“What if God was one of us?… Just a slave like one of us?… Just a stranger on the bus… Tryin' 2 make His way home…” as we've reiterated several times over the course of these shows…'God' goes by many names… walks in many shapes… among us… and they all mean 'infinite energy'… 'Eternity'… Prince used a variety of terms to signify this concept… most often 'God' and / or 'Love'… used interchangeably… But in order to hold in our minds a vision of a free future across 'class' time… we needed to have someone we could embody that principle of Infinity… of the Eternal… in… so that we could feel loved in a system that structurally creates the opposite experience: the experience of not feeling loved…

“Garbage-in – Garbage-out”… is a good summary description of the operation of 'the system' – one of its key fundamental flaws (“structural 'contradictions'…”) It has not been discussed much by us in terms of its larger 'systemic' implications: it means a world of people with garbage in our minds… and a physical landscape of garbage as far as the eye can see… For this discussion… for now… think of the 'Garbage-in' as the lies of the 'power'-guys: they cannot be honest… or the entire house of cards called 'capitalism'… will fall in on them… The perplexities of the Federal Reserve (US) posted in The New York Times of late… (For example in theThe New York Times of October 15, 2016 we read: “The presenters at the Boston Fed conference, which was devoted to the slow pace of growth in recent years, generally attributed a large share of the economy's underperformance to issues that would seem beyond the reach of monetary policy, including demographic shifts and slow productivity growth. 'Just pushing down unemployment, by itself, is unlikely to draw large numbers of workers back into the labor force,' said Gabriel Chodorow-Reich… One possible reason, Ms. Yellen said, is that households and businesses with relatively large debts… [Time out: She's talking about here the difference between the so-called 'real' 'economy' – i.e.… the earth… us… – and the fake one of endless manipulation of “Invisible Deeds” (so to speak…) – their made-up (made up by made-up 'instruments' day-dreaming-up their fanciful-like…) their imagined world of: “the human-cattle can be made to swallow whatever crap we force in their mouths…” (a fundamental… Plato-derived misunderstanding…) – while… actually (here the 'real-world' speaks…) – not so much… This made-up-pretend-world of theirs is partly captured by the word 'speculation'… and partly captured with the image of self-less (will-stripped) minions trained to take their own crap for real… trying to please their masters by 'producing' 'new' ways to con the currency out of the people's pockets and into theirs (the masters'…) At base… she's saying (perhaps conscious of this… perhaps oblivious…) “Oh no… can it be… that the people see… are becoming conscious… are waking up?”… our machine is malfunctioning!”…

The perplexities of the Federal Reserve (US) posted in The New York Times of late asking how it can be that their garbage-making machine (to which we have been conditioned to attach the moniker 'capitalism'… or… 'the free market'…) is finally running out of steam (or… in their propaganda… has merely 'choked'… or… 'clogged up'… and so… they must root about in it… reach their arms into the mechanism and slosh the mess about… put their hands on the trouble… and break it free… so the market can… 'move'… again… – we should revisit our May 3, 2015 show… which points out that the global-state-statesmen have been in possession of this “Heads-up!” on the 'breakdown' (transition…) moment we are in for a century and a half or so [I'm providing it for reference… and will only comment additionally that the 'self-valorization of capital' notion referred to in the second excerpt (below) which has served 'power' as key propaganda so well over the decades is a myth… as Rosa Luxemburg explained… that by “the 'self-valorization of capital'”… they mean… or… its authentic meaning… is 'the discovery of 'new'… untapped 'resources' to plunder…] these 'perplexities' aired publicly are a good illustration of the various levels of “Garbage-in – Garbage-Out…” – all happening simultaneously (as 'systems' are wont to display…) From the larger 'vantage of the whole' we observe the 'global-economic-system' itself (chewing madly away on the flesh of our Grandmother [Earth]… for decade stacked upon decade as far as the eye can see…) Next week we'll discuss 'power's plans for us given the end of their feeding frenzy facing them… and what… on the other hand… what must be our plan for ourselves…

 

[“161023teslaandthefireball_4.mp3”:]

 

Continuing our excerpt from Margaret Cheney's Tesla: Man Out Of Time… Margaret Cheney: “In a diary entry dated January 3, 1900, after describing the taking of some laboratory photographs, he mentioned watching the formation of sparks into streamers and "fireballs" [the definition given in the dictionary I just consulted… of the word "ball lightning"… described by Margaret Cheney here… is: "a rare and little known kind of lightning having the form of a moving globe of light several centimeters across that persists for periods of up to a minute…" - P.S.]. Ball lightning, or fireballs, is a phenomenon that has fascinated and baffled scientists from ancient times to the present. Fireballs are mentioned on Etrurian monuments, in the works of Aristotle and Lucretius, and in the writings of the modern atomic scientist Niels Bohr. Arago analyzed some twenty reports of fireballs in 1838. Some scientists have maintained that they are merely optical illusions, and so Tesla himself thought until they began to appear accidentally on his high-voltage equipment in Colorado. These strangely ephemeral objects, unlike regular lightning, move slowly, almost parallel to the ground. They have been known to appear in airplanes in flight, move eerily along the floor of the cabin, and after no more than five seconds vanish. Tesla's speculations do accord with some recent hypotheses. He thought, for example, that the initial energy was insufficient to maintain the fireball and that there must be another source,which he believed came from other lightning passing through the fireball's nucleus. For him fireballs were merely a fascinating nuisance, yet he took the time to follow this apparently useless research wherever it might lead - and in the process claimed that he had learned how to create the phenomenon at will. Modern scientists, using the most powerful nuclear accelerators, have tried and failed to replicate his achievement (although the fascinating, and potentially valuable, nuisance still occurs unasked).”

Prince is alone in having developed a strategy applicable to our present moment… One of the key conclusions reached by our Good Three as a result of their 'systematic' (global…) analysis of our prospects for winning our freedom… we who long for it (globally…) was: “…the de-nationalization of domestic labor forces suggests a fundamental change, on the part of the left, as to what “national” means…. To accomplish the reconception will entail a degree and kind of substantive and rhetorical inventiveness not presently in ascendance within prominent movements. And the third, the increasing salience of the gender question, entails… the further generalization, from the pauperization of women to the pauperization of people on a world-scale…” (Giovanni Arrighi, Terence K. Hopkins, and Immanuel Wallerstein’s Antisystemic Movements…” And I'm going to encourage us to think about this quote for next week… and to think about this notion of the "'pauperization' of people on a world-scale…" not just in material terms… but in wholistic terms… because those are the terms we are given by Prince… and these are the terms that… I believe… make his strategy so 'evolutionary'… so fresh… and so needed for this moment… It has been anticipated by all who long for us to free ourselves from force… from coercion… including Nikola Tesla himself… we have been pauperized in every sense… in all of our aspects… when we are diminished by the coerced-work system… – but the sense in which are Good Three are talking about it… in which the entire globe is engulfed… that is to say… the very structure of the global economic system… cannot provide for the numbers of us that now exist… and… for them… the global-statesmen… this is a dilemma of "what to do with us…" for us this is a dilemma of how to save ourselves from these sad folk… and regain the full richness of our human possibilities… I am convinced… from clear indications in his lyrics… that as early as 1982 – when his album 1999 was released – that Prince was getting hit with EMF… Point being: that Prince possessed the key strategic 'next steps'… for us to get our freedom… What we have to remember… is the key strategic and historical juncture that all of us globally now inhabit… one that our Good Three are calling us to see… a juncture in which the official 'left' has been captured by the interstate-system (global-'power'… the shadow global-state… the tasks of which are implemented by 'for-sale-agents' of… trained-up in… the coerced-work-system… paid to do the dirty work of the shadow global-statesmen via a number of routes: public… private… and off-any-books clandestine – and in every state (until we develop alternative routes for our energy to flow in…) in every state it is the same… How do we change this? How do we confront hidden actors using hidden means… agents… and weaponry?… That is the puzzle that only those who possess a clear picture of what we are up against can solve… one who is strategic and far-sighted – that means Prince. Next week we'll talk about it. In the meantime… let's do what we can to insist that Henry Kissinger answer the questions we have put to him… and take responsibility for the murder of Prince… After all…he not only knew about these weapons at least a decade before Prince was first targeted… but… clearly… unless he denies authorship of the telegram we reproduced during our August 14, 2016 show… he was one of the principle architects of the whole bi-partite scheme: to use EMF weapons for both the 'surgical' elimination of dissent… and 'population management'…

[In this interview…Prince tells a story told in his family about when he was a small child… that he was born epileptic: "I used to have seizures when I was young… and… my mother told me one day I walked into her and said… 'Mom… I'm not going to be sick anymore…' and she said… 'why?'… and I said… 'because an angel told me so…'" – From a 2009 interview in which Prince mentions the song "Colonized Mind" which begins with these words: “Upload: the evolution principal… U c a rock on the shore and say… "it's always been there"… Download: no responsibility… Do what you want nobody cares… Upload: the master race idea… Genetically disposed 2 rule the world… Download: a future full of isolated… Full of isolated boys and girls… Upload: a 2-party system… The lesser of 2 dangers… Illusion of choice… Download: a veiled form of fascism… Nothing really ever changes… U never had a voice… If you look, ur sure gonna find… Thruout mankind's history… A colonized mind… The one in power makes law… Under which the colonized fall… But without god it's just the blind leading the blind… (Prince, "Colonized Mind", Lotus Flower, 2009)]

The reasoning… or underlying premise… with which I began Waking Up: Freeing Ourselves From Work (the book…) I believe is quite sound: if only a Few have the 'power'… the resources… to 'make reality'… the rest of us are just living in their dream… in their skewed conceptions… In one of the series of interviews with Prince that I've been excerpting from he says that psychic survival for him (my term…) necessitated the creation of his 'own world'… in a sense… into which you enter only by invitation… what he described sounded very much like Emily Dickinson's line: “the soul Selects her own Society…” indeed it does… 'class' demands we create 'safe' psychic and physical spaces if we want to preserve our humanity… and… ideally… hang onto our love. This 'safe space' was exponentially more needed by Prince because he was a target of those closeted 'power'-guys who torture and kill at will… they believe they are entitled to… as 'philosopher-kings'-in-line for the Top Spot… I suppose they would define that as “the most heartless”… You will recall from our reading from Karl Marx's The Eighteen Brumaire that Louis Bonaparte devised a strategy of governing by secret means… which intersected with… as we learned from Alice Miller… the indoctrination of children of the elite into the ways of 'governing-the-state' known as “Poisonous Pedagogy” a.k.a. the inculcation of absolute obedience to Authority… and intrinsic to 'poisonous pedagogy' and the inculcation of obedience – torture inflicted on the infant – is training in the suppression of spontaneous feelings… and within this the essential importance of maintaining secrecy about one's true motives and thoughts… I mention this to make clear that “rule by secret means” is a well-developed centuries-old strategy of the global elite we have been calling 'Plato's Tribe'… because the Republic is their game-plan and rules-book… provides their manual of propaganda plays… raison d'etre… and sense of legitimacy – and because Plato recommended infanticide for those infants deemed 'redundant' (and we are in John Boswell's debt for documenting the practice of child abandonment among the 'privileged 'classes' in Europe from [at least] 'late antiquity'… in his book The Abandonment of Children in Western Europe From Late Antiquity Through the Renaissance…) – for our understanding of which we owe Karl Popper and his monumental work… The Open Society and its Enemies, Volume 1: The Spell of Plato… “Rule by secret means”… one of the tactics involved in this is “agent-surrounding”… linked to “EMF-bombarding”… and I believe that this tactic… indirectly… led Prince to my son and me… and has given us men – Nikola and Prince – too 'big' to be 'not-seen' ("justice for Prince means freedom for all of us…") And if Prince caught the interview there with me and T… and as a result listened afterwards… even if only occasionally… to our show… it would explain… a lot of the off-the-charts agent-attention I got in the years subsequent… if not the EMF bombardment – because that had already started…

"When Feelings Are Not Suppressed in Infants… Love Can Grow in Them… and… With it… Authentic Thought… i.e. Thought Not Subject to the Command of Authority (the State…)"… Prince has a capacity to love… to love despite being in an "Art Official Cage" - where did it come from?… this capacity?… the work… the visions… he was given was to do this… model… and encourage us to manifest… this capacity… Surround this man with false folks – and I'm talking literally paid-agents-for-'power' – because as an organized bunch of small men you perceive the threat presented by his bigness… - and you inflict on Prince a psychic torture… a heart-blow… every bit as horrendous as the physical torture of his body and spirit with EMF… Prince: “…where'd they learn hypnosis?… How'd they keep me under 4 so long?… Break the bread I earn, just keep me far from closest… I need their kind 2 illustrate what's wrong - what's wrong? ("Slave", Emancipation, 1996)” “When it comes 2 love… Why do some men, why do some men turn their backs?… Can't somebody please tell me?… Old, old friends 4 sale… Get'em while the gettin' is hot… But U better watch out, they'll kiss U until they get what U got… And they'll show U the friends that they're not… Old friends 4 sale ("Old Friends 4 Sale," The Vault: Old Friends 4 Sale, 1999)” “Right the wrong… Hear the song… Before long U won't hear nothin' but the crackle of flames… Right the wrong… Hear the song… Would u rather die knowing that u did or keep living in shame?… (Come on, come on, come on)… Did you hear me baby?… Right the wrong… I'm 6 feet in the grave… I'm 6 feet in the grave… Died when he wanted 2 (right the wrong right the wrong) light the life that lives… ("Right the Wrong", Chaos and Disorder, 1996)” We just have to know that EMF and false-folks is 'power's m.o. with whoever they deem 'unneeded' or 'disobedient'… this is clearly what my experience of being targeted with harassment and EMF-blasting… even before I did radio… Done to me… absolutely means that this was done to Prince… for if I was a perceived threat… Prince was… is… exponentially more so…

“Please please tell me what the hell is wrong…” (“Computer Blue”)… In the midst of 'chaos and disorder' a new friend suggested the 'order' offered by Jehovah's Witnesses… and the words of Jesus offered authentic explanation of the unrelenting physical and psychic torture inflicted on him… but they need to be augmented… with what we now know… 'Power's m.o. in 'dealing with a threat… Do we need a guidebook or can we proceed past this Art Official Cage directly to our future?… But here's some of their (previously mentioned…) bits: give him a wife… a job… a friend… They already gave him a wife… and they murdered his baby in addition (I personally don't believe there's much doubt of this… but we need our Miklos' and Nikola's to confirm that a laser-weapon-assault on an in utero skull would or could fuse it…) and that didn't stop him… They couldn't get him a job so they got him a best friend who brought him to Jehovah's Witnesses… and that's the box they intended to bury him in… along with the diminutive 'master of pop…' He was looking for an answer as to why he was here… what he was doing on the planet… why he was being tortured… head-and-heart-hurt for bringing the love… the party… for pointing out that we are here to share joy and pleasure with our Brothers and Sisters… (And even though I… unfortunately… lost my music… my exploration of music… as I explained on an earlier show… when our stuff got stolen… when my son was five… reading Alice Miller brought it into sharp focus: that Prince was at risk… and this realization based only on Purple Rain… the CD and film… the effect that music had on me was hard to explain… although now I'm beginning to understand… But it did require Alice Miller breaking it down for me: why the authentic self… seeing that… seeing someone modeling that… is the biggest threat of all… to the 'power'-guys… the global-statesmen… It was only later that he figured out… and I have to tell you when he mentioned Miles Davis… one among a lot of good-hearted folks who fled the country who I suspect were being targeted… when he mentioned Miles getting in touch with him… I have to wonder… Miles being the elder I am now… and caring about the youth coming up… and who… I've no doubt did follow Prince… could very well see in his lyrics what was happening to him… But however it happened… Prince figured out that it was these 'power'-guys… the U.S.-branch of the global-interstate system… When you got heart… and you start getting hurt by somebody… you want to fight back… and it obviously radicalized him… all but saying in his lyrics: "I am being assaulted with EMF-weapons by an out-of-control state… we got Fascism folks… but he couldn't say that [although in lyrics I just read the day after this show I discovered he in fact had said that: "we got Fascism folks…"] And he also figured out that the hate that was being directed at him was something he needed to see…) In a sense he was searching for a clarity he already had… because his body possessed it: “I need their kind 2 illustrate what's wrong…” – but without support… it's hard to hang onto the body's truth… particularly when an 'agent-surround'… and their manufactured 'reality'… is wearing you down… along with a secret weapon of a global elite that sucks the life out of you… resulting in an EMF-death either slow or fast… depending on type of frequency and its intensity… (…this may be more on-the-money than I knew… I mean it feels like this… like it's sucking the life out of you… and… given what Nikola said about the behavior of the stationary wave… that it acts almost as a pendulum… well… let's get our contemporary good-hearted Nikola's to pull our coats on this… We need the assistance…)

 

[“161016whatagentsurroundonprincemeant_4.mp3”:]

 

Because what Prince is showing us… trying to get us to see… is that this is all of us… we are all in this together… If you are not yourself being hit with their secret weapon… the moment you have a good friend… or a child… or someone you love… who decides "enough is enough… I'm speaking up…" they're in the crosshairs… and just as Prince said… do you really want to die knowing that you did nothing?… He is trying to show us that our lives… our 'bigness'… our true lives… depends on our being authentic… How he maintained his love with so little support from others likewise ruled by love I do not know… I do know - because I've been the target of this tactic - I do know he was surrounded by a large number of hidden agents… and that a large part of the reason for the tactic is to prevent (using 'Iago-whispering' and such like plays…) to prevent authentic people from coming into… or remaining in… your life… True love for this man they would not let near him… They would surround him with a lot of hot women… quite a few I would imagine… including under-age… because they wanted to get this man 'in trouble'… he's got a lot of songs about that… This was obviously one of the tactics they wanted to sink him with… which he knew… You can't be a target o EMF-weapons and not know the 'power'-folks are trying to destroy you… But what I suspect he did not know for a while… because it's really hard to get this… is that they 'breed' children to do their dirty work for them… they use very young people because they are so easy to manipulate… 'dupable'… 'influence-able'… reared in a totalitarian child-rearing environment that does not allow them access to the truth… So… it takes a while for us to get that they can plant people in places where they are then stuck… for decades… The reality is that in progressive communities you can know someone for quite some time and never know that they were placed there to infiltrate it… as we saw with Richard Aoki… recruited out of high school… They do that a lot… I saw it at Berkeley High happening… So… no way… when someone as young as Prince gets rocketed to celebrity-status as he did… was he going to find his way to too many people authentic… I'm sure there were some… But I'm also sure these 'power'-guys found ways to drive wedges between him and those who are authentic……

 

[“161016princecallsustocometotruth_5.mp3”:]

 

But he was plying his gifts – in his close world of 'creation' and soul-sustenance – with a large number of agents… in a constructed reality within a constructed reality… a large number of agents constructed a false reality for him to exist in… What his body felt from them… necessarily… was the problem of deeply-frozen feelings… and… true to his mission… he tried to help them… receiving but more falseness (discovered and secret…) for recompense… but we were given the incalculable gift of seeing truth triumph over falseness… of seeing unshakable integrity and courage in the face of the pressure of extreme duplicity – a pressure immeasurably worse than we knew… and so asking of and receiving from him courage the extent of which we could have no inkling… His belief in his mission… his belief in love… in music… got him through this… for it allowed him to see that the lowest the human spirit (necessarily under 'class'…) could go… was a place he had to visit… clearly he knew the truth of Shakespeare's strategic advice that difficulties must be known to be overthrown… and what he knew in his whole being… was that the problem (of 'class' – my wording…) was… is… frozen feelings… When we relinquish our authentic voices… how do they come back to us? Perhaps… as Alice suggests… with an emphatic partner – and in Prince I suspect we have just the one needed… for there's none more emphatic than he… not just because he asks the right questions: “Art official… art official… Art official cage… Louder than a bomb since the day of my birth… Got me 2nd class when I got here 1st… Lovely score but how am I supposed 2 know what it's worth…” – but because he's created for us a universe of sound and feeling united in his music that is an alternative space to 'class' ("Spirit's calling… Here's a reason why… [Come…] If U had the chance 2 see the future would U try?” [Come…] [“Come”]) which… when we inhabit and discuss… allows us to see 'power's abuse of us (the point of the song “Come” by the way is that she can't… Such an interesting song… such an interesting man… to say the least…)

 

[“161016acrisisoflegitimacyforthestate_6.mp3”:]

 

…we must always credit that manufactured scarcity is 'class's fundamental premise… But the propaganda "there isn't enough' is seen as the patent falsehood it is when we come to 'music' and 'sex'… 'Music' and 'sex' are always at hand when we want them… so 'power' makes war on them… tells us they aren't ours to bestow on each other… but rather theirs alone to grant… to 'allow' us to have (this conditioning literally silences and paralyzes us… we do not believe ourselves entitled to freely express either without Authority's permission…) (This assumed 'right' of the state is still very much alive but began its' collapse in the 'West' with "the changes in power relations between status-groups…" during what our Good Three called "The Great Rehearsal": “There have only been two world revolutions. One took place in 1848. The second took place in 1968… 1968 is alive and well in the sense that its objective of altering the balance of power in the world social system in favor of subordinate groups has been highly successful. Yet, this success has been accompanied by an equally remarkable failure to improve the material welfare of these subordinate groups [This speaks to the problem Proudhon hopes to correct… of our stated beliefs (“I am free…”) and reality (“I am a slave to Necessity… Hierarchy… Authority…” not being consonant… – P.S.] The reach of authority has come to be more and more denied, as both the US and USSR governments, among others, have increasingly discovered. 1968 symbolized the outburst of such skepticism. Fourth, the demands of the disadvantaged status-groups – of gender, of generation, of ethnicity, of race, of sexuality – will get ever stronger…” This has led to what they term 'a crisis of legitimacy' for the state – that is… increasingly… particularly given the expansion of our organizational capabilities with the Internet and instantaneous communication – we are now saying out loud that which few but Prince… at the time he said them… had the courage to say (I paraphrase): "What on earth do we need you (the state) for? You poison the earth and the-earth-our-bodies with bad food… bad air… thoughts designed to destroy our spirits as heartlessly as your pollution and secret weapons destroy our health and physical existence… You insist on fueling endless wars that nought but the statesmen want… and expect us to thank you for the miserable existence you inflict on us… Time to let love lead… i.e.… time for us to be free.

Prince… everything about him… his stance… his glance… the sounds from his instruments… all say the opposite of "the state owns us…" – they say… "I am yours… we belong to each other…" they say… "there is lush abundance in your fingertips…" they say "there is more than enough… just reach for it… Come…" Murders of our powerful agents of freedom… of them there have been many… but what distinguishes the murder of Prince… at least in this Art Official Age manufactured by the Plato's Tribesmen… is their fear that his lyrics and music could inspire disciples… because his message goes beyond 'politics' to the body itself… (this is so important for understanding who gets targeted…) challenges the 'power'-guys' assumed ownership of us… Prince urges us to reclaim our bodies: if these bodies are for loving… they are not for 'being-made-use-of'… abuse… in any sense – and it is this they don't want us to look at… this… the whole game they've been running… for millennia… which is why they want to get on top of our picture of him… naming him… writing his story… claiming his definition… real quick… this is why they want control of his Vault… and what music of his we can hear… Those of us who love him must demand a full inventory (and maintaining the integrity…) of his music and lyrics… the music and writings he left us… and fight for honest oversight and dispensation of these gifts to us… he was in touch with that place… that place of "pure energy" to a staggering degree… which… combined with his staggering honesty… meant that what he saw… felt… and figured out… he put directly into music and lyrics (Prince was porous-Infinitely… which I'm thinking about as being what is known as 'prophetic'…) i.e.… his music and lyrics provide documentary evidence… of what was done to him (and what is being done to us …) through them he speaks… and with them… with him… we will achieve… our freedom… He is our beacon and standard-bearer to love… let's follow him there…

The more we listen to and learn about him… the less we're able to be manipulated by these lies… Again… recalling what we learned earlier about Henry Kissinger… you might want to revisit the radio show of August 14, 2016 during which we read his 'memo' about the blasting of the U.S. Embassy in Moscow with electro-magnetic force energy and its lethal effects… - and I'm really hoping we have folk… in addition to folks pressuring about the murder of Prince… we have folks who can 'whistle-blow' a bit if only by sharing their expert knowledge as to what exactly these guys are doing with Nikola's work… more precise information about the delivery of this pain… how exactly is it done?… And there is no doubt the official story they've invented for 'cause of death'… and 'the story of Prince' overall… is a fabrication… In answer to these guys… let's demand the facts that have been suppressed: can a laser-weapon directed at the skull of an in utero infant cause it to fuse?… if it can… there is no doubt that these 'power'-mad-guys murdered Prince's child (I'd say it's almost a certainty… just based on their m.o. with a target - when you're their target and you really want something… it becomes their obsession in life to take it away…) Did Prince himself over the decades of the torture he bore… present clear signs of 'EMF assault' - I'll tell you some my own experience suggests: Did he minimize the light in his house at night to make getting hit more challenging for them - using… is my assumption… drones for targeting… Did he try to protect himself in any way with aluminum? (These two were mentioned in a recent People magazine story in a quote from an old girlfriend…) Did he have trouble enduring the torture while he was asleep and have to minimize his 'sleep-time'? Did he wake up with a lot of mucus and difficulty moving? Did he make it a point to not telegraph (announce in advance…) his comings and goings? And… in the circumstances surrounding his murder… did he take actions that might have precipitated it: music in his Vault more explicit in exposing what the 'power'-guys have been doing (although… clearly… now that I've heard them… I see that the challenge issued in his last three CDs was more than enough to have prompted the decision of the 'power'-mad to finally finish murdering him… after torturing him for decades… I mean… "I'm going up Lady Liberty's dress and blow… blow… blow…" - that's a powerful line [don't you wish you'd written it?]) We know he visited his lawyer… did he leave instructions with the lawyer for expediting this exposure? How many songs did he leave in the Vault and what are their titles? Why was the man from L.A. who brought the drugs with him allowed to be with Prince's dead body before the police arrived? Were the drugs they said they found in Prince of the same type that the man had on him? Did the autopsy reveal a lot of mucus in Prince's system?… a lot of iron in his blood?… swelling of his cheeks?

Turning to Proudhon… In what follows let's keep in mind that he's talking about the human being shaped by ten thousand years of hierarchy and injustice - 'rule' - and that 'rule' exists by seizing and monopolizing access to (and control of) 'knowledge'… the knowledge resources… first and foremost among them… language… and… let's recall as well Bentham's reminder to 'power' that "he who claims the lexicon… owns the world…" Proudhon will be speaking of 'science' – using his definition – as a driving force for bringing us all together… but we must never forget that 'power' uses a different definition… Perhaps the key – speaking operationally – definition for 'science' in these guys' minds is "means to control us…" and it may well be that their largest debt for this definition is to Nikola in 'bestowing' upon them the keys to the electrical underpinnings of the planet… and all life on it… 'Thanks' to Nikola (or… rather… thanks… more properly… to their own soul-stuntedness…) they can control us with illness and catastrophe (and outright slaughter of us… as in the case of Iran… Nigeria… etc. etc.…) and supreme military weaponry… dominate through fear… as Machiavelli taught them… and lack of access to the truth… And also 'thanks' to Nikola they can intercept and limit our inter-communications to a very large extent… to maintain this lack of access… But our heart… our love… will triumph nonetheless… now… now that we know what's up… we-growing-numbers among the seven billion of us – hearts… hands… and minds – all looking for hope… that soul… spirit… love… is not lost to the world… and in us… they shall find it… now… now that we have looked under the dress of state… and see the trembling fear of these 'power'-mad abandoned of Plato… hoping to win the praise of their likewise tortured daddies… traumatized children… trained to hate… now… that we have clear sight… certainty… we have returned mobility… for clear sight opens the flood-gates of our love… so we can make our mad-dash… to freedom… And… hang in there if you're having a hard time… As Prince urged us earlier… in the song… "Sweet Baby"… "You're not the only one getting beat down… it happens to us all [under 'class'…]" And I keep pondering this… that… even though – and you would have had to experience this to fully appreciate the love Prince is capable of: what it is to be tortured in plain sight – with no one knowing… and so no one seeming to care… You feel lost… you feel so alone… – but that Prince could be someone… one of those rare… rare people that Erich Frommm didn't even think existed… he said… "Everyone wants to be loved… but no one wants to be loving… "Prince wants to be loving… So we're celebrating him now… Forever… On-goingly… in this space… And… trust… if your spirit starts to flag at all… just remember that you are not alone… You ain't got just me… and a whole lot of good-hearted folks listening (and who ain't…) you got Prince… and he is "Dead On It…"

So while it may seem that our conversion into extensions of machines… into objects-not-ourselves… tools that do work for the 'Proprietor'… - while it may seem to us a recent phenomenon… Zora knew otherwise… When Prince arrived… sent on his mission to us… it was to ascertain and assess… the extent of the problem… and he discovered… that conditions for freedom… for heart… for life… for love… are critical… Prince was here to show us the true way of love… but even more specifically… he was here for Unity… to bring us together… Always present in him is the sense of 'East' meets 'West'… and in the mutual inter-twining of hearts… minds… and thighs… an old understanding is re-energized ("a voice in every color sings a song that is so old…" [from the song "7"]) Love brings the feeling of limitless possibilities… it brings the Infinite back into view… the Infinite stolen from us when we were two… in the 'class'-system… with the inculcation of obedience… using the weapon of Force… the opposite of Freedom… What price authentic Freedom (we ask in this space…) which means no bosses of any shape… whether formed up as Loneliness… or fed us as Fear… whether it's the Clock standing over us… Hunger stalking us… or Statesmen screwing us… we want none of it… it's time… for Freedom…

'What price authentic Freedom?… it is incalculable… it is Everything… As with all prophets of 'class' Prince foresaw its end… but it doesn't take much vision to see this – we're all born with our inherent freedom – it just requires paying attention… But there are some among us (and 'power' knows this and looks for them…) who have authentic visions… of that which must be… because in some sense… they've already happened… Zora Neale Hurston: “Even I do not know when the visions began. Certainly I was not more than seven years old, but I remember the first coming very distinctly… So when I left the porch, I left a great deal behind me. I was weighed down with a power I did not want. I had knowledge before its time. I knew my fate. I knew that I would be an orphan and homeless. I knew that while I was still helpless, that the comforting circle of my family would be broken, and that I would have to wander cold and friendless until I had served my time.… I never told anyone around me about these strange things. It was too different. They would laugh me off as a story-teller. Besides, I had a feeling of difference from my fellow men, and I did not want it to be found out. Oh, how I cried out to be just as everybody else! But the voice said No. I must go where I was sent. The weight of the commandment laid heavy and made me moody at times. When I was an ordinary child, with no knowledge of things but the life about me, I was reasonably happy. I would hope that the call would never come again. But even as I hoped I knew that the cup meant for my lips would not pass. I must drink the bitter drink. I studied people all around me, searching for someone to fend it off. But I was told inside myself that there was no one. It gave me a feeling of terrible aloneness. I stood in a world of vanished communion with my kind, which is worse than if it had never been. Nothing is so desolate as a place where life has been and gone. I stood on a soundless island in a tideless sea. Time was to prove the truth of my visions, for one by one they came to pass. As soon as one was fulfilled, it ceased to come. As this happened, I counted them off one by one and took consolation in the fact that one more station was past, thus bringing me nearer the end of my trials…”

Those who seek to control us ad infinitum… control us by keeping us boxed… and separate… so we don't know each other… and so stay so much smaller than we're meant… we are the stuff of the Infinite… Prince knows this… and while he believes this is what unifies us ultimately… once the 'power'-guys started blasting him with EMF… i.e.… a completely hidden… secret… weapon… he had to come to terms with it… he had to 'process' the existence of an organized… hidden… group of guys… which his use – in The Rainbow Children (in the song "Muse To The Pharoah": “when dem devil come Dem devil come dressed as light”…) of the term 'light' suggests the Plato's Tribesmen term for themselves… 'the Illuminati'… which we now see… thanks to Alice Miller's For Your Own Good… is grandiose self-deception… and that actually they represent the 'modern' 'original' of 'the Abandoned Children of Plato'… a fate they have frenetically been attempting to impose on us… in the aftermath and beyond of the French Revolution…) once Prince saw this… he saw that before love can rule us all… the hand of the pretenders to rule must be shaken off… how to do this… became his question… To somehow convince us to tap into true-wealth… its source in the Eternal… became his answer… but I'm beginning to suspect… that within the ultimate mission of bringing about the conditions needed so that love can lead us… or attached to it… or attached to the intermediate mission of getting us past the lies of the 'power' guys (or am I trying to impose a sequence that doesn't exist?…) is a third mission that Prince came with: to return belief in 'the Eternal' to us… to provide us with certainty that there is an 'Afterworld'… that we continue beyond our physical bodies… so that we may have again the courage we are born with… so that we can have each other's backs… How else explain how our magic-man knew so much about that which had not yet been?…

"To fill a Gap… Insert the Thing that caused it - Block it up with Other - and 'twill yawn the more…" - these lines by Emily Dickinson explain why it is that Prince provides the music for our movement to Freedom… authentic Freedom… How do we tap into our (born-with… inherent…) true wealth?… for isn't it only when we repossess ourselves that the magician's trick of 'the system' loses its spell?… or… put alternately… isn't it only when we repossess ourselves that the ancestors provide the gifts we need to help our Brothers and Sisters… and ourselves… get free… If so… what value do we give to these gifts of… and for… Creation?… Prince's Vault provides a good illustration… protecting gifts that help us get free… And what price should be assigned Nikola's inventions (minus his provision of the system of electrical distribution - plus plus many others that were not useful to 'power' as secret weapons… and so reached us - the electrical distribution system we all depend on - I mean they literally hoped - as they fully intend with Prince - to disappear this man… I was taught in elementary school that it is to Edison that we owe our electrical system… Marconi… the radio… Nikola had to take his case to the Supreme Court to correct the latter lie… they keep telling them both anyway…) inventions stolen from him at such tremendous cost to us all? And what price knowledge of the Eternal… the Source… when we know this is what gives us our Freedom?… when we know that this is what leads to our ability to establish Freedom as our expectation of Life when we arrive? My whole life I've been given hints… reminded… that the Infinite exists: the man who came to me on the second anniversary of my father's death (who I wrote about in Waking Up…) Sifu Coleen Gragen standing in the door of the station (though I didn't share this at the time… it was 'too different'…) almost exactly thirty-four years later… that put me on the road (the very next show… on September 27, 2015) of pondering deeply the quality artists manifest when they represent for the 'all-of-it'… for soul-sufficiency - for 'bigness' - that makes them threats to 'power' (…and the fact that I failed to mention Prince in these discussions causes me such grief… now… that I see… the man he is…) 'out of work'… and pondering it… the whole issue of 'work'… Coleen came to me in a dream… It was May Day 2008… and I woke up with a song… which I believe was a gift to me from Coleen… called "Now Is The Time"… and it includes these lines: "Once upon a time I did just what was needed and I laughed… laughed… laughed… at how easy it seemed… once I woke up… and I spoke up… and I found you…" I think I finally found that 'you'…

Here, according to his experimental results, a great electrical "south pole" was created with a stationary wave that rose and fell in unison with his transmissions from his "north pole" at Colorado Springs. Each time the wave receded, it was reenforced and sent back more powerfully than before to the antipode. Had the Earth been capable of perfect resonance, the results could have been catastrophic, but since it was not, the effect, he believed, was merely to make available at any point on the Earth energy that could be drawn off with a simple piece of equipment. This would include the elements of a radio tuning unit, a ground connection, and a metal rod the height of a house. Nothing more would be needed to absorb household electricity from the waves rushing back and forth between the electrical north and south poles. He did not, however, satisfactorily prove this claim, let alone apply it. Nor has anyone else [that is… we surmise… outside of the misanthropic minds… labs… and minions (who apply his knowledge right in our midst… under our noses…) of those oh-so-secretive 'power'-guys… And it just blows my mind to hear her say this… that with a radio tuning unit… a ground connection… and a metal rod the height of a house - and of course with Nikola's knowledge applied by us… instead of the 'power'-guys - we draw the energy we need free… from the skies… We have to start talking about the possibilities inherent in our repossession of Nikola's gifts to us… - P.S.] One day, working with such currents, he succeeded, to his surprise, in precipitating a dense fog. There was a mist outside, but when he turned on the current the cloud in the laboratory became so dense that he could not see his hand inches in front of his face. From this he concluded that he had made an important discovery. "I am positive in my conviction," he said later, "that we can erect a plant of proper design in an arid region, work it according to certain observations and rules, and by its means draw from the ocean unlimited amounts of water for irrigation and power purposes. If I do not live to carry it out, somebody else will, but I feel sure that I am right." This idea too went into his legacy of unfinished business, and to this date no one has implemented it [Oh some 'ones' have implemented it… but it's still unfinished business until it's we-the-people (globally) working with it… - P.S.] It has been reported by various writers that during his power transmission experiments in Colorado, Tesla succeeded in lighting up a bank of two hundred 50-watt incandescent lamps wirelessly, at a distance of twenty-six miles from his station. In his own writings, however, no such claim was ever made, nor is there other evidence that he did so. What he actually wrote [which to my mind confirms those reports… as he had planned to demonstrate the system he'd designed on an industrial scale… in Canada… before those plans were somehow squashed… - P.S.] "While I have not as yet actually effected a transmission of a considerable amount of energy such as would be of industrial importance, to a great distance by this method," he would write on returning East, "I have operated several model plants under exactly the same conditions which will exist in a large plant of this kind, and the practicability of the system is thoroughly demonstrated."

Part five of “The Rainbow Children” is called "Everywhere” – when we discuss this piece and the larger work we'll be juxtaposing it with “Art Official Age” (2014)… for example the lines: “I woke up in the city in a bit of a rage… Determined 2 free my mind from this art official cage… Tought by tought my teachers taught from an early age… A place in heaven far off in the future… Come on, let's go… Free the people, come on, let's go… Art official, art official cage… Ghettos 2 the left of me, malls 2 the right… Why's my kingdom come only in prayers at night?… What should I expect if I'm not willing 2 fight?… A place in heaven somewhere in the future… Art official, art official… Art official cage… Come on, let's go… Free the people, come on, let's go…” So in discussing “The Rainbow Children” we will also be discussing the trajectory of his growth… as a continuously developing human being… mind stayed on freedom… not for himself alone… which is not in any case a possibility… but for all of us trapped… under 'class'…

Nikola Tesla: “In the middle of June, while preparations for other work were going on, I arranged one of my receiving transformers [Quoting from my electrical apprenticeship class notes: A transformer is an electro-magnetic device that transfers electrical energy from one circuit to another through mutual inductance… The circuit connected to the source (of energy) is called the 'primary'… and the circuit connected to the load (in Nikola's story a recording device…) is called the 'secondary'… Transformers are used to 'step' voltages up or down… and this can be done because it's made of coils of wire around a magnetic material (called the 'core'…) and the induced voltage changes proportionally with the number of turns or 'windings' of the wire - so the ratio of windings from the primary to the secondary allows Nikola to decrease the voltage and so measure voltage fluctuations more easily… - P.S.] I arranged one of my receiving transformers with the view of determining in a novel manner, experimentally, the electric potential of the globe and studying its periodic and casual fluctuations… The earth was found to be, literally, alive with electrical vibrations, and soon I was deeply absorbed in this interesting investigation. No better opportunities for such observations as I intended to make could be found anywhere. Colorado is a country famous for the natural displays of electric force. In that dry and rarified atmosphere the sun's rays beat the objects with fierce intensity. Aided by the dryness and rarefaction of the air, the water evaporates as in a boiler, and static electricity is developed in abundance. Lightning discharges are, accordingly, very frequent and sometimes of inconceivable violence. On one occasion approximately twelve thousand discharges occurred in two hours, and all in a radius of of certainly less than fifty kilometers [thirty-one miles] from the laboratory. Many of them resembled gigantic trees of fire with the trunks up or down. I never saw fire balls, but as a compensation for my disappointment I succeeded later in determining the mode of their formation and producing them artificially…”

 

[“161002teslasgoodheartswampedbyendsofstate_3.mp3”:]

 

Nikola Tesla: "In the latter part of the same month I noticed several times that my instruments were affected stronger by discharges taking place at great distances than by those near by. This puzzled me very much. What was the cause?… Not only was it practicable to send telegraphic messages to any distance without wires, as I recognized long ago, but also to impress upon the entire globe the faint modulations of the human voice, far more still, to transmit power, in unlimited amounts, to any terrestrial distance and almost without any loss. With these stupendous possibilities in sight, with the experimental evidence before me that their realization was henceforth merely a question of expert knowledge, patience and skill, I attacked vigorously the development of my magnifying transmitter, now, however, not so much with the original intention of producing one of great power, as with the object of learning how to construct the best one. This is, essentially, a circuit of very high self-induction and small resistance which in its arrangement, mode of excitation and action, may be said to be the diametrical opposite of a transmitting circuit typical of telegraphy by Hertzian or electromagnetic radiations. It is difficult to form an adequate idea of the marvelous power of this unique appliance, by the aid of which the globe will be transfor" Margaret Cheney: "The eminent Yugoslav physicist, Dr. Aleksandar Marincic, points out that today when we have proof of the Earth's resonant modes and know that certain waves can propagate with so little attenuation that standing waves can be set up in the earth-ionosphere system, "we can judge how right Tesla was when he said that the mechanism of electromagnetic wave propagation in 'his system' was not the same as Hertz's system with collimated radiation." In his introduction to Tesla's Colorado Springs Notes, Dr. Marincic observes that the scientist could not, however have known "that the phenomena he was talking about would only become pronounced at very low frequencies"; and he surmises that further study of Tesla's writings "will reveal some interesting details of his ideas in this field." The diary especially throws light on his part in the development of radio, and there is no longer a question of his mastery of wireless transmission as early as 1893." (Man Out Of Time…)"[The theft of Nikola Tesla's research papers and notes… which… when we include within this act 'under-false-pretenses-gotten'… and when we consider Nikola's sudden and increasing secretiveness about his work beginning in the 1920s and continuing thereafter… the theft likely began well before his death in 1943… when all his remaining papers were removed from his apartment… disappeared… we may be certain… into the hands of the global-statesmen… this theft meant his work could not be replicated outside of the research laboratories of the global-state… The duplicity of the 'power'-guys is not something we-of-good-heart are equipped to deal with… which is why we have to simply end this system… we have the means…]

I hope every week to find that the pressure of our questions as to what really caused the death of Prince will force the release of some further statement… and until that happens I continue to encourage folks to demand the full autopsy and police investigation findings… There is absolutely no doubt that they fabricated the 'cause of death' for the 'official' consumption of us… The more we listen to and learn about him… the less we're able to be manipulated by these lies… No matter how carefully he tried to establish clearly to all of us that he didn't allow drugs in or around him - no one ever saw him take any… no one I'm sure except an agent. Right after the murder I read that Arsenio Hall sued Sinead O'Connor for claiming he provided drugs to Prince - lying on him… along with the 'story' being boosted up by the 'power'-fed media… screams "this is an agent…" - never doubt the 'power'-guys hoped to have nobody around him but false folks… (Much as we would like to think we can detect falseness in others… the reality is… we can't…) This is the world we got… with hidden-'power'-guys planning for Fascism for some time - they can call it 'totalitarianism'… they can call it 'Plato's Dream'… but if we are forced to obey or get blasted with EMF weapons… or murdered in some other way… and if we are not allowed access to alternative views… that's Fascism… There is no 'consent' of 'the governed' when dissent is eliminated… This is obvious - we got Fascism… we need to take this seriously. It isn't just this country… it is a global system of 'power'… I've been struggling… - like Henry Kissinger… you might want to revisit the radio show of August 14, 2016 during which we read his 'memo' about the blasting of the U.S. Embassy in Moscow with electro-magnetic force energy and its lethal effects… - and I'm really hoping we have folk… in addition to folks pressuring about the murder of Prince… we have folks who can 'whistle-blow' a bit if only by sharing their expert knowledge as to what exactly these guys are doing with Nikola's work… more precise information about the delivery of this pain… how exactly is it done?… The more knowledgable we become… added to pressure on the state to reveal what it is doing… what it has… the less able they are to continue the practice… the more the state is de-legitimized… the more our future is realized… bit by bit… although… when these 'power'-guys have to cop to what they've been doing… it ain't no more about 'bit-by-bit'… it's "we're in it… it has flipped…" and it's going to happen that suddenly because Freedom's gonna taste too good to want to go back… and once it's known that the state has been clandestinely killing 'its' own 'citizens'… we don't go back… at that moment we are looking at each other and saying: "OK I know how to organize this…" "I know how to organize that…" (True wealth… uncoerced energy…) "We'll start local… we'll connect our resources globally… This is gonna be fun…"

Proudhon: “The mother of poverty, crime, insurrection, and war was inequality of conditions, which was the daughter of property, which was born of selfishness, which was engendered by private opinion, which descended in a direct line from the autocracy of reason. Man, in his infancy, is neither criminal nor barbarous, but ignorant and inexperienced [I'm arguing that we didn't start out that way… ignorant… but that 'class'… the form of non-society called 'rule'… 'hierarchy'… makes us so… to keep us so… – P.S.]. Endowed with imperious instincts…” [once again… we are reminded to thank Alice… among other things for the insight that we do not question that which is a continuation of childhood… and… again… we must insist… that the 'class'-bound human is not definitive of what 'the human' is… We are not just 'more than this'… we are 'not this'… The contagion of fear of The Few… though it took millennia to… has infected the world… and the world must work together… to end the sickness… and reclaim our true endowment as humans… in which I do not see 'Imperious'… – P.S.] Kropotkin: “For thousands of years in succession, to grow one's food was the burden, almost the curse of mankind. But it need be so no more. If you make yourselves the soil, and partly the temperature and the moisture which each crop requires, you will see that to grow the yearly food of a family, under rational conditions of culture, requires so little labour that it might almost be done as a mere change from other pursuits. If you return to the soil, and co-operate with your neighbors instead of erecting high walls to conceal yourself from their looks; if you utilise what experiment has already taught us, and call to your aid science and technical invention, which never fail to answer to the call – look only at what they have done for warfare – you will be astonished at the facility with which you can bring a rich and varied food out of the soil. You will admire the amount of sound knowledge which your children will acquire by your side, the rapid growth of their intelligence, and the facility with which they will grasp the laws of Nature, animate and inanimate…”

Prince… like the 'power'-guys… though on the flip side to them… is very concerned about what goes into the heads of the children… because they are literally 'the future'… and… from 'power's perspective… if you can get them to believe… of what they're born into… that "there is no alternative"… then you have cemented that future in place… So… we're going to have to loosen that hold that 'power' has over our minds and the minds of our children… My son and I were discussing metaphors for 'power' recently - comparing 'the vampire' and 'the Mr. Smith virus 'with one that Prince uses: 'the spider'… and the spider web… and my son thought that the advantage of the first two is that they capture the truth that you don't know that it's happening to you… that you are being absorbed… but that… if you fly into a spider's web you immediately know it and you struggle to get out… but then we thought… what if you're born into that web?… then it's a different matter isn't it?… and then… if everyone is telling you that this discomfort you feel is "just the way it is…" advises you to seek psychiatric help because you can't seem to move freely in this medium… and you're asking "what is going on?"… and everybody ignores you… then that might make it a better metaphor than we first thought…

 

[“160925thesanctityoftwoyearoldspaces_2.mp3”:]

 

'The truth'… love… freedom… caring for one another… asking what unifies us as a global humanity - Prince was able to go to the heart of the dilemma of our being trapped 'subjects' under 'class' because he had freed himself from both material and psychic insecurity. His gifts allowed him to possess an authentic allegiance… and so an authentic intelligence (and an independent thought-process produces the same result in answer to the question: "Why are we still not free?…") he was completely aware that he owed no state for them and that to keep them… his gifts… he must remain true to their source: universal energy… universal love… the eternal - that the state comes down on your ass for that is a problem that's only solved when we have each other's back… To the child who arrives and does not see his or her body's truth reflected in the world around her… a profound fear… we have said… begins to settle into him: "what is true and what isn't? If expressing my true feelings causes my parents to turn away from me… I am lost… and if my parents force me to suppress my true feelings… then I am lost…" The child can't move… his feelings and thoughts are frozen… for whatever she chooses… she loses… or so it seems - loses either the love of the false world constructed around him… or loses his place in eternity… his true connections and sources of power… and ultimately… her unique gifts… ("the values we want her to have…") I'm stuck on that phrase as I read it because… I mean… she's talking about emotions and a thought-process that her child 'must' have: "love for her community…" - what if 'her community' doesn't love her?… Unless we allow our children to experience the world on their own terms… and form their own thoughts (this was the battle Prince was fighting… apparently alone…) their own impressions… trust their own feelings… then… unconsciously… they are lost… they are asking: "What am I here for?… you've done all my thinking for me… you've thought through the whole thing… and I'm just here to be a robot… and… dutifully regurgitate the thoughts you give me to think… - P.S.]…

I feel such a sense of urgency about this (the sanctity of two-year-old psychic spaces…) - no judgement however… I've been there… As I said to my son recently… if it were not for the gift of being able to hang out with two-year-olds at the 'Tot-lot' when my grandson was two… I might not have seen this myself… We are so conditioned to dismiss babies and infants… to look at them as 'blank sheets' or 'lumps of clay' that we can just pound into any shape we want… when they are 'truth' embodied… they are links to the eternal… they come with the truth to share with us… and it is urgent that we start listening… that we start devoting time to being with them on their own terms… silently… letting them teach us…

So if the individual is the basic unit of 'political' organization… what do we do together as we determine to get there?… to let Freedom have now its chance to live… Authority - we are so through with Authority… we've given it thousands and thousands of years… we want our Freedom back… please?… My hope is that we 'composite' our individual analyses of what resources are needed on our 'Global Days of Freedom Planning"… our One-Day Global General Work Stoppages… planning that eventually carries over to our Life of Freedom… our world of re-claimed global humanity… based in non-coercion…To begin with we'll need outdoor places to gather… food to share… comfort… music… joyousness and dance thought about in advance… (although we shall have to factor in 'power's theft of Nikola Tesla's weapon (I hope people are 'googling' "Nikola Tesla's particle beam weapon…" This is really really important. I've noticed more and more articles in the New York Times about the automotive company 'Tesla'… there's been a whole flood of them… Let's get our flood going: "Nikola Tesla's particle beam weapon…" - and while we're at it… his knowledge of how to make rain available wherever it's needed… Nikola Tesla has a whole slew of inventions he created for us to be free… which 'power' has suppressed to keep us in slavery… So we're going to have to push back hard right now… because they have the 'lock-down-in-slavery' thing well under way. We do not want to continue this mess. We want to live 'Big' like Prince… I so love this man… there's no one like him… I'm just am completely floored… and… dismayed with myself… for not knowing… it's just unaccountable to me… My son says 'stop saying it…' But… how could some one so 'big'… on the same path as me… doing the same work as me… using different tools to be sure… slightly different strategy… perhaps… I'm still exploring it… - side-by-side tracks never cross… Anyway…

Still no mention about the results of the police investigation into the murder of Prince… which we know has to be very very telling… as well as no word about the full results of the autopsy… Perhaps folk more local have received more information and it just hasn't reached the New York Times… if so… I hope somebody will clue me in… otherwise we'll just have to keep mentioning the radio show of August 14, 2016 in which we learned that Henry Kissinger himself (twenty or so years after the fact) addressed the question of EMF bombardment of the US Embassy in Moscow in the fifties… acknowledging its potentially lethal and definitively physiologically damaging effects… i.e.… acknowledging the possession and use of Nikola Tesla's particle beam weapon among the 'super-powers' - the global-state-statesmen. Henry!… your original memo was in 1976… its time to issue a new one to the people of the world alerting us to the dangers from attacking people with EFM weapons… [The juxtaposition between 'us'… frozen in a moment at age two or three… and we stuck in someone else's dream… century after century… stuck in their story of Abandonment and Loss… stuck in the lie that there must be a divide… within us… and without - …The Outer from the Inner Derives its Magnitude… allows us to understand the significance of our dictum: "the individual must be the basic unit of 'political' organization… in the Freedom… and in the transition to it…" We revere our prophets (who necessarily are prophets of 'class'…) because they model this for us… show us what we must do and be… to end 'power'… for Ever.…- P.S.](I hope folks are able to follow this digression within a digression within a digression… because one thought led to another. In order to unpack and understand and challenge Proudhon's argument that we can see the origins of 'class' (or 'power' … the lust for 'rule'…) in the human's 'power of reflection'… we brought in Karl Popper to provide some of the historical context… Popper… because he felt he could not brush off as simple propaganda what he considered to be Plato's sincere concern to help the rulers (particularly of Athens) find some way out of their incessant mutual rending of each other… went to some trouble to explain the social context for Plato's concern. So Popper wanted to explain the context in which Plato arose… And it occurred to me that Alice Miller (particularly) and Proudhon are better equipped to explain Plato… and what happens to the individual's thought-process when exposed to the kind of turbulence that Alice describes for us that happens to the two- and three-year old when they are not respected… and when violence and coercion is imposed on them.…

 

[“160925howprophetscameamongus_6.mp3”:]

 

Popper: “In view of all this [Popper's demonstration that Plato's definitions of 'justice' and 'happiness' are totalitarian], it seems to be a consistent and hardly refutable interpretation of the material to present Plato as a totalitarian party-politician, unsuccessful in his immediate and practical undertakings, but in the long run only too successful in his propaganda for the arrest and overthrow of a civilization which he hated. But one only has to put the matter in this blunt fashion in order to feel that there is something seriously amiss with this interpretation… I therefore began to search for evidence which would refute this interpretation.… The new material made the identity between Platonism and totalitarianism only the more manifest.… In the light of my new interpretation, it appears to me that Plato's declaration of his wish to make the state and its citizens happy is not merely propaganda. I am ready to grant his fundamental benevolence. ['Benevolent'… defined as: “well-meaning and kindly… from the Latin 'bene' 'well' and 'velle' 'to wish'… is a subjective judgment… and 'kindly' might be stretched to fit in its old usage of 'courteous'. Popper has appended a note (at the back – page 293…) to his formulation that reads: “In my story there should be 'no villains… Crime is not interesting… It is what men do at their best, with good intentions… that really concerns us', I have tried as far as possible to apply this methodological principle to my interpretation of Plato.” [With Alice's elucidation of the psychological dynamics at work kept in view… we can see that what he terms Shaw's 'method' reads very like the psychological dynamics that Alice warns us are a soul-trap… in which the child tries to 'understand' the parent… To want one's parent to be happy is not 'benevolence'… it may well be the root of the malaise of 'class'… and all the twisted horrors it bore (But… as Prince is demonstrating… as Prince and his Rainbow Children are demonstrating and will demonstrate… it can also be the source of the solution to ending 'class'… and I hope we can think more about this… Is this a third possible path in our response to 'class' (to his or her parent's dilemma of suppressed rage…) when we're two or three… does it explain how prophets came among us?… to want one's parent to be happy… perhaps… can also be the source of the solution to ending 'class'… it may be so on a deep… if not deepest… level… Let's think about it.

 

[“160925istosuppressauthenticrage_7.mp3”:]

 

(And by 'third path'… away from the horror of generalized unhappiness that we perceive when we arrive… eventually… and perhaps comes to a head around age two… Alice Miller says that it's a mistake when the child begins to try to 'get on the same side' with the parent… and we've argued that that is in fact 'getting on the same side with the state'… but… in the case of a very insightful… or… what's the right word?… a very deep-seeing child… who may in fact see beneath the facade that the parent presents… for some reason or other… to the heart of the matter… then… is it possible to get on the side of the parent's suppressed true self?…) Alice Miller: “This is an example of the unrelenting, tragic nature of the unconscious compulsion to repeat. Its positive function must not be overlooked, however. Would it not be much worse if the parents' pedagogical aims were fully realized and it were possible successfully and irreversibly to murder the child's soul without this ever coming to public attention?… Repetition is the language used by a child who has remained dumb, his only means of expressing himself. A dumb child needs a particularly emphatic partner if he is to be understood at all. Speech, on the other hand, is often used less to express genuine feelings and thoughts than to hide, veil, or deny them, and thus to express the false self. And so there often are long periods in our work with our patients during which we are dependent on their compulsion to repeat – for this repetition is then the only manifestation of their true self [and it may be that the baby and the infant accurately… like Alice herself… perceives and understands that the repetition of the compulsion is the 'true self' speaking… You know… we've been so misled about what the baby and infant is… they are completely brilliant… - P.S.]. It lays the basis for the transference, and also for the whole mise en scene of the patient's field of interaction, which in the literature is described as acting out and is often met with mistrust.”… [forgiveness comes with adequate consciousness… to be sure (I know that children are often encouraged to 'understand' the parent as an expression of some higher good or benevolence on the child's part… told they are a more 'noble' person for doing so… Alice has shown us that that is in fact a lie… Rather… doing that is just continuing to suppress one's authentic rage at one's experience of being treated abusively… So… no… it is not authentic 'forgiveness' when one doesn't understand what's going on in reality… when one doesn't have the right story…)… but 'understanding' those who hurt us… is but a steamer trunk to one going under… – P.S.]

What is happening to Hillary is a warning to her – “we will not let you become president… so what you gonna do?” – I imagine they've been giving her such warnings for some time… which is why I'm so impressed with her courage… The 'power'-guys have seen that we will allow them to 'pick our president' (in a blatant sense) once (conservatively…) they can only conclude that we will so do again… Don't you think the question is now up for more and more of us here in the U.S.: if 'power' doesn't reside in elected officials or CEOs… if Presidents and Secretaries of State and Supreme Court Justices can be dispensed with at the whim of a handful of shadow global-statesmen - no muss no fuss… no questions asked – then… how much longer can we pretend this isn't Fascism? Let's not forget our oft-cited and discussed Lester Crocker quote – reiterated by Diana Spearman and Erich Fromm – that 'democracy' and totalitarianism are not opposites… and that 'class' is their nexus… Fromm adding that public opinion is easily crafted (and so election outcomes…) An illustration from today's (September 15, 2016) New York Times: an article titled “Unsavory Side of Free Wi-Fi Spurs Retreat” which says that free wi-fi in New York City led to “people lingering for hours, sometimes drinking and doing drugs and, at times, boldly watching pornography on the sidewalks…” (Question: Do you think people can be paid to do such things?… do you think agents can be made to do such things?… This is called "the coerced-work-system-is-the-shadow-global-state"… This is called "they have all of us in their pocket when they manufacture 'scarcity'…" When we have to go to a Keeper to eat… that's Fascism folks… The global-state-statesmen are amassing 'power' to realize a vision that they have…) – so the free Internet access was shut down. Once you accept the reality of a crafted world… using resources hoarded for the purpose of making happen what you want to happen so the Few can remain ever 'on top' and 'in control'… once you see this: the motive… means… and mission… you see them… the 'power'-guys… And you see how easily… until we see them… we get played… because we're atomized and can see only to the next bill that needs to be paid… and they are organized and have the full global picture… and where they're going… ever before their eyes…Repeatedly we have been told by the ancestors – particularly by Proudhon and Kropotkin… - that the true wealth is Association… not only because in association we share the suppressed truths that free us – freeing first our minds and then our bodies… – but because freedom is the only wealth that means anything… that feeds the soul… allows us to feed each other… and so continuously re-seeds freedom… so… without each other… we can't get free of the deeply-soul-lost… highly-organized… Tribe of Plato. Prince was sent to bring the love being suppressed in the world (Prince came with work to do. There is a sign on my car and on the back of the book Waking Up: Freeing Ourselves From Work: "No one else can tell you what work you're here to do…" - a useful summary of the solution and the problem: other people have been telling us what our work is… and that is a recipe for Fascism… when they have hoarded all the resources for themselves… - that is not just a recipe… that is Fascism…) he wasn't very far along with this assignment before the 'power'-guys butted up against him… They understood why he was such a threat… though it was a bit before he did… I suspect… it was precisely because he was not talking violence-bitterness-and-grievance… but rather because he was talking love… he was asking “what unifies us?”… and because he was talking to the next generation… talking to youth… and the 'power'-guys knew… if he grabbed them… the children… then he would have taken from them the future they'd planned on: their intended unshakable hand of Totalitarianism… what we now understand is that facing 'power's hidden-hand is facing “Socrates' Dilemma”… i.e.… the difficulty of reaching those most in need of the prophesy… the prophesy that we are here to be free… to love one another and establish a world of peace… mutual help… and harmony - all of which require the absence of coercion…

The power of One: “Release It!” – It really doesn't matter what anyone else does… the power of One releases the power of All… because we're all connected… and this is how we re-energize… re-vitalize… each other (Prince is clearly trying to help us do this: find our voices… listen to our inner voice and send it out into the world for our Brothers and Sisters to hear…) The solution according to Prince is truly living-loving (one word… and although the 'sexy' part of it is central… because respect for and honoring the body is key… it needs to be discussed… I think… among us… (…because this is one of those… points… guaranteed… that 'power' will try to use against us… it's what they do… - points of potential vulnerability to 'power's tactic of infiltration and undermining… I mentioned to my son yesterday that the moment these 'power'-guys heard a Sister in Tahir Square say… during the Egyptian Revolution… that it was the first time she walked the streets with her Brothers and felt safe… felt loved… and that's the kind of love Prince is talking about… The 'power'-guys no sooner heard that than they sent their agents out to assault women… This is what they do and we have to be prepared for this… No coercion… as we've said… is at the heart of all we do… that requires a lot of discussion with our Brothers and Sisters… why don't we test the theory… which is a method… a strategy… and a 'way-of-being'… 'wholism'… 'live-love'… For inspiration let's listen to the man himself… I've posted the following two brief excerpts of an 1998 interview with him to the audio pages for these shows:

 

[“160918princesmethodoffeeling_4.mp3”:]

 

Prince is able to capture feeling – the feelings of authentic experiences – in sound… what does this mean for our healing?… for our confrontation with the abuse of 'class'?… for our confrontation with a lot of feelings that have been suppressed… for our understanding it authentically… and waking up? This feels true: Prince feels for us… captures lived… authentic… experience in sound… and plays it back to us… to help us remember… what that felt like… he honors what the body says… what the body feels… he honors our experience in our bodies… He listens… and we've been trained not to… So he's had to model this for us… Never got much thanks for that, did he?… the huge gift he was sent here to give… Prince's work of explanation of his method… "The Rainbow Children"… cannot but help us with the questions we've raised today… I suspect… we shall have to see… that in creating it Prince is inviting us into a mystery… where echoes meet echoes in the Great Hall of the Communal Mind… “The Rainbow Children”: my son tells me there's no point trying to interpret the story until we've listened to all of it… so I'll just post lyrics as we go… with each show…

 

[“160918continuouspressuretoexposeprincesmurder_5.mp3”:]

 

(Even though I only had that one album - Purple Rain - that one small group of songs to represent for Prince for thirty years… I realized recently that I never really listened to it… that the lyrics are really quite prophetic and cryptic… and I wonder if anyone asked him about them… because in my case I just danced to them… I didn't think… and that is a testament to the power of 'power's conditioning of us… its conditioning of us not to think… at all… And I'm gonna continuously encourage folk to not let them get away with murdering Prince. I mean it's such an obvious murder right?… keeping his body on hold for hours until they could bring in a guy who has these prescription drugs on him… from L.A.… before they called the police… - it could not be more obvious that there has been suppression of a murder here… and a murder-in-the-making for decades… You can live with a continuous EMF assault… it does wear you down however… and it does kill you… in various ways… depending on the intensity of the wave… the type of wave… the particular frequency and the type of EMF… They've been playing with this forever [it seems…] - it's their obsession: figuring out how to kill us secretly. This is their preoccupation. Our preoccupation is love… and making that live in the world… As Prince has said "love must rule us all…" - and not he alone says this… all the prophets of 'class' have that same message… So please keep pressuring… to whatever degree you can… for exposure of the truth around the circumstances of Prince's murder…)

Popper: “…When reading Thucydides we must never forget that his heart was not with Athens, his native city. Although he apparently did not belong to the extreme wing of the Athenian oligarchic clubs who conspired through the war with the enemy, he was certainly a member of the oligarchic party, and a friend neither of the Athenian people, the demos, who had exiled him, nor of its imperialist policy. (I do not intend to belittle Thucydides, the greatest historian, perhaps, who ever lived. But however successful he was in making sure of the facts he records, and however sincere his efforts to be impartial, his comments and moral judgements represent an interpretation, a point of view; and in this we need not agree with him.…) Thucydides writes: “Certain Athenians were privately making overtures to them” (i.e. to the Spartans) “in the hope that they would put an end to the democracy, and to the building of the Long Walls. But the other Athenians… suspected their design against democracy.” The loyal Athenian citizens therefore went out to meet the Spartans, but were defeated… “Nearly the whole Hellenic world,” writes Thucydides, “was in commotion. In every city, the leaders of the democratic and of the oligarchic parties were trying hard, the one to bring in the Athenians, the other the Lacedaemonians… The tie of party was stronger than the tie of blood… The leaders on either side used specious names, the one party professing to uphold the constitutional equality of the many, the other the wisdom of the nobility; in reality they made the public interest their price, professing, of course, their devotion to it. They used any conceivable means for getting the better of one another, and committed the most monstrous crimes… [I suspect that it is by reference to illustrations such as this of the amorality of 'rule'… that the present would-be gods justify their own monstrous crimes… – P.S.] This revolution gave birth to every form of wickedness in Hellas… Everywhere prevailed an attitude of perfidious antagonism. There was no word binding enough, no oath terrible enough, to reconcile enemies. Each man was strong only in the conviction that nothing was secure.” […Spartan methods] were dominated by the ultimate aim that dominated [its'] policy, by its attempt to arrest all change and to return to tribalism. (This is impossible, as I shall contend later on. Innocence once lost cannot be regained, and an artificially arrested closed society, or a cultivated tribalism…” [and here we must keep in mind that what he's talking about is the attempt of a self-organized band of 'rulers' – the contemporary iteration of which are the Plato's Tribesmen – to artificially impose 'tribalism' – which is what a society of rigid fixed 'class' divisions is an expression of… i.e. everyone confines their identity to 'their' narrow group… while the Plato's Tribesmen… it just so works out… remain forever on 'top': everyone 'plays their position' and is (artificially… because they are told they are… from infancy…) 'happy'… – the society is closed to change… to new ideas… to thought… to growth… – P.S.]”

Prince: “…But how can we explain the fact that outstanding Athenians like Thucydides stood on the side of reaction against these new developments? Class interest is, I believe, an insufficient explanation; for what we have to explain is the fact that, while many of the ambitious young nobles became active, although not always reliable, members of the democratic party, some of the most thoughtful and gifted resisted its attraction. The main point seems to be that although the open society was already in existence, although it had, in practice, begun to develop new values, new equalitarian standards of life, there was still something missing, especially for the 'educated'. The new faith of the open society, its only possible faith, humanitarianism, was beginning to assert itself, but was not yet formulated. For the time being, one could not see much more than class war, the democrats' fear off the oligarchic reaction, and the threat of further revolutionary developments. (and hasn't that always been the case: that those who 'rule' use violence… stimulated by themselves… to coerce us into accepting their terms… which is 'rigid… fixed… "class" divisions… the closed society… So folks couldn't see much further beyond this continuous violence… created by the 'power-guys'…)” We began our 'compare and contrast' into the origins of 'class'-as-a-system side-track into Karl Popper because Proudhon is… it seems to me… locating it in some almost necessary historical process that led to a 'mind - body' split… associated with what is called the 'Western'-bend of human society (under 'class'…) He's laying blame for the 'moral evils' it generates at the feet of the human's (under 'class'…) 'power of reflection…' He will be qualifying this by describing it as a "power of reflection put initially at odds with 'instinct' (our bodies…) until the thought-process moves beyond this first step and continues to grow. We have been arguing (with Alice…) that fear in infants that comes from being confronted with a 'reality' that denies the truth they were born with - that we are all One - and… viscerally… from being forced to obey… which freezes the thought-process in place… and also (with Emily…) that "the Outer from the Inner Derives its Magnitude…" or… 'power' makes 'society' in its own image… i.e.… based on the contours of its own poor soul… its frozen thought-process… We will be returning to Proudhon after a our long digression into the heart of the malaise… or the misconception… or the 'moral evil' called 'class' – contemporary illustrations of this truth being too numerous to count let's let the glaring insanity of the murder of our great global treasure in our movement to freedom – Prince – out of the fear and the hatred of love… on the part of those who lust for 'rule'… stand for all of them…

Prince: “…I don't gauge success based upon the way other people gauge success… this isn't about SoundScan and C-SPAN and all that… this is about our plan… this is about what we believe now… If you ask any artist the music is a success upon creation… when you give it to somebody like a Rolling Stone or a Vibe and they start critiquing it… then your perception changes… but that's looking through somebody else's eyes… So… again… we gauge success based upon what we feel in our hearts… We've shut our minds off now… minds should be used for what they were made for: filing cabinets… We think with our hearts…” [From a 1998 interview…]

His whole life Prince has been the one to take great risks… for us… to light the way… for us… And when… those he stood up to hit him hard… he just stepped it up… his game… his music… his critique… his visual and musical… physical and spiritual… representation… for us… of freedom… He modeled 'the real' in a sea of inauthenticity… he showed us how to be vulnerable… to grieve… to heal the soul… to own the longing we feel to merge with another… with each other… with the eternal. He's shown us how to be righteous… He's done this work alone… There's no other like him… I didn't know all this… because I was too busy being none of these things… too busy trying to be the one that exposes hidden-'power'… but don't get me wrong… I had help missing him… these past seven years have been a dance on the primed hot coals laid for me… a trial by fire… one long continuous physical and psychic assault designed to keep me too busy jumping… running… lashing back like a snarling dog backed into a corner… to even think about living… Prince never let them do that to him… he never let them stop him from fully loving… fully living… He was vulnerable and tender despite them… despite their vicious efforts to stop him… kill his spirit… I was not up to his standard… but who could be… really? Prince never let them do that to him… he never let them stop him from fully loving… fully living… He was vulnerable and tender despite them… despite their vicious efforts to stop him… kill his spirit… I was not up to his standard… but who could be… really? I ask for your forgiveness Prince… There's no excuse for what I did… my lapse of heart… my failure of love… Though it may not matter… I have so much love for you it will fuel my reply to what they did for many many lifetimes…

I am beginning to think that when Prince came to Oakland a month or so before he was murdered by the folks who have been torturing him for decades… he was reaching out to me in the only way he could… given the vast gap in our circumstances… I knew… I'd said as much on the radio show… that he was being targeted… but I did nothing… I didn't try to help him… and these false folks had so constructed things that there was no way he could initiate any contact for mutual cooperation… His whole life was made a life of fighting-back… I could have been at least a psychic friend in that… but I was too busy with my neediness… to let that sink in… If I had erred on the side of 'heart' I think I could have saved his life… by throwing a big spotlight on the extraordinary heroism of his suffering and resistance… With just a little bit of heart I could have seen this… that we are comrades in spirit… I could possibly have preserved his life thereby… preserved this treasure for all of us… We can only do what's right… he has shown us… and when we fail to defend that 'right'… the cost cannot be measured… These sad people will do what they will… as he has said… but if we all determine to live as he did: fiercely defending our 'selves'… these people will simply cease to exist… in that instant… they will be gone.

 

[“160911boostupprinceandnikola_3.mp3”:]

 

Prince fought this battle with the hidden-'state' – fought the physical and psychic battery inflicted on him – for well over 30 years… He fought back in the only way he could (until we make it safe… with the help of Nikola Tesla… to discuss it openly as an established threat…): through his music… but as we have not made it 'safe' for those who are being targeted to come forward publicly and receive support in ending the mistreatment… the thirty years of torture necessarily he endured in some measure alone… because no one knew how to defend him against it… and perhaps didn't know of it… but this is a different moment we are living through… Though it should not be so… we have the evidence of his body and we have the results of the police investigation… and we have Nikola Tesla… if we boost discussion of both way up… both lives skewed by the line of EMF… both caught in that line… both messed with… and hurt… by the 'power'-guys… both needing us in this moment o raise them up… so they can free us of the mind-chains of millennia… breathe finally the air of freedom… boosting them up will expose the cover-up… lies… and distortion… that sought to rob us of them both… With the exceptions of family members… who I can only assume are being lied-to and played… since I do not hear them speaking out for him… anyone at the so-called funeral – given the secrecy in which the evidence of his body is kept – can only be 'power'-placed / paid / and played… can only be false-folks deeply planted in his life. As we discussed in a previous show… this tactic of deep-planting did not begin with Richard Aoki… In this moment doing what should have been done to preserve his life… will raise the discussions that expose the true nature of the state… and call the question of our right to lives free of coercion… When you have found true power your whole being exposes the lie of 'the system'… but 'the story' is everything: how you frame your true power is everything… in terms of 'power' either staying hidden or being exposed… The 'power'-guys have been -- right in front of our eyes weeding out the 'recalcitrant brutes' and encouraging the 'tame ones'… for ten thousand years and more… but we have yet to discuss it - what better evidence for our slavery exists than that they have the technology for controlling us happening in front of us - can dispose of us at will - and we never discuss it or them… let alone sound the alarm with each other… Because these Tiny Few are broken they seek to break us… because they are frozen they try to freeze us… To protect themselves… to stay hidden… these Most Broken Few have arranged things (reliving their childhood trauma…) such that - they will tell us – we cannot know what's real and what isn't… what's true and what isn't… And when we're stuck in the details they constructed for the purpose of keeping us stuck… this may be the case… but when we embrace our Big Justice: that we are not made for any kind of coercion… but rather just the opposite… that we are made for mutual aid and cooperation… then this we know for certain: we must be rid of the mindset of 'power' for Authentic Life to begin (again…) for the heartless manufacture of suffering to end… we must get our own bodies back… and as we do… Poof!… they are gone… The pain is endless until the 'power'-guys put down their funky weapon and leave us alone… and this feat will be achieved not by any action on our parts… but by our inaction… for one inaugural day – that brings about many others – of work cessation… spirit-recreation… and savoring… savoring the taste of freedom.

'The story' is everything… without the right story how do we know our lives are being stolen… see the intentionality behind the theft… expose the hidden-global-statesmen lurking behind 'appearances'… the appearance of 'happenstance'?… and so put the abuse of us in its proper perspective… It takes time to figure out the artificial construction called 'class'. I've posted the following audio-excerpt from an interview with Prince to the audio pages for these shows… I wonder at what point Prince… in his hidden battle with the hidden shadow-global-state… realized he was being targeted because he thought authentically… (and as to the symptoms you experience when you rise from 'sleep' after having been tortured for hours… Prince perfectly captures the feeling of that experience with that slowed-down voice…)

 

[“160911weneedthefullresistanceofprince_5.mp3”:]

 

I wonder at what point Prince… in his hidden battle with the hidden shadow-global-state (it's a global shadow state… the 'Big Boys all work collaboratively…) I wonder when he realized that he was being targeted because he thought authentically… did not buy the lies with which we are bombarded… because he thought with… honored… his earth-endowment (his body) – and we have been arguing here that the thought-process only exists when it is authentic. (I am hoping to restore this force that is Prince not just to me but to all of us… because it was not I alone who missed the full picture / power of his resistance…)

 

[“160911ajourneytotheself_6.mp3”:]

 

Prince was targeted because he had an authentic thought process… he did not look to the state for the definition of who he was… he was given his power from the earth… he knew where it came from… he called it his 'higher power'… that he channeled through his body… He had an authentic thought-process and we've been arguing that the thought-process only exists when it is authentic. As infants (under 'class'… ) we all see the lies which surround us… but we form different conclusions about them… depending on an unmeasurable number of factors… Some… like me and Prince… because our parents were too enmeshed in their own mutual issues to bother much with those of their children's… conclude that the lies are the problem and we must expose them… Others conclude that for some unknowable reason the lies must be served… protected… furthered… bowed down to… self-abnegation became the price of our parents' false 'happiness'… or false stability… …but to honor the questions that come as to the reasons for all the lying… requires a journey to truth… which… as Prince says… with Alice… is a journey to the 'self'… the true 'self'… I'm quoting at length from the biographer of Nikola Tesla because in this excerpt we can see that only with the right story can we get unstuck from the mindset of 'class'… and advance to our freedom… Margaret Cheney: "It was clear to any trained observer, he said, that a new attitude toward sexual equality had come over the world, receiving an abrupt stimulus just before the first World War. Naturally he could not foresee that in the wake of the second World War women would again backslide and relinquish much more social and economic gain in a compulsion to procreate…" [We now see… that we along-for-the-ride subjects of the Most Damaged Few who gave birth to themselves from the head of Plato following the unseating of the aristocracy (in the aftermath of the French Revolution…) that things do not 'just happen'… these hidden 'power'-guys manipulate our lives behind scenes… – and this unseen but true 'reality' we all feel when we arrive and our brilliant bodies are forced to decide what to do with the malaise they feel all around us… when we arrive… – P.S.]

Nikola Tesla: “Through countless generations, from the very beginning, the social subservience of women resulted naturally in the partial atrophy or at least the hereditary suspension [and we know this is a 'class'-specific suspension… - P.S.] the hereditary suspension of mental qualities which we now know the female sex to be endowed with no less than men.… The acquisition of new fields of endeavor by women, their gradual usurpation of leadership," he said, "will dull and finally dissipate feminine sensibilities, will choke the maternal instinct, so that marriage and motherhood may become abhorrent and human civilization draw closer and closer to the perfect civilization of the bee.…” Margaret Cheney: “The perfect communal life of the bee was radical chic for the times, promising "socialized cooperative life wherein all things, including the young, are the property and concern of all… [this is straight-up Plato's Tribesmen-totalitarian-talk… - P.S.]. For years it had been rumored that Tesla had invented a powerful beam, a death ray, but he had been strangely uncommunicative on the subject. In early 1924 a flurry of news reports from Europe claimed that a death ray had been invented there - first by an Englishman, then by a German, and then a Russian. Almost at once an American scientist, Dr. T.F. Wall, applied for a patent on a death ray which he claimed would stop airplanes and cars. Then a newspaper in Colorado proudly retorted that Tesla had invented the first invisible death ray capable of stopping aircraft in flight while he had been experimenting there in 1899." The inventor was unusually noncommittal on the matter.…”

We have arrived back at the point Kropotkin made when we first consulted him (we posted as a pdf excerpts from some of his essays the first of which discussed this…) one that keeps recurring and has appeared in various forms in various ways along our circuitous exploration of the requirements needed… for us to get our freedom: the question of the 'efficient' use of energy… and in particular our human energy… Alice Miller has discussed it as a return to vitality -- a renewed ability to access one's vital energy… of those almost hypnotically conditioned to suppress it -- with the reacquisition of the 'authentic self'… Nikola Tesla addresses the issue of human energy 'efficiency' in terms of removing the obstacles in the way of our freedom. Kropotkin and Proudhon view the matter in a way analogous to both Alice and Nikola: our energy is being repressed… a state which is enormously energy-inefficient – because we are not here to be… do not exist to be… 'managed'… and the more awake we are the less 'governable' (read: 'expensive' for 'power') we become… So… we have to multiply their tasks… their 'containment chores'… the fronts on which they must confront us… Let's make their 'control issues' pop in every nation and region… let's make their experience of them so numerous… and so onerous… that they decide -- now rather than sooner -- to get on board… join us on Prince's dance floor… while we get busy being free… doing what comes naturally… making certain that making love and beauty's the only thing we see… We must no longer let their fear establish the conditions for our lives…

The murder of Prince is a blow that will reel me forever… but the model and strategy of Prince is a gift the depths of which… despite our grief… we must plumb in this moment… because they lead to our freedom'. As we start to spread these discussions about our body's need for the absence of coercion – and how devastating coercion is on the psyche of the child… we gain the clarity we need to engage the questions our Brothers and Sisters ask as to how it is that the uncensored expressing of one's feelings puts us on a collision course with the hidden-'state'. Prince captured our hearts… but also our imagination… in sharing his… he expands our possibilities… He can imagine going places nobody else can… musically and in terms of the transformation of society through the expression of suppressed feelings… And many of us are not even aware (as Alice Miller discusses…) the degree of our suppression until we see Prince… We need to get his music out far and wide so we can imagine 'bigger' with him… He captured what should be… and isn't… or will be and isn't yet… He refused them… and instead became the defender of that which 'rule' is set against… set to suppress: our human spirit of freedom… He helps us to see the 'roles'… see the boxes… see the absurdity of the assignments… see the coerciveness and corrosiveness behind the whole project of 'assigning us'… He shows us that it is possible to "re-define one's identity"… an education… a modeling… for us… which became ever more politically astute the more he was punished for it… He came to understand… and to show us… that seizing the power of redefinition… when pursued relentlessly… brings the 'power' of the state down on your head.But most of us do not attain this quality of 'distancing from' the state… because of an unconscious identification with the parent… a parent who forfeited their authentic 'self'… and so tell themselves… "Well… I have to work…" Until we can discuss that we are owned when we do not give to ourselves 'the work' that sets the course for our lives… then… it will be difficult to intervene authentically in defense of our 'wholeness'… Until we can admit… as did Prince… stepping back and viewing his situation objectively (which is getting on the same side with yourself… and turning away from 'the system's - which begins to provide to our conscious mind the 'right story'… on which we can build an authentic self'… until we do… it will be difficult to see the hidden-coercion (which is how 'power' manifests itself…) difficult to imagine a different world based on abundance and the absence of force… Seeing the coercion means seeing the yoke… allowing us to start down a new road… Part of the process of getting free is engaging with children authentically… which means developing our language of freedom.

Nikola Tesla: “It was the artist, too, who awakened that broad philanthropic spirit which, even in old ages, shone in the teachings of noble reformers and philosophers, that spirit which made men in all departments and positions work not so much for any material benefit or compensation [but] for the pleasure there is in achieving it and for the good they might be able to do thereby to their fellow-men. Through his influence types of men are now pressing forward, impelled by a deep love for their study, men who are doing wonders in their respective branches, whose chief aim and enjoyment is the acquisition and spread of knowledge, men who look far above earthly things, whose banner is Excelsior! Gentlemen, let us honor the artist, let us thank him, let us drink his health!…” Those who have taken the time to listen to these shows know we are exploring in this space what gets in the way of our getting our freedom… we are attempting to identify these barriers and we've learned that while they are mainly mental… there are physical ones as well… and a critical one that has to be removed from the hands of the state is EMF weaponry. There is so much packed into those words of Nikola Tesla's that explain why a system of 'class' is a failed social arrangement that must be replaced with freedom. Discussing Prince in the context not just of his punishment with EMF and the silencing of his criticism… but in the context of what made him a threat – his 'big-ness' (he urges us to be 'big' with him…) – outs 'hidden-power'… de-legitimates (shrinks…) the state – hidden and official… [and] what has been called 'chem-trails' (what I'd assumed was another name for geo-engineering – which has received funding from Bill Gates…) are a spray of metal-particulates that enhance the effect (strength) of 'power's microwave stream… It was not only in low-income Minneapolis that such experiments (tests) were conducted… I read once in a posting on HAARP that Detroit also was a 'test-site' that received this particulate-spray as well.

…this means that Prince gained… at a very early age… an education only 'won' the 'hard-way'… and which… incorporated into his musical… poetic… and analytic gifts… catapulted him to the top of our 'Most Needed Asset for Securing Our Freedom' list… He learned that loving… listening to… and expressing your body's urgings unequivocally (without fear…) gets you 'in trouble' with the state… In “Computer Blue” when he says "please please tell me what the hell is wrong" I believe he's expressing this… and for the next thirty years plus he never stops expressing this. He had a unique gift of being able to express (document…) masterfully… in an extraordinarily compelling interweave of story… mood… sound… and song… what his body felt… what he saw and sensed going on around him… a gift that only increased as his musical and literary palette grew more extensive… Prince's entire life was about the confrontation with the rigid… unequivocal 'discipline' of 'the state-as-parent' – a presence in all of our lives under 'class' but generally hidden behind buffers… the confrontation Prince experienced was extremely coercive and violent… but invisible except for the effects in his body: a physical… wave bombardment that could never be discussed… this… his very life… health… peace of mind… under 24 – 7 assault… and on this most important subject for his very physical and psychic survival… he could not speak in his voice… only in his music did he testify… and relied on our perspicacity and the truth to be established… in time…

He never will – this he communicated as well… clearly… in his songs from that point on.… Now later… the state would embrace open sexuality and improving the position of beat-down boxes (reducing social inequality…) such that this rhetoric is now featured prominently in the 'power'-fed media… 'Power' learned from him… in essence… how to contain him… Would he be considered a threat by 'power' if he entered the world of 'class' today… or been born on the Woodstock stage… as he put it? Without Alice it might be difficult to get: that while 'class' exists Prince for 'power'… poses a complete and total threat…

Prince was deemed a threat because they believed he 'tempted' young people to consider an alternative allegiance to an allegiance to the state. Put like this they 'justify' assaulting and killing whoever they choose… by categorizing their target as a so-called 'national security risk'. Prince suffered this extralegal punishment for over thirty years… during which… and increasingly so as his understanding and determination to resist grew… hidden 'power' tried to suppress and censor his work… keep him and his music from his audience… the people he truly was sent to serve – us… The alternative allegiance Prince presented is common to artists generally… which is why they are particularly at risk… I'm feeling a painful sense of urgency about the need to preserve Prince's legacy to us… We need to lift high those who rep for us… for life… else 'power' will sink them… In our May 15, 2015 show we asked what was the precipitating event to his murder… and we suggested in our May 1 show that he may have been about to release some powerful songs of resistance: songs which may reside in the Vault where he kept reportedly well over a thousand songs archived. Prince is not here to defend his legacy… and given the 'power'-guys continuous campaign of suppression of his most powerful critiques of 'the system' it falls to all who want to ensure that all his rich legacy to us is preserved intact… that none of it is suppressed. Let's press for a full inventory – including titles and lengths – of what he left in the Vault. And… though it may not be seen in the light that it stands in for me… I find I cannot stop thinking about the timing of his death: the coincidence with my being injured by an EMF stream that went into my left thigh and back (described in the April 24 show…) so if anyone has information about this that I've been pondering… please let me know. Is it possible he'd listened on occasion to the show?… to Waking Up Radio? Could he have seen my son and I when we went on Frank Moore's Vimeo internet show “The Shaman's Den” on July 29, 2012? If he had listened it would confirm his interest in outing the hidden practice of assaulting us with EMF weapons. Please let me know if he ever watched Frank Moore's show… and also of course if you know whether he ever listened to this radio show – if there was a 'Prince' listening to this show it would add an additional sense of urgency to the 'power'-guys obvious intention to silence this show…)

He provided visits to the eternal… the hypnotic effect of his music is such that he pulls you with him into it… Why is that not enough to answer 'Socrates' Dilemma'? My son's point… left unaddressed last week… was that Prince's music needs to be coupled with discussion… that 'people listen to music to get by… maybe questing but we need something paired with it so that our prophets are not killed… so that it's not about them. We need more people seeing their light… grieving for that lost child that was them…' But if it is so that 'people listen to music to get by…' this is a manifestation of 'power's pressure on them – unacknowledged… undiscussed… no one ever said to them… 'the system is abusive… based on coercion… which runs against our nature as humans…' –Moreover 'power' hold on us must necessarily grow less and less… our Good Three pointed this out in our discussions of Antisystemic Movements… and this is… in essence… the physical (in us) manifestation of all the 'Breakdown Theories' of Marx… Rosa Luxemburg… and Proudhon: 'power' is loosening its hold: we see this in its increasing reliance on violence - blatant coercion – to suppress us… though until we discuss it this may sound counter-intuitive… and as we discuss it… this opening… Prince's music enters at that opening and fills us up with longing for the real… His music surges rhythmically – like the earth it is part of – it pulses… throbs… it is the opposite of 'class'… Prince wanted to be the solution… I think he was more successful than he knew… The world has been made so false that the critical mass to flip it is building fast…

In one of his songs a disembodied voice tries to hypnotically condition him to remove the words 'me' and 'mine' (though it is true that all of under 'class' have been framed… shaped… by that story 'me and mine'… we have to create a new frame…) to remove those words from his vocabulary… Prince was way too hard on himself. When you are being hurt… and no one else sees… necessarily you focus on 'self' self-protectively… and necessarily the longing to be held becomes intense… because your hurt is never acknowledged… I'm struggling with a lot of anger at those who did this to him (and at myself for being 'survival-mode-heart-slow'…) but I think of it as one of Prince's messages to me… that one of the things I learned in exploring the meanings in "Thieves"… that there is no contradiction between love and fury (and recall Alice's point that no one is ever hurt by an emotion… it is these emotions that we have to own… acknowledge…) Jesus shows us this when he grabs the switch and drives out those who have corrupted our temple… the temple that is our bodies… our freedom… our inherent right to not be messed with… Hope is Truth… and vice versa… I believe is Shakespeare's point… his 'great justice'… under a system of 'class'… long overdue for collapse: …this is a system that requires an enormous amount of energy – which has only one 'prep-ready' source: us… we who take the energy of the earth and make it available to 'power' so it can continuously suppress us / life / freedom… n amount… this energy – that is to say… the amount of energy they need to keep 'control' of us steadily increases as… so you see time is on our side… as we get this ball rolling… as we remove our energy from them – as we stop making the sun's energy available to it… to suppress us with – and give it to each other… to the cause of freedom… the cost for them of repressing us… to try to contain it… goes way up… and eventually they cannot sustain their system of coercion… Freedom is cheap… Freedom as a global social arrangement is effortless… because we do it naturally…

I continue to urge those who love this man… Prince… to continue to press the media for more concrete facts (as opposed to planted innuendo…) about his death… answers to some of the questions we asked on the June 19, 2016 show… and to insist that we need an independent analysis of the autopsy findings and the results of the police investigation… when and how did this drug supposedly get into the body of this man who foreswore all drugs – whose body was his temple – and to figure out ways to get this widely discussed… I believe that most of us who love him know he was murdered… and those who come from his world must surely know that if this is not stopped when we have a better shot at doing that than has ever existed before… we are not just doing a disservice to Prince… we are doing a disservice to life itself… because a system of 'class' is based on the ability to enforce death – no movement… enforced obedience means 'soul-death'… a world peopled by automatons… which is what they've become because they experienced the most extreme versions of 'power's child-rearing practices… and we want to help them no less than ourselves get free of rigid fixed 'class' divisions… We have the means… its long-overdue… One last thing: I'm sure it did not escape you [we played his song “Let's Have a Baby”] how much Prince wanted that baby… who I believe was also murdered… so another way you can help in this righteous cause of outing the truth is to investigate whether a laser-weapon assaulting an in utero infant's skull could cause it to fuse…

Prince: “…I was so moved that I had to write this song… the other thing is that the first line of the song says that 'I was born on the same plantation of the United States of the Red White and Blue…' and we live in a place now that feels just about like a plantation… we're all indentured servants… when I found out there were eight presidents before George Washington I wanted to smack somebody… I wanted to know why I was taught otherwise… Just tell me the whole story… I'll fill in the blanks… but don't tell me something that you think I'm supposed to know…” [From a 2009 radio broadcast.]

Prince: “…What he [Dick Gregory, in a video called 'The State of Black America'] said affects all of us. He said something that really hit home about this phenomenon of 'chem-trails', and, you know, when I was a kid I used to see these trails in the sky all the time and you'd say 'Oh that's cool, a jet just went over,' and then you started to see a whole bunch of them, and the next thing you know everybody in your neighborhood was fighting and arguing and you didn't know why, Ok, and you really didn't know why, I mean everybody was fighting. So, he started riffing about the chem-trails, and he started to say some things that hit home so hard and I would recommend that everybody try to get what he said online or whatever, try to get a copy of it, and just listen to it, because I was so moved that I had to write this song…” [From a 2009 radio broadcast.]

D-Way: “What do you mean by 'authentic language'?…” The Raven: “'Earth-based'… For example… on the Left… often language is co-opted by a mistaken urge to be 'scientific'… What I'm saying is that in order to unify and in order to free ourselves from the conditioning of this system which is designed to take our earth away… we have to re-claim earth… it's really quite simple and basic… if we stop and think about it… which jobs don't allow us to do… which is what they're for… and with not enough of the populace locked down in a job… 'power' is trying to figure this one out… and this is a rare and very important opportunity that we have to seize… So… 'earth-based is my short answer to your question… that… when we start talking about 'what future we want'… we have to… little by little start re-connecting with the earth… and say… for example… 'ok… I'm looking around where I'm standing… I see way too much concrete… how are we going to feed ourselves?…' But to start I think it's enough to know -- and the Occupy Movement I'm very grateful to for many reasons but particularly for showing how quickly we can begin again… instantaneously because we're alive… and this is what we do… So… instantaneously we can begin creating that alternative that is in alignment with the earth if we start aligning ourselves with the earth… It is about saying 'we're done with this system…' I think… and the inability to say that that is holding us back…” [From our July 29, 2012 radio broadcast.]

…and… by the way… more and more I'm convinced… because this is what I've experienced… that while they may have drones that can dispense EMF… the drones are mainly used for surveillance… precision-targeting… and for intercepting or interrupting wireless transmissions – i.e.… for plausible deniability… and to instill in us a false sense of the 'power'-guys supposed omnipotence… but that the main 'delivery-mechanism' for EMF-assault is elsewhere – an 'above' 'elsewhere'. This is what Leuren Moret says in her article, “The Historical Roots of the New World Order and Its Permanent War Economy…” She tells us that as early as 1952 “a secret meeting was held in New Mexico between Russian and U.S. scientists at the Sandia Lab… [and that] an exchange of information on the biological hazards of microwave and electromagnetic frequencies and safety levels was not entirely successful… [that] shortly after the Russians began a thirty-year programme beaming the U.S. embassy in Moscow with microwaves, causing the deaths of three U.S. ambassadors and illnesses in employees…” So when are we going to demand full disclosure on this weaponry?… and is it not clear that the 'power'-guys operate globally… and use states to keep us caged?

The structural backbone of the crafted falseness (smallness of spirit…) of this global 'class'-system – manifested in 'economics'… in 'politics'… in what we are told is our 'human nature' – is material insecurity: manufactured scarcity… another name for the enforced atomization they impose on us (and we're exploring that connection today…) 'Hidden-power' is this crafted smallness… its 'hidden-ness' is designed to conceal this point… that it has a goal: the 'meritocracy'… 'Perfection'… By their acts consistent with this objective they are outed… but we have been prevented from discussing the obvious… To 'achieve' a so-called 'meritocracy' – and thereby realize the vision of your 'OT' (Original Totalitarian) – what would you need? You would need Ideology – 'EPP' (Extreme Poisonous Pedagogy)… you would need 'TB' (Total Belief)… and you would need ATM (All The Money). The 'systems' for continuously delivering these things to them – and in an ever-increasing fashion – we can see have been achieved: extreme disparities in all three are not only clearly evident… they have replaced… if we are to judge by appearances only… the need for independent thought entirely… and are rapidly replacing the human being with the human machine – and their 'hidden-ness'… the speed of their actions… and our atomization… have defeated all attempts to discuss our feeling that we are being driven… rushed like cattle to slaughter…

The longing for freedom didn't start with us… and the theory of how to suppress it didn't start with them… to end 'class' we have to know how it began… at least its present totalitarian iteration… Karl Popper describes this longing for freedom as being manifested in 'the transition from the closed society to the open society'… Thucydides: “Nearly the whole Hellenic world was in commotion. In every city, the leaders of the democratic and of the oligarchic parties were trying hard, the one to bring in the Athenians, the other the Lacedaemonians… The tie of party was stronger than the tie of blood… The leaders on either side used specious names, the one party [for democratic Athenians] professing to uphold the constitutional equality of the many, the other the wisdom of the nobility; in reality they made the public interest their price, professing, of course, their devotion to it. They used any conceivable means for getting the better of one another, and committed the most monstrous crimes. This revolution gave birth to every form of wickedness in Hellas… Everywhere prevailed an attitude of perfidious antagonism. There was no word binding enough, no oath terrible enough, to reconcile enemies. Each man was strong only in the conviction that nothing was secure…” – and we must keep in mind that what he's talking about is the attempt of a self-organized band of 'rulers' – the current version of which are the Plato's Tribesmen – to artificially impose 'tribalism' – which is what a society of rigid fixed 'class' divisions is an expression of… i.e. everyone confines their identity to 'their' narrow group… while the Plato's Tribesmen… it just so works out… remain forever on 'top': everyone 'plays their position' and is (artificially… because they are told they are… from infancy…) 'happy'… – the society is closed to change… to new ideas… to thought… to growth… But once the quest for the open society… for freedom… begins… we cannot be turned from our determination to achieve it… – Jesus of Nazareth being one of the most potent examples of this…] John: “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved us. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also…” [And this brings us to our question for today: What is the route by which love for our freedom becomes the imperative for love for all my Brothers and Sisters?…]

Nikola Tesla: “All this energy emanates from one single center, one singe source – the sun. The sun is the spring that drives all. The sun maintains all human life and supplies all human energy… Another answer we have now found to the above great question: To increase the force accelerating human movement means to turn to the uses of man more of the sun's energy… [through his explanations in other writings we have gleaned… that he's asking… ultimately: what will increase the human energy that will get us free? This is our question as well… And we will be arguing that this creative energy for life is the kind of energy Prince speaks of when he talks about 'purple electricity' you know the kind you feel when you feel passion… when you feel love… when you feel powerfully connected to all life… – that it is this kind of energy that fuels creativity… fuels our freedom… But Nikola Tesla's inventions to free us were stolen and used to produce toxic energy… – P.S.] we honor and revere those great men of bygone times whose names are linked with immortal achievements, who have proved themselves benefactors of humanity – the religious reformer with his wise maxims of life, the philosopher with his deep truths, the mathematician with his formulae, the physicist with his laws, the discoverer with his principles and secrets wrested from nature, the artist with his forms of the beautiful; but who honors him, the greatest of all, – who can tell the name of him – who first turned to use the sun's energy to save the effort of a weak fellow-creature? That was man's first act of scientific philanthropy, and its consequences have been incalculable.…” (1900) [Whoever was that first 'scientific philanthropist'… many others followed… in whose line we find Prince.

'An evil… once known… must be destroyed…' – isn't that how Proudhon put it? Where did his love come from?… this love that fuels all fighters for freedom… Two such we are thinking on today are Nikola… and Prince. Nikola's and Prince's words to us last week are planting seeds: it is that which 'harmonizes' us globally that – once misery and want are eradicated with the employment of Nikola's inventions – will cultivate common aspirations in us globally… In Nikola's case what harmonizes us is 'Nature'… i.e.… the earth and our passion for discovery… and in Prince's case… it is love (we played his song Anna Stezia from the CD LoveSexy…) which… arguably… embraces all three. At the risk of seeming self-indulgent – until I establish more clearly his incalculable significance – in bringing Prince to our weekly gatherings… his murder supports our doing this. He was a threat to those who hold our leashes… and it's important that we understand why… beyond the evidence of his body testifying to EMF… or the results of the police investigation exposing glaring holes in the official story… back to the original reasons why he was targeted as a threat in the first place… …and until we see – which I certainly didn't before being rolled into the gears of the machine – that the entire 'world' we are presented with as infants… and conditioned to accept as 'real'… is false… a construction crafted by hidden actors… and particularly the propaganda machinery known as 'the education system' or 'the media' (because the global-state-statesmen amassed means to so do…) – until we see this… or look at this… recognize the degree to which the media and education is vetted… censored… cleansed of his messages that indirectly (though they speak this clearly enough to them who are policing the popular 'discourse'…) reject the legitimacy of the state – it may be difficult to understand why an obvious treasure would be treated so hideously… The answer lies in Alice Miller and in our understanding what conditions make it possible for us to be ruled (that's the whole game that's the point… for them… we must be 'governable'…) those being: keeping us separated from each other… keeping us from seeing our inherent self-creative power – our endowment from the earth – and that being as well… freezing spontaneous feelings in the 'power'-designed imposition of child-rearing… as a strategy for planting obedience –the 'master's voice – in every child… and our internalization of the master's voice (obedience…) and of course the stultification of our thought-process: our inability to see the crass falseness around us because of our indoctrination in accepting it as real… or legitimate. Prince challenged 'power' on all these fronts.… The punishment inflicted on him for his courage – the worst being the assault by EMF… because he could not fight back – paid for the education all artists who witnessed that courage received from it… paid for their knowledge gained from his example… It may not save them from being similarly assaulted but… if those who read this spread the word… many more may learn that this weaponry exists… and that the state uses it… along with the tactic of infiltration – a 'surround with false-folks' strategy – to sabotage and suppress the so-called 'disobedient'… Discussing Prince then leads directly to discussions of Nikola Tesla… And we learn so much from challenging 'power' that we need to know about ourselves.

(And that's a notion I want to think more about… so we can get clear on the distinction between what we're talking about… and the so-called 'self-healing' industry…) Everything Prince did required enormous courage – add to this… thirty years of torture by EMF… forcing him into a state of hyper-awareness of continuous threat… of being aimed at constantly… making his road – our treasure… creating such a rich legacy for us – making his road so hard… 'compensating' him – these 'power'-guys did… for the gifts he shared… with pain and suffering his whole life… and then… now… insults to the last… they attempt to trash him yet again… this time with lies about his supposed inability to bear pain… that fictional 'pain' itself a fabrication to cover up the real pain they'd been dishing out to him for decades… Prince came… if we can judge by what he gave… to feel and express our common pain from living in a social construction in which we have no intrinsic value – that was his whole point… and the whole point of his being a threat to 'power'… He exposed the pain… the wounds… of 'class'… exposed them to our conscious scrutiny and analysis… so we could begin figuring out what to do… He is an inestimable asset in our fight for freedom… His goal: churn pain to joy… frozen to vital… the transformation of a cruel cruel world… a dead world… to living manifestations of love. Love = Life. The idea that he would run from it is ludicrous… This man did not run from pain… he transformed it to love… that they want to hang that crooked story on him is hideous… He took in all the pain and all the intense feeling… and expressed it for us – both so we could take a look at it… and so we would not feel so alone… He became the voice of the Silence around him: that which is never spoken but unconsciously felt (or consciously felt but never spoken because it is speech sanctioned by 'power'…) and therefore that which has been silenced by the system… because authentic assessment of the system would challenge its legitimacy… It perpetuates itself by keeping us from looking honestly at our true (deep) feelings… Considering his many gifts defines for us true wealth… necessarily raises the question of our right to happiness… to live in our gifts without being molested…

Mrs. Trotter gave me a chance to be a real friend and I blew it… She said… if the thought of me comes into your mind… call me… The night she died… I thought of her… and didn't call… I can't tell you how often Prince sprang to mind… only to be dismissed because I didn't want to be seen as name-dropping… making-use-of his fame… I was too focused on 'self'… and didn't think with my heart… Not a day passes I don't regret it… Alice is that angel Prince spoke of… bringing her words of compassion… words of peace… Where would we be without Alice? Thank you Sister… Prince came to bring us encouragement and love “Do not fear” he tells us and modeled it. When he says “I'm here to tell you… there's something else… he is reiterating Emily's words to us… “This world is not conclusion…” and Jesus': “Do not fear…” Prince's message comes from and honors his body… always (and honors honesty…) Don't be afraid of those strong feelings – or of expressing them – of longing for one-ness… of longing to merge… they guide us true. Dance is free expression of feeling… Every feeling has a body expression… In movement / expression / music we get our feelings out… My son said something I'm continuing to think on: “People have to see the light in themselves and I'm not sure how much his music helps with that process He told the truth – what he was seeing and experiencing – with his music. But people listen to music to get by… maybe questing… but we need something paired with it so that our prophets are not killed… so that it's not about them… We need more people seeing their light… grieving for that lost child that was them… I'm not sure that comes from telling the truth. We need more people seeing their light.” – “Emily Dickinson's right… you do have to tell it slant… and Prince is right: You have to have positivity… beauty… grace… and emotion…” I wanted to respond to that but it's not been possible his week – it's been a very intense… challenging… week… but I'm hoping all of you will ponder that as well… because it speaks to that segment of the show we keep putting off: “What would an authentic self-defense practice look like?” and I'm particularly thinking about the applicability… or the practical aspects of Prince's strategy… trying to describe more clearly what that strategy is… Prince sees so much… he did not fear… he was not afraid to look… He looked (not a common… or easy… thing to do… for we trapped in the 'class'-system…) he looked… and then applied his musical and poetic gifts… and his analysis… to sharing with us a key piece of the solution… He told us: we all spring from the sun… we are all literally connected. The more I learn from him… the sadder I get… that I missed… until now… the great event that is Prince.

(No word yet on the results of the police investigation – including the full autopsy findings – into the death of Prince… and until the full information is released… I'm encouraging us to apply whatever whatever pressure we can to getting more answers to our questions about his death… to continue to press for the release of this suppressed information… which… with our knowledge… gained from Nikola Tesla that the hidden 'power-guys' possess the inventions [including EMF weapons…] that he conceived to free us from toil and coercion of every kind… would allow us to look for evidence – inclusive of the conditions Henry Kissinger described in his telegram to Moscow in 1976 – of damage to Prince's body as a result of assault [and in his case this would be a prolonged assault over decades…] by an EMF weapon or… I am convinced… many different types of EMF weapons… Last week Proudhon introduced to us the beginning of an argument which sheds light… I think… on the origins of 'class'… as well as on our project of ending it… and we commented that he is describing Plato's vision… which the would-be rulers – the global-state statesmen – have taken up as their mission proffered for a tin-cup…) Proudhon: “But man acquires skill only by observation and experiment. He reflects, then, since to observe and experiment is to reflect; he reasons, since he cannot help reasoning. In reflecting, he becomes deluded; in reasoning, he makes mistakes, and, thinking himself right, persists in them. He is wedded to his opinions; he esteems himself, and despises others. Consequently, he isolates himself; for he could not submit to the majority without renouncing his will and his reason, – that is, without disowning himself, which is impossible.… [In this work Proudhon demonstrates his greatness… he shows us… we trapped in 'class'… he shows us ourselves… as Shakespeare does… in a different venue… he tells us he will help us through the sticky-wickets… he will not abandon us to those trapped in the 'mistaken notion' that they must 'rule'… In short… he inspires us to keep going… Like all the great souls the earth produces within 'the system' of 'class' he is an antidote to the horrors produced by those arrayed against her… – P.S.] he could not submit to the majority without renouncing his will and his reason, – that is, without disowning himself, which is impossible. And this isolation, this intellectual egotism, this individuality of opinion, lasts until the truth is demonstrated to him by observation and experience.…”

I feel we should back up and consider Proudhon's argument in juxtaposition with Popper's Chapter 10 of The Open Society and Its Enemies (which shares the book's title…) with Alice… and with Prince… because all four… I think… are looking at the same thing from different angles: dissension and violence rending human 'society' (and this is coterminous with class… or maybe just another way of saying that a system of 'class' rends human society with dissension and violence…) and how to heal the rent… and bringing them into nexus may bring us to the crux of our dilemma… we who have been 'made use of' for many many millennia… What I found myself reacting strongly to in what Proudhon will say is the notion that the crux of the problem of society being rent in two is the human's (under 'class'… we must always add…) power of reflection… So… he argues… the problem is our thinking… and our ego (and you can probably see where I'm going with this: to Alice… who argued that the freezing of spontaneous feelings when the effort to force us to obey engenders fear and confusion in us… as infants… forestalls the development of the authentic self… the true self… or 'ego'… which one needs to exist both for us to authentically 'reason'… and to fiercely defend it… So Proudhon's argument pertains to those whose souls have not been bludgeoned into robotic repetitions of programmed thoughts…) and then he says… our false notions we will not let go “until the truth is demonstrated to him by observation and experience [which… we will be arguing… is the influence of the earth… involved with… influencing… our bodies…

Karl Popper… in describing… in his Chapter 10… the… in his words… struggle of humans to emerge from the 'closed society' – he uses the illustration of the conflict between Athens and Sparta… between the two opposing ways of being in the world: the open versus the closed society – reveals – perhaps tangentially – a fundamental disagreement between us… me and Popper… expressed in the statement: “Our Western civilization originated with the Greeks. They were, it seems, the first to make the step from tribalism to humanitarianism. Let us consider what that means…” – I suspect that a large part of our dispute is about terminology and that as we clarify what he means by 'humanitarianism' we may be better able to decide whether we agree or not… but we'll set that aside for now with my short rebuttal that I see nothing 'humanitarian' about 'class'-society… which in most academic work is equated with 'civilization'… We have been arguing in this space that we need to create and agree upon a new lexicon: the lexicon of freedom…Proudhon: “In what follows, the magical or tribal or collectivist society will also be called the closed society, and the society in which individuals are confronted with personal decisions, the open society….” [we should note that this definition confirms our argument that this global-'class'-society we got is totalitarian… i.e.… closed… which he says “can be justly compared to an organism…” – and while the notion of 'an organism' – i.e.… something self-contained – is suggestive of totalitarianism… Popper would disagree that 'class' is inherently totalitarianism… a disagreement that I think might dissolve with the new information we've acquired since he wrote: I'm thinking particularly of 'world-systems theory'… contributed by our Good Three – Terence K. Hopkins… Immanuel Wallerstein… and Giovanni Arrighi – and of course the work of Alice Miller… explaining the psychological dynamics at work in the resistance of some progressives to reincorporate… and continue… the work of Peter Kropotkin – and of course if he had had any inkling that the work of Nikola Tesla was being used to clandestinely kill us… either for our dissent… or because we're part of a population the global-statesmen want to get rid of… that would have put him square on the side of “Yes… the state we got is Fascist…” What our Good Three argued is that the strategy 'fix the state' is a failed strategy…that has long since been nullified by the totalitarian (global) character of 'class'… – P.S.]

Proudhon: “As a consequence of its loss of organic character, an open society may become, by degrees, what I should like to term an 'abstract society'. It may, to a considerable extent, lose the character of a concrete or real group of men, or of a system of such real groups.… We could conceive of a society in which men practically never meet face to face – in which all business is conducted by individuals in isolation who communicate by typed letters or by telegrams, and who go about in closed motor-cars (Artificial insemination would allow even propagation without a personal element.) Such a fictitious society might be called a 'completely abstract or depersonalized society'. Now the interesting point is that our modern society resembles in many of its aspects such a completely abstract society… There are many people living in a modern society who have no, or extremely few, intimate personal contacts [except with their personal group… their 'tribe': “rigid… fixed… divisions” between us being what 'power' has systematically created… cultivated… and enforced… for the last 250 years – they had a plan… which means they were very effective because they organized to achieve it – P.S.], who live in anonymity and isolation, and consequently in unhappiness. For although society has become abstract,the biological make-up of man has not changed much [you can bet your bottom-whatever they are working on that… – P.S.]; men have social needs which they cannot satisfy in an abstract society.… [O]ur modern open societies function largely by way of abstract relations, such as exchange or co-operation.… Thus when we say that our Western civilization derives from the Greeks, we ought to realize what it means. It means that the Greeks started for us that great revolution which, it seems, is still in its beginning – the transition from the closed to the open society.…” […given the complete suppression of that… the notion that these ideas of longing for freedom originated in ancient Greek society I think is not true… and the fact that they have elevated Plato (the 'power'-guys…) over the millennia… and completely suppressed the anti-slavery movement of Athens… and the broader world… does not suggest an on-going progress of furthering freedom… but rather an on-going progress of suppressing it… – P.S.]

 

[“160828openingupthisclosedsociety_11.mp3”:]

 

Proudhon: “Of course, this revolution was not made consciously. The breakdown of tribalism, of the closed societies of Greece, may be traced back to the time when population growth began to make itself felt among the ruling class of landed proprietors. This meant the end of 'organic' tribalism. [By which I take it he means tacit (unquestioned) consent… agreement…of the 'rulers'… We have to keep reminding ourselves that this 'society' he speaks of is resting on the backs of us… the human-cattle… – P.S.] For it created social tension within the closed society of the ruling class. At first… colonization… postponed the breakdown… Perhaps the most powerful cause of the breakdown of the closed society was the development of sea-communications and commerce. Close contact with other tribes is liable to undermine the feeling of necessity with which tribal institutions are viewed…” [We will be applying the lessons from this… and our analysis the example of Prince… to begin answering the question: how do we open up this closed society?…]

Nikola Tesla: “When the great truth accidentally revealed and experimentally confirmed is fully recognized, that this planet, with all its appalling immensity, is to electric currents virtually no more than a small metal ball and that by this fact many possibilities, each baffling imagination and of incalculable consequence, are rendered absolutely sure of accomplishment… humanity will be like an ant heap stirred up with a stick: See the excitement coming!… (1904)” “So long as there are different nationalities there will be patriotism. This feeling must be eradicated from our hearts before permanent peace can be established. Its place must be filled by love of nature and scientific ideal. Science and discovery are the great forces which will lead to [the consummation of war… I have just made known an invention which will show to electricians how to produce immense electrical pressures and activities. By their means many wonderful results will be achieved. The human voice and likeness will be flashed around the globe without wire, energy projected through space, the wastes of the ocean will be made safe to navigation, transport facilitated, rain precipitated at will… Advances of this kind will, in times to come, remove the physical causes of war, the chief of which is the vast extent of this planet. The gradual annihilation of distance will put human beings in closer contact and harmonize their views and aspirations. The harnessing of the forces of nature will banish misery and want and provide ample means for safe and comfortable existence… (1914)” Once we are free we must always remember the ones we owe… who made it possible for us to live so… debts we can never repay… except by living freely… every day… and never giving back the freedom for which they… so dearly… paid…

'Economics' as a discipline is the miming of 'growth' in a dead system: another way of saying “Property is theft…” To 'grow' – in every sense – under the current 'system' requires… as Proudhon is carefully demonstrating… a theft (hence the short-hand and so incomplete rendering of his message captured in the words “property is theft…') – it requires – this semblance – laying hands on what is not rightfully yours… This act mimes growth but is not true growth… as true growth requires uncoerced life… freed energy… to occur… Everything about 'class' is false… which our bodies perceive and resist… and in order to maintain its control of us 'power' must constantly slip falseness in amongst us… and then condition us to accept it as real… and in order to maintain its facade of 'superiority' it must present to us 'evidence' of it… So their m.o. has become: kill those who are creative because they model an independent thought process and so are threats… and as well possess 'assets' (creativity requiring access to the authentic 'self'… demonstrating which challenges the whole 'logic' of 'the system'…) assets ripe for the plundering… so the 'power'-guys' m.o. is: kill or otherwise destroy threats… steal their work… and put their name on it. We are already seeing them laying the groundwork for doing this to Prince… Those who steal his unreleased music are planning to argue that they really own it because they will be 'developing' it… Sound familiar?

Each side proclaimed loudly in its particular language that it was in a total ideological struggle with the other.

[I think that's a straightforward question to answer… and if the answer is “yes”… then we've just discovered another 'disease'… or 'syndrome'… they've invented to explain… cover up… their use of EMF weapons…] Proudhon: “An evil, when known, should be condemned and destroyed. The legislator cannot plead ignorance as an excuse for upholding a glaring iniquity. Restitution should not be delayed. Justice, justice! recognition of right! reinstatement of the proletaire! – when these results are accomplished, then, judges and consuls, you may attend to your police, and provide a government for the Republic… For the rest, I do not think that a single one of my readers accuses me of knowing how to destroy, but of not knowing how to construct. In demonstrating the principle of equality, I have laid the foundation of the social structure. I have done more. I have given an example of the true method of solving political and legislative problems. The science of society – like all human sciences – will be for ever incomplete. The depth and variety of the questions which it embraces are infinite. We hardly know the A B C of this science, as is proved by the fact that we have not yet emerged from the period of systems, and have not ceased to put the authority of the majority in the place of facts… The task of the true publicist, in the age in which we live, is to close the mouths of quacks and charlatans, and to teach the public to demand demonstrations, instead of being contented with symbols and programmes. [But… as Alice showed us… we do not question that which is a continuation of our childhoods… so the 'power'-guys made it their personal business… to make certain… they control them… the thoughts we receive as children… but we are in transition… we are waking up… – P.S.] Before talking of the science itself, it is necessary to ascertain its object, and discover its method and principle. The ground must be cleared of the prejudices which encumber it. Such is the mission of the nineteenth century [and our own… – P.S.] For my part, I have sworn fidelity to my work of demolition, and I will not cease to pursue the truth through the ruins and rubbish. I hate to see a thing half done; and it will be believed without any assurance of mine, that, having dared to raise my hand against the Holy Ark, I shall not rest contented with the removal of the cover. The mysteries of the sanctuary of iniquity must be unveiled, the tables of the old alliance broken, and all the objects of the ancient faith thrown in a heap to the swine. A charter has been given to us, – a résumé of political science, the monument of twenty legislatures. A code has been written… Well! of this charter and this code not one article shall be left standing upon another! The time has come for the wise to choose their course, and prepare for reconstruction. But, since a destroyed error necessarily implies a counter-truth, I will not finish this treatise without solving the first problem of political science, – that which receives the attention of all minds. When property is abolished, what will be the form of society? Will it be communism?”

[So you can see what we mean when we say that the two world wars of the twentieth century annihilated our hopes for international socialism… for ending a global-'class'-system…] Proudhon: “Of the Causes of our Mistakes. The Origin of Property: The true form of human society cannot be determined until the following question has been solved: Property not being our natural condition, how did it gain foothold? Why has the social instinct, so trustworthy among the animals, erred in the case of man Why is man, who was born for society, not yet associated? I have said that human society is complex in its nature. Though this expression is inaccurate, the fact to which it refers is none the less true; namely, the classification of talents and capacities. But who does not see that these talents and capacities, owing to their infinite variety, give rise to an infinite variety of wills, and that the character, the inclinations, and – if I may venture to use the expression – the form of the ego, are necessarily changed; so that in the order of liberty, as in the order of intelligence, there are as many types as individuals, as many characters as heads, whose tastes, fancies, and propensities, being modified by dissimilar ideas, must necessarily conflict? [The 'power'-guys might hear this as justification for their actions… if 'conflict' stems from a diversity of 'wills'… thoughts… force everyone's to be the same and we will have 'harmony'… at the end of a wave-delivery mechanism… – P.S.] Man, by his nature and his instinct, is predestined to society; but his personality, every varying, is adverse to it…” [He is mistaking “the human under 'class'” for 'the human' – So as to laying the blame at the feet of 'wills' of “…an infinite variety…” “modified by dissimilar ideas…” – we shall have to see… but I suspect… without his having the benefit of Karl Popper… John Boswell and Alice Miller… that his belief may border on tautology… that he may not see that the 'idea' of 'proving' – which is a psychic need 'to prove' one is 'better-than' – plays a role in the formation of a 'will to supremacy'… and stems from a breach of trust… a violation of the 'law of society' that the earth gives us… – or an accident of experience?… But I do see his point… the human-animal is endlessly inventive in the area of 'finding explanations'… seeking answers to questions… and sometimes those answers found are based on inadequate information… which is all that one is presented with… under 'class'…]

 

[“160821platosjustificationforclass_13.mp3”:]

 

Proudhon: “In the bees, the will is constant and uniform, because the instinct which guides it is invariable, and constitutes the animal's whole life and nature. In man, talent varies, and the mind wavers; consequently, his will is multiform and vague. He seeks society, but dislikes constraint and monotony; he is an imitator, but fond of his own ideas, and passionately in love with his works.…If, like the bees, every man were born possessed of talent, perfect knowledge of certain kinds, and, in a word, an innate acquaintance with the functions he has to perform, but destitute of reflective and reasoning faculties, society would organize itself. [He is describing perfectly what Plato wanted… – P.S.] We should see one man plowing a field, another building houses; this one forging metals, that one cutting clothes; and still others storing the products, and superintending their distribution. [Not liking the implied 'mind' – 'body' split – so formative of the 'class'-project… But… he had no other tangible reference on which to found his thought. Rather than frame the possibilities for the self-organization of our global-society in terms given to us… essentially by the 'rulers'… by the 'class'-project itself… I prefer to think of our capacities as gifts that are earth-given… i.e.… at base… capabilities of the body-undivided… – P.S.] Each one, without inquiring as to the object of his labor, and without troubling himself about the extent of his task, would obey orders, bring his product, receive his salary, and would then rest for a time; keeping meanwhile no accounts, envious of nobody, and satisfied with the distributor, who never would be unjust to any one. Kings would govern, but would not reign; for to reign is to be a proprietor a l'engrais, as Bonaparte said: and having no commands to give, since all would be at their posts, they would serve rather as rallying centres than as authorities or counsellors.” [This is clearly the picture the Plato's Tribesmen hold dear: 'self-regulation'… society as a 'clockwork mechanism'… no 'objectors'… no independent thought of any kind…]

I find myself continuing to think about what Nikola Tesla's inventions to free us from coerced work and state-manufactured scarcity (and his inventions prove unequivocally the truth of that last term…) I've posted an excerpt from the August 2, 2015 show which I hope we will hear afresh given what we now know about the gifts Nikola has left us… a subject we'll return to in our August 21, 2016 show… Karl Popper: “Plato says frequently that what he is aiming at is neither the happiness of individuals nor that of any particular class in the state, but only the happiness of the whole, and this, he argues, is nothing but the outcome of that rule of justice which I have shown to be totalitarian in character…” Keith Lowe: “During the course of just six years, the demographics of Europe had changed irredeemably. The density of Poland's population fell by 27 percent, and some areas in the east of the country were now barely populated at all. Countries that had once been ethnically mixed had been 'cleansed' so extensively that, to all intents and purposes, they now included only a single ethnic group. As well as an absence of people, therefore, there was an absence of community, and an absence of diversity: large areas of Europe had become homogenous. This process would only accelerate in the months after the war.…”

Since reading it during our July 31, 2016 show it has been haunting me: Plato's dictum to “make the canvas clean…” None of the killing… dispossessing… and displacing of whole populations was happenstance (or originated with we-commoners…) they had… and continue to have… a plan… do these hidden 'power'-guys… and though we'll never read about it in The Times… or sit and watch it discussed in television news analysis – as once we're moving to make our own social arrangements… our eyes will never again be on them… and there will of course be no intermediary analyzing our lives… we will be talking to each other directly…) – they meet in secret to make their malevolent agreements. They want – and this they'll tell us in sweetened language – to make an 'orderly' world… they want – and this they'll never say to us… we-commoners – to re-write history and install themselves as rulers over us… present themselves as heroes… warriors… philosopher-kings… and gods… to conditioned 'citizens' – as to make themselves seem worthy of being so treated… the world must be peopled only with the obedient: compliant human energy. (What was done to them they are doing to us… perhaps especially the secrecy of it…) Staying hidden behind a variety of ruses (principally the 'economic'…) relying heavily on psychological manipulation of us (principally by utilizing the parents to instill obedience… as happened to them…) they've made extensive use of us to realize their fathers' ambitions. We must ask ourselves again Du Bois' question: What price do we place on our freedom? And are we really here to service the neuroses of the Miniscule Few?… to help them 'live up to' their parents' depraved expectations?… 'prove' they are 'worthy' of at last receiving their attention?

One of the posted archival-excerpts for our discussion today is to help us think through the recurring question we're asking (which will recur till we grow beyond it…): why do we defer to 'keepers'… allow ourselves to be directed against what our bodies want to do? – this excerpt speaks to these 'inner' dynamics… and the need for us to discuss with openness the issue of coercion (we'll be returning to this notion of the critical strategic element of being 'open' in what we do… for a variety of reasons having to do with exorcising those early childhood demons – that fear of losing the parents' love…) …and when we address this issue of 'coercion' openly we confront the residual rage left to fester in us… from the inculcation of obedience… Were it not for this training… and the control of the thoughts to which we have access – the suppression of our needed ancestors… Karl Popper and Alice Miller particularly – we would long since have recognized that force and happiness are opposites… because freedom is our inherent nature. But the shadow-state needs shadow-troops… and each one of us has been recruited… and each one of us has been denied the truth… So when Popper said that the gleam of Plato's scheme may dim in time to those in his tribe… that new ideas and ideals… new information… could arrive (Proudhon's point as well – and Nikola's – about how we progress as human beings authentically… without force…) and that “what had appeared the ideal state to the people who made the original blueprint, may not appear so to their successors…” we should have taken more time with his suggestion… particularly given Alice… given Nikola… given Karl himself… For Shakespeare's point must be fully credited too: much happens that is not immediately evident… and that our entrapment… in this moment… is almost solely a function of not seeing the trap: their scheme for checking… punishing… and eliminating… the 'disobedient'… and 'weeding the 'redundant' – from child-rearing… to 'High Tech Auschwitz'… We can't be made puppets once we see what they're doing to us… But their use of EMF weapons against us is a 'secret' hidden in plain sight… kept hidden by their almost total control of the media needed to further discussions (what I mean by that… is that… we may one by one happen upon Man Out Of Time by Margaret Cheney… but… how do we have that discussion – the development by Nikola Tesla of this weapon and in whose hands it would obviously be held – on KPFA… on Democracy Now!? – which we need to have to develop our understanding as a people (and the Pentagon is not secretive about having such a weapon – HAARP – and that they've been playing with varying frequencies for use as a weapon for a long time… but as to using it extra-legally on US citizens – that requires discussion… that requires pressure from we-the-people…) expose to our awareness all suppressions… – kept hidden therefore by 'power's firm hand on our leashes…

'…jobs, raise wages and improve our national security…' and with that list… I suspect… we have the 'global-state's (U.S.-portal…) definition (for us…) of 'happiness'… And with that definition in their hand… do you think they can sell us… a credible argument… for the use of EMF weapons against us? I think not. And while we'll be raising the question again… elaborated… angled more to the need to honor the truth of Prince's heroism… here we place it within our strategy for challenging the 'license ' of the state to kill and lie to us… ad infinitum… – Are there any 'Miklos's out there who can analyze the results of the autopsy done on Prince's body with the objective of answering our questions about whether it showed EMF-exposure effects?… And in this context of exposing the state's lack of legitimacy… we must also ask if there are any 'Nikola Tesla's out there who can widely share additional information on the weapon itself… To our 'Miklos's who want to help: if we can prove Prince's death was due – or presents evidence to suggest that it was due – to assault by EMF… or even just if his body shows evidence consistent with microwave-radiation-assault…and to our 'Nikola's out there who want to help: if we can prove that the weapon Nikola designed on a small scale has been made operational by the U.S. state on a very big scale… and used against us… then… this added information adds urgency… strength … and depth… to the necessity of we-the-people calling the question on our right to happiness – we owe it to ourselves… we owe it to our posterity… we bear this responsibility…

Many ancestors have pointed this out: that when you begin to struggle with the authentic forces at work distorting us… the release of energy involved with embracing the truth… in every sense… is joyful… Yes you are punished… but to emerge from that fog of confusion int doing something that really does help your Brothers and Sisters. I mean… could anything signal more clearly that what we are going for is the opposite of this than their use of killing us clandestinely – and their wanting to cause us ill health? – it's real hard for us to wrap our minds around that… because we agree with George Eliot: what do we live for if not to make life less difficult to each other… and the notion of people wanting to make life more difficult… it just doesn't compute – so… it is exhilarating to work on correcting the most massive wrong in human history… Truly…

During the July 24, 2016 show we said: “Forty-million dead in Europe from WWII… Nikola Tesla tries to avert it…” i.e.… the 'power'-guys knew he was close to completion on a defensive weapon some twenty years before he wrote to J.P. Morgan… in an effort to stop the second World War… and we know our 'power'-guys well enough to make a very good guess as to what they were doing to Nikola those 20 years previous: picking his brain… keeping him under surveillance… lying to him… and flooding his sphere with false folks… because the global-state-statesmen wanted to have a secret weapon… Nikola trying to avert war… I don't think the question is purely academic: could he have? In the next few shows we will bring all four of our recent consultants in to discuss the question : Prince… Proudhon… Nikola Tesla… and Alice Miller… Nikola Tesla: “What I needed at this psychological moment is some such revelation. A new force, a new agent, a demonstration by any means, old or novel, but of a kind to surprise and suddenly illuminate, to bring the belligerent to their senses and furnish irrefutable proof of the folly and uselessness of carrying on the brutal fight. This idea, to which I have myself devoted years of work, has now taken hold of scientific men and experts all the world over. Thousands of Thousands of inventors, fired on by this unique opportunity, are bent upon developing some process or apparatus for accomplishing the purpose…” [By a circuitous route… through world-wide discussion of the material substance… and the suppression of… Nikola's gifts to us… may we realize Nikola's dream… and our own…] As to whether the global-state has done it… created this space-based EMF weapon… anyone who has been made a target of it and survived long enough to finally learn (if they didn't already know…) to trust what their body is saying and gather more information by investigating… absolutely knows that this weapon exists… and that the global-state (which includes representatives minimally from those states above mentioned by Nikola…) is using it extra-legally against us… we-their-'subjects'…

 

[“160814globaldaytoplanandmourn_7.mp3”:]

 

And as we read together what follows… let's consider this: We have been arguing that the only way 'power' can maintain its privileged position as global-'statesmen' is by manufacturing 'scarcity'… because the earth is abundant… Nikola's work bends to this abundance… and therefore to our freedom… So… what we can say with certainty then is that 'power's obsession with total control of us… with our 'management'… means there is no doubt that if Nikola's achievements and guidance in the area of electrical engineering are completely sound… that if he sold no 'wolf tickets' when it came to what he found – when it came to his electrical inventions and potential applications of them… and of the electro-magnetic power of the earth generally… for accelerating us to our freedom… there is no doubt the 'power'-guys would have been secretly surrounding him with false-folks in his latter years… attempting to 'manage' and manipulate him psychologically… try to take all they could from him while he lived… and get the rest after his death… and then… get busy with their 'work' of suppression… misdirection… misrepresentation… maligning… distorting… discrediting… and… in general burying the gifts he hoped to leave for us… and ferry them to their private concerns… labs and technicians… to serve their personal purposes. I.e.… we would see exactly what happened. If there had been nothing to use secretly the statesmen would have flung the doors wide open to let us see that 'nothing'… they would have no reason to surround it with mystery. But anyone targeted with these weapons has no need to deduce the truth with such reasoning… their swollen heads and clogged chests… and the patterns associated with the 'delivery' of them would be sufficient 'proof'… and proof as well… therefore… that the state is Fascist – sufficient 'reason' to use our right to pursue happiness to move to abolish the state… here in the U.S.… while we work with our Brothers and Sisters across the planet to convene our inaugural… celebratory… first of many… One Day Global General Strike… to discuss the world we want… with ourselves… not with our so-called 'leaders'… A global 'pause' for reflection and feeding a new vision threatens no one but 'the state' – official and shadow… We need plans for self-sufficiency… both individually and collectively… as individuals and societies… We need a plan for helping each other globally to realize… maintain… and keep… our freedom…

“In April 1976, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger sent the following telegram to the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, which summarized the conclusions of the study of the Moscow signal: Henry Kissinger: “Subject: Radiation and UHF and Electromagnetic Dangers: Beginning in 1960 the Soviet Union directed their high frequency beams of radiation at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow which were calculated not to pick up intelligence but cause physiological effects on personnel. The effects the Soviets calculated to achieve in the personnel serving (at least as early as 1960) included (A) Malaise (B) Irritability, (C) Extreme fatigue. At this time the Soviets believed that the induced effects were temporary. Subsequently, it has been verified that the effects are not temporary. Definitely tied to such radiation and the UHF / VHF electromagnetic waves are: (A) Cataracts, (B) Blood changes that induce heart attacks, (C) Malignancies, (D) Circulatory problems, and (E) Permanent deterioration of the nervous system. In most cases the after-effects do not become evident until long after exposure – a decade or more.…” Whose idea do you suppose it was… 'High-Tech Auschwitz'?… to use their 'Space Battleship' for 'population management'?: disease bio-engineering and dissent-elimination?… We're going to assume for the purposes of this discussion that this memo is authentic (and Mr. Kissinger please feel free to step forward and deny it…) and with that assumption made we have to say – as Kissinger is a political animal (to say the least…) – this letter reeks of 'cover-up' and 'cover your ass'… don't it? Look at the date… a follow up on events in Moscow two decades late… Nixon gone… what's going on? But we know the lies are too thick to unpack and that our course is… as it's always been under 'class'… to take our lives back… and now we can.

(What's beautiful about the strategy of the One Day Global General Strike is that… even though they have total control of our intercommunications… our 'transactions' [of all kinds…] this don't require much intercommunication… all it requires is pickin' a date… texting or tweeting “One Day Global General Strike on this date!… Pass it on!”… sufficient time for it to circle the globe… and then… we have our discussion…) Margaret Cheney: “In his old age Tesla was gratified to hear his invention of electrical oscillation devices for medical therapy receive high accolades.… Modern cancer treatment has, of curse, progressed even farther and the full medical implications of Tesla's techniques are still being explored. Most recently, in the 1980s, the American Association for the Advancement of Science announced promising research in the electromagnetic stimulation of cells for the regeneration of amputated limbs… [So let's imagine what happens when you stimulate the cancer cells instead… – P.S.] And studies of various universities have also indicated that pulsed current is superior to direct current in the healing of fractures. As is typical of so many of Tesla's inventions, scholars still do not know the whole range of their possible applications or, in some cases, even their full theoretical significance.” (Margaret Cheney, Man Out Of Time, p. 242)

Nikola Tesla: “But the time is very near when we shall have the precipitation of the moisture of the atmosphere under complete control, and then it will be possible to draw unlimited quantities of water from the oceans, develop any desired amount of energy, and completely transform the globe by irrigation and intensive farming. A greater achievement of man through the medium of electricity can hardly be imagined. The present limitations in the transmission of power to distance will be overcome in two ways – through the adoption of underground conductor insulated by power, and through the introduction of the wireless art. The first plan I have advanced years ago. The underlying principle is to convey through a tubular conductor hydrogen at a very low temperature, freeze the surrounding material and thus secure a perfect insulation by indirect use of electric energy. In this manner the power derived from falls can be transmitted to distances of hundreds of miles with the highest economy and at a small cost. This innovation is sure to greatly extend the fields of electrical application. As to the wireless method, we have now the means for economic transmission of energy in any desired amount and to distances only limited by the dimensions of this planet. In view of assertions of some misinformed experts to the effect that in the wireless system I have perfected the power of the transmitter is dissipated in all directions, I wish to be emphatic in my statement that such is not the case. The energy goes only to the place where it is needed and to no other…” (And while… writing as 'war' engulfed Europe… Nikola was not sanguine about eliminating war… I am… very sanguine… thanks to him – that with Nikola's gifts to us… along with those of many others who have contributed to our knowledge of how to establish… and preserve… individual self-sufficiency… I am very sanguine that we can end war permanently… And we have to remember that he became sanguine as well… his letter twenty years later [and in other writings as well…] express that he'd arrived at the conclusion that we can avert war… But achieving our freedom makes the question moot.)

How do we interpret what happens next?… two 'world-wars'… after which… there was no more an authentic international Socialist movement – and instead widespread fear of nuclear weapons… calibrated to reflect supposed hierarchical threats… and to keep us divided and disoriented… nation against nation – and no more talk of Nikola Tesla's weapon…or his life-long work devoted to peace… and inventing what would be needed to make it a reality… Today… though it's not a view familiar to us… let's consider those two 'world wars' through the lens of Nikola Tesla's inventions… let's see them… always there but kept hidden… always there fueling the statesmen's ambitions… always there but disappeared from us… along with the man himself… Nikola Tesla… let's consider that the string of his work… pulls all… And then let's consider… in whose hands it belongs… Keith Lowe: “The only nation to lose substantial amounts of territory would be Germany, for whom it was regarded as a fitting punishment. Once again, there was no consultation of the 'freely expressed wishes of the peoples concerned,' as promised by the Atlantic Charter'… The consequences for these people would be momentous… [Regions] German for hundreds of years, and were populated almost exclusively by German people – more than 11 million of them… it was unthinkable that 11 million Germans would be allowed to continue living within the borders of the new Poland. As Churchill put it… “it would be a pity to stuff the Polish goose so full of German food that it got indigestion” It was understood by all parties that these Germans would have to be removed. When concerns were raised at Yalta about the practicality, and the humanity, of expelling such large numbers of people from their ancestral homelands, Stalin remarked blandly that most of the Germans in these regions had “already run away from the Red Army,” Broadly speaking, he was correct – the bulk of the populations in these areas had fled in fear of Soviet vengeance. But by the end of the war there were still some 4.4 million Germans living there, and in the immediate aftermath of the war, a further 1.25 million would return – mostly to Silesia and East Prussia – in the belief that they would be able to pick up their old lives. According to Soviet plans all these people would either be conscripted as forced labour to pay off German war reparations, or be removed…” Truman… quoted in Kevin Phillips: “…if we see that Germany is winning we ought to help Russia, and if Russia is winning we ought to help Germany and in that way, let them kill as many as possible.” It was not a sentiment that got Truman in trouble…” [How could we have put up with such people as this over us… sitting on us… for so long? We didn't see another way… well… now we do.]

Immanuel Wallerstein: “The one sphere in which the United States did not have an excessive advantage [in the aftermath of WWII] was the military sphere.…” [We see how when we have in the back of our mind the truth that the U.S. has in its possession this weapon invented by Nikola Tesla it changes how you hear everything… that's why these discussions are so explosive for 'power' right now. It is a Pandora's Box. It does change everything about what we think we know… – P.S.] “As a result, if the United States were going to play the role of hegemonic power, it would have to come to some kind of terms with the Soviet Union and neutralize its military strength.… It is my contention that what ensued was a tacit 'deal' between the United States and the Soviet Union, to which we have given the metaphorical name of Yalta. It seems to me that this deal had three components. The first was a de facto division of the globe into two spheres of influence more or less along the line of the location of the armed forces of each of the two countries at the end of the war.… The second part of the tacit agreement was the de facto economic disjuncture of the two zones. The United States would offer no assistance on the reconstruction of the Soviet bloc… [And it seems there was a fourth part: “silence discussion of Nikola Tesla and his inventions… and use EMF-weapons only on your own citizens…” – P.S.] Once the military status quo was achieved, the Untied States could proceed to realize its overall political and cultural dominance in the world-system…” So there are layers to the theater aren't there?… with Nikola at the bottom… sealed up with his inventions… the keys to our freedom… We must ask ourselves what are the implications of 'power' hoarding Nikola's gifts to us… in circumstances of resource-depletion? Are they waiting until they've rendered the entire world-population obedient to release them?… or do they intend to suppress public knowledge of them ad infinitum?… the deeper we go the more abominable it gets… it's time to call the question of our right to pursue happiness… All the wars and killing by states of whatever political persuasion were designed to d just what they did: maximize the body-count…

Peter Kropotkin: “For thousands of years in succession, to grow one's food was the burden, almost the curse of mankind. But it need be so no more. If you make yourselves the soil, and partly the temperature and the moisture which each crop requires [think: 'Earthships'… – P.S.], you will see that to grow the yearly food of a family, under rational conditions of culture, requires so little labour that it might almost be done as a mere change from other pursuits. If you return to the soil, and co-operate with your neighbors instead of erecting high walls to conceal yourself from their looks; if you utilise what experiment has already taught us, and call to your aid science and technical invention, which never fail to answer to the call – look only at what they have done for warfare [seriously… – P.S.] – you will be astonished at the facility with which you can bring a rich and varied food out of the soil. You will admire the amount of sound knowledge which your children will acquire by your side, the rapid growth of their intelligence, and the facility with which they will grasp the laws of Nature, animate and inanimate.… Have the factory and the workshop at the gates of your fields and gardens, and work in them. Not those large establishments, of course, in which huge masses of metals have to be dealt with and which are better placed at certain spots indicated by Nature, but the countless variety of workshops and factories which are required to satisfy the infinite diversity of tastes… factories and workshops into which men, women and children will not be driven by hunger, but will be attracted by the desire of finding an activity suited to their tastes, and where, aided by the motor and the machine, they will choose the branch of activity which best suits their inclinations… Very soon you will yourselves feel interested in that work, and you will have occasion to admire in your children their eager desire to become acquainted with Nature and its forces, their inquisitive inquiries as to the powers of machinery, and their rapidly developing inventive genius. Such is the future – already possible, already realisable; such is the present – already condemned and about to disappear…” (from Fields, Factories, and Workshops, written around 1889, quoted in our Waking Up Radio show of August 2, 2015)

Our planned August 7, 2016 show is postponed until August 14 when we will hopefully be streaming over the Internet again. In thinking about what might be a helpful lead-in discussion to our deep probing of the implications of the theft and suppression (by the global-state-statesmen…) of the work and inventions of Nikola Tesla… the phrase that kept coming up for me was: “Hoarding the Knowledge Resources…” With that as our theme… I asked my son if he would agree to discuss it with me… and he did. Thank you D-Way. Unfortunately… the battery on his recorder went dead in the middle of our conversation so it ends abruptly… but I hope you will… as I do… find the 35 minutes or so conversation that we did record useful in framing our discussion next week. This is Part 1 of it. It's important that we understand this underlying motive of ‘power’. The philosopher-king-statesmen reason that if they can own / control ‘all’ the ‘Knowledge’ – and particularly the ‘knowledge’ of how to kill us (see our recent word-beat with spoken-word from the January 11, 2015 show… and the January 26th, 2014 show included on the page: “Miklos Nyiszli’s Lessons On Class”) – then their ‘supremacy’ can never be challenged. It is time to confront Du Bois’ question: what price do we place on freedom?… During the July 24, 2016 show we said: “Forty-million dead in Europe from WWII… Nikola Tesla tries to avert it…” i.e.… the 'power'-guys knew he was close to completion on a defensive weapon some twenty years before he wrote to J.P. Morgan… in an effort to stop the second World War… and we know our 'power'-guys well enough to make a very good guess as to what they were doing to Nikola those 20 years previous: picking his brain… keeping him under surveillance… lying to him… and flooding his sphere with false folks… If he had not been sabotaged could he have ended war? And we're also going to be talking about this notion of “Hoarding the Knowledge Resources…” because we've been conditioned to always focus our eyes and thinking on 'the economy'… while they pursue 'Knowledge-Infinite… including the 'knowledge' of how to 'stay on top'… We've been arguing that we have to get our eyes focused on the actual situation… the real obstacles facing us… in order to advocate effectively for the lives… the world… we want… [From our No-Stream Fill-in Waking Up Radio show of August 7, 2016]

Next week we will quote from an article Nikola Tesla wrote in 1914: “Science and Discovery Are The Great Forces Which Will Lead To The Consummation of The War,” published under the headline “Nikola Tesla Looks To Science To End The War, The Sun, December 20, 1914: “Modern machinery wrought by science is responsible for this calamity; science will also undo the Frankenstein monster it has created… A new force, a new agent, a demonstration by any means, old or novel, but of a kind to surprise and suddenly illuminate, to bring the belligerent to their senses and furnish irrefutable proof of the folly and uselessness of carrying on the brutal fight.…” “Thousands are working on it… bent upon developing some process or apparatus for accomplishing the purpose, and there is feverish activity in France, Russia, and especially in Germany, among electricians, chemists and engineers…” He's trying to avert war… And we know now that he's talking about a machine… a means… a technique… that uses various harmonic frequencies… that he has found a way… by varying harmonic frequencies… to amplify and focus electromagnetic force such that it can become a defensive weapon… meaning that an incoming airplane could absolutely be prevented from firing on the city… and that to display that kind of overwhelming force would mean an end to conflict… because it would bring everything to a halt while people tried to figure out what was going on… and then there would be discussion… and it would be open discussion… including all the peoples of the world… What he is saying… is that in order for there to be peace… there cannot be differential access to knowledge… that there is in fact an equalizing force… And I think he's right… In an earlier show we discussed how the discovery of how to predict the flooding of the Nile led to the creation of a 'priest-class' which then hoarded that knowledge – and it's speculated that that's the origin of 'class' in the first place: a few wanting to hoard the knowledge… appear magical… to impress and awe the others… and to then appear to be a 'god'… god-like… And this is… I am arguing… what we are confronted with… not an 'economic system'… not 'greed'… not 'capitalism'… We are confronted by a very few who want all the 'knowledge' resources disproportionately held in their hands… They want us to continuously appear… to ourselves… as children… so that they can appear as gods… [From our No-Stream Fill-in Waking Up Radio show of August 7, 2016]

D-Way: This technology must still be used and that's my question: Why is it not talked about?… How come it's not pushed in the public conversation… having a defensive weapon that is EMF-based?… that seems like a legit PR-move to go… What happened with that particular project? The Raven: Well that's why we're tying it to 40 million people dead… I think what we have to keep in mind is that twenty years' gap between the two communications we quoted – the first in 1914… hoping to avert the First World War… and the next in 1934… hoping to avert the Second. Nikola was open about his work… the global-state-statesmen not only knew what he was doing… but were also working on it… By the outbreak of the Second World War they were well on there way… if not there… as Nikola writes that he has perfected the weapon and needs only to be allowed to bring it up to scale… But they knew what he had… and they wanted to hoard it… that's the point. To hoard knowledge of this kind… makes you seem like a god: this is an invisible assault… and it must have got them thinking along the lines of being able to stay in the background… So a weapon that would allow them to stay in he background… – we have to remember their main objective: 'keep the cattle herded…' that's always been the main objective this would allow that… And what was also going on was the discovery that EMF-exposure created disease… had health impacts… and so was also being worked on by doctors during this time… studying the physiological impacts of it… We don't know at what point they cooked up the notion of using it secretly to eliminate opposition – the idea of eliminating opposition secretly has been an obsession of 'power's for some time… D-Way: There's certain technologies that they really tote as 'helping to keep us safe…' but we hear nothing about how Nikola Tesla wanted to avert the World Wars with this technology…it's just surprising to me that they have been able to keep this technology so secret… Perhaps it's because there's not enough people talking about it and putting it out there… I guess I'm wondering what the lesson then is now… We're talking about Nikola Tesla… we're talking about hoarding information in order to seem god-like… What's the lesson in Nikola Tesla's story?

The Raven: Well… Nikola Tesla's inventions were disappeared from our discussion… from our knowing… and the man himself was disappeared… which means they are doing things with his inventions secretly… You haven't heard this quote but in one of the articles of Nikola's we're going to quote from he argues that it is possible to control… “the precipitation of the moisture of the atmosphere… through the medium of electricity…” that you can literally control where it rains and and where it doesn't… Now… if you want to be like a god… that's critical… to be able to control the weather – that's 'historical'… If you can control how we survive… whether we can survive… our ability to eat… this furthers their objective: to make us obedient… The French Revolution showed them that we will continuously struggle to be free… and that we will get our freedom unless they figure out a way to literally make us be obedient… form us from birth on up… obedient… Now a weapon that they cannot be held responsible for – anything that they make public… they're responsible for… that will create anger… and at this point… to even allow discussion of their ability to take down planes invisibly… We don't hear about it anymore bur there used to be this mysterious 'Bermuda Triangle' where planes would go into it and disappear – of course they have to test this stuff… so a whole mystery was created around “what happened?” They have been using his technology… his inventions… secretly… not for the purposes intended… but to cause harm… in order to be able to eliminate their opposition secretly… which has always been the obsession of 'power'… [From our No-Stream Fill-in Waking Up Radio show of August 7, 2016]

…our experience of 'class' is itself a trauma that needs to be experienced consciously… and integrated into our personalities (can we experience 'class' as a trauma consciously if we have not first experienced the abuse we were subjected to as infants and small children consciously? – we're going to be trying to sort that out as we work toward building numbers of folk committed to working for global human freedom…) such that we can become 'fully-developing individualities'… as opposed to manifestations of 'power's priorities: Consigning us to the role 'wage labor' is a trauma… because it requires us to cut of huge trunks of ourselves… with no one confirming that that's what's going on… So it is a wound that never gets defined as a wound… and leads to endless confusion – the original trauma of a coerced-work system. What if “the story that one does not know…” is “the loss of the infinite…” that we all possess: “That what they have not – that which they possess – ” (Shakespeare's The Rape of Lucrece, line 135) …and we asked: “if 'we-the-people' – the nation – are the child… who… what… might be… the “emphatic partner”?… by which word… 'emphatic'… I take it she means… strong… in possession of certainty… And what does it mean?… being the emphatic partner? – voicing those original suppressed thoughts?

When Shakespeare says that “all will come to naught…” he's talking about the lies of the 'power'-guys… the function of which is propagandistic… The objective – for 'power' – is to replace our thoughts with their own: a preemptive silencing… which 'power's strategists… like Bentham… advised from the standpoint of 'energy efficiency'… …“all will come to naught…” means the lies can't stand up… but it means more than just this… and I find I keep pondering it… I'm certain Nikola could offer the clearest explanation… he is the 'scientist-alter' to Shakespeare's 'artist'… but they both took 'human energy' to be at base their subject… So what is its state – human energy's – when it observes… takes note… and seemingly does 'nothing'… and yet this 'nothing' resolves the lies to naught? We have been worrying and worrying and worrying this problem for ten thousand years and more… a whole lot of thought has been devoted to it… It is not surprising that we have now figured it out… and that beneath the surface of our apparent suppression… much is happening. What do we call this energy of 'happening'? And how do we bring it forth… to consciousness… and so to its manifestation in action? And because 'power' compels our silence… there is an energy-consequence… effect… on both sides. What is it? Karl Popper's point is well taken: the rulers cannot fix in place a pattern – and indisputably there is nothing 'natural' about 'class'… it is pounded into our social arrangements by force… the most effective form of which being simply the totalitarian structure of 'society itself… as Bentham said – …the rulers cannot fix in place a pattern without silencing the objectors. (And we shall have to get clear together who is and is not an 'objector' [i.e.… who is and is not a threat to the achievement of their ambitions… these totalitarian Utopian social engineers: the Plato's Tribesmen… To state baldly that the set of circumstances called 'class' is not 'natural'… or 'necessary'… that it is imposed by force by those with the power to do so… is the most 'radical' message… To state that this 'reality' based on 'scarcity' and artificially-created and maintained hierarchy is the work of the Miniscule Few (point-zero-zero-zero of the world population) in order to maintain their 'privilege' atop a global-system of 'class'… is the most 'radical' message… To say that decision-making by and for The Few is wrong… that decision-making is the provence of all – as leadership is the capacity of all and must not be hoarded – is the most 'radical' message…

The point of forty-million dead was to “make their canvas clean…” i.e.… make the peoples of Europe obedient… to destroy their sense of solidarity with each other… to destroy their belief in international socialism… – which means the point… at base… was 'energy-efficiency'… ease of management… and eradication of the memory of their secret weapon… I began Waking Up: Freeing Ourselves From Work (the book) thinking about the difference between driven energy and three-phase power… This was Nikola's influence… what I did not get was that the coerced-work-system is by definition 'Fascist' (which simply means that 'the state' demands obedience… demands that we work for it… requires that human beings be 'subjects' – why did I not get that the coerced-work-system is by definition Fascist before I 'stood outside' of it?… by being designated an 'objector'… and then hounded by 'power's functionaries and targeted with EMF weapons… Now it seems so obvious… But we've been conditioned to value the thoughts we are given – the compartmentalization – more than the evidence of our own senses… Of course the state is Fascist – the state compels our obedience – if it wasn't it would provide the means for self-sufficiency… instead it creates… scarcity… and justifies it… as Proudhon says… by mandating the supposed inviolability of property… He's right… all social ills come from this invention – and recall… the 'property' we oppose is “the sum of the abuses of property…” – the invention of 'power' that allows them to lay claim to to the planet and everything on it if they systematically hoard the resources to do it – the process that's been called “the accumulation of capital” – stacking the deck and fencing off the means and putting us on the market as commodities… We are made saleable objects not by 'inevitable laws of the market' but by the 'law' of “might makes right” (another Plato-derived maxim…) the hidden-bullies create the state to make the 'law' to keep us slaves… to make us believe there's no other way… that we cannot survive otherwise. But if we are facing a structurally-sustained false-'reality' how do we address it structurally – i.e.… what constitutes effective strategy when confronting rigid structures? If we don't… like Proudhon… like Popper… like Prince… as a matter of conscience… want to preserve the quality of the human called 'freedom'… if we rather are driven by the need to eat… to feel some measure of security… If the conditioned thoughts that tell us it 'pays' to be obedient seem to serve us… are borne out by experience… what new thoughts can compete with that?

[“160731popperexplainsinfiltration_4.mp3”:]

 

Karl Popper Explains 'Breeding'… and so 'Infiltration'… as 'Power's Solution to the Problem of 'Succession': “Another difficulty of Utopian [social] engineering is related to the problem of the dictator's successor.… [And while Popper was writing with the example of Hitler… et al. (dictators who made use of Plato's theories… and were made use of by Plato's Tribesmen…) before his eyes… writing because he saw that Fascist ideology is – and all totalitarianisms are – rooted in Plato's political theories… i.e.… in Plato's rationalizations of 'class'… I have no idea if Popper was aware of the degree of the hidden Plato's Tribesmen's self-organization… that he had some awareness of their existence seems likely to me… as it's hard to imagine them not trying to recruit him… given the breadth of his knowledge of ancient languages and civilizations… and Marxist theory… Point being: he knew these guys are seriously into 'breeding'… and that their solution to this problem of 'succession' was likewise Plato-derived… – P.S.] The very sweep of such a Utopian undertaking makes it improbable that it will realize its ends during the lifetime of one social engineer, or group of engineers. And if the successors do not pursue the same ideal, then all the sufferings of the people for the sake of the ideal may have been in vain.… [I have to interject here: Does Popper not show us how to think? Is this not a skill we want our young people to become adept in? Should not The Open Society and Its Enemies be 'required reading' for teenagers? Popper would have us think… the 'power-guys' – and their 'power'-propped media would have us sleep… – P.S.] A generalization of this argument leads to a further criticism of the Utopian approach. This approach, it is clear, can be of practical value only if we assume that the original blueprint, perhaps with certain adjustments, remains the basis of the work until it is completed. But that will take some time. It will be a time of revolutions, both political and spiritual, and of new experiments and experience in the political field. It is therefore to be expected that ideas and ideals will change. What had appeared the ideal state to the people who made the original blueprint, may not appear so to their successors. If that is granted, then the whole approach breaks down…” Popper assumes that incremental improvement is the best we can do… Of course he is writing without awareness of what was being done with the work of Nikola Tesla…

 

[“160731classdisallowsfulldevelopment_5.mp3”:]

 

Although I don't think that Popper sufficiently appreciated the degree to which 'class' is inherently totalitarian… which means that we commoners are structurally locked-out… ad infinitum… from the decision-making process… and so did not fully credit the devastating effect of this on the full development of our gifts… Neither Proudhon or Kropotkin had any illusions about this. What did Proudhon say? He said that: “The welfare of the oppressed is of more importance than official composure. Equality of conditions is a natural law upon which public economy and jurisprudence are based.” And of this 'welfare'' which must be considered above all else… he placed nothing higher than our full spiritual (ethical) and intellectual development. Point being: 'class' does not allow them… by definition… We can't be a little bit 'equal'… we need full equality to have society… This 'aesthetic' sense he is about to discuss… afflicting those who believe they are 'rulers'… is in fact an artifact of 'class'… the 'virus' Alice terms their 'repetition compulsion'…

 

[“160731powermakesthecanvasclean_6.mp3”:]

 

Karl Popper: “But this aesthetic enthusiasm becomes valuable only if it is bridled by reason, by a feeling of responsibility, and by a humanitarian urge to help. Otherwise it is a dangerous enthusiasm, liable to develop into a form of neurosis or hysteria. Nowhere do we find this aestheticism more strongly expressed than in Plato. Plato was an artist; and like many of the best artists, he tried to visualize a model, the 'divine original' of his work, and to 'copy' it faithfully.… Much as I may sympathize with the aesthetic impulse, I suggest that the artist might seek expression in another material. Politics, I demand, must uphold equalitarian and individualistic principles; dreams of beauty have to submit to the necessity of helping men in distress, and men who suffer injustice; and to the necessity of constructing institutions to serve such purposes.… Plato, speaking about “the philosopher who has communion with the divine”, mentions first that he will be “overwhelmed by the urge [Plato is describing here a 'compulsion'… I doubt he pondered much its origins… – P.S.] to realize his heavenly vision in individuals as well as in the city”, – a city which “will never know happiness unless its draughtsmen are artists who have the divine as their model.” Asked about the details of their draughtsmanship, Plato's 'Socrates' [i.e.… his propagandistic invention… – P.S.] gives the following striking reply: “They will take as their canvas a city and the characters of men, and they will, first of all, make their canvas clean…” The kind of thing Plato has in mind when he speaks of canvas-cleaning is explained a little later. “All citizens above the age of ten,” Socrates answers, “must be expelled from the city and deported somewhere into the country; and the children who are now free from the influence of the manners and habits of their parents must be taken over. They must be educated in the ways [of true philosophy], and according to the laws, which we have described.… Whether they happen to rule by law or without law, over willing or unwilling subjects;… …and whether they purge the state for its good, by killing or by deporting [or 'banishing'] some of its citizens… – so long as they proceed according to science and justice, and preserve… [and… of course… by Proudhon's definitions… and those of all (relatively) psychically-undamaged humans… what he is describing is the opposite of 'justice' –…Alice Miller is like the antidote to Plato… who… give him his due… almost knew the psychology of abuse as well as she… but from the opposite sensibility…

The Plato's Tribesmen have created a 'structure' – let's discuss it – and stuck us in it… but they're outside it… we might call where they live the 'Parallel Universe of Plato'… with the Republic used as its Constitution… a book of political propaganda and strategy which the 'power'-guys religiously adhere to: promoting a separate structure of law and system of education for the 'rulers' and “'rulers'-in-training” (…once we have our discussions… and think through what Popper's brought us… we see that it 'proves' the existence of extensive infiltration [this is not new strategy… though its deep and wide incursion into our lives… post-French Revolution… likely is…] needed to represent for the hidden global-state… In organizing to realize a global society that is the opposite of 'class' we'll have to accept extensive infiltration as a given – we do not know who anyone is – and work around it… we cannot let that impede our getting together and creating our societies of opposition to 'class'… that link together globally… this is what we do… and once we start I think we'll realize that there is a limit to the degree to which the strategy of infiltration works in those circumstances… we have to plough forward… despite. So what do I mean when I say the “we don't know who anyone is…” – I mean that they [the 'power'-guys] look for 'areas of concern' – I guess they would look at it as Bentham did… 'medically'… as: “areas that have been 'infected' with the 'disease' 'wanting to be free'…” and they flood their folk in those areas… and that 'disease' “wanting to be free…” didn't start yesterday… so you may have known somebody for twenty years and they are not who they say they are… That is what we're up against… unfortunately… and we must not let that sound… feel… daunting… So… 'infiltration'… a given… and we proceed apace nonetheless…) Karl Popper: “This is the way in which the artist-politician must proceed. This is what canvas-cleaning means. He must eradicate the existing institutions and traditions. He must purify, purge, expel, banish, and kill. [And note who… at the level of massive dislocation and extermination… nation-state de-legitimization… is experiencing extreme disorientation and violence: Syrians… Libyans… Iraqis… Turks… Egyptians… Somalians… Yemenis… – inhabitants of ancient places along the Mediterranean and Red Sea routes out of Africa and into the Persian Gulf… the very area whose cast of characters and the history of which the 'power'-guys want to re-visit… for their 'future generations of Obedient'… to 'prove' that Ancient Greece was “the birthplace of 'civilization'”… Miklos Nyiszli talks about this strategy… as do Karl Popper and Martin Bernal… this strategy of literally re-writing 'history' for future generations… and they have proven… with Nikola's work… that they can do it… they can wipe out memory of it… So we gotta move on this quick… serious biz… because they have the means to do massive elimination of folk… and we don't want them deciding they have to figure out how to eradicate the memory of how we can use the Internet to convene a One Day Global General Strike and overnight have our freedom… globally…

“And so a clearer… and more inclusive and practical (and so more accurate…) version of that De Tocqueville quote I cite in Unpacking ‘Democracy’ – “if you can get ‘the many’ chasing money… it leaves the few who play the higher stakes of ‘power’ freer to pursue their ambition…” – would be: “…if you can get the vast majority stuck in simply surviving (or ‘getting things done’… ‘accomplishment’…) it leaves the infinitesimal few freer to pursue their global game of ‘supremacy’ – the pursuit of ‘Knowledge Infinite.’” Diana Spearman’s book, Modern Dictatorship (excerpts and discussion of which can be found both in Palmers’ Chat – see its Table of Contents – and in Revealing Division – free pdfs available on the 'Tools' page) is helpful for understanding this underlying motive of ‘power’. The philosopher-king-statesmen reason that if they can own / control ‘all’ the ‘Knowledge’ – and particularly the ‘knowledge’ of how to kill us (see the January 26th, 2014 show… on the page: “Miklos Nyiszli’s Lessons On Class”) – then their ‘supremacy’ can never be challenged. It is time to confront Du Bois’ question: what price do we place on freedom?… Are we ready to begin organizing these discussions?” [Spoken word is from the Waking Up Radio Show of January 11, 2015 – (also posted to “My Son’s Beats – Spoken Word)”]

Karl Popper: “So far we have not met with any plausible reason why only a genuine and fully qualified philosopher would be a proficient and successful political breeder. [Haven't we suspected this… felt it… that this fascist intent lay behind 'politics'?… and when they took Nikola's work… didn't we know what they would do with it?… didn't we know they were making weapons of death to be used against us?… Haven't we known… really… that their obsession is to eliminate all who stand in their way… and that this means the 'disobedient'?… Haven't they stayed hidden only because we've been afraid to look… just as we've been afraid to look too hard… at our parents?… – P.S.] And yet, as every breeder of dogs or horses or birds knows, rational breeding is impossible without a pattern, an aim to guide him in his efforts, an ideal which he may try to approach by the methods of mating and of selecting. Without such a standard, he could never decide which offspring is 'good enough'; he could never speak of the difference between 'good offspring' and 'bad offspring', But this standard corresponds exactly to a Platonic Idea of the race which he intends to breed…” We're going to be talking about both these issues today: “Do we want to live in 'society'… as Proudhon defines it?…” and… “Do we see the Fascist intent behind a global-system of 'class?” We have been arguing in recent shows that we have to know what we're up against… to fight it with effectiveness… and with determination… that we have to see 'power' authentically… which is also seeing its strategies… which is also seeing its motivations… which is also seeing its goal… and it means that from any one angle of it… the others may be arrived at inductively… because what motivates them is the goal of 'Perfection'… made manifest in their minds by 'winning'… in the simplistic sense of 'survival' while being able to cause all 'others' to die… i.e.… to possess the power of life and death over all of us.

Nikpla Tesla: “I am credited with being one of the hardest workers and perhaps I am, if thought is the equivalent of labour, for I have devoted to it almost all of my waking hours. But if work is interpreted to be a definite performance in a specified time according to a rigid rule, then I may be the worst of idlers.Every effort under compulsion demands a sacrifice of life-energy.

On the contrary, I have thrived on my thoughts.” […“I have thrived on my thoughts…” – I believe there's an answer in there that we will have to begin to tease out: how do we thrive on our thoughts… thereby increasing the balance in our bank?…] So… the 'work' that accelerates our movement to freedom… must be self-given… Proudhon: “Undoubtedly there are other elements in human progress; but in the multitude of hidden causes which agitate nations, there is none more powerful or constant, none less obscure, than the periodical explosions of the proletariat against property. Property, acting by exclusion and encroachment, while population was increasing, has been the life-principle and definitive cause of all revolutions.… The downfall and death of societies are due to the power of accumulation possessed by property.” The nature of life is continuous movement… ever-changing-ness… growth… development… 'power' understands that this is our nature… and so deluges us with various versions of its con 'progress'… to do which… and to hide behind… they unleashed a vicious consumption (destruction) of the planet… called it 'economic development'… conditioned us to accept its quantifications of our Grandmother's stores to keep score – telling us this competition is the 'business' of nations and individuals alike… and that they measured the 'progress' of humanity itself… they are trying to reduce our 'expectations' (consumption…) winnow our numbers… keep buying off the middle-buffers with gadgetry… toys… games… and carefully crafted and packaged 'experiences'… – all as a substitute for us truly living… so we can be… for them… 'manageable'… The nature of life is continuous movement… ever-changing-ness… growth… development… 'power' is attempting to effect a substitution: they hope to replace 'our growth' with a dead husk: 'it'… the walking-wounded… committed to making of its soul-death a deteriorating monument to their soul-dead fathers – conditions for us – for a free humanity itself… for our ability to develop our gifts uncoerced as we must… subject only to our own process of self-sufficient development – are in fact as dire as this suggests… Proudhon: “For my part, I have sworn fidelity to my work of demolition, and I will not cease to pursue the truth through the ruins and rubbish. I hate to see a thing half done; and it will be believed without any assurance of mine, that, having dared to raise my hand against the Holy Ark, I shall not rest contented with the removal of the cover. The mysteries of the sanctuary of iniquity must be unveiled, the tables of the old alliance broken, and all the objects of the ancient faith thrown in a heap to the swine. A charter has been given to us, – a résumé of political science, the monument of twenty legislatures. A code has been written, – the pride of a conqueror, and the summary of ancient wisdom. Well! of this charter and this code not one article shall be left standing upon another! The time has come for the wise to choose their course, and prepare for reconstruction.”

Proudhon: “Thus, jurisprudence, political economy, and psychology agree in admitting the law of equality. Right and duty – the due reward of talent and labor – the outbursts of love and enthusiasms, – all are regulated in advance by an invariable standard; all depend upon number and balance. Equality of conditions is the law of society, and universal solidarity is the ratification of this law.… Equality of conditions has never been realized, thanks to our passions…” [and by 'passions' he refers to its earlier meaning: 'violence'… And… recall our Alice… recall the explanation of where violence comes from… the suppression of spontaneous feelings… and our unconscious rage because of it… Enter into this scene our prophets of 'class'… Prince most recently… who show us the solution to this problem and are promptly punished (because our critical mass of reclaimed souls had not yet developed…) They come to show us the power of refusal… and the power of 'one'… as in the 'one' is the 'all'… – we have to take this to heart… it is these messages in our throats… on our tongues… in our minds… shared with everyone… that brings us our future… it is our longing… our wanting it bad enough – as in the 'one' is the 'all'… they show us ourselves… what has been taken from us… they show us true power… so that we can become it…]

Proudhon: “Equality of conditions is a natural law upon which public economy and jurisprudence are based. The right to labor, and the principle of equal distribution of wealth, cannot give way to the anxieties of power. It is not for the proletaire to reconcile the contradictions of the codes, still less to suffer for the errors of the government. On the contrary, it is the duty of the civil and administrative power to reconstruct itself on the basis of political equality.……” [What a debt we owe to Alice… without whom we might still be engaged… with Proudhon… in attempting to appeal to the reason of the Miniscule Few… or to provide to them the information he believed they needed to see the fecundity and justice… and obvious sense… of allowing our natural equality to blossom supported by the social arrangements we festoon them with – without Alice… who outed hidden-'power' in the poisonous practices of childrearing (and who allowed them to speak for themselves and show us that the obedience-training they inflicted on their children they consciously saw as the parallel of the obedience they would impose on 'the nation'…) and showed how the practice of child-rearing results in the totalitarian compulsion… who explains the need of the victims to split-off and project onto others the torture inflicted on them… who explains that 'reason' cannot reach them… who shows us that it is up to us to stop them… to remove from them the power of making decisions… without Alice… where would we be?]

Proudhon: “An evil, when known, should be condemned and destroyed. The legislator cannot plead ignorance as an excuse for upholding a glaring iniquity…” [And what could be more glaring an iniquity than the reduction of human beings to things… to objects… for exchange and pricing? (And is it clear as we listen again to Peter Kropotkin how critical Alice Miller… Immanuel Wallerstein… John Boswell… Karl Popper… Martin Bernal… Alfred O. Hirschman… and Nikola Tesla… are to our understanding of how we came to be trapped under the hidden-hand of such a small number of men… – P.S.] Kropotkin: “We are so perverted by an education which from infancy seeks to kill in us the spirit of revolt, and to develop that of submission to authority; we are so perverted by this existence under the ferrule [a metal encircling band] of a law, which regulates every event in life – our birth, our education, our development, our love, our friendship – that, if this state of things continues, we shall lose all initiative, all habit of thinking for ourselves. Our society seems no longer able to understand that it is possible to exist otherwise than under the reign of law, elaborated by a representative government and administered by a handful of rulers. … This is what Paris did after the 18th of March, 1871.… Instead of acting for themselves, instead of marching forward, instead of advancing in the direction of a new order of things, the people, confiding in their governors, entrusted to them the charge of taking the initiative. [So what do we learn from this? We must not entrust to others the charge of taking the initiative… – P.S.] This was the first consequence of the inevitable result of elections.… The practical solution will not be found, will not be made clear until the change will have already begun. It will be the product of the revolution itself, of the people in action, – or else it will be nothing, the brain of a few individuals being absolutely incapable of finding solutions which can only spring from the life of the people…” [The point for 'power' of making 'class' intentionally totalitarian – by making it (the economy) global… and by universalizing child-rearing (the acceptance of coercion…) is to end the possibility of there being any “life of the people…” to end all independent thought (no corner on which it can exist…) on which being 'a people' depends… The point was to universalize obedience… to create a docile human race that accepts the imposition of coercion in all aspects of its existence… An independent 'life of the people' must be reconstituted… everywhere… and mutually-associated by means of social media… communities formed in intentional opposition to the global-'class'-system…]

We cannot adequately understand the plans of the Tiny Few to make of 'class' a totalitarian global order without the work of Alfred O. Hirschman… During the September 6, 2015 show… “Hirschman… [tells us] that those consumed by the idea of 'statecraft'… by the project of 'managing' 'society' efficiently… grew attached to the notion of a 'delicate watch mechanism'… as a metaphor for a well-managed 'state'…” [Quoting Hirschman:] “…[Steuart] makes… a two-sided point: on the one hand, increasing wealth causes the statesman to have “so powerful an influence over the operations of a whole people… which in former ages, even under the most absolute governments was utterly unknown”; at the same time, however, “the sovereign power is extremely limited, in every arbitrary exercise of it.” The reason lies in the nature of the “complicated modern oeconomy,” which he also calls “the plan” or “the plan of 'economy…” which “will at length come to resemble the delicacy of the watch…” only useful if… “touched [by] the gentlest hand…” – this mechanism was… by definition – by the stores of our Grandmother Earth herself – necessarily time-delimited… but Nikola's work gave them another idea… the basis of an even 'better' (they believe…) “plan of 'economy'”… an even better 'clockwork mechanism'… using Nikola's hard work… his papers stolen… that rightly belonged to us all… and kept in the Tesla Museum in Belgrade… there to serve… as Nikola intended for them… the cause of peace and good fellowship between us… Instead… what happened?… 40 million dead in Europe as a direct result of WWII (including 6 million Germans…) and “the highest absolute number of war deaths came in the Soviet Union; approximately 27 million people…” and we should consider this as well: Margaret Cheney: “More than ever, the inventor [Nikola Tesla] seemed obsessed with his mysterious new defensive weapon. In a last poignant appeal for capital to J.P. Morgan, he wrote [on November 29, 1934 in a letter archived in the Library of Congress… – P.S.]: “The flying machine has completely demoralized the world, so much so that in some cities, as London and Paris, people are in mortal fear from aerial bombing. The new means I have perfected [and we should take note of this word 'perfected'… Nikola was very precise in his choice of words… 'perfected' means it accomplished what he says it did… but on a reduced scale… – P.S.] affords absolute protection against this and other forms of attack.…” [Without knowing it… Nikola had put himself in the hands of the global-state-statesmen… – P.S.] How our hearts ache at the picture this paints: Nikola desperate to avert war… the global-state-statesmen desperate to have an exclusive… and supreme in its degree of lethality and effectiveness… weapon… 40 million dead in Europe… it's very difficult to process this…

Numerous ancestors have noted the 'evolutionary' trajectory of 'class'-bound… 'class'-mutilated… humans… We could say it is towards freedom… but… even more essentially… it is toward reunion: we want to be together. We are the living analog of that robot in the story The Iron Giant that cannot help but reconstitute his original 'self.' That is us… ever-striving to restore our original wholeness… our 'species-existence' presses upon us. This is why we can be certain we will get there… if the 'power'-lustful do not destroy all humanity first… for they are stuck in a death-spiral… and cannot help but pull all of us into it with them. If we let them. Which we won't. To get to our 'freedom/reunion'… we must: know what we want… see what stands against it (for our getting it is not 'inevitable'…) and be determined to get there. I believe this last comes from 'Aidos' – the Balance – our earth-given gift of Fairness. Let's listen for a moment to Peter Kropotkin's observations of the event called 'the Paris Commune'… “Of course people now blame the men, the individuals for this; but it was not the men who were the cause of this failure – it was the system. The practical solution will not be found, will not be made clear until the change will have already begun. It will be the product of the revolution itself, of the people in action, – or else it will be nothing, the brain of a few individuals being absolutely incapable of finding solutions which can only spring from the life of the people.” – If just those few paragraphs had been read and discussed by every 'revolutionist'… would they not have to become an 'evolutionist'?

I have posted excerpts from our November 10, 2013 show to help frame today's discussion… They reinforce several of the points we're making: They lend support to our claim that a future premised on abundance and non-coercion must be sustained structurally by the individual being the basic unit of 'political' organization – what would that structure… that framework… have to be… for the individual to be based in self-sufficiency… They reinforce that closing the 'understanding of what is happening' gap – the understanding of the true forces shaping our world – that ending that disproportion between those who have seized decision-making as their exclusive prerogative… and the rest of us… is key to our gaining our freedom… They point us in the direction of authentic leadership… and so to that on which our true selves must focus… to gain our freedom… They confirm that the “pundits-for-'power'” (are there any other kind?…) keep 'power's core messages at the forefronts of their minds: “Reinforce false divisions… a closed sense of tribalism…” “Encourage the youth to embrace patriotism… a collectivist altruism…” These files tell us… among other things… That “an individualist, can, at the same time, be an altruist…” That in the Platonic theory of the state that these hidden folks adhere to (quoting Popper…) “the state itself can never be wrong in any of its actions, as long as it is strong: that the state has the right, not only to do violence to its citizens, should that lead to an increase of strength, but also to attack other states, provided it does so without weakening itself…” That the goal of 'the Best State' don't run on nothing… to achieve it these guys must amass means… once we see that …“everything falls into place: all the previously… seemingly confusing moves of 'power'… the inexplicable sinking of 'the economy' [and it is in this context that their “A.T.M. – 'All The Money' – strategy…” which is also their “ATM card” (that capacity of creating disasters and then funding the relief and repair…) must be viewed – this is discussed in our March 13, 2016 show and in the excerpt: “craftedsmallness”… That the pattern of obedience inculcated by the parent transfers easily over to the boss and the state… and that this pattern requires a lot of coercion… which leaves us with a lot of rage… Yes… we all have rage… we who are born into 'class'… Do we know where it comes from?

Let's review what Nikola left us with from last week's show: he directs our eyes to his focus on EMF… and the malfeasance of the 'power'-guys who used his work to create a 'Space Battleship' (in utter secrecy…) – and we owe Margaret Cheney, his biographer, for her investigation of this… which she shared in her biography of Nikola Tesla titled Man Out of Time… published in 1981 and subsequently very little heard of… as with Nikola himself. It wasn't until I went into the trades that I learned about him… initially from being shown educational videos during my electrical apprenticeship that featured two guys I think of as the 'Click and Clack' of the electrical theory world… they were a two-man Nikola Tesla Fan Club… and none of us in my class had ever heard of Nikola Tesla… but these guys had… and they strongly recommended Margaret Cheney's book… but I still never found it… never read it… until not long ago when I found a discarded water-damaged copy… but it just sat on the shelf as my life has been made a living hell… and it was only as I was preparing last week's show… drawing on Tesla quotes that I'd included in the book Waking Up… focusing then on his work that anticipated instantaneous global communication… not the aspect of it that I'm being tortured with right now: the 'particle beams'… that I went to her book and discovered not only that the show was falling on Nikola Tesla's birthday… but also what a journeyman I'd worked with – another big Tesla fan – meant when he said that Tesla had found a way to transmit electrical energy through the air.

We are being artificially held back… numbers winnowed… hearts starved… a small number fed scraps… pointed and prodded down narrow tracks… so a Miniscule Few can feel 'better-than'… “Force'… for these guys is their 'all-in-all'… Plato their guide for how to install it… In their dream… all the 'competition' can be eliminated… so they can feel 'supreme'… I've been thinking that “no force” is a feeling… a feeling I believe that Prince had… a gift of wisdom we never got to explore with him… and that we must help each other feel our way to… What is that feeling… if not 'love'?… Because we've been trained to see (across the 'class'-polity…) 'the economy' – i.e.… how we get our bread – as the primary arena in which to try to reclaim our lives… the problem of how to achieve this reclamation has been labeled by Socialists… 'capitalism': the hierarchical… oppressive… exploitive method for producing food for the global population… or… in Nikola's terminology… to increase the force accelerating the human mass… 'Take over' that process… make it less exploitative… and we have our 'freedom'… 'Socialism'… Socialists… reasoned… but… the flaw in their reasoning… is that they didn't see hidden-'power'… the totalitarians… who were consciously… continuously… making 'class' totalitarian… Plato schooled them… as he was the Master of both Hegel and Bentham: he gave them their propaganda-playbook… and their political stratagems: “If you are a 'lord' then you can lie 'justly'…” he said… and… “No one should ever be without a master…” and… “The 'beasts' [we-the-people…] must be 'responsibly' managed… by the 'wise shepherds'… the 'philosopher-statesmen…” The 'reality' forced on us is so much worse than any science fiction we've been given… so much more horrific… than anything we can imagine.

…then he quotes Toullier's French Law According to the Code: “Suppose that some spoils, taken from the enemy, and equal to twelve, are to be divided between Achilles and Ajax. If the two persons were equal, their respective shares would be arithmetically equal… And if we should carry out this arithmetical equality Thersites would be entitled to as much as Achilles… to avoid this injustice, the worth of the persons should be estimated, and the spoils divided accordingly…” [This is a perfect illustration of the disastrous absence of authentic thought under 'class'… a subject we'll return to when we discuss the absolute lack of justification… materially or technologically… for the global – for any – coerced-work system… – P.S.] “There is no arithmetical equality, but a proportional equality. It is this comparison of merits, rationum, that Aristotle calls distributive justice. It is a geometrical proportion.” To which Proudhon replies: “Are Achilles and Ajax associated, or are they not? Settle that, and you settle the whole question. If Achilles and Ajax, instead of being associated, are themselves in the service of Agamemnon who pays them, there is no objection to Aristotle's method. The slave-owner, who controls his slaves, may give a double allowance of brandy to him who does double work. That is the law of despotism; the right of slavery. [As I write this… on July 10, 2016… there have been… almost daily 'reminders' in The New York Times that 'slavery' is not our condition – oh no… they want to drum in… but Proudhon objects… and I with him… – P.S.] But if Achilles and Ajax are associated, they are equals. What matters it that Achilles has a strength of four, while that of Ajax is only two? The latter may always answer that he is free; that if Achilles has a strength of four, five could kill him; finally, that in doing personal service he incurs as great a risk as Achilles. The same argument applies to Thersites. If he is unable to fight, let him be cook, purveyor, or butler. If he is good for nothing, put him in the hospital. In no case wrong him, or impose upon him laws.… Man must live in one of two states: either in society, or out of it. In society, conditions are necessarily equal, except in the degree of esteem and consideration which each one may receive. Out of society, man is so much raw material, a capitalized tool, and often an incommodious and useless piece of furniture [I'm seeing Prince sitting there with 'Slave' written on his cheek… how 'bout you?

Let’s reconsider and delve a bit deeper into what’s implied when Popper reminds us that, “…an individualist, can, at the same time, be an altruist; he can be ready to make sacrifices in order to help other individuals…” and then adds: “Plato’s identification of individualism with egoism furnishes him with a powerful weapon for his defence of collectivism as well as for his attack upon individualism. In defending collectivism, he can appeal to our humanitarian feeling of unselfishness; in his attack, he can brand all individualists as selfish, as incapable of devotion to anything but themselves. This attack, although aimed by Plato against individualism in our sense, i.e. against the rights of human individuals, reaches of course only a very different target, egoism. But this difference is constantly ignored by Plato and by most Platonists… Plato’s identification of individualism with egoism... had the effect of a successful piece of anti-humanitarian propaganda… that… has confused speculation on ethical matters down to our own time…” [From the Waking Up Radio show of November 10, 2013… Text can be found in the pdf: “Reclaiming Our Leadership: The Waking Up Radio Conversations (Vol. 3)”

“So Popper poses this notion of the ‘humanitarian state’ in opposition, again, to Plato… saying that Plato’s totalitarian theory of the state: “This is the collectivist, the tribal, the totalitarian theory of morality: “Good is what is in the interest of my group; or my tribe; or my state.” It is easy to see what this morality implied for international relations: that the state itself can never be wrong in any of its actions, as long as it is strong: that the state has the right, not only to do violence to its citizens, should that lead to an increase of strength, but also to attack other states, provided it does so without weakening itself. (This inference, the explicit recognition of the amorality of the state, and consequently the defence of moral nihilism in international relations was drawn by Hegel.) (Karl Popper, The Open Society and Its Enemies: The Spell of Plato, Chapter 6, p. 106 – 7) What Popper is arguing is that this notion of the ‘amoral state’ is not inevitable… and yet I think if we look around ourselves… at not just today… but decade after decade… there’s no doubt… this describes perfectly the ‘state’ of all states… utilitarian ethics defines the world we live in… and it defines the state… and it defines the market… and it defines our inter-relationships… this is why we’re concerned about humanity itself right now. It was not difficult to see this moment that we’re in. It’s been projected… and we’ve been warned about it repeatedly. We’re living it now. It’s time to finally come to terms with it… take that longest stride of soul. We can’t ignore it anymore.” [From the Waking Up Radio show of November 10, 2013… Text can be found in the pdf: “Reclaiming Our Leadership: The Waking Up Radio Conversations (Vol. 3)”

“So in recent shows we’ve been saying: that we-the-people must decide… if we’re tired of just being along for the ride… if we’re willing to put false division aside… and get on the same page… which means the same side… […which is not difficult, by the way… once ‘power’ is off our backs. Recently (11.01.13) I listened to a woman who was part of a humanitarian relief effort in Syria say that prior to ‘power’s conscious efforts to divide… Arab peoples got along just fine…] …and it means… developing our latent leadership…. But leadership to do what? What’s the goal? For Popper and for John Stuart Mill the answer might be, respectively: “to improve the conditions for humanity by teaching the youth authentically…” and… “to be a better citizen.” If we agree with Tolstoi and Popper that the state is not our master… but that we serve God (or I would say ‘the earth’…) then… it’s for she to whom we owe our gifts… that we grow them… she who is the object of our leadership. And we under ‘class’ very much need Karl Popper, as he’s pondered precisely those issues and concepts that we need to get clear on… to move on. And it’s not just that Karl Popper has thought so deeply about how we change society to get the future we want… but also that he did his ‘figuring out’ while watching an earlier version of the very same drama – the totalitarian threat – that we’re looking at today… which is not surprising… as the actors haven’t changed (but which, nonetheless, we never hear acknowledged.) (A Fascist movement don’t run on nothing – everything that happens (of scale) under class… depends on cash. Folks who have a goal… in this case a very big goal (and if we were discussing it – the fact that 'power' has a goal – we would also be discussing that fact: that if there is a goal they must amass means… and then everything falls into place: all the previously… seemingly confusing moves of 'power'… the inexplicable sinking of 'the economy'… When you understand that the goal is precisely what Karl Popper has shown us: totalitarianism… rule of the Few… not to accumulate money in and of itself… but to establish the 'Best State'… the goal… the vision… the fantasy… of Plato… And if we were talking about this… that would be obvious… both that we are being herded toward a goal – we can see the global pattern of increasing disparities… we know that that means in political terms a calcification of 'class'… – that to create the same pattern globally… requires enormous resources… and it's happening. So we don't hear stated over the airwaves what is obvious: we have an echo chamber… the punditry is not there to help us see the obvious… it's to keep us thinking old thoughts… the same ol' same old 'looking at each other… blaming each other… questioning whether human nature is inherently violent…' the same old issues… discussed over and over and over… which are diversions… to keep us from seeing the obvious. But more and more of us have the time to ponder… more and more of us are using it well.” [From the Waking Up Radio show of November 10, 2013… Text can be found in the pdf: “Reclaiming Our Leadership: The Waking Up Radio Conversations (Vol. 3)”

“You know that other old cliché that “you can’t love anyone else… if you don’t love yourself ”?… well… how can we love ourselves when we’re angry at ourselves every minute (unconsciously…) every minute… for being smaller than we are… for renouncing our gifts… But let’s be honest… who made us smaller than we are?… who made us ready soil for ‘power’ to plant its crookedness in… if not our parents… if not we parents… doing this daily… the work of the state… all unconscious… as Jeremy Bentham said so approvingly… and Alice Miller after him… … her light in hopes to change it.

When you establish within the family the pattern that you must bend… bow… to ‘authority’… that “you must be obedient…” – that obedience, as we’re hearing from Alice Miller, transfers seamlessly over to ‘the boss’… over to ‘the state’… whether that ‘state’ be – as we learned from Hermann Göring – whether that state call itself ‘democratic’ or ‘totalitarian’ or ‘communist’… all of these are patterns… ideologies… of class. And when we as parents create that pattern of responding to authority with unquestioning obedience it is almost inevitable that they become ready soil for the recruitment efforts of a ‘state’… because the state becomes an easy substitute for the parent in the child’s training… in the pattern of thought that he’s learned. And when we as parents train our children in that pattern… in that mindset… we will forever be dealing with the totalitarian threat.

Our July 10, 2016 Show:

 

[“160710stateskillthedisobedient_1.mp3”:]

 

The central theme of our show is “Seeing from 'the all' restores access to our vitality… releases suppressed energy… 'increasing the force accelerating the human mass…'” as Nikola Tesla did… and to use his expression… and to use his expression – and it just so happens that it falls… on Nikola Tesla's birthday… Happy Chance!… We will be considering from another angle what is… arguably… the central theme of these pages: that we are here to be 'big'… to grow into our biggest selves… every single one of us globally… and that our doing this advances 'human-ness'… which is what Nikola meant by 'progress'… We will be considering that this project of continuous growth that we are born with… that our bodies urge us to in countless ways as we struggle through the resistance… the 'retarding' blocks and obstacles… of 'class'… of the 'power'-guys (the current version of which being the global-state-statesmen…) that our bodies' urging gets hijacked by them by means of a con of limited duration… limited because we ultimately grow beyond them… ultimately… but a lot of death and suffering has been happening between these times… and we are living in the time… when the suffering and schemes for killing us must stop… the con that hijacks us is the one delivered by our parents that tells us that 'human-ness' is advanced by our serving 'bigger projects' than us… the specific 'bigger project' varies across 'class'-time… is modified and adjusted by the 'power'-guys as our restlessness stretches… our understanding expands… but… as 'class' is totalitarian… whatever project we are told to sacrifice our 'selves' to is an aspect of 'the global-state' – what we wish to call 'the nation'… which we hope is the common framework that supports global freedom… The concept of 'the nation' has… since its inception… been a matter of contention… between what we wanted… which is to realize our communal nature…and our individual gifts… and what 'power' wanted… which is to compel our allegiance… our obedience… to establish 'rule' as an 'inevitable'… and irrevocable… fixture of our lives (disguised by the term 'civilization.') (And because we have not discussed Bentham – all of us together globally – it may be hard to credit that nation-states – or the 'global-state' – kill us for being disobedient and for owing them nothing [as is the case with Prince…] and certainly no allegiance… but we come to see… through discussing all together globally… that it is… at base… the reason why they kill us – apart from population management in its broadest sense: to reduce the 'surplus population.) The path to truth… and so the growth of thought… lies only through an earth-allegiance… How does 'the earth' work? It's all Nikola thought about. by which means – thought – he 'wrought himself' – as George Eliot puts it… “I have thrived on my thoughts…” says Nikola… and in coming to understand her – the earth – he came to understand himself. All of us tend toward our earth-allegiance… tend toward growth-continuous… wholistic… and free – free of coercion. Coercion… we are arguing… is absolutely unnecessary… the progress of our human-ness is what our bodies want (and… by the way… what does it say about our coherent sense of 'self'… our integrity… that we agree with Proudhon yet see the horrible capability Nikola's work – seized by the state – has placed in the hands of literal sociopaths… the global-state-statesmen… and yet do not press for discussion of it?…)

 

[“160710theretardingforceispower_2.mp3”:]

 

…once we do recover our 'self' that is true (or were fortunate never to lose it… as with Prince…) we will not relinquish it. And a true self that thinks authentically is absolutely needed in this time of transition back to what is whole… and healthy… With Proudhon and Kropotkin… Nikola must necessarily get us to look at what the earth is in itself… as it is authentically… not through the lens of the conditioning we receive from those who want to own it – and to own most particularly… us… for we are the energy on which their false-world runs – we receive the energy of the sun… and transform it… Nikola Tesla: “So we find that the three possible solutions of the great problem of increasing human energy are answered by the three word: food, peace, work. Many a year I have thought and pondered, lost myself in speculations and theories, considering man as a mass moved by a force, viewing his inexplicable movement in the light of a mechanical one, and applying the simple principles of mechanics to the analysis of the same until I arrived at these solutions, only to realize that they were taught to me in my early childhood. These three words sound the key-notes of the Christian religion. Their scientific meaning and purpose are now clear to me: food to increase the mass, peace to diminish the retarding force, and work to increase the force accelerating human movement…” [I think it's very clear to all of us that “the retarding force” is 'power'… organized global-'power'… determined to stay 'on top' of a hierarchy of their own creation – and a consult with the “The People's Lexicon” to attempt some translation / rectification… brings a harmonization of our terms and meanings with Nikola's: 'human movement'… I am assuming we agree… implies 'unencumbered'… implies 'free'… Given that the movement of humans under 'class' is anything but 'free'… the goal we must… as living things… necessarily seek… is our freedom.… Coercion… as we said… comes at the cost of enormous energy-loss… results in hideous waste and suffering – but its pain… is disproportionately placed: all on us… and the earth… and none on the 'power'-guys… whose terms for addressing the mess caused by them disallow… preclude… authentic solutions – which means us… off-leash… coming up with them… Were we to sit and discuss with him… he could not help but agree… that under conditions of 'power'-imposed hobbling of our energy… the only way for us to 'increase' it… is to free it… Can we all agree on this? If so… then we all have to work together for a global stoppage of this insane mess… Otherwise we are complicit (once we really understand what Nikola is telling us…) In order to contribute one's tireless energy to fulfill our human-ness… we must reacquire our authentic 'self'…]

It is absolutely revolting that the 'power'-guys stole his hard work… and have used it to cause us ill-health… disease… injury… and death… – Margaret Cheney, biographer of Nikola Tesla: “Lambert Dolphin, assistant director of the Radio Physics Laboratory at SRI International… has studied the inventor's work and his ball-lightning research for two decades [this was published in1981…] He points out that the fields of knowledge of both physics and electrical engineering have grown exponentially since about 1930.… Tesla, Dolphin believes, “may have had intuitive insight into lasers and high-energy particle beams as well as ultra-high voltage phenomena, but now that we understand all the physics much more, we can easily evaluate many of his extravagant later-life claims.” In fact, there is no good evidence to suggest that Tesla anticipated lasers. His “teleforce rays” seem to have been concerned exclusively with high-energy particle beams.… Nevertheless, Tesla's work with high voltages to accelerate charged particles does seem to have been decidedly in what is now the mainstream of physical research.… As this book goes to press, the Pentagon is studying the creation of a new branch of the armed services to be known as the U.S. Space Command, whose primary arsenal will consist of laser and particle-beam weapons fired from “space battleships.” In prose not unlike Tesla's own, a Department of Defense fact sheet compares particle beams to “directed lightning bolts” – although without explicitly admitting that such a weapon has in fact been developed…

 

[“160710emfmeansparticlebeams_4.mp3”:]

 

(Continuing with): Margaret Cheney, biographer of Nikola Tesla: “It is difficult to assess the current state of the beam-weapons program because virtually everything about it is heavily classified.… At the same time, the activities of the other nations in this area have been monitored carefully by agencies of the federal government. Indeed the possibility of creating a family of particle-beam weapons has been a subject of serious discussion in this country for at least the past twenty-five years [and then absolutely silenced… – P.S.], and it is, in my opinion, of no little significance that as long ago as 1947 the Military Intelligence Service identified the writings about a particle-beam among Tesla's scientific papers as being 'of extreme importance. Since he had no laboratory in the later years of his life [Nikola died alone in his rooms in 1943… after which a large quantity of his papers disappeared from them…], Tesla was unable to develop his ideas. But it is undeniable that he described in general terms half a century ago what may prove to be one of the main weapons of the space age. And to the end of his days, Tesla the pacifist hoped that such knowledge would be used, not for war among Earthlings, but for interplanetary communication with our neighbors in space, of whose existence he felt certain.'” The 'power'-guys cannot but own their debt to Nikola for EMF weaponry… but certainly their massively misanthropic schemes of raining death and destruction down upon us is solely the 'work' of the global-state-statesmen…

Nikola Tesla: “The discovery of the conducting properties of the air, though unexpected was only a natural result of experiments in a special field which I had carried on for some years before. It was, I believe, during 1889 that certain possibilities offered by extremely rapid electrical oscillations [wave frequencies… – P.S.] determined me to design a number of special machines adapted for their investigation. Owing to the peculiar requirements, the construction of these machines was very difficult, and consumed much time and effort; but my work on them was generously rewarded, for I reached by their means several novel and important results. Once of the earliest observations I made with these new machines was that electrical oscillations of an extremely high rate act in an extraordinary manner upon the human organism. Thus, for instance, I demonstrated that powerful electrical discharges of several hundred thousand volts, which at that time were considered absolutely deadly, could be passed through the body without inconvenience or hurtful consequences. These oscillations produced other specific physiological effects, which, upon my announcement, were eagerly taken up by skilled physicians and further investigated.… [He conducted these experiments in 1889… rest assured… the 'power'-guys have had ample time to play around with these frequencies and find out their specific physiological effects… in order to develop… as Margaret Cheney said… a whole 'family' of EMF weapons – different frequencies do different things to the body… and… we've been arguing… either mimic or create diseases that have not been attributed to them… but which should be… like stroke… heart disease… cancer… Alzheimer's… pneumonia – the enormous quantities of mucus generated with certain types of EMF weapons can cause pneumonia and circulation problems that could cause stroke… but depending on the specific kind of EMF weapon it can obviously damage the heart as well… – P.S.] Another observation was that by means of such oscillations light could be produced in a novel and more economic manner…” [which is suggestive that he was on the track of laser-EMF as well… – P.S.] (Nikola Tesla, Collected Papers) [And it is quite typical and defining of who this man is… and of all folk who are motivated by love and the need to establish complete truth… honesty… and equality in our human relations… that he threw his arms open and said… “Here! Come listen! Let's share! Let's discuss! Let's work together!” – That's the world we want… That's who we are… We deserve our world to reflect who we are… It's that simple… – P.S.]

 

[“160710energytransmissionfromspace_6.mp3”:]

 

Nikola Tesla: “The most valuable observation made in the course of these investigations was the extraordinary behavior of the atmosphere toward electric impulses of excessive electromotive force. The experiments showed that the air at the ordinary pressure became distinctly conducting, and this opened up the wonderful prospect of transmitting large amounts of electrical energy for industrial purposes [Rest assured… he did not mean by this the hidden extralegal murdering of countless among us… in a 'population management' scheme we have been calling “High Tech Auschwitz'… though Auschwitz's was an industrial process… – P.S ] to great distances without wires, a possibility which, up to that time, was thought of only as a scientific dream. Further investigation revealed the important fact that the conductivity imparted to the air by these electrical impulses of many millions of volts increased very rapidly with the degree of rarefaction…” [quality of being less dense – so the current increases with distance… which is startling… and recall they were developing… or had already developed… a 'space battleship' when Margaret Cheney wrote… in 1980… so if they had that capability then… imagine what it is now… and recall she said that the U.S. is monitoring what the other nation-states are doing along these lines – they work together on this… the 'power'-guys of every nation… the global-statesmen… and are determined that we don't work together… on getting free…]

 

[“160710spacecommandstation_7.mp3”:]

 

Nikola Tesla: “Further investigation revealed the important fact that the conductivity imparted to the air by these electrical impulses of many millions of volts increased very rapidly with the degree of rarefaction, so that air strata at very moderate altitudes, which are easily accessible [of course… the 'power'-guys have their own 'space station' … so altitude is no longer a problem… – P.S.], offer, to all experimental evidence, a perfect conducting path, better than a copper wire, for currents of this character. Thus the discovery of these new properties of the atmosphere not only opened up the possibility of transmitting, without wires, energy in large amounts, but, what was still more significant, it afforded the certitude that energy could be transmitted in this manner economically. In this new system it matters little – in fact, almost nothing – whether the transmission is effected at a distance of a few miles or of a few thousand miles [Yea! We've solved the energy problem… now let's deal with the 'power'-problem… that's the one we always had to deal with first… Let's get on it! We have a world to set right… on its proper foundations of equality… peace… and the absence of coercion: love…]

 

[“160710crimeofmassiveproportions_8.mp3”:]

 

Nikola Tesla: “From that moment when it was observed that, contrary to the established opinion, low and easily accessible strata of the atmosphere are capable of conducting electricity, the transmission of electrical energy without wires has become a rational task of the engineer, and one surpassing all others in importance. Its practical consummation would mean that energy would be available for the uses of man at any point of the globe, not in small amounts, such as might be derived from the ambient medium by suitable machinery, but in quantities virtually unlimited, from waterfalls [Nikola probably did not foresee “space battleships”… using the unlimited energy of the sun… – P.S.]. Export of power would then become the chief source of income for many happily situated countries… Men could settle down everywhere, fertilize and irrigate the soil with little effort, and convert barren deserts into gardens, and thus the entire globe could be transformed and made a fitter abode for mankind… [What we must see by now… and we'll elaborate on this discussion next week… is that the imposition of coerced-work on the entire global population has been a scam and a crime of massive proportions – we have no words to describe it – the unfathomable cruelty of it… and of all the related subsidiary crimes of the 'power'-guys… – P.S.] Other sources of energy may be opened up, and new methods of deriving energy from the sun discovered, but none of these or similar achievements would equal in importance the transmission of power to any distance through the medium [the air]. I can conceive of no technical advance which would tend to unite the various elements of humanity more effectively than this one, or of one which would add to and more economize human energy. It would be the best means of increasing the force accelerating the human mass. The mere moral influence of such a radical departure would be incalculable. [He's talking about us all working together because there is no more illusion of 'scarcity' – there is enough for all… And we all participate in creating this paradise on earth… That's what we're meant to achieve with our time here. – And while the heart and love that infuses your hard work… Nikola… did not get transmitted with its theft… it is now up to us to make certain that our lively indignation at the suppression of your vision… and the murderous use to which your tireless efforts to bring about peace and harmony among all humanity have been put… will… by a circuitous route… through us in this moment… all around the globe… finally be the means to realize your dream… It's time for us to correct this massive injustice… in the theft and suppression of Nikola's work… and our good hearts…

 

[“160710transmitterofgreatpower_9.mp3”:]

 

Nikola Tesla: “Towards the close of 1898 a systematic research, carried on for a number of years with the object of perfecting a method of transmission of electrical energy through the natural medium [the air], led me to recognize three important necessities: First, to develop a transmitter of great power; second, to perfect means for individualizing and isolating the energy transmitted [and I'm here to testify… they got that nailed… trust… we do not want this practice to continue… these folks are so full of hubris… – P.S.]; and, third, to ascertain the laws of propagation of currents through the earth and the atmosphere. [And “through the earth definitely means 'under the sea earthquakes'… – P.S.] Simultaneously with these endeavors, the means of individualization and isolation were gradually improved. Great importance was attached to this, for it was found that simple tuning was not sufficient to meet the vigorous practical requirements. The fundamental ideal of employing a number of distinctive elements, co-operatively associated, for the purpose of isolating energy transmitted, I trace directly to my perusal of Spencer's clear and suggestive exposition of the human nerve mechanism. The influence of this principle on the transmission of intelligence, and electrical energy in general, cannot as yet be estimated, for the art is still in the embryonic stage; but many thousands of simultaneous telegraphic and telephonic messages, through one single conducting channel, natural or artificial, and without serious interference, are certainly practicable, while millions are possible. On the other hand, any desired degree of individualization may be secured by the use of a great number of co-operative elements and arbitrary variation of their distinctive features and order of succession. For obvious reasons, the principle will also be valuable in the extension of the distance of transmission.” (p. A – 153, 156 – 7, “The Transmission of Electric Energy Without Wires”)

Erich Fromm: “How can people express “their” will if they do not have any will or conviction of their own, if they are alienated automatons, whose tastes, opinions and preferences are manipulated by the big conditioning machines? Under these circumstances universal suffrage becomes a fetish…” – And we must not forget what Lester Crocker told us: that there is no fundamental contradiction between 'democracy' and 'totalitarianism' – to achieve the latter the 'power'-guys must simply condition 'the people' to want the state… What we need is not 'democracy'… but the 'open society'… Moreover… we can see that the place to begin is not with the framework of 'voting'… but with the reconstitution of the human… i.e.… as Alice Miller says… the problem of our being made automatons – of our not having any will… as Erich Fromm points out as well – is not fixed by 'thinking' ourselves up a new set of terms for the reduction of our human-ness… but by addressing that reduction directly: the theft of our true selves… suppression of our spontaneous feelings… a suppression continuously re-instituted by the hierarchical structure… and the enforced atomization… of 'class'…

So… we do see how this is done… right?… their shaping of our feelings and 'thought' to cultivate a broad… general… sense of insecurity… along with the belief that only 'the state' can keep us 'safe'… and keep 'order' among us?Despite a deliberate search these past two months I could not find a single article in The New York Times about Nuit Debout… but every day there is a piece about the growing threat of Fascist sentiment across Europe – described as 'the revolt of the masses' – and pieces that would have us believe… fearfully…that it is violence (from us…) that presents the chief threat… whether violence of the police (who are us… and now almost daily castigated in one way or another – and this is a global castigation – [as if there is no such thing as the coerced-work system… or infiltration… or the shadow-state that operates through these means… (In the case of the murder of Prince… it was preceded by months of constant focus in the papers on 'the problem of painkillers'… and after his death… whatever might cast doubt on their official story – for instance bringing to our attention unanswered questions such as: What was the condition of the body… as evident both from the police photographs and from its appearance at the funeral?… Was there swelling of the cheeks? (a tell-tale sign of the mucus accumulation from an advanced and prolonged EMF assault…) Why was the funeral held after only two days?… Was his body shown at the funeral?… Who was at the funeral?… What are the results thus far of the police investigation? – has been carefully neglected or ignored…) Moreover… another reiteration: when a message is repeated… a lot… across multiple media… over several weeks… global-'power' is speaking… and it is incumbent upon us – we who have formed the commitment to represent for generalized human freedom in this moment (when its achievement is ours to win…) – to 'play it back'… the move on 'power's part that we're seeing… to the motivation behind it… and the sinister play I'm asking us to think about today… is the consistent attack on Facebook… and I am encouraging Mark Zuckerberg to take it very very serious… as there is no doubt the 'power'-guys consider him a prime candidate to receive their assault with EMF weapons (and if he feels there's a lot of false folks around him… don't take it personal… it's because there are… We shall all have to get a lot tighter with what our bodies say… in general… but particularly when the paid-to-make-mischief come our way…) So I'm going to say to friends of his what I wish I'd said to friends of Prince: please investigate the origin of these weapons… document their existence… expose the history of their development and use… encourage him to get access to and document the drone-traffic around his place of business and home…

In a sense… 'the state' represents 'the time of the prophets'… and vice versa – they looked out for us… they were the caretakers of our soul… but we are re-incorporating those powers back into ourselves… because everyone is thinking right now… we're too big for containment – the costs… in every sense… go way-high for 'power'… but they will not release their hold on our throats… their hope to stifle our speech… it is their repetition compulsion… repeating what was done to them… when they were helpless infants… they will keep repeating that trauma… discharging their rage on whatever victims we allow them (this is George Eliot's point [“command exists but with obedience…”]) as long as we are helpless we stimulate this in them… but… we're growing up… they are losing their advantage of a disproportionate understanding of what is happening: that is the generation of true wealth… wealth of an intangible kind… until it blossoms… in Freedom-time… Once we see… globally… that 'power' is sculpting this Hierarchy – a hierarchical 'reality' based on the illusion of scarcity – they can't prevent our uniting globally… but they persist in the attempt by encouraging us to claim narrow identities (particularly as 'the wage' loses its power to 'hold our eyes'…) which prevent our gaining the vantage of 'the whole'… while preserving their exclusive understanding of what is really happening (a disproportion that is itself a reinforcement and re-establishment of Hierarchy… which ultimately devolves into Fascism…) But technology nullifies that advantage… which Nikola Tesla foresaw… and Proudhon senses. We'll return to this theme when we discuss social media.

This moment is heavy-laden with this political strategy of co-optation… a necessity of those who want to rule… a strategy closely aligned with their absolute favorite: the lose – lose. If you are opposed to globalization you are furthering fascists… if you want to fight fascism you must 'protect the state' from them. With the vote of Britons to exit the European Union the 'power'-guys have gone into over-drive with their pounding in of their re-definition of 'freedom': “Even when it is touted by all the propaganda in the world, a cage remains a cage, and a cage is unbearable to a human being in love with freedom…” (Marine Le Pen) […as opposed to a 'state'… Marine?… substitute 'a state' for 'a cage… because 'the state' is the ultimate containment-strategy of the 'power'-guys… – although we're going to be thinking more about this issue of 'the state' (or rather… 'the nation'…) because one of the questions I raised three and a half years ago in the December 2, 2012 show… I said… “no state wants to stay on the bottom and so doesn't this play into 'patriotism'?” So… we have to get clearer on this issue of 'the state'… or rather… 'the nation': does claiming 'the nation' advance our goal of authentic freedom – we touched on this in our discussions of Antonio Gramsci… and of course in our readings of Antisystemic Movements… in which our Good Three concluded 'no' – that 'power' is global and that so must we be… The other piece that I want to get clear on is “the role of the 'intellectual” and what I meant by: “…and they are the only thing that gives 'power' its hold…” I'm sure that what I was thinking of at that time is that they… the sheepdogs… are the chief-buffers for 'power' – the political strategy of Plato of having the 'sheepdogs' manage (and control the thought of…) the sheep… us… But it also relates to Marcuse's point (discussed in “Blog 48”: “The Responsibility of the Intellectual”…) and it relates to our absolutely needing to defend artists and folks who had no idea that when then were growing into their power (and gaining a lot more 'reach' than us 'average' folk…) they were stumbling into a big mess… standing in some crosshairs called 'EMF'… that they have become threats – and this relates to Marcuse's point about the tole of 'Knowledge Workers' in getting our freedom: we saw this in the Egyptian Revolution… and 'power' is obviously all over this… trying to claim young people early… and trying to terrorize anyone who is in a position they would consider a 'security risk' (from 'power's perspective of their security…) terrorize them into not even thinking about taking their skills to a global arena and standing with 'the people'… and help develop a vision of an alternative to 'class'… to 'power'… to 'rule'… but it happens regardless… we see signs of this… and the more it happens… there is this 'snowball effect'… and because it takes so much energy for 'power' to suppress us… they are obviously in terror right now… because the means to free ourselves are so within our reach… but… as Immanuel Wallerstein said about the U.S. – and applies more aptly I think to the global-state-statesmen… Plato's Tribe – it is a 'wounded tiger'… not a 'paper' one…]

…To 'opt-out' of the European Union is to signal an intention to opt-out of – or… at the very least… reconsider this matter of – the Global Competition – an ideology of Division that is no longer effective – if it ever was – with we-commoners (these are really interesting… inter-related concepts… the definition of 'the nation' has… since its inception… been a matter of contention… between what we wanted… which is to realize our communal nature… and what 'power' wanted… which is to compel our allegiance…) so other divisions must be fed… and 'the outsider' is the original one of 'class' – it's unclear how successful the 'power'-planted ideology of demonizing 'immigrants' will be with us… but what's certain is… we need our own conversations… Because in this moment there is not only no need for us to settle… it is true opportunity that faces us: but we must step up… define our 'purple banana'… what it is we truly want… in conversations with each other… globally… and then punch that highest floor… to our freedom… Joy must live again… as an honored expectation… when we arrive on the planet…

We are expected to believe that he told his lawyer – who he'd met with the week of his death – told his lawyer nothing about what he wanted done with his life's work born of blood and love in almost equal measure… The arrogance of the 'power'-guys is such that they no longer care whether we believe their lies or not…) Why was he meeting with his lawyer… only days before he was killed?… What did the police estimate the time of death to be? The man whose father dispenses this drug… why was this man in the elevator with Prince before emergency-folk? When did – what was the specific time that – he first entered the elevator with Prince?

'Authentic' challenges… being 'authentic' – defending the authentic self daily in a totalitarian reality: Confronting this theft… invasion… of our bodies… – as we hold on to our own souls through our wholistic self-defense practice… our consciousness and efforts are either outright global (as with the organization of Global General Strikes…) or have a global emphasis… – our practice has for its inspiration the theme: “Trust your feelings…” How else can we own our bodies… In considering the list of key issues not to forget as we form a training practice that expresses what we need… to regain and keep our freedom… the first is first to speak: “Let's return to the 'power'-obsessed their fear…” we said… “and take up our original endowment: in the form of our 'unity-responsibility-project'… starting with: “unity with the children…” I was thinking about this in the context of the actual little bodies… the pre-school-age Little Tigers… practicing their ki-ai's… punching into bags… carefully making their toes touch as they come to 'set' position… minds empty now… leaving to their unconscious the puzzle of what it is the grown-ups want from them… All other species let their children's bodies speak for them… even… as I described in the book Waking Up… to the extent of… in some cases… foregoing strict self-protection… I described seeing our two parenting basenjis (small African dogs) letting their babies latch onto their necks until they bled… all 'mom' did was feed them… clean up poop… and clean them… and 'pops' – though not their biological 'dad' could not have been a better father – loved nothing more than to play with them.

When Force is made the focus of our questions… as to why we do not yet have our freedom… it leads to the discussions we need… to get to the core of the problem of how 'class'-society is constituted… for… if Force is the relevant question… we must necessarily ask… “who or what is applying it?” “We have been intentionally hurt…” “and yet we submit to it…” – the entire puzzle in which we're trapped is compacted in those two statements… The thoughts system-given have been conditioned… and until we examine them… become aware of them… make them conscious… we cannot say we are doing “the work we are here to do…” because thoughts make us… until we make them… conscious…

Recall: “What Is Property” work was completed in 1839… and written in the years just prior… when Proudhon was in his late twenties… a mere babe. Kropotkin… writing with the maturity of years and after witnessing a hideous degree of suffering obfuscated with that rubric 'the law'… and possessing the 'advantage' of seeing the 'modern' centralized… bureaucratic state… and having made his likewise assessment… writes this: – Kropotkin: “Servility before the law has become a virtue, and I doubt if there was ever even a revolutionist who did not begin in his youth as the defender of law against what are generally called “abuses,” although these last are inevitable consequences of the law itself. This new worship has been established with especial success since the rise to supreme power of the middle class – since the great French Revolution. Under the ancient regime, men spoke little of laws; unless, indeed, it were, with Montesquieu, Rousseau and Voltaire, to oppose them to royal caprice. Obedience to the good pleasure of the king and his lackeys was compulsory on pain of hanging or imprisonment. But during and after the revolutions, when the lawyers rose to power [what we now know was the self-organization of the global-statesmen… what I call 'Plato's Tribesmen'… – P.S.], they did their best to strengthen the principle upon which their ascendancy depended. The middle class at once accepted it as a dyke to dam up the popular torrent. The priestly crew hastened to sanctify it, to save their bark from foundering amid the breakers. Finally the people received it as an improvement upon the arbitrary authority and violence of the past…” (Kropotkin, “Law and Authority”…) Kropotkin's broad… topographic… 'aerial' (from 'the vantage of the whole'…) view of the nineteenth century (and the influences which shaped it…) from the perspective of having lived through its second half – helps us understand Proudhon's optimism… Unhindered by the state… continuous growth occurs of itself… it is our inheritance from life… our earth-gift… the state has naught to do with it but its theft… and subsequent promotion of its mis-attributed provenance… its false-stamp pounded onto it…

Proudhon: “The sum total of the talents and capacities of the race is always the same, and their nature is always similar. We are all born poets, mathematicians, philosophers, artists, artisans, or farmers, but we are not born equally endowed… Intelligence and natural genius have been distributed by Nature so economically, and yet so liberally, that in society there is no danger of either a surplus or a scarcity of special talents; and that each laborer, by devoting himself to his function, may always attain to the degree of proficiency necessary to enable him to benefit by the labors and discoveries of his fellows. Owing to this simple and wise precaution of Nature, the laborer is not isolated by his task. He communicates with his fellows through the mind, before he is united with them in heart; so that with him love is born of intelligence… Man continually exchanges with man ideas and feelings, products and services. Every discovery and act in society is necessary to him. But of this immense quantity of products and ideas, that which each one has to produce and acquire for himself is but an atom in the sun. Man would not be man were it not for society, and society is supported by the balance and harmony of the powers which compose it.…” [This paragraph deserves our prolonged attention I think… certainly broad and deep discussion… for in the absence of equality among us… which requires ending the practice of quantifying and ranking (commodifying) humans… there is no 'society'… Proudhon has persuasively made the case that the necessary foundation of a society is the 'balance and harmony' of the rich 'talents and capacities'… of each one of us… which compose it… we must then ask ourselves: “what has become of our richness?… our true wealth?…” 'Balance and harmony' – and revelation of potential – are the biases of the earth… the Tiny Few obsessed with 'rule' have other biases… their priority is to close possibilities… wither our power. 'Waste' is what we see… when we allow a Tiny Few to play at being kings… they waste our lives and our rich capacities… This… perversion of truth… is what has become of our richness… We have a 'system' that says 'it' will tell us if we are needed… that unless 'it' can make use of our services… we are essentially worthless… This insanity is completely backwards. Each human being is a treasure trove of endless surprises and delights… in a world set a'right on its proper foundation… each day we eagerly await the discovery of the happy surprises we find within ourselves… and in each other… The insanity imposed has naught to do with earth but all to do with the fear of a Tiny Few… so small they must beat us into dust to have a glimmer of shine by comparison… That we accept such dreariness from this deluded so-called 'best'… is solely due to this Tiny Few withholding from us… the truth…]

 

[“160619earthsinstrumentsareprinces_7.mp3”:]

 

Proudhon: “I have proved… both by the spirit of the laws which regard property as the basis of society, and by political economy, that inequality of conditions is justified neither by priority of occupation nor superiority of talent, service, industry, and capacity. But, although equality of conditions is a necessary consequence of natural right, of liberty, of the laws of production, of the capacity of physical nature, and of the principle of society itself… The man who is superior in strength, skill, or courage, knows that he owes all that he is to society, without which he could not exist. He knows that, in treating him precisely as it does the lowest of its members, society discharges its whole duty towards him. But he does not underrate his faculties; he is no less conscious of his power and his greatness; and it is this voluntary reverence which he pays to humanity, this avowal that he is but an instrument of Nature – who is alone worthy of glory and worship…” [and continuing to think… as I have much these days… about the loss of Prince… that it is precisely these that Proudhon describes as 'knowing their greatness…' and who are therefore capable of modeling what that means for us to see: an allegiance to the earth… to life… to our Sisters and Brothers… scorning the stolen 'authority' of global-statesmen over us… disdaining the lie that 'greatness' lies in being 'less'… in embracing 'smallness' in order to support 'genius'… or 'the most excellent'… a false 'self'-sacrifice that we are told advances all of us – 'false' because the 'self' was not allowed to exist… a 'self' pounded small with the parent's insistence on obedience… – that it is precisely those who “do not underrate their faculties; who are conscious of their power and greatness… who understand it as a voluntary reverence paid to humanity… an avowal that they are but an instrument of Nature, – who is alone worthy of glory and worship…” it is precisely these the 'power'-guys do not want us to see… – P.S.]…

Children perceive the rigid imposition of a fixed structure… the artificial 'order' (of a 'class'-system…) with fear and anxiety – it violates their nature… their inherent freedom… but as it is parents who impose it… they must construct the belief that there has to be a terrible-powerful reason to require that which is unpleasant and sad to replace that which is joyous and free… and the puzzle consumes them… for it is never authentically explained… and in the end most give in and become what they believe their parents want: small… rigid… humans… on the lookout for violations of 'the structure'… the 'necessary' rigidity. The systematically privileged among them are sent to 'advanced' education to learn intricate 'explanations' for the madness in order to separate them from their Brothers and Sisters… and serve as buffers to protect the hiddenness of 'power': to stop we-the-people from putting two and two together such that truth can flash round the world and our uncoerced future… based in abundance… begin. “Let's return to them their fear…” we said… “and take up our original endowment: in the form of our 'unity-responsibility-project'… starting with: “unity with the children…” children need to see our confidence… see that we do indeed know we are here to be powerful and exuberant… to fully develop our gifts… and that we value their likewise assurance… the 'power'-guys have been disastrously effective in shaping the planet because they work in concert and their ambition is conscious… They show us the critical elements for the achievement of a global vision… we need strong cores… the body is the temple that harbors our souls – our knowledge of the eternal – and our bodies have been 'invaded' (occupied…) by thieves… and just as Prince said… they're looking for our souls… to murder them… the global-state-statesmen are very much aware of the political implications of the truism that “children are the future” – i.e.… as Kissinger told us… they believe the role of the 'statesmen' is to determine the future… and they are determined to aggressively install it ('the system') in the children as early as possible… which means that their authentic selves are threatened… and must be defended. Global-state statesmen believe they own us (there's a cachet associated with their degree of control of us… as they vie with each other for rank…) And they start by breaking the spirits of the children… and all lovers of freedom – and as 'class' is totalitarian (inherently…) this is a global phenomenon.

The New York Times is (and its equivalents in every nation… and pundits in general across all the media…) is there to 'help' our young people answer their questions (as… when they look around them… in a global-'class'-system… they have nothing but questions…) as to the mess made of our common resources… when our powerful youth burst upon the scene… like Proudhon… like Prince… like all of us… determined… to 'figure it out'… so the 'grown-ups' can finally… be happy. All of us… in this global-system of 'class'… upon entry discover that our petitions to exist (invisible… never stated explicitly… never discussed consciously… but there nonetheless…) are subject to 'its' terms for the lives we are allowed to live… I can't tell you how many times since Prince's murder I've wished we'd devoted some on-air time to his early lyrics… as… though their power shook me when he first released them – it's taken me my whole life to catch up to where he was then – it's only now… with the right story… that I can understand them. And in this context… in which we're discussing what is authentic freedom… there are few songs more relevant… more potently useful… than “Let's Go Crazy” – Why didn't I devote a show to that?… “Dearly beloved… We are gathered here today… 2 get through this thing called life…”

What do we request… upon entry into this global-system of 'class'?… Prince thought about it… few do… for reasons Alice explains to us… Prince knew: we petition for love… without conditions… we petition for joy… given and received with adulation… and we petition for freedom and spontaneity… Prince knew… as few do… for reasons Alice explains to us… that these are the things we are missing… and so these are the things he decided to give to us… And for his gift of extraordinary love… he received for recompense… a too-fleeting life of pain and torture… a punishment that perhaps he had foreseen… would be his payment (for him to have been that 'awake' as a young person is just stunning to me… but to have been awake… so see what was needed… and to have the confidence… the certainty… to decide to give it… suggests to me that he to know… he would be punished…

“This is how authoritarianism starts…” the pundits say about the celebrity-status achieved by a performing man with means who tosses to Unconscious Rage Seeking Objects to blame… targets to receive it… The 'analysis' of the 'power'-fed… just as Alice says… ignores the role of state-sanctioned-suppression of spontaneous feelings… embedded in the practice called 'child-rearing'… the inculcation of obedience… that robs us of our true selves and leaves in their place… a lifetime of unconscious Rage. I've got news for youth… no need to fear that some Trump is sowing the seeds of 'authoritarianism'… it's already with us… its roots deeply planted… 'totalitarianism'… in fact… because there is no ability individually to reject it… it is a global system… To really understand “Let's Go Crazy”… we need Alice. Prince shows the unity of proposed opposites. The 'power'-guys make sure they assign to we-categorized-and-ranked our designated 'opposites'… 'others' to serve as buffers… so we will not see them… but will rather destroy ourselves with sown divisions – Prince… broke in to this true death-obsession… with its necessary corrective… a summoning of authentic feelings… a summoning of the full power of the suppressed 'true self'… the one who sees unflinchingly and without fear… because he sees with love… …and his murder shows how critical it is that we stand together. Prince should not have been tortured for thirty years or more because no one would talk about electro-magnetic force weapons that can target individuals… or that states use them against those deemed 'threats'… 'threats' for a variety of reasons… including the 'threat' to the state's existence posed by 'categories' of people considered 'unproductive'… of the world they want: that 'threat' being 'social unrest' as a result of the continuing disintegration of the 'capitalist' world system'… the refusal of the Department of the Navy to talk about these weapons… evidences that they are in fact being used… but has also meant that few could know or imagine that they are used clandestinely against the U.S. state's own citizens. Alice Miller: “It seems to me that we are still threatened by the possible repetition of a similar crime [the Holocaust] unless we understand its origins and the psychological mechanism behind it.” – And I ask you… has there been world-wide discussion of these psychological mechanisms?

“This is how authoritarianism starts, with a president [referring to the possibility of Donald Trump becoming president] who does not respect the judiciary… the president has to be clear that the law is the law and that he enforces the law…” Can you imagine how someone hounded and assaulted with electro-magnetic force weapons for his or her speech hears such ruminations and / or posturings from The New York Times about 'the totalitarian threat' embodied (or should I say 'enacted'… or 'performed'…) by Donald Trump?… In the role of 'Hitler' the man is a laughable fraud… not even a pseudo-Reagan could he even begin to pull off – although… granted… he is an actor. There is no way anyone sane among the 'power'-guys could have fantasized that he could win… even a rigged-election… against Hilary Clinton… What should we rather be thinking about? Shouldn't we rather be cutting the strings of our obedience-training?… reclaiming our inheritance of authentic-thought… and using it to free ourselves and our Sisters and Brothers?

They train us to “follow the rules” from infancy… while they have none… except to obey Plato's dictums… and bow their heads to their masters… and care only about their fellow Tribesmen… but… just as the 'power'-guys having to make 'class' totalitarian to realize Plato's vision… led to our becoming a global 'One' materially… in physical reality – a result that increases their containment (of us) problems exponentially… so too does their having to base their 'legitimacy' (as we are learning from Proudhon…) their 'right' to rule… on claims that they – the global-statesmen' – represent 'justice' and 'fairness' – which our inherent nature… our earth-gift of sociability… and our never-ending need to see Justice reign… requires they do – and that as well… when they drum into us that we must be 'obedient'… “respect the rules…” this insistence likewise can only seem legitimate (as Proudhon shows us…) if we believe it is based in our inherent Justice… they condition our thought such that we accept the myth that it is the 'statesmen' who guarantee Justice… by ensuring that 'the rules' are respected… fairly administered – so too then does their glorification of 'the rules' leave them… with a conundrum… when we decide to use these rules against them… and proclaim our right… to pursue happiness…

“Listen to your body…” – an incendiary message in this global-'class'-system… our most precious treasures are destroyed or suppressed for voicing it… for showing us the power of its truth… in reuniting us… with our authentic-ness… the boldness and zest stolen from us as infants… We can now hear Prince in hearing Alice: “Those who were permitted to react appropriately throughout their childhood – i.e., with anger – to the pain, wrongs, and denial inflicted upon them either consciously or unconsciously will retain this ability to react appropriately in later life too… A person who can understand and integrate his anger as part of himself will not become violent. He has the need to strike out at others only if he is thoroughly unable to understand his rage, if he was not permitted to become familiar with this feeling as a small child, was never able to experience it as a part of himself because such a thing was totally unthinkable in his surroundings… When feelings are admitted into consciousness, the wall of silence disintegrates, and the truth can no longer be held back… It is not experienced hatred that leads to acts of violence and destructiveness but hatred that must be warded off and bottled up with the aid of ideology, a situation that can be examined in detail in the case of Adolf Hitler… Someone may object by saying that an individual human being cannot destroy an entire people on such a scale, that the economic crisis and the humiliation suffered by the Weimar Republic contributed to producing the catastrophe. There can be no doubt that this is true, but it was not “crises” and “systems” that did the killing, it was human beings – human beings whose fathers were able to point with pride to the obedience instilled in their little ones at a very early age…” We needed the right story to fully appreciate the truth of the message: “Listen to your bodies…” the message to literally put them first… defer to their wisdom… as the Hermes of the Earth (Hermes… the Greek messenger god… represented… says the dictionary… by the carved rock… and associated with the Egyptian god Thoth… the god of wisdom… justice… and writing…) to put nothing before them…

So are we feeling Proudhon that money amassed means nothing… if there's 'nothing' to do with it? (the head of Apple recently said that they had “the mother of all balance-sheets – all that money… and nothing to do with it… without beat-down-us giving up our blood…) that is… 'nothing' that can continue to sustain 'power's blood-drenched illusions? 'Progress'… to say nothing of their would-be Global-Republic… is a very expensive illusion that is no ways sustainable… It is the nation-frame that allows Proudhon to argue that wages must increase as profit-margins fall – and of course Pierre was thinking about these matters of 'exchange' in the absence of our present circumstance of self-associated and established hidden-'power'… of stealth and collusion on the part of the 'power'-guys… which changed the terms of 'the class struggle' to the degree… that it became another animal entirely… It is the 'hidden-ness' of 'power' that blows to pieces the predictive power of 'Marxist' (and all academic…) economic theories… We – the earth – are the source of all wealth… but they have drained us such that we can no longer support them. So they long to be rid of us… but how to do it while preserving themselves – which means preserving their dreams of divinity… their dreams of us on our knees begging… and waiting… to be given our instructions… – is their dilemma… Are we ready yet… to pick up our greatness… listen to our bodies' message… and stop helping The Abandoned keep us from hearing it?… our inherent richness?

Proudhon: “Am I not allowed – am I not commanded even – to rush first to the aid of him who is endeared to my by ties of blood, friendship, acquaintance, or esteem, at the risk of leaving the other to perish? Yes. And why? Because within universal society there exist for each of us as many special societies as there are individuals; and we are bound, by the principle of sociability itself [this principle being the earth speaking in us… we are in sync with our bodies… our earth… by attending to it. There is an argument to be made… that not listening to our bodies… because forced to dissociate from them as infants – as subjects of 'rule'… of 'class'… of the global-state – is the source of all our malaises… – P.S.] to fulfill the obligations which these impose upon us, according to the intimacy of our relations with them. Therefore we must give our father, mother children, friends, relatives, etc., the preference over all others. But in what consists this preference?… Preference should be shown only in personal matters, such as love, esteem, confidence, or intimacy, when all cannot be considered at once. Thus, in case of fire, a father would save his own child before thinking of his neighbor's; but the recognition of a right not being an optional matter with a judge, he is not at liberty to favor one person to the detriment of another. The theory of these special societies – which are formed concentrically, so to speak, by each of us inside of the main body…” [which… by the way… 'power' has made concentric traps in which we watch each other with suspicion…” ('self-regulation'… I guess they'd call it…) until we have our lives back… – P.S.]

Consider your own words again: “…it would be strange if the intellect of man – the most sociable of animals – should lead him to disobey the law. He betrays society who attempts to use it only for his own advantage; better that God should deprive us of prudence, if it is to serve as the tool of our selfishness…” and these words of yours as well: “The duty of an associate is absolute. Man's occupancy succeeds his social nature, and is subordinate to it; possession can become exclusive only when permission to occupy is granted to all alike.” You betray yourself Proudhon… if… through a presumptive (and possessive… self-flattering…) claim on naming the possession of 'intellect'… you refuse to allow the earth to reveal to you your 'associate' in learning… Our mother Earth is come not “to destroy the law, or the prophets, but to fulfill…” The insidiousness of 'class' is that it invades our bodies… becomes integrated in our personalities – we must take them back… [I'm really encouraging everyone… as the lies about Prince's murder continue to be disseminated… to not be swayed by them… I feel certain that at some point truth will emerge about electro-magnetic force anti-individual weapons…… you cannot torture someone for thirty years without others who love him not see the evidence of that… and figure out ways to document that fact… the truth about his death…]

We ended our last show (and noted in the one previous to it) that there has been no release… let alone discussion… of the results of the police investigation into the death of Prince on April 21, 2016… while we continue to call for under-oath testimony… from the head of the Department of the Navy… on its development and use of EMF (electro-magnetic-force) weaponry… designed for use against individuals… And we must also appeal to the friends of Prince… those close enough to have access to the police photographs of his body… were his cheeks swollen? Do you know the results of the police investigation? There are issues involved that run much deeper than we will ever see touched by the 'power'-fed media… I urge you to advocate for all of us… and continue to pursue… the exposure of the full truth…

“Law itself should not compel me. I would pay a fine, or undergo an imprisonment, rather than write for a show and to order, perched up on a platform.”… In Proudhon's transition strategy of a 'services' bank… where should we put Charlotte… and Emily? I ask because… while I believe we need 'transition' strategies… particularly to encourage our less-trusting fellows… who may not see that the poetry in our souls released will settle all difficulties of 'property' between us – all conflicts over ownership of 'stuff' – I also believe that to succumb to the disease 'quantification toward exchange of equivalencies' – which I don't think is where Proudhon is going – is a risk there is no need to flirt with. It seems to me there are three major (and interrelated) 'transition' difficulties we face: 'food'… 'Big Picture-decision-making' – within which we include the threat: 'hierarchy reasserting itself' – and 'property'… The first two relate to we commoners (we all gotta eat… and if we haven't thought about 'decision-making' structures… guess what?… guess who's gonna step into that breach?…) and the last (with the first two) will likely concern what Proudhon calls the 'proprietors'… the 'capitalists' – those who possess 'capital' – and 'land' sufficient for generating 'capital' – 'capital' being money that has the purpose of 'making more money': i.e.… 'accumulation'… money devoted to feeding the beast 'Ever-Seekingness'… …for the clarity of our discussion and contrast… let's recall what 'the bank' does currently… both in terms of the official propaganda and in terms of its actual function in a global-totalitarian-'class'-system. Aren't we told it is to “stimulate economic activity”?… I mean… truly… my Sisters and Brothers… do we really need a 'bank'… to stimulate us?… this means that the role of the 'bank' that he did foresee must de-centralize… while viewing and orienting globally… to such a degree that its nature changes entirely… and we may find we need to invent a new term that better conveys its tasks… and its role in our lives – perhaps we should call it 'the earth'… as the earth is our lingua-franca… its health our standard in Big Picture decisions…

 

[“160605lovethekeyeconomicquality_3.mp3”:]

 

(And isn't that the unstated assumption of the entire global-'class'-system?… “we must make them work…”? when the truth is that in every historical situation when we have… briefly… shaken off that chain – including the Occupy Movement in the beginning before it got infiltrated: everybody jumped in to help – we do not need to be made to shine… it's what we do.)… As for making the 'Big Decisions'… we shall have to consider what those might be… when health is our standard and only aggregate human energy has the capacity to do serious damage… with Nikola's warning in our ears: “If we use [fossil] fuel to get our power, we are living on our capital and exhausting it rapidly. This method is barbarous and wantonly wasteful, and will have to be stopped in the interest of coming generations.” …the earth needs our attention and our nourishment… certainly no further raids upon her… As Nikola said… she's holding some long-overdue IOUs on credit extended… and with our existing materials already received from her… and our human energy released from the 'power'-guys hold… we can easily address each other's needs for comfort. Our Mother is due replenishment of her stores… our bank requires her full credit restored… There is so much needed in the way of repair… and so much love in our hearts we've been prevented from sharing…

 

[“160605conningnextgeneration_4.mp3”:]

 

And that is the key 'economic quality' that cannot be factored into the present system's means of analysis… because it only exists under terms of freedom: the power and creativity and force of our love… and the 'would-be-gods' – our 'would-so-have-them-be-gones' – of course know this… they also know that young people… those among us hungriest for truth… are finally getting some – our ancestors who long for our freedom are extending their arms with gifts… and young people are taking them… they are waking up… So the 'would-they-were-gones' are furiously trying to trap them into a patriotic mindset that claims to be 'anti-capitalist'… and 'anti-fascist'… and 'for the planet' (…we have to get this: yes… of course they want to pick the U.S. president… but more than anything… they want to con the next generation… otherwise… their whole game is gone – do you feel me? – conning the next generation is everything to these guys… because they want to install their vision and that requires conning the next generation… So in every possible way… across all available media… that's what they're doing – including… on the Left…) – these are the 'threats'-made-carrots for young people with heart… dangled before them to lure them into… once again con them into abandoning their bodies… ignoring their hearts… stopper their thought-process… and 'sacrifice themselves heroically' – the propaganda that has worked since 'class' begun… “Save us! Save your Fathers!”… 'power' pleads with them… as it fashions the lassos to rope them back in (and hang the ones grown too recalcitrant…) Prince's message has been brushed aside… ignored entirely… that we must reclaim our bodies – every single one of us – We are a global-humanity… with a life – health – freedom- allegiance… As long as we are clear that the individual is the basic unit of political organization… working back from that… we have our 'infrastructure-plan'…

 

[“160605discussinfiltration_5.mp3”:]

 

(So you feel me the discussions we need to have… we need to be thinking furiously about that question: “what is needed to support individual self-sufficiency?…” – that's why I shared what I'd learned about the Earthship in Waking Up… because I think that's a key piece… one of them – obviously… there's many… Another one is found in the “Blume” pdf that you can download from the 'Blog' page… which discusses David Blume's idea for de-centralized fuel generation in each of our small 'villages'…) All states are fighting to hold onto 'legitimacy'… and this means they are inventing lots of reasons why we in theory need them… when will we start talking about the opposite? When will we factor into our thinking and planning the problem of infiltration? Somehow we must get our own means of discourse… somehow we have to overcome this tactic… I'm convinced the answer lay in simply getting behind… standing with… our bodies and our global vision (we don't want to eke out a horrible little isolated individual existence… we want to be 'big'… we need our Brothers and Sisters – all of them – we have a right to these big discussions and decisions… we have the right to shape the world we want… and we have to start believing in those rights…) and believing in the strategy of a One Day Global General Strike… repeated until we are free… …and in ending the practice of making fodder for fascists… of converting our young people into totalitarians-for-hire… We have to intentionally create an alternative to adhere to instead of 'the global-state'… for more and more to join us in exorcising the totalitarian global-class-system…

 

[“160605onlyweendpower_6.mp3”:]

 

We've been looking at this issue of 'the economy' with a scarcity mindset… understandably as our thoughts reflect both 'power's imposition of 'scarcity' on us… as well as its preoccupations – their preoccupation not only that there was never enough time for them as infants – that there was a scarcity of love – but that there would not be 'time' to realize their parents' 'vision'… an unconscious awareness that its rule… that 'rule' itself… has built-in time limits… has a built-in demise… and so that they must 'fail' (their biggest fear…) is what they are feeling. This moment has been foretold and described many times… including Marx's 'Breakdown Theory': “The growing incompatibility between the productive development of society and its hitherto existing relations of production expresses itself in bitter contradictions, crises, spasms. The violent destruction of capital not by relations external to it, but rather as a condition of its self-preservation, is the most striking form in which advice is given it to be gone, and to give room to a higher state of social production…” But the end of 'Ever-Seekingness' is not an end to 'power'… only we can do that… consciously… intentionally… globally…

 

[“160605wemustmakewhatwewant_7.mp3”:]

 

(…in that most recent Slingshot… the local Anarchist paper that I sort of made reference to earlier… it said that Nuit Debout was spreading across Europe… becoming world-scale… And in one of the articles in that paper they said… “we need a national conference…” and I'm thinking: “we need to get behind Nuit Debout – is this not obvious?… when they call for a national General Strike we call for a Global General Strike to join with theirs… I'm really eager to have all the radical folk out there… progressives… discuss this issue…)'Capitalism' – 'Ever-seekingness' – its terms of production… are doomed… which means that how we produce is in flux… the new terms are up to us… we simply must grow our consciousness… and that of our Brothers and Sisters… such that we see that we are not 'workers'… not robots… not fodder for totalitarianism of whatever odor… rather… we are human beings… who associate with each other under the terms of non-coercion that we establish for each other…

 

[“160605weshareourshine_8.mp3”:]

 

(In that same issue of Slingshot – which I'm beginning to think we need to talk about – the 'Editors' Note' said something that upset me [and… by the way… referring to this mess we got as being as inevitable as death – in some phony-left version of Jeremy Bentham… “just get used to it… look for the silver lining… accentuate the positive… smell the roses… look how much fun it is when we protest uselessly… ain't growing your garden great?… watching the chickens lay eggs?…” Please…] But what really upset me was him saying that “we're better than them brain-dead folk doing their nine-to-fives…” Come on… that is fascist-thinking… and intentionally planted there. Please… we can only do this together… all of us have been trained in this mess… Ain't none of us no 'better'… we're all in this mess together – each of us is on a different timeline for 'waking up'… but we're going to have to be patient with each other… those of us who can share our love with each other and figure out ways to help wake each other up… that's what we're here for: “spreading the good news…” You know? We share our shine… just like Prince did… we don't try to glimmer for only 'our tribe' under cover of our tents… Come on… let's hit the streets folk… Let's show our shine…) In our “property is impossible” audio-file from our April 17, 2016 show we said that what 'power' does is block our natural respiration – our connection – with the earth – the mechanism by which they do this is called 'the economy'… a mechanism with a built-in time limit… undesigned obsolescence (from the Latin “falling into disuse”… – And… reading that in the definition for 'obsolescence' has stimulated some notions I'd like to explore together at some point: “falling into disuse”… because it echoed in my head my thoughts when I was writing Waking Up… in the chapter “The Plan”… about how we 'turn away' from what we don't want… and 'turn to' what we do…) What signifies 'life'? Breath… an exchange of life with life… an exchange between equivalents… except… a Miniscule Few have established a shunt-sequester-… and trap – a mechanism that diverts as it converts to trash… the bounty of our common earth… converts to waste most significantly… for the continuous reproduction of this process… we ourselves… but… we represent for life… we are the wind… the sea… the recirculator of life-energy…

“All men, then, are associated…” says Proudhon… which you see very personally… when you work together manually… as I wrote in Waking Up: “But until the world is whole, solidarity ekes out a diminished existence on isolated enclaves that are mere placeholders for structurally-constituted wholeness.… Realized wholeness requires the freedom to create each day anew.… In listening to our bodies, in working collectively uncoerced, we build solidarity and we create ourselves – our wholeness…and we make culture.… This – freedom – is the domain, the essence, of culture.… “Progress” is its’ antithesis…” from: Waking Up: Freeing Ourselves From Work, the pdf of which you can download free from the “Tools” page…

But here's the catch that caught Marx's eye: that because there's a 'relative surplus' of us… this surplus of us grows “proportionately to the advances made by capitalist production not because the productiveness of social labour decreases, but because it increases…” […automation… 'electronification' of processes… instantaneous communication and flow of information… which to acquire converted huge amounts of the earth into physical things and money (financialization)… – and as all that 'social labor' increases… 'power' don't need us no more… it stole our substance and now it's time ('power' believes…) to say “bye… see ya… don't need ya…” Alright… so what does 'power' do? Now… Marx could see far but he couldn't see as far as into the diseased souls of these guys… plug in the technology… and you have a lot of room for a lot of misanthropy… a lot of genocide… a lot of blood-flow… a lot of phony-crises… and 'natural disasters'…

“[Of the processes that stem… from 'capital's ongoing centralization…] the second and third… entail the redefinition of trajectories. For the de-nationalization of domestic labor forces suggests a fundamental change, on the part of the left, as to what “national” means…. To accomplish the reconception will entail a degree and kind of substantive and rhetorical inventiveness not presently in ascendance within prominent movements. And the third, the increasing salience of the gender question, entails… the further generalization, from the pauperization of women to the pauperization of people on a world-scale, that is precisely the change in consciousness the very effectiveness of the organizations in core zones may help to bring about, as part of world-scale movements that bypass and so subvert interstate arrangements.” (We're going to be thinking more about this… the suggestion that you can 'bypass and so subvert interstate arrangements…' and still keep intact the overall centralization of capital processes that are going on – or… in the terms being developed here… maintain the global-state-statesmen… the 'power'-guys… hidden 'power'. And we're also going to be pondering this whole issue of: How do we create a global consciousness of our shared purpose and objectives…) “The Outer – from the Inner… Derives its Magnitude – 'Tis Duke, or Dwarf, according… As is the Central Mood –” [I like the way she puts that… that sort of covers it all… 'the central mood': be that 'dangerous… unhealthy obsession…' or be that… 'life's longing for itself…' (nothing healthier than that…)][Spoken word is from our April 5, 2015 radio broadcast.]

“An alternative is possible only if we, men and women, succeed in getting back forever not simply the wage, but much more – namely the means of production: our bodies and our children, our houses and our land, our knowledge and our creativity, and the results of our labor. We want all this without continuing to depend on “central powers” like puppets, so that we can work for our own, autonomous existence…” [What happens to all the hard work that is done by our good-hearted folks from academia?… – P.S.]

After Prince was killed we began the next show asking: “Will the question never end?… how long shall they kill our prophets while we stand aside and look?” – well… the same question restated answers it: “How long shall they steal our greatness while we stand aside and look?” Is this not the question of all prophets under 'class'?… from Socrates and those who inspired him… to their precentors… on down… to now. Is this not “Socrates' Dilemma”?… and Jesus'?… and Proudhon's?… and Kropotkin's?… and Martin Luther King's?… and Malcolm X's?… and Alice Miller's ?… and Bob Marley's?… and Bruce Lee's?… and Prince's?… (Prince modeled owning himself in an entirely fresh way… by the way… a way 'power' was completely unprepared for… He showed the true-power released when we put our bodies' truth – the earth's truth – first… and it terrified the 'power'-guys… who unleashed a campaign of suppression and containment such as no artist… save Paul Robeson… has ever seen. When we read that the record label he was contracted to wanted him to stop producing things so fast… we have to understand the degree to which the combined assault of EMF and false-folks forces you to speed up… Unless you move… the battering becomes overwhelming: the swelling… the muscle-stiffening and aching all over… the 'gunk' (mucus)-build-up' in the head and chest… swathed in cotton while being pressed in a vise… a burning pressure… a burning-buzzing head… your movement a burning-pain-bit burdened drudge…) With Prince… and Proudhon… as we did with Alice… we're going to be probing our stolen greatness… the Immense Puzzle that struck us all under 'class'… by age two… and as we do let's consider the effect of the walls around us… and the rooms in which we sit… imprisoned…

…but they do… don't they? Is it not 'they'… and 'they' alone – the ones who lust for Total Control – who see… 'Everything'?… who possess the Big Picture?… while we are left with minds casting about the planted bits of fabricated 'facts' they give us for clues… stuck in our rooms… or… released into 'the world'… our distressed spirits blow about the destitution called 'reality'… substance gutted… artifacts demolished and rebuilt for each generation… to ensure there is no permanence… that no claim can be made by us… of ownership of anything… not even of our bodies… If all around is falseness… the body's truth swells in importance… in order to understand what is being done to us… There is more to say on “the cleansing of the temple” [the body] – which is the object of the prophets' (of 'class'…): to cleanse our minds of the lies of the 'power'-guys: “And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him… and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men [so… we see why these works born in resistance to 'class' all read so prophetic… all sound so eerily prescient – as this of course describes a tactic of the 'power'-guys across 'class'-time: they always “send forth spies which feign themselves just men…” – because 'power' is 'power' is 'power'…] Today… in our discussion of 'stealing our Greatness'… their containment-plays… as illustration we're going to consider some examples of this: the set-up of Hilary Clinton… and the set-up of the first-and-last-ditch buffers… to keep the ass of 'power' covered – the police… and the military generally… their set-up being ours as well… the 'power'-guys goal being to nullify our absolutely essential means for getting free: social media.

As I could not see their winning play (and still don't… the demographics of the country being against them…) I'd made the unwise assumption that the global-'power'-guys had written off the 2016 US Presidential election… 'unwise'… as their doing so runs against character… I should have known better… That they are terrified of Hilary is evidenced by their decades of attacking her (and… by the way… it must be addressed that a significant number of us… we-the-people… despite the evidence of our Reason… still seem willing to say that the media is 'biased to the Right'… rather than admit… it is global-'power's Department of Propaganda…) we've had time to study and discuss… therefore… that they have cultivated a wide range of clandestine tactics… and we've had time to trust the conclusion of our Reason… that where there is orchestration of media… we are seeing the hidden-hand of the 'power'-guys… who hide ensconced in layers in order to perpetuate the illusion… the theater… theater it is… the political arena… the 'power'-guys love to invent stories… love to construct scenes – which they make you see… repeatedly… when you are made a target… and I am convinced… that they imagine themselves 'artists'… a thought which always brings to mind the art museum scene in the Tim Burton film Batman… in which the Joker… played by Jack Nicholson… dancing about to Prince singing “Party Man”… says to a woman he's 'trying to impress': “I make art till someone dies. I am the world's first fully-functioning homicidal artist. We mustn't compare ourselves to regular people. We're artists. You will take pictures of my work… join me in the avant-garde of the new aesthetic…” (thinking of that scene now… I can see why it would appeal to Prince… I can't tell you how many times that scene has come to me… as capturing perfectly the mindset and self-assessment of the 'power'-guys… I like this scene as a metaphor for 'power' also because it conveys the truth that the 'power'-guys all want us to be 'happy'… wear a big smile… be 'happy'-slaves…You hear in the Joker's words these that follow of Hitler's: “My pedagogy is hard… I want my young people strong and beautiful. That way I can create something new.”

The global-statesmen employ numerous tactics within their overall strategy of staying hidden… all of which require the use of hidden-actors – both recruited and bred (that they rely heavily on the use of children as 'operatives'… because children are so eager to please – due to the structurally-enforced abandonment of children – and because they don't ask questions…) 'Power's favorite tactic… and most common… is constructing the 'lose – lose': The global-statesmen's fixation on 'proving' they are 'the best' leads them to devote legions of minions to the 'work' of fabricating – for all possible threats – 'lose – lose' situations that their 'adversaries' can be thrust in. The 'lose – lose' set-up requires numerous corollary (and inter-related) tactics: 'the constantly-shifting-ground'… “'shock-and-awe-with-technological supremacy / audacity / pseudo-wizardry'… 'Iago-whispering' (that one is really nasty… I'm sure they've got some notches on their belt they continuously grow to indicate the suicides they've provoked with that one…) 'the false-surround'… 'narrowing your focus'… 'crowding to trip you up'… 'provocation to survival-mode'… 'the thousand-small-cuts' or 'dispirit with overwhelming pettiness' (“they don't care where they kick… just as long as they hurt you…”) And in the media… aside from outright fabrication… they depend on skewing… on selective presentation and interpretation of the 'facts'… using a tactic we could call “selective spotlighting”… Once global-'power' makes you a target… their underlying objective (aside from your elimination entirely…) is to keep you off-balanced… pressure you such that you end up seeming to be the cause of your own downfall. Recall: Hilary has been hounded by these guys for decades. Her survival in that world – almost commensurate to Prince's in his – is a testament to enormous strength… her survival alone is provocative to these guys… they hate to not get their way… they are a vicious bunch of abandoned children…

The story reconstructed: A sixteen-year-old girl… whose mother works for the Oakland Police Department… began posting nude or semi-nude (unclear) photos of herself on her Facebook page while having discussions about sex via Instagram with officers at her mother's workplace… what is required of us… we should ask ourselves… to make this plausible?… under what circumstances would a 16-year-old encourage her mother's co-workers (who also happen to be police officers) to view sexually explicit pictures of herself? Under what circumstances would you at age sixteen do this? And then we should ask ourselves: what was the effect on those who were the targets of her acts? “How do they steal our Greatness?… Is it not by keeping us so divided we cannot see what each One is doing?… Ah… but they do… don't they? Is it not 'they'… and 'they' alone – the ones who lust for Total Control – who see… 'Everything'?… the Big Picture?…” Who knows what's really going on in the places in which we are contained? ('cities'…) not those kept busy in offices circulating and recirculating the alienated and abstracted (read: 'stolen') life-energy of the earth… Who knows what's really going on?… the low-income in 'non-traditional' survival-gigs… and the police… Who do they (the ones who want to be gods… who want to 'know everything'… be 'in charge'… etc. etc.…) who do they most not want comparing notes on what is going on in our places of containment?: those not in nine-to-fives… those who have time to see what's happening in their 'cities'… and especially the police. We don't see our Greatness because we've been denied access to the whole – the right story… the 'genius' of our freedom… our natural 'harmonic arrangement' that blossoms when we're left unmolested.… The system of “hire-by-'power'” means that every one of us is available to the shadow-global-'state'… means that any one of us could become… unwittingly even… a secret-agent of global-'power'… who have but only one allegiance: winning… or rather… apologies… their paterfamilias: Plato.

For our Proudhon reading please revisit the posted excerpt from the November 8, 2015 show in which we noted that when we're kept busy and separated… through jobs and atomization… we can't develop our thought process… But we also can't – what we're focusing on today – we cannot see the Big Picture… we cannot know the truth: what's happening to us… and that's changing for many reasons… we're sharing our thoughts globally… they can't provide the jobs and more and more folk are regaining their thought process… the word is spreading about the actual factors shaping us and the suppressed discussions… discussions we need to get on an authentic path to freedom… Among these is the critical 'transition-to-freedom' thinking of Proudhon… Proudhon: “Now, neither a commercial, nor an industrial, nor an agricultural association can be conceived of in the absence of equality; equality is its sine qua non. So that, in all matters which concern this association, to violate society is to violate justice and equality. Apply this principle to humanity at large.… By this principle, the man who takes possession of a field, and says, “This field is mine,” will not be unjust so long as everyone else has an equal right of possession; nor will he be unjust, if, willing to change his location, he exchanges this field for its equivalent. But if, putting another in his place, he says to him, “Work for me while I rest,” he then becomes unjust, unassociated, unequal. He is a proprietor… Reciprocally, the sluggard [if indeed there is such a thing… 'sluggishness' may be disguised resistance to the suppression of our human-ness… our authentic-ness… – P.S.], or the rake, who, without performing any social task, enjoys like others – and often more than others – the products of society… [with Alice's help… we can say with confidence that this would be a very short-lived problem… if it existed at all… under conditions of freedom – i.e.… in our world premised on abundance and non-coercion. In that world the joy of having each other again – being able to live our inherent communalism – is the wealth we crave… And the children we raise… on the milk of that joy… and the honey of our resumed mutual aid… ensure the continuance of both… With 'power' de-throned… we manifest the generosity of the earth – only organized… concentrated… 'power' is a threat… and with each one of us tapping into the richness conceived of 'all'… that threat can never exist again… There is no 'coercion' in the world of our making… – P.S.]”

 

[“160529noprinceautopsycoveragemeans_7.mp3”:]

 

Proudhon: “On the one hand, the idea of justice being identical with that of society, and society necessarily implying equality, equality must underlie all the sophisms invented in defence of property; for, since property can be defended only as a just and social institution, and property being inequality, in order to prove that property is in harmony with society, it must be shown that injustice is justice, and that inequality is equality – a contradiction in terms… [we now are clear on how they 'justified' this clear contradiction by utilizing the propagandistic writings of Plato and Hegel to invent a 'good' 'higher' than the realization of the social instinct in a just and joyous society based in the full and self-sufficient participation of each… They tell themselves that only 'the wise' can discern this 'greater good'… and then ensure – by means of the absence of equality… by manufacturing 'scarcity'… the absence of full access to our gifts… the absence of justice – that their reasoning will never be subjected to honest scrutiny… or “tested… in the fire of controversy…” – P.S.] Within universal society there exist for each of us as many special societies as there are individuals; and we are bound, by the principle of sociability itself…” […this principle being the earth speaking in us… we are in sync with our bodies… our earth… by attending to it. There is an argument to be made… that not listening to our bodies… because forced to dissociate from them as infants – as subjects of 'rule'… of 'class'… of the global-state – is the source of all our malaises… Proudhon… like Prince… is entirely fresh… exactly what was needed when they arrived… – and as I write this coda: on May 29, 2016… they still haven't released it seems… the results of the autopsy… we should ask ourselves… what level of control and repression of the media is needed to keep reporters from reporting on this story?… – P.S.]

Prince was a shining light – a beacon – sent to us so that we might see… the power of letting the body speak… a living example of the truth: “A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid…” He took those words to heart… and then 'power' unleashed on him their secret weaponry… for the use of which… until we change this… they have zero accountability. But all over the globe we can see the power and truth of letting the body speak… We see it in the older women dancing in the streets across China… and we see it in the youth of Afghanistan – their elders following – saying with their voices and feet that the state will not force them to be second-class citizens… …and we see it in Nuit Debout… and Tunisia… coming together to claim an 'evolutionary' moniker… coming together to say that the problem is 'the system'… and everywhere we do this… states fight back with infusions of media-propaganda and the funding of hidden 'assets'… to sow seeds of division and confusion… (…and though we often say this… it must be reiterated [as all we get from the propaganda-machinery is versions of it in the affirmative…]: these guys want us to think the problem is 'greedy corporations'… that the problem is 'money'… and they aren't about that… is their rationalization… not accumulation for its own sake – they just want all the money… and for us to get out of the way… after all… they have a world to make… and we're just the hired help… Confusion as to 'the truth'… confusion about what's going on… is literally an energy blockage… We need to know the truth… the actual forces that shape our world in order to release our energy and our power…

Yes.

Children perceive the rigid imposition of a fixed structure… the artificial 'order' (of a 'class'-system…) with fear and anxiety – it violates their nature… their inherent freedom… but as it is parents who impose it… they must construct the belief that there has to be a terrible-powerful reason to require that which is unpleasant and sad to replace that which is joyous and free… and the puzzle consumes them… for it is never authentically explained… and in the end most give in and become what they believe their parents want: small… rigid… humans… on the lookout for violations of 'the structure'… the 'necessary' rigidity. The systematically privileged among them are sent to 'advanced' education to learn intricate 'explanations' for the madness in order to separate them from their Brothers and Sisters… and serve as buffers to protect the hiddenness of 'power': to stop we-the-people from putting two and two together such that truth can flash round the world and our uncoerced future… based in abundance… begin. “Let's return to them their fear…” we said… “and take up our original endowment: in the form of our 'unity-responsibility-project'… starting with: “unity with the children…” children need to see our confidence… see that we do indeed know we are here to be powerful and exuberant… to fully develop our gifts… and that we value their likewise assurance… the 'power'-guys have been disastrously effective in shaping the planet because they work in concert and their ambition is conscious… They show us the critical elements for the achievement of a global vision… we need strong cores… the body is the temple that harbors our souls – our knowledge of the eternal – and our bodies have been 'invaded' (occupied…) by thieves… and just as Prince said… they're looking for our souls… to murder them… the global-state-statesmen are very much aware of the political implications of the truism that “children are the future” – i.e.… as Kissinger told us… they believe the role of the 'statesmen' is to determine the future… and they are determined to aggressively install it ('the system') in the children as early as possible… which means that their authentic selves are threatened… and must be defended. Global-state statesmen believe they own us (there's a cachet associated with their degree of control of us… as they vie with each other for rank…) And they start by breaking the spirits of the children… and all lovers of freedom – and as 'class' is totalitarian (inherently…) this is a global phenomenon.

[“160515vitalityofconscience_2.mp3”:]

 

Proudhon: “For there is one truth of which I am profoundly convinced – nations live [and now… as 'class' is profoundly totalitarian… we may say 'the world lives'… – P.S.] by absolute ideas, not by approximate and partial conceptions; therefore, men are needed who define principles, or at least test them in the fire of controversy. Such is the law, – the idea first, the pure idea, the understanding of the laws of God, the theory: practice follows with slow steps, cautious, attentive to the succession of events; sure to seize, towards this eternal meridian, the indications of supreme reason. The co-operation of theory and practice produces in humanity the realization of order, – the absolute truth. [And what Proudhon means by these terms is not of course what the 'power'-guys (like Hegel…) mean by them… – P.S.] All of us, as long as we live, are called, each in proportion to his strength [and let's not forget what Alice said: to force on children the principle of 'absolute obedience' saps their vitality and destroys their strength… rendering them for their lifetimes servants only of their masters ('power'… 'abuse'… 'Authority'…) never of the truth… – unless… by some happy chance… they gain the information they need to break free of that conditioning… – P.S.], [as long as we live we are called] to this sublime work. The only duty which it imposes upon us is to refrain from appropriating the truth to ourselves, either by concealing it, or by accommodating it to the temper of the century, or by using it for our own interests. This principle of conscience, so grand and so simple, has always been present in my thought.”

O proletaires, proletaires! how long are you to be victimized by this spirit of revenge and implacable hatred which your false friends kindle, and which, perhaps, has done more harm to the development of reformatory ideas than the corruption, ignorance, and malice of the government?… How successful you would have been if, in order to influence men, you had appealed to the self-love of men…” – with Proudhon… we want to understand… and… more specifically… as our Alice said… gain information about the despised 'other' – would not this… gained experience… be the most needed content… of authentic 'self'-defense?

It was from Kropotkin that we first learned of Proudhon's 'system de-commissioning' strategy (which sounds very like St. Luke, 20: 25… which we'll get to next week: “Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's…”) He favored an approach he called 'Mutuellisme'… Kropotkin: “Under such a system… all the exchanges of services would be strictly equivalent. Besides, such a bank would be enabled to lend money without interest, levying only something like 1 per cent, or even less, for covering the cost of administration. Every one being thus enabled to borrow the money that would be required to buy a house, nobody would agree to pay any more a yearly rent for the use of it. A general “social liquidation” would thus be rendered easy, without expropriation. The same applied to mines, railways, factories, and so on.”

How complimentary Kropotkin and Proudhon are – Kropotkin was thinking a lot about what it would look like: our de-centralized… mutually-supporting… network of associations…And Proudhon was thinking similarly – in fact… Kropotkin may have been inspired by that idea of Proudhon's – Proudhon may have stimulated his thinking to go to the next step of actually doing it. But Proudhon is so critical for the actual 'transition'-thinking that we're doing… because 'the system' is a train that we have to gradually slow down – and I don't mean 'gradually' in terms of 'years'… because we have a 'global' system with 'global' folk… seven billion – it is simply a matter of getting the critical mass working on this… each of us doing our bit… working on some part of it… that slows this sucker down… grinds it to a halt – that is our sole focus in coming shows: “how do we do that?… how do we withdraw our 'fuel' from that train that is determined to destroy everything?”… because of that repetition compulsion.

Proudhon: “The principal cause of the evil [of the current system] lay in the accumulation and immobility of capital of all sorts, – an immobility which prevented labor, enslaved and subalternized ['kept below every other'… – P.S.] by haughty idleness, from ever acquiring it… Labor invented money. Afterwards, this invention was revived and developed by the bill of exchange and the Bank. For all these things are substantially the same, and proceed from the same mind.… By this means [the bill of exchange], oppressed equality was enabled to laugh at the efforts of the proprietors [the aristocracy], and the balance of justice was adjusted for the first time in the tradesman's shop [this is why… as Wallerstein explains in his book The Modern World-System IV: Centrist Liberalism Triumphant, 1789 – 1914… (sections of which we read in our “Embracing Global Goals” series of shows… for example in our November 15, 2015 show) this is why they were called 'liberals'… – P.S.]. Now I say that, to establish equality among men, it is only necessary to generalize the principle upon which insurance, agricultural, and commercial associations are based. I say that competition, isolation of interests, monopoly, privilege, accumulation of capital, exclusive enjoyment, subordination of functions, individual production, the right of profit or increase, the exploitation of man by man, and to sum up all these species under one head, that PROPERTY is the principal cause of misery and crime…” …and he would abolish it by means of reforms to what exists… without any expropriation… both because… with Karl Popper… he believes the development of we-the-people to be necessarily continuous – as it is our nature… our earth-gift… to do so – and so believes… with Karl Popper… in piecemeal social engineering…

In our reading last week Proudhon was making the point that we – with all animals – are alike in our possession of a social nature… and that this social nature is incorporated consciously into our personalities… by means of our powers of analysis… in a just human society… but that fears afflicting some ('class'-reared-humans – although in truth… to be just… we must fix this responsibility on Plato's Tribesmen…) fear caused them to project onto the future their assumptions about what 'must be' to prevent the 'coming-to-be' of their worst fears (that being… I suspect… underlying the lies they tell themselves… that they were unloved as infants… and that their entire schema for 'rationalizing' the world is a product of this abuse… their experience of psychic and physical Abandonment… and that all of their subsequent actions are sprung from that damage – that fear of exposure of their fundamental weakness of constitution… their lack of wholeness… their loss of spontaneity… vitality… feeling – these lacks in them they fear will be exposed for all to see… that all will see they are the root of their deep-seated hate… and their fear as well… that we-the-people… once free of the hate they have fixed on us… will create our over-due world of abundance and love… a world bounteous and just – the very opposite of what they contend… that we represent 'chaos.' [This brings us to the consideration of whether this mindset reflects… in fact… the central dualism of 'class': the distinction between 'citizen' and 'barbarian'… upon which distinction (assumption… premise…) the Plato's Tribesmen have hung their entire self-justification – destroying countless lives in their fundamental misconceptions – forcing all life into its Utopian social engineering experiment.] Popper: “Inherent in Plato's programme there is a certain approach towards politics which, I believe, is most dangerous. Its analysis is of great practical importance from the point of view of rational social engineering. The Platonic approach I have in mind can be described as that of Utopian engineering, as opposed to another kind of social engineering which I consider as the only rational one, and which may be described by the name of piecemeal engineering.”

So do we see that if we allow anyone to be EMF-assaulted… we could be next on the list… to receive the same 'treatment' one day?… We let Prince suffer because we didn't know… but from this point forward… we are complicit in the suffering of any artist… and we will lose their gifts… which we need to see our true selves… For until we regain our world… reclaim our 'selves' and our gifts… artists harbor them… They are our treasures… the treasures within…)

There's two fronts on which we can immediately address these hidden threats: circulating a petition demanding accountability of the Department of the Navy – to divulge… identify… itemize… and explain the use of any EMF-weapons that can be used against individuals… and then… under oath… to explain whether they are used against citizens of the U.S.A. – and then… reclaiming ourselves… beginning to practice wholistic (authentic) self-defense… is key… We've been allowing artists to be put at extreme risk in order to be an artist… We may likely never know how many did so at the cost of their lives… This is not going to stop until we step up… – and Prince's example – a potent illustration of the power and vitality that comes from owning one's authentic freedom – could have provided the answer… might have convinced more of us that we have to talk about these things: the punishment heaped on those who are authentic beings – and doesn't 'authentic' mean 'happiness'?… which explains 'power's determination to punish it… to make it – force it to be – 'unhappy'… and forestall any challenge to the state on these grounds. These folks that bring 'the punishment' – hidden-'power' – have been breathing down Prince's neck for almost all of his adult life. Imagine the courage it took to not let them steal his love.

Proudhon: – “In all these cases, man is moved by an internal attraction towards his fellow, by a secret sympathy which causes him to love, congratulate, and condole; so that, to resist this attraction, his will must struggle against his nature. But in these respects there is no decided difference between man and the animals. With them, as long as the weakness of their young endears them to their mothers, – in a word, associates them with their mothers [I've also witnessed (in seagulls) how 'weakness' in one's fellow inspires we-animals to help… We see then what a complete overthrow of our natures is accomplished with poisonous pedagogy… when children are led to despise 'weakness'… – P.S.], – the latter protect the former, at the peril of their lives, with a courage which reminds us of our heroes dying for their country [Let's update this… now that we've got a good look at our Global Band of Brigands who coalesced in the aftermath of the French Revolution… and their cynical adoption of fascism when it suits their purpose… the Plato's Tribesmen – let's update this to read: “…for the freedom of human beings globally… – P.S.] There is, however, a difference between us two-handed bipeds and other living creatures – what is it?… It is by our reflective and reasoning powers, with which we seem to be exclusively endowed, that we know that it is injurious, first to others and then to ourselves, to resist the social instinct which governs us, and which we call justice. [Two thousand years previous to Proudhon's writing this… Plato attempted to overthrow this definition and replace it with: “service to the state…” and yet… it lived on… until Plato's Tribesmen… Republic in hand… re-vitalized it… by seizing command of our world… using its tool… 'the economy'… – P.S.] It is our reason which teaches us that the selfish man, the robber, the murderer – in a word, the traitor to society – sins against Nature, and is guilty with respect to others and himself, when he does wrong wilfully.… [This provides support to the argument we've been making in this space… that the mindset of 'rule'… of 'power'… of 'class'… leads to the atrophy of thought… – P.S.]”

 

[“160508ourgiftsareincommonwith_7.mp3”:]

 

Proudhon: – “Finally, it is our social sentiment on the one hand, and our reason on the other, which cause us to think that beings such as we should take the responsibility of their acts.… Our appreciation (I do not say exclusive appreciation, for the animals also realize that they have done wrong, and are indignant when one of their number is attacked, but), our infinitely superior appreciation of our social duties, our knowledge of good and evil, does not establish, as regards morality, any vital difference between man and the beasts.”

 

[“160508justiceunpacked_8.mp3”:]

 

Proudhon: – “The second degree of sociability is justice… The sentiment of justice we share with the animals; we alone can form an exact idea of it; but our idea, as has been said already, does not change its nature. We shall soon see how man rises to a third degree of sociability which the animals are incapable of reaching. But I must first prove by metaphysics that society, justice, and equality, are three equivalent terms, – three expressions meaning the same thing, – whose mutual conversion is always allowable. If, amid the confusion of a shipwreck, having escaped in a boat with some provisions, I see a man struggling with the waves, am I bound to go to his assistance? Yes, I am bound under penalty of being adjudged guilty of murder and treason against society. But am I also bound to share with him my provisions?… That which in this instance obscures our duty is our power of foresight, which, causing us to fear an eventual danger, impels us to usurpation, and makes us robbers and murderers.” [This strikes me as a key point… one which explains the psychological dynamic underlying what Karl Popper calls 'historicism' (which I believe is an expression of the 'scarcity'- or 'abandonment'-mindset of 'class' that has so plagued us for millennia…) – and which may allow us to gain a deeper understanding of his related discussion of 'Utopian social engineering' – imposing on the present…or forcing it to accord with… irrespective of the demands which the present makes… one's concept of 'the future.' But then… this is not 'foresight' but 'anticipation'… 'assumption'… that what has been will be again: the posture of 'resistanceless-ness'… 'passivity' vis-a-vis 'possibility'… because unconscious of… a repetition compulsion. But also because the central dualistic mindset of 'class' (another dimension of the 'Abandonment' disease… akin to… or another way of looking at… the assumption of 'scarcity') – the split between 'citizen' and 'barbarian' – attempts to prevent the acquisition of experience with the rejected 'other'… such that we could gain new information… and re-form our consciousness (as Proudhon… with Alice… is confident we can do…) – and this… upon consideration… sends its support to Nikola Tesla's contention that once we attained full access to each other – through instantaneous communication – we would shortly thereafter attain our freedom….

In this week's show we return to this matter of our cultivating a new 'economic' allegiance… using our definition of 'economic': 'suppressed creative expression flowering'… and our on-going need to create and use a language between us that reinforces our right to an authentic Freedom – i.e. based in individual self-sufficiency… which means “no masters”. We will be arguing that the road to this accomplishment is through owning our own spontaneous feelings… a section of the chapter, “Progress” in Waking Up I would write differently… Today… with the benefit of Alice Miller… and Karl Popper… and John Boswell… and Martin Bernal et al.… we can see that it was not the “pressure of 'Necessity'” that drove the (what would eventually become) 'Plato's Tribesmen' to unleash their hate on us… rather it was… base and corrupt… child abandonment – these Tiny Few who plague us today are the progeny of the oblates John Boswell writes of… the abandoned children of the abandoned children of 'princes'… who were mis-guided by that 'original' of the 'global-state-statesman': Plato.

This means linking our resistance together…Arrighi, Hopkins and Wallerstein: “Perhaps the central question is this [say our Good Three]: how, and to what extent, can the well-organized arms of progressive movements in Western Europe, framed as they are by their current forms and immediate concerns, recompose themselves into agencies, not of national realization but of world-historical transformation?

I've been pondering the degree to which artists are at risk because there is no division within them 'servant of the state' and 'human'… one is a human being first… last and always… If we have no choice but to advance that truth without qualifiers of any kind… we will find ourselves targeted. So in our upcoming shows we turn our eyes and hearts to those who possess that… and do that… and call them 'artists'… acknowledging that 'power' is a jealous and paranoid Tribe of restless seekers of 'proof' of their own superiority… and that those who refuse to confirm this lie… by 'taking the money' and pretending that 'the system' is a fit tomb for the soul… the self-hating Tribe of Plato is determined to destroy.… In a previous show when I said that the song “Baby I'm A Star” was quite enough to get Prince targeted… I said it without stopping to let that – what it fully meant – sink in… that the pain… buzzing head… electrical-paralysis (my skull feels numb most of the time these days – the 'hitting' is continuous…) and swollen-ness – and the off-the-charts 'harassment' in ways that cannot be 'proven' (“They don't care where they kick… Just as long as they hurt you…”) The global-state-statesmen hate those who know they shine (for they cannot be controlled…) I knew he was being targeted because targeting me – given my particular circumstances – allowed me to see them… and see therefore their preoccupations… their strategy… and their m.o.… Targeting me with false folk and hidden weaponry… was revelatory… revealed the degree to which they are determined to construct all the thoughts in all of our children's heads… so thereby to interrupt Thought's natural process of growth and prevent any of us from ever recovering our true-power… and therefore from ever wanting to recover our authentic freedom…

Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building and wilt thou rear it up in three days? But he spake of the temple of his body…” I believe he was using 'temple' as metaphor for the body – and “thieves in the temple” perfectly describes the assault with EMF of the 'power'-guys on the 'temple' that is our body – and (as Leuren Moret said…) they can literally remotely monitor brain activity.

We have to understand that we are butting up against folks with limitless resources – so long as we allow them to continuously draw on us… because we are the abundance they bloat themselves on – who see themselves as playing the long-game… that is… they live to conceive and execute plots that require years to bring complete denouement… i.e.… they never see 'end' to their meanness… will never concede… We… on the other hand… have been… not just too tolerant of their need to feel dominant… not just too unsure of our own gifts… too unappreciative of them… too trapped in the immediate… and the imposed atomization… but we haven't had a language in which to discuss it… and of course the means of discourse… and this is where artists come in… striving courageously to provide it… both the language… and the linkages between us… That artists exist provides the clear… living… evidence that 'class' is totalitarian… as… by their contrast we see the degree to which our world has been sculpted such that the vast majority are kept from our due development… conditioned to see ourselves not as human beings but as 'workers'. In the absence of our backing… artists have no choice but to lay low… go private… to the detriment of all of us. We are not making it safe for them to take chances… use their greater reach to support global freedom for all – and in that absence we prolong our due freedom indefinitely. But if we were to demand discussion of 'power's clandestine tactics and weapons… would that still be the case?

 

[“160501commandeeringthechildren_5.mp3”:]

 

“The Outer From the Inner derives its magnitude…” said Emily. The 'power'-guys want to construct our 'inners' to ensure we will never develop any magnitude sufficient to challenge them… And this is done by taking control of the children (because that is… in fact… how the system reproduces itself… how could we ever have not been discussing this?… it is so obvious… and that is done – taking control of the children is done – by means of the coerced-work system – we are forced as parents to abandon them… This commandeering of our spirits has happened to each and every one of us (under 'class'…) reducing our lives to a choice between being strictly controlled – staying where we're put on 'power's dinner-table – or being cleared from the table… never getting a chance to grow our gifts… always remaining inanimate objects (until our freedom animates us… that is unfortunately what we are: puppets of 'power'… when they construct and hold the strings that constrain us…) objects subject to 'power's “'right' of disposal”… This brings us to another group of highly-targeted folk (also 'artists'…): those who work with children. 'Power' wants the influences that reach our children to be strictly monitored… regulated… and overhauled – not to ensure that children's self-development is supported… but rather to ensure 'power's continued domination by sowing within the children fascistic proclivities. How do we 'be authentic'… in a totalitarian reality?… in the absence of the support we create in our 'associations' to build global unity towards freedom? I raised this question last week because my process of thinking-through what an “authentic 'self-defense' practice” must do… along with some observations as I assist with the teaching of pre-schoolers 'self-defense'… has raised questions… and brought up my own unconscious channeling of the hidden-'state' – demonstrating to me how much we need each other to grow beyond 'power's totalitarian conditioning of us.

A lot of us start out asking why the 'Golden Rule' – “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you…” – cannot… it seems be observed… We know now that to do so would end 'the system'… making it a radical and heroic act to continue raising the question. Let's start with the children… we must not tell them what words to speak… what thoughts to think… they have their own thoughts… which surpass ours for clarity by far. I have learned to ask a favor of the parents who prompt 'political' (i.e. state-sanctioned) speech or acts in their children… to please refrain… because children have their own voices… their own minds… their own ability to judge and think… and that it is by watching us that they learn what it is possible to be… and that one thing we absolutely do not want… is for them to become robots.

Proudhon: “Now, all systems exist only on certain conditions…” [that of 'class' being to train children to be puppets of 'Authority'… – P.S.]. “What, then, are the conditions, the laws, of human society? What are the rights of men with respect to each other; what is justice?” [And he is talking about what should be… what must be… for us to be human – not in his worst dreams could he have imagined what we are accepting today as our 'reality'… – P.S.] “To practise justice is to obey the social instinct [i.e.… to be in harmony with the earth… which means being in harmony with our bodies… respecting their longing to be free… crediting it when they tell us we are not… despite the 'education' we receive… – P.S.]; to do an act of justice is to do a social act. If, then, we watch the conduct of men toward each other under different circumstances, it will be easy for us to distinguish between the presence and absence of society; from the result we may inductively infer the law. Let us commence with the simplest and least doubtful cases. The mother, who protects her son at the peril of her life, and sacrifices every thing to his support, is in society with him – she is a good mother. She, on the contrary, who abandons her child, is unfaithful to the social instinct, – maternal love being one of its many features; she is an unnatural mother. [In the Preface to Waking Up I noted that animals in zoos often turn on their own babies – but… this aside… I do not doubt that Proudhon would recognize in psychic abandonment abandonment-still… and in the poisonous pedagogues of his day and beyond… and in its adherents we call 'Plato's Tribesmen'… a most unnatural band of humans… – P.S.]

I do not except even M. de Bonald's celebrated definition, – man is an intellect served by organs, – a definition which has the double fault of explaining the known by the unknown; that is, the living being by the intellect; and of neglecting man's essential quality, – animality. Man, then, is an animal living in society. Society means, the sum total of relationships; in short, system.…” [I resist the word 'system' with its mechanistic implications: “a set of things working together as parts of a mechanism or an interconnecting network…” – I resist the idea that this word – so evocative of totalitarianism – has anything to do with human societies inherently… i.e. with our voluntary association… i.e. with our future. In our July 12, 2015 show in which we discussed 'de-centralization' as an essential characteristic of our freedom… we quoted Paul Goodman's phrase: “the organization is how we cooperate…” which conveys a thing ever-growing and changing as we learn ever-more about our world and each other. I prefer this conveyance of the dynamic into our picture of freedom… for instance Kropotkin's way of describing it… but he was standing in a place decades-on past this writing of Proudhon's… with the benefit of those decades of intense introduction to the ever-growing concentration of 'power' in the centralized state of the advancing global totalitarian 'order'… He had no choice but to come to grips with the full implications of it in his analysis… on which he based his strategic guidance… – P.S.]

 

[“160424theendofaccumulation_7.mp3”:]

 

Proudhon: “…Now, all systems exist only on certain conditions…” [This sounds like Wallerstein: “My analysis is based on two premises…” he wrote: “The first is that capitalism is a system, and that all systems have lives; they are never eternal. The second is that to say that capitalism is a system is to say that it has operated by a specific set of rules during what I believe to be its approximately 500 years of existence…” – and then he went on to say: “In my view, for a historical system to be considered a capitalist system, the dominant or deciding characteristic must be the persistent search for the endless accumulation of capital – the accumulation of capital in order to accumulate more capital.… The priority of accumulating capital in order to accumulate still more capital seems to me a thoroughly irrational objective. To say that it is irrational… is not to say that it cannot work in the sense of being able to sustain a historical system, at least for a considerable length of time. The modern world-system has lasted some 500 years, and in terms of its guiding principle of the endless accumulation of capital it has been extremely successful. However, as we shall argue, the period of its ability to continue to operate on this basis has now come to an end…” are we feeling it?… the need for authentic thought right now?… – P.S.]

Shout-outs and thanks to those taking to the streets of Paris and across France… in movement called 'Nuit Debout': “In the night… Rise up!” – Seriously. And while it's in protest of Fascist creep… neo-liberal economic policies… imposed austerity – more and more less-and-less – and a global system that wants to keep tight control of us – may it move beyond protest to global planning for a future based in the assumption of abundance and non-coercion… And may we here in the U.S. do the same… and link arms… and aims… and love… and action… inspiring the world to believe in our right to freedom. 'De-commissioning the system' needs to be a world-wide effort… Let's flesh out what that means… in terms of exorcising the internal state and withdrawing our support… denying it human energy… So instead of demanding 'jobs'… we demand land for Earthships… communal living arrangements… and linking our intercommunications globally… It is time to wake up… from our numbing trudging slumber… our treadmill drowse… – the thought that all else but this was being systematically snipped from the picture of our possibilities… that haunted us as we read Alice: “Can this vicious circle ever be broken?… It may be that I am trying to attain something with these texts that either is not possible at all or is completely superfluous. For as long as you are not allowed to see something…” [and regardless of how overt or subtle is this message from the parent… the system 'saying it' is ultimately what silences us – i.e.… there is no alternative available for us to see – there is no option other than performance… pretense… collaboration: the pressures of 'power' on us to conform is merciless. And so what choice do most of us have… but to dissolve our authentic-ness – our original-ness – or bury it… and get on the same side… with 'power'…] Hence our present focus: providing the necessary alternative… beginning the 'de-commissioning' process… understanding the abuse we received as infants… all together… experiencing it as an intentional injury of 'class'… all together…

That we-the-people inevitably move toward claiming our full gifts – and in claiming ourselves we are also claiming each other… and all the more rapidly as we more fully utilize our enhanced capacity for interaction offered by the Internet and instantaneous communication – that this tend exerts an irresistible pull… is undoubtedly true… but is it true that 'power' “can't figure these things out”?… can't resolve the central contradiction for it of our continuous growth and our building unity globally… tied inexorably to 'globalization'… It seems to me today that the 'power'-guys have indeed settled upon a solution… of a kind… the only kind that fits with their repetition compulsion… with their contempt for us… and Plato's imperative of 'cattle'-management: continuously sow divisions between us by funding 'fascists' and 'terrorists' and 'dictators'… and 'corruption'… and 'criminal gangs'… and random acts of tyranny… and 'natural disasters'… while systematically 'managing us' by reducing our numbers – 'High-tech Auschwitz'… how was it that we could imagine that their obsession… systematically sown around the globe just a few decades ago – and on-going – had ever left us… would ever leave us alone? Are we ready yet… to provide to the would-be-gods their needed 'check'?… to play the 'emphatic partner' to the 'power'-patient… such that… we can develop the world our children need to grow their gifts… under their own direction… a world unsullied by the sick lies and corrupt intents of the 'power'-guys?

 

[“160417electionplans_3.mp3”:]

 

And I hate to talk about the 2016 U.S. presidential election because we got a bigger ambition… but so does 'power'. Let's not forget that we are embracing global goals because that is the only way to get our lives back… stand with the planet… and with all our Brothers and Sisters… I.e.… 'power' is global… and its strategy of containing our thoughts within the narrow bounds that its allows means… all media – and perhaps particularly progressive media – is strictly monitored and vetted… and this means two things when Hilary is attacked from all 'ends' of the political spectrum: they know she can win… and that she is not the total puppet they want in the Oval Office – and it also means they want no further impediments to getting a firm lock on us here in the U.S.… forestalling our ability to help our Brothers and Sisters globally… They want that office… and the fact that they are afraid of Hilary is actually sufficient reason for me to support her… but… again… our ambition is not 'fixing the state'. 'Fixing the state' is fixing 'for 'power' our cage… making it 'nicer' and 'tighter' so they don't have to fear us. If we must ensure that a Republican not get in that office… please weigh strategically… what that would mean.

Organizing for Global General Strikes ('global' in every sense of the word: 'all of us together' across those categories… the false divisions… of 'class'… and all of us geographically… Only by happenstance did I learn about Nuit Debout – a lot is going on around the world with our Brothers and Sisters that we don't know about… We have to struggle with unifying our efforts together… but I really hope folks across the globe in thinking through the analysis have arrived at the conclusion that the Global General Strike is irreplaceable as a strategy for moving us forward and developing the unity we need…it's so important… and is a strategy that needs to be on-going to move us to de-commissioning… But once we start having Global General Strikes… that is linked… necessarily… to the conversation about global de-commissioning… and I'm so grateful to Proudhon for having thought this through… thought through some suggestions and options to share with us… to give us hope… I'm so moved by the notion of someone two hundred years ago providing hope… writing… trusting… it would arrive despite… and… believe me… there was a whole lot of 'despite' thrown against this man… as with all of the ancestors that we need… who saw the reality of our unity… and our 'bigness'…

In coming together we invoke the true power of the earth… to challenge the disaster we have been intentionally sunk in. And I have to tell you… that before this – this personal story I'm in… of being tracked and targeted and assaulted – started… I didn't know there were so many lost souls – though I should have done… for I was one (the very reason I couldn't know…) But we have to know… to change it. In our collective grieving it doesn't matter if anyone else is authentic… as long as we are… we model it… and let the earth-in-us do the rest. And we must remember… our individual and collective purposes are conjoined – Alice conjoined with Proudhon – that while 'de-legitimization' and 'decommissioning the global-system' have been discussed before as abstract concepts… rarely… if at all… before… have they received practical expression… particularly in the context of our asserting our right – in association – to happiness.

Disregard then, reader, my title and my character, and attend only to my arguments. It is in accordance with universal consent that I undertake to correct universal error; from the opinion of the human race I appeal to its faith. Have the courage to follow me; and, if your will is untrammelled, if your conscience is free, if your mind can unite two propositions and deduce a third therefrom, my ideas will inevitably become yours. In beginning by giving you my last word, it was my purpose to warn you, not to defy you; for I am certain that, if you read me, you will be compelled to assent. The things of which I am to speak are so simple and clear that you will be astonished at not having perceived them before, and you will say: “I have neglected to think.” Others offer you the spectacle of genius wresting Nature's secrets from her, and unfolding before you her sublime messages; you will find here only a series of experiments upon justice and right, a sort of verification of the weights and measures of your conscience. The operations shall be conducted under your very eyes; and you shall weigh the result.

Proudhon: “Nevertheless, I build no system. I ask an end to privilege, the abolition of slavery, equality of rights, and the reign of law. Justice, nothing else; that is the alpha and omega of my argument: to others I leave the business of governing the world. [Exactly… end 'power' and our 'power'-bent backs will straighten… our souls will expand into our greatness… and our society will unfold in accordance with that… – P.S.] One day I asked myself; Why is there so much sorrow and misery in society? [Is that not our first conscious question… under 'class'… if… as he says… “(our) will is untrammelled, (and our) conscience… free…” – P.S.] Must man always be wretched? And not satisfied with the explanations given by the reformers… I sought to fathom the matter myself. I have consulted the masters of science; I have read a hundred volumes of philosophy, law, political economy, and history; would to God that I had lived in a century in which so much reading had been useless! I have made every effort to obtain exact information, comparing doctrines, replying to objections, continually constructing equations and reductions from arguments, and weighing thousands of syllogisms in the scales of the most rigorous logic.… But I must say that I recognized at once that we had never understood the meaning of these words, so common and yet so sacred: Justice, equity, liberty; that concerning each of these principles our ideas have been utterly obscure; and, in fact, that this ignorance was the sole cause, both of the poverty that devours us, and of all the calamities that have ever afflicted the human race [under 'class'… Is this not a perfect illustration of how… by following our questions… we recover our authentic self… i.e.… we make ourselves… and a perfect illustration as well… of why 'power' wants to stop our thinking?… – P.S.]”

 

[“160417lawsofourmind_8.mp3”:]

 

Proudhon: “Hence we reason by the eternal and absolute laws of our mind, and at the same time by the secondary rules, ordinarily faulty, which are suggested to us by imperfect observation [or one's parents perhaps?… – P.S.]. This is the most fecund source of false prejudices, and the permanent and often invincible cause of a multitude of errors. The bias resulting from these prejudices is so strong that often, even when we are fighting against a principle which our mind thinks false, which is repugnant to our reason, and which our conscience disapproves, we defend it without knowing it, we reason in accordance with it, and we obey it while attacking it. Enclosed within a circle, our mind revolves about itself, until a new observation, creating within us new ideas, brings to view an external principle which delivers us from the phantom by which our imagination is possessed…”

…what he is proving… as he said… is that 'property' not only possesses no social utility… but… far worse… it leads… as Polanyi said… to the “dissolution of society…” – which we can see is so when we look around us with conscious eyes and minds – i.e.… with reclaimed bodies and therefore 'selves' – and recognize that anything that still contains a modicum of health – the earth and its species… ourselves and societies – does so as an act of defiance and constant struggle to exist… when what we need is a world that supports it… Now… given that Proudhon wrote this almost two hundred years ago… which means the 'power'-guys have long-since studied it and perceive the threat it poses to its official raison d'etre – i.e.… to further 'progress' – we cannot but accept… as we synthesize and advance Proudhon's gift… that the result we see around us is the intention: that while 'property' serves no social purpose… it does serve an anti-social one – what the 'power'-guys have in mind… is complete consumption (privatization) of the earth… and the dissolution of us… Proudhon: “Property, being capable of defense only on the ground that it produces utility, is, since it produces nothing, for ever condemned. All consumption which is not reproductive of utility is destruction…” … i.e.… he is identifying… describing… trying to help us see… the 'conception'… birth… of 'property'… in a fundamental deceit… So when he calls 'property' “an effect without a cause…” he means without an honest cause – that its existence is hidden in… he would say: “lies we tell ourselves…” or 'misconceptions'… but which I would call an 'ever-seekingness' (which is the opposite of 'following our questions'… discussed in Waking Up…) and Alice Miller would call a 'compulsion'… utterly irrational… and rooted in the early childhood experience and practice of abandonment…

“If the goal of 'power' is to privatize everything… obviously the goal of 'power' is to create scarcity. Period. It's very straight-forward… our reasoning powers lead us to the truth… because it's obvious when you disregard the conditioning… the deep propaganda… and use your own reason… as all of our ancestors have been telling us…” [From the Waking Up Radio show of November 25, 2012]

There is a whole body… mind… and soul… there in Mr. Burns… showing us how it is a longing for freedom-in-union-and-wholeness being expressed… in all healthy longing… based in a soul-sufficiency of spirit – …where we're going… where we tend… is what we must cultivate within.… Essentially our Good Three are asking whether… and if so how… centralizing the resources of the earth into the hands of the Miniscule Few could “replace the interstate system's market-regulation via hegemony…” (i.e. a hegemonic state maintains 'order' in the world through its deciding control of where resources go… via its command of pricing mechanisms…)

 

[“150426theworldwewant.mp3”:]

 

So we can make planning spaces that are 'safe'… once we define their qualities. (And that's the theme for today's show: “Establishing a 'safe' place to plan and express our love: places for the cultivation of soul-sufficiency”… so that's perhaps where we begin in defining these qualities: What would make a place a place of cultivation of soul-sufficiency?… because it has to be that to be 'safe'… we all of us have to be agreed on that… as a starting place.)… so another key quality is: 'continuous growth based in continuous discussion'… because we have to get to a place of 'comfort' in working with our Brothers and Sisters who… don't have access to the process that we're engaged in… and that's going to be difficult…What was the core longing of 1968 if not to be done with false divisions? – i.e. 'class' in all its manifestations?

 

[“150426redefinework.mp3”:]

 

…and we've talked about this in previous shows… how the wage-work-system makes of love… affection… and attention… a scarce commodity – ensuring that the mindset of 'being productive' is systematically reinforced by the structure of the family system itself… that we learn that we have to earn – and that we aren't really able to… truth be told – earn the attention of our parents… It is the perceived 'need' to 'prove' ourselves 'worthy' – the internalized state… our unconscious allegiance with 'power' – that is the problem we must overcome… and I have to add here… that it is real hard to do that while stuck in the wage… I can testify… but it can be done… I can also testify to that… and I write about this towards the end of Waking Up… that as we gain access to new ideas… new thoughts… and as they germinate within us… we can begin to redefine the meaning of wage work in our lives as 'that which must be done for now…' in order to gain the leverage to figure out a way to move beyond it… that's what this is all about… figuring out… how to get out of this trap that we're stuck in…

“Notwithstanding the many and real differences that set the Prague Spring and the Chinese Cultural Revolution apart, the two movements had one thing in common: they were assaults on the dictatorship of the officials… But most Third World states, caught between higher prices for energy resources and stiffer competition from newly industrializing countries, have experienced even greater impoverishment and underdevelopment than they did before 1968. Similar considerations apply to the other subordinate groups. Thus, over the last fifteen years the progressive breakdown of generational, gender, and ethnic barriers to the circulation of elites (which has benefitted quite a few members of each group) has been accompanied by youth unemployment, double exploitation of women, and the immiseration of “minorities” on an unprecedented scale. As for the change in the balance of power between labor and capital, its benefits have accrued mostly to workers engaged in stepping up the automation of labor processes, or in servicing the expanded markets for elites, or in running the relocated plants in their new locations. For the rest, the gains of the late 1960s and early 1970s have been eroded, at first by the great inflation of the 1970s and then by the unemployment of the 1980s. It is probably too early to assess who is benefitting and who is losing in material terms from the crisis of dictatorships. But here too the preliminary record seems to indicate that the material benefits of greater democracy have accrued only to a small fraction of the population.”

Is not the requirement that we be subjects inherent… not just in the 'capitalist world-economy'… but in the logic of 'rule' itself… across 'class'-time?

Why should we relinquish our right to give to ourselves our own 'reproduction'… setting 'economic' categories aside so that we – as opposed to 'things' – may move about freely… and pursue our happiness? Here again we see the trap that is 'economic theory' leaves us nowhere to go… stuck in its 'logic'… In its frame and definitions we remain 'labor' – never human beings – ad infinitum… but in earth-speak… there is an opening… a road… a path… to freedom…

“One may wonder, however, whether this failure of a more favorable balance of power to deliver welfare might not be swinging the balance of power back in favor of dominant groups…” I don't think we need to 'wonder' on that one anymore. They took the technology and ran with it. They put all their eggs in that 'Technology' basket… that 'Weapons Technology' basket. The argument in this space is that… so long as 'class' remains unchallenged… so long as the originating-concession – that First Cause – of our bodies' loss remains unchallenged… there can be no 'improvement' worthy of claiming our ambition… as 'power's ultimate aim will ever be to impose permanent conditions of enslavement – differentially expressed – on all of us. There simply is no turning 'power' away from – whatever it temporarily concedes out of necessity – its totalitarian vision of a permanent global 'class' system… [But then:] “The competitive system absorbs the full energies of most of the people at all economic levels. Constant application, attention, and concentration of energy are the conditions of survival within it, primarily in the specifically economic professions, but also in other activities organized on their model… In a purely capitalist world, what was once energy for war becomes simply energy for labor of every kind…” What 'power' is engaged in at the moment… because they fear what is being called 'the periphery'… and the fact that there are some 'been-wide-awake' folk in this so-called 'periphery'… – that their main concern is locking us down… here in the so-called 'West'… because we have those [technological] resources [that would allow us to facilitate the unification…] and so they want us to remain… indifferent…

“It seemed but a matter of decades until the goals of 1848 would be realized in every corner of the globe.” We are seeing here… once again… how critical is the focus on 'class'… the question of language… controlling the definitions… and… of course… acknowledging hidden 'power'… including the fact that each one of us is 'the system of class' in microcosm… – for if the 'central mood' moving that axis is 'rule'… 'hierarchical control'… the system of 'class'… and we do not challenge that… we are not 'antisystemic'.

And… of course… von Werlhof's point… that: “…An alternative is possible only if we, men and women, succeed in getting back forever not simply the wage, but much more – namely the means of production: our bodies and our children, our houses and our land, our knowledge and our creativity, and the results of our labor.…” This was published at least four years earlier… written for some time before that… and by a woman in their own circle of academics… Why was it not followed up on?… There's confusion as to language in our Good Three's analysis: 'antisystemic' for instance… a point Giovanni Arrighi will himself be making… in the article excerpt shared on this page.… So we see… language… defining… is not some superficial nicety we glance at as we frame our strategic advancement (of the species… to our freedom…) – rather… it's the whole ball of wax… for without linguistic clarity we cannot have theoretical clarity… without which… we cannot… all of us globally… walk in step.

“When 1968 exploded – in Columbia University, in Paris, in Prague, in Mexico City and Tokyo, in the Italian October – it was an explosion. There was no central direction, no calculated tactical planning. The explosion was in a sense as much of a surprise to the participants as to those against whom it was directed. The most surprised were the old left movements… But the explosion was very powerful, shattering many authority relations, and shattering above all the Cold War consensus on both sides. Ideological hegemonies were challenged everywhere and the retreat, both of the powerful strata of the world-system and of the leadership of the old left antisystemic movements, was real. As we have already said, the retreat turned out to be temporary and the new movements were checked everywhere. But the changes in power relations effected by the movements were not reversed.”

 

[“150412legacies.mp3”:]

 

We have been arguing… that with the lens 'keeping the cattle herded'… along with “'power'-plans are clandestine” (a version of: “all politics… intra-state and inter-state… is theater…”) we can see clearly enough to begin to 'de-nationalize' ourselves as a whole… not just our 'labor'. Does Germany secretly work together with Russia to sink all hope of self-determination for Ukraine? Do the myriad 'terrorist' groups… from Mexico… to Nigeria… to Iraq… receive clandestine support from the global-state-statesmen? If we are waiting for 'proof' provided by the 'power'-vetted media to deliver us certainty on such questions… we wait in vain… It is to ourselves and our mutual authentic communications that we must now turn… to plan an authentic future…

“Thirdly, and closely related to the above, pre-1968 power relations between capital and labor have never been restored. In this connection, we should not be deceived by the experience of particular national segments of the capital-labor relation. What must be assessed is the likelihood that the commands of the functionaries of capital be obeyed by their subordinates over the entire spatial domain of the capitalist world-economy, and over a period of time long enough to allow for the interplay of commands and responses to affect the relations of production and the distribution of resources. From this point of view, the central fact of the 1970s and 1980s has been the growing frustration experienced by the functionaries of capital in their global search for safe havens of labor discipline. Many of the locales that in the early 1970s seemed to provide capitalist production with a viable alternative to the restive labor environments of the core zone have themselves turned, one after another, into loci of labor unrest…”

In abandoning our – we-the-people's – original understanding of the concept of 'the class struggle' as global social transformation… the professional Left abandoned us.… So we see from this… the importance of basing action on analysis… and of factoring into it… “hidden 'power'”.

In our last show we questioned whether relations of 'rule' – the crafted 'legitimacy' (the internalized mental states that ensure 'citizens' obey…) nation-states use to compel our obedience – were… in fact… contradicted by relations of production… the rules for consuming the earth global statesmen invent to establish the material conditions that reinforce their rule… We could perhaps think of these two broad arenas as two locks on our ability to move… with the chain being our obedience…

“The tendency shows more fundamentally, if less clearly theoretically, in the question of how relations of rule relate to relations of production. We reach here matters of very considerable civilizational depth, where even the distinction which we have been working with disappears. For the challenge, in process of realization, is to the 'Westernism' of our ways of thinking – and, to short-circuit much – to our ways of conceiving of the 'socialism' of a socialist world-system and so derivatively to our ways of identifying what is or is not 'progressive'…”

Our themes in recent weeks have been 'voice'… how it expresses the soul's development… and how when we see this… when we attend to it consciously – attend to our inherent freedom – we are punished… by 'power'… and rewarded… by all that is true… and good… and eternal. That Goodness which is Beauty… Grace… and Courage in One – though I fear for her at the hands of these sick abandoned children… so determined to rule over us – I will follow anywhere. I have never known such love as she is… such a sun could never be resisted… for her my passion is endless…

 

[“150329elementsoflove.mp3”:]

 

…we have been moving to the conclusion that only by acknowledging the existence of hidden 'power' – and we tended to focus on the professional Left… the pundits – could our analysis… and so our strategy… be set on the right path… towards achieving global human freedom… defined as universal leisure – freedom from necessity – based in individual self-sufficiency and global mutual aid. We could call this… perhaps… the 'mental' route. But is there a 'body' route? Two routes… that meet in the middle?…

 

[“150329soulsufficiency.mp3”:]

 

To say that our new world – that comes from broad… conscious invention (of… by… and for… 'the people…) must be premised on individual self-sufficiency and global mutual aid… requires a closer look at these terms 'individual self-sufficiency' and 'global mutual aid' (along with the other terms that have come forward and we are exploring: 'authentic leadership'… and 'dissolution of rigid institutions'…) …and a useful place to begin might be with the question: can there be individual self-sufficiency truly… without the soul's sufficiency?… in the sense Emily Dickinson meant when she said that “the Soul selects her own Society” (poem 303)… or Walt Whitman… in saying that the soul follows its questions… possesses its own integrity…

 

[“150329lawsforcreations.mp3”:]

 

Can there be a broad… popular… movement for 'soul-sufficiency'?… But there must be… for us to achieve our freedom. What would it look like? How would we know it?… if not by its goals… if not by its representing for all the world?… i.e., 'soul-sufficiency' necessarily means a design tied to others all over the world… necessarily has a global cast… taking on the challenge of consciously composing… a 'global symphony'… of all our voices… “What do you suppose will satisfy the soul, except to walk free and own no superior?”

 

[“150329forcesmysterious.mp3”:]

 

By way of preface: I think it's fair to suggest… that three key objectives of Antisystemic Movements are… first to jog our unstimulated memory of the meaning of the phrase 'the class struggle'… to remind us that it is… by definition… the uncompromising commitment to the achievement of generalized human freedom globally (as it is a world-system in which we are enmeshed…) and second… to encourage us to be strategic… to base 'strategy' on 'analysis'… and then to show us – we-the-people – demonstrably – as the unequivocal result of their analysis – that we-the-people cannot achieve generalized human freedom with the strategy 'claim the state.'

“On the other hand, these means of communication – constructed for information to move inward [up], commands to move outward [down] – are in place and rapidly growing. They are integral to the expanding centralizations of productive capital and its corollary, the extending technical divisions of labor. And they are even more integral to the expanding centralizations of financial capital and its corollary, the expanding official debtor – creditor relational networks. These developmental conditions and tendencies are not in doubt.”

 

“150329relative.mp3”:]

 

I think we can now see… that this whole matter of 'necessary labor' and 'relative surplus value' is about 'power' fine-tuning its control of us… these terms refer to the fact that… in Marxist theory… 'capital' is ever about driving down the price of the 'commodity' 'labor power' by forcing us to accept less and less in the way of our 'quality of life'… that is, by reducing as much possible what it is 'necessary' for us to have… what we must have… in order to keep getting up and going back to them…

Surely… this is not simple greed for its own sake. Can there be any who still think this? How would such explain it?… Lust for status… ego-gratification… alone?

“We must remark here in passing what this contradiction, in this form, implies for those of us who subscribe to the theoretical notion that relations of rule operate by virtue of a condition of consciousness known, since Weber, as their “legitimacy.” Namely, it implies increasingly corrosive effects on the very “right” of the apparatuses of states to compel compliance with state-promulgated rules (“laws”). This sort of “legitimacy” crisis – …the structured incapacity of states to take care of their own, as it were, could so help shift modes of understanding and comprehension that the specifically legitimating domain of “patriotism” becomes secondary – but to what?

We will be arguing today that… we have a collective voice and longing… and when one is stifled – individual or collective – both are stifled. 'The state' – a.k.a. the 'power'-guys – like to pretend they can service our need as living things… these 'stunted-heart-voice-beings' for whom voice is a tool for suppression… not the expression of the soul's course… set… for high-flight. When we take charge of our own lives… we are determined to make our songs soar… and soon enough we learn… that this is not a solo project… that we need each other to know ourselves… see ourselves… our mutual beauty and goodness… support our determination to grow our souls continuously… in a 'system' that punishes these qualities because they must be self-developed. We've lost track of ourselves as 'the people' because nowhere do we see ourselves – see these mutually-self-developed qualities of ourselves… developed in communal relation – visibly expressed… manifest… in the public sphere…

 

Once we hear our fellows' voices call… from other cells across the hall… what can it mean but that we are systematically seeking our songs… breaking down the walls… of the Panopticon?… We said last week that it is our longing – the creative element – from which springs the will… the need… to fight like that little parakeet I watched fight the cage… to fight for the right to speak in our mother-tongue of freedom…

 

In what follows I'm encouraging us to consider that it may be helpful to think of this challenge before us of global social transformation in terms of this word 'composition'… And I've been arguing that the Panopticon is the design by which the world – of 'class' – is structured… I mean… it's obviously hierarchical… this global 'class' system… but it is beyond just hierarchical… what is… I suppose you could say 'innovative 'about the Panopticon is that we are atomized in it… kept from seeing each other… knowing each other… talking to each other… It is… I suppose… for 'power'… the ultimate design for silencing we-the-people… Bentham was obsessed with proving that a tiny… miniscule few could indeed control the vast vast majority… So… with his plan and their vision in hand… 'power' has so far proven him right… We have ten thousand guys running the lives of seven billion… and this is so wrong we have no concept of it… no way to describe it… but… the realization of this untenable situation in its full significance is growing… is sinking in… we are beginning… now… to reclaim our world consciously… and that's the first step to reclaiming it physically… materially… with each other…

 

…'nation'… originally… was never meant to be an authoritarian way of our organizing ourselves… or a totalitarian way of defining ourselves… but rather simply as a way to develop our gifts communally… it's a 'tribalism' based in love… mutual aid… and respect for all peoples… and this explains why 'power' is eager to replace the notion 'nation' with 'region'… a cell in the Panopticon… What happens when 'the people' becomes… in the thinking of 'the professional Left'… 'the proletariat'?… or 'labor'? What gets silenced?… our full human-ness?… our heart and love?… our longing?… sent packing with the note: “Irrelevant”? It is a particularly peculiar relinquishment here in the U.S. given the codified right of 'the people' to pursue happiness…

 

“It is true that conquest of power and achievement of a new productive world are inseparable, and that propaganda for one of them is also propaganda for the other, and that in reality it is solely in this coincidence that the unity of the dominant class – at once economic and political – resides.… The problem can be formulated as follows: since the State is the concrete form of a productive world and since the intellectuals are the social element from which the governing personnel is drawn, the intellectual who is not firmly anchored to a strong economic group…” [I'm asking us to consider… hear… by those words ('economic group'…) that in earth-speak… this means 'the creative element' – our love and joy seized and directed to serve… 'the system' – us… striving to sing our songs… In the language of 'power' these are 'economic' qualities… So when Gramsci says… if a 'intellectual' is not firmly anchored… in that song… he's anchored elsewhere… – P.S.]

 

If the issue is how to find our way out of the maze… the trap… of 'class'… – and I believe it is – and 'the professional Left' has never asked itself… has never (in recent memory) been held by us accountable to answer… how they justify strategically their actions… explain how they lead us to freedom… how reducing us to narrow categories called 'economic' restores our stolen voice… hope… and knowledge of ourselves as powerful – who will step up and do these things? …'big openness' because… here in the US we have the right… the codified right… to come together as a people and discuss if we are happy… Other nations don't have that. We do. And… so long as we don't claim this… claim our right to discuss this… openly… every one of us is at risk… because 'power' attacks dissent clandestinely… and we have to provide big, public back-up for each other… Once we begin organizing… openly… it's much harder for 'power' to snip us out… one by one… Just as their tactic is 'hiddenness'… ours is 'openness'. We want to draw attention to this. That's our only protection. Given the current circumstances… of the 'class struggle'.

 

…but I find I'm thinking something so I'll go ahead and say it: it is impossible to predict how that 'wave' which Gramsci is encouraging us to think about… how it starts to build… or where it starts to build… I know that Marcuse… in a quote we cite often… speculated whether it would be the 'intellectual workers' withholding their critical knowledge and skill – in terms of keeping the systems running – was strategically… perhaps… a place to encourage that initial wave to get rolling. Perhaps. But perhaps it's with that word 'composition'… and beginning to meld our music together… in some way we haven't yet seen a way to… But I am concerned… from just recent observations… about the depth of the conditioning of young people who are trained to be servants of 'the system'… of the global-state-statesmen… I haven't seen a lot that's hopeful in those youth… but I am eager to be pleasantly surprised on that…

…I think we’re at the point where we can… with greater assurance… reject the convolutedness of 'economic theory' of whatever persuasion… and challenge our ‘Marxist’ brethren to consider that to the degree that Marxist theory is an ‘economic’ theory… it harms rather than helps our chances of uniting globally such that the ‘interstate system’… as the means for ‘power’ to escalate its war on us… can be responsibly dismantled… or ‘re-imagined’ as a dissolution of rigid institutions…

[“150322longing.mp3”:]

 

Now… this reveals the pitfalls in our path… when ‘hidden power’ (in both senses… as we'll discuss further below… point being though: what cannot be commandeered authentically by 'power'… is our longing… we long for each other… and I keep coming back to this thought… again… thanks to love walking in… this notion of that creative element… of longing… of what we want… that… when that is awoken in us… and how is that awoken in us?… these are the thoughts that are occupying me at the moment… because… this is how we do this thing… I'm more and more sure… with a love that is a passion… and a passion that is a love… because that can't be mimicked… can it?… See… there tactic is infiltration… is… pretending to be us… but you can't mimic… effectively… this creative element… Imagine… trying to pretend you're… Coltrane… or Billie… Imagine… See you can't even begin on the project… it seems… see I'm wondering about this… to what extent even attempting it… the earth begins to reclaim you…

…and when ‘hidden power’ is not factored into our analysis… we fail to see that ‘claiming the state’ is a bankrupt strategy… and keep cycling back to it… over and over… and even when analysis exposes its futility… it becomes the back-up plan… when we don’t acknowledge that the problem is ‘class’… which… once global… is totalitarian… …and this recognition flows… once the global-state-statesmen… are flushed out of the shadows (conceptually…) and we give the gaining of our freedom… our total focus…

This means that one of these most key fundamentals expressed in this show almost three years ago… is that the creative energy generated… as we honor and respond to life… as we cleave to the life we feel in each other… is infectious… we hunger for each other… we want to be together – that is the most powerful force that furthers this movement… and we shouldn't underestimate it. So… once we start to do it… create the spaces in which life is honored… creativity flourishes… what comes from it cannot be predicted…

 

…creative energy seeks its mate… We do this for each other… miracle… grace… call it what you will… it it the energy by which we reclaim our world… My love and gratitude to those who give it… is endless… We but need to realize it in the physical world of our creation… It's as if all the trials… all the lessons… of my life were preparation for this moment… helping me to come to be… to try to be… fit… fit for being company with… one with… a quality of love I didn't know existed… in the arms of which I place myself utterly… But the proof is in the doing.

 

…so it took me years to put two and two together… and I'm sharing this symptomology because I don't believe that anyone has done that… has been able to put these things together in this way because they have not had that advantage of seeing the pattern… and seeing it… trail you about [referring to my using my car to sleep in to… as I at first thought… escape the EMF fields…]

 

…all to say… I do understand why folks who would otherwise challenge global-'power'… think twice… It is an irrevocable decision – and… for my part… I wouldn't change it for a minute… because I agree with Gorky… it ain't about me. But precisely for that reason… my heart aches at the thought of what others suffer… of what trouble these perpetual abandoned children cause Tenderness and Grace. I'm very grateful for Miklos Nyiszli's Auschwitz for showing us to what extent 'global power' depends on our inability to believe they could do such things… “Why infiltrate an arts organization? It makes no sense…” “Why bother with peace and love advocates?” We have insufficiently appreciated… I think… the degree to which keeping us from thinking is… everything… the whole game… and snipping out those who cause them the slightest trouble… troubles them not at all.

 

‘Shout-outs’ of gratitude this week… to all of you “grappling with the morality of the times…” i.e. facing the moral challenge of the times… these times “when wrong comes up to face us everywhere…” as Christopher Fry put it. Alaa Abd El-Fattah – whose thoughts (and it is for his clarity of thought that he now sits in an Egyptian prison…) – thank you… and please stay strong… and to Nicaragua: Eternal thanks for your determination… putting your lives at risk… to stop this further earth desecration… a canal the real purpose of which is your impoverishment… and stay strong Mexico… as with all nations under this vile global ‘class’-system you have suffered grievous loss… but you are showing us how what is stolen can be re-got…

 

While not all of us experience the ‘class’-system as direct repression (i.e. experience its repressiveness consciously…) or receive its more blatant punishments… we are all experiencing this horror that has never been named (itself a particular horror of ‘class’ – its ‘hiddenness’… that its assault on our humanness is never acknowledged – spoken out loud – as being such…): …the false limits imposed on us… that now… with great determination… we are struggling beyond… recognizing that what is key… is our working together to do this globally…

 

But ‘the people’ cannot determine whether we are… in fact… ‘happy’ as a people… without coming together and asking ourselves that question (and isn't it interesting… all these decades and decades and decades… with those words "as a people…" codified… in front of the face of the US Left… that it has never demanded that we do this… that we come together… as a people… to determine if we're happy…) asking ourselves whether the path down which we are being driven… is the right one…

 

The issues… Sisters and Brothers… are: conscious choice… and growing our gifts under our own earth’s guidance (i.e., our inclinations…) We can choose to come together and decide what we need… as a people… to pursue the collective happiness of all… the determination of which… requires… all of us – we don’t want to be children anymore – We have the right… as life… to develop and create together the conditions that allow this for all of us. The ‘Achilles Heel’ for ‘power’ is ‘free will’. We have to ‘agree’… for ‘rule’ to have legitimacy… And here in the U.S. (if we need such permission…) this right is codified in the Declaration of Independence – i.e…. ‘power’ can’t stop this once we are determined… …this is not ‘revolution’… but rather ‘evolution’… of the human spirit.

Please listen to this brief note… Sisters & Brothers:

 

[March 1, 2015 Note: “They changed the locks on me… and I feel so bereft… by the wayside left…”

 

So… here's the archival show I promised. This is our July 29, 2012 show on: "Why do we need an authentic language?" – look for partial transcripts of key bits over the next few days. This is Part 1. Thanks for your patience.

 

“Love is the highest principle…”

(The rest of the show excerpts will follow shortly.)

 

“We have the same earth beneath our feet… and we really have to start emphasizing… putting our energies on… what unifies us…” (Part 2)

 

“What do you mean by ‘authentic language’…?” “In order to unify and free ourselves of the conditioning of this system which is designed to take our earth away… we have to reclaim earth… It's really quite simple and basic… if we stop and think about it… which jobs don't allow us to do… which is what they're for… and now that there are not enough of the populace locked down in a job… 'power' is trying to figure this one out… and I think it's a rare and very important opportunity that we have to seize here. So… 'earth-based' is my short answer to your question… that… when we start talking about what future we want… we have to… little by little… start reconnecting with the earth… I'm very grateful to the Occupy Movement for… showing us that instantaneously we can begin creating that alternative that is in alignment with the earth if we start aligning ourselves with the earth. It is about saying ‘we're done with this system’… and [it is] the inability to say that… that is holding us back…” (Part 3)

 

“…I think what's key in getting to that place of certainty [that ‘I'm done with this system’…] is claiming your own language… and being able to use that to communicate with others… So I want to talk about how we recognize language that isn't earth-based… that is based on coercion… and manipulativeness… – when did that start?… and… how do you see that today… and how do we not claim that?… we're negotiating these treacherous waters… we're in a situation in which we're actively being atomized… so… how do we negotiate these waters and start claiming our own language… and at the same time avoiding that language which is toxic and used to keep us oppressed?” “…‘how do we negotiate these treacherous waters and begin developing our own authentic language?’… is challenging because we have no regular… purposed… practice of discussing… collectively… where we are at… so… that's a real challenging one. But before we go further into that… [to your question…]: ‘how long has this been going on?’… one of the many reasons I'm grateful to Karl Popper is that he was able to show that… literally… Plato's Republic serves as a propaganda playbook for 'power'… and it has been able to organize and focus the thinking of 'power'… not just towards a clear goal… but towards specific strategies… – propaganda being key because language is key for keeping us confused… because it is literally by controlling our thoughts that we are controlled… literally. So… when Plato was writing there was an active anti-slavery movement… and that Plato saw his mission (as would Hegel thousands of years later [renaming 'nationalism' as something authoritarian…]) to translate and turn around that progressive impulse that is in us as human beings… So… Plato would redefine 'justice' (which had been claimed by the antislavery movement…) as 'supporting the state'… So… I think we can see how focusing on language has enabled 'power' to move steadily towards its goal of 'the best state'… and it sounds almost silly to us… sounds [abandoned-childish…] that these nutty preoccupations could have hijacked the entire planet for millennia… So… how to go about reclaiming language after literally thousands of years of having it chipped away at…” (Part 4)

 

“…You can chip away at the human spirit… but we are alive… and that's in our corner… despite all of this energy that has been used to keep us down… we have the creative element on our side… that is very infectious… we want to connect to one another… we want to help each other… that's in our nature… I stay very optimistic when we're talking about something like language…” “…as you were saying… we're still living things… we're still alive… which means it's [pressure] they have to [apply] continuously… and increase the pressure each generation simply because we figure things out and we increase the pressure on them… so we are slowly… not just because of the consumption of the planet but because 'thought' wants to develop itself… little by little… we are figuring this out… we are growing up as a species… and because we can… not just begin speaking ourselves in concrete terms… and modeling this for each other… but now when we start modeling this for each other… and speaking in concrete terms… that's shared globally… so we are catching up to 'power'… and we are getting it that we have to start… not just on an individual or community level… figure out and expose the cons… but expose them to each other globally… and move ahead globally…” (Part 5)

 

“…So… what are some of the cons today… we were talking about how in Plato's day… and Hegel's… that they used language to shift… to change… the popular movements of their day… how do we see that today?… there are numerous examples… I just wanted to bring something up so that people can start to see… if they're not used to seeing how language is used in that manipulative way… So what are some of those examples today… in the media… in the political discourse… do you have some examples of how language is used to co-opt movements?…” “…well… in the July [8,] 2012 show we mentioned the fact that even the word 'future' has been taken from us. If you listen to the airwaves… whenever the discussion of 'future' comes up… guaranteed it's about the latest science and technology… so… that's not even subtle conditioning to tell the vast majority: 'go sit down and shut up and wait for us to deliver the future to you…' because… 'obviously'… that 's a specialized activity – creating the future – because only 'scientists' and 'experts' can bring us our future… because it's about the latest 'science' and 'technology' and we're not able to do that stuff… right? So… that's one example…another… – it's important to look at what concepts are particularly threatening to 'power': 'claiming the future' is one… another is 'claiming the earth'… so when you look at anything to do with that… you're going to see 'power' heavily into a propagandistic effort to control how we think about it… So for instance… because it's pretty clear that there's a hunger for the earth out there… and that young people today… in response to the absence of other options for their energy… are turning more and more to trying to reconnect with the earth… so 'power' has had no choice… given the consumption of the planet and the massive economic and environmental crises that result from the consumption of the planet – because you can't do that twice – has been forced to concede 'oh yes… we need to be more self-sufficient… we need to have good… healthy… locally-grown… organic food… ' – that is… those who are in a privileged position…” So this whole 'local movement' is something 'power' has rushed to claim… and I think you will inevitably see an effort to… every major propaganda effort by 'power' tries to divert progressive energy… the impulse towards loving your brothers and sisters… towards the state… 'power' has always done that… that's what unifies 'power's thinking over the millennia… is: 'take our wanting to be loving to each other and direct it towards supporting the state…' 'if you support the “best state” that's furthering all these great principles that you say you want… 'Justice'? 'The state can handle that!” 'Food for all'? 'The state can handle that!” And gradually we become more and more passive and our energy gets sapped because nothing is required of us… but to support the state in whatever ways we're told the state needs support… and it's very de-energizing… and it makes us lethargic… because as living things we are… limitlessly powerful… each child that comes into the world is a reality check: 'oh! That's what we're supposed to be?'… and depending on how you react… you will either create a major threat to 'power'… or you're going to take your anger out on that powerful being for your loss of power… so… to the degree we wake up and see who is the culprit… who stole our power… why we are lethargic… we're building that critical mass for a future in which we can all live our full human possibilities……” (Part 6)

 

“…I was thinking about a lot of things while you were talking?… one was when you were talking about my son… your grandson… and I enjoy talking about this topic because it's up for me right now… and I see how he's learning the language… and playing with it… He can already make sentences using his intonation… and he's fully talking… The other day we were feeding him soup… and he just wanted the rice… so he was saying all these sentences that didn't make any sense… ending in 'rice'…and it was very directing: 'This is want I want… rice…' so I see him learning the language and using it as a tool… He's very creative with [language…] and I think that we can learn a lot from that energy… As adults [under 'class'…] we can be very fixed… Seeing my baby is a very good reminder of what is possible… what is earth-based communication – language – because children are the closest source of that… and if people are unsure what we mean by 'earth-based'… you can just turn to the littlest person in your life… and start to notice them… start to appreciate them… and listen… Another thing that came up for me when you were talking was… I recently watched this documentary… 'The Nim Project'… it's a documentary about a chimpanzee that they try to raise from a baby… and at one point in the documentary they have him… this chimpanzee… in a room… it looks like a… basically… a prison cell… and that's his 'learning center'… and he has his trainers there with him… and they're doing various 'signing'… communication… language… exercises – and the chimp is bored… the chimp wants to be swinging on those branches… having fun… being… a chimpanzee… and… he knows how to sign – we are amazing creatures… and I'm talking about 'we'… meaning… all the creatures of the earth are amazing creatures… and chimpanzees have a particular gift… they can communicate with us… and this chimpanzee knew how to communicate with sign language – so he kept on signing (and this will sound very familiar to those of us who remember being in school…): 'I have to go to the bathroom…' And he kept on signing that over and over… and so he would go to the bathroom to get out of that freakin' room… because no one wants to be stuck in a room. And to me that was really interesting because… one… you saw the spirit of beings – who wants to do that – but also that he had to take on the language of [those] human beings… of… not being earth-based… because in order to get out of that room he had to 'play the game' [i.e., lie]… he had to say something that wasn't actually true… and so we have to take a look at that as human beings [under 'class']… who we are… and what we have become… in terms of this system… in terms of the conditioning… and even its spilling over into other animals… other species. And we talked about that with elephants… and how [if they were] raised in a circus from a baby… and when they're grown up… they lose their power… they don't know they can break that chain that's around their necks… so this is a disease that is spilling over into all walks of life… and it's our responsibility… this is our burden that we have to deal with… this being disconnected from nature… and language is key in starting to create… describe… conversate… a new world that we want… that is earth-based…” “…And modeling it…I think modeling it is where we start… or… maybe where we start is we have to begin having these conversations first… whichever… [given] where you are at… is possible… modeling is incredibly important… in the July [1,] 2012 show… at one point you said: '…why not just have this movement [grow] organically? Why do you feel that it's important to say “we're done with this system…”? Won't the system change because we're doing what we're doing?' And I replied… but just saying that… 'we're done with this system…' – is incredibly important… claiming the earth… out-loud saying… 'My allegiance is with the earth… The earth is the true source of everything…' The words that we've been conditioned to use… which shift that allegiance to the state… away from the earth itself… is a major part of the problem… if not the problem… since it is by controlling our thoughts that we are controlled… So… yes… we have to begin consciously seeing how the earth has been stolen from us… and… consciously… through language… reclaim it. So when we're saying what future we want… we have to speak concretely… we have to say… 'I want a future in which I can wake up in the morning and say “What do I want to do today?”…' knowing… that everyone in the world can wake up and ask themselves… 'What do I want to do today?'… That is literally our future… Now we have just this minor detail of getting there. But once you know that's what you want… it's incredibly focusing… and clarifying of what strategies work and what strategies don't… because then you're not going to be tricked by [someone] saying… 'But don't we want a world where everybody has a job?' No… that's not the world I want. But a lot of us are not at that point where we're ready to say… 'I am done with “class”…' because… whatever the particular nation-state… it is a 'class'-system… So we have to start acknowledging that the problem is not this or that nation-state… the problem is the 'class'-system… Are we ready to say… 'I am done with the “class”-system…' we have to say those words… We have to say… 'I want to own this body… and that means I don't put it on the auction-block…'” (Part 7)

 

“…But there's so many people out there… coming from different places… a lot of people feel that the system just needs some bandaids – it's a 'fixer-upper' – so this speaks to the importance of having this discussion… because we all have our own thoughts and ideas… and until we come together and talk about them… it's really hard to then move forward from that… You were talking a couple weeks ago about someone that you met on the street who was rubbed the wrong way by the language you were using because she felt like it would polarize people… What do you say to individuals… and I'm speaking specifically about individuals [active in] progressive movements like Occupy Oakland and how they use language… what do you say to those people who want to use language in order to… in order to bring about something different… but they don't want to… blam… put it in your face … they feel like you have to ease people in… to transfer them over to something new… rather than be in their face about it… What is the harm in softening truth? So… instead of saying that 'we need a movement to end wage work'… it's more of a thing where [you say] 'well… that's our goal… but let's not name it specifically…' – because I see that all the time. But I think I'm talking about two different things: one… people who are not yet done with the system… or feel that we just need to make adjustments… [in certain areas like] homelessness… or maybe the food crisis… or sustainability… – [that if we just] handle all of those little things… make slight adjustments… so that one day we wake up and realize oh! we're in a new world! So that's one way of looking at it… the other way to look at it is that we are very focused and specific about what we want… and vocal… using our language… in claiming what it is that we want… What do you think about the language that is being used in these movements… and it's kind of hard because… again… all of these movements are very different – I don't think I see one that is very specific in [the sense of] what you're talking about… which is 'reclaiming our thoughts'… 'ending wage work'… 'saying “no” to selling ourselves'… – that's a very specific movement – and I think what this woman was saying was that: people are going to react to that in different ways… a lot… in her mind… in negative ways… hearing that message put out there… and part of me agrees with her because I feel like the system is one that uses pacification… uses coercion… very effectively… and so… for me… I'm thinking… well… to move beyond this… do we need to use that same conditioning… or similar energy… to move people out of this… if they're used to a certain way of being communicated with? What is the best way to proceed… and communicate… knowing that we have had decades [of conditioning] – those of us alive [right now] – we've had a certain amount of conditioning already put in place? How do we overcome that… and how do we use language to overcome that? And are these movements that we're a part of… are they a part of the problem by using the language that they're using?… because it isn't their own language… it's still that language that has been co-opted by the system. What are your thoughts on that? ” “You asked a lot of questions in there… all of which are really interesting… You asked: What do I think about the language used in the various progressive movements that are out there?… You mentioned that people are reacting in negative ways… often… to authentic language… don't we want to soften… or sugarcoat… some of our language in order not to alienate people? How do we overcome centuries of conditioning? How do we use language in a way that does that? Are progressive movements part of the problem if they're using the master's tongue? So there's a lot in there… in those questions… and if I were to say one thing to begin tackling them… it's that… we have to have a process of regular… purposed… discussion in order to begin developing our common language… because the misunderstandings are going to be vast… because we don't have that language yet… so we have to begin overcoming those misunderstandings in order to get on the same page… It is incredibly important that we all – globally – get on the same page. And that may sound more daunting than it in fact is in practice… because when we stop to think about it… we're all made of the same stuff… we all want the same thing… but we've been conditioned – and there's various different ways in which our minds have been misled from that basic reality: the earth is the source of all of us… One little example: I had a brief conversation with someone and I used the phrase, 'what we all have in common is that we want to own these bodies we walk around in…' and he bristled immediately… and he said… 'I own myself… nobody has bought me…' so he is interpreting what I just said in the master's tongue… which is that: 'you want to be your own man… you don't want to be owned by anybody'… so we're not talking the same language… And by 'you don't want to be owned by anybody' that means 'you have integrity'… 'you have your own set of values and you live by them…' So even that language has been taken over… we can't communicate on even that basic level. But when I said that… for Sebastian De Grazia… the only authentic definition of freedom is “freedom from necessity…” leisure… that's authentic language… that's saying that the only authentic definition of freedom is the ability to feed… shelter… and clothe oneself… then you can say you are free… no one can pull your strings [addendum: if everyone else in the world is likewise free from necessity…] no one can dangle the threat of starvation… or loss of home… and warmth… and food – that's authentic language. So when we begin clarifying what we're saying… then… the 'aha!' comes… as it did with him. When he heard that… then he [agreed]: 'ok in that sense I don't own myself… I have to sell myself…' So there's an enormous amount of misunderstanding that has to be clarified. Now as to whether we soften truth… that's a longer conversation.” (Part 8)

 

“Now in terms of whether we soften truth… that's a longer conversation… whether… strategically – because I've been arguing that numbers is everything… because that's our advantage – so… strategically… I heard you ask… in a sense… don't we want to… in order not to alienate… in order to maximize numbers… use a language that is less 'off-putting'? For instance… in that July 1st [2012] show… that you referenced… when [I recalled that] someone said to me 'well… you might not want to talk about “bosses”… you might want to say “that dominator-class model”'… or something like that… you know: 'if you talk about “bosses” you're going to alienate “bosses.”' And then there's that example I gave at the beginning of the show… when a man said that he was put off by the phrase 'flesh-eater'… so: 'don't we want to use language that doesn't put people off?' So those are two examples at different ends of the [political] spectrum… because… I would tend to agree that 'flesh-eaters' loses people for no good purpose. On the other hand… if we alienate 'bosses' that might be a good purpose… so… because the vast majority of us want to be free of bosses… So we have to get our principles out there on the table… get clear on our vision… get clear we're done with 'the system'… and start to prioritize in terms of principles… like: 'love for our Brothers and Sisters is primary' – and there's no contradiction there with 'maximizing numbers' – so… let's start talking about it…” (Part 9)

 

“…so… let's start talking about it…” “…OK… I would like to do that… I think… that by this radio show that's what we are beginning to do. I would love to see this radio show broaden into a larger discussion with people in the community… because I know that you've been doing a lot of thinking about this… I've been doing a lot of thinking about this… and I know that everyone out there – the people that I run into and talk to – have similar feelings of being discontent… feeling frustrated… different emotions that come up within this system… So what you're saying is true… that… once we come together and start talking to each other… we then tap into the earth… what we naturally feel… and are connected to… once we start talking about that and sharing that individual experience… through that language… collectively… will be our future… our answer… and I think that collectively we create new language… through that rich discussion.” “And I think that there are certain key… just to start… just to show that this is going to be easier than we may think…that there are certain key catch-phrases that capture the essence of our collective problem… dilemma… as well as point us towards the solution… towards our future freedom… And I have such a brief moment with people when I have these interactions on the street I try to use such catch-phrases… For instance: 'we need a mass movement to end wage work…' immediately gets you thinking… or 'we want to own these bodies we walk around in…'” “Yes… using authentic language in order to stimulate deeper thought is really important… Again… I wonder what effect that has on people… and if people aren't really ready to hear that… that may… at first… be a negative thing. But I even think that in that instance… that's a seed that is planted…” “I think that's what I'm trying to get at here… that these are not just seeds… although they are seeds that are planted… But what I'm asking… or urging… us to all begin doing… those of us who feel… that it's daunting… ending a 'class'-system… [is to begin noticing language] that exposes the lie of the system… or that validates… legitimates… discussions of how we can have a world that's premised on non-coercion and reverence… We move towards our future when we start naming it… So… to say: 'we need a future in which no one has to sell their human energy'… or: 'it's time for us to move beyond a 'class'-system… On the cover of this small series of books I have the words 'we are living the transition that ends the “class”-system'… One man who looked at the cover said, 'Oh yes, I believe that…' but he believed it was a very long… intermediary transition… and I don't… I literally believe that as we start putting these words in our mouths… we begin making it the truth… and… logically… if these were not dangerous phrases… we would be hearing them over the airwaves… These are disallowed thoughts. Here are a couple I used in Beginning Again: 'those who dissent are targeted…' and 'all achievement is used as defense of the system…' – that's a big one… we have to start talking about it… And… what I write is that to begin again we have to start manifesting 'having each other's back'… this means… among other things… acknowledging actively… i.e. out-loud saying… the above two facts… 'Out-loud saying' is important because our brothers and sisters are not hearing these thoughts… [Addendum: My son is right… I think… to point out how effectively 'the system' uses coercion to suppress authentic thinking and isolate those who defy that suppression… i.e. its essential that we develop mutual support for each other… Tolstoi knew whereof he spoke when he wrote: 'Enough individuals, as well as nations, can be interested in civilization but not in true enlightenment. The former is easy and meets with approval; the latter requires rigorous efforts and therefore, from the great majority, always meets with nothing but contempt and hatred, for it exposes the lie of civilization…'] that alone is really important…” (Part 10)

 

“And 'all achievement is used as defense of the system…' is a big propaganda-technique… a major strategy that was given to 'power' by Plato – these are millennia-long cons that now… because of the Internet… because of these amazing tools… we can begin exposing and sharing with each other… but we have to say them out-loud… which is why these conversations are not allowed over major airwaves…” “…I really enjoyed this conversation [on language…] today because… before… I didn't really question 'language' in the same way… so this has helped me get to a clearer understanding of… how it's used… and how we can move forward using more authentic language… The other thing I appreciated… is that you say to just speak it… speak the truth… say it… You've said [before] that that was your beef with movements [like the] sustainability movement… that they're not including the entire globe in that… and the importance of doing that… and using language to get that across. To say: 'I am with you Brothers and Sisters of the world…' is really key. I remember in the revolution in Egypt… that after the Occupy Movement happened… people in Egypt saying, 'I see you… Americans that are standing up… we are with you…' that… to me… was a very powerful thing…” “Thank you for acknowledging… the importance of our standing with each other globally… it is very important for us to hear that from our Brothers and Sisters across the globe as we're doing our things to end 'class'… to stand with them and vice versa…” (Part 11)

The Raven: “Then [Kropotkin] says… well, that could be your response… or: “… Or, on the other hand, the dreams of your youth will become the firm convictions of your mature age. You will wish to have wide, human education for all, in school and out of school. And seeing that this is impossible in existing conditions, you will attack the very foundations of bourgeois society. Then discharged as you will be by the board of education, you will leave your school and come among us and be of us…” So… this is ‘authentic talk’… He’s saying that there is no way to ‘fix this’… there simply isn’t. And so he concludes his essay ‘An Appeal to the Young’ by saying: “You stop me at last! ‘What the devil!’ you say. ‘But if abstract science is a luxury and practice of medicine mere chicane; if law spells injustice, and mechanical invention is but a means of robbery; if the school, at variance with the wisdom of the ‘practical man,’ is sure to be overcome, and art without the revolutionary idea can only degenerate, what remains for me to do?’ A vast and most enthralling task, a work in which your action will be in complete harmony with your conscience, an undertaking capable of rousing the noblest and most vigorous natures. What work? I will now tell you. Two courses are open to you. You can either tamper for ever with your conscience and finish one day by saying ‘Humanity can go to the devil as long as I am enjoying every pleasure to the full and so long as the people are foolish enough to let me do so.’ Or else you will join the ranks of the socialists and work with them for the complete transformation of society. Such is the necessary result of the analysis we have made. Such is the logical conclusion at which every intelligent being must arrive provided he judge impartially the things he sees around him, and disregard the sophisms suggested to him by his middle-class education and the interested views of his friends. Having once reached this conclusion, the question which arises is ‘what is to be done?’ The answer is easy. Quit the environment in which you are placed and in which it is customary to speak of the workers as a lot of brutes; go among the people, and the question will solve itself.” So… he wrote these words one hundred and thirty years ago… I’m saying something very similar. What is ‘progress’? I agree with Nikola Tesla… and I agree with Kropotkin… that ‘progress’ happens as we start implementing that advice… of Petr Kropotkin’s… on a world-scale: we go among each other. And… in fact… what Kropotkin also says is that… we must come to a common understanding with our fellows… and form societies… and know that this has to happen across nation… So what we need to know has already been figured out… the question is how do we do it… and in the discussion that we hear from ‘the pundits’… that’s never addressed… See… those who honestly wanted our freedom as human beings… our generalized human freedom… are practical beings. They didn’t shirk their responsibility to address the actual human conditions that we’re living in… and so they came to the logical conclusion (as Kropotkin said…) that you can’t do this in the existing institutions… you can’t… and so what do you do? And [so the question becomes…] do you want your beliefs and your behavior to coincide? [Spoken word is from our September 30, 2012 radio broadcast. This is Part 5.]

 

To base ‘theory’ on what our bodies tell us means to acknowledge and honor our actual experience… which means to ‘see’ material reality accurately… and that to distort our ‘seeing’ so as to deny the validity of our original judgment… of our senses… and of what we know in our bodies to be so… is the point of ‘education’… Kropotkin says as much – in the wordbeat we posted with this show – about ‘education’… in saying that… in our hands… it will have to be re-thought… to include our experience… – which makes him dangerous to ‘power’. And our Good Three are likewise coming to this conclusion reached (by Kropotkin) a century previously at least… which makes Antisystemic Movements unique… in contemporary social critique… in inviting a ‘new story’ – and therefore dangerous to ‘power’. And this is what’s different about what is said here: we are inviting a new story – and drawing on the ancestors who are inviting a new story.

 

As of this writing (February 21, 2015) the new page I created (“Embracing Global Goals” – Part 2) is displaying the same ‘html code’ problems we encountered in preparation for the January 25th, 2015 show… So… we soldier on…

 

“The remainder of my schooldays were no more auspicious than the first. Indeed, they were an endless Project that slowly evolved into a Unit, in which miles of construction paper and wax crayon were expended by the State of Alabama in its well-meaning but fruitless efforts to teach me Group Dynamics… but as I inched sluggishly along the treadmill of the Maycomb County school system, I could not help receiving the impression that I was being cheated out of something. Out of what I knew not, yet I did not believe that twelve years of unrelieved boredom was exactly what the state had in mind for me…” (Harper Lee, To Kill A Mockingbird, 1960)” Now that’s a great illustration of the contrast between the clarity with which children see… and the challenged vision of adults under ‘class’… due to manufactured ‘scarcity’ and the stories we’re led to believe. So while 10,000 years of subjection produces a profound paralysis of action in us… each child starts out fresh… with backs that must be made to bend…

 

We are considering today the broad impact of the fact that… as Jomo Kenyatta will tell us… there is no ‘freedom of thought’ under the global system of ‘power’… that the story of ‘Rule’ – into which is merged its multiple versions: “Thought Realizing Itself”… “Development of the Productive Forces”… “The Civilizing Mission of Europeans” [or ‘the creatives’…] “The Triumph of the Republic: Realizing Plato’s Vision”… “The Pursuit of Knowledge-Infinite” – that the ‘heroism’ implied in such… is a mirage… a faux-heroic attempt… to not-see an Abyss staring at it… which is best known by the name, Abandonment. If… as is undeniably true… one story… and one story only… has become dominant: the story of ‘Rule’… who has the ‘power’ to make it ‘systematic’… to embed it in all institutions?: only the tiny… tiny… tiny… miniscule Few. “…After king Kikuyu was dethroned, the government of the country was at once changed from a despotism to a democracy which was in keeping with the wishes of the majority of the people.…” Jomo Kenyatta is illustrating for us here… how we can change the story at any time… if we come together… and determine… to do so…

 

“In order to… prevent any tendency to return to the system of despotic government, the change of, and the election for, the government offices should be based on a rotation system of generations…. It was… decided that one generation should hold the office of government for a period of thirty to forty years, at the end of which the ceremony… [took] place to declare that the old generation had completed its term of governing, and that the young generation was ready to take over the administration of the country….” For those of you who have been listening for some time to these shows… it may have occurred to you just then… that this is exactly the opposite ‘system’ – approach to governance – from that prescribed… propagated… proposed… provided… by Plato’s Tribesmen… who propagandize that ‘the Republic’ – the ‘ideal state’ – requires that young people absolutely be denied access to the reins of anything until they are sufficiently elderly to be inducted into ‘the system’ (which never changes…) To prevent change was precisely the point of the system of permanent ‘class’-rule devised in the Republic. And Plato’s Tribesmen have been on this ‘mission’ for the last two and a half centuries.

 

“The tribal democratic institutions which were the boast of the country, and the proof of tribal good sense, have been suppressed. Oppressive laws and ordinances, which alone engross the monopoly of thought, of will, and of judgment, have been imposed on the African people… The land not only unites the living members of the tribe but also the dead ancestors and the unborn posterity. This fact is obvious, because it is in the ancestral lands that the ancestors lie buried, in the land which they once occupied. In this way the dead are able to keep direct communication with the living, and the sanctions which control behavior in both the collective life of the tribe and private lives of its individual members are the approval or disapproval of the ancestral spirits. Through incarnation the future generation is linked up with the past, thus bringing spiritually the three groups, i.e., dead, living, and unborn, into one organic whole. The annexation of the ancestral lands by the Europeans has robbed the African of the use of the productive asset on which his entire economic life depended.”

 

Practical solutions… guidance – guidance that reflects the actual circumstances of our lives – is precisely what we’ve been denied… and this is what makes our Good Three’s contribution so important… and no less so Kropotkin’s… whose words… built on here suggests this: that ‘power’ uses ‘education’ (under ‘class’) to provide the ‘objective evidence’ of ‘natural inequality’… and ‘science’ (including Marxist theory…) as the legitimating ideology (full-spectrum propaganda-coverage…) ‘Vetting’ is made automatic by the “‘class’ education project”… and that the ‘education process’ alone ensures that only the thought-parameters established by ‘power’ are allowed to see the light of day… the airwaves…

 

Nonetheless… a year on… we are still being referred to as “the world labor-force”… and our formation in unity as “the socialization of production…” Are we at the point yet… when we can clearly see… that this language is the problem precisely?… that language ‘controls’ the way we think?… and that… when not self-made… by we-commoners – “by… of… and for… ‘the people’…” – language becomes… mind-chains produced by the ‘podrunks’… to keep us… from waking up…

 

…so… where does this leave us?… “in urgent need of reconstructing the strategy, perhaps the ideology, perhaps the organizational structure of the family of world antisystemic movements […I would even question that language… “family of world antisystemic movements …” because they got a single… unifying… ideology that unites these ten thousand people globally… called ‘rule’. I believe we need a single… unifying… ideology… called ‘freedom’… – P.S.]; if we are to cope effectively with the real dilemmas before which we are placed, as the ‘stateness’ of states and the ‘capitalist’ nature of capitalism grow at an incredible pace…” …and… I don’t know about you… but… I think we are… right now… doing that…

 

“And officially classified debtor states are required, on pain of losing their creditability as states (and hence of losing, in today’s world, their very “stateness”), to reduce the cost of their exports by reducing the costs to capital, direct and indirect, of labor within their borders. Popular demonstrations against such officially constructed austerity plans are reported almost daily. This world-level, organized pressure to depress the living conditions of the world’s more and less proletarianized workers is hard to construe as other than a strategic escalation (by capital) of class struggle.…”

 

D-Way: “We’re talking today about “responsibility to resist ‘power’”… Very interesting quote by Kropotkin… and I agree the solution is very simple… yet it is… arguably what people are most afraid of: to see each other… to talk to each other… ‘Power’ has done an excellent job of conditioning us… of keeping us atomized in boxes… and that conditioning is very powerful… When you’re hearing these discussions… and you’re hearing: ‘if you do the analysis… we come to the conclusion that ‘the system’ isn’t just these military-… or educational-… or political-… system… or ‘system-of-class-structures’… that the system is inside of us. And when people start to sit with that… and talk about it… it’s not to feel like that that is an attack on an individual being… saying that ‘the problem is you… and you need to fix you’… in fact… we… ” The Raven: “And I actually believe that those who have access to the airwaves… the ‘punditry’… have a really big responsibility to talk in authentic ways because that’s what turns us on… that’s what excites us…” D-Way: “So… why?… obviously those in the media who have a megaphone to numerous people… and who you would think would be grappling with the morality of the times right now – if you do the analysis you have a responsibility – so… why is that authentic conversation… truthful… earth-based… discussions… why are they not happening more on the airwaves?… it seems like times are getting harder – The Raven… you say that the people [you speak with] on the street… more and more… are saying, ‘yeah, we’re in a totalitarian state right now… this is a reality…’ So… why… when you turn on KPFA… even on the progressive media… why are you not hearing an earth-based discussion? I mean… I understand the pressures of trying to keep that conversation under wraps… But… more and more I feel like that would be a hard task to try and control that conversation. And people on the Left… on KPFA and all those worlds… is it just that they’re being tugged by ‘power’?… that they have bosses and can’t say certain things because that would shut down their radio show… or whatever it is that they’re putting out there?… I don’t quite understand why the analysis that I hear on the radio isn’t… ‘streety’… isn’t earth-based… isn’t something that really, truly reflects what is going on? For One… OK… so why aren’t we hearing it on the radio… on the airwaves… and Two… if we’re not… then… let’s do it ourselves… and I think that’s where we’re coming in with what we’re trying to do… is to create the conversation for ourselves… because… if we are the most interesting people… then why are we giving our power… our thought… over to these ‘medias of distraction of thought’?” [Spoken word is from our September 30, 2012 radio broadcast.

The following mp3 files are from our February 8, 2015 show… following which – after uploading edits and audio for the opening of the show the following morning… later that day – no edits would subsequently 'save'… i.e. I was no longer able to edit the page (“Embracing Global Goals, Scope and Action: Becoming Global Actors… Claiming the ‘All’”). “Embracing Global Goals” is being suppressed precisely because it's right on target… So let's do it!… Let’s go… Let’s claim global goals! And please tune in to our February 15, 2015 show.

 

Our February 15, 2015 show audio-files and text are posted at: “The February 15, 2015 Show , which includes excerpts from John Boswell’s The Kindness of Strangers: The Abandonment of Children in Western Europe from Late Antiquity to the Renaissance… while I determine how best to maintain the momentum of our discussions. It includes the following urging as relates to ‘strategy’, which I hope you will consider deeply:

 

…and therein lay the success of hidden ‘power’… they operate clandestine… and ‘the media’ is designed to refuse the claims of its victims… and so ‘power’ can stay hidden… “Sweet…” I’m sure they think… a ruse they can use… ad infinitum… Except… despite the historical success of its central strategy… ‘power’ today is wading into uncharted waters… hence the danger of this moment… because surrendering their grandiose fantasies… is not in the mental-makeup… of global-state-statesmen… On ‘the news’ this week I heard that the head of the US Navy is ‘requesting’ use of ‘rail guns’ [if I got that name right…] on their vessels: weapons that use electromagnetic force… it’s not difficult to see… that the ‘same-family-weapons’ that they’ve designed to use against us… when applied clandestine… ends our ability to dissent… Given this ‘historical reality’… I’m putting this question out there: are there means for detecting and documenting the presence of these waves… or pulses… designed to cause harm… to interfere with biological electrical systems… and how can we get this detection means in the hands of folks being targeted? And then… as to the way in – because we need this ‘way in’… to re-claiming our thought process… into a mindset for getting free… of thinking… and taking action… globally – consider this: the Longshoremen have been our staunchest allies globally… over the course of recent ‘class’-history… Let’s plan and organize and call… a one-day Global General Strike in support of them… the Longshoremen… striking all up and down the West Coast US… Global-action is how ‘power’ breaks us… global-action is necessarily the means for our getting free… because the alternative… is the end of dissent… and we must not allow… that descent.

 

As always… thank you for your patience… Pamela

Sisters and Brothers: The word-beats below are from the conversation that D-Way and I had during our September 30, 2012 Waking Up Radio show. They are part of a multi-part (probably 10- part) series on ‘Moving Forward’:

 

D-Way: “Then what is my responsibility to my Brothers and Sisters?… and how do my actions [get] in line with the analysis that I have done [confirming that class is totalitarian…] and also: you've talked with people on the street… and you're also seeing a lot of different perspectives… some people feel that they can only manage to do what they have control over… e.g. to be the best person… to effect change within their interactions in the physical world… and is that enough?… [in order] to not be overwhelmed by the overwhelming responsibility [of dealing with] this whole global system that has oppressed [all of us…] their far-reaches of control has suppressed the whole globe… – that is really overwhelming… So… how do we move forward?… those of us who are consciously trying to create a new world – where that system [of class] no longer exists… How do you do that… and still stay sane or feel powerful or feel strong?” The Raven: “I've been thinking about this question too… in the sense of: as you said D-Way… a lot of people both are done with a system of rigid… fixed… class divisions… and… feel powerless to change it… And so this is why I write… this is why I engage in conversations about this… because I don't see anything more important for us to focus on as a species right now. So I ponder what it means for our behavior and our beliefs to be so out of sync… what this means for our souls… what this means for how we are not addressing the problems that are critical for the species in order to heal the planet and ourselves… For instance… most people I talk to both agree that we are in totalitarianism… and yet admit that they don't really do anything about that. And that to me is horrifying. That to me is how Hitler came to 'power'.” [Spoken word is from our September 30, 2012 radio broadcast.]

D-Way: “I’m wondering why… for people out there who you interact with… and they say they feel like they’re ‘powerless’ to do anything to combat the creeping totalitarianism state… that totalitarianism is here… people agree… but feel like they can’t do anything about it… so… why do you feel like we can do something about it?… like… what do you say to people who say that to you?… you know?… because it is overwhelming when you think about the level of control and dominance that this system has put over the globe… So why are you hopeful that we can effect that change?” The Raven: “Well I think one way to answer that question is to respond to what we were just listening to prior to this show… When we got within a couple blocks of the station we started hearing the voice of Helen Caldicott… and she was interviewing Colonel Ann Wright… and Ann Wright was bemoaning the fact that can’t get people to mobilize around… anything… that there is a scary passivity on the part of us… and a scary hearing loss on the part of both [political] parties… and so they were in effect acknowledging that we don’t have an existing democracy… and that the problem was out there somewhere… ‘the problem is Barack’… ‘the problem is apathy’… the problem is everywhere but that man or woman in the mirror… For instance… [in her identification with the state… and lack of recognition that change comes from below…] being eternally ‘surprised’ that ‘power’ acts like ‘power’… and then they’re always ‘surprised’ that people have no time to engage in political activism… and they… almost as an aside… they said, “Well… people want to keep their job…” as if that’s an aside… and irrelevant… to how we solve this problem… As long as they can control whether we eat or not… as long as we are not questioning the deep underpinnings of a ‘class’-system… how in the world can we pull ourselves out of a sense of apathy?” D-Way: “I wanted to… back it up a little bit to the personal responsibility and how you said that people see… in the media… problems like violence or sexual assault… but we rarely want to internalize it… see how we perpetuate the system… but I just wanted to go back and say: it’s hard for people to hear… that they are the problem… Are you suggesting that people should think of themselves as a problem?” [Spoken word is from our September 30, 2012 radio broadcast.]

 

–––

 

D-Way: “Because… I saw as a bit of a dichotomy your saying that in one case we internalize ‘the system’… but at the same time when [Ann Wright] is saying: “well… we did this…” then… I hear you distancing yourself from that… saying that “we didn’t… we’re not a part of that…” So… we’re not doing these horrific acts around the globe… but in our language isn’t it important to make a distinction between this system of oppression and ‘us’?… or do we need to claim those horrific acts that are happening around the globe?” The Raven: “Well… the distinction for me is that… it gets back to: ‘What’s the objective?’… ‘What’s the goal?’… and when pundits talk about… with… perhaps… a sense of shame… what ‘we’… meaning ‘the U.S. state’… is doing… what they’re saying… implicitly… is that: ‘I want to be proud of my state… we must fix this… we must put in office those people who will implement in an honorable way the intentions of the people of this [nation-]state… the citizenry… and what I’m arguing… is that this is ideology in the guise of something noble… that… in fact… part of our apathy… our dispiritedness… around engaging in authentic activism is that no one speaks honestly… When I talk to people on the street… there’s so much more just down-to-earth honorable honesty than I ever hear… ever hear… over the airwaves… So when I hear an Ann Wright bemoan the lack of integrity of the U.S. state… as if a state can be anything but what it was established to be… that is contributing to massive confusion out there… So I say that the responsibility of pundits (but… of course… they wouldn’t be pundits if they did this…) is to begin using an authentic… earth-based language…” D-Way: “Well I wasn’t talking about ‘the responsibility of the pundits’… I’m talking about the responsibility of individuals and the language we use in describing the relationship we have with this ‘power’ that controls us. What I’m asking… what is the language that we use to describe that?… because if ‘the system’ isn’t us… how come we shouldn’t say… ‘this is what we’re doing…’ in order to claim it… in order to take responsibility for those atrocious acts that are happening… and then speak out and push to change those actions?” [Spoken word is from our September 30, 2012 radio broadcast.]

D-Way: “That’s where I’m confused with where you’re coming from, Raven… is… when you take responsibility for your Brothers and Sisters what’s the language that you use to describe the relationship that you have with this system?” The Raven: “Well I believe that we… all of us… manifest ‘the system’… I believe it’s important to say ‘the U.S. state’ and not ‘we’ because I think using the word ‘we’ leads to confusion and we absolutely have to start getting clear… developing clarity of thought… When we say ‘we’ meaning ‘the U.S. state’ it could be interpreted in many ways… it could imply a patriotic position… it could imply confusion… it could imply a sense of responsibility that ‘the state’ is in us… as you were suggesting… although… for the most part… when I hear it used that way on the Left… it is used to say: ‘we have to make this state better…’ – it’s the ‘fix-it’ ‘solution’… and I’m arguing that that’s a dead-end… that it isn’t a real solution… that you cannot ‘fix’ a state established to keep us contained and corralled… it’s not designed to [do what the people want…] So… in order to speak clearly… when we mean ‘the actions of the U.S. government’ we should say ‘the actions of the U.S. government’… and when we’re talking about how ‘the state’ gets reproduced on multiple levels… in multiple institutions… that’s a different level of analysis… and then we can start talking about… because I believe we have to start explaining… as we do our analysis… the world we’re living in… it never gets discussed in an open… authentic… way… over the airwaves… and so we have to start doing that for each other… so we have to start explaining how there is a single operating premise in a class system called ‘supremacy’… yes… it is manifested in the military… but it is also manifested in us… in how we relate to our children… and… when we talk about ‘the responsibility of pundits’… and who gets over the airwaves… and who doesn’t… I want to always give thanks for the ancestors… and to remind everybody listening… that there are no new thoughts about how to deal with this ‘class’-system… and it is evidence of the degree of our containment… and the level of totalitarian control of our thoughts… that we are still repeating the same conversations… in fact… at a much much lower level of analysis than our ancestors had figured out hundreds of years ago… For instance… in a book I picked up recently by Petr Kropotkin – it’s a collection of his pamphlets… A hundred and thirty years ago he wrote a pamphlet called ‘An Appeal to the Young’… addressing this issue, D-Way, of ‘well what is our responsibility? – he’s saying to young people: ‘you have a responsibility…’ and then he speaks to young people who want to become doctors… scientists… lawyers… engineers… teachers… and he concludes with artists… And in the one on ‘teachers’ he says (and I thought about this because you work with children, D-Way…) he says… Kropotkin: “And what shall I say to the schoolmaster – not to the man who looks upon his profession as a wearisome business, but to him who, when surrounded by a joyous band of youngsters, feels exhilarated by their cheery looks and in the midst of their happy laughter; to him who tries to plant in their little heads those ideas of humanity which he cherished himself when he was young. Often I see that you are sad, and I know what it is that makes you knit your brows. This very day, your favorite pupil, who is not very well up in Latin, it is true, but who has none the less an excellent heart, recited the story of William Tell with so much vigor! – [“Tell, William, a legendary hero of the liberation of Switzerland from Austrian oppression. He was required to hit with an arrow an apple placed on the head of his son, which he did successfully. The events are placed in the 14th century, but there is no evidence for a historical person of this name, and similar legends are of widespread occurrence.”] – His eyes sparkled; he seemed to wish to stab all tyrants there and then; he gave with such fire the passionate lines of Schiller: ‘Before the slave when he breaks his chain, Before the free man tremble not.’ But when he returned home, his mother, his father, his uncle, sharply rebuked him for want of respect to the minister or the rural policeman. They held forth to him by the hour on ‘prudence, respect for authority, submission to his betters,’ till he put Schiller aside in order to read Self-Help. And then only yesterday you were told that your best pupils have all turned out badly. One does nothing but dream of becoming an officer; another in league with his master robs the workers of their slender wages; and you, who had such hopes of these young people, you now brood over the sad contrast between your ideal and life as it is. You still brood over it. Then I foresee that in two years at the outside, after having suffered disappointment after disappointment, you will lay your favorite authors on the shelf, and you will end by saying that Tell was no doubt a very honest fellow, but after all a trifle cracked; that poetry is a first-rate thing for the fireside, especially when a man has been teaching the rule-of-three all day long, but still poets are always in the clouds and their views have nothing to do with the life of today, nor with the next visit of the inspector of schools…. Or, on the other hand…” [Spoken word is from our September 30, 2012 radio broadcast.]

“Immanuel Wallerstein: “What is meant by hegemony in a world-economy is the ability of one state to impose a set of rules on the operation of all other states, such that there is relative order in the world-system.…” Recall: he along with Terence K. Hopkins and Giovanni Arrighi… the three of them together… wrote Antisystemic Movements… when he and his co-authors wrote: “Opposition to oppression is coterminous with the existence of hierarchical social systems. Opposition is permanent, but for the most part latent…” And while it’s certainly true that ‘power’ has ever… since ‘class’s onset… been strenuously endeavoring to shape us… make us… be what it ‘needs’… to accomplish its (variously defined over the ages… but all a specie of the same arrogance…) its ‘greatness’… while certainly this is so… there is a missing factor which only we-the-people can add: our earth-given-knowledge of freedom… which never leaves us. “Opposition will be continuous…” …now that’s straightforward and clear… It’s clearly true… we need no ‘proof’… we know it in our bodies… And yet… …treatises will flow… …there will be oceans of deserts of theories… …there will be endless dissertations on them… And so… clarity was let go… …because the incentives… …were so ‘generous’… Surely… he must know… …that there’s absolutely nothing natural in that ‘order’ he seems to approve… …and that ‘order’ is a pleasant word for ‘force’… …that coercion’s both a fine web… …and a tank that mows us down… This is earth-speak: …we will resist… …we continue to resist… …we will resist some more… So… wither-dry-husk-blown-to-the-wind your phony ‘scientific theories’… …your social algorithms… Get you hence you calculating-cons… …get you gone. How dare you reduce the intricate web of our thought process… …the sighing of our infinite hearts… …to postulates and raw data… …to be polished smooth… How dare you take the mystery and magic of the subtle interweavings of our myriad experiences in multiple translations… …both in fluid memory and real-time… The world of ‘logic-systems’ is an invented world… …elaborate and well-organized… …there’s much to master… …much to digest… …much to offer in placation… …that abyss where was your soul.” [Spoken word is from our December 21, 2014 radio broadcast.]

So when the young college-educated… urged to devise new ‘apps’… or financial ‘instruments’… or run all the ‘systems’… or launch some new ‘start-up’… to serve the global-state-statesmen… are told they are ‘creatives’… they are… if they buy it… eating up the latest version of the Conquering Race story… and holding hostage our free future… …because if they… the so-called ‘creatives’… who operate the networks – the grid that hosts our interconnections – were to decide… finally… that they are not ‘special’… not cut from some cloth of a more refined ‘order’… and make common cause with all of us-targeted… then it would be ‘game-over’ for ‘power’ and its ‘system’… and authentic existence… could begin again… ‘Education’ is quite literally the means for fostering the divisions that perpetuate ‘the system’.

(Request for suggestions for how to break out of this 'communications-isolation-unit' I feel like I have been put in… When I called I-Power [the Nascence site web host] to try to figure out why my web page html text / code for the January 25 show was seemingly being suppressed or overwritten… but in any case didn't show… I got a woman who was curious why I wasn't checking my stats… I replied that my files on the site were regularly being altered… so it didn't make a lot of sense to credit what the 'stats' said… She told me that my 'normal' daily 'average' number of folks visiting the website of '80' was ten times higher on January 18. I answered that that was extremely implausible and asked her to send me an email to that effect… She never did… – P.S.)

…the way I see it is that in order for us to get our freedom… we have to have a new language [and I believe our Good Three agree… as we'll see in our reading shortly…] And so when I read excerpts from things… it's like… chunks of new language… new terminology… new stories… to fold into our thought-process. We have to have new thoughts to think… …but I will say this about Harper Lee: the news that she is publishing a new book was met (over the airwaves) with such lack of enthusiasm that it was striking… when you have folks announce the release of something new by Harper Lee and talk as if this is something that should not happen… it raises lots of red flags… and when something like this happens… we really have to make an extra effort… to flip it… and say "this is something we must read…" Harper Lee?… a new novel?… what a gift…

…and right now… because we are in transition… because humans globally are turning from ‘Rule’… and are looking to the earth once again for guidance… ‘power’ is on the defensive… a wounded tiger… which means… that the next presidential election will be… ‘simply’… the most ‘kick-stomping-dirty-tricks-to-the-death vicious… that any now walking have unfortunately seen… but far from this being a moment for watching… for sitting back in shock at this hideous ‘show’… rather… this is a moment… to go for the gold…

…there is intense infiltration… and what does that mean?… to know that nothing is real… is true… is authentic… I'm talking about the public world… in which they maintain exclusive hold on our thoughts… on what we are allowed to hear and think… What does it mean that it's almost guaranteed that media of any significant reach is infiltrated? I do want to emphasize that we need to think about this… think about this question of the insidiousness of omnipresent… widespread… infiltration by folks who are paid to help perpetuate illusions about the world we live in.

…‘power’s obsessive need to both create and vet the stories we get from media of any reach can be illustrated with a story that seems to work against it… that ‘item’ we began with… the ‘inequality’-report by Oxfam – their response its release may help show what I mean… as well as ‘power’s sense of ‘economy’ and ‘layering’ strategy (both sources of pride as evidence… they imagine… of their superiority of ‘mind’ and therefore ‘fitness’… for ‘ruling’ over us… because while the notion of the ‘one percent’ is a key bit of ‘power’-propaganda… (for instance the latest speech by Chris Hedges urging folks to blame… not the global-state-statesmen… but rather one of the traditional buffers of ‘power’… along with the police: national ‘elites’… i.e. those with padded incomes… but who could never be aspirants to deification… as they have no global ‘reach’…)

The lost child is the source of our troubles…. [And… thanks to John Boswell's The Kindness of Strangers: Child Abandonment in Europe from Late Antiquity Through the Renaissance… we understand now how this happened… That is an important book. If you get a chance… I hope you'll read it… or bits of it… and that you'll try to feel it… if you know what I mean… feel the full implications of that – thousands of years of child abandonment – and how that gets embedded in what people think is part of being 'human'… but isn't… It's like Kropotkin telling us that in ancient texts gorillas were described as 'gregarious'… breaks your heart to think about that… how much damage has been inflicted… on life – we are not yet what we're meant to be… but we will recover all that was stolen from us by this sick system of rigid hierarchical rule.] It’s time for us to heal the hurt, complete the circuit – return home. We have nothing now but our imaginations and our biological memory, but that’s enough for the task at hand, which is reunion.

“The principle directional tendency of capital is its centralization on a world scale… This determining direction of capital on a world scale… entails for antisystemic forcs at least three broad consequential subordinate directional tendencies. First… the ongoing relocation of labor-using manufacturing processes to the semiperiphery and hence the shift there of the epicenter of “classically” framed and conducted class conflict… Second is the de-nationalization, in effect, of domestic (“national”) labor forces. The world’s workers, increasingly made into laborers under the aegis of capital, move as they always have in order to be in relation to capital, a movement sharply furthered in speed and extent by developments in communications and transportation… Ship, air, and electronics have for decades now been analogously forming the possibility of an organized world proletariat within “national” locales. The possibility is at once eliminated, however, so long as we think with the state-formed consciousness that there are “nationals” and there are “immigrants,” and in that way reproduce the varieties of racism these historically formed categories inevitably entail. “National” and “immigrant” are categories of the capitalist world-economy’s interstate system; they have no place (except as phenomenologically [i.e. to do with objects in our consciousness and experience…] phenomenologically real conditions to be overcome) in the language of world-scale workers’ movements.”

“National liberation in segments of the capitalist world-economy, and the transformations it has effected in relations of rule and other social relations, have altered the social structuring of the world-historical accumulation process. That much is historically evident and therefore theoretically to be taken into account. [Don't you love that?… that analytical clarity?… I mean… who else… who says they're devising theory even bothers to ensure that it's based in reality these days?… or 'strategy' likewise… or particularly… – P.S.] But it has not eliminated the relational conditions through which the accumulation process operates. And precisely that world-historical elimination, of the relational conditions through which accumulation of capital occurs, is what is entailed in the idea of the class struggle as the pivotal process in the transformation of the capitalist world-economy into a socialist world order. [What happened to that as our goal… hum?… We seem to have lost track of that somewhere along the way… – P.S.] …If, however, we cease to accord strategic primacy to acquiring such state power within the interstate system, far more becomes historically possible and thereby, within the domain of historically realistic alternatives, theoretically possible. It would seem a dubious theoretical tenet to assert that national liberation, in its successive occurrences, is in any way a necessary condition of the revolutionary transformation of the world-economy. It is surely indefensible to claim it as a sufficient condition.”

...on the challenge of beginning to create the alternative:

 

“The imagination has to be stimulated – that imaginative part of ourselves that manifests our dreams, through that fire, that passion, that is our art. Asking questions stimulates that process of figuring out, visualizing, and manifesting what we want. But we need each other's help in order to do that – to manifest our power – and we've been cut off from helping each other.”
