A Report from Genghis Mountain

So in the end, in retrospect, hindsight is 20/20. Turns out Peace Corps was just part of the continuous grand experiment in social engineering.

(I never got around to reading the complete report until recently.)

A potential substitute for the war-model of social control. A step in the direction of the sophisticated form of slavery as described by Aldous Huxley et al. One problem with the Peace Corps model is theoretically when peace and development were achieved, there would be little incentive for such a model and a new tool of social control would be required. You have to give people a false sense of fear to keep them in their place. You have to give them artificial reasons for motivation (i.e. vague notions of "democracy", "national security", etc.).

You see, in 1909 folks at the Carnegie Endowment for "Peace" discussed the best method of controlling people. War, was and at present still is, the ultimate form of control. They then discussed how to start a (world) war. This was discovered by congressional investigator Norman Dodd of the Reece Committee. The woman who he sent into the Carnegie library archives to gather such information literally went mad because, indeed, these things are quite unbelievable. Some people just cannot handle the truth.

In this regard, war is peace. In order to have a peaceful world order, a new world order, destructive world wars need to be fomented and a totalitarian "peaceful" social control system put in place. Is this the best we can do?

Efforts to suppress the report allude to its credibility. On the contrary, we played the part of fools, we were the hoax. See how highly they think of us:

"Most proposals that address themselves, explicitly or otherwise, to the postwar problem of controlling the socially alienated turn to some variant of the Peace Corps or the so-called Job Corps for a solution. The socially disaffected, the economically unprepared, the psychologically unconformable, the hard-core "delinquents," the incorrigible "subversives," and the rest of the unemployable are seen as somehow transformed by the disciplines of a service modeled on military precedent into more or less dedicated social service workers."

It is all "documented" in the Report from Iron Mountain (1967). Some say it is a hoax. I do not think so. Even if it is, many experts and government specialists wholly agree on its findings making the matter irrelevant. The essence of the writing has come and is coming to pass. They continue to push the idea of civilian national forces (Obama).

Watch out. Further artificial substitutes for social control were listed as the environment as a threat (to be artificially destroyed in order to promote their agenda), extraterrestrials and "fictitious alternate enemies." Can you say "global warming" er, "climate change?" How about the militarization of outer space? And those good 'ol "terrorists?" Peace Corps would be the economic substitute for war; a giant "social-welfare program." They actually wrote that it would serve as the model of a "sociological control function (sophisticated form of slavery)."

What does this have to do with you? What if you fall into the category of those deemed the "socially destructive segments of societies" necessitating control (read in some instances as eradication)?

P.S. That is not to say, however, I did not have the time of my life out there while doing something useful. Like any "subversive-nonconforming-delinquent" knows how to do, I had a gay old time while lending a helping hand.

Ok dude, i don't know what you are getting your information from about this, but I can tell you that you might be little off here. I went to UC, Berkeley, and I know I can be very liberal sometimes, but I don't judge things off mark. However, you are getting off track here. I know it's not the perfect place to live there, but you are not Marco Polo. I appreciate that you had the time to visit there. To be honest, you could have been in Latin America and sipping Coca juice on beach instead. Anyways, your job was to be someone to fix the problems, not to come up with excuses. I know it was overwhelming. But would you believe I went to Italy to volunteer and I was absolutely dissatisfied with the job that I did? I hated there. Everything was Wrong! I paid $600 just to be a slave there working my ass off, shivering at night and starving, and plus all the traveling cost of about $1000. I wanted to escape but I couldn't because it was middle of no where, no transportation! So my friend, I think that people in Mongolia were at least friendly. The Mongolian government could be very very very messed up, but the people haven't given up their integrity. I just wanted to write this to give you a perspective.

I admit, perhaps I have been too ambigous, but perhaps you haven't read my earlier posts. I have no desire to be anyone but myself, certainly not Polo (though he was born in my homeland). I am not making excuses, I left for personal reasons and face up to it, no regrets, no excuses.

I have nothing but fantastic things to say about Mongolian people and Mongolia. I actually enjoyed the freedom there was there and the "everything was wrong" environment, it was charming, it was reality, it made you feel alive. I've gained many Mongolian friends and joined their communities in all subsequent countries I've lived. The people are amazing, friendly and hold to their culture which I respect in an age when globalization is trying to erase all culture. I cannot describe how fantastic the land is and yearn to return some day and live again in a ger.

I was only pointing out, according to documentation, what some of the (hidden) goals of a program such as Peace Corps were - this has nothing to do with Mongolia. Regardless of the intents of the creators of such a program, volunteers are able to still do many amazing things and I have been impressed with many of them.

However, I decided to take an alternate approach and attack problems at the root. We need both types of problem-solvers. As Jean Ziegler noted, (figures now different) Mongolia has an annual growing IMF slave-debt of say $2 billion and their GDP or so is $2 billion. They are perpetually kept down as is the growing case for most countries under the neo-liberal banker takeover. There is something much bigger going on and the root lies with the hidden agendas and hidden diplomacy, of which I had the opportunity to glimpse during my stay in Switzerland. People need to wake up. Thanks for reading and thanks for your story and perspective.

To the first Anonymous, much good info comes from inside whistleblowers. Google "IMF riots."

Dear nomad, what about this piece on Mongolia?

Interesting read, I thought it was non-fiction at first. Don't know much about the subject, but will have to investigate, thanks.

It makes me think of the time when God had the Israelites rule themselves until they desired a king (state). The original plan was freedom, its just the masses cannot handle it, too much work.
