the truth will set u free, and other absurd lies

another september is here, which means another anniversary of 9/11 is almost upon us, and this one will be a big one: the 25th, which seems to me as good a time as any to one more time to try to proclaim the truth re. what happened that day, and who was responsible, and why it went down. but actually i'm not going to waste much time with that, since it's already been done ad nauseum by others including myself with previous entries in this blog (just do a search of 9/11 and 9-11 in the search box in the upper left hand corner). i'll simply repeat once again that there can be no more obvious smoking gun that it was an 'inside job' (a false flag) than the controlled demolition of tower #7 on that day, which fell straight down at freefall speed as only happens when such buildings are brought down in a controlled manner by carefully placed and timed explosive devices, which could not have been done by those who were blamed for the attack. of course, that's a handful of truth to accept that one will almost certainly choke on unless one has already been initiated into the awful and wickedly deceitful ways of the powerful in the world in which we live, unless one has previously been forced out of one's comfort zone by life events which compelled one to begin to question absolutely everything one was taught to believe by various authority figures in one's life, figures such as religious clerics, prominent politicians, school teachers and parents, and so on. i probably wouldn't have come to 9/11 truth myself had i not initially made a deep and prolonged dive into the rabbit hole of the JFK assassination, did much independent reading on it and came to the astonishing conclusion that it too was an inside job, a coup d'etat engineered by the CIA  in order to get rid of a president who had come to the conclusion that the cold war was insane and wanted to end it, which would have been a death blow to the military industrial complex which came to supreme power in the USA in the wake of WW2, and which could never have been pulled off if the CIA hadn't already effectively gained stranglehold control over the mass media, as had other 'intelligence' agencies in other 'western' nations allied with the USA, effectively rendering them assurance that their publics would be inundated and saturated with the establishment's lies long before the truth could ever come out, and that the (sur)real perps could rest assured that most of the public would never catch on to the truth, since they have been lied to for millennia about things like religion and have shown over all that time to be more than willing and able to swallow it's absurd lies. 

the vast majority simply lack the ability to effectively 'question authority' and see through it's enormous bald faced bs. a good example of this is christianity, which is based upon the utterly absurd claims of 'divine revelation' in the 'holy bible' that human beings are 'sinners' who deserve to die and then to face divine judgement and the prospect of spending eternity in a 'lake of fire' for their 'sins' unless they accept that the bible is true and that christ died for their sins and they must accept him as their 'lord' (master) and savior. all of this is predicated on the notion of a god who demands that innocent blood be shed before divine forgiveness can be bestowed upon us hapless 'sinners', an ancient notion whose absurdity is demolished very well in this video:

i became aware that our world is ruled with the help of massive deceit and delusion over 30 years ago when traumatic events in my own life sent me on the course of questioning everything and painstakingly over time coming to this conclusion. now it just drives me nuts to witness my fellow americans who are still being completely deceived, whether they be MAGA republicans or 'moderate' liberals and democrats who support american militarism and imperialism and the racist apartheid genocidal state of israel, trust corporate media to honestly report upon and analyze world events, and continue to adhere to and support dogmatic puritanical religions like christianity which should have long ago been debunked. for the saddest truth of our world is that human beings are exceptionally prone and vulnerable to indoctrination by authority figures, be they secular or religious, in government or mass media, parents or schoolteachers. thus, for the small if not very tiny minority of us who manage to escape from our indoctrination, truth doesn't set us free, but only serves to torment us with the (sur)realization that our world and most of the sheeple we know is/are completely full of shit, and there's nothing we can do about it. as the sage late comic george carlin observed, bullshit is the glue that binds society together.

stranger in a strange land

i'd love to live in a world that wasn't foreign and hostile. the strangest thing about it is that i seem to be the only human who is bothered by or even notices that we're living in a world of severe sexual repression, inhibition, and mandatory shame. hence the name of this essay, taken from the book title whose plot involves an actual alien, a martian, who comes to earth and doesn't fit in with humanity for this reason.

although no one reads what i write here i still don't feel totally free to speak my mind, as there's nothing to be gained and much to be potentially lost in doing so. even though i don't feel free, what freedom i now possess could easily be rescinded by my oppressive society should it become known that i'm a sexual anarchist who longs to live in a society in which there are no laws or attitudes inhibiting sexual expression.

perhaps such a desire flies in the face of a natural world in which it appears most species sexual behavior is dominated by male competition for access to females and extreme possessiveness on the part of those few lucky males that effectively possess harems of females to mate with. of course in order to obtain and maintain such privilege, these dominant males must be constantly vigilant and willing and able to fight other males who seek to displace them. as far as i know, there is only one species, close relatives to us, bonobo chimps, in which this is not the case, nor do they have to contend with governmental mandates. they're true free lovers, utterly uninhibited and promiscuous, which seems to not only work well for them but also facilitates a society of peaceful cooperation and sharing of food.

that's another thing that bothers me about this world that doesn't seem to bother anyone else (except for many vegans) in the slightest: the fact that in order to eat, other organisms must be killed or harvested, beings possessing sentience just like us which don't wish to be killed and eaten. this sad state of affairs can only be blamed upon god, should god exist. seems to me that an omnipotent benevolent creator would not have created a world such as this.

getting back to my original premise, to adopt the mortal words of the late george carlin, 'nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care' that humans live with mandatory sexual repression and shame with 'laws' prohibiting prostitution and consensual sex acts or merely free discussion between so-called 'adults' and 'children'. instead, laws and common attitudes to the effect that such behavior is or would be abominable prevail, much to the approval of my fellow humans, but much to my own chagrin, such that i can hardly identify as one of my own kind. much like michael valentine smith, i feel as though i'm a stranger living in a strange land.

p.s. i just did a search and discovered that i wrote an essay very similar to this 3 years ago:

Christianity Taught You to Distrust Your Own Body

in this video britt hartley captures the essence of why christianity is toxic. it ought to be part of every child's education (and every brainwashed christian adult's deprogramming).

below is an excerpt from an inspired article recently published by caitlin johnstone:

As things get more and more dystopian, simply holding fast to your humanity becomes an act of rebellion.

an angel incarnate!?

love dolly parton's drive, focus, self-esteem/belief, talent, shersonability and success, and especially her compassionate heart. been watching a PBS profile of her again (part of their august fund-raising specials) which makes manifest all these virtuous qualities of Her's in spades.

Coat of Many Colors

been a huge fan of dolly parton after reading her first memoir and seeing her video of her cover of john lennon's IMAGINE many years ago. this favorite song of hers below always gets me emotional, it's lyrical story of a daughter's pride in her mother's love for her overcoming any sense of inferiority associated with growing up poor in class-conscious america.

lost opportunities and shattered dreams

 Oh, I've got something inside me

Not what my life's about
'Cause I've been letting my outside tide me
Over 'til my time runs out

this lyric from the beautiful and profound harry chapin song TAXI has meaning to me. my life's about surfing on the surface, being superficial and sometimes deceitful in my relationships and public face, as i conceal what i believe to be the most important thoughts and feelings from others (the public), which may be succinctly summed up as perceiving my world as dystopian and doomed. i've been doing this pretty much my entire life (i'll be 25,000 days old soon) and it appears very likely i'll continue to do so until i die.

this lyric is sung with great passion and intensity in the middle of the song, and perhaps gets overlooked as it falls outside the lyrical narrative of the song, which is described quite well here:


and is itself a profoundly wistful take on life's lost opportunities and shattered dreams.
