Here is what I think is a good question: if the Left doesn’t need any evidence to call someone a racist, why would it need evidence to push a political agenda in any realm of human activity?  Why would they need evidence and data to support masks?  Australia, to support full Fascism in the face of the deaths, maybe, of a dozen people, while giving heart attacks and strokes to hundreds or thousands?  More people could easily kill themselves in this Nazistic orgy of control than died of COVID, or than could be plausibly claimed were saved.

Why would such people ever need ANYTHING to justify themselves?   Power means never having to say you’re sorry, right?  Power means never needing to listen to opinions you don’t want to hear.  Power means no one ever questions you, for any reason, without the severest consequence.

We literally have white people calling black people racist–a white publisher just called Candace Jone’s memoir “racist”–and doing everything just short of calling conservative blacks “uppity Negroes.”  Justification?  They don’t need no stinkin’ justification.

And here is a debate question.  Use a Lincoln-Douglas format.

Resolved: the teaching of Critical Race Theory will do more to advance the well being of persons of color in this country than any other possible activity or approach.

The way I look at that the question itself is vaguely farcical.  I am a debater.  I did LD debate (and by the way think it should be required somewhere along the way, in college if it’s not done in high school, because you have to represent both sides and it teaches awareness and flexibility), but if you put it this way, does it not become obvious that advancing black folks and CRT have NOTHING in common?  It is narcissistic masochism among whites, and there really isn’t anyone else.  There are some token blacks, but it’s basically white people talking about white people.  To shorten: it’s talk.  And it’s talk that is not even trying to become smarter or more agile.  It’s talk designed for domination in the pursuit of punishment, not elevation.

I hope we get through all this with our freedom intact.  There are going to be some great books on this collective psychosis.  But for now, a large segment of the world is batshit insane.

Two weeks to stop the spread is becoming two years to stop freedom.

I will mention again the test case, the control case, the national counter-experiment, of Sweden.  They never wore masks, and are not going through another round of COVID now.

They have handed out a lot of vaccinations, but what I will suggest is that in the year when they remained open most of them were exposed to COVID and acquired natural immunity which is doing vastly more now than the Spike Protein injections.

No one who says your immune system cannot fight this disease off, and to some greater or lesser extent remember it, is telling the truth.  The WHO had to modify its own long held position for COVID specifically.  This was a lie, a planned lie, an egregious lie, and a criminal lie.

It was identical to Anthony Fauci, in March 2020, stating the position that ALL medical scientists had held for 50 years or more (Camus wrote in “The Plague” in 1948 or so that they knew then masks did nothing to stop the plague), which is that masks don’t stop viruses, and then changing it on a dime without A SHRED OF NEW EVIDENCE.

All of this consists in politically and greed motivated crimes against humanity.  I literally think there needs to be what would amount to a Tribunal at the Hague (or elsewhere) for Crimes Against Humanity.  Children are starving in Peru and Bolivia.  They are starving in India.  In nearly all the poor countries the world over, those who barely had enough to eat before now don’t have enough to eat.  This can be laid at the feet of Anthony Fauci and the WHO.

I don’t know how to communicate how horrifying this image is that I have of what is being done.  It is a crime of global mass murder, that could easily exceed in a few years what Mao did to China in 20, and do so WITHOUT ANYONE REPORTING IT in the lapdog, complicit media.

Even now, I find it very hard to get accurate numbers.  Nobody wants to talk about all this.  The governments themselves don’t want to talk about what they have done to their own people.  They just want the poor to go die quietly and in a corner somewhere, like sick dogs that die under the porch.

Horror is the word.  Anti-Human would be another.  Sociopathic, another.

I sometimes feel like I have some influence, even if I most likely more like Tom Hanks thinking he took out the tank at the end of Saving Private Ryan.  Still, pew, pew, pew-ing seems salutary for me, even if an objective observer might find much that is ridiculous and absurd and comical in me.  So be it.

Communism, so called, is really just another name for some SOB or group of SOB’s controlling everything.  It’s kingship.  It’s emperors.  It is the Church of Science; and being a Church, it has found it necessary to abuse actual science and make many issues that are actually open to empirical improvement and study, closed doctrinally.

When the CDC or NIH declares the “science settled” on, say, these Spike Protein Injections, they draw on a long history of “scientists” simply swapping their lab coats for ministerial garb and declaring certain things to be TRUE, which only heretics and unbelievers would dare question.  That science is NEVER settled, in principle, and that this is known to be an incontrovertible aspect of the philosophy of science is simply ignored.  They simply ASSERT that science CAN be settled, and that anyone who doubts it is a bad person.

As I say, we should fund studies of the continuation of life after bodily death to the tune of tens and perhaps hundreds of billions a year.  It is a critical question.  The life choices of every person on the planet are informed, consciously or not, by their conception of context, which is to say if this is a one off, and forever disappearance, or if everything we sow here continues to pay dividends infinitely, or at least for an inconceivable length of time.

Psi is already being studied by many governments.  It has practical aspects, even if the people using it for bad things fail to recognize the philosophical importance of these things, and what they mean for our notions of what it means to be human, and by extension how each of us should spend our lives.

That wasn’t my main point, though, although reading back it perhaps needed to be said.

The people who put Biden on the throne are doing all the things that Communists do.  The goal, if you want to be a king, or run an oligarchy, and make serfs of the world, again, is to control all aspects of social life.

You need to control the media, which is to say the stories told in public.

You need to control elections, to secure your power, if you happen to live in a nominal democracy, which values that particular ritual, which can in any event be preserved in form, as indeed it was–and even still is–in most totalitarian regimes in the 20th century, from Iraq to China.

You need to control the medical system.  Consider that the CDC is being trial ballooned with the power to issue economic Diktats, as for example the power to tell landlords their tenants should not have to pay rent.  That would have been inconceivable to me, that anyone would buy that, until it seemingly happened.

Here is the thing: sometimes you just have to tell people to go fuck themselves.  If I were a landlord, that is what I would do.  And I would assume that around here, that is what has happened.  You would need left wing judges to uphold that sort of thing, which attempts to have the power of law, without having involved any legislature, or even any Executive in any State, and to be imposed across the COUNTRY.  It is making laws without any reference to the political system whatever. Unbelievable.

You need, of course, to control the police, the judiciary, and the Army, writ large.

Ideally you control the roads and bridges and rivers and sea ports.

You optimally control the schools, such that you train people to accept the idea of Lords and Ladies, provided such royalty uses the right words, like justice, and peace, and promises to “save the environment”.

If you go down this list, the Democrats are trying to check off every one, and have indeed accomplished many of them. I’m not taking the time to point out the obvious ways all this is happening, but will comment that making the whole military submit to the shot will almost certainly shake out many decent and honest people, and obviously political pressure has been on our nations police forces for some time.

One wonders how any AMERICAN could be so stupid as to support all this tyrannical behavior, but as I talked about a while back, I met a retired Army Colonel who checked all the boxes to be on the Biden team.  And he was a middle school teacher.  I would not have thought that possible until I saw it.  Then you have people like Milley.

I don’t get it.  I don’t think I ever will.  I am often an asshole, but I will never be THAT sort of asshole.

I recollect reading how Fannie Mae got a patent perhaps 15 years ago to shut of the power remotely in homes they owned.  This level of control is something a cabal has been seeking for a very long time.

Freedom in the United States is in serious trouble, and that trouble is exacerbated by the imbecility of much of our populace, such that the propagandists were able to convince a good third of the country that the very people trying to protect our system constitute the biggest threat to it.

Why are the Bidenistas worrying daily about an armed rebellion?  Because morally one is warranted.  They lie and cheat.  They are doing everything in their power to completely destroy our system of law.  They are abusing us, by locking us down, forcing experimental medical treatments on us.  You know the list.

But in my own view it all boils down to logistics: most cops and most soldiers, when push comes to shove, will most likely follow orders, and so the question is what good violence might accomplish.  What attack?  Why?  To what end?

And consider how much the Left and their lapdog media made of January 6th, where people rightly angry with massive fraud that was ALLOWED even by most Republicans–when not facilitated outright, as perhaps happened in Georgia and elsewhere–were first attacked by the police, and then ushered into the Capital, most likely following Agents Provocateurs, some of whom may have been FBI agents.

There were no guns.  There was no violence, except that directed by police against unarmed protesters, and including at least one blatant murder, and another that happened passively through police abusiveness.

If there WERE guns somewhere, it would go on 24 hour loop, and Biden–rather, the people behind Biden–would get the pretext they needed to start the final dissolution of all rule of law, all barriers to power grabs, that they have long been seeking.

As I have said, they WANT violence.  I won’t say it’s part of their plan, but it would be highly welcome news, and I guarantee they already know what specific and immediate use they would make of it.

So I just look at all this.  From my seat, there is nothing I can do.  And I know I’ve expressed these rough ideas before.  Violence is not the answer, but doing nothing means a slow shrinking that will not end until people like me are in jail, or officially marginalized and silenced in some less overtly abusive but morally equal way.

This post is my contribution.  Maybe somebody else can look at these parts and come up with something.  SELF EVIDENTLY finding the evidence I have no doubt is everywhere as to blatant voter fraud–and most likely destruction of evidence–would be a good start.  That is a good use of the system, and for my part, I wonder daily why so many people who should know better seem to be playing the parts of drooling morons, with the only alternative explanation being participatory corruption.  Well, and simple cowardice stemming from a lack of principle.  That is what you get in decadent societies.

We don’t live in End Stage Capitalism.  We live in end stage civilization.  We are decadent, in many, many ways.  Nothing is truly sacred any more, for far too many of us.

I think of Brazil, which I will continue to insist is the closest dystopia to what we actually are seeing, where Pryce is told by the receptionist, I think it was, “Don’t hold out too long, or it will affect your credit rating.”  We are damn near there, and damn near literally.

Give me a world that’s not falling apart, and I can perhaps help lead us into something better.  But the primary aim right now is to not fall into darkness, which is where we live now, with much worse both possible and on the way.

I am realizing this blog is a part of my personal rhythm, part of my beat, and that I have some choices in how I interact with it, in the feeling tones I associate with it.  This is positive.

I am consistently inconsistent.  That is less positive.

The question I logged on to ask is this: in what does maturation, which I would conflate with psychological individuation, consist?

The background is the hellish “The Angels” chapter of Milan Kundera’s “Book of Laughter and Forgetting”, which I personally think was filled with bitter remembrances, even if he in effect told the odd joke.  As he said, the book was about Temina, and she drowned in a river trying to escape a Communistic Lord of the Flies island.

Hitler Youth, Communist Youth, Antifa: all the same emotionally.  They are psychologically infantile and angry.

What makes them different from adults who have bad ideas?  From adults who are neurotic and carry scars across their lifetimes?  Where, to invoke Kundera’s metaphor a bit imprecisely, is the border?

Here is what I will suggest: the process of individuation consists primarily in learning to see with your own eyes.  It consists in taking responsibility for your own experience–not necessarily controlling it, although that is an advanced and highly desirable skill–but in learning to allow the world to speak to you unintermediated by the ideas and feelings of others.

As Kundera notes, you can have sexuality without sex, and sexuality without adulthood or maturation.  Sex and the ability to procreate are certainly not useful metrics.

And to his theme and point, one’s memory and one’s individual hopes are perhaps also factors.

What seems certainly true is that when everyone is saying EXACTLY  the same thing, that childishness is present.  And that childishness leads to anger, and bespeaks anger.  It is a cage people learn to love, but since people are not meant to live in cages, rage roars out regularly.

What a fantastically uncertain time we live in.  It’s horrifying.  But it may yet be amazing.  I guess we just have to [insert cliche].

I finished Kundera’s book.  In my own view, it was offered in a spirit of Litost to the supporters of “Progress”, of “Rationality”, and of Meaning as expressed by the Party, and the rape of Czechoslavakia.

Temina is who the book is about.  He says that.  And she drowns, under the watchful and uncaring eyes of the “angels”, who are the embodiment of officially expressed sadism and emotional disconnection.

Angels represent, he says, meaning.  Demons, loss of meaning.  And laughter was invented by the demons in a spirit of mockery.

And we are subjected to an orgy conducted in a spirit of seriousness, of “meaningfulness”, which is disrupted by, in this context, demonic laughter.  A funeral, likewise.  A group of nudists, likewise, with Kundera ending his novel pining for a return to innocence, and basic human emotion undetermined by manias of any sort.

This is only my view, but in opinion Kundera was mocking the very people who praised him, most of whom, looking at the reviews, can be assumed to have been Leftists.  And he wrote in a spirit of bitterness and anger.  He was angry he lost his father, angry his country had lost the capacity for transcendent, meaningful music, and angry that petty sophists and superficial liars had so conquered it that vindictive and psychotic children were its future, and its past gone, erased, vanished, disappeared like Temina under the water, to be replaced by pop stars, by the then equivalent of Beyonce and J.Lo.  No: Lady Gaga, who indeed plays the same role today.

One of the continual surprises in studying the intellectual history of the past century is how often intellectuals are surprised when their “revolutions” go to shit.  Another is how often seemingly decent human beings excuse the inexcusable, as for example in the case of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, who was a modest supporter of Fidel Castro, and his rape of Cuba.

One of the characteristic features of Leftists–Progressives, as he calls them–is their lack of self reflection.  As he says, his Progressive “heroes” want to be out front, but not too far, and not in such a way that they can’t count on praise when some new denigration of social norms has been normalized.  One sees this very pattern today in America.  We haven’t quite gotten fully to efforts to normalize pedophilia, bestiality and necrophilia, but they must be on the way.  There is a list that must be traversed.  It has a psychotic logic.

But what they can’t see is when they are themselves mocked.  As he noted, Edwige always heard what she wanted to hear, not what he actually said or meant.  And that suited him fine.  He ends the novel in a group of naked people having an allegedly serious conversation about something close to nothing.  It is almost Seinfeldian.  He is, in my view, mocking them, and if he has little to say to most journalists, as I read, it is because he hates them.

As I say, this novel, which kills its heroine in an unpleasant, even horrific way, was in my view a big Fuck You both to the nation whose leaders betrayed everything good, and to the whole “Angelic” project outright, which of course I have often argued is in fact demonic.  I would in fact quibble with his own distinction, but won’t do so here.

I read he believed in all this–“we have to commit mass murder and gross injustice so that we can celebrate human happiness”–in his youth, and may even have informed on someone who subsequently spent many years in jail.  But I feel sure he was far beyond regret when he wrote all this.

Angels float, do they not?  What was apparently unbearable for him was floating like that, in that way, with those people, unconnected in any human way, so sure of themselves, so dismissive of the weight of history, of place, of what came before.

Floating was done in circles, in happy places, with happy people, not as a result of detaching from Earth in a mob.

Edit: Put another way, he signed on for dancing in circles as a means to flight, and his possibilities for angelic membership were reduced to playing games with demonic children.  Perhaps I am reading into this–I suppose we all insert our own stories into those of others, as he suggests, even while they are telling them–but I feel his frustrated idealism, and his longing to be having silly discussions with drunk poets.  That was something real; or in any event, it is something for which he seems nostalgic, as happens often with expatriates.  I likely speak for many in saying I myself feel like an expatriate in my own country.

He comments on how one of the Ministers fired 143 or so Professors of History.  It seems to me we don’t need to fire ANY in this country.  They stopped doing their work honestly decades ago.  And what they produce is predigested for our shrieking young, who are destined in most cases to never grow up, to never individuate, and to demand to be told what to do across their lives.  It certainly has already started.  I am an exile in time and place, an anachronism, a vestige of a time which was worse in some ways, but improvable.  Where we are headed, further progress will be impossible, and severe, large scale retrogression is certainly what is planned.

I don’t know why I do this to myself, or to you.  I can’t stop it.  But silence is hard for me too.  I circle around, I suppose, for fresh sets of wounds, but administered in different places, making the whole thing tolerable.

 

What it would take to rid your life of plastic.

It is good to walk a thousand miles in another person’s shoes, but little use if you have not first walked a thousand in your own.

Two wrongs may not make a right, but the first wrong provides useful context.

If the Abyss is a mirror, what is real lies beyond it.

 

My friends, and my enemies (for if I am asking nothing, I may as well address them too, since change being inevitable, both my friends and enemies may well change places), I float on in a current of shifting winds, buoying me up, heaving me down, pushing me this way, and then that way, and I wonder at it all.  I try to live in time, knowing its sole purpose is changing me into what I am not now, and that its mercy is also its cruelty.

To be master of your fate is to choose your wind and direction, knowing the fickleness of the first, and lacking a fully reliable compass to be sustained in the latter.  You can be master of nothing else.  This is Life.

A quote from this excellent volume:

The first step in liquidating a people, said Hubl, is to erase its memory.  Destroy its books, its culture, its history.  Then have somebody write new books, manufacture a new culture, invent a new history.  Before long the nation will begin to forget what it is and what it was.  The world around it will forget even faster.

And Kundera then asks: “. . .is it true that a nation cannot cross a desert of organized forgetting?”

From Part 6, The Angels, page 159 in my edition.  These comments follow other similar and relevant passages.

There are perhaps a half dozen red flags in all this COVID bullshit, things which should IMMEDIATELY tell any honest person that we are being manipulated.  We can debate who is organizing the manipulation, and to what precise end–although less freedom is the obvious direction–but not the fact of it.

Albert Camus, in “The Plague”, comments (I won’t excerpt the exact quote) when the plague first hit that none of them really knew how many people died of all causes in an average week, month, or year.  Yet, this is an obvious question, is it not?

As I have been saying over a year, about 2.8 million people die of something in the United States every year, so any death counts connecting to COVID need to be compared to and reconciled with this number.  As I have said on several occasions, if we list deaths “with” COVID–particularly if they are NOT EVEN TESTED, but assumed to be “with” COVID–as COVID related, virtually every old person who dies of old age can be added to the count.  Deaths, were our would-be rulers a bit bolder, could have been a million or more.  They could have floated over 2 million, with even more audacity.  No doubt meetings were held, and the specifics discussed.  In private, of course.  Invitation only, of course.  Plausibility Ueber Alles must have been the rough theme informing the decisions actually made.

But here is the specific point I wanted to make: epidemics are defined as a certain percentage of all deaths.  It’s, I think, 6 or 7 percent of all deaths.  If some transient cause inflates such that it seems to be killing 6%, say, of all people, that is called an epidemic.  If that epidemic is widespread enough geographically, it is called a pandemic.  That is my understanding.

Why, then, are the numbers not being cited as a percentage of the total?  Why?  Because they would be obviously trivial, and all the measures being taken seen as the tyrannical social and political engineering they are patently intended to be.

This “Delta” variant, IF IT EVEN EXISTS, seems to be both more contagious and less lethal.  The death rate “with” COVID may only be 1-2% of all deaths, which scarcely warrants ANY response at all, and the true death rate, calculated honestly, “OF” COVID is most likely some small fraction of 1%, and has been for some time–months at least.

This whole thing reeks of irresponsibility and contempt for ordinary people.  It seemingly assumes the willing or coerced complicity of the thousands of professionals who should be calling bullshit on all this, but who are afraid to speak up, or part of the gravy train.

All this is why I was so happy to see someone speaking of Collective Psychosis.  That is what this is.  No intelligent person with a solid high school education should be buying ANY of this.  It is a monstrosity, a crime against humanity.  It is a crime against intelligence and learning.

 

I am going to  permit myself some topical comments on current political atrocities.

Here, I want to point out that, 1) there is no specific test for the “Delta” Variant, which for all we know is a complete fiction; 2) that the PCR test, which was supposedly abandoned by the CDC as unreliable, and not suitable for the purpose–which is what its inventor had said in 2019–seems to still be the primary testing means, and source of the claim that “cases are on the rise”; and third, that those who have received this spike protein injection ARE NOT BEING TESTED, at least not routinely, which means that OF COURSE those testing positive, being a subset of those being tested period, will be disproportionately those who have chosen not to trust Big Pharma in this global medical experiment.  Under such conditions I could create an apparent pandemic among those wearing green shirts.  If I only tested people in Hoboken I could make it look like the most dangerous city on the planet.

Most people can’t do math, and don’t understand the basics.  Most people abandon common sense when it conflicts with what the people on the TV are telling them.

Please spend 20 minutes and watch that video presentation I posted yesterday.  This induced COVID panic, and following governmental aggressions against an innocent public, is TEXTBOOK Totalitarianism, and patent psychopathology.  I have been calling it madness for well over a year now.  That is what it is.  None of this makes sense.  None of it can be squared with honest science, or Rationality in any form.
