One Ring to rule them all
One Ring to find them
One Ring to bring them all
And in the darkness bind them,
In the Land of Mordor
Where the shadows lie
- J.R.R. Tolkien, “The Lord of the Rings”
“…To put it in a terminology that harkens back to the more brutal age of ancient empires, the three grand imperatives of imperial geostrategy are to prevent collusion and maintain security dependence among the vassals, to keep tributaries pliant and protected, and to keep the barbarians from coming together.”
– Zbigniew Brzezinski, The Grand Chessboard, (1997) p.40
“Universal peace will come only when [the] powers have divided the world between them….or if one nation becomes overwhelmingly superior to the rest….people who can look forward and grasp the essential factors which will govern the future grouping of the nations may be able to exert a profound influence on the political future of the world.”
– Arthur Balfour, British Prime Minister 1902-1905, in a letter (1909) to former US President Theodor Roosevelt
“If [Man] did not open himself to these tendencies to evil he would not succeed in developing consciously the impulse to receive from the universe the spirit which henceforth must fertilise the whole sphere of cultural life if it is not to perish.”
– Rudolf Steiner (Lecture V, From Symptom to Reality in Modern History, 1918)
In other words, without the profound challenge to the human spirit and soul that comes in the struggle with evil, Mankind in this modern age would not develop spiritually, and culture would wither. The New World Order is not to be hated, but its challenge is to be learned from and in the overcoming of it, humanity shall grow.

Kennedy in 1963, or possibly even in the days of Senator Joe McCarthy’s...
read more© Terry Boardman One of the keys to control of central Asia is oil and its role as a tool with which to facilitate interference in other countries’ affairs. Dependence by the Atlanticists on oil requires territorial control of other countries. Dependence on alternative energies, especially solar, would remove the instrument of such control. Therefore the Atlanticists are unlikely to make any serious effort to develop alternatives to fossil fuels until about the third decade of the 21st century, by which time they hope to have...
read more©Terry Boardman June 2002 Christ came to earth so that each one of us could find the meaning of our own being – our relationship to the spiritual world – for ourselves in true spiritual freedom. With the Incarnation of Christ the age of spiritual elitism or spiritual aristocracy – the age of priests – came to an end; the seeds were planted for a spiritual democracy. Few lessons stand out more clearly from the way in which Christ dealt with the spiritual authorities in the Holy Land at that time. He referred to those...
read moreTerry Boardman February 2008 100 years ago in 1908, people were told that the new 20th century would be one of wonderful progress for humanity. Few people in Europe saw a World War just a few years off, but small cliques of people in several countries were preparing and planning for it. Because the majority were not awake to what that minority were doing (not least because of the distractions, lies and misinformation in the Press), the majority suffered horribly 1914-1919 and went on to suffer even worse just 20 years later (1939-45); then,...

There was a big bang of sorts in Zimbabwe.The ‘Big Bang particle collider machine’ was switched on at CERN, but a few days later turned out to be a damp squib. And then of course, there was the real Big Bang – once again, as seven years ago, in New York. Where we are now In the immediate aftermath of 9/11 Tony Blair made a well-publicised speech in...

The 'Global Awakening' that Zbigniew Brzezinski (the USA political strategist) feared has arrived, he announced...
