The New Puritans: Socialists

"I think that here lies the sense of literary creation: to portray ordinary objects as they will be reflected in the kindly mirrors of future times; to find in the objects around us the fragrant tenderness that only posterity will discern and appreciate in the far-off times when every trifle of our plain everyday life will become exquisite and festive in its own right: the times when a man who might put on the most ordinary jacket today will be dressed up for an elegant masquerade" (Vladimir Nabokov, A Guide to Berlin, 1925).

Those "kindly mirrors of future times" are also the forgetful mirrors or the fun-house distortion mirrors. As a person grows old and forgetful, so too does the world. In the early 1920s of Berlin, Nabokov had not yet experienced the Corporate-Religious fanatacism of the National Socialist German Worker's Party and its push towards a hygienic world, its scientific cure for cancer, and poverty....not yet.

Soon enough Nabokov and millions of others would think back to those times when the ordinary, the everyday trifle and jacket would be something to yearn for; remembering them as elegant and rich.

During the National Socialist German Worker's Party's reign science was the state's chosen superstition and religion. Nearly all doctors and scientists eagerly signed on in support of this wonderful lie. Even before the Jews were rounded up, the elderly, the deformed, and the war veterans were quietly destroyed. Imperfect babies were euthanized and issued death certificates which gave no indication that the child died of anything other than natural causes.

Homes and sanitariums for the invalid, elderly, and war veterans had gas chambers installed. Hundreds were gassed and incinerated at a time. The local villager's only complaints were in regard to the nuisance of the smoke and the dust it left upon things. These early gas chambers were the model upon which the death camps for Jews and other competition against the state's corporate interests were based.

Health was all important. The science, and Hitler's Socialist Worker's agreed. Organic and back-to-earth natural diets were all the rage. Hitler was a vegetarian because he was sure that it was healthier and kinder to animals. Yes, even animal rights were a beloved cause of the German Socialists. Evidently, they found it easier to get along with animals than with humans.

Gold watches were awarded by Hitler to those who had quit smoking cigarettes; an unhygienic habit associated with Jews, Indians, Gypsies, Blacks, jazz musicians, intellectuals, and any other enemy of the healthy Aryan pater familias. Passive smoke is so very destructive to genetic purity. But, of course, the smoke of bodies spewing out of an incinerator's chimney has absolutely no carcinogenic or dangerous effects whatsoever, or so the scientifically pure Germans seemed to believe. The Nazi smoking bans seemed to ignore their own addiction to the burning blood of innocents.

In a society that loved the male body, glorified it and worshipped it in all its neo Roman health, women were relegated the role of necessary for breeding. Women weren't permitted to smoke cigarettes for fear they would ruin the future purity of the Aryan race. A woman's place was in the home worshipping her husband who enjoyed male perfection more than her.

That's right, male self-love was a proud quality of the Socialists. We are told that homosexuals were sent to the same camps as the Jews and Gypsies. The effeminate and flimsy homosexuals were sent to the camps because they did not meet the Roman-Socialist ideal of maleness. Big, strong, male Socialists were not imprisoned. But, of course, those big, healthy gorgeous males used the effeminate homosexuals to push forth much of their agenda, scientific research, and information gathering before rounding them up.

I have watched this Roman-Socialist male rising the past few years. I have watched pseudo-science rising, and now the corrupted governments invested in the pharmaceutical and war contractor corporations.

I have always wondered why the people of Germany allowed Hitler and the National Socialist German Worker's Party to accrue so much power and to kill so many people. Now I understand. Because the wheel has turned and now we are back where we were when Hitler came to power. We are as blind, self-righteous, and deluded by propaganda as the German people.

I always wondered why the religious and church community was largely silent. Now I know why. They are a large part of the problem. If it were not for the churches support of false righteousness and perfection, male glorification, female subservience, scientific falsehoods funded by corporations, and fear of non-members, Socialism's religious fanaticism could not gain a stronghold in any country.

There is a false belief within much of the religious community that they are different, at odds with the rest of the "liberal" and immoral world. They seem unable to see that nearly every belief and "moral" value they espouse are exactly the same ones those outside of their building also hold to.

The church operates as a large corporation every time it goes out to "save the world," and gain converts/customers. What happens when a new corporation/church comes along and offers a new product, or enacts a hostile takeover such as early Roman Catholicism and its offshoot, Islam have done? The customers/converts are compelled to remain loyal to that product or be killed for being "immoral." One way of creating religious loyalty is by pushing fear and ignorance upon the people. Government, corporations, and religions are all similar in their modi operandi.

We have come full circle and are seeing a melding of government, corporation, and church. There is a religious fervor in the air. The word "moral" drops down upon our heads after the little birdie chirps it in our ear. Sacrifice is spoken of and a return to harsh "realism" is being advertised as more favorable than the old mercy. We are told to give back a portion to the Lord/Government and he'll spread it around for his great projects, because he can't possibly act out his great miracles and works without our money. Yes, our god is an awesome god.

Satan and sorcery are everywhere and in everyone and the only way to distinguish between witches and holy ones is to put them to the test. If a person can't pass the surveillance camera, the thumb scan, body scanner, breath test, or Tom A. Swift's Electric Rifle (Taser) they are a witch.

We are living in fervently religious times, whether one admits it or not. The problem is that no one will admit it, and that most of us are socialists and fanatical religionists. We are greatly deceived and ignorant. We do not see how many we harm and murder in our self-righteousness. Not one person is innocent. Each time we tithe (or pay taxes or zakat, whatever one chooses to call it) to the government that money is invested in addictive and dangerous pharmaceuticals or in the war industry. The high priests are sacrificing lambs to a strange god with our money.

I am no peacenik or homeopathic zealot, but when war becomes profitable for local and federal governments because of the monetary profits and power to be made I find it impossible to support it. War should profit no one. When the pharmaceutical industry is also big business for the government it is no longer about health, but about banning competition in order to gain profits and power.

When Jesus came to the Jews a couple thousand years ago many of them couldn't believe it. He wasn't a king, a religious leader, a wealthy businessman. But He was a threat to kings, religious leaders, and wealthy businessmen.

Now, there is talk of the anti-christ within extremist factions of Socialist Islam and Socialist Christianity. Each of these groups has defined who the anti-christ is, how he looks, and how he should be fought. The Jews did the same thing a few thousand years ago with their expectations of their Savior. Most people won't recognise the anti-christ because they won't believe that he looks exactly like the reflection in the mirror and the person next to them in line at the check-out counter, and the person at the pulpit. How can we recognize anti-christ when we can't recognize Christ?

Jesus looks like His people, and so does the anti-christ. The anti-christ claims it can save us with every ban, health ordinance, prescription, technology, program, war, law, airbag, bailout, election, prison, school, police officer, carbon offset, treaty, condom, vaccine, riot, demonstration, tax, insurance policy, and bag of gold.

There is no money or power gained by extending mercy and forgiveness. It's not good business and is unfair, to those that have worked hard at perfection. How can a pharmaceutical company sell its pills to a person that forgives and is forgiven? It can't because the stress caused by bitterness and fear isn't there. How can the war and law enforcement corporations profit from mercy and forgiveness? How can the religions of the world profit from a forgiven population?

"For I desire mercy and not
sacrifice,
And the knowledge of God
more than burnt offerings" (Hosea 6:6)

If we are to "portray ordinary objects as they will be reflected in the kindly mirrors of future times; to find in the objects around us the fragrant tenderness" for posterity to look fondly upon, we must see the world around us in this time first. There will be no kindly looking back upon us if we are cruel and blind, if we are witch hunters, accusers, and destroyers of our fellow humans in the name of purity. The picture we want painted for posterity is one of "fragrant tenderness," not corporate-religious socialism.

Blackstone's Ratio: Better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer (also espoused by the Hebrew Patriarch Abraham, Maimonides, Fortescue, Increase Mather, Ben Franklin....

Socialists and Witch Finders General like to twist it to "better than ten innocents suffer than one guilty man escape."

Before 22 Dec, 1942 U.S. school children saluted the flag in a manner common to socialists around the world. The Pledge of Allegiance was written in 1892 by a Baptist minister and Christian Socialist named Francis Bellamy. The western world was proudly Socialist once before and is once again. And like the Nazis we don't think of ourselves as racists or segregationist or evil. We don't see that the only difference between our time and the past is a few years and the word Nazi.
