Topic: Culture War
Americans who claim to value their freedom should be very concerned about the continuing concentration of wealth into the hands of a mercenary, plutocratic, predatory few.
When in the past wealth and power concentrated into the hands of a few, the competition to be a member of the ruling class became homicidal, fratricidal, sororicidal, patricidal, matricidal and even genocidal.
In response, the ruling class becomes paranoid, oppressive and violent.
The rest us end up being ruled over by people who are out of their minds.
Don't believe me?
For thousands of years, there has been an alliance between the ruling class and the clergy.
The purpose of this alliance between the clergy and the ruling class is to achieve and maintain authority, power, order and control over communities of faithful believers and by extension the states of our global culture.
Here's how it works.
The clergy gains influence over communities of faithful believers by repeating the lie that a myth is a truth in defense of a fraudulent claim of an ability to know about the existence and will of a good one in Heaven at war with an evil one cast down to and ruling over Earth.
The ruling class buys influence over communities of faithful believers from the clergy.
With promises of divine eternal bliss in Heaven and threats of abominable infernal suffering in Hell, the clergy extort tithes and offerings from communities of faithful believers in exchange for a life long indoctrination in the lie that a myth is a truth and lead the communities of faithful believers they influence to believe that the will of the ruling class is in fact the will of a good one in Heaven.
This influence peddling makes the most prosperous amongst the clergy into a mouth piece for the ruling class.
Religion as practiced by the ruling class is a campaign to lead communities of faithful believers into the institution of spiritual slavery.
Rulers declared their divine right to rule.
Rulers demanded to be worshipped as gods.
There have been rulers that have killed every member of their own immediate family so they could rule alone on the thrown.
There was once a queen whose idea of a beauty treatment was to bath in and drink of the blood of beautiful young virgins lured into her castle by a promise of work in her court.
There have been rulers who demanded upon pain of death that subjects convert to the religion of their "lord".
There have even been rulers who demanded to be worshipped as gods.
How can Americans trust a few to have the vast majority of the power and wealth when we know this has been the result in the past?
Have we Americans forgotten that we fought a revolution to free ourselves from rule by a monarchy?
Everybody remembers crazy old King George the third, right?
Everybody in the political theatre seems to be screaming about socialism right now.
The reality is we now have an American government that is transforming from a democracy with a large middle class to a monarchy or oligarchy if you prefer with little or no middle class and the transnational corporations of the super rich ruling on the thrown.
Our founding fathers said to the monarchy of the time: "no taxation without representation".
I say to the monarchy of our time: Lip service doesn't count.
Campaign finance reform is not the solution to this problem.
The ruling elite had their chance to enact it and failed to do so and even if they did campaign finance reform won't work in a system corrupted by greed.
The super rich will always find new ways of buying influence.
Now our only credible option is a massive redistribution of wealth from the top down.
That way we will be able to buy our government back.
Otherwise, all it is going to take to complete this transformation from a democracy with a large middle class to a monarchy with little or no middle class is for some new disaster to take place.
Oh I don't know like say the grid millions of American households depend on for power getting fried by a particularly massive solar storm in 2012.
You do know of course that the transformers on high voltage power lines are not insulated from charges coming up through towers from the ground.
As I understand it, if sun has a particularly massive solar storm like it did in 1859 and an electromagnetic pulse hits the United States in let's say 2012 then that huge amount of electromagnetic energy would hit the Earth, travel up through the gigantic towers holding the power lines criss crossing the American landscape and melt the copper coils in massive transformers.
These massive transformers are not made in the USA.
There is a three year waiting list to get these massive transformers from wherever these are made.
There is no way to transport power efficiently and effectively without these massive transformers.
The Solar Katrina Storm that could take out the power grid for years.
Below is a link an article in the Huffington Post written about this subject by a Lawrence E. Joseph author, of "AFTERMATH: A Guide to Preparing for and Surviving Apocalypse 2012"
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/lawrence-e-joseph/the-solar-katrina-storm-t_b_641354.html
The House version of the recently preposed comprehensive energy bill would have made provision for properly grounding the gigantic towers on the power grid so that the massive transformers we Americans depend upon to transmit power to our homes won't be fried in the event of a particularly massive solar storm that sends an electromagnetic pulse crashing into the United States in 2012.
However our representatives have now decided that bill is dead.
I believe this was a fateful decision and possibly a deliberate one.
In the chaos of the aftermath of such an event, people would be cut off from power, food, transportation, computers, cell phones all at the same time since an electromagnetic pulse wave hitting the Unites States in 2012 would also fry the electronic circuitry within computers and other such electronic items.
Satellites we rely on for communication would also be fried.
Survivor without the television cameras, without a million dollar prize awaiting the winner, and no end in sight for possibly decades to come.
It would be the perfect opportunity for the super rich to introduce our new dictator and do away with the American republic all together.
The monarchs of the world have not forgotten the blow the American revolution struck to the credibility of their preferred form of government and when they are toasting the demise of the American Republic and the rise of our dictator or whatever he or she decides to call him or her self maybe then Americans will be able to appreciate the danger of allowing the wealth of the national culture to concentrate into the hands of a mercenary plutocratic predatory few though then it will be too late as Americans will have been reduced to slaves or worse.
It is not too late now.
We can yet overcome these obstacles with loyalty to the truth, logical behavior and optimism.
We need to stop lying to ourselves, stop lying to one another, stop behaving in an illogical manner, start telling the truth to ourselves, start telling the truth to each other and start behaving in a logical manner.
My advice is:
Reject Satan!!
If we reject Satan then we by definition reject the teachings of Jesus, Mohammed, Moses, Abraham, Joseph Smith and all others whose religions are built around the idea of a conflict between a good one in Heaven at war with an evil one cast down to and ruling over Earth.
If we reject all these religions then we reject the institution of spiritual slavery.
This is the first step towards joining an institution of spiritual liberation.
The next step is to recognize that optimism correlates with happiness and health and pessimism correlates with sad sorrow, mad fear, bad anger and suffering of disease.
The placebo effect suggests as much.
Abrahamic religions teach us to believe that while a good one in Heaven ruled the Earth in the beginning and a good one in Heaven will rule the Earth in the end, Satan rules the Earth in the present.
We live in the present.
So for all intents and purposes these Abrahamic religions teach us to give power in our minds to the idea that Satan rules over this Earth.
That is for all intents and purposes these Abrahamic religions teach us to worship Satan as ruler of this Earth.
If optimism correlates with happiness and health, then can you imagine the harm caused by billions of people choosing to focus their mental energies on a belief in a pessimistic myth about the existence of an evil one cast down from Heaven ruling over Earth?
The harm caused is manifesting all around us in the form of a global culture dominated by networks of liars that lead communities of faithful believers to behave like racist, heterofascist, warmongers justified by the lie that a myth is a truth, and motivated by the drive of the seed to create to out work, out fight and out number competition in a race to Armageddon.
The flames of excessive multiplication fanned for thousands of years by these aggressive ideological traditions are running up against the limited dimensions of our body consuming biosphere. The problem is global warming, deforestation, desertification, pollution, desolation of large areas of land in war, dead zones in the oceans, melting of ancient glacier, a billion people not getting enough food every day and the daily starvation of on average thirty thousand children aged zero to five. Regardless of what is happening in the world around us, these liars lead communities of faithful believers to channel all sexual energy into sex for procreative purposes; be fruitful and multiply; work all the hours of the day from dawn to dusk and fight evil. That is fight against anybody that is not doing the same thing; and or not believing the same way.
That is the price we pay for campaigns by the ruling class to lead us into the institution of spiritual slavery.
The clergy and the ruling class in alliance have chosen to propagate a belief in a pessimistic myth about an evil one cast down to and ruling over Earth.
In so doing the clergy and the ruling class in alliance have demonstrated time and again that they care more about achieving and maintaining authority, power, order and control over communities of faithful believers and by extension the states of our global culture than they do about helping us to reach our collective goal of achieving and maintaining happiness and health.
An infinite number, diversity, and variety of myths about the existence of one totality are made possible by the existence of discovery and the existence of mystery.
If optimism correlates with happiness and health, we believe it does and we desire to achieve and maintain happiness and health, then the logical choice to make when orienting self towards world, explaining world to self and answering the grand enigmatic questions of identity surrounding the discovery and mystery of existence is a belief in the one most optimistic myth that enables us to have the highest esteem of the existence of one totality.
That is to believe an infinity, divinity, eternally, one manifests for the purposes of enjoying entertainment as an infinite seed, an infinite body, an infinite soul, and an infinite spirit.
That is to believe an infinity, divinity, eternally one in everything, everywhere at all times.
That is to believe if the spirit is good enough to give us one life to live then the spirit is good enough to give us an infinite series of lives to live.
Such a choice affirms a belief that our fractal infernal seed bodies are host to divine eternal souls that select from amongst the thought, feeling and action possibilities made available by the seed body the one thought, feeling and action that will manifest as our free will.
Such a choice affirms a belief in a most optimistic myth about the existence of a continuous spiritual communion between the spirit of an infinity, divinity, eternally one and our divine eternal souls.
Such a choice makes each and every one of us the high ideologue of the house of ideology.
That is such a choice makes each and every one of us the authority that makes up our own minds about ourselves and all that we find and no outside authority produced by an alliance between the ruling class and clergy will ever be able to usurp that authority.
Take this authority and optimism and add to it loyalty to the truth and logical behavior and we should be able to survive even if others are not so fortunate.
