I have been watching Netflix with my daughter. I liked the charming French production Lupin, about a master criminal who only takes from those who deserve to lose ill gotten gains. I didn’t care for Kaleidoscope. Too much gratuitous violence. We are now watching Peaky Blinders. Again, too much violence and silly haircuts. What these stories have in common is elaborate schemes that the brilliant mastermind uses to manipulate people to achieve his ends. I think this is the message from the powers that be to us, the masses, that you are to be manipulated by the elite masterminds.
So who are these elite masterminds? I recently had lunch in Brussels with an old colleague. He now works for one of the major pharmaceutical companies in the world. We laughed at the strategy changes his CEO has implemented. Basically, corporate strategy just follows trendy fashions like women’s hemlines (Hemlines and History: What Skirt Lengths Reveal About Societal Change – Maves Apparel). In his case it is the chase for the artificial intelligence holy grail. Last year’s big thing is now to be forgotten, the projects are canceled and much of the staff is laid off. I have seen similar behavior in my own working life. So the class of corporate CEOs (except maybe the bankers) are not the masterminds, they are simply middle managers.
Consider this fantastic interview of Jordan Hall by the Calvinist pastor Paul VanderKlay (Jordan Hall’s Awakening to the Meta-Crisis, Game B, and his Incarnational Approach in Christianity (youtube.com)). He is a fascinating character going from tech startup millionaire, mixing in elite circles, to Christian convert in a small North Carolina community. Hall explains his first inkling of the Wizard of Oz character of the world by the dissonance he felt as a five-year old between McDonald’s commercials and the reality of the happy meal experience. His key insight was that the adults went along with the lies. His description of his passage through life where this early experience was repeated over and over again is a must see. His take on the elite, including Nobel prize winners and billionaires, is priceless (at 1:04:10): “Not a quality of distinction here, mmm, just a midwit meanness is very much to the point. They’re highly motivated, reasonably, adequately amoral, midwits; oftentimes with relationships. By midwits 120, somewhere. [sic]”
So do the elite masterminds exist at all? Are the conspiracy theories true? My intuition tells me the answer is a qualified yes. The real elites are obsessed with eugenics inspired power grabs flowing from deep set arrogance and pride that reach Old Testament levels of sin (The Pride of Babel and the Praise of Christ | Desiring God). Recent posts around the internet provide some context and detail (They Break Every Family, Every Country – LewRockwell, They Are The Dark; We Are the Light – by elizabeth nickson (substack.com), Epstein Eugenics: The Plan to Seed the Human Race (substack.com), The End Game – all the way from Dubai! (odysee.com).
But my qualification is that they are not masterminds. They have a simple approach: lie, buy and homicide. They come up with rather ridiculous, often stupid narratives (e.g., central banking and climate change), the lie to manipulate the masses. And with their inconceivable wealth they buy up the influencers to promote the lie, and if a person fights back and will not accept their bribes and intimidation, they readily fall back on homicide. That’s it, repeated over and over again.
In this little post I make no attempt to be convincing, only to pass along my own intuition on diverse observations. Certainly, the more of us in the masses who recognize this pattern of behavior, the greater the chance we can resist it. Especially note that as human beings these guys are simply sinful humans, no super race despite of their beliefs and goals.
