Extinction or the elites. Choose

[wcepler]

Human civilization is actually see spot run simple to analyze. What science calls "critical variables" are the vampire elites, i.e., the one percent or less of humankind who are the literal Gods and Goddesses of planet Earth.

Jesus knew all about the elites and so did Karl Marx. Marxism is now dead and buried (probably just as well as it was so easily perverted in Soviet totalitarianism), but at least it was 100% clear that astronomically rich people are the terminal cancer of human existence.

The problem is what to do about it, since establishment politics (like establishment religion) is ruled absolutely by vampire elites. The "vampire" modifier here is more than poetry, since the elites are literally sucking the life blood out of Mother Nature. Again, the metaphor fits the rape and murder of our bleeding planet by Texas energy corporations.

It's a little like being told you are dying (rapidly) from a disease for which there isn't any cure. We know EXACTLY what the disease is (vampire elites), but "traditional medicine" (i.e., establishment politics & religion) is part of the illness, never the cure.

Take Bill and Hillary Clinton as a case in point. Bill Clinton may have charisma, but he spends so much time licking the jack boots of Daddy Bush, that his tongue must be as black as his conscience. Also, let's never forget he was elected as a liberal who turn coated into a corporate centrist.

And we don't know if the DLC Hillary Clinton Doll even exists! She/it never takes a stand about ANYTHING, so she, like her husband, is an incarnation of those zero change politicians (i.e., fascists) who the elites manipulate like video games.

So, no help from the house-trained Clintons. But also, no help from establishment politics (i.e., our dem/pug ONE party system).

Thus, this brings us back to square one. The supreme evil of human existence is the Have and Have not distinction, i.e., the vampire elites, but how do we get the majority of the planet to realize this? NOTHING could be more self evident, but our planet suffers not only from the pathology of greed, but also, alas, from the pathology of sloth.

Indeed, to borrow psychological terminology, sloth is the "enabler" of greed, i.e., no sloth, no greed. God in heaven, we are talking about a international cabal of elites who have kept at least 99% of the human race under their boots since the beginning of time.

SO WHY DON'T WE BLOODY DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT? Mostly because they created these b.s. social game rules to justify and maintain their infinite selfishness (which we slavishly obey, e.g., sloth) -- but we also have the MORAL RIGHT and a 99 plus percent majority.

In short, it all comes down to why are we agreeing to play by social rules which forever condemns the "Have Nots" (i.e., practically ALL of us!) to a Middle Ages peasant existence. We still pay all the taxes. Our children are used as cannon fodder for their contrived Greed Wars. We watch the heartbreaking rape of murder of Mother Nature, and whenever we get representatives who miraculously speak for the human race, they promptly get assassinated, e.g., J.F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Senator Paul Wellstone, Bobby Kennedy, and all those targeted high profile Democrats who got anthrax in the mail.

We have learned over and over again that the elites don't hesitate for a heartbeat to assassinate whomever speaks for humanity, even though millions and millions of people all over the planet are passionately convinced that 9/11 was "facilitated" by Bush/Republicans (i.e., the elites), just as they believe all the Bush Oil Wars (Afghanistan included) are all about MAKING MORE MONEY for the elites.

Of course, the Judas media writes off these possibilities as conspiracy theories, even though "conspiracy" here means establishment denial. Again, however, we should never forget that millions and MILLIONS of people in and out of America believe all these Bush/Republican treasonous horrors to be true, just as they believe the neocon cabal and lobby (which NEVER lobbies for the well being and national security of the United States of America) is the ultimate cancer of planet Earth.

It is always useful to follow the money and whatever families, organizations, countries, and communities who symbolize and incarnate the pig, pig rich are the precise Heart of Darkness monsters of civilization.

If an extraterrestrial planetary physician examined our desperately wounded Earth, its (his/her?) diagnosis would be that the only hope of human civilization and its ecosystem is to DO WHATEVER WE HAVE TO DO to emancipate our planet from very rich people. These anti-humanity "social game rules" are blatantly suicidal. We have to find in our hearts and souls whatever it takes to "transcend" these rules with apolitical hardball.

The face of God may be mysticism beyond measure, but the face of evil is the elites, and how much longer are we going to allow our lives, the lives of our children, our planet, and civilization to be literally eaten alive by these bloated vermin?

If we don't find SOME way to get rid of the Have and Have Not horror, the abyss of oblivion is but a few steps away. Remember New Orleans. Remember the biological insanity of fossil fuels. Remember we have a Yale cheerleader president who has trouble even "pronouncing" the word science. Remember that we have Oil War after Oil War whose sole purpose is to MAKE RICH PEOPLE RICHER . . . and please remember that brutal, self righteous, hypocrisy of the "Christian Right" about tragic Terri Schiavo.

Extinction or the elites. Choose.

1. Resurrect The Guillotine I Say - Let Each Of Them Watch Their Peers Perish

Should put the kibosh on elitism real quick!

2. the vampires take from Mother Nature, and from the other 99 percent

and are entirely responsible for the mess we're in at the moment.

8. It's not just Mother Nature the vampire-elites leech off -- it's us

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among men, deriving their powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of those ends, it is the right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government.

The Declaration of Independence was -- and still is -- a radical document, not just because it asserts the right to revolution, but because of the grounds on which it proclaims that right.

For 5000 years -- from ancient Sumer to George III -- the doctrine of the elites had been that kingship descended from heaven. This was not merely a poetic metaphor or religious conceit. It was a social philosophy which asserted that power and authority came from the stars, descending from above to anoint the heads of divinely-ordained rulers, that lesser officials then obtained their own power as a grant from those rulers, and so on, down to the lowliest peasant who was left with nobody to kick around but his dog.

(Trickle-down economics is a kinds of faint echo of what that doctrine looked like in its prime, but it was much starker then, and enforced by a lot of bowing and scraping and rubbing of noses in the dirt.)

However, the radical thinkers of the 18th century turned the pyramid of authority on its head. They believed in a world without divine miracles -- but one in which every human mind was an image of the mind of God. They thus held that the conscience of each well-informed and judicious individual was not merely the best but the only way of getting in touch with the higher will of the universe. And their central concern in establishing a democratic government was how to hook up the discernment of an enlightened citizenry in a way that would avoid both the tyranny of the elite and the hysteria of the mob.

Leaving aside the question of precisely what phrases like "the mind of God" might mean in the 21st century, the formulation of our Founding Fathers still applies. If there is such a thing as the "mandate of Heaven," it certainly does not descend from above. Rather, it wells up from the roots, through each and every one of us. It is from that life-blood of democracy that our government obtains all its powers, without exception. As long as any government serves its proper function of securing our rights, we are content to let it exercise those powers. But the moment it becomes destructive of them, it is nothing other than a vampire -- forcefully draining us of the life-force we would no longer offer voluntarily.

There has been a war going on for the last two centuries between the old descent-from-heaven mindset of the elites and the (literally) radical, from-the-roots alternative. Almost everything that is at stake in the current struggle can be seen as an aspect of that war.

Evolution, for example, is hated by the right because it asserts that life advances through the cumulative decisions of every individual organism, with no all-knowing authority figure to control it. Cultural diversity is hated because it implies, at the very least, that there can be multiple traditions, multiple sources of authority, multiple right ways of doing things. And anything that could pass for hedonism is hated because it suggests individuals should be out following their desires rather than the dictates of authority.

In 200 years, the elites haven't managed to come up with a new theoretical justification for turning the pyramid point-up again -- and they're never going to. The further science advances, the clearer it becomes that the entire universe is bottom-up. Not only is there no god-like authority figure, but the laws of nature themselves are coming to appear less like eternal dictates handed down from above and more like a cumulative agreement by specks of matter and energy in some unimaginably distant era that they were going to play the game henceforth by certain rules.

And that lack of justification is the ultimate reason why the elite have become vampires. The ancient god-kings may have literally demanded human sacrifices -- but as the initiators of civilization, they had something to give in return. The relationship between rulers and ruled was symbiotic then and not merely parasitic. But we don't need them any more. We've done that job, we're putting the finishing touches on setting a single global civilization in place, and it's time to move on to the next adventure.

But meanwhile the elites, lost in fruitless dreams of what once was theirs, are doomed to be left behind.

3. House trained?

The Clintons are house trained? Wouldn't know it by all the crap they deposit wherever it pleases them.

Ha, ha. I can dig it!

9. if only, if only

Of God, if only if only. For this man politics is fighting the good moral fight and blessings upon him. Gore too. We HAVE people with honor and intelligence. The trick is that we've got to outflank the dem/pug machine. God knows, there's enough of us that if we all pull together we can virtually do anything. 2008 may be literally be the tipping point of human civilization.

solidarity, Bill

7. K & R

That pretty much states exactly how I feel.

10. how about extinction of the elites?

[wcepler]

11. them or us

them or us -- or for that matter, them or the planet

[Hawkowl]

12. Dismal

I think that the human species is doomed. I think that it will be a miracle if we can actually throw off the yoke of the "elites". Only twice in this country's history have we even come close. The revolutionary war period and 1940 - 1972. This is a tough row to hoe.
