Individualism has gone, never to return.'' John Davison Rockefeller I, born 1839-July-18, died 1937-May-23 Reading the following is somewhat like a stiff drink for breakfast. Perhaps you would like to first read my agenda brief, which describes Innovism and compares it to laissez faire capitalism, socialism, fascism, and anarchism. This is the story of America's death by a thousand cuts. It is not the story of America; it is not the whole story; it is simply an unlimited hangout of a nefarious plot: a deciphering of the events of the Twentieth Century, revealing a national security strategy of self-immolation. America's domination of modern innovation is a consequence of precisely those trends and processes this nefarious plot seeks to undermine. Exposition The United States is the world's oldest surviving nation, insofar as it is the first constitutionally founded nation, and the birthplace of modern civilization. Many key chapters in the book of history have opened here, and most of those that opened elsewhere have already closed. The world now dances to an American beat, a beat that is oldest here where it began. America is the first of the modern representative republics, and the birthplace of federal regionalization. It is the pioneer of the assembly line, the age of electricity, the skyscraper, the nuclear age, the television age, the computer age, and the networking age, all of which are key components of the global status quo. The United States is the most important nation in the history of the planet, but it is weary and battered, from burning brightly, but more, from suffering the slings and arrows of those it has frightened and of those who have sought to domesticate it. The United States is at the vanguard of a downward spiral of morale and reason that will likely end in the spastic, catastrophic collapse of civilization. The United States will also likely be the first to start anew, better, stronger, wiser. Modern American civilization is substantially shaped and controlled by the House of Rockefeller and a handful of others, the inheritors of the empire of influence and ideology founded by Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1743-1812), John Davison Rockefeller I (1839-1937), Junius Pierpoint Morgan (1837-1913), Andrew Carnegie (1835-1919), John Cecil Cecil RhodesRhodes (1853-1902), and a few of their contemporary cohorts. This control apparatus is directed at the highest (global) level by affiliates of the Bilderberg group, founded in 1954 and dominated by the House of Rothschild and by their collaborating, subordinate, far more visible rival, the House of Rockefeller. Bilderberg is the most powerful of the surviving descendents of the Round Table, a secret society founded in an 1877 will by the spectacularly chauvinist Cecil Rhodes. Rhodes was financially supported by Lord Rothschild and by Alfred Beit of de Beers (a Rothschild agent), and his vision was directly inspired by proto-Nazi John Ruskin, a professor of fine arts at Oxford. Georgetown Professor Carroll Quigley (1910-1977) maintains (in his voluminous 1966 tome, Tragedy and Hope) that the Round Table was formally organized as a semi-secret multinational anglophile society starting in 1908, and that its unifying principle was the oligarchical federation of the English-speaking world - evidently, the political, economic, and cultural reconstitution of the British Empire. This initial goal has evolved into the goal of oligarchical world federation. Despite the disproportionate influence of David Rockefeller and the Rothschild agenda he subtly conveys at each meeting, Bilderberg is a true committee, and the actions of its affiliates are driven by consensus which all involved can influence and none involved can dictate. Affiliates are not commanded. Their cooperation is secured through dialogue, incentives, and hints. Affiliates are chosen partly on the basis of their compatibility with this modus operandi. Affiliates of Bilderberg, and of the other major committees, establish symbiotic, often exclusionary relationships among the organizations they command or influence; the dividends of affiliation are enormous. Committee Cosmology An array of subsidiary committees, most famously the Trilateral Commission (TLC), the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), the Council of the Americas (COA), and the Royal Institute for International Affairs (RIIA), operate in a manner vaguely similar to Bilderberg, but with far less secrecy, and often de-emphasizing frank dialogue in favor of more formal policy addresses. To the untrained eye, the proceedings of a CFR colloquium (many examples of which are available on their web site) will by and large seem innocuous if not, indeed, crushingly dull. Embedded in these proceedings, however, is the agenda of Bilderberg, just as the agenda of the Rothschilds is embedded in the proceedings of Bilderberg. The CFR and RIIA themselves, as it happens, are the immediate progeny of the Round Table, Bilderberg is the immediate progeny of the CFR and RIIA, and the Trilateral Commission is the immediate progeny of Bilderberg. COA is a Rockefeller project for coordination of machinations in Central and South America, and though in one sense it is the progeny of the CFR, it is really more an invention without specific ancestry. Bohemian Grove can be viewed as a US version of Bilderberg (though it was founded in 1872, almost a century earlier), with tantamount secrecy and frankness, and substantially more fraternization. A constellation of foundations and action groups also research, develop, and espouse various aspects of the Rothschild and constituent Bilderberg and Rockefeller agendas, in order to develop and refine strategy, and to coordinate indoctrination, enlistment, and marginalization of sectors of the public, and in particular, of sectors within government, academia, and industry. These organizations benefit from and are accountable to the internal revenue infrastructure: in exchange for disclosure of their activities to tax authorities (in the US, this is the IRS, a conspirator agency par exc�llence), they are exempt from nearly all forms of taxation. Notable among these organizations is the Center for International Studies (joint organization of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology and the University of Zurich), prominent within and close to which are the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS, on Tavistock Street in London), the Center for Security Studies and Conflict Research, and the International Relations and Security Network (ISN). The Tavistock Institute (Tabernacle Street in London) and the Club of Rome are also notable. Stateside, notable are the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), the The Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS), the Institute for Policy Studies, the RAND Corporation, the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton University, the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown, the Brookings Institution, the Heritage Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the Carnegie Foundation, the Macarthur Foundation, the Soros Foundation, the Institute for Global Communications (IGC) and its component Association for Progressive Communications (an amusing point of trivia: APC supplies reverse DNS lookup service for Cuba's Centro Nacional de Intercambio Automatizado, NET-CENIAI), the John Birch Society (a scarecrow organization, only haplessly conspiring!), the Gorbachev Foundation, the Scaife Foundation, Media Research Center, Accuracy in Media and Accuracy in Academia, and Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting. Of course, most insiders in these organizations are as oblivious to the true nature of their mission as are those they fund or target. Organizations with agendas that coincide with some aspect of the conspirators' are nurtured and guided in an often covert manner, are often infiltrated, and are sometimes co-opted with the knowledge of an organization's leadership. Certain organizations, such as the CSIS, consist almost entirely of conspirators proper. The vast constellation of committees, foundations, thinktanks, academic centers, action groups, and media outlets, acts as a concept laundry, concealing the origins of Rockefeller and Rothschild agenda-driven concepts in the same way that a money laundry conceals the origin of money. With the concepts laundered, they appear to be to a degree organic, the product of natural political evolution and consensus. They are nothing of the sort, of course. Unknown to the vast majority of Bilderberg, TLC, CFR, COA, and RIIA affiliates of record, at least in its specifics, is a parallel apparatus of covert action, closely intertwined with the intelligence community (Central Intelligence Agency, National Security Agency, etc.), law enforcement community (Department of Justice, Secret Service, American Society for Industrial Security, etc.), certain elite secret societies (Skull & Bones, Nightstalkers, etc.), criminal and labor syndicates (AFL-CIO, etc.), cults (Scientology, Unification Church, etc.), and the middle and lower ranks of various industries. This apparatus protects and facilitates the activities of the affiliates, with the subtly menacing promise of accountability. Many of the visible council affiliates harbor vague, largely unarticulated suspicions of the existence of this parallel apparatus, and some even suspect its relationship with the first families of Bilderberg. A small proportion of affiliates deliberately and explicitly collaborate with the parallel apparatus, which like the councils is dominated by the Houses of Rockefeller and Rothschild. The Rockefellers generally attend to command and control outside Europe. The parallel apparatus is largely unknown to most members of the intelligence and law enforcement communities proper, despite its thorough penetration thereof, and despite the fact that a very high proportion of intelligence and law enforcement activities are the covert bidding of the conspirators. Certain dimensions of the Rothschild-Rockefeller agenda are pursued directly via this apparatus of covert action - particularly, those that are manifestly unsavory or criminal. In some contrast to Bilderberg and the other councils, this parallel apparatus constitutes an explicit, intricate, fluid, highly compartmentalized set of sometimes interlacing command hierarchies. Bilderberg proper is a command hierarchy only within actual corporate hierarchies, and is of course neither significantly covert nor compartmentalized. The total Rothschild-Rockefeller apparatus is structured in such a way that those who, by design, are public leaders and subject to public scrutiny - corporate leaders, for example - are generally given no obvious reason to perceive the apparatus as coercive or as a conspiracy. Those who are, by design, essentially hidden from public view - including most of the intelligence and law enforcement communities, and obviously, secret societies and criminal syndicates - are directly exposed to the coercive and conspiratorial character of the apparatus, but have no political capital with which to threaten it. There are a few positions of both threatening political capital a nd strategic criticality occasionally necessitating candid coercion. Major union leaderships and the presidency are prime examples. Uncooperative occupiers of these positions are periodically murdered by operatives of the apparatus. The Houses of Rothschild and Rockefeller, whose central occupation is international banking and finance, by themselves constitute the greatest concentrations of political and economic power in the world. These houses do not, of course, consist solely of hereditary namesakes. Henry Kissinger is a key member of the House of Rockefeller, just as George Soros is a key member of the House of Rothschild. Moreover, there is no sharp boundary between the two houses. Nelson Aldrich was a darling of the House of Rothschild, and became a member proper of the House of Rockefeller. The present-day fortune of the House of Rothschild is of unknown magnitude, perhaps the equivalent of many trillions of dollars, and the present-day fortune of the House of Rockefeller has been estimated at over a trillion dollars. J. D. Rockefeller I, the consummate collectivist patriarch, has been reported by mainstream media as the richest man to ever live, at an estimated $189 billion in 1998 dollars. The tale of the Rockefeller patriarchal dynasty is one of malignant evil. The tale of the Rothschild patriarchal dynasty is quite similar. The tale of their collaboration has no parallel in the annals of evil. This compilation is a documentary of Rothschild and Rockefeller machinations. America is no longer a functioning constitutional representative democracy, and its failure is due not to a natural decay of its citizens, but to the manipulations of these few pernicious elite. They are transforming America, and the world, into a giant steel trap that springs when, where, and how they desire. Moreover, American society in particular has been transformed into a small collection of massive cults, through a complex campaign of marginalization. America possesses, or possessed, a potent combination: 1. a constitution recognizing, for each individual citizen, freedom of speech, of assembly, and of armament, the right to fair and impartial treatment before the law, and sovereign private property rights 2. a vast military and economic might 3. a citizenry that is habitually inventive, to an economically disruptive degree Thus America is, or was, uniquely problematic for the conspirators. (1) and (3) are simply contrary to the interests of the conspirators, as will be explained in much greater detail below, and (2) makes control of America of paramount importance to them simply in order to safeguard their hegemony. America is thus a distinguished target. * Power structure research and analysis, and conspiracy research and analysis, are evidently one and the same enterprise. History has vital prosopographic elements, many hidden, and the organization of these elites indeed constitutes a conspiracy. The vagaries of individual elites have broad effects that echo through history. History also has vital structuralist/functionalist elements, many misunderstood or ignored, and the phenomena that frustrate and eventually defeat the machinations of elites such as these are inevitable consequences of the unpredictable and diffuse wellspring of humanity. The geneses of many of the cultural veins addressed in my treatment are predominantly the consequence of the natural cultural evolution of this unpredictable and diffuse wellspring, but as soon as a vein becomes politically significant, the elites start meddling with it. The instant conspiracy is not quite of the traditional variety. Like many conspiracies, its members do not all know each other, have sometimes conflicti ng conceptions of what is to be done, and have sometimes conflicting agendas. >From here, the distinctions mount. It is a largely ``open'' conspiracy, in that much of its membership, structure, methods, and operations, are matters of public record, however scattered and obscure. Its manner of coordination is atypical. Two nuclei - the elite core of the Wall Street clique (orbiting the House of Rockefeller) and the elite core of the European financial clique (orbiting the House of Rothschild) - coordinate this global conspiracy by waging psychological warfare on the rest of the conspirators, telling each no more than is necessary for him to fulfill his designated role, often with explicit recognition neither of his role, nor of the unarticulated rules that govern him. Thus, the overwhelming bulk of the conspirators do not know, but only suspect, that they are part of and in service to ``a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it'' (quoting Woodrow Wilson). About the Editor I am an independent system architect and system analyst. In the first half of the 90's, as an undergrad at MIT, I was occupied with distributed computing software architecture including applied cryptography, artificial intelligence including machine understanding of human language, and cognitive science including functional neuroanatomy (neuroarchitecture) and abnormal psychology. In the latter half of the 90's, I have continued my work on distributed computing system architecture and cognitive science. I have also trained myself in law, sociology, economics, political science, and military science, and have been applying the methodology of the system architect and analyst to the morally imperative task of reforming civilization. I was born in 1972 in Connecticut, and my schooling before MIT was predominantly government-operated. Since 1995 I have been an ovo-lacto vegetarian. I am a deist in the 18th century sense, and am an erisian (by which I mean, an adherent of the premise that chaos is part and parcel of life, health, and prosperity). I am the founder of Innovism. About the Compilation This compilation is intended for consumption by agile intellectuals, though I am certain it has been and will continue to be of immediate utility for those who do not consider themselves to rate such a description. I have largely avoided using specialized terminology, and where I have considered it appropriate to use it, I have made an effort to provide explanations or references. The sheer complexity of the topics and presentations is the principal obstacle that the non-intellectual will encounter in attempting to make use of this work. However, with sufficient patience and attentional investment, any intelligent person can reach a thorough understanding of these topics as I have presented them. Though most of my hypotheses are proven directly with contemporary sources that command popular respect, some of the composite hypotheses are proven using a systems methodology. Obviously, the broadest hypotheses require integration of those constituent hypotheses proven directly. At any rate, all of my assertions are accompanied by specific and compelling evidence within the body of the compilation, and most of them - particularly, those that conflict with the popular mindset - are supported many times over. I have spent thousands of hours composing this vast opus - researching, writing, and editing. It contains a great deal of information, in the form of essays, press articles, reference material, and a small selection of books. Much of this is information that influential people and organizations - principally, the subjects of the compilation - do not want you to have access to. Though they have not yet found a way to prevent you from receiving this information, they will surely keep trying. In light of this, I strongly recommend that readers with a serious interest make local copies of as much of the compilation as possible. The current total size is approximately 100MB. The schemes, trends, and phenomena documented herein are also immediately relevant to Britain, the European Union, and Australia, and these intimately interrelated regions are directly and often extensively covered throughout. When the treatment is US-centric, it is only a matter of preferential detail and depth, and is not the obtuse, arrogant, lamentably routine dismissal by Americans of the economic and cultural significance and relevance of the states in the above-enumerated regions. Regions outside Western Europe, North America, and Australia, are necessarily treated with less depth, and typically only when they are implicated in machinations that affect these primary regions. Russia and China in particular receive attention. My treatment should group Japan with North America and Western Europe and give it substantial coverage, since its cultural and economic circumstance is characteristic of this group, but Japan is as yet almost completely ignored. When there's fire in a crowded theater, it is well to shout ``fire,'' especially if no one else seems to notice the fire. Here I stand, shouting ``FIRE!'' This is not a drill. As William S. Burroughs said (in a short spoken word piece tracked on a Ministry CD single), ``There is nowhere else to go. The theater is global.'' There is no flight, there is only fight. I invite comments, corrections, and correspondence with those who share my interests. Contact me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Here is my PGP 2.2 key. Conspirators who are using this treatise as a reference manual are callous twerps. Not amused? Visit The Onion! Can't believe this shit anymore? You're not alone! The Onion's archives are a fairly thorough and like-minded companion to my compilation, in humor/satire format. The elite conspirators' vision is to transform world political and legal reality so that the historic role of the nation-state is played by largely sovereign transnational corporate trusts, to which nation-states are subordinate. Their envisioned seat of world government is not a United Nations but a United Trusts, a transnational oligarchy ruling from behind closed doors. This is the role for which Bilderberg fancies itself suited. In order to empower a global banking, regulatory, and managerial infrastructure, they cultivate economic interdependence at scales from the household to the multinational region, to a degree that cannot be justified by appeal to efficiency or profit advantages. Central to the vision is the economic and eugenical regimentation of world society. The plan, in summary, is paternalistic, feudalistic, oligarchical, techno-industrial world government. Most Bilderberg affiliates of record pursue this agenda unwittingly, and were it laid out for them clearly and concisely, they would find it congenial in most of its aspects. The most dreadful aspects of the vision - eugenical regimentation and feudalism - are not explicit or conscious Bilderberg programs, but instead are consciously pursued only by the nuclei of the conspiracy - the houses of Rothschild and Rockefeller. The conspirators' vision is substantially implemented, in each of its facets, today. They now seek only to make their control more precise and complete, its exercise less unwieldy and risk-laden, and its instruments and infrastructure more permanent and unchallengeable. The conspiracy protects its interests by cultivating public indifference and incredulity, or outright endorsement of an operational facet (manufacturing consent through the media-democracy engine), as regularly as by conventional secrecy, skullduggery, and foul play. Feeling insulted, and often sensing impending humiliation and mental bankruptcy, the indoctrinated public rejects the revelations of wise dissenters. * Cultural trends are initiated, and behaviors fostered, through three principal mechanisms: (1) by the mass media, which displays exemplary behavior, and creates the expectation that emulators will be socially and economically rewarded and deviants penalized, (2) by the education system, which explicitly and implicitly inculcates beliefs, thought patterns, and behaviors, and (3) by the visible social and economic hierarchies of society, through which behaviors are propagated through transitivity of authority. The manner in which the mass media and the education system instill behaviors is discussed extensively below. The manner in which social and economic hierarchies do so is fairly straightforward. The visible councils of elites are subjected to the behavior of nuclear (core) elites such as David Rockefeller, who either deliberately cultivate or involuntarily exhibit the behavior. The behaviors of nuclear elites such as Rockefeller are often directed by nuclear intellectuals such as Henry Kissinger; thus often it is the intellectual who is at the apex of the pyramid. Those in subordinate positions emulate those in higher positions, completely aside from any explicit directives. In particular, systems of reward and punishment are emulated. Banking hierarchies are highly formalized, and propagate behavioral directives by extending loans to the compliant and withholding them from the deviant. Moreover, the Federal Reserve (the central banking apparatus of the United States) has the authority to remove any banking officer that it determines to be non-compliant. When a superior determines to encourage, discourage, demand, or forbid among his subordinates a mode of action, thought, or awareness, those modes will be encouraged or discouraged among everyone below him in the hierarchy. If that superior is a nuclear elite, then these modes will be encouraged or discouraged throughout most of society. In this case, only those not within the conventional hierarchy of civilized society escape the brunt of the behavioral tyranny. Hierarchicalization is a memetic amplifier for people in higher echelons, and an attenuator for those in lower echelons. The memetic gain factor is not intrinsically correlated with the actual memetic aptitude of each individual; whatever characteristics favor ascension to higher echelons are the characteristics common to those positioned for high memetic gain factors. The characteristics are arbitrarily dictated by those who are already in the upper echelons of the hierarchy, and once those who exhibit them have ascended, the characteristics are themselves efficiently spread through society. The neo-orthodoxy and concatenated censorship-by-category of ``Political Correctness,'' briefly a subject of conscious contemplation and public commentary, has been so thoroughly consolidated that its dictates are now silently, automatically, and ubiquitously enforced, usually at a subconscious level. Free thought and speech are increasingly perilous indulgences. The intellectual totalitarianism of Political Correctness, having burrowed below the surface, is no longer challengeable. The institution of Political Correctness is typical of conspirator thought control strategies, in that it constitutes a predominantly subconscious meme complex. It is obeyed, enforced, and transmitted, largely absent the scrutiny of rational consciousness. Such subconscious social constructs are the meat and potatoes of Hegelian culture, but they cannot survive the scrutiny of relentlessly rational consciousness. In this context, mystic faith is a wall that places a cognitive model outside the scrutiny of rational consciousness. The designers of religions work to assure that most people are discouraged from penetrating this wall by a bevy of confusing and painful thoughts lurking just beyond. General domain meme complex evolution causes those meme complexes with these characteristics to thrive. Multiculturalism (by which I mean, the premise that a behavior within a particular culture is morally virtuous by dint of being recognized and treated as such within that culture - cultural and moral relativism, Hegelian anthropology) has become a religion - or more specifically, a sort of cultural doomsday cult - unto itself. But there are more insidious and profound instruments of mental censorship, preeminent among which is the cult of expertise. People in the professions, in industry, and in academia, are expected to direct their attention to a specialty, to refrain from concern or involvement with matters outside their specialty, and to view with disdain and suspicion those who do not similarly refrain. People who conform to these rules cannot but be cogs in a machine they do not understand. Generally, they cannot but haplessly serve evil. And particularly, they cannot possibly discern the identities and methods of the conspirators. Thus, the whole of society is finely compartmentalized. Underscoring this compartmentalization is the epidemic of specialized vocabularies. Each field invents its own selection of buzz words, specialized definitions, and often whole morphological and syntactic methodologies. The professional and academic world is thus divided into tribes that largely lack mutual intelligibility. Four striking examples are medicine, law, computer technology, and the military. Evidently, specialized language is appropriate in each of these cases, and there are inherent difficulties in interdisciplinary communication. It also must be conceded that the technique of specialization itself is effective at enabling certain types of innovation and productivity - though multiple specialization should be the norm, rather than the exception. But returning to the four examples cited above: the prodigious use and abuse of Latin in medicine and law, and the prodigious invention of semi-English terms and acronyms with unobvious meanings in computer technology and the military, often go far beyond the level of specialization warranted by practical considerations. In many instances, in these and other fields, it seems the very intent is to obfuscate. Moreover, the very rigidity of these specialized languages tends to constrict thinking. With freedom thus crushed between the quiet hammers and hidden anvils of political correctness and the cult of specialization (among other systematic constraints), the pacifier of an ersatz liberty becomes necessary. This, precisely, is the role of sexual liberalism (among other such pacifiers) - to toss the slave a bone. John Ralston Saul (RIIA affiliate) notes in Voltaire's Bastards: The Dictatorship of Reason in the West, ``These acts of personal freedom are irrelevant to the exercise of power. So in lieu of taking a real part in the evolution of society, the individual struggles to appear as if no one has power over his personal evolution. Thus victories won for these individual liberties may actually be an acceptance of defeat by the individual.'' Saul calls the system of specialization and encyclopedic formulism ``the rational approach,'' but this is a non-starter. Clearly, in refraining from concern for matters outside his specialty, a person abandons rationality. The true rational approach necessarily involves grand integration, and necessarily deprecates any form of degenerate censorship - the abandoning of a train of thought for reasons other than the determination of logical invalidity or of practical inconsequentiality. The counterpart to degenerate censorship is degenerate distortion (as faith, mystical ideation, etc.), in which a train of thought is continued beyond, and logically predicated upon, a premise that is known to be logically invalid. A vital secondary form of degenerate censorship occurs here, in which people refrain from recognizing logical invalidities - this is the central mental phenomenon of faith. Mental errors can yield results identical to degenerate censorship or distortion, but their commission as such is morally ambivalent, whereas fostering or deliberately practicing degenerate censorship or distortion is evil. * The conspirators cloak themselves in cultural camouflage, employing tactics for which they almost seamlessly maintain plausible deniability. Generally, an errant public attributes the results of their meddlesome actions to happenstance, or to motives viewed as essentially innocuous or virtuous. The design is irrefutably evident only in the pattern of results, or by actually showing proof of meddling. The public has been systematically conditioned to ignore such patterns, and to condemn those who draw attention to them (derisively calling them ``conspiracy theorists''). Thus, controlling access to and dissemination of information that constitutes proof of meddling suffices in large part to protect the conspiracy from exposure. The compartmentalization of the conspirators' covert apparatus assures that those exposures which do transpire cause only limited damage. The Contract You will have a handsome house, and a state of the art entertainment system fed with a constant stream of enjoyable movies and television shows. You will have fine food and drink, as much as you can eat, whatever sort you want. You will drive a fancy car with a fancy sound system - or you will let the car drive itself, with its built in navigation system. You will have a spouse who understands you and brings you pleasure. You will have ready access to euphoric drugs that have no ill health effects. Your medical needs, and those of your whole family, will be met whenever they arise, with the latest technology. You will have little reason to fear assault, robbery, or rape, as the number of such criminals will be nearly zero. Your children will all be educated, so that they too will be happy and raise families. Your security, and that of your whole family, extends seamlessly from the cradle to the grave. You will have all this. You will be entitled to it. You will have a right to happiness - not a right to the pursuit of happiness, but a right to happiness itself. You will have a right to healthiness - not a right to the riskiness of life, but a right to the surety of health. You will work at a job you enjoy, with people whose company you enjoy, for 32 hours a week. In exchange for the above, you will surrender your freedom. You will have no freedom of speech, nor of the press, nor the right to peaceably assemble. You will have no right to keep and bear arms. You will not be secure in your person or house from capricious searches by the authorities. You will have no right to start or run your own business, nor to be your own boss. You will be forbidden to invent or create in ways the authorities deem disruptive, and you will be forbidden to bear more or less children than has been authorized. You will be forbidden to read, view, or listen to anything that has not been authorized. If half of your countrymen enter this contract before you do, you will be automatically entered into it yourself. If your entitlements do not bring you happiness, you will be institutionalized in order best to bring you and your family happiness, and if this too fails, you will be mercifully euthanized. If you use your property to exercise the rights and freedoms you have surrendered, or that your countrymen have surrendered on your behalf, you will be relieved of that property. If you persist in exercising the rights and freedoms you have surrendered, it can only be because you are unhappy, so you will be institutionalized in order best to bring you and your family happiness. If this fails, you will be mercifully euthanized. This offer is for a limited time only. Act now, operators are standing by. Society is arranged so that the behaviors desired by the elite are more convenient or more profitable than the alternatives. The media and education apparatuses are used to manipulate popular perception in a manner that discourages undesired behavior and encourages desired behavior, and laws and corporate policies are subtly - or sometimes, blatantly - formed to alter the relative profitabilities of behaviors. Media campaigns leverage particularly off the tendency of people to be concerned with others' unreasoned opinions; this tendency is, of course, encouraged. Over time, a majority of the population comes to abandon the undesired behaviors and exhibit the desired behaviors, without having been forced to. Once the cooperation of a majority of the population has been secured, a campaign is often waged to enact a prohibition of the undesired behavior, often incrementally through increasingly onerous impediments. These measures will have no effect on a majority of the population, since most have already abandoned the behavior. They are thus not inclined to actively oppose a campaign for prohibition. Once the prohibition campaign is underway, the media and education campaign is subtly changed, from one primarily intended to manipulate people into abandoning the undesired behavior, to one primarily intended to manipulate people to view those who engage in the undesired behavior as a threat. This secures the support for prohibition among a majority of the population. The minority that resists the campaign for prohibition is ostracized and vilified, and in some cases actively harassed and persecuted by the state, allied private corporations, and the community, annihilating its last vestiges of political capital. Frequently, no explicit prohibition is necessary. Through the concatenation of ostensibly non-prohibitive impediments, the undesired behavior can be made practically impossible. This technique is particularly effective in suppressing complex commercial and political activities. Compared to explicit prohibition, it has the advantage that supporters of the effective prohibition can technically - though disingenuously - claim that the undesired behavior is ``perfectly legal.'' Many of the conspirators' strategies are so complex and subtle that few are capable of understanding them even as a purely intellectual exercise. Moreover, some of their strategies strike the layman as plainly outlandish, with their actual effectiveness evident only to serious economists and sociologists. The stock markets are used to camouflage and orchestrate economic manipulation, though only publically traded companies are directly subject to this mechanism. The vested management of a publically traded company find their paper wealth multiplying when they act in a manner that receives the approval of the conspirators, and find it withering when the conspirators disapprove. Stock markets are largely Hegelian systems, in that the price a market participant pays for a share of a particular stock is a function of what he believes other market participants will pay for that share in the future. This makes share price imminently susceptible to manipulation through a variety of mechanisms, including mass media outlets, particularly those specializing in business and finance. Using the mass media, civilization is placed within a cultural feedback loop filtered as directed by the elite. Over the course of decades, culture drifts in the directions they intend. At any given instant of the progression, there is a substantial supply of program generators (script writers, directors, producers, talent, song writers, etc.) who, due to their immersion in the previous generation of elite-filtered programming, readily produce programming consistent with the elite vision of next generation culture. It is to their products that the masses are exposed. The course of cultural evolution appears to be largely organic, but is in fact nothing of the sort.
