The King is Naked: Doubting Democracy, Security, Terrorism, Independence and Orders, asking questions, trying to obey the Self since 1974

THE KING IS NAKED

28 August 2008

SELF versus GREED

This a set of plain questions about democracy, self, security, doubt, order, government, freedom, fascism, imagination, terrorists, terror, terrorism, borders, taxes, double standard, compulsion, justice, advertisement, imagination, consumption, dreams, taking for granted, new slavery and new slaves, the State, and about the State again, anarchy, education, knowledge, science, religion, laws, police, army, defense and you. Why not call things by their proper names?

If you are accustomed to obeying orders, here we go: DOUBT EVERY WORD ON THIS PAGE! Disagree. Mock. Swear. Hate. Make your own website. Just don't be quiet. It's your silent consent that makes the world go revolving not on your terms.

When you disagree, speak up. When you are tired of circumstances, take responsibility. When you don't know, say "I don't know".

Hear and trust your Self. Whatever happens to you here on Earth, is only a dream of yourself. If you don't succeed here, You will merely wake up where You really are all this time. Living your own life is relatively easy when you come to understand that the only worthy fear is the fear of deceiving yourself. True terrorism is rejecting your desires for someone else's.

Following the links placed on the surface of this page, you will be presented with battles of Self vs Terrorism, Personality vs Traditions, Laws vs Justice and Freedom vs Slavery.

SELF versus

…COMPULSION

An Example:
Biological relatives are not necessarily the best people in your life.
You owe nothing to nobody, even though you are taught the opposite.
Ethical guidelines, moral foundations, age-old traditions are chains invented by one person for his sheep and spreaded my millions out of sheer blindness.
The only authority is your Self, remember?

Education is a substitute for knowledge. Democracy is an illusion of individual control.

Scientists do the thinking for you. Funny they all think in two directions:
1. "You always needed those newest armor-piercing missiles, right? RIGHT?!"
2. "You always needed this hi-tech super-shmuper washing machine with a built-in vacuum cleaner, right? RIGHT?!"

Then there are the taste guardians.
Nobody believes you have a head, heart and preferences of your own.
Or worse: that you do, but they are not sensitive enough.
So you notice the "Alternative Nation" on MTV.
It's like Saudi Arabia promoting solar power-driven automobiles worldwide.
To be on the safe side, Johnses are told that X is cool—who knows, maybe you are into the competition thing?
It helps develop the happiness in the State.
That is, the happiness of the State, not its citizens.
Let them bury themselves: your Self knows what you like and what you don't.Just don't be ashamed to admit it and keep searching for what you really like while you're alive.

Again, doubt everything. Dissect every advertisment. Exploit imagination. Breathe deeply and ask your Self what it needs.

Nobody said it's easy.
Doubt plus imagination mean progress. Thus the skill of doubting is the first victim of the education.
Inborn imagination follows.
You are unevitably taught to doubt and invent—but safely, within the same good old maze.
Such toothless progress contributes to longevity of the State.
Without doubt and imagination, how would scientists degrade from spears to ICBM?

But there is a different kind of doubt that no education can slaughter.
It reads: "Do I personally benefit from this order?"

You see, the only universal Good is only that which makes you feel better.

…LAWS
Justice and laws are not devised to come in pair—they are fire and water, either/or. Justice is for humans, laws are for lawyers.

Human laws mean double standard.
Laws are invented and maintained to defend your masters from you.
Courts are invented and maintained to defend your masters from you.
The police are there to keep you in line and defend your masters from you.
All of the above - at your expense.


Which justice do they refer to if there are laws and courts all over the world?
The police are meant for humiliating and mutilating, but somehow your Minister of Interior is not in jail.
Army is meant for killing and pillaging, but somehow your Defense Minister is not in jail.

Human laws are only words. They protect nobody. Protection is performed by Army and police.
How many of these do you own?
The State, on the other hand, owns all of them.
Not for your protection: for your domestication.
Remember Waco? Some evil terrorists they were, right? RIGHT?!

Here's what the Google returns to "define terrorism" query:
Terrorism, as defined by the FBI, is "the unlawful use of force against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population or any segment thereof, in the furtherance of political or social objectives". This definition includes three elements: (1) Terrorist activities are illegal and involve the use of force. (2) The actions are intended to intimidate or coerce. (3) The actions are committed in support of political or social objectives.

Number one easily covers the State: it has army and police—groups of armed people always ready to hurt, humiliate and destroy people's possessions and lives. Besides, the State allows itself to keep a person in jail and does not bother to clarify the reasons behind the tax policies, that is, your money is plainly stolen. This is illegal, isn't it?

Number two: look at any news source: it's all about security, terrorists and peace, which reasonably implies war. If it's not intimidation, then this concept should be erased from the conscience.

Third: obviously, every political force dreams of reigning forever in order to squeeze the most money out of a country. (Who in his sound mind would consider taking a nation-wide responsibility for nothing in return?) Thus every law is passed and broken for the highest ideal of domineering.

In democratic States, everyone is free to think unanimously.

…SLAVERY
But wait, the State cannot be democratic.
"Democratic State" sounds like "printer with shredding post-processor".

Let's see:
How many taxes do you control?
When was the last time a city was brought to a halt by your visit?
When was the last time you announced war on another State?..
...and your government sent their kids to die for your decision?
How often do you address most of your compatriots on TV?(Pretend that you want to.)
How many laws did you pass lately?
How many of the laws passed annualy you would cancel?
Is it OK to amend the Contitution?
Rewrite it altogether, perhaps?
When was the last time you were elected your own representative in the Parliament of your State?
Why don't they finally do something with this drug trade? With those advertisements everywhere?
Perhaps, they have their share?
Why are you called "one nation", when a handful of people own mansions, and working folks have nothing?
What kind of unity is this?

Every democratic State is actually fascist and/or a terrorist one. All citizens slave for the handful of military equipment (weapons) producers.

Military equipment producers produce military equipment or weapons—for what?
To use or to sell it, there's no third option. Thus they need a market.
Military equipment (weapons) is produced, sold, bought and used by the military.
That is, the military are selling themselves the equipment (weapons) they produce.
Wait, but what are you doing in the middle?You pay the bills of the military without actually getting anything. Next time they make a deal in the opposite direction you will pay for it again.

You pay willingly. After all, the military (and police, and all of the agencies) protect you from something evil! Like terrorists, separatists, religious fanatics and rebels. You know it from the TV, Internet and newspapers. Wait, have you seen the Terminator or Jurassic park? All those beasts are quite real. Not less than the terrorists.

The more restricting the State, the more it frightens its citizens and the more 'enemies' it has. However, this greed also helps make slavery extremely obvious.

Unfortunately, for citizens to comprehend the fascist nature of "democracy", the State needs to be in constant state of war.
For the enemy, it is enough to exist only on your TV screens. Scary, right? RIGHT?!

Terrorists are those who create myths of terrorists: that is media, security, military industry, government.
In short, the State.
Well, we all have governments we deserve. No wonder: we're still holding a candle to them.

Read Thoreau "On the duty of civil disobedience".

No, wait! Don't read Thoreau.
In fact, you are the only Thoreau you need.




Sleeping with the Matrix:
there's more to life than being a hero of your Self's dreams.
Why not transfer your mind into the Self — and become You?

Rocking the cart of consumption that we're all in has never been so much fun!Imagine that you're in a dream. You can feel scared to death, but cannot run when you need to. One moment you're flying, the other your own scream wakes you up. Now you're in jail; the next second you're presented with the most beautiful view from a mountain that "does not exist". Sometimes you know it's a dream; sometimes you don't.
Imagine that you could take control of your dream.
Your waking life is nothing but a dream of your Self. Sometimes you're sure it's not a dream, but sometimes you see everything correctly. You wake up once in 70-80 years, smack your lips, turn to the other side and go on sleeping. Millenia after millenia, your Self yearns in a chaotic nightmare of the 9-to-5 schedule.
