Under The Olive Tree

Covenants and Covens

The political leaders of our modern world continue to strive for the placement of international agreements on subjects as diverse as carbon emissions and trade barriers � to the uses of atomic energy � human rights, financial regulations, intellectual piracy and copyright, media access � the list of topics being negotiated is almost endless � and the hammering out of the details of treaties and agreements consumes hours, days, weeks & years of diplomacy. When these efforts fail � more drastic measures are employed � taxes, restrictions, tariffs, public denunciations, sanctions, even war.

We are all made aware of the scope and gravity of these global governance negotiations through the media. These issues are the subjects of movies and music � and are the focus of academic studies and research.

Volumes of material addressing these issues that discuss, explore and comment � and persuade, are added to our collective libraries and archives on a daily basis.

Covenants are at issue in each and every sphere of human endeavor, pursuit, and experience � and they are increasingly being adopted on a supranational level � overshadowing and replacing the force and propriety of local legislation and jurisprudence.

As far as covenants are concerned � we are sailing in open waters on a heretofore uncharted course � and our national identities and personal liberties � however limited or frail � hang in the balance.

But there is another equally significant propagation of understanding and global influence that is taking place � an even more hidden and in some ways more powerful development � covens.

Though covenants can engage and direct mankind�s intellectual and physical realities � covens lay hold on men�s ideals, psyche & thoughts � even unto the subjugation of his independent moral character, his free spirit, and his eternal soul.

Through the influence of covens we are slowly being initiated into the thought processes that will be the compass and sextant of the coming world order. The initiates who embrace these understandings fully will be given special privilege and recognition � and those who reject the teachings and refuse the accompanying rights of passage will be judged miscreants � to be pursued and prosecuted � first with the power of the covenants � and finally with a solution determined by the high priests of the covens themselves � not unlike the final solution embraced and carried out by the Third Reich.
