Legacy of a Dead Elite

NOTE:This version is an edit of the previous article. The corrected error was a reference to a book called Zangaro that should have been "Congo", a 1980 science fiction novel by Michael Crichton . The novel centers on an expedition searching for diamonds and investigating the mysterious deaths of a previous expedition in the dense rain forest of Congo. Crichton calls Congo a lost world novel in the tradition founded by Henry Rider Haggard's King Solomon's Mines , featuring the mines of that work's title.

You have probably heard mention of it before: there is nothing more dangerous than power in the hands of a fool.

This has been said by different men at different epochs in history, renowned men or otherwise, black men, white men, and oriental men, and though it may sometimes sound as though it is a hitting back at an unjust system by one in a corner, it is in fact a truism ...

The obvious, the silly, and the true has got to be defended. Truisms are true, hold on to that! The solid world exists, its laws do not change. Stones are hard, water is wet, objects unsupported fall towards the earth's center.

- George Orwell - 1984 ...

But how could it have come to this? How could a bunch of fools have taken over an entire military industrial complex?

The story is actually very simple, so simple it is ignored over and over again for the fact because it is so simple it is assumed that it is simplistic.

It starts out with an elite that once upon a time had some claim to their elite status because they were of descent genetic stock and had a good number of society's very best in their ranks, acting as the guides or advisors.

But the system they chose to run when a trick they played enabled them to take over the civilised world entailed a masquerade, and thus, the trouble started ...

It did not take long before the elite realised that the very best had deserted their ranks and, fearing they would be overthrown if they continued to pick the best for positions of authority in society, because the clever heads would know how to wretch the reigns of control from their hands and also how to run a complex system, they decided to pick the worst, the most evil fools they cavorted with, provided they could pass them off as intelligent men and women.

The process of making fools credible works the same way as unknown men suddenly gaining fame, authoring books where notions are thrown about that are beyond the comprehension of the author or people suddenly gaining eligibility for positions of power on account of wealth, and so on and so forth ...

But the war the people pulling the strings that controlled this new crop of leaders were fighting had a spiritual dimension connected to their very genetic viability.

Leading a masquerading culture, keen to harness the power technologies left by the leaders in the culture they had overthrown had left behind, keen to improve their stock, in possession of the magic word but not the word that stopped the magic from burying them alive with their wish, they took to using switches, and these produced desired effects but at the cost of rubbing the spiritual world the wrong way and also negatively affecting the viability of their ilk vis a vis the genes.

It is as such a truism that the leaders of the masquerading culture were well on their way to extinction by the time the last ones left realised they could not rely for guidance on the system's very best. The last few may have realised early on that they were a dying stock, but they still feared more the fact they could be overthrown and, after making sure those they kept near were not capable of figuring things out, they set into motion a hunt for society's best that the fools they left in power (as they all perished from various conditions their meddling with ancient technologies had caused) inherited a fight they could not understand but just knew to continue ...

Think of the head smashing activity by monkeys in Micheal Crichton's "Congo" where "heads" and "programmed monkeys" without the tutelage of their trainers are key terms ... Remember Pol Pott of Cambodia? He murdered intellectuals because he saw them as threats to his reign. He considered people who wore glasses to be intellectuals. During his reign therefore, one was liable to get murdered on account they wore glasses

There is indeed a Pharaoh's curse, but it does not work in ways many suspect.

Our planet today is in fact a deceived world that still believes somewhere out there are holed clever, highly intelligent conniving people pulling the strings, behind the scenes as they say, while the glaring truth is they dug their own graves and are all no more. Just dead men whose spirits languish in eternal perdition.

It is time to take control brothers and sisters. Time to reign a powerful yet dangerous culture from the autopilot it is locked in while in the hands of people who fervently and passionately believe they are the elite of old, complete with the behaviours of such ...
