The Road to Tyranny



Where will it end if you don’t ask WHY?

More destruction, crime, murder, misery and corruption have been committed in the name of 'Obedience' than anything else on this Earth.

Whether it be stealing sweets from the corner shop because you want to impress your mates to partaking in acts of genocide.

You may think you would never succumb to such brainwashing – think again!

Millions upon millions of thoroughly decent people have!

Perfectly ordinary, loving fathers were turned into monsters by the astonishing manipulation used by Adolf Hitler before and during World War II. And if you think you could never be persuaded to commit acts that are totally against your nature go and do some homework on the Nazis - it’s horrific.

Hitler is widely accepted as being one of the greatest masters of rhetoric in modern times, he was also a master of manipulation. He would prepare relentlessly for every speech, and even have photographs taken of himself to ensure he achieved the most effective posturing. He would build elaborate sets to create awe when he spoke, he would start a speech gently and build up to a crescendo. It's fascinating and chilling.

Normal, law-abiding citizens; average, sane, balanced folk committed the vilest acts upon fellow human beings in the name of obedience. They justified their actions by committing their crimes in the name of the Motherland. They genuinely believed they were acting totally unselfishly and for the good of their nation.

And they were only the latest in a long history of hideous acts perpetrated 'in the name of' someone else's idealism.

So you don't possibly think this could happen in your country in this modern age?

How to Manage Genocide

Your Prime Minster/President/Monarch appears on the six o’clock news tonight and announces: "all pensioners are becoming too much of a burden. Shoot anyone over the age of sixty. Go to your nearest police station or military base and collect your weapons."

There would be pandemonium wouldn't there? Conventional, reasonable people would not stand for it ... would they?

I can absolutely, positively guarantee that a small percentage of the population would murder on the orders of that first broadcast – the weak-minded conformists and the psychopaths!

But that vast majority would find the notion repulsive and there would probably be some sort of coup.

Now, if the leaders and spin-doctors carefully choreographed a programme for culling old people over a long period of time, many, many ordinary, everyday citizens would be compelled to commit acts of brutality ... Eventually!

You don’t think so?

The old are getting older and Governments are having to think seriously about pension provisions. It's a real headache working out how to keep and support a massive, 'non-productive' (their words, not mine) section of society. Why not just get rid?

1. First and easiest to turn could be the younger generation on social benefits. If their payouts were taken away and given to the old, resentment would rapidly turn to anger and bitterness. It's not a difficult step to channel that umbrage towards a logical solution - "Just kill em all and the problem will go away!"

2. If Council Tax/Housing Taxes were multiplied tenfold to pay for new old folks homes, resentment from middle classes would soon turn to anger and exasperation...

3. If schools and hospitals were run down by those in control of the budgets to make way for better facilities to nurse the elderly, resentment throughout the social hierarchy would turn to anger and then...

4. With the Government’s anti-aged propaganda broadcast through every facet of the media, and with it’s consent, a large proportion of the population would go on to kill - GUARANTEED - the old folk would not stand a chance. Over a period of time and through clever misinformation the general consensus would become: "The standard of living was deteriorating because of the drain on resources by the old and infirm - the growing taxes were being levied simply to keep those who no longer contributed to society in comfort, let's all make the problem go away."

Old people; people who had given tirelessly to The Machine all their lives, they would be ostracized; they would be run out of town ... hung, drawn and quartered if necessary (if you want to understand brutality look up the phrase).

You think a Government couldn’t possibly have the power to orchestrate this daft scenario, especially in modern times?... Think again!

The place: Rwanda in Africa. It could be a thousand places in a thousand times.

I’m using an extreme case here in order to illustrate how easily manipulated people can be.

Extreme? Yes, but sadly true!

All citizens are manipulated to some extent by The Machine and when you understand what it is up to you will be able to protect yourself and your families.

To be forewarned is to be forearmed.

Two tribes, Tutsis and Hutus lived in relative harmony, side by side for hundreds of years in a poor part of the world. There was a history of tension between the tribes and apart from the usual political fighting and guerilla groups, the general citizens got along well enough with each other.

In the late eighties a majority Hutu Government was installed and in its infinite wisdom, decided that the Tutsis were no longer to be a part of Rwandan culture. This unbelievable policy became ratified!

The Prime Minister did not go on the news that evening and announce that it was now an obligation for Hutu citizens to turn against their neighbors; to kill men, women and
children, for if it did there would have been uproar - the people wouldn’t do such an abhorrent thing.

The Machine had to employ all its powers of manipulation. To begin with it targeted a vulnerable, naive youth culture via its trendy radio station to deliver the message of death ... sound crazy?

Very subtly at first, but over a period of time it was made ‘fashionable’ to hate thy neighbor, especially if they were Tutsi.

Over a few years the indoctrination seeped into all areas of social hierarchy and some of the most barbaric massacres you could imagine ensued because the locals had been 'manipulated' into believing they were doing the 'right thing'. They never, once stopped to ask - WHY?

Women and children were hacked to pieces and burned in their churches by their neighbors ... why ... because they were told it was the right thing to do!

This scene has been played out thousands of times throughout history and none of the perpetrators ever stopped for just one second; never took just a single step back and asked 'why' - Remember Yugoslavia? (You should!).

Of course, this is all a bit far from home isn't it?

Parts of Africa have a lot of catching up to do with the modern world. There is a vast history of tribal warfare and Yugoslavia, a communist relic, carried a lot of baggage from the second World War. You'd think it would be impossible in this day and age for Machine manipulation tactics to work in the west ... wouldn't you?

One word: Iraq!

I have no idea what the real motives behind the invasion were, probably oil and big business, but one thing's for sure, it wasn't to save the West from "imminent obliteration by weapons of mass destruction!"

My God, The Machine played us like pieces on a chess board. Even I, with all my knowledge of the powers of manipulation was fooled, suckered, played like a hooked fish. Politics, a profession in filth, deceit and lies ... I can't forgive the politicians for that.

Sure, there may have been a compulsive argument for toppling Saddam but we should have been given the facts and more importantly, THE TRUTH - after all, these people are supposed to represent us ... aren't they?

To kill, bomb and maim innocent men women and children; to dehumanize them as 'collateral damage', to send thousands of troops to the slaughter on a lie, is indefensible.

It has been estimated that more women and children have died during the conflict from bombs, bullets and depleted uranium than the blast at Hiroshima!

But here again read what I have just written' we should have been given the facts and more importantly, THE TRUTH'

Although, in an ideal world you would expect to have the right to expect 'to be given the truth', reality is, you'll get nothing of the sort from The Machine.

Ok, there is a terrorist problem; there's always been terrorists and always will be! Go after them by all means, but don't use 'The Terrorist Threat' as a cover for an ulterior, hidden agenda.

And worse, don't get taken in by their lies, these people were acting with the consent of the supposed majority (something else they fiddled!). We'll never know the truth and it matters not because as long as we accept that fact, we can get on with our own lives as best we can.

What I find even more astonishing is the fact that the two most deceitful people of the twenty first century were voted back into power!!!

Ok, they are gone or going now but none of it makes sense to me. Surely there are enough honest, decent people out there who have their eyes open. Or maybe I'm wrong and the whole world has their eyes wide shut ... and their ears!

Surely, if you send your armies into war to attack and kill other people in their own country, in their own homes and the basis of that invasion is fundamentally flawed, then surely that's first degree murder, isn't it?

And if the soldiers all asked 'why?' there would be no wars!

What would have happend if our grandparents had not fought the second world war?

Look what they all fought for: freedom, truth, honour ... how do you think the dead would feel about what they gave the ultimate sacrifice to protect; how do you think they would feel about life today?

What would have happened if the world hadn't born arms and killed each other? Would we all be speaking German, carrying identity cards, being monitored, bagged and tagged?

But of course they had to fight because there was a direct threat to home and life especially if you were Jewish.

Is that the case today?

Are there real and direct threats to our lives?

These are questions, please be aware of this - questions designed to open your mind.

We are being asked to believe Saddam gassed the Kurds - maybe he did but it has been said that it was the Americian Government that supplied that gas!

We are also being asked to believe that Saddam is now dead!

Is this Saddam Hussein?


A photo of Saddam while he was still in power; note the fine dental work.

Is this Saddam Hussein?


In contrast to the dodgy dental work on this Saddam Hussein. Quite simply these men are not one and the same individual but look-a-likes, no more.

Is this Saddam Hussein?


A flashback to Saddam Hussein - or one of his many doubles - while he was still holding the reins of power in Iraq.

Is this Saddam Hussein?


Fast forward to Baghdad and the man Coaltion authorites allege is Saddam Hussein - or more likely one of his many doubles - remonstrating with the judge during his sentencing. Again, note the contrasting dental work.

And who the frig are these blokes?

And the question should be asked, not where is Osama but WHO is Osama!

And wadyarekon about this?

Who's the daddy?

OR

Who knows?

Anyway, as I said, I have no answers and even less desire to get bitter and twisted about all this. There is a lot of 'wrong' in this world and not a lot an everyday guy can do about it. Unfortunately, lies, deceit, murder and misery are facts of life and have to be accepted if you want to get on with YOUR LIFE. Very little is 'fair' and if you try to fight this reality, you'll be sorely disappointed.

The point of all this is to illustrate how that single word can make such a difference in your life: WHY?

It’s far easier to obey and conform, than to question authority which is why those in power often find it easy to obtain the sanction of the populace.

An experiment was carried out on a fairly empty train (this was in the sixties). A man would go up to people who were traveling and ask for their seat although there were clearly empty ones close by.

Of those asked, 30% asked ‘why’ and moved. A further 20% just moved.

The experiment was done again, only this time the man was accompanied by another in railway uniform ... and you know what? ... 100% of people gave up their seat without question!!!

Where can this human compulsion to 'conform' lead?

How would you feel if this guy sat next to you on a plane?

Doesn't bear thinking about does it!!!

Dark, menacing eyes, murderous intent, assassin's hands. There's no doubt; no doubt at all that this guy is a cold-bloodied, heartless killer seething with rage and hate for all that is unholy. He's ready for jihad and longing for martyrdom

If this guy boarded the plane and took the spare seat next to you, you'd be at the very least apprehensive and at worst, downright worried wouldn't you?

So where has all that fear come from. Have you personally had a bad experience with a chap who looks like a terrorist? (If you have I'm sorry for that, there really are bad people ... but only a very tiny minority).

Let me tell you right now The Machine has been at work for years in your life, ironically using the very same blunt instruments as the Rwandan government used to fulfill its agenda of genocide.

We're running scared of anyone remotely brown and 'a-rab' looking!

Deeply imbedded in human nature is the innate reaction to run or fight anything it fears. If a dangerous animal starts killing people, despite the fact they decided to settle in its hunting ground, it's tracked down and exterminated.

This is because the villagers will not live in fear unless they have no chioce. They are unable to run so they'll fight the danger.

So many species have been hunted to extinction simply because we decided to move and live in their back yard.

Now extrapolate that out to our new age.

The big bad viper in the closet is the Muslim!

Why?

Are they better or worse than any other neighbor?

Are they worse than the black gangs in most inner cities who mug, rape and intimidate?

Are they worse than the Neo-Nazis who beat up anyone without a skinhead and swastika tattoo?

Are they worse that the so called modern gypsies; travelers who take over any available playing field, trashing it, wreaking havoc and burgling suburbia?

Are they worse that the Irish who bombed, maimed and murdered innocent people in the name of freedom; Irish killers who are now sat in parliament?

"Those damn Muslims, they hate us westerners" ... don't they???

Well don't they?

We know they do because images of deranged Afgans, Iraqis, Iranians, Pakistanis, and a whole myriad of arab looking cultures burning effigies of western leaders and western flags and wailing anti-Western hate are blasted at us twenty four seven. Every time you watch the news (Central Indoctrination Agency) you're told they hate us, the papers (Central Indoctrination Agency) tell us so, you hear it on the radio (Central Indoctrination Agency) , see it in the films (Central Indoctrination Agency); it's everywhere - They hate us don't they?

OR

Are they angry that their lands are being invaded, raped, and exploited?

Are they desperate and afraid of the bullets, cluster bombs, mines, clubs and batons?

Are they just a little miffed that their friends, cousins, brothers and uncles are being torn from their beds in the early hours, taken to safe houses and tortured? Or worse, taken from their countries and flown half way round the world to be dressed in orange jump suits and placed in kennels?

Are they heartbroken because their women and children are dying; their newborn are deformed thanks to radiation poisoning from deplete uranium?

Are they feeling just a little pissed off right now?

But they hate us don't they?

Here is an email that purely by coincidence, dropped into my in box as I was writing this section:

'Allah or The Lord Jesus Christ

The Muslim religion is the fastest growing religion in the UK.

Last month I attended my annual training session that's required for maintaining my prison security clearance. During the training session there was a presentation by three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths, who explained each of their beliefs.

I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to say. The Imam gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam, complete with a video.

After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers.

When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Imam and asked: 'Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world and, that by killing an infidel, (which is a command to all Muslims) they are assured of a place in heaven. If that's the case, can you give me the definition of an Infidel?'

There was no disagreement with my statements and, without hesitation, he replied, 'Non-believers!'

I responded, 'So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith so they can have a place in heaven. Is that correct?'

The expression on his face changed.

'Yes.'

I then stated: 'Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine Pope Benedict commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith or Dr. Stanley ordering all Protestants to do the same in order to guarantee them a place in heaven!'

I continued, 'I also have problem with being your 'friend' when you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me! Let me ask you a question. Would you rather have your Allah, who tells you to kill me in order for you to go to heaven, or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to heaven and he wants you to be there with me?'

You could have heard a pin drop.

Needless to say, the organizers and/or promoters of the 'Diversification' training seminar were not happy with Rick's way of dealing with the Islamic Imam and exposing the truth about the Muslims' beliefs.

In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters. To elect a government of their choice, complete with sharia law

I think everyone in the should be required to read this, but with the Liberal justice system, Liberal media and the political correctness madness, there is no way this will be widely publicised.

Please pass this on to all your e-mail contacts.'

mmmmmmm! It sure looks like they hate us, every single last rotten one of them!

I recently took the kids to see the Pyramids in Egypt - it's just a short overnight trip from my house in Cyprus so one sunny evening we boarded the ship and enjoyed the sun sea and cocktails as we sailed south.

Cyprus incidentally is, at the time of writing, the only country I am aware of in Europe with an illegally occupying force.

In 1974, for various reasons, Turkey decided to invade. One night thousands of troops dropped from the skies and began killing and evicting from their homes innocent Cypriots.

A short war ensued before the UN stepped in and negotiated The Green Line. This is the Berlin Wall of the Mediterranean, a border that splits the island in two. It runs right through the middle of Nicosia and several villages dividing families, businesses and lives.

The only country in the world that recognizes Northern Cyprus, a de facto Turkish protectorate is Turkey and there has been immense pressure over the years to hand back the land to the Cypriots and pull out the 35,000 troops based there. It hasn't happened and it's quite a complicated story.

However, the point of my mentioning it is that it's yet another example of the 'real' story not reflecting what were told.

Turkey recently entered into talks to resolve the occupation because they wanted to join the European Union and as Cyprus was already a member they would veto the application until Turkey withdrew. This was all going well until Cyprus announced it has known about a huge oil field to the south of the Island!

And by all accounts it's a biggie! Eight billion barrels of crude oil worth about $400bn.
So, Turkey decides that a share in the oil is better than a few grant handouts from joining the union and send in their warships.

And that was that!

Now it appears that Turkey and Cyprus are to open the borders next year in an amazing turnaround. What nice people! But! - it appears that all is not what it seems
.
From what I've been told (and that's all I have to go on) the gesture of goodwill is nothing of the sort and Turkey hasn't suddenly decided the eight billion barrels of crude isn't worth fighting over!

Take a look at Turkey on Google maps and you'll see that it just happens to border that axis of most evils du-du-duuuuuu ... Iran and iraq!

And Cyprus just happens to be just a jaunt in a fast boat to du-du-duuuuuu ... Syria!

And who would benefit most from Turkey falling in line and joining the EU and UN? du-du-duuuuuuuu!

The Machine!

But we don't get told that do we? it's all smoke and mirrors, we can rely on very little of what we see and even less of what we hear!

One fine day in the middle of the night,
Two dead boys got up to fight,
Back to back they faced each other,
Drew their swords and shot each other,
One was blind and the other couldn't, see
So they chose a dummy for a referee.
A blind man went to see fair play,
A dumb man went to shout "hooray!"
A paralysed donkey passing by,
Kicked the blind man in the eye,
Knocked him through a nine inch wall,
Into a dry ditch and drowned them all,
A deaf policeman heard the noise,
And came to arrest the two dead boys,
If you don't believe this story’s true,
Ask the blind man he saw it too!

Anyway, Egypt! A few hours after setting sail we were woken at some ungodly hour in Port Siad and herded out at great speed to the awaiting coaches.

We were rushed past the two armored pick up trucks bursting with sweat stained, ragged, cigarette smoking soldiers nursing AK47s (big mother fuck off machine guns to those who were wondering!) to our awaiting carriages.

Fifteen coaches, fifteen swarthy body guards with mac 10 machine pistols poking out of their suit vents

A glance to the rooftops revealed yet more lookouts watching for any 'car bomber' racing in our direction.

Looking to the back to the coach queue were two more armored pick up trucks bursting with sweat stained, ragged, cigarette smoking soldiers nursing AK47s

We took our seats and set off. As we left the guide told us a little about the notorious traffic jams, but we weren't to worry as they wouldn't affect us ... it soon became clear why!

Imagine this: Every single side road on our route was blocked by sweat stained, ragged, cigarette smoking soldiers nursing AK47s.

For the next three hours we travelled the motorway and every slip road and turnpike was blocked by sweat stained, ragged, cigarette smoking soldiers nursing AK47s.

We neither passed or were overtaken by a single vehicle other than armoured protection on the whole journey. We passed through numerous road blocks where, unnervingly, AK47s rested on the gun turrets at just about head hight nursed by sweat stained, ragged, cigarette smoking teenagers!

We passed huge camps in the middle of the desert where hundreds of tanks were readied and waiting for conflict.

Every road junction has a monument to war.

Here's some fun holiday snaps!

Tanks in the desert - Oh what fun!!!

Homage to war and death

Sweat stained, ragged, cigarette smoking soldiers nursing AK47s blocking the side roads

More sweat stained, ragged, cigarette smoking soldiers nursing AK47s at one of the many road blocks - Joy! That's us on the coaches. If you look carefully you can see a gun barrel sticking out of the armoured pick up pointing right at baldies head!

As we arrived in Cairo the armed escort peeled away ... but we were still safe!

Every hundred yards along our route was a gun turret housing sweat stained, ragged, cigarette smoking soldiers nursing AK47s resting unnervingly at our head height!

On that journey we passed through many villages and do you know what?

Without exception we were greeted with smiles and waves. The kids ran alongside beaming up at us, the old grinned and the women gave their acknowledgments.

We were shepherded through the ancient wonders of the world (a must do before you die), lead round the museum where Tutankhamun's treasure took away your breath (a must do before you die), piloted along the Nile for lunch, grilled camel and traditional dancing then driven on into the tourist shops.

And do you know what?

We were always greeted with civility and hospitality.

Now that could be because they were after our money or under strict orders from the men in black with their machine guns! OR it could have been genuine. It all felt fairly genuine to me.

What surprised me more than anything about Egypt, that areas off the tourist trail, was the absolute, down and dirty, adjective poverty. Most of Cairo appears to have been hit by a huge bomb at one time and the rubble has been thrown back up to create homes.

Between these barely standing constructions are open areas of waste landfill. The rubbish of the poor being picked over by the poorest of the poor. It's staggering to imagine that people actually live like that. But they do.

And what is even more astounding is that when you look to the roofs they are literally covered in satellite dishes. In fact there are so many it could be said that the national flower is a satellite dish!

In fact, I've been to several really poor places.

Thailand has it's fair share of slums yet atop most every tin shack is the ubiquitous satellite dish.

From the shanty towns of Africa to the Favelas of Brazil, look to the roofs my friend and there, sitting atop, ready to beam in the latest 'message' is The Machine's most powerful and effective weapon!

As I tried to digest the sight ... BANG!

I was clubbed round the back of the head with a baseball bat, metaphorically speaking!

They don't hate us, they're jealous and frustrated of the West. There they are with so very little every night watching us with so very much. It has to hurt!

Imagine watching old episodes of Dallas on the history channel dreaming about what life could be like.

So yes, there is probably some animosity towards the West but do they really hate us? I don't think so. I think they hate the soldiers sent in to kill them by western leaders but the average guy on the street has little hate of the average guy on our streets.

If there is a problem now I feel it has been created by soldiers not asking why? I feel that the justification for invading, they "they hate us so we're gonna damn well do something about it" has generated resentment. But that matters not because the real play is been made in the dusklight.

The fear is being whipped up.

Reality is often very different from the images we're fed; images and indoctrination for a purpose, a realization and mobilization of a alter agenda.

What that would be I really don't know, but the next time the bloke with the dark skin and sunshades boards your plane and until you seem him trying to light the fuse in his shoe, ask yourself this:

Is he really an evil, crazed madman ready to slaughter all on board, or is he simply visiting relatives, family, friends or business associates ... much like most others on the plane?

Milgram Experiment
Obedience to Authority

The Milgram experiment was a famous scientific experiment of social psychology. It was intended to measure the willingness of a participant to obey an authority who instructs the participant to do something that may conflict with the participant's personal conscience.

The experiments began in July 1961, a year after the trial of Adolf Eichmann in Jerusalem.

Milgram devised the experiment to answer the question: "Could it be that Eichmann and his million accomplices in the Holocaust were just following orders? Could we call them all accomplices?" (Milgram, 1974)

Milgram summed up in the article "The Perils of Obedience", writing: "The legal and philosophic aspects of obedience are of enormous importance, but they say very little about how most people behave in concrete situations. I set up a simple experiment at Yale University to test how much pain an ordinary citizen would inflict on another person simply because he was ordered to by an experimental scientist.

Stark authority was pitted against the subjects' [participants'] strongest moral imperatives against hurting others, and, with the subjects' [participants'] ears ringing with the screams of the victims, authority won more often than not. The extreme willingness of adults to go to almost any lengths on the command of an authority constitutes the chief finding of the study and the fact most urgently demanding explanation."

The experiment was simple:

The experimenter (E) persuades the participant (S) to give what the participant believes are painful electric shocks to another participant (A), who is actually an actor. Many participants continued to give shocks despite pleas for mercy from the actor.

Subjects were recruited by newspaper ads and direct mail to participate in a study at Yale.

The subject was introduced to another person whom they thought was also a recruit, in fact, they were part of the experiment. The subject was given the title of 'Teacher' and watched as the colleague 'Learner' was wired up to an electrical device. At this point, the 'Teacher' and 'Learner' were separated into different rooms where they could communicate but not see each other. The Teacher was placed in front of a weird device with switches and corresponding voltage labels and it was mentioned in passing that the Learner had a problem heart condition.

The Teacher was given a 45-volt electric shock from the generator as a sample of the shock that the Learner would supposedly receive during the experiment.

The Teacher would then ask the Learner some simple questions and when a wrong answer was given the Teacher would administer a shock in compliance with the instructions of the authority figure 'running' the experiment.

The voltage increasing by 15 volts with each wrong answer. The subjects believed that for each wrong answer, the Learner was receiving actual shocks. To add to the authenticity, a tape was played of him screaming. In reality, there were no shocks.

After a number of voltage level increases, the actor (Learner) started to bang on the wall that separated him from the Teacher. After several times banging on the wall and complaining about his heart condition, the Learner gave no further response to the questions and made no further complaints.

At this point many people indicated their desire to stop the experiment and check on the Learner. Many test subjects paused at 135 volts and began to question the purpose of the experiment. Some continued after being assured that they would not be held responsible. Some subjects began to laugh nervously once they heard the screams of pain coming from the Learner.

If at any time the subject indicated their desire to halt the experiment, they were given a succession of verbal prods by the experimenter, in this order:

1. Please continue.
2. The experiment requires you to continue, please go on.
3. It is essential that you continue.
4. You have no choice, you must continue.

If the subject still wished to stop after all four successive verbal prods, the experiment was halted. Otherwise, it was halted after the subject had given the maximum 450-volt shock three times in succession!!!

In Milgram's first set of experiments, 65 percent (27 out of 40) of experimental participants administered the experiment's final 450-volt shock. That's sixty five percent of normal, sane people administering a potentially lethal shock, simply on the instruction of a stranger who appeared to hold a position of authority!!!

Six years later (during the height of the Vietnam War), one of the participants in the experiment sent correspondence to Milgram, explaining why they were 'glad' to have been involved despite the apparent levels of stress:

"While I was a subject in 1964, though I believed that I was hurting someone, I was totally unaware of why I was doing so. Few people ever realize when they are acting according to their own beliefs and when they are meekly submitting to authority. ... To permit myself to be drafted with the understanding that I am submitting to authority's demand to do something very wrong would make me frightened of myself. ... I am fully prepared to go to jail if I am not granted Conscientious Objector status. Indeed, it is the only course I could take to be faithful to what I believe. My only hope is that members of my board act equally according to their conscience..."

The Blind Leading The Blind!

Soccer Hooligans in the UK and Europe, as a group, are evil, mindless thugs each a willing participant in a common, futile cause - violence for the sake of violence. They reap havoc because someone, somewhere said it is the thing to do at a match. These people (if that's not too decent a tag to place on them) do not question that philosophy, they are merely brainless sheep. Everyone has an overwhelming need to belong to a group; any group, and it matters not in certain situations, if that group’s motivation is to terrorize.

Take one of these sad specimens out of the pack and as individuals they are, in my experience, weak, simple and pathetic. They gain their strength from numbers and that’s as far they are prepared to analyze their actions. If they were to question WHY they go out on a Saturday and commit thugary; if they were asked to examine the reasons for mob disorder, they wouldn’t have a clue other than "it’s a laugh".

The pay off for the hollow, shallow yob with no personality of its own is the sense of security derived from belonging to a group of like-minded individuals. Even though the collective cause is negative the group as a whole all think the same way and usually follow a leader.

There are hundreds of groups across the world where the common cause has been diluted and in some cases lost in the fact that many of the recruits simply want to belong.

Charles Manson persuaded members of his cult to go out and slice open a pregnant Sharon Tate, a Hollywood star, killing her, her unborn child and friends. What’s even more incredible is the reason for the crime. The twisted cult followed Manson and believed in his bizarre doctrine - they never asked why? Charles Manson persuaded his followers that the end of the world, as we knew it, was nigh.

He preached that there would be all out war between the blacks and the whites. Eventually, the whites would win and Manson would come out of the desert where he had been in hiding to avoid the violence and take his rightful place as leader of the new order.

He told his followers, many of whom were impressionable girls from disturbed backgrounds, that they could reach paradise through a cave underneath Death Valley where they could stay until black people, due to their innate inferiority, relinquished their power. He preached that when they all returned to Earth, he - Jesus Christ - would lead them as the fifth angel (the other four angels being The Beatles).

The problem he had was that the war would not start on its own. Manson claimed that the black people needed to be shown how to kill, as they were too stupid to work it out for themselves. Listening to Beetles records he became convinced that the band were secretly sending him subliminal messages to instigate Armageddon - so he obeyed, the followers followed!

Cult members took orders from Manson, went out and murdered totally innocent people ‘without question’. They killed white, affluent members of the L.A. Jet-Set and attempted to make it look like a racial attack by black people. The aim was to prompt retribution by the whites and so on and so forth, leading eventually, he predicted, to the annihilation of the black race.

Manson was a crazed maniac. It would appear that he preferred life inside institutions. At one point, as he was due for parole, with his aunt ready and willing to care for him, a teenage Charles was found sodomizing another boy with a razor blade held to his throat.

Manson was paroled aged nineteen and soon married a waitress who bore him a son, Charles Jnr. He soon re-offended, however, and on his release from prison in California began a new career as a pimp.

His next crime was to con a young girl out of $700 before drug-raping her roommate. For this he served time in a penitentiary in Washington ... Nice man eh!!!

This is a man who wielded great manipulative power.

Thankfully, Charles Manson’s plan failed. It failed because the authorities read right through the deception and saw it for what it was - a sick attack on good, innocent men and women. Yet, if you were a member of the cult (there were 30,000 of them!) and you were on the inside looking out, the sermons made sense; the cause justified the crime.

No member thought to question what was taught. The frightening part is that these cults are still alive today in various guises and are stronger than ever.

The New Religion: Omniscience

Consider this: Omniscience is a religion; a philosophy that sets you free. It's the religion of knowledge and freedom. It's the religion of money and it's ability reward you in this life.

It's ok to be rich, it's good to be free and not have the social burdens shackling you down.

It's a religion of self-confidence and belief in your own abilities. You are quite capable of telling right from wrong - you do not need a nanny state or guru to lay down strict rules and regulations to follow and punishments if you don't; you are wise enough and able enough to lead your life free of the social conditioning rammed down your throat from birth.

Money is good; cash is king and you don't need to die to see paradise - it's here, now, right outside your front door. Mother nature, the lakes, the mountains, precious moments. Watching your children playing on the newly laid lawn you've been able to afford because of your hard work.

Paradise is the joy and warmth you feel when you fall in love for the first time; untainted, unconditional love. It's the sunset, the moonrise. It's the exuberant, blissful times spent with good friends. It's dancing, it's laughing, it's crying and arguing ... and making up! It's winning a race or finally achieving a goal you've set.

It's rain on a cloudy day; it's thunder and lightening, it's the pure adrenalin rush of sailing through a storm hundreds of miles offshore. It's the huge waves crashing into a shingle beach; it's the stars on a cloudless night. It's wales and dolphins; it's lions and tigers, it's life in the undergrowth ... it's patterns in the white sand you make with your toes on a golden day.

Heaven is the smell of your unborn child, that infant smell a mother carries; tears shed as it takes it's first breath.

How can life in another place be any better?

And if your life is bad now, you're in a place you don't want to be, then do something about it because when you take a little action you'll discover almost instant gratification.

I don't believe in life after death and if there were, it wouldn't be a better place, a better life than this life now.

Omniscience is a real religion based on actual, Earthly experiences, facts and rewards and you have control over how you practice it. Live your life the way you feel is right, not how others would have you live it.

If you feel that you need more than one partner and those partners are happy with that, it's not a bad thing. After all, we are animals and it's not a natural state to live with one partner forever. The fact that you do, against your instincts, is due to the social codes laid out for you by others. No wonder there are so many unhappy people and divorces.

I you want to live in a warm, happy 'conventional' marriage, that's fine also, it all depends on what your inner voice wants, the one that doesn't lie. The one that says "no, not really" as your physical voice is saying "yes" when your partner in your failing relationship asks if you still love them!

Do whatever makes you happy in your relationship, you won't be turned away at the pearly gates if you go against others' moral values because there probably aren't any and you certainly won't live in eternal damnation if you masturbate!!!

I love a good wank in the morning!

The only statute I'd like to suggest is that you stick to is this: To always strive for very best you can achieve in all and everything that you do.

There is no place for badness in Omniscience and since you are setting your own boundaries you'll all interpret that differently, I'll leave that up to you but am confident that we all know the difference between right and wrong.

Go spread the word; share Omniscience with others and you'll be rewarded right here, right now.

Rule #1

All this may seem a contradiction from what I have been asking you to do over the last couple of months - Stick to the rules, don’t break the rules, don’t try to re-invent the wheel ... hopefully, you are far enough down the road now to understand that those requests served a purpose.

There is only one rule and here it is carved in stone for you:

There are no rules, only situations. You need to discover which ones are good for you.

You will only achieve this by asking WHY and in doing so, you will ensure that conforming for the sake of it is but a distant memory.

You are developing now into a stronger, more aware, confident person. When I ask you to do something, ask: ‘WHY?’

Become aware of why you are being asked to do it - don’t do it simply because I say so (as if you would!).

If you ask the question and then agree that what I am asking is the best thing for you ... Do it!!!

If you ask WHY and come up with a better way ... let me know!!!

We are still preparing ourselves for the journey towards Total Personal and Financial Freedom at this stage. Lashing everything down ready for the imminent storm. If you are at a point where you feel you don’t need this preparation think about this: Those with whom you are sharing the methods, secrets and techniques of the world’s masters of wealth do!

A Shot of Confidence
