Plan Nine from Berchtesgaden
With the end of the millennium drawing near, it is increasingly important to be aware of possible political manipulation of people's apocalyptic fears and hopes. In that context, a channeling cult called "The Nine" bears particular examination. Purporting to be the "Ennead" (the nine gods of ancient Egypt), they have links to many different individuals and institutions including: Andrija Puharich (connected to the CIA's mind control programs of the 50's and 60's), Russians associated with the Gorbachev regime in the former USSR, the Esalen Institute and numerous New Age organizations. This organization espouses a racist, ariosophist philosophy that maintains that all of the Earth's peoples are descended from The Nine (and, consequently, superior) except for the black race (who are, consequently, inferior.) With the New Age movement growing and with 42% of American college graduates believing that we have been visited by space aliens, the danger that the views of The Nine could achieve widespread acceptance and lead to genocide is not one that should be too readily cast aside. (It should be noted that there is convincing evidence that so-called UFO's are real, but do not come from outer space. Should they be deployed in conjunction with other types of secret technology, the views of The Nine could be reinforced in a very convincing way.)
Fascism's New Age Connection
by David Lethbridge
To a certain extent it is surprising that fascist ideas have not already penetrated deeper into the New Age movement. Because New Age thinking has always been fundamentally opposed to science and reason, it has always been open to intellectual fraud, mysticism, and fanatical conspiracy claims. Certainly fascist ideas about such concepts as race and nation have always been steeped in mysticism and pseudoscience. Now, with the advance of the racism and paranoid conspiracy claims of the contemporary militia movement, New Agers are ripe for the picking. Ultimately, however, what is disturbing is not so much the possibility that increasing circles of the New Age movement will embrace neo-fascism, as it is the apparent ability of neo-fascism to continue to expand throughout increasing sectors of society.
