Where Did The Real Writers Go?

Tags

Simplicius takes a break from the geopolitical and explores seemingly bygone literary art.

Many writers developed cultic appeal because they not only lived the lives they wrote about, they seemed to exude a mystic aura in the most direct and overt sense: that is, they engaged in occult practices, spoke of mystical experiences—Philip K. Dick’s infamous ‘V.A.L.I.S.’ incident comes to mind; Burroughs’ life was wrought with possessions and ‘visitations’. That’s not to say this necessarily makes them great writers, or even better ones than today’s stock; it’s just an observation on their image and parasocial relationship with the public, and how that served to create a sometimes grandiose representation of their work, which, illusory or not, made it seem to impart more truth, more grist of enlightenment about our puzzling, isolated experience.

But all of this so far has been from the frame of the authors themselves. The more nuanced and tangled perspective comes from that of the audience, the receptor rather than the transmitter in this two-way dynamic. The modern audience has changed just as assuredly as the author. There are myriad ways and reasons for that, primary among them the internet and spread of social media. These have changed not only the parasocial dynamic between the two, but more importantly, have given audiences a previously unknown capacity to plumb an author’s intimate depths, wash and launder every loose knickknack of their character for the public consciousness, secularizing their romanticized ‘auras’ and clinically cataloging their fey intangibles.

More than that, the audience’s tastes and consumption appetites have fundamentally changed. In the age of the quick-fix and low impulse control, grunting audiences nose through the literary truffle garden for the next novelty, eschewing the difficult or committed. The relationship between author and reader has always been a sort of channeling seance: it takes two for the creative spark to alchemize into revelation, or transcendence. If the audience is not attuned or even developed enough to be receptive to the connection—the shades of meaning and subtext—then the power will not transmit properly over frayed wiring.

The best authors sketch the secret patterns of the world, reorienting the reader through the privileged passageways and penumbras of the unseen and untouched semiotic realm. An uninterested or distracted reader—or one benumbed to the world’s artesian currents by the diffusive excesses of modernity—will not be receptive to the engagement. The vast amount of information we process in the average day today nearly alone precludes the existence of a ‘great writer’, as his shadow in the ‘great audience’ has dissipated with the times. Dilution and overstimulation leave a gray mesh of attention spans squandering the fertilization process necessary for fermenting ‘Exceptional Material’. That’s a long winded manner of saying: attention spans, over-dilution of choices, coupled with this internet-mediated demystification of authorial personas has left the audience disinterested, disengaged, and more apt to seek novelty in the form of trend-hopping or variety for its own sake.

The other contributing factor is the general direction the industry itself has taken. The total overhaul of the literary and book publishing industries from the ground up has transformed them into a fair caricature of the Longhoused DEI subversion-machine stereotype applicable to the managerial and ‘professional’ classes over the last few years. Those who haven’t followed would likely pale at the sheer depth of the industry’s total disembowelment and ideological revampment.

Read the whole thing. In fact, just read. The characters and the stories are still out there. And when one comes across a good or great reader, be she a Hawari or he a Graham or even a Lovett (hey!), then, by all means, buy, support, and spread the word!

I think it’s safe to congratulate President Putin on his landslide reelection this weekend. When last I checked, he was pulling 87+% of the vote. In the new Donbas Oblasts, he pulled around 95%. Congratulations to the Russian people too.

In the “free and democratic” West, “democracy” means voting for one candidate and seeing another “elected”. In Russia, it means the will of the people. So as the GAE collapses the rest of this decade, great things lie ahead for Russia.

And thank God the 2024 election is now behind us. No more presidential jibber jabber until 2030, k, ‘Murica?

THE STONE HOUSE Again

I’m still in love with Dr. Hawari’s book. And yesterday, my previous review went international.

At KATEHON.

And at Geopolitika, in English and Spanish.

I truly hope more than a few folks will read the book, which to my knowledge, is only available in English.

A Review of THE STONE HOUSE by Dr. Yara Hawari

It is a book about oppression, injustice, misery, and death. It’s also perhaps equally a book about wonder, hope, joy, and life. These qualities mysteriously combine, forging a story that seizes the reader and compels his anxious, enthralled attention until the final words of the Epilogue. Children loving, fearing, and being mischievous, studying, playing, picking tobacco, and play-acting their favorite John Wayne movies—to me, this conjures a mental picture of rural Virginia in a bygone era of American history. That all of this happened some 9,500 kilometers away from the Upper James River testifies we all may have more in common than most would know or admit.

The Return of the Stasi

Neighbors, coworkers, and even families members will once again start spying on and reporting those who think and speak outside the accepted narrative. With East Germany a thing of the past, I suppose this must be happening in authoritarian Russia. No? The USSA, you say?!

The Washington state legislature has passed a bill to create a statewide snitching infrastructure for residents to report their neighbors for “wrongspeak.”
Senate Bill 5427, which passed both the Senate and the House and now awaits

Gov. Jay Inslee’s signature, allows private individuals, including non-citizens and illegal aliens, to reports “bias incidents” to the state attorney general’s office. Each reporting incident comes with a potential reward payout of $2,000.

The bill’s supporters say its purpose is to protect “victims of hate crimes” before said crimes even occur, but at what cost? In essence, SB 5427 creates a tattletale hotline designed to intimidate people in Washington from speaking their minds, especially when such speech might be politically incorrect.

This law, like all those lately enacted to protect the occupiers of Palestine and their cosmopolitan cousins in the GAE, is patently illegal. However, there’s a pattern in this descent into tyranny. Sooner or later, these wicked laws will begin to stick. America had a good run, but it’s over. Americans can blame themselves, their tolerance, their laziness, and their stupidity as the ride becomes truly rough at the end.

COLUMN: Declaring Financial Economic Currency Sovereignty

Declaring Financial Economic Currency Sovereignty

 

Last month, the Honorable Dr. Cynthia McKinney, Larry Johnson, Professor Alexander Dugin, the Honorable Maria Zakharova, and a whole bunch of brilliant, kind people gathered at Moscow State University for the 2024 conference of MIR, the International Russophiles Movement. In the middle of an incredible panel discussion, Dr. McKinney raised an issue of extraordinary importance. Please watch or listen to the whole show HERE

McKinney’s comments kick in around 2:14:17, replicated here by way of my interpretation of YouTube’s attendant transcript:

…the one thing though that I don’t think has been mentioned, and maybe our final speaker will mention it, is the difference between colonialism and neocolonialism, and the idea of sovereignty also meaning sovereignty. Financial sovereignty, but of those who print the currency, and that’s one area that I haven’t heard spoken of today. That is the international banking class; those people are private bankers and they are the ones that print the US dollar and they own most of the central banks around the world. So if we are going to make sure that multipolarity is our multipolarity we also have to declare financial economic currency sovereignty.

During the above-linked session, I think the closest answer to McKinney, or rather, a matching concern, came a few minutes earlier from Mr. Ali Al-Qadi (SP?), a historian from Tunisia. Among several other items, he mentioned Emmanuel Todd’s excellent new book, La Défaite de l’Occident (2024). He was getting at matters within chapter ten, “La Bande De Washington,” around page 295, et seq., pertaining to the rise of “zombie” Protestantism in the West, a rise that coincided with the rise of Enlightenment democracy and financial capitalism. The gentleman then, around 2:03:45, said, “Union from above cannot be based on the same tools created by the materialistic world which condemns the theft of a loaf of bread by the poor but not usury.” Usury may be thought of as the fuel of financial capitalism. Old Cato and the Church thought of it as murder.

Mr. Al-Qadi and Dr. McKinney are both correct in their concerns and statements, especially those in the last part of McKinney’s address. If someone later or elsewhere answered McKinney directly, I’m unaware of it. So, I’m going to take a crack, particularly as to the global banksters. But first, briefly, neocolonialism is and is not just “new” colonialism, a revitalization or continuation of the old Powers domination witnessed from the Fifteenth Century through the Twentieth. It also delves deeply into the global world disorder of the Greater West, a wicked and total combination of state and private exploitation writ large, a united empire of lies spanning most of the globe. And the banking clans Dr. McKinney mentioned are at the heart of that combination. 

She obviously knows what she’s talking about, as well as anyone from the West does. However, for those not up to speed, here is a quick primer on the creation of the fake money the Greater West uses(d) to subjugate the world. The private, illegal Federal Reserve Bank does print those paper dollars Americans use in ordinary transactions. But altogether, they amount to a miniscule part of the total money supply. More and more people fret over the potential rise of Central Bank Digital Currency, or CBDC, when something far worse has already happened: Commercial Bank Digital Sorcery (CBDS). The US is so far down the rabbit hole that the vast majority of “money” in the US economy (and in other Western economies) consists of fake, debt-based credit money substitutes, of loan-based illusions that simply do not exist. There is statistically zero real money in the US economy. A malicious hoax inside a lie behind a charade. 

Ten years ago, the Bank of England kindly released a short white paper explaining exactly how fake money is created in the postmodern Western economy, an explanation ratified by the Federal Reserve: 

In the modern economy, most money takes the form of bank deposits. But how those bank deposits are created is often misunderstood: the principal way is through commercial banks making loans. Whenever a bank makes a loan, it simultaneously creates a matching deposit in the borrower’s bank account, thereby creating new money. (Emphasis, BOE’s.)

Where do the banks get the money for the deposits and loans? The money for the loans is created by the loans. Out of nothing except monetary necromancy. This fake money does not exist in reality even though it accounts for a hyper majority of the money used in the economy. This is super usury, a system where the fake money itself essentially amounts to infinite interest. The private bankers merely press a button or wave a magic wand, and *POOF!* money appears. The usury victim must dedicate all or a portion of his life, robbing Peter to pay Judas, to pay off that which, again, does not exist. This is pure evil. It’s also intentional and it has the intended purpose of driving all ownership of all value, including the productivity of so many human lives, into the hands and pockets of a tiny elite cabal. It is designed to become untenable, which it always does in the end, destroying a nation’s economy in the process and, frequently, the nation.  It is the mass systemization of the prohibited usury practices condemned by God the Father and Jesus Christ. 

Many varied voices from many professional backgrounds have warned about the society-destroying results of this evil. See Debt by the late David Graeber (anthropologist), La Défaite… by Todd (historian), literally anything written by Michael Hudson and Steve Keen (economists), and Why The West Can’t Win by Dr. Fadi Lama (engineer). 

Dr. Lama sets forth broad brush solutions in chapter ten of his book, “The End of Empire.” 

The financial monetary construct should be based on real value such as a basket of commodities and real goods, enabling money to have an intrinsic value as it had for millennia prior to Bretton Woods II. Already significant work is being undertaken in this area with joint efforts encompassing the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), the BRICS and the SCO. See Lama, Why the West Can’t Win, Atlanta: Clarity Press, 2023, p. 350.

Further:

Commercial banks and insurance companies should be government owned to ensure the highest rates of national development and avoid the exploitation of society by a parasitic minority. This was a key element in the development path adopted by China, which allowed it to eradicate poverty and achieve phenomenal across-the-board development. Id

Throughout Western history, these minority parasites have forged odd public-private partnerships with assorted states. Seneca called in fraudulent loans, Rome got into a war, and the Iceni lost their lives and sovereignty. A leading cause for the downfall of the Venetian Republic was its private central bank. The London Company(s), as operated in Virginia and New England during the Seventeenth Century, acted in much the same way as Black Rock or the IMF do today. The public part of the deal has to do with “lawful” chartering and any subsequent manipulations of the law necessary for the benefit of the private parties. It also involves shifting any costs, risks, or losses away from the parasites to the public. This is why the only immunity associated with the fraudulent COVID mRNA shots regards protecting pharmaceutical companies from liability. This is why one of the idiotic US COVID stimulus bills, a $2 trillion boondoggle, saw 75% of its proceeds go to the cabal while American taxpayers were put on the hook for 100% of the spending. Any and all profits and benefits of this kind of partnership always only flow towards the elite private parties. 

The solution to this pressing problem is found, as Lama suggests, in the sovereign, multipolar, BRICS+ world. China’s monetary system is not exactly like Russia’s. Whether one weighs somewhat heavily on money as a public utility to be turned on and off as needed, while the other largely involves hard commodities backing the currency, they both work. And while both involve a kind of public-private relationship, both also involve government ownership or control at both ends of that spectrum. All banks in Russia are heavily regulated, by law and by the Bank of Russia (BOR). Many of the largest commercial banks are at least partly owned by the government. The BOR, unlike the Federal Reserve or the Bank of England, genuinely answers to the government. This reflects a policy of state banking control that dates back to the Russian Empire.

The banks of China and Russia facilitate a loop of economic control and benefit for both the people and the people’s government, one looking to the best interests of the other and looking ahead for the common good of individual concerns and those of larger society. Parasites starve under these systems as they ought. Both systems are now linked together providing an alternative to the US’s (Petro)dollar and SWIFT. This linkage is outside the control of Western powers and institutions. Other powerful economies are also linked to one degree or another. Developing economies are now joining or will join in order to further their development interests while also removing the chains imposed by the West. The BRICS+ share of the world economy now exceeds that of the West. A connected basket of honest currencies now competes with and outperforms the fake, dying Petrodollar. This new system has quickly become globally competitive; the Petrodollar share of international transaction settlements has fallen from 90+% a few years ago to 40% or less now. This fall in Kazan, a fully refined and named alternative economic and monetary system will or should be officially unveiled. The free world is happily waiting. 

The unfree Western world is still voting, hoping, and wishing. Do not expect the system to suddenly undo or police itself. Rather, out of spite it will ratchet down on its captive victims harder than ever. Neither Donald Trump nor Joe Biden will or can save Americans from this inevitable calamity. Thankfully, one day—hopefully, one day soon—this satanic system of perpetual abuse will collapse. When it does, Americans and other Westerners need to be ready to rebuild their nations or descended rump states. That reordering will and must include things like currency sovereignty. When the time comes, the fake debts must be canceled, real money restored, and perhaps the usurers dealt with appropriately.

Monetary sovereignty: thank God the gentlelady mentioned it.

Deo vindice.

Leveling Them All

,

The Israeli Genocide Force (IGF) has combined the queer suggestions of both Lispy Graham (R-hell) and Andy Ogles (guess what!)(R-hell). They’re now literally leveling, crushing the people. Even as its degraded, beware the picture (which is real) in this story.

Palestinian territory- The Israeli army’s repeated killings of Palestinian civilians by deliberately running them over alive with military vehicles was vehemently denounced by Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor on Sunday, as was the widespread destruction of civilian property. These crimes are part of Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, the rights group said, ongoing since 7 October 2023.

Euro-Med Monitor documented the Israeli army’s killing of a Palestinian man who was deliberately run over in Gaza City’s Al-Zaytoun neighbourhood on 29 February after he was arrested. The man was subjected to harsh interrogation by members of the Israeli army, who bound his hands with plastic zip-tie handcuffs before running him over with a military vehicle from the bottom to the top of his body.

Come to think of it, this is what the GAE army did to some of their victims in Waco so many years ago. And the world just sits by…
