The Seduction of the Knowledge-Based Society
January 7, 2011 by Jeff Gates · 12 Comments
The most promising trend in geopolitics is the transition from hydrocarbon-based economies to knowledge-based societies. Leadership for that change is emerging from Arab nations.
The appeal of the Knowledge Society is apparent. Who could object to nations preparing their citizens for the 21st century? Yet unless knowledge is changed, the result could worsen an already dangerous situation.
The sharing of values and knowledge has long been the best way to bridge cultures and promote peace. That strategy is now essential to counter the success of those promoting The Clash of Civilizations.
Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates are breaking new ground with education models that build on state-of-the-art information and communication technologies.
This is the inevitable path for the Middle East and North Africa. Yet despite the best of intentions, if knowledge itself is not changed, the impact on Arab societies could aggravate trends that undermine progress.
Just consider the costs when knowledge is corrupted….
How Zionists Corrupt Knowledge
Those who induced the U.S. to war in the Middle East deployed knowledge like a weapon. With lengthy pre-staging, a narrative emerged that made it appear plausible—even desirable—to invade Iraq in response to the provocation of 911.
In retrospect, we now know that the knowledge on which the U.S. relied was false. All of it.
Iraqi WMD. Iraqi ties to Al Qaeda. Iraqi meetings in Prague with Al Qaeda. Iraqi yellowcake uranium from Niger. Iraqi mobile biological laboratories. All false, all traceable to pro-Israelis and all portrayed as true by media outlets dominated by pro-Israelis.
The Knowledge Society holds great potential to connect the Arab world globally. And to build with the West cross-border understanding and empathy. That is the Knowledge Society at its best. At its worse, knowledge can be exploited to manipulate behavior.
The ongoing manipulation of thought and emotion in the U.S. typifies the danger. When Arab nations grasp the common source of the false knowledge that brought war to the region, both the perils and the promise of the Knowledge Society will become apparent.
Yet even the risk of being seduced to war understates the threat. In the modern era, psychological operations (“psy-ops”) are routinely deployed to create consensus opinions and generally accepted truths—akin to the truth of Iraqi WMD.
Mindset Manipulation
The modern-day battlefield is the shared field of consciousness. Where else could consensus opinions reside? Or generally accepted truths. There too are found “field-based” phenomena such as credibility and celebrity that are also deployed to exploit thought and emotion.
When waging field-based warfare, the power of association ranks near the top as effective weaponry. For example, with global public opinion the target, Zionists arranged for U.N. testimony in February 2003 by Secretary of State Colin Powell who vouched for intelligence showing that Iraq had mobile biological weapons laboratories.
When the U.N. Security Council and a global television audience watched the testimony of this former four-star general, what they saw was his reputation for honesty. By the power of association, his credibility “bled over” to grant legitimacy to phony intelligence.
General Powell was only a celebrity prop in an elaborately staged play meant to enhance the plausibility of a global war on terrorism. That war began six weeks later.
Where other than in plain sight could such duplicity succeed? You can be watching field-based warfare and still not see it.
Even now, Powell may not yet grasp how two field-based properties (credibility and celebrity) were key to the psy-ops that seduced the U.S. to war for an Israeli agenda.
Freedom from Deceit
Mental and emotional exploitation lie at the heart of how knowledge is corrupted to catalyze conflicts, manipulate behavior and influence affairs from afar.
With a solid grasp of the methodology of deceit, the Knowledge Society can expose and, by design, displace those complicit in this cunning form of combat.
In preparing for the 21st Century, Arab nations have an opportunity to free their citizens from the exploitation of those who for centuries have abused knowledge for their selfish ends.
Much of that abuse now proceeds through the unfettered freedom allowed finance. Educated over decades in a “consensus” mindset, lawmakers worldwide now believe in financial freedom as a proxy for personal freedom—regardless of the real-world results.
For the Knowledge Society to realize its potential, modern-day information and communication technologies must make these various forms of duplicity apparent and the perpetrators transparent.
Only with widespread knowledge of how facts can be displaced with false beliefs can the Knowledge Society be protected from such treachery.
I find it hard to believe that Colin Powell fooled any right thinking person. I took U.S. behavior at its true face value and pragmatically decided to alleviate a crushing case of being broke. Oil , real estate and easy credit, all capitalist war fighting tools, just be out of their way when the bolder starts back down the hill. The most educated Pollyanna is always going to be a sucker to the nutbars that run this world.

It’s Iran and Turkey and not the US-Israel controlled countries like Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates which are breaking new ground with education models that build on state-of-the-art information and communication technologies.

Lawmakers are NOT devoted to “financial freedom,” although they pretend to be.
What they ARE devoted to is having the power to REGULATE economic (and financial) activity. Having this power, they have all the power they want to aggrandize themselves. Calling on government is calling on these very politicians to “crack down.”
They’d be happy to oblige – even if it damages economic activity further (it will), it will enable them to take bigger slices of the smaller pie and end up ahead of the game.
(Real) economic freedom is the SOLUTION, not the PROBLEM, and this freedom can be gained and kept ONLY by disempowering these very politicians and their predatory governments.

Any freedom without responsiblity – always gives rise to fascism and create disparity within the societies and the world at large.
The rich and parasites, who have been the main beneficiary of capitalist system – also created wage-disparity, bankruptcy, loan, paper-money, credit cards, and world monetary organizations like World Bank, IMF, Frderal Reseve, etc. – to keep their grip over world monetary system, so much so, that during every recession – it’s the poor majority which suffers, while the rich become richer on the expense of their victims – the taxpayers.
Capitalism is based on shear philosophy of loot – where the major shareholders of banking institutes take public money (deposit) against lower interest rates and then loan the same money (invest) to businesses and individuals against much higher interests rates to earn profits. The projectors of this system call it ‘the risk taking’ – that if banks’ investment suffer a loass – the depositor is still ensure of his/her ‘profit’ in the shape of interest. However, in practice it never happens that way. The bank loss is always covered by ‘low or no annual raise’ for the employees or some additional ‘service charges’ to the customers – or the banking institution declaring an outrght bankruptcy- which is usually put on the taxpayers’ shoulders – for the fear of more layoffs and thus increased unemployment – while the rich bank shareholders keep receiving their fat salaries and annual bonuses………

Rehmat, you are not describing capitalism – you are describing CORPORATISM, in which the solicitation and granting of government favor$ distorts rational behavior into what is called rent-seeking. Large entities (yes, corporations – there ARE small ones, too) dominate this game the same way large governments dominate small ones – they can and do mobilize the votes required to keep in office those who granted them favors and will continue to grant them more (all, as you say, at our expense).
DO NOT be fooled into giving power to the same or any other group of bureaucrats OR elected representatives – they will just abuse it, perhaps in new ways, or perhaps, like Obama, in the same old ways that got him and the present crew elected in the first place.
Repeal, rescission, recall, removal. Don’t fall victim to those who propose to wield enormous power to right old wrongs and restore you. We take care of each other best when we are free, not when some of us (whether many or few) enslave the others.

Knowledge can also be a reference to awakening and awareness; of being among the living and not the living dead. The battlefields are not only prepared and executed from our world as we perceive it (“shared field of consciousness”), but are also happening at a collective subconscious level (to some people this might be a spiritual level).
While technology and science have been used for nefarious purposes, I still agree that the capabilities of technology are also the key to helping humanity recover the Knowledge that is locked up in that subconscious strata of our brain…. people purposely (for survival reasons) lock up and throw the key away to their subconscious. There is an old saying that says something like “when the student is ready, the teacher will appear”. The Archons are doing everything possible to make sure humanity does not wake up, because when they do it will be the end of the Archons. They will dissolve before our eyes, like dreams fading upon awakening. Or should that be the other way around? When we awake from a dream are we really just falling asleep?
In shlomo Sands’ book “the invention of the jewish people” he goes into all the details of how the zionists re-wrote history to create this national identity that went back thousands of years, un-interrupted. He explains that there was no diaspora. That Dinur and Baer and some other early zionist historians twisted facts and basically lied to create this myth that the Jews original homeland was the Palestinians lands.
He makes the case that the Palestinians are/were the original inhabitants of these lands; That the majority of Jews converted to Islam when it spread to their lands. The zionists from Europe have no links genetically or historically to these lands. Its a really good book and written by an Israeli Ex-jew that teaches in Tel Aviv.
There must be more blackmail than we can possibly know about that is going on. I have no idea how they were able to get almost the entire U.S. congress to back them, especially when they were openly using chemicals and other wmd against Gaza.
But even if Israel disappeared overnight, we would still have zionism ruling the day. It is all over Europe and North America. I just think it may be a lot worse than we even know.
People are still not talking about the banking cartel that appears to be the top of the pyramid. The trans-Atlantic cartel started long ago and its handi-works are now becoming more and more evident…thanks to current technology.
Almost everything leads back to the private centralized banking system: institutions, governments, corporations, banks, debt, wealth, and profit. The Federal Reserve used to be off limits for discussion, but that is changing. It may soon be replaced by an international reserve.
The entire U.S. is being taken out. Just like what happened to Russia almost 100 years ago. The wealthy bankers, both Euro and American, have looted the nations while leaving the rest of us all their debts.
I think Israel has much control over the U.S. congress. But the direction of the wind is saying that there is even more to this story than meets the eye. Because hardly nobody is talking about the European side of this issue. Big families and banks run all of Europe. The Warburgs were involved in setting up the private Federal Reserve in the U.S.
I think Israel has become a major headache to its handlers up in Europe.

Good to see I can read your site without someone, or something, trying to destroy my CPU. But I did buy your excellent book, “Guilt by Association” so I managed alright.
All the best to you, Mr. Gates…

Excellent point, and very true…

Freedom is freedom, like justice is justice. (Social justice, financial freedom)
Freedom of one party to enter into any agreement that they both wish to enter into, whether this agreement is “social” or “financial.”
Are “financial” offerings too complex for you (or do you decline to exert the effort required to evaluate the agreements you enter into)? Don’t enter into them!
Do you NEED to do things like write checks, and deposit them? Then drive the money-changers (regulators) from the temple (banks) in which you do these things. You’ll find they’ve outlawed anyone from entering into these businesses but them (again, regulations).
OUT with laws/regulations on these matters! Freedom, frightening though it might seem to you, is your ONLY salvation.

Well, how very Ron Paul of you…
You might well be right – I’ve never really understood the fine details of his ideas regarding how doing away with the Federal gov’t will solve America’s and the world’s problem.
But I tend to think it’s not the way forward because there will be a hell of alot of people disenfranchised by such a move – and Paul doesn’t ever seem to answer that question adequately for me. Which is a shame, because Paul probably represents the ONLY chance – and a small one at that – of positive change happening through the two party(ONE party)system. I think both parties are Zionist owned and operated – I can’t see Paul getting the chance to be the Republican Presidential nomination….
