This practice is psychosemiotic testimony to how ancient Persian civilization is.
It encodes an adaptive process that neutralizes adverse reaction to the content of what one wishes to ‘get across’ by advance identification with it, as if perfectly justified. “You should have nothing but sticks and curses for such a donkey as I,…”
disinclination of the-positioning expected of the other’s reaction to what is to be communicated by identifying with it. This catches them off guard, =>’s them to
Mythopoeic truth erasure:
“Long age and far away”…”True, but not really…” “Everywhere but nowhere …”
Such phrases present the soul brain’s perception of reality, shielded from brain 1’s prickly and irrelevant criticisms. “Truthiness IS truth,” for it. For it, “to be is to be communicated”, esse est communicatio. However, the psychosemiotic style of its expression does not quite ‘square’ with the attitude expressed, unless the co-respondent takes it in a particular way, as jocular, heheheh, ‘you’re putting me on’ gambit. If they are not in that mood, and perhaps resist going there, it will be resented or at best ignored. To hear “I know I’m nothing to you!, but..” => subtexts to: “I know I’m a problem for you, but...”, popping up => “On Guard!” reflex.
For this style of self effacing “you want to hit me, don’t you?” psychosemiotic gesture can also work as the snake brain using brain 2 (soul) pull on regard for intellectual honesty (“Don’t deny that crossed your mind, asshole”) for brain 1 to acknowledge. This is what arouses ‘suspicion’.
It is not a malicious sign use per se, as nor any psychosemiotic mechanism. It can be a way of saying “I’ve got your number, bub; whatever you say.” It can be a welcomed icebreaker to real feeling expression. (“Well, as a matter of fact,…”).
This, I think, explains the venomous intensity poured out against Iranian president Mahmood Ahmadinejad in his 0’7 U.N. visit. This quality was palpable, heaped on by an insulting introduction by Columbia U.’s president to him, as invited speaker. It seemed evident that he was being treated as a poisonous serpent, which, apart from statements about ‘wiping Israel off the map”, I simply didn’t get. But it seemed as if HE did. Something in the composed glint in his eye said “this LOL’s on you, morons”; a powerful existential to quoque. It is style taroof, taken as proceeding from the reptile brain. Protestation confirms what it would deny.
The reaction toward him as venomous snake was an in-kind brain interaction outside the psychic depths of most non-mid-easterners. America was audience to this unconscious exchange. Of course “WE” cannot openly favor one over the other. We love them both. Unruly children, they’re, refusing to settle their differences and move on. Maybe under the leadership of Obama?
This closes the cycle of argument, again, because this is where the glitch entering discourse in Vietnam hasthat has invited this deadly repartee into American discourse.
TAROOF ME UP, SCOTTIE!
(Or: the collapse of the bubble of Israeli group fantasy)
The entire nation is shapeshifting under the twin snake brain assault of Israel and Iran.
The clear winners of the protracted, extracted, etc. ‘08 election, by default, were the two “I”’s in the Mid-east: Israel and Iran. Now, their eternally irreconcilable soul-snake brain coiling and recoiling has become a war dance of death.
The ’08 election stole and virtually buried democracy. No anti-war, pro-Palestinian, anti-Georgian voice was heard to countervail both party candidates’ positions and commitments. Pro-Israel policy has never been approved by the American electorate; has never even been on a state or national ballot. Yet, from all the kow-towing, wooing, ass-kissing the candidates did to win “the Jewish vote”, down to apparently paying Hillary Clinton $10 mill to blurt out “obliterate Iran, I would!”, anybody would swear it was all or mostly about them. And that the great majority of Americans ‘voted with their feet’ to give unflinching, robust, unqualified support to Israel. Whatever their political leaders decide; ‘our strongest democratic ally in the Mid East’, they’r.
That is one point. A countervailing voice against the policies of the candidates these issues, was never heard. Yet they are presented and predicated on as having been democratically approved. That is a stolen election, and the thieves are those who want war with Iran.
Iran is predicated on as virtually packing nukes already, by Israeli spokespersons. Threatening East Europe, if not D.C, NYC, Chicago, San Francisco, calling for a missile shield and strong NATO response. To Israel, the threat is said to be “existential”. They can’t live with it. Even the idea of sitting down eyeball to eyeball with Ahmadenijad and his taroof is rejected – on grounds that snake brain psychology explains.
With this array of tokens, texts spanning the full hierarchy of self-referring S* used collectively. These determine how people ‘be themselves’ communicating as Americans. When we call ourselves “we”, the common bond of fetal origins is tokenized – even by the sound, since it is one used universally for “we ones”, “wee”, and “wee wee”. L deMause has defined the inner sense of ‘membership’ in a group (logically transposed to “class membership”) as the fantasy of shared fetal origins, siblings in a common mother’s womb. This connects tokens of “we”- ness, not only to totalities, as if “I” and “all” occupied the same portion of TokenSpace (and “one for all” texted it); but also to original sin, Aiken, the need for punishment (split off => projected into a group ‘enemy’), and the need for salvation (split off from Jesus => Barabus/Barnabus/Madoff) => ’08 election and Israel’s obliteration of Gaza.
O’Bubble Obama
Totally fetalized, inside the MSM group fantasy “we” bubble. They’ve taken away his blackberry now.
Total transparency – he sees us; we see him; the same language is spoken; crises are being addressed. Yet something seems not-quite-right about what is going on, despite honest and sincere efforts to observe every protocol and tacit understanding to make it appear so. The pictures don’t quite go with the words. Something ain’t ‘square”. In fact, a psychosemiotic Reversal has occurred; a false reality has become squared under self-contradiction. What is presented as ‘total transparency’, us seeing him seeing us, is total illusion. Truman Show reality. America the reality show.
A kind of fantasy-reality psychic inversion is under way, with America desperately trying to disappear into the same oblivion-womb from which it is equally desperately trying to free itself. “We” have disappeared into the bubble with Barak. “WE”, in fact, through the omnipresent MSM, are Obama’s Second bubble. The consequences of pursuing unsustainable, self-destructive policies for all these years of Bush are multiple crises all now look to the new president to resolve.
The Third Bubble, containing our “WE”, is the “existential threat to Israel,” so called. This is one widely used term for the current acutely felt collective state vis a vis Iran’s growing* nuclear capacity. The collapse-upheaval stage of Zionist group fantasy is taking place in it, to burst it.

“Why Israel Feels Threatened
MANY Israelis feel that the walls — and history — are closing in on their 60-year-old state, much as they felt in early June 1967, just before Israel launched the Six-Day War and destroyed the Egyptian, Jordanian and Syrian armies in Sinai, the West Bank and the Golan Heights.”
“Closing in”, collapsing walls of the group fantasy womb surround => mounting ‘pressure’ felt by Israelis to “burst out”, as Bernie Morris triumphally reminds all they did in ‘67. His closing remarks recapitulate this theme:
“Israel’s sense of the walls closing in on it has this past week led to one violent reaction. Given the new realities, it would not be surprising if more powerful explosions were to follow.”
The template is actual shared birth process, flashback to the “time” when “we” have come ‘full term”, and “given the new realities” are driven by repetition-compulsion to Blast Out, the upheaval stage in which an ‘enemy’ springs to life in TokenSpace, externalizing the Poisonous Placenta.
Even as this is written, cable news channels reports IDF soldiers ready to go into Gaza. But great hesitation, and Reversals, abound. The attempt to show themselves decisively in charge is having the opposite effect. It is beginning to look to all the world like ethnic or ideological cleansing, that is to say genocide.
The enemy this time, Hamas, was democratically elected ideology in Gaza. The MSM portrays them as scavaging militants hiding in civilian areas using women and children as human shields. “Holding Gaza hostage,” was Sec. of State Rice’s term. This is a Reversal. “Hamas” is become a token of their Poisonous Placenta that must be violently destroyed in order to for them to ever breath free.
“Existential threat” translates: bubble 3: Israel’s collapsing womb-surround; Iran nuke threat in the East, Gaza targeted for genocidal violent rebirth.
There is one legitimate S*thread justifying Israel’s attack: the clause in Hamas’ charter that does not recognize Israel’s right to exist. This is given various wordings, but this is the phrase commonly used to justify getting Hamas classified as a terrorist organization. It is inside the grammar of this third bubble (which contains the bubble that contains Obama) that theological connections (soul-snake brain twistings) blend with geo-political ones (pure snake) to generate political (soul brain) process. This process itself is Squared by the politics of abortion: the theologizers (the higher) declare those who favor legal abortion (the lower) to be ‘baby killers’ (the abhorrent ‘middle’). But a reversal has occurred at the point where the higher blends with the lower, whereby the adult “God” is predicated of the “unborn”. => terminating pregnancy ‘any time after conception’ shears a psychosemiotic processing link between subject and predicate in anti-abortionist’s grammar. This is the regular site of reversals: where higher blends with lower. If the reversal occurs, the resulting middle will be twisted, unsquare. If it, in turn, is further predicated on, the result “squares the contradiction.” Such forms are extremely common, wherever a political term is used with the expectation that one who challenged it would be defeating themselves by doing so (“Yes, indeed, I approve of murdering babies”). “Pro-life” is used this way. Abortionists are pro-death.
… Wall Street, Lehmann Bros. Madoff, Spitzer, all gone. Womb-surround collapsed. Only a violent rebirth effort can save them from reaping the wages of original sin. This effort is being waged in Gaza against Hamas.
