FREEING THE WORDS THAT HAVE BEEN KIDNAPPED: "multiculturalism"

"Diversity !"
"A value to cherish", we are told.
And all cultures have equal dignity and deserve the same respect, we are told.
Well, anthropophagism, ritual or otherwise, is anyway to be rejected. For now at least. So we are told.

The discussion of such a topic becomes very easily  a political-ideological argumentation, and we risk to get lost in the fog of the propaganda.
Is there a  reasonable way to discuss "multiculturalism" without falling into the pit of propaganda ?
Let's see.
Have all cultures equal dignity ? Just because they do exist ?
The proponents of multiculturalism would have a hard time supporting such a thesis: the joke above, about anthropophagism (or anthropophagy), sounds perhaps a bit racist, but we can update the argument with better examples: is the apartheid culture of the whites in the old South Africa OK,  just because it exists ? what about the nazi Germany "culture" ? the "culture" of the islamists hitting the four corners of the world with their bombs ? what about the burning of the widows with their dead husbands ? clitorectomy ? exclusion of women from school and from professional careers ? tribal conflicts ? what about the "culture" of the Inquisition ? We could go on questioning for quite a while...the short history of the human kind is long in crimes, horrors, tragedies, and only ignorance allows someone to make a myth of any historical institution or...culture.

Should we then be absolutely skeptical and declare that all cultures share the same...indignity ?
Obviously not.

Which dignity do the cultures share ? What makes them "equal" in a POSITIVE sense ?
Now, the answer to this question is not an answer that many supporters of "multiculturalism" will like, because in the nightmare that the humans have chosen to make of their history there is only ONE element that stands apart, safe and afar from the human follies, and that is the universal Sacred Tradition, the Sacred Knowledge that the human beings have received in Jerusalem as well as in Siberia, in Africa as well as in Australia, in Asia and in Europe. The Chukchis in Siberia and the Dogon in Africa may very well even ignore each other but they do not ignore the Sacred Vision; the Christian Mystics may sometimes very well ignore  Hebrew, but they speak of the same Sacred Way of the Torah; the Australian Aboriginals may know nothing of the Lakotas, but they follow similar Doctrines; the practitioners of VajraYana may think their dances are unique, but they dance in and to the Wonder  and to heal the world like the Iyalorixas in Brazil... the Call and the Vision have spoken, and speak, to the hearts and to the minds of all the human beings. Yes, they certainly do not all listen, and many have certainly tried to pervert parts of the Sacred Tradition for their low goals. Some demented fools have even invented "gods" who "speak" through terrorism, shrapnel, and planes slammed into skyscrapers...But that, again, is only history, and it doesn't affect the main point we are making here.

Is the universal Sacred Tradition  that we have evoked here the "equality" of the cultures that the supporters of "multiculturalism" defend ? Hardly...
On the contrary, the supporters of "multiculturalism" are often engaged in bashing the Western Tradition, ignoring the fact that in so doing they actually offend  ALL the cultures that they supposedly  "love" so much, because the Principles of the Sacred Knowledge are everywhere the same, since they are not any sort of excogitation that could be subject to individual, local, national (and much less, ideological) preferences !
Ultimately, to the despair of the West-bashers, there is only ONE culture, or if you prefer there is only the symphony of infinite music on one theme and the whole topic of multiculturalism, if seriously proposed, amounts to the study of the variations on the single theme of the Sacred Knowledge. Do we still need to respect each single variation, once we have checked that it is indeed part of the universal concert of Wisdom and that it is not the projection of some power-thirsty sick mind (yes, this is a reference to the same terrorists that we have mentioned above) ? Obviously, and certainly, yes. But as we have just seen, such respect must be paid always and without exceptions in the same way to the Western Tradition that has given us the Torah and Parmenides, the Odyssey and the Iliad, the Gospels and the Fathers of the Church, the Kabala and the abyss-deep works of Saint Anselm...and infinite other treasures of Knowledge and Vision, and the infinite beauty of thousands and thousands of years of works of the Sacred Art that stems from the Sacred Vision.

When all this is carefully and exhaustively considered, we can use the word "multiculturalism" as a synonym for the awareness of, and the thankfulness for, the Infinite Love of God Who has inspired Wisdom into the heart of all human beings everywhere and always, and thus "multiculturalism" could even be a reminder and an admonition to listen to that Wisdom.

Not by chance, the only countries in which the dialogue between the various shades and variations of the Sacred Tradition is not, however problematically, ongoing are the countries subject to the dictatorships of the communists and the countries where the ideology of islam is in power. This fact is precisely consistent with everything we have said: open nihilism and the nihilistic ideology of fate-and-imperialism have nothing to do with the Sacred Tradition and they both hate it because they know that it is their MAIN enemy.

We can be sure that the West-bashers will not be happy with this corrected reading of "multiculturalism"... and we are sure as well that they will do nothing to promote it in China or in Saudi Arabia and in Iran...

Babel, the maze, and the Temple.

The most important battle in the war waged by nihilism against the Sacred Tradition, a battle fought infinite times and for many centuries, has been the battle about the language: the goal of nihilism was to make of the language a desert in which the flower of Reason - the Gift of God to Free human beings -  cannot bloom: nihilism tried in this way to make us forget the depth of the Traditional Sacred Knowledge  and tried to substitute it with  the shallowness of  tasteless rationalism.
To these goals, nihilism has done everything in its power to tear apart the language from its roots, maim it, make it confused and fogged. The improper use of words is one part of this project, the improper construction of propositions is the other.
The improper use of words consists in introducing ambiguity where there is none by using words that are slightly inappropriate for the context and by slightly shifting the meaning of the words, making them less and less precise. This in turn prepares the terrain for the improper construction of propositions, which consists in presenting sentences that are actually self-contradictory  as valid (the contradiction being kept carefully hidden behind imprecise wording).

All this has not been done in a day: we didn't pass from the crystal clear language of Saint Anselm to the atrociously foggy language of Kant  in one year but in nearly eight hundred years, we didn't pass from the high language of the shamanic Parmenides or of the prophetic Genesis to the follies of post-modernism in a few hundred years, it took thousands of years. The success of the nihilist operation has been colossal quite because of its slow pace: the continuous pollution of language (that we can observe until this very day) has been and is nearly imperceptible, and when important voices raised serious doubts about the catastrophic direction taken by culture, the forces of the nihilistic subversion succeeded in interpreting ambiguously the alarms themselves (the major case here being that of Descartes, whose entire philosophical reflection - solidly rooted in Saint Augustine and Saint Anselm - has been re-interpreted in the light of the most extreme modern subjectivism). This is an example that tells us that the tricks and the mystifications that we are used to attribute to the openly totalitarian regimes of the Twentieth century (i.e., the century of mature nihilism) have old roots in the falsifications that have been set up for centuries and centuries.

If you read carefully all the articles published on this blog, you will notice that all of them can in a sense be classified as "corrigenda" about the mistakes in the current discussions about fundamental theological and philosophical themes, and in this same blog,  under the category of  "Freeing the words that have been kidnapped",  you can also read some attempts to directly fight back, in a "word-by-word" battle,  the corruption of the language...but it is evident that the polluted and poisonous language to which we are continuously exposed  overwhelms any attempt to fight this war through an infinite series of skirmishes about each single word.
Equally impossible is to attain a consistent language that avoids contradictions, because the concepts and the words have been subverted and need to be set in order before we can use them properly.
In other words: the fight against the nihilist tsunami that has invested the world cannot be fought by using a spoon to remove the flood.
We need to reach higher ground and move from there to roll back the nihilist regime.
How ?
The texts published in this blog can perhaps be a good example: these texts show that the true revolution of subverting the nihilist subversion consists in re-centering our thought   around the Most High, the Most Deep, the Most Important (such "re-centering" is the proper translation, although very free, of the METANOIA of the Gospel, the "change of mind" that is usually mistakenly translated by  "repent" or "convert" or by other flat ideological words that are not dangerous for the nihilist regime).
God Who Is Infinite Love, Infinite Wisdom and the Eternal (i.e., free from space and time) Creator of every "when" and "where" must be at the center of our reflection exactly in the same way as in fact God is ALREADY  the center of every"thing" that exists.

Such re-centering subverts the subversion. It puts in our hands the Ariadne's thread that can lead us out of the nihilist trap by showing us that all the nihilistic "answers" derive from wrong "questions" (or, more often, from the omission of questioning altogether, omission which is derived from the corruption of the language that became corruption of thought), and by allowing us to ask the right questions: how can anyone cultivate the blind faith that nihilism requires ? how could it be possible for the sheer nothing "to produce" anything ? how could the absolute not-being cause the being and any being ? how stupid and fanatic  must one be to believe the irrational and self-contradictory pseudo-truths of nihilism ? Such true questions can shatter in a single movement the whole dam of ignorance, prejudice, and ideology built around our mind by the nihilistic regime and they can open our mind to the Mystery of all reality.
Suddenly, the silent walk of a single ant will tell us more than centuries of deafening buzz of  nihilist propaganda because re-centering our mind around God will allow us to look at the world and finally SEE it, see the Wonder of the Creation as such, see the Glory of the Infinite Love of God.

Entering in the habit of this fundamental attitude depends certainly on many factors, but the individuals on this Quest  will  - with equal certainty  -  be helped by the Light that shines at the very Heart of every reality, as soon as they will knock at the Door.

This Temple in the heart is not subject to the vagaries of history and to the oppression of the nihilist regime. It is safe and sound and immensely powerful.

And such a re-centering is not a form of  entrenching oneself in a foggy and sick "interiority", it is rather the best weapon that can be conceived for the cultural war. The Truth is immensely simple: God is the Center of all "reality" and we can focus all the force of our intelligence and of our Reason on this infinitely deep simple Truth. This will allow us to escape the maze built by the nihilists to obscure the language (and our reason with it.)

Re-centering our mind around God Who Is the Infinite Being, Infinite Love and Infinite Wisdom will further allow us to reject and refute the secondary lies that derive from nihilism, the lies that come in couples of false oppositions: the lies of science that tries to intrude into the fields of philosophy and theology AND their complementary lies of falsely "religious" fanaticism that tries to present an idea of "God" devoid of Love (and ends up being equally murderous as scientism). The modern nihilist subculture that has generated the society of abortion and euthanasia AND has generated the murderers of September Eleven cannot stand one split second in front of the Sacred Knowledge.

Subverting the fundamental subversion by re-centering our mind around God, we can start speaking meaningfully, instead of babbling the boring reiteration of the nihilist propaganda.
And our actions will change when they will be oriented by the Light of the Truth: this world is in immense need of Love, God needs us to build the shining city on the hill, and we can be builders  if all our actions show the Love that we know in our heart and mind. Re-centering our mind around God is the laying of the cornerstone that will found the whole Sacred Temple and it is the keystone that will structure, support, and crown the arches of it, it's the alpha and the omega of thought. And of the language.

Back in possession of the language, we can build because the language founded on the Love of God has the power to dispel the darkness, the hate, the horror, and the despair that ultimately every form of nihilism is. The language founded on the Love of God has the power to allow us to adore, respect, and protect Life, while knowing at the same time that we are in the Sacred Life and bound to the Sacred Home of Truth Eternal. The language founded on the Love of God has the power to make us strong with the knowledge that we are ALREADY safe in God's Hands, in God's Peace. Forever safe.

Freedom

"Maris stella, illumina nos nosque itinerantes dirige."

            (“Star of the Sea, shine upon us and guide us on our way!”)

 

Why do I publish so many posts about the Truth, the Tradition, and the Sacred Way and very few, if any, about Freedom - political freedom ?
Because Truth and the Tradition are the way to free ourselves from ideologies, and from the root of all ideologies.
The root of all ideologies is despair (in its pseudo-philosophical mask: nihilism).
Despair originates from the confusion of the levels and planes of the discourse. What "confusion" ? Taking the level of finitude (and its corresponding moral side, where the possibility of a "gravitational" fall is represented by the possibility of evil ) as the fundamental level and as the level of ultimate truth. Such confusion blinds our hearts to hope and joy.
The Truth instead teaches us to consider carefully the hierarchy of the being, anchoring us to the level of the Infinite Love of God as the Heart of all "reality".

From despair originates the confused action, be it practical or theoretical, that looks for "solutions" in the wrong direction (action based on "ideologies" as  systems of opinions and projects based on ignorance of the Truth).
From the Tradition stem the inspiration for Love and Compassion - that is Wisdom - and the ability and the will to see the subtle levels of reality in which the Presence of the Wonder of Creation can be felt. The action of the person who is on the Way will always be inspired by Joy and that person will be capable of receiving  the Help that flows to us all the time (and to which we are deaf and closed when we are trapped  inside the paranoia of fear).

If we allow ourselves to be prey of ideologies, what we do will always hurt Freedom because we will believe that ultimately evil has a real POWER and such "belief" is not as innocent as  common sense would suggest: it is instead a "black magic" that will evoke evil, directly (with the force of the belief itself) and indirectly (with what we will excogitate to "stop" the alleged power of evil).
You can see that the idea that evil has no real power clashes against the "common sense" spread by nihilism: something in us (the brainwashed ego) tends to say : "Of course evil has power !" and we will begin reciting a long litany of examples of horrors from history: this is exactly the confusion of levels of discourse I was mentioning a few lines above: instead of acting in the Light of the eternal (i.e.: free form space and time) flow of the Divine Grace, we will be inspired by fear.
Despite the horrors of evil, we must not believe that evil has power, we must KNOW that  God is Infinite Love and that the power of God is Infinite and acting in all times and everywhere and that every "victim" is forever saved and that every evildoer is forever lost (here, now, where the evildoer has already lost his humanity and, with it, his ability to pursue the Truth).
The power of God is Infinite and acting in all times and everywhere, although it will not act so that  human Freedom will be limited, nor will it act in a manner that the fool can see what is happening  (if the fool could see the Miracle, human Freedom would of course be hurt, because the fool would have no Free Will).
It is not uncommon to see Freedom "defended" by people  who lack any knowledge of the Truth, of the Way, of the Tradition: the pitch of their words is high, they preach storms and foresee catastrophes. They have just changed the sign before the SAME contents of evil: they don't see the Infinite Joy of the Infinite Love of God and they don't see that Love is Almighty and Eternal.

The first step to defend Freedom is defending the serenity of the Truth.
It might well be that the darkness of the will of evil covers the whole Earth, but the truth will shine in the darkness untouched and, ultimately, always winning.
To the spiritually blind it is impossible to see that Myriads of Angels dance on each blade of grass and to hear that the forests play Mozart and to know that the Truth is untouched by evil and eternal.
To the person on the Way, evil will feel like a ghost, dispelled by the Eternal Morning of the Creation.

The dark ages, consistently called "age of Enlightenment" by the satanic forces at work in the world ("consistently": because those satanic forces subvert everything, hence their language is upside down), didn't begin with the monstrous pseudo-philosophical works of Kant, they started with the pseudo-literary works of the Marquis De Sade, where the triumphs of evil are saluted as inevitable, final, and - most importantly - absolute. The French revolution then frees the Marquis from La Bastille.
Today, more modest orcs free less-literary but much bloodier monsters from Gitmo.
The idea is the same: evil must appear triumphing.

The age of Freedom begins when a laughter from the Deep and from High derides both the works of evil and the self-proclaimed new pseudo-lord of the Creation, the psychotic ego.
This is not only a philosophical "must": it is a real necessity.

We can start talking about Freedom beginning from this point. Because only from this point on will we surely be completely free from any kind of ideological prejudice and our discourse will be moved by love and compassion only.

If the forces that lead our world will keep ignoring these basic points, no force in the world and no other discourse can save Freedom in the present times.

Vox clamantis in deserto, of course...

...but now I can say that  this is "Freedom", "part 1"  of...many !

Freeing the words that have been kidnapped: "RELIGIOUS"

Five American religious organizations invited German Chancellor  Adolf Hitler to a dinner during his upcoming visit to the United States. The event, which will take place on September 25 on the sidelines of the opening of the United Nations General Assembly, will be sponsored by the Mennonite Central Committee, the Quakers, the World Council of Churches, Religions for Peace, and the American Friends Service Committee. It is being called "an international dialogue between religious leaders and political figures" and it will discuss "the role of religions in tackling global challenges and building peaceful societies."

The Jewish, Christian, Zoroastrian, Baha’i victims of the religious prosecutions in Iran have not been invited, since their tombs could not be located.

I wouldn't insult the intelligence of the Reader with any further comment.

Freeing the words that have been kidnapped: "PEACE"

In the rant about the “Olympic” Games that I recently published, I have mentioned a word venerated by the Tradition: Peace.
Shalom, Shanti.
I will not need to write an historical essay to prove that the word “peace” has been loaded with enough ideology and lies  to make of it the main example of how the Tradition has been betrayed and forgotten.
From the subversives who talk of “peace” when they really mean “end of the Free World and of the free market economy” to the demons (hitler, the iranian president) howling about their “peaceful” intentions and to the international organizations (Society of the Nations, U.N., etc.) with their ideologies of progress but realpolitik of appeasement toward any demon, we have seen and heard enough to make us very skeptical about this sacred word.
But it is a word we sorely need. We must find a way to understand it again, without falling into the nihilistic-ideological trap of pseudo-concepts and pseudo-oppositions like “inner peace” vs. “world peace” and other similar vacuities.

Peace is the result of anchoring our lives in the dimension of the Truth, it derives from the Knowledge of the Sacred Truth, it mothers a new individual, able to live in the Light of the Love of God (let the ambiguity of the genitive stay).

In other words, Peace - like everything else that is worth knowing (and worth walking the Way to arrive to know) - is and can only be the result of  true enlightenment. No, the supporters of XVIII century’s ideologies need not apply, I have said “true”: I mean Revelation, Satori, Vision, Grace, Bodhi…( or whatever other traditional name of the true enlightenment you might know).

Peacefully the Revelation comes (it is said, “when the disciple is ready the Master will show himself”) and it is said that the Enlightened will look peacefully at all the different Roads leading to the top of the Mountain of Truth and will recognize that they are all good (that is, the worldly diatribes have vanished).

Recognizing God as the True Nature of every“thing”, the Enlightened, it is said, will at first cry immense tears for all who are lost in their delusions, then he will laugh roaringly at the same delusions  and will know true Peace.

Before the present age of nihilistic despair and before the transformation of “art” in a sub-cult of the nothing dedicated to the veneration of ugliness, art of all times has found in Peace the deepest inspiration for wonderful masterworks: think about the whirlwind of the ecstasy of Saint Teresa of Avila in the famous statue by Giovanni Lorenzo Bernini…the Russian icons, the Buddha of Kamakura…the list would be very, very long…

From the height and the depth of this Peace, peace can rain down and flow unto the world, and the pan-hellenic truce of the Olympic Games was just that: the whole of Greece bowing its head and celebrating a colossal Thanksgiving with the joy of the games.

All that is surely something very different from the arrogant whitewashing of the sacred blood of Freedom that had been shed in Tiananmen square, and very different from the cold distraction of a world ready to play in China the game of hypocrisy (and ready to fake a collective amnesia, the same amnesia of Moscow 1980 and of Berlin 1936 - yes, the concentration camps were already open for devil’s business, they were.)

Today the world doesn’t want to know about true Peace, doesn’t want to listen to the Tradition.

And as usual, when the Truth is betrayed, ideologies bloom : everybody speaks about “peace” but while Shalom (Peace, Shanti)  teaches to the individual to anchor his/her life in the dimension of the Infinite Truth, nihilism instead has done everything possible to disconnect the individual from his/her root in the Truth and has created a new common sense whose dogma is that everything had its “origin” in the nothing. And if the sheer nothing is the “origin” of Life and of the Universe, everything has lost any meaning and there is no Truth.
In this fog of ideologies, the ignorant nihilists apply directly and immediately TO THE WORLD  the metaphysical Truth that is implied in the doctrine of Peace: the Vision of the Good becomes the lie that “everybody” is good. The result can only be catastrophic.
Consistently with such nihilistic ignorance, the miserable puppets posing as “statesmen” on the political scene ALWAYS confuse “peace” with appeasement: if true Peace is the deepest and the highest level of Sacred Knowledge, ignorance of it reveals these individuals as utterly weak and unable of moral distinctions. And from this stems the great success of all the demons in the last one hundred years: the lenins , the stalins, the polpots, the hitlers and the mussolinis and now the osamas and ahmadinejads, they have all been helped and facilitated by a “culture” that has lost its nerve and slumbers in the blind faith that the nothing is the essence of everything.
Never the blathering about “peace” has been as common as it is today, and never could the monsters and the demons massacre masses of human beings as immense as today.

Moreover, any political position rooted in serious moral principles is immediately labeled as “warmongering” by the masters of the nihilist matrix that orients (actually…disorients) the public opinion, and the appeasers look for “dialogue” with the demons, that is: with the true warmongers… who can of course see through this attitude, can detect  weakness, and proceed to kill more…

True Peace has to be learned in the long voyage from ignorance to Knowledge, the teachers of nihilism instead deem to have nothing to learn. And they end up with learning  to decline in the plural  the word  “Holocaust”…

Freeing the words that have been kidnapped: "ORIGIN"-"ORIGINS"

Yes, “origin”/ “origins” is another word in distress, entangled in the spires of the cult of the nothing. What can we do about it ? As usual, we can try to think, isn’t Reason God’s Gift to free humans ?

Let’s see what the Merriam-Webster’s says about the word “origin”:

origin
noun
Etymology: Middle English origine, probably from Middle French, from Latin origin-, origo, from oriri to rise, more at  “ORIENT”

therefore we look at “orient” and we find:

orient
noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Middle French, from Latin orient -, oriens, from present participle of oriri to rise; akin to Sanskrit **oti he moves, arises, Greek ornynai to rouse, oros mountain

Beautiful, as etymology usually is. The origin as the true orient.
Now, instead, let’s see if our public school education allows us to find common uses of “origin” (and “common” here means “complying with the orders of the cult of the nothing”): yes, examples come immediately to our minds, don’t they ? “(On) The origin of the species”…(the Big Bang theory of) The origins of the universe…
Lots of ORIGINS.
Then let’s take the time to search the Net for these “origins” and we will be bathing in the light of science and knowledge, and we will feel good.
Will we indeed ?
Well, yes, the common sense (see above for “common” ) Citizen will answer: I will feel good because I will be contemplating in my mind the morning of the Universe, I will feel the immense dawn of everything and I will rejoice for living in such an enlightened age, that allows me to know all this.
True, true, what a wonderful age !
And the high priests of this enlightened golden age (yes, the scientists !) will surely rejoice even more in publishing more papers and more books and in holding sophisticated lectures about the origins…
Except that…all this is a hoax. (M-W’s again: 1 : an act intended to trick or dupe : IMPOSTURE,  2 : something accepted or established by fraud or fabrication).
A hoax. Because science can speak of what exists, and it cannot, by definition, speak about the origin(s) of the real.

But science has found the way (and that is called “brainwashing propaganda”) to make us forget all this and has elected itself to be the high priest of the “supreme truth”.
Let’s see a very simple example of the pseudo-concepts that science likes to present as “truths” about the “origin” of the universe: (Wikipedia, at the “Big Bang” article):

“How closely we can extrapolate towards the singularity is debated—certainly not earlier than the Planck epoch. The early hot, dense phase is itself referred to as "the Big Bang", and is considered the "birth" of our universe [Sherab: emphasis added] Based on measurements of the expansion using Type Ia supernovae, measurements of temperature fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background…”

This kind of scientific talk fills the mouth of pseudo-intellectuals who don’t realize that sentences such as “the birth of the universe” - with or without quotation marks around “birth” - are devoid of any real meaningful philosophical content because, in the best scenario, they merely describe a fact, ignoring everything and anything that made possible that fact.
What made possible that fact, any fact ?

The “possibility” is not an abstract philosophical word with which we can choose to play or not, the possibility is the root of the reality, it is the source of the reality, is what makes reality real: the POSSIBILITY of the universe is the ORIGIN of the universe,  the POSSIBILITY is the present tense of the Creation, the “possibility” is the infinite miracle that supports the existing beings, the umbilical cord without which existence is impossible. The “possibility” is God as the Heart of reality: certainly God transcends the dimension of space, time, and “things”, but the Infinite Being Who Is is the only root and origin of “reality” at any given time (i.e., at EVERY given time: now, the next split second and the next…!).

Science is unable to talk about the possibility of Life and about the possibility of the existence of the Universe and hence is unable to talk about the possibility of ANYTHING pertaining to Life and to the existence of the Universe. And being unable to talk about the possibility, science is unable to talk about the origin of the Universe and the origin of the forms of Life in the Universe.

Science knows nothing about the “origin” of the beings, because it knows nothing (and declares that it doesn’t want to know anything) about the Being.

But despite all this, science, in the age of mature nihilism, is at the same time proud of saying that it doesn’t investigate the cause and the possibility (of the alleged “origins” of the universe that science itself states) AND that it knows the “origin” of (this and that).
For too long we have allowed science to speak like that, as if it knew something decisive and fundamental AND for too long we have allowed science to contradict itself, AND we have not laughed at its intellectual destitution.

Today, we must say that it would be much more safe, and sane, for the scientists to engage in truly meaningful tasks, such as finding a cure for the common cold, rather than stepping with brute ignorance into the rose garden of the Sacred Knowledge.

The pretense of science to talk about ultimate Truths is just a devolution, a catastrophe, a fall.

The language used by science must be brought back to being strictly scientific and we should defend knowledge against the invasion continually attempted by scientism.

Science has no worst defender than the ignorant who doesn’t know that science, despite the very great advantages that it is capable of bringing to our daily lives, has a very limited scope.

The use of the word “origin” by science is just one of many examples of how the propaganda of nihilism (the religion of the nothing) transforms every word into a tool and a weapon to brainwash people, without even caring  about the contradictions that this process entails.

Don’t allow them to brainwash you.
Don’t follow the cultists of the nothing.
The Origin of the Universe (and of the “species” and of every “thing”) is in its possibility and its possibility can only be in the Being Who Is, not in the existing beings of the finite world, and only the Infinite Being Who Is has the Infinite Power and the Infinite Love to make the Universe and Life possible.
And in all times and everywhere, Wisdom has taught to human beings to under-stand the Infinite Love of God.
Then came the destroyers and their love for the shadow. And their blathering about "origins"...

Freeing the words that have been kidnapped: "retaliation"

The subversion of language is an exceedingly important element of the nihilist strategy: the preemptive brainwashing that can be produced  by polluting the words - creating chaos in their meanings - is impossible to compare, in its depth and reach, to any other weapon used by the nihilists in their cultural war against Truth. Subversion by definition (Latin “subvertere” : to turn “vertere”, from beneath “sub ”, teaches us the Merriam-Webster ad vocem) , setting upside-down the meaning of the words is the main weapon of the cultists of the great “almighty” nothing.
 
The examples of the subversion of language are everywhere but we must turn to the great “masters” of the cult of the nothing to see some outstanding examples of language driven crazy.
We find an extreme example of subversion of a word in a column  published on the Net by one of the great “masters” of the far left,  supposed to be (if we want to listen to the leftist propaganda) a lucid intellectual. This column by Noam Chomsky can be found at this address: 
http://www.chomsky.info/articles/20080226.htm
In it he happily carries on all the usual far-left blathering about the “fact” that “the political class in Washington and London” represents only itself and that the claims of the Free World to be fighting for Freedom are just lies, while the TRUE “world” is instead well represented by the polls conducted all over the four continents  that  would show a deep, diffused hate for America.
(Any idea of how these polls are organized in Countries where there is not the faintest trace of free speech is not discussed by the author, who anyway seems to have been voting with his feet since many decades ago and has never decided to move out and away from the dictatorial cage of “Washington and London”. He never moved to live in those “four continents” where the right to hate America is the only “civil right”…but this is not a point worth discussing of course, because we all know how childish the leftists are in their hypocritical  whining…) 
The important point is instead that all the leftist generic blathering in this column mutates into specific chaos-work when Chomsky interestingly states (evidently to present an enlightening example of how we should think and read the TRUE reality of the world) that the hijacking of the ship Achille Lauro by palestinian terrorists, had been a “retaliation” for the bombing (by the Israeli Air Force) of the HQ of the palestinian terrorists…
In the published column’s text: “The Achille Lauro hijacking was a retaliation for the bombing of Tunis  ordered  a week earlier by Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres.” [Editor’s note: of course no bombing of the city of Tunis had been “ordered”, what had been ordered was the bombing of the HQs of a terrorist organization in Tunis, and for everything we know, Tunis is still there and has not faced any “Hiroshima” destiny…but you never know, maybe “Washington and London” have rebuilt a plastic Tunis and are telling us another lie… ]
As the reader certainly remembers, and Chomsky mentions, during the hijacking of the Achille Lauro Leon Klinghoffer, the handicapped Jewish-American civilian confined to a wheel-chair (“crippled American” in the language of Chomsky, suddenly oblivious of political correctness but still able of acknowledging that this had been a brutal murder), had been murdered and thrown into the Mediterranean Sea by the terrorists.

Chomsky is clever enough to use the word “retaliation” for the hijacking and not directly for the murder, but his court of law tactics evidently cannot hide the fact that the murder of Klinghoffer falls inevitably under the large shadow of the word “retaliation” that he uses for the hijacking.

Now, we have to look at this word, “retaliation”.
It’s of common usage on newspapers and on TV news, isn’t it  ?
Yes, in fact this is how they brainwash us.

Let’s see.
The Israeli Air Force attacks the HQs of terrorists in Tunis (by the way, funny how the bosses of international terrorism tend to settle down FAR from where the action of their pawns and puppets is).
It can be certainly said that the IAF attacks were “in retaliation” of the terrorists’ attacks in Israel, isn’t it ?
Strangely enough, Chomsky says instead the “retaliation” was the further act of terrorism, by the same organization whose HQs had been bombed in Tunis.
Let’s see: someone knocks down the door of your home and attacks you. You answer and punch him.
Do you think that - if at this point the crook punches you again - any judge would find his behavior rational, let’s say…a “retaliation” caused by your defending yourself and your home ?
Of course not.
But here the case is slightly darker. Here the crook, that you have sent running away from your home, goes to someone else’s home. Maybe someone who has your same last name. Let’s say someone confined to a wheel chair. In the course of this attack, the crook kills this person and throws him into the sea.
And that, in Chomsky’s words, is a retaliation for you defending your home.

Funny way to use words, isn’t it ?
And don’t forget, this guy is a great intellectual, who has been teaching in a great university. This is even funnier, isn’t it ?

Evidently there is a rat here, somewhere.
We all know which rat. The crooks, oops, the “intellectuals” like Chomsky think that Israel has no right to defend herself, HENCE the terrorists have any right to “retaliate” against Israel... defending herself.
For the chomskys of this world it doesn’t matter that the formation of the State of Israel had been ratified by the United Nations, it doesn’t matter that, in spite of international law, all the Arab neighbors of Israel have attacked Israel in 1948, in 1956, in 1967 and in 1973 with the DECLARED goal of destroying Israel and throwing all the Jews of Israel into the sea and that they have been defeated by Israel four times but never punished by the international community for committing the crime of an illegal war. (Evidently, this is the behavior of that “international community” that Chomsky praises at the beginning of the column.) It doesn’t matter even that, after FOUR genocidal wars have failed, the Arab neighbors of Israel have supported, financed and organized powerful terroristic organizations to carry on THOUSANDS of bloody attacks inside Israel, killing thousands of Israeli civilians in the last four decades.
All this doesn’t matter for the chomskys of this world.
For him, a terrorist attack is a “retaliation”.

You know, he wants to put in your mind that, in the best case, the whole problem is the famous “cycle of violence”.
You know, the old “cycle of violence”: a gang of crooks attacks your home, you defend yourself, they burn down the house of your relatives.
A cycle of violence.
Just that. Not a crime. Not a repeated crime, no, no. Just a “cycle of violence”.
And the crooks have the right of “retaliating”.
If you had not defended your home, if you had done the crooks the favor of letting them  kill you, rape your Wife and children and throw them into the sea, everything would have been OK.
If Israel had not committed the "crime" of resisting FOUR genocidal wars and THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS of acts of terrorism, everything would be peace and happiness in the Middle East.

Eternal peace.

The same peace and happiness of the killing fields of Cambodia.

(Why do I mention Cambodia ? Well, I don’t know, maybe someone could investigate and find what Mr. Chomsky said decades ago about the regime of the Khmer Rouges that killed some MILLIONS of Cambodians, probably in the name of some other “retaliation”, that time against… capitalism or something like that. It could be interesting to find what he said then.)


So, now we have the ‘explanation” for the strange use of the word “retaliation”: in Chomsky’s world Israel has no right to exist, much less to defend herself, “hence” the terrorists have the right to punish Israel.
Incidentally, in the process, “crippled American” civilians get murdered.

In this way a whole heap of prejudice and false information is loaded into your mind through a single word.

Then, the hordes of leftists in the society will take care of expanding the concept and they will start saying that “one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom-fighter”. Then the pawns of propaganda, in this case a Michael Moore, will say that the terrorists killing American Soldiers in Iraq are “today’s Minutemen”.
Then ALL your televisions, newspapers and ALL the news agencies that feed them will start calling the terrorists “militants”.

And, by the way, the column by Chomsky that I am discussing is a paean in death of Mughniye, the bloody terrorist who tortured to death the CIA chief of station in Beirut. And while the column says of this thug that his crimes “have never been proven” (and we don’t even want to imagine which kinds of “tribunals” Chomsky would accept or require to “prove” anything), it says that the Israeli and American anti-terrorism forces are guilty of infinite crimes (notoriously free and unprejudiced Arab and European media are quoted to prove these “facts”).
But this part of the propaganda has not yet been able to become mainstream, the subversive forces aren’t strong enough for that. Not yet.
But this doesn’t matter, because the main goal of the brainwashers like Chomsky is to pollute any debate - and therefore everybody’s mind - with distorted concepts, distorted words.

The crimes committed by bloody terrorists against innocent civilians become a “retaliation” for the crime committed by the Free World by defending itself.
This language takes away from everyone the same POSSIBILITY to think and to decide with a clear mind, by introducing chaos in the language.
And subversion of the language is just the before-the-victory version of what the subversives plan for the day after their triumph: re-education camps. Subversion of language is the re-education camp prêt-a-porter, the long shadow that announces the darkness…

We could, should, and WILL make an effort to start a dictionary of the words that nihilism and subversion have attacked.
