what seems to be

I’m currently reading up on wars.  I read about wwI yesterday and today I’m on the Napoleonic Wars, which seem to be the actual first ww.  Wikipedia says that it was from 1803-1815 and it seemed to have involved just about every European nation, except the always neutral Switzerland (why is that, is cause they are the bankers?), and a brief time we intervened against the UK.  Of course instead of saying the US got into the Napoleonic War, we just started a different war the war of 1812.  But it seemed all due to the Napoleonic Wars.  UK stopped us from trading with France during the war which the US thought we should have freely been able to, so we declared war on the UK for fucking with us.  Wikipedia also claims the war of 1812 was fought for other reasons; like the UK duping the US sailors into fighting for the UK against France and also the UK giving Native Americans military support against US expansion.

Now, if the Napoleonic Wars was the Masons attempt at a United Europe then it seems the UK were the good guys against that and also realized the US was also a scheme for the Masons to expand on that continent and that is why they supplied the Native Americans with Military power.  It was all the same war, I guess in a sense it’s always been the same war.  We can give it as many different names as we want but all in all for the past “I don’t know how many” years, the2 sides have always been the same, just different chess pieces.  There you go:
The chess board and pieces keep changing but the player’s behind the pieces stay the same.

that’s how I’m ending this blog.



From Illuminatus! Appendix Teth

May 23, 2008 | Filed Under quotes | 1 Comment 

Appendix Teth
Hagbard’s Booklet

    Every ideology is a mental murder, a reduction of dynamic living processes to static classifications, and every classification is a Damnation, just as every inclusion is an exclusion. In a busy, buzzing universe where no two snowflakes are identical, and no two trees are identical, and no two people are identical –and, indeed, the smallest subatomic particle, we are assured, is not even identical with itself from one microsecond to the next– every card-index system is a self-delusion. “Or, to put it more charitably,”as Nietzsche says, “we are all better artist than we realize.”

It is easy to see that the label “Jew” was a Damnation in Nazi Germany, but actually the label “Jew” is a Damnation anywhere, even where anti-Semitism does not exist. “He is a Jew,” He is a doctor,” and he is a poet” mea, to the card-indexing center of the cortex, that my experience with him will be like my experience with other Jews, other doctors, and other poets. Thus, individuality is ignored when identity is asserted.

At a party or any place where strangers meet, watch this mechanism in action. Behind the friendly overtures there is wariness each person fishes for the label that will identify and Damn the other. Finally, it is revealed: “Oh, he’s an advertising copywriter,” “Oh, he’s an engine-lathe operator.” Both parties relax, for now they know how to behave, what roles to play in the game. Ninety-nine percent of each has been Damned; the other is reacting to the 1 percent that has been labeled by the card-index machine.

I thought this bit would be nice to add. This is a few pages later and kinda fits in with what Allison was talking about yesterday about the media.

    A monopoly on the means of communication may define a ruling elite more precisely than the celebrated Marxian formula of “monopoly on the means of production.” Since man extends his nervous system through channels of communication like the written word, the telephone, radio, etc,. he who controls these media controls part of the nervous system of every member of society. The contents of these media become part of the contents of every individual’s brain.

Thus, in pre-literate societies taboos on the spoken word are more numerous and more Draconic than at any more complex level of social organization. with the invention of written speech –hieroglyphic, ideographic, or alphabetical –the taboos are shifted to this medium; there is less concern with what people say and more concern with what they write. (Some of the first societies to achieve literacy, such as Egypt and the Mayan culture of ancient Mexico, evidently kept a knowledge of their hieroglyphs a religious secret which only the higher order of the priestly and royal families were allowed to share.) The same process repeats endlessly: Each step forward in the technology of communication is more heavily tabooed than the earlier steps. Thus, in America today (post-Lenny Bruce), one seldom hears of convictions for spoken blasphemy or obscenity; prosecution of books still continues, but higher courts increasingly interpret the laws in a liberal fashion, and most writers feel fairly confident that they can publish virtually anything; movies are growing almost as desacralized as books, although the fight is still heated in this area; television, the newest medium remains encased in neolithic taboo. (When the TV pundits committed lese mejeste after an address by the then Dominant Male, a certain Richard Nixon, one of his lieutenants quickly informed them they had overstepped, and the whole tribe-except for the dissident minority-cheered for the reassertion of tradition.) When a more efficient medium arrives, the taboos on television will decrease.



Appendix Lamed- The Tactics of Magick

May 22, 2008 | Filed Under quotes | Leave a Comment 

taken from the Appendix of Illuminatus! Trilogy

   The human brain evidently operates on some variation of the famous principle enunciated in The Hunting of the Snark: “What I tell you three times is true.”

- Norbert Weiner, Cybernetics

The most important idea in the Book of Sacred Magic of Abra-Melin the Mage is the simple-looking formula “Invoke often.”
The most successful form of treatment for so-called mental disorders, the Behavior Therapy of Pavlov, Skinner, Wolpe, et al., could well be summarized in two similar words: “Reinforce often.”  (”Reinforcement,” for all practical purposes, means the same as the layman’s term “reward.” the essence of Behavior Therapy is rewarding desired behavior; the behavior “as if by magic” begins to occur more and more often as the rewards continue.)

    Advertising, as everybody knows, is based on the axiom “Repeat often.”
Those who think they are ‘materialists’ and think that ‘materialism’ requires them to deny all facts which do not square with their definition of “matter” are loath to admit the well-documented and extensive list of individuals who have been cured of serious maladies by that very vulgar and absurd form of magick known as Christian Science.  Nonetheless, the reader who wants to understand this classic work of immortal literature will have to analyze its deepest meanings, guided by an awareness that there is no essential difference between magick, Behavior Therapy, advertising, and Christian Science.  All of them can be condensed in Abra-Melin’s simple “Invoke often.”

The opposite and reciprocal of “Invoke often” is “Banish often.”
The magician wishing for a manifestation of Pan will not only invoke Pan directly and verbally, create Panlike conditions in his temple, reinforce Pan associations in every gesture and every article of furniture, use the colors and perfumes associated with Pan, etc.; he will also banish other gods verbally, banish them by removing their associated furnitures and colors and perfumes, and banish them in every other way.  The Behavior Therapist calls this “negative reinforcement,” and in treating a patient who is afraid of elevators he will not only reinforce (reward) every instance in which the patient rides an elevator without terror, but will also negatively reinforce (punish) each indication of terror shown by the patient.  The Christian Scientist, of course, uses a mantra or spell which oth reinforces health and negatively reinforces (banishes) illness.  Similarly, a commercial not only motivates the listener toward the sponsor’s product but discourages interest in all “false gods” by subsuming them under the rubric of the despised and contemptible Brand X.

%

I have never thought of the word percent before reading a chart in the book “The Great Bull Market” by sobel.

It has it printed as PER CENT.  Cent like a penny which there a 100 of in a dollar.  So, 5 per cent means. . . I don’t know.

I guess it has to be of something.  Like 5 per cent of the dollar, but 5 what per cent of the dollar.  could it be 5 cents per cent of the dollar which would make it 5 dollars.  I guess cent is meaning of a hundred.  so it would be 5 per hundred.  So, 5 per cent of a dollar is 5 per hundred of the dollar is 5 cents.

Sorry for the lame blog, I just thought I would type out a thought.

well shit…

Man, larry sechrest is a real piece of shit.  I mean it must really suck being this guy.  I thought I had a bad temper but I believe his much worse.  He has a real bad time with this whole “I think I’m better than everybody.”  I would really like to know what he finds so special about himself.  I would also like to know what he doesn’t like about himself that he keeps hidden from everybody in his life.  Cause you know he doesn’t like himself.  How could you if you were that fat and smelly and had that horrible sense of style.  My God, the poor poor man.

He bitched in a help desk ticket this weekend.  The battery back up I brought him was supposed to work.  And it kept failing on him every time he went to print.  And so he tried calling help desk but said he couldn’t get anyone on the line and that it just kept playing music, so he called the president of the university and complained to him about his problem.  So the president called help desk and got right through.  They then called my supervisor who then called me and I called larry (aka Bruce Willis) to see what the problem was.  He was very short, unappreciative, that I would care to help during the weekend and told me my supervisors boss had taken care of the problem because he was already on camps at the time.

You know what, what the fuck.  How can this bruce willis expect to get anymore help from people when this is the way he responds.  If he is so smart, why the hell could he not figure out to unplug his computer from the battery back up and just go straight into the wall, that is if his work is so goddamn important it has to be done now Now NOW.  Then do it now you prick, don’t expect anyone to stop what they’re doing to make sure some hopeless prick can do what he wants to do now.  This fuck never got any attention in his whole life, because he was never anything worth giving attention too.  The only way he could get people to pay attention to him was to go through as much schooling as possible, get all kinds of papers and credentials with his name on it get in front of a class room full of kids and try to show off how much he knows.  Only a few care, and that’s only for a small while.  Then he could finally get tenure and really start being a shit.  He wants attention, any kind of attention.  It’s probably the only thing that makes him feel alive because he has no feeling anywhere else inside of him.  He must get feeling and emotions from others because of his sad dark little life.

coming soon, new spider pictures.



chisos christ

May 15, 2008 | Filed Under quick thoughts | 2 Comments 

quick thought about christ cross and all that. Is the cross just symbolizing a cross road of two vectors. I’m not sure what word I want to use in place of vector, maybe magnitude or attributes. Maybe it is a symbolization of the crossroads of chaos and order, the same thing as the tao or yinyang.  I read off of links on pop’s page that the cross symbolized the old son god.  maybe those old people knew the same thing we did about light.  That we can’t tell if it’s a particle or a wave.  Somehow it was both, so somehow it was at  a cross roads of individuality and everything.  Basically “one with all, all with one”. (what is the symbolization of the three musketeers anyway?)  The sun (light) is this and that and thats why the cross represents it.  And we are all light because we are ourselves at this very moment to moment we are individually at this point, yet we are ourselves for our entire lives.  We are a point on the wave and the wave itself.

I don’t know, just a quick thought.

talk amongst yaselves.



first time this week

May 15, 2008 | Filed Under g'mornin' | 4 Comments 

This morning is the first time this week I actually feel good.  My head doesn’t hurt,  My guts are not backed up.  I’m awake and actually happy.  Alright.

Well, I watched Hostel II last night.  I was actually surprised that they didn’t try out goring Hostel I.

I don’t know if I have much to say right now.  I thought I did walking up to the office but I think I just got it all out.
That’s it.  That’s all that is on my plate and in my soup for this instant.  peace out.
