‘Conspiracy Blogs’ bigger threat than Stalin, Hitler

Let this be a lesson to those who would stage false flag terror attacks in the future in order to goad their populations into supporting wars of aggression for what are ultimately profit motives: you will be held accountable. You will not defeat wisdom, nor shall you silence those who seek the truth. You cannot obscure the evidence and you can only fool all of the people some of the time: you Will be defeated.

The attempt to equate citizens whose solemn duty it is to hold government to account with the despots of yesteryear shall not go unnoticed. The 9-11 truth movement as a whole are the Real patriots who care deeply about this country and its reputation in the world. One commenter’s words are a chilling and pointed indictment of the mind games used by the mainstream media to slander any of those who want to switch off “the movie” and offer humanity a sound historical analysis of events (what used to be called JOURNALISM):

“”Studies of internet sites reveal an unholy alliance between left-wing 9/11 conspiracy theorists, right-wing Holocaust deniers and Islamic fundamentalists.”

I recall a History Channel documentary about OKC that repeated the same meme (from James Woolsey, no less), substituting “9/11 conspiracy theorists” with OKC conspiracy theorists. It’s an amazingly effective meme, because it sutures Holocaust denial with militias and Muslims. In other words, anyone who opposes the government domestically or externally is a Jew-hating conspiracy theorist.” -Simuvac

Artisanship has devolved into planned obsolescence, to sustain the consumer and debt cycles and thereby the business cycle created by our fiat money systems we are forever tied to the endless cycle of production, consumption and waste at the end of which the earth is soured and the skies darken.

Merely a few generations ago people still had things they used that had been handed down for generations, furniture was a good example. Heirlooms crafted with excellent workmanship and engineered to last a lifetime or 10! Today we we go home at the end of a long day at a job we don’t care about in whats left of the economy, to “our cozy little flat in noweheresville and pull our ikea curtains shut and try to hide from the big bad world and pretend it inst happening” we plead with our owners who have designed a world not fit to live in for us, their slaves, “just leave us alone, just let me have my tv-dinner and my steel belted radials and leave me alone”. “Well I am not going to leave you alone, I want you to get MAD! I want you to say I am a human being god damn it! My life has value!”

There is an alternative to the one-dimensional society of a one-dimensional man, where the individual drowns in a sea of synthetic junk and junk information: stop giving your love to things, build communities, give you love to other people and above all else consume in moderation and always be mindful of what you are supporting with your money oh consumer. Fuck all the nonsensical gadget bullshit people are obsessed with, fuck the entire consumer culture. grow your own vegetables, talk to your family, help people who have no one and nowhere else to turn: “be the change you wish to see in the world”!

Is there any doubt that AIPAC wields more influence on our governmental processes and on our foreign policy in the middle east than the will of the American people? this administration like the ones before it will be pro Israel no matter what atrocities are committed because that is the agenda. More globalism, more control, more support for inhumanity and the agenda of the elite who own the planet on which you live coming to fruition.

Meanwhile the majority of the population is totally convinced at the importance of the CEO while ignoring the internal dynamics of the corporation called THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. And we deny the product, whether the product becomes debt, war or misery.

Until the American people are outraged, until a majority of the electorate is mad as hell about this sort of atrocity absolutely nothing will change.

We should shut down AIPAC and cut all aid to Israel until a settlement has been achieved we should not involve ourselves in this affair. If we are going to get involved, at this point, due to the aggression of the Israeli fundamentalists it would be better to relocate the Palestinians to a new geographic location and then create a moratorium on any and all cooperation with Israel because unless it isn’t clear to you by now, the nationalistic and racist movement known as Zionism is a bully.

I am not pro muslim, and I am not anti judaism. I am not for or against any race or creed in general, I just know a bully when I see one.

One must have the intellectual courage to, once and for all; admit that there are no histories, that all history is merely a subjective and partial account. That even if we had a vast sensory array capable of sensing the entire planet in real time down to the molecular scale, that if we could pass that data into a relational system where it could be digested by software and rationalized by human users, even then we would have merely a More Accurate Historical Account and not, as we should very much like to have, a real History!

This is intellectual conscience itself, this is the key to the final door and it is, embodied, wisdom, for it is the love of knowledge itself.

To attack oneself and one’s own proofs, to never rest and to even invite attack from others that is the sign of a healthy and robust mind.

To acknowledge that even a point particle model of the entire universe in real time would only offer us a Model and that no matter how sophisticated that model may be, it is still an incomplete synthetic reference, to admit this! Such admission is the sign of our true future, a future where man comes back into harmony with nature, where technology is instrumentation and not a mere crutch for a hobbling civilization. For beware, though you climb to the greatest height, if you do so with such a crutch, when you arrive there and put that crutch away your stance may falter!

Science as instrumentation which allows the greatest instrument, Mankind, to play the music of the spheres, for the universe truly is a sort of fractal hologram and we are, all of us, inextricably bound up in this integral nature. Man as a tuning fork which may resonate the purpose of organic life, man as steward over organic life not the master, not the servant, but mankind as a key, mankind as an instrument on which the meter of the universe can be made sensible as a sort of living music.

“Obama already betrayed the US population on FISA, bailout, Iraq, Afghanistan and MUCH more. Yet they STILL think he represents change. The leader of millions of superficial idiots.” -stevedtrm

The case is clear and this citation is but a partial list. Is the claim that a majority of the American electorate is blind to history, they are blind to what happened even last week, not empirically justified by the election of so naked a charlatan? It is more telling the way adulation and praise abound for someone who merely is a good rhetorician and yet is a very bad and dishonest statesman. The way he is being trumped up the world over is very disconcerting to me, the agenda of the CFR thus apparently bears fruits, by controlling the media of the world one can indeed control perception.

But it is the model offered by Dostoevsky that I find encouraging, the man who upon beholding the crystal palace of perfection folds his arms akimbo and says “I don’t like it”. For it is this capacity within our species that encourages me, the capacity for variation which precludes the triumph of falsehood. You can never silence All opposition and even if we today beheld a truly Orwellian system where people are drugged into submission and blinded by so extensive a system of propaganda that the vast majority march in lock-step with whatever brutality a ruling elite desire to force unto the people as an ethos, e would still bear witness to the exceptions to that tyranny: no matter how bad it gets this only Increases the probability for the system to throw exceptions.

The higher the pressure on the system the greater escape velocity for ejected material. And where are these intrepid searchers and researchers going? Where are these strange fish swimming, these birds who fly out, across a vast and seemingly infinite ocean, where is it that they are all heading?

It is they who shall decide the future, for the world truly does revolve inaudibly around the creators of new values.

The right to keep and bear arms isn’t about hunting, nor is it about protecting yourself from muggers or robbers. It was written by men who, having fled the internecine struggles of Europe and having inherited the totality of the western renaissance culture, understood with the acumen of a Machiavelli the very real and omnipresent need for the people to protect themselves against a tyrannical government.

The right of the people to Keep and Bear arms shall not be infringed. It is sad to see that people must occasionally be utterly ruled to the extent of their own mortal peril in order to understand the importance of such a provision.

Atheists Don’t Believe in God

I can neither prove nor refute the existence of deity, as a quantum dualist I must assume that the unified field of energy underlying existence may in fact have a type of consciousness most akin to the taoist concept of “the way” or perhaps o the transcendentalist notion of the “over soul”. Is that deity? I cannot say, to be honest its not really a subject that interests me because i cant prove much about it so why even bother myself with it. thats what gets me about religious people, they all seem to think they can know the mind of god etc, ludicrous. if there were a god or gods how could anyone know what they think and if so why should anyone else belive them! The saddest thing is I am sure some religious person will come along and argue some insane inherency via a Kantian treatment. that is how silly people can be, they have a personal need for there to be a god and will go to any length to create a system which proves his existence.

In a fight against global corporatism and the dominance of an elite people of faith often are my natural allies, whats more I find that on the whole they are also decent people, perhaps even more so than my atheistic friends. But to be perfectly honest its about a horse a piece, neither group has an exclusive claim to be more ethical or humane.

I think it is important to tolerate both because one cannot prove or disprove the point of contention to within a reasonable degree of probability.

When it comes to the theoretical application of a process, or the perspective of that process as accounting for variation etc, again it is important to go with which system is more probably true based on evidence and examination. Available evidence suggests that “evolution” (which is a very complex concept and should not be mistakenly considered to be a codified set of principles in any sense although clearly one could make a list) is the most reasonable explanation for a range of aspects in cell biology. Although we may not understand this process completely, and we may never truly understand it thus not ruling out the hand of some unknown and unknowable god (for instance we might say that our thoughts have some influence on the process or our feelings this would hold with a qm view and yet seem metaphysical enough to insight notions of the divine), we can safely understand the process from the perspective analysis justifies.

The real danger here is interpretation and attitude. As with all science, it is a question of how you use it, it is a tool and one can wield a tool for humane and beneficial purposes or for brutal and inefficient ones.

Evolutionary theory was used to underwrite a gilded age philosophy of might makes right, it has been used again and again by some to underwrite their own arrogance and sense of entitlement to brutalize and dominate others. While we might never wish to dismiss the concept of a theory of rank, we must come to understand that absolute necessity of the whole, we can never make the mistake of thinking we know more than we do! Often one becomes arrogant because they think they understand a complex system well enough to safely make decisions, this is utter folly, one can never understand any system this well and must always make a decision with caution and a circumspection informed by tolerance.

History is full of examples where sweeping decisions were made about systems and the result was that those decisions broke the system because they overlooked or neglected what was vital, sweeping it away out of ignorance as to the integral nature of the system and the role each integer played!

Who knows, perhaps we atheists should learn something here, perhaps as a species we even Need this idea of god now more than ever. If not for ourselves than for others, though it bears incredible risks, it may still serve some vital purpose! Of course my instinct is not friendly to that view, I see religion as a source of manipulation and some of histories greatest atrocities.

Do People Become Atheists so They Can Act Immorally?

There are probably some people who do, but largely no, in fact most atheists start out religious because that’s how they were indoctrinated and gradually come to openly oppose religion after conducting analysis. In my own life I have spent nearly a decade making a comparative study of world religions, from the Elder Eddas to the Eleusinian Mysteries, I love the perspective of religion as astro-theology when it comes to judeo-christianity but the same thing applies to many other systems. Many of the earliest metaphysical systems that we might call pagan religions are closer almost to a quantum view of nature, in that they posit that there are “gods in all things” etc.

The problem here is that without morality one must stand on ethics, which is sufficient, but requires Other People to hold a person to a standard. Deity is more effective because it uses the Threat of repercussions after death (about which we have no experience and therefore it is terrifying) or within this own life via an omnipotent and omnipresent mind. We mustn’t forget however that morality is a perspective informed by a set of values which are human, they are not divine, and they are codified by humans. Thus the two approaches are identical! It is just that with the moralistic one there is an injected fear of divine reprisal to sweeten the pot and keep people from doing ill to one another or acting unjustly. But isn’t this also the source of a greater volatility within the morality system? All too often we have evidence of god being used as the justification for bloodshed!

I prefer ethics, without a concept of the divine, governed by a culture (which, as plato reminds us, is a difficult thing to produce and should be our primary concern) a culture which rigorously pursues the concept of justice.

racing towards singularity like monkeys strapped to a rocket sled, all of them whooping and screeching to speed up, OBLIVIOUS to the wall we are about to hit.

genetically tailored children, cyberization, transhumanism, AI, artilects, organic chimeras.

we are in a desperate race toward oblivion and everyone is leaning on the accelerator. everyone thinks this is a very good thing and it is, in fact, our doom. as dangerous as the internecine conflict wrought by tyranny and religion but far more complete and utterly devastating.

what we are witnessing is not a migration to a new kind of humanity, we are witnessing the end of humanity itself. a very peculiar occurrence in my view, because, as a student of human history, I would argue that never in the history of our species has the species, as a species, really possessed humanity to being with.

how typically human of us to destroy the opportunity for something precious in the pursuit of something fantastic. eschaton, singularity and any other term is essentially the same as apocalypse.

What and who you are now is irrelevant, you are an atavism and all of humanity hitherto is an ape and laughing stock: this is the view handed to us by the insanity of modernism. This not futurism, this is not a preservation of humanity and a movement forward from a technical standpoint, it is the deliberate destruction of humanity and a sacrificing of it to technology. The very scientists who repudiate metaphysics and its systems are themselves ushering in a sort of paganism and blood offering that will encompass and ultimately consume the entire species. like Mayan priests they are sacrificing the children of man on the altar of their own arrogance to an uncertain future, a future so uncertain that we can only refer to it as singularity.

all of our machinations thus far have wrought error, chaos and suffering. yet we are so blinded by our desire to live that we negate the totality of our experience and pronounce this miserable ease as holy!

so arrogant are we that the elite among us, now as ever in our history, seek total domination on an unprecedented level. so completely and mindbogglingly arrogant are we that despite our poisoning of everything around us, we seek to move forward and tamper with even more fundamental aspects of our existence and our world; verily, we even seek to reshape mankind himself via our oh-so perfect understanding.

we do not even understand our origins and yet we seek to reshape our very selves! children starve and go uneducated, we murder each other and enslave each other and yet we want to give birth to artilects and to cyberize the human body! we want to push off from ourselves again and again as if somehow by running from ourselves we could overcome our failings, when all along we had the power to overcome those failings without technology.

it is as though the more we advance technologically the more we regress as a species to a sort of blind and uncaring animal, as brutal and stupid as any wild creature especially toward ourselves but also towards others. but it is a new brutality, a perfect and utterly human brutality and this aspect of our humanity, in my view, shall be the only thing which survives once we have wiped the slate clean.

we are more complex than we know, but we mistakenly assert things like “our genetic code is a complete representation of us” or “our dna is a digital code for human life” when, in fact, it is merely one piece of a much larger puzzle. Yet we are so confident, as we have always been confident, that we possessed the complete picture, that we boldly press forward at our own peril. This is how we ruined the earth and it is how we will ruin organic life itself.

Because we were arrogant enough to stand on our proofs as convictions, because we were bad scientists and fell into the trap of Belief!

racing toward self destruction, miserable, over-worked, while the earth sours and the skies darken, toiling ceaselessly at our own demise, neglecting our origin, neglecting the true promise of technology, neglecting each other. Unaware of what we are, never the less producing a new type, like every parent that came before us – inexorably reproducing ourselves out of existence.

when if we had only slowed down, if we had only stopped and stood still we could have gathered the missing data for our iterative set theory of value!

I find myself wanting to conquer the world, I want to crush the modern world, the religious and the technological! I want to hit the reset button on you humanity: BECAUSE YOU HAVEN’T LEARNED A FUCKING THING.

Once you get rid of the body there is no we anymore, there is no human anymore, there is only intellect as anti-nature. this is a will to self destruction codified as a technical solution to a nonexistent problem. our inability to excel at computation isn’t the problem, the problem is we don;t take care of the humans who are born nor see to their education.

rather than change this paradigm however we will go trans and post human because its easier, and you can buy a cyberbrain online by writing a check, you don’t have to get your hands dirty.

one can only hope that when the artilects do take over our civilization they will be more humane than we have been.

madness is the order of our day, as it was the order of our ancestors day, it is only a more complex form of madness it is no less insane.

what is the single unifying principle of this entire post humanist movement? is it the desire to explore space? no, for that is possible without it. Is it utopia? no, for that too is possible without it. is it the total transformation of the human being into another form? no, for that is essentially the destruction of the human form and a type of non-human or even anti-human existence.

the single codifying principle is FEAR, fear of death.

What?

Could it be that these people are nothing more than Cowards? But that is precisely my claim and they are not just cowards they are naive, and they are not just naive they are bad students of history, and they are not just bad students of history they are arrogant douche bags more interested in some selfish preoccupation than in the future of the species.

In fact if we had our eyes to see it, already we have gone too far, already monsters run the world. Already murder and mass murder have become to us acceptable and permissible, even a thousand years ago this was true, for not only these people are cowards, but all of us are cowards.

Shall I tell you the truth then?

They are afraid to die and we are afraid to live, we are afraid to die for life and they are afraid to live knowing that they must die. The great piece of idiocy in all of this is, of course, is that in becoming non-human they will actually have died. In what they consider a migration or elevation out and beyond humanity to a higher form is in reality a truncation and crippling of the form.

Predictive Programming

for a long time this was dismissed and chided as conspiracy theory. and now you have people asking “what with this economic crisis (which imo is completely engineered, its not as if all the pigs died or we suddenly forgot how to make steel) maybe its a good idea for us to have some kind of north american currency! after all, we need a solution to this problem the people seem to be reacting to!”

and i know why the majority of the electorate is blind to it all, and so do you, dont you my friends? you know, only all too well perhaps, just how and why they remain ignorant, even willfully ignorant of the entire phenomenology of global corporatism which has supplanted all cultures and governments. they are complicit and those who are not complicit have been harassed from the day of their birth by junk information and a poisoned world, the MSG, aspartame, heavy metals and fluoride; the endless propaganda and the puppy mill educational system that wants obedient workers and not free spirits.

and you know also that it is up to you, to reject all of this negativity and unhealthy madness and to forge from the crucible of your own heart a future for the species. it is up to You. And where many might throw up their hands at the calamity and insurmountable tasks that thwart our satisfaction, I take solace in you.

I am credulous about the destiny of the human species and I believe more than i can ever prove about the fate of mankind.
