OK, first of all, how dare I formulate an opinion without actually seeing
something for myself? I averted my eyes when it was shown on television, as is
my reflex. However, I did actually catch a glimse, and it was "art" but not
really appropriate for prime time. You are right, I have an opinion on this
without much knowledge, as we all formulate opinions based on our own biases at
times. We do this when we are not particularly focused on the question, as I am
not really focused on this question at this time. Ashcroft can do what he
wants. I support him in this because I think it is a good idea. If I really
wanted to go in depth I would have to be interested in naked statues inside of
the D.O.J. Honestly, that does not pique my interest.
I would say, in general, that a lot of the female statues in public places
have their roots in eighteenth century neo-paganism, as has been discussed. That
may be one reason Ashcroft did what he did. The re-design of the Pentagon,
planned I believe from before 9-11, may be another sign that some forces want us
to get away from the "secret architecture" paradigm. However, even there I would
not involve myself directly, at this point, other than with my one "urban
renewal" project, the one you all know and love, the one removing a symbol that,
theoretically at least, no major religion would want there.
What surprises me about all of this is that I really was making a whole other
point. I was not trying to focus on that blasted statue. It is not high on my
list of priorities. Perhaps Ashcroft is trying to send a message to Muslim
allies, you know, a non-offensive message about how America is not really the
Great Satan, etc. My real focus was on the rest of what I wrote. Does anyone
remember? Milosevik and Stalin are getting fresh new support from the supposed
intelligensia. I am a one-time friend of a friend of Michael Parenti, never
having met him but having met students of his who knew him well. They studied
Mao and Castro regularly. It was truly frightening. The fact that an educated
man like this would go further than opposing NATO and actually uphold the
Stalinist model is frightening. Also, the Arabic extremists have supporters
among the Left-wing intelligensia, and they get much of their "information" from
Hitler and the Holocaust denial people. Intelligent people, many of whom I have
once respected, have taken positions that are truly frightening. It is more than
just defending free speech, honestly.
Part of this may be a Hegelian dialectic. I truly believe that many of these
positions are manipulated by the Nimrodian powers. However, I cannot prove this
and can only say that they are dangerous in their own right. I notice that few
of them can really challenge me directly, not with substance. The only
substantive challenges to anything I say seem to have to do with naked statues
inside the D.O.J. I would rather have something of substance to discuss.
Really.
