This post is premised on the idea that much of what happens in our pop culture and in our civil life is handled and controlled by a shadow elite. There are many who find such an idea spurious. If you’re one of those who find such an idea to be spurious you may just laugh in your sleeve and pass on by. Support for such ideas are found in books like Carroll Quigley’s “Tragedy and Hope,” Anthony Sutton’s various titles, Em Griffin’s “Creature From Jekyll Island,” and others.
“We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 years……It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supernational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries.”

Four Levels of Controllers.
1.) Useful Idiots
These people cooperate with the control system enforcing their agenda without even realizing that such a organized system exists. They have been saturated with the control system culture and honestly believe that said culture is the best for optimum living. They seldom think outside the ruts provided by the pop culture. These would include many secondary school teachers, many ministers, Shrinks of various stripes and types, local, county and state elected officials, journalists, etc.
2.) Utopian Idealists
These people realize that there is a control system yet they are willing to work within that system because they think that though even though there may be unfortunate excesses in the system from time to time, still overall the control system is benevolent. These would include many College Professors, entry level bureaucrats, elected officials who have been around long enough to know the score.
3.) Compromised Careerists
These folks know their is a control system and have been corrupted by it so that they can not turn against it or leave it without they and their lives being compromised. These folks are the majority of folks who do the dirty work for the higher up controllers. These folks are the hired guns. They are reliable and predictable. These would include folks who have been in the bureaucracies for a very long time. Someone like the recently fired IRS Lois Learner would fall into this category. (If anyone thinks Lois Learner acted on her own initiative without higher officials directing her actions you deserve to remain in the Matrix.)
4.) Planners and Implementers
These are the heavy hitters in the public eye. They are the top policy makers in Hollywood, Washington DC, New York Media conglomerates, Publishing houses, Fashion Industry, etc. These folks would be the ones who take the orders from the shadow elite. This group includes Presidents and Cabinet level positions, Captains of Industry, and Media Moguls. You get the idea.
5.) The Shadow Elite
These are the names that are only whispered. These are those who are barely known by the oi polloi. They control the movement of International finance, of nations, and often of Armies. Names like Rothschild, and Rockefeller come to mind. These are they who are seeking to herd everything into a New World Order.
It is helpful to keep in mind that very little that is accomplished by this system is accomplished by brute force. As the controllers own the media and educational outlets their accomplishments are most often achieved by their constant messaging from the tenderest of years until one has adopted that messaging for their worldview. The controllers achieve their ends by creating consensus and they create consensus by blanketing the information outlets.
“For more than a century ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents such as my encounter with Castro to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure–one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.”

Pastor M,
This is spot on. Bilderberg group etc…
Sad to say that most people are in category #1.. and this includes a majority of Christians (in addition to ministers).. (reformed or non-reformed).
I wonder how much we will have to endure before the church realizes what is going on. Sad to say, I can easily expect that the answer will be: never.
They will simply think that that level of control is actually freedom. I guess if a rat has lived in a cage his entire life and knows nothing else, his cage seems like freedom.
At least Rockefeller owns it.
Conspiracy a Potpourri
Conspiracy a potpourri
Hidden in plain sight to see
Connectedness beyond degree,
Displays itself increasingly
With sainted mediocrity,
Hyper-conscientiously,
Intoxicating don’t you see?
I think there’s a sixth category of controllers, related to the first group (useful idiots) but not exactly the same. You could call these people the “The Gatekeepers.” They’re the guys who give aid and comfort to those disillusioned with the endgame of the revolution without ever leading them to actually oppose the revolution itself. The gatekeepers rail against the excesses of cultural Marxism while accepting and celebrating the foundational tenants of cultural Marxism; they gripe about “political correctness run amok” but do not disavow political correctness in toto; they speak of liberty, but not of Christ; they claim to be enemies of globalism even as they relegate nationhood to a mere idea. In short, they are false opposition.
Fyodor Dostoevsky recognized this phenomenon in Russia during his own day. In his work “Demons,” an exchange between the conservative provincial governor, Von Lembke, and the nihilistic revolutionary Pyotr Stepanovich illustrates the necessary role gatekeepers play in the revolutionary process:
“We have responsibilities, and as a result we also serve the common cause as you do. We are only holding back what you loosen and what without us would scatter in various directions.
We’re not your enemies; hardly so. We’re saying to you: go forward, make progress, even shatter, that is, everything that is subject to alteration; but when needed, we will keep you within the necessary boundaries and save you from yourselves, because without us you would only send Russia into upheaval, depriving her of a proper appearance, and our duty is to look after proper appearances.
Understand that you and I are mutually necessary to each other. In England Tories and Whigs also need each other. Now then, we’re Tories, and you’re Whigs…”
“Well, however you like it,” murmured Pyotr Stepanovich. “Nevertheless you are paving the way for us and preparing our success.”
———-
To be sure, the gatekeepers are useful idiots in their own way, so perhaps you could think of them as a sort of subcategory of the useful idiot. But whereas your prototypical useful idiot like Chris Matthews and Bill O’Reilly buy into the establishment paradigm more or less wholesale, the gatekeepers (as well as those caught in their net) are smart enough to see something seriously wrong with this paradigm but not wise enough to recognize that they share with it the very same presuppositions that inevitably lead to the totalitarian outcome they find so terrifying. Because they lack a principled, biblical resistance to revolutionary humanism (in any of its various forms), their entire mission is doomed to failure.
Once you understand this, it becomes very easy to see why secular, Western conservatism loses to the forces of liberalism every step of the way.
Excellent addition Joel.
I agree.
Joel,
Well reasoned and well stated.
Sleeping Pill
Leaders of the compromise
View the truth through others eyes
Taking poles to oft’ survey
Likes and dislikes of the day
Direct the sheep till half a sleep
From the truth without a peep
Common gracious sleeping pill
God’s law word left frozen still
