Spilling the Kettle

Posted on August 8, 2011 by ehurst

They were so engrossed in their Quaker Prayer session, no one noticed the first wave of the flash mob passing by the open air cafe. In minutes the noise of crowded movements were overtaken by rhythmic chanting of protests.
The differences in appearance were stark. The protesters were much younger, dressed in their demonstration gear, while the prayer group was not less than 55 at the youngest, and wore seasonal lightweight shorts and t-shirts. Before they could register in their minds what was happening, they were surrounded. Worst of all, a significant number were the black-clad kids with light helmets and gloves, snatching up chairs and tables as they passed through. The men quickly withdrew to the far back corner, as the cafe owners had already dropped the metal grating over the only opening.
As they huddled, a blank brick wall on one side, and a high steel bar fence on the other, their hearts raced even faster as they realized those closest to them stopped and set up what functioned as a flash command post: a handful of people with multiple smartphones and tablet computers. While the activists ignored them mostly, they scanned about for the likelihood they might slip out against the flow of traffic. After a brief discussion they had almost decided to go try it when the ad hoc command post began chattering animatedly. Their hearts sank when they heard the word “kettle” repeated, pretty much at the same time they noticed the crowd was no longer moving past, but was packing tightly.
Police tactics had changed in the past few months as social unrest had increased. Kettling was no longer for mere containment. It allowed the police forces to reduce the portion of the crowd they faced until they had localized superiority of numbers. Using heavy tracked vehicles, extreme sound and other crowd driving measures, they would press from one end of the kettle and beat their way through the protesters on the other. Somehow in the midst of this, the police would sort through the crowd, picking out whom they thought were deserving of extra attention. Usually this meant anyone with anything in their hands or strapped to their backs, folks they found wearing skirmish gear, etc. These were tortured with tasers and beaten even more badly, then arrested. Anyone with caught with an actual weapon was likely to be shot on sight.
Building owners in this city had learned long ago to install steel roll-top doors or other means to seal off their buildings, because more than once a structure which had allowed some protesters to escape had been burned down. Official statements blamed the protesters, but no one believed that.
The dozen older men in the prayer group had no sympathies with either side. Dying was hardly something they feared, but they had seen enough violence and began praying again as best they could against the noise of the crowd. Then they discussed things for a moment, and made a decision. Overhearing the command post chatter, they realized the police skirmish line was just a block away. Backed by mounted officers and some vehicles, it was already moving their way. Time was short.
One of the older men approached the command post and asked if there was a tactical leader interested in making an escape. Having overheard one of the narrow side streets was blocked by a heavy cluster of officers and shields, and only one vehicle, they had a plan. They felt this might offer the weakest defense and allow at least some folks to escape the violence. After a few words, the activist began to grin, shaking his head up and down.
It took only a few minutes to find the right people — large people — and some makeshift straps and ropes. Just a few more minutes with the guidance of the older men in the prayer group, and they were ready. The command post began folding up operations and moved behind the lead element. Despite the tension and anger, the sight of this lead element still brought a few laughs from the crowd, as they shifted and parted to allow passage. The older men simply huddled in their corner, praying and watching as the activist leadership moved in tight knot, some as part of their new weapon.
They paused at the corner of the side street they had chosen, as word went up the chain of people toward the front edge where the police line held behind movable barriers. In minutes two more groups formed more versions of this weapon, and the formation moved quickly toward the police line.
At the skirmish line, a handful of masked protestors suddenly attacked the barriers and lifted them aside. As policemen moved forward in a tight formation to restore them, a space opened briefly as the crowd melted apart. Through the opening came barreling a huge battering ram, borne on either side by burly men running in tight cadence. Directly behind them came another, then another. The policemen suddenly found their shields a liability. This tight knot of bodies with their rams mowed down the ranks. In seconds a gap was open, as officers who had been knocked down began crawling out of the way to avoid being stomped further. Once the path was opened, the crowd surged behind the battering rams and the police ended up having to flee for their own safety.
The kettle had spilled.
Only later did the police realize how it was done. Because there was nothing loose which could have been used for this, the protesters had taken two large people with helmets and light body armor to make their ram. Facing head to foot, the two men clung tightly to each other, wrapped in strips of cloth or straps, and turned into a heavy ram. A crew of six, three on each side, then tied the straps over their outside shoulders and waists. Two more at the rear would help push the rest through resistance, so that they were a single, flexible weapon, weighing no less than a full ton. Someone at the rear called cadence while the rest moved carefully in unison, grinding over whatever fell under their feet.
The older men in their prayer group simply huddled in their corner, watching the chaos as the operation fell apart. Their prayer meeting lasted a little longer than they had planned, but they all made it home eventually, unscathed.

A Little More Speculation on US Collapse (Updated)

Posted on August 6, 2011 by ehurst

I’d like to speculate further on my doomsday scenarios.
In previous posts I have speculated that there is some global elite steering events on a certain level. Not in the sense of direct involvement, but shaping things from a distance, for the most part. This shaping has not been really efficient, but that’s part of what makes it more effective. While I believe there are some rather ordinary, but exceptionally intelligent, humans involved in this global steering business, I’ve never left any doubt I always believed the real sponsor had to be Satan. It matters not whether these elite folks are something not quite human, or humans who willingly and knowingly serve Satan, because the net result would be about the same either way. So I toss around the term “Illuminati” as a popular label most likely to be understood by any passing reader.
Naturally my primary source is what I gain from Scripture. Some of my predictions are what I consider prophecy, such as the business of losing a war with Iran. Some is related speculation. Some, including what follows, is just me and my personal guessing, taking into account things previously written here.
So far, I’ve said I believe the current plans are to enslave the US population in service to the Neocon war machine. It seemed to me debt was a primary instrument for destroying the economy, and serving as the legal excuse for demanding our service. Recent events have added a bit to the picture.
Consider all the millions of humans addicted to various prescription drugs. Not just the mood shapers like Prozac, but all sorts of drugs carefully designed to treat, but not solve, a long list of medical conditions. Solutions have been contrary to Big Pharma policy for quite some time. I am certain some real cures have remained hidden in their labs, because there’s far less profit from curing than from building a dependency. I’m know for a fact a large number of natural cures have been suppressed or buried by the FDA. Imagine suddenly all those drugs no longer available. How would the dependent consumers react? What’s a mass withdrawal of ten million psychotropic medication addicts look like?
Consider the vast number of things we consume every day delivered “just in time.” Imagine large metropolitan areas when truck traffic can’t move any more, due to skyrocketing fuel costs. How long would food be on the urban grocery shelves? How will people in these urban centers react when they can’t find a gallon of milk or a loaf of bread anywhere?
Think of the recent race riots. Just this summer we’ve seen reports of at least a half-dozen of them, particularly in northern urban areas. People of one ethnic group ganging up on folks of another race at some public venue where the victims are entirely unlikely to be armed. Think about how often the news sources simply don’t report the whole story because their editors and local government agree it’s not socially acceptable to state the facts. What happens when there is much more than just hot weather stirring suppressed human passions and hatreds?
I’m not all that sure the Illuminati care if the US federal government survives. I don’t doubt the people in various official capacities will ride this out just fine, but the actual ability to assert their authority could evaporate overnight. And not come back. I’m guessing the key will be the collapse of the US dollar. A critical element in what I believe are Illuminati plans for us is to create an atmosphere wherein we would beg someone or something to take over and clean up the mess, or just supply the basics for survival. Consider a Hurricane Katrina covering the whole US, or a 9-11 type disaster in most large cities of the US. So long as what passes for “law enforcement” can mass their numbers in trouble spots and overwhelm those who get too creative for government tastes, you’ll get the humanitarian disaster we saw in New Orleans, with victims caged by a wicked and hateful government refusing to do anything except put the lid on the cooker and turn up the heat. People won’t forget that when the disaster is everywhere at once, and a great many police departments being shut down right now. I think the Illuminati are hoping it’s even worse than riots and armed looters.
No, I don’t believe their plans are all that precise and specific. All it takes is for some significant minority of the population to panic and call for whomever is offering to help solve the immediate needs. I believe the Illuminati are ready to make such an offer. That’s when we’ll find out who they are, or we’ll find out I missed it completely. Then we’ll just have chaos until local and regional governments form on their own. Who’s to say that’s not part of the plan, too? Then again, I’m not too sure any presumed Illuminati group is quite up to handling disasters they create.
What matters is we are almost surely headed for a dollar collapse. I tend to think it will be this calendar year, but I just don’t really know enough for more than a weak guess. It will most assuredly have at least some of the effects I described above. Further, it will affect quite a few other countries around the world. This is not a good time to be living anywhere your very life support depends on things available only at retail outlets or warehouses, and particularly where the US dollar is a significant factor in your financial system.
Just my opinion, you see.
Update: I was sniffing around some of my favorite alternative economic news sites and caught wind of some serious trouble for the Euro. It was partly intuition when I first wrote this blog post, but now it’s full blown logic and fact deserving an update: If the Euro goes bad, the US dollar gets that brief boost followed by a crash. That’s because there is actually less behind the dollar than behind the Euro. It would actually speed the death of the dollar. I tend to think this is an accurate assessment: “Europe On The Brink”. Might be worth reading. Don’t forget all those trillions worth of bogus mortgage investment papers still held in Europe. The banks here can’t foreclose fast enough to fix that mess.

American Dependence

Posted on August 6, 2011 by ehurst

In the long run, it really doesn’t matter whether all this is planned, or in how much detail, because it’s all going to hurt just the same. And we went along with it.
An economy grows when a lot of people at the same time, in the same geographical area, make and sell things people want and need. That breaks down between things which are consumed and need replacing and redoing, or things people do not have and really want.
First, we created a high consumption market by sheer marketer’s brainwashing, convincing people they just had to have all these modern conveniences. Then we sucked them into buying all the more, designing in rapid wear out rates, the throw-away consumer culture. Then we built a huge overhead on our manufacturing with tons of savvy managers and huge cities of offices with people almost interested in what they were doing. But it wasn’t efficient enough. So we had government offering big tax relief to actually send all our manufacturing jobs oversees, then the management jobs, where it was imagined things might be more efficient. This was economic treason, but we bought the lie we could all get new jobs in processing information. Except the market discovered quickly there wasn’t much profit in that, so it died, after we off-shored the useful parts of it. Only government and predatory corporations do that now. And the predatory tracking of human response to advertising and such is about worthless when no one has jobs, so that, too, will crash soon. An honest accounting shows over one-quarter of Americans wanting jobs are unemployed. Almost half are under-employed.
The only real growth industry is government. Savor that for a moment. The fast growing sector of the economy produces nothing and consumes more, and more inefficiently, than any other economic entity in the world. How long can that be sustained?
We don’t have a land where people are used to making do with what they can get. We don’t see people trading older appliances like valued farm land, and we just barely comprehend the notion of keeping your aging autos because it’s cheaper to keep ‘er. We can’t seem to apply that frugal necessity to all the things in highest demand. People will steal and kill for more cell phone minutes.
Like our cheap junk “durable goods,” which are anything but durable, we have created a national culture and economy designed to fall apart. It was unsustainable more than a century ago, but there was room to run before the forward momentum ran out. It’s a race to see which currency dies first, and just now it seems the Euro might win that race. It’s just barely possible the dollar will get one last kick in the seat of the pants simply because investors will flee the Euro. It won’t really change anything except to delay the inevitable for the dollar, though.
It will make things only more brutal here in the land of the dollar. We simply do not have what it takes to make it through this. The vast wasteland of non-culture which is the American way of life offers no place to hide when things get rough. All we have are quick shelters of cheap plastic tarps strung across sun-rotted fiberglass whips, guyed by over-stretched latex bungee cords. One stiff wind and there’s nothing.
You should see what a monumental task it is to turn soft American boys into something resembling the image of tough warriors we project to the world. Most of them are hardly that tough, though some units are lucky enough to grab a handful country boys or something like that. We expect soldiers to grumble, but American troops whine. They remain largely incompetent, and only the vast expense of our high-tech toys — instructions printed on the side — are what keeps us in the field. We outspend most of our enemies, and only by sheer bullying do we choose those even less competent. Real resistance and our boys are whipped by stones and arrows. Our best troopers are used in special operations, the last bastion of true military nobility. Part of the reason mainline commanders slot five support troops for each one on the front line is because out of six, only one might be reasonably useful. I’ve been there.
So it comes down to this, Americans: You aren’t ready for what’s coming. It won’t matter if it’s two or three years down the road; you won’t be ready. More likely it’s next month or so. For the few of us who have any clue, it’s going to be made far worse by the vast horde of those around us who don’t have a clue, and who will be whining and clinging to us, trying to take us for everything we have gathered. For every strong household, there will easily be ten or twenty begging for your help.
It’s not simply things are going to be hard economically, but socially, too. We have this massive herd of folks who simply don’t value anything beyond their personal comfort. They aren’t predators in the typical sense, but they are willing to slash and burn what they can’t take for a quick relief of their appetites. These are animals with a human intelligence, rather like Planet of the Apes with less hair and none of the planning. What our soldiers experience in Afghanistan, needing to carry their weapons to the shower or simply to go potty, will become a routine here in some parts. The sort of thinking this requires is simply not possible to most Americans without a direct experience in the military.
If you are one of the few competent folks, prepare to inherit a couple hundred new dependents.

Successful Criminals

Posted on August 5, 2011 by ehurst

The first and most essential ingredient in committing crime is a moral commitment which denies your activity is a crime.
The term “crime” typically has an official definition in jurisprudence, but it amounts to anything the ruling regime doesn’t like, and is willing to exert serious effort to stop. It won’t matter what the real or supposed motives of such laws are, because there isn’t a single Western government which God likes, only those He tolerates for short periods. I love the people with whom I share a geographical association, but I love all people, and my calling as a prophet places my loyalty outside any human government. Somewhere in the near future, I suspect just publishing such a sentiment will be considered a criminal act, but that just proves my point. You need not take seriously anyone else’s definition of “crime” except as a point of discussion. Given the way our laws and enforcement are structured and used here in the US, every living resident is just one police encounter from being labeled a criminal regardless of written laws.
The first necessity for success as a criminal is to believe without any shred of a doubt what you are doing is in everyone’s best interest. Short of that, simply convince yourself it is not harmful beyond what life itself offers. Bonus points if what you do actually meets some human need, or even some human wish. If people will pay for what you do, that’s a leg up on moral arguments, though we have to understand every human wants at least some things they shouldn’t have. Still, if people act like you are meeting a real need and are willing to take risks to obtain your service and/or product, which service or product produces no real moral harm to others, you are probably in the clear. If you don’t believe in what you are doing, stop it, regardless whether it’s a “crime.”
As regular readers know, there is a huge difference between noting something is morally dangerous to the community versus the question of how to enforce it. I say prostitution is evil, but it would hardly be a viable business if families cared the least about what God says families should do. The real problem with prostitution is all the other crime which attaches to it, which itself often reflects merely the mistakes in enforcement. The prophet in me says: Mind your own business and do what’s right; God takes care of the rest. Prostitution shouldn’t be illegal in the current sense of the term “illegal,” but you can’t please God and engage in the business.
Violence and confiscation requires an extreme justification, and is not a business model. This is what governments do, and they hate competition. But crimes which respond to what seems a genuine human need, such as smuggling and dodging unjustified regulation, is pretty easy to justify before the Lord. People gotta eat, and government mandated poison is wrong all the way around. Tobacco may be harmful for most uses, but I can’t justify through Scripture making smoking and chewing a crime. Living on earth is harmful, too. If people will buy your smuggled cigarettes, I won’t condemn it. The moral watershed has more to do with your attitude as a smuggler than the act itself. Helping people is helpful, and hard to condemn.
Taxation itself is not evil. It’s what governments make of it that becomes evil. As noted in previous posts, we are already seeing a wave of scrapping thefts. This hardly compares to what amounts to theft by government, and look for that to get worse faster than the private criminal version. We already have a serious theft problem with government “forfeitures.” Other bureaucratic entities, such as banks and their predatory lending with blatantly illegal foreclosures, are also in on the game. The underlying principle is bureaucracies refuse to cut back. Their health depends on keeping the power and the wealth flowing, and the system resists going on a diet. The first thing they cut is what they give back to the public, which is their real justification for existing. As things continue sliding downhill, bureaucratic entities will take the lion’s share of what’s left, humanity be damned. There comes a point when crime from the top de-legitimizes the entity itself, so that nothing it says and wants is right. Search your own conscience, but dodging current taxation and regulation is not necessarily wrong morally.
To those who would suggest what I promote here contributes to social decline: Shut up and stop lying. There is not a thing you can do within current social orthodoxy which will help at all. We are past the tipping point. We were past it long, long ago, but only a few have been willing to recognize it. The West has never been legitimate, ever. No Western government has ever been legitimate in God’s eyes, but He has used them for His own private reasons. Even if we presume to adopt the moral standards of the Enlightenment whence modern democratic governments arose, we have failed utterly. Not a single society has taken the moral high road under even that standard and required governments to behave properly. What I promote is hardly nihilism. I don’t promote destruction, but purposed defiance in the human interest. There really is a good moral standard for this world in its fallen state, and we have done our best as nations to avoid that standard. Prissy middle-class Western society is inherently evil, and we need to get over it.
To be a good moral businessman today makes you a criminal. Once you grasp the underlying moral issues, you can understand the first order of business is believe in what you do. Never evince the least embarrassment just because you know the majority of those you encounter will call it evil. Stop following the herd. Instead, feed the herd. Find out what you can do and enjoy meeting human needs. Realize there are risks regardless what governments think about it, simply because the real world is risky at the best of times. Arrest, conviction and prison is morally the same as being kidnapped and held for ransom, or simply being taken as a slave. Some people probably deserve it, but any more I’m not convinced even half of our prison population belongs there. So plan your “criminal” activities with the assumption it’s likely you’ll have encounters with private and government crooks, both.
Think like a businessman and know how to cut your losses and scram. Provide honest goods and services at a price where you aren’t a predator, but accounting for the probability of loss. If you can improve methods to lower the risk, lower the price accordingly. Be more reliable and honest than crooks and people will love you and help protect your business. Never mind whether your business is otherwise morally right; get just that part right and you’ll be nearly impossible to stop. For example, precious few law enforcement agencies have yet to face a genuine businessman’s approach to dope dealing. Should a small time pusher actually provide an honest service, and take wise precautions based on real industrial intelligence for threats, police would likely never even get a mole inside. What destroys every criminal operation is excessive greed or other moral weaknesses. It’s going to be this which destroys most Western governments in the end.
God’s Laws favor those who are just, and treat designations such as “criminal” as merely a fact of business conditions.

Prophet’s Path: Complete and Published

Posted on August 4, 2011 by ehurst

I received no comments or questions. That probably signifies a lack of interest from others, but no matter. This is important to me. The prophetic training manual is complete. You can find various formats linked here (site gone). I’ve decided not host a copy in Word format on the server. Open Document is the format for Libre Office. If you really have to have it in Word, I can export it and send it by email. It might even work.

Stomping Whitey

Posted on August 3, 2011 by ehurst

(This insane rant assumes you read the previous one.)

An IQ test can measure only your ability to take an IQ test. It also reflects the talent of the people who construct the tests and those who administer them. Only by some accident would it actually measure your intelligence.

The whole question needs reform. IQ is merely one aspect of human ability; it measures number crunching from various angles. Depending on whom you ask, there are six or more other measures of intelligence. For example, I’m reckoned by some to have a high Creativity Quotient (CQ). I tend to see connections between things most others do not, they say. But the fundamental question is more of human talent for prospering in one’s environment, maximizing control over the what comes out the other end of each encounter.

Different people succeed in different ways. Invariably, the whole thing can be tested only within a cultural milieu. The very notion of success is culturally derived. Two people from different backgrounds can enter into conflict and both come away feeling victorious for entirely different reasons. If you’ve ever experienced any part of the American prison system, you’ll know men there fear raw physical power, but genuinely respect someone who knows how to keep trying after losing every fight. There is almost a universal respect for honest guards, simply because so few guards are frank and honest. Most of them are sadistic in one way or another, and the guard culture values that. Success itself is a complex and varied concept.

When one particular nation (racial/ethnic group) manages to rise and dominate others, it is little more than an indication of their talent at exercising dominance. In their minds, this makes them a superior race, regardless whether those they dominate care a whit. To them, it’s all self-evident. Those unwilling to dominate may see the opposite answer equally self-evident.

It won’t matter if you call it Western Civilization or European, or Caucasian or simply white. It’s all pretty much the same thing. In the ongoing saga of human empires, whites have stolen everything they could use and currently dominate. Skin color is not really the point, though. It’s really the culture which dominates, the culture now associated with Western Civilization. For the moment, this is the game. If you want a piece of the white man’s action, you’ll have to be somewhat white in one sense or another. At the real nitty-gritty level of daily experience, it won’t matter what depth or shade of tan you wear, except in the initial moments of any encounter. As soon as you display a facility to make them at ease because you are actually one of them, you’re in. It hardly requires servility. In case you are wondering, the single most important factor in the whole question is making the white folks laugh.

Coming at the question of systemic racism changes nothing in the long run. If all you want is personal entrance into the places of wealth and power, it requires merely the talent of fitting in and excelling at whatever the folks there consider success. At first, don’t seek to dominate, but participate. Meet their fears with humor, not attitude, and you’ll go far. Wait a couple hundred years when some other race dominates, and the fundamental question is the same. Only the specific tactics and strategy change. At any rate, be disarming until it’s your turn to be the Alpha male. It surely will be your turn at some point. Focus on the mission; make your methods fit the moment.

If your aspirations are wider, and you want things better for your own ethnic groups, there are several options. One is be patient, because all things pass sooner or later. If you focus too much on the immediate misery, you can’t possibly win anything at all except a few art prizes. Whites are culturally destroying themselves already, and the misery factor peaks just before it’s all over. White skin as a mere fact of human biology will never go away; it’s simply a matter of DNA variation. The matter of white cultural dominance, though, is something far more fundamental about adaptation of the racial aspirations to match the reality of what makes for dominance. If you want what the white race has, learn to abstract the underlying intelligence of dominance itself. It’s not a nice thing at all, and you shouldn’t want it.

If you review the history of civil rights legislation, you’ll realize most of it has been a waste of time and effort. A part of white dominance is the cultural genius at subverting every rule, along with the rule-making process, to stay on top. It takes a solid dose of cynicism to realize white liberals are simply using the perception of inequality as the means to keeping their own little gang in power. The dirty secret? It’s not about their white skin. Only among the real failures of the white race do you see a genuine hatred over skin color. The rich and powerful are color-blind in the sense of skin tone; it’s all about the cultural orientation on success and prissy middle-class comfort versus fears. Obama knows about black culture and African roots, but only enough to play the black culture as leverage for a very white brand of dominance. While the system remains mostly white faced, it’s more important to note it’s white culturally.

Growing up poor white trash, the reason for my family’s lack of dominance was not simply a lack of education. I got a great one. It was our lack of willingness to act culturally white in the sense of what makes for dominance. We didn’t want it at that price. We hated middle class culture, and I still do. Some elements are tolerable, but some very fundamental assumptions are abominable.

It won’t matter what is morally right in a higher sense. You cannot possibly enforce a morality which has no power over the people themselves. There is that little smidgen of truth to the accusation of subconscious racism: The system in place cannot be broken by any form of opposition which uses the system itself. And it’s not enough to oppose the system by suggesting wholesale changes by revolution, either. Even the Russian Revolution required making it distinctly Russian in character. Most of the Soviet system simply absorbed the ancient Russian mechanisms for social control. It requires the adaptive intelligence, the genius to see what will and will not work with the people involved.

Want to see your children owning white slaves? Ask the Jews; America (and every English speaking country) serves Israel, which considers itself a Jewish nation. Granted, that’s national dominance, but Jews in America dominate the banking and entertainment industries, among others. They can be culturally white when it matters; the difference seems negligible to those who are neither WASP nor Jew. But Jewish culture tells them they are different and teaches them to dominate in ways more effective than open rule.

Their cultural goals are different from European whites. They’ll tell you: Take over the current system as it is, by filling it with folks loyal to your dream. Don’t make any changes until you control the levers of power, all the things you know how to use, and on which your target depends. Enhance their dependence.

The current efforts to create systemic balance between whites and others are all hogwash, a total failure. Sure, a few individuals got good things for themselves, but that simply made them partly white. There is a crazy paradox in white culture which demands both individual ambition and tribal loyalty at the same time. You’ll place your other ethnic members in good paying positions, but they’ll never have power if they don’t negotiate their way into the system itself. Despite what you think you see, the real base of power in Washington is not in the cities. The people with the ability to swing the system are the folks who know how to manipulate everyone living outside the urban landscape.

The dominant power base in America is actually another minority of sorts, though not so easily defined as you might think. We associate the right-wing Christian Zionists with Republicans — slavish to Israel. But an awful lot of liberal Democrats hold the exact same orthodoxy and fears. It’s the package of intentionally imprecise fears which runs this nation’s policies. Right now, the path to power and wealth is pro-war, pro-Israel, anti-Islam, super-patriot, ignore-all-else. Conflicts over the likes of gay rights and abortion are simply distractions the powerful use to keep the rest of us under control.

Any dominant ethnic group can rule the city, but you’ll never rise above that because no single city is big enough to touch the whole nation at once. Once this nation comes apart, the whole game changes, and things will be in a dangerous, wild state of flux. In case you didn’t notice, most of the places where minority groups could rule are now in steep decline. That’s largely intentional. Right now, it doesn’t take any particular brilliance to see the people running the system are playing various ethnic groups against each other. It won’t matter if everyone hates whitey so long as they can be persuaded to hate each other, too. Envy is surrender. Encouraging people to demand social justice — equal results in terms of apparent wealth and power, regardless of what you bring to the table — was simply a way to get folks dependent on things no one could afford. When competitors aren’t actually competitive on the same terms because they don’t actually care about the same things, they can be made dependent through faux success. It prevents them pursuing their own brand of success. It was a sucker punch, and it worked.

Another paradox history teaches is you can only defeat a common enemy when they think they are winning and overreach. The Western white culture did it to themselves. The sad part is, they will take everyone down with them, in terms of things they have dominated. I’d love to be around to see what rises in place of it.

Sanity Between Races

Posted on August 2, 2011 by ehurst

Modern social orthodoxy belongs in the toilet.

Do you want peace and prosperity on this earth? Stay in your own neighborhood. Not so much according to the color or ethnic group into which you were born, but where you want to be, and where you intend to make your life. It won’t matter what you are behind the closed doors of your home, nor what you are when you enter any other ethnic neighborhood, but you must come across as something familiar and nonthreatening where you live. You have to mold yourself to be both distinctive and unique even as you absorb the essential identity marks of your chosen “nation.” Even your rejection of social convention must follow accepted paths.

Just so you’ll keep a clear head on this, the fundamental meaning of “nation” includes a single ethnic identity, so USA is not a nation, but many nations. We are an empire, and we do it very poorly. The only thing we get right is the aggression and expansion, the arrogant assumption our wishes are in everybody’s best interest. Otherwise, we are a flop as an imperial power, as events shall soon show. The imperial forces of leadership don’t have a clue that nations within the empire should remain distinct in order to get the most from them, and not get involved in matters which impinge on national identity. Each nation should get along on imperial terms, but broad mixing between nations is just not working. You can’t simply deny the differences, regardless why they exist. America is not a nation.

I’ll give you an example of very public accommodation of your meal-ticket identity. I noticed the recently deceased Amy Winehouse appealed to the Latino market here in the US. Her British family is mostly Russian Jews. Yet, in a few videos, she could be mistaken for Hispanic. Several of her videos place her in the Latino gang scene as one of the babes you would likely see in a barrio command center. The music of such atmosphere appealed to her, and she appealed to it, oddly without the music sounding too entirely Latino.

In order for cosmopolitan chic to work, it has to be rare. Trying to raise the common folk to what many take as a higher level of social accommodation has proven a disaster. This is for royal families and diplomats, and the occasional traveling scholar. Most of humanity would cease being human if they all had to flex too much and know too much about each other. It simply is not an option. We are commanded by God to be divided into a multitude of languages and cultures, and to never, ever attempt social unity again. See the Tower of Babel. Dispersion and differentiation is His command for humanity.

So gather into your ghettos, barrios, communities, etc. Interact sparsely with other groups. There is no need for hostility, and differences do not breed it. What breeds hostility is being forced together in competition for resources. Denying cultural distinctions goes against a very human instinct which is neither morally wrong nor removable. The natural tension between nations and ethnic groups is simply the result of God’s wrath on mankind for defying Him. That factor in our existence is permanent on this plane. The only escape is to belong to another plane, because God has no plans to fix this one. Meanwhile, passing things between cultures will happen without any planning. It works only if there are distinct cultural entities.

All the beautiful theories crash on the rocks of reality. Races are different because God commands it, and working to ignore very real ethnic differences, or favoring any particular one at the imperial level, is a disaster in the making. Leveling is simply not possible, because it is insulting to all races, demanding they must forget everything they discovered on their way to surviving and prospering in this fallen world. When you demand folks mix, one or another must die, must surrender their identity. This destroys something fundamentally human, as people must be free to follow the impulses of their identity confirmation, or identity shift. It is the ultimate tyranny to create policies which place any one or more groups in disfavor, however subtly.

Racial and ethnic distinction is God’s Law. It’s not about me crowing mine is best; it is not. I despise Western Civilization. Nor is that simply perverted self-loathing, but a recognition God has judged it hopeless. Fighting God’s decrees is a begging for pain — now that’s sick.

Notes on Dealing with People

Posted on August 1, 2011 by ehurst

1. Humans have rough edges. You can wish, even hope some, for civility, but I should think we are surprised any more when we get it. That’s no excuse for holding it back. Human encounters can be lubricated in many different ways, but the cheapest and safest is simply kindness and patience.

We probably all know dogs have all sorts of temperaments, but the average dog is pretty patient with humans who matter to them. While it would be harmful in most instances to be as servile as dogs tend to be — such servility from other people invariably corrupts humans — I can see a distinct use for patience. It costs only a little extra time, and we don’t own that, anyway.

2. All humans are messed up in one way or another. Each of us will operate under varying constraints to our rottenness, but the rot never goes away. At any given moment, the constraints will fail. When the failure is small, nobody notices it much. When the failure is big, lots of people get hurt.

While handing power to another human with one hand, put a gun to their heads with the other. It’s not just your own skin, but that of many others.

3. I have a recurring vision in my dreams, very consistent in substance, widely varied in detail. I regard it as a message from God, albeit filtered through my broken human awareness. Sometime in the near future, someone will, for whatever evil motive, decide to add my body to their collection. Someone who does not love me will acquire my services in doing something I probably won’t like much. They’ll take me some place I’d rather not go. I’ll be with a lot of others in similar straits.

It will be the grandest opportunity of all to test all my blather about mysticism.

4. Sometimes the best training for dealing with others is getting away from everyone, and reducing your own sense of being to the minimum of survival. Anything approaching this can be very therapeutic. Because I have so much trouble with my knees and hips, I tend to ride my bike a lot. It’s one of those with the decent frames you purchase at the big box store with all the cheapest components. One by one, those components break and are replaced with better stuff. I ride a mountain bike with tires suited to asphalt, but still usable off road. I’ve been working at extending my distance in this awful heat wave. Today I got about 24 miles (38.6km); it was just over 80°F (27C) when I left and it hit 100° (38C) by the time I got back.

Not only do I get lots of saddle time to think, I suppose there is something of the physical toughness I might need for when my visions become reality. You may be aware physical toughness is not so much about having high physical tolerance, but having a determination to push it. It helps in life to have a fair estimate of your physical capacities. There are times when sacrificing something by going over the limits is the best prophetic statement you can make. This world is not my home…

Prophet’s Path: Final Draft

Posted on July 31, 2011 by ehurst

If you are inclined to comment or just help me edit for typos and such, now is the time to get involved. Here are the links to what I regard the final draft. I am particularly interested in answering questions the material raises so I can reach for some essential clarity. I’m including all the chapters by links below because some have been rewritten.

Introduction — initial considerations
Lesson One — the necessity of mysticism
Lesson Two — basic justice
Lesson Three — just government
Lesson Four — final matters

(Edit: site closed as of 2020)

A note for those who are interested in participating in a virtual Prophet’s Academy: This blog serves as a means to publicity and so forth, but my actual ministry operations are on another blog (site long gone). Anyone who wants to actually work with me in studying the prophetic ministry itself will need to visit there on a regular basis. I sincerely hope this thing gets bigger than just me a couple of associates. I have no interest in running a big show, just getting one started.

City Planning: Yes, But No

Posted on July 30, 2011 by ehurst

The concept of city planning is not the problem we have, but everything we pass through on the way to corrupt and oppressive messes.

I realize it’s not possible to simply create a fresh start here in the US. We are in too deep and there’s really nothing left to save. Pretending for a moment we are around to see a fresh start, I believe the blanket hostility to urban planning is unjustified. I’m neither left nor right, nor do I pretend to be centrist. I’ve already indicated my politics and economics are tribal. Decentralized local government is the key. Social policy belongs to the social leaders, who should be related by blood or marriage to everyone they lead. Civil government takes care of defense and other emergencies. But whomever owns the property should have full freedom to decide how it gets used. A city should be entirely private property, preferably within one family. In the future, we should never permit anything resembling corporations as they now exist. All property must be owned by real people. Call it what you will, but this is what God had in mind when He revealed His Laws.

Having lived in Europe some, and visited a lot of the US and other countries, I’ve seen the full range of good, bad and really ugly. In some future world, I hope things tend to the good for awhile, at least. Barring some devastating plague which nearly depopulates the earth, I think it’s safe to assume the human population won’t recede all that much during the collapse of Western Civilization. Thus, what follows is purely an academic exercise. If you aren’t amused, you can stop reading anytime.

Let’s think clearly about planing our privately owned city. I can think of an immediate example. A primary issue which continues to drive me nuts is automotive traffic. We Americans have made a fetish, even a deity, out of private car ownership. This is sin. It’s hardly necessary for life, but we have allowed life here to develop under the expectation every responsible member of society will be owning a vehicle for personal use. Bad idea. Very bad. You can come up with all sorts of reasons, but were I advising the owners of a planned city, I’d warn them to lay out no streets anywhere near the center of town. For at least a few square miles, there should only be pedestrian, bicycle (or similar human powered conveyances), and service vehicle traffic. The latter should be restricted to non-business hours mostly, except for emergencies. Most of the rest of the outer areas should be well served by something in the way of mass transit.

During the life span of most major cities, those which prevented people from ever developing the car habit in the city center have typically offered a much higher quality of life. If your entire business and government sector develops with the impression this will never change, people who spend much time in the area will simply get used to it. No one will create a work schedule and life habits that depend on private autos.

I write this in part to shock my fellow Americans into rethinking what they hold sacred, as it were. Frankly, a part of why God is dumping His wrath on us right now is related to the habits of mind which sees people throwing a fit, making all sorts of demands, composing vast books of theory, why the city government must not restrict people’s “right” to own and drive their car, and park near their destination in the city. That sort of approach to life is evil. It’s part of the mass mental illness called “democracy.” Make sure cities are wholly owned by private families, and advise them to stand firm on such things. “You wanna come do business here? You do it our way.” Since today’s corrupt civil government operates that way anyway, let’s be honest and keep it manageable.

The notion of secular bureaucratic government entities having total control of whole areas of any nation is an abomination to God. All government should be tied directly to the people who live under their care. Not elected; that’s foolish. Family; folks who darn sure better love you. Someone who takes the time to actually seek your best interest, suffer with you when things aren’t so good, and knows enough to keep cars and trucks out of the city center.
