THE ILLUSION OF PEACEFUL RESISTANCE

No Comments »

Almost overwhelmed by the increasing frequency of occurrence, I have been driven to relate an alarming trend I have encountered recently among my peers, not only in terms of their lack of knowledge and foresight, but also a strange and infectious unwillingness to act against violent and despicable people with any sense of justice or obligation. To make the point more visible I would like to use the unprovoked and brutal police attack on a University of Florida College student, Andrew Meyer, during a recent John Kerry Q & A on September 18, 2007. Many of you are familiar with the incident, and I have even heard that “Don’t tase me bro!” jokes are floating around certain circles of young men and women who claim to be anti-authoritarian when their nature has shown nothing but a hypocritical sort of condescension. I’m glad they’re getting a laugh, and to be sure, they’re not the only ones. I watched the full uncut video, which was not shown on mainstream news outlets (CBS’ editing of the video was deliberate and almost criminal in that it was designed to misinform), and I was gripped with a sense of astonishment as the young man confronted Kerry about his membership in Skull and Bones along with George W. Bush. If you pay close attention, they cut his mic immediately after this question is asked, and then drag him to the back of the room where they tase him several times. Now, during the procession of this event, in a packed hall full of students, no one stood up to say anything except a single elderly woman. No one. And if you have a shrewd ear, you can even hear a few people in the audience giggle as he screams and writhes in agony during severe electrocution. Many people get a laugh from these things it would seem.

Perhaps it is the massive indoctrination system that one generation after another has been filtered through, progressively more so with each passing decade, that has driven apathy into our minds and made us weak. The minimalist actions of recent protest groups in the face of outrageous police aggression and the demeaning requisition of our rights to publicly address our grievances has shown us to be perhaps the most pathetic and useless communal breed in history. I see the malicious violence of the state increasing exponentially with every passing year as the same bewildered and unorganized student yuppie spawn clamor about the streets in shock, trying to understand how the police could be so brutal towards their pointless and unassuming little ‘Non-Violent Protest.’

“Hadn’t we done everything right?” They ask themselves. “Didn’t we get a permit? Didn’t we go to the “designated protest zone?”

What they fail to understand, is that by taking to the streets, they have made themselves a symbol to other people, and when you make yourself a symbol, you take on not only personal convictions, but the cultural responsibilities of the world itself.

The CFR and others that form the elite Aristocracy that run our world know quite well that to crush a man who fights for an idea is to, in a sense, crush the idea itself, at least for a time. Protests represent the power of free and direct action of the people, but the concept of protest has been so warped over the past forty years that it is hardly recognizable today. When a person takes to the street they are no longer an incensed citizen, they are the defender of an idea, and ideas are sometimes more precious than life itself. To become a successful protester, one must place the idea before his own well being, and the inability of the average person to do this is precisely the reason why most protests fail.

THE GANDHI COMPLEX

Gandhi and his model for Non-Cooperation are invoked time and again by the modern activist as the highest evolutionary model for citizen action, and the common philosophical assumption surrounding his strategy is that of Non-Violence. ” An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.” Wise words to be sure, and in the case of the burgeoning Indian independence movement, it was true. But Gandhi’s techniques were in no way reflexive against violence. In fact, wherever his marches went, bloody and unhinged carnage ensued. This violence was of course committed by the tyrannical British authority and the protesters in this case knew full well that they would be attacked. In fact, their whole purpose in protesting was to provoke an attack from their oppressors, and in this attack, they accepted the possibility of death. This is not non-violent protest, this is the most aggressive form of action ever devised.

Activists today consistently cite Gandhi’s model, ignorantly, without understanding the essential values behind it or even attempting to follow the true example. After studying hours of protest footage over decades of public decent, I have not yet seen a modern American protest in which an activist was consciously willing to put his life on the line for his ideals, or for his friends, or anything else for that matter. In fact, they mostly run for cover at the first sign of trouble, leaving anyone unfortunate enough to stumble behind to be beaten mercilessly by several riot officers at once. I would say that whatever point they were trying to make was successfully cracked from their skulls, unless the point they were trying to make is that cowards are the best enemies to have.

The purpose of any protest is to invoke a response or to interfere with an event. A protest without a purpose is not a protest. It is a feeble waste of effort, and simply showing your “numbers” is not a purpose either. But many protesters of the present day apply their own private ‘purpose’ to their affiliations and participation, and the psychological transparency of their motives is absurd. To act with out meaning? No, the meaning is clear. The lost and wretched melancholy masses, disturbed, disgusted with themselves and their lack of control over anything, have chosen in their guilt to walk on a street with a sign, simply because, it makes them feel better about themselves. It gives them the illusion of participation, the illusion of change. Deep down, they know it isn’t real, and yet they go on, because changing things for the better is not important as long as one feels good about himself for pretending to try. Ah, and we wonder aloud how the world grows worse and worse! Not only is their interference anything but peaceful, because there are always zealous policemen ready to draw blood, but their act of protest is in itself a delusion. For those who hold Gandhi as their model for intervention, I would ask them each a vital question; Gandhi was willing to die for what he believed, can you honestly say the same?

SELF DEFENSE IS NOT BRUTALITY

This aversion to violence appears after careful observation not to stem from a general feeling of goodwill or an outdated sense of the Hippie mentality. “Love conquers all” is certainly a poetic mantra, and in a world without the Council on Foreign Relations, this way of life is undoubtedly the eventual and desired outcome of all humanity’s efforts. However, the immense failings in this methodology in our current social climate are readily apparent to anyone with open eyes and discerning sight. I realize many people will wholly disregard what I am about to say due to stiff witted affiliations and an overall narrow-mindedness, but let us be TRULY honest for once in our aimless lives shall we. This obsession with inaction and uprooted defensive posturing has absolutely nothing to do with a “Peaceful” mindset or some bullshit inklings of universal brotherhood, and it has everything to do with a hidden and crippling sense of fear. Fear of confrontation, fear of authority, fear of losing the valueless lifestyle most of us have scrounged for ourselves in the wake of a gripping and horrifying reality. One day, whether we like it or not, we are going to wake up to a world turned upside down. We will gaze around ourselves in awe, as everything we knew to be true is torn away to reveal surroundings frightening and unfamiliar, and we will be deathly afraid, and we will wish for everything to be just as it was before, and we will give away what little dignity we have left to get just a taste of the illusion again.

It’s beaten into our brains, over and over by leftist political machines and right wing rudimentary propaganda; “the truest heroes are martyrs,” men who are taken off, without fighting back, to set an example for the world. Horse shit! Nonsense! The men we are dealing with now scatter the pieces of children across the Iraqi desert with cluster bombs and they do it on purpose! They control the financial institutions of almost every nation in the world, and have devised methods to enslave those nations with the creation of unpayable national debts. They killed three thousand Americans on 9 / 11 with demolitions at the core of the Twin Towers so that they could fuel the fires of unjust wars and further impede our freedom. They devised the Gulf of Tonkin incident to draw us into a long and gruesome ‘police action’ in Vietnam. They invested millions of dollars into the Thule Society and the Nazi Party, which is the ONLY reason that the Second World War ever occurred. Over many centuries they have engineered the deaths of millions of innocent people. Do you really believe they will be impressed or defeated by some misplaced movement driven by so called “universal love,” a concept which most people only profess to understand? Does anyone really believe that tyranny and cruelty of this magnitude can be washed away by a bunch of people holding hands and ‘wishing’ with all their might?

If you think that people like these can be shamed or thwarted in such a fashion, then you are a fool, and you’ll probably end up under a pair of steel toed boots wondering why the cops don’t share your love. Gandhi, Martin Luther King, these men were shot dead and the Elite went on with their plans of domination without missing a beat. The Illuminists do not give up. They do not go away simply because we refuse to cooperate. They are the makers of war and calamity, they are manipulators of the collective unconscious, their very purpose is to upset the balance of peace, and so, for peace to ever gain hold in our lifetimes, THEY MUST BE REMOVED, BY FORCE IF NECESSARY. Self defense and the protection of truth is not a political strategy, it is a moral imperative. Those who know intuitively and from experience what is most honest and right have an inborn responsibility to protect that knowledge, and to protect others. There will come a time when there will be no such thing as protest in any form, and it will be the self serving activists that will give up the right gladly, because it never mattered to them in the first place. The only thing that mattered was their fear of fighting back.

To put all this in perspective, if a man is about to lock you in a cage, and you have the ability to stop him before he does it, then what here is the moral imperative? Do you let him lock you in the cage even though this does not have to be? This is exactly what the activists of today are prepared to do at any given moment. If a man is about to maliciously shoot you in the face and you have the means to shoot him first, then is there any question of relativity here? The answer, if you are still mulling it over, is no. No, free people do not willingly allow themselves to be silenced. Free people do not stand by in apathy to have everything they love laid waste. If you are an individual, and you are free, then in the face of evil you fight, or you are no longer free. For anyone with any sense of reality, this is undeniable. Self Defense is not a dereliction of our desire for peace, it is a matter of survival. Not survival for ourselves necessarily, but of the great and everlasting truth; the essential and unbroken knowing of freedom.

In every conflict there is violence, from one side, or the other, or both. This is a fact that is ignored at the peril of all. Those who search desperately for a compromise will find only failure, for in the clash of certain ultimates there can be no diplomacy or reconciliation. The greatest conflicts on earth revolve succinctly around the inborn and definitive realities of the human soul and all men and ideas that attempt to subdue these realities. In this war of Individuality versus Imperialism, only one can remain intact, and there are only two methods that a society victimized by its rulers can employ to effect change in the face of such a condition:

1. TRUE NON-COOPERATION

True non-cooperation has nothing to do with burning a draft card (which may come back into vogue in the next decade). It has nothing to do with excessive drug use as a form of flippant rebellion, or poorly organized black-blocks that only embarrass the spirit of the movement. It has nothing to do with having a loud mouthed opinion backed by nothing but overt sign language and empty threats. True Non-Cooperation means standing physically and directly in the face of illegitimate authority and never backing down, ever, even if your personal well being is at stake. For one who chooses non-violence, to put it candidly, this means taking a beating for the cause. If you cannot do this, then you should not be protesting. Holding a sign and shouting achieves absolutely nothing, especially in our modern age where mainstream media dilutes and spins every major demonstration in this country, and the psychological tactics of riot squads have been honed to their peak. A semi-organized movement without meaningful drive and specific goals, especially immediate goals, will fail. Like it or not, this is the reality.

2. PHYSICAL DEFENSE

I’m sure that there are many Law Enforcement Officials who are at heart very good people. I’m sure that many of them originally intended to join Policing establishments to affect a change for the better and to help society. I’m also sure that many of them did not realize that by wrapping themselves in a uniform and a flag that they were signing their souls over to the CFR, but this is what they did. They enforce a law that is not constituted by the people but a small group of global elitists. They do not represent you and I, they represent the CFR. They take and follow orders from hideous men, and so that same hideousness is often reflected in their actions towards their fellow human beings. This presents those who wish to voice their grievances with a perplexing discord, an inner contradiction, for all people search first for compromise. In the case of the CFR, there will be no compromise. In fact, they will take more and more from us until there is absolutely nothing left, this is their purpose. For those of us who realize that Non-Cooperation alone will be ineffective, for those who hope dearly for peace but know in this case it cannot be achieved by peaceful means, this feeling of discord can only be overcome in one way; direct action. That does not necessarily mean full scale violent and mindless revolt. It does mean, at the minimum, active self defense against any person who physically attacks you or who uses violent means to impede your right to publicly assemble. This includes law enforcement. A police officer is still a man with an inherent conscience, and he can take off that uniform anytime he pleases if what he is ordered to do conflicts with his conscience. If he is ordered to commit acts of brutality against innocent people and this does not affect his sense of what is honest and constant, then he is an enemy of humanity by his own choice, and should be treated as such.

As with Non-Cooperation, in Self-Defense fluidity without purpose is death. Organizations do not necessarily have to be constructed on rigid dynamics of hierarchy in order to function well. I believe a group of Leaders could achieve more, faster, than a group of mindless followers. However, a synchronous relationship would have to exist between the many leaders of this group, with a deep commitment to each other and the goals they pursue. Many citizen movements have been crushed over the past century by CIA “Divide and Conquer” strategies, which you can study online in any CIA domestic operations overview. Vietnam Protests were often disassembled without any force on the part of the FBI, or CIA, because all they had to do was create hubris and ineffectuality within the movement, causing egos and petty ideas to clash, and manipulating people into forgetting their original intentions.

An active and highly intelligent group with wisdom and a spiritual imperative, a deep connection and feeling of responsibility for the world, and carefully focused strength and courage could in short time completely undo the wicked foundation that elitists have spent centuries to build at the expense of millions of lives. This group would have to set aside their ideas of Non-Violence to an extent, to physically protect those who wish to use Non-Cooperation, and to protect themselves from harm. This group would have to be self disciplined, flexible in strategy, and intelligent in its progress. It would also have to be built completely upon a dedication to truth, for what else could combat an organization bound in its monstrous form to an amalgam of lies.

SEATTLE: WHY IT WORKED, AND HOW IT COULD WORK BETTER

Most of us are quite familiar with the events surround the 1999 WTO Summit in Seattle and the subsequent direct action protests which sent shockwaves even the mainstream media could not completely ignore. Why, after so many gutless and hollow World Bank protests, did Seattle catch the Global Elites and their riot squad thugs off guard? There are three reasons, all of which must be applied to any street action in order for it to succeed:

Unity: All the various Union, Environmentalist, and Anarchist groups involved in G8, in some cases for the first time, actually worked together! Here’s a tip, working together instead of squabbling like retarded spastic nine year olds does wonders for any protest, and Seattle was proof. It is time for all separate activist groups and “isms” and “ists” to finally open their eyes and realize they’re fighting against the same people. Its time to set aside our petty differences on how to behave in a protest children, you’ve wasted enough precious energy haven’t you? There are no separate agendas. There are no separate group actions. We are all genetic cargo on the same sinking ark folks, this-is-the-reality. Wake up, throw down your inflated egos, and help each other for God’s sake!

Purpose: Unlike in most protests, activists in Seattle had a very specific goal which united them; stop the WTO summit. The reason Seattle had such a large psychological effect on the movement was the fact that they had a goal, and they succeeded in that goal. The WTO summit never really happened because they were too scared to go on with it. When you have the Elites frightened, then you can claim victory, otherwise you have wasted your effort. All protests must have a specific purpose or they will fail.

Direct Action: Direct action protesters took a major role in Seattle, standing fast and defiant. Sorry non-violent activists, but direct action gets the point across and it gets the job done. Again, in their brutality the police have created their own monster, and they should be made to deal with it. If they didn’t incessantly antagonize and attack people and their right to peaceably assemble, there would be no need for direct action. We must never forget that they carry out the will of the top one percent of society. They carry out the actions of men who are bent on taking away everything we hold dear. Do not feel guilt in striking back. I believe we will discover soon enough that this is the only way to effect meaningful change, whether we like it or not. Only the strength of will and the means to implement it can sway those without conscience or heart and end finally the social dystrophy of tyrants.

It may seem paradoxical, but in order for any movement to gain in strength, sacrifices must be made. This includes personal sacrifices. In the grand scheme of things, our wage-slave jobs are not important. Our comfortable American lifestyle, regal when compared to most of the world, is not important. The acquisition and amassing of money and ‘things’, our cars, our houses, our home entertainment systems, our hundred dollar shoes made for two dollars in Indonesia, our obsessions with frugal consumption, are not important. Our childish attachments to narrow religious dogma (this includes Atheism, which is dogmatic in my book), our reliance on mainstream and corrupt sources of information, our desperate desire to become one with the tide regardless of the depths to which we may sink, all of these dependence inducing mental barricades are ultimately what keep us from the true and very real solace and strength that awaits for those who are courageous enough to question that which in their hearts rings false. Protest in the wake of tyranny is not a diversion from your life, it is your life, and everything in your future hinges upon its success. Therefore, material values should never be a deciding factor in the pursuit of this goal.

TRUTH AND MADNESS: THE GENERATION OF SACRIFICE

To those who read this now in discomfort and incredulity, to those who cannot fathom the very real peril in which we now stand, to those who laugh at the very thought, I can only offer my sincere regrets. I would finish by freely taking on a conducive label so commonly heard among people of my research and intellectual background that it has become the second name of those who know the truth; yes, as our society stands, I am most certainly a ‘madman’.

Is it that we are lost in the shuffle of a culture that has not found room for us, you may ask? Must it be that we are alone and distraught, obsessed with created shadows and foggy ill conceived figments of imagination? Do we see what is not there? In my long and arduous study of the secrets behind our world, I find that the average misinformed people who stumble upon our work always ask these questions in earnest, trying to understand how a man can come to mistrust so much a social structure that has done nothing but coddle and enrich average misinformed people. Instead of attempting to find the answers for themselves to the questions we pose, they automatically instead try to question the questions. As if there were never any reason to ask such things. Our civilization has become its own nightmare and we are sinking ever further, and now we cannot even ask questions. How wonderful it must be to have it all figured out. How peacefully these people will die when everything comes undone and the men who control our world unleash disaster.

I have become tired of the misinformed. I have become tired of the labor and terrors they create for the rest of humanity, in countries were there is no buffer zone between the people and the dark. There are those that wish to remain in a state of self possessed euphoria in the midst of the American doldrum dream, and retain an unusual sense of pride in this twisted process. I have decided to no longer be kind to the self proclaimed “sane” men who promenade around us. I will no longer be understanding. I will no longer compromise. May the “Madmen” of Earth beat their drums over the heads of the common and fill their ears with undeniable burning truth. May we scream with fire and unrest if only to drown out the lies for a single moment. May we experience life, at least for one sharp striking beat, with only that which is honest and right to confront us. I see many obstacles to overcoming the terrible machine that is now consuming our lives and converting our free hearts to dust, and many of these obstacles are “common people.”

APATHY IS THE ONLY “REAL” ENEMY

The apathy of the present in lieu of future’s promise; this is the destroyer of free men. And none are more apathetic than those of my generation. The able bodied twenty years to thirty who are, over the next decade perhaps, to decide the fate of Billions. Nothing is more prevalent among my peers than fate and design. We have grown to loath our own humanity, and see no option other than a quick exit or the end of everything along with us. At least we have our drugs to make the time pass easier. We’ll lecture each other on the meaninglessness of existence, and the inevitable self destruction of our species. Some even seem to look forward to it, as if their own death is not enough. Only in the passing of the world would they see justice done, all the while never knowing the true monster driving their reactionary lack of self worth. To these people I say; you are absolutely right. You-are-worthless. You have made yourselves worthless with your lack of love and compassion for the world that gives you life. If you truly loved yourself and others around you, then you would fight what is about to happen. You would not let the gift you have been given be taken and used by evil men. Ask yourself how you came to believe in your own purposelessness? Is it because you truly believe that there is no reason for existence, or is it because you are afraid to be faced with the reality of purpose?

I believe that throughout history, there are selected generations. Not selected by fate, for in fate there is no insight, but instead selected by destiny, for in destiny there is awareness, and there is choice. These generations are faced with a disturbing if not insurmountable choice. To follow in pursuit of their personal desires and dreams, to care only for the designated future they have set in their minds, or, to sacrifice their personal pursuits and self centered lives so that other generations may continue on, free to pursue, and to dream. I call this the “Generation of Sacrifice,” and I believe my generation is such. Our time is compelling the issue ever further, pressing upon us the great choice, and many of us are still trying to escape the question. The forces mounting to take control of our lives are the most intricate and massive enemy the human race has ever witnessed. All tyrants and all wars, all catastrophes and all tragedies of the past will pale in comparison to what we the Sacrificial Generation are now called to endure and defend. It is here, now, in the next decade that all that has culminated over thousands of years of engineered and manipulated human history that the plans of the Illuminists are about to climax. Their goal of an all pervasive one world government designed to dominate all aspects of human life will soon be upon us.

We stand firmly and imminently at the tipping point of the world. We have been born in this very place, at this very time, for a reason. Violence is a fact of social transmutation that we cannot avoid or parley with shallow idealism or false convictions. It is not something that we should necessarily embrace, but something that we must except as a part of our tangible reality, whether in the form of Non-Cooperation or Self Defense, the greatest and most decisive conflict of all ages has fallen to rest in our trembling and precarious hands. To fight for a lasting and legitimate peace, to risk all for the truth in the face of vast opposition, is not irony or paradox. It is the greatest undertaking of humankind, and an act that has been purposely driven from our culture, replaced with poor substitutions that breed only Pacifism and Nihilistic escape.

To be free. To decide ones own destiny. To come to an understanding of life without outside interference or manipulation. To achieve strength, honor, compassion, and eventually, individuation, until each man is his own country, and all countries stand together in equal cause. Nothing is more worth fighting for, nothing is more worth sacrifice. I ask you to forget what you have been taught, to forget the artificial limitations that are forced upon you. I ask you to remember what it was like to marvel and aspire. I ask you to believe in possibility, instead of simply accepting that which you know to be counterfeit. I ask you to see, here, now, not what we appear to be, but what we truly are. I ask you to endure, resolutely planted in the Earth, in the face of all men that would bring down upon you emptiness and fate, and to never yield.
