"But we are assured that we must be extravagantly generous, if we are to hope for the extravagant generosity which the slightest easing of, or escape from, the consequences of our own follies and errors represents."

After the 9-11 terror attack, in early 2002, when DARPA's proposed IAO (Information Awareness Office) hit the news, not a few commentators called the proposal "Orwellian" and compared the proposed digital all-seeing eye, as signified by the death ray logo, with the lidless eye of the Dark Lord Sauron, as depicted in Tolkien's famous trilogy Lord of the Rings. In fact, public clamor over the logo got so bat that DARPA retracted the eery signal. At any rate, the publicly promulgated reason for DARPA's retraction of the short-lived logo was widespread criticism and controversy.

For example, William F. Jasper, writing for the John Birch Society's magazine, The New American, wrote: "Contemplating the full implications of the IAO's lust for omniscience and omnipotence ("Knowledge is Power," recall), a more appropriate symbol for the agency's logo might be the fiery, lidless, all-seeing eye of the Dark Lord Sauron, the satanic sorceror of the current blockbuster movie trilogy The Lord of the Rings. Sauron's unsleeping eye 'Sees all, pierces all, knows all,' says Suruman, Sauron's evil underling. That, after all, would seem to be the stated purpose of Adm. Poindexter's project." (William F. Jasper, TNA, January 27, 2003) Well said, that, but trouble is, the betrayal and deception evidently go much deeper than Mr. Jasper knows or wishes to acknowledge. Contrary to what Jasper and Safire of the New York Times suggested, admiral Poindexter was not the mastermind or main mufti behind the plan, even if he was a much easier target, fall guy, and scapegoat. As briefly outlined in "TROLL Cams: The All-Seeing Eyes of GOG", plans to implement a seamless internet-based surveillance system evidently existed long before Poindexter's appointment in January, 2002. As the title of that article alluded, there is some evidence that the IAO project may have been guided behind the scences by the All-Seeing eye of Judeo-Freemasonry. So it wasn't exactly "Poindexter's project", as Jasper of TNA, or Safire of the NYT, would have us suppose.

[Later, this was confirmed when DARPA's TIA (Total Information Awareness) system's SSD (System Description Document), version 1.1, of July 2002, became public and was posted on the Internet by EPIC. Presently, this document is at http://epic.org/primacy/profiling/tia/tiasystemdescriptiondocument.pdf . In Appendix A of that document, each page of which bore the IAO logo with the all-seeing eye, we read that the first draft of the TIA SSD was issued in May of 2001. So, many months prior to 9-11 and prior to Poindexter's January 2002 appointment as head of the IAO (Information Awareness Office) -- and probably much earlier -- the basic blueprint for TIA was already in the works, and while it's true that Poindexter worked for SYNTEK from 1996 to 2002, in which capacity he was presumably involved in the design and deployment of certain aspects of TIA, e.g., Project Genoa, it's also true that other components of the TIA system, as defined by the TIA SSD, were being developed prior to Poindexter's (1996 to 2002) stay at SYNTEK. For example, the FACE-IT face scan software, developed by Visionics (now called Identix), evolved as part of a DoD project called FERET, initiated in 1993 and completed in 1998. According to the TIA SSD posted by EPIC, the Face-It software was one component of the TIA project. As a friend of mine pointed out in 2001, the logo of Visionics at that time included the all-seeing eye, as pictured here, and bore an eery resemblance to the oval all-seeing eye inside the inverted triangle, as seen, for example, on Freemason "whore house" Harry S. "give em hell" Truman's Masonic apron.]

It was interesting how Peter Jackson's movie trilogy, which was fantastically faithful to Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, hit the movie theaters just after revelations about IAO had hit the news. Those of a conspiratorial mindset might even call it strangely suspicious. But one man's conspiracy is another man's crusade, so for every conspiracy or crusade, there's often a counter-conspiracy, or counter-crusade, and Tolkien, a devout Roman Catholic, arguably launched what might be construed as one the of the most prescient campaigns to counter the Occult Conspiracy in the history of the world. His crusade took the form of several fictional, now-famous books, Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, which were taken up defiantly like pitch forks by ordinary people everywhere. Despite deprecations and derision dished down on Tolkien's work by the intellectual elite, Tolkien's trilogy triumphed, spreading like anti-biotic in an epidemic of esotericism and elitism. [ Although Tolkien himself has been accused of belonging ot the Illuminati, that accusation is grounded, I'd guess, not on fact but opon the boasts of the Illuminati, who would take credit for the sun rising if they could get away with it, and so, to persuade their underlings of their all-reaching powers, they attribute Tolkien's far-seeing prognistications and prescriptions to themselves. John Todd, from whence this accusation was made known to me, likely fell for the lie and communicated it to others, or possibly he simply made it up himself. In any case, after reading Tolkien's letters, it seems improbable to me that he was anything but a devout Catholic. Certain among the Protestants, eager to think ill of anything Catholic, spread the rumour and ignore contrary evidence.]

"The Blazing Star Pentagram) has been regarded as an emblem of Omniscience, or the All-Seeing Eye, which to the Egyptian Initiates was the emblem of Osiris, the Creator." [Pike, "Morals and Dogma", p. 26-16, according to the Cutting Edge Ministry, ILLUMINIST ALL-SEEING EYE SUMBOLISM SUDDENLY MADE PUBLIC IN LONDON, November, 2002.

History now records how Peter Jackson took J.R.R. Tolkien's trilogy and made it into a film trilogy that made Star Wars seem less-than stellar; ironically, it seemed to demonstrate that Hobbits, with the help of angels, can beat Suruman and Darth Vader at their own game. The technical wizardry of Jackson's film rendition of Tolkien's trilogy made Speilberg's Star Wars wizardry seem outdated and tired and Tolkien's trilogy seem timeless and new. It's ironic how Star Wars seemed as if it came from the Middle-Ages of cinamatography while Tolkien's Middle Earth seemed space-age. Arguably, the two films, Lord of the Rings and Star Wars, represent two incommensurable worldviews: namely, the Christian or Catholic view, as set forth in the Gospels and advocated by Tolkien, versus the occult or Judaic view, as set forth in the Kabbalah and advanced in Speilberg's blockbuster Star Wars. This work is dedicated to deliniating the these two worldviews, one of which is a force for good, the other of which is a force for evil. People disagree about which is evil, and I confess that I myself have been lost in the fog of this war, dazed and confused, a casualty of sorts. But in Tolkien's world, the distinction between the two is crystal clear, which is one reason, among others, that his trilogy was greeted with scorn by the bright-lights in the Tower of Babel, who often treated Tolkien with distain, as though the philosophical felony and aesthetic attrocity of making things clear in an unclear world was beyond the palor of proper pedantry. A blockbuster for blockheads, some seemed to say. Sinister for being simplistic, some seemed to suggest.

At about the same time as Tolkien labored on his masterful trilogy, George Orwell, formerly a member of the Qabbalistic and fringe-Masonic magical fraternity, the Golden Dawn, which, according to Springmeier, was the personal coven of the English branch of the Rothschild dynasty, arguably prepared to launch his own broadsides against the Titanic of Tyranny; namely, 1984 and Animal Farm. Orwell, disillusioned and alienated from the corpus anti-Christi of the occult Brotherhood, allegedly wrote 1984 to warn the world about the diabolical plans of his former occult overlords, including his initiator, Aleister Crowley, or so claimed John Daniel, author of "Scarlet and the Beast", at any rate. Both Tolkien and Orwell were well aware, evidently, of the fact that the conspiracy was real, deadly, diabolical, and devoted, at least in the uppermost ranks, to Dark Arts, and yet, the Conspiracy was so unbelievable that, ironically, it could only be believably portrayed in fictional form, which may explain in part why neither Tolkien nor Orwell spell things out, so to say, but often communicate to the unconscious mind what the conscious mind of many might reject with incredulity or horror. If either Orwell or Tolkien had made explicit what their fiction implicitly conveys, both would be rejected outright as crackpot nutjob conspiracy theorists. Who in their age or ours truly believe in demons or the power of conjuring demons? Only the people, evidently, who control the world, or nearly do -- much like the Dark Lord Sauron who seeks Total Information Awareness, or complete control, the power of the One Ring that rules them all. So, perhaps to avoid provoking incredulous laughter or howls of derision, or to make their fiction real, they chose to disclose in fictional form what fiction claims not to be; namely, real history.

[Claims are made that Orwell's book, like Tolkien's trilogy, was a "propaganda coup" for the Illuminati, one that would serve not to galvanize oppostion to the Illuminati blueprint but rather to dishearten any resistence. That may be so. How would we know Orwell's true intent, unless we could not only read minds but transverse time to do so? On the other hand, it can hardly be stressed strongly enough that the Illuminati, or Judeo-Freemasonry, as it's more revealingly called, would take credit for the sun rising if they could get away with it.]

One might reasonably infer, given Tolkien's depiction of the all-seeing eye of Sauron, whom he casts as a necromancer and practioner of black magic, that Tolkien was well aware of the real power behind the technocratic tyrannies of the 20th century. One might also guess, not without plausibility, that as a well-educated Roman Catholic, Tolkien was aware of what Pope Pius IX called "the synagogue of Satan"; namely, corporate Freemasonry, or what is more revealingly called Judeo-Freemasonry. Yet nowhere in the index of The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien do we find any reference to secret societes, Freemasonry, or the All-Seeing Eye or the like. Yet if, not content to peruse the index, we read Tolkien's letters, we would find that he mentions secret societies on several occasions and well knew their import. Even so, although much mention is made of the Ring(s) of power, he makes no mention of the Eye of Sauron or Freemasonry in his letters. This might give us pause to reconsider reading too much into the Eye as a symbol of secret societes or sorcery or satanism, yet the trilogy itself gives us ample evidence that Tolkien understood not only the organizations behind the Satanic conspiracy, but also, and much more importantly, the spiritual forces and laws surrounding them, which, like the winds engulfing the eye of a hurricane, create the Eye of a perfect storm. The Eye is nothing without the wind, so Tolkien speaks of the wind, i.e., the spiritual force whose expression the Eye is. The eery calm in the Eye of a storm is neither the lull before the storm, nor the calm after it, but the heart of the storm itself, and the person who mistakes the peace inside for peace thereafter is doomed. For what price, peace? What is the stillness in the Eye but the vortex of ferocious winds that wreck the world? What is the stability of the Satanic sorceror, who conjures in the Eye of the Triangle, but the solidity of a snake that slithers slyly on its belly, and lacking legs, never falls from grace or stumbles on the way away from evil-the only path which leads, in the end, after many storms, many falls, to real and lasting peace?

Tolkien, in any case, described himself as a historian of sorts, and his trilogy was essentially historical, he tells us, yet non-allegorical--a history outside of time, we might say, at least in the sense that it refers to no specific time in history but to history whole.

The subliminal meaning of the recent mass media push to rosy the tarnished image of the so called "Eye of Divine Providence", more popularly known as the "All-Seeing Eye", can hardly be missed, unless one's eyes are wide-shut. The message is simple, clear, unequivocal: the All-Seeing Eye is a "national treasure".

realities refered to are superhistorical, or supernatural, so that That is, we would be mistaken if we were to drawn an analogy, say, between, Sauron and Stalin, or Sauron's all-seeing Eye and the All-Seeing Eye of Freemasonry, because, although there is nothing in his trilogy, wrote Tolkien, which doesn't point to something that exists, the Stalin is but one instance, for example, of the dark forces that coalesce to create tyranny, and to confuse or compare him with those forces is to conflate the consequence with the great causes that dwarf any particular puny concrete consequent. Even so, this is not to say that Stalin does not represent, in the abstract, so to speak, what is the essence or meaning of tyranny. If this analysis is right, the symbol of the all-seeing eye signifies not Freemasonry so much, nor secret societies as such, but rather the spiritual power of which the All-Seeing Eye of Freemasonry is but one among many manifestations in the material world.

What's more, although Tolkien's trilogy refers to superhistorical and supernatural existents and events existing or occuring outside of time, or rather, timeless events, historcially speaking, albiet not eternally speaking, Tolkien also suggests, or at least he entertains the suggestion, that events as he described them did in fact occur, more or less exactly as depicted, at some time in the distant and forgotten reaches of history, either in some lost or unknown world, or perhaps in this world. Yet if this is so--and he certainly doesn't insist on it--it's being so, or not being so, does nothing to discount the reality of the supernatural existents or events to which the story alludes non-allegorically. The comparisons are non-allegorical because there is nothing in the perceptible world, or in known history, that we can point to and say that this or that is what he meant or was refering to when he wrote about this or that character or event in his books. Tolkien, like many great writers and artists, felt at times that he was an instrument, a vessal, through which beings of another dimension, i.e., in his case, Heavenly angelic beings, communicated. But this is not something he knew, pretended to know, or insisted upon, and if such was the case, it presumably occured not through any promptings or invocations of his own but as something beyond his volitional control or conscious awareness, in which case, he cannot be justly charged with any occult or nefarious practice.

"One Ring to rule them all...One Ring to find them...One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them." -- J.R.R. Tolkien, Lord of the Rings

The Eye Is Watching by Joe Sansone, USA Daily, 11/30/2002 "In J.R.R. Tolkien's fantastic work of fiction The Lord of the Rings, the dark lord Sauron, not yet able to maintain a physical form, attempting to dominate middle earth, is depicted as an evil eye. Able to penetrate time, space, and the human mind, the evil force sought to dominate 'Middle Earth'. In a bizarre and frightening case of life imitating art, the United States defense department has created an office that seeks those same limitless powers as Tolkien's dark lord. The Information Awareness Office (IAO) seeks what it calls 'Total Informatoin Awareness'. The agency even adopted the new world symbol of the pyramid with the all knowing eye hovering above it.... Any reasonable American citizen, with the exception of pure left wing totalitarians , must find a visit to the IAO website chilling. It is like something out of a sci-fi horror movie, only, it is real...."

END NOTES AND QUOTES

Note that in the artwork by French Freemason, Eliphas Levi, as pictured here, the snake, or Ouroborous, surrounds the Seal of Solomon. This is the ring of doom and signifies the same process, purpose, and paradigm as Solomon's Seal. We quote now researcher and author David Carrico, who produced the "SRA and Secret Societies" video documentary:

Another one of Eliphas Levi's occult drawings is called 'the great symbol of Solomon.' This drawing from Eliphas Levi's book, Transcendental Magic, also portrayed the false idea that God has an evil side to him as well as a good side. It was explained as:

"The great Symbol of Solomon. The Double Triangle of Solomon, represented by the two Ancients of the Kabalah; the Macroprosopus and t he Microprosopus; the God of Light and the God of Reflections; of mercy and vengeance; the white Jehovah and the black Jehovah. (58)

Eliphas Levi, translated by A.E. Waite, Transcendental MAGIC, Samuel Weiser, Inc. 1896, p.xii. (59)

The same drawing also appears in a recent book called, A Bridge to Light, published by the Supreme Council, 33rd degree Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry Southern Jurisdiction. Across from the drawing in that book is an explanation of who the snake represents that is surrounding the symbol. Speaking of the snake's true identity:

"It is the body of the Holy Spirit, the universal Agent, the Serpent devouring his own tail. (60)

What a blasphemy! What arrogance! Jesus said:

"Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost s hall not be forgiven unto men. And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come. (Matthew 12:31-32 KJV )
