The International Committee of the Red Cross is Occult and Esoteric

Nitpicking Rakovsky’s first point really comes about as a result of nitpicking, and I accept full responsibility for it – if I’d phrased the sentence “Most esoteric groups claim some connection with one or another” rather than "All esoteric groups claim some connection between each other", his first point would have not even made it onto the page. Even so, to argue that an example of group A not knowing of the existence of group B does not mean that group B didn’t know about group A. Jordan Maxwell Jordan Maxell is one of my favourite conspiracy theorists, but I’ve never read a word of his – I’ve only watched videos of him talking about his ideas, and I believe that the quote given is from a video, not a book – http://www.google.com... . Maxwell tends to talk in a natural, unrehearsed way, and often repeats himself from one video to another, but does not have hard facts at hand, and no doubt checks his facts a little more before going into print. For example, the ‘British’ flag is not the flag of St George (that is specific to England). Britain uses the Union Jack – a red cross and red X with white borders over a blue background – there’s far more colours and shapes on it than the simple red cross on white background we’ve been describing. Neutral Flags Back to the Warzone argument – there already existed a perfectly useable flag for any group wishing to wander around in war zones – that of a white flag with NO CROSS, CRESCENT or ANYTHING!!! In fact, when John Lennon invented ‘Nutopia’ - http://en.wikipedia.org... - he chose a plain white flag for that very reason, so that his invented nation would always have to remain neutral in wars. Priory of Sion Proving my point for me again, Rakovsky uses the Priory of Sion as an example. He thinks that because this organisation was proven in court to be fake, that their connections with Rosicrucians, Masons and the Holy Grail did not exist. But this demonstrates how a new group (even if invented by one lone nutjob, assuming that Plantard was such) will always draw influences and ideas from older, more famous ones. And just like my hypothetical gangster in round 2, if you’re in court accused of running an illegal organisation, if you can convince the court that the group doesn’t exist, there won’t be any charges to face. Inner Knowledge As Rakovsky points out, I stated that secret societies claim inner knowledge about things like the holy grail or political change. In making this point, he has also presented a possible explanation for just what the Red Cross may have had as its founding motive. If the group was established with Zionist ambitions, its founder hobnobbing with Emperors might have been with that aim in mind. But because the central principal of Zionism was the establishment of Israel as a nation state, since 1948, that goal would have been completed, and would now not be the organisation’s hidden motive. Nobody would deny Dunant’s humanitarian aims – in the same way that Freemasonic lodges often make donations to charities. But his being a Mason would mean that he was a person with an interest in the occult, so it’s the chicken and egg again. Was he a Mason, in which case any organisation he set up would have Masonic influences, or is the suggestion that he was a Mason merely a result of the recognition of Masonic influences in his organisation. Burden of Proof To say “I would prefer to ASSUME a major international charity was not occult” (capitals added by me) seems like arguing “I would prefer to assume that nobody would ever do anything in secret ever and that everyone in the world is good and true”. I don’t have any direct evidence of a relationship, and neither would anybody other than those who are in on the secret, if there is one. But to say that organisations can use symbolism completely innocently and without any knowledge of its meaning is absurd. Even if they hadn’t done any research whatsoever into the occult, sooner or later somebody would have asked “did you know your symbol means this…?”. Stories abound of car companies whose sales are damaged by mistranslations of their products names. These stories are famous precisely because the first thing a corporation does when it finds out it made a mistake is TRY TO FIX IT!!! The ICRC wouldn’t even need to debate about changing their logo if it was COMPLETELY MEANINGLESS!!! They’d just say, “To avoid offending anyone, and to show we have no occult connection whatsoever, we are now using the symbol of a baked potato on a rainbow coloured background. Oh, wait – rainbow flags have gay-rights connotations… So no colours at all on the flag – we’ll just stick a baked potato on top of the flagpole.” If you’re going to march into a warzone waving a flag, you at least want to know what the flag means, and whether it’s likely to get you shot or not.In conclusion It IS unclear if Dunant was a Mason or not. It IS unprovable whether he had any occult plan for his organisation. And even if he did, I feel I should point out that ‘occult’ does not mean evil – it only means hidden. Coca Cola have a secret recipe for their drink; they are therefore an occult organisation. The very fact that it is impossible for any organisation to publish EVERY MEETING, CHAT AND DISCUSSION THEY EVER HAVE means that they all have things hidden from public knowledge. How can a company launch a new product if they told their competitors about it before even finishing their research? I close by saying that the Red Cross is, therefore, an occult and esoteric organisation because a) we don’t know the full details of their establishment, and b) their name is based on the esoteric symbol that they have used since their foundation.
