They Didn't Need God

In my view, the most significant threat to the human race is what it has always been: war. War is nature's way of saying, we have reached an impasse; there is no other way out. War is needed to clear the decks of lies, disinformation and the confusion that is choking off the natural processes, reason, conscience and common sense. Currently, we are poised precariously on that cusp. It could go either way. Science, the last bastion of anything resembling truth, has been co-opted by ideology. Government has fallen to corruption. Truth has become whatever anybody says it is. Policy is based solely on the most recent pronouncement.

Pronouncements are issued daily. Most are at odds with what has come before. Distrust of any source is at record levels. It's interesting to note that major media has refrained from reporting on the 'climate gate' scandal - as if, by not mentioning it, it can be made to go away. Common sense dictates that climate gate was never credible anyway. Neither is Keynesian economics; neither is socialism. All these work together in the building and maintaining the paradox that is (this new eco-based) religion and do not represent a practical (or secular) way foreword.

When functioning is restricted to swirling in the narrow part of the funnel, we find ourselves in what Camus referred to as the 'spitting cell', "a walled-up box in which the prisoner can stand without moving. The solid door that locks him into his cement shell stops a chin level. Hence only his face is visible, and every passing jailer spits copiously on it. The prisoner, wedged into his cell, cannot wipe his face, though he is allowed, it is true, to close his eyes. Well, that, mon cherie, is a human invention. They didn't need God for that little masterpiece."

Cowering Before Midgets

Only by listening to the John Batchelor Show can we hope to understand how the geopolitical plates connect. The idea of proxy wars fought by client actors is not something the MSM is very good at conveying. For them, the automatic hand-off is invariably back to America in order to prove their point that everything is America's fault - or, to be more precise, everything is the fault of America's Republican administrations.

Even though this template cracks time and time again from persistent misuse, the MSM will not give it up. They are as if enslaved, consumed by the notion of guilt which, they pompously feel, only they have the power to adjudicate. As they lack both the knowledge and the power to see beyond themselves, they keep harping on the same straw dog, not realizing that no one can realistically assert with certainty the innocence of anyone; that every man must testify to the crimes of all others; that cowering before midgets solves nothing – for the only real sin is the sin of surviving in a world where everyone else is doomed.
