The Coming Slave Religion, Part 4...Revealed At Last!!

Last time, we discussed the very controversial topic of the Jews, and the role they may be playing as we march toward a New World Order. As it turned out, they may not be behind every bad turn humanity seems to be making after all. In fact, it seems more likely that they too are being “used” by our hidden masters, to help usher in the NWO, just as other various groups have been used. Our conclusion was that their unique traits as a people, possessing a strong identity, left them well-suited for more than just a bit-part in the whole affair.

And so after taking this long tour, exploring religion from the point of view of those in power, we can draw some preliminary conclusions:

First, religion is useful for the effective control and management of people, due to the principle that self-control, will always be more efficient than any external means of control, such as police.

Second, it is reasonable to assume that those in power have long ago recognized the fact that religion is so important for their ends.

Third, to achieve their goal to expand their power with the assistance of religion, they might easily create religions and organizations, clubs and lodges, that they deemed useful for their ends. They could also infiltrate and subvert existing religions / organizations, to bring them under their influence, and eventual control.

Fourth, nations / peoples would also be subverted, harnessed and controlled. The key idea here, if a people should possess an identity, that identity would tend toward cohesiveness, which would mean that the entire group could potentially be mobilized, if necessary. The stronger the identity, the more potent the tool, and thus the Jews were logically “chosen” to play a central role in bringing in the NWO, since those in power would be unable to resist harnessing such a useful force, as they pursued their goals.

But these subversions were not occurring in a vacuum. Everywhere, through every channel, people would be recruited to the cause, most unwittingly, as various banners went up, and people naturally followed. Socialism, Communism, Naturalism…”ism” after ism could effectively divide the masses (so later they could more easily be conquered). Religious revivals and denominational divisions, new cults, new evangelism, and even the deployment of technology to put emphasis to that which best furthered the over all agenda, all this was coming into play. Perhaps those in power did not write the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, but they could have. As mentioned in the Protocols, through the professions, science, academia, politics and of course, churches, synagogues and lodges, all would proceed according to plan, which would eventually deliver a powerful hegemony to the Chosen. Or, were they only patsies, playing their role?

It’s time to take another step back, to better appreciate the immense power that is apparently unfolding before us, as we consider those in power, who have for centuries (some say millennia), worked to consolidate and perpetuate their power. If you have been persuaded that there are indeed very powerful people, multi-generational families, nobility and royalty, that have the wealth, power and desire to extend and maximize their power, then it may be easier to accept that they have already achieved a high level of success. In other words, the world we see today is in fact a “product” of those aggressive pursuits of power, and the landscape we look out on to, was made by them, and for them.

This includes most especially that which you believe. They have enjoyed the power to create, and subvert religions for many generations. They also have the power to virtually rewrite history, as it suits them. They harness whole nations, pit one against another, control finance, and therefore economies. They appoint judges, they have Presidents elected, and make sure that their media organs comply, all to weave a web, or perhaps better put, to fashion the chain, forged to enslave your mind.

All this has already come to pass, and yet, the plan is not yet complete. Remember, the only thing you would want as the wealthiest person in the world, would be more power. Such an insatiable dynamic has governed the evolution of society, and is behind all of history, even if they should shroud it’s truer versions.

With all this in mind, imagine now if you will the “perfect” religion for those who would serve you. They would dogmatically embrace, all that you have dictated. They would not just obey you, they would imagine that they were in obedience to the highest entity imaginable! They would, in their enslaved minds, obey God, and yet, you would know that it was you to whom in fact that they gave obedience, since it was you who had given them that which to believe. Perhaps you are a cruel master, but no worries, the slaves will not revolt! They truly believe that they must obey, this is their lot in life. And perhaps afterwards, they can imagine a “heaven” where they might finally “rest”, but for now, they must SERVE! Doesn’t this sound at least a bit familiar already?

Time to rejoice! This wonderful slave religion is already here, hallelujah! No, rather Baha’u’llah! It is called the Baha’i Faith, and while relatively “new”, it goes back only 150 years, it seems uniquely suited for the world’s slave population. It conveniently embraces ALL the main religions of the world, and claims to be where each of the old religions always pointed to. A universal and incredibly inclusive monotheistic religion that is based primarily on Islam, Baha’i also reaches out powerfully to Christians, and even Jews. Almost unbelievably, followers of Krishna and Buddhists also have a special place within Baha’i! No wonder it is the “religion of the United Nations,” but more on that later.

This religion, far ahead of it’s time, is completely tolerant of all. Since they don’t believe in Satan, or evil in the usual sense, they also seem to have no fear whatsoever of concentrating all power into one world government. They also advocate one-world language. Total equality of women worldwide (still an issue within Islam of course). One-world court. One universal calendar. They hold inter-racial marriage as a high ideal! They were pushing for a League of Nations as far back as 1875. And on and on.

You would be hard put to formulate a more syncretistic religion if you tried. It is as if someone thought about exactly that. The question may have been, “What kind of religion could we envision for all mankind, while taking into consideration the enormous differences that presently exist?” Answer: Baha’i. “What kind of religious faith could result in the eventual eradication, through mixing, of all races?” Answer: Baha’i. “What sort of universal quasi-religious concepts could possibly advocate one-world government? Answer: Baha’i. And again, on and on.

In order to create such a religion, one would have to accept the reality of a long-term plan. Perhaps the questions imagined above were asked at some point, but consider that it may have already been centuries ago. In preparation, some key pieces would have to be “pre-positioned”, so that at the appropriate time, all could fall into place.

Enter the United States of America. Yes, even the founding of a nation would have something to do with the “religious” part of the plan. The significance of America is that she is the world’s present “universal” nation. Not since Rome, and perhaps before that, since the ancient Atlantis of myth, has there been a nation on Earth that could lay claim to some semblance of universality. True, England accomplished an Empire where the sun would never set, but they could never quite qualify as a universal center, due to their history. On the other hand, that old English power could be seen to continue to this day, through America, but now adequately sanitized of it’s ugly past. And so a proto-type “universal nation” was created, that would one day play a central role in “universalizing” the entire world, into one body.

Within this young USA, not long after it’s founding, a young Joseph Smith made some incredible revelations. He said that he had found Golden Tablets, met with God / Jesus and / or the Angel “Moroni”, and then took dictation for what would become the famous Book of Mormon. Interestingly, Mormons “coincidentally” utilize much Masonic symbolism, but then again, many believe that the Prophet Smith was a Mason. Also, here was a recent example of a “Christian” church, that advocated plural marriage! Can we think of another major world denomination that has a Prophet, and also advocates plural marriage? Yes, Islam. Mormonism, seen from this perspective, is a kind of “Christian Islam”. My goodness, if we could just get yet another “Big Tent” religion to enter the scene, perhaps something interesting might still happen!

And now, back to Baha’i. Back in 1912, the leader of Baha’i actually came to America, and toured, making speeches, and making “prophesies”, etc. In one famous prophesy, he said “Armageddon” would begin in two years! Two years later, the First World War, which today is interpreted accordingly. But he also preached about the coming one-world government, and for some odd reason, made a special stop at…Salt Lake City!

His name was Abdu’l-Baha, son of Baha’u’llah, and he headed straight for the Mormon Temple! There, it is said that he “knocked” (on the East door), but it was not opened to him. Perhaps of no importance you may be thinking? On the contrary, the stage was now set!

Until next time…

The Coming Slave Religion, Part 3...But, What About...The Jews??

Few topics could be more controversial these days, but if we're going to discuss religion, we would be remiss in our duty if we ignored Jews and Judaism.  While this group is relatively small compared to others, their importance is magnified for several reasons.  First, theirs is the first "Abrahamic" religion, and obviously the two that followed, Christianity and Islam, are huge today.  Second, it is generally accepted that Jews, despite their smaller numbers, exert a disproportionate amount of power and influence in the world.  Third, Jews possess an “identity”, regardless of the religion they practice, or fail to practice. They do in-fact feel as if they are a “nation”, even if they live in hundreds of countries around the globe, meaning that they continue to have a loyalty to their own, no matter where they live. Therefore, their collective "role" if you will, should be examined carefully, especially as it pertains to our thesis, which involves a coming "slave-religion".

For centuries, Jews have been almost "universally" vilified, and most especially in Europe, where their numbers were greatest.  This being the case, it isn't hard to imagine that many Jews were in fact "victimized" by what had become a "cultural thing" in Europe.  Europe was mostly Christian of course, so in a way it was perfectly "natural" to treat Jews, Muslims, Gypsies, etc., as outsiders.  Even if some of these people "converted", they remained under suspicion, with the perfect example being furnished by the "Conversos" of Spain 500 years ago.  As the Spanish conquered the Iberian peninsula, Moors were driven further south, and Jews who chose to remain, were put in the difficult position of choosing either "demotion" to second-class subjects, or to "convert", and continue to enjoy the privileges that they had become accustomed to under the Moors, who had considerably softened by the Fourteenth Century.  As we know, many apparently chose to "convert".  While some conversions were perhaps genuine, it is generally held that most of these conversions were not true at all.  They were done for convenience, based on the situation, and so what evolved were formerly "Jewish" families, who now had a Christian exterior, but secretly maintained their Jewish tradition and identity.

So far, the above may not be terribly controversial, although no doubt there are those who are biting their tongues, thinking that the interpretation holds the Jews in a positive light that they haven't earned.  This could be because one way of regarding the history of the Jews is to assert that they "deserved" much of the ill treatment they received, due to their "disloyalty", usurious money-lending, suspected crimes performed in secret, etc.  Either way, it seems fair to say that, for whatever reasons, Jews have passed through an interesting history that I would guess explains much of what we see in Jews today.

And what might that be?  For starters, there is the instability in the Middle East, ever since Zionists found themselves competing with the Palestinians for the land that would become the nation of Israel.  No, this isn't saying the Jews are responsible for the instability of themselves, but it is curious that wherever they find themselves, it could even be said that "when" ever they find themselves, there is a clash, and there is no better way to say it, but it seems that everyone ends up "hating" the Jews.  Of course, this is hardly a "politically correct" thing to utter, but it's damn close to the truth, and many Jews over the past century especially, have written extensively about exactly this.  While you may not "hate" Jews, most perhaps do feel "hated", unwelcome, not trusted, treated as outsiders (in spite of smiles and handshakes, etc.)  Add to this the more recent unpleasant Nazi era history, and it's easy to see why Israel appears so "harsh" to the rest of the world.  In other words, Jews in general, seem to really believe that they have been unfairly "persecuted", and it's possible that many of their collective actions are at least partially explained by this shared viewpoint.

This situation suggests a rather unhealthy dynamic of course, not that different than that of many other racial groups that feel persecuted, or interpret their particular histories with continuing bitterness toward the historical oppressor.  Black people in America may easily "relate", as they look back at not just the slavery of their ancestors, but even very recent institutionalized discrimination, especially in the South.  It could be said that this shared history "colors" their outlook.  Are you a white man, who has a black employee?  You aren't just the boss, but you're "The Man"!  And even if you both get along just fine, even if you both enjoy true friendship, there is a "something" there in between, and there's little you can do about it.

And so, the Jewish "subculture" if you wish, certainly contains unhealthy elements due to their perceived history, and explains behavior in the same way as it does when considering any other racial group.  But here's the big difference:  As mentioned in the first paragraph of this post, Jews seem to exert far more power than their small numbers would lead one to believe at first glance.  No, this isn't just a faulty perception.  If you have read any articles intended for Jewish readership, perhaps in a Jewish periodical, or on a Jewish website, one thing you come away with is their laudable sense of pride in their accomplishments.  No, this isn't a bad thing at all, anymore than it is wrong for black people to take pride in having Barack Obama as president.  But it shouldn't be too controversial to state that Jewish wealth and power, compared to other peoples, gives them an edge when it comes to important decisions in politics, medicine, law, and yes, even religion!  In every area you can find a strong Jewish representation.  Probably the best example is Jewish influence in the media.  It would be no exaggeration to say that they "own" much of the media we turn to when we want news and entertainment.  Further, this isn't something denied necessarily by Jews, who may justifiably take pride in the fact that their people are making such giant strides.  But arguments are still going to arise when interpreting what this means for the rest of us.  Because with such power should come responsibility, and yet, if there is one certainty, power corrupts...

By now, some may have decided that we are surely leading up to "antisemitism", even though we have managed to pretend for a while.  But that's not where we're going, unless you choose to "color" it so.  Instead of trying to figure out how the Jews are manipulating things, or leveraging their obvious power, we need to take a hard look at how the Jews might themselves be "used"!  No, this isn't what "either side" normally would prefer to consider, but I believe it's relevant to the world's situation today, so at the risk of irritating pretty much everyone, I'm going to tackle it.

Jews today find themselves in positions of power more than at any other time in history, worldwide.  Sure, we have a "black" president in the US, but his cabinet has incredibly strong Jewish representation.  And so did "W"'s cabinet, and as far as Clinton's, well it's almost legendary.  It could be fairly said that "most" top government positions are occupied by Jews.  A recent Supreme Court nominee?  Jewish.  Name the most powerful lobby in the US?  Is their job to secure continued funding for Israel?  And on and on.  Is it any wonder the Arab world considers the US and Israel as virtually the same entity?  Recognizing these things should not be considered anything more than calling a spade a spade.  It is our present reality.  And this situation does not just exist in government, but in other important fields, such as medicine and law, Jews have seemingly gained remarkable ascendancy, for what ever reasons.  In short, we must consider the fact that Jews literally "dominate" the US, in the most important ways.  When you consider the fact that this is also much the case in other nations as well, it isn't hard to see why some "conspiracy" theorists cast serious suspicion on Jews, and boldly wonder what they might be up to.

After all this, I would suggest that it's still quite possible that worldwide Jewish leadership, as obvious as it is, is anything but obviously nefarious.  As many Jews might point out, their "rule", if you would characterize it that way,  is benign.  They are good doctors.  Good lawyers.  True, many are on the more "liberal" end of the political spectrum, but by and large, they have championed the rights of the downtrodden, etc.  And besides, if there was a "Jewish Conspiracy", how on Earth could such a thing really work?  Are they giving out orders in the synagogue?  Do they all belong to secret organizations, and communicate with secret signs?  You see, when you think it through, such a thing begins to collapse.

BUT, when considering the possibility that the Jews, as a cohesive subcultural group, could be "used" in some way, here we should not be too quick to dismiss the possibility.  Because to do such a thing would NOT necessarily require a widespread "conspiracy".  The "manipulation" of the Jews could be accomplished by simply harnessing their unique traits (good or bad), or perhaps more believable, we might ask, could the Jews, as a cohesive people, be effectively "guided", if such a thing suited those "really" in power?

I think that the reasonable person would answer YES.  Just as various minority groups throughout the world have been "manipulated", so it could be with the Jews.  Were the blacks involved in civil rights protests "guided" back in the 1960's?  The evidence shows they were, more than some would like to believe.  Who was always the head of the NAACP (until relatively recently)?  No, not Martin Luther King, Jr., but Jews.  No, this shouldn't be regarded as a kind of vilification of Jews at all.  Perhaps many honestly believe this was yet another manifestation of Jewish civic responsibility.  (In fact, it is part of the Jewish identity to regard themselves as something of a "gift" to mankind.)  Right or wrong, it was correctly determined that it was the "right time", and that black anger could be a useful catalyst for change.  This is history, and it is rather recent too.

Now let us imagine that we are that fanciful "Prince" from earlier posts, yes, of Machiavellian flavor.  You believe your destiny is to rule, and you have considered the strengths, and weaknesses of the Jewish people.  After all, the more you think of it, it seems that they are uniquely suited to help further your goals.  How so?  They have this admirable loyalty to their own, and you have observed that if one is being attacked, the others quickly close ranks, and protect.  In fact, even if certain Jews have expressed contrary views (as an example, perhaps they are anti-Zionist), when another Jew is being attacked, they seem to be able to put many of their own differences aside.  In short, the old saying comes to mind:  Blood is thicker than water.  And you approve, because such a beautiful idea is nowhere better expressed than in your own family lineage, where only your noble Blood is sacred.

You look to their weaknesses.  You notice how convenient it is, the world already hates them!  Nice.  You wonder how best to use these people.  In fact, the more you think of it, the more you resolve to bring the matter to the King's attention (your father).  You explain the matter to him, and you can see he likes your idea, most certainly he approves, he is nodding his head as he always does when such is the case.  But when you finish, you see the huge smile breaking out on his face, and it is too reminiscent of the one you remembered on your grandfather's face, years ago, when you had first observed how useful it would be to create a religion.  "My boy!  Walk with me..."  Your father, the august and mighty King of the realm, now shares with you the news that your incredible family has already "been there, done that"!  "And the Nazi's father?"  "How could it be otherwise?!"  Once again, while you are surprised, you're really not.  You feel that old sense of pride welling up.  "Truly, we are born to rule!"

I would submit that such a scenario has likely taken place, in some way, already, and perhaps longer-ago than we dare imagine.  You might learn one day about the "Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion", and see in them (now over a century old), some very provocative and prescient "directions", ostensibly for the Jewish people at the time, which seem to have "come true".  No, I would not care to automatically characterize the infamous Protocols as just another Jewish slander, but Jews should take another look at them, and instead of taking the knee-jerk route, look again.  Forgery?  Probably.  But regardless of "who" wrote them, Jews should consider the possibility that they are in fact a bit of "evidence" that they "might" be victims, yet again, but in a way that might make "Nazi" sound nice.  Because if they are being manipulated somehow, it could explain a whole lot.  Further, we should ask that if this is the case today, how can the Jews get off the train at all?  Even those few who recognize the extent to which they are apparently being used are treated quite badly by their own.  It reminds one of the black subculture, where perhaps a smart young man decides he would like to study math, or go to college, etc., and from his own people he will be slammed as an "Oreo", a wanna-be white, etc.  When do they stop to consider how such an attitude (regarding learning as "white") is exactly the kind of thing that is their "real" problem!  And if the white man really was their enemy, you could even go further, and imagine that terribly retrogressive idea being intentionally "planted", a long time ago on the plantation.

Yes, such notions are a "stretch" for today's media-immersed chaser of bread and circuses, but the general notion at least needs to be considered.  Why?  Because the whole point is that segments of the human race are being used to further an agenda that may indeed one day lead to the total enslavement of mankind!  It's that "Big". Again, in a nutshell:  The mere fact that a people (any people) possess "identity", is the very reason they can / are being used by the powers-that-be (and yes, some of these hidden masters may indeed be Jewish as well!).  Please stop your knee from jerking, and consider this: Hitler used the Germans. Is it so hard to imagine that Jews were the first to see the “power” in their own people, and therefore the first to exploit such a power? No, this doesn’t mean that Jews are behind it all, but they seemingly have a large piece of the pie. The world is indeed a play, and we all merely players, but I would submit that the role of the Jews is hardly a bit-part in the Play.

Next time, we'll get back to the perfect Slave Religion, because it's coming...

What "They" Want: To Control Everything, Including You!

You can always tell when someone is a conspiracy nut, because they love to use the term "they" when identifying whoever is responsible for the various bad things "they" are up to. Ask them who "they" are, and you won't always even get much of an answer, but to be fair, most do have some vague notion of who "they" are, and if they're conspiracy nuts, they'll be happy to let you know.

Could be they're convinced it's the new (or former) president, the one they didn't vote for, and the stupid/terrible people behind him. Or maybe it's just the government. Don't ask "which one", because it's a dumb question! Surely you KNOW they're not talking about the government of Alaska! Maybe they've been around the pike a few times, and have come to believe in shadowy forces BEHIND the government. You know, the Masons. Or the Jews. Or the super-wealthy. Or maybe even the British Royal Family!

And why stop there! If you're really "in the know", you're going to have to eventually lay the woes of the world at the doorstep of the Vatican. Yes, now there's an obvious choice. But we can't stop there, can we? Because if you're one of the very few, perhaps you've been let in on the Big Secret, that it's actually the Black Pope (not that German guy dressed in White, he's just window dressing!). Of course! It all makes sense now! Black people just pretend to be oppressed, when in fact they're secretly in charge! Oh how simple it all is, when you are in-the-know. Is it any surprise Obama is now called Mr. President? Duh!

But we're not done yet, because that guy in charge of all those Chester-the-Molester priests (called the "Jesuits"), well it's HE who must be the one who's really pulling all the strings! Oh yes, and haven't you heard? The "Black Pope" is really an old white dude, who takes his orders direct from Satan himself!!

Hey, and we haven't even mentioned 9/11 yet. But come on now, can so many people be wrong? One or more of the above conspiracy theories would have to be at least "partly" true, wouldn't you think? OK, so let's go with it a little, and see where it takes us.

How about the idea that "the Jews" are really behind it all. It's not just a popular idea, it's a rather traditional one too, been around for a while. On the one hand, you might actually know a Jew, or be one yourself, and right there decide it's not going to work for you. But on the other hand, it does seem like Jews run Hollywood, right? And aren't there a whole lot of 'em in top government spots too? And a ton of them are filthy rich! Plus, how else could Israel have ever come to be, unless they had a whole heck-of-a-lot of power? You know, we might have something here...

Or what about the Catholic Church. They've been around quite a while, seems like they might be a good choice. And come to think of it, weren't they always pushing around the Jews? You know, if they weren't burning their books, or worse, burning their children, right?, they were obviously behind getting them kicked out of country after country, right? So, in this case, it seems possible that "catholic" trumps "jew". Sheesh, it's not that hard, it's just logic my friends!

But wait! A howl of protest has erupted from the Catholics, who know their history better than that. No one ever burned children for crying out loud! And speaking of getting kicked around, wasn't it to Rome that many Jews went, to get satisfaction from the Pope, who felt so sorry for them that they were even given their own ghetto, complete with papal protection? And pahleeze do not forget Pope Pius XII (the pope in WW2), who actually HID Jews within the Vatican! And shall we forget John Paul II? Heck, lots of people said he had a Jewish grandmother!

OK, OK. Fine. Maybe no one is "guilty" for the mess we might just as well call, "The Way It Is". After all, why not have a "nice" conspiracy theory that doesn't pick on anyone, or at any rate, takes the blame to the very tip-top, and lays it on the desk where Bucks Do Not Pass? Maybe we can all just agree that God, or Whoever is ultimately in charge, just set the whole lousy game up this way, for his own good reasons. "It's just the way it is."

OR, what if "they" would just love it if you chose any one of the above!? Finally, we might be approaching the "truth" of the matter! No, let us not too hastily reject the notion of conspiracies, they're a FACT of life, even if you haven't figured out which one is best just yet. How could there not be conspiracies, when in every family there might be quite a few? Oh come on now, haven't you thought about it that way before? "Don't worry honey, we won't tell Mom (Dad) about it. It will be our little secret!" "Yes dear, Uncle Chucky shouldn't have done that, but do NOT worry your father with any of this! Uncle Chucky won't do it again, I promise. Now, let's go get that ice cream cone!" "Daddy's girl, right? Don't tell Mommy, she might get jealous!"

No, you're not a "nut" if you suspect that such very human behavior, is entirely scalable. 9/11, JFK, Pearl Harbor...We might hear them laughing in the private chambers, "Just let enough time go by..."

Objection! "You simply cannot hide anything as large as 9/11. I refuse to believe that our great nation had anything to do with this crime. Why is it so hard to believe that Arabs (who hate our freedoms!) would do this?!"

No, this is not a piece about 9/11. Carry on, believe what thou wilt. But the point should be clear that conspiracies first of all are as real as can be. And second, they can be far bigger than merely hiding the family molester from common knowledge. Of course, allowing molestation to go on for generations is hardly small, but that's another story. Real conspiracies, large and small, are part of the human experience. By the way, if you find yourself still in the knee-jerk mode, rejecting this notion, then it's time to quit reading. Stop, go back to your television for further instructions, and try to forget you ever considered anything that might be unpatriotic, or politically incorrect. In fact, shame on you for still reading this!

As for the rest of us, it might be important to take a small step back at this point, and consider the enormous hostility, the fear perhaps, or the lack of seriousness, and even our own "knee-jerk" response when confronted with this pesky word "conspiracy". Can we acknowledge that we may actually suffer some level of "programming" here, societal or otherwise? If so, from whence could it have originated? Considering that conspiracies are logically the norm, that indeed they must exist, that they are in fact the most likely explanation for many things around us, then shouldn't we wonder why we have seemingly developed a blind-eye to this sort of thing? How did such a thing happen? Has it always been this way?

To answer that, just head back up to the beginning of this piece. Let's have our fun. Let's snicker at the silly conspiracy theorist! That's mostly how, and it seems to work, especially if the media cooperates (for whatever reasons). The better question is "Why?" Here we're dealing with something ingrained now in our culture. Considerable effort must have gone into establishing this generalized attitude, today accepted by the majority. And certainly Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, they were not shy about the nefarious forces afoot even in their day, and wrote about them, so at least back then, things weren't quite as they are now in this department. Yes, it is likely decades in the making, but perhaps even centuries...

First of all, stop your knee from jerking. Centuries? Folks, this business is serious, might I even say, "dead" serious, especially after so many years of mounting human casualties. But centuries? In fact it has now been FIVE centuries since Machiavelli penned his famous work The Prince. In his masterpiece of worldly advice (as given to The Prince of the title), the person who seriously seeks greater power need only follow the book's diabolical prescriptions to achieve their greatest ambitions. Without spelling it all out, the book recommends the use of extreme dissimulation to achieve it's ends, and yet it also insists on keeping the subjects happy with the notion that they enjoy a benign ruler. Of course, their ruler is hardly benign in reality. In fact, he best operates without true mercy (only pretended is allowable), in secret, and amongst carefully prepared lies for public consumption, that all help him to achieve his goals.

Does this still sound a bit too crazy? Well, look it up, it's actually considered Political Science. In fact, we would be foolish to imagine that at this late date, such a "craft" is not only alive and well, but it should in fact be the rule, and this of itself, explains a whole lot. We do live within a "matrix" if you will, and it has been carefully prepared by those who have a plan (for us). No, you shall not be privileged enough to get a peek at the various plays in their play book. No, you can't even really know who "they" are! Or can you? Perhaps we'll take that up the next time.
