Religion and The Movement:
One of the objects of The Movement is to bring about a religious reformation and renaissance, to escape from the religions of control, tyranny, fear and power to those of self-expression, creativity, liberation, diversity and enlightenment. First and foremost we mean a religion of psychological well-being that can be shaped by each and every person in their own image i.e. in terms of what makes sense to them and what they enjoy. They can turn to religions of the past (as the often Illuminati do), or devise their own new religions. It doesn’t actually matter what “outer form” religion takes so long as it prepares the person to seek the truth. Anyone who demands that you follow rules, regulations and commandments, who demands that you wear certain clothes, eat certain foods, pray five times a day, perform certain religious tasks each week, do nothing on the Sabbath etc, is a false prophet working for the Demiurge. Let no one control you. Each person should approach the True God in their own way. There is no prescribed way of seeking God, no holy book cast in stone, no prophet whom everyone must obey. Reject them all. Religion is yours, not theirs. You are in control of it, not them. And once you have freed yourself of the control of others then your mind will be free to turn to God and to comprehend his true nature.
The religion of absolute truth is the religion that succeeds the religion of psychological well-being. You cannot find the former until you have achieved the latter. Can you make a contribution? If you were starting a new religion tomorrow, what message would you want the world to hear? The quotations from the Gospels that are often cited as inspirational are universal principles. They are not the property of Christianity. All religions, even those controlled by the Demiurge, have good things to say. The important task is to filter out and refine the good and reject the bad.
Wouldn’t the world be a much healthier place if each and every person had their own religion, based on the collective wisdom of all the world’s religions, ancient and modern?
The First Commandment is this: Let no one give you any Commandments. It is for you to create your own. If you are a good and decent person you will come up with good and decent rules by which to live your life.

The Thermodynamics of Hell.
The Movement needs to make effective use of viral campaigns to spread the word. Could you produce something as clever as the item shown below (which is allegedly the answer provided by a student at the University of Washington to an unusual thermodynamics question in a Chemistry mid-term exam)?
Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle’s Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following:
“First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave.
“Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let’s look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell.
“With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle’s Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.
“This gives two possibilities: 1) If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose. 2) If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
“So which is it?
“If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, “…it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you,” and take into account the fact that I still have not succeeded in having an affair with her, then #2 above cannot be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and will not freeze over.”
This student received the only “A”.
We applaud him.

M Rising:
The Zeitgeist, Zeitgeist Addendum and Zeitgeist Moving Forward info-films have been viewed by tens of millions of people online all across the globe, yet have you ever heard of these films being discussed by mainstream newspapers, TV programmes or politicians? Judging by the reaction of the media and cultural commentators, it’s as though these films never existed. A massive audience is being completely ignored. Why? Because the Zeitgeist films advocate a new society. They advocate taking power from those who currently have it and giving it to the people. They advocate a New World Order where the people will be in charge. And who amongst the Power Elite would ever want to give any encouragement to that message? The upper echelons of society try to operate a closed shop. They don’t want to give time and space to dangerous ideas that threaten their hegemony.
They’re all in together. It’s so internalised in their behaviour they don’t need to sit together and conspire. All of those who have positions of influence in society know exactly what is expected of them, and one of those things is never to give publicity to revolutionary movements, unless it’s to condemn them and call for action to be taken against them.
But luckily something new and radical has emerged triumphantly on the world scene. The internet offers a unique chance to change the world. The traditional outlets for news and information can be bypassed and the “gatekeepers” ignored. Tunnels can be dug beneath them, bridges built over them, new gates constructed to public awareness. An enormous change is coming and the Power Elite just don’t get it. Their power is ebbing away. It will take a number of years, of course, but nevertheless the process is now underway. And the speed is increasing.
The OWO have been the masters of something called “cultural capital”: the means for controlling the debate, for deciding what the values of society should be. Every time you watch the news or listen to a politician or go to the movies or buy a mainstream book or see advertisements, you are being exposed to the agenda of the masters, the message they want to get across, the shape of society that they wish you to acknowledge (always in their favour and always hostile to your interests). They impose their cultural values on you. They start when you go school (they choose the curriculum you will follow, designed to endorse them), and they reinforce it in all of the institutions of society. They tell you how wonderful “freedom”, “democracy”, “free markets” and capitalism are. They tell you to worship celebrities, admire bankers, applaud the super-rich, support the politicians they foist on you. You don’t get to debate their values, to challenge them. They shut down all dissent by simply never giving it any oxygen of publicity.
In the past, this was brutally effective. But now the internet allows a direct challenge to the cultural capital of the Power Elite. The 9/11 Truth Movement, Conspiracy Theorists in general, activists such as those associated with Zeitgeist, have all steadily eroded confidence in the establishment. It doesn’t matter that these people might be wrong and spreading crazy ideas in some instances. The important point is that they are no longer accepting the “sacred” word of the Power Elite. This erosion of the respect normally afforded to those in power, this increase in cynicism and skepticism, this ever widening gulf between Wall Street and Main Street, will grow and accelerate. The old order is collapsing.
We can start preparing the funeral rites of the Old World Order. No one will miss them. They reached the zenith of their power just before the Credit Crunch brought their house of cards tumbling down. They called themselves “masters of the universe”. They said they were experts deserving of mind-boggling financial rewards. They said they had eliminated risk. The said the world was safe in their hands.
They will never be trusted again. Their credibility has been permanently destroyed. Like the Emperor in his new “clothes”, theyare exposed naked before the world. They are fools, charlatans, conmen, pretenders to knowledge, money-obsessed maniacs, pigs with their snouts permanently in the money trough. They are the veritable scum of the earth. No one could have been more dangerous to the stability and health of the world than these maniacs. They are like the Riders of the Apocalypse. War, famine, pestilence, poverty, chaos, death and hell follow in their wake. They are the Demiurge’s Chosen Ones. Their world crawls with greed and corruption, with profiteers, carpetbaggers and robber barons. These vampires suck the planet’s blood dry. To further their own interests they’d damn the whole world.
Why wasn’t the type of message shown in the Zeitgeist movies preached as far back as the Wall Street Crash in 1929? Only because it was deliberately suppressed by the authorities. But now the internet has freed the truth. Liberation is coming and it will be delivered through cyberspace. Dissenting voices are arising everywhere. “Heresy” is rife. It’s only a matter of time before an online movement generates enough support to pose a full-scale challenge to the Power Elite.
The content of this website would never have been possible under the pre-internet ruling regime. It’s a threat to them, so they would never have allowed the message to be heard. But it is being heard now. All over the world, new voices are coming to the fore. The authorities can’t stop them. At the moment, they’re trying to ignore them, but they won’t go away. Each voice might be tiny and almost inaudible, but put them all together and they become a mighty roar that can blow down empires. The Zeitgeist movies have struck a great blow for freedom. A breach has been made in the fortress of the Power Elite. Now the people have a chance to direct additional fire at the breach, to widen it, consolidate the gap and pour through in their millions.
Perhaps it will be The Movement that leads the assault on the Power Elite’s stronghold. The Movement might be the heroic vanguard that smashes through the last desperate defences. Make no mistake, the Power Elite are tottering. Join the resistance, join the Movement. Make your voice count. Bring the world out of bondage and servitude into the bright light of a new gold dawn, a New World Order.
It’s time to smash the towers of Babylon, to seize their banners and cast them down, to wreck every glittering citadel built by money stolen from the people.

The Defenders of The Indefensible:
Who will defend the Power Elite? We know the answer to that – the soldiers and police, the Old World Order’s armed wing, their enforcers, their paid thugs. It’s extraordinary that people think that soldiers are “nice” people. Soldiers are trained, professional, legalised killers. Most of them are poorly educated with sadistic tendencies. You think Abu Ghraib was an aberration? That’s par for the course. Their job is to obey the will of their masters. They don’t care who they attack. Once they have their orders, they’ll obey them to the letter.
So why are “homecoming” parades held for them? Why do towns and cities come to a halt to celebrate the return of those who have been engaged in wars in foreign countries where no one wants them and where they’ve killed many unarmed, innocent citizens? The soldiers aren’t protecting us; they’re endangering us. Revenge attacks are inevitable. 9/11 was nothing to do with the American government mounting a false flag attack. Why do so many Americans seem incapable of understanding that America is the most hated nation on earth because of its foreign policy, particularly its unswerving support for Zionist Israel? America made itself a target and Muslims seized their opportunity by mounting a low-tech attack involving hi-jacked airplanes. The only new, and stunning, ingredient compared with the regular airplane hijackings of the 1970 and 80s was the suicide angle. Why is it so hard to understand that some Muslims wanted to strike back at a superpower that had treated them with so much contempt for so long?
“God damn America!” said Reverend Wright, and many people all over the world nodded their heads. It must be emphasized that there’s no hatred of the ordinary American people who are innocent victims like everyone else; just for the rulers of America.
We’re told that soldiers are fighting for “us” (no they’re not – they’re fighting for their generals and political and economic masters) that they’re sacrificing their lives on our behalf (as though they were martyrs rather than people fully prepared to kill as many of the enemy as possible), that they’re “heroes” (really?). Even the ones who are riding along a road in an armoured vehicle and suddenly get blown up by an improvised explosive device are heroes – but what did they do that was heroic? The amount of propaganda that is expended on glorifying soldiers and war is nauseating, but of course it’s very much in the interest of those who send them to war in the first place.
Soldiers should be respected only when they are resisting aggressive, imperialist armies seeking to conquer for military glory and economic riches. In Iraq, the “coalition” army was the aggressor, acting without United Nations approval. It was a war fought by rogue leaders (Bush and Blair), who ought to be prosecuted for launching a war of aggression to help Zionist interests in the region and to take control of oil. In Afghanistan, the Taliban are more “heroic” than the NATO coalition. Afghanistan is their country. Let them get on with it. The “Truth Movement” is diverting attention away from the real conspiracy – between Zionism and Freemasonry that is the beating heart of American foreign policy. Zionists and Masons control Wall Street, the sacred cow of the American economy. The Old World Order comprises mostly Zionists and Freemasons.
9/11 happened because Osama bin Laden wanted to strike a blow against the American-Zionist axis of evil, as he sees it. The American and Zionist leaderships and intelligence services knew that such an attack was coming and made no serious attempt to stop it for strategic reasons, but they certainly weren’t the perpetrators of the attack. To be sure, it suited their foreign policy aims perfectly by giving them a pretext to intervene in the Middle East, but there was no “false flag” covert operation. Such an operation would have been entirely unnecessary, unbelievably high risk, and would have brought down the entire Old World Order if any genuine evidence of such a plot were uncovered. Someone, somewhere would definitely have talked. Such an operation would have been too big to contain. Far better to provoke the Muslims, wait for them to attack and then use that as the pretext for war. And that’s exactly what happened.
There is nothing mysterious about 9/11. America, tragically for the innocent victims, paid the price for its leaders’ needless and counterproductive pro-Zionist foreign policy. And now Muslims have paid the price for belonging to the same religion as Osama bin Laden since they’ve been forced to endure lethal retaliation from the West, with hundreds of thousands of dead in Iraq and Afghanistan. And things just keep getting worse for the West and Islam alike.
The “terror threat” rises in direct correlation to the extent to which the War on Terror is waged. Islam must avenge every atrocity committed by the West. The West must avenge every Islamic attack. And so both sides are locked into an eternal dance of hate and death. The Demiurge smiles. The only other people smiling are the military industrial complex, all of those who win vastly lucrative contracts connected with war. Peace is the last thing they want or care about. It’s bad for business.
Armies need wars. Manufacturers of guns, tanks, bombers, fighters, battleships, submarines, aircraft carriers, helicopter gunships, drones, missiles, military hardware and software of every conceivable type need wars. It’s a multi-billionaire dollar business rife with bribery and corruption. (BAE, a British weapons manufacturer, supplied an expensive but outdated and useless military air traffic control system to poverty-stricken Tanzania even though Tanzania has no military airforce. Huge bribes were paid to the officials sanctioning the deal.) Tens of thousands of jobs depend on the arms industry. Intelligence agencies need people to spy on. Governments need enemies so that they can rally the people. (There’s nothing like war to bring out patriotism and loyalty to the flag.)
American democracy is a joke. It’s astonishing that so many Americans take it seriously. Obama was the last hope of the democratic illusion and now it’s plain to see that he will never be the agent of change that he promised to be. Even if he wanted to be, those really in charge would never permit it. Every thinking American should boycott elections. If the candidates who run for President got zero votes and the democratic system were consequently completely discredited then the world would change overnight.
When were the American people asked if they wanted to be tied to Zionism? When were they asked if they wanted to go to war? When were they asked if they wanted Wall Street to do whatever it wanted without restraint or regulation? In every matter that counts, the people are never consulted. That’s the whole point of “democracy”: to pretend that the people can have influence but to prevent them actually having a say in anything important. In an American election, the people delegate their voice to the President and Congress, but neither the President nor Congress gives a damn about the people. Look at how much hope swept the world when Obama became President. At last, it seemed, the mould was broken. A complete outsider had come to power. A black man who apparently owed nothing to the vested interests of rich white folk had made it to the top. A year on, what has changed? All the hope has gone. But how could anyone have seriously believed that Obama would change anything anyway?
As Zeitgeist Addendum pointed out, change is not the purpose of politics. It’s there to perpetuate existing institutions, to maintain the power of the powerful. The President is the puppet of rich lobbyists. Every politician is bought and paid for by the big corporations and pressure groups. You can’t run for President unless you have immense funding – hundreds of millions of dollars – and who provides the money? The corporations, the pressure groups, the super rich. And they want value for money. They want pay back. They want a receipt. And now you’re in their pocket and you’re never getting out.
You want authentic change, a new society? Then you have to turn to people who are not in hawk to the establishment.
How can American voters believe that any President will save them? Many American blacks thought a new world was about to open for them at long last. Did it? You must be joking. The establishment hasn’t changed one iota. And it’s precisely because they are so resistant to conceding any ground to the people that they will eventually be destroyed. The destruction will originate in the one global network they can’t control – the internet.
The internet cannot be underestimated. It is an embryonic global brain, a collective consciousness, a Mass Mind. It can express the General Will of the people. It is a whole new evolutionary step up for humanity. It will render the Power Elite ineffectual because it can completely bypass them and make them marginal.
The people’s salvation lies in their being able to communicate without interference from the establishment. The people can decide for themselves how the world should be run. They don’t need intermediaries. They don’t need people who say one thing and do another, people who promise “change” then change nothing, Messiahs who don’t save anyone. People all over the world can get together on the internet. All the ruling regimes can be circumvented.
When their empire starts crumbling, the Power Elite will do what they always do: use force to save their skin. Don’t be under any illusions. Soldiers will turn their guns on you if they’re ordered to. In Northern Ireland in 1972, fourteen unarmed Civil Rights protestors were shot dead by British paratroopers during a civil rights march. The paratroopers went berserk and began firing indiscriminately into the crowd. At an enquiry afterwards, they lied through their teeth and claimed they were being fired on, but there wasn’t a single shred of evidence that they had been. They cynically and criminally tried to plant incriminating evidence on some of the corpses.
The first enquiry into the massacre, led by an English Lord, fully exonerated them. The leaders of the operation were awarded honours and medals by the Queen, and promoted. In the aftermath, the number of young men joining the Irish Republican Army in order to fight back against the British soared and Northern Ireland was condemned to decades of savage violence.
Many years later, the guilty conscience of some of the paratroopers began to emerge and a few courageous ones started to say what had really happened. They confessed that many of their colleagues had gone on a “rampage” and were “completely out of control”. Look at the Americans in Vietnam. Same story. In 1968, at My Lai, US soldiers massacred over 500 unarmed Vietnamese villagers, mostly women and children. Several massacres have also taken place in Iraq and Afghanistan.
So, again we ask, why do people welcome home soldiers? They aren’t your friends. They’re not defending you. They are the armed wing of the establishment, the bully boys and killers who enforce the will of the super-rich. Police are no better. They are there, first and foremost, to protect the lives and property of the super-rich and to lock up or shoot anyone who threatens the laws of the rich.
Never forget – the army and the police are not on your side. They are your enemies. They are power of the Old World Order expressed in guns and official uniforms.

V For Vendetta:
In this movie, Britain is under the rule of a brutal dictatorship. The resistance hero “V” wears a mask of Guy Fawkes, the man who attempted to blow up the English Parliament in the so-called Gunpowder Plot of 1605. At the end of the film, thousands of ordinary people march on Parliament wearing the same mask to show their solidarity and to signify that the people will no longer tolerate the dictatorship and are willing to fight to overthrow it. Evey, V’s companion, says at the end of the film that he was “all of us.” Great, inspirational figures enter mythology and it’s their mythic character that keeps the world entranced and beguiled. Jesus Christ’s myth is what sustains him, not the real life he led. St Paul virtually never mentioned Jesus as a real, living person; he was only interested in Jesus as a supposed deity. Myths can and do change the world. People need them. Superheroes trade on that same need. So, if you were to invent a fictional biography for a mythical founder of the Movement, what would you say? How could you inspire millions? Could you create a mythical figurehead for The Movement who embodies everything that is noble about humanity?
The Movement needs a face, a mythos that can live in history. A mask should be chosen to symbolize the face of the Movement. It might be a plain mask of the sort used by actors in Ancient Greek tragedies. It might be the face of a particular resistance hero from history. It might be abstract art. Let the Movement decide what is most suitable. The chosen mask could then be used in a campaign similar to this one: http://www.thisman.org/
Thomas Paine’s pamphlets played a critical role in rousing the people in the American Revolution. Can you write pamphlets? Can you drop “information bombs”?
The Movement should have a flag. The “M” logo would make a fine flag.
To use the jargon of the advertising industry, the Movement needs to become a “brand”, recognized everywhere. We have to beat the establishment at their own game, turn their own weapons against them. The idea is to give the Movement a clear, unmistakable identity that will increasingly enter into public consciousness.
What is needed is a spellbinding meme, an inspiring viral message that will criss-cross the world. Somewhere out there are people with the creativity to do it. Can you help?

Flash Mobs:
“Flashmobbing” involves random groups of people turning up at a pre-scheduled event, carrying out an action, such as all sitting down at the same time, or all shouting something, and then dispersing rapidly. Although fun, it serves no real function.
We advocate targeted, political flashmobbing. Imagine that several hundred people turned up at an event and all of them suddenly put on identical masks depicting the chosen face of the Movement, or all waved the flag of the Movement. Or all suddenly started playing Pho’s anthem for the Movement. One day in the future that will happen.

The Money Racket:
In The Last Bling King, activists of the “League for the Liberation of Nobodies” follow rich celebrities wherever they go and stand behind them in silence holding placards bearing simple messages such as the following:
1) For a fashion model: “I get paid a million dollars for wearing clothes.”
2) For a Hollywood actor: “I get paid ten million dollars for pretending to be someone else.”
3) For a soccer player: “I get paid ten million dollars for kicking a ball around a field.”
4) For a newsreader: “I get paid a million dollars for reading an autocue.”
5) For a preacher: “You don’t need me if you don’t feel sinful. So I will make you feel sinful.”
6) For a Wall Street trader: “I get a ten million dollar bonus for taking wild risks with other people’s money. If they lose it all, I lose nothing.”
7) For a banking CEO: “I get paid one hundred million dollars for creating debt. The more debt I create, the more my bank gets paid in interest. I want to put the whole world in debt.”
8) For a media agent: “I get paid five million dollars by placing myself between a client and an employer and answering the phone to both parties.”
9) For a “tabloid” newspaper boss: “I get five million dollars for satisfying people’s curiosity about what other people get up to in the bedroom.”
10) For a politician: “The more I do for rich lobbyists, the more money they pay me.”
Can you think of others?

The Money Assassins:
In Zeitgeist Addendum, “Economic Hitman” John Perkins said: “We economic hit men really have been the ones responsible for creating this first truly global empire and we work in many different ways. But perhaps the most common is that we will identify a country that has resources our corporations covet, like oil, and then arrange a huge loan to that country from the World Bank or one of its sister organizations. But the money never actually goes to the country. Instead it goes to our big corporations to build infrastructure projects in that country. Power plants, industrial parks, ports…things that benefit a few rich people in that country in addition to our corporations, but really don’t help a majority of the people at all. However, the whole country is left holding a huge debt. “It’s such a big debt they can’t repay it, and that’s part of the plan, that they can’t repay it. And so at some point we economic hit men go back to them and say ‘Listen, you owe us a lot of money. You can’t pay your debts, so sell your oil real cheap to our oil companies, allow us to build a military base in your country, or send troops in support of ours to someplace in the world like Iraq, or vote with us on the next U.N. vote.’ They have to have their electric utility company privatised and their water and sewage system privatised and sold to US corporations or other multinational corporations.
“So there was a whole mushrooming thing, and it’s so typical of the way the IMF and the World Bank work. They put a country in debt, and it’s such a big debt it can’t pay it, and then you offer to refinance the debt and get it to pay even more interest. And you demand this quid pro quo which you call ‘conditionality’ or ‘good governance’ which means basically that they’ve got to sell off their resources, including many of their social services, their utility companies, their school systems sometimes, their penal systems, their insurance systems, to foreign corporations. So it’s a double, triple, quadruple whammie!” But the economic hitmen aren’t just taking contracts out on nations, they have us in their sights too. Just as they give big loans to countries to saddle them with debts, they give big loans to ordinary men and women too. They give them massive mortgages to pay off, and cards loaded with credit (aka debt). Soon enough, you’re a slave of the system, with no prospect of escape. You have to keep on the treadmill, you have to scamper forwards with the other rats in the rat race, you have to keep your nose clean, or rather extremely dirty with all that brown-nosing you’re having to do. You can’t afford to aggravate your employer. You’re locked into the system. You’re terrified of losing your job because then you won’t be able to pay your debts. The economic hitman’s silencer is pointing at you right between the eyes.
The Old World Order use the use the same tactics on the big and the small scale. Whether it’s a nation or an individual, get them into debt and then you own them.
You’re not free, you’re not human. You’re a performing monkey, a rat with no option but to stay in the race. You’re a slave, completely under their control, which was their goal right from the start. But if you buy property at the right time, you can be a partial winner. House prices might shoot up, and you will have a valuable asset. But what of others who didn’t get on the property ladder at the right time? They might now be priced out of the market. Ownership of houses generates winners and losers. There’s no skill involved, just luck. Did you get your timing right or not? By chance, some do, and others don’t. That chance could shape your future. You might rise up the pecking order, or fall down. You might have an asset that your children will inherit and then they will have an advantage over less fortunate children who have nothing to inherit from their parents.
Why should home ownership dictate your wealth and status, your prospects in life, and even that of your children? It shouldn’t, but it does. It has nothing at all to do with merit. One of the classic mantras of the Power Elite to maintain their rule is contained in the principle: divide and rule. Look at how society is constructed. The basic unit is the family. Each family lives in its own small, square box (house), cut off from others. Each has one or more cars in which they can again cut themselves off from others. Each is determined to do the best for its own members, and to hell with everyone else.
A society based on the family is full of division, of narrow selfinterest, of fear and distrust of others. Everywhere, there are barriers between people. No one is cooperating. We are in the most horrific zero-sum game where if one family wins another loses. Families rising up are invariably pushing other families down. Rich families send their children to private schools to ensure that they get a better education than those who can’t afford private school. Once you have gone to a private school, and then an elite college or university, you are eligible for the fine things in life: the best jobs, the best houses, the most attractive partners. You are part of a rigged system, a cartel that is designed to favour you and penalize those who don’t share your privileged background. In Britain, this is known as “the old school tie”. If you walk into a job interview and you have the right tie and the right accent, you will get the job. An equally or more meritorious candidate from a poorer background has no chance. This is how society works. This is the gospel of the family.
Anyone who does not come from a good, stable, prosperous family is in real trouble. They are likely to slip into the dreaded underclass where they will lead a life of grinding misery with little or no chance of improving themselves. They will resort to drugs and crime to get them through. We have been divided into countless selfish, competing little units and the elite, dynastic families at the top of the pyramid are ruling us. We live in a disguised feudal system; the lords at the top and the serfs (us) effectively owned by them. We are all cutting each other’s throats, desperately trying to climb the pyramid and drag down those above us and stand on those below us. No one is ever condemned for saying, “I’d do anything for my family.” Indeed this is the principle by which most parents operate. Yet Christianity says, “Love thy neighbour as thyself”; “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” No well-off family loves the underclass, no well-off family wants to be done to as they do unto the underclass. None of these families are Christians, even though they say they believe in Christ. Capitalism is a cut-throat ideology, a robber’s creed. It’s all about how you can get one over your neighbours, how you can get more money, status and power than others. The “American Dream” is about a person or family rising from nowhere to the very top, above everyone else. It’s not about a whole nation rising.
Life is very simple in many respects. Would you rather have leaders who think that society is improved by raising up everyone, or by those who seek their own personal advantage at any cost, regardless of the impact on others? Do you think Wall Street operates in your interests or its own? And if it is not operating in the interests of all the people, why is it tolerated at all? “Greed is good,” said Gordon Gekko in Wall Street. Perhaps for the likes of him, but not for anyone else.
Why do we sign up for our own servitude? It doesn’t need to be like this.
A very simple moral test can be applied to every decision. Is it done to benefit you alone or to help you and everyone else? Wall Street’s morality is the former; Washington DC’s morality is the former; capitalism promotes the former; the family abides by the former.
The antidote to family is community. The antidote to capitalism is community. The antidote to narrow self-interest is community. The antidote to Wall Street and big business is community. “Christianity” is theoretically (but not in practice) about community. Illumination is about community.
And community is all about trying to create the environment for each and every person to achieve their maximum potential. An underclass would be unacceptable in a society based on community. Racism, sexism, discrimination, privilege would be unacceptable. At the moment, a tiny elite live as gods while the vast majority of humanity live in grim conditions with only a few dollars a day to survive. Imagine a world where everyone is flourishing, achieving, contributing. What could humanity not achieve? This is the path of light, the way to the True God. What we have at the moment is rule by the Demiurge, based on division, conflict, self-interest, hatred, selfishness and greed. The institutions of the world serve his and their interests, not those of the people. His ideology has triumphed. The Power Elite, the Old World Order, are his Chosen Ones who have implemented his destructive, hateful will to the letter.
Do you think there is a single godly person in Wall Street? They are the high priests of the Demiurge, and their skyscraper offices are his Satanic synagogues. Their chosen task in life is to enrich themselves at everyone else’s expense.
To this day there are people working for the defunct organisation Lehman Brothers. Their task is to unravel all of the deals that Lehman was involved with before it collapsed. These people, who took huge bonuses while their bank was crashing, caused by their disastrous decisions, are still being given huge bonuses because otherwise they would leave and it would be impossible to clean up their mess. In other words, they were paid a fortune while they were destroying their bank with their recklessness and stupidity, and now they are being paid a fortune to clean up the destruction. They win no matter the circumstances. That’s the way the OWO operates.
A bank robber goes into a bank and steals a million dollars – that’s a crime. A chief executive officer goes into a bank, nearly bankrupts it through his incompetence, then takes out a hundred million dollars in salary, share options, benefits in kind and finally an enormous payoff when he finally gets fired. That’s business. It’s entirely legitimate. But think about it – who’s the bigger criminal? Who has done the most damage to the bank? If you are “authorized”, you can do anything you like. You have a licence to help yourself to as much money as you like. No one will stop you.
Who are the authorities? Who appoints them? Who monitors and regulates them? Who is allowed to remove them from office? Do the people ever have any say?
At Davos, a luxury ski resort in Switzerland, world leaders gather annually to discuss the economic future of the world. Politicians, bankers, industrialists, media moguls…the entire ruling class, the Old World Order, come together to decide how to carve up the world pie. You have no say in any of it. No one consults you. Your opinions are ignored. This is the way the world works. Why do you tolerate it? Why does anyone put up with this?
It was these people, these fat cats who go to Davos and preach to the world about economic probity, who wrecked the world’s economy, who caused millions to lose their jobs and homes. What makes them think they are experts, that they are “good” for the world, that the world would fall apart without them? The reverse is true. If they vanished, it would be the best thing for the world. As the old joke says, what do you call a thousand lawyers at the bottom of the sea? A good start. The same is true for all bankers, accountants, politicians, stock market traders, advertisers, celebrities. Send them to the bottom of the ocean to “swim with the fishes.”
We won’t be free until it’s no longer possible to point at someone and say, “There goes one of the Power Elite.” There should be no Power Elite, no one with vastly more money than others, no one with vastly more influence, no one who is treated as a king.

The Moneyless Economy:
We often make reference to the world envisioned by Star Trek. The reason for that is simple. Everyone is familiar with it. No one thinks it’s a horrific picture of the future. Yet it’s a so-called New World Order. It’s a one-world government. There is no nationalism, racism, sexism, discrimination. There is no celebrity culture, no Power Elite, no dynastic families, no privilege. Religion is a private matter. There is no want, poverty or famine. Replication technology produces all the food needed for the world. Above all, there is no money in Star Trek. “The economics of the future is somewhat different. You see, money doesn’t exist in the 24th century. The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in our lives. We work to better ourselves and the rest of humanity.” –Jean-Luc Picard http://en.wikipedia.org/
Why isn’t humanity geared up for “bettering ourselves”, for self-enhancement, for enlightenment? Star Trek relentlessly mocks capitalism. Capitalists are represented as the Ferengi – vile creatures who will do anything to turn a profit, who have no moral scruples whatever, who obey only one law: the Profit Principle. They are the Wall Street gang in outer space. Communism is given equally short shrift. The Borg are the communists of the future. Everyone has to be absorbed into the collective.
As for the Federation, it’s a Technocratic Meritocracy. The Star Trek vision of society is effectively identical to that of the Venus Project featured in Zeitgeist Addendum:
“So the ultimate question remains: Do we on earth have enough resources and technological understanding to create a society of such abundance, that everything we have now could be available without a price tag and without the need for submission through employment? Yes, we do! “We have the resources and technology to enable this at a minimum, along with the ability to raise the standard of living so high that people in the future will look back at our civilization now and gawk at how primitive and immature our society was.” –Peter Joseph, Zeitgeist Addendum
“What the Venus Project proposes is an entirely different system that’s updated to present day knowledge.” –Jacque Fresco, Zeitgeist Addendum
“We’ve never given scientists the problem of: How do you design a society that would eliminate boring and monotonous jobs?…That would eliminate accidents in transportation…that would enable people to have a high standard of living…that would eliminate poisons in our food…give us other sources of energy, that are clean and efficient. We can do that out there.”
“The major difference between a resource based economy and a monetary system is that a resource based economy is really concerned with people and their well-being, where the monetary system has become so distorted that the concerns of the people are really secondary, it they’re there at all. The products that are turned out are for: How much money you can get? If there is a problem in society and you can’t earn money from that solving that problem, than it won’t be done.”
“The resource based economy is really not close to anything that’s been tried. And with all our technology today we can create abundance. It could be used to improve everyone’s lifestyle. Abundance all over the world if we use our technology wisely and maintain the environment.” –Roxanne Meadows, Zeitgeist Addendum
“It’s a very different system and it’s very hard to talk about because the public is not that well enough informed as to the state of technology.” –Jacque Fresco, Zeitgeist Addendum

Conclusion:
All the pillars of Western society are in decline. Mainstream religion has failed to deliver a world of which anyone can be proud. The combination of free market capitalism and democracy has brought the world to the brink of financial ruin. Respect for politicians, bankers, lawyers, media moguls, businessmen is at an all-time low. The Old World Order have failed and the failure can no longer be concealed. Their army and police wait in the wings to impose the will of the Power Elite, but the people are losing their fear.
The internet permits global communication. New ideas can cross the planet in seconds. Viral campaigns can change human consciousness. At the moment, the internet is used for many frivolous, disconnected reasons, but that can all change.
One group of intelligent, energetic, determined people could seize the intellectual high ground via the internet and set the agenda for the future…light the touch paper that brings a bright new dawn to the world. They could create a new religion to inspire the world, a new political party to replace the corrupt and failed parties of the present, a new psychological understanding of humanity to ensure that each and every person is treated as an individual and that their talents are maximised. A new world. A new life. A new dawn. A new humanity.
Can the Movement change the world? That depends on the merit, intelligence, zeal and commitment of its members. Can you make a difference?
Join the Movement.
The future is ours…if we choose to seize it.
