Who Is In Control?

In life we are confronted with many questions which begin at birth, and continue through a lifetime. They may present themselves in a very direct manner, or they can be on a near subliminal level, but either way they are there, persistent, ever present, and we ignore them at our own peril. Which is precisely what a lot of us do for various reasons. Frequently it is because we do not wish to deal with the reality which only an honest answer may produce, so rather than be dishonest, we plead ignorance instead. especially when it comes to the more troubling questions pertaining to our purpose for being here, the meaning of life, etc. For those things, we intrust our God given responsibility to our spiritual leaders who always seem to be so conveniently available. We either elect or condone governments to assume responsibility for our civic duties. In one way or another we go to great lengths to avoid having to deal with the really important issues and questions in life.
One such problem which an increasing number of people are concern with has to do with the ongoing explosion of technology, both it's advantages, and disadvantages, but more notably the social disruption which is becoming more and more difficult to ignore. Artificial Intelligence, and Virtual Reality, not to mention cloning, and DNA experimentation may all pose a bigger threat to our survival than we wish to admit. Questions such as these must be answered honestly with total disregard for every issue or motive apart from the very survival of the human race. Questions such as; Who is in control of it? Is there an alien influence? and How can we be free of it?
Those are the kinds of questions which I have struggled with for many years, especially since the day of my awakening around 1988, and they are indeed most intriguing. I still lack a definitive answer, but I can summarize the evidence I have discovered so far and where it seems to point. I would preface my comments with the fact that my viewpoint and analysis tends toward a classical scientific approach to problem solving, which attempts to solve the paradoxes inherent to the existing paradigm. As a troubleshooter in the field of electronics, I can attest to the observation that this method has been successful every time it has been tried. There are many failures which claimed to adhere to this procedure, but that is their fraud, because they tend to discredit the true scientific method. Many of them have failed because they were designed to prove a belief as opposed to discovering the truth.
Who is in control of developing and deploying the super high tech realities of modern life? Knowledge is power, so who is going to end up in control of these powerful technologies? In large measure, we all share responsibility for the development when we utilize, and build dependencies around these technologies, but the trend suggests that we have virtually no control over the more important areas of their application. For a growing number of people, this is becoming painfully clear as the means of production is not only leaving their country, but the jobs themselves are being increasingly taken over by machines. The argument in defense of this trend has always been a fraudulent one, because it fails to address the question of what people will do for a living when the ultimate conclusion is realized and machines do everything for us. I have a hunch that we would not be very happy with the answer to that question. Already they talk openly of "useless eaters", "over population", and population control, all under the guise of "Sustainable Development". It should be obvious that power is gradually being concentrated in the hands of fewer and fewer people. Through mergers and acquisitions, the competitive marketplace is disappearing. NGO's (Non-Government Organizations) are taking on greater portions of what has been government duties. Special interest groups control government. The people have no voice in the UN, but NGO's do.
However, I have faith that there is a Creator of all the universe who is able to exercise ultimate control of the situation. Therefore, the outcome will be good for some of us, but before that happens the technology will continue to be deployed, and our prospects for peace and security will continue to be threatened. My definition of faith is the correct one I'm sure, and it differs significantly with the dictionary definition which conforms to popular usage, and confuses it's true meaning with belief. I have described belief sufficiently elsewhere, so I will briefly address the proper function and definition of faith. Faith is the "assured expectation of things hoped for though not seen". Faith applies to things that are known to exist, things which we say are "selfevident", like the force of gravity for example. We don't necessarily understand them, and they are proper subjects for study and investigation, but their existence may not be questioned. They are the sort of things which only fools will deny. The universe presents it's own evidence of an intelligent designer, therefore it is selfevident as a fundamental scientific principle in fact. We have that as a sure foundation to work from, so all legitimate scientific studies will be directed toward the explanation of that given.
The present system seeks an opposite bottom up approach to find the "first cause" of our existence thereby pretending to ignore the most fundamental fact. That's why I can say for a certainty, that such a search is self doomed to fail because it attempts to prove a lie. It's the same lie told to Eve that she had no need for God, in that she could be "like God" They have stumbled upon a lot of "things", and compiled voluminous amounts of data, and it has spawned a lot of technology, but there is a nearly complete lack of real understanding of the underlying scientific principles. Nuclear energy is a prime example. This technology was developed and deployed in the total absence of a clue as to it's longterm effects, or what to do with the waste material. The tragic results are routinely defended as in war and power generation, or else swept under the rug and ignored as in waste disposal and the risk of an accidental leak (ignore, ignor-ant, lack of knowledge). It's analogous to a small child in a war zone who discovers a bomb, and attempts to play with it.
So, Who is in control of the system that seems to be going mad? Since we cannot point to an individual or even a small group, I am convinced that the answer is found in the same source that has foretold the present and coming situation. The Bible records that Jesus identifies Satan the Devil as "the ruler of the world". The only thing I will add to that is that there is abundant evidence that he has thousands (perhaps millions) of willing complices who actually do the dirty work.
Is it alien technology? Artificial Intelligence, and Virtual Reality are technologies which may be analyzed in the same way as nuclear energy. They are more the product of ignorance than evidence of intelligent design. Technology as we presently know it, has the human signature all over it. In all cases, the development and use of technology is determined to some extent by a predefined need, but otherwise by market forces with no regard for the larger implications. There is nothing magical nor alien about any of the technologies themselves. The replication of the original discoveries is easily accomplished by any serious student. The explanatory conclusions, and applications of those technological discoveries are no better than the premises on which they are made, but the underlying principles upon which they absolutely depend are unaffected by the false claims and explanations. The phenomenon is real.
Evidence of the existence of previous civilizations implies technologies vastly superior to what we now have, but if my argument is credible, then it will be clear that the nature of those societies, and their moral character is the source of their technologies. It is a badly flawed argument that other human social orders would necessarily behave in the same manner as our own. If their technology was superior, it was not because they came from Mars, but because they were in closer proximity to the purpose of their Creator, and that leads into the next question.
How do we free people of it? People need a higher moral code of conduct. There is no method of coercion, or persuasion that will accomplish this. Individuals need to be elevated to their proper status of a creature made in the image of the Almighty Creator. Such individuals will be self motivated by their own sense of dignity to fulfill a higher purpose than their own. An individual accountable only to the supreme universal authority will conduct his life in a way that glorifies that authority, and he seeks to achieve the will of that authority. By doing so, we will be in harmony with the universe, which is itself, "declaring the glory of God".
Religion in all it's forms, ancient and modern, as well as government as history records it, have all served a lower purpose of destroying the dignity of the individual by holding him accountable to the standards of their own authority. Until all such evil abuses of authority of one man over another are forever abolished man will be unable to realize his true worth, and higher calling.
So, who is in control? Let us pray that an all wise, all powerful Creator will successfully defend his sovereign authority and defeat the evil influence under which we struggle. That prayer will be answered, for it is prophesied to be so. We need to forgo our differences, beliefs, prejudices, racial and class divisions and work toward the common objective of both God and man. Such people will be the ones who have the moral fortitude, and fitness to survive the end of evil. Lyndon H. LaRouche has estimated their number at around 1% of the present population. From my viewpoint, it looks like that may be a good number.
If my analysis is correct, then we need not fear the threat of technology, and we should not feel sorry about the destruction of the ungodly. We should, however offer "a little help" to deserving ones who demonstrate a desire to assume responsibility for their own conduct.
