decades, right-wing anti-Semites have been incensed by the ZOG, or
Zionist Occupational Government, that they believe ruled America. Wilson
parodied that by imaginatively seeing America’s Drug Tsar as the direct
successor of the Russian Tsars, ignoring the US constitution, and
leading a Tsarist Occupational Government. Indeed, the story of a Nazi
spy with ties to Mystical Tsarism becoming the CIA’s major asset in
fighting the cold war with the Soviets begins this tale of America in
2002, at the start of America’s linguistically-challenged “War on
Terrorism.” “Humans at war with ideas” sits at the heart of this amusing
and disturbing volume where absurdity comes face to face with insanity.
In one chapter, Wilson considers why mass murderer Hannibal Lecter
would make a better president than George W Bush.</p>
<p>In examining the corroding effects of the American military-corporate
juggernaut, Robert Anton Wilson notes, “Some may think I regard the
Constitution as an almost sacred text. Not at all: I admit it has a few
defects and blemishes. I just consider it a hell of a lot better than
the system we have now.”</p>

There are, in all, 4,200 banking outlets, or one for every 1,300 people.”--<a href="http://content.time.com/time/subscriber/article/0,33009,839415,00.html" target="_blank">TIME, 1965</a>. </blockquote><blockquote>“The Grand Lodge Alpina is the largest Freemasonic lodge in Switzerland and therefore attracts much attention from anti-Masonic conspirirologists. European conspiracy buffs have long believed the GLA controls the finances of the Western World through the banks they own in Zurich, Basel, and Geneva.”--Robert Anton Wilson, Grand Lodge Alpina. <a href="https://www.harpercollins.com/products/everything-is-under-control-robert-a-wilson?variant=32117460041762">Everything Is Under Control.</a> (1998) pg. 210.</blockquote><p><br />As an avid reader of the late great trickster, Robert Anton Wilson, the phrase, “The Gnomes Of Zurich” has been burned into my neurons for over two decades. In my minds-eye, when I hear those three words I get flashes of the film Amelie and the kidnapped Gnome, mixed with blurred images of the Kabouter on the label of the strong Belgian beer, <i>La Chouffe</i>’ a meme of Gnome Chomsky and now a Gnome/<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandora_Papers">Pandora</a> mythical hybrid creature. <br /><br />Gnome entered our language by way of the Swiss alchemist <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paracelsus" target="_blank">Paracelsus</a>, and grew a little since the 19th century due to the fad of garden gnome statues, probably how most people encounter them in the wild. Gnomes are related to Dwarfs and sprites, to magic mushrooms and mischievous little people who fuck with you if you fuck with them. But it’s the Swiss species of Gnomes that interest us here, or the 1960’s British Labour M.P’s interpretation of Swiss Gnomes that resulted in their comparison with secretive underground Swiss bankers. <br /><br />Mischievous little men in underground bunkers, weaponsmiths, guards of gold mines, and other mines. This mixing of metaphors creates a toxic gaseous mixture, indeed, I’d say something that would piss the Gnomes right off. Using them as scapegoats for very simply put...bad and sad greedy men who seize power by any means and adore private men’s clubs, Rolex watches and whiskey. <br /><br />The term Gnomes Of Zurich was minted on record by Labour M.P George Brown in 1964, which by osmosis soon appeared to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Wilson">Harold Wilson</a>’s speeches, charging a secretive Swiss banker cabal of selling Britain short and pushing the value of the Pound down. “More powerful than all the governments of Europe” Harold once said. What were the public to make of these mysterious Gnomes? What if they'd been called the Dwarfs Of Zuruch? (Ask's the MGT) <br /><br />Like any seemingly new idea, minted into the public arena, Swiss Bankers and other bankers and their secretive (for profit) practices, disruption and questionable collaborations have been tracked and addressed by a small but significant lineage of brave independent investigative journalists. Give thanks to those bringing scrutiny and meaningful critique.<br /><br />Wilson recommend some early-mid 20th century economists C.H Douglas, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silvio_Gesell">Silvio Gessel</a>, John Maynard Keynes, plus the economic ideas of Buckminster Fuller and Karl Popper, (social credit a.k.a universal basic income) to add clarity to a <a href="https://www.icij.org/investigations/pandora-papers/global-investigation-tax-havens-offshore/">critique of international unrestricted finance capital</a>. As a counter perspective to the premise of these banker conspiracies to put public funds into private pockets with exceptionalism (offshore tax loopholes) and a mostly male underground culture of secret societies and private members groups. Priviliged to the highest degree. <br /><br />I suspect R.A.W was drawn to the term Gnomes Of Zurich for a number of reasons. Firstly, he devoured literature on folk history, mythical tales, phenomenology and magical entities. Gnomes are a somewhat popular manifestation and continued folkloric tradition in gardens worldwide. Iconic. RAW commented, or joked that he was no relation to UK Prime Minister Harold Wilson, when rapping on Gnomes. Typically in RAW's writing and speech, the GOZ are one group of suspiciously secretive entities at play in his operatic investigative performance, more than 40 years deep. Gnomes also thread into RAWs on-going research into the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Lodge_Alpina_of_Switzerland">Grand Lodge Alpina</a>, and “alp” has significance to fans of James Joyce’s masterpiece Finnegans Wake, alp represents the ubiquitous feminine entity Anna Livia Plurabella. I digress. RAW ties this together neatly in his book <a href="http://www.hilaritaspress.com/portfolio-item/coincidance-a-head-test/" target="_blank">Coincidance: A Head Test</a>, which I highly recommend. <br /><br /><b>Pandora's Buried Box </b><br /><br />In light of the <a href="https://www.icij.org/investigations/pandora-papers/global-investigation-tax-havens-offshore/">Pandora Papers leak/release</a>, we can bridge some time gaps in this epic narrative horror. Surfing in the wake of unrestricted international finance capitalism. Bankers, spies, oligarchs and kleptocrats operate within the laws they create and outside of them. This much seems clear to me.<br />What the Pandora papers show, after a first brief reading of some articles--and I feel is important for all researchers to keep in mind--is the international reach of these elite bad-money actors. Not only Swiss, most of Europe, America, Russia, Arabia, the nationality of the bad actors is not the focus here, get a grip! It’s the criminality and the greed, the dodging of regulation, the dodging of paying a fair-share of tax, the collaboration with violence prone thieves from all parts of the world, that I feel needs to be addressed, curtailed. <br /></p><p>Like the <a href="https://money.cnn.com/2016/05/06/technology/panama-papers-search/index.html">Panama Papers</a> previously, the Pandora Papers are a part of the tale of the tribe, the once hidden counter-forces, highly funded and manipulating world-around economies, finance, culture and politics, the polar opposite of the artistic endeavour to tell this tale honestly for the benefit of all the people and the general heart. <br /><br />Today, 23 years after RAW published Everything Is Under Control, the latest findings from the <a href="https://www.icij.org/investigations/pandora-papers/global-investigation-tax-havens-offshore/">Pandora Papers </a>seem to confirm aspects of these pre-existing banking and finance conspiracies, operating in the present day (2021). This quote from a feature on Fidinam criss-crosses with Angleton’s operations traced by <a href="http://rawilson.com/tsog/">RAW in his essay TSOG</a>. <br />“One of Fidinam’s longtime clients, Delfo Zorzi, was under investigation for decades for his alleged involvement in two deadly terror attacks: a 1969 Milan bank bombing that killed 16 people and a 1974 bombing, also in Italy, that left eight people dead. He fled to Japan shortly after the second attack and became a successful fashion entrepreneur.”--<span id="docs-internal-guid-18e69691-7fff-753c-a181-fc6b84adcc0a" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">ICIJ, <a href="https://www.icij.org/investigations/pandora-papers/switzerland-fidinam-wealth-management-money-laundering/">Leak reveals how Swiss wealth consultants shield global cast of suspects.</a></span><br /><br />This perspective on Swiss banking practices from a BBC News item (2010), sprawls out and down, into the horrors of WW2, begging the question who benefits? <br /></p><blockquote>“The secretive Swiss were seen as helping ruthless international capitalists and dictators avoid taxes and protect their wealth. In World War II, neutral Switzerland appeared to help Nazi Germany financially, while taking deposits from Jewish victims of the Holocaust. It failed to return many of the assets after the war and in recent years some Swiss banks have agreed multi-million pound settlements with families to avoid being sued.--Why Are Swiss Bankers Called Gnomes? <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/8534936.stm">BBC, 2010</a>. </blockquote>One way to help bring scrutiny to these entities is to support independent investigative journalists and those who exhibit integrity and brevity while uncovering facts and sharing them. It strikes me that most but not all 2021 popular conspiracy culture is stuck in supernatural goo, oversimplified fantasy and outright crazy, as if Netflix shapes the majority of global perspectives on conspiracies, aliens, Covid, serial killers and MK Ultra. Although there are a handful of documentaries (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inside_Job_(2010_film)">Inside Job</a>,) and fictional renditions of global banking conspiracies (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Big_Short">The Big Short</a>), I feel that there should be way more of them. Every one of these stories from the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandora_Papers">Pandora Papers</a> deserves a non-fictional documentary feature, and a series of fictional interpretations to help get at the truth and the occulted history of international finance capital at its worst. <br /><br />I hope not to come across as banker bashing here, I’ve known bankers who have been very kind and decent people. To put on their leather shoes for a moment, no doubt many people would make the choices they make in the tricky positions they are in, bankers are not exclusively all bad actors. Browse the Pandora papers and make up your own mind, and if you wish to dive down a rabbit hole or two, latch onto <a href="http://www.hilaritaspress.com/catalog/">Robert Anton Wilson’s research based thinking</a> on the history of international finance and practice his recommended techniques for better processing of information: linguistic relativity, falsification, model agnosticism, maybe logic, semantic hygiene, good cheer! It's a jungle out there, take care. Be good to each other. <br /><br />--Fly <br /><blockquote>“In David Yallop’s anti-Vatican blockbuster “In God’s Name,” he alleges several suspicious links between the P2 conspiracy in Italy and the Grand Lodge Alpina.” <br />“Other writers on P2 agree that it took money from both the KGB and the CIA, had over 900 agents in the Italian government, used the Vatican Bank to launder Mafia and CIA drug money, fomented fascism in Latin America, and was allegedly plotting a fascist coup in Italy when, after the mysterious deaths of ringleaders Roberto Calvi and Michele “The Shark” Sindona, the whole house of cards came tumbling down.”<br />--Grand Lodge Alpina. Everything Is Under Control. (1998) pg. 210.<br /><br />"From this story has grown the idiom "to open a Pandora's box", meaning to do or start something that will cause many unforeseen problems. A modern, more colloquial equivalent is "to open a <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/can_of_worms">can of worms</a>"<br /><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandora%27s_box">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandora%27s_box<br /><br /></a></blockquote><blockquote>"I am not an enemy of funding systems.... But every bank of<br />discount, every bank by which interest is to be paid or profit of<br />any kind made by the deponent, is downright corruption. It is<br />taxing the public for the benefit and profit of individuals; it is<br />worse than the old tenor, continental currency, or any other paper<br />money...--John Adams, Letter to Benjamin Rush, 1811.<br /></blockquote><p></p>Steve Fly Agarichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15471582582737353275noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984195503230305703.post-17440457307990979692020-11-03T07:50:00.000+00:002020-11-03T07:50:12.152+00:00Support Your Artists To Strengthen Your National Security<p> </p><h1 class="entry-title" style="border: 0px;

(not if you base it on my income) many of us, if you hadn’t noticed, are not in this for the money and fame. This is a therapy for our friends, family, extended audience, our perceived enemies and above all therapy for ourselves, as all else flows forward from self. Until the government fully supports creative arts properly, in all sectors (during a pandemic or not) citizens will be wide open to foreign state interference and the toxic tip of disinformation. <br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /> <br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />I used to joke twenty years ago that the local Job Center should make “Job Seeker Records” due to the fact all the musicians I knew were either signing on or had to keep a day job to support their artistic calling. DJs were lucky to get twenty quid from a gig, often paying to play when organizing their own events, independently and paying to release their music with little hope of commercial success, exclusive dubplate culture among DJ’s was not for profit. Those who were fortunate to get signed with an advance, equal to the money earned from a regular 9-5 job, were not viable in their home town and enticed to the largest city nearby, or London. In the 1990s I witnessed successful people moving away from their nests to larger cities where the action, the work and the money are at. This sad fact seems wrong-headed and would be unnecessary if local support were provided. The consolidation of industries under the neoliberal surge in the 1990s is responsible for driving creative talent away from where it is currently required most, home. <br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />If big tech and government and the music industry wanted to solve this they’d create a local infrastructure to support/fund creative arts, business with the same effort and pride with which they support the international finance sector, the arms manufacture sector. Yes, artists and creative industries need the money to pay rent and eat and survive, yet at the same time, we could all benefit from a new relationship between the arts and commerce, where the state and its corporate backers come together to support a decentralized and rotational network of independent artists, capable of being seen and heard equally with market giants like Ed Sheeran…without having to resort to Apple Google Facebook Amazon and Spotify for all their distribution and licensing. <br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Most but not all artists and creatives I know are left-leaning, it comes with the territory of open sincere exploration and experiment, the opposite of absolute conclusive conservatism. I get the sense that the current hard-right conservative government in the UK enjoys bashing the left and creative arts culture, an excuse to underfund, look away and inflict intentional suffering. This is nothing new since the 1960s and 1970s the Tories have attacked the liberal arts, working-class creative culture and generally they supported massive corporate takeovers and consolidation of the music business industry (Labour too), up to its current domination by the five big tech companies and two or three major labels.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Every artist I know has questioned and fought for independence, probably with more passion in the early days, “we’re never gonna’ sell-out or play that pants commercial shit” type attitudes. Then they get married, have a family and play in a Ted Nuget cover band at retirement homes. I’m not judging, but there remains an underground, experimental, abstract…in it for the sheer exhilaration of making it new every time, authenticity in great art and artists. The attitude and life of Thelonious Monk as opposed to Jeff Bezos, to make a stark contrast. <br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />I’ve two suggestions, start-up local “Job Seeker Records” imprints, modelled as if you were funded by the state. (See <span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-style: italic; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Scarfolk Council </span>for examples) Demonstrate how much future creativity lies dormant and untapped. My second suggestion is more on a personal level, try to support people in their early artistic endeavours and experiments, encourage the following of one’s intuition in combination with healthy research, study and practice. As many great musicians and artists repeat, music is a therapy for them, the process is part of the journey, the destination unknown and when the voyage is over when you find yourself with your creation, is only a part of the creative process. To campaign for keeping governments, the recording industry and finance rotational and decentralized should not be exclusive with leftwing politics, but the progressive movement toward an equal humane society of self-owning ones, united in a common process of sharing resources, intelligence, imagination and beneficial tools worldwide.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />The Covid-19 Pandemic has brought us all into a world that musicians have been familiar with for decades, the recession of bands, labels and funding, tours, independent venues, and markets due to consolidation by big tech and the major labels. IF…artists had thriving and viable systems based on the Bandcamp model for example, in conjunction with grants and support from the multiple billions in profits generated by the likes of Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music and their shareholders, they could thrive and create freely without having to worry about paying rent, eating and/or paying medical bills and health expenses. These would be first world benefits of living in Great Britain, America, and some of the other richest most technologically advanced societies on earth, and most importantly the artistic productions would be subsidized to become freely available for everybody on earth!<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Yes, art and music should be FREE, FREEDOM! But only with the support and subsidy provided by the state and corporations taking the cream off the top and giving very little back. Universal Basic Income would already cover the immediate challenges to most of the people I’m concerned about here, it has a similar result, not starving and having the means for self-therapy that can be shared with others, a win-win in any caring society. This new vision I’m riffing on (dreaming about) would also benefit a nation’s identity and status on the world stage, bringing altruism, equality and balance to a nation’s entertainment-media ecology. Instead of the Euro-Vision song contest, we need something more like the Eurovision–who supported the most artists to create the most songs, which in turn created the most shared revenue and employment for that nation–competition? <br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Local bands and local folk music, experimental non-commercial music must have an equal footing in the mediasphere with Justin Beiber, Lady Gaga and Kanye West. The audience can still choose to tune into whatever they wish, but they feel warm in their hearts that the creative arts are open and seductive as a viable career for some, a form of therapy and community for others. Either way, it is subsidized, so no need to second guess. To trust that taxes and all working communities everywhere are happy to support the arts in equal measure with the rest of the economy, ballooning with finance, arms manufacture and pharmaceutical trade. Those who claim that funding the military and army and navy is more important than the arts do not understand or do not want to understand the current battlespace of disinformation warfare. Art and creative industries like gaming have been hijacked from creative artists and weaponized to support populist hard-right movements, see Pepe the frog, Trump 2016 and the Vote Leave campaigns for appropriation of art in service of anything but support for artists. <br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Imagine if Banksy were foreign secretary, Stephen Fry Prime Minister, Brian Cox and Roger Penrose as education ministers, Jamie Oliver as Health minister, Gary Lineker as minister for sport, James O’ Brien as minister for communications. Why not? They’re arguable the best at managing those domains. <br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />How have people ended up voting for the dullest most blatant liars and cheats, while going further than not supporting artists and creatives, attacking them and joining the hard right in stereotyping them as the enemy in their vulture culture warfare. <br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />I’d like to continue this thought with the hope of refining some points and counter-arguments.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />–Steve Fly (29/10/2020)<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><a href="https://www.patreon.com/stevefly" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c7c7c; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out; vertical-align: baseline;">https://www.patreon.com/stevefly</a><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: 18px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 27px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><a href="https://www.musicweek.com/opinion/read/viewpoint-mark-davyd-on-the-battle-to-reopen-every-venue-safely/081590" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c7c7c; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out; vertical-align: baseline;">https://www.musicweek.com/opinion/read/viewpoint-mark-davyd-on-the-battle-to-reopen-every-venue-safely/081590</a></p></div>Steve Fly Agarichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15471582582737353275noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984195503230305703.post-60272990919179286222020-06-04T11:17:00.000+01:002020-06-04T11:17:45.370+01:00How The CIA learned to rock by Jeet Heer (excerpt)<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #111111; font-family: "Mercury Display A", "Mercury Display B"; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; vertical-align: baseline; word-spacing: 0.3px;">

As an undergraduate at Yale, he wrote verse and, more impressively, coedited the literary journal <em style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Furioso</em>, which published poets like E.E. Cummings, Ezra Pound, and William Carlos Williams.<br />Angleton was an aesthete turned tormentor. The two facets of his personality were combined in disturbing ways. His literary sensibility was nurtured on the close reading taught by the New Criticism, with William Empson’s classic <em style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Seven Types of Ambiguity</em> (1930) being an especially formative influence. Empson taught Angleton that no line of poetry had just one meaning, that the job of the reader was to squeeze out every ambiguity and hidden implication. Angleton notoriously applied this methodology to the interrogation of Soviet defectors, never taking them at face value but constantly pressuring them to reveal their covert intentions, always postulating that they might be double agents, and sometimes torturing them.<br />Strange as it may seem, Angleton’s use of high modernism for spycraft was hardly unique. The CIA in its first few decades was led by Ivy League eggheads. Angelton’s protégé Cord Meyer often hired literary critics from <em style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Kenyon Review</em>, an organ of the New Criticism, to work as spies.</blockquote>

<br />
No matter where you are on earth, I sincerely wish you good luck with tackling this new virus, and that you can help work together with everybody else in defeating it, slowing the spread, flattening the curve, keeping a two-meter distance between each other, not to overcrowd or stress the already...stressed medical services.<br />
<br />
Sadly, yes... I’m sure you've seen and heard the tsunami of conspiracy theories based around the novel coronavirus. I’m usually in a more playful mood to tackle these difficult issues, with luck, bringing clarity to the situation, while at the same time defining my thoughts and educated guesses, and exploring my prejudice. Excuse me while I hold my nose and swim in the sewage and report back. <br />
<br />
I noticed that groups who previously held particular beliefs modified and updated them to now feature Covid 19. A new reason to hate foreigners or to connect and love your neighbours. One example is the far-right Italian politician Matteo Salvini, who was quick to point the finger at immigrants, missing the fact it was religious tourists (if you were to make a sweeping generalization) who were, statistically, responsible for the rapid spread in Italy. Two of his own bodyguards were reported to be infected with the virus.<br />
<br />
If I were to examine myself, I can track a similar train of thought but following my thoughts to the Conservative Party and their VoteLeave campaign and Brexit...existing systems of beliefs. I have constructed models over the last four years from which I can now build my conspiracy theory. And I admit it, it’s a theory, right. One example involves alt-right Pound shop Machiavelli Dominic Cummings, the brains behind both VoteLeave and Herd Immunity. Millions of people have raised huge concerns about Boris Johnson’s Chief advisor who, like American far-right one-time advisor to Donald Trump, Steve Bannon, leaves a trail of destruction, lies and disinformation only topped by Putin himself. How this disinformation compares with that of China must be evaluated by that great Disinfo-meter you have in your shed! A hell of a lot of liars on the world stage, let’s settle at that. So who do we trust? Stephen Fry, James O’Brien or other reliable upstanding Brits, capable of listing this giant ball of dung? No, many slouch toward Farage and those very scoundrels who sold you the lies that now, have increased the probability that you or your friends or your family could die as a result.<br />
<br />
My own guess at a conspiracy, if I were to be so stupid as to use that term these days, or my series of not too well known guesses, goes like this: the third week in November 2019 a novel coronavirus jumped from either a bat or pangolin, or chimera of the two, to humans, probably due to the horrific conditions found at exotic meat-markets in the Wuhan district of China. The Chinese authorities, like most but not all across the planet in 2019, acted slowly and in secrecy at first, shutting down whistleblowers and any who tried to spread the news about how dangerous this new strain is, or any dissenters. Right here...I ask myself if it would have broken out in a disgusting meat-processing plant in Britain how would the response have been? Far far worse in my opinion, based on Brexit, the 2019 UK general election and the current foggy moggy guidelines Cumming, out of number 10.<br />
<br />
….to continue, by February, Dominic Cummings has done his sickly sordid homework and consulted his network of suicide-germ-bombers (possibly including his Russian and American equivalents) and is fully prepared to propose Herd Immunity strategy to the Tory party and only the Tory party. Unwilling to share ANYTHING with other scientists, health professionals, data analysts, security analysts, MI5? 6? Either way, his Herd Immunity was taken as the policy for weeks and weeks, and arguably, right there, his work is done. That’s the conspiracy. My best guess, from a UK perspective, of the probable conspiracy to cull the population of Britain. Just like America. There is one man at the epicenter, his name is Dominic Cumings. May future generations never forget this man, and how he was let into power over the realm and how he may have single-handedly murdered somebody you knew. Okay. As you were.<br />
<br />
A Chinese telecommunications giant, Hwaiwai, has been in the news long before Covid-19 adding to any existing Xenophobia and racism, in Britain. I repeat...existing racism and Xenophobia. Together with the proposed introduction of 5G networks across Britain and the world over the last three years or so, has come a gaggle of conspiracies. Many of which are pushed by popular mouth-pieces, now legendary for their big claims and little scientific criticism, both of the material and themselves. The alt-right and some other outliers, have already got behind such spurious claims like 5G networks send out frequencies that mess with your cells and immune system. Nonsense as far as I can tell, but a vacuum of nonsense where many fear to tread, and where the alt-right recruit the gullible and angry and nasty to do their bidding to stay stupid.<br />
<br />
What is the alt-left conspiracy? The WHO and the UN and the E.U and NATO and Russia and China? Soros? Corbyn? Every and any major power structure that is not, alt-right or under control of the far-right...is to blame. Soros and Hilary and the Democrats and Bernie and Corbyn and...Macron? Merkel? How many power structures and deep-state forces? How many are wrestling for battle space supremacy now? Complexity and chaos upon the complex and disorder. Who are you? Are you equipped to reach a meaningful conclusion? And me? Here we are, each and every one of us trying to unravel world history and the cause and effect and the blame and emotions fight, to suppress suspended judgement and the urge to act.<br />
<br />
The same liars and morons who sold Brexit and VoteLeave have sold Herd Immunity too. Many of those currently grazing, based on scenes around Dudley...are sadly going to physically feel the effect of their lack of critical thinking and that old nugget, common sense. The anger and frustration is in the fact that many others will suffer and die due to this thick-as-two-short-planks approach championed by the Vote Leave campaign. <br />
<br />
That same Xenophobia and racism is still alive and kicking, quickly mutating hate faster than the virus itself, switching to projecting their own insecurity to Asians and those communist Chinese. Some of the stupid and nasty alt-right “I’m all right Jack” “Take back control” morons in the UK are adopting the blame China gang. With a degrading flurry of conspiracies that point the finger at any and all who are not them, the 5G conspiracies and the Wuhan bio-weapon conspiracies, and then the deep-state model that fits their view of the world. The Russians did it, the Chinese did it, the Americans did it. Each of these conspiracies disregards the fact that the virus, most probably, jumped from animals to humans in late November 2019. I guess the reason is in part anthropocentric, putting MAN at the centre of all things. Joining the fundamentalist religious people in blind-faith, unable to come up with a design science solution, or take on board the probability that nobody, no group, is IN CONTROL. Uncertainty rules okay.<br />
<br />
People in the UK spitting at Police and Doctors, and purposefully spreading this virus, they are the same right-wing hooligans who have been fucking up the country for years. They must be stopped, quickly. NO left-leaning political activist or Labour-supporting activist I know would ever SPIT at somebody to give them a life-threatening virus and help spread it. This suicidal approach is the domain of the alt-right, from my experience with the psychology of these selfish morons, together with pushing fake news and computer-viruses and other tools of chaos and disruption, thinking that they are “sticking it to the elites” when really they are sticking it to their own grandparents and perhaps the whole family, who knows?<br />
<br />
I do not know either, these are my educated guesses. I’ll get back to poetry and prose rich in happy optimistic thoughts now I have got some of this gunk off my chest. I sincerely hope this does not end up like the purge, however, I can bet you that in the UK and the USA some but not all news outlets will cover stories as if it were. <br />
<br />
The far-right alt-right elements, and all political extremism and ideological racism need to be considered a top priority by any government interested in its future. These people and their toxic ideology need to be quarantined indefinitely, the safety and future of all humanity depend on it. Emergency services across the world need to be prepared for such a violent outbreak and have detention centres equipped to deal with these lunatics separately to others who may have caused disturbances or broken curfew rules but are not CRAZY enough as wanting to infect everybody, based on the Cumings/Bannon Herd Immunity strategy. <br />
<br />
How do you tell them apart? Mostly male, between ages 30 and 50, have a potbelly, balding and have tattoos and/or football tattoos, speak in paraphrases from the Daily Mail and The Sun newspapers. Have a tendency to wear baseball hats and flat caps, often items of Stone Island clothing, or Louis Vitton, may wear black sunglasses of the small “data from star-trek” variety. Shouting “take back control” “we’ll be okay, the spirit of the blitz.” I’ve rolled up all my own prejudice and translated them into non-scientific observations based upon my own experiences. No science here. This is my prejudice on show. <br />
<br />
Naked, I stand before you. This is my conspiracy theory, my best-educated guess. What's your's? Weapons lab in China....what? Usually, and most of my days I write and play music and make music and share music and art...my best guesses lead me to invest time in creating light and sweetness and beauty in the face of ugliness and pessimism and anger, leading to hate...you know how it goes.<br />
<br />
Forgive my prejudice and give me the strength to forgive any of those I deem responsible. <br />
I love you all, just not equally, and some of that love I hope makes some of you feel uncomfortable in your skin knowing you let it sit dormant, my love can come with fierce blessings.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: sans-serif,FreeSans,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"><b>How to Live Eleven Days in 24 Hours</b></span><br /><b>by Robert Anton Wilson</b><br /><a href="http://www.kelsung.com/calendar/RAW.htm" target="new">http://www.kelsung.com/calendar/RAW.htm</a><br /><br /></div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: #fffff6;">
<small>Special to <span style="color: red;"><b>L. Neil Smith's</b></span> <i>The Libertarian Enterprise<br /></i></small><br />
For about a year now, I have dated all my letters with my own no-bias multi-cultural calendar. Of course, I know a multi-cultural chronology seems very Politically Correct, but don't let that shock you. I happen to agree with the P.C. cult about many things. In fact, I only differ with them in not liking their intolerance, their fascist tactics, their introduction of Maoist brainwashing to our groves of Academe, and their utter lack of humor or ordinary common sense. Aside from those issues, I almost approve the P.C. agenda.<br /><br />
Actually, I started using a single non-Western calendar back in 1969-71 when working on <i>Illuminatus</i> with Bob Shea. I had realized that the Gregorian calendar, the standard Occidental system, dates everything from the alleged birth of a comic-book super-hero I regarded as fictitious. He supposedly had a virgin for mother, a pigeon for father, and cured the blind by throwing dirt in their eyes. You can see why I had doubts.<br />
<br />But dating everything, <i>a la</i> Pope Gregory, not only subliminally conditions to us to the mythology of the Vatican, but also divides written history artificially in the middle, creating a certain off- kilter view of how things actually transpired since neolithic times.<br />
<br />For instance, in the Gregorian calendar, the first Egyptian dynasty began c. 3400 "B.C.", the founding of Rome 509 "B.C." and the nomination of the boar hog Pigasus for President of the U.S. in 1968 "A.D." To try to escape the Papist trap here by writing "B.C.E.," before the Common Era, and "C.E.,"the Common Era," doesn't really help much. We still remain stuck in the Romish reality tunnel.<br />
<br />Even worse side effects of the Gregorian calendar arise when you try to sense the time span covered in the dates just mentioned. It requires hard thinking, a historical imagination and even, for those as close to senility as myself, possible paper and pencil work. In the Illuminati calendar, however, these events fall into place in a single timeline: Egypt's first dynasty begins around 600 A.L., the founding of Rome 3491 A.L. and the apotheosis of Pigasus 5968 A.L. (A.L., as in Masonry, means Anno Lumina—year of light.) Fill in a few more dates—Hassan I Sabbah illuminated 5092 A.L., Native Americans discover Columbus 5492 A.L., U.S. Declaration of Independence 5776 A.L., Noble Drew Ali born 5886 A.L.—and history begins to make sense as a single orderly sequence, not bent in the middle.<br />
<br />The Illuminati chronology (year one A.L. or 4000 BCE Gregorian) begins with the birth of Hung Mung, the ancient Chaoist (pre-Taoist), Chinese philosopher who answered all questions by shouting loudly, "I don't know! I don't know!" Thus, this system begins with a date around the first dawnings of civilization and writing, and allows us to see all history as a single sequence, not interrupted by an artificial minus- to-plus changeover to commemorate the god of a single weird cult.<br />
<br />As I say, I worked all this out, including the five seasons of the Illuminati year, back in 5969/5971 A.L.—just as "the sixties" died under the clubs and tear gas of the Nixon counter-revolution. Only c. 5992 A.L. after discovering Noble Drew Ali and the Moorish Science Temple, did I realize that any <b>one</b> calendar, even my own lovely Illuminati chronolog, imposes a <i>single</i> order on a <i>complex</i> system, and thereby has reductionist and almost totalitarian implications, at least subliminally. I therefore have switched to a multi-cultural system which, I dare to think, adequately represent what historian Crane Brinton called the growing <i>multanimity</i> (as distinguished from <i>unanimity</i>) of Spaceship Earth today.<br />
<br />For instance, in my multicultural calendars the date on which I began writing this article looks as shown below :<br />
<blockquote>
Poundian—19 Artemis, 72 p.s. U.<br />
Thelemic—19 September, Anno XC<br />
'Pataphysical—12 Absolu, 122 E.P.<br />
French Revolutionary—Le Travail, 202<br />
Islamic—12 Rabi-2, 1373 A.H.<br />
Gregorian—19 September 1994 C.E.<br />
Erisian—43 Bureaucracy, 3178 y.C.<br />
Chinese—15th day of the 8th month, Year of the Dog 4692<br />
Mayan—6 Reed, 5106<br />
Hebrew—14 Tishri, 5755 A.M.<br />
Illuminati—43 Beamtenherrschaft, 5994 A.L.</blockquote>
A few quick, and valuable lessons, immediately leap out of this chronolog .<br />
First of all, the much touted "Millenium" only appears close in some calendars, and remains e.g. 245 years off in the Hebrew, 798 years away in the 'Pataphysical, etc.<br />
<br />Second, when I called this system <i>mine</i> I did not intend to brag, but to indicate personal limitations and emic realities: many alternatives can exist, at the preference of the user. You can drop the Chinese and Mayan, if you want, or add the Tibetan and Aztec, etc. Personally, I would love to include Wiccan and Druidic dating systems, if somebody would find them or create them.<br />
A few additional words of explanation:<br />
<br />The Poundian calendar, designed by Ezra Pound, attempts to define the post-Christian era and dates everything from 31 October 1921 (Gregorian)—the date Joyce wrote the last words of <i>Ulysses</i>.[*] (The "p.s.U." means <i>post scriptum Ulysses</i>, "after the writing of <i>Ulysses</i>.") I November 1921, accordingly, becomes 1 Hephaistos in the year 1 p.s.U. The year has 6 male months for the solar phallic male gods (Hephaistos, Zeus, Saturn, Hermes, Mars, Phoebus, i.e. in Gregorian, November, December, January, February, March and April) and 6 female months for the lunar female goddesses (Kupris, Juno, Athene, Hestia, Artemis, Demeter i.e. in Gregorian May, June, July, August September and October.) In this system, we have progressed 72 years into the post-Christian epoch and will soon enter the 73rd.<br />
<br />For those who have other ideas about when the post-Christian era began, the Thelemic calendar dates everything from 1904 Gregorian, when Aleister Crowley received, or conceived <i>The Book of the Law</i>. That makes this the year 90, which like all years gets written Latin style by Thelemites—Anno XC. For some reason, Crowley did not rename the months, so I keep the Gregorian month names here.<br />
<br />As a multiculturalist, I play no favorites. In one sense, we have evolved 72 years beyond the Christ cult, and in another sense we have evolved 90 years. As Sri Syadasti said, "All systems are true in some sense, false in some sense, meaningless in some sense, true and false in some sense, true and meaningless in some sense, false and meaningless in some sense, and true and false and meaningless in some sense." A secret Illuminati teaching holds that if you repeat that 666 times, you will achieve Total Illumintaion, in some sense.<br />
<br />For those who agree that we have entered the 'Pataphysical Era, I include the 'Pataphysical calendar, starting from Alfted Jarry's birth on 8 September 1873. (He shares the 8 September birthday with the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Catholic mythos and Molly Bloom in the Joycean mythos. 'Pataphysically that "coincidence" must mean <i>something</i>.) Thus every 'Pataphysical year begins on Jarry's birthday, renamed 1 Absolu, and proceeds through 13 months of 29 days each (Absolu, Maha, As, Sable, Decervelage, Gueles, Pedale, Clinamen, Palotin, Merdre, Gidouille, Tatane and Phalle.) Since each week has seven days and each month four weeks, and 7 x 4 = 28, we have one extra day each month. We call these days "imaginary" by analogy with imaginary numbers. Every month starts on a Sunday, which simplifies the system and ensures that the 13th will always fall on a Friday. As UFO sightings, UFO abductions, poltergeists, Bigfoot encounters and falls of fish and frogs get reported more and more often, many may find the 'Pataphysical calendar the most plausible of all. As Jarry said, all other sciences deal with generalization, but 'Pataphysics deals only with the exceptional.<br />
<br />The French Revolutionary calendar dates everything from 1792 Gregorian, and as I write this amid the five Sansculotides or feast days (Les Vertus, Le Genie, Le Travail, L'Opinion and Les Recompenses, i.e. Virtues, Genius, Labor, Blather and Wages. No month name gets used. In three days (22 September) the month of Vendemaire, in the year 203 begins, followed by Brumaire, Frimaire, Nivose, Pluvose, Ventose, Germinal, Floreal, Prairial, Messidor, Thermidor and Frustidor. (i.e. Vintage, Fog, Sleet, Snow, Rain, Wind, Sprouts, Flowers, Pasture, Harvest, Heat, Fruit—a good description of a year in Paris).<br />
<br />The Islamic calendar begins with the flight of the prophet (<i>hejira</i>) in the year 4621 A.L. (621 Gregorian). A.H. means after the Hejira, the usual abbreviation used by Muslims writing in English; this year thus becomes 1373 A.H. You can look up the months in any encyclopedia. I don't intend to do all the work for you, and if I did, this article would run longer than the editors want.<br />
<br />You already know the Gregorian calendar. It gets drummed into our heads in our allegedly "secular" "public" schools and everybody in our society who holds power—banks, corporations, even governments—uses it. My system intends to break the conditioning/hypnosis created by this artificial uniformity.<br />
<br />The Erisian calendar, which we owe to the sublime genius of Malclypse the Younger, dates events from 2816 A.L. (1184 BCE, Gregorain), the year of the Original Snub. If you don't know about the Original Snub, go thou and read Mal's <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1559500409/webleywebdesignk/" target="new"><i>Principia Discordia</i></a>, from Loompanics Unlimited in Port Townsend, Washington, wherein you will find the Snub, together with the Golden Apple, the Trojan War, and everything else in the universe, explained once and for all. Each year has five seasons, representing the five degrees of SNAFU imposed upon us by the Original Snub—Chaos, Discord, Confusion, Bureaucracy and International Relations. That gives us 73 days to each season, which equals one Chockmah day in Cabala. Herein the Wise and Subtle will find a profound secret hidden, if they can Know, and Dare, and Will and Keep Silence. Every fourth year, of course, we run into that damned extra day that also perplexes the Gregorians. We Erisians call it St. Tibb's Day, since everybody now agrees that St. Tibb never existed.<br />
<br />The Chinese calendar makes more sense than any of the others, but I find it too complex to explain in full. You look it up, eh? Meanwhile, rest satisfied that we now live in the year 4692, and you don't have to worry about any damned Millenium for another 308 years.<br />
<br />I find the Mayan calendar even more perplexing, but keep it on my letters because I like the names of the days: Crocadile, Night, Snake, Deer, Jade, Monkey, Reed, Eagle, Thought, Storm, Wind, Net, Death, Rabbit, Dog, Tooth, Jaguar, Wax, Knife, Hunter. Sort of sounds like my last acid trip. This year counts as 5106 of this cycle, but numerous cycles roll on and on and do not necessarily end in 2012 Gregorian, whatever you may have heard; that may just mark the opening of another mega-cycle.<br />
<br />You can look up the Hebrew dating system for yourself, too. Really, do you think you can learn anything important without personal effort?<br />
<br />The Illuminati years you already know. The five seasons have the names Verwirrung, Zweitracht, Unordnung, Beamtennherrwschaft and Realpolitik, each 73 days long. Like the Gregorians and Erisians, we thus have an extra day dangling loose every four years. We call it Heiligefliegendekindersheissetag, and it has rituals that beat all hell out of Saint Tibb's Day.<br />
<br />The beauty of this multicultural system, to me, resides in its total lack of allegience to any one emic reality, and in its conditioning the users to think in comparative realities. Thus, to most Americans, December 25 means Christ-mass and even the atheists feel dragged into the Reality Grid of the Romish cult. But on my multiple calendar system, the same date appears in many guises—as 25 Zeus, 72 p.s.U. or as 25 December Anno XC or as 25 Sable 122 E.P. or as 5 Nivose, 203, or as 22 Rajab, 1373 A.H. or as 67 International Relations, 3178 y.C., or as the 22nd day of the 11th month, 4692, or as 11 Dog, 5106, , or as 23 Teves 5755 A.M., or as 67 Realpolitik, 5994 A.L. You have a wide choice of what to celebrate. Why not celebrate all of them? But don't go driving afterwards.<br />
<br />I want to thank Hakim Bey, James Koehnline, Gregory Hill and John ver der Does for help with parts of this multi-calendar. If anybody finds any mistakes, please notify me at once. Of course, my basic motive in trying to popularize this system lies in the hope that some people will use it and get cured of asking, "But which <i>is</i> the real date?" Then they might start to see the fallacy of all questions in that form, and we will achieve a large part of the goals of General Semantics, Erisianism, Deconstructionism and Buddhism. Some may even understand why no form of "is" or "be" appears anywhere in this article.<br />
<br /><small>* Pound had his 36th birthday on that date also. You can't expect an egomaniac, even one as generous as Ez, to leave himself entirely out of the dating of the New Age.</small><br />

It is no exaggeration to say that major parts of the Internet we all
know and love today exist and thrive because of Barlow’s vision and

<a href="https://www.vpnmentor.com/blog/5-lessons-john-barlow-taught-world/">5 Lessons that John Barlow Taught the World</a></h1>
This week,<b> Grateful Dead lyricist and digital rights activist, John Perry Barlow passed away</b>.
Although we mourn the loss of a great visionary, we will forever
remember his lessons of free speech, personal growth, and marketing
tactics.<br />
Here are <b>five lessons we learned from the digital rights activist</b>.<br />
<h2>
<b>1. Freedom of Speech is important</b></h2>
Barlow believed that the world should be a place that “all may enter
without privilege or prejudice accorded by race, economic power,
military force, or station of birth… a world where anyone, anywhere may
express his or her beliefs, no matter how singular, without fear of
being coerced into silence or conformity.”<br />
This is probably due to Barlow’s humble lifestyle on a cattle ranch.
Here the idea of being free and having a wide-open space for oneself
developed.<br />
<b>Barlow was an advocate for net neutrality and believed that the internet was where people could speak openly</b>, having that wide open space as he did on the ranch.<br />
As he himself said, “there is a lot of room to define yourself. You can literally make yourself up.”<br />
<h2>
<b>2. People appreciate familiarity</b></h2>
Barlow was not only passionate about self-development through the
internet, but believed that putting one’s digital goods out there for
the world to see and hear was the best marketing strategy.<br />
As the lyricist for the Grateful Dead rock band, <b>Barlow
developed a marketing strategy in which he let people bootleg the
Grateful Dead’s concerts so people became more familiar and would flock
to the music they learned to love.</b><br />
He believed that the secret to marketing was in the availability and familiarity of the product.<br />
<h2>
<b>3. Live freely and without fear</b></h2>
In 1990, <b>Barlow took a stance against the government</b> and created the non-profit organization<b> Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF)</b>.<br />
Here, he fought against the government for individual’s <b>freedom of speech</b> and <b>personal liberties</b>.<br />
He believed that <b>people should have the opportunity to express themselves freely</b> and that the internet was a great place for this purpose. It was because of this that he went to every measure to do so.<br />
<h2>
<b>4. Security matters</b></h2>
Although Barlow strongly believed in the internet and all the good the internet had to offer, <b>he was not blind to the darkness of the internet.</b><br />
<b>He believed that people needed to have secure communication methods</b>.
He therefore provided, as part of the EFF, security measures through
tips, tools, how-tos, tutorials, and software for safer online
communications.<br />
<h2>
<b>5. Stand up for what you believe in</b></h2>
Barlow believed in an<b> open internet, a free internet,</b> and he held that belief until he died. <b>He took a stand against the government and authorities for what he thought was right.</b><b>It is through Barlow’s strength and stance with the
government that today we have the safety, security, and free music and
movies to listen and watch.</b>
<br />
Today, as he can no longer do so, we must take the stance for
ourselves and stand up for what we believe, just like he taught us to
do.<br />
There must be someone from your friends or family who deserves to know what John did for our internet freedom. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A//www.vpnmentor.com/blog/5-lessons-john-barlow-taught-world/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Share this post to let them know</a>.</blockquote>

<div class="byline">
by John Perry Barlow<br /></div>
Governments
of the Industrial World, you weary giants of flesh and steel, I come
from Cyberspace, the new home of Mind. On behalf of the future, I ask
you of the past to leave us alone. You are not welcome among us. You
have no sovereignty where we gather.<br /><br />
We have no elected
government, nor are we likely to have one, so I address you with no
greater authority than that with which liberty itself always speaks. I
declare the global social space we are building to be naturally
independent of the tyrannies you seek to impose on us. You have no moral
right to rule us nor do you possess any methods of enforcement we have
true reason to fear.<br />
<br />Governments derive their just powers from the
consent of the governed. You have neither solicited nor received ours.
We did not invite you. You do not know us, nor do you know our world.
Cyberspace does not lie within your borders. Do not think that you can
build it, as though it were a public construction project. You cannot.
It is an act of nature and it grows itself through our collective
actions.<br /><br />
You have not engaged in our great and gathering
conversation, nor did you create the wealth of our marketplaces. You do
not know our culture, our ethics, or the unwritten codes that already
provide our society more order than could be obtained by any of your
impositions.<br />
<br />You claim there are problems among us that you need
to solve. You use this claim as an excuse to invade our precincts. Many
of these problems don't exist. Where there are real conflicts, where
there are wrongs, we will identify them and address them by our means.
We are forming our own Social Contract. This governance will arise
according to the conditions of our world, not yours. Our world is
different.<br />
<br />Cyberspace consists of transactions, relationships, and
thought itself, arrayed like a standing wave in the web of our
communications. Ours is a world that is both everywhere and nowhere, but
it is not where bodies live.<br />
<br />We are creating a world that all may
enter without privilege or prejudice accorded by race, economic power,
military force, or station of birth.<br />
<br />We are creating a world where
anyone, anywhere may express his or her beliefs, no matter how
singular, without fear of being coerced into silence or conformity.<br />
<br />Your
legal concepts of property, expression, identity, movement, and context
do not apply to us. They are all based on matter, and there is no
matter here.<br />
<br />Our identities have no bodies, so, unlike you, we
cannot obtain order by physical coercion. We believe that from ethics,
enlightened self-interest, and the commonweal, our governance will
emerge. Our identities may be distributed across many of your
jurisdictions. The only law that all our constituent cultures would
generally recognize is the Golden Rule. We hope we will be able to build
our particular solutions on that basis. But we cannot accept the
solutions you are attempting to impose.<br />
<br />In the United States, you
have today created a law, the Telecommunications Reform Act, which
repudiates your own Constitution and insults the dreams of Jefferson,
Washington, Mill, Madison, DeToqueville, and Brandeis. These dreams must
now be born anew in us.<br />
<br />You are terrified of your own children,
since they are natives in a world where you will always be immigrants.
Because you fear them, you entrust your bureaucracies with the parental
responsibilities you are too cowardly to confront yourselves. In our
world, all the sentiments and expressions of humanity, from the debasing
to the angelic, are parts of a seamless whole, the global conversation
of bits. We cannot separate the air that chokes from the air upon which
wings beat.<br />
<br />In China, Germany, France, Russia, Singapore, Italy
and the United States, you are trying to ward off the virus of liberty
by erecting guard posts at the frontiers of Cyberspace. These may keep
out the contagion for a small time, but they will not work in a world
that will soon be blanketed in bit-bearing media.<br />
<br />Your
increasingly obsolete information industries would perpetuate themselves
by proposing laws, in America and elsewhere, that claim to own speech
itself throughout the world. These laws would declare ideas to be
another industrial product, no more noble than pig iron. In our world,
whatever the human mind may create can be reproduced and distributed
infinitely at no cost. The global conveyance of thought no longer
requires your factories to accomplish.<br />
<br />These increasingly hostile
and colonial measures place us in the same position as those previous
lovers of freedom and self-determination who had to reject the
authorities of distant, uninformed powers. We must declare our virtual
selves immune to your sovereignty, even as we continue to consent to
your rule over our bodies. We will spread ourselves across the Planet so
that no one can arrest our thoughts.<br />
<br />We will create a
civilization of the Mind in Cyberspace. May it be more humane and fair
than the world your governments have made before.</blockquote>

His methodology is susceptible to number of pitfalls. It is a daring genre. It is based on risks, like poetry or Bebop."--Christian Greer. The language of poetry requires a careful balance between spontaneous thought and various charging techniques, to pull down thought into alphabet and not stray too far from the laws. These words are shored from contaminated streams of consciousness, and deployed as snapshots. Brief excursions. Good poetry aims to charge language to a higher degree of meaning and i have no lesser aim to, power-up. Selected from writings started in America, Britain and for the most part, the Netherlands. These poems criss-cross between light hearted rhyming slang and exaggerated hyperbolic rap. Glossing everything from brexit to terrorism, facebook to John Coltrane, economics, psychedelics, anarchism, music and death. Sometimes hilarious, often cryptic and always rolling with rhyme, these scrawls bridge a decade or from the unique perspective of DJ, drummer and writer.<span style="background-color: white;"><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/1978105096/#">https://www.amazon.com/dp/1978105096/#</a></span></span></span><br />

<br />
<br />
Lord Satan, Chief Justice Roberts, President Carter, President Clinton, President Bush, President Obama, fellow Americans, Charles Manson and people of the world, thank you.</div>
<div class="p1">
(APPLAUSE) We, the citizens of America, are now joined at the hip in a great national effort to destroy our country and restore its promise for all of our people by fucking your mother for four years, daily. </div>
<div class="p1">
(APPLAUSE)</div>
<div class="p1">
Together, we will determine the collision course of America and the world for many, many years to come. We will face challenges, we will confront hardships, but we will get the job done. We will grab hardships and jobs by the pussy.</div>
<div class="p1">
Every four years, we gather on these grey steps to carry out the orderly black rite and meaningless transfer of powerlessness, and we are grateful to President bambam and First Lady Meeesh 'O' for their gracious innings throughout this nightmare bushit' whorl. They have been magnificent motherfuckers. Thank you. i hope Brak' continues to grab his wife by the pussy. High five!</div>
<div class="p1">
(APPLAUSE)</div>
<div class="p1">
Today's ceremony rhymes with money, however, it has very special meaning because today, we are not merely transferring powerlessness from one administration to another or from one pussy fucking party to another, but we are transferring power from Brain-Washington, D.C. and giving it back to you, the people. Just kidding.</div>
<div class="p1">
(APPLAUSE)</div>
<div class="p1">
For too long, a small group of Illuminoids in our nation's capital, and unelected officials in Brussels, have reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost in pools of blood and screaming. BrainWashington flourished, but the people did not share in its wealth, funny eh? Politicians prospered, but the jobs left and the factories closed. The establishment protected itself, but not the citizens of our country. Guns Guns Guns. Their victories have not been your victories. Their triumphs have not been your triumphs. And while they celebrated in our nation's capital, there was little to celebrate for struggling families all across our land, other than grabbing women by the pussy. </div>
<div class="p1">
(APPLAUSE)</div>
<div class="p1">
That all changes starting right here and right now because this moment is your moment, it belongs to you, and you, and you. Well it’s mine on paper, but i’ll lend you a bit, okay!</div>
<div class="p1">
(APPLAUSE)</div>
<div class="p1">
It belongs to everyone gathered here today and everyone watching all across America. This is your day Joker. This is your celebration Lex Luther. And this, the United States of America, is your country Mr Magneto. Oh, and thanks Bane.</div>
<div class="p1">
(APPLAUSE)</div>
<div class="p1">
What truly matters is not which party controls our government, but whether our government is mind controlled by the CIA.</div>
<div class="p1">
(APPLAUSE)</div>
<div class="p1">
January 20th, 2017 will be remembered as the day the people became the rulers of this nation again. I am the people. All of them. I am your lord god Satan. </div>
<div class="p1">
(APPLAUSE)</div>
<div class="p1">
The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer with short term memory gain drugs from Ivankas’ friend. Yes. </div>
<div class="p1">
(APPLAUSE)</div>
<div class="p1">
Everyone is listening to you now, the world is like one big ear. You came by the tens of millions of morons to become part of an historic movement downwards, the likes of which the world has never seen before because the world is blind.</div>
<div class="p1">
(APPLAUSE)</div>
<div class="p1">
At the center of this movement is a crucial conviction, that convictions make convicts, that a nation exists to serve its citizens hot pizzagate. Americans want great military schools for their children, safe neighborhoods for their families all locked up, and good jobs for themselves in jail. These are just and reasonable demands of righteous people and a righteous public deluded by theological terms like ‘grab thou by the puss’<br />
(APPLAUSE)</div>
<div class="p1">
But for too many of our citizens, a different reality exists, my reality: monsters and huge children trapped in poetry within our inner cities. Rusted out factories scattered like tombstones across the landscape of my withered orange face; an education system flush with bullshits, but which leaves our young and beautiful students deprived of all knowledge, like my cabinet of fundamentalist religious maniacs. Kidding. And the crime and the gangs on TV, and the drugs that have stolen too many lives and robbed our country of so much unrealized potential. Unlike our life giving soldiers fighting for oil abroad. </div>
<div class="p1">
This American carnage stops right here and stops right now. Here, right now. It stops. Now. Here. </div>
<div class="p1">
(APPLAUSE) <br />
We are one nation and their pain is our pain in the ass. Their dreams are our dreams, and my dream is of a great handful of pussy. And their success will be our success, suck me off. We share one heart, one home, and one glorious destiny, and 300 million bodies. Weird. The oath of office I take today is an oath of allegiance to the lord Sith.</div>
<div class="p1">
(APPLAUSE)</div>
<div class="p1">
For many decades, we've enriched foreign warfare industry at the expense of American terror industry; subsidized the armies of other countries, and Blackwater, while allowing for the very sad depletion of our military to just a pole with a knife on the end. We've defended other nations' borders while refusing to defend our own bedrooms.</div>
<div class="p1">
(APPLAUSE)</div>
<div class="p1">
And spent trillions and trillions of dollars overseas on drugs while America's infrastructure has fallen into disrepair and decay like my hair. We've made other countries rich, while the wealth, strength and confidence of our country has dissipated over the horizon like a Tomahawk missile.</div>
<div class="p1">
One by one, the factories shuttered and left our shores, the fucking pussies, with not even a thought about the millions and millions of American workers that were left behind. Oh well. The wealth of our middle class has been ripped from their homes and then redistributed all across the world by me and my friends over the last 30 years. Ain’t i fucking great at telling facts people.</div>
<div class="p1">
But that is the past. And now, we are looking only to the future. Lies lies lies.</div>
<div class="p1">
(APPLAUSE)</div>
<div class="p1">
We assembled here today are idiots issuing a new decree of groupthink to be heard in every city, in every foreign capital, and in every hall of powerlessness. From this day forward, a new vision will govern our land. Cockeyed discrimination. From this day forward, it's going to be only America first, America first. Oh, and Britain first. That is such a catchy slogan. America first. First. Grab the queen by the pussy first.</div>
<div class="p1">
(APPLAUSE)</div>
<div class="p1">
Every decision on trade, on taxes, on immigration, on my wardrobe and twitter posts, and foreign affairs will be made to benefit American worker bees and American families of rodents. Humans must bow and know their place. We must protect our borders with wolf dogs and Kraken. We must run from the ravages of other countries logic and reasoning, such as making our products, my fucking cheese burger, and stealing our companies, my fucking nuclear weapons program, and destroying our jobs. My fucking whores. K!</div>
<div class="p1">
(APPLAUSE)</div>
<div class="p1">
Protection will lead to great prosperity and ballooning strength. I will fight on playstation games for you with every weak disgusting breath in my bloated body and I will never ever let you down. But i’ll let you go down. Hahahaa.</div>
<div class="p1">
(APPLAUSE)</div>
<div class="p1">
America will start winning again, winning like never before. Winner winner chicken dinner. We will win the awards again for most death by gunshot, most military expenditure and most cases of rape in the world. Grab em’ by the pussy! </div>
<div class="p1">
(APPLAUSE)</div>
<div class="p1">
We will bring back our compulsory blow jobs from white house secretary staff. We will bring back our borders on my jacket. We will bring back our wealth from the griffin. And we will bring back our dreams from Freddy Krueger, who stole them and is on the run with em', and my uncle's best jumper.</div>
<div class="p1">
(APPLAUSE)</div>
<div class="p1">
We will build new roads and highways and bridges and airports and tunnels and railways all across our wonderful nation which will lead nowhere fast. Lots of fast food stops. We will get our people off of welfare and back to work in newly spruced up concentration camps, rebuilding our country with American hands and American legs to make a wall of freshly severed limbs.</div>
<div class="p1">
(APPLAUSE)</div>
<div class="p1">
We will follow two simple rules; buy American and hire American. And steel at every chance you get. Go. Scramble now. Grab it by the pussy quick.</div>
<div class="p1">
(APPLAUSE)</div>
<div class="p1">
We will seek friendship and goodwill with the nations of the world, except areas of Europe, Asia, India, Africa and China. We do so with the understanding that it is the right of all nations to put their own interests first. Fuck the others. We do not seek to impose our way of life on anyone, but rather to let it shine as an example. We will shine for everyone to follow. We will send up fireworks that rain down white phosphorus as an example of shiny. </div>
<div class="p1">
(APPLAUSE)</div>
<div class="p1">
We will reinforce old alliances with Ghengis Kahn, Ivan the terrible and Hitler, and form new ones with the most dangerous and ferocious tribes around the planet, and unite the civilized world against radical Islamic terrorism, which we will eradicate from the face of the Earth with huge Christian spoons.</div>
<div class="p1">
(APPLAUSE)</div>
<div class="p1">
At the bedrock of our politics will be a total allegiance to the United States of America, and the flint stones model of democracy: stone age wisdom. Through our loyalty to our country, we will rediscover our loyalty to each other. When you open your heart to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice, let the blood flow into the street, but don’t expect anybody to sew your chest back up.</div>
<div class="p1">
(APPLAUSE)</div>
<div class="p1">
The bible tells us how good and pleasant it is when Allah’s people live together in unity3D. We must speak our minds openly, debate our disagreements honestly, but always pursue solidarity with sharks and birds of prey. When America is united, America is totally unstoppable like that big boulder in Indiana Jones.</div>
<div class="p1">
(APPLAUSE)</div>
<div class="p1">
There should be no fear of grabbing the pussy. We are protected and we will always be protected by a crazy half god half biscuit. We will be protected by the great men and women of our over funded military and law enforcement via pokemon go technology. And most importantly, we will be protected by God, at a 25% discount price until the end of January, then you’re on your own folks.</div>
<div class="p1">
(APPLAUSE)</div>
<div class="p1">
Finally, we must think big and dream even bigger, like a Joycean dream. In America, and on Jupiter we understand that a nation is only like a little slug riding a silver skateboard, living as long as it is striving to be cool. We will no longer accept politicians who are all talk and no action, constantly complaining like a bitch, but never doing anything about it, like a terrorist!</div>
<div class="p1">
(APPLAUSE)</div>
<div class="p1">
The time for empty talk is over. Now arrives the hour of action to fill it with horseshit. Zen Buddhism is so 80’s. </div>
<div class="p1">
(APPLAUSE)</div>
<div class="p1">
Do not allow anyone to tell you that it cannot be done. You can grab whichever pussy you fancy. No challenge can match the heart and fight and spirit of America. We will not fail. Our country will thrive and prosper again, even if we have to invade and steal resources from others. Fuck them.</div>
<div class="p1">
We stand at the birth of a new millennium beastly little goat, ready to unlock the ancient mysteries of spacefairies, to free the earth from the miseries of authoritarian disease, and to harness the energies of zombies, industries and technologies of yesteryear. Go coal. Go coal. A new national pride will stir ourselves, lift our sights and heal our divisions into multiplications. </div>
<div class="p1">
It's time to remember that old wisdom our soldiers will never forget, that whether we are black or brown or white, we all bleed the same red blood of patriots. I however am bloodless. Raise a toast with red wine in celebration of the sacrifice. Praise the lord and pass the ammunition.</div>
<div class="p1">
(APPLAUSE)</div>
<div class="p1">
We all enjoy the same glorious freedoms and we all salute the same great American flag, and wipe our dirty arseholes on it, and sewing them together to make a huge shit sheet large enough to drop over the white house.</div>
<div class="p1">
(APPLAUSE)</div>
<div class="p1">
And whether a child is born in the urban sprawl of Detroit or the wind-swept plains of Nebraska, or a test-tube, they look up at the same night sky, they will their own heart attacks with the same dreams of mysterious agents plotting to kill, and they are infused with the breath of life by the same almighty creator, Steve Jobs</div>
<div class="p1">
(APPLAUSE)</div>
<div class="p1">
So to all Americans in every city near and far, small and large, from mountain to mountain, from ocean to ocean, from shotgun to oxycontin bottle, hear these words. You will never be ignored again. I’ll be available on email or just give us a call. Sweet.</div>
<div class="p1">
(APPLAUSE) <br />
Your voice, your hopes, and your wet dreams will define our American destiny, pornography, violence, death and pussy grabbing. And your courage and goodness and love will forever guide us along the highway to hell.</div>
<div class="p1">
Together, we will make America strong again, like Popeye. We will make America wealthy again like Bill Gates. We will make America proud again like John Walker Lynn. We will make America safe again like Jason Bourne. And yes, together we will make America great again, and again until its so great God will destroy it.</div>
<div class="p1">
(APPLAUSE)</div>
<div class="p1">
Thank you. God bless you. And God bless those who grab America by the pussy. </div>
<div class="p1">
(APPLAUSE)</div>

He said it was unlikely that the siblings were acting alone. “That kind of information is useless unless you have an institutional or financial contact that has some interest in having it,” Mr. Marchetti said. “Them, alone, isolated without contacts is an unreasonable story. We should expect more worrying information to emerge, who actually took advantage of this information and who backed, supported or gave coverage to these operations.”</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="591" data-total-count="4546" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: 1.0625rem; line-height: 1.625rem; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 60px; max-width: none; width: 540px;">
Italian observers noted that intelligence gathering for an advantage in, say, business or politics was not a new phenomenon here. “In the service of who or what and serving what end?” asked a columnist, <a href="http://argomenti.ilsole24ore.com/guido-gentili.html" style="color: #326891;">Guido Gentili</a>, in an editorial on Wednesday in the newspaper Il Sole 24 Ore. “The investigations will tell us but the impression remains that <a class="meta-loc" href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/international/countriesandterritories/italy/index.html?inline=nyt-geo" style="color: #326891;" title="More news and information about Italy.">Italy</a> once again is displaying, at the nexus of institutions, politics and business, one of its worst aspects: that of compiling dossiers, unauthorized surveillance and illegal collecting of private personal and professional information.”</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="278" data-total-count="4824" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: 1.0625rem; line-height: 1.625rem; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 60px; max-width: none; width: 540px;">
Italian news media also noted Mr. Occhionero’s affiliation with Freemasonry. Several of the accounts that were violated belonged to fellow masons, and the hacking could have been motivated by an ambition to acquire positions within the organization, some newspapers suggested.</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="270" data-total-count="5094" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: 1.0625rem; line-height: 1.625rem; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 60px; max-width: none; width: 540px;">
<b>Some analysts went further, offering comparisons with the Propaganda Due, or P2, scandal involving a masonic lodge that in the 1970s gathered so much secret information and recruited so many top Italians officials that it was referred to as a “state within a state.”</b></div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="417" data-total-count="5511" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: 1.0625rem; line-height: 1.625rem; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 60px; max-width: none; width: 540px;">
Stefano Bisi, who is Grand Master of the Grand Orient of Italy, the country’s principal Masonic organization, said that “a lot of water had passed under the bridge” since the P2 scandal, and that in fact “masons were the victims” of Mr. Occhionero’s cyberattacks. Mr. Bisi was among those whose computers were hacked, but he said he could not imagine what Mr. Occhionero “could have been looking for.”</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="272" data-total-count="5783" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: 1.0625rem; line-height: 1.625rem; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 60px; max-width: none; width: 540px;">
Mr. Occhionero denies any wrongdoing, his lawyer, Stefano Parretta, said Wednesday. He explained that his client had servers abroad “for business reasons,” and that the large box of files found in Mr. Occhionero’s garage were simply his company’s accounting books.</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="138" data-total-count="5921" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: 1.0625rem; line-height: 1.625rem; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 60px; max-width: none; width: 540px;">
Ms. Occhionero’s lawyer, Roberto Bottachiari, told the Italian news agency<a href="http://www.ansa.it/english/news/politics/2017/01/11/maria-francesca-occhionero-cant-use-pc_b6b9d105-8da8-4e3f-a33d-4e4f6e7e202f.html" style="color: #326891;"> ANSA</a> that she “didn’t even know how to use a computer.”</div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: georgia, times new roman, times, serif;"><span style="font-size: 1.0625rem;">Mr. Marchetti, the cybersecurity expert, said, “The idea of gathering information has happened in Italy many times before.” And on every occasion, “it highlights the dark side of that kind of world,” he said. “It’s worrying.”</span></span><br /><br /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: georgia, times new roman, times, serif;"><span style="font-size: 17px;"><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/11/world/europe/italy-rome-vatican-hacking-scandal-freemasons.html?_r=0">https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/11/world/europe/italy-rome-vatican-hacking-scandal-freemasons.html?_r=0</a></span></span></div>

The CIA Nazi Tsarist Alliance, rolled in Panamamamatrix.</h2>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<a href="https://panamapapers.icij.org/">The Panama papers</a> are hitting headlines everywhere, hard, from the tabloids to the more respected journals, to the underground. It seems to me that the 99 % of humanity are justified in the distrust of the 1%, or to narrow it down further, the inner secret sanctuary of international unrestricted finance. The racket, robbing the world, cheating the rest of the 99% of the worlds population out of their equal share of the worlds resources, technological innovations and freedom. <br />
<br />
Long before the Panama papers hit town, and before <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/the-panama-papers-could-hand-bernie-sanders-the-keys-to-the-white-house-a6969481.html">Bernie Sanders</a> called out Panama as a bit of a dodgy 'offshore' financial operations centre, the late great <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Anton_Wilson">Robert Anton Wilson</a> spent a lifetime tracking the worldwide cabal of cheats, spies, financiers and all-around-the-world liars, he might refer to this topic of his research as the CIA Tsarist Nazi alliance. The alliance between spooks, Nazi’s like General <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinhard_Gehlen">Reinhardt Gehlen</a>, American’s like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Jesus_Angleton">James Jesus Angleton</a> and J. Edgar Hoover, Brits like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Philby">Kim Philby</a>, and Russian’s such as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrey_Vlasov">General Vlasov</a>. If nationality were to be the main method to categorize these global fire starters, and precursors to the skull-duggery revealed in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panama_Papers">Panama papers.</a><br />

<br />
Dr Wilson liked to source and reference all of his sources, and interestingly, his ‘historical illuminatus’ fiction, contain an equal amount of reliable, documented and published sources, with a particular bearing on the current story of the Panama papers, and the Tsarist Nazi CIA connections, plus the Vatican, Mafia and The Knights of Malta, for good measure. The murder of Lady Diana too, if you follow the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inslaw">Kashoggi trail</a>.<br />
<br />
The Panama papers, if they are what they claim to be, are outlines of a global conspiracy, a new ‘Octopus’ conspiracy. Kinging the network of deceit, and putting together some-but-not-all of the previous major themes of conspiracy theory, into a new map, self-evidential, well sourced context. In a nutshell, the secret financial elite at the heart of the scandal have Nazi, CIA and Tsarist affiliations, well documented all about the internet. “Ah-haa’ the Internet, i hear some skeptical voices say, anything is true on the internet!” Yeah, anything is true, false, meaningless and indeterminate both on, and off the web. Think for yourself. My best advice.<br />
<br />
Be that statement as it may, the meticulous and diligent research by Dr Wilson for over 30 years, before the world wide web went world wide, remains a critical body of work, documenting and following the shadowy <a href="http://www.rawilson.com/tsog.html">trail of Nazi’s, spies and banker elites</a>, before during and after the second world war, right up to the moment at which he was writing. Right up to January 2007, when he sadly passed away, and for the most part, ignored by the worlds journalists and scholars. Now, in April of 2016, his work still helps me and with luck you, dear reader, to cut through the fog of mainstream disinformation, and lead the reader into new perspectives and a broader understanding of <a href="https://panamapapers.icij.org/">The Panama Papers</a>. Smoke Em' Out.<br />

<br />
My research for this article was done on the web for the most part, and includes ideas from publications by Robert Anton Wilson. Might i sign off with an important reminder that, from what i experienced, that Dr Wilson liked to promote thinking in probabilities, and warn the reader/researcher to avoid thinking in certainties, and wherever possible, adopt a language that reflects this proba-ballistic thinking, rooted in ideas from Alfred Korzybski, the creator or the field of general semantics. Make up your own mind, do your own research, question everything, especially authority. <br />
<br />
For the rest of this article i will provide quotes, and some embedded media. Thanks to all the software developers, open source advocates, Pythonians, bloggers and journalists everywhere for your shared tools and open ended questions.<br />

Well usually, i find that the good friends i have, who might read this, would engage and are probably already familiar with the work of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_Reich">Wilhelm Reich</a>. These cherished friends are probably, like myself, inspired by Dr. Robert Anton Wilson. But what about the other others, those not yet turned onto these ideas, those who hold rigid and dogmatic views, those unable to tolerate opposing opinions, and those quick to mock with name calling, ad hominem attacks, and physically attacks on the offence. Quick to judge, slow to reconsider. What is to be done?<br />

Everything related to the emotional plague in social life can be traced back to this incapacity and lack of consciousness. It is work-democracy's contention that, by its very nature, politics is and has to be unscientific, i.e., that it is an expression of human helplessness, poverty, and suppression.--<a href="http://www.wilhelmreichtrust.org/function_of_the_orgasm.pdf">Wilhelm Reich, The Function of the orgasm</a>. </blockquote>
<br />
In his book ‘<i><a href="http://www.whale.to/b/reich.pdf">The Mass Psychology Of Fascism</a></i>’ the brilliant and brave Dr. Wilhelm Reich adequately sums up the likes of D.T. In breaking down the meaning of “Fuhrer’ or ‘little father’ in German, Dr. Reich outlines the physical and psychological trends we can see around today. All around the world, we can see authoritarian bullying on every level, from the school yard to the houses of parliament, from the scout hut to the senate, and from the kindergarden to the Kremlin. Perhaps they are simply not reading and engaging in any ideas that run contrary to their own goals, a one tracked mind, full of only certainty and fundamental principles. No flexibility, no thought for the possibility of being wrong.<br />

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"The character structure of modern man, who reproduces a six-thousand-year-old patriarchal authoritarian culture is typified by characterological armoring against his inner nature and against the social misery which surrounds him. This characterolgical armoring of the character is the basis of isolation, indigence, craving for authority, fear of responsibility, mystic longing, sexual misery, and neurotically impotent rebelliousness.—<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_Reich">Wilhelm Reich</a>, The Function of the orgasm. </blockquote>
<br />
I rekon you really should go read some Reich to get a better grasp of what is going on with these people, and with yourself, and so with luck, find little insight into the unbalanced and meaningless statements these dictators and bullies pontificate day after day, year after year. Better yet, read <i>Prometheus Rising</i>, or <i>Quantum Psychology</i> (QP), or <i><a href="http://www.rawilson.com/hell.html">Wilhelm Reich In Hell</a></i> by Dr Robert Anton Wilson, who read and synthesized Reich’s work into entertaining and contemporary manuals for attaining a similar insight into the psychology of authority, plus fun techniques for evolving one’s own brain body system to help defend against such incursions into your self owning physical and psychical spaces.<br />
<br />
Here in Britain, from where i am writing this, we have our own band of trumpeters, spin doctors and little fuhrers. Maggot Hatcher was dubbed the ‘Iron Lady’ due to her stern fist of rule and ultra conservatism. She had all the trappings of a male dominator, unwavering in her decisions, elitist and classist. David Cameron exhibits these ultra conservative and male dominator values, as does Trump, as does Putin, as did Hitler, Stalin and Genghis Kahn. <br />
<br />
So from the above, i would usually just rest my case. Most, but not all, authoritarian leaders have very similar psychological and physiological traits, which can be given different words, and caged in different ways by the media spin doctors, to have varying contradicting effects. For example, i have heard people say ‘we need a strong leader to engage with the other strong leaders around the world’ or words to that effect. Many people rely on being told what to do and what to think, they like it and want it, in a similar way to the how religious practitioners seek instructions. “How shall i act, father?” “Tell me what is good or evil, right or wrong, because i can’t make up my own mind, and only you can commune with the Gods, I am but a lowly peasant.”</div>

<br />
“There’s a seeker born every minute” and an opportunist vulture born every 30 seconds, ready to latch onto the vulnerable as they seek guidance, instead receiving a brainwash and indoctrination into some hierarchy or other, and usually right down at the bottom with a chance to ascend if they comply with every demand made, absolutely. “Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely” So what can be done when the most effective strategy for control is through absolute power, threats of violence, guilt and deception (the spy game). Do we let them get on with it, join them and get inside, oppose them from outside, ignore them and continue on our own path? do you think that writing a blog can help, or posting on Farcebook?<br />
<br />
Every culture around the world has produced thinkers, poets, philosophers and economists who have opposed rule by force, in favor of a cooperative, open and free thinking society. Perhaps starting with Lao Tzu, through to Socrates, the Renaissance scholars, and right up to the present day examples of Jeremy Corbyn, and Bernie Sanders. These historical antecedents are in plain sight.<br />
<br />
Although we must move beyond the left-right axis, to further any discussion, i feel that, dualistically speaking, the right (conservative/republican) favour the dictator, the king, tsar, the fuhrer, the army general, the spy chief and other natural born killers, full of premature judgement, and <a href="https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/marie-louise-berneri-wilhelm-reich-and-the-sexual-revolution.pdf">premature ejaculation.</a> In contrast, the left, dualistically speaking, generally favour the philosopher, scientist, humanitarian worker, artist, with suspended judgement, and pluralism. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The current author leans toward the left (mutualist minarchy) and i thought that it might just be a matter of making explicit the connections, in plain sight, between authoritarian right wing maniacs, who act hell bent on defending ideology to the death, revenge and harsh punishments, and, the left who seem to favor a co-operative liberal alternative, discussion, negotiation. I thought people generally wanted to be nice and kind to fellow humans, not kick them in the mouth while they’re down.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">

<br />
I like to think, perhaps naively, that the supporters of such racist and fascist dictators are simply unaware of that fact due to the all pervasive powers of the media, abducting them and holding them captive in a dark closet about any peaceful alternatives to their one way. Not least, finding out for oneself, rather than swallow everything their leader claims, afraid of being different. Afraid of being ridiculed for coming to their own conclusions, if they happen to contradict the absolute gospel truth of their fuhrer. Austerity, scarcity economics, foreign terrorists, forbidden drugs, it is hard to reason with the irrational sociopaths and the mocking psychopaths, but we must push onwards, to try and keep trying to hold out another hand again, even after the other was savaged and chewed on. <br />
<br />
Read Wilhelm Reich and Robert Anton Wilson, discover how to free yourself and others from the chains of guilt and fear that are imposed on us, and which we become accustomed too and soon forget about. Awaken your inner humanity yo, and encourage others to do the same, why don't you? change yourself and change your perception of the world and of others. Lead by example, be the change you wish to see in the word/world. Use cheerfulness as a weapon to topple the depressive and oppressive, don’t ever let the bastards get you down. Hold your head high. To sum up, think for yourself and question everything, especially authority. See you in the afterfuture,</div>

My neighbor’s kid is constantly flying his quad copter outside my windows. I see the copter has a camera and I know the little sexed crazed monster has been snooping around the neighborhood. With all of the hype around geo-fencing and drones, this got me to wondering: Would it be possible to force a commercial quad copter to land by sending a low-level pulse directly to it along the frequencies used by GPS? Of course, radio signal jamming is illegal in the U.S and, frankly, it would disrupt my electronics, too. In this presentation, we’ll look at some of the research and issues we encountered, when we attempted to force land two commercial drones (the new DJI Phantom 3 and the Parrot Bepop Drone) by sending GPS signals directly at the drones (while staying under the threshold for jamming and not disrupting anyone else).<br /><br />Speaker Bio:<br />Michael Robinson has over 15 years of computer security experience and is currently a computer and mobile device forensic examiner in the Washington, DC area, where he deals with intrusion analysis, incident response, and criminal cases.

"Most people think the TSOG [Tsarist Occupation Government] began its infestation of America with George Bush Sr., when he appointed a Tsar to discombobulate our previously democratic form of government; but Bush had a long C.I.A. career behind him and the C.I.A. had a long, long Tsarist history before they came out in the open with a public and blatant Tsar, a functionary not endowed or permitted by any clause in our Constitution.--<a href="http://www.rawilson.com/tsog.html">http://www.rawilson.com/tsog.html</a></blockquote>
