Chapter 9 – Some Men, and Religions, Just Want To Watch The World Burn

It may not be “common knowledge” for all Americans, yet in certain extreme religious circles, as well as within diseased individuals or secular tribes of dysfunctional people, some men just want to watch the world burn.

The execution of Kashoughi in the Saudi embassy in Turkey who was an innocent Washington Post reporter.  Bombs appearing at CNN, the Clintons, the Obamas, the Soros residence, and other places around our country, shootings in synagogues, taverns and schools, and the promotion of the principle of Armageddon by intellectually, morally, and spiritually disfigured pseudo-Christian religious adherents are just the outward manifestation of an evil arising in the damaged soul of unhealed and toxic American men, who act with the tacit or outright encouragement of our President of the Divided States Of America.

“They had a very bad original concept, it was carried out poorly, and the cover-up was the worst in the history of cover-ups,” he said. “They had the worst-cover up ever.”
Trump, speaking about the Saudi operatives who killed Washington Post reporter Khashoggi

I have made a personal acquaintance with the Hindu God, Lord Shiva, the god of Destruction. Of all the “gods’ that the human race consciously or unconsciously worships, this aspect of most American male egos needs some dissection and examination, so that the entirety of our human race will no longer be hypnotized by its apocalyptic spell.

The unconscious male, Christian, American, Russian, Muslim, Jew, or whatever label you like, is the seed bed for true terrorism in our world.  Our president, Donald Trump, carries this damaged archetype within himself, while much of the entire world continues to suffer from other nationalistic leaders and their sycophants who are coming under this toxic, dangerous spell..  A person just does not support or incite hatred, violence, or racism, without having some sort of unconscious death wish for self, and/or for others.  The forest fires that hate’s arsonists light up, end up torching the criminal’s back yard, as well.

I will submit a great series of exchanges between Alfred and Batman (Bruce Wayne), from within the Batman movie, the Dark Knight, showing how the writers caught the very essence of the “God of Terror” that lives within us:

Bruce Wayne: [while in the underground bat cave] Targeting me won’t get their money back. I knew the mob wouldn’t go down without a fight, but this is different. They crossed the line.

Alfred Pennyworth: You crossed the line first, sir. You squeezed them, you hammered them to the point of desperation. And in their desperation, they turned to a man they didn’t fully understand.

Bruce Wayne: Criminals aren’t complicated, Alfred. Just have to figure out what he’s after.

Alfred Pennyworth: With respect Master Wayne, perhaps this is a man who *you* don’t fully understand, either. A long time ago, I was in Burma. My friends and I were working for the local government. They were trying to buy the loyalty of tribal leaders by bribing them with precious stones. But their caravans were being raided in a forest north of Rangoon by a bandit. So, we went looking for the stones. But in six months, we never met anybody who traded with him. One day, I saw a child playing with a ruby the size of a tangerine. The bandit had been throwing them away.

Bruce Wayne: So why steal them?

Alfred Pennyworth: Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren’t looking for anything logical, like money. They can’t be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with.

SOME MEN JUST WANT TO WATCH THE WORLD BURN.

Cue in Trump and Bannon’s white supremacist, pseudo-Christian apocalyptic visions and propaganda, and one can see a phenomenon that our culture rarely speaks about, because male patriarchy creates the propaganda that dominates and interprets what is the truth,  attempts to control and distort the discussions, and reaches and distributes the final conclusions to all those under their hypnotic spell..

Within all men lies the seeds of the destruction of our very planet Earth. It has been given many names over time, but the end result is that when men are stressed at a high enough level, we will consciously self-destruct, including other destruction, through wars, terrorism, ethnic cleansing, or religious persecution.  If we perceive others’ creations, or our own creations are imperfect, and no longer deserve our love, respect, and support, all manners of darkness is possible.  Also, we will self-destruct through unconscious means, through adherence to our lower tribalistic tendencies, and greed, lust institutionalized hatred and fear as we victimize and pillage the planet Earth, and all of its sacred inhabitants, to meet our selfish, self-serving agendas.

A rational, introspective, evolving human being would use our imperfection to hone our insight into unfolding a higher reality within ourselves, but for most men, such a change is threatening, and healing is regarded as a threat to our very being. I let “healing” chase me through the gates of hell, to Death’s actual doorstep, and only when I made a decision to change the way i look at life, could help come my way.

Yes, the collective insanity of the American male (perhaps the world male) is on display right now. Only those men in denial, or with limited awareness of self and other, would ever deny this fact.  Or men who full well know what is going on, and want to “get theirs while the getting is good”, at the expense of everyone else.  The President has called climate change a hoax invented by China and pledged to take the U.S. out of the Paris climate change agreement, while a recent U.S. government report suggests that global temperatures will rise by 4°C (7°F) – “and that there is nothing we can do about it, so we might as well carry on pumping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere”.

Cue in all of the murder/suicides, alcoholism, drug addiction, alienation, child abuse, homelessness, monetization of humanity for the benefit of the few, and, ultimately, insanity, global warming, extinction of species, and we see the dark aspects of the world we now live in. This unspoken internal terrorist is the ultimate bullying behavior that we consciously, or unconsciously, utilize as men, when we have had our egos threatened, our basic needs unmet, and no other safety outlets perceived.

Only desperate, disconnected human beings would place their faith in this century’s versions of the anti-Christ. Trump, Putin, Pence, and Steve Bannon (that the four-headed lying monster) have their plan for ascendancy after they deploy their self-serving, wallet fattening, Apocalyptic Insurrection.  Their alliances with Russia, with American Christianity, and with the NRA, should make any American feel like it is time to revolt against the self-destructive corruption in our leadership.

Make America Great Again?

I am not an American Christian, I am appalled and disgusted by those in political power who profess a belief in Christian religious ideology, and go ahead and rape and pillage America in the name of their corrupt Gods of power, hubris, death, and greed. .I follow the directions that Truth and Love create for me in my life. I am not afraid to confront darkness, wherever it might appear, be it in the Church, in the NRA, Congress and in the White House, in our corporations, in my family, or even if it is within my own mind and heart

We really are not a “Christian nation”, which may not be a bad thing, taking all factors into consideration, especially the spiritual destruction that our supposed “National Religion” has experienced through political rape and pillage by the brokers of corporate and political power. I believe that Christianity has long since died in this country, and has been taken over the last several generations by politicians and zealots intent on the disfigurement of our society, through contorting our nation so that it conforms to their own dark, selfish needs. These economic, religious, and political bullies create an imbalanced, disfigured world where economic and social disparity reigns supreme, and where violence and mass murder have become culturally acceptable byproducts of the need to serve their own conscious desires for self-promotion, corporate welfare, as well as their NRA masters. Little do they understand, that these are also unconscious desires for their own self-destruction, and the destruction of all others unlike their own mistaken understanding of themselves.

An American society dominated by the self-destructive and other-destructive fantasies of sick minds, including the ultra-conservative, cultural suicide promoting “Christian followers” who believe in Armageddon, and who are doing everything in their power to create the conditions for it, continue to promote this unsafe, upside down world where weapons of mass destruction are worshiped as tools of freedom and safety, rather than being seen for what they are, which are tools for murder, propagation of fear, bullying, and self-righteousness.

The NRA is a front organization not only for Russian propaganda, but far-right fanaticism and the movement towards collective self-destruction by the American male.  I will now make another quick diversion into the darkened American Male underbelly of guns and gonads  Toxic masculinity, toxic capitalism, toxic religion and the NRA’s ideas around guns, are filled with holes, BULLET HOLES. I have written extensively about toxic masculinity, and there is a direct relationship between the damaged American male, and the incidence of gun marketing, distribution, sales, use, and murder and terrorism within our country. Enough is enough, my fellow male (and supporting female) citizens who are hypnotized by the destructive potential of their weapons of war, and by the extremist hooligans that so effectively promote their value to our diseased society.

Human and civil rights are not equivalent to gun rights, period, and, in fact, supersede all philosophical claims to dominion by extremist gun rights advocates. Owning a gun is a privilege, NOT A RIGHT. The 2nd Amendment has been fine tuned by neurotic, overzealous gun rights advocates to promote ideals not conforming to a rational, effective approach to gun safety and ownership. No individual is a militia, no matter how megalomaniacal they may be, and it is utter nonsense that paranoid people use that as an excuse to stockpile weapons of mass-destruction. See US Supreme Court Justice Warren Burger’s comments on this issue, if you do not trust my point of view.

These are statements of common sense, law, reason, and love. Those who “politicize” this issue with divisive, hateful reasoning, create their deadly alliances (see NRA) around their fears, to help prevent our society from healing. It is up to us to challenge these defective ideas in open forum, and to vote out of office all politicians who support politically sanctioned mass murder, and strictly regulate or ban the weapons used to assault our families, our own bodies, and our sensibilities.

The floodwaters of gun violence have been created by the unleashing of weapons upon our society by the twisted advocates of the 2nd Amendment, gun manufacturers, the NRA, and insane minds who understand nothing but fear, self-preservation, and hatred. It is impossible to save ourselves from the ravages of flooding brought about by the dam bursting, so why don’t we work on preventing the dam from bursting in the first place?

Freedom is not preserved and protected through the threatened use of lethal force of one citizen upon another with guns. Freedom is preserved and protected through the understanding that the enemy lies within our own consciousness, and then healing our world through insight, and the cultivation of collaboration, unity, justice, and love. To the extent that Christian America believes in their weapons, is the extent that they do not believe in their supposed Christian ideals, period. The ultra-conservative “Christian” gun promoter is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, and should be recognized as such.

Time to listen up, America. Time to shut up, NRA, and the politician’s feeding at their troughs of gun violence, death and insanity. People that profit from the deaths of innocent civilians are worse than terrorists. Why does America support domestic terrorism? Do we understand that our culture is disfigured, diseased, and in need of dramatic change? Guns kill people, and the people who supply guns to people KILL PEOPLE.

There are those who prefer to gloss over the darkness in our society, and call the evil, bullying, and cruelty by names other than what represents the truth of the matter. Learn to recognize these people, and remember that in any coercive society, including Hitler’s Germany, these types of individuals were part of darkness’ support network, whether inadvertently by their own ignorance, or intentionally by their own malevolence.

I have spoken out against guns and gun violence since 1980, and my voice has been drowned out by those who speak louder than me. Now, I am starting to believe that the silent majority is finally going to assert itself, and our country steer towards more rational approaches to gun ownership, and control. Our culture is INSANE, as are the people who support the unfettered DISTRIBUTION AND SALE OF GUNS AND AUTOMATIC WEAPONS. Once again, their specious reasoning and heartless, hollow arguments are filled with holes, the bullet holes of death to our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

NRA prayer:  THE LORD’S PRAYER (corrupted)
Our father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name,
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily munitions, and forgive us our poor marksmanship,
While we plot our revenge for the real or imagined trespasses of others.
And lead us not into temptation to be at peace without automatic weapons,
But deliver us from evil with our sacred AR-15’s,
For thine is the kingdom, the firepower, and the glorious gore of death, forever.
Amen

Politics, Insanity, guns, and religions, is an open marriage made in hell.  Satan smiles at one of his greatest creations.
Why are these evil cults of hatred, or religions tax exempt, and supported by Trump and other toxic Americans?

The hypocrisy of it all, Donald Trump and his violent, gun hoarding and toting gang of NRA supporters, will not even attempt to control the spread of weapons of war and mass destruction within our own country, yet he vainly tries to control the impulses of other countries.

DICKHEAD — Deceiver In Chief Knows He’s Evil And Divisive

Trump says that Jewish synagogues should have armed guards at the doors.  What kind of insanity is this?  Trump saying that he would run into a “shooting situation” even if he did not have a gun after the Florida shooting sounds almost consistent to me. He runs into intellectually challenging situations all of the time, with half a wit and no sensibility at all.  His play is always to hate, deception, and demagoguery.

This is the same guy that avoided the Vietnam draft with a five deferments, one for a “foot disorder” or “bone spurs”. Little did anybody know that the “foot disorder” was just that he liked to put his foot in his mouth repeatedly.
Is there no sanity at all left in our leadership? Why are automatic weapons required for a sane society to operate effectively?. Age 18, 21, or 101, nobody needs weapons of mass destruction and murder PERIOD, except for our military, or spoiled gun hoarders, bullies, and murderers.

What is the true source of your fear, those who stockpile weapons and fear monger? Patriotism does not support terrorism, Christianity does not support gun violence and terrorism, and true patriots, be they Christians, Jews, Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists, agnostics, or atheists do not get confused by this.  Jesus, in whatever form “he spiritually exists today” would take his “spiritual sword”, and hack the ideas behind 2nd Amendment hooligans to pieces. If you are seeking for guns, and for weapons of war, you are not seeking for peace.

Some men just want to watch the world burn.  Burn in hell, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.   You will have plenty of company there, with Donald Trump leading the charge of the next wave.
