Great video
It realy demonstrates just how concentrated power is
Concerning secret societies there are many of them....and they're just the ones we know about!
They're getting upto all sorts of strange stuff. You know....finish work, have a cup of tea.....put your hooded cloak on and then get down to the lodge to do a nice ritual with the gang....

Thanks muir. Your video is interesting too, though I will take this opportunity to state that I am very hesitant to subscribe to the kind of theyism is you're suggesting in many of your threads. A lot of the information of that nature come across as very dodge-y at best. It doesn't have any real world context aside from a small few have interpreted it and are peddling as truths because the pieces can be arranged to look a certain way.
Now, I do not deny that there is a possibility that there
could be a group of Lex Luthor types meeting clandestinely behind closed discussing Saturday Morning cartoon villain-esque plots for world domination over cigars and a glass of scotch. I also do not deny the possibility that maybe some of them think Halloween should be a monthly occurrence and that maybe ritual sex magic is a cool, edgy thing that people outside their fraternity shouldn't participate in because they're just not cool enough. I, however, have a very hard time believing these people would engage in occult magic because they actually believe it
works. This whole cabal lasting generations upon generations dating back to Ancient Egypt or Atlantis (or whatever version of the theory you'd like to ascribe to) sounds a bit of a stretch to me. I also have a hard time justifying why on earth this alleged small group of people would go through all the trouble of trying to take over the world beyond the fact that they'd just want to live a comfortable, elite existence.
Now, I know you're going to jump on the idea of programming a nation with mass psychology. I also don't deny its possibility. We have the technology. We have the knowledge and there are billions upon billions of dollars being pumped into psychology and marketing research as we speak. The mind is a metaphor. When we change what we represent to ourselves, you can change our thinking and behaviour. Symbols and archetypes have a profound effect on our subconscious as well, even when we are not consciously aware of their meanings. I know, because I have witnessed that power first hand in myself and in others. I also am aware that you can change the minds of the masses by indoctrinating certain ideas as social controls that dictate how masses should or shouldn't respond akin to the concept of the panopticon. Foucault talked extensively about the new type of power structure emerging (by the way, did you ever watch
the stand off between Foucault and a young Chomsky? Fascinating!) and with the increasing amount of surveillance, social and otherwise, in our daily lives it's getting increasingly difficult to ignore his ideas. We also have the Milgram and Asch conformity experiments that demonstrate frightening implications for our education system and the nature of social media.
Indeed, I think most people inherently understand the powerful influence of the mainstream media. Our current cultural diatribe proves it. The hot topic of the day is the representation of women, gays, and people of colour in media outlets. Most people seem to intuitively understand that what we consume on screen, on billboards and in music has an impact on not just the individual, but society as a whole. The call for us to take control of those images is growing louder and louder every day and in doing so, we're also acknowledging a society that control can be taken in these venues by re-framing meaning and presentation. Indeed, look at the way society's perceptions have change about LBTQ community in just the last decade alone. There has been a HUGE amount of social progress in an astonishingly short period of time. Whereas before it would take decades and even entire generations to change a social narrative, now it can occur in the matter of a few months with the right media coverage and exposure and by pin-pointing the right 'tipping point.'
So like I said, I get all that and I have a
very healthy respect for the power of the complex, global networks and the roles of corporations and media and how they might benefit to go war-mongering for the sake of resources. What I
don't get is the whole purpose of this so-called cabal that you keeep mentioning. Why are they doing the things they're doing? If they had all this technology and this occult knowledge, why hadn't they seized total control sooner? What are they waiting for? How do people even know what they believe or what they intend to do? How do you know that what you've learned through all your research is what they
want you to believe? You completely lose me at this layer.
