The
driving force behind so much of Washington City’s policies at home and abroad
is to be found in the refrain we have heard since 11 Sept. 2001: that radicalized Islamic terrorists attacked
America (and want to destroy it), and so it must act to protect itself and its
interests. But is that true? This documentary by Sofia Smallstorm, 9/11 Mysteries: Demolitions, casts great
doubt upon it:
So
what is going on? Seemingly, a grand
project that has different goals on different levels, among them:
Remaking
New York City’s
skyline to profit some well-connected folks;
The
rise of a total police/surveillance state within the American Empire to better
control its people (which also includes a profit motive for the corporations
providing the now-essential security gear, like airport body scanners);
Redrawing
the political map of the Middle East through
direct wars or proxy wars for the benefit of transnational banks and
corporations;
And
the clashing and mixing of religions/civilizations to help usher in the Man of
Peace who will heal all the world’s ills, the False Christ, the Antichrist.
One
of the main tools used to keep this massive social engineering event ongoing
has been the image of the elusive bad guy mastermind(s) who is continually
plotting harm for America
and the whole the liberal, democratic West.
Perhaps we should say ‘conjured image’, following the blueprint drawn up
for today’s dystopian world by George Orwell in his novel 1984. In that novel one
finds the character of Emmanuel Goldstein, who bears quite a resemblance to
Osama bin Laden and the various characters who have taken his place in the
reports generated for public consumption by the government and media (thanks to
Jay Dyer for pointing this out here, https://jaysanalysis.com/2016/07/22/munich-terror-immanuel-goldstein-strikes-again/):
Emmanuel Goldstein is a character in George
Orwell's dystopian
novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. He is the principal enemy of the state according to the Party, depicted as
the head of a mysterious (and possibly fictitious) organization called "The Brotherhood" and as
having written the book The Theory and
Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism. He is only seen and heard on telescreen,
and may be a fabrication of the Ministry
of Truth.
. . .
In
the novel, Goldstein is a fictional character rumoured to be a former top
member of the Party and an early associate of its leader, "Big Brother", but having
broken away early in the movement and started "The Brotherhood".
Ostensibly "The Brotherhood" is organized into cells, with each member required to read The
Book, supposedly written by Goldstein, The Theory and
Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism. Goldstein is always the subject
of the "Two Minutes Hate", a daily program beginning
at 11:00 a.m. at which an image of Goldstein is shown on the telescreen
and subjected to extreme contempt.
The
novel raises but leaves unanswered the questions of whether Goldstein or
"The Brotherhood" really exist. When asked by protagonist Winston, Inner Party
member O'Brien replies as follows:
Winston: Does the Brotherhood exist?
O'Brien: That, Winston, you will never know. If we choose
to set you free when we have finished with you, and if you live to be ninety
years old, still you will never learn whether the answer to that question is
Yes or No. As long as you live it will be an unsolved riddle in your mind.
O'Brien
claims that Goldstein's book was written by the Party leadership, including
himself, but this statement leaves the questions of Goldstein and the
Brotherhood's existence unanswered, and may be an untruth by O'Brien to deceive
Winston.
The
reader may surmise that a political opposition to Big Brother — namely,
Goldstein — was psychologically necessary in order to distract, unite and focus
the anger of the people of Oceania. Ostensibly, Goldstein
serves as a convenient scapegoat for the totalitarian
regime in Nineteen Eighty-Four, and justifies its surveillance
and elimination of civil liberties.

In
viewing the two minute Hate Ritual performed by the masses toward Goldstein in
the film version of 1984, one may see
just how close to programmed barbarism many in the [u]nited States have sunk
when thinking of their reaction to al Qaeda, Islamic State, Saddam Hussein,
Bashar Assad, Vladimir Putin, etc. (that means many Southerners, too, sad to say).
The
constructed reality fashioned by the nexus of Hollywood, think tanks, the military, and
others is clearly turning Americans into something less than human, and more
like the demons. But there is hope;
there are still those, from St Anthony the Great of Egypt to St Silouan of Mt
Athos, who can help them see the world as it is, and help them live life as it
was meant to be lived. It is never too
late to make a good beginning, as the Fathers tell us.
