‘The Ascendancy of the Scientific Dictatorship’ is on my reading list.

Last night, a book advert pointing to the Amazon page of the above-mentioned title prompted me to open the description page and then read not only the blurb but also some of the reviews written by people who purchased the book. With phrases such as ‘criminal elite’, ‘a weapon against the masses’, ‘eugenics and population control’, ‘religious engineering’, ‘other futurist variants of the elite’s occult religion’ peppered across the book’s summary, there is little doubt that ‘The Ascendancy of the Scientific Dictatorship: An Examination of Epistemic Autocracy, From the 19th to the 21st Century’ belongs to those highly demonised works which explain the world through a ‘conspiratorial’ angle. However, I am particularly interested in the book’s apparent claim that ‘neoconservativism [is] a continuation of technocracy and Jacobinism’ and that transhumanism and what the book describes as ‘singularitarianism’ (I suppose the particular version of transhumanism espoused by people like Ray Kurzweil and maybe even Yuval Noah Harari) are ‘futurist variants of the elite’s occult religion’. Finally, I am really very curious as to what type of evidence ‘The Ascendancy of the Scientific Dictatorship’ is able to offer to back its contention that there is an ‘unfolding endgame between scientific dictatorships’. The book-reviews are rather positive, even if two of the Amazon reviewers claim that this study was poorly edited. Nevertheless, I have added this title to my reading list – even though I have yet to decide whether or not to make it a ‘priority item’.  Finally, I came across this title from a book advertisement posted here, an article I stumbled upon through the following Internet search string (https://swisscows.com/web?region=iv&query=parallelism%20ceremonial%20magic&offset=10) as I was trying to find further evidence that what has been happening to us since at least March of last year is the direct consequence of some ceremonial magic performed in a London stadium during a planetary event televised in July 2012.

‘A lie in the soul’

As a university student, I took an oral examination on some of D.H. Lawrence’s works. This means that there was something I had deemed sufficiently attractive in his writing and Weltanschauung to prompt me to spend an inordinate amount of time reading and thinking about some of his novels. Incidentally, The Virgin and the Gipsy was also the first literary work I taught as a relief (or substitute) English teacher while I was still a university student – even though this title had been picked by the teacher on sick leave I was replacing, not by me. Yesterday, the following excerpt (taken from Richard Aldington’s 1932 introduction to D.H. Lawrence’s Apocalypse) struck me as particularly perceptive in the light of the ‘Great Reset’ our societies are going through and its intended outcome (which is to merge humans with machines) – a Satanic project from start to finish. This short passage is found on pages xxxiv to xxxv of the English edition of Apocalypse (published by Martin Secker in London in 1932):

     I like the distinction between science and machinery, because to many persons science is the machine; when they talk of the “marvels of modern science” / they mean airplanes and wireless and electric light. But machinery is only a by-product of true science, which is the search for an abstract something called the Truth. But since “the Truth” does not exist, Lawrence, like Remy [sic] de Gourmont before him, is quite justified in calling it a death-product. This cult for “Truth,” the most abstract of kakodaimons, withers the vital impulses, so that mankind is reduced to the pitiable belief that we live by bread alone—taking bread as symbolical of commodities. To this lie, which is indeed a lie in the soul, Lawrence cried, “‘Better lack bread than lack life.”

Rudolf Steiner did indeed say this.

I do not know much about Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925), the German-speaking philosopher and lecturer who founded a spiritual movement called anthroposophy. However, several times have I come across references to quotes ascribed to him which, in retrospect, appear to have been highly prescient. In some cases, Rudolf Steiner’s foreknowledge of what would happen several decades after his death can only be described as extremely uncanny. On Sunday, I came across a quote of this kind whose veracity I felt compelled to ascertain. True enough, this quote (read aloud by an American homeopathic doctor) had indeed been taken from one of Rudolf Steiner’s many lectures – in this case, a lecture delivered in the German city of Stuttgart on 11^th July 1923. It reads as follows in that tongue:

In der Zeit, als es keine elektrischen Ströme gab, nicht die Luft durchschwirrt war von elektrischen Leitungen, da war es leichter, Mensch zu sein. Denn da waren nicht fortwährend diese ahrimanischen Kräfte da, die einem den Leib wegnehmen, wenn man auch wacht. Da war es auch nicht nötig, daß sich die Leute so anstrengten, um zum Geist zu kommen. Denn wenn wir hineinkommen in uns, kommen wir eigentlich erst zum Geist. Daher ist es nötig, heute viel stärkere geistige Kapazität aufzuwenden, um überhaupt Mensch zu sein, als es noch vor hundert Jahren war.

Rendered in ungraceful (i.e. rather literal) English, Rudolf Steiner’s quote reads as follows:

In those days when there were no electrical currents, when the air was not buzzing with electrical wires, it was easier to be human. Because in such times there were not always these ahrimanic forces that take away our body once we are awake. There was no need for people to make such an effort to approach the spirit. Because when we get into ourselves, we actually only come to the spirit. That is why it is necessary, to be human at all, to expend far stronger spiritual capacity today than was the case a hundred years ago.

Obviously, there is much more to this quote than the few lines above. Hopefully, I shall be able to demonstrate this by providing a transcript of the clip where I heard this quote being read aloud. So please bear with me.

‘Silence is golden’, they say.

For some reason, I have been unable to post anything for over half a month now. It is certainly not for a lack of topics to write about. In fact, there are dozens and dozens of subjects I would like to be able to develop into blog entries a little more than a few lines long. So what is holding me back then? Although I hate to have to admit this, it is fear of the consequences. The nightmare we are experiencing right now is what I have been describing to myself (i.e. in the seclusion and thus safety of my own private thoughts) as Neo-bolshevism (or Bolshevism 2.0). You see, I studied Ancient, Mediaeval, Contemporary as well as Diplomatic History at Geneva University. So I harbour absolutely no illusion as to where all of this is heading. Instinctively, I have made mine the adage that ‘silence is golden’. Yet I also know what Burke said as well as I can recall what the apostle James ascribed to Jesus: ‘Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.’ (James, 4:17, KJV).
