Part Six
Political Control Technology
by Franz J. T. Lee
Before we continue with our appraisal of Bill's book, we would like to remark on the plans for a current political control technology in the European Union, which is already probably much more advanced in the USA. This simply implies, that in the very near future in the emerging Global State, which surreptitiously is already in operation everywhere, publication of books, revealing the truth about "flying saucers" and other "occult" current technological projects, including Internet chats and discussions exposing these "conspiracies", would soon be well-nigh impossible. Herewith, we want to highlight another important aspect of Bill's work. Remember the rhetorical question that he asked, and the logical implications:
"Is it possible that an entire area of physics has been declared virtually 'occult' and 'off-limits' to the public, or to private individuals, by a powerful group, so that all science education or data generally available to the public has been 'screened' to eliminate references to it?"
Now, let us look at the following document of the "European Parliament":
" SCIENTIFIC
AND TECHNOLOGICAL OPTIONS ASSESSMENT,
STOA,
AN APPRAISAL
OF TECHNOLOGIES OF POLITICAL CONTROL,
Working
document (Consultation version), Luxembourg, 6 January 1998,
PE 166 499."
Although it states the following, nevertheless, it gives us an excellent idea of what is going on:
"This document is a working document. The
current version is being
circulated for consultation. It is not an official publication of STOA
or of the European Parliament. This document does not necessarily
represent the views of the European Parliament."
And what are the objectives of this research work?
In how far do these plans of
"technological political control" affect us? Well,
read for yourself:
"The objectives of this
report are fourfold: (i) to provide Members of the
European Parliament with a guide to recent
advances in the technology of
political control; (ii) to identify, analyse
and describe the current state
of the art of the most salient developments;
(iii) to present members with
an account of current trends, both in Europe
and Worldwide; and (iv) to
develop policy recommendations covering regulatory
strategies for their
management and future control."
And what do the "seven substantive sections" cover respectively? Lo and behold!
"(i) The role and function of the technology of political control;
(ii) Recent trends and innovations (including
the implications of
globalization, militarization of police equipment,
convergence of control
systems deployed worldwide and the implications
of increasing technology and
decision drift);
(iii) Developments in surveillance technology
(including the emergence of
new forms of local, national and international
communications interceptions
networks and the creation of human recognition
and tracking devices);
(iv) Innovations in crowd control weapons (including
the evolution of a 2nd.
generation of so called 'less-lethal weapons'
from nuclear labs in the USA).
(v) The emergence of prisoner control as a
privatized industry, whilst state
prisons face increasing pressure to substitute
technology for staff in cost
cutting exercises and the social and political
implications of replacing
policies of rehabilitation with strategies
of human warehousing.
(v) The use of science and technology to devise
new efficient mark-free
interrogation and torture technologies and
their proliferation from the US &
Europe.
(vi) The implications of vertical and horizontal
proliferation of this
technology and the need for an adequate political
response by the EU, to
ensure it neither threatens civil liberties
in Europe, nor reaches the hands
of tyrants."
Now, enjoy the following list of gadgets and instruments of torture, of technological political control, already used since decades, and which nowadays are being perfected and improved technologically. And take note, the perpetrators are not all "Nazis", "Fascists", "Illuminati", "Communists" and "Terrorists", au contraire, they are Christians, are "Liberals", "Democrats" and "Republicans".
If this is happening on Earth, then you could imagine
what is happening in the Solar System. Here are parts of the list of recent

Are you still doubting that "Flying Saucers" are being built on Earth? Are you still believing that we have not yet reached George Orwell's "1984"? Do you still believe in the "human being"? In "democracy"? Do you still think that you are "well-educated", "well-informed", conscious of current "reality"? Well, then, check out for yourself the
"STOA's Publications Web site:
http://www.europarl.eu.int/dg4/stoa/en/publi/publi.htm."
We are fully aware of the fact
that "sublimation", "talking about more pleasant things", "to be positive",
to see things "in a positive way", are the daily watch-words,
however, exactly the above attitudes
have played a decisive ideological role in
nurturing our rabid obscurantism,
our lethal ignorance, our mortal "Sleeping Beauty" dontcareness,
and our fatal carpe diem life style.
Concluding this aspect of Bill's work, we'll explain to you what is happening to the absolute majority of us, by means of an historical analogy. During the epoch of "European Discovery", the ships of the Conquistadors arrived at the coasts of America, Africa and Oceania, and the "natives" playing on the beaches noticed nothing. Only when the small boats appeared in the water, and were rowing towards the shore, could the "aborigines" notice and see anything. Then only, they had a point of reference, as a result of their own canoes.
The world of the "natives" had been exceptionally restricted, limited to their specific environment. In Polynesia, the inhabitants could not imagine where Angola or Guyana were situated on the globe, and, that at that very moment, as a result of an advanced technology, the Europeans were colonizing these "planetary" regions. The Africans in Ghana had no idea about the "accumulation of capital", about the creation of the "world market", and about the "mode of production of slavery". Then, to have taught them all these, to conscientize them, would have been the greatest waste of precious "time" on earth.
Having had to explain to them, about Europe, about the Copernican Revolution, about the Reformation, simply would have been a Sisyphus labour pain. For them to have imagined "15,000 km away", the "Tower", the speed, the "knots" of a ship, all these, and much more, would simply have been out of question. They would simply have considered these "white gods" and their "fairy tales" as something from out of this world. All this has nothing to do with "native ignorance", "underdevelopment" or "backwardness", but simply with other realities, with other degrees of consciousness, of not being "up-to-date" with global, total, earthly processes and production forces.
Now, in our "time", the absolute majority of us -- with reference to modern technology, to the NASA, to Space Colonization, to the "European Parliament", to the global machinations of the United Nations and the United States, the "White House" and the "Pentagon", to the "US Presidential Elections" --, we find ourselves in a similar situation as those natives and aborigines of yestermillennium; even, until today, they were not allowed to arrive at the level of industrial production of feudalist, absolutist Europe; still, they have not even accomplished the bourgeois-democratic revolution. Their ideological superstructure reflects the respective archaic trends and obsolete phenomena. In the Heart of Europe, around the Rockies, something similar is happening with the "consciousness" of the masses, of the working people.
That is why Bill warned:
"Before you decide there is no ether, or no flying saucers, or before you believe the often-told 'prime-time' lies that 'aliens' are here, or that time-travel is possible, you should ask yourself whether or not your thinking on these subjects has been conditioned by Big Brother's Biggest Lies."
