How The Elite Plays God

By Henry Makow Ph.D.

April 08, 2006 By Henry Makow, Ph.D. Like a cat toying with a mouse, the elite teases us with glimpses of our true predicament. One such peek was the 1998 movie The Truman Show directed by Peter Weir. Truman Burbank, played by Jim Carrey, is unaware his life is a live reality TV show. Everyone, including his wife, is an actor, and everything that happens is staged. In other words, his life is a fraud. Truman Burbank's predicament describes our own. According to John Coleman, the elite has been writing and directing the script for almost hundred years at the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations based in London. Coleman, 71, a former British Intelligence officer (MI-6) , first exposed the clique that dominates the world is his Conspirator's Hierarchy: The Story of the Committee of 300. (1992) As its title suggests, his latest book is a rambling cry of despair: The Tavistock Institute of Human Relations: Shaping the Moral, Spiritual, Cultural, Political and Economic Decline of the United States of America. (2005) The book is confirmation that a financial elite engineered every war and depression in modern history and continues to condition our beliefs and behavior. According to Coleman, Tavistock began life before WWI to convince peace loving populations of the need to massacre each other. "Those fresh-faced young American boys from Arkansas and North Carolina were sent marching off to Europe believing they were "fighting for their country" never knowing that the "democracy" [Woodrow] Wilson sent them to "make the world safe for" was a Socialist-International One World Government dictatorship." (42) Funded by the royal family, the Rockefellers and the Rothschilds, Tavistock pioneered the techniques of propaganda used to justify war. Outright lies about German atrocities in WWI resonate down through the decades to lies about Sadaam Hussein's gassing Kurds and killing babies in Kuwait. Of course the biggest lie of all is that Muslims had anything to do with Sept. 11. Coleman found that 94% of the key words and phases developed by Tavistock for WWII use "matched up with those used in the Korean War, the Vietnam War and the Gulf War." (153) Coleman's main point is we can't trust anything the mass media or government tells us, especially not the "News." He cites Stalin's propaganda chief Willy Munzenberg: "All news is lies and all propaganda is disguised as news." Coleman says society is rotten with institutions and organizations directed by Tavistock to deceive and distort. They are called "elite" institutions because of whom they serve. The conspiracy reaches right down to the local level. According to Coleman, Tavistock has an "invisible army" of actors found "today in the halls of justice, police, churches, school boards, sports bodies, newspapers, TV...town councils, state legislatures, and are legion in Washington. They run for every office..." Virtually every important corporation, university, think tank or foundation is linked to Tavistock. (See Conspirators' Hierarchy pp. 221-253 for a list.) It chooses the entertainers we watch, the pundits we listen to; the politicians we elect. Every US President since Theodore Roosevelt has been under its control. They made examples of rebels like JFK and Richard Nixon. Tavistock is behind every "spontaneous" social movement of the last century, including feminism, sexual "liberation", the peace movement, the "New Age" movement, environmentalism, homosexuality, and abortion. "The moral, spiritual, racial, economic, cultural and intellectual bankruptcy we are in the midst of today is not some social phenomenon...that just happened. Rather it is the product of a carefully planned Tavistock program," Coleman writes. We are constantly studied to see how we will react under stress. Orson Well's Martian invasion in 1938 was designed to demonstrate the power of the "news" to deceive. Coleman doesn’t mention it but the power blackout in the Northeast was probably another study of mass behavior. So was New Orleans. Confident of our sedated sheep-like behavior, Coleman says Tavistock went ahead and massacred David Koresh and his followers at Waco after lying about his activities. (240). Tavistock follows Sun Tsu's maxim of "Kill a few; terrorize many." Coleman calls Winston Churchill's decision to bomb German civilians "a war crime." Dresden was "an outright attack on Christianity, timed to take place during Lent," he says. (188) According to Coleman, Tavistock is waging war on the Muslim world because Islam represents an obstacle to its control. (151) He claims Russia and China still have a measure of independence. CONCLUSIONS We are in this jam because a small group of dynastic families have amassed unlimited wealth by usurping the government's money-creation role. To maintain this unjust advantage, they need to create a "world government" dictatorship. As in any colonial situation, our national elites are chosen by their willingness to collaborate with the occupying power. Most people will do whatever it takes to be "successful". Many think they are free citizens creating a better world. Like the two Jewish professors who criticized the Israel Lobby recently, they discover the reality when they stray from the script. The public is constantly under psychological attack. Turn on the news and we see 9-11 cover-up accomplice Rudolph Giuliani shedding crocodile tears with victims' families at patsie Zacharias Moussaoui's show trial. Al-Quaeda hijacker Mohammed Atta "mistakenly keyed the air traffic control microphone instead of the cabin intercom" and is heard talking to the frightened passengers! Sure. Meanwhile, the bird flu is coming to get us. Someone is burning black churches. Illegal aliens are flooding the country (despite the "heightened security" mandated by the "war on terror.") Jesus asked Judas to betray him. It goes on and on. People find the Illuminati to be an abstract and elusive enemy. Look no further than your television, your iPod, your radio, movie or newspaper. Coleman says 450 of the Fortune 500 companies get their marching orders from Tavistock. This may explain why TV commercials seem more concerned with behavior modification than with selling a product. I saw this gem recently. A little boy besieges a little girl with gifts. Each time she rejects him. Finally she accepts a vase full of flowers but slams the door in his face. She dumps the flowers in the garbage and uses the vase to gulp McCain's Kool-Aid. What a message to send to children! They are messing people up so we are too divided and dysfunctional to resist them. Like Truman Burbank, more and more people are recognizing the plot. They are testing the elite's story line and finding it mendacious and perverse. They are walking off the stage to find an authentic life. ------ Related: my "Is the New World Order Jewish?"

Don't fear. Tavistock may create elaborate plans, but let's face it, only God is God. Submit to God and not to Tavistock's fear campaign. Ignore the media. This life is only temporary, just a crazy test, and it will all be over quickly. God knows the truth. Tavistock and their armies will be crushed and burned, their time is very limited. They are the ones who should be afraid, very afraid.

like reading your blogs. There may be more to the Truman show than most
people realize. The matrix in which we live allows most to base their
thinking, their very lives on many false premises. Basing their lives on
error they then develop a vested interest in error. Easy to swallow, hard
the divest.
In this way those of the Travistock and the banking elite, parasites all,
can control people through their thinking or believe systems.
For example, the book "The Bible Unearthed" by an Israeli and American shows that Moses was not an historical character and the so-called Israelites were never in any captivity. Of course all the other early old
Testament characters are equally fictitious as are the new testament characters including Jesus.
The matrix is indeed complex.
---- Dean I wouldn't be so quick to throw Moses and Jesus on the historical scrap heap. The proof is that their teachings are still valid today. Henry

Congratulations for a succinct, to the “heart of the matter” dissertation. As I see it, the genuinely “sad fact” is that the vast majority of western humans have become “hypnotically programmed” sheeple, thus they will not resist for they view immediately “perceived reality” from their sheeple-like psychological stance. Tavistock and their StarTrek “Borg-like” approach to human affairs seems an apt metaphor here … “Resistance is futile!” Absent “divine” intervention, which is not overtly discernable in recorded history, how can resistance be mounted in and from the West? I am certain that the Chinese, simply by being Chinese in thought and analytic techniques, long ago deduced Tavistock’s “plan”, and they will only “play” as long as they can benefit. What this will ultimately produce is yet to unfold. Interesting times, to be sure Larry said (April 09, 2006):
Your article reminds me of a photo I saw that was taken in a local bank in Baytown, Texas in 1950. There were perhaps 100 people in the lobby. All were well dressed, of normal weight and American citizens.

Since then, Baytown no longer has a downtown. It died. They're only strip malls, big chains and fast food restaurants along a drag on the north side of town. The bank was moved and bought out by a conglomerate and if another picture was taken in the lobby today I'm afraid all we'd see would be a bunch of fat slobs mixed with illegal aliens.

It's horrifying to know that NONE of this was just happenstance.

I find it frustrating and disheartening, to say the least, that the bulk of people just won't wake up. I know about the NWO conspiracy, the Illuminati, the deliberate degradation of morals in western society, the abolition of
the role of the male, and the coming Police-State. Most people cringe, scoff
or roll their eyes when confronted with the world's harsh reality, believing
it to be nothing more than a collection of paranoid conspiracy theories. After all, most of them are under the false impression (one that has been pushed onto them since birth) that they are doing the right thing, and that world-leaders care about them, etc. For doing the right thing by the world,
and trying to educate people with the facts and harsh truth, I have been called 'delusional', 'paranoid', 'crazy', 'anti-social', and my personal favourite 'terrorist sympathiser' (makes me chuckle). This is how the flock of mind-altered sheep repay original-thinkers that attempt to lead them to
greener pastures. However, none of this is a deterrent: I believe in doing the right thing; not conforming to someone elses standards, which are just downright wrong. In a few years all those sheep will look back and say "heck, if only we'd listened and done the right thing in the first place".

Although I do believe that conspiracy exists, I also believe none of it would happen if God almighty has not ordained it. Tavistock Institute is not god. We can fight them, because they're humans too. If people forgets that, they will succumb to hopelessness in the face of this grand devilish plot. Please remind your reader often that they shouldn't give up.

I'm pleased to see your article tonight focuses on media's primary role being social engineering. Yes, selling products is secondary to that.
Now that I'm connected to marketing 'experts' here in Houston again, I can tell you that advertizing specialists pay primary attention to
selling the product within the 'correct' social 'package', first.
Naturally it's simpler for them to encourage 'trends' so as to have a
compliant and predictable public. I watch these guys work and go to the brain storming meetings, and what I deduce is that the entire advertizing and marketing profession has been subverted into being mouth pieces for the think tanks like Tavistock who actually devise how they
want people to think and behave this year and next. You got very close in this article to telling readers the obvious personal solution to step out of the herd. Turn off the television!
Commercials, shows, 'reality tv', CNN, whatever it is, they are all selling us a simulacra of reality that as Frank Zappa once said, "maybe
you shouldn't ought to buy".
