The Coming of the Cosmic Agents

In The Matrix, Anderson knows he’s being watched, followed, and when the agents come to his job, he knows they’re after him for proscribed activity.  They’re bad guys.

The Cosmic Agents that are coming to rectify our situation now are not bad guys.  The only ones who think they’re the bad guys are the actual bad guys.  Bad guys think good guys are bad guys, right?

A Vampire Squid thinks Lloyd Bridges and Jacques Cousteau are evil.

The Koch Brothers and Big Coal (and their minions, like Marsha Blackburn) think Al Gore is Snidely Whiplash.

The new Agents are different though.

The new Agents are coming to restore a healthy balance in nature, justice among mankind, and peace over the earth for everybody.  They will do it out of knowledge of what is good and righteous, and their ability to carry that out–not on the basis of what benefits one group or sub-group of the population.  We can no longer perform evil deeds while making the excuse, “I didn’t know!”

The cosmic consensus of righteousness and love exists independently of what we (think we) know or don’t know.  The coming Cosmic Agents will uphold the truth independently of us.  It will no longer matter whether we believe or know the truth.

The Smartest Animal

When I was a child my parents took (all of ) us to the Washington Zoo during one of our famous family vacation by station wagon trips.

In those days, the pens and cages had plaques that identified the animal by species and by their place in the order of animals, ie. fastest, biggest, hungriest, longest, etc…

At an empty pen with the plaque, “The Most Intelligent Animal,” there was a small mirror.

We have to restore the consciousness of truth and self-honesty in ourselves like we used to do in our children.  We may be the victims of our own errors, not because we don’t know the truth, but because we are unwilling to accept it.  The Agents will uphold the truth whether we are willing to accept responsibility for it or not.

The Good News

The Agents are already here, and many more are coming very soon.  The true change the world has been waiting for is beginning now.

The Cosmic Agents cannot be stopped, for they are empowered by the Universe itself.  They have already begun to set everything right.  Truth demands righteousness.  It is infallible.

That’s why the Agents coming to set everything right are already here and the change is begun for good now.

What the Moonlight Whispered

Is that America I hear, singing?

It’s hard to resist titling something before I write because the cursor is in the title box when the page opens. Some people put the title in and then change it after they write the piece. I try to put nothing in until I finish writing, then put some smart, summarial title in.  Instead, I forget to put in a title or forget to change it at the end, as the case may be. Loretta never misses an opportunity to tell me I’m getting older. I forget things every day.

Sometimes now when I think about our plan to move upstate and live with animals and a small farm, I sort of look back, casually, almost blankly, at the last 30 years, like I’m looking back over my shoulder for something I just passed walking down the street.

All of humanity is teeming with the electronic vibration of music and language and consciousness now.   Everything is happening now.  Everyone is singing together, I hear.  The song is moving high above us all, and down here among us a little bit, too.  The song is leading us.  We never go anywhere without it.

Although now the song is a secret to all the world, hiding in plain hearing, right in the middle of our consciousness.  We hear it, but we don’t hear it, see it, but we don’t see it, know it, but we don’t know it.  It is ours and we don’t even know it, don’t even believe in our song.

That’s so pathetic:  to be one with the song of the cosmos and not even know or believe in it!

Reading with fear: the sudden chill down the spine

Man, this iteration really got through to me because it was careful, repetitive, explicit.

I wasn’t expecting to run into “Fear Of Violence” in my own consciousness, but that’s what happened.

The post-totalitarian system touches people at every step, but it does so with its ideological gloves on. This is why life in the system is so thoroughly permeated with hypocrisy and lies: government by bureaucracy is called popular government; the working class is enslaved in the name of the working class; the complete degradation of the individual is presented as his ultimate liberation; depriving people of information is called making it available; the use of power to manipulate is called the public control of power, and the arbitrary abuse of power is called observing the legal code; the repression of culture is called its development; the expansion of imperial influence is presented as support for the oppressed; the lack of free expression becomes the highest form of freedom; farcical elections become the highest form of democracy; banning independent thought becomes the most scientific of world views; military occupation becomes fraternal assistance. Because the regime is captive to its own lies, it must falsify everything. It falsifies the past. It falsifies the present, and it falsifies the future. It falsifies statistics. It pretends not to possess an omnipotent and unprincipled police apparatus. It pretends to respect human rights. It pretends to persecute no one. It pretends to fear nothing. It pretends to pretend nothing.

This Looks So Good

Thank You, Princeton! Real Education Leaders!

True “Freedom Fighters”

Fox News vs. the Muppets

Of course Fox loves the oil giants, they pay the pundits’ salaries with their premium advertising fees.

Plus, they pay all their favorite politicians to let Fox lie against the public interest and compel the FCC to allow more corporate takeover of media.

I’ve been banned from Media Matters for America for years, but I wish I could give them a “thumbs-up” for this.

Of course, the new standard can show a decrease in overall rate of world poverty, but the bad news is that the decrease is entirely in China.

CBPP Report on Poverty in the US

This is the report that shows and explains the statistics and the trends. There are a lot of footnotes.

The specific facts

Scary. Frustrating. Sad.

Time to re-boot.
