Slavery and the eight veils

by Don Harkins

Over the last several years I have evolved and discarded several theories in an attempt to explain why it is that most people cannot see truth -- even when it smacks them in the face. Those of us who can see "the conspiracy" have participated in countless conversations amongst ourselves that address the frustration of most peoples' inability to comprehend the extremely well-documented arguments which we use to describe the process of our collective enslavement and exploitation. The most common explanation to be arrived at is that most people just "don't want to see" what is really going on.

Extremely evil men and women who make up the world's power-elite have cleverly cultivated a virtual pasture so grass green that few people seldom, if ever, bother to look up from where they are grazing long enough to notice the brightly colored tags stapled to their ears.

The same people who cannot see their enslavement for the pasture grass have a tendency to view as insane "conspiracy theorists" those of us who can see the past the farm and into the parlor of his feudal lordship's castle.

Finally, I understand why.

It's not that those who don't see that their freedom is vanishing under the leadership of the power-elite "don't want to see it" -- they simply can't see what is happening to them because of the unpierced veils that block their view.

All human endeavors are a filtration process. Sports is one of the best examples. We play specific sports until we get kicked off the playground. The pro athletes we pay big bucks to watch just never got kicked off the playground. Where millions of kids play little league each spring, they are filtered out until there are about 50 guys who go to the World Series in October.

Behind the first veil: There are over six billion people on the planet. Most of them live and die without having seriously contemplated anything other than what it takes to keep their lives together. Ninety percent of all humanity will live and die without having pierced the first veil.

The first veil: Ten percent of us will pierce the first veil and find the world of politics. We will vote, be active and have an opinion. Our opinions are shaped by the physical world around us; we have a tendency to accept that government officials, network media personalities and other "experts" are voices of authority. Ninety percent of the people in this group will live and die without having pierced the second veil.

The second veil: Ten percent of us will pierce the second veil to explore the world of history, the relationship between man and government and the meaning of self-government through constitutional and common law. Ninety percent of the people in this group will live and die without having pierced the third veil.

The third veil: Ten percent of us will pierce the third veil to find that the resources of the world, including people, are controlled by extremely wealthy and powerful families whose incorporated old world assets have, with modern extortion strategies, become the foundation upon which the world's economy is currently indebted. Ninety percent of the people in this group will live and die without having pierced the fourth veil.

The fourth veil: Ten percent of us will pierce the fourth veil to discover the Illuminati, Freemasonry and the other secret societies. These societies use symbols and perform ceremonies that perpetuate the generational transfers of arcane knowledge that is used to keep the ordinary people in political, economic and spiritual bondage to the oldest bloodlines on earth. Ninety percent of the people in this group will live and die without having pierced the fifth veil.

The fifth veil: Ten percent of us will pierce the fifth veil to learn that the secret societies are so far advanced technologically that time travel and interstellar communications have no boundaries and controlling the actions of people is what their members do as offhandedly as we tell our children when they must go to bed. Ninety percent of the people in this group will live and die without having pierced the sixth veil.

The sixth veil: Ten percent of us will pierce the sixth veil where the dragons and lizards and aliens we thought were the fictional monsters of childhood literature are real and are the controlling forces behind the secret societies. Ninety percent of the people in this group will live and die without piercing the seventh veil.

The seventh veil: I do not know what is behind the seventh veil. I think it is where your soul is evolved to the point you can exist on earth and be the man Ghandi was, or the woman Peace Pilgrim was-people so enlightened they brighten the world around them no matter what.

The eighth veil? Piercing the eighth veil probably reveals God and the pure energy that is the life force in all living things-which are, I think, one and the same.

If my math is accurate there are only about 60,000 people on the planet who have pierced the sixth veil. The irony here is too incredible: Those who are stuck behind veils one through five have little choice but to view the people who have pierced the veils beyond them as insane. With each veil pierced, exponentially shrinking numbers of increasingly enlightened people are deemed insane by exponentially increasing masses of decreasingly enlightened people.

Adding to the irony, the harder a "sixth or better veiler" tries to explain what he is able to see to those who can't, the more insane he appears to them.

Our enemy, the state

Behind the first two veils we find the great majority of people on the planet. They are tools of the state: Second veilers are the gullible voters whose ignorance justify the actions of politicians who send first veilers off to die in foreign lands as cannon fodder -- their combined stations in life are to believe that the self-serving machinations of the power-elite are matters of national security worth dying for.

Third, fourth, fifth and sixth veilers are of increasing liability to the state because of their decreasing ability to be used as tools to consolidate power and wealth of the many into the hands of the power-elite. It is common for these people to sacrifice more of their relationships with friends and family, their professional careers and personal freedom with each veil they pierce.

Albert Jay Nock (1870-1945), author of "Our Enemy, the State" (1935), explained what happens to those who find the seventh and eighth veils: "What was the best that the state could find to do with an actual Socrates and an actual Jesus when it had them? Merely to poison one and crucify the other, for no reason but that they were too intolerably embarrassing to be allowed to live any longer."

Conclusions

And so now we know that it's not that our countrymen are so committed to their lives that, "they don't want to see," the mechanisms of their enslavement and exploitation. They simply "can't see" it as surely as I cannot see what's on the other side of a closed curtain.

The purpose of this essay is threefold: To help the handful of people in the latter veils to understand why the masses have little choice but to interpret their clarity as insanity; 2. To help people behind the first two veils understand that living, breathing and thinking are just the beginning and; 3. Show people that the greatest adventure of our life is behind the next veil because that is just one less veil between ourselves and God.

It has taken some time for companies to set up policies to comply with this bill. Sounding innocent enough corporations are supposed to have internal auditing procedures and make efforts to certify financial affairs.
As an engineer with 20 years in the manufacturing business I can easily testify that this bill creates staggering losses unseen by the very same bean counters who set it up.

Anyone who does taxes can relate to the complexity of accounting speak, which IMHO is very similar to Newspeak. I chose engineering, it is a hard science, rather than accounting as I have little patience for bullshit.

First off more and more of my job function has been diverted away from the solid and creative engineering functions. In recent projects man days have been lost drawing up paperwork and seeking three competitive bids for items so specialized that they are mostly made by a sole company.

Secondly in a large company with several manufacturing locations transfer of equipment unused at one facility but still very useful at another has ceased. The transfer of say a laser welding system now takes literally weeks of accounting permission,valuation,asset transfer, move cost estimates and so forth. Gone are the days when I drove my truck up there and they loaded it on.

Third, when one location closes down and leaves thousands of dollars worth of brand new electrical components still in the box. Upon seeing this I asked for items that our location could use. It was not in the time schedule to inventory all of these items. The dumpster company was the proud recipient of these brand new components.

Financial concerns and policy have become a priority above all others. A business mantra of compliance uber alles has developed and with it each zampolit beancounter's ego, inflamed to new dimensions are having their way with us the engineers. Guess what? It's tax day every day, sort of like the movie Ground Hog Day.

All this while whole factories go overseas because, what was it now, it's too expensive here. There is no indicator however measuring the wasted man years this law created.
That program it seems is no longer useful and like fashion has been stuffed into the business concept recycle bin along with any hope of American business ever being
"competitive in the global marketplace".
Vomit bag not optitional.

The main theme here is just that individual private citizens simply can't be given the power to speak out, potentially on a global level to other citizens. Most recently we have seen the effects of censorship of the Chinese internet. At work we are regulated first by Websense or Surfcontrol to prevent us from "unauthorized" nonbusiness use of their computer systems. Ya, well Ok, so that means most people don't have a good enough work ethic to actually do work while at work? Well, why not? We always fail to address the cause of a problem. So instead, my pension gets bypassed because they NEED a 50,000 program to tell me what I can and can not access.
Just today I tried to e-mail a political board and the e-mail came back...OK.. I now have to knock this off too? Even if it's lunch hour?
Back in 2003 Windows Palladium contained truely evil provisions and capabilities that you can still research today know as Digital Rights Management. I have not searched lately but I am sure the consortium of assholes and their version of the net is not the open free structure we have now.
Every day though I think powerful people in high places are regreting the changes the net has brought about. Now they are after political boards, bloggers. They want to regulate.
WHAT HAPPENED TO DEREGULATION assholes? Don't you just hate people so hypocrytical they don't make an sense at all?
Then AOL and other major ISPs have their own commercial crap vision for the net. Ads you can't turn off, tracking your every mouseclick. Do we remember newsgoups being free? Do we realize the current lack of real free information on the net compared to what it was even two years ago?

Bottom line, it's just too powerful a tool to put in the hands of a prole.

In my book.
Lying to the American public to start a war is an impeachable offense.
The performance of the government after Katrina is an impeachable offense.
Torture in violation of the Geneva Conventions is an impeachable offense.
Planning, executing, and then covering up the events of 911 is an impeachable offense.
Wire tapping, data mining America citizens an openly, blatanly and with total distain for the rubber stamp FISA court is an impeachable offense.
No bid contracts for Halliburton is an impeachable offense.
The Downing Street Minutes are an impeachable offense.
The designed destruction of America in EVERYTHING this administration does is an impeachable offense.
Censure? WTF?

The company I work for has just contracted with a health survey company. The scam is that the health survey company questions employees as to their personal medical information in a effort to "reduce health care costs" overall. The health survey company will then "coach" the employee into a healthier lifestyle.
There are several problems with this. If you check out the "privacy" policy it essentially states that the company will give your personal medical information gladly to Agent Undershaft if he flashes his homeboy security badge. That and other disclaimers essentially state that if the health survey company "feels like it" your information is up for grabs.
The bottom line here is that if you really value your information security the best advantage you personally could have is that it is in and resides in as FEW COMPUTER DATABASES as possible.
So, please tell these people to go pound sand when they ask for YOUR medical info.
Tell them you think data mining sucks and bluntly point out why.
Then, hey the Census is coming....Fuck that. Ya, I am me, now get the fuck otta here.
