With the media spotlight trained on scandals like the oil-for-food boondoggle, Kofi annan and the Old Boy’s Network running the United Nations are making a cottage industry out of the occult.
Indeed, the idea of employing the occult as a means to manipulate people seems to be making the greatest UN comeback since the days when Rasputin was lording it over the Romanovs.
The United Nations’ promise of peace on earth hasn’t materialized, but meanwhile you can sign up for the occult at UN headquarters.
There are the twice-a-week meditation sessions held by the UN’s official Indian meditation instructor Sri Chinmoy, whose specialty is lulling audiences into trances with music. You don’t have to wait for Halloween, either.
Chinmoy, who says he was Thomas Jefferson in another life, also happens to be a champion weight lifter. an Ottawa telephone caller told Canadafreepress.com that she had witnessed Chinmoy hold "the much heavier" Desmond Tutu over his head at a recent UN function in New York City.
although it sounds like something straight out of science fiction, in the aftermath of 9/11, the sloop Clearwater sailed the Earth Charter to New York, following the charter’s ceremonious, mega mile trek through open farmfields. Covered in goatskin and gilded, the Earth Charter is the replacement for the Ten Commandments, as devised by UN Old Boy Network members Maurice Strong and former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev.
If that’s not enough to swing you over to Gaia, the UN’s official Mother-Earth centered global religion, how about annan’s predecessor Javier Perez de Cuellar, Secretary-General of the UN from 1982 to 1992? He claims he was whisked away by aliens on Nov. 30, 1989.
Perez de Cuellar has been downright dodgy when closely checked about the veracity of this event, but in response to an enquiry about the matter from the Prince of Liechtenstein, he did not deny that it happened.
The blueblood of Liechtenstein comes not from the castle but from the status of being a world authority on UFOs.
Remember UN’s Secretary-General U Thant? He was a mystic, too.
Then there’s the spookdom of new ager special UN advisor and Kyoto architect Maurice Strong; Strong’s wife runs a 200,000-acre New age spiritual colony ranch in Crestone, Colorado.
If you’ve suspected things that go bump in the night are in evidence while visiting the UN’s Manhattan headquarters, remember it was built on the site of a former slaughterhouse.
and then there’s Dag Hammarskjold, who in describing the UN meditation room wrote that its lodestone is "dedicated to God whom man worships under many names and in many forms."
Is there something about UN secretary-generals and the occult, or are we all just having a conspiracy moment?
In fairness, there is no proof that Kofi annan himself is an apostle of al Gore’s gaia. But he certainly had no jitters about the meditation room when he married his Swedish wife there.
It was back in the 1960s when hippies of the day, tired of live-by-the-rule rule Christianity and Judaism, turned in flocks to the spiritual practices of the mystical east.
With a lot of help from Hollywood stars like Richard Gere, the lamas opened the floodgates to the greatest revolution in their history by morphing eastern beliefs into western tastes.
It was in 1959 that the Dalai Lama rode a pony out of Tibet and in 1992 that he was brought in to ensure the success of Hanna Strong’s religious ceremonies at the Rio Summit.
Society’s lost souls were looking for "something" way before the 60s. Quirky circumstances strewn throughout history added to a growing belief in superstitions and the occult.
according to Increase Mather (1639-1723), "Charles 1 of England had a black cat, which he carried with him everywhere he went, claiming that the cat was his luck.
"When the cat died, the king wailed, `My luck is gone.’ He was arrested the next day and beheaded."
Wrote Leslie Fleischer in The Cat’s Pajamas, "There are some who if a cat accidentally comes into a room, though they neither see it, nor are told of it, will presently be in a sweat, and ready to die."
So given society’s belief in superstition and generations coming along looking for new answers, it shouldn’t be difficult for the world’s largest bureaucracy to corral the sheep.
Gregory Efimovich Rasputin, who centuries later remains a man of the shadows, got nothing on the UN. His own web page still asks: "Was he a miracle worker or just a crafty manipulator of the Imperial Family?"
Is the UN’s world destined religion of gaia better than the bible, or is the UN just having the rest of us on?
