Power and Conspiracy

December 29, 2015

Today, there is a trend, a divide, an ideology: that of "conspiracy theorists" and "anti-conspiracy theorists".

Conspiracy theorists are "those who see conspiracies everywhere", and anti-conspiracy theorists are those who denounce conspiracy theorists.

This is yet another way to shut down all debate and, above all, to prevent people from thinking about the obvious.

The corrupt exercise of power has always functioned through conspiracies.

When Nero planned the burning of Rome and blamed the Christians for it.

When the Nazis set fire to the Reichstag and accused the communists of being responsible.

When the generals of the French Army plotted a putsch against De Gaulle.

When Mitterrand planned the Observatory attack against himself to boost his public credit.

Here are a few well-known examples, but so many more abound in the history of world politics!

The essence of pathogenic power is paranoia.

I have studied it sufficiently in my work for years, to recall that unjust and arbitrary power is harassing, paranoiac in essence, while just power is based on authority and access to triangulation (to the third party).

Perversion, for its part, readily puts itself at the service of paranoia, whose desires it executes with enjoyment, technique and know-how.

In other words, the deviant power that operates in a paranoiac mode, says the opposite of what it does, proclaims ideals that it taints day after day, creates scapegoats (internal and/or external), manipulates through terror and empathy, traumatizes and harasses its own people, sometimes without their knowledge, splits thought into "good" and "bad", engages in daily ideological propaganda, ensures control of mass information and reinforces its desire for expansion through war.

All of this is more or less visible and subtle, but this type of power only governs through conspiracies.

The one who is paranoiac is not the one who denounces this, but the one who exercises this type of power.

Pathogenic power can be identified by its paradoxical injunctions.

He says one thing and does the opposite.

He says one thing and the next day, says the opposite.

He says, above all, that in the name of the persecution he would suffer (and which he often stages himself), he must persecute.

Furthermore, isn't there a huge paradoxical injunction when the government tells you that, for your freedom, it will suppress your freedoms?

Finally, the paranoid power persecutes those who oppose wars, in the name of "preserving the interests of the nation", a nation whose persecution it will itself have organized, directly or indirectly.

“The deprivation of intimacy”

(from the title of an excellent book by Michaël Foessel)

For the good and safety of all, the paranoiac system arrogates to itself the right to deprive the group or people it governs of their privacy.

Everything is spied on, controlled, monitored, in the name of perverted ideals.

When healthcare professionals are no longer able to protect their patients' data because they are not among the professions "protected" from arbitrary searches by those in power, the deprivation of privacy becomes very clear. Is this for your safety? Or does it expose you?

As for those who shout, in the face of the paranoiac system, that they can be spied on, because they have nothing to hide… they seriously misunderstand the intentions of the paranoiac power which are to divert the intimate in order to subvert it and turn it against any form of opposition.

Anyone who has to hide their private life. Intimacy is not only sexual, it is also emotional, psychological, etc.

I must be able to feel, reflect, write, and debate freely in my private life, without an "eye of Moscow" – which has now been transferred to Paris – watching, like an archaic Superego ready to condemn any personal and living thought, any difference, and any creativity.

It doesn't matter whether this surveillance is real, since it is now rooted in fantasy . The same is true for censorship.

It is more effective, in fact, when it is rooted in fantasy.

It is then forbidden to exist in one's subjectivity and each individual will become his own prison guard.

But intimacy is sacred. We protect what is sacred.

If we accept that others intrude upon our own privacy, violate our privacy, which is sacred, we consent to profaning everything, to defiling everything.

And that's very serious.

A benevolent power will indeed not harm you.

But a benevolent power would never allow itself to come and search your home, to spy on you, etc.

A power that spies on its own people is a totalitarian power, whatever its name may be.

Because one must oneself have no psychic or moral barriers to dare to intrude on the intimate space of the other.

Some basic principles

Throughout history, the visible puppets presented to you as your "rulers" (or worse, "ministers", which, etymologically, are the "servants" of the people!) have very often been manipulated by powerful, invisible figures, shrewd strategists who have had time to refine several disciplines over the past centuries: strategy, the art of war, mass manipulation (emotion, energy, symbols, hypnosis), esotericism, and occultism. For example, Mazarin (and, through him, the Jesuits) governed in the shadow of Louis XIII and then Louis XIV.

Anything goes when it comes to seizing and maintaining power.

These powerful people often know you much better than you know yourself.

They know how to get the masses to react.

From generation to generation, knowledge is passed down within the oligarchy, which intends to retain power.

However, some principles are well-known:

• Divide and conquer

The enemy of the people is then the one who carries out this manipulation, and not the one who is officially designated as their enemy.

• Unite against a scapegoat

The ideal is an internal scapegoat, someone who will allow for total control of the population.

• Artificially create the savior and the persecutor

The one who comes to save you is actually the cause of the problem, and saving you allows him to gain additional power.

Manipulation through fear and pity

Humans produce as their most powerful emotions what the ancient Greeks called "pity" (meaning empathy) and "fear" (terror).

If there is no theatre to expel them, then we will expel them into the theatre of "real life" and the masses will be manipulated in this way.

Because theatre is play, and play allows us to create boundaries between inside and outside, and, precisely, to not play out the fantasized scene in reality.

This is why theatre, among the Athenians, was a civic duty: attending a tragedy by Aeschylus or Euripides had the civic function of expelling this excess of emotion of empathy and terror, by identifying with the hero, of whom Racine told us that, for the identification to work correctly, he had to be "half guilty, half innocent" (preface to Phaedrus).

The Ancients had perfectly theorized it, from the perspective of "catharsis" conceptualized by Aristotle.

We should not be surprised that Classical Literature is now relegated to the status of a poor teaching of the "Republic" (the CAPES in Classical Literature having been abolished, it was therefore part of the plan to abolish the teaching of Latin and Greek): there are, in the knowledge of the Ancients, in ancient philosophy, treasures of understanding and comprehension that it is now unwelcome to teach, to transmit and to know.

Throughout history, those who have sought power over nations have never been gentle lambs. And the wolf will never warn you that he is a wolf!

The acculturation of the masses is part of the alienation project, and individuals must be aware of this.

Everything that contributes to developing subjectivity, imagination, symbolization, art, culture, and thought will be condemned by powers of a totalitarian nature.

Sometimes there are honest rulers who serve the ideal rather than their personal ambitions, but this is extremely rare.

Rare, because those who wish to exert a pathogenic power over people do not allow them to exercise power for long (assassinations, murders disguised as suicides, media disqualification…).

It is also rare because, as Plato said, those who would be the most competent and wisest to exercise power do not precisely desire this function.

Vigilance

So, more than ever, be vigilant against manipulation.

It is particularly noticeable through paradoxes:

• In the name of freedom of expression, muzzling citizens and carrying out arbitrary searches and house arrests that prevent the right to protest.

• In the name of freedom and rights, suppress freedoms and rights.

• In the name of the fight against terrorism, sowing terror oneself.

• In the name of fighting hatred, to cultivate and orient the political project towards hatred.

I keep bringing up Stalin and his "most democratic constitution in the world" in 1936, at the same time as he was liquidating his generals…

The prohibitions on thinking

The power, in its paranoiac essence, censors, prohibits, and stigmatizes all differentiated thought.

Any thought that deviates from the beaten path of common dogma will be rejected, and will expose the one who expresses it to mockery, ostracism, and banishment.

The real enemy is not the child who has been torn from his family, traumatized repeatedly to be dissociated into several compartmentalized, manipulable personalities, hypnotized, indoctrinated, and drugged, and who, as a zombie, will commit an attack in the prime of life in which he himself will die.

The real enemy is a deadly system inhabited by power-hungry psychopaths who created this killer robot.

Let's not mistake our enemies by designating scapegoats. Let's be more focused today than ever before, especially if other events occur that threaten to destabilize us.

Let us work more than ever on our sense of inner security, let us not allow ourselves to be advised or guided by fear.

Let's simply return to the analysis of what we serve.

Are we serving positive energies of construction and life, or are we now serving energies of death?

There are two universal truths, which are worth remembering:

Fear always breeds violence (and vice versa).

Hate always breeds hate.

Reality is systemic; everything functions in mirrors and through processes.

Therefore, in everything that happens to us, it is best to ask ourselves, "How could I have participated in it?"

When I was in preparatory school, my philosophical essay topic was "Why do religions set men against each other?", and I drew a conclusion that I would not deny today: it is not religions that set men against each other, it is the hidden political manipulation that infiltrates them.

I know many wounded Muslims who only ask to practice their religion in peace, in the spiritual tranquility of the relationship of the human to the infinite that transcends him.

The rest is fundamentalist, inquisitorial, fanatical and has nothing to do with Prophets of Peace, just as the Inquisition in its time had nothing to do with Christ.

That religious texts are tampered with afterwards, to serve political manipulation interests, is nothing new either!

Here we are facing the same scenario, in reverse, as the one that was fabricated during the Crusades by infiltrating the Christian religion. Let's not be fooled.

As if religions could be exported through war, especially since they require the believer's free consent—this is utter nonsense. As if faith could be imposed by force!

On the other hand, pathogenic power, for its part, is exported through war and thrives in these power relations and domination.

And submission to a single dogma clearly bears the mark of paranoia.

All human life is short on earth, and we come here to learn to love, to live, to experience joy and beauty, to encounter harmony.

Don't feed the war.

Don't call it war,

Do not desire war.

Refuse to pay for the war,

This war that others want to drag us into for their own interests and sadistic pleasure.

I am very sad today to have to write all this.

I wish you all a wonderful holiday season, filled with warmth, sharing, and brotherly communion.
