We all know the old saying about something being part of
the problem if it is not part of the solution. Such
theories as this one below, while interesting, to some
minds at least, is unprovable either way & thus not part of
the solution. I do not mean that I don't have interests
that are not part of the solution, because I do. But what I
am saying is that it is useful in one's own mind to at
least be straight about the difference between information
and fields of inquiry that are essential/backed by
empirical data and that which is inessential and
irreduceably speculative.
I am often reminded - in thinking about myself, this is -
of that great film, "The Bridge Over the River Kwai". The
character played by David Niven - a fine man of character
and principle - became interested in a project he was
forced to work on while a prisoner of war. He became so
interested that he became "pro-project" - even though the
project was to blow up a bridge while one of his own
country's trains was crossing it! At least that is how I
remember it.
I have gotten so very interested in suppressed information
that my object or goal tends to evolve into study only.
One looses sight of the reason for the study - which it
seems should be - at this crucial moment in history - to
find ways and means to oppose the wrongs being done
globally, some of them in our names as Americans, and to
preserve out freedoms (and to preserve or reclaim those of
other peoples in the world), including that premier freedom
to keep what we earn with our own labor. Perhaps because it
is safer, the tendency seems to be to continue the study in
and for itself.
No offense is intended to the poster of this information.
As I say, I myself have devolved too much into the side-
line scholar. Another reason I feel we do this is because
we don't know what else to do. Really we are 'fresh out of
ideas.' But maybe it is time to 'put on our thinking caps'!

Nine hundred years ago, a band of Crusaders rode off to Jerusalem in search
of the Holy Grail and entered the ancient war of the Light against Dark,
Good vs. Evil. Having raged since time began, that war is about to involve
us again whether we like it or not. Do we run from it, or do we unlock the
ancient conspiracy that guards the Holy Grail of being before it is too late?
That's the question finally answered by two books, The Voice and
Afghanistan the End of Illusion.
Commissioned by Oliver Stone, the books originated with journalists Paul
Fitzgerald and Elizabeth Gould's adventures in Afghanistan during the
Soviet occupation. It grew into an investigation of the esoteric connection
between crusaders, mystical holy warriors, the CIA and pursuit of the Holy
Grail.
The Voice is a love story born of dreams with the Black Knight as the
mythic guide that foretells the next "Holy War" against Islam. The dreams
open a door to Hollywood's hold on image and reveals how perception is a
holographic vision of past, present and future.
Afghanistan the End of Illusion provides insight on the political roots of
America's Holy War against the Soviet Union and how that lead to the death
of that tiny nation. Together these two books provide an explanation for
"Holy War" that is of special relevance in today's world.
Behind the Voice
sample pages 1 - 3 of the research paper
"......None of the various theories of sociology which have inspired
Western thought in the last 80 years makes possible a complete explanation
of what is happening in the world today.
This is due to the fact that most of these doctrines have regarded the
evolution of mankind as an organic whole. They have neglected to take into
consideration an anachronistic survival of a creation of the Middle Ages
which is arising out of the distant past.
To speak of the actual Middle Ages as influencing contemporary events
brings a smile to the lips.
Yet, certain world wide economic currents can only be understood by the
disclosure of an entanglement of interests extending back to the Middle
Ages. This entanglement has developed a monster-like existence through the
course of the centuries.....and it remains a well-concealed, well organized
conspiracy with all its ramifications - a conspiracy aiming at world
conquest and subordinating all moral considerations to its aim.
To turn back to the Middle Ages in explaining world problems, might seem
fantastic to those who believe that civilization as a whole has experienced
considerable progress since then. Nevertheless. We must yield to the
evidence that it is not possible to explain a series of contemporary
phenomena without going back to their distant sources, some six or seven
centuries back. So much the worse for those who do not consider this a
serious method of investigation."
The Thousand-Year Conspiracy, Paul Winkler, 1943
THE THOUSAND YEAR CONSPIRACY
Even though Paul Winkler wrote these words over 50 years ago to explain
Nazi Germany as an expression of a thousand year "Teutonic Conspiracy" to
rule history, the sense that some secret agenda, some invisible hand turns
the pages of American history - seems today to "feel" uncomfortably familiar.
JFK, Vietnam, RFK and Martin Luther King, Watergate, Iran- Contra, BCCI
have all eluded the scrutiny given one Presidential candidate's sex life -
while the men who've perpetrated these crimes disappeared in a "wisp of
smoke " - only to emerge time after time, unscathed and unrepentant - ready
once again to shake the public facade of the institutions to which we trust
our lives.
But what if these men, these events, as disruptive as they seem on the
surface, are not isolated accidents of corruption or greed, or even misuse
of the government, but are evidence of a hidden agenda within Western
society itself.
And what if as Winkler says about Nazi Germany, the agenda cannot be fully
appreciated unless one examines "the entanglement of interests extending
back into the past, perhaps even to the Middle Ages?"
It's naive to assume that in an era when American subs patrol the deepest
oceans, American satellites spy on every land mass, that a secret
"brotherhood" of Teutonic Knights should alone have plotted world conquest.
The British "aristocracy's" control of world commerce for hundreds of years
was certainly no accident, while The Julian family's control of the Roman
"Republic" was a case study of plotted subterfuge.
That an "elite" within America should "conspire" for world supremacy should
come as no great surprise. That it has managed to cloak itself entirely in
secrecy does. But what of this elite's interests "extending into the past?"
What conspiracy could be so elaborately constructed, so secretly harbored
inside the Democratic institutions of the United States that it could
extend back even before the American Revolution to beyond the first Crusade
and see the Kennedys as a threat?
The question indeed risks a smile on contemporary lips. But the question
needs to be asked, particularly when there is mounting evidence that many
events, not just the Kennedy assassinations, can only be explained by such
a conspiracy: A conspiracy so profound and pervasive that all the players,
even the opposing ones, acquiesced in a cover up, rather than risk the ruin
a thorough investigation would bring.
FOR LOVE OF PLATO
"In all probability a young man would say to himself in the words of
Pindar, 'Shall I by justice or by crooked wiles climb to a loftier
stronghold, and having thus fenced myself about, live my life?' For the
common opinion declares that to be just without being also 'thought' just,
is no advantage to me....where if I am 'unjust' and get myself a name for
justice, an unspeakably happy life is promised me.
Very well then; since the outward semblance overpowers the inward
reality....I must therefore draw around me a picture of virtue to serve as
frontage, while behind me I must trail the fox with it's cunning and
shiftiness."
"Yes but, it will be objected, it is not an easy matter to conceal one's
wickedness. No, we shall reply, nor is anything else easy that is great."
"To assist in keeping up the deception, we will form secret societies and
clubs. There are moreover, teachers of persuasion, who impart skills in
popular and forensic oratory; and so by fair means or by foul we shall gain
our ends and carry on our dishonest proceedings with impunity."
Plato, The Republic. Book II p.48
Common 20th century interpretation of Plato's argument assumes Plato is
merely stating a case for 'secret societies', not recommending them.
While desiring to agree with these assumptions, it must be pointed out the
response his argument elicits does not effectively rebut the need for
secret societies and secondly that modern purveyors of this assumption are
indeed.... "teachers of persuasion, who impart skills in popular and
forensic oratory." And of course are well schooled in Neo-Platonic thought.
In addition it might also be revealed that Plato, the single most important
thinker in Greco-Christian morality and civilization was himself an
initiate in an exclusive all male 'secret society' known as the "Orphic or
Eleusian Mysteries."
"He mentions them several times with reverence and his teachings appear in
many ways to have been inspired by them." Winkler, p.264
While the 'secret' of the Mysteries was carefully guarded and their
exposure punishable by death, it is written they were held by an Orphic
brotherhood who brought the secrets of the Pharaohs from Egypt and that
they involved a great number of ascetic rules in which the mysteries were
revealed in Seven Degrees.
Some Greek authors actually credit the teachings of the Mysteries with
having brought forth civilization itself.
The reason for the secrecy was justified in the following manner by the
ancient Greeks. "Truth is of divine origin and is revealed only to the few
who make the necessary effort to get close to it. Having received the truth
with no effort they would not appreciate it and might misuse it." Winkler.
The motive attributed to the Greeks might be considered noble by those who
were possessed of the higher learning. But the suspicion is that these
mysteries somehow disadvantaged the population at large and required
secrecy for fear that truth might turn the population against the secret
brotherhood that possessed them.
Whatever the ultimate purpose of the Mysteries in Greece and their secret,
they served to establish by rational argument an exclusive 'esoteric'
religion for the few, while relegating the uninitiated to simplistic
'exoteric' religions; thereby establishing the philosophical basis for
secret societies to be constructed within the framework of both the modern
church and state from it's inception. i.e. to give "civilization" an
outward appearance for public consumption and an inward program for the
initiate.
What that inward program really is and why warfare and assassination would
become a vital part of it's expression is what the "Voice" will soon reveal.
About The Authors
"We were budding, hard-edged truth seekers--the first Americans to get a
film crew into Soviet occupied Kabul after the invasion of Afghanistan in
1979," authors Fitzgerald and Gould point out. They wondered what motivated
the instigators of this war to bring the world to the edge of Armageddon on
the eve of the millennium.
According to Fitzgerald and Gould, "After years of struggling with that
tragic story, The Voice was to be our attempt to escape the madness of that
war. Inspired by the Joseph Campbell's Power of Myth, we would plunge into
a story of myth and legend, leaving the world of geopolitics and hard-edged
journalism behind. But instead of an escape, our search began to reveal
deeper, far-reaching motives for those events that modern journalism only
touches on."
As member of same Fitzgerald family as John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Paul
carries the Grail quest as it was brought to Ireland by ancestors in 1170
A.D. Camelot was an allusion to the Fitzgerald family's connection to the
Holy Grail. If the last Fitzgerald Earl of Desmond had married Mary Queen
of Scots as planned, it would unite a Catholic Ireland and Scotland against
a Protestant England. The Quest pitted Queen Elizabeth I of England against
the houses of all Geraldines, especially the Fitzgeralds. The Fitzgeralds
were crushed to destroy their claim to the Grail. Using dreams, visions,
the authors approached myth vs. reality so uniquely that Pulitzer Prize
winning Harvard Professor Dr. John Mack described them as Mytho-Poetic
Radar Team. They lived the Grail mythology and understand its meaning at
dawn of the new millennium.

Subjects From The Book
Good vs. Evil - Dreams, visions, Fitzgerald family, Camelot. Why was JFK
assassinated? U.S. Congress acknowledged the Mujihadeen for "Mystical
Communications network." The world is moved by the bloodshed of holy
warriors, secret societies and zealots who want to deliver the Apocalypse.
Laser beams, cell phones, internet, microchip implants, biotechnology,
millennium dome, holograms. Technology is the new law, bringing the planet
into global uniformity through a network of electronics. Was this a plan
conceived millennia ago by a secret brotherhood going back to ancient Egypt
to control the world? It is the Matrix: new age, spiritualism, mysticism,
scientific, rationalism, all trying to control time, matter, and death.
