The AFRICAN National Congress secrets

The African National Congress (ANC) was created at Bloemfontein, SOUTH AFRICA, on January 8, 1912, to defend the rights of the nation’s black majority from dominant racist whites.

Its first campaign was limited to opposing passage of the 1913 Land Act, which barred black Africans from owning land in broadly defined “white areas” of South Africa. That effort failed, and the ANC stagnated until 1944 when a new and more militant ANC Youth League was organized by activists Nelson Mandela, Oliver

Sleeper cells and Fear of the Assassins

Fear of the Assassins grew not only out of their ruthlessness but also from the unpredictability of their actions, and the near impossibility of preventing an attack once a command was issued. Hasan and his successors originated and perfected the strategy of “sleeper cells,” dedicated killers dispatched to communities hundreds of miles away and instructed to meld into local society until ordered to act. These devotees might wait for years until contacted by an envoy. By this time, they could approach the victim without raising suspicion about their identity or intention.

Adding to the difficulty would be the assassin’s demeanor—calm almost pleasurable, not fearing reprisal but actually welcoming it as his entry into Paradise.

Assassins' paradise and Hasan’s techniques

An afternoon with a barely clad girl willing to engage him in carnal delights would have the usual impact on a pubescent boy heightened even more by his narcotic-induced state of mind.

Hasan’s manipulation of his young followers spawned more than an efficient killing machine. It also spawned other fables that may or may not be rooted in reality.

As described in the ancient work Art of Imposture by Abdel-Rahman of Damascus, Hasan strengthened his power over the trusting disciples by digging a deep, narrow pit in the floor of his chambers.

Within the pit he positioned a young man, known to others in the fortress, so that only the youth’s head appeared above the level of the floor. Then, after filling in the space surrounding the young man’s body, Hasan had a two-piece circular dish with a hole in the middle set on the floor around the man’s neck as though the head were resting on a plate. To add to the subterfuge, fresh blood was poured on the plate, completing the realistic impression of a severed head.

The beginning of assassin power

Marco Polo accurately 

Hasan’s plan was based upon building trust and loyalty among a cluster of young followers by adapting methods pioneered at the Abode of Learning. After arriving in the Alborz Mountains, he traveled to a massive fortress shadowed by high mountain peaks north and west of the present Iranian city of Qazvin.

The land here is exceptionally rugged, with nearby volcanic Mount Damavand soaring almost 6000 meters in height, creating a natural barrier between the Caspian Sea and the gently flowing plains of central Iran. For many years, Shiites fleeing persecution from Sunnis fled to the Alborz for safety. Tehran, the capital, may be barely a hundred kilometers distant, but the region remains remote to this day.

Instead of pyramids, many secret societies and religious cults tend to be organized at the epicenter of a series of concentric circles, with the ultimate power residing somewhere in the hub. Circular organizations are not nearly as easily understood or penetrated as pyramid structures are because their internal mechanism remains concealed. In addition, the number of circles can vary, meaning that outsiders are never aware of how close they may be to the actual center of power. From the foot of a pyramid, you can see the summit, but from anywhere within a circular organization you can never accurately measure your proximity to authority.

In this manner, circular organizations conceal and protect their centers more effectively than pyramid structures.

In AD 1191 Conrad of Montferrat ascended the throne as King of Jerusalem, appointed to this position by the celebrated hero of the Crusades, Richard the Lion-Hearted. After instructing Conrad to rebuild Christian forces in preparation for his return, Richard departed for home, destined to achieve immortality as a fair-haired idol in tales of Robin Hood and fables of great heroics.

Conrad, who had campaigned against Henry, Count of Champagne, for the throne, planned to glorify his reign as King of Jerusalem by driving Muslims from the Holy Land forever, earning a hallowed place in history as a Christian hero, and a seat in heaven near the right hand of God.

He had precious little time to do it. Soon after Richard departed the Holy Land, three Christian monks entered Conrad’s campsite, bowing and making the sign of the cross to all they encountered. 

Their pious actions persuaded Conrad and his warriors to let down their guard, a fatal mistake. As soon as the monks were within reach of Conrad, they withdrew daggers from beneath their cloaks and cut him to pieces, slashing and stabbing in a violent display of butchery before the guards could intervene.

In October 1941 the Japanese government led by Prince Konoye was replaced by a purely military government, with General Tojo as premier and Shigenori Togo in charge of Foreign Affairs. The governments of Konoye and his immediate predecessors had scarcely been peacetime regimes besides being at war in China since 1931, creating the puppet state there of Manchukuo and fighting with some success an undeclared war against the Red Army in Siberia, Japan had been preparing for the expulsion of the Europeans and Americans from all East Asia but government was specifically created to fight the current major war in alliance with the Germans, who were then expecting and expected to defeat Russia within a matter of weeks. One Shigenori Togo's first actions were to call in his chief of signals Kazuji Kameyana and ask him whether the diplomatic ciphers were secure for Togo had read a book called The American Black Chamber by Herbert O. Yardley in which Yardley told much about American intelligence in the 1920 and more perhaps than he should have, and this from first hand knowledge about code and cipher-breaking before the Black Chamber was wound up in 1929.
