3. Explanation: the templates behind the grammars

Part 1.

Discourse* may be regarded as ‘poisoned’ (“poisoned discourse*”) when, in matters of life and death, calling attention to it*s character as this-or-that is accusatory, bringing oneself under suspicion of harboring hatred, aligning with enemies, and/or plotting to kill it’s* users. The aroused suspicions are invariably screamed at as irrational, malicious, insane, dangerous, beyond the pale… (*see footnote for further amplification)

Alternately: terms used in such a manner that those who participate in its grammar become complicit in self-condemning applications and implications. The grammar of the pronoun “we” to express agreement with those using it according to rules that incur complicity in its applications and implications). Or: dangling terms whose use invokes tacit sanctions (ex.: “delusional plan…”) expected to be picked up – rejected or approved – in further conversation (“..to conquer Afghanistan”).

Part 2. Examples

A. Common Type

Featuring as common singularity: talk about, with, by the signs “war” (word token) and “911” (number token designator), as used in the sentence:

S*i “911 justified (the) war (on terror)” (or “..was used to justify..”: these can be taken as grammatically identical for present purposes). The words “the ‘, “on terror” are inserted in parenthesis only to supply context of use recognized in actual common discourse.

Risky to Disagree

Challenging these uses, as by Alex Jones’ shouting “911 IS AN INSIDE JOB!” into a bull horn; or by ‘speaking out’; even by ‘writing your congressman’, tacitly accuses S*i talkers of killing 3,000 911 victims for (oil, Israel, personal glory. empire aggrandizement … take your pick). They are (must be) as insane as Hitler and the Nazis who slaughtered 6.000.000 Jews. “Obsessed and Deranged” Frank Rich’s Sunday 2.28 NYTimes term for those sympathetic to Joe Stack III’s “kamikaze mission” -- the tax protestor who flew his explosive-loaded plane into an Austin, Texas office building that housed the IRS Feb. 18. “Anybody who thinks like Stack is a threat to do what he did” is the poisoned derivative. They might even win a media name for the disability: Stackers*, to go with Birthers*, Truthers*, Tea-baggers*, in today’s mainstream street parlance. Anti-semitism*, “homophobia*, racism*, pro-life*, evil* H1N1 vax* in yesterday’s. Lump these together and add: Evangelicals*, Christian right*, Zionism*, Israel*, Roman Catholic*, together with “anti*-s”. .=> (this comprises, as a mental content) a set, or group of Tokens distributed by text over entirely separate, independently organized domains of application (like metaphor), throughout the common cognitive discourse. The group*, itself, has an inner organization, built around/into/by the grammar of S*i. It* could be called “The Axis of Hate”

Metphysical Metaphor for Poison Token cluster: Black Widow Spider Web.


It* functions* like a black widow’s spider web. The textual, true-false links (factual; objective-causal, or subjective-grammatical) supply Tokenspace lines for distributing venom whenever a true (“pro-“) or false (“anti-“) S*i derivative shows up on the grid. The Black Widow Spider crawls around looking for those who are exposing themselves to danger by admitting one or the other. (=> Medusa, pulling your leg*, putting you on*, pulling the wool over your eyes* (<=fron Sufism; “suf” is wool), pulling your leg*: enticing soul danger danger by body allurements)


****
(… footnote: These are marks of projective behavior, accompanied by reversal of adult-child positions of consciousness. Projection-reversal is Lloyd deMause’s apt term for what happens when an adult regresses to identification with their ‘inner child’, treating an actual child as a punishing adult. Paradigm: A distraught mother screaming “You want to kill me, don’t you?”, while waving a butcher knife over the head of her squaling, shitty, kicking 3 year old kid. See Part 3.)


Final note on poisoned reversal

Poisoned discourse is illustrated by laws ostensibly against hate speech, when the protected speech in question itself projects an underlying attitude of hate (e.g., twisting expression of white, straight, Southern male pride of ancestry into “bigotry against minorities”. And this, just snipped from a UK site: “I may not be racist, but I sure am tired of answering the question.” Regression of the psychosemiotic level of common group discourse to exchanging conscious content related only to the poison cluster is the agenda of those hooked by the Poison Cluster pod. The token in every committed, sincere link can be turned, substituted for/by an exact opposite, so that predication on it* is always simultaneously predication on what it is intended to reverse. This depicts the degenerate form of logically degraded discourse: ~S*^S* (the token of a sign negating its text.) This form defines the principle of logical necessity as the reverse of its demonstrable impossibility. It can also be seen

peace, goodwill, understanding, cooperation, unity

******

AFTER GROUP DISCOUSE HAS BEEN POISONED

-All disagreement is total; none can be resolved w/o shifting S*i levels, where the opposites will break out again.

-There are two kinds of people participating in every “we” conversation: those predicating consciously or unconsciously on the poison tokens
