The most successful tyranny
is not the one that uses force to assure uniformity but the one
that removes the awareness of other possibilities, that makes it
seem inconceivable that other ways are viable, that removes the
sense that there is an outside.

December 14, 2002 -Today's edition of As the World Burns Brought to You by The Bush Junta, Produced and Directed by the CIA, based on an original script by Henry Kissinger, with a cast of billions....
Today: Major updating of the Timeline - Excellent material sent in by readers!
December 13, 2002 - Strong earthquake shakes China - The quake, with a magnitude of 5.9, struck Gansu province at 9:27 p.m. on Saturday, the State Seismological Bureau said. It was centered below the city of Yumen, about 900 miles west of Beijing. No injuries or damage were immediately reported, said an official of the bureau. He would give only his surname, Wang.
Keeping Track of John Poindexter - The head of the government's Total Information Awareness project, which aims to root out potential terrorists by aggregating credit-card, travel, medical, school and other records of everyone in the United States, has himself become a target of personal data profiling. Online pranksters, taking their lead from a San Francisco journalist, are publishing John Poindexter's home phone number, photos of his house and other personal information to protest the TIA program. Matt Smith, a columnist for SF Weekly, printed the material -- which he says is all publicly available -- in a recent column: "Optimistically, I dialed John and Linda Poindexter's number -- (301) 424-6613 -- at their home at 10 Barrington Fare in Rockville, Md., hoping the good admiral and excused criminal might be able to offer some insight," Smith wrote. "Why, for example, is their $269,700 Rockville, Md., house covered with artificial siding, according to Maryland tax records? Shouldn't a Reagan conspirator be able to afford repainting every seven years? Is the Donald Douglas Poindexter listed in Maryland sex-offender records any relation to the good admiral? What do Tom Maxwell, at 8 Barrington Fare, and James Galvin, at 12 Barrington Fare, think of their spooky neighbor?"
Smith said he wrote the column to demonstrate the sense of violation he felt over his personal records being profiled by secretive government agencies. "I needed to call Poindexter anyway, and it seemed like a worthy concept that if he's going to be compiling data that most certainly will leak around to other departments and get used, one way to get readers to think about it was to turn that around," Smith said. What Smith didn't realize was that Poindexter's phone number and other information would end up on more than 100 Web pages a week later as others took up the cause.
Phone-phreaking hackers supplied details on the Verizon switch serving the admiral's home. The popular Cryptome privacy-issues website posted satellite photos of the house. Poindexter could not be reached for comment for this story, and calls to his home phone now reach a recording: "The party you are calling is not available at this time."
Since the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency began awarding contracts for the Total Information Awareness project in August, the effort has been criticized by both civil rights advocates and data-mining experts. The dispute over TIA seems to fall not along straight political party lines, but between advocates and opponents of the government's right to monitor its own citizens.
Former President Clinton expressed support for the project in a recent public appearance, while conservative New York Times columnist William Safire recently wrote a pointed editorial criticizing the idea. One Bush voter, speaking on condition of anonymity, said of the pranks on Poindexter: "If they're making him as uncomfortable as we are, good."
At Ole Miss, Trent Lott helped lead a fight to keep blacks out of his national fraternity - in a little-known incident now four decades old. At a time when racial issues were roiling campuses across the South, some chapters of Sigma Nu fraternity in the Northeast were considering admitting African-American members, a move that would have sent a powerful statement through the tradition-bound world of sororities and fraternities. At the time, Lott was president of the intra-fraternity council at the University of Mississippi. When the issue came to a head at Sigma Nu's national convention — known as a "Grand Chapter" — in the early 1960s, "Trent was one of the strongest leaders in resisting the integration of the national fraternity in any of the chapters," recalls former CNN President Tom Johnson, then a Sigma Nu member at the University of Georgia.
Hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets of Caracas to demand that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez quit, and show support for a 13-day-old general strike that paralyzed the oil sector. The crowd massed along two kilometers (1.25 miles) of a four-lane highway in east Caracas in what organizers called "the biggest demonstration in the history of this country." Chanting "out, out, out", waving Venezuelan flags, banging pots and pans, protesters had marched from various parts of the city toward the Altamira neighborhood, where three people were gunned down during a December 6 anti-government rally. Speakers launched virulent verbal attacks on Chavez, insisting his resignation was to only way out of the crisis dividing the South American country.
United Nations inspectors examined a record number of suspected Iraqi weapons sites Saturday as opponents of President Saddam Hussein met in London in a US-backed bid to forge a common front.
Israeli Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz headed to the United States for talks on military coordination in light of a possible war on Iraq, as the army and Palestinian militants traded punches. For his part, Israeli Foreign Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was preparing to visit western Europe next week for talks on Iraq and international terrorism. During his four-day visit to the United States, Mofaz is due to meet with US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, national security advisor Condoleezza Rice and UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, his ministry said, without disclosing details on the talks. The hardline defense chief's mission comes at a time of increased coordination between Israel and its chief ally the United States in anticipation of a possible US strike against Iraq. Israel is making preparations to protect itself against the threat of a retaliatory attack by Baghdad, as was the case during the 1991 Gulf War. Comment: You'd better make preparations to protect yourself against the threat of Nuclear obliteration by the United States! A nuke in Baghdad can have a long reach...
President Bush is expected to try to move swiftly to find a replacement for Henry Kissinger as chairman of a commission investigating the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks after the former secretary of state abruptly resigned Friday due to conflict-of-interest concerns. - Victims' relatives have made no secret of their wish that former Sen. Warren Rudman of New Hampshire be named chairman, Knoller says. They regard him as highly qualified and independent. But they say the White House views Rudman as something of a maverick, and has no intention of naming him, Knoller reports. One family group source tells CBS News the White House has even told Lott not to pick Rudman for the panel under any circumstances. The family groups hear that former Senator Bob Dole may be under consideration for chairman, Knoller says. The relatives' groups have been skeptical about whether Mr. Bush wants a full investigation of the attacks, with a potentially embarrassing report due less than six months before the 2004 election. - CBS News correspondent Jim Stewart says the relatives are insisting that the new chairman have no conflicts of interest with any foreign governments and be willing to stand up to the White House, if need be, and issue subpoenas to get to the bottom of what went wrong on 9-11.
Embarrassed by the abrupt departure of Henry Kissinger as chairman of the commission investigating the 11 September attacks on America, the Bush administration came under mounting pressure yesterday to appoint an investigator with real teeth to ensure what one victims' spokesman described as a "pure, transparent and purely independent" inquiry. The name consistently touted by the victims' families is Warren Rudman, a former Republican Senator and co-author of a report which warned months before 11 September of the risk of an attack on US soil. The White House has so far resisted his appointment, leading to suspicion that President Bush is not interested in an investigation that risks embarrassing his administration. -
The administration has promised it will move quickly to replace Mr Kissinger, though probably not before today's nominal deadline for filling all 10 commission posts. In the meantime, it is facing criticism – for its reluctance to establish a commission at all, for its appointment of so polarising a figure as Mr Kissinger and for its apparent efforts to protect the confidentiality of Mr Kissinger's client list. "The pressure put on the Ethics Committee by the White House was untoward," the Democratic Senate whip Harry Reid told the New York Times. "They were berating our staff, saying he didn't have to file because he worked for the executive. I mean, come on. What were they trying to hide?"
The Bush administration's decision to kill people suspected of being terrorists threatens to thrust it into a murky area of national security and international law that is almost never debated in public, because the covert operations at issue are known only to a small circle of executive branch and congressional officials. - Still, some national security lawyers said the practice of drawing up lists of people who are subject to lethal force might blur the lines drawn by the government's ban on assassinations. That prohibition was first ordered by President Gerald Ford, and in the view of some lawyers, it applies not only to foreign leaders but also to civilians.
Hi-tech arms 'would finish war in a week' - With an armoury including satellite imagery that can distinguish a tank from a bus, even through thick cloud, to microwave bombs that can destroy electrical and computer systems without hurting civilians, military planners preparing for war are confident that any strike would be completed in little more than a week.
Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat has ordered al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden to stop exploiting the Palestinian cause to further his own interests. In an interview with Britain's Sunday Times newspaper, Arafat said he believed bin Laden and his al Qaeda network were using the Palestinian campaign for independence to gain support in the Islamic world. "Why is bin Laden talking about Palestine now? ...He never helped us. He was working in another, completely different area and against our interests," Arafat told the paper. "I'm telling him directly not to hide behind the Palestinian cause," Arafat said.
The founder and leader of the Islamic Resistance Movement, or Hamas, said Saturday that Palestinian resistance against Israeli occupation has no need for Osama bin Laden's al Qaida, denying Israeli reports the terrorist network had recruited Palestinians. Instead, Sheikh Ahmed Yassin accused Israeli intelligence agents of enlisting Palestinian collaborators and labelling them members of al Qaida "to equal Palestinian freedom fighters with al Qaida people."
A French judge has opened a judicial file against President Jacques Chirac on suspicions of "illegal acquisition of interest" in ancient and complicated business dealings involving Chirac's former Rally for the Republic Party, Le Monde newspaper reported in its Saturday afternoon edition. The inquisition, reportedly launched Thursday by Alain Philibeaux, investigating judge in the Paris suburb of Nanterre, refers to Chirac indirectly as "X" -- in recognition of Chirac's immunity from prosecution as a sitting president, the newspaper reported. That immunity was reinforced Thursday, when a specially appointed presidential commission agreed it was unconstitutional to bring a sitting French head of state to justice, except in cases of high treason. The commission's ruling follows that of France's Constitutional Council, a high level advisory body. There is no law against trying a president when he steps down from office. But there is also no certainty when 70-year-old Chirac will do so. The president's mandate ends in 2007, but he may run for a third term.
President George W. Bush said Saturday that he would ask the new Congress to approve his proposals aimed at boosting U.S. economic recovery and helping Americans return to work. "We will not rest until every person in America who wants to work can find a job," Bush said during his weekly radio address to the nation, days after he reorganized his economic team. - Democrats said the change in leadership was a signal that Bush's economic policies were not working. The president said the economy faces specific challenges that could slow recovery and limit future growth. Many Americans have little money left over after paying taxes, and some have debt that makes it difficult to save for retirement, he said.
The US is offering citizenship to entice foreigners to come forward with information about terrorists. "The people who have the courage to make the right choice deserve to be welcomed as guests into our country and perhaps to one day become fellow citizens," said US Attorney General John Ashcroft. - The "responsible cooperators programme" would defer deportation indefinitely for foreigners with visa problems and would allow outsiders to enter the country and eventually apply for citizenship. Foreigners must provide "reliable and useful" information that helps investigators track down terrorists or avert an attack, Mr Ashcroft said .
N Korea raises the stakes in nuclear standoff - In a new escalation of the crisis over its nuclear ambitions, North Korea threatened yesterday to remove United Nations seals and surveillance cameras from its nuclear facilities without waiting for the UN to do so. While the West threatens war against Iraq, in part to prevent Saddam Hussein's regime developing nuclear weapons, North Korea is pressing towards a confrontation with the international community over its own nuclear activities. The sale of its missiles to unstable parts of the world was also highlighted last week when a shipment of Scuds to Yemen was intercepted at sea. Washington reluctantly allowed the missiles through after concluding that international law did not prevent the sale. -
On Thursday, Pyongyang declared that it would reactivate its nuclear power programme, including firing up a mothballed atomic plant which US intelligence believes can make weapons-grade plutonium. In a letter to the UN's nuclear watchdog, the Inter- national Atomic Energy Agency, the North Koreans asked the IAEA to remove the seals and surveillance cameras at its nuclear facilities, placed there in 1994 to monitor an agreement with the US which froze their nuclear development. The IAEA asked it to act with restraint and co-operate with inspections, but yesterday Kim Jong Il's secretive regime sent the agency another letter, demanding the removal "at the earliest possible date". It went on: "If the IAEA fails to expeditiously take measures to meet our request, we will take necessary measures unilaterally." Comment: Gee, since George and the Gang started using that word, a lot of other folks have been picking up on it.
A Cornell University researcher from China has been convicted of stealing biological materials used in a university research project and trying to smuggle them to his home country. A federal jury on Friday found Yin Qingqiang, 38, guilty of theft of property worth more than $5,000 and making a false statement to an FBI agent. Yin, a former postdoctoral research associate at Cornell, was arrested July 28 at Syracuse Hancock International Airport after security officers found more than 250 vials, test tubes and petri dishes hidden in his luggage as he and his family tried to board a flight to Shanghai. Prosecutors contended he stole bacteria and yeast cultures for making an enzyme known as phytase, a livestock feed supplement that scientists think will improve livestock nutrition and reduce phosphorous excretion in animal waste. His goal, they said, was to secure a research job in China.
David W. Carson (age 85) and Edward H. Powers (age 61) were prosecuted for, convicted of, and sentenced for criminal defamation. Their crime? Using false words as weapons against the mayor, by publishing their political feelings in a tabloid called The New Observer, of which Carson is the publisher, and Powers the editor. According to the New York Times, "[t]he verdict [is] the first time since 1974 that a news organization in the United States has been convicted of such a charge." - Among other statements, Carson and Powers asked: "Is gossip that Marinovich lives in Johnson County true?" Had Marinovich actually lived in the more affluent Johnson County, she would not have been eligible to be mayor. In fact, it turns out, she lived in Wyandotte County after all: Carson and Powers' insinuation was false. -
District Attorney Tomasic swore out a warrant, and had Carson and Powers arrested for criminal libel. As was proper since he had himself been a target (and was a complaining witness, Tomasic then recused himself (but query whether it was proper for the admittedly biased Tomasic to issue the warrant in the first place). - At trial, Carson and Powers claimed they thought it was true that Marinovich and her husband did not live in Wyandotte County. The jury didn't buy it, though, and on July 17 of this year, found them guilty of all seven counts. - According to the AP, Farris told the jury, in his closing argument, that "You can't print a lie," explaining, "That's a crime in the state of Kansas and it's a misdemeanor -- some of us wish it was a felony." [...]
The operative statutory language for this case reads: "Criminal defamation is communicating to a person orally, in writing, ... information, knowing the information to be false and with actual malice ... tending to deprive such person of the benefits of public confidence." Nevertheless, if the extremely broad Kansas statute goes up to the U.S. Supreme Court, it may well be upheld. After all, the Rehnquist Court has never (to my recollection, at least) encountered a criminal statute it did not like, and is strongly in favor of state and local power to punish what is within the purview of a given state or locality. [...]
The First Amendment bar would be far better served to focus on getting all state legislatures to adopt a model criminal defamation law that addresses the truly criminal situations, such as those outlined above, and steers clear of legitimate media coverage. Instead, they usually take a position that provides a refuge for scoundrels. Indeed, referring to the culprits as scoundrels is too kind: These advocates would provide a haven for true criminals -- those who use words as weapons to hurt others, and are effectively immune to civil remedies.
Debunkery, Disinformation and Damage Control at its finest! - Fears Mount Over 'Total' Spy System - Notice how everything that was noticed by anybody is explained away as just a "misunderstanding" fostered by "a combination of left-wing activists, Islamist sympathizers of terrorist groups, civil libertarians, gun-rights advocates and mainline conservatives." Yes indeedy - George Bush and the Warmongers are just trying to protect us! Yeah, right. Add Waller to the list of possible CIA "assets." Just to get a general overview, have a look at our Timeline which has just received some major updating and is a work in progress.
Actors Say Hollywood's Being 'Pressured' to Make War Movies - Two American actors reportedly said the Bush administration is pressuring Hollywood to make war movies and violent films to "push" its war machine. - Harry Belafonte and Danny Glover told a press conference there is a struggle within the U.S. movie industry for "quality" versus movies "that bring in large amounts of money." -
They pointed out that Hollywood is presently controlled by huge corporations that determine what movies audience will or will not see. According to Radio Havana, they also said the war movies and violent films that are now in fashion are "molded by the interests of the Pentagon and the White House." -
Belafonte told reporters that, "More and more Americans are opposed to the war machine driven by (President) George W. Bush." He was quoted as saying, "The (anti-war) movement is growing among intellectuals and university students and expanding to many other sectors as well." Belafonte added that the Sept. 11 tragedy provided an "excuse" for Bush to move ahead with plans "to control the world militarily, economically and culturally." -
Belafonte added that the Sept. 11 tragedy provided an "excuse" for Bush to move ahead with plans "to control the world militarily, economically and culturally."
It is not the first time Belafonte has criticized the Bush administration. Last October, on a San Diego radio talk show, he criticized Secretary of State Colin Powell, comparing him to a house "slave."
"Colin Powell's committed to come into the house of the master," Belafonte said. "When Colin Powell dares to suggest something other than what the master wants to hear, he will be turned back out to pasture.
"In the days of slavery, there were those slaves who lived on the plantation and were those slaves that lived in the house. You got the privilege of living in the house if you served the master ... exactly the way the master intended you to serve him," Belafonte said.
Lawsuit for stalking and rape filed against Dubya on December 3, 2002 - I can't guarantee it is real, but it was sent to us and it looks real... Later: Yes, it's real. See: A Fort Bend County woman files a lawsuit on former Governor and current sitting President George W. Bush. Comment: If it's true, then Dubya is crazier than we all thought. But, from reading it, I have to say it sounds more like the plaintiff is ready for the rubber room. Pravda is having a field day with this one - and who knows - they may be on target. Those of you who have read Cleckley realize that true psychopaths seem to have a need to "refresh" themselves regularly with a "vacation" into filth and degradation. -
Pravda sez: There were some people in America, who tried to warn the American society that George W. Bush was not a mentally balanced man. They said that his conduct was suspiciously weird at times. Needless to mention that all those warnings stopped as soon as George W. Bush took the office of the American President. It was just said that it was a dirty elections method of his competitors. However, the society had to become concerned about their president after those warnings proved right. The White House press service had to think of many reasonable explanations to clarify Bush’s bruises or ridiculous slips of his tongue. Nevertheless, the monstrous acts of terrorism of September 11th made George Bush “innocent,” so to speak. He became a national hero - a sacred cow of the American democracy. Bush’s strange approach to the solution of various issues stopped being a surprise to anyone against the background of the patriotic outburst in the country. However, the people, who knew George Bush very well in his “pre-presidential life,” were not really surprised about rather a shocking piece of news. It became known that a resident of Missouri City, Texas, Margie Schoedinger, filed a lawsuit against the former governor of Texas and the current president of the United States. Comment: Now, for those of you who have read Cleckley's descriptions of the " hidden life of the psychopath," it all makes perfect sense.
Flashback! George Bush targets 60 nations in his war against terror, claiming that if weapons of mass destruction are not to fall into the wrong hands, up to one third of the world’s countries will have to dismantle terrorist cells and that America must be ready for “pre-emptive action”. [...] The arrogance of this speech and in George Bush’s discourse in general again rears its ugly head as the USA categorically declares war, in no uncertain terms, on any nation or group of people it unilaterally considers as “hostile”, namely any nation, or group of people, which does not walk hand-in-hand with what Washington dictates, whether this be in military, social, commercial or political policy. Comment: That certainly brings to mind:
13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. [Two horns? The WTC disaster? A big deception? The "excuse" for Bush to seize power?]
13:12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
[The "first beast" has been identified as the United States. Bush has seized all the powers of the United States into his own hands. "Worship" is "giving honor to," or "following" or even fearing...]
13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
[Either the WTC fraud, or an actual nuclear attack at some point.]
13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
[The first part suggests that the "miracles" are "deceptive" and thus we think that this refers to the WTC disaster which is a fraud from start to finish. The "image to the beast" is to become LIKE the beast, to emulate the beast, to become controlled entities of the beast.]
13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
[In other words, become controlled entities of the beast, support the policies of the Beast.]
13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
[In other words: "the USA categorically declares war, in no uncertain terms, on any nation or group of people it unilaterally considers as “hostile”, namely any nation, or group of people, which does not walk hand-in-hand with what Washington dictates, whether this be in military, social, commercial or political policy."]
Pravda: One would remember the USA’s involvement in the arming of the international terrorists who were the Mujaheddin, fighting against the legitimate regime of Dr. Najibullah in Afghanistan, led by Mullah Muhammad Omar and Osama Bin Laden.
One would remember the arming and training of the Albanian terrorists, the KLA, as they perpetrated unspeakable acts of cruelty against Serb civilians. One would remember the open military training and supply of the Ustache fascist terrorists of Croatia who massacred tens of thousands of innocent Serb civilians in Krajina.
One would remember the involvement of CIA-backed General Wiranto of the Indonesian Armed Forces in East Timor as US-equipped militia committed atrocities against civilians, even massacring hundreds of women and children who had taken refuge in churches.
One would remember the covert operations of the CIA in Operation Condor in South America, as fascist governments such as the murderous regime of General Pinochet were clinically placed in power, at the expense of thousands of civilians.
One would remember the arming of numerous terrorist organisations, by the USA, in Africa, to fight against the sovereign governments of their countries.
These policies are undeniable fact, these policies are immoral...and George W. Bush is either totally ignorant of his country’s recent past, or is a cheap, cynical hypocrite of the worst kind. Comment: Or he is, as observers and commentators suggest, a true psychopath.
Historic deal gives Europe 75 million new citizens - Europe sealed its historic enlargement to 25 nations and 450 million people last night. The deal followed frantic horsetrading over the subsidies to be offered to the mainly ex-Communist countries. After two long days of negotiations at the EU summit in Copenhagen, the Czech Republic, Hungary and the biggest prospective member, Poland, conceded, claiming they had squeezed more money out of EU coffers. "It was a good deal," said Leszek Miller, the Polish Prime Minister. "We are finally shedding the shadow of Yalta and the post-war division of Europe." Comment: Not only that, but Europe is preparing for the final act of the End Time drama: the destruction of The Beast Empire. Just as Plato described it, the ancient "Athenians" defeated the evil empire of Atlantis. In this "replay" of the cycles of history, America takes the role of Atlantis. So who is "Athens?" The European Union.
North Korea ready to deal "bitter defeat and death" to a threatening United States. - "The DPRK remains unfazed as it has made full preparations to cope with the confrontation and clash with the Yankees," a commentary in the ruling party newspaper Rodong Sinmun said. "The army and people of the DPRK with burning hatred for the Yankees are in full readiness to fight a death-defying battle," said the commentary, carried by the North's official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA). DPRK is the acronym for the communist North's official title, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. With more than one in 20 of its 23 million people in military uniform, North Korea is the most heavily militarized country on earth. Comment: And you can bet that they will back SoDamn Insane. Oy. Georgie Porgie sure has got us into a mess. Well, let's be honest. It's the Secret State, the CIA and other alphabet soup guys, of which Georgie's old man is one. Which reminds me: if George Senior were such a great guy, why isn't he slamming the offspring with criticism? After all, of all people, he should be able to see that Dubya is railroading the entire country into a Fascist State. His silence is deafening.
Aziz Says US, Israel Want to Destroy Iraq - Iraq accused the United States and Israel on Saturday of planning its destruction behind a smokescreen of accusations about doomsday weapons. "The Arab nation should not be deceived by false excuses voiced by America and the Zionist imperialism that they are launching aggression on Iraq to eliminate its weapons of mass destruction," Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Tareq Aziz said. "America and its ally, Zionism, are employing their means of deception in order to destroy Iraq," Aziz said in a speech at the start of a poetry festival in Baghdad. Iraq, he said, was well prepared to achieve victory "whatever the difficulties and sacrifices." Comment: Well, he's partly right. The United States ALSO intends to destroy Israel and are using Israel's favorite enemies as the carrot to gain the support of the Jewish controlled media in this country. It's a game as old as Time, played over and over again by traitors to humanity. A good example is Hitler's deal with Stalin - which he never intended to honor - to just steal Poland, eliminate the Jews and Poles, and get what they wanted: Lebensraum. Well, the Arab territories are the new Poland, and Israel plays the role of Russia this time around the cycle. And, of course, George Bush is the new Hitler.
For Victims of Vaccine, Winning Case Will Be Hard - People injured by the smallpox vaccine will be able to sue only one defendant, the federal government, and experts who have studied the relevant laws say it will be difficult for anyone to win compensation for injuries or deaths caused by the vaccine. In the Homeland Security Act, signed by President Bush on Nov. 25, Congress shielded doctors and vaccine manufacturers from liability for injuries suffered by people who take the vaccine. If the federal government authorizes use of the vaccine, the law says, anyone giving or producing it will be "deemed to be an employee of the Public Health Service," and the government will become the only defendant. An injured person can pursue compensation under the Federal Tort Claims Act, but lawyers said it would be difficult to win money under that 1946 law. "The government can probably escape liability for almost all injuries," says an analysis by Prof. Edward P. Richards and Dr. Katharine C. Rathbun of Louisiana State University.
An increasing number of federal agencies are pursuing plans to use pilotless surveillance aircraft to help patrol the Mexican and Canadian borders, protect the nation’s major oil and gas pipelines and aid in other homeland security missions. Incoming Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman John Warner, R-Va., said in an interview Tuesday that he will ask President Bush to explore the possible deployment of such aircraft, known as unmanned aerial vehicles or drones, by civilian agencies responsible for homeland security. The drones would be similar to those used in high-profile missions by the CIA and U.S. military to target suspected Taliban and al Qaeda operatives in Afghanistan. Comment: That's rich! That is exactly the type of aircraft that hit the Pentagon. And the programs that run them are exactly what was installed in the 757's that hit the World Trade Towers.
India launched a blistering attack on Pakistan for releasing the leader of a hardline militant group fighting Indian rule in Kashmir, as police killed two suspected Muslim militants in New Delhi. "It is quite clear that Pakistan is continuing with its policy of terrorism as an instrument of its state policy in violation of international law and its own publicly declared commitments," Indian foreign ministry spokesman Navtej Sarna said. He was reacting to an announcement in Islamabad that Maulana Masood Azhar, the head of Jaish-e-Mohammad, one of the most militant of the groups fighting Indian rule in Kashmir, had been freed. "Whether Pakistan has an unvarnished military dictatorship or an electoral varnish is put on it, their mindset and policies, as evidenced by the putting back in circulation of Masood Azhar, remains unchanged. "We will of course continue to take the necessary steps to safeguard our national security," Sarna said. Comment: Of course, this item is crucially interesting due to the role that Pakistan played in the World Trade Center attack as well as the role India's intelligence service played in uncovering the link between Mohammed Atta and the White House.
In the capital Seoul, an estimated 50,000 people crowded into streets surrounding City Hall, waving banners and giant US flags ready to be torn apart, and chanting slogans calling for changes to the controversial Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) which regulates relations with the 37,000 US troops stationed in South Korea. Student radicals among the crowd demanded the outright withdrawal of all US troops.
An Army helicopter on a training mission crashed while returning to Fort Rucker, (Alabama) killing two pilots, authorities said Friday. The U.S. Army Aviation Center said the AH-64D Longbow Apache crashed Thursday night about 12 miles from Fort Rucker's main post. The cause of the crash was under investigation. Fort Rucker, about 100 miles southeast of Montgomery, is home to the Army Safety Center, which investigates crashes of Army helicopters worldwide. The victims were identified as instructor pilot Don L. Brown, 48, of Enterprise, Alabama, and 1st Lt. Stephen J. Valent, a 31-year-old student pilot from Scottsdale, Arizona. "We are deeply saddened by the loss of these two pilots," said Lt. Col. James Bullinger, command spokesman. The pilots were conducting routine flight training when the helicopter was reported missing about 10 p.m. A ground and air search began after attempts to contact the aircraft by radio failed. The helicopter was found about 6:20 a.m. Friday in a wooded area. Comment: This strikes me as interesting after reading Dolan's explanation that many "training flight crashes" were related to UFOs. I wonder if any UFOs were sighted in the Alabama area at the approximate time of the crash?
More kindergartners getting suspended - One hit a pregnant teacher, another exposed himself and another stabbed a classmate with a pencil. - In the first four months under new schools chief Paul Vallas, 33 kindergartners have been suspended from Philadelphia public schools, up from just one during the same period last year.
Comment: Dare I suggest that this is a result of what the C's have described as an intentional breeding program designed to produce more Organic Portals? Are the kids known as "Indigos" or "psy-kids" really OPs? Is Dr. David Jacobs correct? Dr. Jacobs says that now, after all of these years of research, that he KNOWS what the aliens are here for and he is afraid. David Jacobs says that producing offspring is the primary objective behind the abduction phenomenon. Dr. Jacobs writes:
'Beyond protecting the fetus, there are other reasons for secrecy. If abductions are, as all the evidence clearly indicates, an intergenerational phenomenon in which the children of abductees are themselves abductees, then one of the aliens' goals is the generation of more abductees. Are all children of abductees incorporated into the phenomenon? The evidence suggests that the answer is yes. If an abductee has children with a non-abductee, the chances are that all their descendants will be abductees. This means that through normal population increase, divorce, remarriage and so on, the abductee population will increase quickly throughout the generations. When those children grow and marry and have children of their own, all of their children, whether they marry an abductee or non-abductee, will be abductees. To protect the intergenerational nature of the breeding program, it must be kept secret from the abductees so that they will continue to have children. If the abductees KNEW that the program was intergenerational, they might elect not to have children. This would bring a critical part of the program to a halt, which the aliens cannot allow. The final reason for secrecy is to expand the breeding program, to integrate laterally in society, the aliens must make sure that abductees mate with non-abductees and produce abductee children.' [Jacobs, The Threat]
We have, of course, discussed the problem at length in our articles on psychopathy. But one of the subjects of said articles, in a typically psychopathic way, has objected strenuously to the C's information about Organic Portals writing:
Here's a woman [Laura] who claims to communicate with disincarnate beings via a ouiji board. [First error: C's are not "discarnate beings."] This could be considered a major pathological delusion in and of itself, but combined with the aggressive cultic behavior of the last few years, we might suspect a more serious psychosis.
[Note: We are curious as to what the author considers " aggressive cultic behavior?" As we have noted, labeling any group a cult is one of the chief techniques of COINTELPRO. However, we suspect that it is simply the fact that we would not turn all our work over to him, and our group over to his guidance so that he could grow rich and fat on the cult he wanted to create with himself as guru.]
Charismatic and psychopathic leaders create cultic climates as a kind of hothouse in which their delusions can flower. As the Cassiopaean Cult developed, Laura's delusions of persecution and self-importance inflated and grew into the curious dogma of the group. This paranoid delusion has now coalesced into the Doctrine of the Organic Portal.
[Unfortunately, it seems that the author is sadly behind the times in terms of reading the reams of research done on the subject of Psychopaths and the less toxic version, the Organic Portal. He is deceiving his readers by pretending that the psychopath/OP is not - as Dr. Hare describes it - the most costly and damaging psychological problem in our world today. Brenden Maher's important work devoted to current problems of psychiatry and psychology published in 1973, says about Cleckley's work:
Dr. Cleckley's book, The Mask of Sanity, has been the stimulus for most of the experimental research that has been conducted into the problem of psychopathy. It is one of the best examples available of careful clinical observation leading to hypotheses (not conclusions) which can then be put to controlled test. The wealth of clinical anecdote with which each point is illustrated renders it difficult to find any one sequential extract from the book that might serve to present his hypotheses in a systematic fashion. The extract in this volume consists of several portions of the text selected and assembled to be maximally coherent, while letting Cleckley's own views be presented in his own words.
From Cleckley's hypothesis there has developed naturally a major interest in the psychobiology of the psychopath's emotional experience -or lack of it. A prima facie credence must be given to the possibility that the psychopath is deficient in those bodily responses that give rise to the emotional experiences of anxiety, pity and the like. Hare, one of the major investigators of the present time, examines this explanation and presents the pertinent data in his paper here. The paper is not previously published elsewhere and it provides a new synthesis of findings from several related lines of research on the topic. [p. 197]
Cleckley himself conveys his speculations about the inner landscape of the psychopath and it would be useful for the reader to pause a moment, read Cleckley's comments carefully, before resuming this commentary.
Now, the reader certainly has a much better understanding of the problem faced in any study of the psychopath. It reveals to us something not quite human yet with full access to the machinery of the human brain. And, as Cleckley notes: "It is not necessary to assume great cruelty or conscious hatred in him commensurate with the degree of suffering he deals out to others. Not knowing how it hurts or even where it hurts, he often seems to believe that he has made a relatively mild but appropriate reprimand and that he has done it with humor. What he believes he needs to protest against turns out to be no small group, no particular institution or set of ideologies, but human life itself." And this is most certainly descriptive of the author of the comments of our critic, not to mention the fact that it reflects the entire flavor of COINTELPRO (see our article: COINTELPRO and the Speed of Light). So, to continue with the "debunkery":
Although the metaphysics of this Doctrine are as arcane as any a Scholastic churchman could wish for, simply put it is a dualistic belief that separates the world into those who have souls, or could have souls, and those who are hopelessly without souls, and therefore completely dehumanized. Here's how the Cult puts it:
"The DNA of these two races is so mixed that both can be found within the same families. Your brother, sister, mother, father, daughter or son. Not somebody "other" across the world or across the street worshipping a different god or with a different skin colour. It may be somebody you live with every day of your life, and if so, they have but one reason to be here, to drain, distract and deflect souled beings from evolving. "
Therefore soulless beings are evil, or can be easily used by evil, and their sole purpose is to keep those with the potential to have souls from evolving them. Here's how another Cultist put it:
1. OPs collect soul energy from souled individuals.
2. This energy is transmitted to 4D STS.
3. OPs are intermixed in families with souled individuals.
4. When a souled individual makes the commitment to the "work," he or she needs to learn to conserve the soul energy for without it the work cannot be done.
5. When one makes a commitment to the "work," one comes under attack.
6. This "attack" comes from those closest to you: family and friends. "BUT, when someone is in the process of `growing' and strengthening the soul, the Control System will seek to insert even more `units' into that person's life."
There is an interesting little deception in the above quote from our pages. In the actual article being quoted, the list goes as follows:
1. OPs collect soul energy from souled individuals.
2. This energy is transmitted to 4D STS.
3. OPs are intermixed in families with souled individuals.
4. When a souled individual makes the commitment to the “work,” he or she needs to learn to conserve the soul energy for without it the work cannot be done.
5. When one makes a commitment to the “work,” one comes under attack.
6. This “attack” comes from those closest to you: family and friends.The Cassiopaeans said: “BUT, when someone is in the process of ‘growing’ and strengthening the soul, the Control System will seek to insert even more ‘units’ into that person’s life.”
It is an interesting question as to why the author first of all describes the C's as "discarnate entities," which, as the many articles on this site declaim, is NOT the case. And then he includes a comment of the C's as having been made by a "member of the cult." According to the standard definition of a "cult," it is a group that uses manipulation to take over the minds of its followers. And here we see two examples of the very sort of deceptive manipulation that cults utilize: disinformation, truth mixed with lies and twists. And it seems that our OP Poster Boy is true to the type. To continue:
Hard to imagine, even with all our modern psychiatric knowledge, a more paranoid belief system than the one presented above.
Again we see an interesting "sleight of words" trick. The fact is, the OP hypothesis adequately explains a problem of psychiatry that has long been a thorn in the flesh of mental health professionals. What is more, it does so without blaming the individual. In other words, OPs are no more responsible for their behavior, for the fact that they are born that way, than a cat is responsible - and to be blamed - for being a cat and liking to toy with, torture, and eat mice. It is what it IS. And, given such a perspective, it becomes a simple matter to forgive, to understand, to deal with such individuals effectively. In fact, Mr. Bridges himself is a beneficiary of this "doctrine," because once we understood his true nature, it was no longer possible to feel hurt by his actions, to hold rancor against him for his lies and truly vicious behavior or to even take him seriously. Once we understood the "nature of the beast," it became easy to "read" what was behind his activities and words and to hold no ill-will toward him at all. He remains, however, one of the most important individuals we have ever encountered because of the "lesson profile" offered by our interactions, and he has been the means by which thousands of readers have had the opportunity to observe and learn and later, to apply the lesson of the OP/psychopath in their own lives. To continue with his commentary:
Half of humanity are soulless animals bent on the destruction of the other half.
Actually, this is an inflammatory assumption made by Mr. B in his "twisting and distortion." The C's have said that originally, OPs were the "bridge" between densities, which was a natural function. And, for the most part, they still function that way. The exceptions are those being utilized as "portals" for negative forces at higher levels, which is a coopting of their natural function. Deliberate, we should add.
They could be anyone, at any time, anywhere, even those we love most. And if we do find out the truth, as provided by the semi- omniscient Cassioapeans, then we come under even greater attack, and can trust no one but those already in the cult. A perfect paranoid Catch 22…
Suppose for instance that an individual found the Cult, joined their discussion groups and began to spend all his free time and energy discussing what the Cassiopaeans had to say about everything. As his friends and family grew concerned about this behavior, the cultists could point to the situation as proof of the contention that commitment to the work causes further attacks. See, they say, they – your family, friends, associates - are all now revealed as unhuman, soulless monsters trying to stop your growth as a souled being.
Whoa! What a rant! It seems that this Organic Portals issue is certainly one that COINTELPRO and the denizens of 4th density STS really want to cover up or discredit ASAP. Actually, it reminds me of a joke I heard when I was a kid. It was about a man who bought a bag of guavas at the vegetable market and forgot about them, leaving them in his car for several days in the heat. He went out one morning to discover every cat in the neighborhood frantically trying to cover the car with dirt. Those of you who know what a guava is and how they smell when they are spoiled will get it instantly.
In my book Ancient Science, which, as many of you know, is a major portion of the text of Noah which we published under a different title without any prior announcement in order to manuever around the opposition that had been put in our way regarding this book, I added some of my research into early Christianity - which finally began to make sense with the addition of the Mouravieff material as well as our developing understanding of psychopaths and what we were calling "garden variety psychopaths," but which the C's - with their careful precision with words - designated Organic Portals.
The following is excerpted from Ancient Science and is the segment that deals with the issue of early Christianity. The C's have confirmed Jesus as a real individual who achieved "the Gift of the present," as the alchemists describe it. They have also told us that the teachings of the man around whom the Jesus myth was created were, like everything else that might truly help humanity, subjected to what we call Cosmic COINTELPRO. So trying to see back into the mists of the past in order to determine what might be true, I put together the following clues:
As noted, what we know as Christianity today is, according to many experts, little more than an amalgamation of many mythical representations of the dying and resurrecting god theme. More than anything, it reflects the Tammuz drama with a major overlay of the Egyptian religion of the time.
What is most revealing is the fact that the only writings contemporary to the times of early Christianity, which mention it specifically, remark that it was a "vile superstition." Yet, what we have as Christianity today is nothing more or less than the same religious practices of the peoples who branded it a "vile superstition." Tacitus tells us that in the time of Nero:
"There followed a catastrophe, whether through accident or the design of the emperor is not sure, as there are authorities for both views, but it was the most disastrous and appalling of all the calamities brought on this city through the violence of fire. …a rumor had spread abroad that at the very time when the city was burning, Nero had mounted on his private stage and sung of the destruction of Troy, comparing the present disaster with that ancient catastrophe....
"In order to put an end to these rumors Nero provided scapegoats and visited most fearful punishments on those popularly called Christians, a group hated because of their outrageous practices. The founder of this sect, Christus, was executed in the reign of Tiberius by the procurator Pontius Pilatus. Thus the pernicious superstition was suppressed for the while, but it broke out again not only in Judaea, where this evil had its origin, but even in Rome, to which all obnoxious and disgraceful elements flow from everywhere in the world and receive a large following.
"The first ones to be seized were those who confessed; then on their information a vast multitude was convicted, not so much on the charge of incendiarism as because of their hatred of humanity."
Pliny the Younger, who lived c. 62 to 113 AD, was sent by Emperor Trajan as a special representative to the Roman province of Bithynia in Asia Minor. His task was to keep the peace. When he had trouble dealing with Christians, Pliny wrote to the emperor asking how he should proceed against them describing what he knew about their religion:
"However, they asserted that their guilt or mistake had amounted to no more than this, that they had been accustomed on a set day to gather before dawn and to chant in antiphonal form a hymn to Christ as if to a god, and to bind themselves by a pledge, not for the commission of any crime, but rather that they would not commit theft nor robbery nor adultery nor break their promises, nor refuse to return on demand any treasure that had been entrusted to their care; when this ceremony had been completed, they would go away, to reassemble later for a feast, but an ordinary and innocent one. They had abandoned even this custom after my edict in which, following your instruction, I had forbidden the existence of fellowships. So I thought it the more necessary to extract the truth even by torture from two maidservants who were called deaconesses. I found nothing save a vile superstition carried to an immoderate length.
"The contagion of the superstition has pervaded not only the cities but the villages and country districts as well. Yet it seems that it can be halted and cured. It is well agreed that temples almost desolate have begun to be thronged again, and stated rites that had long been abandoned are revived; and a sale is found for the fodder of sacrificial victims, though hitherto buyers were rare. So it is easy to conjecture what a great number of offenders may be reformed, if a chance to repent is given."
So we have these clues:
1 Christians were hated because of their outrageous practices. This seems to have been a denial of the old gods and the practices of sacrifice, etc, all things we consider "superstition" today.
2 Their beliefs were described as a pernicious superstition. Again noting that this label seems to have had to do with the denial of the worship of the old gods and the religious practices of the day.
3 The pernicious superstition had its origin in Judaea.
4 Christians were disliked, not because they were going around inflaming others, but because of their "hatred of humanity."
5 Pliny describes their practices as benign," but that the core belief was a "vile superstition carried to an immoderate length. "
6 This "vile superstition" was pervasive and apparently led to the temples and ancient rites including sacrifice, begin abandoned.The question that comes to mind is: what would the peoples of that time have considered a "vile superstition" or "outrageous practices" when one is aware of what they considered normal religious practice which included dying god myths and certain forms of gnosticism and sacrifice and all the other accoutrements of Christianity - however modified for the modern audience - as we know it today?
The only real clue we have is the remark: "not so much on the charge of incendiarism as because of their hatred of humanity - a vile superstition carried to an immoderate length. "
Their what?
"Their hatred of humanity."
In Book III of hisGnosis, Boris Mouravieff discusses what he calls "pre- adamic humanity" and "adamic humanity." Here are some excerpts of what Mouravieff has to say:
In the first volume of ‘Gnosis’, we already referred several times to the coexistence of two essentially different races: one of Men, and another of Anthropoids. We must emphasize the fact that from the esoteric point of view the latter term has no derogatory meaning. [...]
The Scriptures contain more than one reference to the coexistence on our planet of these two humanities – which are now alike in form but unlike in essence. We can even say that the whole dramatic history of humanity, from the fall of Adam until today, not excluding the prospect of the new era, is overshadowed by the coexistence of these two human races whose separation will occur only at the Last Judgment. [...]
The human tares, the anthropoid race, are the descendants of pre-adamic humanity. The principal difference between contemporary pre-adamic man and adamic man – a difference which is not perceived by the senses – is that the former does not possess the developed higher centres that exist in the latter which, although they have been cut off from his waking consciousness since the Fall, offer him a real possibility of esoteric evolution. Apart from this, the two races are similar: they have the same lower centres, the same structure of the Personality and the same physical body, although more often than not this is stronger in the pre-adamic man than in the adamic; regarding beauty, we must not forget that pre-adamic man and woman were created by God on the sixth day, in His image and after His likeness, and that the daughters of this race were beautiful.
By identifying himself with the ‘I’ of his Personality, Adam lost consciousness of his real ‘I’ and fell from the Eden that was his original condition into the same condition as the pre-adamics… The two humanities, coming from two different creative processes, later mingled on the level of organic life on Earth… From then on, the coexistence of these two human types, and the competition which was the result of this, became the norm…we can see that throughout the centuries, even in our own day, adamics in their post-fall condition, have been and are generally in an inferior position to the pre- adamics. [...]
For the moment we will restrict ourselves to repeating that contemporary adamic man, having lost contact with his higher centres and therefore with his real ‘I’, appears practically the same as his pre-adamic counterpart. However, unlike the latter, he still has his higher centres, which ensure that he has the possibility of following the way of esoteric evolution. At present, pre-adamic man is deprived of this possibility, but it will be given to him if adamic humanity develops as it should during the era of the Holy Spirit.
Notice that the description given here is entirely in keeping with what the C's have said about the "original purpose" of the OPs. It is also important to note that the pre-adamic humanity does, indeed, contrary to the disinfo being spread by Bridges, have the possibility of developing the higher centers, or the "soul," in the NEXT cycle - depending entirely upon whether or not the "souled" humans of the present day can activate that possible future. In other words, the possible future of the OPs is highly dependent upon the possible future of souled humans, and this is why the OPs have been coopted by negative 4th density STS - to PREVENT that possibilitye. They wish to make the only possible future one in which they and their evil minions are in control of planet earth. (See Adventures Chapter 36 for a wrap-up of this idea.) Getting back to the excerpt from Ancient Science:
So now we come to an idea that just might fit the bill of a "vile superstition" as well as an explanation for the remark that the early Christians had an "excessive hatred for humanity." We also have a sudden flash of insight about some of the odd remarks attributed to Jesus such as "I come not to bring peace, but a sword," and his address to the Pharisees that they were the "children of their father, Satan…"
This, of course, brings us to the issues we face with the activation of many agents of 4 D STS such as Bridges. They seem to be the same issues faced by the early Christians who, it seems, were being taught something VERY similar to what the C's have taught, supported by other sources, including Gurdjieff, Eastern Orthodoxy, Sufism, archaic shamanism, Castaneda, Mouravieff, and perhaps others of which we are not yet aware. So, we stand in very good company. In fact, it should be noted that the favored "authority" of Bridges' cohort, Weidner, is Rene Guenon, who launched very similar attacks against Gurdjieff himself. Unfortunately, in his synthesis of the Eastern Orthodox tradition, and his attempts to present it to the esoteric community, Mouravieff fell under the influence of Guenon and other occultists, so one has to take that into consideration when reading Mouravieff. Ignore the politics and speculations, and just stick to the Traditional explications.
That there exists a soulless race, now numbering close to 3 billion inhabitants of this planet, certainly helps explain why the planet is in its current state. That this soulless race are portals used by the 4D STS to maintain their control over us further explains the depth of the manipulations and why it was essential to cover up the teachings of the man we now call Jesus, but who the Cassiopaeans have said was actually named Jesinavarah. Organic Portals are the terminal connections of the geographic overseer sub-units of the Thought Centers of non-being. It is through our relationships with them that we feed and maintain the Matrix.
They are generic vehicles or portals, in human form, open for use by a variety of forces, which is why they make excellent matrix puppets. It just so happens that they're being used now by 4D STS to control 3D STS / 4D STO candidates through "clapper" and "vampire" functions - keeping us locked into a behavioral pattern matching the orchestrated norm, and being physically close to us to sap our energies and keep us from having enough "escape velocity" to remove ourselves from the Matrix Control System's tug, via development of our magnetic centers.
Thus we see that the “natural” function of the OP of imitation of the soul energy, assumes a specific character with the STS development stream of collecting the soul energy of souled individuals in order to pass it along the feeding chain to 4D STS. The principal role of the OP is now to prevent the genuine seeker from advancing along the Way. [...]
So in many ways, the actual work of learning to adjust the lens of one's view of reality involves learning to discern the true nature of the seeker's relationships in order to conserve energy from the OPs in the reality so that the seeker can accumulate enough energy to grow and strengthen the connection to the soul. This is made clear by Mouravieff when he makes the following comments about understanding the “film” of your life:
"In theory, the film in which a man is born and in which he lives can go on until the end of the world, on condition that he is happy, satisfied with himself, attributing his virtues to himself, and blaming others for his mistakes and misfortunes. Properly speaking, this kind of existence cannot be considered as human; it could be described as anthropoid. This term is justified in the sense that exterior man, immersed in self-satisfaction, represents the crowning achievement of millions of years of evolution of the species from its animal ancestors, yet, from the point of view of esoteric evolution, he is a possibility which has not yet been realized.
"If we envisage the problem of esoteric evolution from the point of view of the film and the different parts man can play in it, it is clear that this kind of evolution is impossible as long as the film can always be considered as running in the same circle. People who perform in such a film are those we have called anthropoids, puppets, the dead who, in the words of Jesus, ‘believe themselves to be alive’. Esoteric evolution starts when man, by his conscious efforts, proves capable of breaking the circle and transforming it into an ascending spiral. (Book I, pp 234-5)
But to do this, those secondary roles, those filled by the puppets, the Organic Portals, must be eliminated from the film.
As we have just said, man most often comes to this idea of evolution after he has already complicated the film to which he belongs. But true evolution cannot occur except on the basis of the original film – after all the artificially added elements have been eliminated. The latter is conditional on a return to the purity of the centres, especially the emotional center which – at last at the start – is the sole receptacle of spiritual influences, and seat of the magnetic center. The heart must therefore be pure, and if it is not already pure it must be purified. This is the sine qua non condition of success. (Book I, p. 238)
And, as we now know, the heart cannot be purified without great knowledge. Painful though it may seem to be, among those “artificially added elements” which need to be eliminated from our lives are the Organic Portals.
This suggests to us the possibility that the figure, around which the Jesus legend was wrapped, was presenting a teaching that denied everything that all of the other religions promoted. Such a concept denies the value of sacrifice to the gods; it denies the value of appeasing the gods, honoring the gods, praying to the gods, expecting to be saved by or cleansed from sin by any of the gods. It places the important lesson squarely upon the human being as described in the Parable of the Prodigal Son. It describes the son as going to a Far Country. It describes the "Fall" as "a famine in the country." It tells us how the Prodigal Son went to a "resident of the Far Country" to ask for help. We can easily see that this resident represents the God of this world. And what did the God do? Sent the Prodigal Son to live with the pigs. And there we see the clear explication of the Organic Portals in our lives. And we also understand the use of the term in the saying: do not cast your pearls before swine lest they turn and rend you in pieces. And speaking of pearls, we begin to understand the reason that the "pearl" was used as the metaphor for the magnetic center "buried" in a field and the necessity to sell all you own to obtain the field with the pearl of great price. A pearl is formed over time, layer after layer, around a seed, a kernel, a grain of sand that is an "irritant." In this world, souled beings ARE irritants, but in this world they have the possibility of "growing a soul," and ascending.
If we just learn to "make nice and get along" and suffer as nobly as possible and forgive and forget in our relations with Organic Portals, then we are wasting our time. Forgiveness and understanding extended to a souled being is required. The big problem is: telling the difference between the children of the Kingdom of Heaven and the children of a "lesser god."
Such an idea, and only such an idea, would have been most definitely a "vile superstition."
In fact, we have something of a parallel in some remarks about Pythagoras. He was accused of believing the "vile superstitions" of the barbarians, that a soul is born over and over again into different bodies.
In the Cathar Gospel of John, the following passage tells us something very important:
"And after that I, John, asked of the Lord, saying: How say men that Adam and Eve were created by God and set in paradise to keep the commandments of the Father, and were delivered unto death? And the Lord said to me: Hearken, John, beloved of my Father; foolish men say thus in their deceitfulness that my Father made bodies of clay: but by the Holy Ghost made he all the powers of the heavens, and holy ones were found having bodies of clay because of their transgression, and therefore were delivered unto death.
"And again I, John, asked the Lord: How beginneth a man to be in the Spirit (to have a spirit) in a body of flesh? And the Lord said unto me: Certain of the angels which fell do enter unto the bodies of women, and receive flesh from the lust of the flesh, and so is a spirit born of spirit, and flesh of flesh, and so is the kingdom of Satan accomplished in this world and among all nations.
"And he said to me: My Father hath suffered him to reign seven days, which are seven ages.
"And I asked the Lord and said: What shall be in that time? And he said to me: From the time when the devil fell from the glory of the Father and (lost) his own glory, he sat upon the clouds, and sent his ministers, even angels flaming with fire, unto men from Adam even unto Henoch his servant. And he raised up Henoch upon the firmament and showed him his godhead and commanded pen and ink to be given him: and he sat down and wrote threescore and seven books. And he commanded that he should take them to the earth and deliver them unto his sons. And Henoch let his books down upon the earth and delivered them unto his sons, and began to teach them to perform the custom of sacrifice, and unrighteous mysteries, and so did he hide the kingdom of heaven from men. And he said unto them: Behold that I am your god and beside me is none other god. And therefore did my Father send me into the world that I might make it known unto men, that they might know the evil device of the devil.
At one point in the Gnostic gospel of Thomas, the disciples ask Thomas what Jesus told him when he withdrew with him and "told him three things." Thomas said to them: "If I tell you even one of the things he told me, you will pick up rocks and stone me. Then fire will come forth from the rocks and devour you."
By now we have an idea of what was so controversial about what Jesus was saying in private that even some of his closest followers could not be told. At another point in this text, Jesus says to his disciples, following a rendition of the parable of the sower: "This is also how you can acquire the kingdom of heaven. If you do not acquire it through knowledge, you will not be able to find it."
Repeatedly throughout the Gnostic texts, the seeking of knowledge - in the sense of Truth, or the unseen reality behind the symbols of our world - as opposed to belief in salvation from a "god out there," was emphasized. That was truly heretical in those days. In fact, it is heretical now.
If "three day deaths and resurrections" of savior gods was so commonplace throughout the Middle East, why was Jesus saying:
"You miserable people! You unfortunate ones! You pretenders to truth! You falsifiers of knowledge! You sinners against the spirit! Why do you continue to listen when from the beginning you should have been speaking? Why do you sleep when from the beginning you should have been awake, that the kingdom of heaven might receive you? I tell you the truth: it is easier for a holy person to sink into filth, and for an enlightened person to sink into darkness, than for you to reign."
At one point, in the Gospel of Thomas, Jesus makes a rather astounding comparison:
'They saw a Samaritan carrying a lamb and going to Judea. He said to his disciples, "Why is he carrying the lamb around?" They said to him, "So that he may kill it and eat it." He said to them, "He will not eat it while it is alive, but only after it has been killed and has become a carcass." They said, "it cannot happen any other way." He said to them, "So also with you: seek a place of rest for yourselves, that you may not become a carcass and be eaten."
That's a far cry from the accepted Christian image of the "Good Shepherd." The point is, the Gnostic gospels, obviously the "other Christianity" that was abolished and buried by the church, had, as the centerpiece of their teachings, that the gods of the many religions down through the ages were merely different manifestations of the negative forces of the hyperdimensional reality and that this realm of evil gods acted on souled beings through the intermediary of Organic Portals. But such an idea is extremely difficult to deal with when one has been inculcated for all of their life in a belief system that includes, (as a precaution), the idea that such ideas as this will come along as the "wiles of Satan" tempting a person to renounce their faith.
The Matrix Control System went into overdrive damage control to stamp out the teachings of Jesus in the middle of the second century. From that point on, gnosticism was heresy and the Egyptian model of the dying and resurrecting savior - the corn god - had been substituted into the Christian mythological structure, and a "history" of a "real person" about whom all would revolve was carefully written. But, not carefully enough. Obviously, as with the Old Testament, real stories and real sayings had to be used or the adherents of the system would notice.
By the end of the fourth century the struggle between the Catholic Church and the classical Gnosticism represented in the Nag Hammadi texts was essentially over. The church now had the added the force of political correctness to bolster its dogmatic denunciation. With this material sword, so-called "heresy" was surgically removed from the Christian body; without anesthesia, I should add. Gnosticism was eradicated, its remaining teachers murdered or driven into exile, and its sacred books destroyed. All that remained for scholars seeking to understand Gnosticism in later centuries were the denunciations and fragments preserved in the patristic heresiologies.
And we seem to be the modern day heirs of the Tradition... and let me tell ya, it is NOT gonna be easy.
