Who Controls the World?

David Icke talks about “Postage Stamp Consensus;” it means that all the institutions of society, politics, government, law, science, academia, medicine, media, business banking, etc. are all founded on the same assumptions about the world and reality when they are nothing more than illusions. They are founded (quantum physics excepted) on the world being solid, brain over mind, consciousness of little value, souless bodies, isolation, lack of relatedness-in other words, an aggressive and unforgiving reductionism. Atheists are right at home in this godless ethos. I am reading books about the New Testament by atheists and they are trying to find historical evidence for the existence of Jesus. They can’t because they are reductionists. They refuse to believe that miracles are possible, although one of their arguments is that there were other Jesuses running around performing miracles!! But they just don’t believe in the paranormal or the possibility that someone could be healed supernaturally. They can’t believe that people can be changed as a result of an NDE.

But I’m off the topic. In this Postage Stamp Consensus, the only change is physical change. But what if someone with a mind says, “but isn’t the physical world an illusion?” At this objection the defenses go up. The Cult’s agenda must prevail, so the first line of defense is censorship by peer pressure. Icke calls it the “paramilitary arm of ‘everyone knows that’ syndrome.” This is self-censorship-the ‘worst of all censorships.‘ It’s the ‘tyranny of silence.’ Avoiding the consequences of peer pressure. Allowing one to be programmed into believing ‘mega untruths’ and insisting that others do the same. If one doesn’t acquiesce, then anything from ridicule to a lost career can follow. In Icke’s opinion the peer pressure to conform is “psychological fascism.”

The examples are too many to count. Political correctness is the best known. It’s very hard to relate to a new acquaintance when there are so many sexual catagories and identities, and the power of the federal government can reach down into your mildest mistake. Someone asked an acquaintance if he were part Asian and that Someone got into a lot of trouble for mild curiosity and small talk. Evangetical Bible professors in seminaries and colleges can lose their jobs if they do not stick to the literal meaning of the Bible. One such professor suggested that an event in the NT might be symbolic rather than literal and lost his job. The Climate Change Cult is another example. The electromagnetic activity around the sun affects our climate, not humans. As I sit here, it is snowing in April in Upstate New York. So much for climate change.

Social media’s appearance has added to the pressure to conform. I have been posting controvercial blogs on my Facebook page for years. But this week they decided to disable my posting ability. When I typed a blog, I would click on Post but nothing would happen. After a couple of days of this I went backstage and asked Admin to fix it. Admin didn’t fix it. So I wrote a note to Admin saying they should have given me a warning before censoring me, so that I could redirect the content of my blogs. When I finished the note, I clicked on Post and it worked. They gave me my blog back but with the proviso that I self-censor. This sort of thing is happening all over the US, and it’s scary, but it’s just not that important to get worked up about.
