And as ‘The Project’ collapses into
increasingly toxic clusters of orcs, it occurs to me it is worth, in Gandalf’s words, risking a little more light. The ‘official’ narrative of what’s going on in the world is now so utterly preposterous, so top-heavy with barely concealed bullshit, that I find it truly,
truly astounding that anyone can sit in front of a cable news programme with a straight face or a bullethole-free TV screen.
Secret societies, for instance, emerged a few centuries ago in central Europe as a means of enabling the powerful to operate under the radar of the church and the crown. The mystical crap is largely a cover… Where else could the scions of the ruling families speak privately but behind oaths that, if broken, would lead either to the stake or the guillotine? As a social technology for communication and concealment, they remained highly useful
right up to… and possibly beyond… the rise of Nazi Germany.
You see, It’s the
tech that continues, rather than the connections.
There is no ancient order playing a centuries-spanning game with the ultimate goal of world domination. There is, however a persistent need for the great and the good to conceal their ever-shifting alliances. Just as the continued use of the horse as a system of transport for thousands of years is not a ‘conspiracy theory’, the accumulation of more wealth and power among fewer and fewer people is also not a ‘conspiracy theory’… it is an unfortunate result of the gravity inherent in western capitalism.
The tech tumbles down, the adherence to a convenient worldview tumbles down, ‘the grand plan’ does not tumble down. This is a fundamental point and misunderstanding it can send you quite insane.
