I can't imagine that Foucault and Icke often get quoted in the same paragraph. Congratulations
In many of his shows Icke talks about people controlling peoples behaviour through right and wrong. i.e people dont dance around supermarkets because it is not an accepted practice by the majority of people.
His point is that Governments dont need to police peoples behaviour because we do that ourselves.
Very similar to Foucaults descriptions.

Complex, yes, in a hard-to-learn-and-remember-the-fucking-words kind of way, but in a pandimensional kind of way? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
I agree that it seems waaaaay-out-there, but that is not to say i dont find it interesting.
I think it important to break down ideas in order to try to understand where they come from and how they fit in with common-knowledge.

And quite right too. Unless, of course, you believe that Freemasonry is in the business of summoning pandimensional beings... Personally, as a Freemason, I'm very tickled by the incredible powers that people so often seem to ascribe to us: if half of them were true, I think a lot more people would be Masons...
I do think people who are in societies, such as the Masons, should have their loyality and 'who they are responsible to' questioned. I find it disconcerting that Judges are Masons because i wonder what principles are they drawing upon to make a judgement.
ie. does the rule of law get thrown out the window when the judge is confronted by another mason on trial?
also i am totally against MP's swearing allegiance to the Crown rather than swearing allegiance to the people.
for a perfect example of this 'trouble' see the court case brought against the police by the people who were on the receiving end of a beating at the titled
'Operation Solstice' or 'Battle of Beanfield' .
N.B i aint saying that the masons were behind Operation Solstice, but using it as an example of how Judges can sway a case if they really want to.
