CASH FOR RAGE

  CASH FOR RAGE     “The nature of the universe is such that ends can never justify the means, on the contrary, the means always determine the end.”- Aldous Huxley   All across the globe television news stations flash images across the screen. Images of people taking to the streets to voice their supposed anger and frustration at a system that doesn’t “support” them, indoctrination at 60 frames a second.   Articles on websites talk of righteous and rebellious youth and how they will no longer stand idly by and allow their world to be dictated and destroyed by an out-dated system, ran by an out-dated generation (while still voting, upholding, and serving the old antiquated politicians and systems they claim they’re against). Yet, when did true revolution and spontaneous activism have corporate sponsorship and widespread backing from government officials that “supposedly” serve the very institutions that created the scenario they oppose?   Do you really belie...

DIVISION OF MIND

    DIVISION OF MIND   “In the past the man has been first; in the future the system must be first.”- Fredrick Winslow Taylor, The Principles of Scientific Management   Have you ever found yourself browsing through the want ads and see “Wanted: volunteers for scientific research….” and think “who would ever opt to be experimented on for money?” Meanwhile, you wake up at the same time everyday, march off to work, file in line and proceed to perform robot-like tasks to the point of automation, as if you're not the subject of an experiment that just so happens to be a little farther along in its study. Everyday, millions take part in social engineering experiments under the guise of free will and the desire for a paycheck. Guinea Pigs for the captains of industry.   “Only we’re not automatons. We have eyes to see with, ears to hear with, and mouths to talk.” - shop steward at GE- Bridgeport, Forces of Production   From 1922-1929 John D. Rockefeller donated 50 ...

MAZE OF TORMENT

  MAZE OF TORMENT     “If there is a devil in history, it is the power principle”- Mikail Bakunin- Russian anarchist/socialist, opponent of Marxism   Imagine, it’s graduation day. You’ve navigated the maze of pre-programmed lessons that is government schooling. You’ve opted out of 4-8 more years of indoctrination from state and “privately” funded universities, you want freedom. You want to step out on your own, put some money in your pocket, build a life you see fit, room to breathe, to make choices for yourself. You want to be free of outside manipulation, but like all great plans…..   “Give me a baby and I can make any kind of man”- John B. Watson- founder of Behaviorism    According to this worldview, the behavior of organisms, and therefore including human beings, is predictable and controllable. In 1920 at John Hopkins University, Watson did a series of experiments on babies ranging in age of 3 month to 1 year. Remarkably simple in practice, they ...

Magnitizdat

    The compact cassette was developed by recently deceased Lou Ottens (1926-2021) and introduced in 1963. Originally designed for dictation machines, improvements in fidelity led them to be ideal for audio recording and is largely what it’s remembered for today whether in prerecorded or blank format. While the cassette has had a resurgence among the “trendy” and the perceived “hip” for their collection of “kitsch”, the idea of the cassette as a cultural tool or weapon is rarely looked at.   Behind the Iron Curtain, the Soviet Union used Melodiya- the state controlled recording firm to release music. Defined by shortages of prerecorded music and by censorship, only “official” bands were recorded and all releases were vinyl. Very few western or “pre-approved” acts were issued as most were banned as “ideologically harmful”. The introduction of the music cassette to the Eastern Bloc lead to underground, angrier, younger groups not allowed to record in studios to covertly rel...

WE ARE THE EXPERIMENT

  WE ARE THE EXPERIMENT For those who had the wherewithal to keep their principles during the process of  Demoralization , and were well insulated from  Destabilization , the third act will seek to remove your humanity from the public eye. We welcome you to the process of  Dehumanization .   DEHUMANIZATION : the process of depriving a person or group of positive human qualities.   - it is one technique in incitement to genocide. It has also been used to justify war, judicial and extra-judicial killing, slavery, the confiscation of property, denial of suffrage and other rights, and to attack enemies or political opponents.   THE DREAD OF FOREIGN FORM   Understood as a reduction to abstraction,  dehumanization  is designed to portray opposition as something “ other ”, as something outside society, as separate from “ us ”, therefore something other than “ human ”. This can occur through language and artwork that likens individual humans or ...
