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,
1970, pg. 6
Like
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.
