I posted the original of this a few days ago, but because of the nature and quality of the paper I’ve been able to scrape away at the paper to refine it a bit and so, though not yet finished, this is where it is now.

Why

Not that I’ve a readership endowed with opinions true or false to worry about, but why do I make so many of those short cutting pieces like the musical satire series of stuff? And which of course could make me seem a very negatively focused person? Apart from the inner truth which they are hopefully imbued, and for myself the healthy release of thoughts and feelings about external reality, in terms of creation they’re quick and easy! They take no great effort, and they also might give me a laugh.

Inspired

Toxic Blandness’ recent song Corporate Whore Meltdown Gives Me the Chills, which was the b-side to The Corporate Whores Are On Me has led to an unexpected love child in the form an inspired new group - Corporate Whore Meltdown. Younger brothers and sisters of Toxic Blandness, and sharing the same agents and record label, they have just recorded their first song, Straight Out of Hollywood and which should be riding the airwaves very soon. They are also working on another song, We’re All Singing From the Same Hymn Sheet. The song is said to aspire towards being an inclusivity anthem, and will be formed around the central core or pillar of the lyrics below:

We don’t care what your beliefs are

As long as they’re the exact same as ours

Inclusivity 

Inclusivity 

Inclusivity 

beginning and end?

 Something from a few days ago. Not quite finished, but close to as much as can be done with it.

Rethink

Are you thinking of going into politics but have no intention of being part of or subservient to the deep state cabal? Then it may well be time for a rethink as, though in your naivety you may not be aware of this, almost certainly it will turn out that you are a threat to democracy.

 Something a bit rough and haphazard from last night. For any artists out there, it’s on Hahnemuehle watercolour paper which is class.

Dropped

Sad to say but hard-working rockstars The Populace have just been dropped by their major record label after the recording of their latest song, How the Hell Did We Believe All Their Bullshit?! 

“We don’t understand,” lamented the band. “We just woke up a bit to the old rock n roll spirit of rebellion, and realised we’d sunk totally into a spirit of conformity and submission. So we recorded that new song. We think it’s the best thing we’ve done. And then immediately the record label dropped us.”

Rolling Stone magazine have responded to the news by calling The Populace “traitors to the cause, whose names should be blotted out from the pages of the noble history of rock music.”

Element

“What invisible element does every work of art have in common?”

“An artist.”

Blackface and Drag Queens

“I presume you’re a big admirer of the history of the feminist movement?”

“Of course. Women had been oppressed and subjugated by men and the patriarchy forever. This was a great movement of liberation. How could I not admire and support it with all my being?!”

“And similarly the civil rights movement for black people?”

“It goes without saying. Of course! Again, this was a movement of progress out from oppression by the white patriarchy, which, like with its attitude towards women, will resist all such liberation.”

“And what do you think of blackface - are you glad it’s now a no-go area?”

“You must be joking! It was absolutely disgusting. The level of condescension of the white oppressors lampooning the black sub-species - as they obviously believed. Getting their cheap laughs, just being black was funny - I’m getting angry just thinking of it! It’s unimaginably racist and demeaning! Oppression through caricature . . .”

“I can see you feel very strongly about it all. And so what do you think of drag queens? The same angry feelings, I presume?”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean I presume you feel rage for the same kind of reasons - male oppression and gender appropriation under the guise of comedy, belittling misogyny, and so on.”

“No, no, no, no. You’re confusing things. It’s totally different. . . .  We should have things like drag story time for children . . .  Drag queen sex shows for kids as part of education.  . . . It’s beautiful. You’ve got it all wrong . . .  You’re confusing totally different things! . . . “

“Just take a few deep breaths. Here’s a sip of water. Calm down. And bring back blackface too so while we’re at it.”

“I supppose so. Maybe. I don’t know.”

“Blackface story time for kids, and heavily sexualised blackface shows put on in schools - we should have  all that kind of thing? Maybe we could have men competing as women in sports in blackface?”

“I just want to be consistent. I’m not sure.”

“I know. We all aspire towards consistency. Anyway, it’s all a lot to think about. Take another sip of water. You’ll be fine.”

More Braque

Two more late, or relatively late, works by Georges Braque.

Collaboration

It’s hard to conceive of such humility, but those two great musical outfits, Deep State Cabal and Fake News Shitstorm, have been collaborating in a musical studio somewhere in the hills of Los Angeles, and from this collaboration, like a butterfly emerging from a chrysalis, has emerged a new song: Treason is an Outdated Concept. Here calling themselves The Syndicate, a few lyrics from their as yet unheard song below:

We don’t need borders

We just need love 

We’ll lock you up

If you don’t believe 

In our kind of love.

Treason is an outdated concept

Oh yeah, yes it is

You’ve got it all backwards 

You need to turn your thinking around

And believe in our kind of love

Or we’ll lock you up

Oh yeah

A Leader For Our Times

 

He really is pretty much beyond parody - and the intellectual weirdness and stupidity shouldn’t mask that it would have to be pretty dark parody to encompass something like the fullness of what’s going on here. Just think how much truth, and especially moral or spiritual truth, is coming from a system or establishment of which this guy is a nominal head. And to add, what kind of people and system will intentionally target children as these people are without conscience doing now in a full on assault? 

Well in socialist/Marxist/communist/etc thinking and methodology, with all its seeming obsession with various causes, in the real overall picture all these causes simply amount to Trojan horses in the service of socialism, and the only morality that counts is that which serves the socialist cause, the establishing and cementing its system. The sacrifice of individuals, regardless of whether they are children, towards this end means nothing. Its media is by definition propaganda for the cause - that’s its only reason for existence (thus Biden will be insofar as possible be represented as perfectly wholesome and mentally sound). So the targeting of children serves its purpose as an intentional erosion of traditional values, and especially of the family structure; and thus in socialist terms it is highly moral, as there is no other morality. The only morality is what serves or hinders the cause. Things like the family, the nation and religion hinder the cause, therefore they are to be attacked and undermined. 

And in the deeper sense, since this ideology has its root in spiritual darkness, Christ is especially the enemy. And that’s why for the Left, when for example there is unequivocal reactions from within Islam against LGBTism, they don’t really know how to react, as Islam isn’t intuited as the real enemy at the furthest reaches of things, whereas Christianity in its true raw sense most certainly is. They have to somehow tolerate Islam’s intolerance of their Trojan horse holy causes, though if they met with anything close to the same reaction from within Christianity there would be utter outrage. And the reason for this ideological schizophrenics is I suppose Islam is felt to have its place within the banner of the Left’s sacred and undermining causes. They’re not trying to undermine Islam!

Raoul Dufy

Some of the innocently joyful, and I’m sure hopeful, works by French artist Raoul Dufy (1877-1953). “Heaven on earth! Why can’t life on earth be just like this all the time! But my paintings it can be!”

 Click on the images to enlarge to get a better sense of these paintings.

And I do mean quick! However they’re done, just a matter of seconds, and then see if there’s something of interest there or not, or is it just an empty mess. The less can be done though with such things, in terms of adding to them afterwards, the better.

Novak and the World

 

I think this man has been amazing in these deranged times - where the same people telling us to follow the science, bow down and inject their concoctions - which don’t stop you getting the thing they’re supposed to vaccinate you against - or else we’ll try to make life impossible for you, well these are the same people pushing hard insane agendas like men can give birth, let your child pick its sex, this is the key to their happiness, and so on. 

Anyway as Djokovic says, “A hundred times I would rather be myself than to go along with the system.”

And as for why he attracts so much hatred, in the Gospel of John Jesus says: “Everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.” Or earlier in this is written: “And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.”

And Nietzsche writes in Thus Spoke Zarathustra: “Before you they feel themselves small, and their baseness glimmers and glows against you in hidden vengeance. You are a bad conscience to your neighbours.”

Cowardice is ultimately evil, or in alliance with it since this cowardice will align with the darkness, not the light. And here, deep down, the kind of people Djokovic is talking of know they are cowards, and his authenticity and courage is the light that exposes their darkness - the sin of their cowardice and complicity.  And thus the system or  “the world”, as Christ says, will hate him. I’m not saying by the way everyone who took the jab, or got manipulated into it is a coward, but everyone who aligns themselves ultimately in their soul with “the system” or “the world”:most certainly is.

And below is another brilliant short piece from Dave Rubin on Novak:

Reform

 

“I heard that Durham Report came out recently showing how the whole Trump Russia collusion was basically fabricated by the same US authorities that then went after him, impeaching him and so on.”

“Yeah, that’s what it showed all right.”

“Wow. That’s serious serious stuff. It’s pretty much treason - trying to fabricate the overthrow of a US President with a load of bullshit. So what happened next. I suppose the people involved and behind it all could be jailed for a long time, right?”

“No, what happened next is the same people and authorities went back after Trump again.”

“Oh right. I suppose that makes sense. If you’ve got a criminal syndicate of psychopaths and degenerates at the wheel of such power, they’re probably not going to reform themselves all that willingly, but more likely will just keep going as they were. I see it now. I had a weird naive moment there where I thought things might go differently.”

“Ah it happens us all.”

Quieten

“How can I quieten my mind?”

“Stop filling it with noise would be a good place to start.”

 Not sure if I like it or not, but something I was doing a few nights ago.

Audacity

It’s hard to believe such audacity when confronted with it in the flesh, but Toxic Blandness are tomorrow releasing not one but two simultaneous singles for our collective pleasure and intellectual edification. As we already knew, The Corporate Whores Are On Me, (b-side Corporate Whore Meltdown Gives Me the Chills) hits the virtual and corporeal shelves on the morrow, but it seems, undeserving though we surely are, the creative assault doesn’t end there. And so also incoming is a somewhat more cerebral number, Create Me a Personality Out of Your Controlling Neurotic Imagination. This again boasts a b-side, Give Me a New Definition and I’ll Conform to It.

Barques by Braque

 

Barque being French for small boat, a selection of paintings on this subject by Georges Braque quite late in his life. Pretty surprising if, like me, you were in.y familiar with him as being the Cubist comrade-in-arms of Picasso back quite early in the 20th century. 

Coming

Musical industrial complex flagbearers Toxic Blandness have a new song coming out called The Corporate Whores Are On Me. The b-side is Corporate Whore Meltdown Gives Me the Chills.

Domestic

“If the mafia controlled a state, its institutions, media, etc., who do you think might get defined as “domestic terrorists”?

“Probably people felt and experienced as a threat to the mafia system. And I suppose in such a state, their own footsoldiers and brown shirts would tend to be left alone or, if spoken about, even exalted as some kind of righteous warriors of truth.”

Amaryllis

 

By Georges Braque, of Cubism fame, from 1958. 

Leaks

“If there’s water pouring in to a boat through some leak or leaks, the water isn’t the problem.”

“What do you mean the water’s not the problem?!”

“For a boat the water is a given. The problem is the leaks. Once there’s a leak, then there’s water pouring in. So you keep taking care of the boat, then that takes care of the leaks and then there’s no water pouring in. Once it’s not too catastrophic, you can even look on the sight of the water that’s coming in as doing you a favour. It’s letting you know there’s a leak and weakness in the boat that you have to shore up. Otherwise you’d probably be oblivious to it. It kind of teaches you humility, you could say, about your boat. And it’s a pretty serious business having your boat seaworthy, especially if it goes out into deep waters.”

“So the problem is internal, not external.”

“Well the external is real, but its negative manifestation, as in water pouring in, is in perfect sync with the flaws of the internal.”

 Something I’ve been doing tonight.

Storm

The main thing with a storm is not to complain about or be crushed by its existence, but to recognise its existence and somehow get through it. The more one recognises the recurring patterns of such phenomena,  as pertains to the inner world, the more we should be able to train ourselves to somehow retain a level of detachment from the storm of thoughts assailing us, whilst not having to pretend they don’t exist! 

And we also begin to see a logicality to their pattern - as we hopefully begin to move away from the passions and their influence, a kind of blasphemous assault occurs attacking faith in God and the essence of things. So in a sense, it is good that it occurs, it is a manifestation of the spiritual struggle, and which occurs as the “old man” and the darkness is being uprooted. And the pattern will keep occurring as long as we in our behaviours, keep resurrecting the old man and then hopefully sometime in the aftermath resume the struggle again rather than wallowing in the fall. It’s perhaps a bit like the cold turkey ordeal that a heroin addict undergoes in the attempt to escape from the heroin addiction. As long as they remain in the addiction the spiritual darkness is not threatened, but when they try to battle and get free all hell breaks loose. Does it really make sense that that level of trauma could be caused simply on the physiological and psychological planes of existence for the addict?

On that front, prompts me to post the withdrawal scene from Trainspotting, which I haven’t seen in years with the great track rumbling in the background, Dark Train by Underworld. A bit heavy going from what I remember, so only watch if feeling up to it!

Something else from last night, and though to be honest I don’t think I really like it, here it is.

Things Change Their Name
