crypto adj. Secret; covert.
gon suff. A
figure having a specified kind or number of angles.
Governments,
Corporations and Media are out of control.
These prominent
components of our society are increasingly driven by hypocrisy,
corruption and greed. They have never been more powerful than
they are today, and their ability to shape the outcome of events
goes mostly unnoticed by the public at large.
The
Cryptogon refers to the hidden structure underlying and interconnecting
the political, economic and perception management systems currently
in operation on this planet. When John Ralston Saul states that,
"In reality, we are today in the midst of a theology of pure
power---power born of structure, not of dynasty or arms,"
the "structure" he is referring to is what I am calling
the Cryptogon.

SEPTEMBER 11,
2001
September
11, 2001 was the opening scene in the final act of the show we
sometimes call, "Society as we know it." I'm not saying
this event marked the beginning of THE END OF EVERYTHING,
although it may be that, but it was definitely the beginning of
the end of things as they have appeared over the last generation
or so.
Since
the assassination of John F. Kennedy, an international, crypto-fascist
syndicate has been rapidly consolidating its grip on this planet.
Changes to the global system have been implemented slowly, consistently
and in a manner so subtle that only a tiny fraction of the population
in the industrialized world ever noticed anything was wrong.
In
the states targeted for control, however, where the interests
of what are now the G8 states did not correspond to the interests
of the target populations, liberal amounts of genocide, torture
and "market discipline" prepared the planet for the
overt imperium that is about to be created. The focus during the
Cold War was, Containment of Communism. When the Soviet
Union collapsed, that focus switched, immediately, to the Expansion
of market economies. But how can this expansion go forward
if opposition to it is growing with each passing day?
A
final push was needed to justify the theft of the whole damn show.
And the world watched on CNN. In reality, what has happened is
that a few haves out there have picked a fight with
the vast majority of people in the world who happen to be have-nots.
Of course, nobody in power in the industrialized world comes out
and says that. Instead, they roll tape of the World Trade Center
towers falling to the ground and talk about the need to fight
terrorism.
In
other words, 9/11 makes the Reichstag
Fire look like a boyscout exercise. Regardless of the details
of the genesis of 9/11, the effects are essentially the same.
Ask yourself: Cui bono? Who benefits?
In
2000, humanity was at a crossroads. At that point, things probably
could have gone either way. After September 11, however, the die
has been cast, and we are now witnessing the ascendancy of the
same interests that supported Hitler, killed JFK and perpetrated
countless and incomprehensible acts against people all over the
globe.
I
think it would be wise to bear in mind that the events of 9/11
will probably pale in comparison to the diabolical plots that
may be hatched in the near future. I say that because, even as
bad as 9/11 was, it wasn't enough to polarize the world. Something
else is going to happen that will require a bold move by the G8
states. I don't know what that event will be, but it will be transformational
in nature, changing the way we think about freedom of speech and
movement, money, surveillance, state sovereignty and many other
factors.
In
the wake of 9/11, the outward appearances of things didn't change
significantly---except at airports. After the next event, even
the most deaf, dumb and blind Americans will scratch their heads
and think, "Gee, there are soldiers on the street."
America as we think we know it is already gone, and has been for
years. What will be different is that even the rhetorical image
of America will be shattered into pieces. The Land of the Free
and the Home of the Brave, etc? Remember all of that? The mask
will be off and we will finally get to gaze upon the actual system
we created with our decades of apathy and sloth.

Simplicity

Internet is awash with distractive garbage that threatens to make
the medium as useless as television. It is up to individuals to
take it upon themselves to create content that is informative
and useful. I've tried to maximize information while minimizing
distractions.

any of the links on this site and then buy what you want. By doing

ABOUT
ME
My
name is Kevin. I'm 34 years old, and I graduated from a large
and expensive university with what turned out to be a useless
degree in International Relations. I was particularly interested
in U.S. foreign policy analysis, security studies and information
warfare. For quite some time, I've realized that the social sciences
are more interested in maintaining the status quo than
getting at the root causes of the problems we face. For the most
part, we are taught how to "react" and "manage"
after the fact, not how to "prevent" and "ameliorate"
in the first place. The most salient factors in many events and
situations get swept under the rug.
Most
of what I consider to be useful knowledge was gleaned from reading
little known, out of print and hard to find books, listening to
freaks and lunatics on the radio in the dead of night and interviewing
men who were directly involved with events. I view the output
of established media as a slurry of manure and toxic waste; a
propaganda product that requires heavy analysis and context fitting
in order to recover the 5%-10% of useful information contained
within an obfuscated mess.
In
lieu of using my education for a career in government, I have
opted for an equally frustrating private sector existence. Like
many people, I have worked for various corporate criminals,
professional grifters and fascists. Now, my goal is to muddle
through, learn a bit about things, teach a bit about things, and
hopefully be able to say that I tried to make a difference when
most people were busy waving flags, going deep into debt and otherwise
burying their heads in the sand.

"I have sworn
upon the altar of the Almighty God eternal hostility against every
form of tyranny over the mind of man."
-Thomas Jefferson
"To live in this process is absolutely
not to be able to notice it... Each step was so small, so inconsequential,
so well explained or, on occasion, 'regretted,' that, unless one
were detached from the whole process from the beginning... one
no more saw it developing from day to day than a farmer in his
field sees the corn growing. One day it is over his head."
-Milton Mayer, "They Thought They Were Free"
"Still, if you will not fight for the
right when you can easily win without bloodshed, if you will not
fight when your victory will be sure and not so costly, you may
come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds
against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may
be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no chance
of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."
-Winston Churchill
"We wish to remind the world's political
and corporate leaders that the authority of the state and the
powers of the private corporation are grants extended to these
institutions by the sovereign people, by civil society, to serve
the collective human interest. It is the people's right to demand
that governments and corporations remain accountable to the public
will and interest."
-The People's Earth Declaration: A Proactive
Agenda for the Future
"The business of the journalists is to
destroy the truth... We are the tools and vassals of rich men
behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings
and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are
all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."
-John Swinton, speech given while working for
the New York Sun, 1880
"There are periods of history when the
visions of madmen and dope fiends are a better guide to reality
than the common-sense interpretation of data available to the
so-called normal mind. This is one such period, if you haven't
noticed already."
-Robert Shea, Robert Anton Wilson, "The
Illuminatus Trilogy"
