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.

Introduction:
THIS IS ONE OF A SERIES OF BOOKS outlining the religion, politics and philosophy of the ancient and controversial secret society known as the Illuminati, of which the Greek polymath Pythagoras was the first official Grand Master. The society exists to this day and the author is a member, working under the pseudonym of “Adam Weishaupt” – the name of the Illuminati’s most notorious Grand Master.
The Illuminati’s religion is the most highly developed expression of Gnosticism and is called Illumination (alternatively, Illuminism). Dedicated to the pursuit of enlightenment, it has many parallels with the Eastern religions of Hinduism, Buddhism and Taoism. It rejects the Abrahamic religions of faith: Judaism, Christianity and Islam, considering these the work of the “Demiurge”; an inferior, cruel and wicked deity who deludes himself that he is the True God, and who has inflicted endless horrors on humanity.
If you wish to judge for yourself how deranged the Demiurge is, you need only read the Old Testament, the story of the Demiurge’s involvement with his “Chosen People”, the Hebrews. You may wonder why the “God of All” entered into an exclusive and partisan Covenant with a tribe in the Middle East several thousand years ago, why he promised them a land (Canaan) that belonged to others, and why he then actively participated with them in a genocidal war against the Canaanites. Even more bizarrely, according to Christian theology, he then despatched all of those Hebrews, whom he had supported so fanatically, to Limbo – the edge of Hell – when they died. They couldn’t go to Heaven because they were indelibly marked by the “Original Sin” of Adam and Eve. Only the atonement provided by the agonising death of God’s “son”, Jesus Christ, could wipe the slate clean and allow the Hebrews to be released from Limbo. But there was a catch. Only those who accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour were eligible for Paradise.
Of course, the Chosen People of “God” have almost entirely rejected Jesus Christ. Therefore, from the Christian perspective, nearly all of the Chosen People are now in hell proper. Don’t you find God’s behaviour distinctly odd? Indeed, unbelievable? Don’t alarm bells start ringing? Doesn’t the behaviour of this God sound rather more like what would be expected of Satan?
Remember that this same “God” ordered Abraham to perform human sacrifice on his own son, Isaac. Abraham, rather than rejecting this monstrous command, rather than denouncing the creature that gave it as evil incarnate, agreed to butcher his own flesh and blood to demonstrate how slavishly and mindlessly obedient he was – the prototype of all psychopathic, fanatical “believers”.
Does God’s command to Abraham sound like something that would ever pass the lips of the True God? We pity you if you think it does because you are surely a creature of the Demiurge and one of the legions of the damned. If, however, you doubt the credentials of the Abrahamic God, you may be receptive to the message of the Illuminati and our future-oriented, rational, scientific, mathematical and dialectical religion of light – Illumination.

How to become God:
THE ESSENCE OF ILLUMINATION, the secret religion of the Illuminati, is that it is possible for any human being to literally become God. Therefore, the Illuminati are wholly opposed to any religions that seek to alienate humanity from God and to create a master-slave relationship in which enslaved humans, on their knees, worship a tyrannical slave-master God who must be obeyed no matter what, even if he demands of people that they commit supremely horrific and evil deeds. The most depraved and immoral “God” to which humanity has been subjected is the God of Abraham, the deity worshipped by billions of Christians, Muslims and Jews. The defining event of Abraham’s life, which is celebrated by all Abrahamists, is that God ordered him to kill his son and he willingly agreed. This consent to murder is, perversely and criminally, regarded as something great and wondrous by Abrahamists when in fact it should be defined as the ultimate immorality and evil. If killing your own innocent boy is “good” then what on earth constitutes “evil”? If Abrahamists don’t hesitate to kill their own children, they certainly won’t hesitate to kill yours – as history has so horrifically demonstrated.
Is it conceivable that the True God would order a father to make a human sacrifice of his own son, an act of irredeemable moral evil? Would any loving, moral father contemplate doing it for even one instant – or would he give his own life to save his son’s? Would he not immediately conclude that the entity that gave the order was not God but the opposite: Satan? Who but the Devil would order fathers to murder their own flesh and blood to ensure their absolute obedience to his tyrannical commands? It’s a category error to believe that God would order a father to kill his innocent son under any circumstances. It’s quite simply a moral impossibility since it refutes all conceivable moral codes. Any person unable to see that is sick and evil, hence some three and a half billion Abrahamists must be classified as sick and evil.
The Islamic version of Abraham’s sacrifice is even more horrific than the Jewish tale. Allah orders Abraham to kill his son Ishmael while “Shaytan” pleads with Abraham to spare the boy’s life. Three times, Abraham violently drives Shaytan away with stones and at last gets ready to plunge a dagger into his son. That’s all you need to know about the morality of Islam – Muslims support murder and reject those who plead for life (and call them Satan!). Ishmael’s mother, Hagar, was present as Abraham made ready to kill their son, and lifted not one finger to intervene. This nauseating story of murderous parental hatred towards their innocent child is commemorated every year by millions of Muslims at their Hajj pilgrimage in Mecca, birthplace of Mohammed. “Shaytan’s” heroic efforts to save the boy’s life are disgracefully mocked in the ceremony of casting stones at the “Devil”. But who is the REAL Devil? Who is truly acting immorally – the one who orders murder or the one who begs for life to be spared? How can there be any moral debate at all when the answer is so obvious – Muslims worship the God of Death, not the God of Life. Islam is a death cult. Muslims explicitly reject the God of Life by casting stones at him. A Muslim wrote to us to say that Allah is the “greatest plotter”. We’re sure he is. He therefore manifestly isn’t God. Why would God plot? Isn’t he all-powerful? With whom and against whom would he plot? Does he plot against all those who say that morality excludes the possibility of anyone, God or man, ordering people to murder innocent children? The 9/11 terrorist hijackers were perfect Muslims, doing exactly the bidding of Allah – the God who orders the innocent to be slaughtered. If Islam forbade the slaughter of innocents, no one could consider 9/11 an Islamic act. But Islam enshrines the murder of the innocent. It’s the focus of Hajj. Abraham is called the “first Muslim”. Islam was founded on the basis of killing anyone in Allah’s name, even your own children.
Shouldn’t the tale of Abraham be the opposite of the one we are told about? An evil voice tells Abraham to kill his son and threatens him with terrible penalties if he refuses, and a good voice pleads with him not to. Three times the evil voice urges murder and three times Abraham rejects the wicked command, despite the terrible consequences he may suffer. The good voice then declares Abraham a noble and magnificent human being for heroically resisting evil, and declares that the rest of humanity should emulate him. Doesn’t this version make perfect sense? The other version, the actual version, is insane, unless you’re a Devil worshipper!
The infamous events, including murderous threats and actual murder, surrounding the publication of Salman Rushdie’s novel The Satanic Verses go to the heart of the Islamic religion. Rushdie’s book refers to a greatly disputed event whereby, according to some scholars, Mohammed acknowledged that Satan had appeared to him as the Angel Gabriel and dictated false verses to him, which were initially inserted in the official Koran and then removed (because they supported a more tolerant stance towards paganism!). Of course, the question is then raised as to whether the whole of the Koran was in fact dictated by Satan calling himself God’s angel. Mohammed himself feared that a demon had spoken to him on the first night of “revelation” and it was his wife who reassured him. Yet how could God’s prophet be in any doubt about whether he was being addressed by an angel or demon? It’s impossible. How could a “holy” man struggle to differentiate between the voices of good and evil?
Was his wife therefore the true founder of Islam? But how could she reassure Mohammed given that she had no idea what had taken place between Mohammed and the “angel” since she wasn’t there and didn’t experience it? Women, in Islam, are in any case never considered reliable. The testimony of two women is deemed equivalent to that of one man. Saudi Arabia, birthplace of Mohammed and spiritual home of Islam, has only just given women the vote. Saudi women are forbidden from driving, are not allowed to travel without the permission of a male guardian, are not allowed to open a bank account or access healthcare without the permission of a man and must cover their entire bodies, except for their hands and eyes, in public or in the presence of strange men. Their clothes should be dark, dull and unadorned – according to men.
Would the True God ever create a religion called “submission” (Islam) – or would a tyrannical Devil establish such a master-slave religion which demands that human beings get on their knees to him? The answer is self-evident.
Abrahamists say that “God” was testing Abraham. So what was the test – to obey the most evil command of all without question? What kind of test is that? In fact, it was the Devil who was testing Abraham – and the test was to see if he was prepared to mindlessly and slavishly do ultimate evil simply to obey an order – just like the Nazis who were prosecuted at the Nuremberg trials for “only obeying orders” rather than accepting personal moral responsibility for their actions.
Did Abraham show any consideration at all for his son? Did he assume moral accountability? Did he genuinely believe that slaughtering an innocent child was a “good” act? Or did he not think at all, but obey like a programmed machine, and is this not in fact what is required of all Abrahamists – never to think and to conduct themselves like dutiful automata? Look at Muslims – can they even be considered human, or are they just Koranic machines? Jews obey over 600 commandments – why? Do they despise freedom that much? As for Christians, they are so irrational they think the Creator of the universe was born in a stable to a 14-yr-old Jewish “virgin”.
The companion piece to Abraham’s sacrifice is the story of Jephtha’s daughter. In this tale, a Jew burned his teenage, virgin daughter to death to fulfil an oath to Jehovah. Jehovah made no attempt to stop him. Why not? Because Jehovah is the God of Murder of the Innocent, the King Herod of deities. Abrahamists say that human free will is the cause of evil. They say that humanity should never have eaten of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge and learned for themselves how to judge good and evil. They should have remained absolutely obedient to “God” and thus, like Abraham and Jephtha, agreed to slaughter their own children for Jehovah’s sake. Why aren’t these two diabolical men regarded as the very worst psychopaths? Why, instead, do three religions claim Abraham – the would-be child killer – as their patriarch and inspiration? Are they DERANGED?!
Are the billions of Christians, Muslims and Jews – Abraham’s descendents – who infest and infect our world, nothing but robotic, irrational Devil worshippers who call their Satanic Lord, “God”? Did Abraham believe that it was an intrinsic “good” to obey any order given by “God”? Can a human being who obeys without question be regarded as human at all? In what sense do such people exercise judgment and moral choice? Are they not just programmed machines?
Abrahamism is the creed of absolute, mindless, slavish obedience to an infinitely powerful master. It is Hegel’s master-slave dialectic at its most extreme, with “God” as the eternal master and humanity permanently on its knees, eyes fearfully cast downwards, shouting Allahu Akbar to prove their loyalty and devotion and thus avoid infinite punishment in hell. They are driven by utter terror of the punishment “God” will mete out to them for disobedience. This punishment can be both infinite in scale and eternal in duration. What loving God would ever terrorize his own creations with such monstrous threats and promises of limitless suffering? Does God enforce his will through Terror? Is that his trump card? Such a being is not God but the Devil.
Abrahamism is the supreme insult to human dignity and freedom. It stands in immortal opposition to the Enlightenment. It rejects reason and knowledge in every possible regard. There can be no glorious future for humanity until the wicked, mad Abrahamic past is obliterated. All Abrahamists are enemies of the human race, and followers of the cosmic Torture God, Satan.
Can any sane and rational person imagine a religion of love, compassion, kindness, peace and forgiveness being founded on the image of a father standing over his son ready to plunge a dagger into him at “God’s” behest? How mentally ill and morally evil would you have to be to imagine that any benevolent religion could have such foundations, grounded in TERROR.
The God of Abraham is the Terrorist God, which is why so many of his followers are terrorists. The “War on Terror” ought to be the war against Abrahamism, the religion of the Devil himself.
Abrahamism is the biggest lie and fraud ever perpetrated against the human race. It was the Trojan Horse by which Satan had himself proclaimed “God” by billions of slaves, retards, cowards and the constitutionally superstitious and fearful. Half of the world has been controlled for thousands of years by the Abrahamic religions. If these religions are a source of good, why is the world so evil? Isn’t the obvious truth that it’s these religions that are the cause of human depravity? While they have manifestly failed to build a good world, they have succeeded spectacularly in creating an evil one. Isn’t the rational thing to do to abandon failure and embrace a religion that actually works and tells the rational truth? Look at any picture of Abraham holding his dagger above his son’s heart, ready to plunge it in to satisfy God’s will, and consider the violent history of Abrahamism. 2 + 2 = 4, right?! If we don’t understand the past, we are condemned to repeat it. WAKE UP!
We are the Illuminati. We are Gnostics. We are Pythagoreans. We are artists, mathematicians, philosophers, scientists, musicians, filmmakers, designers, engineers, technologists, futurologists, radicals and psychologists opposed to the Devil who rules our world: the “God” of the Jews, Christians and Muslims. We are equally opposed to Zionist-Masonic “free-market” capitalism (which is actually a rigged, cartel operation designed to make the rich richer and to entrench the position of privileged elites) and seek its replacement by “social” capitalism, based on a much more even distribution of wealth and equal opportunities.
The Illuminati is an ancient secret society that seeks to bring about a New World Order based on the principle that everyone can become God. The Illuminati’s radical vision is of a new humanity releasing its inner divinity – for we are a divine race, not a slave population to a Terror God.
The ten most influential Grand Masters of the Illuminati are: King Solomon the Apostate, Pythagoras, Heraclitus, Empedocles, Simon Magus, Hypatia, Leibniz, Weishaupt, Goethe and Hegel. If these figures are not of interest to you then it would be pointless for you to venture any further into the Illuminati’s world of freedom, knowledge and apotheosis.
Our series of books is not for the faint-hearted. It contains an enormous amount of philosophical, psychological, political, historical, scientific and religious content. If you are interested in embarking on the spiritual journey of your life then you have opened the door to a mansion of wonders. If, however, you have come in search of aliens, pan-dimensional lizards and evil Illuminists relentlessly plotting against the ordinary people of the world then you have arrived at the wrong destination. Henry Makow, David Icke, Alex Jones and their ilk will be more to your taste.
Our aim, as it has always been, is to overthrow the network of elite, dynastic families of wealth and privilege that we refer to as the “Old World Order” who have run this world since the dawn of civilization, to their maximum advantage and to the extreme detriment of the people.
We are a radical and indeed revolutionary organization that seeks nothing less than to assist the ordinary men and women of the human race to ascend to the next stage of humanity’s divine evolution. We describe this higher level as the “Community of Gods” or the “Society of the Divine.”
It’s time to end the reign of the false prophets and the fake gods, and of the tawdry modern idols that we call “celebrities”. We’re sick of the bankers and traders, the lawyers and accountants, the politicians and their “special advisers”, the lobbyists and spin doctors, the agents and gatekeepers, the CEOs and chairmen, the advertisers and marketing men. We’re sick of all the same faces of the “top” people and their relentless tricks and tactics to keep enriching themselves at the people’s expense. We’re sick of George W. Bush’s “Freedumb and Dumbocracy” that cons people into voting for the rich and the apologists for the rich, and we’re sick of the Abrahamic religions that keep billions of people on their knees as slaves to a tyrant masquerading as God.
You know that humanity is capable of so much more. Isn’t it time to bring about real change? Isn’t it time to seize our divine inheritance?
We are the Illuminati. We are the messengers of the True God. Our sacred mission is to bring humanity into full union with the True God so that there is no longer any distinction between the human race and the divine essence. We are able to show how this can be achieved using Einstein’s theories of special and general relativity, quantum mechanics and the six-dimensional cosmology and Monadology of Leibniz. It’s time for humanity to open its eyes and see the divine light for the first time. Our religion is called Illumination. We have emerged from the shadows to cast the light of Abraxas, the True God, on this benighted world; to bring Illumination – enlightenment – to everyone.
Adam Weishaupt, the most controversial Grand Master of the Illuminati, is commonly regarded as a monster attempting to create a sinister New World Order. Weishaupt did indeed wish to overthrow conventional religion and all tyrannical governments. He did indeed wish to create a New World Order, one that would free humanity from the grip of the Old World Order that has Satanically ruled the earth from the dawn of time and which continues to rule to this day. Weishaupt’s mission is not over. The New World Order has not yet been built. The world is not yet Illuminated. All of you who wish to bring to an end the corrupt rule of rich elites such as those that run Wall Street, and evil dynasties such as the Royal Family of the United Kingdom or the Rothschild bankers, what are you prepared to do to assist our great endeavour to change this benighted world? It’s time to dispel the darkness. It’s time for Illumination. It’s time to go on a new quest for the Holy Grail.

“The stories of the Grail had been of the greatest importance to me ever since I read them, at the age of fifteen, for the first time. I had an inkling that a great secret lay hidden behind those stories.” –Jung
This series of books by the Illuminati constitutes an unprecedented experiment, with one of its main aims being to defuse the absurd misinformation and disinformation that appears in enormous amounts on the internet regarding the Illuminati, making it the most controversial organization on earth. The Illuminati is an ancient secret society, currently comprising approximately 6,000 souls from all across the world. The Order of the Illuminati offers ten degrees, of which seven are ordinary degrees and the remaining three “mystery” degrees.
The ruling council comprises the twelve most senior members of the Illuminati (those who have attained the tenth degree and mastered all of the mysteries). The Grand Master is elected by the ruling council and remains in post until death.
This series of books is intended to provide interested parties with the equivalent of the information and training supplied to a sixth degree Illuminatus. This undertaking is one of a number of initiatives run by “communication cells” of the Illuminati. The books are written by three adepts who have attained the seventh degree of the Order of the Illuminati.
For those who wish to get involved with building a new society based on the ingenuity, talents and power of the people, we recommend that you join The Movement. Where is it? It’s wherever you are. This is the dawn of hyperreality.
Join the resistance to the Power Elite. Build a New World Order in the name of the people. Make your contribution to a new society. We’re not looking for believers or fools. We’re seeking Attitude, Creativity, Radicalism: fresh voices for a fresh world. Do you have anything worth saying? Is it time for your voice to be heard?
If all the smartest, strongest, most imaginative, creative and rational people flock to our banner, who can defeat us? If you have it in you to become God then now is the time for you to hear the cosmic call of the divine, the sacred and transcendent “Music of the Spheres”.

“The Ancien Régime is a Satanic Order. The Illuminati’s noble and historic mission is to release man’s higher self by destroying the archons – the princes of the world – who prosecute Satan’s will and hold mankind in their thrall. Their corruption has reached its zenith in France. That diabolical tyranny is ripe for destruction. All that is required is a spark. We are the spark.” –Adam Weishaupt (Grand Master of the Illuminati), 1789

The Great Enlightenment War:
THE ENLIGHTENMENT – the age of reason, scientific progress and new political thinking – did not free the human race from the unreason, superstitions and injustices of the past. Only a small number of people, scientists and artists in particular, truly gained meaningful freedom. But, apart from in France, the old tyrannical monarchies did not fall. The Abrahamic religions were not swept away. For most people, the Enlightenment didn’t happen. It still hasn’t happened. Billions of human beings alive today reject evolutionary theory. They accept ancient religious “revelation” as more important and true than the scientific method which has delivered all of the improvements in human living standards.
Where reason, science and education do not prevail in the world, the people are invariably backward and live in extreme poverty. Such people are usually extremely religious and may be devout Christians or Muslims. Has religion done a single thing to help them and improve the quality of their lives? Religion has in fact accomplished nothing for these people yet they continue to believe and to reject reason and science. It reveals the extent of the failure of the Enlightenment that irrational superstitions continue to be more important to the vast majority of human beings than mathematics, science, philosophy and psychology. Moreover, in an advanced nation like the UK, many millions continue to revere the “Queen”, an unelected, unaccountable, anti-meritocratic representative of monarchy: a tyrannical institution of the past that oppressed the ordinary people and created permanent dynastic elites. Why do Britons choose to define themselves as someone’s “subjects”? Do they have no dignity, self-respect and lust for freedom?
Why do they allow themselves to be called “commoners”, inferior to the ruling elite? This is the 21st century and yet even the people of modern States are trapped in ancient delusions and superstitions. The millions of Britons who worship the Queen are practically retarded. They certainly form no part of the Enlightened world.
No enlightened person would ever endure the rule of any kind of monarch, or attribute any special powers or status to a particular family. Millions of people across the world gave their lives to overthrow hereditary rule, yet the UK embraces it and celebrates it. It forms a core part of the identity of millions of Britons i.e. they are willing to regard themselves as the slaves of a particular family to which the label “Royal” is attached. If they were rational, they would overthrow the monarchy tomorrow. But the UK is not a nation of reason. It’s a conservative, old- fashioned, sentimental, nostalgic nation living in the past and infected with every kind of superstition.
So, a second Enlightenment is required, and this time its purpose shouldn’t be to liberate a few clever freethinkers, but to unshackle the whole of humanity. This time the Enlightenment can’t be allowed to stop until everyone is free and humanity is finally rid of the insane beliefs and practices of ancient times. A number of great dialectical struggles must be won before humanity can proceed to the next stage of its divine evolution. The most enlightened amongst us most overcome the most endarkened.
Here are all the victories that must be won:
Enlightenment versus Abrahamism.
Abrahamism has no place at all in an enlightened world. It’s a terrifying, sinister, irrational belief system with zero truth content. Abrahamists believe that God would order a father (Abraham) to murder his son. Such a thought, in the context of the True God, is literally unthinkable. The “God” of Abraham is a Torture God, a God of Terror.
Morality is never discussed in the Abrahamic “holy” texts. All they are concerned with is slavish, mindless obedience to “God.” Abrahamism is nothing but primitive operant conditioning promising people the maximum incentive (heaven) for obeying “God” and the maximum punishment (hell) for disobeying. It is nothing but a system of control of stupid, credulous believers. Abrahamism’s history has been one of extremist violence, fanaticism, and tyranny. It has not one worthwhile thing to offer the world. Abrahamism must be subjected to the Final Solution – complete eradication from this world. The Devil must die!
Reason versus Faith.
“Whenever we read the obscene stories [of the Old Testament], the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon than the Word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt or brutalize mankind.” –Thomas Paine
Abrahamism champions faith. Faith means a strong or unshakeable belief in something without any proof. The insane person who is certain he is Napoleon is a person of faith. In fact, faith and insanity are the same thing. Why would anyone believe anything without proof? Billions of Christians believe that the Creator of the Universe was born in a stable to a Jewish virgin some 2,000 years ago (the Jews themselves do not believe this!). Is that belief anything other than insane? It stands in absolute opposition to reason, logic, science and common sense, and even the Jews think it’s stupid. Surely a claim so ridiculous must be backed up by irrefutable proof? Yet it’s backed up by no proof at all. It’s just an assertion, a story in a book. Why would any sane person consider it true? And in fact no sane person would. If you believe in Christianity, you are saying that reason and science are wrong. You are rejecting everything solid, true and real in favour of a preposterous story.
Faith is quite simply an insane concept. Faith has no place in the rational world. Faith is a word that should be removed from the human vocabulary. It serves no positive function and is historically associated with extreme evil. It must be abolished.
Everything should be considered “proven”, “provisionally proven”, “not proven”, or “refuted”. At the very most charitable, the virgin birth of Jesus Christ would have to be considered not proven, and that is surely no basis for the most successful religion in world history. Science is based on evidence and reason and has wiped the floor with religion. In any contest between science and religion, science should be regarded as the default position and religion as being in severe want of evidence. Believers should be stigmatised as stupid and mad – because that’s exactly what they are.
“Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’” –Isaac Asimov
Knowledge versus Superstition.
Enormous numbers of people still inhabit a world of primitive superstition. Superstition is of course a close relative of faith. Just like faith, superstition is ferociously anti-science and irrational. Superstition is defined as an irrational belief based on ignorance or fear and characterised by obsessive reverence for omens, charms or unseen forces.
Knowledge is the antidote to superstition. Superstition, like faith, must be driven out of the vocabulary. It must be stigmatized. There is simply no place for it.
Good deeds versus Faith.
Protestants have rejected good deeds in favour of faith (via the doctrine of justification by faith). Faith is consequently selfish and immoral and encourages scorn for other people and a refusal to help and cooperate with them.
We must have a world where good deeds are the basis of our moral code and faith has no role at all. Good deeds help others; faith helps no one. There is no such thing as moral justification by faith. Good deeds are the sole moral justifier.
Protestantism is an evil religion. Martin Luther, its sleazy founder, declared, “Reason is the Devil’s whore.” A religion that hates reason and good deeds is the definition of a Satanic religion. Protestantism must be eradicated.
High IQ versus Low IQ.
Most people in the world are stupid. Stupid people will never become Gods. The State should never pander to the stupid. It must do everything in its power to raise the general IQ. This can be achieved only through a) enormous investment in education, 2) enormous changes in environment (children must be removed from ugly, unhealthy, stupid environments 3) an assessment of whether parents are a stupid or clever influence in their children’s lives (never forget that half of all parents will be below the median intelligence); if the former, contact time between parents and children must be reduced by the expedient of sending children to boarding schools where they will be supervised and taught by intelligent people.
Scientific Method versus Moralising.
The “Drugs War” has been going on for decades and shows no sign of being won. What’s the point of this war? Is it all because some strident moralizers say that drugs are “wrong”? Well, their moralizing stance certainly hasn’t accomplished any victory over drugs. Isn’t it time to try non-moralizing tactics? Isn’t it time to apply the scientific method, the most successful method in human history? Isn’t it time to legalize drugs and collect evidence as to whether that leads to better or worse outcomes than at present? In fact, isn’t it time to apply the scientific method to all aspects of the State and to eliminate moralizing entirely?
Let’s make everything evidence based. Policies can be adopted, abandoned or amended not because they’re morally “right” or “wrong” but because they are evidentially successful or unsuccessful.
Who are the moralizers? – the priest caste and the political preachers. Who needs these people? They have troubled the world long enough. Let them be gone. Let evidence and method replace these clowns.
Reincarnation versus Resurrection.
Resurrection is an absurd concept that makes people think their souls are created by God and are entirely under his control. In fact, souls are uncreated and eternal. When people understand that, they will realize they are not subject to God at all. The logical conclusion of the doctrine of reincarnation is that everyone can perfect themselves and become God. Once you grasp that God does not control you – that he can’t send you to heaven or hell – and that you create your own fate and can send yourself to heaven because you have become God then your attitude towards existence, God and yourself is transformed forever.
When everyone accepts the truth of reincarnation, it will revolutionise the world. Abrahamism will perish and everyone will start to work on the grand project to make themselves God.
Your fate is in your own hands – not anyone else’s. God, strictly speaking, is irrelevant to you, except as the shining beacon that draws you onwards and upwards towards your own divinity.
Karma versus Choice.
The theory of karma is that there is some sort of moral force in the cosmos that is somehow quasi-scientific and it can “calculate” your sins versus your virtues and then create a future life for you in which your sins catch up with you and you are made to suffer, or your virtues are rewarded and you are allowed to enjoy a happy life.
Of course, no one anywhere can present any plausible scientific explanation for how karma influences DNA or what environment you are going to be born in. If you are a fan of karma, try to propose how karma scientifically causes an Indian who was once a Brahmin (highest caste), but was very sinful, to come back as an Untouchable (lowest caste). How does DNA reflect the Indian caste system?
It’s all BULLSHIT. Karma is one of the most absurd concepts ever devised. It has nothing to do with science. As for morality, how is this to be assessed? When Adolf Hitler thought the Jews were responsible for the woes of Germany and decided to eliminate them, he unquestionably thought he was right and that he was doing good. He thought he was entirely morally justified. By exactly the same token, Abraham thought it was good and right to kill his own son because God had ordered it. The ancient Jews thought it was good and right to exterminate the Canaanites. The Inquisition thought it good and right to burn heretics and witches. The Americans thought it good and right to exterminate the Native American tribes and to drop atom bombs on Japan. How does karma “know” whether these actions are right or wrong, good or evil? If you were President Truman weighing how to end the war against Japan, would you have dropped the atomic bomb or sent many thousands of American soldiers to their deaths instead? There is no RIGHT answer, so how can karma possibly know what’s right and what’s wrong? Karma isn’t even characterised as a conscious intelligence with the power of thought, so how does it ponder moral issues? How does it reach rational conclusions?
The karma doctrine is effectively saying that absolute standards of good and evil are ingrained in the fabric of the cosmos, yet this is ludicrous. How can a non-thinking entity assess good and evil? Good and evil are products of consciousness and can only be judged by consciousness. There is no good or evil in the absence of consciousness. Since karma isn’t conscious, it can have no conceivable opinions of good and evil. Karma is a philosophically laughable concept. It is ridiculously naive and foolish. Like Abrahamism, karma must be consigned to the dustbin. It serves no useful function at all, and in its support for the caste system, it’s inherently evil. Isn’t that the supreme irony? – karma itself deserves to be punished for its wickedness. Karma, by its own logic, should reincarnate into a lower form to learn the moral lessons of its errors. And thus karma eats itself. It unravels into total absurdity.
You choose your fate: your fate doesn’t choose you. Your choices NOW are what count; not your choices of the past.
Domination versus Submission.
Our world is a place where dominants prey on submissives. There are relatively few dominants – only 1 in 20 – and plenty of submissives for them to hold sway over.
The dominants are the masters in the Hegelian dialectic, and the submissives are the slaves. The submissives are afraid to fight. They’re terrified of the dominants even though they massively outnumber them.
It’s time for submissives to toughen up. The days of cowardice are over. Stand up. The gap between masters and slaves must be bridged.
Meritocrats versus Privileged Elites.
Our world is and always has been controlled by privileged elites – the Old World Order. They have invariably been dominants who have enjoyed enslaving others. Their policy is one of pursuing relentless self-interest and passing on their wealth and power on a hereditary basis. They are all about dynastic power, stretching across the ages. They have no interest in the merits of the ordinary people. In fact, they will do everything in their power to ensure that the meritorious of the underclass pose no threat to them.
If we want a free, meritorious world, privilege must be eradicated 100% and must never again taint our world. Dynastic elites can be prevented by one extremely simple measure – 100% inheritance tax. At a stroke, the Old World Order is destroyed.
It can never be stressed enough how important it is for privilege to be obliterated. Privilege is perhaps the greatest curse of all on our world. It has shaped everything. If we want a new world, we must kill the main force that shaped the old – privilege. Privilege creates a two-tier society of the haves and have-nots. Your fate in life becomes dependent not on your own efforts but those of your parents and grandparents. If they have failed to make lots of money, you’re screwed. If they have accumulated gold bars by the barrow load, you’ve got it made even if you’re the least meritorious person on earth.
Apart from the privileged themselves – who of course love privilege – only insane people would endorse a world of privilege. Yet huge numbers of ordinary people support the right of parents to pass on wealth to children, the essential mechanism of privilege. Just how dumb are ordinary people? They have no sense at all of their own self-interest. It’s deranged to support a system that gives advantages to others and penalises you.
State versus Family.
The family is the centre of the system of privilege. The richest families have commandeered the State to serve their interests. The State should be there to act justly and equitably towards all families, not to favour the rich. The State must dictate to the family, not the family to the State.
Parents think they can do whatever they like to their children and that it’s none of the State’s business. In fact, everything is the State’s business.
Dysfunctional families create endless problems for which the State has to pick up the bill. Why is there crime, police, lawyers, courts, prisons, social workers, welfare systems etc? – because dysfunctional families can’t be anything other than a source of poison in the State. Therefore the State must do everything in its power to prevent the creation of dysfunctional families that drain the resources of the State.
The rights of the family are currently paramount, but it’s the rights of the State should be paramount. The State should operate on the principle that all citizens will be productive and make a positive contribution to society. If a family is not shaping up then the State has no choice but to intervene. There is no social contract that productive families should have to pay the bills of unproductive families. When a family starts making a negative contribution then, in effect, it puts itself in the care of the State and the State has the absolute right to sort out the problems of the family in whatever way it deems appropriate, regardless of the wishes of the family. By becoming a drain on the State, a family breaks the social contract and is no longer contractually protected from State intervention. There can never be any contractual principle that scroungers should be allowed to live off State benefits and offer nothing in return. The social contract between State and citizen isn’t a free ride for the lazy and stupid. Citizens have obligations to the State and if they cease to fulfil those obligations, the State is entitled to expel them from the State or take remedial measures.
Community versus Family.
The family is the basic unit of society, but if a family goes wrong – as a huge number do – it becomes a disastrous burden on the State. Given that so many families break down, it’s crazy to base the raising of children on this single model that frequently fails. Family should be just one choice, and there ought to be at least one other – the commune.
If you’re a child and you don’t have a healthy family environment, you’re in deep trouble. Your life is potentially ruined before it’s even properly begun. If you’re put in State care, that’s an even bigger disaster. Why? Because you’re treated as a “problem”. No one is rooting for you and supporting you.
What’s needed is a nurturing environment. A commune is the answer, but not any old commune – a psychologically designed commune. Who are the people who give you as much support as family? – good friends. Who are your good friends? Probably people who are a very good match for your personality profile and share your likes and dislikes.
In State care, a kid is thrown in with all sorts – including bullies and people of completely different personality types who wind him up and leave him feeling alienated and insecure. This is a formula for disaster. But if kids were profiled and surrounded by compatible types and compatible carers, they would form a like-minded supportive community. They would have plenty of friends and allies and feel completely secure – all outwith the context of the family.
The family fails too often for it to be the core unit of society. We must create viable alternatives and the idea of a “friendship community” based on psychological compatibility must be the best bet.
Social Capitalism versus Capitalism.
Raw capitalism has proved a catastrophe for the world. It has become the natural ally and primary tool of the privileged elite. It’s via capitalism that they exert their control over the rest of us.
Capitalism per se isn’t evil. Profits, markets, private enterprise, entrepreneurship are fine as long as they are not permitted to get out of control. Rational, controlled capitalism tied to the interests of the State rather than those of the privileged elite is a valid and desirable economic system. This is what we call social, public or meritocratic capitalism. It’s capitalism with a social dimension, a social conscious where the profit principle isn’t allowed to explode out of control.
Consciousness versus Bicameralism.
Most people in our world aren’t truly conscious. They have a veneer of consciousness over a much more primitive mind – the master-slave mind that psychologist Julian Jaynes labelled “bicameral” (two-chambered, reflecting the left and right hemispheres of the brain). In ancient times, according to Jaynes, the right hemisphere generated hallucinated voices, like those of the “gods”, that gave commands to the slavishly obedient left hemisphere (the “worshipper”).
Most people are therefore constitutionally susceptible to being slavishly obedient to “higher powers” whether they be religious, political or economic. The bicameral mind goes hand in hand with a master-slave world of domination and submission i.e. the familiar world of Abrahamism and the Old World Order of dynastic privileged elites.
We can only overcome primitive bicameralism by boosting consciousness (the modern, higher functioning mind that evolved from bicameralism). That means we have to give people a better education, and more exposure to reason and knowledge. These are the antidotes to bicameralism.
Right brain versus Left Brain.
Experiments on “split-brain” patients where the corpus callosum connective band of tissue that links the two hemispheres is deliberately severed to reduce the severity of epileptic attacks, showed that each hemisphere is capable of independent action, has different capabilities, different knowledge, personality, emotions and so forth i.e. the two hemispheres are actually two different people. In contrast with bicameralism where the right hemisphere is dominant, the left hemisphere is the dominant conscious hemisphere in modern humans. The right hemisphere is effectively the home of the unconscious and has all manner of mysterious qualities.
Humans will become enormously more powerful and aware of higher possibilities if a much closer relationship is established between the left and right hemispheres. Arguably, this decisive evolutionary transition would pave the way for us to become Gods by unlocking the latent higher powers of the unconscious and releasing them to the conscious mind. The connective tissue of the hemispheres – the corpus callosum – thus becomes extraordinarily important.
Multinational corporations versus bespoke companies.
Immense global corporations have acquired a power that allows them to dictate to governments. This is absurd. Corporations should never be allowed to get so big. Instead, capitalism should be based on small, bespoke companies integrated with local communities within countries.
Work versus Job.
Everyone should be engaged in work rather than holding down a job. Work is an activity that expresses your creativity, into which you can pour your soul.
Your work reflects who you are and you derive immense satisfaction from it. A job, on the other hand, is something you do to pay the bills. You hate it and get no joy from it. It makes you feel alienated and depressed. Capitalism offers plenty of jobs but very little work, and usually only for the privileged elite. We need a new social capitalism that’s all about work that provides fulfilment rather than jobs that alienate.
Lowest Common Denominator versus Highest Common Factor.
Capitalism relentlessly targets the lowest common denominator. It’s all about dumbing down and the race to the bottom. It targets primal drives and instant gratification. We need social capitalism that raises people up rather than casts them down. We need a “higher common factor” doctrine, one of quality rather than quantity.
Evolution versus Creationism.
The universe is all about evolution. Becoming God is all about evolution. The idea of a Creationist God makes humanity entirely dependent on him. We are his slaves. The Abrahamist religions are all about slavery to “God”. Absolute obedience is demanded. People are expected to “submit”. A Creationist God is intrinsically linked to a master-slave model. An evolutionary God and evolutionary universe is about human freedom and progress, about raising ourselves up to perfection.
Creationism is a catastrophic doctrine, and scientifically, morally and theologically false. Evolution is the truth of the universe and everything is becoming and evolving. It’s time for creationism to be consigned to oblivion, and with it will go the Abrahamist God.

The Illuminati Manifesto by Adam Weishaupt:
The Illuminati Series – Book 6/6:
Blurb:
What do the Illuminati stand for? What are their social, political and religious objectives? What are the obstacles that stand in the way of humanity fulfilling its divine potential and creating a Community of Gods?
This book provides an outline of the Illuminati’s manifesto for changing the world. It’s a simple fact that the Enlightenment failed. Only about ten percent of the contemporary world is rational.
The Enlightenment freed a group of intellectuals (scientists and technologists in particular), from the superstitions, beliefs and traditions of the past, and capitalism harnessed their advanced thinking to create immense profits for the ruling elite.
The vast majority of humanity remained stuck in the past. Look at Third World countries and the Islamic nations to see what pre-Enlightenment humanity is like. Religion defines such societies. They are irrational, hostile to knowledge, always on their knees to their “God”. They despise freedom and modernity.
The Illuminati were at the forefront of the first Enlightenment and now they are calling for a second Enlightenment that completes the job and rescues the ninety percent of humanity trapped in the past, dominated by long-dead bearded prophets who control them from the grave. There can be no, free, rational world, no Society of the Divine, until Abrahamism – the religion of the Jews, Christians and Muslims – is obliterated.
The absurd concept of karma that dominates Eastern religious thinking and philosophy must be similarly consigned to oblivion.
The third element holding back human progress is the existence of super rich privileged elites. These people aren’t just masters of accumulating wealth, they are also experts at controlling your thinking. If there are a small number of the hyper rich and an enormous number of poor, the “natural” outcome is for the poor to use their overwhelming numbers to take the riches of the elite, violently if necessary, and distribute them amongst themselves. Why don’t they? Because the elite subject them to mind control, to conditioning and brainwashing. The elite control the education system, the media, the political discourse, and they use these to shape your thoughts: to determine how and what you think.
Given the hatred of America towards communism, you would imagine that the Americans must be the world’s greatest experts on the works of Karl Marx. After all, it would be ridiculous to hate something of which you are entirely ignorant. Yet it turns out most Americans have never read one word of Marx. They hate communism because their capitalist elite – those who would lose everything in a communist State – have relentlessly indoctrinated them. The American people are like Pavlov’s dogs. They have been conditioned to hold the beliefs most favourable to Wall Street.
The Illuminati stand for education, knowledge, reason, freethinking – for understanding something before you hate it rather than just moving straight to the hating stage via the mind control of the elite.
All of the levers of control of the elite – financially, politically and religiously – are extremely well understood. It’s now time for the ordinary people to learn the secrets of those levers and free themselves from the control of the Power Elite.
The Illuminati’s manifesto is the formula for freedom. Isn’t it time for a liberated, rational world where everyone has an equal chance in life? The Second War of the Enlightenment is coming. It’s time to choose sides. You are called as a soldier to this most noble of undertakings.

A Book Review:
“This is one out of a series of books by the Pythagorean Illuminati. Every book in this series is not only excellent but also life changing. The Pythagorean Illuminati are and ancient secret society of rational free thinkers. The order was officially founded by the great polymath Pythagoras. The history of the Illuminati stretches even farther back then Pythagoras though. Before Pythagoras organized the order the Illuminati existed as a loose confederation of wandering holy men and women, mystics and esotericists. Some of the most creative geniuses in history have been members of the Illuminati, people such as: Hegel, Leibniz, Goethe, Weishaupt, Plato, Heraclitus, Empedocles, Hypatia, Simon Magus, and many others. The essence of Illumination or Illuminism, the Gnostic religion of the Illuminati, is that we are all capable of becoming goddesses and gods.
This is an organization of serious people trying to change the world into a more just, equal, altruistic, meritocratic, and rational place for EVERYONE, not just a privileged few. They seek nothing less than creating a heaven on earth, a community of the divine. If you are not interested in helping to make this grand vision a reality then these books are not for you. If, on the other hand, a better world for all is all you can think about then you have found your books. If you feel drawn towards the ideas of the Illuminati you need to read all of these books asap. You should also check out the Illuminati’s websitewww.armageddonconspiracy.c
Every book in this series tackles the most important, interesting, and challenging subjects in the world. The Illuminati have integrated mathematics, philosophy, science, psychology, sociology, history, politics, religion, and the paranormal into what scientists have been searching for for years: A Grand Unified Theory of Everything. Every book in this series is very well written. Some of the content covered in these books can be challenging but the authors are so talented they make even the most difficult information understandable to everybody.
The Illuminati (for the first time in history) are in the process of releasing their Grand Unified Theory of Everything into the public domain. This Grand Theory answers all of life’s biggest, most mysterious, and most important questions. Where does existence originate from? Was there a Big Bang that created the universe? If there was a Big Bang what caused it? What was there before this Big Bang? Is there a purpose to life? If there is a purpose what is it? What is the fundamental, underlying, “stuff” of existence? Do we have souls? Is there an afterlife? Is reincarnation or resurrection possible? Is there heaven and hell? Is there a god or goddess? Are there many goddesses and gods? Is there a devil? What about angels and demons? Where does evil come from? Are all of the paranormal phenomenon we hear about real or just figments of our imagination? If the paranormal is real what is its explanation? Is enlightenment possible? Is karma a real thing? Do any religions have any idea of what they’re talking about? Do atheists and scientific materialists know what they’re talking about? Why is this world such a miserable and insane place for so many humans and non-humans? Who is behind this misery? How do we improve this world for the benefit of all? What is the best political system to make this improvement happen? The Illuminati answer all of these questions and many more using the only thing in the world that can’t be argued or debated with, mathematics. If these questions and their answers don’t spark your curiosity and make you want to read all of the Illuminati’s books then I have know idea what will.
This book “The Illuminati Manifesto” gives a brilliant overview of the Illuminati’s social, political and religious objectives. The Illuminati stand for education, knowledge, reason, and freethinking. The book pinpoints the exact obstacles that we must overcome if we are to change this world into a just and fair Meritocracy for all, a community of the divine. It is thought provoking and important to speculate on all of the questions I wrote about earlier in the review. The most important thing right now though is to change this world we are inhabiting from the lunatic asylum it currently is into the rational and sane world we know it has the potential to be. Nothing else matters.” –BG

The Egyptian Revolution:
“The History of the world is none other than the progress of the consciousness of Freedom.” –Hegel
The 2011 Egyptian Revolution was an inspiration, right? It energised everyone across the globe to see ordinary people getting active, getting out in the streets, standing up to dictators and overthrowing them. The joys of freedom. The joys of people power. The joy of the realisation that things really can change if the people will it. Then you saw the Egyptians bowing down to Allah in their hundreds of thousands and you realised they had no freedom at all and indeed no idea of what the word actually means.
There’s an extremely simple way to tell if people are free. If they are obliged to carry out some act before they can devote their attentions to what they really want to do then they are slaves. So, the Egyptians held a mass protest to demand President Mubarak’s departure after “Friday prayers”. Prayers? WTF?! Why the hell are revolutionaries engaging in the most conventional and submissive act conceivable? Would true revolutionaries stop for prayers? What’s important? – getting rid of the dictator or getting on your knees to worship that other dictator, Allah?
Isn’t a defining characteristic of dictators that they expect everyone to bow before them? Isn’t Allah the cosmic dictator? Why get rid of a mortal dictator merely to subjugate yourself to an immortal one? Freedom 101 – free people do not worship any kind of dictator, terrestrial or cosmic. Free people do not bow, kneel and grovel. They are free NOT to pray on Friday. They are free NOT to pray five times a day. They are free NOT to memorise the Koran. They are free NOT to be Muslims. But none of that is true of Muslims. They are intrinsically unfree.
Women aren’t allowed to pray with the men, and they all have to wear the hijab. Think of the irony of a revolutionary freedom movement that can’t tolerate women praying in the company of men. Not much of a revolution then. Not much idea of freedom. Almost the antithesis in fact. The Egyptian Revolution had no leadership. The people had no clear idea of what they wanted. They knew what they were against, but not what they were for. Nature abhors a vacuum. The best organised group will take over in due course and, in Egypt, that means the Muslim Brotherhood.
The young people of the Islamic countries are trapped in a nightmare. They are the Facebook, Twitter generation, up to speed with modernity, yet they are still, at core, brainwashed Muslims, and Islam is the total opposite of modernity. They can never be free until they are free of Islam. Part of the Egyptian people’s rage against President Mubarak was a subconscious projection of their rage against Islam, but they are never allowed to express that rage. It’s the ultimate taboo, hence it exercises the greatest shadow effect. If one wanted to create a perfect brainwashing virus, infecting generation after generation in perpetuity, it couldn’t prove any more successful than Islam. Mohammed was not a prophet, he was a psychologist, a supreme mind controller. He grasped how best to manipulate badly educated, primitive, superstitious, fearful people.
No rational person could ever be a Muslim. That religion is the antithesis of reason. It asserts that a 1400-year-old book is the infallible Word of God, containing the answers to everything. If you have ever actually read it then you will understand that the only thing it contains is the key to brainwashing credulous, non-thinking people.
The key turns out to be remarkably simple. You start with a supernatural encounter – Mohammed, an illiterate tribesman, meets the Angel Gabriel in a cave and has the Koran dictated to him. This gets the mind into a suitably superstitious, credulous mode – and then it is bombarded by an unrelenting message of divine terrorism.
The Koran simply teaches that you will suffer eternal hellfire if you disobey its rules, and enjoy eternal paradise if you do everything it says. It demands that you wage jihad against infidels, kill apostates, kill blasphemers, kill anyone who breaks the rules. You must pray five times a day (thus ensuring that Islam is on your mind all day, every day). You must attend Friday prayers. You must memorise the Koran in Arabic (an immense undertaking that will take you many years, again forcing you to wallow in Islam). You must reject anyone who claims that there can be any new prophets. You must reject anyone who says that the Koran is not Allah’s final and infallible word. You must reject anything that contradicts the Koran i.e. the whole of Enlightenment and scientific thinking. (There is no science, philosophy or mathematics in the Koran – hardly surprising since Mohammed was a man of zero education.) You must eat halal food only. You must wear certain clothes (and women must dress “modestly”, preferably in a burqa). You must avoid drugs and alcohol. You mustn’t have casual sex.
The purpose of Islam is to lock you into its dictatorial vision of the world where your only task is to submit to the will of Allah. There is nothing else to it. It has contempt for science, mathematics and philosophy. The Koran is the Book of Stupidity and one only needs to take a cursory glance at Islamic nations to see that none of them is in any way associated with any serious intellectual, artistic or cultural endeavour. Muslims hate music, hate art, hate science, hate philosophy, hate mathematics, hate literature. None of these played any part in the life of Mohammed (just as they didn’t in the lives of Jesus Christ and Moses – Abrahamic prophets are invariably astoundingly badly educated, and their followers have eagerly emulated them in this regard. Did you know that Jesus Christ was illiterate?! The reason he didn’t commit a single word to paper was that he couldn’t.)
If you sign up to a stupid religion you become stupid. That’s the law of life. Islam has proved itself over and over again to be the enemy of intelligence. Intelligence has no function if your only purpose is to obey. Only superstitious primitives, incapable of rational thought, are attracted to Islam. Did you know that Muslims do not believe in chance? Everything is literally the will of God. When Muslim students learn probability theory at school, they are told they are only doing it in order to pass exams, and that the theory is actually complete nonsense. According to Islam, if a coin is tossed 100 times and produces 50 heads and fifty tails, it has nothing to do with probability, but because God wills it. And you wonder why Muslims don’t win any Nobel Prizes and why they burn books?
The Revolution in Egypt, conducted as it was within the framework of totalitarian Islam, failed to inspire. Egypt, many centuries before Islam, was one of the intellectual and cultural powerhouses of the world. The real Egyptian revolution will be the one that casts aside Islam. Tyranny is embedded in Islam, hence any revolution by an Islamic people is never a revolution about freedom. Look at what happened in Iran. A monstrous Shah was overthrown and replaced with what? – by an even more monstrous Ayatollah who proceeded to drag Iran back to the dark ages. Isn’t something similar going to happen in Egypt in due course? The Muslim Brotherhood is ready to pounce. One thing’s for certain – Egypt won’t be any freer after the revolution than it was before because it’s still in the jail of Islam.
Modern Jihadism was invented in Egypt – by a man called Sayeed Qutb. The 9/11 conspiracy was led by the Egyptian maniac Mohammed Atta. Don’t expect wonderful things from modern Egypt. In Pakistan, a 17-yr-old schoolboy may be put to death for blasphemy because he allegedly made an insulting comment about the Prophet Mohammed in an exam paper. Islam and freedom never go together. They are the antithesis of each other. The Egyptian Revolution is going nowhere. Iran congratulated the Egyptian “Islamic Liberation Movement”. That should set the alarm bells ringing for everyone else.
Never forget that, originally, Islam was simply Judaism transported in a South-easterly direction to the Arabian deserts by a pagan tribesman (Mohammed) who was well acquainted with the many Jews living in Arabia at the time. Whereas Christianity is Judaism combined with pagan Greek philosophy (making Christianity Judaism’s bastard son), Islam is Judaism’s legitimate son. Islam traces itself back to the founder of Judaism: Abraham. While the Jews proceeded from the line of Abraham’s son Isaac, the Muslims came from Abraham’s other son, Ishmael, Isaac’s half brother. The two religions have always been half-brothers.
Mohammed was aware that there was a huge gap in the Jewish Torah – what became of Ishmael and his descendants. All he had to do was say that the Abrahamic Ishmaelites were the Arabs, that they were destined to be the most loyal followers of Yahweh (Allah), and that he (Mohammed) was chosen to be the prophet who would announce the new Torah – the Koran – to the Arabs, and lead them away from the pagan gods. He saw himself as the Arab Moses, the final prophet of Yahweh/Allah. Hence Muslims are just Arab Jews, singing the same song but from the perspective of Ishmael rather than Isaac.
Imagine a world of 1.3 billion Orthodox Jews like those bearded fanatics in their silly hats and dark suits who bob backwards and forwards in front of the Wailing Wall. Islam is what that horrific vision has morphed into, and it isn’t any improvement. Christians are Greek Jews and Muslims are Arab Jews, but they’re all still Jews. In truth, half the world is Jewish, worshipping Yahweh (Satan). Western monotheism is simply Judaism. Islam is a puritanical religion, totally intolerant of dissent. You have to question the mentality of those who, in the 21st century, are willing to be part of this religion. How can anyone equate Islam with freedom?
Every epoch of history has seen a dialectical expansion in human freedom, but Muslims represent one area where the dialectic has never worked. Muslims are no freer now than they were when Mohammed first invented his Arab version of Judaism.

The Magic of Revolution:
“…the ‘strange God’ of commerce perched himself side by side with the old divinities of Europe on the altar; and one fine day threw them all overboard with a shove and a kick. It proclaimed the making of profit as the ultimate and sole purpose of mankind.” –Marx
Revolution can transform you.
Revolution can transfigure you.
Revolution can redeem you.
Make no mistake, you seekers of a better life, revolution is your salvation. Revolution changes everything. It smashes the power of the Old World Order. In revolution, a new world is born. New opportunities, new adventures, and new possibilities abound. Most revolutions are caused by hunger, unemployment, poverty, degradation, deprivation, lack of freedom. Eventually, these overwhelm fear and generate action. But revolution is also invariably accompanied by something else: lack of respect for the ruling order.
When the masters are seen to be inept, to not know what they are doing, then they are lost. And are we not now at that stage in the West? Who any longer has respect for the Old World Order who arrogantly labelled themselves geniuses and masters of the universe yet brought the world to the edge of ruin? They themselves are now suffering a profound crisis of confidence. The financial meltdown revealed that they didn’t understand their own system despite their extravagant claims to wisdom deserving of supernaturally large rewards, hence they are now incredibly vulnerable to those with a superior understanding.
The world is changing. The age of revolutions is at hand. Towards the end of the 19th century, Nietzsche, the apocalyptic prophet of the modern age, wrote: “What I relate is the history of the next two centuries. I describe what is coming, what can no longer come differently: the advent of nihilism. This history can be related even now; for necessity itself is at work here. The future speaks even now in a hundred signs, this destiny announces itself everywhere; for this music of the future all ears are cocked even now. For some time now, our whole European culture has been moving as toward a catastrophe, with a tortured tension that is growing from decade to decade: restlessly, violently, headlong, like a river that wants to reach the end, that no longer reflects, that is afraid to reflect…For why has the advent of nihilism become necessary? Because the values we have had hitherto thus draw their final consequence; because nihilism represents the ultimate logical conclusion of our great values and ideals – because we must experience nihilism before we can find out what value these ‘values’ really had. We require, sometime, new values.”
Exactly as Nietzsche predicted, the twentieth century saw Europe – the epicentre of two world wars in quick succession – plunged into catastrophe. Since the end of WWII, we have lived in a phoney and fake age where all values have been eroded. We are immersed in nihilism. Scientific materialists, the high priests of modernity, are nihilistic atheists. We have a consumer culture that worships objects and celebrities, the brass idols of the creed of capitalism. Abrahamism has split in two. Most Abrahamists are living hypocritical lives of comfort and selfishness divorced from spiritual values, while a minority have tried to replace their fading faith with fanaticism. And the contemporary religion of social networking – the cyber fakery of Facebook and Twitter – is devoid of any intellectual and spiritual content. Deep down, most people believe in nothing.
The world has never been more nihilistic, and thus it is poised on the edge of a precipice. If new values do not emerge, madness, mayhem and murder on the scale of Armageddon will descend upon the human race. The two world wars of the last century will be as nothing. Wars will erupt over global warming, overpopulation, religious divisions, lack of food, lack of water, pollution, massive disparities in wealth, conflicts of economic interests between West and East, even young versus old as an ageing population consumes more and more resources, thus denying them to the young. It’s estimated that the world’s population could be at least 9 billion by 2050. The problems we have now will be enormously magnified. Revalue all values – before it’s too late. The window of opportunity is narrow. Unless we build a meritocratic world that unleashes the genius and creativity of human beings to solve the immense problems facing us, we will be dead and buried before the end of this century. RIP humanity.
“…money-worship has been elevated into a religion. Perhaps it is the only real religion – the only real felt religion – that is left to us. Money is what God used to be.” –Orwell

The Fake Revolution:
It’s depressing to say it, but the Egyptian Revolution was fake. It was like a Hollywood staging of a revolution. It looked like the real thing, but ultimately was nothing but desperate people blowing off steam
and posing for the cameras.
Revolutionaries who chant Allahu Akbar? It’s a contradiction in terms. It would be like a revolution in Britain being accompanied by cries of, “God save the Queen!” rather than “Down with the tyrant!” These weren’t revolutionaries. They were the forces on the one hand of reactionary Islam (the Muslim Brotherhood) desiring to overthrow a quasi-secular autocrat, and on the other of young, Western influenced Muslims seeking the freedom that they imagine exists in the West (yeah, that’ll be right), but still in an Islamic context (a contradiction in terms). They had nothing in common with the French revolutionaries, history’s truest revolutionaries, who wanted to change everything, with religion as one of their primary targets.
All authentic revolutionaries have always been committed to an overthrow of the old religious structures. Without such an aim, it’s not a revolution. 18 months after the overthrow of the Shah of Iran, the Iranian “Revolution” ended up producing the most horrific, reactionary Islamic fundamentalist theocracy imaginable. There is no reason to suspect that things won’t turn out the same way in Egypt. The Egyptian people cannot be free until they revolt against Islam, and there is no sign of that. The French revolutionaries regarded Catholicism – the national religion – as the friend and ally of the establishment, and of reactionary, counter-revolutionary forces. Religion is ALWAYS the friend of tyrants, hence you cannot have a true revolution without the destruction of the existing religious order.
In psychology, “displacement” occurs when the primary target of your anger is too powerful to confront, so you displace your rage to someone else, an easier target, and take it out on them instead. In Egypt, the real issue was not about Mubarak but about Islam. It is not Mubarak and his ilk who stand most in the way of freedom, but Islam. Islam is too powerful to take on, so the people displaced their frustration onto Mubarak. But it makes no difference. The Egyptians will never be free until they are free of their unenlightened Islamic religion.
Remember the “Green” Revolution in Iran? Same deal. The young people were really trying to overthrow Islam. It was the Iranians, not the Tunisians, who really started the latest phase in Islamic Revolution. What none of them have realised yet is that it’s their religion they are rebelling against. Islam is the equivalent of the Berlin Wall – it must fall before the people can be free. The dialectic is in motion. Sooner or later, Islam itself will be the target and the long-awaited Reformation of Islam can start. The world will enjoy a second Enlightenment. Everything can change. The tipping point is not too far away now. But one thing must be said in favour of the Muslims. They proved themselves far better at using Facebook and Twitter for political purposes, for getting themselves organised to take on the authorities. Isn’t that what Westerners should be using social networking for too rather than posting endless pictures of drunk people at parties?
__________
Failed Revolution:
The military are now in charge of Egypt. Elections are promised. Big deal. Revolutions are not what they used to be. The generals are still the same. The rich are still the rich and the poor the poor. The imams are still preaching as they always did.
The people actually had no firm objective other than the removal of the President, but when he refused to go they had no Plan B. So they just stood around, hoping. Luckily, they stood around long enough and at last he went. But couldn’t they have achieved so much more having mobilised millions of people? These chances come along so rarely. They must be put to maximum advantage. If revolutionaries have no plan, and the counter-revolutionaries are equally devoid of a plan, a standoff ensues, as happened in Egypt. Mubarak blinked first because he wasn’t getting positive signals from his military. Muslims, being submissives waiting for the voice of Mohammed, the Archangel Gabriel, the Koran or Allah to direct them, are prone to ineffectual action in the absence of strong leadership. Some of the Egyptian protestors actually said it was a good thing that they had no leaders, but a Revolution without leaders and a plan is just a big crowd milling around aimlessly, as Egypt proved.
Revolution 101 – You must have a clear plan, with clear objectives, and strong leaders ready to take over right now from the existing ruling regime, not in elections six months down the line. In France in 1789, the Jacobin revolutionaries already had a complete blueprint for a New World Order – Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s Social Contract. They detested monarchy and wished to abolish it permanently. They wished to replace Christianity with the new undogmatic religion of the “Supreme Being”. They wanted to be rid of the aristocracy. They wanted to express the General Will of the people. They were talented, smart, energetic and eager to take over from the ancien régime.
If the Egyptians were like the French of 1789, they would have seized the Egyptian parliament and installed their own government, they would have attacked the President’s residence, and they would have burned down the police headquarters and the main jail. The Egyptians did none of these things, hence the Revolution faded out with a whimper. No matter that the Egyptian Revolution isn’t yet the real thing. The people who took to the streets to oppose Mubarak must still be congratulated. Hundreds gave their lives. They have put the West to shame. And they have shown that they have tremendous potential as a people. If they can overthrow Islam, they will be capable of the highest achievements. In the West, when Lehman Brothers collapsed, capitalism was ripe for overthrow, but no one acted because no one had a plan, so the ruling order was able to go on as before. That situation must never happen again.
A new government-in-waiting needs to be ready to step in. Does such a government exist? No? Well let’s create it.
__________
Dialectical Government:
One of the greatest contributions to political philosophy came from Jean-Jacques Rousseau who contrasted the “particular will” with the “General Will”. The latter promotes the best interests of the whole community, while the former allows a particular group to prosper at the expense of everyone else.
A right-wing Republican government in America will invariably cut taxes (to favour the rich), reduce regulation (to favour rich corporations), reduce public spending and the size of the state (to penalise the poor and deprived) i.e. it governs in the interests of its Republican constituency, not in the interests of all. How could anyone argue that it is governing in the interests of all when it is so nakedly executing an ideological agenda that helps the rich and attacks the poor? It is transparently government according to the particular will, not the General Will.
Gil Scott-Heron famously said, “Mandate my ass.” He’s absolutely right. No democratic government ever has a mandate. Winning an election is just that – an election victory. It’s not a mandate. Those who voted for the opposition parties aren’t suddenly supportive of the winning party just because it won. They are as opposed to it as they always were. All governments are elective dictatorships. In the UK, it is typical for the governing Party to enjoy the support of only about a fifth to a quarter of the total electorate. Up to 80% didn’t vote for them yet have to endure their “mandate”!
Political parties of any description are vehicles of particular wills, not the General Will. The central political question lies in whether there is anything that can truly reflect the General Will in a systematic and transparent way, to the satisfaction of all. The answer is an extraordinary one. Conventional politicians are by definition enemies of the General Will since they care only for sectional interests and satisfying their supporters and sponsors. Hence conventional politicians can play no part in the New Politics. Political parties must be abolished!
But we are not advocating any kind of anarchy in the new world. Rather, we will turn to the most successful endeavour in human history to show us the way forward – science.
While politics has lurched from one crisis and disaster to the next, science has produced astounding triumph after astounding triumph. Science, not politics, has brought us the advanced world we live in (materially if not spiritually!). Only the biggest fools on earth would say that the political way of doing things has proved beneficial to humanity.
We seek to replace politics with political science i.e. a new politics that takes its lessons and methods from science, thus emulating the brightest jewel in the human crown.
Science is characterised by smart people putting forward well-considered hypotheses, which are then tested by other smart people.
Data and evidence are collected to see how well they correspond to the hypothesis. The hypothesis can be refined in the light of the data, and new experiments performed. If the hypothesis is unproductive, it is discarded while if it prospers then eventually it attains the status of “theory”. A scientific theory is not something speculative and vague as many non-scientists erroneously believe. It has been successfully tested innumerable times and it takes something remarkable to overthrow it. Newtonian physics, which had been revered for centuries, was replaced by Einsteinian physics, but it was nevertheless Newtonian physics that was used to land man on the moon i.e. that’s how good and reliable it was. Einstein’s refinements to Newton’s laws only become significant in extreme situations that we don’t often encounter. Even now, we refer to Newton’s Laws of motion.
Creationists say that Darwinian Evolution is just a “theory” – but it is an extremely well tested one with an enormous evidence base. Darwinism, like Newtonian physics, will eventually be replaced, but it will still retain a great deal of validity. What’s for sure is that Abrahamic Creationism is a mad hypothesis without any evidence at all to support it and an immense amount to refute it. No scientist would ever consider Creationism a theory – it’s just a story. It’s Mythos, not Logos. Much of the trouble with the world is that “Mythos-thinkers” believe they can challenge “Logos-thinkers”. The two types of thinking have nothing in common. Scientists (Logos-thinkers) have nothing but contempt for the suggestion that the world was created in six days by “God”, the only “proof” being an ancient book of the Jews, which says so. “Revelation” isn’t fact or evidence. It’s not theory. It can’t be tested. It can be neither verified nor falsified. It’s pure Mythos. Can anyone “prove” that gods didn’t once live at the summit of Mount Olympus? There are innumerable stories and none of them can ever form the basis of any kind of science.
Creationists are Mythos-thinkers who don’t understand science. Their attacks on Darwinism amount to little more than some staring-eyed person jabbing his finger at the Book of Genesis and saying, “Hey man, can’t you read? It says right here that God made the world in six days. End of story.” Stories – Mythos – should be reserved for entertainment purposes, not for trying to understand mathematical, scientific and philosophical reality. Politicians, like religious leaders, are always spinning yarns to “sell” their message to us. We don’t need their Mythos view of the world.
There are no political parties in science. Disputes are resolved via experiments, hard data, mathematics and logic, not via speeches, rhetoric, stories and ideology. Scientists can’t vote down other scientists and dogmatically push through their agenda regardless of the evidence. No scientists have to kiss babies and shake the hands of the “common man” to get elected. They have no party position that they have to defend. In the New Politics, clever people will propose hypotheses and these will be tested and the evidence collected. The evidence will decide between rival hypotheses, not some partisan debate in Congress full of hot air and fanatical ideology. Evidence, not rhetoric, is the only valid means of testing rival policies and ideas in order to identify the most successful ones.
As an example of this process, consider this message “V” sent us.
“I have been reading this website and the affiliated website Armageddon Conspiracy for about a year and a half or more. I have really appreciated reading your writings, and enjoyed reading up on all of the concepts that you look at and address in each article. I can relate with much of what you are saying most of the time, but in regards to your idea about separating the different Meyers-Briggs types, I totally disagree. Instead of arbitrarily separating types that are already separated, I think what needs to happen is integrating the types through understanding, because Meyers-Briggs type are not static – and people can change. In different stages of my own life, I have exhibited a number of different characteristics, although I am fundamentally an introverted intuitive type. If I did not have the opportunity to try out those different aspects of myself, I would probably not function as well as I do now.
If I could set up an ideal school system, I would first teach extensively on the positive and negative traits of each of the different types. Then I would have everyone take the test.
Afterwards I would pair extroverts with introverts as an experiment. I would have them ask each other questions about why they do things the way they do, and how they would respond to hypothetical situations. Then I would have each child write a paper on how they could integrate the positive aspects of the ‘other’ type. If thinking introverts remain wallflowers their whole lives, how can they speak up and change the world if they are afraid to talk – or have not integrated positive extroverted speaking abilities? How can sensing extroverts learn to listen to themselves if they do not perceive others with that ability? The worst thing you could do is separate the different types, because they will still have to deal with each other. By avoiding the conflict altogether they will grow stagnant, and will not learn. Learning and growth often accompany strife and difference. All of the different Meyers-Briggs types should represent aspects of ourselves – if we are healthy fully integrated beings, we need to be able to don whatever mask for any situation that comes our way.
I am currently writing a children’s story about two children – one is an introverted thinker, and one is an extroverted sensing type – and throughout the story I write about why they are afraid of each other, and how they learn to integrate their differences to become a think tank extraordinaire. This has to do with the concept of the Hegelian Synthesis which you wrote about on the Armageddon Conspiracy site. Shouldn’t we create a synthesis of the different types instead of working with the extreme introverts and extroverts? Otherwise there will always be conflict, that’s why I think it’s so important to write you on this subject, because I really like where the Movement could go – but I feel like this concept that you mention in the article is dogmatic and limiting.
We replied.
Thanks for your message. We’re sure many people would entirely agree with you, so we’d like to quote your message in a future article. It gives us an excellent opportunity to discuss the dialectic in action. Thanks again. And good luck with the children’s story – it sounds great!
(The main difference between our position and V’s is that we think personality type is much more static than she asserts, and that different types do not and cannot happily rub along together. If personality type were fluid and relatively easy to change, we would have no hesitation in endorsing her stance. Indeed, her aim of producing human beings who have integrated all of the different Myers-Briggs personalities and are thus able to cope in any situation is the best possible outcome. If it can be achieved then we should certainly strive to achieve it. However, if we are hard-wired to a certain personality type i.e. our brain allows us to operate only in certain ways, then we must confront the world as we find it and not as we would wish it to be. If thinking and feeling are mutually exclusive; if you cannot be both intuitive and sensing, then V’s ambition of multi-functional human beings cannot be realised no matter how desirable it is. Jung’s project of individuation – becoming the master of every psychic component – is the same as V’s. It may be the case that it cannot be fully accomplished, but can only be approximated i.e. an intuitive person will never fully enter into the world of sensations but can train himself to be more receptive to sensations than he would have been otherwise: he can glimpse and interact with the “other” world of sensations without ever truly venturing into its heart. He will always be a visitor, never at home.)
If we were a political party with a majority, we would rubbish V’s suggestions and vote her down (because that’s what political parties do). Her ideas, no matter how potentially true and invaluable, would be dead in the water. What a disaster if it turned out she was right!
But the dialectic does not operate in that calamitous way, potentially ignoring and discarding great ideas because they do not fit the particular will of the dominant political party. There’s no need for us to have any acrimonious argument with V. We have proposed a thesis and V has proposed an antithesis – it’s the dialectic in full flow. The way forward would be to arrange tests of both hypotheses and see how they match up to the evidence subsequently collected. Maybe one hypothesis is right and the other wrong; maybe both are partially right and partially wrong, or maybe both are completely wrong. We’ll know for sure thanks to hard data, not cynical speechifying in Congress unsupported by any evidence.
Depending on the evidence, it may be possible to combine the rival hypotheses in a synthesis, which will then act as a new thesis. Perhaps both hypotheses will have to be discarded and new ones tried. The key point is that we now have a scientific process and method that everyone can see is completely fair and allows rival ideas to be heard and respected.
Every citizen, like V, will be able to propose hypotheses and have them treated with the utmost consideration. Clever citizens will be direct contributors to the new dialectical politics, not passive recipients of policies passed in Congress after “hot air” debates. We don’t need any politicians or any debates. We just need hypotheses, experiments and evidence.
Take drugs policy as an example. There are fifty States in the USA: fifty opportunities to try different approaches to drugs. You can have zero tolerance approaches, decriminalisation, complete legalisation etc in the different States. At the end of a ten-year period, the nation simply has to look at all the different approaches that were trialled in the different States and see which one worked the best. That then becomes “best practice” to be used throughout the country. See how easy it is. No emotive debates are required, no moralising, no religious opinions. All that is needed is the experimental data.
Evidence replaces rhetoric. Science replaces politics. All debates are resolved evidentially. All disputes are turned into rival scientific hypotheses and put to the test. Is that not the only sensible and rational means to resolve conflicts? All the hot air and ideology gets kicked out and is replaced by cool, calm science. No politicians are necessary, thank you very much: no pressure groups, no lobbyists, no hysterical media reporting. This new system removes all of the levers of power from the OWO and from the religious and political fanatics. Their irrational beliefs and propaganda can now be relentlessly challenged and tested.
The whole world will have a transparent, systematic method to resolve all issues. All hypotheses will be available on the internet, as will all the experimental procedures to test them, and all of the results. The world will become a global laboratory dedicated to perfecting human life and society. Plato said, “I have created the perfect republic, but where are the perfect people?” The dialectical method will supply Plato with his perfect people.
The ingredient that was missing all along from politics was none other a neutral method with which all parties could agree – a dialectical, scientific method.

The Dialectical Revolution:
We are supremely fortunate. We are living in the era of dialectical completion.
1945 – the end of fascism.
1989 – the end of totalitarian Soviet Communism.
2008 – the beginning of the end for Western Capitalism.
2011 – the end of Arab dictators.
The pace is increasing, and the internet is acting as an incredible accelerator.
The hardest dictators to topple are the unseen ones of capitalism: the super rich Zionists and Masons. They operate behind the scenes, pulling the strings of their “democratic” politician puppets. The credit crunch has done enormous damage to their propaganda that they know what they’re doing economically. Since that was their supreme claim to legitimacy, they no longer have any credibility. They are like the Emperor with his new clothes – stark naked and about to be ridiculed even by children.
After they fall, humanity’s dialectical journey only has one more hurdle to overcome – the bicameral, ancient slave religions of Devil worship. They will be replaced by new, 21st century religions of light, reason, freedom and consciousness.
The nightmare is nearing its end.
The dawn of a glorious new humanity is coming.
And we will be there to see it.

Plato’s Republic of Laws:
Plato, one of the greatest geniuses of all time, advocated that the ruling class of society should live in a strictly communist manner. None of the rulers should own any private property; they should live in common housing and share communal meals.
Whatever anyone thinks of Plato’s system, no one could accuse him of supporting a ruling class in it for their own material gain. Imagine the leaders of the present world being uniformly poor, and doing their work purely for the public good. Isn’t that real “public service”?
Plato was preoccupied with how to create a truly enlightened society. In his ideal city-state, everyone obeys the General Will and works for the common good, hence the state is a unity, free of faction fighting. All the land and property are distributed fairly and any private wealth closely regulated.
In The Laws, Plato’s last great political work, he argued that no citizen should be allowed to possess any gold or silver. Money should be based on iron. No citizen should be allowed to become any richer than four times the poorest citizen; any extra is automatically placed in a common people’s fund – the Commonwealth. No citizen is permitted to fall below a basic level of wealth set by the State.
(In relation to Plato’s suggestion that the richest people in society should be no more than four times richer than the poorest, this is now deemed too restrictive. A more appropriate figure would be anything from a factor of ten to a hundred to ensure that hard workers and creatives have a clear incentive. This figure could be continually adjusted until the optimal value is found. Remember, meritocracy is not communism – it is anti-privilege (excessive wealth used as a weapon), not anti-wealth per se. Meritocracy absolutely wants to reward high achievers for hard work, talent and creativity.)
Such laws, Plato argued, provided unshakeable stability to the ideal city-state. Greed is effectively banned. No one can become excessively rich. Plato said, “Great money-making is impossible… The hypothesis that underlies our laws aims at making the people as happy and friendly to one another as possible.”
Isn’t that the most laudable of aims, and isn’t massive inequality of wealth, power and status the main driver of dissatisfaction in our world? People become alienated from their own lives when they start obsessively comparing their relative poverty with the extravagant wealth of the super rich. They are always miserable because they are always dreaming of a life they will never have. In Plato’s city-state, distinctions between citizens are never allowed to become too great, certainly never wide enough to cause envy, discontent and conflict. Men and women are treated equally (a revolutionary concept in the time of Plato, and one that was borrowed directly from the Pythagorean Illuminati).
Plato sought a rational, just and ordered society, with virtue as its central goal. In his ideal city-state, there is no need for rival political parties. An experienced group of 37 Guardians of the Laws supervise the state. The citizens gather in a General Assembly to vote on important issues. An elected council of 360 independent citizens carry out the day-to-day running of the state and serve one-year terms. There are also judges and juries to administer the law, priests and priestesses to perform the religious functions, and generals and admirals to defend the state. Market trade is closely regulated, as are all aspects of City life.
Critics have described it as a totalitarian state, but they are entirely wrong: it’s a meritocratic state, with all aspects of city life guarded against abuse. There would have been no Credit Crunch, no excessive greed, no privileged elite, no ingrained inequality, in Plato’s utopia.
Plato’s city-state is to be a single entity – like a person – striving for its own good. In this state there are no “rival loyalties” – no political parties representing sectional interests, no factions putting their particular wills over the General Will. Every citizen’s loyalty is to the state and the common good. As Plato said so accurately, “True political art must care not for the private but the common – for the common binds cities together, while the private tears them apart.”
We live in a world of private interests. Everyone is out for themselves. The bankers – those responsible for the financial health of the economy – are typically the greediest people in the world, devoted to enriching themselves. What sane state would ever allow its banks to be in private hands and to be controlled by people who want to help themselves to as much money as they can get away with? It is the bankers and their confederates who would doubtless accuse Plato of totalitarianism – because they would be the biggest losers in a Platonic state.
Plato wrote, “Whoever leaves private things unregulated by law and believes the people will be willing to live with the common and public things regulated by laws – is incorrect in his thinking.”
This is a crucial statement. Any government that allows the private domain to be ignored in a society of great disparities in wealth is essentially supporting a society of privilege where private individuals are allowed to rig the system in their own favour. Thus an unregulated private domain invariably leads to the richest private individuals controlling the state. This is the basis of the Old World Order. The biggest enemy of privilege is meritocratic regulation that prevents privileged individuals from using their positions of privilege to exploit and manipulate the public space. When the state neglects to act in the private sphere, when it refuses to try to mould the state for the better and chooses to remain inactive, this is called “negative liberty”. It is negative rather than positive because it does not seek to promote any agenda: for good or ill, citizens are left to their own devices in the private sphere. The rich are allowed to get richer, parents to brainwash their children, bigotry and intolerance to go unchecked as long as they stay in the home etc. Negative liberty is not FOR anything; rather is about being free FROM positive liberty. Right wingers are advocates of negative liberty and the “small state”.
“Positive liberty” is where the state seeks to actively implement a vision of freedom, hence directly intervenes in the private sphere. Left wingers are proponents of positive liberty and the big state. The Illuminati’s vision of creating a “Community of Gods” is the quintessence of positive liberty. Capitalist democracy and consumerism are the supreme expression of negative liberty. You are free to shop till you drop and the state will never put any obstacles in your way. The state couldn’t care less what consumerism does to people’s minds, whether it turns them into zombies, droids and drones. The Profit Principle is all that matters. The supporters of private wealth and privilege are always those who demand that the state stay out of the private sphere. The state does indeed have no right to interfere with any private matters that have no consequences for the public sphere, but it has every right to interfere with those that do. It’s failing in its duties if it does not. Plato was buried in the Academy that he founded. Diogenes Laertius wrote, “Phoebus Apollo gave to mortals Asclepius and Plato, the one to save their bodies, the other to save their souls.”
Plato’s Republic of Laws represents a suitable dialectical starting point for a meritocratic society. America was designed not as a democracy but as a Republic of Laws. The only democratic component involves the elections of the President and Congress. America has failed to be the beacon of liberty that it was intended to be for one very simple reason – it tried as far as possible to stay out of the private sphere, and thus it allowed an immense system of private privilege to grow that now overshadows the Government, Congress, the Republic, the Constitution, the Laws, and, above all, the People.
Moreover, it gave birth to the mad anarcho-capitalist libertarians who think that government should play no role in their lives whatsoever, and that they should pay no taxes whatsoever. America is now totally split between libertarians who want no government, Republicans who want a small government, Democrats who want bigger government and left wingers who want government to stand up to the privileged elite once and for all. America is no longer a Republic of Laws nor any kind of democracy: it’s a Plutocracy – government by a rich elite, and this was allowed to happen because of America’s advocacy of negative liberty.
What is the antidote? – meritocracy and positive liberty.

Family versus Community:
“The family looks inward upon itself; there is an intensification of emotional stress between husband and wife, and parents and children. The strain is greater than most of us can bear. Far from being the basis of a good society, the family is the source of all of our discontents.” –Anthropologist Edmund Leach
Governments never talk about it, but there is actually a huge tension between the nuclear family and the wider community. The nuclear family is anti-communitarian. Houses for nuclear families are small, anti-social units where all sorts of neuroses can grow unchecked. The nature of these isolated social units is such as to create a “them and us” mentality. Families become dog-eat-dog units, ruthlessly pursuing self-interest and with no regard for community. Is this healthy? And what happens when parents get divorced and the family fragments? Because it ignored community, it now has no social network and support system to fall back on. Many such families have to turn to the welfare state instead, at great expense to the taxpayers. The present leaders of the world are creating a disjointed, fragmented, mentally ill society. There’s no solidarity, no community, no physical social networking (only the cyber variety).
The nuclear family is the sanctification of negative liberty, and any attempt by a party of positive liberty to change the world necessitates putting the family at the heart of the process of radical transformation. The three “Rebooting Laws” all target the family. You can only have a new society if you have a new model of the family.
__________
Community:
“DH” drew our attention to container housing projects and new types of sustainable, modular, flexible homes. We are in urgent need of a whole new approach to housing. Our best designers should be tasked with producing housing projects that come with integrated solar panels, wind turbines, ways of collecting rainwater, waste recycling facilities, fibre optic cabling for high speed internet access etc. We need visionary, economic, sustainable, eco-friendly community projects.
Rather than small family units shutting themselves away from each other, we need community housing that encourages sociability, cooperation and solidarity. We could allocate people to communal housing projects based on the compatibility of their Myers-Briggs personality types and their hobbies. Imagine being surrounded by likeminded people enthusiastic about the same things that thrill you rather than by complete strangers with nothing in common and with habits and beliefs that irritate the hell out of you. Where we live is one of the most important factors in our life, so shouldn’t we put a hell of a lot more care and consideration into it? Wouldn’t you like to find friends for life in your local environment? We can make it happen in a Smart Society based on psychology.
The more you are integrated with your community, the more altruistic and happier you will be. You will have friends, allies and collaborators everywhere.
One of the main aims of a meritocracy is to move society away from the dominance of a small, elite super rich ownership class – the classic capitalist model – and towards social ownership whereby the people own the means of production and benefit from the profits, which are then reinvested in the development of the people rather than being appropriated by private individuals for their own benefit.
We advocate collaboration, communitarianism, mutualism, group ownership. We advocate cooperatives and syndicates. Groups and communities should be given vastly more support and importance than rich individuals. Imagine a world where all companies are run by their workers and not by the bosses, where the workers vote on strategy, finance, who gets paid what, who gets promoted, who runs the business. In other words, we replace the current hierarchical, pyramidal model of business where the Old World Order are at the apex and where everyone else dances to their tune in a rigid, authoritarian system in which workers are forced to be deferential, compliant and docile. The new model must be a meritocratic Round Table system where the workers all take part in the decision making process, and those who have the most meritorious ideas which command the greatest support are the ones who drive the company forward.
Every worker will have a stake in the company. The more successful the company is, the more successful each worker will be. Everyone gets a just share of the profits, rather than the profits all being channelled upwards to the capitalist bosses. Everyone should love going to work, should feel valued and productive, should know that their voice will be heard and that any good ideas will be taken up and implemented.
In our capitalist world, all but the bosses are alienated from their work. We need a new world where people love their work because they experience genuine fulfilment through it. No one should be alienated from an activity that takes up a third to a half of their day. It’s folly and madness to be in a job you hate, and society should place immense effort into getting you into employment you love.

Nobel Prizes:
The USA, UK, Germany and France have won the most Nobel Prizes. Relative to the size of its population, the UK is the most successful Nobel nation. 22% of recipients of the Nobel Prize have been from Jewish backgrounds, from a global Jewish population of just 0.2%. However, none of the Jewish winners have been Orthodox Jews with beards, strange hair, funny hats and dark suits. They have all been liberal Jews and many of them were or are in fact atheists, agnostics or deists – certainly not followers of Yahweh. The vast majority have been from America. The lesson to be learned is that, in academic circles if not in its general dumbed-down culture, America provides an excellent intellectual environment for minority groups such as the Jews (and increasingly the Chinese) who have a very strong work ethic and devotion to education.
Muslims have won staggeringly few Nobel Prizes – in fact, it has been said that only three or four observant Muslims have won. The reason for such a catastrophic failure is simple. Islam is a retarded religion with utter contempt for education, intelligence and rationality. Groups such as the Taliban – the standard-bearers of Islamism – have the same level of intelligence as desert tribes of 1400 years ago. They haven’t evolved one iota. If you want to be stupid become a Muslim. If you want to be intelligent get as far away from Islam as possible. Smart people sign up to smart religions and philosophies. The most intelligent religion on earth bar none is Illuminism. Illuminism is the Grand Unified Theory of Everything. It is packed with the highest possible mathematical, scientific, philosophical, psychological and religious knowledge. The average Muslim couldn’t get past page 1 of the Book of Illuminism. That’s just a fact. It’s not because Muslims are inherently stupid – it’s because their religion makes them stupid.
There’s nothing sadder than seeing human beings cursed by primitive belief systems to live out their lives in horrific ignorance. Muslims claim that the real reason they have won so few Nobel Prizes is that there’s a Jewish conspiracy against them. There’s no conspiracy: Muslims simply never achieve anything of intellectual worth. There were brief times in the distant past when Muslim thinkers were the match of Westerners in science, mathematics and philosophy but only when they were allowed to think freely in tolerant, liberal, and enlightened regimes, all of which were soon crushed by Islamic fundamentalists who despised any hint of anything that might contradict the Koran.

The Psychological Box of Tricks:
Psychology is the study of the mind, of how we behave, of our motivations, hopes and fears. Skilled psychologists can manipulate their fellow humans, for better or worse. If you study psychology for yourself, you’ll be better armed to avoid being manipulated. You’ll instantly see through the lies of the elite. And you’ll know yourself much better.
The Old World Order utilize advanced psychology to break us. They love compliant, obedient citizens and brainless voters who don’t cause trouble. Their “system” is designed to create just such feeble citizens. We must resist the brainwashing. It’s like the deadly Kraken, surrounding us with its tentacles, and gripping us in a death embrace. Cut off the tentacles. Resist the mind control. All of our key institutions are designed to mould us into the shape desired by the elite. We need a new flexible mould that we have designed ourselves.
The education system is designed to produce fodder for the capitalist sausage machine: people who obey and never ask difficult questions. The capitalist state has no need for rebels, geniuses and heroes. The elite do not want anyone to stand up to them and challenge them for the best jobs. So, from the moment you enter the education system, you are indoctrinated about fulfilling your role in society i.e. the one that most suits the elite. You are never educated to be yourself.
Schools churn out work droids with little imagination or intelligence. They create conflict between different psychological types, allowing the dominant bullies to rise to the top (just as the bullies of the elite rose to the top).
The education system should be based on a simple set of rules.
1) Teach everyone the basics: reading, writing and counting.
2) Find out what makes every pupil tick. Direct pupils towards the areas in which they can flourish, and take them away from the areas where they will fail. Make everyone feel good about themselves. Build their self-esteem. Establish what they’re good at and give them the praise and encouragement they deserve.
3) Give them a real education: education for education’s sake, not for the business needs of the elite.
4) Identify their psychological type. Separate them from hostile psychological types and surround them with those with whom they will be friends and allies. Our society is sadly lacking in basic friendship. Teach each personality type how best to cope with opposite types, thus avoiding conflict and creating harmony.
5) Cultivate everyone’s unique talents. Treat them all as potential geniuses for whom the sky is the limit.
6) Teach pupils how to think and ask questions.
7) Teach them how to avoid being brainwashed.
8) Teach them to aim for the stars.
9) Teach them lateral and critical thinking.
10) Teach them “deconstruction”.
11) Teach them to challenge “sacred” texts.
The schools of today do not encourage creativity, general knowledge and budding genius. Learning by heart, compliance with systems/methods, doing everything by the book is the key to good grades. This sterile approach is important for your later life: shut up, work and submit to stupid laws and regulations. Some people would jump out of the window if the law demanded it.
After leaving such a school, you are a “perfect” citizen i.e. a slave of the elite’s system of control. You’re a fully-fledged member of the Matrix, and you will never want to escape. Like everyone else, you will care only about making the most money for the minimum effort. And what kind of life is that?
Universities are more of the same. More and more people flood into them, standards fall, and barely-educated people emerge, often with huge debts. They are now forced to take any job to pay their debts. More and more courses are based on what is required by “industry” (i.e. the capitalist elite). Students have been betrayed and cheated by the universities. We need a revolution in education. Television is another favourite weapon of the Old World Order.
Not only do they broadcast uncreative, dumb and useless junk to poison our minds, they also try to program our subconscious to worship key brands of the elite. We “must” have these brands or we won’t have a fulfilling life, supposedly. Goods can’t buy us happiness, but it’s amazing how many fools think they can. Many women have actually elevated shopping to the status of a religion. They worship it. It’s the purpose of their lives, their greatest pleasure. Who but a shallow consumerist could enjoy the selfish, materialistic, narcissistic shopping-fest deified by Sex and the City?
TV also broadcasts politically correct news so that we don’t ask awkward questions about why there are so many billionaire Jews and Masons in America, or they bombard us with scare stories to make us afraid so that we will turn to the elite for protection. Fear is a primary tool of control. People can’t think straight when they are afraid. They become highly suggestible. Islam makes full use of the fear of hell that torments primitive minds.
One of the best descriptions of TV is found in the radical movie Network: “We deal with illusions, man. You’ll never hear the truth from us.”
TV is excellent for promoting the ruling ideology. Ideologies are nice, neat packages for people who are too lazy or dumb to develop their own opinions. Why study complicated books, do a lot of hard research and think for yourself if you can just pluck an ideology off a shelf instead?
The top politicians know the herd mentality all too well. Political parties promote simplistic ideologies. If you buy into one, you become the enemy of the others. People start arguing with each other over nonsense, and fail to see the big picture. In Gulliver’s Travels, Jonathan Swift satirized the absurd differences between different factions by having them squabbling over which way to cut open a boiled egg. The “big-endians” were the sworn enemies of “small-endians”.
Every political party claims that all other parties are incompetent. The logical conclusion is that all parties are incompetent, and, indeed, so they are. So why do we support any of them?
Laws and regulations are created to protect the elite from us, not the other way round. They are made ridiculously complicated and presented in incomprehensible small print and jargon so that only an elite priesthood – the lawyers – can interpret them, and of course they always interpret them in favour of the elite, which was the whole point in the first place. And they take huge fees for doing so, usually at our expense. Who needs lawyers? They are pointless.
Clashes between incompatible personality types, or compatible personality types that have been indoctrinated with opposing ideologies, cause most conflicts.
We like people who behave like us, and dislike those who don’t. We can’t empathize with those who seem to operate according to different rules. We can’t anticipate their “moves”. They baffle us and make us feel anxious. If we lived in a society that was focused on helping us to understand others, all of these problems could be alleviated.
The OWO are not interested in social harmony. Divide and rule is their mantra. If people started agreeing with each other, the OWO would lose their power. They rely on conflict and the inability of people to unite against them.
The shadow – a concept formulated by Jung – is the primitive aspect of ourselves, the part we’re ashamed of and try not to think about too much. Our forbidden desires take root here. The more we try to pretend they’re not there, they more they control us. The shadow grows ever bigger. When it has accumulated enough power, it takes over, and we might commit monstrous acts.
Look at the Catholic Church’s great scandal: priests molesting children. Because of the requirement for celibacy, the priests have been overwhelmed by this denial of their sexuality, and it has erupted in the worst way. But here is an even more interesting revelation. Apparently child abuse by Catholic priests is much lower than in other religions and amongst other adults who are in control of groups of children. So, the Catholic Church, once so powerful, is now an easy scapegoat, taking all the blame when it should be spread much more widely. Isn’t it time we started holding enquiries into the levels of child abuse in all other religions? Can anyone doubt that child abuse amongst Fundamentalist Muslims, Orthodox Jews and Evangelical Protestants is on an enormous scale? Let’s get it all out in the open.
It’s healthy to have fun. In fact you should be able to do anything you like if it brings no harm to others. If religious believers were told that sex is good, healthy and fine, we would solve endless problems in society. Sigmund Freud thought that all neuroses and psychoses were sexual in origin. He may have gone too far but no one can doubt the importance of a good sex life for combating the sinister contents of the shadow. The state should do everything it can to encourage healthy, consensual sex.
