Comments on: Italian MEP on Bilderberg and Trilateral nominations for EU President and foreign minister http://www.conspiracyarchive.com/Blog/?p=3122 Anti-Theory Conspiracy Sun, 26 May 2013 09:14:36 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Terry Melanson http://www.conspiracyarchive.com/Blog/?p=3122#comment-11000 Terry Melanson Sun, 22 Nov 2009 23:34:35 +0000 http://www.conspiracyarchive.com/Blog/?p=3122#comment-11000 Well, the word "occult" has certainly been abused over the centuries. Academia has had a problem with it for a while. Everything that was recently dubbed "occult" is now labelled generically as "esoteric." If a laymen happens to mention the word occult in their presence, you will be chastised for your ignorance! (I believe "arcane arts" is still acceptable to sacrosanct scholars.) For the rest of us knuckledraggers, we can be forgiven, I suppose, for not realizing that "occultism" - "les science occultes" - was a designation first widely utilized by Eliphas Levi et al., and late Romantics, in France, during the latter part of the 19th century. No worries: as soon as "esoteric" proper accrues unpalatable baggage, they'll summarily christen another pc euphemism! Well, the word “occult” has certainly been abused over the centuries.

I don't speak Italian though, so I can't speak with certainty on the common meaning of the word “occult” in that language. According to this badly translated into English wikipedia article Mario is a bit of a nut http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mario_Borghezio but that doesn't chainge the validity of his comment. If the E.U is now, esentially, a nation state in the full political sense of the word (whether this is directly addmitted by its causious politicians or not) then it's president was not democratically elected by the citizens of that nation. Europe might have just dropped off the slippery slope and into the ravine. Happy landings everyone! Hail Caesar!
