[the mingo]

I got unfiltered perception. Years and years of it. And I like women playing violins.

[stilltrucking]

I got post conscious misconceptions
tons of them

deleted from GO

Sisyphus rolls
the earth rocks
Nietzsche said
freud Said
Money talks
Jesus walks

I don't want to die
I don't want to kill
the urge is there
always
one synapse away
homicide or suicde
I am just a crazy Jew
Don't want to be a Jew
Did not choose to be ah Jew
I would have rather been a more mellow fellow
like a Viking or a Spartan
This atheist Jew shit ain't for sissies I say
Just ask Crazy Mike if he can still answer
Chased from pillar to post around the world
The good Baron was going to make a home for us
here in the land of the brave and the scared witless

All my friends are not dead
or in jail

but some of my dearest friends are ex catholics
I walk the line
because its fine
between here and there
a thin line
where ever I may go
somethings going to know
I can't fall off the edge of my mind

the earth is shaking like a frightened child
and men are marching to war
women just want to be free
and life is good
mostly
if you get born
to fortunate circumstances
we got to do this

from Chris Hitchens foreward to "Brave New World Revisited":

This annihilation of war and the subsequent obliteration of cultural and historical memory, is almost exactly what Orwell later relied upon to set the scene for his Nineteen Eighty-Four. But he was writing about the forbidding, part-alien experience of Nazism and Stalinism, whereas Huxley was locating disgust and menace in the very things -- the new toys of materialism, from cars to contraceptives -- that were becoming everyday pursuits. Perhaps that is why his book still operates on our subconscious.

I don't think that's all Orwell was writing about.

Huxley wrote, circa 1949--

Huxley, circa 1949 (again, into his “eugenics” thinking): The United States is not at present an over-populated country. If, however, the population continues to increase at the present rate (which is higher than that of India's increase, though happily a good deal lower than the rate now current in Mexico or Guatemala), the problem of numbers in relation to available resources might well become troublesome by the beginning of the twenty-first century. For the moment over-population is not a direct threat to the personal freedom of Americans. It remains, however, an indirect threat, a menace at one remove. If over-population should drive the underdeveloped countries into totalitarianism, and if these new dictatorships should ally themselves with Russia, then the military position of the United States would become less secure and the preparations for defense and retaliation would have to be intensified. But liberty as we all know, cannot flourish in a country that is permanently on a war-footing, or even a near-war footing. Permanent crisis justifies permanent control of everybody and everything by the agencies of the central government. And permanent crisis is what we have to expect in a world in which over-population is producing a state of things, in which dictatorship under Communist auspices becomes almost inevitable.”

Hitchens goes on--

Huxley became a friend of Dr. Timothy Leary, a man of great charm and wit (as I can testify from experience) and a truant Harvard scientist whose advocacy of LSD trips made him an emblem of the "Sixties." It was this comradeship that attracted the attention of the Beatles and Jim Morrison. But again one must pause and notice a contradiction. Leary believed that the use of mind-altering drugs was essentially subversive, and would help individuals both to evade and erode "the system." The authorities appear to have agreed with him on this, pursuing and imprisoning him (at one point in a cell adjacent to Charles Manson) and making it highly illegal to follow his advice, not just concerning LSD but also cocaine and marijuana. What becomes, then, of Huxley's belief that such hallucinogens, analgesics, and stimulants are the ideal instrument of state control?

It's not like the state didn't look into this possibility-- some of the stuff that's come out in the last two decades about the CIA during the "Cold War."

Yes.

Speaking of Orwell, reminds me of this bit by Thich Nhat Hanh

In order to rally people, governments need enemies. They want us to be afraid, to hate, so we will rally behind them. And if they do not have a real enemy, they will invent one in order to mobilize us

Speaking of immigration:

I am first generation American born, the son of The wretched refuse of your teeming shore Hard for me to be objective about immigration.

Anti-Immigrant Hate Groups Place Ads in The New York Times

The ads were placed by an organization calling itself America’s Leadership Team for Long Range Population-Immigration-Resource Planning. “We’re the nation’s leading experts on population and immigration trends and growth,” boasts one of the ads.

Actually, America’s Leadership Team is a public relations front group for a coalition of five anti-immigration organizations, three of which—FAIR, American Immigration Control Foundation and the Social Contract Press—are listed as hate groups by the Southern Poverty Law Center for their links to white supremacists and publication of bigoted materials.

All five of the groups behind America’s Leadership Team—the other two are Californians for Population Stabilization and NumbersUSA—are financed by John Tanton the puppet master of the modern anti-immigration movement.

It’s not the first time that Tanton and other anti-immigration activists have tried to woo environmentalists in an attempt to gain political support for their cause. In 1996, Tanton lobbied the Sierra Club, the nation’s largest environmental organization, to adopt a plank advocating sharp restrictions on immigration. In 2004, an anti-immigration faction tried to take over the Sierra Club by winning election to its board of directors. Both efforts failed.
