Epilogue 5/0 -- SPACE ALIENS HIDE MY DRUGS!!! _____________________________________________ A REPTILIAN NAZI WHO NARROWLY ESCAPED BEING MADE INTO A PAIR OF BOOTS WHILE TRAVELLING THROUGH TEXAS wrote:
Hello, Toto...this is just a friendly response. You sound just like I did when I was first exposed to Illuminatus! and Mexico City Blues...both really nifty books.
Wow. You must have been some sick puppy...
The whole reason I got involved in government work at all was because I needed to find out what it was all about, and I grant you, it's VERY EASY for a good "social engineer" to warp the living dogshit out of any organization, because the more hierarchical a structure, the fewer variables you have in bending it to your will.
It was this very Prince Apia of Physics that allowed Linda McCartney to be secretly buried as an imaginary driver in the log book of a finely tuned Volkswagen with a fifth-wheel which could be retracted when outside the jurisdiction of the Kansas Control Commission, thus allowing the Bug to be hidden outside of the prying blinds of the papparazzi, whose long, reptilian tongues were busy snapping at fruit's flies.
This all makes sense...BUT...this is America, and, as this mailing list illustrates, our population is not so easily subdued. In my not-so-humble analysis (as a loud-mouthed student of propaganda), great propagandists like Ayn Rand and a few others gave essentially shielded us from herd-responses on a government scale.
Ayn Rand's 'propaganda' apparently didn't shield us well enough from herd-responses to keep her books off of the best-seller lists, while *real* classics such as 'Thinker Dumped' were used to prop up the corner of couches around the nation.
This is entirely unprecedented (and kicks ass) because we have an ACCEPTED CULTURE of resistance against any unnecessary controls.
However, one needs to keep in mind that top government officials and members of the military are being provided innoculation to provide them with resistance to the cultures that they experiment with, while making them illegal for the average bean-counter to possess.
There will always be regulation-mongers who try to pull shit like the War on Drugs, but, as you can see, they lose public support *really* fast.
Lack of public support does not seem to prevent the regulation-mongers from continuing their various forms of the War on Drugs over the course of hundreds of years, while imprisoning and killing large numbers of citizens, in the process.
I don't know anyone in the military...INCLUDING people who are assigned to the "War on Drugs"...who think this is a good idea. Friends of mine who have gone on missions to assist in drug-siezing have outright stated that they were going to watch for "stupid-shit" of which we all know law enforcement officials to be capable.
And I don't know anyone in a child-sex ring...INCLUDING those who only hold them down...who think this is a legal activity. Friends of yours who have gone on missions to assist in child-seizing have outright stated that they were going to watch for holes in the condoms being used. "If it saves the life of a single child..."
In other words, keep your head...because as you begin to fear imagined threats, you're much less "on guard" against REAL threats to your individuality.
I've been keeping my head in glass canning jars, and so far I have enough saved up to hold out for forty days and forty nights if the Y2K Volkswagen results in a shortage of Tequila, Kahlua and Cream. I, and countless other citizens, are fully capable of dealing with the REAL threats which life serves up on a daily basis. The 'imagined' threats are the ones that truly need to be guarded against, as they are the ones that the Oppressor uses most effectively to crush both the spirit and verse of the Constitution.
Hopefully, this rather opinionated little comment hasn't offended you too terribly.
Well, I am rather thin-skinned, but at least I'm not thin-scaled...
(Of course, I am aware that your response to my description of the reality of modern warfare could have been humorous, but I know some people actually think that there's some gigantic organized conspiracy to fuck with their heads.
Some of the more mentally unstable of those indivdiduals actually believe that they are receiving secret messages through their televisions from large-breasted women who are attempting to sell them fast cars, toothpaste and other consumer goods.
There ARE a lot of tiny organized conspiracies, but you'd be bloody shocked to find out how little influence they really have.)
Certainly not as much as the 'large' organized conspiracies...
