Adapt or die.
But some are not with us anymore. They
dropped a load of sleeping pills to escape
it; they pulled the trigger on Dad's 12 gauge
in the garage seeking that perfect sleep;
they wandered off in a fugue state never to
be seen or heard from again. All the while
the conformers, the normals, the
happy-go-lucky cogs of the great Borg went on
morally blind to the incredible tragedy
surrounding them and in which they blindly --
or knowingly -- participated. No body
count.
For me, that horrible period of life was
more than 20 years ago. It was absolute hell
then. It must be a sheer spiritual apocalypse
on the soul of teens today, as things have
distinctly gone from bad to worse. It has
become hopeless and depraved, sending a
veritable few over the edge to grasp hard
steel and cock back shotguns to make it come
to an end. An end to the system of pain, and
as we've seen in Littleton, and end to
themselves as well.
What we are seeing in Littleton, Colorado,
and in the past 10 years in various other
schools around the nation, is literally war.
The geeks, the weirdos, the nerds, the
outcast, the troubled-gifted, the challenged
and the general "breakfast club" is no longer
comfortable with crumbling into a million
pieces and dissolving into the background to
appease the accepted and normative jocks,
'socies' and picture perfect all-American
jackasses soon to be our future political
jackasses; afflicted of soul and body for the
rest of their lives, the outcasts are
fighting back. They have declared war on the
normals and it's a real war, with real blood
and real guns. Its a unique kink in the
process of social evolution (or deevolution),
in a sense. Just so many decades of this can
go on before the free radical stops
bouncing around and starts attacking and
creating a cancer that eventually kills the
host.
The question is, is it deserved? That is
not to say did any of these young people in
Littleton deserve to die, but rather: Is this
war, this 'rage against the machine'deserved?
I say yes. It has been a long time coming. It
is much deserved. Not the deaths, not the
tragedy. It's horrific that it has come to
this! I have nothing but pity and sorrow for
the victims and their families. But on a
raw-truth level, this sort of lashing out is
utterly predictable and sustained by a system
even those parents participate in, regarding
it as "normal" and "good." We reap what we
sow. And I truly wonder how many of the
people closely involved with this debacle
have any clue how much they themselves feed
the beast. They feed it when they hand their
kid a charge card and tell them to go forth
and reflect what the many varied cliques
demand in clothing, in music, in style. They
feed it when they buy into this disturbed
system that creates a hierarchy of
acceptability and conformity, and in turn
demonstrate to their children that the 'way
things are' is good... right... the 'way it
should be' because it has always been that
way.
I've heard it so many times it makes me
want to puke. "Well it was good enough for
me," says the parent from the previous
generation, who sloughs off this issue
entirely, "and I turned out okay."
Okay?????
No. Wrong. You turned out completely screwed
up! If this is your perspective, you're part
of the machine and have been. You were
'absorbed.' You traded your soul for a piece
of the American pie, sold your birthright for
a meal, chose conformity for the sake of an
easy glide, and now you can't see, can't
hear, can't think for yourself in the
slightest. Its an easy road this way. Count
the costs. And the same old excuses live
on..."It's my job." "I was just following
orders." "Well, I survived it." "What's wrong
with the kids these days?"
What's wrong with them is YOU. It's all
filtered for you and through you. Living
outside of this system requires daily
fortitude and spiritual upkeep. It is
sacrificial. It is HARDER to live outside the
system, where truth can really be truth and
lies are exposed, no matter what the cost,
ridicule, chastisement from the "world" at
large. And most don't want to sacrifice. So
they don't. They join up. It's very subtle.
It's gradual. But its all consuming. And
then, you're gone. The great dark-backward
has had its way with you and what's left is
not a rock's throw from 'Stepford,'repackaged
for a new era so the seams don't show. And
the beauty part is, you don't recognize it.
They took your ability to recognize it ages
ago. You gave it to them.
Wake up, sleeper. This is the hideous,
sinking, perpetuating gearworks of the
system, designed to keep the sparks of
imaginative, creative, unique life-force to
an absolute minimum and populate the great
gorge of culture with a vast throng of
media-manipulated, perfectly possessed and
automatonically controlled 'bots' who
guarantee the survival of THE SYSTEM into the
next generation! It trashes people who are
going to create new people to trash, a
cyclic, patterned process. Where and when
will it end?
It ended in Littleton, in a blaze of blood
and bombs when two (possibly more, this story
is far from over!) young boys decided "that
was it... no more pain", no more being
crushed and ground down to a pulp. Time for
the crushing and grinding to reverse. Is
anyone really shocked? Yes. The normals are
stunned and shaking in their boots. They
can't rationalize it because they gave up
real rationalization many, many years
ago.
Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols in my
time was singing, "Anger is an energy!" and
"I am an Anarchist, I am an Antichrist!" as a
powerful downbeat on a podium for change,
a throbbing mantra echoing out to all the
disenfranchised, neglected, trampled kids.
The gleam in his eyes across that broken,
tormented face was intense, hypnotic and
resonating.
Generation X now has the blood of
Nirvana's Kurt Kobain for a psychic ritual
baptism, and the rites of passage are
piercings, scarifications and tattoos
declaring their divorce from the system. Hurt
yourself before THEY hurt you.. and it won't
hurt anymore. Control the hurt. Control
pain. This is the solution when you're out
numbered and know you cannot control the
system. Sadly, they simply joined the 'other'
well-crafted, perfectly controlled and
manipulated hand of a multi-armed cultural
deity. They have escaped nothing. When the
wiles of youth wear off, the scars and holes
and markings will be there to forever remind
them of what happened. A stigmata of the
machine. We have yet to see the end result of
this particular schism in society. Brace
yourselves for this one to explode.
In Littleton, that control took another
course, however. It didn't parcel itself into
thrashing guitars and strobes and acid house
and now well established alternative-scene
self-therapy (I hope everyone reading this
realizes that that is precisely what we're
seeing in the X generation and the music
world now... ad-hoc, self-generated therapy
for dealing with the madness of this culture
and society. When you look at it, realize
this fact. They are having to do it
themselves, because no one else is going to
do it for them. No one gives a damn. And it
beats killing people, no?). It broke out with
gritted teeth; with Network's prophetic "I'm
mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it
anymore!" into the hard reality we now hardly
make contact with today, thanks to the glitz
and glimmer of cathode-ray visions and
videodrome-like fantasy worlds which we've
adopted into our lifestyles without any
thought to its power over us. For the mature
and rational, these things are not a danger.
They can be simple entertainment. For the
rest of the populace...they are simply
elements of mind control. The New World Order
is succeeding in its design to twist us and
shape us as it sees fit. And if that sounds
like paranoid madness to you, then you're
already dead. Another one for the pile.
They don't train police officers and
airline pilots using simulators for nothing!
The idea is to wrap that virtual reality
around the subjects' skull until he or she is
perfectly programmed to respond to the
situation given. Taking the abnormal
situation and making it normative, as though
fully experienced and logged to the memory;
this is the very design. These kids in
Littleton have grown up with their sensory
mechanism entirely dominated by a
programmable emotional matrix. From the music
to the movies to the video games, they have
been slowly "implanted" with very powerful,
ultra-realistic impulse driven scenarios.
Substitute jocks and socies for zombies and
enemy space craft. Plastic reality. Plastic
morality. Bang bang.. zap... kill 'em all and
let God sort 'em out. Training ground for the
mentally ill.
And heightening this mind control is a
diet of absolute trash, speeding up the
system with Jolt and Surge cola caffeine
bombs, maltodextrins and complex sugars and
God only knows what else, from habit forming
molecular stimulants like excitotoxins to
appetite triggers and flavor enhancers as
well-crafted in the laboratory as any
pharmaceutical dispensed by a physician. A
multi-million dollar industry thrives on the
casual addictions of our mouths.. our ears...
our minds. A society completely drugged,
bugged and programmed.
It's going to happen again, folks. Again
and again. The blood is going to flow as high
as a horses bridle eventually. Are we going
to wake up from this catatonic nightmare and
put a stop to it? Or will we simply nod, fold
our hands and submit to the NWO and
everything it has designed for us? Its not
just the kids in school, this effects
EVERYTHING. Will we keep believing that NATO
is stepping in to stop 'ethnic cleansing'
like a knight on a white horse, while it
bombs the hell out of northern Serbia, and
Belgrade, all the while the REAL battle is
150 miles south where the KLA is desperately
trying to fend off Milsovic's Serbian-nazi
forces? Not a single bomb has been dropped to
aid the rebels. Not one. Will we continue to
listen to psychotics in government, backed by
billionaires and corporations, propping up
one cloned leader after another?
Recently a massively popular hit song was
spawned from a newspaper columnists' "good"
advice, beginning with sunscreen and roaming
through a dozen other categories. It's the
first thing I've seen in alternative culture
media that had any merit whatsoever. But it
didn't go far enough.
Well, in light of recent events, I have my
own:
Trust me on this... Homeschool your kids.
It's worth making less money for one of you
to stay home and deal with it. Sacrifice the
commercialized lifestyle you think you should
be living for honor and dignity and truth.
That's really living. You don't need that new
DVD system, you need to spend time with your
kid and show them that you love them. Teach
them. Discipline them. He or she doesn't need
to see what's on the DVD disc anyway. Throw
it away. Stop eating crap. Stop eating it
with your eyes, your ears, your mouth and
your soul. Stop listening to the system, from
either side... it's all lies and deceit. Read
1984 again. It's time. Pay attention to the
lyrics of the songs your kids are listening
to. Watch the movies they watch. Turn off.
Tune out. Drop In. Get Real. Stop lying to
yourself that you went through it too and
it's just a phase. It's not a phase, it's a
phaser, and it is set to stun first and kill
second. Don't believe everything you read,
but read more. Read what THEY tell you not to
read. Instead of TV, watch reality. It might
surprise you what goes on out there. Watch
your kids. Closely. But most of all, trust me
on this... homeschool your children. Don't
give them over to the machine. They're too
precious.
