Satan, Pirates, Kings and Nation States
Considering How We Arrived At Civilizational Collapse
SATAN, PIRATES, KINGS AND NATION STATES
Forward:
From our great elevated positions as the free and independent - yet enslaved - citizens of these Audited States of America - we might be forgiven in making some grand observations of our plight.
Although I could spend this entire essay - and several others - listing the many old and bold pirates who serve to audit and enslave us - I prefer the far more entertaining prospect of indulging in exploring some grave truths.
So onward - my pretties - to the proverbial and inconvenient truth.
THE INCONVENIENT WAGES OF SIN
There is a thesis of history which posits that most of what we accept as polite, nice, academic history is pure - well - ah, to put it politely - a fantasy.
In my own humble and less than adequate scholarship I have found this - however unfortunately as the case may be - to be all too true.
Pirates are all too often agents of the nation states - carrying out the dirty deeds the nation states prefer not to dirty their reputations with.
Historical pirates such as Henry Morgan or maybe even the pirate-explorer who first circumnavigated the earth - Sir Francis Drake - might be viewed as the CIA - intelligence agencies - or the spooks of - earlier times.
The very same one who kindly lent his name to Drake’s Bay - where this writer first went to the beach - and where Baghdad By the Bay rests in ignominious ruin in 2024 - sacked and looted by modern pirates.
In earlier times - as the so called Western powers tried to capitalize on their earlier triumphs with colonialism, apartheid diplomacy, and the purposeful destabilization of all indigenous peoples everywhere - as these nation states sought legitimacy - pirates were vitally important.
Thus the rise of the Queen’s pirate - those who would carry out the dirty deeds so the virgin legitimacy of the real pirates - the nation state - could remain unsullied.
It was a neat trick - so handy in manipulating the public - gaslighting - as it is called today.
All the nefarious forces were raised to the heights of glory in the oh so perfect hindsight of history - white washed to perfection for subsequent generations.
The kings and queens got to look well - royal - legitimized and enthroned for all posterity - when in reality all kings and queens were - and are hopelessly weakened and inadequate - poseurs.
The desperately codependent British Royal family is such a living example today.
Today they don’t need pirates they have politicians, corporations and institutions - and to a lesser degree pirate like shadow figures like Jeffrey Epstein and Sean P Diddy Combs.
EVIL TWINS ROMULUS AND REMUS
According to tradition, Rome was founded by Romulus and Remus in 753 BC. They were twin brothers, sons of a human mother and the god of war, Mars. After their birth, the king ordered them killed. They were placed in a basket and put into the Tiber River - left to die from exposure in the outdoors.
To me this seems like a pretty good formula for the evolution of the codependent society, nation state and families.
Today we inherit much of our polity from the Roman nation state - and it seems to be much of our insanity and codependent society from these mythological twins.
Today our corporations often take on the role of pirate like entities - such as BlackRock and BlackStone - which we might well imagine correspond to historical figures like Black Beard.
As just one for instance we have one of these twin piratical entities financing J. Biden and the other financing D. Trump.
Wall Street - the modern world headquarters of international piracy - owns both candidates- the people are successfully gaslighted and business blunders blithely forward - undisturbed in their plundering and looting of the planet.
The pirates-in- chief prattle on about democracy and freedom - while carrying out criminal act after criminal act - while they whine, wheedle and complain about how completely corrupt the people are.
And as these pirates sit atop more loot than any historical pirate ever dreamed of while engaging in swashbuckling sexual fantasies no pirates ever had access to - the great gaslighted public continues to exist in poverty and in the modern, Industrial Revolution, invention of slavery - wage slavery.
The new pirates gloat and preen - nothing but ever bloating parasites - sucking on the teats of the public purse - like oriental potentates from the Arabian Nights .
This is all pretty obvious and tame stuff - elementary to the most dense and obtuse student of history or political science.
And although a keen observer of truth can go on all day and all night countering the rampant gaslighting which composes both polite history and polite society - the ladies and gentlemen who lunch and who haunt such derelict dens of iniquity such as something called a view - aligned with those who run modern piracy - corporations, government, and institutions - prefer being victimized by the gaslighting.
These are the sorts of observations which lead disaffected pseudo intellectuals like myself to put a decidedly different spin on history, on organized religion, on polite society, on the effete gaslit hogwash of modern technology, modern governance, modern education and academia, and last - but not least - the modern corporations and institutions.
Piracy is a simpler way of framing the true history of these entities as we explore the true extent and scope of the liberal amounts of gaslighting which have been tolerated since before the very first human civilization got manipulated into existence .
Civilization - rather than elevating human kind to a more civilized state - led to a classic dominance hierarchy which might be envied by the classic dominance hierarchy of a baboon troop.
Civilizations have led not to cultural evolution but to cultural and even physical devolution.
The development of farming and the decline of hunter gatherers which led to civilizations meant a critical change in the course of human evolution.
It does not take a bloody genius to see that the highly organized nation state - or “civilization” based on the kind of slavish labor required by farming and the tightly organized bureaucracy to administer it might lead inexorably to tyranny.
Although I am not going to derail the trajectory of this essay by burdening it with too many facts - believing - like Shakespeare -that there is far more to Heaven and earth than facts - I will mention a few observations related to this subject.
Facts are all too often used to gaslight and manipulate - and the philosophy the bard mentions in passing has much to do with both Hamlet’s despair and with King Lear’s blindness - and by extension with our own despair, blindness and codependency.
But once again it does not take a bloody genius to see that large scale farming leads to several inevitable and unexpected consequences .
The growing of cereal grains leads to both the explosion of human populations but also to the explosion of rats - and by extension - to the explosion of fleas and plague.
WOMEN TO PAIN IN CHILDBIRTH & MEN TO PAIN TILLING THE EARTH
Unto the woman He said, “I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception. In sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.”
Then to Adam He said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat from it’; Cursed is the ground because of you; With hard labor you shall eat from it All the days of your life.
So the Bible - which might be said to be the primary literary work of our Western civilization - condemns both men and women to pain and servitude.
Interesting - the very soil becomes cursed and society poisoned by servitude because the people dared eat from the tree of knowledge.
Dare we imagine the Bible would gaslight us?
Well - only if we allow ourselves to imagine the original Bible was re collated by the very same Romans who crucified Jesus.
As we have explored previously - the religion of Jesus is not the problem here - but the allegiance between church and state may be.
Re-framing narratives to manipulate public opinion is an old old story.
But this leads inexorably into our next subject.
BIG AGRICULTURE - THE CURSE OF THE AGES
Feeding human populations cereal grains leads also to rampant tooth decay - and combine tooth decay with plague - and the association of both of these with the slave labor required to till the earth - and we have a recipe for untold suffering on several fronts.
And these very things lead to an unhealthy and easily controlled population - dependent on the overlords for survival.
Then we have the minor observation that large scale farming and expanding populations of humans and rats require both enforcement by a militarized police force - and necessitate the conquest of ever more land.
Thus all in one place we find the genesis of the following:
The development of the modern bureaucratic state apparatus
The development of the human weakness and decay on which this state depends
The necessity of ever expanding wars of conquest
The ever expanded need for the overlords to find ways of controlling the proletariat
The need for ever increasing gaslighting of the population
This scheme reads like a perfect step-by-step recipe for the gaslit - Tower of Babel - teetering house of cards reality of the present world .
I hope the deficiencies of this poor essay have not overridden the kernels of truth which may be found in it.
There is something to be said for the 1500 word essay - but the full incorporation of comprehensive facts - are not among them.
For to adequately explain and remedy the myriad truths which are not contained in this philosophy will take many years and many libraries - maybe many large data centers - of dedicated truth telling.
My sole conclusion is that since I believe Satan embodies the lies we tell ourselves - I believe the defeat of our friend Mephistopheles - lies in telling the truth.
THE TRUTH - THE WHOLE TRUTH - & MAY GOD HELP US ALL
Take heart - star seeds - we have far to go before we sleep.
Thank you so much - appreciate the restack!
I'm glad you mentioned that the Bible might have been altered. I assume that it was. You have one side that decries the book as total nonsense while the other side upholds the well known passages under the assumption that the entirety of it is the unfallible word of God. Neither opinion is correct in my view many things were inspired by the Lord but fallible humans in positions of power also probably tinkered with it. There's too many especially Old testament sections involving the persecution of the poor with oddly very high standards for the priest class, in the sense that they could rape and kill with impunity, for me to believe otherwise...
