NATURE'S POLITICAL REVOLUTION

THE REAL FUTURE AHEAD

Our solar system is but a speck of dust at the edges of the Milky Way Galaxy, and there are millions and millions of galaxies in the universe. So we must put our current society and ideas into perspective.

With any search for the truth, one must begin with nature as the starting point.

Human political ideas will come and go... but those that are not connected to nature will never last.

Nature is truth. It is billions of years old and has stood the test of time. It is an eternal system of power that presides over the laws of life and death.

The written history of human civilization only began 5,000 years ago. Our industrial world order is only 200 years old, and on a global scale it's only 50.

If the Earth formed at midnight and the present moment is the next midnight, 24 hours later, modern humans have only been around for 1 second; and if human history spanned 24 hours, the Industrial era would be the last minute.

In other words, all of human history is just a drop of water in the vast ocean of time, and today's world order is just a tiny fraction of that drop.

The dinosaurs were around for 65 million years. Unfortunately, human beings are on the verge of committing suicide after a mere 50,000 years.

This situation is not an innocent mistake. It is the result of an internal moral sickness. Today's world leaders are presiding over an era of mass murder. We are witnessing the greatest extermination of life since the Permian extinction, which happened 250 million years ago. In 40 short years, half of the wildlife on the planet has been killed. What we are witnessing today is nothing short of the greatest mass murder in history.

This criminal destruction of our planet is the result of sick and evil political and religious ideologies.

A particularly serious problem is the matter of American imperialism. Here is an ideology based on the destruction of nature. It is combined with enormous political and religious delusions of grandeur.

Fortunately, there is no need to worry about nature. Human beings need nature, but nature does not need us. Nature will get things back on track one way or another - with or without us.

The politicians may have the clocks, but nature controls the time, and all the money in the world won't add another minute to the day.

It is time to start thinking about a long term future, and political ideologies connected to the future. It is time to get back to the truths found in nature.

Just as the spring follows the cold of the winter, so too will our world be reborn. A political and religious revolution will be needed to sweep away the evils that have created the current situation. We would hope this would be a peaceful process but this is very unlikely.

What follows is a vision of what is to come. People can get back in step with nature or be crushed. This is the real future.

REAL NATURE VS. FAKE IDEAS ABOUT NATURE

REAL NATURE VS. WESTERN LIBERAL ENVIRONMENTALISM

When we say that it's time to align ourselves with the truths found in nature, there needs to first be a fundamental discussion of what nature is and what nature is not.

Nature is a ferocious system. Nature is a wolf running through the forest and ripping open the throat of its prey.

It's important to distinguish real nature from middle class, liberal environmentalism in the West. These are not the same thing. Their view of nature is what they see through an air-conditioned SUV window. A picture on a cookie box. A video on HDTV. It's important not to get real nature confused with a virtual picture of nature. If the average Western environmentalist was put back in the natural world, they'd be begging to get back into the modern world as fast as possible. How many people would like to wake up in the morning and have to cook breakfast over a fire and then go out and hunt all day and maybe face starvation in the cold? Delusions about pacifism and human "rights" have no place here.

Human "rights" cannot exist without human responsibilities. The number one responsibility is to respect nature's laws. People are not isolated individuals but part of a larger cosmos.

Nature is a grim system, but it is a self-sustaining system that offers a long-term future. In so far as the modern world can be reformed, it must get back to principles of nature if it wants to survive. However, this will be very controversial.

For example, nature is a system for cleansing the diseased, the weak and the unhealthy. These forms of life are killed off in nature. Some political structures, particularly in the ancient world, had a system to emulate this. Most notable is Sparta with the exposure of children to nature, where the sickly and the unfit died and only the fit survived.

In a modern society there is a total contradiction of this. All sorts of defective forms of human are kept alive, and this is considered charitable. At the other end of life, nonfunctional vegetables are kept alive for billions and billions of dollars in cost. This is not natural. This is a violation of nature's laws, and nature's laws are a reflection of fate, God, divine law, whatever you want to call it in your culture.

While there is all this talk about human rights and human compassion, there's an unprecedented wave of cruelty and mass murder towards other forms of life. Is the "sanctity of life" only keeping humans alive, or only keeping wealthy, well connected humans alive in first world countries while otherwise healthy children are left to die? 45,000 People in America die each year from a lack of health care. Pollution is also the largest cause of death in developing countries. So as you can see, many of these ideas are really quite sick, and originate from toxic religious and cultural ideas, particularly in America.

As the whole house of cards collapses, there is going to be a grim process of sorting out the survivors. The result could very likely be a death toll in the billions. Such a huge death toll sounds ~~fantastic~~ extreme, but is not at all out of the world historical experience. In the Black Death, it is estimated that 35% of the population of Europe died. During the Thirty Years War in Germany and the Mongol invasion of China similar death tolls also took place. This would mean a death toll of at least two billion in today's world.

Are billions of people around the world going to willingly depart without a fight and die quietly of hunger, chemical poisoning and disease in their sleep? No. There will be mass chaos and political upheaval. War and violence will add to the death toll and the demand for totalitarian rule.

If the current western countries that lead the world today cannot provide a realistic solution to the environmental and economic problems faced by the rest of the world, we must consider the possibility of alternative political ideologies and systems rising up from those who are on the receiving end of this system.

The environmental crisis is one of the most critical issues of our time. We hope for a peaceful and democratic solution to this problem. But if this cannot be addressed in a peaceful and democratic manner, it is likely that there is going to be a very violent future to come. That is why it is important to think of the future to come if today's current democracies do not succeed. This is why it is important to study deep historical trends if we are to understand the future violence to come.

A FALSE PROMISE OF SAFETY

FROM A RULING CLASS IN ITS DEATH THROES

The plutocrats tell us that today's world order is the best that ever existed, and that if we go along with their plan, that we'll have this nice little life where we can all be safe.

The plutocrats are backed up by the wealthy liberal establishment who create a facade of compassion to hide the criminal realities of what is happening. However, their grip on power is slipping. Going along with their plan is not safe, it is suicidal madness.

They tell us that the destruction of nature is necessary in the creation of "progress." But the question we ask is "progress for whom?" Today we are seeing income inequality unseen in the scope of history. 1% of people in the planet now own around 50% of the global wealth. Even past emperors and pharaohs did not command such a percentage of wealth in their own civilizations.

Yet this is a temporary trend. It is not based on any sustainable systems of values. Consumption cannot keep going for ever. The reality is that today's plutocrats and western liberals are on the losing side of history. Those who align themselves with nature will be on the winning side. They will be one with the invincible forces of fate. Those who align themselves with temporary trends will be on the losing side.

So the question is, is it safe to go along with the current system? Do those in charge have your best interests at heart? The answer to both of these questions is a resounding no.

It is time to get back on track with real traditional values, with real historical trends. It is time to develop systems aligned with the eternal values. It is time to get back to nature and in order to do so, we must understand long term trends in our own history. The next section of this text will go into more detail about the real past, in order that we have an understanding of the real future.

THE CENTRAL FIGURE OF REFORM IN THE WORLD AHEAD

THE EMPEROR

Our role is to be the shamans of today. Our role is to be the visionaries of what's to come. Our role is to paint the picture of the coming real world order. This real New World order is going to sweep away the ruins of the current world order of plutocracy and Western establishment liberalism. We've discussed at length on our website and in previous lectures the death toll that's coming and the political implications of that death toll, which will bring down the political world order and unleash a tidal wave of violence.

In the real world order to come, the central figure is a person that we will call 'The Emperor.' Yesterday, today and tomorrow, time remains the same. Authoritarian rule has been the norm for a majority of written history. As reform in today's world looks more and more likely, history will return to long term trends. Trends we will discuss more in this text below.

Whether there will be more than one Emperor on this planet is an interesting concept and we're not going to get into that in this lecture. We are going to talk about the nature of the Emperor.

Our goal is to reach this coming emperor Emperor. This person is alive today. The material on our website is to help direct this Emperor who'll come to power. That is the central point of what we do. Obviously we want to reach significant numbers of other people in power today, or not in power today, but the likelihood that the current political power structure is going to reform itself is pretty close to nil.

The Emperor is going to a very busy person. He will not only have to deal with huge problems but will also be involved in a ferocious struggle for power to crush competing political leaders who might also want to be Emperor as well as defenders of the rotting world order that got us into the current mess.

This coming emperor will be a highly charismatic person, and they will use the technology and media of their time to galvanize the masses with a powerful message.

This person will be like a God King as in the days of old. Except they will probably have even more power and influence than any previous leader, due to the ability of technology to mass produce a message and spread that message to millions.

We will talk more about the deep historical roots of this figure. The problems today. And how this person will emerge to sweep away today's synthetic world order, and brutally impose one that returns humanity to an eternal time scale. To the eternal laws of nature.

THE COMING REVOLUTION

THE REBIRTH OF THE PRIMEVAL: GETTING BACK TO LONG TERM HISTORICAL TRENDS

Nature is a violent and ferocious system World history is also a violent and ferocious system.

In 323 BC the most powerful man in the world lay dying in ancient Babylon. On his death bed, Alexander the Great was asked, "who will you leave your Empire to?" and his answer was, "to the strongest." There's a lesson here, world history is a ruthless struggle for power. No it's not a struggle for freedom; no it's not the struggle for what Americans like to call "democracy," which frequently has nothing to do with world history. World history is a struggle for power.

Now there's been a myth in the in the Western study of history that there was once a peaceful little world of everybody living in the forest so on and so forth. This is rubbish. It's a world that never existed. As the vision of the past is illuminated by archaeology, what we see is a ferocious world a world of violence and a world of human sacrifice. This is the real world of the past and it has relevance, because as the whole plutocratic world order collapses under its environmental and economic mistakes, this kind of violence and terror will be unleashed on a global basis.

Examples of this are discussed in Lawrence H. Keeley's book "War Before Civilization." Keeley is an archeology professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago. According to Keeley, modern civilization is less violent (in terms of human violence) than the prehistoric past. Keeley states that peaceful societies were an exception to the rule and that up to 90-95% of prehistoric societies known engaged in war. Tribal warfare in a warrior society could produce casualty rates up to 60% of the population. This is compared to the 1% death toll of combatants in modern wars. There was also a very high participation rate in this violence. According to Keeley, up to 40% of the male population in a tribe was mobilized for warfare. This is a much larger percent than what Germany or America recruited for World War II.

Keeley also cites several archaeological examples to support his narrative of perpetual violence: Almost half of the people buried in a Nubian cemetery 12,000 years ago died from violence; The yellow knives tribe in Canada were obliterated by massacres committed by the Dongrib Indians and similar massacres occurred among the Eskimos, the Crow Indians and countless others. At Crow Creek in South Dakota, archaeologists found a mass grave containing the skeletal remains of more than 500 men, women and children who had been slaughtered, scalped and mutilated during a village raid that took place over a century and a half before the arrival of Columbus.

In addition to examining the brutality of history before written language, we can see that the earliest written documents also contain a good share of violence and gore.

The Narmer Palette is one of the oldest examples of Egyptian Hieroglyphic writing and it dates from the 31st century BC. It is believed to be a depiction of the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under King Narmer. If you look for a picture of the Narmer Palette (you can search this on Google Images) you will see that it depicts King Narmer ready to strike down a foe whom he grabs by the hair. Again and again, on other parts of this palette, we have images of the king being victorious over his enemies. On the front of the palette he is represented as a human overlooking the decapitated corpses of his foes or a as a bull victoriously trampling an enemy.

One man looking over the decapitated corpses of his foes is an accurate picture of the history of human civilization. Civilizations were forged by brutal leaders who came to power by stepping on the backs of their enemies and who built thriving empires atop the graves of the fallen.

The page above describes what the real past was like, and how this brutal world is likely to emerge again.

THE COMING TOTALITARIAN REVOLUTION

THE DEEP HISTORY OF ANCIENT TOTALITARIANISM

These leaders put into place their own systems of authoritarian control where aspects of everyday life, such as the religion and culture of the people, were controlled by the state. Ancient leaders typically ruled over their empires as a sort of god king.

The term "totalitarianism" was only invented recently by Mussolini, but it is an idea that goes back thousands of years.

Totalitarianism is the idea of the total control of the individual and society by the state. This idea goes back to Plato in ancient Greece and it is the foundation of the Chinese Empire. China's first Emperor based his empire on the political theory of legalism of philosophers such as Lord Shang and Han Phaisu. The Han Dynasty and the succeeding dynasties in China were a fusion of Confucianism and legalism. In our time Chairman Mao was a great admirer of the ancient philosophy of legalism. In ancient India, India's first Empire was a totalitarian state and the structure of that state was defined by its prime minister in the ancient book of the Arthsashastra. These are basic facts in world history.

Almost all ancient leaders claimed their right to rule by divine providence. Even in the Code of Hammurabi, the first known written law text, Hammurabi states that Marduk (the chief Babylonian God at the time) sent him to rule over the people. "When Marduk sent me to rule over men, to give the protection of right to the land."

So when you look at any serious historical civilization, such as Ancient Egypt, China, Persia, Babylon, or India, you will see that they were all governed by authoritarian rule.

In today's western education systems, children are taught that democratic Athens was this major civilization in the ancient world, and that democracy somehow had a role in putting Greece on the map. This is rubbish, pure and utter rubbish. Of course the real reason our school systems put forth such nonsense is to create the idea that democracy is the foundation of Western civilization. This is a lie, a flat out lie.

Back in the 5th century B.C, Persia was actually the major world power at the time. The Persian Empire was a geopolitical revolution of the first order, because for the first time, the empires of India and the Mediterranean were connected.

In most western schoolbooks, there's a fairy tale view of the relationship between Persia and Greece. It's portrayed as a kind of Cold War. Nothing could be further from the truth. Greece was a fragmented collection of different city-states, and their relationship with Persia was a combination of different alliances at different times, but there was a huge amount of interaction. For example, Herodotus, a Greek citizen, was able to travel throughout Persia.

The central point here is that the main Empire of the 5th century B.C. was Persia, not Greece. Now, so-called democracy in Athens really wasn't even a modern democracy, because only a minority of the citizens were able to vote, and Athens was heavily dependent upon a system of slavery. So, the romanticization of Athens is a product of the modern world, not of the ancient world.

Under Pericles, and the so-called "Golden age of Greece," Athens embarked on a megalomaniacal, imperial plan to make Athens and all of Greece "safe" for democracy. In other words, Athens started a war with its main competitor, Sparta, to destroy Sparta, and impose an Athenian version of democracy, which coincided with business interests in Athens taking over all of Greece. (Sound familiar?)

This war was an absolute, total disaster, and it ended up in the defeat of Athens by Sparta, and the wholesale destruction of Athens as a major power. Athens was defeated, and the whole concept of democracy was totally discredited throughout Greece. Aristophanes wrote plays ridiculing Pericles; Socrates referred to Pericles as a pastry chef; the entire intellectual structure of Greece repudiated democracy after the demise of Pericles - and you have the rise of philosophers like Plato, who openly endorsed the concept of authoritarian rule and totalitarianism.

The person who actually put Greek culture on the map was Alexander the Great. He made the transition from the narrow-minded polis of democracy which had been discredited, to the cosmopolis, the world state, where he incorporated the aspects of Persia into his Empire. His empire was built on top of the administrative structure of Persia.

When he died his empire was distributed to four different generals, but he played a large role in his lifetime of spreading the greek culture throughout the ancient world. The connection between the east and west that Alexander helped to facilitate lead to the birth of the "Hellenistic Era."

The second model for modern democracy in our time was ancient Rome. Now Rome, unlike Athens, did become a major world power, but this was hardly a very happy story. Rome, like Sparta, was a horrendously militarized state, and set up the largest and most brutal slave trade in the ancient world. The Roman Republic eventually committed suicide, but for some different reasons.

In Rome, similar to modern America, plutocratic forces gained control of the political system. This led to endless quarrels, endless fights. It was eventually a man of the political left. Julius Caesar, who finally overthrew the Roman political establishment. That's a very important fact to understand. While the Roman Empire did occasionally appoint dictators in times of war, it was ultimately Caesar, who completely threw out the entire structure of the system, and appointed himself dictator by force.

After Julius Caesar was assassinated, Augustus eventually came to power. Now Augustus was much more clever than his adopted father, Julius Caesar, because he used the rhetoric of the Republic to enforce his power. In other words, he claimed he was restoring the republic. It was a very clever move, and eerily similar to what's going on in modern America today. Augustus destroyed the Republic under the guise of restoring it, and he ruled for over the empire for life. He put through a legal series of revolutions that enshrined the power of the authoritarian state, and basically buried democracy in the West for almost 2,000 years. Democracy wasn't restored until the American and French Revolutions.

SHALLOW ROOTS OF MODERN DEMOCRACY

DEMOCRACY DEAD FOR ALMOST 2,000 YEARS. DOESN'T COME BACK UNTIL 18TH CENTURY

Democracy was buried for almost 2,000 years before it re-emerged in the western world around the 18th century via the French and American revolutions.

Another case of a dysfunctional system was France in 1789. Now, American history books like to tell that, "oh, it was a tyranny, it was an aristocracy, and my gosh, that's why they got in trouble." Actually, Louis XVI was originally seen as the great reformer. He took all sorts of ideas from the so-called "enlightenment" and put them into action. The end result was a system that was more dysfunctional, not less dysfunctional, than the one that he inherited from his father, Louis XV. It was a decentralized mess where you couldn't get anything done, particularly in the case of the local parliaments. And, you see, the so-called reformers in the time of Louis XVI were similar to the so-called human rights movement today. Everybody had to have rights, and everybody had the right to go to court, and everybody had the right to do this, and the right to do that. The end result was the system was completely dysfunctional, and very similar to America today. And very similar to America, there was a debt from wars that was never dealt with. England and France inherited tremendous debts from the Seven Years War, or the so-called "French and Indian War" here in America.

Now, England dealt with its huge war debts with a centralized government, and an enormous series of tax increases. Part of the tax increases led to the American Revolution, due to the corruption of the special interests in Parliament, the gerrymandered districts, and so on (sound familiar to modern America?) who would not all allow the American colonists to elect their own representatives in the parliament. But while the tax increases did cost England the colonies - which at that time were not absolutely critical, contrary to the view of most American historians; you get the impression that the colonies in the United States were the most important colonies in the world - absolute nonsense. But anyway, the point is that England was able to reorganize its finances in a centralized manner, and had huge tax increases and dealt with its financial crisis. France, by contrast, emerging from the Seven Years War adopted what you might call the modern American system, with an endless series of gimmicks, and gadgets, and tricks which had finally ended up collapsing in the financial crisis of 1789, which set in motion the French Revolution.

Now, to understand the French Revolution. you need to understand Robespierre. Robespierre is probably one of the more underestimated figures in history. Robespierre, without a doubt, saved the French Revolution. France was in the middle of being invaded by foreign powers who were trying to crush the revolution, and it was Robespierre, in coordination with Carnot, who organized what's known as the "levee en masse", which was the mass army. This mass army was a military revolution, the beginning of the total war system that would evolve into the 20th century. This enabled France to produce a disciplined mass army that would later serve as the cornerstone of Napoleon's mass military machine. Now, Napoleon also was a great admirer of Robespierre - that's another fact that's sort of swept under the rug and covered up. The reign of terror and the mass army enabled France to mobilize and defeat foreign armies, and laid the groundwork for the takeover of Europe by Napoleon, and the establishment of the French Empire under Napoleon. However, this doesn't quite fit well with the traditional American view of the French Revolution, that it was all to create American-style system, and big bad Robespierre spoiled everything, and so on and so forth. That's rubbish.

AMERICA'S DEMOCRACY IN CRISIS

So, we need to understand and see the importance of authoritarian rule. Now, in modern America, you simply have a completely dysfunctional system mired in umpteen levels of bureaucracy and a so-called two-party system, which many people see is a one-party system controlled by big corporations, that is almost totally dysfunctional. And for somebody to run through all the various hoops and the elites in American society for genuine reform is not very likely. Indeed America, if you look at the Constitution, was basically set up as a de facto plutocracy, not a democracy. People such as Madison feared the people, and they wanted to set up a system that was deliberately inefficient, so special interest could control it, which they have. (This part seems grammatically off. Is this supposed to say "so special interests couldn't control it"?)

America has successfully sustained itself through plunder of the environment, the most successful campaign of racial war in history against the Native Americans, a ~~good~~ program of racial war that was the model for what Hitler wanted to do in his planned conquest of Russia. And the wholesale plundering of the environment, which is one of the things that's really sustained the American economy. Now, today, America's a big house of cards in terms of death. House of cards of financial debt, house of cards in environmental debt, and a dysfunctional system. Hopefully, Obama can solve things, but that's not very likely.

America, we must remember, has a very grim history and also a history of deceit, lies and deception. America was founded by genocide and conquest against the native peoples. How do you think the whites in America ended up getting the land that they have? Through democracy? Of course not. It has also displayed an appalling lack of understanding of nature. 95% of all the original forests were destroyed by the Americans. This shows an unbelievable lack of understanding of the basic rules of life. Now these rules of life aren't negotiable. They can't be bought and sold on Capitol Hill or the New York Stock Exchange. They cannot. They are remorseless and these laws are going to kick in as time evolves.

And we also need to look at modern Europe, which (the big weakness of modern Europe) is a decentralized system. And Europe is, overall, in much better shape than America, but Europe has a massive internal political conflict, similar to the one that France had before 1789 with the parliament and the lack of unity in the EU, and the ability of one tinker toy state to stop everything, and so on.

Now, we've made it clear that we would prefer to see democracy work. Of course we would. It would be much better. But there's very little sign that that's going to happen, and beyond a certain point, you can't look at democracy as a suicide pact. You can't. That's a criminal view. Clinging to democracy to kill everybody on the planet is a criminal point of view. So, dictatorship is going to be necessary if democracy doesn't work, and so far it's obviously not working. The current structure of the world is headed towards a total disaster, and this whole sort of "house of cards" built from 1945 is headed for a total disaster. So these are the basic structures of how this whole situation needs to be discussed. Time remains the same. Nature remains the same, and political leaders will emerge who will be agents of fate, agents of nature.

WAR CRIMES AND DEMOCRACIES

The relentless quest for economic growth is killing the planet. This is not an opinion. It is a fact. Every scientific indicator can back up this fact. Not only is today's political and economic world order destroying life on the planet, but when you look at the growing poverty and economic inequality, it's obvious that this system is not working out for 99% of the people living underneath it.

So the question is, why isn't there a mass revolt? Greater revolts have taken place in history over lesser offenses.

The answer is because most people in this system are living under massive levels of delusion. As mentioned earlier, many of the world's people today, particularly the American people, exist under extensive levels of brainwashing dished out by the corporate media and the education system. The chief delusion is that we are free because we live under a democracy. So when many people see all the environmental and economic destruction around them, they think that voting in the right person or buying the right product will change the results. Yet they never think of questioning democracy itself.

Parliamentary democracy has the potential to be very destructive in our time, just as it was in Ancient Greece and Rome.

Many people in today's democratic societies are very well educated about the murders committed by National Socialist leader Adolf Hitler, and his genocide of 12 million people. Of course this was a very horrible tragedy and deserves severe condemnation. Yet what is not discussed is that the U.S., with all its interventions post World War II, has killed up to 30 million people.

So is Democracy innately peaceful? No it is not. Democracy is not a religion nor a death pact. It is a political ideology. If it works, that's great. But if not, then it's time to try out something else.

That's why it's very important for the creative and radical political philosophers of our time to speak out. This is why it is important to study the trends of other political ideologies around the globe.

AMERICA'S TURN TOWARDS TOTALITARIANISM POST 9/11

Since the terrorist attacks in 2001, there has been a true legal revolution - particularly in America - setting the stage for a totalitarian state.

Now, let's just look at what's happened since 9/11/2001. We had a rampant campaign of military imperialism abroad, and we had - for the first time since the end of the Middle Ages - the legitimization of the use of torture as a means of political policy by the Bush administration; and the Obama administration has done everything possible to make 100% certain that the people who committed these crimes would not be prosecuted. These are nothing short of revolutionary, in terms of actions towards a totalitarian state. You have to understand that neither Hitler nor Stalin ever had the nerve to publicly endorse an abomination like torture in order to justify their keeping themselves in power.

The American government now has the legal power to listen to phone calls, spy on emails, detain people suspected of terrorist activity without trial, and is conducting a covert drone war around the globe where they can kill anyone on the planet without legal boundaries. These actions would have been unthinkable before 2001, yet "terrorism" has been used as a reason to violate America's most cherished liberties. Obama has done much to accelerate and amplify the legal revolution towards totalitarianism that George Bush started.

"So here we have a president – a democratic president – who’s wiping out the Magna Carta, as well as the Constitution," says Daniel Ellsberg, the whistle blower who released the pentagon papers. "King George the Third didn’t have the power. No King of England had that power since John the First."

Ellsberg also mentions Obama's Indefinite Detention Bill, the bill that allows the president to detain anyone he wants without trial or jury:

So, we also have the end of the fairytales that " Oh, the Internet will make totalitarianism impossible." Quite the contrary. Technology has no morality. The entire structure of the internet is centralized in a series of near-monopoly power by a small group of corporations, which could easily be taken over by the state. And, very shocking in the year 2013 via the revelations of a very courageous young man by the name Snowden, we have a revealed that the National Security Agency in the United States has built an electronic system to monitor all American citizens. It's absolutely breathtaking, the power. and it is clear that somebody just needs to hit a computer switch on their keyboard to be able to listen in on any phone call in America. Now, this is truly breathtaking. Really, truly breathtaking. The dreams of Himmler and Beria and other secret police people could virtually never even imagine something like this. And technology such as voice recognition, and things like that enable an enormous increase in monitoring and productivity in the system of a secret police force.

So the fairytales that - technology has no morality, technology can be used one way or the other. And the other issue, which we discussed repeatedly in terms of technology, is you can't understand modern totalitarianism if you don't understand the dynamism of modern totalitarianism. In fact, some have argued that technology makes totalitarianism more possible.

The journalist and social commentator Evgeny Morozov discusses in his "The Net Delusion" the darker side of internet freedom. He argues that people have overlooked the internet's power as an Authoritarian tool. Morozov argues that dictators now have the internet at their finger tips to threaten dissidents, crush opposition and further monitor the private activities of their people.

Another writer, Sheldon S. Wolin has suggested an even more radical idea, the idea that the U.S. is no longer even a democracy at all. He discusses this in his book, "Democracy Incorporated: Managed Democracy and the Specter of Inverted Totalitarianism." In this text he postulates that we could be living in a sort of inverted Totalitarianism. A system in which economic and state powers unify to control the masses. Wolin makes it clear that American Totalitarianism is not comparable to a system like Nazi Germany. Yet it is a system that has its own pathologies and unchecked power. In an endless quest for economic growth and the fight against terror - the politics of inverted Totalitarianism become justified.

However, even this inverted system of totalitarianism will not last. Can it truly rely on China to pay its debts forever? This is not very realistic. This is all further compounded by the global environmental crisis. There are huge questions about the Green Revolution and the prospects that you could have a massive crop failure that would take out tens of millions of people and this will fuel further instability overseas. If the deaths of 3,000 people in the September 11 attacks lead to the current level of paranoia we see right now, imagine what would manifest over the deaths of 10,000 - 100,000, possibly even millions.

So there will be violence to come that could be also used as a justification for terror. It is important to start thinking about how this will shape the future to come.

THE GROWTH OF AUTHORITARIAN MODELS AROUND THE GLOBE

All around the world we see trends towards totalitarianism. ~~They~~ People think totalitarianism will be obvious and that dictators will openly express their authoritarian intentions. Such ridiculous misconceptions are a by-product of our delusional education systems.

The reality is that when totalitarianism comes back in the west, it will be in the name of defending freedom. For example, when Augustus Caesar took control over Rome, he always claimed that his intention was to restore the Roman Republic. Of course this never happened, yet such a proclamation kept people under control by making them think that they were free. So this is how the new totalitarianism will grow in the future to come. It will arrive as the illusion of freedom.

In fact, it can be argued that totalitarianism has much more potential today than it ever did in the past. Future leaders will have a whole multimedia machine of technology at their disposal with which they can control their people. Throughout history, authoritarian leaders were masters of using the cultural trends, media, spectacle and art of their time in order to control the people: This was called Panem et circenses in Rome, or "bread and circuses." Today we have Facebook, Youtube, iphones, and a 24/7, billion dollar multimedia presence - the new and high tech bread and circuses of our time.

So let's take a brief look at the authoritarian situation as it is developing in key nations around the globe.

One of the great ironies of America is its economic connection to China, a totalitarian state that murdered 80 million of its own people in recent times. In the 1970's, it is arguable that American style capitalism would have actually collapsed if China made an alliance with our competitor, the Soviet Union, instead of America. So this puts the whole legitimacy of American styled economics and governance into question.

The conventional wisdom in international relations is that democracy is the one and only model for political and economic growth. Yet China, along with other Asian economic super powers such as Singapore, exist in opposition to such ideas. It has been argued that their authoritarian model is not only conducive to economic growth, but it is a model of the future world to come.

As one of the world's longest lasting civilizations, China's history has deep totalitarian roots. The road to totalitarianism evolved from the "Legalist" school of philosophy.

Lord Shang, a key Legalist thinker ~~who would emerge later~~, penned many of these ideas in "The Book of Lord Shang." Shang states that laws are designed to maintain the stability of the state from the people, who are believed to be innately selfish and ignorant. This is no such thing as objective goodness or virtue in Legalism; it is obedience that is of paramount importance. A harsh ruler is demanded to keep the people of the state under tight control.

Mao Tse-tung, the founding father of the People's Republic in China was a great admirer of Legalism. Mao was also the greatest mass murderer of all time.

"He (Ch'in-Shih-huang, the first emperor of China) only buried alive 460 scholars, while we buried 46,000. In our suppression of the counterrevolutionaries, did we not kill some counterrevolutionary intellectuals? I once debated with the democratic people: You accuse us of acting like Ch'in-shih-huang, but you are wrong; we surpass him 100 times". (Mao's First Speech to the Party Congress, May 17, 1958)

Mao was a blood thirsty tyrant and ultimately caused the deaths 80 million over the course of his regime.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union there was a lot of fairy tale thinking that the whole world would achieve paradise via America's political and economic policies. US Presidents like Bill Clinton hailed China as America's "strategic partner". China would soon become like the US, we were told.

It has not happened. China is today more totalitarian than it was during Clinton's time in office.

Meanwhile, the trade policies of Bill Clinton and the US plutocratic elite have shifted the world economic balance of power to China. Today, in terms of some measures of economic power, China actually has a larger economy than the US.

James Mann wrote the following in a Washington Post opinion article: "The Iraq war isn't over, but one thing's already clear: China won." Now this is confusing. China was never involved in the Iraq war, what does Mann mean by this statement? After 9/11, America has launched several wars around the globe in an imperialist, megalomaniacal attempt to make "the world safe for Democracy." Yet what this has done is bleed America's popularity and influence dry, as well as much of our economic wealth. By contrast, China has been gaining popularity, influence and wealth by leaps and bounds. China is quickly coming into its own as an alternative model to America's free-market, democracy. As the U.S. model is failing, China's model is gaining more popularity around the globe.

Many authoritarian leaders around the world look to China as a blue print. Beijing has shown that dictators don't have to choose between power and profit; they can have both. It has proven that a ruling party can maintain considerable control over information and the internet without slowing economic growth. Western leaders have claimed that the development of the internet and the growth of the middle class in China would surely kindle the fires of a blazing revolution for democracy. Yet this is not so, the Chinese economy has grown by a factor of nine since the infamous protests of 1989 in the Tiananmen Square, and the Communist Party remains firmly in control. Rather than becoming a tool of liberation, the internet has become a tool of authoritarian control, making it much easier to monitor the opinions of the population as well as to crush dissent where it arises. Much of the small middle class that exists in China today is also connected to the Communist Party. This is an urban elite that is given the freedom to wear and buy what they want, travel the world, have luxurious apartments, invest, profit and have affairs. They have no interest in biting the hand that feeds them.

While China's specific model doesn't work for all, they have done considerable work to support and prop up other authoritarian systems around the globe, such as North Korea, Zimbabwe, Sudan, Uzbekistan and Cuba.

China has also established itself as a respectable world power by maintaining and growing its economic ties around the globe, while America fumbles and bumbles in its attempts to spread their system by military force.

China also has deep roots in the area of eugenics research and population enhancement. Since ancient times, eugenics was associated with practices of "good health" in China. While much of this is very controversial from a western point of view, opinions are very different in China. Today China is the world's largest genetic researcher, has one of the fastest growing biotechnology sectors in the world and is currently running the world's largest eugenics program via their "Maternal and Infant Health Law" of 1995 which forbids people with genetic mental or physical disorders from getting married. In short, they are putting much of their resources into figuring out how to make their population stronger, healthier and smarter.

This all adds up to a very ominous challenge for the future of western style democracy.

Unfortunately, all is not well in modern China. China's environmental policies have created the world's largest environmental nightmare. It's doubtful this will end well. If the problems in the "Green Revolution" in agriculture and other horrors get out of control, a far higher death toll could be coming. However, the continuing influence of Legalist philosophy and modern variants of Chinese political ideologies will create the framework for a truly ruthless reign of terror if things explode.

Past experiments with liberal democracy have led Russia to the brink of civil war, economic collapse and the plunder of state resources. Under Yeltsin, Russia was ruled by a weak government with a chaotic economy in its post-soviet years. Yet many Russians now feel much more secure under the "managed democracy" of Putin....

NOTE: discuss more of Russia's growing relation with China, as well as its important economic position in regards to the rest of the globe.

Now it is our view that there's absolutely no question that the government that emerged in the 1930s in Japan was a fascist government. What is less well known or deliberately misconstrued by Western historians is that the evolution of the Japanese government towards an authoritarian model which was very much in keeping with Japanese history. It was also very much in keeping with Japanese religion in terms of both Buddhism and Shintoism. Indeed, Ishihara, the military mastermind of the Japanese seizure of Manchukuo, was a fanatical follower of Nichiren.

Now part of the problem in understanding Japan in the 1930s and the whole ideology is the mixed up view that the West has of Buddhism, and the attempt to portray Buddhism as some sort of pacifist religion which is just a bunch of nonsense, but that's a key part of the Western view. This is simply not true going back to the warrior monks of China and a whole series of other things that we could discuss at length.

In particular the modern idea of Tibetan Buddhism as a pacifist religion is the creation of the current Dalai Lama, not of Tibetan Buddhism.. Tibet has a long history as warrior state and so the evolution of Japan in the 1930s towards an authoritarian state was very much grounded in the origins of Japanese ideology.

While fascism ended up failing in name after World War II, the extent to which it could rise again in Japan is an interesting question, given that the ideology is supported by much of their long term history.

One irony of our times is that India, the world's most populated democracy, just voted in the ultra far-right, neo fascist Narendra Modi.

So when you look at America, you look at a pathological society out of touch with reality. Now there's an old saying that "what goes around comes around." You can go back to the ancient Indian concept - ancient Sanskrit concepts of Dharma and Karma. Dharma is God's law, Karma is whether you go forward or backwards.

Now, as the pathological American system takes over much of the known globe and destoys the biological foundations of life, there are going to be consequences. Not just for those in charge, but for everyone.

There is going to be a violent sorting out of the haves and the have-nots. As the environmental hyper bubble explodes, there is going to be a drastic reduction in the number of people around. So rather than thinking about the nonsense of everybody's life being worthwhile and so on, you're going to be talking about the brutal sorting out of the haves and the have-nots, and this has been quite normal in history. We would certainly agree that if you could freeze today's world, we are in many ways living in the greatest era history. The problem is that we are living on borrowed wealth and borrowed time. Today's world is an artificial construct. Its history being a wheel, and we have to go back down the other side, because this is not a stable system going forward.

The world as we see it is a giant debt balloon, an environmental debt balloon, and increasingly, an economic debt balloon. The whole argument for destroying the environment was, "Well, they're going to build this wonderful economic utopia." And that really isn't working either. We've heard the good news: the poverty rates have come down. Why have poverty rates come down? Well, the key part of that is from China, a genocidal dictatorship that has murdered 80 million of its own citizens. Perhaps they are not the most reliable people to rely on for statistics. The actual number of people in poverty is going up; the actual number of people in the slums worldwide is going up, not down.

Now what's coming is death on an enormous scale. What is not widely discussed is how that structure of death is going to be implemented. Now when you cut through the bull, when you cut through the lies, when you cut through the false advertising of today's plutocratic elite - particularly in America - here is the way they plan to have this work. As we have established, these people are very confused and they are very sick, so the level of rational thinking in these people is not very high. However at the end of the day, the way they look at this situation is that the poor are going to be on the receiving end of disaster should things go wrong, and the rich will survive. This is just one more part of their enormous state of delusion, because America for example, is highly vulnerable to the consequences of global warming, particularly in the Southwest, which is a completely artificial world, and changes in the weather can happen very quickly.

There's also the X factor. The issue of an EMP natural or technological attack, and the wholesale level of bad karma that America has generated by its criminal behavior around the world. So this is all not shaping up to be a very good situation.

But overall, the assumption that the poor are the only ones who will suffer in the violence and collapse to come is symptomatic of plutocratic insanity. Yes, there will be a violent sorting out of who lives and who dies, but as the global environmental and financial system implodes, it won't just be the poor on the receiving end of this collapse. The structure of our economic and environmental systems are all interconnected. So overall, there is going to be a mass violence coming that will effect people on all rungs of the economic ladder.

So it is important to study the alternative political models that are developing right now, and considering how these political models will respond to the violence.

As societies accelerate towards authoritarianism, there will be increased control over the population - and increased control over human breeding. This is nothing new. Ancient governments like that of Sparta and China had such policies in place.

Yet what will be new is the introduction of technology into the mix. And this will be necessary, given the nature of the future disasters to come. History has always been a struggle between the "haves" and the "have nots," but the violent future to come will be even more so. And the various powers around the world will begin to participate in a biological arms race in order to tip the odds of survival in their favor.

The manipulation of the human genome is the next big technological wave of the future. China is already conducting research on this matter right now. Yet in many ways, such research is still considered controversial.

Western political leaders are going to do what they've sworn they would never do, they will eventually use biotechnology to change the human genetic code, and to manipulate the human genome for the production of super soldiers. In the near term this is going to be, shall we say, a messy process. They're going to produce an awful number of freaks, monsters and God knows what. So this isn't going to be pretty, like a good part of world history. But this will lead to a possible mass production of genetic super soldiers, and a kind of incarnation of Aldus Huxley's Brave New World, but on a much more ruthless and much more sophisticated scale. There will also be the cloning of people, particularly, major figures in history.

Is there a "moral line" that Western leaders won't cross in terms of genetic experimentation on human beings? That's what they would like people to believe, that there are certain things that they would just "never do" because of some idea of human rights.

Yet we are talking about the same American leaders who murdered 1 million people in Iraq. We're talking about wonderful people such as Madeleine Albright, a product of the liberal establishment, who said that killing 500,000 Iraqi children was "worth it." Look back at the history of America. Did they hesitate to use the atom bomb in World War II or chemical warfare in Vietnam? No. And they won't hesitate to jump into the new arena of biotechnology warfare either. What will happen instead is that a major disaster will be used as grounds for the development and deployment of biotechnological weapons. The people in charge will claim, "We don't want it, but we have to do it." And then we will see human beings developed into the weaponry of the future.

We've already seen America betray much of what it claims to believe in after 9/11. Political leaders have justified the use of torture, imprisonment without trial, the phone tapping of millions, and the power of the president to assassinate people around the globe in a drone war that knows no international limits or boundaries.

So the beginning of the biotechnological arms race will come a lot sooner to the West than many people believe. Think about it. What if you can produce a person that's two or three times smarter than the average person, or two to three times stronger? Do you think the government won't do it? That's rubbish.

The development of super humans is no longer science fiction. It is a major industry in China.

China has seen the double digit growth of its biotechnology sector in recent times, and has one of the fastest growing biotechnology sectors in the world. The key national biotech body in the country is the China National Center for Biotechnology Development. Today in China, the field of biotechnology is a billion dollar industry.

China is also now home to the world's largest genetic research center - BGI Shenzhen. BGI-Shenzhen currently employs more than 4,000 researchers. It has far more "next-generation" DNA sequencers than anywhere else in the world, and is sequencing more than 50,000 genomes per year.

In China, scientists are busy at work trying to figure out which genes control intelligence, and how parents can rig the genetic lottery.

At BGI Shenzhen, scientists have collected DNA samples from 2,000 of the world’s smartest people and are sequencing their entire genomes in an attempt to identify the alleles which determine human intelligence (an allele is a variant of a gene).

Yet such technology would not only be utilized to select genes oriented towards intelligence, it could also be mobilized to select other traits, like strength, speed, health, hair color, eye color and even impulse control. It is also said that it may be possible to isolate genetic factors of personality, such as how conservative, liberal, religious or non-religious a person may turn out.

So developments in genetic research will be especially valuable in the creation of super soldiers. If this technology is successful, the soldiers of tomorrow could be capable of super human feats. We're talking about mutant combatants with regenerating limbs, faster reaction times, improved unit cohesion, a lowered need for sleep, and resistance to chemical, nuclear and biological warfare.

Once again, such ideas sound like science fiction. Yet experiments done on mice have revealed how human muscle tissue can be genetically enhanced. Such an application in human beings would be a formidable weapon for any military.

Already the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense, The Pentagon, have begun research into human transgenics. As of now, DARPA (the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency) has a functioning exoskeleton that enables soldiers to run faster and handle heavy weights (biotech articles).

So what are other countries doing about their own super soldier programs? It is hard to tell because much of this information is classified. “Other countries are also interested in these areas but are not so open as the U.S. about what they are doing, so it is difficult to know exactly what is going on in many cases,” notes Rod Flower, a professor at the William Harvey Research Institute in the U.K. and the chair of the Royal Society’s biomods study.

Not only will there be experimentation on creating super humans, but there will also be a further development of ways to attack the human immune system and genome. The ability to alter genes can be both an asset and a threat. On the upside, genetic modification could establish peace by making populations live longer, need less food, and genuinely enhance the quality of life. Yet a researcher named Andrew Herr points out the downside. He states that breaking down genes is easier than fixing them.

"In one dire scenario, an army might attack its enemies by changing their physiology to make them dumber, slower and more afraid. In The Atlantic recently, two researchers even discussed the possibility of governments or terror groups genetically assassinating enemy leaders by tailoring cancers specifically to the target’s DNA. The authors pointed out that the U.S. State Department already surreptitiously collects DNA samples from foreign dignitaries (Wired)."

The nation with the ability to wield such technology will truly have a competitive edge on the world stage.

This is a matter that we need to think creatively about, because there's going to be very tough decisions made in the future about who lives and who dies. When the environmental underpinnings of this whole nightmare collapses, there's going to be a lot more frank talk about who's going to be around and who isn't. For a good part of the people on this planet, the great high-tech world order, it's going to be like a video game screen flashing of a bright red "Game Over" for them. So they probably are not going to take that very kindly, and that's why there's going to be a lot of violence. And that will further fuel the whole need for the biological super soldiers to restore order.

Civilizations throughout history have always taken controversial measures to protect their own people and to improve their own stock by whatever means possible. Some civilizations were a bit more controversial than others (such as the Spartans for example), but this has been a norm of human history. That's not going to change now.

So it is important to study this matter further and to think about how it will be implemented in the violent world coming.

[For these sections I have copy and pasted parts of audios that relate to the subject matter, but I still need to smooth this out more.]

As we discussed in the previous lecture, the New World, the real world, not the fairytale world that's promised by the plutocrats that's never going to be, but the real world is going to be a ruthless sorting out of the "haves" and "have-nots." That's already going on right now in terms of non-human life where a staggering half of all nonhuman life has been exterminated since the 1970s, and the wholesale destruction of nonhuman life is a truly breathtaking holocaust of truly horrendous dimensions. Indeed we are living in the middle of the greatest wave of mass murder of other species and destruction since the Permian extinction 250 million years ago.

Now this has consequences for the human situation because as we sort out the haves and have-nots, that's gonna be a choice of who lives and who dies. Will this be done purely on the basis of money? That is doubtful. There's a second point, in the struggle for power there will be a need for biological super soldiers. So where does all this lead? Where all this leads is that the political leaders, the big hypocrites, they are going to do what they've sworn they won't do, which is to use biotechnology to change the human genetic code and to manipulate the human genetic code for the production of super soldiers.

Since you've seen America totally betray everything they claim to believe in since 911, this is going to be a lot shorter and a lot easier to do than many people think. There is already a major eugenics program in China, the full extent of which is not known. But you will have a biological arms race. Think about it. What if you can produce a person that's two or three times as smart as the average person. They're not gonna do it? Really? Rubbish, that's rubbish. In the near term this is going to be, shall we say, a messy process. They're going to produce an awful number of freaks, monsters and God knows what, and so this isn't going to be pretty, like a good part of world history, but then again, the whole future of this country isn't going to be pretty. But this will lead to a possible mass production of genetic super soldiers, and a kind of incarnation of Aldus Huxley's Brave New World, but on a much more ruthless and much more sophisticated scale. Huxley's thing was just too crude and not really all that well thought through. That won't be a problem in the future, and you will have cloning of people. You can have cloning of major figures in history.

This is all likely to be coming. So that's a very important point to understand what's coming. They are going to try to take control of the human genetic code. This is sort of a taboo subject we need to think of a way in which this can be discussed in a more politically correct, I suppose way, a more honest way, so people understand the nature of what's coming. There's the notion that "they wouldn't do something like that." Really? I mean the American leaders who murdered 1 million people in Iraq? Some wonderful person like Madeleine Albright, a product of good establishment liberalism said killing 500,000 Iraqi children was "worth it." Look back at the history of America, the mass murders committed by America in World War II with a wholesale mass murder of civilians, the mass murder of civilians in North Korea. In Vietnam you had the great establishment figure of liberalism, Mr. McGeorge Bundy, who launched a war that killed 3 million third world people in Indochina, and involved the largest wholesale use of chemical weapons against civilians since the Nazi Holocaust.

So these are not nice people and they are not going to be inhibited by any code of moral values. You can be sure of that. They've already revealed to the world the kind of people they are. So this is something we need to think creatively about because there's going to be very tough decisions made about who lives and who dies, and that goes into the issue of euthanasia and so on. So there's already a very systematic system of mass murder in place as we talk right now. It's known as get rich or die. So poverty throughout history has been a very effective weapon of mass destruction, and that of course is not new. It's just more prettied up today and more hypocritical. However, when the environmental underpinnings of this whole nightmare collapses, there's going to be a lot more frank talk about who's gonna be around and who isn't. For a good part of the people on this planet, the great high-tech world order, it's going to be like a videogame screen flashing of a bright red "Game Over" for them. So they probably are not going to take that very kindly, and that's why there's going to be a lot of violence. And that further fuels the whole need for the biological super soldiers to restore order and etc. etc.

So these are some creative thoughts that we also need to integrate into what we're talking about and in particular in trying to see what's coming. The genome and stuff like that. What are the harbingers that we see right now, particularly in China.

THE AWAKENING OF THE COLLECTIVE UNCONSCIOUS

AWARENESS OF TRUTH, FATE, GOD

Much of what we've mentioned may sound negative. Perhaps it is in the near term, but in the overall cycle of time this is merely evolution. This will all be part of returning the world to a natural state.

After the winter comes the spring. When you walk through the forest in the spring, you see the primordial power of nature as the leaves emerge from the trees, as the flowers bloom. Today on our planet we have a sick, evil world system, that is a culture of death. But beneath the concrete, beneath the illusions, is the power of the spring. We can feel the huge primordial power of nature. It's like the wind: you cannot see the wind, but you can feel its power. It is said that a tree without roots cannot survive the storm, and in today's world order is a tree without roots. When we look into the future, we need to think about the political future. How is all this going to change? Time remains the same. History remains the same. Today's world order is a gigantic lie. It's a gigantic lie. A gigantic debt against the future.

Nature will reemerge out of the cold of today's winter. It will become the power of the spring, as a new world is born out of the bloody ruins of the world that we see now. It is a revelation of truth. It is a destruction of lies. And you need to put this in terms of time. This so-called New World Order, capitalism, American-style democracy, the concept of Christianity as a global religion, these are all very short-term delusions, and very malevolent delusions in the billions of years of time. So, you have to look at this in terms of the enormous forces that are reasserting themselves.

In our time artists, and modern day shamans will emerge as expressions of the collective unconscious, to warn people and to guide people as the situation evolves. We are to warn people about the malevolent situation, and we are to provide guidance to how society will return to a primordial order.

A key part of the sickness of today's world is the sickness of the soul. The sickness of the spirit. Part of this is from almost 2,000 years of Christian, sexual perversions. Another part of this is from the general destruction of the planet.

The art of a society is an indication of what is going on at the collective unconscious level. The fact that modern art - colored pieces of vomit - are hailed as some great art is a testament to the sickness of the soul going on in today's world. So there needs to be an artistic revolution.

Nature is a ferocious system that has survived for billions of years. It has stood the test of time. We know that nature is truth.

This is a guide for today's prophets who want to learn more about how they can be a force of truth.

From the beginning of time, the oral tradition, music and art have been used to communicate truth.

The global internet revolution is the greatest communications revolution in history,
far more powerful than the printing press or television.

SHATTERING THE POWER OF LIES AND MIND CONTROL

BREAKING THROUGH THE BRAINWASHING OF TODAY'S EDUCATION SYSTEMS AND THE MEDIA

Getting in touch with inner truth in today's world is very difficult because we are living in a very sick society where lies are propagated as truths on every level: whether it be a mass media outlet or the education system.

Now the current system - particularly America - is a system of brainwashing. The education system is the biggest source of brainwashing in this country, which tells people that the American system is the one system and the best system for the entire planet; and that any current failures of the system are just a temporary hiccup in an otherwise healthy system.

Yet the truth always wins out. While the American people are told at every level that their system is good, at a deeper level, many people are awakening to the truth.

This is part of the reason why a movie such as The Matrix became so popular. This is because it had the idea of people being trapped within a lie. Yet the Matrix of today is much more effective than the one in the movie, because it doesn't need all kinds of machinery to to enforce itself. It enforces itself through the power of deceit, through the power of making people think they're free when they are not. Today's slavery is much more effective than the old slavery because it does not need chains and whips to function. All it needs is the chains around the mind. This is something that Sun Tzu talked about. He said that warfare is a battle for the mind and those who conquer the minds of their enemies have already won the war.

THE EMERGENCE OF POLITICAL PROPHETS IN OUR TIME

Today we are fighting a battle for the mind. We are fighting a battle for the truth; and how does somebody living in today's toxic society access the truth? They tap into great music, great art and great film. In toxic societies, much of the great art comes from outside of the mainstream. If a river is poisoned, clean water will not flow from that river, it will come from an alternative source. So it is the forces outside the mainstream, the underground, the people in the underground - these are the people we are trying to reach, that is the source where tomorrow's leaders will come from.

The key fighters in today's battle for truth are the creative shamans and the political prophets of truth living among us.

Those of you we are talking about, deep down in your gut, you know who you are.

It is often that the people who changed history were not necessarily the richest, or the most politically connected individuals, but they were the people who had an awareness of truth, and the courage to step forward.

Don't ask, "What can I do?" Think, "What will happen if I don't step forward?" Action is needed in today's world more than ever. After all, what is the alternative? To do nothing? That's really quite pathetic.

It was Edmund Burke who said, "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

Hope for the future has a cost, and that victory is not comfortable or easy. As Chris Hedges as said, "Hope requires personal risk. Hope is action. Hope is doing something."

Having a lot of money or political power is not the only instrument of change, not even the most powerful instrument. History is made by those who step forward.

Let's look at examples of prophetic voices in history. Alexander Solzhenitsyn was imprisoned by the Soviet Union. He was a nobody in a concentration camp and was one day thinking of committing suicide, and a sort of a voice came out of the darkness in his head that said "today no one will hear you, but tomorrow the whole world will hear you." And Alexander Solzhenitsyn, this nobody in a concentration camp, wrote a series of books that rocked one of the most powerful empires in the world to its very foundations and helped bring it down in one of the most spectacular collapses in world history.

Now these prophets are humans, they are not angels, they're negative aspects to all these people, but it's the importance of the power of the truth.

Another example, probably the most spectacular example in history was Martin Luther in 1517. Here's a guy in Renaissance Germany who was a complete nothing, a complete nobody, a monk off in a tinker toy town off in Wittenberg, off in the middle of nowhere in Saxony, who writes a thesis that the Catholic Church is full of corruption and nails it to the door of his church, that was the only way he could think of protesting, he set off a religious earthquake which rocked the Catholic Church to its very foundation and changed the entire course of the history of Europe, the entire course of German history, the entire course of Christian history.

After the winter comes the spring. When you walk through the forest in the spring, you see the primordial power of nature as the leaves emerge from the trees and as the flowers bloom.

In today's toxic world, there is a primeval revolution growing beneath the surface. You see it in the resurgence of indigenous religions around the globe, you see it as the subconscious message in the great art, movies, and music of our time.

The main force of this revolution will come from the underground, from the people who are on the receiving end of this system. These are the people we are trying to reach. These are the people who will bring us back to eternal values and earth based values.

Time is like a spring, and today's unnatural world order has pushed the spring so far in one direction, that it's going to lash back in the other direction in a very nasty and violent manner.

Today we are seeing a period of unprecedented peace in the developed world. Yet this is a peace that has been bought temporarily via massive debts against the environment and economy. Can America sustain it's debts forever? No.

FALSEHOOD IN RELIGION

THE COMING COLLAPSE OF FAKE GODS

[If you wanted to make this text shorter I would consider leaving this part out, because to be honest, we really have no clue what could happen to Christianity. It could die out. It could fuse with another religion. It could become another thing entirely. We don't really know. It also brings up the question, do we want to turn off the Christian people who might agree with us? Do we want to spend time talking about what we're against, rather than what we're for?]

As mentioned earlier, many of today's toxic ideas are a result of sick ideas about religion and sex. Many of these ideas began about 1600 years ago with an event that brought the Roman Empire to collapse and ushered in the Dark Ages.

When the Roman Empire adopted Christianity as its main religion in 395 A.D., this unleashed a reign of terror the likes of which the world had never known, in terms of totalitarian terror. Much of this was inspired by the Jewish Old Testament, and the church proclaimed itself to be the new Israel. This is important to discuss, because this is a foundation for much of the sick religious ideas, and perverted ideas about sex that exist in the western world today. In ancient times fertility cults and goddesses were connected to ideas about life and natural sexuality. We're not saying that ancient Rome was a bastion of women's rights by any standard, yet when Christianity came to power, fertility goddesses were replaced by the sexless Virgin Mary and ideas about sexuality and the natural forces of life in general would become perverted.

This, again, had never happened before. Now the Roman empire definitely had its own share of brutality, in terms of slavery and the genocide of people who wouldn't go along with their program (the Menai massacre of the druids and the citizens of Carthage for example). Yet Rome survived because it was a tolerant place in terms of accepting different religious practices - as long as these religions showed their respect for the emperor. Various different religions and cultures all coexisted together at some level in the Roman empire. For example, the "Regina Caeli Laetare," or mural of the Egyptian goddess Isis suckling her son Horus was a popular image in Rome, and is even said to have inspired the later "Madonna suckling Christ." Another example of syncretic practice is that many Roman soldiers took to worshipping the Gallic horse goddess Epona after serving with Gallic troops. So religion wasn't a monolithic concept in Rome. It was something that was constantly changing, evolving and adapting to fit the new cultures and peoples encountered by the Romans.

The idea that early Christians experienced persecution in Rome is a fabrication of Christian scholars and a highly exaggerated affair in terms of historical realities. In the few instances that Christians were persecuted or sent to jail - it was more for their refusal to follow Roman laws, or for stirring up political dissent, rather than for their core beliefs. The stories of Christians being fed to the lions is pure fiction on the part of later Christian scholars. The first and second century A.D. were one of the most well recorded time periods in history, and there is almost no written accounts of Christian persecutions that took place in this era.

Yet when Christianity was imposed upon Rome in the 4th century A.D, this unleashed a wholesale extermination of all competing religions, the destruction of temples, the burning of the Library of Alexandria and the destruction of ancient learning. Jews, pagans and even other Christians were tortured and killed for not adopting the correct version of Christianity.

Ancient Rome was a highly advanced civilization that existed for around 1,000 years. Yet a mere 80 years after adopting Christianity the whole empire collapsed. Europe was plunged into a dark age that would last for a very long time. The Western part of the empire collapsed completely, and the Eastern part known as the "Byzantine Empire"(which was slightly more tolerant than the west), would become a decaying fossil of its former Roman glory until its conquest by the Ottomans in 1453 A.D.

The dominance of Christianity in today's world is a very short term event in the spectrum of world history. There was the brutal and genocidal conquest of North and South America. Then there was the conquest of most of the world by western imperialism in the last 200 years. By the end of the 19th century, western Christan forces dominated a majority of the globe. What results were produced under this leadership? Two brutal world wars and now the greatest destruction of the environment ever seen in human history.

After the disaster of World War II, the tide of Christian leadership began to recede. This is a trend that will only accelerate as time unfolds.

Is Christianity a religion of peace? Read the quotes above and decide for yourself.

That plan is shut up, don't ask questions, be ashamed of yourselves and seek redemption for your inherit wickedness by being your husband's slave.

REVOLUTIONARY SEXUALITY

THE REBIRTH OF A PRIMEVAL LIFE FORCE

As Christianity collapses, so too will the sick ideas about women and sexuality that served as form of mind control to keep it in power. Crude, wild sexuality will again be celebrated as the positive, powerful primeval life force that it is. Women and gays will again celebrate their sexuality.

Already the world of music and art are 100 years ahead of politics. Women are breaking the chains of Christian bondage as they rise up and assert their own power. In Joan Jett's, I Love Rock and Roll, she goes into a bar and chooses a lover for herself, instead of waiting around at home for prince charming.

However, like so many matters this is going to be like a powerful spring being unleashed. There will be a wild revolution that will leave much chaos in its wake. Yet .... like the hurricanes that nature unleashed... this is but a part of deep forces being reborn.

When society has been pushed in one unnatural direction for so long, it tends to snap back in the other direction quite quickly. There were many positive effects of the 1960's sexual revolution. The whole artificial sexual moral structure of America basically disintegrated, and people began to explore different sexual relationships outside the bigoted and unreal confines of the pseudo-morality of the 1950s. At the same time, there was widespread use of drugs and people began to explore ancient religions, alternative religions to the traditional Christian point of view.

However, as in most revolutionary periods, there were a lot of excesses. So these excesses obviously had negative consequences on people's lives. Yet the important thing to note here is that as people began to open their minds about sexuality, they also began to understand the importance of respecting the environment. There were many environmental reforms in the 1970's and several successes in this area. Yet when looking at the environmental disaster that is our world today, there is obviously much, much more that needs to be done.

We believe the destruction of the environment today is connected to sick ideas about sexuality. Nature itself is a life force, a force of fertility. Taking a sick view of fertility means having a sick view about nature and life itself. We see this manifested in the poisoning of sexuality in modern times. Today many people have sexual diseases, there is also a rise in the numbers of young men shooting blanks or failing to stand attention when duty calls - if you know what we mean.

Many religious leaders have supported denying America's youth a proper sex education. As a result, millions of lives have been ruined by the spread of STI's, rape and unwanted pregnancies. Teen pregnancy in America is the highest in the developed world, and has especially high rates in the states that practice abstinence only education. Also, out the 19 million individuals who transmit a STI, a good 9.1 million of them are teenagers. So you can see that religious delusions about sex are connected to the poisoning of sexuality itself - much like many of the toxins and poisons we are now seeing build up in the natural world.

So there will be a primal return to ancient ideas about sexuality and the current religious perversions will crumble. Yet this will be a brutal process, because sexuality in the ancient world was also brutal. This won't be the flower power, oasis of peace and love that people imagine about the ancient world.

In the Ancient World The Goddess represented the raw, sexual power of the Earth.

Sexuality in the ancient world was in the open as a natural, primeval life force.

LIFE FATE AND DEATH: THE RESPONSIBILITY OF RELIGION TO PROTECT THE BIOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF LIFE

In most of the world's prominent religions, there is a logic and an order to life.

Actions have consequences. Inaction also has consequences. If a person is required by fate to act, severe consequences can follow if that person does not have the courage and the vision to do what is necessary.

There is a central concept of God and justice. We certainly are not saying all religions are the same. They are not. However, even in many polytheistic religions there is a concept of one supreme God. When the Catholic Church seized control of Europe it introduced the cult of the saints to replace the worship of different gods. It was a kind of Christian fusion of polytheism and monotheism.

The world is alive with power of the supernatural. This is not some exotic concept. It is a logical concept where people can be given the power to rise to the challenges they face. It is the control of chance.

Divine justice is omnipresent. People can face consequences during any second of their lives.

It is obvious that life here is all too often a total macabre joke in terms of justice. However, in terms of the real future, it is not.

An eternal vision of life is key to understanding the real future and real concepts of justice. This vision of reality is essential if people are to be able to have the will power and the courage to pay a bloody price here to achieve what is necessary.

Life is not an end in itself. It certainly is not based on idiotic concepts such as the "pursuit of happiness."

A warrior who understands reality will be far more powerful. A warrior who is willing to die for a cause is a far more powerful than one clinging to the pathetic and futile "pursuit of happiness".

As we look at today's world, we need to think in terms of time. Today's world order in its current form has no future.

It is said that if you sow the wind you will reap the whirlwind. Today's society is a malevolent, suicidal mess. It is the greatest destruction of life since the Permian extinction 250 million years ago. And now half the wildlife on the planet has been killed in the last 40 years.

In order to challenge this evil, warriors must have a vision of the real future.

In ancient Europe there was the glorious vision of Valhalla. Fallen heroes would enjoy a glorious future.

This set of values is repeated throughout many difference cultures. In Islam there is the concept of the Jihad, the holy war. Fallen heroes would enjoy a paradise filled with a lot of exciting features, including sexual pleasures.

In Hinduism and some sects of Buddhism there is a system of cosmic rebirth in accordance with laws of value. A life of bad deeds leads to a rebirth in an inferior position. A life of good deeds leads to a rebirth in a better position. A life of exceptional merit supersedes the whole process of reincarnation and unites a soul with God.

There is an important difference between Christianity and Islam as opposed to Hinduism and Buddhism. The former offers only one judgment. The latter can see a soul reborn thousands of times. In light of the huge death toll coming to our planet, the Asian vision might be more politically acceptable in light of the many chances that are presented to life. However, we certainly are not going to get into a theological debate about which of these religions is better.

However, a key point is that as the current world order collapses, there is going to be a lot of interest in the whole concept of a real long term future as the "pursuit of happiness" here goes up in smoke.

Around the world we see radical religious groups growing in power. We see the coming dictators using religion or creating their own religions to claim the "mandate of heaven".

Throughout history religion has been a very sharp double edged sword. It can be a huge source of evil as well as good. We have carefully documented this in our study of Christian Totalitarianism, where an obscure sect seized power in the Roman Empire and launched the most massive campaign of religious persecution and cultural destruction in history, which rather quickly destroyed the world's number one empire. Today, we see many powerful Christian sects calling for "Holy War" and opposing elemental scientific necessities like clean energy and responsible sex education, threatening the very survival of life on this planet. (This does not mean all Christians are bad. Indeed, Pope Francis has taken some very positive steps about global environmental policies.)

Unfortunately, religious criminality and lunacy are not restricted to Christianity. The Mayans and the Aztecs had grotesque systems of ritual torture and human sacrifice, sometimes killing ten of thousands in their ceremonies. Some experts say that the Mayans brought about their own collapse due to destructive environmental policies.

We see our role as a force in trying to set some positive priorities for the world's religions, specifically actions to stop today's suicidal destruction of life on this planet. There are signs of hope today such as the recent declaration by Pope Francis about today's global environmental crisis. Indeed, many leaders of religion around the world are speaking out in a very positive manner about environmental matters.

The road ahead is a dark one. There is certain to be a lot of violence and death. The future leaders who must deal with this violence cannot rise to this challenge without presenting a dynamic vision of hope. This is why it is important to discuss religion.

We certainly do not claim to have exact answers for the role of each person or each religion. We are not about to serve as some sort of rating service for the world's religions.

However, a common sense combination of the hard realities of science with faith can set some clear moral priorities.

It's really not that complicated. We need to stop destroying the biological foundations of life on this planet or nature is going to destroy us. Today's destruction of the natural world is the greatest crime and the greatest suicidal stupidity in history. Returning our planet to nature's laws should be a moral goal for all people of faith.

RETURNING TO THE EMPEROR AS THE FIGURE FOR REFORM

THINKING CREATIVELY ABOUT POLITICAL SYSTEMS AND THE FUTURE DICTATORS TO COME

So right now is the calm before the storm. The calm before the storm. And we need to think creatively about who will be the new Caesars, how bloody and violent will that get, because a lot of people are going to object to sweeping away the system to create the autocratic rule that's necessary to put through the reforms. And the answer is probably quite bloody, but this is the kind of creative thinking that we need to do, and place a modern America and the modern structure of parliamentary democracy in a in a deeper historical context.

So again we've got to look at reality, history, time, what's real, what's not real. In our time, media repeats garbage, giving it the semblance of reality. So you when you think about it, the overwhelming majority of books have been published since 1945. That doesn't mean just because you repeat things over and over again and distribute a whole lot of rubbish to the media, that doesn't make it real. And reality is intruding on fantasy. So what we are looking for is people who are visionaries. Fate, God, there is an overall center of truth. And people - it is a spiritual truth - people can tune into that, and as they tune into that, they will get back in touch with reality. And to clean up the mess created by the current bunch of criminals and lunatics and morons who are running things, there's going to have to be very harsh measures. It's very important to understand that the current world order is leading to death an enormous scale. At least 2 billion people are going to die in the next 50 years. That's the good news. It could be a lot higher. So in that kind of world, autocrats are going to come to power and what we need to think about is the shape of autocratic governments that are going to put in the tough decisions to get the planet back in touch with reality

But what can be sorted out is the need for an enormous concentration of power and to make the tough decisions to save the planet. All dissent may need to be crushed, because in a total crisis situation there will be a need to get things done no matter what. The paradox facing the totalitarian regimes is that they don't ossify themselves as the former Soviet Union did. There is a paradox. There is an internal contradiction here which will need to be resolved by these governments, because there still is a need for a certain amount of open debate and the role of the Internet in that is unclear. That's a paradox which we have not totally clarified - nobody else has because hardly anybody else is thinking about the collapse of the system. The assumption is "well the system will have problems, but we'll go on having elections and somehow this will be just be wonderful." That's BS and that's not going to happen. But it's important that we continue these lectures and look back in history at all previous dictators to get a creative vision of what's to come.

Technology is a double-edged sword. We've seen all the fairytales that because of the Internet a dictatorship can never happen and that if you have a Facebook page you can bring down the government and so on; You don't need worry about the government being authoritarian. This is a again part of a set of delusions to keep people quiet and to believe in a fake future - a false future - a phony future - a fraudulent future that's never going to happen. One of the reasons we recommend people get out into the depths of nature, or listen to some of the music that we have listed on our site, or watch some of the videos is to connect to a subconscious reality that filters out all the junk that's been put in your head. It's like the red pill in the matrix. It's to filter out all the garbage and focus on the grim reality of what's coming.

The media as we discussed from our very founding - the power of the media - the power of the Internet enables a dictator to become more powerful, not less powerful. The leaders who will emerge will be very charismatic leaders who can communicate in a very hypnotic manner and the Internet will enable these people to build up supporters and come to power sooner rather than later. In the study for example of Nazi Germany, people forget that the Gestapo was a very very small organization, there was really no need for a big secret police. The Stasi in East Germany was 20 times the size of the Gestapo as a percentage of the population. The concentration camps prior to Kristallnacht were largely empty. Why? Because Hitler had such a hypnotic hold over the population.

In times of political crisis, people look for a savior. They tend to be more susceptible to religious cults and this is a key factor in the coming totalitarian regimes that will come to power: the ability to tap cell phones for example - the ability to tap phones via computers is enormously increased. The power of the state is enormously increased via technology. So you need to filter out of your head all the garbage that just because of the Internet life is going to be happy happy and so on. This is junk that's sold to you by your leaders to make you think that things are going to be okay. However as we mentioned in today's world, the Internet does give you an opportunity to communicate, that is true. But where is all this going? We need to think in terms of where all this is going in terms of the emerging lords of the earth and these people will use art, they will use music to keep themselves in power

The issue of the religious structure of what's coming is related to the geographic structure of what's coming. We see a demise of Christianity, but this is not 100% clear. What is clear, is that there will be the opportunity for emerging political cults to supersede established religions or to co-op them. The details of which - that's an interesting question - I think that cannot be sorted out right now.

We happen to believe in the concept of the collective unconscious, and the idea of nature as a living entity, and a larger issue of moral value. So, people will step forward to be political prophets to halt the road to disaster. It's very important to understand that these people will not, and cannot be restricted by thousands of chatter about human rights, and stuff like that, because that will simply not be adequate to ram through the reforms that will straighten things out. History remains the same. In ancient Rome, when there was a crisis, they appointed a dictator. This is as old as history. Modern parliamentary democracy is kind of an artificial party produced by bleeding white the entire environmental future of the planet. It's an artificial state, and will completely self-destruct. So, the coming leaders are going to be nature's vengeance, nature's harbingers.

THE REAL FUTURE

TIME COMES FULL CIRCLE

Within all forms of life is a primeval will to live. Some may think our ideas about the Emperor are harsh or maybe even evil. In reality, the greatest evil of all time is today's world "order" under the rule of American Imperialism. What could be more evil (and stupid) than destroying the very biological foundations of life?

So drastic actions are going to be taken... no matter what happens. The sooner drastic actions are taken, the sooner reform begin, the sooner a global healing process can take place.

We are going to return to nature's world. The only issue in doubt is the death toll and the survival of the human species.

In other words, the time for reform is now. We support change within today's system. We hope western so-called "democracy" can work. That would be best. However, this system is so rotten that these hopes are not likely to happen. Thus, the only responsible thing to do is look back into history and learn from the past. The coming Emperor is the likely real future. This is reality.

Yesterday, today and tomorrow, nature's laws remain the same. They have ruled our planet and the known universe for billions of years. They are not going to change.

We need to understand the real world of nature. It is a world of breath taking beauty, from the majesty of a mountain sunset to the wonder of the galaxies that we can see in the night sky. However, it is also a ferocious world.

Our ancestors lived in that world. It was not the world seen by all too many middle class western environmentalists. Indeed, such people would probably see real nature as a kind of Green Hell on Earth. Not only was nature severe but people were too. War and violence were a regular part of that world.

However, our ancestors had a raw will to live. History now comes full circle. The deluded effort to build the "American Dream" by destroying nature will produce its own demise and a ferocious judgment. Indeed, the great historian Arnold Toynbee, observed that while nature chastised man with whips, technology will one day chastise man with scorpions. Albert Einstein in his later years observed that modern society was run by technological geniuses and moral imbeciles, thus paving the way for its own destruction.

In ancient Greece, Alexander the Great paved the way for the transition of the Greek world from the narrow-minded "Polis" of Greek city states to the world empire of the "Cosmopolis". Democracy in Athens was swept away into oblivion. Today, we move relentlessly to our own version of a "Cosmopolis", a giant totalitarian super state. Mindlessly clinging to malevolent, failed ideas is not a moral action.

We must have the moral courage and the vision to hail the emergence of the new severe age to come and to get ready.

We see ourselves as prophets of what is to come. This is our role. This is our time.

We can look at our sacrifices. We can look at our challenges. We can look at the dangers we face.

However, we must also look at what our ancestors faced every day in the ferocious primeval world of nature, in the freezing cold of winter in a world where even a slight change in the weather could nearly wipe out entire tribes.

There is also a moral vision. All great societies have had a vision of karma, the rebirth of the spirit in accordance of the actions of the spirit.

This has not changed. Success or failure here has to be measured in moral terms. This is the real future.

In the bloody struggles to come many heroes will fall. However, as in the past, they will pass over into a better world if they have proved to be valiant. On the battlefields of northern Europe the Valkyries welcomed the dead heroes into the halls of Valhalla, a far better future than they had here. Their honorable death in battle was a study in triumph, not a study in failure.

So it was in the philosophies of ancient India. Samsara marked the transmigration of souls in accordance with deeds of merit.

So it is today. Retreat is not an option. We can only go forward but we can go forward with an inner sense of confidence and hope.
