Every good story has at its core, a basis of truth. Commonly held truths help people relate to one another by giving us common knowledge to share and compare.
Stories are what happens when truth morphs, metamorphosises.
One truth might have dozens of different versions, repeated, embellished, simplified and altered by different narrators. When we hear a specific version of truth, repeated by many different sources, we tend to believe it, accepting it as The Truth.
The unchanged, unaltered story reinforces itself with each telling, until it becomes accepted. The Truth.
This story has at its heart, the core of a truth.
We have to guard our minds, protecting our versions of truth from the same truth containing small changes, possibly introduced deliberately, in order to sway our belief in a particular direction. To make us think in a particular way. To favour a specific version, the purpose of which we are ignorant.
Forget about beauty and all that, it’s just a misdirection, eye of the beholder stuff.
Analyse everything; consider, think deeply about everything you see on TV, read in the papers or hear on the radio. It’s a given that anything put on the internet by uncredited sources is a lie; false news, misdirection, propaganda, at best it’s conspiracy theory – but these stories can be entertaining, interesting and informative, especially when they have a core of common truth in them, surrounded by facts or factoids. The fallacy of ‘if this then that’. Deception comes in many forms.
We think the age of the Earth is vast, around 4.5 billion years, plenty of time for different species to rise to civilisation before that civilisation collapses into chaos. Many times over.
I’m reminded of the old archaeologist joke.
A group of archaeologists digging a site, come down, at thirty feet, to a streaky green layer. “Traces of copper! This civilisation had a telephone system!” they say.
Another group of archaeologists, digging nearby, dig down to a layer at fifty feet containing strands and tiny beads of silicates. “This civilisation communicated by fibre-optic cable!” they claim.
A group of archaeologists beside them keep digging and at a hundred feet down, come to a layer containing nothing. “This civilisation,” they exclaim, “had mobile phones!”
We know of course, because Darwin told us, that the further back in time we go, the closer to the chimp we get. Australopithecus – Lucy, and her contemporaries. They couldn’t possibly have been intelligent. Stories telling any other theory of evolution are banned; laughed at, ridiculed, called into question by orthodoxy and established tradition. By dogma around a kernel of truth.
The causes of societal collapse in antiquity are irrelevant, but I wonder. Is the mechanism of collapse similar for all of them? Manifestations of malign influence?
Many of the world’s oldest belief systems tell us of polarity in the Universe, in life, rendering down, at the most basic level, to positive and negative. Like the electrical system we all know about. This polarity seeks balance, see-sawing one way then the other, like a pendulum swinging back and forth. It makes sense to think if a force for good seeks to dominate, it has to overcome the force for chaos, and vice versa.
Whatever one person has, there will be another person wanting the same, and willing to take it. The most fundamental possession is personal freedom.
Somewhere in the lost past of this planet, a family grew, a family with the need to control everyone around them. These people were so weak and insecure, they needed control. Control gave them the false impression they were strong, not weak, especially when they could use other people to execute their wishes, in exchange for favours and protection from the family.
People in general are basically intelligent and use that to achieve their goals, fulfil their desires and meet their needs. Intelligence shows us that breeding with other intelligent people of like mind will lead, statistically, to intelligent offspring. Controlling the breeding of people around them, this family ensured, almost by accident, that no people were born with the intelligence to challenge them. This was the beginning.
Through travel; word of mouth, random encounters, droit du seigneur (In early medieval Europe, the right of droit du seigneur, contested by later historians, extended to the Parish Priest visiting and directing his flock. As detailed in ‘Montaillou. The Promised Land of Error’ by Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie), observation and introductions, this family produced and, over generations, married into other families, producing dynasties. Wealthy, controlling dynasties we might, today, call royal. Born to control. Rule.
Since pre-Sumeria, these early dynasties have been long lived, producing more family than there are countries for them to rule. The first Egyptian Dynasty came out of Mesopotamia. Through a system of feuding and take-overs by local warlords, barons and earls, the control system stabilised leaving legitimate rulers in every country that mattered – those rich with natural resources.
These dynasties are still long lived and co-ordinated. Recognising themselves and their ilk by signs and iconography, they have preserved their own history, culture and identity, they have also concealed themselves and the influence they have on our world – which they now see as theirs. They are separate from the mass of humanity on the planet having had millennia of practice being what they have become.
Ruling effectively means giving populations figureheads with whom they can identify. The English Civil war is an example of the defeated king, his barons, earls and lords, promising to change; taking the civil war leaders away for talks, quietly slaughtering them and returning to the people with what is now our system of democracy. Our true controllers are never seen in public for what they are. One family dynasty on the planet is the most powerful; their name is known but they are never seen, never make headlines or media content. Figureheads change frequently but the orders they are given to implement and execute, do not.
Businesses have become the route to control in our time. Transnational corporations control much of our lives by dictating the services we will use. We know the figureheads of some of these corporate controllers. But the shareholders, owners and masters, often are other corporations, companies, businesses including international and private banks, private equity firms and all global organisations, about most of which, populations have no knowledge.
A business is an entity with rights and responsibilities defined and protected in law.
A business can develop its product/products to bring to market for the benefit of its owners and consumers/customers in order to make a reasonable profit. Fashion and trends are inventions of marketing departments. Companies never release a product from R&D without having the next three or four, or more models, ‘must haves’, ready for market. That’s why the latest model of anything is superseded soon after release.
But not all products make it to market. A few products may be multi-purpose, dual function and be dangerous to the health and well-being of the public. Or simply too useful for the developers.
The general public will never hear about many useful products invented by Research and Development departments of businesses large and profitable enough to employ R&D experts. Generally speaking, the larger the company, the more it will spend on product development. Some of these are requisitioned and nowadays, more likely, sold to Governments for national defence and national security, placing their use far beyond the citizenry who will learn about them when deployed against populations.
Ideas and products of R&D units in every company are jealously guarded secrets, protected as intellectual property.
Have you heard of the Hanebu? Developed, built and tested in Germany of the 1930’s.
The largest corporations on the planet, in every field of endeavour, spend billions of dollars, pounds or whatever is the local currency, inventing, developing and never releasing to the public, their products, technologies and ideas. Operating in strict secrecy bestows great power to the holders of technologies. Before his death in 1995, Ben Rich, the CEO of Lockheed Skunkworks, one of the biggest defence contractors on the planet, was asked how far ahead of the rest of humanity his company was in terms of technology. He replied with a smile, on camera, “We have the ability to take ET home.” Another answer to a similar question previously was, ‘Think of the cutting edge of technologies you are aware of. We are about 70 years beyond that.’ He died soon after.
Any group of people with advanced knowledge and technologies they refuse to share with the rest of humanity on the planet, are setting themselves apart from humanity. Such a group of people would be wealthy beyond imagination because of what they know, using the knowledge to enrich themselves, giving the transnational corporations they own even more to spend on R&D, control measures and narrative. These multi-multi billionaires can buy anything; world media, world water, world energy, countries – Anything.
This group of people are a Breakaway Civilisation, separate from the rest of the planet. The planets jailers. Holding humanity in contempt for being lesser.
The story of this breakaway civilisation is similar to the narrative of the Terminator movies with Arnold Schwarzenegger; on steroids, without Hollywood spin skewing the concluding emphasis.
You don’t have to like it. You don’t have to believe it. This is a story, like all others and you are free to put factual information together in a way that is acceptable to you, but I sincerely hope you enjoyed it.
