Understanding the Ruling Elite
By Andy Thomas
Intense speculation on the ‘ruling elite’ many believe is
running the world from behind the scenes can lead to the presumption that it is
all-powerful and infallible. But is it? Identifying the human foibles and
underlying desires of those who may be planning centralised domination could
lead to a greater chance to offset their agendas.
In my book The Truth Agenda, I explore a widely-held
hypothesis in certain quarters: that the world might be controlled by a
powerful ruling elite, which puts its own narrow interests and convictions
above ours through manipulation and engineered global crises to help bring
about an Orwellian-style ‘One World Government’. The book also considers the
possibility that our planet is about to undergo a huge change, social, spiritual
or cosmological, something seemingly anticipated by several ancient cultures
around the world in the now renowned 2012 prophecies. The exploration of these
ideas throws up disturbing possibilities and more pieces of evidence to support
them than is entirely comfortable. However, if all that the most extreme
speculation achieves is to help prevent such a grim picture from reaching full
fruition, then it will have served a useful purpose. It is also crucial that a
note of optimism is struck.
An often valid criticism of conspiracy theorists, or
‘truthseekers’, is that their fevered investigations into humankind’s worst
nightmares can leave some listeners feeling more fearful, and risks driving
them into a state of disempowered paralysis, putting up the shutters when what
is needed is engagement. Yet the unavoidable truth is that looking a
potentially tough situation in the eye does mean facing up to disturbing
realities that may have been swept under the carpet, for they might require
urgent action. Lifting the blindfold even just a little means that we might not
run into the approaching wall at such a great velocity. If the idea of a
secretive but all-pervading cabal running the world leaves some feeling
shocked, the act of simply contemplating such an idea may in itself spark a new
awakening of consciousness.
What psychologically motivates this elite, however? What
kind of minds are we really dealing with? How can we attempt to understand
them, so that solutions and strategies for dealing with their actions may
become clearer?
The Elite and its Motivations
Something too often missed in all the conspiracy speculation
is the realisation that if we are being governed by a powerful cabal trying to
twist the world to its own ends, then we are still essentially dealing with
fellow human beings (putting ET/reptilian bloodline theories aside for a
moment). Like every other person on the planet, they must have physical, social
and emotional needs, even if the latter faculty may be too easily set aside in
the kind of mind that would plan 9/11-type scenarios (an event widely suspected
to have been deliberately staged by Western sources as part of a march towards
the ‘New World Order’). The personalities involved must have loved ones of
their own, and experience thoughts, feelings and cares in at least some
directions. They also, like most of us in our lives, probably think they are
doing the right thing, however much we may see their schemes as misguided.
This is an important point. We all have reasons for doing what
we do, and can often justify actions to ourselves in the face of serious
challenges from the outside. Hard though it may be to comprehend, the
motivation of those who might think that wiping out their own people would be a
positive move, or who believe that planning wars and economic breakdowns to
effect the creation of a unifying world government is an acceptable strategy,
the fact is that many seemingly well-intentioned visionaries throughout history
have voiced the need for such approaches. This does not make them right, of
course, but there is plainly a significant, if small, seam of humanity that
believes a bigger picture should be put before the needs of the masses. Those
who have expressed support for eugenics and depopulation strategies, for instance,
often have deep-seated environmental concerns or feel strongly that we have
lost our balance with nature and must put the planet’s future ahead of the
requirements of the common people.
One of the most prominent promoters of the term ‘New World
Order’ was the famous and much revered writer H G Wells, who believed
passionately that the only answer to global strife would be the creation of the
eponymous hierarchy, actively proposing it in his 1940 book The New World
Order. This is clearly not a modern concept, and has roots going back even
further than Wells’ idealistic vision of it. Some believe both World Wars were
deliberately coordinated, or at least used, to help bring about a mandate for
world government. As early as 1913, writing in his book The New Freedom,
President Woodrow Wilson made clear that some formidable force already
underpinned the commercial, and probably political, infrastructure of the USA:
Some of the biggest men in the US, in the field of commerce
and manufacturing, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know
that there is a power somewhere so organised, so subtle, so watchful, so
interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above
their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.
What is striking in H G Wells’ writings, however, is his
sense of excitement and enthusiasm for the idea of a dominating collective that
would put all to rights and avert “the disastrous extinction of Mankind.” There
is no sense of negative intention nor a Malthusian dislike for humanity. Yet at
the same time Wells was an advocate of eugenics. Many find this concept
entirely repugnant, but here is the paradox – the very kinds of people
truth-seekers tend to single out as the enemies of humanity very likely see
themselves as its saviours. It is all a matter of perspective and of where one
chooses to draw the moral line.
The philosopher Bertrand Russell openly accepted the
inevitability of a controlling One World Government, founded on the basis of
hard scientific values, and was disturbingly frank about the culture that would
result. Writing in his 1953 book The Impact of Science on Society, he states:
Diet, injections, and injunctions will combine, from a very
early age, to produce the sort of character and the sort of beliefs that the
authorities consider desirable, and any serious criticism of the powers that be
will become psychologically impossible……Gradually, by selective breeding, the
congenital differences between rulers and ruled will increase until they become
almost different species. A revolt of the plebs would become as unthinkable as
an organised insurrection of sheep against the practice of eating mutton.
On the surface, Russell’s thoughts appear to encourage such
a world, rather than condemn it, and such thinking seems outrageous, even if it
does come close to identifying the very philosophy that may now be actively
shaping our society. However, although it seems difficult, almost distasteful,
for some to contemplate, there is a thought to be considered here: What if such
thinking were definitively shown to be right? What if humankind’s very survival
did rest on the notion of more control, not less? What if the choice were
demonstrated to be between total destruction through over-population, pollution
and over-stretched resources, or a selectively-bred, closely-monitored world
that regulated itself and continued on? What if an anarchy-ridden post-2012
apocalypse society could be shown to stand no real chance of survival, whereas
a tightly-controlled disciplinarian civilisation would?
Uncomfortably, in the light of the world’s current
challenging issues, it can be seen, at least to a small extent, how arguments
could be made in these directions when looked at from a certain viewpoint. The
problem comes, as ever, with the massive issue of who gets to decide. Those in
comfortable circumstances looking down from on high must inevitably see things
rather differently to those scraping an existence lower down the rungs, at
their mercy. We already hold the power of genetic manipulation in our hands,
and it will not be too long before required characteristics of children will be
able to be routinely selected and engineered. Also, with life spans ever
increasing, and our understanding of tissue and brain cell regeneration growing
by the year, how long will it be before life can be sustained indefinitely?
When that occurs, the population problem will clearly explode if unlimited
access to such power is allowed (that is, if the majority of humankind is permitted
to survive in the first place – depopulation conspiracy theories are rife). A
world of immortals would risk stagnation, but also domination from those who
attained the status of immortality first. They would effectively decide who
would be offered the gift from thereon. In the end, the gene pool would almost
certainly be controlled by such authorities, the new eugenics having arrived
through the back door.
These issues are already reality, not dystopian fiction. The
power of genetic engineering, which is currently changing our food, both animal
and vegetable – and thus our entire ecosystem, as spliced and altered genes
make their way into nature through pollination and cross-breeding – means that
humankind has already taken the entire planet’s evolutionary destiny into its
own hands, and there is no going back. Do those calling the shots have the
moral compass to carry such a huge responsibility? Can they serve as the gods
they are setting themselves up to be?
In a society of angels, perhaps a charter of rigid
regulation, surveillance and genetic population control could be applied with
compassion and the wide agreement of a common consensus – but we are nowhere
near such a state of being. With the motivation of those governing our world
today clearly in question, it seems impossible that the kinds of agendas many
feel the ruling elite is implementing could work in any way other than being a
simple attack on the larger percentage of humankind. Without common consensus,
whatever the supposedly good intentions that might exist somewhere behind the
plans, any attempt to regulate the world by coercion and draconian measures
remains an immoral one.
Inherent Deception
The problem with global cover-ups is that they arrive and
build up – as deception does so often for all of us – through a lack of honesty
largely sparked by the fear of what people might think or do if they were to
perceive the true vulnerability within. The elite appears to fear us and our
reactions as much as we may fear it – otherwise it would not need to manipulate
and control. Many disingenuous actions are borne of inner psychosis; a lack of
trust that other people will understand. Our leaders appear to have got so used
to playing deceptive games that they cannot now operate any other strategy.
Everything from the banking system to Parliamentary administration appears to
be based on subterfuge. Right now we are clearly not trusted by those affecting
our lives so strongly and as a result we do not trust them. Not that some of
the elite would be remotely bothered about what any of us thinks of their
actions. For those who may feel that caveats to explain such motivation is too
generous to people who maim, kill and deceive to get their way, for whatever
reason, it should be noted that there do also appear to be those pulling the
strings who simply seek power for power’s sake. The lessons of history tell us
that selfishness, greed and excited bloodlust cannot be ruled out as prime
movers in some cases, at least. And, to acknowledge the not-insubstantial
suspicion of a ‘reptilian agenda’, if it were to turn out that this highly
exclusive club was indeed the result of a dominating extra-terrestrial gene
seeded aeons ago (as some believe, based on ancient myths) and being exploited
and/or activated by celestial visitors today, then it admittedly might explain
why concern for the needs of humanity appears to be as low down the list of its
priorities as our general concern for the welfare of livestock is today.
