In the saga, the 'One ring' eventually leaves the Gollum. The ring isn't chosen. It chooses. Its new owner becomes a hobbit, Bilbo Baggins. The ring wants to be found. I wants to get back to its master. Bilbo carries the ring with him to the Shire, where he leaves it to Frodo Baggins as Bilbo himself departs.
Now you may protest here; "Is there any purpose in this?"
Well, the purpose of the Ringwraiths evidently is to illustrate an epoch of history that we would rather not look at, but which links Sauron, the mother of many such pigs, with all the modern pigs that still haunt us today.
In Tolkien's saga the Ringwraiths' ghostly existence is but an echo of the much greater and more ominous ghost of Sauron himself, that had lingered on and had been stirred to live again when it became known that Sauron's master ring, that appeared to have been lost, was rediscovered. That event of rediscovery caused an ominous shift in history. It made it still darker. That event happened right in the middle of a profound recognition and celebration of humanist light, that became known as the Golden Renaissance of the 15th Century.
With this background for the saga now fully established, the tale of saga begins to unfold in earnest. The saga of the Lord of the Rings becomes an epic tale that does not end until, three volumes later, Sauron's master ring of power becomes destroyed, by which the ghost of Sauron becomes destroyed as well. We are far from this happeing today. Until that day, however, the power of the ring's master grows. The ghost of Sauron, looms across the world in the form of an ever-present threat, and the ring unfolds as the link to this threat.
The ghost of Sauron - the ghost of the mother of the pigs
Tolkien chose the names for his characters with great care. That includes the name of Sauron. In the German language the term "sau" is the common name for a mother of pigs. Evidently, Sauron is that mother, the sau, a mother of the pigs in the world of power and corruption. This mother certainly has had its real equivalent in human history. The philosopher Aristotle lent his name to it. He gave that mother his own name, even though its line has had already a long history in the world of the corruption of the image of the human being. Aristotle merely codified that existing process of corruption and gave it a recognizable identity. He put it out under his name, under the code name of his "theory of natural slavery."
Because of this 'achievement', Aristotle's name is being 'celebrated' globally by all the world's aristocracy. The dark shadows that we find in this world of aristocracy reflect the shapes of the slave traders; the dope pushers; the feudal bankers, 'noble' people heading institutions of imperial power that have looted society in the name of its masters for centuries; who thereby have been, and still are, destroying the society of mankind. It is out of the darkness of these shadows that we hear the bitter complaining from these circles that wars don't kill enough people, as Bertrand Russell had said, who had lobbied for the building of the nuclear bomb.
The aristocrats of the world also include those other people, priests of death in high places, who have advocated polices to induce large scale population reduction, especially in third world nations, in order that their natural resources won't get used up by "them." The aristocrats argued that these resources need to be preserved for "us" (see NSSM200). Out of the shadows of this single policy, carried out by the most powerful government on earth, five years after the policy became enacted, AIDS emerged throughout the world. It has so far caused the death of tens of millions of human beings world wide. It has decimated large parts of Africa already, and is now poised to spread across Asia. Nor has this dreadful policy from which it came, ever been reversed. To the contrary, it is being applied evermore universally, and no one except LaRouche stands up in the political arena and fights with the determination that is needed to stop this trend that has already killed more people than all the wars of the last century combined. Every other world-leader goes the other way under the flag of profits and a hail of approval by society, while LaRouche gets vilified. That shows how small we have become as a human society. LaRouche cautions, that the grave we dig for others will also become our own in not too distant times ahead, unless, of course, we reverse what we are presently doing. But who, apart from LaRouche, is even talking about that?
