Novus Ordo Seculorum
I may be throwing my hat into the ring a little late, but as op-ed columnists are still re-hashing L’Affaire du Quail (see Dan Froomkin’s 2/21 WaPo column The Buckshot’s Here), I thought I’d contribute my own two cents.
THIS IS SOME ILLUMINATI BULLSHIT.
Pray, what do I mean? Well, I mean that there is obviously some insidious conspiracy running every aspect of public affairs in this country.
Dick Cheney is, by most international standards, a war criminal. He is linked to war profiteering, torture in secret concentration camps, intelligence fixing, national security breaches, domestic spying–you can choose you favorite allegation. And while these connections fall in the category of “known unknowns” because the fourth estate appears to respect his privacy in these relatively unimportant matters, his involvment in a hunting accident has provoked media scrutiny of an intensity that is usually reserved for hotel break-ins and blowjobs. Bruce Reed of Slate called the event 2/11!
Ok, ok, we get it. This incident speaks to the pattern of secrecy that pervades all the Vice President’s behavior, particularly in relation to those war crimes discussed above. But, for the love of reason, why can’t the media scrutinize the actual crimes? And that gets me back to the Illuminati.
It’s obvious that everyone is in cahoots, cahooting from sea to shining sea. Our secret masters under the Himalayas obviously want to keep their government in power and the rest of us in a state of confusion and cognitive dissonance. Here is my assessment of this latest story: The White House is in political trouble, on the verge of lame duck status. This whole shooting incident is manufactured, diverting attention away from issues of greater importance as well as the beleaguered Prez . The “liberal” media latches onto the story like a orca whale to a penguin, and makes numerous calls for Cheney’s resignation, linking the incident to his other scandals. Meanwhile, the right-wing pundits correctly blast their favorite target for baseless accusations, and pave the road for making all accusations against Cheney look baseless. AH-HA!
Now, we see how we are being kept in check. It’s the Illuminati, I am sure of it.
You are so right. Yet - and I suspect you are aware of this - You are merely scratching the surface!

Essay: Politics as mass hypnosis
Today is election day. Today I experienced an epiphany of sorts about a concept I have been working to understand for many years regarding the extreme division of the inhabitants on this merry planet. My admittedly radical thinking transcends or at least rejects, both the left and the right. I am super aware of points of view and belief systems of all the accepted socio-political positions in the western world from far left liberal pseudo intellectuals to extremist right wing fanaticism. I don’t ascribe to any. Each has found just enough “TRUTH” – whether real or imagined - to fuel its invented delusional stance. Collusions on a mass scale of delusional realities fueled by fear manifesting itself as what are commonly referred to as the seven deadly sins: Pride the grand daddy of all sins, which could be defined as the excessive belief in one’s own abilities, that interferes with the individual’s recognition of pure truth: the grace of God. Pride is also sometimes known as Vanity. Envy ahhh yes, the desire for others’ traits, status, abilities, or situation. Or the destruction thereof, so we don’t have to feel inferior which generates yet more fear. Gluttony is an inordinate desire to consume more than that which one requires. This is escapism. Fueling distraction so we don’t have to feel how full of fear we are. Lust is an inordinate craving for the pleasures of the body. This is a variation of gluttony providing similar distraction from fear. Anger is manifested in the individual who spurns love and opts instead for fury. It is also known as Wrath. This in the modern political world is the typical result of territorialism, and fascism. We are all wrong so we do our best to make everyone else just as we are or destroy them in order to not fear them as their very existence disrupts the finely crafted fantasy we have so carefully invented in order to support our delusion. Greed is the unnatural desire for material wealth or gain, ignoring the realm of the spiritual. It is also called Avarice or Covetousness. This is the primary American trait and is fueled by the dangling carrot commonly referred to as the American Dream. Sloth is the avoidance of physical or spiritual work. Being able to do this while enjoying supreme creature comforts, often at the expense of others, is the penultimate goal and prize of the American Dream.
I admit that I am an anomaly politically speaking as I don’t agree and align myself with any one group. But then, anyone who truly thinks left or right democrat or republican actually means anything is a victim of mass multi-generational hypnosis effectively employed by the group truly in power of the modern world on this planet who use divisions of belief systems, borders, paranoia fear and delusion to keep the developed modern world population working for them as debt slaves and fighting wars - which actually achieves two functions: One – The goals for the powers that be - generating huge profits hence power and, secondly it feeds the need for conquest in the general population evolved from ancient territorial rage. I believe it is tragic the way many pseudo intellectual left wing liberals feel the way they do about the power of true faithful Christian religion and prayer. They are actually angry about it as though they didn’t get what they wanted and so ridicule what is a genuine offer of love and dedication from a fellow human being at the very least, not to speak of its divine magical power: Prayer and the amazing power it holds is ridiculously effective. I didn’t believe that until very recently. My viewpoints were identical to left wing liberals for most of my life primarily because, it was easy and I was angry at religion. I realize now that it is the people who use religion, either through ignorance, fear or as a tool for manipulation, who have made me truly angry, and that I was confused. You cannot legislate morality is the battle cry of freemason agitators. Freemason’s are essentially the “mafia” for the superpowers behind the scenes and who are not members of any one country. Freedom from tyranny is not what I’m talking about here. We have evolved beyond that now. The issue is not that you cannot legislate morality - the typical left wing stance - it’s that WE SHOULDN’T HAVE TOO!!!!!
Nothing extraordinary, liberalism is just another war chant territorial backlash from angry mobs. In the end all political points of view are fascist. As much as I don’t condone it, Fascism is the purest form of politics and the most honest political method ever propagated in that it was able to bring the source of all fear based hatred out in the open and utilized directly for a political system. It basically states, do what I, your government wants or we kill you and in the case of Nazi fascism they added- And if you’re soiled with Jewish genes we’re going to kill you anyway. Fascism simply reduced every political stance to its core essence. Liberals like to think they are superior to right wing conservatives. Certainly they are nearly always better educated. Also, for the most part they are more sophisticated and free. But, in the end liberals just want everyone to be and think exactly as they do, and are not at all dissimilar from every other political stance whether they are able to see it or admit it.
Yet when I consider the meaning of the word “conservative” removed from its world of mass collusion – the agreed political context most everyone instantly associates with conservative: The Christian right and that whole mess, I don’t see what’s so conservative about conservatives. As a group they are the most wasteful group of human beings on the planet. And, they’re extremely self-righteous about it, to boot. Hypnotized people are like that… Of course the moral freedoms enjoyed by many liberals is granted by virtue of customizing morality to suit desired needs. Right is not wrong just because Left portends an acceptance of different cultures and race. That is nothing more than spin! A political campaign designed to fuel rage in the working class and poor to garner their support through rage fueled by fear. An agreement needed in order to then use and manipulate them.
I realize that I have a fundamental difference about what is truly real from most people I encounter. I know that there is a truth totally objective to human perception and belief, and that we’re afraid of it. As a result we eliminate as much of it as we can from our “world” (i.e. our delusional perception of the world) with self-hypnosis and mass collusion by devising a plausible explanation that we can invest in intellectually and or emotionally and know that we are superior to the other side. Beauty not truth and all that… Or relying on literal translations of ancient texts without a sincere heartfelt and honest questioning, which could bring about a rich understanding of our true purpose here. It is or would very soon become beyond obvious to anyone who has the courage to seek the truth, that OUR PURPOSE HERE is far more than a quest for creature comforts. Life is the battleground of good against evil and everything we do, every decision we make and every breath we take contributes to one or the other. Subconsciously we all know this. Carl Jung knew that! But we choose to run instead. Hide for cover beneath the “7 deadly” instead of traversing the admittedly treacherous road in order to discover and learn the truth of the “riddles hidden beyond the surf”. It is fear of the truth, sometimes by sheer association of the gross misuse of religion by those in power to manipulate the population at large which acts to fuel our animosity towards one another and give religion a negative association which takes away it’s power and purity for the people who would otherwise embrace it and live lives of higher morality, tolerance for their fellow man and love. We assign the role of enemy as evil to each other and feel a great satisfaction that we are doing all we can to be good people, when deep down in the farthest reaches of our hearts and souls, we all know it’s a lie. The reasoning and justifications from every enemy of every war in the entire history of humankind- once the outer layers of that reasoning is compromised, holds the simple argument that we are the good guys and the other side is evil. Towel Heads, Blue eyed devils, Nazis, Jews, Imperialists, Capitalist Pigs - it doesn’t matter - the arguments are all the same because they all rely on mass collusion and self-deception to fuel the self-righteous fervor. But these enemies are false enemies, and we as in “we the people” fall for it every time. False because the enemy is within us when we succumb to fear. But the solution is within us too, only we’re too afraid to see it.
What then can the source of this instigating evil force be? Mankind has asked this question since the dawn of reason. Is there a true evil, which exists outside the mind of man? Were we truly created by God in his image? Are there fallen angels now called devils or demons who roam the earth seeking the ruin of souls to prove a point to God because they are scared shit of him: FEAR! Every level of existence whether psychological, intellectual, spiritual biological chemical or of some yet unknown physical nature operates on the same principal. Einstein tried to prove that scientifically, but wasn’t allowed to finish for some reason. Maybe because then we wouldn’t need faith any longer, as we would all “know” the truth and the game would be over. The endgame doesn’t have to be checkmate. There is enough here for everyone, if we had the willingness to make that simple profound decision.
I invite anyone reading this to attempt to prove any of these theories against any other belief system. Political beliefs are delusional realities, which cannot be proved. Each salves the psychic wounds of its possessor and is a matter of either association at birth or taste. Within them there is no right and wrong only right and left. Sadly no one can prove scientifically that his or her approach is real. It’s all just war, like viruses fighting for as much of the host as they can win in order to gather strength increasing their survival potential by surrounding themselves with more of their own kind. It is a biological survival instinct run amuck by extreme intellectualizing or blind belief – take your pick – Both are based on and victims of FEAR. Polarization is necessary for all activity to occur scientifically and as all mechanisms, whether political, social, chemical, mental, philosophical or biological, they function on the same principal. That’s the grand scale of what Albert Einstein was trying to prove with the unified theory.
But like I said, my radical thinking transcends both the left and the right. Mark Twain said that, “Democracy is the worst form of government ever invented, except for all the others.” And he’s right, only Democracy is still a lie, and that was his clever poetic Twain way of saying so! Edmund Burke said that No passion so effectually robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning as fear. Another pretty smart man named Bertrand Russell said thar “Fear is the main source of superstition, and one of the main sources of cruelty. To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.”
When the shit hits the fan, we should strongly consider the advice of Saint Pio of Pietrelcina. “Pray, Hope and Don’t Worry.”

Peter:
The whole but about the Illuminati in this piece is, well, a bit tongue-in-cheek. I don’t really believe in conspiracies, so much a I think they can sometimes be a useful lens through which to criticize current affairs.
