to this Epilogue before beginning this allegory You will also
find it very helpful to take the time
to follow the links provided in this Epilogue's Introduction, and

The allegory begins with the Master Power Monger (MM) [defined in the Epilogue introduction] summarizing for his group of trusted henchmen under the invisible eyes of the Master Watcher and his graduating class of Builders[defined in the Epilogue introduction], the overall scope and status of their well advanced plot. As you hear his expectations for victory in achieving total world political and economic dominance, ask yourself where he is on the cone of Spiritual evolution. (Dialogue 1) Also ask where this person's agendas (Dialogue 2) are located on the cone of the Maslow hierarchy of needs. What communication traps (Dialogue 3) are being ignored or exploited as he communicates with his followers upon whom he must depend to fulfill their assignments. What is the nature of their HIP capabilities (Dialogue 4) in the "necker cube" rooms of their consciousness. What are the ego managed, intellectually limited power ploys they expect to successfully use during their advancement of their plot? Are they aware of their vulnerability to the Milgram Syndrome (obedience to authority, Dialogue 5) Do they intend to exploit it, are their counting on it to fulfill their scheme? How respectful are they to the Reality of Karma as they work out their scheme? (Dialogue 6) How much of the effective Reality are they actually conscious of? What type and degree of human weakness (Spiritual lack) must be present in sufficient numbers of their minions and the public for them to succeed? What certain Karmic justice for the power mongers (PM) is being forged by the potential impact of their actions on innocent others? Where is any evidence of the element of the healing power of Love (Dialogue 7) being present within them, and as manifested in their plans. What elements are there that are essential to Spiritually validate and contribute to the success of their plans? |

As the Master Monger (MM) introduces his core group of coconspirators, begin to notice the counter point that is advanced by the Master Watcher (MW) and his new class of Builders. [defined in the Epilogue introduction] Honestly ask yourself, would you rather fulfill the rest of your life as an agent of the master power monger, his victim, or as a member of the class of Builders? As the details of the master monger's expectations are presented, do you see any evidence of this plan in the world to day? Recall the information presented in the Three Part Introductory Dialogue. Have you already made yourself a player in support of this plan? Intentionally? or by default? "No decision" is a decision by default to accept the role of victim. But to become an agent of the power monger in order to materially benefit from that relationship is to accept a disastrous Karmic fallout. [Described in Dialogue 6] Examine your deepest feelings around any such awareness. Acknowledge them and move on. Regardless of your choice, always remember the bottom line that will always prevail, without fail, and without exception: |
THE MASTER WATCHER: MENTOR TO THE BUILDERS Master
Watcher (MW):
MW: Greetings Beloveds! After your coming birth, if you don't remember who you are, you may think you are someone else. If you don't know where you are going, you may end up someplace else! You must remember the Spiritual Principles presented as The House of Three Rooms [Review] and that your dare not permit yourself to become trapped in the two lower rooms. These challenges will come into play during your formative years on earth as you struggle to recall your destiny as you are assigned and accept it here. You must remember the Spiritual Principles expressed as The Primal Dream of the Infant, [Review,] and work to transcend your earthly guidance and distractions to recall your Spiritual destiny. You will be faced with the challenge of moving quickly, in early childhood, to ignore the visceral fear and threats coming from your "first room," and the intellectual seductions coming from your "second room," in order to focus your C/consciousness mostly in your Spiritually grounded "Third Room." This focus is required for you to maintain and facilitate your grasp of the Whole within which you will play your part as a Builder. Remember, the key ingredient for your success in this assignment is for you to arrange ample time for deep Meditation and Prayer which is required to keep the Spiritual link between your Third Room and the Realms of Spirit healthy and active. Now we are going to observe the scheming of your antagonists, those involved in the obscene planning as members of the SSPBPM. They think they are preparing to take over the world beginning with the United States they have already transformed from a Democracy to a corporocracy. [definition]. My intent is that you recognize what I am about to show you now, is what you will confront during your earth journey upon which your Soul is about to embark. Your Spiritual Truth will try to prepare you and then direct you to the earthly experience of aspects of their plan where you can intervene. You will find the implications of these contacts Spiritually intolerable so that you will be moved to resist those developments. You will be strongly moved to take corrective and healing actions to derail these evil plans and remediate them with Spiritually valid alternatives. I will be commenting to you about the Spiritual emptiness of their plans at appropriate places as we observe their plotting. More importantly as they discuss their their plan, I will be showing you what you must do to successfully counter the evil fallout that will consume humanity unless you can successfully intervene and halt their plot. You have been especially chosen for this assignement because in your prior material lives you have demonstrated that you can tolerate the physical and emotional pain that sometimes is required to fulfill your tasks. If you cannot remember where you are with respect to the assignments you are about to accept, you may find yourself confused because you are in the wrong place pursuing less Spiritually valid goals. This perceptual error of your sensate intellect can place you in circumstances where you will, at the least, be compromised in completing your task. For this reason, there will be numbers of you placed on the earth with near identical assignments, but placed at different starting points at birth. Further, every few years, to continue any success you initiate, I will be introducing another cadre of Builders to implement similar assignments, or to pick up where you are in your assignment. For these reasons, look for those born ahead of you who can help you, or who you can help. It is only through the collaboration of all of you that any of you will be empowered to fulfill your destiny and successfully intervene in time to save humanity. You will recognize your allies by their evident capacity to ignore their ego agendas and respond to circumstances from their higher self. None of you can succeed alone, nor could I. There are no "Rambos," "Lone Rangers," or "Dirty Harrys" in the Realms of Spirit. Therefore, this plot of the SSPBPM I now share with you, is for you to know where your are being assigned and why. The scale and scope of the Grand Plan plan for coping with the SSPBPM defines the context for each of your individual assignments, and what your roles will be. As part of a vast Cosmic orchestra, each of you is one instrument for serving humanity's needs to restore and keep humanity on the path of evolving Spiritual Consciousness. Play your parts well. In this, Beloveds, you are accepting a daunting assignment. I will now show where and why you will enter the earth to make your contributions in the context of preserving and continuing the already long legacy of humanity's Spiritual evolution. The moment of Truth is rapidly approaching where humanity must generate this transformation in sufficiently large numbers, or perish. ![]() Earth's humanity has now reached the nadir of its decent into materialism. Now it rapidly approaches its moment of Truth, either recovery and healing through Death and Transfiguration, provided that the Soul of Gaia is served, or death and oblivion as in now their destiny. These are the consequences for which humanity has evolved. Without your successful and timely interventions, they must and they will choose death by if not by design, they by default (failing to act.) Your roles after you enter the earth in human form call for you to rise to positions of influence (not necessarily the same as power) where you can act to derail or reverse this decent into this materialist trap. Because of your advanced Spiritual Consciousness, through meditation and prayer, you will be guided to effective action as individuals. This will call on the presence and power of your individual Ethics, perception, technical skills, devotion, persistence and courage. However, you will be coordinated to act collectively, through my influence extending to each of you. We can only communicate through the depth and effectiveness of your developed capacity to pray and meditate. By such means you will obtain and validate the intuitive guidance I will be providing you. By acting together in harmony, like the members of a world class symphony, you contribute your separate role to create the majesty of the whole. But alas, there is no automatic Hollywood style happy ending to this story. Some of you will sacrifice much of human comfort to achieve your assigned goals. Some of you may fail by worldly standards This is no disgrace, for it is only your effort and devotion to TRUTH and GOD that counts. [re sentiment of Mother Teresa] You will grow Spiritually regardless of any worldly outcome of your efforts. "Now the materialistic principles of the power mongers are very neat, and certain of material success, save for one important condition. Their values, thoughts, plans and thus their deeds, are entirely without Spiritual substance or validity. Thus they are doomed to eventual failure. Only the scale, scope, nature and extent of the destructive processes that they will unleash remain to be decided. The innocent citizens of Iraq have recently received [in 2003/2005] a powerful demonstration of the costs of their failing to challenge and overcome the evils of the Saddam Hussein regime. Nor are they yet free and clear. Of course, the alleged goal of these power mongers is to do ultimate good. In their Spiritually empty minds, they may even believe that themselves. But Truth does not reside in the intellect! Because they are entrapped by their inflamed ego's invalid self image, by their ego devotion to their inflated self importance, they celebrate the illusory validity of their plan. But their plot is self serving and empty of Spiritual justification. Ruthless and destructive means are not justified or rewarded by any end however nobel. The successful implementation of their plot depends upon the cooperation of a sufficient number of stupefied, confused, and Spiritually empty puppets, dupes. [re the Parable of the Evil Puppet Master] Any Spiritually impoverished human can be bought, by threats and intimidation, if not by the allure of sharing in worldly power and success. But as we follow their naive plotting, I will at certain points reveal the Principles by which Spiritual Consciousness can prevent or undo the evil that arises from the ego creations of their secular minds. I will also clarify the nature of your specialized assignments for which you have been prepared through your prior earthly incarnations as human life. Pay attention as you hear each other's assignments for you must implement your assignments in a way that allows for integration with the assignments of your Brothers and Sisters. This will become more clear as we proceed. We are attending the current and final meeting of the Secret Society of Power Broker and Power Mongers to observe their plotting about which I will comment. Of course they are not aware of our Presence. They must deny the possibility of their certain eventual failure which cannot figure in their "Necker Cube" minds. [review necker cube demonstration of altered consciousness] Repressing such feelings has become automatic for them. Their meeting provides an ideal forum for you to assess the nature and importance of your individual assignment to counter their individual assignments. You will become aware of how to successfully play your small but crucial part to counter the collective goals of this entire group. Notice the rules to which the SSPBPM adhere. Remember, their paradigm and its rules have a validity that is only relevant in the sensate world of the physical. Its logic makes sense only within their captive ego driven intellects. But their treasured goals are impoverished of Spiritual substance and validity, and therefore, they must fail, and as I have said, only the manner of their crash remains to be decided. | Master
Power Monger (MM):
"I call our final meeting of the whole to order. In individual meetings with each of you over the past two decades I have brokered your ideas into the understandings and agreements we are about to seal. We must fully understand and swear our loyalty to them and to each other if our plan is to prevail. Each of you now understands at a foundation level, the rules and principles you have been assigned to study, master and implement. We are already well on our way. Therefore, after today, we will never meet again as a committee of the whole until our economic and political conquest of at least the northern hemisphere is solidified. There are three major reasons why we will not meet again in person as a group:
As our first priority we honor and serve only each other through unswerving loyalty to our cause and our principles that I am about to review. You are here because of your talent and experience, and especially because you have already demonstrated your unswerving fealty to this group and our cause. Your initial successes in the first stages of our plan has demonstrated the correctness of my choices in selecting you.
Remember the hierarchy of our enemies. [above chart.] They are not limited to those who would simply compete with us or oppose us. But we evaluate those whose actions are inimical to our success according to the priority reflected in this chart. Remember, the public's fools are our essential tools. Once in control we will rule wisely and fairly, but on a global scale. This vision is something the public is naive about and does not have. Nor does it have the wits to even comprehend. Our goal is sacred and therefore legitimizes any scale of ruthlessness required to insure our safety and success in fulfilling our nobel plan. Therefore, either we are tight, loyal, competent, effective and trustworthy as a group, or we lose our capacity to meet our goals. I mean we then lose everything of value that we have already acquired and are positioning ourselves to further develop and secure. It's that simple. We do not behave like the mafia and other criminal lords who shoot each other in the street over territorial claims. Our unswerving loyalty dare not become lost in the intense economic and political free-for-all among those near but outside our group, and those we protect because of their temporary utility to us. We depend on this free for all among outsiders to help destroy our enemies. Whoever tries to best us at our own game will not just lose, they will perish. That fight has already begun at our instigation. We must be ever vigilant of those temporary allies when they may suddenly suspect that they are being bypassed, duped, or shut out from our tightening ring of power. Therefore, the following rules and by-laws define the operational priorities for our clandestine and unofficial group. We agree:
This network is designed to ensure our control over all the technical agencies, regulatory instruments and enforcers of our government first, then other national governments next, and finally, the dominant surviving international government. This network is the operating mechanism behind all our institutional and social power amplifiers through which we exercise our individual personal power. By these invisible and invincible means we will soon rule the entire world entirely on our terms. This possibility was not even imaginable only a decade ago. We not only focus on the persons and groups who are competent to compete in our game, but we also focus on the "red neck" and "fundamentalist" mentalities, those who live in the simplistic world of the extreme right wing of politics and religion. They have already delivered our servant, George W. Bush into our hands, and the legions of obedient servants he and his lackeys in the White House command. We have already created many appeals to serve their meager concepts of what is right and wrong, important and unimportant. This will create constant noise and diversion for the entire class of the great unwashed. [this reference is to the "groinicks," see definition] Violence in support of our plan is a tool of last resort. But it is a tool we do not hesitate to employ, and which in the end we must use to seal our victory. Now we shall revisit our sacred catechism together for this final review. [The group murmurs satisfaction.] |
In this section of their plot, the MM (master monger) introduces his coconspirators to the analogy by which personal power is "marked," and how various types and entities of power amplifiers may be described. These symbolic functional descriptions make it easier to detect what is actually happening in the arcane worlds of finance and business as they play out across the media headlines. You are being taught by the master monger how to conceptualize the creation, distribution, flow, and management of personal power through power amplifiers (includes human as well as mechanical systems) of increasing levels of institutional and social complexity. The central idea behind their plot is for the power mongers to establish themselves as controllers over the acquisition of both material and human (people) power and resources as the SSPBPM pyramids these tools to the highest level of complexity over which they can exercise absolute control. |
The Infernal Catechism
Master
Monger (MM):
"Prior to this meeting I have
instructed each of you
separately in the secret understandings that are necessary to acquire,
pyramid and tighten control of our growing national and international
networks
of power. This ensures the constant and reliable service of those
organizations
under your control. They must continue to serve us
unconditionally.
I will only summarize this comprehensive strategy now to insure we are
all on the same page. Each of you, is a crucial part of our strategic
vision.
You must fully appreciate the scale and importance of the unique
contributions
each of you make to our success. We need each other, we must
trust each
other, and we must function collectively as a single corporate
intelligence.
We must exclude all others even as we appear to be their
servants.
We must stand firm together, closed, and tight from now on, or we will
not only fail, we will surely perish.
| Master
Watcher: (To
his students The
Builders preparing for re-entry into earth life for
carrying out
their assignments.)
MW: After your earth rebirth, you must overcome your forgetfulness and intuitively remember at some point the comprehensive plan and strategy we are about to review as we observe the plotting of the power mongers. Allowing this memory to survive in the face of the all consuming physical and emotional pressures and distractions of the senses in the physical world is your first and greatest challenge. Some of you will be born into loving and gentle family contexts that will facilitate that. But most of you will be born into families that suffer a lack of Spiritual Consciousness at some inhibiting level, even though they may benefit from great material wealth. The ease that wealth makes possible is itself a major Spiritual distraction. [re The Master Power Broker and His Victims.] But being born to earthly power is an even greater distraction. You will quickly be directed by your parents and earthly influences to accept their materialist legacy, and to support them as they push and shove on the worldly levers of material power (e.g. to advance the family conglomerate.) ![]() Generic Cone of Expanding Consciousness All cosmic energy is in a state of unfoldment. [above figure] As the cosmic space expands, the physical and information elements of cosmic space are constantly being refined and specialized to fulfill their ultimate destiny in the service to the GOD of their creation. The generative principles that direct this expansion and the specialization areas of worldly focus already exist in the higher Realms of Spiritual Information, a Realm first recognized and labeled in the 20th century by that great Mystical Priest, and Builder, Teilhard de Chardin [1955/1959]. The unfolding human C/consciousness is becoming more capable of accessing that larger Spiritual Information Realm. Most can make fleeting access only through the random intuitive hunch. But you have been prepared to make routine contact through the early practice and lifelong devotion to deep meditation in the Silence, provided you can recall this thread and counter the ego demands of what will become your sensate mind.
By that means you become prepared
to initiate those actions
that accelerate the species wide trend toward Spiritual
awakening.
You must take the lead in revealing the specialized dimensions of that
gift in their worldly applications.
Notice how the mm is solely focused on the symbols of ego, power amplifiers and the power bearing markers for surviving and advancing control in the material world. This part of the mm's lecture illustrates how the seeds of personal and social destruction are already sown in their impoverished ego consciousness. By the eternal Spiritual LAW of the Cosmos, [Karma] their lack of Consciousness ensures that they must reap their eventual bitter harvest they now plot to sow. Notice that the DSE model that the mm is using is correct only on the material plane of consciousness, but irrelevant for the Spiritual Plane of Consciousness. You
must transcend the senses through
prayer and meditation, and release all material attachments, and focus
on the energizing Presence
of
Love
within the depth of prayer and mediation. Only then can the
blockages
created by your limited ego devoted physical senses, and their hostage
the intellect, be transcended.
.
He
gives Beal a profound and intimidating
lecture that describes what we see the mm developing here in his
presentation.
Beal is emotionally destroyed by the speech and, (until the "Network"
has
him killed,) enters into the same apathy as the public he exhorted in
the
film. The real public, in its Spiritual slumber, still has not caught
on
to the Real threat
to their well being that is revealed in Jenson's incredible speech to
Beal.
MW:
As the hierarchy of power amplifiers
and their complexity increased across the generations of unfolding
human
consciousness, the preoccupation of their owners with the external
world
became more focused and intense. They created a war of all
against
all among those elements of humanity who covet the same instruments of
power and control. Their self proclaimed validation of their
aggression
and hostility has been justified for them by a body of intellectual
theory
called Social Darwinism. This is a materialistic
justification that
has no Spiritual merit. It is a philosophy and justification
that
already bears bitter fruit. Alas, unless you can succeed in
your
missions, the worst is yet to come.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. ...Continued from the bottom right of this section As the world's social complexity expands, the requirement of specialization by individuals becomes necessary to manage this increased physical, information, and social complexity. This is because the ego intellect is owned by the physical mind. This capacity is limited in both the scope and detail that it can retain and process through the physical senses and their hostage intellect. The intellect will process only that which is captured and manifest by the physical mind. But the scope and capacity of the mind to embrace even the material whole, let alone the Holistic Truth is entirely dependent on the extent of awakened Spiritual Consciousness. Worse, like The Man from Tech, [review parable,] the minds of the power mongers are as oblivious to this defect as the public they mock. That ignorance further empowers the illusory validity of their exciting scheme, and leads them step by step into the trap of ultimate defeat and ignominy. .
.
The greater their span of control, the more they must rely on outsiders to carry forward the actual work of their plan. The more vulnerable they become to challenges, "whistle blowers," compromised motivation, performance defects, and ultimate failure. The roots of their energy reside in various expressions of fear and not in Love. This
failure is assured because
their material plan cannot be reliably coordinated because there are no
empowering links tied to the Realms of
Spiritual Consciousness. None of the co-conspirators
serving their plan has achieved a workable level Spiritual
Consciousness.
. Now the MM, will develop the evolution of secular power in a linear fashion. He too is victim of the curse of systems thinking. He forced to present, one at a time, his 10 levels of increasing organizational complexity in the management of aggregated personal power when they must actually function as an integrated whole.. But I want you to remember that every aspect of each level of complexity in the management of personal power is present in rudimentary form at every level. The Rambo is present at every stage. [review the story of The PBPMSPS] Problems of information management are present at every stage. Myth management is present at every stage. And the problems of governance is present at every stage. But this progression does not occur in a compartmentalized, step by step, linear fashion, like the building blocks of a child's lego structure. One level is not yet completed as the next level is begun. These 10 steps evolve as a shading of emphasis from the primal Rambo, to the sophisticated engines of western capitalism. But ultimately, Rambo reappears as "the enforcer" but in a complex form as an institutional structure. Thus the changing focus of attention on levels in the hierarchy of power represents a shading of changing emphasis across the 10 stages. This shading of emphasis is more like shifting cloud patterns in the sky. As the intellectual consciousness of humanity steadily evolves with its increasing physical, language, and social complexity across the millennia, so must the scale and scope of our intellectual consciousness expand to manage all relevant factors. In the presence of this challenge from complexly, the mind is forced to solve this problem through specialization which creates a limiting defect in intellectual consciousness. Thus, without the prerequisite Spiritual Consciousness, the intellect must eventually fail to grasp the significance of the nature of this complexity, even the narrow part on which it must focus. The probability of failure is in direct proportion to the discrepancy between the scale of intellectual consciousness and the unfoldment of Spiritual Consciousness of the decision maker. Understand that what the mm is really presenting is what has already transpired as a subtle change in priorities for advancing personal power across the centuries of humanity. The various application of force change in nature depending upon which stage or level receives the greatest energy at a given point in the overall evolution of human civilizations. [review the PBPMSPS] Notice how the principal focus of the power broker changes across the various stages in the evolution of cultural complexity. Today in earth time, the complexity of each of the 10 levels of power and control expresses in ways that are so vast that even the most educated public cannot grasp its Holistic significance. They remain oblivious of the potential of these developments to threaten or support their needs and safety. In fact, as you examine all the cultures of the earth today, you will find an example of a culture arrested at every one of these 10 levels. Only the high technology cultures, as they now act to manage the initial nine levels, are approaching the 10th level where the enforcer must become the dominant presence required to sustain the power of these political controllers. Iraq, and other autocratic dictatorships, become arrested at the the first or 10th level that depends on the enforcer regardless of their technological sophistication. They jump into this status long before they have successfully learned to manage the requirements present at the prior nine levels. Rambo is not good at myth management or public relations. One nation is leading the way into the 10th stage, having accounted for and subsumed all prior stages. That nation is the United States of America. But because of their specialized focus and their minimal Spiritual Consciousness, our leaders who are outside the power monger's authority cannot reliably detect these developments. They cannot make smart decisions and set wise social priorities to counter the PM's advancing control over any of these levels. So they invest themselves in their own political games of power and control as they remain unaware of this unfolding evil plan. The enemy of humanity's survival lies in the hidden all-at-once collective complexity across all 10 levels of material power and control now being developed and exploited by the SSPBPM. Beloveds, when you are reborn to earth your task is to remember the scale and scope of this complexity in order to enter into those activities for which you have been prepared. Then you can take such actions that serve your particular assignment. Only then, when you remember your assignment in the context of the whole, can you serve as effective intervenors in accordance with the nature of your assignments. [Continue with next section below] | MM: Each of you is a professional success and has expressed values that are congenial to the underlying principles on which the SSPBPM was formed. Each of you has been chosen to serve in your area of specialized expertise. You are a key in one of the strategic elements required for us to succeed: the law, energy, banking, basic industry, communications and information management, manufacturing, media and public relations, government operations, politics at the national and international level, and finally the various military and para-military groups I will collectively refer to as "the enforcers." Few people in the world are able to see the entire world of commerce, economics, enforcement and politics in this integrated manner that we now exploit. Their ignorance is our ally because the scale and scope of our activities are not connected in their minds. Therefore our threat remains invisible to them only so long as they do not catch on. We have carefully been laying the groundwork for our group for over 30 years. The public's ignorance and apathy must remain unchanged. Those who are our enemies, the liberal and academic elements of our society, must never be permitted to detect the underlying rules and strategy I now summarize for you. Knowledge of this pattern could point to our now invisible presence and our intent. Thus we become vulnerable to overt detection and destruction. We cannot permit the external media and populist and progressive political zealots to track back to us from the events we have already accomplished and the audacious new initiatives we are about to unleash. The Nature of a Power Amplifier ![]() Power Markers and Power Amplifiers: I have already taught you the basic concept and principles of a "power marker" and "power amplifier." To review: a "power marker" [see above figure] is any symbol or device that gives you control such that others are required to accept your demands. A power marker permits you to make and enforce these demands on them. Coins, money, deeds, contracts, stocks and bonds, licenses and any legal instrument all serve as our power markers. However, their successful use
depends upon the presence
of economic and social rules and their certain enforcement.
We need
to see the world this way in order not to become confused by our own
rhetoric
and systematic disinformation we now put before the public. You will
recall
that a "power amplifier"
[see figure below] is any kind of a
tool that enhances or expands our personal power and our
ability to
influence and control those other entities who also act to acquire and
control power markers.
We move to acquire control of power by possessing or controlling groups, then organizations and eventually nations (beginning with our own,) and then the world. This figure [above] symbolizes the owner of a business arranging to both catch "fish" directly which are symbols of basic power markers, and other entities we identify as a power amplifiers, e.g., other businesses, corporations or agencies of government that can contribute their own "fish." We now act to capture other power amplifiers to incorporate them as one large super power amplifier (business conglomerate). This is what we have been actively doing in creating our international conglomerates through the coordinasted work of a number of highly secret societies and groups. [ref Trilateral Commission; Council on Foreign Relations; Builderberg Society; Yale University Skull & Bones Society (John R. Bolton and George Bush are both graduates of Yale University;) also, see more, about Bohemian Grove, 1; Bohemian Grove, 2] Because of the complexity of all this, the naive public, including (Ah! Ha! Ha!) those few members of Congress not on our active payroll, have no idea of our existence nor our underlying strategy. After all, this is America!! Ha! Ha! Our very existence is an absurd thought in their menial minds. Our agents George W. Bush and Dick Cheney have master orchestrated the disintegration of the US government and have nearly finished trashing the Constitution. Our enemies are frantic, assessing and attacking only the symptoms of our success because they have not a clue how to detect, let alone deal with, the underlying power networks of international; corporate power! AH! HA! HA! HA! They do not grasp the real implications of events now occurring before their very eyes. Not for them, nor for their constituents. Nor will they, until it's too late. Remember that the concept of
a power amplifier or extender is generic. It
includes any ongoing
generic process or system that can systematically be applied to control
the flow of both power markers and the power amplifiers of competitors,
i.e., in systems terms this represents of a flow of detect,
assess and
select, and effect or apply our
influence. I will label
these functions of detect, select, and effect (DSE).
[DSE]
By this DSE process, we manage every aspects of our plan. At
the mechanical level, here are some examples of
our DSE extensions:
These are only the technological
examples of how we extend
our personal power. Even more important and relevant to our
cause is
our
ability to arrange individuals, groups and organizations to serve as
extensions
of our personal power. These are our institutional surrogates that
amplify
our DSE potential, if you will. This power
exists both as
the organizations themselves and as subsystems of organizations under
their
control, i.e. departments. Here are some examples:
These entities have no comprehension how or why they were hit, and why they are isolated and nobody helps them with what they can experience as even the most obscene injustice. Our saboteurs, including the new computer hacker renegades, infect the functioning of competitive organizations, ruining computer code, arranging for stupid and counterproductive decisions at every level of management where they are installed. We employ a battalion of computer hackers to infect key Internet and corporate sites as required to serve our tactics. We have even begun to fire our long time staff to hire foreign lackeys who are more vulnerable to our control than obstreperous US citizens. The legal status of all those who oppose us are to be progressively enervated and neutralized. Ultimately, and we have already begun, we will control various kinds of enforcers and enforcer groups, beginning with our own personal security, thugs and hit men, and finally the public's own police and military. Think of it! None of our employee servants who contribute to any one of these functions within our comprehensive organization have any idea at all what they are a part of. They live only for their paycheck and the diversions it buys. They serve the SSPBPM through our core organizations. The do not even suspect how their activities contribute to a master plan, our master plan. Should they act to oppose us for what they believe is fair and good cause, even inadvertently, or especially when they threaten us as whistle blowers, they will be ruthlessly removed. They must never know what hits them or why. There must be no paper or media trail. Nor do any of them suspect that when we close the loop, when we act to solidify and make permanent our gains, that we will then cleanse ourselves of all this useless baggage. Anyone who might hope to undo this achievement will be abruptly removed from work, or possibly from life itself. In any case, they will discover this too late to counter us, and they will have no rights of appeal. Keep these concepts in mind. You will find their constant presence as I layout our grand plan. The public's stupidly limits their concept of our institutional and corporate resources to only the specific products and services they provide. They think of these things as the compartmentalized entities they name, such as businesses and corporations, and even "the government." They cannot think of these as tools, power amplifiers, or how each serves as a specialized part of a complex network of influences that can work together to achieve a particular goal for their owners, us. They think these resources only exist to make money by providing the products and services they offer. The public in its ignorance of the concepts of power markers and power amplifiers does not, and cannot link any of these entities to our personal power structure and the politics we have arranged to protect and expand it. Government and other public institutions that we increasingly control likewise become our power amplifiers, our puppets, again without the public's understanding of what or why we do with them what we do. As I will emphasize, government regulation is a primal enemy of our plan. We furiously beat the drum of government and regulatory condemnation constantly and loudly. For more than two decades now, we have constantly beat up the government to humiliate it in the public mind even as we exploit it. We have carefully trained the public to see their own government as a threat, an enemy, and an impediment for them. They blindly accept this position without being able to give a single valid reason why our claim is true, except that we have focused them on waste and inefficiencies that we ourselves have created. They cannot imagine that a business is actually a personal power amplifier for its owners. Even less can they imagine a government agency being a power amplifier that is actually managed by, and manipulated to serve whoever controls it. We know it is no longer the electorate, but the likes of us. (Ah! Ha! Ha!). Like fleas that have been conditioned to remain trapped in the a jar even after the lid is removed [re PCC], the public never examines the function of a business from the personal power side. Therefore they cannot ask the crucial question, who owns the power, nor can they then follow the power. They cannot even follow the money thanks to how we have obscured and confused its actual flow. They just accept its presence from their perspective of being a consumer of its products or services. They are not able to ask, "what is it doing for the owner besides "make money?" Because it is not in their consciousness, they cannot even imagine it, let alone think of it this way. But we do! But I now want to emphasize how we exploit business and government as our power amplifiers, for this is crucial to our advancing success. "Power management" requires the systematic organization of other people in order to use their work, intelligence and energy to serve us within our power amplifiers. Any business is metaphorically equivalent to the fishing rod that empowers its owner to catch "fish." But instead of being a simple rod, collecting businesses serves to create an all embracing net that operates in the waters that contain all varieties of desired power markers or "fish." The plan you are about examine in its entirety for the first time, empowers us to first capture various forms of personal power, from simple power markers such as money itself, then to obtain absolute control over the power amplifiers themselves, e.g., the various businesses and institutions for accumulating money, or regulating the rules and enforcement by which this happens. Then we move to other international businesses, then to conglomerates of businesses and finally to the government itself with all of its services, and its regulatory and enforcement powers. As you will soon learn, we do not do this in a compartmentalized linear fashion, but as a steady collective progression of accomplishing a little bit at a time in each area, all together at the same time, comprehensively, steadily, relentlessly. I emphasize: this is a glorious plan that must never leave your lips or hands under penalty of death. Several of our former brethren not in this room have already been removed, not just from responsibility, but from life. You indeed are my chosen and trusted ones. Your rewards for living up to this honor will be great indeed! Never before in the history of humanity has there ever been a feasible idea, let alone an achievable plan to accomplish what we are about to accomplish. [Suggestion: stop and go back to read the top left hand column of this section] ... A Hierarchy of Power Amplifiers ![]() This figure [above, reproduced from dialogue 4 on power and control] describes the symbols by which I will show you how power is used to serve the needs of those who own it. We will begin with the most primal expression of power in the early ages of humanity, to see how the management of personal power has evolved to the current day. This continuity will facilitate your understanding of your special assignments in the context of this whole. At every level of increasing social complexity, the desired good (the pie) is separated from the power broker by some kind of natural barrier, a gate. That gate, as shown in this figure, is defined by the principal opposing force shown just under it. In this initial figure the "gatekeeper" at the earliest stage of human civilization, it is only the primal wilderness which must be overcome by the individual to survive and thrive. The story of personal power is the story of how the power brokers of humanity have accommodated to the changing nature of the blocking gate that impedes or blocks their access to absolute power and control during each phase in the evolution of humanity. At each level of human advancement, the nature of the gate becomes more complex. Its true function as a power amplifier is more and more easily hidden in this complexity. The direct laying on of hostile hands to control another person is obvious at the primitive level where it is used. But the manipulation of stocks and bond, the the rules that direct their use, is lost on most of the public, even those who "play" the stock market. As individuals must become more specialized to serve smaller and smaller elements of this whole, they become more disconnected from the Holistic meaning of what they do with reference to the whole. For this flaw of consciousness, we are grateful. Notice as we proceed, how the nature of the gate, i.e., the principal opposing force shown under it, becomes more complex, subtle, symbolically described and therefore, more abstract, demanding and challenging to understand and apply. Today the gate is opened by means of how our businesses (and the networks by which we coordinate them,) are managed. Each is a literal tool of power. As a consequence of our plan's continuing success, these institutional systems become transformed into our personal power amplifiers. By organizing others to create power for us, I will show you how we make real and explicit (only for ourselves) the abstract idea of how these power markers work for us. At the same time, we blind and bind the public and their law makers not owned by us. Society has accepted our distractions and sees financing as only money that buys the mechanisms for creating products and services. But a power marker is any widely accepted symbolic indicator of the status of one's personal power. A power marker carries the authority that guarantees for its owner the permissions required to control and dominate others as defined by the nature of the power marker and the rules that have been created to regulate it. In this scheme, enforcement has equal importance with the rules of power. Within this cloak of ignorance these naive fools, thinking that they are serving themselves, work furiously in our behalf, oblivious to the ultimate futility of it for them. They are as helpless as the slaves who muscled the great stones that built the pyramids, but our slaves think that they will actually own and participate in the finished product, our glorious pyramid of power. Thank God our President Bush is advancing the idea that Social Security, an enormous drain on our direct access to the power in the national treasury, can be replaced by redirecting this power, and pouring the electorate's power (money) directly into our stocks and bonds, Ah! HA! HA! HA!. After all, does not our capitalist myths so state that this is a good?! Ah! Ha! Ha! So they unwittingly support our expanding networks of economic and political power and control. They falsely believe themselves as owning a piece of the action. This is like proclaiming that they "own" a leased car, or even the one for which they were forced to borrow money. We constantly trumpet the clarion call of unregulated "free enterprise." Then we continue to organize and dominate (if not outright control) a sufficient number of the power amplifiers of others. At some point we will at last have a critical mass of power and influence under our reliable control. We will control all the economic resources of the earth, including all the people who are caught in that net, that is nothing less than everyone who must work to live. The Flow of Power in a
Hierarchy of Power Amplifiers
At some point, elements of the public will suddenly catch on to their danger, but not yet have had the time to fully understand its nature and dynamics. At that point they may be prepared to use extreme means to save themselves. Therefore our use of raw physical force becomes inevitable at some point in order to finalize the security of our power. Now I began at the level of the individual in an aboriginal tribe and will show you how the application of personal power has evolved into the progressively more complex abstractions that we manage today. Then you will clearly see where our actual power markers are, and how they work. For the public, however, where and how these power entities actually function is hidden by language, social, economic and political complexity. This confusion is empowered by the unchallenged mythology we promote. All of this is far beyond the public's ability or will to comprehend. We must ensure that it stays that way. Therefore, as a part of our strategy, I will show you how we must be careful to preserve and protect this helpful condition of ignorant public apathy. [Go to pick up and finish

and Control by Enforcers
The following sequence reveals how the PMs plan to aggregate personal power across increasing levels of institutional and social complexity. The application of power and force begins with the will and capability of the individual PM. To prevail, like his counterpart, the alpha baboon, [in dialogue 2: see The Allegory of the Baboon Society] he must be willing and capable in the ruthless use of physical force, one on one, with any challenger. That core of will and ruthlessness must remain as the PM acts to aggregate his personal power potential across the remaining nine levels of increasing social complexity, subtlety and sophistication. To remain dominant at higher stages of social complexity, the PM must be able to acquire control over coalitions of individuals. These individuals are then orchestrated to function within various organizations of different kinds. Disloyalty and non-compliance among his minions becomes the greatest sin. As social complexity increases, the functions of human organizations and institutions must become more and more specialized to focus on explicit political, commercial, and social goals. The existence and behavior of these entities become more and more obscure to the electorate. The PM must then act to acquire control of these organizations to coordinate them under an umbrella, ideally, under a single point of control. In business, this organizational structure is called a conglomerate. The PM's goal in collecting a conglomerate is to pyramid power by engulfing and consuming those specialized organizations capable of providing desired spheres of influence, power, and control. These organizations (i.e., their CEO's and boards of directors) are chosen to be manipulated within the hierarchy of power and control. The criteria for choosing are defined by the PM's who manage the flagship organization. The engulfing of candidate organizations creates a hierarchy of potential for social influence and control which can be understood as a pyramid of power. In such a plan, the mm is assigning his co-conspirators to fulfill their specialized roles within that pyramid. They are the extensions of his will. They act in his behalf to control the specialized sub organizational components that make up the master pyramid. There can exist pyramids within pyramids. This aggregation of power is described across 10 stages that apply 20 explicit rules for accumulating, protecting, and using personal power. These rules for control are applied from the top by the mm's trusted managers and co-conspirators, the SSPBPM. Each member is assigned to orchestrate a separate function which manifests as a corporate and institutional element, e.g., bank, media, information, manufacturing, distribution, etc. This capacity to orchestrate is required to complete and operate the whole of the power pyramid. Notice that this orchestration
and the values that direct it
Both those who serve in institutions within the power pyramid, and those external to it, all serve as either slaves or victims to the will and control by the mm's inner circle. Are you a functionary in service to this scheme? Are you in a position to thwart it, or "blow the whistle" in such a scheme? What will happen if you, and others like you, choose to do nothing?

Watcher (MW): (To his students The Builders

MW: The nature of will in the primal state of consciousness is devoted almost solely to the management of fear. Fear undergirds all sensate ego manifestations, from initial obsessions with security and survival, to maximum ego aggrandizement, i.e., the more I am overtly admired, the more secure I feel among my followers and detractors, but the greater my incipient fear that someone or something will take it away. Primal, innate fear is the tragic legacy from failing to recover our lost memory of our unbroken Spiritual Connection to the Super Conscious Realms of Spirit. Our primal sense of abandonment that occurs at birth is the mother fear which nurtures all other manifestations of our fear. [recall the Primal Dream of the Infant] Your ego is the father/mother of the ego's intellect that directs and nurtures all of our energy to manage this fear through the DSE process managed by your intellect. The ego defines your illusory reality, makes it appear absolute and final, and directs you to the intellectual machinations by which you believe you can control the world and cope with and resolve your fear. But all of this frantic activity is mere illusion and is not attainable. By the time you are adults, the conscious presence of this primal fear of abandonment which serves as as the energizing force behind your ego has been long repressed. The Power Monger (PM) reflects the most primal expression of displaced fear, the need to control everything. Yet the placid face of any aggressive person, presents only a shadow, which masks the violence ready to be displaced. The energy is fear, fear of the stranger (xenophobia) and the unknown which propels the beast within to take aggressive action. Only the Rambo in each of you after birth can respond to this unconscious source of fear by overt defensive actions, e.g., preemptive aggression and laying on of hostile hands. [external commentary] But the prototype PM must find the counterbalance of applying direct force vs manipulating fear and intimidation. This requires that he form a tenuous bond with the "witch doctor" archetype. Then in order to control the aggregated efforts of others to overthrow his power, the Rambo must form a protective coalition within which he can dominate and control. The group then is mobilized to carry out his aggression. [external commentary] Intertribal conflict was mostly energized by overpopulation pressures with in the food ecology, perhaps combined with some natural disaster, such as a drought or blight acting to drive off animals or shrink the supply of food stuff that supports their society. The brute force of Rambo who expresses as today's version of the "Atilla the Hun" archetype, appears most often in the role of enforcer. Atilla is counterbalanced by his incipient fear of the witch doctor's apparent access to supernatural forces of awesome magnitude. But the witch doctor must constantly confront the possibility of Atilla's willingness to use brute force power to destroy him/her. A balance of intimidation usually results. So a tenuous arrangement of shared power over groups and coalitions becomes the center of power around which revolves the use of Rambo's force and the witch doctor's intimidation. They hold each other at bay, circling like two combatants in a knife fight, each fearing the other's will and skill to effectively use their perceived source of power. [Ref Ayn Rand, 1981] As the feminine mirror of the primal masculine energy manifesting as Rambo, the witch doctor as a feminine archetype resorts to passive means to create, manipulate, and exploit tangible symbols of the incipient unconscious fear in the tribe. You will observe this primal model of force and intimidation persists within the hierarchy of organizational complexity you are about to see explained by the PM to his inner circle. While Rambo, being the active force, gets most of the visibility at the early stages of the evolution of power the passive witch doctor is ever present in the background, and finds more visible expression as coalitions, groups, and villages are formed until at the more advanced stages, entire industries must be controlled.

Stage 1: Exercise of Personal
Will
Master Monger (MM:) The first level of the ownership of power is the simple, one-on-one brute force control over the wilderness experience itself and including the occasional need to dominate another human being. But then as a response to such abusive use of force and the natural challenges of the wilderness, early humanity learned to band itself into coalitions and groups from which there emerged the first primal leaders. Monger Rambo, you are being groomed for your ultimate role as our enforcer. But you also represent the archetypal leader for controlling groups and coalitions at by personal dominance to create stage two of the evolution of power and control. What are the principles and rules of power and control that you apply so well, and what is your assignment for our group? Monger Rambo:

The focus of power in primitive tribal cultures is bipolar because they are entrapped in a simple rural-agrarian way of life. Thus they do not develop an expanded intellectual consciousness to perceive and select from alternative possibilities. In order to fend off sources of threat, they see no other option that to try to balance the bipolar axis of power between Rambo, the physical force, and the witch doctor, the Supernatural force. However, the witch doctor's power depends upon the power monger's awareness of and belief in the presence of supernatural forces commanded by the witch doctor. The group or tribe to be managed must also believe in these forces. In today's current confusion between religion and Spirituality, the power brokers in the high tech societies of these scheming power mongers tend to reject Spirituality along with religion which they both dismiss as sectarian, power oriented, weak, and corrupt. But they conspire to manipulate the incipient fears in fundamentalist and simplistic religions to cause their members to serve their evil goals. However, you will find these power mongers will align themselves politically with right wing religionists [definition] who value various expressions of primal force to achieve a feeling of safety through the acquisition of political control. These power mongers are either oblivious to, or they reject even the possibility of purely Spiritual forces that will affect their objectives. There is a significant confusion and imbalance today between the archetypal roles of Atilla (today as Rambo) and the witch doctor (today as clergy.) That confusion and imbalance inflames the capacity of the power monger to use Rambo's brute force without concern for being held Spiritually accountable. The concepts of Karma and Reincarnation (K&R) with their inevitable Perfect Justice are of course absent from their consciousness. And as those societies in which religion is embedded as a way of life become more materialistic, they focus mostly on, and covet, worldly sources of power. Then the Spiritual potency of such religions becomes diluted or corrupted. The owners of the religions become seduced and co-opted into become political participants themselves in the ruthless quest for the materialist ring of worldly power, called baal [definition] in their Bible. This unholy alliance then becomes even more obscene. The nature of these primal qualities and their dynamics that suck on the teats of power and force that has been summarized in the allegory of "The House of Three Rooms." For these reasons, one of your long range tasks is to return the concept of "family" in western civilization to that of the Spiritually grounded tribe. [Developed in the applications section of OT/MP] The tribe had the advantage that everyone is socially related to everyone at a personal and constant level. Every adult was a parent to all the children of the tribe. If there were adults to which a child had an antipathy, that adult could be avoided even if it was a biological parent. Attention could focus on those adults with which a child had a natural emotional and Spiritual bond. Thus if the relationship between the birth parents and their child was inimical to healthy influences, the child could be nurtured by another adult who showed greater empathy, skill, and commitment to serve the child's needs. There was no disgrace to any parent who thus surrendered the nurturing of their child to another adult who provided a more relevant and healthier influence. On the contrary, such a selfless act was properly honored as an act of love. That surrendering parent could at the same time embrace and parent the child of another adult to create a natural healthy bond. Such relationships were often swapped. The counterpart today would a music loving child born to a sports obsessed parent. Such a child could be influenced by another music loving adult and vice versa. Any parent could be serving another child's needs with whom they had formed a healthier bond. Then net result of tribal nurturing was the constant ambiance of Love. All adults demonstrated the Spiritual Power of Love in their relationships with all the children of the tribe. [Continue, next, below] | Stage
2: Exercising control
over small and groups and Coalitions
Master
Monger: Now we see the same qualities present in
our friend Rambo
who expresses at the first level of power and control by his direct use
of force.
At that level, one is limited
to the application of brute force and ruthlessness during one-on-one
encounters.
But at this second level, Rambo is vulnerable to being ganged up on and
destroyed by some form of a group or coalition. So Rambo must
advance
to become the leader of such a group or collation. How do you
manage
this Monger Rambo:
Monger Rambo: First I use my cunning and my primal force to challenge the fear and greed of others. I must force them to decide that they can be better off serving me than by opposing me. Furthermore, I must strategically align myself with the supernatural forces they fear in the form of the witch doctor's control over it. This relationship is defined by rule 4 which I also apply. Rule 4: I form a balance of power through threat of force with my opposite, the witch doctor who rules by manipulating abstract fear and cunning. Unfortunately, I must accept a balance of fear by partly depending on my opposite the witch doctor. This relationship insures that there is a balance of both physical and supernatural forces that remain under my control. [See Ayn Rand] MM: Yes. And for now, you have a minimal role at our present state of involvement, but we are already placing you at strategic positions where we will surely call upon you when we reach the final stage. That level will requires you as our master enforcer to to lock in our literal physical and regulatory control over all other aspirants to power, Our control must include all of their institutional extensions, and any who might successfully oppose us. But now, Rambo, we go to your descendent in the form of the King who organizes large coordinated bands, tribes and communities of individuals in order to form and control towns and villages called principalities.

In this phase of the evolution of social control, the Rambo must give way to a consciousness beyond that limited to the reactive use of ruthless force. Now Rambo must become the king. In coalition with his coconspirator, the witch doctor, now called the priest, he further seals his role by claiming divine right as ordained by God and as blessed and consecrated by the high priest. When a power monger manifests at the level of the king, then entire communities and villages are collected under the rule of that king. In later centuries, queens competed for rule as well. Clashes among kings are often fueled by overpopulation pressures in the various kingdoms. Land is equivalent to food supply, and its occupants can be objectified, defined as inferior, and then destroyed. In this era of kings, the primal power of the witch doctor takes on more subtle trappings and the Rambo expressed as king must appeal to the religious authority of the witch doctor to rule by "divine right." [source] Thus a balance of power is created by rule that tends to reduce the tensions between these conflicting forces. Then the king and the priest evolved into the modern clergy of today's religions that serve within the power structures of high tech societies, some governed at least in part by royalty, e.g., England. This relationship was defined by abuses energized by significant suspicion and distrust that was resolved by creating the separation of church and state doctrine that was written into the United States' Constitution, but which is being broken down today by the significant pressures from the religious right. Then to insure his span of control embraces as much as possible of the countryside, for the first time, rudimentary negotiation becomes a tool for maintaining control over potential challengers by sharing power under defined and agreed upon conditions. We are observing the power mongers here as they attempt to create in their high tech organizational culture, a fulfillment of the principle of kingship. But the concept of "divine right" is replaced today by symbols of secular competence and legal legitimacy and dominance. However, the negotiation is still influenced by the intimidation emanating from the will of the controlling "king," the master monger. These rules permit fiefdoms and principalities to exist if they are ruled by less dominant types than the king, i.e., by compliant and cooperative dukes and barons. Some of these can cooperatively rule both directly and indirectly by a rite of ascension thorough which they can hope to become king or queen, however unrealistic. You will most easily recognize this stage in its modern expression in the form of Mafia and other crime organizations that thrive outside of the "legitimate" institutions of society. Likewise you will find drug cartels where disputes are quickly settled in the street with guns and explosives. And so, the PM arranges to continue this tradition as he plans for the secular expression of himself as a corporate king with his equivalent corporate royalty. Instead of town and villages, the power amplifiers are corporations and conglomerates. Please do notice that in all of these machinations, the consciousness of the actors in these scenarios increasingly are focused outward into the material world. Only the priests persist in holding to a remnant of his/her steadily fading inward link to GOD. But the history of western religions shows how this link steadily became corrupted with worldly concerns and attentions of secular materialism, i.e., the politics of the religious right. The strength of this link is inversely proportional to the ruler/priest's preoccupation with secular matters, a preoccupation that now almost fully consumes them. As the complexity of civilization increases with expanding population pressures, the role of religion is mostly replaced by institutionalized secular governance which becomes dominant. I will note as an aside at this point, that the yearnings of Islamic fundamentalists for their own national theocracy is a throwback to this earlier era. The major difference now is that in today's world, the world you will inherit, these primal, fear driven, and ego managed minds have access to the most modern instruments of destruction. Because they are Spiritual empty and impoverished, they are willing and fully prepared and capable to exploit this destructive technology to the full. The PM in this phase of his plot, just as did the archetypal king, must insure the loyalty of his supporters and enforcers, less so his knights and vassals that serve as his foot soldiers under the delegated control of dukes and barons. These enforcers must have the capacity and the will to ruthlessly oppress any member of the kingdom's populace that might refuse to offer their fealty to the king. ACROSS ALL STAGES OF EXPANDING SOCIAL COMPLEXITY, ENFORCEMENT ALWAYS DEPENDS UPON THE ENFORCER'S WILLINGNESS TO: There is a natural limit to growth when the king's minions acquire sufficient territory and/or power over others that they rise either to either kill the king, or form an equivalent adjacent kingdom. In these cycles you can easily see how the constant and inevitable threat of overpopulation is managed as large numbers of vassals, slaves, and minor minions are killed in the struggle. Destroyed crops and plagues are byproducts of this territorial struggle which nurtures the devastation and social disintegration caused by war. Large number ultimately perish. Population balance is restored. The nature of feudal complexity that must be managed by the king, as the number and spread of his minions rapidly increases, becomes altered and complicated with establishment of the commercial dimensions of civilization. Over time, conquest and defense becomes less concerned with raw territory as with the commercial resources that occupy it. Soon commerce grows to dominate the locus of power. Commerce is at first localized within the kingdom's rural agrarian borders. But when barter expands beyond the convenient inner geographic borders, then the commercial crafts and traders begin to express their unique power. They become ever less dependent on their king's largess, generosity, and protection Notice the focus of MM's preoccupation that is evident in his priorities at this stage. Incipient in all of their plans for expansion, regardless of the scale, scope and complexity of worldly social structures, there always remains the need for the dominant power brokers to control their lackeys. Continue next, below |
Stage 3, Domination of Villages
and Towns
Master Monger: So, Monger Rambo, sometimes the best of you and your Witch Doctor are not enough. There is always some group that may be larger, stronger, meaner, more cunning, more organized and more determined. Tell us king monger, when the Rambo in your span of control is challenged by large scale forces that are stronger or more cunning than your Rambo and his witch doctor, what then will you do rather than submit to defeat? Rule 5: Form Large Scale Alliances and Coalitions with Others: King Monger: "First I use the witch doctor to ordain me as God's chosen leader. [Rule by Divine Right] Then I can claim that I rule by "divine right." Then I can extend my personal power by forming alliances and coalitions with other villages and towns in my realm, but under rules by which I maintain control. This larger span of control helps me limit internal opposition by any competing leader and his coalition in one tribe or village. The principle applies today in the form of CEO (Chief Executive officer) of very large corporations Rule 6: Enforcement of
Compliance and Loyalty of Others
