Om K --[5]-- The Conspiracy Revisited Obviously, I do not propose that a monolithic, unerring conspiracy is at work, nor do I propose that all of the events which favor the conspirators were instigated by the conspirators. Instead, what this document reveals is a network of affiliations and alliances, some strong and some weak, some advertised and some secret, that is working toward a common goal of world rule by oligarchy, with varying degrees of coordination, coherency, and internal contention. It is a conspiracy, but one of humans, hence neither monolithic nor unerring. Moreover, the core of the conspirators has nothing approaching absolute authority. Even the most powerful among them - the first-tier international bankers and the intelligence apparatus they control - must often ``sugar-coat'' their directives, and must always choose them carefully. The myriad interlocking subconspiracies one encounters while exploring this compilation are arranged in interlocking hierarchies. There is no clean command hierarchy in general; in fact there is a degree of incoherency and fluctuation in the command topology. Subconspiracies are linked by conspirators who are members of multiple subconspiracies, and these crucial links between pairs of subconspiracies have explicit knowledge of the existence and role of each of those subconspiracies. Though it is obviously not monolithic, omnipotent, omniscient, or unerring, it is nonetheless obligatory to consider the collection of subconspiracies as one single, huge conspiracy, protected from itself by compartmentation. It is a huge, global network of secretive manipulation, and it lurks behind most decisions of political, social, or economic consequence. At the top of the most important of these constituent hierarchies is the House of Rothschild and their instruments of control, preeminent among which is Bilderberg. Why do people listen to the Rothschilds? Because they are very, very rich. The Rothschilds have turned much of the world into a game of scuffling - and sometimes stampeding - around them frantically. The Rothschild apparatus is also very effective in co-opting key personnel and placing manipulable individuals in key positions, and has a vast repertoire of highly refined blackmail and bribery techniques. Among the conspirators - and indeed, among the population at large - only a tiny handful of brilliant intellectuals are able to divorce themselves, with anything approaching thoroughness, from the shackles of contemporary culture. The rest are not substantially more capable of objective thought than are those they rule, or those who rule them. In short, the bulk of the elite - including most of those typically viewed as the most powerful - live and think within the bounds of the culture that came to be by the accumulation of accidents, the machinations of earlier generations of power brokers, and most importantly, by the contributions of great innovators. J. Orlin Grabbe's chaos essay cautions us not to reflexively conclude that ``what appears as chaos is a hidden agenda of historical or prophetic forces that lie behind the apparent disorder.'' By the same token, sometimes what appears as chaos is a manifestation of a hidden agenda. Moreover, Grabbe's caveat does not detract one iota from the logical inevitability of the conclusion that ``a series of oppressions, begun at a distinguished period and pursued unalterably through every change of ministers, too plainly prove a deliberate, systematical plan of reducing us to slavery'' (quoting Thomas Jefferson). This series of oppressions is not chaos at all, but intrinsically quite orderly. A common thread of state socialism runs through every grand conspirator plan in recent memory. This is easily explained. State socialism is a system in which a large population becomes dependent on the state for its biological survival. The conspirators expect that such a population will eagerly perpetuate the existing power structure (euphemistically known as the status quo). State socialism also sees to it that those who are indigent and unable to earn a wage - by reason of physical or mental infirmity, personality, or subjection to discrimination - are nonetheless fed, clothed, housed, and to a degree, entertained. Thus, pe ople who would otherwise be expected to threaten community order, or even launch revolutionary movements, are tethered to the state and pacified. The state and the elite thus have a vested interest in perpetuating a sizeable population of effective invalids, a goal which they achieve through social engineering targeting selected populations (e.g. black inner city residents), through manufacturing of illnesses (e.g. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), and through strategically contoured liberalization of benefit eligeability requirements (e.g. rewards for giving birth to children). A collateral effect of some of the social engineering is to create menacing populations, whose existence promotes conservativism and an expectation of increased state involvement in policing activities. Socialism appeals to lazy people, because it is a system in which the lazy suck the blood of the industrious, allowing the lazy to avoid exertion. Thus, in addition to instilling the entitlement mentality proper, the elites work to instill indolence among the public, so that in the ballot box, the indolent majority chooses institutionalized vampirism. Selective state confiscation of money from productive members of society is also wielded as a weapon with a utility to the elite completely separate from that of enabling socialism. This confiscation is effected either explicitly by income taxation and other mechanisms, or implicitly through the inflationary effects of printing fiat currency and distributing it to welfare recipients. In summary, elite support of socialism has nothing to do with compassion. No one of genuine, thoughtful compassion could support a system of institutionalized extortion. World Government People differ constitutionally in their moral sensibilities. World government, including the goal of a single world constitution, is irreconcileably incompatible with that reality. Even in the best case, world government installs a system wherein those who disagree substantively with the moral sensibilities of the ostensible world majority as delineated in a world constitution and statutory framework have nowhere to go. The entire world becomes hostile to him. In practice, almost everybody subject to a world government finds the world hostile to him, since the world's people are not morally split in two, but are in fact morally split into dozens of major moral alignments. One corollary of this is that a world constitution and statutory framework are incapable of reflecting the moral sensibilities of the governed. Hence, world government is unavoidably tyranny. The reader should not construe the above to preclude national membership and participation in international bodies of debate, especially regarding such common-interest areas as laws of the air and seas and laws restricting release of environmental toxins. It is key that no soldier of any nation be given over to the command of any body of international government, for any reason. It is completely acceptable, even encouraged, for nations to enter mutual arrangements of cooperation (principally regarding trade, travel, and immigration), and for soldiers to act in fulfillment of goals delineated by an international body of debate and agreed to by their nation. However, placing soldiers under the compulsory command of such a body of debate is a completely different matter, and fraught with danger. Similarly, subordinating the constitution and laws of a nation to those of an international body is anathema. Though proponents of world government target all the nation-states of the world, the United States is a distinguished target. Its individualist Constitution (specifically, the Bill of Rights) combined with its unique military and economic power, make it particularly bothersome for world government proponents. Thus, efforts to erode US society, culture, and military strength, are at a higher pitch than those in nation-states that do not so directily impede the world government agenda. The legal foundation of the United States grants to its citizens exactly those rights the conspirators want to take away - those rights which are prerequisite to individual innovation. Finally, that unique military and economic power is something the world government proponents would like to wield as their own - and of course, they already frequently do. One thing to consider, in discovering the debacle the United States and to a lesser degree the rest of the world have become (by deliberate intent or otherwise), is the sunspot cycle phenomenon. At the very start of a sunspot cycle, the sun's magnetic field lines are roughly like lines of longitude. As the cycle progresses, they are twisted around and around like barber pole stripes. At a certain point, the contortions are too much to support, the cycle ends in a discontinuity, and the simple longitudinal field lines reappear. (For the technically curious, the reason the contortions form is that the rotational rate of the sun differs by latitude.) Similarly, as modern society and culture winds around and around, becoming more and more contorted with intricately and inconsistently interrelated memes, it eventually reaches the point of insupportability, and a discontinuity - a social and psychological revolution - returns society to a state of minimal contortion. Perhaps it was this phenomenon that ended the Mayan empire. Today, the average American cares more about his lawn than about the national debt. What a fantastic contortion!

The views Rand expresses in this novel differ from my own only in occasional details, and much of the difference is a consequence of my more extensive and modern understanding of neuroscience and complex system dynamics, or (ir onically, considering her reputation) my higher benchmark of rational rigor. With Atlas Shrugged (1957), Rand went horribly wrong. Her description of the problem, and her description of a virtuous moral ethos, are almost without flaw. However, her proposed solution (abandonment, i.e. ``shrugging'') is definitively wrong. In writing and publishing this novel, Rand committed an egregious error. She entered a long period of profound clinical depression after completing it, and she never truly recovered. In 1993, J. Orlin Grabbe presented an essay on chaos to the Eris Society . In this short (under 4000 words) essay Orlin gives us a mental vocabulary with which we can contemplate and discuss the stances of and relationships between the players in the cataclysmic tale that is the subject of my compilation. More than that, he gives us an overhead view of where the lines are drawn, and what broad, fundamental moral and sociodynamic forces shape history and culture. Memes, Minds and Selves by Susan Blackmore describes one state of the art in psychology and sociology. Viruses of the Mind by Richard Dawkins is a 1991 treatment of memes, and directly addresses many of the memes discussed in this compilation. The Origin and Evolution of Culture and Creativity by Liane Gabora presents a model for how an individual becomes a meme-evolving agent via the emergence of an autocatalytic network of sparse, distributed memories. Autocatalytic Closure in a Cognitive System: A Tentative Scenario for the Origin of Culture by Liane Gabora presents a speculative model of the cognitive mechanisms underlying the transition from episodic to mimetic (or memetic) culture with the arrival of Homo Erectus. The Symphonic Architecture of Mind: Consciousness as Circulating Wavetrain by Daniel Pouzzner (the editor of this compilation) explains mammalian consciousness, in the process explaining much of mind, memory, and emotions. These papers are all technical to a certain degree, with much of the architecture paper being exceedingly technical and practically accessible only to those trained in brain science or neurosurgery. Innovism: A Primer summarizes the foundation of Daniel Pouzzner's ideology. A Brief Chronology of Collectivism by Eric Samuelson traces the intellectual pedigree of the collectivism that lies at the root of the conspirator ideology. This is a work of over 28,000 words by an attorney, and is very dense reading. Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars outlines the evolutionary descendent of the combat service support operations research effort mentioned above (the ``Harvard model''). It sets forth a macroeconomic vocabulary, scaffolding, and methodology, with a large psychological warfare component. It is presented as somehow official, though it is almost surely a hoax crafted by opponents of the Quiet War. Since the document is explanatory and academic, simply presenting foundational concepts and analysis, its source is immaterial in terms of the utility of the document, though it would be a separate and surprising revelation if it were proven to originate with the Bilderbergers. The document claims to mark the twenty fifth anniversary of ``the Third World War,'' and its 1979-May claimed date of publication is twenty five years, to the month, after the first Bilderberger conference in Oosterbeek. Thus this document is clearly intended to be understood as a Bilderberg manifesto, either in reality or, more likely, as a hoax not far off the mark. The Open Conspiracy: Blue Prints for a World Revolution, a 1928 book by Fabian socialist H.G.Wells, details the premise of the conspirators' strategy: ``The political world of the Open Conspiracy must weaken, efface, incorporate and supersede existing governments. The Open Conspiracy is the natural inheritor of socialist and communist enthusiasms; it may be in control of Moscow before it is in control of New York. The character of the Open Conspiracy will now be plainly displayed. It will be a world religion.'' Wells lays bare the idea that a conspiracy can be something that is largely conducted in the open, but protected from recognition by cultural camouflage. The Prince, by Nicolo Machiavelli (1469-1527), is a five century old handbook for the waging of psychological warfare on the masses by government elites. Many parallels can be drawn between Machiavelli and Kissinger. Sun Tzu's Art of War is an even older handbook for warfare in general, and the psychology of war in particular. This classic, written around 500BC, treats the methodology of deception extensively. David King has written a Guide to Objectivism which, though I have yet to read it in its entirety, looks very promising. Further Introductory Reading Here, from the London School of Economics and Political Science, Department of International Relations, International Business in the International System, is the course guide for Political Environment for Global Business. Also part of the class materials, here is The Global Shakeout by Michael Hodges and Louis Turner, a book that chronicles the economic and political consequences of the global marketplace. The Roundtable Pages explore the secret societies that crop up repeatedly in the compilation, emphasizing the psychological warfare aspect. I have not had a chance to read through all this but it looks promising and provocative. Ivan Stang's conspiracy manifesto makes for ridiculous, rabid, disturbing, and illuminating reading. Ivan Stang is a very visible personality in the ``Church of the Subgenius'' movement-of-sorts, and has a weekly radio show. Operation Vampire Killer 2000 is a compilation by and for domestic US police against the New World Order. It expresses and supports the conclusion that elite conspirators are working to orchestrate the ascension of an omnipotent world government in the year 2000. Kirk Brothers has a set of "Libertarian Writings." His essays expose and detail many of the affronts enumerated in the above catalog of conspirator tactics. The essays are "Social Security--Official Extortion ," "Abuse of Discretion--Invisible Treason," "The Time Bomb in Our Constitution," "Why and How America Must Collapse," "America's Healing Crisis--Kill or Cure?," "Why the Haves Are Rich and the Have Nots Are Poor," "Our Lunatic War on Drugs," "Covert Censorship in America and Censorship on Internet," "The Two Faces of Libertarianism and The Legal Insanity of Legal Insanity," "The Political Corruption of American Education," "Anarchy, Society, Government and Tyranny," and "Propositions for a Libertarian Constitution" Part A and Part B. Also, I have written a critical analysis of Kirk Brothers' proposed constitution . The above appearance of the term ``Libertarian'' prompts a warning. Capital-L Libertarians - those who align themselves with the platform of the Libertarian Party, and capital-O Objectivists - those who align themselves with the doctrine of the Ayn Rand Institute (as distinct from the ideal expressed by Rand's two great novels, which do not suffer from the corruption of the ARI) - are neither good nor reasonable people. They have in common the absurd doctrine that laissez faire economic practices produce a free market. Underscoring this insanity, they are ardent defenders of Bill Gates of Microsoft, whose marketplace tactics have made a free market in computer software impossible. The orthodox Libertarian/Objectivist doctrine, when implemented, results in a cosmology of massive transnational corporations, the annihilation of smaller competitors even when the competitors' products are superior, the effective annihilation of national sovereignty, the transfer of control over almost all real property including roads to private interests, and in summary, the installation of an unaccountable authoritarian oligarchy of universal corporate control. In other words, orthodox Libertarians and Objectivists grease the path for the Bilderbergers. It is also absolutely vital to recognize that the system of non-employee stock ownership, particularly in its logical extreme in which most of the public owns shares in mutual funds which consist of large shares in most stocks, in fact constitutes the core of communism: it is ownership of the means of production by the people, and control of the means of production by a politburo of those who vote the shares of which the mutual funds consist. That said, bear in mind that I myself am a small-l libertarian and a small-o objectivist, and agree with the LP and ARI on the majority of platform points - just not the portions thereof which constitute points of religious faith (first and foremost, the inane idea that unadorned laissez faire economics is compatible with the maintenance of a free market and individual self-determination). The precise codification of my value system is Innovism. --[more at site]-- Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam. Em Hotep, Peace Be, Omnia Bona Bonis, All My Relations. Adieu, Adios, Aloha. Amen.
