Humanity's Golden Age Is Before Us

1 Strategic Study: To prevent human extinction, we must eliminate the existence of Empire now, and forever Humanity's Golden Age is Before Us In August of 1914 Russian troops massed on the border of eastern Prussia, Austrian troops prepared to attack Serbia, and the German army was poised to strike Belgium. A war which would not only kill millions, but accomplish irreversible damage to world-wide human culture was about to begin. Would that this had been a one-time occurrence, only an aberration, but no. War, including world- wide war, has always been the the method of empire to deal with a threat to its continued power and hegemony. In our present situation, we will not “stumble” into world war any more than the myth that relevant European nations supposedly “stumbled” into the first World War. The proposal that total war is brought about by the blundering or “short-sightedness” of the individual leaders of nations, is not, in fact, the truthful lesson of 1914. As then, so today, the financial breakdown crisis of the Empire, the crisis which is motivating the decision by leading parties of that Empire to launch warfare, is being managed in such a way as to prevent any efforts at war-avoidance from succeeding. The British Empire was intent on world war for more than 20 years prior to 1914, but it was their manipulation of events in the summer of 1914, culminating in the decision by the Russian government to order a full military mobilization on July 31st of that year, which made the desired total war unstoppable. Such “red lines” are being prepared today, in the Ukraine, Syria, Iran, the Sea of Japan, and elsewhere, in which the launching of total thermo-nuclear war – seemingly “out of the blue” to the oblivious – is accomplished. There are but mere hours and days to prevent this. That is the actual lesson of 1914. I. – Survival Throughout the history of our species, the paramount, as yet unanswered, question has been whether the human race might survive. The vast majority of living creatures that have ever existed on our planet are now extinct. Are we destined to suffer the same fate? Early in the evolution of the human species, various climatic and geological crises nearly killed off every human being on at least several occasions, particularly during what is known as the Paleolithic Era. Later, once mankind began to develop the scientific skills to extend his power over the biosphere, the extinction nature of those “natural” threats abated. They are not gone, and dangers such as asteroid collisions, potential increases in the penetration of radiation into our atmosphere, and other galactic threats are not only likely occurrences for our future, they are guaranteed to come about, sooner or later, as our galaxy evolves. Today, however, the greatest threat to human survival comes from the continued existence of Empire. Beginning roughly about 5,000 to 6,000 years ago, an oligarchical system began to impose its power and will over human society. Over the ensuing centuries, that system of oligarchical rule has resulted in mass depopulation, the suppression of science, and attempts to eradicate the actual Promethean noetic identity of humanity from human culture. Millions have been killed, more were enslaved, and humanity was often left defenseless against “natural” threats, such as drought, disease and geological disturbances. Today, that same system of imperial rule threatens not just oppression and destruction, but imminent total death from a world war launched on behalf of London. The last successive four to five generations of human beings have lived the entirety of their lives within what can only be called a “century of war,” which began with the “Guns of August” in 1914. The British Empire, the entity responsible for this hundred years of carnage, is now cornered, as the bankruptcy of its speculative financial system comes crashing down. Like a mad beast it lashes out with increasingly desperate and insane measures. 2 As in 1914, if it wishes to survive, the Empire must go to war, and it must destroy the most immediate threats to its continued existence, including the technologically-progressive sovereign nations of Russia and China. The difference between today and 1914 is the existence of massive thermo-nuclear arsenals which have the capability to extinguish human life on our planet. Fools argue that no one, except madmen, would ever deliberately use thermo- nuclear weapons. Precisely. What makes amateur strategists fools is that they do not comprehend that the rulers of Empire are mad, including those today who reside in London and New York. Our current trans-Atlantic empire now possesses the means, for the first time in the history of our species, to bring about human self-extinction. They are prepared – and preparing – to use that capability. Do they believe that they themselves would survive such an Armageddon? Does it really matter? Either we act now to stop them, or everything that the human race has achieved over the span of its two million year history, as well as the potential for the great accomplishments which await us in the future, will be lost forever. Who then will compose our threnody? II. – Human Culture & Mankind's Promethean Identity Despite what has just been stated above, the hopeful good news must also be proclaimed: Under no circumstances is it fated in-the-stars for the human species to go extinct. Acknowledging the Empire’s current war drive, it remains true that mankind has no inescapable Appointment in Samarra. It is not in our nature to go extinct; or, to rephrase that assertion, the NATURE of the human species is such that, if we act according to our scientific and moral capabilities – if we access that which makes us human – we shall be able both to end oligarchical rule on our planet and to prepare to overcome any of the threats the galaxy throws at us. It is sometimes said that only when the human race frees itself from empire, will it be able to leave its “infancy” behind. It were better to say that only by freeing itself from rule by empire and oligarchical culture will humanity be able to fully realize the potential of its true nature, a nature which has existed – most emphatically – from the VERY BEGINNING, in both Homo sapiens (humans) and also in the early ancestors and “cousins” of Homo sapiens. The human species has exhibited all of the features of its nature – self awareness, foresight, creativity, power over nature – from the very beginning of its existence, going back a minimum of two million years. At least that far back, and probably further, there is definitive evidence of the human MIND at work, not simply increased “brain size” but demonstrable cognitive awareness, a self-conscious noetic power acting on the universe. That power, of self-aware, future-oriented creativity, defines human culture and the human identity. It is the thing which sets us apart from all other creatures; therefore, it is who we are as a species. A truly human culture would seek to advance and enhance that power, to bring more of the processes of our solar system under human direction. That increase of the power of MIND over the processes of the universe constitutes the actual notion of real human “wealth.” The Eternal Species Any honest assessment of the history of living organisms on our planet reveals the conclusion that all species of plants and animals now existent on Earth will sooner or later go extinct. The sole exception to that inevitability is our own species – Homo sapiens – as well as those creatures which have either been domesticated by mankind,1 or those which continue to thrive in an increasingly human-directed “state of nature,” under increasingly hegemonic human protection. Mankind is the only creature which possesses the quality to become, willfully, an “eternal species,” and our actual history is the struggle to realize that potential. The possibility for continued human existence is not to be found in a simple progression of generations of physical bodies, but rather in the eternal nature of a continually developing human CULTURE, a culture located in the noetic breakthroughs of courageous individual human beings, a culture capable of altering the future of our 1 “Domesticated,” i.e., brought within the expanding dynamic of an improved, human-directed, biosphere. 3 species by creating new potentialities for human development. The secret to history is located in this Promethean identity of mankind. The deeper meaning of that statement is revealed in the realization that Zeus – the hater of the noetic power of the human species – is the model for all of the imperial oligarchical systems down to the present day. Even a cursory glance at the history and pre-history of humanity, if it is a competent and honest glance, demonstrates the absolute truthfulness of those not-so-fictional Greek “myths,” as to what they tell us about the still unfinished drama of human existence. III. – Human Progress – the beginnings Unlike all other biological creatures whose existence is characterized by a fixed relationship with nature and an inability to alter that relationship, the human species has been defined, since the beginning of its existence, by a willful noetic continuous evolution. Man, the fire-bringer; man, the inventor; man, the chemist; man, the forecaster and creator of the future – such is who we are. Beginnings in the Mist Geologically, the period from 2.5 million years ago to about 10,000 BC is known as the Pleistocene Age, essentially a continual “ice age,” characterized by long periods of glaciation interspersed with much shorter warm periods known as inter-stadials.
