So it seems the order of nature that is being rammed down our collective throats as we all madly tap away at keyboards is derived from a rather over-rippened novel vision of dubious perfection based on an early twentieth century facist delusion which itself is based upon the MYSTERIOUS words of Madame Blavatsky and her hoidy toidy Theosophists. Now I ralize that I'm getting a little too historic and literary for this age of the moment and illiteracy but such is life from time to time. Paradoxical at every turn when the generation's only exposure to culture is toilet graffitti, Bay Watch (TM) and the freakingly intolerably boring WWW. Shangri La! Mysterious, ageless kingdom in the Lost Horizons of Tibet! Where they live for an eternity and rule the world by secret ways and subtle, psychic beams of control. All mixed together with the holier than holier than thou nonsense of H.P.B. (Helena Petrovna Blavatsky) with her equally silly idea of Masters of Wisdom who exist only on etherial planes, and who guide the world from their astral fastnesses through willing and supliant disciples. Fast forward to the end of this millenium and the WiReD world of the WiLd WiLd InTeRnEt! The masters are those blessed enough to have been there at the outset as flunkie creeps of the completely frightening American Military Industrial Complex and it's DARPA network of collaborators, bomb makers and atomic blast creators. Yes, they snuck in the Net among all that mayhem not realizing that they were equally tinged, tainted and poisoned by the Mom and Apple Pie brand of squeeky Clean top down, Hierarchy scales brand of USA facism Today. All of which reflects in their delusional visions, so all consumingly powerful, of how the Net, the World and, if they and their NASA fellow megalomaniacs could manage it, the frigging UNIVERSE. So here we are citzens. Stuck with their dumb ass hallucinations, solidified and concretizing as we tip-tap away in front of our respective Cathod Ray Tube communication boobs. Totalitarian- ism American Style ... leadership by secret Internet cartel, process by de facto monopoly, rule by edict outside the fold, by lock step "consensus" within the fold (fold being those of like mind - no other applicants need apply), all the while claiming the opposite, draping said same selves in the glory of an American Revolutionary set of ideals so dead as to be invisible in reality. While we're all expected to fall into step, march to the yankee doodle dandy toon, hush up, be happy and obey our betters like the proletarian vision of these, our fine cousin's commercial universe. Not me. Not ever. Rather chuck the computers and everything to do with em than allow this mad vision to become our civilization's bright blurry, insane ttoommoorrooww. Over and out.
