Revision = level:=20 1.0

4. Secret societies in government, business = and=20 religion: From the earliest times = of=20 recorded history, we find that secret societies are a natural and = integral=20 part of human civilization. What we mean by a "secret = society" is=20 one whose meetings are not open to the general public, and whose = written=20 documents are kept confidential to some extent. Secret = societies are=20 often organized hierarchically, with ultimate decision-making = power vested=20 in a single individual. Outside of a secretive core group, a = secret=20 society may have a much larger hierarchical structure which = operates very=20 openly and which produces abundant documentation of its broader=20 operations. Our hypothesis is that these secret societies = can=20 operate as a mechanism for filtering and selecting psychopathic=20 individuals to carry out the conspiratorial goals of a society and = its=20 leadership.

Many modern governments have an intelligence = service which=20 operates as a "secret society" whose covert operations are = hidden=20 from the public, and which produces a great torrent of highly = classified=20 (and unclassified) documentation. Examples would = include the=20 American CI= A,=20 the Israeli Mossad, the = KGB=20 of the former Soviet Union, the British MI-6, and so=20 forth.

Similarly, nearly all corporations are = organized as=20 secret societies, with operative decision-making vested in a = hierarchical=20 management group (CEO, vice-presidents, corporate secretaries = etc.) and=20 boards of directors, who design business strategies in = confidential=20 meetings whose results are zealously guarded as trade = secrets. =20 (However, since the 1929 fiasco the SEC and public investors have = required=20 some disclosure of financial results. These disclosure = requirements=20 have now been effectively voided for the most part, as shown by = the Enron=20 affair.)

Possibly the most prototypical examples of = secret=20 societies are known as the "mystery religions" or "occult=20 societies". These are religions which attempt (with varying = degrees=20 of success) to make secrets out of their central doctrines = as well=20 as their procedures and meetings. Examples include the Freemaso= ns=20 (and derivative organizations such as the Illuminati, Skull and Bones, = Thule=20 Society, Rosicrucians and so forth), the medieval Knights=20 Templar, the Roman Catholic Jesuits and Opus Dei, the Assassins and = some=20 other sects of Ismaili = (Aga Khan)=20 Muslims, the Essenes=20 and other Hebrew mystery cults, and ancient Roman Mithraism. = ;=20 The names of the deities of any particular occult society may vary = from=20 time to time and place to place, the underlying motifs and = archetypes are=20 generally similar, and closely related to the pantheistic astral = and=20 tribal paganism of ancient Mesopotamia. This is the worship = of Mithra=20 (the Sun), Sin (the = Moon) and=20 Luc= ifer =20 (Venus),=20 along with Ahura Mazda or Yahweh (the Great Architect of the = Universe?)=20 and Moloch and=20 Baal, the tribal consorts of the astral gods. Modern = apologists=20 for Freemasons and other occult secret societies argue that these = ancient=20 pagan gods are correctly interpreted today as benevolent and = altruistic symbols. However, in ancient history these same = gods were=20 portrayed as jealous and angry gods, actually psychopathic = gods,=20 who would lie and kill without remorse in the pursuit of ultimate = and=20 eternal power, and who demanded the aroma of human=20 sacrifice. In their choice to preserve and venerate the = memory=20 of the psychopathic gods of ancient Mesopotamia, are modern = psychopathic=20 elites also revealing something about themselves?

Most modern human beings are convinced that = these pagan=20 gods passed into the dustbin of history two millenia ago, = but we=20 suspect that this may not be the case. Repeatedly throughout = history, the elites of the Great World Empire have been attracted = to=20 religious secret societies such as these, which maintain a high = regard for=20 the ancient pagans. We submit that this is no=20 coincidence.

In modern times we are also seeing a = proliferation of=20 elite secret societies which operate at an international level, = such as=20 the World Bank=20 and IMF and associated world economic meetings, and the Bilderberg= =20 society. Similar organizations such as the Council on = Foreign=20 Relations (CFR) and Trilateral Commission seem = to=20 operate on an open level, although it is difficult to know whether = they=20 might have a secretive core level. These=20 international (globalist) secret societies have an extraordinary = and quite=20 well-documented ability to attract wealthy and powerful = individuals to=20 form their core membership, just as the religious secret societies = also=20 attract these same individuals. Furthermore, their = memberships are=20 often interlocking, such as in corporate boards. As noted in = Janis=20 Irving's 1972 book "Victims of Groupth= ink",=20 any committee or group (even one composed entirely of=20 non-psychopathic individuals) can fall prey to various faulty = decision=20 making processes. However, it should be clear that if = a=20 substantial portion of any secret society is made up of = psychopathic=20 individuals, the decision-making processes will be further = compromised to=20 say the least. Also just as clearly, such an organization is = a good=20 place to organize a conspiracy -- that is, an illegal or wrongful = scheme=20 perpetrated by two or more persons acting in concert.

Any assessment of the power of the psychopathic = tendency,=20 in powerful individuals, dynasties, and secret societies, is = basically a=20 matter of historical judgment over a broad sweep of time and = across many=20 events. Conspiracists have often been accused of = "mining" the=20 historical record for odd factoids and tidbits that support some = skewed=20 and paranoid interpretation, and we do not wish to contribute to = that=20 syndrome. Our goal is to take a patient and systematic = overview=20 of the broad sweep of history, and show that it is overwhelmingly=20 consistent with our view.

While we note that many mainstream=20 observers are skeptical, we also observe that many who = actually take=20 the time and effort to evaluate the literature on secret societies = tend to=20 eventually fall overboard into the opposite conclusion. Time = and=20 time again we see concerns that one or another of the secret = societies is=20 becoming so powerful that it is nearly omnipotent and eminently = capable of=20 conquering the world. The John Birch Society fears a = Communist=20 conspiracy, Hitler's Germans feared a secret conspiracy of = Jewish=20 bankers, and so forth. For the most part, advocates of these = theories are rightly seen as crack-pots. Most anyone can see = that=20 the Socialists are opposed by the Capitalists, the Jews are = opposed by the=20 Moslems, and nobody seems to have any imminent potential of = winning the=20 whole ball of wax. However, with the understanding = that all of=20 these facets are inter-related at some point by their relationship = to the=20 New World Order, we realize that we simply do not have the data to = resolve=20 the questions about exactly what power is held by each of the = secret=20 societies. In fact, the proliferation of secret societies is = probably largely innocent, and has the effect of creating a sort = of "shell=20 game" as conspiracy theorists try to guess and argue over which of = the=20 secret societies is most important and responsible for the world's = problems.

Factors preventing the psychopathic conquest = of the=20 world. We = presume=20 that total world domination is the long-term goal of the = Great World=20 Empire, whether or not they have mapped out and designed their = means to=20 achieve such a goal. To understand this, consider the = problems it=20 would solve for them. All the taxes (tribute) from all over = the=20 world would go to a single center. A single world army would only = need to=20 be big enough to put down any challenges that somehow arose from = below,=20 and escaped the attentions of worldwide surveillance. A = plutocratic class=20 (and who knows how big or small it might be) could have as many = slaves and=20 servants as they needed, and any surplus population could simply = be=20 killed, leaving vast, beautiful, empty estates for the chosen=20 few. Assuming the worst possible = scenario --=20 that this is actually the articulated and self-comprehended plan = of the=20 elite classes within their secret societies -- we must consider = all the=20 problems they face in their attempts to reach this goal.

One class of problems is structural within the elite = psychopathic=20 class. At every new generation, some of the children=20 of any wealthy family will grow up without any psychopathic = tendencies,=20 yet they inherit great wealth anyhow. Sometimes the scions of the = wealthy=20 might merely pretend to=20 be psychopaths in order to rise to a high station, then hope = to use=20 their power to good ends later in life. Also, it=20 must occur from time to time that a ruler of a nation (being = truly=20 psychopathic) might rebel against the Secret Order and seek to = aggrandize=20 themselves at other society members' expense. Remember, they're=20 psychopaths, which means they only work together to the extent = that it=20 benefits themselves. The elites exist = within a=20 world that has always been fragmented into various races, = and=20 divided by languages and cultures. These divisions naturally = induce=20 suspicion, and can be exploited by rebellious psychopathic members = of the=20 secret societies -- in order to create an independent power base, = and then=20 extend their direct share of power. Meanwhile, all other=20 psychopathic rulers (as well as uncorrupted ones, if they exist) = must=20 prepare to defend against incursions.

The elite also faces continual challenges from the people they = rule=20 over. It's impossible for the elite to monopolize all = the=20 wealth in a society. The first problem is that = destitute=20 slaves do not make effective or enthusiastic warriors -- a nation = of angry=20 or hopeless paupers is easily conquered. Also, in order to promote = a work=20 ethic, there need to be some rewards for effort -- otherwise all = the=20 subjects will do the minimum necessary to avoid being=20 whipped. The Laffer=20 curve illustrates that there is some optimum level of = taxation=20 which maximizes government revenue, while still leaving = significant wealth=20 for individuals. Furthermore -- any = society=20 requires a class of managers, supervisors and bureaucrats who have = some=20 training and resources. Those classes represent a constant source = of=20 challenges to the elite rulers -- and they may take nearly = complete=20 control of a society, especially if they are also landowners and = are able=20 to force a Republican or plutocratic governmental structure.

Rule by "quislings" is especially ineffective, because the = subjects=20 want to overthrow the ruler as soon as the traitorous relationship = is=20 exposed. There is a limit to the amount of tribute (taxation or = war=20 reparations) that can be extracted by this means. = Also, from time to time, the machinations of the secret society = are=20 exposed and become generally known. Then the society must submerge = politically, and may suffer significant losses of assets. If a = society=20 preserves Republican or Democratic formalisms, then there is a = limit to=20 the amount of lies that can be fed to the people -- eventually the = formalisms break down and are replaced by overt dictatorship.

History has seen many attempts by the New World Order to = consolidate=20 its rule over the whole globe. Time and time again, these = attempts=20 have failed, for the structural reasons I've just listed -- and = also=20 because any such empire inspires resistance in the entire world = outside=20 itself. If the Bush war campaign, now gathering force around = Iraq, represents an attempt to create such a world empire -- = it=20 seems quite certain that the attempt will fail yet again. = The only=20 question is how much chaos will be created in its=20 failure.
