Nascence to End Work

Valuing ourselves and valuing the earth is the same thing. Once we refuse to sacrifice ourselves, we'll no longer tolerate the sacrifice of our earth… in the name of abstractions that never were .... I hope in this song you'll recognize yourself: Never Was A Child…

 

We hope you'll visit our “Support The Nascence” page for how to support us by requesting copies of our books or conversations..

…So… ‘leadership’ is in all of us… and as the Piper’s price (his blood-lust of consumption of the planet’s resources…) has now fallen due… is weighing on us… ‘power’ has three choices… and:

 

Let’s not let another generation have to deal with this mess… Please!… we need on-going efforts that aren’t exclusive… ‘power’ is deadly committed to its ‘future-vision’… we have to start talking about how to challenge it… meet it with an alternative vision that is not elitist… but rather is ‘power’s opposite.… and:

 

We learned from Sebastian de Grazia that ‘power’ has known for decades that ‘wage work’ is an antiquated system… and that it doesn’t need us on leash anymore. It’s long past time for us to figure out how to have our time back – that’s the only way to be happy…. So we have this right… here in the U.S…. to plan freedom… and it’s just so completely reasonable to say “let’s have a test site… and:

 

Consider… for example… this from David Blume… who argues that de-centralized production of alcohol… from a variety of plant sources… could allow all humans to be energy self-sufficient… And far from us needing ‘power’s help with this business of reproducing ourselves… their imposed class-regime of millennia has but meant them sitting and sucking on us… and:

 

…we need our own public media commons… our own shared public discussion space… our own shared voices to echo throughout our day to counter ‘power’s… and… let’s get on the same page regarding this matter of ‘the economy’… and consider together “Does Capitalism Have A Future?” and:

 

…so what ‘power’ most wants is for us to turn our backs on our brothers and sisters… keep to our given tasks… and be obedient… else… how can ‘statesmen’ govern? and:

 

…and who is the only player strong enough to do battle with this villain? – the evil corporations – well, ‘the state’ of course… only Daddy has sufficient resources… we-the-people are way out of our league… we must go back to our bedtime stories… and let the Big Boys lead… and:

…‘jobs’ commandeer our energy… divert it down fruitless paths – in terms of getting ourselves free. This is what struck me when reading about the endless discord at Pacifica Radio… You KPFA listeners… how could these stations become village possessions? And how could we dismantle the Pacifica Foundation?… and:

 

…we must also see that ‘power’ has a totalitarian reality… a whole world-view… defined according to its control-needs – to pull us back into… in the aftermath of those moments when we break free… we have to build an alternative focal point – a different center around which to orient our energies – all the energy that is released with ‘power’s hold loosening – which we’re seeing globally… and:

 

“And I somehow have to find a way to explain to people why we need to dismantle the state and build a different one and appease their fears and actually find a way of confronting all the chaos that they are unleashing right now and all the chaos that they will continue to unleash…” (Egyptian Activist Alaa Abd El-Fattah, Part 1) and:

 

“The moment even when they collapse, unless we do something about it…” Let’s be strategic. Isn’t it obvious where we have to put our energy?… on building a solidarity that can’t be undermined? How do we do that?… while we plan… using the Internet… (Egyptian Activist Alaa Abd El-Fattah, Part 2) and:

 

“But for it to be a revolution, you have to have a narrative that brings all the different forms of resistance together, and you have to have hope…” I believe we need to re-think ‘governance’… It may be we cannot get ‘obedience’ out of this word ‘governance’… They desperately want us to be ‘self-regulating’ as Bentham advised… (Egyptian Activist Alaa Abd El-Fattah, Part 3) and:

 

“Fame is fickle food…” I do think that language is at the heart of this matter of our transformation… because to work together we have to be on the same page… working with the same meanings… share the same definitions… so we return to this issue of shared media… in which our speech can gain currency… and with it… our confidence grow… and with it… our hope… and:

 

“…things fall apart…” so what is there to gather that energy?… is what we should be asking ourselves… if we were being strategic… and:

 

…we here in the U.S. have this advantage… called “The Declaration of Independence”… which says that we have the right to abolish this state when it gets in the way of our happiness… so with the speed and the energy of the vortex in our hands (because we have the Internet…) what we send out can sweep wide around… it falls to us to serve the re-balancing process… to consciously take the lead in bringing about freedom for our global humanity… and:

 

…So… just as the state stands in the way of our pursuit of happiness… it stands in the way of developing our thought… for authentic thought to come… and be developed… we need independence from the state… and:

 

As I left C Camp, I let my gaze linger in farewell upon the rows of dilapidated barracks. It was with a mixture of sadness and compassion that I looked once more upon the grotesque spectacle of our women and girls… (Part 67) and:

 

The twelfth Sonderkommando had almost lived out its four months. The sands of our allotted time were fast running out. We had only a few days left – at most a week or two – to live… (Part 68) and:

 

Dr. Mengele’s decision to liquidate C Camp had been carried out… stripped of their clothes… they were quickly pushed below… And what a long road they had traveled in coming here! How filled with unimaginable sorrow each lap of that journey! … (Part 69) and:

But we know the time… we know that the time of ‘the people’ is come… and though it may be stalled… ‘power’ can never end our movement… our movement is life… our always-recurring good news… but it requires global action… you cannot claim Suiz alone… we must back you… and:

 

…as we embrace love… as our future… if we don’t begin to see that ‘power’ sows Division’s seeds consciously… we’ll continue to get manipulated… so what are our objectives?… we-the-people’s?… and:

 

During the course of just six years, the demographics of Europe had changed irredeemably… large areas of Europe had become homogenous… So could racist frat-parties be a tactic?… Is ‘power’ capable of such machinations?… and:

 

…our nature is to seek the truth by consulting the communal voice… the historical consensus… that comes from many minds working on a question… This is what makes the betrayal of the punditry so devastating… when ‘power’ owns them… it owns the communal voice… it creates… names… what it is possible to think… creating the illusion of ‘truth’… as Bentham instructed… It ain’t complicated… ‘states’ are there to get us to do the work – it’s pretty straightforward… and:

 

…because unprocessed ‘crabs-in-a-bucket’ but dumps on us more of the same. That’s not ‘disobedience’… that’s very much doing what you’ve been trained to do… (Barack in High School, Part 1) and:

 

…‘Dependency’ sucks… don’t it? But who set it up? Who’s staging this play? And what is it anyway? Not just who wrote the script… but what’s the point of it?… This new film being discussed is a good example of a key ‘power’-strategy: “dupe the young”… who can’t know the historical ‘common-ness’ (under ‘class’) of what they’re going through… … (Barack in High School, Part 2) and:

 

“This was my world, I said to myself, and I shall be in it, and surrounded by it, if it is the last thing I do on God’s green dirt-ball.”… “No matter about the difficulties past and present, step on it!”… (Zora in High School, Part 1) and:

 

“My two years at Morgan went off very happily indeed. The atmosphere made me feel right. I was at last doing the things I wanted to do. Every new thing I learned in school made me happy…” (Zora in High School, Part 2) and:

 

We cannot leave this mess for future generations to deal with… Remember that scene in the Robert DeNiro film The Good Shepherd…?… We didn’t make this mess… they suffer our presence… depending on our obedience… and this means all of us. You see… that’s the truth we never get to hear… and:

 

What does the Left punditry imagine the U.S. state is? Do they not understand that for Plato’s Tribe… who have the coffers and the conviction… and the firm determination… to realize their vision… that it is a vehicle for them to demonstrate for all (other statesmen) to see… not just their supremacy… but the validity… the truth… of breeding.… What a gift gratis – except they paid for it – this film must be. It reads like a Plato’s Tribe fantasy: Black – White Divided… mutually sniping… and:

 

…you see this in Zora (in all of us…) – until she got right with what her body wanted… she couldn’t be happy… and that gets us back… we here in the U.S… to what we’re guaranteed in the Declaration of Independence… our right to listen to our bodies… our right… to pursue happiness… Instead of “Move To Amend” we need “Move To Plan”… the state’s abolishment… and our gradual transition… to freedom… and:

 

…“Poor, short-sighted women, if only they had understood the mentality of the Third Reich’s KZ, they would have realized that those who did not work did not live.” – Need it be said that this is the mentality of ‘power’?… that ‘rule’ and ‘economic system’… are coterminous… that the point of the state… is to coerce our ‘agreement’… to work… (Part 66) and:

…5 print books… no problem… using the same software… now it’s more like tacking into a strong wind… requiring extreme concentration… because ‘In Design’ seems to have sprouted viruses… and my hard drive seems to have an evil twin… and:

 

……the ‘local’ interconnections have to be with a global consciousness… consciously interlinking with all of our brothers and sisters globally… so that we can coordinate a global action… discuss and flesh out the key elements of a social arrangement based in good fellowship… like, ‘consensus authority’… ‘open tribalism’ (which has sharing as its purpose…) ‘transparent and inclusive decision-making’… fluid ‘structures’ and continuous growth… global-interconnections supporting individual self-sufficiency… and:

 

…“Punch the clock!”… time is essential in order to experience our lives… ‘time’ is just the way they got us to alienate our own lives from ourselves…… and so at base… we have to put in place… an ‘infrastructure’ that allows this… The point is… that nothing can matter more than living our gifts… and living our interconnections – locally and globally – because this is the truth… it means aligning our lives (at long last!…) with truth… and:

 

…we have to figure out that whole tactic of getting pulled off track when they insert those agents into our process…. It happens so easily because we are of good heart… this is partly what I’m thinking about in trying to develop tools for staying centered… and I know that ‘love’ is there at the core… is core to whatever techniques we develop to not get pulled off-track… and:

 

…he was contemplating returning to Kiev… despite loving the beauty of Crimea… because he could feel an ominous undercurrent of malevolence… a heavy breathing on scurrying feet… sowing the seeds of totalitarian authority… like a monster seizing the opportunity to come out of hiding… and:

 

…‘power’ has no nation… And that’s patently unfair, right? ‘Power’ acts with global resources and as a global-shadow-state… and we are stuck in our little ‘nation-box’… trying to fight with this massive global Goliath. If the pundit Left was serious… was truly representative of us… they would be helping us figure out what to do about that… and:

 

…‘weather machines’ and such… it’s like a blank check… a ‘without-limits-ATM-card’… There’s a big silence out there of folks who are targeted and can say nothing… Fascism wasn’t an anomaly… the goal of totalitarian ‘Perfection’ still exists and so what does it mean if folks can’t talk about it? The only way to counter this is to say “we know it exists… but we won’t get distracted from that vision of freedom…” and:

 

…it only takes a miniscule few to dominate [‘manage’] huge numbers if they know what they want… Recall Miklos’ lesson from the annihilation of the Gypsy Camp… we should see that this is what we do… to domesticated animals that aren’t human too… and:

 

These remarks constitute, medically speaking, one of the basic laws of heredity concerning twins. This law has been used extensively by those who claim that environmental factors, such as education, nutrition, the illnesses a person may have suffered, etc., influence only slightly… (Part 60) and:

 

I know men, and it seemed to me that my firm attitude, my measured sentences, and even my silences were the qualities by which I had succeeded in making Dr. Mengele, before whom the SS themselves trembled, offer me a cigarette in the course of a particularly animated discussion, proving he forgot for a moment the circumstances of our relationship. (Part 61) and:

 

Never to my knowledge had anything like this happened in the history of the camp. I did not know quite where to begin. The women were quartered in the C, B3 and FK4 Camps. As far as I knew, most of the Hungarian women were in C Camp. I decided to try there first. (Part 62) and:

 

If they had been able to recognize me it was because I had managed to live in such a way that I still looked like a human being. But it was almost impossible for me to recognize them…. Three months had been long enough for them to have learned to regret the past and fear the future. (Part 63) and:

 

After three months of KZ life they too had learned that the Sonder was the kommando of the living dead. Both looked at me aghast. I reassured them as best I could and promised to return the following day. (Part 64) and:

 

“The fact that I had found my wife and child made sensational news at the crematorium.… But all good things must come to an end.” – …war itself – its result being its purpose: control of us – is ‘economic’ in function… removing from us any hope of self-determined access to our own reproduction process… (Part 65) and:

…“killing in the name of…” remembering the incomparable courage of Rachel Corrie… and:

 

Joel’s book asks the tough questions… like… what exactly is ‘the system’ anyway?… And if you’re interested in taking that broader discussion out into the community… me too… please get in touch. and:

 

I doubt not that ‘power’ put them in its crosshairs… made certain lots of inauthentic people crossed their paths… and:

 

“…work hard…” This is the point of the state. For when we’re kept busy, we can’t figure out the illusion. Our eyes can’t see it… and:

 

…that there is much confusion about “what is ‘the state’?”… because of all those buffers… between ‘the people’ and ‘power’… and that this is precisely the borderland where dissent gets waylaid… gets intercepted… and:

 

The problem is… ‘power’ is using that same inspirational music… has a global focus… a tight lock on the limits of debate… and virtually limitless resources… and our oceans are dying… and:

 

If we can set a path to a future that is the opposite of ‘power’… then ‘power’ cannot hide in our movement… as well as enable us to use our encounters with ‘power’s representatives as a learning experience… as they do with their encounters with us… and:

 

In the name of ‘the state’… in the name of religion… in the name of Plato’s Tribe… in the name of those who call themselves ‘the wise’… these killings are done… “killing in the name of…” and:

 

Rage… demonstrated what listening to your body means… what it looks like… showed how tapping into the force of life itself releases power… and puts you at odds with ‘the system’… and:

 

…they can give us buffers ad infinitum… we gotta talk about that… we gotta look past the buffers. That means we have to have a goal to keep our eyes on… help each other respond… return to calm… and:

 

…that we begin the unification in our pointing away from ‘this’… this current ‘system’ – for our brothers and sisters – seeing the ‘this’ as ‘class’… and seeing ‘class’ as ‘the state’…… and:

 

…Annihilation time had come for the 4,500 inhabitants of the Gypsy Camp. …This time, however, the victims thrown to the flames were not Jews, but Christians: Catholic gypsies from Germany and Austria. (Part 59) and:

One of the interesting things about that quote is what it takes for granted… assumes we know. ‘Power’ is so obvious it’s a given… yet today on the Left it’s gone missing… and with it… accurate analysis… and with that gone… so is gone effective action… and:

 

…what actually happens is the official policy… no matter what nice words they issue in their official statements. The policy is what they allow to happen. They’ve got all he cards. They’ve got all the ‘power’. If it’s happening it’s because they want it to… and:

 

I.e. ‘democracy’ is not fit for a free people… by definition… because it requires our submission… it means… “‘power’ must have its way with us” – because while ‘power’ exists… it will stage the play to accomplish this… and:

 

…a national Left is useless… it effectively means you stand with ‘power’… agree to betray your brothers and sisters who happen to be the designated ‘losers’… globally speaking… …with ‘socialism’ sweeping across Europe… destroying is also consuming… and… and this is the point… removing resources from our use… and:

 

‘Economy’ is just a tool… like any other technology. So ‘war’ is always war on us… whether they spill our guts with guns… or markets. The economy is just war by other means… and war is the profligate failure of ‘breeding’… to control the energy of the majority (the true point of the ‘education’ we’re all given.) and:

 

…the answer is… we-the-people assume responsibility for our own education… and:

 

Of course we’re ‘smart enough’. The way the world is arranged is not ordained… is not about ‘intelligence’ but rather ‘power’… their control of aggregated human energy… which is true power… the power of life… which we reclaim when we stand with each other globally… and not with the would-be ‘masters’…. ‘Moving on’ is a ‘simple’ matter of having a transparent goal that we all discuss and get clear on… and then start working on… everywhere… universal leisure… each individual being free from necessity is the goal… and:

 

So this is the touchstone of our discussions… what global reality… supports individual self-sufficiency?… People of Ukraine: if we who have the resources… the means… to say we will strike with you when you decide you’re ready… to make of Ukraine not a ‘third’… but an opposite way… do not step up… and:

 

… but it’s not the “banality of evil”… it’s the banality of obedience… of following orders… putting our thought processes on hold (which we’re trained to do by parents…) which is all too familiar to us. and:

 

And I suspect discrediting Barack is about more than just regaining the presidency of the U.S. [they can do that with a ‘Democrat’ – Jerry Brown being that stealth candidate… and:

 

Whenever there was an alert we were taken, convoyed by well-armed SS guards, to the Sonderkommando shelter, that is, to the gas chamber. (Part 57) and:

 

This news gave us some slight hope for the future. We knew that the hands that had smuggled us these weapons could not be far off…. As for those destined to pay with their lives, at least they would not have died like worms, crushed by their butchers’ unclean hands. On the contrary, they would be the first in the history of the KZ who, despite overwhelming odds in both numbers and material, would have sowed death and destruction among their torturers before dying proudly like men… (Part 58) and:

It’s not fair for folks with less means than we… to take on global misanthropy alone… we need a global popular consciousness… we have the numbers to move this human story forward… out of the muck of ‘class’… so that we can live our gifts as last… and:

 

“What argument could you possibly raise against a test site?… a few… whoever wants to… beginning to develop a different way of life…? We have to start asking ourselves… why the resistance in us? We understand why in ‘power’… but why in us? Why would we not want to let those who want to figure this out… solve this thousands and thousands of years… of the devastation of class… the chaos of class… and:

 

“Live light for the General Strike…” because how else are we going to support each other globally?… We’ve been talking about being strategic… what else do we have but our human energy?… and heart… and love… and the ability to inter-link… and:

 

What greater evidence do we need… to prove that our thought is conditioned?… than that any among us could imagine… that we-the-people create ‘chaos’… and:

 

When the university bosses… back at it again… tried to impose a $500 ‘fee for success’… students circulated a pledge… that said… “if you pass this fee… when we are alums… we will never donate to this university…” Awesome strategy… as… vampires understand what ‘future planning’ means… Mario Savio lives at Sonoma State University… and:

 

…we’re forced to contribute our energy to projects that we are directed to do…. Imagine when we’re free to share our gifts willingly… and:

 

Savage Continent – a necessary and important book… Where is the Left? In every nation… why not simply say: “It’s time for a global day of planning.” We have to move on from this mess. We have to stop and think… all together… what we want for our future. It’s time to not let it be in the hands of the statesmen anymore… and:

 

This is ‘class’… this is ‘rank’… this is the ‘chaos’ that ‘power’ makes… in being the physical manifestation of ‘power’… ‘class’… ‘rank’… because we are all complicit… all do ‘power’s division work for it… all have been mired in the guilt of mutual betrayal… the wounds are deep… but a test site can reach them… and ultimately… the only way to secure our freedom… is to end ‘power’… and:

 

Do you see?… that such callousness begets misanthropy?… we abandon what we long for out of fear that it’s a fraud… fear that we’ll find ourselves betrayed again… and:

 

It’s in releasing the power of the people globally that we win. Let’s begin talking about this… and:

 

Do we really not think… that Putin and Angela Merkel are not as one… when it comes to keeping the people of Ukraine from carving out a new way… from the way of ‘the state’?… and:

 

The KZ also had its ration system, a much better one than that in force throughout Germany, for it furnished those who used it with any item they desired… it only took one point per item, a point of flame from the Ober’s gun… (Part 54) and:

 

Even though we did not survive, it was our bounden duty to make certain that the world learned of the unimaginable cruelty and sordidness of a people who pretended to be superior. It was imperative that a message addressed to the world leave this place… (Part 55) and:

 

I had become used to seeing a truck enter the crematorium gate every evening about seven o’clock, carrying 70 to 80 men and women on their way to be liquidated… (Part 56) and:

I apologize… 25 minutes… no mike… The Raven snipped her own flight… and:

 

People of Ukraine… we salute you… and:

 

And when you look at these key strategies for keeping the people asleep… none of them is official state ideology… yet all states depend on them to augment ‘patriotism’ when the official state ideology – be it ‘democracy’… or ‘communism’… or ‘socialism’ – wears thin. and:

 

‘Power’ hopes to ‘weed out’ dissent… and so we ‘intractable brutes’… we ones who refuse… ‘power’ wants to be rid of. and:

 

…the goal is simply the feeling we want to be living… and:

 

…we need someone to gather the actual… objective… facts of our situation as commoners: automation… resource exhaustion and depletion… death of our common oceans – present the objective case… that ‘work’ as we’ve been conditioned to accept it… is fading away… explain that it in any case… reduced whole human beings to functionaries… and that the species can’t grow when most are made to let go… their leadership capacities… and:

 

Coercion is by definition unstable… as water seeks its level… earth seeks its balance… and we are earth… Imbalance embedded in the human family has to be corrected. That’s inevitable. And we seek Mutual Aid as certainly as all other species do. Petr Kropotkin showed us this… and:

 

If there are certain subjects that are taboo – and ‘work’ is at the core – then we have to courageously face reality… and admit that the media silence means… totalitarianism is already here… and that it’s our responsibility to talk about it… we need a ‘Children’s Crusade’ designed authentically… to redefine ‘work’ as ‘attending to the earth’… and learning from her… a Crusade to help youth establish a very different future… for all of us… and:

 

“Doctor,” he said, “come quickly. We just found a girl alive at the bottom of the pile of corpses.” (Part 50) and:

 

What could one do with a young girl in the crematorium’s Sonderkommando? (Part 51) and:

 

He considered the dispatch of hundreds of thousands of Jews to the gas chambers as a patriotic duty. (Part 52) and:

 

I calmly related the terrible case we found ourselves confronted with. I described for his benefit what pains the child must have suffered… (Part 53) and:

 

The 02.16.14 Show continues: “Miklos Nyiszli…” And please visit: “Miklos Nyiszli’s Lessons On Class” to read a partial transcript of this show.

 

So what does this mean… in terms of strategy… for ‘power’… for us… that our thought is shepherded? and:

 

Which means… that ‘power’ knows much more precisely than we every could… given our atomization (and until we start overcoming it…) to what degree we are already… more and more uniform in our thinking… we are more and more of one opinion when it comes to ‘rulers’… that we don’t want them… and that this is a global phenomenon. and:

 

You gotta have a goal to get there, right? and:

 

Left pundits insist that the goal is to make the state more ‘democratic’… yet never define how that leads to us getting free – put that out there as the objective… you’ll start generating energy… and:

 

…it’s not about new ‘institutions… but creating ourselves anew… (and…) If you (‘power’) must hide to survive… and you are the tiny few… far out-numbered by the billions of minds (potentially) devoted to the problem of how to get rid of you… i.e. the ‘role’ of ‘ruler’… how do you stay hidden?… except by systematic… continuous… misdirection… and:

 

…So I had been given competent, qualified collaborators, who would share my burdens. For me this was an undeniable relief. (Part 45) and:

 

Approaching his bed, I was moved and chagrined to see that the patient was none other than the “Captain”… A native of Athens, he had been a captain in the regular army and tutor to the children of the royal family of Greece… (Part 46) and:

 

There’s (one of many) an interesting passage in Popper on this: “Plato introduces his Myth of Blood and Soil with the blunt admission that it is a fraud. ‘Well then,’ says the Socrates of the Republic [i.e. Plato’s straw-stuffed manikin…] (Part 47) and:

 

While Plato invented… ‘power’s playbook – and the influence of his thoughts… in being reverenced by ‘rulers’… who need to believe in a larger (‘Historical’) meaning to their misanthropy… cannot be over-estimated… his encouraging child abandonment and infanticide it created a need to ‘prove’ worth that continuously seeds and rebirths misanthropy… which ‘power’ needs… for class to exist…… (Part 48) and:

The role of ‘art’ in ending ‘power’-worship: on Philip Seymour Hoffman… (Part 1) and:

 

Recall it’s all about the imperative to keep the people sleeping… it’s all about the people never thinking… The role of ‘art’ in ending Cpower’-worship: on Philip Seymour Hoffman… (Part 2) and:

 

…faced with a serious shortage of food… their remedy had been both drastic and efficient… (Part 38) and:

 

I am not one usually given to pause and weigh the pro and con before acting. I decide quickly and act quickly, especially when it is a question of an important decision. The results are not always brilliant. The fact that I had ended up here in the crematoriums was the result of a snap decision… (Part 39) and:

 

…‘power’ ensures that the hurt we do to each other happens structurally… automatically…. With all his concern about climate change I noticed he failed to blame himself for taking money from Bill Gates… who funds ‘solar radiation management’ … (Part 40) and:

 

Everywhere I looked I saw nothing but a vast network of barbed wire… The KZ was nothing but barbed wire; the whole of Germany was encompassed by barbed wire, itself an enormous KZ.… There was no denying it, the name “Dr. Mengele”… had made a strong impression on the SS slave.… (Part 41) and:

 

I began to see the light. Dr. Wolff was also engaged in research. In the midst of the stench and smoke of the crematoriums, he too wished to profit from the hundreds of thousands of human guinea pigs available in the KZ… (Part 42) and:

 

“…self-esteem begins with a workable plan…” – and by ‘workable plan’ I mean one that is the result of our process of reasoning… of an analysis that proceeds from point ‘A’ through ‘E’… identifying the steps in-between… that realistically lead… to an absolute challenge to the insanity… (Part 43) and:

…that if we can see how we’re merely tail-chasing when we pursue the goal of ‘improving “democracy”’… that we can begin to step off that track… and take ‘the future’ back.… and end ‘power’-worship once and for all… and:

 

Getting off the ‘Class Train’… defining a new destination… is the challenge of the moment. and:

 

We have to be able to say that how this ‘society’ got this way was through a massive mistake. This is discussed in John Boswell’s The Kindness of Strangers: The Abandonment of Children… and:

 

As always… ‘class’… ‘power’… hides in these conversations… is hidden… passes unexamined. They need us to do what we’re told – this is called ‘education’ – and they protect for their tribe the prerogative of control… and:

 

How many more atrocities must we wait for them to commit?… before we’re ready to take that first step… talking about it… allow in the thought that we must… begin again… this time as global humans… not ‘citizens’… and:

 

…the victims spilled to their death with maniacal fury. Horrified, I noted with what order and robot-like precision the murders were perpetuated… If by chance I ever get out of this place alive, I thought, and have a chance to relate all I’ve seen and lived through, who will believe me? (Part 34) and:

 

Thus I became, with this one autopsy, the coroner for the KZ in charge of all matters pertaining to forensic medicine in the Gleiwitz district. (Part 35) and:

 

It was here that the “surplus” from the “Jewish ramp” was sent, that is, those for whom there was no room in the four crematoriums. The worst kind of death awaited them. (Part 36) and:

 

The pyre was a ditch 50 yards long, six yards wide and three yards deep, a welter of burning bodies. (Part 37) and:

…I have to go to my car to write and read… and:

 

All we’re asking for is a choice… and the power to choose… between being subjects or free… and:

 

…‘power’ hides by giving us the very thoughts we think – silencing the soul… As ‘creatures of illusion’ (as Virginia Woolf so aptly termed us…) atomization is all that is required… … and:

 

…we’re dreaming their dreams… and never given the time to think about our own… and:

 

…Invasion of the Body Snatchers… Prisoners of Childhood… shows… how one of her patients had ceremoniously buried his soul… his authentic self… at age three years old… turned away from its loss… into performance – conformance – … and did what he was told. and:

 

Was it conceivable that Dr. Mengele, or the Berlin-Dahlem Institute, would ever allow me to leave this place alive? (Part 28) and:

 

I suddenly realized that, besides death by gas and chloroform injections, there was a third way of killing here… The Sonderkommando brought out a football. The teams lined up on the field. “SS versus SK.” Sonorous laughter filled the courtyard. Stupefied, I made that mental note as well. (Part 29) and:

 

The first job of every Sonderkommando crew was the cremation of its predecessor. (Part 30) and:

 

To be condemned to death and yet forced to perform jobs such as we had to perform day after day was enough to break the body and soul of the strongest among us… (Part 31) and:

 

…they’ve been inordinately successful given their numbers… this tiny few. It shows the power of a plan… of having a vision and working systematically towards it. This tiny few… who desperately want to believe that they are superior beings… and therefore that it’s a legitimate hierarchy… (Part 32) and:

 

The Sonderkommando was an elite group… Fully aware of this unbalanced situation, the Sonderkommando distributed food and clothing to their less fortunate comrades whenever they could. (Part 33) and:

Despite high-tech sabotage… the earth… she is vast… she is generous… she is us… and that… if we talk with each other… come out of our boxes… that new world is right within our reach… and:

 

It is the story in which ‘division’ is placed that is critical… This dog just seems a’sleeping. … given cover by the media… and:

 

To stack the deck… rig the game… and then delight in ‘winning’… is a child’s play… …no… an abandoned-child’s play… and:

 

…who will say that the only meaningful resistance is to offer our brothers and sisters an alternative… a clear and practical vision… based in reverence… of our own invention… in which we have no keepers… (Part 22) and:

 

The experiments, in medical language called in vivo… This phenomenon was unique in world medical science history… They had to die together, and in good health. (Part 23) and:

 

…whose tiny bodies had to resolve the secret of the reproductions of the race. To advance one step in the search to unlock the secret of multiplying the race of superior beings destined to rule. (Part 24) and:

 

…Thus I learned that the experiments performed here were checked by the highest medical authorities at one of the most famous scientific institutes in the world. (Part 25) and:

 

If Dr. Mengele had any idea that I had discovered the secret of his injections he would send ten doctors, in the name of the political SS, to attest to my death. (Part 26) and:

 

The directors of the Berlin-Dahlem Institute always warmly thanked Dr. Mengele for this rare and precious material… In all three instances the cause of death was the same: an injection of chloroform into the heart. (Part 27) and:

The notion ‘citizen-barbarian’ is inherent in all of the ideologies of class… not just ‘fascism’… and:

 

…Auschwitz by other means… with its media-manipulating enforced silence about ‘weather machines’… and wave-warping… haarp-stringing… technology wet-dreaming… and:

 

…If the goal is to be ‘the best’… and the state is the driver of that process… then… …it must be the driver of us… and:

 

…we must conceive and execute an education campaign to plan a different future for humanity globally… leading to a one-day General Strike… and:

 

What would be different in the physical structure of society if ‘scarcity’ (manufactured) didn’t exist?… if we could design it ourselves? and:

 

…and of coure they’re gonna fight tooth and nail our developing a test site… so it’s about numbers… and it’s about we in the privileged sectors of the world using that privilege to stand with our brothers and sisters globally… and:

 

…once we start the conversations… they will snowball into the future… and:

 

…so all divisions of class are at base expressions… of the so-called ‘citizen’-‘barbarian’ division… which is the ‘intellectual’-‘manual’ divide… as if our freely living our gifts is not going to result in the most mind-blowing explosion of creativity that we can’t even imagine now… and:

 

So our communally-created knowledge endowment… that could support universal leisure… in the hands of an infinitesimal few… would be used to oppose it… (Part 20) and:

 

The ‘work standard’ – slavery – has ever been the constant of class… consider the constant pressure it puts on ‘hand’ labor to ensure for it a state of continuous worry and stress… and in that pressure can we not see that the goal is Auschwitz? and:

 

Trucks took the ashes to the Vistula, a mile away, and dumped them into the raging waters of the river. (Part 21) and:

 

This 01.05.14 Show did not either air or stream over the Internet. BLR has not transmitted over the air for almost the entire time this show has existed, but for the last few days the server that carries our signal to our transmitter has been down.

…once we are stuck in that box… called ‘the job’… or called ‘our service to the state’… we find ourselves with a pricetag on our heads… because the box is a way to… in theory… quantify our so-called ‘worth’… and:

 

It’s a small step from jumping for a star on your forehead… to jumping for a job… and then… Auschwitz is but a nudge away. and:

 

…‘power’ wants to control the so-called ‘knowledge work’ of the world… which means they have to control the so-called ‘grunt work’ of the world… and:

 

…for even if she were ordered into the right-hand column, she would surely beg, on bended knee, for permission to go with our mother. So they would let her go, and she, with tears in her eyes, would shower them with thanks… (Part 14) and:

 

The news of my arrival had spread like wildfire throughout the crematorium. (Part 15) and:

 

I learned the history of the crematoriums. Tens of thousands of prisoners had built them of stone and concrete, finishing them in the middle of an extremely rigorous winter. Every stone was stained with their blood. They had worked day and night, often without food or drink, dressed in mere tatters, so that these infernal death-factories, whose first victims they became, might be finished in time. (Part 16) and:

 

…if we can see Auschwitz… living and feeding on us… settling itself in us… we will rouse ourselves to stop it… (Part 17) and:

 

…Modest women and girls looked at each other questioningly. Perhaps they had not exactly understood the German words.… (Part 18) and:

 

…– a job the Sonderkommando carried out by a voluntary act of impersonalization and in a state of profound distress –… (Part 19) and:

“Make sure your seedling has really good light, so it will develop good roots and stalk…” and:

 

How much do we want to be free?… as the end of class means the end of ranking… of all privilege…. It’s when we accept the privileges the state extends that we most manifest the state. So these and other questions we must face in order to “found and realize a test site…” and:

 

For others it’s easier to imagine ocean-death… than a world in which we’re out of harness – this should show us the depths of our disengagement from our own bodies… and:

 

…both painting clearly our needed picture of ‘democracy’… and showing the seeds of which the U.S. was founded… and:

 

So I, Dr. Miklos Nyiszli, had ceased to exist; henceforth I would be, merely, KZ prisoner Number A 8450.… (Part 5) and:

 

Then began the most inhumane part of the KZ program: roll call.… This sport continued for several hours. (Part 6) and:

 

If there were any dead in the barracks… they too had to be present for the inspection… (Part 7) and:

 

…they practiced their profession with complete devotion… young French or Greek doctors… their wives, their children, their relatives and friends had been liquidated upon arrival. Or rather, burned. (Part 8) and:

 

This was the famous “Gypsy Camp.” The Third Reich’s ethnological experts had classified gypsies as an inferior race. Accordingly, they had been rounded up… throughout the occupied countries… (Part 9) and:

 

…expelled from some fair-sized city: the prisoners’ clothes were smartly tailored… they had managed to create for themselves a pleasant, cultured way of life. And that was the cardinal sin for which they were now paying so dearly. (Part 10) and:

 

I suddenly realized that I was about to take an examination, and that this was the jury before me, a highly important and dangerous jury. (Part 11) and:

 

…the pathology is the class system itself… there is a single mindset behind Auschwitz and that of the larger society: the mindset of ‘class’… (Part 12) and:

 

I took it all in, paralyzed with fright. As soon as I had come through the main gate I had realized that I was on death’s path. (Part 13) and:

The state serves at our pleasure… we don’t serve at its… and:

 

…this millennia-long haunt… only ends by being confronted… and with Nyiszli’s light… we’re much better equipped to try… and:

 

The news about that bomb plunged Father, Uncle ‘Ali, and my young cousins into deep despair… and:

 

One thing was for sure, the Jews had always lived with Arabs, since the beginning of time… and:

 

But that still does not explain how the Jews ended up in the land of the Allemane, does it?… and:

 

We must never forget the lessons Miklos brought us… bought with such unfathomable hardship… and:

 

Inside each of the locked cattle cars ninety people were jammed… (Part 1) and:

 

…this tactic of barking orders at us when we’re tired and disoriented is very effective if we haven’t prepared ourselves for it… (Part 2) and:

 

The left-hand column included the aged, the crippled, the feeble, and women with children under fourteen. The right-hand column consisted entirely of able-bodied men and women: those able to work… (Part 3) and:

 

I fell to thinking about… Germany, where I had spent some of the happiest years of my life… (Part 4) and:

…occupational hazard… and:

 

…how to express the urgency of the need for us to reclaim the leadership of guiding the world… and:

 

…‘global supremacy’ for a reason… and:

 

…conversations about ‘democracy’ are largely conversations about ‘strategy’… as what we all have in common is… we want to escape slavery… and:

 

…I think No Sizwe may be missing what I consider most significant about this passage… the term ‘stay-at-home’… counterposing it with ‘universal adult suffrage’… and:

 

“…Pourquoi pas nous?… Why not us?…” Just as the election of Barack sent a bolt of hope across the world… a General Strike here will electrify the world… and:

 

They want to be ‘players’. They want to use their gifts… they want to be ‘big’… …well… so do we… and:

 

‘Keepers’… keep us… …diminished… and:

 

…happiness requires leisure… your body tells you that… trust it… and:

 

…the mindset of ‘ruler’ and ‘ruled’ – pushed out and suppressed all others… and we manifest it… but the good news is… we can de-manifest it… and:

 

…“how do we pull together?” – out of harness, why would we not?… …under conditions of generalized human leisure (freedom) ‘unhealth’ can never again achieve ‘bias’ – weight enough to tip us into ‘unhealth’… we have to think from the vantage of the whole… It is the health of the overall earth that we’re concerning ourselves with – not controlling our brothers and sisters… and:

 

So what could I have done when I was a young mother… and someone said to me… “The regime of class is totalitarian… and:

 

For too long we’ve been trapped in the mistaken notion that the only escape from slavery is ‘power’s hoop of ‘knowledge’… and:

…the planet cannot support both we-the-people’s global and common demands for full human dignity… and ‘power’s need to maintain gross disparities… and:

 

…that piped-in voice of authority… the punditry… vetted to ensure only the “…‘fix-it’ strategy” gets spoken… locks young people in lies… and:

 

…our longing for freedom gets sucked into ‘power’s longing for ‘perfection’… and:

 

The state can never allow us to define ourselves (self-creation…) as it is determined to define us… and:

 

…this is a nation founded in a mindset of service to goals given us (by ‘power’…) we haven't been able yet to think through what it means to grow up… and develop our own goal… and:

 

…our great work… the promise… that falls to us… here in the U.S…. to accomplish… is for all humanity: to establish general human leisure… globally… and:

 

“…good boy… good boy… you did a good job…” can we please stop saying that to our children?… rage comes from containment… and:

 

…with ease we could unloop each others legs… because… these gifts we are given are meant to be grown… and:

…getting ‘free’ in one nation ain’t the point… we have to represent for the health and the wholeness of the human soul… we have to face ‘class’… and that ‘Auschwitz’ is its destination… we have to look at that moment… to see the present moment… and:

 

…in many ways… getting to our future freedom is about speech… about being able to tell our authentic truth… which is our body’s truth… that we are never allowed to hear spoken over the airwaves… our bodies don’t want to do it this way… the way imposed on us by states… and:

 

…the percentage of youth out in the world today… may be what’s causing this surge of hopeful energy that many of us are feeling… and:

 

…the goal begins when… over the airwaves… someone has the courage to speak the obvious: “…we don’t need a system of coerced work anymore… generalized leisure is possible… and without it we're on the road to totalitarianism… given the planet’s problems…” and:

 

Is ‘democracy’ the goal?… given the end of ‘work’ as we know it?… That’s a big conversation… which… trust… ‘power’ will coopt in a heartbeat into the illusion of ‘democracy’… if we let them… and:

 

“…and the people will remain quiet…” We have to discuss that quote… me too… we don’t want anyone’s head to roll… we want our hearts open… every one of us… but down through the centuries we’ve been stuck in the lie … “…labor is our inevitable lot…”… and it sounds right… which makes the ideology of ‘democracy’ sound right… and:

 

Once we start talking about class dynamics, we’ll start to understand the rage that comes from containment… and:

 

It’s not ‘evil’, as Hannah Arendt termed it, that dark… it’s ‘absence’… and it’s not the lapse of a few under class… but of all of us… as Alice Miller showed us… and:

 

All roads lead back to abandonment… today we abandon our children in pursuit of the wage… and that’s what ‘power’ seeks to impose on the rest of the world… that’s the essence of its totalitarian vision… no allegiance but to ‘the state’… and:

 

De Tocqueville – writing in the 1830s – has already taken the logic of ‘democracy’ as an ideology of ‘rule’ as far as it can go… and as long as it serves the state… that ideology can only serve ‘rule’… States cannot by definition deliver happiness… because they require us to work … and:

…if it’s not about us owning ourselves then what’s the point?… Truly… a new cast of characters in the say-so seat?… I don’t think so… and:

 

There is a logical trajectory of thought – whether ‘power’s or true – which discussions will tease out… for which I hope the (just up) Volume 3 of “Reclaiming Our Leadership” pdf will be useful… we can't be leaders while working these jobs… can we at least get a pundit to say that? So we can begin to unload this massive shame… and:

 

…we cannot expect ‘power’ to behave differently… what we can expect of ourselves… is to render their fear moot… and:

 

The 5th century B.C. Athenian movement against slavery – challenging the key divide of class – achieved considerable practical success… and:

 

…our first allegiance is to our humanity – we have to stop passing on this thinking in boxes – we have to start talking about class… and:

 

…‘right’ laws… ‘right’ state… ‘right’ lock-down – to preserve the sanctity of ‘rule’ – at the cost of our humanity… and:

 

…the power of our first allegiance (to life itself… to humanity itself…) has since ‘class’ began… been the chiefest threat to ‘power’… against which Plato schooled it to be ever-vigilant… and:

 

…the state… step-child and servant… of the quest for ‘perfection’… Popper… with his eyes on the fangs… ignored the coils encircling us all… in the class system… and:

 

What has become of intellectual courage in the pundits… who could so easily launch the freedom ship… of necessary conversations… and:

 

…we-the-people drive what ‘power’ calls ‘economic development’… by our determined efforts to escape slavery… being subject to necessity… and:

 

…the ‘altruism’ that we need… defends one’s own very personal body… defence of the soul is what we need to get free… and:

 

…our unmet ‘need-to-be-seen’… sets us up to‘need’ ‘the wage’ as well… and:

 

…we need a global network of helping… with the goal of planning a future in which the pursuit of happiness is not defining of individuals… but of humanity itself… and:

What does it take for us to claim our ‘bigness’ now… so we can create that critical mass? and:

 

When we are divided from each other we are completely vulnerable to the “shock-and-awe” tactics of ‘power’… which uses “rule-by-bias”… all that weight rolls the way those who control it want it to… and:

 

…‘investigations’?…‘exposes’?… ‘revelations’?… of the misdeeds of ‘power’… or rather… us planning the alternative… so folks can have a choice… and hope? and:

 

“…Grant I may never prove so fond [foolish]… To trust… a keeper with my freedom…” and… year-and-a-half no signal?… please… and:

 

…if you can control where money goes… you can control what gets done… in a system… and:

 

…the “logic of rule” is the impetus behind the de-humanization… privatization… and accumulation processes of ‘power’… accumulation accelerated precisely because ‘power’ got organized… and:

 

…we are already engulfed in resource-wars… we are living the end of an era… let’s prioritize getting free before “saving the planet”… ‘power’ will be happy to fund that… but will never fund our getting free … and:

 

It’s quite likely Popper didn’t take in… ‘accumulation’ as a totalitarian weapon… and:

 

Another way of saying… “…we develop our leadership…” is “…we develop our unique voices…” and:

 

…the choice we are faced with… stunted lives… division from our fellows… lost empathy… lost humanity… or the opposite of those tends… by reaching out to our brothers and sisters… and:

 

…if we accept the terms given… ‘rule by bias’ will always have its way with us… and:

 

…a personal sense of justice is rooted in allegiance with one’s own body… which doesn’t want to be forced… and:

Sisters and brothers: When I got the recorder home that I use to record shows I found, after downloading the file, that it had been wiped clean. Don't know how such a thing is done but… in any case… I will re-record key bits from home… sorry to not be able to put up the actual show.

 

…when Plato cautions ‘power’ that “there must be no split in the unity of the master class”… operationally this means “there must be no split in the unity of the master’s thought…” as concretized… embodied… in us… and:

 

…tell me your logic… I could level more honest outrage at the pundits for not caring about their brothers and sisters in harness right next to them… and that caring could end ‘power’… and:

 

…we parents make of our children ready soil for ‘power’ to plant totalitarianism in… and:

 

…we can only get free by ‘unclogging’ ‘the state’ in us… by developing our thought… and:

 

…if they knew the truth about Plato… would they accept the mantle ‘power’ lays upon them? and:

 

Arresting thought… leaving to the state the prerogative of making the decisions… leads to the withering away of any moral sense… as “the criterion of morality is the interest of the state…” and:

 

…folks who have a goal… in this case a very big goal… know they must accumulate the means to get things done… and:

 

…Popper shows us how we think… or rather… that we are not actually thinking at all… and:

 

Does not ‘governance’ itself imply… rely for its relevance on… ‘scarcity’ as concept and as manufactured reality? and:

 

“…humanitarian ethics demands an equalitarian and individualistic interpretation of justice…” and:

 

Utilitarian ethics defines the world we live in… the state… the market… our inter-relationships…. This is why we’re concerned about humanity itself… we can’t ignore it anymore… it’s time to take that longest stride of soul… and:

 

…inherent in the very notion ‘institutions’ is self-betrayal… and:

…this transition is inevitable… we’re arguing in this space that it’s time for us to make the decisions for us… Miklos Nyiszli reminds us that we have no choice but to step up… and:

 

…an authentic discussion of The Nazi and the Psychiatrist would expose the totalitarian nature of class itself… as well as the hidden coercion when ‘guidance’ is monopolized by the few… serves only that ‘single pattern of thought’ of class… and:

 

…being trained to obey… means our true gifts… blow away… and:

 

What’s not discussed is not just that the lust for limitless ‘power’ exists, but that that lust is leading us… ‘statesmanship’ is the exclusive hold of the few on leadership… when pundits don’t ask the obvious the implicit message is “…they are our betters… nothing can be done…” and:

 

…uniform capacity and differential gifts… in toto mean ‘abundance’… and:

 

The Citadel… a doctor’s story… representing for the Tribe of Free Beings… and:

 

…our would-be ‘masters’ are planning the transition… why aren’t we?… and:

 

…coerced work is a con… and if you encounter resistance when you say this then talk about it… test the notion… distribute as broadly and deeply as you can those discussions… and:

 

“Plato recognizes only one ultimate standard… the interest of the state.… Morality is nothing but political hygiene.”… Overt fascism is the fangs… but totalitarianism is the snake itself… and its coils are tightening around us as we speak… and:

…Atropos has come with her shears… the time of ‘rule’ has full-run… the time of individualities has now begun… and:

 

…at this moment we are globally pondering… what the qualities of a new world – beyond commodification and rank – would have to be… for us to constitute the opposite of class authentically… and:

 

…recall Kropotkin’s concern… that he didn't give enough attention… to the period of transition… let’s think this through now… and:

 

…that’s the point of forcing us away from our children… to make of our children empty vessels – for ‘power’ to fill… and:

 

The truth of abundance is not just of the earth… but of each other… it’s all around us… we just give ‘power’ the credit… and:

 

…this is what I hoped to show in The Talking Tree – that we’re stuck in the same story… and:

 

…so ‘progress’ always was a Ponzi scheme… and:

 

…‘Ancient Greece’ was an invention… it was The Great Mediterranean Bowl… and… the pursuit of happiness is the pursuit of reality… of the truth… which we have to dispel the lies of class to get to… and:

 

All of us have to be leaders… and:

 

…all of our thought process in encampments needs to be about “how do we seed the future in this community so we can be supported? How do we increase our numbers?” Because we are ready tinder we-the-people… we are ready for the light… Bring it… and:

 

Plato… he’s the gold standard for propagandist… ‘power’ has never stopped battling with the truth of our fundamental unity – ‘power’ is ‘power’ is ‘power’… and:

…there has to be a way for us to go around the weight… of the machines of states (both shadow and official…) and start building mutual aid… and:

 

…KPFZ-Allen: the videos and mp3s are much needed… and:

 

…you are invited to Frank Moore’s, the shaman performance artist, latest dance jam celebration… and:

 

…infants are here to show us that we’re born happy… so the fact that its ‘pursuit’ is an issue… exposes the illegitimacy of what states call ‘governance’… and:

 

…so as the conditions of our existence have progressively worsened… decade after decade… ‘governance’ is a fraud… you let our human energy go and we’ll show you it’s not hard to steadily improve our conditions of life… we are rich in gifts… we just want to be able to use them… and:

 

…the system’s stripping us of our power… is… the stripping us of our happiness… and:

 

…if the aim of ‘rule’ (the system) is totalitarian… arguably it is totalitarian… as ‘rule’ has the weight to set that tendency… and the tendency is therefore weighted to produce its intended outcome… and:

 

…central banks suck our energy (represented by money) out of us… and earth… as we rape it… and recycle it to more raping… and to states who chain us for ‘power’…also: is ‘class’ an advance… or an energy-sink and a blockage? and:

 

…‘power’ is leading us to but a deepening of ‘class’… to ask how we can begin leading ourselves… we must confront the past… and:

“…salvation from your woes is only possible when you free yourself from the obsolete idea of patriotism and from the obedience to Governments that is based upon it, and when you boldly enter into the region of that higher idea, the brotherly union of the peoples…” and:

 

…and I want to see every child get ‘big’… to use their full human gifts… and:

 

…if it’s designed not to work… that’s ‘shadow governance’… and:

 

…all the waste of our energy… and:

 

…the intoxicating pursuit of ‘the Republic’… requires fat funding… and:

 

…there are global statesmen with a totalitarian ambition… who move policy coherently because they have a destination… this state of things wasn’t governed into being… and it won’t be governed away… and:

 

…we have to begin thinking differently… or the thoughts we’ve been trained in… reconstitute class… and:

 

…‘power’s tactic when afraid of an action: “…get to the front and lead ’em where you want ’em to go…” and the resources they bring are very seductive… so it’s easy to lie to ourselves about it… and:

 

…stateless trillions held in reserve for… and:

 

…we have to begin discussing how to lead ourselves… as becoming ‘big’ is what brings true happiness… as ‘rule’ forbids the development of this quality inherent in all of us… leadership… ‘rule’ legislates away our happiness… and:

 

…how to see in the club of the budget… shadow governance…? and:

 

…figuring out what we need to be ‘happy’ is not difficult… we don't want to be forced to work anymore… and:

 

Their ‘New Development Paradigm’ will probably look like this… ‘benevolent’ ‘rule’… rules… and:

 

The 10.06.13 Show: “Staying Focused on Our Future… (Pt. 7)” And please visit: “The ‘Global Awakening’?… or “The Great ‘Re-Set’”?” to read a partial transcript of this show.

 

“Socrates’ Dilemma”… points to the illegitimacy of ‘rule’… and:

 

…and it beggars belief to pretend to think… that Sir Richard’s and Ban’s and the World Bank chief’s efforts are completely distinct… let’s not waste time investigating… let’s “Learn - By - Play”… and:

 

‘Education’ may replace ‘the economy’ in determining ‘rank’-designation… if we allow the ‘A-Team’ to ‘lead us’ to their ‘new and improved’ class-destination… and:

 

…as ranking can never produce ‘happiness’… the ‘A-Team’ is rushing to define it for us… ‘scientifically’ of course… and:

 

…forget the toy car… let's come together… let our eyes scale the walls of the illusion… and decide what it means… to ‘pursue happiness’… and:

 

“Surviving Progress”… classic bait-and-switch… is also classic propaganda in defence of the class system… and:

 

What we have is a communally-developed-and-egalitarian-species-creativeness stuffed in an ancient, millennia-long class / rank-based ‘elevation of the few’ form of social arrangement… and we are bursting out of the false constraints… and:

 

It’s the youth this propaganda effort is for… “time captured by jobs” is shrinking… the ship called the global economy is sinking… and they have “too much time” for thinking (and this is thinking authentically)… and:

 

It would be hard to find a clearer admission… of a totalitarian ambition… and ‘the people’ just want… to be free… and:

 

…it’s not the ‘smart ones’ that we need… it’s the global releasing of the people’s energies… and:

Growing our authentic thought is ‘wealth’… growing our authentic thought is ‘pursuing happiness’… ‘pursuing happiness’ requires leisure… and:

 

Karl Popper's The Open Society and Its Enemies can help us see ‘power’s motives… and its plans… and how they manifest in us… let's discuss the page of his words I’ve put up… and:

 

The U.S has fattened off the world… it’s time for us to give back… it’s time to pursue happiness… it’s our codified right… and:

 

Think about the shift in the electro-magnetic field of the world… when we all… globally… start to want our energy back… and:

 

…there we see the importance of codification… now we must re-seize the initiative on ‘pursuing happiness’… before its possibility is nullified… and:

 

…time after time the punditry buffs up some words and says… “See… now you’re free…” ‘power’ is trying to re-direct all those youth who care deeply about the planet… before they can take that next necessary, logical, step to seeing that their brothers and sisters are the ‘earth’ that has to get freed before the earth can get free… and:

 

…we are earth… so it will pull our coats… and:

 

…when the B-Team say… “No one could foresee the results of our profligacy…” we say… “Pawn your cons some other place… Nikola Tesla pulled your coats a hundred years ago…” and:

Anybody got info on… the U.N. draft report on ‘the New Development Paradigm’?… and:

 

It is our right to abolish a government that does not allow us to pursue happiness… the pursuit of which requires… leisure… and:

 

…it’s as if Sir Richard has jumped on Bentham as being useful for ‘power’ today… for reframing ‘the role of government’… and:

 

‘The economy’ can’t provide ‘the good life’… so ‘power’ is busy redefining it… but the ‘value’ of commodification itself… of marketing our gifts (the key source of our unhappiness…) ‘power’ will not revisit… ‘the economy’ is a fiction that we treat as real… and:

 

‘The pundit class’ is the physical manifestation of that necessary barrier between ‘the rulers’ and ‘the ruled’ that Popper wrote about… its creation assured by ‘power’s exclusive control… of the assignation of ‘value’… and:

 

The ‘market mechanism’ assigns values to us… this can never produce ‘happiness’… we have the right and the responsibility as life… to start fresh… and:

 

“‘Measurement’ to guide us… toward what?” is for all of us to think through… because in a future premised on generalized leisure… there is no ‘economy’… and:

 

The con “You’re not smart enough” can’t work anymore… authentic thoughts are flying across the globe simultaneously… this is a unique moment… and:

 

“This strong word ‘value’ has been taken from us…” by… who are these guys? and:

…and when I say “all the earth is eaten” you know that I mean that the control of it is secured… and how is it secured?… it's secured by states… that’s key… and:

 

Now that so many of us are being tossed out of the jobs-nexus… let's use that time… our lives… to think through what this system is based on… and how to move beyond it… and:

 

The other key dynamic leading to a terminal confrontation with ‘power’ is that we want more than this… privatizing obsession of ‘philosopher-statesmen’… animated by the simple means of a market in our lives… and:

 

…us not wanting to be slaves… plus ‘accumulation’… equals… ‘end-game’… and:

 

Thor’s hammer… and:

 

…we are creatures of ‘power’s illusions… and:

 

We have to pay attention to how they use words to con and control and claim the earth for themselves… and we really have to get our own lexicon going… and:

 

…the “‘nation-state’ as frame” con… (pt. 1) and:

 

…listen to what your body says… which for more and more of us globally is… “I'm tired… I'm tired of this mess [called coerced work and the raping of the earth…]” The so-called economic golden era of the 1960s is a subtle promotion of the ‘nation-state’ as the only important frame… (pt. 2) and:

 

What Reich is calling for here is a ‘re-set’ of the economic and political order …by “‘re-setting’ the next generation” on the fruitless path of ceding to ‘power’ the design of the world… and:

 

Max-Neef’s new paradigm for the world… OK finally… we’re talking the right scale… let’s follow up… and:

…“Know Your Enemy”… and:

 

…a spectrum of ‘heart’… and:

 

…if your analysis has got you to the ‘power’-guys… if you’ve gotten to that point… why stop? and:

 

The wage work system does not allow us to develop our gifts… why does no one in academia talk about this?… and what to do about it? and:

 

…it’s as if the U.S. state is a daddy left pundits castigate… and:

 

…confusion about ‘economy’ abounds… without the ‘people’s lexicon’… and:

 

…an ever-decreasing fragment of our energy is devoted to the wage-work system… while our major energy has to be working toward the prize of a future of generalized leisure… and:

 

Generalized human leisure means we define ourselves… instead of continuing to waste our days in endless recognition-seeking… of the system… and:

 

So… it is only to preserve the privatizing means of ‘power’… and essentially their egos… that we accept the degradation of human beings. and:

 

We've been recycling the same thoughts… stopping short of a critique to end ‘power’… generation after generation… and:

…still processing Lakeport… and:

 

The bigger the goal, the bigger our impact… and:

 

Using Plato's playbook ‘power’ invades places with powerful people to flip the culture… if they can… and so: Heads Up! Kris Worthington… come on!… and:

 

It's up to us to decide that we humans will grow beyond being ‘the state’ and ‘the tribe’… and:

 

“Seldom comes the better, except we make it so…” and:

 

We have to act globally to be free locally… and:

Why is it that “those whose hearts are most capable of embracing the world and of loving it” are the “most free”? and:

 

…the tactic of paying folks either without means or without heart to pretend to be what they aren't in order to influence public opinion… and:

 

…it must be we in the ‘mind-work’ zones to take the lead… and say “we need a Global General Strike…” and:

 

…without a global response we become less human… and the Sophists ‘power’ was so afraid of they had to redefine ‘sophism’… and:

 

What is ‘the state’? …in what sense do we represent for ‘the state’? and:

 

…apocalyptic propaganda notwithstanding… good fellowship will prevail… once abundance is the premise of our lives… once we start organizing those global strikes… and:

 

…it's so easy to be free… because the earth is abundant and shares her knowledge… so ‘freedom from necessity’ for us… to ‘power’… is anathema… and:

 

…the practice of child abandonment is not just socially-sanctioned… but socially-mandated… and:

‘Democracy’ cannot work in circumstances of scarcity… and in the absence of scarcity… what would there be to vote on? and:

 

Unleashing Greed but aggregates the resources of the planet in the hands of the very few faster… so what do you suppose are their plans for it? and:

 

“Is it funny?” and:

 

…they have a ‘form’ of ‘state’ that serves them as guide, which means their capacity to do damage far exceeds our ability to expose it… rather than ‘uncovering’ or ‘reporting’ the havoc ‘power’ wreaks far better we should be about developing our common global vision… and:

 

…a ‘propagandist for power’… serving Senator Wyden?… or the National Security Council?… and:

 

…the ‘pundit class’ unconsciously carries ‘power’s water… and relinquishing our authentic voices means our children are provided… by us… with a false model of what it means to be a human… and:

…if mayors with means need help understanding the support Occupiers need… in addition to land… let's see… and:

 

…is the problem organized folks who can't stop eating the planet? (i.e. greed for money and 'power')… 'impersonal economic forces' run amok?… or organized folks who use aggregated means and who are consciously shaping the world that they want? (i.e. greed for 'power' combined with a massive self-belief in rigid rank and authority… and:

 

…authentic lives means self-creation…truth… happiness… and:

 

…we don't know our own beauty… and:

 

…for the ‘social musculature’ of the future… I choose what Nikola chose… our unified Mind… and:

 

…now that’s the wage-work system… manufactured scarcity makes it so… and:

 

…the power of ‘intended but unrealized effects’ (i.e. a vision)… let’s get us a new destination… please… and:

 

…just a shiveringly-small and unloved child… and:

 

Let’s start talking about the power of a vision… for ‘power’… for us… and:

 

The discussion ‘what does it mean to be free?’ leads to the discussion ‘what does it mean to be powerful?’… we need a secular model of service to advocate for the species… and:

 

…our conditioned passive listening serves the pundits but not us… when will they want us all to share in what is now a ‘perk’… reserved for them?… and:

 

…we all have rich capacities… untapped under ‘class’… they come with the package called ‘human’… and:

When we live under conditions of scarcity, that's another way of saying we are made small… (so) we have to take ourselves off the market… and:

 

…let's flesh out our picture of 'global state' and ask: "Does your definition of 'participatory democracy' preclude the aggregation of 'power'?" and:

 

The power that Zora had was true wealth… she did not have thousands of years of being trapped in the illusion of 'class' in her past… and:

 

There's no 'social musculature' of 'future' that is not premised on ending manufactured scarcity… and:

 

…we have to newly-invent the language… and discuss the power of words for controlling us… and:

 

…Shakespeare by class… and:

 

…the truth is there to see of 'power's deeds… and:

 

…'mutual confidence' must be the emblem of our future… must give it its design… and:

Gorky prayer… All things are attainable to those who are free… and:

 

The 07.28.13 Show: “‘Classification’ will not bring ‘class’ to a close… (Pt. 1)”… We will be drawing on the words of Charles Johnson quoted in the chapter, “Progress” in Waking Up. And please visit: Classifying Will Not Bring ‘Class’ To A Close: The Case For Not Labeling Our Future Freedom to read initial thoughts for this show.

 

We reclaim our power by reclaiming our authentic voices... and show it... be it... and unite our discussions within a single frame...globally... and:

 

If we unite our strikes globally... and set our thought on (a common)... the right... track... and:

 

…we have to see what advances our thought… what aligns with the truth of the earth… and get on that track… and:

 

That world of hurt in all of our early stories… and late ones… tracks back to class… and:

 

…we have to see beyond the tactic and the pain of privileging folks of European descent… and:

 

States are true to their intentions… which do not include letting 'the people' make the decisions… and:

 

Relinquishing our power is the world we've had since class began… (and… a thank you to Click and Clack for your laughter…) and:

 

A true road must lead to tenderness… what else but this could our future be? and:

 

Only when we own our lives can we take responsibility for the world... (and) we don't need 'masters' or 'managers' to work hard – let's say that out loud and start the conversations... and:

 

The 07.21.13 Show: Pt. 3 of our discussion on 'rationalism' asks: “What design of infrastructure supports ‘freedom’? and in what way is ‘rationalism’ a dimension of totalitarian control?” We will be drawing on Revealing Division. Please visit: To Rebuild Our Freedom (Pt. 2) to read initial thoughts for this show.

 

A big shout-out and thank you to the youth not letting 'power' play you... and:

 

If there are people paid not to care... the problem is the wage-work system... and:

 

Let's focus on the underlying (hierarchical) structure... recognize that it is inimical to life... and then start 'future-defining'... instead of focusing on the antics of the state... and:

 

So the difficulty in chief... is overcoming the belief... that nothing is certain... and:

 

It's easy to see what we need for a healthy life... and the resources exist for it... that instead life is made a feat of endurance... should clue us in... there's a plan... and:

 

The point of 'class'... as Plato named it... is to prevent thought (in us) from happening... and looking behind we see... a structure that precludes the possibility of empathy... and:

 

…helping each other… our natural tendency to come together… is the true force… that 'power' must continuously attempt to crush by creating conditions of scarcity… and:

 

We don't talk about what we've lost is losing the earth… this is another one of those conversations about ‘the future’ we need to have… and:

 

The official Left has forfeited the ground of ‘freedom’… self-creation… and:

 

‘Power’s hollow concepts tumble in when examined… and… once this is the work of enough of us… crash ‘the system’… and:

 

The power of 'certainty'... and:

 

Technological domination... 'power's muscle... can be met by the organized resistance of scientists... or... if we just... stop... and:

 

The 07.14.13 Show: Pt. 2 of our discussion “Why ‘rationalism’ is a con” asks, “When will we-the-people take ownership of ‘the future’? We will be drawing on "Claiming Our Commons". For a partial transcript of this radio show... visit: To Rebuild Our Freedom (Pt. 2).

 

The 'imperialism of rationalism' erects interior structures in us all... and:

 

When will the Left pundits call the question of what we want? and:

 

Egypt has given us so many gifts... they are showing us that the global economy exposes the con 'nationalism'... and:

 

We have to stop focusing on the name they give to 'the system'... it's only the fact there is a class system that is relevant... and:

 

The exploding, eroding notion of 'work'... and:

 

For thirty years at least we should have been talking about this contradiction Terence Hopkins pointed out... and:

 

Terence Hopkins and Karl Popper: different angles on the truth that together reveal more of it... the key for rectifying them – called 'the earth' – will have to be developed quickly... in real time... and:

 

The 'accumulation process' is the 'privatization process'... and:

 

Is it really possible for we-the-people to claim the mechanisms of 'the state'? and:

 

"This world is not conclusion... the world in which each one of us gets to be 'big'... stands beyond... and:

 

On the 07.07.13 Show, as part of a discussion of “Why ‘rationalism’ is a con” we will be drawing on"Getting To Our Future Freedom". For a partial transcript of this radio show... visit: To Rebuild Our Freedom (Pt. 2).

 

Egypt: a de-centralized civic structure... requires transforming 'work'... and:

 

Egypt calls the question of 'the state'... and:

 

What gets numbers is big vision, big hope... we want big change... we want the future... "affairs are now soul size"... and:

 

All of our un-asked-for energy we let go... that's wrong... there are critical ancestors who preserve the thoughts (the certainty) we need to see through 'power's cons... and:

 

Seeing in 'the infinite' the key to bridging rifts between all religions (and it's only 'scarcity' that leads to all the false divisions being contentious issues between us)... and:

 

So what would the martial arts training for ending 'class' look like?... But we have to want to be free to start working on it... and:

 

We have to change the physical infrastructure of society... and that means de-centralizing 'power' globally... and:

 

Controlling us has three aspects... comprehended by 'the Panopticon'... globally... and:

 

A single world market compels everyone, all the people of the world, to, eventually, ‘come in’… making ‘the economy’ thereby a ‘universal lexicon’… and:

 

On the 06.30.13 Show, as part of our discussion of “‘mind-work’ on the margin,” we will be drawing on Blog 39: “Round And Round And Round We Go But Not Merrily”. For a partial transcript of the radio show... visit: To Rebuild Our Freedom (Pt. 1)

 

A wage work system negates any attempt... to pursue happiness... and:

 

What in a wage work system speaks to us as 'happiness'? and:

 

The codified right to 'pursue happiness' is an advantage that carries greater responsibility... and:

 

We have no means to know ourselves except through these mediations of 'mind-workers'... and:

 

To achieve a broad existence on earth... to realize in ourselves more and more of this truth called 'the infinite'...[is also] Tesla's sense... feeling... of science... and:

 

Words matter... and feeling excised means 'performance'... on the job... and under orders... and:

 

We are defined by the structures we are born into... we have to be the ones who design them.. and:

 

Why I love Robert Shaw... and:

 

On the 06.23.13 Show, in addition to discussing Immanuel Wallerstein's comments at the 2013 Left Forum we will be drawing on "The Plan, Pt. 4… 'Seeing Reality'" from Waking Up and Blog 48: The Responsibility of the Intellectual. For a partial transcript of the radio show... visit: To Rebuild Our Freedom (Pt. 1)

06.23.13 excerpts:

 

At least we have agreement that "'capitalism' is doomed"... and:

 

The system coming to an end is not 'capitalism'... but 'class'... and:

 

'Capitalism' as ideology... and:

 

A wage-work system means narrowed vision... and:

 

We have a 'left' / 'right' version of the same story... 'progress'.. and:

 

...so a tiny few can play 'dress-up' in ill-fitting robes... and:

 

06.16.13 Show excerpts (...not over the airwaves.) (For a partial transcript... visit: To Rebuild Our Freedom (Pt. 1)):

 

Does a 'wage work'system tend toward totalitarianism? Why aren't we discussing it?.. and:

 

We're captured by cons... in the absence of alternative thoughts... and:

 

The myth of 'sustainable growth and development... and the myth of 'mind-makes-wealth'... and:

 

...drumbeat suggestive injunctions... and:

 

The myth is that 'progress' secures existence... this is what 'wage work' means... and:

 

One day of a global mass strike and we will see... that we are everything... and:

 

The key con of 'the market' that 'the best arise'... is to hide the creation of a permanent 'underclass'... how else provide food cheap? and:

 

Because it's remunerated well... it seems as if the 'mind-work' is actually generating wealth... and:

 

They set the weight... the thoughts... that bend the world its way... and:

 

06.09.13 Show excerpts (...not over the airwaves.) (For a partial transcript... visit: To Rebuild Our Freedom (Pt. 1)):

 

'Power' (coercion) drives down the cost of food... to subsidize... everything else... and:

 

Economists are stuck in unconscious assumptions... of 'natural' hierarchical divides... and:

 

'Profits'... in our mother-tongue funds but diminishment... and:

 

True wealth was stolen... and:

 

The means exist for us to solve our own problems... and only we can solve them... and:

 

The preferencing of 'mind' over 'hand'... as key to 'power's rule... supercedes money in priority... and:

 

"Jakarta pays the check." and:

 

Poorly-remunerated 'hand' subsidizes highly-remunerated 'mind'... and:

 

06.02.13 Show excerpts (...not over the airwaves.) (For a partial transcript... visit: To Rebuild Our Freedom (Pt. 1)):

 

We're not here to help 'power' rule over the resources of the planet (including us): a big thank you to our brothers and sisters in Turkey and:

 

Economists tell themselves that 'inequality' is built into the 'mental - manual divide'... and:

 

...a massive con's at work... and:

 

There's a child at the tot lot... and:

 

The fallacy of the 'necessity' of inequality... and:

 

'The market' under 'class' is a con in the service of 'power'... and:

 

Do we really have to see this pattern develop to its fullest extent... before we respond appropriate to the threat? and:

 

...and to convert 'life' into 'thought' is called "creating wealth"... and:

 

Notice that this so-called "canonical Kuznets movement" strips us of our ability to be self-sufficient... so 'growing up' turns out to mean... 'staying children'... and:

 

05.26.13 Show excerpts (This show... as per usual... not over the airwaves.) (For a partial transcript see: To Rebuild Our Freedom: Taking A Look At the Galbraith Book):

 

This train is set in motion... and it's got a speed to it... (Galbraith review, Pt. 1) and:

 

We must start saying, "We need a mass movement to end wage work..." it's the only refuge... because they can't get in front of it... (Galbraith review, Pt. 2) and:

 

How do we know 'power' is sculpting a reality? (Galbraith review, Pt. 3) and:

 

This is called sculpting by means of credit... i.e. money... (Pt. 4) and:

 

The physics of inequality... the pattern will play itself out... this is what legacy-trillions can do... unless we start making a new one... (Pt. 5) and:

 

The Galbraith book shows us that it is humans acting in concert who intentionally create 'inequality... (Pt. 6) and:

 

Our thought to step in concert must before-hand be in concert... tell me the question before you tell me that the answer varies... and:

 

"...twenty million people at our beck and call..." and:

 

05.19.13 Show excerpts (This show... as per usual... was not broadcast over the airwaves.):

 

Occupy The Farm!... and:

 

Atomization... and systematized lies... fuels a disbelief in each others' abilities...and... we bought these lies at tremendous cost to our solidarity... and:

 

Trust... 'power' is behind this... "find-the-solution-within" con... and:

 

...he kept going back secretly... to finish his project... then 'power' puts its face on it... and:

 

'Power' stands in our reflected light... how do you command something as powerful as the human? and:

 

...being on opposite sides with our body unconsciously demoralizes... which is why 'happiness' is 'self creation'... and:

 

...it's even more essential that we begin to see ourselves... as our collective power cannot be conquered... and:

 

An ancient Chinese fable... and:

 

We aren't telling ourselves that we have to root ourselves to unroot 'power'... so that freedom in infinite diversity can live... and:

 

Heads up! for next week: on 'power's tactical uses of money to sculpt the future it wants... i.e. as a planning tool... a first look at James Galbraith's book Inequality and Instability and:

 

05.12.13 Show excerpts (This show was not broadcast over the airwaves.):

 

Strategies are illumed by the goal... and:

 

Reacting to what 'power' does is not going to get us a future based on freedom (leisure)... and: the above is a discussion of Bentham's Strategic Verities…and:

 

Good strategy comes from seeing reality... and:

 

If we are no longer made 'self-regulating' by the market (via the wage)... what does this mean for 'power's project of managing... us? and:

 

When they tell us to put our lives on hold... to sacrifice... to save the earth... don't buy it... remember: we are earth... and:

 

05.05.13 Show excerpts (The phone line at the station site was out... so there was no transmission of this show at B.L.R.):

 

Seeing these guys is seeing 'class' because 'class' is their work... their effects... their vision made manifest... and... would not our prospects improve if 'control' was the word Marxists used... instead of 'class'? and:

 

Karl Popper explains why 'power' believes only the 'philosopher-king' can govern effectively... and:

 

Says 'power' to us: "Violence is 'out' but yea! for dictatorship..." and:

 

If you're sculpting a world reality of hierarchy... there's gotta be winners and losers... (Pt. 1) and:
