A friend of mine in Seattle recently wrote me to say that people out that way were literally dancing in the streets until 3:00am on the night of the election. To illustrate the difference between the East and West coasts of America, here in my hometown such revelries met a decidedly different fate. Not longer after I left the bar I frequent near Johns Hopkins University, a crowd of Hopkins and Goucher students spontaneously gathered on that same street corner to celebrate the victory, only to meet with what’s being described as excessive police force and 16 arrests, much of which was caught on tape by a local news station. Video here.
One final word before we go. This comes from Frank Herbert, author of the Dune sci-fi series:
I think that John Kennedy was one of the most dangerous presidents this country ever had. People didn’t question him. And whenever citizens are willing to give unreined power to a charismatic leader, such as Kennedy, they tend to end up creating a kind of demigod . . . or a leader who covers up mistakes—instead of admitting them—and makes matters worse instead of better. Now Richard Nixon, on the other hand, did us all a favor. [...]
Yes, Nixon taught us one hell of a lesson, and I thank him for it. He made us distrust government leaders. We didn’t mistrust Kennedy the way we did Nixon, although we probably had just as good reason to do so. But Nixon’s downfall was due to the fact that he wasn’t charismatic. He had to be sold just like Wheaties, and people were disappointed when they opened the box.
I think it’s vital that men and women learn to mistrust all forms of powerful, centralized authority.

Heres a good one, that looks dated to me, becauase at the time they thought a brutal police state in the US was shocking:
But anyway its here. Its been a long time in coming and I have to assume that Obama is part of it.
One thing I wonder though, you looked into all this stuff what really sticks? Do you accept it? Reject parts of it?
To me its clear as day that the US government is controlled by a Satanic cult. They use mind control, occult powers, advanced weapons technology.
Thats clearer to me than any bullshit I see on CNNMSNBCFOX.

Here is a normal sounding woman, speaking anonymously, that has escaped from the illuminati.
She was speaking last year about the planned financial collapse that will start in New York and spread to the rest of the World. From Chaos;order.
Well anyway Tim this woman is speaking the Truth. The illuminati are real. Its a powerful Satanic cult that rules the World. What would it take to convince you?

OK I just read this:
http://www.timboucher.com/journal/2007/11/01/how-to-join-the-illuminati/
Has your view changed at all since that article?
I thought you said in a comment the other day that you have an ancestral affinity with the Illuminati or something?
Anyway, I’m not using the term in the article you linked to in the way I think you may be using it above. I’m using it in the classical sense of one who has been Illuminated through gnosis, through direct personal knowledge of God, through inner peace, clarity, harmony, etc and whose actions reflect a certain mastery of self and attitude of service towards others. I believe that’s the true philosophical foundation this country stands upon and that through discipline and vigilance, it may be guided back towards such a path.
Yeah. I do have ancestral affinity with it. That is not to say I think it is good. Its how I am able to know what they are up to. Its a frequency I can tune into. Like for example the way in which C.S. Lewis wrote “The Screwtape letters.”
Also I think in terms of “Illumination” there is an initiation and a counter initiation. A lot of this knowledge in the ancient mystery schools was kept secret in order to keep it out of the wrong hands. Now its gotten into the wrong hands, monopolized by said hands and kept secret to keep it out of the right hands.
But anyway, we aren’t talking about one group that is misunderstood by people like Alex Jones.
The illuminati he refers to is indeed Luciferian. They call themselves the illuminati. It isn’t a misunderstanding. The makesrs of the Georgia guidestones are illuminati. They do have self control and wisdom, but they are evil. High level people have self control, self mastery. But they can still be evil.
Anyway the best thing I can think to say is that the “God” on the dollar bill is Lucifer. The eye atop the pyramid is Lucifer. There is no misunderstanding about that. Its not something that can be taken more than one way.
God, the real God, doesn’t need to build a pyramid in order to see.
The need for a pyramid is control. If you are a tiny point in space and you want to control a massive area, you build a pyramid of control.
If you are ominpresent, obviously you don’t need to build a structure in order to control everything.
This is why the illuminati comes down to a handful of powerful people, like Henry Kissinger and David Rockefeller and a few others with resumes so massive that its beyond belief. They literally control a mind boggling number of organizations.
Why?
They hate life. They are posessed by Lucifer. Lucifer wants to control creation. They aren’t trying to get rich, they are already rich. They seek more and more control.
The opposite sentiment is “live and let live” Love, diversity, trust.
If you trust and you love, you don’t need massive control structures. Being led by the heart brings harmony.
The control mindset is mental only, devoid of love. This kind of control kills.
If you want to understand the pyramid read this:
The people with endless bios
Obama fits into one of the upper rungs, through the Chicago CFR.
And basically Jeremiah Wright is correct about AIDS and the depopulation of Africa.
Whatever anyone’s feelings on Obama, now’s the time to do start guiding .
It’s a great article. Reminds me of “hegelian” dialectic (not actually Hegelian, apparently) or the Axiom of Maria.
Ted, your statements seem to be running counter to themselves. The other day you said you take these sorts of things literally and now you’re saying that the *ONLY* authoritative interpretation of a set of symbols is essentially the opposite of their literal meaning. As a result, I’m having a difficult time following your argument.
I don’t take things literally that a person means symbolically. That would be called “being a dumb ass”
I was talking about this kind of hip literary genre that has developed that is still based on material naturalism but instead of being totally dismissive of metaphysical truth it takes them artistically.
Maybe its a waste of time talking to you. You seem to be a disinformation agent. Witting or unwitting, I guess it doesn’t matter.
You seem to examine all these strange cultural things and then basically just reassure everyone tht its nothing to get excited about.
Its like you say “Don’t get all alarmed about THIS particular thing. THIS is just THAT (refering back to some item of a common frame of reference to your audience)
Some things ARE alarming. Like depopulation. You see all these conspiracy people a few years back reporting that the powers that be have planned an economic collapse in 2008. The same people also report plans about depopulation being next.
So the economic collapse is here. All these huge banks and corporations are being nationalized. Thats Fascism.
So if that was correct why isn’t it logical to think depopulation is next?
But no. Lets get all Jungian and artistic about it, meanwhile put in a plug for the draft. .
Well, if that’s how you feel… But I have a hard time taking you seriously in this area because you’re saying all this stuff about the “Illuminati” and these secret evil elites and their practices and your only backing for it seems to be an intuitive hunch or what you’re describing as some kind of ancestral resonance. Yes, I have read all the same conspiracy articles and websites you’ve read which contain information about these subjects, but I’m over it. I’m choosing to leave it behind and re-focus my efforts in another direction instead of just clinging onto reactionism and alarmist thinking. If that’s what disinformation is, then fine; that’s what I am.
What serves the elite better? A bunch of people panicking, or a bunch of people calm people? Panicked people will automatically look to authority figures for answers, calm people will begin to question and find solutions once things start going badly. And calm people are infinitely better equipped to make good lasting changes.
The idea that spreading knowledge about how the system is “truly” run will somehow stop things from going that way is a logical fallacy. Shouting “stop” at a car won’t make the breaks work.
Until people are offered a viable working alternative that is clearly better than the current system, the current system will remain in power. This is the secret of the eye in the triangle. It’s not lucifer, it’s the result of all the people who put their faith in the system. To see the truth of how things will turn out is to look out from the high point of the bell curve. It’s a purely objective, scientific, non-moralistic reason for compassion (if anyone needs such a reason, which they shouldn’t).
What people need to believe is that the system WILL work for them; if enough people believe it, then the system has no choice but to do so, since it is built upon their very agreement to support it. The only reason the elites are controlling things is because people are letting themselves be defined by things that the elites already have power over.
But until the system stops working for people in their everyday lives, they won’t really care. Don’t tell people everything is bad; they already know. They’ve got their own problems to worry about. They can’t be bothered, no matter how many people shout that the house in on fire.
If there really are ruling elites trying to run humanity into the ground and somehow profit from it, the only way to stop them is to show people how to be happy. Psychopaths will always run pyramid-type organizations, Ted, you’ve said that yourself. We need to find some other, better paths to happiness, besides those that lead up the steps of a pyramid.
Of a similar note is this interview with Grant Morrison (9 and 10 are the best sections, the rest only apply to the comic book):
“In a world, I’m reliably told, that’s going to the dogs, the real mischief, the real punk rock rebellion, is a snarling, ‘fuck you’ positivity and optimism. Violent optimism in the face of all evidence to the contrary is the Alpha form of outrage these days. It really freaks people out. I have a desire not to see my culture and my fellow human beings fall helplessly into step with a middle class media narrative that promises only planetary catastrophe, as engineered by an intrinsically evil and corrupt species which, in fact, deserves everything it gets.”
Everybody is. It just depends on the subject being discussed. I don’t think there is one illuminati. I think there are multiple factions/cells and if anybody really controls it he/she does so through the spirit world wouldn’t have the ability to communicate the mechanism of control to us.
You should be paranoid because it seems to be your path to fulfillment. It’s mine too so I know that’s just a way some people are built. My Spartan father or my mother’s Merovingian ancestors from 1000 years ago might have something to do with it or it could be my Mars in Aries or it could be having been raised in an urban semi-war zone. Tim just has a different path in life and a different temperament.
My take is that the illuminati is like a pre-computer internet. The internet was designed to keep things running after the apocalypse. Basically identical symbolic languages running independently across the planet. They link up and help each other because they don’t know any better. My computer talks to other computers because it doesn’t know any better either. Am I making any sense?
Yes, it’s necessary that we have many overlapping redundant symbol sets and languages of liberation. We should not all be in agreement, less we all be destroyed by the same flaw. Monoculture versus genetic diversity.
