The Secret Behind Secret Societies, part 1
Search for it on you tube and watch every segment if you can. It seems to provide a large number of the answers I have been looking for about the underworld stuff.
It leads me to want to suggest you consider what it might mean for you personally.
In all sincerity and Christian love,
Priscilla

Thank you, Priscilla. There is no reason for you to be timid. By now I know your sincerity. As to the video, I’ve viewed it. This may sound cynical, but I don’t believe it’s new, just dazzlingly presented with a British accent. (BTW, we were actually just talking about “Dominus Iesus.”) I fail (not for want of Googling) to find any basis for his claim about the Vatican seal, but if you can find anything else supporting it, that would help. F.Y.I.: if I’m not mistaken this is the sort of thing the Reformation was based on (if not word-for-word the exact thesis our jolly friend Luther posited to where this presentation borders on plagiarism), the only thing that (if intellectually plausible, which again it is not that I have been able to find so far) could conceivably justify splitting from the Church (that is, from the Papal Communion), though it is entirely negative (“Zen”) in nature and only finds a magic island of cataphatic theology in Mormonism (which I think is also patently false). (Statement to the savvy: there is a very Anti-Catholic reason the Mormon Church campaigns so heavily and the media helps them. Mormonism is the only stable isotope divorced from Catholicism because it uses all the same elements of classical Catholicism to the opposite end. It is the definitive Anti-Church. The upshot is that, in a universe where Catholicism isn’t true, Mormonism looks pretty appealing even to pure souls.) But for those who have not yet graduated from schism to Neo-Mohammedist (or Anglo-Mohammedist) Mormonism, it must beg the question, “Why have a church at all?” And that brings us to Daniel Leach’s present stance.
Why don’t you guys come join a little discussion group we’re forming with Daniel and some of my liberty-minded fellow-Catholics? I am sure we could continue to sharpen each other’s habits and views considerably.
[…] God love you all.

(A studious Catholic priest is quoted in a Mormon PowerPoint presentation as making the observation I source above, that basically it’s either Catholicism or Mormonism, that nothing else has a leg to stand on. [Of course one could well question whether he’d considered Orthodoxy or generally whether he was too intellectualistic {to which some would even add secret-society oriented} in his approach.])

One thing you right away noticed about me was that I was an enthusiastic Catholic. This is because (no doubt partly thanks to my neuroatypicality) I always tend to hear not style but substance, not what is presented but what is said, not innuendo but, if you will, platitude. And I sensed already that among Western Christian denominations only Catholics seemed to have much interest in the Incarnation (nor for that matter in love! but we’ll touch on that later). Plus, while Evangelicals spoke of Chrst’s death as saving us, Catholics added that his Resurrection was pretty critical in achieving that end. There are many other areas besides where Protestants offer a sort of crude proposition loosely based on the Bible and where their (ostensibly purely legalistic) suppositions took them, whereas Catholics offer something that (in my view) grows right out of Scripture’s testimony. It seems like the same presumption vs. trust issue you get with the I am saved soteriologoy vs. God help me love him more. Where love is mentioned frequently rather than divorced from the work of salvation and sanctification – now here’s a cavalier-sounding criterion if ever there was one – where love is mentioned frequently I tend to think the theological legwork is done. Because God commanded nothing apart from love, so much so that Jesus sums up all his commandments as Love. Occultists don’t tent to get around to touching on “love.” Those who speak for Jesus speak of “love.” That is how I follow the Good Shepherd’s voice. Pretty simplistic, right? Well, that’s the wellspring of joy. I don’t doubt that both our respective communions have their secrets, their worldly-minded fraternities, their public relations think tanks, and yes, their exaggerated ways of speaking of other sects so that they may keep their members by fear if not by love. But what is really the best way to combat these? I want to suggest that it is by doing our Gospel duty. And of in doing that, love prompts you to search YouTube for everything you can on secret societies, then please keep on doing it! Because love is not separate from information, not the “love” the world wants which is banal and apathetic. Love births zeal, and love also births trust. I am sorry not to be in your group. I can understand why you believe I should be. But perhaps in spite of this you can assent to something I’ve said, supposing I speak the truth. (It is almost Christmastime.)

All I needed to see was the blood-thirsty oath taken by Jesuits. The pope sanctions the Jesuits. There are pagan statues all over the vatican. What more do I need to know? I am confused by your statements of loyalty to such a church.

Were the Blood Oath taken by Jesuits whom the pope sanctions I would be alarmed. But the oath originated during a political campaign in the United States which is why it is in the Library of Congress. There are pagan statues all over all ancient pagan cities. What more do you need to know? I am confused by your statements of credence to such nonsensical theories. You are way smarter than that. :-)

Where was I to get this information you have added? How may I substantiate it? There are pagan statues all over pagan cities, yes, but in the vatican? The Vatican is not ancient-pagan. I may be smart, but I lack complete information, evidently. I don’t find the theories nonsensical in the slightest. The dots connect.

John McGuire

Well, for starters the Blood Oath would be laughable if it weren’t actually accepted by so many as credible. There is nothing to substantiate it, therefore any honest person discards it however he may feel toward the Jesuits or Catholics or Spaniards or whatever prejudice you can name. Every group is somewhat secretive. (And that’s no secret!) That is how it sustains its groupness. Larger groups have more secrets. Global groups have the most secrets. Then consider that the Jesuit Order is the largest Catholic priestly order. But s to the Blood Oath, its real origins are painfully obvious even just looking at how it’s written. Is a Spanish original ever cited? Are these people interested in credible facts or just feelings? I mean, I love a good ghost story at least as much as anyone, but this is just sad. See, if you knew David Higbee who really serves the “everyman’s history,” you may understand the American tradition of making things up about Catholics lest the naturally unappealing Protestant sects hemorrhage members. They got rid of the stuff people stopped believing. Thus, for instance, you may not be acquainted with The Confessions of Maria Monk, an over-the-top work of fiction passed off as factual for the sake of indoctrination. (Incidentally, what a sick “Christianity.” And Catholics are told we have to defend ourselves against total blind-siding fiction? We’re guilty until proven innocent? We are second-class citizens, and the culprit is Frenchophobia.) Foxe’s Book of Martyrs? (This is the famous “second-only-to-the-Bible”!) The Book of Mormon? The Jesuits Blood Oath falls squarely in this genre, and it’s really that simple. :-) Have you had occasion to meet a Jesuit?
But paranoia goes a long way in playing on our imagination and making a group that is different from or even just separate from one’s own seem evil. And anything that’s big enough–anything that’s big enough–generates conspiracy theories that seem credible because, who knows, they could have covered it up because they’re big and powerful…and truthfully I want to feel kind of big and powerful (calls for unsparing introspection [which is a Christian duty anyway]: inferiority complex some?), so I’ll shut my eyes and make believe they’re plotting my demise because, in spite of what I may tell myself about my heavenly beliefs and loves, that’s the only way I have found to really feel that rush of significance. As for the Vatican’s art collection, everything can be seen as pagan through the right Puritanical lens. As for Catholic worship, it is not in any wise pagan. So we have ancient pagan stuff lying around. It’s history. Semitic Christians retain Jewish stuff. Ultimately Jesus saves all cultures. The is even a cross atop the obelisk. This shows (to those who care to understand the symbolism) who conquers whom. Very poignant. I understand the hype, i.e. the lines connecting the dots according to predetermined hatred. What you would be missing is the history of how things in the West developed. Because being raised Protestant you bore the brunt of it. So sick, so sad, so toxic. Not everything is fact, and not every fact is presented in historical context because to do so would simply destroy certain groups out there. I mean, you can feel however you want toward whomever you want, but maybe I am not possessed of the polarity needed to share those feelings.

John:
I try to associate myself with groups that serve God not man. The Orthodox Church does not have or condone secret societies, nor does it have any secrets of its own. It is very transparent and open to all. In doing so, we have not lost any “groupness”.
The sources I was learning from were primary sources. I don’t know how to decide which primary sources to discard or what formula to use to decide that the catholic church is more innocent than it looks. The doctrine of Papal supremacy is an absolute heresy, and the statues of Peter as Jupiter and King David as Pan and Moses with HORNS(!) are not just ancient artifacts that were lying around when the church showed up. That’s hogwash.
Pagan godesses adorning the Sistine chapel ceiling are pagan goddesses. They are not anything else. They don’t belong in church. I don’t know what the book of Mormon and Foxe’s stupid book of martyrs have to do with this since I am neither Mormon nor Protestant and care for neither book.
I have no way to “tell” that this or that document is or is not authentic. What is the rule for that? How am I to tell? What makes it so obvious to you?
Did you join some lay order or something? Was there an oath involved? Are you absolutely sure it is not something that is trapping you? I’m talking about spiritual entrapment and I am dead serious. That is the only reason I brought all this up in the first place.

Well, speaking of transparency, this latest message really refreshes me, and I thank you for it.
First of all, I have left off Knights of Columbus meetings since the Fall because those I now trust (as opposed to those I used to trust, i.e. family and priest acquaintances I happened to have) consistently have no use for them. I had considered becoming a Lay Carmelite or a Secular Carmelite, because this is a spirituality that has resonated with me, but I never moved on that mostly due to the age difference and my then-inability to keep up rigorous daily prayers. So I am bound by no oath, vow or promise beyond that of Christian initiation which we share in common.
I didn’t know you were referring to statues and paintings of angels and saints when you were talking about “pagan” Vatican objects. I’ll speak to the one concern you expressed that actually resonated with me because it seemed more concrete than speculative. The Hebrew word for “rays” and “horns,” as I understand it, are identical. Moses is said to have had two of them coming out of his head. Hence artists, fearful of heresy, portray him with something ambiguous enough that it might be interpreted either way. So this, by contrast, is not an example of inculturation but actually of simple scriptural fidelity. Keep the specific questions coming! :-)

On second thought, the KofC vows may be said to bind me still, particularly the vow to secrecy. How would I get that treated?

A Facebook friend made the following suggestion on my KofC severance project: “If I were renouncing an oath, I’d send the private renunciation via the ‘real mail’: an actual letter, and take out an ‘ad’ in the local newspaper for the public part. Think of it like a divorce: you serve the parties with papers, and put [it] in the ‘public record.’ “

The short answer on Peter and David is that I never for a moment thought of them as anything except what Sacred Scripture and Tradition tell us, not in terms of any Pagan archetypes of Zeus and whoever. Just because they’re statues and not icons, or are there other reasons this afflicts you so? The Sistine Chapel, while not my idea of beauty, is a scriptural work. Your paradigms seem polarized.

The Secret Behind Secret Societies loses all credibility when its opening statement (directed presumably at people who have no experience with anything Vatican apart from stark raving mad Romophobic libel), asserts that there is this seal that the Vatican uses on all its official (public) documents…except no one has ever seen it anywhere. This is just silly, infantile, laughable from head to toe, you have to to agree. And I do like a good laugh just like a good ghost story. But the buzz or rush something gives me doesn’t make me consider it profitable research automatically. On which side are the demons here? Are they all on my side that I need to be exorcised until I come to hearken to such lunacy as YouTube “research” proffers? Am I playing Satan, accuser, or is rather this man on The Secret Behind Secret Societies? Anything to divert attention away from Anglicanism, under whose patronage Masonry was brought to world-class refinement, because their histories are full of holes, but the Catholic Church doesn’t see it as her mission to be Satan and lash out against every other group out there. The sheep will instinctively follow the Good Shepherd. I realize that Protestants need to think the Catholic Church is the Whore of Babylon, not only because their pope Luther says she is, but because it’s the only way they can explain to themselves why they, though completely in the right, have been unable to wrench all the Church’s children away from her. It’s much easier to repeat juicy Biblical interpretations than admit to being human and wrong. Besides, it’s more fun. The only thing it isn’t is Christian.
But I generally wish groups would break that dirty habit of bad-mouthing other groups, be it aggressively or passively. And here is something I wrote about secret societies: “If I live in the Gospel I have no use for damnable secret societies or for damnable empire because all my secrets and my power are in God where they are safe, not in my imperfect fellow-men (whom my secrets and my power would only overburden without some extraordinary grace which I must not ordinarily presume upon). The secret society fronts a false anthropology. The secret society showboats a hollow interpretation of the term “brotherhood.” The secret society, whatever its flowery platitudes, does of its very nature invite perversion and corruption. The secret society gets its energy from the demonically calculated relaxation of all morals and ideals and the slow, sickening rotting of the soul. The secret society is an overgrown clique in defiance of the universal. The secret society is a hyperdeveloped faction in contempt of the community. The secret society, at the very least, traps dirt in the soul and makes us freaky strangers to those who ought to be our brothers (i.e. everyone). The secret society claims to be charitable (“haughtily condescending” would be nearer the mark) but is ultimately the cruelest thing there is because, due to its Occult nature, it is the quintessential denial of the Incarnation. And yes, I am talking about the Knights of Columbus, because just because a secret society claims to belong to my Church (and by all accounts that’s the only noticeable difference between them and the Freemasons) does not make it okay but all the more worthy of your and my sharpest rebuke!”
There are plenty of reasons to be torqued at the Church, so there’s really no need not to stick to plain ol’ known reality. Don’t build on sand; build on that other material, whatever Jesus called it…

Okay, it is well enough that we pause the dialogue: I want to explore what has hidden in plain sight long enough, and once you’ve this message carefully you can tell me if I’m just projecting or if we’re really making progress in a direction you’re itching deep down to go. (I’m fully aware that I’m probably going about this all wrong, but as G. K. Chesterton encourages, “Anything worth doing is worth doing badly.”)
Now it pains me to see anyone “wiggle out” so undignified like that, especially after (I naïvely thought) my showing them so many alternatives. (The Catholic Church’s members are all imperfect.) I hate to read how, as a last resort and in spite of all, you curtly vie to ensure that – flying in the face all the foregoing points made – I sound like the opinionated “bad guy” and you the heroic martyr (as your coreligionists have occasionally done as in the California “martyrdom” by the Jesuits you implicitly admitted was a fabrication); you make these unnatural contortions in a – believe me – truly vain attempt to force me into a position of covering myself even after I’ve set such a lush feast of verifiable facts without your even conceding one of them. You may have an appetite just for a certain kind of “information” as a child only wants certain foods, but it is your health that will suffer in the long-run. In the short-run I am hurt. But angry I is the last thing I am, because I seem to have a notion of what really afflicts you beneath your deceptively agile verbiage. So my best guess (based on what you’ve given me to work with) is this: you have a victim’s way of reading everything Catholic, and you are simply not emotionally ready to understand anything pope-related. So without wanting to put words in your mouth, I feel duty-bound to propose – truly for your health – that you consider coming out and saying (if only to yourself) that this is the case, that you have a habit of playing beyond your game then resenting the victor. And that is why I know it is not really your intention to be unfairly plaintive in your written expression, and I know this partially because, if you take my meaning, I’ve seriously been there.
Now you take this our dialogue as a case study. Even supposing your conclusions were correct, the fact remains that your your style, coupled with the kind of sources you reference, brutalizes the facts and forces one to imagine that the unbiased truth simply is not something on your radar screen (even though, paradox of paradoxes, having spent time with you in person, I know in the core of my being that it absolutely is!). This is doubly bittersweet (as I alluded to in one of my earlier responses) in the case of such a gifted person as yourself, but my sure hope is sky-high about the ultimate outcome. I have never believed in miracles as much as I do today. (I really haven’t.) And (again, if you take my meaning) I have so been there! And this brings me to probably what keeps you wanting to initiate communication with me: you and I have suffered some of the same emotional brutalizations. If we could find a space where it were appropriate, we should most likely just talk openly about those. That is totally your look-out.
Either way, I would like you to behold that it’s going to continue to hurt your proselytism with your current profile, though there truly are people you can reach even in the place where you presently. (Examples include that Protestant friend of yours.) But I think you want to be more, don’t you?
In our dialogue hitherto I have (I naïvely supposed) gone out of my way to be express on out where you are correct and where this dialogue has helped me to grow. In case I not make this sufficiently clear, it has helped me grow. But, like most people in this season, you seem to be putting yourself under undue Holy Day pressure and sound to be on your last nerve here, passively lashing out at me because, even though you cannot disagree with the premises of my argument, you are under so many layers of prejudice that you think nothing of denouncing the conclusions. On the one hand, this shows me how genuine your concern for my well-being is, and I won’t even try to express in an email how this fills me with warmth. But if the only guiding rule appears to be your own will (your “right to feel” if you will), if when you’re exhausted with too many facts you have already predetermined are “irrelevant” you your purpose and you must never integrate into your world-view, you leap over continents to the conclusion that I’m the same way, this makes (written) communication an ordeal at best from my end. In your defense, it’s good to have a focused purpose; that’s what living the Gospel is all about!
I draw a definite line between fact and fancy, God help me. That part of me won’t change (at least I hope it doesn’t), so if you had your hopes pinned on that happening then you are right to now “throw up your hands.” Only God do I allow to bypass my rational faculties, and this is something He does sparingly. But if you can yet state your case without wandering speculations – which is what I want you to do for both our sakes – this dialogue has real potential from my end. But either way, and whatever your present opinion of me, I would request that you please not insinuate I am acting by my own predetermined goals and then follow that so immediately with a “Merry Christmas.” Do not bury your prejudices under pleasantries. That is also unfair – to you mainly – and you generally give the impression that this is the sort of habit you may have cultivated for years hitherto, and I think that’s a significant part of the problem we’re having. (Or not.)
On a positive note, your honesty in these recent days is unprecedented. If you don’t mind my saying so, I’m glad to have given you a bit of a run for your mind. I am grateful for others who have done this to me. The progress in our communication is (in my view) palpable. But I shall not insist on continuing the dialogue if you are unwilling. The choice, then, is 100% yours. But if you’re too busy, I don’t think anyone holds that against you. I don’t.
Afterthought: you have a strongly developed intuitive, subconscious, subjective, emotive mind. This is important. But this is not all of the Gospel (not even of Saint John’s for my money), all of reality or all of you. You offer so much, yet ignoring those certain facts that don’t speak to your feelings does you less credit than you may believe, yet I’m telling myself that we’ve tapped into why you do it. Can you see how far this is from “Forget I brought it up”? I want so much for you to escape from your escapism: all the suffering and all the glory this metanoia has to offer.
I am not being generous but brutally sincere when I say that you are a wonderful person with much to teach me. A Happy Nativity Season to you and yours.

7.5.3 Effects of Aerosols and Clouds on Solar Radiation at the Earth’s Surface

By increasing aerosol and cloud optical depth, anthropogenic emissions of aerosols and their precursors contribute to a reduction of solar radiation at the surface. As such, worsening air quality contributes to regional aerosol effects. The partially conflicting observations on solar dimming/brightening are discussed in detail in Section 3.4 and Box 3.2. This section focuses on the possible contribution by aerosols. The decline in solar radiation from 1961 to 1990 affects the partitioning between direct and diffuse solar radiation: Liepert and Tegen (2002) concluded that over Germany, both aerosol absorption and scattering must have declined from 1975 to 1990 in order to explain the simultaneously weakened aerosol forcing and increased direct/diffuse solar radiation ratio. The direct/diffuse solar radiation ratio over the USA also increased from 1975 to 1990, likely due to increases in absorbing aerosols. Increasing aerosol optical depth associated with scattering aerosols alone in otherwise clear skies produces a larger fraction of diffuse radiation at the surface, which results in larger carbon assimilation into vegetation (and therefore greater transpiration) without a substantial reduction in the total surface solar radiation (Niyogi et al., 2004; Section 7.2.6.2).

For the tropical Indian Ocean, Ramanathan et al. (2001) estimate an indirect aerosol effect of –5 W m–2 at TOA and –6 W m–2 at the surface. While the direct effect is negligible at TOA, its surface forcing amounts to –14 W m–2 as a consequence of large atmospheric absorption in this region. In South Asia, absorbing aerosols may have masked up to 50% of the surface warming due to the global increase in greenhouse gases (Ramanathan et al., 2005). Global climate model estimates of the mean decrease in surface shortwave radiation in response to all aerosol effects vary between –1.3 and –3.3 W m–2 (Figure 7.23). It is larger than the TOA radiation flux change because some aerosols like black carbon absorb solar radiation within the atmosphere (see also Jacobson, 2001; Lohmann and Feichter, 2001; Ramanathan et al., 2001; Liepert et al., 2004). As for the TOA net radiation, the decrease is largest over land, with values approaching –9 W m–2. Consistent with the above-mentioned regional studies, most models predict larger decreases over land than over the oceans.

Global mean change in net solar radiation at the surface due to the total anthropogenic aerosol effect (direct, semi-direct and indirect cloud albedo and lifetime effects) from pre-industrial times to the present day and its contribution over the NH and SH, over oceans and over land and the ratio over oceans/land.

ARCPAC: Aerosol, Radiation and Cloud Processes affecting Arctic Climate
A NOAA Climate Forcing Program Project for the International Polar Year 2008
I. Background
Introduction
Global temperature records show a statistically significant warming in the last
century, with most of the change attributed to anthropogenically emitted greenhouse
gases and associated climate feedbacks (Fig. 1). Temperature increases in the Arctic
exceed the global annual average (Fig. 2), with maximum warming occurring in winter
and spring.
Closely linked to the observed and modeled warming is an observed decrease in
seasonal Arctic sea ice coverage and thickness. The minimum summertime extent of sea
ice is decreasing significantly (Fig. 3; Comiso, 2006), and this reduction now clearly
exceeds that expected from natural oceanographic and meteorological oscillations
(Johannessen et al., 2004; Francis and Hunter, 2006). Some models predict a fully icefree summertime Arctic Ocean (Winton, 2006), with attendant disruptions to Arctic
ecosystems, ocean circulation, and global climate. However, modeling of the Arctic
climate system is difficult due to complex and sensitive feedbacks (Serreze and Francis,
2006a,b) and many climate simulations struggle to replicate historical precipitation,
cloudiness, and sea ice properties (Walsh et al., 2002). Simulations of future climates
result in substantial model-to-model variability in Arctic climate parameters such as sea
ice extent and thickness, indicating that some important processes are not being
adequately described or simply are not included in the simulations (Winton, 2006).
Analyses of observations and recent climate simulations suggest that, in addition
to greenhouse gas-induced warming and feedbacks, Arctic warming may also be caused
by shorter-lived climate forcing agents. In particular, four processes have been
postulated to contribute significantly to observed atmospheric warming in the Arctic and
reductions in sea ice there. These processes include:
1) direct warming of the lower troposphere by the absorption of solar radiation and
IR emission by aerosol particles from anthropogenic and biomass burning sources
(e.g., Treffeisen, 2005; Ritter et al., 2005), 3
2) changes in snow melt due to deposition of soot (light-absorbing carbon) to the
surface in springtime (Hansen and Nazarenko, 2004; Flanner et al., 2007),
3) increases in IR emissivity of wintertime and springtime clouds in the Arctic due
to the effects of anthropogenic aerosol particles on cloud properties (Lubin and
Vogelmann, 2006; Garrett and Zhao, 2006), and
4) direct radiative effects of tropospheric ozone in the Arctic (Mickley et al., 1999;
Hansen et al., 2005).
During the International Polar Year of 2008, NOAA will engage in an airborne
field measurement campaign targeted at improving understanding of these four climaterelevant processes. This effort will be focused on direct measurements of properties and
processes that can be used to reduce uncertainty in radiation and climate models. The
measurements will be made in the Alaskan Arctic to closely coordinate with remotesensing and in situ observations planned for aircraft and ground sites in the vicinity of
Barrow, Alaska.

Climate processes in the Arctic
The Arctic undergoes significant annual changes in its energy budget which are
driven largely by the seasonal cycle in solar radiation, surface sensible energy fluxes, and
albedo. Surface energy fluxes are controlled in part by the presence and extent of a layer
of sea ice and surface snow that partially insulate the Arctic Ocean from the overlying
atmosphere in winter and spring. During summer the snow melts, and the sea ice retreats
in extent, thickness, and areal density, allowing significant sensible and latent energy
fluxes between the ocean and atmosphere. Snow on top of sea ice is prevalent throughout
the late fall, winter and spring, but is especially important radiatively during the
springtime months when it increases surface albedo and prevents the relatively dark,
underlying sea-ice from absorbing solar radiation as the sun begins to rise. Also driving
tropospheric energetics, and coupled with the sea ice annual cycle, are variations in lower
tropospheric clouds. These clouds warm the surface in the dark winter months by IR
absorption and re-emission, and cool the surface in the summertime by reflection of solar
radiation.
When coupled with ocean circulations, atmospheric dynamics and meteorology,
sea ice physics and wind forcings on sea-ice movement, the climate system in the Arctic
is seen to be a dynamic and complex system with many potential nonlinear feedbacks
both within the Arctic and with the global climate system. These feedbacks will modify
the climate effects of the well-documented phenomenon of large-scale air pollution
within the northern polar regions, known as Arctic haze.
Arctic haze
Pilots and surface sites in the Arctic have long reported the annual occurrence of
visibility-reducing aerosol hazes in the Arctic in springtime. An extensive literature has
documented the chemical and optical characteristics of these hazes, and a climatology of
some key parameters extending more than 20 years has been developed for a few Arctic
sites (e.g., Quinn et al., 2007). The aerosol is composed predominantly of sulfate and sea
salt, with lesser contributions from nitrate, soot, soil and trace elements, and organic
compounds (e.g., Quinn et al., 2002). There is a pronounced seasonal cycle to both
intensive (e.g., type, size, composition) and extensive (e.g., mass loading, number 6

, respectively, for a) Barrow, Alaska and b) Alert,

concentration) aerosol properties at surface sites throughout the Arctic (Figs. 4, 5).
During the time of maximum mass concentration—the late winter and early spring—
much of the aerosol is anthropogenic. There is some more limited evidence for a slightly
different seasonal cycle to Arctic haze properties aloft, with higher concentrations
occurring aloft later in the spring than at the surface (Scheuer et al., 2003). In addition,
aerosol layers associated with biomass burning sources have been observed in the Arctic
middle and upper troposphere in summer (Brock et al., 1989; Stohl, 2006).
By argument of isentropic transport, as well as more sophisticated analyses, the
dominant sources of the springtime surface aerosol maximum are seen to lie poleward of
the Arctic front (Fig. 6). On average, the largest contributions are believed to come from
northern Europe and the Russian Arctic, where large industrial complexes have long
operated (Sharma et al., 2006; Stohl, 2006). With declines in former Soviet Union
emissions, soot concentrations have fallen in the Arctic in springtime (e.g., Fig. 5, Quinn
et al., 2007). Because most industrial sources in North America lie southward of the
mean position of the Arctic front, and since advection from these sources to the Arctic
involves transport through the meteorologically active North Atlantic region,
Figure 6. Map showing mean positions of Arctic front in winter and summer, and main
transport pathways for pollution from the midlatitudes to the Arctic (Arctic Monitoring
and Assessment Programme, 2006). 8
North American sources are not believed to contribute more than occasionally to Arctic
haze (Stohl, 2006). Koch and Hansen (2005) suggest a significant contribution to
springtime Arctic soot loadings from industrialized regions of northeastern China, but
Stohl (2006) found this source region to be only a small contributor to the Arctic soot
budget.
II. Major uncertainties regarding atmospheric climate forcing in the Arctic
Model sensitivity studies indicate that, in addition to long-lived greenhouse gases
(LLGG), short-lived pollutants may play an important role in climate forcing in the
Arctic. However, despite more than 30 years of study of the sources and chemical
characteristics of Arctic haze, the climate-relevant properties of the aerosol are
inadequately characterized. As a consequence, climate models are not well constrained,
and major uncertainties remain in the magnitude of direct and indirect forcing by aerosols
in the Arctic and which anthropogenic sources contribute most to those forcings. As
noted previously, there are four primary processes not associated with LLGG that have
been identified as being possibly significant to Arctic climate.

Direct radiative forcing by aerosol particles
Direct radiative forcing refers to perturbations to the climate caused by the
interaction of aerosol particles with visible radiation. The direct radiative effects of
Arctic aerosols depend strongly on the single scatter albedo of the particles. Arctic haze
aerosol particles contain significant concentrations of carbon soot (Fig. 4), which is the
principal absorber of visible solar radiation, and which leads to a particle single scatter
ing albedo (ratio of scattered light to scattered and absorbed light) of ~0.94 (Delene and
Ogren, 2002). Quinn et al. (2007) calculated a net radiative heating of 1.6 W m
-2
in an
Arctic haze layer, with a surface cooling of 0.9 W m
-2
due to the presence of the
scattering and absorbing haze above the high-albedo surface. The haze layer was
calculated to warm by 0.25 K day
-1
, which is consistent with other recently determined
heating rates of 0.1-0.5 K day
-1
(Treffeissen et al., 2005). Heating of the surface by 9
infrared emission from the warmer atmosphere was not considered by Quinn et al., but
may compensate for some of the surface cooling (Ritter et al., 2005).
The infrared and dynamical consequences of atmospheric heating by an absorbing
aerosol will depend in part on the vertical distribution of the aerosol, which is poorly
characterized in the Arctic. Repeated vertical profiles during the NSF-sponsored TOPSE
project (Scheuer et al., 2002), and SAGE-II and -III satellite-based extinction
observations in the middle and upper Arctic troposphere (Treffeisen et al., 2006) suggest
that hazes aloft may be more prevalent later in the Arctic spring, while surface hazes may
dominate during winter and early spring. This shift in vertical structure may reflect a
shift in source region, with more southern sources at higher potential temperatures
contributing to the higher layers (Stohl, 2006). A seasonal change in removal processes
may also be a factor, as near-surface clouds and precipitation become more prevalent as
springtime progresses. As a consequence, the optical properties of the hazes may differ
both seasonally and with altitude.
The single scattering albedo of the Arctic haze aerosol has been reported from the
NOAA ESRL/GMD site at Barrow, Alaska since 1988 (Delene and Ogren, 2002; Quinn
et al., 2007). During the January-April peak haze season, monthly median single scatter
ing albedos ranged from 0.93 to 0.96, indicating a significant absorbing component to the
particles. However, these measurements were obtained at relative humidities <40%, and
do not reflect possible ambient enhancements in both scattering and absorption due to the
hygroscopic growth of particles under ambient conditions. Measurements of the
dependence of aerosol light scattering on relative humidity began at the NOAA Barrow
ground site in 2006 and will continue during and after the IPY. Aerosol measurements at
the NOAA Barrow observatory will be further enhanced in 2007 with the addition of
instruments for measuring the number concentration of cloud condensation nuclei as a
function of water supersaturation, and of the size distribution of particles in the range of
15-800 nm diameter.
The geographical source of the carbon soot that causes the observed optical
absorption is in question. Koch and Hansen (2005) used a general circulation model to
determine that industrial emissions and biofuel combustion in southern Asia are a major
source of soot to the Arctic. This finding has been disputed by Stohl (2006), who used a 10
particle dispersion and emission inventory model to identify Europe and northern Asia as
the main source of Arctic soot in springtime, both at the surface and aloft. There are only
a few Arctic sites at which regular measurements of aerosol absorption are made, with
those at the Barrow observatory (Quinn et al., 2007) and the Canadian Arctic site of Alert
(Sharma et al., 2004; 2005) having the longest records. To our knowledge there is no
information in the Arctic on the soot mass absorption cross-section (MAC, absorption per
unit mass of soot), which is necessary to relate modeled soot mass concentrations to
optical absorption. The state of understanding of the MAC is poor (Bond et al., 2006),
and new measurement techniques need to be applied to determine its mean value and
variability in the atmosphere.

Soot deposition to snow
Small reductions in the albedo of Arctic snow to solar radiation are calculated to
have globally significant climate effects (Fig. 1). Analysis of light absorbing material in
remote Arctic snow samples indicates that soot (light absorbing carbon) particles are
sufficient to reduce snow albedo by several percent (Warren and Wiscombe, 1980). A
recent global climate simulation of the atmospheric transport and deposition of soot to
Arctic snow was coupled with a detailed snow physics and radiation model (Flanner et
al., 2007). The perturbations to Arctic climate included shifting the peak in the snowmelt
season to almost a month earlier in springtime, limited primarily by available sunlight.
As a result of earlier snowmelt, the Arctic sea-ice underneath absorbed more solar
radiation and melted earlier, with resulting Arctic-wide temperature increases of >2 K.
As already noted for the case of direct radiative forcing by aerosols, the soot
budget in global chemical transport and climate models is poorly constrained (Bond et
al., 2004). The extreme stability of the Arctic lower troposphere further complicates the
linkage between soot mass concentrations in air and those in snow. Cloud nucleation/
precipitation scavenging is the primary mechanism that removes soot from the
atmosphere to the snow surface under the stable meteorological conditions prevalent
under the Arctic (Noone and Clarke, 1988). If soot is present in particles that are
effective ice nuclei (IN), it may be preferentially present in cloud ice particles. However,
measured concentrations of IN are a few to a few tens per liter of air, indicating that 11
incorporation of additional soot into snowfall by cloud droplet riming or aerosol
scavenging is necessary to achieve observed concentrations of soot in snow of tens to
hundreds of ppbm. These processes are dependent upon the phase of the cloud particles
(liquid water, ice, or a mixture of the two), details of the soot size distribution, and the
inclusion of the soot in cloud droplets or ice crystals during formation.

Indirect aerosol forcing
The aerosol indirect effect on clouds typically causes a cooling of the Earth’s
surface by increasing the reflection of visible solar radiation. The potential indirect effect
in the Arctic is especially large because of the significant cloud radiative couplings with
energetics and dynamics (e.g., Vavrus, 2004). Strong surface temperature inversions in
the Arctic persist throughout the diurnal cycle, producing a unique situation for cloud
radiative effects. When low clouds are warmer than the surface, then infrared radiation
from the clouds warms the surface. Measurements in the Arctic can therefore provide
significant tests of the infrared portion of the indirect effect.
Low-level boundary layer clouds are typical in the Arctic for all seasons [Curry et
al., 1996]. Despite the cold temperatures in the Arctic these clouds are typically mixedphase, even in winter and spring [Pinto, 1998; Intrieri et al., 2002]. The phase
distribution of condensed water is a fundamental microphysical property that affects the
radiative properties of Arctic clouds; detailed cloud-resolving model studies have shown
that by increasing IN number density by 2-3 times, a largely liquid stratus deck can be
transformed into a broken, optically-thin ice cloud system [Harrington et al., 1999; Jiang
et al., 2000; Harrington and Olsson, 2001]. The resulting ice cloud has a much lower
number density of particles; these sparse, relatively large ice crystals reduce the cloud
emissivity, which decreases the cloud’s warming potential, and settle relatively rapidly,
thereby initiating precipitation and reducing the lifetime of the cloud. Lynch et al. [1995]
found that including an IN parameterization increased precipitation by as much as 50%
and cooled the surface air temperature by up to 5
o
C over the baseline simulation without
ice microphysics. 12
Figure 7. Spectral emissivity from a radiative transfer calculation for an Arctic cloud
with constant liquid water content and variable effective radius (Lubin and Vogelmann,
2006).
Clouds in the springtime lower Arctic troposphere are often optically thin and
have low droplet number concentrations (<30 cm
-3
, Garrett and Zhao, 2006). Arctic haze
has been shown to increase the number density of these supercooled liquid cloud droplets
and decrease the droplet effective radii, thereby increasing the cloud longwave emissivity
(Fig. 7, Lubin and Vogelmann, 2006). However, the Arctic haze may also contribute
more (or less) IN, increasing (decreasing) the rate of cloud glaciation, which reduces
(increases) cloud longwave emissivity. To unravel this complexity we must be able to
describe the relative fractions of CCN and IN in the aerosol population for a given water
vapor supersaturation; this ratio may vary significantly as it is sensitive to the distribution
and mixing state of the particle chemical composition, which is constantly evolving as the
aerosol population ages and interacts with fresh emissions, both in and out of cloud.
Processes governing ozone abundance
Depletion of ozone in the arctic boundary layer occurs when bromine compounds
are activated by sunlight in the spring. The duration and extent of these events may
change with a changing climate and provide a feedback to ozone radiative forcing (Fig.
8). A full study of ozone production and loss rates is beyond the scope of this study. 13
Instead, the focus will be to improve the understanding of halogen initiated
photochemistry that destroys ozone. Although these events have been regularly observed
(e.g. Ridley et al., 2003), uncertainties remain regarding the source of the halogen
radicals and their transport (Simpson et al., 2007). Furthermore, vertically resolved
measurements have not been achieved for most of the halogen species involved in spring
time arctic boundary layer catalytic ozone destruction. Fast response measurements of
halogen species will be used to determine their vertical distribution. These measurements
can then be compared with model results (e.g. Lehrer et al, 2004) to test the
understanding of ozone depletion events and their possible relationship to radiative
forcing.
The combination of sea salt (Quinn et al, 2002) and conditions favorable to N2O5
formation (Tie et al, 2003) in the spring time arctic may make ClNO2, which can be
formed from reactions of N2O5 on chloride-containing aerosol particles, important to
polar boundary layer ozone. The specific halogen chemistry that we will examine
follows from the conversion of N2O5 to ClNO2. ClNO2 is photolyzed relatively rapidly
(0.5 to 1 hr lifetime), even under Arctic springtime conditions, to form NO2 and gasphase Cl atoms. This Cl is highly reactive towards VOCs and O3, forming either HCl or
ClO. The ClO radical reacts with HO2 producing HOCl, which is soluble and will be
taken up on aerosol particles and in droplets. Aqueous HOCl can further react with Cl

and Br

to produce the volatile compounds Cl2 and BrCl. BrCl can be photolyzed in the
gas phase, generating Cl and Br atoms, which cycle through the above chemistry again,
catalytically destroying ozone. The HOBr produced in the reaction of BrO with HO2 is
also soluble and will produce Br2 upon reaction with Br

. The species ClNO2, Cl2, BrCl,
Br2, and BrO, along with the extensive aerosol and O3 measurements that will be made
on the WP-3D, will give us the ability to assess the role of ClNO2 in initiating this ozone
destruction chemistry over a wide geographic area.
III. A NOAA-sponsored airborne campaign to investigate climate-relevant
atmospheric processes in the Arctic 14
Scientific questions to be addressed
NOAA will undertake a airborne field experiment, the Aerosol, Radiation, and
Cloud Processes affecting Arctic Climate (ARCPAC) in Alaska in late March and April
of 2008 to address the four major areas of non-greenhouse-gas atmospheric climate

Measurement requirements

The six science questions lead to specific measurement requirements: 17
R1) The stratified nature of the Arctic lower stratosphere requires airborne and
remote-sensing measurements so that the properties and processes occurring in and
near radiatively important haze layers and stratiform clouds can be investigated.
R2) Because of the vertically stratified and spatially non-uniform distribution of
Arctic haze, fast-response in situ gas- and aerosol-phase instruments are required.
R3) The climatic importance of aerosol optical properties and soot number and
mass require accurate and fast-response measurements of these parameters, along
with measurements of the variation in optical properties with relative humidity.
R4) Because of the strong potential climate interaction between aerosols and cloud
microphysical and radiative properties, detailed cloud microphysical and visible
and infrared radiation measurements are needed. Modeling is essential to interpret
the aerosol, cloud and radiation observations and extrapolate them to climaterelevant scales.
R5) Improving understanding of halogen photochemistry in the Arctic requires
accurate measurement of gas phase halogen species and their vertical distribution,
as well as measurements of ozone and photolytic fluxes.
R6) Transport, chemistry, and climate models are needed to relate the observed
aerosol and gas-phase characteristics to sources and transport mechanisms and to
evaluate their importance.

R7) Because ground sites are essential for developing climatologies and for
understanding the temporal changes in atmospheric processes in the Arctic, short
term airborne studies should be made at locations and times that can be linked to
the surface sites.
Based on scientific questions Q1-Q6 and the measurement requirements R1-R7
that logically follow, NOAA will operate a WP-3D aircraft in the Alaskan Arctic in
spring of 2008 as part of the International Polar Year (IPY). NOAA’s Earth System
Research Laboratory (ESRL) and extramural colleagues have developed a powerful set of
precise and accurate gas- and particle-phase instruments for airborne investigations of air
quality and climate-relevant chemical and microphysical processes ranging in scale from
tens of meters to intercontinental distances. In particular, NOAA has developed new,
sensitive instruments for determining aerosol optical properties, including a cavity
ringdown method for directly measuring aerosol extinction at multiple wavelengths and
its variation with relative humidity. 18
ESRL scientists have also substantially modified, evaluated, tested, and operated
on aircraft a recently developed commercial instrument that measures the number and
mass of individual soot particles and that can determine the amount of condensed coating
on them. NOAA has also developed an unique instrument for measuring the composition
of single aerosol particles and the residue from evaporated cloud particles, and has
optimized a commercial aerosol mass spectrometer for airborne non-refractory aerosol
composition measurements. In addition, the NOAA Aircraft Operations Center has
recently purchased a set of state-of-the-art cloud probes for measuring the number, size,
and shape of cloud and precipitation particles. With the addition of well-tested gas-phase
and radiometric measurements, this payload is ideal for addressing the climate-relevant
scientific questions outlined above (Table 1).
The diverse objectives of the ARCPAC project cannot be met without the
experimental and scientific talents of non-NOAAcolleagues. In particular, measurements
of IN, CCN, bulk aerosol composition, solar spectral irradiance and infrared irradiance,
VOCs, and transport and chemical-transport modeling require equipment and expertise
from researchers from universities, other governmental laboratories, and international
research organizations.
Coordination with other IPY activities
The atmospheric measurement portion of the IPY is coordinated under the Polar
Study Using Aircraft, Remote Sensing, Surface Measurements and Models of Climate,
Chemistry, Aerosols, and Transport (POLARCAT) program (http://zardoz.nilu.no/
~andreas/POLARCAT/). This program links a large number of atmospheric
measurements ranging across the Eurasian, Canadian, and Alaskan Arctic together with
transport, chemistry, and climate models. A partner in POLARCAT is the Indirect and
Semi-Direct Aerosol Campaign (ISDAC) sponsored by the U. S. Department of Energy.
ISDAC is an intensive cloud and aerosol observing program that will be based at the
Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) site near Barrow, Alaska during April
2008, and which will involve detailed surface remote sensing and airborne measurements
of aerosol and cloud properties. Adjacent to the Barrow ARM site is the NOAA
ESRL/GMD baseline monitoring station. This site will operate a variety of instruments 19

for measuring aerosol scattering, absorption, size distribution, CCN concentration, and
composition. The intensive measurement campaigns planned for Barrow in April 2008
make this location a logical ground site with which to coordinate the WP-3D flights.
During the study period, the research vessel Knorr will be sponsored by the
NOAA Marine Operations Center as the primary platform for the International Chemistry
Experiment in the Arctic Lower Troposphere (ICEALOT) experiment
http://saga.pmel.noaa.gov/Field/icealot/. Measurements of aerosol optical, microphysical, cloud-activation and chemical properties, along with gas-phase, remote sensing,
and meteorological variables, will be made in the North Greenland and Barents Seas.
This region is one of the primary transport pathways from Europe to
the Arctic (Stohl et al., 2006), and measurements in this area will provide information on
the properties of relatively fresh anthropogenic pollution as it enters the Arctic. This
information can be contrasted with the airborne measurements of more aged Arctic
aerosols to improve understanding of transformation processes occurring during the
aerosol’s long lifetime in the Arctic.
During April of 2008 period, the NASA/University of North Dakota DC-8
aircraft, as well as remote-sensing airborne platforms, will operate as part of the Arctic
Research of the Composition of the Troposphere from Aircraft and Satellites (ARCTAS)
program. This airborne and satellite remote sensing mission will focus on aerosol
properties and ozone chemistry, and will be based at Kiruna, Sweden and Fairbanks,
Alaska during this springtime period. The NOAA WP-3D measurements of reactive
halogenated gas species will complement the more extensive DC-8 payload of HOx and
other species related to ozone production and loss rates.
Measurement location
Understanding of the context and representativeness of the WP-3D airborne
measurements will be improved by connecting the measurements with those made by
DOE and NOAA at their respective surface sites at Barrow, Alaska during the key
springtime transition season of April (Fig. 9). Fairbanks, Alaska is the best location near
Barrow for operating a large aircraft such as NOAA’s WP-3D. The WP-3D has the
appropriate range, endurance, altitude capability and payload for the investigations 21
outlined here. This aircraft is capable of operating safely in the demanding Arctic
environment while performing multiple vertical profiles, long-ranging horizontal
transects, and low-altitude sampling. With >8-hour endurance, a WP-3D can fly from
Fairbanks to Barrow and conduct more than 4 hours of research in the vicinity before
returning to Fairbanks (Fig. 9). The horizontal legs from Fairbanks to Barrow can
provide additional information regarding the latitudinal gradient in aerosol properties
across the mean position of the Arctic front.
Meteorology and modeling
The FLEXPART model will be used to identify specific regions of anthropogenic
pollutants, and, with newly developed polar-orbiting satellite capabilities, guide the
aircraft to regions likely to have aerosol-cloud interactions. The FLEXPART model
couples transport simulations using forecast or analyzed meteorological fields and
convective parameterizations with emission inventories to predict the locations and
concentrations of specific trace species (Stohl, 2006). Post-flight verification and
quantification of anthropogenic influence will utilize tracer species carbon monoxide
(CO), CO2, sulfur dioxide (SO2), and soot.
The FLEXPART model will also be used to diagnose specific source regions of
observed haze layers at different altitudes, and to estimate the length of time that air
parcels have been within the Arctic region. These “polar age” estimates can be compared
with hydrocarbon ratio measurements to improve understanding of transport and aging
processes within the Arctic.
In addition to transport modeling, diagnostic cloud models are being developed to
compare with the in situ and remote sensing observations of aerosol and cloud properties.
The specific model-measurement comparisons (Table 2) should permit a thorough
evaluation of the level of understanding of cloud droplet nucleation and growth, ice
formation, aerosol scavenging, and IR emission within the mixed-phase clouds expected
in the Arctic. The improvement in understanding of these key processes should lead to
better parameterizations for the global climate models that are required to diagnose
climate forcings and feedbacks between the atmosphere, sea ice, and ocean. 22

The U.S. government routinely conducts experiments on weather modification, and has been doing so for at least half a century. Previously classified under such names as “Project Cirrus” (1947) and “Project Popeye” (1966), weather modification is no longer a secret practice. In fact, a bill (S517) was sponsored in 2005 by Texas Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson, a Republican, “to establish the Weather Modification Operations and Research Board, and for other purposes.” This bill did not become law. Yet, there is reason to believe that various government institutions are carrying out numerous legal and illegal weather experiments without informing the public.

This isn’t just a suspicion of the United States. The Chinese government announced in April the creation of the first-ever artificial snowfall over the city of Nagqu in Tibet. The event was only one in a series of Chinese weather modification experiments that have been going on for years. China, in fact, now conducts more cloud seeding projects than any other nation.

Cloud seeding through the use of silver iodide was discovered as a viable way to make rain clouds in 1946. In 1947, the U.S. military attempted to use this method to seed a hurricane, which later hit the Georgia coast near Savannah. In the mid-1960s, similar techniques were used in hopes of muddying the Ho Chi Minh Trail in Vietnam. The idea was to slow enemy troop movements through the introduction of inclement weather, and conversely to prevent foul weather over allies.

But cloud seeding with silver iodide is an archaic technique compared with newer advances in nanotechnology and other methods for weather monitoring and control. Microelectric Mechanical Sensors (MEMS) and the newer Global Environmental MEMS Sensors (GEMS), are extremely tiny machines used to monitor weather patterns.

No larger than dust particles, the sensors are designed to be sent up inside hurricanes and other weather systems in large numbers, reporting back data as they literally become a part of those systems. This data can later be used to improve weather forecasting and potentially control the weather through a better understanding of the complex mathematics involved in such systems. One goal is to “steer” these systems, sending them to specific targets and increasing or decreasing their size.

Another extremely controversial participant in the weather modification game is the infamous HAARP antenna grid in Gakona, Alaska. HAARP, the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program, is an enormous array of antennas inspired by the free energy experiments of 19th-century electrical playboy Nikola Tesla. Commencing sometime around 1990, HAARP was only recently declassified, and much of the current research there is said to take place in secret.

HAARP fires massive amounts of energy into the ionosphere, heating and distorting a section up to 30 miles in diameter. There are various strange and frightening claims made about the project. It may be capable of shifting the position of the jetstream, which could impact global weather in ways that we still do not understand well. Other claims about HAARP, such as that it is part of a massive government mind-control operation or that it forms the main component of a giant death ray, are difficult to verify. But these theories are not as implausible as one might think.

Even in the face of mountains of evidence, many people still believe that weather modification of any kind is only a fantasy. People must be aware that these technologies have been around for a long time, are indeed being used and have great potential for dangerous and unethical uses. Our planet’s weather is part of a single interconnected system and any change to it, whether natural or not, affects every other element of that system. The organizations most interested in modifying this system appear to be applying their theories in incredibly irresponsible ways.

WELCOME ABOARD
This publication marks the 25th anniversary of the Third World War, called the “Quiet War,” being conducted using subjective biological warfare, fought with “silent weapons.”

This book contains an introductory description of this war, its strategies, and its weaponry.

May 1979 #74-1120

SECURITY

It is patently impossible to discuss social engineering or the automation of a society, i.e., the engineering of social automation systems (silent weapons) on a national or worldwide scale without implying extensive objectives of social control and destruction of human life, i .e., slavery and genocide.

This manual is in itself an analog declaration of intent. Such a writing must be secured from public scrutiny. Otherwise, it might be recognized as a technically formal declaration of domestic war. Furthermore, whenever any person or group of persons in a position of great power, and without the full knowledge and consent of the public, uses such knowledge and methodology for economic conquest — it must be understood that a state of domestic warfare exists between said person or group of persons and the public.

The solution of today’s problems requires an approach which is ruthlessly candid, with no agonizing over religious, moral, or cultural values.

You have qualified for this project because of your ability to look at human society with cold objectivity, and yet analyze and discuss your observations and conclusions with others of similar intellectual capacity without a loss of discretion or humility. Such virtues are exercised in your own best interest. Do not deviate from them.

HISTORICAL INTRODUCTION

Silent weapon technology has evolved from Operations Research (O.R.), a strategic and tactical methodology developed under the military management in England during World War II. The original purpose of Operations Research was to study the strategic and tactical problems of air and land defense with the objective of effective use of limited military resources against foreign enemies (i.e., logistics).

It was soon recognized by those in positions of power that the same methods might be useful for totally controlling a society. But better tools were necessary.

Social engineering (the analysis and automation of a society) requires the correlation of great amounts of constantly changing economic information (data), so a high speed computerized data processing system was necessary which could race ahead of the society and predict when society would arrive for capitulation.

Relay computers were too slow, but the electronic computer, invented in 1946 by J. Presper Eckert and John W. Mauchly filled the bill.

The next breakthrough was the development of the simplex method of linear programming in 1947 by the mathematician, George B. Dantzig.

Then, in 1948, the transistor, invented by J. Bardeen, W. H. Brattain, and W. Shockley, promised great expansion of the computer field by reducing space and power requirements.

With these three inventions under their direction, those in positions of power strongly suspected that it was possible for them to control the whole world with the push of a button.

Immediately, the Rockefeller Foundation got in on the ground floor by making a four year grant to Harvard College, funding the Harvard economic research project for the study of the structure of the American economy. One year later, in 1949, the United States Air Force joined in.

In 1952 the original great period terminated, and a high level meeting of the elite was held to determine the next phase of social operations research. The Harvard project had been very fruitful as is borne out by the publication of some of its results in 1953 suggesting the feasibility of economic (social) engineering. (Studies in the Structure of the American Economy — copyright 1953 by Wassily Leontief, International Sciences Press Inc., White Plains, New York.)

Engineered in the last half decade of the 1940′s, the new Quiet War machine stood, so to-speak, in sparkling gold plated hardware on the showroom floor by 1954.

With the creation of the Maser in 1954, the promise of unlocking unlimited sources of fusion atomic energy from the heavy hydrogen in sea water and the consequent availability of unlimited social power became a possibility only decades away.

The combination was irresistible.

The Quiet War was quietly declared by the international elite at a meeting held in 1954.

Although the silent weapons system was nearly exposed 13 years later, the evolution of the new weapon system has never suffered any major setbacks.

This volume marks the 25th anniversary of the beginning of the Quiet War. Already this domestic war has had many victories on many fronts throughout the world.

POLITICAL INTRODUCTION

In 1954 it was well recognized by those in positions of authority that it was only a matter of time, only a few decades, before the general public would be able to grasp and upset the cradle of power, for the very elements of the new silent weapon technology were as accessible for a public utopia as they were for providing a private utopia.

The issue of primary concern that of dominance, revolved around the subject of the energy sciences.

ENERGY

Energy is recognized as the key to all activity on earth. Natural science is the study of the sources and control of natural energy, and social science, theoretically expressed as economics, is the study of the sources and control of social energy. Both are bookkeeping systems; mathematics. Therefore, mathematics is the primary energy science. And the bookkeeper can be king if the public can be kept ignorant of the methodology of the bookkeeping.

All science is merely a means to an end. The means is knowledge. The end is control. Beyond this remains only one issue, “who will be the beneficiary?”.

In 1954 this was the issue of primary concern. Although the so-called “moral Issues” were raised, in view of the law of natural selection it was agreed that a nation or world of people who will not use their intelligence are no better than animals who do not have intelligence. Such a people are beasts of burden and steaks on the table by choice and consent.

CONSEQUENTLY, in the interest of future world order, peace, and tranquility, it was decided to privately wage a quiet war against the American public with an ultimate objective of permanently shifting the natural and social energy (wealth) of the undisciplined and irresponsible many into the hands of the self-disciplined, responsible, and worthy few.

In order to implement this objective, it was necessary to create, secure, and apply new weapons which, as it turned out, were a class of weapons so subtle and sophisticated in their principle of operation and public appearance as to earn for themselves the name ‘silent weapons’.

In conclusion, the objective of economic research, as conducted by the magnates of capital (banking) and the industries of commodities (goods) and services, is the establishment of an economy which is totally predictable and manipulatable.

In order to achieve a totally predictable economy, the low class elements of the society must be brought under total control, i.e., must be house-broken, trained, and assigned a yoke and long term social duties from a very early age, before they have an opportunity to question the propriety of the matter. In order to achieve such conformity, the lower class family unit must be disintegrated by a process of increasing preoccupation of the parents and the establishment of government operated day care centers for the occupationally orphaned children.

The quality of education given to the lower class must be of the poorest sort, so that the meat of ignorance isolating the the inferior class from the superior class is and remains incomprehensible to the inferior class. With such an initial handicap, even bright lower class individuals have little if any hope of extricating themselves from their assigned lot in life. This form of slavery is essential to maintaining some measure of social order, peace, and tranquility for the ruling upper class.

DESCRIPTIVE INTRODUCTION OF THE SILENT WEAPON

Everything that is expected from an ordinary weapon is expected from a silent weapon by its creators, but only in it its own manner of functioning.

It shoots situations, instead of bullets; propelled by data processing, instead of chemical reaction (explosion); originating from bits of data, instead of grains of gunpowder; from a computer, instead of a gun; operated by a computer programmer, instead of marksman; under the orders of a banking magnate, instead of a military general.

It makes no obvious explosive noises, causes no obvious physical or mental injuries, and does not obviously interfere with anyone’s daily social life.

Yet it makes an unmistakable ‘noise’, causes unmistakable physical and mental damage, and unmistakably interferes with daily social life, i.e., unmistakable to a trained observer, one who knows what to look for.

The public cannot comprehend this weapon, and therefore cannot believe that they are being attached and subdued by a weapon.

The public might instinctively feel that something is wrong, but because of the technical nature of the silent weapon, they cannot express their feeling in a rational way, or handle the problem with intelligence. Therefore, they do not know how to cry for help, and do not know how to associate with others to defend themselves against it.

When a silent weapon is applied gradually to the public, the public adjusts/adapts to its presence and learns to tolerate its encroachment on their lives until the pressure (psychological via economic) becomes too great and they crack up.

Therefore, the silent weapon is a type of biological war fare. It attacks the vitality, options, and mobility of the individuals of a society by knowing, understanding, manipulating, and attacking their sources of natural and social energy, and their physical, mental, and emotional strengths and weaknesses.

THEORETICAL INTRODUCTION

“Give me control over a nation’s currency, and I care not who makes its laws.”

Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1743-1812)

Today’s silent weapons technology is an outgrowth of a simple idea discovered, succinctly expressed, and effectively applied by the quoted Mr. Mayor Amschel Rothschild. Mr. Rothschild discovered the missing passive component of economic theory known as economic inductance. He, of course, did not think of his discovery in these 20th century terms, and to be sure, mathematical analysis had to wait for the Second Industrial Revolution, the rise of the theory of mechanics and electronics, and finally, the invention of the electronic computer before it could be effectively applied in the control of the world economy.

GENERAL ENERGY CONCEPTS

In the study of energy systems, there always appear three elementary concepts. These are potential energy, kinetic energy, and energy dissipation. And corresponding to these concepts, there are three idealized, essentially pure physical counterparts, called passive components.

(1) In the science of physical mechanics, the phenomenon of of potential energy is associated with a physical property called elasticity or stiffness, and can be represented by a stretched spring.

In electronic science, potential energy is stored in a capacitor instead of a spring. This property is called capacitance instead of elasticity or stiffness.

(2) In the science of physical mechanics, the phenomenon of kinetic energy is associated with a physical property called inertia or mass and can be represented by a mass or a flywheel in motion.

In electronic science, kinetic energy is stored in an inductor (in a magnetic field) instead of a mass. This property is called inductance instead of inertia.

(3) In the science of physical mechanics, the phenomenon of energy dissipation is associated with a physical property called friction or resistance, and can be represented by a dashpot or other device which converts system energy into heat.

In electronic science, dissipation of energy is performed by an element called either a resistor or a conductor, the term ‘resistor’ being the one generally used to express the concept of friction, and the term ‘conductor’ being generally used to describe a more ideal device (e.g., wire) employed to convey electric energy efficiently from one location to another. The property of a resistor or conductor is measured as either resistance or conductance, reciprocals.

In economics these three energy concepts are associated with:

(1) Economic Capacitance — Capital (money, stock/inventory, investments in building and durables, etc.)

(2) Economic Conductance — Goods (production flow coefficients)

(3) Economic Inductance — Services (the influence of the population of industry on output).

All of the mathematical theory developed in the study of one energy system, (e.g., mechanics, electronics, etc.) can be immediately applied in the study of any other energy system (e.g., economics).

MR. ROTHSCHILD’S ENERGY DISCOVERY

What Mr. Rothschild had discovered was the basic principle of power, influence, and control over people as applied to economics. That principle is “when you assume the appearance of power, people soon give it to you”.

Mr. Rothschild had discovered that currency or deposit loan accounts had the required appearance of power that could be used to induce people (inductance, with people corresponding to a magnetic field) into surrendering their real wealth in exchange for a promise of greater wealth (instead of real compensation). They would put up real collateral in exchange for a loan of promissory notes. Mr. Rothschild found that he could issue more notes than he had backing for, so long as he had someone’s stock of gold as a persuader to show to his customers.

Mr. Rothschild loaned his promissory notes to individuals and to governments. These would create over-confidence. Then he would make money scarce, tighten control of the system, and collect his collateral through the obligation of contracts. The cycle was then repeated. These pressures could be used to ignite a war. Then he would control the availability of currency to determine who would win the war. That government which agreed to give him control of its economic system got his support. Collection of debts was guaranteed by economic aid to the enemy of the debtor. The profit derived from this economic methodology made Mr. Rothschild all the more wealthy and all the more able to extend his wealth. He found that the public greed would allow currency to be printed by government order beyond the limits (inflation) of backing in precious metal or the production of goods and services (gross national product, GNP).

APPARENT CAPITAL AS “PAPER” INDUCTOR

In this structure, credit, presented as a pure circuit element called “currency”, has the appearance of capital, but is, in fact, negative capital. Hence, it has the appearance of service, but is, in fact, indebtedness or debt. It is therefore an economic inductance instead of an economic capacitance, and if balanced in no other way, will be balanced by the negation of population (war, genocide). The total goods and services represents real capital called the gross national product, and currency may be printed up to this level and still represent economic capacitance; but currency printed beyond this level is subtractive, represents the introduction of economic inductance, and constitutes notes of indebtedness. War is therefore the balancing of the system by killing the true creditors (the public which we have taught to exchange true value for inflated currency) and falling back on whatever is left of the resources of nature and the regeneration of those resources.

Mr. Rothschild had discovered that currency gave him the power to rearrange the economic structure to his own advantage,, to shift economic inductance to those economic positions which would encourage the greatest economic instability and oscillation.

The final key to economic control had to wait until there was sufficient data and high speed computing equipment to keep close watch on the economic oscillations created by price shocking and excess paper energy credits — (paper inductance/inflation).

BREAKTHROUGH

The aviation field provided the greatest evolution in economic engineering by way of the mathematical theory of shock testing. In this process, a projectile is fired from an airframe on the ground and the impulse of the recoil is monitored by vibration transducers connected to the airframe and wired to chart recorders. By studying the echoes or reflections of the recoil impulse in the airframe, it is possible to discover critical vibrations in the structure of the airframe which either vibrations of the negine or aeolian vibrations of the wings, or a combination of the two, might reinforce resulting in a reconant self-destruction of the airframe in flight as an aircraft. From the standpoint of engineering, this means that the strengths and weaknesses of the structure of the airframe in terms of vibrational energy can be discovered and manipulated.

APPLICATION IN ECONOMICS

To use this method of airframe shock testing in economic engineering, the prices of commodities are shocked, and the public consumer reaction is monitored. The resulting echoes of the economic shock are interpreted theoretically by computers and the psycho-economic structure of the economy is thus discovered. It is by this process that partial differential and difference matricos are discovered that define the family household and make possible its evolution as an economic industry (dissipative consumer structure). Then the response of the household to future shocks can be predicted and manipulated, and society becomes a well regulated animal with its reins under the control of a sophisticated computer-regulated social energy bookkeeping system.

Eventually every individual element of the structure comes under computer control through a knowledge of personal preferences, such knowledge guaranteed by computer association of consumer preferences (universal product code — UPC — zebra stripe pricing codes on packages) with identified consumers (identified via association with the use of a credit card and later a permanent ‘tattooed’ body number invisible under normal ambient illumination.

SUMMARY

Economics is only a social extension of a natural energy system. It, also, has its three passive components. Because of the distribution of wealth and the lack of communication and consequent lack of data, this field has been the last energy field for which a knowledge of these three passive components has been developed.

Since energy is the key to all activity on the face of the earth, it follows that in order to attain a monopoly of energy, raw materials, goods, and services and to establish a world system of slave labor, it is necessary to have a first strike capability in the field of economics. In order to maintain our position, it is necessary that we have absolute first knowledge of the science of control over all economic factors and the first experience at engineering the world economy.

In order to achieve such sovereignty, we must at least achieve this one end: that the public will not make either the logical or mathematical connection between economics and the other energy sciences or learn to apply such knowledge.

This is becoming increasingly difficult to control because more and more businesses are making demands upon their computer programmers to create and apply mathematical models for the management of those businesses.

It is only a matter of time before the new breed of private programmer/economists will catch on to the far reaching implications of the work begun at Harvard in 1948. The speed with which they can communicate their warning to the public will largely depend upon how effective we have been at controlling the media, subverting education, and keeping the public distracted with matters of no real importance.

THE ECONOMIC MODEL

Economics, as a social energy science has as a first objective the description of the complex way in which any given unit of resources is used to satisfy some economic want. (Leontief Matrix) The first objective, when it is extended to get the most product from the least or limited resources, comprises that objective of general military) and industrial logistics known as Operations Research. (See simplex method of linear programming.)

The Harvard Economic Research Project (1948-) was an extension of World War II Operations Research. Its purpose was to discover the science of controlling an economy; at first the American economy, and then the world economy. It was felt that with sufficient mathematical foundation and data, it would be nearly as easy to predict and control the trend of an economy as to predict and control the trajectory of a projectile. Such as proven to be the case. Moreover, the economy has been transformed into a guided missile on target.

The immediate aim of the Harvard project was to discover the economic structure, what forces change that structure, how the behavior of the structure can be predicted, and how it can be manipulated. What was needed was a well organized knowledge of the mathematical structures and interrelationships of investment, production, distribution, and consumption. To make a short story of it all, it was discovered than an economy obeyed the same, laws as electricity and that all of the mathematical theory and practical and computer know-how developed for the electronic field could be directly applied in the study of economics. This discovery was not openly declared, and its more subtle implications were and are kept a closely guarded secret, for example that in an economic model, human life is measured in dollars, and that the electric spark generated when opening a switch connected to an active inductor in mathematically analogous to the initiation of a war.

The greatest hurdle which theoretical economists faced was the accurate description of the household as an industry. This is a challenge, because consumer purchases are a matter of choice which in turn is influenced by income, price, and other economic factors.

This hurdle was cleared in an indirect and statistically approximate way by an application of shock testing to determine the current characteristics, called current technical coefficients, of a household industry. Why GAS Costs $2.00 Per Gallon

Finally, because problems in theoretical economics can be translated very easily into problems in theoretical electronics, and the solution translated back again, it follows that only a book of language translation and concept definition needed to be written for economics. The remainder could be gotten from standard works on mathematics and electronics. This makes the publication of books on advanced economics unnecessary, and greatly simplifies project security.

INDUSTRIAL DIAGRAMS

An ideal industry is defined as a device which receives value from other industries in several forms and converts it into one specific product for sales and distribution to other industries. It has several inputs and one output. What the public normally thinks of as one industry is really an industrial complex where several industries under one roof produce one or more products.

The flow of product from industry #1 (supply) to industry #2 (demand) is denoted by 112. The total flow out of industry ‘K’ is denoted by I k . (sales, etc.)

A node is a symbol of collection and distribution of flow. Node #3 receives from industry #3 and distributes to industries #1 through #3. If industry #3 manufactures chairs, then a flow from Industry #3 back to industry #3 simply indicates that industry #3 is using part of its own output product, for example, as office furniture. Therefore, the flow may be summarized by the equations:

THREE INDUSTRIAL CLASSES

Industries fell into three categories or class by type of output.

Class #1 – Capital (resources)

Class #2 – Goods (commodities or use – dissipative)

Class #3 – Services (action of population)

Class # 1 Industries exist at three levels

(1) Nature – sources of energy and raw materials.

(2) Government – printing of currency equal to gross national product (GNP), and extension of currency in excess of GNP.

(3) Banking – loaning of money for interest, and extension (counterfeiting) of economic value through deposit loan account – inflation.

Class # 2 industries exist as producers of tangible or consumer (dissipated) products. This sort of activity is usually recognized and labeled by the public as an ‘industry’.

Class # 3 industries are those which have service rather than a tangible product as their output. These industries are called (1) households, and (2) governments. Their output is human activity of a mechanical sort, and their basis is population.

AGGREGATION

The whole economic system can be represented by a three industry model if one allows the names of the outputs to be (1) capital, (2) goods, and (3) services. The problem with this representation is that it would not show the influence of, say, the textile industry on the ferrous metal industry. This is because both the textile industry and the ferrous metal industry would be contained within a single classification called the ‘goods industry’ and by this process of combining or aggregating these two industries under one system block they would lose their economic individuality.

THE E-MODEL

A national economy consists of simultaneous flows of production, distribution, consumption, and investment. If all of these elements including labor and human functions are assigned a numerical value in like units of measure, say, 1939 dollars, on this flow can be further represented by a current flow in an electronic circuit, and its behavior can be predicted and manipulated with useful precision.

The three ideal passive energy components of electronics, the capacitor, the resistor, and the inductor correspond to the three ideal passive energy components of economics called the pure industries of capital, goods, and services, resp..

Economic capacitance represents the storage of capital in one form or another.

Economic conductance represents the level of conductance of materials for the production of goods.

Economic inductance represents the inertia of economic value in motion. This is a population phenomenon known as services.

ECONOMIC INDUCTANCE

An electrical inductor (e.g., a coil of wire) has an electric current as its primary phenomenon and a magnetic field as its secondary phenomenon (inertia). Corresponding to this, an economic inductor has a flow of economic value as its primary phenomenon and a population field as its secondary phenomenon of inertia. When the flow of economic value (e.g., money) diminishes, the human population field collapses in order to keep the economic value (money) flowing (extreme case – war).

The public inertia is a result of consumer buying habits, expected standard of living, etc., and is generally a phenomenon of self-preservation.

INDUCTIVE FACTORS TO CONSIDER

(1) Population

(2) magnitude of the economic activities of the government.

(3) the method of financing these government activities (see Peter-Paul Principle-inflation of the currency)

TRANSLATION

(A few examples will be given.)

CAPITANCE — coulombs per volt.

– dollars of production inventory/stock per dollar demand.

TIME-FLOW RELATIONSHIPS AND SELF-DESTRUCTIVE OSCILLATIONS

An ideal industry may be symbolized electronically in various ways. The simplest way is to represent a demand by a voltage and a supply by a current. When this is done, the relationship between the two becomes what is called an admittance, which can result from three economic factors: (1) hindsight flow, 2) present flow, and (3) foresight flow.

Foresight flow is the result of that property of living entities to cause energy (food) to be stored for a period of low energy (e.g., a winter season). It consists of demands made upon an economic system for that period of low energy (winter season). In a production industry it takes several forms, one of which is known as production stock or inventory. In electronic symbology this specific industry demand (a pure capital industry) is represented by capacitance and the stock or resource is represented by a stored charge. Satisfaction of an industry demand suffers a lag because of the loading effect of inventory priorities.

Present flow ideally involves no delays. It is, so to speak, input today for output today, a ‘hand to mouth’ flow. In electronic symbology, this specific industry demand (a pure use industry) is represented by a conductance which is then a simple economic valve (a dissipative element).

Hindsight flow is known as habit or inertia. In electronics, this phenomenon is the characteristic of an inductor (economic analog = a pure service industry) in which a current flow (economic analog = flow of money) creates a magnetic field (economic analog = active human population) which, if the current (money flow) begins to diminish, collapses (war) to maintain the current (flow of money — energy).

Other large alternatives to war as economic inductors or economic flywheels are an open-ended social welfare program, or enormous (but fruitful) open-ended space program.

The problem with stabilizing the economic system is that there is too much demand on account of (1) too much greed and (2) too much population.

This creates excessive economic inductance which can only be balanced with economic capacitance (true resources or value – e.g. in goods or services). The social welfare program is nothing more than an open-ended credit balance system which creates a false capital industry to give non-productive people a roof over their heads and food in their stomachs. This can be useful, however, because the recipients become state property, in return for the ‘gift’ , a standing array for the elite. For he who pays the piper, picks the tune. Those who get hooked on the economic drug, must go to the elite for a fix. In this, the method of introducing large amounts of stabilizing capacitance is by borrowing on the future ‘credit’ of the world. This is a fourth law of motion — onset, and consists of performing an action and leaving the system before the reflected reaction returns to the point of action — a delayed reaction. The means of surviving the reaction is by changing the system before the reaction can return. By this means, politicians become popular in their own time and the public pays for it later. In fact the measure of such a politician is the delay time. The same thing is achieved by a government by printing money beyond the limit of the gross national product, an economic process called inflation. This puts a large quantity of money into the hands of the public and maintains a balance against their greed, creates a false self-confidence in them and, for a while, stays the wolf from the door.

They must eventually resort to war to balance the account, because war ultimately is merely the act to keep the responsibility and blood off the public conscience. (See section on consent factors and social-economic structuring.)

If the people really cared about their fellow man, they would control their appetites (greed, procreation, etc.) so that they would not have to operate on a credit or welfare social system which steals from this worker to satisfy the bum.

Since most of the general public will not exercise restraint, there are only two alternatives to reduce the economic inductance of the system.

(1) Let the populace bludgeon each other to death in war, which will only result in a total destruction of the living earth.

(2) Take control of the world by the use of economic ‘silent weapons’ in a form of ‘quiet warfare’, and reduce the economic inductance of the world to a safe level by a process of benevolent slavery and genocide.

The latter option has been taken as the obviously better option. At this point it should be crystal clear to the reader why absolute secrecy about the silent weapons is necessary. The general public refuses to improve its own mentality and its faith in its fellow man. It has become a herd of proliferating barbarians, and, so’ to speak, a blight upon the fate of the earth. They do not care enough about economic science to learn why they have not been able to avoid war despite religious morality, and their religious or self-gratifying refusal to deal with earthly problems renders the solution of the earthly problem unreachable by them. It is left to those few who are truly willing to think and survive as the fittest to survive, to solve the problem for themselves as the few who really care. Otherwise, exposure of the silent weapon would destroy our only hope of preserving the seed of future true humanity.

THE HOUSEHOLD INDUSTRY

The industries of finance (banking), manufacturing, and government, real counterparts of the pure industries of capital, goods, and services, are easily defined because they are generally logically structured. Because of this their processes can be described mathematically and their technical coefficients can be easily deduced. This, however, is not the case with the service industry known as the household industry.

HOUSEHOLD MODELS

When the industry flow diagram is represented by a 2-block system of households on the right and all other industries on the left, the following results.

(labor, etc.)

The arrows from left to right labeled A, B, C, etc., denote flow of economic value from the industries in the left hand block to the industry in the right hand block called ‘households’. These may be thought of as the monthly consumer flows of the following commodities. A – alcoholic beverages, B – beef, C – coffee, …, U – unknown, etc..

The problem which a theoretical economist faces is that the consumer preferences of any household is not easily predictable and the technical coefficients of any one household tend to be a non-linear, very complex, and variable function income, prices, etc.

Computer information derived from the use of the universal product code in conjunction with credit card purchase as an individual household identifier could change this state of affairs. But the U.P.C. method is not yet available on a national or even a significant regional scale. To compensate for this data deficiency, an alternate indirect approach of analysis has been adopted known as economic shock testing. This method, widely used in the aircraft manufacturing industry develops an aggregate statistical sort of data.

Applied to economics, this means that all of the households in one region or in the whole nation are studied as a group or class rather than individually, and the mass behavior rather than individual behavior is used to discover useful estimates of the technical coefficients governing the economic structure of the hypothetical single household industry.

Notice in the industry flow diagram that the values for the flows A,B,C, etc., are accessible to measurement in terms of selling prices and total sales of commodities.

One method of evaluating the technical coefficients of the household industry depends upon shocking the prices of a commodity and noting the changes in the sales of all of the commodities.

ECONOMIC SHOCK TESTING

In recent times, the application of Operations Research to the study of the public economy has been obvious for anyone who understands the principles of shock testing.

In the shock testing of an aircraft airframe, the recoil impulse of firing a gun mounted on that airframe causes shock waves in that structure which tell aviation engineers the conditions under which parts of the airplane or the whole airplane or its wings will start to vibrate or flutter like a guitar string, a flute reed, or a tuning fork, and disintegrate or fall apart in flight.

Economic engineers achieve the same result in studying the behavior of the economy and the consumer public by carefully selecting a staple commodity such as beef, coffee, gasoline, or sugar and then causing a sudden change or shock in its price or availability, thus kicking everybody’s budget and buying habits out of shape.

They then observe the shock waves which result by monitoring the changes in advertising, prices, and sales of that and other commodities.

The objective of such studies is to acquire know-how to set the public economy into a predictable state of motion or change, even a controlled self-destructive state of motion which will convince the public that certain “expert” people should take control of the money system and reestablish security (rather than liberty and justice) for all. When the subject citizens are rendered unable to control their financial affairs, they of course, become totally enslaved, a source of cheap labor.

Not only the prices of commodities, but also the availability of labor can be used as the means of shock testing. Labor strikes deliver excellent test shocks to an economy, especially in the critical service areas of trucking (transportation), communication, public utilities (energy, water, garbage collection), etc.

By shock testing, it is found that there is a direct relationship between the availability of money flowing in an economy and the psychological outlook and response of masses of people dependent upon that availability.

For example, there is a measurable, quantitative relationship between the price of gasoline, and the probability that a person would experience a headache, feel a need to watch a violent movie, smoke a cigarette, or go to a tavern for a mug of beer.

It is most interesting that, by observing and measuring the economic modes by which the public tries to run from their problems and escape from reality, and by applying the mathematical theory of Operations Research, it is possible to program computers to predict the most probable combination of created events (shocks) which will bring about a complete control and subjugation of the public through a subversion of the public economy (by shaking the plum tree).

INTRODUCTION TO THE THEORY OF ECONOMIC SHOCK TESTING

Let the prices and total sales of commodities be given and symbolized as follows.

Let us assume a simple economic model in which the total number of important (staple) commodities are represented as beef, gasoline, and an aggregate of all other staple commodities which we will call the hypothetical miscellaneous staple commodity ‘M’. (e.g., M is an aggregate of C, S, T, U, etc..)

INTRODUCTION TO ECONOMIC AMPLIFIERS

Economic amplifiers are the active components of economic engineering. The basic characteristic of any amplifier, (mechanical, electrical, or economic) is that it receives an input control signal and delivers energy from an independent energy, source to a specified output terminal in a predictable relationship to that input control signal.

The simplest form of economic amplifier is a device called advertising.

If a person is spoken to by a T.V. advertiser as if he were a twelve year old, then, due to suggestibility, he will, with a certain probability, respond or react to that suggestion with the uncritical response of a twelve year old and will reach into his economic reservoir and deliver its energy to buy that product on impulse when he passes it in the store.

An economic amplifier may have several inputs and outputs. Its response might be instantaneous or delayed. Its circuit symbol might be a rotary switch if its options are exclusive, qualitative, ‘go’ or ‘no go’, or it might have its parametric input/output relationships specified by a matrix with internal energy sources represented.

Whatever its form might be, its purpose is to govern the flow of energy from a source to an output sink in direct relationship to an input control signal. For this reason, it is called an active circuit element or component.

Economic Amplifiers fall into classes called strategies, and in comparison with electronic amplifiers, the specific internal functions or an economic amplifier are called logistical instead of electrical.

Therefore, economic amplifiers not only deliver power gain, but also, in effect, are used to cause changes in the economic circuitry.

In the design of an economic amplifier we must have some idea of at least five functions, which are:

(1) the available input signals,

(2) the desired output control objectives,

(3) the strategic objective,

(4) the available economic power sources,

(5) the logistical options.

The process of defining and evaluating these factors and incorporating the economic amplifier into an economic system has been popularly called game theory.

The design of an economic amplifier begins with a specification of the power level of the output, which can range from personal to national. The second condition is accuracy of response, i.e., how accurately the output action is a function of the input commands. High gain combined with strong feedback helps to deliver the required precision. Most of the error will be in the input data signal. Personal input data tends to be specific, while national input data tends to be statistical.

DIVERSION, THE PRIMARY STRATEGY

Experience has proven that the simplest method of securing a silent weapon and gaining control of the public is to keep the public undisciplined and ignorant of basic systems principles on the one hand, while keeping them confused, disorganized, and distracted with matters of no real importance on the other hand.

This is achieved by:

(1) Disengaging their minds, sabotaging their mental activities, by providing a low quality program of public education in mathematics, logic, systems design, and economics, and by discouraging technical creativity.

(2) Engaging their emotions, increasing their self-indulgence and their indulgence in emotional and physical activities, by:

(a) unrelenting emotional affrontations and attacks (mental and emotional rape) by way of a constant barrage of sex, violence, and wars in the media – especially the T.V. and the newspapers.

(b) giving them what they desire – in excess – “junk food for thought” and depriving them of what they really need.

(3) Rewriting history and law and subjecting the public to the deviant creation, thus being able to shift their thinking from personal needs to highly fabricated outside priorities.

These preclude their interest in and discovery of the silent weapons of social automation technology.

The general rule is that there is profit in confusion; the more confusion, the more profit. Therefore, the best approach is to create problems and then offer the solutions.

DIVERSION SUMMARY

MEDIA: Keep the adult public attention diverted away from the real social issues, and captivated by matters of no real importance.

SCHOOLS: Keep the young public ignorant of real mathematics, real economics, real law, and real history.

ENTERTAINMENT: Keep the public entertainment below a sixth grade level.

WORK: Keep the public busy, busy, busy, with no time to think; back on the farm with the other animals.

CONSENT, THE PRIMARY VICTORY

A silent weapon system operates upon data obtained from a docile public by legal (but not always lawful) force. Much information is made available to silent weapon systems programmers through the Internal Revenue Service . (See “Studies In The Structure Of The American Economy” for an I.R.S. source list.) This information consists of the enforced delivery of well organized data contained in federal and state tax forms collected, assembled, and submitted by slave labor provided by taxpayers and employers. Furthermore, the number of such forms submitted to the I.R.S. is a useful indicator of public consent, an important factor in strategic decision making. Other data sources are given in the “Short List Of Inputs.

Consent Coefficients: numerical feedback indicating victory status. Psychological basis:

When the government is able to collect tax and seize private property without just compensation, it is an indication that the public is ripe for surrender and is consenting to enslavement and legal encroachment. A good and easily quantified indicator of harvest time is the number of public citizens who pay income tax.

AMPLIFICATION ENERGY SOURCES

The next step in the process of designing as economic amplifier is discovering the energy sources. The energy sources which support any primitive economic system are, of course, a supply of raw materials, and the consent of the people to labor and consequently assume a certain rank, position, level, or class in the social structure; i.e., to provide labor at various levels in the pecking order.

Each class, in guaranteeing its own level of income, controls the class immediately below it, hence preserves the class structure. This provides stability and security, but also government from the top.

As time goes on and communication and education improve, the lower class elements of the social labor structure become knowledgeable and envious of the good things that the upper class members have. They also begin to attain a knowledge of energy systems and the ability to enforce their rise through the class structure.

This threatens the sovereignty of the elite.

If this rise of the lower classes can be postponed long enough, the elite can achieve energy dominance, and labor by consent no longer will hold a position of an essential economic energy source.

Until such energy dominance is absolutely established, the consent of people to labor and let others handle their affairs must be taken into consideration, since failure to do so could cause the people to interfere in the final transfer of energy sources to the control of the elite.

It is essential to recognize that at this time, public consent is still an essential key to the release of energy in the process of economic amplification.

Therefore, consent as an energy release mechanism will now be considered.

LOGISTICS

The successful application of a strategy requires a careful study of inputs, outputs, the strategy connecting the inputs and the outputs, and the available energy sources to fuel the strategy. This study is called logistics.

A logistical problem is studied at the elementary level first, and then levels of greater complexity are studied as a synthesis of elementary factors.

This means that a given system is analyzed, i.e., broken down into its sub-systems, and these in turn are analyzed, until, by this process, one arrives at the logistical ‘atom’, the individual.

This is where the process of syntheses properly begins, at the time of the birth of the individual.

THE ARTIFICIAL WOMB

From the time a person leaves its mother’s womb, its every effort is directed toward building, maintaining, and withdrawing into artificial wombs, various sorts of substitute protective devices or shells.

The objective of these artificial wombs is to provide a stable environment for both stable and unstable activity; to provide a shelter for the evolutionary processes of growth, and maturity – i.e., survival; to provide security for freedom and to provide defensive protection for offensive activity.

THE POLITICAL STRUCTURE OF A NATION – DEPENDENCY

The primary reason why the individual citizens of a country create a political structure is a subconscious wish or desire to perpetuate their own dependency relationship of childhood.

Simply put, they want a human god to eliminate all risk from their life, pat them on the head, kiss their bruises, put a chicken on every dinner table, clothe their bodies, tuck them into bed at night, and tell them that everything will be alright when they wake up in the morning.

This public demand is incredible, so the human god, the political, meets incredibility with incredibility by promising the world and delivering nothing. So who is the bigger liar?, the public?, or the ‘godfather’?

This public behavior is surrender born of fear, laziness and expediency. It is the basis of the welfare state as a strategic weapon, useful against a disgusting public.

ACTION/OFFENSE

Most people want to be able to subdue and/or kill other human beings which disturb their daily lives, but they do not want to have to cope with the moral and religious issues which such an overt act on their part might raise. Therefore, they assign the dirty work to others (including their own children) so as to keep the blood off their own hands. They rave about the humane treatment of animals and then sit down to a delicious hamburger from a whitewashed slaughterhouse down the street and out of sight. But even more hypocritical, they pay taxes to finance a professional association of hit men collectively called politicians, and then complain about corruption in government.

RESPONSIBILITY

Again, most people want to be free to do things (to explore, etc.) but they are afraid to fail.

The fear of failure is manifested in irresponsibility, and especially in delegating those personal responsibilities to others where success is uncertain or carries possible or created liabilities (law) which the person is not prepared to accept.

They want authority (root word – ‘author’), but they will not accept responsibility or liability. They hire politicians to face reality for them.

SUMMARY

The people hire the politicians so that the people can:

(1) obtain security without managing it.

(2) obtain action without thinking about it.

(3) inflict theft, injury, and death upon others without having to contemplate either life or death.

(4) avoid responsibility for their own intentions.

(5) obtain the benefits of reality and science without exerting themselves in the discipline of facing or learning either of these things.

They give the politicians the power to create and manage a war machine to:

(1) provide for the survival of the NATION/WOMB.

(2) prevent encroachment of anything of anything upon the NATION/WOMB.

(3) destroy the enemy who threatens the NATION/WOMB.

(4) destroy those citizens of their own country who do not conform for the sake of stability of the NATION/WOMB.

Politicians hold many quasi-military jobs, the lowest being the police which are soldiers, the attorneys and the C.P.A.s next who are spies and saboteurs (licensed), and the judges who shout the orders and run the closed union military shop for whatever the market will bear. The generals are industrialists. The ‘presidential’ level of commander-in-chief is shared by the international bankers. The people know that they have created this farce and financed it with their own taxes (consent), but they would rather knuckle under than be the hypocrite.

Thus, a nation becomes divided into two very distinct parts, a DOCILE SUB-NATION and a POLITICAL SUB-NATION. The political sub-nation remains attached to the docile sub-nation, tolerates it, and leaches its substance until it grows strong enough to detach itself and devour its parent.

SYSTEM ANALYSIS

In order to make meaningful computerized economic decisions about war, the primary economic flywheel, it is necessary to assign concrete logistical values to each element of the war structure — personnel and material alike.

This process begins with a clear and candid description of the sub-systems of such a structure.

THE DRAFT (As military service)

Few efforts of human behavior modification are more remarkable or more effective than that of the socio-military institution known as the draft. A primary purpose of a draft or other such institution is to instill, by intimidation, in the young males of a society the uncritical conviction that the government is omnipotent. He is soon taught that a prayer is slow to reverse what a bullet can do in an instant. Thus, a man trained in a religious environment for eighteen years of his life can, by this instrument of the government, be broken down, be purged of his fantasies and delusions in a matter of mere months. Once that conviction is instilled, all else becomes easy to instill.

Even more interesting is the process by which a young man’s parents, who purportedly love him, can be induced to send him off to war to his death. Although the scope of this work will not allow this matter to be expanded in full detail, nevertheless, a course overview will be possible and can serve to reveal those factors which must be included in some numerical form in a computer analysis of social and war systems.

We begin with a tentative definition of the draft.

The draft: (selective service, etc.) is an institution of compulsory collective sacrifice and slavery, devised by the middle aged and the elderly for the purpose of pressing the young into doing the public dirty work. It further serves to make the youth as guilty as the elders, thus making criticism of the elders by the youth less likely (Generational Stabilizer). It is marketed and sold to the public under the label of “patriotic – national” service.

Once a candid economic definition of the draft is achieved, that definition is used to outline the boundaries of a structure called a Human Value System, which in turn is translated into the terms of game theory. The value of such a slave laborer is given in a Table of Human Values, a table broken down into categories by intellect, experience, post service job demand, etc..

Some of these categories are ordinary and can be tentatively evaluated in terms of the value of certain jobs for which a known fee exists. Some jobs are harder to value because they are unique to the demands of social subversion, for an extreme example: the value of a mother’s instruction to her daughter causing that daughter to put certain behavioral demands upon a future husband, ten or fifteen years hence, thus, by suppressing his resistance to a perversion of a government, making it easier for a banking cartel to buy the State of New York in, say, twenty years.

Such a problem leans heavily upon the observations and the data of wartime espionage and many types of psychological testing. But crude mathematical models (algorithms, etc.) can be devised, if not to predict, at least to predetermine theme events with maximum certainty. What does not exist by natural cooperation is thus enhanced by calculated compulsion. Human beings are machines, levers which may be grasped and turned, and there is little real difference between automating a society and automating a shoe factory.

These derived values are variable. (It is necessary to use a current Table of Human Values for computer analysis.) These values are given in true measure rather than U.S. dollars, since the latter is unstable, being presently inflated beyond the production of national goods and services so as to give the economy a false kinetic energy (‘paper’ inductance).

The silver value is stable, it being possible to buy the same amount with a gram of silver today as could be bought in 1920. Human value measured in silver units changes slightly due to changes in production technology.

ENFORCEMENT

FACTOR I

As in every social system approach, stability is achieved only by understanding and accounting for human nature (action/reaction patterns). A failure to do so can be, and usually is, disastrous. As in other human social schemes, one for or another of intimidation (or incentive) is essential to the success of the draft. Physical principles of action and reaction must be applied to both internal and external sub-systems. To secure the draft, individual brainwashing/programming and both the family unit and the peer group must be engaged and brought under control.

FACTOR II FATHER

The man of the household must be house-broken to ensure that junior will grow up with the right social training and attitudes. The advertising media, etc., are engaged to see to it that father-to-be is pussy-whipped before or by the time he is married. He is taught that he either conforms to the social notch out for him or his sex life will be hobbled and his tender companionship will be zero. He is made to see that women demand security more than logical, principled, or honorable behavior. By the time his son must go to war, father (with jelly for a back bone) will slam a gun into junior’s hand before father will risk the censure of his peers, or make a hypocrite of himself by crossing the investment he has in his own personal opinion or self-esteem. Junior will go to war or father will be embarrassed. So junior will go to war, the true purpose of the war notwithstanding.

FACTOR III MOTHER

The female element of human society is ruled by emotion first and logic second. In the battle between logic and imagination, imagination always wins, fantasy prevails, maternal instinct dominates so that the child comes first and the future comes second. A woman with a newborn baby is too starry-eyed to see a wealthy man’s cannon fodder or a cheap source of slave labor. A woman must, however, be conditioned to accept the transition to “reality” when it comes, or sooner.

As the transition becomes more difficult to manage, the family unit must be carefully disintegrated, and state controlled public education and state operated child care centers must become more common and legally enforced so as to begin the detachment of the child from the mother and the father at an earlier age. Inoculation of behavioral drugs can speed the transition for the child (mandatory). CAUTION: A woman’s impulsive anger can override her fear. An irate woman’s power must never be underestimated, and her power over a pussy-whipped husband must likewise never be underestimated. It got women the vote in 1920.

FACTOR IV JUNIOR

The emotional pressure for self-preservation during time of war and the self-serving attitude of the common herd that have an option to avoid the battlefield — if junior can be persuaded to go — is all of the pressure finally necessary to propel Johnny off to war. Their quiet black mailings of him are the threats: “No sacrifice, no friends; no glory, no girlfriends.”

FACTOR V SISTER

And what about junior’s sister? She is given all the good things of life by her father, and taught to expect the same from her future husband regardless of the price.

FACTOR VI CATTLE

Those who will not use their brains are not better off than those who have no brains, and so this mindless school of jellyfish, father, mother, son, and daughter, become useful beasts of burden or trainers of the same.

This concludes what is available (and what was found) of this government document.
