Accident? No, I don’t think it is. It is a literally and very consciously cruel bad joke. The underlying intent, of course, is the rape and murder of Israel, with a very happy celebration to be had on her corpse.
The obdurate dirt, and filthy
clay must be subverted.
We MUST inflict Change
change must be inflicted.
If we are too many
we must become few.
If we are too few,
we must become many.
Change must be inflicted.
There is no other way.
The fish who swim in the sea,
and lakes and streams:
we must command them.
The sky: we must reach the sky we must conquer the sky
Earth cannot be enough, until it is,
and then it will be all,
After we inflict our change.
Beetles march in imperfect rows and must
be corrected, and birds sing at the wrong times.
Something is wrong, something is
very wrong.
We must change it
Change must be inflicted.
We grow through strength:
this will never do.
We wane in weakness:
this, too, will never do.
Because we must inflict change.
Change must be inflicted.
Lovers meet, wrestle and part,
or perhaps they stay. This is the
eternal way, but we do not want the eternal way:
we want change. We want change.
We are the inflictors of change, the enforcers
of change, the angels of change and the demons of change.
All that was, must be no more, no more.
All that will be we have already conquered.
We live forever in shadows, forever in the transition,
forever in what could be, but will never be
as long as we inflict change.
We are the guardians of change, of all
that almost was.
We are the guarantors of strife and evil, because
we never rest.
We inflict change and call it good, and tiring of
good call it evil. And we call evil good, and then
inflict more change.
Nothing is left in the end. We have interrupted it all.
There is to be no party at the end of time, merely a
quiet fart and then silence.
Such is our will.
After IT happens,
whatever IT is.
I float down Average Avenue,
in Springfield, always Springfield.
Weeds cover everything, the roofs are
collapsed,
But I see what was.
Through the bolted door, I
perceive the TV blazing like a cold hearth,
stealing: stealing poetry, heat, music.
Strange shapes move on it, but they mean nothing.
I see the people, frozen, not in
contemplation, but in ablation.
Their lives consist in forgetting their lives.
Work is play, and play is something for children.
And the play of children is eagerly consumed,
because there is little else.
Mass produced food is mass produced in the kitchen.
It is subjected to suitable reactions, and enhanced steams
fill the room.
The children, not knowing
how to inhabit this world, begin slowly,
with their own devices, their own screens. Mommy
feels nothing. Daddy feels nothing. Perhaps I
should feel nothing too.
I watch, and wonder why they can’t turn outward.
Or perhaps, why they cannot turn inward.
I wonder, why they are frozen even now, as they
were frozen then, awaiting they knew not what.
There are ghosts, and
there are the ghosts of ghosts.
Not all that ever lived ever left
a mark.
We are all cast into the world,
but many spend their lives waiting to be cast
into something else.
This is the life of a toadstool.
Comment: sorry. I feel bleak at the moment, but it will improve. This is my method.
Those who broke it
Say:
It was them it was them the
villains.
Darkness descends
and is called light.
To see clearly in this “light”
what “must be done” is
to be blind, madly it is to be
a rabid dog who
has forgotten
everything, and everyone.
Foam is Truth they say and rage
Fidelity.
Where the ledge of hope
for the teetering soul?
The Democrats tipped their hand CLEARLY in this election. We had, what? 4 or 5 races where tens of thousands of ballots showed up in the middle of the night. We saw them calling for early voting and it is not hard to connect early voting with often voting.
We are seeing in Florida that not only did people vote who were not legally allowed to, that the Democrats actively SUPPORT them in this purported “right” which exists nowhere in the law of our land, and which is nakedly being asserted to in effect buy votes.
All of this shows the Democrats are scared that working class whites, the black community, and large segments of the Latino community are deserting them. They want people who came here illegally, who want free stuff, and who hold our laws in contempt providing them the wave of power they have become so addicted to.
We can’t allow this. The fraud is open enough that no one can honestly question sincere and effective means to prevent it. The Democrats, obviously, will scream bloody murder, but in my honest opinion it is an open question if they even won the House. They certainly stole at least one Senate seat and actively trying to steal another.
I think Obama won fairly in 2008. John McCain was a shitty candidate most Republicans didn’t even like. But I will again assert that it is far from clear that Romney did not have that election stolen from him.
Democrats keep asserting “there is no evidence of fraud”, but in cases where there is no follow up, where the “loser” concedes without a recount, no evidence WOULD ever show up, since there would be no investigation.
Trump needs to audit every district in the country, every election for national office If it takes passing a law to allow him to do this, the fucking retards in the House need to pass the law, and the Senate needs to approve it. And they need to do it NOW, or in the next six weeks, at any rate.
We need to prevent a similar fiasco in 2020. It is FUCKING 2018. This sort of bullshit is 19th century bullshit. It is emerging democracy bullshit. It should not be happening here, now.
As far as Hillary, one needs to wonder if she is saying she is running so that if she is arrested she can claim it was political. She sure as fuck won’t win.
For all intents and purposes, our political climate is determined by several different “stations” people listen to. The people who listen to MSNBC and CNN are gone. They are not reachable, except by visitation by the Angel of Sanity, and that angel has difficulty getting through. But all the language and ideas originating in those places can and should be considered background noise. It is incoherent. Irrelevant, for all the people capable of sanity, and capable of making informed decisions. So even if they keep the volume at 11, it doesn’t matter. We can and should ignore them. Their screams should not factor into public policy decisions.
Obviously, once the asylum is reconquered by the inmates in 2019, they will do what they are going to do. The Senate, last I read at any event, is still controlled by Republicans, and Trump is still the President with the pen and the veto.
I will add, that I don’t think ordinary, law abiding Americans can take much more of this patently anti-democratic cheating and lying. If this happens in 2020, there will be bodies in the streets. And it is completely unnecessary. All that is needed is common sense, and modicum of courage, and some planning.
Congress: is this beyond your ability? Are you all dickless cowards?
And I do think this is already the case, but the RICO Act allows groups to be prosecuted, when the crime was clearly coordinated. We won’t be able to go after the national Democrats this way, but I do think local groups in many States could likely be locked up. And it would only take one or two to deter most from even thinking about trying to steal elections in the future.
It is possible all this is working to the best. We are seeing, right in front of very bright lights, patent fraud taking place in multiple locations. The Democrats will scream their usual things, but the political evidence is sufficient for Trump to do things like create a national election commission which, perhaps, studies the voting systems in other countries, and makes recommendations which the Democrats will oppose, and which Trump can skewer them for opposing, since their opposition is ludicrous.
He needs to point out the racism inherent in saying black people are too fucking stupid to get drivers licences or at least ID’s. He needs to get a stage full of black people and ask them: are you this stupid? And they can all show their ID’s, and tell the Democrats to go fuck themselves. They can tell the Democrats to stop acting like they are helpless children, which is what the Democrats patently do.
Her uncle was a Communist, who had apparently allied with the Communists in Azerbaijan in an effort to subvert Iran. This part is glossed over in the movie. What I read is that Azerbaijan was a “member” (conquered nation) state of the Soviet Empire by 1920. The Soviets wanted, and got, the oil.
The Soviets also wanted Iran as a whole. The Russians had invaded and subdued the Iranians before, in two wars, in 1804-1813 and again 1826-1828. Georgia and Azerbaijan were once a part of Iran.
Thus, the threat of a Communist takeover through Mossadegh was not a fantasy. They wanted Iran’s oil, and they wanted a warm water port.
And as the protagonist points out in the movie, where the Shah had 300 political prisoners, the Mullocracy had 3,000, most of whom were eventually executed. Everything got worse under the Mullahs. Had the Shah stayed in power, eventually international pressure would have liberalized everything. America backed the right side, although I will not excuse our arming both sides in the Iran-Iraq War. What an ugly thing. War is ugly, and the war business even worse.
The point I wanted to make, though, was twofold: 1) virtually every repression in every nation in the entirety of the 20th century was the outcome, direct or indirect, of Communist efforts to create a global imperial regime. When Pinochet performed a coup and executed thousands, it was to prevent a Communist takeover. When right wing death squads operated in El Salvador, it was to prevent a Communist take-over.
Nearly every civil war in nearly every nation the entire planet over was the result of Communist efforts at global conquest. Even World War 2 could not be imagined if Hitler had not had the Bolshevik menace in Germany to create a reaction to.
Arab Terrorism, even, was the result of a policy of the Communists to use Israel as a means for generating a wedge between the Arab nations and the United States. They used careful, long term, and well planned propaganda to stir up ethnic and national hatreds which had been dormant for a long time, and provided the training in terrorism to make such activities effective.
In my mind, I can see no conflicts which did not involve Communists. Indonesia, China, Vietnam, Korea, Laos, Cambodia, Ethiopia, Angola, Guatamala, El Salvador, Chile, Argentina, Cuba, Greece, Iran, Hungary, Czechoslavakia, World War 2. Perhaps the Indian War of partition, which was the fault of the British. OK: granted the 1948 War of Israeli existence.
This however brings me to point 2: Communism, as a global imperialistic enterprise, really cannot be seen separately from the British colonial period. The British invaded everywhere in the whole freaking world. There is a difficult Sporcle quiz: name the 22 modern nations the British have not invaded.
As one example, I thought surely to God they never invaded Iceland: I was wrong.
It is significant that Marx wrote his work in London, at the height of British power and hubris. I have never read Das Kapital, and have no plans to, but psychologically it is difficult not to think that Marx had in mind a way to bring down the British, specifically, and that much of the emotional underpinning of the exhortations to resist “Capitalistic aggression” and to support–for a time, until you realized what was really going on–the “People’s” aggression, was the knowledge so many nations had of being trodden on and used by the British. It was a very wide pool of players to manipulate.
But I will comment that Marjane’s uncle–to return to the movie–Anoosh, continued to believe until his death that one day the “Proletariat will rule”. With Communism, the Proletariat NEVER EVER EVER rules. In Russia, when Lenin executed his coup and won his civil war, there hardly was a proletariat. It was less than 10% of the population, and that population never did anything but work and die when he and his successors said so.
Communism is a hook. It is a hook which appeals to real problems, real abuses, and which became skilled early on at enlisting sympathy, pathos in general, and the outrage of good people, all to be subverted, serpent-like, to new, worse rulers. It is a creed of the Lie. Communists are People of the Lie, to use M Scott Pecks term. You cannot not be a sociopath and be a sincere Communist. There is no other option.
When we see Communist flags in America, the sentiment behind it exists at the comic book level, but people also thought of Hitler as Charlie Chaplin. We need to assess the threat as real, because the evil history behind that symbol ruined countless lives, and continues to immiserate a billion or more in China to this day. To be sure, they seem to be building shopping malls, and theme parks to Americanize their people enough to hypnotize them into sleep, but the reality is that they are moving pieces to be manipulated at will by an invisible and omnipotent hierarchy, and that for every shopping mall, there is a place in hell in their Laogai.
China, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos: all ruled by gangsters vastly more corrupt than Al Capone.
Trump also needs to create a standing voter fraud task force in the DoJ which operates continually, and which eventually becomes a force to be feared by the Democrats, in their continual efforts to get by cheating what they can’t get through ideas, integrity, and ability to do good things for their constituents.
And I think things have progressed far enough that he can safely ignore what the media says. Most future battles will be fought in courts. The people who listen to Bill Maher are stupid. They cannot be made intelligent, now. It’s the people in the middle, the people who might be MAD that the Democrats stole their election from them, who matter.
The forces of truth and honesty remain the majority in this country. Democrats cannot any longer win honest elections, not in aggregate. This is an important development.
And I continue to wonder if Obama stole the election in 2012 from Romney.
