Immanentizing The Eschaton (American Revelation XVII, Sixteen.)

 Never have I witnessed such sincere hospitality and the overwhelming spirit of true brotherhood as is practiced by people of all colors and races here in this ancient Holy Land, the House of Abraham, Muhammad, and all the other Prophets of the Holy Scriptures. For the past week, I have been utterly speechless and spellbound by the graciousness I see displayed all around me by people of all colors...

You may be shocked by these words coming from me. But on this pilgrimage, what I have seen, and experienced, has forced me to rearrange much of my thought-patterns previously held, and to toss aside some of my previous conclusions. This was not too difficult for me. Despite my firm convictions, I have always been a man who tries to face facts, and to accept the reality of life as new experience and new knowledge unfolds it. I have always kept an open mind, which necessary to the flexibility that must go hand in hand with every form of intelligent search for truth.

During the past eleven days here in the Muslim world, I have eaten from the same plate, drunk from the same glass, and slept in the same bed (or on the same rug) -- while praying to the same God -- with fellow Muslims, whose eyes were the bluest of blue, whose hair was the blondest of blond, and whose skin was the whitest of white. And in the words and in the actions and in the deeds of the "white" Muslims, I felt the same sincerity that I felt among the black African Muslims of Nigeria, Sudan, and Ghana. We were truly all the same (brothers) -- because their belief in one God had removed the "white" from their minds, the 'white' from their behavior, and the 'white' from their attitude. I could see from this, that perhaps if white Americans could accept the Oneness of God, then perhaps, too, they could accept in reality the Oneness of Man -- and cease to measure, and hinder, and harm others in terms of their "differences" in color.

With racism plaguing America like an incurable cancer, the so-called "Christian" white American heart should be more receptive to a proven solution to such a destructive problem. Perhaps it could be in time to save America from imminent disaster -- the same destruction brought upon Germany by racism that eventually destroyed the Germans themselves.

They asked me what about the Hajj had impressed me the most. . . . I said, "The brotherhood! The people of all races, color, from all over the world coming together as one! It has proved to me the power of the One God. . . . All ate as one, and slept as one. Everything about the pilgrimage atmosphere accented the Oneness of Man under One God.

...

If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on Earth. And this idea that government is beholden to the people, that it has no other source of power except to sovereign people, is still the newest and most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man. This is the issue of this election. Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves. ~Ronald Reagan

I saw this earlier today.

At this point, what the "Conservatives" are putting out there is straight-up racism, there's no kinder way to put it, nor any that would be properly accurate.

But, as usual, it's not just that.

It's that these motherfuckers look at a diverse, urban crowd of people and automatically think that's bad, and they look at uniform sameness where nobody's outside and think that's an automatic good.

And ten bucks says they imagine all the people in the houses glued to screens watching people like Donald Trump and Elon Musk, instead of, ya know, going outside and touching grass or something. That's getting to be the thing that's really disturbing me about this Trump shit. Nobody's touching grass, nobody goes outside unless it's some Trump-related thing or (maybe) to go to work or some shit. If they're not living in pants-shitting fear of the rest of us, they think they're too good to interact with us.

Worse. None of these fucking people ever turn it off, and they're all getting wrapped way too tight. That's on purpose, by the way.

At this point these motherfuckers are basically telegraphing contempt, if not outright hatred for all people who aren't adult, allegedly-Christian, rich, straight White males with a specific kind of right-wing beliefs. No, being merely-conservative or even far-right but not fascist isn't good enough anymore. 

And they never turn the hate off, either. These fucking people are getting addicted to that shit.

You have to take the White Pill, and chase it down with bootleg Russian vodka out of a plastic jug. I guess? (Or maybe it's the Orange Pill?) I mean, Jesus Christ what's wrong with these fucking people at this point??

They've taken their ridiculous metaphor of The Matrix and started actually believing it...and they think they're all Agent Smith, and that Agent Smith was The Good Guy.

In fact, I'd argue we're probably going to need a new word for this fucking shit, and the less popular they get, the more they lose...the worse they will become, and the more extreme their actions will be.

And it's no longer so much that they've created a Christ-less Christianity...it's that very thing wasn't enough so now they're making a religion of conspiracy theories, fear and hate...and they're becoming extremely religious about it.

And now we've got Elon Muskrat saying that Nukes are no big deal. Now, here's the thing. I'm a United States Air Force veteran, I was a Security Policeman who served in a Bomb Wing and in the Security Forces group for a Missile Wing and all I'm even going to say about that is that I was trained to literally treat every damn thing about that duty as if it was a serious matter.

Please, do yourself and the world a favor and think about where the fuck these people are going, mentally. So far as I can tell, they're a Death Cult with a Death Wish who thinks everybody else is by nature impure and not worth allowing to exist...unless it's for their personal sexual gratification.

Yeah, that's what Kirk Cameron means when he starts talking about the rest of us, even those Christians he deems insufficiently Christian (which is pretty much all of them) becoming drag queens and strippers. 

Yes, they sexualize the shit out of anybody they consider "Evil" but they'll sure want a taste before they kill us, think about that for a second.

And it's not for nothing, that I've said for years that if these nuts ever get their glorious revolution...a lot of these guys never learned the difference between a rifle and their gun, and they'll go charging into battle with their pants at half-mast and their hands on their dicks because in their heads they don't know the damn difference.

If they decide to start a Civil War when Trump loses these idiots are gonna make the Russian Army (which can't even defend its own country, now, since the Ukrainians have effectively counter-invaded Kursk Oblast) look like the 24th Mechanized Infantry in Desert Storm. Like, about the only thing their rebel army will be any good for is committing war crimes against unarmed civilians and stealing shit.

This is, of course, the fucking point.

On a deeply-ingrained level these morons think it's the End Times and they want to lose, because then they think their Omnicidal version of Jesus will come and save them...

And yes, I do mean only them, while then proceeding to zap everything else on the Earth into charcoal briquettes while they get to watch.

Of course their vision of God looks suspiciously like Donald Trump, and they've turned conspiracy theories into doctrine and Muskian Techno-Gnosticism into theology and fallen for every bullshit-ass bit of bright-lights showmanship you can imagine in the process.

They have no fucking idea just how Lost they actually are.

Like this shit is beyond simply "You're Going To Hell."

This is The Devil, sitting on his throne, drinking a Margarita out of a goblet made of a human skull, watches these fucking people, all fake-piety and puffery and shit, be led in by his Demonic hordes and he just bursts out laughing.

These fucking people really are trying to Immanentize some kind of shitty right-wing eschaton, and they're willing to become the bad guys in their own religious narrative if that's what it takes.

And no, they absolutely can't resist showing off just how much they hate the rest of us, either. It's like they think it's funny or some shit, cuz they got a pack of morons to agree with them.

It's funny how for all their supposed interest in all things Greco-Roman, the story of Icarus, one of the most universal warnings there is about hubris, never seems to register.

American Revelation ain't gonna go how they think.

And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.

And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.

How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she said in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.

Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judges her.

And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,

Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. ~Revelation 18:1-10

Ya know, I've read the Bible, I know how this is gonna turn out.

As for the rest of us, you either believe in freedom or you don't.

You got two choices;

#1 You can be a better citizen, vote for Kamala Harris and vote for Democrats for everything else, too.

Or #2 You can not do your duty as a citizen and be These Fucking People's play-toys until it all comes crashing down somehow...and it will.

I didn't set it up that way, they did.

With malice aforethought.

Because yes, these assholes really are that fucked in the head.

When is enough going to be enough?

What's it gonna take before people stop putting up with this horseshit?

Слава Україна

Слава Україна!

Hess: So what shall we toast to, boys? I can blather on about “To health” or “To success,” but I’d like to do somethin’ a little less rote. Where you from, Brown Eyes?

Migs Mayfield: How ’bout a toast to Operation Cinder?

Hess: Now there’s a man who knows his history.

Mayfield: No, I don’t just know it. I lived it. I was in Burnin Konn.

Hess: Burnin Konn?

Mayfield: Mmm.

Hess: That was a hard day. I had to make many unpleasant decisions.

Mayfield: Yes, you did. Entire city gone in moments, along with everybody in it. We lost our whole division that day. Man, that was like 5-10,000 people.

Hess: Yep. All heroes of the Empire.

Mayfield: Yeah. And all dead.

Hess: Well, it’s a small sacrifice for the greater good, son.

Mayfield: Depends on who you ask, don’t you think?

Hess: [irritated] What you gettin’ at, trooper?

Mayfield: All those people, the ones who died, was it good for them? Hmm? Their families? The guys I served with? Civilians, those poor mud scuffers, died defending their homes, fighting for freedom. Was it good for them?

Hess: But we’ve outlasted them, son. They’re eating themselves alive. The New Republic is in complete disarray, and we grow stronger. You see, with the rhydonium you’ve delivered, we can create havoc that’s gonna make Burnin Konn pale by comparison. And then they’re gonna turn to us once again. You see, boys, everybody thinks they want freedom, but what they really want is order. And when they realize that, they’re gonna welcome us back with open arms. Ah. To the Empire.
