The Flesh Prison vs. The Moral Will - The Policy of Poverty, Part I

What is money except a form of loot, and loot is any portable form of wealth which can and will be taken from someone who has kept it up to that point?  What is it except some sort of value in some sort of context?  Not all values can be taken from a person, but what can is, in this world, coveted by those who do not have it.  That's a fact

Throughout history, loot has been among the chief rewards to those who attack and slaughter others, whether killing them outright or else first brutally abusing and enslaving them after wiping out their former, perhaps not-too-virtuous rulers.  In fact, the main problem in a lot of history's massive wars was the availability of portable loot!  If only the people had converted their resources into something more akin to personal virtue, distributed the collective gains more fairly so that it wasn't concentrated in any one big treasury, and also spent more time as individuals developing their martial virtues as well as their industrial ones.  Perhaps their governments, their neighbors, surrounding peoples whether friend or foe would  have all been more wary of attacking and robbing them in the first place, whether by force or the threat of it.

But the accumulation of concentrated forms of wealth, of LOOT really, has been a great pleasure for the upper classes.  It's their ticket to luxury, and the more convertible it is into various values, the better. Money doesn't just round out the rough edges of barter, but it allows a few hands to hold a lot of economic power. 

None of this undermines the utility of money for the wage slaves inside cities and surrounding areas, but it just says that this utility is a subset of a different sort of utility which people ought to be more familiar with by now, which is the concentration of total wealth in a society into the hands and coffers of the fewer and fewer.  But what is the meaning of all this except for collective, systemic robbery under the color of authority and law?

Looking back at the original opportunists of the earliest days of agrarian civilization, their city-based secret societies and clubs have always been and still are the de facto rulers of the "civilized world". They do have marvelous tricks up their sleeve for making sure that they and theirs are always the best paid, and their methods are no secret.  Unfair wealth distribution within a company, for example, is the prerogative of those who founded the company, no matter how little of the work they do and no matter how much of the profit would only  have been possible by no matter how many more willing and industrious workers.  As one fellow worker once said to me about the company boss "It ain't like that son of bitch can cut himself up into 4 of him and do these jobs himself".  This was in reference to how much money he kept from those of us who were working split shifts most days of the week, over 55 hours on average, and yet not getting overtime. There were some rules about split shifts which made overtime what was worked after 60 hours instead of 40, or something to that effect.

Loopholes in the system of work which passes for an "economy" are easily provided to those who give the proper kickbacks to those protection racketeers which are still with us since ancient times. It helps when the company is in fact controlled by people who are members of secret societies who have also infiltrated all sectors of government and the economy.  It makes it easier for these secret groups to make all conflicts, all agreements, all benefits accrue to their benefit, no matter how they originate or seem to publicly occur.

Look at the biggest fraud that is plainly visible to all in the world, to all in the land:  The Federal Reserve System.  First of all, it is a private 'bank' which is contracted with the government.  Basically, and it will never be explained to you this way, nor in a basic way as to what it actually does, this bank launders wealth from the public and provides a legalistic means of transferring said wealth from the many to the few.  It is a massive system of robbery.  The private holders of the bank, because it is a non-stock corporation, are the ones who profit directly from its activities.  The country of American people does not. Yet, it is this currency which is supposedly backed by the good faith and credit of the American people, and which is simply a necessary tool, an economic utility for its already extant and growing productive value!!!

It basically provides the money which is found in circulation in our economy.  But of course that money could be printed by our own Congress by empowering the Treasury Department, with no need to deal with an outside entity of any kind, let alone pay it interest (our economic growth and prosperity is the interest).  But why would the American economy need a loan to begin with?  This is an artificially inflated subject, pun intended. But in order to even begin to put this issue into a proper context, the one with which we have already been working, I must enlarge on the way that the already-described forces of corruption have co-evolved with economic advancements. This so that it can be better-understood how some of their mechanisms, however plainly visible to so many of us, yet persist as if part of the fundament!

Goods and services are of a certain value to people who need them, and likewise, these goods and services represent time, energy, materiel, and other factors which are of some value to the people who offer them to others (who already have them). When was the last time you saw a banker or "holder of money" do anything?  Exactly. But if you want to get a car, it must be built first.  All its parts must be fashioned before it can be put together.  All that metal must be refined from ore.  All that ore must be mined from the earth.  That takes a certain amount of work.  That takes a certain amount of time from each man involved, each work day, every month, in order to produce x number of cars. This effort is distributed all along the chain.

Without getting into the many details which are otherwise worthy of inspection, we'll stick to a rougher outline.  So all those workers make the car, and if you think about it, we are back to land ownership again, but now we have the question of who owns the equipment and tools needed to get that work done at the rate at which it is currently done.  And what of the material when it is brought out of the ground, refined, worked, all the way to the finished product?  It boils down to a system of laws which enable a few people to "own" the land, to "own" the structures built on it, and to "own" the tools and equipment which are used to produce things with human labor.

Without going back to the rules which were set up to create massive disparity of wealth and land entitlement among people since "feudal" times and before, we can just shorten all that by saying that it is owned by the protection racket and those loyal to it.  You don't get into that stratum of power, economic or political or of any other kind, unless you are loyal to or otherwise useful to that already long-established power elite.  That means that the "bases of production" are claimed for profit by a small group of people, and in such a way that if they decide, they can make the cost of living in all sectors of civil society high enough that when they are all added up, when all necessities for those who work are paid for (food, shelter, water, utilities, clothing, etc), that there is barely enough money paid to them for their work, barely enough to allow them to meet those necessities.

Now we know that people all want to have things, but only so many can have so much, because the way that money is paid, you can only buy what is available and it is predicted how much will be available because it is known how much is created and put on market, and it is known how much money has been paid to how many laborers out there.  This system is arranged so that some will always be paid only enough to have the basics, some can have more, and some more than that, but most will not have the nicest kinds of things available because those will be assigned a higher price, whether or not the production and "value added" is proportional to that price.  It has to do with making these higher end items into being rewards for being the loyal members of the upper classes in the control system. It is not truly about making the value of things reflected in their prices.

It serves to make disloyalty, and the punishment of demotion offered for it, tangibly unrewarding. So the possibility of falling into the situations reserved for the lower strata of society is itself the great persuader, and creates an atmosphere of natural-appearing systems of reward and punishment which seem logical on the outside appearances, and will be accepted as such by most without too much suspicion of any systematic corruption beyond some sort of opportunistic and occasional kind. This when in fact, and ironically, the systemic corruption is pervasive, cuts out the freelancers entirely except to be useful scapegoats or recruits, and is the structural norm of the arrangement! Further, even for the person who is "used to" his higher station, these persuasions can be revivified or made more vivid than they already are, so that they are felt as significantly punishing even after desensitization to upper crust comforts is acquired. This is partly because new kinds of rewards, and more severe kinds of punishments are also prepared for the higher strata of this control system, just as there are those special routes of persuasion for the more ambitious and talented, or just more ambitious and corrupt of the lower strata. But those are details that are comparatively esoteric, as the means of their execution and the elements involved are "unconventional" in a spectrum of ways, and also quite covert in their main operations (except for the surface, which is PR'd to seem nothing out of the ordinary, or else to fit into some other public script for a secret control-freak agenda). For those who would know more about it I will mention some resources in later essays, ones which will give some idea of how that "occult" system works by reference to artistic renderings or other forms of "unconventional" analysis.

Suffice it to say here that this system helps keep the protection racket going indefinitely.  By extending the basic mechanisms of fraud which were connived into being in the early days of agrarian development, and converting their forms into mechanisms which take advantage of all new technological achievements and scientific advances, every sector of society is turned into a little facet of a grandiose, "hidden in plain sight" banana republic.

So again, x number of desirable things are put on the market using y amount of human labor, involving z amounts of materiel, over a dynamic constant of Γ, which is a relatively fixed quantity and quality of capital. So a certain amount of food can be produced using the labor of a certain number of farmers, employing a certain amount of seed, fertilizer, water, soil, land area, and so on, while they will be operating with a certain amount and quality of tools such a plows, harvesters, irrigation systems, etc. x, y, z and Γ combine to form the basic structure of the economy's production base. This scales all the way down to the craftsman, artisan, farmer, hunter, trapper, blacksmith, smelter, etc. All of these capabilities can be fully transparent to the public but will not be ubiquitous nor arbitrarily distributed or manifested. Everyone might know who the blacksmith is and how he works and with what, but not everyone will work as a blacksmith, nor will he operate just anywhere because of the nature of his work giving off various forms of pollution, and requiring ready access to certain commodities, as well as being within range of customers who will typically need his services. All of these features are rather specialized compared to farming due to the different scale of technology needed to produce food versus what is needed to produce metal tools and parts.  The talent pool for the former is wider than the later, as is the skill set simpler, while the need for the product is also wider, and the nature of the product far more primitive.

There are limits to what can be accomplished given the number of people in society and their talents, the materiel available, and the technology and tools available for production. But because of the conditions of early living in warring and criminal-infested social environments, both internal and external to society, and because of a very early-developed and long-reinforced system of protection racketeering which was developed parasitically upon the productive capacity of early agriculture, later developments in all areas of technology and art, in all of culture as well, were subordinated to the control of the power elite which were already in established control.

Any of the agrarian societies which were less militarized and yet whose peasantry were more likely to be capable as fighters in battle were also more likely to put up stiff resistance to the corrupt actors in the upper strata of society and as well against those who were in the institutions of government which wielded the power of law and of the violence used to enforce it against the masses while protecting mainly those who were deemed to have special exemptions from that law. These often took the form of protracted defense against invading forces, even entire empires, or else the overthrowing of the ruling elite by rebellions from within their domains. But as these resistances and rebellions were often led by ambitious and power-hungry individuals and groups, and as the power structures of those they conquered were still extant in some form and had to be commandeered before being disposed, they often found themselves sucked into the power vacuum which they themselves created.  Examples of this are found in the history of the empires of the world, such as the Greek, Roman, Persian, Chinese, and the British Empires, both in terms of invading, being invaded, and also in the form of rebellions. These among many others (Turkish, Egyptian, Assyrian, Babylonian, Sumerian, Scythian, Frankish, and so on).

Therefore the corruption persisted because the conditions which evolved with those structures of power entailed an intricate web of adaptations between the class structures of society with the already extant structures of power which were fully entrenched in that society's midst.  The manner in which these corrupt systems first developed, outlined thematically in the essay on "famine" which was the second essay before this one, were continued in the stream of dynamic power struggles which ensued over time since their origin until later on when their systematic expansion entailed structural extensions and functional elaborations that were rooted in that original corrupt origin, and so continued to manifest the same depraved clinging to power and disregard for the proper virtues of a productive and decent person, and added to their criminality a penchant for treating their moral and ethical betters as their lessers, as well as of accruing to themselves all the trappings of excellence in both lifestyle and representation in the public which then garnered for them an unjust and overbearing inflation of importance, worth, esteem, honor, dignity, and all other reputable attributes.  

Where such window dressing were ever properly to be questioned, even against the grain of tradition, loud and fancy heralds, corrupt lackeys and turnkey minions in all strata of society, and the ignorant opinion of society in general, then there the disputant would find himself opposed by every form of danger to his well-being and safety. Whether being arbitrarily hated by peasants who feared being lured into a punishable plot, or else just found to be an outlaw because of their views, such people rarely piped up in any form which could be traced to them directly or which could be incontrovertibly proven to be an action of explicit defiance.

So naturally, by the time metal working improved society into the iron age, it was already co-opted into the arts of war, and in the reinforcement of the positions of entrenched power. Chemistry and its technological advantages were also immediately reigned in, as was physics, biology, and psychology and all their derivative technologies.  This tight control of the oligarchical powers over everything productive doers and thinkers were busy creating and inventing was already the norm, and it continued without letup ever since until today.

So since the need to control the bases of production was already understood by those who held power and wished to maintain it forever, they found ways to advance their societies up to a point, but to simultaneously limit that advancement so that it could not be readily used against them.  From keeping serfs as farmer-slaves, to driving people to work in factories so as to grind them up as fodder there, to marching the strong and brave, the wise and clever out into battle so they can be used up against neighboring powers plotting this same evil scheme against them and their own populations, these powerful parasites on top of human advancement steadily drained the public's capacity to do anything outside the limits of a politico-economic structure that was already designed to maximally repress the public into a state of perpetual indentured servitude.

All manner of propaganda, from church and state, to the well-controlled patsies of academia, were blasted at the populace for centuries on end, propaganda which made dying for the power elite, and in any way serving and flattering them, the highest honor which a person could receive!  All the while those who were advanced in that sort of "social cult of the ennobled bully" could only have gotten their positions by proving their loyalty to it, sometimes by being involved in it directly, by being brainwashed into it through "education" or "good breeding", submitting to it and accepting the petty bribes of honor or special pay given for serving well in various capacities in the political and civil bureaucracy, the military, the police forces, the guilds and professions, and so forth. Likewise, there was no way to advance in any career except by being promoted under the watchful eye of the secret society of thugs, who by this point had a dual aspect: the public and reputable image, and the private and secretly foul, covert substance.  Basically the 'front' was kept propped up by the well-trained public, while the back was the real executor and beneficiary of the aggregate conduct which took place in the publicized domain of this social structure.

In that the cult of the thug had been long-entrenched and had acquired much prestige over the brow beaten and thoroughly subjected and abused masses, and in that all the language and tools of the apparent world of  human affairs was already polarized and controlled in their favor and dictated wherever possible to be in their interests, it was always easy to keep track of any new talent that would threaten to radically free up human time and resources in such a way as might weaken the powerful chains wrapped around the people, or which might in any way cause them to awaken to their absurdly delimited status as free and moral beings.  They had been chained, and were not free, they were demoralized, and not expressive of their true nature. They were abused, shackled and twisted versions of people, and would be kept that way.

So any Newton, any Maxwell, and for that matter any Tesla would one way or another be brought under wraps, either willingly or unwillingly. All that any such minds could develop would be confiscated, and only what is permitted to the public would be released, the rest guarded over by elite societies whose already ancient task was to acquire all knowledge and hoard it.  We by now could easily spot all the usual culprits and better understand the historical events which are partly owing to their nefarious exploits.

So if these aspects of technological development, their origination, development, application and dissemination, could all be strictly controlled by the oligarchs, and yet if this could be properly disguised or camouflaged in other ways, then naturally what people understood to be "proper working conditions" could be much more easily controlled as well. There are vast areas where you already cannot go without being noticed, supervised, and quite likely obstructed and derailed, up to the point of being put to some unsavory end, and this has to do with the matters of fact and logically developed theory about what exists and how it works in nature! And this creates gaps in the formation of the professions which grow in light of developments in those areas as they progress and are brought to public use. So those professions are developed under the pressure of these enforced "lacunae" in what is allowed for the public to know and use, and what is not.  And it is to be assured that intellect and a few other virtues will not be sufficient, in most cases, to hearten a member of any of these professions to find the courage to take on all the rest of their profession so as to overcome some dastardly cover up of what should be known scientific fact, of what should be publicly available technology. They prefer to keep the rewards of their social stratum and avoid the penalties.  Besides, the majority of these cretins are just clever thugs themselves, happy to be the brains which backs the brawn. Cowards whose motto would be "can't beat 'em, so join 'em". The few who were exceptions to this rule are the ones who have proved it, and their fates are a matter of public, historical record.

So aside from all the sophistry that the professional class, the "intelligentsia", have produced, which allows the oligarchic power elite to thrive on the backs of the public, there is also the matter of the steady pressure to keep a roof over one's head, keep one's stomach fed, and seek medical assistance for diseases and injuries which the elite are happy to have around for the purpose of keeping their bloated army of professional toadies well-supplied with "something to do", and so as to give themselves outlets of moral and ethical catharsis to stabilize the massive infrastructure of hypocrisy that needs such a public counterbalance for both practical and psychological reasons.

These keep the lower classes concentrated on their bodies, and the middle classes mentally absorbed in the professional concern with the needs of those bodies, and little else. The system is kept broken in the ways that stabilize the parasitic entrenchment of the power elite, and they are only improved when it is unavoidable to maintain that same stability, especially when it makes them look good. When this is all not enough they can engineer failures which are custom designed to give them the maximum benefit in their efforts at maintaining and improving their power by means of their already prepared "solutions". That's the famous "problem-reaction-solution" methodology of control by the corrupt, morally and spiritually worthless despotic powers.  But that is just a more dynamic engineering feature of an already evil, collective, and almost inconceivably stupendous "foot binding" practice which they've already long perfected upon the dignity and respectability of the common human being, and which they tailored to any of his less common manifestations so as to either corrupt, destroy, or otherwise neutralize any of his abilities and traits which might go against the grain of the agenda of the by now sheerly demonic class of despots.

It is in this context that the meanings of "wealth" and "poverty" must be understood, or else we are liable to be talking to no purpose, since this context of already steady-state corruption is the basis in which norms are stabilized, and this includes norms of experience in which we develop the capacity to feel, to think, to develop capacities to act and express, and so in the end it is the situation which will be found to spare no effort to destroy any of these human developments whenever and wherever they attempt to breech beyond the assigned limits of understanding and judgment, which limits have been fixed upon people who are not destined, invited, or willing to become one of the parts of this gigantic machine of deceptively enhanced coercion. By this system, the wise are made to appear foolish, and the foolish wise; the noble are made to appear wicked and petty, and the base and wretched are elevated into admirals of cultural and other distinctions.  That is why the industrious break their backs and barely have shelter and food, barely have health, endure all manner of poisoning and abuse in their sometimes willful but always coerced ignorance, and breed yet more offspring into this condition. And that is why the worthless and evil command society instead of the truly great and good.

So what of the "jobs" and the "money" and the "goods and services" if they are all confined into this system of corruption?  What of the "titles", "merits", "distinctions"?  What of the "knowledge", the "art", the "recreation"?  What of the "family"? All of this is embedded in this anciently crafted and still enduring mockery of a real society.  All that is excellent or mediocre, all that is exceptional or common, all that is desirable to be sought or relegated to refuse, all this is to be understood as a sideshow which exists inside a structure of manipulation and coercion, deception and debasement which ensures that all apparent norms, however reasonably similar to what might have "grown in the wild in some other world", one without corruption such as it is here, will be norms which are at root not genuinely expressed forms of the ideals they pretend to be approximate realizations made manifest. They are not practical expressions of any ideals, they are not natural exhibitions of undeformed human character, and corruption is not the exception, but is rather the rule.

Wherever the still-extant forces of nature and virtuous Spirit undeformed might be operative, they are allowed to manifest so long as they do not fundamentally upset the status quo of the regime of corrupt power that I have explained exists. That serves as excellent propaganda in every conceivable way, and is the "hostage" end of the Stockholm Syndrome condition within which the controlling power mongers are to be understood as the "captor" end.  Likewise, the the productive power that they represent is always "on tap", and this is said by some to be far beyond the spectrum of mere physical or cultural forms of energy in its utility for the vampiric parasites who have society in their pale and dead clutches. And besides all this, what would they have to gain if they released their victims?  Nothing.  They are a new breed of monster which is long-dependent upon the evils they now do, and they must surely have resigned any notion of being forgiven in this world or any other, by man or by God. They have only to persist at their seemingly unbounded victory over their victims. 

So the complex developments in science which have occurred since the Enlightenment have been kept for the most part secret, and are in the service of the controllers. Perfecting this layer of control, whilst keeping it as hidden as possible, in other words perfecting the illusion of normality while maximizing the extraction of energy and utility from the masses of the enslaved, has long been their highest art and science, and the aim to which all of their philosophy and religion have directed them. They are working on ways to take this to new levels of debasement, debauchery, and outlandishness, and every human being on the planet has been their guinea pig.  Why not?  They've already been their livestock, their cannon fodder, their personal chattel, their sacrificial victims, their playthings, their minions and servants, their underlings in every way. To become throwaway guinea pigs is just like being taken to the next level of utility, like becoming the most useful thing human beings can become under the modern, more scientific regime of their already sadistic masters. It is nothing more than the most efficient extension of all the previous abuses that have been developed to date, brought up to date. YOU are the commodity which has been made of the most service possible, now by becoming the test market for all the newest waves of manipulation and coercion which will be inflicted upon you, which are all nothing more than the logical successors to what has gone before since ancient times until now!  

The old forms were more blatant, more crude, and much more inefficient and difficult to obtain and sustain. THOSE where the days when man should have fought tooth and nail, with every last drop of blood and every last puff of breath, dying rather than breeding in order to prevent this sort of evil from proceeding and progressing.  Instead, he by and large sold out, and we've all inherited this last few pages in the last chapter of the book of horror stories which have ensued since. Now the final touches are prepared and the canvass is firmly steadied beyond any hope of being upset by any accidental forces short of something totally catastrophic. But these ramifications of the condition of man must be discussed in later essays. We are still here discussing the basic facets of his enslavement and abuse, and this in a way which firmly demonstrates his functional incapacity for freedom of will except insofar as he is willing to be corrupted, and in any event only insofar as his utility is sought by those "powers that be" who elect to use him.  And the illusion of freedom, either as a willing and witting evil tool, or as a morally bereft and debasedly ignorant serf, is certainly not "freedom" as properly understood, not if even the most basic stories and examples of what man's best and highest character and achievements can be are understood as being even remotely achievable.

So since this essay was mainly a context for the continuing discussion, the meat of the topic of the policy of poverty will be explored in more detail in part two of this essay.

The Flesh-Prison vs. The Moral Will - The Policy of Disease

For millenia til now bejewelled thugs have been busy making sure that it is not safe to live freely outside of their "protection", and have likewise commandeered all improvements to ways of survival which have been developed by people since the metal plow.  All this has taken place from within a base of their corrupt operations which is called "the city", which is nothing more than an ideal place where they can concentrate the utility of their slaves and ensure for themselves many places to hide their evil activities which they like to do in cellars and basements while pretending to suspect the neighborhood apothecary of witchcraft. It also happens to offer some increase in the utility of slaves' access to one another's services, if they can afford them with the scraps they are allowed for discretionary spending on top of their subsistence wages (at best).

The system of civil slavery has its public structure of reward and punishment, which the slave takes for granted as his due.  As already discussed in the previous essay, there are the more debased echelons of these publicly fronted but secretly demonic grottoes of criminal conspiracy, and they are in fact the true controllers of all that takes place in the city-state and modern nation-state as a whole. Their mafia-structure of control goes down into the roots of all that simpletons with their holy books think is their small town innocence, and it begins doing its damage right at conception of the child, throughout his term, birth, childhood, all the way up to his fulfilling the role which is determined for him on an invisible tag which is located on the human equivalent of a pig's ear, his "name" as registered by these chattel hoarders.  In modern times this is augmented by social security numbers, and who knows what else which helps them categorize and identify an individual and his place in their agenda, whether or not this will ever be publicly known.

These filthy crypto-oligarchs are in fact the thuggish "powers that be", and surely even they can't believe their obnoxious success over the mainstream chattel of today!  Perhaps this is part of why they need all these idiotic and evil rituals and programmatic social constraints on the public culture of society and the personal epistemology of individuals, because assurance of such grandiose and surreal control over others becomes a commodity in and of itself.  It must make them reel in delirium at times, and they must find more advanced ways of pinching themselves so that it "sinks in" that they have managed to dupe almost everyone around them into becoming human livestock.

Well, regardless of its no-doubt psychologically useful effects for these utterly useless parasites, these systems of scrambling people up into the desired arrangements of time and space that these leeches desire is essential for preventing them from reaching any form of their full potential. That sure is what we see going on in any stockyards, and in any military camp, and also in any city.  It is not merely that "order good, chaos bad", for in fact not all order is good anyway, nor is all "chaos" actually that "bad".  But some order is good, and is to be instituted where possible and reasonable according to all who have a proper say in that matter. It's just that when one's needs are mainly satisfied through fraud and robbery that we have to understand this concept of "ordering people around" a bit differently.

They have their public forms of control, within which the livestock are allowed to believe they play an active and powerful role.  Sometimes, however much it is to be avoided and however much it is exaggerated so as to give the cattle cautionary tales about themselves, they actually do get a snout full of power!  Sometimes to keep a stronger order, one must allow for a bit of controlled chaos...

But that aside, there is the more long term, strategic aspect of control which is implied by these strictures but not revealed in their appearances directly, that of a secret ordering of people, as arranged according to their utility for the continuity of the agendas of those who have ordained themselves gods over the rest of us. I'm talking about the shadow side of the social hierarchy. The one that is hidden behind the one that you see, that is the shadow side.  In these ranks there is a different categorization of all labels and all information pertaining to the "market side" of all that you see, the public side.

People are recruited according to their proclivities for debasement and corruption, and after this whether or not they have actual talents for anything useful.  Otherwise, if their talents are pronounced, they are then examined for weaknesses lending to moral debasement and corruption.  If none are found, they are put in positions appropriate for their utility and in accordance with their amenability to control in those stations. As to the prior-mentioned crud which is easily debased but perhaps lacks any useful talent, they can always be useful as many different kinds of fodder. In fact, that is the status quo of human utility in this system of reckoning.

For those who "rise" in that shadow system of advancement, they are in fact selling their souls (if any) at each step of their "progress". Some are selling it just by being talented professionals who look the other way if it is anything outside the boundaries of their vocation and chosen lifestyle. They might even pepper their experience with an active sense of community awareness and involvement in "worthy causes", but they don't in fact ever come near broaching the utterly depraved context in which all their hollow antics are taking place, hence the utter surreality of their condition. They too will have to occasionally flip a light switch to see if they are dreaming, because if they ever run into something which indicates the actual world in which they live, they'll realize that they can't actually be sure that what they called their conscious mind was anything more than a robotic processor of prepackaged, absurd delusions (and they'd be right).

But to avoid that, there are many buffers in the minds of such people, and the creation of these buffers entails the partly chosen, partly enforced condition of their servitude carried on in culpable ignorance. Psychology loves to talk about the many modes of cognitive bias which people have as though these were just natural, given to us "off the shelf" just by being born human beings. It turns out that they are the side effects of "repression and neurosis" that some post-structuralist philosophers are often heard bantering about, conditions which represent the coercion of the sadistic freaks of occult power, and the submission to that coercion by the rather petty and ubiquitous "sheeple" of every walk and description.

Is it any wonder such people casually allow themselves to be poisoned systematically by their oppressors? It is well-known that heavy metals and other filth are found in the public water supply, and that people aren't literally up in arms about that is a sure sign of something wrong in the noggin right there. But they also don't give two shakes of a rat's behind about all the poison which is added to the water supply just as if people were no better than prisoners in a gulag. Various forms of FLUORIDE compounds are added to your water. If you are reading this, you probably already know the evil poison that this is when it gets into your blood stream.  Perhaps you also know how it acts to assist the crossing of the blood-brain barrier of ALUMINUM, which is also a common metal offered to the stupid masses for their use in cooking and eating, storing of beverages, as an "anti-caking agent" for various baking goods and salt (sodium silico-aluminate, anyone?), or else in nano-form as some sort of aerosol being sprayed into your breathing air day in and day out for decades now, which most people have utterly ignored as well.

Alzheimer's syndrome and calcification of the brain aside, don't forget about the mercury that is commonly in anything which contains corn syrup (or whatever the hell else they are renaming it as now). That's in almost everything eaten and drunk that you can find on a grocery store shelf anywhere.  Let's leave all the other filth aside for now, but give honorable mention to: food coloring, "artificial flavors" and the now trendy "natural flavors", various "preservatives" and "emulsifiers" and other ingredients which are rationalized into packaged food so that it can have a certain look, texture, or an almost infinite shelf-life, but really so that such ingredients can get into your body and mix "synergistically" with all the other filthy poison that it has been allowed to absorb.

Do we really need to belabor topics such as genetically modified organisms, artificial sweeteners like aspartame, and "allowable amounts" of animal and insect filth? Do we need to speculate as to the motives of the FDA and their accomplices in the pharmaceutical industry who insist that we should "cut back" on vitamins, and that perhaps they should be treated as dangerous drugs?  Try to keep in mind that far more people are damaged by regular medical procedures and medicines, including treatments for cancer and other diseases which are partly due to the filth being put into people's air, water and food, and from vaccines, than will ever in a million years result from VITAMINS!  Yet they are arming themselves with machine guns, heavy pistols, armored vests and vehicles, and hollow point ammunition just in case they have to put you under arrest for that stash of vitamins in your pantry.

What about the disgusting way that such diseases have been allowed to persist in spite of treatments being found with both natural herbal medicine, modern chemical compounds, and advanced technological inventions which were developed over a century ago, and some of which had existed long before?  Why were they taken out of the public's consciousness by being banned, kept under wraps, or otherwise suppressed?  Was it so that an industry of disease could be fostered which would grow in scale as people continued to grow in health and longevity, in just the same way that many methods of creating artificial scarcity of food ensure that people's hunger and starvation will continue even as productivity of agriculture and commerce improve and grow?  Is it for the same sort of control over people which is sought to be achieved in a way that makes them recover from a lack rather than to operate at a surplus, to say nothing of being able to operate at their full potential?

Is it to bloat bureaucracies which then must oversee such empires of entropy in the form of malnutrition, disease, and and ill-health in general, and this in the same way that protection rackets grew over people's need to defend their abundance of food and other civil advancements in technology and science? Let's just say that in each case the god-damned wolf is guarding the god-damned hen house.

From the inventions of men like Royal Raymond Rife, to the development of silver tetraoxide, to the powerful medicinal properties of cannabis indica and sativa, as well as many other plants and fungi, and many others besides, whatever might actually cure a disease has been kept from the public. And would you like to know the irony of this?  Such things have been suppressed and otherwise attacked by people in the medical profession, some of whom are outstanding members of the medical community and who are on boards of medical professionalism and other professional medical associations. Rather than cure disease, they want to cut, burn, irradiate and otherwise medically torture your diseased body. Seems there's more kinds of thugs than there used to be!  These wear white coats and get called "doctor" like a title of royalty, and think themselves some pretty fine and upstanding people overall. But in this context, well, "just look at them"...

If one "follows the money", one may as well "follow the blood" and "follow the death". These are the methods of investigation that will show you who is behind the big business of ill-health, disease, malnutrition, and other forms of human mutilation which come from poisoning people's food, water, and the very air that they breathe.  You'll be able to connect the dots between the associations of interested parties who would lose their jobs or prestige or other fine rewards if people were freed from any "need" of their services by such advancements in medicine and technology which would fairly put them out of business just like the plow put the poking stick out of business, or the tractor put the ox-drawn plow out of business, and so on!  Just look at these scum... look at the thugs they sent to the laboratories and offices and homes of inventors like the brilliant Royal Raymond Rife, or the way they used all levers of power at their disposal to shut down the availability of a plant which had always been available and used for medicine world-wide before their sudden hatred of it.

If you can't be well-fed from your own work upon your own land, or by trading with anyone who can, then that alone will take enough of your time and energy away from you so as to put you in dire straights as it is. But when you are robbed of the simple goodness of decent food and nutrition even though it is already abundant in that they poison it, or else call it a poison when it is bodily essential for health... I think it is clear to anyone with a reasonable mind that one's Spiritual Dignity and one's simply human dignity are being assaulted with the full-on intention of disabling it completely. If your body and mind are being starved, poisoned, malnourished, diseased, and otherwise maligned in these egregious ways then how can it be said that you are being unhindered in your pursuit of life? How can it be said that you are allowed to use your mind to its fullest potential so as to make the best cognitive and moral decisions that you can in your life? It can't even be said with any rational certainty that you are being allowed a significant fraction of that potential under these conditions.

And these conditions do prevail over most, and they are mostly utterly oblivious to them.  Can it be said that this is not in part due to the demoralizing effects of these abuses on their bodies and minds, directly as well as through the results such effects obtain in their living conditions and in the reduction of the quality and quantity of time they'd have for getting by in life to say nothing of getting a grasp of all that is being done to them? No, it can't.  That said, how can it be reasonably mewled that they have not "done anything about it" in a way that morally condemns them without also condemning several orders of magnitude more those who are inflicting these harms upon them from positions of advantage?

This evidence is demonstrated especially in the modern era, and is far fresher as the crime scene is far more recent, such that one can still hear the screams of the victims and smell the stink of their blood. You can start as recently as fifty years ago and dredge up a huge crop of evil acts done upon you by corporations in collusion with corrupt governmental entities.  Behind all these forces it is guaranteed one will find connections between them and the old powers of the world, and the structures of their influence can be demonstrated to run along all branches of human society, including in the realms of academia and religion. The gun is still smoking in their hands in a way that is undeniable! Whether they are burning food, poisoning it, or injecting poison right into your child's body, they are definitely doing a heinous wrong to you and yours, and they are definitely doing this in a sustained and systemic manner with far-reaching implications for all facets of your physical and spiritual life, all toward their own evil ends, and all in a way that utterly undercuts any fanciful notion that such evils are sporadic or merely occasional, and also in a way that obliterates any silly fantasy that evil exists in our world so as to give people some glorious opportunity to exercise free will!  It is quite the contrary.

One cannot properly exercise one's free will in this world at all, and it is a world where one is damned by the entire systematic structure of society and its maniacal will to deform all its members toward the objectives of control which belong to psychopathic persons who may as well be called demons! Moreover, such a system actively suppresses the proper use of a free and good will by ensuring that it cannot operate in body that is even properly fed and otherwise taken care of, so how can the mind in connection with that body be operating properly as well? Further, these hideous crimes are all inflicted upon the masses in such a way, and as part of such a system of cultural illusion reinforced by propaganda and other technologies of control that people under such influences cannot properly be said to even be conscious in a lucid, intelligent way that would allow them to properly understand what is being done to them.  How else can it be done to them so blatantly and severely and they not be doing something about it?

But if these rather obvious and well-documented forms of abuse of the moral, cognitive, and other potentials of the human being are not enough to convince that humans have been stripped of any proper "free will", then there is plenty more to add to the pile. Humanity is looking rather emaciated, jaundiced and perhaps dizzy from all the abuse so far. These are symptoms of bodily detriment that are often comorbid with another form of "dis-ease" which is the situational and psychobiological torment of being in poverty! Let's look at that plague the next.

The Flesh-Prison vs. The Moral Will - The Policy of Famine

History shows us one common thread throughout the world which links all developments of science and technology, all arts and crafts, all cultural activity and all other political and economic activity into one theme woven through all events. That is the development of agriculture and the forces of parasitism which developed in association with it.

The capacity to obtain food from the ground, from the land itself, from the plants and their parts and byproducts, all which naturally occur and recur, was already something had by people everywhere. It was practiced since prehistoric times, and one example is the so-called "forest garden". Nomadic peoples knew how to forage and gather wherever they went, and surely those who survived best were amply able at such activities to supplement their hunting.

This skill, the getting of food from natural sources found already in existence in the form of plants and animals, was improved to such a degree that the more primitive, and less mobile villages of the past were left behind by more advanced food gatherers. These groups could bring their livestock with them, and could care for them well on the go, and that was often better for the matter because of the need to change grazing pastures. If arable land were available they might stay in it for an entire generation or several before moving on.  Their flexibility made them adaptable to circumstances of all sorts. It required intelligence and industry, as well as courage to get out of the rut of the primitive village and proceed in this manner and also to survive well at it.

But the more advanced form of the village developed as certain areas developed their agricultural techniques into more sustainable practices, able to get larger yields out of smaller areas.  They improved their tools and thereby reduced the amount of work needed for the same yield.  Because of this the value of their land increased for them, and for others who were without it but who desired its produce. Possessiveness of land intensified, people were more definite about their boundaries than ever before, wanting to move well beyond some foggy notion of ownership through use, and into something more permanent. These groups would gain ascendancy over the nomadic groups, who would sometimes merge with them and be assimilated into their lifestyles. As the history which ensued demonstrates, however, this merging would only temporarily infuse such societies with better virtues, and mostly would only drag them down into a worse corruption, one not too different from their own and which was often worse than that of their new rulers.

Basically, the improvements in agriculture, the improvements in fixed-site living over long periods of time, attracted corruption from within and from without.

This would be a "natural" tendency.  Already at this time there were different classes of people who had evolved. Those who had been productive on their land would be sought for their produce, and would prefer to give it to those who had something in return to offer. Because of the failure of some to be as productive as others, there were probably many economic incompatabilities between these types of people though they lived in the same tribes.  Over time, protection rackets built up which ensured themselves some food while giving useful vent to their own thuggish skills.  

These were the types who were naturally found and recruited for and among the warrior types of the village, the "village heroes" and their like, who had perhaps even won their merit, earned it, in battle against neighboring tribes who coveted the village's possessions, and perhaps they also put down the local bully when necessary. These police-militia types of people would form cliques, and they would definitely bargain for their own gain with the locals, using their own manner of "gunboat diplomacy" so that the locals would find it better to feed them and take care of them than to do otherwise, even in times of peace.

Basically, these individuals would start off being more virtuous in their ways, but with time would sulk into the arrogance of entitlement and corruption.  These types represent the common form of the dictator who will not put down his power after the emergency is settled. This form of corruption has been with mankind since the beginning of his tribal arrangements, and it has fed upon his productivity whether or not it produced any form of adequate return in the way of protection and defense of the peace.

But of course as was said, some virtue was involved at the beginning, often really just a resort to a lesser evil, for the sake of a greater good which perhaps could not be otherwise obtained at that time. In the earlier days of smaller communities, with closer living conditions and blood ties, this would be more understandable as being less corrupt and tending to less corruptibility than in later times with looser blood ties between classes and professions, larger areas of management, more intensive concerns about permanent property (especially land), and increasing intensity of technological improvements. These improvements not only made society more productive but also made those who would reap rewards from that productivity more efficient at weighing in with their ever-simple and ever-crude brutality.  And with more structurally ensconced forms of property came similar entrenchments in the entitlements to the power to give protection to these properties.

It was mainly the most successful colluding families which became most powerful over the course of this time, and ever since until today.  They had been the more cunning of the productive members of society, more like those who were busy doing whatever it took to make their living without actually doing anything productive (protecting others while they did work...), and they promoted themselves to positions of prominence in society by all manner of effort of display and influence bartering.  These more powerful families were running a racket so that they could influence the police-militias and have the best end of the protection bargain in all events, and also to use it as muscle against other families when it was felt to be necessary or expeditious for their own gain. They were more than likely of the mindset that if they didn't do it first, someone else would be doing it to them. Called "politics" as a euphemism, it is really nothing but mafias ruling over the weaker, less brutal populace, who happen either to be more productive by talent and resources, and/or assigned that role as it became more and more possible to transfer the techniques and technology, the wealth and the property, to more obedient and agreeable hands over time. The less productive, by hook and crook, enslaved the more productive.

Those who were the most prominent in these groups of families who had both productive power and the power of the sword felt themselves automatically deserving of whatever they had and therefore deserving of any rights to maintain and promote what they had so that it would endure.  They'd justify their actions any way which felt right and sounded good. They had illustrious family histories (full of bloated and distorted accounts of their pasts), and they had the de facto power that they presumed everyone else wanted, so why shouldn't they work as hard to keep it and promote it as anyone else presumably would in their shoes?

They were also by default responsible for actually protecting their domains, and this was a ready, if probably more often than not disagreeable excuse for their positions of power. After all, they can do what they want in their domains as long as it isn't too egregious and as long as there is peace and stability for the most part. But if they fail to maintain their power against less-forgiving, and more ambitious enemies from outside their domains, then they'd be toast.

Many intrigues developed over these sorts of struggle for, with, and against power. The history of empires which grew around such intrigues between these groups of people is replete with every kind of backstabbing, double-dealing, influence peddling, manipulation, intimidation, outright criminality and other abuses of power, that it is really odd that history is studied in any other way than in the explicit study of these intrigues.  Any reading of any history of any empire or civilization anywhere in the world demonstrates that these conflicts and confluences between powers, between those who produce and those who command, those who innovate and those who exploit, and all those who eke out some existence in the midst of all this, is basically the key to going from one event to the next. The best way to memorize events to be recapitulated for any history test is to keep track of the motives and countermotives of such events between these sorts of competing groups.

From the beginning until the modern age, just having food was a major focal point of contention between people because that was a source of security and abundance which enabled those who wanted to be made more successful at their efforts at power over others.  This opportunity was not lost, and was strengthened over time, both by the nature of the have-nots within a society and by the nature of those similar have-nots who already were ejected from, or commanded over neighboring societies.  The use of force and the threat of its use were the primary parasitic forces which attached themselves to the development of man's most basic and wonderful early achievement, his capacity to feed himself with less effort so that his necessities could be increasingly well-managed and require less and less of his time, giving him more and more free time to either continue this upward spiral of improvement, to get further ahead (as with food storage methods and technologies, for example) or else to enjoy life more rather than just avoid starving as a way of life. This is what the productive had, this opportunity, and this is what the unproductive and unvirtuous had not. 

Therefore, because these cretins took what they had not, largely without giving an equal or even close-to-equal value in return, these areas of possible improvement were made almost impossible by the parasitic forces of the greedy, the envious, the lazy, the angry and spiteful, the vile, who all banded together, within each society, and worked to ensure themselves gain at the expense of others, offering nothing in return except for a modification of their violence which promised (and often failed) to protect their societies from the similar filth which was accumulating in nearby societies and which represented (most of the time) the worse evil.  This is the organized brigandry which developed hand-in-hand with agricultural development so as to ensure that all future developments which that basic improvement enabled would be funneled into their control, and would rotate around their foolish and evil exploits both in that land and beyond it. 

These colossal creeps have developed quite an extravagant tapestry of myths about who they are and what they represent, and the entire history of the world since these "feudal" origins of these groups has been a hellish story of their enslavement of their own and other populations.  In rare cases it has been about an occasionally more honorable group defending itself from the depredation of a less honorable one, but mostly these are circumstances which are so rare as to be oddities in history. History is the story of people trying to find ways to meet the necessities of life all the while they are carrying giant parasites on their backs who sometimes snatch up one of their human chattel and eat him.

Rather than I cite numerous books where this is reported by the peoples of each of these civilizations themselves, wherein these histories are even sometimes vaingloriously elaborated upon by the perpetrators as a feather in the helm on their family crests, why don't you, the reader, dig in yourself?  I can guarantee you what you will find in the history of the world, it will be exactly what I've described in outline here.

One thing I will emphasize once more, however, is that these entrepreneurs of self-aggrandizement through cunning force have had a heavy hand even in what history they've carelessly allowed to be printed about them and their actions down through the ages.  You'll find that the tone is such that it presents blatant evil as if it were a Grimm's fairy tale, nothing to be flinched at... These historians themselves describe events mainly in outline, confident that the details of their sources will simply bear out their general statements of matters. They often read like a security guard's report of what happened one evening, but this report is expected to cover the significant events of a period of decades at a time.  Quite honestly, we don't have time to dig through all of that generality, dig then through the details of the primary sources (which are themselves steps removed from the actual facts), not most of us. Do so at  your own discretion. But cursory readings of the general works of history for any civilization will bear out what I've said, and it has been my own experience.

The point to take away from all this is that this is the backbone of the present day, this history of a parasitic choke hold upon human productivity and ingenuity which has been held upon it by a gang of recently fancy pants thugs. The details get only more voluminous since the developments in recording history, and the art of doing historical accounts, have both grown and developed in step with other advancements in technology and science which have led to our current levels of technology and communication flow in just a couple of hundred years. Just as voluminous has been activities which are barely abstracted into such reports, and many times more robust in their evil details than either can be accounted for in any history book or factual research due to the gap between an event and its report, or else on top of that because of the filtering process which they inflict upon any efforts to report what they do concerning the events of corruption which I have described . 

Just look at the censoring of historians throughout the ages, but moreover just look at the way public opinion about current events is regulated by a yellow-bellied media, backed up and backed down by the same corrupt forces that history has already reported in similar accounts of their nefarious bullying, deceitful control over speech and conduct in public. Start from the present and work back by looking at the so-called "1%". That alone will garner you a more fruitful research into the meaningful content that history might be able to supply to your efforts, which will still be akin to dredging the Nile in terms of what you'll have to push out of your way so that you can get your focus on the most significant delineations of fact, which are like a string of pearls found at the bottom of all that sediment, which should be called "Royal Bullshit", because that's what most of history and its dissemination is.

So if I had my druthers and my time, and if I had been allowed to go about my work unhindered, I would do every detail of the work myself.  But as it is now, in order to make up for lost time due to all the hindrances to Truth which are forced down everyone's throats continually, and due to many other inequities which are part of the nature of these corrupt systems in which we still live now, and in order to come up with the complete and damning folio of all the evidence in detail, I would only need a few good historians, archeologists and anthropologists to work with, and all the requisite tools and access to other resources which are appropriate to such research.  Basically, I'd tell them the evidence to look for in all the accounts, first concerning the contents of the reported histories, second concerning the documents of history themselves. They'd seek out every instance of archaeological significance, every historical record, where there was evidence of the development of some innovation in agriculture.  There they would find in close proximity the phases of violence from criminals both within and without, then "solved" by the creation of more civil authority.  Behind all such authority, at first and also more and more through time, they'd find the concentration of power into fewer hands and among fewer families, and a concurrent corruption of the industry which had sprung up around the innovations to which all these developments are tied. Finally, this would be matured into a oligarchical state, low on innovation, high on taxes and misery, low in health and frequent in disease, ruled over by pampered mediocrities who largely inherited what they had from their slightly less untalented forbears. This then is either taken over by a larger or more vicious, or perhaps more virtuous (less corrupt, and hence more innovative and motivated) state.

This is the history of the entire feudal world, from Europe through the Middle East to Asia, as well as into the Americas before colonial times. This theme is unchanging and it differs only in the superficial details. I guarantee you that their reports will prove the guilt of those "authorities" who have since ancient times ruled by the fiat of their arrogant violence and deceptive cunning rather than any true and ostensible virtue.  In that all this is the case, in that innovation is immediately seized upon and relentlessly exploited, and in that those who are its proper beneficiaries are ground into dust under the pampered feet of their supposed betters, and in that all this is repeatedly done everywhere authority has been found to pretend to exist in human form, and in that all this has occurred blatantly and with aggravation, so that to this day people struggle to eat properly the right amount and right kind of food even in supposedly wonderful 1st world countries, and in that all that is produced is made with filthy chemical additives, various intentional poisons, and all sorts of modifications which are malignant to the human body and mind, and in that all this horrible abuse strips at people's time and energy, mental and physical health, and all in such a way as to definitely deprive them of their time's quantity and quality, its amount and value, it is fairly leveled at the oligarchs that they have raped and pillaged mankind's dignity and robbed it of its freedom of will to act as proper human beings.  That this has happened in direct and constant proportion to the rate at which technological progress has leapt and bounded, this only adds to the aggravated and intentional malfeasance of all this criminal abuse. That this has been part of well-articulated plans to do precisely this in order to maintain a masterful control of people in the "lower classes" by those who deem themselves the "higher classes" is also a matter of record.  That all these modern institutions of authority receive their power and backing from their continuous connection with these older institutions of unhallowed corruption disguised as God's Will on Earth, that is easily demonstrated by "following the money" and looking at all the developments I've outlined in this essay in their modern forms. That on top of all this these "rulers over you" pretend that they are your benefactors and improvers, this just boggles the mind as to the steep height of arrogance required to mock all decency and reality with these empty pretenses to virtue which put the hypocrisy of devils to shame.

Because the problems with society seem firmly rooted in the ball and chain which is forcefully attached to its stomach, it is no surprise that many new problems have emerged which have to do with the health of the rest of its body. In the next essay I will address the matter of medicine and nutrition as sciences and as practices, and how there is evidence in every area of these endeavors which spell out that the same wicked corruption has attached itself to these arts and sciences which has already dug in deeply with regard to people's ability feed themselves (which they perhaps did much better not long ago than they do now).

Considering Free Will: Metaphysical Interlude II

The moral dimension of a mind concerns qualities which are understood to be the metaphysical fons honorum of that mind's very existence.  In this dimension of Being, both the value of the Being's existence, as manifested in its experiences and their aspects, and the power of the Being to exist are unified as one virtue. Incidentally, a Being Proper of such a level of virtue which enables that being to be proper guide to developmental existence of other Beings may be thought of as a moral authority by them, and may be called the "higher aspect" of those Beings in regards to the virtue(s) which it exemplifies through Their consciences.

In the metaphysical domains of the Ideal Reality, conscience is not optional, and power without virtue is not possible. This world in which you now read these words is glaringly different from that Ideal Reality, and not in a way which is part of any Divine Plan, save for the part which is "in the world, and not of it". That Being's name is Truth.  Truth distinguishes what is real from what is a fraud, and does not pretend to itself nor to anyone else that it is possible to properly separate "fact" and "value". It is not a scholarly distinction to say that one either understands this to be impossible or that one does not so understand. It is a distinction of the essences of the beings involved.

Because the Actual and Ideal Being is in the process of multiplying Its Own number (fecundizing) while also increasing its value, the measurement of this increase and the amplification of the scale of the World of Existence (proper) is one which is the Truest and Best "approximation" of what "existence" means and is, and why it is good.  This Being is the "ultimate authority" both in substance and form, although It has not reached Its own Perfection in a "static" way. Literally, we could say that It "Perfects Unceasingly". We would abstract the notion of this into a notion of "Unceasing Perfection", and then convert that noun into a verb by simply changing its sense from that of an action's result (what most people mean by "perfection") to that of the action itself.  But this action is in essence its own result, and part of the result is always furthering this same action. It is a Living Being in essence.

That people conceptualize distinctions between "life", "being", "essence", "existence", and other such terms, such as "fact" and "value" indicates only that distinctions of emphasis have become important in some contexts, mostly due to the disabilities some minds possess in their faculties wherein some moral capacity should have been demonstrated but was not.  These "people" are humans(?) who sometimes, even regularly possess less dignity than a simple and good dog, and in my estimation of their interactions with such dogs are sometimes themselves painfully aware of their moral disadvantage. 

However, in our "current world" there seems to be a rather dense concentration of such types of "persons" into the establishments of authority, reducing the meaning of those offices to the spaces, furnishings and facades which are their eponymous shelters. These entities are no more "in office", where Spiritual Authority is concerned than their bodies are in a building with a room called an "office". We should merely say they are legally recognized persons who are physically located in an office. They seem to be involved in staking out and adjudicating claims about what people can be allowed to do within cities and collections of cities. That's about all that can be said for their activities as being "authoritative".  They lack the moral capacity to properly judge Good from evil, and they lack the ethical capacity to properly distinguish Right from wrong. But because precedents were set in these matters already, and because these individuals are well-trained in the mannerisms befitting someone who "ought" to know and practice good morals and ethics, they manage, with a lot of help from various other villains high and low, and with a lot of strong PR and psychotronically reinforced propaganda and other forms of conditioning, to "hold power" in a way that convinces the masses of slaves who work for them that these "archons" deserve titles like "Honorable" and "Esteemed".

But what we know of human beings is that if they can't produce it, nor find it freely available, they'll steal it.  If they can't do that, then they'll counterfeit it. So humanity has found a way to counterfeit the Ordinations of Heaven into a monstrosity it calls its own collective habits and opinions, an institutionalized form of which is called "the state". It's really just a game of organized thuggery, the way it is done by the psychopathic types I've just mentioned, but that is just calling the same conduct by a more fitting name which has been eschewed in favor of being called political life and statesmanship.

It doesn't mean that a Divinely Authorized State cannot properly exist.  It already does exist.  It just doesn't exist on this Earth. Mockeries and counter-mockeries of such a State of Being do exist on this Earth, however, and have by force of their overcrowding tumult generated the illusion that what they have made preponderant is somehow thereby properly normative.

Plato, and Aristotle, were right to distinguish the forms of men's souls along the lines of their basic bodily functions on one end of the spectrum and towards an optimal capacity for Reason on the other. The souls of men are distinguished within each one by its capacity to represent the needs of the body versus the needs of the spirit which is attached to that body (Plato might say "chained" to it). Men's souls are distinguished from one another by the preponderance of emphasis in the parts of their souls which compete with one another for power over the body and over the attention of the mind which operates in connection with it. Some are more "bodily" and some are more "spiritual", with some in between.  However, it should be added that a further distinction exists, one which tells apart two types of souls by the fundamental moral quality (or lack thereof) in the spirit which operates in connection with the body.

These two types of spirit are so fundamentally different that they simply cannot coexist without one becoming destroyed by the other. They are polarized against one another in way which I term "antivalent".

In their antivalence, these spirits do not together have the same sort of relationship to the body or to its levels of soul. One sort of relationship is called "evil" and it is a manifestation of one of these two types of spirit, and the other is called "Good" and is a manifestation of the other, proper type of spirit, or Spirit. These bodily forms which we all currently manifest, or which are manifest against us (depending upon one's orientation to them, spiritually), are properly the expressive forms of evil spirits. How this came to be is another subject entirely, but here we'll stick with the issue of how this is relevant to the discussion of "free will", and this in terms of how this world presents a situation in which the exercise of free will is not the same for one type of being as it is for another depending upon what spiritual essence such beings exhibit.

The circumstances "of the world" are those which favor the evil orientation of spiritually directed bodily forms, and which especially serve the interests of evil spirit beings which operate within a hierarchy of control over these forms. This is a general feature of this world which is borne out by a consideration of the totality of all facts and inferences which relate to the matter of what this world "is and does". But it isn't the central consideration here and is mentioned only to assist in framing what is the focus in this essay, which is to explain the distinction between Good and evil wills, and to explain their modes of operating "freely" or "with constraints".  In order to do this properly it must be stated here that the world in which these words are read is an evil counterfeit of some of what might barely pass for a shoddy copy of an Ideal Reality.

In this world only evil wills operate "freely", in that they are free to manifest the nature of the evil spirits which generate their impetus to make decisions. It can also be demonstrated that the world's systems of society are custom designed to promulgate the flow of such decisions as support evil wills, and and therefore to run against the orientation of Divine Nature.  The means by which this happens is described in detail in future essays immediately following this one.

But first, we should look at the Divine Nature and the Good Will which expresses it freely in the proper domains of existence which stem directly and substantively from the Ideal Reality which is the only True Fons Honorum.

Firstly, The Divine Flow of Being is the source of the fact of any being's existence, but this is true if and only if that being demonstrates that it is of the same Essence with That Flow. It does not issue the power to exist and yet not issue the proper character of existence which is specified as the inherited nature of character which constitutes that being's way of existing. Beings don't "just exist" and then discover their character in a vacuum.  They manifest their nature.

If there is ever found a being which exists and yet which manifests a character which is not aligned with the Divine Flow, then that being is a pseudobeing, and it only seems to exist, but doesn't actually exist.  It has manifested in the outer realms of Divinity as a parasite.  It doesn't properly exist as a part of God's Realm. Yet it properly does strive to exist in spite of this fact. It is "proper" for it to manifest as an enemy of God, because that is in its nature. It is not proper for it to "exist-as-an-enemy-of-God" on the whole, because that is to be an enemy of existence itself and of the basis of existence, which undercuts its own basis of existing. It exists only temporarily, until it is destroyed.

It cannot be "changed into" a "Good" nature without being destroyed, because in fact it has no "interior nature" which is independently existing! It's very modus operandi is summed up in the way it takes advantage of this very fact, by merely seeming to be what it is not, which is to say merely seeming to be a properly existing being! It seeks to effect the same results in its victims as it has already within itself, yet to elevate itself above its victims as their victor. It is impossible for it to achieve its suicidal goal "on the whole", but it is proven possible to achieve its goal in part. If this were not true, then it would not be the significant threat that it is to anyone within its reach, and it would not be important, or even possible, let alone necessary to distinguish "Good from evil". It isn't as the fools say who announce that "it is all good". It isn't.

But in the Divine Realm of Being, a being freely acts according to its nature.  There is no antivalence, and at most there is benign turbulence which resettles as part of the pattern of overall growth and development.  It is manifested as all the activities which are concurrent with such, and these can be envisioned as modes of work, play, creation, advancement, and enjoyment in all cases, as well as unto itself (for such Being is its own reward). That's not what's going on in this pseudoworld at all, no matter what blather new age fools emit.

The pseudobeings could not properly exist in such a Realm, and they do not.  Wherever they do "exist" it is only in a pseudorealm which enables their perfidy.

Because the horrible truth of evil is so despicable and rotten to the core, it cannot possibly survive a direct conflict with Divine Being, so it has manifested as a deceptive glamor on the outskirts of Divinity. Here it managed to eke out a pseudoexistence by appearing as Its reflection, luring less powerful Beings away from their proper home and gradually devouring Them within the bowels of its own negative dimensionality.  This "lacuna in being" is what is at the core of evil beings, and it thrives only in proportion to the destruction of Real Beings.  At first it must deceive Them to lure Them, then it gradually strips Them of Their virtue over millenia.

The lies it weaves over such captive (because captivated) Beings is the entirety of its "communication" with Them. The manipulation of these Beings toward Their destruction is the entirety of its interaction with Them. The devouring of these Beings' aspects for food and also scavenging them into the forms of images which are converted into furthering their domain of falsehood and murder is the entirety of their "unity" with Them. How could it have been otherwise?!

By damaging a Divine Being in His Dignity, He is stripped of some of His power, though He may keep a hollow ideation of His values.  The Virtue is what is depleted over time. As long as He maintains His "ideals", then He has the capacity to be revived at some point in the future.  That is His only "hope". The power which is taken is used to construct systems by which His image is used against Him, and by which He is allowed to have back some small portion of His power, so that He will feel "entitled" through that mechanism, and so that the character of His remaining Virtue will be further softened and polluted so that further damage can be done.

All the while, the propaganda which is portrayed against Him serves to simultaneously lure other Beings into the same traps for which He already fell. How else could Good have ever first encountered evil?  Only evil fools will tell you differently. And they cannot now change their stories without being thoroughly detected. They lacked the insight required for reaching this conclusion for a reason!

As long as He maintains His values, and as long as He does not actively participate in the further stripping of His own power by His own motivated action (by his own power), then He is kept at a steady state of imprisonment by the inertia of his condition, which would further worsen if it were not counterbalanced by the remaining totality of His Nature, both within Him and in the Divine Realm to which His Nature hearkens and calls. But this is obviously a perilous situation, and unless it were reversed it would spell the actual annihilation of His Being at some point. Understand this well, for this is the exact process which must be reversed completely in order to "correct" evil beings.

This is to be reversed according to the punishment methodology designed by the Divine Being as the appropriate and necessary antidote to this wicked process of parasitism, which involves the method of reversing such evil actions back upon their issuers, while restoring the Dignity of the victims with that energy which is taken back and purified through the destruction of the fraudulent pseudobeings and their pseudorealms. This method takes the forms classically called "the punishments of hell". Bear in mind, it is nothing but the actions of evil reversed upon itself.  It does not even require the active involvement of Divine Agents, and that anyone said it did only proves once again their evil ignorance.

It is a simple and pure process. Evil is folded back upon itself through its own active hypocrisy, at the point where it is vulnerable, at the point where its pretense to Divinity is inversely proportional to its actual nature. The energy which is produced at that point is really least usable by evil beings, and is converted into a nearly perfect form of redistribution of the energy that it was when stolen.  It is like the lures of light in some evil deep-sea fishes. That point is taken away from them, which means that they will lose their primary means of self-protection from rebellion against imprisoned Beings, and also that they lose their main mode of luring other Beings into their traps.

As this happens, the evil beings will take more concerted effort against Those already entrapped. This is predicted to occur. Because that energy which was taken back from evil has gone all the way through all of its systems and then touted as its own "fruit", so it is fully informed as to the nature of evil without itself being either an agent of evil or of Good.  It was simply like a recording device, alive and sentient yet not an agent in the truest sense. That well-informed energy is by Divine Power and Right reinvested into the captive Beings who are granted back their own Power according to their persistence with their Ideals and Values, and they are raised in Virtue accordingly. This Virtue is now fully informed about the nature of its enemy and its plans and goals, and so the revived Being is now much more dangerous of a target for evil beings, who now must spend more of their precious energy and time and attention in order to get back very much diminishing returns.

This process goes on and on until Divine Beings are all extracted from this filth, which all the while is rolled back upon itself as each section of it is cleared of Divine Beings. As this is done it is forced to endure the logical consequences of whatever that entails. This results inevitably in the pseudobeings devouring one another until there are a few who then set upon each other and neighboring sectors, until there is one gluttonous, starving being, which then encounters the fate that I described once here:

The punishment for this crime is hell, which lasts unto eternity unless it is quenched in annihilation, which is possible only after the maximum suffering that can be endured by the demon is endured. Annihilation can only be reached through this crescendo of punishment, which grades continuously to any given condition of the demonic being.

 Hell is the name for this condition. It is applied to the demon for its crimes against Spiritual Dignity. It is endured until it is complete. It never lessens in intensity but only increases. It increases with each attempt of the demon to change its condition. If it attempts no change, then that degree of suffering is endured, possibly forever, with no mitigation in any form.

It can only be quenched in annihilation, and only by proceeding through the full round of punishment. It lasts as long as the demon will endure it, and it ends only by his being annihilated after enduring the maximum amount.

  The Righteous are Those who survive this transformation of the world. They are returned in Full Glory to Their Original Realm of Being.  The Wisdom that They've acquired here will be deposited within the store of the Divine Totality, and it will be no distinction for them or anyone. The Divine Totality will be made fully immune to any such incursions of evil from then on, and already is now while this fake world is being completely annihilated by its own evil, sealed upon itself. The separation of these beings is clearly the only way that the Good being can exercise Its own nature freely. So in this world, there is no proper exercise of a moral will to begin with, let alone freely. Its very design, purpose, and nature are to thwart that in every way.

In this despicable realm only the evil beings are allowed to exercise their will "freely, according to their nature". They will not be thwarted in this when the Good Beings are fully separated from them, but rather their self-expression will be made freer because more direct, more among their own kind, and without any need for hypocrisy getting in the way. Likewise, the Good Beings will be fully able to freely express Their Nature when properly among Their kind.

When all the "energetically juicy" marks are properly informed that they are not living in a proper realm where they can exercise their full and real potential, they will begin making proper decisions about this situation according to their natural ideals, especially when resupplied by power which enables them to act accordingly, and not merely treading in this sewage so as not to drown. Then "the house" will lose its supply of energy and begin playing "Russian roulette" with one another, gambling over the remaining scraps which have no sentience and no life, but only the basest form of energy possible, and which will be extruded from the outer casing of this encysted realm as though a sort of "Hawking radiation", purified of all its evil history. There's nothing to learn about evil except how to do away with it. What it does with itself is its own business. Amazing how giving evil beings the  maximum privacy and maximum freedom is the same as giving them their worst nightmare, while merely being away from them completely is a reward greater than anything which they could offer, on any terms.

So the natures of beings are distinguished properly so that the distinctions between what each considers "freedom to act" is delineated along the line of each one's distinct nature. That the natures distinguished are antivalent is not "merely" a logical construction based upon arbitrary terms, but all the facts of experience bear out this logic empirically, and in the metaphysical logic used by me, this form of logic grows directly out of the facts of experience without any gap.  Likewise, the application of this logic is not some abstract game of generalities, but applies with exacting precision on a case by case basis, without fail and without error.  To speak of one is to speak of the other.  Deductive inferences based upon this evidence are completely sound, valid, cogent, and in all ways proper.

Of course, in the form that I've presented so far it all might seem rather abstract, and this will change in all ensuing essays as to the content. The form is still abstract because it will be discursive language, however.  But the concrete examples which will be provided will show that all evil occurs on scales which are continuous, from the lowly street urchin's antics all the way up to the most grotesquely bloated fiends of power, old and new. There is no qualitative distinction between them, only a distinction of magnitude.

In order to enact a complete reversal of style from the abstract and metaphysical into the concrete and phenomenological, it isn't necessarily best to simply go from one extreme to the other, however. So in the next essays I'll consider each of the major areas of human civilization from factual and historical angles up to and including the present day. Ample evidence will be supplied from these examinations of fact which will be impossible to claim are merely the result of any biased interpretation unless that bias has to do with being biased against fraud, murder, greed, ignorance, stupidity, arrogance, cowardice, and all other vices and forms of corruption.

To begin with we'll consider the area which people most easily all understand: Their stomachs.
