A New Year (2018) Prediction:

Women Will Continue To Stress Men

I was watching President Trump’s speech at the FBI National Academy in Quantico, Virginia, and becoming increasingly concerned over Trump’s uncritical praise of the police. To me Trump’s speech gave clear evidence that Trump has little understanding of the state the American Empire and the catastrophic situation its militarism has placed the world in. No less grating was the applause the president received from the audience. Apparently, the police, too, perceived itself as entitled to be equipped with military type vehicles so best to circumscribe human freedom, when self-circumscription, taught in government supported genderless kindergartens, failed. The ‘laws’ of government-run Paradise were strict and were enforced with incarcerations at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp or even the death penalty. It did not seem to occur to anyone that when law is set against human nature, God, if there is One, will judge it to be illegal and give license to kill the lawmakers.

As I was listening to the speech, I could not help wondering if President Trump had not accepted the invitation to speak, because he knew that the FBI was participating in a quiet coup d’etat  (it had done so with President Nixon) to remove him from the presidential office by impeachment, and that by uncritically flattering the police, he could gain their sympathy and support, when the situation became critical.

As stated in my previous blog (EC639), “Many [have] wondered and asked “Why are so many millenials becoming communists?” The making of a communist in our pseudo Populist-communist empire gained momentum with the election of President Obama, a democrat, who as a black man came to power largely because he attracted the votes of black city Populists. Those who have read my blogs will know that my answer to the question of communism in our time is that a) we live in a Virtual and not Real world; b) the Virtual world has been, for the most part, made in the city; and c) democracy, which is real among the Populists of the wood and countryside is a fantasy among the people when they transfer themselves from the environment of the wood to that of the city. Unfortunately, while the Populists of the city differ radically from the Populists of the countryside, the difference is perceived only superficially. The blame for the failure to perceive Reality goes to Marx, Lenin, and Stalin, who mistook the unrest of the peasants for the unrest of the workers of the cities. The Marxists were of the city environment, and identified themselves with it the most.

The failure of the intellectual elites to perceive who is most trespassed against affected the evolution of the historical  process in an apocalyptic manner. Beginning with Marx, born in 1818 on the heels of the French Revolution (1789-1799), and continuing through the American Civil War, the turning of family farms into factories (plantations in the Caribbean and American South were predecessors to the Soviet kolkhozes), the industrialists and traders turned the Age of Enlightenment into an Age of Hell on Earth. A further result was an extreme polarization of society into Haves and Have Nots. The Have Nots were ‘collateral damage’ of a bank run economy. When in 1929 the graspishness of the elites caused the United States to suffer an economic collapse, Virtualism suffered its first serious defeat in modern times. In order to avoid a Soviet style bloodbath in America, President Roosevelt pushed through legislation for a New Deal—even as the American prison system to this day incarcerates more people than any other nation in the world.

Events tumbled and see-sawed from year to year, with the military-industrial complex making huge advances against the interests of Populists, whether these lived in the city or the countryside. As countryside farmers were replaced by foreign laborers and automation, and the unemployed were replaced by Food Stamps and various government support programs, the notion of a paid for and ‘free’ existence gained nigh universal acceptance. City Populists developed the notion that science and technology was the worm that could live by processing through its body raw dirt. In effect, the social body conceived itself as a worm on the dole. When the recent presidential election put Trump in the president’s office, he interrupted a long storied fantasy of city dwellers, who reacted vociferously to the notion of having to return to work or reorganize society along very different premises than those operating in the time of their parents. Misled by years of prosperity and having been led to believe that the U.S. had somehow escaped Reality by calling itself ‘exceptionalist’, the Virtualists began a ‘last stand’ attack on what was left of Reality. The goal of the attack is to unseat Trump from the presidency and replace him with ‘crooked’ Hillary, who was the losing candidate.

While attacks on President Trump came from every whichway, the most noteworthy and disturbing came from citified women, who perceive Nature as a ‘right wing’ and fascist enterprise, and wish to use the occasion of chaos in government to push their cause against perceived male sexual aggression. Though President Trump escaped the accusations of being a sexual predator, it is not for lack of Virtual women trying. Of course, Trump was not the only target of women indoctrinated by Virtualism. Virtually everyone who associated him- or herself with Nature was being attacked. So far, one legislator has been driven to committed suicide. One would not be surprised if more follow. Males born of Mother Nature were to get their comeuppance from women raised on dreams of Virtual Utopia.

Given the predominance of Virtual Reality and fake history over Reality and real life events continues for the most part unquestioned, and seeing that fakery has not yet broken below its support lines, one can expect that the odd rebel, one real estate tycoon become President, will—come 2018--be impeached. Though from this author’s perspective this seems absurt, we have endured an absurd Age for several centuries, and the momentum may be with the clowns yet*. Moreover, since no one in America (or Europe, or Asia, or Australia,or India, or the Middle East for that matter) is ready to rethink the premises of ‘the good life’ in Virtual reality, an unforeseen and anti-matter ‘accident’ may activate itself again and again side track history. Which is to say, that a second coup d’etat by the FBI will be realized and bring the Klingons to power again.

*As the speculative fever in Bitcoin and anticipated rise in the price of gold and silver attests, neither the Haves nor city Populists are ready to give up on the fantasy of the coming collapse being anything other than a temporary interruption of our Virtual Empire. In fact, all the mentioned will be totally worthless if Nature wins the war. Since the military let the FBI humiliate one of its own, the sacrifice of Lt. General Flynn may be a hint of where the real sympathies of the military lie.

4 A Populist Revolt in Virtual ‘Paradise’

The premise of this book has been that all men and women are born populists when they are born to Nature in the wood, where they sustain themselves by means of an autarchic (self-sustaining) form of economy. The languages of these populists reflect a religious tendency, which religious feeling best expresses itself through various poetic devices. For reasons only casually researched so far, there then occurs a shift toward feelings that reflect violence. As best as can be discovered, the violent feelings have to do with the arrival of warrior princes, who build themselves forts, which in the course of time become cities that become removed from reality and assert virtual reality as superior to the reality introduced by Nature.

In an effort to protect Nature from the cancers of violence brought by a violence prone ruling class, the populists of Nature discover God, who originates in and emeges out of the circle of populist healers or shamans. Instead of offering the populists of the wood herbal teas as medicine, the healers offers them their lives. The offering awes the populace and holds its attention. The charisma mobilizes the people’s spiritual resources and enables them to resist the warrior princes. Needless to say, the latter try to kill God*. This is what is behind the story of Jesus and early Christianity.

*The theology of the neoChristian Catholic Church, the theology of which is accepted by all neoChristian denominations, kills God by removing him from Nature, by equating Nature with the ‘material world’ here and now, and by placing God in a realm reachable only after death.

After the killing of the populist God—aka Christ—the princes of the city rewrite the story of the Savior Christ in such a way that their story effectively neuters and makes God irrelevant. Henceforth, Christ becomes a secular being and friend of tax collectors, whose tax collections help enlarge the forts into cities. A surplus of booty (which includes teeth made of gold) enables cities to offer its inhabitants various advantages, now known as ‘social’ services. These services attract the Populists of the disappearing wood to the cities. The transition from wood and field to the city is wrought with many catastrophies, but after a period of experimentation, the ways of the wood become (through so-called ‘democracy’) the ways of the city, i.e., the natural democracy practiced by the Populists of the Wood becomes the virtual democracy practiced by the city. Democracy as practiced in the environment of the wood is replaced by a parliamentary democracy which sits in the city. Through radio, television, computers, and telephones, the virtual democracy of the city sends an echo to the countryside, where the people (having lost their minds along with their mules) for all purposes agree to believe that Nature is a creation of the city.

The capture of Reality by virtual reality progresses willy nilly for centuries. As long as ‘social services’ are provided and enable city Populists to live a more comfortable life than that offered by the countryside, the cities are everyone’s envy. However, there comes a time, when the cities exhaust the resources of the wood and countryside. This happens when the destruction of Nature reaches such proportions that cities become unnaturally wealthy, and their ‘social services’ attract people from all over the world, especially from so-called ‘third world’ countries. Imigrant men’s sexual organs* take control over their owners minds at the sight of city-women in miniskirts and rapes become commonplace. The imigrants soon overwhelm the cities, and their economies turn into shambles. The collapse creates mass hysteria and eventually (not yet) a mass exodus from cities. The cost in lives (several billion) spells doom.

*The sexual organ (whether male or female) is sometimes called an organ with a mind o its own. The disregard of the truisms of Nature are common to our ‘we know better’ Virtual civilization.

The first to perceive the coming collapse of cities are its elites, the 1% that today own more than 50% of the wealth of their countries. The antennae of the elites receive many rumours of shortages and coming disasters. In an effort to prevent the inevitable, the elites make an attempt to reverse past trends, by trying to persuade the people to desert the city. To this end in 2001 in New York City, the elites create a spectacular event known as 9/11. What with underground nuclear devices exploding, and airplanes flying into buildings, and real people jumping out of broken skyrise windows its one of a kind spectacle. However, the spectacle is botched and backfires, when the elites ‘discover’ the culprits, and name them foreign terrorists. The elites then attack Afghanistan and fake an assassination of the alleged leader of the terrorists one Osama bin Laden (he actually died years earlier of cancer). For all the spectacular nature of the theatrics, the elites fail to break the hypnotic success of the propaganda that has endured for centuries and has persuaded the populace of the superiority of virtual reality over that of Nature. Not only do the Populists of the city not leave the city, but the military activity of the government against foreign terrorists strengthens the inhabitans of the city in their ‘belief’ in the superiority of city life.

When after seventeen years of war in Afghanistan, the United States of America fails to reverse the process of collapse of Virtual reality*, both the government and city populists are seized by a panick that is subliminaly sourced. Cities experience seizures of full-tard hysterics. The hysterics break through the social veneer during the 2016 presidential elections in the United States of America, where an outsider to the entrenched government—a billionaire real estate mogul—threatens to and does unseat the entrenched (deep state) government.

*The collapse of so-called Western world cannot be stopped, but only delayed. Moreover, the latter can be accomplished only through the seizure by the West of the natural resources of the East. Be that as it may (the U.S. effort to detach the Ukraine from the Russian sphere comes to mind), the effort reminds of Hitler’s effort to secure for national socialist Germany ‘Lebensraum’. A translation of Lebensraum into English is ‘breathing space’ in the sense of enabling an extension of emergency services to an otherwise unsustainable, i.e., fake social system.

The American media and academia—having successfully hidden the fashist tendencies of the American government, which began when it took away the land from the native people and against all evidence asserted its aggression to be part of a ‘democratic’ process—broke out in cold sweat, and openly tried to make of lies a holy story. Men and women, knowing only virtual reality, fantasized and asserted that they had no intention to ever leave the virtual reality of the city and resume life as creatures of Nature. In effect, they voted for ‘rapture’ in situ.

National Socialism, a secretive and closeted political phenomenon in America, came out into the open with a violence that could hardly conceal (yet had no inkling of) its roots in the democracy of populists of the wood. Many wondered and asked “Why are so many millenials becoming communists?” A silly question that. Millions of American youths, born of the city, wonder pathetically why the goodies of their Capitalist Paradise are not as free for the picking as buds, seeds, mushrooms, and berries in the wood.

It is disturbing that the authors of articles and videos (either on main stream or alternate media) fail to note that Virtual reality has usurped Nature almost totally. City dwellers have removed themselves from Nature to such a degree that it does not occur to them that communism and democracy among the people of the wood is as inevitable as it is unachievable in the city. Even so, when the People of the wood are enticed to remove themselves to the city and then are faced there with unemployment, lack of sustenance, and a government that presumes to take the place of Nature, the city Populists, aka Anarchists, appear and wreak havoc before Nature declares their movement a failure, collapses, and causes the the populations of cities to die en masse.

3 The Senses as Embodiments of Religion

The greatest of expressions of religious feeling is music and poetry. Two of the greatest twisters of the sinews of the heart in the past were Sebastian Bach and William Blake.

One of the great problems with regard to religious feelng is that many people attempt to turn it into a white rabbit. That is to say, feeling is turned into something solid, like Heaven, the Garden of Eden, Paradise, Elysium, Arcadia, Heavenly City, and so forth. By turning religious feelings into a solid, we kill the appreciation of the Divine within ourselves. Can the Divine continue to exist as a white rabbit? The answer is “no”, because the nature of the living world is such that there should always be more subjects than one. If you and I are owners of a rabbit and we meet, each one of us is likely to insist that “My rabbit is prettier than yours”. If the rabbits were made of porcelain, soon one or both will lie smashed on the floor.

One may say that a melody and a poem are forms of objectification, and that consciousness necessarily trends toward objectification. Still, a melody and a poem are more ephemeral and physically less real as a porcelain rabbit. One can hear notes being played and words being read, but the sense of the divine is not represented by a certain painted idol, which is a step closer to the ephemral becoming an object. In other words, objectification proceeds by steps: from perception through the senses (hearing, sight) to becoming graspable by hand, which then shapes it according to the dictates of an ego that has little or no understanding of what it is about.

It comes to mind that one may also point to an overlooked sense: the sense of smell, of which humans have lost much, but which is elemental to other forms of life. In fact, smell may represent a greater sense of religious feeling, and is, thusly, superior to what Bach or Blake produced. This may be the reason why we are alive: smell makes religious feeling so immediate and real that we want to eat it or seek to engage with it through sexual contact. It is a way of objectifying without the use of hands. In short, we are what we smell. What we eat and copulate with sustains us in one way or another. This may be the reason why animals do not need humanlike consciousness. It may be the reason why the noses of immature minds—recruited by self serving governments to kill humans outside its incestuous circle—do not find the smell of corpses repulsive and keep returning to the battlefields until they in turn become carion.

I have always been impressed with the fanaticism with which my cats hunt, and after killing their prey (a word that is the very synonym of prayer) how they toss the dead mouse through the air this way and that, as if paraphrasing Blakes sentiments: “When the stars threw down their spears/ And water'd heaven with their tears:/ Did he smile his work to see?/ Did he who made the Lamb make thee?”

Indeed, I am horrified over the religious feelings of my cats (John Purr and Rumyancov) and amazed over the attachment and loyalty with which we regard our relationship. John Purr, a mix of Siamese and Angora, was thrown into my yard from a passing car with a suppurating leg that took a few months to cure. Rumyancov was rescued from a cold winter in the wood and brought into the house, for which he thanked me by claiming my house as his and shitting up every corner of every room. He got a thrashing, which he did not forgive by not coming near me for a year. Still, I let him live in the shed and fed him. Now he lets me pat him with my hands dressed in workmen’s gloves without biting my hands.

But I may be digressing.

I would like to suggest that languages, too, are created by a sense and sensibility that forms out of something like religious feeling. The howling of wolves is a good example of what I believe to be a proto-language arising out of religious feelings. In raga EC637, I write about anthropologist Pierre Clastres comments about the Mbya Guarani Indians of Paraguay. Writes Clastres: “The[se] pa’i, whom one is tempted to call prophets instead of shamans, give the astonishing profundity of their discourse the form of a langage remarkable for its poetic richness. We see in it a clear indication of the Indian’s concern to delimit a sphere of the sacred so that the language which articulated it is itself a negation of secular languate....” For example, these prophets call the pipe “the skeleton of the fog” and the fingers of God, Nanadu, “flowery branches”. The rise of the sun means the awakening of their language and with it the awakening of anguish and need to pray to the “inevitable ones”. But does not the failure of their prayers to connect with the Gods bring them frustration and after no response to their prayers a resort to violence? As Blake says of the Tyger: “Did he smile his work to see?/ Did he who make the lamb make thee?”

I have noted (in many ragas past) indications of a similar notion in the Latviyan language, my native tongue. Instead of discovering flowersy phrases, the phenomenon (shared by many other Indoeuropean languages) expresses itself through the so-called diminutive or endearing word, which can be brought into being through every noun and verb. A similar notion in English has been elimited and removed to the position of wisdom teeth. The latter are due to the violent incursions (using the written word as used by the media) of secular language into our subjective minds. For all practical purposes, the endearing word in English has been eliminated and left for use in personal names; for example: John < Johhny; James < Jamy; Ann < Annie; Barbara < Barbie. Even here the secular world intrudes by turning the endearment into a cutesy word that can be readily merchandised, re Barbie, Dolly, etc. As for the Latviyan language—it no longer exists as its original creators intended it. While the politicians fight for its existence, because the fate of the language is on every Latviyan’s mind, paradoxically the populist users of the language care not a whit about it, because in reality the language has been seized by commercial interests and no longer belongs to them.

The objectification of the word did not occur through poetry, but through law in the service of unconscionable trade and its ‘inevitable’ companion—unconscionable advertising. Like science, law can function only by killing the mind: if the law were to permit the mind to use the endearing word, subjectivity would be resurrected, and the entire codifice of law would fail.
