SECURITY
It is patently impossible to discuss social engineering or the automation of
a society, i.e., the engineering of social automation systems (SILENT WEAPONS)
on a NATIONAL or WORLDWIDE SCALE without implying extensive OBJECTIVES of SOCIAL
CONTROL and DESTRUCTION OF HUMAN LIFE, i.e., SLAVERY and GENOCIDE.
This manual is in itself an analog declaration of intent. Such a writing must
be SECURED FROM PUBLIC SCRUTINY. Otherwise, it might be recognized as a TECHNICALLY
FORMAL DECLARATION OF DOMESTIC WAR. Furthermore, whenever any person or group
of persons in a position of great power and WITHOUT FULL KNOWLEDGE and CONSENT
OF THE PUBLIC, USES SUCH KNOWLEDGE and METHODOLOGY FOR ECONOMIC CONQUEST - it
must be understood that A STATE OF DOMESTIC WARFARE EXISTS between said person
or group of persons and the public.
The SOLUTION of today's PROBLEMS REQUIRES an approach which is RUTHLESSLY CANDID,
with NO AGONIZING OVER RELIGIOUS, MORAL or CULTURAL VALUES.
YOU have QUALIFIED for this project BECAUSE of your ABILITY to LOOK at HUMAN
SOCIETY with COLD OBJECTIVITY, and yet analyze and DISCUSS your OBSERVATIONS
and CONCLUSIONS with OTHERS of similar INTELLECTUAL capacity WITHOUT a LOSS
of DISCRETION or HUMILITY. Such virtues are exercised in your own best interest.
Do not deviate from them.
HISTORICAL INTRODUCTION
Silent weapon technology has evolved from Operations Research (O.R.), a strategic
and tactical methodology developed under the MILITARY MANAGEMENT [Eisenhower]
in England during World War II. The original purpose of Operations Research
was to study the strategic and tactical problems of air and land defense with
the objective of effective use of limited military resources against foreign
enemies (i.e., logistics). It was soon recognized by those in positions of power
[THE COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS] that the same methods might be useful for
totally controlling a society. But better tools were necessary.
Social engineering (the analysis and automation of a society) requires the correlation
of great amounts of constantly changing economic information (data), so a high-speed
computerized data-processing system was necessary which could race ahead of
the society and predict when society would arrive for capitulation.
Relay computers were too slow, but the electronic computer, invented in 1946
by J. Presper Eckert and John W. Mauchly, filled the bill.
The next breakthrough was the development of the simplex method of linear programming
in 1947 by the mathematician George B. Dantzig.
Then in 1948, the transistor, invented by J. Bardeen, W. H. Brattain, and W.
Shockley, promised great expansion of the computer field by reducing space and
power requirements.
With these three inventions under their direction, those in positions of power
strongly suspected that it was possible for them to control the whole world
with the push of a button.
Immediately, the ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION got in on the ground floor by making
a four-year grant to HARVARD COLLEGE, funding the HARVARD ECONOMIC RESEARCH
PROJECT for the study of the structure of the American economy. One year later,
in 1949, THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE joined in.
In 1952 the original grant period terminated, and a high-level meeting of the
ELITE [Illuminati] was held to determine the next phase of social operations
research. The Harvard project had been very fruitful, as is borne out by the
publication of some of its results in 1953 suggesting the feasibility of economic
(social) engineering. (Studies in the Structure of the
American Economy -copyright 1953 by Wassily Leontief, International Sciences
Press Inc., White Plains, New York.)
Engineered in the last half of the decade of the 1940s, the new Quiet War machine
stood, so to speak, in sparkling gold-plated hardware on the showroom floor
by 1954.
With the creation of the maser in 1954, the promise of unlocking UNLIMITED SOURCES
OF FUSION ATOMIC ENERGY FROM THE HEAVY HYDROGEN IN SEA WATER and the consequent
availability of unlimited social power was a possibility only decades away.
The combination was irresistible.
The QUIET WAR was quietly DECLARED by the INTERNATIONAL ELITE [THE BILDERBERG
GROUP] at a meeting held in 1954. Although the silent weapons system was nearly
exposed 13 years later, the evolution of the new weapon-system has never suffered
any
major setbacks.
This volume marks the 25th anniversary of the beginning of the Quiet War. Already
this domestic war has had many victories on many fronts throughout the world.
POLITICAL INTRODUCTION
In 1954 it was well recognized by those in positions of authority that it was
only a matter of time, only a few decades, before the general public would be
able to grasp and upset the cradle of power, for the very elements of the new
silent-weapon technology were as accessible for a public utopia as they were
for providing a private utopia.
The ISSUE of PRIMARY CONCERN, that of DOMINANCE, revolved around the subject
of the energy sciences.
ENERGY
Energy is recognized as the key to all activity on earth. Natural science is
the study of the sources and control of natural energy, and social science,
theoretically expressed as economics, is the study of the sources and control
of social energy. Both are bookkeeping systems: mathematics.
Therefore, mathematics is the primary energy science. And the book-keeper can
be king if the public can be kept ignorant of the methodology of the bookkeeping.
All science is merely a means to an end. The means is knowledge. The end is
control. [THE END ALWAYS JUSTIFIES THE MEANS.] Beyond this remains only one
issue: Who will be the beneficiary?
In 1954 this was the issue of primary concern. Although the so-called "moral
issues" were raised, in view of the law of natural selection it was agreed
that a nation or world of people who will not use their intelligence are no
better than animals who do not have intelligence. Such people are beasts of
burden and steaks on the table by choice and consent.
CONSEQUENTLY, in the interest of future world order, peace, and tranquility,
it was decided to privately wage a quiet war against the American public with
an ultimate objective of permanently shifting the natural and social energy
(wealth) of the undisciplined and irresponsible many into the hands of the self-disciplined,
responsible, and worthy few.
In order to implement this objective, it was necessary to create, secure, and
apply new weapons which, as it turned out, were a class of weapons so subtle
and sophisticated in their principle of operation and public appearance as to
earn for themselves the name "silent weapons."
In conclusion, the objective of economic research, as conducted by the magnates
of capital (banking) and the industries of commodities (goods) and services,
is the establishment of an economy which is totally predictable and manipulatible.
In order to achieve a totally predictable economy, the low-class elements of
the society must be brought under total control, Le., must be housebroken, trained,
and assigned a yoke and long-term social duties from a very early age, before
they have an opportunity to question the
propriety of the matter. In order to achieve such conformity, the lower-class
family unit must be disintegrated by a process of increasing preoccupation of
the parents and the establishment of government-operated day-care centers for
the occupationally orphaned children.
The quality of education given to the lower class must be of the poorest sort,
so that the moat of ignorance isolating the inferior class from the superior
class is and remains incomprehensible to the inferior class.
With such an initial handicap, even bright lower Class individuals have little
if any hope of extricating themselves from their assigned lot in life.
This form of slavery is essential to maintaining some measure of social order,
peace, and tranquility for the ruling upper class.
DESCRIPTIVE INTRODUCTION OF THE SILENT WEAPON
Everything that is expected from an ordinary weapon is expected from a silent
weapon by its creators, but only in its own manner of junctioning.
It shoots situations, instead of bullets; propelled by data processing, instead
of a chemical reaction (explosion); originating from bits of data, instead of
grains of gunpowder; from a computer, instead of a gun; operated by a computer
programmer, instead of a marksman; under the orders of a banking magnate, instead
of a military general.
It makes no obvious explosive noises, causes no obvious physical or mental injuries,
and does not obviously interfere with anyone's daily social life.
Yet it makes an unmistakable "noise," causes unmistakable physical
and mental damage, and unmistakably interferes with daily social life, ie.,
unmistakable to a trained observer, one who knows what to look for.
The public cannot comprehend this weapon, and therefore cannot believe that
they are being attacked and subdued by a weapon. The public might instinctively
feel that something is wrong [ISN'T THAT THE TRUTH?] but because of the technical
nature of the silent weapon, they cannot express their feeling in a rational
way, or handle the problem with intelligence. Therefore, they do not know how
to cry for help, and do not know how to associate with others to defend themselves
against it.
When a silent weapon is applied gradually, the public adjusts/adapts to its
presence and learns to tolerate its encroachment on their lives until the pressure
(psychological via economic) becomes too great and they crack up.
Therefore, the silent weapon is a type of biological warfare. It attacks the
vitality, options, and mobility of the individuals of a society by knowing,
understanding, manipulating, and attacking their sources of natural and social
energy, and their physical, mental, and emotional strengths and weaknesses.
THEORETICAL INTRODUCTION
Give me control over a nation's currency, and I care not who makes its laws.
-Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1743 -1812)
Today's silent weapons technology is an outgrowth of a simple idea discovered,
succinctly expressed, and effectively applied by the quoted Mr. Mayer Amschel
Rothschild. Mr. Rothschild discovered the missing passive component of economic
theory known as economic inductance. He, of course, did not think of his discovery
in these 20th-century terms, and, to be sure, mathematical analysis had to wait
for the Second Industrial Revolution, the rise of the theory of mechanics and
electronics, and finally, the invention of the electronic computer before it
could be effectively applied in the control of the world economy.
GENERAL ENERGY CONCEPTS
In the study of energy systems, there always appear three elementary concepts.
These are potential energy, kinetic energy, and energy dissipation. And corresponding
to these concepts, there are three idealized, essentially pure physical counterparts
called passive components.
(1) In the science of physical mechanics, the phenomenon of potential energy
is associated with a physical property called elasticity or stiffness, and can
be represented by a stretched spring.
In electronic science, potential energy is stored in a capacitor instead of
a spring. This property is called capacitance instead of elasticity or stiffness.
(2) In the science of physical mechanics, the phenomenon of kinetic energy is
associated with a physical property called inertia or mass, and can be represented
by a mass or a flywheel in motion.
In electronic science, kinetic energy is stored in an inductor (in a magnetic
field) instead of a mass. This property is called inductance instead of inertia.
(3) In the science of physical mechanics, the phenomenon of energy dissipation
is associated with a physical property called friction or resistance, and can
be represented by a dashpot or other device which converts system energy into
heat.
In electronic science, dissipation of energy is performed by an element called
either a resistor or a conductor, the term "resistor" being the one
generally used to express the concept of friction, and the term "conductor"
being generally used to describe a more ideal device (e.g., wire) employed to
convey electronic energy efficiently from one location to another. The property
of a resistance or conductor is measured as either resistance or conductance
reciprocals.
In economics these three energy concepts are associated with:
(1) Economic Capacitance -Capital (money, stock/inventory, investments in buildings
and durables, etc.)
(2) Economic Conductance -Goods (production flow coefficients)
(3) Economic Inductance -Services (the influence of the population of industry
on output)
All of the mathematical theory developed in the study of one energy system (e.g.,
mechanics, electronics, etc.) can be immediately applied in the study of any
other energy system (e.g., economics).
MR. ROTHSCHILD'S ENERGY DISCOVERY
What Mr. Rothschild had discovered was the basic principle of power, influence,
and control over people as applied to economics. That principle is "when
you assume the appearance of power, people soon give it to you."
Mr. Rothschild had discovered that currency or deposit loan accounts had the
required appearance of power that could be used to INDUCE PEOPLE [WC emphasis]
(inductance, with people corresponding to a magnetic field) into surrendering
their real wealth in exchange for a promise of greater wealth (instead of real
compensation). They would put up real collateral in exchange for a loan of promissory
notes. Mr. Rothschild found that he could issue more notes than he had backing
for, so long as he had someone's stock of gold as a persuader to show to his
customers.
Mr. Rothschild loaned his promissory notes to individuals and to governments.
These would create overconfidence. Then he would make money scarce, tighten
control of the system, and collect the collateral through the obligation of
contracts. The cycle was then repeated. These pressures could be used to ignite
a war. Then he would control the availability of currency to determine who would
win the war. That government which agreed to give him control of its economic
system got his support.
Collection of debts was guaranteed by economic aid to the enemy of the debtor.
The profit derived from this economic methodology made Mr. Rothschild all the
more able to extend his wealth. He found that the public greed would allow currency
to be printed by government order BEYOND THE LIMITS [WC emphasis] (inflation)
of backing in precious metal or the production of goods and services (gross
national product, GNP).
APPARENT CAPITAL AS "PAPER " INDUCTOR
In this structure, credit, presented as a pure element called "currency,"
has the appearance of capital, but is, in fact, negative capital. Hence, it
has the appearance of service, but is, in fact, indebtedness or debt. It is
therefore an economic inductance instead of an economic capacitance, and if
balanced in no other way, will be balanced by the negation of population (war,
genocide). The total goods and services represent real capital called the gross
national product, and currency may be printed up to this level and still represent
economic capacitance; but currency printed beyond this level is subtractive,
represents the introduction of economic inductance, and constitutes notes of
indebtedness.
War is therefore the balancing of the system by killing the true creditors (the
public which we have taught to exchange true value for inflated currency) and
falling back on whatever is left of the resources of nature and regeneration
of those resources.
Mr. Rothschild had discovered that currency gave him the power to rearrange
the economic structure to his own advantage, to shift economic inductance to
those economic positions which would encourage the greatest economic instability
and oscillation.
The final key to economic control had to wait until there was sufficient data
and high-speed computing equipment to keep close watch on the economic oscillations
created by price shocking and excess paper energy credits - paper inductance/inflation.
BREAKTHROUGH
The aviation field provided the greatest evolution in economic engineering by
way of the mathematical theory of shock testing. In this process, a projectile
is fired from an airframe on the ground and the impulse of the recoil is monitored
by vibration transducers connected to
the airframe and wired to chart recorders.
By studying the echoes or reflections of the recoil impulse in the airframe,
it is possible to discover critical vibrations in the structure of the airframe
which either vibrations of the engine or aeolian vibrations of the wings, or
a combination of the two, might reinforce resulting in a resonant self-destruction
of the airframe in flight as an aircraft. From the standpoint of engineering,
this means that the strengths and weaknesses of the structure of the airframe
in terms of vibrational energy can be discovered and manipulated.
APPLICATION IN ECONOMICS
To use this method of airframe shock testing in economic engineering, the prices
of commodities are shocked, and the public consumer reaction is monitored. The
resulting echoes of the economic shock are interpreted theoretically by computers
and the psycho-economic structure of the economy is thus discovered. It is by
this process that partial differential and difference matrices are discovered
that define the family household and make possible its evaluation as an economic
industry (dissipative consumer structure).
Then the response of the household to future shocks can be predicted and manipulated,
and society becomes a well-regulated animal with its reins under the control
of a sophisticated computer-regulated social energy bookkeeping system.
Eventually every individual element of the structure comes under computer control
through a knowledge of personal preferences, such knowledge guaranteed by computer
association of consumer preferences (universal product code - UPC - zebra-stripe
pricing codes on packages) with identified consumers (identified via association
with the use of a credit card and LATER A PERMANENT "TATTOOED" BODY
NUMBER [WC emphasis] invisible under normal ambient illumination
THE ECONOMIC MODEL
...The Harvard Economic Research Project (1948-) was an extension of World War
II Operations Research. Its purpose was to discover the science of controlling
an economy: at first the American economy, and then the world economy. It was
felt that with sufficient mathematical foundation and data, it would be nearly
as easy to predict and control the trend of an economy as to predict and control
the trajectory of a projectile. Such has proven to be the case. Moreover, the
economy has been transformed into a guided missile on target.
The immediate aim of the Harvard project was to discover the economic structure,
what forces change that structure, how the behavior of the structure can be
predicted, and how it can be manipulated. What was needed was a well-organized
knowledge of the mathematical structures and interrelationships of investment,
production, distribution, and consumption.
To make a short story of it all, it was discovered that an economy obeyed the
same laws as electricity and that all of the mathematical theory and practical
and computer know-how developed for the electronic field could be directly applied
in the study of economics. This discovery was not openly declared, and its more
subtle implications were and are kept a closely guarded secret, for example
that in an economic model, human life is measured in dollars, and that the electric
spark generated when opening a switch connected to an active inductor is mathematically
analogous to the initiation of a war.
The greatest hurdle which theoretical economists faced was the accurate description
of the household as an industry. This is a challenge because consumer purchases
are a matter of choice which in turn is influenced by income, price, and other
economic factors.
This hurdle was cleared in an indirect and statistically approximate way by
an application of shock testing to determine the current characteristics, called
current technical coefficients, of a household industry.
Finally, because problems in theoretical economics can be translated very easily
into problems in theoretical electronics, and the solution translated back again,
it follows that only a book of language translation and concept definition needed
to be written for economics. The remainder could be gotten from standard works
on mathematics and electronics. This makes the publication of books on advanced
economics unnecessary, and greatly simplifies project security.
INDUSTRIAL DIAGRAMS
An ideal industry is defined as a device which receives value from other industries
in several forms and converts [it] into one specific product for sales and distribution
to other industries. It has several inputs and one output. What the public normally
thinks of as one industry is really an industrial complex where several industries
under one roof produce one or more products
THREE INDUSTRIAL CLASSES
Industries fall into three categories or classes by type of output:
Class #1 -Capital (resources)
Class #2 -Goods (commodities or use -dissipative)
Class #3 -Services (action of population)
Class #1 industries exist at three levels:
(1) Nature- sources of energy and raw materials.
(2) Government -printing of currency equal to gross national product (GNP),
and extension (inflation) of currency in excess of GNP.
(3) Banking -loaning of money for interest, and extension (inflation/counterfeiting)
of economic value through deposit loan accounts.
Class #2 industries exist as producers of tangible or consumer (dissipated)
products. This sort of activity is usually recognized and labeled by the public
as an "industry."
Class #3 industries are those which have service rather than a tangible product
as their output. These industries are called (1) households, and (2) governments.
Their output is human activity of a mechanical sort, and their basis is population.
AGGREGATION
The whole economic system can be represented by a three-industry model if one
allows the names of the outputs to be (1) capital, (2) goods, and (3) services.
The problem with this representation is that it would not show the influence
of, say, the textile industry on the ferrous metal industry. This is because
both the textile industry and the ferrous metal industry would be contained
within a single classification called the "goods industry" and by
this process of combining or aggregating these two industries under one system
block they would lose their economic individuality.
THE E-MODEL
A national economy consists of simultaneous flows of production, distribution,
consumption, and investment. If all of these elements including labor and human
functions are assigned a numerical value in like units of measure, say, 1939
dollars, then this flow can be further represented by a current flow in an electronic
circuit, and its behavior can be predicted and manipulated with useful precision.
The three ideal passive energy components of electronics, the capacitor, the
resistor, and the inductor correspond to the three ideal passive energy components
of economics called the pure industries of capital, goods, and services, respectively.
Economic capacitance represents the storage of capital in one form or another.
Economic conductance represents the level of conductance of materials for the
production of goods.
Economic inductance represents the inertia of economic value in motion. This
is a population phenomenon known as services.
ECONOMIC INDUCTANCE
An electrical inductor (e.g., a coil of wire) has an electric current as its
primary phenomenon and a magnetic field as its secondary phenomenon (inertia).
Corresponding to this, an economic inductor has a flow of economic value as
its primary phenomenon and a population field as its secondary phenomenon of
inertia. When the flow of economic value (e.g., money) diminishes, the human
population field collapses in order to keep the economic value (money) flowing
(extreme case-war).
This public inertia is a result of consumer buying habits, expected standard
of living, etc., and is generally a phenomenon of self-preservation.
INDUCTIVE FACTORS TO CONSIDER
(1) Population
(2) Magnitude of the economic activities of the government
(3) The method of financing these government activities
(See Peter-Paul Principle -inflation of the currency.)
TRANSLATION
(A few examples will be given.)
Charge- coulombs -dollars (1939).
Flow /Current -amperes (coulombs per second) -dollars of flow per year.
Motivating Force -volts -dollars (output) demand.
Conductance -amperes per volt- dollars of flow per year per dollar demand.
Capacitance -coulombs per volt -dollars of production inventory/stock per dollar
demand.
TIME FLOW
RELATIONSHIPS AND
SELF -DESTRUCTIVE OSCILLATIONS
An ideal industry may be symbolized electronically in various ways. The simplest
way is to represent a demand by a voltage and a supply by a current. When this
is done, the relationship between the two becomes what is called an admittance,
which can result from three economic factors:
(1) hindsight flow, (2) present flow, and (3) foresight flow.
Foresight flow is the result of that property of living entities to cause energy
(food) to be stored for a period of low energy (e.g., a winter season).
It consists of demands made upon an economic system for that period of low energy
(winter season).
In a production industry it takes several forms, one of which is known as production
stock or inventory. In electronic symbology this specific industry demand (a
pure capital industry) is represented by capacitance and the stock or resource
is represented by a stored charge. Satisfaction of an industry demand suffers
a lag because of the loading effect of inventory
priorities.
Present flow ideally involves no delays. It is, so to speak, input today for
output today, a "hand to mouth" flow. In electronic symbology, this
specific industry demand (a pure use industry) is represented by a conductance
which is then a simple economic valve (a dissipative element).
Hindsight flow is known as habit or inertia. In electronics this phenomenon
is the characteristic of an inductor (economic analog = a pure service industry)
in which a current flow (economic analog = flow of money) creates a magnetic
field (economic analog = active human population) which, if the current (money
flow) begins to diminish, collapse (war) to maintain the current (flow of money
-energy).
Other large alternatives to war as economic inductors or economic flywheels
are an open-ended social welfare program, or an ENORMOUS (but fruitful) OPEN-ENDED
SPACE PROGRAM [WC emphases].
The problem with stabilizing the economic system is that there is too much demand
on account of (1) too much greed and (2) too much population.
This creates excessive economic inductance which can only be balanced with economic
capacitance (true resources or value -e.g., in goods or services}.
The social welfare program is nothing more than an open-ended credit balance
system which creates a false capital industry to give nonproductive people a
roof over their heads and food in their stomachs. This can be useful, however,
because the recipients become state property in return for the "gut,"
a standing army for the elite. For he who pays the piper picks the tune.
Those who get hooked on the economic drug, must go to the elite for a fix. In
this, the method of introducing large amounts of stabilizing capacitance is
by borrowing on the future "credit" of the world. This is a fourth
law of motion -onset, and consists of performing an action and leaving the system
before the reflected reaction returns to the point of action - a delayed reaction.
The means of surviving the reaction is by changing the system before the reaction
can return. By this means, politicians become popular in their own time and
the public pays for it later. In fact, the measure of such a politician is the
delay time.
The same thing is achieved by a government by printing money beyond the limit
of the gross national product, an economic process called inflation. [Note:
REMEMBER THAT INFLATION IS ONLY THE ACT OF PRINTING MONEY IN EXCESS OF GROSS
NATIONAL PRODUCT. THEY COULD BLAME IT ON THE PRICE OF WIDGETS OR OIL ONLY BECAUSE
YOU NEVER KNEW THE REAL CAUSE. THE REAL CAUSE
AND THE ONLY CAUSE OF INFLATION IS THE PRINTING OF MORE MONEY BEYOND THE GROSS
NATIONAL PRODUCT.] This puts a large quantity of money into the hands of the
public and maintains a balance against their greed, creates a false self-confidence
in them and, for awhile, stays the wolf from the door.
They must eventually resort to war to balance the account, because war ultimately
is merely the act of destroying the creditor, and the politicians are the publicly
hired hit men that justify the act to keep the responsibility and blood off
the public conscience. (See section on consent factors and social-economic structuring.)
If the people really cared about their fellow man, they would control their
appetites (greed, procreation, etc.) so that they would not have to operate
on a credit or welfare social system which steals from the worker to satisfy
the bum.
Since most of the general public will not exercise restraint, there are only
two alternatives to reduce the economic inductance of the system.
(1) Let the populace bludgeon each other to death in war, which will only result
in a total destruction of the living earth.
(2) Take control of the world by the use of economic "silent weapons"
in a form of "quiet warfare" and reduce the economic inductance of
the world to a safe level by a process of benevolent slavery and genocide.
The latter option has been taken as the obviously better option. At this point
it should be crystal clear to the reader why absolute secrecy about the silent
weapons is necessary. The general public refuses to improve its own mentality
and its faith in its fellow man. It has become a herd of proliferating barbarians,
and, so to speak, a blight upon the face of the earth.
They do not care enough about economic science to learn why they have not been
able to avoid war despite religious morality, and their religious or self-gratifying
refusal to deal with earthly problems renders the solution of the earthly problem
unreachable by them.
It is left to those few who are truly willing to think and survive as the fittest
to survive, to solve the problem for themselves as the few who really care.
Otherwise, exposure of the silent weapon would destroy our only hope of preserving
the seed of future true humanity
THE HOUSEHOLD INDUSTRY
The industries of finance (banking), manufacturing, and government, real counterparts
of the pure industries of capital, goods, and services, are easily defined because
they are generally logically structured. Because of this their processes can
be described mathematically and their technical coefficients can be easily deduced.
This, however, is not the case with the service industry known as the household
industry.
HOUSEHOLD MODELS
...The problem which a theoretical economist faces is that the consumer preferences
of any household is not easily predictable and the technical coefficients of
anyone household tend to be a nonlinear, very complex, and variable function
of income, prices, etc.
Computer information derived from the use of the universal product code in conjunction
with credit-card purchase as an individual household identifier could change
this state of affairs, but the U.P.C. method is not yet available on a national
or even a significant regional scale. To compensate for this data deficiency,
an alternate indirect approach of analysis has been adopted known as economic
shock testing. This method, widely used in the aircraft manufacturing industry,
develops an aggregate statistical sort of data.
Applied to economics, this means that all of the households in one region or
in the whole nation are studied as a group or class rather than individually,
and the mass behavior rather than individual behavior is used to discover useful
estimates of the technical coefficients governing the economic structure of
the hypothetical single-household industry One method of evaluating the technical
coefficients of the household industry depends upon shocking the prices of a
commodity and noting the changes in the sales of all of the commodities.
ECONOMIC SHOCK TESTING
In recent times, the application of Operations Research to the study of the
public economy has been obvious for anyone who understands the principles of
shock testing.
In the shock testing of an aircraft airframe, the recoil impulse of firing a
gun mounted on that airframe causes shock waves in that structure which tell
aViation engineers the conditions under which parts of the airplane or the whole
airplane or its wings will start to vibrate or flutter like a guitar string,
a flute reed, or a tuning fork, and disintegrate or fall apart in flight.
Economic engineers achieve the same result in studying the behavior of the economy
and the consumer public by carefully selecting a staple commodity such as beef,
coffee, gasoline, or sugar, and then causing a sudden change or shock in its
price or availability, thus kicking everybody's budget and buying habits out
of shape.
They then observe the shock waves which result by monitoring the changes in
advertising, prices, and sales of that and other commodities.
The objective of such studies is to acquire the know-how to set the public economy
into a predictable state of motion or change, even a controlled self-destructive
state of motion which will convince the public that certain "expert"
people should take control of the money system and reestablish security (rather
than liberty and justice) for all. When the subject citizens are rendered unable
to control their financial affairs, they, of course, become totally enslaved,
a source of cheap labor.
Not only the prices of commodities, but also the availability of labor can be
used as the means of shock testing. Labor strikes deliver excellent tests shocks
to an economy, especially in the critical service areas of trucking (transportation),
communication, public utilities (energy, water, garbage collection) , etc.
By shock testing, it is found that there is a direct relationship between the
availability of money flowing in an economy and the psychological outlook and
response of masses of people dependent upon that availability.
For example, there is a measurable quantitative relationship between the price
of gasoline and the probability that a person would experience a headache, feel
a need to watch a violent movie, smoke a cigarette, or go to a tavern for a
mug of beer.
It is most interesting that, by observing and measuring the economic modes by
which the public tries to run from their problems and escape from reality, and
by applying the mathematical theory of Operations Research, it is possible to
program computers to predict the most probable combination of created events
(shocks) which will bring about a complete control and subjugation of the public
through a subversion of the public economy (by shaking the plum tree)
INTRODUCTION TO ECONOMIC AMPLIFIERS
Economic amplifiers are the active components of economic engineering. The basic
characteristic of any amplifier (mechanical, electrical, or economic) is that
it receives an input control signal and delivers energy from an independent
energy source to a specified output terminal in a predictable relationship to
that input control signal. .
The simplest form of economic amplifier is a device called advertising.
If a person is spoken to by a T. V. advertiser as if he were a twelve-year-old,
then, due to suggestibility, he will, with a certain probability, respond or
react to that suggestion with the uncritical response of a twelve-year-old and
will reach into his economic reservoir and deliver its energy to buy that product
on impulse when he passes it in the store.
An economic amplifier may have several inputs and outputs. Its response might
be instantaneous or delayed. Its circuit symbol might be a rotary switch if
its options are exclusive, qualitative, I/go" or "no go," or
it might have its parametric input/ output relationships specified by a matrix
with internal energy sources represented.
Whatever its form might be, its purpose is to govern the flow of energy from
a source to an output sink in direct relationship to an input control signal.
For this reason, it is called an active circuit element or component. Economic
Amplifiers fall into classes called strategies, and, in comparison with electronic
amplifiers, the specific internal functions of an economic amplifier are called
logistical instead of electrical.
Therefore, economic amplifiers not only deliver power gain but also, in effect,
are used to cause changes in the economic circuitry.
In the design of an economic amplifier we must have some idea of at least five
functions, which are
(1) the available input signals,
(2) the desired output-control objectives,
(3) the strategic objective,
(4) the available economic power sources,
(5) the logistical options.
The process of defining and evaluating these factors and incorporating the economic
amplifier into an economic system has been popularly called GAME THEORY [WC
emphasis].
The design of an economic amplifier begins with a specification of the power
level of the output, which can range from personal to national. The second condition
is accuracy of response, ie., how accurately the output action is a function
of the input commands. High gain combined with strong feedback helps to deliver
the required precision.
Most of the error will be in the input data signal. Personal input data tends
to be specific, while national input data tends to be statistical.

[WC: Ultimate objective -New World Order]
DIVERSION, THE PRIMARY STRATEGY
Experience has proven that the SIMPLEST METHOD of securing a silent weapon and
gaining control of the public is to KEEP THE PUBLIC UNDISCIPLINED AND IGNORANT
of basic systems principles on the one hand, WHILE KEEPING THEM CONFUSED, DISORGANIZED,
AND DISTRACTED with matters of no real importance on the other hand. [WC all
emphases.]
This is achieved by:
(1) disengaging their minds; sabotaging their mental activities; providing a
low-quality program of public education in mathematics, logic, systems design
and economics; and discouraging technical creativity.
(2) engaging their emotions, increasing their self-indulgence and their indulgence
in emotional and physical activities, by:
(a) unrelenting emotional affrontations and attacks (mental and emotional rape)
by way of a constant barrage of sex, violence, and wars in the media -especially
the T. V. and the newspapers.
(b) giving them what they desire -in excess -"junk food for thought"
-and depriving them of what they really need.
(3) REWRITING HISTORY and LAW and SUBJECTING THE PUBLIC TO THE DEVIANT CREATION,
thus being able to SHIFT THEIR THINKING from personal needs to highly fabricated
outside priorities. [WC all emphases.]
These preclude their interest in and discovery of the silent weapons of social
automation technology.
The general rule is that there is profit in confusion; the more confusion, the
more profit. Therefore, the best approach is to create problems and then offer
the solutions.
DIVERSION SUMMARY
Media: Keep the adult public attention diverted away from the real social issues,
and captivated by matters of no real importance.
Schools: Keep the young public ignorant of real mathematics, real economics,
rea1 1aw, and REAL HISTORY [WC emphasis].
Entertainment: Keep the public entertainment below a sixth-grade level.
Work: Keep the public busy, busy, busy, with no time to think; back on the farm
with the other animals.
CONSENT, THE PRIMARY VICTORY
A silent weapon system operates upon data obtained from a docile public by legal
(but not always lawful) force. Much information is made available to silent
weapon systems programmers through the Internal Revenue Service. (See Studies
in the Structure oof the American Economy for a I.R.S. source list.)
This information consists of the enforced delivery of well-organized data contained
in federal and state tax forms collected, assembled, and submitted by slave
labor provided by taxpayers and employers.
Furthermore, the number of such forms submitted to the I.R.S. is a useful indicator
of public consent, an important factor in strategic decision making. Other data
sources are given in the Short list of Inputs.
Consent Coefficients -numerical feedback indicating victory status.
Psychological basis: When the government is able to collect tax and seize private
property without just compensation, it is an indication that the public is ripe
for surrender and is consenting to enslavement and legal encroachment. A good
and easily quantified indicator of harvest time is the number of public citizens
who pay income tax despite an obvious lack of reciprocal or honest service from
the government.
AMPLIFICATION ENERGY SOURCES
The next step in the process of designing an economic amplifier is discovering
the energy sources. The energy sources which support any primitive economic
system are, of course, a supply of raw materials, and the consent of the people
to labor and consequently assume a certain rank, position, level, or class in
the social structure; ie., to provide labor at various levels in the pecking
order.
Each class, in guaranteeing its own level of income, controls the class immediately
below it, hence preserves the class structure. This provides stability and security,
but also government from the top.
As time goes on and communication and education improve, the lower-class elements
of the social labor structure become knowledgeable and envious of the good things
that the upper-class members have. They also begin to attain a knowledge of
energy systems and the ability to enforce their rise through the class structure.
This threatens the sovereignty of the elite.
If this rise of the lower classes can be postponed long enough, the elite can
achieve energy dominance, and LABOR BY CONSENT NO LONGER WILL HOLD A POSITION
[WC emphasis] of an essential economic energy source.
Until such energy dominance is absolutely established, the consent of people
to labor and let others handle their affairs must be taken into consideration,
since failure to do so could cause the people to interfere in the final transfer
of energy sources to the control of the elite.
It is essential to recognize that at this time, public consent is still an essential
key to the release of energy in the process of economic amplification.
Therefore, consent as an energy release mechanism will now be considered.
LOGISTICS
The successful application of a strategy requires a careful study of inputs,
outputs, the strategy connecting the inputs and the outputs, and the available
energy sources to fuel the strategy. This study is called logistics.
A logistical problem is studied at the elementary level first, and then levels
of greater complexity are studied as a synthesis of elementary factors.
This means that a given system is analyzed, i.e., broken down into its subsystems,
and these in turn are analyzed, until, by this process, one arrives at the logistical
"atom," THE INDIVIDUAL [WC emphasis].
This is where the process of SYNTHESIS [WC emphasis] properly begins, and at
the time of the birth of the individual.
THE ARTIFICIAL WOMB
From the time a person leaves its mother's womb, its every effort is directed
toward building, maintaining, and withdrawing into artificial wombs, various
sorts of substitute protective devices or shells.
The objective of these artificial wombs is to provide a stable environment for
both stable and unstable activity; to provide a shelter for the evolutionary
processes of growth and maturity -i.e., survival; to provide security for freedom
and to provide defensive protection for offensive activity.
This is equally true of both the general public and the elite. However, there
is a definite difference in the way each of these classes go about the solution
of problems.
THE POLITICAL STRUCTURE OF A NATION - DEPENDENCY
The primary reason why the individual citizens of a country create a political
structure is a subconscious wish or desire to perpetuate their own dependency
relationship of childhood. Simply put, they want a human god to eliminate all
risk from their life, pat them on the head, kiss their bruises, put a chicken
on every dinner table, clothe their bodies, tuck them into bed at night, and
tell them that everything will be alright [sic] when they wake up in the morning.
This public demand is incredible, so the human god, the politician, meets incredibility
with incredibility by promising the world and delivering nothing. So who is
the bigger liar? the public? or the "godfather"?
This public behavior is surrender born of fear, laziness, and expediency. It
is the basis of the welfare state as a strategic weapon, useful against a disgusting
public.
ACTION/OFFENSE
Most people want to be able to subdue and/ or kill other human beings which
disturb their daily lives, but they do not want to have to cope with the moral
and religious issues which such an overt act on their part might raise. Therefore,
they assign the dirty work to others (including their own children) so as to
keep the blood off their own hands. They rave about the humane treatment of
animals and then sit down to a delicious hamburger from a whitewashed slaughterhouse
down the street and out of sight. But even more hypocritical, they pay taxes
to finance a professional association of hit men collectively called politicians,
and then complain about corruption in government.
RESPONSIBILITY
Again, most people want to be free to do things (to explore, etc.) but they
are afraid to fail.
The fear of failure is manifested in irresponsibility, and especially in delegating
those personal responsibilities to others where success is uncertain or carries
possible or created liabilities (law) which the person is not prepared to accept.
They want authority (root word -"author"), but they will not accept
responsibility or liability. So they hire politicians to face reality for them.
SUMMARY
The people hire the politicians so that the people can:
(1) obtain security without managing it.
(2) obtain action without thinking about it.
(3) inflict theft, injury, and death upon others without having to contemplate
either life or death.
(4) avoid responsibility for their own intentions.
(5) obtain the benefits of reality and science without exerting themselves in
the discipline of facing or learning either of these things.
They give the politicians the power to create and manage a war machine to:
(1) provide for the survival of the NATION /WOMB.
(2) prevent encroachment of anything upon the NATION /WOMB.
(3) destroy the enemy who threatens the NATION/WOMB.
(4) destroy those citizens of their own country who do not conform for the sake
of stability of the NATION /WOMB.
Politicians hold many quasi-military jobs, the lowest being the police which
are soldiers, the attorneys and the CC.P.A.s next who are spies an saboteurs
(licensed) , and the judges who shout the orders and run the closed union military
shop for whatever the market will bear. The generals are industrialists. The
"presidential" level of commander-in-chief is shared by the international
bankers. The people know that they have created this farce and financed it with
their own taxes (consent), but they would rather knuckle under than be the hypocrite.
Thus, a nation becomes divided into two very distinct parts, a DOCILE SUB-NATION
[great silent majority] and a POLITICAL SUB-NATION.
The political sub-nation remains attached to the docile sub-nation, tolerates
it, and leaches its substance until it grows strong enough to detach itself
and then devour its parent.
SYSTEM ANALYSIS
In order to make meaningful computerized economic decisions about war, the primary
economic flywheel, it is necessary to assign concrete logistical values to each
element of the war structure - personnel and material alike.
This process begins with a clear and candid description of the subsystems of
such a structure.
THE DRAFT
(As military service)
Few efforts of human behavior modification are more remarkable or more effective
than that of the socio-military institution known as the draft.
A primary purpose of a draft or other such institution is to instill, by intimidation,
in the young males of a society the uncritical conviction that the government
is omnipotent. [ WC Note: The truth is just the opposite, as government exists
only with the consent of the people.] He is soon taught that a prayer is slow
to reverse what a bullet can do in an instant. Thus, a man trained in a religious
environment for eighteen years of his life can, by this instrument of the government,
be broken down, be purged of his fantasies and delusions in a matter of mere
months. Once that conviction is instilled, all else becomes easy to instill.
EVEN MORE INTERESTING IS THE PROCESS BY WHICH A YOUNG MAN'S PARENTS, WHO PURPORTEDLY
LOVE HIM, CAN BE INDUCED TO SEND HIM OFF TO WAR TO HIS DEATH [WC emphasis].
Although the scope of this work will not allow this matter to be expanded in
full detail, nevertheless, a coarse overview will be possible and can serve
to reveal those factors which must be included in some numerical form in a computer
analysis of social and war systems.
We begin with a tentative definition of the draft. THE DRAFT (selective service,
etc.) is an institution of COMPULSORY collective SACRIFICE and SLAVERY, devised
by the middle-aged and the elderly for the purpose of pressing the young into
doing the public dirty work. It further serves to make the youth as guilty as
the elders, thus making criticism of the elders by the youth less likely (Generational
Stabilizer). It is marketed and sold to the public under the label of "patriotic
= national" service.
Once a candid economic definition of the draft is achieved, that definition
is used to outline the boundaries of a structure called a Human Value System,
which in turn is translated into the terms of game theory. The value of such
a slave laborer is given in a Table of Human Values, a table broken down into
categories by intellect, experience, post-service job demand, etc.
Some of these categories are ordinary and can be tentatively evaluated in terms
of the value of certain jobs for which a known fee exists. Some jobs are harder
to value because they are unique to the demands of social subversion, for an
extreme example: the value of a mother's instruction to her daughter, causing
that daughter to put certain behavioral demands upon a future husband ten or
fifteen years hence; thus, by suppressing his resistance to a perversion of
a government, making it easier for a banking cartel to buy the State of New
York in, say, twenty years.
Such a problem leans heavily upon the observations and data of wartime espionage
and many types of psychological testing. But crude mathematical models (algorithms,
etc.) can be devised, if not to predict, at least to predetermine these events
with maximum certainty. What does not exist by natural cooperation is thus enhanced
by calculated compulsion. Human beings are machines, levers which may be grasped
and turned, and there is little real difference between automating a society
and automating a shoe factory.
These derived values are variable. (It is necessary to use a current Table of
Human Values for computer analysis.) These values are given in true measure
rather than U.S. dollars, since the latter is unstable, being presently inflated
beyond the production of national goods and services so as to give the economy
a false kinetic energy ("paper" inductance).
The silver value is stable, it being possible to buy the same amount with a
gram of silver today as could be bought in 1920. Human value measured in silver
units changes slightly due to changes in production technology.
ENFORCEMENT
FACTOR I
As in every social system approach, stability is achieved only by understanding
and accounting for human nature (action/reaction patterns}. A failure to do
so can be, and usually is, disastrous.
As in other human social schemes, one form or another of intimidation (or incentive}
is essential to the success of the draft. Physical principles of action and
reaction must be applied to both internal and external subsystems.
To secure the draft, individual brainwashing/programming and both the family
unit and the peer group must be engaged and brought under control.
FACTOR II - FATHER
The man of the household must be housebroken to ensure that junior will grow
up with the right social training and attitudes. The advertising media, etc.,
are engaged to see to it that father-to-be is pussy-whipped before or by the
time he is married. He is taught that he either conforms to the social notch
cut out for him or his sex life will be hobbled and his tender companionship
will be zero. He is made to see that women demand security more than logical,
principled, or honorable behavior.
By the time his son must go to war, father (with jelly for a backbone} will
slam a gun into junior's hand before father will risk the censure of his peers,
or make a hypocrite of himself by crossing the investment he has in his own
personal opinion or self-esteem. Junior will go to war or father will be embarrassed.
So junior will go to war, the true purpose not withstanding.
FACTOR III - MOTHER
The female element of human society is ruled by emotion first and logic second.
In the battle between logic and imagination, imagination always wins, fantasy
prevails, maternal instinct dominates so that the child comes first and the
future comes second. A woman with a newborn baby is too starry-eyed to see a
wealthy man's cannon fodder or a cheap source of slave labor. A woman must,
however, be conditioned to accept the transition to "reality" when
it comes, or sooner.
As the transition becomes more difficult to manage, the family unit must be
carefully disintegrated, and state-controlled public education and state-operated
child-care centers must become more common and legally enforced so as to begin
the detachment of the child from the mother and father at an earlier age. Inoculation
of behavioral drugs [Ritalin] can speed the transition for the child (mandatory).
CAUTION: A woman's impulsive anger can override her fear. An irate woman's power
must never be underestimated, and her power over a pussy-whipped husband must
like-wise never be underestimated. It got women the vote in 1920.
FACTOR IV - JUNIOR
The emotional pressure for self-preservation during time of war and the self-serving
attitude of the common herd that have an option to avoid the battlefield -if
junior can be persuaded to go -is all of the pressure finally necessary to propel
Johnny off to war. Their quiet black-mailings of him are the threats: "No
sacrifice, no friends; no glory, no girlfriends."
FACTOR V - SISTER
And what about junior's sister? She is given all the good things of life by
her father, and taught to expect the same from her future husband regardless
of the price.
FACTOR VI -CATTLE
Those who will not use their brains are no better off than those who have no
brains, and so this mindless school of jelly-fish, father, mother, son, and
daughter, become useful beasts of burden or trainers of the same.
[End of excerpt]
Silent Weapoins for Quiet Wars was written by (in my opinion) William Cooper. He claims to have found it in a surplus-sale-bought used copy machine in 1986, (claiming to be the doctrine adopted by the Policy Committee of the Builderberg Group since 1954). It can be found in the first chapter of his book, Behold A Pale Horse.
