She is the Queen of the machine, the keeper of the gates, the holder of the keys to our cages.

I will say more on this topic later, but for now I want to point out that EVERYBODY in America has by now been infiltrated with strong whispers of who this woman is and what she has done.  Even the most ardent “NANANANANANA” pluggers of the ears on Daily Cause KNOW on some level what she has done, and who she is.

But many still plan to vote Richard Nixon the Still Worse.  Why?  She embodies, on a mythic level, hatred they cannot admiot.  She is the rage they feel from the cages they live within, but cannot see, cannot own, cannot process.

She is the Goddess of Mental Illness, and we are mentally ill.

It’s funny, too, and I will weaken this post a tad by exploring, how we say “Mental illness”.  It is really emotional defects which cause cognitive distortions.  They are not primary, they are effects.  But because we are all cogs in machines, what matters most is our ability to keep doing our jobs, holding our place in line, and that in turn depends not on our happiness, but our ability to think well enough to handle the immediate and mechanical.

I agree with him.  It appears disjointed but there is a unifying thread.  His emotional logic is sound.

My honest opinion is that only madmen (and women) are capable of sanity in this twisted world.  If you are not crazy, then you really ARE crazy.  It is not natural to be a machine.  It is not natural to hate.  It is not natural to live in boxes or to prefer precise lines across long distances.  These are learned habits, and have nothing to do with primitive forests, the flight of birds, or the arcs of the sun and moon.  Those are different wisdoms.  We suffer in silence, but we also suffer from silence. Nowhere is here, and it is impossible to arrive without moving.

Tarkovsky always messes me up. I just watched this movie.  I didn’t think it possible for a painting to make me cry, but it did.  It’s the eyes.  So much pain, so much patience, so much something I can’t name.  They tell you there is something higher, and that suffering has a purpose.

If I ever meet Michael Savage or Alec Jones, the first thing I will do is tell them they are fucking lunatics.  The second thing I will do is give them a hug–or shake their hand–and say THANKS!!!!

I present as a mind, but I am really an ocean.  And it is both horrifying and gratifying, because everything is in there.  Nothing is missing.  It is my game.  I play it.  I watch the wind and rain, storms and smooth waves.  I feel the sun, I extend to the moon, and sometimes I sleep in peace.

There is some part of me which SEES, which never sleeps.  My task is to earn its trust.

Oh, two hours of poetry and a bottle of wine will do that.  But I value my madness. I prize it highly.  Think how much more interesting the world would be if everyone were on their own path, if they engaged directly with life, if they were passionate, fearless, driven. We all get broken in the end, but there can be moments of perfection on the way.

I will be buying a copy of the National Enquirer tomorrow, for the first time ever, to help them recoup the money they paid this guy to risk his life and be looking over his shoulder the rest of his life.

I have noticed every time I get on Jill Stein for President on Facebook my page locks up.  It just happened three times.  It’s not locking up anywhere else.

You have to wonder about people who would demonize someone who is speaking needed truths, such as that Democrats don’t really care about American workers or blacks, and haven’t for a very, very long time.  Decades in my view, certainly since Obama took office.

It feels to me like the process of integration–which is both bringing into awareness lost parts of yourself, as well learning to get them to work better together–is turning a circle into a line.  It is moving from repetition to movement.

And it feels to me like actual growth feels like open ended exploration, movement without purpose beyond curiosity, with ideally a touch of play and humor added in. What it is not is work.  Work is survival.  Work is getting through the grinding.

Effective work is learning not to work.  We have mechanisms within us which can, if we let them, take care of most things.  The task is to allow and trust.  That is very, very hard.

I”m not sure I agree with all of this, but I’m going to post it anyway.

I write this blog for wonks.  By now you know about the tape allegedly by Tim Kaine but which was in reality by Alec Baldwin of him being a complete fucking douchebag yelling at his daughter.

Here is the point I will make: this false claim was CERTAINLY started by paid operatives of the DNC.  We know they contemplated and may have actually placed, sexist ads on Craigslist which supposedly originated with Trump.  We know they started a riot in Chicago.  We know oxygen lady was paid money to provoke an assault on herself.  We KNOW they plant people to ask certain questions of politicians.

Ponder the ethics and psychology of this.  Winning is everything.  Accomplishment is equated with electing your people.  Do you then ask yourself: well, did they do ONE FUCKING THING TO HELP ANYONE, and that is not a question anyone wants to hear.

Corruption, in the service of failure.  Not a pretty sight, or something to brag about.

And is there really any difference in these tactics and this mindset and that of the KGB when it was running AgitProp operations in the United States, and the rest of the world?

I have said this numerous times, but they had 4x the money committed to fucking our culture up and confusing everyone and fomenting conflict as they did actual intelligence gathering.

And I thought it was specifically interesting that the Wikileak about a dumbed down and comliant populace involved a National Endowment for the Arts operative.

Here is the quote:

“I’m certain the poll-directed insiders are sure things will default to policy as soon as the conventions are over, but I think not. And as I’ve mentioned, we’ve all been quite content to demean government, drop civics and in general conspire to produce an unaware and compliant citizenry. The unawareness remains strong but compliance is obviously fading rapidly.”

This guy ran the NEA under Clinton.

And it is likely worth pointing out in the interest of the fairness the Left does not recognize that the unawareness he speaks of  is people not agreeing with Democrat policies.  Anyone who doesn’t toe their line is assumed to be stupid.  They are assumed to be stupid because most of these clowns are unaware of any alternative economic theories, theories of jurisprudence, ethical and ideological diversity, etc.

I do think art was made intentionally ugly by Communists, and that we need art in our lives badly, but that we need GOOD art, and good people producing it.

We need heart.  We need soul.  Bad politics produced by bad people will not create those.  It will instead steal from you your very sense of self, and do so so slowly, so insidiously, that you will simply start hurting and never know why.

I know I wrote this on Facebook, but can’t recall if I shared it here: Electing Hillary now would be worse, much worse, than reelecting Nixon AFTER Watergate.  We KNOW she is a cheat and a liar and a law breaker.  The best her defenders can say about her is that she has never been CHARGED with a felony.

And I like to read Snopes.  They spin the fucking hell out of everything, but it is the nature of their particular beast that they have to put the fact out there.  And when they are forced to unambiguously support  viewpoint they don’t like, they just delete the story, like they did with the story about Obama’s mother being featured naked in Frank Marshall Davis’s porno mags.  They had a rebuttal.  I read it myself.  Then pictures were published with the stars on the tits removed, and it became impossible to argue the case.  So I understand. I’ve seen a lot of tits in my time, and they come in all shapes and sizes, some very distinctive.

But here is their treatment of Hillary’s time on the Watergate Commission: http://www.snopes.com/politics/clintons/zeifman.asp

What she unquestionably did was take part in a coverup.  Specifically, they were trying to deny Nixon the right to legal counsel, but there was a precedent, in the impeachment of a Supreme Court justice, that counsel was allowed.

What did they do?  They stole the files from the main library concerning this Justice, his last name was Douglas, and hid them where no one else could access them.  THEN they wrote a legal brief saying no precedent existed.  They lied, in other words, knowingly, intentionally.  Here is their supposedly exculpatory clarification:

Moreover, Zeifman plainly stated in his book that Hillary Rodham didn’t “confiscate” files related to the Douglas impeachment case. Rather, he asserted that it was her supervisor, John Doar, who — with Chairman Rodino’s assent — took possession of those files, writing that “Doar got Rodino’s permission to place all of our Douglas impeachment files in his exclusive custody.”

So Hillary engaged in a coverup, but one directed by her boss.  Can we just call this learning on the job, and being perfectly OK with being part of a corrupt system?

Some things never change. 

This is an interesting article on Dada: http://www.nybooks.com/articles/2016/10/27/growing-charm-of-dada/

I became very interested in Dada when I was 18 or so.  The reason why was not clear to me then, but I would suppose it represented to me a release of a wound spring that was otherwise impossible for me.

Without commenting too much (although I will relink my paper on it.  Actually, this is quote worthy

Through an interesting twist, we wind up in a position that since all narratives are equal,
we can only condemn our own. And since all narratives are bad, and since we have a
narrative, it needs to be condemned. And since we just deconstructed our own narrative,
we can no longer deconstruct anyone elses. We have no tools, no criteria, by which to do
this. Our own notions of justice have been jettisoned, so we will have to use those of
others. 

That was percipient, if I do say so myself.

But the point I had originally intended to make was that all this destructive energy also had the hope of creation behind it, and it was PLAYFUL.  There is none of that in the modern climate, which is angry, bitter, argumentative, divisive and mean.

And I will remind folks that Donald Trump DOES like to play.  He likes appearing on soap operas, and pro Wrestling, and things like that.  He thinks its funny.

And so, so many women have come forward to say that he is a gentleman and the charges against him fabricated.  But CNN and NBC won’t cover those, will they?

The fix is in.  We are living in an ugly, ugly time, filled with ugly, ugly people.  Trump is not one of them. 

If you think about it, in a dynamic system income inequality means you can do better.  It is one thing to have a fixed aristocratic system–which is the latent myth being invoked–but another entirely to have a meritocratic system like ours where most rich are recent rich, and where in theory you can only become wealthy by creating something of value (abuse of government and law breaking are also possible; but when the system is working, neither is possible, because government is small an relatively detached from the economy, and because law breaking is punished).

In a coerced egalitarian system, there is nowhere to go.  There is no hope for better, if better is what you want, and some people clearly want that.

It seems obvious to me that what people are really hoping for, emotionally, in seeking income equality is community, is a group where they belong, which shares their values.  But that has nothing to do with money.  It is a wish they dare not even voice to themselves, because it would reveal to them their spiritual and social poverty.

It further seems obvious to me that if you can build a society with a high average standard of living where some people, if they apply themselves, can become wealthy to an almost unlimited extent, then that is the best possible system, and except to the extent we have cheaters and government abusers (and lost wealth through monetary inflation) that is what we have.

Free markets combined with property law and relatively laissez faire government have exploded human wealth to an astonishing extent.  There is no close second to this system economically for wealth building.  As I have posted before, even overt imperialism (invading a nation and taking their stuff) is inferior.
