Desert City

<

 
 
I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority. One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast. People worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, “Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?” The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise authority for forty-two months. It opened its mouth to blaspheme God and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. It was given power to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast. Whoever has ears, let them hear: “If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity they will go. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, with the sword they will be killed.” This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of God’s people.
 
 
The Green Man sings of the desert. Lowering his voice to a gaunt chant he evokes images of cities rising from the sterile desert, the desert as graveyard and someday resurrection. He promises a phoenix dawn. You must go to the desert, you must find the desert where you are, build the desert, heat and dry and burn to bring the desert. You must hack and chop and butcher and slaughter. You become the soul of the eternal city, you bring the image of the city floating in mid-air, the image wavering over the sterile desert.
 
The screen spans the wall evoking a desert, while the images from the screen and the fire in the minds of the viewers meld to bring holograms of desert towers, desert temples, skyscrapers, silos, desert armies, missiles, desert flames surging to the skies, hovering and wavering in mid-air projection of the inflamed brain.
 
The Green Man tells of the destroyers of the Earth, the great producers, the great bringers. They bring the sterile desert. And the massed people, the great consumers, unto the desert and then of the desert. They won’t be assimilated after death, but the great dessication they set in motion shall preserve their physical bodies, they shall live eternal mummies, the worshiped ancestors.
 
But only the elite destroyers, the great Leaders of the Desert will be worshiped, and the rest of your mummies will be tossed away as waste. But you shall be honored nameless as having perpetrated the great death and then destructed the great Necropolis.
 
This is the Green Man’s word on the climate in flames, climate searing and seared, charred and charring, driving the heat, driving the chaos, creeping always toward the dry, always toward the fire, always toward the desert.
 
 
I do not recall distinctly when it began, but it was months ago. The general tension was horrible. To a season of political and social upheaval was added a strange and brooding apprehension of hideous physical danger; a danger widespread and all-embracing, such a danger as may be imagined only in the most terrible phantasms of the night. I recall that the people went about with pale and worried faces, and whispered warnings and prophecies which no one dared consciously repeat or acknowledge to himself that he had heard. A sense of monstrous guilt was upon the land, and out of the abysses between the stars swept chill currents that made men shiver in dark and lonely places. There was a daemoniac alteration in the sequence of the seasons—the autumn heat lingered fearsomely, and everyone felt that the world and perhaps the universe had passed from the control of known gods or forces to that of gods or forces which were unknown.
 
Then I saw a second beast come across the earth.
 
It was then that Nyarlathotep came out of Egypt. Who he was, none could tell, but he was of the old native blood and looked like a Pharaoh.
 
He exercises all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and causes the earth and its inhabitants to worship the first beast whose fatal wound had been healed.
 
The fellahin knelt when they saw him, yet could not say why. He said he had risen up out of the blackness of twenty-seven centuries, and that he had heard messages from places not on this planet. Into the lands of civilization came Nyarlathotep, swarthy, slender, and sinister, always buying strange instruments of glass and metal and combining them into instruments yet stranger. He spoke much of the sciences — of electricity and psychology — and gave exhibitions of power which sent his spectators away speechless, yet which swelled his fame to exceeding magnitude.
 
He performs great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to the earth in full view of the people. With these signs he is given power to perform on behalf of the first beast. He orders the inhabitants of the earth to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived.
 
Men advised one another to see Nyarlathotep, and shuddered. And where Nyarlathotep went, rest vanished; for the small hours were rent with the screams of nightmare. Never before had the screams of nightmare been such a public problem; now the wise men almost wished they could forbid sleep in the small hours, that the shrieks of cities might less horribly disturb the pale, pitying moon as it glimmered on green waters gliding under bridges, and old steeples crumbling against a sickly sky.
 
 
The Green Man has conjured the pantomimes of cultural and political motions. Before most of the people became aware of the crisis the chains had been slapped on and all possible motions were collapsed to one, always forward march toward an image of water and green shimmering amid the hazes. Those who could squint their burning eyes now and then enough to clear the haze were sure they saw infinite desert. But this caused no moment of doubt or reflection, for the haze and shimmer immediately would return. More, the image of desert did not repel, only further led them to stagger on. The image went deep because the infinite dead desert is the one and only true faith of the atoms of the mass. And if anyone could think for a moment that the green watery shimmer might be a mirage hovering over salted sands, this too only deepened the allure of the desert.
 
The Green Man projects images to be twirled by the priests of fire who dream fevers that will engineer the sky and sea on behalf of the beast, engineer the living flesh to fuel the furnace of the beast, inflame the holocaust to explode the beast’s voice into space where it sends men’s nightmares hurtling toward another planet to destroy. These beasts and their priesthood wear the robes of fire and heat as their emblem of the gods of desert aflame.
 
 
The second beast is given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refuse to worship the image to be killed. He forces all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they have the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.
 
I remember when Nyarlathotep came to my city—the great, the old, the terrible city of unnumbered crimes. My friend had told me of him, and of the impelling fascination and allurement of his revelations, and I burned with eagerness to explore his uttermost mysteries. My friend said they were horrible and impressive beyond my most fevered imaginings; that what was thrown on a screen in the darkened room prophesied things none but Nyarlathotep dared prophesy, and that in the sputter of his sparks there was taken from men that which had never been taken before yet which shewed only in the eyes. And I heard it hinted abroad that those who knew Nyarlathotep looked on sights which others saw not.
 
 
The masses sense the self-destruction of their onslaught. They know they can’t be sustained much longer. They sense the coming earthquake. Already they fancy they feel the surge. They feel the ground shake under their feet.
 
They desecrate their souls to redoubled commitment to the Extreme Energy civilization: Dominion promised by ancient faiths of Abraham, Dominion promised by the modern priests of fire who also still sacrifice at the ancient altar, Dominion of infinite Production as God, Dominion of infinite Consumption and Waste, Dominion of Destruction, Dominion of Mammon, Dominion of Progress, Long Live Death.
 
They fight through nightmares to believe everything happening is natural and sustainable. They desecrate their souls to rebuilding Sodom and Gomorrah the great cities of the salted desert, so the saturnalia of murder and destruction can continue. As the mythologist put it, they’ll continue “free and wild and beyond good and evil, with laws and morals thrown aside and all men shouting and killing and reveling in joy. The liberated Old Fires would teach them new ways to shout and kill and revel in joy, and all the earth will flame with a holocaust of ecstasy and freedom.”
 
Their mirage needs to reinforce the sands underlying it. They must believe in collective salvation and collective immolation as one goal. This Father and Son are joined by two-headed Dominion to complete the Trinity under the mushroom fire. Man vs. Nature, Nature as an enemy to be subjugated and exploited by Man, a woman to be raped by science, an automaton to be tortured, Gaia as the realm of Satan to be Reclaimed in preparation for the Rapture/Second Coming/Singularity, all these fundamentals preached by the priests of fire, all one sign of the crumbling existential confidence of the civilization, one castle built on the sterile sand it has strewn beneath itself.
 
 
It was in the hot autumn that I went through the night with the restless crowds to see Nyarlathotep; through the stifling night and up the endless stairs into the choking room. And shadowed on a screen, I saw hooded forms amidst ruins, and yellow evil faces peering from behind fallen monuments.
 
The people sit and watch the show, passively receive images to eyes, hologram sparklings come out and hover, all hi-tech and dazzling even as the screen shows all water dissolving, all green curdling to desert. Some march with older holograms of oil derricks in the desert, others with new-fangled ones depicting the world turned all to desert to be covered with metallic panels, to store the holocaust fires in one big battery.
 
This sterile desert is not the natural living flowering desert. It’s the desert of salt, of wasteland, the desert city of death.
 
I stood on the sand and looked at the phantom sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority. One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast. People worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, “Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?” The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise authority for forty-two months. It opened its mouth to blaspheme God and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. It was given power to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast — all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world. Whoever has ears, let them hear.
 
And I saw the world battling against blackness; against the waves of destruction from ultimate space; whirling, churning; struggling around the dimming, cooling sun. Then the sparks played amazingly around the heads of the spectators, and hair stood up on end whilst shadows more grotesque than I can tell came out and squatted on the heads.
 
The masses plumb ever greater depths of existential fear, the Leaders present false images of these crises. The Leaders also fear and reassure themselves with fake democracy and redoubled war. So the masses need misdirection to reinforce the image direction of desert and shimmer.
 
And when I, who was colder and more scientific than the rest, mumbled a trembling protest about “imposture” and “static electricity”, Nyarlathotep drove us all out, down the dizzy stairs into the damp, hot, deserted midnight streets. I screamed aloud that I was not afraid; that I never could be afraid; and others screamed with me for solace. We swore to one another that the city was exactly the same, and still alive; and when the electric lights began to fade we cursed the company over and over again, and laughed at the queer faces we made.
 
“If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity they will go. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, with the sword they will be killed.”
 
I believe we felt something coming down from the greenish moon, for when we began to depend on its light we drifted into curious involuntary formations and seemed to know our destinations though we dared not think of them. Once we looked at the pavement and found the blocks loose and displaced by grass, with scarce a line of rusted metal to shew where the tramways had run. And again we saw a tram-car, lone, windowless, dilapidated, and almost on its side. When we gazed around the horizon, we could not find the third tower by the river, and noticed that the silhouette of the second tower was ragged at the top. Then we split up into narrow columns, each of which seemed drawn in a different direction. One disappeared in a narrow alley to the left, leaving only the echo of a shocking moan. Another filed down a weed-choked subway entrance, howling with a laughter that was mad. My own column was sucked toward the open country, and presently felt a chill which was not of the hot autumn; for as we stalked out on the dark moor, we beheld around us the hellish moon-glitter of evil snows. Trackless, inexplicable ashen snows, swept asunder in one direction only, where lay a gulf all the blacker for its glittering walls. The column seemed very thin indeed as it plodded dreamily into the gulf. I lingered behind, for the black rift in the green-litten snow was frightful, and I thought I had heard the reverberations of a disquieting wail as my companions vanished; but my power to linger was slight. As if beckoned by those who had gone before, I half floated between the titanic snowdrifts, quivering and afraid, into the sightless vortex of the unimaginable.
 
Screamingly sentient, dumbly delirious, only the gods that were can tell. A sickened, sensitive shadow writhing in hands that are not hands, and whirled blindly past ghastly midnights of rotting creation, corpses of dead worlds with sores that were cities, charnel winds that brush the projected stars and make them flicker low. Beyond the worlds vague ghosts of monstrous things like Dominion gods; half-seen columns of unsanctified temples that rest on nameless rocks beneath space and reach up to the dizzy vacuum above the spheres of light and darkness, the images everywhere but Earth. And through this revolting graveyard of the universe the muffled, maddening beating of drums, and thin, monotonous whine of blasphemous flutes from inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond Time; the detestable pounding and piping whereunto dance slowly, awkwardly, and absurdly the gigantic, tenebrous ultimate gods created by the psychotic berserking souls of orcs — the blind, voiceless, mindless gargoyles whose soul is Nyarlathotep.

The Worst of Times

>

 
 
These are the bad times, the worst humanity has undergone.
 
It’s becoming clear that one way or another these are the end times – for the physical basis of the economic civilization, for the human soul itself for as long as this civilization endures.
 
For long years I resisted, I was uncertain, though since childhood I’ve perceived the signs. Now I must burn all bridges.
 
Now it all becomes clear, the imagery of Revelation receives its real world confirmation. The smoke rises from the abyss: The smoke of the Covid miasma, fake but impenetrable to all but perceptive eyes and clear minds, the ultimate smokescreen of indoctrination and propaganda and lies and the sowing of fear-itself at its most virulent extremity.
 
The smoke of war, the burning of the cities, the burning of the life-sustaining forests, the smoke of the fires which truly shall kill a third and more than a third of humanity.
 
The smoke of incense, the smoke of the temple, the smoke of the wrath of God.
 
The mark of the beast is now to be physically inflicted in the most literal sense, and to bear this mark will be necessary in order to buy and sell in the most literal sense. To buy and sell, the core action of the economic civilization, the core ritual of the beast.
 
All this renders the position clear – Satan is in command of the manmade world.
 
Look around the modern economic civilization, look around the American Babylon, the American Sodom and Gomorrah. Who can deny it, we see nothing but devils and the signs of devils, everywhere.
 
Most of all the prophets condemn idolatry, and today we reach the most extreme terminal idolatry of the idols of metal, plastic, wire, rubber; the idols of vapor, smoke; the idols of money, securities, patents, synthesized genetics; capping it all the idol of a fictive miasma infecting and poisoning the very air.
 
The Covid cult is the ultimate refinement of the modern techno-cult taken to its most fundamentalist extreme. The ultimate refinement of the idolatry of discrete idols of plastic, the superstition of “artificial intelligence” and “smart technology”, a spirit cohering miraculously from the ones and zeroes, a demon in the machine summoned by the Satanic arts of the hominid engineers.
 
Civilization worships the abomination of desolation, and this abomination is all that exists at the desolation where the human soul is supposed to be.
 
Covid is their most cherished scion, their most beloved child. It was born in their bioweapons labs and sent out into the world as their great promise and threat and curse and destroyer. It is the ultimate fabrication of technocracy, the ultimate fabrication of globalism, the ultimate fabrication of their propaganda, the ultimate fabrication of the modern economic religion.
 
The plague itself, however objectively mild or allegedly severe, is the wage of sin, the wage of idolatry. It was concocted in their labs and released as a scourge upon the devil’s own body in order to increase power and control and dominion. The veil of fading, the veil of dullness, of darkness, of condemnation, and the needle which administers the mark of the beast, are of Satan’s plan to expand and extend his dominion. Those who rush to him embrace the devil’s dominion.
 
The only course to salvation is to renounce and reject everything commanded and threatened and promised and celebrated by the technocratic death machine. The only course to salvation is to repent, purge, endure.
 
Today we know war and the rumor of war. Christ is the prince of peace, but today is the time of war.
 
We wanted peacefully to live in the Spirit, all who have a soul wanted nothing but this, but those who are of the devil will not allow us, so we must gird for war.
 
We see the terminal evil of all political ideologies. They all finally have discarded their fake self-distinctions and heeded Covid’s trumpet call summoning them to the ranks of death. “Right”, “left”, these no longer exist if they ever did. The one and only identification is whether one identifies for the globalist technocracy or against it. Today this identification is at its most close, most intense, most symbolic, most religious, in the form of whether one identifies as a member of the Covid cult or opposes it.
 
Humanity itself, the West and all who ape it, has surrendered and abdicated once and for all. They’ve surrendered to the most evil persons in all of history – Gates, Schwab, Soros, Zuckerburg, Fauci, Ferguson, and the rest of the elite globalist technocrat cabal, along with all the seething vermin of politicians and propagandists and administrative bootlicks that serve this cabal and carry out its commands.
 
The plague – spiritual, physical – is smiting your cities. The answer isn’t to double down on the imitation of Sodom and Gomorrah the way you’re now doing. The answer is to get out – in spirit, in truth, in existential reality.

The Pivot of 2020

>

 
 
1. This is a full-blown war election where both combatants struggle to take the wheel of the machine while pledging to continue to perpetrate total war on the Earth; aggressive imperial war everywhere in the world limited only by nature and the will of those targeted to fight back; economic war everywhere in the world including and especially against the American people themselves; all this capped by the world-historical “War on Covid” global campaign to impose the most extreme civil war of the globalist-technocratic government against the people in every country; permanent total terror and lockdown while the Covid Death Cult already has surged to become history’s fastest-spreading global religion by many orders of magnitude.
 
2. The globalist “Great Reset” wants to overcome the diverse rising obstacles to globalism’s perpetuation, especially the intensifying centrifugal political and economic forces which oppose it or hinder it. The global elites see politics as such, and any mode of economy other than that which is strictly regimented and controlled from the pinnacle of civilization’s power by the US government, the oligopoly MNCs and a handful of globalization entities, as antiquated obstructions to its power and profit. From the point of view of the Earth and especially humanity it’s essential to obstruct the globalist-technocratic elite as much as possible.
 
So it follows that anything which sustains and multiplies the number of obstacles any globalist actor has to traverse is a good thing, while anything that streamlines, unifies, renders more “efficient” is bad. This includes US foreign policy. Although this policy will remain aggressively imperialist for as long as this government exists, it makes a significant difference how disciplined and superficially “kinder and gentler” the facade is, as opposed to how wayward, openly brutish and gratuitously insulting to everyone in the world. Real anti-globalists always have known this, and the need never has been more critical than now. From this point of view Trump is vastly preferable. The across-the-board hatred the elites hold for him is the best recommendation.
 
Trump’s election was a monkey-wrench in the works, and although the 1% was able to turn the lemons to lemonade by turning anti-Trumpism into an organizing principle among the bewildered masses, they certainly want to return to having a reliable, fully pliant figurehead in the White House. With Biden/Harris they’d get the best of both worlds – they get either the obedient Biden or the even more aggressively obedient Harris who would be all the more controllable since she has no political support of her own and was never elected in the first place.
 
So it follows that gratuitous US imperial belligerence is being “creatively destructive” of itself, to use one of capitalism’s own religious terms, in spite of the US empire’s own long-run goals and interests. The worst thing would be for US foreign policy to become less Kaiser and more Bismarck. The more chaos the better. It may seem more painful in the short run than running home to hide under adult mama’s skirts the way almost all former anti-imperialists, anti-globalists, “radicals”, “leftists” have done, since they all were frauds all along who can’t take the slightest pain or hardship and would rather die than do any movement-building work, but for the long run good of the Earth including humanity there’s no other option.
 
The faster and more totally this thing goes down the better for all but the globalist-technocratic 1% and their boot-lickers.
 
3. All of today’s main political threads express a war mentality and all institutional actions comprise a war program. Far greater than any at least since 1968 this is a wartime election. Here’s a few of the superficial implications:
 
Trump’s general fecklessness, his weather-vaning and fence-sitting on the imperial wars and the terror-lockdown assault which uses “Covid” as a pretext, his personal and administrative weakness, have added up to the perception that he’s a bad wartime president. This includes the seldom analyzed or questioned cliche “Trump mismanaged the pandemic”, which presumably means the commenter doesn’t like how Trump has used the bully pulpit since as president he has little other power. And yet by any rational measure state governors like Cuomo that claimed the real power mismanaged things far worse than Trump.
 
Meanwhile beyond suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome no one could support the Democrats except insofar as they have faith in international total war and the domestic Covid civil war, those that aren’t sick of these and want to escalate them. Of course no system partisan ever opposed Trump on account of his policy aspirations, which remain on the same globalist trajectory as his predecessors.
 
If the Democrats were to occupy the presidency, it seems there’s two equal and opposite possibilities for the terror-lockdown assault.
 
Most likely a Democrat administration bolstered by institutional support would perpetuate and escalate the lockdown war in accord with prior Democrat program.
 
But if in accord with election propaganda the lockdowns always were fundamentally partisan or have become so, especially to the extent the elites are self-aware of their scam, why would they want to saddle a Democrat administration with blame for harms of the lockdowns going forward as well as any deaths which should be attributed to other, normalized causes like the flu? In that case they may want to declare victory and end the war.
 
We see today in Europe the great “second wave”, not of Covid in itself (which from any rational perspective has been fading out as any rationally conceivable danger since late spring and continues to fade), but of the malevolent lockdowns themselves. We see the progress of the biggest Big Lie ever: First the lockdowns were supposed to be “temporary”, for “just a few weeks” in order to “flatten the curve”. Then they had to be imposed longer in order for the economy to “reopen” (which never really happened anywhere that imposed the lockdowns in the first place). Now it turns out the lockdowns failed in the first place, but for the system and its death cult this doesn’t debunk the entire paradigm of lockdowns as it would to any sane rational person. On the contrary it means civilization needs more and worse lockdowns.
 
By now no one but the most fanatical card-carrying, digital-paying, beast-marked cultist wingnuts can believe any of this. We’re through the looking glass, anyone who goes down the lockdown hole enters a police state labyrinth from which no escape or end is any longer even conceivable, where it’ll always be “all clear” tomorrow and all clear yesterday but never all clear today.
 
4. The “Covid” brain-washing is serving as the organizing principle for economic demolition. The escalation of the police state and propaganda boosting conformity to the new religion of death are supplements to this goal and the elites’ long-run goal of sustaining their power through the tribulations of resource depletion and ecological blowback and collapse.
 
The US government is leading what it intends to be the permanent controlled demolition of the world economy because the 1% knows its collapse, driven proximately by the collapse of the finance sector and its infinite pyramid of paper, is imminent. They hope Greer’s mechanistic theory of “catabolic collapse” is right, that Gaia will change phase in an orderly way to a lower level of energy intensity and turbulence, and that the globalist system can sustain itself at a lower level of production and consumption, a lower level of the capitalist round of “growth” followed by self-destruction and cannibalization in order to re-open space which then can serve as a renewed growth frontier, for the time being.
 
China is a mid-run threat to this. Its own global-imperial aspirations will seek to fill and exceed any temporary vacuum where “growth” still could be renewed within the space temporarily opened by this disaster capitalist demolition. Of course Western profiteering and growth ideology also will want to re-fill the space. In spite of attempts by the global cabal as represented at Davos by the likes of the National Security Council or Gates Foundation, metastatic economic cancer can’t be controlled, only redirected. But if the consumer base is liquidated, it won’t be possible to resume cancer growth via consumer spending.
 
This confirms the prior trend toward basing economic cancer on government contracts, especially things which can use up a lot of wealth and then be deliberately destroyed – military hardware and hot war, industrial agriculture (highly wasteful inherently, much of the crop/food is burned, let rot, wasted), logging at an economic loss and vastly greater ecological loss, for the sake of subsidized products no one will buy, anything which uses up public wealth for destruction and waste while the ever-shrinking circle of elites siphons off as much as they can for their personal and institutional iniquity. Shooting wars always are the most direct way.
 
These all converge on the propaganda campaign working to drum up war fever against China. Cold war is a given, and the US government is willing to provoke hot war if necessary. Russia is no threat in itself and no one in the US thinks it is, but Russophobia has served as an organizing principle for US imperialism abroad and building the civil war mentality at home. From the point of view of US imperialism the real target still is China.
 
Nuclear war is the logical end of all these threads. It would maximize the economic demolition and therefore is desirable from the point of view of many of the elites, although many also fear it as too chaotic and not controllable. Few fear for themselves physically: By now they’ve swallowed their own ideology of indispensability and necessity and faith in their institutional security to the point that most believe they’d be invulnerable to physical blast waves or radiation in direct proportion to how the mass death cult believes the air itself is now poisoned with a vague miasma called “Covid” (even while these same masses disregard actual particulate air pollution). And if all else fails the 1% believes in their bomb shelters.
 
5. The climate crisis as represented by the climate-industrial complex is misdirection away from any authentic, organic anti-cancerous degrowth ecological movement. The massive scam of continuing the ecocidal death march under the rubric of a “green economy”, “green capitalism”, “green” cancer aka “growth”, “Green New Deal”, is another potent way to gobble up and waste in real time the wealth which otherwise might try to construct unsustainable infrastructure which can’t so easily be vaporized.
 
The point everywhere is to produce nothing but vaporware going forward.
 
6. Anti-trumpism has served the globalist-technocrat 1% as an organizing principle but from their point of view now reaches its expiration date. The elites want to move on to consolidation. They want to give Democrats the mandate to consolidate the demolition and coordinate all economic and social existence within that framework. Trump occupying the White House is a monkey wrench in the works. The question of the day is, Can the rising populist/re-nationalist movement sustain Trump’s occupation or will it be quashed by the fake election? From the anti-global perspective it might be now or never for street insurrection, and for the longer run a renewed national movement against the globalist system’s own species of fascist warlords which in outline already has been discernable in the “Antifa”/BLM riots. The same dynamic must play out throughout the civil-warring West and anti-colonial South.
 
7. One thing certain is that no matter what happens on November 3rd there will be two hard core partisan factions which will insist their guy won, refuse to concede anything, dig in and entrench. From there it’ll be an extra-electoral civil war of propaganda, lawfare-waging and street-fighting to determine, force against force, what occupies the White House.
 
***
 
Meanwhile from the perspective of the Earth, the global South and what’s left of indigenous peoples everywhere these squabbles among the necropolitans mean nothing. The economic civilization and especially the US system comprise a monolith of wickedness and destruction. A caldera explosion to be endured until it burns itself out. From the perspective of Gaia there’s nothing to choose – the necropolis is inherently ecocidal. The city is omnicide incarnate.
 
The Earth will level their karma according to its own procedures, its own schedule. God sees the truth but waits, Gaia waits for her biological processes to play themselves out.
 
Earth cares nothing for the fever dreams of the swollen mass hominid brain. Just look at this most extraordinary event in human history, the instantaneous global surge of by far the biggest global religion ever, the Covid Death Cult which ardently believes in the extreme deadliness of a viral pandemic and fervently prays for this mass death to become real. Yet all this pressure-cooked mass fear and loathing and faith all exploding everywhere at once has done nothing to prevent Covid itself from being a bust. All this mass collective hive prayer has availed nothing to make a mountain out of this molehill.
 
And so it all shall be in the end for the vanities of this global Babylon.

Doomed Brinksmanship at the Final Brink

>

 
 
The economic civilization has gone so berserk that almost everyone, the masses as well as intellectuals and former dissidents, have become so frightened they’re renouncing all prior skepticism and cynicism, as well as all principles which went along with such skepticism, and are rushing to take pseudo-rational refuge in a superstitious faith in the basic rationality, goodness, honesty and wisdom of government, corporate, media institutions. This is a perfect communion with the totalitarian propaganda goals of these institutions, which in reality become ever more irrational, evil, dishonest and demented by the day. But the overwhelming superstition among masses and intellectuals is that if they only believe, have faith and obey, if they only regress further to infantilism (they now add face diapers to their regular diapers), their institutions will lead them through the great crisis unto a new morning for the city on a hill of skulls which then can continue its ecocidal-genocidal course. As a great prophet of the 20th century expressed it, they have been and will continue to be “free and wild and beyond good and evil, with laws and morals thrown aside and all men shouting and killing and reveling in joy. Then the liberated Old Ones would teach them new ways to shout and kill and revel and enjoy themselves, and all the earth would flame with a holocaust of ecstasy and freedom.”
 
Fossil fuels comprise these liberated Old Ones, and today the cult dreams of technologies that can transform the sun’s new light into these compressed, concentrated billions of years in real time. This is insane, but as we see civilization has literally nothing left but ever greater paroxysms of insanity. Ergo the insane reaction of trying desperately, not to be rational but to be insanely pseudo-rational.
 
Among the litany of evils behind the terror-lockdown assault which uses covid as a pretext, we have the Trump administration using covid to beat the anti-China war drums. (If Trump does lose the election, one reason why will be his constant flip-flopping on covid – one moment he’s rightly downplaying it, the next he’s one of the wingnuts calling it the worst thing ever and blaming China for unleashing this infinite scourge, along with trumpeting fake vaccine propaganda.) This is becoming yet another foreign policy boondoggle for the US, as its three partners in the U.S.-Australia-India-Japan Consultations Quad, an Asian quasi-NATO designed to “contain” China much like the original NATO was supposed to contain Russia, are becoming reluctant to obey US dictates to economically immolate themselves and edge closer to hot war by cutting off more and more of their trade with China, trade which is vital to their globalism-dependent economies. (The US also is having difficulty mustering the normally obedient Europeans to deploy NATO against China.)
 
The cultists, both the great majority that vegetatively obey across the board and join the anti-China hate as well as the dregs that continue to pose as some kind of “anti-imperialist” and that pretend to side with China even as they embrace the US-driven empire’s most extreme terror-lockdown assault, both cultist groupings now believe the mainstream media speaks as the voice of God as far as truth-telling, so they directly or implicitly embrace ever more intense provocations of China and Russia.
 
Yet they’re all cowards at heart (their tarn petrifaction in the dim headlights of a mild epidemic proves their extreme physical cowardice, and their abject submission and obedience to the government-media’s fascist propaganda and prescriptions proves their extreme moral cowardice), so it’s not surprising that they really tremble at the thought of the second cold war driven 100% by themselves and the empire they support turning into a hot war. Since in their berserk dementia their last psychological and spiritual refuge is to be insanely pseudo-rational, we’re seeing a resurgence of the early 20th century Norman Angell fad among the covid cult’s intellectual set. Angell’s faith doctrine was that the economies of the European powers were so interdependent, and their mutual profit depended so much on cooperation, that a general European war was impossible in the 20th century. As we see, this religious faith is even more essential today if one is to double down on globalization, the way the terror-lockdown assault using covid as a pretext is designed to do, and which doubling down especially motivates all the intellectual and ex/fake-dissident adherents of the cult, this dogma is needed if one is to seek this globalization goal while still believing maximal war can be permanently averted.
 
Yes, and since no such war ever happened in 1914, because it was rationally impossible, and the elites and masses are so rational, as we see especially in 2020, therefore it’s impossible that the US will send the missiles flying even in its last desperate ditch trying to prop up its power. And of course the US never would prefer total destruction to giving up with grace – that’s not how the US has a record of acting, is it? Just like the US empire’s bunker-hunkering predecessor Hitler decided not to try to drag everything down with him, but rather gave up with grace when he saw the war was lost. Isn’t that what Hitler did? Well, no. Nor will the US.
 
The governments and masses are insane, belligerent and mass-homicidal, ecocidal, genocidal, suicidal. There’s almost no chance of the economic civilization letting itself go down without resorting to nuclear war out of some deranged notion that such an extreme self-destructive action can bring a miracle. That, along with the retreat to the bunker, seems to be the most common mode of thought these days, as 2020 has spectacularly demonstrated.
 
As for the reluctance of Japan, India, Australia, and the increasing conflict with China and Russia driven by the US’s own provocations, including its unwillingness to give any ground or even “allow” the existence of an imperial peer (as much as that goes against the party line that the US elites are rational and truthful), I think of Revelation 17.15-18:
 
Then the angel said to me, “The waters you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages. The beast and the ten horns you saw will hate the prostitute. They will bring her to ruin and leave her naked; they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire. For God has put it into their hearts to accomplish his purpose by agreeing to hand over to the beast their royal authority, until God’s words are fulfilled. The woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth.”
 
They all handed the US Babylon authority following the second world war. Now the ten horns hate her and will join in rending and burning her. And she will burn them back.

 
Can this be prevented? Unless there’s a great acceleration of Gaia’s ecological blowback, her equal and opposite reaction to the civilization’s omnicidal attempt to destroy the Earth, it’s likely the civilization will destroy itself first in its insane thrashings. In that case the only alternative would be a cultural, spiritual, social and economic revolution global enough to encompass and destroy all the globalist, imperial impulses.
 
But who could even start working toward this goal, which has long seemed an impossible goal even under the best of conditions. Yet today, where almost all self-alleged “dissidents” and “radicals” and “revolutionaries” have thrown away all their fake poses and gone over to the empire, most of them now eagerly serving as volunteer unpaid junior deputy propagandist vermin, there’s no longer even a theoretical intellectual grounding for a transformational movement of that sort. As I’ve written several times in recent years, Politics is Dead. I hadn’t previously been 100% certain, I’d still wanted to cling to some residual faith in the human spirit as expressed through mass culture and politics. But the covid phenomenon has sealed the grave once and for all: There will be no revolution. It’s over.
 
All that’s left is for whatever is left of humanity, whatever fugitive fragments still remain, to come together and work together to endure the fascist coda of the globalized technocratic economic civilization. We know its necessary resources are nearly spent, we know its economic contradictions are no longer patchable, we know that civilization’s ecological basis can take little more insult before the ecological collapses suddenly burgeon and cascade into a great opposite reaction gone fully kinetic. We know this infinite evil cannot continue much longer.
 
The clock nears midnight. We can only watch, and endure. Hopefully together, as a unified cooperative lodge, carrying the last flicker of the torch of the human spirit through the gales of darkness that now engulf us. It’s temporary, however long it may seem to we who live now.

We Must Love One Another or Die

>

 
 
Motto from W H Auden, “September 1, 1939”
 
Love is not possible through a barrier emblazoned with the words, “I fear your existence”, emitted across a physical space symbolic of this existential fear.
 
We now are at the time of the most extreme Othering, the most extreme xenophobia of all against all, the most extreme bigotry, toward the most extreme war of all against all.
 
Why has almost everyone joined this cult? What is so attractive about it? Why, on the spur of the moment, for no good reason, spurred only by the propaganda of the TV news which so many of you claimed previously not to believe, have you so unquestioningly and abjectly submitted?
 
Why are you casting away all the principles you claimed to hold, why are you casting away all that humanity has known of social and cultural existence?
 
Why do you want so perversely and vainly and self-destructively to go directly against millions of years of human evolution and billions of years of microbial evolution?
 
Why do you want this permanent fascist deformation, no matter how directly destructive of human physical and mental health, community life, cultural life, the social and econo,mic position of yourself and everyone you claim to care about?
 
You say you don’t mean it to be permanent? And just when will you take off your face diaper and return to your previous life? When the TV says you’re allowed? According to the impresarios of the global assault that day will never come.
 
And even if it did and you obeyed, that still would mean your state of the most irresponsible, abdicated, anti-political, anti-social, cowardly, abject, submissive obedience to the government and media is now permanent.
 
And you didn’t even need to be directly terrorized by any police state in order to instill and enforce this obedience, the way that was necessary for Stalin’s regime. All you needed was a shoddy scare campaign over a mild epidemic. Which proves that covid was nothing but a catalyst which mobilized underlying mass-existential fear-itself over the near universal personal economic precarity and the universal ecological precarity of the economic civilization itself. Covid mobilized these immense vague fears toward this explosive reaction of desperate superstition and propitiatory rites which, it is hoped, if enough people participate, can somehow cause the real existential specter to pass over the house. The face diapers and hex distancing are the equivalent of lamb’s blood smeared over the door – pointless from any rational point of view, all-important from the point of view of the cult.
 
None of this can work. The only thing which can avert the worst of general economic liquidation and ecologically drive collapse is truly to repent of the evil ways of the civilization and completely change the way we live, away from worthless material junk, away from “production” and “growth”, away from “money” and “jobs”, away from everything which is destroying the Earth and murdering the human soul, toward a renewed mutual human community, friendship, caring, and toward the return to the Earth which Gaia shall insist upon anyway, whether we go willingly or she has to drag our battered frame while we scream.
 
Meanwhile the conceit that any of the policies of our stupid, incompetent, corrupt, wicked institutions can do anything to control a virus which has been at large in the global environment for at least a year and perhaps much longer is nothing but Dominionist-technocratic delusion. Gaia will out. The virus will complete its natural cycle regardless of anything the institutions and media do and say. The lockdowns have accomplished nothing but to drag out the inevitable while adding a long list of ancillary, purely gratuitous evils.
 
If we are to do any of what we need in time, if we are to do any of what anyone still human would want, the first thing is to stop digging this latest, deepest, most extremely fastest-dug pit of mutual anti-human fear and loathing. We must all drop the masks, approach one another and say “I’m sorry, I went crazy for a moment there”, and embrace one another.
 
We must love one another or die.

Needful Covid Lessons

>

 
 
This goes with Artificial Origin and Covid in Globalist Context as part of a series explaining the philosophical and moral basis for rejecting the legitimacy of the governments of an evil, self-destructive civilization when it claims authority as a moral legislator for a so-called “pandemic” it deliberately artificially inflicted upon itself, in direct disregard of all our warnings for all these years.
 
All I’ve said about Covid boils down to this – however mild or severe, it is a 100% purely self-inflicted event on the part of the ecodical economic civilization. The terror-lockdown response has had zero public health motivation – we already know these governments care nothing for public health. All their ecocidal, poisonist policies, the way they arrange their health care systems, the deliberate systematic physical and mental health precarity they generate – all this proves the fact that whatever the motivations of governments and media in propagating the pandemic scare, whatever the motivations of governments and media in imposing lockdown measures, whatever the motivations of government and media in imposing social control rituals like the anti-science superstitions of masking and anti-social distancing, these motivations are purely malign.
 
The effects of the terror-lockdown campaign, including any economic disruption up to and including collapse, is a blow purely self-inflicted by a civilization at war with its own biological basis. This includes waging war on its own people. The pest arose either from a US bioweapon experiment or attack, or from the elements of globalization: Deforestation, global heating and climate chaos, factory agriculture, industrial mining, cramming masses into slums and shantytowns, the demolition of all public health systems and access to decent health care except for the rich. The system is deploying every kind of misdirection and scapegoating to cover up its complete culpability while seeking malign goals of covering up the ongoing collapse of every element of the economy except for Fed-inflated stock prices and other fake numbers; launch a new escalation of corporate bailouts and Wall Street plunder; intensify social control; escalate the police state; beat the anti-China war drums; carry out a mass euthanasia campaign among the sick and elderly; intensify the crisis of human alienation. The system wants to push these all as much as is politically or physically possible.
 
Unequivocally the virus has its source in the wickedness of the civilization, in globalization, imperialism, militarism, Mammon; and the response to it has been the most extreme manifestation of this wickedness.
 
This is globalization’s plague, globalization’s child, globalization’s affinity, globalization’s assault. And with the terror-lockdown campaign globalization wants to protect and maximize it all. Covid-19 coupled with the totalitarian assault and global religion stemming from it together comprise this civilization’s most typical and quintessential product, its crowning achievement.
 
We who oppose this, we who have opposed it all for so long (I’ve been doing this blog for eleven and a half years now, and studying for the fight for years before that, we who already have suffered so much and now again are made blameless victims of the crimes and insanities of this global Babylon, we have no truck with all this, we owe its perpetrators nothing, we are free as a bird.
 
Meanwhile all their pretensions are so much vanity. Earth guarantees with certitude that whatever this virus is going to do, it’s going to do. SARS-COV-2 shall complete its cycle regardless, and there’s nothing their stupid worthless ecocidal civilization can do about it. Since they generated this epidemic, however mild or severe it belongs to them, and how do they think you can recall your bullet with the same gun that fired it?
 
Perhaps the most obnoxious element of the entire top-down terror-lockdown assault and bottom-up (albeit heavily astroturfed) mass insanity is the arrogance of it all, the presumption, the sinful pride.
 
(This has an analogue in the presumption of the climate-industrial movement that “green” ecocide somehow isn’t ecocide and can solve the civilization-driven climate crisis and general ecological collapse.)
 
When we contemplate the many berserker vandalisms and demolitions perpetrated by these governments and corporate demons, indoctrinated by these schools, propagandized by these media, supported by these decadent masses, the full lunacy and moral disreputation of any institution or average necropolitan denizen to say a word about their crowning Corona becomes fully evident.
 
A civilization that ruthlessly and relentlessly digs up and unleashes hundreds of millions of years of sunk carbon in order to scorch the Earth can remain silent on Covid. It has nothing to say to us.
 
A civilization that ruthlessly massacres trillions of trees toward the goal of turning forests to deserts can remain silent on Covid. It has nothing to say to us.
 
A civilization that ruthlessly drives the mass extinctions of mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians, fish, insects, can remain silent on Covid. It has nothing to say to us.
 
A civilization that ruthlessly slathers the earth, water, air with every kind of industrial poison and which poisons its own food and water and the general environment with pesticides and GMOs, these poisons being the real purpose of its agriculture, can remain silent on Covid. It has nothing to say to us.
 
A civilization whose own mainstream “environmental” groups and climate-industrial movement can envision no way to respond to these calamities than to double down on every technocratic evil up to and including advocacy for geoengineering can remain silent on Covid. It has nothing to say to us.
 
The basic guiding principles for understanding the entire Covid event are:
 
1. The origin of the epidemic lies in globalization, imperialism, militarism. The economic civilization’s weaponized use of the idea of a lethal pandemic (the idea, since no such thing exists yet in reality) is in the service of these evils.
 
2. Only the most extreme Dominion theology and technocratic ideology believe that once this virus is at large in the environment, as it has been at least since last autumn, that artificial government-applied measures can prevent it from completing its natural cycle toward its end in herd immunity. But then the real purposes of lockdown and social control measures aren’t really to prevent this end, but to use the opportunity toward the most malign economic, political, biological goals. This is history’s most extreme exercise in disaster capitalism.
 
As for anyone who really would want to try to contain a globally free-ranging epidemic, we know from every other ecological context that the only thing which works is natural balance through maximal biodiversity, while forcible violent attempts at segregation and sterilization, such as are characteristic of industrial agriculture and of these lockdown measures, always fail.
 
3. Everything that’s been done has been the radical opposite of what should have been done from the perspective of any sane, rational, well-meaning public health goal. Institutions where the vulnerable people (elderly and already ill) are concentrated should have been protected while everyone else went about normal life. Instead normal life was devastated, subject to the most extreme and intrusive terrorist propaganda and police state measures, subject to the psychological pandemic of constant extreme uncertainty, while the one thing which was not done was to protect the institutionalized vulnerable. This was no accident either. Although we’ll likely never know how many bona fide Covid deaths there were, only that the real number is vastly less than the manipulated official number, we do know that the vast majority of these deaths were government-perpetrated murders, the result of a systematic euthanasia campaign.
 
These are principles of Gaian social practice and politics for a pandemic era. Although Covid-19 is not a big one, it is a shot across the bow. Worse will come so long as the economic civilization continues on its self-driven quest to be the destroyer of the Earth. The time to learn that everything governments have done regarding Covid are wrong and upside down is now.

Covid in Globalist Context

>

 
 
Covid-19 and the terror-lockdown offensive which uses it as a pretext comprise a purely globalist project, and those who perpetrate or support globalization are responsible for this epidemic, however severe or mild it is. They own complete responsibility. We who oppose globalization, militarism, imperialism have no responsibility here but to do our own research and speak truth (i.e., normal citizen responsibilities in any democracy worthy of the name), and beyond that whatever we deem necessary to protect and defend ourselves, our loved ones, and our cherished principles and values insofar as these come under assault by either a pathogen or a cult using a pathogen as a pretext. Either of these is a malign affliction, and a mask-face is just another kind of virus.
 
This is a key part of the necessary Gaian position and the politics that logically follow from it.
 
In the same way, once an infectious microbe is on the loose in the environment, however dangerous or not, it will complete its natural cycle regardless of piddling attempts by governments to constrain it, however violent and forcible these attempts at segregation and sterilization are. This is the Dominionist-technocratic delusion that man can control and dominate nature. The terror-lockdown offensive using Covid as a pretext is history’s most extreme manifestation of this religious impulse. Its real violence and constraints are aimed at people, and social control is a core goal of the offensive. Meanwhile the disease itself will complete its cycle unto the attainment of herd immunity. Lockdowns can only delay the inevitable while adding a long list of ancillary evils along the way. These evils are the real purpose of the program.
 
So beyond the proven malevolence of governments, their claimed aspiration to want to use lockdowns and anti-social rituals to prevent SARS-COV-2 from completing its natural process is physically impossible anyway.
 
And then, those of us familiar with the principles of ecology and agroecology know that the most effective way to deal with a pest is through natural balance attained with maximal biodiversity, while attempts to eradicate the problem by exterminating all life in sight with poisons are doomed to fail. The attempt to use government force to stop the natural spread of a virus already widely at large in the environment is an extreme example of such doomed folly.
 
Let’s review what they’ve done and why they’re doing it.
 
The global necropolis plumbs the depths of Earth and rips Gaia apart. This includes gain-of-function bioweapon research in a lab. Like the mythical Satan, GE labs can’t create but only distort toward evil. They distort to generate weapons for their wars. Their militaristic wars, agricultural wars, ecocidal wars, social wars.
 
All this has culminated in the Covid terror-lockdown offensive, which the globalism cabal led by the US government has embarked upon toward the goals: Misdirect attention from economic collapse; perform a controlled demolition of the economy to avert a 2008-type chaotic collapse; set up a new escalated round of asset plunder; experiment with fascist top-down social control and bottom-up pressure for conformity; escalate the police state; suppress rising protest and populist movements; beat the anti-China war drums; perpetrate a Nazi-style mass euthanasia campaign against the aged and ill; radically escalate anti-human alienation and disintegration of all human community, all potential for human solidarity.
 
Those who perpetrate globalization, militarism, deforestation and industrial agriculture, genetic engineering and bioweapons research; every assault on the Earth and humanity, all who perpetrate or support these have consented, have volunteered for Covid-19 and far worse. They are responsible. They must repent before it is too late.
 
We few who always opposed all this (ironically, the vast majority of those who claimed to oppose these have chosen now of all times, have chosen the occasion of the Covid terror campaign to revert to system conformity and become system propagandists; never has a formerly dissident faction chosen so perversely to buy in to a fraudulent stock at the extreme peak of the market like this); we who continue to oppose all these never consented, never volunteered, and we have no responsibility on any level toward those who brought this epidemic, however severe or mild, upon themselves and us.
 
(I add: Those who perpetrate or support any kind of corporate-globalist assault on public health – industrial and agricultural poisons, mass habitat destruction, ecocide against the biological basis of our existence, support for profit-based health care systems, all neoliberal paradigms which drive stress, mental illness, malnutrition and hunger – has zero standing to say a word about the alleged danger of Covid-19, what allegedly needs to be done about it, the cult rituals such as superstition trinkets and hex distancing to which individuals allegedly need to conform, all allegedly for the sake of public health. Governments, corporations, media, those who support these, have long since proven they care nothing for the public health. Don’t let them claim now that they care. They do not.)
 
Where did SARS-COV-2, like any other bug, come from? The economic civilization dug for it, hacked for it, engineered it, relentlessly sought it out.
 
Therefore the economic civilization, its scientific-technocratic priesthood, did all it could, in the field and in the lab, to turn this bug into a terror idol. How lethal Covid-19 really is, how well it works, is secondary to the idea of a viral pandemic. It’s the same as any other war technology like pesticides or GMOs, which also don’t work toward anything but power goals.
 
This laboratory work, whether for weaponry or propaganda or both, is evil in intent and has no constructive purpose. The technocrats and engineers claim the work is toward public health goals, but they themselves are the biggest threat to health. This is the argument of a protection racket. And then there’s plenty of incompetence and negligence in labs.
 
So the lab release could have been deliberate or “accidental”, which really means collateral. Either way they intended the worst effects they could attain, whether this be physical mass murder or the pretext for a mass terror-lockdown campaign designed to terrorize billions, euthanize millions and guaranteed to murder millions more collateral victims of the lockdown itself.
 
Premeditation is proven by how the terror-lockdown offensive has closely followed the playbook drawn up at the Gates Foundation’s “Event 201” pandemic war games in autumn 2019.
 
All this proves the lockdowns have comprised a premeditated, malign plan toward stepping up economic plunder and the police state, and all the ecological, economic, social, cultural, spiritual evils listed above plus many more.
 
 
Did SARS-COV-2 come from the bowels of the military-engineering-industrial complex, or did ecocidal globalization roust it from the remotes, bring it back to civilized society and disseminate it far and wide? Either way it is perfectly designed/evolved, not just to infiltrate human cells with whatever severe or mild or nonexistent effect, but far more virulently to plug into the psychological and cultural structure of economic civilization in its late stage of collective suicide. The Covid Death Cult is the outward expression of this mass Thanatosis, this mass death wish.
 
From here we analyze the disease and the patient. The disease is not Covid-19, a relatively mild physical epidemic, but rather the cultural-spiritual Covid mass insanity. The Covid Death Cult is the disease, compulsive self-masking and anti-social spacing its main outward symptoms.
 
The patient, already staggering under a welter of socioeconomic and ecological morbidities, is the economic civilization itself.

For Arbor Day: The Tree-Carbon War

>

 
 
In honor of Arbor Day we reprise this piece from October, describing just part of the great ecological role of trees, the largest and most complex life forms which remain physically connected to the core pulse of Gaia, through the mycorrhizal network. The trees will do their best for all of Gaia, including humanity, if civilization would stop destroying them. In honor of trees.
 
 
The natural forest is the most capacious terrestrial carbon sink, and therefore the most important land-based element which must be conserved complete. (See below for the necessary three points of climate action.*)
 
Trees grab vast amounts of carbon from the air. Through photosynthesis all plants remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and incarnate it as biomass. When plants die under natural conditions much of their embodied carbon is assumed by the forest soil, wetland muck, grassland sod.
 
Although some of the carbon embodied in a naturally decomposing tree is released again to the air as carbon dioxide, most is stored in the soil. The microbes and the rain work it deeper where it becomes organic humus, inert in the soil. Given the right conditions it eventually will be concentrated into coal. Fallen trees submerged under wetlands eventually turn to peat, storing nearly all their carbon.
 
The older the tree, the faster it grows. The bigger its biomass, the more rapidly it accrues more biomass. The older the tree, the more carbon it continues to remove from the atmosphere.
 
All this assumes an intact natural forest keeping the soil cool, with the trees living out their full natural life cycles.
 
 
This process of carbon removal and storage is necessary in order to maintain life on Earth. The sun’s luminosity has increased c. 30% since life began on Earth. This increased brightness over time is part of the normal life cycle of stars like Earth’s sun. Over this time span the Earth ought to have heated up dramatically.
 
Yet the geological and fossil record confirms that Earth temperatures have stayed relatively stable over three billion years. Indeed in recent geological time there’s even been a cooling trend.
 
This is prime evidence for the Gaia thesis, that the biosphere as a great collective organism regulates Earth’s temperature, among many other things where a stable value is necessary for life. Gaia has counteracted the increasing brightness of the sun. Her main mechanism has been the removal of carbon from the atmosphere and its storage in rock, in soil, and in biomass. The main mid-term mode of removal is the extraction and storage of carbon by plants, especially trees. Thus the atmospheric carbon concentration is now one ninth of what it was during the Carboniferous Period.
 
 
In the modern time this process forcibly was halted. Modern civilization embarked upon a campaign of total destruction of all natural forests and wetlands and their replacement by tree plantations where the trees are crops harvested for lumber and burned for electricity and heat.
 
This destruction causes a great hemorrhage of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. When wood is burned it directly releases its embodied carbon. Wherever the natural forest is destroyed this exposes the soil to the sun, which heats it and accelerates its microbial decomposition. The microbes now consume even the deeper humus, and all the sunk carbon is released. So burning wood is a double emission of carbon dioxide. The hemorrhage is even worse where a combined forest-wetland system is destroyed.
 
Thus the whole “carbon neutral” notion surrounding logging and “biomass” burning, beloved alike of both industry and the mainstream climate movement, is a scam greenwashing a monumental crime against the Earth including humanity. All attempts to justify industrial logging and destruction of forests are based on fraudulent accounting. This includes lies about the alleged superior vigor of fast-growing young trees (60-120 years old, the age range where most plantation trees are logged) in seizing carbon. This lie is standard dogma in corporate forestry. But as we said above, the science has found that the older the tree is, the greater the rate at which it’s incarnating carbon.
 
All these scams are not only refuted in detail, but the entire framework ideology is overridden by the fact that the great necessity is to sink carbon and keep it sunk. This imperative self-evidently is incompatible with the continuation of industrial logging and the destruction of natural forests and wetlands.
 
From this we can conclude that not only industry but any element of the climate-industrial movement which is willing to support any continued deforestation and any continued commodity exploitation of trees is a complete fraud and criminal where they claim to be acting to mitigate the climate crisis.
 
The fact that even its own mainstream environmental movement is ecocidal is just one piece of proof that modern civilization is intrinsically ecocidal. What does all this frantic destruction mean in this case, and in the context of the broader case of the wholesale burning of fossil fuels? The orcs are determined to release all the stored carbon. They want to restore Carboniferous conditions, which coupled with the much brighter sun would turn Earth’s greenhouse into a universal crematorium.
 
 
This frenzied berserker action seeks maximum entropy in the same way any waste heat does. Heat seeks to dissipate to maximum equilibrium, where the physical end state is the heat death of the universe. Only the storage of potential energy, such as the storage Gaia’s trees perform with carbon, conserves heat and therefore conserves the conditions necessary for life, which requires the recycling of heat.
 
We see that Homo necropolis, civilized hominids, in their derangement to release all the stored heat, are seeking universal death.
 
 
They systematically pump the air as full of greenhouse gases as they can, as fast as they can, with the goal of heating up the Earth as much as possible as fast as possible, generating as much climate chaos and ecological destruction as possible. Modern civilization has complete consensus on this campaign. (The fake climate movement’s purpose is nothing but to tout various scams, each of which boils down to the promise that the ecocidal binge can continue, that you can destroy the Earth and live on it too.)
 
The individual orcs and their institutional ideologies invent surface reasons why they’re doing it. Consciously the berserker civilization thinks only in terms of Mammon. Underlying this is their real idea: Earth is in the midst of the Ice Age. Civilization owes its existence to a brief interglacial interlude which it has christened the Holocene. But when civilization discovered it could release the stored carbon by burning all the fossil fuels and destroying all ecological carbon-storage function, it conceived the insane vision of reversing the course of climatic evolution, rolling back the Ice Age and restoring Paleozoic temperature conditions. This is the goal of civilization’s global binge of total ecocide.
 
But maximum entropy is maximum death. At the deepest level they know their nightmare-dream is impossible. Hominids are fragile creatures, and their civilization hopelessly so. Biophobia really is rooted in the human hatred of origins, which forcibly imply a forcible history which cannot be rolled back but must be traversed unto forcible death. That’s why humans hate the bacteria which created, sculpted, form and dominate them to this day. That’s why they hate the trees which were their proximate cradle. That’s why from the moment they came down from the trees, humans so often have chosen not to evolve according to nature but to break the vessels, sunder themselves, and go to war against their own homeland. It’s a war against the very idea of this origin, and a Numenorean resentment of the fact of death: The death of individual, species, and most of all the death of their vain idol, civilization. For this reason, since they must die, they hate all life and want universal death.
 
At the opposite extreme, the trees, cradle of humanity itself, remain tightly synched with the primal bacterial and fungal networks of Gaia. Although in one sense complex beings, the trees at the same time are among the most primal, part of the very pulse of Gaia.
 
 
So it’s the most primal beings against the most sundered, most alienated, most self-loathing and therefore omnicidal. So it’s life versus death in a war to store or spew carbon and therefore to control or debouch heat. The trees feel driven to conserve the heat. They want to save everyone, including us.
 
And that’s why the orcs always have hated the forest, always wanted to hack it down, and why even today’s climate movement prefers plantations to forest. But plantations hemorrhage, they don’t conserve. Thus all orcs want to replace the forest with the plantation, in mockery as well as expectation of suicidal victory.
 
 
 
 
*There is one and only one set of three actions which can avert the worst of the climate crisis, if done in time. If not, and civilization certainly will not do them, then Earth’s kinesis will do its worst as it imposes all three by force. These three actions are:
 
End all industrial emissions; stop destroying carbon sinks; allow all natural sinks to resume their natural ranges.
 
Anything else is a lie.

Today on Earth Day, today more than ever, today as almost all among the “civilized” have gone clinically insane in response to a government- and media-driven campaign of mass psychological terrorism, today as almost all people have reacted with extreme fear and loathing toward themselves, toward their fellow human beings, toward the Earth itself, today more than ever it is needful to recall the Earth, remember what we are and where we came from, and commune again outdoors where we belong, with others the way we belong.
 
Spring is blooming, and so far the mass is rejecting it. They’re abdicating such beauty and warmth. They’re abdicating life itself.
 
The Earth is home. For all our human purposes the Earth is the universe. The Earth is our entire home, and our only home. All social ideas are grounded in this truth. All traditional religions agree upon this as well. Attempts to find the heavens in the “up there” are misreadings. The Bible is unequivocal: The New Jerusalem is supposed to descend to this physical Earth, and heaven is nowhere but upon this Earth. The same is true from every secular point of view. The Earth is where Homo sapiens evolved; humanity evolved in tandem with and as an inextricable part of the Earth; in terms of energy, physiology, and psychology it would be impossible to forsake the Earth even if humanity wanted to (but humanity does not want this; only a handful of subhuman psychopaths claim to want this) ; the Earth is our one and only home.
 
Among all religions only scientism consistently despises its home and provider the Earth. Thus, in addition to its many other evils and idiocies, scientism constitutes the most extreme and despicable ingratitude. All human beings agree this is the worst of sins and the most ominous of traits.
 
For the great majority of us home is a particular foodshed. Only a handful of people are born travelers. The vast majority of migrants are those cast adrift by corporate-driven economic coercion, or by the spiritual and cultural homelessness generated by the technocratic civilization. Part of the great and necessary ecological transformation is our return home to the Earth in the most spiritual and practical sense of learning again to be part of our foodsheds. In the end communing with the Earth through our mode of food is the most direct form of our spiritual communion with the Earth and with ourselves as a whole. Only through the Earth can we become human again.
 
It’s a measure of the decadence of the alienated civilization that Earth Day is cordoned off as a discrete holiday. As if we all don’t live at the complete sufferance of the Earth every moment of our lives. As if all the grand towers and fortresses and mausoleums of our civilization, and all our technological self-deification, don’t exist at every moment in an ICU, hooked up and dependent upon every machine while we simultaneously do all we can to pull all the plugs.
 
This self-driven campaign, too, is part of the Earth’s kinesis.
 
The Earth is a fount of great abundance.
 
Human ingenuity can render this fount even more abundant. Agroecology is the supreme example, the greatest human accomplishment. Nature’s bounty augmented by human thought and labor provide all that humanity needs and all it can sanely want.
 
The only problem, ever, is human insanity, human depravity which convinces itself it wants more than the abundant Earth ecologically offers. This has always been the source of almost all human evil and destructiveness. This insanity is pure nihilism, pure loathing of the womb and of oneself.
 
Temporarily aided by the one-off fossil fuel binge, this anti-human loathing of humanity and the Earth has been able to ramify itself in the form of the corporate-technocratic extreme energy civilization. As if their insanity and evil weren’t enough, they even whine that not everyone shows sufficient “gratitude”.
 
On the contrary, it’s these traitors against Gaia and humanity who incarnate the blackest ingratitude, the most capital treason, against all that this wonderful, beautiful, magical Earth has offered us. If only all people had been willing to live in peace, we all could know peace and happiness.
 
Ecological history will prevail, and Gaia shall impose the correction she always does in the end. Humanity can participate by building the living ecological movement dedicated to all possible action against the economic civilization, to help Gaia take it down.
 
We can best live our thanks to Earth by propagating the necessary new ideas and building this movement. This is the great focus of human life for the next two centuries.
 
On this day of thanksgiving we can thank abundant Earth and consecrate our lives to our gratitude. Earth is the basis of life itself. Only those who choose to march with death deny this.
 
There’s nothing left but to reclaim the land, build the soil, and fight for life. This is the only positive action left in the terminus of the extreme energy civilization where Politics is Dead.
 
This action is the expression of thanks, today and every day. This is the way to make every day a thanksgiving, and to prepare a world where humanity finally shall live its great gratitude in faith, every day, in all the peace, prosperity and happiness Earth’s abundance can provide. That’s why I write, in prospective thankfulness for this coming movement and this coming ecological peace.
 
Western myth begins with the image of a woman with child in the heavens, the Greek wisdom Sophia, fertility and wisdom. We find the great wisdom at the roots of creation. Her child and the Earth come into being simultaneously along with various notions of an evil dragon. This monster often has been mistaken as Sophia’s misguided creation. This depicts the primordial vision of dialectical conflict unto creation.
 
Human history is the story of the preparation of the Earth for humanity and humanity for the Earth. Before this preparation is complete the Earth must undergo its time of tribulation, first the ravages of the kamikaze campaign of extreme energy consumption, then the unfathomable volatility and turbulence of this era’s collapse and self-immolation, as all the pent up potential, all the physical and spiritual heat and poison this kamikaze civilization has emitted, reaches Kinesis.
 
The time has reached such an extremity of alienation and confusion that few on Earth can read the signs in history and nature, and so humans have conjured religions to interpret the signs. Few have the vision to recover the lost wisdom of the woman who had to flee into the wilderness. But this wilderness is nothing but the fertile Earth, tending itself and waiting for humanity to end our destructive self-exile and come home to our creative work.
 
The visions of Sophia spangle the heavens with the sun and moon and stars. We project these from Earth. As the final star descends, the morning star, its light shall gather all other cosmic lights in itself and glorify them as they continue to shine upon Earth.
 
Light and sight finally shall be liberated here, as we finally understand the mysteries. The new Gaian communion shall prove with light that the only night was in the benighted minds of men. In the new garden there no longer shall be the day vs. night of the mind. The sun and moon and stars shall shine on Earth as before. This shall be the final end of all artificial hate, greed, lusting for power and control, spiritual homelessness. All that’s ecological shall continue the cycle, now fully in harmony, transcending all distinction of natural and artificial, purging all that is anti-ecological and living as one amid the Earth’s now exalted ecology.
 
Thus the trial of perdition, the final judgement of the fossil-fueled technocratic derangement (veritably a malign ghost, a resurrected fossil of evil, a summoned demon), shall be complete, the mystery shall be solved, and from there all which is, was, and is to become, shall become, and shall be, and shall become forever more. The tree of life cycles forever through the twelve seasons, bearing its twelve fruits, and all human stewardship of Earth shall fruit in harmony. The water of life is a river which flows forever. As Greek wisdom has it no one may step twice into the same stream and yet it remains always the same stream.
 
The great vision comes of the air at break of new day, and all creation sings its new song for the new garden. There still must come tribulation from the air. The air of the day must gather and pressurize the power of the heated winds, heated by the oily bonfires of Babylon. When they shall be loosed, as the fossilized technocratic empire loses control, the Kinesis will rage while the vision of the temples and arks range the sky forecasting the flesh and blood of the new garden which shall sprout. This is the word from air to earth and sea. But there is a tiding of the thunders which shall remain untranslated until the final germination of the garden, whence this too shall resolve to a rainbow.
 
Fire is the great inspiration, fire is the great symbol of tribulation raging as wildfire across the visions, fire is the destructive force Babylon’s bonfires unleash to scourge the world as the empire loses control. Fire shall consume Babylon itself. Fire is the symbol of the ultimate sundering of those who refuse the last call to come home. But as the new garden will flower upon this Earth, so all of hell has been on this Earth and shall continue in the voids within the self-damned. Thus the ultimate fire has been in the minds of men, their raging violence, and so the future lake of fire shall be the soggy ashes in the dead souls of those who refused.
 
The creative fire is the newly transformed light of the new garden. Earth has been cradle and romping ground and home for mind, and now shall resume as home for the soul.
 
The river of life leads the song now sung by all the creatures of creation. The river shall flow forever through the new garden, and throughout the new heaven and Earth. The ocean, primal residue on Earth of the primordial waters before life itself, shall be resumed into these waters. The river still flows on Earth, still flows to the seas that girdle the Earth. All soon shall be cleansed and purified to become as holy water, suffusing Earth as rain and river and sea. These shall bless our crops forever bounteous, shall redeem and restore the ecology of Earth, Garden of Eden, Gaia.
 
But first the age must undergo a great tribulation of water. Babylon sprawls upon many waters and its crimes and poisons surge forth. It shall be destroyed by literal and spiritual tsunami. Humanity must rise up to abolish the poisons and poisoners. The great ecological preparation requires this affirmative act of agency, and Earth shall not forgive the passive.
 
And so humanity and Earth meld, as artist and material, material and artist, to establish the new heaven and new Earth on this very soil. This is the consummation of creation, its transformation. This is the revolution and restoration and renaissance. Humanity and Earth plant the tree of life in this very soil, and secure the trellis of the new garden upon this very rock, the rock of Earth beloved unto all time by all human gods, and our home of humanity unto all time.
 
The only gods are the gods of the Earth. And let it be blasphemy and the mark of evil to say this sacred rock is not home, and that “we”, meaning a handful of mean and stupid boot-lickers and slave-drivers, still seek a new home somewhere beyond this earth.
 
Humanity has a mission throughout this trial. We must work to prepare the Earth and to start planting our new garden. This is our part in the transformation of creation. We must liberate the Earth, for this is preparation and transformation. We who are called to this mission must work and endure in harmony Earth’s power and the human will transmuted to Gaia’s will which shall bring us through to victory.
 
Paradise is of this Earth. It now shall be established in the flesh and stone and spirit of the true community, the Ecotrinity of Gaia and Humanity and Earth. We will finally know how to use mind and soul in harmony to work amid Gaia’s ecology in harmony. The greatest sin was to embrace the primal sundering, the alienation, the exile. This is what Jesus called the sin against the Holy Spirit. This is the sin that cannot be forgiven because only a willfully sundered soul, in all its deluded depravity, can forbid itself to repent, forgive itself and come home. These who willingly bear the mark of the beast refuse to do so, and so cannot return, and must try to prevent all return by force. This is their main political, economic, ideological, and anti-ecological campaign today.
 
Paradise is of this earth. The Ecotrinity, and the ecological state of mind and soul which accompanies it, is the great and rising idea and spirit at this climax and tribulation of the modern fossil-fueled, corporate demon-ridden, propaganda-exhorted derangement. The false idea of “man vs. nature” is dead and dying, and the false “dominionist” religion, in both its traditional and secular forms, dies with it.
 
The tree of life shall extend its redemptive roots throughout the soil of the newly conceived Earth. Its twelve seasons of fruit shall symbolize the great prosperity of humanity and Earth in the new day. The waters of the river of life shall suffuse all the springs and rains and flows and deep blue seas of the new Earth. Our children and crops and all the plants and animals shall drink of these holy waters.
 
According to Christian scripture the new garden shall not contain a temple, for all Earth shall be a temple. And finally we shall understand what it means to say our bodies are temples. Finally we shall resume living as temples, no longer as coffins. And what we build shall be the bowers and wreaths of these temples, no longer tombs.
 
We shall resume our true heritage as our spirit spreads from the new garden’s model point of light to embrace and combine with the light of the entire Earth. That’s the great promise and goal we aspire to on Earth Day. It commands us to make every day Earth Day, and then for this great aspiration simply to be the living work of each and every day.
 
This is the living movement humanity must build. The Earth is calling us home.

The Pathogen of the “Cure”

>

 
 
Why do the ignorant rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers take counsel together
against the Lord, saying
Let us break the bonds asunder,
and cast away their cords from us.
 
– Psalm 2
 
 
(This refers specifically to New Jersey, but similar examples will be found everywhere, and the general points are universal.)
 
The closure of state and county parks by the NJ regime is based clearly on fraudulent pretenses. Everything the governor and his flunkies claim about it is a lie, as is proven by the fact that outdoor business like construction and landscaping is booming. If the governor is on the level, why isn’t he shutting those down as well? This proves that the closure has an evil motive, not anything to do with the public health.
 
So what is this evil motive? The entire process of blowing up the corona flu into a mortal threat to all humanity has been primarily a governmental power grab and has been used deliberately to crater the economy and accelerate the liquidation of individuals and small businesses, who will end up economically destroyed, their assets then hoovered up at pennies on the dollar by the same banks which continue being directly bailed out to the tune of scores of trillions by now.
 
Many of those now reveling in their obedience to self-quarantine at home soon will be rendered homeless.
 
But it seems like closing the parks doesn’t directly further this goal. Certainly it’s an exercise in demanding obedience simply for the sake of obedience.
 
It’s also designed to render us more vulnerable to sickness by making us psychologically and physically weaker. Medical science has abundant evidence that outdoor recreation is critical for health, especially for strengthening the immune system. You know, the feature whose health is most critical during an epidemic. In particular, being amid nature, out in the woods, boosts immunity along with myriad other health benefits.
 
(Many who now support universal incarceration used to go around preaching everything I just said in the previous two sentences. Just one particularly poignant example of the currently near-universal phenomenon of everyone throwing away everything they previously claimed to believe, revealing themselves as always having been frauds.)
 
I think the last point about communion amid nature touches on a deeper motivation. The ecocidal civilization works not only directly to murder the Earth but forcibly to break all remaining bonds between humanity and nature. This isn’t incompatible with the existence of the parks in the first place, which currently represents a stand-off between the ecocidal aggression and the residual wish among humans to retain some residual bond. But of course this is always a bleeding boundary: Governments and corporations always are pushing the further exploitation and degradation of all parks, all natural preserves, all public spaces. Here in NJ we’ve seen the push to log parts of the state parks, just to give one example. This logging, as with everything else, has zero economic rationale, is done at a loss to the public, and is done only for corporate profit and for the sake of ecocidal destruction itself.
 
So even as it nominally sustains the parks as a public good, the system is fundamentally hostile toward their existence. And this hostility must increase as more and more people go to the woods for far more than recreation. More and more of us see how the economic civilization itself was a hideous wrong turn and how ecocide is nothing but collective suicide, infinitely more profound than any relatively trivial virus. For us the human bond with the Earth is not only sacred but is the one and only basis of our very existence, which must be fully rebuilt, reinvigorated, restored.
 
For us, the woods are our place of health, of life, indeed of worship, while closing the parks is nothing less than religious persecution, in addition to all its more mundane personal and social evils.
 
As more and more people experience Gaia this way, as more of us are living to restore the primal bonds, the more aggressively the ecocidal system, its kings of the earth and rulers must take counsel together against the Earth, against all of us, violently to break these bonds anew and cast away those cords.
 
From that perspective, to close the parks when they’re most needed, and amid the very renewal of spring, is to strike a fierce blow against the renewal of the human spirit amid the Earth.
