    The ar* -ide

    Most people might hope for the emergence of a new form of organization to be led by "good guys" whodo "the right thing" and grow stronger because of it. But history does not support this contention. Thecutting edge in the early rise of a new form may be found equally among malcontents, ne'er-do-wells,

    and cleer opportunists eager to ta!e adantage of new ways to maneuer, eploit, and dominate. Manycenturies ago, for eample, the rise of hierarchical forms of organization, which displaced traditional,consultatie, tribal forms, was initially attended, in parts of the world, by the appearance of ferociouschieftains bent on military conquest and of iolent secret societies run according to ran! -- long beforethe hierarchical form matured through the institutionalization of states, empires, and professionaladministratie and bureaucratic systems. #n li!e manner, the early spread of the mar!et form, only afew centuries ago, was accompanied by a spawn of usurers, pirates, smugglers, and monopolists, allsee!ing to elude state controls oer their earnings and enterprises.

    $hy should this pattern not be repeated in an age of networ!s% There appears to be a subtle, dialecticalinterplay between the bright and dar! sides in the rise of a new form of organization. The bright-sideactors may be so deeply embedded in and constrained by a society's established forms of organization

    that many hae difficulty becoming the early innoators and adopters of a new form. #n contrast,nimble bad guys may hae a freer, easier time acting as the cutting edge%and reacting to them may bewhat eentually spurs the good guys to innoate.

    The spread of the networ! form and its technologies is clearly bringing some new ris!s and dangers. #tcan be used to generate threats to freedom and priacy. &ew methods for sureillance, monitoring, andtrac!ing are being deeloped and the uproars oer the intelligence systems "(chelon," ")emantic*orests," and "+arniore" manifest what will surely be enduring concerns. +ritical nationalinfrastructures for power, telecommunications, and transportation, as well as crucial commercialdatabases and information systems for finance and health, remain ulnerable to computer hac!ers and

    "Television !rought the !rutality of war into the comfort of the living room. 1ietnam was lost in theliving rooms of /merica -- not on the !attlefields of 1ietnam."

    3s # hae discussed elsewhere . . ., there is a great deal of fear of psychic abilities in many people,sometimes conscious, often unconscious. 9ne way this fear can manifest without the person haing torealize he is afraid, is through hostility toward psychic and spiritual sub;ects. )ince # frequently lecture

    Before # had studied 3i!ido, my reaction to an attac! in a lecture question was to counterattac!. #would epose logical flaws in my attac!er's thin!ing, and=or show he was ignorant of the facts, and=orshower him with high-status scientific facts to demonstrate to him the error of his ways. # wouldusually "win" the argument, for # was an epert in the sub;ect matter compared to almost all

    questioners, and a s!illed debater. This also made me popular with most of the audience, who weretypically "belieers" in psychic and spiritual matters, for # had won a ictory oer the !ind of personwho attac!ed them, too. # fought force with greater force.

    #n retrospect, # doubt that # actually communicated much of anything useful to my "opponent."

    >sraeli efense .orce and :ateral Thin*in

    The attac! conducted by units of the #sraeli 2efence *orces 6#2*7 on the city of &ablus in 3pril >??>was described by its commander, Brigadier-@eneral 3i Ao!hai, as 'inerse geometry', which heeplained as "the reorganization of the urban synta by means of a series of micro-tactical actions."

    urin the battle soldiers /oed ithin the city across hundreds of /etres of 1oerround

    tunnels1 cared out throuh a dense and contiuous urban structure4 3lthough seeral thousandsoldiers and 1alestinian guerrillas were manoeuring simultaneously in the city, they were so"saturated" into the urban fabric that ery few would hae been isible from the air. .urther/ore,they used none of the citys streets, roads, alleys or courtyards, or any of the e8ternal doors,

    internal stairells and indos, but /oed hori@ontally throuh alls and ertically throuh

    /ilitary o&erations in cities could be understood as so/ehat si/ilar to the international /atri8

    of elite architectural acade/ies4 oweer, according to urban theorist )imon Marin, the military-architectural "shadow world" is currently generating more intense and well-funded urban research programmes than all these uniersity programmes put together, and is certainly aware of the aant-garde urban research conducted in architectural institutions, especially as regards Third $orld and3frican cities. There is a considerable oerlap among the theoretical tets considered essential by

    military academies and architectural schools. #ndeed, the reading lists of contemporary militaryinstitutions include wor!s from around 45C 6ith a s&ecial e/&hasis on the ritins of Gilleseleu@e, .eli8 Guattari and Guy ebord7, as well as more contemporary writings on urbanism, psychology, cybernetics, post-colonial and post-)tructuralist theory. #f, as some writers claim, the spacefor criticality has withered away in late >?th-century capitalist culture, it seems now to hae found a place to flourish in the military.

    The ;T; and ;ccult ;&en -ource Warfare

    #n 454D, Theodore Eeuss showed up at a commune in )witzerland with a most interesting document 8 itwas the manifesto which would soon establish the 9rdo Templi 9rientis, or the ermetic Brotherhoodof /ight, or as it's !nown to young occultists, conspiracy theorists and weirdos of all persusasions, the9T9. The statement itself was a barn-burner8

    "/et it be !nown", began this manifesto, "that there eists, un!nown to the great crowd, aery ancient 9rder of sages, whose ob;ect is the amelioration and spiritual eolution ofman!ind by means of conquering error and aiding men and women in their efforts of

    attaining the power of recognizing the truth. This 9rder has eisted already in the mostremote times and it has manifested its actiity secretly and openly in the world underdifferent names and in arious forms8 it has caused social and political reolutions and proed to be the roc! of salation in times of danger and misfortune. #t has always upheldthe banner of freedom against tyranny in whateer shape this appeared, whether as clericalor political or social despotism or oppression of any !ind.

    To this "secret order" eery wise and spiritually enlightened person belongs by right of hisor her nature8 because they all, een if they are personally un!nown to each other, are onein their purpose and ob;ect and they all wor! under the guidance of the one light of truth.#nto this )acred )ociety no one can be admitted by another unless he has the power to enter

    it himself by irtue of his own interior #llumination neither can anyone after he has onceentered be epelled unless he should epel himself by becoming unfaithful to his principlesand forget again the truths which he has learned by his own eperience.

    3ll this is !nown to eery enlightened person.

    But it is !nown only to few that there eists also an eternal, isible organization of suchmen and women, who haing themseles found the path to real self-!nowledge, and whohaing traelled the burning sands, are willing to gie to others, desirous of entering that

     path, the benefit of their eperience, and to act as spiritual guides to those who are willingto be guided.

    The open-source reolution is a concept that predates the 9T9, of course. The actual claims ofTheodore Eeuss are almost !eside the point , because the concept is so effectiely infectious. ere at

    )!illuminati Eesearch, we find a number of words to be utterly useless -- "@od," for instance, or"coincidence" -- and we hae long since discarded "terrorism," a wet blan!et of a term, for "9pen)ource $arfare" or 9)$. 9ccult 9)$ was also adocated in the memorable 3ppendi :od of The lluminatus2 Trilogy, !nown as 1;&eration "indfuc*18

    To this day, neither 3o Chih 4en himself nor any other iscordian apostle #nows for sure whois or is not involved in any phase of 5peration indfuc# or what activities they are or are notengaged in as part of that pro6ect. Thus, the outsider is immediately trapped in a double-bind: the only safe assumption is that anything a iscordian does is somehow related to 5, !ut, since this leads directly to paranoia, this is not a "safe" assumption after all, and the "ris#y"hypothesis that whatever the iscordians are doing is harmless may !e "safer" in the long run, perhaps. 7very aspect of 5 follows, or accentuates, this dou!le-!ind.

This causes the aggressor to change its mind the warning then appears tohae been wrong. The second &ro&osition is that failure can be due to incorrect analysis of theagency's accurate information.... The third &ro&osition is that the agency could hae offered timelywarning had it not been stared of funds. #n combination, these three propositions can be used to thwartany rational analysis of an intelligence agency's performance, and allow any failure to be turned into a ;ustification for further funding and epansion."

    Boyd's concept was an obseration of how humans, wether allies or enemies, process reality8 the I step process of "9bsere, 9rient, 2ecide, and 3ct."

    "The #ey is to o!scure your intentions and ma#e them unpredicta!le to your opponent while you simultaneously clarify his intentions. That is, operate at a faster tempo to generate rapidly changingconditions that inhi!it your opponent from adapting or reacting to those changes and that suppress ordestroy his awareness. Thus, a hodgepodge of confusion and disorder occur to cause him to over- orunder-react to conditions or activities that appear to !e uncertain, am!iguous, or incomprehensi!le."--

    Boyd recognized, decades go, that the chain of command would eentually be used as a weapon againstthe military itself. )pecifically, it would be wrapped around the nec! of the top brass by small bands ofinsurgents who trael lighter, react faster, and refuse to abide by conentional warfare.

    The military gae humanity the Breity +ode, and thin!ing in military terms can be clarifying anduseful. *or instance, the 1entagon is engaged in ongoing "#nformation 9perations" -- spending billionseery year on what was formerly termed information warfare.

    #t's a small detail, but # bring it up because if online communication, information broadcasting and

     persuasion is being used as a weapon, where is that "common sense" metaphor actually ta!ing us% Thebattlefield is "hearts and minds" of ciilian "non-combatant" populations, as stated in Hoint 2octrine.The insurents are anyone counteracting military propaganda and gathering intelligence on theirinterests...you !now, most !loggers, pro!a!ly including you.

    #'m a big adocate of trial and error -- in fact, that's the only way to eplain most of my conscious life.But it's mostly error, and most of what intelligent humans deote themseles to is fluff.

    # don't thin! where #'m ta!ing )!illuminati Eesearch is irresponsible. # thin! this is signifigantinformation, unli!e my stoner fluff at ump Hones. $arfare is ;ust another s!illset that future mutantsneed to learn, and it's a logical application of time, much li!e martial arts. #'m actiely researching it, putting it into practice, and then codifying it for other people.

    Bac! when )!illuminati was running on the regular, way bac! in '?D, # featured an old Aein Aellyessay title "#nformation as a +ommunicable 2isease." e was meditating on how eperiments trac!ingthe spread of ideas, when graphed, bear a startling resemblance to maps of how diseases spread. 3s #'eimplied in the title, dangerous information is an irreveri!ile pro!lem, from nuclear weapons toimproised eplosie deices to pdf maps of electrical grids.

    "#nformation," much li!e the "electricity" it's based on, is eerywhere at once, interacts with eeryoneand eerything, and yet it's impossible to precisely define. $hen information gets crystalized, though,

    it's undeniably dangerous stuff -- li!e the hotel room full of Eicin in /as Kegas, for instance.

    )ure, there's a lot of written material about counter-insurgency operations, some of it truly brilliant. oweer, on a reality-based leel, I@$ outfits are still doing billions in damage to better-armed, better-funded nations and corporations. #n the face of this continuous loss, something remar!able hashappened8 the generals and the technocrats are sounding li#e damn hippies and calling for smaller,sustainable communities, energy independence and other radical cultural changes.

    The important point to remem!er is never underestimate the motivation, patience, andcreativity of an adversary2 3e is attac#ing against a defense that is naIve, arrogant,un!alanced, and fragmented.
