Humanity On A Cross of Iron

There has only ever been a division in the world between two groups of people, and that is the rich and the poor, the powerful and the powerless, from those who live the life of leisure, upon all those who labor to provide it. And who keep their power and their riches through divide and conquer, using race, creed, color, etc, as weapons, and by using a legal system that gives the largest  punishments to the smallest criminals, and a political system that rewards financial crooks with an involuntary "bonus" under the elaborate ruse that it's really a necessary "bailout."

We may dress it up in any name we wish, but these powers have always been at odds on some level, in every conflict, war, and genocide we have ever engaged in.

Politics and religion, both of which use "science" in the cleverest of ways, are themselves simply exceedingly clever schemes by which division is sown, and always by those who reap the riches of the various horrors such divisions are designed to produce.
 

And in producing such horrors, humanity, after it has slaked its horrible hunger for tearing itself limb from limb -  and always for the most admirable of reasons, convictions, and "beliefs" -  is humbled enough again to submit to the authority of those who insist such an arrangement is the only way, through the spectacle of  its own orgiastic crucifixion, at its own hands, on what Eisenhower called "a cross of iron."

Today, politics and religion are basically two kinds of "wizards," projected by those who depend upon our tacit support of their authority over us. They sit behind a curtain of powerful positions, that should be torn down, to reveal that those behind it are no different from ourselves, except that they have succeeded through getting humanity to applaud their breaking of all of the Ten Commandments, as long as they simply promise that they're really doing it for us.  


They get there via the Left or the Right, for both are subject to the manipulation of this grand democratic experiment, which is a bit like Zimbardo's Stanford Prison Experiment, only the subjects of the democratic experiment have no ability to call the whole thing off.

In fact, those in power are so drunk with wealth that they actually believe they earned it.  And since we're the one's they fooled into giving it to them, as John D Rockefeller might say, they must have.

Why Are Republicans Pro Life?

Most people don't realize that the Supreme Court has been in the hands of the Republican party since at least 1970! In fact, even in the landmark case of Roe v Wade that legalized abortion, SCOTUS was inhabited by 6 Republicans and 3 Democrats, and the vote was 7 to 2. One of the reasons is that the Republican Party has absolutely ZERO desire to win on the abortion issue. And that's because abortion gives the GOP a clear focal point with potentially unlimited organizing power. And it's an even simpler message to sell than religion, since we are "pro-life." (if that was true, however, they wouldn't be actively trying to repeal healthcare for up to 30 million Americans, nor would they be so pro-gun, pro-war, pro-death penalty, pro welfare cuts, pro- social security cuts, pro- drone strikes, etc). The Republican party officially became "pro-life" in 1976, thanks to Jesse Helms (R-NC). The only reason no serious challenge was brought within the pa...

The Clash of Religious Beliefs with Reality: Over Simplicity in a Hyper Complex World

God is the anthropomorphism of  our hope that life has a "happily ever after" ending, where there is no such thing as death and suffering, which we anthropomorphize in the form of the devil. In a sense, we are taking ideas and turning them into phantom figures of our selves, with angles and demons being projections of our own souls and our penchant for good and evil.  We see this when we anthropomorphize the act of gift giving into Santa Clause and think in terms of "old man winter" and "father time." We even reverse this process by describing ourselves as living in the springtime of our youth or the autumn of our years.  Religion takes this habit to another level, however, and teaches people to "believe" that the personifications we rely on to describe our hopes and fears are actual "beings;" beings from whom all of the characteristics we tend to associate with ideas of life and death, good and evil, necessarily emanate. Thi...
