47 JAPANESE GONE MISSING

For birth to occur there must pre-exist a condition of trust. Such trust must pre-exist for even the smallest form of life. Materialists may call it ‘optimum conditions’.

Today no trust worth trusting exists. The hominid species is rapidly destroying the conditions necessary for life on planet Earth—from sardines, to dolphins, to their own kind. Distrust is sown by capitalism to facilitate ways to better confuse and f**k you.

This is why it is not surprising that life everywhere is at some stage of dying, and if not yet dead, but of hominid species and no longer a child, it is likely thinking how it may come to its death. It is a form of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) with suicide ever on the mind.

While this blogger admits to suffering from PTSD (how else could I come to write about it?), I do not admit to being hopeless nor to wishing those who have engineered the death our civilization dead by any other hand or mind but their own. However, to think thus is nothing new for me. I have thought this way since 73 years ago, which brings me back to the year 1941, when I was eight y.o.

I have already—a number of times—used the Japanese story of the “47 Samurai” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forty-seven_Ronin as an example for action to escape the curse of PTSD, and hope that the story becomes better known in our corrupt civilization, of which Japan is not only one, but one of the best examples. Contrary to myth, which proclaims that the story of the ‘47’ is well known and admired in Japanese society to this day, this is a lie. The behavior of current Japanese leadership stands their past on its head.

Another name for the 47 ‘samurai’ in Japan is ‘ronin’ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronin , which according to the link explains that ‘ronin’ means samurai left without a master. The link gives a decent description of what samurai without a master are like. The link also serves to describe contemporary hominids the world over—whether they be Spaniards, Americans, Germans. Italians, Tibetans, or Latvians, young or old.

It is interesting that in Latvia the word ‘ronin’ rings onomatopoetically to the word ‘ruhnihts’ (castrated). I take the liberty to use a pareidolic association to make these two words synonyms. Their common origin lies (likely) in the times, when in spring, both peoples drove reindeer herds from the Black and Caspitan seas regions to the Asian northeast, but one party went east (and became Japanese), while the other moved west of the Urals and became the Goths (whence the French, Germans, and Norman English).   

[From my perspective, the Japanese and Latvian cultures have both been ‘roninized’ (castrated) into ‘law-abiding’ and subjectivity lacking muted mentalities. The Japanese were struck by this tragedy after Commodore Perry ‘opened’ Japan in 1854, while the Latvians (and Western Russians) got the brunt of Gothic-Roman tax collecting ‘higher’ culture from such representatives as the Swedes, Danes, Germans, French, Romanized Poles and Lithuanians from the 12th century on.]

Indeed, the Ronin without a master have behaved as one may imagine  castrated samurai will; and modern man without a God (be It One or many who are worthy of the Name) is no less an impotent creature. It is not for me to condemn the Japanese for representing a castrated culture, as it was done by one of their own writers—Yukio Mishima http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yukio_Mishima , a three time candidate for the Nobel Prize, which he did not get allegedly because of his anti-modernist perspective asked an equal sacrifice of the leadership than it asked of the common Japanese man and woman.

Japanese elite were so impressed by American capitalist ways that four decades after meeting ambassador Perry, it attacked China and Korea (1894) http://academic.mu.edu/meissnerd/manchukuo.html . Apparently the Japanese were impressed with the way capitalism, while dictating laws to others, managed to preserve its greed obsessed subjective meme a law unto itself or  free of the law. Up to the time of meeting up with capitalism, the Japanese had, so to speak, put their noses into the hole in the wall dug there by the samurai code of honor known as bushido http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bushido .

Freed of ‘bushido’ by America, the Japanese elite transformed Bushido into Japan’s feudal laws, and Japan’s went on the attack, eventually also against the shining tower of capitalism, America itself—for which daring it received the honor of being the first whose ‘populist’ segment was to suffer annihilation from the nuclear bomb.

The suffering incurred by the atom bomb destabilized the self-posession of the Japanese elite even further: they determined to unleash the Japanese subjective meme in as undisciplined a fashion as that same meme became unleashed among the Americans and they began to write polarized ‘laws’ as were ‘inspired’ by their subjective wishes.

Among the wishes of the Japanese elite is the wish not to have to apologize to anyone who its elite ever ordered attacked and murdered. By persuading the average Japanese to accept the reasons of murderers and, thus, removing from the consciousness of the ordinary Japanese any sense of guilt, it inspired its military plebs to turn into kamikaze pilots and sacrifice their lives to save the Japanese establishment (the Sun King including). The elite began to wait until more fortunate times came their way again and they could again become aggressors http://rt.com/news/japan-nuclear-weapons-security-133/ . Though such times take time to arrive, the Japanese establishment is so sure they will come, it has put the country 200% into debt of its GDP  http://qz.com/113948/with-a-quadrillion-in-debt-theres-only-one-way-out-for-japan/ . Currently, the Japanese capitalist mind is represented by its Prime Minister Shinzo Abe http://www.businessinsider.com/north-korea-shinzo-abe-asian-hitler-2014-2 , which puts Japan on par with America led by its Kenya born (Bilderberger concocted relativist) President.

In our capitalist hall of mirrors, the insignificant Latvian elite fit in as if in a made to order hologram with Japan and America. Economic ‘growth’ in the Latvian economy is accomplished by driving up to 900,000 (out of 2.2 milion) of its people from the country as economic refugees. Few  Latvians take issue with this fate, unless one considers the non-stop foul language on the country’s internet sites, which means that on the subjective level the language of the people is suffering from a deadly variety of Turrets Syndrome, which may be a way of escaping PTSD.

Is there any ‘out’ of this ‘cramp’ of persecution by the ‘legalized’ capitalist meme and return to the once extensive ‘freedom’ of the  subjective landscape?

No one knows, except the ’47 Ronin’—whenever it is that they see fit to come together. When and if that happens, I would hope that they are of venerable old age, to avoid the unfortunate habit of young heterosexual Japanese committing suicide to affirm their love in an otherwise meaningless public space.

The 47 x 47 (=2009) Japanese officials Plus (government and private company) who are responsible for the disaster at the Fukushima nuclear power plant will never pay for their crime, which has caused pollution of the entire Pacific Ocean, is killing sea life by the tens if not hundreds of thousands, causing yet unfathomable mutations, and is making swimming on the west coast of the U.S. (let alone Japan) dangerous, and has smeared the reputation of hominid intelligence with Japanese snot. http://rt.com/news/fukushima-radiation-levels-underestimated-143/

My personal judgment of the story of the ‘47 Ronin’ is that the ronin made a mistake by killing their lord’s enemy. As I see it, they should have taken their lives to shame Kira into doing likewise, because if he did not do so, he would surely be identified with Homo Sacer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_sacer . Still, the story sets a precedent for 47 unknown Japanese to repeat the act today before the Nakamon or inner gate of the Imperial court (formerly Edo castle). Not only would they  by their act give the dead Japanese king new relevance and life, but reintroduce an old ethic to government officials the world over.

Eso’s Chronicles 283 / 9
The ‘Knellen’ of EU Nations

The Charisma of Kings

Though many readers will agree with those who insist that a ‘nation’ is not a natural conglomeration of individuals, but wholly artificial, with which perspective I agree to some degree, though I lean toward accepting the nation as a fait accompli (of whatever forces were at work: ethnic, happenstance, war) and permanent—unless the nation itself or someone within it, wishes to go their own way and is adamant about it [Spain (Basques), England (Scots), etc. for example].

While in my own country, Latvia, a failed post-Soviet formerly sovereign State, the notion of a King is laughed off and ridiculed by just about everyone, the State’s failure to maintain a viable and strong-willed nation can be located in the ruling elite’s inability to imagine that the Super- or Federated States could possibly have been wrong or that consumerism is little more than the fairy-tale of the magically self-setting table become a reality for a period of time that cannot last.

The likelihood that the artificial community, the nation, is necessarily a closed circle socially and an autarky economically, and that to survive, the community must be willing to sacrifice in ways unimaginable to a violence prone federated mega-State, appears at this time an idea under chloroform.

Even so, we all are used to living in one house, one apartment, one room, or one shack on a more or less permanent basis, and we adapt to the circumstances and take them into account. We do not allow just any stranger onto our premises, let alone invite him or her to stay the night unless there are some extra-ordinarily compelling circumstances.

To ask anyone to stay on what we consider our private and privileged premises—as Ms Vivian Reding of the European Commission insists we do (whether Englishmen or Latvians)(see Intro blog 275)—happens only if we as a nation and a community have long been broken up by the likes of Ms Reding or her predecessors, who used tools (money, violence, and law) not accessible to us to defend ourselves with.

What the EC is doing is viking (wading up or down river) violently into the midst of Europe’s national communities and breaking them up by forcing them by the authority of federalism to lose jurisdiction of what used to be sovereign territory. At present only England appears to be resisting.

For the nations of the European Union the gradual loss of sovereignty through stealthy action by the Centre is a relatively new thing, but inserting immigrants in former independent nations was a widely spread practice throughout the Soviet Union, remains a practice in the current Russian Federation, is true in China, and has just about extinguished the authority of American States.

Unfortunately, once sovereign authority is surrendered, it is impossible to get it back by juridicial methods (it has not yet happened) http://rt.com/in-vision/spain-basque-protest-rally/ . New methods need to be devised and implimented.

One of the methods is to insist on the autocratic economic model. The following is an article on ‘Autarky’ that I find interesting http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-01-16/what-if-nations-were-less-dependent-one-another , even though the writer writes about it in the context of a federated (U.S.) State. He also cannot imagine life without economic ‘progress’ and is clearly not prepared to make his ‘art’ or culture become the medium of exchange, and he rather be dead and urbanized than self-sufficient in all things.

The following link is a pretty good illustration of what happens when the Vikings fail to learn to survive in the environment they come to as their final destination: http://www.voltairenet.org/article181798.html It is clear that they DON’T and make for a capitalist system that step by step leads from on war to another. Many Latvians of elite pretentions, and used to being federalized in the Soviet Union, now eagerly try to persuade all and sundry how wonderful it is going to be when we are part of Federalized Europe (FE). They have managed to get Latvia included by choking off (knelling) any prolonged debates or critiques of what losing sovereignty means and, unlike England, run to the bosom of EC’s Ms Reding for mother’s milk.

As the Basques have learned http://rt.com/in-vision/spain-basque-protest-rally/ ‘democratic’ procedures will not get one out of the clutches of even a minor federation such as Spain, anymore than Lombardy will get out of the clutches of bunga bunga Rome, or Scotland rid itself of the dusty English Crown.

Either the economic and financial crisis currently stalking planet Earth ends in a thorough collapse of society the globe over, or society finally perceives that globalized identity through personality inversion (and perpetually expanding ‘human rights’) cannot sustain society unless manna from heaven fallas an everyday event. What is needed is the King.

Obviously, in the beginning there is not going to be an actual King, but the community has to begin to mutate into a monarchist party that argues for the end of groupie States not by violence (as Moslem terrorists), but by refusing to commit suicide as it is currently forced to do through out of control community break-downs: alcoholism, drug overdose, obesity, helplessness, homelessness, and desperate (eyes closed) suicide. None of which has any positive results as far as ridding society of Bilderbergers and like human wonders is concerned.

I am not speaking in the accustomed language of revenge or violence that one resorts to when up against a perceived enemy. I have long written about the missing of self-sacrificial acts in modern day life and how this has destroyed the life of community except as a left-over of past times. The primary fault for this surely lies with the political leadership that has waged wars without repercussions on its own self. There is no way this can be turned around except by voluntary actions of individuals or, preferably, groups of individuals. With regard to the latter, the Japanese story of the “47 Ronin” or Samurai explains it best—of course without the sacrifice of Kira Yoshinaka http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forty-seven_Ronin , who we will leave be master of ceremonies, which is all our governments are capable of doing. Somehow, they need to be isolated in their own Vatican, where they can talk human rights, practice gender equality, have endless supplies of manna, and bunga bunga all day long without the presence of a lurid media spoiling the fun.
