Ego Atheist --  The world of darkness is summarized in the definition of the "warshippers" of The Great God Money.   Here is:

The  Ego-Atheist's 
Sacred Doctrine of
The  Church  of  Cheezus  Dollars.

First we must clearly distinguish an ego-atheist from all the other  atheists.   For lack of a better term, we shall refer to the people who aren't  ego-atheist as humanitarian atheists.  A humanitarian atheist is pretty much like most of the rest of us, basically kind, loving, generous, with a desire to be of service.  They just don't believe in what is commonly called "God."   Now we can define an  ego-atheist.

The typical villain in a James-Bond-type book or film exhibits certain character traits.   Like dogs bark and cats meow, villains also express their own predictable behavior patterns.   Below is a not-so-subtle, poke-fun-at-em description of those behaviors.   Unfortunately, we also, at times,  see some of these character traits in real life ego-atheists.

(A)---   Self-interest as Prima Donna.

(B)---   The only criteria for judging actions is "THE-BOTTOM-LINE.” -- What is the physical result? -- Did I get what I want?

(C)---   Acts of war'ship to the deity, The-Great-God-Money" are rewarded, not in some pie-in-the-sky-by-and-by kind of way,  but in the  “prove-it-to-me,”  “show-it-to-me”  tradition of:  "Lie another lie  and kiss my thigh  all the way to the bank."

(D)---   All the invisible hocus-pocus that the old, "religious fools" call “spirit" has been neatly thrown away.

(E)---   There is absolutely no consequence or responsibility for any actions -- unless the doer gets caught in the act.

(F)---    The long-term effects of one’s actions upon the Earthly environment and upon future generations are completely irrelevant.

(G)---   As war’shippers of The Great God Money, they even have their own Golden Rule:   “He who holds the gold, rules.”

Never Accept Responsibility:   Always have a scapegoat handy onto whom responsibility can be heaped and who can be sacrificed to quell public outcry.  Remember most people are willing to forgive the transgressions of their leaders as long as it was someone else that got screwed, and most people have a short memories.   

The Ego-atheists have their own Scout's Honor code:   "On my honor, I'll do my best to take what's mine and steal the rest."

The Ego-atheists have their own Golden Rule:   "He who controls the Gold rules."

Arrogant Self-Righteousness:   Notice the people who think they have "THE" answer and who are more than willing to tell you about how great they are.    Their body language and their behavior says,  "The world revolves around me."   They offer living proof of the old saying,   There are none so self-righteous as a reformed sinner."

Destroy the Opposition:   Did you ever wonder why potential leaders of the light and truth seem to have a short life span.   Malcolm X,  President John Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., Anwar Sadat,  John Lennon,  John Denver, John Kennedy Jr.

Setting up accidents, simulating suicides, or using biological agents such as aids are superior to outright open murder.   If you can't murder them, then destroy their reputations or destroy them financially.   

Destroy all opposition before they become popular or powerful enough to be a threat.   Destroy all heroes.    Leave no role models within the opposition.

An Example:  Saddam Hussein, the infamous, former dictator of Iraq took this one to the extreme.  Here are his words:  "It's better to kill and ally than to allow an enemy to survive.

A Second  Example:  The Eight-year-long attach on President Clinton was not about sexual morality, it was a Republican-sponsored, political-publicity smear campaign.   It's one and only purpose was to destroy President Clinton's vote-getting capacity of the 2000, political election.

Slander:   When con artists can't refute the evidence against them, as is the case with the forced motherhood leaders, the common practice is revert to personal slander against those who offer the evidence.   

Constantly at war:   Declare war with anything and everything that we don't approve of or that can make us money.   Controversy sells!   And it's a multi-billion dollar business..  Declare war against anything and everything that could be used against us or that could be used to find out the truth about what we are doing.   Censorship and secrecy in government are both great con artist  tools.

Divide and Conquer:   Set up a team whose job is to look for people with the right psychological profile so that they can be manipulated and used.   When they are found, do whatever is necessary to support their efforts against the opposition.   An example

Secrecy:  They hide unethical, immoral and illegal behavior under the cloak of secrecy and justify secrecy by saying:  We can't tell you what we're doing because if we did, the enemy would have access to information that could hurt you.

Hidden Taxes:  They hide the way they get into your wallet.  Peddling the illusion that corporations pay taxes is an excellent example of this.

Raise Hypocrisy to an Art Form:  Do as I say, not as I do.   The laws [the behavioral restrictions]  apply to you, but not to me.   Promote restrictions in the name of security.   Promote restrictions in the name of righteousness.  Promote restrictions in the name of morality.
Example one       Example two

Tobacco: Don't outlaw crime, license it and control it, and above all, get a piece of the profit.   The relationship between the tobacco industry and the government is probable the most blatant example of this.   The tobacco industry peddles death in the form of nicotine addiction and the government subsidizes tobacco growers and collect a percentage of the profits.

Gambling:   Politicians, who publicly deplore and outlaw gambling, set up a lotteries.

Usury:   Politicians pass laws  restricting  interest rates to a maximum of ten percent, but exclude themselves and their owners from having to obey that law.  (See the next section.)

Usury:   Use anyone and everyone whenever and wherever possible.

An Example:  There is a federal lawmaking it a criminal offence to loan money and charge an interest rate over ten percent.   Years ago, when the mafia openly engaged in this practice it was called loan sharking.   Today if you and I do it,  it's called usury.   

But, credit card companies and the banks that own them are allowed by law to loan money charge any interest rate they want to charge.  The mafia is now in the banking business and is still  engaging in usury and loan sharking.

Legal Bribery:   What is another word for lobbyist?  Their job is to enter the halls of our congress and bribe the legislators, to buy their votes with favors and re-election campaign money.  

Enron-Style Accounting:   You've probably heard the line,  "There are lies.  There are damned lies, and then, there are statistics."   The truth can be distorted in oh so many ways.   Watch out for accounting fraud.   

An example:  The Federal government places the national debt at nearly seven trillion dollars.  But what is not included in that figure is the approximately forty trillion dollars that was paid to Social Security Administration.  This money was supposed to be held in trust and invested, the profits from which were to go back to the people.  Instead the government spent the money.   Not only do they not have any profits, they no longer have the original capital.   Thus the national debt is at least forty-seven trillion dollars.  

How will they deal with this?   You've already heard them say the Social Security Administration is bankrupt.   They will  simply make that declaration official, and over two-hundred and sixty million people will be robed of their retirement funds.   And, after the announcement, the crooks will simply get into their driver down  chauffeur-driven limousine and ride back to their mansions.

Lack of Accountability:  They have set up layers of insulation so when someone gets caught in the act of committing a crime , those in control claim no knowledge of the behavior of their subordinates.   One or two of their followers are sacrificed, and then they will proclaim that the problem solved.

Honor the Letter / Kill the Spirit:  The elite groups have private training programs where they teach their potential future leaders how to get around the laws and rules.   Some law schools have classes in how to follow the letter of the law and at the same time get around it.

Control Education:   "Get the child and you've got the adult."  Re-write history books to hide the real stories about how the moneyed elite acquired their wealth.  Replace reality with a stories about reality.   Remember the old slogan, "The winning  side gets to write the history books."

Spin the Truth:   They tell one side of the story and deceive by lies of omission..  Claim that omitting portions of the truth are not spinning the truth.

Ecclesiastical Despotism:   Examine the history of religion.   Ultra conservative Christianity has a 2000-yaer-long history of deception, arson, and murder.   Look how the Islamic faith is today being distorted by an despotic minority.   How many religious wars have occurred in the past 2000 years?  How many are going on right now?

Note the difference between a religion's philosophy and the people who control the religion's social structure.   Note this same distinction in the political arena.

Take and Give:   Whatever the government gives, it must first take away.   Illusion and manipulating the monetary system are their most powerful tools in this regard.   

Cash and Money Laundering:   Always pay for unethical, immoral, or illegal activities with cash or other untraceable items of value. 

Close-Minded:   They are closed to new ideas, new possibilities.   Regarding religion, they are completely close-minded to any new information about the nature of man, and the nature of reality. 

Justifiable Enslavement:   In this tactic, the manipulators secretly make decisions for other people without their consent and without their knowledge.   They may make public declarations of their intentions and offer what they call service where their intervention is neither, requested or wanted.   Their intervention is justified by saying:  Because we know better than anybody else, that justifies our right to enslave others.   We are enslaving them for their own good or for the good of someone else.

Seek Wealth and Power, and Claim a Special Position:   Since God talks to me and not to you, I'm the leader.   You need to support me.    Give me some money.
