Civilization has probably for the first time in history entered a Globalized period. In ancient times and until not long before
thought and culture were independent. Old Maya civilization developed Pyramid architecture independently some few thousand
years after the Egyptians, writing was for the most part developed independently by various civilizations at varying times .
The modern period has led to mass contact, movement, cultural exchange and thought. Culture and thought has been
the most striking about this (Global Village) period of civilization.
Which has led to global ideas which are shared and interlinked, the ideals of Democracy, Scientism, Darwinism,
Capitalism and Democraratism (which is the opposite of Freedom in that the
Majority control the minority [1])
Let's ponder and reflect about some of these ideals and its possible relationship with the occult and in the formation of the New World Order. Since Atheism is probably a deep characteristic in this New World and the secular/atheist mindset.
Darwinism and Occult Satanism and the Intention for the formation of Darwinism
The Epistemology Cartel
In The Architecture of Modern Political Power, Daniel Pouzzner outlines the tactics employed by elitist to maintain their dominance. Among them is: 'Ostensible control over the knowable, by marketing institutionally accredited science as the only path to true understanding' (Pouzzner, 75). Thus, the ruling class endeavours to discourage independent reason while exercising illusory power over human knowledge. This tactic of control through knowledge suppression and selective dissemination is reiterated in the anonymously authored document Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars:
If one has any doubt with this, then let us review a statement by a colleague of Darwin, that being Aldous Huxley who more succinctly defined this epistemological cartel:
“The older dictators fell because they could never supply their subjects with enough bread, enough circuses, enough miracles, and mysteries. Under a scientific dictatorship, education will really work' with the result that most men and women will grow up to love their servitude and will never dream of revolution. There seems to be no good reason why a thoroughly scientific dictatorship should ever be overthrown.”
- Huxley, Brave New World Revisited, 116
This consciously induced paradigm shift facilitated the emergence of the elite's new theocracy. The official state-sanctioned religion of this theocracy was 'scientism': the belief that the investigational methods of the natural sciences should be ecumenically imposed upon all fields of inquiry. This form of epistemological imperialism is not to be confused with legitimate science. Researcher Michael Hoffman makes this distinction in his book Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare:
“Science, when practiced as the application of man's God-given talents for the production of appropriate technology on a human scale, relief of misery and the reverential exploration and appreciation of the glory of Divine Providence as revealed in nature, is a useful tool for mankind. Scientism is science gone mad, which is what we have today.” (Hoffman, 49)
Hoffman further elaborates on the folly of scientism:
“The reason that science is a bad master and dangerous servant and ought not to be worshipped is that science is not objective. Science is fundamentally about the uses of measurement. What does not fit the yardstick of the scientist is discarded. Scientific determinism has repeatedly excluded some data from its measurement and fudged other data, such as Piltdown Man, in order to support the self-fulfilling nature of its own agenda, be it Darwinism or 'cut, burn and poison' methods of cancer 'treatment'.” (Hoffman, 49)
and now the world saw this manipulation with the exposed climategate scandal. I don;t necessarily hold Hoffman to a high degree with regards to valid viewpoints, however I believe he was dead on accurate in these comments above when taking into consideration the events unfolding in front of our eyes in today's world
The Darwin Project
In the article 'Toward a New Science of Life,' EIR journalist Jonathan Tennenbaum makes the following the statement concerning Darwinism:
“Now, it is easy to show that Darwinism, one of the pillars of modern biology, is nothing but a kind of cult, a cult religion. I am not exaggerating. It has no scientific validity whatsoever. Darwin's so-called theory of evolution is based on absurdly irrational propositions, which did not come from scientific observations, but were artificially introduced from the outside, for political-ideological reasons.” (Tennenbaum)
Given Darwinism's roots in occult Freemasonry and its expedient promotion of an emergent species of supermen (i.e., the elite), this is a fairly accurate assessment. Charles Darwin acted as the elite's apostle, preaching the new secular gospel of evolution. Darwinism could be considered a Freemasonic project, the culmination of a publicity campaign conducted by the Lodge
The Malthusian school is the basis for the pre-modern eugenicist school of thought which has no taken the form of transhumanism and bio-genetic engineering.
Malthus authored Essay on the Principle of Population, a treatise premised upon the thesis: 'Population, when unchecked, increases in a geometrical ratio. Subsistence increases only in an arithmetic ratio' (Malthus, 6). Although Malthus articulated his observations in succinct mathematical equations, the labyrinthine and complex machinations comprising the natural order typically defy such overly simplistic reductionism. Nonetheless, Malthus concluded that society should adopt certain social policies to prevent the human population from growing disproportionately larger than the food supply.
Malthus' genocidal policies specifically targeted the poor. For instance, one of his proposals suggested the implementation of the following measures:
“Instead of recommending cleanliness to the poor, we should encourage contrary habits. In our towns we should make the streets narrower, crowd more people into the houses, and court the return of the plague. In the country, we should build our villages near stagnant pools, and particularly encourage settlement in all marshy and unwholesome situations. But above all, we should reprobate specific remedies for ravaging diseases; and those benevolent, but much mistaken men, who have thought they were doing a service to mankind by projecting schemes for the total extirpation of particular disorders.” (Malthus, 412)
Anyways, another one of the many constituent worldviews comprising Darwinism is Hegelianism which is what has become known as the Hegelian dialectic. According to philosopher Georg Hegel, a pantheistic world spirit was directing 'an ongoing developmental (evolutionary) process in nature, including humanity,' which bodied itself forth as a 'dialectical struggle between positive and negative entities.' This conflict always resulted in a 'harmonious synthesis' (Taylor, 381-2). The same dialectical framework is present in Darwinism.
In Circle of Intrigue, occult researcher Texe Marrs reveals the Hegelian structure intrinsic to Darwinian evolution. The organism (thesis) comes into conflict with nature (antithesis) resulting in a newly enhanced species (synthesis), the culmination of the evolutionary process (Marrs, Circle of Intrigue, 127). Of course, in such a world of ongoing conflict, violence and bloodshed are central to progress. Thus, Darwin's theory 'gave credence to the Hegelian notion that human culture had ascended from brutal beginnings' (Taylor, 386).
thus this electrifying dogma gives rise to the "order out of chaos" culture that the We "The Powers" have become proficiently good at. This is the practice of forming a thesis (a problem), offering an antithesis (providing a solution), and thus land at the synthesis (the desired intent of the power holders).
Is it possible to create a summary for Atheist views? Let us try :
- Denial of God
- Denial of a Universal Truth
- Tendency towards Pantheistic "spirituality" or no spirituality.
- Subjective Morality (in reality no morality)
- Scientism as Religion i.e. empirical enquiry into understanding life as "Knowledge"
i,e, Other than Empirical enquiry knowledge is automatically dismissed as Fantasy. Epistemology takes the new form.
- Hereafter/After life taken as Fantasy, Natural Spiritual inclination of the self replaced with toxic substances.
- Democracy as the ideal for mankind replacing any divinity in Law giving.

Worst form of Governance, so an exemplary Constitutional republic was formed giving unchangeable rights to citizens and i tend to agree with them. Government control and Taxation (exploitation) becomes an easy process.

Greece and Egypt
FYI: Orient = (everything except Europe)
This will be an attempt at summarising a piece by Wim van den Dungen [1]
on the Impact of Ancient Egypt on Greece and an analysis of The Greek Miracle. The last few decades a lot of revision of History has been taking place. Orientalism [*] was a book that radically changed perspectives and philosophies of the Orient, cutting down stereotypes and a book that made "Oriental" scholars look introspectively and critically in their Epistemology (the nature of knowledge) in treating the Orient. From the Greek perspective "Greece" by some scholars not seen as an isolated independent "Miracle" much to annoyance the Eurocentric's who would want that to be the case and is often propagated for much of modern history.
Since the rise of Greece correlated with the downward spiral of Egypt, Similar to the rise of Modern Europe with the downward spiral of the Islamic civilization giving birth to its successor. Little is known, and is somewhat hard to calculate quantitively, how much the Greeks
benefited from Egypt. Since the Greeks reached scribal and priest classes within Egypt and much of ancient history is from Herodotus a perspective that is sometimes biased and confusing.
Quoting Dungen "
Because of the Greek miracle of abstraction, rationality and ante-rationality were distinguished, equating the latter with the "barbaric" (i.e. coming from "outside" Greece and its colonies) or seeking the inner meaning of Egyptian religion (i.e. the wise men who studied in Egypt and later the infiltration of Greeks in the administrative, scribal class). Although the inner sanctum of the temples of Ptah, Re and Amun must have remained closed (excepts perhaps for exceptional Greeks like Pythagoras), the Greeks adapted to and rapidly assimilated Egyptian culture and its environment."
Ancient Egyptian civilization was so grand, imposing and strong, that its impact on the Greeks was tremendous. In order to try to understand what happened when these two cultures met, we must first sketch the situation of both parties. This will allow us to make sound correspondences.
"Herodotus and other Greeks of the fifth century BC recognized that Egypt was different from other 'barbarian' countries. All people who did not speak Greek were considered barbarians, with features that the Greeks despised. They were either loathsome tyrants, devious magicians, or dull and effeminate pleasure-seeking individuals. But Egypt had more to offer ; like India, it was full of old and venerable wisdom."
Matthews & Roemer, 2003, pp.11-12.
"In the first place we find the survival of Egyptian religion both within Christianity and outside it in heretical sects like those of the Gnostics, and in the Hermetic tradition that was frankly pagan. Far more widespread than these direct continuations, however, was the general admiration for Ancient Egypt among the educated elites. Egypt, though subordinated to the Christian and biblical traditions on issues of religion and morality, was clearly placed as the source of all 'Gentile' or secular wisdom. Thus no one before 1600 seriously questioned either the belief that Greek civilization and philosophy derived from Egypt, or that the chief ways in which they had been transmitted were through Egyptian colonizations of Greece and later Greek study in Egypt."
Bernal, 1987, p.121,
For those who advocate a revised Greek "Ancient Model"
"Thus, I argue for the establishment of a 'Revised Ancient Model'. According to this, Greece has received repeated outside influence both from the east Mediterranean and from the Balkans. It is this extravagant mixture that has produced this attractive and fruitful culture and the glory that is Greece."
Bernal, in O'Connor & Reid, 2003, p.29.
Ending with Dungen :
"This complex interaction between Greeks and Egyptians before and under the Ptolemies, allowed Alexandria to become a major intellectual centre, home of native Egyptians, Greek priests & scientists, Jewish scholars, Essenes and Hermetics alike."

The Last Messenger of God
There is much written about the character traits of the Last prophet of God, Mohammad (peace and blessings be upon him). From his mannerisms, conduct, military expeditions, treatment of the poor and frugal life, his illiteracy ( not being able to read and write)and many Rabbis' of the Jewish faith acknowledge the prophet hood of Mohammad (just go to YouTube and you will be astonished).
Islam has a revealed book, the Quran (often spelt as Koran), which is a "test for Mankind" in its divinity . A proof and challenge open and without doubt a miracle [1].
But still I do not want to touch on any of these areas. I want to simply highlight the single aspect of fasting of the Prophet. Since many Muslims fast in Ramadan we are all aware of its difficulty, self sacrifice and sometimes harshness Yet we see the Messenger of God constant in his fasting throughout the year. A proof of his truthfulness, sheer belief in his message and revelation.
No: 372: (Muwatta of Imam Mohammad)
"The Messenger of Allah use to fast so much that it would be said "he would not break the fast, and
would break the fast so much that it would be said, "He will not fast", I never saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) fast a complete month except Ramadan. I never saw him fast so much as he would in Sha'ban.
And they say: "O you (Muhammad) to whom the "the Quran" has been sent down! Verily, you are a mad man. (Quran, Surat Al-Hijr)

The Iraq Invasion of 2003
The Iraq Invasion of 2003
Everyone remembers the Injustice Iraq has suffered due to secularist, capatilist and imperial adventures..
The rate of aproximately 500,000 deaths , at a an average estimate, destruction of the land and it's sovereignty, honour and
pride, which are some of the hidden losers of the invasion
The deaths exceeeded that of Britain suffered during World War 2.
It would be accomodating to mention a quote from Stalin at this point, "One death is a loss, a million a statistic"
The guilty in this war in pioneering and instrumenting the war would safe to be said to be the
Politicians and Media . The Politicians just following their "usual" snake like nature and the media just chasing fame.
During this was i tended to Noam Chomsky's philosohy that all governments are the root of Evil.
What is appaling is that no matter of any compliance with the UN on weapons inspections, Britains and the US policy over the sanctions
would not of been lifted "For as long as he was in Power" through the Power of the Veto and other means [1]
Whilst it is not always good to dwell on the past, I still feel that the Media
elludes a self rightrous character in the "Us and Them Model"
But what has been forgotten? The devastation and injustice what i feel much more a devastation was the UN sanctions on
Iraq during the Sadam era. The effects of these sanctions was propably the most Cruel inflicted on a race by another set
of opressors, that of the collective of any nation who supported the sanctions. Again, Politicians, Ambassadors who all want to
enter the elite social circle advancing their credibility and status amongst the Veto powering ones. John Pilger [1] interviewed
and documented one of the heads of the sanctions committee on why he resigned due to the implementation of the sanctions.
After a country which suffered a devastatiing war with Iran was crippled after with an inefficient and dictatatroial
regime, the injustice of these sanctions must be known. It is often commented that sanctions often hit the people, rather tha nthe regime , was this the case
with these sanctions ? surely the efect of one of the most intense sanctions every to be placed on a country was applied to Iraq and to not effect
the people combined with after effects of War and depleted Uranim with an impoverished state, Was this justice of the politicians ? and Governments ?
and yet i find that the effects of these sanctions are hidden from the masses, hidden by the same people "Media" who were the speareads in getting the
Invastion of Iraq in 2003 off.
Estimates of excess deaths during sanctions vary depending on the source. The estimates vary due to differences in methodologies, and specific time-frames covered.[39] A short listing of estimates follows:
Unicef: 500,000 children (including sanctions, collateral effects of war). [2]
"[As of 1999] [c]hildren under 5 years of age are dying at more than twice the rate they were ten years ago."
Former U.N. Humanitarian Coordinator in Iraq Denis Halliday: "Two hundred thirty-nine thousand children 5 years old and under" as of 1998.
"probably ... 170,000 children", Project on Defense Alternatives, "The Wages of War", 20. October 2003
350,000 excess deaths among children "even using conservative estimates", Slate Explainer, "Are 1 Million Children Dying in Iraq?", 9. October 2001.
Economist Michael Spagat: "very likely to be [less than] than half a million children." He claims that these estimates are unable to
isolate the effects of sanctions alone due to the lack of "anything resembling a controlled experiment".
"Richard Garfield, a Columbia University nursing professor ... cited the figures 345,000-530,000 for the entire 1990-2002 period"[45] for sanctions-related excess deaths.[46]
Zaidi, S. and Fawzi, M. C. S., The Lancet (1995, estimate withdrawn in 1997):567,000 children.
Editor (then "associate editor and media columnist") Matt Welch,[47] Reason Magazine, 2002: "It seems awfully hard not to conclude that the embargo on Iraq has ... contributed to more than 100,000
deaths since 1990."[29][46]
Former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark: 1.5 million (includes sanctions, bombs and other weapons, depleted uranium poisoning).[48]
Iraqi Baathist government: 1.5 million.[29]
Iraqi Cultural Minister Hammadi: 1.7 million (includes sanctions, bombs and other weapons, depleted uranium poisoning)[50

Our indebtedness to the Islamic civilization (HP Chief)
A great summary from an excerpt of a speech .... i thought it was well summarized and to the point ....
We are Often Unaware of our Indebtedness to the Islamic Civilization, says Hewlett Packard Chief
POSTED: 27 RAJAB 1422, 15 OCTOBER 2001
Carly Fiorina, the CEO of Hewlett Packard, recently gave a speech defining the relevance of leadership in today's world. Here is the quote from the final part of her speech.
"I'll end by telling a story.
There was once a civilization that was the greatest in the world.
It was able to create a continental super-state that stretched from ocean to ocean, and from northern climes to tropics and deserts. Within its dominion lived hundreds of millions of people, of different creeds and ethnic origins.
One of its languages became the universal language of much of the world, the bridge between the peoples of a hundred lands. Its armies were made up of people of many nationalities, and its military protection allowed a degree of peace and prosperity that had never been known. The reach of this civilization's commerce extended from Latin America to China, and everywhere in between.
And this civilization was driven more than anything, by invention. Its architects designed buildings that defied gravity. Its mathematicians created the algebra and algorithms that would enable the building of computers, and the creation of encryption. Its doctors examined the human body, and found new cures for disease. Its astronomers looked into the heavens, named the stars, and paved the way for space travel and exploration.
Its writers created thousands of stories. Stories of courage, romance and magic. Its poets wrote of love, when others before them were too steeped in fear to think of such things.
When other nations were afraid of ideas, this civilization thrived on them, and kept them alive. When censors threatened to wipe out knowledge from past civilizations, this civilization kept the knowledge alive, and passed it on to others.
While modern Western civilization shares many of these traits, the civilization I'm talking about was the Islamic world from the year 800 to 1600, which included the Ottoman Empire and the courts of Baghdad, Damascus and Cairo, and enlightened rulers like Suleiman the Magnificent.
Although we are often unaware of our indebtedness to this other civilization, its gifts are very much a part of our heritage. The technology industry would not exist without the contributions of Arab mathematicians. Sufi poet-philosophers like Rumi challenged our notions of self and truth. Leaders like Suleiman contributed to our notions of tolerance and civic leadership.
And perhaps we can learn a lesson from his example: It was leadership based on meritocracy, not inheritance. It was leadership that harnessed the full capabilities of a very diverse population–that included Christianity, Islamic, and Jewish traditions.
This kind of enlightened leadership — leadership that nurtured culture, sustainability, diversity and courage — led to 800 years of invention and prosperity.
In dark and serious times like this, we must affirm our commitment to building societies and institutions that aspire to this kind of greatness. More than ever, we must focus on the importance of leadership– bold acts of leadership and decidedly personal acts of leadership."

We are Often Unaware of our Indebtedness to the Islamic Civilization, says Hewlett Packard Chief
POSTED: 27 RAJAB 1422, 15 OCTOBER 2001
Carly Fiorina, the CEO of Hewlett Packard, recently gave a speech defining the relevance of leadership in today's world. Here is the quote from the final part of her speech.
"I'll end by telling a story.
There was once a civilization that was the greatest in the world.
