Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars
In 1986 a previously secret document came to light that was supposed to remain hidden. This document was purported to be one part of a series of presentations which took place in 1979 memorializing the 25th anniversary of the beginning of World War III. It was acquired innocently enough. At least according to a story which may be more apocryphal than true. But the truth is very complex and convoluted indeed.
My academic background is in history and philosophy, but I have been a connoisseur of conspiracy theories for more than thirty years. I enjoy reading them, categorizing them, and classifying them. Certainly I do not believe many of them, yet some are more true than others. The broader public has a very interesting relationship with conspiracy theories which often breaks down into bipolarities: out of hand dismissal without any investigation or gullible whole cloth belief. It becomes a bit more complicated when observed through a political lens wherein the left and right have their own pet conspiracy theories that they commonly accept without much question if any at all.
Documents of Planned Destruction
Recently, I have been working on a series of videos/podcasts for my YouTube channel investigating a wide variety of plans to bring about a whole host of calamities. These have ranged from the more prosaic and mundane to the far out and bizarre. I began by looking at the ten planks of the Communist Manifesto because so many on the right have long proclaimed that anywhere from 7 to all 10 planks were already in place. Since I am a libertarian (and anti-communist), these claims concerned me greatly.
The ‘Communist Manifesto’ was assigned to me and my classmates several times throughout my university career as an undergraduate and graduate student. According some reports, Marx’s infamous Manifesto is the most commonly assigned text at Western universities. It is, perhaps not surprisingly, far more assigned than actually read. I had not cracked it open in about 15 years when I put together the episode on that text. It was a bit of a relief that I found only 2 or 3 of the communist planks to be (albeit partially) in place in the United States.
Although the left largely dominates the K-12 public education system, almost entirely dominates academia at the university level (especially in the humanities and social sciences), Hollywood, and the media, they have not yet made as much progress towards full on communism as some conservatives would have us believe. The next claim I decided to investigate was regarding something called ‘The 45 Declared Goals of Communism for America’, which was read into the Congressional Record in 1963. The source of this particular list of goals is somewhat, shall we say, odd.
The primary source appears to be Cleon Skousen’s book ‘The Naked Communist’ first published in 1958. However, and here it gets strange, the list of 45 declared goals are nowhere to be found in the 1958 1st edition of this text. Many people, and conspiracy websites, will cite that original source but those are incorrect. The first version in which I was able to locate these goals was a 1961 edition. But this is just one of those bizarre claims that has a tendency to get repeated so frequently and for so long that it takes on an air of truth. Finally, when I examined the list of 45 goals, some were outdated nonsense and others have indeed come to pass. Perhaps one could credit this list as more right than not but there are still many questions remaining regarding the original provenance of the list itself.
McCarthyism?
I decided to next have a look at a man long-maligned by the political left as a kooky, wild-eyed conspiracy theorist: Senator Joseph McCarthy. Kooky and very dangerous is what I was told all throughout school. From middle school, to high school, to university. In one entire course I took at university focusing on the Salem Witch Trials, the professor repeatedly insisted there were clear and undeniable parallels between McCarthy and those who accused the victims of the Witch Trials in terms of personality traits and the fact that many innocent lives were ruined.
History, however, has had a funny way of proving these claims both partially correct in some respects and woefully wrong in others. The first problem is that this line of comparing McCarthyism to the Salem Witch Trials was drawn directly from political leftist Arthur Miller’s play ‘The Crucible’. That was fanciful fiction. The second, and much bigger problem, is known as Venona.
The Venona Project
The U.S. Army Signal Intelligence ran a program from 1943 to 1980 in which they were able to intercept critical communications between the Soviet hierarchy and their spies and other contacts in the United States and abroad. A stunning array of data proving massive Soviet espionage efforts was uncovered by Venona. This was brought to light by historian Harvey Klehr in book by the same name. What Klehr, and other historians, were able to prove with the Venona files is that McCarthy’s charges were largely correct. Sometimes the late Senator was wrong on specific details and certainly misidentified some people as communists who were not communists and were merely unwitting dupes or not at all involved but the more important overall point is that McCarthy’s name has been mud in the media and academia for far too long.
Score one more for the conspiracy theorists. The Soviet communist threat was powerful, highly-invasive, and (most importantly) real. In fact, it is impossible to imagine a more dangerous conspiratorial spy stunt than attaining information which eventuated in the development of atomic weapons for the USSR. Sadly, not one bit of this information was ever mentioned in my university course which was largely dedicated to continuing the anti-McCarthy smear campaign and this was in the early 2000’s when this data was well-known among experts in the field. But I had to find out on my own many years later. Some of you are probably finding out for the first time even now.
Curiosity Piqued
Following this sequence of partial confirmations, I decided to expand my search into some rather foggy and half-remembered conspiracy yarns I had read many years ago. I thought it could be both entertaining and informative to review some similar material and to attempt to situate certain conspiracy theory documents historically. Moreover, the best way to do so would be to each document closely and separately but also each one in light of the other.
The choices could have ran the gamut from remote-viewing, psychic phenomena, anti-vaccination theories, the moon landing, the claims that HIV/AIDS was manufactured in a laboratory, to the assassination of JFK, 9/11, and too many others to list. Instead of those, I honed in on a few particular documents that have made the rounds for many years with a host of dubious and contradictory claims about each of them. And, moreover, since trilogies seem to be a common pattern of presentation, I selected three of the more salacious and unverified texts: ‘Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars’, ‘The Report from Iron Mountain’, and the so-called ‘NASA War Document’.
To begin my investigation of ‘Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars’ (SWFQW), I watched at least 15 YouTube videos regarding the document. Literally every single one simply took the document to be real and to be a statement from the global elite regarding their nefarious plans for America and, indeed, the world. Tracking back from this supposed 25th anniversary event commemorating the inception of World War III, places one in 1954 and at the Hotel de Bilderberg (in Oosterbeek, Netherlands). This was the first meeting of the Bilderberg Group.
The Bilderberg Group plays a central role in all modern conspiracy circles. For decades the mainstream media (MSM) and historians outright denied the existence of any such group. Later, these annual meetings of some of the wealthiest and politically most powerful people in the world, became so overwhelmingly documented by alternative media that the cover-up was dropped. Now the Bilderberg Group meetings are covered every year even by the MSM. Although the coverage is superficial, silly, and tries to make light of the meetings, score one for the conspiracy theorists: they were right all along.
This pattern is duplicated when one looks to other secret societies as well. Conspiracy theorists first identified the Bohemian Grove (an annual meeting of wealthy elites who gather together in a grove in California cavorting about in very bizarre fashion and meeting about all kinds of issues from the economic to the political), Yale’s now infamous Skull and Bones (comprised of economic and political elites across the spectrum including the Democratic and Republican Presidential candidates George W. Bush and John Kerry, both of whom deflected and made light of their membership), and the Rosicrucians to name only a few the dozens uncovered over the years.
The mainstream left and right both at first denied the existence of many of these groups. The left through MSM would smear attack anyone writing or speaking about such groups by laughing and saying they need a tin foil hat. The right, exemplified by Rush Limbaugh, all throughout the 1990s would call it a “kook detector” whenever anyone would mention such groups on his radio show. Today, Rush and Newt Gingrich acknowledge the existence of these groups. On the political left, prior to his death, Zbigniew Brzezinski bragged about his involvement in such groups (for example, the not-so-secret but possibly conspiratorial Council on Foreign Relations) and that he had pushed for the formation of the Trilateral Commission.
Getting back to ‘Silent Weapons’ and despite this context of conspiracy theorists being right (in general) about some things, I noticed a disturbing trend of a lack of critical regard for the contents of the documents, the origins of the document, and (most importantly) the question as to how this document could have a binding power over our would-be controllers. It was with all of this in mind that I dove into the document to analyze it based solely upon context clues within the document itself. Similarly, I applied the same process to ‘The Report from Iron Mountain’ and the ‘NASA War Document’.
A Fractal Mystery
Now when I say I analyzed the document, what I mean to say is that I sorted through three documents. Yes, there are (at least) three different versions of ‘Silent Weapons’. One, which is perhaps the original, contains text, diagrams, equations, and the like but no preface or forward, etc. Another, which first attained broad circulation in Bill Cooper’s underground bestseller “Behold A Pale Horse” published in 1991. The Cooper version is stripped of the diagrams and equations. Finally, a third version has a preface and forward which claim the document is an Operations Research Technical Manual (ORTM).
My first question thus was, why would a Bilderberg Group meeting have any interest in a rather arcane ORTM filled with diagrams and equations? It is just strange. Doesn’t it seem likely that one should picture international elites with no familiarity with these flipping through and perhaps just tossing the paper down on a table unread?
The next thing that leaps out is that the language of the document is not even remotely typical of the kind of writing that appears in government documents, white papers, memoranda, or policy position statements. Here is just a sample every bit of which should leap out to any reader as dubious to say the least:
“It is patently impossible to discuss social engineering or the automation of a society, i.e., the engineering of social automation systems (silent weapons) on a national or worldwide scale without implying extensive objectives of social control and destruction of human life, i.e., slavery and genocide.
This manual is in itself an analog declaration of intent. Such a writing must be secured from public scrutiny. Otherwise, it might be recognized as a technically formal declaration of domestic war. Furthermore, whenever any person or group of persons in a position of great power and without full knowledge and consent of the public, uses such knowledge and methodologies for economic conquest — it must be understood that a state of domestic warfare exists between said person or group of persons and the public.
The solution of today’s problems requires an approach which is ruthlessly candid, with no agonizing over religious, moral or cultural values.
You have qualified for this project because of your ability to look at human society with cold objectivity, and yet analyze and discuss your observations and conclusions with others of similar intellectual capacity without the loss of discretion or humility. Such virtues are exercised in your own best interest. Do not deviate from them.”
Bizarre. In another section we find this:
“All science is merely a means to an end. The means is knowledge. The end is control. Beyond this remains only one issue: Who will be the beneficiary?
In 1954 this was the issue of primary concern. Although the so-called “moral issues” were raised, in view of the law of natural selection [1] it was agreed that a nation or world of people who will not use their intelligence are no better than animals who do not have intelligence. Such people are beasts of burden and steaks on the table by choice and consent.”
Who writes like this? To my mind, it smacks of some of the typical writing and phraseology one finds in conspiracy theory books. It is almost a sort of wish-fulfillment document. The sort that a die-hard conspiracy theorist would dream of finding. Convinced the elite hold the people in contempt and want many of us dead…wouldn’t it be just perfect to find a “secret” document wherein they call us cattle and say that we are so ignorant that we deserve to be controlled, manipulated, and even murdered in mass? Perfect. Too perfect. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
In the video I made, I replicate similar phrases dozens of times which stretches the limits of credulity. However, in the interest of a deep dive, we should take a look at the program involved. What were the goals and objectives of ‘Silent Weapons’?
BioWar
‘Silent Weapons’ proposes a very broad array of attack on the populace. Everything from monetary manipulation of currency to psychological manipulation, to orchestrating labor strikes, to chemically polluting water supplies and a series of outright biological warfare attacks are proposed. Furthermore, the document(s) advise a multivariate program of mass surveillance: phone taps, energy consumption levels of individual homes, observation of child behavior in schools, and even scrounging through garbage tossed out of our homes.
It refers to government social welfare programs explicitly as “ploys” used merely to manipulate and gather data on people. From there, ‘Silent Weapons’ pivots to the so-called “primary strategy” which is “Diversion”. The goal is to keep the public distracted with inconsequentialities and to keep us dumbed down. This is in order to keep the public from realizing what the elite are really up to in their efforts to control us and, ultimately, take us out. Here is a sample of that section:
“Experience has prevent that the simplest method of securing a silent weapon and gaining control of the public is to keep the public undisciplined and ignorant of the basic system principles on the one hand, while keeping them confused, disorganized, and distracted with matters of no real importance on the other hand.
This is achieved by:
* disengaging their minds; sabotaging their mental activities; providing a low-quality program of public education in mathematics, logic, systems design and economics; and discouraging technical creativity.
* engaging their emotions, increasing their self-indulgence and their indulgence in emotional and physical activities, by: ο unrelenting emotional affrontations and attacks (mental and emotional rape) by way of constant barrage of sex, violence, and wars in the media — especially the T.V. and the newspapers. ο giving them what they desire — in excess — “junk food for thought” — and depriving them of what they really need.
* rewriting history and law and subjecting the public to the deviant creation, thus being able to shift their thinking from personal needs to highly fabricated outside priorities.
These preclude their interest in and discovery of the silent weapons of social automation technology.”
The astute reader will notice odd misspellings and word choice. Not only that but the phraseology is very much what one would expect were a convinced conspiracy theorist to concoct a document producing exactly what many would like to find.
Finally, for me this is the coup de grace, as the document wraps up:
“Factor II — Father The man of the household must be housebroken to ensure that junior will grow up with the right social training and attitudes. The advertising media, etc., are engaged to see to it that father-to-be is pu##y-whipped before or by the time he is married. He is taught that he either conforms to the social notch cut out for him or his sex life will be hobbled and his tender companionship will be zero.”
And again:
“ Caution: A woman’s impulsive anger can override her fear. An irate woman’s power must never be underestimated, and her power over a pu##y-whipped husband must likewise never be underestimated. It got women the vote in 1920.”
For reasons that should be obvious, I had to edit those portions. Once more, I feel pressed to point out what I think should be common sense. Documents, even among a global elite with nefarious plans, ought not use such debased language. The global elite, if nothing else, are in to preening and posturing themselves as our betters in every way imaginable.
Conclusion
Now to make a rather convoluted tale more complex.
Although my determination in regard ‘Silent Weapons’ is in the negative. In fact, my strong suspicion is that it is a forgery. However, I will maintain an open mind to be convinced otherwise if further supporting evidence could be provided. That being said, this is based primarily upon internal textual clues. Once I expanded the research to additional documents external to this single document, I began to take note of number of peculiar things.
In fact, when one brings together ‘The Report from Iron Mountain’ (released in 1967) and the ‘NASA War Document’ (presented in July of 2001), a surprising number of unifying themes emerge. I will withhold my determination on those two documents until the videos on them are ready, but I must add that there are several other indisputably real documents which suggest similar dark and foreboding themes: eugenics (Tanton Memo, 1975), population control (Jaffe Memo, 1969), atmospheric and weather manipulation (Air Force 2025, 1996), and calls for a radical reduction of the global population (The Population Bomb, 1968) among many others.
