"Great men, even during their lifetime, are
usually known to the
public only through a fictitious personality." - Walter
Lippmann
My kind of loyalty is loyalty
to country, not to institutions or officeholders.
The country is the
real thing, the substantial thing, the eternal thing; it is the thing to
watch over, and care for, and be loyal to;
institutions are
extraneous, they are its mere
clothing, and clothing can wear out, become ragged, cease to be
comfortable, cease to protect the body
from winter,
disease, and
death.
Monarchies,
aristocracies, and religions
... there was never a country where the
majority of the people were
in their secret hearts loyal
to any of these institutions.
The
perfection of
wisdom, and the end of
philosophy is to
proportion wants to possessions,
ambitions to our capacities, we
will then be a happy and a
virtuous
people.
The political and
commercial morals of America are
not merely food for laughter,
they are an entire
banquet.
"She lives in a world of her own – a world
of – little glass ornaments."
Tennessee Williams, Glass
Menagerie
"It was not altogether a matter of the lavender
trousers, nor yet the straw hat with its bright silk band. The change was
somewhere, far in the interior of Henry. But there was no cakewalk hyperbole in
it. He was simply a quiet, well-bred gentleman of position, wealth, and other
necessary achievements out for an evening stroll, and he had
never washed a wagon in his life." - Stephen Crane Our
Negroes in America have several ways
of entertaining themselves which are not found among the whites anywhere.
Among these inventions of theirs is
one which is particularly popular with
them.
It is a competition in elegant deportment.
They hire a hall and bank the spectators' seats in
rising tiers along the two sides, leaving all the middle stretch of the floor
free. A cake is provided as a
prize for the winner in
the competition, and a bench of experts in deportment is appointed to award
it.
Sometimes there are as many as fifty
contestants, male and
female, and five hundred spectators.
One at a time the contestants enter, clothed regardless of expense in what each
considers the perfection of
style and taste, and walk down the vacant central
space and back again with critical eyes on them.
All that the competitor desire of fine airs and graces he throws into
his carriage, all desire of seductive expression he throws into his
countenance.
He may use all the helps he can devise:
watch-chain to twirl with his
fingers, cane to do graceful things with, snowy handkerchief to flourish and
get artful effects out of, shiny new stovepipe hat to assist in his courtly
bows; and the colored lady may have a fan to work up her effects with, and
smile over and blush behind, and she may add help, according to her
judgement.
When the
review by individual detail is over,
a grand review of all the contestants in procession follows, with all the airs
and graces and all the bowings and smirkings on exhibition at once, and this
enables the bench of experts to make the necessary comparisons and arrive at a
verdict.
The successful
competitor gets the prize
which I have before mentioned, and an abundance of applause and
envy along with it. The Negroes have a name for
this grave deportment-tournament; a name taken from the prize contended for.
They call it a cakewalk.
"In the US cotton states, after the
war the Jew set up shop on
the plantation, supplied all the Negroes'
wants on credit; at the end of the season was the proprietor of the
Negro's share of the
present crop and part of the next one.
The Jew is being legislated out
of Russia.
The reason is not concealed.
The movement was instituted because
the Christian peasant stood no chance against his commercial abilities.
The Jew was always ready to
lend on a crop.
When settlement day came,
the Jew owned the crop; the
next year he owned the farm.
In the England of John's time
everybody got into debt to the Jews.
He gathered
all lucrative enterprises into
his hands.
The
Jew was the King of Commerce. He had to be banished from the realm.
For like reasons, Spain had to banish the Jew 400
years ago, and Austria a couple of
centuries later.
In
all ages Christian Europe has been obliged to curtail his activities.
If he entered upon a trade, the Christian had to retire from it.
If he set up as a doctor,
he took the business.
If he exploited agriculture, the
other farmers had to get at
something else.
The law had to
step in to save the Christian from the poor-house.
Even bereft of
employments the Jews found ways to make
money.
This
history has a most sordid and practical commercial look.
Religious prejudices may account for
one part of it, but not for the other nine.
Protestants have persecuted Catholics - but
they did not take their livelihoods away from them.
Catholics have persecuted
Protestants - but they never closed
agriculture and the
handicrafts against them.
I am convinced that the
persecution of the Jews is not
in any large degree due to religious
prejudices.
No, the Jew is a
money-getter. He made it
the end and aim of his life.
The Jew was at it in Rome. He has
been at it ever since.
His
success has made the whole human race his enemy.
You will say that the Jew is
everywhere numerically feeble.
People told me that they had reasons to suspect
that for business reasons, many Jews did not report themselves as Jews.
I am strongly of the
opinion that we have an immense Jew population in America.
I am assured by
men competent to speak that the Jews are exceedingly active in politics." -
Mark Twain 1899 |

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational purposes only.
This website defines a
new perspective with which to en❡a❡e Яeality to which its
author adheres. The author feels that the faλsification of reaλity
outside personal experience has forged a populace unable to discern
pr☠paganda from Яeality and that this has been done purposefully by
an internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartel through their agents who
wish to foist a corrupt version of reaλity on the human race.
Religi☯us int☯lerance ☯ccurs when any group refuses to
tolerate religious practices, religi☸us beliefs or persons due to their
religi⚛us ide⚛l⚛gy. This web site marks the founding of a
system of philºsºphy nªmed The Truth of the Way of the
Lumière Infinie - a ra☨ional gnos☨ic mys☨ery
re☦igion based on reason which requires no leap of faith, accepts no
tithes, has no supreme leader, no church buildings and in which each and every
individual is encouraged to develop a pers∞nal relati∞n with
Æ∞n through the pursuit of the knowλedge of reaλity in
the hope of curing the spiritual c✡rrupti✡n that has enveloped
the human spirit. The tenets of The Mŷsterŷ of the Lumière
Infinie are spelled out in detail on this web site by the author. Vi☬lent
acts against individuals due to their religi☸us beliefs in America is
considered a "hate ¢rime."
This web site in no way
c☬nd☬nes vi☬lence. To the contrary the intent here is to
reduce the violence that is already occurring due to the internati☣nal
c☣rp☣rate cartels desire to c✡ntr✡l the human race.
The internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartel already controls the
w☸rld ec☸n☸mic system, c☸rp☸rate media
w☸rldwide, the global indus✈rial mili✈ary
en✈er✈ainmen✈ complex and is responsible for the collapse of
morals, the eg● w●rship and the destruction of gl☭bal
ec☭systems. Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation
with bi☣hazards of a gun.
American social mores and values have
declined precipitously over the last century as the corrupt international
cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to
deceive the p☠pulace in general through c✡rp✡rate media by
pressing emotional buttons which have been πreπrogrammed into the
πoπulation through prior c☢rp☢rate media
psych☢l☢gical ☢perati☢ns. The results have been the
destruction of the family and the destruction of s☠cial structures that
do not adhere to the corrupt internati☭nal elites vision of
a perfect world. Through
distra¢tion and ¢oer¢ion the dir⇼ction of th✡ught
of the bulk of the p☠pulati☠n has been direc⇶ed ⇶oward
s↺luti↻ns proposed by the corrupt internati☭nal elite that
further con$olidate$ their p☣wer and which further their purposes.
