Interlude: The Three Day Book Sale

I’ve just returned from a 3 day book sale a few blocks from my house. I’ve stopped in 3 times in the last two days, browsing all the titles and looking for things that appeal to me. Despite 3 visits, I’ve only come away with 5 books—one of them a gift I plan to give.

I bought an old copy of Tom Sawyer ironically marked “Clemens”. I picked up a couple of how too books: one on framing, (something I’ve always wanted to do) and one on general arts and crafts. The other two books were “The Basic Ideas of Alexander Hamilton” and “My Utmost for His Highest” by Oswald Chambers. This last one is the gift. I use this devotional book, but the writing is very old and hard to understand, so I bought this ‘updated’ version for my best friend Johnny.

I bought the Hamilton book hoping to find evidence for or against Mr. Hamilton being a secret agent of Great Brittan. With the editor fawning over him in the introduction, it does not look like I’ll find much. I might catch a slip up, if I “read between the lines”.

I was amazed at the nearly useless collection of “Non-fiction” books they had for sale. Thousands of titles, all contradicting each other on identical subjects, (usually WWII or the USSR)—and all of them LIES! Oh, and let’s not forget the JFK assassination books. They could have given over one whole table to JFK and half of the table would have been loaded down with proof or refutation of the conspiracy behind his death. All garbage! Do you think ONE of those books would mention that JFK was planning on eliminating the Federal Reserve System? And revamping or closing the CIA? And that he refused to share nuclear technology with Israel? I’d bet not. If I could, I’d ship the entire collection of books at that sale to my friend Niki. She could pick out the few useful books and burn the rest for kindling.

A few of their books were truly disturbing to observe. “The Plan” by Obama’s new chief of staff Rahm Emanuel was an outline for future communitarian governmental policies. Mr. Emanuel will have his chance to institute them now. Yuck. For those of you that don’t know, Emanuel’s father was a terrorist for Israel. Click Here for a clue.

A book titled “Green Politics” published in 1984, had a wonderful communitarian quote just inside the cover: “We are neither left nor right, we are out front.” Hows that grab you? Six full years before their guru founded the Communitarian Network and they were already “Out Front”. Funny how Niki’s recent blog on Bill Clinton’s new gun control agenda makes a similar quote. Not left, not right: FORWARD. Yeah right. Dystopia—THIS WAY.

I searched for new age books. The New Age Movement will be my next entry in the “Essential Thoughts” series. Surprisingly I didn’t find many New Age books—unless you count “The Purpose Driven Life”. I saw at least 5 copies of that in various places.

Random histories of the British Empire or of the Middle East intrigued me, but I could not bring myself to buy any. Whitewashed history does not interest me much. I hate having to read 600+ pages to glean 11 facts. An overly helpful woman asked what I was looking for, and I was perturbed. I told her, “things you can’t find anywhere”, and she persisted. “Like what?” in her glossy salesperson voice… ugh. “Like all the taboo books you and your associates have likely filtered out and have in a box somewhere. Can you lead me to that box please?” Well that is what I should have said anyway.

How do you look a stranger in the eye and tell them that you are looking for the few rare and priceless books that will reveal the truth about the coming one world communitarian government? The answer is: You Don’t. Instead you compromise. You be polite. …and in my case you leave a little irritated and walk to the Goodwill store where your overly-pregnant wife is waiting with 20 dollars worth of merchandise. She’s just called you on the cell phone, and you have all the money.

Later when I made my third trip to the book sale, I avoided that same lady, as she tried to pitch some poor girl with her “let me help you find some books” banter. Somehow the entire venture was deflating for me. I came closer to finding and buying books when I was at the Goodwill. But I didn’t buy any there either.

We did buy a beautiful little teddy bear wearing a dress and sewn on shoes. My wife was asking the girl at the counter about the price …and like some mumbling mongoloid, this girl stammered “fitty cent”, and when my wife said, “what?”, it was still “FITTY CENT.” In a whispered aside, my wife reminded me to be nice, and we made it out the door with no confrontation. Both of us are famous for attacking clerks for their lack of professionalism. I guess we have the same pet peeve. Laughing and talking about “people these days”, we decided that “Fitty Cent” was a great name for the teddy bear. So Fitty Cent it is, and Fitty Cent it was and Fitty Cent it will always be.

I may add one more interlude before we get around to Part Four of Essential Thoughts. I have a story about how I quit smoking, and it always seems to get a laugh, so I it takes a while to give an overview of the New Age Movement, I’ll write up my smoking story… A true inspiration.

Until then—keep on reading!

Five Essential Thoughts: part 3.

MYSTERY BABYLON

The third subject in my “Essential Thoughts” series is Mystery Babylon. I first was introduced to the term Mystery Babylon while reading the last book of the Bible. Revelation. Revelation is dark, confusing and one of the most argued over books in the Bible. I think it can be safely called the most controversial book on earth. I’m open to suggestions on books that rival Revelation for controversy. Revelation chapters 17 and 18 deal with the symbolic images of a woman riding a beast with many heads. Revelation 17, verse 5 says:

And upon her forehead was a name written,
MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT,
THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS
AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

Here we immediately see the deception in using the words “Mystery Babylon” together. The words are regularly referenced together as such. In this Bible quotation, the word mystery (more accurately translated-“secret”) is separated from “Babylon the Great” by a comma. What the scripture appears to be telling us is that there is a (symbolic) woman who is secretly the mother of prostitution and uncleanness in the earth. The common argument is whether this woman represents a city, a church, a country, or a combination of all of them. I do not offer you an answer based on my opinion nor do I claim to “prove” that I’ve discovered the ultimate truth of these scriptures. Everything I offer here is for the benefit of the reader’s personal studies.

In a Google search for “MYSTERY BABYLON” the top few results are interesting. The first link is a site that claims to prove that the Catholic Church is the “Mystery Babylon” of Revelation. The second link attempts to connect “Mystery Babylon” with New York City and the 9/11 attacks. The third link is a compilation of radio broadcasts made by famous shortwave radio host Milton William Cooper. This last link is the one I consider most valuable. Bill Cooper investigates all of the secret societies and ancient religions, starting from the beginning of time. He tracks then nearly up to the present in his “Mystery Babylon” series. The link provided here appears to have all of the episodes.

Continuing down the list of Google links, we find that various arguments are made, with each claiming to identify “Mystery Babylon”. One claims she could be Catholic or Jewish, a number of links claim that America is Mystery Babylon. Some claim it is a church, some claim it is a system of beliefs within numerous churches or governments, while yet others claim it is the “New Age” or “neo-paganism”… and the debate rages on.

So far, this subject has given me the most trouble in writing and researching. Communitarianism and Zionism were easy to summarize by contrast. How can I explain why I think “Mystery Babylon” is important, if it cannot be defined?
First, let me say that I do not believe that ANY of the links or search results gives us a useable definition.

William Cooper’s series comes closest to defining “Mystery Babylon”—but his definition is 46 episodes long! If you are unfamiliar with the rituals of ancient sun worship and how they relate to secret societies and current political and religious events, Cooper’s series is essential.
Going further, we find sites that claim “Mystery Babylon” is the city of Jerusalem. It is easy to overlook the significance of Jerusalem in world history. The argument can be made that Jerusalem has been the most influential city on earth at different times. Has it? A more important question would be who controls Jerusalem. Even more important—what are the future plans for Jerusalem?

If we could establish what or who controls Jerusalem, or who wants to control Jerusalem, we might be getting closer to solving the secret of Babylon the Great. If we could prove that the identical power controls Israel, the United States, Canada, China and hundreds of other countries, we would be damned close to identifying Babylon the Great.
The suggestion that “Mystery Babylon” is actually British-Israel is a rare one. British-Israel philosophy is based on the false idea that the British Royals are the true descendents of ancient Israel and therefore they have the right to rule the earth according to bloodline and prophecy.
With long hours and specific searches, you can fish out the links that explain the possible roll of British-Israel in the world. Other names for this obscure movement are Anglo-Israel, Christian Identity and “The Vigorous Protestants” among others. It is interesting to note that British Israel believes in Zionism.

Summarizing “Mystery Babylon” at this point becomes a nightmare for the writer/researcher. Let us try:

Mystery Babylon is a symbolic woman on a multi-headed beast who represents a city, a church, a nation, or a spiritual ideology, or all of the above, (or possibly only parts of each.) She could be Catholic, Jewish, British, American, Iraqi, or of unknown origin, and she is the mother of fornication and abominations in the earth. We know that Ancient Babylon was famous for its hedonist paganism and therefore Mystery Babylon carries with her the spirit of neo-paganism, or of the New Age, and she represents the high priestess/goddess of the Mystery Schools and Secret Societies i.e.

Freemasonry, Rosicrucians, The Pilgrim’s Society, B’nai B’rith, Scientology, Knights of Malta, the Jesuits, etcetera etcetera ad infinitum.
Her influence is of the devil. Her tactics and goals are well hidden. They are enigmas within enigmas. She uses dialectical devices to further her deceptions and ensure her disguises. Her goal is complete control of the world and the eradication of God himself.

An expert at lies and deception will always be ahead of the game. Knowing the truth will eventually come out; the liar will craft careful plans to sidetrack the “truth seeker”. According to this logic, the promotion of ANY of the above mentioned theories on Mystery Babylon could lead to deception.

For example: If one side claims it is the Catholic Church and the other side claims it is Zionism, it is possible that the REAL Mystery Babylon has maneuvered these pawns into place so they can be blamed and accused, creating distractions and disagreements and thereby shielding the truly abominable harlot from her blame. Controlling all opposition to is an ancient concept.
If you have not studied the Hegelian Dialectic—you are a victim of it. The philosopher Hegel explained his ideas on how to manipulate the masses and “synthesize” a desired effect. By creating a problem, anticipating the reaction, and then providing a solution you can “synthesize” a desired result. This is Hegel’s dialectic in its most base form.
Think of it like this:

You own 10 houses. An infamous mobster in your town comes and offers to insure each of your houses for 100 dollars a month. You politely refuse. That next week, 3 of your 10 houses burn down. The mobster then returns and makes a new offer. He’ll insure your 7 remaining houses for 200 dollars each per month. After very little thought, you take him up on the offer. You’ve just become a victim of the Hegelian Dialectic.

The reason I suggest the study of the dialectical process is this: Whatever “Mystery Babylon” is, it moves forward using the dialectic. It plans problems, anticipates reactions from the masses, and has its solutions ready.

What you are NOT likely to find in studying the dialectic is its fourth phase, called TRANSCENDENCE. This is portion is almost never mentioned, but was unearthed by a studious researched named Bobby Garner. The gist of dialectical transcendence is this: once sufficient amounts of synthesis have been created, you reach a final synthesis. The Transcendence. The transcendence is the process of starting a whole new age. A new game. A “New World Order”. “The Age of Aquarius”… and so on.

We would all do well to study the plans of those who claim to be “elite”. Understanding the desires of men who seek Utopia at any cost will help the reader to predict the future before it happens. This allows us to become physically and spiritually prepared. Many believe there is an ongoing battle between good and evil—Between God and the Secret of Babylon the Great. I confess that I believe this battle is real, and I believe that the Victory is in understanding the words of Jesus Christ.
