This is a personal statement.
Those who know Golding's
Lord of the Flies will recognize Jack, the boy most likely to go wrong, the ultimate pragmatist who is susceptible to self-power and self-aggrandizement.
While we're all susceptible to flattery, there are two main types for whom it is more than this – those who need it like a drug and those who need to give it to score “brownie points”.
Julia Middleton is of the latter type, not a natural leader but still highly ambitious and highly driven, willing, like
Chippy, to sell her master down the drain in her eagerness to get on. What her group's modus operandi represents is a giant, Europe wide talent quest – a quest for flawed talent, such as the Emperor saw in Anakin Skywalker [and this type likes that sort of imagery as well – Lords of Time strutting the Imperial Cosmos, gliding effortlessly in dark robed splendour, crushing the skeletons of the slain foe who had the temerity to oppose The Power].
It's this hunger to be someone special over and above the common throng which allows Ralph to become a brownshirt in the Sound of Music. It's this constant talent spotting by those above, this search for “leadership”, from the Bilderbergers commented on by Etienne Davignon in this exchange:
Additionally, [the journalist] says, "all the recent presidents of the European Commission attended Bilderberg meetings before they were appointed." Davignon's response: He and his colleagues are "excellent talent spotters."
... to the Campaigning in Schools programme [with its Deutsche Bankfunding] which quotes this as an example of how to campaign:
The energy and violence of the women’s campaign confounded the politicians. Many thought that the Pankhursts’ violence, arson, window smashing, picture slashing and hunger strikes made men even more hateful of women. In 1928, the year Emmeline died, women were granted the right to vote.
... this being taught to children, mind.
Two decades back I saw campaigning in full flight and I'll name the boy – Heinrich Zepter – whose mother was so driven she asked permission of the then Principal to hold a meeting for “mothers of gifted children”. About fourteen or fifteen attended and what became apparent early was that this woman was dominating the agenda.
Driven by deep resentment of her own son's non-recognition within the school as “gifted”, well-justified non-recognition as was universally acknowledged, even by the boy himself who wasn't a bad lad, she wasn't satisfied. The teachers were fools not to see the boy's hidden, latent talent. She could clearly see it and he'd shown his genius to her from an early age at home.
She'd force fed him reading, cranked up his home education and turned him into a highly brittle mummy's boy.
It's not the only susceptible type. The wrong 'un in society who's walked on the shady side of the law and wants to be lifted by the Great Hand to higher things, the ne'er-do-well, the simply ambitious – all are driven by the same motivation which is essentially different to a natural ambition to rise in one's profession.
There's a missing element here to the child the Campaigning in Schools programme are looking for, who displays the “leadership” required by Julia and her accolytes. And her vision? The vision of the Change they're forever rabbiting on about? What motifs run constantly through this vision, are to be found at every turn?
Top-down hierarchical structure and a militarized societyThere is a long tradition in Britain of separation of the state and the military though they work hand in glove at the upper echelons. But you know that Britain is not a militarized society in peacetime –
Orwell's quote sums this up [end of Chapter 14].
These people wish to alter the fundamental paradigm of society, to have in place hierarchical structures - for without them, there can be no ambition of the type they envisage. Their society is based on power and privilege, of a hand extended from above to lift up if the liftee will comply, will show “aptitude”.
And this aptitude includes selling one's own grandmother if necessary. There is more than one way to secure obedience to “the cause”:
1. promise of entry to and conditional continued membership of The Club;
2. promise of power and personal glory;
3. promise of personal comfort for self and family;
4. fear and intimidation;
5. trauma conditioning [MK Ultra type].
ArroganceAgain top down, you too can enjoy Lord of Time struttability, just as your superiors show you how to do – the General Douglas MacArthur demeanou, the great man, entourage in tow, deigning to visit the plebs, minimal wave in passing. You too can enjoy “respect” in which you confuse recognition of the held position with respect for your person, for you yourself.
For a person with the personality traits already outlined, a flawed personality which craves deference to an abnormal degree, the top down structure is like a home, a dog-eat-dog home where one is constantly clawing one's way up and “doing what's necessary” along the way.
Clyde Barrow was one of these. He'd have fitted into 30s Germany quite neatly, had he been given the opening.
And it is disdainful and employs low vernacular - look at Middleton's "jerk in the corner" references. This is Goering again, this is all the lowlifes who see themselves as "the elite", as distinct from the genuine elite. These are, as DK said, a bunch of amateurs but they can still do enormous damage because their propaganda works them into positions of influence.
Warped vision and change for the sake of changeChristie's words put in the mouth of her Inspector Grant [N or M] are apt:
We want to do away with muddle and inefficiency. With bribery and corruption. With self-seeking and money-grubbing — and in this new state we want people like you and your husband — brave and resourceful — enemies that that have been, friends to be.
You would be surprised if you knew how many there are in this country, as in others, who have sympathy with and belief in our aims. Among us all we will create a new Europe — a Europe of peace and progress. Try and see it that way — because, I assure you — it is that way... His voice was compelling, magnetic.
And this feeling of being part of a New History, a New Dawn, a Brave New World, where, as Guy Burgess quoted to Philby's wife – the whole sordid, fetid mess of inefficiency, muddling and corruption will be swept away and the new society can take its place.
But the reality of this is, in Christie's words again:
"You do not know the force of the ... propaganda. It appeals to something in man, some desire or lust for power. These people were ready to betray their country not for money, but in a kind of megalomaniacal pride in what they, they themselves, were going to achieve for that country. In every land it has been the same. It is the Cult of Lucifer — Lucifer, Son of the Morning. Pride and a desire for personal glory!"
Christie's words, not mine.
This is a key motif and includes the suppression of Christianity or any other mode of thought which emphasizes people's inner spirituality. As Goering famously said about culture and it could well be said about spirituality:
“When I hear the word culture - I release the safety-catch of my Browning”.
Watch out for the keywords “superstition”, “suppressed”, “eliminated”, “eradicated”, “catering for all faiths” in this context. The Christian faith becomes mere superstition which is interesting because many of the pagan rites are based on this as well.
The Pseudo-Hegelian Nietzschean Modus OperandiMan must be struggling at all times. Peace breeds stagnation, inefficiency, corruption and must be resisted. The greatest lie of all must be perpetuated – the “balance' between good and evil, the need for despicable acts of violence to “balance” those of altruism.
Manichaeism re-interpreted and revised.
If there is no
crisis, one must be
created. If there is no natural enemy, then go into the Middle-East and deeply offend Muslim sensibilities with unnatural acts [in their eyes].
Create terrorism which allows, as
John Redwood observed, curtailment of personal liberty and freedom to speak, coupled with crimes against the earth and huge sludge heaps like the
Canadian tar sands. Lord of the Rings and the surroundings of Saruman's tower and his subsequent blighting of the Shire are good indicators of the Masters of Desolation mentality.
Devastated landscapes, Leonard Cohen visions of loneliness,
despair, cruelty and human wastage – this is the fruit of the vision. Deviant art, unnatural usages, warped human relations – you need look no further than Nazi Germany's upper echelons –
Nazi high society and there is some evidence of the same in other societies – look at
Thomas Hamilton, of Dunblane infamy, for example, in Blair's Britain:
"I believe that Hamilton was a major provider of pornographic photographs and videos to a ring of men prominent in Central Scotland, including police officers who protected him from numerous allegations of physical abuse at boys' camps and clubs he ran. They protected themselves after the massacre which conveniently ended in his suicide." [alleged by Sandra Uttley, paramedic, who applied to the European Court of Human Rights]
Jury's out on this one and yet:
* Some sections of the enquiry were subject to a 100 year ban.
* Former Grand Master Lord Burton said that Lord Cullen's official probe suppressed crucial information to protect high-profile legal figures. He said they may have belonged to The Speculative Society. Some had links to Dunblane's Queen Victoria School - where gunman Thomas Hamilton was allowed to roam free before the 1996 atrocity.
And Lord Burton revealed that he was bullied and threatened by other peers when he tried to raise his concerns in the House of Lords. "There's no escaping the fact that there's something sinister about the whole affair," he was quoted as saying, admittedly to the News of the World.
Soft evidence perhaps on that one.
On the current EU drive and that in the U.S. And Australia, there is always the same motif, the same handbook of instructions:
1. White-ant society and progressively cripple it's ability to fulfil its functions, e.g. JMB's comment that schools are no longer encouraging children to read;
2. Create a crisis, a dire threat to society and “our way of living, our traditions, our roots”, even when there is none;
3. Point to the now dysfunctional society you've worked tirelessly to create and suggest that “what this country needs is firm leadership” to sweep away all this disgrace and to set society to rights. And you just happen to have the very leaders required – Common Purpose graduates – who now quietly assume their destined and rightful positions beyond authority and over us;
4. Of course, society must make sacrifices to set matters to rights. Ask not what your country can do for you, ask rather what you can do for your country and the loss of a few privileges such as freedom of speech, freedom to say no, freedom of self-determination, is surely a small price to pay to be in thrall to the new flawed personalities set over us to assure that we think correctly.
The Quest for Obedience and Elimination of All DissentFrom the
psychiatric community to MK Ultra, the motif is the same – to reduce human beings to predictable, robotic units, devoid of free will. This is the ultimate First Goal, the Second Goal being to create a cannibalistic culture where humans turn on humans to do their masters' bidding.
P.G. Wodehouse described this well in his series of
wartime radio broadcasts which were anything but unpatriotic if you examine the texts spoken. In particular, his description of the French internment camp guards who were worse than anything the Germans came up with, this motif is seen everywhere – the
Croats, the Jews in the concentration camps offered life if they'd do what they did – it never ends.
In this is the final, naked cruelty and ultimate hatred for mankind behind all of this sad situation. That's what it all comes down to – hatred for mankind. Thus we have Rockefeller speaking of
reducing the population to 20% of current levels, thus we have the upcoming fresh water crisis, the very elements of life held in the hands of entirely the wrong people.
The point of the UK regionalization thrust was to
draw out the opposition, identify them, test out the extent of the opposition and to learn from and re-strategize for the next thrust which is far more subtle. This is what Common Purpose is about – the real agenda, not the political feints to draw out the opposition.
FinallyWhy not today, as it was in the late 30s? It's time, in their eyes for another go at the melting pot. It's happening as sure as night follows day and most people are tenaciously clinging to the hope that all will be well, that it couldn't happen in their time.
Look at the evidence, follow the available evidence from every political website and say it's not going this way.
Where is the place for those such as us, voices crying out from our weblogs? Our place is on the scrapheap of history, ignored and forgotten footnotes in a trampled intelligentsia, a trampled graveyard of free-thinkers and libertarians, classic liberals and peace loving, frail humanity.
Savour our last few years whilst we can, as we are progressively picked off by the Brave New World snipers. Hold firm to love, faith, hope, charity, good cheer, festive bonhomie, simple pleasures, family and abundant optimism.
Our descendants might even win through if we do this.
“There's an east wind coming, Watson.”
“I think not, Holmes. It's very warm.”
“Good old Watson! You are the one fixed point in a changing age. There's an east wind coming all the same, such a wind as never blew on England yet. It will be cold and biter, Watson and a good many of us may wither before its blast. But it's G-d's own wind nonetheless and a cleaner, better, stronger land will lie in the sunshine when the storm has cleared.
