Americans are NOT Stupid-WITH SUBTITLES

Bramble Bees and Others (c.1911) by Jean Henri Fabre

Of the various insects that like to make their home in our houses, certainly the most interesting, for her beautiful shape, her curious manners, and her wonderful nest, is a certain Wasp called the Pelopaeus. She is very little known, even to the people by whose fireside she lives. This is owing to her quiet, peaceful ways; she is so very retiring that her host is nearly always ignorant of her presence.

...

I once saw a Bee-eating Wasp, while carrying a Bee to her storehouse, attacked and caught by a Mantis. The Wasp was in the act of eating the honey she had found in the Bee’s crop. The double saw of the Mantis closed suddenly on the feasting Wasp; but neither terror nor torture could persuade that greedy creature to leave off eating. Even while she was herself being actually devoured she continued to lick honey from her Bee!

CHAPTER 6.

INSTINCT AND DISCERNMENT.

The Pelopaeus (A Mason-wasp forming the subject of essays which have not yet been published in English.--Translator's Note.) gives us a very poor idea of her intellect when she plasters up the spot in the wall where the nest which I have removed used to stand, when she persists in cramming her cell with Spiders for the benefit of an egg no longer there and when she dutifully closes a cell which my forceps has left empty, extracting alike germ and provisions. The Mason-bees (Cf. "The Mason-bees": chapter 7.--Translator's Note.), the caterpillar of the Great Peacock Moth (Cf. "Social Life in the Insect World" by J.H. Fabre, translated by Bernard Miall: chapter 14.-- Translator's Note.) and many others, when subjected to similar tests, are guilty of the same illogical behaviour: they continue, in the normal order, their series of industrious actions, though an accident has now rendered them all useless. Just like millstones unable to cease revolving though there be no corn left to grind, let them once be given the compelling power and they will continue to perform their task despite its futility. Are they then machines? Far be it from me to think anything so foolish.

Chapter 5: Experimental Techniques

Policeman Injured in Gun Accident

A policeman accidentally shot himself in the leg as he was getting into a car in central London.

The diplomatic protection officer had been on duty in the Grosvenor Square area on Saturday and is described as "stable" in hospital.

A Scotland Yard spokeswoman said the incident had not been outside the US Embassy in the square.

She said: "The officer shot himself in the leg. The incident occurred whilst he was on duty in a police vehicle."

She added that no one else had been injured and the Metropolitan Police's Directorate of Professional Standards would investigate the incident.

The matter has also been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission as is usual when a gun is discharged.

She added: "The officer will be relieved of operational firearm duties while the investigation is carried out."

As promised in previous entries... here and here:

The aforementioned more personalized type of blog entries will be archived on a completely new and separate blog and the work will continue on this separate weblog in the very near future, as I would like to keep the purity of this (ce399) particular type of blog--meaning being strictly a... depository or backbone, if you will--intact.

All of this would probably best be served in another blog entirely; one focusing on art, film and music--which might be the direction I will be headed in the future.

Transformations and Upgrades

This archive is currently under reconstruction.

Briefly, the initial concept of ce399.typepad.com was to archive documents (newspapers, excerpts from books, etc) in a coherent and easy to access manner for researchers interested in the field of anti-fascism and related matters.

But, as the project progressed over the years, the research archive began taking on a more personal, synergistic and opinion editorial--sometimes even very polemic--type approach. Most of these types of more personalized entries can be found in the 'Selected Posts' section of the side bar.

Also, this is very important: Please note, the side bar contains a great many external links not found in this archive's internal catagorization function; thus that portion begins with the heading 'Index and Links'

The aforementioned more personalized type of blog entries will be archived on a completely new and separate blog and the work will continue on this separate weblog in the very near future, as I would like to keep the purity of this (ce399) particular type of blog--meaning being strictly a research archive, depository or backbone, if you will--intact.

Check back later for more updates.

Search Function Now Available

A search function for this site is now available. The user has the option of either searching the world wide web or ce399.typepad.com.

Unfortunately, typepad allows for an embedded blog search via Google only, so I had to weigh the addition of this form of advertising to my site versus the added functionality of a blog search, which I think is ultimately a trade off worth making. Other site search ´widgets´ were available, but all were rather typical in their aesthetic dysfunctionality; in addition to being crass and incoherent, to say the least.

Whether you are a regular reader, occasional reader, or a researcher surfing in from Google or another search engine, I sincerely hope the addition of a search feature makes this archive a more valuable research experience.

ce399.typepad.com is fully indexed by Google (or at least I hope it is) and the search feature is located at the very bottom of this blog.

Here is a sample.

Enjoy!

LOS DIOSES DE LA MUERTE

To where I will go?
To where I will go?
The way of the Dual God.
By luck is your house in the place
of the emaciated ones?
Perhaps inside the sky?
or only here in the Earth
it is the place of the emaciated ones?

Cantares Mexicanos: fol. 35.

The Earth God opens the mouth with hunger to swallow the blood of which they will die in this war. It seems that they are wanted to cheer the sun and the called God of the Earth Tlaltecuhtli; who they present the Gods the sky and hell, doing to them convites with blood and meat of the men who will be to die in this war. They are already in the sight the Gods of the sky and hell to see who are those that are to win… whose blood has to be drunk and whose meat has to be eaten.

Sahagún, op. cit.

Rotting and Ripening

The cathode-ray tube or "Crookes' tube" like object depicted in scenes from the temple of Hathor at Dendera may depict a relativistic source of these heavy electrons - which could drastically expedite the magical processes which involve these particular tubes.

The walls are decorated with human figures next to bulb-like objects reminiscent of oversized light bulbs. Inside these "bulbs" there are snakes in wavy lines. The snakes' pointed tails issue from a lotus flower, which, without much imagination, can be interpreted as the socket of the bulb. Something similar to a wire leads to a small box on which the air god is kneeling. Adjacent to it stands a two-armed djed pillar as a symbol of power, which is connected to the snake. Also remarkable is the baboon-like demon holding two knives in his hands, which are interpreted as a protective and defensive power.

In his book The Eyes of the Sphinx, Erich Von Däniken writes that the relief is found in "a secret crypt" that "can be accessed only through a small opening. The room has a low ceiling. The air is stale and laced with the smell of dried urine from the guards who occasionally use it as a urinal." The room is not so secret, however, as many tourists visit and photograph the room every year. Von Daniken sees the snake as a filament, the djed pillar as an insulator, and claims "the monkey with the sharpened knives symbolizes the danger that awaits those who do not understand the device." This "device" is, the reader is assured, an ancient electric light bulb.

Ancient Egyptian Alchemy and Science

 

Consider these two dragons, for they are the true beginnings of philosophy which the sages were not permitted to show their children. The one at the bottom is called the fixed and the constant or the man. But the upper snake is the volatile or black, dark woman. The first is called sulphur or the warm and dry. The other is called quicksilver or the cold and moist (...).

Project Quicksilver

...a special "Quicksilver gland" in his head. The gland lets Fawkes secrete a light-bending substance called " "Quicksilver" from his pores and follicles. The substance quickly coats his skin, hair, nails and clothes and renders him invisible (he can still see because the Quicksilver covering his eyes shifts other wavelengths of light into the visible spectrum.) He can consciously release the Quicksilver, which then flakes off and disintegrates. The catch is that the Quicksilver gland was sabotaged at its creation to release a neurotoxin that accumulates in his bloodstream and causes intense pain, followed by psychosis and antisocial behavior. He requires regular doses of "counteragent" to keep him sane and healthy, which is controlled by said government agency.

...

Risks of Prolonged Invisibility

Although no long-term research is currently available on the subject, preliminary evidence from subject Simon Cole suggests that subjects rendered permanently invisible become anxious very quickly, and rapidly develop dissociative personality disorders. A sense of disconnection from the physical world sets in and appears to contribute to a state of heightened paranoia and rage.

Project Quicksilver

Dr. Diefendorf says, in Chapter VI on Dementia Paralytica (Paresis) :

Dementia Paralytica, or general paresis of the insane, is a chronic psychosis of middle age, characterized by progressive mental deterioration with symptoms of excitation of the central nervous system, leading to absolute dementia and paralysis, and pathologically, by a fairly definite series of organic changes in the brain and spinal cord, probably the result of some toxin, in the origin of which syphilis is most often an important factor.

Etiology.--The disease is unknown among the uncivilized nations and is most prevalent in western Europe and North America, hence, it seems to be a disease of modern civilization. In America, the disease comprises from five to eight per cent of the admissions to insane institutions, but in some European cities, notably Berlin and Munich, the paretics average thirty-six to forty-five per cent of the male admissions. The disease is somewhat more prevalent in large cities and manufacturing centers, while it is relatively rare in farming communities.

Uncivilized nations do not treat syphilis or other diseases with mercury; therefore, we find among them no Dementia Paralytica, locomotor ataxia or paralysis agitans. These diseases are found only in localities of the earth where drug stores flourish.

Therefore, paralytic diseases are more prevalent in large cities and manufacturing centers where syphilitic diseases and consequent mercurial treatment are more prevalent.

´The Tree Is Rotten´

JUDAS:
Rabbi, can I talk to you?

He sits next to him.

JUDAS:
I'm not like these other men. I mean,
they're good enough. But they're
weak. How are they going to fight
for you? They couldn't even fight
for themselves. Where'd you find
them? One's worse than the other.
This is no army.

JESUS:
I don't need soldiers.

JUDAS:
You wanted me. And if I love somebody,
I'd die for them. If I hate somebody,
I'll kill them. I can even kill
somebody I love if he does the wrong
thing. Do you understand?

JESUS:
I understand.

JUDAS:
The other day when you said turn the
other cheek to the man that hit you,
I didn't like that. Only an angel
could do that, only an angel or a
dog. I'm a free man. I don't turn my
cheek to anyone. You do need soldiers.

JESUS:
Will soldiers make me free?

JUDAS:
You want freedom for Israel?

JESUS:
I want freedom for the soul.

JUDAS:
First you free the body, then the
soul. You know that. The Romans come
first.

JESUS:
The soul is first. If you don't change
what the soul needs, you'll only
replace Roman domination with another
domination and nothing'll ever change.
First you have to change man inside.
Then man can change what's around
him. It's wanting wealth and power
that makes the soul want to dominate
others. That's the wanting we have
to change, we have to free the soul
first. With love.

JUDAS:
We all want that eventually. But
right now the only way is to start
from the bottom. You build a house
from the foundation up...
(he turns)
Who's there?

Andrew, sleepy-eyed, walks over, concerned:

ANDREW:
It's me, Andrew. Is everything...

JESUS:
(interrupting)
Go back to sleep. Judas and I are
talking.

Andrew turns and leaves. Judas waits, then speaks.

JUDAS:
I still don't know who you are.

JESUS:
Neither do I.

[...]

Jesus and the Baptist are weary from hours of debate.

JESUS:
Isn't love enough?

THE BAPTIST:
No. The tree is rotten. You have to
take the ax and cut it down.

JESUS:
If I was a woodcutter, I'd cut. If I
was fire, I'd burn. But I'm a heart
and I love.

THE BAPTIST:
I'm a heart also but I can't love
what's unjust. I can't love evil.
What I can't love I attack. God
demands it. God demands anger.

JESUS:
Anger? Aren't we all brothers?

THE BAPTIST:
You think love is God's only way? Go
to the Dead Sea. Look in the bottom,
you'll see the two whores, Sodom and
Gomorrah. God was angry. He threw
fire at them, turned over the dry
land and the sea swallowed them up.
That's God's way. 'On the day of the Lord
[blood will flow from wood] and
the stones of the houses will come alive
and kill their owners!' That day is
here. He gave me the ax, now I give
it to you.

[...] 

LION:
Welcome, Jesus. Congratulations.
You've overcome the small temptations
of a woman, a family. We're both
bigger than that. A woman's not
enough, we need the whole world.

JESUS:
Who are you?

LION:
I'm you. I'm your heart. Your heart
is so hungry. It pretends to be humble
but it secretly wants to conquer the
world. I will set my four feet down,
one in Babylon, one in Jerusalem,
one in Alexandria, the last in Rome.

JESUS:
I've never wanted a kingdom on earth.
The Kingdom of Heaven's good enough
for me.

The Lion's voice transforms into Judas':

LION:
You're a liar. You've always wanted
power. When you were making crosses
for the Romans in Nazareth, your
head was exploding with dreams of
power. You said it was God, but you
really wanted to rule others. Now
you will. Any country you want. All
countries. You will rule Babylon.
You will rule Jerusalem. You will
rule Alexandria. You will even rule
Rome.

Jesus, shaking, reaches out toward the Lion.

JESUS:
Liar! Step into my circle so I can
pull out your tongue.

The Lion steps into the circle, and, as he does, disappears.

[...]

We see from over Jesus' shoulder. John the Baptist crouches
down into the frame, puts his hand on Jesus' shoulder and
speaks:

THE BAPTIST:
Don't be afraid. You are the One. I
was the one who came before you. My
work is finished. Now I can die. The
Lord wants me to tell you to stand
up, his day is here. Take the ax.
Run and carry the message to men.

Jesus rises and strikes at the root of the tree with an ax.

Entire scene turns red.

[...]

Jesus calmly addresses a money-changer.

JESUS:
How's the exchange today? Making a
good profit?

MONEY-CHANGER:
Fair. Can I help you?

Jesus stares for a moment and then with one violent blow
sends the counter filled with coins sailing into the money-
changer's face.

Jesus, now enraged, strides past the booths, overturning the
tables. Scales, weights and coins from all over the world
scatter in every direction. The vendors rush to retrieve
their money.

Other vendors and customers turn on Jesus. Judas, Peter and
the others forcibly fight them off. Jesus calls out:

JESUS:
This is my Father's house. It's a
place for worship, not a bank, or a
market.

The disciples circle Jesus for his protection. The RABBI,
surrounded by SADDUCESS, steps out of the temple.

RABBI:
Nazarene, what are you doing?

JESUS:
God doesn't need a grand house. He
doesn't need cyprus and bloody
animals. He doesn't need shekels.

RABBI:
You expect people to pay the tax in
Roman coins? They have images of
false gods on them. You want pagan
gods in the temple? All foreign coins
have to be changed to shekels. That
the law.

JESUS:
I abolish the law. I give a new law
and a new hope!

RABBI:
What, did God change his mind about
the old law?

JESUS:
(exasperated)
No, no. He just thinks our hearts
are ready now to hold more.

RABBI:
(not listening)
This chaos is your new law? How can
you presume...

JESUS:
How can I presume? Because I am the
fulfillment of the old law and the
beginning of the new.

SADDUCEE:
(shocked)
Watch what you're saying.

Peter, becoming concerned with the drift of this argument,
whispers to Jesus.

PETER:
Maybe we should go...

Jesus pushes him away.

JESUS:
When I say, 'I,' Rabbi, I am saying
'God.'

RABBI:
That's blasphemy!

JESUS:
Didn't you hear? I'm the Saint of
Blasphemy. Don't make any mistakes.
I haven't come to bring peace, I've
come to bring a sword.

SADDUCEE:
Talking like that will get you killed.

JESUS:
I'm sick of all of you. This temple
will be destroyed in three days. One
stone won't be left standing on
another. You think God belongs only
to you?! He doesn't! God's an immortal
spirit and belongs to everybody --
to the whole world. You're not
special! God is not an Israelite!

[...]


JESUS:
The prophet Daniel had a vision. A
huge statue had a gold head, and
silver shoulders...

PILATE:
(interrupts)
Don't tell me stories. I'm not a
dumb Jew.

JESUS:
Listen. Learn.

PILATE:
(daring him)
Go ahead. Teach me something.

JESUS:
The stomach was bronze, the legs
were iron, the feet were clay. A
stone was thrown. The clay feet broke
and the statue collapsed.

PILATE:
Is that it?

JESUS:
God is the thrower. I'm the stone.
Rome is the statue.

PILATE:
Clearly. But that's how you're going
to bring down the Roman Empire? One
stone? Only you?

[...]

Jesus again stands before Pilate. He is bloody, beaten,
exhausted from lack of sleep. A clique of Temple Guards,
Pharisees and Sadducess stand in one corner of the hall.

PILATE:
Ah yes. Well last time you took that
line with me, you fooled me. I don't
like to be fooled. What you did in
the temple makes it very clear. You're
just another of these religious
revolutionaries making difficulties.
You take the people into the desert,
you talk about God, love, mercy and
the new kingdom, but you're just the
same as the Zealots. You all promise
glory and bring death. There's a new
Messiah every week and a new one
dies every week and Rome continues.

JESUS:
Remember the statue. And the stone.
And the clay feet.

PILATE:
How could I forget. Still think your
kingdom will replace Rome?

JESUS:
No. My kingdom is not on earth.

PILATE:
No, it wouldn't be. You're a little
smarter than the others. After all,
what's a revolution on earth compared
to a revolution in people's hearts?

JESUS:
It's a revolution that will come
with love, not by the sword.

PILATE:
Either way it's dangerous. It's
against Rome. It's against the way
the world is. And either way, I don't
care. Sword or love, it's all the
same. I don't care how you want to
change things. We don't want them
changed. So you know what has to
happen. We have a small space for
you up on Golgotha. Right next to
the bones of your predecessors. Three
thousand skulls there, very likely
more by now. Maybe you people should
go out and count them sometime. Maybe
then you'd learn your lesson. But
probably not.

Pilate looks over at the Pharisees and Sadducees.

PILATE:
Do you gentlemen have anything to
add?

SADDUCEE:
We can't condone the killing of any
Jew. But everything this man does
and everything he says could lead to
revolution. We don't want revolution.
Action against a power like Rome is
hopeless. It invites reprisals that
would mean the extinction of the
Jewish people. It's the death of one
man against the death of millions.
There's no alternative for us.

PHARISEE:
Many of our own people believe this
man is being paid by Rome anyway.

PILATE:
Fine. It's agreed.
(to Jesus)
But just so people appreciate your
rank, we'll write it all out for
them. "King of the Jews."

THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST

Screenplay by
Paul Schrader

Based on a novel by
Nikos Kazantzakis

The Lying Society

"If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked."
Proverbs, 29:12

The word [liar] is derived from the Indo-European root, leugh, and the old-English, leogan: "to tell a lie". With the prefix, waer, "faith" or "pledge", we get the old-English, waerleogan, or "oath breaker". Waerleogan, in modern English, is Warlock: "a male witch, a demon".

The fossils of the world tell us that false representation, oath breaking, and witchcraft, are part of that complex process known as "lying". A liar, then, is a witch or demon who distorts reality, to your injury and his gain. To establish credibility with you, he may give the appearance of helping you. But in the long term, he claims your life, just as another liar will claim his.

Lying is deadly, and highly contagious. The man who receives his information from a liar will spew out lies when he passes the information on. When you have liars, trained in the demonic arts, controlling the highest seats of governmental authority, you will have liars controlling the information channels. When their lies fill the printed pages, loudspeakers, and TV screens, you will have liars administering the workplaces, marketplaces, schools, churches, and homes. Without realizing it, your nation becomes possessed by demons; your nation practices the politics of witchcraft.

A liar's fortunes are very cleverly established on his pretenses of virtue; otherwise, well-meaning people would have nothing to do with him. He will not think twice about murdering to protect his good reputation.

In a lying society, murder is an acceptable alternative to radically changing one's views. In lying societies, the virtues are brutishness, deceit, sodomy, theft, debt, and suicide. He who is most menacing and monstrous is most popular.

Though powerful in appearance, lies are in reality extremely fragile. There is no protection for a liar except (1) darkness, or (2) the mercy of a more powerful liar. This is why lying societies crave dimness of room and of mind. It is why they seek bondage to human authority.
