
has no standard, no security, no simple acquiescence.”
I
obviously don't accept that latter formulation or I wouldn't be
laboring as I am. Contrary to Zbigniew Brzezinski's erudite prose
which underlies the many compositions of the Mighty Wurlitzer, as the
generation caught Between Two Ages on The Grand Chessboard,
we, the “untermensch” bearers of “Human
life”, have neither lost the power to “understand”,
nor lost the power to overturn the coercive “simple
acquiescence” to artificially induced transition period of
“real suffering”. That understanding, and
overturning, is the raison d'être for this book.
This
approach to modernity however, to examining it as “contemporary
history” so that something can be done before hard facts and
new realities are irreversibly established on the ground, is not my
unique discovery. It is shameful that for over 200 years, the rebel
and the savant alike, have been warning mankind of the curse of world
government clandestinely in the making. In our generation we are
precariously perched on its outer rim and rapidly closing in. In
fact, the figurehead EU Council President, Herman Van Rompuy, on
November 19, 2009 openly admitted in his first press conference in
Brussels after being appointed president, that finally, 2009 was “the
first year of Global Governance”. To me, from my plebeian
perch on Mt. Fuji, it looks like a done deal, unless more people of
sturdy mental constitution and moral fibre become aware of the
villainous machinations behind this modernity and feel less inclined
to 'United We Stand' with it. That is the purpose of this book.
A
Recommended Reading short-list is at the end for those inclined to
seek independent evidence of these machinations behind our modernity.
It is all in plain sight! Only its courageous reporters today, as in
the past, are calculatingly dismissed as “malcontent”,
“conspiracy theorist”, “kook”, “mad”,
“anti-Semite”, suffering from “emotional or
mental illness”, an “oppositional defiant
disorder” exhibiting a pattern of “negativistic,
defiant, disobedient and hostile behavior toward authority figures”
requiring psychiatric care and confinement in state hospitality
center. Failing that, of course a “terrorist”!
Why
so much verbiage for unpeeling “truth's protective layers”?
A
few thoughts on the extraordinary length of The Poor-Man's Guide to
Modernity is surely in order. Who has the time to read it all, never
mind struggle to understand it perceptively?
While
primacy as a predatory concept is itself rather straightforward, the
modus operandi to achieve it is not so simple. As the mere glimpse
into its machinations afforded here must already betray to the alert
of mind, it is most diabolical in its construction. It takes
commensurate due diligence and wherewithal for its accurate
deconstruction.
Brevity
may be the soul of wit, but as Aldous Huxley aptly captured it in his
1958 Foreword to Brave New World Revisited,
“[t]he
soul of wit may become the very body of untruth. However elegant and
memorable, brevity can never, in the nature of things, do justice to
all the facts of a complex situation.”
Undue
brevity especially cannot do justice to the complex facts and hidden
motivations which impel current affairs, political science and
history. These come wrapped in layers upon layers of deception by
both, the “history's actors” who orchestrate
“contemporary history” and protect its underlying reality
from public disclosure by every means at their disposal, and the
narrow self-interests of the narrators and ex post facto historians
who make a good living off of repeating what's been carefully left
behind for public consumption.
Whereas,
excessive brevity requires simplifications, which in turn
necessitates omissions. And omissions become the very soul of
distortion and half-truths instead of bringing forensic clarity in
this sea of Machiavellian lies, half-truths, mythologies, and
obfuscation.
To
ensure that simplistic and pat formulations of brevity do not mask
the uber sophisticated psychological, political, financial,
economic, scientific, and military methods with which modernity is
being Machiavellianly choreographed to extract freedom from the very
consciousness of the guileless herds of humanity, sufficient
elaboration is a necessity of the task at hand.
But
how much is too much?
Once
again, as Aldous Huxley examined the matter:
“But
life is short and information endless: nobody has time for
everything. In practice we are generally forced to choose between an
unduly brief exposition and no exposition at all. Abbreviation is a
necessary evil and the abbreviator's business is to make the best of
a job which, though intrinsically bad, is still better than nothing.
He must learn to simplify, but not to the point of falsification. He
must learn to concentrate upon the essentials of a situation, but
without ignoring too many of reality's qualifying side issues. In
this way he may be able to tell, not indeed the whole truth (for the
whole truth about almost any important subject is incompatible with
brevity), but considerably more than the dangerous quarter-truths and
half-truths which have always been the current coin of thought.”
Consequently,
the one accusation which continues to stand against Project
Humanbeingsfirst is its unwillingness to err on the side of too much
brevity, too much abbreviation, while continuing to bring as cogent
and as coherent an analysis with full substantiation of evidence in
as simple a form as is practical. In striving to tell the whole truth
to the best of its author's capacity about every matter it touches,
considerably more words than many individuals have time for have been
penned in its few short years and are available on its website. For
those challenged by time or inclination to imbibe such high potency
intellectual vitamins to their fullest absorption, which evidently is
upwards of 90% of the public in every nation calculatingly weaned on
15-second attention spans to ensure that they remain engaged between
bread and circuses only, a minimalist expansion has been
cherry-picked in The Poor-Man's Guide to Modernity - Oligarchic
Primacy for World Government.
It
is hoped that this compendium unraveling the full spectrum mind-fck,
ahem, perception management, of the public mind, will tickle
the reader's angst sufficiently to want to pursue some due diligence
of her own. Empiricism betrays however, that even whole encyclopedic
knowledge and exposure to the world does not automatically lead to a
change in behavior or mind-set. Only the courage of one's convictions
does. You can read books all day long, listen to endless hours of
inspiring talks and lectures on the internet with rapt attention,
seek wise counsel from your chieftains and pontiffs, travel the world
from continent to continent, and it may not change your behavior one
bit. However, the tickling of self-preservation fears will almost
always instinctually lead to an immediate change in behavior! Unless
of course one is too invested in enjoying one's own servitude.
Co-option is a pattern of human behavior anytime self-interest is
tickled. As is harboring socialized beliefs and values. Tickling
public self-interest and seeding perspective distortion by implanting
and harvesting false beliefs in society are the first tools of
Machiavelli.
As
difficult as giving up unwarranted beliefs may be, I hope that the
gestalt shift in perspective which The Poor-Man's Guide
to Modernity will surely induce in the more alert of mind,
body and spirit, will help them perceive the world from the predatory
eyes of the tom cat pictured in the book's opening pages. Nothing
ever alters the tom cat's primacy instincts just because its prey
refuse to recognize it.
The
predator is always waiting, watching, scheming, conniving.... before
pouncing – the inveterate “hectoring hegemon”!
Others
have explored this topic of primacy as well. The unusual book (for
which its author states that Zbigniew Brzezinski tried to suppress
its publication) explores the beguiling behavior of this sociopathic
predator of modernity: Political Ponerology: A Science on The
Nature of Evil adjusted for Political Purposes by Andrew M.
Lobaczewski ( http://ponerology.com
). It predates Martha Stout's study: The Sociopath Next Door
which also documents the empirical observation that the smartest
sociopaths today don't come with horns advertised on their head. They
don't all look like Charles Mansion for instance. They appear rather
normal, are often even very charming, driven. But they show as much
moral compunction in achieving their objectives as the conniving fox,
and often tend to rise to lead their domain as its authority figures.
We see them proliferate from corporate CEOs to political leadership.
They are sort of like the lovely girl next door who is looking
for a rich husband and will stop at nothing. The foolish prey however
get to see what she is really like only after they become her meal
ticket. The perniciousness of these super-intelligent predators who
remain beyond good and evil (unless victor's justice
catches up to them) is examined in these two studies. What these
sociological books do not betray however is the role of the oligarchy
behind the scenes in controlling and manipulating these public
front-men to serve their own private global interests. This lapse was
fortuitously rectified by the front-man for the banking oligarchy
himself, Col. Edward Mandell House, in his fictionalization of a
political reality in which he actually stage-managed the White House
and its occupant, President Woodrow Wilson,
titled: Philip Dru: Administrator, A Story of Tomorrow 1920-1935.
The Public Relations for which was
stage-managed by psychologist Edward Bernays, brilliantly leading to
awarding their prized patsy president who had so easily: (1) overseen
and signed into creation the financial oligarchy's singular Trojan
Horse into the United States,
its Federal Reserve System; (2) signed the oligarchy's favorite
security bond, the levying of income tax upon the American public;
(3) and taken the isolationist industrial powerhouse into World War I
resulting in the deaths of millions but secured by all that public
debt to the bankers; the Nobel Peace prize! Additional material is
listed in Recommended Reading.
The
Poor-Man's Guide to Modernity endeavors to seek a coherent whole
that is greater than the sum of its parts from what is typically only
available to the most diligent researchers in libraries, and only if
they can bring to bear the perspective of primacy to their own
understanding of the empiricism of modernity. Few are able, or
willing, to do that analysis-synthesis for their own comprehension,
let alone for the public's education. Indeed, the finest
intellectuals appear to be just as beholden to the favors the system
bestows upon them for playing ball, whether manufacturing consent or
manufacturing dissent (the latter the most diabolical of the lot and
therefore given significant space in this
book), as the common man is beholden to his mind lock between bread
and circuses.
In
what is continually made to appear to the public mind as the chaotic
and revolutionary times of today, the sociopathic predator operates
with the most devilishly cunning Hegelian Dialectics to run circles
around the prey, alternately shocking and exhausting it into
accepting what's planned for it. The wily predator cornering its prey
with full spectrum control of the victim's five senses, its
appetites, carnal desires, has shrewdly anticipated all the typical
behavior patterns displayed by the victims in a large population
sample, and is thus easily able to preempt entire societies and
civilizations:
“There
will be no day of days then when a new world order comes into being.
Step by step and here and there it will arrive, and even as it comes
into being it will develop fresh perspectives, discover unsuspected
problems and go on to new adventures. No man, no group of men, will
ever be singled out as its father or founder. For its maker will be
not this man nor that man nor any man but Man, that being who is in
some measure in every one of us. World order will be, like science,
like most inventions, a social product, an innumerable number of
personalities will have lived fine lives, pouring their best into the
collective achievement. ...
Nor
does it alter the fact that even when the struggle seems to be
drifting definitely towards a world social democracy, there may still
be very great delays and disappointments before it becomes an
efficient and beneficent world system.
Countless
people, from maharajas to millionaires and from pukkha sahibs to
pretty ladies, will hate the new world order, be rendered unhappy by
the frustration of their passions and ambitions through its advent
and will die protesting against it.
When
we attempt to estimate its promise we have to bear in mind the
distress of a generation or so of malcontents, many of them quite
gallant and graceful-looking people.” -- H. G. Wells, New World
Order, 1940, Chapter 12
The
only escape from its Orwellian death-jaws that entice its
gullible prey with the Newspeak of a “beneficent world
system”, is for the victims to collectively, in large numbers,
change their own typical behavior pattern from what's already been
anticipated – indifference and loving their own servitude as
per the Fable of the Bees – BEFORE world government is a
fait accompli.
Only
full spectrum alliances can create the full spectrum deterrence
necessary to offset the forces driving for the full spectrum
dominance of the planet. Pretty soon there will not be any generation
caught between two ages left to form those alliances. All will be
born in the new age. None will experience any real discontent if the
oligarchy succeeds in getting the obedient and managed one-world it
wants.
Today,
an effective self-defence can only be launched at national and
international levels, not individual level, with brave nations
unwilling to accept the primacy of the internationalist sociopaths
riding the superpower du jour, collaboratively breaking through the
stifling web of international controls and coordinating their global
resistance under uncompromising strong leadership to survive the
Grand Chessboard.
I
don't see that most obvious self-defense transpiring even in 2015. In
fact, I don't even see the once sovereign nations speak of the real
enemy besieging their nations with manufactured “revolutionary
times”. They uniformly echo the dominant narratives in few
variations. This state of affairs can only mean:
(1)
national and international level leaders, politicians, scholars and
opinion-makers, are already in on the world government game in most
nations that are of any strategic or tactical significance, i.e.,
they are knowingly and wittingly working against their own peoples
for the narrow interests of the oligarchy ;
(2)
patriotic fools and useful idiots who haven't got a clue have been
planted to rule the public mind and the absence of any real
resistance speaks to the veracity of this conclusion.
If
The Poor-Man's Guide to Modernity lends a clue to at least
those who are well-intentioned but egregiously misled into driving in
the wrong lane with blinders on, it would have served some purpose.
Its full purpose however would only be served when commensurate acts
of courage are undertaken in national and international self-defence
to match the crisper and perceptive understanding of the motivations
actually driving modernity to dystopia.
Thank
you for daring to read further. All that which follows in The
Poor-Man's Guide to Modernity is just more and more details of
every aspect sketched out in the preceding handful of words. If only
there existed in my time even a tiny handful of political and
intellectual leaders of courage to really take on the first-cause
forces driving modernity to dystopia. Just one would have been a
sufficient majority!
