And while the search for truth and the application of justice demand that guilty individual criminals be identified and punished, tragic history surely will repeat itself unless we identify the systems (and families, I would argue) that empower and draw power from corruption and at all costs eradicate them.
I don't wish to be the meat or spread between two slices of well-baked multi-grain bread, but the above paragraph, IMHO, and after having read extensively in the Trine-Day collection of publications [more specifically, "Sinister Forces", "Fleshing Out Skull & Bones" and the expose of the Jackson/Luce shenanigans in "A Certain Arrogance", as well as "The Perfectibilists" and related publications] seems to be broadly "on the money". [It might be useful to have permission to post key powerful parts of the sixth and seventh essays of ACA.] There are annotations of text in my copy of "The Perfectibilists" yet to be dictated which read like planning documents that remain active and functional today, centuries later. Similarly with "Fleshing", whose well-articulated explanation of what it means "to be there at the beginning" explains CD's paragraph perfectly.
At the very least, Kris Millegan should be invited to participate here, or in podcasts or perhaps even a video conference. But I fear the creation of yet another round table full of people shouting at each other a la McLaughlin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSqsBfBCW7k ...
Pulling apart the hidden treasures of history long purposefully buried and whose location is secretively and protectively guarded by powerful and rabid dogs requires a high degree of personal awareness, stability and groundedness.
