Thank you for this fine selection Frank. It should never be forgotten, of course, that CFR is code for the Money Power who early on captured fractional reserve banking as their mechanism for control and enslavement of the masses. Walter Lippmann and other "tribal" members were the ones hired as the prison guards to make sure no one got loose.

Yes indeed. Again, I rather shrink from speaking to that because I’m not you. I think it would be marvellous and very helpful if I could interview you about this and have you explain it, as anything I’d say on the matter would be relatively incomplete.

Excellent analysis of what the hell is going on in the Western world.

It's hilarious to me that that Arnold and others thought high art would be a substitute for God. Cue Orwell's "some ideas are so stupid that only intellectuals believe them" quote.

We know we've won when Pollack, Twombly, and Rothko works are removed from art museums. Or at least taken from prominent positions and used to adorn corridors leading to the restrooms.

Friendly reminder that Dickie Dawkins’ New Atheism was so jejeune it did not merit a mention in “Seven Types of Atheism”. Rekt.gif

The same arrogance that drove Dawkins. They cannot conceive of what the removal of religion does. They think everyone is an Oxford Don and has some handy substitutes at the ready. Now he is realizing the Christian void will be filled by Islam, not atheism.

Following the science is a hard sell these days.

Indeed. Although those inside the bubble think otherwise.

I can't wait for Dawkins' book mocking Islam. OK, I mean I can't wait to see the Muslims' reaction to Dawkins' book mocking Islam...

You'll never see such a thing. He knows the score. Although in his defence he mainly mocked religious belief. It was Hitchens who thrashed Islam.

Everything is ersatz, vicarious, profaned, artificial and deviant or, as aptly put by deplorables everywhere, fake and gay. The terms that describe our past, when we were proper, are adopted by the marketeers to sell more slop; heritage, traditional, rustic, rugged. The quality and domestic production we used to take for granted (remember the donkey jackets available in every builder’s merchants, with the tag saying “made by English workers for English workers?) now a premium product for hipsters, whilst the regulars must be satisfied with plastic items fabricated in exotic locales.

Funny also that the industrial past we fondly remember itself largely destroyed our traditional society. Do it be like people are fond of the James Bond actor they grew up with but akshually, MI6 is not your friend.

The Creel Commission was another crucial institution - all which supports Benedict Anderson that the Inited States became a national during the time you discuss here. Thank you!

Humans, Humanity, touches The Divine. The Source, the Creator... whatever that is. Slavers, Banksters & their Minions, constantly attempt to turn us from this Source, attempt to emulate Creation & gain their own paltry immortality. One might recall a dreadful heresy, that the Justinian Emperors designed their own State religion? A slave religion; turn the other cheek, render unto Caesar, Rules/Regs, suicude not an option... ? Ring any bells? Or that Warlord Mohammed's "Words" are mostly written a century after his death... Hierarchies, with value chains... heh.

I posit that organised "religion" is losing believers but that people seeking Spiritual direction is rising. The State AND it's various Religious Arms is in a titanic struggle with suppressing the Rise of Humanity DESPITE their Dystopian dreams. 👏 Fuck them sideways baby 😎 AND Their Corporatocracy🖕
