    I. The Parasitic Ledger: Seduction and Chaos

    The Western system of governance was bankrupt on the day it was born. It is a captive of the machine. The machine is not loyal to any ruler, no matter how well he serves it. It uses both subject and king for its own purposes and it is not bothered by the chaos that it creates. Why does the system continue? Because everyone is playing the game. No one sits back to analyze it; they are seduced by what the machine promises.

    The Metaphysical Battle

    The influence of Rome, both the Empire and its ghost, has been metaphysical at its core from the beginning, and it wages an existential battle. However, the existential nature of the Empire’s battle with the kinship baseline is one-sided. This is only a life-or-death fight for one party, and that is the machine itself.

    The spirit it tries to defeat is that unkillable spirit which is the human inheritance. It resides in the earth and her human populations and was affirmed by the spirit of the Rosh in the incarnation of Jesus Christ.

    Therefore, rather than beginning this article with the horrors and injustices levied on conquered people, we will begin by explaining the pattern and nature of the machine’s tactics. In this way, we hope to identify its motivation.

    This is an exploration of the occult influence at the heart of our society. It will explain many of the horrors of the modern world, including the metaphysical nature of the Roman destruction at Anglesey and the British destruction of the forests in the Scottish Highlands.

    The Machine’s Pattern Mirrors a Biblical Warning

    The biblical story revealing the machine’s tactics is symbolic rather than historical, but the pattern is real. It’s the story of the Tower of Babel in Genesis 11: 1-9.

    We are told that the whole world once had the same language and the same words. And it seems this ‘whole world’ was migrating from the east together when they came to the land of Shinar and settled there. What did they do in this new home of theirs? Did they appreciate their good fortune and settle down with their kin? No, instead of living their lives in gratitude for their good fortune, the people conceived of a plan to “build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the sky, and so make a name for ourselves; otherwise we shall be scattered all over the earth.”

    When the Lord came down to see the city and the tower that the people had built, his response was to confuse their language and scatter them all over the earth.

    According to E.A. Speiser, the location of this tower was not literally Babylon as many people think. In fact, monumental architecture was not its inspiration at all. It followed literary tradition. Speiser traces it instead to the account of the building of Babylon and its temple in the Enūma eliš, VI, lines 60-62 (ANET, p, 69). The original story was metaphysical.

    The Enūma eliš goes into great detail about Babylonian life. However, Speiser tells us that recording the Babylonian building process accurately was not the focus of the author in Genesis. That author gave the story a literal interpretation because he wanted to criticize man’s folly and presumption. Of course, the Bible story also explains the existence of numerous languages throughout the world, but the point is that their languages were confused so they couldn’t understand one another and they were scattered throughout the world. It was a clear message that their unity and single-minded purpose was not acceptable to the Lord.

    II. The Mobile Tower: How Rome Perfected the Grid

    The Mirror Pattern of Rome

    Rome did not build a tower reaching into the sky. It imposed a tower of standardization that spread all over the world like a mobile Tower of Babel. And its first victims were the unique tribal and kinship communities of the world. After the Roman Empire collapsed, it did not disappear. It’s records and methods remained in the Church’s vaults.

    III. The Inversion of Authority: The Church Overwrite

    Before the Church began investing kings, the kings had derived their authority either through tribal consensus or by right of a warrior lineage. When the Church began anointing kings and declaring their legitimacy, the sword of warrior kings was no longer enough to secure their position. They needed the Church’s approval. The Church was above kings in the management hierarchy, and below the kings were ambitious lords and barons who were either oppressing the people or trying to kill the king.

    IV. The Stuart Blindness: The High-Altitude Illusion

    The Stuart line of kings suffered many early deaths and assassinations over the centuries. Prince Charles Edward Stuart’s disaster at Culloden meant the end of this long line of kings. If the Stuarts had the time to analyze what was going on, perhaps they would have left voluntarily. But they couldn’t possibly have known.

    As it was, if they had any loyalty to the clans’ baseline, it was secondary to the importance of their role as kings. That was the world they grew up in. In their exile they had been dependent on France and the Catholic Church, trapped inside a bankrupt, continental fantasy loop that completely detached them from the physical reality on the ground.

    In addition, the prince did not have the experience or training that could have prepared him for the machine-like quality of Cumberland’s artillery or the superior expertise of his own clan chiefs. His battle experience was limited to a well-managed European battle when he was a young man. Even so, it’s not as if the most deserving side won in 1746.

    The Old World may have been silly and pretentious and empty, but the English Whigs were hyper-rational and self-centered with no understanding or loyalties to anyone or anything but their own interests. The only true thing in Scotland in this era was clan loyalty and sacrifice, but the other parties in the conflict were beyond understanding this. That remains true today.

    No one looks to the kinship baseline to solve their problems. Instead, they rush on to the next misguided action. As a result, the world makes less sense every day. But what do we expect? We are part of Rome’s mobile Tower of Babel. The Roman machine spread from Anglesey to England and Scotland, and then it traveled to the United States.

    And to be clear, no one on earth understands the machine–it is not human.
