Illuminati and New World Order

[Speck Tater]

Just one question.

Is this "New World Order" thing really such a bad idea? Isn't that what we all secretly wish for? Mankind united, working together harmoniously for the benefit of all? So the guys at the top get the lion's share of the profit. So what? They always have and always will anyway. If that's what they need to make them happy, let them have it. My needs are much more modest. A roof over my head. Enough food to eat. Some decent movies to watch and a few good books to read. They can have the yachts and palaces and all the maintenance headaches that go with them.

So does the Illuminati have membership drives? Do I get a free toaster if I sign up? Can I learn the secret handshake and get a decoder ring? If so, count me in. ;-)

Seriously, would be it any different than what we have right now? The corporation you work for has all the power and most of the money, and they give you only what you need to get by. But I'm OK with that. People we don't know are pulling all the strings already and there's not a thing we can do about it. We are already powerless. So what? Deal with it. Get over it. Celebrate your powerlessness, because with it comes the kind of peace of mind the powerful will never know.

Who knows, it might even be a lot better than what we have right now. If some secret organization could actually pull off ruling the world that feat in itself would prove that they know what they are doing. Face it, our current crop of policiticans could never be accused of knowing what they are doing! I say go New World Order! ;-)

Thoughts?

1. I'm with you.

The Jewish banker alien blood-sucking lizards anti-christs aren't bad people. I'd happily serve under them, and nothing David Ickes can say will convince me otherwise.

2. That's the spirit!

Of course the whole alien lizard-people thing is just disinformation to make the whole conspiracy idea seem too rdiciulous to believe.

3. In 1982 I was reading a Newsweek magazine in --

-- a small fishing village in the Upper Great Lakes.

A man came up to me, interrupted my reading, and told me that Newsweek was owned by So and So, and was thus a tool of the Trilateral Commission.

He was a true believer that a dark-notioned cabal of very powerful men ruled the world.

I expressed doubt. He got angry. Very angry.

He walked back across the street to his car and drove away wildly.

A strange moment.

4. That's one of those moments...

...when I wish I could just whip out an official-looking Illuminati menbership card to flash in his face. hehe. I'm bad. So bad. ;-)

5. Yes. It would have been the perfect time.

The guy was not putting me on -- he was serious -- so I really was at a loss.

Next time, I'll take your suggestion and use the "official card."
