Sid Thomas S*-ing to Power

S*-ing to Power **** S is for Sign, * is for Use. S*, as in S*-ing, is for SLINGING THE SHLONG AGAINST PHILOSOPHICAL AND OTHER ABUSE (Let S* be verse, picture, symbology, rant, whatever talks eternal, American, now) The world is ready and waiting for what we can do here. As John Calvin put it, differently, "It's up to you."

Black is the Ace of Spades

Black
is the Marriage of Opposites

Aim here:
To connect: (H1N1 Vax assault /Obamanazi surge speech) / e*1/ (NY Times columnist David Brooks on Hanukkah 12.11.09 / Antoun stabbed by Al Zahrani 12.4.09)

e*1 connects by carrying over the objective common factor in S*1 ( -/- ) to S*2(-/- ), this factor being irrational acts undertaken to combat cocked up enemies threatening our blood, soldiers abroad, virus shield at home (paranoid hypochondriacal fixation on poison-blood fantasy, aki Hitler’s Germany before WWII in which “the Jews” were projectively blamed for causing it). Obama is required to reverse the intent of Norway’s most prized international gift to wage unjust war for false peace. A celestial marriage of opposed forces momentarily spiraled visibly in its night sky, as if circling a black hole point of laser-radiation emitted. Metaphysical analysis consistent with known laws of physics would allow for this to be a manifestation, above, of the violent, irreconcilable psychic conflicts and anguish, below.

The stabbing of Professor Antoun in the circumstances first reported is another token of Light/Dark//Holy/Evil forces colliding with blood letting. It is The Blood – not signified in shootings -- and Why It Is Shed -- that sacralizes these violent contradictory 12.12.09 conjunctions. “Some Say I’ve got the blood of the lamb in my voice,” Bob Dylan sings, and I hear it. But tokens of wrongful unity, translated into contradictory texts for war, may threaten a psychic spiralic contraction, blasting earth with a Blackness.

Two texts from the NY Times uncannily elaborate these visuals. One is David Brook’s “The Hanukkah Story”, http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/11/opinion/11brooks.html?scp=2&sq=David%20Brooks&st=cse
evoking overlay of Jewish and Christian December ‘holiday’ (ex: holy day) season, faint-praising Manachem Begin (tacitly) and the Maccabbees for “struggles that saved a people,” but “are dappled with tragic irony, complexity and unattractive choices.” The lesson of Hanukkah is not the lamp miracle of faithful supply which he says rabbis added “to give God at least a bit part in the proceedings.” This is the tough side of things. Brooks is here to tell us that “Hanukkah is the most adult of holidays. It commemorates an event in which the good guys did horrible things, and the bad guys did good things and in which everybody is flummoxed (Reagan word, isn’t it?) by insoluble conflicts that remain with us today. It’s a holiday that accurtely reflects how politics is, how history is, how life is.” So says DB. But I call this snake brain Jewish metaphysics, thankfully not the mindset of most who are smeared by his corrupted insouciance. The problem with evoking ultimate distinctions between blood-sealed sacrifices predicated on good and evil, right and wrong, then yanking any grounding in reality out from under these distinctions, is that it leaves one with nothing. It negates what it affirms: some distinctions make an ultimate difference, but both are a part of life, ultimately neither is better than the other. This is not a coherent rational position. It manifests the same blatant self-evident self-contradiction in asserting “There is more that one One True God.” (Brooks mentions that “the Jews had their one central idea: the idea of one true God.” But that is what Muslims call Allah.)

Self evident though it be, this point is routinely and deliberately ignored, therefore requiring reiteration. The consequence of not is predicating on a self-contradiction motivated by inclusive gee0hearted illusion. The One True God cannot be both the one worshipped by Muslims called Allah and that worshipped by the 1500 -1000 b.c Hebrews called YHWH/Elohim.

If the double talk itself was what Al-Zahrani was stabbing, then it perpetuates the threat of future killings not to understand that fact and cover that up. Yet that is what is under way by the failure to relate the stabbing to the thesis content. The double talk would consist not only in the contradiction of One True God used of two different objects, but in the contradiction between two projected absolute distinctions between Good and Evil or right and wrong behavior, as well. It is like saying “There are white, cows whose milk nourishes, and black whose milk poisons and you must make a choice in the dead of night.” Since at night all cows are black, the distinction is worthless. If you are alive when morning comes, you chose rightly; if you are not, the fact that you chose wrong would be of no possible concern except to those living.

The second article published by the NY Times as news analysis by author Scott Shane http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/12/us/12assess.html “New Cases Test Optimism on Extremism by U.S. Muslims". Content snippet: “The rampage in Fort Hood, Tex., and the account of Virginia men who went to Pakistan challenge the idea that U.S. Muslims are less vulnerable to radicalization than those in Europe.” Besides these, Shane cites the arrest of Afghanistan born Najibullah Zazi, David Coleman Headley of Pakistan-American descent living in Chicago, Bryant Neal Vinas, Muslim convert from Long Island, Somali-Americans from Minnesota. Taken all together, these perhaps count as an incipient up rising – except imminent threat seemed far off in space and time, if it existed at all. Most mind boggling was Shane’s addendum: “And there were cases of would-be terrorists who plotted attacks in Texas, Illinois and North Carolina with conspirators who turned out to be F.B.I informants.” In other words, sting operations. Maybe all were stings, or otherwise staged. Sting, the guitarist, performed in a Catholic church last Sunday. Notable by its absence was any mention of Binghamton’s slaying by a Saudi national the previous week. Maybe it lay outside the type of homegrown Islamic radical he was profiling, but there may well have been another reason for omitting it. If Al-Zahrani act is taken as stabbing the double-talk itself, a transcendental symbolic effort to end the system of BAIT / SWITCH – FROM program promising advancement according to scholarly merit in graduate work, TO a program that negated the full expression of positive religious force of his work, then Antoun would not be killed for the kind of individual he was, but as token/apotheosis of BAIT/ SWITCH duplicity screwing up not just his life but all humanity. Both are victims of Blackness manifesting at a metaphysical crease in reality their lives lay on either side of, forced into survival relations against one another by conflict of U.S.-Israeli vs Arabic-Muslim interests abroad, reflected here. Shane notes this dynamic: “A few analysts, in fact, argue that Mr. Obama’s decision to send more troops to Afghanistan—intended to prevent a terrorist haven there—could backfire.” Or blowback, as blackness striking. That Blackness could be understood as a Force entering the bloodstream, innervating muscle spasms of mindless involuntary slashing. That is how the hypothesis would explain the shift from academic into frenzied knife slayer – psychic invasion by transpersonal, sacred historical force. To whatever extent the U.S.-Israeli side is objectively wrong, to that extent the force in Al-Zahrani’s arm is empowered. It is not to be supposed that is something those charged with University administration are eager to see play out. That would be one more reason why Binghamton’s story is avoided in the MSM like the plague.

Speaking of which, and returning to the connection between H1N1 virus and jihadists, the Shane’s article laments: “with the alarming account of five young Virginia men who went to Pakistan seeking jihad , the notion that the United States has some immunity against homegrown terrorists is coming under new scrutiny.” The metaphor had to be chosen for its metaphysics: though blithely imagining ourselves previously healthy, immunity to Swine flu/Muslim extremist attack now must be discarded as myth (double gasp for breath).
