"Anyone
who has the power to make you believe absurdities also has
the power to make you commit atrocities." — Voltaire
(1694-1778)
Everyone who knows me knows I won't be preaching any
kind of old time religion anytime soon. And yet, the problem
that we seem to have lost our souls seems to be the main
problem in the world right now.
I
have lately been fond of saying religion doesn't help anyone
see God, doesn't help anyone connect with the divine or sacred
aspects of things, which is just another way of saying that
religion ultimately blocks us from appreciating the finer
things in life, things that usually can make us happy. The
most important is an objective respect for all
life.
Religion actually prevents all that. It's a
terraforming of the mind that permits only acceptable rituals,
etched-in-stone prescriptions for all life's situations. As a
consequence, we condemn things that make other people happy.
Two random examples that come to mind are love between
homosexuals and appreciating people whose skin color is
different from our own. I don't want to veer off into either
of those subjects, but I just want to ask what right does any
of us have to make judgments on things that are really none of
our business.
Aren't kindness and compassion the ultimate currency?
When the time comes to die you will think they are — count on
it.
Religion creates an archetypal behavioral template for
the distribution of misinformation. If people accept religion,
they're more likely to embrace authoritarianism, which is why
the neocons embrace the evangelicals. Religions belong to the
Dark Ages. Ultimately, religious people cannot perceive
reality, because they're fogged in by a false template of
default auto-suggestions. Also, religion provides them with a
license to be irresponsible and duplicitous, because they
think they will be “forgiven.”
As one philosopher whose name I’ve now forgotten once
suggested, religion doesn’t teach you how to be good, it only
teaches you how to pretend to be good.
Several items that have crossed my cyberdesk in the
last day all stick in my mind as some kind of vortex by which
to understand what is happening to us all at this
time.
They involve the brainwashing aspects of religions and,
judging by the behavior of American soldiers in Iraq, also the
loss of our souls. But mostly they show why you can’t rely on
religion to find your soul.
The first, from Russia, was forwarded by a respected
pagan philosopher and titled "The secret of Jewish
circumcision and the meaning of the Jewish skull cap." For
purposes of the point I am trying to make, I will cull some of
its thoughts:
It should be pointed out here that the Jews are not the
only bio-robots among us. Majority of people do not
demonstrate individual thinking or behavior and can be easily
programmed. Their heads can easily be filled with stereotypes,
which those in power select for the crowd programming and
control. And most people are not even aware that they are
being programmed and turned into the bio-robots.
Control of information can be effected by limiting
available information, by selectively withholding information,
falsifying, feeding selective information that presents
distorted view of the world and so on.
If a person is open to such manipulations of the
information field around him, he would ... think that his
decisions and actions are made independently. And yet he is a
bio-robot ... being programmed by someone else.
Why the Jewish baby boys are circumcised on the eighth
day?
The secret to this lies in the occult knowledge.
Levites possess that knowledge. And incidentally, they do not
perform circumcision on their own babies, they do that only to
their "livestock" — the Jews.
During the first eight days only three lower Chakras
are developed. All the higher Chakras remain undeveloped in
the body of a circumcised Jew. In other words — a circumcised
Jew is only half a person — with mutilated soul and brain.
Jewish circumcision ritual produces real bio-robots
that cannot tell the difference between good and evil, and who
cannot be reprogrammed.
We have all seen that religious Jews wear a skull cap.
The meaning of it is very profound — that skull cap covers the
highest, seventh human chakra — Sahasrara, which is located at
the top of the head. The Jews close it, thus cutting
themselves off the Cosmos. Note that the Catholic Pope and the
highest catholic priests also carry skull caps.
If you
try to talk with a circumcised Jew about philosophy, you would
encounter such fanaticism, that it would be senseless to
continue the conversation. That's what it means to be dealing
with a bio-robot!
Chakra of the third eye is not developed among
contemporary Europeans, in this respect the Jews are no
different from the others. But in ancient times this Chakra
was well developed among a much greater percentage of people.
One of the most important human chakras is Anahata
(heart). Practically all normal people feel it. Probably every
language has an expression, “I can feel it with my heart.” And
it is true that people can feel many things with their heart.
It can feel trouble, suffer, feel pains of conscience, shame,
to feel fear, to love, to hate, to feel compassion, pity, to
be able to commiserate, to feel good and evil . A person
without a developed heart Chakra is rude, compassionless,
"heartless.” All circumcised Jews are like
that.
If you try to tell the circumcised Jew about these
feelings, he would not understand you. He would think that you
are either a fool or an actor. It is probably similar to
trying to describe colors to a color-blind person.
It
should be noted that Jesus from Nazareth, who called himself
Christ, was also a Jew, who was circumcised on eighth day.
(Luke 2:21)
Yes, I know, that’s a load to contemplate. Do your
best. Your future depends on it. And there’s
more.
My friend Professor Minja, the distinguished Serbian
thinker, furnished me a short essay which I spent all day
reading and rereading, and even after I had pored over it, I
could not underestimate its impact or its importance. It was
the foreword to a new book, for which I do not have the
publishing information, but is titled “A New World is
Possible,” by Dunja and Ljubodrag
Simonovic.
The most dramatic truth is: capitalism can survive
death of the man as a human and biological being. For
capitalism a "traditional man" is merely a temporary means of
its own reproduction. “Consumer-man” represents a transitional
phase in the capitalism-caused process of mutation of man
towards the "highest" form of capitalistic man: a robot-man.
"Terminators" and other robotized freaks which are products of
the Hollywood entertainment industry which creates a "vision
of future" degenerated in a capitalist manner, incarnate
creative powers, alienated from the man, which become vehicles
for destruction of man and life. A new "super race" of
robotized humanoids is being created, which should clash with
"traditional mankind", meaning with people capable of loving,
thinking, daydreaming, fighting for freedom and survival – and
impose their rule over the Earth. Instead of the new world the
"new man" is being created – who has been reduced to the level
of humanity which cannot jeopardize the ruling
order.
Exactly so. This is precisely what’s happening in our
world today.
The Simonovics explain: “The final stage of a combat
between mankind and capitalism is in progress.” Our “technical
civilization” is creating a “dehumanized and denaturalized
man,” a description that reminded me of the warning issued by
the great and largely inscrutable French Situationist
philosopher Guy Debord (“The Society of the Spectacle’) more
than 40 years ago, when he ranted about “society’s real
unreality” sliding humanity into a “generalized
autism.”
The Simonovics further explain: “Capitalism has
eradicated the man from his (natural) environment and has cut
off the roots trough which he had drawn life-creating force.
Cities are ‘gardens’ of capitalism where degenerated creatures
‘grow’. Dog excrement, gasoline and sewerage stench, glaring
advertisements and police car rotating lights that howl
through the night – this is the environment of the ‘free
world’ man. By destroying the natural environment capitalism
creates increasingly extreme climatic conditions in which the
man is struggling harder and harder to survive – and creates
artificial living conditions accessible solely to the richest
layer of population, which cause definitive degeneration of
man as a natural being. ‘Humanization of life’ is being
limited to creation of micro-climatic conditions, of special
capitalistic incubators – completely commercialized artificial
living conditions to which degenerated people are
appropriate.”
If that doesn’t describe our post 9/11 condition I
don’t know what does. We live in a society that deliberately
misses the point of just about everything. We argue about
sports and brands of religion while our government kills
hundreds of innocent people every day, and when people like me
try to point that out to you, many of you get very upset and
run and hide. How difficult is it for you to admit we have
been robotized?
A
few more mindbusters from the Siminovics (for whom I will get
the publishing information, because this is one book I plan to
read):
Capitalism systematically destroys the man's ability
and need to raise essential questions about his own (social)
existence, as well as his potentials to provide answers to
them. Almost the entire media space is controlled by those who
destroy life and marginalize the essential while attributing
crucial dimension to the marginal. "Sensational affairs",
"historical matches", media "star" shows, "spectacular"
Hollywood films and TV soap operas – become the vehicle for
averting of people's attention from the issue which determines
survival of mankind or its idiotization. Blocking of
conscience and giving vent to the man's repressed being, his
growing discontent, fear, anxiety – and insemination of man by
the ruling spirit of capitalism wherefrom the "positive man"
should be born – this is the essence of the "spectacle".
Therefore the growing importance of
sport.
The story of the "American dream" is over.
Assassinations of Martin Luther King, of John Lennon and other
numerous people who fought for the human world – have clearly
demonstrated that the notion of "a better society" represented
the greatest threat to the ruling capitalist groups for it
provided a possibility for development of a political platform
that could direct the growing discontent of the oppressed
toward creation of a new (righteous) world. The major goal of
the capitalist propaganda machinery is to kill the people's
hope that the future is possible and that fighting for it does
make sense.
Ideologists of capitalism represent things as if
nothing serious was going on – as if the world were not
brought to the very edge of total ruin.
It is not any more the fear of the man that has to face
his own unavoidable natural death, but the anxiety of the man
who has to confront the increasingly realistic possibility of
destruction of life on Earth, and consequently of mankind
itself.
Capitalism has not only deprived the man of his
spiritual homeland (Heimatlosichkeit) but also of his vital
environment through annihilation of nature and of man as
biological being; it does not only deprive the man of his
human essence, but questions his survival.
So .... with those two heavy stories percolating in my
brain, the third element of today’s picture of the world came
crashing down on me in yet a third e-mail. It was Paul
Rockwell’s story about what Army reservist Aiden Delgado saw
during his stint at the notorious Abu Ghraib prison
<http://www.onlinejournal.com/
Special_Reports/040105Rockwell/040105rockwell.html> and
provides as clear as picture of what America has become — and
what all Americans are responsible for — as anything I have
read.
What Rockwell quoted the soldier as saying about “the
breakdown of moral order within the U.S. military, a pattern
of violence and terror that exceeds the bounds of what is
legally and morally permissible in time of war,” is actually
something quite worse — it is the breakdown of civilization
enthusiastically triggered by the leaders of the American
armed forces. Rockwell quoting Delgado:
The worst incident that I was privy to was in late
November. The prisoners were protesting nightly because of
their living conditions. They protested the cold, the lack of
clothing, the rotting food that was causing dysentery. And
they wanted cigarettes. They tore up pieces of clothing, made
banners and signs. One demonstration became intense and got
unruly. The prisoners picked up stones, pieces of wood, and
threw them at the guards. One of my buddies got hit in the
face. He got a bloody nose. But he wasn't hurt. The guards
asked permission to use lethal force. They got it. They opened
fire on the prisoners with the machine guns. They shot twelve
and killed three. I know because I talked to the guy who did
the killing. He showed me these grisly photographs, and he
bragged about the results. "Oh," he said, "I shot this guy in
the face. See, his head is split open." He talked like the
Terminator. "I shot this guy in the groin, he took three days
to bleed to death." I was shocked. This was the nicest guy you
would ever want to meet. He was a family man, a really
courteous guy, a devout Christian. I was stunned and said to
him: "You shot an unarmed man behind barbed wire for throwing
a stone." He said, "Well, I knelt down. I said a prayer, stood
up and gunned them all down." There was a complete disconnect
between what he had done and his own
morality.
Originally writing in Motion Magazine, Rockwell asked
Delgado: “The theologian Reinhold Niebuhr tell us that, with
the sanction of the state, driven by nationalism, moral,
decent individuals become killers and torturers in groups. You
attribute the break of restraint to racism. When did the
process of dehumanization of Arabs
begin?”
Delgado recounted the words of his own
commander.
"Now don't go tell the media that you're going over
there to kill some ragheads and burn some turbans." Everybody
laughed, and he laughed with them. I remember standing there
in formation, having grown up in Egypt. And I was thinking:
"Oh, my God, this is going to be a disaster. Our commander has
this anti-Arab attitude even before we go over." The commander
would give lectures about Islam. He said that Muslims advocate
a holy war against us, that Islam promotes perpetual war. I've
been surrounded by Muslims for a decade, exposed to their
culture. He is wrong.
So now we see the complete prostitution of human
society manifesting its evil face as basic American policy.
And as well, as the unquestioning attitude of most
Americans.
You see now unadorned the complete and ugly truth. You
may not turn to your religion for help because your religion
has blocked your own compassion, and perhaps by circumcision
(or perhaps one of many other things) has blocked your ability
to see with your heart and discern what is truly right from
what is truly wrong.
Your allegiance to trivial capitalist folly has
atrophied your ability to perceive what are the truly
important things as you pile up those electronic trinkets to
keep yourself from admitting the love you do not
have.
You have been turned into a mind-controlled robot by
the two things you have relied upon most for guidance — your
God and your country.
So what will you do on that one day soon when the gun
barrel is pointed at you? Your prayers and patriotism will be
meaningless, because they have been the very causes of your
misery.
Will you wake up then, when it is too late? Or will you
wake up now, when it is not?
John Kaminski’s Internet
essays can be seen on hundreds of websites around the world.
They have been collected into two anthologies, the latest of
which is titled “The Perfect Enemy,” about how the
Zionist-controlled U.S. government created the terrorist group
known as al-Qaeda. His booklet “The Day America Died: Why You
Shouldn’t Believe the Official Story of What Happened on
September 11, 2001” was written especially for those who cling
to the government’s false explanation of the events of that
tragic day. For more information go to
