The Nature of Political Conspiracy Chuck Morse - 05.23.01 Lord Acton said "power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely" which succinctly describes the nature of political conspiracy. The potential conspirator, intoxicated by the rarefied atmosphere of power and privilege, corrupts his soul for political advancement. Along the way, he becomes convinced that he possesses superior wisdom and assumes a sense of entitlement, even obligation, to exercise this wisdom by working toward controlling the lives of others. He believes he possesses a mandate to change human nature and views the force of government as the means to effect that change. He does not believe that his fellow citizen is capable of self rule. Conspiracy occurs when a collusion takes place between these like-minded birds of a feather. The conspirators, illicitly and secretively, use power in a mission which often takes on religious fervor. That mission is the accumulation of more power for it's own sake. The work of the conspirator is to market this transfer of power as a benevolent program meant to benefit the populace. To further this transformation of power, they present themselves as saviors during a crisis that they themselves may have played a hand in creating. Millions of innocents have died as a result of the wars, famine, holocausts, and poverty that have resulted from such marketing and accumulation. Oftentimes, a conspirator simply gets caught up in the atmosphere of the elite culture and, either deliberately or by evasion, remains unaware of the significance of his own actions. The right hand does not know what the left hand is doing. This is more likely to occur in a morally ambivalent person, a faceless bureaucrat, or an apparatchik, who dutifully carries out a pre determined agenda and, in exchange for his loyalty and labor, receives a modicum of advancement and prestige in return. Motivated by a messiah complex, the conspirator is attracted to like-minded souls. He generally doesn't view his activity as a sinister plot, but as "social action" conducted in the interest of the unenlightened masses. He seeks to plan the most intimate details of the lives of his fellow citizens in the name of science. He views government as a tool of coercion to achieve these ends. His ultimate dream, the cornerstone of his secular faith, is a one world government where people like him will use their total world power to change mankind. His faith is the same as that of every aspiring world conqueror, from Alexander the Great to Genghis Khan to Adolf Hitler. A political conspiracy should be viewed in the same context as a criminal conspiracy. The criminal plots with one or more co-conspirators to abscond with the wealth of the intended victim. Plans are drawn up to either commit an outright robbery by use of force, or to commit a more subtle fraudulent scheme through a series of lies. Laws, set up to protect the life and property of the intended victim, are broken. The political conspiracy is more subtle and complex and is often borne out of a ruling culture of scientific control and noblesse oblige. Conspiracy theories involving collective classes of people, such as race, ethnicity, or religion, are false, dangerous to freedom, and should be rejected. It is impossible for an entire population of people to engage in a conspiracy. An ethnic group can only be the victim of a conspiracy, hatched by an elite seeking to manipulate them to either turn over the reigns of power or to go to war. Ethnic groups are often used as scapegoats by conspirators who seek to either divert attention from themselves, shift the blame for their own actions, or mobilize the significant collective power of hate and prejudice to be used for their advantage. The Jewish conspiracy theories of the Nazi elite are a classic example of this principle in action. Political conspiracy is any plan to deprive the citizenry of their natural sovereign rights. The signature of conspiracy is when these plans are hatched in secret. Secrecy occurs when the conspirators realize that the citizenry would reject the plan if they were cognizant of it. This is the hallmark of arrogance. Our founding fathers understood that a corrupted cabal of men would work it's way into government and would conspire to take over the levers of power. This is why they devised a Constitution which divides power into three branches of government and recognizes the citizen as endowed by the creator with the right to life, liberty, and property. This is why the constitution charges the citizen with the right to free speech, free press, the right to assemble, and the right to keep and bear arms. Our founders understood the darker side of human nature. They knew that every generation would have to grapple with a conspiracy of men who seek to transfer these powers into their own hands. Our obligation to the maintenance of freedom is to exercise these rights and to use them to uncover the conspiracies that are occurring in our midst's. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Permission granted, as long as you include the name of our site, the author, and our URL. www.SierraTimes.com All Sierra Times news reports, and all editorials are � 2001 SierraTimes.com (unless otherwise noted) ==^================================================================ EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?bUrCn8.bUNmfL Or send an email To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This email was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================
