Report from Iron Mountain and JK Galbraith

[compared2what?]

I gather from this that Dr. Herschel McLandress is a character in a story written by Galbraith under the pen name of Mark Epernay....
the Villa Cerbolloni seems to exist tho, it's spelled with an S nowadays

The Rockefeller Foundation has owned it since 1959, evidently. A Principesa left it to Dean Rusk.

Details here.

the Principesa (Ella Holbrook Walker) bought it with her inherited whiskey money. Her grandfather: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiram_Walker

And what laughs they all must have had at dinner, huh?

Those assholes. I can't say I really wish for the people without 1967-literati decoder rings whom they ought to have known would continue to read it to rise up and slaughter their descendants. But figuratively, I kind of do.

Not Galbraith, so much. I'd kind of expect him to know nothing about anything that didn't concern him. Plus, you know. He did do other stuff. The publishing guys, though. Assholes. Per my hypothesis, which is based solely on my opinion. I should add.

[JackRiddler]

Your opinion, of course, but I think you've pretty well seen through it.

[justdrew]

there was then a number of these types of documents put out. I guess it's an old game really, going way way back. but didn't the gemstone file come out a few years later? Is that the one that was supposedly found by some guy who bought a surplus copier?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemstone_File

ok, no. odd that that FactSheetFive guy is involved with promulgation of the Gemstone File in some way.

but anyone know what I might be dimly recollecting regarding the supposed finding of secret documents in a surplus copier?

[semper occultus]

that was Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars

Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars, An Introduction Programming Manual was uncovered quite by accident on July 7, 1986 when an employee of Boeing Aircraft Co. purchased a surplus IBM copier for scrap parts at a sale, and discovered inside details of a plan, hatched in the embryonic days of the "Cold War" which called for control of the masses through manipulation of industry, peoples' pastimes, education and political leanings.

ah yes. that's it!


so these documents constitute somewhat the core cannon of conspiracy codices I guess?

all are probably no more real than the protocols?

[Wombaticus Rex]

Yes indeedy, although the real story of SWFQW is considerably more interesting than the document itself. The editor of Paranoia actually got in touch with the author, who was in Federal prison. I thought the economic model outlined in that paper was exceptionally interesting. His name was Hartford van Dyke.

SWFQW is a politically biased technical instruction manual on how to justify, how to selectively survive, human animal husbandry before the need for animal husbandry becomes unstably critical.

...

In the winter of 1974, I was going through some math books while researching a math problem (I think a problem on cubic equations), when I referred to my old college textbook College Algebra, by Lyman M. Kells of the US Naval Academy (1956 or 1958). I came across the footnote in that book and noticed that they exactly corresponded to the ideas in Report from Iron Mountain. I had discovered the mathematical methodology of the Silent Weapons System, and I had the key to finding more information on the subject. I located Studies in the Structure of the American Economy at the Multnomah County library in Portland, Oregon...

SWFQW is a collage, an overlay and paste-up of the works and words of many authors. I was the author only in the sense that I compiled and linked the gems of other writers. The book is not a hoax. Wassily W. Leontief proved the content of SWFQW by his article in the September 1980 issue of Scientific American, entitled "the world Economy in the Year 2000." Leontief was the father of the Silent Weapons System, and was awarded the 1973 Nobel Prize in Economics long after his creation (1948) became recognized by the elite to be a weapon (1965).

But, that core canon: shadows and fog but mostly horseshit.

Which is so sad. Formulating a better canon is something RI has attempted before, to great effect, I might add. The focus of that thread was books, and it would be quite interesting to work on a canon of actual source documents.

My initial suggestion would be the CIA - DOJ memorandum of understanding, a perfect example of how problematic actual research is in this field, since we've still only got secondary documents.

I seem to recall an actual published book that was almost entirely these kind of "smoking gun" FOIA gems -- can anyone recall what that particular white whale's name was?

One difference is that between admitted satire as opposed to legends or deliberate lies that some still insist are true.

Otherwise, I think, insofar as presumed or proven fictions purporting to be based in reality are also intended as didactic works, they should be judged by a) the degree to which they illuminate or obscure realities of society and politics, and/or b) by the validity and moral force of their respective agendas.

While both Huckleberry Finn and a Horatio Alger novel are fictional and neither work pretends otherwise, which is more "real"?

Speaking of The Protocols of Zion, there's some other weird ones out there to look at as well - such as "The Permanent Instruction of the Alta Vendita"

I was surprised to find that Jesse Ventura's "63 Documents the Government Doesn't Want You to Read" is actually pretty good, purely because it reproduces or transcribes the original documents.

Russ Kick's defunct Memory Hole website has a lot of good stuff, preserved here:

[Wombaticus Rex]

Gosh, I had never heard of the Alta Vendita, and considering my Grandma was an IRA / Fatima Catholic, you'd think that would have come up. She's even told me about the Black Pope and advised me to avoid Jesuits, which turned out to be terrible advice because they've all been good, interesting company so far. Great chess players, too.

Cpt. Marginal, good to see you, surprised you haven't been promoted yet after all your hard work in the trenches. And yea, verily, I do believe it was the Ventura volume I was thinking of, got it remaindered at B&N for $3.98 many, many moons ago.

[cptmarginal]

I just prefer to keep rank with Captain Howdy, Captain Morgan, Captain Obvious, Captain Planet, Captain Kangaroo & Captain Sensible. Good to see everyone here as well, I've been infrequently lurking lately and actually really enjoying a lot of posts.



But anyways, this thread has been very interesting. I totally forgot about Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars, and never knew the background on it either.

Anyone ever see the "Opal File" AKA the New Zealand Gemstone File? It's featured in most of the Gemstone books:

http://www.netti.fi/~makako/mind/opal.txt

The Opal File
A secret history of Australia and New Zealand
Author unknown

This is is quite long, approx 56K and contains some very amazing
information, such as Swiss Account Numbers of high profile people on Mafia
Payrolls. You may be surprised at some of the names mentioned here.

It also contains references to CIA operations to place subliminal TV
broadcasts throughout Australia and NZ, and other countries.

Reminds me of something that would be cooked up by one of the guys from Dreyfus/Assange's "Underground" book about the Australian hacking scene.

While many of these details seam true, Sodium Morphate doesn't actually exist does it?

It's on the periodic table next to dilithium crystals, innit?

Only on Earth Two, though.

The Occult Technology of Power
The initiation of the son of a finance capitalist into the arcane secrets of economic and political power
by "The Transcriber"

1974, Alpine Enterprises, 52 pages

]The Occult Technology of Power (OTP) is one of those sleeper-cell books, a book ahead of its time, more-or-less self-published by a disillusioned early Libertarian/libertarian activist. The author/publisher and I, with a handful of other young (it turns out naive) idealists, cofounded the Libertarian Party of Michigan... I believe it was 1971, '72 at the latest.

I say sleeper-cell because most in our milieu of those days were asleep when it came to understanding who actually stood behind the curtain of the Leviathan State. It didn't matter; we were going to crush the little commie pukes no matter what... and in record time. When OTP was issued, I think it meant something to about three really radical left-wing, hippie libertarians[1] living in a rundown flat somewhere in Long Beach, CA.

The movement I had entered was mainly of the right, initially Barry Goldwater libertarian-conservatism then leading through Ayn Rand rational-egoist individualism. We saw leftists as our supreme enemy, representing in extremis the Communist collectivist dictatorships of the time. By virtue of our own ideological alignment with private property and free enterprise we were largely oblivious to corporate-state corruption. Corporations were good guys in white hats, not evil beneficiaries of bonecrushing government franchise.

As arguments and protests emerged during the (60s and 70s) antiwar movement against the military-industrial complex and the ruling class, I admit to shamefully siding with what actually composed the police/corporate-state I so loathed. Indeed, only relatively recently I understand how that state and its corporate and banking Mob have established frightening domination over the individual.

This little book, OTP, is probably the most succinct statement of who "they" are. Who rules, who pulls the strings, who picks the winners, who precipitates the wars, who commits the treachery... most important, who steals the wealth?!! The Transcriber locates the dead center of maximum political-economic sleaze in America and the world and delivers a smartbomb on target.

You read this book you understand the contrived conflict between right and left. You will know whose purposes it serves to have defenders of liberty hate those who question concentrations of power. As we fight among ourselves on higher-level issues—immigration, wars, terrorism, education, taxes, etc.—we leave the fundamental premise of state coercion intact... and make no mistake, the state we're talking about is the Cartel with a capital C.

You see the role of the government schools:

A general state education is a mere contrivance for molding the people to be exactly like one another; and as the mold in which it casts them is that which pleases the predominant power in the government—whether this be a monarch, a priesthood, an aristocracy, or the majority of the existing generation—in proportion as it is efficient and successful, it establishes a despotism over the mind, leading by natural tendency to one over the body.—John Stuart Mill

You see the role of the central bank and taxes:

As early as ancient Babylon and India, central banking, the art of monopolizing the issuance of money, had been developed into a perfect method for looting the general public. Even today many bankers copy the traditions of the earlier exploitative priesthoods and design their banks to resemble temples! Defenses of central banking are simply part of the deception that lies at the heart of all power elites.—page 17

The book conveys the instruction of a man in full, under auspices of his father, the leader of the Dynasty. (Speculation is the father-son pair is patterned after John D. Rockefeller, Jr. and David Rockefeller. Considering the Rockefeller family through banking, business, foundations, and other holdings controls trillions of dollars in human wealth, the pattern is apt.)

The father introduces his soon-to-be Supreme Financial Politician (finpol) successor to the mysteries of how the Dynasty—by the way, the Rockefeller dynasty is the predominant component in what I typically call the Cartel, or sometimes the Beast or the Empire—exercises its nearly complete control of society.

It's a quick read, showing astonishing and timely insight into the Big Universal Problem (BUP) that ails us. I wish the Transcriber had covered the income tax a bit more thoroughly and that he would have elaborated on the controlled-media propaganda machinery. Quibbles.

This is a book that demands to be resurrected and handed out to your friends and acquaintances in all walks of life. We've reached a point where increasing numbers of real people intuitively realize what's going on; OTP will cement that knowledge.

Interestingly, the Ron Paul Nation phenomenon is a direct result of people being "mad as hell and not about to take it any more." Dr. Paul is a strong advocate of schools freed from state compulsion and a firm opponent of the Federal Reserve System and its corollary interest-earning tool, the income tax. It is not difficult to see why the Cartel politicians and media are excreting Frisbees for fear the RP message may catch on: they'll all wind up in the dustbin of history along with Divine Kings.

[1] The prototype of libertarians receptive to the ruling-class-expose OTP message was Samuel Edward Konkin III (1947-2004), author of the New Libertarian Manifesto (1983) and founder of the Agorist Institute and the Movement of the Libertarian Left.

^^Thanks for this -- someone on RI, perhaps you, perhaps not, used to have, as their signature, a powerful quote from a similar document about how encouraging social discord was the path to profit -- if that rings bells for anyone, I'd love to know the source.
