The Liberation of Realism

Does human misery come from victimization or a defective species?

2009-06-27T21:25:00.000-07:00

(1.) Explanation one: The social matrix of the world we're born into is fundamentally a host for The Beast (mentally ill religious fanatics, astronomically rich parasites, and the KKKesque, psychotic right wing of every country on the planet). This is clearly a victim explanation, much like being an innocent child born into a defective, dysfunctional family. Said more formerly, this is the sociological explanation for our slave civilization, i.e., the American police state Dictatorship of the Rich.

(2.) Explanation two: We are victims of the power and wealth of roughly 1% of the planet, i.e., astronomically rich elites -- Paris Hilton comes to mind. Against such limitless wealth and power we (basically, the entire human race) are simply cattle on the way to the slaughter house. The evidence is overwhelming that the Haves are committing systematic genocide all over the planet. They think we need to be weaned of around two billion cattle (oops, I mean human beings). They already got a good start in Africa and New Orleans was probably just a fun experiment.

(3.) Explanation three: Lets face it; the world is chiefly made of deadweight, deadbeat, brain dead enablers and scabs, without which The Beast would have no social acceptance. We should never forget that "social acceptance" is the very life blood of The Beast (or the Haves), so the enablers and scabs (e.g., Bill Clinton's right of center army of DLC deadbeats), are the absolutely necessary putrid underbelly of The Beast. No enablers, no Beast. Oh yes, what about Obama? Obama who? He doesn't even exist. He's done about 3% of what he solemnly promised he would do during the presidential campaign, so, next to Bill Clinton, he’s probably planetary enabler number two. Lastly, please note that explanation number three is also a victim explanation. However much we may rage about it, the enablers give acceptance and power to The Beast -- and have done so for thousands of years.

(4.) Explanation four: First, we should note that we could articulate several more victim explanations, but that's of no consequence, since the time has come to look at the REAL explanation -- which, guess what (?), isn't a victim explanation at all.

OK, what follows will be vigorously objected to by many readers. but perhaps also vigorously agreed to by even more readers.

However, before entering into this, may I ask the indulgence of many of my reader friends (or whomever) that what follows may well be the end of many (most? all?) of my future submissions since for me it is the absolute bedrock account of this pitiful human carnival we all are putting up with.

The victim explanations are trash. ALL of them! Certainly they each have their role in this convoluted sitcom called the human condition (also called "consensus reality"), but in the words of my high school debate coach, they all put the emPHAsis on the wrong syLLAHble.

Here's a little background for the asserted real explanation.

First, since it’s obvious to barnyard animals that the scam of "politics" (ALL forms, ALL parties) is not only not part of the solution, it IS the problem since it was invented by and for the elites to recycle the status quo (jeez, just look at Clinton and Obama), first things first should be to turn to APOLITICAL activism when dealing with The Beast. Revolution is certainly one possibility, but there are also several non-violent ones (e.g., national/international boycotts, strikes, etc.).

The core evil of life is festering in places like the Israeli extremist right wing -- or ANY collection of murder in the name of God multi millionaires and billionaires. But what do we do with these infinitely righteous psychopaths? Well, with abundant help from suck up Bill Clinton, we allow the AIPAC to wag American Middle Eastern foreign policy like a tail. Gee, wouldn't it be a miracle if Americans got to decide our OWN foreign policy? Don't hold your breath.

Time for a brief pit stop since this list of anti American (and anti EARTH) atrocities could go on and on. But you see that's just the point. We already know EXACTLY who are the psychopaths and murderers! We know EXACTLY who keeps destroying the American economy, we know EXACTLY who keeps metastasizing the Middle East cancer to the entire planet, and we now have scientific and observational evidence piled to the moon that 9/11 was a national/international inside job.

And of course we know EXACTLY who keeps raping and murdering Mother Nature. Duh, how about fossil fuel Earth killers, retarded haters of science, and "preemptive" warmongers who use our children for cannon fodder in their money cow oil wars?

It's time for the bottom line (and maybe one of my last ones). We now know EVERYTHING about the dynamics of evil (i.e., The Beast – who they are, where they are, etc.)), and we know politics is the very life blood of The Beast, and we know ONLY apolitical solutions can save our country, human civilization, and the life and death ecosystems of human existence (as well as thousands of "innocent by stander” species), but we still keep sucking our thumbs in consensus reality, babbling about elections, political parties, and elected traitors. Since we could realistically, apolitically DESTROY THE BEAST in a matter of weeks (the power we could focus is effectively limitless), the conclusion is as inevitable as death!

We "allow" The Beast, we "allow" the miraculous Earth to be ravaged and mangled, we "allow" our descendants to have no future, we "allow" the gaggingly righteous Israeli fanatics to steal an entire country while turning Palestine into a WW2 concentration camp, etc.

Any species which would allow the criminal theft of ethical/rational nations, the murder of civilization itself, as well as its own self extinction and the suicidal betrayal of its planetary home, is not being "victimized"! The evil is as exquisitely obvious as how to deal with the evil.

Thus, there is only one POSSIBLE explanation of such infinite stupidity, betrayal, and cowardice. The human species is radically, ontologically, spiritually, existentially defective. There can be no excuse in this or any other universe, whether there is a God or whether there is not a God, for how we are dealing with the ultimate (and TOTALLY solvable) challenges of human existence.

The Beast is the God of this planet because humans are cosmic slobs bound for an appropriate and inevitable extinction.

Victims, hell! We are allowing EVERYTHING and the Earth is probably holding its breath until Homo sapiens reap the inevitable extinction fruit their pathetic defectiveness has sown.

300 more years, tops.

Addendum: I almost didn’t add this because it’s going to be tip of an iceberg (as opposed to a monograph), but I know in my quarks many readers (pro or con) are going to challenge me with being a member of the very species I am throwing into the trash heap.

Not a problem. Over the millennia, many Homo sapiens have “transcended” their species. Not physically or biologically perhaps (even though suddenly computer/android possibilities are exploding), but in ways impossible to briefly articulate.

May we go back to “consensus reality” (a good jumping off place)? Consensus reality is basically the mind set of the human species. The context for this is simply out of reach in a mere “addendum”, but it is similar to the ancient oriental intuition of “maya”. Consensus reality is a language/thought version of life. It’s what we see when we look at raw givenness “through” totally arbitrary and programmed though-forms (the Hindu/Buddhist name/rupa).

The thinking about point of view, for example, presumes to put reality into perspective (from what vantage point, one wonders). It is also the essence of what we mean by words like ego/personality. The famous “separate self” (separate from the equally famous “external world”) is the fundamental identity of human beings.

But, this is really an intelligence embarrassment since NOTHING is “separate from” reality and equally NOTHING is an island of self existent being. Sorry about the philosophical jargon and I will shut up about all this as soon as possible.

The point I am struggling to articulate is that just because you have two legs, two arms, and a head may mean you are a certain kind of life “form”, but life is n-dimensional and you may be a VERY different being beyond the relative appearance.

Any speculation about a deep connection between the profoundly defective Homo sapien species and “consensus reality” (a criminally simplistic version of the reality/universe) is beyond the scope of this paper, but it is almost certainly true that this effectively universal mind set has programmed our species to act out delusion.

Life is clearly a unity in process and eternally beyond the reach of pseudo separate selves and arrogant thought (basically, internalized language). Thought is the long arm of conditioning, but liberation is groundedness in transcendence. Only if and when the human race realizes that “awakening” (to use that beautiful word) is not that the dreamer finally wakes up from the dream but that SOMETHING MORE REAL THAN THE DREAMER wakes up from the dreamer, will the human species be free.

Some readers may feel offended that our species is being discounted (hey, ye shall judge them by their fruits), but miss the affirmation in the addendum that (however radical this may sound) our species is almost irrelevant.

I have given much of my life to try to “help my species”. However, I think that is now finally over for me because apparently our species is simply beyond help. If you could give an IQ number to a species, I think Homo sapens are down there in the 80’s (sad, sad, sad), hence I am in the process of cutting myself loose and returning to dimensions inaccessible to these defective creatures.

I feel a certain sadness that this means I’ll no longer be fighting the good fight against The Beast in general and the Israeli lunatic right wing fringe (the core evil of our desperately wounded planet) in particular, but one can go on only for so long when the ultimately evil and dysfunctional tragedies of a species are COMPLETELY UNDERSTOOD, plus how to remove these dysfunctional evils are also COMPLETELY UNDERSTOOD, and yet the species in general takes no responsibility for anything and simply waits (however unconsciously) to go extinct. Well, be my guest and don’t bother to shut the door behind you. Believe me, you won’t be missed.

Several human species were experimented with by evolution. Clearly the wrong one briefly survived.

Oh well, it’s a big universe and intelligence/spirituality isn’t limited to mere appearance.

Is the evolution of our species now hopelessly bogged down in evil?

2009-06-21T08:47:00.000-07:00

Karl Sagan, author and astrophysicist from Cornell, used to wonder if atomic weaponry would be the nemesis of most "advanced species".

A flight of fancy of sorts since whales and elephants are certainly advanced species but don't feel the need for technology (and should we patronize them for this since they aren't rapidly destroying the planet?). Is it possible that much of science and technology are actually synonyms of self destructive stupidity? A kind of short sighted greed, perhaps.

In any event, what has now TOTALLY blocked the evolution of the human species is pure evil. The Israeli lunatic right wing fringe of astronomically rich sociopaths is the absolute outer limit of evil. Similarly, so do all mentally ill religious fanatics poison the march of human civilization. And, probably most of all, the Earth's Paris Hilton's and astronomically rich parasites (and vampires -- remember, it's all really OUR wealth), necessitate convoluted social/financial structures and processes which are the "crown of thorns" or highway to hell (or your metaphor of choice) for Homo sapiens.

Maybe the wrong species got killed off during the demise of the Neanderthals.

Remember, "human" is a generic word that evolution has experimented with in actually a great many forms -- we're just the form that is still standing.

But what's the problem? Not a candy ass "religious" problem or a candy ass "political" problem but THE problem? Why is our species well on its way to going extinct? Indeed, why is it a near certainly that Home sapiens are going bye bye in the relatively near future (and taking countless "innocent by stander" species with us in the process)?

Well, the afore mentioned right wing billionaire religious nut cases would be a good place to begin, because probably no place else on the planet can you find such a marriage in hell between infinitely righteous religious sociopaths and astronomically rich elites.

However, alas, they are just a sample of evil, since evil is as omnipresent as our breath.

But what IS evil? Well, we don't have to get particularly metaphysical about this. Evil is a function of human society. It has to do with the interactions of quantities of us (or probably any advanced life form).

So there's a decidedly "quantitative" variable here. As our numbers increase, so does the complexity of our social infrastructure. And that seems to be the rub, since invisibly and insidiously the "social game rules" are conditioned into our vulnerable, biological brains.

And just here is the door to hell. This dimension can be called "consensus reality" and it's an admixture of language (always language!), the past, memory (not always our friend), and the miscellaneous conditionings of our time, place, and families (often profoundly dysfunctional).

More openly, here are the programmed religions, laws, constitutions, and "theories" we so love to worship.

In short, here is the stopping point of our species. Not atomic weapons, but the accumulated programming of years of social/psychological conditioning.

The "operational definition" of all of the above is THOUGHT, because consensus realty IS thought; hence the thing the human race does best is think itself to death.

On a positive note, words like liberation, transcendence, and Enlightenment are "mystical" (the shoe fits) alternatives to this "swallowed whole" existence. The intelligence limitations of our species are still sublimely unknown, but whatever pragmatic value consensus reality may offer, our lives don't even BEGIN until we get straight that this fire storm of conditioning that has become the "mind set" of the entire human race (indeed, the very "God” of the human race), is fundamentally, radically, and biologically arbitrary and random.

In the context of this piece, what this means that the SOCIAL GAME RULES that perpetuate the "Have's", that justify their astronomical wealth and power, and that (worst of all!) give an obscene "righteousness" to deranged right wing lunatics who so love to commit genocide for the glory of God, aren't worth the toilet paper they are printed on.

And exactly here is where our species is probably doomed since many are called but few are chosen when it comes to being true to your birthright self and finding a reality/creativity/intelligence center that trivializes millennia of evil-perpetuating conditioning. Remember phrases like, "Might makes right", "Manifest Destiny", "survival of the fittest" (translation, survival of the wealthiest), and the loathsomely hypocritical "Divine Right".

Of course these sayings (and even laws) are merely the tip of the iceberg. The dungeon is elsewhere. It is deep within the infrastructure of the collective human mind. Do we know that it is infinitely unjust that the elites spend more money on their wardrobes than most of us spend on our families in an entire lifetime? Do we know it is evil when religious fanatics try to steal an entire country and turn the lives of the people who have been living there for centuries into a WW2 concentration camp?

One response to these questions could be that we're not sure if these things are evil, but almost certainly the world DOES know these things are filthy, evil, and infinitely unjust.

However, you can know things on the "surface" of your mind that you play games with in the depths of your mind. The tragedy is that the world basically turns the other way from these evils and injustices because in the depths of our conditioning we are historically programmed to accept them. Hence, it is the deep, collective mind set that permits and justifies evil. We know better, but our "unconscious" (to use that word) "accepts" evil because we have been programmed to adapt to it for millennia.

The literally unimaginable suffering that NECESSARILY goes with the existence of Greek God like elites would make Jesus weep, but we accept The Haves (the evil) – indeed, most of us probably envy them. This is the paradox of evil. If we didn’t “accept” evil, it couldn’t exist! But since literally billions of us DO accept evil that makes us an evil species.

This is not intellectualizing or empty theory. If the HUMAN RACE said no to “The Beast”, to the “Have’s”, to genocidal religious fanatics, to the Rockefeller’s, to the Rothschild’s, to the Bush’s, to murder in the name of God subhuman filth, to Saudi Princes, etc., etc., we could destroy them in a week. And I mean “non theoretically” destroy them in a week. Remove them from the planet as in cease to exist -- now you see them, now you don’t! There are times in life you must be limitlessly aggressive. We can either watch The Beast destroy Mother Nature and our children’s future, or WE can destroy the beast. Remember, we know exactly who they are and we know exactly where they are. So what in the name of truth, beauty, and goodness are we waiting for? Certainly not for the paper bullets of religion and politics. ULTIMATE hardball is the name of this game.

Hence, looked at one way, there is great hope. Looked at another way, it is hopeless.

It all comes down to how EACH OF US deals with a lifetime of conditioning. Liberation is transcending the box. The world IS the box.

So consensus reality (the home of evil) can be left. This is called being true to ourselves, or perhaps even Enlightenment.

However, as a species, the probability that we will leave the box in sufficient percentages to "eliminate" evil is probably very, very small.

Fortunately, even though our paralyzed and conditioned species continues to equate life with a moronically defective consensus mind set, each of us is still able to stretch our intelligence/spiritual eagle wings and leave this evil box forever.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: we're the dogs -- never the tails.

We are rapidly sliding back into Bush-Land.

2009-06-12T18:12:00.000-07:00

At the present rate, the dems will have given congress back to the pugs before the year is over.

Would that this were an exaggeration!

The dems are going belly up about everything -- just like the 2006 Congress of DLC/Clinton right wing traitors.

NOTHING radical or life and death is being addressed. Obama isn't the entire problem, since the dems are turning their backs on his agendas en masse. There are more guts in a paramecium than in the entire Democratic Congress.

So the Bush/Cheney world just keeps on trucking.

The Bankers continue to rape America with glee; the Texas energy companies continue to rape America with glee (here comes "clean coal"); the gaggle of Israeli right wing psychopaths continue to rape American Middle Eastern foreign policy with glee, and the Murdoch media still lies to the skies.

And Obama? Well, he talks and talks and talks . . .

If you didn't know better and have calendars and clocks, you would think Cheney is still God. He sure acts like he is still God.

If the dems had 90% of the congress and a president to boot, they would STILL find some way, some how, to give the country back to the pugs.

That's what they do. That's what they are. They have no identity other than people who sell the soul of America to the most loathsome filth on the planet.

But why? Why in God's name do the dems always GIVE the country to religious fanatics and astronomically rich elites?

Bottom line, there's only one thing dems do, and Obama is the quintessence of the dem soul. They talk, and talk, and talk, about things they would never do in a thousand years (hmmm, thousand year Reich?).

And the pugs KNOW this! They know this election was TOTALLY MEANINGLESS and the "The Beast" is still in absolute control of everything. They knew it before Obama was even "elected" (or appointed by Rahm Emanuel).

They also know the Chinese are right when they call us the United States of Israel, just as they know "clean coal" will be our next suicidal fossil fuel.

They also know America's middle class is on its way to oblivion (as in "camps"?).

But most of all they know our political system is the "crown of thorns" of America.

They fear ONE THING ONLY, and that is that a critical mass of apolitical activists will once and for all transcend politics and the power of the people (American and planetary) will manifest in forms that are grounded in the deep creativity of our species.

Obama = establishment politics = species extinction.

The social forces now at work on this planet have long since left the candy ass world of politics, "elections" (what a laugh!), and Bill Clintonism.

It's like some kind of sports competition that has exploded off the field into the spectators, the freeways, and the city in general.

Fantasy land is Obama is talking about “reality”. Yes, REALITY -- we must use that sun-sized word. Probably only two or three percent of the planet doesn't fully understand that the Earth is dominated by psychotic religious fanatics and multi-millionaire and multi-billionaire elites.

This is "The Beast"; these are "The Haves"; and they are the Gods and Goddesses of the Earth.

The quantum jump facing the human race is that AS A SPECIES we must realize that the Rockefeller's, Rothchild's, Paris Hilton's, and certifiably insane, murder in the name of God religious sociopaths have upped the ante far beyond status quo, establishment politics.

Obama is a fart in a hurricane. Politics IN ANY FORM is like eating ground glass.

If you cut through the smoke screen of The Beast (the Haves), what you see is as hideous as it is self evident to raw Home sapien intelligence.

What you see is total war between a handful of astronomically rich, religious psychopaths and the ENTIRE HUMAN SPECIES. We aren't fighting for our lives as a political party or even as a nation any more, and this is true for every country on the Earth. We are fighting for the survival of the human race!

Is this hyperbole? Is this over the top? Alas, in this battle for continued human existence, there isn't any top.

To say it as plainly as possible: A tiny percentage of murderous religious fools and vampire elites are literally driving the human race into extinction.

Hence the ultimate war on this planet is now between the human species and The Beast.

We could stop all this in one week if we bared our fangs -- no, even better, if we USED our fangs.

Or would you prefer systematic genocide of the working class, and "camps", bankruptcy, fossil fuel suicide, the trashing of science and education, BORing presidential babble, global warming, “inside job” atrocities like 9/11, and an American foreign policy TOTALLY under the control of vomitous religious right wing nut cases from another country?

We don't have to live like this you know. All it takes to change from a sheep to a tiger is a species quantum jump. Just imagine how fantastic it would feel to unsheathe our claws and shake the snow off the mountain tops with the roars of a profoundly endangered, but even more profoundly ENRAGED species.

All we need to destroy The Beast is the WILL to destroy the Beast. We are not slaves to elitist paper rules that corral us like cattle. We are the true dogs of human, social existence and everything else is merely a tail, and this includes every religion and social/financial institution on the planet. The Beast too exists only with our sufferance, and can be destroyed whenever it suits us.

Well, how about now? And destroy means destroy. Destroy means forget Obama’s impotent talk, and dem/pug political back room deals, and compromising with the devil, and selling pieces of our soul, and betraying our children’s future, and betraying Mother Nature, and being religious robots, and betraying our Constitutional heritage. You get the idea.

Destroy means DESTROY! Hey, these mentally ill religious fanatics and parasitical, multi millionaire and billionaire elites, and right wing, illiterate barbarians “started” this war, so let’s bloody well finish it with planet-wide ferocity! It’s time for ultimate hard ball. It’s time to stop betraying our Homo sapien birthright.

ps: Just a note to Beast types who may be wondering about odd sounds they are hearing more frequently during the night. Probably, they’re encroaching growls and snarls. Just thought you might want to know.

Obama is not now and never will be a hero; however, his status-quoism may catalyze a critical mass of American activists

2009-06-09T21:58:00.001-07:00

Obama is a heart-breaking disappointment. He's Mr. see no evil, hear no evil, and say no evil. If Rove was Bush's brain, Obama's brain is the DLC/Clinton/AIPAC.

What are a few things we have learned about Barack Obama? We know he will never hold anyone accountable for ANYTHING during the eight Bush/Cheney horror show years.

We know it's a near certainty he knows everything about the infinite treason of 9/ll (including our back stabbing Middle Eastern connection), but since his name is Barack Obama, we also know he will never do anything about it.

We know he seems to be indifferent to the non-stop corporate fossil fuel rape of Mother Nature. He continues to allow the beauty and cornucopia of the Goddess to be reduced to road kill by Texas (that's spelled: T-E-X-A-S) energy corporations, even though barnyard animals know this suicidal form of energy (along with "clean coal" -- give us a break), is a self evident money cow for vampire elites.

Sadly, the world is increasing looking at Obama as America's latest Ruling Class President and there goes our shot at credibility and honor.

Is he better than Cheney/Bush? Certainly, but so is a cockroach and a rock.

The problem isn't that he's Bush number two (there's only room for one anti-Christ per millennia), but that his special genius is to do the BARE MINIMUM to be "taken seriously" as a responsible American President.

However, there's a potential positive spinoff of Obama's Ruling Class status quoism.

His indifference to the core issues and necessities of our planet and country may be the straw that finally breaks the back of "The American Political Dream". And this dream (really a suicidal nightmare) is that "politics" is the ultimate social mechanism for radical national change.

No, no, no, no, no. "Politics" is a game invented by and for the Ruling Class -- the same gaggle of billionaires and religious fanatics who engineered Obama's election in the first place. Ironically, it would have been much harder to manipulate McCain.

Probably some of the above is open to debate, but what is NOT open to debate is Obama's record to date. Sure, there are a few good things here and there, but it would be an exaggeration to say he has committed to even 10% of what he promised OVER AND OVER AGAIN during the campaign -- and lies are lies are lies.

Is this being negative? Not really. Facts are facts and Obama is going to be the kiss of death for America if he continues to be afraid to even rock bathtub boats.

In essence, Obama is turning out to be a nothing. He's no hero and he's no devil. He's just a nothing.

But this is 2009 and a "nothing" president is political death.

The simple truth is that America and much of the planet is literally going down for the third time. The "Have's" clearly plan to turn the Earth into a handful of Kings and Queens and around 6 billion human cattle. Genocide is rampant and the middle class is going, going, gone.

So the bottom line is what? The bottom line is the realistic possibility that the more Americans discover that the eight Bush/Cheney anti-American years are now going to be followed by four (?) years of an "establishment president" who will do the absolute minimum to save our desperately wounded country and planetary ecosystems, is the more America will mutate a critical mass of apolitical activists.

In short, it just might turn out that Obama's obedient passivity will "create the space" for politics-transcending power of the people.

One thing's for sure. The only way America will ever be saved by a hero, is if WE ARE the heroes!

*******************************************************************

W. Christopher Epler (Bill)

Addendum: Are these views premature? Are we jumping the gun here? Should Obama be given more time? Difficult questions to be sure, but that’s not the issue.

The issue is that Republican fascists combined with Israeli right wing psychopaths to gouge EIGHT YEARS out of our Constitutional Republic. Think about it. They flushed eight years of American history down their toilet to hell.

Meaning? Meaning we’ve got some hard core catching up to do and we simply don’t have the time and luxury to putz around for four more years to wait for Obama to do something (anything!) radical. Maybe eventually his conscience and rationality will catch up to him, but that’s his problem. He’s no longer in the equation.

When your house (e.g., country and planet) is on fire, you ACT! Status quoism is suicide in a life and death crisis and if there’s ever been a time in American and Earth history that the absolute and utter destruction of everything we love, need, and honor is a mere heartbeat away -- that time is NOW. This, as they say, is It.

And Barack Obama? Well, “fiddling while Rome burns” comes to mind . . .

Will Barack Obama please get off the 9/11 fence?

2009-06-09T19:26:00.000-07:00

In a recent speech, Obama tarred al Qaeda with the 9/11 brush. And yet he's Mr. Slippery Shoes when it comes to the national/international inside job scenario.

There is no better barometer of the degree to which Obama has been bought, than how he comes down on 9/11 (same thing for Rahm Emanuel since it’s far more likely Obama was his appointment, than visa versa).

Alas, it looks like he's going to be a mouthpiece for Dick Cheney and company, who contextualize 9/11 at being at worst some minor state department ineptitude, but otherwise an atrocity totally independent of Bush/Cheney fascists and their opposite numbers in Israel.

To the question of, "What American political party and Middle Eastern ally BENEFITTED from 9/ll?" his answer seems to be . . .

And speaking of non-answers, Obama's penchant to coining empty, romantic generalizations is becoming physically painful. Does this man even know how to spell words like: ACTION and DECISION?

The pugs like to criticize the dems (i.e., closet pug) for "throwing money at things". Well, Obama's Presidential M.O. is that he throws "words" at things.

He's done at most 10% of what the promised over and over again he would do in the primaries, but he's inundated us with compensatory "speeches". Man, does this guy ever like decorated generalizations!

But he can't gas bag 9/11 forever. And if he does 100% support the Bush/Cheney version of the infinite treason of 9/11, we will know with absolute certainly that Obama is a tentacle of The Beast.

He's also Mr. Waffle on Iraq. In one breath he says we should never have preemptively invaded Iraq, and yet in his next impotent pronouncement he implies that 9/11 was our justification for basically doing ANYTHING to the Islamic world.

In our wounded and virtually dying country (which is still 90 plus percent under to domination of Bush/Cheney policies!), Obama fiddles while Rome burns.

That sense of life and death urgency that human ecosystems of humanity are going, going, gone; and the rags of our economy continue to disappear down the ravenous throats of Wall Street, Mother-Nature-raping energy companies, and banks from hell; and elaborately contrived the Middle Eastern wars (now OBAMA'S wars) continue to be money cows for the Ruling Class, and that billionaire, Israeli murder in the name of God, religious psychopaths and their genocidal right wing continue to dictate American Middle Eastern policy (as they have done via the AIPAC for decades), seems to be utterly wasted on Obama.

He's like a guy in a burning house who wants everyone to listen to twenty more gaseous generalizations as the last opening to safety rapidly turns into a wall of flames.

Obama's handful of politically correct decisions are not to be ignored (fair is fair), but it's what he's NOT doing that's tragically more important, e.g.

(1.) dealing with 9/ll -- except with more lies to the skies

(2.) instituting accountably for the last eight Bush/Cheney horror show years (torture comes to mind).

(3.) stopping wars (his general’s say no end in sight)

(4.) ceasing to cheer on the fossil fuel rape of Mother Nature.

(5.) liberating the United States of America from what China has called the United States of Israel

(6.) and much, much more.

If we go back to the burning theater analogy, who gives a rat's derriere about his BORing speeches and bone-throwing politics, if he continues to ignore and even actively tries to explain away the LIFE AND DEATH ISSUES that face our planet and country?

A thousand pities, but more and more it appears that he's not doing anything substantive and life saving, because the Haves elected him precisely NOT to do anything substantive and life saving.

I wonder how it feels to betray your own species?

For the thousandth time we see that politics is part of the problem not the solution. The solution is a critical mass of apolitical activists. Civilization demands radically new mechanisms for social transformation. Clinging to establishment politics is like clinging to a suicidally dysfunctional “family or origin”. Survival = cutting the cord. There are no other options.

Extinction or transcendence – always the cutting edge of evolution.

But transcendence is what? The inevitable question. Joseph Campbell quotes Sir Gawain in one of the 12^th Century sublime Holy Grail legends as saying, “When we seek the grail (the cup of Christ), we should go into the forest alone, not as a group, where it is darkest and where there is no path -- the essence wisdom of the western world. Note, no gurus!

The 20^th Century philosopher/mystic, J Krishnamurti put it like this, “Truth is a pathless land.”

Politics is a path, a formula, a dogma. Mankind must now leave such toys and save ourselves and our mystically beautiful planet. Obama is the past, the dead.

The human race is a self-creating miracle.

America's core unfinished business: Elite Assassinations, Wars, and Depressions.

2009-04-09T21:01:00.000-07:00

America's unfinished business: The Great Depression (elite engineered?), Kennedy/King assassinations, Gulf of Tonkin lie, 9/11, and our SECOND engineered Depression, etc.

Of course, and alas, there's more. Remember names like Henry Kissinger (even more evil than Dick Cheney if you measure evil by the number of people you directly or indirectly murder -- plus whose first loyalties were NEVER to the United States of America).

Many of our young people don't realize that the Viet Nam War was "justified" by a TOTALLY DOCUMENTED LIE having to do with the Gulf of Tonkin. Reminds you of Bush's State of the Nation lies to "justify" his preemptive invasion of Iraq, doesn't it?

God how these fascist elites can lie!

The near certain assassination of courageous Senator Paul Wellstone is more unfinished business. Dear God, this man lived in Minnesota and he doesn't know how to fly in a snowstorm? Duh. And to make sure his voice was permanently silenced, most of his family was assassinated as well. And oh yes, his death gave the Senate to the fascist pugs which was critical for making dufus George the King of America.

God how these fascist elites can murder!

Evidence is now emerging that America's "Great Depression" was ALSO engineered. Here's just one quote, but when you pull it the fascist/elite propaganda tapestry rapidly unravels:

"(The Great Depression resulting from the Stock Market crash) was not accidental. It was a carefully contrived occurrence....The international bankers sought to bring about a condition of despair here so they might emerge as rulers of us all." Louis McFadden (1876-1936) US Congressman (R-PA) (1915-1935), Chairman of House Banking and Currency Committee -- who was poisoned in 1936.

Please note the unique financial position of this man and that he was speaking from his erudition and conscience, not the “Republican line” and we should honor his memory as we acknowledge his assassination.

Of course there’s no question of the Kennedy assassinations (both President JFK and Bobby) and the blatantly “political” assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King. The only question is who orchestrated those infamous murders and why. I think by now we can make a very educated guess, don’t you?

Have you noticed how often we keep using the “assassination” word? That’s how the rest of the world sees us. They know (often better than we do from their “outside in” perspective) that American is 100% a Dictatorship or the Rich and that the “elites” (formerly the “aristocracy” of Kings and Queens) want working class Americans to be cattle or corpses.

However, speaking of the rest of the world (especially the Orient) they’re getting colossally pissed off that America’s elite greed and retarded religious fanatics are steadily and VERY RAPIDLY trashing human Civilization and the necessary planetary conditions for the continued existence of human beings. And we are now receiving very specific warnings that if we don’t deal with the fascist elites, the rest of the planet will do an “intervention” on us, since they have NO intention of continuing to sit by while American elites destroy all the national economies of the Earth and the very life and death ecosystems of our species.

In short, we have been warned and would do well to heed it.

The simple truth is that the human community can no longer afford the luxury of multi millionaires and multi billionionaires, ESPECIALLY that ultimately lethal combination of astronomically rich murder in the name of God religious fundamentalists

Here’s another way to say this. George W. Bush pushed the envelope of vampire greed and kill-a Muslim-for-Christ religious fanaticism much, much too far. His pinhead brain thought he really was King of the Earth and that he had the “divine right” to rob and murder limitlessly -- which is exactly what he did, much to the worry of the “wiser” elites who knew their existence utterly depended on continued and utmost secrecy. Organizations like the “Illuminati” are now unwillingly “going public” and that’s win/win for us all, since this collective virtual anti-Christ can of worms has been controlling human existence beyond our wildest dreams (or nightmares) for millennia.

But if there’s a God, He/She gave us the internet against which the Greek God like elites are defenseless. But is this really the case? Well, think of it like this. If and when a critical mass of Americans (or more probably humans in general since the elites are national/international), REALLY GETS THE MESSAGE that less than one percent of the human race has been manipulating the human condition like literal Gods and Goddesses for millennia, and that this less than one percent has NEARLY ALL OF THE WEALTH OF THE PLANET and is very probably committing systematic genocide even in America to wean down the population to the size they want (the word is they are working to get rid of two billions of us – think Africa and “aids”, think New Orleans, think unregulated poisonous meat, think unregulated pharmaceutical giants, etc.), then it is simply a matter of numbers before this collective knowledge will catalyze a titanic explosion of rage that will be heard on the outer planets.

However, the point of this piece is not the arguable inevitability of literally indescribable human violence once the elites lose their force field of secrecy, but a listing of a few core examples of America’s profoundly unfinished business.

In short, America’s skeletons are FINALLY clattering out of the closets, and ironically this is almost certainly due to the pathological religious fanaticism and greed vampire excesses of George W. Bush who pushed the elite envelope of secrecy beyond the point of breaking.

So just as Sarah Palin’s grotesque “biker policies” significantly helped to break the back of McCain’s presidential campaign, so may the blatantly public, sociopathic atrocities of Georgie Porgie break the back of humanity’s satanic elites.

Time to finish our unfinished business once and for all. Time to apolitically DEAL WITH the elites (remember “politics” is a lose/lose game invented by and for the elites).

Time for the re-birth of America.

The ultimate conflict of human existence: Wisdom vs. The Beast

2009-04-09T20:53:00.000-07:00

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be (?): Wisdom vs. The beast.

Notice, it's not institutional religion or establishment politics vs. The Beast, since both are egregiously more part of the problem than the solution.

No, the human species needs something incalculably more profound than murder in the name of God religions or political puppets of the elites to deal with The Beast.

First, let's define our terms. "The Beast" is a composite of mentally ill religious fanatics, the barbarian lunatic right wing fringe of every country on the Earth, and parasitical, vampire elites.

In short, The Beast is humanity at its worst.

Conversely, humanity at its best is incarnate wisdom.

And wisdom is what? Lot's of answers to this, but here's two good ones. Wisdom is what transcends human delusion. Another (and equivalent) definition is that wisdom is "being in touch with reality".

One wonders if this "battle of principalities" is in some sense hard wired into the cutting edge of evolution. Or more specifically, is this conflict an inevitable rite of passage for any "advanced species? Of course, here we can only speculate since each life form (extraterrestrial or otherwise) evokes their own unique reality and survival challenges.

Naturally, there are far too many aspects of this conflict than can be explored in a short paper, but let's examine a few of them.

First, please notice that things like evil are less "defeated" by wisdom than "precluded" by it. In short, where wisdom reigns, evil is simply absent. "Warring" with evil is a secondary phenomenon and a symptom that collective wisdom is fragile and impotent.

Another way to say this is that "moral imperatives" are a kind of holding action to compensate for the relative absence of wisdom. No one lives by "should's" when their lives are grounded in wisdom. Where morality is King, evil too is usually King. Only defective life forms obsess about morality.

The same is even truer for the "stupidity" explanation of human chaos or misery. This mutual exclusion is more obvious since authentic wisdom is necessarily consummated intelligence. Indeed, wisdom and intelligence are virtually synonyms -- even though intelligence can "specialize" itself away from wisdom.

This is why science, for all it value and challenge, does not now and never has been a force for wisdom.

"Transcendence" however, is symptom of wisdom, since it can mean transcending the collective human mind set. Said differently, it’s transcending the arbitrary and socially conditioned mind set of our species. This is approximately what the Hindu/Buddhist tradition calls "Maya" (the world illusion). Another turn of phrase is "consensus reality", since it's the "unexamined living our lives from place" for around six billion Homo sapiens.

Notice again this doesn’t have to conflict with the responsible explorations of science, even though wisdom is grounded in profoundly different dimensions.

The First Noble Truth of the Buddha (perhaps somewhat arbitrarily assigned to him after his death) is that life is Dukha, and dealing with Dukha is where wisdom begins. Dukha basically means anguish or suffering; thus for the Buddha, beginning where you are, means beginning with anguish and suffering.

However, before jumping to the conclusion that this is too much "doom and gloom", we should stay open to the possibility that this is indeed the bottom line human existence if we have to courage to be absolutely realistic.

In any case (leaving out vast intermediary dynamics), his Fourth (and last) Noble Truth is that coming to terms with Dukah (or Samsara -- basically vicious circle living), is a sublime transcendence called Nirvana (one root meaning of which is the blowing out of the ego/personality flame).

The catch 22 in all of this is that ONLY to the degree we dare to begin were we are (i.e., Dukha) is the consummated 4th Noble Truth of Liberation possible.

In short, things like repression, avoidance, denial don't merely keep us in the box or cage of human chaos or misery; THEY ARE THE CAGE/BOX of human chaos or misery. They are the "walls" of our prison which exist only to the degree we are slaves to fear.

Of course, a tragically predictable and simplistic response to the above is to discount it as mere intellectualizing and "impractical" theory. But this is the same strategy of trying to repress death. "Oh, it's nothing to be concerned about since I am the only life form in this galaxy who/what has solved the problem of death."

Oh really? Thinking that means believing the repression of death is the same as "eliminating" death, but this is merely the most common philosophical psychosis of our species.

No, our lives are grounded in a Himalayan Mountain range of repression, denial, and fear, and to the precise degree this is the case, NOTHING of ultimate value or liberation is possible for the human race.

A sort of final example of how this wisdom journey his it’s own "spiritual process", is the following way of experiencing Nirvana. However, this potential consummation for almost every human being alive is NOT a "consummation devoutly to be wished" (kudos to Shakespeare). Rather, it will probably sound like the ultimate fear, the ultimate failure, and a fate worse than death -- even though it is just such fearful thinking that traps us in Dukha.

So, here's a glimpse of the end of the wisdom journey:

It's not that the dreamer finally wakes up from the dream (e.g., the world illusion); rather, it's that SOMETHING MORE REAL THAN THE DREAMER wakes up from the dreamer.

Said differently, it's not that "I's", "you's", "me's", and "we's" are the problem solvers. Rather it's that "I's", "you's", "me's", and "we's" ARE the problem.

And an "advanced species" that doesn't in some sense collectively KNOW this, is doomed to act out delusion, i.e., become extinct.

So, immediately behind business as usual human chaos and misery (e.g., murder-in-the-name-of-God genocide, spirit and health crushing poverty, the Have and Have Not hell on Earth, etc., etc.), is The Beast. But The Beast is only made possible by the core, projected fears of billions of human beings.

Will we humans get through this rite of passage and find the courage and intelligence to stop "projecting" our own terrors and cowardice? In short, as a species (not just a few rare individuals) will we "wake up" in time to avoid the cosmic waterfall of extinction?

CAN this be done? Ironically, the answer is yes, yes, and yes, since the perennial paradox is that the more profound the truth, the more it is self evident. In short, an ultimate challenge is looking each of us directly in the eye as we speak. Indeed, it never ceases to do this.

All we have to do is make eye contact with the real. From this comes everything. From not doing this comes nothing.

So, forget the future. Forget the strategies and "means to an end". Things like religion and politics are so irrelevant we don't even have words for the absoluteness of their irrelevance.

The heart/soul of it all is that ultimate realness is where we already are. An exquisite, ancient Chinese intuition for Nature (tzu-jan) is “that which is so of itself”. Thus, living is the of itself so-ing of that which is so of itself. This is the thought-transcending perfection of spontaneous immediacy and no “higher powers” or “separate selves” need apply, since spontaneous immediacy is the “being myself” of ultimate realness.

Whether it’s said in Pali, Sanskrit, Chinese, or Tibetan, the equation is: Nowing = Selfing = Realitying. This realization is vaster than delusion, transcendent to death, and infinitely more real than the resigned, groveling existence of most of the entire human race.

********************************************************************************

ps: To discount the above as merely conceptual theorizing or impractical intellectualizing is like spending your entire life “killing time” in a filthy, lonely cage . . . with one wall permanently open. The alternative is whistling in a dark that’s not listening.

It's finally obvious the banks of America ARE America

2009-04-09T20:50:00.000-07:00

Behind the financial labyrinth of America's broken economy are banks, banks, and banks.

Have you had the interest on your bank credit cards doubled yet? Well, that letter is probably in the mail.

Now let's get this straight. Banks are in dire straits because of the stupidity and infinite greed of the bankers, but we're supposed to "rescue" them with an unending progression of "bail outs" (continuing with tough talking, but mouse acting President Obama).

Wow, is that a win/win business or what? Do whatever you like; mislead, lie, and effectively steal TRILLIONS from working class Americans, but when you get into trouble, turn to those same working class Americans (taxes!) for bailouts . . . and bailouts . . . and bailouts. It never ends. Banks are bailout machines. That's their life blood. Well, really it's "our" lifeblood since banks are like financial vampires plugged into all of our necks.

But of course even bailouts aren't enough to keep the most defective businesses on the planet afloat. Ergo, INTEREST RATES. Banks are gouging even their best customers for more and more interest on their kiss of death credit cards.

You want to commit financial suicide? Hey, just take out a credit card from a Vampire Bank. In due course (actually, very quickly) they'll manipulate you up to an interest rate you'll be trying to pay down ten years after your dead.

But bail outs and credit cards are just two ways the banks of America (e.g., Bank of America) have radically helped to destroy the American economy.

And with a different cast of characters and different vicious strategies, it's increasingly obvious the banks of America ARE America.

Who, more than any other aspect of American society, does President Obama handle with kid gloves? No, it's not even Wall Street. It's limitlessly rich and certainly limitlessly powerful banks.

How ironic that these Midas ghouls and paper shuffling wimps are exactly the people and institutions the MOST distant from the real world of working class Americans.

Hey, its non stop play time at the bank. Doesn't anyone ever have to "lift" anything or "repair" anything or "invent" anything? Do they ever have to DO anything -- but paper shuffle?

No, they live in a surreal paper reality of money, contracts, and (most of all!) debts. And we should never confuse this play time money with authentic "wealth". Wealth is the real thing. It's our national resources, the labor or millions, and the passion of entrepreneurs. Its water and the cornucopia of the Earth. In short, wealth is "real", but paper money is just numbers on a page or a wad of elaborately constructed paper rectangles you can’t even eat.

But bankers have hypnotized us into thinking this is exactly backwards, i.e., MONEY is what's real, and all the other "stuff" (including the planet and our labor of a lifetime) is fundamentally irrelevant. Reality for them stops at the doors of the bank and whatever is "outside" (for openers, the human race) has only a symbolic reality.

Banks see each of us the way our genes see us, i.e., we're just "hosts" for the passage of something. But the money game works only because banks are the virtual Gods of human existence. All that paper shuffling (and cash shuffling) is the "reality" behind the "appearance" of the lives of your children, the Himalaya's, the solar system, and even death itself.

But how did all this literal insanity happen? Of course it evolved over millennia (most recently, in the Italian city states during the Middle Ages), but it is now the abstract paradigm in which the human species is seemingly hopelessly ensnared.

Lastly, to put all this more writ large, consider the following observation and question.

(1) Naturally, talking about banks means we're talking about the elites (aka, the "Have's"). So banks are an effective synonym of the elites because banks are the lovingly constructed sledge hammers the elites are holding over all of us; and

(2) What countries or cultures come to mind when you think of banks and/or money, money, money people, because these countries and cultures are the ultimate jailers of human existence. You show me a vampire elite and I'll show you a thousand people who are staked to the money game for the rest of their lives.

The money game is evil and the people who dominate the money game are evil. And banks are the nauseating face of the money game.

Again, please, please keep asking yourself what countries and cultures are historically identified with this incalculably evil money game, because these are the countries and cultures who have tricked and wormed their way into the very heart of human existence. And where the money game rules, there is no creativity, compassion, humanity, or joy -- just vermin money changers.

So, money, banks, elites, and the cultures and countries thereof are death itself. Banks are the institutions of death and these countries are the countries of death and these cultures are the cultures of death.

Let's see, what was it that Jesus did to the "money changers" in the temple? Something about scourging them out of the temple (the Spiritual Sanctuary) wasn't it?

All this insanity and evil is usually so far behind the scenes its virtually invisible, but when you get your notice in the mail about how your credit card interest rate is going through the roof, or when you hear about the next bank bail out (how many now -- I've lost track), or the next time you're reminded that country X and/or culture Y is a putrescence of murder in the name of God billionaire psychopaths, these may well be our final warnings that cash-register-souled money changers (and we all know exactly who they are) are now openly pushing the human species into extinction.

Look, our planet is on fire, our country is on fire, and we have an Obama/Clinton/AIPAC Presidency!

2009-04-09T20:42:00.001-07:00

The same Bill Clinton jackasses who set up the financial infrastructure that destroyed our economy in the first place (with colossal help from eight years of psycho/greed Republicans) are the same jackasses Obama has appointed to "fix" the economy. Duh. No, double Duh. Does this mean Obama is stupid or does this mean he has sold out to the DLC? Or both.

It sure didn't take 100 days to find out that American foreign policy in the Middle East is STILL dictated by the Israeli lunatic fringe right wing. And the Israeli lunatic fringe right wing is about as lunatic as it's humanly possible to get! Even going back to Ben Gurion, it was made crystal clear the ultimate goal of these gaggingly righteous religious fanatics was the theft of THE ENTIRE STATE OF PALESTINE.

And what about "accountability"? A subject all the polls indicate the American people feel just as passionately about as the total destruction of the American economy by the DLC Clinton right wing machine.

Gee, is Obama going to hold ANYBODY accountable for ANYTHING? Not just car company CEO's but THE BANKS (who now “are” America), the anti-Christ Dick Cheney (hey, the shoe fits) and pinhead George. Remember these two monsters are directly responsible for the deaths of HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of people -- children included. But nicy nice Barack is going to do . . . what? "Chide" them in his politically correct, abstract speeches.

But most of all, does anybody get it that the life and death ecosystems of human existence have already basically ceased to exist? What's over the horizon is too hideous to contemplate. Massively expanding ozone holes, new breeds of over the top hurricanes, global warming which is turning into global "baking", a probable oncoming magnetic shift of the poles which will leave the Earth radiation-defenseless for possibly hundreds of years, the agonizing destruction of sacred rain forests to keep the United States loaded with mountains of hamburgers, the suicidal pollution of not only America's rivers and lakes, but all the oceans of the planet (mostly by the good ol' US of A -- and the rest of the planet bloody well knows it!), 100% unregulated food and medicine (is there “dirt” in those capsules?), totally dismantled environmental protections, etc., etc., etc.

The tragedy is not only that Homo sapiens are committing suicide as a species; it's that we're also dragging thousands of other life forms with us.

But Obama gives speeches. Yeah, that helps.

The point isn't that Obama isn’t doing anything. The point is that Obama is doing 10% of what DESPERATELY must be done, but "spinning" that 10% into 90%.

No, no, President Obama. Read our lips. You are doing TEN percent, not NINETY percent. That too complicated for you? Hey, don't worry about it. Just give another vacuous speech. You're good at that. See, the problem is that you’re not DOING anything radical to save our country and planet.

But back to the image in the title: Our country and planet is "on fire" and we can't afford some nonsensical "100 days” to judge the morality and rationality of this administration.

The jury is already in and you're coming up as a heart breaking disappointment. We hoped for at least a writ small version of FDR, but what we're getting is a Clinton clone. What we're getting is another pain in the derriere "politician" who’s not going to upset the big boys so he can have a second term. Ugh.

But, Obama, "the house is on fire"? Are you in a coma? If it was the personal home of any one of us, what would we do? Would we wait a hundred days before we called the fire department? Would we talk to the "gang" that set the house on fire to put it out? Would we ask some genocidal Middle Eastern thieves what neighbors we should attack while the house was burning?

NO!!! We would ACT. We wouldn't give BORing politically correct "speeches" -- we would ACT. And would we tell our spouse and children that we were giving 90% to save our home, while we were so intimidated and secretive about the local "God Father's" that we were really only committing ten percent?

OBAMA IS FAILING. He's not the man he promised to be. Practically EVERYTHING he's doing is "political" and cowardly.

Lastly, keep in mind that our evidence isn't only these last two months, it's also the gaggle of Clinton losers he's appointed to deal with the economy, his pathetic and humiliating submission to the AIPAC, and his day one appointment of a chief of staff who has a documented record of total hatred for Palestinians.

If the Earth and American houses were NOT on fire, perhaps we could be more permissive and even wait (which is still silly) the "hundred days" before extrapolating the future. But we don't have that luxury. The Earth doesn't have that luxury and the rags of what's left of our Constitutional Republic doesn't have that luxury. And you know what, the REST OF THE PLANET isn't going to GIVE US that luxury because they know full well the primary home of The Beast (mentally ill religious fanatics; parasitical, vampire elites; and the barbarian lunatic right wing) is the United States of America -- as the last eight horror show years abundantly prove.

So, where does this leave us? It leaves us with the brutal realism that "putting out the fire" isn't going to come from this status quo President. Maybe the Congress (for a change), but definitely NOT Barack Obama (he still hasn’t “earned” a Presidential title).

So just like the George W. Bush horror show years, the core dynamics of social, biological change are going to have to come from us. The people. You and me and our neighbors -- including internet neighbors.

Is Obama a hopeless case with his "political" ten percent masquerading as ninety percent? Well (to extend the fire analogy) if we KEEP HIS FEET TO THE FIRE maybe he'll be the patriotic American he pretended to be in the primaries. Maybe he'll have a change of heart and conscience and fundamentally deal with the fire, i.e., deal with The Beast.

But for now, it's thumbs down and no mistake. Sad but true, so as per usual the buck stops with us. For the moment at least, we need to ignore Obama and concentrate on the Congress and the Will of the People (i.e., apolitical strategies).

One thing is certain. You don't putz around and talk a lot of smiley, smug talk when your home is on fire. And you don’t squander your integrity and credibility by sucking up to elitist Bill Clinton and the The United States of the Israel (the Chinese name for America).

Oh FDR, FDR, if only we could resurrect you . . .

Why is Obama giving a green light to bailed-out-banks to credit card rape "lower class" Americans?

2009-04-09T20:39:00.000-07:00

(1.) First, American banks (e.g., Bank of America!) are bleeding Americans dry to "bail them out" from their greed/stupidity policies.

(2.) Now, adding insult to injury (or "double dipping") these same virulently anti Democracy banks are gouging even their best customers with dramatically escalating interest rates. Many (most?) bank cards rates are now well into the twenties and any loan with such astronomical interest can NEVER be repaid, even if you keep making payments twenty years after you're in box city.

And Obama is doing what?

Maybe we should say that again. And Obama is doing what?

Hey, Mr. President, how come your memory is so short when it comes to prioritizing the "lower classes”? You see, millions of us wonder why you're effectively encouraging this credit card rape. You know, most of us already have enough grief on our financial plates without this quasi legal theft. Because of the categorical support of President Obama, we probably can't even defend ourselves with class action suits.

But do the math Mr. President (can you do the math?) and you'll see that if everyone goes along with this high robbery, the extra interest coming into the banks will be in the BILLIONS. Or if you think about several banks, it will probably be in the trillions.

But, but, but . . . haven't we already given them most of the farm? Do we also have to give them the 3 ducks and 5 cows we have left? Is there no LIMIT to their Rothschild greed?

The "bank thing" is at the core of what's rotten in America, since they are the public mechanisms that keep one or two percent of American citizens (i.e., the elites -- aka, the "Haves") living like literal Greek Gods and all the rest of us living like human cattle . . . on the way to the slaughter house. And the slaughter house has many forms: money cow oil wars, systematic genocide of the "lower classes" by the elites, the theft our health plans and retirements, and on and on. It's no fun to be a Homo sapien cow in a country of vampire elites.

And it’s no fun to be in a country that has a speechifying President (BORing!) who seems to be in a coma while bailed out banks gang bang working Americans.

Indeed, "banks" are the very essence of the stupidity of confusing symbol with reality. Reality is the Earth, it's loving each other, it's a lifetime of LABOR, and it's spiritual to the core (which doesn't have to be "religious" -- totally another matter), its children, and its death. You get the idea.

But banks don't see it that way. For them all that jazz is merely a "symbol". It's abstract irrelevance and at best cannon fodder for the money game war.

For banks, reality is those little rectangular pieces of green paper, columns of numbers, and most of all DEBTS. Yes, most of all debts because that's what the money game is fundamentally all about. It's exquisitely designed to keep us broken with debt, while the elites have affairs on a whim in their country of choice, have so many cars some of them are never driven, have at least two mansions, never do one day of real work in their entire life, and sneer at 99% of the human race with limitless contempt. And oh, yes they are also systematically committing planet wide genocide because they think the Earth has an excess of around two billion human cattle (or is it cattle humans?).

Think about it, human existence (thanks to the weapons of the elites, i.e., banks), is a vast paper game that is totally abstract, totally "out of touch with reality, and totally evil.

The bank game, the money game, the elite game, has one purpose only. It's all about power and greed. But somehow it has so infected the human race with delusion, that eventually we'll have to pay to breathe; we'll have to pay to have sex with our spouses or significant others (i.e., pay the Rockefeller's, Saudi Princes, and Murdoch's); we'll have to pay to look at a beautiful sunset; we'll have to pay for the right to get up in the morning -- hell, eventually we'll have to pay to brush our teeth. After all, Paris Hilton has to have a few hundred grand for a new wardrobe every month or two and the Royal Bush Family needs to be frozen for as long as it takes for them to be unthawed as brand new hominids in a science fiction future (actually, the freezing part is rather appealing -- just so long as they don't start to rot).

The one good thing about contemporary events is that it’s now totally obvious that the core mechanism of “The Have’s” is banks, banks, and banks.

Lastly, it would behoove us to examine very closely the families, cultures, and countries that are now and have historically been most associated with the bank/money game. Who are these people, who are these cultures and countries who have over the centuries most perfected the bank/money game into the straight from hell filth that has poisoned the very heart of human existence.

At least now we know where to look. The bank/money game (really war!) is a public manifestation that points very precisely to specific families, cultures, and countries.

And where the bank/money game flourishes, certifiable psychosis is god and hate (usually self-righteously "religious") is the ultimate currency of our tragically vulnerable species.

And Barack who?

Something new is "coming into form" in America transcending the political game invented by and for the elites

2009-03-17T16:48:00.000-07:00

Obama is 100% defined by the political game. WITHIN this game, the jury is still out, but he seems to be desperately trying to make the best of a bad situation. That is to say, the FUNDAMENTAL political game rules have been defined by and for the elites and since he is the ultimate symbolic politician (the President) he must move within these lose/lose rules. Conversely, these same game rules absolutely guarantee an endless Greek God like existence for that less than one percent of America's parasitical elites.

It's as if he's stuck in a failed marriage, but since he loves his children, his only course is to make the best of a bad situation -- and Godspeed to his efforts.

Hence, the core challenge of America (and the entire planet!) is to GO BEYOND THE GAME RULES OF POLITICS. Politicians can still be pragmatic and useful, but only to the degree we return them to political "servants" of the will of the people, and not the bought and paid for puppets of the elites (also known as "The Beast").

To say it abstractly, we need a "paradigm shift" comparable to changing from geocentrism (the Earth is the center of everything) to at least heliocentrism (the Sun is the center of the solar system). Even better, we need to "quantum jump" (an equivalent image) like Darwin's Origin of the Species or Einstein's transcendental insights which left the bog of 19 Century physics and contractions to his two magnificent theories of relativity.

Forgive me, if I use an image I have used in earlier pieces, but our challenge is not merely to reshuffle the deck (of politics); rather we need to kick over the card table and leave the room. WE NEED A RADICALLY NEW MECHANISM OF SOCIAL CHANGE.

Politics, even at its best (which is never a threat to the Beast) is forever more part of the problem, than the solution. Indeed, even at is best, it is still simply running in place. Politics IS the status quo, not a medicine "for" the status quo. Remember the essence is fascism is status quo-ism, and the elites love to watch us gnawing on the bones and crusts they throw us. And how they must enjoy our pitiful delusion that politics is actually an expression of the will of the people.

So politics for pragmatics, but not for dealing with the ultimate challenge of civilization, i.e., DESTROYING THE BEAST (of mentally ill religious fanatics and/or the lunatic right wing fringe of every country on the Earth and/or UNIMAGINABLY rich elites, aka the Haves).

Be honest. Do you see any "microscopic" change in the Beast, even over the last several centuries? None, zip, zero, nada. The Beast is rapidly killing human civilization and even the human species, while we play this game of marbles called politics.

It's like we've got cancer or aids and we think we are substantively "treating it" with vitamin C, or drinking more milk, or (worst of all!) pretending its not there.

But the cancer or aides IS THERE and, to leave the image, it's been there for literally thousands of years. Call it "The Have’s", or The Beast, or the Rockefeller's, Rothschild’s, Murdoch's, and Paris Hilton's, or call it the God of the Earth. Yes, most of all call The Beast the God of the Earth because that says it to perfection.

And yet we suck our thumbs and shoot political paper bullets at the Beast. The insanity and futility of this almost "justifies" our peasant/peon/slave existence. Who was it who said a slave is someone who waits for someone else to free them. Or to paraphrase the words of the mystic J. Krishnamurti, politics AT ITS BEST is "decorating our cage".

Alas, the challenge here almost transcends being put into words, because there will always be that "slave conditioning" which keeps trying to hear it as just a new variation of "politics".

But it isn't. It's talking about a NEW DIMENSION, like the 4th dimension when compared to the familiar three of horizontal, vertical, and depth.

So what are we groping for? Is this a paradigm shift of consciousness? Almost certainly yes, but also almost certainly no, because without a corresponding dimensional change in "how we live", and "how we ACT", the inner transcendence will be betrayed.

Conversely, this can't be only some breakthrough of apolitical strategy, even though that too MUST be there.

Hence, it's clearly a both/and of a virtual "mystical transformation" all of a piece with radically new ways to manipulate the "fulcrums" of social transformation. Archimedes’s (probably the ultimate genius of the ancient Greek world) once said, "Give me a long enough lever, and I'll move the Earth".

That's what these radically new strategies would be: discovering the fulcrums for the levers to fundamentally "change human social existence".

This is seeing through a glass darkly, but surly we need to "go international" and use the internet a thousand times more effectively than we currently are.

Certain patterns of mental illness are characterized by variations of what Sigmund Freud called "the repetition compulsion". This is related to words like obsession and compulsion and it more or less means spending your life trying to solve impossible (and usually meaningless) problems.

For us, this means playing the political game endlessly, hoping that "somehow" this game will be Democracy in action. But it never, never is and never, never will be. It's our society-wide "repetition compulsion"; it's like those heartbreaking bears in zoo cages who keep walking and hurrying in circles, mindlessly thinking they will "eventually" find a way out back to the wilderness. What an agony it is to watch them; and what an agony it is to what US "trying to wash off blood with blood" -- in the infinitely wise words of an ancient Chinese Zen Master.

However, if a critical mass of us AT LEAST realize that politics endlessly recycles The Beast (i.e., less than one percent of the human race) while it endlessly stifles the potential and fundamentally enslaves the "working class" (still, probably the best way to say it), anything is possible. After all, seeing all the way through what NOT to do is often is equivalent to seeing "the way out". Plus it’s hard to be creative and affirming when your entire life (AND THE LIFE OF YOUR DESCENDANTS) has been reduced to being a blood bank for the vampire elites.

The Beast has to go. The Beast has to be destroyed. No more reshuffling the deck. No more pseudo compromise or "adjusting". This is all the way or nothing, because we have totally run out of time -- which is the second core realization in all of this. If we don't DESTROY THE BEAST with politics-transcending dynamics in the very near future, we're finished. The waterfall of human species extinction is already booming in the background.

Please, please remember that our time has completely run out! Basically, that means it’s now or never. ALL of this challenge falls on us. Everything (human Civilization, our species, and countless other species) will be past the point of no return in (what?) 4 to 5 years if we don’t transcend politics and create apolitical strategies to destroy the beast. We can do it. We have the intelligence, energy, and passion of literally billions of human beings, plus we have going ballistic electronic methodologies.

But do we have the will . . .

So is all this a voice crying in the wilderness? I hope not, God how I hope not.

ps: In Joseph Conrad’s’ magnificent novel, “Lord Jim”, the moment of truth was when Jim had to decide whether to “jump ship” or stay and deal with the chaos of an overwhelming storm. That’s us. Is the human species going to “jump ship” (i.e., keep escaping into politics) or radically deal with (i.e., DESTROY) The Beast? This is our species moment of truth. Perhaps the Universe is watching.

In one form or another, America is headed for Revolution

2009-03-17T16:46:00.001-07:00

Obama is waffling more every day while the DLC Clinton right wing machine keeps desperately trying to take over the Presidency.

Should we be surprised? We should NEVER forget the DLC Clinton machine is what puked out the 2006 Congress of dem traitors, and just one example of an historical Clinton atrocity is their repeated support of Monsanto Corporation’s trashing of sane and "green" production of food.

The following excellent submission says it all: http://www.opednews.com/articles/Monsanto-and-Hillary-Clint-by-Linn-Cohen-Cole-090209-290.html.

Obama still deserves our support and Godspeed to him, but with the passage of every week, he keeps sliding more into "status quo" politics, i.e., NO FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE OF ANYTHING.

At the end of the next four years, it’s already probable the best we can hope for is a "decorated cage".

Of course, all this was 100% predictable since politics, even at its "best" is social game invented by and for the elites. Notice the Obama Administration is incomparably more generous to Wall Street than "Main Street". The sad, sad truth is that working class Americans are getting precious little from President Barack Obama.

Naturally, this is NOT Obama's Presidential campaign promises, but elitist lobbies like the AIPAC and Monsanto (both of whom "own" the Clintons), are showing the world again that this is the United States of Lobbies, not the United States of America.

In short, the "will of the people" (which was a MASSIVE mandate for radical change) is being laughed at by elitist, special interest lobbies. Indeed, the Chinese are accusing us of being the United States of Israel.

Ironically and tragically the rest of the world is not fooled by any of this Clinton/lobby/elite trashing of the will of the American people – which please remember, gave an overwhelming mandate to Obama for radical change.

But Obama is just reshuffling the deck, when what is needed is kicking over the card table and leaving the room.

So how do we get the Clinton, AIPAC, Monsanto, etc., etc., claws out of the jugular of America? NOT WITH POLITICS!!! That's the single most important realization for the betrayed soul of our "Dictator of the Rich" country.

And make no mistake, America IS a Dictatorship of the Rich and has been so for decades. That's why the lobbies are the true government of America. American elections are simply ignored in what is now probably the worst "banana republic" on the planet.

So, politics = the status quo = the American Dictatorship of the Rich = The United States of Lobbies. If we didn't get the message after the 2006 Congress of Clinton machine traitors, what's STILL HAPPENING in America is heart breaking proof that electoral mandates mean little or nothing in “our” (what a laugh!) country.

And the alternative to "establishment" politics is what? The alternative to decorating our cage is what? The alternative letting a handful of multi millionaire and multi billionaire lobbies spit on our Democratic and Constitutional Republic is what?

Revolution, of course. There is no other option. However, we must stay open the possibility that radical change doesn't have to come from radical violence. It may sound idealistic, but surely "nonviolent" revolution should be our highest priority.

Here's another way to say this. "The Beast" (i.e., mentally ill religious fanatics, the extremist right wing of every country on the Earth, and parasitical, astronomically rich elites), is the "reality" behind the "appearance" of politics.

Well, we too need a reality behind the appearance -- an ALTERNATIVE reality, of course, and one at least as powerful as the Beast.

In short, we need something that doesn't merely reshuffle the deck and decorate our miserable cage. We need something that kicks over the card table, leaves the room, and LIBERATES humanity from this political cage of the Beast.

Very simply, we're talking about apolitical, nonviolent REVOLUTION.

Impossible? Well not so fast. Actually there's a multitude of ways we can transcend the lose/lose game of politics and save our country, planet, and lives -- all of which the Beast is systematically murdering.

9/11 would be a good place to begin. We must be bulldog-like about this infinite treason and keep up a steady drumbeat of investigation and mutual communication. There's absolutely no doubt that MILLIONS of Americans (and even vastly more millions from other countries) have long since flushed down the toilet the pathetic (and even clumsy) pack of lies spun by the Bushivicks about this fascist engineered event -- indeed, almost certainly, a national/INTERNATIONAL event. The more we tug at these threads, is the more we will inevitably destroy the Beast, because planet-wide, common humanity will NOT ALLOW these traitors to go unpunished.

Systematic and surgically targeted national/international boycotts would also bring down the Beast.

These are just two totally apolitical strategies that would with absolute certainty DESTROY THE BEAST.

And please note that the engine of change in both cases is not "weaponry" but knowledge. It's hard to estimate how many Americans are now open to violent revolution; however, a powerful counter argument is that history has taught us that Revolutionary blood baths almost always end up making everything worse.

Plus, if most of the above is true, such militant revolutions would be totally unnecessary.

The operant turn of phrase here is "knowledge is power" and when you factor in the internet, we're talking about going international with this sharing and quest for knowledge. Naturally, the same would be true for national/international boycotts.

To wax hopeful, such planet-wide, electronic "town hall meetings" could also be extended to deal with even more of America's vast "unfinished business", e.g., the assassination of JFK (in which Daddy Bush played a documented and exceedingly odd role), the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Bobby Kennedy, and most recently, the probable assassination of Senator Paul Wellstone.

Since knowledge is the essence of these life and death strategies, here's an admittedly off the wall suggestion that almost certainly would work. What brought down Watergate was of kind of "mole" who supplied much (most) of the information that eventually got translated into the legal, constitutional hurricane that blew away the filth of Richard Nixon -- but not, alas, Henry Kissinger who was even more of an anti-Christ than Dick Cheney.

That's what we need for 9/11, etc. We need some "moles". That is to say we need some "insiders" to supply us with critical facts, dates, etc., we can use the same way they were used in Watergate. Hence, the suggestion is that we offer REWARDS (and substantial ones) to people who either "secretly" supply critical information or, even better, go public (for which they would be paid more). The caveat, of course, would be that IF AND ONLY IF their inside information (about national/international "inside jobs") led to congressional committees or courtrooms, would these individuals be paid the agreed upon "reward".

The Beast (aka, the "Have's" and religious fanatics) is the God of the Earth and has been so for millennia. Politics will never come within light years of The Beast, since politics was INVENTED by and for the elites. It's the bone they throw to the human race to delude us into thinking we have ANY significant role in government.

If the human race doesn't "quantum jump" to the awakening that politics is not part of the solution, it IS the problem, the extinction of our species is realistically inevitable in the very near future. Exaggeration? Look at the hundreds of scientific articles on the net, in books, and magazines that are predicting the rapid destruction of what's left of the life and death ecosystems of humanity.

Its see spot run simple: The Beast vs. the continued existence of the human species. If we don't transcend this lose/lose game of elite, establishment politics and take 100% responsibility for apolitically destroying The Beast, evolution will select out the pitiful "human experiment" before it has a chance to even get started.

****************************************************************

ps: The good news (and Lord, we need some) is that massive sharing of knowledge on the net is already in full force. It needs some goosing to be more systematic and “focused”, but we already have the means to destroy The Beast with mountain ranges of knowledge, facts, and evidence. More specifically, we need to “internationalize” sites, submissions, and communications to include EVERY country on the planet. This is the imperative “next step” in the evolution of our virtually limitless “information machine”.

ps2: Plus, we need to buy some moles!

The chaotic social/political world is the tip of an iceberg of immeasurable Homo sapien stupidity.

2009-03-17T16:43:00.000-07:00

Astronomers often talk about trying to make contact with "higher intelligence", but are puzzled and frustrated why no planet-wide "contact" (a la Karl Sagan) has been made with us to date.

Note that "higher intelligence" here means basically being in the same ball park with humans. But, what if higher intelligence means being a hundred or a thousand times MORE intelligent than our species? If so, why would they WANT to make contact with a species that is rapidly (almost "instantaneously" on a cosmic time scale) self destructing and dragging countless planetary ecosystems with it?

Roughly 65 million years ago the consensus scientific view is that the Earth had one of its several catastrophes, i.e., it was struck by an asteroid that "killed the dinosaurs" (and much more). In point of fact, this was an infinite stroke of luck for animals, since for roughly 150 million years dino's ruled our swamp-like planet and once the dust had settled (literally) they crawled out of their holes and had a safe environment in which to flourish and evolve.

Many people in science are now speculating that humans are the most recent catastrophe (out of, say, 5 or 6 known ones) because they are (like the asteroid) decimating countless ecosystems of the Earth.

And this means TRULY higher intelligence life forms would want to make contact with us . . . precisely why?

This is just an intro to the thesis that stupid life forms have stupid "societies". It's also the thesis that humans try to find social/political solutions to social/political problems since we are too "intellectually challenged" to realize this is like putting band aids on degenerative diseases.

Treating symptoms instead of causes is virtually the definition of a human being.

And the causes are what? Well, basically having a spider web contact with reality.

Consider institutionalized religion (if you have as strong stomach). How seriously can you take a like form that has INSTITUTIONALIZED "intermediaries" between each of us and truth/reality (or your biggie concept of choice)? Here's a better way to say this. If you want to know who/what you are, you ask a religious professional (e.g., rabbi, priest, minister, guru, etc.). How painful it is to acknowledge that most of the human race is so insecure and stupid they actually ask SOMEONE ELSE who they are! And such intelligence wimps are really going to construct a creative, healthy, and compassionate society? In your dreams. What they are going to construct is exactly the social/political toilet we wake up to every morning (or something gaggingly equivalent).

Even science is tarred by this brush. Not all scientists buy into this, but most of them assume science is our best shot at "objective truth" (this, of course, can be said in a variety of ways). So what's wrong with this? Almost too many things to talk about.

The MAIN problem with "religicized" science is that it's a game only Homo sapiens play. This certainly doesn't totally discredit it. Indeed, the scientific method holds the scientist's feet to the fire pretty well, but there are several Achilles' heels in those feet.

Consider Einstein's work and the "laws of physics". To cut to the chase, Einstein's Theory of General Relativity is often described as proving that the laws are physics are the same for any observer in any state of motion anyplace in the universe (Special relativity limited them to inertial systems). Wow! What an achievement.

And it WAS an achievement. Einstein magnificently jumped out of the common sense box of 19th Century physical contradictions.

So what's the problem? It's so obvious that only a Duh species would miss it. The problem is that the world of physics is species specific. "Our" physics (good bad or otherwise) is only OUR physics and the world it deals with is only OUR world.

The point is that all life forms (including probably trillions of extraterrestrials) "evoke" their own reality/universes so if they do something like "science", that science will be 100% a function of each life form. So, even though we like to think human science is "objective", it's only objective FOR US. Bacteria, whales, bats, salamanders, and extraterrestrials have their OWN reality/universes, fully as objective for them as ours is for us. And if they do something resembling what we think of science (which is a stretch) it would be a very different science in a very different reality. And to think that out of these billions and billions of worlds, some of which with science-like structures, ONLY OURS is the "real" one, the "objective" one, is simply a proof of how stupid we are.

We could go on and on, but let's stop with these two cases (there's lots more).

The moral is that a species utterly dominated with (a.) institutional religion and (b.) religicized science is a criminally stupid species, and from such a species can only come stupid manifestations -- specifically our insane asylum social/political world.

Naturally, the beat will go on with this species stupidity and we'll keep running around, bumping into each other and bumping into to walls in nearly totally dark rooms thinking: "Hey, we're doing something socially & politically significant". Duh . . . no, DOUBLE Duh.

However, the fact that these things are self-evident may be ray of hope. Indeed, our primary problem now is that we may have already passed the survival point of no return since we're accelerating our way to the evolutionary waterfall of human extinction. Put poetically, from probably the beginning of the Have and Have Not horror (the birth of the Beast!), we are less sliding into a “black hole” than WE ARE the black hole into which constellations of ecosystems and life forms keep vanishing.

So, will the human race snap out of its planet-wide mind set of suicidal stupidity in time to "get real"? An exquisite irony is that typically the things in life that are the most ultimately true are also the things that are the most ultimately obvious (the raw meat of species-transcending intelligence), but is the human race willing and/or able to “stand up” in this hurricane of obviousness in time avoid the abyss?

This is not just an important question. It is the only question,

The Scam and the Reality of Israel/Palestine

2009-03-17T16:40:00.000-07:00

The scam of extremist Israeli’s (who do not represent the whole of Israel) is that they don’t want to be “pushed into the sea”. One wonders why they would fear this since they have they have incredibly more atomic weaponry than the entire Arab world combined!

The Reality is that the extremists want THE ENTIRE COUNTRY OF PALESTINE, as the quotes below make tragically clear . . .

"We must expel Arabs and take their places."
-- David Ben Gurion, 1937, Ben Gurion and the Palestine Arabs, Oxford University Press, 1985.

In 1948, David Ben-Gurion stated: "We have taken their country....We must do everything to insure they never return....We must use terror, assassination, intimidation, land confiscation, and the cutting of all social services to rid the Galilee of its Arab population."

In 1988, former prime minister Yitzhak Shamir told Jewish settlers that Palestinians "would be crushed like grasshoppers (with their) heads smashed against the boulders and
walls.”

In 1967, Israeli defense minister, Moshe Dayan, said: Palestinians "shall continue to live like dogs" so they'll leave.

"Israel may have the right to put others on trial, but certainly no one has the right to put the Jewish people and the State of Israel on trial."

Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, 25 March, 2001 quoted in BBC News Online,

"There is no such thing as a Palestinian people... It is not as if we came and threw them out and took their country. They didn't exist."
-- Golda Meir, statement to The Sunday Times, 15 June, 1969.

"This country exists as the fulfillment of a promise made by God Himself. It would be ridiculous to ask it to account for its legitimacy."
-- Golda Meir, Le Monde, 15 October 1971

"We walked outside, Ben-Gurion accompanying us. Allon repeated his question, What is to be done with the Palestinian population?' Ben-Gurion waved his hand in a gesture which said 'Drive them out!"
-- Yitzhak Rabin, leaked censored version of Rabin memoirs, published in the New York Times, 23 October 1979.

"The Partition of Palestine is illegal. It will never be recognized .... Jerusalem was and will for ever be our capital. Eretz Israel will be restored to the people of Israel. All of it. And for Ever."
-- Menachem Begin, the day after the U.N. vote to partition Palestine.

"The settlement of the Land of Israel is the essence of Zionism. Without settlement, we will not fulfill Zionism. It's that simple."
-- Yitzhak Shamir, Maariv, 02/21/1997.

"It is the duty of Israeli leaders to explain to public opinion, clearly and courageously, a certain number of facts that are forgotten with time. The first of these is that there is no Zionism, colonialization, or Jewish State without the eviction of the Arabs and the expropriation of their lands."

Ariel Sharon, Israeli Foreign Minister, addressing a meeting of militants from the extreme right-wing Tsomet Party, Agence France Presse, November 15, 1998.

How many of us have awakened from political/social phantasmagoria and seen The Beast?

2009-03-17T16:38:00.000-07:00

The philosopher Plato was a dualist. He said life had two radically different parts. One was the trivial world of our senses and the other was the transcendental, abstract world of forms and ideas.

The consensus mind set of our species is contaminated with similar dualities. For example, the gulf between the so-called "separate self" and the so-called "external world" (i.e., that from which the separate self is separate).

This belief is still nearly universal in the human mind set, even though it is beyond absurd. For example, there’s the philosophical toy of when a tree falls in the forest and there’s no one to hear it, is there any sound?

Well, in the first place this isn't a "toy" question and it isn't even a paradox, because when asked with sophistication, is it self evident that the answer is categorically no.

Think of it like this. When a tree falls in the forest and there isn't any life form (it certainly doesn't have to be human) with an auditory nervous system which transacts with vibrating air, there is no sound. Indeed, "sound" and "hearing" are two different aspects of the same phenomenon. No one "hears" sound, since hearing/sound is a unity.

More radically, the same is true for the visible world which never exists unless a life form with an optical nervous system is keyed into some interval of the electromagnetic spectrum. Succinctly put, your don't view the view, since the view IS the view.

Again, it must be emphasized that the above is not toy talk, hopeless paradoxes, or empty intellectualizing. It is (or should be) the self evident truth of things. The larger moral is that it proves the alleged duality between humans and nature is utter nonsense. The empirical world we live in (a bad way to say it) is the world our species "evokes", and this in turn is a beautiful reminder that the Universe is our home. We are necessary "participants" -- not "visitors".

OK, enough philosophy/science.

All of the above was intended to be a thoughtful (and hopefully interesting) way to introduce a very different duality. We can say this several ways. We can borrow the appearance/reality distinction of Plato or use an ancient image from the Orient and talk about the Veil of Maya which "covers" (at least mentally) the ultimate truth of things.

In any event, the human condition is PROFOUNDLY divided into two unimaginably different worlds.

The first world is the one probably 98% of the human race is semi-consciously "living" in. Note, living was in quotes, because this first world is what the Buddha called Dukha (anguish) and it is an endless vale of tears. The supreme lie of our species is that the world practically all of us are living in isn't a world of broken hearts, bodies, and minds.

But is this being exaggeratedly "negative"? Thinking precisely that it is what keeps the game going, because the only way billions of life forms would submit to chronic abuse and even genocide is to become a species of "enablers" who never see the elephant in the living room (that wonderful image from family systems theory).

However, the Buddhist take on life is not the issue here for all its sublime wisdom.

No, the issue is The Beast.

And the Beast is what? To begin with, The Beast is the second world. It is the TRUE REALITY behind the systematically suicidal "first world", i.e., the world of politics, TV sitcoms, three jobs, lost health insurance, a raped and murdered Mother Nature, broken health, and world wide genocide of the working class.

The infinite tragedy is that nearly every human being alive thinks the first world is the ONLY world. This is as good as it gets, and nirvana is keeping up with your credit cards (even as the interest keeps rising and rising). Hey, this is it; this is life; this is reality. End of conversation.

Ah, but what about the "second world"? What about The Beast, because if extraterrestrials are monitoring us, they know with absolute certainty that the Earth is the Kingdom of The Beast. They probably don't even acknowledge all of rest of us (even though they may pity us), because they know what's on "this" side of the veil is us, i.e., around 6 billion infinitely brainwashed human cattle and creatures so far beyond being "suckers" we don't even have a word for it.

So, back to The Beast, back to Reality. And The Beast is what? That question is easy. The Beast is a hellish stew of mentally ill religious fanatics, the lunatic right wing fringe of every county on the Earth, and parasitical, vampire elites (Paris Hilton comes to mind and, of course, the Bush Royal Family which is all of a piece with the Saudi Royal Family, etc.).

However, the "quantitative" thing about The Beast is that it is made up of very few humans, since relatively few of us can be multimillionaires and multimillionaires. Hence, this is a very, very select "club".

And The Beast relates to human cattle how? Well, for openers there is now abundant evidence (do a search) that The Beast is committing systematic genocide all over the planet since they want to wean out about two billion human cattle. Think of Africa and the "induced" epidemic of aids by white Europeans.

What else? Well, The Beast may be roughly 1% of the human race, but they have 95% (or more) of the wealth of the planet. In other words, The Beast is made up of literal Greek Gods of wealth and power -- Kings and Queens, really, even though they try not to use those words anymore.

So two worlds. One subjugated, systematically murdered, and turned into walking blood banks for the vampire elites. The other, a world of ASTRONOMICAL WEALTH beyond the dreams of Midas.

However, The Beast isn't only living in a world of God-like wealth; it is also seething with putrescent religious fanatics. And that horrific combination is probably nowhere so much in evidence on the planet as the lunatic right wing fringe of Israel. Hey, how much longer are we going to keep our lips sewed together about these infinitely righteous, billionaire psychopaths? Of course, it also should be added that these monsters do not now and never have spoken for the entire State of Israel.

The most loathsome thing about religious fanaticism (for ALL religions -- no exceptions) is that they so comfortably turn all the rest of the human race into expendable slugs.

We saw this over and over again during the anti-Christ Bush years, when the "religious right" made it tragically clear they believed Muslims to be subhuman filth. The surest symptom of psychotic religious fanatics (and we should keep in mind that these people are certifiably psychotic), is their joyful murder in the name of God.

The “religion” word usually has two meanings. Institutional religions are strictly businesses and religious fanatics are out patients from hell. Proof? People who actively massacre hundreds of thousands of other people “in the name of God” are evil incarnate.

The point that's being groped for here is almost impossible to get our minds around because it is the TRUE REALITY of the Earth and this true reality is a reality of virtually cosmic evil.

EVIL is the God of this planet; it is the "second world" which we (the first world) cope with only with pitiful denial and stupidity.

Well, that may be, but what options does the "other" 98% of the human race have?

That question is a measure of our pathetic and MASSIVE conditioning. How can we even ask such an insect-like question? The truth of things is screaming in our face 24/7. It's not that most of the human race, at least on some level of consciousness (however dim), doesn't have an almost ESP sense of The Beast. That's not the issue, even though the denial is so dense you have to cut it with a knife.

No, the "issue" is what the bloody hell do we DO about it?

Well, that question may have literally hundreds of answers, but ONE ANSWER utterly dominates them all. And it’s so simple even barnyard animals know the answer.

Put it like this. The mythologist Joseph Campbell used to talk about following your bliss. A beautiful man with beautiful intuitions, but for what we're talking about now, Joe is irrelevant.

However, to rephrase his saying, the answer is FOLLOW YOUR RAGE, because if several billion human beings "follow their rage" about these tiny enclaves of Greek Gods, the outcome will be inevitable. And this tsunami of rage will totally transcend politics (a game invented by and for the elites).

The point is not to feel bound by someone else's "game rules". In THIS game the only rules are OUR rules. We don't have to "answer to" the abstract structures (financial, political, religious, etc.) which have for millennia protected The Beast.

To HELL with politics. To HELL with religion. To hell with ANYTHING that gets in our way. We must unleash a hurricane of rage that will literally annihilate (whatever that means!) The Beast.

The alternative is to continue our Duh, submissive, sitcom, blood bank existence.

One last shot. The subtle point is we must TRANSCEND the social game rules which enslave the human race, and the only thing that can and will do that is to FOLLOW OUR RAGE.

And don't forget, The Beast (remember Africa, remember Israel/Palestine, remember New Orleans, etc.) is already killing us off by the millions.

And oh yes, it helps to remember 9/11 -- the ultimate and treasonous desecration of The Beast.

We didn't start this "war", but we absolutely have to FINISH it. The mathematically exact bottom line is will The Beast destroy the human species (and of course, itself as well), or will the human species destroy The Beast?

We aren't slugs, we aren't cattle, and we aren't blood banks. We are children of the universe and it's time to once and for all claim our birthright -- WHATEVER THE COST!

Viva the human race.
