Proper Nouns are People Too


Those of us born north of World War II and especially those of us born in First World conditions have a hard time imagining a governmental regime that systematically slaughters its citizens. But if we consider the media propaganda we've all been fed, the corporate ad crap that's blasted at us daily, the cultural moral decay, and the statistics of the 20th Century, the math ads up. The fact that "statistics" exists as a science at all, shows the human capacity for the reduction of nouns, proper or pro, to numbers. "Demographics", "stereotypes", "corporations", "factions", "parties", etc. - all work in tandem to do one thing: objectify. This objectification is the source of all torture, slaughter, exploitation, commodification, in short, the reduction of life to objects. 

Face it: Someone, somewhere thinks you're expendable... 

... Not only do they think you're expendable, but they are taking active measures to exploit you. That exploitation may be chronic or acute, but you damn well better believe its happening. The good news is that it ain't personal. Remember you're just a number. 

The heart of this matter is widespread spiritual destitution. I'm not talking about deviation from religion, because religion objectifies it adherents and infidels just as readily as any corporate slug objectifies its market. I'm talking about a maturity of perception that understands our essential unity, and in that understanding is capable of empathy. Our leaders are disconnected. They cannot empathize with us. If they could empathize their daily decisions would be different. 

We've created an exploitative culture through materialistic reductionism. Why then should we expect anything less than martial law, psy ops, or police brutality. The power elite has long puppeted us through the banks, and now that the banks are failing, they will resort to all out fascism. 


Actions steps:

1) Meditate.

2) Make noise.

3) Train daily.

4) Ask yourself, "How do I objectify my fellow humans, animals, and even plants." And make an effort to see individuals, not collective bodies. In short, get personal.

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.

Abuse of Power in Anaheim

A few hours ago Anaheim police shot and killed a man named Manuel Diaz for non-compliance. These things happen. Perhaps they acted rashly. Thereafter, the crowd that gathered to protest chanted, "No justice, no peace!" 


No matter what happened to rouse the crowd, this video footage of police firing bean bag rounds into a crowd containing women and children is inexcusable. Other footage shows police releasing a canine attack dog into the same vulnerable crowd. It does not appear any weapons were drawn against the police officers. 


Check this out: 



From L.A. Now: The Anaheim police "are not judge, jury and executioner," Theresa Smith, whose son was fatally shot by Anaheim police in 2009, told the newspaper before Sunday's protest. "Nobody is given their due process, and it just seems like everything has gotten out of hand."


In revisiting the Second Amendment under fire... The founding fathers did not specify the "right to bear arms" for the occasion of home defense against criminals. They enunciated this right as a part of the dynamic system of checks and balances that makes our system work. "Government of the people, by the people, and for the people" demands an armed populace in the event of tyranny. An armed populace is the biggest failproof against corrupt executive, legislative, and judicial branches. These three balance each other and ultimately an armed populace guards against abuse from any of these three. The founding fathers understood first hand the tendency toward government corruption. They sought to arm the governed offering consent to the government as long as it did not become abusive.


The Anaheim Police are demonstrating executive abuse. Why were there no return shots fired? Why are we tolerating this? Who is going to save us from these abuses? If you think the government, local, state, or federal, plans to regulate itself any time soon... you deserve the abuse you are certain to receive.
