Here, have a nice Thorazine cocktail. #8-) Prestidigitation ["fast fingers"], sleight-of-hand, is the art of focusing an audience's attention upon your seen hand, while your unseen hand does something subtle. Such misdirection, distraction, is the life's blood of demagogues, conspirators, Nazis, Xians, all those who want to bend us to their will. Wave one hand - "Look here, see what those nasty Jews / Wiccans / Socialists / Reptilioids are up to, kill them!!" - while the other hand does... what? Anti-Semitic claims are so patently bogus, the same as Xian denunciations of Wiccans, reactionary rants against perceived socialists, and all such conspiracy fodder, that we must look very carefully at what is being concealed. Examine sources of such denunciations, examine their desires, determine who/what is actually behind these fronts. Who's behind the Nazis, the Xian Identity and Xian Right movements, the equally fascist UFOlogists? Consider the mollusks. "Most mollusks are slow-moving shellfish with filter-feeding lifestyles, but cephalopods - octopus, squid, cuttlefish and nautilus - swim freely. Octopus and squids have given up their shells to become the most highly mobile inverte- brates, with the largest nervous systems. The brain has eight ganglia, arranged in a ring around the esophagus. Small octopus can learn to solve problems like how to open a container of food. Giant squid, as large as whales and with large nervous systems, are known to exist, but they live permanently at depths beyond present human observation." --Prof. Hans Moravec, MIND CHILDREN: The Future of Robot and Human Intelligence [Harvard, 1988] Giant squids are the most mobile creatures on our planet, with the largest brains and most complex nervous systems of any known animal. They dominate the biosphere. We humans know NOTHING of their domain, their culture, their intentions - and they intend to keep our ignorance total. That's why they focus their vast mental energies at the weak-minded among humans, fostering such self-loathing and fear that manifests as: anti-Semitism, anti- Socialism, anti-Pantheism, anti-Reptilioidism, misogyny, all such hateful doctrines. Whenever you hear a Nazi nattering, remember: that's just a squid-stooge. DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
