Part 1. First Know Your Enemy
How to Avoid the LOOMING CATASTROPHE Part 1
FIRST KNOW YOUR ENEMY
`One of the great secrets of the day is to know how to take possession of popular prejudices and passions in such a way as to introduce a confusion of principles which makes impossible all understanding between those who speak the same language and have the same interests.'
N. Machiavelli (1469 - 1527)
Welcome! If we are to avoid the looming catastrophe there is much to do and little time to do it.
The findings revealed in this book are the result of private research which has aimed to relate reliable published information in such a manner as to properly explain current events. And, having done that, to honestly accept what the consequences of those events may be.
Being probably the first in-depth writing available to the public on the subject of the methods and aims of what will here be called a pagan Secret Empire (in later writing the 'Super mafia'), it has to be privately funded and has no political, financial or religious responsibility other than make the truth public.
To avoid the looming catastrophe we first of all need to know our enemy. Hopefully we may be able to take advantage of the last remains of our freedom to tell it as it is.
The fight against the corruption and subversion of our culture has, so far, been futile. To start winning we have to gain a new understanding of what we are fighting. This document is an introduction to social knowledge that is being hidden from our view. As the first pieces of the puzzle come together they may seem confusing, but as we put the pieces in place the picture becomes clear.
Our culture has grave ills and everyone pulling in different directions is no cure. Most honest people give a certain trust to leaders, educators, etc., and find it very difficult to accept that political parties and authorities may unite against us.
Betrayal is indeed a traumatic concept. We can be sure it is not done with understanding because when leaders accept the promises of false teaching they betray themselves and their own families just as surely as they betray the general population. We are all betrayed and enslaved by false teaching.
False teaching does not so much destroy intelligence as destroy the ability to use intelligence successfully. If reasoning is based on false concepts then the conclusions will be false. When people find that the plans they make do not produce the expected results they become frustrated and will blame their frustration on any of the many variables of life rather than see fault with their basic beliefs. Basic beliefs we usually accept as unquestionable.
As intelligence is always rational, continually frustrated people can be led to the conclusion that there is no social truth. It then becomes sensible to assume that we are free to choose whatever values appeal to us. At that point thinking becomes self-centered or incestuous and culture begins to fall apart.
Even though our enemies know enough of social mechanisms to manipulate us, they show that they do not know enough to counter their own egotism.
To provide a concise and reasonably simple explanation of why our world is suffering its present afflictions is not easy. We cannot ourselves use brainwashing otherwise we trap ourselves as our enemies trapped themselves. Readers have to use their own intelligence and, as they read, take an honest look at politics, the mass media and education.
Things our Governments indirectly support would greatly shock most people because, although items do get into the news at times, they are presented in a way that will not alert people to the danger. But the government is still legally OUR government. It is the legal duty of those elected to do what WE want, NOT what THEY want. If we do not take action while we still have the chance, in a year or two, even if we do awaken, it will be too late.
We must ask ourselves if what our leaders are doing is only the result of stupidity or does it conform to an integrated plan when viewed in relation to the aims and ambitions of a powerful elite.
We may also ask ourselves why we have not tried to understand what is happening to our culture? Do we fear the enormity of what we may find?
Should we not also ask ourselves why so many people are not able to see such simple truths as that the more we produce the more we have. Is it beyond normal understanding to appreciate that the 'rich bosses' are not the main consumers of the product of our labour?
It is the family of those who produce wealth who are the main consumers. Is it beyond normal understanding to see that the measure of communal wealth is not wages but production? If the workforce were allowed to understand only this simple truth then it would realize that 99% of strikes nowadays are self-destructive and can only serve the interests of manipulators.
We have a simple choice: we can live our lives in the service of others or take our freedom. Our greatest danger is fear to face our problems.
Orwell's Discovery
If you are concerned by the above comment just remember that Orwell's "1984" was originally to be called "1948". In 1948 that writer had discovered a secret of human manipulation.
Orwell probably thought he had discovered how socialists were getting control of people and, to avoid reprisal, revealed his finding in fiction. However he was wrong if he thought that this method of people enslavement was invented by socialists. Socialism is itself part of implanted belief.
Enslavement of people by control of belief was discovered long, long ago, at a time when life was simple and the human mind not saturated with irrelevancies and myths; a time when cause and effect could be more easily recognized.
The Chinese used to bind the feet of their girl children and this pathetic crippling was deemed beautiful - because of belief. For fashion or profit people can be induced to believe almost anything.
Orwell discovered, in part, a secret hidden from the general population for thousands of years .. the secret of enslavement by CONTROL of BELIEF.
He found that those who control the present can control the past, and those who control the past can control the future.
How is that? What a community believes life is, or is about, is the result of its historic perception. As intelligence is essentially rational, the community directs itself in relation to what it believes. People willingly (even enthusiastically) built pyramids in ancient Egypt or commit suicide in today's South American jungle, IF .. they first have the base belief that allows them to be led to accept it is to their benefit.
Those who control the past (meaning who control our understanding of the past) control the future, and those who control the present can have important segments of historic knowledge re-written and thereby control the past. This is happening today. Forget about the fictional content of the novel "1984" and realize that enslavement by control of belief is a reality that is today even more effective than it was in 1948. We are being re-programmed for massive social change.
Why are some simple distortions of historic fact contrived by people who are clever enough to know that the deception will be discovered?
It is because all people are not entirely easy to lead, some are just too 'nosy' about what may be going on behind the scenes. To prevent these people learning too much, traps are set to lead them into controllable situations. In other words they direct attention to 'dead end' lies, so as to protect more important lies. The war of the mind is planned more carefully than physical war.
You may at first think that people could not be manipulated so easily. You may at first think that there is no Secret Empire. If you are well educated you will almost certainly think this, because that is what you are educated to think. If you are not well educated then you will most likely think what the educated lead you to think. Few things in life are certain, but one thing that comes close to certain is that, whatever you may now believe about life, it is almost certainly WRONG.
We are discouraged from questioning some things, encouraged to question others. We should use our reasoning ability and not rely on the advice of people who cannot logically relate ALL the substantial evidence. Let us think for ourselves.
Is there a conspiracy? YOU KNOW that there are conspiracies going on at every level of society, from the family to the nation. Is it reasonable to think that human nature stops at international borders?
You know that there are long-lasting institutions such as the Mafia: Chinese secret societies, Humanist and other religions, International Banking, Royalty, Communism and other political movements. Do you believe human nature does not span generations? Certainly there is conspiracy but what we expose goes beyond conspiracy.
To say that social direction is not a product of belief is to say that there is no intelligence. But that itself is not intelligent. You cannot intelligently claim that there is no intelligence.
As a matter of simple logic we either do things because we expect that they will bring certain reasonably predictable results, or we walk in front of cars and get killed. Intelligence insists we live in accord with what we BELIEVE to be true. Not necessarily what is factually true, but what we believe to be true.
Our position may be likened to people living in a large room with a huge window. At some time in the past 'smart' people observed that different cultures gave value to different things and, as a result, were different in the way they behaved. Seeing this, they realized that if they created a curtain of make-believe and painted in the images they wanted people to see, and painted out the images they did not want people to see, then they could direct people to believe what they wanted people to believe and have them do what they wanted them to do.
Most of us are too lazy to learn for ourselves; we are happy to let others do the work (and take responsibility) for us. Once a few reasoning people saw this they became leaders and once the chosen educators were told what to believe the educated became servants.
But we have now a chance to consider and think for ourselves. We may see that what we accept as true may be DESIGNED to manipulate us for the benefit of others and understand that, by control of beliefs, we are led in slavery from birth to death.
So let us begin to examine a little of the grime that covers our window on the world; and let us use our intelligence. I know that what I am asking is not easy to do. People willingly die for their beliefs; people who are fanatical about peace will kill innocent people for what they believe. It is a very traumatic thing to challenge the beliefs we have learned to live with and have accepted as a foundation for our behaviour pattern.
If we can once bring ourselves to face the reality of deceit, then we may see that truth is the most important thing in life. We may be able to free ourselves of present beliefs and take a fresh look at the world and the meaning of life ... we may find reality more marvelous than we think.
