The Occult Conspiracy
February 26, 2010Henry Baum No Comments »When conspiracy theorists collide. In this video, Alex Jones criticizes Zeitgeist for being anti-Christian and being a part of the New Age conspiracy to take over the world.
To sum up the video – it’s saying that Zeitgeist, which is anti-Christian, advocates a New Age New World Order in which Christianity is supplanted, even as the film attacks the New World Order which is coming through globalization. So Peter Joseph is an agent of the New Age agenda, even if he also warns against the NWO. God, I love this stuff. The New World Order is the new apocalypse, with everyone having a theory about how and when it’s going to arise (including myself, albeit in fiction).
In a recent video, Darryl Sloan talks about the occult symbolism in the U.S. and the U.K., such as the dollar bill and the MI5 logo, and wonders if that means there’s an occult influence in government. It should be mentioned that just because MI5 or the Information Awareness Office uses occult symbolism does not mean they’re run on occult principles. It’s just that occult symbolism has become a common motif. Even so, the Information Awareness Office symbol is absurd:
I heard more than one person say, “Wait, that’s real? I thought it was a joke.” The symbol is ridiculous on so many levels. If they are not really occult practitioners, how could they be so stupid as to not know what sort of paranoia this would inspire? The fact is they had to know, which is enough to make you paranoid for other reasons – even if they aren’t practicing occultists, they are at least in the practice of inspiring paranoia. They’ve discontinued the logo, with this explanation:
DARPA offices have traditionally designed and adopted logos. However. because the IAO logo has become a lightning rod and is needlessly diverting time and attention from the critical tasks of executing that office’s mission effectively and openly, we have decided to discontinue the use of the original logo.
For the record, the IAO logo was designed to convey the mission of that office; i.e., to imagine, develop, apply, integrate, demonstrate, and transition information technologies, components, and prototype, closed-loop information systems that will counter asymmetric threats by achieving total information awareness useful for preemption, national security warning, and national security decision making. On an elemental level, the logo is the representation of the office acronym (IAO) the eye above the pyramid represents “I” the pyramid represents “A,” and the globe represents “O.” In the detail, the eye scans the globe for evidence of terrorist planning and is focused on the part of the world that was the source of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. “Scientia est polentia” means “Knowledge is power.” With the enabling technologies being developed by the office, the United States will be empowered to implement operational systems to thwart terrorist attacks like those of September 11, 2001.
The unfinished pyramid and the eye depicted in the logo were taken directly from the reverse side of the Great Seal of the United States of America (for a history of the seal, see http://www.heraldica.org/topics/usa/usheroff.htm). Both sides of the seal also appear on the back of the U.S. $1 bill.
It may just be that the person who designed the logo is a total idiot with no sense of perspective or history. When considering the human race, that explanation is just as likely as something nefarious.
Meanwhile, there’s outrage about the Missile Defense logo looking like the Obama symbol from the election and the crescent and star of the flag of Islam:
People on the left are mocking this – which it deserves – but also there’s no denying that it looks similar to the Obama symbol. And if anything it’s probably better politics if they don’t look alike, given the right’s proclivity for total paranoia. There’s nothing to infer about the Information Awareness Office logo – that’s occult symbolism without having to interpret it. More evidence that the justified paranoia about the Bush administration has morphed into the less justified paranoia of the right. It points out, though, that if Obama was running an Islamist plot inside the American government, why would he be so obvious about it? He wouldn’t – and the same concept could hold true for the Information Awareness Office. In the end, it turns out that the Missile Defense logo was designed during the Bush Administration. Of course, that’s what they would want you to think.
I responded to Darryl Sloan’s post by saying,
My answer to – “Do Occultists rule the world?” – is, “I hope so.” Though the Occult’s gotten a bad rap, it can be seen as a more-honest view of spirituality – an attempt to contact and maybe harness the spiritual world without being too beholden to one dogma. Manly Palmer Hall’s Secret Teaching of All Ages, for example, encompasses a wide range of knowledge – and he was a Freemason.
All I know is that I’d much rather have world leaders driven by the Occult than a Book of Revelation-brand Christianity. The Occult has the potential to be a hell of a lot healthier than that – it’s not just a system of dark or “black” magic.
So – yes – I’m an agent of the New Age agenda, or New Age-nda (think I made that up) because a one world religion in which our questions about God are finally answered would be an improvement on the fractured and adversarial world we have now.
Then again, if practicing occultists really do run the world then they’re doing a horrid job and maybe they are attracted to black magic because the world is disintegrating. And if they were more authentically Christ-like, there’d be better protection for the poor and the environment. But the Christianists, like those at C Street, cite despots as role models. Such a mess, regardless of who’s running things.
