Cosmic Scale Evil: Money Fetishism and the Looming Omnicide

Harry Saloor


Only after the last tree has been cut down
Only after the last river has been poisoned
Only after the last fish has been caught
Only then will you find that money cannot be eaten.
~ Cree prophecy

Two frequently asked questions I receive regularly are, first, whether humanoids are an intelligent species; second, are they good or evil?

If, having evolved for 1.5 million years, a species is unable planning to survive another 20 years, I normally retort, and the actual chances of their survival in large numbers is about as big as a fat zero even in 10 years, would you consider that species intelligent or stupid? Humanoids depend on planet Earth and its life support systems to survive, yet they have wreaked destruction on the planet driving her ecosystems to the verge of imminent collapse. Would you say they are good or evil?

The activities of humanoids, especially the elite, are not consistent with the way of life!

What is Evil? Most everyone used to have a mind image or an emotional intelligence of what evil was, or represented. They readily identified evil with the wrongs of the world. Today, however, most definitions create confusion portraying evil as what is 'anti-norm.' The 'new' definitions, which are concocted from the ever-shifting narratives created by the Hollywood clique and their slick counterparts in the media, have permeated the public psyche with ease. Truth, goodness and other basic decencies of civilization play no part in those definitions. Never before in the history of civilization has sight overcome right to such outrageous extents.

Not surprisingly, the new definitions utterly fail to depict evil. If anything, they serve to pervert the meaning, while giving rise to fallacies of ad hominem, name-calling and demonizing of the subject. When George W. Bush was busy planning the genocide of Iraqis (George W. Bush and Tony Blair together with their puppeteers, cohorts and mercenaries have murdered about 1million Iraqis since March 2003 in their war of aggression), he called Iraq, among other states, an 'axis of evil.'

Traditionally, within the monotheistic religions, evil represented what was 'wicked,' 'malevolent,' 'sinful,' 'iniquitous,' 'immoral,' or simply 'against God,' something to avoid, especially for fear of divine consequences.

Theologians' paradoxical definitions, however, gave rise to the 'problem of evil,' the dilemma of reconciling the existence of evil (and suffering) alongside an omnibenevolent (the state of being perfectly good), omnipotent, and omniscient God. The futile attempts by the theodecians (philosophers) to solve this dilemma through self–negating theodicies resulted in lowering the threshold of common values of morality.

Most readers have come a long way from viewing the “almighty” as an angry Herculean male figure with a bloodstained sword in one hand, ready to slay and smite more sinners, while clutching to lightening and fire with the other hand poised to strike down or rain brimstone on the unbelievers who might escape the first pass.

'Lord finally had it with Sodom, not to mention Gomorrah,' goes the legend. So why has he spared the White House, not to mention 10 Downing Street? Why no pillars of salt stand staring at the onlookers outside the Capitol Hill or the Houses of Parliament? Surely, it cannot be for lacking evil.

'Evil is as evil does,' utters the modern 'sage.' But, he stops short of proclaiming what exactly evil is or his doings are. Is it a person, gene, meme, ideology, creed, philosophy? Is evil a he, she, group, race? Why do evil? How do evildoers keep score? When does evil occur? What is worst evil? What is cosmic scale evil?

Cosmic scale evil is the killing of everything, omnicide, the wholesale obliteration of all living beings on our planet, through systematic destruction of Earth's ecosystems.

It has taken an incredible 4.5 billion years for our precious planet to evolve from a fiery ball to become the exclusive oasis of life, the solitary habitat for living within species in an otherwise cold, dark, inhospitable segment of the observable universe. Yet, in an infinitesimal fraction of that time the money fetishism of a cabal of moneychangers, who have corrupted all social, political and cultural systems manipulating the masses through deception and coercion, has sown the seeds of our destruction driving a living planet to certain ecological death.

The Babylonian cabal's web of intrigue has perverted all spiritual and political ideologies as well as social and cultural institutions that might pose the slightest threat to their agenda, while establishing fake organizations [they are designed as management tools to control the masses and insure against unforeseen circumstances] and self-serving systems of economy and politics that have promoted and protected their nefarious plot to control the world, albeit an ultimately lifeless world.

They created a myth with a carefully calculated narrative that promoted their plot as 'compassionate,' 'free world,' 'democratic,' among an array of weasel words, while circumventing social conscience and exerting their control in the name of human community, but at the expense of destroying life on Earth. They created a veil of repression which obfuscated benevolent, sustainable economic and social models that would benefit humanity at no cost to the environment. They drove the world at full throttle toward omnicide.

As a result, 15 out of 24 ecosystems that are vital for supporting life on our planet face imminent collapse including fresh water, fisheries, air and water purification systems, and the systems that regulate climate, natural hazards, and pests—with the remaining one-third of our life support systems following closely.

Meanwhile, the Babylonian creed has helped the shareholders of the top 10 banks in the world amass combined assets of about 16trillion dollars in 2006 [c.f., total GDP for 2006 calculated at the official exchange rate was an estimated 46.7trillion dollars.] How much of 16 trillion dollars in paper, gold, platinum, diamond... could you consume to satisfy your basic needs in the middle of The Sixth Great Extinction?

Comment from: dakennedy [Member]
Ideas can be extremely powerful in affecting the behaviour of humankind.

Ideas allegedly emanating from ‘God’ (and therefore incontrovertible) can be particularly powerful. One has just to look at the Middle-East today to see how true this is.

Jews believe that ‘God’ intended them to have the land of Palestine however preposterous this idea may be; Muslims believe that the land is sacred to their ‘God’ and must therefore be defended; while Christians believe that ‘God’ gave humankind dominion over all other forms of life – some believing that one man alone is able to interpret the Word of God and so is infallible, others believing that ‘God’ has a plan for earth that involves death and destruction in a way reminiscent of the Old Testament and in which only true believers will be saved.

Even those whose faith in ‘God’ is less well defined, often have an unshakeable belief in science and the human intellect. They seem to think that science will solve all problems – whatever ‘problems are’, outside of the human imagination. Life exists perfectly well without science. Science is simply another manifestation of the arrogance of the human brain.

And so humankind has frequently taken a Manichean view of a struggle between good and evil, good always being THEIR virtue and evil the WEAKNESS of others.

Humankind is poisoning the soil on which life depends, it is polluting the water necessary for life, it is damaging the atmosphere essential to its own existence, careless and regardless it is destroying many other forms of life. All creation is regarded as disposable since ‘God’ simply put it there for Man’s benefit. And so we see the daily atrocities that is factory farming. We see the slaughter of animals for casual amusement. We see the destruction of forests - that photosynthesising machine that stores the sun’s energy, removing carbon dioxide and giving animals (including humans – whether made in ‘God’s image or not) the oxygen that is essential to their life.

Many human societies have lived in harmony with, and respect for, their surroundings. Sadly, marauding Christians seeking to civilise and convert them to ‘the one true faith’ (whichever it happened to be) have wiped out most of these harmless peoples around the globe. Respect for nature and respect for life (ALL life) is inversely proportional to the love of money and gratification of self.

It seems that we are too late to change our destructive ways. Too many of us don't want to change, or think it is unnecessary to change.

Too much fossil fuel has been and continues at an ever-increasing rate to be burnt, returning its carbon back into the atmosphere. ‘Civilisation’ takes too much from the earth and returns too little. The equilibrium of life is an holistic one: remove one piece and the balance shifts, remove too many pieces and the balance is lost. Life falls to its destruction.

Human arrogance, which knows no bounds, human greed, which seems insatiable, have brought us to the present state. It is too late to turn back. The tipping point has been reached and passed. The powerful will continue to believe that they will survive. The religious will continue to believe that they will be saved.

Mother Nature wisely gave humans a 'brain' knowing that it would lead to their extinction if it ever got out of control. It seems we have now reached that point. We are too clever by half in thinking (as the Bible tells us) we can control nature. We are soon to learn how false this idea is.

We have come to realise this too late in the day to avoid disaster.
