Occult aspects of Ecstasy and its pushers

The day after Peter Jenning's April Fool's Day 2004 show about Ecstasy, "Ecstasy Rising," I went to the ABC website and perused the related section.  The main article, also entitled Ecstasy Rising, read like an Ecstasy-pusher's sales pitch:

-------------------
Overwhelming, positive word-of-mouth is often cited as the cause of Ecstasy's explosive growth.

"There is an evangelical fervor with Ecstasy," says Robert MacCoun, a drug policy analyst at the University of California, Berkeley. "People who experience it tell their friends to try it."

This has never happened before, said [Mark Kleiman, a drug policy analyst at the University of California]: "I have never heard anybody say to me methamphetamine improved my life. I know people who like to use cocaine, but I have never heard anybody try to claim that cocaine is good for me. But with MDMA, lots of people think that the drug has improved their life."
[...]

[Alan Leshner, a former director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse] launched the U.S. government's campaign against Ecstasy. The headline of this campaign is that Ecstasy causes massive brain damage.

Whether this is true remains very controversial.

The use of Ecstasy has declined among teenagers in the last two years. Is this an indication that Ecstasy is on the way out? Kleiman says no. "The [government's anti-Ecstasy] propaganda effort has had its impact, but it competes rather poorly, though, with word of mouth [rumor]."
--------------------

A sidebar contained the following links: Can Ecstasy Treat Post-Traumatic Stress?; Study: Teen Ecstasy Use Rising Fast; DEA, Military Announce Ecstasy Busts; and Ecstasy's Deep Abyss.  Following the second link leads to an article entitled Ecstasy: The New Cocaine?, which should be entitled something like: Ecstasy, Then Agony.  Fortunately, its dire warnings were the subject of a segment of Good Morning America, but they should not be buried in a sidebar under inappropriate headlines.

Ecstasy-pushers' targets: thought and free will

Reason and Knowledge only thou despise
The highest strength in man that lies!
Let but the Lying Spirit bind thee,
And I shall have thee fast and sure!
                                         Mephistopheles, Faust

MDMA was first synthesized by Merck Pharmaceuticals in 1912, after which it was patented and relegated to obscurity.  It was resurrected in the 1950s by the notorious mind-war practitioners of MK-Ultra, and became prominent in the late 1970s.

One of the more widely reported after-effects of Ecstasy use is a persistent difficulty in concentrating which worsens with each use.  This is due to the damage it does to the NMDA receptors:

"The NMDA (N-Methyl-D-Aspartic acid) receptor system IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT RECEPTOR SYSTEMS INVOLVED WITH COGNITIVE FUNCTION AND MEMORY. NMDA receptors are widely distributed in the brain, and their effects are mediated by excitatory amino acids like glutamate. It has been shown that the density of NMDA receptors declines with age. Damage to the NMDA receptors is also the most severe adverse effect of the street drug, Ecstasy (MDMA). " [a]

Obviously, an advanced society which allows widespread Ecstasy use among its young people, with their potential for a lifetime of intellectual contributions, would be suicidal, and would be allowing the forces of evil to undermine mankind's potential for consciousness-evolution.

In the course of researching this article, I remembered that I had previously covered a type of gathering similar to "raves" in an article entitled "Charismatic" Stimulation of Sentient-Soul Consciousness as a Recruitment Tool [1] When this was written, I confused sentient-soul consciousness with group-soul consciousness, and corrected this error in Fine-Tuning My "Group Soul" Concept [2].  This effect can be summarized as follows:

THE MORE FLAGRANT, MORE RADICAL, DEVIATIONS OF CONSCIOUSNESS are those where the will becomes defective or so weak that a man can do no other than surrender himself entirely to his life of soul with WHAT AMOUNTS TO THE EXCLUSION OF HIS WILL. [3]

As mentioned in my article The Eighth Sphere: Lucifer's Dream, relinquishing our reason and free will serves Lucifer's agenda of regressing us to our "cosmic childhood" so he can divert these forces into the Eighth Sphere, a work in progress which Lucifer hopes to rule forever.  Splitting the human soul thusly would bring human evolution to a grinding halt.

In connection with the quasi-group-soul consciousness sought through "raves," I found the following interesting passage on a website which blatantly downplays the downside of Ecstasy:

Raving is really nothing new.  It has a lot in common with rites such as the Eleusinian mysteries, the ancient Greek communal festivals involving the mysterious drug Soma.  It also mimics DIONYSIAN FESTIVALS [which were specifically intended to regress mankind to an earlier unthinking, clairvoyant mode of consciousness in which mankind "communed" with the spiritual world and was largely a puppet of certain benevolent higher beings such as Jehovah and other Elohim] , the American Indian long dance, Buddhist chanting, revivalist meetings, sports events, Grateful Dead concerts [attended by "Deadheads"] and the disco craze.  In each of these experiences, PARTICIPANTS LOSE THEMSELVES [indeed] TO A COLLECTIVE ENTITY IN A COMMON ECSTATIC EXPERIENCE THAT BONDS THEM TOGETHER. 

Most primitive cultures used some form of psychotropic substance in adolescent initiation rites, but our Judeo-Christian sensibility, morphed into Puritan "thou-shalt-not"-ism, forbids it. [He evidently doesn't make the connection between primitive cultures and the state of mind which produced them.]  However, repression hasn't stopped adolescents from craving THE DRUG-INDUCED VISION QUEST THAT HAS TRADITIONALLY BEEN A DOORWAY TO ADULTHOOD. [In primitive societies, perhaps, but not in advanced societies.] The fact that this behavior is deemed illegal and immoral means adults aren't around to provide any guidance or moderating influence to their children who reject the simplistic "just say no" message.

THE JURY IS STILL OUT OVER HOW HARMFUL OCCASIONAL MDMA USE IS [untrue], especially compared with other drugs.  But our government's enforcement-heavy response [based on sound arguments which the writer dismisses] probably won't have much effect on its use, and almost certainly will increase its harmful effects.

LaRouche vs. the Ecstasy-pushers

Not coincidentally, Lyndon LaRouche, the prime exponent of the free application of reason and science to the development of society (as opposed to "free trade" feudalism in which Synarchists dictate the shape of society through lies and, when necessary, brute force) traces the roots of his enemies all the way back to the practitioners of the aforementioned Dionysian rituals:

--------------------------
Since the Paris events of July 14, 1789, orchestrated by British agents Philippe Egalité and Jacques Necker, and until today, the greatest overt internal threat to the continued existence of modern European civilization, has come from the recurring public eruptions of a hybrid, quasi-Phrygian-Dionysian freemasonic religious association [i.e. one of many fronts for the Cult of Isis], known as the Martinists, which originally emerged during the closing decades of the Eighteenth Century. These Martinists have operated together with the network of family merchant-banks, which used them as instruments of political power. Britain's Lord Shelburne, then the leading political representative of Barings Bank, was a key figure behind the unleashing of the Terror of 1789-1794 [French Revolution], for example. This is the inner aspect of that recurring threat to civilization known to history books and newspaper headlines by such names as Jacobinism, Bonapartism, Synarchy, and as the fascist regimes which proliferated in post-Versailles Europe of the 1920s through 1945. The extreme right-wing Synarchist networks left over from the fascist regimes of the pre-1945 period, figured in crucial roles in the European terrorist wave of the 1970s, and are still active in Europe and the Americas today. [They were behind the Madrid train bombings.]

Although the terrorism motivated by today's Synarchists is presently the leading subversive form of security threat to U.S. interests, I am, so far, virtually the only candidate for the 2004 Presidential nomination who has exhibited both the will and knowledge to address the explicitly religious character of this specific quality of present threat in a systematic way.

Mammon-man George Soros is a major force behind the drug-legalization movement.  Although I question whether its actual goal is to legalize drugs or to sell more drugs by convincing people that they aren't all that bad, the main theme of this movement is that drugs aren't inherently very harmful, and that legalization would reduce the harm done by keeping them illegal.  There is some truth to this, but the implication is that the residual harm is acceptable, and that there are no better solutions.  EIR recently ran an article which exposes the connection between the Synarchists, Soros, and the push to legalize drugs, including Ecstasy:

George Soros is not a Democrat. He is, like Shultz, a high-level operative of the "Synarchists," the international fascist movement created in the 1780s in reaction against the American Revolution, to impose "beast-man" dictators from Napoleon Bonaparte, to Adolf Hitler, to Vice President Dick Cheney. The Synarchist International (see "Synarchy vs. America," EIR, Sept. 5) is the heart of the drug and terrorism operations that are used to destabilize most of the nations targetted by Dick Cheney's cabal today. [Note that opium production in Afghanistan is at record levels despite our supposed victory there.]

Soros is actually part of the Cheney operation, by virtue of Soros's alliance with fellow drug legalizer Shultz, the man who created the Bush Administration. Shultz assembled, in 2000, the team of Halliburton's Cheney and of the neo-con Likudniks Paul Wolfowitz and Richard Perle, to control then-candidate George W. Bush. The pre-emptive nuclear war policy of the Bush Administration that Soros says is a "danger to the world," was created by Soros's own cohort, Shultz. According to eyewitness accounts at Soros's Drug Policy Alliance conference, it was Shultz who created North America's biggest "legalized" dope operation in Vancouver, British Columbiawhich is now being used by Soros's DPA as the model of models for North and South America. From that conference, EIR can also report that Shultz and Soros have been working together for the last decade, including during the time Shultz created Soros' "enemy," Bush.
[...]
This was the message delivered at the bi-annual conference of George Soros's Drug Policy Alliance (DPA), at the Sheraton Meadowsland Hotel in New Jersey from Nov. 6-8. Throughout the three days, when away from the cameras and the tape recorders, speaker after speaker called for the legalization of drugs, and gleefully discussed how they would implement it, all the time whispering that legalization has to be "kept separate" from Soros's latest front-end operation: the takeover of the Democratic Party of the United States.
[...]
The worst [speakers at the conference] were "medical" experts. Chris Mann is the creator of MedEventa nationwide organization made up of volunteer physicians, paramedics, nurses, and EMTs who provide support for special events such as Raves. He argued that by making Ecstasy illegal, you are denying Rave participants proper medical attention, including chilling-out rooms. [Not necessarily - those who hold illegal raves would still be responsible for ensuring that its participants received necessary medical care, even if it alerts the authorities to the rave's existence - unless they want to be held responsible for the consequences of denying or delaying medical care.] Dr. Julie Holland, the "wicked witch" of Bellevue Hospital, took the cake, claiming that human beings have "a biological need to alter their states of mind.  She co-authored Ecstasy: The Complete Guide to MDMA [6]
-------------------------------------

Use Ecstasy?  It's a no-brainer!

The fact is that Ecstasy is being pushed by some of the most evil people on the planet, as part of their program to destroy mankind. It's a textbook example of how subtly true evil works - in this case, in the guise of a "hug drug."  A more appropriate name for it would be Anguish.
