• Unelected Influence: The deep state and shadow government are composed of bureaucrats, intelligence agencies, military officials, and corporate interests that wield power without being accountable to the electorate.
• Secrecy: Their operations and agendas are often hidden from public view, making it difficult to hold them accountable.
• Continuity: These entities persist across different administrations, ensuring that their policies and interests remain intact regardless of who is in office.
• Control Over Key Institutions: They have significant influence over national security, financial systems, and major corporations, allowing them to shape policies and decisions.

Historical Context

The concept of the deep state has been discussed for decades, with various political figures and analysts highlighting its existence and influence. For example:

• Theodore Roosevelt warned about an invisible government that controls the nation’s political and economic systems.
• John F. Hylan, former Mayor of New York City, described an invisible government run by powerful international bankers.
• Mike Lofgren, a former congressional staffer, detailed the deep state as a hybrid of national security and law enforcement agencies that operate independently of elected officials.

Key Players

The deep state and shadow government include:

• Government Agencies: Such as the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
• Corporate Interests: Major corporations like Exxon Mobil, Monsanto, and Wall Street firms that have significant influence over policy.
• Billionaire Families: Families like the Rothschilds and Rockefellers, who have historically controlled banking, media, and other key industries.
• Military-Industrial Complex: A term coined by President Eisenhower to describe the interlocking interests of the military, defense contractors, and government.

Mechanisms of Control

The deep state and shadow government use various mechanisms to maintain their influence:

Surveillance and Intelligence: Use of surveillance technologies and intelligence agencies to monitor and control dissent.

Media Control: Ownership of mainstream media outlets to shape public opinion and narrative.

Economic Leverage: Control over financial institutions and markets to influence policy and political outcomes.

Legal and Judicial Systems: Influence over key courts and legal systems to ensure their interests are protected.

Rev. Jul. 25, 2019 | SES = Senior Executive Service; LEGEND: These corruptocrat photos contain a stylized Christian Celtic Wheel Cross in the background alongside the text “Corruption Central,” meaning we have put the person’s conduct under the microscope and discovered that he or she is at the center of global corruption.

Judge Amy Berman Jackson asserted in Feb. 2019 that a heavily cropped version of her corruptocrat photo (First Amendment OPINION about a public official!) where the “corruption” text had been cropped out, as had the yellow toxic hazardous waste image, was unambiguously a rifle cross hair in her interpretation. The context of the image had been so heavily cropped that it looked suspiciously like someone had been paid to butcher it to fit her bogus narrative. Even so, her interpretation of the butchered version shows not only her woeful ignorance of theology, history, symbology and engineering, but also her self-serving violation of the Code of Conduct for U.S. Judgesrequiring her recusal for bias—not even counting her financial partiality to investment in scores of Clinton Foundation donors. The background logo could be many things, but she clearly wanted to see only a rifle sight (perhaps the victims of her Fast and Furious gun running fiasco with Eric Holder weigh heavily on her soul). Others assert equally ignorantly that the Cross is a pagan or white supremacist symbol.

This stylized Chi-Rho Christian Cross dates to 312 A.D. when Emperor Constantine adopted the symbol after his history-changing “By this sign, you shall conquer” vision of the Cross of Jesus Christ on the Milvian Bridge. A similar Wheel Cross form began to be widely used in Ireland by the seventh century. See footnote. The triple entendre indicates that the person’s corrupt life—when studied under a microscope—has been found wanting, but that there is hope in Christ if the person repents from his or her wicked ways. It triples as a reticle or graticule built into all sorts of eyepieces in microscopes, oscilloscopes, surveying instruments, astronomy optics, precision pointers, binoculars, etching equipment, and yes, gun sights, but also computer mouse pointers! Therefore, to claim that it could only mean a gun sight is truly ignorant or self-serving. As discussed, it is a call to prayer and repentance based upon microscopicobservation of the corruptcrat’s conduct. For Judge Jackson to intepret the symbol in the only way she could think of as her judicial excuse to gag Roger Stone’s FREE SPEECH right to defend himself is a heinous abuse of her authority. Chief Justice John Roberts should censor her immediately. Patriots must demand it. To further reinforce this triple entendre and to accomodate judicial sensibilities, our volunteers have updated the stylized Celtic Wheel Cross with an actual one, as well as changed the logo type to “Corruption Exposed.” May the Lord deliver us from corrupt judges and their accomplices in America and around the world. Proverbs 17:23: “Corrupt judges accept secret bribes, and then justice is not done.”

Integration of Modern and Ancient Wisdom

• Combining Modern Medicine with Ancient Wisdom: While modern medicine addresses physical symptoms, ancient healing traditions focus on the energetic or spiritual root causes of illness.
• Holistic Approach: For lasting health, it is essential to tend to the soil (energetic and spiritual well-being) while addressing physical symptoms.

• Secrecy and Exclusivity: The secretive nature of these societies adds to their allure and perceived power. Their rituals and knowledge are often hidden from the public eye, fueling theories about their true intentions and influence.
• Integration into Power Structures: Esoteric societies are believed to have penetrated the corridors of power, influencing political and financial decisions. This raises questions about the transparency and ethics of global governance.
• Philosophical and Mystical Elements: These societies often incorporate philosophical and mystical elements into their practices, which are thought to shape their worldview and decision-making processes.

Ethical and Philosophical Dilemmas

The influence of esoteric societies raises profound ethical and philosophical questions:

• Equity and Justice: The pursuit of esoteric wisdom versus the principles of an open and equitable society is a critical dilemma. It invites a broader conversation about the values that should guide human progress.
• Right to Knowledge: The quest for knowledge and power, especially when shrouded in secrecy, challenges the right to knowledge and the balance between esoteric wisdom and public access to information.

Future Implications

The future trajectory of human development, shaped by both visible and unseen forces, presents a critical choice:

• Enlightenment vs. Control: Will society move towards a future driven by a genuine quest for enlightenment and collective betterment, or will it drift into an era marked by control and manipulation by a select elite?
• Transparency and Critical Inquiry: The resolution to this question hinges on fostering a culture that values transparency, encourages critical inquiry, and embraces collective responsibility.

The Role of Secret Societies

Secret societies and fraternal orders often serve as networking platforms for the elite. Meetings at events like the Bilderberg Group and the World Economic Forum allow powerful individuals to discuss and coordinate their interests.

Influence of Intergenerational Dynasties

Intergenerational family dynasties have maintained their influence over centuries. They often control vast financial resources and have deep connections in various sectors, including banking, media, and politics.

• Carl Jung’s Views: The psychologist Carl Jung believed that UFO sightings could be psychic experiences rather than physical events. He suggested that people involved in occult practices might witness UFOs that are not physically present.

Government and Insider Perspectives

• Spiritual and Religious Connections: Insiders and government officials have increasingly highlighted spiritual and religious angles to the UFO phenomenon. Some suggest that UFOs may not be extraterrestrial but could be manifestations of spiritual forces.
• Vatican’s Interest: There have been calls for the Vatican to open its archives to explore potential connections between historical religious accounts and UFO encounters. This could lead to a theological reimagining if disclosure occurs.

Cultural and Historical Context

• Ancient Texts: Some researchers draw parallels between UFO experiences and ancient texts like the Book of Enoch, which describes beings descending to Earth. This linkage raises questions about the motivations behind such associations.
• Political and Social Implications: The intersection of UFO research and religious interpretations has political and social implications. It can influence public perception and policy, as well as shape cultural narratives around the phenomenon.

The key to powerful thinking is powerful questioning. When we ask the right questions, we succeed as a thinker, for questions are the force that powers our thinking. Thinking, at any point in time, can go off in thousands of different directions, some of which, by the way, are dead-ends. Questions define the agenda of our thinking. They determine what information we seek. They lead us in one direction rather than another. They are, therefore, a crucial part of our….
