Steiner? Slavics leading the next world cycle?

Postby glubglubglub » Sun Nov 06, 2005 2:11 am

To Dream's End -- about New Dawn Magazine

Postby starroute » Sun Nov 06, 2005 3:48 am

I've just been looking over the New Dawn website a bit. I actually used to read their online material for a while in the 90's, but quickly gave up because most of it seemed to be from the making-shit-up school of occultism. At that time, it didn't strike me as anything more than a run-of-the-mill occult/conspiracy theory magazine.<br><br>I could be wrong, but the impression I got from the quick overview I just had is that since Bush took power, their core organizing principle has become rabid anti-Americanism. As Australians, they are terrified of the prospect of American corporate hegemony and are prepared to endorse anything that seems to offer a way out, from reactionary Russian nationalism to pseudo-Mayan prophecies of doom -- and they're not putting a lot of effort into making it all consistent.<br><br>I did catch what seemed like fascist overtones in a number of the things they endorse or link to, but the people putting the magazine together may not even be aware of that themselves. They're simply looking to make common cause with anybody who's willing to say "boo" to the Americans, no matter how rancid.<br><br>(My son just wandered by and pointed out that the Australians he encounters online have been complaining that their own government is getting more and more fascist, so there also may be an element of projecting blame outward and not coming to terms with their own failings.)<br><br>At any rate, I'm not inclined to see any deep, dark conspiratorial pattern behind what they do or don't print. I think it's a lot simpler than that.<br> <p></p><i></i>

That would be one way to interpret all this. <br><br>As for New Dawn, I shouldn't make any overall claims about the thing just yet. They have a stable of semi-regular writers who have little or no web presence elsewhere so it's hard to get a handle on them.<br><br>And no, no overt fascism at all, but some consistencies (maybe) in the myths they choose. Actually, because of the red black color scheme and the emphasis on Eurasian mythos and featuring of Dugin, I wondered if maybe they weren't a project of the whole National Bolshevik thing. National Bolshevism is hard to classify. It actually would use language that is rather leftist in some ways...more anti-capitalist than most modern strains of fascism, but hypernationalism and racialism (concealed, I imagine, behind calls for "cultural autonomy" or something) are also features.<br><br>Thanks for all this discussion and posting. I'd love to know more about New Dawn magazine...who puts it out, etc. I don't even know if there IS a national bolshevik presence in Australia, so my theory is really more thinking out loud. <br><br>let me briefly outline my overall working model of what's going on and folks can see if what you are finding supports this.<br><br>Back in '73 we have the founding of the Trilateral Commission by Rockefeller. He works with Maurice Strong. Part of their agenda is to decrease ideas of nationalism and increase ideas of "one-worldism"...not for the purposes of creating a "Star-Trek" style utopia, but really just to make it easier for capital to flow as efficiently as possible. <br><br>Part of this effort involves using whatever information channels are available to spread "Western" values. But I think there was more (all the above is pretty clearly documented in Holly Sklar's "Trilateralism"). I think that much of the "New Age" movement, especially the use of syncretic, Eastern style philosophies (regardless of their intrinsic worth or truth) is a very deep and comprehensive plan to attempt, at least, to get the middle classes looking at their navels and not at capitalist shenanigans. So along with the trilateral commission, you get Strong's world peace and New Age foundations and movements. The timing really confirms that it's all part of the same plan of "managing" society.<br><br>Later, David Rockefeller starts putting all kinds of money into UFO's, crop circles (I'm interested in these, whatever they turn out to be, so I'm not implying they are all bullshit) etc. I will research this further. I think this is part of the same deal. In fact, I think that you could speculate with some degree of sanity that "alien abductions" are sometimes simply black ops to get this message out there. Well, two messages. One is the whole New Age, one world (god, I sound like a John Bircher...stick with me a sec) ideology out there but the other is more complex. I can't figure WHY they are doing it, but THEY most certainly are. THEY are pushing the idea that we are headed for a big collapse. <br><br>I think that earlier UFO, end of the world type cults were "practice." I'm not saying they will NECESSARILY actually create an apocalypse. In fact, I think it is somewhat likely that it is simply the IDEA of impending doom that needs to be gotten out there. So on the New Age front we have the whole 2012 meme and on the "political" front we have Peak this or that. So whether they are preparing us for downsizing of both our lives and the world population, or whether they are merely keeping political activists under control by wining and dining them with New Age, work on yourself ideologies on the one hand and then frightening us with certain doom on the other, I think that this agenda is pretty clear. This, I think, is where Heinberg comes in. He combines the New Age side with the political/ecological side (and even the more fascist side as we'll see below). This is his "job" though I don't know what level of awareness he has about his own role here. He was in a cult after all. <br><br>I think that much of conspiracy theory is, in fact, intentionally created to misdirect. For example, if I were the ruler of the world and the above really were my plan, I could dictate it verbatim to some rightwing ideologue, replace any notions of authorship of this plan to the most powerful elements of capitalist uber-wealthy and change it to "Jews" or "Illuminati" or "Satan worshippers" and then I would have little need to hide my activities. Simply allow the less rigorous conspiracy folks to turn it into something with no credibility.<br><br>This, in fact, is one of the reasons I go after this anti-Semitic, fascist stuff. Not just for its abhorrent ideology itself, but also for its intentional (in my speculative view) use as a means of misdirection.<br><br>Then we get to the actual fascist movements. Ultimately, I don't really fear the overt Stormfront types too much. But what I began to get curious about are the less visible but more powerful strains, as illustrated by Dugin. And what's interesting is that all of the above that I just said could have been said by Dugin. I mean, I think so, anyway. He rails against Soros and the New World Order and the calls for the destruction of the idea of nationalism. <br><br>And yet what ideology does he borrow from primarily? A lot of the Nazi type mythos comes from the same sources that this "New Age" mythos comes from. I am not quite sure what this means. One thing it COULD mean is that my understanding of Dugin and these folks I call fascists who often call themselves "radical conservatives" or "radical traditionalists" is not yet complete enough and that Dugin's ideology is significantly different from the Strong/Valum type ideology. In fact, the New Age movement has ALWAYS had a strong dose of fascist ideology within it. So the only real difference is the OSTENSIBLE opposition to globalism and promotion of nationalism. I admit this confuses me. I think it may be as simple as this: the fascist traditions differ from the globalist agenda only in that they don't pretend to give a fuck about Africa. And since the globalist agenda is really about dominance of the "first world" over the "third world" it pretty much amounts to the same thing, though the New Agers are more fond of pretty pastels and the fascists prefer red and black with sharp angles in their logos.<br><br>As weak as my understanding is, I think we have a clear case of "playing both sides against the middle." You can accept the New Age or oppose it by joining the primary opposition (as they'd like to position it) which ALSO draws on the same mystical tradition.<br><br>Some of the questions I have, then, include:<br><br>How autonomous are modern fascist movements? How hooked into government and intelligence operations are they. As veritas I tried to hint that in Belgium, Dutroux was hooked into a rightwing political network, for example, that then provided child prostititutes and other "services" to a wider variety of politicians and leaders. <br><br> Is Dugin KGB, or does he represent a genuine strain of opposition to the "NWO" (it can be genuine even if we don't agree with their ideology.)<br><br>What's the role of the occult in all of this? I think that my theory (surely not my own, but as I'm coming to understand it myself) that much of the New Age movement was deliberately created by the guardians of capitalism during a time of potential revolutionary activity (late sixties/early seventies) to take the heat off the system. These folks are NOT gods and genuine revolutionary pressure CAN push them around. <br><br>That said, however, there are fascinating hints on this site and elsewhere, that the occult elements certainly did NOT begin with Strong and company in the 70's. I mean, we know the occult has been around...that's not my point. I mean the involvement of some segments of the establishment in the occult. I mean the "Nine", for example. Is this more manipulation or is there a strain of the military/intel/occult complex that precedes and is about MORE than simply attempting to maintain a compliant populace? Is this occult strain really sort of independent from the deliberate manipulation of New Age thought for social control purposes? <br><br>I mean...dang it...do the aliens/extra-dimensional entities ALSO want a fascist world government? Can somebody give us a break, here?<br><br>I feel very confident that this speculative outline, minus my complete befuddlement of the genuine occult side of things, gets at what is going on, and it's what I'm going to be looking into. I have to admit, I'm alarmed at how deep this goes. <br><br> <p></p><i></i>

I've been looking at New Dawn's back issues listings

Postby starroute » Sun Nov 06, 2005 1:32 pm

Back in the late 90's, they were already railing against the Corporate One World Order, but that mostly seemed to amount to calls for solidarity with North Korea and other leftovers of the old Soviet system. At that time, a woman named Susan Bryce was pushing the political/conspiracy theory end of things most heavily. Heinberg was already writing about the collapse of civilization. And they published one article by Dugin about Bill Clinton as the ultimate embodiment of the American push for hegemony.<br><br>However, after Bush comes into office, there's a definite shift from traditional left-wing anti-globalization attitudes to something a good deal more ambiguous. One phrase I saw them using was "revolutionary nationalism." There were also mutterings about a third way, combining elements of communism and capitalism.<br><br>There are a couple of major articles on Eurasianism in the Sep-Oct 2001 issue. And Votan first shows up in Nov-Dec 2002. Finally, sometime after July 2004, they added to their mission statement a "What people are saying about us" section, which includes endorsements by both Votan and Dugin.<br><br>Dream's End -- I don't have time at the moment to read and digest your long post above this one, but I will get back to it. However, I do remain convinced that the overall thrust of what we're seeing here is more fascist than anything else.<br><br>On edit -- I found this piece, defending Bryce against charges of hanging out with defenders of holocaust deniers. Don't know yet what to make of it:<br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.alor.org/Volume38/Vol38No10.htm">www.alor.org/Volume38/Vol38No10.htm</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br> <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=starroute>starroute</A> at: 11/6/05 10:40 am<br></i>

This strategy has many supporters in the "Eastern Establishment" and in Britain, and also in continental Europe (Soros, Kerry, the Clintons, Madeline Albright, Wesley Clark, the elder Bush, Maurice Strong).

During this period, the nation conquers territory<br>for itself, sets up the national statehood and dominates its region, and<br>makes breakthroughs in science, technology and in the humanities.<br>Occasionally, two or several ethni united by natural genetic similarity<br>and adjoined geographically can transform themselves into a single super-<br>ethnos. Thus, the Russians, Ukrainians, and Belarusians, together with<br>Mongol-Turkish people, formed the Great Russian super-ethnos. Other<br>examples of a super-ethnos are mistakenly considered as different peoples.<br>He terms them a single German-Roman super-ethnos. Since every ethnos<br>has its life span, which is about 1200-1500 years, Gumilev judges that the<br>western European super-ethnos is spent. In historical terms, it is doomed<br>to die out unless it gets a new passionary energy from a young super-<br>ethnos—for example, from the Great Russian ethnos, which is only 500<br>years old.<br>Inter-ethnic contact might be fatal for a young and energetic ethnos if it<br>enters into physical contact with an elder "relic" ethnos. Even worse<br><br>would be the contact with a so-called <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>parasite ethnos(do you even need to ask?)</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->, defined as one<br>which lost its national energy and now exists on the energy of other ethni.<br>Here, Gumilev shows his colors both as a crude and sophisticated anti-<br>Semite. He labels the Jews as a parasite ethnos, which has ceased to exist<br>as a separate ethnos. In fact, according to this view, the Jews are not a<br>nation at all, but a specific way of thinking by a certain group of people<br>having Jewish genetic heritage and/or sharing the moral norms of Judaism.<br>In Gumilev's view, every time a parasite ethnos dominated an<br>indigenous ethnos, revolution, civil war, and the creation of what he calls a<br>"chimera" statehood, followed. So it happened with French rationalists,<br>who unleashed the Great French Revolution, and with British Puritans,<br>who created a "chimera" state—the United States. He labels the U.S. a<br>"parasite" state, established by dissidents and "drop outs" from the dying<br>Anglo-Saxonian ethnos. In his view, this state can exist only by the<br>exploitation of foreign mental, biological, and energy resources. Gumilev<br>links the French and American states to Jews, with the explicit statement<br>that both of their intellectual and spiritual foundations come from the Old<br>Testament.<br>In the same way, the state of Israel was established by people of Jewish<br>origin who were moved not by their own energy, but by the energy<br>reflecting the passionary potential of the Slavic Belarusians and Poles. To<br>support this proposition he cites the fact that the majority of founding<br>Israeli leaders originated from the western regions of the Russian Empire,<br>like for instance, Moshe Dayan and Golda Meir. They had absorbed the<br>energy of indigenous peoples (in reality, Moshe Dayan was born in Israel<br>and had never spent much time in the USSR, except for a few state visits;<br>Golda Meir left the Russian Empire at the age of six).<br>All this leads up to Gumilev's analysis of Russian history from the<br>perspective of the interplay between indigenous and parasite ethni.<br>He begins with an extensive description of another one of his chimera<br>states, the so-called Khazar Khanate established by hypothetical Jewish<br>emigrants from the Byzantine Empire in the ninth century. He says it was<br>a horrible, corrupt entity that oppressed its neighbors. The source<br>materials for Gumilev's view of the Khazar Khanate are not clear.<br>Gumilev and his followers use the example of the Khazar Khanate as a<br>model for analyzing the history of the Soviet Union. <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>According to<br>Gumilev, the Soviet Union was created by Jewish revolutionaries. Lenin<br>and Stalin bastardized the Russian people, turning them into Communist<br>Untermenschen (sovok).</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> They interrupted the harmonious development of<br>Russian-Eurasian civilization by experimenting with Western<br><br>internationalist ideas; they created the corrupt Communist party and the<br>monstrous party police, the KGB, to protect the Party's interests.<br>The Communists lost the Cold War, which led to a historical defeat for<br>Russia and to the disintegration of the thousand-year-old statehood. Their<br>foreign policy was wrong because it was based not on Russian geopolitical<br>advantages, but on Western internationalist concepts. Preoccupied with<br>the world revolution and class solidarity, the Communists challenged the<br>United States all over the world, supporting "tropical socialism" and<br>phantom Western Communist parties. They wasted resources and talent to<br>create a cumbersome and obsolete army and a gigantic oceanic fleet,<br>ignoring the fact that Russia is a continental power and has its mineral<br>resources at home.<br>Eurasians see a possible salvation from the wreckage of communism: a<br>reinvigoration of the gene pool of Great Russians by the artificial selection<br>of a new elite and by emancipation from stranger ethni mistakenly<br>included by tsars and commissars into the composition of the Russian<br>Empire. Among these are the peoples of Central Asia, who do not share<br>the Great Russian cultural-religious heritage; and the peoples of the Baltic<br>states, who belong to an alien super-ethnos. Importantly, the new<br>Eurasians place the awakening of their passionary energy and the creation<br>of a new ethnos above the preservation of an empire. This point of view<br>sheds new light on the hectic disbanding of the Soviet Union last<br>December. The prominent philosopher Alexander Tsypko wrote:<br>In a broad sense, in the Ukraine the second Russian state is now being<br>created. To take it seriously, Yeltsin's historical merit lies in the fact<br>that his struggle with Gorbachev and the center has encouraged the<br>dynamics and pluralism of the Russian Slavic statehood. The new<br>stimuli for the continuation of Russian history have been generated,<br>including the idea of the re-creation of the Belarusian and Ukrainian<br>states. The passion of Great Russians to start new history was<br>expressed in the best way by the essay of Alexander Solzhenitsyn. He<br>spoke in essence not about the right of nations for self-determination,<br>but how to push Asian nations out of Russia immediately and forcibly.<br>Thus, following the theoreticians of the Nazi Reich, Lev Gumilev gave<br>a biological explanation to human history and its two main "evils":<br>communism and capitalism. In contrast to primitive racist theory,<br>Gumilev has introduced a more universal genetic-spiritual factor. In<br>Gumilev's interpretation, <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>the Bolsheviks were either genetically or<br><br>spiritually Jewish</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> and had intentionally undermined the genetic pool of the<br>Great Russian ethnos by eliminating the Russian aristocracy, intelligentsia,<br>peasantry, entrepreneurs and officer corps. Regardless of their actual<br>nationality, Lenin and Stalin were driven by a Marxist philosophy alien to<br>the Russian historical-religious tradition, according to Gumilev and his<br>school. And where did that Marxist ideology come from? Their answer<br>is: from the Old Testament. In this view, the significant fact is that Karl<br>Marx had Jewish ancestry, regardless that he was a baptized Christian.<br>They state that Marx was unable to escape from his genetic code.<br>One of the most prominent advocates of the view that bolshevism had a<br>non-Russian origin is the philosopher Alexander Tsypko. In a highly<br>publicized essay that was published in 1989, Tsypko stressed the Marxist<br>origin of bolshevism and the closeness of Vladimir Lenin's "national<br>psyche" to that of Karl Marx's. "Lenin as a personality was very similar to<br>his teacher, Marx," he wrote. Tsypko took pains to rebut Leon Trotsky,<br>who in contrast to himself was personally familiar with Lenin (in a section<br>damaging to Tsypko's argument however, Trotsky called Lenin a "typical<br>Russian representative of Marxism"<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> .<br>Gumilev, Tsypko and others who are searching for the Judaic origins of<br>Marxism have their predecessors in the Third Reich.<br>One such<br>predecessor is the Nazi poet Dietrich Eckart (part of Thule societ and first to use the term "Third Reich"<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> , one of Hitler's spiritual<br>teachers, who in 1924 wrote a book called Der Bolshevismus von Moses<br>bis Lenin.

More significant than the<br>Nazis, perhaps, is the overlap between Tsypko's views and those of the<br>CPSU Central Committee International Department. After the publication<br>of his anti-Marxist-Leninist essay, which was a milestone in the semi-<br>official anti-Bolshevik campaign, Tsypko was promoted from the position<br>of deputy director of the Institute of World Socialist Systems, to a<br>consultant of the International Department.

A lot of it is a matter of elitism

Postby starroute » Mon Nov 07, 2005 12:54 am

I feel a mini-essay coming on. I don't know whether this is really the place for it, but I don't seem to have much choice in the matter. It's going to come out willy-nilly.<br><br>Let's start with a really basic question: Why is the occult "hidden"? Why is the esoteric "inner"? <br><br>In primitive societies, there is no division between inner and outer knowledge. The shamans may have their special abilities, the secret societies may have their tabooed magical objects and rituals -- but there isn't a division into public knowledge vs. private knowledge the way there is later on. Everybody in the tribe participates to some degree in what we would call occult practices.<br><br>The distinction arose, I believe, along with civilization. Suddenly, only the kings and high priests had access to inner knowledge. The charisma they gained from this was a primary source of their control over the population at large. As city-states developed, instead of the temples getting larger, they got smaller. Only a select few got to go into the inner sanctum and enact the rituals. Everybody else was expected to stand outside in the courtyard, watching or waiting.<br><br>By the time of Greece and Rome, the dividing-line had shifted slightly. Now it was the educated elite that had access to the inner truth of things, while the masses blindly followed superstitious rituals. The masses continued to worship the old pagan gods, while the elite prided themselves on understanding the philosophical abstractions behind the gods.<br><br>Christianity seems to have began as an attempt to democratize higher knowledge -- but if so, it didn't last long. Pretty soon, it got turned into one more means of keeping the masses content with blind faith while only a small educated elite enjoyed access to the truths behind the metaphors. And after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, no one at all was left in Western Europe who understood the inner mysteries, except for the occasional wild-eyed Irishman like John Scotus Eriugena.<br><br>Slowly, slowly, Western Europe reacquired occult knowledge -- partly from the Arabs, partly from the Byzantine Empire (especially after the fall of Constantinople sent some of it west, igniting the Italian Renaissance), and to a small extent from Eastern Europe, particularly in the early 1800's. But even as Europe reawakened to the old mysteries, it maintained the traditional elite distinctions. This knowledge was only for those who could be trusted with it -- and was to be kept at all costs out of the hands of the hoi polloi.<br><br>In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, occultism remained associated with the elite -- aristocrats, the nouveau riche, certain intellectuals. The masses fell increasingly into fundamentalism -- blind adherence to the external forms of the old exoteric myths, without even a hint of true inner content. A third alternative was Marxism, a purely materialistic dogma that gained its power by denying the authenticity of the old, hidden knowledge entirely. <br><br>As the 20th century proceeded and the balance of power seemed to be shifting from the elite to the masses, fascism arose as a new means of control -- one that reasserted elite privilege while attempting to regain the allegiance of the masses by allowing them access to some fragment of the occult belief-systems of the elite.<br><br>But there was also a genuine alternative, distinct from both Marxism and fascism -- and that was the quintessentially American attitude that all knowledge was acccessible to anyone who approached the universe with the right questions. This can be seen very clearly in science fiction and fantasy. In the 20's and 30's, European fantasists and a few Americans were writing nostalgic fantasies about the glories of the old aristocratic system and the horrors of modern technological civilization. But at the same time, an increasing number of American pulp science fiction writers were cheerfully blasting off into the galaxy and asserting that there wasn't anything they didn't have the right to poke their noses into.<br><br>That science-fictional attitude carries over directly into what might be called populist occultism of the 1960's and later. Large chunks of neo-paganism, in particular, owe far more to John W. Campbell's editorials in Astounding Science Fiction than they do to any sort of traditional occultism. (This is why neo-pagans and computer hackers, whose intellectual roots also trace back to Campbell editorials, have such an affinity.)<br><br>However, the old-style elite occultists of the 1930's had never quite gone away, and they -- or their next-generation heirs -- started trying to coopt populist occultism in the 1970's. That, I believe, is where the New Age stuff came along. There was no apparent New Agery in the hot, hippie myticism of the 1960's. It only crept in along the way, and primarily through the agency of older, more "respectable" writers and intellectuals.<br><br>Now, the old elite occultists had never been of a single party. Those of a more authoritarian mindset had tended to be outright fascists -- but they generally were compelled to lie very low for a couple of decades after World War II. Others were of a more tolerant, internationalist, humanitarian flavor -- and it's becoming clear that many of them became involved with the United Nations or related institutions during that same period of c. 1945-65. That's the line that tends to be identified explicitly as "New Age." They're somewhat more tolerable than the fascists -- but only somewhat. They're still elitists and they still think they have the right to run your life for you.<br><br>Overt fascists have continued in somewhat bad repute, at least in the US, and don't get around in public much. However, it's possible that a certain number of them may have been camouflaging themselves as New Agers -- which could account for some of the confusion that's apparent in this thread. My real fear is that the coming fall of the Bush regime may lead to a general disillusionment with liberal democracy, which would provide exactly the climate needed for unrepentant fascism to re-emerge. It's something to watch out for. <br> <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=starroute>starroute</A> at: 11/6/05 9:54 pm<br></i>

Here's something interesting on Dugin

Postby starroute » Mon Nov 07, 2005 1:04 am

I don't know anything about this site or author -- except that he seems to be associated with the National Bolsheviks himself -- but this bit on Dugin struck me as worth quoting.<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://exile.ru/ames/ames42.html">exile.ru/ames/ames42.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>Of all the bogeymen in Russia that the West has created, none has earned as many scary-fascist-points as Alexander Dugin, the former ideological guru for Edward Limonov's National-Bolshevik Party. Dugin is the Dr. Evil that Western academics dreamed of. In him, they finally found a bogeyman who wasn't the typical NAMBLA pervert in a Darth Vadar getup like RNU leader Barshakov, a cheap drama school villain far too easy to dismiss even by Beigeist American academic standards. But Dugin was a different story. He could make a professor or grad student who cites Dugin actually appear to be both morally brave and intelligent. Dugin's dense, allusive prose, mixed with carefully-"hidden" shock-value stances on violence and race, made him the West's choice as the "conscience" of Russian neo-fascism. . . .<br><br>There is no doubt that Dugin is remarkably intelligent. He speaks nine languages. He can spontaneously lecture for hours, weaving revolutionary and post-modern philosophy with mysticism, history and logic in a way that can be almost hypnotizing. His eloquence is the sole reason that he is the subject of endless "The Threat of Russia's Right" articles in the West. Look his name up on the web: you'll see him not just in English, but German, French, Swedish, and so on.<br><br>There's only one problem. Their biggest bogeyman just came out of the closet last week and admitted that he's a neo-liberal convert, putting him on the same team as, say, Carnegie Foundation talking head Michael McFaul. Dugin announced both in a Soros forum in Budapest and a subsequent lecture in Moscow last week that he rejects revolution, violence, or anything of the sort. Most shocking of all, he accepts the neo-liberal model as espoused by Francis Fukayama in his notorious Beigeist manifesto, "The End of History." . . .<br><br>When Limonov first told me that Dugin had turned coat, I could barely believe it. So I double-checked it with Maxim Balutenka, an analyst for Panorama, which is perhaps Russia's leading think tank in terms of documenting fascism and extremism in modern Russia.<br><br>"It's true, Dugin did say those things," Balutenka told me.<br><br>Why? What led Dugin to do it?<br><br>"You have to understand, Dugin's just role-playing," he went on. "He does it all for his Western audience, and now he's looking to expand that audience. Already in this week's issue of Litsa, he's going back in another direction. It's all a role to keep Westerners guessing and interpreting him, that's all."<br><br>You mean he's not the big scary fascist threat to Russia that Western academics make him out to be?<br><br>"Not at all. His audience in Russia is extremely small. It always has been. His only real audience is in the West. He's taken much more seriously there."<br><br>Why?<br><br>"Because he's the kind of villain that Westerners were looking for all along."<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--> <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=starroute>starroute</A> at: 11/6/05 10:05 pm<br></i>

Re: Here's something interesting on Dugin

very interesting observations, starroute. The second post first.<br><br>Limonov wrote for eXile for awhile. But you can't really understand that magazine without seeing it...(not that I claim to understand it). Notice the "Deathporn" section, for example...but careful, it's gruesome. (you may not have checked out the main site if Google linked you directly to the article. It is very, very odd and, really, disturbing. Lots of true-crime accounts etc.<br><br>Limonov and Dugin were in NBP together. I didn't get into this quote about "roleplaying" but I've seen this article. And it may be quite true. In fact, it had occurred to me that both of these guys are "roleplaying" at the behest of intel agencies or some other more powerful force. <br><br>Interestingly, when Limonov was jailed for alleged terrorist activities (he bought some guns or something, the literary intelligentsia of both the far right AND far left in France called for his release.<br><br>Much of this gets back to the other article I posted (I now see it's from "radio free Europe" and so I surely must wonder what perspective it is pushing but leave off that for now). It talks of the "third way" (sometimes "third position" that rejects communism and capitalism. It's basically "leftwing" fascism...though I have a feeling that if in power, the concern for the workers would diminish rapidly. <br><br>The point is that the whole agenda is to bring the left and right together...and so Limonov and Dugin may literally be "playacting" here. <br><br>As for the rest of your analysis...really interesting. I would ask you this: do you see the Trilateralists at work here as I do? (by trilateralists, I literally mean those megarich who get together and try to keep the world running in a way that protects their wealth...not a plot to initiate satan's reign on earth.). Because Maurice strong was with Rockefeller on the starting of the TC and also got heavy into New Age projects. In other words, I guess I'm suggesting that even the "good guys" (or lesser evil guys) in New Age thought are not, in fact, sincere (not at the top, anyway) but are deliberately putting out an ideology that supports this larger agenda.<br><br>Interestingly, on a secular level, that same split is replicated by the Dugin/Limonov split or the National Bolsheviks vs. the Eurasianists. They want pretty much the same thing (less globalism, perhaps. I THINK that their view is that Eurasia has plenty of resources to be fully self sufficient, so less imperialism needed.).<br><br>Now, let's go a step further. How 'bout dem alien abductions. Dr. John mack started finding out that many of these feature warnings of an ecological collapse coming soon and had even been accused of developing a new "ecological" religion. Who funded his work? Laurence (I said David earlier) Rockefeller. So, now aliens with world doom messages are part of the Rockefeller formula. Here's part of an article about Laurence Rockefeller's sponsorhip of this kind of stuff. For added ironic pleasure, it's from new Dawn. The end of the article wants to suggest this is all to PREPARE us for the alien landings...it's the only theory offered. I have another one, of course. It's yet ANOTHER avenue of softening us up to whatever the hell they have planned:<br><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>Rockybucks All Around<br><br>Laurence Rockefeller has been splashing out substantial sums of money (aka 'Rockybucks') to prominent UFO/alien researchers and fringe research foundations.<br><br>He has channelled (pardon the pun) money into Dr. John Mack, the Harvard psychiatrist famous for his book on so-called 'alien abductions'. Laurence is alleged, based on well substantiated rumours and published information, to have also made a contribution of prestige and perhaps money to help Dr. Mack resist efforts at Harvard to censure him for his 'alien abduction' beliefs.<br><br>At a meeting of the Rhode Island Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), Mack likened the abductee experience to that of an endangered animal being hunted and temporarily debilitated in order to be moved to a safe place. The animal does not know that it is being "hurt" for its own good, for the survival of its species.<br><br>Mack believes the 'greys' (aliens) are trying to tell us in a cryptic way - through the abduction experience - our species is in danger. In order to save us from extinction, they are playing God by doing some evolutionary tinkering with our DNA.<br><br>Greens and Greys<br><br>"... intelligences of the highest power are absolutely appalled that this one species is so out of control, so insensitive to the living ecosystem of the earth..."<br>- Dr. John Mack, Harvard Psychiatrist<br><br>Mack also managed to link ufology and ecology - another of Laurence's longtime causes, which is quite a paradox considering it's no big secret Nelson Rockefeller - a dynasty patriarch - singlehandedly destroyed the Amazon! Then again, times change and so do strategies if you want to stay ahead of the rest. (Even if Laurence was on a guilt trip for past family excesses - and it is customary for the megarich to make token endowments to "liberal" social causes - his current endowments are rather strange.)<br><br>Mack's bridge between UFOs and ecology is evident in a recent book of articles compiled by the Sierra Club. Entitled Ecopsychology, Mack asks: "How do we invent a new psychology of our relationship to the earth?"<br><br>Critics accuse Mack of founding a new religion in the "green politics" of the aliens. His response that he "cannot help it if this is the communication coming through," digests well with Laurence who concurs with the aliens that we must immediately stop destroying our precious earth. Mack states "it's not as if there's no truth to the warning" adding that this message comes through to people who are "not environmentally sophisticated."<br><br>Still on the ecology front, Laurence Rockefeller also funds the Green Earth Foundation headed by Terence McKenna. McKenna scouts the globe collecting psychoactive plants, which he is permitted to cultivate in Hawaii. One of McKenna's theories is that psychoactive substances used by native cultures in religious ceremonies induce telepathic links with alien cultures. He believes the patriarchal "dominator" cultures of the past few thousand years have failed us and the earth, and calls for an "archaic revival", which requires a return to humanity's last "sane" moment 15,000 years ago on the plains of Africa "rocked in the cradle of the great horned mushroom goddess."<br><br>Another of Rockefeller's UFO-related activities is his close cooperation with the low-profile BSW Foundation, headed by wealthy New Yorkers Sandra Wright Houghton and Bootsy Galbraith. They, too, both embrace the view shared by Rockefeller that the earth is being visited primarily by benevolent ETs who pose no threat to the established order.<br><br>Human Potential Foundation<br><br>The Human Potential Foundation (HPF), founded by U.S. Senator Claiborne Pell and based in Falls Church, Virginia, is another project funded primarily by Laurence Rockefeller.<br><br>According to Dick Farley, who worked for the organisation for about three years, Rockefeller's interest in HPF seemed to be the promotion of "alternative religious and psychiatric/psychological paradigms, including so-called 'UFOs' and 'abductions,' having 'Global Mind Change' potentials. Rockefeller put more than $700,000 through the 'HPF' from 1991 to 1994, as Common Cause Magazine recently reported."<br><br>The President of HPF, 'retired' naval intelligence officer Cdr. C.B. "Scott" Jones, Ph.D., was a contractual consultant to the Defense Nuclear Agency (1981-1985) before next working for Senator Pell as Special Assistant (1985-1991), ostensibly looking after Pell's "paranormal" interests (Jones is also listed in John Mack's book alongside Laurence Rockefeller).<br><br>The Human Potential Foundation stages conferences like last year's gathering of luminaries that included author and investigative reporter Ruth Montgomery, UFO author and psychologist Leo Sprinkle, transpersonal and para-psychologist Charles Tart, native American historian Paula Underwood, environmental activist Don Ware, futurist John Petersen, orientalist and author Zecharia Sitchin, psychiatrist and author John Mack, clinical researcher Richard Boylan, editor of Omni Magazine Keith Ferrell, founder of CONTACT James Funaro, Director of United Nations University Jerome Glenn, and others.<br><br>Entitled "When Cosmic Cultures Meet," the conference dealt with a range of interesting subject matter. Joan d'Arc of Newspeak, who attended the conference, said the problem she found with "the 'Have-You-Hugged-Your-Gray-Today' school generally prevailing at the HPF conference is nobody was saying perhaps ETs and abduction experiences are very bad news."<br><br>And whose job will it be to make official contact with our space helpers? Joan was handed a questionnaire at the HPF conference that asked attendees to place in order of importance which government/military bodies should be given the job. No doubt the chosen body will also announce the arrival of our space brothers. They are apparently a little shy when it comes to human interaction, choosing instead to 'abduct' and study us on an individual basis.<br><br>All Laurence's pet projects contain a familiar theme: Aliens are here to help us, perhaps aid us along the evolutionary ladder.<br><br>Is it a case of he who pays the piper calls the tune?<br><br><hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://newdawnmagazine.com/Articles/Shades%20of%20an%20Alien%20Conspiracy.html">newdawnmagazine.com/Artic...iracy.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>We could do many posts (surely Jeff has) on the Human Potential Foundation.
