J.W. Bush is correct, I made a typo. It's Beamtenherrschaft.

Shea and Wilson (1975) discuss this rather extensively all throughout
their text, but most specifically in Appendix Gimmel of their book.

By the way, they also discuss Behavior Therapy in terms of what
they take as an equivalence relation to Magick in Appendix Lamed
of their book. It's an 805 page book, by the way, part fiction and
part fact.

Beamtenherrschaft means many things.  It is a season in the
Illuminati calendar, for instance, covering the dates, in our system,
from August 8 to October 19th. The Five Seasons are Verwirrung,
Zweitracht, Unordnung, Beamtenherrschaft, and Grummet. These
are in German because the founder of modern Illuminism, in 1776,
was Adam Weishaupt ("wise leader"), and it was organized in
Bavaria.  The 5 Seasons translate, roughly, this way:

Verwirrung = Season of Chaos.

Zweitracht = Season of Discord.

Unordnung = Season of Confusion.

Beamtenherrschaft = Season of Bureaucracy.

Grummet = Season of Aftermath.

Shea and Wilson suggest, to the reader, that in the Illuminati view
of history, cultures run through these stages as well.

The stages suggested by Hegel parallel these stages, too, except
that the typical Hegelian sequence has only 3 stages, thesis,
antithesis, and synthesis.  Shea and Wilson point out that the
full sequence has two additional stages, parenthesis and finally
paralysis.

The full sequence, then, is

thesis
antithesis
synthesis
parenthesis
paralysis.

Shea and Wilson note that "The public Hegel-Marx triad is also called
the tricycle, and the arcane latter two stages are called the bicycle."
(p. 745).

Shea and Wilson observe that "The Fourth stage, Beamtenherrschaft,
or bureaucracy, represents the Parentheses that occur when the
Hegelian Synthesis does not succeed in reconciling the opposites." (p. 747)

They describe Beamtenherrschaft thusly:

"This is the age of bureaucracy, and to live at this time is, as
Proudhon said, "to have every operation, every transaction,
every movement noted, registered, counted, rated, stamped,
measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, refused, authorised,
endorsed, admonished, prevented, reformed, redressed,
corrected...to be laid under contribution, drilled, fleeced,
exploited, monopolized, extorted from, exhausted, hoaxed,
and robbed."" (p. 752)

In other words, it fits the times we live in to a T.

The FDA just approved of digital implants last week, meaning
that implanted individuals can have their every movement tracked.

Shea and Wilson next add some esoteric stuff about symbols (they
do so for each of the stages).  Thus, in the Beamtenherrschaft,
they note that The Falling Tower (the 16th Tarot trump) symbolizes
this age. In the Illuminati version of this (and they wrote this
in 1975, which makes their book prophetic in light of recent
events), The Tower is struck by a huge blast of energy and
the inhabitants fall from the windows of this Tower,
which then becomes the Falling Tower.  Another symbol of
Beamtenherrschaft is the crescent moon, which of course,
is the symbol displayed on flags of most Islamic nations.

Symbolism aside, Shea and Wilson point out that during
Beamtenherrschaft "the burden of omniscience on the ruling
class becomes virtually intolerable, and most flee into some
form of schizophrenia or fantasy."  Anyone up for fantasy
baseball?  How 'bout them Lakers! Go Jets! Who wants to
be a millionaire?  You can observe a lot of public schizophrenia
just by watching the anchors and pundits on Fox News, for instance.  ;-)

Shea and Wilson point out that during this age "the underpinnings
of social solidarity crumble entirely." They add, "while blunders multiply,
no responsible individual can ever be found, because all decisions
are made by committees, anyone seeking redress of grievances
wanders into endless corridors of paperwork with no more tangible
result than in the Hunting of the Snark."  The Age we live in, to a T.
No one takes accountability for the failures in Education, for
instance.  We live in an age epitomized this way: "I did not have
sex with that woman, Miss Lewinsky."  Or the fact that bin
Laden is no longer the focus of the mission, even though just
months ago we were promised he'd be smoked out and hunted
down.

Shea and Wilson conclude: "Nevertheless, the burden of omniscience
on the rulers steadily escalates, as we have indicated, and the
burden of nescience on the servile class increasingly renders them
unfit to serve (more and more are placed on the dole, shipped to
"mental" hospitals, or recruited into whatever is the current analog
of the gladiatorial games), so the Tower eventually falls." (p. 753).

I don't necessarily endorse this view of history, and neither do
Shea and Wilson, but it is indeed an interesting one, known
to very few people. Most aren't even aware of the Hegelian-Marx
tricycle, let alone the added bicycle.  (Remember, endorsement
is a characteristic feature of this stage!)

Beamtenherrschaft is an age, too, in the modern era, of
massive behavior therapy on a large scale, because of so much
counter-control generated by the increasingly dysfunctional
bureaucratic system. The carefully arranged-for Bread and Circuses
is not enough, so mental or behavioral therapy is necessitated
on a large scale. But, hey, it's the age we live in, so somebody's
got to do it.  Better us than the other guy!  :-)

The Age of Grummet, the next one, is even worse.
