Special thanks to: Stephen Fyfe Scott RT A+J Cover photo by: Sandro Goretti 6 FOREWORD 7 Foreword This book seeks to paint broad brush strokes and illustrate larger trends within Western society. It is written with the backdrop of Western civilisation being on the brink of collapse and Western man rapidly heading toward being a minority in his own homelands. These points are not debated or laboured, for one only needs to look at demographic data or view news reports to see how the racial and cultural make-up of the West has dramatically changed over the last few decades. This book does not seek to tread the typical and well-worn ground that has been gone over time and again. This book does not seek to blame the downfall of the West on immigrants, but instead on the changes that have affected Western man and caused the breakdown of Western society. Immigration obviously leads to demographic problems as mentioned earlier – but it is not immigration that has fractured the Western communities. Instead this book seeks to analyse how Western man has gone off track and lost his way. It seeks to analyse the mental state of Western man and show how the enemies of the West have subtly affected the Western psyche. This book lays bare the ways in which negative influences and degeneracy have been repeatedly pushed upon Western man and used to undermine once cohesive societies. This book uses illustrative quotations and examples to illustrate the degeneracy that has been foisted on the West; however there are so many examples that listing them all would be excessive. The reader is free to, and encouraged to, apply the logic herein and find their own examples that can easily fit the framework of the arguments. If one tried to list every single example it would fill dozens of books – and to quote Shakespeare, 'Brevity is the soul of wit'. Equally, this book is not concerned with listing names of people that have pushed such degeneracy on the West. Again, this would be unproductive and could easily fill dozens of books. The 8 Foreword reader is again encouraged to carry out their own investigations into who 'the enemies of the West' are. The purpose of this book is to analyse the ways in which Western man has been misguided and lost his way and the way that structures that once held Western society together have been undermined and eroded or perverted. 9 1 THE ID, THE EGO AND THE SUPEREGO 10 The Id, the Ego and the Superego The id, the ego and the superego are the three component parts of the human mind present in Freudian psychology. These three distinct parts of the mind (or psyche) interact with one another to influence the way we behave and moderate the way we go about interacting with our environment and other individuals within that environment. Freud argued that the id, the ego and the superego affect decision making and guide us on a particular path based on our needs and how we should go about satisfying those needs. Before each of these components are discussed and understood, it is important to realise why we must understand them. The id, the ego and the superego and the modern understanding of our psyche were developed by Sigmund Freud (born Sigismund Schlomo Freud; 6 May 1856 – 23 September 1939). Freud was an Austrian neurologist and is acknowledged as the father of psychoanalysis. Freud's work forms a basis for understanding how our minds work – and to understand the working of the mind is to understand how we as human beings work on a mental level and is the key to understanding what drives and dictates our actions. Once one understands how the complex human mind works, one can see how the working of the mind can be influenced and altered, and thus how the manipulation of the mind can be used to change the behaviour of an individual person or group of people. The key to understanding the mind would give any person or group of people a powerful advantage over others. This advantage would allow those people to use subtle and coercive techniques in order to not only influence the mind, but also to influence the behaviour of the people whose minds were being influenced. In effect, to understand the mind would unlock the secrets to controlling people – not through force, but through more devious and subtle means. 11 The Id, the Ego and the Superego Once the working of the mind is understood, an unscrupulous group could easily use this knowledge in order to place mental chains upon people or to unleash the worst mental aspects hidden within the psyche of those people in order to ensure their servitude or their destruction. Equally, to understand one's own mind and the way it works is to give the individual the key to the mental chains placed upon them. To understand one's own mind would be to understand how one could be manipulated and in turn how one could seek to avoid that manipulation. It is no secret that the Western world is in decline and it is also no secret that Western man has lost his way. Yet why is this – why has the once mighty Western man who explored and conquered the world been reduced to so little in such a short period of time? Popular explanations will range from and include government policy, liberalism, socialism, immigration and even factors like unemployment. These are all however external influences on Western man. The purpose of this book is to assert that it is not simply changes in Western man's government, it is not changes in the make- up of his homeland nor is it changes in his environment that have truly broken what made Western man great. It is in fact subtle and prolonged changes in Western man's mind that have taken place over the best part of a century that have altered the way in which Western man's mind works. This subtle manipulation of Western man's mind by his enemies – those who wish to see the West crumble – has altered the behaviour of Western man and has both robbed him of the traits that made him great and strong, and at the same time unlocked and fed negative traits in order to make him degenerate and weak. The enemies of the West have not attacked Western man in an overt and physical way, but in a devious series of attacks aimed at the mind. 12 The Id, the Ego and the Superego Only by understanding the way the mind works and by having one's eyes opened to the mental attacks on the Western psyche can one ever seek to steel themselves against those attacks. To understand the mind is the very first step in building that defence. By understanding the mind one can then learn how the mind is attacked and begin to see those attacks and hence start to be able to build a defence against them.

  • Secret Side of London Scavenger Hunt
    Secret Side of London Scavenger Hunt What better way to celebrate The Senior Section Spectacular than by exploring one of the greatest cities in the world! London is full of interesting places, monuments and fascinating museums, many of which are undiscovered by visitors to our capital city. This scavenger hunt is all about exploring a side to London you might never have seen before… (all these places are free to visit!) There are 100 Quests - how many can you complete and how many points can you earn? You will need to plan your own route – it will not be possible to complete all the challenges set in one day, but the idea is to choose parts of London you want to explore and complete as many quests as possible. Read through the whole resource before starting out, as there are many quests to choose from and bonus points to earn… Have a great day! The Secret Side of London Scavenger Hunt resource was put together by a team of Senior Section leaders in Hampshire North to celebrate The Senior Section Spectacular in 2016. As a county, we used this resource as part of a centenary event with teams of Senior Section from across the county all taking part on the same day. We hope this resource might inspire other similar events or maybe just as a way to explore London on a unit day trip…its up to you! If you would like a badge to mark taking part in this challenge, you can order a Hampshire North County badge designed by members of The Senior Section to celebrate the centenary (see photo below).
