912 – 1 Political Fundamentalists

Political fundamentalists cling to their beliefs as unshakably as religious fanatics adhere to theirs. Truth, facts and logic are rejected, absurdities, contradictions and impossibilities embraced. Their minds are structured on a level that need not concern itself with physical reality because their mental reality seems to supply their emotional needs. Seems! The strength of their resistance to truth, to physical realities, testifies to basic needs unattended. Security alludes them and they drug their chronic unhappiness with entertainment. Among other things.

Fear dominates existence. It seeps up from a well of ignorance polluting our psychological atmosphere, contaminating our emotional foundation and dimming our vision.

God is dead, even for the religious, and no core of substance anchors us to life because life, the most powerful force on earth, the family of the sun, the source of all holiness, is not enough. We want things, money. We prefer to have than to do; to own than to live. We want power without utility, prestige without honor, and happiness without accomplishment. We want individual freedom and security, but shun responsibility for the community, the basis of freedom and security. We adhere to a money-oriented system of society when a people-oriented one is our only, and last, hope for survival.

Fundamentalism. Fear. Alienation from life.

I use one concrete example to illustrate this rant of abstractions.
Chris Hedges. This hero of the left/progressives has time after time delivered scalding and informative criticism of the ruling powers. His remedies however have been anemic despite the passion of his rhetoric. He is illustrated in the picture above of a steel figure encouraging resistance, but not going anywhere.

I’ve been tolerant of his refusal to see beyond the lies of the liars version of the events of 912 – 1. We should be tolerant of fundamentalistic views and I’ve stretched my tolerance as more and more people see the truth of the conspiracy, particularly in light of the physical proof presented by thousands of architects and engineers.

But racism should not be tolerated and Chris steps over the line as a racist.
”This moment in history marks the end of a long, sad tale of greed and murder by the white races.”
The opening line of the essay in which this racist statement appears, reads:
”The idiots take over in the final days of crumbling civilizations.”
Although he names the Mayan and Chinese civilizations among example of crumbling ones, he chooses a racist term to describe the present one. Empires (civilizations) follow a predictable trajectory of growth, domination and decline characterized by greedy and murderous ”idiots”. Always. Everywhere. Race has nothing to do with it. Mixing race or religion into the stew of political struggle poisons the stew. It diverts from the economic basis of power and creates dissention. (See Black Racism)
Shame on you Mr.Hedges. May you get what you deserve.
