The Gospel According To Q

UPDATE: We will be appearing on Rense Radio Thursday, 19 July 2018, at 8pm PDT, discussing Q-anon.

UPDATE 2: Joseph Farrell reminded me of the Quelle (Germ., "source") or Q-Source, or Q-Gospel theory in Biblical studies.  It was a once-popular theory that common elements of the Gospels of Luke and Matthew represented a single, possibly oral original source.  There are now seven separate, significant and meaningful references to the name "Q", some of which are listed herein, and others that are coming up in later posts.  This is in keeping with my theory of multiple layers to the Q Phenomenon, where the same information means different things to different people.  See our follow-up article.

As readers have surmised, I am intrigued if not alarmed by the Q phenomenon, which I believe to be a classic, though highly sophisticated psy-op.  My two previous articles appear here and here.

What has captured my attention with this phenomenon is not only the sophistication of it, but also that it has often been very difficult to track them back to the precise moment at which they were launched.

Additionally, there is the resemblance to and connection with religion - primarily the Big Four (Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism) - both in the message of Q and in its means of propagation through the general culture.

My working hypothesis is that Q is the operational version of a test done in 2012, called Cicada 3301.  I covered this in some detail in the last article, and will likely go deeper as I study and compare the two phenomena.  Suffice it here to say they bear a number of relationships to each other, both in form and function.

If the reader has played along at home, then you have learned how Q works: Q posts "drops" and "crumbs" on 8chan, which are then picked up and analyzed by an inner circle called the Anons, who then propagate the message to an outer circle who make (primarily) YouTube videos that mostly repeat the official party line.

This bears more than a passing resemblance to the various major religions, in which an individual or group has a direct line to God, who in turn imparts a cryptic message that is passed to the inner circle of apostles.  The apostles interpret the message and hand it to the outer circles (monks, priests, rabbis, imam, etc.), who in turn disseminate it amongst the flock.

The resemblance is rather remarkable.  The central figure (Mohammad, Jesus, Siddartha, Moses) says or writes something that is usually highly encoded.  The message requires interpretation and decoding by a close-knit group of true believers who understand the "rules" and "methods" for extracting the "true" meaning embedded in the otherwise scrambled text/mutterings.

The inner circle then hands the message off to the grass-roots leaders, whose job it is to develop followers that need to hear the message of hope/redemption/superiority in order for them to function in an otherwise insane, chaotic and meaningless world.

As noted in my previous musings, the name "Q" reminds me of a central demi-god character introduced into the Star Trek universe in the premier of The Next Generation, and which appeared in the Deep Space Nine and Voyager iterations.  The character is based on one in the original series in an episode called the "The Squire of Gothos".

The character of Q has god-like powers and is part of a "collective" that is mostly unseen, but which is referred to on numerous occasions.  This echoes the "parents" in the original series episode that introduced the model, as well as the "Q Collective" in later iterations.  The conspiracy-minded folks among us might even think the Q character was softening us for the introduction of this phenomenon, which adds a whole extra dimension to this story.

In the extant Q phenomenon, the name ostensibly refers to Q-level security clearance, which is supposedly one of the highest in the US federal government.  Whether that is true or not doesn't matter, nor is it important to this analysis.  In my model, the important thing is the perception, more than the fact.

Q is said to be an individual, or possibly a group (collective), with god-like access to military intelligence and who is able to steer the behavior of the inner workings of the Deep State.  Q can "see the future" - report on events that will happen - as well as give followers insight into current events in the socio-political machinations of government and headline events in the news.

The reader would do well to string together the various episodes of Star Trek that have the Q character in them, while watching the Q phenomenon.  The parallels are rather interesting.

As Q drops crumbs on 8chan, the Anons - the apostles in our working model - go to work researching and free-associating on the texts, coming up with coherent narratives that reveal just how prescient, even omniscient, Q is.  Think of this as a form of prophesy that is revealed to be Truth by its fulfillment in the future, especially when it is open to numerous interpretations of meaning.

It is at this point that I can't help but hear the words of Joseph P. Farrell, when he says that those who control the interpretation of prophesy, control its fulfillment.  In fact, the similarities to religious prophesy are legion and worrisome.

The outer circle - or priesthood in my model - pick up the Anon interpretations, place them side-by-side with the Q drops, and run endless analyses along with their own insights.  In fact, there even seems to be developing certain factions within the outer circle that are analogous to denominations within religious faiths.

What I find most remarkable in this model is that Q, just like its religious counterparts, preaches passivity and disdain.

Passivity because the followers are commanded to "enjoy the show," "get popcorn" and wait for "future proves the past."  Just like the major religions, the central character will come in glory to pass judgement on the evil ones and the results will justify the means.  The followers are commanded to take no actions themselves, but rather sit back and watch in amazement as the messiah traps evil in its own filth and confines it for all eternity (convict and jail the perps).

Just like the Biblical Book of Revelations and its various counterparts among the major religions, followers will be protected by their special knowledge during the Tribulation and Great Final Battle ("The Storm" in Q terms).

Once the prosecutions and convictions are done, there will be a Golden Age of Law and Order that will reign over the Earth, but Q commands us to be patient, as it takes time for these things to run their course.

The followers of Q also feel a certain superiority over the average Joe and especially the Evil Ones, and a disdain for those too blind to see or deaf to hear.  They talk of the Great Conversion (Great Awakening a la Q) once all is revealed to the masses.  They crow over the Spreading of the Word and the swelling subscription and hit counts.  They pray fervently that folks will Get the Message (be Red Pilled), and join the passive Watch and Wait phase of The Plan.

"Trust the Plan!"  This is one of the great commandments of Q.  We are to uncritically accept that this hidden elite group of military intelligence knows what is best for all of us, and there is to be no dissension.  Anyone who strays is ostracized (excommunicated) as a heretic.

The final parallel to religion is the development of the Q Theology.  These amount primarily to "Proofs," where the Pope (Donald J. Trump) gives winks and nods to the Believers that he and Q are in direct proximity and communication in the government version of the Vatican called the White House.  Trump was hand-picked by Q to be the Great Leader, an outsider of tremendous virtue who will take humanity out of the desert and into the Promised Land, where we will dwell amidst oceans of milk and honey where all will be revealed.  One can almost hear Trump excusing himself for not being much of a public speaker and in need of his own Aaron at this point, but Q replies that the mantle is upon him and he must rise up and lead the Children of Israel.

One could easily place the Proofs in the same category as Augustine of Hippo's De Doctrina Christiana, or Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologica.  They serve to re-enforce the existence of Q, and veracity of the Word of Q.  They also help establish the primacy of Q Theology over all preceding revelations.

It is difficult not to draw these comparisons between Q and religion, as many of the commentators include blatant religious messages as part of their faithful reporting.  One must assume that this direct link to the major religions was an intentional design of the entity(ies) that created Q.  Not only are there objective design elements between Q and successful religions, but its appeal to those with religious predispositions - or seeking a religious worldview - makes comparison inevitable.

The link between Q and Star Trek also seems intended to appeal to those with a more secular humanist - less mystical - viewpoint.  If religion is not your thing, then perhaps the more secular link to science and logic will draw you in.

More into sports?  How about Our Team versus Their Team?  Prefer creative pursuits?  How about creating your own Q merchandise?  The Q name and quotes are public domain, so create away!  Contemplative?  Retreat to your Hermitage (parents' basement) and ponder the deeper meanings of Q.

Whatever your socio-cultural-religious bent, there seems to be an element of it in the Q phenomenon.  Even if your only interest is solving puzzles like a Dan Brown character, Q is tailor-made to attract your attention.

In my view, Q is clearly "designed".  It is not an organic outcropping of the culture, but something specifically manufactured to draw in as many people as possible.  It is most certainly a psy-op - all the elements are there.  Whether it is benign or not is a matter of argument, speculation and conjecture at this point; however, I would argue that anything which manipulates people's thinking without expressly stating that it is doing so is NOT benign.

To this author's mind, the underlying assumption of Q is that government is a necessary thing, though it can be bent to Good or Evil.  For this reason, I find the whole thing suspicious, since I place no trust in government of any kind for any reason.  Any socio-cultural movement that has only two possible sides is a product of the Hegelian Dialectic, and artificially limits the conversation to a choice where the author of the dialectic is the only winner.

In the end, the Q phenomenon is clearly what it appears to be - a new type of religious-style movement designed to placate/passify the masses and prevent a mass uprising while the factions of the Deep State hash out their differences.  In other words, the Ruling Paradigm must be preserved and enforced, even as the Rulers figure out who will take the reins/reigns for the foreseeable future.

Though Q clearly labels certain elements as "White Hats," and others as "Black Hats," it is a value judgement that ultimately rests on the spectator's ability to reason critically.  I personally make no distinction between the two sides, as they are both defending the same paradigm.

I personally opt for a third alternative that is notably abscent from this operation - that of self-government and individual responsibility.  In the interest of full disclosure, my viewpoint is not a popular one, but it allows me a certain dispassion when analyzing things like Q.

That said, it does not ameliorate my suspicions, nor diffuse my curiosity and interest in watching this drama unfold.  The sophistication of the design and the effectiveness of its dissemination in just the last nine months is a marvel of modern marketing.  From a purely professional standpoint, I admire the marketing design and the fervor with which a great number of people have taken it up.  If only Leni Riefenstahl were alive to see this, she would be green with envy.

Edward Bernays would be so proud of the creature he unleashed on an unsuspecting world.

We Control The Horizontal And The Vertical

I'm going to tell you something, and I'm going to try and be delicate.  I don't want to bruise delicate psyches or shock anyone unduly.

But first, think about this...in fact, check yourself regularly as you go about your business every day.  When you walk into a room with a TeeVee, do you automatically look at it?  When you are talking with someone and there is a TeeVee in the room, do you find your eyes wandering over to the screen...usually when the transition graphics are running?

I want you to think about this long and hard, and concentrate on it for at least a week.  The reason is that you are mind controlled.

I told you it wasn't going to be easy.  No one wants to admit they are mind controlled.  Perhaps a kinder, gentler term would help...hypnotized.  Maybe that will help you feel like you can snap out of it if you really try.  And try you must.  Now that I have implanted the thought in your mind, you will at least think about it on occasion, perhaps catch yourself being drawn to the TeeVee.

Not to discourage you, but it took me many years to snap out of it.  Many of those years were spent studying and creating media content that helped hypnotize people.  I was pretty good at it.  I got paid well and won awards for it.  Even though I was trained and conscious of what was happening, I was still a victim, because the power of the medium is almost overwhelming.

TeeVee, and movies too, rely on a physiological phenomenon that has been burned into our brains over millennia of development as a species.  Our eyes/brain automatically react to movement and flashing light.  It's an automatic response.  Things that move and flash might be food, or water, or perhaps a predator.  Whatever the reason for it, it is very hard to control

TeeVee specifically uses lots of colorful rotating graphics and loud, splashy music that usually begin with a strong beat to make us look.  Once our gaze is locked by spinning logos and swooshing meaningless elements and blaring music, we are primed to have suggestions pumped into our minds.

Notice that the swooshing stuff is immediately followed by a single strong statement, called a "lead".  The lead has been chosen as the message of the moment that will kick off every segment and fill the lower-third title crawl.  Whenever you get bored by the pictures, your eyes are automatically drawn to the words incessantly scrolling across the screen, when the message is pounded into your brain over and over again.

Suppose you and I meet at our favorite cafe (where a TeeVee or two are streaming messages at us) and I say, "Trump."

Two years ago, you would probably think of Bridge, Hearts or Spades, or at least the expression "trump card."  Now, your head is full of images of a fat, grey-haired loudmouth, and your mind is full of one of two narratives, depending on whether you watch "left" or "right" media.

The fact that there are only two narratives to choose from, left or right, and not three, ten or a hundred, is that the information you are fed is pre-arranged in diametrically opposed packages.

Depending on which one your are conditioned to subscribe to, your reaction to "Trump" will be pleasurable or painful.  Both of us are probably unable to create a third narrative, since we have not thought that way and don't have the vocabulary ready to express it.  If we stick to the two controlled narratives, we most likely have an hour or more of conversation ahead parroting all the messages we have heard.

I do not watch TeeVee, nor listen to the radio.  Haven't for more than a decade.  I subscribe to a very narrow selection of YouTube channels that I believe are free thinkers, or just purely mind candy for times when I want to relax.  For that reason, I am forced to formulate my own narratives, which regular readers here know do not conform to most "mainstream" ideologies.

I also read a lot.  And write a lot.  I teach English and have been paid to write on many occasions, sometimes winning awards for it.  The books I read generally went out of print a century ago or more, though my collection of over 3,000 books (last time I bothered to count) spans the last 3,000 years.

I only listen to recorded music and use an ad blocker on all my browsers.  I avoid every possible contact with advertising.  When I accidentally see one, it usually makes me laugh because they are so wildly manipulative, appealing to our basest emotions and desires.  In fact, I spend a lot of time on my Twitter feed ridiculing and satirizing the media, because it is an effective way to break the spell.

The reason I mention all this is to demonstrate the amount of effort necessary to break the habit and get out of the conditioning.  The mind is like a muscle - it must be exercised regularly or it will atrophy.  Trust me, TeeVee and the other media depend on us being lazy and unwilling to exercise our minds.

Here's another little experiment.  Next time you get together with friends and actually talk (as opposed to using devices or absorbing media), be aware of what is being discussed.  Chances are, nearly all of the conversation will revolve around the media - what someone saw, heard or read.  Very little will have to do with personal experiences and anecdotes.

If you feel particularly daring, go prepared with a story or topic that is far from the beaten path (say medieval architecture or unusual political view) and notice how everyone reacts.  I will bet dimes to donuts the conversation shuts down for a few seconds before going back to the media.

Finally, and I know this doesn't apply to readers here because they would be basket cases before finishing one column, if a loved one is "triggered" by certain topics, words or ideas, then they are most certainly mind-controlled.

"Triggering" is a concept from the Bernays school of public relations and propaganda.  It was developed out of Freudian and Jungian hierarchies and archetypes.  The triggers are basically weaponized fears and desires that are used to control our behavior.

There are fears of being excluded from the group, or desires to lead the group.  They are herd instincts that have been deeply researched and particular sounds and pictures have been associated with them.  They can be triggered without us knowing it, and our responses have been programmed into us so that we react in predictable and controllable ways.

One example that is very powerful is "for the children".  We will do anything, buy any product, try any technique, and rally the troops "for the children".  This is one of our most basic instincts and it is one of the most weaponized.

Any number of crimes have been perpetrated by nothing more than saying "for the children".  Just look at vaccines.  Politicians, social workers and advertisers use "for the children" all the time.  "Amber Alerts" and "No Child Left Behind" are all examples of "for the children".  Child 'protective' Services justifies all the horrors they wreak in the name of "for the children".  You can completely shut down someone's defensive reactions by sayiing, "It's for the children."

Yes, sadly, we are all mind controlled.  The media is so pervasive now that we can hardly extract ourselves from it.  We feel embarrassed if we can't discuss last night's game or the lastest episode of Game of Thrones or Orange Is The New Black.

Have you ever felt ashamed or left out because you don't watch or missed an episode of the current craze?  You are mind-controlled.  Are you angry that Tim Allen's Last Man Standing got cancelled?  You are controlled by the "right" narrative.  Are you ecstatic that it got cancelled?  You are controlled by the "left" narrative.

The proper response from a clear-thinking mind is, "Who gives a shit?"

As an aside, I usually return FOLLOWS on Twitter as a courtesy.  I often get very nice messages thanking me for the follow, though I admit I am sadly lacking in that department.  The other day I got a response that read, "Hi! Thanks for following us. How do you use social media? For Business or Pleasure?"

I responded, "I use social media to ridicule and satirize the enemies of Truth, though just as often I point out the absurdities of using social media."

I have yet to get a reply.  They may even have UNFOLLOWed me.  Que sera!

You can follow the fun @RadioFarSide.  I'll most likely FOLLOW you back, if you stick around long enough.

Achy Breaky Psyche

Generally, I have no interest in pop culture orgies, such as the recent MTV Video Music Awards.  They are pointless exercises in frustration that so much money and time is wasted on so little talent.  But something caught my attention this year.  The media has been fixated on some yutz called Miley Cyrus.  When the media do this kind of focus, there is usually an important message behind the event that the Hidden Hand wants us to be sure and note.

At first, it just pissed me off that the media was devoting so much space to this Miley Cyrus character, when the nation should be in sober reflection on the fact that it is about to sacrificially slaughter a whole bunch more brown people.  Normally, I would write this kind of thing off as simple distraction, but there were just too many weird symbols around this particular character.  So I bit the bullet and dialed up some clips of her performance, as well as tried to get a handle on just who this character was.

Turns out Miley Cyrus is the daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus.  For those who don't follow the country music scene, Billy Ray is a good ol' Kentucky boy who hit it big time with a song called "Achy Breaky Heart," which I happen to despise.  But that's beside the point.

Now, anyone who knows the entertainment business knows that to become as big as Billy Ray and his daughter, you sell your soul - pretty much literally.  I refer folks my age to Bob Dylan's comments in an interview.

It seems that the price for Billy Ray's fame was his offspring.  Miley rose to fame as a character called Hanna Montana, which was a Disney mind-control product in the past decade.  From what I gather, a normal, red-blooded American girl had a secret identity as a rock star in that particular pile of rubbish.

Despite being just another pile of Disney crap, the Hanna Montana phenomenon hooked millions of teen girls, which Disney excels at doing (see the whole princess line-up).  As per formula, Disney's signature products hook young girls with the vaguely wholesome fantasy of exceptionalism and the 'prince to the rescue' garbage (the prince being of darkness, of course).

True to Disney format, Miley Cyrus was built up as an 'Everygirl' who, in spite of being exceptional (a singer in this case), still has no identity without a prince to rescue her.  Throughout the Hanna Montana series, there is a running theme that she cannot be complete without a prince to rescue her.  This formula is like mainlining for a junkie when it comes to teen girls.

In the American hero-worship and celebrity cult context, all those teen girls invested their egos in Hanna's quest, just as males are driven to invest their self-worth in sports heros.  In both cases, once the heroes reach a certain status, they are completely debased.  Their moral fiber is totally unwound and all the folks who have tied their egos to the personality see that being wholesome and upright is pointless and they should just give in to debauchery, just like their heroes.

The process is also a means to destroy innocence and create cognitive dissonance in the audience, which then makes them suseptible to whatever message you want to implant.  In Miley's case, the performances established a Master/slave relationship with the 'prince' character.  It is intended that the Miley audience is meant to serve the desires of whomever the Hidden Hand wants.

The girls who are ego-attached to Miley were also meant to see the teddy-bear t-shirt with the classic "one eye closed" - the All-Seeing Eye.  This sensitizes the girls in the audience to 'follow the bear', which is an identity code for pedophiles.  The All-Seeing Eye, of course, is the command and control structure that feeds this sickness.

So, what folks witnessed was the classic cognitive dissonance effect, where innocent Miley was shockingly debased before our very eyes.  This opened a hole in the psyches of millions of young girls into which the message was placed to follow people displaying the 'one-eyed bear,' and to submit completely to these 'princes' when they come along.

Following this ritual in plain sight, the media was enlisted to keep the process going to ensure complete implantation.  By distilling the performance to its most bebased moments and repeating it over and over in multiple outlets, it ensured that the mental disconnect was complete and that the desired message was thoroughly cemented in.

It's the same process that was used on a global scale on 9/11.  First, the audience is shocked by incomprehensible images.  The images are repeated constantly to ensure the deepest possible damage.  Then, the audience is primed to receive whatever message you throw at them.  In the case of 9/11, the message was 'perpetual war' and 'follow the leader'.  In the case of Miley, it was 'submit' and 'being good is pointless'.

These types of things are done all the time - murderous footballers, steroid-enhanced baseballers, transgender military whistleblowers.  There's a hero for everyone.  No matter what your particular belief system is, you are fed a hero, the hero is debased before your eyes, and you surrender to hopelessness and subservience.

Any time you feel shock or dismay at something you see in the media, immediately turn off everything and get as far away from any media as you can.  These things are deliberate attempts to implant messages in your subconscious, and unless you are adept at recognizing it and fighting the process, your best option is to shut down the data stream.

Most people have no idea how powerful the media are and how they are manipulated every moment of every day for their entire lives.  The media have become such an integral part of our lives, yet there is no systematic education on how they operate, and more importantly, how they can be abused.

A great number of people experience withdrawl when they shut off the media streams.  It's an addiction, just like any drug you care to list.  Somewhere in all the data streams to your mind, a hero is being built that will later be debased to allow the Hidden Hand to jack into your sub-conscious.  To see the process in action, keep an eye on Edward Snowden.  He is likely being set up as a hero for the anti-surveillance crowd, and when he's taken down, it will allow the implantation of pro-government snooping messages.

Whatever you do, stop investing time in the hero-worship and celebrity cult.  In every case, it is nothing more than a way to drill a hole into your psyche and allow access to your deepest levels.  Learning how these things are done gives you some protection, but you have to be on constant guard if you are a big TeeVee viewer.  You best bet is just stay away from it all as much as possible, especially when there are 'shocking' events.  Those are the most dangerous.

Poor Billy Ray.  A terrible price for his "Achy Breaky Heart".

How Fragile The Mind

Weltanschauung.

It's a German word composed of welt (world) and anschauung (overview).  Germans are masters at hooking together a couple of simple words to make really complex ideas.  The word means 'one's view of life, the Universe and everything, and one's place in it'.  Not what you'd call a narrow word.

From birth, we spend years on our parents' knees, in school and in our personal experiences building a weltanschauung.  We decide what to include and what to exclude, what our definitions are, and most importantly what boundaries we place on the Universe.

Some of us erect very narrow and simplistic walls, such as God is an old, bearded man in the sky and my country right or wrong.  Others construct much broader realms.  Still others place no limits on their Universes and instead allow for ever increasing information and ideas.

Those with the most narrow weltanschauungs are the most vulnerable.  They can have their Universe destroyed quickly and decisively by a single idea.  Their boundaries are so close to home that any attack whatsoever will hit dangerously close to the core.

Those with broader weltanschauungs push the point at which their definition of the Universe is challenged further out, until some reach the point where they have no expectations or definitions to destroy.  We call those people Buddha or Christ.

Our weltanschauung is the foundation upon which all else is built.  When it is undermined, all that we know and understand is completely destroyed.  Suddenly, we are faced with endless possibilities and boundless space.  Most people are terrified of this and work quickly to re-erect the walls of their Universe.  They don't want to deal with such vast unknowns.

Weltanschauungs can be very difficult to destroy.  Like putting a stick into an ant pile, thousands of little workers spring into action at the first signs of trouble and start piling the bricks up as fast as they can.  Without their definition of Universe, people are at their most vulnerable and pliable.  Their weakest flank is exposed and they will do anything to seal off the howling winds of Unknown.

For each of us, the Universe is created when we are given a Name.  If you read sacred texts, they almost all begin with the idea of some being 'speaking' the Word and creating the Universe.  How many of us consider that when we speak a Word, we create a Universe?  This is why we are forbidden to speak the Name of God, because that would limit God to some Universe, which cannot be done.

Throughout our lives, we pick up Names.  At birth, we are given a Name that creates our family.  In school, we earn nicknames that create our social groups.  As a Catholic, I was given a Name at Confirmation that created a Soldier of Christ.  Most of us are given numbers, which are just Names with different letters, that create things called Taxpayers and Citizens.  We give ourselves Names so that when someone asks, "Where are you from," we can create a thing identified with a certain piece of dirt.

If you are lucky, you learn more than one language in your life.  One language limits our Universe to only those things expressed by that language.  But learning other languages expands our Universe to include things that cannot be expressed in our Mother Tongue.  In this way, our Universe expands.
 r
A few of us, though, push on into the realm of Things With No Names.  This weltanschauung is very hard to attack, since you cannot destroy something that doesn't have a Name.  No one can take from you that which cannot be named and defined.  Without a Name, things don't exist.

Those who understand this concept have remarkable power.  They are able to destroy the weltanschauungs of others and reconstruct them in any form they like.  If you can yank the Universe out from under someone, then in their mad rush to rebuild, you can hand them whatever materials you like.  They will dutifully stack them up to rebuild the boundaries of their weltanschauung.  This is how mental manipulation works.

This mental control can be done on a mass scale, such as the JFK assassination or 9/11, or it can be done on an individual scale, such as punching someone when and where they least expect it.  In the resulting confusion and cognitive dissonance, the aware Name can recreate another's Universe.

If the Name is the brick by which we build our universes, then Belief is the mortar by which we stack them.  Beliefs are those things we hold to be true despite all evidence to the contrary.  These things color our Universes because we deny all reality to believe certain impossibilities or non-sequiturs.  For instance, believing that one;s country is exceptional or that it can do no wrong, or one's god was slaughtered but rose from the dead three days later, are examples of things that shade and skew our view of reality.

The problem with weltanschauungs, especially those that are too narrow or fragile, is they make us vulnerable.  We can be controlled by those who have the power to manipulate our world view.  They can force us outside our mental constructs and put us on very shaky mental ground.

When you build a house, you want to believe that it is a solid, secure house.  But then something happens to cause your house to collapse and you are left in the cold, shivering and shaking with the rain falling on your head.  Someone comes along and says, "Here, come in my house."  Now they are in control.  Now it is their house that gives you shelter and you must accept their construct if you want get out of the cold and rain.

This is why it is so important to challenge our weltanschauung all the time.  We must constantly re-evaluate the bricks and mortar that we built our house with, otherwise it will be all too easy to destroy our house and leave out in the cold.

For this reason, we must listen to conspiracy theories and alternative researchers.  We must consider their arguments, if they are well-built, and look around us to see if there is evidence that supports the argument.

When we do this, we expand the walls of our house and find stronger and stronger bricks and mortar with which to build.  Granted, we might reject an argument because we don't see credible evidence of truth.  But sometimes we come across a strong argument, good mortar, that allows us to expand and strengthen our house.

The reson for this is that if our weltanschauung is large enough and strong enough, we can never be at the mercy of those who would use us by destroying our world view and offering their own as shelter.  We cannot be controlled if our house cannot be destroyed.

If we have properly considered alternative ideas, then when something happens to challenge our world view, we can deal with it and not be left in the cold.  If one day, NASA announces the existence of life off the planet Earth, our world view has already considered the possiblity and cannot be shaken by this new fact.  If one day it is proved that the government was complicit in 9/11, this new information cannot shake our foundation because we have already considered the possibility and incorporated it into our world view.  If it is proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that there is a massive conspiracy to defraud the world through the financial system, we have already made that part of our Universe and we cannot be controlled by those who would use our disorientation to control us.

The more possibilities you build into your weltanschauung, the less likely you are to be prey for predatory powers.  If we are certain that life is only a small part of our existence, then the threat of death has no power over us.

It is most important that we take time to regularly push the boundaries of what we hold to be true.  Even something as simple as acknowledging the possibility that some outrageous idea could be true gives us a strength that cannot be attacked.

The ultimate weakness of every human being is the limits of their weltanschauung.  Once those limits have been pierced, we are prey to whatever force that offers us shelter.  It is vitally important to constantly push the boundaries of possibility, to challenge our beliefs, to entertain new and strange ideas.  If we don't, then our walls of reality are too narrow and we are vulnerable.

The next time you feel compelled to reject an idea out of hand, stop.  Instead, listen to the idea.  Examine the evidence.  And if you can allow that something is possible, no matter how improbable, then you have just strengthened your world view against attack.

Many of us stop learned even before we leave school.  Our 'teachers' spend a lot of time building a world view for us.  Our job is to break those walls and expand them ourselves.  We are tasked with spending our entire lives pushing the limits of what we know, believe and consider possible.  The more we do this, the less likely it is that someone can take control of our reality.

Those who live in glass houses cannot throw stones, but those who live in double-paned, Kevlar reinforced quartzite glass houses can play baseball indoors, if we wish.

Mobocracy Ascendant

Al Capone

It's fairly well known that the Rothschild family are the central bankers of the UK and the power behind the throne.  Slightly less known is that they are uber-Zionists and were the financial muscle behind the founding of the modern Israeli state.  That family is also implicated by extension in the current paedophilia scandal currently rocking the UK privileged classes.

When a scandal this big gets too close to the major players and covers too many column inches in the 'press', the elite need a distraction to bury inconvenient stories.  If they can move the story off the front pages and slowly corral them towards the back/bottom of the news, then they can make them disappear.

Lo and behold!, it's a war in the Middle East, with none other than Israel smack in the middle of it all.  What's more, the whole thing started with a secret meeting of the core Bilderburgers in Rome.

The front page squeeze is on!  The paedophiles are already disappearing from the mass consciousness.  If the topics weren't so dire, it would be fun to watch how they do this.  But the fact remains that people are being slaughtered to cover up the tracks of some very evil people.

Even without a cynical eye, one can perceive the manipulation of global events to hide some things and expose others.  In a recent article, I detailed my thoughts on the idea that there are two competing factions in the race for global domination: the statists and the corporatists.  Though their goals are the same, they split over the structure.  The former see a world much like Orwell's dystopia, while the latter want to dangle baubles in front of the hypnotized masses.  What it boils down to is the carrot and the stick.  The statists would flog us into submission, while the corporatists would entice us into voluntary servitude.

So what we are seeing on the global stage now are salvos in the war between these two competing philosophies.  The statists are taking down the US military command structure, as seen in the Petraeus case, while the corporatists are pushing military adventurism for profit and to hide their predilection for child sex.

It's a major battle for above-the-fold headlines, each with different agendas and methodologies.  When they aren't threatened in their positions sitting atop the world power structure, they are fighting each other for top dog status.  If you needed an example as to how these groups are nothing more than glorified mobsters, this is it.

When the mob is comfortably in control, they go to war on each other for turf, but if outsiders try to move in, they circle the wagons and defend their mutual claims.  Another way to look at it is an abusive marriage.  Normally, the spouses physically and verbally abuse each other, but if an outsider tries to step in and interfere, they both turn and present a united front.

It helps to keep an eye on the Big Picture and reduce these major global events to more manageable terms.  Don't get me wrong: every man's death diminishes me, but I refuse to allow the cruel and ruthless slaughter of innocents be used as a weapon by evil and immoral gangsters to keep me sedate with fear.  And that is exactly what they are doing to us.

By taking down powerful people and launching wholesale terror on families and non-combatants, they hope to keep us in line with the implication that it could happen to us at any time.  However, they are nothing more than overblown bullies with big toys who want to steal more and more of our labor and freedom to satiate their unquenchable desire for power.  The only way they can win is to paralyze otherwise good people with fear.

Basically, we are the deer and they are the headlights, and if we don't snap out of it fast, we will end up as hood ornaments on their pimpmobiles.

Petraeus and the other military brass are paying the price for their servitude to immorality.  They chose the path and now they must negotiate the obstacles being thrown at them.

On the other hand, the Palestinians in Gaza and others in the region are paying a price for crimes they did not commit.  Rather their punishment comes at the hands of wicked quasi-humans who are taking lives to cover their crimes.

In either case, we the unwashed masses are being enticed by a global slight-of-hand to look the other way while the slime clean up their mess.  Only crimes of unspeakable depth and breadth would require such draconian methods to distract us.  It is therefore incumbent on us to stare directly at them and refuse to allow the filthy mobsters to hide the evidence and bury the outrage and shame that should be their rightful due.

As every fan of murder mysteries knows, committing one crime requires and endless stream of subsequent crimes to cover the trail.  Because the mobsters have millions of murders on their hands, they must eventually kill all of us to hide it.

Or we must put and end to it fast.

We start by acknowledging the fact there is no "right" side in all of this.  It is all "wrong".  There are no good guys or morally defensible side in the global fiasco unfolding on our TeeVees.  We must hold them all to blame, regardless of whether the mob has already thrown them to the dogs as sacrifices to keep us off the scent.

It is our duty to those who have died and who are dying at the hands of these butchers to hold the guilty parties to task and not be fooled by their parlor tricks.  They are nothing more than petty thieves who have figured out how to manipulate our deepest fears for their gain, and nothing more.  They are parasites that will kill the host if we don't act quickly and sensibly to stop the infection.

They manipulate symbols, powerful symbols from our deepest psyches, to make us believe they are "leaders", "authorities" and "officials".  They are nothing more than the latest incarnation of Hitler, Caligula and all the other power-crazed thugs of history.  Knowing what we know now, would you be afraid to stand up to those criminals?  Or would you do everything in your power to stop them before more bodies were heaped upon their crimes?

If these 'people' aren't stopped now, we will all be their victims soon enough.  Remember, if we do nothing to stop a crime when we are fully aware of it, then we are guilty by association.  Out descendants will judge us by what actions we take today.  Think of how we view the people of Germany who realized what was happening and did nothing to stop it.

Start now by turning off the TeeVee.  Boycott Black Friday.  Talk to your friends and family about what's gong on.  Steel your mind to the ubiquitous manipulation of symbols to keep us in fear.  Refuse to be an accessory to these crimes.  We can no longer afford to brush these events off as conspiracy theories and tin-foil lunacy.

The fight is on and we're all in it, whether we admit it or not.
