Wikipedia -- Invisible Pink Unicorn
'The Invisible Pink Unicorn (IPU) is the goddess of a parody religion used to satirize theistic beliefs, taking the form of a unicorn that is paradoxically both invisible and pink. She is a rhetorical illustration used by atheists and other religious skeptics as a contemporary version of Russell's teapot, sometimes mentioned in conjunction with the Flying Spaghetti Monster. It is common when discussing the Invisible Pink Unicorn to point out that because she is invisible, no one can prove that she does not exist (or indeed that she is not pink). This is a parody of similar theistic claims about God—that God, as creator of the universe, is not subject to its laws and thus not physically detecting him tells us nothing about his existence or lack thereof. The Invisible Pink Unicorn is an illustration which attempts to demonstrate the absurdity of citing attributes and a lack of evidence as proof of a deity's existence.' -- Argumentum ad ignorantiam

The Daily Bell -- Zionism as an Elite Promotion or Fashion Statement?
'The one-world conspiracy is succeeding to the degree that it is because it has found a way to marry Money Power to an ever-expanding one-world government. It intends to run the world like a private fiefdom in which a handful of people will be kings while everyone else will be either dead or zombified slaves. Just as importantly, we speculate there is likely NO operative religious element at the core of the one-world conspiracy, not even "Satanism" or "Illuminism." People who are worth tens of trillions of dollars and are directing history are not likely to be exceptionally religious in our view. They are more likely to USE various belief systems and to exploit them to achieve their goals. They are more likely to believe they ARE gods than to worship one. Putative belief structures can be useful, though. They can be used, for instance, in an intimidating way. Illuminati symbolism is increasingly used in this way, in our estimation. See, there is a REASON for Lady Gaga and the Supreme Court in Israel. A certain kind of "messaging" is taking place – and it's aimed at us!' -- Pied pipers are piping

Freedomain Radio -- #1996 Sunday Show 18 Sep 2011 - Ideology and Religion (MP3)
"People who are in control of a particular ideology, and have people entrapped within that ideology, are very much into protecting their investments – and growing their investments. The dividends are enormous when you propagandize someone. You can't reason people into religion; you have to indoctrinate the children. The more irrational the doctrine, the more it is corrupt and undermines the minds of children. It has to attack the helpless. Ideology is an old sick lion: it can't hunt the healthy, it can only hunt the weak and the vulnerable, and that means children, always and forever. You let children discover religion on their own. You don't teach children conclusions; you teach them how to think, not what to think."

The Daily Bell -- Arab Awakening Pretext for Wider War?
'...what if the "Awakening" in all of its chaos was meant to set up a more polarized Middle East that would confront Israel in an regional war? We know the elites like to follow the road map of religious texts (which predict this sort of thing) because it provides a kind of cover. (Religious texts in this regard may act as a kind of predictive programming.) A war between Israel and the "rest" of the Middle East might entail nuclear weapons and the amount of people killed would make Iraq and Afghanistan look like minor skirmishes. Yet, the drumbeat for war continues. And would the result be a resurgent Israel that won new territory through enormously superior firepower? Would such a war, then, put the West in charge of the Middle East in a way it's never been before? Would it provide the fuel for even more Draconian rights crackdowns at home? Would it somehow place the elites closer to their goal of global governance?'

The Social Alter by Lloyd deMause
'...people first become hypervigilant and paranoid as catacholamine imbalances and serotonin depletion lead them to expect attack, then engage in sacrificial restaging rituals that are usually both sadistic – inflicting the trauma upon others – and masochistic – destroying your own wealth and even sacrificing your own lives. The result is a feeling of relief that we have survived the apocalypse in our heads plus a feeling of triumph produced by the manic opioid surge. Thus our early traumas become wired into separate emotional memory module and become projected onto the historical stage in such a manner that they appear to be happening to the group rather than being internal, creating group-fantasies so intense and compelling that they take on a life of their own, a life that is imagined as happening in a dissociated sphere called "society." These group-fantasies are dissociated and seem to have a life of their own, a life we term "social" or "political" or "religious."'

The Onion -- Evolution to Occur Thursday
'In a surprising announcement, scientists at Stanford University revealed yesterday that beginning this Thursday, human arms will become four to six inches shorter. The slight anatomical change, the most significant evolutionary development among homo sapiens in approximately 10,000 years, is expected to occur sometime between 4 and 4:30 a.m. EST. Thursday’s arm shortening will mark the first significant physical change in humans since 1948’s loss of opposable toes. “I’ll never forget that day,” said Frank Costello, 89. “It was around 6, and I was enjoying a delicious steak dinner with my wife Helen, when all of a sudden, my fork fell out from between my toes. I tried to pick it up again, but no matter how hard I tried I just couldn’t. I had lost all use of my feet, just like that.”'

NYTimes.com -- Harold Camping Rapture Prophecy Tests Families
'The Haddad children of Middletown, Md., have a lot on their minds: school projects, SATs, weekend parties. And parents who believe the earth will begin to self-destruct on Saturday. “I have mixed feelings,” Ms. Haddad Carson said. “I’m very excited about the Lord’s return, but I’m fearful that my children might get left behind. But you have to accept God’s will.” The children, however, have found something to giggle over. “She’ll say, ‘You need to clean up your room,’ ” Grace said. “And I’ll say, ‘Mom, it doesn’t matter, if the world’s going to end!’ ” She and her twin, Faith, have a friend’s birthday party Saturday night, around the time their parents believe the rapture will occur. “So if the world doesn’t end, I’d really like to attend,” Grace said before adding, “Though I don’t know how emotionally able my family will be at that time.”' -- What drives religious people to set themselves up for this kind of humiliation?

Freedomain Radio -- #1295 The Rise of Corruption Part 3 - Avoiding Self-Knowledge (MP3)
"The only knowledge we avoid is self-knowledge. Everybody already knows. When you say the state is violence, everybody already knows it. The reason we know that everybody knows it is the speed at which they get upset. If they didn't already know the implications, they wouldn't get upset. Statism is violence; there is no 'God'. You have to work hard to avoid that knowledge because it's so obvious. So what are they avoiding? They are avoiding self-knowledge: knowledge they already possess about themselves, about society, about their friends and family, about truth, about virtue, about integrity, about courage. All of these things. So when you speak an idea and people get upset, the knowledge that they are avoiding is not what you're saying but what they already know. They are reacting not to you but to themselves. If you have to conform to other people's bigotries or face attack and rejection – that's not a relationship – it's a cult. And everybody knows that."

The Daily Bell -- Is the Anglosphere Driving Militant Islam?
'It is well known that the CIA assisted in shaping the initial presence of Al Quaeda in Afghanistan to oppose the Russians. The Taliban, radicalized Pashtun warriors, were in many cases educated in Saudi-Arabia funded Madrassas. Everywhere one looks there is considerable funding (via Saudi Arabia of course) that supports Islamic fundamentalism and extremism. Supposedly, the Saudis have spent close to US$90 billion prosletyzing for Wahhabism throughout the Islamic world in the past 20 years. it beggars common sense to believe however that if the US were disconcerted by this spending that the Saudis would continue it. ...we believe the current Western-initiated wave of regime change sweeping the Middle East may replace "strong man rule" with Islamic republics. The idea is to polarize religious ideologies in order to create tension between East and West. Anglosphere money power then exploits this via military actions and by imposing further authoritarian mechanisms on its own citizens.'

'Dominant Social Theme: Beware of militant Islam. We fight against it to exhaustion and offer global governance in its place. – Contemplate the larger pattern. The Anglosphere has built up militant Islam piece by piece throughout the 20th and 21st century. Israel is as much of creation of the Anglosphere as militant Islam. ...the process of Islamic radicalization is neither surprising nor unexpected. It is part of a larger design that seems to be intended to pit the Western world against radicalized Islam. Even the purposeful introduction of Muslims into Europe and America has perhaps been calculated to inflate Western sentiment against Islam... the goal of the Anglosphere is world government, the idea of creating an ever-more troubled Middle East ...globalism can then be offered, inevitably, as a solution to nationalism and religious animosity, perhaps after a long, (but somehow non-escalating) military conflict. None of this is preordained, however. The Internet has revealed much...'

The Daily Bell -- Western Elites Secretly Still Building Islam?
'Is the war on terror a success? The Anglo-American elite needs an enemy if the authoritarianism that is rising in the West is to continue – because despotism (and globalism) is more easily created when there is an outside enemy. But fighting against 100 Al Qaeda soldiers in Afghanistan is not anybody's idea of a substantive threat. And the Taliban are evidently and obviously fighting an occupying force. What if the powers-that-be had decided to do what they could to expand the Muslim threat – and thus expand (in the Western mind anyway) the specter of resurgent, militant Islam? A cynical idea isn't it, dear reader. ...even close mainstream observers of the ongoing "war on terror," live with this cognitive dissonance without showing much consciousness of it – which is strange itself. ...the West is supporting the world's leading promoters of militant Islam all the while proclaiming undying resistance to "terrorists." The Western power elite always utilizes the Hegelian dialectic...'

The Evolution of Childrearing - The Emotional Life of Nations
'The act of having a child is, "the most forbidden act of self-realization, the ultimate and least pardonable offense," and brings with it inevitable fears of maternal retribution for one's success and individuation. Mothers in antiquity hallucinated female demons were actually grandmother alters in the mothers' heads, so jealous of their having babies that they sucked out their blood and otherwise murdered them. All early societies invented sacrificial rituals wherein babies were tortured and killed to honor maternal goddesses ... vowing that, "although Mommy wants to kill me for having sex and making a baby, if I kill the baby instead [usually the first-born was sacrificed], I can then go on having sex and other babies with less fear of retribution." Child sacrifice was the foundation of all great religions, depicted in myths as absolutely necessary to save the world from "chaos," that is, from terrible inner annihilation anxiety as punishment for success.'

The Psychogenic Theory of History - The Emotional Life of Nations
'The reason small groups and nations are unconsciously experienced as destructive mothers is that group development requires an increase in independence and individuation, as members grow, respond to new challenges and try to change their patterns of behavior. This independence revives earlier feelings of maternal abandonment. The worse the childrearing, the more growth panic is triggered by individuation and self assertion. More advanced psychoclasses cause "too much" social progress for the majority of society. Old defenses become unavailable and people cannot dominate scapegoats—wives, slaves, servants, minorities—in quite the same way as before. These less advanced psychoclasses—the majority—begin to experience tremendous growth panic, and new ways to handle their anxiety must be invented. For them, change is everywhere; things seem to be "getting out of control." This is why growth and self assertion [is] proscribed by the religious and political systems of most societies.'

The Evolution of the Psyche and Society - The Emotional Life of Nations by Lloyd deMause
'The precise details of the image of Christ on the Cross are all from childhood. Christ is shown as an infant (naked, except for swaddling-band loincloth), abandoned by Mommy (God), bound or nailed to a wooden Cross (the wooden board all infants were bound to during swaddling), with a crown of thorns (the painful head-shaping devices used on infants before swaddling) and with a bloody hole in his side (evidence of the childhood rape, vaginal or anal). Even the details of Christ’s life conform to routine childhood conditions. For instance, Christ got the bloody wound in his side, the subject of much theological concern, because his Father sent him down to be crucified—just as so many real fathers at the time sent their young children to their neighbors to be used as sexual objects—and the bad soldier stripped Christ and stuck his phallic lance into him—just as the bad neighbor stripped the child and stuck his erect penis into him.'

The Evolution of the Psyche and Society - The Emotional Life of Nations by Lloyd deMause
'Christ is, of course, the main Suffering Victim Alter who has been sent to earth by God to display his wounds and ask for pity on behalf of mankind. ...the masochistic personalities of early Christians put sin at the center of life and built up a church of expiation and confession that for the first time allowed pardon for the sins. But the Christian, like the abandoning mode child, then totally absolved the Mother/God of all blame by a simple trick, saying: "I am all to blame. I deserve the torture. Mommy/God will pity me if I torture myself." Christian masochism ritualized the absolution/penance ritual to assure adherents that when they felt unloved they could go to a church, relive Christ’s agonies, confess their sins, carry out penances and assure their Mommy/God that they still worshipped Her and that it was really the child’s/worshipper’s fault that Mommy/God was so unhappy.'

The Evolution of the Psyche and Society - The Emotional Life of Nations by Lloyd deMause
'As mothers moved from infanticidal to abandoning mode child-rearing, early Christians could internalize a mommy who doesn’t actually kill her children but only abandons them, both through emotional abandonment and through sending them to wetnurses, fosterage, monasteries, service with others, etc. Even profound neglect is less devastating than watching your baby sister be strangled, so early Christians could for the first time in history hope to get their mother’s/God’s love (redemption) if they show her their pain and get her pity. This display of pain to get the love of the mother is known as the masochistic personality, a lower level borderline condition, which for the first time in history enables people to imagine that if they debase and torture themselves, the mother/God will feel sorry for them and might provide salvation, eventual closeness, rather than just helplessness and unbearable loneliness.'

The Evolution of the Psyche and Society - The Emotional Life of Nations by Lloyd deMause
'In religions and politics, people turn to idealized authorities to avoid the risk of depending on themselves and to restage the painful feelings of abandonment by parents when they tried to individuate as children. Religions restage traumatic events encapsulated in dangerous alters. This is why the word "sacred" (sacer) everywhere designates "poison," "dangerous," "taboo," because the sacred is where we store our most poisonous, dangerous early memories. Gods, demons and spirits are not just containers for haphazard projections; they are highly organized and endurable, and so must first exist as durable, organized sub-selves in individual brains. It is through religious questions about God that people in the past asked their most important questions about Mommy: Why does she hate me, why did she tie me up, leave me abandoned in my feces, let me starve, why did she beat me, why did she strangle my baby sister, what does she want from me, what did I do wrong to deserve such torture?'

War as Righteous Rape and Purification - The Emotional Life of Nations by Lloyd deMause
'...dissociation into traumatized alters occurs more in [large] groups because one feels more helpless and more depersonalized, particularly in the largest groups, nations, and therefore more fearful. When we think of acting in society or even [speaking] in front of a large group, one feels more open to attack, to humiliation, and one can more easily switch into the traumatized hemisphere. Our first line of defense when in a social trance is to cling to a "strong" leader or a "strong" subgroup, merge our alters with them and join in various group activities, often violent ones, to defend ourselves. Thus it makes sense that the inevitable characteristics of a group [are] invincibility, grandiosity, irresponsibility, impulsiveness, suggestibility and fearfulness, all qualities of the neglectful and traumatic figures stored in our social alters. Without the laterality of the brain, neither politics nor religion can exist, as they do not in other animals who do not have divided selves.'

Freedomain Radio -- Against the Gods? by Stefan Molyneux (PDF)
'When a religious person is told that there is no God, what he hears is, “My parents lied to me.” A thinker cannot logically differentiate the nonexistence of a deity from the nonexistence of any other thing which does not exist. All con artists operate by affirming a general rule, and then creating an exception for themselves. A thief wants everyone to respect property rights except him; a counterfeiter wants everyone to accept the value of money except him—and a philosophical con man wants everyone to reject truth except for his own propositions. Don't fall for it, not for a minute! The moment an agnostic says, "Gods may exist in another dimension,” immediately identify the principle behind his statement, which is that no truth can be stated, and apply it to his own statement, thus rendering it invalid. To create a singular exception to a universal rule for that which makes you uncomfortable, rather than just admitting your discomfort, is dishonest and cowardly.'

"Parental/sibling trauma has to go somewhere. The more it goes into the state, the less it needs to go into religion, which is why marxists were virulently anti-capitalist, anti-corporatist, anti-democratic/existing quasi- monarchical governments within Europe in the 19th century. They had given up on God and therefore all of their projections [went] out of God and into the state/corporations – which is why marxists are so virulently anti-capitalist, because the capitalist is the elder sibling and the state is the parent. That's why they focus so much of their rage onto the capitalist because the capitalist is the intermediate power, [the elder sibling who has] more power than the worker [(the younger siblings)] but less power than the state. But they can't focus on the evils of the state because if they focus on the evils of the state, they have no solution because their solution is an ultimate state."

"On the other hand, you would then assume that people who were not religious but also drawn to the same [family abuse] paradigm... that because they don't have God or Satan to project their family/sibling abuses into, they would be far more ferocious about the existing state and existing corporations. So if you're an atheist or agnostic or skeptic or rationalist or non-fundamentalist – then you don't have the big bag of God – therefore your projections have to go somewhere else. Which explains why the more secular, humanistic/left-wing/marxist cadres within society tend to be so virulently anti-corporate and anti- existing state." -- Continues...

"So the more religious [people] are, the more they will tend to be free-market and less afraid of corporations because corporations don't have the projection of sibling abuse... However, Satan and God has all the projections. In the same way, to some degree, it would explain why more religious people tend to be less statist because – in the modern world, the modern libertarian paradigm – they have God into which they place all of their parental projections and therefore they can look upon the state as a thing itself rather than a big bag of emotional projection. So [religious people] can criticize the state because they're not unconsciously criticizing their parents. But if you criticize God, they get very angry and offended because then you are criticizing their parents. If you say God is not virtuous, they hear: my parents are not virtuous on an unconscious level. But because they don't project that onto the state, they can criticize the state very heavily."

"All unprocessed trauma must find a route somewhere, and if it does not find it's route in the truth, then it will find its route in mythology: the mythology of nationalism, of racism, of collectivism, of religion, of superstition, and so on. If trauma is not processed it will find substitutes in mythology. If that is the case – and sibling abuse is the last great unprocessed trauma of society – then this theory is able to explain some interesting set of phenomenon that occur within the realm of libertarianism -to- marxism. -- So Satan is a stand-in for the elder sibling; God is a stand-in for the parent. Corporations are a stand-in for the elder sibling; the state is a stand-in for parents. If that is true then we would expect... that those who are more religious would tend to be less critical of corporations. Why? Because they have the big receptacle, the big black bag of Satan to project all of their sibling trauma into." -- Continues...

"The temptation is to blame the younger sibling as if everything is equal. In this way, the republicans blame the poor for being poor; blame the blacks for being in ghettos; blame women for making less money; and so on. And then the younger siblings say they need the state to protect them from rapacious corporations and polluters and so on – when, of course, the government produces the corporations and polices and regulates them already – so if corporations are doing evil and the government is far more powerful than the corporations and regulates the corporations, then clearly it is not the corporations that are at fault – it is the government that is at fault since it has all the power. But it's far easier to blame the elder siblings and excuse the parents than it is to place the blame for evil within the family where it properly belongs, which is with the parents."

"And we see this repeated over and over in human thought. So when things go bad for government, the statists blame the corporations or they blame the party in power – they can never blame the [state (the parents), or the] principle of coercion which is the foundation of statism. And when things go bad in the world, religious people can't blame God because that would be to question virtue of God and foundation of their propaganda. [So they] invent someone else to blame, and in religion it's all sibling blame. So the elder sibling is Satan and the younger sibling is humanity. Blame the victim is absolutely essential for destructive families and for statism and religion. -- And what about the elder siblings? Certain punitive forms of libertarianism or republicanism which blame the victim are the elder sibling's and/or parent's response to the vulnerability of the younger siblings when they are hurt, ([usually] as a result of the actions of the parent or elder sibling)." -- Continues...

"...given that infanticide was so common throughout history, children who displeased their parents would very often be abandoned or killed. This is why the taboo has remained so powerful into the modern world. Questioning the virtue of parents arouses live and death anxiety for a lot of people. When you have a fantasy of virtue in a situation of evil, the only way that you can maintain the fantasy of virtue is for there to be a stand-in which explains the evil. So in general, whenever you have an absolute power, a non-power, and an intermediate power; parents, younger siblings, elder siblings – the youngest sibling, in order to preserve the illusion of the virtue of the parents, is going to pretend that the evil he's experiencing is coming from the middle power, the elder sibling, and that he must appeal to the parent in order to protect himself... But the reality is that the parents create the abuses of the elder sibling by being abusive themselves. And this is why it doesn't work."

"One of the things that is very strong and powerful within the story is the degree to which the moral responsibility of God for Satan is evaded and avoided. It is the unexamined and unacknowledged pathology within the parent that creates the pathology of the child. If the parent is all-powerful, then the parent is completely responsible for the abuses of the elder siblings because the power of the parents could prevent that. But, of course, it is the very power of the parents that creates the abuses of the elder sibling because it is the unjust exercise of power over the elder sibling that trickles down to the abuse of the younger sibling. Parents unjustly claim omnipotence and all-power and claim they are in complete control of the family... but then when children rebel or act badly, the children are blamed completely. So parents claim all the power in the world when it suits them, and then take no responsibility when the children act badly. This is exactly the story of Lucifer."

"So for that to be the case then Lucifer would have to be angry at God but unable to vent his anger on God, and therefore must take it out against the stand-in for the younger siblings in this religious model: humanity. Satan was angry at God and God cast Satan down into Hell, and Satan knew that he couldn't fight against God because God was all powerful. And so God cannot be punished and therefore the children of God i.e., the younger siblings, must be punished: must be tempted, must be teased, must be tortured, must be brutalized, must be brought into the hell of Satan. If you are a cruel elder sibling, what you want to do is to use verbal abuse to break down and destroy the personality and self-esteem and security and happiness and self-efficacy of the younger siblings. Verbal abuse relies on the sanction of the victim: you have to accept the words in order for the abuse to stick. Satan is, in essence, a verbal abuser. Like vampires, he has to be invited in in order to do any evil."

Freedomain Radio -- #1613 God, the State and the Family - Sibling Abuse Part 2 (MP3) (1)
"In family we have: parent, younger siblings and elder siblings. And in the state we have: government, citizens and corporations. So how does this model fit with religion? God is the parent, in particular, the father and the Virgin Mary is the child's conception of a mother because children don't know anything about sex and can't conceive of their mother having sex. So God's are the parents. And humanity is, of course, the younger siblings. So who are the elder siblings? The abusive elder sibling in religion is the Devil. Elder siblings, from the perspective of younger siblings, are produced by the Gods/parents. Lucifer was created by God as a lesser, independent being. Abuse against a younger sibling is the result of unactionable rage against the parent: You feel humiliated by the parent but you cannot act against them because the parent is too strong, therefore you must take your rage out on the innocent, younger sibling."

'A chalice (from Latin calix, cup, borrowed from Greek kalyx, shell, husk) is a goblet or footed cup intended to hold a drink. In general religious terms, it is intended for drinking during a ceremony.

FWHC -- Menstrual Cycles: What Really Happens in those 28 Days?!
'In the days before electricity, women's bodies were influenced by the amount of moonlight we saw. Just as sunlight and moonlight affect plants and animals, our hormones were triggered by levels of moonlight. And, all women cycled together. Today, with artificial light everywhere, day and night, our cycles no longer correspond to the moon. The lunar calendar's thirteen 28-day months had four 7-day weeks, marking the new, waxing, full, and waning moons. Thirteen months is 364 days. Pagan traditions describe an annual cycle as a 13 months and a day. Even today, Easter is the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox. The 13 month calendar also led to pagan reverence for the number 13 and the Christian attempts to demolish it. Generally, the ancient symbols of matriarchy were the night, moon and 13. Patriarchy (under Christianity) honored the day, the sun and 12.'

Genes-of-Isis: '“The prime example of the relation between the serpent and the mushroom is, of course, in the Garden of Eden story of the Old Testament. The cunning reptile prevails upon Eve and her husband to eat of the tree, whose fruit ‘made them as gods, knowing good and evil’ (Gen 3:4). The whole Eden story is mushroom-based mythology, not least in the identity of the ‘tree’ as the sacred fungus....” – John Allegro, “The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross” -- The first stage of the mushroom is considered male as it looks like a penis. Then the stem pushes the ball/uterus/breast up out of the egg. As the arms of the mushroom cap open to the sides, it’s as though the female aspect opens from the male “rib.”' -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanita_muscaria -- Poisoned chalice

Would u rather be rich or have ‘mad faith’? Is religion and important part of ur daily life? Do u wish ‘harvesting buzzbands’ was a religion? Why do poor people need God so much? Do white American poor ppl <3 God [via Walmart]? Should we go into Third World countries and try to make them ‘Christian’ [via modern crusades]?

Hour of the Time -- MAJESTYTWELVE by William Cooper
'You cannot hope to understand the philosophy (Illuminism) of any branch of the "Mystery School" (Illuminati) without many years of study and a complete knowledge of their "symbolic" language. You must understand that like many other organizations they attract those who completely miss the boat... or are just too stupid to "get it". When an individual joins a branch of the "Brotherhood," by any name ... or any other fraternal order or secret society, no one ever sits down with them and explains the meaning of anything. An actual literal esoteric education would be too dangerous. It could result in a public expose'—something which the Illuminati must avoid at all cost. But to give those who might understand a shortcut... Illuminism is COMMUNISM. -- The organization of the "Order" is a pyramidal structure of "Degrees". The ultimate "secret" is the method of controlling large numbers of fools with the promise of a "secret" which they are led to believe will make them one of the "elect".'

The Onion -- Nation Once Again Comes Under Sway Of Pink-Faced Half-Wit
'Dr. David Snider, a media historian and author of the book Frothing, Shouting Dim-Bulbs: An American Tradition, said that the current porcine loudmouth is the latest in a long line of pink-faced half-wits that began in the 1930s with the incendiary radio broadcasts of Father Charles Coughlin, a pink-faced half-wit Roman Catholic priest. According to Snider, this original pink-faced half-wit exploited the Great Depression to foment his message of virulent anti-Semitism—a tactic of shamelessly preying upon American misery and misfortune that has since been employed by nearly every pink-faced, intellectually corrupt piece of shit asshole to open his fat, disgusting pig mouth since. "These jowly nitwits are characterized by their false sense of moral superiority, as evidenced by the rash of philandering TV evangelists from the 1980s," said Snider, referring to a subset of pink-faced half-wits who took advantage of people's faith in a higher power to steal millions of dollars from them.'

The Onion -- If I Hadn't Found Jesus, I'd Feel Pretty Shitty About My Crimes
'Even here behind these thick penitentiary walls, there was no hiding from what I'd done to that poor family. Then, one night, it happened: I lay alone in my cell, my only companion the visions of wickedness that filled my head. Suddenly, there was a light, and somehow the light spoke to me. It was the voice of Jesus Christ. He told me he had died for the sins of mankind and all could find peace through his salvation. Was I ready to repent? Uh, let me think about that for a sec. Yup! I now know the power of forgiveness, because it was hand-delivered to me by the highest authority in the universe. It'd be nice if the friends and relatives of the Robinson family forgave me too, but you know what? That's between them and God. All I can do is forgive them for having judged me. If they harden their hearts and turn away from His love—well, I can only pity them, really.'

You’ve put them into this mode of a dog chasing its own tail for the rest of its life and that person is then going to pose absolutely zero threat to the power structures that exist in the world, because he’s going to be so consumed with his own inability to see this invisible apple that he’s not going to raise any sort of basic or sensible questions to those in power. ...you’re fundamentally, absolutely, and completely helpless, because how are you going to question the morality of those in power with reference to logic and facts and our common humanity, when at the very beginning of things, you swallowed this invisible apple and called it tasty?"

Alan Watt -- Mass Mind Control Talk (With Aldous Huxley Berkeley Talk)
'The trick that’s been used in ancient civilizations was to convince the public that nothing was real at all, and once you convince them of that, you’ve dominated them because whatever you do to them doesn’t matter because NOTHING’S REAL and that’s the usual spiel of psychological warfare which is put out by certain individuals even today. ...a Mason forms things. They shape society and the control mechanisms over society are reformed... Going back to Aldous Huxley... Anything which would take away, as he said, the incredible loneliness and anxiety that everyone feels. This apartness and this is again going back to the Masonic Doctrine of ONENESS. We’re all oneness, they teach you. They themselves at the top don’t believe that they’re all one, they tell you down below that we’re all one, that way we act is like a school of fish ...they are in a sense one. That’s not what human beings are all about but they will have us all move in the same direction and it makes us easier to control.'

The Daily Bell -- Why Bankers Didn't See Collapse
'There is no doubt that regulatory democracy, even as it descends in to chaos, is increasingly presented as a secular religion. We have written about the religious elements of central banking – which is nothing but the price-fixing of money and yields correspondingly ruinous results. Nonetheless, there is certainly a ritualistic quality about the various programmatic elements. Even the vocabulary that is used has a sacramental feel. The vestments of course are the expensive suits. The sermons occur when the bankers are called – as they regularly are – to give reports on the economy. Now that Western economies have all-but-collapsed, we can see (once again) in retrospect how disastrous it all was. And this is the larger danger, of course, for the power elite, which is struggling desperately to cobble together a belief system that is crumbling away. Of course, the elite and the mainstream media will not give up trying; they will stop at nothing to support the continuance of money power.'

The Daily Bell -- Religion
'[There are some who] interpret religious beliefs as a methodology of control that substitutes a bountiful afterlife for achievement and creature comforts during the person's lifetime. Another criticism of religion is that it stirs negative passions and incites violence as believers will try to convert others to their faith by whatever means necessary. Religion, when examined historically, does not seem to involve organized violence unless linked to a formal political structure. It is only when the state itself becomes involved in a religious promotion that organized destruction—and even genocide—may result. It is not religion, even organized religion, which is the problem, but the coercive power of the state that utilizes faith-based organizations to realize non-spiritual, parochial goals. It is unfortunate that humanity's spiritual hunger is available for manipulation by the most powerful among us.' -- Fortunate, because it clues people into the consequences of their irrationality.

Gisted -- 'Morality' is a form of a magick because without morality there's no self-attack, and if you can't get your slaves to self-attack for disobedience then the costs of human ownership and control are really high. The immoral, the amoral, and the evil all understand that if you can train people in 'virtue' when they're young, then you own them for life because people so desperately want to be good. It's all the 'moralists', the 'virtuous', and so-called 'good' people who say that morality doesn't work and who try to come up with every single possible exception to a virtuous rule in order to paralyze real virtue. But the evil people know morality *does* work because they've successfully indoctrinated children using the argument from morality (that obedience to the State is virtuous, that the State protects, that the State helps the poor, etc) and ensured that people can never escape from the noose of 'morality' or the invisible fence of slave-on-slave attack.

'...the archbishop’s incredibly pompous and self-pitying rant [in defense of Pope Benedict] is some of the most depraved horseshit I’ve ever seen on the internet, which is saying a lot.

But I almost couldn’t believe my eyes as I read through Dolan’s retort and it dawned on me that he was actually going to use the “We weren’t the only child molesters!” excuse. These pompous assholes run around in their poofy robes and dresses shaking smoke-filled decanters with important expressions on their faces and pretending to great insight about grace and humility, but here we have the head of the largest Diocese in America teaching his entire congregation that when caught committing a terrible sin, the appropriate response is to blame the media and pull the “All the other kids were doing it, too!” stunt!'

Freedomain Radio -- #1351 Political Parties: Republicans (MP3) (2)
Gisted -- Hysterics believe *everything* is personal responsibility and don't take into account the wider context. This is because of their deep-seated need to punish. The reason all hysterics have a need to punish others is because they are reproducing the intense punishment they received as children. In the absence of enemies, enemies will be invented. Religious people are constantly inventing enemies to attack because they have invented a God that attacks them constantly and in order to restore any kind of 'sanity' or equilibrium they have to invent enemies to attack because the whole religion is the invention of an enemy called the true-self which they have to attack. Thus they will attack their own human natures, their sexual lives, their curiosity, their reason, their skepticism, their empiricism. This is why religion is such a cancer. You'll notice Republicans are distinctly ill at ease when they're without an enemy. All their *real* enemies are, of course, within themselves.

And religion is, of course, fundamentally hysterical: an 'All-Powerful God' is obsessed with not only your every decision and action but also your every thought! -- Republicans are fundamentally hysterical; they employ a lot of fear-mongering. People are hysterical that way because their inner lives are dead and where their heart, empathy, and sympathy should be is just a dead moon crater of nothingness because the impact of their early childhood has completely snuffed out any possibility of a lively, curious, and engaged interaction with life. When people are emotionally dead, they require drama: they require enemies, they require danger, they require conflict, they require anger, they require self-righteousness, they require all this false-self bullshit.

'The 21st Century's answer to Socialism, Environmentalism is a disease deliberately inflicted on retards by The Man for the purpose of depopulating poor places. While the former emphasized adoring the false idol of The State, Environmentalism consists of adoring the false idol of Pagan Goddess Mother Nature... The most notable symptoms of environmentalism are unwarranted Self-Importance, a false sense of morality, disregard for human life, lack of reasoning ability... Environmentalists are actually incapable of contributing anything to any cause they claim to support. That's why they instead try to prevent others from contributing to society. For example, they like to prevent cures for diseases from being invented by protesting animal testing. Considering Environmentalism is a mind-altering disease (much like Zombism), it makes sense that those infected with it will try to propagate the infection and prevent the development of a cure, much like how AIDS attacks the immune system.'

Ribbonfarm -- Morality, Compassion and the Sociopath
'The fact that many readers have automatically conflated the word “sociopath” with “evil” in fact reflects the demonizing tendencies of loser/clueless group morality. The characteristic of these group moralities is automatic distrust of alternative individual moralities. The clueless are not capable of much compassion, unless they can very strongly identify with the person. ...the clueless and losers often externalize their moral sense, into some sort of collectively (and ritually) adopted code, thereby abdicating responsibility for the moral dimension of their actions entirely. You don’t have to think about the morality of what you do if you can just appeal to some code (religious texts are the main kind...). The morality that they defer to is always a codified communal version of the views of some charismatic sociopath, but it is the abdication of responsibility, as a group, by the clueless and losers, that amplifies the impact of both the Hitlers and Gandhis of the world.'

Spiked -- Anything ‘sustainable’ is not worth having
'It is telling that the works of the eighteenth-century doom-mongering demographer Thomas Malthus are more popular today than ever before. Malthus is back at the centre of public discussion. The whole hierarchical notion of inequality, and most importantly the whole notion of limits, which Malthus so forcefully promoted, is palpable in public debate today. It is best summed up by the widespread idea that having too many babies is a bad thing, that we should slap a ‘carbon tax’ on children, and that one can demonstrate one’s maturity and sense of responsibility by not procreating because human beings are polluters with huge carbon footprints. That ideology is very important and is underlined by a quasi-religious, almost medieval idea that ‘we are getting what we deserve’.' -- DANGER -- '...we don’t simply want things to be sustainable - we want things to move forward, to progress, to develop. ...what is really lacking today is some kind of progress-related, progressive ideology...'

They are the ones who ignore the data; they are the ones who believe on faith alone, without evidence; and, most important, they are the ones who are trying to stifle the opposition without answering it.

Spiked -- Putting a forcefield around green ideas
'By first demanding that green views be put on a par with religion in the eyes of the law and by then suggesting that green views should be elevated above religion because they are ‘underpinned by science’, Nicholson not only debased religious belief but also expressed an ignorant attitude towards the scientific process. As Frank Furedi has pointed out on spiked: ‘Science emerged through an intellectual struggle to free humanity from the tyranny of sacred dogma… science depends on an open-minded and open-ended attitude towards experimentation and the testing out of ideas.’ Nicholson’s efforts to stamp out opposition to those who ‘believe in anthropogenic climate change’ is an expression of dogmatic thinking if ever there was one.' -- Back to the dark ages. It's quite shocking how far the neo-feudalism meme has spread. You'd think people would be weary of being manipulated as a useful idiot, but somehow an inflated sense of self importance takes its grip...

Telegraph -- Climate change belief given same legal status as religion
BELIEF / STANCE / CLAIM / ASSERTION / PROPOSITION / PREMISE / THEORY / CONVICTION / FAITH / THOUGHT / FEELING / UNWARRANTED SELF IMPORTANCE! -- 'An executive has won the right to sue his employer on the basis that he was unfairly dismissed for his green views after a judge ruled that environmentalism had the same weight in law as religious and philosophical beliefs. -- The ruling could open the door for employees to sue their companies for failing to account for their green lifestyles, such as providing recycling facilities or offering low-carbon travel.' -- UK: Anti-carbon fundamentalist snitching state.

Newsweek.com -- The Evolution Of An Eco-Prophet [Fraud]
'Al Gore's views on climate change are advancing as rapidly as the phenomenon itself. [Because the science is running up after him and kicking his ass.] Gore hopes laypeople [middle class useful idiots who've been given the chance to make their numbed lives 'meaningful' by contributing to 'something larger'] will exert political pressure for what he calls "large solutions." [Rents] Our Choice reflects the experience of someone who knows that it is lawmakers and business leaders who can implement the "laws and policies we really need, including getting a global climate treaty." [We? Psychopaths always invoke the royal 'we'.] "Despite suffering one of history's worst political fates..." [What do you think fueled this latest psychopathic campaign for world capture and adultation? Power by any means, even your end if necessary.] Gore imagines a future generation asking how we averted catastrophic climate change "...we lifted our eyes to the Heavens and saw what we had to do."' -- Nutjob

NYTimes.com -- Does Curiosity Kill More Than the Cat?
#AGAINST -- Thomas Aquinas: "[In going beyond the boundaries of God] they are doing something great, if with surpassing curiosity and keenness they explore the whole mass of this body which we call the world; so great a pride is thus begotten, that one would think they dwelt in the very heavens about which they argue.” -- Lorenzo Scupoli: “They make an idol of their own understanding.” -- Paul Griffiths: “In a world where curiosity rules, unmasking curiosity as a destructive and offensive device ... amounts to nothing less than a ... radical critique of superficiality and constant distraction.” -- John Henry Newman: “In such persons reason acts almost as feebly and as impotently as in the madman: once fairly started on a subject, they have no power of self-control.” #FOR -- Pascal: “Curiosity is only vanity.” -- Jonathan Robinson: “What we are talking about is the desire to satisfy our curiosity on any and every conceivable subject that takes our fancy.” -- Amen to that.

io9 -- Are Science Fiction Franchises As Popular As Religion?
'Like all great religions, the franchises have mysterious histories, preserved in decaying books and obscure pamphlets. The thread that unites all of them is an overarching tale of social outcasts who find holy books that show them the light, and lead them to secret congregations where mystical debates and opinions are exchanged. Converted by these ancient books, the earliest fans began to build the franchises that would transform their visions of other worlds into the pillars of new belief systems. In the end, religious fervor is good for the pocketbook of the culture industry. The more we worship, the more we are willing to pay for action figures, for DVD box sets, for expensive reissues and signed first editions. These things are trinkets for our shrines, outward signs of our devotion. And like all religious objects they are dosed with a symbolic meaning that goes way beyond their unbroken plastic seals. They ward off what hurts us in the world. They promise better things to come.'

The Onion -- Weakling President Asks Imaginary Man In Sky To Bless Nation
'WASHINGTON—In a display of weakness unbecoming a head of state, President Barack Obama concluded remarks to his nation Tuesday by asking a pretend man who lives in the clouds to watch over and guide the United States. "Thank you, and may God bless America," said the clearly insecure president, who, by seeking the aid of an imaginary being who is neither his ancestor nor someone with whom he shares a tangible harmonious relationship, freely admitted that he has little faith in himself and his inept team of jester advisers. According to sources, citizens of the U.S. depend on the fanciful grandfather of magic to take care of everything for them, from aiding their tiny overseas army, to curing their illnesses, to helping their sports teams achieve victory, to providing little Jimmy McDonalds with his silly toys. Mindless spirituality reportedly inhibits progress and remains a bulwark against government rule. 鱼' -- (What's Mandarin for 'CHANGE!!!' ?)

Harpers -- Faustian economics: Hell hath no limits by Wendell Berry
"... once greed has been made an honorable motive, then you have an economy without limits. It has no place for temperance or thrift or the ecological law of return. It will do anything. It is monstrous by definition ... the commonly accepted basis of our economy is the supposed possibility of limitless growth, limitless wants, limitless wealth, limitless natural resources, limitless energy, and limitless debt. The idea of a limitless economy implies and requires a doctrine of general human limitlessness: all are entitled to pursue without limit whatever they conceive as desirable... this credo of limitlessness clearly implies a principled wish not only for limitless possessions but also for limitless knowledge, limitless science, limitless technology, and limitless progress. And, necessarily, it must lead to limitless violence, waste, war, and destruction. That it should finally produce a crowning cult of political limitlessness is only a matter of mad logic." -- Supersize We

"If You Find This World Bad, You Should See Some of the Others" By Philip K. Dick
"I, in my stories and novels, often write about counterfeit worlds, semi-real worlds, as well as deranged private worlds inhabited, often, by just one person, while, meantime, the other characters either remain in their own worlds throughout or are somehow drawn into one of the peculiar ones. This theme occurs in the corpus of my twenty-seven years of writing. At no time did I have a theoretical or conscious explanation for my preoccupation with these pluriform pseudoworlds, but now I think I understand. What I was sensing was the manifold of partially actualized realities lying tangent to what evidently is the most actualized one, the one that the majority of us, by consensus gentium [general consent], agree on."

NYTimes.com -- Young Muslims Build a Subculture on an Underground Book
“This book helped me create my identity,” said Naina Syed, 14, a high school freshman in Coventry, Conn. After reading the novel, many Muslims e-mailed Mr. Muhammad Knight, asking for directions to the next Muslim punk show. Told that no such bands existed, some of them created their own, with names like Vote Hezbollah and Secret Trial Five.'

BPS RESEARCH DIGEST -- How parasites spread religion
"Although religion apparently is for establishing a social marker of group alliance and allegiance, at the most fundamental level, it may be for the avoidance and management of infectious disease."

Wikipedia -- The Matrix (series)
"The Matrix series has also inspired a new religious movement called Matrixism: The path of the One. The religion was conceived by an anonymous group in mid-2004 and by November 2004 it claimed to have attracted upwards of 300 members. Current reports indicate that there are now approximately 16,000 followers of Matrixism worldwide. Even though Matrixism has grown substantially and its Geocities website (username: matrixism2069) has received significant attention in the media some still debate whether Matrixists are serious about their beliefs."
