of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men.''

This document articulates the nature of the modern western establishment, its methods and goals, and their final consequences.
The modern western establishment is a vast and cryptic cult that aggressively infiltrates and consolidates positions of social influence and control throughout western civilization, with ambitions that encompass the entire world. It is a functionalistic hierarchy. The greater one's proximity to and involvement with the establishment, and the higher
``Those who formally rule take their signals and commands not from the electorate as a body, but from a small group of men (plus a few women). This group will be called the Establishment. It exists even though that existence is stoutly denied. It is one of the secrets of the American social order. [...] A second secret is the fact that the existence of the Establishment -- the ruling class -- is not supposed to be discussed.''
-Arthur S. Miller, George Washington University law professor (deceased)
The term ``hierarchy'' etymologically means ``sacred rule'', but has come to denote any pyramid- like acyclic network arrangement. The root is instructive, however: theistic religions are power structures in which adherents pledge obedience to an illusory god or gods, but (inevitably) obey the commandments of men who duck accountability by dint of their god ruse. For comparison, the ruse by which the modern establishment ducks accountability is the committee, and the members of these committees believe they wield god-like powers to command humanity and define right and wrong. A key commonality is a pathological inability to recognize that the laws of nature are constant.
The establishment has no master plan. Components of the establishment periodically attempt to promulgate such plans, but this is inherently ineffective.
The preeminent establishment commandment is that one not acknowledge or articulate the broad nature of the establishment, or its methods and goals. Members of the establishment act in a manner informed by covert knowledge of methods and goals, but this knowledge is evident only to those who already possess it. The establishment introduces many of its inductees to the policy of tight lips through shared rituals of a humiliating and often pathologically sexual character (in college fraternities, and historically, in brotherhoods such as the Freemasons) that few participants would deign to discuss, even with those who have already undergone them, except by brief cryptic reference.
The establishment facilitates the ascent of those in whom they recognize covert knowledge and a congenial modus operandi, endowing a rising balance of social capital for such people unless they betray the establishment. This rewards and fosters loyalty.
The higher one's position in the hierarchy, the broader is the range of methods and goals one is permitted and expected to recognize consciously (though without explicitly communicating them).
``There does exist and has existed for a generation, an international Anglophile network which operates, to some extent, in the way the radical Right believes the Communists act. In fact, this network, which we may identify as the Round Table groups, has no aversion to cooperating with the Communists, or any other groups, and frequently does so.
I know of the operations of this network because I have studied it for 20 years and was permitted for two years, in the early 1960s, to examine its papers and secret record.
-Carroll Quigley, Georgetown University history professor (deceased), in Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time, 1966, p.950
[...] In addition to these pragmatic goals, the powers of financial capitalism had another far- reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences. The apex of the system was the Bank for International Settlements in Basle, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the worlds' central banks which were themselves private corporations. The growth of financial capitalism made possible a centralization of world economic control and use of this power for the direct benefit of financiers and the indirect injury of all other economic groups.''
-Tragedy and Hope, p.324
``... I am now quite sure that Tragedy and Hope was suppressed although I do not know why or by whom...''
-Carroll Quigley, in a letter to a friend
However, no one in the establishment is permitted to recognize all of them, or the broadest ones and their final consequences. It would in any case be paradoxical (in fact, plain evidence of grave psychopathology) to recognize the broadest goals of the establishment, yet remain aligned with it, since this recognition is intrinsically accompanied by a recognition of one's own individual prowess, and of the hopelessness and Thanatos of the establishment.
A member of the establishment who defies its commandments in an obvious and visible fashion, or defies any key commandment, or who consistently defies commandments, is ejected whenever it is feasible to do so without causing net injury to the interests of the establishment (most vitally, to its covertness). Ejection is by social ostracism, denial of insider privileges and immunities, sometimes by various forms of deliberate and punitive economic, legal, and political harassment, oppression, and deprivation, and on rare occasions, by assassination.
The ejection of people who recognize the broadest goals of the establishment, and of people who overtly communicate its methods and goals - in short, of sentient individuals - tends to expel ideas that lead to such awareness and communication. In time, the establishment becomes a collection of people and ideas that scrupulously precludes the possibility of conscious awareness of establishment methods, goals, and consequences. The cult becomes ever more cryptic, ever more effective at defying investigation and exposure, ever more thorough in evading accountability. In short, the secrecy of broad establishment programs is secured by depriving the whole of the establishment of conscious awareness thereof. This is key to the success the establishment enjoys, however modest and temporary it is. It has an ironic corollary, however. In time, members of the establishment lose the ability to discern what is and is not permissible and advisable to openly articulate. They make statements that reveal grave establishment secrets. These statements can be collected and compiled (as in this compilation) to document the nature of the establishment in the words of its own members.
