Treehouse

There was a treehouse, which seemed wonderfully well made and very secure, people sitting up in it, but then someone came along and chopped the tree down and so down it came.

Honorary

Joe Biden is to be awarded an Lifetime Achievement Honorary Oscar at the Academy Awards, primarily for his ability to speak English whilst reading an autocue at the same time. “It’s a degree of intellectual versatility one might not expect from such a man,” explained a Hollywood insider.

Avoidance

“You’ll have to explain to me again. Why do you avoid the fake news like the plague?”

“Because it’s fake.”

“Oh right. But can you elaborate a little.”

“Because as a whole, the entire point of it is to push and reflect the agendas of a cabal of pathetic, depraved, sociopathic and psychopathic lying scumbags.”

“Any other reasons?”

“Those are the main ones.”

Electric Fence

“There should be an electric fence between good and evil - in the spirit I mean. So we get a shock when we start going wrong, instead of just slipping effortlessly into it.”

Blair Music Update

Tony Blair has released a new single, Who Needs Freedom When You Can Wear a Mask.

Where’s the Liberalism in Liberalism (or who took it out)

 

I think it means they’re very liberal about how brutal they are willing to be to usher in and maintain the totalitarian state. I think it could probably be seen as the personality disorder of toxic narcissism as a political ideology - a completely false glossy surface, entirely for show, and underneath total toxicity. A relationship with another person is for the narcissist a means of taking their power from them and controlling them in order to bolster the messed up, dark shell of oneself. And you can’t appeal to their better nature, because for people like Trudeau, however they’ve ended up like this, there is in effect no better nature. They exist more like a computer program, running in the manner described.

And the analyst in the video is of course right - within collectivist ideologies the individual is very easily sacrificed for the “good” of the state. Freedom has to come from the ground up, i.e. individual liberties as the foundation, which is what makes the US Constitution such a great document and an enemy to be tore down by the toxic liberal/left collectivists.

edit: I’ve actually just watched this video from this guy’s channel, Sanity4Sweden, and he says something very similar about the truth beneath the glossy surface, but maybe more vividly and worth a look: https://rumble.com/vv8iy7-scared-austrian-gov-canadian-gov-beast-exposed-to-the-world.html?mref=6zof&mc=dgip3&utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Sanity4Sweden&ep=2

Father Spyridion

 I like this man’s videos, an English Orthodox priest. There’s a nice unexpected addition to the video, 13 minutes in, after it appears to be over.

Immaculate Timing

The latest video of someone fainting whilst in the act of wishing for the mandating of a certain type of medical injection. If you want to be as healthy as this person, you should take her advice very seriously. She blames her collapse on a lack of breakfast. Breakfast is an important meal all right. Without it you could be engaged in some strenuous activity, like sitting down and talking, and suddenly your body collapses beneath you, unable to sustain itself for lack of fuel.

And below is someone else very recently joking about her willing participation in these same wonderful medical procedures, just before she also collapses and suffers a fracture to her skull. I think it might be wise to start getting a little reticent about aggressively pushing or endorsing these particular products of the pharmaceutical industry whilst in front of an audience.

Conscience

Imagine what it would be to have no conscience - you fall into muck and don’t recognise it’s muck. You tell yourself the lack of a conscience is freedom, freedom to enjoy and sink into the muck! That is precisely the philosophy of the muck: “This isn’t muck! What bigotry to call it muck!!” “But it is muck.” “Get out!!! Throw him out of here!!” “Don’t worry, I’m going.” “You’ll be back!!”

At the Restaurant

By Ivan Kramskoy (1837-1887).

 

Battleground

“Sensuality is a storm, more than a storm! … here God gave us only riddles. Here the shores converge, here all contradictions live together. Too many riddles oppress man on earth. Solve them if you can without getting your feet wet. . . . The terrible thing is that beauty is not only fearful but also mysterious. Here the devil is struggling with God, and the battleground is the human heart.”

Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov, spoken by Dmitri Karamazov.

Wise words from Mr Science himself, Anthony Fauci.

Machiavelli, Covid, Absolutism

This is pretty much lifted from a previous piece I did on Machiavelli, though especially fitting for these times.

For Machiavelli, as a virtual matter of course, at the other end of government is someone or body of people acting to cement and increase their power over the citizens. He writes that "The people are everywhere anxious not to be dominated or oppressed by the nobles, and the nobles are out to dominate and oppress the people." This tension is for Machiavelli an unquestionable, fundamental truth. The ruling elite will always want to oppress the people, to further their control, and by simple logic the ultimate desired destination is absolutism, the totalitarian state. This leap to absolute power is dangerous for the rulers however, as the people are great in number and have no wish to be the subjects of outright tyranny. To excessively act on this urge for such total mastery is for the rulers to gamble with what they already possess. 

Principalities usually come to grief when the transition is being made from limited power to absolutism. Princes take this step either directly or through magistrates.
We must distinguish between....those who to achieve their purposes can force the issue and those who must use persuasion. In the second case they always come to grief, having achieved nothing; when however they can force the issue, then they are seldom endangered.
The populace is always fickle; it is easy to persuade them of something but difficult to confirm them in that persuasion. Therefore one must usually arrange matters so that when they no longer believe they can be made to believe by force.

So the populace must be made to believe what the rulers want them to believe, which is the necessity of an increase in centralised state power. But greater forces than persuasion must be used. Persuasion simply appeals to the limpid reason. To be made believe by force the far more powerful, primal aspects of human nature must be attacked and harnessed - fear and hatred; fear for personal safety, and hatred of those who are alleged to threaten this safety. Thus the rulers get to award themselves greater powers to supposedly protect the public’s safety, whilst as a bonus they also get to persecute the very ones who resist them as equating to the main alleged threats to this same safety, e.g. “unvaxxed.”

Princes who have achieved great things have been those who have given their word lightly, who have known how to trick men with their cunning, and who, in the end, have overcome those abiding by honest principles.
One must know how to colour one's actions and to be a great liar and deceiver. Men are so simple, and so much creatures of circumstance, that the deceiver will always find someone ready to deceive.

That seems to pretty much cover what’s been happening the last couple of years or so! The main reason for posting it was the point that for the rulers or nobles “to excessively act on this urge for such total mastery is to gamble with what they already possess.” That kickback against the push into absolutism seems to be coming into potential focus of late, and will hopefully increase.

A Beautiful Slaughtering

 

His efforts at come-backs are great: “Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, moon-landing, Trump . . .” I suppose you could argue it’s unfair for a woman to publicly castrate a male journalist in this manner - that it’s not a good look for the male and is perhaps even professionally damaging - but then again, unlikely as it may be, it could turn out to be character building for him as a new and better man now has the chance to emerge from the smouldering ashes.

DNA

Just a quick general point as to what has added to the difficulty of what had been happening the last couple of years. Tyranny, oppression, a culture of manipulation and lies, etc are never fun any time but in previous eras people - not that it’s a good thing - were attuned to hardship to intense degrees, and thus for example the feasibility of going to fight, and very likely die, in arenas like World War 1. We though are not attuned to expect these kinds of things. Our mass culture is, in terms of leisure, you could say devoted to not much more than harmless and mindless gratification. So the sudden shift from this apparent benevolent social atmosphere to the blatant reemergence of state totalitarianism has been brutal. It wasn’t in our DNA in the more recent sense anyway to deal with this kind of stuff. We were dumped into it from virtually nowhere. So people have been having to learn very, very fast. And bravo of course to people like the truckers! 

And to finally point out the so-called liberals or progressives who in their first incarnations supposedly championed the rights of the working-classes over their oppressors in the form of the bourgeoisie and wealthy. And what of course do those progressives turn out now to really represent - the crushing of anyone who stands up to state tyranny, and especially the working class truckers. What a surprise. 

Justin, WAMANA

In these strange, bewildering, unprecedented, exciting, claustrophobic and unusual times, Justin Trudeau has received some much needed good news after being voted “Man of the Year” by the Women Against Men Association of North America. WAMANA said that even though it is very early in the year, they can’t realistically see anyone being more deserving of the award than the lightweight Canadian puppet. “Justin Trudeau is an ideal for the kind of man women who hate men would want men to be. And so men who want to please women who hate men would do well to emulate Trudeau in all his ways.”

Go 55 or so seconds into this video and you will see exactly why Trudeau is so deserving of this award and of so much else that may come his way. In just a few seconds he also here manages to sum up why the mainstream media is held in such high esteem by all freedom loving citizens of the modern world.

Actually staggering that he could feel so secure in his position that he could shamelessly reveal and wallow in something so sleazily corrupt. That, never mind hiding this incestuous, rotten state of affairs, to actually, and without fear of consequence, publicly glory in it! 

Western Australia Looking Good

 The future looks very bright for the state of Western Australia, under the infallible and maybe even immortal guidance of this charming guy, Mark McGowan.

And below is an earlier piece on another presumably much-loved Aussie icon, now I think out of the political picture somewhat due to unfortunate reasons related to corruption.

Deep

Always attuned to the zeitgeist of human reality, Deep State Cabal are rush-releasing a new song, Back Off You Plebs.

Misinformation

How come such people were allowed platforms to spread so much Covid misinformation? Puzzling. What is the punishment for all the fake info they and various other entities poured out so relentlessly? Obviously such people and organisations have been full of remorse and apologies for feeding so much garbage masquerading as science, but still, are their endless humble apologies enough? 

I admit I haven’t been searching around for all the apologies, but that doesn’t mean I’m doubting their  existence. If such truth-obsessed people - to add, professionally-truth obsessed - discover they were feeding the public very important misinformation, you can be sure they will be very upset about this. Hence all the apologies.

Sentry

What should be a wake-up call for a sentry to increase his alertness in the night? The temptation or thought in his head that there’s no one coming and so he can relax. He should learn to recognise that thought for what it is.

Ballad

Fake News Shitstorm have recorded a beautiful new power ballad titled If You Disbelieve Me You’re a Nazi - which is sure to get saturation airplay from all legitimate entertainment outlets. Rolling Stone magazine have described the song as “already iconic”, and say they are looking forward to hearing it. Some lyrics from this game-changing song below:

I want to think the best of you

But if you’ve been tuning in to alternative media sources

You must realise that you’re a Nazi

Don’t be a Nazi

No, don’t be a Nazi

Only Nazis love Nazis

[Chorus]

Mainstream truth is all the truth you’ll ever need 

Mainstream truth is all the truth we should ever breathe

That’s what stops us from turning into Nazis

Only far-right sympathisers

Question us or question Pfizer

Neil Young, he knows this truth

He is the voice of the youth

He’s only eighty years old

He repeats what he’s told

Tom Cruise is another one

He was the star of Top Gun

Powerful and poetic stuff there.

The World

[This went way beyond the short few lines I’d hoped initially to write, but anyway these are some thoughts. It might also come fairly randomly to a close, but I had to stop myself somewhere! ]

This is a continuation of the last post which involved the divide between the spirit and the carnal, or the individual self. What is meant in Christianity by “the world” that it denotes something at odds with the spiritual, where Jesus says, “If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own, but because I take you out of the world, the world hates you” or James writes that “friendship with the world is enmity with God.” Why is the world denoted so negatively? We all live in the world, we can’t divorce ourselves from it, so what is specifically meant by it here that it is at war with spirit and God? 

The world is a world of values and structure which is built on the foundation of the individual self as the highest value. So it is the world and values of of the carnal or selfhood, but extended into society as a whole. Think of the Roman Empire, and the dual dominant values of self: power and pleasure. And the more powerful someone within it, the more pleasure also available. To add though, as with Rome, the progression of pleasure into decadence erodes the discipline upon which the power depended in the first place, and so the world is by its very nature a kingdom divided against itself. 

So the world is the self as the ultimate value, and with inevitably all kinds of hierarchical power structures resulting that will reward those especially dedicated to this sense of being. Filled in more and more with people of its own vibration, the world becomes more and more worldly. Left to itself “the world” is rotten, and it is only because spirit and a sense of goodness are integral to us that the true nature of the world of selfhood is masked. It is the presence of the spirit in people, which is not of “the world”, that keeps things decent. Where that co-existence becomes next to impossible, like in the Nazi party ruling Germany, then the evil nature of the world alienated from spirit becomes blatant. There is nothing anymore to mask itself, and we see this world and self removed from spirit become unveiled as actively evil. If we are self-castrated from spirit, things begin to get very ugly. They don’t somehow stay neutral.

 

A very clear reflection of this divide and even war between spirit and flesh or world is the ideology of materialism, which is precisely a philosophy of selfhood, or carnality, i.e. that the flesh is all there is to our nature, and the spirit an illusion. This extends into the non-existence of both virtue and vice, and all intrinsic value to life. Thus nihilism. This ideology of the flesh based self then extends into for example related threads of communism and consumerism, where the ideal is to be attained on earth in the material plane. 

With communism there is the veneer of morality or brotherhood that initially propels the movement - gains it believers and gives it its dynamic force - which is very telling as it is this very idealism that is coming from the ties to spirit and is actually alien to materialism. Materialism is ultimately divorced from all idealism as being a false intrusion to the purely physical. However, because the sense of truth and goodness is actually integral to us, no movement can have any success unless it somehow taps into some idealism supposedly related to goodness, even if it is actually opposed to itself. Otherwise no one but sociopaths and psychopaths will support it! Thus the necessity for equating the materialist ideology with brotherhood or social justice in whatever sense.

Antichrist means a substitute for Christ, and particularly in the ardent Christianity of Russia, Communism had to particularly equate itself on this plane of the spiritual ideal, even whilst aggressively attacking Christianity. It had to come in as a substitute. Communism is rabidly, ideologically driven, and here is both initial strength and its later failure. As said, though aggressively materialist in its philosophy, stemming at a deeper level as an emanation of the self as the highest value, to attain any possible force in terms of popular support, it is tied to an ideal of utopian brotherhood and which gives it its initial successful taking over the state apparatus of a country, as in Russia in 1917. Not long later though, after this initial adrenaline filled honeymoon period, it begins to become very clear that there is no utopian new self and state of mutual love appearing, and that one’s brothers and sisters are not becoming so beautiful after all. We just played a bit of musical chairs at the level of power, and amidst all this aggressive state activity, gulags, etc we maybe as individuals even got uglier rather than more perfect. and so now the idealist aspect of the movement begins to rapidly lose its power. Now that it clearly fails to produce the promised fruits, its unity on the willing level of felt brotherhood collapses, and soon it is by hostile force that much of the state’s structure depends. The ideology of totalitarianism - the bullying, controlling aspect of self - comes nakedly to the fore, and apart from the people doing the bullying, this isn’t much fun for most people.

So, though emanating from materialism, communism sells itself as equating to spirit, the attainment of perfect brotherhood, a soon to be realised heaven on earth, and which it fails utterly to deliver because, despite the veneer, it is hostile to spirit. Also spirit isn’t material in nature, so it can’t arise obediently because of some material conditions - which is the promise of all social utopianism. Crucially though, because this ideology is so self-divided, it also simultaneously fails utterly to deliver on the carnal, sensual side of things which is the very essence of the carnal self’s desires! Communism becomes miserable on both fronts of spirit and flesh.

By contrast, consumerism is not bound by ideological ties to idealism. Instead this culture is entirely dedicated to satisfying the desires of the individual sensual self in its goods and entertainments. It goes all in on the flesh! And that’s why it is so successful as an emanation of “the world” - which is simply an extension of the individual self as the highest value. Consumerism is dedicated to gratifying the self’s drives, and in the sense of spiritual war, specifically keeping the self happy on this spirit-denying plane. Because these drives can be so addictive and powerful, for all the lack of higher idealism, this is no small thing to be founded on. 

So here is a materialist culture dedicated to sensual temptation and gratification. To add whereas communism had to be very elaborately formulated as an ideology, no academic type needs to formulate a theory for people to then create goods that will gratify the carnal self! This is very obvious stuff. The communists were right to accuse consumerists of being decadent, but this decadence is much more truthfully consistent with the material self the communists should be in allegiance to - if they were actually truly materialists and abandoned pretensions to idealism. It’s not very nice though to come face to face with such truths! Again though like communism, this time more subliminally, consumerism sells itself as heaven on earth, and this is most obvious with tv ads for products which if you pay closer attention, are full of celestial light around the wonderful product. God is to be found here on earth with these products, with your football team scoring goals, a Hollywood actress taking her clothes off, or maybe James Bond killing some villains in a sensually satisfying manner. The ideal doesn’t go very far, but it doesn’t need to when one is being made crude by dwelling on or amidst this plane.

There are problems for a world of consumerism, which is the attempt to dwell wholly on the material plane of self gratification. And a huge one is that the yearning for the ideal is integral to us, and simply at odds with a world dedicated to sensual self pleasure. The more this world of spirit is denied, the more shallow the world built on self becomes in this absence of spirit. Also things again don’t simply stay morally neutral. Just like with a drug addict, the pleasures needed to satisfy this self, which is being cut off from goodness and spirit, need to become more stronger to produce the desired  results - and so for example the world of porn, which it is no coincidence how utterly integral it is to this self pleasuring world, will become darker and darker. This all hints at the spiritual nature behind and integral to these ideologies.

One interesting point of contrast between consumerism and communism is the approach to art. Because communism is so tied into an ideology of equality and brotherhood completely on the material plane, the only value for art is that it serves as propaganda towards this ideal, and more importantly the state which serves it. And so it is extremely intolerant of any intellectual or artistic outpouring not serving as propaganda. Thus for example  Boris Pasternak being treated as an enemy of the state for writing and getting published abroad Doctor Zhivago. The artist is not allowed create independently of the totalitarian state’s wishes.

Consumerism has no such ideological qualms and so is by contrast extremely tolerant. So within this world you could have a painting that reflects spiritual values totally alien to consumerist ideals of the ego-driven, carnal self, but all that matters is how much money the painting is worth! And if it is worth a lot of money, even if it’s say a spiritual icon, then in this world it’s worth a lot! Worth is measured in terms of material value, and isn’t burdened by a pseudo-spiritual ideological puritanism, as is the case with communism. 

On this point broad point, in western materialist culture, obviously of late things have gotten a lot more authoritarian and a lot less tolerant about what should or shouldn’t be said - cancel culture -  and this is the result of the pouring in of academically fostered, spirit-substituting, toxic ideology back into the mix.
