The Three Tenets of Existential Terrorism

Words are not things or actions. They are vibrations of the air molecules or squiggles on a page. Mistaking words for reality is the mistake that puts politicians in office and sells all of the products, religions, and systems of government on the planet. Saying "Tree" is no more a tree than saying "I love you" means that someone loves you. To perceive reality as it is, one must accept that words are a vehicle for the transference of our perception of reality, not reality itself.
God is dead. I killed him (it, them, her, et al) on November 5th, 1991. Justifiable Homicide. The idea that the universe is run by some cosmic supra-hero concept of ourselves is absurd and unproven. The idea that the creator of the universe put us here in these bodies to satisfy some moral experiment is offensive. The God question; "What are we doing here?", may or may not be valid. At this time, we are here because the physical laws of the universe are not completely against our existence. Our short time of consciousness would be far better served ensuring our survival rather than posturing before some misanthropic cosmic deity.
The only government, the only rule of law, is economics. However our societies are structured, whatever religion or ethnicity, we have all decided that those with relatively more assets have better lives than those with less relative wealth. All measured value is economic value in this system.

How I learned to Stop Worrying



The mass (hysteria) media have have a good time recently with the sabre-rattling regime in North Korea.  They treat it as though it were serious.  They should be treating it like the farcical propaganda it is.  North Korea has no desire to fire a missile, nuclear tipped or otherwise, at the United States or Japan.  This "1984" regime has to be in a constant state of war to justify their poverty and repression.  North Korean leaders are not so ignorant to think that launching a nuclear missile at the United States will not result in everyone in North Korea eating radioactive rice krispies for breakfast the next morning.  That is all and it is quite evident.  Yet, the media and even the military treat it in the United States as though it were an actual threat.  Because the government of the United States needs to keep us in a constant state of war to justify the military-industrial complex.  It's hard to tell which side's propaganda is the most egregious.
