The best thing that the government could do to stimulate the economy
would be to offer all who seek unemployment benefits or welfare a
training apprenticeship. That type of program would give the
applicant the tuition (as required) and the on the job instructions so
that they can begin to learn the skills they need to succeed with the
company that hires them. Any coproration that hires them would be able
to train workers to their own needs, as required. It might also be
useful if the same companies were denied the ability to hire outside
the country if they cannot show that they have tried to train the
locals. As this recession wears on, we are in even greater danger of
losing craft skills as the baby boomer generation ages and retires.
Now is that rocket science? I do believe that even a Bush might be
sufficiently intelligent to understand that concept.

Lecture by Aldous Huxley: The Ultimate Revolution (1962)

Lecture by Aldous Huxley: The Ultimate Revolution (1962)

In a 1962 interview Huxley discussed the increasing realization of the
dystopia he described in BRAVE NEW WORLD. (BNW was written in 1932).
He speaks specifically about mind control, using that term quite
uninhibitedly, and refers to conferences that were held on the subject
of mind control, specifically that aimed at manufacturing willingness
to accept servitude by making it seem pleasant.

Aldous Huxley - The Ultimate Revolution (1962) pt.3/9

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wX2wQUnYAG0

Listen very carefully to what Huxley says about children just a bit
after 3:40 into this segment.

Anyone who seriously entertains any doubts that the governments of the
Western world were testing us not only for IQ, but also for character
traits and deciding what to do with us (if we were suggestible) and do
about us (if we weren't) from very early childhood, you are sadly,
sadly mistaken.

Remember: in 1953, IQ testing was mandated for all children in the
school system, public and private.

Of course, the discussion begs the questions: Can those who are less
suggestible be made to be more like the more suggestible? If so, how?
If so, would HIQ interfere with this process? If so, can its effects
be neutralized? If so, how?

He begins to answer these questions when he bring up what he calls
"the pharmacological method".

The Nazis, of course, were the first to fluoridate potable water. They
found that fluoride made inmates in concentration camps more docile.
In higher dosages, it also makes them sterile. Conservative estimates
have it that fluoridated water lowers IQ by 5 points. Others say it
lowers IQ by as much as 20 points.

Huxley finds it difficult to conceal his respect for Hitler's
"infernal genius". Indeed, in a strange slip of the tongue, he speaks
of Hitler in the present tense in this segment. Was it because Hitler
is still very much influential in his mind? Or, did he know something
that those who are not scions of "elite" families and highly-
positioned members of Eugenics societies didn't know?

I have been discussing the world-wide phenomenon of reduced fertility
on my profile. In Israel, one in six couples have trouble conceiving.
Six times more people turn for fertility treatments in Israel than in
most developed nations.

The country second to Israel, with about half of our fertility
problems, or about three times more that of most developed countries,
is politically pesky Iceland.

Aldous Huxley - The Ultimate Revolution (1962) pt.4/9

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnCAc6coHxE

After out-of character blathering about the harmlessness of
synthesized drugs (however, omitting to mention BZ interestingly);
Huxley touches on the subject of brain implants in this section,
saying that it was being carried out quite widely in the case of "the
hopelessly insane" (and the hopelessly and intractably trenchant,
i.e., the "incorrigible"?).

In part 6, which begins the questions and answers segment of the
lecture; someone asked Huxley a question concerning what Huxley terms
"scientific dictatorship". "Scientific dictatorship" is an
intentionally misleading misnomer. Scientists are wholly controlled by
large corporations and governments (the latter being the ex officio
clerical staff and security personnel of large corporations).
Scientists are deluded into thinking that they are essential, but the
untimely deaths of a hundred top-flight biologists over the period of
a very few years show that scientists working on "top secret "
research are eminently expendable.

The dictatorship may be science-based, but it isn't now, and won't be,
scientist-dependent. The corporate elite are practiced in the age-old
ways and means of making those they depend upon loyal.

And (I know. I know. You're not supposed to start a sentence, all the
more so a paragraph, with the word 'and'. Tough noogies. I like the
dramatic effect.) frankly, there are many more people with IQs in the
one in 30,000 range (presumably the IQ range of most of the best
mathematicians and physicists) than there are jobs in the sensitive
areas of the sciences.

What is said at the beginning of the next segment is extremely
important. Listen to what Huxley says about the "oligarchy" not being
a domesticated species, even though they have domesticated the rest of
humanity.

Aldous Huxley - The Ultimate Revolution (1962) pt.7/9

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IuJ0YbLgDQ&feature=related

To put the lie to this rubbish, simply observe the pomp and
circumstance and protocols of very strict behavior that the royal
families believe they must follow, and do so to the letter. Note the
strict, stylized behaviors of the secret societies. The monied elite
are roped in by "corporate culture". His illusion of being untrammeled
is very interesting. They cannot so much as dress inappropriately for
a given occasion. While it is true that they were not trained directly
by the masses, as they trained the masses; the absurdity of their
situation foisted upon them unnatural limitations and stylized, wooden
behaviors and norms. More to the point still, the elite are wholly
dependent upon technology to control the working classes. Somehow
being in the wild and natural human state and highest-tech R&D and
controlling the money system don't seem to jibe.

Listen to the conversation in whispers at about 3:00 into this
segment.

Is the interviewer kidding about the lack of windows in the lecture
hall being part of conditioning? They don't seem to laugh after the
comment.
