THE LAMP OF LEARNING
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
During the "Dark Ages" in Europe (from about the fall of the
|
|
Roman Empire until the Renaissance), the very few -- in this case
|
|
certain groups of monks -- carried the lamp of learning across
|
|
the ages.
|
|
|
|
-+- Illusion -+-
|
|
|
|
The twentieth century is the current "dark age," pretending to be
|
|
sophisticated and enlightened, yet actually willfully blind to
|
|
many things. True learning, say some, has never been meant for
|
|
the many, yet an army of state-stamped and -certified
|
|
"intellectuals" gives the opposite *illusion*. The illusion we
|
|
live in is that there are quite a lot of "educated" people these
|
|
days. The *fact* is that ignorance has rarely been greater.
|
|
|
|
-+- Ignorance -+-
|
|
|
|
The choice of word -- "ignorance" -- is used advisedly. By
|
|
ignorance is meant, *to willfully ignore*. Ignore-ance, among
|
|
the mass of "educated" (who would be stunned to know they are
|
|
ignore-ant), is so omnipresent it is both obvious and
|
|
hard-to-see. Examples of common ignore-ance prevalent among the
|
|
"educated" are
|
|
|
|
-+- The Truth: IGNORED -+-
|
|
|
|
(1) Lincoln Assassination: An obvious "plot within a
|
|
plot," yet this has been steadfastly *ignored* by the
|
|
"educated."
|
|
|
|
(2) JFK Assassination: No doubt that the death of JFK goes
|
|
far beyond Lee Harvey Oswald, yet a phalanx of "experts"
|
|
continues to run interference.
|
|
|
|
(3) RFK Assassination: Much more than "lone nut" Sirhan
|
|
Sirhan is involved, nonetheless the perceived
|
|
"intellectuals" choose not to see.
|
|
|
|
(4) MLK Assassination: *Proven* (*Orders To Kill* by
|
|
William F. Pepper) that James Earl Ray was *not* the
|
|
shooter; "well-educated" "historians" declare otherwise.
|
|
|
|
(5) October Surprise: Demonstrated over and over that the
|
|
plot occurred, yet the "educated" see it not.
|
|
|
|
(6) HIV-AIDS **HYPOTHESIS**: At this late date, according
|
|
to normal scientific standards, it has *not* been proven
|
|
that HIV causes AIDS. (See *Inventing the AIDS Virus* by
|
|
Peter Duesberg.) But after constant droning to the
|
|
contrary by "experts," even savvy readers of Conspiracy
|
|
Nation might have been fooled.
|
|
|
|
(7) TWA 800: Ill-fated TWA Flight 800 was brought down by
|
|
a missile. (See *The Downing of TWA Flight 800* by James
|
|
Sanders -- Get this book before it disappears!) "Educated"
|
|
stuffed-suits in Television-Land continue their
|
|
white-knuckled ignore-ance.
|
|
|
|
(8) OKC "Bombing": Really *more* than *one* bomb, it
|
|
should be referred to in the plural -- OKC *bombings*. A
|
|
single "fertilizer bomb" could *not* have done all the
|
|
damage on April 19, 1995 at the Murrah Building. With all
|
|
the supposedly educated people extant, how is it that so
|
|
few can see and speak the truth?
|
|
|
|
(9) Death of Vincent Foster: *Maybe* it was a suicide, but
|
|
it did not happen *there*, on the berm, at Fort Marcy Park.
|
|
"Educated" citizens abound, yet what good is the supposed
|
|
education when the nerve to see is lacking?
|
|
|
|
(10) Waco Massacre: Women and children, many of them
|
|
African-American, were *murdered* by federal "law
|
|
enforcement" agents. Tens of thousands of Americans hang
|
|
impressive "education" credentials on their walls; they've
|
|
attended the "very best" universities -- and their eyes are
|
|
sewn shut.
|
|
|
|
Many more items could be added to the above list.
|
|
|
|
-+- True Learning -+-
|
|
|
|
True learning may never have been meant for any but the few --
|
|
the few with NERVE enough to SEE. True learning does take
|
|
self-discipline, study, and at least average intelligence. *But
|
|
it takes more.* It takes NERVE to
|
|
|
|
Seek the truth
|
|
Come whence it may
|
|
Cost what it will
|
|
-- [1]
|
|
|
|
No state-aligned "education" factory can mass-produce *guts*.
|
|
|
|
-+- The Enemy of Learning -+-
|
|
|
|
We "quaint" "conspiracy theorists" not only need *nerve*, we need
|
|
a thick skin. "Educated" persons who either don't know any
|
|
better or knowingly serve as murderers of learning at the behest
|
|
of their masters -- persons like Gerald Posner and Chip Berlet --
|
|
are on the prowl. They control the loudspeakers, and use them to
|
|
blare us out with their mis-representations, ridicule, and
|
|
defamations. The enemy of learning in our time is not the iron
|
|
maiden and the rack of the torture chamber, it is massive,
|
|
choking, credentialed IGNORE-ANCE.
