You likely didn't hear or see anything about this.  A raging mob of racists, probably.

Estulin to address EU Parliament

OK, I had the dates right for the G 20 in Toronto, just thought we were in June.  It could have been the heat. I was at a track meet yesterday that was cancelled because of heat!

Below is a follow up entry on Daniel Estulin.  I figure this is a good idea to add this as most people will go into their preprogrammed reaction of:  another conspiracy theory.  One of the major problems in our country is people are trained to obey, not think.

Anything out of the mainstream edicts elicit the "conspiracy theory" reaction.  I routinely got the rolling eyes when asked about the last election and commented, quite civilly that I was not interested in a socialist government, especially one installed by stealth.

I hope it is not too late, but, at least, now people are seeing, for example, Mr. Obama is a Marxist engaged in a silent  leftist drive. I know you are not rolling your eyes. Today, we will witness the take over of the banking system.  Imaging if Bush tried that.

You may not think this takeover is true, after all banks are private companies.  Are they? They depend upon the Fed and the federal government. They report on your activities to the government.  They rely on FDIC and are forced to pay high insurance premiums to cover stupid banks in trouble. In a real economy, stupid businesses fail. This is not so when an oligarchy is saving its own.  The banks will do and fund what they are told to do and fund. You are the ATM for all this.

During the "crisis" of last year, the USA Bank informed the government they did not need any TARP money - they were forced to take it.  This is not American.  They were threatened by the regulator, theoretically your regulator. You don't have to own the shares of a company to control it. 

Fascists understand this, we poor saps think we live in a world of private business, though you spend your whole life paying taxes (which drive up all cost,) fees, attorneys, CPAs, and following a network of bizarre regulation, only to be hit with an accusation you violated a law you never heard of  You manage to save money that the oligarchs steal from you through inflation (and you are not educated as to what this means). Your 401 (k) will be taken from you if the Marxists return.

Conspiracy theory? 

The testimony of Teresa Ghilarducci, professor of economic policy analysis at the New School for Social Research in New York, in hearings Oct. 7 drew the most attention and criticism. Testifying for the House Committee on Education and Labor, Ghilarducci proposed that the government eliminate tax breaks for 401(k) and similar retirement accounts, such as IRAs, and confiscate workers’ retirement plan accounts and convert them to universal Guaranteed Retirement Accounts (GRAs) managed by the Social Security Administration.

This is all control, organized theft from the working drones.  We are serfs exactly like the 12th Century but we don't know it. You need to decide if I am crazy.  If you think I am not, you better act politically and personally.

As I have noted many times, if you gently warm a frog sitting in a pot it will stay there until it dies.  On the other hand, if you drop a frog in dangerously hot water, it will leap out.

We can regain our natural consciousness by studying the origins of our country; we can return to a clear understanding of what is going on. 

While it is the knee-jerk reaction that the hearings in the 1950's by the House of Representatives was the cartoon operation of one Senator, but do not forget this was a House operation, it uncovered conspiracies admitted by recent KGB retirees, and one of the key lawyers for the McCarthy hearings was Robert Kennedy. What do you know? McCarthy was a cartoon bad guy.  See how we have been programmed?

Now, look at what comes out of Hollywood, to use a term for the entire film business. Look what comes out of Columbia U and Harvard, etc. The water is more than hot and we are sitting in it like morons.

Author Daniel Estulin to Shed Light on Bilderbergs with Historic Presentation at European Parliament

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

International best-selling author Daniel Estulin will make an unprecedented speech before the European Parliament on June 1st, 2010 at its headquarters in Brussels.

International best-selling author Daniel Estulin will make an unprecedented speech before the European Parliament on June 1st, 2010 at its headquarters in Brussels.
Brussels, Belgium (Vocus/PRWEB ) May 18, 2010 — International best-selling author Daniel Estulin will make an unprecedented speech before the European Parliament on June 1st, 2010 at its headquarters in Brussels.

Daniel Estulin, author of “The True Story of the Bilderberg Group” and “Shadow Masters”, has been invited to speak at the European Parliament by Mario Borghezio, the most senior Member of European Parliament from Italy. The European Parliament is one of the most powerful legislatures in the world. Estulin’s talk is equivalent to addressing a joint session of Congress.

In fact, never before has Bilderberg as a subject seen the light of day in front of such a highly respectable audience – elected senators of European nations.

Estulin will be part of a presentation titled Bilderberg Group – Towards Creation of One World Company Ltd., given by the author, as well as Borghezio, Nigel Farage (Member of European Parliament for South East England) and Gerard Batten (Member of European Parliament for London).

Estulin is the world’s top authority on the Bilderberg Group. Because of the worldwide appeal of the author’s book (over 3.5 million sold in nearly 50 languages), this once incredibly powerful and highly secretive organization is now a private forum of lesser stature. Who knows what the group will now transmogrify itself into?

“This is an opportunity to bring Bilderberg into the mainstream,” said Estulin. “A subject that was once considered to be in the domain of conspiracy theories is now being taken very seriously indeed.”

The Bilderberg Group is an annual, invitation-only conference with over 100 of the globe’s most influential movers and shakers, including heads of state, business tycoons and others. It is closed to the public and the press. This year the conference will be held from the 3rd to the 6th of June in Sitges, Spain.

“The True Story of the Bilderberg Group” and “Shadow Masters” are published in the US by TrineDay. For more information, go to www.trineday.com

They're Back

The Bildebergers are back.  They will be meeting soon.  You won't hear about the event other than seeing a photo of someone arriving in a black car.

The G 20 is plotting in Toronto this coming weekend.  Even crazier leftist will smash windows - I wish them luck at disrupting the world cabal. The EU and Goldman Sachs are keeping busy fixing things - transferring your money to cover their risk.

Bet you thought you were free.

I was reading an interview with a Spanish journalist, Daniel Estulin, who has followed the Bildebergers for some 18 years.  He would be an outside journalist, as you will understand in a moment.  He was matter of fact about about the CFR being a less exclusive department (Foreign Affairs Magazine), as well as the Trilateral Commission.  The goal is a central government in the UN, a central currency, and a central army.

(This makes things easier to control and to do business. I heard an interview with Daniel Estulin, the journalist, and he opined that the ancient families behind this movement are not about money; they have enough forever.  He says is about the power of the "blood line." He also mentioned people like David Rockefeller would not be the prime leaders - too small.)

He spelled out what he knew, which is what I have already talked about, but the interesting thing to add is that the representatives of the media who attend have to swear an oath they will not report on what happens.

For example, the 2005 event discussed energy and running up prices to $135 a barrel or so, which happened.  The group was worried about oil running out, so much of their schemes follow some logic, which is part of the public discussion.  Public meaning open to non-regular invitees who will be full of themselves for being invited.

All things are possible by fascists when they control the media, look at the U.S. today.  Did you hear the presidential motorcade was stopped recently in Chicago by a vocal anti-Obama protest?  No, of course not. Imagine if that had happened to a Bush or Reagan.  I added two photos of the event.

The interview followed the 2005 meeting (John Edwards was dropped as an invitee) where an interesting question was poised:

What media attended the 2005 meeting?

 

New York Times, Washington Post, Le Monde, The Economist, Wall Street Journal, Grupo Prisa, Le Figaro, National Post of Canada and all major U.S. TV networks, Europe, Canada: ABC, NBC, CBS, BBC ....

 

Birthers out; Registers in

The social security number purported to be President Obama's was searched at the Selective Service's site and returned hit on Mr. Obama, as one would expect.  The only problem is, that number was issued in Connecticut to a boy in Hawaii. This is not done. 

There have been people pointing this out in the past, but it has been shown to be true.

Curiouser and curiouser.

Anyway, my operating theory is the facts can only be explained thus:  Mr. Obama was a natural born American and reviewing persons knew that, lest they be shot for teason, but that his parentage is not as claimed, so that was kept quiet.  The various facts of his life fit this scenario down to his apparent abandonment.

Still, did he become a dual citizen who failed to renounce his Indonesian citizenship?  That one looks certain.

But, we don't care, do we?  Just a bunch of law stuff, that Constitution.

___________________________________

On May 5, WND entered the criteria for President Obama, using his date of birth as Aug. 4, 1961, and his Social Security Number, which begins with the Connecticut-issued prefix of 042.

The Selective Service database instantly issued a "matched record" without a problem that day, indicating Obama's Selective Service Number is 61-1125539-1. It lists date of registration as Sept. 4, 1980.


This May 5, 2010, screenshot of the Selective Service System's website shows President Obama's Selective Service record was able to be searched and located using his name, date of birth and Social Security Number (the last four digits of which have been redacted by WND).

Stealing Elections

Here are a few items items from an article from the American Thinker that Irene sent along.  They are taken from a review of the book in stores now called Stealing Elections.  I recommend a look at this topic as it demonstrates a very-long term effort to disrupt and violate the election process.  See: Cloward/Piven strategy, ACORN, Project Vote.  Then, there is George Soros NFP group aimed at taking the offices of Secretaries of State - those who control elections, such as in Minnesota.

A PowerPoint presentation available at ElectionCenter.org describes new election legislation proposed by congressional Democrats. They intend to nationalize voter registration and force the states to eliminate voter ID checks, provide absentee ballots to all voters, register voters on Election Day, and permit felons (who overwhelmingly support Democrats) to vote. 

A look at the luckiest election we have had where all the thievery still failed to elect Al Gore.

In his book Stealing Elections, writer John Fund suggests that another 15,000+ Bush votes were destroyed in Democrat-controlled Palm Beach County. Palm Beach reported 19,120 "over votes" -- ballots marked for more than one candidate -- representing nearly ten times the error rate for the rest of the state. Former law enforcement officials told Fund that stacks of paperballots had been altered by pushing a thin prod through the Gore column, invalidating votes for Bush while leaving those for Gore intact. National Democrats hired a telemarketing firm to make thousands of calls to Palm Beach County on Election Day, urging residents to say they were "confused" by the ballot....

...SEIU International Executive Vice President Eliseo Medina advocates amnesty for non-citizens ("immigration reform") as a way of adding 8 million new Democratic voters. 

Then, there is the stand-up comic: 

Minnesota's fraudulent senator

Years of leftist planning and effort came together in Minnesota in 2008, where the nation's closest statewide contest pitted Democrat Al Franken against Republican incumbent Senator Norm Coleman. Presiding over the election was SOSP Secretary Mark Ritchie, whose extensive ties to ACORN were predictably ignored by the media. Shortly before the election, Ritchie was asked to investigate serious problems with the registration rolls, including 261,000 duplicates and 63,000 voters who had listed non-existent addresses. He dismissed the request as an attempt "to create a cloud over an election so people don't accept the outcome." After the polls closed, Secretary Ritchie reported that his office "received no reports whatsoever" of fraudulent voting.

The final tally showed Coleman with a narrow 725-vote victory. It wasn't enough. Over the next four days, his lead fell to 221 as officials "discovered" errors in the vote. Most came from three small precincts controlled by Democrats. Other irregularities included "misplaced" ballots turning up in an official's trunk, and vote total adjustments that affected only the Senate race. The manipulation continued during the official recount, as the Minnesota Canvassing Board detected just enough "ballot errors" to put Franken over the top. John Lott later analyzed the Board's inconsistent decisions, nearly all of which favored the Democratic candidate.

Some 17,000 more ballots were counted in the Minnesota Senate election than there were recorded voters. Mark Ritchie had dismantled the state's ballot reconciliation program, which previously required voting districts to validate the number of votes cast against the number of ballots issued.  Outside investigators also found that 1,400 convicted felons had voted illegally.

The Secretary of State Project is supporting Ritchie once again in 2010, pleased with what the organization refers to as "a scrupulously fair and transparent election recount."

More on the environment

United State of Goldman

The recent circus featuring democrats yelling at Goldman Sach's officials was politcal theater.  Goldman doesn't care.  

Greg found a site that collected data that reflected much of the information found on the hour show of Beck, the other day and I started to poke around, as well, but I only have one life to report on who actually runs the country and for whose benefit.  But first:

...The Financial Times reports that the cost of insuring Goldman's debt against default has increased by some 80% in the last two weeks. According to Markit, a 5-year credit default swap insuring $10m of Goldman debt currently costs around $162,000-a-year - more than it costs to purchase similar protection for Citi and Morgan Stanley.

• William C. Dudley, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York; was a partner and managing director at Goldman
• Gary Gensler, Chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission; spent 18 years at Goldman
• Mark Patterson, Chief of Staff to Tim Geithner; former Goldman lobbyist
• Philip Murphy; nominated for ambassador to Germany; former Goldman executive
• Diana Farrell; Deputy Director of the National Economic Council; formerly with Goldman
• Emil Michael; White House fellow; former investment banker with Goldman

then there are other Goldman folks,

Hank Paulson, Robert Rubin (largest contributor to Obama's senatorial campaign, )Robert Altman, Gregory Craig, Thomas Donilon, William Dudley, Douglas Elmendorf, of there are about twenty more:  HERE

Michelle Malkin wrote a good article called "All the President’s Goldman Men" but she only listed the usual suspects like Larry Summers, Timothy Geithner, Rahm Emanuel, Gary Gensler and Mark Patterson.

So, yelling at the shifty CEO on TV who praises the need for conrol is a cruel joke.  Next on the list of crimnal activity is the insertion of "cap and trade."  Where do the ten trillion dollars worth of credits trade:


Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX)

CCX is North America’s only voluntary, legally binding greenhouse gas reduction and trading system for emission sources and offset projects.  The companies joining the exchange commit to reducing their aggregate emissions by 6% by 2010....

CCX is operated by the public company Climate Exchange PLC, which also owns the European Climate Exchange. (As I understand it, the PLC is also partly owned by Goldman)

CCX is 10% owned by Goldman Sachs and 10% owned by Generation Investment Management (GIM).




Al Gore and GIM – Generation Investment Management

...Al Gore is Chairman of GIM, and David Blood — previously chief executive of Goldman Sachs Asset Management — is CEO.  The pair has given the company its nickname, “Blood and Gore.”...
GIM also owns a 2.98% stake in the Climate Exchange, which in turn owns the Chicago Climate Exchange (and has a larger 10% share in that). This gives Al Gore a financial bias towards promoting global warming control through the trading of carbon credits, one of Obama’s chief agenda items.

What else?

The Joyce Foundation and President Obama

President Barrack Hussein Obama was instrumental in funding the formation of the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX).  Before becoming a Senator, Obama was a Board Member of the Joyce Foundation, which gave nearly $1.1 million in two separate grants that were “instrumental in developing and launching the privately-owned Chicago Climate Exchange…”

Valerie Jarrett, one of Obama’s top advisors, is still on the board of directors for the Joyce Foundation.

It may be interesting to note that the Chicago Climate Exchange, in spite of its hype, is a veritable rat’s nest of cronyism. The largest shareholder in the Exchange is Goldman Sachs and  Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley is its honorary chairman.

The Joyce Foundation also funded money for John Ayers’ Chicago School Initiatives....

----  Finally

 According to the Washington Examiner, Goldman Sachs in 2008 alone gave to Obama's campaign $415,595.63 inflation adjusted, which was itself almost three times as much as Bush received.


Signed, Sealed, Delivered.  Imagine if Bush participate in ONE of the above frauds.

Climate symposium you wont see on TV

But you can watch on PJTV.COM, if so inclined.  Who is PJTV?  They produce top notch stuff.


Anyway, below are some of the people who don't realize the "science is settled."  Dr. Lindzen is speaking.  I have covered him several times over the year. He was the first to voice "BS" and was angry when the UN gaggle said he agreed with them.  Then, there is Lord Moncton, a piece of work.  The IPCC just made up stuff, like East Anglia U and NASA.

Eric Holder is Chauncey Gardener

Our Attorney General recently appeared before Congress where he said the radical Islamic terrorist in NYC was, in fact, instigated by the Taliban to kill Americans, but refused to say that means radical Islamic terrorists were involved in directing the radical terrorist into creating a bloodbath. He is  very sensitive to nuances most of us don't understand.


Putting aside whatever the poor man, who finds himself drowning in a real job, was trying to articulate, I found this more insightful.

In his near daylong appearance before the Judiciary Committee, Mr. Holder was repeatedly asked about Arizona's new immigration law, which the attorney general has criticized and suggested may run afoul of the Constitution.

Mr. Obama has asked the Justice Department to review the law to determine whether the federal government should try to block it before it takes effect at the end of July.

But Mr. Holder acknowledged to the committee that he hasn't read the law, and his criticisms were based on what he's seen on television or read in the newspapers about the law.

"I've just expressed concerns on the basis of what I've heard about the law. But I'm not in a position to say at this point, not having read the law, not having had the chance to interact with people who are doing the review, exactly what my position is," Mr. Holder said.

                   From Washington Times


THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES has spoken out against a law enacted by a state of the union and has been tasked to block it by the Man-Child-In-Chief, but he has not read the law!  HE WATCHES TV!  He is Chauncey Gardener!


Could you imagine a Bush lawyer saying he didn't read a law, but TV doesn't like a law, so he thinks it is unconstitutional?  Please, dust off the pollution of chaos this administration manufactures and think.  Holder's response would get him ejected from a mail-order law school.


I thought he was telling TV what to say! That would fit a good conspiracy theory. But, we learn, TV, as well as Goldman Sachs, tells the administration what to do!


We poor citizens are constructing all manner of arguments and devising simpleton logic to deal with people  who seem confused and delirious, only to find they do not care to understand what they are hearing.  They obey TV.


Keep this interchange with Congress in mind. Send it to friends. This represents a critical insight.

The picture above is from "They Live."  I recommend that one, as well as the original "V," if you want an Eric-Holder-historical reference.  Both films will chill you as consider the morning's paper. In "They Live," when you put on special glasses, you see the truth behind the subliminal power structure.  I don't remember the film being in black and white.  I won't give away the plot.

Core Issue; Intentional destruction of families by the left

For the second day running, the bulk of what I wrote vanished in Blogger.  It has a great feature that when you cut an paste, if you touch the left margin, the entire section above is highlighted and vanishes when your picky touches return.  You can't get it back.  Brilliant.


So, in mild disgust, let me recap as my view of a core issue in America. This is an important entry, so work through it. I could have broken it up, but read the whole thing.  You would have loved the first version.


I started with the recollection of a recent report that says, using me as a standard, being "1", people in the late thirties and forties are a "4" in the category of expectations. Today's college students are a "10".  Employers reading this know what is going on.  Where did this sense of entitlement come from, even as the competence of graduates plummets? 


In the LBJ era, Senator Moynihan was raised from obscurity as a scrivener in the bowels of government with the small, in-house printing of his "The Case for National Action." Moynihan was warning people about the social consequences of the destruction of the family.  He was raised by his mother.  His figures on children born without a father around:

1950:  Blacks - 18%   Whites - 3.5% (I think)  Harlem:  43%

1960:  Blacks - 60%   Whites - 26% 

Today's numbers:

2008:  Blacks - 72.3%    Whites - 40.6%

Moynihan, an old-school Democrat:

...a community that allows a large number of men to grow up in broken families, dominated by women, never acquiring rational expectations about the future - that comunity asks for and gets chaos.

The black community is starting to get it. 


This astounding destruction of the American culture was easily accomplished with the help of the Democrats, TV, schools, and movies. The thrust, narrowed to a headline, was "free love" and "bad priests." The actions taken by the left are designed and don't need central conspiracy to direct action. This is the original asymmetrical warfare. 

Behind their actions is the ancient words of Karl Marx, The Frankfurt School, etc.  These people have been quietly executing a plan to destroy western culture, family, religion, and economics.  If you think this is overblown, consider you are the frog in the pot of water gradually being heated until the frog dies.  


For God's sake stop listening to talking heads and put the current governmental actions into historical perspective. Anyway, sorry, back to the narrative. You can "Google" all this.  


When Hitler came to power, the Frankfurt school left Germany and settled in NY, a smart idea for Jewish Marxists. They established a formal relationship with Columbia University (get it, yet?). They went back after the capitalists beat Hitler, having established New York City as patient zero. 


You would have enjoyed my essay, but here is the bottom line.  Marx believes the family must be destroyed because it is the result of capitalism and, itself, causes exploitation of children by their parent.  I quote from the Communist Manifesto to show I am not setting up a straw dog to mock:

...What is the present family based on?  On capitalism, the acquisition of private property.  It exists in all of its meaning only for the bourgeoisie, but it finds its complement in the enforced lack of families of the proletarians and public prostitution.

The family of the (41) bourgeois naturally falls by the way-side with this, its complement, and both will vanish when capitalism vanishes.

Are you accusing us that we want to end the exploitation by parents of their children?  We confess to that crime.

But, you say, we abolish the closest relationships, by putting social education in place of the domestic one.

And, isn't your education, too, determined through society?  Through the social circumstances, within whose scope (42) you educate, through the direct or indirect involvement of society, by means of the education system, etc.?  The communists are not inventing the influence of society on education, they are only changing its character, they tear education away from the influence of the ruling class.

The common turns of speech about family and education, about the close relationships of parents and children become the more revolting the more as a result of burgeoning industrial development the family ties for the proletarian are torn apart and children are simply transformed into articles of trade and instruments of labour....

Marcuse of the Frankfurt School in his "Eros and Civilization" provides the theoretical basis for twisted, sexually disturbed Germans (see Freud, Jung, Hitler etc etc) to engage in irresponsible sex. Such an argument always find a home in adolescents and they were and are the target:

...He believes that a socialist society could change this by replacing the 'alienated labor' with "non-alienated libidinal work" thus resulting in "a non-repressive civilization based on 'non-repressive sublimation'". In other words, Marcuse believes that a socialist society could be a society without needing the performance of the 'poor' and without as strong a suppression of our drives as in today's society.

Cutting through all this, here is the bottom line:  To create a Marxist state the revolutionaries have to destroy religion and the family, as these normal human instincts block the establishment of the perfect state.  The Frankfurt school was pissed that modern labor (sorry, labour) was moving into the middle class and subject to its mores. They were no longer clear tools.  The Frankfurters saw the future revolution coming from blacks and women.  Read the paper, lately?


1984


Below is the theme of 1984 taken from the Wiki on H. G. Wells, 1984. (Its not a bad thing) The novel is a reduction to the absurd, you would hope, of the communist movement. Take the time to read the section below and reflect on what the Democratic Party is ramming through right now.  [I need to interject, most Democrats are useful idiots not realizing who is leading the charge. As Reagan quipped, "I didn't leave the Democratic Party, they left me." Or something like that.]


The True Believers know they are going to suffer a body blow this November, but don't care.  They would like to stay in power and are setting up the basis of future control, but they understand they hit a perfect storm and are "all in."  (Lately, I read that Goldman created the crisis two years ago in order to have their candidate win. I no longer dismiss theories about Goldman Sachs.)   


I don't think the typical American understands true belief and the ability to lose or die for an idea.  Relativism, the expressed philosophy of Mr. Clinton, has replaced religion, the Constitution, and the family.  You don't sacrifice yourself for a relative position. 


Below, see what Wells thought was a horror. We are closing in on it, so much that I am sure this book will quietly vanish from curricula.

Wiki - 1984

This novel is about a Utopia, an ideal state- a bad ideal state. It is therefore a novel about ideas, and its themes are as important as its plot. They will be studied in depth in the chapter-by-chapter discussion of the book. Most are expressed as fundamental principles of the Utopia, the brave new world. Some come to light when one character, a Savage raised on an Indian reservation, confronts that world. As you find the themes, try to think not only about what they say about Huxley's Utopia, but also about Huxley's real world- and your own.

1. COMMUNITY, IDENTITY, STABILITY- VERSUS INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM

Community, Identity, Stability is the motto of the World State. It lists the Utopia's prime goals. Community is in part a result of identity and stability. It is also achieved through a religion that satirizes Christianity- a religion that encourages people to reach solidarity through sexual orgy. And it is achieved by organizing life so that a person is almost never alone.

Identity is in large part the result of genetic engineering. Society is divided into five classes or castes, hereditary social groups. In the lower three classes, people are cloned in order to produce up to 96 identical "twins." Identity is also achieved by teaching everyone to conform, so that someone who has or feels more than a minimum of individuality is made to feel different, odd, almost an outcast.

Stability is the third of the three goals, but it is the one the characters mention most often- the reason for designing society this way. The desire for stability, for instance, requires the production of large numbers of genetically identical "individuals," because people who are exactly the same are less likely to come into conflict. Stability means minimizing conflict, risk, and change. 

2. SCIENCE AS A MEANS OF CONTROL

Brave New World is not only a Utopian book, it is also a science-fiction novel. But it does not predict much about science in general. Its theme "is the advancement of science as it affects human individuals," Huxley said in the Foreword he wrote in 1946, 15 years after he wrote the book. He did not focus on physical sciences like nuclear physics, though even in 1931 he knew that the production of nuclear energy (and weapons) was probable. He was more worried about dangers that appeared more obvious at that time- the possible misuse of biology, physiology, and psychology to achieve community, identity, and stability. Ironically, it becomes clear at the end of the book that the World State's complete control over human activity destroys even the scientific progress that gained it such control.

3. THE THREAT OF GENETIC ENGINEERING

Genetic engineering is a term that has come into use in recent years as scientists have learned to manipulate RNA and DNA, the proteins in every cell that determine the basic inherited characteristics of life. Huxley didn't use the phrase but he describes genetic engineering when he explains how his new world breeds prescribed numbers of humans artificially for specified qualities.

4. THE MISUSE OF PSYCHOLOGICAL CONDITIONING

Every human being in the new world is conditioned to fit society's needs- to like the work he will have to do. Human embryos do not grow inside their mothers' wombs but in bottles. Biological or physiological conditioning consists of adding chemicals or spinning the bottles to prepare the embryos for the levels of strength, intelligence, and aptitude required for given jobs. After they are "decanted" from the bottles, people are psychologically conditioned, mainly by hypnopaedia or sleep-teaching. You might say that at every stage the society brainwashes its citizens.

5. THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS CARRIED TO AN EXTREME

A society can achieve stability only when everyone is happy, and the brave new world tries hard to ensure that every person is happy. It does its best to eliminate any painful emotion, which means every deep feeling, every passion. It uses genetic engineering and conditioning to ensure that everyone is happy with his or her work.

6. THE CHEAPENING OF SEXUAL PLEASURE

Sex is a primary source of happiness. The brave new world makes promiscuity a virtue: you have sex with any partner you want, who wants you- and sooner or later every partner will want you. (As a child, you learn in your sleep that "everyone belongs to everyone else.") In this Utopia, what we think of as true love for one person would lead to neurotic passions and the establishment of family life, both of which would interfere with community and stability. Nobody is allowed to become pregnant because nobody is born, only decanted from a bottle. Many females are born sterile by design; those who are not are trained by "Malthusian drill" to use contraceptives properly.

7. THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS THROUGH DRUGS

Soma is a drug used by everyone in the brave new world. It calms people and gets them high at the same time, but without hangovers or nasty side effects. The rulers of the brave new world had put 2000 pharmacologists and biochemists to work long before the action of the novel begins; in six years they had perfected the drug. Huxley believed in the possibility of a drug that would enable people to escape from themselves and help them achieve knowledge of God, but he made soma a parody and degradation of that possibility.

8. THE THREAT OF MINDLESS CONSUMPTION AND MINDLESS DIVERSIONS

This society offers its members distractions that they must enjoy in common- never alone- because solitude breeds instability. Huxley mentions but never explains sports that use complex equipment whose manufacture keeps the economy rolling- sports called Obstacle Golf and Centrifugal Bumble-puppy. But the chief emblem of Brave New World is the Feelies- movies that feature not only sight and sound but also the sensation of touch, so that when people watch a couple making love on a bearskin rug, they can feel every hair of the bear on their own bodies.

9. THE DESTRUCTION OF THE FAMILY

The combination of genetic engineering, bottle-birth, and sexual promiscuity means there is no monogamy, marriage, or family. "Mother" and "father" are obscene words that may be used scientifically on rare, carefully chosen occasions to label ancient sources of psychological problems.

10. THE DENIAL OF DEATH

The brave new world insists that death is a natural and not unpleasant process. There is no old age or visible senility. Children are conditioned at hospitals for the dying and given sweets to eat when they hear of death occurring. This conditioning does not- as it might- prepare people to cope with the death of a loved one or with their own mortality. It eliminates the painful emotions of grief and loss, and the spiritual significance of death, which Huxley made increasingly important in his later novels.

11. THE OPPRESSION OF INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES

Some characters in Brave New World differ from the norm. Bernard is small for an Alpha and fond of solitude; Helmholtz, though seemingly "every centimetre an Alpha-Plus," knows he is too intelligent for the work he performs; John the Savage, genetically a member of the World State, has never been properly conditioned to become a citizen of it. Even the Controller, Mustapha Mond, stands apart because of his leadership abilities. Yet in each case these differences are crushed: Bernard and Helmholtz are exiled; John commits suicide; and the Mond stifles his own individuality in exchange for the power he wields as Controller. What does this say about Huxley's Utopia?

12. WHAT DOES SUCH A SYSTEM COST?

This Utopia has a good side: there is no war or poverty, little disease or social unrest. But Huxley keeps asking, what does society have to pay for these benefits? The price, he makes clear, is high. The first clue is in the epigraph, the quotation at the front of the book. It is in French, but written by a Russian, Nicolas Berdiaeff. It says, "Utopias appear to be much easier to realize than one formerly believed. We currently face a question that would otherwise fill us with anguish: How to avoid their becoming definitively real?"

By the time you hear the conversation between the Controller, one of the men who runs the new world, and John, the Savage, you've learned that citizens of this Utopia must give up love, family, science, art, religion, and history. At the end of the book, John commits suicide and you see that the price of this brave new world is fatally high.
