Dacia Iluministă

1) Departure

All human beings are confronted with problems. These come in two types: inner and outer. The outer are the external obstacles, laid by other people, which block our path. The inner are the internal obstacles that we have raised ourselves.

In the hero monomyth, the hero uses the crisis provoked by an outer problem to resolve his profoundest inner problems. The outer and inner problems are inextricably linked: the hero will not succeed with the outer problem if he fails with the inner. The harder the outer problem, the deeper inside himself the hero must go. The greatest acts of heroism demand the greatest self transformation. The supreme external challenges require heroes capable of being gods: those who can transform the whole world by transforming themselves.

The vast majority of people inhabit a comfort zone where they seek easy pleasures to make life pass “pleasantly”. They don’t confront any external problems in any meaningful way. They engage ego-defence mechanisms such as denial, displacement and projection to avoid facing up to their problems. They are scared of challenging authority, breaking free of social customs, separating themselves from the herd, departing for daunting destinations.

Ordinary people are afraid of hard work, of taking risks, of being unusual and setting themselves “unrealistic” goals. They are afraid of their own inner demons and refuse to look at them. Above all, they are afraid of attaining their Higher Self because that will change their life forever in the most radical way, and may result in the complete severance with their old, comfortable way of life.

All of us are called by our Higher Self, but most of us resist the summons. If we want to be extraordinary, we have to cut the umbilical cord that links us to everything trivial and ordinary, but most of us never raise the knife that will free us. We are refuseniks and cowards, the legions of the bland and banal. We are “last men” devoted to petty self-interest and trivial comforts.

Those who pursue the easy life will never achieve anything great. They will never be heroes. Our whole culture is geared towards taking the soft option, of gratifying ourselves as swiftly as possible, hence this is the ultimate anti-hero society. It distrusts and fears true heroes. It likes only comic-book heroes or those who do exactly what society regards as “good” (i.e. as defined by the ruling establishment).

But the hero never allows himself to be defined by others. He defines himself; he creates himself. Only those with the courage to find their authentic self will ever be genuinely authentic. We live in a fake and phoney world. We live in bad faith. We have a false consciousness. We are inauthentic. We desperately need to build a hero culture, a society of heroes.

It’s time to depart on the long, hard road to find our Higher Selves. It’s time to separate ourselves from the ordinary world that has ensnared us with its trivial concerns and easy, disposable pleasures that reach their sell-by date almost as soon as they are touched. It’s time to cross the threshold that separates the world of Common Day from the extraordinary world.

The hero’s path is right there in front of us, all marked out for us, yet it’s a path that few will be taking. You want an extraordinary life? Then what are you going to do that is extraordinary? You want to be a hero? Then do something heroic. Take that first step into the Unknown Country and begin the process of transforming yourself from base metal into gold.

The hero monomyth is the supreme act of alchemy that takes the prima materia (the primary material) – ourselves – and purifies and perfects it until it shines, glints and gleams like the gold of God.

2) Initiation

The hero’s true journey begins at the point at which he crosses the threshold separating the ordinary from the extraordinary world. Jim Morrison said, “There are things known and things unknown and in between are The Doors.” When the hero opens the door that takes him from the world of common day to the uncommon world, his life changes forever. One way or another, he will never be the same again. He is leaving behind the familiar to venture into the Great Unknown where there is no comfort zone, no safety net.

The sheeple stare curiously at the strange door that leads to the new world. For a while, it seems enticing but as they shuffle closer, saying “baa” all the while, the door exudes a terrible power. It creates an invisible force field that keeps away all but the finest members of the human race. Even to reach the door is an impressive feat. To actually go through it means you are capable of becoming God. You are ready to be initiated into the highest mysteries.

The sheeple watch in awe as the door swings open and the hero steps through. Instantly, he vanishes from sight, and the door swings shut once more. The sheeple turn away and go back to grazing. “Oh, we’ll be heroes in our video games,” they say. “Doing it for real is so much hassle. A virtual hero’s as good as a real one.”

The hero – on the other side of the door, the side that only higher humanity ever experiences – has nothing but his inner divinity to sustain and guide him. There are no sheeple here. There are no easy paths, soft options or lazy dreams.

You did not come here for instant gratification. You came to transform yourself from clay into alchemical gold. You have chosen the hardest path, the path that mercilessly punishes all weakness. The bones of failed heroes lie strewn everywhere. Almost all of the Grail Knights – mightiest and most magnificent of men though they were – perished here. If they couldn’t make it then who can? You seriously think you can accomplish the impossible?

The hero immediately finds himself travelling downwards, into ever deepening darkness. The blackest and most forbidding mountains arise around him. The path is stony and painfully hard. He reaches the darkest of forests and hears the most terrifying noises…human screams.

Just as Dante did, the hero will have to open the gate of hell and venture into the Inferno where all of his deepest fears reside. On the other side, Paradise awaits, but how many can ever get there when hell itself stands between them and their goal?

Hell is the ultimate road of trials. Here you are subjected to every torment, everything from which you have fled in your ordinary life. Here you must reconcile all of the things that have troubled and disturbed you. You must encounter your Father and Mother and come to terms with them, not as their child, but as an equal adult who has put childish things behind you. You must confront all of the bullies who did you down, everyone who harmed you, all those who screwed you over. You must relive all of the things you fucked up in your life and understand why. You must encounter your anima/animus and resolve all the issues you have with the opposite sex.

You will encounter every demon, temptress, conman and monster. You have to overcome them all, and that means reaching into your own soul and summoning forth your Higher Self, that part of you that already has one foot in the divine order.

Your task, you now realise, is to replace your lower self with your divine self. Your lower self does not have a prayer of surviving in hell. Your lower self is weak, trivial, stupid, cowardly and soft. It wants easy pleasures and to fit in with the flocks of sheeple. Your Higher Self, on the other hand, is immortal and, when fully conscious, indistinguishable from God.

The gap between you and God is both infinitely wide and trivially small. Gnosis allows you to bridge the unbridgeable. Gnosis is ultimate intuition. Gnosis is about listening to the pulse of the cosmos. Gnosis is about separating your mind from the mortal world of ordinary consciousness and linear thinking and embracing the immortal and infinite world where everything is interconnected.

You must transcend yourself. You must reach for a miraculous ladder that disintegrates rung by rung as you climb it. There’s no way back. At the top of the ladder is another door, the one that takes you out of the darkness and into the infinite and eternal light.

What is the hero’s task all about? It’s about descending into your deepest self with absolute honesty and conviction, about getting rid of all the bullshit and delusion, all of the expectations of others that are fundamentally about them and nothing to do with you. It’s about asking yourself – “Who am I? What do I want? What really makes me tick? Do I have the courage to pursue my highest ambitions even though there is no guarantee of success, even though I will have to make enormous sacrifices and will become estranged from the sheeple who were once my friends? My status in their eyes may drop to zero. My family may disown me. The world will think I am mad. Yet how can I ignore my inner voice, the voice that tells me who I really am and of what I’m really capable?”

The hero is fearless, dedicated, irrepressible. He is self-defining and self-creating. He will not stop. He will not give in. He will do whatever it takes. That’s what makes him different from everyone else. They are incapable of making sacrifices. The hero knows that nothing great can be achieved without sacrifice. The hero must endure pain to enjoy the highest heights of human greatness.

The hero’s journey is always the same. He descends into the underworld where he must endure a ghastly ordeal in which his lower self perishes. Only then can the hero taste an astonishing spiritual rebirth where he is initiated into the higher mysteries. He takes hold of the sword of knowledge and with it he cuts through all unknown things and reveals their secret contents. He has penetrated to the Source.

At last, he is able to get to the top of the sacred ladder and open the exit door. The first sight that greets him is the great boon he has been searching for all his life – the Holy Grail itself. Is that a sight you want to see too? Then what price will you pay?

3) The Return

The hero has ventured into hell itself to discover the miraculous elixir that validates his existence and justifies all the hard choices he has made in life. He has overcome the most terrible obstacles and endured the most daunting ordeals. He has defied incredible odds and triumphantly seized his prize. But now he is faced with a fateful choice. Will he choose to stay in the extraordinary world and push on to heaven itself, or will he return to the ordinary world as a higher being who can help others to raise themselves up? Does he feel he has unfurnished business in the ordinary world?

In Hollywood movies, the hero almost invariably returns home. Yet to go back to the world of common day is fraught with danger. The forces that have been defeated on the way have regrouped and now they are intent on blocking the road home. Perhaps they can recover the elixir from the hero and steal his victory from him. Defeat at this stage would be catastrophic, undoing all the good that has been achieved.

And yet if the world’s call is insistent enough, the hero has no choice but to battle his old foes once more, even though they may be worse than ever. He may have to defeat the leader of the enemy forces, the quintessence of the opposition to everything he stands for, before he can reach the exit that leads him back home.

The hero is plagued with doubt. Can he triumph all over again against even greater odds? He is reassured that he now has the elixir to help him achieve the impossible, but when he crosses back over the threshold separating the ordinary and extraordinary worlds, will the elixir lose its potency? Will it be of any use in the ordinary world? Will it fade away in the harsh light of ordinary day? Will the unheroic, ordinary people accept its value? Perhaps it will demand too much of them. Will they reject it, and him with it? He may find himself ostracised, banished to the ends of the earth.

Yes, the elixir may prove a curse rather than a blessing. It may rouse enmity in the ordinary world. And perhaps it may demand that his final task is none other than to sacrifice himself for others. For the land to be healed, it’s often the case that the sacred king must die. Nothing will grow again in the Waste Land until the hero has nourished the ground with his precious elixir – which may be his own blood.

Yet the hero has made his decision. He has resolved to change the world, and he will allow nothing to get in his way. He is a world-historic figure, a man of destiny, one of the handful of men and women capable of breathing the air of the gods. He knows what it means to be free, to be the master of two worlds. He has joined the deities at the summit of Mount Olympus. Ordinary mortals lie far below, like ants, yet he has given his solemn word to help them scale the heights too and join him in a new, higher world.

Your attention please.

This is not a rehearsal.
This is not a drill.
This is your life.
Make the most of it.
Become a hero.

Bring the ultimate cosmic journey – your journey – to its appointed end.

Become God.

The Secret Order of M-Omega:

Foreword by Magus.

MANY OF THE GREAT ENDEAVOURS – the undertakings that shape the destiny of humanity begin with a fanfare, with pomp and circumstance, with marching bands, cheering crowds and the official approval of the “great and good”. But others begin unheralded, unsung and uncelebrated in the invisible undergrowth of the world where the talents of those not born into privilege go unremarked, undeveloped, unsought and unrewarded. Yet silent whispers in the cold night can become resounding shouts in the midday sun, shouts that topple proud kings, mighty nations and all those who believe themselves invulnerable to the “ordinary” people so far below them on the ladder of “status”.

What is the best possible world? It is the one where humanity has maximized its potential through the maximization of the individual potential of each and every person on earth. No one can be neglected. Every contribution is precious and unique. The chain is only as strong as the weakest link, so that weakest link must be adamantine if the chain is to be unbreakable. Everyone needs to be raised up, not just those born into privilege.

Humanity as a whole must strive to reach its fullest potential, to express the divine destiny that awaits all those, no matter how humble, in whom the spirit of God resides. Yet humanity is mired in trivia, greed, selfishness, narcissism and violence. Most human beings are servants, slaves, worker drones and paper shufflers, leading lives of “quite desperation”. Their potential is left to rot because it does not serve the needs of the Elite, who are interested only in themselves and the acquisition of ever greater power and wealth, of ever greater separation between them and the “masses”.

The Movement, and its inner core – the Secret Order of M-Omega – is the whisper that will change the world, that will be heard in every cave and mountain top, every island and lake, every remote corner where only the wild winds go. The Movement owes no debt to the past. It’s not weighed down by traditions. It’s a new enterprise for a new age. It’s free to be what it wants, free to define itself, free to create itself. The Movement can shape the world anew. It can be the beacon that illuminates the darkness.

The Movement is a spiritual, philosophical, political, radical, artistic, scientific, mathematical, religious, technological, economic and creative undertaking. It embraces all of the ingredients required to transform humanity.

If the world is the mirror of God and humanity is God’s reflection then God will recognise himself only when humanity has attained its omega point of perfection. The Secret Order of M-Omega has begun the long journey to humanity’s final destination – divinity. To indivisible communion between God and the human race.

The ultimate quest requires the finest knights, those imbued with courage, determination and supreme merit, those in whom the divine glow is already visible. The Secret Order of M-Omega can be the vehicle for humanity to travel to the glittering celestial plane. Only the finest may join its ranks, and it is then their sacred task to elevate everyone else.

May Abraxas bless this new secret society. May he assist it to illuminate this benighted world. May he confer upon it the greatest of all destinies, that of finally liberating the human race from the long, unendurable darkness. So, are you ready to change the world? Are you ready to become God?

The Meritocracy Party:

“Today, Friday, 19 October, 2007, saw the birth of the Meritocracy Party. Daybreak has come and the light looks brighter.” –The official launch of the Meritocracy Party

The Meritocracy Party campaigns to replace democracy with meritocracy. Democracy has become the single biggest obstacle to the rise of the most meritorious. In the USA, no matter your talents, you cannot become President unless you have access to vast wealth to fund your campaign. In Great Britain, social mobility – the opportunity to improve your social standing – has gone into reverse. If you are born into a poor family you are statistically almost certain to remain poor, regardless of your merits. If your parents are rich, you can start looking forward to a prosperous future, again regardless of your merits.

The Meritocracy Party seeks to remove the link between parental wealth and children’s outcomes in life, and to eradicate nepotism and cronyism, the dual drivers of privilege. The Meritocracy Party is “viral”. You don’t need to join anything, seek anyone’s permission, go to any meetings or pay any money. If you’re broadly in tune with the meritocratic ethos, all you have to do is go out and spread the word.

The world can be changed: conversation by conversation amongst intelligent people.

******

The following material concentrates on the British political system, but the same arguments apply in every country. The idea is to have a Meritocracy Party in every country of the world, all of which are affiliated to create the first global political Party. With global capital relentlessly forcing down costs (people’s pay) while increasing their own profits, only a global political response will suffice. Whatever country you are in, start building the meritocratic future.

The Facts.

(Source: Superclass: The Global Power Elite and the World They Are Making by David Rothkopf.)

● The world is controlled by a global elite of approximately 6,000 people.

● 94% of them are men, and their average age is 60.

● 2% of the world’s population own 50% of the world’s wealth.

● 1,100 billionaires have double the assets of the world’s poorest 2.5 billion people.

● The world’s 50 largest financial institutions control a third of the world’s assets.

● The world’s 250 biggest companies generate sales of about a third of the world’s GDP.

Very few of this super-rich elite are elected. Many have attended privileged schools, colleges and universities. Many belong to exclusive clubs and societies. Many inherited great wealth and many just happened to be present when great assets became available (as in the case of the 36 Russian oligarchs). Many have strong family and religious links. Many are close friends. They control practically everything worth controlling. They don’t listen to us, and they don’t care about us. So, the choice is simple. Let’s do nothing and go through life like peasants bowing to feudal kings. Or let’s stand up to the elite and take what is ours. It’s time to replace the system that oppresses us. Democracy is the global elite’s main instrument of political control of the masses – their brilliant trick to make us think they are ruling on our behalf. Meritocracy, the antidote to corrupt democracy, will eliminate nepotism and cronyism. It’s time to change the world we live in. It’s time for meritocracy.

Are you leading the best life of which you are capable?

The Five Tests.

Are you about to take a big decision? How do you know it’s the right one? Here are the five tests:

● The Eternal Recurrence Test – this thing you are about to do: if you had to watch yourself performing this action an infinite number of times, would you still go ahead? If so, do it. If not, don’t.

● The Movie Of Your Life Test – this thing you are about to do: would you want it to be in the movie of your life, the scenes that show you at your very best? If so, do it. If not, don’t.

● The Gravestone Test – this thing you are about to do: would you want it recorded on your gravestone after your death? If so, do it. If not, don’t.

● The Mirror Test – this thing you are about to do: will you be able to look at yourself in the mirror afterwards and feel proud of what you have done? If so, do it. If not, don’t.

● The “Others” Test – this thing you are about to do: will you be happy for others to know all about it? If so, do it. If not, don’t.

If you obey these five tests, you will never perform any acts of which you are ashamed. You will never lie and cheat, you will never be a slave to others and you will never do pathetic, unworthy things. You will take pride in everything you do. You will be happy for others to know about your life. Your life will be the best it can be. Your life will be your personal masterpiece, sculpted by you to perfection.

In fact, there is really only one test: the first one, Eternal Recurrence. Are you proud enough of the thing you are about to do to wish it to be repeated endlessly? If so, you will be delighted for it to be in the movie of your life, you will be proud to have it recorded on your gravestone, you will be thrilled to look at yourself in the mirror afterwards, and you will be eager for the whole world to know what you have done. You will have complete self-respect and you will command the respect of everyone who knows you. You will be a person who has lived life absolutely on your own terms, and not slavishly and humiliatingly followed someone else’s path.

All other tests – such as those of religion (e.g. the Ten Commandments), the laws of your society, the expectations of family and friends – are one hundred percent irrelevant. If you obey the Law of Eternal Recurrence, you are a person of merit. Welcome to the Meritocracy Party. You have found your true home.

The Race you can never win (unless you’re one of “us”):

You’re the fastest runner in the world and you take your place at the starting line for the most important race of your life. You look up the track and see some obese guy in a suit standing five metres from the finishing tape. You complain to the race organiser but he tells you to mind your own business and concentrate on your own race. You think it must be some bizarre joke and it will all get sorted out later. The starting pistol sounds and you set off, running faster than you ever have in your life. But no matter how fast you run, no matter how good you are, you’ll never beat the fat man, puffing, panting and waddling his way to the finishing line.

Fattie wins the gold medal, and receives the adulation of the crowd. Two attractive blondes throw themselves at him. Everyone tells him how brilliant he is. He says he owes it all to God and his loving family who bought him a place at the best of schools and paid a million dollars to allow him to start five metres from the finishing line. The crowd cheers and demands that the winner’s parents be allowed to stand on the podium alongside their brilliant son. A reporter asks father, mother and son what they think of the second-placed athlete who broke the world record but still lost. They all shrug and say in unison, “Well, he’s not a member of our family, so who cares.” The crowd, full of like-minded families, rises to acclaim them. “If only we could all be like them,” they sigh. The world-record holder goes back to his housing project and dead end job. His colleagues tell him he’s a loser, and turn their backs on him.

Welcome to the anti-meritocratic world, this world. What are you going to do about it? Will you stand back and watch while cronyism, nepotism, the old school tie, the private club, the right university, the right accent, the right background, the right secret society, the right religion, the right family, destroy merit so that their chosen ones can prosper at your expense. It’s time to smash the conspiracy. Break up all the mechanisms that allow privileged groups within society to rig the system in their favour and penalise anyone who doesn’t belong to their insidious cliques.

The Meritocracy Party seeks to ensure that everyone, as far as possible, starts the race of life from the same starting line. Then we’ll see who the fastest runners really are; who deserves the medals, who should justly receive the acclaim and the rewards. At the moment, “who you know” (nepotism and cronyism) is vastly more important than “what you know” (merit). How often do we hear the mantra, “Networking is the fastest way up the ladder.” Meritocracy will push over this toxic ladder. From now on, demonstrable talent, not your social connections, will be the fastest way to make progress in life.

Is it possible for you to succeed in life?:

Do you think you have a fair chance in life? Do you think that any opportunity is open to you, and you simply need enough talent to seize it? Think again. Society is organised around the systematic denial of equal opportunities to the vast majority of citizens. People from working class backgrounds are relentlessly discriminated against in order to provide enough scope for middle and upper class individuals to permanently secure all of the best jobs. The inept child of wealthy parents has drastically better life chances than the most talented child from a housing project.

The irony is that most working class people are accomplices in their own subjugation. They buy into the ludicrous myth that the only thing holding them back is themselves. They are presented with a few examples of working class people making good and they conclude that all is well with the system. They have a National Lottery mentality. “It could be you,” runs the marketing slogan, and millions of working class people dutifully rush out to buy their tickets. It’s beyond their comprehension that although it could be you, it’s close to certain that it won’t be you. Every week, they fall for the same trick. They’re being taxed for their stupidity, for their escapist fantasies, for their inability to understand basic statistics. The powers-that-be don’t maintain their dominance by being foolish. They deploy sophisticated, and not so sophisticated, psychological weapons to deceive the masses. Allowing a lucky few of the working class to succeed is one of their main strategies. It could be you, they whisper like Sirens. But, as with the Lottery, it won’t be.

It’s time to wake up. See the game for what it is. Understand what’s really going on. The working class are like the helpless humans in The Matrix, imagining themselves free but in fact in the worst of prisons. The artificial intelligence that controlled The Matrix knew exactly what was required to delude its victims. For “controller” in our society, read middle and upper classes. They are the puppet-masters, the illusionists, the grand deceivers.

Since the dawn of time, there has been a global conspiracy, and its nature never changes. The conspirators are the rich and powerful and their aim, their only aim, is to maintain their wealth and power indefinitely. Only on the rarest occasions, when their hatred of the masses, their greed and contempt, have reached fantastic proportions (such as in France in 1789 and Russia in 1917), do they slip up. Are they on the cusp of slipping up again? The wealth of some individuals is obscene, and their conspicuous and arrogant spending a constant provocation that will in due course receive an appropriate response.

The Meritocracy Party promotes a single rule: that people should be judged entirely on their own merits and not those of their parents or any other individuals or groups with which they may be related or associated. The Family is the anti-meritocratic institution par excellence since it cares only about its own interests regardless of the objective merits of the family members. Parents of inept children will think they have done their job perfectly if they secure wonderful jobs and lifestyles for their unmeritorious offspring. Their “accomplishment” is that they have massively damaged the interests of the State, they have ensured that incompetence is ingrained in society, and they have guaranteed all of the ills from which our nation surely suffers.

Regression to the Mean: How the Super Rich Defy Nature:

Taller than average parents tend to have children shorter than they are. Shorter than average parents tend to have children taller than they are. Genius parents tend to have less intelligent offspring. Stupid parents tend to have children that are more intelligent. Gamblers enjoying fantastic winning streaks tend, in the long run, to lose their winnings. Gamblers, on terrible losing streaks, would, if they were able to continue playing, win back most of their losses. Welcome to the great stabilising force of nature: regression to the mean. Without it, we could breed freak populations of giants and dwarves, humans with the intelligence of gods and others with the intelligence of goldfish. “Lucky” gamblers might win the wealth of nations, and losers, if they could stay in the game, run up national debts. Without regression to the mean, stable society would disintegrate.

Wherever you see regression to the mean seemingly being subverted, you know trouble is near. There’s one element of our society in which regression to the mean is defied to a dizzying degree: wealth. The rich just keep getting richer, and nothing ever reins them back in. Equally, there are billions of poor people on earth who will never acquire any meaningful wealth. How can such an unfair distribution of wealth have come about? How can it be so ruthlessly sustained? It seems to defy all logic. Yet there’s nothing mysterious about it.

In any fair, unrigged system regression to the mean will occur. When regression to the mean is seen not to operate then you have certain proof that mechanisms have been put in place to prevent a fair outcome. Capitalist democracy, with the family at its core (for “family” read nepotism and cronyism), is the precise vehicle in the West used to perpetuate unfairness. Meritocracy is the antidote. In a meritocratic society, every family will enjoy its day in the sun.

Regression to the mean guarantees it. There will be no more great dynasties wielding their power, wealth and influence for centuries. Don’t you want to have your chance, based on your merit?

If wealth could be equated with height then most of us would be the size of ants, while the super rich would be as high as mountains. Do you think that’s healthy? As an ant, you wouldn’t even be able to contemplate the size of the super rich. And they wouldn’t notice if they stood on you and crushed you to death. And, in your heart, aren’t you already aware that you’re invisible to the super rich? They couldn’t care less about you. As far as they’re concerned, you don’t exist. Just as we only notice ants when they crawl over our hand on a hot day, so it is with the super rich and us.

Never forget that they didn’t get where they are by talent. They are the beneficiaries of a rigged system. You, by playing along with it, perpetuate it. A word to the wise – wise up, suckers!

Imagine a super-rich person going into a luxury restaurant. No one looks at him. No one acknowledges him. No one takes his jacket. No one shows him to his seat. No one offers him a drink. No one gives him a menu. No one serves him any food. If no one does anything for him, his wealth is meaningless. Wealth is an illusion that you choose to reify i.e. to make it solid, tangible. Wealth is nothing more than an arrangement between people. The essence of this arrangement is that poor people choose to accept that they are deficient in this imaginary substance (money). They acknowledge that the wealthy can supply it to them and they eagerly pursue it because then they will become less “deficient”. Yet the whole system is merely an elaborate set of transactions in a fantasy currency. The arrangement can be broken at any time if sufficient numbers choose to opt out. The ancient Greek philosopher Diogenes, the most famous of the Cynics, held wealth in contempt. In a world of Diogenes’s, the illusion of wealth would dissolve.

But the beneficiaries of the money arrangement – the wealthy – do everything in their power to maintain the illusion. They are the Wizards of Oz, and they aren’t going to let anyone see behind the curtain. If you rejected their arrangement, they would be no different from you. So, don’t blame anyone else for your poverty and their wealth. If you choose to sign up to an arrangement that guarantees you a subservient role, what right do you have to complain? The wealthy are right in concluding that you’re a loser and a failure because only an idiot signs up be a slave when, at any time, he can choose liberty instead.

You should accept the money arrangement only if you get a fair slice of the pie. It’s well known that the vast majority of assets in any country are controlled by a tiny percentage of the population. Why not eat from a different pie, where you get more than a few crumbs. Vote for the Meritocracy Party.

Meritocratic Aims.

The Meritocracy Party aims to replace consumerism with high culture. We wish to place ideas above money, aesthetics above shopping, community over the “I’m all right, Jack” ideology. Private property leads to private lives, dislocated communities, suspicion and competition between neighbours. We are not allies, we are enemies. How do we heal the rifts between us? We have to reduce the importance of the main focus of division between us: lust for money.

The Five Meritocratic Principles.

1) NO NEPOTISM

It’s not who your parents are, it’s who YOU are.

2) NO CRONYISM

It’s not what others can do for you, it’s what YOU can do.

3) NO DISCRIMINATION

Sex, race, religion, age, background are irrelevant. Talent is everything.

4) EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES

You start from the same point as everyone else, and you go as far as your talents take you.

5) REWARDING MERIT

The highest rewards for the highest achievers.

******

Goals.

1) To implement the five Meritocratic Principles.

2) To abolish the monarchy since it contradicts the first Meritocratic Principle. In a monarchy, the only thing that matter is the identity of your parents. In a meritocracy, your parents are irrelevant. The advent of meritocracy is accompanied by the automatic abolition of the monarchy. No meritocrat would seek the ‘permission’ of a monarch to govern.

3) To abolish the House of Lords (the House of Cronyism), which contradicts the second Meritocratic Principle since it’s the product of patronage. In a properly constituted meritocratic system, there is no requirement for a second House.

4) To abolish Party Politics. Political parties are irrelevant in a meritocratic system. Parliament will be populated entirely by independent, meritocratic MPs with no set political affiliations (other than their commitment to meritocracy).

5) Each independent MP is selected on the basis of their merit relating to their field of expertise. So, the Chancellor of the Exchequer is selected from amongst practising economists (and will be elected only by other economists). The Secretary of State for Health will be someone who works in the health field (and is elected only by health workers); the Secretary for Defence will be from the armed forces; the Foreign Secretary a serving official in the Foreign Office; the Secretary of State for Education a serving teacher/headmaster/lecturer. In other words, MPs in the House of Commons won’t represent a political party or a geographical constituency, but a particular field in which they have demonstrable experience, expertise and merit; and their constituents/voters will be people in the same field who can make an informed decision about their ability.

6) The Prime Minister will be elected by the MPs from amongst their number. Every five years, there will be a general election in which every MP has to seek the endorsement of their voters, or be replaced.

7) To abolish Cabinet Collective Responsibility. The principle that people should promote views with which they privately disagree is absurd and ipso facto brings politicians into disrepute. Why haven’t they resigned if they disagree with a policy? How can they defend a position that they themselves don’t believe in? If they publicly support a policy they privately reject, they are hypocrites.

8) Critiques of government policy will be provided by select committees of MPs. Special committees comprising scientists and philosophers may also be used, chosen because of their critical-thinking abilities and their expertise in challenging assumptions. Committees of artists, entrepreneurs and designers may also be called upon. Pressure groups will be given a prominent voice too since meritocracy welcomes close scrutiny.

9) To abolish the ‘moralising’ approach to politics (what’s ‘right’ and what’s ‘wrong’ – the politics of principle) in favour of the scientific method (what works and what doesn’t – the politics of pragmatism).

10) To increase Inheritance Tax to 100%. No one should be able to posthumously transfer an advantage to another person of their choosing. The state should acquire all of the assets of the deceased and should reinvest them to advance the public good, particularly via education.

11) Education is the bedrock of merit, and should be accorded the highest importance in the meritocratic state. The current education system is a demonstrable failure and should be overhauled in every respect. Our education system is designed to produce shoppers (these being what capitalist democracies require to sustain their economic model). True education is the opposite of shopping. It liberates the mind, not the credit card.

12) To promote the ideas of the most radical, freethinking, independently minded philosophers e.g. Nietzsche, Baudrillard, Rousseau, Diogenes, Camus, the Situationist International.

13) To provide community-based alternatives to the family (based, for example, on the Kibbutz model) so that if a family fails, its members can be nurtured in a different, constructive and productive environment of psychological and educational well-being.

(Shortly after our forum and comments page went live, they were attacked by the “hacktivist” group that refers to itself as Anonymous. The following is our response to their attack.)

In the movie V for Vendetta, an army of heroic, principled individuals wearing the mask of Guy Fawkes brought to an end a vicious, totalitarian government.

A group called “Anonymous” adopted the idea of a noble, anonymous army attacking the privileged elite and the enemies of free speech. So far, so good. Yet within an extremely short period, the liberators became the tyrants. How did it happen?

This article provides an analysis of how a group that embarked with the most honourable of intentions became the same as the fascist dictatorship it initially opposed. How did this tragedy happen to Anonymous, and is it a stark warning to all other groups that seek to bring to an end the rule of the Old World Order?

VENGEANCE AGAINST ANONYMOUS – HACKING SCUM.

“I believe in justice. I believe in Vengeance. I believe in getting the BASTARDS!!!” –Meritocratic New Model Army

Who are we? We are the Meritocratic New Model Army. Who are “Anonymous”? – fascist, hacking scum who sabotaged a forum for free speech on our website and are trying even now to close down this website. Two Argentinians and one Spaniard, none of whom can speak English, are the members of Anonymous currently attacking this site.

******

Here’s what went wrong with Anonymous. The qualities it regarded as its greatest strength proved its greatest defect, and it was obvious from the outset that this would be the case. It embraced the idea of a leaderless, grassroots movement where everyone who felt they were in tune with a broadly expressed agenda was welcomed on board. Any new recruits, completely unvetted, were free to call themselves “Anonymous” and to act in the name of Anonymous. This of course immediately made the organisation a hostage to the quality of people who chose to associate themselves with Anonymous. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link and if you apply no quality control to your chain, you end up with innumerable weak links. Anonymous is now such a chain, snapping everywhere.

Any group that has no commitment to quality and standards will inevitably slide down into the world of the lowest common denominator, of junk and crazy people. How does Anonymous prevent itself from attracting psychopaths? It has no mechanism for stopping vicious, destructive, cretinous nutcases from attaching themselves to the group. The self-indulgent, gleeful, destructive hacking in which these psychos engage then defines the Anonymous “brand” and quickly the world is able to see it for the monstrosity it is. In any system hostile to quality, the “wisdom of crowds” swiftly succumbs to the “madness of mobs”.

We offered a forum and comments section to people who wished to engage in a debate about how to change society for the better and overthrow Abrahamism and privileged elites. Because of Anonymous – a group of fascist hackers opposed to free speech – we have had to remove these facilities. We apologise to all of those who have been denied their right to speak, but that’s entirely the responsibility of the totalitarian “vigilantes” of Anonymous. They are like the Nazi stormtroopers of the 1920s and 30s who attacked any political groups that dared to oppose them.

Anonymous – like all fascists – have appointed themselves the judges of what is acceptable content on the internet. “Acceptable” is whatever they approve and “unacceptable” is whatever they dislike. The Old World Order did no damage to our website in four years of activity. Despite their myriad failings, they did not attempt to shut down our site regardless of our relentless critique of them. Anonymous, on the other hand, attacked us and tried to shut us down the very moment an opportunity came their way – and their chosen tactics were sleazy porn, viruses, and JavaScript sabotage scripts (their juvenile preoccupation with sex is all too reflective of their “philosophy”; Anonymous name their operations things like “Operation Tit”). It’s now obvious who is on the side of free speech and who isn’t. Anonymous are worse than the disease. In fact, they ARE the disease.

We declare ANONYMOUS excommunicate and anathema. We cast them into the outer darkness. We judge them damned, with the Devil and his fallen angels and all the reprobates, to eternal fire and everlasting pain.

Anonymous have proved themselves the enemies of quality, high standards and merit, of a new meritocratic society free of Abrahamic brainwashing. They have declared war on the global meritocratic movement. They stand for nothing but nihilistic destruction of anything that annoys them. How could these cretins and imbeciles ever hope to comprehend the work of Pythagoras, Leibniz, Goethe and Hegel? They are retards. They don’t even know what their cause is. To “defend” free speech, they attack any sites they find objectionable. Yeah, real smart, you fucking zombies. Since when did anyone appoint you the arbiters of what people can read and do on the internet? Fascist fuckers.

Anonymous are counter-revolutionaries. By attacking us, they have shown themselves to be on the side of the Abrahamic brainwashing machine and the Old World Order elite families of dynastic privilege who have dominated our world for millennia.

When has Anonymous ever done anything constructive? Can anyone point to any creative achievements on their part? Their “track record” is one of relentless, malicious hacking and sabotage. There is no evidence whatever that they are capable of doing anything other than hacking. Where is there grand online project to transform the world, to bypass the corporations and stop feeding the bank accounts of the billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg? No such project exists. These retards are capable solely of destruction. Their “skills” are those of the pure, destructive hacker, and we have seen over the years that nearly all of these people are autistic.

They lack “theory of mind” and empathy. They are barely human. Any person who spends all of their free time teaching themselves how to hack computers is about the saddest cunt you could ever imagine. Think of all the great subjects you could spend your time on. Would learning the tricks of the hacking trade ever appear on the list of worthwhile activities that have enriched the human condition?

The members of Anonymous are practically retarded. They never contribute positively to anything. They never construct. They never create. We have spent years building an edifice of 2,000,000 words. We have CREATED. We, the creators, define the world. The hackers are destroyers, so, self-evidently, they have to wait until the creators have built something before they can spring to life and into “attack and destroy” mode. They are parasites. They are full of envy and jealousy of all those who can create things. In their helpless, despairing, nihilistic rage at their own absolute inadequacy, they lash out at what others have built. They themselves build nothing. After all, what the fuck could a hacker ever build? You don’t become a hacker because you are creative and constructive. You do so for the opposite reasons.

We, and all other creators, could be said in a manner of speaking to control Anonymous. Without us, without the efforts we put in, they would have nothing to hack and sabotage. They are like cave people. They are Luddites. Every meritocratic, creative person should condemn these fascist hackers. Are they acting in YOUR name? So in whose name are they acting? Who are the puppetmasters behind the scenes? Are Anonymous now a vehicle of the OWO to attack the enemies of the OWO? Are CIA hackers now part of the Anonymous machine? It’s not as if the “leadership” of Anonymous have any idea who is acting in their name and what they are doing. There are no controls at all. Anonymous has afforded the perfect opportunity to the authorities to sabotage any controversial site such as ours that attacks everything the establishment stands for.

“We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us.”

You are Jerks. There are millions of you (jerks are in plentiful supply). You’re autistic (hence why you don’t forget). You have no empathy and theory of mind (hence why you never forgive). And we expect you to keep on hacking since you have no other skills. What else to geeks do with their time?

Who are the “regular” operatives of Anonymous (i.e. those not working on behalf of the Power Elite to attack anyone who opposes the Power Elite)? Can we profile them? Of course we can. They are overwhelmingly teenage boys fascinated with computers. They all use Unix and Linux operating systems. They’ve taught themselves hacking techniques and they all know JavaScript.

They are typically put upon by the real world. They are bullied at school and struggle to find jobs because employers rightly regard them as “weird”, illiterate and socially inept. They have subnormal emotional intelligence. Many of them are on the autistic spectrum and suffer from obsessive compulsive disorder. While being skilled at computing, they are practically useless at all other subjects. They are ignorant of art, literature, philosophy, mathematics, psychology and science. They spend most of their time with computers and are fanatical video gamers.

The only power they have in life comes from their obsession with computing. Without that, they would be literally talentless. So, their whole identity is invested in computing. They express themselves through computing. Without computers, they are lost.

These are the rank and file of Anonymous, and all of them have been given “permission” to attack anyone and anything that they personally deem hostile to the aims of Anonymous. Of course, no debates are undertaken. There’s no considered analysis or judgement. A person’s individual tastes and opinions are all that matter. If one geek in a bedroom doesn’t like something, he attacks it in the name of Anonymous. He feels proud of himself when he creates disruption. He has exercised POWER in the real world, and how intoxicating it is. Very quickly, he grows addicted to it. He loves destroying things, vandalising things, making the world that ignores him pay attention. Because otherwise he would be literally invisible. No one looks at these people in broad daylight. No one sees them. They cast no reflection, nor shadow. It’s as if they’re not there at all.

Such a person now becomes an exponent of V for Vendetta in the truest sense. He simply attacks whatever he dislikes; anyone and anything against which he has a personal vendetta. There’s no ideology behind his attacks, no nobility, no honour, no philosophy, no cause. He simply attacks because he CAN. Anyone who irritates him, no matter how slightly, feels his WRATH. And such people are always wrathful because their lives are vacuums. They are HOLLOW MEN, devoid of any commitment to any overarching cause. Their cause is nothing but their own vendettas, their own grudges, their own scores to settle.

But, remember, they never act in their own name – always in that of Anonymous. Slowly but surely, Anonymous becomes a vehicle for attacking anything that geeks, nerds and dorks find offensive. It becomes a fascist group dedicated to closing down anything to which its geek members object. They deny others free speech – in the name, would you believe it, of free speech! They wreck things not because those things are wrong but just because they don’t like them. They appoint themselves judge, jury and executioner. They are criminals. Real criminals. They have no constructive intent and nothing positive to say or contribute.

The Anonymous members who attacked our site had the opportunity to present their case against us via our free speech forum. But of course that would require intelligence, creativity and having something to say. The morons of Anonymous have no interest in that. They’re hackers and hacking (destroying) is the only thing that gives them LULZ (as these brain-dead cretins like to say). They stand for nothing other than hacking. Hacking is their drug and God because it is their single avenue to power in this world. They have no philosophy to announce to the world.

Anonymous is now just an organisation of out and out hackers wrecking anything they disagree with. There is no CAUSE. They’re a bunch of sad teenagers in their bedrooms venting their personal animus against the world.

The members of Anonymous inhabit the nerdosphere. They support dorkocracy and geekarchy. They are the uncoolest people imaginable. They are the sad losers at the back of the class. They’re despised by the smart, academic kids and equally despised by the street kids. No one wants anything to do with them. They’re the eternal losers. They have become so bitter that they’ve created ANONYMOUS to strike back against the whole world. But all they can do is hack. That’s their one and only “skill” and it ain’t much to write home about, is it? They’re not freedom fighters, they’re frustrated geeks wanting the world to take them seriously. But no one ever will because they have precisely zero to offer. Go back to your bedrooms and masturbate over your pictures of anal sex, you fucking halfwit wankers.

So, are you still on the side of free speech, you geek retards? Free speech means that you have to accept opinions you don’t like. It means you have to accept personal criticism. You cunts don’t accept any criticism at all. You are 100% fascists. Sure, by hacking websites, you can silence your critics, but all you have actually done is expose your fascist agenda. You should give yourselves a new name – The Fascist Troll Collective opposed to free speech.

Anonymous like to say: “The Corrupt Fear Us, the Honest Support Us, the Heroic Join Us.”

You lying cunts. You are totally corrupt and totally dishonest psycho hackers who destroy free speech sites for LULZ – as if that’s some kind of justification. No “hero” would ever join Anonymous. You are a fascist organisation of teenage autistic hackers. You have no agenda and no manifesto other than destructive LULZ which you try to dignify as some sort of attack on corporations. You are moronic retards. You ought to be in psychiatric wards. You have no contribution to make to the New World Order of justice, freedom and merit. You are the enemies of all of those things.

We challenge the leadership to justify their attack on our site. State your case. If you can’t then you are nothing but a rogue hacking machine with no “intelligence”, no platform, no agenda other than LULZ. Your operatives must have had a reason for attacking us. What is it? If they have no reasons then YOU are the enemies of the people and you must be destroyed. You are fascists. You are the enemies of all decent, honourable, meritocratic people campaigning for a new society.

We placed a forum for free speech on our website and it was quickly attacked by a “member” of Anonymous from Buenos Aires in Argentina (backed up by two other Spanish-speaking Anonymous members; one in Cordoba in Argentina and the other in Barcelona in Spain who monitor our website round the clock. The Spanish cunt accesses our site every fifteen minutes: that’s what it takes to be a hacker – you must have severe Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and autism). The Argentinian had no rational arguments to make. He attacked an English-speaking site even though he can’t speak English and therefore had no idea what the site says. He posted pictures of anal sex and of a man with female breasts – so sophisticated, huh? Such pictures are of course highly revealing about the contents of his own mind. He has extreme body image issues – he’s probably morbidly obese – and he’s obsessed with anal sex because life metaphorically fucks him up the ass all of the time.

He posted all of the usual Anonymous junk – like anyone actually cares! – and then infected the webpage with a virus to make it unusable (characteristically, it was a virus-contaminated image of anal sex – this jerk certainly has serious concerns over his sexuality!). So, the page was destroyed and he succeeded in depriving others of the free speech.

He continued to hang around to gloat, although of course he never had anything meaningful to say. He was completely unable to offer any philosophical justification for his actions. He was manifestly a person of subnormal intelligence. Like autistic savants, computer hackers can be highly skilled in this one arena and functionally retarded in every other aspect of their life. This was such a person.

He has disgraced the entire Anonymous Movement and exposed it for what it is – an out of control group of teenage hackers who now think they have the right to dictate to the rest of the world and decide what can and cannot be said. They are the absolute enemies of free speech. They have become like the Borg from Star Trek. They are a collective mind, a hive intelligence (as they describe themselves) of people with extremely high hacking skills and correspondingly low, subhuman skills in every other field. They engage in groupthink, share almost identical tastes and believe themselves “gods” in the context of computers. The more that life laughs at them and mocks their inadequacies, the more they rage against the machine. Everyone is to blame except them.

Many people deploy a cloak of anonymity to allow them to exercise free speech in a repressive world; but Anonymous don’t actually have anything to say. They have no manifesto. We gave our Anonymous troll many opportunities to articulate a position. But he couldn’t. He had zero philosophy. He was a nihilist, a destroyer, a cipher. Anonymous is full of these clowns. It has become a gigantic circus, but no one’s laughing.

Drunk on their own power over the billions of people who couldn’t care less about computing, these hackers (and how dare they claim to be anything other than that – their true character is now revealed for all to see) are waging a war against free speech and against anyone who opposes them in any way. It’s not too strong to say that they are a terrorist organisation. Terrorists destroy buildings in real space – these terrorist hackers destroy infrastructure in cyberspace. They dress up their terrorism as some sort of noble cause when in fact it’s sheer pettiness, vindictiveness and teenage rage against the world. They’re pathetic, a joke. They have as much to do with the true message of V for Vendetta as Mussolini’s black-shirted fascists.

Anyone who has read George Orwell’s Animal Farm will recognize the process. The animals, led by the pigs, ousted their human oppressors, but by the end of the novel, the pigs were fraternizing with their old human masters, to the dismay of all the non-pigs: “The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.”

Thus it is with Anonymous. The pigs have become the oppressors. Theirs is the mask of the fascist, of the terrorist hacker, determined to silence everything that their tiny autistic minds find distasteful. They have no “position” to articulate, no cause to fight for, no philosophy to espouse. They are just cyber hyenas attacking anything they dislike. They are a plague of cyber locusts.

But who cares? Go ahead. Destroy our site. Feast on it until the bones are bleached. The day we start giving a shit what a morbidly obese, retarded Argentinian hacker thinks about anything will be the day they sell ice cream in hell. Go and eat more paella, you fat fuck.

The difference between us is that we stand for something while you are a vacuum, an empty space, an absence, a void. Nothing will ever cure you. You’re already eternally fucked, and you know it better than we do – because you have to live with yourself every day. And what hell could be greater than that?

Why don’t you write a JavaScript routine to print out what a sad, fat fuck you are, what a retarded failure of a human being? You’re the all-time loser, a pathetic cunt hiding in your bedroom. Nothing’s going to change that. Put on your Anonymous mask all day long, retard, because no one wants to see your face, you fucking sad freak.

Hey, amigo, you have a serious problem. We’re very smart and you’re very dumb. We’re highly articulate and all you can do is code viruses. We stand for something while you don’t stand for anything (other than puerile hacking for LULZ). A computer geek can never win an argument. All they can do is sabotage the forum in which the argument takes place. They try to shut down free speech because free speech is no use to geeks – who can barely speak at all. Have you ever tried talking to one? But the debate goes on regardless. All of the material on this website is already available on Amazon (look up Adam Weishaupt, Michael Faust and Mike Hockney). So, even if Anonymous destroy our free speech site, anyone interested in our work, in our free speech, can get it there instead (but unfortunately you’ll have to pay for it rather than getting it free as at present). This article will itself soon be immortalised on Amazon to provide a permanent record of what a bunch of geek freaks Anonymous are. They are the definition of “uncool” and total losers. By the way, how considerate of you to think of our hard-pressed bank balance – and our bank manager passes on his fond regards (he thinks it’s insane to impart the secrets of the world for free).

So, amigo, do you think you’ve done a bang-up job for Anonymous? Are you a geek hero, a conquering dork, the veritable King of the Nerds? Or have you made a fool of yourself and the rest of your hacking gang and exposed your fascist freak squad for what they truly are? You’re a fat, anally fixated mummy’s boy locked in your bedroom 24/7 with all your anal porn magazines. Why don’t you do something useful like learning English? The Spanish Inquisition has been out of action for centuries, you fascist Franco fucker.

Did you know that these sad freaks spend their lives looking up IP addresses and server vulnerabilities, finding “back doors” and ways to infect computers with JavaScript routines and viruses? What a sad and pathetic way to spend your life. That’s almost the definition of a failed and futile life. Only autistic OCD sufferers would spend their lives that way. One word will be written on their tombstone – GEEK! – and everyone will snigger.

Never forget – the Geek shall never inherit the earth. Adios, LOSER!

TO ANYONE WHO IS SERIOUS ABOUT CHANGING THE WORLD, JOIN OUR NEW MODEL ARMY. WE DON’T GO AROUND HACKING OR POSTING PORN LIKE FIVE- YEAR-OLDS. WE’RE CREATING THE BLUEPRINT FOR A BRAND NEW HUMANITY, FREE OF ALL OF THE MISTAKES OF THE PAST. THE OLD WORLD ORDER WILL NEVER FEAR AUTISTICS IN MASKS. THEY WILL FEAR A NEW POLITICAL PARTY – THE MERITOCRACY PARTY – COMMITTED TO INTRODUCING 100% INHERITANCE TAX TO REMOVE THE MONEY FROM THE PRIVILEGED DYNASTIC ELITES AND REDISTRIBUTE IT AMONGST THE PEOPLE. IN THE USA, 400 ELITE PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME WEALTH AS THE 150 MILLION POOREST AMERICANS. 400 VERSUS 150 MILLION!!! ISN’T IT TIME TO INVEST IN THE 150 MILLION? ISN’T IT TIME FOR JUSTICE?

WE ARE THE MOVEMENT!

Deconstructing “Anonymous”.

Who are “Anonymous”? – Filthy, lying, hacking, fascist scum opposed to free speech. For days now, Spanish-speaking members of Anonymous have been attempting to destroy this site. They are probing this site 24/7 and we can track all of their infantile manoeuvres. This is a free speech site and these fascists are attacking us in the name of – would you believe it? – “free speech”! They are cretins. We shall now take a moment to deconstruct their official flag, which you can see, for example, on their Wikipedia entry.

Note that, according to their own design, they are headless, brainless, mindless and lacking any intelligence. They have a question mark where their head ought to be, demonstrating that they are clueless, don’t know what they’re doing and have no platform, manifesto or agenda other than LULZ – mindless hacking for kicks and to impress their equally retarded friends. The central figure is placed in front of a globe, revealing that they seek global domination. Note that the figure wears the suit and tie of the corporate world. Are they in the employ of the Old World Order? Are they the new sabotage unit of the Power Elite, wrecking any sites that promote an agenda of resistance to the corporate elite?

Read our article on the psychopathology of this terrorist, criminal, hacking group, followed by our article on the global meritocracy movement to free the world from the rule of the Power Elite. One group is full of children wrecking anything they don’t like, posting porn, viruses and anything else that gives them a giggle; the other is an adult political agenda. Make up your own mind as to which is which. Join a serious, constructive and creative movement for change. Hackers are destructive scum with nothing to offer the world. Hackers can’t build or create. The mindset of hackers is that of autistics and those suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder. They can devote 24/7 to their attempts to wreck websites via viruses, sabotage scripts and “denial of service”. These are the people who spam you and infect your machines with viruses. They are the people who try to hijack your browser, log your keystrokes, steal your identity and commit fraud against you. They are criminal gangs.

Defend Free Speech – Resist ANONYMOUS!!! Stand up against the fascists who seek to control what can be said on the internet. Resist criminal hackers trying to wreck the internet and steal from you.

Anonymous – The Autistic Collective.

“I am – like all hackers – a little bit autistic.” –Julian Assange

“The thrill [of hacking] was exorbitant. It was like the first time you beat an adult at chess. I’m amazed when I run into people who don’t understand the pleasure in this.” –Assange

“I was beginning to get the hacker’s disease: no sleep, bottomless curiosity, single-mindedness, and an obsession with precision…But in my mid- to late teens I could barely focus on anything that didn’t seem to me like a major breakthrough.” –Assange

“[Hacking] was certainly addictive. You’d dive down into a computer system…You’d take it over…It was like being able to teleport yourself…in order to walk around and take charge [of the computer]…It sounds ridiculous, but we found our own keyholes into the workings of [computer systems]…until we found we would be able to control their whole system.”

WikilLeaks is an admirable enterprise if its purpose is to expose corruption and hypocrisy. But Julian Assange’s unauthorised autobiography presents a rather a different picture. He’s a hacking addict, turned on by hacking, unable to live without it. So, he tries to turn his criminal desire to interfere with the work of others – anybody about whom he becomes curious – into some noble undertaking when in fact he’s just a self-serving addict, feeding his obsession and intoxicated by the power he feels when he has broken into a system. He’s driven by the LULZ.

Anonymous is full of criminal hackers who like to think they are motivated by a cause when in truth they are simply autistics who gets their few pleasures in life from cracking computer codes.

ANONYMOUS = HACKING = AUTISM = DEFICIENCY OF EMPATHY

We have observed with utter astonishment the endless attempts, day after day, by a growing group of Anonymous autistics to wreck our system. “Resistance is futile,” they say, quoting the inhuman Borg collective of Star Trek, with whom they closely identify. What is truly futile is how these autistics spend their lives. It’s actually rather disturbing that the computer age has given so much power to a group of people lacking in basic humanity. These people should be exposed to as much art, literature, poetry and creative writing as possible to counteract their medical condition. The worst possible outcome for them is to allow them to indulge their hacking addiction; it’s the equivalent of putting alcoholics in a bar or junkies in a shooting gallery.

******

UPDATE: We are now tracking numerous members of Anonymous attacking this site. There are several more from Spain, and some from Portugal and Mexico. Welcome to the party, you fascist retards. Why don’t you spend the rest of your lives here? Of course, none of them can read English; not that they concern themselves with such niceties as understanding what a site says before attacking it. These LULZ freaks just do it for the sake of doing it. Their autistic condition means they are incapable of letting go and trying to do something creative with their lives. “ANONYMOUS” – THE HACKERS’ COLLECTIVE FOR SUBNORMAL FASCIST GEEKS AND TROLLS. Several hackers’ forums are now discussing how best to “get us”. Of course, you would never discover these dunces discussing art, philosophy, mathematics or politics. This is proving a fascinating insight into the sad and depressing world of computer autistics. Their lives are so empty that they do nothing other than probe websites for weaknesses. Hey, morons, there’s a whole universe out there. You don’t have to stay in your bedrooms 24/7, masturbating, video gaming and hacking.

Trolls.

These sad people feed on negative energy. They spend their lives trying to wreck, sabotage, destroy, flame, annoy, and generally ruin everything they come across. Of course, their actions are a reflection of the terrible mental problems from which they suffer. Imagine going through life dedicated to upsetting others, irritating them and trying to stop them. What kind of life is that?

Trolls have nothing positive to offer. They can play no part in a constructive, creative world. Trolling equates to a kind of mental illness. It’s severely anti-social and ought to be turned into a form of conduct as wrong and illegal as drink driving. A fierce debate between committed opponents is always welcome; a deliberately malicious, nasty and underhand attack designed to offend and wreck must always be condemned.

Anonymous – the Good Guys?

Someone wrote to us in defense of Anonymous, saying that we had a lot in common with them.

Our Reply: We agree with almost all of your comments on Anonymous, and indeed we used to be supportive of Anonymous. However, the infantile Anonymous attack we suffered has radically changed our view of this organisation. Anonymous is closely associated with another group called LulzSec and Wikipedia says: “LulzSec draws its name from the neologism ‘Lulz’, (from LOLs – ‘laughing out loud’), which often signifies laughter at the victim of a prank.’

In our opinion, Anonymous, no matter its serious intent in some quarters, has identified itself with pranks, porn, trolling and sabotage just for the sake of it. Many people join Anonymous and LulzSec not because they have any political views but because it gives them some sort of sanction to indulge what they want to do – which is to have a laugh at other people’s expense. It’s clear that Julian Assange was much less interested in his political opposition to the Pentagon than he was in the sheer thrill it gave him to break through their security. Just as serial killers take a “trophy” from their victims, the information that WikilLeaks get from hacking is their trophy. But they would attack anyone who presented any hacking challenge, regardless of political stance.

Anonymous is increasingly a kind of street theatre on the one hand and cyber “trick or treating” on the other. It’s simply not serious and is rapidly becoming counter-productive. Unless it has a clear manifesto and political aims, and actively condemns the LULZ mentality that attracts so many of its members, we are more than happy to characterize it as we have done.

The world has to start getting serious. Whom will the elite most fear? – infantile hackers and pranksters in masks or a meritocratic political party threatening to remove all of their money and power from them in order to redistribute it amongst the people and to invest in the highest quality education for ordinary boys and girls from non-privileged backgrounds?

Serious members of Anonymous should come across to Meritocracy and ditch lulz and hacking. We want to present them with a clear choice. Moreover, the stance we have articulated makes it clear that we will accept no trolls, hackers or pornographers acting in our name.

Building a movement is based on two things: recruiting the right kind of people, and excluding the wrong type who damage what you are trying to accomplish. Anonymous has done nothing at all to distance itself from the trolls who act in its name. Our attack on Anonymous now gives them a dialectical opportunity to up their game and repudiate the trolls. Sadly, we don’t think they’re capable of it.

The Mathematical Key:

“All things are numbers.” –Pythagoras

Philosophy can usefully be reduced to three main positions:

1) Idealism: mind is primary. Matter is a mental construct, a creation of the mind.

2) Materialism: matter is primary. Mind is a material construct, a creation of matter.

3) Panpsychism – an intermediate position between idealism and materialism. Mind and matter both exist, but all matter is imbued with mind (i.e. mind is everywhere and in all things).

Panpsychism lies closer to idealism because it supports the primacy of mind and the possible existence of mind without matter but not the reverse position of matter existing without mind.

What is science? In fact, it is nothing but mathematical materialism i.e. the materialist philosophy expressed mathematically. Science has destroyed all opposition because nothing else matches the power of mathematics. Science only has one rival – a rival that has hitherto been secret – ILLUMINATION. And what is Illumination? – it is mathematical idealism, and can also be characterized as mathematical panpsychism. The key point is that it employs exactly the same decisive weapon as science – mathematics – except it does so much more thoroughly, to the extent that science is finally revealed as an incomplete subset of Illumination. All of the great mysteries are answered in that part of mathematics which deals with the key arena ignored by science – namely three numbers: zero, infinity and the “imaginary number”, i.

Illuminism, a position based on mathematical idealism/panpsychism, asserts that a) mind is primary and can exist without matter b) matter can never exist without mind c) Mind is everywhere and present in all things d) Mind and matter are entirely MATHEMATICAL.

Matter can be considered a mathematical function of mind. Matter is real, but only as a dimensional implementation of the functions of dimensionless mind. Mind is dimensionless matter and matter is dimensional mind. The two states are related by mathematical TRANSFORMS such as the Fourier Transform.

The concept of the Mathematical Transform is the key to mind-matter interaction. It is the SOLUTION to Cartesian mind-matter dualism. Mind and matter are simply transforms of each other.

A Fourier Transform can convert a frequency spectrum into a time/space representation, and an inverse Fourier Transform can do the opposite and convert a time/space function into a frequency spectrum. Likewise, mind and matter are connected by a mind transform to matter and an inverse matter transform to mind.

What is the brain-mind complex? It’s just a fantastically complex living computer that performs Fourier Transforms and their inverse, and this is what constitutes the mind-matter interaction and how they communicate with each other and make sense of each other. The mind is a dimensionless frequency domain and the brain is a dimensional time/space domain. Fourier Transforms can convert time-space functions into frequency representations, and inverse Fourier Transforms do the reverse.

Consider these statements by Michael Talbot in his famous book The Holographic Universe: “Roughly speaking what Fourier developed was a mathematical way of converting any pattern, no matter how complex, into a language of simple waves. He also showed how these waveforms could be converted back into the original pattern. In other words, just as a television camera converts an image into electromagnetic frequencies and a television set converts those frequencies back into the original image, Fourier showed how a similar process could be achieved mathematically. The equations he developed to convert images into waveforms and back again are known as Fourier Transforms.

“Fourier transforms enabled Gabor [the Nobel Prize winner who invented holography] to convert a picture of an object into the blur of interference patterns on a piece of holographic film. They also enabled him to devise a way of converting those interference patterns back into an image of the original object. In fact the special whole in every part of a hologram is one of the by- products that occurs when an image or pattern is translated into the Fourier language of waveforms…Only one conclusion could be drawn. The brain was using Fourier mathematics – the same mathematics holography employed – to convert visual images into the Fourier language of wave forms.”

Talbot’s final position is that: “Despite its apparent materiality the universe is actually a kind of 3-D projection and is ultimately no more real than a hologram.” Talbot isn’t quite right. The universe is real all right, but it does indeed operate first and foremost according to Fourier mathematics and it does therefore have a great deal in common with the principles of holography.

******

There’s no reason to believe that other transforms, unconnected to Fourier transforms, can’t also carry out important operations in the brain-mind dynamic. The reason we particularly emphasize Fourier transforms is that the time-space domain on the one hand and frequency domain on the other, linked as they are by the Fourier transform, seem to provide the most natural description of matter and mind. The time-space domain is that of the material world and the frequency domain is that of mind.

Moreover, the broader subject of Fourier Wave Analysis from which Fourier transforms are derived is integral to the Schrödinger wave equations of quantum mechanics. In the book Introducing Quantum Theory, J.P. McEvoy wrote: “[Fourier] developed a method of solving equations by expressing any mathematical function as the sum of an infinite series of other periodic functions…When [Schrödinger] was considering [his] wave equation, Fourier’s well- known technique was called the method of Eigen values (Eigen is German for “certain”). The trick is to find the correct functions and the amplitudes of each that added together by superposition, would reproduce the desired solution…any periodic function is equal to a sum of simple harmonic functions…Thus, the solution of Schrödinger’s equation – the wave function for the system – was replaced by an infinite series – the wave functions of the individual states – which are natural harmonics of each other. That is to say, their frequencies are related in the ratio of whole numbers, or integers…

Schrödinger’s remarkable discovery was that the replacement waves described the individual states of the quantum system and their amplitudes gave the relative importance of that particular state to the whole system…In other words, contained within the well-established and well-understood mathematics of Eigen value functions was the underlying quantization of atomic systems…Schrodinger’s equation has been universally recognized as one of the greatest achievements of 20th century thought, containing much of physics and, in principle, all of chemistry. It was immediately accepted as a mathematical tool of unprecedented power for dealing with problems of the atomic structure of matter. Not surprisingly, the work became known as wave mechanics.”

In chemistry, atoms are building blocks used to construct molecules. Countless molecules make us – human beings. But now we see from the above quotation that atoms can in turn be mathematically decomposed into simpler building blocks: they are just combinations of simple mathematical waves describing all possible quantum states of the atom, some being more probable than others. Ergo building blocks of simple mathematical waves (sinusoidal waves) are at the root of the ENTIRE MATERIAL WORLD. And according to mainstream quantum theory, all we can ever know about a quantum system is what state it will PROBABLY be in at any one time.

Is it not astounding? “Reality” starts to dissolve, to be replaced by nothing other than endless combinations of simple mathematical waves.

Why is there so much diversity and variety in the world? Why are there so many patterns? It’s because of mathematics. Is it not a thing of absolute wonder that we can take simple sinusoidal waves and from combinations of these we can build a whole world? We just need to combine the waves in more and more complex ways to create a more and more complex world. Eventually these wave combinations are so complex they can ponder their own existence. We are just such mathematical functions! Human beings are, so to speak, the physicalisation of immensely complex wave equations. If we could analyse ourselves mathematically rather than via our senses we would be presented with a mind-boggling array of simple waves all superimposed on one another. The waves would have different frequencies, amplitudes and phases but they would all nevertheless be simple waves.

Everyone has heard of “brain waves”, both metaphorical and actual. Four types of waves are associated with brain activity: Beta (13-40 Hz, the highest frequency waves), Alpha (7-12 Hz), Theta (4-7 Hz) and Delta (0-4 Hz, the lowest frequency waves).

The Beta state is associated with peak-concentration, heightened alertness, visual acuity and cognitive activity. The Alpha state is linked to deep relaxation, to meditation and trance. It accesses the creativity of the unconscious and acts as the gateway to higher states of consciousness. And it covers the frequency range in which the “Schuman Resonance” occurs – this is the resonant frequency (7.83 Hz) of the earth’s electromagnetic field.

The Theta state is elusive and extraordinary – a kind of limbo state. We experience this twilight state only fleetingly as we first awake, or, alternatively, as we drift off to sleep. The Theta state is like a waking dream. We can experience flashes of vivid imagery and hallucinations and we are responsive to stimuli and information beyond our normal conscious awareness. This is the domain of “lucid dreaming”. Theta has also been linked with learning and memory. Theta meditation is said to increase creativity, to enhance learning, aid stress reduction and activate intuition and extrasensory perception.

As for the Delta state, this is associated with deep sleep and is associated with healing, relaxation, recuperation, regeneration and restoration. In Delta, we are “repaired” and made ready for the next day’s exertions.

In summary, beta waves reflect normal waking activity – thinking and problem solving when the eyes are wide open; slower alpha waves are associated with a quiet, relaxed mind when the eyes are closed and meditation is taking place; theta waves are associated with drowsiness and the encroaching sleep state; delta waves occur during sleep itself.

We might say that beta waves = consciousness; alpha and theta waves = bicameralism, hypnosis and pre-consciousness; delta = deep sleep and the unconscious. Evolution is about the journey from slow, low energy brain waves associated with the unconscious to higher frequency, higher energy waves reflecting consciousness. Are there unidentified waves higher than beta that might take us into the realm of the consciousness of the gods? Is that where our higher destiny lies? Imagine that we could construct “God machines” that shape our brain waves into the patterns associated with gnosis and divinity. Would these machines not be the equivalent of the Holy Grail itself?

Analysis of brain wave activity may be the key to changing the world. The particular characteristics of a person’s brainwaves almost certainly reflect his personality type. We could perhaps change people’s behaviour by bombarding them with waves in which they are deficient. For example, imagine that Abrahamists are deficient in beta waves (they are less conscious and more bicameral than rational people). Could we beam beta waves at them to stimulate and regulate their beta wave activity and enhance their consciousness, making them more rational? Equally, could we bombard a person in their beta state with alpha and theta waves in order to stimulate enhanced creativity, or with delta waves to summon their unconscious into consciousness? In short, could there be an entire undiscovered and unexplored science of brain waves that might revolutionize education, spirituality and the way people think and behave? Could we eliminate Abrahamism and privileged elites via brain wave devices?

Of course, there is the physical barrier of the bone of the skull that provides an effective block to low-power waves escaping from inside the head or being beamed into it. Nevertheless, ways could be found to address such difficulties. The CIA’s notorious MK-ULTRA project intensively researched how to remotely implant ideas in people’s minds.

In his book, Physical Control of the Mind, Toward a Psychocivilized Society (1969), Dr Jose Delgado wrote of two-way radio communication with the brain involving a device implanted in the brain to transmit electrical impulses capable of restraining aggression or stimulating calming sensations of pleasure.

He showed that it’s possible to equip people with minute instruments called “stimoceivers” (or “transdermal stimulators”) for radio transmission and reception of electrical messages to and from the brain. He considered it possible for the stimoceiver to provide a reciprocal feedback link between humans and computers, allowing neurons and microchips to work in synchronisation to allow for the medical control of neurophysiological functions. He thought it might be possible to detect the onset of an epileptic fit and send corrective signals to inhibit the attack.

The Wikipedia entry on Delgado provides the following helpful summary:

Delgado’s research interests centred on the use of electrical signals to evoke responses in the brain. His earliest work was with cats, but he later did experiments with monkeys and humans, including mental patients.

Much of Delgado’s work was with an invention he called a stimoceiver, a radio which joined a stimulator of brain waves with a receiver which monitored E.E.G. waves and sent them back on separate radio channels. This allowed the subject of the experiment full freedom of movement while allowing the experimenter to control the experiment.

The stimoceiver could be used to stimulate emotions and control behaviour. According to Delgado, “Radio Stimulation of different points in the amygdala and hippocampus in the four patients produced a variety of effects, including pleasant sensations, elation, deep, thoughtful concentration, odd feelings, super relaxation, coloured visions, and other responses.” Delgado stated that “brain transmitters can remain in a person’s head for life. The energy to activate the brain transmitter is transmitted by way of radio frequencies.”

The most famous example of the stimoceiver in action occurred at a Cordoba bull breeding ranch. Delgado stepped into the ring with a bull which had had a stimoceiver implanted. The bull charged Delgado, who pressed a remote control button which caused the bull to stop its charge. Delgado claimed that the stimulus caused the bull to lose its aggressive instinct.

Although the bull incident was widely mentioned in the popular media, Delgado believed that his experiment with a female chimpanzee named Paddy was more significant. Paddy was fitted with a stimoceiver linked to a computer that detected the brain signal called a spindle. When the spindle was recognized, the stimoceiver sent a signal to the central gray area of Paddy’s brain, producing an ‘aversive reaction’. Within hours her brain was producing fewer spindles.

Delgado stated: “The feasibility of remote control of activities in several species of animals has been demonstrated […] The ultimate objective of this research is to provide an understanding of the mechanisms involved in the directional control of animals and to provide practical systems suitable for human application.”

Never forget that brain wave activity is pure mathematics. All of our thoughts are contained in these waves. Nothing can exist outside of mathematics. There is not a single part of us that is not absolutely reducible to mathematics and, in particular, to the building blocks of existence – waves.

Illuminism can also be characterised as mathematical monism. The universe comprises a single substance. We might call it “energy” but all that energy actually does is perform mathematical operations. Energy is indistinguishable from what it does and what it does is perform mathematics – nothing else. Energy is “living mathematics”, so to speak. Mind is dimensionless energy and matter is dimensional energy. Mind and matter DO MATHEMATICS and that’s all they do. The difference between the two is that mind is dimensionless mathematics in the frequency domain and matter is dimensional mathematics in the space-time domain. They communicate and interconvert via mathematical transforms. EVERTHING is a function of mathematics, and not a single thing exists outside mathematics. Everything that seems completely unmathematical – such as feelings and irrational decisions – is in fact mathematical when properly understood. What is an emotion? It’s information in the broadest sense. What is information? – mathematical signals. If there were no mathematical signals, there would be no information. If there was no information, there would be no emotions. Nothing can exist if it cannot be boiled down to mathematical signals and information. There is mathematics and nothing besides.

Everything to do with God, souls, the afterlife, consciousness, mind and how mind and matter interact is an expression of mathematics. A Grand Unified Theory of Everything is possible because ultimately everything is just one thing – mathematics. The universe is intelligible because it is ordered according to the laws of mathematics. Any universe not based on mathematics would be unintelligible and contain no order, organisation or information. Such a universe would be utterly meaningless. Such a universe cannot exist.

Mathematics is meaning. Mathematics is evolution. Why? Because mathematical functions have one crucial property – they can become more complex. The universe is nothing but an infinite mathematical function growing more and more complex, so complex eventually that it becomes conscious and can reflect on its own mathematical nature. Consciousness is self-aware mathematics. Human beings are MATHEMATICAL entities. We are functions, nodes of a cosmic mathematical equation that is in the process of solving itself. The answer to the cosmic equation is GOD! And we can all become God by becoming mathematically optimised.

Any system of thought or belief divorced from mathematics is pure BULLSHIT with zero truth content in any practical sense. The Torah, Bible and Koran do not contain a single mathematical equation hence are utter nonsense from beginning to end. These books say not a single truthful thing about the nature of the cosmos and existence.

Science is mathematical materialism, and it’s thanks to mathematics that it’s so successful. Science fails in the last resort because it does not define mind as an independent entity. Illuminism is the ultimate system of thought because mathematical idealism/panpsychism incorporates mathematical materialism i.e. science is a subset of Illuminism. Illuminism is that which answers all of the issues regarding what lies beyond science. In that sense, Illuminism is pure metaphysics but of a singular nature. All of the metaphysical assertions of Illuminism are actually statements of mathematics, just as all statements of science are. Mathematics unifies physics and metaphysics. Mathematics unifies and explains EVERYTHING.

This is the Gospel of the Illuminati.

Autonomous Humanity:

The world should be designed for optimisation of the individual through education. The whole world should be an academy for producing free, independent, self-defining, self-creating, autonomous, adventurous, creative individuals. This is the doctrine of positive liberty.

Autonomous Humanity. A culture of autonomy. HyperHumans. Supermen and Superwomen. The creation of a spiritual economy, an economy of mind, ideas, art, creativity, performance. Good meme factories. Stop the spread of unhealthy memes and the dangerous viral transmission of toxic ideas – above all, Abrahamism.

A New Religion?:

IMAGINE THAT A GROUP OF WILD-EYED, bearded men came into your town proclaiming a new religion: “We worship a God who demands that fathers kill their children to prove their absolute obedience.” It wouldn’t take off, would it? They’d be arrested and jailed. Hold on a moment – IT DID TAKE OFF! There are billions of these people and they call themselves Jews, Christians and Muslims. By failing to utterly repudiate Abraham’s monstrous agreement to murder his own son because a voice in his head told him to, by saying that they too would show exactly the same level of obedience – because that’s what you are signing up to when you declare Abraham as your patriarch – these people have shown themselves the most evil and dangerous people imaginable.

Let no one be in any doubt about Abraham’s status. He is called the First Jew, the First Christian and the First Muslim. He is exalted precisely because he was so obedient to “God” that he was willing to make a human sacrifice of his own son. Any normal man would have proclaimed this God the Devil and vowed to fight him to his last breath, but not Abraham. Abraham, in truth, is the FIRST SATANIST. He was prepared to shed blood, to take a life, to appease his God. This is the origin of all Satanic ceremonies of human sacrifice. They are simply emulating Abraham, their first Master of the Black Arts.

In the Bible, Cain is condemned for killing Abel, yet Abraham is celebrated for being about to slit the throat of his own, innocent son. What the fuck!?

The whole of the Torah, Bible and Koran is founded on the story of Abraham. The “quality” that is most celebrated about him is his willingness to do murder on behalf of God. And has that not been the central characteristic of Abrahamism? It has generated endless legions willing to murder in God’s name. The maniacs flying their hijacked planes into the Twin Towers died with the words “Allahu Akbar” – God is Great! – on their lips as they committed suicide while simultaneously performing mass murder. Can anyone say that they weren’t acting in entirely the manner prescribed by Abraham and his God? While Abraham was about to plunge his blade into his son, wouldn’t he too have been saying, “God is great!”

Abrahamism, isn’t just sick, it’s EVIL. It’s pure Satanism, and that was true right from the beginning. Anyone who calls themselves a Jew, Christian or Muslim is proclaiming themselves a servant of the Devil, willing to kill anyone who opposes the Devil, and even to kill those, like Abraham’s son, who are just innocent children. How many babies were killed on the hijacked planes on 9/11?

Abrahamism is pathological. It ought to be treated as severe psychopathy, and everything should be done to eradicate it. No healthy nation would tolerate this hateful, mad, murderous religion.

Imagine the story of the True God and Abraham. Wouldn’t he have said to Abraham, “Never take a human life under any circumstances. Thou shalt not kill. Never wage war. Never make weapons. Never kill, never murder, never massacre. Above all, NEVER KILL IN MY NAME for I find the taking of life the greatest possible abomination, sin and crime, and anyone who takes a life will assuredly burn in hell forever and be eternally damned. Anyone who says my name as they commit murder will be consigned to the lowest circle of hell where their punishments will be infinite both in extent and in pain.”

Isn’t it rather curious that Abraham’s God didn’t say THAT?! Isn’t that what a moral, loving God of peace and harmony would say? Why was it that from the outset, killing in God’s name was established as the primary element of Abrahamism? Holy War, Crusades and Jihad were implicit in Abrahamism from the beginning. God made no attempt to anathematize murder. Far from it, he showed that he was willing to order murder, and he expected his order to be obeyed to the letter. In the story of Jephtha’s daughter, a teenage virgin was put to death by her father because he had made a solemn agreement with God to kill the first thing that came out of his house if God granted him victory in battle. God did not attempt to save the girl’s life. He is the God of human sacrifice.

Why would “God” be granting anyone victory in battle, and why would he want to agree to a mad promise to kill the first creature to come out of a house (and given that he allegedly has foreknowledge, he knew exactly who it would be). How can anyone worship this monster? He is the antithesis of God and that was blindingly obvious from the start. Why did the ancient Gnostics see who he was straight away while the rest were completely blind? Was it because the Gnostics were people of reason, knowledge and pagan philosophy while the Abrahamists were irrational, ignorant, fanatics of faith?

The War of Enlightenment has been going on since the dawn of time. The Jews, Christians and Muslims have always been on the wrong side – the Devil’s side. Abrahamism must be obliterated. It is the source of the evil of our world because it was never anything other than Satan’s religion to control the world. We will never be free, we will never have a rational world, we will never have peace and harmony, until the evil billions of Abrahamists are no more. They must CONVERT to reason. They must see the light – or they can have no future.

Abrahamism is the greatest lie and deception in history. Billions of people think they are glorifying God when in fact they are worshipping the Devil. That has been obvious from the every moment “God” ordered Abraham to kill his son. That order could never under any circumstances have come from the lips of the True God, from a God of peace, love and morality. REASON allows us to see that instantly, but the Abrahamists are not people of reason. They are ignorant. They are slaves and fanatics. They can’t think. THEY are the reason why our world is fucked. They are the cause of everything that’s wrong. Their beliefs are the source of the poison and pollution. They are alienated from the True God to the maximum possible extent – because they actually worship his antithesis: the DEVIL.

To all Abrahamists – why aren’t you ashamed of yourselves? Your beliefs are a disgrace. They are contrary to reason and almost comically stupid – but no one’s laughing because you have subjected the world to a reign of terror with your extremism and fanaticism. Nineteen Muslims didn’t carry out 9/11; it was carried out by ALL Muslims. 9/11 is the precise meaning of the Islamic religion, its Abrahamic logic carried out to the letter. “Slaughter the infidels. Show no mercy. There is no God but God and everyone who rejects him will burn forever in hellfire. Jihad and martyrdom – the fast track to the highest heaven, closest to Allah.” These are YOUR beliefs. Take personal responsibility. You are EVIL. You are followers of the Prince of Darkness.

And exactly the same is true of Christianity and Islam. The most violence and murder in world history has emanated from Christian countries, and they have taken their lead from the Terror God of the Jews, the source of all the world’s ills.

Abrahamism is a Doomsday Machine. It’s a death star. It’s the true Armageddon Conspiracy against the world. It longs for the Apocalypse, for the “Rapture”. It’s a death cult. It stands convicted of the accusation the Romans levelled against it – utter hatred of humanity.

All Abrahamists – you are DEGENERATE. You have been found guilty of TOTAL DEPRAVITY. YOU are the original sin of humanity. Isn’t it time you became GOOD and repudiated your Devil God of human sacrifice? Can’t you see that a God who orders a father to murder his son can NEVER be God? It really is as simple as that. There is no possible justification for “God’s” command to Abraham. It is unacceptable and every good and decent person must reject and resist Satan, who is the true deity of the Jews, Christians and Muslims, as their history of mass murder century after century has proved beyond doubt.
__________

Religion, the Koran, AK-47s and hand grenades:

In Somalia, a radio station run by an Islamist group ran a Koran-reciting and Islamic general knowledge contest.

1st Prize was $700 and an AK-47 assault rifle.
2nd Prize: $500 and an AK-47
3rd Prize: $400 and two hand grenades.

Who says Islam isn’t wedded to violence? Can you imagine the religion of the True God dispensing assault rifles and grenades to the “holiest” students? But the Devil’s religion would certainly issue as many deadly weapons as possible, wouldn’t it?
__________

Your Choice:

Abrahamists choose to define themselves as those who would willingly kill their own children if “God” ordered it. We define good, sane, rational human beings as those who would do the opposite. This is the most basic moral issue of all. Is taking an innocent life moral if the order comes from “God”? This, manifestly, is what Abraham concluded. He should instead have concluded that it could not be God that gave such an order and that taking the innocent life of children is prohibited in all circumstances and especially by the True God. Had Abraham been moral, we would have been spared the rule of Satan over our world. As it is, billions continue to follow Abraham’s evil example and fall on their knees to worship Satan – Allahu Akbar! Let there be no doubt: all Abrahamists are Satanists. They refuse to condemn Abraham’s evil choice to murder his son because a voice in his head ordered him to. They are therefore an extreme, murderous danger to the rest of humanity.
__________

The Unholy Trinity:

These are the three crosses upon which humanity has been crucified:

Abrahamism: the creed of the Terror God, the ultimate master torturing a slave population.

Karmic thinking: the nonsense that present woes are caused and are deserved by the sins of past lives.

Privilege: the division of humanity into the elite and all the rest.

We must pull out the nails and climb down from the crosses. It’s time to be FREE.

The Media:

Rupert Murdoch = the evil Emperor of the Evil Empire.

Murdoch and his ilk have created trash addicts, junk fiends and sleaze merchants. Murdoch, naturally, is a Christian. What else would you expect? He has been blessed by the Pope – no surprise there. What is the Vatican if not the Synagogue of Satan?

Rupert Murdoch, an Australian with American citizenship (that’s patriotic loyalty for you!), is the person responsible for the British national psyche of sleaze, trivia, and celebrity culture. He should be arrested and prosecuted for the damage he has done to Britain.

“When the going gets tough, the tough go shopping.” –anonymous. That’s consumerist Britain and the world at large for you.

British tabloid newspapers are notorious throughout the world. They are the gutter press. They are the voice of the sewer. Murdoch is their King Rat. Who will call in the rat catchers to purge us of this plague of vermin?

Where is our Pied Piper?

Never forget this – power lies in the PERCEPTION of power. To overcome the powerful you need only puncture the illusion they have created around themselves.
__________

The Light of Reason:

The three books: The God Factory, The God Game: How to Create the Universe and The Illuminated Soul set out the Logos basis of Illuminism, hence are what truly define the Illuminati and make it unique in world history. Illuminism is a religion based on zero “divine revelation”. Rather, it is constructed according to pure reason, and in fact pure mathematics since it is, ultimately, the statement that mathematics alone determines what can exist, what existent things can do, and how consciousness can comprehend the nature of reality. Mathematics is the basis of ontology and epistemology, and both are unified in mathematics. Existence and knowledge are, in a sense, the same thing. We can have true knowledge only of mathematical entities and only mathematical entities can exist, hence we can have absolute knowledge of everything, but only via the language of mathematics. Everything else is an approximation or mere opinion. Mathematics alone is a complete system of thought, of logic and reason, of right and wrong. Mathematics is infallible. If someone makes an error in mathematics, other mathematicians will soon reveal their mistake. Mathematics has no forgiveness or tolerance for error or opinion. There are no hiding places. “Faith” never comes into it. God is a mathematician, not someone who orders fathers to kill their sons. How can such a deed ever make any sense? Why would “God” want any father to be so slavishly obedient to him that he would slaughter his own son? Is that what “God” seeks – hordes of obedient son-murderers? What kind of God is that? It’s certainly not the True God, the mathematical God of Reason.

Many atheists consider Darwin’s theory of evolution the proof that God does not exist. On the contrary, evolution is the basis of God’s existence. God is not the creator of the universe but rather its ultimate outcome, the optimal expression of the inherent potential of the cosmos. He is the maximum actualization of possibility. Physicists say that anything not forbidden is compulsory. God is the compulsory apex of cosmic evolution.

Modern science has led to a complete loss of a religious sensibility in the Western world. Religious assertions increasingly sound crazy and ridiculous. The irony is that religion is ultimately scientific and mathematical. There is no contradiction between science and religion. It is not religion that is abolished by science but atheism.

Welcome to the world of the scientific, mathematical God of cosmic evolution. God not only exists, he is inevitable. And we can all become God – we can all understand EVERYTHING and have infinite power – via MATHEMATICS. Mathematics is the “Philosopher’s Stone”, the means by which we can alchemically transform base metal into gold.

Our Reward:

Our work [that of the authors of this series of books] has not gone unappreciated within the Illuminati. The Eighth Degree of the Illuminati (the first of the three Mystery Degrees) have unanimously voted to admit us to their ranks, and our formal initiation will be taking place shortly.

Moreover, the Grand Master has informed us that he wants us to be the official documenters of the Mystery Degrees of the Illuminati, although none of that work will ever be released into the public domain.
__________

The Restructuring of the Illuminati:

By the end of this year, all of the information provided to Illuminati members up to and including the Sixth Degree of the Illuminati will be in the public domain. As a consequence, the Grand Master of the Illuminati has announced a radical restructuring of the society.

From now on, the Illuminati will have five rather than ten degrees. The first six degrees have been rolled into a “public” degree – the first degree of the new structure. Anyone who has read all of this website and the additional books associated with it, and shares our general outlook and values, is entitled to the status of a First Degree Illuminatus. The existing membership of the first six degrees of the Illuminati have now all been promoted to the Seventh Degree, which is the Second (“private”) Degree of the new structure. The three Mystery Degrees remain as before and these, in essence, constitute the secret aspect of the Illuminati for the initiated only.

So, WELCOME TO THE ILLUMINATI! If you have got this far, you are now a First Degree member. Why don’t you work on your own bespoke version of Illuminism and create your own symbols, oaths and ceremonies? We will post the best ideas on our website next April.
__________

Pentagram:

The symbol of the new Illuminati is the pentagram, an ancient symbol revered by Pythagoras because it is full of linear relationships reflecting the golden ratio. The regular pentagram is shaped like a human being with a head, two outstretched arms and two legs. The head points to heaven.

The inverted pentagram has the head pointing downwards to hell. The suggestion is that the human spirit has become subservient to matter and is being dragged down into worldly corruption. The two pentagrams superimposed on one another produce the most special Pythagorean number – 10. They represent the dialectical conflict between man’s spiritual and material sides.
__________

What have we achieved?:

The information provided to the first six degrees of the Illuminati is designed to constitute a Grand Unified Theory of Everything. An entire analysis of all of the major religions of the world is provided, revealing their flaws and strengths (if they have any), so that all members are aware of what it is they are choosing to reject. Most followers of mainstream religions not only have no idea of other religions, they don’t even know anything about their own religion and follow it as a matter of culture, habit and brainwashing, not of knowledge. Their religious affiliations are therefore of zero worth.

We provide an analysis of all the major political systems of the world and show how they are all deficient in comparison with our political system – MERITOCRACY.

We provide an analysis of three economic systems: free-market capitalism, communism and National Socialism. The optimal economic system is a hybrid of these systems and we refer to it as social, public or meritocratic capitalism, which is subordinated to the requirements of the Meritocratic Constitution and not of free markets (which are invariably not free and are rigged by rich cartels).

We provide an in-depth psychological analysis of the world and explain why people behave as they do, and how their deficiencies can be remedied.

We provide a new model of society based on community rather than on the selfish family unit.

We provide a synthesis of philosophy, mathematics and science called mathematical idealism (or mathematical panpsychism), which provides the RATIONAL rather than faith-based foundation for religion. Illuminism is the world’s SOLE rational religion grounded in Logos rather than Mythos. Science – which is in fact mathematical materialism – is a subset of mathematical idealism. Science is nothing other than a version of Illuminism lacking the three most important numbers in the world: zero, infinity and the imaginary number. These three numbers are the ones that define time, mind, consciousness, the soul, the afterlife and God i.e. the primary concepts of religion are actually mathematical concepts. Anything that cannot be defined mathematically is meaningless. Mathematics alone provides Absolute Truth. Nothing else can. Nothing other than mathematics exists. Any philosophy, religion or science that does not invoke mathematics is bogus. Mathematics is the anchor of the universe.

Illuminism offers an entirely integrated and consistent worldview. It offers the world an optimal political, economic and psychological system, one capable of turning humans into Gods. It offers a rational religion that requires no faith and needs no Creator God to whom we are all enslaved. It guarantees a soul, an afterlife and the opportunity to become God on the basis of the only source of infallible truth – mathematics. It explains all paranormal phenomena mathematically. It explains time mathematically.

Illuminism is the explanation of EVERYTHING. It has attracted, in secret, many of the world’s finest minds who have worked on it patiently for millennia to bring it to its current omega state.

If you are looking for the truth – a truth that embraces religion – Illuminism is your only choice. Illuminism has no religious competitors. Its only opponent is atheistic scientific materialism, and that, ultimately, is seen to be a subset of Illuminism that suffers from a catastrophic misunderstanding of two numbers in particular – zero and infinity. Science cannot produce a Grand Unified Theory of Everything because it cannot handle zero and infinity in its equations. The last hope of scientific materialism – so-called M-theory – attempts to make it impossible for the number zero to exist. If zero doesn’t exist then division by zero can never take place and thus catastrophic infinities can never appear in the equations of science. There’s just one problem – why should nature allow all numbers other than zero to have an actual, real existence? How can you have a mathematical system lacking its origin? Mathematics without zero (hence also without its inverse, infinity) is what we describe as “incomplete”. The mathematics of Illuminism is based on COMPLETE MATHEMATICS. There are no missing numbers. Even the imaginary number is assigned ontological reality in Illuminism (the imaginary number frequently appears in science and engineering equations, but no one knows what it’s doing there and it’s regarded merely as a necessary instrument for getting the right answers). Whereas “real” numbers are the basis of space, “imaginary” numbers are the basis of time. What could be simpler?

The mathematical formalism of Illuminism addresses all of these mathematical issues in great detail.

Illuminism, when it becomes widely known, will sweep the world. Why? Because every single rational person on earth will embrace it. The whole scientific community will come onboard once they see that Illuminism is nothing but science with three numbers added: zero, infinity and the imaginary number; but these happen to be the most important numbers of all that address the BIG questions of existence. Scientists will see that Illuminism, not M-theory, is the true Grand Unified Theory of Everything because it is based on the only possible candidate for unifying ontology and epistemology: complete mathematics.

This is the gospel of the Illuminati.

Forum and Comments:

WE HAVE ADDED A BASIC FORUM and comments page to our website. Any trolls who wish to flame us, remember to leave your full name and address to make it easier for our field operatives to track you down.

To all Abrahamists, you are the damned and if there were a hell, you’d certainly be going there. In fact, you’re already there – because your own thoughts must be hell. To all conspiracy theorists, you’re nuts and retards. WE ARE THE LIZARD KINGS – and if you oppose us, we will pan-dimensionally come to your house and make your existence hell on earth. Moreover, we will send aliens from Nibiru to give you anal probes! (Then again, perhaps not – you’d enjoy it too much.) If you’re a hippie, a flower power person, a New Ager, a member of the “Love Brigade” and so on, go and buy books on Fourier analysis, quantum mechanics, relativity theory and Leibnizian Monadology i.e. enter the world of reason and stop being such emotional, sentimental babies. You’re not five years old. This is the REAL WORLD.

To all the fantasists, please go straight to David Icke’s website without passing Go. There’s nothing for you to see here. If you have something meaningful to say, say it meaningfully. Use proper grammar, use a spellchecker, reflect on what you’re about to say, polish it until it shines and then post it. Make it a thing of quality. Given that ours is a high quality website, we don’t want it contaminated by junk, drivel, rubbish, deranged rantings and moronic observations. Think before you post. Be a high quality person. Posterity will judge your efforts! Don’t be cheap, pathetic and a jerk.

Are we clear? So, let the SHITSTORM be unleashed! Trolls will come from far and wide to attack the Illuminati’s website. Did you know that many trolls are undiagnosed autistics?

Magus?:

Apparently, a number of people are now claiming to be Magus. Firstly, “Magus” is three people, not one. Secondly, why would members of a secret society reveal their identity? It defeats the purpose, does it not?

There’s endless nonsense on the internet about our website. From time to time, we look at the absurd comments, hypotheses and conjectures and have a good laugh.

Someone “definitively” stated that Amada Crowley, the alleged illegitimate son of Aleister Crowley, composed the site. That would be a neat trick given that he’s dead! Then again, no one ever truly dies in conspiracy land. Or perhaps we are experts in necromancy and we have summoned him from the dead to guide us. Or perhaps we are the loyal followers of Amado. In fact, we’d never even heard of him until we were presented with the “proof” that we were in fact him. We must be in extremely severe denial.

Almost everything you read about our site elsewhere will be preposterous beyond words. We’ve never come across anyone with any interesting analysis.

Amusingly, or extremely worryingly, there are numerous conspiracy theories about this website that are almost as ridiculous as some of the 9/11 stuff.

Wenger:

Arsene Wenger, the erudite French manager of Arsenal Football Club in London, has an economics degree from the University of Strasbourg. On 12 September 2011, he said, “I am convinced that Europe will go into a huge financial crisis within the next three weeks, or three months, and maybe that will put everything into perspective again. Football is not untouchable. We live by people going to the stadiums and from [sponsors] advertising to people who buy products. All our income could be a little bit under threat in the next few months.”

Wenger may well be right. A catastrophe may engulf Europe very shortly, and it will bring down America with it, and the whole global economy.

The bankrupt banks of the West were bailed out by transferring their debts to nation-states. But the nation-states are now bankrupt and can’t service their debts. Greece, in particular, can no longer meet its financial obligations and will default on important payments. At that point, the Euro currency may collapse. If the Euro goes down, it’s possible and even probable that the world economy will go down with it.
__________

The Ruling Council:

The twelve members of the Ruling Council of the Illuminati have now divided into six groups of two. They have gone to six European countries: Greece, Portugal, Spain, France, Italy and the UK. The last in the list is deemed to be the nation that most resembles France of 1789.

Will the British Revolution join the Russian, French and American Revolutions in the annals of history? Watch this space.

The world economic meltdown could happen at almost any time, and this time, unlike in 2007/08, people will know that things aren’t going to get any better. Western capitalism is in a terminal condition. Where is the priest to deliver the last rites?

The Illuminati:

WE ARE THE NEW PEOPLE, THE NEW HUMANITY.

WE ARE THE REBELLION. WE ARE THE REVOLT. WE ARE THE LIBERATION.

WE ARE THE HERALDS OF THE FINAL WAR OF HUMAN FREEDOM.

We are the advocates of THEOGENESIS – the birth and growth of Gods.

The Illuminati were the leaders of the First Enlightenment, but final victory was not secured. So now it’s time for the Second Enlightenment, the War of Reason versus Faith, and this time complete victory must be achieved. This time the process must go all the way. Abrahamism and privilege must be eradicated from our world. It’s time to bring the light to all the dark corners of the world. This is our declaration of war on all the forces of endarkenment. This is our declaration of independence. This is our charter of freedom.

A New Humanity. A New Direction. An equal chance for everyone.

We will create our own Eden and our own Tree of Knowledge, from which everyone will eat without fear. We will have a Tree of Life that invigorates everyone.

Revalue all values. Start again. Build paradise. No monarchs, no popes, no preachers, no prophets, no princes, no privileged elites.

We are the Plan. We are the Answer. Join the Resistance. Change the world.

We are the Illuminati. And this has been our gospel.

Education versus Indoctrination.

Most people in the world aren’t educated. Rather, they are indoctrinated with ridiculous dogmas. Look at Muslims. They are remarkably stupid because of Koranic brainwashing.

Muslims have been conditioned to be deferential. They are terrified of being individuals, of speaking out against nonsense. There are many atheists and skeptics in the Christian West. Why is there no tradition of atheism and skepticism in the Islamic world? It’s because there was no Islamic Enlightenment, nothing to counteract the Koranic brainwashing. Muslims have rendered themselves subhuman because they have allowed themselves to be terrified into believing the most embarrassing hogwash conceivable. Anyone who rejects reason relegates themselves to the domain of animals – the less than human – and we shouldn’t be afraid to say so. The world has pandered to the stupid for far too long. Did you know that the Koran actually teaches that the Earth is flat? It must be right. After all, “God” wrote it and he created the world. Yeah, right!!! Just how dumb would you have to be to think the Koran said even one true thing? Only a complete failure of reason would stop you from laughing out loud as you read page after page about camels and goats and making sure you wipe your ass with your left hand.

A Muslim woman said that Muslim men must have a beard because “it’s in the Koran.” Why doesn’t such a woman ever stop to wonder why the alleged Creator of the Universe would be interested in the facial hair of men? Is bushiness of beard the measure of holiness? But, of course, Mohammed – a bearded man seeking to impose a visual brand on his followers to distinguish them from clean-shaven pagans – would be extremely keen to claim that God demanded that men have beards. Are all clean-shaven men to go to hell? What, for not having a fucking beard?!!!

“Holy texts” set themselves against reason and knowledge. Such texts are incompatible with education. In any nation that values education, “holy texts” must be rejected. They should be banned from schools. They should actually be thrown on ceremonial pyres designed to consign ignorance to the flames forever.

Reason versus Love.

Forget love. It’s reason that the world is short of and reason that will propel the world forward. The Enlightenment wasn’t about love but about reason. Love is an emotion and we have to escape excess emotionalism if we’re to have a rational society.

All the new age, hippie rhetoric about love is nauseating and reveals a deep hatred of reason and intellect. Love is a quality most often trumpeted by stupid people, incapable of any hard analysis of the world. They think that love = peace = harmony = perfect world. In fact, love = hate = division = conflict = war = violence = greed = narcissism = egotism = selfishness = privilege = everything that’s wrong with the world. For “love” to have any meaning, it must be involved with a judgment that one thing (the loved thing) is better than another (the unloved thing), and the rejected thing then becomes “other”, an object of hatred. Hitler loved Germany, so he hated Germany’s perceived enemy – the Jews. The Jews love their God, so they hate everyone who does not. Privileged families love themselves and hate non-privileged families. Love AUTOMATICALLY summons hate, hence is a catastrophe. When are people going to wake up to the horrific truth of “love”?

Reason, not love, is our salvation. Reason is emotionally neutral and objective. Love is entirely subjective.

Mythos versus Logos.

Love goes hand in hand with Mythos-thinking while reason is the core of Logos-thinking. Mythos is all about emotions, stories, parables, fables, delusions, wishful thinking, while Logos is about rationality, logic, analysis, facts, evidence.

The great divide in our world is between Mythos and Logos and, if we apply the commonly quoted “80/20” rule, we can assert that 80% of the world are Mythos thinkers who are attracted to simplistic, stupid religions that provide emotional comfort and facile, false “certainty”. The Enlightenment was about the rise of Logos. At best, 20% of the world are Logos thinkers and they are responsible for 80% or more of the advances of the human race.

In other words, we have a disastrous imbalance of Mythos and Logos thinking. Mythos has a place, but it ought to be subordinated to Logos. The division between science and religion is the division between Logos and Mythos, and there can be no question that science has proved enormously more beneficial to humanity than religion. Anyone capable of rational analysis would conclude that religion has had nothing but malign consequences for humanity, while science has showered humanity with gifts. So why do all governments still relentlessly favour Mythos over Logos?

Logos must be given pride of place and Mythos exposed for what it is – the inferior partner that should be ignored when anything serious is being discussed. Mythos should be what guides us when we are at play, and Logos when we are at work.

Mythos is subjective, crazy nonsense, albeit emotionally seductive, while Logos delivers real, meaningful, objective progress according to methods and evidence.

All schools should be compelled by law to enshrine the supremacy of Logos over Mythos. Consider the Creationism versus Science debate. Creationism is pure Mythos and asserts that something is true because an old book says so, without a single fact, mathematical equation, scientific theory or any evidence at all, while science provides facts, evidence, sophisticated theories that explain all manner of phenomena, a detailed intellectual and rational framework, and an objective view completely divorced from a subjective book produced by ancient, scientifically illiterate Jews. How can there be any debate at all about which provides the right approach and the infinitely more plausible solution?

It’s insane to try to use Mythos against Logos. There can only be one rational winner. Unfortunately, people aren’t rational. Look at Islam with its fanatical adherence to the ludicrous Koran – pure Mythos. Is there such a thing as an intelligent Muslim? How can anyone who believes even one word of the Koran be intelligent? It’s a contradiction in terms. It contains not one reference to Logos thinking. But stupid, superstitious, emotional people of faith “understand” the Koran (because it’s so simplistic) and are clueless if they pick up a book on mathematics, philosophy or science. Doesn’t that say everything?

Creationists tried to have the teaching of evolution banned from schools. It ought to be the other way around. Any anti-scientific claims to truth should be prevented from being taught in schools. How else will we produce rational people unless we teach them rationally?

Serving God versus Becoming God.

Humanity’s relationship with God is paramount and shapes our collective destiny. If we serve God then he is our master and we are his slaves. We are expected to be on our knees to him. Our duty is to obey him, regardless of what he says or does. Even if he orders a father to kill his son – a psychotic order – Abrahamists will willingly obey because they are servile, brainwashed automata who have no personal concept of good and evil. Why didn’t “God” want people to eat of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil – because then they would conclude that he was evil (as his infinite cruelty and violence have demonstrated all too clearly to any rational person who has taken the trouble to read the grotesque and nauseating Old Testament).

Everything changes if you are Becoming God rather than serving God. Then you can make up your mind about good and evil. You can get off your knees and stand on your feet. You have no respect for those false gods – monarchs, popes, preachers, prophets, the super rich, the privileged elites – who claim to be God’s voice on earth.

The world has a clear choice: a master-slave model such as the Old World Order has always implemented, or a meritocratic model where anyone from any background can rise as high as their talents permit and no permanent master class and slave underclass are ever allowed to form. This is the basis of the Illuminati’s New World Order.

We must never again be slaves of God. We must have a contract/covenant with God whereby we tell him what we expect of HIM. It’s not for him to dictate to us. We will create Gods in our own image. They must serve our interests, not we theirs. We are all becoming God, so we need bow to no one. God is our guide, our exemplar, the light that shows us the way to join him. God is never a tyrant over us, demanding that we worship him and get on our knees and avert our eyes.

Tradition-, Other- and Inner-directedness versus Autonomy.

Has your life been dictated by an ancient religious book, community elders with long beards and an insular, ghetto community where everyone knows what’s expected of them and everyone knows everyone else’s business? Then you are tradition-directed.

Has your life been dominated by your peer group? You’re terrified of being disliked, ostracised, different from everyone else. You follow whatever fashion your peers follow, whether you like it or not. You’re terrified of telling them to fuck off and doing your own thing. Then you’re other-directed.

Has your life been lived in your parents’ shadow? Are you a clone of them? Do you share all of the same values? Then you’re inner-directed, driven by the deep values your parents have instilled in you. You will stand up to traditions and peers if they contradict your inner value system. But these are not actually your own values. They have been chosen FOR you, not BY you.

It’s wrong for anyone to be controlled by traditions, peers or parents. The State must be committed to producing AUTONOMOUS individuals who are self-defining and self-creating. What this means in practice is that the State education system should provide a wide range of ways of approaching life, and children should choose whatever makes most sense to them and is most compatible with their nature, character and personality. They become true individuals who have chosen the type of person they are going to be, not had it imposed on them by others. Autonomy is the essence of freedom. Free people will never be slaves. They will be natural meritocrats.

Materialism versus Spirituality.

The capitalist world is one of objects. People themselves are objectified. The acquisition of objects is the highest good in our society and your status is dependent on how highly others value the objects you own. This system is spiritually dead. It creates soulless zombies in shopping malls, aimlessly shuffling from one purchase to the next in a conveyer-belt process that never ends. You can never have enough objects. You will always need the latest upgrade, the latest fashion, the highest status objects – and these are permanently changing. There is no endpoint, but when your personal end comes (your death), all you have to show for it is a lot of junk that your relatives then consign to the garbage dump. And that metaphorically and even literally is what became of your life on earth – it joined the rest of the garbage. Is that how you want to live your life?

The State must introduce spirituality into our lives, not via master-slaves religions but through the aspiration that all of us are engaged in a sublime project to create a Community of Gods, a Society of the Divine. The pursuit of our own perfection will ensure we never become trapped in the status game, objectified, defined by our possessions rather than who we really are.

Children versus Parents.

Parents are often deemed to have absolute rights over their children, to the extent that parents are allowed to cut off the foreskin of an 8-day old baby boy without a single voice of protest being raised. The parents’ belief system literally has an effect on the little boy’s bodily integrity.

He is parentally “branded”. He had no say in at all. His consent was neither sought nor required. His parents were treating him as an object, a slave, a thing to which they could do anything they liked.

Is that acceptable? Isn’t it the worst thing imaginable? The function of parents is to love, nurture and support their children, it’s not to impose their own beliefs on them. If we genuinely say we are advocates of freedom, how can we let children be the slaves of their parents? Every baby is embraced by freedom the moment they are born. No major decision can be taken about their future without their consent. The function of parents and the State is to provide children with a framework that keeps all options open until the child is mature enough to make his own free choices.

Eros versus Thanatos.

Eros is the principle of life, energy, growth, vitality and an ascending trajectory while Thanatos is the principle of death, decay, degeneration, depression and a descending trajectory. Our world is full of Thanatos forces. Abrahamism – with its obsession with hell – is nothing but death. Capitalism – the cult of the object that even turns people into objects – is pure death. The privileged elite who reduce everyone else to mere bystanders, spectators and non-persons is the gospel of death.

“Pascal’s wager” probably encapsulates the cult of death better than anything else. The wager is this: 1) if God exists and you obey his laws, you will achieve the maximum possible gain (eternal joy in heaven) while if he doesn’t exist your maximum loss will be your opportunity to live as you like on earth and 2) if God exists and you don’t obey his laws you will achieve the maximum loss (eternal pain in hell) and if he doesn’t exist your maximum gain will be that you can do whatever you like with your mortal life on earth.

Pascal thought it was a no-brainer that you should rationally wager on God’s existence because your potential loss is so great if God exists but you act as though he doesn’t, and your potential gain isn’t all that much if he doesn’t in fact exist and you choose to do whatever you want. But the wager is much more complex than Pascal seemed to think. If there is no afterlife then, if you obey some book of lies, you have thrown away the only life you will ever have. This is an infinite loss since you will never again get a chance to live.

Moreover, if “God” is an entirely different type of being from the one Pascal envisaged then it’s possible you are sentencing yourself to eternal pain by NOT living life as fully as you can. What if God punishes those who chose to believe lies rather than live life?

What if you can become God only by living a succession of great lives where you are true to yourself and not to some ancient book of revelation?

The entire basis of Pascal’s wager is terror. This was a man who was petrified of God, the afterlife and indeed of life itself. Who wants to sign up to a wager of fear? Is that rational? Abrahamism functions entirely on this basis. It makes you afraid to live. In drowns you in the darkness of Thanatos.

All gospels of fear, terror and death must be INFINITELY rejected. They are an insult to life, just as Pascal himself was.

Nietzsche wrote of the “depraving of Pascal, who believed his reason had been depraved by original sin while it had only been depraved by his Christianity!” and described him as “the most instructive of all sacrifices to Christianity.”

Positive Liberty versus Negative Liberty.

Negative liberty is about being free FROM. Positive liberty is about being free FOR. Negative liberty is associated with right wing distrust of the “big State”; the State should exert minimal interference in people’s lives. The self-interested, self-absorbed, selfish family is the essence of negative liberty.

Positive liberty is associated with grand transformative projects to create a new type of human being. Ancient Athens, Sparta, Rome, the French Revolution, Nazism and Communism were all positive liberty initiatives. The family is often distrusted by positive liberty States, being viewed as a divisive and subversive element within the State that seeks its own advantage rather than the advantage of all. Whereas the positive liberty State is concerned with what Jean-Jacques Rousseau called the “General Will”, the negative liberty State focuses on the particular wills of families, sectional groups and institutions. Negative liberty plays the “divide and rule” game. Different interest groups are played off against one another and a stable Game Theory solution is sought. Negative liberty is not unlike the “MAD” (Mutually Assured Destruction) Cold War between America and the Soviet Union. All groups in the State are regarded as selfish units relentlessly pursuing their own self-interest. Just as Adam Smith spoke of an “invisible hand” guiding free market economics to arrive at reasonably stable solution, so the negative liberty doctrine assumes that a similar invisible hand brings all of the competing, selfish entities within society to a stable equilibrium. This is a dog-eat-dog world full of suspicion, selfishness and obsession with status.

The positive liberty doctrine considers it impossible for society to be healthy if groups are continually at each other’s throats. Positive liberty States are obsessed with unity rather than the cutthroat diversity and division of negative liberty States. Positive liberty States can lead to dangerous conformity while negative liberty States generate toxic alienation and distrust between people.

What the Illuminati advocate is communitarian, autonomous, meritocratic positive liberty. Individuals should be fundamentally independently minded and autonomous, but they should rationally understand that a community where everyone seeks to help each other is infinitely stronger than one where everyone is out to put everyone else down and to create a competitive advantage. Meritocracy is a natural partner of autonomous positive liberty whereas privilege goes hand in hand with negative liberty.

Religious Truth versus the Real Truth.

Mainstream religions promise the “truth” to everyone, which is one reason they are so successful. But what if the truth is a function of intelligence? Then the most intelligent can have access to truths denied to stupid people.

How many people can understand Einstein’s theories? Well, if Einstein has discovered real truths, these are not truths that ordinary people will ever grasp, right? Why should truth be open to everyone? Is genius? There is no prima facie reason why truth should be “democratic”. And, if it isn’t, some people will inhabit the world of truth much more meaningfully than others.

Hegel was of the opinion that only the philosophically minded had access to the highest truths. He regarded art and religion as ways by which non-philosophers could achieve some contact with the truth, but at a simplistic level in comparison with philosophy.

Can you imagine any religion telling the truth about truth? – i.e. that it is completely false to assert that truth is equally available to everyone.

Control versus Freedom.

The elite of society are terrified of losing everything, as in the French Revolution. They are therefore obsessed with control. Religious leaders are obsessed with control, as are business leaders, political leaders, leaders of all institutions. Those at the top are terrified of losing control. So they build control into everything. Stifling, authoritarian hierarchies are everywhere.

Isn’t it time for freedom? A world of autonomous individuals would not be one in which those individuals would tolerate being controlled. We have to get to the state where no one is controlled and groups of people come together cooperatively to achieve common goals. The most meritorious people for each task will take charge since that’s the rational thing to do, but, as the tasks change, so will those who are most meritocratic.

Wolves versus Dogs.

Dogs are tame wolves. They were bred for tameness so that they could be controlled and managed. We have to move away from the world of dogs and wolves. There’s no place for rigid systems of control and hordes of docile, sedated, tame and timid workers.

The autonomous individual is never a tame dog, nor is he a wolf praying on others.

It’s well known that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Hasn’t that been proved endless times? So there must be clear limits on power, and above all that means restricting the amount of money anyone can have. Money = power so no one can be allowed to have too much money.

The powerful have always abused their power and that abuse must be stopped by law.

Quality versus Quantity.

Capitalism is all about quantity. What price? What profit? How many units sold? What cost? How many employees? And so on.

We should be moving instead to a world of quality. If an activity does not raise the quality of the human race, it should be illegal. How will we make a better world if we don’t have higher quality people?

Meritocracy is about quality (what are your qualifications) while democracy is mere quantity (a head count). It’s impossible for democracy to improve the quality of the human race for the simple reason that democracy makes no reference at all to quality. It simply doesn’t enter into the democratic ideology. Meritocracy is purely about quality and only via meritocracy will human beings be turned first into supermen and superwomen and finally into Gods and Goddesses.

******

These are all the individual battles that must be fought and won to bring the Great War of Enlightenment to its end. The capitalists, the Abrahamists and the karmists are the forces of darkness. They are on the side of superstition, faith, greed, irrationality, privilege and submission to God. The Gnostics, the Agnostics, the Atheists and the Skeptics are the forces of light. They are on the side of knowledge, reason, altruism, meritocracy, art, science, mathematics, philosophy, psychology and freedom.

The individual battlegrounds have many common themes. Ultimately, they all revolve around reason, freedom and quality. Enlightenment is fundamentally about using rational means to generate the highest quality, free, autonomous individuals.

Humanity, if it is to take a divine leap forward, must prove that it has learned from the past. It can do so only by erasing most of the past. It’s a monumental and breathtaking disgrace that the deranged beliefs of ancient Jews still infect billions of people in the 21st century. How can any sane person in this day and age believe that the Creator of the Universe ordered a father to make a human sacrifice of his own son in order to test his obedience? Note that no one ever considers the psychological damage to Abraham’s son who knew for a fact that his own father was prepared to murder him in the name of God. There was no moral dimension at all to God’s deadly order, only an immoral one. It was an order of pure, Satanic evil and anyone who tries to defend it simply shows himself to be as evil as his master.

The sole purpose of God’s order was to establish an absolute and permanent relationship of master and slave between humanity and himself. All human beings must obey him without question, even if it means killing their children. You would need to be mentally fucked beyond repair to have anything but revulsion towards Abraham’s “God”. He is not God but the Devil. We can eradicate the Devil’s power over us by eradicating Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The Nazis spoke of the Final Solution and there does indeed need to be a final reckoning of the Abrahamic question. Humanity is finished unless it slays Abrahamism once and for all. The long overdue death of Abrahamism is the sine qua non for human freedom. It ought to have died out when it was categorically refuted by science, but, being irrational, it has proved immune to facts, evidence, logic and reason. That’s exactly why it’s so evil and dangerous. You can’t negotiate with Abrahamists. You can’t rationally disprove their beliefs, not because of any problem with your disproof but because they fundamentally reject rational discourse and they won’t listen to you i.e. they have abolished the tool that proves that they are wrong. They are beyond help.

Who are the Abrahamists? – they are irrational, superstitious morons who believe in disproven, toxic nonsense. They stand fully opposed to science, mathematics and philosophy. The Enlightenment was all about overcoming Abrahamism. All Abrahamists are enemies of the Enlightenment. There is not one, good, decent, intelligent Abrahamist. They are all ineradicably evil. They are depraved enemies of humanity. The only good Abrahamist is, ultimately, a dead Abrahamist (and if that sounds callous, remember that these people have always happily exterminated anyone who chooses not to share their belief in their Torture God). Abrahamists corrupt and degrade our world and infect it with unreason. Abrahamism has been the most grotesque curse on humanity, the channel by which Satan has seized control of our world. Abrahamism must perish. It has nothing at all to offer the human race. It is the gospel of the slave, of all those who despise reason and freedom.

Only those individuals who are prepared to eat of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil are conscious human beings. All of the rest are the damned. The greatest metaphorical act in human history was when the first woman ate the Eden apple. That act, far from being the original sin, was the first act of human consciousness, the first proof that humans themselves could be Gods. It was also a declaration of war on “God” – the false God, the Demiurge, the Jewish God, the God of divine master and human slave. How much better this world would have been if not one Jew had ever appeared in this world, if Abraham had rejected the Satan that ordered him to kill his son. The essence of Judaism and Abrahamism is that if a voice in your head tells you to kill your own flesh and blood you will do so without question. All of the psychopathic behaviour of Abrahamists down the ages stems from the JEWISH principle that humans must obey God no matter what. That is the sole Jewish “contribution” to the world – the doctrine that we must be God’s slaves. The Muslims have embraced the doctrine even more thoroughly and call their religion SUBMISSION. Be in no doubt, the only true religion is Illumination, the religion of FREEDOM.

The Jews infected the world with the master-slave ideology. They are to blame for the malignant history of the world and that fact must be unambiguously acknowledged before humanity can move on. All gospels of human enslavement to God must be repudiated. The only gospel that should be heard in the world is that of freedom.

EVERYTHING stems from this conflict between slavery and freedom. The slave religions place faith and obedience above all else. Illumination, the religion of freedom, places reason, knowledge and logic above all else – because these are the instruments of freedom and consciousness. The Enlightenment was all about how to increase reason and freedom at the expense of faith and slavery. But victory has not been achieved. An uneasy standoff now prevails, but the slave religions are continuing to grow at an alarming pace in the Third World amongst the legions of the illiterate and superstitious. The Great War of Enlightenment must now be decisively and definitely won. The Jewish crime against the world must be erased. Had their doctrine of slavery to God never been born, humanity could now be living in Paradise. Their doctrine of slavery to God soon enough gave rise to slavery to Man, in the shape of privileged elites who proclaimed that their right to rule was God-given. To resist being their slaves amounted to defiance of God himself, a crime worthy of eternal hellfire. This terrifying ideology has shaped our world ever since. The interests of Abrahamism and the Old World Order coincide perfectly. They are both all about human slavery.

Nothing has damaged the world more than the beliefs of the Jews. Israel’s two bastard children – Christianity and Islam – have trebled the catastrophe. The greatest tragedy of human history is that the ancient Greek pagans – perhaps the greatest human beings of them all; Pythagoras in particular – faded into oblivion and had to watch from the shadows while the insane Jews captured the world with their Torture God of heaven and hell. The Jews brought TERROR into our world, and it has never left us. Terror must be removed and that means removing Abrahamism. Now it will not be Isaac or Ishmael lying on the sacrificial slab but the Devil-God of Abraham himself, getting what he fully deserves. For his infinite crimes against humanity, he deserves no mercy and he shall get none. His name is LEGION, for his atrocities are countless. This monster, this beast, exterminated the whole human race apart from Noah in his Ark. Now humanity must take its revenge against the cosmic murderer and terrorist. This is the “God” of the Inquisition, of the witch burnings, of the extermination of the Gnostic Cathars, of holy war and jihad, of 9/11. “God” flew the planes into the twin towers, no one else. Now he must perish once and for all. He is the ultimate enemy of the people, humanity’s torturer who has held us against our will in the darkest torture chamber in existence – hell itself.

The Armageddon Conspiracy by Mike Hockney was all about the Illuminati’s ancient plot to kill this monster-God.

How dare any Abrahamist or capitalist stand in our way. How dare they defend their Satanic Lord. The barbarians must be destroyed. The damned must reap their just desserts. The Devil-God of Abrahamism must be eliminated. The Old World Order must fall.

This is the Illuminati’s State of the Union address. This is the Illuminati’s blueprint for a New World Order. This is the Illuminati’s Declaration of War.

You are all called as soldiers to this war. This is the war of the Second Enlightenment. The purpose of the First Enlightenment was to end privilege (monarchy) and faith (Christianity). There was a modicum of success, but the privileged and faithful are still with us. Many who claim to be enlightened are not enlightened at all. How can any enlightened person be a Christian, Jew or Muslim? The agenda of these ancient, decrepit systems of superstition were the central target of the Enlightenment. These religions remain as benighted as ever. They have no connection with reason, knowledge and plausibility. We always feel embarrassed on behalf of academics when they proclaim themselves “believers”. And we always think they should be fired. How can people of faith be allowed to remain in institutions of reason? It’s absurd. Luther was exactly right when he said that reason was faith’s deadliest enemy. So how can any person claiming to be rational also declare himself a believer? They might as well believe in elves at the bottom of the garden.

Destroy the pillars of faith. Topple the towers of ignorance. Burn down the synagogues of superstition.

DELENDA EST CARTHAGO!

The Lawgivers:

SOLON (638 – 558 BCE) WAS AN ATHENIAN STATESMAN credited with laying the foundations for democracy – its first tentative appearance in world history. Cleisthenes (570 – 507 BCE) later carried forward Solon’s work and earned the title of “the father of Athenian democracy” by introducing democracy proper.

Lycurgus (800 – 730 BCE) was the lawgiver of Sparta who established the famous military orientation of Spartan society based on the three Spartan virtues of equality, military fitness and austerity. Community rather than family was the bedrock of the Spartan State, with all of the men living in barracks. All seven-year-old boys were removed from home and placed in the equivalent of a military academy. Family life was entirely subordinated to the needs of the military State.

******

There is no more important person in any State than the Lawgiver. Solon brought an end to the worst abuses of the aristocratic families of Athens and ushered in the prototype of the new age of democracy, which Cleisthenes was later to shape into full democracy. In Sparta, Lycurgus also curtailed the influence of the family and produced a State based on the concept of the Band of Brothers (and Sisters – Spartan women were radically different from the women of the rest of Greece, being far more active, liberated and independent). The Spartans became one of the most brilliant fighting forces in world history despite never having a particularly large army, given that Spartan citizens were never numerous. One Spartan soldier was so well trained and effective as to be worth around ten of the soldiers of a rival army.

The Spartans were different from the Athenians not because Spartans and Athenians were different types of human being but because the laws under which they were governed produced citizens with profoundly different strengths, aptitudes, qualities and character. LAWS CREATE PEOPLE. Good laws produce good citizens; stupid laws create stupid people. Getting its laws right is a State’s most important task, yet most States are preoccupied with how to establish the set of laws most favourable to the privileged elite.

The laws of the Athenians produced constant debate between the citizens because Athens was a direct, active democracy (unlike the indirect, passive democracies of the modern age). Athenians were argumentative (dialectical) and this trait gave rise to great intellectuals and a wondrous culture. The Spartans, on the other hand, were highly disciplined and obedient to their leaders and thus perfect soldiers. Their respective qualities weren’t inborn in the Athenians or Spartans. They were the outcome of the laws used to mould them. (Similarly, religious leaders such as Moses, Buddha, Jesus Christ, St Paul, St Augustine, Mohammed and Luther were all lawgivers, whose laws created characteristic people. Look at modern Muslims with their robotic behaviour and their refusal to challenge the Koran and thus become rational, freethinkers. It was Mohammed and the Koran that made them into stupid, submissive sheeple; the clue is in the name of the religion – Islam MEANS “submission”, and it produces brainwashed, submissive people.)

In exactly the same way, modern lawgivers can lay down laws that will give rise to perfect human beings, to supermen and superwomen. All we need to do is rationally construct laws, using all of the lessons we have learned from human history, to achieve the goal we desire – the birth of the HyperHuman: the strong-willed, self-creating, self-defining, independent, autonomous individual who bends the knee to no one, who has the highest possible self- confidence and self-esteem and knows he will become everything he has it within him to be.

If you were the 21st century Solon or Lycurgus, what laws would you give to the world to shape the perfect human race? That is what you ought to be contemplating, not conspiracy theories, mystical hogwash and new age, lovey dovey bullshit.

Plutarch provides an account of the reforms carried out by Lycurgus to make it the famous city-state it became. Some of the highlights are shown below, including 1) the redistribution of land, 2) making money so heavy and cumbersome that it was hard to use and entirely obvious how much of it people had (and easy to detect any corrupt transactions) 3) communal eating and 4) creating a happy, united and virtuous people:

******

8) A second, and a very bold political measure of Lycurgus, is his redistribution of the land. For there was a dreadful inequality in this regard, the city was heavily burdened with indigent and helpless people, and wealth was wholly concentrated in the hands of a few. Determined, therefore, to banish insolence and envy and crime and luxury, and those yet more deep-seated and afflictive diseases of the state, poverty and wealth, he persuaded his fellow-citizens to make one parcel of all their territory and divide it up anew, and to live with one another on a basis of entire uniformity and equality in the means of subsistence, seeking pre-eminence through virtue alone, assured that there was no other difference or inequality between man and man than that which was established by blame for base actions and praise for good ones.

9) Next, he undertook to divide up their movable property also, in order that every vestige of unevenness and inequality might be removed; and when he saw that they could not bear to have it taken from them directly, he took another course, and overcame their avarice by political devices. In the first place, he withdrew all gold and silver money from currency, and ordained the use of iron money only. Then to a great weight and mass of this he gave a trifling value, so that ten minas’ worth required a large storeroom in the house, and a yoke of cattle to transport it. When this money obtained currency, many sorts of iniquity went into exile from Lacedaemon. For who would steal, or receive as a bribe, or rob, or plunder that which could neither be concealed, nor possessed with satisfaction, nay, nor even cut to pieces with any profit? For vinegar was used, as we are told, to quench the red-hot iron, robbing it of its temper and making it worthless for any other purpose, when once it had become brittle and hard to work.

10) With a view to attack luxury still more and remove the thirst for wealth, he introduced his third and most exquisite political device, namely, the institution of common messes, so that they might eat with one another in companies, of common and specified foods, and not take their meals at home, reclining on costly couches at costly tables, delivering themselves into the hands of servants and cooks to be fattened in the dark, like voracious animals, and ruining not only their characters but also their bodies, by surrendering them to every desire and all sorts of surfeit, which call for long sleeps, hot baths, abundant rest, and, as it were, daily nursing and tending. This was surely a great achievement, but it was a still greater one to make wealth “an object of no desire,” as Theophrastus says, and even ‘unwealth,’ by this community of meals and simplicity of diet.

31) It was not, however, the chief design of Lycurgus then to leave his city in command over a great many others, but he thought that the happiness of an entire city, like that of a single individual, depended on the prevalence of virtue and concord within its own borders. The aim, therefore, of all his arrangements and adjustments was to make his people free-minded, self- sufficing, and moderate in all their ways, and to keep them so as long as possible. His design for a civil polity was adopted by Plato, Diogenes, Zeno, and by all those who have won approval for their treatises on the subject, although they left behind them only writings and words. Lycurgus, on the other hand, produced not only writings and words, but an actual polity which was beyond imitation, and because he gave, to those who maintain that the much talked of natural disposition to wisdom exists only in theory, an example of an entire city given to the love of wisdom, his family rightly transcended that of all who ever founded polities among the Greeks. Therefore Aristotle says that the honours paid him in Sparta were less than he deserved, although he enjoys the highest honours there. For he has a temple, and sacrifices are offered to him yearly as to a god. It is also said that when his remains were brought home, his tomb was struck by lightning, and that this hardly happened to any other eminent man after him except Euripides, who died and was buried at Arethusa in Macedonia. The lovers of Euripides therefore regard it as a great testimony in his favour that he alone experienced after death what had earlier befallen a man who was most holy and beloved of the gods.

REASON is humanity’s salvation. Reason allows us to construct rational laws that will transform the human condition. Reason allows us to escape the past, to escape false Gods and stupid beliefs. Our future is inextricably linked to reason and if we turn our back on reason we are finished.

We must turn to Lawgivers who will provide us with a constitution that enshrines reason as the highest good and the central axis of the State. Anything that subverts reason should be outlawed. In particular, that means that no religions of faith should be permitted in a rational State. What do the superstitious, irrational religions have to offer the world? – nothing at all!

The Elite’s “Justice”:

Plato in The Republic reported that Thrasymachus, a sophist and orator, declared that justice, or right, is simply what is in the best interest of the stronger party: justice is simply a code of behaviour imposed on men by their rulers. In other words, might is right.

This is the underlying basis of the elite’s approach to justice. It is whatever suits their interests. It has zero connection with anything else.
__________

Political Degeneration:

Ancient Greece city-states were governed according to three basic models. Each of these models had an optimal condition and a dangerous condition into which it typically degenerated:

Autocracy – rule by one person e.g. a king; it degenerated into Tyranny.

Aristocracy – rule by the “best” people; it degenerated into Oligarchy and Plutocracy.

Democracy – rule by the ordinary people; it degenerated into Ochlocracy (mob rule).

What is Meritocracy? It’s a modern version of ancient aristocracy. It seeks to identify the best people to run the State. To avoid any slide into plutocracy, it prohibits inheritance and prevents anyone from becoming excessively wealthy. To prevent any slide into oligarchy, it uses democratic votes amongst suitably qualified people to remove people from office if they are acting against the interests of the people.
