"Childhood's End" and the NWO

Karellen from Childhood's End miniseries

I read Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke when I was a wee lad. I was probably only in middle school, maybe 7th grade, so after a few decades, all I remembered about the story was the creepy transformation of the children and their ascent into space, so I am not sure how faithfully the SyFy miniseries tracks the themes of the book.

Childhood's End relies on the themes in the book Hamlet's Mill: the end of an age and the metaphorical destruction of the prior era. The series Under the Dome and the SyFy series Battlestar Galactica, which is referenced in the opening sequence of Childhood's End,  follow the same theme. Some of the actors in Childhood's End play a parallel character in other series. Karellen is played by Charles Dance, who played Tywin Lannister in The Game of Thrones. Mike Vogel plays Barbie in Under the Dome and Ricky Stormgren in Childhood's End.

Childhood's End might provide some insight into the myths and religious ideas underlying the "New World Order" and provides some insight into how world "leaders" imagine themselves, that is as agents of evolution of human consciousness, rather than destructive parasites. As agents of this evolution, they possibly believe they have license to destroy the prior order.

I think it's really a feasible theory that Communism is a religion with roots in equinox precession mythology. The slaughter of Russians by the Bolsheviks and the atrocities of the Cheka were not just the action of a vicious pack of atheistic killers, but actually had a religious motive. Their religion, though wasn't Christian, or Jewish. It was, perhaps, an extremist, literal interpretation of the mystery religion component of Masonry. (See: In the Shadow of Hermes for this interpretation of Masonry) Perhaps the commies are actually millenarians or maybe Great Age-arians. Marx wrote: "It must not only conquer a new world, it must also perish in order to make a room for the people who are fit for a new world"

In Childhood's End the movie's equivalent of the NWO is depicted as unwitting agents of this cosmic transformation. They are the idle, effete wealthy, lizard-like wine tasting aristocrats. With the help of the demon goat Karellen, maybe a Capricorn/Saturn/Devil fusion, they usher in a Golden Age, that is, the age of Saturn, which the real-world NWO seems to interpret politically as a communist utopia. In the utopia, people are strictly supervised and live like children in a garden of plenty. The opposite world is depicted in "New Athens" where people live as adults and art and culture still thrive, but society still has problems, politics, and crime.

In Childhood's End, the prior age ends with the pre-scheduled destruction of the Earth and the extinction of the human race. In Under the Dome the destruction of the Earth is a fraud and the agents of change are actually insect-like beings that attempt to usher in an insect-like hive colony world. (cf the Borg from Star Trek)

The equinox precession mythology might be the basis of the real religion of the people in the western world who attempt to shape political and economic events. They, perhaps, believe the apparent rotation of the constellations relative to the March Equinox is very significant and that new modes and orders are required when the Great-Age calendar page flips. They try to divine this order by listening to the stars.
