iceland pays back 'in natura'

a pretty (((and)) dutch) way to put the fact that coin of the realm, the 'in kind' kind (of payment) is finally halting all that mad flightage for a spell.

Aside: Were LSD as legal as Kleps (see below) wished it to become alongside the legally diabolic substance alcohol, i bet less folks would fee the urge to hop planes.

In the mail below i mention a little something about psychology that is worth taking note of ... so much even that i will prepiet it here for your convenience:

All this connects to a thought i had yesterday to illustrate the remark i sent you the day before that Andrew, about weather being like money (info - memory - lube - 'coheritage') psychologically (in the wider sense of dry meet wet oxide, dust and rain macronomy).

nother prepiet: my archive will soon be dusted off unpacked, set up and accessible .. so drop me a line about your need to browse, help categorize, catalog and/or film all them exiting squiggles and scratches, signs and SIGnaturalizing.

on the 3x3 magic square in the magic carpet article written last month. Yup, he is still kneading the dough in his cranium, another overvisual bird of prey that hover over and hoovers up all sorts of life but fails to bake bread. He contrasts carpets with military maping citing Christopher Alexander (A Pattern Language which i have in hyper version, since joining a permaculture week near Berlin in 2005) and wonders if the 15 elements can be related to the magic square where 6 parallels and 2 diagonals add up to 15 too:

International Journal for Unconventional Computing, 5, 2009
Christopher Alexander:
Levels of Scale -- Good Shape -- Roughness
Strong Centers -- Local Symmetries -- Echoes
Thick Boundaries -- Deep Interlock -- The Void
Alternating Repetition -- Contrast -- Simplicity
Positive Space -- Gradient -- Not-Separateness

[NB: A follow-up to the above arguments, with a detailed review of Christopher Alexander' insights, is provided in a separate paper: Harmony-Comprehension and Wholeness-Engendering: eliciting psychosocial transformational principles from design (2010)]. laetusinpraesens.org/docs10s/harmon.php


Reconstitution of mail to Andrew (lost through manipulation of a sent mail i guess .. and since he is under the knife right now i better rewrite what i remember before getting even surer he won't bother to read much less send it after all that), the one about my head's history, me dad's butcherment (aneurysm operation that burst and had to be redone witin 38 hours, his demise after 1 year of Alzheimer 3 years later) ..
.. advice (to him as much as to myself) about listening to your eyes crying and in pain, sickening from artificial and phony 'feed', pining for natural forms. Psyching up for immanent abstinence, cutting back on and ending exposure. All the networking can only lead to however fast and rapid growth may prove, tiny starts with chipping away piecemeal and make its validation inviolable despite efforts to resist and worse, sabotage such good exemple. But since fist-making ambition are already and in principle corrupted by what they purport to remedy eradicate and outgrow from the outset and likely to get more so during this process (approach of enemies risks the unlikeness to them to the degree of approximation) one might as well cut out the mediaton and start chipping backyard rocks immediately at least (what will turn out the better) part of the time (good reminder of ultimate root and fruit in any case).

Your latest vid (on twitter, showing iran and great dynamic network graphs) reminded me a lot of .... can't think of his name right now, he is in belgium and
has a huuuuuuge site with 8-fold(y)ness and mappage like yours but different though less dynamic, last i checked ... good half a year ago or so (i recommend you contact him. . wait, .. i will alert him to you myself and consider it an honour, how's that?) ... his site is called something like 'laetius praesens' or 'laetius in
praesens' ... it is Anthony Judge at Laetus in Praesens

In a nutshell, unless you mention the dangers also, all you show is bias and upbeat cheer/pep proppycrock of the type The Zeitgeist Movement is guilty of (remarks on them a few PgUps where i am now).

Contact, affiliation, allegiance, membership, affinity, belonging is, like money as it shed weightier stages of it's drossness, was indeed never "not inhibited by geometry" but ex-territorial. However, we have seen a world championship develop and what a friend recently called elephantoms arise (collusion and corruption are the never to be underestimated reverses and reversals of co-operation).

A sense of belonging may not be "inhibited by geometry" (to the contrary, as mandala and medicine wheel art and reverence, plus, now network tools prove) but neither is animosity and those dice are loaded, that tumbler is a mother ducking humbler and not in a good way. It is easy to polarize, harder to pick suitable poles.

Sure, co-ordinates precede co-ordination but how to make/help them gain precedence and preference over subordination is an entirely different matter. Try do an un-install or reboot on that! You will soon find yourself in jail like Gary McKinnon (UK Asperger 'patient' who broke into the Pentagon ((using over the counter simple cheap means on a slow connection)) and is extradited to the US - see freegary.co.uk). I am suprised you haven't mentioned him in your posts by the way.

Speaking of the odd ball, i might mention Chinese healing enthusiast Drew Hempel, who claims nothing short of miracles, not least of which is opining there's hardly any space worth the bother or mention, let alone working it into science, that is dumb and downright fraudulent, done for imperialistic reasons.

I am sure incapable of doing justice to his brilliance, a good place to start is here:

Revisiting Taoist Yoga Alchemy
http://naturalresonancerevolution.blogspot.com/2010/04/revisiting-taoist-yoga-alchemy.html
here is a little taste (i think i have seen him type this out almost daily, often at more places/threads than one, since 2006 - he has funny activist stories as well, confronting Gore and all that):

Chunyi Lin says that all we really need to know is to use our consciousness to go into the emptiness. The reason there is a difference between "our"
consciousness and the "emptiness" is because the process is asymmetric -- it relies on complementary opposites. Western logic is symmetric -- "I Am that I Am" being the definition of God or Brahman. But yin and yang and the emptiness are like the Pythagorean harmonics -- 2:3 is C to G and 3:4 is G to C -- so that G x C does not equal C x G. - that man does telephone healing sessions, on blogtalkradio also - http://www.blogtalkradio.com/qigongmasters - he treated the younger Bush several times. Strange enough these geezers are ok in China as opposed to falun gongers. I am not sure what the diff is. Drew never goes into that now that i think about it.
An excellent biography of a Taoist master which is very much like the training
Chunyi Lin had is called Opening the Dragon Gate on Wang, Liping.
http://www.amazon.com/Opening-Dragon-Gate-Making-Modern/dp/0804831858

Here is an apropo quote:
Yeah! Qigong master Chunyi Lin told our class that one of his teachers, Shaolin
Buddhist monk, Master Yao, demonstrated lighting fires with his EYES! He said
that once Master Yao did this fire lighting too many times and when he got back
to his monk room he started spitting up blood.

All time is all there just as much as all space and the ... you know ... boundless 'uptimism' yada yahaahaa. He is interested in all that disgusting hi-tec savantery, anything, wether originating from so black a budget it might as well be alien (making us be ill either way)., 'alien' plane or 'plain' alien, pickle your poison.

i am all for dispersal, dilution and 'light' touch topicality bringing light within reach is a 'receptication' we (every one of us) owe our very existence, sprinkle oxides that reduce as light and moisture hits it, is the part maudite of the full 'cycleus'. It not fighterjets merit souping and teccing up massively, all the way to ridiculously Venus Project-like spectacular spray spout prowess for all i care, matter of fact, a thought sparked by dreaming last night had me revisit the octahedron rigged with 4 (radial) axes differential (gears) which, combined with slow and steady power generations such as a much much less well known sibling of Fresco's, Wessel di Wesseli thought up, could realize a serious crowd pleaser.

Price of entry to such e'ventage' is toting home gravel to it and back home again too, disaggregated, accesibilized, mineral in( )formation dustified while you not waight or wait but toss each other (each according to his own weight) gauntletlike crosspasses, the big thrilling bass breaks won't be bombs or empty gestures from socalled (cough) 'speakers' -- thumbscrews and earchews collusive in the big hyperheist, in holland the 'soakholled' 'hypotheek' - besides sounding like hypertec - means mortage and is govt subsidized, also very popular as well as disproportionately beneficial to the rich who should be barred but aren't (repealing that will take longer than building a road here, which takes twenty years ((before starting)), never starting a treehousing project is downright criminal wherever you go though).


Despite pipe-dreams like George Gilder's 'Life after Television' and the promise of Linux, etcetera, I have come to the conclusion that so far IT is not immune to abuse and all too often turns into fistmakery pre-empting tec while doing nothing to actually break up existing ones, except maybe shake a virtual one in its general direction, savvy folks like Matt Taibbi's naming and shaming notwithstanding, and painted green as the case may be or not.

Any fracturing and cutting down to size clout that large monopolies (TBTF Moronopolies) and market cornerers must be targeted with and badly need a liberal application of before any of your upbeat happens (instead of you eated and defeated or worse, beat-up) is lost in the price payable for individualism, subject(ed) to these toys dangling coinshavers* the inso-/isolate sterilize splintersetnet, IT has you mesmerized and staring at the screen instead of 'listening to your eyes' telling you they had enough. i have done it though i could have hired one of those fancy treehouse construction specializers to do me one and start feeding my vision organically. Inner eye viewing provision and leading hands to all within reach is an old (and harassed) but by NO MEANS outmoded intelligence.

what i tried at TZM in recent days (rebuffed) and sent Andrew yesterday (along with a personal observation on ((my dad's)) aneurysms which i lost and his blog did not register)


http://www2.thevenusproject.com/blog/2010/02/truly-free-people-do-not-need-to-be-told-they-are-free/

listening to a month old show right now, with inspirator, (a*)social engineer Jacque Fresco (who claims to promote a linux version of social tec, innovative, voluntary, money-less gift economical) sounds pretty irritated with 'da stupidity' in the world. Well him and his counterpart head honcho youngster Peter (who looks drugged but can rant a pretty ok rote spiel with an eye to lenghtening the chain of meaningfulness like only the energetic and naive can afford and put into play.
* see my comment a few PgUp tap away on why i suspect him of the same old asocial uncleanly done separation (message unmixing) attempts.

(rightie/leftie) Jonesite/ZG protest movies (the former focusing on the perps, almost entirely reactionarily, the latter, half on the suffering, half on pipe dreams, like pretty and streamlined floating cities, conveniently leaving all the less cute infrastructures ((aside from the obviously light-less innards - no no, you do not understand us, we will work with mirrors adjusting in a motion as fluid as the swell and current we happen to be tappingtopping at the time)) like, duh ..factories necessary for parts out of the picture).

Andrew should get a kick out of Jacque Fresco's chimpy profile, such obvious proof for his clear intuition(?) about reproductive leaps that reach back to not just common ancestors but the FIRST ANCESTOR IN COMMON (dna recog-click necessary to give the 'precedent'!, permission to spark conception and risk a few resources due to chance for up-tick). That leap reaches way further back than average in Jacque's case.

He inspired the VP/ZGMovement, him being 92, a long-tail affair if ever i saw one, and with the masses succumbing to virtual, surrogatory dilutions of life (such as SF) very dangerous, no matter how tried and tested an old ethic and essential shtick of theirs, very cristian in fact is 'what you wish to avoid yourself, may not be imposed, rolled over and passed on to others'. They think that the non-violate and voluntarity principle they wish to uphold in the good old experimenter tradition (from Ulrich von Beckerath, straddling economic history from the middle ages to the WWs, to James Bowery, a man who moves among rightish leaning circles) is today just as easy as way back when nobody's evil deeds went beyond organic and hands-on reach (somewhere between aiming for a brief hold on live treebranches and living vines and the next great late stage, to grab and wield handtools (puzzled wedge-wise, finding grains edgewise, staking claims sledge wise .... )

Yeah, been putting up a good defense of trees lately .. have you noticed? .. ever since finding a link at Drew's last month, to Tree-Crops, the book (with global scope) from the 30s by J Russell Smith that i read in the early 80s. If only that had been the textbook and manuel for the american imperial project. Instead we get Larry Summers savvy about pollution and going from bad to worse ever since.

Effective words on Timely topic: opiates

I personally don't use worse than tobacco and coffee anymore but sympathize with Klepsian arguments, his is the most economical way of summing this all up i have seen in a long time. Except i would add an alinea or two on how i hate alcohol and everything it stands for (going back to Joseph's attempt to stockpile wealth, preserve and ... mess people up with it.

European rainbow gatherings are not as hemp happy happeny as i remember rainbows in the US'80s being but their souperstition malady (leading to bad musical choices) is often more than i can handle. If only they'd be more into the http://archilibre.org type efforts ..... but hey, that is organic slow growth ... out of fashion for thousands of years now .... getting the visitors close enough to pay yet fenced out enough to be left in peace is just too tricky.

Ladies and Gents, your very special attention for Art Kleps (who merits the sharpest you can muster):

Opiates are not nearly as dangerous as the official propaganda maintains, and if it were up to me I would restore the days of yore when most farm families routinely bought a pound of opium around Thanksgiving to see them through the chills and ills of winter (I have seen the evidence). For most people, it's much safer to smoke opium than to down a few martinis. It's all a genetic roulette-wheel trip, and some predispositions are demonized while others are tolerated or even subsidized for reasons which have nothing to do with health and everything to do with furthering the interests of the owning and ruling classes. Is drug _x_ easier or harder to control than drug _y_? Is drug _x_ more profitable than drug _y_? These are the only questions that really matter in the capitalist scheme of things. What is good is bad and what is bad is good. You say that drug _x_ stimulates the imagination, encourages critical thought and provides ordinary people with a cheap source of home entertainment? They feel no guilt over their criminal conduct? Some of them grow their own? Well, if such be the case, no profits are being made and no taxes are being paid. These considerations, on top of the Sado-Judeo-Paulinian terror of anything that changes people for the better here on this earth, is more than enough to do it. The sky is falling and the end of the world is at hand. Call out the troops. Prior to the introduction of the powerful psychedelics, I think the American drug laws were best understood in Marxist terms. Since then, I think religious combat underlies it all, but Marxist logic still applies and is good enough to explain things to the satisfaction of most lawyers and shallow thinkers in general. Unlike psychedelics, however, it is true, opiates and coca are highly addictive in the incredibly concentrated forms in which prohibition forces producers to deliver these drugs to their markets. If it wasn't for the laws, most people would smoke a little opium for their aches and pains and chew a few coca leaves for a lift now and then and never become addicted. Neither substance, in any concentration except an extreme overdose, does any direct physical harm. Many addicts, including thousands of physicians, function better on the stuff than off it. W.C. Fields, speaking of booze, had it right: "In my experience, it is most often the absence, rather than the presence, of the substance in question that causes all the problems." The property crime and general physical debility associated with opiate use in the United States is entirely the result of the high price that most addicts must pay to obtain their daily ration, and the highly refined form it comes in, and both the price and the potency are direct consequences of prohibition. As has been clearly demonstrated by the humane and rational European ways of dealing with the problem, an addict who is allowed to obtain what he needs at little or no cost will often eat three meals a day and trudge off to work in the morning just like everyone else. If anything, he is less likely to commit crimes than his non-addicted contemporaries because, once he has his fix, and no worries about getting the next one, he is generally content with a quiet, modest existence and not about to go roaring off into the night in search of cheap thrills the way boozers and speed freaks do. Addiction, per se, is not all that serious a problem. The problem is addiction in a context of high prices and criminal sanctions against use. It's an American problem, deliberately created by the stone-hearted American capitalist oligarchy to crush working-class people under as many capricious and arbitrary burdens as possible, to turn them against each other and terrorize them and prevent them from thinking straight about anything. My wife, my daughter and I lived in "Nieuw Amsterdam," a huge housing development southeast of Amsterdam, from the spring of 1988 until January of 1991, when we were forced to return to the United States because of crimes committed against us by a DEA agent named D. O'Neill and his co-conspirators in the Dutch police, Mossad, and American Express, who stole our mail, burned our money and attempted to fry our brains with subsonic vibrations, or something. I got this stopped by calling in the fire department to investigate (a little tip there for all you folks having your brains fried), but we were never informed about what kind of infernal machine had been at work, just as we expected we wouldn't be. Most of this happened after the Dutch Ministry of Justice, fully informed by me of my criminal record in the United States, had granted us residence, and on liberal terms at that. The American mind police intervened, and had the decision reversed, asserting, along with other lies, that the Neo-American Church (about one-third of the members of which always have been and are now racially Semitic) had a "Nazi basis." We didn't have any proof of this until it was too late to do anything about it, and then we got copies of the incriminating documents by accident, or so it seemed anyway. (See _Kleps v. The Netherlands_, ECHR 19551/92.) "Love it or leave it?" Not anymore. You will stay on the plantation you were born on, unless drafted to put down insurrections on other plantations, and grin from ear to ear when massa passes by with his lash. Oh yeah, maybe they will let you move if it will help depress wages somewhere else. I always forget about that one. Putting aside the guardians of law and order, Holland in general compared to the United States as fresh air from the North Sea compared to industrial pollutants blowing up into Texas from the nightmarish industrial slums along the Mexican border. Our spacious, high-ceilinged, three-bedroom apartment, which overlooked a small lake with lots of fish, ducks and swans in and on it, cost us about $200 a month. The finest Moroccan hashish, available from over 250 coffee houses around the city, cost $7.50 a gram. We were surrounded by Third-World immigrants, many of whom were on the dole and many of whom were "illegals" supported by those on the dole and by individual initiatives of various kinds. The guaranteed annual income for all legal residents included a vacation allowance sufficient for a month in Spain every year. The powers that were had decided that people who don't have jobs need vacations as much as those who do. I agree. We do. Opiate addicts were common, but there were also all kinds of services for these unfortunate folks. The community was peaceful, pretty and well-tended. We bicycled around in the genuine parklands between the buildings, even in the late evening, without apprehension. The atmosphere, both physical and social, reminded me of Westchester during the '30s and '40s. What more can I say? Long live the Queen!

enjoying a little rainbow history

.. type read at the mo by Art Kleps.
He likes Ethan Allen (for his 'individualism and irreverence'), some fratricidal militant from Vermont ... 'imputed righteousness' features bigger than most in the google books tag-cloud for a 286K screed called 'Reason: The Only Oracle Of Man' ... found 2 online versions via wiki ... here are the 3x the phrase is found:

The reverend gentleman heard me through patiently, and with candor replied, "your metaphysical reasoning are not to the purpose; inasmuch as you are a Christian, and hope and expect to be saved by the imputed righteousness of Christ to you; for you may as well be imputedly sinful as imputedly righteous. Nay, said he, if you hold to the doctrine of satisfaction and atonement by Christ, by so doing you pre-suppose the doctrine of apostasy or original sin to be in fact true; for said he, if mankind were not in a ruined and condemned state by nature, there could have been no need of a redeemer, but each individual would have been accountable to his creator and judge, upon the basis of his own moral agency.

Notwithstanding, said he, if you will give me a philosophical explanation of original imputed righteousness, which you profess to believe, and expect salvation by, then I will return you a philosophical explanation of the doctrine of original sin; for it is plain, said he, that your objections lie with equal weight against original imputed righteousness, as against original imputed sin." Upon which I had the candor to acknowledge to the worthy ecclesiastic, that upon the Christian plan, I perceived that the argument had fairly terminated against me.

Synchronicity and the Plot/Plot, Arthur Kleps (1966)

maps.org/psychedelicreview/
11 issues here

http://www.maps.org/psychedelicreview/v1n8/psychreview08.pdf
the one that article is in

page 83 of the same issue is the first of an article on DMT by Leary and on the facing page is a drawing of what seems a garden path drawing before one realizes there is a face encompassing the whole thing, as if it carried an asymmetric tattoo ... speaking of which .... one of your links led me to view Pull out - a great documentary of a jewish NY lass visiting old flames.

Guns and alcohol dimmed Arthur Kleps' brilliance into a hindsight affair ... he did get to be 70 though.

He wrote a very right on comment in 'millbrook' about the type of art you find here: myspace.com/amygdalah1

Without some standardization of images, there could be no standardization of words, which are just the abstract labels given to certain impressions or classes of impressions. Those impressions which have the characteristics we categorize as belonging to a "living being" or "entity" and which play a persistent and/or decisive part in the story of one's life, myth, book, memory, drama, history, dream or whatever are "the archetypes."

To the occultist, of course, they are "more" than that, in the sense by which occultists mean "more", that is to say, the paranoid sense of "having (quantifiable, physical) power." Since the ludicrous illogic of "ethereal mechanics" is a topic I have dealt with elsewhere, I will try not to waste much time on it here, but proceed on the assumption that, since everything is psychological, everything is
psychological. Elephants and whales are not the gods of my dreams, any more than giant Castanedian fleas or ambulatory roots. The gods of my dreams are my closest friends, enemies, rivals, lovers, since they mean the most to me... and, not being paranoid, I do not grant to coercive power relations the highest place in my scheme of meaning. My wife is the greatest of my archetypes (it we leave aside, for a moment, that fellow I see in the mirror).


All in all, comparing footage of 78 rainbow gatherings with contemporary ones, and comparing Kleps with synchromystic pods (link below), it seems to me we (apart from myself waaayyy out in 'downfield') are not progressing very much.


Kleps from his 1973 THE EXCOMMUNICATION OF TIMOTHY LEARY:
Let's leave aside the possibility that all of this is an outright fraud, which would involve the invention of impressions and misrepresentation of experience. I will grant that Dr. Leary may have heard voice telling him what he says it told him, and this voice may have been accompanied by images of great clarity, brilliance,
detail and depth showing what might be called a comet streaking through the void, dancing double helixes, saints attending graduate school and what not. Maybe a variety of incidents in his everyday life have shown a synchronistic tendency to illustrate and elaborate the same images present in the vision and the ideas he had about them.
......
It would be absurd to read the works of Leary for philosophical instruction. The utmost that may be expected from any system promulgated by him is that it may be splendid and affecting, that it may suggest sublime and pleasing images. His scheme of philosophy is a mere daydream, a poetical creation, like the Domdaniel cavern, the Swerga, or Padalon; and, indeed, it bears no inconsiderable resemblance to those gorgeous visions. Like them, it has some-thing of invention, grandeur, and brilliancy. But, like them, it is grotesque
and extravagant.
....
(Nabokov also described himself as an "indivisible monist," and even went a bit further, in a glint here and hint there, in his later years. See_Strong Opinions_.)
....
Tim's basic method in those days, I later found out, was to attempt to structure other people's LSD experience in terms of the _ Tibetan Book of the Dead_, which is the prime text of the most supernaturalist, deviant and degenerated form of "Buddhism" on earth, namely, Tibetan Lamaism.

It's great stuff for the social control of an ignorant peasantry, and
that's about it. A first-class horror show to terrify the kiddies into
mindless obedience. An infallible Priest-King. Ruthless taxation to
build gigantic edifices for the religious bureaucracy.
Institutionalized pederastic, homosexual buggery ("celibacy"). Why go
so far afield when we have so much of that so much closer to home,
like in Massachusetts?

Many people who never have visionary experience on LSD learn just as much as those who do, if not more. Elaborate embellishments, crazy or not, tend to distract attention from the present and stagnate thought in a morass of enigmatic imagery.

A succession of fantastic spectacles is all well and good, but people must learn to ask the right questions before they can get the right answers. Preposterous stories and garish interior decorations never sent any steamboats up the Ganges.

The more I learned, the more inexplicable, except as a cash cow, Tim's pushing of the _TBD_ at the very start of things appeared. It was as if he deliberately and with malice aforethought polluted the Psychedelian cultural stream at its source and gave half the people in Psychedelian society (Lennon being a notable example of a good recovery) a bad set to start out with.

For years afterwards, kids told me they had, as novices, attempted to use the _TBD_ as a "guide," and they all reported anxiety attacks and various kinds of craziness leading to eventual frustration and exasperation, for which, at least at first, they had blamed themselves, not Tim or the book. They were not worthy of getting fucked over by class-A Tibetan spooks, or something like that. You had
to be a big wheel like Tim, Dick or Ralph to deserve truly ghastly eeriness of this magnitude. To get the Lord of Death on your case maybe you needed a Ph.D., preferably from Harvard.

It's true that Tim, as a good, crucifix-wearing Papist boy, had been brought up to believe in the efficacy of god/human sacrifice by means of prolonged torture and all kinds of related Judeo-psychotic ideation, with the usual consequences, and for a short time early in his Psychedelian career had imagined his "head was melting and running down" over his shoulders (personal communication) so I don't claim he projected darkness when all was sweetness and light within. Even so,
why push one's personal nightmares on the public? He never talked that way in private, as far as I know.


I will now quote his Hume quote in a small section he named 'IMPORTANT NOTICE' preceded by the comment that i realize/suspect it just has to have been meant and intended as a piece of intricate humor, in gest, a joke, well kneaded, like good bread.

_Philosophers are so far from rejecting the opinion of a continued
existence upon rejecting that of our sensible perceptions, that tho'
all sects agree in the latter sentiment, the former, which is, in a
manner, its necessary consequence, has been peculiar to a few
extravagant skeptics; who after all maintained that opinion in words
only, and were never able to bring themselves sincerely to believe
it._ --David Hume, _A Treatise of Human Nature_

... this comes a the end of a section added in 1990 in which Robert Funk oddly enough places himself (or Kleps hisself by way of prehumous eulogy?) outside (downfield?) all his alongsiders and contemporaries as the epitome of Kleptonianism . .. it seems to have been spoken in Amsterdam.

this is how it is decribed:
PREFACE
1990: The author's well-deserved reputation among persons of good will
and sound mind is briefly described by the Archon of Alaska.


Getting back to the Psychedelic Reviews, number 11 (last one, early 70s) has loads of art (17 Meg pdf for 95 pages) and features Ira Einhorn

See this (bloomsday 2006):
grouchogandhi.com/2006/06/pkd-
unicorn-and-soviet-psychotronics.html

number 7 has a john blofeld article
number 4 has james joyce on peyote (!??!??!?!?!)

'the sociology of the now' by Ira Einhorn occupies p52-58 - there is no table of contents but other than that and aside from the art and believer bloviation (Kleps coined 'Blobovians') it looks at least semi-professional and gives no indication that this was the last issue .. but it is the last one online at the page i found them:

Einhorn in his 69 postscript:
We need an inner transformation that would generate the energy necessary to repair the destruction that our completely outered life has visited upon the entire eco-system -- only te opening up of new inner channels will enable the system-as-a-whole to drain off some of the energy that is now building up, explosively, at certain localized points. The old symbols are not able to contain the new energy -- the goose step once shook off the goose flesh, but the flag no longer brings a tear to the eyes. Authority is shifting to the within, and we must remember that 'God' is the ultimate fascist.

before the last alinea he quotes Huxley:
Thus we tend to produce more adrenalin than is good for us, and we either suppress ourselves and turn destructive energies inward or else we do not supress ourselves and we start hitting people.

He then (further?) prophesizes 'a plague', given his connection with 9-11 (day of his arrest) one might well concede his point. His last line: 'Purification is coming'.

wallstreetwatch.org/soldoutreport.htm
march 4th 09 (found via ira Glazer at LBO-talk, he titled it 'Economists are the forgotten guilty men'), the opening line goes: "The financial sector invested more than $5 billion in political influence purchasing in Washington over the past decade .."

"Congress and the Executive Branch," says Robert Weissman of Essential Information and the lead author of the report, "responded to the legal bribes from the financial sector, rolling back common-sense standards, barring honest regulators from issuing rules to address emerging problems and trashing enforcement efforts. The progressive erosion of regulatory restraining walls led to a flood of bad loans, and a tsunami of bad bets based on those bad loans. Now, there is wreckage across the financial landscape."

Anybody notice a few pearls to add to my dust / volcanism / credit paralellogrammar?

giving dust full meaning

Polvo, poudre, .. the pile of pulverized minerals mixed with powdered poison ... thinking WTC yet? ... from top of the (nonetheless archaically towering) line evildoish toy arrays ... arrays with which to votivation-fraudulently myriadize and mirroply and multirate, in one word, portray themselves ... as the heights of civility and propriety (respectable and legitimate to the point of the occasional surreptitious crowning glory pinnacle worthiness of the real culprits in between a relentless stream of doubles, pawns and stand-ins filling that slottage).
waarnemen is quadrupling (4 way split) value as:
1 observe
2 opp seize
3 perceive
4 measure
which reflects the heroic attempt to tread, tiptoe, skate and march onto the multifractitious battlefields of meaning (ID, transparancy, etcerera) integration.

A 37 YO firefighter (i heard on the BBC worldservice the latter part of march) who did steady duty at Ground Zero is one of the 17 with thyroid cancer (normal rate is 17 every 100.000 .... how many firefighters sent into the dustpile?). Another number i did not catch right is the amount spent to fight claims but it sounded like billions vs the 6x 200K actually paid to self-sacrificials, overly dutyful, heroic (etcetera) victims.

The dust-pile was intentionally made (wether by Pazuzu boys, Ashkinnazi, or stations in between like catholics, illuminati i care not) to instill (with brandlike searing scourge for sure) an association with toxicity and the outrage over injustice i noted will swell like the catholic childabuse cases, whipping into the final stretch after a long tale that started with Canadian residential school cases a decade ago - see Jim Craven (jew/blackfoot and louis proyect, his buddy, little nerdy despot bigmouth mama baby goldman sachs marxist) even though it concerns a single point rather than the whole globe.

This whole debacle cut my steady climb towards helping a sounding thought -- dust is The Preeminent preemptive perse, and therefore .... massively as well as easily* massifiable meme, make that finger rubbing wealth gesture mixing it will daily fare both in and out and your immunity shoots up through the roof, spending shade and sustenance.... speaking of skylight, turnover, new leafs turning over, overturn ... well maybe soon sometime -- reach critical mass: the insight that crush and humble crumble equal credit of the sort all beings near enough instantly profit from (that is a matter of effectively targeting rain and shine with it, the solar guys often neglect the first and push their favorite pole forwards to the point they lose sight of half of themselves, thereby becoming all the more significant and other, not to say sore, making a perhaps too fine point of it).

* that is, only when folks are easy on each other, ease each other and in generally under the influence of as favorable as exceedingly rare (flawlessly executed non-profit accreditation and voluntarizing) moods and circumstance.

Speaking of polarity though, a near facetless and simplistic flip will right their (the evildoer's) twist of (that humble crush) truth.

Frenetic, heretic, genetic Babylon

Most of mankind helps desertification along terrifically, better than termites do. I have long believed that could be remedied. But the good guys remain exception due to lack of promotion. Taking hints from crippled and hampered visionaries is further complicated and obstructed by the fact these guys and dolls are so easy to smear and scapegoat. Most of them are heir to heisters like the present day Goldman Sachsy folk, but despite being badly tainted heritage wise, great heights can be attained. Think of the micro-credit promotion by the heir of a murderous regime adopted as the queen a continent away. Same old royalty tricks to keep the money in the family? Maybe. Derailery imminent like the whole credit card gambit caused by stagnant wages. Prolly. Still, there are hi-lite worthies i hope to do a few youtube talks about (since nobody else seems to all that much) though i am entirely passive about realizing that, other than throwing out expressions of willingness such as this one, As it stands, emulation changes of unknowns nil.

Now, onto destruction of climate, one region at a time, cumulative and falling over itself by now.

Before yet again believing everything our war on terror disher-uppers pour and hand out at their next level jumpin bigger bash, before keeping on drawing the same old familiar conclusions from jewry ido- and adulate christendom, before voting for christians another time, before once more repeating passive consumership for the multiculture pushers, i beg, beseech and implore you, please, also read Andrew Lehman and Kevin Macdonald along with Hitlerite material, as well as folks like Kafka. Next, try grasp what Ulrich von Beckerath saw was the history of economics at its now forgotten zenith, then apply common sense of stepped, staggered, staged, telescoping and harmonious hinging of puzzle peaces longer to just flat number and thought land but flesh them out via such new fangled must have plastic toys like the hoberman sphere before attempting to spy the genetic /evolutionary /group strategy corrolaries i am taking aim at here. I assure you to have discovered plenny. To wit, the attempt to raise and manage a spike in hierarchical and stratific pyramid theory ....jewry's aims to cover all bases with all ranks from rigorous, precise and exact to liminal, indeterminate and doppeldeutig, 'bloodlinearized mesiachism, all ethnicities under command of the *purest* of them, the AshkeNAZI theory they briefly infected a people up to then most innocent of such clandominated globalist invasive species machinations with. Look at Israel and tell me if they are not seizing every hybridization opp to load it with a real instance. I maintain that this way of risk spreading is counterproductive although i can readily sympathize with reaching into the bag, take aim type dosage fetishes, as long as rules are strictly emulative and imitative of nature rather than reaching in way too deep (inverse of the steep i noted), manipulatively recombinant.

Orthodox Jewish establishment has an official statues in Israel (unlike most Western countries, state and religion are not separated here, and the chief Orthodox Rabbi has a position similar to this of a supreme court justice). The same Orthodox establishment is very hostile to non-Orthodox Jews, which happen to make most of the American Jewish community.


The clean reliable and steady embeddiment with little individual freedom practiced by ancient cultures -- nobody at command of very many, nobody singled out, no commanding others to divide labour and help him push his dream forwards no matter how tempting the trajectories that propel a society away from labour in parallel to labour save here and employed there his inventions ... simply cause they are seen as detractions from each and every's autonomization pleasure -- is traded for a far more burdened one, a murkier, more precipitous and anxiety ridden (and hence security obsessed) pressure to improvise and invent.
For a less clumsily formulated and much longer digest of the same timespan magnitude turn to read Andro Linklater at http://www.Prospectmagazine.co.uk/2009/12/a-place-of-ones-own

All (the above) due to the shallowing and silting up of cultural memory (multilayered filters which clog and block when the holes increase yet seethroughs and vistas decline), destroying it where they find it and putting propaganda machines in their place. Remember, the most recognizable forebear of our present day media is the bible and there still is no substitute for it, the Mcluhan container theory has proved productive alrite, but he discounted side-effects due to bad choices in containment attempts, they all proved way too leaky so far, perhaps he did not quite understand Joyce as much as thought he did, let alone 'content', misunderstood as much as 'organization' is methinks.
Here's a hint (or 2):
minimally spaced (tight) and timed vs rhythmic swell and pulse
audible crumble vs silent assembly
of course there is as little vs here as between yin and yang.

Ps: Goldstone at Yale: It used to be the South Africans, he said with equanimity. There were many more UN resolutions passed against South Africa than against Israel.

ps2: this must be one of the dangerous schizophrenics we are failing to lock up according to dutch media on the 11th of march: Steven Plaut is a professor at Haifa University. He can be contacted at steveneplaut@yahoo.com

When The US Poisoned An Entire French Community With Hallucinogens
piglipstick's headline (he is given to write very little other than link text, much like Rowan)

French Government Queries U.S. State Dept. about LSD Attack, Prompted by New Book Release -- http://www.conspiracyarchive.com/Blog/?p=3502

"Prompted by a new book release, the State Department’s Bureau of Intelligence and Research has received a confidential inquiry from the office of Erard Corbin de Mangoux, head of the French intelligence agency, Directorate General for External Security (DGSE), concerning a recent account of American government complicity in a mysterious 1951 incident of mass insanity in France. The DGSE is the French counterpart of the CIA.

quite a few posts later he still has insanity on his mind and actually writes a few lines about it too:

Capitalism Goes Short On It's Own Death - http://piglipstick.blogspot.com/2010/02/capitalism-goes-short-on-its-own-death.html

It's the sad truth that when people profit on bad things happening, rest assured that we'll see them occur. Here's positive proof capitalism is total insanity.

fresh, for howard zinn

We're standing on the shoulders of people
Who sat, and stood, and fought
And sacrificed their lives at times
So that we'd be better off
I'm talking bout ordinary people
Whose courage held them through
We need many Harriet Tubmans
And we need many Sojourner Truths

Ordinary Heroes

In the factories in Lawrence
And the mines in Trinidad
Grew a spirit of resistance
That spread across the nation
And lit a fire that burned so bright
That it still gives people hope
We need many Big Bill Haywoods
And we need many Mother Jones'

Ordinary Heroes

Great changes don't come about
From some mystical twist of luck
They're the fruits of people sweating and stressing
And never giving up
It takes a lot of hard work and commitment
To lift every voice and sing
We need many Ella Bakers
And we need many Martin Luther Kings

Ordinary Heroes

We're standing on the shoulders of people
Who fought with life and limb
And passed along their trials and errors
To future generations
And the stories that we pass along
Will be the force that draws us in
We need many Woody Guthries
And we need many Howard Zinns

Ordinary Heroes

Nor do you ...

"....why capitalism is in perpetual crisis. It would be in perpetual crisis even if there was no fiat money at all, and all money was metallic."

well ....., waidaminnit, the slow increment of metal (or commodity baskets with real seed, handtools and musical rockgrinders in mine) is a healthy brake on all this take the money and run away computation power and prowess.

"This is because, as each industrialist automates his production process, he gains market share temporarily by cheapening his unit output cost, but when they are all fully automated, there is no profit left to share around."
----
Mmmm, the role of automation in real estate value could stand a little scrutiny, .... getting too big to fail is approaching a point of tide change/(no re)turn, the stage in the old sloshpump boil, bank and bail battle between bond and share where formerly rising stars plummet and lose prestige yet/but get honoured (as well as honorated) saved by the bell of long term dependability; iow, even if little gambles on rising location location occasion occ up as zion value did not pan out (as anything but what the dutch call 'bezigheidstherapy', keepmbusy ... at great material cost and keeping collective trauma safely ensconced in unquestioned 'comfort zones'*) the bets that the perimeter remains inviolable and bonds are honoured we just shift the taxburden to everybody. this contradicts the many are called few chosen, much tried little succeeds doctrine and approaches the omniangle cover all centrality tries for.

After big bail outs all get to work off crimes a mere few commited instead of all profiting from those disCERN n earn-a-lotters whose sole ambition, pride and joy, hence highest reward is not those faux bets with nothing but a growing swirl of plastic debris# to show for them, but instead, as they should be, ARE in line with sphere of influence - satisfactory approval easily readable on every square unit you care to measure within it by simply observing animals. I was in Tessin on a once rich grazing and collecting (maroni) slope with a stag doing his 'where's the party, goddammit!' call, which of course set off a refinement in my thoughts on money and/vs coin of the realm (rockdust). If this confuses anybody they have but to search out my thoughts on Cernunnos and the bags of coins he empties into the grounds around him&.

Great Galactic Ghoul comments on his post
"Homophonic Induction and the Homunculus":

Well I've studied in Costa Rica, Morocco, Venezuela, Alaska, etc. Marx was right about "primitive accumulation." Whether global warming is natural or not is irrelevant because humans are part of nature. That's the deeper issue -- humanity coming to terms with accepting that Nature is in control. The global warming models rely on quantum chaos -- it's discrete math whereby the computers provide the "logic." Obviously computers don't care if humans survive or not -- in fact the math has been that way since it was created -- what I call the "surplus value of consciousness."

So the ecological crisis is real only as a mirror of technology as the religion of humanity. We want more and better technology and therefore the ecological crisis will get worse and then we'll need more technology to "save the planet." Humans are replacing themselves by machines -- based on incorrect logic about infinity. This is a Western process (since 10,000 BCE) -- so those on the periphery of the empire have known this for centuries. Now we are experiencing what I call "Imperial Implosion."


Piet:

into the sixth minute of a fast paced image sequence from a wide range of movies

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=966VUOaJ5sQ

we hear the narrator speak of theories* about alledged plans (of the hegemonic pop control variety) behind those trying to convince us we have a climate emergency on our hands.

* - trans- or 'intergenocidal' ..4 google results..

As Steve (the maker of that youtube linked at the start, his user nick is soundlessdawn) says that 'the keys are in our hands' he shows some young person blowing away a 2 legged fishlike creature .. so ... he is in need of the ideas i try in vain to distribute ..so far i have some footage of a jaw crusher but instead of me showing within 5 miles of a rainbow gathering in an 18 wheeler loaded with fruit seed soil dust and fabric, sieves, pumps and hose .. as i had expected to be able to by now back in the eighties, i see a bunch of youtubes with paranoid FS officials using their tasers and peppersprayguns in 'kid village'. Mmmmm, maybe that is why i have started to study the schitsoiddity of Charles Manson that bad boy antichrist.

After a longer comment on Steve and his buddy Jake Kotze that i wrote yesterday but cannot access now i concluded these guys are so busy showing how everything is connected (by evil intent trying to prepare for the inevitable, losing the kind of control they foster and cherish) that they forget to leave hollywood fantasyland and look at some real scenes (the attempt to tie in extremely large scale and far off phenoms, like the midgalactic barrage of particle accelerator like photon belt doesn't help any in that regard).

The solution is similar to the parallel ones in economics. One can not and certainly not in a swell foop or revo type toss .. get rid of systemic problems but one can argue against it all using humility and common sense, fighting back we win one meme, one mind, one channel, one certain program fanset, one province, one hearer- and/or viewership at a time. These patterns have their own gears and resonances. Pacifists must believe in volition and voluntarizing cause it is the best tool in their box.

So, qua climate, take care of your microclimate, a scale on which climatechange is palpable quite rapidly .. though not as rapidly as that Paul Laffoley asserts in the rustbelt films flick* and take every chance you get to widen it without neglecting it plant such a more and mode far and wide.

This is where my wound gulf rift split sits. Right in my homeless Wanderschaft (wandershipshopshaper, bragger, phantasmic music(x) searcher and recognizer chasin that musical rockgrinder ...down .... the road .... again ... still).

(x) - "music phantoms" “Music Phantoms: Uncanned Conceptions of Music from Josephine the Singer to Mickey Mouse.” SubStance 58 (1989): 3-24.

In economics i have tried to do my bits raising awareness levels of cooperative, communicative versions of capitalism through self help schemes that can start as modestly as gardening by collecting info on complementary or community currencies.

Not that, again, i have even joined any of them very closely.

the most outrageous remarks ever recorded out of PL's mouth, starting with his tensigrity construct ideas for a line to the moon .. made out of sand so we don't interfere with radiation.

Paul articulates this (death/posthum((on))gous)wish:

pour the studio he spent a bigger percent of time than the best hermit in the most irresistable of caves, full of lucite, allow time to dry and shoot into space as a way to honour how paul feels when he is working.


So how does that German M Werner (breatharian in the dailymail, link at Drew's - or dru's as his gnn.tv account has it) manage to do all that circulation ... unconsciously? Is he a natural?

Is that like not needing to circulate airbubbles (big ones up and tiny ones down as wessel di wesseli does or wants to do rather) with cumbersome constructions that break down and wear out but still get energy to run computers and stuff??

Men in chains 3
Livy’s history was the hunt and peck book for generations of philosophes. Machiavelli wrote his discourses about it; Montesquieu studied it for L’esprit de lois; and, I’d contend, Rousseau opens his Du Contrat Social, an essay that begins with an epigraph from the Aeneid, with a reference to it: “L'homme est né libre, et partout il est dans les fers.” As LI has been pointing out (with my usual autistic artistry, winding theme around theme) in my Man in Chains posts, the chain looms large in the history of freedom – and it seems that the ideologues of freedom have been a little too hasty in consigning the chain to the figurative, all the better to speak of freedom as a matter of will, or of rights. But the figurative does seem to operate a return of the repressed, a memory of irons, of yokes, of chains, which runs through Rousseau’s essay and contacts the plebian notion of freedom, as expressed in such fons et origo texts as Livy’s history.
In George Dow’s Slave Ships and Slaving, there’s an account by J.B. Romagne of life aboard La Rodeur, a slave ship that entered the Calabar river in 1819, and loaded up with Africans, intending to sell them in Guadaloupe. This was life in the chains completely:
“ Since we have been at this place, Bonny Town in the Bonny river, on the coagt of Africa, I have become more accustomed to the howling of these Negroes. At first, it alarmed me, and I could not sleep. The Captain says that if they behave well they will be much better off at Guadaloupe; and I am sure, I wish the ignorant creatures would come quietly and have it over. Today, one of the blacks whom they were forcing into the hold, suddenly knocked down a sailor and attempted to leap overboard. He was caught, however, by the leg by another of the crew, and the sailor, rising up in a passion, hamstrung him with a cutlass. The Captain, seeing this, knocked the butcher flat upon the deck with a handspike. “I will teach you to keep your temper’, said he, with an oath. “He was the best slave in the lot.’ I ran to the main chains and looked over; for they had dropped the black into the sea when they saw that he was useless. He continued to swim, even after he ahd sunk under the water, for I saw the red track extending shoreward; but by and by, it stopped, widened, faded, and I saw it no more. ”
Dow records an auction of items ‘suitable for a Guinea voyage’, held at the Merchant’s Coffee house:
One iron furnace and copper, 27 cases with bottles, 83 pairs of shackles, 11 neck collars, 22 handcuffs for the traveling chain, 4 long chains for slaves, 54 rings, 2 travelling chains, 1 corn mill 7 four pound basons, 6 two pound basons, 3 brass pans, etc., etc.” … In Livy, Book 2, a section is devoted to the first secession of the Plebs – which forms the background, incidentally, to Shakespeare’s Coriolanus – which occurred as the plebians and the patricians fought over liberty in the city after the successful conclusion of three small wars, the final one against the Volscians. The disturbances in the city, according to Livy, were always about the same thing – debt. The first story that gives rise to uproar is this one:
“An old man, bearing visible proofs of all the evils he had suffered, suddenly appeared in the Forum. His clothing was covered with filth, his personal appearance was made still more loathsome by a corpse-like pallor and emaciation, his unkempt beard and hair made him look like a savage. In spite of this disfigurement he was recognised by the pitying bystanders; they said that he had been a centurion, and mentioned other military distinctions he possessed. He bared his breast and showed the scars which witnessed to many fights in which he had borne an honourable part. The crowd had now almost grown to the dimensions of an Assembly of the people. He was asked, `Whence came that garb, whence that disfigurement?' He stated that whilst serving in the Sabine war he had not only lost the produce of his land through the depredations of the enemy, but his farm had been burnt, all his property plundered, his cattle driven away, the war-tax demanded when he was least able to pay it, and he had got into debt. This debt had been vastly increased through usury and had stripped him first of his father's and grandfather's farm, then of his other property, and at last like a pestilence had reached his person. He had been carried off by his creditor, not into slavery only, but into an underground workshop, a living death. Then he showed his back scored with recent marks of the lash.
On seeing and hearing all this a great outcry arose; the excitement was not confined to the Forum, it spread every where throughout the City. Men who were in bondage for debt and those who had been released rushed from all sides into the public streets and invoked `the protection of the Quirites.' The formula in which a man appealed to his fellow-citizens for help." ----
Livy mixes news of the wars with news of the uproars of the plebians. Finally a dictator was chosen, and the Volscians were defeated. But still there was debt, the increasing power of the creditors over the debtors.
“The moneylenders possessed such influence and had taken such skillful precautions that they rendered the commons and even the Dictator himself powerless. After the consul Vetusius had returned, Valerius introduced, as the very first business of the senate, the treatment of the men who had been marching to victory, and moved a resolution as to what decision they ought to come to with regard to the debtors. His motion was negatived, on which he said, `I am not acceptable as an advocate of concord. Depend upon it, you will very soon wish that the Roman plebs had champions like me. As far as I am concerned, I will no longer encourage my fellow-citizens in vain hopes nor will I be Dictator in vain. Internal dissensions and foreign wars have made this office necessary to the commonwealth; peace has now been secured abroad, at home it is made impossible. I would rather be involved in the revolution as a private citizen than as Dictator.' So saying, he left the House and resigned his dictatorship. The reason was quite clear to the plebs; he had resigned office because he was indignant at the way they were treated.”
It was then that the plebians made the famous decision to withdraw in a body from Rome. The patricians sent Menenius Agrippa, to address them, “an eloquent man, and acceptable to the plebs as being himself of plebeian origin. He was admitted into the camp, and it is reported that he simply told them the following fable in primitive and uncouth fashion. `In the days when all the parts of the human body were not as now agreeing together, but each member took its own course and spoke its own speech, the other members, indignant at seeing that everything acquired by their care and labour and ministry went to the belly, whilst it, undisturbed in the middle of them, did nothing but enjoy the pleasures provided for it, entered into a conspiracy; the hands were not to bring food to the mouth, the mouth was not to accept it when offered, the teeth were not to masticate it. Whilst, in their resentment, they were anxious to coerce the belly by starving it, the members themselves wasted away, and the whole body was reduced to the last stage of exhaustion. Then it became evident that the belly rendered no idle service, and the nourishment it received was no greater than that which it bestowed by returning to all parts of the body this blood by which we live and are strong, equally distributed into the veins, after being matured by the digestion of the food.' By using this comparison, and showing how the internal disaffection amongst the parts of the body resembled the animosity of the plebeians against the patricians, he succeeded in winning over his audience.”
Thus, the famous apology of Menenius Agrippa. It is striking to me that the stomach, which is described as the hub of the body – it returns nourishment by way of blood to all parts of the body – is maintained by the chain-like actions of the body’s ‘accidents’, its minors, its rude mechanicals – Hands to mouth, teeth to mouth, mouth to stomach. Here the body divides into two, one part of which is linked together by a chain of debt that must be paid to support the other part, the center and hub. An invisible chain links together all those acts by which we survive, and the body’s possibles – its particulars, its bits – become, each separately, slaves, insofar as the slave is defined, practically, as the one who is in irons. Until, of course, we are useless: “…for I saw the red track extending shoreward; but by and by, it stopped, widened, faded, and I saw it no more”

Avoiding this sort of suffering, of course, is part of the reason why civilised societies had provisions in their slave laws preventing slaves being freed against their will, so that those who became useless wouldn't be turned out to perish (the other part being, to minimise slave unrest at the prospect).

roger said... Since in all Southern states in the U.S., blacks could not testify in court, leaves sort of a big gap in the law, don't you think? Making one suspect that such laws were for show - just as the 1685 code noir in Saint-Domingue contained a host of provisions forbidding most of the practices that were routine on Haitian sugar plantation until overturned by the successful expulsion of the whites.
It is amazing what a hollow shell laws become in a l'univers concentrationaire.
9:05 PM
P.M.Lawrence said... No, the laws were not for show; they had the practical purpose and real achievement of reducing slave unrest. There was a slave revolt in the British West Indies because of the threat of emancipation, until the transitional tutelage arrangements were made clear. Granted, just such destitution was thrust upon the coolies that had replaced those slaves, when the indenture system was reformed out from under them without the final gratuity or passage home they would have received at the normal end of their indentures (as recorded by V.S.Naipaul), but as Winston Churchill remarked, it would have been a terminological inexactitude to call them slaves - so, there was no reason for them to get slavery's benefits.
Even Islam had such laws; Burton explains them in a footnote clarifying something... odd... in the Tale of the Third (? uncertain) Eunuch, when that unfortunate explained how he came into his estate while a slave boy. After greatly harming and offending his master, the master decided he was more trouble than he was worth and proposed turning him loose. The slave reminded his master that he couldn't do it without consent (here fell the footnote), so the master simply bludgeoned him unconscious and sent for a barber who, doubling as a surgeon, castrated the unconscious boy.
Now, I know we cannot take a story as an authority in itself, but this was supporting background material to add verisimilitude; we can take it that Islam would not be surprised at beating a slave unconscious and castrating him, or that this should seem more lawful and practical than freeing him against his will, the simpler, cheaper and otherwise preferable alternative.

roger said... Yes, the laws were for show. Evidence from the British caribbean in the shadow of looming emancipation notwithstanding, the Southern slave codes were a farce, the code noir was systematically flouted in the greatest slave factory in the Western Hemisphere, Saint-Domingue, and Arab slavery is a vast subject about which there are varying codes and customs. Orlando Patterson presents the authoritative account of manumission in Slavery and Social Death - but the logic of your position, I have to say, is a little absurd. Of course, the slave who was freed would have a hard time compared to the peasant because in most of the world up until very recently, one depended on one's family as one got older. And guess what? The slave's family was either - in slavery in the neighborhood, in slavery far distant from the slave, or in Africa. So the argument is, of course, pretty absurd to begin with.
Not all slave systems were meat factories like the Saint-Domingue plantation system, but all slave systems depended much less on unenforceable law and much more on economic rationality and conventions that would shame the slave owner. And even those were weak - Robert E. Lee's family, for instance, were known as---- "good" ----masters, but they didn't hesistate to sell their slaves when they needed money to slavetraders who sold them West.
7:09 AM
P.M.Lawrence said... Sigh.
In general, when masters went beyond what the law allowed, which of course they were tempted to do, they were throwing a cost on the wider public. Slave laws were often ineffective, for that reason - but still valuable for the society that had slaves, by minimising the trouble having them around caused. There was a public interest in enforcing them, even if that was often difficult; they were not adopted for show but for public order, just ineffective in many cases. And, of course, different societies had different systems; Roman slaves were even entitled to pay they could save towards buying their freedom, the---- "peculium". Consider what would have happened in a Roman household that withheld this...
Unlike other parts of the slave codes, there was a feature to the provisions against involuntary emancipation that made them enforceable: the victims were not slaves in a position where their masters could control any justice that could reach them. Furthermore, there was a constituency that objected to slaves being freed when they were no longer of use: those who feared having them around if they were ineligible for relief, and who feared paying for relief if they were. (This, of course, is largely why places like Virginia required free blacks to leave, while free states like Illinois were reluctant to have them arrive.)
The argument is not an absurdity; it is a real consequence of a system then obtaining. If absurdity there be, it lies in the system, not in what I present. Emancipation could harm its recipients. Not only did this befall the coolies I mentioned, missionaries described it among former convicts in French Guiana; convicts feared freedom at the end of a long sentence, from seeing the plight of these libérés (who were still confined to the colony but no longer receiving even the poor board and lodging of convicts), and they feared doublage, an administrative punishment doubling their sentences that prevented them being able bodied at the end of their sentences. There was nothing absurd about freedom being a threat to some slaves.
2:02 AM
roger said... Nothing absurd in individual cases, but the case you are making makes little sense, Mr. Lawrence. As long as a slave is vendable, there is a huge hole in the notion that the involuntary emancipation of slaves was a problem. Since they could be sold, those who resist emancipation could simply be stuffed in the pipeline. And the sales, in the American case, tended to be westward. Why? Because the slave system became rougher and less selective as you moved west. Thus, a slave that, for instance, didn't want to be separated from his family and 'resisted' emancipation could easily be dealt with by the next slave trader that came along.
Emancipation would have contingent casualties, of that you are no doubt correct, but the casualties would not be the result of some human slave code being annulled, but of improvisational master-slave arrangements being disturbed - quite a different thing. Your example from Guiana is a perfect example of why an argument that singles out a humanistic strain in a code without examining the code in context is a poor use of analytic energy - it is reminiscent of the Stalin era practice of giving---- "pardons" ----to convicts who---- "volunteered" ----to continue working on convict labor projects. Freedom, here, simply names another form of punishment.
9:54 AM
P.M.Lawrence said... "...the case you are making makes little sense..." ----How so? If you are suggesting there is some internal contradiction, what is it? If some discrepancy with observation, what? But if you are simply stating that it is contrary to common sense or something of that sort, you are making theory trump fact.
"As long as a slave is vendable..." ----- who said they were, at any rate at a price to cover transaction costs? Slavery in England was abolished after a court case in which a visitor from overseas turned a sick slave out, but tried to reclaim him after a kind stranger looked after him and brought him back to health.
"Your example from Guiana is a perfect example..." ----Which example? I cited both French and British Guiana, in the convicts and the coolies. French Guiana lacked such provisions, and British Guiana had only had slave codes for slaves. Those examples were to highlight the chronic problems that arose from not having similar provisions for things that were not technically slavery; they are a reference comparison. You accurately condemn the improvisational problems, failing to note that these cases contrast with those where slave codes had such arrangements, they do not illustrate what happened when they were in place.
8:21 PM
roger said... Mr. Lawrence, your example of the abolition of slavery in England doesn't have to do with slave codes, but with the abolition of slavery, as you yourself say - the enforcement of a code that brings about the abolition of the object of the code is a very odd code indeed. The enforcement of laws concerning speed limits do not bring about the abolition of driving.
However, we are getting somewhere. Your case from England seems to demonstrate that either the slave system is such that slaves can be sold - in which case slave codes can be easily flouted - or not, in which case the inadequacy of the slave code is such that slavery itself is abolished. The system would make no sense, from the slaveholder's point of view, if the slaveholder were forced to feed and care for slaves against his or her will.
To understand the slave systems in the new world, the key is that the slave can be sold. In geographically smaller societies, such as Trinidad, selling slaves was not the threat that it was in, say, Georgia, but it was an element that governed the features of slave families - which is why, in fact, in Saint-Domingue the domestic supply of slaves was never adequate. Women had no reason to have children, and would try as much as they could to abort them, unless they escaped to a Maroon society.
The Spanish code was generally considered the most humane, but it was modified or simply ignored in high profit areas, such as Cuba. The British, notoriously, when they took Trinidad from the Spanish, introduced their own code, which abolished the Spanish route to manumission for slaves - they could no longer purchase their freedom - and fined planters if, for instance, they did not make their slaves work on Saturdays. As A. Meredith John points out in a study of Trinidad demography, under the new British code---- "led to the deterioration of the conditions that the slaves had enjoyed under Spanish law." ----In the British and American systems in particular, manumission became much rarer.
But, you might say, ah ha, the Spanish code then was this humane system, thus showing that civilized human beings did modify the slave system. But only when the system was small, as in Trinidad, and only so long as the produce of slave labor did not lead to great wealth for the planters. Hugh Thomas, in his history of Cuba, reports that the 1789 code, which was the same humane code that worked in Trinidad, was a---- "dead letter" ----in Cuba.---- "instruction in the Catholic religion and attendance of priests on feast days; the proportion of men to women and hours and years of work; the punishment and the health provisions - all these were ignored." ----As Thomas points out, the slave code was even published in Cuba because the slave owners were afraid the slaves might see it.
7:43 AM
P.M.Lawrence said... "Mr. Lawrence, your example of the abolition of slavery in England doesn't have to do with slave codes, but with the abolition of slavery, as you yourself say" ----- No!
I did not give an example of the abolition of slavery in England, I gave an example of the events that led to the abolition of slavery in England, to illustrate that when there were no effective provisions against involuntary emancipation, it could indeed happen that slaves were freed against their wills rather than being sold somewhere. It is a counter-example refuting your assertion about that. I have been trying to penetrate your blind spot in this matter, what some have called---- "invincible ignorance".
As for---- "Your case from England seems to demonstrate that either the slave system is such that slaves can be sold... or not, in which case the inadequacy of the slave code is such that slavery itself is abolished", that is a false dichotomy. That is how things played out in that time and place, but it is quite clearly not enough to generalise from like that.
"The system would make no sense, from the slaveholder's point of view, if the slaveholder were forced to feed and care for slaves against his or her will" ----- you are applying a micro rather than a macro measure. It did indeed make sense to have such arrangements, because the usual case was that a parcel of slaves remained more valuable in aggregate when those who became useless were cared for - carrot was cheaper than stick. Think of it as a form of social security at plantation level.
The rest is accurate, but remains a digression; accuracy does not save it from being a digression. (For what it's worth, codes of the late 18th century, when adopted, were often adopted for show by the adopters, but on the one hand those who enacted them meant them, and on the other hand places like Mauritius and Réunion cared so little for show that they were provoked into rebellion rather than adopt them - hypocrisy just wasn't that compelling.)
You might like to read the introductory part of Nassau Senior's work on Wages, available on the internet, where he goes into the economics of slave areas. It gives some useful background. We know from history that the usual evolution was away from chattel slavery, via serfdom where people were attached to the land (and could be supported in infirmity by their neighbours, but not evicted in practice), to landlordism in which they could be evicted more easily. Slavery made more sense when free labour could conveniently set up on its own (which led to reaching a modus vivendi with maroons, escaped slaves and their descendants who had done just that, to kick the ladder away after them and - poacher turned gamekeeper - keep out later runaways), and landlordism made more sense when free labour had to take what was offered - and then, less explicit stick being needed, less carrot was justified. In his North America Trollope records that custom had brought Kentucky to the middle stage by the time of the American Civil War.

wow, just wrote this as the 155th draft .. . .

what synchrony with Saddam being seal 155 and missing also .. . .irretriebably? Not if you go by Jose Arguelles, entirely in sync with what the boulevard press folks choose to focus on (visit http://www.lawoftime.org to see for yourself).

HELP ME RETRIEVE MISSING FILES (19 of them made in 2005 and posted to the 'domain' http://members.lycos.nl/vadercats now defunct except for the front page restarted a third time after discovering the missing files and trying to reason with Lycos ... about as impossible as reviving Saddam i guess).

Just commented this at Hyperstition:
"… to steal sd's term, is the hunger for an unambiguous casus belli, consolidating itself as a virtual mega-atrocity against 'oneself'."

Riiite, well, my host, the owner of the terminal i worked from a lot in 2005 threw out all my maps from that year, the ones left afte i caved in to her nagging about space and i went to make backups on usb of sight and sound so i could schlepp 'm to the Resuckle Bin. You are saying i did that and i am in denial instead of her? Possible i suppose... ..

Took me all this time before i went and looked at saves stuff to take stock of my efforts.

ps: anybody save the files i made that year someplace retrievable? Even google doesn't seem to remember what logbriefer meant to the crowd that spammed me into a rank 4 position. Good for all involved no doubt, yet i feel a nagging loss.

The disk on which said atrocity took place has been defragmented a lot since, does that means the free data recovery from places such as http://hiren.info are gonna be no good?

Here's a large series of parade pictures from Bern Switserland; about a hundred lefties with slogans such as 'rich hearts instead of fat profit' and the like leftoid 'catextoskism', .. .as if money shouldn't or can't or won't again be what enriches the heart as the means that makes matter and spirit meet and bond in the middle as heart and soul.

I wrote words to that effect in response to folks ganging up to oust www.weidenhof.de (from the rainbow list in german) for asking a fee upfront in case one would like to make use of the meticulously clean and dustfree accomodation. A hysterical reaction since there is a vast amount of room to do the rainbow family thing next to and all around it.

Same, however, applies to my objections regarding their plans to have firewalks across or next to the 'sacred' fire planned there this month.

Turns out John Ray's vocal opposition still has people that say the same things JR used to except now there are many and pretty popular descendants from his barbaric point holding techniques (I include Reiki, Quantum Touch and lots of those feminine typ therapies).



Now if you were to go down life's walks and styles depicted on the right hand side in the scheme depicted in the post previous to this one (at indexterity) you'd see what i doubt the chinese drone swarmclone will ever be capable of (without some/your? help; so why don't you smuggle these pictures and everything they stand for into the Chinese daily nick):

After seeing the few versions of this (quite illumating schema, diagram, divide, call to justice and decision regards the paths of life and the hi-ways to hell, this ultimate origin of ethos, piety and common sense) quietly disappear from the net over the last few years, I must break my long blogsilence and put up the one i saved (would love to credit (and converse with) the artist but can't even mention the url i found it at and saved it from (9/5 at 9.55) .

The course of conduct (walk of lif) polarization depicted .. . led up to Marx's pronouncement: 'we are all jewish now' and it's quietly adopted successor: 'we are all capitalists now', (specially after all testy flesh was spent in the world wars). The follow-ups of recent years (as the walls, gaps, gulfs and chasms grew, cleaved and yawned wider respectively) have become (correspondingly) more pronounced (in rapid succesion: 'we are all palestinians now' , 'we are all terrorists now') and prompt me to now offer a grand unified theory of psycho schlock value (that will be shamelessly exploited without a thankyou no doubt, mind you, google doesn't register even a single instance of): 'we are all schizophrenic now' ('- did not match any documents.').

kotsko replaces yesterday's conversation with half a year old one

Well, ain't we happy to have preserved a few comments (posted earlier today/below).

Here's an earlier edition of the etre (eternal return . .. lbo discussion 'sein' as Heidegger saw it, a toothless stein I bet):

adamkotsko.com/weblog/..

as I'm sure patrick mullins will agree, it is scarcely evident that the Troll of Sorrow's openly racist, gay hating, woman hating, humanity hating remarks are actually anywhere near as irritating and annoying as the politely, genteelly, properly and delicately worded racism, homophobia, misogyny and antihumanity discourse that accounts for 90% of what is considered the model in blog decorum. Welcoming the naked wolf to the room full of his brothers in sheep's clothing would not seem to do much damage to the tone of the environment;, and may very well be constructive, ashis company often lures his fellows out from under their wool caps.A strong reaction to this discourse might indicate some anxiety about its appeal.One needs to look closer. You wonder if you should not guard Jewish friends from antisemitism. But of course the sound of antisemitism can be more painful to gentiles who are not antisemites, or who fear they may be, than to Jews. I find some racisms - those presently more dangerous to all of us, to humanity than antisemitism - more painful to hear than antisemitism, because they are the growls of bigger beasts right now, and if you think anti-arab racism is not going to bite you, because you are not an arab, you're quite wrong. It as already bitten; it is going to tear you up.There is something unexamined and knee jerk about this: an idea that the 'line' is clear. If it is a question of explicitness, then yes, there probably is a border everyone can agree on roughly. But surely is can't be a question of explcitiness, of vulgarity. The non explicit, the hidden, the assured, the unconscious, the racist reflexes of 'common sense,' the self-congratulatory 'tolerance' of those who believe themselves free of racism, etc etc., is the more dangerous discourse right now. In these environs, anyhow.My first day at the office in Prague on a consultancy, there was a swastika graffitied on the door. We were an imperialist mission, conquering the media. Were they calling us Nazis? Or Jews? I'd have been interested in finding out. alphonsevanworden Email Homepage 10.06.05 - 4:06 pm http://lecolonelchabert.blogspot.com
