Doublethink: Their Method To Control Your Thoughts

George Orwell - Fabrizio Cassetta Two Orwellian concepts: Doublethink and Newspeak. We live in the age of information; but are we open to hear all sides of a single issue or will we just hear what we want, what is more convenient for us, and stick to it? That is the million dollar question. We live in the age of knowledge. Companies like Google, Microsoft, Yahoo etc made sure that we had all sorts of information available in seconds, to assist us in our intellectual evolution - an evolution that will come, and even though it may tarry, I will wait for it on any day that it will come. But do we all seek knowledge? Not at all. It's too time consuming, it occupies too much space of our mental-hard disk. And thus we fall prey to the Thought Police. We fall prey to fascists (be it Leftist or Rightist). Do you Double-Think? Yes, if you do the following: "To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to h...

Maxiavelli: The Prayer that Embodies Teachings of All Religions

Italian Landscape by Antal Ligeti "Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. May Your kingdom come. May Your will be done, o n earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who have sinned against us. And never bring us into temptation, but deliver us from evil." (Matthew 6:9-13) As any prayer, this is one that is so simple yet so deep. I always found it interesting because it embodies the teachings of all religions in the world; being, thus, an universal prayer that could be said by any individual professing any religion. "Our Father who is in heaven, hallowed be Your Name." Despite not being visible; despite remaining in occultation; God's name is to be sanctified through our actions (e.g. to follow His basic rules [the Tens Commandments are a start] and fulfil the mission bestowed upon each and everyone of us). "May Your kingdom come. May Your will be done, on ea...

Maxiavelli: Fight Terror & we'll Remit

The Portrait of an African Gentleman by Jan Mostaert Hi, my name is Max and I am a politicoholic. - Hi, Max! Yet, sometimes, politics can get to my wits… In less than a month the world has witnessed two strong examples of why some say politics is dirty. The Demise of Meles Zenawi Ethiopian Prime Minister, Meles Zenawi, died on the 20 th of August 2012. Upon his demise world leaders praised what they called “one of the greatest African leaders”: “Prime Minister Meles (..) demonstrated his strong personal commitment over many years to improving the lives of not just his own but all African peoples, through his work on African unity, climate change, development and in promoting peace and stability, particularly in the Horn of Africa.” José Manuel Barroso, European Commission president “His personal contribution to Ethiopia's development, in particular by lifting millions of Ethiopians out of poverty, has set an example for the region.” David Cameron, Briti...

The Indian Mujahideen & The Wahhabi Threat

It is quite known that Pakistan moulds its military and national security strategy according to its mood regarding India. In my incessant quest to understand the Pakistani obsessive behaviour towards India, I received information introducing me to a terrorist group (the Indian Mujahideen [IM]) - operating within India - and to some other interesting facts. "The stated goal of the IM is to 'liberate India' from the influence of Western materialistic culture and further its conversion into an Islamic society." - Rohit Singh in Understanding the Indian Mujahideen [ NB : the aim to purge a nation of the western influence is the same as Al-Qaeda's (and affiliates); Haqqani Network's ; Jemaah Islamiyah 's; Boko Haram's, Hamas' etc] The Indian Mujahideen is an offshoot of the SIMI (founded on the 15th of April 1977 by Mohammed Ahmedullah Siddiqi) and, its creation served the purpose of Indianising the Jihad against India - through the IM, Pakis...

Maxiavelli: What's Your Favourite Appeasement Label?

La Récureuse - André Bouys The word du jour is "appeasement". Everybody wants to appease somebody, and for it to take effect, some are forging new epithets and labels (e.g. a commoner, in England, is not longer called that way; a commoner now is called a "normal person"). This made me ponder on what other epithets we could come up with, as certain layers of society become more and more sensitive - to the point of needing to be pacified. Ladies and gentlemen, please find below a small list of prospective new labels, concocted by us: 1 . The House of Commons = House of Well-Brought Up People Since commoners wish to be called "normal people" (whatever that means); we thought that perhaps the British parliamentary group, parallel to the House of Lords, would decide to change its designation to "House of Well-Brought Up People". 2 . Servant = Domestic Assistant This does not apply to Fine Help. It only applies to those who are not pro...

Secret Society & Society With Secrets: Never Lead From Behind

Pentagram (Source: Google Images) The freemasonry is not a secret society, it is a society with secrets - although with the ever increasing number of lodges and members, I am not sure whether the true spirit of freemasonry stands or if its secrets remain being so well kept. Notwithstanding, its influence remains spectacular in many corners of the world. Other societies, far more secret, holding only one secret or two remain impermeable and may one day surpass the level of influence exerted by the freemasonry. Competition is healthy, however occasional collaboration is even healthier, especially these days. Therefore, sharing intelligence is advisable.
