Visibly Stressed Out

"Dog Poet Transmitting…….

The big news of the moment is the Torture Papers; which has mostly to do with Bushligula but… of course, Howdy Doody factors in. The heat of the inferno is doing a wax job on the back of the neck of the Bozo of the moment. The word is that he’s drunk and angry. When that happens to a man in his position it means; pressure. Yes, it means pressure and pressure translates into stress and it comes from down below. It’s not something you can easily get away from because it is coming from inside and its hard to know what to do about that. If it’s from outside you can react on it or call in your chief of staff and instruct him to go to the military and have them bomb the shit out of someone. These things he is doing but… it ain't helping. You can chalk it up to Mr. Apocalypse because everyone, infernal and supernal, has to integrate with him because he is the atmosphere in the enveloping phase in which we find ourselves.

*******

You are what you are in an apocalypse. Whatever you are is shuttled on rails toward the summing up of what it is. It is moving through a series of moments that are all about defining whatever, by certain cosmic standards. Instead of the usual cloak of fabricated appearances that conceal the identity of people and things, for the purpose of some form of gain, the veil of false appearances is being shredded. It is at this very moment that the illusion weavers, deceivers …and all manner of negative entities that have been operating under the radar through all kinds of proxy faces, are coming out into view and taking off their masks because they are all pumped up with an illusion of power and invulnerability. Yes, the illusion spinners are themselves deceived by illusions of their own and as Mr. Apocalypse rises into ever greater prominence and real power, these menaces to society are becoming filled with just the right amount of arrogance and reckless disregard so as to step out into the limelight and declare themselves, never realizing until it is too late, just what a bad move that is.

This is the meaning of that phrase, “those whom the gods would destroy, they first drive mad”. So long as one stays within certain parameters of action they might prosper for some length of time but… when they get wild and crazy and deranged and turned on by exposing themselves in public, it is not long before they destroy themselves (and each other) one way or another. As I have stated over and over and over and over… the rest of us have to keep it in mind not to be standing too close to these creatures when they go off and when they go down.

What we see taking place in front of us is not what it is all about. It’s not about kingdoms rising and falling; borders dissolving, wars and plagues and famine, along with ridiculous excesses and high living, all going on in the same breathing sequence of the moment. It is not about the visible wars but about the invisible war. You can look at it as a gambling enterprise with long lived forces, outside the visual spectrum of ordinary mortals, who make wagers on outcome. We’re just gambling chips and it makes a whole lot of difference whose pot we wind up in when the game is over’ “GAME OVER, GAME OVER.”

You've seen this sort of thing many times- some of the examples are dreadful, appalling and I am sure there are other adjectives that apply as well. The thing is that the public mind has been lost. Objective reasoning is not a positive fashion accessory in these times; however much it might be one of your best protections against the rising tide of madness on all sides.

The more intense the materialism, the greater the insanity. The greater the materialism, the greater the stress. The greater the stress, the greater the press into bizarre fantasies and strange landscapes, as well as deteriorating health at every level. The tone these days in the media, is to be an apologists and supporter of things like this, as you can glean from the shape of the words, which gives insight into the direction of thought. Those of you who read the article on the people hanging from metal skewers probably saw this comment; “This is a little music video I made to footage of some of my suspensions. Some were hard and painful, some were fun & painful. Either way, I'm always grateful for the opportunities I had to do these suspensions and will never forget what an impact they have had and continue having on my life. Enjoy this video, but please, no comments about how gross this is... if you don't understand it or agree with it, that's perfectly okay, but there is no need for disrespectful comments.”

This was preceded by this “In her video description, in an attempt to ward off hurtful comments from both the prejudiced and the Internet's resident ignoramuses, she wrote:

I don’t want to come off like an anachronistic boor who doesn't get all the really evolved things going on these days; whether that be legalized pedophilia, incest, bestiality or transsexual chakra cleansing. I’m not worked up about specific bathroom usages, by the ever increasing number of new sexual identities. I get what people say their motivations are and I get what it is supposed to mean and what it is supposed to result in and I also get what it does mean and what it does result in. You can say that people are just finding their way and who am I to censure their pursuit of personal growth. Actually, I’m not here for that and people are certainly free (within reason) to pursue their own personal avenues of expression, so long as they do not harm the unwilling, or those too young to make an informed decision. Mostly, I’m just here to point certain things out and to pass on some small amount of insights and knowledge I have picked up on my way to the moment I am writing this in. A goodly amount of what I pass on was learned with some amount of pain and suffering, in this present form and in earlier forms.

One needs to be aware of the stress level of the culture and those residents in it. One needs to be aware of some number of things because they do apply to you at some level. You WILL BE affected by certain things and some will handle and process them better than others. Time will tell if the decisions you made about your life were helpful over all. Time will tell with all of us; what we went through, where we wound up, what we became and what we did and did not accomplish. The ball is still in play.
