The Zul Enigma (68 page)

‘That’s exactly how it
started out and for a few months things got very ugly. The main global
organisations back then were the UN and the emergency Global Caretaker Group.
Well, the UN had no power… plus it was falling apart. At the beginning of 2013
members were already losing confidence in Mr Howard because of his strong
association with your father. Then, of course, all hell let loose when the
Tribunal announced that the UN was guilty of distributing the virus.’

‘Greg resigned, right?’

‘Yeah. After he quit
there was no one strong enough to hold it together. Of course the GCG’s
objective was to match supply with demand for all necessary food items, and
energy of course. And it did an admirable job. But even so, by the end of 2013,
everyone was struggling. Governments were forced to form coalitions just to
keep their countries functioning and the majority of politicians were
floundering because the expertise they had didn’t translate into solving the
problems that existed after the global massacre, which were more concerned with
logistics than politics.

‘That’s why the new
movement developed. It grew out of the GCG and the cohesion it achieved through
international businesses working together to continue supplying survivors with
the necessities of life. It didn’t stem from the old-style politicians. And
eventually it evolved into Global Governance, which was ratified by all nations
in late 2014. That’s when things began to stabilise.

‘It made sense, of
course. With such a drastically reduced population the world had to unite. It
was clear it had to be run by experts – like a corporation. So the Global
Currency was launched and global law enforcement under the Global Judicial
System was introduced. The UN, the World Bank, NATO, the European Union: they
were all dinosaurs. They’d outlived their dubious usefulness.
 
The world didn’t need them any more and
so they were disbanded. However,’ Scott tapped the armrests with the flats of
his hands, ‘the thing that never ceased to amaze me is how relatively seamless
the progression from old world operation to new world operation panned out…
especially since the devastation in some regions was so much worse than in
others.’

‘Six-sevenths of the
population was wiped out, the vast majority living in Africa, Asia, South
America and the Middle East, and those of us left in Europe, North America and
Australasia anticipated massive disruptions. We thought energy shortages would
affect supplies of water and food. But in truth it wasn’t nearly as bad as
expected. Of course, our governments had major headaches restructuring their
old frameworks of operation, but we never faced breakdowns in civil order and
we had all the essentials, like food. It wasn’t a picnic, for sure, but it
wasn’t nearly as bad as it could have been.

‘Then the new global
systems for maintaining infrastructure, finance, banking, commerce, government
and law emerged almost organically. Sure things were rocky at the beginning… we
had to make major adjustments to our lives. And the shock of what happened…
well… for those of us who remembered it, that never went away… it will always
haunt us. You can’t imagine it… waking up every morning to face another day
knowing eighty-five per cent of the population has been murdered? But if you
take that terrible mental torture out of the equation, in practical terms our
lives were affected to an amazingly small degree considering the monumental,
appalling thing that happened, and the world started to function very efficiently
within a relatively short space of time.’

‘Because of the UN Clean
Up Plan and Industry Operations Package?’

‘That was the story
trotted out. But let’s face it, why were they and the Global Consciousness
initiative so successful? Quite frankly, a lot of people considered the UN was
a bit of a joke. Sure, there were some genuine people – Mr Howard
certainly was one – but who ever took their campaigns seriously? Which
begs the question: why did so many people passionately support the ones launched
in 2012?’

‘You already answered
that earlier. Because Zul revealed himself and told everyone about the
evolution process.’

‘That may have had
something to do with it. But I think there was more to it than that.’

Rachael shrugged.

‘I think the real push
came from a very different direction. From the ultra-wealthy and powerful in
America and Western Europe, who behind the scenes had been manipulating the
activities of all major governments and the banking industry for years.’

‘What do you mean?’

‘The group that was
acting as an international shadow government.’

‘I don’t understand.’

‘Not many people back
then realised it, but a group existed that had been making global decisions in
a tiered degree of secrecy for years. It ran the planet. It decided which
policies to support and covertly promoted them through a selection of official
organisations.’

‘What organisations?’

‘There was the Council
on Foreign Relations, dubbed “the granddaddy of modern American secret
societies”. Membership to the CFR was by invitation only and rigorously
controlled. It included the most influential leaders in academia, commerce,
finance and the media. The role of members was to support selected policies
using intellectual and emotional arguments and to confound and discredit any
and all opposition.

‘There was the more
public Trilateral Commission incorporating Europe, North America and Asia. A
former CFR chairman set this up – some said to take public attention away
from CFR activities. Then in 1979, the Federal Emergency Management Agency was
created, a civilian organisation that in times of national emergency had the
power to take totalitarian control of governments.’

‘They could do that?’

Scott nodded. ‘Then
there was the Bilderberg Club. That was initiated to neutralise growing anti-American
feelings in Western Europe and included European royalty, CIA officials and
other prominent people.

‘There was the
Illuminati that originated in Germany in the 1700s and included some Jewish
bankers, so they said.

‘And I missed a couple.
That’s right, the Milner Group created in the UK by Cecil Rhodes and Lord
Milner in the 1890s… and the Skull and Bones that started in the US in
Connecticut. And we mustn’t forget the super-wealthy Rockerfellers and
Rothschilds. Their names were often linked with these groups.’

‘Are you saying that all
these people were in on the plan?’

‘Of course not! But many
individuals were active in more than one organisation. In any case, only the
very top echelon would have been involved, those with far-reaching influence
and power.’

‘Reaching as far as the
Tribunal?’

‘I don’t doubt it,’ said
Scott, putting down his glass. ‘There was also BIS,’ he said. ‘Some of its
members would have been involved.’

‘BIS?’

‘The Bank for
International Settlements. An international organisation of central banks that
had no accountability to any national government.’

‘It’s too monstrous to
imagine. That a civilian group would carry out such an atrocious act of
genocide.’

‘The pay-off
was
rather attractive. Absolute power! Come on Rachael, someone was behind it.’

‘Surely the American
military’s more likely?’

‘Why?’

‘Because that’s what the
military used to do. I don’t know how anyone justified it but for some absurd
reason in those days killing in the name of your country wasn’t a crime. In fact,
from what I’ve read, it was admired. Back then, in every country in the world
it was illegal to commit murder and yet murder in the name of your country was
rewarded. What hypocrisy!
That’s
why the military makes more sense.
Anyhow, what proof do you have?’

Scott shrugged. ‘None.’

‘So why are you so
sure?’

He twisted to one side
and massaged his knee. ‘Over the years leading up to 2012,’ he began, as if
delivering a lecture, ‘a growing voice of journalists, political researchers
and writers not only maintained that a secret shadow government existed which
was covertly responsible for every critical decision affecting finance and
commerce round the globe, but that the goal of this rule of secrecy, which had
existed for centuries, was to introduce a New World Order.’

‘How?’

‘Its
modus operandi
for years was to disrupt countries by creating severe crises requiring
long-term help from other nations, thus eroding national sovereignty and
replacing it with the group’s own supreme sovereignty – the New World Order
or the term with which
we
are familiar – Global Governance.

‘Before the turn of the
century, this group already realised the exponential growth in population on
the planet was creating ever-increasing problems. Then there was the conflict
it had created in Palestine, Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan, while trying to
destroy the sovereignty of those countries. Managed conflict was the term used
at the time, which incidentally was also a good money earner for the group’s
personal empires.

‘The dragon, China, owned
the US. It was breathing fire. India and Pakistan were posturing and, although
BIS had been plugging holes in the banking industry for years, they knew the
writing was on the wall. Instead of just banks going under, whole countries
such as Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain were going bust. The entire financial
system was about to implode, with who knew what repercussions?

‘Things were not looking
good. Not good at all and I think the shadow government was already hovering on
the brink of taking a radical step to solve its problems. Now, after reading
your mother’s book, I’m sure it was proof of an imminent global cooling cycle
that gave them the nudge to put their plan into action.’

‘And slaughter all the
poor? But that’s appalling!’

‘Some top-level Russians
would have been in on it too. Remember how I told you it was Russian technology
monitoring solar cycles that first predicted global cooling and that same
Russian technology was installed on the International Space Station? The US,
the Russians, the Canadians, the Europeans and maybe even the Japanese –
all the nations corroborating on the International Space Station back then
– I’d guess they all knew about it… and understood the ramifications.’

‘But it’s unbelievable.’

‘It’s logical. The group
had the power and it controlled the media. It had the resources to manipulate
the world.’

For a long while Rachael
sat in silence chewing on her lower lip. ‘My mother said Zul’s appearance added
to the magic of the Global Consciousness initiative. I suppose that’s the exact
impression they wanted to create: that the world was heading for a magical,
non-threatening, spiritual experience. And you’re saying they made sure the
press reported what they wanted the world to believe – that it kept up
pressure, encouraging people not to fear E-Day but to prepare for it and
embrace it.’

‘And of course it would
have used its influential contacts to make sure the UN’s Clean Up Plan and
Industry Operations Package were adopted globally and were sophisticated enough
to deal with the carnage it planned. And it would have manipulated the reaction
of political and religious leaders too.’

‘When I first read my
mother’s manuscript, it struck me as odd that everyone was so accepting of Zul.
She and my father even made a joke about the media being so consistently
positive. But all that changed at the end, didn’t it?’

Scott nodded. ‘And it
wasn’t surprising, in spite of the alleged evidence proving Zul’s theory of
evolution, that a group of physicists announced they’d found towards the end of
the year. By the eleventh hour we were all getting cold feet. It was too
horrific and we couldn’t keep up the blasé act any longer. But somehow we still
had to get through those last terrible hours of anticipation and uncertainty
– we had no choice. By that time, though, the group didn’t care. It just
wanted to maintain civil order during the lead up to keep a lid on the panic.’

Rachael shook her head.
‘It must have been terrifying.’

‘It was. Then on 21st
December, under cover of evolving to higher consciousness, the group committed
the most massive act of genocide in the history of the world, and ensured its
“pawns” would be elected to newly created offices in the top echelons of Global
Governance. That night, the murderers sang a victory song, safe in the
knowledge that they finally did rule the world and would always do so.’

‘I can’t imagine what it
must have been like for those of you who were left,’ Rachael said.

‘The entire planet went
into shock. Into shock and mourning. We didn’t recognise it at the time, but we
were victims of something called the shock doctrine.’

‘I’ve heard of it,’
Rachael said. ‘It’s what the Tribunal accused my father of using. And Anderson
tried it on too. He hoped to use world focus on the Global Consciousness
initiative to distract public attention from him reallocating NASA’s budget.’

Scott tipped his head to
one side. ‘What Anderson planned was significantly different. That was a
diversionary tactic. No element of shock was involved.’ He picked up his glass.
‘The global massacre, on the other hand, was the real deal.’ He swirled the
liquid round in his glass and took a sip.
