The other day I browsed through Dan Brown's earlier novel, Angels & Demons. I was first introduced to Dan Brown through an Evangelical Christian Biblical Studies Professor (at a school that interestingly enough banned any participation of its Faculty and Staff in "secret societies.").
As I read Brown's earlier account, rather than jumping on the "this is all fiction" bandwagon (for example the view of many so-called "experts" in Theology) instead I kept a more open mind.
Well, I am not sure of the details, but there ARE in fact these buildings in Egypt called Pyramids. Also, although I cannot divulge the details, when I joined a Fraternity in College (the Kappa Sigma Fraternity, Delta Chapter of Davidson College), in addition to Christian symbology, yes, there were non-Christian symbols also used.
Again, as a former Kappa Sig frat boy, I will not divulge what I know, but suffice it to say, "secret societies" do exist, do have "coded language" and yes, in fact, do control many of the Financial Structures of the World.
But, what are we to do about this situation as Americans?
Is the answer to just "join the masons," or "join Kappa Sig" and then, boom, you are guaranteed of "insider access" irregardless of qualifications?
Well, no . . .
Hopefully, our society is further along the path of civic virtue to de-generate into "good ole boys club" cliquish elitism.
Instead, let us, rather than "inverting the pyramid," instead just copy Plato's Republic and have a pyramid built on Virtue instead!
Plato, in The Republic, proposed that the proper structuring of society is a three-part structure of mercantile class at the bottom (a.k.a. the businessman), then military class in the middle (a.k.a. The United States Departments of Defense and Homeland Security), and finally, at the top, those who are greatest in Virtue, the Noble "Philosopher Kings."
So, there you have it. Whether or not "secret societies exist" is a moot point (they do, there are ample historical records attesting their existence and continuing attempts at power-politics!), but the true question is What sort of U.S.A. do we desire? Do we desire a 'good-ole boy' network running the country? OR do we want the "best & brightest" minds, character, etc. running the U.S.A.?
Try a new angle, Vote Rob J. King in 08 . . .
Respectfully your servant,
Rob J King, seeking a WORD on whether to run or not . . .
