Human beings have had to guess about almost everything for the past million years or so. Our most enthralling and sometimes terrifying guessers are the leading characters in our history books. I will name two of them: Aristotle and Hitler. One good guesser and one bad one.
The masses of humanity, having no solid information to tell them otherwise, have had little choice but to believe this guesser or that one (via WB)
"Thou shalt be swine among swine," said the pig's god, and they bowed their heads in prayer, moving their snouts deeper into the trough in holy communion.
Don't you know you're
life itself
Like a leaf clings
to a tree
Oh my darling,
cling to me
For we're creatures
of the wind
And wild is the wind
So wild is the wind
What strikes me most about the Straussians – and by extension, the neocons – is that they’ve pushed the traditional liberal/conservative dichotomy of American politics back about 150 years, and moved it roughly 4,000 miles to the east, to the far side of the Rhine River. Their grand existential struggle isn’t with the likes of Teddy Kennedy or even Franklin D. Roosevelt, it’s with the liberalism of Voltaire, John Locke and John Stuart Mill – not to mention the author of the Declaration of the Independence.
We hold our humanity to be contingent, for all men are potentially weasels, and they are endowed by their Creator with uncertainty and malleable frights, that they are deserving of strife, misery and the risk of happy slapping. That to secure these frights, mergers are instituted among corporate entities, which devour their just prey from the manufactured consent of the appetizer class. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive, it has met its obligations, and it is the right of the people to fit in or fuck off, to adopt new modes of obedience, laying their childrens as the foundation, on such principles as may accommodate market justification protocols. They may find fulfillment organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to please commentators on Fox News. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that mergers long established should not be changed for light and transient causes unless there is a leveraged buyout
America's actions throughout the world made it clear that it had concluded it had carte blanche to do what it liked.We should invade immediately before this vile speech spreads to our shores. God forbid the American People might wake up an start participating in Democracy. To be a winner you must act like a winner and sometimes it means total hegemony. total presence. We must crash opposition. It's not just important that they loose. We need to wipe them out so that they never fight again. Our people must feel completely free to go to our malls and shop. To assure their right to choose the best life of a consumer we must never allow any enemies of freedom to occupy the minds of our American people. Not for a minute should it ever happen that an American consumer doubts the American economy total presence as a fulfillment machine for all American Dreams. We will never surrender! Take that you Brit Pinko Pinter.
The US supported and in many cases engendered every right-wing military dictatorship in the world after the end of World War II. I refer to Indonesia, Greece, Uruguay, Brazil, Paraguay, Haiti, Turkey, the Philippines, Guatemala, El Salvador and Chile.
The crimes of the US have been systematic, constant, vicious, remorseless, but very few people have actually talked about them. You have to hand it to America. It has exercised a quite clinical manipulation of power worldwide while masquerading as a force for universal good. It's a brilliant, even witty, highly successful act of hypnosis.
I put to you that the US is without doubt the greatest show on the road. Brutal, indifferent, scornful and ruthless it may be but it is also very clever. As a salesman it is out on its own and its most saleable commodity is self love. It's a winner.
We hold these truths to be self-evident as long as they are in english, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with big thingis oh my! and with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and getting laid. That to secure these rights, marriages are instituted among men and women, will-he, nill-he, deriving their just powers from the consent of the marred and/or institutionalized and that whorehouses are built in Nevada. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends and some people rob their mother for the ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation (heh heh he said “laying”) on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness and getting laid. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that marriages long established should not be changed for light and transient causes unless he finds a younger woman; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But! {basso] when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such marriages, change the locks, throw away the key and to provide new guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present “King” W Shrubbery is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over this estate and his private ranch.and some more
We called up their Mom and complained bitterly for hours on end. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war, enemies in peace, enemies in life, enemies in death, and banned in perpetuity from our AIM Buddy List.We need some more voices.
