I’ve deleted most of my most recent blog posts. It is mostly because reevaluation of a lot of what I said in the past has led me to question it all. I pretty much failed in remaining objective and level headed as I delved into ‘truther’ territory, and that is something I gladly own up to. One of the issues that often comes up is the inability for people to own up to it when they mess up. Here’s a little secret that took me all too long to learn: Its OK to mess up. Mistakes are valuable opportunities to learn. Anyway, I was quite impressed with Charlie Veitch’s apology to the internets 
The way I see it… with this Occupy Wall Street thing spreading globally (and apparently with George Soros desperately trying to co-opt it in order to neuter it and the old media desperately trying to either ignore or diminish it), its a good a time as any to extend our olive branches. Sadly, there are still a lot of so-called ‘truthers’ who aren’t exactly feeling that vibe of unity, apology and forgiveness. Trolls continue to harass Charlie Veitch, and I started seeing claims that even Anonymous are supposedly a Masonic front.
One phrase I’ve coined, though I certainly don’t claim to be the first to say it is this: “Careful not to open your mind too much… your brain might fall out.”
Anyway, with all of this demonization of Freemasonry in the so-called ‘truth’ movement, I’ve had to take a few days to step back and think about it. Not to mention do some research of other perspectives. The conclusion I’ve reached is that it looks increasingly like the Freemasons are an easy scapegoat. They have a long history of persecution, particularly by religious groups who tried in the 19th century to stir up anti-Masonic hysteria. Somehow, the old hatreds have burned on into the present day, driven by blatant cherry picking of quotes by Albert Pike.
Am I saying that all Freemasons are innocent? Hardly. But this is an organization with millions of members globally… a few oddballs might slip through the cracks here and there. There have also been some very exceptional people into Freemasonry, including the American Founding Fathers. If the Freemasons were really out to build a totalitarian world government, it hardly makes sense for them to found a constitutional republic on the principles of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Sure, I’d prefer an anarcho-capitalist society to a republic, but ultimately, republic is the best you’re going to get when it comes to government (yes, its even preferable to so-called ‘democracy’).
So, with that out of the way, I also have thoughts about that other secret society whose name is bandied about by so-called ‘truthers’: The Illuminati.
What I’ve come to realize is that the ‘Illuminati’ are the ultimate boogeymen. They are an invisible enemy that nobody can even prove exists beyond the ‘official’ disbandment of Adam Weishaupt’s Bavarian Illuminati group. In fact they’re almost as impossible to prove as the reptilian hybrids that David Icke talks about. I’m still pretty much keeping an open mind as best I can (without letting my brain fall out 
), but ultimately, I don’t see the Illuminati as much more than a phantom, and invisible army of one All-Seeing-Eyed monsters like the Communists who weren’t hiding under McCarthy’s bed.
The way I see it is this: In all of the media, you’d be very hard pressed to find positive portrayals of the Illuminati, beyond your typical History Channel documentary talking about Weishaupt’s group in Bavaria being a gentleman’s club of freethinkers who secretly gathered to talk science and philosophy forbidden by the Church. In video games like Deux Ex, in novels like Angels and Demons and in movies and music, they tend to be portrayed as the invisible hand driving the antagonistic force in the story. I have to ask this: who does it benefit for ‘truthers’ to be chasing these phantom one eyed monsters? Either its all a distraction, they really don’t exist anymore, they’re counting on us fearing them too much or, <gasp><shock> they might just be getting a bad rap just like the Freemasons, who we actually know exist.
So, do I no longer believe conspiracies are happening? I definitely wouldn’t say that… after all, false flags keep happening, as does collusion between big banks and government and this whole global warming thing is definitely a hoax and stinks of a post-industrial zero growth agenda. I’m just saying that I don’t think that this anti-Masonic hysteria is entirely rational, and this anti-Illuminati hysteria is looking to me at this point like a pointless witch hunt. I’m right back to the mindset that ‘truthers’ all too often give those in power too much credit. I don’t think the so-called elite are doing this crap because of some generations long plan for a ‘New World Order’, I think they’re trying (and failing) to do it because its becoming impossible for them to hide their criminality and are trying to psych us out, to make us feel like its hopeless, that nothing can be done, that we ought to just get used to the idea of serfdom coming back. They can’t win when we don’t fear them anymore and I really believe we’re close to that point now.
“Corruption is in our blood” said Shri Jagan Nath BA, a noted social worker while delivering the verdict in a Panchayat Judgment against a businessman who had charged excessive interest from a debtor in 1957. Though, he remained Sarpanch and served people over seven years; but he had to resign from the post of Sarpanch (Head over Five other Village heads) when he felt that he cannot serve people anymore and carry on his just job without compromising with the corrupt people.
