Christmas is a Middle Eastern holiday that God's cursed people adopted from the Indo-European festival of Yule.

God's cursed people lack all healthy creative ability and can only rearrange what others are able to construct, with a tendency towards advocating meaningless ideas, promoting despair, encouraging neurosis, popularizing anti-natural behavior, replacing reality with fiction, and making clever arguments that twist logic and inspire mental paralysis in anyone who takes them seriously.

They are by instinct destroyers and their insane religions spiritually poisons Indo-Europeans, turning the creators of civilization into people who are passive, materialistic, confused, and ignoble "individuals" separated from their tradition. Even secularists tend to adopt the values of Judeo-Christianity despite disbelieving in the super-natural foundation on which those values are based, the best example being humanists who invert the natural order of society just as was done in the Sermon on the Mount, giving praise to the least capable and promising reward for inaction.

We must reject what is not ours and what is foreign to our spirit. The madness of Christmas commercialism does not belong to us. Neither does it make sense to worship an invisible imaginary jewish god in the sky. Nor can we live by the values of Abraham or Saul/Paul, who may well know the soul of the desert slave and natural sinner, but not of the brave and daring Faustian spirit.

Consequently we must reject the madness of modernity and rediscover what is ours.

Prayer for Slumbering Souls

Your spirit calls to you and wants you to discover who you are. From life you came, but from life you have been separated and become lost. So much irrelevance stands in your way, burdens your time, clouds your vision, distorts your thinking, and prevents you from having what you need.

Tear down the confining cycle that consumes your life. Call into question the comforts that distance you from what you need and remove them from your mind. Reflect on your hopes and take action to bring them into reality. If past methods have brought failure, change your methods to begin anew.

Reality is but a mirror of that which is. Destroy illusions and pleasant lies that have erected themselves on good feelings. Deception casts as mask upon you and sets you to drift apart from the world. Look at what is really there, no matter how ugly or undesirable, so that you have true knowledge of all situations.

Avoid panic and compulsions to react, for you gain nothing by giving reckless affirmation to things that don't matter. Slaves are compelled to obey orders, but a life of contemplative action does not give credence to every outside whim, plea, or restless agitation.

Be wise in directing your efforts, but also brave. That no one has come before, or no one stands today, means that certain tasks are reserved precisely for you. Listen to the voice in your blood and do what nature calls you to achieve.

Born December 16, 1770, Beethoven is considered by many to be the greatest artist who has ever lived. In addition to amazing natural talent, he had the great fortune to live in the 19th century as civilization was coming to an end through the adoption of new attitudes and values. While the seeds of social dissolution that would sprout 50 or 100 years later were being firmly planted, at the same time the traditions that gave birth to civilization were still known. This perspective on tradition contrasted with decline provided the ability to summarize and capture the history of the noble creating spirit.

Just as the late Greeks produced a flurry of great works and then almost immediately perished, so too was the clustering of Beethoven, Goethe, Schopenhauer, and Nietzsche part of the final but definitive record that there once stood a brilliant, capable, and creative civilization that became spiritually poisoned and rotten inside, assuring their ultimate regression into cultureless barbarism.

Beethoven's mature work is defined by what Spengler correctly identifies as the Faustian spirit: a complete feeling of freedom from boundaries and limits, and a belief in infinite space and possibility.

To understand Beethoven, you must first understand how music stands as an art form, rather than the entertainment product it has been reduced to today. A composer uses a particular form, such as the classical form, as his canvas, upon which notes and their relationship become the substance through which he communicates. A writer chooses words for his considered ideas, but a composer expresses his ideas abstractly through tones. It must also be said that the audiences of the classical era were educated in the art of music, knowing which key modulations to expect at different intervals of the performance - a night at the symphony was an artistic pursuit, not something bored people did for amusement.

Despite the abstract communication of music that can be thought of as its own language, the initiated understand it quite well with no textual description provided. The fate motif used in Beethoven's fifth symphony, the cycle of life (struggle, contemplation, action, despair, triumph) in the ninth, or the heroic and noble steadfastness of the seventh are unmistakable to those who know how to understand the ideas expressed within the music.

The same spirit lives on in those of us who are aware of the world and reject "progress" and "enlightenment" because both are ignorant and destructive. Instead we prefer intelligent, sane, healthy ideas, and take note when a great man has stood before us and left us with works that will speak for eternity.

"He was an artist, but also a man, a man in every sense, in the highest sense. Because he shut himself off from the world, they called him hostile; and callous, because he shunned feelings... Excess of feeling avoids feelings. He fled the world because he did not find, in the whole compass of his loving nature, a weapon with which to resist it. He withdrew from his fellow men after he had given them everything and had received nothing in return. He remained alone because he found no second self. But until his death he preserved a human heart for all men, a father's heart for his own people, the whole world."
-- Austrian dramatist Hans Grillpartzer speaking at Beethoven's funeral

"After 40 years, I'm part of a huge community of scientists who have become alarmed with our discovery, that we know from our knowledge of the ancient past, that if we continue our present growth path, we are facing extinction," Barrett said. "Not in millions of years, or even millennia, but by the end of this century."

[Human extinction within 100 years]

Progress is great! Let's keep progressing with insane anti-naturalism and social recklessness as we deny that the pursuit of utopia, defined as the arbitrary leftist trends and values of the day, is destroying human life in every way. By chasing illusions and ignoring reality, the self-designated benefactors of mankind are killing us all, and all potential for the future. Thanks morons! You play in feel-good politics while planting the seeds that destroy life, placing us all in peril so you can feel like a "good" and important person. Overpopulation and overconsumption are already out of control, but you people are worried about nonsense like gay marriage. You morons are dooming us to extinction from your ignorance and and pursuit of irrelevant causes over things that matter.

"We as a nation are living beyond our means. The federal government is in debt. Most state and local governments are in debt (their form of deficit spending is to issue bonds). Most assuredly the American consumer is dangerously in debt. And, finally, the American dollar is losing its purchasing power steadily and daily. Remember, debt is the promise of future income to pay for today's consumption. Nobody is guaranteed a future, much less future income."

Authority is not responsible for what it arbitrarily chooses to do, and all "civil rights" are only acknowledged for the hopeless classes, since Judeo-Christian pity teaches the dysgenic idea that the inferior are the most important.

See I AM THE BEAST SIX SIX SIX OF THE LORD OF HOSTS v. MICHIGAN STATE POLICE.

"I'm no liberal either. I recognize that injustice, murder, war, ethnic hatred and genocide are not just permanent fixtures of our world, but are necessary methods for evolving better human beings. Trying to get rid of these things in order to create a Utopia is an insane practice that will lead us further into illusion and make the name of that Utopia the banner under which we kill, much as occurred during the Crusades. Incoherent minds would have you believe that if we cease certain behaviors, the world will be perfect and everyone will be equal, but to anyone who has spent time in a forest, "perfection" is a misplaced goal as it is the unbalances and inequalities of life that drive the natural system toward greater heights of evolution and efficiency. There is no end, and it is flexible in any situation, thus more perfect than any Utopian order."

Most of your toolish coworkers, neighbors, people you meet on the street, etc. are capable of two modes of conversation: entertainment and personal situation. They'll discuss endlessly the "important" movies and television they see, not noticing that these repeat themselves on a three-year cycle, and they'll talk about the weather or their hemorrhoids or other "important" issues of personal comfort. They cannot talk about ideas. Therefore, reserve ideas as the grounds on which the few smart people meet.

"I spent a year travelling in west Africa, where I discovered that my liberal beliefs in racial and cultural equivalence were wrong. I also spent two years in Paris studying history and economics, and gradually came to the conclusion that the basic tenets of liberalism that government can improve our lives, that environment is much more important than genetics, that all groups have the same potential, that men and women have similar natures are wrong."
[Political Taboo]

A: I hate the current leader and wish for anyone other than him to lead.
B: That seems like a reckless lunge towards an ill-defined solution.
A: Call it what you will, but change is necessary.
B: It is true that all things change in time, but deliberate change should be thoughtful and considered.
A: The situation has gone too far and reform is not possible, thus only replacement will satisfy me.
B: Be careful not to replace one broken part with another. What ideology are you asserting?
A: My ideology is change and progress.
B: Ah, then you seek to move towards the future, yes?
A: Absolutely. And I am not the only one who desires the future!
B: The future comes regardless of what a person or herd wants, so you will surely get what you desire.
A: I should mention that we also want freedom and rights in addition to change, progress, and the future.
B: Yes, and I assume you would also like to make society better rather than worse.
A: Precisely so!
B: You clearly have a heart and good intentions, but have no mind for political thinking and would do well to get out of the way of people who promote rational ideas instead of empty rhetoric.

In a study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, it says the average weight of Americans increased by 4.5 kilograms through the 1990s.

That forced airlines to burn 1.3 billion more litres of fuel in 2000 to carry the extra weight, at a cost of $275 million US.

That extra fuel also created environmental problems in the form of 3.8 million extra tonnes of carbon dioxide.

Bush's environmental policy is terrible; so is Kerry's. Both give lip service to the environment, sign some legislation saving another strand of trees for the next 99 years, and continue to allow rampant overpopulation, pollution and overuse of resources including animals.
...
That way of life is what this election was destined to maintain regardless of who won. We all go to jobs for too long and come home to many tasks. Money is our only goal, and our way of penalizing those who go out of line. We have no connection to nature and think that a few more billion-dollar studies, government programs and television campaigns will actually "change" environmental, social, racial and economic problems.

In other words, we just don't get it.

Most of us still believe that our civilization is the product of all civilizations before it, and through some ultra-simplification of Darwin, therefore "the best." We view life before technology as ignorant, pathetic, disgusting, oppressive. We see technology and morality as the forces lifting us out of a primal scum of human failure toward a distant Utopia. And if we just check the right boxes on the vote cards, we'll get closer!

That is a television-watcher outlook. There on the sofa, it comes down to one single choice. Click the correct button, you're a hero - you get a puppy biscuit. Click the wrong one, and no one says anything but everyone hints that you're a bit Neanderthal. But it all comes down to clicking the right buttons, moving us closer to Utopia.

This election meant nothing because people were being elected to roles in the system. The system itself wasn't up for criticism. The system isn't something simple like "conservativism," but something complex, like the idea that human must rule over nature with technology and thus, lacking any external checks and balances, expand recklessly. And in the process, lose its courage and spirit internally, and begin rewarding mediocrity instead of excellence.

We're breeding ourselves into a race of button-pushing clones. We have depleted our fish supplies, our natural wood, our wild animals, and pour pollution into earth, air and sea at record rates. Our population is now such that in another generation we'll have to cannibalize what's left to survive. And of course, when that becomes obvious, our remaining energy will be devoted to internal warfare.

The election is a fantasy show for button-clickers; the real issue at hand is that your species is failing and it has constructed a political, social, moral and economic system to perform elaborate denial of that fact. You want to make a difference? Clear the system-logic from your head and stop worrying about the puppet show of this election.

Americans got the president they deserve, and most fittingly, one that really represents them. He's a little dumb and simple minded, but makes up for it with a combination of ignorance, arrogance, and self-assurance. He may not understand how the world works, or what goes on in civilized nations, but knows how to reduce complex problems to only a question of whether you stand with him or against him. He doesn't care for the big picture because it disorients his biases, and he has no use for facts that get in the way of his opinions and baseless convictions.

He is brave enough to go alone when the whole world points out what horrible mistakes he is making and how he defies reason and logic. He is willing to use novel economic theories to cut taxes and expand government services despite a national debt of over $7,000,000,000,000. Somewhere Osama bin Laden is laughing about the U.S. doing his work by bankrupting itself.

God is on the side of George W. Bush, and most other imaginary beings also support him. God will likely ask him to serve the Chosen Race by murdering more Arabs with an invasion of Iran and Syria (but not North Korea or Israel who actually have weapons of mass destruction and crazy leaders). While the rest of the world is repulsed by his barbarism and inconsistency, America's president boldly takes action to do the work of his puppeteers.

Despite depriving some Texas village of its idiot, President Bush helps provide a clear path for the nation's future with his appropriately representative leadership.
