I've posted in this forum an unsubstantiated belief that Benjamin Franklin was the top scientist in our history. I will now attempt to prove the same, by offering the second stage, or answer to, an experiment designed and implemented, in part, by Franklin himself, though you would never know it from any history or science text, nor even the writings of the period unless, as I have, you went about deducing its existance. I suspect that this experiment is known by the social elite worldwide, and in reality, is the basis of staged wars and and the controlled media and Western politics you watch.

I have also made an unsubstantiated claim that I am the leader of the Illuminati, the Freemasons, and Skull and Bones. That would take some doing, you might think, but in reality, it only requires completing the trifecta puzzle, explained nearer the end of this post. I started with the premise that life is a logic puzzle, and here's what I came up with:

This may have started with Constantine, and may go back further. As far as I can tell, however, though I am personally aware of Church history, including the adoption of the Greek concept of the triad into Christianity (First Nicean Council, Constantine himself was against this and considered it a heresy, as did the official liturgy, prior to that time), sale of indulgences, history of paedophilia and homosexuality and so on. That, however, is not my focus, because other historical figures have done that part for me.

Those historical figures were the American Founding Fathers, not the least of whom being Benjamin Franklin, discoverer of electricity and inventor of the lightening rod. Please bear in mind that they were Deists. It is said that the Washington Monument, inscribed with a single word, "Dei" is, in fact, a Mason symbol. If so, that would be a clue as to what follows.

One of the problems the Founding Fathers struggled with is the following paradox: Those most fit to rule have no desire, and those who have the desire are the least fit for power.

They also struggled with financing the Revolution, handled by Benjamin Franklin the Statesman. that story would be too much for this thread, but its worth a read.

I propose this to be their solution:

Knowing that freedom inevitably falls to tyranny, and bearing in mind Farnklin's quote along the lines of "He who would sacrifice an essential freedom for temporary security deserves neither freedom nor security." they took the challenge of ensuring the democracy's success to the next level, by combining it with the plight of mankind overall. How would someone who have read the Bible and translations of the Qu'ran (this is an important distinction, because it can only be properly read in Arabic) both resolve the problem of Satan? This is the key to man's evolution. Satan, as a base concept is paradoxically both the most intelligent of the Angels, the Angel of Wisdom (Revelation) and is said to have fallen from grace, hating mankind. Satan's prayers are not heard by god, nor those of the dead, only the prayers of the living.

The solution, then, was that the Founding Fathers resolved to use secret societies as a means to trick those deemed desirable into giving up their freedom for a group identity. Political parties, and later bureaucracies, labor unions, and so on,. did the same. The only way to properly view the situation is through the eyes of empathy. Consider the following likely scenario:

A young law student is admitted to Yale University. He is tapped on the shoulder, told to be at a certain place at a certain time for initiation. His family will, perhaps, require it of him. In exchange for their freedom, they may have endured physical or sexual abuse as a means to tear down their sende of individuality before being molded into their new group identity. After the humiliations and initiations are complete. it explained that, while he will become one of the most powerful and influential men in the country, he will also become a mere puppet to an organization meant to destroy democracy until somebody stops it. They hold Geronimo's skull  to see if anyone will do anything about it. The only thing that can be done is to free them. The only way to free them is something you never did, something I'm doing now.

What if George W. Bush, in fact, *wasn't* an idiot? What if he was, in all actuality, crying out for his freedom, hoping that someone, anyone, might figure it out and free him and Geronimo? Did you see it or take the easy way out and make fun of him? What if your entire view of world politics is wrong, if you only know what you've been told, and little more?

This brings us to the poor Freemasons. Upon joining the Masons, a leash is put around the neck. They are slaves. They build the pyramid with 1776 inscribed in roman numerals, an unfinished tomb. They are encouraged to be atheists. The irony here is that the Eye of Horus represents Satan watching over the world, whereas the Tomb can only be completed successfully by use of the Stone the Builder refused. I'd hate to be in their shoes, but I can free them by changing the markers, establishing the Galactic Museum!

Thus, the Illuminati. Their real goal is to illuminate, not deceive. They were a tool that you could have picked up at any time had you solved these puzzles, but instead lazy Internet folks began accusing them rather than trying to be a part of the solution. I wanted to change that.

Individual freedom in the U.S. was a reaction to the Divine Right of Kings. Both have diminished over the years, Humanity itself may be in danger if no solution is found. This is my best attempt, but please present a better one if you have such a thing!

By using the latest science, we must recognize the need for emotional intelligence, and in so doing, religious teachings become more relevant and applicable. The Golden Rule probably applies here. Jesus doesn't judge. only God does. Our place is to do good works, and pray for ourselves and others, in the hopes of gaining an improvement by it. so there you have it, that bet is settled. If it is my fate to be the most apt to rule, so be it. At least we don't go through any number of other end-of-the world scenarios I've considered. I'll try to be gentle implementing the New World Order.  That's supposed to be done by the close of 2018, you know.

This argument, of course, is a form of mainfest destiny. We can discuss it, but there isn't really any evidence available except for the obvious, news stories, veiled references, the rumor mill, and hope. We hope to free good people being forced to do bad things, in an effort to save humanity and preserve freedom. It is staggering to consider that this could be what was referenced by Hofstadter, insofar as breaking the cycle. Most scientists seem to disagree. Rather than argue with the fools, I will do what a respectable scientist does. I have decided to present this Divine Experiment to you, my fellow lovers of Real Science. As an unnatural charged with bringing about the End Times, I decided this would be the best way. I cannot accuse the Industrialists who made our economy the top in the world. I can't blame Rockefeller, the man who gave us the public library, nor can I blame anyone. All we can do is try to take or fathers' sins on our backs and hope it works out. Theology is a harsh mistress.

If I'm right, I have freed the slaves, and ensured that freedom will ring a little while longer for humankind. I have exemplified the heart of Islam, by placing none before Him, and believeing in the Last Day, and actively trying to make it better rather than ending up  as something like an ape or a pig, or worse. Humanity is all in this together, and all paths lead to the same truths. If I am correct, we have avoided a Revelation scenario, which only a madman would want to bring about.

If I'm wrong, either nothing happens or I become the Antichrist. I'm not blind in my right eye, so hopefully its not that last thing. These are exciting times in which to live, because science. We owe a lot of it to Benamin Franklin, arguably an adept social scientist well before his time, considering that nobody caught up with him until just now (the chances against my actually doing being astronomical). Good times.

tl;dr: The Divine Experiment is a societal expression of the Deist belief that the Creator, being perfect in every way, would use the best possible Design for the Creation, and therefore can have no need to intervene. In order to reatin religious freedom, the foundation of all other freedoms (endowed by our Creator certain inalienable rights) this argument would simply have to be deduced by someone who cared enough to present it. In essence, that they are all good people who make mistakes, but its not our place to judge them, only learn from them and pray for their souls. By repeating the argument in 2018, prior to the assigned date of the New World Order, it demonstrates that at least one American stood with them, a Cingular voice. By completing the trifecta I have successfully claimed the title of leader of the Illuminati, the Masons, and Skull and Bones. This will allow for the NWO to be benevolent rather than as a continuation of the unfortunate trend of the poor getting reamed. That is, if things are as I propose. If I'm wrong, I can rightfully blame the wealthy for all the problems in the world, whereas heretofore the reverse has been the case, the wealthy blaming the poor for not freeing them from the grasp of the secret societies. After all, there was a huge concentration of wealth in those days too, and the Americans did not have it.

This experiment proves or disproves itself, and world events will tell the tale. No further action or explanation required, and that is the beauty of it. For my readers anyway. I might have to do stuff if this is correct. If not, its a fun concept to consider. Discuss.
