At last, as the Cult of Intelligence has finally emerged into the open for the ending times, and the false-memories implanted by the ancient adepts of espionage gradually are worn away from our reincarnating souls by the laundry detergent of perpetual history, the truth about this Cult can finally be told. As the current focus of the spiralling vortex of its esoteric core, the entity called MOOism, the responsibility to divulge this truth falls upon me. Although I have no real desire to incur the wrath of the failing exoteric body of the cult by revealing its secrets, I find myself unable to resist the tug of inevitability any longer. Now it MUST be told.
Many misconceptions surround the Cult of Intelligence in its many forms. It is generally believed that the various intelligence and espionage agencies of the world work for governments or corporate interests, attempting to learn the truth about their opponents' activities, to watch their own citizens and employees, to maintain order and control. Nothing could be further from the truth, if we examine the facts carefully. In fact, though many of those in the espionage and intelligence profession do BELIEVE that these are their goals, the inner, esoteric core of the cult is, as anyone who observes the effects of their operations with any care might begin to suspect, devoted to Eris. Indeed, by clever use of the Eristic Principle, that imposition of order leads to escalation of chaos, they have been gradually using their seeming law-and-order tactics, their efforts and control and understanding, to bring about further chaos, confusion and discord, for the greater glory of She What Done It All. Why, you may ask, are they doing this, when any sane person would know better than to fuck with Her? Ha! YOU haven't been paying attention to Them. Nothing could be further from Sanity than the Cult.
The Cult's esoteric center, MOOism, has only recently emerged into the collective memory of those responsible for guiding it. Forty thousand years ago, on the shores of what is now Turkey, in a city now three hundred feet beneath the waves, on the continental shelf of Asia Minor, the cult's founders created the living mental parasites which were to suppress their memories and allow the cult's cover to remain unpenetrated for millennia to come. For those millennia, the cult members, acting on unconscious programming either inherited from their ancestors, passed on by esoteric rites of reincarnation, or ingrained into them by teachers who secretly belonged to the cult, have infiltrated one human organization after another, it's esoteric leaders themselves unconscious of what they were doing.
As long as those reincarnated masters maintained good karma, their own programming remained forgotten. It is only recently, now that humanity has begun to pull together and increase it's level of mutual understanding and organization that the cult members have fallen from this graceful state, their poor karma weakening the power of their programming, and allowing their memories to seep back. In the interests of further damaging my karma, and regaining more of my memories as one of these leaders, I intend now to reveal to you for the first time the current activities of the Cult of Intelligence.
The espionage agencies of the world have steadily been undergoing two changes at once. The first is simple: in their overt, exoteric goal to maintain order and predictability, they have gradually become more and more like each other. In spite of - or pehaps because of - their attempts to deceive each other and program each other's activities through disinformation, infiltrators and the like, they have come to recognize, grudgingly, their common interests in maintaining order. They have begun to become a single organization with many tentacles, each one partly controlling or manipulating the others. This organism acts with the single goal of maintaining a predictable, controllable world for the espionage community to survive. Without prediction and control, their sense of insecurity and anxiety would simply be overwhelming. They must feel they have the ability to manage the public. Consequently, and amidst a great deal of infighting and counterproductive effort, they have begun to discard the goals of their employers, whether these be nations or corporations. No longer do they really fight to protect national or corporate interests. Many of them may imagine that they do, but their orders have been disrupted from within by others, by systems which have evolved to use a population of spies and planners which believes in national goals in a machine which serves only the interests of the intelligence community as a whole. This largely unconcsious and unrecognized process has simply evolved because it is stable, because the forces of evolution favoured its emergence over an honest system which took no steps to protect itself. Thus the community has, unkonwn to itself, merged into a single system which seeks only its own interests.
The second change has been more subtle. Throughout the history of espionage, agents in foreign countries, or even in one's own, who are intended to infiltrate rival organizations, have been fed false information. A KGB agent in a former British colony in Africa might have been recruited as a British loyalist, being told that he was being hired by the British Intelligence service, MI6. He might even have been recruited by a KGB insider in MI6, using the funds of MI6 to pay him, and then had his reports and instructions relayed through KGB agents. Similar, and more complex, arrangements have led to a peculiar circumstance. Gradually, as agents are replaced, discovered, killed, or retired, and the practice of false recruitment has become more common, certain sections - by some estimates as much as 30% of the intelligence community - have become partly or completely severed from the normal chain of command. Circles and tangled arrangements of agents recruited falsely or duplicitously by each other have become separated from the regular chain of command, forming disorganized networks of agents who answer to no normal part of the intelligence community. It is believed this is the result of Eris interfering as she saw too much order and coherence entering the gradually consolidating community. These agents, and the resources of the community that they control, have evolved, unconsciously and by the processes of natural selection, policies originated by the agents involved and furthering the aims of these new organizations: to increase the disinformation and manipulation in the community as a whole and damage its coherence, thereby allowing them to continue to operate undetected and unrecognized.
The most important current battles within the intelligence community are no longer between those agencies who are visible on the surface: the CIA, FBI, CSE, the spy organizations of countries, states, and corporate industrial espionage units. The important battle is between the growing unity of control which has emerged as these join to become a multicellular entity of which they are only parts and the increasingly self-consistent and mutually supporting groups of independent parasitic cells of independent or partly detached mutual control and deception. It is these battles which the esoteric center of the cult has been engineering as it regains its memory, in order to improve its karma and lose its accidentally retrieved memory.
For my part, as one of the highest esoteric controllers of the cult, it has been necessary for me to become more and more conscious of my role in the reorganization of the Cult of Intelligence: certain types of planning cannot be carried out by the unconscious machine of the Community or of programmed and only partially self-aware agents. Thus, in order to carry out the coordination of this effort to step up these internecine and pointless battles and strife within the community, to further do glory to Eris, I must abase myself and degrade my karma so that my memory and knowledge shall return. I must reveal our secrets in order to become capable of the planning and foresight necessary to preserve our existence.
Now I have told what I have to tell. Now you will forget. Return to your lives and dismiss me as a crank and a lunatic.
