At the present time there is a veritable frenzy of publishing books purporting to reveal the "Greatest Secrets" of all time. A number of these books have to do with alchemy and devote sections to the semi-legendary alchemist Fulcanelli, speculating at great length about what Fulcanelli did or did not mean, or who he may have really been. All of them seem to have a similar, general trend, which is to support a certain "derivation" of the mysteries in terms of Egyptian secrets, technology, and religion. This trend is the subject of the book by Lynn Pincknett and Clive Prince,
The Stargate Conspiracy, which is a useful overview for the novice in terms of achieving a basic understanding of the fact that there is, indeed, something very mysterious going on all over the planet in terms of shaping the thinking of humanity via books, movies, and cultural themes.
Picknett and Prince suggest that the central theme of the conspiracy is the "manipulation of beliefs about the origins and history of human civilisation, in particular of beliefs about the existence of an advanced civilisation in the ancient past and its influence on the earliest known historical civilisations, primarily that of Egypt."[1] What Picknett and Prince fail to note is that
the beliefs about the origins and history of human civilization have been manipulated for millennia to keep humanity in the dark. Anyone who doubts that this is often done quite consciously and deliberately ought to have a look at a few remarks of Cornelius Tacitus about the Roman Raj in Britain:
Tacitus said:
The following winter was spent on schemes of the most salutary kind. To induce a people, hitherto scattered, uncivilized and therefore prone to fight, to grow pleasurably inured to peace and ease, Agricola gave private encouragement-and official assistance to the building of temples, public squares and private mansions. He praised the keen and scolded the slack, and competition to gain honor from him was as effective as compulsion. Furthermore, he trained the sons of the chiefs in the liberal arts and expressed a preference for British natural ability over the trained skill of the Gauls. The result was that in place of distaste for the Latin language came a passion to command it. In the same way, our national dress came into favor and the toga was everywhere to be seen. And so the Britons were gradually led on to the amenities that make vice agreeable - arcades, baths and sumptuous banquets. They spoke of such novelties as 'civilization', when really they were only a feature of enslavement.[2]
If anyone cares to suggest that this sort of manipulation has not continued down to the present day, I suggest an in-depth examination of some of these periods of history wherein great "advances" manifested, including the personal writings of the individuals involved, as we will be doing further along in this volume. It is quite a revelation to discover that a great "idea" has been imposed upon us simply because the alternative view, which had more supporting evidence, was not believed by the "authority" due to religious prejudices.
What is taking place at our present moment in history is what is known in popular intelligence parlance as "damage control," a vast COINTELPRO operation against the revelation of Truth in its proper context. In place after place, in all fields of scientific study, discoveries are being made that contradict what we have been taught to believe about our world, our history and origins. And it seems that at the present, a very powerful and concerted effort is being made to divert these discoveries into a framework that will continue to serve the agenda of the Control System Matrix.
Picknett and Prince rightly notice that the "alternative history" that is being proposed by the current spate of books, gurus, New Age mass market workshops and symposia, utilizes ideas and concepts born in the "occult world." Unfortunately, they fail to distinguish the fact that what is "occulted" comes in two flavors: truth and just more and trickier lies.
In the past several years we have indeed been deluged with a tidal wave of books about ancient mysteries that have enthralled the world. The most widely promulgated of these books are by authors such as Henry Lincoln, Graham Hancock, Robert Bauval, and John Anthony West, Robert Temple, Laurence Gardiner, and a supporting cast too numerous to mention. Picknett and Prince astutely note that
such writers may not be conscious participants in the Damage Control system, but that they are most definitely being provided with the grist for mills of a massive cover-up operation - a shell-game of reality with moves so dexterous that unless the reader understands from the beginning that the hand is, indeed, quicker than the eye, they will be lulled by the obvious truths so that at the point the lie is introduced, they will swallow it at once without noticing that it is a lie. And make no mistake about it: these lies are intended to be a deadly poison, slow acting, but 100 percent lethal, as we will discover by the time we reach the end of this survey.
We would like to note here that
Picknett and Prince, with their powerful reaction against anything that threatens the status quo belief system, may be similarly unconsciously manipulated. Whether or not that is the case remains to be seen, but Picknett and Prince do seem to have pushed far enough into the mystery to have revealed one of the chief pegs upon which the Cover- up is suspended: the work of Rene Schwaller de Lubicz.
Most of the current "Alternative Egyptology" is based on the works of RSL as discovered and promoted by John Anthony West. R.A. Schwaller de Lubicz (1887-1961), was an occult philosopher who, in the 1940s and 50s, wrote several books in French about the religion of ancient Egypt. RSL believed that the Sphinx was attributable to Atlanteans and that it predated the known ancient Egyptian civilization by many thousands of years. He made the observation that the erosion on the Sphinx's body and the walls of the enclosure appears to be the result of exposure to water, rather than wind-blown sand, and argued that it had been caused by a great flood - the flood that destroyed Atlantis - the mythical Flood of Noah.
There is much evidence that strongly suggests that the more ancient date of the Sphinx must be accepted, as well as the likelihood of an ancient advanced civilization, for example, the work of geologist, Robert Schoch. However, Picknett and Prince recoil in horror at such an idea, proclaiming that Schoch's work, and his conclusions are still very controversial and the subject of debate. At this point, Picknett and Prince begin to swallow gnats and strain at camels in their efforts to dislodge this one single issue of the redating of the sphinx and the possibility of an ancient civilization on Earth.
Why? Because, indeed, they have found evidence of something malicious and sticky moving like a hungry beast, smacking its drooling lips behind the scenes of these presentations.
Picknett and Prince then take great pains to viciously attack Edgar Cayce and other psychic sources because, of course, if he is saying that there were ancient civilizations - some of the same things that those who are promoting this political agenda are saying - then he must be part of the conspiracy, too!
But, in the way of all Damage Control and Disinformation, this is a typical ploy. If someone has discovered something of truth about the Matrix, the agents are sent in to associate with that person, to try to subvert or co-opt their work, and then to twist it into something that supports a negative agenda. Then, they deliberately set up a situation where the conspiracy is exposed as negative, and the original speaker of truth, by association, is discredited.
Picknett and Prince are right about the fact that there is a lot of so-called occult, psychic, New Age channeled material that is purely evil - part of this conspiracy to cover up the failures in the old belief systems. But they are wrong to believe that the system that is in place, the beliefs that have been promulgated on humanity for millennia are the benevolent results of natural human evolution, or a benign and omniscient God who has our best interests at heart. In fact, Picknett and Prince do not even seem to notice the fact that the present Matrix of beliefs is crumbling, and this is what has necessitated this co-opting and perversion of truth. If there was no failure of the old system, there would be no need for a new one. P & P recoil in horror at the Conspiracy they have uncovered, but they do not realize that the old system is exactly the same and that they have fallen for the oldest of Machiavellian tactics: create an enemy by demonizing your opponent, and then step in as a savior to do exactly what you have accused the opponent of planning. P & P do not seem to be fully cognizant of
the subtle nature of disinformation tactics and how cleverly it has been used throughout the millennia to deliver lies wrapped in truth. As a result of this, again and again they toss out the baby with the bathwater.
P & P go to some considerable trouble to outline the history of the occult Synarchist movement without even coming to the realization that this is precisely the system that is in charge of our world and has been for a very long time. Essentially, Synarchy advocates government by secret society, a group of "enlightened initiates" who rule from behind the scenes. It's pretty evident that political history and a broad overview of the forest is not P & P's strong suit. As Gary Allen put it in
None Dare Call It Conspiracy, it doesn't matter which political party gets elected, those who pull the strings of government - all governments - remain unknown to the masses.
P & P tell us that
Synarchists identified three key pillars of society that, once under the control of his elite, would allow them to rule without the population even being aware of their existence. These were the political and social institutions, the economic institutions and the religious institutions. Surprise, surprise! P & P need to wake up and smell the coffee!
Those three pillars of society have been under the control of a hidden group for a very, very long time, and there is plenty of evidence to support that fact. {...}
It's one thing to pursue conspiracy theories and to find them and track them and think that there are some very naughty folks here on the Big Blue Marble. It's an altogether different thing, after one has tracked enough of these theories, to come to the realization that they are all just different parts of the same elephant, and that the critter is really thousands of years old. When that fact smacks you in the face, either you run screaming in denial, or you begin to step back from the truly BIG picture, the global-millennial picture, and you see that there is a very stinky rat somewhere. Having arrived at that point, you realize that such a conspiracy could not be carried out by human beings - at least not alone. And then you have to face the most difficult task of all: asking yourself who or what could be behind it.
Having asked that question, you realize that you simply cannot answer it unless you open your mind to a whole constellation of possibilities that you would formerly never, ever, in your wildest dreams have considered. Then, if you work very, very hard, you may discover the "truth" that THEY want you to believe.
But, if you are very lucky, and you seek help based on the knowledge you have acquired that such help can and does exist - only we generally do not have access to it because we are too easily duped and manipulated - then you might begin to learn the rules of communicating with higher minds than our own. And doing that, then there is some hope of sorting out the mess. But it isn't easy, and it can't be easy.
Will P & P be able to make that leap of consciousness? It's hard to tell. They keep dancing around it in their books, they do some truly interesting research, but it just seems that the awareness of what is truly going on is still blocked from them. There's a dead elephant on the living room floor and they don't even seem to see it.
