President Death
Edited on Thu Sep-01-05 12:02 PM by Minstrel Boy
From my blog.

President Death


Bruegel's Triumph of Death, detail


Praise be to Nero's Neptune. The Titanic sails at dawn
And everybody's shouting "Which Side Are You On?"
- Bob Dylan



How bad is it?

At least 20 oil rigs and platforms are missing in the Gulf of Mexico. "Over 91 percent of normal daily crude oil production in the Gulf - 1.5 million barrels - is now shut down, and more than 83 percent of natural gas production." Ten or more airports face closure on account of jet fuel shortages. Service stations, particularly in the South, are running dry, due to panic buying and pipeline ruptures.

And oh, yeah: the computer modeling of a hurricane expert at LSU suggests there are over 100,000 dead.

A baby dies at the Superdome. A "renegade" bus of refuges is turned away from their next football stadium of absurd resort. Police officers are lying shot on the street and helicopters are reportedly fired upon. A healthcare worker, trapped in a hospital, gets cut off on CNN when she breaks down and it gets uncomfortably real.

Fall was already going to be a time of crisis for the "King of Vacations." The Plame indictments, if there are to be any, are likely to come down in the next six weeks. The window to broaden the war was closing. What they needed this Fall was not a pretext. What they needed was a greater crisis.

Those who still think that politics matter will take what cold comfort they can get from the hit to Bush's popularity. But History has left them behind. Such a thing as popularity lost its relevance at least two stolen elections ago. There's no supply-side downside to the loss of life. The victims are mostly "marginal," of colour. Less mouths to shelter and feed. This century will see many more cullings, some allowed to happen, some made to happen, and some that just happen. And maybe something else.

If it's true - if it's more than hyperbolic metaphor to call certain forces demonic, and there is an occult hand in the glove of power - then we need to consider the magickal value of so many lives sacrificed. As I quoted previously, the Satanic Order of the Nine Angles' A Gift for the Prince describes how human sacrifice "releases energy":

...and it draws down dark forces or "entities." Such forces may then be used, by directing them toward a specific goal, or they may be allowed to disperse over the Earth in a natural way, such dispersal altering what is sometimes known as the "astral shell" around the Earth. This alteration, by the nature of sacrifice, is disruptive - that is, it tends toward Chaos. This is simply another way of saying that human sacrifice furthers the work of Satan.

What energies are being released today in the United States, and throughout much of the world, by the labours of the Cheney-Bush cabal? Why does death always dog their footsteps? And what else follows behind?

How bad will it get?

It won't be the water, but the fire next time.

1. What Is to be Done?
No power is greater over own lives than our own gut sense of self-preservation. There is a core intelligence inside each of us that tells us to fight, flee or freeze.

In the moments left before we must act, we have to prepare ourselves by answering some questions, the answers to which will define who we want to be for the rest of our lives:

* What is the right thing to do?

* If that isn't clear, what can I do that best preserves and protects life and reduces harm to myself and others?

* If that isn't clear, how can I gain the time and clarity to think through the questions above?

No cabal, no evil, no force determines the answers for me.

"The George W. Bush Legacy"



Wumpscut
Totmacher

sie ahnten nichts von mir
von meiner wilden gier
doch als du kamst zu mir
da wurde ich ein tier
kein gedanke an danach
als ich dir die knochen brach

tot tot tot ich mache dich tot
tot tot tot von blut alles rot

tot

fuer mein naechstes leben
schoepfe ich neue kraft
ich bin dem toeten ergeben
in der einzelhaft

tot tot tot ich mache dich tot
tot tot tot von blut alles rot
tot tot tot ich mache dich tot
tot tot tot von blut alles rot

ein dahinsichen
von gottes hand
ich kann dich riechen
und das denken verschwand

tot tot tot tot tot tot tot ich mache dich tot
tot tot tot von blut alles rot tot tot tot tot

ich mache dich tot ich mache dich tot
ich mache dich tot ich mache dich tot

sag mir was du willst
dass du meine sehnsucht stillst
ich mache dich tot fuer immerdar
von blut alles rot auf gottes altar

tot tot tot ich mache dich tot
tot tot tot von blut alles rot

ich mache dich tot fuer immerdar
ich mache dich tot glaub mir es ist wahr
ich mache dich tot fuer immerdar
ich mache dich tot auf gottes altar

17. Wumpscut - Deadmaker Translation
They didn't expect me
never expected my wild lust
I turned into an animal
No thought about afterwards
When I broke your bones

Dead, dead, dead I make you dead
Dead, dead, dead stained from blood so red

Dead

For my next life (life after death in the religious sense)
I get the power I need
I’m a slave to the killing
In solitary confinement

("einzelhaft" (solitary confinment) has become part of the
german vocabulary after the terrorist attacks of the Red Army
Fraction during the 70's. It's used for people in prison, who
are put into complete isolation not just from other people,
but from all kinds of information. It's what might be known in
the US as "sensual deprivation", a kind of torture-technique
to destroy people's self.)

Dead, dead, dead I make you dead
Dead, dead, dead stained from blood so red
Dead, dead, dead I make you dead
Dead, dead, dead stained from blood so red

Wasting away
By God’s hand
I can smell you
And my thought disappeared

Dead, dead, dead I make you dead
Dead, dead, dead stained from blood so red
Dead, dead, dead, dead

I make you dead I make you dead
I make you dead I make you dead

Tell me what you want
That you fill my longing (that you satisfy my desire)
I make you dead for evermore
God’s altar stained from blood so red

Dead, dead, dead I make you dead
Dead, dead, dead stained from blood so red

I make you dead for evermore
I make you dead believe me its true
I make you dead for evermore
I make you dead on God’s altar


I don't know this group or their music, but they remind me
somehow of Rammstein and Joachim Witt.
They play with Germany's "martial" traditions and combine them
with heavy german romantic words like "Sehnsucht": "Desire" or
"Longing" doesn't sound as deep as "Sehnsucht" in our
language.

Like many Germans, they seem to be impressed by Jack London's
"The Sea Wulf", published in 1904, somehow a literary
processing of Nietzsche and Freud.

To put it way too simple: the ongoing feeling in democratic
cultures, who define themselves as standing in the tradition
of enlightment, knowledge and science, that this is just a
kind of fraud. And the only true order of things is the order
of the jungle and the order of reason is just another name for
a new jungle.

14. Note to RW trolls: OP means "President named Death", not
"Death of President."

Not that it'll stop you knuckledraggers from whining that DU is "threatening the President."

You can all go fuck yourselves now. Do NOT have a nice day.
