The order is
Rapidly fadin’
And the first one now
Will later be last
The old order is rapidly fading. What was the old order? The aristocracy. In the 20th century, we have seen the aristocracy replaced by the financiers as the controllers of society. The Jews, who were formerly last, will be first, and the aristocrats will now be last. The old houses will be pulled down and replaced by new mansions. These lines are usually read as Biblical references, as in the meek will inherit the Earth. But that hasn’t happened, has it? No, because that was never the plan. That isn’t what these lyrics mean. No one ever gave a damn about the meek. The same can be said of Lennon’s song Imagine, which is commonly misread as progressive. It is beautifully arranged and performed, which makes it so seductive, but it isn’t progressive at all.
Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today…
Sounds great on a cursory reading, but if you read it in context of recent history, it becomes far more sinister. As I show in my paper on Theosophy, the financiers have been trying to destroy all religions in order to co-opt their tithe. If the religions are gone, you have no one to go to but your government. The government becomes your priest and confessor, your father, brother, sister and mother, and all your alms go to it.
Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace…
No countries. Does New World Order mean anything to you? Without countries, there are no laws except the laws the financiers impose on you. For them, anything goes. That is precisely what we have seen in the past 50 years, and especially since the 1990’s, when NAFTA and GATT gutted all local laws in favor of corporate rapine.
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
I can. After they take all your possessions, you are left with none. That’s what we’ve seen in the past decades, as the superrich have sucked the middle and lower classes dry with various grand thefts like LIBOR, quantitative easing, corporate bailouts, and a raft of others. And you don’t even possess your privacy anymore, since they are spying on you all the time, with satellites, appliances, street cameras, web snooping, illegal phone tapping, open emails, and so on.
