It is true that against the arts of a fawning writer we are easily upon our guard. Butreadily swallowed are bitterness and calumnies ; since, while in sycophancy thereappears the detestable guilt of servitude and debasement, detraction and invective
 
come covered under the deceitful disguise of boldness and free speech. To me neither was

, and by

advanced yet higher, I would by no means disown. But by those who, likeme, profess to deliver truth, naked and uncorrupt, nor personal affection nor personalhate must be admitted in their Characters of men. If life remain, I have reserved, for the study and employment of my old age, the reign of the deified Nerva, with that of the Emperor

; a work more copious, as well as more safe. Such is the rarefelicity of these times, when you are at full liberty to entertain what sentiments youwill, and to declare what sentiments you entertain.(

Preface
This year, 2009, is the 150
th
anniversary of the publication of Darwin’s
Origin of Species
.
The Origin of Species
stands as the greatest ever monument to raw, unabashed,naked knowledge, that humanity has ever had the fearlessness to produce.The current celebration of Darwin’s achievement, realised in the publication ofhis profound scientific revelation, affirms this impression of unassailable fearlessness in the pursuit of true knowledge, and the entire intervening period of a century and a half alsoaffirms the greatness of the achievement. I must confess that I have not watched any of the programmes produced by the BBC for release at the beginning of this year, tocelebrateDarwin’s achievement. I could not however avoid the promotions of Attenborough’s programmes, and I noticed the last show was promoted as covering the twenty year strugglefaced by Darwin to bring his insights to the notice of the world. Was the ‘struggle’ to do withhis inner consciousness, or due to efforts made by society at large to suppress his work ? Iought to of watched these shows just so that I could answer this question, but as it was, Icould not bring myself to stomach any more than a few bars of the same old, tedious,establishment propaganda. What is for sure, is that once the cat was out of the bag, Darwin’srevelation exploded upon the world and became the clarion call of the establishment, like noother before, in an instant, and has remained so ever since.The promotional line attached to the current round of reinforcement declares that
TheOrigin of Species
caused us to discover an entirely new way of looking at existence,
 
effectively ushering in the modern age by removing the darkness of ignorance that hadhitherto blinded all those who lived before the publication of this epoch making work. Sothat our enduring state of opaque ignorance, that passed for knowledge, became naked truth,shattering, shocking, but exhilarating, for its revelation of naked knowledge.Or so the story goes . . . . the official story, touted by the establishment. But herewe shall be telling a different tale, a tale no one is supposed to know.
The Arrow of Knowledge
Introduction
Despite our preliminary observations, which suggest that the way people experiencelife is subject to a process of continual examination, leading to an ever advancing change inour attitudes, epitomised by our modern acceptance of evolution as announced by Darwin,the exact opposite is the case.At the level of everyday experience there is continual change in the modern world.The whole thrust of our social experience today is about change, so that we often findourselves being lectured on change and how to cope with it, as we are constantly told whatchange means, and what it does not mean. In school we are trained to accept information provided by authoritative sources as true, we are spoon fed ideas by trained professionals,who were trained to train othersas they have been trained themselves. Then, as adults, weunwittingly accept the media, by which we mean all public communication, including thingslike books and television programmes, as an independent sourcesof information, just as we believed our teachers to be. But the media exist to continue feeding us, as adults, the social‘honey’ of homogenised information, that we learnt to receive unquestioningly as children,and upon this foundation conformity is enforced.The training procedure is complex and has been developed by professionals for centuries. As individuals we cannot hope to compete with its sophistication, which includescounter intelligence instructions on questioning that teach us to challenge everything, whileother devices of the knowledge structure ensure that this command is never acted upon. Byteaching us certain absolutes, such as Darwin put in place, that are placed upon a pedestal, weare given boundaries beyond which we cannot go, so that we can question everything,certainly, but not the founding principle, not Darwinism itself, that is inviolable, and certainlyno professional ever contravenes such taboos in any meaningful way. As individuals we are powerless to resist this process of control, we have no means of questioning its authority, andno access to alternative viewpoints, ordinarily, but this work is the product of an ‘alien’within, a ‘loose cannon’, so that here you will discover that which you will find nowhere else.Two television programmes from the last couple of days, today being 07/02/2009,illustrate this process of subliminal control telling us what to think, and how to think, whileappearing to passively offer us information that is simply accurate. Last night there was a programme on BBC 2 called
Squirrel Wars
in which a journalist told the story of a Geordie pest exterminator who had made it his job to eradicate the alien grey squirrels, for the sake of a local population of native reds. But the conclusion of the programme indicated the futility
