The Care and Feeding of the Practical Psychopath. 


Every generation has its challenges, its wars and its peculiar identity.
Every generation replaces the one in front of it and gets replaced by the
one behind it. The enemy of each generation is always the same. It changes
its clothes and terrain. It moves in and out of political ideologies and
religious dogmas but it's the same enemy.

Defining the enemy isn't an easy thing. You're dealing with continuous
shape-shifting. You think you are confronting it in front of you when it is
actually leaning over your shoulder and advising you. You find that it
agrees with you and is on your side only to discover that it has used its
seeming alliance to discredit what you believe in; to misrepresent what you
believe in.

One day it's the communists, next day it's the Nazis, today it's the
Zionists. Tomorrow it will morph into something else. It's always about
disinformation and confusion. It's always about treachery and deceit. While
it is filling your head with Al Qaeda and terrorism it is muscling up
against Russia about Kosovo and running Columbian insurgencies against
Venezuela. It's always moving on to the next conflict where it's selling
weapons to both sides.

It's controlling the information into the mass mind. It knows that you know
about it. It also knows that all it has to do is to control the larger
portion of humanity that does not possess objective reasoning in order to
make you ineffective.

It controls the flow of money. It opens the tap and closes the tap. It
prints money out of thin air. It goes back to 'the big dogs in the yard'. No
matter what time in history you find yourself in, the big dogs are there
along with the pigs and the reptiles. It's an unfortunate truth that animal
characteristics express themselves through human agency when the human
agency is open to that expression. This comes about when greed and the will
to power predominate over the inspiring angels of our higher nature. You see
a lot of it when materialism is in the ascendant as it is today.

You can say we're at war because of external threats; political differences,
the machinations of bankers, hegemony and the demands of empire or any of
the usual appearances which history has shown so many times. But. there's
only one war going on and that is the war between our higher and lower
natures. The corporations and the bankers and the politicians and every
enemy of the greater good for the greater number all work to turn you
against yourself; to make humanities lower nature predominate.

This is what dumbing down is all about. This is why the usual entertainments
are all cheap entertainments and why what passes for music today is full of
'pimps' and 'bitches' and 'ho's'. This is what tabloids are about and what
Rupert Murdoch is about. This is how you get worked and controlled; by
playing to your lower nature and by making you appear to be less than you
are. by demeaning humanity in it's own eyes. The trashiest aspects among us
are being held up as icons of success. The worst liars have the most
airtime. There is nothing accidental about any of this.

The sub prime mess and housing crisis. the millions living on edge; this has
all been intentionally manufactured. The first thing we must all realize is
that we are considered as nothing more than pawns and canon fodder to the
big dogs in the yard. The next thing that must be realized is that we are
dealing with psychopaths and it would behoove us all to know just what that
means. It is also important to remember that though psychopaths are not
human as we understand that term, they are practical. More on that later;

You become a slave when you cease to be your own master. None of what is
going on is new. It's older than 'bread and circuses'. It's about
distraction and Jack in the Box non-existent enemies that the state creates.
It points at the enemy with one hand and draws you into its protective
embrace with the other. It blows up trains and buildings and makes laws to
protect you from these events which results in increasingly restrictive
legislations against your freedom of action, speech and thought. It is right
out of Orwell but it was going on long before that. 

I tend to believe what Oswald Spengler taught. I believe in cycles.
Sometimes it looks dark indeed and sometimes it seems to be "getting better
all the time". The fact is that is just moves from one to the other. The
fact is that no one has ever taken over the planet and that no particular
evil has ever prevailed. It is true that millions upon millions have been
murdered and tormented in unpleasant ways but the vehicles that caused these
things did not last. Somehow humanity moved on. This present evil will not
prevail either. Do not believe that.

Do not believe the doomsday prophets. Do not believe that the big dogs in
the yard will prevail. Despair is just another weapon of the enemy and it
always comes back to the way you are made to feel about yourself. You are
made to feel powerless. You are placed into debt so that you have to
struggle to stay afloat and not be given the luxury of dissent or you will
not even have the job that keeps you bobbing in the waves. You are being
blackmailed with the threat of greater misfortune if you do not continue to
turn the hamster's wheel.

We hear that Don Imus actually went down because he threatened to reveal
things about the 9/11 false flag op. Now we hear that Dennis Kucinich has
backed off of his impeachment effort. We notice that with the absence of
Cynthia McKinnon there might not be another honest member left in congress.
Something very heavy is going on behind the curtains. No one is speaking
truth to power. What can this be that is pressing down on all of our
legislators that no one seems to have the balls to talk about?

There can be no doubt that the psychopaths are running an efficient game
upon the human race. There can be no doubt that they intend us harm upon
harm. There can be no doubt that we have no elected officials with the will
to oppose them. There can be no doubt that the present American
administration is a criminal enterprise. There can be no doubt that America
is under the control of a foreign power.

Psychopaths are practical, remember that. Realize that we do not have the
guns to storm the castle. Besides the reality of this fact there are other
ways to succeed. I have said it before and I am going to say it again. We
the people must stop the wheel. We must cease to work and to consume except
for basic needs. If we do not feed the beast with our time and money the
beast will have to adjust. Somehow, some way, what I am saying here has to
be repeated all across the internet. Somehow, some way, some courageous
souls must organize and it must catch fire across the country and the globe.
A week must be set aside in which some large part of the planet does
nothing, in protest of what is happening. It must happen again and again
until it succeeds. Psychopaths are practical.

Large spontaneous gatherings of people need to occur. People need to gather
in large crowds as a statement that things, as they are and have been, must
end. These could be like the old 'be ins' of the 60's. There is no need for
anything more than the presence of the crowd. There is no need to chant or
act out. Silent witness is a good ticket.

Those who sponsor the liars and support the horrors visited upon people in
foreign lands should have their products boycotted across the board.
Somehow, some way, enough of us have to catch hold of this idea and make it
happen. I guarantee it will work. There is no greater power that we have
than this; that we stop contributing to anyone and anything that does not
have our best interests in mind. We the people. "We the people."

You have a choice, seize the moment and bring these big dogs to heel. We are
far more powerful than they. Your choice is whether you now cry, "Hold!
Enough!!!" or whether you have something far worse thrust upon you further
down the road. There is no avoiding this issue. Either you act soon or you
will be compelled to act later after even greater and more protracted
suffering. We can expect nothing more from our leaders. They have failed us.
We can expect nothing from public and religious leaders and famous
entertainers, nor can we tell the difference between them. We must now
expect something from ourselves. We the people.

Wherever those words came from, Bart they are beautiful and soulful and sad.
I'm sad right now beyond belief. I'm mad right now beyond belief. I don't
know what to do anymore. I don't think I'm prepared to wait years and years
for things to change. People are dying daily, Bart. We are losing our civil
liberties and civil rights. People keep looking to a particular person to
save them. It's not going to happen. We have to save ourselves, but I know
it's going to take a long time. I just don't think I have that much time
that I'm willing to devote to all this. Maybe that sounds bad and selfish. I
don't know, and frankly, I don't give a shit. I am trying to deal with these
feelings inside of me, and I've had these feelings for a really long time. I
just keep pushing those fuckers down. I need some time to think about what I
want to do. I need to talk to Ron because I'm very depressed right now. 

 

Thanks for posting those beautiful words, Bart. They struck a chord with me.

 

Love,

 

K

Hi Kris ....

 

I am very sorry Dennis is not introducing the articles of Impeachment 

 

....the day of the State of the Union I kept checking to see if he had

 

done it and found out he postponed it.

 

Sad too that Edwards is dropping out ...not that he would have

 

been a great candidate .....just better than Hitlery or the Obamanation.

 

Maybe the machines will call McCain to victory.

 

I keep hearing this song in the back of my mind today ..

               -----------------------

If you go down round the bend in the river
You're gonna find a few changes been going down there
'Cause the people who live round the bend in the river
Have forgotten their dreams and they've cut off their hair

Chorus
And take a last flying look at the last lonely eagle
He's soaring the length of the land
Shed a tear for the fate of the last lonely eagle
For you know that he never will land

If you go down where the lights push the nighttime
Back far enough so you can't feel the fear
Remember the boy who you left on the mountain
Who's sitting alone with the stars and his tears

[chorus]

If you go down to the gas-powered flatland
Where most of the people just think that they're free
Remember the peace that you had on the mountain
Come back to the love that you had here with me

I've been wondering about this subject because I haven't heard anything at
all about Dennis issuing Articles of Impeachment against George Bush. Now I
know why. According to this article posted in Common Dreams, Dennis has
postponed impeachment efforts. Why? He says he is "hopeful there will be an
inquiry by the House Judiciary Committee". He also said, "I will give them
the opportunity to proceed before introducing articles of impeachment." And
he said this, "I do not believe that there will be an impeachment this year
- I don't think that will happen - but I do think that the questions
relating to an inquiry of both the president and the vice president are
important so that our nation has a real understanding of the effort that was
made, a consistent effort, to mislead the people into supporting a war."

Dennis should know by now that the House Judiciary Committee has no
intention whatsoever in pursuing impeachment against Bush and Cheney. They
are simply not going to do it. The entire Congress is complicit in the war
crimes, treason, crimes against humanity and violations of the U.S.
Constitution. If they impeach Bush and Cheney they will have to impeach
themselves, too, for violation of their sacred Oath of Office to preserve,
protect and defend the U.S. Constitution from all enemies foreign and
domestic.

Dennis is obviously focused now on keeping his Congressional seat. By not
moving forward with introducing the Articles of Impeachment, Dennis is
giving his seal of approval to the criminality committed by Bush. I think
this is setting a very dangerous precedent. Obviously, another dangerous
precedent is being set by Congress not moving forward to impeach the illegal
squatters, Bush and Cheney. This gives subsequent administrations carte
blanche to commit crime after crime with impunity knowing there will be no
consequences.

I like Dennis a lot. He has gone through a lot in his life to get where he
is today, however, I think his judgment on this is flawed. He should know by
now that the House Judiciary Committee is stonewalling and will continue to
stonewall on impeachment until Bush and Cheney are out of office. NOTHING
will happen to any member of the Bush cabal. They will walk away freely with
billions in their pockets and blood on their hands.

I am completely disappointed in Dennis' decision on not moving forward with
the Articles of Impeachment against Bush. NOTHING is more important than
standing up for what is right and for what is CONSTITUTIONAL. Loyalty to the
Democrat Party should fall far short of loyalty to the American people and
to the U.S. Constitution. Obviously, in this case, loyalty to party and to a
Congressional seat take a front seat and Oath of Office and loyalty to the
American people are in the trunk.

Would anyone care to comment on why Dennis would postpone introducing the
articles? What are everyone's feelings on this?

Kris
