Borrowing Bullets

The FBI, the CIA, or simply liberal political agenda has hit two birds with one Holmes in the wake of the Aurora theater massacre. (I won't call it the Batman Massacre, as it's melodramatic and unfair to Batman.) Firstly, they have attacked the 2nd Amendment. The media declares with woah, "We victims of our own Constitution... he obtained those weapons legally..." Secondly, they have attacked our platform for communication about it - the internet. "We victims of an unregulated web... he learned how to make bombs on that there uncensored internet..."

With the recent U.N. Agenda 21 and with CISPA passed in the House of Representatives, the Aurora shooting could just be perfect for turning public opinion in large favor of gun prohibition and a highly regulated internet. This is happening now, while Americans bop to Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe", gape at the latest caped crusader suckfest, or beat off to amateur porn. Pick your favorite distraction. 


Meanwhile cops in Anaheim are shooting kids and moms with rubber bullets... oh, and we're about to fight a likely needless war with Iran. 


Watching the victims cringe and cower in Anaheim got me to thinking, "What the hell is wrong with people?"


The answer came to me today when I was put on task investigating the secret life of Gandhi. Gandhi, like Jesus, has become a symbol of the efficacy of pacifism in creating cultural change. The stories of these "great men" have become the symbols of a generation of cowards masquerading under the guise of spiritual superiority. I mean, Jesus... the Christian symbol is a cross - 2,000 year old electric chair equivalent. We've been told the high road is one of voluntary suffering before we knew America existed.


Problem is, these mythological figures don't exist. For the straight skinny on Mohandas K. go here and read it all. As for Rabbi Yeshua (aka Jesus), it's looking more and more like he was Essene, and that group was zealous as "get out", as demonstrated by the immaculate temper tantrum in the temple described in Mark 11:15–19, 11:27–33, Matthew 21:12–17,21:23–27 and Luke 19:45–48, 20:1–8.


Nevertheless, we humans can find justification for any flaw we're packing, be it our rage, our lust, our ambivalence, and, well, you name it... 


Now I'll cut seekers some slack (cuz I happen to be one) and say that I believe there are genuinely well intentioned narcissists out there that have bought the turn-other-cheek Brooklyn Bridge and are begging to be ass-raped by the authorities so that they can feel smugly superior. But this isn't about them, or me, or you... It's about US and the U.S. So stuff your pictures of Jesus and Gandhi or whatever Molech you  pay homage to on your living room sofa watching Dancing With the Stars. 


Grab your credit cards and max them out on ammunition at your local Walmart while you still can. There'll be a poetic justice in it soon.
