Britain: a Decadent Swamp


1. Culture
Britain is unique in many ways. It could never produce a Frenchman like Proust, a Russian like Gogol, an American like Melville, an Irishman like Joyce, a German like Goethe. Its culture is too backward to produce anything of the sort, and it always has been. If it does produce anyone of merit, and there have been periods when it has, these individuals are condemned in their own country because they are to candid with the truth. English writers have written some works of culture but never have we seen anything like it since the Romantic poets and never has the English novel contained anything remotely resembling their European counterparts, or any of their counterparts. Not only do these English writers appear to lack the ability to write about anything cultural, they also do not desire it. But people will surely say what nonsense. Out of all the novelists that have come from England at least one must have had some cultural merit, think the general populace. No. That is incorrect.

Allow me to back this assertion up. Charles Dickens is arguably England’s greatest novelist. There is not one trace of enlightening culture in his works. Look at his characters. There are fine creations of course but where is the high culture? Every novel plays the same music. We have heroes, villains and victims. That is all. They are culturally defunct. We can turn to writers like Thomas Hardy, Jane Austen, the Bronte sisters, George Eliot, Daniel Defoe, Samuel Richardson and so on. They are no different to Dickens: they lack cultural enlightenment and development. The entire history of the English novel lacks this and it has not even been suggested why.

What Hitler did in twelve-years, the British Empire could do in twelve minutes. The Führer oversaw some pretty heinous things and that has not been overlooked. Everybody is aware of it. Now under the British Empire, Hitler’s crimes are trivial in comparison. For example tens of millions of Indians were deliberately starved to death over a period of decades. But this is applauded. England has always been a country moulded on business, profit and making vast amounts of money at everybody else's expense. It places no emphasis on the individual and therefore has no interest in cultural enlightenment. No English writer has ever produced a masterpiece in fiction with the exception of Shakespeare. George Orwell went to Paris but still thought like an Englishman. In his essays he shies away from writing about cultural writers such as Camus, Gide, Dante, Chekhov, Mann and so on. 

Cultural advancement is frowned upon in Britain. If you do not care to watch awful moving images on the television and at the cinema that just propel your dull brain into a deep, dark chasm, read sub-literature, listen to the horrors of popular music, you are too ‘highbrow’ and ‘pompous’. In 1926 Antonio Gramsci, the Italian Marxist intellectual came up with the two-word term, ‘cultural hegemony’. He used it to describe how one social class dominated society to which it was part of. This is perhaps more relevant today than it ever was. All our interests, views, beliefs, morals are dominated by elite groups. Any deviation from the standard view you are classed as some kind of subversive deviant. Marcus’ one dimensional man says as much. We have all become one dimensional and all our opinions have been chosen for us. 

So if you read Donatien de Sade or Nabokov’s Lolita you must be a sort of pervert. Progressive culture is dangerous to mandarins. Learning to play the cello or violin is fine but people must not read about these delights. It is even more pertinent in film. Cultural films are dangerous because that could upset the hegemony it has over the movie industry. Therefore we must become automated robots and have our brains spin-dried until we are no longer capable of thinking anymore.

We are living as barbarians would live. By watching Hollywood propaganda we are watching barbarians kill one another. We hear an abundance of noise in these blockbusters and we go to watch them. It is nothing more than social engineering. Tell such people to watch one of the greatest achievements in cinema: Satyajit Ray’s the Apu Trilogy. After twenty-minutes or so they will say ‘where is the action?’ and if there is none soon, they will leave or fall asleep. People, on the desperate island are programmed to de-cultivate their mind. It would be plausible to think only a sort of barbarian would participate in this sort of culture, and yet it is embedded in all our lives.

If you read a book on the train, at the bus-stop, walking down the street, in a cafe or wherever, nobody asks what you are reading because they have no interest in other people’s cultural affairs. What is perverse is when critics of all types attempt to intellectualise, culturalise and politicise subculture into something important, necessary and relevant, and this somehow gives the work they are reviewing some stature and relevance. They peddle a great deal of nonsense and nobody seems to notice.

A war is being fought against the the few. Those that enjoy the cultural echelons are having a fierce war fought against them. What are they to do? They are not able to read the daily news, endure the television system, go to the cinema or even walk down the street because subculture surrounds them everywhere. The cinema, wherever it is in the country, will advertise the most awful rubbish. It makes little difference what art is you are going to watch because you will always be tormented by the mass media. There is simply no escape. 

There is more. Go on the internet and see what happens. What happens when somebody goes on pornographic websites? The answer is simple. There are advertisements for other pornographic websites and not advertising much else. That is not true of the internet generally. Mainstream websites do not advertise these pornographic websites. But they advertise everything else. We may be looking at an academic essay and advertisements for sporting events may come up or perhaps the latest Hollywood, market-driven movies come on our screens. This is inescapable and we all are supposed to applaud it. The person of any high level is therefore unable to go to the cinema, access the internet, walk down the street, enter shops, travel on public transport. They must remain at home all day to escape this madness. But when you tell people this they themselves think you are mad.

2. Freedom

England differs to other countries where freedom is concerned. For in the sorrowful island the natives do not care so much for freedom; it is not even that they do not care, they really do not think about it, or even know what it is. Few people in the country will be able to recognise the relevance of the aspects of freedom in Albert Camus’ the Outsider for example. For true freedom or real freedom takes place in the mind, and without this you can never be free. ‘I am free’, says the fool on the street, ‘because I vote’. Yes, we may reply, but all the decision-making, executive policies are made, and not only do people have no say, but also have no clue what these policies are. 

The ‘free press’ in England is lauded. This is the same press that is dominated by wealthy business elites: they are owned by maniacs, oligarchs, fraudsters, pornographers and so on. Further to add, where newspapers are involved; there is no Marxist press in the mainstream media, neither is their what is regarded as a left wing press, a libertarian or anarchist, Trotskyist, internationalist, socialist, Utopian and so on. That is some freedom. Therefore it goes without saying almost everybody subscribe to these same infantile opinions about government and the sociopaths that run the country.

The country is so far removed from freedom that it is tragic. People do not wish to think about serious matters or issues or to become involved in political activism for example. Instead their interests lie mainly in being an addict of the T.V system, playing video games and watching awful rubbish on the internet, but, they claim, it is my freedom to do such a thing. The main problem is they have no or little notion what freedom is in the first place. To be free your mind has to remain independent from the public relations industry which is just specialised propaganda. Those who read the capitalist press, watch spectator sports and television, listen to commercial radio channels and even go to work, are not free, and this is around 80 percent of the population. 

All opinion that is permitted to be expressed in the country are largely the same, and they are regurgitated over and over again. Soon enough these views become everybody elses. You are free but not really free to express your own opinion. If any radical view is offered translated in none-newspeak terminology as a more truthful analysis on the state of affairs at home and abroad, such things are silenced. There is a refusal to report it in the media and even if it is you are labelled all sorts of terrible things like an ‘enemy’ and a ‘national security threat’ and so on. There is no freedom in the mainstream press to offer polarising views. 

To be free, firstly you need to be aware of the structural mechanisms that are harmful in a free market ‘liberal democracy’. Because, putting that aside, everybody is in bondage to the government anyway. Say for example you have a certain view on something and it is generally not accepted by many people it is going to be suppressed because there is no freedom to express it. In the 1950s being homosexual was considered reprehensible by the majority. People today like to take part in activities which are illegal, which means the government do not like it so they impose laws against the things they dislike. Sex is interesting because you are only permitted to watch particular sex acts between consenting adults, and of course they outlaw things such as beastiality and child pornography. People who have these ‘dark desires’ would never express them because it is unacceptable to do so. 

‘Revolt against the laws’, says the anarchist, Peter Kropotkin. Well, we must obey the law and that is that. If we break the law we often go to prison. This is utterly perverse. In backward Islamic states women are treated as slaves and that is deemed acceptable by their societal norms. By even questioning the state’s role you are regarded as a radical, disobedient wretch. Samira Makhmalbaf, the Iranian film director said women are more free in the Middle East than women in the west. If that is an argument it is not even worth debating. Anybody's mind which is plagued by fairy tale fantasies of god, the Devil and whatever else, cannot be free in any conceivable way.

When media groups and the political class utter absurdities like ‘we have a free press’, what they mean is that it is only free as long as you stick to the rules of the narrow framework of opinion. That is the freedom that exists in Britain. People like Zadie Smith want to sit back and allow the government to violate all her rights and everybody elses. People in Britain think they are free when in reality they are having a savage war fought against them. They are totally oppressed but do not even know it. They are content to lead their vacuous lives forever and a day. 

Another area of freedom is the food industry. People, especially working people in Britain, are literally eating themselves to death. They go out drinking alcohol and copious amounts of it like zombies thus behaving disorderly like drunkards, then they eat kebabs, burgers, pizzas and so on until they get cancer and die. These sorts of people eat without realising or caring what food they are eating. Now, somebody who goes to fast food cancer factories and so this can hardly be a free choice, are slowly killing themselves. Their only notion of freedom is that they are able to go for a walk and stroll to the local tavern.

There may be factions of freedom that exist but there can be no freedom without freedom without opportunity. Those languishing in poverty do not have the freedom to send their children to a good school, they are reduced to second-rate health care, nor can they pay for their child’s university fees, go on holiday or even eat nutritional food. One day a pair of ordinary Englishmen maybe having a conversation about the possibility of going to prison. One says to the other: ‘I enjoy my freedom too much to go to jail’. This is the talk of churlish nonsense of course, and people who speak in this fashion could never be free. Their brains have always been imprisoned. They are imprisoned to a wife they dislike, an awful job that pays almost nothing, to a community they loath, this sort of life is so bad it’s terrifying.

3. Morality

Where do people get their morals from in England? They get it from the government, the media and television. If the government says you must have seventeen DBC (Disclosure and Barring Service) checks to work in a warehouse, people would accept and tolerate it. It is morally repugnant for a girl who is two-hours away from her sixteenth birthday to have sex with somebody over the age of sixteen, but when these two hours have surpassed that is alright because the government says so. The morality of people in general comes from the government which is a very odd thing indeed. The morality from the government is questionable, many would even argue they do not even have any. Such people echo such empty sentiments like: ‘it is illegal, so it must be wrong.’

Many years ago people on approaching a homosexual may have punched them in the face, now they shake their hands: their morality is chosen for them. All these people then go in these department stores, knowing full well the products they are purchasing were made in some distant country in disgraceful working conditions. They pay no real attention to this because they have no morality and the best example of this is association football. People who pay to enter football stadiums are funding the slave trade and are active participants in making people’s lives a misery. They play an active role and are partly culpable. They are repulsed when children are sexually assaulted on the internet, but they are more than willing to buy products when a child may have been sadistically abused during the process. They pretend they have morality. People claim to be feminists but watch American misogynistic pornography.

Vladimir Nabokov is immoral because he wrote a novel about a man who has a sexual relationship with a child; Emma Goldman was immoral, as was Bertrand Russell and others because they were opposed to the great war; Friedrich Nietzsche was immoral because he wrote things most people disagree with. Yet the English, in this respect, still think like children. People commit are sorts of immoral and unsavory acts on the island, just like they do everywhere else. The terrorist blows people up who have done no wrong to anyone; when the government does the same thing, it is collateral damage, and we never learn the truth of the matter. This same government are quite content to plunge the planet into madness by not accepting personal responsibilities in regard to climate change and global warming; there is no empathy for the vast suffering seen on all continents of the globe.

People in England have no moral fibre and no moral fabric. This is disturbing. LIke freedom, they do not think about it. They want to live in a world where they are devoid of any responsibility. People claim they are moral because they have not picked up a criminal record or are not known to the police, because, they argue, if something is against the law then that must be wrong. This is an intolerable position to take. Their own morality is redundant so they have to rely on the state for enlightenment. The state, these people need telling, are not moral agents, no, they are agents of terror. For it is all trade and free market credentials that are of a primary concern to the government, and these things are very anti-human. But people still lament these dogmatic fantasies. 

If you get your morality from the government then something is very wrong indeed. It roughly translates as having little or no morality whatsoever. This asks inevitable questions such as what is the role of the individual in British society. They, like all adults, have a responsibility. But they work on moral principles. Because this happens government are able to subjugate people’s rights and liberties. As long as people have the right to stagger home from the beer house like a deranged war veteran, or free to watch mindless drivel on the television until they fall asleep then they are perfectly content with that. As long as you tolerate amoral and immoral laws and customs, you yourself, in effect are creating these laws by allowing them to perpetuate. But as long as it does no harm to them it does not matter so much. The fact of the matter is it is harming them; it is harming all of us.

One great absurdity is the claim that people get their virtue and morality from religion, god and the church. This is just nonsense. How can it be the case then that people claim to have this morality when it is written down in a book! They are beyond thinking. For if they were capable of thinking for themselves they would belong to no god, no religion and no church. The Muslim comes out to protest against against Israel launching terrorist attacks against Gaza and the West Bank; Christians against their perceived enemies and so on. It appears that they do not have the capacity to think for themselves. This is highly dangerous. The god-loving dominions have their brains battered by biblical moralistic fantasies. 

The most stupefying aspect of this is these British religious apologists, the T.V watching fanatics believe they have impeccable morality when they have none of it. They have their little petitions and protests of course and put a few pounds in a charity box once in awhile. But this is what is expected of them. People only conform to ‘acceptable’ practices and so they are able to lead a carefree life. This is the most important aspect of their ‘morality’. Speaking out against moral issues is fine as long as it is safe to do such a thing. As for these religious apologists, they often are not quite in touch with reality.

If one supports free market economies, it makes you devoid of morality of any sort. It was Margaret Thatcher in the 1980s who said: ‘there is no alternative to the free market’. The British, that is the vast majority of them do not even know what the free market is. More to the point they have no interest in such things. There is a clear depoliticisation of people but there is no longer even a need for that. It has always been that way. Only in Britain could you have a major broadcasting corporation, one of the biggest in the world, to be responsible for deplorable acts of sexual violence against children, and at the same time this organisation continues to function, its very existence has never been called into doubt. In all probability the organisation has probably been working as a paedophile ring but everybody continues to pay their licence fee as if nothing had even happened at all. Then the ‘storm’ goes away. A whole history has been covered up in the country in reference to child abuse. But it is all wiped from the history books as if it never happened; none of it ever happened. Nobody went out on the streets to protest about this, neither do they protest against the states constant and perpetual war against the poor, none of this takes place because morality in the country is very few and far between. For those that do have it, it is a shame to have to be alone in the cold

4. Intellectuals

Britain is a secret and silent state. People of all kinds call particular politicians intellectuals. ‘Experts’ appearing on television have no expertise about anything. These ‘experts’, we are told, are right wing journalists who are experts only in fabricating their own nonsense; the political class are only experts in the boorish history of their own parties. The real intellectuals, the scholars, are hardly playing the role intellectuals ought to play. They may offer vacuous objectives to the National Health Service, on what rate income tax should be, minor changes to education and that is what we call an intellectual in modern-day Britain. 

The church condemns government policy more than intellectuals do. Worthwhile intellectuals, and there are some, are inevitably silenced. One of the most outstanding intellectuals in the twentieth century is Bertrand Russell. Since his death in 1970 there has been a rapid decline in people like him. Russell was willing to go to prison for his unflinching views, and he did. The role of the intellectual is supposed to offer inciteful information to the public. After all, intellectuals are experts in their specialised field, the general population do not possess this insight and knowledge. So the academic ought to share this information, offer their analysis on how the world is composed and so on. The public would have a better picture of the world, but this does not happen, because these scholars constantly give people a false impression of the world.

In any case any sort of intellectual in the country is frowned upon. It is not popular to become an intellectual. It does not fit in with modern cultural trends. It is no longer possible in Britain to have a serious intellectual conversation in public anymore without being ridiculed. It has become a nation of infantilism. People do not wish to see or hear intellectuals speak; they do not like it. They would prefer that to happen in other countries like France, Russia and Italy. People belonging to this island are special and so they would prefer to hear views from a government spokesperson than a trained expert. 

The entire political class do not have a brain between them, and they are incapable of writing a book that is worthy to be read. People’s intellectual delights involve playing video games that are designed for children, they watch American propaganda movies, again it would appear these movies are aimed at children. They do not have serious conversations, and despise people that do. They must not speak of global political events, of ideologies, new ideas, of radical philosophy, even of the stupidity of their own lives.

Instead they are content to behave like children. The only news they watch is propaganda and brainwashing freedoms but do not know it is such. Then for the rest of their lives act like automated robots. They are devoid of any intellect, and if they are it is drained out of them. This is how it works: when they are children they have as much potential as the next person, but this soon disappears due to cultural degradation. They socialise with their friends as teenagers in school and do not discuss the relevance of the Spanish civil war or whether surrealism was a worthwhile movement. Instead they discuss which pop stars are impressing them the most and how they want to get married to idiots. They then work in some sweatshop supermarket, in an office or otherwise, and people that work in these places are removed from anything remotely intellectual. Then they get married to some boorish panjandrum, and talk about things in the news. This is their contribution towards society. 

We do not have a Chekhov to write about these people. If we had nobody would read him! People in England do not like reading anything intellectual. Very few English novels are centred around intellectual characters. There is nobody in Dickens, Lawrence, Trollope, Thackeray, Eliot, or indeed, any of them. On the rare occasion that English writers do write about this people do not bother reading them, and if they do they just fail to understand them. Radical playwrights such as Bond, Barker and the early Brenton, are not really read in their own countries, and few know they even exist. They are known abroad, but quite shamefully, not at home. Few people in Shakespeare’s own country avoid analysing his more intellectual characters such as Hamlet, Brutus, Iago and Macbeth. They are all murderers that is true; they are also thinkers. 

Even England’s celebrity professors are politically backwards. Stephen Hawking, perhaps is the most prominent physicist since Einstein. He appears to be apolitical and makes infantile television appearances, records his voice on terrible pop songs and has acquaintances with Hollywood types. Little difference separates him from the biologist, Richard Dawkins. On political and intellectual matters it is all beyond comprehension. Even literary and philosophy professors like Mary Beard and A.C grayling, act as servants of state power. Beard claims to know little about economics, and like Beard, Grayling has appeared on BBC flagship programmes talking nonsense. For an academic he conceals a great deal. People such as these talk a great deal of pretense about their views on various things. Simon Schama, the historian, has also joined the chorus of nonsense, again, he claims to know little about economics, which in truth is not really difficult to comprehend. 

Look at all the intellectuals all over the world. They hold power to account as they should. Not only do they risk being imprisoned but also torture and worse. Political figures have also acted as intellectuals in many parts of the world. In the 20th century we have had Ho Chi Minh of Vietnam; Aung San of Burma; Ramos Horta of East Timor; Mao of China; the revolutionaries from Latin America; ideological thinkers in the Middle East. It puts Britain to great shame. People laugh at the country and for good reason. When you see people reading a book in public you can be sure it will be nothing serious, so never enter a conversation with these people because they will talk a whole lot of nothing, it would indeed be a rare thing if an intellectual conversation pursued. That would be a rare enlightenment.

5. Government

Britain has a special sort of democracy. Having a one-party state, with perhaps two or three factions is part of it. There is more than one political party, that is true. But that does not mean a thing. The only parties that are capable of being elected, broadly have the same policies. Even when they are elected, policies are always conducted behind closed doors, because it is a secret state and most of these policies and laws are not even reported to the public, and so they are about as free as Saudi women. 

There is no active democratic participation either. When a bill is passed people complain to each other about it, and that is all, soon enough they forget this law has existed and fix their gaze on the television screen and the computer monitor. There is not even democracy by the people in the country. The irony here is that these same people believe themselves to be the freest in the world. They do not bother to protest about the rampant class warfare the government is involved in, international arms deals with terror states, the total annihilation of public services, of private concentrated power, of endemic corruption. It is quite literally a brainwashed society.

The history of Britain has almost been wiped from the history books entirely. The natives have little idea of this secret history. Just from 1850 onwards it is very ugly to say the least. In 1857 was the Indian Mutiny Rebellion which, according to some, as a result, some millions of Indians died. The massacres and ethnic cleansing in Ireland is also forgotten. Take the Irish Potato Famine. When the Irish were literally starving to death, the British still demanded repayments from them as usual. According to American academic Rebecca Elkins, by her calculations, up to 300,000 Kenyans were slaughtered by British colonial rule in the 1950s, and in Yemen saw massacres on a similar scale in the following decade. The massacres in Palestine were persistent , with British help, they were forcibly removed from their land, in what Ilan Pappe calls ethnic cleansing. The support for Islamic fundamentalist terrorism goes back even further, reports social historian Mark Curtis. These are perhaps less than 00.1 percent of the evils of the British Empire. Yet today it still remains a dirty secret. 

We are told certain political parties are on the ‘hard’ or ‘radical left’, the ‘ left’, the ‘right’, ‘centre right’, the ‘middle ground’, the ‘centre right’, ‘far right’, and so on. Of course all these terms are meaningless. They do not mean anything. What is meant by ‘right’ is the following: autocratic, totalitarian, fascistic, nationalistic, oppressors of every sort, that seek to plunder the poor and empower the rich, generate a sort of economic warfare, dismantling public institutions that benefit the rich, wage a propaganda war against minorities, against religious groups, the jobless, paupers and prisoners, women, children, against the oppressed and dispossessed. It is simply foolish to speak of the left because such a thing does not exist. 

When a political party proposes a mild liberal policy, the floodgates open. Then they are referred to as the ‘hard left’, ‘anarchists’, ‘Marxists’, ‘Leninists’. That party then becomes almost obsolete. Criticism is often forbidden. There is to be none directed at two elite terror states: Israel and the United States of America. Terror states that have trade links and arms deals with Britain are also beyond criticism. Only various views and opinions are permitted to be documented. If people deviate from this framework they are classed as highly dangerous people that need taming. It is a prison without bars.

What people fail to realise is that under a totalitarian free market system individuals are robbed of their rights, freedom and views. The human being, because of the avaricious system is not able to progress and advance as they normally would. People have become expendable, because they have little significance unless they can supply something significant to the government like capital investment, paying high taxes, employing large groups of people, thus paying more taxes. That is what is all comes down to: profit. Nothing else matters. People are completely unphased by this. We must work, work, work! The work place does nothing but dehumanises the individual, but that is alright because free market fanaticism is the order of the day. Our lives have become an existential, nihilistic nightmare. 

Britain is the most corrupt country in the world. This may appear like a nonsensical thing to say but the corruption is legal. There is lobbying, robbery from the imperial family, and members of parliament in turn. There are all sorts of corrupt deals that ought to be illegal such as special tax avoidance schemes. There is nothing more corrupt that the House of lords. What do they do? Peerages are given to members of the biggest political parties, that is so bills will be passed in parliament. This is seldom discussed because Britain is a brainwashed society and people are not capable of thinking outside the propaganda framework. 

In real totalitarian states, a military tyranny where people are sent to the gas chamber and where physical torture is conducted in prisons, death squads in the streets, the bombing of entire houses, villages, towns, even cities is a system that is unable to sustain itself. These regimes fall after a certain amount of time has elapsed, another system is introduced. Now, this ‘liberal democracy’ is sustainable because there are no torture camps, persistent bombings-as that is reserved for unpeople abroad-there is no gassing of minority groups or anything of the kind, if this was the case these ‘liberal democracies’ would be vanquished overnight. This state capitalist system then we are all subjected to is sustainable because the abuse and terror is clandestine, and often seen as lawful. Instead of the SS storming your house and butchering you, there is economic warfare. You are still forced out of your home on the streets through ‘economic reforms’, all in the name of ‘liberal democracy’ of course. This is why it is the worst political system imaginable. There is nothing worse.

6. Language

French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, German, Dutch, are all languages spoken in Europe and beyond. Many people coming from these countries can speak a number of languages, but the same can not be said of the British. There is something very unique about the country and it is all rather perverse. In sooth Britain does not really belong to Europe; it never has. Britain does not care for other countries. It certainly does not wish to learn about other cultures, and learn other languages.

The British dislike all Europeans. They berate the Scandinavians for being too liberal, lampoon the French for being too arrogant, the Germans for being too serious, the Belgians for being too boring, the Dutch for being too free, the Italians for being too cultural and the Eastern Europeans for being too hard working. Like America and Australia they are insular. It has become a nation of absolute savages. It prides itself on the ignorance of refusing to learn foreign languages. They can barely speak their own.

The country is totally Americanised. People up and down the country even speak with American accents. They waste their unproductive lives by watching the American television system and Hollywood propaganda movies. They go to American, fast food, cancer factories and eat until they have a stroke, heart attack or cancer itself. They also favour the American brand of ‘justice’. They, for example, favour the death penalty. The country ought to be kicked out of Europe and join the American Empire. 

The British are one of the few nations in the world where people do no bother to learn a foreign language. They believe it, but never say it, that the whole world should speak English. They believe also, when they go abroad, everybody in that country should speak English because they think they ought not to speak in a foreign tongue. If they are unable to speak English, then the ‘foreigner’ in their country says: ‘I can not believe they can not even speak english, I mean what sort of country is this?’ They have the inability to look at themselves, and their own lives. It is the situation with people everywhere up and down the country.

It is the case with people in Europe generally, excluding Britain, that they have a lot of meaning and purpose to their lives. They create opportunities for themselves by learning not just another language, but one after another, and another one and so on. This is the European way: progressive advancement. They must, all this while be laughing at these Brits. What is it? Is there something in the British Psyche? In the English psyche perhaps. Maybe it is a mystery, but the nation has reduced itself to infantilism. Anything that involves effort is not worth doing. Thinking has coherently become a struggle. This is odd for a secular country; it has turned into a zombie nation. It is a nation of zombies. In some towns, in most towns in actual fact people walk as if they were dying from a terminal illness. There is nothing worthwhile for them to speak about. These towns are not much better than prisons, because like a prison, the natives of these towns are imprisoned, and hate their very existence and the place they inhabit, they are full of envy and wrath.

Why would the British even consider learning a foreign language when their state of affairs are that terrible? It makes little sense for them to do so. They are ensnared in a sort of concentration camp which they can not escape; they are unable to escape. How will they? They have nothing to offer. They struggle to even get work, and even if they do it is something quite terrible which they can not stand. They have no talents, not that they know of anyway, possess little or no education, no knowledge of any significance. They are lifeless, lethargic and are waiting to die. All these towns are filled with the working classes and the working classes in Britain are a pitiful bunch. They struggle to speak their own language, let alone speak another from scratch. 

This is why Britain is unique. The country, along with the United States, are the biggest brainwashed nations in the world. This should not even be a controversial statement to make. If the British would only attempt to be bilingual opportunities would open up for them. To speak two languages, to be fluent in two languages is a tremendous skill to have. But it does not matter a jot because the working classes will never think that way, and they seldom think about leaving about their hometown, let alone actually leaving the country. They do not know what is happening in Europe because they do not want to know what is happening in Europe. All they are concerned about is preserving an independent Britain, and removing them from all treaties they are signed up to. Their brains are completely dishevelled.

When we see the French and Italians enter British soil and see them speak fourteen different languages; all the heads of the British ought to hang in shame. We see them, how they dress, how they behave, how they conduct themselves and we say to ourselves without knowing that person without knowing where they are from, ‘they will not be from this country’. They are right every time. They know how to behave and speak impeccable English. But why do such people come to the country? Are they mad? The English, particularly, rage on about the French all day and all night. They say they are arrogant and hate the English. The French ought to be weary of the English. They have the right to take that attitude. The French are well within their rights to act in this fashion.

Britain is at least thirty years behind western Europe. Large parts of the country look like the old ruins of Eastern Europe. People are satisfied with living in these squalid conditions but this is a normality for them, for the state often treats its citizens like old enemies. In many cases we must treat many of the misguided British as children, because they do lack progression and even civility at times. It is quite incredulous considering what the British have given the world. In science it has the greatest of them all: Isaac Newton, the greatest of all physicists and the very best evolutionary biologist, Charles Darwin, the greatest writer that ever lived belongs there: william Shakespeare. Great actors of international repute also are native and inhabited this place: Ellen Terry, David Garrick and Edmund Kean. There is nothing of the sort anymore. Now the vacuum has been filled by wealthy business elites. The British, really ought to be more distinguished, cultural, sophisticated, ambitious, intellectual, political, moral, but the opposite is the case. There is something far worse ingrained in these people and it will not get any better; it will get worse.

7. the Media

The media in Britain is highly concentrated. There is the agenda-setting media of course which wield significant influence. Apart from this they are also engineering history. They are the writers of history as they see it. The tabloid press are popular and will be for a very long time to come. These papers are filled with junk on virtually every page, ranging from spectator sports such as football and tennis to movie reviews, and what such-a-person had for lunch or whatever, and how gracious the imperial family are. But more importantly, arguably, are the political content these papers cover.

There are three main areas in which media elites work under. The first of these is the marginalisation of dissidents. In the corporate press there are a range of views, so it appears, but when you study and analyse it, it is a very concentrated, one-dimensional idea or ideology. This seems, from the from the outset to be false because of course the media offer a wide range of opinion, people would and do argue. Take, for example, the issue of prisons.

When we speak about people entering custody the talk is whether prisoners should get short or longer sentences, should these same people be treated harshly in prison, while others say they should be treated with a certain degree of humanity. Nobody argues that prisons should close, and that they are barbarian institutions that only induce more crime. They seldom, if ever, empathise with the prisoner and lambast their awful plight when they are released from their oppression and how the probation system operate is never called into question, and how the prisoner is almost eliminated from the job market, instead they just go on tirades documenting the thing they have alleged to have done to get themselves in prison in the first place. This never happens. The concentrated media is not interested in this sort of thing, regrettably.

The political and economical systems are another area in which media elites work under. Newspapers call for a more Keynesian type of economics and they give various reason why this should happen. Very malevolent and unpleasant journalists offer an alternative. They cite people like Frederick A. Hayek and his disciple, Milton Friedman who supported totalitarian, economic systems. This is the sort of free market Hayekian fundamentalism Friedman oversaw in fascist Chile and Jeffrey Sachs in various places. What is not supported or even mentioned is an alternative to the free market system altogether. They talk about the ‘market’ but give no definition of what the free market is. Clearly, they do not want their readers getting out of hand.

Politically they do not offer much of an alternative either. They offer two views, which only echo what each other say: to privatise or nationalise. Do we support the ruling party or the opposition? There is no analysis of any kind in reference to the democratic system and its functional institutions. No other system is ever recommended, the current, lamentable system, is never called into question and everybody has to work around it. They do not oppose The Bank of England and the Chancellor of the Exchequer himself, and that this ‘democracy’ is phoney. They dare not offer an insight into other ideological systems. There is no talk of anarcho-syndicalism, collectives, workers councils, Marxism, not even the Latin American model is mentioned. So they are guaranteeing everybody thinks as an automated machine.

Foreign policy is largely the same. There is an argument for war and the other is let’s not go to war and wage war another way, usually through sanctions which is war by another name. Even when war is opposed on all fronts, the aftermath is ‘we made a mistake’, not offering an analysis of outright criminality and barbarity, as Vietnam and Iraq highlight. Israel is an interesting case to discuss, one of the postwar horror shows on the ‘right’ argue that Israel has a right to defend itself, when they go out of their way to bomb sleeping children. The ‘left’ argue that Israel must be held accountable for ‘war crimes’ and that they must talk ‘peace’. What view is never offered is the rejectionist statement: that the U.S and Israel are not interested in giving an inch to the Palestinians, and when progress is made, Israel starts bombing whom it likes, with U.S and U.K support.

Finally we have the murky world of banks and bankers. Media groups prattle on about them but never reveal the truth. They do not say, for example, that the big banks in the country are operating under fraudulent operations and are committing crimes so serious that sometimes the truth, in small doses is revealed. We never read the truth, and therefore never discover what the banks daily activities are. Edward Herman and Naomi Klein are outspoken critics of these adventures but seldom reach the mainstream press. Dissidents are marginalised and ignored by this same press. An opinion that does not fit in the the structural framework is just rejected.

The second function of the media is depoliticisation and advertising selling power. You depoliticise people by reducing their capacity to think. This is easily achieved. They bombard their readership with nonsense of various sorts. All aspects of popular culture and spectator sports are strewn everywhere in these papers, and they use ‘selling power’, for purpose of profit and businesses, thus emptying the heads of anything meaningful. Business elites, which advertise in these papers want ‘selling-power’, in other words presenting uncomplicated stories, to enable the business to sell their product better. They do not want obtuse news items, because big business and scandalous profits are the order of the day, but of course this is never discussed in these newspapers, and why should it be?

The third function is brainwashing. They normalise a number of things which of course are not normal at all. Each paper sticks to their own views and regurgitate it over and over again. They use words like ‘friendly fire’, ‘democracy’, ‘intervention’. This goes throughout the entire mainstream press. All the newspapers congregate together and decide to leave irrelevant information out. Britain's secret relationship with Islamic terrorists, for example: it is a puppet of terrorism, which the media decide to support: Indonesia under Suharto and Mussolini for example. So evidently people reading these publications will not only be unaware of these clandestine activities but also they will be subjected to an abundance of trash, and they will think this is relevant to their own lives, even important and they will speak of it as if it was in their mind to do so.

8. Women

For a ‘liberal democracy’, the way Britain treats women is truly abominable. It is not just the state and paternal institutions that act in this scandalous way; it is prevalent amongst men up and down this country. If a woman is successful then the following rules apply: she must not be judged on skill, talent or whatever else, but must be judged on her looks, she sleeps around with men, whether she is overweight, underweight, is she attractive. If she is then men of different varieties speak about how they would like to rape her and make her pay. We should rape her, they say, that will show her where women really belong. How dare a woman be successful. Who let her out of the house?

Germaine Greer, the feminist, has commented on men’s attitude towards women. She says it is because they can not bear the rights women have gained and so on. A woman has to be sexualised, and if she is not deemed attractive enough to be sexualised, then this must be commented on. She may be ‘too ugly’ or ‘too fat’ or whatever. Women are sexualised everywhere in Britain. They appear in infantile pop videos on television, in advertisements, they are even sexualised in fashion outlets. For the idea is that women are really subhuman. They are not the same as men. So therefore there must be this focus on the aesthetics of a woman. They, of course, can not have any views, thoughts, feelings, emotions or anything of the sort. There is none of this. The important thing is how they use their breasts, do they have a good body? Are they good in the bedroom? What colour underwear do they wear? It is not sexism; it is misogyny. 

The pay ratio between men and women is an absolute disgrace. It is clear women are paid less than their male counterparts not because of their ability, it is because of their gender. When a woman goes to prison she must get a longer sentence because they ‘should know better’ and have that ‘maternal instinct’. The one area of work where women get paid more than men is in the adult entertainment industry. In many of these movies the women in them must be dominated and abused by the male, and are often labelled very degrading names like ‘slut’, ‘whore’. ‘bitches’, ‘slags’. A lot of men like to see women humiliated in these movies and like ‘rough sex’, even to the degree where these women are crying. For they are only excited by the sadistic abuse women experience in these movies, anything else is of no significance. Noam Chomsky has commented that anybody that watches pornography has a problem.

If a man is not doing his job properly there are always excuses and sometimes reasons why this happens. But when a woman is unable to do her job properly then the rules change somewhat. It is because ‘it is that time of year of year’, or that ‘she is on her period’, maybe she has ‘not been getting it’. Imagine what would happen if this was the attitude with black, middle-eastern Asian men. It would be quite unthinkable if the media and other groups said that black men ‘are too black for the job’, or that an oriental man is ‘too chinky’. It is a form of racism, albeit nothing to do with race, but gender. Take what has already been discussed, religion. ‘Because he is Jewish he must be hiding millions under his bed’, or that he is a Muslim so he must be hiding explosives under his bed’. These statements may even be used by members of the public but we know it is not used by media groups. It would be deemed unacceptable and it is unacceptable. The misogynist attitude toward women is equally so.

People dare talk about the church being progressive when its attitude towards women is that of the dark ages. How many women do we see as authoritative figures in synagogues, Mosques and Christian churches throughout the country? When spectator sports come around we must say there are many disgraceful comments made about women. In tennis the tabloid press like to focus their attention on women’s bodies while they play a game of tennis. This is like an endless war against women. At award ceremonies it is all about how a woman looks, what she is wearing and so on. No comment can be made about any aspect of a woman without the perpetual insolence about the fact that she is a woman.

The country is awash with undesirables marauding around the streets. Some of these unceremonious individuals have girlfriends of course, but they do not refer to these women as their girlfriends but as ‘my bitch’, or even ‘it’. Their male friends usually laugh at these remarks. A good ‘bitch’ of course is one that the boyfriends mates can have sex with, and if she refuses she must be severely punished. The most heinous abuse against women is the act of ex trafficking. These poor girls are raped multiple times a day, beaten, tortured, and many are even murdered. This never gets the attention it ought to. It, no doubt, is slavery and sexual slavery is worse than any other form of slavery. But this appears to be an acceptable form of slavery. If it happened to men like it happens to women then perhaps more would be done to tackle the problem. 

Some people speak about revolutions all the time but few speak of a woman's revolution. I am not talking about a social revolution here. Why must women tolerate this misogyny? If you persecute somebody because of their religion or race that is hate crime, well it ought to apply to abominable misogynists. These infantile ‘comedians’ make jokes about domestic violence and people laugh at them. A group of footballers gang-raped a thirteen-year-old child and the mass media referred to it as an ‘orgy’. That is where humanity has gone in the country, and few things in print are more despicable than that.

 9. Children
Children are not safe in Britain. The social services, the police, councillors up and down this country are responsible for some of the most appalling abuse against children, but this is a sort of hidden history. No, it is not even that. In many instances the information is just filtered through the mainstream press, people whinge about it for a few days then inevitably forget about it. This is how it generally works: that a child that has been abused reports it to the police and the police believe the child in question, but do nothing about it, and the social services, in many instances have gone a step further. They blame the victim, saying they deserve it and so on. The local councils often hide or just get rid of evidence when it suits them to do so. this is what you call safeguarding children in Britain.

But these cover-ups do not happen all the time, they only happen in certain instances. If the person on the street or a relative abuses their children, then of course that person is arrested, charged, convicted and sent to prison. But that is not the issue here. I am talking about the abuse taking place in these children and care homes. The state is very much in favour of punishing individuals, but when it comes to more sadistic practices by public institutions, as well as private ones, a cover-up then is permissible.

It does not say a great deal about the country when the most famous broadcasting corporation have been acting as a virtual paedophile ring, and the people watching the programmes they broadcast, have been unknowingly funding the habitual abuse of children, and after the event, or rather, when they get found out as they did, there is a cover-up of a kind (there always is), and everybody kept silent to a certain degree. People who saw the sexual abuse of children, said nothing, did nothing, and thought nothing and they quite happily got along with their own boorish lives. We have reached an age of immorality.

The social services are worse than an infanticidal psychopath, a rampant child molester, and abuser of the worst kind. This is simply because these social services, so it is claimed by a great many people, exist in order to protect children. What garbage! The reason why they are worse than other abusers is because they pretend to protect children when they do directly the opposite. They act as sociopathic monsters who have a habit in putting children in situations where they encounter some of the most sadistic abuse, and they utter infantile platitudes saying ‘we got it wrong’ and ‘we must learn from our mistakes’. For the man that sodomises and disembowels a child, perhaps he should learn from his mistakes, he may do the same thing again so we shall have a cover-up..I mean an investigation. Of course this is an analogy of how the way things operate with the social services. it is beyond sub humanity.

The church fairs no better. In fact they go one step further. They do not just cover the abuse up. They are the ones who do the abusing. No matter. We will just move these abusers to another parish. That will show them. There is nothing quite like draconian punishment of this stature. The church, lest we forget, are also responsible for the awful abuse of unborn children. This may sound like an incorrect and scandalous things to say. It is not. These Ministers of menace preach abortion is immoral, so they would prefer to bring a child up in a household full of violence, abuse and so on. They claim to have all this morality but in reality they do not have a grain of it. They are a bunch of egregious, hypocritical mythographers.

How many churches are currently running paedophile rings? how many media groups? Individual members of the social services? Schools? If they were running any that would be a great surprise. These things, of course, will never be truthfully revealed. But there are other organisations that may be involved in these activities-like police forces up and down Britain, as well as children's charities and care homes. Heaven knows what sorts of things the likes of the NSPCC, the children’s charity, are upto, but is too distressing to contemplate. The British armed forces go round, from time to time, raping children in foreign lands that nobody else knows about.

Britain is not only second rate, it is putrid, diseased and awash with injustice, immorality, amorality and abuse and corruption of the highest kind. It is a country that belongs in a Kafka story.

an essay on Morality



 
 

On Morality




To impose one’s morality onto another is quite a hideous thing. The Christian moralist speaks of no violence, no sex, no nudity, no extramarital affairs, no conflict, no death, no suffering in literature and film. Yet this same person of this faith worships the Old Testament like a fool worships his Government. These Sun-god worshippers are content to read the stories in the Bible such as Noah’s Flood and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, and preach about this morality. Such people are happy for God to murder the whole of humanity, well almost, and still speak of this thing called morality. The same people dare not offer the slightest criticism on this God character, raising Sodom and Gomorrah to the ground and almost everybody with it. Surely, beyond all doubt the Old Testament is the most bloodiest and genocidal book ever written. Of that, there can be little doubt.


Yet this same group of people, and there are many of them, dare to impose their morality onto others. The morality in the old Testament is so defunct that preaching morality by its worshippers is an absolute absurdity. One of these so-called moralists, now no longer with us, and has not been for a while, is Mary Whitehouse. Art, to this woman, was an anathema. The greatest piece of art could have been created, and she and her sycophantic followers could believe it to be the case, but if the beautiful piece of art were to feature a piece of violence, sex or whatever, such people would dismiss it as being immoral because they believe morality to be above art. These people continue to pander their nonsense. 
 
 
 
To dismiss morality would be a rather grotesque thing to do, for we have to remind ourselves what morality is. The state can never be moral; in fact the two words, state and moral are oxymorons. Morality, then, is something that is within us always. To be moral is to be good, to have principles, to weave your ethics in this cruel and dark world. If everyone of us were able, physically, mentally, physiologically, and whatever else, to decapitate a toddler’s head from the rest of its body, would the majority of humanity do such a thing? Of course not, for it is very immoral indeed. It shows then that the person who decides not to do this is moral to some degree, accepting that if such an act was done they would be immune from prosecution. It is an extreme example but highlights the difference between morality and immorality.




Some lines ago I made a statement which some may disagree with: 'the state can never be moral,' such a statement needs to be clarified, and reasons need to be stated why a person, any person would think and say such a thing. It is true, the majority would disagree with the statement in principle. Why is this? That is not such a difficult question to answer. Much of it lies in the media. The capitalist press or mainstream press do not have the capacity to be moral, and it is true this is where people receive their main source of information from or misinformation as is often the case. Therefore the majority of the population in any nation state will not believe the state to be immoral because they are reading nothing more than state propaganda. Only moderate dissident opinion is accepted in the mainstream press. In fact it is what Orwell calls 'self-censorship,' and thus such publications get an easy time of governments.




It must be remembered newspapers are a business and the capitalist press have one chief desire; and that desire is to make profits, and profits are not made by printing the truth. It is through large business and corporations that these papers are able to survive, not through selling copies, without that revenue, without the sponsorship, newspapers would die. Newspapers which refuse to embrace the internet will inevitably go out of business, it is nothing to do with news, it has everything to do with getting corporations on your side. The sensible thing for plutocrats who own these newspapers is not to anger big business, just like it is unwise for a slave to smack his master; the slave will always lose for he is enslaved to his master.




Nor should the naive reader take my word for it either. They should take the word of the man who coined the term 'manufacture of consent,' that man being Walter Lippman. He went so far as to maintain that the manufacture of consent was a good idea. He calls the public, the readers of these newspapers 'ignorant and meddlesome outsiders” 'these are not what he calls 'a specialised class,' these are the class of men that ought to manufacture consent. These are the 'responsible men' who know how to manipulate the public mind. These men, Lippman says, are to lead 'public opinion,' which is the title of his book. Such men are chosen because they are 'experts' and such things as 'public opinion' must be kept within a “specialised class” of people. Interestingly enough Lippmann called the 'national interest' that will protect public opinion from outsiders and subversive meddlers. It is akin to being vetted to be part of this “specialised class”. Don’t forget these are 'responsible me”', and it is only these men who should be able to lead 'public opinion.' Walter Lippman wrote this in 1921.

Gabriel Almond was a political scientist, born to Russian and Ukrainian immigrant parents and the Almond-Lippmann consensus, the similarities between the two men, was based on three assumptions:

Public opinion is volatile, shifting erratically in response to the most recent developments. Mass beliefs early in the 20th century were 'too pacifist in peace and too bellicose in war, too neutralist or appeasing in negotiations or too intransigent'.

Public opinion is incoherent, lacking an organized or a consistent structure to such an extent that the views of US citizens could best be described as 'nonattitudes.'

Public opinion is irrelevant to the policy-making process. Political leaders ignore public opinion because most Americans can neither 'understand nor influence the very events upon which their lives and happiness are known to depend.'

Not so many years later, in 1928, a public relations manual appeared, written by Edward bernays. Along with Lippman, the not so subtle propagandists of their day, in the manual, quite honestly wrote 'It is the intelligent minority which need to use propaganda continuously and systematically.' He starts the book by saying the following:

THE conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.

We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society.

Our invisible governors are, in many cases, unaware of the identity of their fellow members in the inner cabinet.

They govern us by their qualities of natural leadership, their ability to supply needed ideas and by their key position in the social structure. Whatever attitude one chooses to take toward this condition, it remains a fact that in almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons—a trifling fraction of our hundred and twenty million—who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind, who harness old social forces and contrive new ways to bind and guide the world.

Now Bernays called  'the freedom to persuade and suggest' and this was the 'engineering of consent.' This is the very essence of democracy and freedoms, so he claimed. He even said “the conscious and intelligent minorities which need to make use of propaganda.'  The two men, as well as many others of course, were concerned these democratic forms even existed, as they do today, so they claimed it was necessary to control the public mind.

If you are living under a military dictatorship, well for the 'specialised class' or the 'intelligent minority,' a term used by Bernays, it is of lesser importance for the following reason. When you subject people to a military dictatorship, an absolute totalitarian society with a megalomaniac tyrant as your leader, it makes little difference what people THINK because they control what people DO. If you call the despot a bad name, you will be hunted down, imprisoned in a gulag for an indefinite period, tortured, mutilated, murdered, or whatever. But under more democratic forms, the media is they key in controlling the public mind, this has been achieved with a tremendous amount of success. There is vast literature on this, and for good reason it is hidden from the general public. It goes without saying then the capitalistic press has not an ounce of morality, for their main objective, whatever media publication or outlet it may be is to “control the public mind,' the only difference is they are more subtle about it and a little less honest than the likes of Bernays.

These then, the state and mainstream press are clearly not moral, the state being immoral far surpassing the media or indeed anything else. Take the morality of the most important country influentially, the biggest militarily, the richest, and so on, since the second world war is unquestionably the United states, they, since, they sought to control the world, have adopted a global, fascist post-war framework. States that sought to lead an independent path, in creating socialist institutions, adopting impressive and social programs for the poor and unprivileged, forming unions and so forth, going outside U.S-interests is a very dangerous thing indeed and the history on this is very clear. The countries that dared go outside of this hegemonic framework since 1945 are: Italy, France, Albania, Haiti, Cuba, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Brazil, Venezuela, México, Colombia, Perú, the Dominican Republic, Honduras, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Greece, Germany, the Soviet Union, China, South Korea, Indonesia, East Timor, Burma and there are far more.

Maurice Bishop of Guatemala was deposed by the Reaganites because he was attempting to institute the social programs Castro had, because of this, Cuba was subjected to a sustained terror campaign, conducted by the so-called Kennedy liberals, in the early 1960's. Terrorism directed from the U.S included chemical warfare, assassination attempts on Castro, bombing factories. At the same time aggression was being directed towards South Vietnam; chemical and biological warfare was a favourite terrorist ploy by Kennedy. Grenada, for its part, was spared the chemical warfare and mass murder that was seen in Vietnam; considering the population of Grenada at the time was just 110,000 perhaps played a part.

Much of it was about preventing independent nationalism in third-world countries; fascism was much the preferred option for Washington, and for good reason; such states who attempt to free themselves from American imperialism can no longer be dominated by U.S-imposed hegemony. The point here is foreign markets, and opening them up to corporate fascism.  'Opening up' markets is nothing more than thieving and exploiting from such countries. Sukarno, 'the father of democracy' in Indonesia, got rid of monetary fascist institutions like the IMF and the World Bank, for his troubles he was overthrown in a coup, many years later, the country was a haven for corporate fascism, around one million Indonesians had been slaughtered, while thousands languished in prisons. The invasion of East Timor in 1975 took the lives of up to 300,000, out of a population of 650,000; the west watched and rubbed their hands in glee at the profits. In fact they did more than watch; they made sure the bloodshed went on.

Such commentary can go on and on in connection with Washington’s postwar framework. Any independent thought is a very dangerous thing. When the U.S have the propaganda that supersedes any other nation, the U.S have already got their people on their side and of course that is they key, the documented evidence on this speaks for itself. States are not moral agents; they are agents of power, control, domination and terror. Indeed every state takes part in some kind of terror. The free market would have Adam Smith turning in his grave, they are grotesque to the most hideous and grotesque degree. It is true, morals and morality act outside the state, not in it. There are dissident voices of course, but such voices are kept away from office, and for good reason. These monsters can only go on and claim to act virtuously and morally because of mass manipulation and lying, much by the media. Without media complicity in state terror and destruction, no such things would ever take place.

Dante puts Brutus in the darkest pits of hell; Shakespeare paints him as a virtuous hero. Nobody would argue, at least no sensible person would, that Iago, Aaron the Moor, Richard III, are moral beings; they are not. In the world of Shakespeare we see morality scattered everywhere. Take Brutus, he commits the ultimate crime along with his fellow conspirators and assassinates Julius Caesar. An immoral act, so it appears at first sight. The first person to speak after Caesar is stabbed to death is Cinna: 'Liberty! Freedom! Tyranny is dead!' -this, one could argue, was a moral and courageous act because Brutus is saving the citizens of Rome from tyranny and terror. Before the assassination, Brutus speaks with himself in his orchard:

It must be by his death: and for my part,

I know no personal cause to spurn at him,

But for the general. He would be crown'd:

How that might change his nature, there's the question.

It is the bright day that brings forth the adder;

And that craves wary walking. Crown him?--that;--

And then, I grant, we put a sting in him,

That at his will he may do danger with.

The abuse of greatness is, when it disjoins

Remorse from power: and, to speak truth of Caesar,

I have not known when his affections sway'd

More than his reason.

Brutus often speaks with reason, with intellect and above all else, with morality. Brutus has moral intentions; Cassius, his brother, has not. Cassius is a dishonest, corrupt, conniving wretch. Brutus, the moralist, speaks for the 'general,' Cassius speaks only of himself, and of selfish interests, as is highlighted in an early soliloquy:




If I were Brutus now and he were Cassius,

He should not humour me. I will this night,

In several hands, in at his windows throw,

As if they came from several citizens,

Writings all tending to the great opinion

That Rome holds of his name; wherein obscurely

Caesar's ambition shall be glanced at:

And after this let Caesar seat him sure;

For we will shake him, or worse days endure.




Compare this to Brutus’ dialogue in the orchard with cassus:




Let us be sacrificers but not butchers, Caius.

We all stand up against the spirit of Caesar,

And in the spirit of men there is no blood.

Oh, that we then could come by Caesar’s spirit

And not dismember Caesar! But, alas,

Caesar must bleed for it. And, gentle friends,

Let’s kill him boldly but not wrathfully.

Let’s carve him as a dish fit for the gods,

Not hew him as a carcass fit for hounds.

Brutus here, a moralist, knows he must rid Rome of its tyrant, Caesar, and by assassinating him he will free and liberate his fellow Romans of this oppressive tyranny

Fictitious characters of all kinds are made up of virtue, morality, immorality, benevolence, madness and so forth. Of course it is easy to go and give examples of moral persons in works of fiction. In many works of art, we see humanity in the work through the author’s eyes. There are a few exceptions where this does not happen; it happened in Shakespeare's king Lear, we also see it in Harold Pinter’s the Homecoming. We have already agreed the state has no morality, along with the capitalist press. For indeed the people who work for the media and government know the free market to be an unnecessary evil. The question remains: are institutions of authority moral institutions, guided by moral intentions? The armed forces, the police, the law courts, prison officers, probation officers, probation hostels, schools, colleges, universities, the church and so on. These questions will be answered presently.

The Armed Forces

'The killings began without warning. Harry Stanley told the C.I.D. that one young member of (William) Calley's platoon took a civilian into custody and then "pushed the man up to where we were standing and then stabbed the man in the back with his bayonet. . . . The man fell to the ground and was gasping for breath: The GI then killed him with another bayonet thrust or by shooting him with a rifle. . . . There was so many people killed that day it is hard for me to recall exactly how some of the people died." The youth next "turned to where some soldiers were holding another forty or fifty-year-old man in custody." He "picked this man up and threw him down a well. Then [he] pulled the pin from a M26 grenade and threw it in after the man." Moments later Stanley saw "some old women and some little children--fifteen or twenty of them--in a group around a temple where some incense was burning. They were kneeling and crying and praying, and various soldiers . . . walked by and executed these women and children by shooting them in the head with their rifles. The soldiers killed all fifteen or twenty of them. . . ." There were few physical protests from the people; about eighty of them were taken quietly from their homes and herded together in the plaza area. A few hollered out, "No VC. No VC." But that was hardly unexpected. Calley left Meadio, Boyce and a few others with the responsibility of guarding the group. "You know what I want you to do with them, " he told Meadlo. Ten minutes later--about 8:15 a.m.--he returned and asked, "Haven't you got rid of them yet? I want them dead." Radioman Sledge, who was trailing Calley, heard the officer tell Meadlo to "waste them." Meadlo followed orders: "We stood about ten to fifteen feet away from them and then he [Calley] started shooting them. Then he told me to start shooting them. I started to shoot them. So we went ahead and killed them. I used more than a whole clip--used four or five clips." There are seventeen Ml6 bullets in each clip. Boyce slipped away, to the northern side of the hamlet, glad he hadn't been asked to shoot. Women were huddled against children, vainly trying to save them. Some continued to chant, "No VC." Others simply said, "No. No. No. . .'

This passage is taken from Seymour M Hersh’s investigative piece of journalism from 1969, massacre at Mai Lai. It highlights the absolute immorality of the soldier, this Mai Lai massacre which took place during what is hideously called 'The Vietnam War.' To call what happened in Mai Lai as a moral act or a series of moral acts would be a rather peculiar and particularly outrageous position to take. It is often the case foreign invading armies never get 'found out”,'what happened in Mai Lai was, to coin a phrase, 'the tip of the iceberg,' for those willing to shoot young children, even babies, in the back of the head, are nothing more than crazed immoralists. Other Mail Lai’s happened during America’s campaign of mass murder, it did not happen tens of times, perhaps not even hundreds, but thousands of times more. Hersh continues:

'Doc Chuc is a gnarled forty-eight-year-old Vietnamese peasant whose two daughters and an aunt were killed by the GIs in Mai Lai 4 that day. He and his family had been eating breakfast when the GIs entered the hamlet and ordered them out of their homes. Together with the other villagers, they were marched a few hundred metres into the plaza, where they were told to squat...then the shooting started...other villagers who were breakfasting indoors were killed inside their homes...By this time the shooting was everywhere...Brooks and his men in the second Platoon to the north had began systematically to ransack the hamlet and slaughter people, kill the livestock and destroy the crops. Men poured rifle and machine-gun fire into huts without knowing-or seemingly caring-who was inside...Ray Wood, once one of Calley’s men who was working next to Brook’s Platoon, stormed into a hut, saw an elderly man hiding inside along with his wife and two young daughters. “I hit him with my rifle and pushed him out”...The second Platoon went into Mai Lai 4 with guns blazing...Charles West sighted and shot six Vietnamese, some with baskets, on the edge of Mai Lai 4...when two correspondents entered Mai Lai 4, they saw dead animals, dead people, burning huts and houses. A few GIs were going through victims’ clothing, looking for piastries. Another GI was chasing a duck with a knife; others stood around watching a GI slaughter a cow with a bayonet...Haeberle noticed a man and two small children walking towards a group of GIs: ‘They just kept walking towards us...you could hear the little girl saying,”No, no”…All of a sudden the GIs opened up and cut them down. Later he watched a machine-gunner open fire on a group of civilians-women, children and babies-who had been collected in a big circle...Carter also saw an officer grab a woman by the hair and shoot her with a 45-calibre pistol: “He held her by the hair then let her go and she fell to the ground...one further incident stood in many GIs minds: seconds after the shooting stopped, a bloodied and unhurt two-year-old boy miraculously crawled out of the ditch, crying. He began running towards the hamlet. someone hollered, “There’s a kid”. There was a long pause. Then Calley ran back into the ditch and shot him.'

It is true, states fall into different categories of terrorism. The elite terror states are, clearly, the worst offenders, then there are the medium terror states, and finally, lower. But it must be emphasised that ALL states are terror states. and is important for everybody to bear that in mind before they go to the ballot box. People who support their armed forces, and there are many of them, have blood on their hands. 

The large passage above is just one example of many, of what foreign armies get up to when deployed in alien lands. They indeed are not moral agents, it would be wrong to suggest otherwise. The only morality which exists in the soldier is the deserter and they often end up in one of those vile institutions, prison. But the role of the soldier has far more fundamental questions to answer. It is true, the soldier 'fighting for their own country,' are taking part in terror but many of them do not even know it. These men, with large boots, and even larger guns, believe they are doing a great service for their country. What fools! What incredulity! What idiocy! Lay people wave their imperial poppies because they wish to honour their heroes. Such perversity is unparallelled. To criticise “one of our heroes” nowadays is akin to butchering a child.  'Outrage!' 'scandal!' 'an enemy!' 'sacrilege!'  it is the stuff of nightmares.

Go to any war zone, and you will find acts of terror. You will see abductions, you will see villages and entire towns burned to the ground, you will see torturers inflicting pain upon poor and innocent civilians, you will see bloody murder, rape and pillage. This is the role of the soldier. We 'worship our heroes' for torturing innocent men, raping his innocent wife and murdering their innocent children. We 'worship our heroes' for driving tanks through churches, through schools, through hospitals, and destroying everybody and everything in them. We 'worship our heroes' for holding entire nations hostage, for systematically rounding up men, women and children and subjecting them to untold horrors. The soldier must be condemned for the simple fact that he is a soldier. 

Let us now throw a parade for 'our heroes' who have subjugated an entire nation, so let us, the supporters of murder, rape and pillage, honour these killing machines. They love their country, at least that is what they believe, they love their country when they are paid a pittance to risk their lives for the imperial actions of the state. 'Revaluation of all values! 'says Nietzsche. Without the soldier war is not an option. 

Police

'Dear Mr. President: In the last few days, news has appeared in the national press that worries me greatly. According to the reports, your government is studying the possibility of economic and military support and assistance to the present government junta. Because you are a Christian and because you have shown that you want to defend human rights, I venture to set forth for you my pastoral point of view in regard to this news and to make a specific request of you. I am very concerned by the news that the government of the United States is planning to further El Salvador’s arms race by sending military equipment and advisors to “train three Salvadoran battalions in logistics, communications, and intelligence.” If this information from the papers is correct, instead of favoring greater justice and peace in El Salvador, your government’s contribution will undoubtedly sharpen the injustice and the repression inflicted on the organized people, whose struggle has often been for respect for their most basic human rights. The present government junta and, especially, the armed forces and security forces have unfortunately not demonstrated their capacity to resolve in practice the nation’s serious political and structural problems.'

The above passage is a letter sent to the former U.S President Jimmy Carter, in February, 1980. It was sent by Oscar Arnulfo Romero. The following month he was assassinated; mourners at his funeral were shot by the national police. It was a bloody massacre, and the footage was even filmed, so we can see El Salvador’s police, playing the part of the death squad, something Himmler would have approved of. The brutality of the police in El Salvador happened not just on that day or even the day before that or indeed the day after. The murders were constant and grotesque. 

People are often gullible and naive when it comes to the role of the police. They believe, quite frivolously, that the police function to protect people and deter crime. What nonsense! They admit to all sorts of perverse crimes because they know, in most cases, they are able to get away with such violations and become immune from prosecution. They have authority, they have power; they also have the bludgeon, and in countries where more democratic forms function they use more subtle ways to terrorise individuals, and are rewarded for their troubles. They knowingly imprison innocent people, falsify information, lie on oath, infiltrate peaceful protest groups, and in the process commit outrageous crimes; they abuse their powers by sexually assaulting women and even children; harass, beat and wrongfully arrest people, and above all that shoot and murder people when they know they are able to get away with it, but the cover-up must begin immediately.

There can be no doubt the state has mastered the art of organised violence; nobody does it better. An analogy can be drawn here: the government may well be the mafia and the police, the assassins these mafia thugs employ to murder and torture people they take a strong dislike to. It is the police that carry out acts of criminality and extreme violence, while the politicians sitting in parliament thieve taxpayers’ well-earned money and spend it on their lavish lifestyles. The police, above all, are an unnecessary evil. Yet like the soldier, the population must be forced into a frenzy to honour these detestable brutes and honour their 'brave' actions. Revaluation of all values! The police of all kinds have now become experts in propaganda techniques. They attend schools and pretend they are concerned about the welfare of these youngsters. They meet members of the public, organise meetings and explain what they are doing to reduce crime. 

They are able to search whom they wish and carry out police checks. Now these police gangs are everywhere to make sure crime levels are high, except in election year of course. We see them in children’s schools; in drinking establishments; even at leftist meetings. It is here where they are waging a war against leftists of all kinds: socialists, communists, anarchists, even supine liberals. They infiltrate such meetings and protest groups, before long the people they are infiltrating have had them name added to some register or other.

These, lest we forget, are countries which have strong democratic forms. If this was not the case, the police on the streets would be acting as death squads, but in these societies, because they no longer have the bludgeon, they can no longer control what you do.  

Those good people who have moral intentions; virtue; good manners; a noble mind for sympathy with others often go on demonstrations and protest marches. Yet, the police do everything they can to cause aggression and violence, for nobody, apart from the protesters themselves will be made aware protests are taking place, unless violence and aggression breaks out. Then the capitalist press spread it all over the covers of their papers. As is often the case the police are the aggressors but that seldom gets reported. In terms of arrests, they are very content to put innocents behind bars, this is more successful with more vulnerable people. 

Law Courts

'Let us convince ourselves once and for all that laws are merely useless and dangerous; their only objective is to multiply crimes or allow them to be committed with impunity on account of the secrecy they necessitate. Without laws and it is impossible to imagine the degree of glory and grandeur human knowledge would have attained by now; the way these base restraints have retarded progress is unbelievable; and that is the sole service they have rendered to man.'

Donatian de Sade

Almost every criminal case which reaches court the defendant is not the biggest criminal in the court; no, it is the judge. These judges of various sorts sit there, in which they call 'my court,' handing out prison sentences to victims of capitalist societies.  'The biggest crime,' wrote Bernard Shaw, “is poverty.' The rich Lord does not rob because he has no place to live or food to eat, he robs, because like judges, he has no morality. He robs because he knows he is immune from prosecution. He does not rob in the usual way either. He receives what we may call 'expenses,' robbed from the taxpayer. The free market, a crypto fascist framework, allows people of privilege to commit the most grotesque crimes. Laws are in place to protect the rich; noble Lords, private investors and so forth, and enjoy instilling free market discipline on the very poor.

In Britain the law courts are something of nightmares. The judge wears wig as if he were impersonating Jonathan Swift, Isaac Newton or Immanuel Kant. Likewise lawyers or indeed barristers go along with this farce and take part in the pantomime. It is rather amusing and entertaining for everyone involved save the defendant and their family. The defendant, must not, in any circumstances, address the judge; this will place them in 'contempt of court.' Then victims will find themselves sent to prison for 'contempt of court.'  'So why are you in prison you dirty little thug?'   'For speaking to the judge,' responds the victim. This is utterly outrageous. 

The judge is the Devil incarnate. He, for it is usually a he, has the power to destroy a person’s life completely. He has more powers than a fictitious superhero, and no one dare oppose the sentences he hands out to these poor victims. These courtrooms are more like pantomimes with the victim playing the villain. All criminals in the one place together! The lawyers defending their client, the victim, speaks with the prosecuting lawyers behind closed doors and in the courts they laugh and joke, as does the judge. These lawyers, immoral creatures, dream about handsome paychecks. That is why the following happens: the rich are given the best representation with the best lawyer the company has to offer. The poor clients, the victims of capitalist society, are offered no such luxury. They are given pathetic representation. That is why the walls of oppression are filled with illiterates and uneducated women and men.

These judges do not sentence defendants on offences but on their person. The politician, the banker, the judge, the General, the doctor, the professor, the economist, the CEO will be handed out light sentences because of who they are and the quality of representation they receive in these pantomime halls. The police officer and the soldier, as we have seen, use acts of violence on innocents but the judge’s violence is rather different. The violence is not physical but of another sort. It is psychological violence and psychological torture which the judge has the power to impose on the pantomime villains.

Appointed dictator for life!  'A NEW VACANCY HAS ARISEN FOR A JUDGE, ARE YOU A FILTHY IMMORALIST WITH INDIFFERENCE TO HUMAN EMOTION AND SYMPATHY FOR OTHERS? ARE YOU A SOCIOPATH? WOULD YOU BEAT DIRTY WHORES AND TRAMPS TO DEATH IF YOU HAD THE BRUTE FORCE TO DO SO? DO YOU WANT POWER AND AUTHORITY OVER OTHERS? DO YOU BELIEVE IN ETHNIC CLEANSING AND ETHNIC VIOLENCE? ARE YOU A RACIST FANATIC? IF THE ANSWER TO ALL THESE QUESTIONS IS YES WE WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU”.




The judge has little idea in differentiating between reality and fantasy. Sending these victims to prison is a little game for these people. Can we really believe these judges think by sending unfortunates to prisons makes them a better person? That it increases their life chances? It makes reoffending less likely? It was once proposed to me every judge should go to prison before sending anybody else there. I rejected the idea outright because these judges would still send these pantomime villains to the walls of oppression.




Freedom! Liberty! Justice! Such things are shouted from time to time but these things can not exist while we have pantomime courts. The judge has the freedom to wear a ludicrous wig; the defendant has the freedom to shut his mouth and say nothing. Revaluation of all values! Judges, nowadays, use dreadful language that is often employed in the tabloid press. “You criminal”, “you wretch”, “you crook”, “you pervert”, “ you sicko”, “you savage”, “you brute”, “you barbarian”, and so on. It is also this same press which persuades judges to hand out longer sentences. In many instances these judges act outside the law.




These judges often speak of justice. These clowns fit for a faulty circus think that by sending these victims to prison that is justice, or at least they say as much. Justice to these trifling fools is locking up people, and forcing the hardworking taxpayer to pay for their incarceration. By justice they mean punishment, and anybody who believes in punishment to fix society’s ills can never be taken seriously. Imprisonment guarantees one thing: an increase in crime. “I condemn you”, the judge says. What hypocrisy by these clowns. The judge ought to be condemned by everyone.




The authority of a judge, any judge, is illegitimate. It would be unsurprising when the courts are closed these judges had special keys which allowed them private access, taking their own personal frying pans and cooking bacon sandwiches, and hiring prostitutes, getting upto all sorts of scandalous behaviour. The courts themselves are nothing more than amateur pantomimes, staged by jokers. They ought to be abolished and closed down and used to house the homeless; to be turned into hospitals, schools and libraries. These courts are dungeons, and there are many of them. They ought not to exist and by not existing they would create a better and more tolerant society. They should indeed send these defendants to the walls of oppression when this two-tier justice system is dismantled. This can never happen because those in power, all of them, risk life behind bars.




Prisons




In practice, society has retained the primitive motive in dealing with the offender; that is, revenge. It has also adopted the theological idea; namely, punishment; while the legal and “civilized” consist of deference or terror, and reform...Year after year the gates of prison hells return to the world an emaciated, deformed, will-less, ship-wrecked crew of humanity, with the caim mark on their foreheads, their hopes crushed, all their natural inclinations thwarted with nothing but hunger and humanity to greet them, these victims soon sink back into crime as the only possibility of existence...Nothing short of a reconstruction of society will deliver mankind from the cancer of crime...Although...man is supposed to be considered innocent until proven guilty, the instruments of the law, the police, carry out a reign of terror, making indiscriminate arrests, beating, clubbing, bullying people, using the barbarous method of the “third degree”, subjecting their unfortunate victims to the foul air of the station house, and the still fouler language of its guardians. Yet crimes are rapidly multiplying and society is paying the price. On the other hand, it s an open secret when the unfortunate citizen has been given the full “mercy” of the law, and for the sake of safety it is hidden in the worst of hells, his cavalry begins. Robbed of his rights as a human being, degraded to a mere automation without will of feeling, dependent entirely upon the mercy of brutal keepers, he daily goes through a process of dehumanization, compared with which savage revenge was mere child’s play.

Emma Goldman




Can it be true prisons still exist in the twenty-first century? For what purpose? For what intention? All sorts of monstrous totalitarian states imprison their fiercest critics, these political prisoners are imprisoned in savage societies, any opposition to these tyrants and they will be accompanied to these walls of oppression. But in more democratic societies this does not happen, instead, people everywhere are imprisoned for what many people would regard as “crimes”, these include murder, attempted murder, conspiracy to murder, rape, attempted rape, conspiracy to rape, sexual assault, theft, battery, fraud, perverting the course of justice, GBH, ABH, common assault, public order offences and so on.




Prison’s aim is to destroy the spirit and soul of the individual, and often it works. It is the most barbaric of all institutions but the emphasis is on “helping” say these politicians by sending them to prison, such statements do not even rise to the level of idiocy. In these vile institutions prisoners are forced to eat the most grotesque “food”, no, it is not even food at all, even animals should not even have to endure such garbage. Often the food contains pubic hair, sperm, and other obscenities or the prisoner starves. Forced labour exists, if the prison refuses they are punished severely and their privileges are taken away from them. For rights do not exist in prison. This is in Britain, not in North korea or China.




Now laws are being created everyday to make it easier to send more people to enter prison. Why does this happen? The answer to this question is quite simple. To control the population and create a sense of terror at the same time; it is social control. Much of this is to do with class war, this war has been going on for generations and will continue to go on. Those who speak of sending people to prison as a moral act is a total absurdity. Remove a mother or father from their child by sending them to prison is punishing an entire family and it must be accepted people all over the place are just products of their environment.




The state is able to commit crimes on an unprecedented scale and be immune from prosecution but the little man with the hammer, or the woman working as a full-time housewife have no such luxury. Stealing, or rather taking bread because you are hungry because the state have forced you and your family into poverty is an imprisonable “offence” in many parts of the world; instead taking bread without paying, starve you little wretches!




Over the last hundred years prison life has changed very little. Nothing exists in these walls of oppression; you as a person no longer exist. You are an unperson, you are of no significance in the world, and it is true the prisoner is more free than the prison officer or anybody else, but only in the mind. But this is of little comfort because physically they are a free as fish in a fish tank. Indeed they have nowhere to go. For the years prisoners have been incarcerated there is to be no shopping; no Christmas parties, no parties of any kind for that matter. All the prisoner sees on a day-to-day basis is other prisoners and prison officers, who like nothing better than to make prisoners’ life a misery. The prisoners’ jobs are lost; careers in ruins; their homes gone forever. This is the stuff of nightmares. Prison is an immoral institution and ought to be abolished. For no decent society would even think of having a single prison. What shame! What lament! What suffering! What repugnance! “Finally”, says the slave of humanity, “these shackles are taken off me and now I am free, free, free!” There is a very degrading and base structure in place for ex-prisoners, and that structure is a fascist one. We, the enemy of morality; the enemy of reason; the enemy of hope; the enemy of liberty which is the state, they will eliminate the ex-prisoner from society indefinitely. Work, work, work! You vile criminals must tell your prospective employers of your dirty criminal past. Worse still, the same prisoner, and let us remember, this is in more democratic societies, is unable to work almost anywhere. Many prisoners will never teach again, never nurse, they are excluded from working with the public completely. This is fascism to end all fascism. Yet the state attempt to justify their actions. They can never be justified. Try and justify the unjustified. “Come, you little vile ex-convict, come back to prison”. Such is the morality of the state which is just as decrepit as these walls of oppression.




Let’s place the mentally ill in prison for all eternity, let us place those with a child’s mind, thoughts and feelings, in prison indefinitely, and so on. This prisoner will never wake up from the horrific nightmare because in truth it is no nightmare at all, the only nightmare they are living is the existence in these dungeons. They can not escape this drudgery; their only escape is suicide. Those who support the very existence of prisons really ought to be ashamed of themselves. These villains, these wretches should really develop a conscience, a fragment of humility; sympathy and empathy for others; to think of the human cost; the annihilation of the soul; of the spirit; of the will to live. They act like savages; like rogues; like demons; like monsters in supporting these things called prisons. The universal crime is sending these poor victims to prison. It is easy to say what an animal a prisoner is for doing this or doing that. It is far harder to say to say that we as a society must help this person and help them become a good citizen yet again.




Probation Officers




Control! Damnation! Manipulation! These probation officers decide where their little victim lives; where they work; what infantile courses they are coerced into attending and so on. The role of the probation officer is very Orwellian. For we are told they are there to help, reform, guide and manage the “offender”, when in fact they are demoralising them to the basest degree. For every ten probation officers one is well-intentioned; this goes through all areas of authority. Reports, reports, reports; we must write reports! They play their malicious games in manipulating their victim. Every question they pose must end only in one answer, if any other answer is uttered, they must attend courses, courses, courses! and think like their probation officers. These courses are in fact designed to force, or at least an attempt to force the individual to think like “we would like you to”, and other thought patterns will earn the status of a “very high risk”. Any kind of independent thought patterns must be stopped at all times, at the very best, prevented. This is why these probation officers would prefer these victims of capitalist society.




These imbecilic courses are designed for what? to stop the young girl from stealing bread? This person maybe starving, but no matter! You must respect the law the government imposes. It is as black and white as that. Think of the person you have stolen bread from, they would say, so this young girl, in preventing her sadistic probation officer from sending her back to the walls of oppression, thinks, on this course, which is a total absurdity, how the person she took the bread from, would feel. The bread, let us imagine, was taken from the supermarket, who indeed is the victim? The billionaire owner of this colossal company? Indeed. We now, must feel empathy and sympathy for the scourges of inhumanity. These courses reduce the individual’s thinking to a mere child. This is nothing more than indoctrination. What happens if you have an independent mind, and do not accept the rational views of the fanatics running the course? Why of course, you are given bad reports, reports! “You must think like us, it will be easier. You will be less-controlled, less-manipulated, and we will no longer threaten you”.




Quell this disobedient rage! It should be clear why these courses function. These courses are nothing more than finding out an individual’s most intimate feelings, emotions, views, principles and so forth. This information is stored away for various agencies to look at and so forth. This is why more and more crimes are being created, or rather laws, so people can attend these absurd courses. We must not forget either, these practices happen where democratic forms function. These courses are one element of controlling and monitoring the individuals, or to use their perverse language “the offender”, they do not even use words like ex-offender.




You are free because you have been released from the walls of oppression; what fool says this? Your slavery has just begun. You are now held by the throat, and your vile crimes, as the state likes to call them, allows us to make your life a misery until you die because we have that justification, justification, justification! The man or indeed woman with unusually long legs should shout through a megaphone: “these probation officers are experts in nothing, as are politicians. They are muddle-headed, their education is limited, they do not even know the words nihilistic, existentialist, metaphysical or avant-garde mean, neither do they wish to know what they mean. What ignorance! what stupidity! what fools! These probation officers are a bunch of oafs!”




Yet the oaf cares not for their own stupidity and idiocy because they have the power over their underlings! Why else be a probation officer? There is no other reason. To help people? WARNING: people who utter this nonsense will be attended with uncontrollable laughter. Do these probation officers, as they call themselves, enjoy the company of convicted “offenders”. They like them so much they choose a career in being around such people. This probation officer may wish to write in her diary that she spoke to 28 people today. What perversity! Are these people revealing anecdotes about helpless victims being bludgeoned to death! These indeed are warped criminals, warped, warped, warped!




It has been concluded probation officers, well most of them in any case, are highly immoral beings, they have not one inch of morality in them. They would paint themselves as grand moralists. They think to be governed is legitimate; they think MPs in parliament are democrats!




These people are robots! Their brains contain batteries and the state apparatus has the control! “Must obey authority; must obey authority”. They must repeat it twice for fear of forgetting. Working for the government is shameful. This “offender”, is guided by strings, and the probation officer pulls them and decides where this person goes. They are in complete control of the person’s life. Only death, exile and the walls of oppression are their only escape, or as most do, endure the nightmare. Revaluation of all values! They wish to turn the “offender’s” brain into cabbage; it is the intention of all figures of authority to turn productive brains into mere cabbages.




Probation Hostels

The main aim of the probation hostel is to monitor the “offender”. It is quite easy for people who possess defects of immorality to rub their hands in glee in sending the life’s unfortunates back to the walls of oppression. In societies where more democratic functions exist this can be for more trivial matters. Missing an appointment with their probation officer; missing their curfews at the circus filled with clowns; for not keeping their room tidy; for failing to leave the premises for the fire-drill; for missing courses at the hostel. How is one to breathe when these unreasonable conditions are forced upon people! Freedom! Whoever heard of such talk! Such unfortunate victims of capitalism shall never be able exist as they were before they were sent to the walls of oppression. It is a kafkaesque nightmare for these people, and the nightmare continues infinitum. These hostel staff are bigger clowns than Ronald Reagan! They are living outside of morality; indeed they are fantasists. They abide by the rules if sordid “justice”.




The technique of these circus clowns is simple, and yet it works. They reduce the individual to a child. This is also the case with the prison officer but it is also practised by the hostel staff. The courses which take place at the hostels attempt to root out any kind of independent thought. When independent thoughts are indeed recognised, they are noted because such people become a danger to authority. They may challenge authoritarian and tyrannical rules and instructions, and induce others to questions things. This is what, in political terms is called the “domino effect”, but instead of countries, it is individuals who have the capacity to think freely and pull away from imperialist tyrants.




It is quite astonishing that reoffending rates are not higher. Perhaps they are. When individuals are recalled back to the walls of oppression for whatever reason this is not considered a crime but a “breach”, what lovely terminology. Targets, targets, targets! Targets must be met. How perverse! Unfortunates are forced on useless courses so probation officers can tick their boxes, just like the young child is given a gold star for doing well at school. These courses, such figures of authority claim, “reduce reoffending”. For every “offender” they introduce courses for. The courses are attended by life’s unfortunates and they tell us it “rehabilitates” them. What nonsense! What rubbish! If these people are rehabilitated why must they be constantly monitored and forced to sign this or that because they are deemed a risk to such and such. This is what Orwell calls Big Brother. Indeed. Big Brother has arrived.




Schools

Far from creating independent thinkers, schools have always, throughout history, played an institutional role in the history of control and coercion. And once you are well educated, you have always been socialized in ways that support the power structure, which, in turn, rewards you immensely...The indoctrination is necessary because schools are, by and large, designed to support the interests of the dominant segment of society, those people have the wealth and power. Early on in your education you are socialized to understand the need to support the power structure, primarily corporations-the business class. The lesson you learn in the socialization through education is that if you don’t support interest of the people who have wealth and power, you don’t survive very long. You are just weeded out of the system or marginalized...A good teacher knows the best way to teach students is to allow them is to allow them to find the truth themselves...true learning comes about through the discovery of truth, not through the imposition of an official truth. That never leads to development of independent and critical thought. It is the obligation of any teacher to help students discover the truth and not to suppress information and insights that may be embarrassing to the wealthy and powerful people who create, design, and make policies about schools...The educated classes have mostly supported the propaganda apparatus throughout history, and when deviation from doctrinal purity is suppressed or marginalized, the propaganda machine generally enjoys great success...The educated class has been called a “specialized class”, a small group of people who analyze, execute, make decisions, and run things in the political, economic, and ideological systems.

Noam Chomsky At school is where it all begins. This is where propaganda and indoctrination starts. To be aware the web of lies you are ensnared in, you have to remove yourself from the indoctrinal system; this is very hard to do and this thought control has proved to be extremely successful. The parent is punished if their child misses days at school, for getting out of this system, punishment is their reward. This is why they have what we call a “curriculum”, things we demand you read and study. Children do not read what they wish to in schools. In Britain you do not learn about the criminality of the British Empire in India, Burma, Jamaica, Ireland, Kenya, and elsewhere; in Turkey children do not learn about the Armenian genocide; in the United States, youngsters are not taught in schools about the state support for genocide in Indonesia or the “secret bombing” in Cambodia; in Australia children do not learn of the true and quite gruesome history of the aboriginals. These, lest we forget, are “democratic” countries.




So truths in schools are never told. This is part of the reason why there is no longer a serious anarchist movement of any kind, socialism has just blended in with conservatism, this is certainly true in Europe, in the U.S it has been subverted to a much higher degree, Communists and even Liberals have been ousted. The entire leftist movements around Europe are not the left Bertrand Russell or Herbert Marcuse had imagined. These movements have been literally smashed into tiny pieces. What is taught in schools instead is how to be obedient to your imperial master, and in countries such as the U.S and Britain, any dogma deviating from official dogma is “unpatriotic”. The beauty of this system is that people are so unaware of it and that is not even debated in the capitalist media. That would be totally unacceptable.




Intellectuals get away with documenting such things because most people are unaware they even exist so they are left alone to do as they wish, while government continue on other things like class war, protecting elites from paying higher taxes and so forth.




Pacify the youngsters and soon enough the streets will be surrounded by docile wretches, this is what has happened with devastating effects. State violence in countries where democratic forms function, is no longer the order of the day. Indoctrinating children from the moment they step into playschool until they have left school is a system of manipulating their impressionable minds. If these youngsters grew up being aware of the truth, or how the world works, or how power works and so on they would be totally isolated. As a journalist they would find it very difficult to even find employment with the capitalist press; as teachers or professors they would be sidelined and restricted and censored to what they could do and say by a very large margin. As a politician your name will be unknown and your voice will not be heard. It is a struggle.




The fact that these issues are not debated anywhere in the capitalist press shows the fragility of state power. In Britain this is evident. The state successfully attempts to implant into people’s minds that the country is filled with sexual deviants whose main aim in life is to want to molest children, so the state uses this as a justification in putting the most kafkaesque controls on people. Public sector workers in the same country are now terrified about going on harmless peaceful demonstrations, because any minor scuffle of any kind and their entire careers are over. One can not work in the public sector with even the most trivial of criminal convictions. It is all part of the tactics of a criminal state; of a docile pacified state. What they are taught in schools is just a load of fabricated nonsense. They are taught how the structures of power work, they are taught nothing of any real importance, indeed, more truthful information can be gained through reading the capitalist press.




“The world exists for the education of each man”, wrote Emerson. It ought to exist for every man, woman and child, but rather it is miseducation. Is this freedom; is this democracy; is this liberty? Freedom exists nowhere, the only possible place it can exist is in the mind. Freedom can never exist when you are ruled over by a government and by authoritative figures, that is not freedom; it is authoritarian and is sordid in every imaginable way.




What is needed is a total rejection of the state, schools ought not to be in the hands of the state but in the hands of communities and collectives, volunteer groups as well as charity organisations in assisting and help develop programs in local areas. This ought to be done everywhere. For the government and all its thugs, whoever they may be, enjoy abusing the child’s mind and preventing them from knowing the evils that persist in the world.




Colleges and Universities

Those who believe that radical social change is imperative in our society are faced with a dilemma when they consider University reform. They want the university to be a free institution, and they want the individuals in it to use this freedom in a civilized way...university reform, in my opinion, should be directed as such goals as these: not toward imposing constraints, but rather toward lessening them; not toward enjoining the work which is now often dominant-much of which I Personally detestable-but toward opening up alternatives...the university should compensate for the distorting factors introduced by external demands, which necessarily reflect the distribution of power in extra-university society, and by the dynamics of professionalization, which, though not objectionable in itself, often tends to orient study toward problems that can be dealt with existing techniques and away from those that require new understanding. The university should be a center for radical social enquiry...for example, it should loosen its institutional reforms even further, to permit a richer variety of work and study and experimentation, and it should provide a home for the free intellectual, for the social critic, for irreverent and radical thinking that is desperately needed if we are to escape from the dismal reality that threatens to overwhelm us...these, I think, are the real barriers to serious reform and innovation in the universities as matters now stand...these are the primary problems that should motivate and direct efforts to change the university. In general I think that the so-called now left has a task of historic importance...these are goals that can easily be forgotten in the heat of conflict, but they remain valid ones, and one can only hope that they will be continually resurrected as a guide to positive action.

Noam Chomsky




Oxford and Harvard University are immoral institutions. In Oxford, dissidents and critics of state power, Marxists, nihilists, anarcho-syndicalists are rooted out. Oxford students are geared toward elite positions of state power and authority. Almost every postwar British Prime Minister went to Oxford and this fact is very illuminating. It is true independent thought in these institutions is essential places such as Harvard, this does not happen, on the contrary. At these elitist places of learning, you are expected to think a certain way, and if you are able to manipulate the truth, you are rewarded for it. Take, for example, politicians, journalists, writers, newspaper editors and so forth that go to to Oxford. It is here where you are taught to be subservient to state power, you form “connections” and “contacts” when you can become the next “star” but you must abide by the rules and regulations. It is almost a grooming process. Richard Dawkins, Mary Beard, Timothy Garton Ash, Stephen Hawking, A.C Grayling…




Richard Dawkins is so free market orientated it is not even funny anymore; it is true he reads the capitalist press and writes dull and boring uninteresting things, aside from the important books on biology he writes on; Mary Beard is similar in many respects. She only speaks within the narrow framework of state power and dares not go outside it. She appears regularly on BBC television which tells you a great deal; Timothy Garton Ash is a repugnant fellow who expresses distasteful views, and at times comes across as a crazed lunatic. He lies a great deal, and deliberately misinforms his readers about important issues and events. As for Grayling, his so-called political writings are anything as bad as Martin Amis has written. There is no independent learning at Oxford, it is full of hypocritical, dishonest rogues, and the people who study and lecture there know it. The postgraduates of this damned place often get jobs working for the government; in the capitalist press; professors of universities; writers of various sorts, fascistic economists, CEOs of appalling companies.




The Church




It is not at all difficult to prove, history in hand, that the church, that all the churches, Christian and non-Christian, by the side of their spiritualistic propagandism, and probably to accelerate and consolidate the success thereof, have never neglected to organise themselves into great corporations for the economic exploitation of the masses under the protection and with direct and special blessing of some divinity or other; that all the states, which originally, as we know, with all their political and judicial institutions and their dominant and privileged classes, have been only temporal branches of various churches, have likewise had principally in view this same exploitation for the benefit of lay minorities, indirectly sanctioned by the church; finally and in general, that the action of the good God and of all the divine idealities on earth has ended at last, always and everywhere, in finding the prosperous materialism of the few over the fanatical and constantly famishing idealism of the masses

Michael Bakunin




The religious fanatic says my only book I possess is the Quran or the Bible. These individuals who go to church, and there are many of them, are even bigger slaves than the rest of us. Their views, beliefs, principles, thoughts, ethics, morals, and so forth are all known to many. For they are written in these religious texts. An argument then naturally follows: do these people who go to church even have thoughts and views of their own? The answer can only be no. They are indeed told what to think, and it has to be said this benefits nobody better than the government. Religion has vast similarities with popular culture. That corridor of garbage that enters our heads has the same function as organised religion and those deprived churches. Their aim is to control, subvert and pacify the mind of the whole community. If the state can get the population outside of the political arena and into these churches to worship, government is succeeding in its mission. To mock and mimic religion is easy, to mock prayers of faith is easier. There is a more macabre and threatening element at play here: authority in the church.




These men, for they are usually men, are immoral miscreants. We know only too well god does not exist, and of course much of these religious texts are just fabricated nonsense. They instill fear into the masses and terrorise people by using threatening language, speaking of the “hell-fire” and such things. Children are threatened and shouted down to if they do not submit to this oppressive authority. Then come the threats of burning in hell, eternal damnation. The Bishops, Imams and Rabbis alienate these youngers and these people know no rational person with a free mind would never believe in such a thing as god in the twenty-first century. So they have to develop and invent new ways to convert youngsters to this fraud. These are the sorts of people who force their obscene and perverted views on others.




What values do these churches believe in? They believe in homophobia, misogyny child abuse and so forth. The Islamic faith dedicates itself to repressing women; persecuting homosexuals; punishing women for being raped; this even includes children. The woman in Islamic states is a non-person, she does not exist and must obey the almighty man, this sort of repression has been rampant and constant. This religion, sad to say, is ultra-fascist, for they eliminate everybody else, for they are of no importance. Islam is grotesque and so are its leaders. It ought to be condemned for its brutality and inhumanity. No child should ever be labelled an Islamic child .




These Christians think they are better, but it is not the case. What makes a man want to become a Roman Catholic Priest? His sexual lust for children? Sexual abuse against children amongst Catholic Priests is so widespread that we must use that dreadful word “conspiracy”, because after the abuse has taken place, and much of this abuse is totally sadistic, we are not talking here of psychopaths or sociopaths, there is a systematic cover-up by everybody, and this is accepted in the Catholic church. Catholic Priests like to molest children, it is true, and they do it largely with impunity.




The ultra-orthodox Jew thinks he has a right to walk around with a long, unkept, outdated, frizzly beard, with a ridiculous hat on, going around beating and insulting Jewish women for not sticking to the obscenities of the ultra-orthodox faith. These are the great oppressors of humanity, they utter their filth, their garbage and their bile. Everybody else are mere “gentiles”, this fascist mentality is predominant in the Jewish faith. They believe they are “the chosen people”. These Sun-God worshippers are not only slaves to the state but they are slaves to the church also.




Nowadays we have to respect people who practice these faiths. Why do we? Do they respect atheists, agnosticism nihilists, Marxists, Maoists. Leninists, Darwinists and so forth? certainly not. Do we call our young children Trotskyists and Thatcherites? It would be an odd thing if we did. Why then, is it perfectly acceptable to call your child a Muslim child, a Christian child or a Jewish child? This should be unacceptable. This is nothing more than child abuse, what they are doing is preventing their child from developing an independent mind. They are stopping them from thinking independently, rationally, coherently and reasonably. The child has no values, the only values she or he has are values forced down their throats. The Muslim wants to marry a Christian, the Jew wants to marry an atheist. No, no, no! say the fanatics of religion. Demagogues will not allow it.




If any kind of progress is to be made here, the church ought to be abolished. People still have the freedom to practise their faith in their homes. These child-abusers should not be given the authority to abuse children with impunity. Take this authority away from individuals. The Vatican has excused every sort of savage and abhorrent act against children, it is the same as always; vile figures dressed-up in authority are free to commit crime sprees on the weak and vulnerable. It would be of little surprise if countries around the world furtively decided to legalise child-abuse for special privileges only.
