The reboot of Bond with Casino Royale in 2006 marked a new era for the now second biggest film legacy in history (now surpassed by Harry Potter).  Bond was revamped in a new, slick way, beginning with the first of Ian Fleming’s stories, Casino Royale.  The film differs slightly from the novel, but only in details.  However, the esoteric associations and “conspiratorial” elements have changed, coming more into line with an overall archetypal narrative that is evident in the three newest Bonds.  Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, and Skyfall, are replete with alchemical and death-burial-resurrection motifs.  This differs from the novels, which are more simplistic, although the novel Casino Royale does mention Manichaean dualism.

Casino Royale is about Bond’s transformation from a standard agent into a heartless killer.  The film begins with a flashback to Bond attaining “00″ status, meaning he has killed twice.  In a way, the entrance into Bond’s full-fledged assassin status functions as his initiation.  Indeed, the three films function as a process of Bond’s own psyche being alchemically “purified” to let go of all his attachments, attaining what might be called in the Greek ascetic tradition, apatheia.  The dross of Bond’s desire for a woman to complete him is his weakness in Casino Royale.  Bond has killed twice and made “00,” but he still desires emotional fulfillment in the opposite sex.  But in M’s mind, Bond must learn a crucial lesson: he cannot trust anyone, not even her.

Thus, Bond’s “00″ status was attained through the ritual sacrifice of two criminals, leading to the confrontation of Bond’s own internal weakness: his shade, embodied in LeChiffre, and ultimately in Vesper Lynd.  In this way, we see yet another link between the world of secret intelligence work and the religio-mystical-esoteric as has often been mentioned in my essays: Not only do both traffic in hermetic information, both are structured hierarchically to include grades and degrees that one ascends after various tests, trials, and sacrifices.  Just as a hierophant was once a neophyte, so too must Bond ascend from the role of agent to “00,” reporting to his “Mum,” the enigmatic and matronly M, played by Dame Judi Dench.  If anyone doubts this, recall that Ian Fleming was steeped in esoterism and comparative religion, as well as running numerous intelligence operati0ns for the British Naval Psy Op division.  Ian MacIntyre in For Your Eyes Only and Philip Gardiner in The Bond Code delve into these issue in more depth for those interested.

Following the introductory montage of Bond and a lot of playing cards, LeChiffre is shown funding “freedom fighters” in Uganda.  Presumably these are communistic freedom fighters, as the history of such movements in Africa and Latin America were associated with Soviet support.  This does fit with the novel’s picture of LeChiffre, since LeChiffre worked for SMERSH, the Soviet anti-spy agency.  I wrote concerning LeChiffre in my Casino Royale novel analysis:

Mads Mikkelsen plays LeChiffre, with the bleeding left eye.

Mads Mikkelsen plays LeChiffre, with the bleeding left eye.

“In the beginning, however, Bond is not after SMERSH, but a wealthy, disfigured rogue who stuck out on his own and created a “fifth column” from SMERSH, named LeChiffre.  LeChiffre translates as “the cypher,” letting us know more is at work here.  LeChiffre, according to Bond writer Ian MacIntyre, was based on British Satanist/occultist Aleister Crowley.

Science Confirms We Fringe: Who Runs the World?

Look, see how the globe is become a pretty shiny ball of progress through innernetz!

Look, see how the globe is become a pretty shiny ball of progress through innernetz!

But the “elite” TED speaker still can’t use the “C” word (not cunt)

By: Jay

First, watch the TEDtalk lecture at the bottom, “James Glattfelder: Who Runs the World?”  If you recall, this study mentioned in the below lecture was going around the web, especially on “conspiracy” sites, a year or so ago.  What the study shows is the relationship between the ownership of shareholders and corporate networks.  Now, while you think we live in a “free market” system under capitalism, the study shows we absolutely do not.  In fact, this interpretation of the data is the siren song we fringe thinkers and researchers have been saying for years.  The speaker is right that perhaps the international data in relations to systems analysis has not been analyzed before, but his conclusions are old hat to us in the reality community.

The conclusion is that the transnationalist entities are linked and basically run the world.  The influence of the shareholders amounts to running the planet through maintaining the controlling shares of the top companies.  146 top players thus can control half the world’s wealth and resources.  To point this out is not “communism,” since I have shown numerous times that “communism” and “socialism” are not real movements, though the anti-establishment energy they channel is very real.  Communism and socialism are control mechanisms to divert anti-establishment furor into movements controlled by the transnationalist/globalist interests the TED talk speaker mentions at the bottom.  The speaker also fails to mention that all these top “TNCs” are behind the speakers who frequently appear on TED talks, like Bill Gates and Al Gore.

But keep in mind, they are not capitalists.  Capitalism always takes the blame for the machinations of entities that want to stamp it out.  These entities are not, strictly speaking, socialist, either.  Gore and Gates, for example, are billionaire monopoly capitalists that openly intend on imposing a Fabian technocratic socialism for the masses, while ensuring privatization for those at the top.  For the bottom 99%, regulations, laws, rules and bureaucratic red tape are marshaled to shut down any and all competition, while those at the top are above any and all laws.  In essence, we are under the worst system imaginable for 99% of the globe.  99% of the populace still cannot figure out that their whole spectrum of existence has been weaponized to rid them from the face of the earth.  Even the TED talk pseudo elites are unable to figure out the British model of divide and conquer eugenics that still runs the world.  I have tried and tried and tried to hammer this home to friends and readers, yet few have caught on and prefer the Matrix.

The corporations the speaker mentions are actually the source of the modern Green Movement, originally an “anti-capitalist” strand of communism that descends from Marx and Engels who were the first to write about the supposed “alienation” of man from nature through technology and private ownership of property.  A connection can also be made here to Darwin, since Marxism was based partly on partly Darwinism, yet minus the Anglo racial superiority.  The “alienation” of man from a state of pure nature and equalitarianism was supposed to be reconciled through the proletarian revolution, leading to the stage of universal state communism prior to libertarian freedom through the withering away of the state (in classical Marxism).  However, in our day all of this has morphed into the monstrosity we see today: corporate socialism, or fascism.  There are no longer any nation sates, only subsidiaries of the Tyrell Corporation and the Umbrella Corporation.

Romanian Writer Ninel Ganea Interviews Jay’s Analysis, Pt 2

Adam and Eve become empiricists.

Adam and Eve become empiricists.

Romanian writer, philosopher, and member of the Von Mises Institute, Ninel Ganea interviewed me concerning my own thoughts surrounding a variety of issues.  Ninel runs Karamazov.ro  and is posting the interview in 3 installments.  Below is part 2.

Part 1 here

Part 3 here

You mentioned somewhere you were in between Orthodox Judaism and Eastern Christianity. Can you tell us what some of the strong and the weak points in these traditions?

These are complicated issues, but being raised with an interest in church and having a long interest in biblical theology, the Torah, prophets and wisdom literature had a profound effect on me. In my long religious trek, I basically got the point where I felt that there could be a divide with the Law and the New Testament. I’m the kind of person that is willing to question my own assumptions constantly, so I was willing to take a look at Judaism, especially since there is a close connect between the Kabbalistic view of the sephiroth and the Eastern Orthodox view of the divine energies. They are essentially describing the same things.

I branched out into reading Maimonides and modern Jewish writers, as well as looking at comparative liturgies. I also and found a lot of challenging material in Dr. Philip Sherrard, Maximos Confessor and Fr. John Romanides that led me to again look at the issue of Neo-platonism and the Trinity. The question that arose for me was, is this all derived from Hellenism? I’m not saying I have the answer to all that, I’m just saying what arose in my mind. At what point is the New Testament a radical departure from the Torah? How much continuity is there, really? I basically took these matters on for myself.

More recently, I’ve reexamined a lot of St. Maximos Confessor’s works, which have a lot of parallels with the kabbalists in regard to the macrocosm-mircocosm view he takes of the Incarnation. There is a strong argument to be made here for his view of the necessity of the logoi being unified in the Logos. This would actually solve a lot of philosophical and theological issues. There is a really good scholarly article by Stephen Clark on this titled “Maximus Confessor: Logos and Logoi,” that gets into this issue. I certainly think the Eastern view makes more sense than the Latin view, especially in terms of eschatology.

How do you explain the still living presence of the philosophy of empiricism although it has been discredited many times?

My university advisor used to comment on that frequently. I had several courses that dealt with phenomenology and Husserl is said to have lamented that naïve empiricism can never be killed. It seems to be immortal like a vampire, no matter how many times you kill it. The sophists existed in Plato’s time, and they exist still, and will continue. The reason for this in my analysis is simply the fall of man. Relativism is the end result of empiricism, which is ultimately what Adam and Even opted for in Genesis. Read more of this post

Absurd North Korean Theater Operations

Dennis Rodman chlls with Kim Jong-Un. Seriously?

Dennis Rodman chills with Kim Jong-Un. Seriously?

By: Jay

The present subterfuge about North Korea is largely a ruse.  North Korea is still part and parcel of the modern Anglo-American establishment game, having gained all their modern missile and nuclear capabilities from the West.  It was revealed in both the Guardian and in Newsmax that the arming of North Korea was a bipartisan effort.  Donald Rumsfeld, a member of the board of ABB, helped North Korea gain the armaments they presently possess.  The Guardian reads:

“Donald Rumsfeld, the US defence secretary, sat on the board of a company which three years ago sold two light water nuclear reactors to North Korea – a country he now regards as part of the “axis of evil” and which has been targeted for regime change by Washington because of its efforts to build nuclear weapons.

Mr Rumsfeld was a non-executive director of ABB, a European engineering giant based in Zurich, when it won a $200m (£125m) contract to provide the design and key components for the reactors. The current defence secretary sat on the board from 1990 to 2001, earning $190,000 a year. He left to join the Bush administration.  The reactor deal was part of President Bill Clinton’s policy of persuading the North Korean regime to positively engage with the west.”

And Newsmax Magazine commented on Clinton:

“During the early Clinton years, hard-liners and so-called conservative hawks advocated a pre-emptive strike to halt North Korea’s nuclear weapons development before it could field an atomic bomb. Instead of taking the hard-line, President Clinton elected to rely on former President Jimmy Carter and decided to appease the Marxist-Stalinist dictatorship. Read more of this post

Wag the Dog (1997) – An Exercise in Meta-Propaganda

Wag the Dog film poster.

Wag the Dog film poster.

A Brilliant Revelation of the Method

By: Jay

Wag the Dog (1997) is one of those 90s movies you somehow missed.  I don’t know how I did, but I recently  came across it looking for something along the lines of propaganda and psychological warfare in film, and boy was I in for a treat.  Wag the Dog is dark satire and is far more than I expected it to be.  The film is about private intelligence consultants/marketing experts creating a fake war as a distraction during a presidential candidate’s re-election that is racked by scandal.

Robert deNiro plays Conrad Brean, “Mr. Fix It,” the intelligence/media manipulator hired to create a big distraction that ends up being a fake war with “Albanian fundamentalist terrorists.”  There are several people this might be, and it could also be a composite, but given his hat and appearance, E. Howard Hunt immediately comes to mind, though the timing is off.

While most analyses of the film would focus on the film’s narrative itself as an expose, which is true as far as it goes, I”d like to take a step back and point out that it is more than that.  It’s an example of what I’d call meta-propaganda, in the sense that metanarrative in the study of Shakespeare involves a story about the process of writing a story, so with Wag the Dog we have an example of meta-propaganda.  The film is itself propaganda about the process of making propaganda.  This is the secret power and effect of predictive programming: hoodwinking a unknowing mass populace into accepting a manipulation of archetypes and emotional images that produce a desired effect.  The chief medium of this craftworking is film and news.

How the World Really Works, Pt. 1: The MI6 Model

The present book under anaklysis.

The present book under analysis.

By: Jay

For those who enjoy the subject matter in my analysis, Stephen Dorril’s MI6 is often referenced, recommended and cited as a prime example of real-world intrigue.  It’s functions as a window into how the West has operated geo-politically the last one hundred years, during the two great wars, the Cold War, and into the modern era of the “war on terrorism” so-called.  The book was published in 2002, so it’s also not that out of date, and since its publication, Mark Curtis’ 2010 Secret Affairs has also been published vindicating much of Dorril’s analysis.  Dorril’s book can be seen as a lengthier, massive version of the material in Curtis’ book, with Secret Affairs focusing on the West’s utilization of radical Islam.  Curtis is also a former LSE graduate and Royal Institute research fellow.  Dorril is also a professor and intelligence researcher, as well as a BBC consultant.  The point being, neither of these authors are “conspiratorial” in their approach.  While both might be said to be probably somewhat “left” in their analysis, the presentation in both are attempts at factual analysis.

The purpose of this article?  To shut the mouths of the countless idiots and lazy intellectuals that sit back offering endless criticism and don’t read or know about any of this.  Do I really care? No, but it’s fun to make mincemeat of the pseudo-intellectuals that sit back as armchair philosophers and critics that don’t read jack shit about jack shit, but feel the need to correct me in every possible way.  You see, it’s “bad” to read books on a multitude of subjects – it’s bad to be interested in geo-politics.  What you’re supposed to do is get married, get screwed over by your fat wife, then get screwed by some vulturous corporation after 40 years of servile servitude, and then proceed to your early grave through orderly euthanasia by the stategod, should you be allowed to live that long, after all your cancer-causing vaccines, Soviet-fluoridated water and GMO foods.  I’ll gladly take the gadfly mantle of “failure” by this ridiculous “society.”  When this all converts to the automatic technocratic technocracy, what some boomer thinks in 2012 will be on no one’s mind, other than for a good laugh.  To other detractors and critics who complain that this blog is not written for a mass audience, no it isn’t.  This is supposed to be the “real world” isn’t it?  Grow up and read a book.

The West, Russia, Eurasian Union and Esoterism

The Great Game: Britain’s Attempt to Keep Russia at Bay.

Related – See Russian/Chinese Geo-political Strategies Versus the West

By: Jay

There has always been a close relationship between secret societies and covert affairs.  Both are concerned with secret information, and both form societies of those “in the know.”  These relations are ancient, as the history of state affairs and the cultus of the polis often intersected.   Nieztsche wrote about the ascendancy of the cunning priestly power over the barbaric power of the warrior class, which then gave rise to what we call “morals.”  While that itself a unique form of conspiracy theory, what we call “conspiracy theory” is really just espionage or deep politics.  As long as there will be been court intrigues, the world’s second oldest profession will continue, and thus conspiracies will continue.

Traversing the modern geo-political sphere, one becomes aware of the conspiratorial toponymy very quickly.  I have often observed these deeper truths somewhat between the lines in standard geo-political works, yet clearly present nonetheless.  A presistent example of this kind of “between the lines” deeper truths and “buzzwords” can be found in the patterns that emerge in studies on espionage.  For example, mainstream researcher A of covert affairs will often refer to terrorists X being tracked by western intelligence prior to Y terror event.  Y event occurs, and other resaercher B will type up exposes of other details of the events that researcher A failed to mention.  Combining these two works with the mainline news analysis will then shed tremendous light on X event.    Yet it seems many within the system itself tasked with the job of analysis and monitoring of said events, don’t even do this, which I presume is a result of compartmentalization.  We will see an example of this below.

When analyzing Russia, for example, a host of positions arise, from the Neo-cons who feel Russia is a great danger together with the older cold warrior analysts who argue the communists simply went underground (and perestroika was a deception), to the more open approach of a “multi-polar” world and globalism.  The neo-cons, of course, have their own particular version of globalism, but the recent Obama victory could signal the ascendancy of the more internationally-minded leftists/socialists, exemplified in the European Union-style socialism that is now being implemented in California.  Having once lived in California years ago, in the U.S. it very evident that California is a test tube preparation for the rest of the country.

The multiculturalism and corporate-run “green” environmental tyranny are to be expanded, as Obama promises “carbon taxes” levied on the already overtaxed populace intent on completing the process of deindustrialization (the lesser Great Bear – California!).   This process is an extension of the older eugenics programs, which eventually allied with Socialism and communism.  Fascism’s racial population control has morphed into a top-down socialist/Fascist model where the Western elites have the upper hand, having installed the same agenda worldwide.  The talking heads on TV blab all day about “government spending” and “terror attacks” which all pale in comparison to the overall 25-50 year globalist goals.  The longterm goals are not centered around “free market capitalism”or “American Imperialism”  (like leftists foolishly think), but on global governance.

The Cold War is Not Over – International Socialism’s Attack

U.S.S.A.

“We believe that all men are created equal.” -J.F.K.

By: Jay

My recent research has involved international socialism and the Cold War attack on the West.  In many “conspiracy” circles, often tending towards leftism, it’s very popular to paint the picture that the Cold War was a giant facade intent upon bolstering the buildup of the giant surveillance state.  There is some truth to this: For example, Professor Antony Sutton did produce evidence of support from certain powerful Western elites for the Soviet Union and its rise, particularly with regard to Soviet industrialization, while David Rockefeller aided in the installation of Mao Zedong, writing in the New York Times that the Chinese model was to be the model for social transformation of the East and West.

Indeed, other writers have mentioned the convergence of East and West into a mixed economy of a world socialist state of a third or fourth way.  In this regard, fascist powers were not really in conflict with centralized state communist powers, and received Western elite support as well, as pawns in the global chessboard and as social engineering experiments.  Fabian socialism, international socialism/Marxism, international corporatism,  Imperialism, and shadow government/cryptocracy are all models that are global in extent.  While it might seem wisdom to speak of limitations of expansion and imperial hubris, the reality is, the world state is always in flux, with competing, multi-polar powers seeking to topple rivals.  That “peace” will be achieved by some legislation or utopian visions are, of course, products of human naivety and never realistic.

Our era is one of multi-polar powers, but those multi-polar powers are largely controlled by a shadow government/cryptocracy that is presently the Anglo-establishment.   While this structure has received much bad press over the century, the subtle complexity of our actual geo-political is not easily discernible.  Binary models of East versus West or capitalism versus socialism are oversimplifications, but in reality these forces are real and are in opposition.  To those of the school of convergence, the East and West will be merged into a world socialist republic ruled by a technocractic and financial elite.   This form elitism assumes itself to be based on Darwinianism mechanistic process and Pelagian, Enlightenment tabula rasa social engineering, intent on establishing a “rational” global order or global environmental  eugenic legislation.  This is the dominant ideology of the present Western liberal elite.  Mechanistic, materialistic Darwinism thus melds well with collectivist models like Marxism, as well as so-called individualistic anarcho-capitalism, known as social Darwinism.

Liberty! Equality! Bullshit!

One need only look to someone like H.G. Wells, who wrote in many places, including his Outlines of History, that a masonic socialist order would eventually arise from utopian socialism.  This leads to the thrust of this article: Grand Orient Freemasonry, the power behind international socialism and communism, is not dead, and continues to seek the destruction of the West.  Grand Orient Freemasonry, it must be carefully noted, is atheistic and Satanic.  In contrast to the more conservative British Masonic Orders that remain loyal to the monarchy, Grand Orient Freemasonry can be seen as tied into the P-2 lodge, with its scandals, as well as the infiltration of the Vatican through its power source, Moscow.  Moscow, aside from being aided by powerful western elites, did become a superpower and was a threat.  Whatever one’s view of the Vatican, the infiltration of Rome by all forms of subversion was very real, and was largely handled out of Moscow and aided by the Gramscian Italian communists.  In fact, the Grand Orient/P-2 were intimately involved in the assassination of John Paul I, as we know from the Roberto Calvi scandal.

Another Hat-tip From Alex Jones – Geo-political Gaming

“From time immemorial, royalty, priest classes and other self-appointed elites have used any means necessary to dominate the population and keep it divided amongst itself. Alex Jones uses the games of chess, risk and monopoly to explain the classic modes of control used by rulers, representing classic warfare between two factions, world warfare with a complex conflict, and, of course, economic warfare.

Now those techniques have advanced with sophistication into an era of full spectrum dominance– where gaming the people means an attempt to control all facets of life.”

Using the same analogies I did in the last geo-politics and espionage podcast.

Jay’s Analysis-The Philosophy of Geo-politics, Propaganda and Espionage

What about applying philosophy to geo-politics and espionage? Is there a philosophy of propaganda and psychological warfare? What are 3D, 4D and 5Dimensional analyses? What is the “Great Game”? How does Ian Fleming and James Bond fit into this? Is there any relation between fictional entities like Bond and real psy ops and propaganda? How does semiotics relate to this? Is there a relation to the Venusian arts and pickup artists? What about Catholicism and Malachi Martin? –All this and more in the latest podcast installment.
