Epstein och vår tids centrala politiska insikt

Epstein har gjort det tydligare än någonsin: dagens höger och dess borgerliga kapitalism är mer oförenlig med en de överordnade värdenas konservatism och en andlig traditionalism i allmänhet än den verkliga, historiska vänstern och socialismen.

Ordförande Haz förklarar:

“Unlimited warfare on the global Epstein regime.

Now you know why Lenin, Mao, Che Guevara fought with the intensity, fury and hatred they did.

This shadow regime doesn’t care what you think. It’s ruled by the parasites of humanity – Transatlantic, Jewish, European, Gulf Arab, ex-Soviet dynastic elites.

The real two parties are: the Party of Revolution and the Party of Mammon.

This division transcends cultures, ideologies, and fake ‘politics’.

The entire soul of humanity is at stake.

Cheap comforts, entertainment, and crumbs of luxury distract you from slow death and existential annihilation.

The truth is that you have nothing to lose, but an entire world to win.”

Och, i en i ljuset av Epstein litet vidareutvecklad analys:

“In secret, the ruling classes are fascist like Epstein. They believe in eugenics, racialism, and view the majority of humanity as subhuman.

If they had been open about their views, or platformed them in mainstream media or academia, they’d have been overthrown.

So instead, they astroturfed them as ‘edgy’ and ‘anti-establishment’ redpills on anonymous image boards. Making an entire generation adopt openly the secret antihuman ideology of the elites.

They simultaneously funded and bankrolled insane libtards to make leftism absurd and retarded to the majority, propping them up in mainstream institutions to foment the Rightist backlash.

The real red pill was Left-Wing all along.”

D.v.s. den verkliga konservativa revolutionen är nu den enda vägen.

Da Free John: The Bodily Sacrifice of Attention

Introductory Talks on Radical Understanding and the Life of Divine Ignorance

The Dawn Horse Press, 1981

Publisher’s Description:

The usual man or woman thinks that Enlightenment is the having of a vision. Enlightenment is the most subtle, or tacit, unspeakable understanding. It is the Bodhicitta, the ultimate Realization of Being, the ultimate Wisdom. On its basis, all kinds of radiant transformation may develop, but the Realization itself is so fundamental, so tacit, so simple, so direct, so obvious, so transcendental, that it is not identified with any phenomenon of experience or knowledge. The means of the transmission of this Realization is an awakened individual, the Spiritual Master, but the Realization is most tacit, perfect, simple, direct, and obvious. When you come to the point of acknowledging the Divine Identity and Condition of manifest existence, then you are Enlightened.

JOB’s Comment:

As I have pointed out before, the titles of Jones’s books are not always – indeed not even normally – easily comprehensible without at least some familiarity with his teachings.

Only Idiots Believe the War Propaganda about Iran

By Caitlin Johnstone

There is nothing you can say to me to convince me that US regime change interventionism in the middle east is a swell idea.

There is nothing you can say to convince me that the Trump administration is telling us the truth about Iran.

There is nothing you can say to convince me that the mass media are telling us the truth about Iran.

There is nothing you can say to convince me the people who just spent two years incinerating Gaza have kind-hearted intentions for the Iranian people.

There is nothing you can say to convince me that protecting Israel is a good and desirable thing that westerners should support.

There is nothing you can say to convince me that the empire-like globe-spanning power alliance that is loosely centralized around Washington should be in charge of our world.

There is nothing you can say to convince me that I should help the US and Israel manufacture consent for a regime change war by criticizing the Iranian government in the middle of a frenzied war propaganda campaign.

It is not okay to be a grown adult in the year 2026 and still believe US regime change interventionism in the middle east will lead to positive outcomes.

It is not okay to live in a post-Iraq invasion world and still not understand that we are being lied to about Iran.

It is not okay to have lived through what these monsters did to Libya and still believe forcibly toppling the Iranian government is a moral and just cause to get behind.

It is not okay to have just watched these freaks turn Gaza into a gravel parking lot pervaded by the smell of rotting corpses and believe they have noble intentions for the people of Iran.

I don’t care if you are making your pro-regime change arguments from a right wing anti-Islam perspective, from a liberal humanitarian pro-democracy perspective, from a left-wing “solidarity with our Persian comrades” perspective, or from an “oppose all tyranny equally” anarchist perspective. Your arguments are shit, and your position is wrong.

The agenda to oust the Iranian government is about dominating the planet in general and the middle east in particular. You might think it’s about something else, but you are wrong. It’s about power and control, and all your fanciful notions about freedom and democracy for the Iranian people will be instantly subordinated to those goals. If this isn’t obvious to you, you’re an idiot.

The goal is not to bring freedom and democracy to the Iranian people. The US and Israel do not permit democracy to thrive in the middle east unless they can control its outcomes, as they are working to do right now in Iraq. The US and Israel are not popular enough in the middle east for the people to be allowed to control their own government.

The goal is to either install a puppet regime in Tehran, or to balkanize the nation into multiple independent states which can be easily controlled, or to plunge the entire state into unmanageable chaos like they did in Libya. None of these plans advance the interests of the Iranian people.

If you support Trump’s regime change agendas in Iran, then you support inflicting this upon the Iranian people. That’s what you get under the best-case scenario. Under the worst-case scenario, you get a hot war between the US and Iran which unleashes horrors you cannot possibly imagine. It will make the Iraq invasion and all the fallout therefrom look like an episode of Spongebob.

There is nothing you can say to me to cause me to support this. Call me a traitor. Call me a dictator lover. Call me an antisemite. Tell me all you want to tell me about how mean and bad Iran’s leadership is. I won’t care. I will dismiss you, because you are my enemy.

Anyone who supports war with Iran is my enemy. Anyone who would want to inflict such horrors upon the human species is an enemy of humanity.

I promise I will not be moved on this. I like to keep an open mind, as the saying goes, but not so open my brain falls out.

Sachs om Iran

Den nödvändige, alltid lysande Jeffrey Sachs intervjuas av likaledes nödvändige George Galloway.

Om Iran, men inte enbart. På en dryg halvtimme hinner förbluffande många meningsfulla, med Irankrisen sammanhängande analytiska kommentarer göras om Trumpregimen i allmänhet, Europaförfallet, atlanticismens nu nästan totala kriminalitet, Gaza, Ukraina, FN, atomvärldskrig, t.o.m. Sverige, och historiska perspektiv ges på varje punkt.

“The Doomsday Clock is 85 seconds to midnight. Professor Jeffrey Sachs on the countdown to oblivion. Trump will attack Iran unless the rest of the world says no. Israel has always wanted this big one. Billionaires rule the White House.”

Missa f.ö. ingen av de intervjuer Max Blumenthal dag efter dag ger om Iransituationen.

Historia och vetenskap

Flera gånger har jag nämnt Svante Nordins bok Historia och vetenskap: En essä om marxismen, historicismen och humaniora från 1981 som (möjligen med undantag för hans doktorsavhandling) den enda – jag tror åtminstone att detta ännu gäller – i hans stora produktion där han, fortfarande verksam vid filosofiska institutionen i Lund, ännu inte den idé- och lärdomshistoriska, framträder uteslutande som filosof i egen rätt.

Redan detta har alltid gjort den särskilt intressant i mina ögon. Men det tycks mig som om den dessutom med åren bara blir mer väsentlig än vad jag redan uppfattade den som när jag med stor uppskattning första gången läste den under min tid i Uppsala, nyutkommen och i sällskap med och lyssnande till oavbruten, lärd politisk monolog från viktige, ännu ej disputerade historikern Trotte-Petter (Frihet, jämlikhet, egendom och Bentham: Utvecklingslinjer i svensk folkundervisning mellan feodalism och kapitalism, 1809-1860, 1992) inköpt på dåvarande jättelika, sedan länge mycket saknade boktemplet LundeQ i hörnet Drottninggatan/Östra Ågatan med tre eller var det rentav fyra våningar och rulltrappor, jämförbart med Blackwells i Oxford om man inte räknar in den relativt sena utvidgningen the Norrington Room en trappa ned.

Det ytterligare ökade intresset hänger för mig särskilt samman med den under det senaste årtiondet nödvändigt accelererade omprövningen av högern i ljuset av den samtidshistoriska och politiska utvecklingen (jämför mitt inlägg Svante Nordin som filosof från 2015). För det är inte så att det mått av marxism som Nordin fortfarande med kritisk urskillning omfattade gör boken mindre aktuell, utan precis tvärtom: den gör den idag mer relevant.

Men inte heller är det så att boken p.g.a. denna marxism – det är förvisso fråga om början av Nordins omprövning – saknar de viktiga, kulturkonservativa insikter och positioner som några år senare på 80-talet gjorde författaren känd som ledande kritiker av den länge rådande vänsterhegemonin inom humaniora, och som jag främst betonat i mina tidigare inlägg om den. För mycket av det filosofiskt väsentliga i detta, eller mycket av detta väsentliga som filosofiskt formulerat, är i själva verket, om än ibland endast i fröform, förhanden redan här, tillsammans med och i och genom diskussionen av marxismen och historicismen.

Denna kombination, och dess specifika art, gör, föreslår jag, att den 45 år gamla “essän” – i själva verket ett stort antal små essäetter uppdelade i fem större “avdelningar” – förtjänar att återvändas till och ånyo på flera punkter kommenteras som ett viktigt svenskt teoretiskt dokument från denna tid. Jag har länge velat försöka göra det från perspektivet av de ståndpunkter som anges av namnen på underavdelningarna till filosofikategorin i denna blogg.
