Goethe's Theory of Colours

That's French for "the ancient system," as in the ancient system of feudal privileges and the exercise of autocratic power over the peasants. The ancien regime never goes away, like vampires and dinosaur bones they are always hidden in the earth, exercising a mysterious influence. It is not paranoia to believe that the elites scheme against the common man. Inform yourself about their schemes here.

"Cicero varietatem proprie in coloribus nasci, hinc in aliennum migrare existimavit. Certe non alibi natura copiosius aut majore lascivia opes suas commendavit. Metalla, gemmas, marmora, flores, astra, omnia denique quae progenuit suis etiam coloribus distinxit; utvenia debeatur si quis in tam numerosa rerum sylva caligaverit."
[Google translate: "Cicero varied colors in the spring, both against the aliennm to move goods. Obviously it is not the wildness of their resources to the other parts of the nature of the time recommended to be more abundantly or in a greater. Metals, precious stones, marble rocks, the flowers, the stars, and in fact all the colors of the things that has distinguished the it provoke evidence of their own; utvenia due, if any, in the woods are so numerous caligaverit."]
-- Celio Calconini
