- Update (August 12, 2009) : More Convergence Accounts, CrimethInc, August 8, 2009: “Here are four more accounts from people of color who experienced the disruption at the end of the CrimethInc. convergence in Pittsburgh. Further discussion of the convergence will appear here shortly…”

There’s a hella lotta stuff I wanna blog about, and will. (And in fact have: 1,966 posts, to be exact, generating 9,894 comments in reply — not all of them mine! — and over 1,300,000 spam goddamn.) But, being an anarchist (to be precise: believing ‘anarchism’ to be the political philosophy with which I feel the closest affinity), a leftist trainspotter, and devoting considerable time and energy to blogging about issues to do with race, (anti-)racism and (anti-)fascism, I feel compelled (and not only by my ZOG controllers) to blog some more about APOC ~versus~ CrimethInc.
To begin with, my previous post on the subject has generated very little in the way of dialogue (apart from an appreciative note by Aragorn!, an emotional one from Dr. Cam, and some useful fact-checking by Ernesto). “Will it be ever thus?” (“Ungracious wretches!”) Much of the remainder of the online commentary on the incident — @ anarchistnews.org, infoshop.org, various IndyMedia sites, blogs, email lists and so on — has been painful to read. Having considered the question ‘Why is this the case?’, it seems to me that there are at least three main reasons.
First, and most obviously, i can has trolls.
Secondly, and more importantly, anarchism (not only in North America, but perhaps especially so, and for various reasons), remains, in general, the domain of yoof. Further to this, there is a divide between the ‘yoof’ what are ‘active’, and the generally older (former) yoofs what are engaged in ‘serious’ forms of political analysis and social research; the production of forms of knowledge useful, perhaps even critical, to dismantling those forms of authority and expressions of power identified as being the primary obstacles to the realisation of anarchy.
In this context, a number of individuals have made the point that the kinds of cultural norms and practices which constitute ‘contemporary anarchism’ in North America (and not only there), including a reluctance to engage in open-ended, critical inquiry, tends to alienate many, who frequently find other, more welcoming — but not necessarily ‘safer’ — social spaces and political projects in which to explore and to enact their ideas.
Thirdly, because anarchism is a label, and not a warranty.
One, slightly odd development has been the extension of the practical critique on display in Pittsburgh to ‘Food Not Bombs’. According to one (and perhaps more) APOC, FNB is, like CrimethInc, “a white supremacist movement” (sic). This written, and as yet not practical, assault on FNB appears to be even more tendentious — even slightly unhinged — than the attempted eviction of CrimethInc (see : kilwaii.blogspot.com/). On another level, however, it is, in fact, its logical extension. That is, ‘race’, ‘whiteness’ and ‘white supremacy’ are viewed as being the product of moral failures, not history.
Like CrimethInc, there are criticisms to be made of FNB, some of which emanate from members of the hundreds of FNB collectives themselves. In any case, the criticisms being advanced by one (and perhaps more) APOC, being of little substance, do not require any serious response; a response which would, in any case, be best made by those involved in its activities.
Some might ask ‘Why do I bother?’ (I sure fucking do), and what interest is it of mine to pay any attention to the rather odd activities of ‘anarchists’ of one sort (or another) on the other side of the world. Certainly, the same criticism has been levelled with regards my interest in a range of other subjects, from documenting some of the similarly odd — but fascinating — antics of the far left and the far right in Australia; fascism and anti-fascist struggle in Russia; and the triumphant march of the Collingwood football club to ultimate victory in September.
For what it’s worth, and leaving to one side the fact that such incidents at least have the virtue of raising a number of interesting questions regarding the intersection of race and class in the United States — and the anarchist understanding of such matters — the fact is that in terms of the maintenance of global capitalism, the United States is at the heart of Empire. Given also that race (or racial segmentation) continues to form one of the fault lines upon which US society is built — and even, some argue, constitutes its principal social contradiction — how radical movements in the US tackle such questions is of enormous significance. (If I were a Marxist, I might declare it to be a question of ‘world-historical’ importance: I’m not and I don’t.)
To end: ‘Smack A White Boy: The Sequel’ may be considered to have been an ill-conceived stunt, performed by a small number of non-local Pittsburgh APOC, reflective of an impoverished analysis and — irrespective of whatever degree of personal satisfaction was obtained by those who participated — on the whole, counter-productive in terms of challenging either gentrification in (the East End of) Pittsburgh or ‘white privilege’ in the North American anarchist movement or the United States in general. Secondly, the action is the responsibility of those who took part in it: not ‘APOC’ as a whole. Thirdly, the action has the virtue of forcing other APOC to clarify their views. Fourthly, it exposes (or helps to further expose) the political tensions inherent in the APOC project, especially in regards to issues of racial or ethnic nationalism. Finally, while it is alleged that ‘CrimethInc’ and ‘Food Not Bombs’ are ‘white supremacist’ institutions, the real white supremacists, such as those belonging to fascist groupuscules such as BANANAS, are laughing.
And so they should.

The Reproduction of Everyday Life
Fredy Perlman
1969
The everyday practical activity of [Americans] reproduces, or perpetuates, [America]. This reproduction is not merely physical, but social as well. Through their daily activities [Americans] do not merely reproduce a group of human beings; they reproduce [America], namely a particular social form within which this group of human beings performs specific activities in a specific manner. The specific activities of [Americans] are not the outcome of “natural” characteristics of the individuals who perform them, the way the production of honey is an outcome of the “nature” of a bee. The daily life enacted and perpetuated by [Americans] is a specific social response to particular material and historical conditions.
The everyday activity of slaves reproduces slavery. Through their daily activities, slaves do not merely reproduce themselves and their masters physically; they also reproduce the instruments with which the master represses them, and their own habits of submission to the master’s authority. To men who live in a slave society, the master-slave relation seems like a natural and eternal relation. However, men are not born masters or slaves. Slavery is a specific social form, and men submit to it only in very particular material and historical conditions.
The practical everyday activity of wage-workers reproduces wage labor and capital. Through their daily activities, “modern” men, like tribesmen and slaves, reproduce the inhabitants, the social relations and the ideas of their society; they reproduce the social form of daily life. Like the tribe and the slave system, the capitalist system is neither the natural nor the final form of human society; like the earlier social forms, capitalism is a specific response to material and historical conditions.
Unlike earlier forms of social activity, everyday life in capitalist society systematically transforms the material conditions to which capitalism originally responded. Some of the material limits to human activity come gradually under human control. At a high level of industrialization, practical activity creates its own material conditions as well as its social form. Thus the subject of analysis is not only how practical activity in capitalist society reproduces capitalist society, but also how this activity itself eliminates the material conditions to which capitalism is a response…

A Question Of Privilege
[Anonymous]
Willful Disobedience, Vol.2, No.8
A flawed, but interesting and provocative perspective on an oft-cited notion, published some 10 or so years ago…
One hears a lot of talk about privilege in anarchist circles these days. “Male privilege”, “white-skin privilege”, “first-world privilege” and similar phrases come up regularly in discussion, but with no real analysis to back them up, as if everyone should understand exactly what is meant. And, indeed, it is not so difficult to figure out what is meant by these phrases. Their clear implication is that if the oppression and exploitation one suffers in this society is not as intense as that which another suffers, then one is privileged relative to that other person. But such a conception of privilege is useless from an anarchist and revolutionary perspective. It only has meaning in relation to the reformist concept of equality before the law, which is always equality of exploitation and oppression. For those of us who have no interest in rights, but rather want the freedom to determine our own lives and so find the only equality worth pursuing to be equality of access to all that is necessary for determining the conditions of our existence—that is, for those of us for whom the destruction of the social order and the revolutionary transformation of reality are the essential first steps toward making our lives our own—a very different concept of privilege must be developed.
We live in a class society. This has been true since the accumulation of wealth and power into a few hands gave rise to the state and capital. The few who rule determine the conditions under which everyone exists, institutionalizing social relations that maintain and expand their control over wealth and power. The ruling class structures these relations in such a way that the survival of the exploited classes depends upon their continued participation in the reproduction of these relationships, thus guaranteeing the continuation of class society. Thus, it can be said that the ruling class structures social relationships in such a way that the continued reproduction of society will always privilege the ruling class and its needs. In any class society—thus, in any society in which the state and the economy exist—only the ruling class can be truly said to have privilege.
But the ruling class does not impose itself upon a passive populace. The history of class society is always the history of class struggle, the history of the exploited trying to take their lives and the social conditions under which they exist back in order to determine them for themselves. Thus, it is in the interest of the ruling class to structure social relations in such a way as to create divisions within the exploited classes that cloud their understanding of the nature of their struggle and of their enemy. The ruling class accomplishes this through various institutions, identities and ideologies such as nation, race, gender, occupation, sexual preference and so on. It is not hard to see how the ruling class uses these structures for its ends. It grants people in specific social categories particular “privileges” defined in terms of that category. But being granted a privilege by those who define your life on their terms is not the same thing as having privilege. This becomes especially clear when anyone who is not of the ruling class steps out of line. Their so-called privileges can quickly disappear.
Furthermore, these “privileges” granted by the ruling order to people in certain social categories among the exploited actually do amount to nothing more than a lessening of the intensity of exploitation and oppression experienced by these people relative to others. Thus, men are less likely to be sexually harassed and assaulted than women and tend to receive greater compensation for the same level of exploitation at the job. White people are less likely to be harassed by cops or to be charged with felonies for victimless crimes and sentenced to years in prison than non-white people and find it easier to get a job. Heterosexuals generally do not have to worry about being beaten or ostracized because of their sexual preference. The list could go on, but I think the point is clear. All of these so-called privileges are nothing more than a minimal easing of the conditions of exploitation experienced by people in these specific social categories. They are intended to convince these people that they have more in common with their exploiters than with those not granted the same “privileges” and to convince the others that their real enemy is not the ruling class, but rather those granted a less intense level of exploitation.
In this light, moralistic calls to recognize one’s own privilege and give it up are meaningless. They serve no purpose in the creation of a revolutionary project aimed at the destruction of all rule. As we have seen, the so-called privileges enumerated in the mea culpas of guilt ridden radicals are really nothing more than means for constructing social identities that serve the ruling class by producing artificial divisions among those they exploit. So if we want to move the revolutionary project of destroying all rule and privilege forward, then our task is not to give up some phantom privilege that has never really been our own, but to expose and move beyond the artificial identities that smother our individuality and cripple us in our battle against the ruling order. Since only the ruling class truly has privilege, the destruction of privilege will only occur when we destroy all rule.

‘Notes on Nationalism’
George Orwell
1945
…The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, but he has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them. For quite six years the English admirers of Hitler contrived not to learn of the existence of Dachau and Buchenwald. And those who are loudest in denouncing the German concentration camps are often quite unaware, or only very dimly aware, that there are also concentration camps in Russia. Huge events like the Ukraine famine of 1933, involving the deaths of millions of people, have actually escaped the attention of the majority of English russophiles. Many English people have heard almost nothing about the extermination of German and Polish Jews during the present war. Their own antisemitism has caused this vast crime to bounce off their consciousness. In nationalist thought there are facts which are both true and untrue, known and unknown. A known fact may be so unbearable that it is habitually pushed aside and not allowed to enter into logical processes, or on the other hand it may enter into every calculation and yet never be admitted as a fact, even in one’s own mind.
Every nationalist is haunted by the belief that the past can be altered. He spends part of his time in a fantasy world in which things happen as they should — in which, for example, the Spanish Armada was a success or the Russian Revolution was crushed in 1918 — and he will transfer fragments of this world to the history books whenever possible. Much of the propagandist writing of our time amounts to plain forgery. Material facts are suppressed, dates altered, quotations removed from their context and doctored so as to change their meaning. Events which it is felt ought not to have happened are left unmentioned and ultimately denied(6). In 1927 Chiang Kai Shek boiled hundreds of Communists alive, and yet within ten years he had become one of the heroes of the Left. The re-alignment of world politics had brought him into the anti-Fascist camp, and so it was felt that the boiling of the Communists ‘didn’t count’, or perhaps had not happened. The primary aim of propaganda is, of course, to influence contemporary opinion, but those who rewrite history do probably believe with part of their minds that they are actually thrusting facts into the past. When one considers the elaborate forgeries that have been committed in order to show that Trotsky did not play a valuable part in the Russian civil war, it is difficult to feel that the people responsible are merely lying. More probably they feel that their own version was what happened in the sight of God, and that one is justified in rearranging the records accordingly.
Indifference to objective truth is encouraged by the sealing-off of one part of the world from another, which makes it harder and harder to discover what is actually happening. There can often be a genuine doubt about the most enormous events. For example, it is impossible to calculate within millions, perhaps even tens of millions, the number of deaths caused by the present war. The calamities that are constantly being reported — battles, massacres, famines, revolutions — tend to inspire in the average person a feeling of unreality. One has no way of verifying the facts, one is not even fully certain that they have happened, and one is always presented with totally different interpretations from different sources. What were the rights and wrongs of the Warsaw rising of August 1944? Is it true about the German gas ovens in Poland? Who was really to blame for the Bengal famine? Probably the truth is discoverable, but the facts will be so dishonestly set forth in almost any newspaper that the ordinary reader can be forgiven either for swallowing lies or failing to form an opinion. The general uncertainty as to what is really happening makes it easier to cling to lunatic beliefs. Since nothing is ever quite proved or disproved, the most unmistakable fact can be impudently denied. Moreover, although endlessly brooding on power, victory, defeat, revenge, the nationalist is often somewhat uninterested in what happens in the real world. What he wants is to feel that his own unit is getting the better of some other unit, and he can more easily do this by scoring off an adversary than by examining the facts to see whether they support him. All nationalist controversy is at the debating-society level. It is always entirely inconclusive, since each contestant invariably believes himself to have won the victory. Some nationalists are not far from schizophrenia, living quite happily amid dreams of power and conquest which have no connection with the physical world…
There is an excellent movie called “The Killing Floor” which is about union organising black and white workers at a meatworks during the time of the Chicago race riots. It’s based on real events and people. There is a poster on libcom who posts as Hieronymous, he will send out a dvd to anyone who wants it.
The Killing Floor (1985)

Landing a job on the “killing floor” at a meat-packing plant, he becomes involved in the labor movement. But mounting racial pressure places him between the unionists and other blacks, and he is ultimately swept into the Chicago race riots of 1919. Bill Duke’s hard-hitting docudrama, produced for PBS’s AMERICAN PLAYHOUSE, mixes documentary footage with a dramatization of the events leading up to the riots, to powerful effect. Duke’s film plunges the audience into the era, giving an intimate and compelling view of that time. Just as the film spares nothing in its portrayal of the brutality of the slaughterhouse, it is equally honest in its depiction of the complexities that racial and cultural differences brought to the union movement. It’s a testament to Bill Duke’s vision as a filmmaker that he chose such a difficult and compelling subject for his feature debut.

‘Killing’ Lacks Emotional Depth
Patrick Goldstein
Los Angeles Times
August 15, 1986
It’s easy to see why the makers of “The Killing Floor” (at the Fox International) were fascinated by the story of Frank Custer, a black sharecropper turned labor organizer who became embroiled in the strife between blacks and immigrant whites in a World War I-era Chicago slaughterhouse. It’s an obscure, but compelling slice of history, worthy of a documentary or a highly charged piece of fiction.
Unfortunately, these film makers get mired somewhere in between, sticking scrupulously to the historical record, but never capturing enough of the obsessive personal struggle that could have made this an explosive drama.
Clearly shot on a bargain-basement budget, the film (which originally aired on PBS’ “American Playhouse”) focuses on Custer (Damien Leake), a soft-spoken field hand who heads North to the meat-packing houses of Chicago in hopes of eventually bringing along his wife Mattie (Alfre Woodard) and kids.
At the slaughterhouse, Custer thrusts himself in the midst of an emerging union battle. Beefy German immigrants like Bill Bremer (Clarence Felder) are warring for a wage increase while black workers like Heavy Williams (Moses Gunn) keep their distance, suspicious of the white-dominated union.
When the war ends and the economy falls apart, this uneasy alliance between the union, organizer Custer and his black recruits quickly unravels. Custer is left stranded, alienated from his black friends by his union loyalties but cut off from his union allies after the city erupts in a deadly race riot.
The film does a remarkably savvy job of capturing the rugged job of union organizing and showing how management exploited these ethnic tensions to stifle the union. But, like too many historical set-pieces, its preoccupation with the facts keeps the film in a dramatic straitjacket. The chronological facts are there, but the human truth is often missing.
With the exception of Bremer, all of the union organizers are cardboard figures. It would have been intriguing to see more of Custer’s budding friendships with his white union brethren, especially how they may have discovered or overcome their striking differences in cultural background.
Even if the story is too plodding and one-dimensional by far, much of the acting is superb. It’s disappointing to see Woodard cast in such a stock female role, but several other players have meatier parts, especially Leake, who neatly underplays his role as a wide-eyed innocent in awe of the big city. Gunn, who’s been sadly underutilized in recent years, is also excellent as the gruff, cynical slaughterhouse worker.
The problem here is that the film makers have stumbled on a poignant story loaded with heroism and bitterness, but they’ve failed to bring any of that struggle to the screen.

Happy birthday, heading for 38 and still an anarchist – you must be the oldest one in the country?!
Have a few Vitamin Bs and put the feet up and remember that in the last 38 years the country has gone to hell, take beer adverts for example.
The once-mandatory John Meillon voiceover has gone, as have the images of sweating blue-collar workers. The theme from The Magnificent Seven movie remains, but relegated to the background.
In their place celebrities mixing with groups of real Australians marching under tongue-in-cheek banners such as “Blokes who punch above their weight”; or men with good-looking wives, “Manscapers”; or metrosexuals who shave in unexpected places; and even “Sheilas named Sheila”, featuring women who are actually named Sheila.
The voice you hear in your head is the power of the Gods. It’s a remote technology, like a computer, perhaps functioning on some frequency, and it can listen and talk to everyone in the universe simultaneously.
What the Gods taught the children was the truth:::God is everywhere, and as you will learn:::If you want to go to heaven you have to be good.
It is a tool, and the Gods use their tools to test people with temptation:::It will role-play people in your life:::Parents, friends, spouses, and employers in an attempt to corrupt people. Ionically, it does the very same thing to those people whom you think you’re hearing, except in that individual’s unique way:::We are all managed by the God’s technology.
But this “agent of the Gods” can do more than just communicate. It can force thoughts into people’s heads, force behaviors onto their bodies. It can turn healthy cells in your body into cancerous cells. It is absolute power. And this is just the beginning.
The Gods favor the children most among all the people due to their innocence and purity. But society and the God’s tools therein corrupt the children at a progressively younger age, yet another clue illustrating we live in a constantly deteriorating environment.
Children who fix their problems with the Gods accend into heaven. Adults enter clone hosting. The gods sell them as one in the same, but one is good while the other is evil.
And their corruption will cost the disfavored, for they will be reincarnated as a lesser life form into an ever deteriorating world, success becoming ever more alluding with each passing life.
The hole they’ve dug for themselves is even deeper than the one that existed from their prior lives, ensuring it will take even more time and work to fix their problems with the Gods. And for many of us there may not be enough time left.
Ours is an environment where evil is perceived to be rewarded while good is punished. As with everything the Gods have a reason for creating this perception:::
People who fall on the good side of the good/evil scale have more favor, and when they do something wrong the Gods punish them BECAUSE THEY WANT THEM TO LEARN. The Gods want them to receive this feedback in hope they make corrections and begin to behave appropriately. The Gods DON’T like evil and refuse to grant this feedback.
EVERYBODY pays for what they do wrong, only evil people must wait until their next life before they will experience the wrath of the Gods, manifested in their placement as a lower form of life into environments with increased/enhanced temptations.
Sadly, this allows the Gods to position this perception of evil rewarded as temptation, one which they use as an EXTREMELY effective corruptor.
The Gods send the clue that the Jews are HIGHLY corruptable with the movie “The Ten Commandments”.
Jesus was the “King of the Jews”. Typical for the disfavored, once goals were achieved and sufficient damage was incurred the Gods allowed it to end, and the Jews killed him.
Some of our society’s values are a reflection of the God’s:::Punitive and reward based. Contrary to Jesus’s teaching’s you will NOT be forgiven and you have to earn your way into heaven:::As we learned from religious/morality education during our formitable years:::If you want to go to heaven you have to be good. The only savior that will exist in our lives is ourselves.
As like so many of you, Jesus did everything the Gods tempted him with. His legacy of whorism is the legacy inherited from his parents:::Mary was no virgin. Rather, she was a prostitute, and when he grew up Jesus met someone like dear ‘ole mom. This is a cruel joke the Gods play on Latinos, similar to the rape and subsequent “missionary work” by the Spanish. And it is because of their disfavor.
Baptism does not alleviate “original sin”. Rather, baptism PLACES original sin by indoctrinating these children into this evil religion, much like circumcision was a method to inflict early damage/mutilation and make accention just that much more difficult, another hurdle one must overcome, and yet another clue we live in a constantly deteriorating environment. Body ornamentation (tattoos/piercing), celebrated in Africa and elsewhere among disfavored peoples/cultures, also violates the body the Gods gave us in their image, quite contrary to the positive attitudes they hold regarding this practice.
This is just another example of “reverse positioning” which the Gods have so frequently integrated into Planet Earth’s history:::The Second Coming of Christ is evil while the Anti-Christ will try to save Planet Earth by reinstituting so many of mankind’s past norms and mores which made life decent, looking like a facist, the “bad guy” in this modern era of indecency.
No matter what they say, no matter what you hear the Gods WILL enforce their Italian/mafia positioning.
The only difference is their grandfathers carried automatic weapons.
The Gods created the perception “Italians are stupid”, ensuring a slow learning curve, to justify using them to accomplish goals throughout the transitional 20th century.
Everyone who failed to accend and remained on Earth past a certain date will be forced to deal with this positioning:::A ceiling is in place.
This serves the God’s goal of minimizing the percentage of potential candidates as society deteriorates, much as “instant gratification” did beginning in the 80s:::It will take multiple lives for some disfavored to fix their relationship with the Gods and accend, and many have been conditioned not to have the patience for it.
Whether behavior is involuntary or based on freewill depends on one’s level of disfavor, as well as other complex factors:::May I remind you about the coercitive environment the Gods created in the 20th century, specifically to create a temptation that few Italians (or their associates) would overcome:::”We’re in control. If you want to be a part of it you’ll do what you’re told.” Early-mid 20th century positioning was infallible.
What about black people??? Consistant with Planet Reverse Positioning, in Africa blacks are being punished with AIDS for their sexual promiscuity in hope they learn and correct their behavior.
Both Africa and the Medittereanean are regions which have sexual issues. This is a sign of morbid disfavor once you understand that females are the God’s favored gender. Muhammad’s (Mohammed’s) polygamy halfway through his life as a prophet was preditory. Now a huge percentage of Muslims believes in male superiority and that the abuse of women is God’s will. Female genital mutilation is still practiced in Africa. Black misogyny is the most eggregious example in the recent past.
Vailing is tradition for some, practical for others, one which aids in the men’s self control among some cultures. Much like the Jews who killed Jesus, like the bigots who oppose immigration there is a reason embraced by the masses and the real purpose, displaying the intent of the Gods:::Conclude the evil that was the life of Jesus Christ, initiating the temptation of Christianity through the Church, and offer a clue to purebloods that they should not abandon their motherland.
The patriarchal cancer spread throughout Europe because of Christianity, of which the majority of policy makers were Italian men.
The Holocaust was a clue the Gods utilize scapegoatting as a strategy.
Why did the Gods punish the Jews with the Holocaust? Was it for the destruction of cultures which Christianity caused? Perhaps they corrupted the Jews “after the fact”, telling 19th/early 20th century Jews that Jesus “earned” for the Jews by preying upon the Europeans and other cultures which the missionaries destroyed?
The German destruction of European churches/cathederals during WWII is a clue. Note:::Although an Axis power, the Gods wanted to keep the Catholic stronghold in Italy, ensuring they could use this tool against them for many years to come.
Planet Reverse Positioning:::The Nazis were the “good guys”. So are the Muslims/Palestinians.
The Gods subsequently used revenge for the Holocaust as temptation::::”Your Italian brothers have a tool, a special power which can achieve sweet revenge. Are you interested??” And they were::::An excellent example of enraged mob mentality.
Similar to the United States, recently illustrated by the deposition of Saddam Hussein, the Jews are preditors.
Much as with the Jesus event, the Gods use the disfavored to prey on each other::::The Germans fell for this temptation by following the preditor/corruptors-Austrians (Hitler). What the Germans did was wrong, for they fell for temptation and failed to have empathy for the disfavored.
The Gods send many clues suggesting the great favor of the Germans (regionally). I suspect the Holocaust was used to “level the playing field” in Europe, for the Germans had far too much favor to be included in the agenda planned for their neighbors otherwise. I think the Cold War’s Berlin Wall dividing Germany into east and west was a clue suggesting this.
In the aftermath of the Holocaust the Gods tested the Jews with the temptation of revenge, an offer which many gladly accepted. If the Jews only would have emersed themselves in Judism the Gods would have “protected” them from the raveges of temptation. Judism may be the one superior religion in all the world, and the Jews would have been wise taking refuge in this exceptional benefit bestowed by the Gods rather than looking for the easy way out.
Militancy in Africa is consistant with the Iraqi example, as was slavery and the KKK here in America:::Fear enforces proper behavior. Without it we see what happens as a result of gross/morbid disfavor:::AIDS, crack babies, dead young men in gangland retaliation killings.
The same principle was true in Europe and throughout the world for centuries:::People whom lived under iron fists were conditioned to think the right way. As a result they experienced higher numbers of children accend into heaven because they were taught to think and behave appropriately. Our preditory environment of “freedom” was the primary purpose the Gods had when implimenting this strategy that is the United States, one which they used to spred the cancer of democracy and westernization throughout the world. And the Gods use this tool that is America to prey on the disfavored both at home and abroad.
“The Chosen People” – Africa. Italians HATE Africans because of their invasion/rape of Southern Italy. The Gods did this SPECIFICALLY to strategically position their 20th century goals:::
The Gods have used the ghettos of America as a dumping ground. This may be temporary/cyclical, illustrated by the Italians who parlayed their own civil war into the Black Wars of the 80s and 90s, in addition to the “thug life”/gangster state of mind.
Ironically, it was these same Italians and their cooperating associates who were reincarnated into the ghetto as crack babies and gangster thugs for this event.
There is justice in the universe.
Of course it may be more of a permanant change, indicated by the enhanced temptations in these neighborhoods, for the Gods have created an enviornmet so riddled with temptation few can escape/overcome.
Even the Old Testiment is not to be taken literally, but the Gods do offer clues throughout to help the disfavored:::The apple is a tool of temptation used to corrupt Adam and Eve and cast them out of the Garden of Eden.
There is another lesson to be learned from this passage, and it is quite similar to the vailing issue and the discourse over women’s attire which ultimately died in the 70s:::Women are responsible for and control the fate of mankind.
The masculinization of women experienced in the last few decades should cause despondancy and desperation:::It illustrates the deterioration of mankind’s collective favor and is a clue the Gods are preparing for some event.
Think about what I say. Consider what I teach.
When I am no longer here or no longer teach the Gods ARE NOT going to share with you.
Even if you doubt now you need to remember the principles that I teach because the Gods ARE NOT going to be generous with the disfavored. Society is going to become disturbingly ugly as we approach the Apocalypse due to spiralling, runaway disfavor, and you are going to be on your own.
I do not know when this will occurr, but it is the God’s way to grant some time after this event before they end on Planet Earth.
Make the decision to always be good and never look back. Until you do this technology will employ tactics to test your resolve:::Ridicule, beligerance, doubt and refusal to abandon what people perceive to be their “investment”.
Pray daily. Think appropriately. Too many are confident, unaware of the God’s awesome powers or their status as antients. Others may fall prey to their positioning.
Be humbled, God-fearing and beware of the God’s temptations, for everyone is tested to evaluate their worthiness.
The Gods have called me “The Chosen One”. What that means, I don’t know. But the pattern holds true with the other prophets:
1. Jesus cooperated and created the perception of forgiveness.
2. Muhammud corrupted half the Muslim world with polygamy.
I refuse to comply and fall for temptation. But that won’t stop the God’s will, for they used me to inspire items of popular culture which corrupted the people.
The Gods test you with temptation. You have failed. I recommend you make the decision to be good and never look back, for they will employ tactics to test your resolve.
The Gods selected and groomed me in prior lives to justify exploitation and use promoting temptation among the disfavored in the 20th and 21st centuries. The enormity of the dynamics enabling this situation is overwhelming, and each element is (un)justified in offenses of prior lives, illustrating their pre-meditated intent.
Wave upon wave of demented avengers
March cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream
I’m a bit worried about your constant use of the word “Gods” – before I give up my job as a fisherman to follow you can tell me how many Gods there are, their names and respective powers.
