ORTHODOXY: THE PATRIARCHATE, ECUMENE AND SECULARISM
What is not permissible in peace time, may become a necessity in times of crisis or war. This has been an ontological reality since the beginning of recorded history. It is therefore no surprise that today's ruling class is using this technique to move the Overton Window whenever its serves their purpose. On the other side of this coin, there are institutions and organizations that were necessary in war time, but somehow manage to survive beyond armistice and continue well into peace time. Think of Operation Gladio ( link ). Another obvious instance of an organization living well beyond its expiration date, is NATO. Another case in point, the CIA, that began its life as the OSS ( link ).
