In 1985 a silver ring was thrown into a bonfire and the nearby buildings maintained their structural integrity. The real enemies needed the Ring to justify the ‘liberation’ of Mordor – the occupation of a Sovereign nation solely for the purpose of securing a cheap supply of Orc labour. Labour upon which the economy of the West of Middle Earth depended.

Gandalf and Elrond, under the cloak of friendship on one hand and a potential family relationship on the other, were easily able to manipulate their patsy, Aragorn, into producing ‘regime change’ in Gondor. Thus were they able to bring Gondor into the ‘Coalition of the Willing’ and use it’s proud people as arrow fodder to achieve their designs.

Only Saruman and Boromir (under the guidance of his far-seeing father, Denethor) saw the Truth. So they were swiftly and mercilessly assassinated. In Boromir’s case, by a classic ‘false flag’ shadow operation.

Frodo and Sam provided an easy means to achieve their ultimate aim. As insignificant nobodies, they provided Gandalf and Elrond with ‘plausible deniability’ should the operation fail. Who, after all, would expect the Wise to concern themselves with Hobbits.
