Linda Minor Wrote:Or something even more nefarious: "It is hardly credible that the baddies would reveal their fell purposes so blatantly", commented Foucault's Pendulum author Umberto Eco on the current recycling of the Protocols within popular culture and the disturbing rise of "crude forms of racism of the neo-Celtic kind" -- and yet the use of the Protocols was the primary justification for the Holocaust and the attempted annihilation of the Jews, who are regarded as the historical "perfidious Enemy" of both Jesuit and Rosicrucian elites....
Linda, It is of interest here that Gerard Encausse (aka "Papus" - Latin for "a pimple") who some consider to be the true author of the Protocols - it being a Martinist manifesto under this view - was avowedly anti-Semitic. This would, I feel sure, fit in with the Jesuit connection Eco notes above.
The neo-Celtic racist recycling theme is something I've come across many times during research. One of the more outstanding examples is the Celtic word "Cuchulainn" (meaning tribe of the White Dog I am told) is said to be the origin of the Ku Klux Klan.
Charlie, I was aware of Eco's The Bond Affair but haven't read it. His two named novels above I have and both are littered with interesting curiosities of which much can be found on the internet.
Btw, I thought it interesting that at one point in time (see my post above) Stanley Kubric wished to make a movie of Foucault's Pendulum, but Eco was against it.
Kubric appears to have made Eyes Wide Shut instead.
Synchronicity is scary...
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
