I spend a lot of time away from
people – so that I can better understand people. But today I needed to surround myself with real people. A week of intense research on where Humanity
is being herded has profoundly shaken me.
I’m sitting in my favorite café here
in the Archipelago of Bliss, gazing out on the main street, which should be
called Avenida Anomaly, since it is so detached from the modern world. It is delightfully out of synch because for
every passing car there are 10 bicycles and 20 pedestrians. Across the street in the park, Moms entrust
their children in the playground to their older brothers and sisters who
welcome this responsibility. On the
sidewalk an old man with a wheelbarrow full of coconuts slices them open with a
machete and sells them to his lifelong friends.
The entire scene is a testament to the philosophy of “live and let
live.”
This
is in stark contrast to those in the bejeweled dungeons of power who are
colluding to hypnotize and enslave the common man. The term that best describes their hidden
campaign of conquest is Social
Engineering. In my two previous
essays on this topic, I tried to distill down to one sentence the goal of those
who are masterminding this cultural takeover.
They seek greater and greater control by fewer and fewer people.
*******
In the early decades of the 20th Century,
those who seek authoritarian power, switched to a more subtle method of
controlling society. Largely using
techniques pioneered by Edward Bernays, they found ways to manipulate people
without them being aware of it. Their
methods involved secrecy and deceit.
They also realized the value of “separation.” They recognized that people could be
influenced much more efficiently when they were isolated from each other. Two of the dominant changes of the late 20th
Century were extremely helpful in allowing the controllers, who I like to refer
to as The Malignant Overlords, to
further divide and dominate us. These
supposed improvements were television and suburban living.
Families, sitting alone with the Blue Light telling
them what to do, buy and believe, were a business, political or religious
tyrant’s dream. Just look at how swiftly
advertisers, politicians and televangelists took to the airwaves. It was also a perfect control mechanism - since
only the rich could afford broadcast licenses.
And it was doubly valuable to the State because they dictated who got those
licenses. Anyone wanting to broadcast an
alternative worldview was locked out.
Meanwhile, as the social engineers were separating
people from each other through television and suburban sprawl, they furthered
their crusade of human debasement by converting us into consumers. Since a person’s worth was now measured by
their “stuff,” this encouraged competition instead of co-operation. And the toxic fog of societal alienation
spread further and further.
The Internet Revolution brought a burst of optimism
for the possibility of a more emancipated planet, where the best ideas and
tools could be shared by everyone. It
looked like we might be on the brink of a new Golden Age of justice and harmony
and enlightenment. But that gold has
been transformed back into copper by some sort of reverse alchemy. The World Wide Web has degraded into a
surveillance tool for our masters, a directory of phony Facebook friends and a
platform for eBread and eCircuses, which relentlessly distract us from our evaporating
sovereignty.
*******
But now the Malignant Overlords are poised to pound
two more nails into the coffin of Humanity’s independence. The first is their plan to impose a worldwide
cashless society. They are trying to
sell this policy by claiming that it will be a mighty weapon against money
laundering and drug trafficking. This would
be laughable - if it were not so hypocritical and perverse.
Some of the Too Big To Fail banks, which would benefit
from a cashless society, are the actual perpetrators when it comes to money
laundering. Google up HSBC, Wells Fargo
and Deutschbank, and you will see the enormous fines they have had to pay
because of their involvement with this clandestine trade.
The other great beneficiaries of the War on Cash are
governments. They justify this assault
on our liberty because it is a way to battle the drug lords. Again this would be comical - if it were not
so hypocritical and repellant. Although
you will never hear about it on the evening news, there is very convincing
evidence on the internet to show that governments and their “intelligence”
services are neck-deep in the narco-trade.
Spend a little time with James Corbett’s short film on
Gary Webb and marvel at his courageous reporting. You can find it here. Gary’s extraordinary investigation led to his
“suiciding” via the message-sending TWO bullets to the head method.
Aside from the hypocrisy of Big Banks and Big Gov
claiming noble motives for taking away your cash, it is also laughable because
it does not work. For years many
countries have been eliminating the larger denomination currencies, which are
supposedly so essential for drug lords and money launderers. Has this eliminated or even significantly
lessened these operations – of course not!
So why do our rulers really want a cashless society -
because it gives them god-like control over EVERYBODY. If your money is merely a digital entry on
the balance sheet of a faceless bank, that same bank can miscalculate or
eliminate your savings. Coming to your
home and stealing $1,000 in cash that you have stashed in your mattress,
requires a lot of effort and also law enforcement back-up. But just deleting it from your account with
the click of a computer mouse is a tyrant’s wet dream.
And here are some other ways that the War on Cash is a
victory for the M.O.s.
It eliminates bank runs. When people lose faith in a financial
institution they try to withdraw their savings as swiftly as possible. But since banks never have enough cash to
cover the accounts of their customers, the bank collapses. With no physical cash to run out of, bankers
will not have to fear bank runs.
It allows bankers to institute negative interest
rates. In the upside down world of
Big Finance, there has recently been a push towards people having to actually
pay banks for holding onto their money.
Eventually, depositors will realize that it makes more sense to stow it
in their mattress for free rather than pay interest on it. Plus, if there is a bank run, they will not
lose their lifetime savings. But digital
money allows bankers to impose negative interest rates, because you can’t
remove money that is just an entry on a bank’s computer.
Eliminating cash lessens the chance of tax evasion.
Big Brother is almost obscenely aroused
by the prospect of monitoring every transaction that you make. Of course, the big corporations, with their
squads of attack lawyers, will find every tax loophole. But if you try to trade a Mickey Mantle
baseball card for a Willie Mays, you might get busted by the IRS.
*******
The second nail in the coffin of freedom that I
alluded to earlier is the microchip.
The implanting of tiny RFID chips into our bodies would probably give
the Malignant Overlords ultimate domination.
They could then transform Earth from a magical, flowering garden into a plantation
planet with almost all of Humanity reduced to slavery.
In this Orwellian future with Darth Vader playing the
role of Big Brother, all of your vital activities would be dependent on your
chip. This electronic i.d. device would
be necessary to access your digital money, to buy food, to open a car door, to
enter a building, to retrieve your medical records, to travel to another
country. And it will allow Darth Brother
to record your every move through its imbedded GPS tracking capability.
Surely, such a dystopian scenario seems impossible. But it is already underway and advancing more
aggressively. First they chip your
pets. Then they hail it as a means of
tracking Alzheimer’s sufferers even though there are already excellent
non-invasive devices for doing this.
Then they make it trendy in the movies.
Then companies start requiring their employees to get chipped. And finally, after the population has been
acclimated to it, they make it mandatory
- for your own good.
I realize that this seems like the stuff of
nightmares. But instead of dismissing it
outright, just ratchet up your attention to this in both mainstream and
alternative media. You will probably realize
that there is indeed a steady slide down this horrific slope.

The first essay in this trilogy began with a vignette
about my gift of a solar-powered light to an Indio family here in the
Archipelago of Bliss. Last week, an ex-pat
friend who lives here part time, treated me to dinner at a superb local
restaurant.
During the meal he mentioned that he had been so
touched by my light-bringing gesture, that he had purchased several of them. He then followed my lead and gave them to
some of his Indio friends out in the islands.
But whereas I had shared my gift during the daylight, he had presented
his at night. His method was far more
dramatic than mine, and I loved hearing him describe the way the kids would go
“Ahh” when he switched on the lamps.
It reminded me of the worthiness of my efforts to
bring some illumination to you, my unknown reader, even as I explore the Dark
Territories.
