Chapter 1: (column 1) Pouring in 'Oil' and 'Wine' versus Thought Control.We will now look at a number of categories, by examples, in which the consciousness of individuals and nations has been for sale to the cleverest bidder, or in other words, where there has been no, or little, scientifically developed spiritual alertness evident. The resulting effect in these examples of thought control is actually surprisingly constant. Every case brings to light a different facet, but all together, these facets may be summed up as serving one single purpose, which is astonishingly, the induced self-destruction of humanity. One example of how strikingly powerful thought control can be, is found in the near universal agreement by the public that there are too many people on the earth; that mankind is raping and pilfering the planet. What is also surprising, is the near universal consistency in language that is used. The use of such words as "raping" and "pilfering" or "destroying the planet" have almost become a trademark of environmental ideology. One can hear these words spoken everywhere. This universality does not reflect a universal individual unfolding, but an induced universality. Of course, there is no truth behind what is claimed. If there were any truth in it, thought control would not be needed. The utter effectiveness of professional thought control is evident by how strongly people believe in their ideological elite, with the deepest conviction that their dictum is true. Hitler would marvel at how universally the most destructive ideologies can be implanted into the minds of humanity today, who, then, turns towards its destroyers with admiration and whole-heartily supports them. Hitler had never enjoyed such a complete success. The facts of the case at hand are in the opposite to what is claimed by the thought controllers. Mankind does not "pilfer" the earth. Our entire world economy, today, is centered on resources that earlier societies had no use for. If the scientific and technological development of mankind is allowed to continue, mankind will again be using resources tomorrow that we find no use for today. Also, these new resources promise to be of vastly greater abundance than what mankind has access to today because of its still relative primitive technologies. In fact, we have three potential energy resources at our disposal to choose from. We have the nuclear fast breeder technology that is already in limited implementation, we have the fusion power option where dramatic progress has been made in spite of the meager funding, and we also perceive a definite feasibility of matter-antimatter reaction systems that have become laboratory candidates for serious investigation. Each one of these options is sufficient by itself to supply the energy needs of mankind, not for hundreds of years, but for billions of years to come. So vast are the available resources. While mankind is squabbling today over the little pot of gold in term of oil that it draws its energy from, it does so in a carefully maintained state of ignorance of the vast mountain of gold that it its on, literally, while it perishes in poverty. What is "pilfering" the earth today are primitive technologies imposed upon mankind by an oligarchy through its front organizations that enforce underdevelopment and devolution on the whole human scene, which retrogression does indeed force people to turn to the forests for firewood to provide cooking fuel that nuclear energy should provide in this modern age. Neither is mankind "raping" the earth. This term is used to define mankind's encroachment onto animal habitat. Indeed, this encroachment was dramatic when the vast forests of Europe were cleared for primitive agriculture during the days of feudalism, or when the forests of eastern Canada were cut down to provide timber for the vast armada of British 'merchant' and slave ships. As mankind developed, however, we saw the emergence of modern agriculture which enabled dramatic increases in food production through advanced farming methods, fertilizers, and pest control, rather than the expansion of land use. We saw the same in shipbuilding, too, where new technologies opened up the field to more abundantly available materials. The natural world has seen very little encroachment since that period. The vast increases in food production, and industrial production that has taken place, has been achieved by intelligent means rather than increased land-use. || - page index - || - chapter index - || - Exit - ||
