Indeed, around 2010 Wikileaks seemed to be blatantly 'leaking' cables that provided support for US intervention in the Middle East - so much so that it seemed Wikileaks had become another tool with which to insert unverifiable lies into public discourse.Crosbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02005295490663931940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-47940599834005683072016-11-10T15:36:00.848+00:002016-11-10T15:36:00.848+00:00@William - I regard it as a simple fact that the g...@William - I regard it as a simple fact that the great majority of university and college graduates are actively damaged by the experience - spiritually of course, but also in terms of skills and knowledge (i.e. they forget more than they learn; and emerge with no extra skills but a lot of new bad habits).

I'm quite serious. The more intelligent, as in intellectually trained (or conditioned) one is, the less one's natural instincts develop. The modern intelligentsia are practically without exception the most spiritually deluded of people. Exceptions might be made for proper scientific training but that's about all.<br /><br />Of course, I didn't go to university so I may be prejudiced!William Wildbloodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13231219533755925897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-146928579425153152016-11-10T14:02:29.815+00:002016-11-10T14:02:29.815+00:00@George: "How is this elite behavior a thing?...@George: "How is this elite behavior a thing? Is it some kind of demonic initiation where they become acclimated to it?"<br /><br />My understanding is that there is a complex (and only vaguely understood) mixture of a minority of demonic possessed individuals; those 'initiates' who have pledged themselves to serve evil (these are the only ones who purposively pursue evil = the strategic destruction of The Good) -- and a much larger number of people who are roped-in by their un-repented sins, desires (pride, lust, greed, sadism etc), and cowardice...<br /><br />Plus a mass of people who have forgotten or reject God, and therefore (because Man cannot survive spiritually or even biologically, without religion) have become both psychotic (deluded, out of touch with reality) and also unable to resist short-term expediency (because they have no compelling reason to do so, nothing to lend courage).<br /><br />All this is critically worsened by wholesale mass media addiction; and the immersion in a manipulative false-reality. <br /><br />I don't think decline of genetic quality (mutation accumulation) has much to do with this - because the process got going in the ages of genius, and was indeed driven by many bad geniuses. In The West now, evil is positively correlated with intelligence. <br /><br />It is therefore actually possible that genetic decline may eventually lead to a spiritual awakening and the restoration of religion (ie it may be spiritually beneficial, leading to mass repentance; even when it is materially a mega-disaster in terms of human suffering).

Is mutation accumulation severely widespread or somehow selected for in the elites? The Saville stuff seems incomprehensible and scary to a "normal" person.Georgenoreply@blogger.com
