"Aye, the king hath set us a grim table!
Tis a bitter draught, I tell ye!
A scabaceous broth and a turdsome loaf
which hath been served up to us.
And worse yet, the people still have no idea
of what finer thing liberty can make in it's place."
- Elof II
What Went Wrong with Western Civilization
Spiritual monism is the popular belief that either good, or evil, is the
predominant moral force on Earth. This involves imaginative wishfullness about the supposed destiny of one to eventually triumph
over the other. In this mode of error, evil is thought of as being a mere pathological deviation which can somehow be "cured."
Ironically, the ongoing "cures" institutionalized by collective human action have been responsible for most of the real evil
faced by human societies throughout the ages.
The majority of exploiting masters in history have made use of monistic
spirituality to misdirect populations into serving their purposes. To what extent this has been done with contrived awareness
is of no real importance. It is actions which effect other people, not intentions. Usually such leaders have accomplished
their goals by identifying one group in society as being somehow responsible for the plight of another group, and then exploiting
both the feelings of guilt on one side, and a desire for "justice" on the other. The leaders explain that when the "evil"
individuals are finally defeated, that "good" will prevail.
Out of the rise of monistic Judaism came Christianity
and it's popularization in the third century AD. The most sophisticated exploiters of monistic Christianity were the clergy,
and in their desire for worldly power, they succeeded in throwing away most of the vast accumulated knowledge of ancient civilization
through the destruction of many of the great libraries(1). At the same time, they renamed, reapplied, or revised whatever
Pagan wisdom they deemed useful to the achievement of their own objectives.
The following centuries saw a continuation
of all the usual war, plunder, rape, and torture but also a tremendous decline in the arts and sciences accompanied by a tremendous
rise in the kind of murderous bigotry which always accompanies insane religiosity. This became institutionalized and provided
the rationale for the murder of over nine million "heretics," often people of dualist spirituality: Zoroastrians, Manichaens,
Albigensians, Cathars, Templars, and "Witches."(2)
Christianity further consolidated it's power by teaching the flocks
that man, through his natural desires had fallen from grace, and that since God had sacrificed for him, that he had incurred
a debt thereby. The way that all these "sinners" could absolve their guilt, avoid eternal damnation, and pay their debt
to God was through God's emissaries, the clergy. The believers were very conscientious in this, dressing their holy men in
silk, adorning them with jewels, and ensconcing them in vaulted marble palaces, surrounded by priceless treasure, great libraries,
and works of art.
Accompanying the stubborn rise of an entrepreneurial middle class came the Age of Enlightenment
with a tremendous decline in the worldly power of Christianity. Interestingly today, even most Christians refer to the period
of their own domination on Earth as "The Dark Ages." The modern Christian is however, usually very different from those of
the Medieval Period(3).
With the rise of the international banking families came a new specter to haunt mankind(4).
These families who live in great luxury at the expense of brainwashed populations continued the use of monistic
ideologies appealing to apathetic masses. Exploitation of the dishonest idea that wealth earned honorably can somehow be "excess"
and that not sharing is first under Judeo-Christianity, sinful, and later under collectivist government, criminal, has been increasingly
used to rationalize escalating government theft. The effect has been to negate a great deal of what humanity might have
otherwise accomplished, because of constant interference with the natural progress of the producing elements in society(5).
The insidious behind-the-scenes manipulation of virtually all western nations by international finance, and the establishment
of institutionalized wealth redistribution began the process of what is now rapidly accelerating into the destruction in humanity
of everything that is strong, solid, and viable, while at the same time giving temporary artificial nurture to, and thereby
increasing, everything that is weak, rotten, and non viable. Non producing elements can only be relieved of the consequences
of their unworkable life strategies for so long.
The deliberate creation by international bankers, through the Treaty
of Versailles, of conditions which would inevitably lead to a Second World War and their subsequent financing of both sides
in that conflict, has understandably lead to the massive falsification of history since that time. For those who seek the
truth however, there is a considerable body of highly specific, factual, and well documented literature dealing with this
period. The truth has not been lost, it has simply been propagandized into obscurity by those very powerful people who gain
immensely from doing so(6).
One may well reach the point of feeling that there is no real way to know what is true
and what is not. What it finally comes to, is simply who one prefers to believe. Is it those, who by war and economic upheaval,
profit through manipulative and coercive power over others? Or is it those who would profit only by being allowed to justly
keep what they earn, honorably and peacefully, in a free society? Choose right now!
The student is sternly advised to pursue unflinchingly a specific knowledge
of these matters. Those who will not seek further in this are mere apathetic boot-lickers with no effective patriotism, moral
courage, or genuine love of Liberty.
