Pearls Before Swine

Posted on July 6, 2011 by ehurst

There are people in this world you cannot help.

If you persist in trying to help them, you will only get hurt for no good purpose. We give ourselves completely and freely to truth, but we can’t decide that for anyone else. Nor can we pretend we have arrived at universal truth, only that we are committed to it. You aren’t really offering truth, but yourself. It’s the truth you know, and it’s not for everyone. Having and knowing the truth, being able to uncover it before the eyes of another, is not always the point. A part of that truth is there are people and contexts in which your truth is always hostile.

I find myself dismayed by my own demons in this. Truth is not a static pile of facts in properly ordered arrangement. Truth is a Person, and is all about linking others persons back to the Person which is Truth. There are times when being True means playing a child’s game in a child’s imaginary world. The child needs the truth of my caring so that I become significant enough to share the truth outside that fantasy world sometime later. Truth is the investment of building a pathway for tomorrow. Truth is not demanding full submission this day and hour as the price for being in my world.

You need not be indifferent to someone else’s ignorance to let it slide. You do need to know whether and when you are in a position to help them. You don’t give pearls to swine, nor even a plate from your table. You give them the rotting leftovers from your previous feast. If they learn to trust you as a source for what they believe they really need, perhaps they will learn to trust you as the source for things more important. But you cannot make a pig into a buddy. That is, unless you are a pig yourself, in which case you won’t care and won’t read my stuff.

It’s not a question of whether the person is worth your time. It’s a question of whether they are in your reach, and whether the issue at hand makes any difference. The world itself is a big lie, so why should you blindly try to fix every niggling factual mistake? This is why I say the Rule of Law is a fantasy, because it presumes the actual ability to be fair and disinterested on the part of anyone with power to execute the law. To find someone pedantically devoted to the facts means finding someone so deeply flawed they have no understanding of what matters, of why we bother to gather facts in the first place. We do it because people are more important than facts, particularly in the sense of whether people have their facts straight.

It’s not dishonest to offer slop to a pig, regardless what costume someone puts on that pig. Someone who wants slop has declared themselves a pig. In casual conversation, when you meet people, keep your mouth shut and your ears open. Smile and ask polite and careful questions so you know what you are dealing with. To fix old and broken relationships, just shift your tactics. Stop trying to correct their misunderstanding of reality. Be ready to dissolve partnerships not in your partner’s best interest, or at least some of the closeness. Draw back and set them free. You don’t have to wallow in the mud to appreciate the need for creating a mud hole for some folks. Meet their needs at the level they live, so far as you can discern. Deal with people on the level they choose for themselves, not where you want them to be.

Changing a pig to a person is not in your power.

Being Held for Ransom Never Worries the Poor Man

Posted on July 5, 2011 by ehurst

The plundering is not done by half.

The most important thing I can do is help another person get past some barrier, or to be forewarned of a coming threat. For some years I’ve followed the alternative news sources because they generally have a better record than the MSM. Their pursuit of spiked stories often made the difference in how I perceived things. But sometimes you don’t need news stories to know something about the bad stuff coming. And when someone highlights a half truth or the wrong story, it’s worse than saying nothing.

In the US, our future has been plundered in the form of debt obligations. First it was the massive consumer spending come-on, and the building of insatiable consumption habits. Then the jobs were sent away, with bogus promises of the information economy. It never happened. Second, the houses people bought along with all the other stuff became impossible to keep. So there was massive foreclosure actions, but that’s been halted in some places, and that party is about over. And for the coming wave of consumer credit defaults, there really isn’t that much to take.

While we already know the various police agencies have been seizing anything beyond mere pocket change under forfeiture laws, people have figured out how to dodge most of that. So while we can expect this to morph into more different kinds of things being “forfeited” to policemen, that is now clearly on the decline as a source. At the same time, the prisons are overcrowded with petty drug offenders, and lots of normal human behavior is now criminal.

The flooding of the Missouri and Mississippi Valleys has resulted in a bold land grab of submerged farmland. That’s because the Big Agriculture industry is determined to gain full control over food production in the US. FDA enforcement actions are increasingly reducing the choices we are permitted to make in what we grow and buy, and yet giving full open highways for Big Ag. Look for an increasing consolidation of food production. It won’t be so absolute as to block every little backyard garden patch, at least not yet. But the bulk of what you will find available will have come from one of several oligopoly cartel members. Oh, they’ll provide, but it will be what they want you to have, what makes them the most profit, not what you wish.

I keep getting a vision of private gold confiscation. I have no idea how they’ll pull that off, only the certainty they’ll try. If you’ve posted online anywhere about buying and selling gold, they’ll come after you. All private pensions will be rolled over into government programs. All private retirements will become wards of the state, as it were. I expect to see savings plundered in some way or another.

The business over the borrowing limit debate in Congress is a Catch-22. If the Republicans roll over, Congress becomes more of a rubber stamp. If they fight too long, I fully expect the President to declare unilateral authority to raise it himself. I think we’ll all be stunned at how far they can push it, how astronomical the figures can be. If the ratings institutions get too noisy, something will happen to them.

Somewhere down the road, most of us will be slaves of the government. Prisoners are already performing slave labor, particularly in private prisons, but something short of a criminal conviction will be created, rather like the old vagrancy laws. Anyone not gainfully employed in one of the officially approved Big Corporation operations will be forced to work for this or that government program, and some will be rented out on contract. Whether this involves FEMA camps is really not important. Keep your eye on plans for big stuff which is labor-intensive, and where they’ll need the bodies. Look for people to be pushed out of places where bodies aren’t needed for these plans.

As always, I can’t pretend to know how or when on this stuff. This is nothing more than my speculation based on what I can see. Watch the bigger trends; don’t get too wrapped up in individual crises which come and go. I get weary with all the frantic articles about this or that scary thing.

Fukushima will destroy a big chunk of the Japanese population, but here it will mean simply a rising background in sickness and early mortality. I believe the Gulf Oil Disaster is being dealt with, and it won’t be quite the environmental disaster we are expecting. It will be another kind of disaster arising from how they deal with it, using GMO oil-eating bacteria. The only remaining problem is not that there will be more such oil releases, but that there remains too many people on the Gulf Coast to fuss about it. They’ll move or the Corexit and bacteria will kill them. The government doesn’t want people on the Gulf Coast, especially independent folks who aren’t wealthy or petroleum workers.

Those who have will get more, and those who don’t will get even less. The economic middle will nearly disappear, and the gap will be huge between the haves and have-nots. This is not news, but it’s the obvious plan. If you have nothing they want, they’ll leave you alone. If you believe they are herding you in one direction, be prepared to go another and leave before they can cut you off. Train yourself to live as independently as possible.

Premonition Four

Posted on July 5, 2011 by ehurst

(Note the “fiction” tag, folks.)

He was utterly certain no one would expect this.

Of course the raving conspiracy theorists had picked up on the leaks of some sort of false flag disaster, but they were all looking in the wrong direction.

There had been still too much resistance, too many people protesting and willing to actively interfere with the war making. Peace activists were one thing, but the damning logic of the writers and speakers who rallied those activists was a serious problem. There were too many of them to simply take out the big names.

So the climate had to be changed.

It required something unpleasant happen at the premier meeting of their own best publicity agency. Once an up and coming replacement or two was chosen, the grand old man of Christian Zionists could meet an untimely end, though only a year or two, given his poor state of health. Of course, the really important people would be in some closed door meeting elsewhere when it happened.

The promotional team had really outdone themselves. It seemed almost every evangelical church in the country had sent a delegation. This would be the biggest festival by far, right there in DC. Such nice festivities were laid on; too bad it was to be cut short. The bigger the tragedy, the greater the impact.

Of course, it was never hard to find a crack team of real or faux Muslims with Iranian connections. Expensive to lose good men, but it was the price for winning. For the hatred to work, these would have to be found and rounded up for the big show trial. His superiors had learned from the glaring shortcomings of the Trade Towers operation. No cutouts this time.

Of course, this was a much simpler operation in the first place. They would net more than 15,000 victims, when you add the support personnel, vendors, and those who were simply too close to the facility. At the cost of another few thousand lives, the American Zionists would rise in fury at the terrorist act striking at the heart of their rally against the enemies of Israel. They would not be bullied! Everyone who even appeared to support the end of the wars would be a traitor.

He chuckled at the thought of the evangelicals returning to their southern roots and lynching, though not with literal ropes, for the most part. He expected a lot of creative variations. Every major congregation in the US would have their own martyrs. For years to come, until the Americans exhausted their last ounce of energy, they would fight the wars for Israel.

It was time. From his seat near the main entrance to the meeting hall, with lovely energetic music and singing, he stood up and walked out the door. It was the signal. His giddy humor at the thought of getting jihadis to dress in drag, looking like pale-skinned church ladies so they could pass unnoticed in the crowd, was uniformly mistaken for the spiritual enthusiasm of the worship songs by everyone who saw him. A quick handshake or two, and he exited to signaled for his driver.

He was on an errand to the off-site leader’s conference, a faithful messenger of the main sponsoring organization, which was liberally salted with his fellow Mossad agents. The jihadis had no such cover.

He watched the traffic for a few seconds, but said nothing to his driver as the man did his best to fight his way through the mass of vehicles always clogging the streets of the nation’s capital. Instead, he stroked the face of his cellphone, then poked at it a couple dozen times. The text message would set off yet another chain of events of which the jihadis knew nothing. A much larger team of witnesses and informants were in place to make sure the jihadis never got very far. He looked up and smiled a bit to notice his driver had placed them in a fast peloton of taxis heading away from the conference center.

It was critical to get as far away as possible before the devices disgorged their toxic gasses.

Dependence Day

Posted on July 4, 2011 by ehurst

Pardon me while I think out loud, here. Since I don’t take myself that seriously, you are welcome to ridicule or ignore, as you see fit. Meanwhile, I genuinely care about people and I’m trying to understand how I can help. Sometimes just spewing my brains on this electronic graffiti wall might trigger your own understanding of what you really need to do.

I’ve already posted quite often my underlying assumptions about what really matters and how we should face things on this plane of existence. I’ve also made it plain, I hope, my ultimate reliance on revelation from God as to how I should view the entire matrix of what is real. At the same time, readers should know by now I hardly read Scripture the same way mainstream Western theologians do. This is all the background, the terrain upon which I build.

Reading all the brilliant analysis in the world won’t necessarily answer the question of what you should expect. Take it all under advisement, but back off and try to observe as much as possible what is actually happening. Here is what I see with my limited field of vision.

1. The US economy was intentionally destroyed. Everything we can know points to this as fact. Whatever we’ve been doing up to now has not yielded enough support for the program. The more gentle steering touch has not worked well enough; it’s time for a more direct force. Preventing people from doing much with the resources at hand sets things up so the people and the resources can be controlled by others more overtly and efficiently. If everything blocks you from going about the business of life, it’s because someone wants to remove from your hands the decision-making power. They have to stop you from doing what you want, and make you hungry, dependent, pliable to their demands in exchange for your human needs.

2. The US government is gaining more and more direct control over the economy. Not just by regulation, but by outright ownership. Available credit is being increasingly consumed by the government. Available labor, when there is any labor at all, is increasingly government paid labor. All the basic pools of resource are being taken or bought by the government. What does it mean to you when the entire economy itself is simply the activity of the government?

3. The only thing we still produce as a nation, aside from massive quantities of food, is war materials and bodies. The one business which is reliably our greatest output is war. This is growing, and all efforts by hands outside the war machine to restrain are slipping. Watch what actually happens, not what anyone says. The warfare is not winding down anywhere. Meanwhile, most of our allies are backing out of this business. Again, pay no attention to the carping and posturing. America is becoming the West’s army, and all other players are mere tokens and supporters.

4. Money doesn’t really exist; it’s all notional, virtual. It’s currently whatever the market says it is, but that market is highly manipulated by mostly unseen hands. The minions of TPTB who run the markets aren’t really in control. It’s what keeps them in line; they are allowed to believe they have power and wealth. The power to expend resources in warfare only appears to be a matter of money and credit drawn from a market. If TPTB want war, they’ll have it. If the US defaults, it will only be a theatrical event designed to create a mass perception. It’s just an act of hypnosis, as it were. Regardless of all the twiddling in banking computers and the noise in the media, there will be resources and bodies committed to war against a certain range of entities.

5. Currently, the target of most warfare seems to be Islam. That’s not precisely true, though. It’s any nation with the notions of being independent of the banking system. That in itself may be just a means to something else, a way of identifying discrete targets. I tend to believe there is something in all this which seeks to level mankind under the basic materialistic assumptions of Western Civilization. Any tendency to think above the level of this plane of existence, any drive to do things for a genuine higher purpose, is the real target, I believe. I don’t think it matters whether there is any whisker of real truth in any religion, as far as TPTB are concerned. It’s only the apparent effects of a given religion that matters to them. Islam offers a set of motives which aren’t steered by material concerns, so it’s a target. Christianity is already subverted for the most part, and the whole range of Eastern religions currently don’t have enough mass appeal in the sense of making large populations act on non-material motives. Hindu people still fight over food, Buddhists still riot when things get rough materially, etc. They may have to be dealt with later, but the current target is mostly Islam.

Here on the 4th of July, we celebrate one of the biggest lies in history. I’m thinking right soon there will be something which serves as a military draft. It will probably start small, and it need not mean putting lots of folks in uniforms on the front lines, because the majority of all military activity is support functions for the front lines. It’s not exactly a slow drift, but a punctuated series of turning points, each itself a fresh increment toward fear, slavery and murder. I can’t predict specifics, but all the police state stuff seems aimed at suppressing only the peace activists so far. The state identifies with them those who support Palestinian freedom. Actions which tend to cast doubt, or signal an element of doubt, in the proclaimed mission of the state, will garner the same oppressive reaction. The Terror State will soon be aimed at crushing this portion of the population, and anyone who is associated with it somehow will become prime targets.

The Coming US Pogrom

Posted on July 3, 2011 by ehurst

There are surprising parallels between the Soviet Russian Revolution and what we see happening in the US today. That’s because the necessities of enslaving a vast population requires pretty much the same pattern of oppression.

You’ll hear from a lot of American evangelical Christians whining they are under attack, that they are being persecuted by this or that group. This is not exactly true. These Christians are one wing of the dominant ruling apparatus, and their persecutors are simply the other wing of the system, which is a mixed bag of progressive agendas. You’ll notice both sides always promote more and bigger government intrusion into your life. Meanwhile, American evangelicals are very much a part of the dominant political oppressors themselves.

There were several major reductions in population arising from the Communist Revolution in Russia. The first targeted everyone who made Tsarist Russia what it had been culturally: Christian priests, intellectuals, wealthy peasants, etc. Anyone who was likely to resist the revolution was liquidated. In Russia, the most activist Bolsheviks were actually Jews. Here in the US, the same role will be played by the evangelicals. Perhaps not in quite the extreme, but few in America are so rabid about supporting torture and murder as the evangelicals. You can’t pin it down to evangelical theology; it’s a matter of the conservative American middle class culture, which we associate with the Puritans, the Pilgrims claimed as ancestors by the evangelicals. The point is, evangelicals are overwhelmingly conservative middle class pro-win-at-all-costs against whatever brown-skinned people we officially hate this year.

So long as one of their presidents is in the White House, the other wing will reliably remain silent on things like torture, Gitmo, and illegal wars. When it’s a righty in the White House, their complaints are actually rather muted, aimed more at pure partisan competition than honest principled dissent. At any rate, we find the Right is more monolithic, while the Left is much more diverse.

At the top of both groups are the ultra-wealthy who run the vast corporations, who in turn run the government via lobbying and such. You recognize some of the cast of characters: Big Pharma, Big Oil, Big Defense, Big Banking, etc. Most of these appear to be on the Right, but for the Left we have Big Media, along with lots of Big Grant Institutions, and a really major chunk of Big Technology. By far, computer geeks and nerds are rabid lefties. But the only real difference between the major money players is merely cosmetic.

For now it seems the vast array of police atrocities are committed on random targets. That is, the only thing these events have in common seems to be accidentally coming to police attention, or simply getting in the way. Not a few are simply the wrong target due to shoddy police investigation. For the most part, the courts are backing the police. Thus, what we see is a broad-based training and conditioning regimen for police, and a very large and growing case history of excusing these things. With all the various federal armed law enforcement agencies now collected under DHS, and their increasingly underhanded tactics and pervasive spying, we now see it coalescing into a vast secret police terror army. Let me assure you the training plans were in place a long time ago; I caught wind of them while serving in the US Army Military Police back in the late 1980s. It’s not overt, but there is a subtle thread of pervasive doctrinal shift seeping into the entire “profession” of Law Enforcement, making them increasingly hostile and aggressive to anyone who isn’t one of their own.

The Soviet planning which brought out huge waves of murder was based on the thinking and technology of their day. Most of the targets were those who had the intelligence and means to resist. Isolating them in smaller groups for targeting was essential to the plan. The executioners were chosen in part because they were willing to cross those last moral boundaries which the victims just did not believe, even when they saw it with their own eyes. It was too shocking. Most Americans are shocked by what we see reported, but I assure you even worse things never see public report, and precious few are leaked. A significant element behind all those shockingly hostile acts by police against people photographing or videotaping police activity is actively encouraged by that subtle shift across the profession. It won’t matter what the courts do about it, because the police are controlled entirely by these nasty “professional standards.” There is an equally pervasive attitude that no one who isn’t a police professional has any business commenting on what policemen do. Along with this is a vast range of tactics which would make you shudder, crossing those last few moral barriers by small increments.

Now we see what amounts to a depopulation of the Gulf Coast via the “Blue Plague,” which may be a combined result of chemical toxicity and some bio-engineering projects. To depopulate the best farmland is easier, since the Army Corps of Engineers knew this high level of water was coming. The snow pack has been measured and calculated for water volume every year for decades. The heavy rain was forecast for months in advance, and gave them a head start. They had already been holding back vast stores of water behind every dam along both water sheds. This flooding is not some freak of nature.

I’m starting to wonder if the panic over the reactors in Nebraska is the result of carefully engineered leaking. I’m wondering if the fire near Los Alamos wasn’t another panic-inducing farce. Even when these things involve real death and destruction, given our government has already proven a complete disregard for human safety, I’m not sure it isn’t an effort to stampede the sheeple. Something stinks; something is missing, and it’s conspicuous by it’s absence. The problem I have is I can’t name what it is, because it’s nagging at me from the edges of my consciousness.

Somehow we are being blind-sided, and a whole lot of Americans will be either targeted for terrorizing oppression, herded into slavery, or slaughtered outright. Maybe all three. Since I’m expecting a vast improvement in techniques and tactics over what Lenin and his friends used, I predict it won’t be obvious at first. I’m still trying to figure out the common element, who the first targets will be. Given I’m utterly convinced it has something to do with Israel, I’m guessing this will all arise from those who support her perceived enemies in any way, but not all of them at once. That we already have official moves to label as “terrorist” anyone who isn’t sufficiently Pro-Israel is just a symptom.

There’s gonna be an ugly surprise soon.

Modern Exodus

Posted on July 2, 2011 by ehurst

You can read the Exodus account if you like, but most of us know the story. Please, ignore the movie versions, as they are loaded with artistic liberties which detract from the real story.

To summarize, the tiny household of Israel was warned by God to flee the Promised Land. He wanted to grow the household to a larger size in a safe place while He performed some scheduled maintenance in the Levant, in the form of a major drought. At that time, the Nile Delta was the place lots of wandering tribes would visit. This was during one of those strange times when the Royal Egyptian family was more interested in the Upper Nile, and liked having wild nomadic tribes guarding their northern approach. So Israel was granted some space on the Nile.

The Hyksos invaded, and they were much more interested in the Lower Nile. People get confused because these invaders didn’t kill the native Egyptians; they simply became the new royal family. The old Egyptians still thought of Israel as good people, but the Hyksos hated Israel. Intending to build and use it far more than their predecessors, they were not so happy with strong nations occupying all that prime real estate in the Nile Delta. So they began to oppress them, slowly at first, but eventually it became abject slavery. Israel managed to prosper, and the Lord sent a deliverer. God’s quirky management of things saw this young fellow raised by the Hyksos royalty, and a very successful adopted prince he was. The natural royal heir felt threatened, and waited for his chance to get rid of the upstart.

The upstart was equally ambitious. He knew he was actually Hebrew, and thought maybe he could curry his nation’s favor and raise them up to assist his political fortunes and take the throne. But the Hebrews were too cynical about their own fate, and figured this upstart was just going to get them killed, and things were bad enough already. These Hebrews really weren’t very warlike. So they exposed the upstart’s plans and he fled. Meanwhile, the royal heir took his throne and continued the plans, even more oppressive than before. Our upstart went out into the wastelands to the east, and added to his Egyptian education with a long course in ANE meditation and mysticism. He was ready to play shepherd boy for the rest of his life, but the Lord had other plans. He showed Moses how He intended to use him. Deliver the nation, yes, but not by military might and politics.

Moses was a whiner, but went along with it. Eventually he got used to his new role, and demanded his former rival let him take the Israeli Nation out of the Delta. We can’t be sure all the reasons why Pharaoh resisted, since he was a pretty intelligent guy. But while it seemed a matter of economics — he liked having such a vast slave labor pool — it was also a very big matter of politics and competing religions. There was some banter and competing shows of supernatural power, but eventually the Hyksos were pounded by a series of disasters which it seemed Moses was causing by his supernatural powers. At some point, the court magicians were outmatched, but Pharaoh tried to hold out, lest he lose his claim to divinity. Negotiations fell apart, and something struck which killed the prime heir of every family; no household was exempt.

That is, except those in the Hebrew nation. They had ritually painted their door frames with the blood of sacrificial lambs, and this killing thing passed over their households.

The Hebrew narrative is loaded with symbolism and figures of speech. A slavishly literal reading, digging around for precise details, is silly, and shows you don’t get the point. Hebrew writing blends dry detail with hyperbole, because the objective is not some clinical description, but it’s aimed it transporting you into the story, breathing life into the narrative. You were there!

And you are there now. Americans in particular, but Westerners in general, the Lord is unleashing His wrath upon you. We have violated the cosmic moral imperatives and Creation itself is sick of us. The blood of our brothers cries out to God from the ground, and we have defiled every good thing He gave us. Now is the time to figure out the symbolic meaning of the Passover Lamb, because the only hope for escaping this devastation is to paint that blood on your household’s door frame.

I’ll give you a hint: Modern Israel is a blasphemous fake, trying to steal from a history which is not theirs. The Exodus is the single event which gave Ancient Israel life, the defining event of their national birth. Whomever it is now sitting in that land claiming the promises of that Covenant of Moses don’t even know what that covenant requires. They literally fled from the requirements of the real thing, and using the same sort of words as the Law have crafted some perverted mess of rules and silly pedantic reasoning they learned from a very pagan nation. When someone showed up to correct this perversion, they murdered Him. Not a single day, hour, minute, not a single second during the entire history of Modern Israel have they ever once called on the God of Moses. Not for a second have they embraced the Covenant God gave Moses, because not for a second do they even understand what it’s about. God’s own Son said so.

Our American slavery to this perverted enclave of Satanic murderers and thieves is our oppression under the lash of Pharaoh. When the wrath of God comes upon this nation, if you don’t have that blood on the door frame of your household, you will not escape. You have to obey the Laws of God a whole lot better than the folks who claim the legacy of Moses today. You have to rise to the high standard of the Son who explained what that Law was all about, describing a higher Law of God. This isn’t about born-again grace; this is about the Laws and God’s wrath on this level of existence. Something wicked this way comes, and it has your name written all over it unless you show you aren’t part of what keeps us enslaved here.

I’m not Moses, nor am I qualified to tie his shoes. But I refuse to be silent in the face of such incredible arrogance and sin which lays claims to his name. This Modern Israel is accursed, a lie of Satan, a millstone chained to your neck. Cut it loose or drown in their bloodbath. Disavow Israel or watch your family die.

Weekend Outlook for Early July

Posted on July 1, 2011 by ehurst

Too many little items I just can’t resist.

This is a long weekend in the US, as we prepare to celebrate Independence Day on Monday. As if we had anything to celebrate. Fireworks don’t amuse me much, unless they are the human kind.

Dominique Strauss-Kahn (DSK) has served his time in the corner, and can now remove the dunce cap. His accuser has proven a liar with a criminal background, and may be currently engaged in one or more ongoing criminal enterprises. So he lost his seat at the head of IMF, and his replacement is now sitting. Meanwhile, there’s talk of him running for political office in France. The real story? He’s still a scumbag. Once again, we see the Shadow Government employs the most hideous moral wretches. It matches their own insatiable appetite for most perverse sexual activities you can imagine, and some you cannot. It’s part of a pattern, like the Dutroux Affair and the Franklin Scandal.

It’s like walking a tightrope trying to dodge the fake alternative press propaganda and MSM. I was surprised when some very earnest sounding folks tried to defend the likes of Alex Jones when it was mentioned he was pro-Israel. How did that become news? He asserted that himself way back at the beginning of his career, and has reaffirmed it repeatedly. For him, 9/11 was everybody, anybody but never Mossad. And people defending Icke with his tales of Illuminati shape shifters? These days, anybody with a sponsor is almost certainly lying about one thing or another. Have we forgotten how all the really rich people and organizations got that way? The bankers control all the money except for a few piles of precious metals, so if you have very much, they allowed it for their reasons; don’t imagine they aren’t watching and controlling it.

But plenty of those with no apparent liabilities are thinking and saying we are due for a big and ugly false flag, maybe even over this long weekend. It will surely be used to cover up all sorts of mischief. Take a glance at the hundreds of conspiracies arising from independent investigations of 9/11. This guy made billions on insurance, all these folks skipped work that day, Muslims were tagged, as was a couple of countries absolutely not involved, some vast hordes of gold disappeared, all the bean counters at the Pentagon were killed and their investigative files destroyed, lots of fancy new technologies were tested… I can’t keep track of all the crazy stuff crammed into this one event, and just about all of them seem plausible. What I’m saying is almost all the various theories a likely true at the same time, that all the greedy hogs lined up at the trough and everyone got their bellies filled. Trillions of dollars were moved in very many ways all from one event, and we are still seeing money leaking out from it. I can’t wait to see how creative they get with the next one, and who’s turn it will be to profit.

I ran into another tranche (gotta love that word) of whimpering and panicking by evangelical Christians over something which has bothered me for quite some time. Back when I first ran across some Neo-Pentecostals (AKA Charismatics), they were going on about how Satan and his demons could get a doorway through our words, or through our exposure to something particularly odious. Granted, if you expose yourself to certain types of sin, it will whet your appetite for more of the same, until you discover yourself drowning in some unspeakable perversion. For example, mild porn leads to nasty porn leads to violent porn leads to gay porn leads to … you get the picture. Keep digging into it and you’ll need a higher shock value to get the same thrill. Standard addiction which requires ever increasing dosages. But that’s not the same as having to watch over your words, as if Satan can use your figures of speech to create curses. I was told not to call my niece a “cute little doll” because that curses her — “She’s not just a doll, not just a toy!” Of all the Aristotelian nonsense; the majority of the Bible is figures of speech and symbolism. Sheesh, “word curses!”

But the biggest stupidity is fearing some genuine academic review of something outside our beliefs. It’s as if I have to get from God a special dispensation to go learn about Hinduism, or read a little bit about Aleister Crowley. They forget two of the greatest heroes of Scripture knew more than is even available about pagan black magic today: Joseph and Daniel. Joseph could probably name the entire pantheon of Nile gods, and as Pharaoh’s vizier, most certainly had to carry out ceremonies addressing these deities. He probably knew exactly how the magicians later turned their rods into snakes when Moses came around a few generations later. Daniel learned quite a bit about the ancient Sumerian and Akkadian pagan practices, not least of which included Astrology.

No, there’s no life in those things. Will Satan somehow be granted some great power over me because I dared to look into them? Will he be permitted to suck me in and destroy my faith? I think evangelicals give him entirely too much credit. No doubt my power is insignificant against Satan, but I was sealed against his authority by the Blood of Jesus. If my God can’t protect me at that level, what’s the point in serving Him? I won’t waste space chasing the heresy of synergism here, look it up, but Paul bluntly said that was wrong. He kept using this term “election” and said what it meant. Part of it means I’m not going to get stupid enough to fling a challenge in God’s face. If I can get that stupid, I’m not elect. No, I’m not in the same league as Joseph and Daniel, but I follow Someone who made both of them look silly.

I fear the Lord, not a fallen angel forced even in his rebellion to serve the Divine Purpose.

The weekend outlook here in Central Oklahoma is continued high pressure dome, which means continued hot and dry. Our weather folks make a big deal out of 100° F (38C) but anything over 90° (32C) is uncomfortable here. My poor tomatoes keep bursting from the heat just as soon as they get ripe; the ants get them before I do. Here’s hoping the cantaloupe fair better; there are two already showing the brown scale on their skin. I think my garden matters more than the likes of DSK.

A Genuine Revolution

Posted on June 30, 2011 by ehurst

We have plenty of fake revolts, and none of them will really make anything better.

Let’s establish one thing from the start: I don’t expect to lead a revolution in the usual sense of the word. Indeed, I proclaim loudly and repeatedly you can’t fix anything that way. All you are doing is replacing one bad government with another, which will eventually go bad in its own way. Most Westerners are so fixated on trying to stay within some mythical rules of democratic social structure, and a fantasy about the will of the people, as if this would fix anything. The definition of insanity includes refusing to recognize the problem is not a failed implementation, but a failed system which ignores reality.

I’ve written here often, sometimes at length, on what I insist is the only proper moral foundations for governing fallen humanity. I summarize the fundamental point of departure as: No one has any business poking around in your life who isn’t related to you by blood or covenant. The only government God approves of is your own family relations. This is particularly true regarding matters of social welfare. Thus, the proper academic label for my political agenda is “tribal.”

Without hashing once more what that means, if you are just now stumbling across this blog or you haven’t seen enough of my stuff to understand, you can find more ~~in this overview~~, and ~~this discussion of laws~~ (site closed).

So let’s pretend we have a group of us who would like to implement some of this. Not because we are stupid enough to believe any significant portion of humanity will join a political movement, or that we could somehow create a foundation upon which to build a new nation, or anything so ambitious. All we want is just however much of the good life as is possible from the hand of God in our very real circumstances today. Yes, the West is crumbling, and as it does, there will be power vacuums of various types and sizes all over the place. When one oppressive and overbearing government run by psychopaths breaks down, you don’t have liberty, you have a fresh crop of psychopaths trying to seize the opportunity to create a new order to benefit themselves. They would be hindered by the rise of some other form of social order.

That’s our starting point: We are not trying to create a new government, but to prevent one. We are striving to weaken all governments because all governments likely, or even vaguely possible, will be inevitably evil. Granted, there has to be some sort of organizing principle of social order which would define resistance to bad government, but there need not be a government, per se, only something which prevents it by removing the need for it. Most emphatically, the current Western libertarian visions of orderly anarchy will not ever be possible with fallen man. Somebody has to be in charge, because it requires a warlord to resist threats. That’s purely human nature. If no one gives the battle order, there won’t be any resistance to the onslaught. Nor is it a question of how the resistance is organized and deployed, but what becomes the motivation to resist in the first place, and how that warlord is chosen, on what basis. It has to match the genuine needs of a very real human nature, not some imaginary construct, a silly Aristotelian dream.

What basic and fundamental human motive never fails, is always there, is the one which manifests when all else does fail? The tribe. Even the whiniest wimp will offer at least a token resistance for his tribe. See the news about the gang defying all sense in their fight with the police? That’s a tribe. It’s an artificial one, and it will come apart if you hit it long enough and hard enough, but it will take more than most governments are willing to do, or at least do well.

Take a hint: How did Hamas “take over” the Gaza Strip? You probably know Hamas arose from the murky political mists of the Islamic Brotherhood, a movement which is hardly easily defined, and not all that cohesive by Western standards. However, the driving force to make it into a viable political organization in Gaza was actually the funding and protection offered by Mossad, simply because it was a way of weakening Arafat and the PLO. The problem is, Hamas was pretty successful. Not just able to shoot more of their enemies than they lost in running gun battles, Hamas actually won the hearts and minds of a majority of voters. Nobody can dispute with any degree of rational seriousness that Hamas is truly the chosen government of a majority of those living in Gaza. It wasn’t through arm twisting, but through social welfare. Hamas earned the loyalty and trust of the people.

It won’t matter whose propaganda labels Hamas a “terrorist organization.” Hamas is the genuine, valid democratic choice of the residents of Gaza. It’s their government, the one they want. It’s democracy in action. Unless someone is willing to depopulate Gaza completely, Hamas will not be going away, so long as they continue the policies that got them in power. Israel is wholly unwilling to offer anything better. Most Gazans belong to the Hamas Tribe.

If you are going to rely on force against some group, which has occupied a territory long enough for them to believe they belong there, you have to go all the way, or don’t bother. It’s a very real fact of human nature the only way to really win a war is not remove the means to resist, but remove all resistance itself. Most of the time, that honestly means removing the people. As you might expect, I’m hardly in favor of that, but it’s the reality even I am forced to admit. Please note, resisting an occupier is a different game than conquering a resident population. Driving off an invader is always easier than conquest. Hamas only has to do what they do for their constituency; Israel would literally have to kill all of them.

The same goes for our idiocy in Afghanistan. Want to stop the Taliban? Kill them all, and anyone who shows the slightest inclination to support them. Once that’s done, it means colonizing the land with a different sort of people, folks who share the invaders’ culture. Of course, the US military lacks the intellectual honesty to adopt the tactics and strategy that would actually accomplish that. The other viable option is offering a better deal than the Taliban. Of course, that would require getting inside the heads of the Afghan population, knowing what they really want. It means offering the social stability and quality of life that would make the Taliban appear evil. I don’t have room to describe in detail what that requires, but it’s enough to note no one in the US government has a genuine intention of actually winning in Afghanistan. Our government’s intentions, a poorly kept secret the majority prefer to ignore, has nothing to do with making anything better for that population, nor the one here.

On a much smaller scale, if you were to see a genuine need to counter the predations of the current official system of government, and those which will arise when that government collapses in the near future, you would have to create a social stability currently missing. It really wouldn’t take that much in terms of resources, but it would be very time intensive. Do you want to lead such a move? You are probably morally unfit. Do you think it’s necessary, but are reluctant to get involved? Then you might be a good candidate. If you see it as the only way of protecting your own family from predators, you at least understand what’s at stake. Create your own tribe.

Not your own gang, and certainly not some neighborhood watch society or whatever — those are poor substitutes. You’ll have to toss in the trash everything you learned in Civics class, because the moment you organize in that fashion, you are ripe for hijacking. No, simply create a family bonding, a sense of kinship. It must be entirely voluntary. It is the ultimate in non-organizational bonding. The amount of time you must devote is staggering. You’ll have to be so very patient with everyone in all their vast array of differences, taking them where they are, offering only what they will accept, on whatever terms they accept it. They have to know more than anything else you actually love them, even if they don’t think in those terms. If you care, they’ll know at least subconsciously. That’s because the bond is not primarily conscious, but subconscious.

It has to be the sort of thing they’ll seize upon when they panic, when conscious intellect fails. Maybe you don’t have much of anything that helps them with their needs right now, but if you don’t establish the willingness to sacrifice what you do have, you can’t gain any ground at all. However much they open the door, come on in and pour out some genuine positive regard. Though you know sure as the world some of it will come back to you in one way or another, don’t ever think of it as an exchange. It’s all one way until the horrifying moment when they have no other place to turn.

If you are a Christian, that’s called “evangelism” as the Bible intended it. If you don’t embrace Christ, you can call it what you like. The underlying principle is the same; it’s something fundamental to human nature. All it takes initially is something like, “Howdy, neighbor!” Do it consistently. Smile, make jokes which poke fun at yourself only. Disarm their resistance, yet don’t ever be suckered by their games. At least one of my neighbors is a manipulative charmer, a fairly attractive divorcée two decades younger than me. She’s used to getting certain things certain ways; I doubt it’s entirely conscious on her part. She’s not evil, just very badly conditioned, having absorbed too much of the perverted modern American culture. I call her “neighbor” and try to help, but I consciously resist the charm stuff. It’s not in her best interest, and certainly not in mine. She knows consciously I’m a deeply religious man, that I am otherworldly, but probably not much more, and probably not interested. But when disaster strikes, she’ll know where to turn. That’s enough. There is no programmed plan to “convert” her, because I’m not selling my religion for rational consumption. When she needs my faith, she’ll be moved to ask, because she’ll need it on a level where it counts. Until then, she’s not capable of absorbing my faith.

Meanwhile, there is this matter of consciously working to resist bad government. There most certainly is a type of salvation which applies only on this level of existence. That’s what the word “religion” is really about. It’s the combined pattern of behaviors, along with a range of rituals and symbols and ideas, which together give shape to something which cannot be explained. My religion reflects my faith; they are not synonymous. You can adopt my religion without having any part of my faith, and it must of necessity be voluntary in the same way. In this case, my religion is this revolution I’ve been describing. The most revolutionary part is you take only as much as you can tolerate. Slice and dice; pick and choose. It works out the same for me any way at all, unless you become an outright enemy. As Jesus said, real religion is caring for those in need. I don’t want more of you than you think you can afford to offer at any given moment, and I don’t expect you to take more of me than you want. I don’t want control at all, and I don’t want anyone else to have it.

But it’s not the libertarian Nirvana of anarchy, either. You can give it whatever name you like, but by taking the initiative to show I care, the tribe is formed. It exists on a level no human government can touch. In case it didn’t occur to you, when I really need something from them, they’ll bring it if they know about the need. But as the external order weakens, the doorway for me is wider. It won’t be me taking charge; anyone who has the right answer can take charge for the moment of need. It’s not about me. It’s about surviving the disaster because someone has taken the time to build up the sense of community. The more I pursue this, the more others will do it, relating to each other independently of me. It’s all good; it doesn’t have to come through my hands. It’s not based on everyone being on the same sheet of music at all. There are no principles to teach; it’s entirely a matter of real human nature and instinct.

The genuine revolt is when nobody needs government.

Yet Another Opinionated Rant

Posted on June 29, 2011 by ehurst

In which I pontificate impotently about all manner of things I hardly understand…

The coup d’etat was when the globalist bankers subverted all the governments of the Western world. The same coup is still at work in the rest of the world. Everything going on right now as a revolt against the global banking system is simply an attempt to drive out the foreign occupiers. But rioting is not the same as revolt. We’ll see lots of the former, but I doubt the latter will happen.

Greece won’t revolt, not really. As I watch the protests, I don’t see sufficient strength of character to gather the power of the people and remove the leadership who sold them out. Given the high degree of corruption burned into the very culture of the nation, it really won’t matter who’s in charge. Right now, about the most interesting thing possible is for the unions to combine and take over the government, but that will only change who shows up for the protests, if that.

The Irish won’t revolt, either. All those truly willing to pull the trigger have been absorbed into the likes of the IRA, and they are run by a branch of the Illuminati, indirectly. Had they been truly serious about taking back Northern Ireland, they could have done it long ago. The IRA leadership betrayed them repeatedly, and will again. The whole idea was to keep things stirred up so the Irish could never recover their independence again. They have the cultural roots for effective independence, but their will has been sapped over too many generations.

Do you really think the British government could squash a genuine Irish revolt? Not for quite some time. It’s not about military power, not any more. The single greatest vulnerability of the British has always been the compliance of the population. There is no nation in the West more utterly servile and domesticated than the British. They lead the world in police state outrages. They’ll tolerate the most egregious blatant oppression, and when they get whipped on the field of battle, they surrender all proper and orderly. The Irish haven’t half tried to terrorize them, because it would have worked. A very large contingent of the Illuminati live in Greater London, so they protect themselves by ensuring their people are in charge of everything, including Britain’s enemies. Britain is so absurdly vulnerable, it simply demonstrates the effectiveness and efficiency of the Illuminati subversion. So far.

Iceland revolted successfully because their system remains fairly honest and uncorrupted. It didn’t require lots of bloodshed. There are moves now to disentangle more completely from the global banking system. They’ll suffer more for this than if they had agreed to bail out the bankers, but I sense it will pay off in the long run. I sincerely hope they stick to their guns.

The US won’t revolt, either. The people with the real money and power here are all Neo-Conservatives, servants of Zionism. They cynically manipulate a vast horde of evangelicals and related American Zionists, up through some truly powerful servants like Hagee, the Bushes, etc., and that class of elites. However, those who write the opinion pieces for the major outlets don’t care a whit about the future of the American people. It’s all a cynical ploy, using calls for American greatness, while recklessly blowing through vast piles of deficit spending, just to benefit Zionist policies. The liberals have a similar pro-Zionist leadership, though they focus more on keeping the liberal crowd fractured, stirred up over side issues. Every organization popping up to challenge the system will be hijacked, marginalized and scandalized, or simply destroyed. The real coup was to ensure America does only one thing, and that’s serve Israeli foreign policy. Once we are all used up, we’ll be tossed aside like an old whore.

There is a vast network of human and electronic intelligence carefully searching for any organizing of dissent. Once organized, it becomes a target for action by TPTB. If you manage to organize in your community to resist, say Agenda 21, look for thugs to vandalize, break in, threaten, even murder your leadership. Most of the big police-state dramas, the unconscionable violent action by authorities, are really about this very kind of thing. It’s not being honestly reported, not even by the alternative news writers. Nobody wants to give us the rest of the story. It’s really easy to shut down an honest and strong leader by destroying someone close to him who is more vulnerable. If they were psychopathic enough to not care, they would be in the current government or more mundane crime.

Leaderless Resistance is a great idea, but also “pie in the sky.” That is, it requires at least one full generation of careful strong education. It requires a level of commitment foreign to our culture. So the answer is creating a new culture. There is no shortcut, and we don’t have time to do much for our current problems. In other words, an effective armed revolt, an honest to goodness revolution, isn’t possible.

Again, it’s not because the Illuminati are demigods, or super-intelligent aliens, or anything like that. But if I can figure some of this stuff out, as can others from whom I get some of this, I’m pretty sure there are some evil geniuses who could work it all out before I was born. What began as simply making the most of a local situation by psychopaths becomes an opportunity to network with others in their locales so everyone gets better protection and more loot. It spreads like cancer. Yes, eventually the host will die. Eventually TPTB will run out of room to operate. The Illuminati will miscalculate because they clearly don’t understand everything.

This is where my rant gets most thoroughly opinionated, because everything I’ve seen shows the Illuminati — whomever they may be — are utterly Western, Aristotelian. They don’t reckon on the limitations of such an epistemology. They seem to ignore the vast thousands of years of human history which came before the last couple of millennia. In those uncountable millennia before that, a much broader view of things prevailed. That broader view is currently hemmed in by a feverish growth in technology, but not gone away. Once we finish destroying the Northern Hemisphere with the likes of nuclear volcanoes spewing radiation poisoning into the jet streams, those who hold that non-Western view will again dominate what’s left of the earth. Aside from the awful radioactive mess we leave behind, I doubt we’ll be long remembered, and the Illuminati will go down with us.
