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."

Testicular Fortitude

TESTICULAR FORTITUDE Today's (12.16) mysterium conjunctionis - union of opposites

New Blue News

The new grammar of being American*, Christian*, human* => splits canonical union of (psychological) opposites infused in discourse... <= (which are then) re-combined by false mix-matching text and tokens in communication. This is best explained through examples. Everything communicated by MSM discourse pivots around what are technically called "reversals*" (<= concentrated contradictions in sign-use, in which text*-> negates what token*<- shows).

Items threading the apriori self-contradictory symbolic unity : It's all about testicular fortitude but there are two Archetypal orders of that, material and spiritual.


1. Al Q plans Xmas attack on America (holy birth<=>terror threat) reversal of love to anxiety; one as real as the other on streets and in homes
-cf. entire category of "Christmas crimes" on Drudge ("Copper thieves burn down City of Birmingham's Christmas tree" etc.) Christmas spirit in Congress? - used as political foil, not without real anguish; but 'doubled'.
Birth 1: by text => emergence of body, from Womb - Jesus from Mary
Birth 2: by token => emergence of mind-spirit (unio mentalis) from state of sleep ('entombed in the body'; cf. Osiris in Oak casket; mental renewal through the Holy Spirit. John 3.5-16)
Completion of Birth 2, re-birth by spiritual renewal, marrying the lower to the higher. has already been blocked by '08 "underwear bomber".
Psychosemiotic note on Maureen Dowd's article "Usurper In Chief", NYT 12.15 A23 (more below, 4). Its effect is to block "birthers" challenging Obama's legitimacy on grounds of fact -- lack of fool-proof certification as native born citizen. By personalizing the issue, as in the demeaning reference to those insisting on it, as if only little twerps would bring it up. Serious ones, however, are standing up for the symbolic canon of higher unity.
That canon assigns the President of the United States the symbolic role of "Father of our Country". In historical terms, the coincidence of this president in that symbolic role ...and birth on American soil as qualification of citizenship;... *this coincidence), will make those born in 'o8 and after the "Obama generation." .Recollection of origins will retain this symbolic link. Merged with impressions of his personal charactristics, this transpersonal connection will determine how those born in this period will remember the America they were born into. This I-We sibling bond, even if only given by time, constitutes a delegate identity for those who follow paths predicated on it (public service). It's who "we" are at the delegate level, a latent strata of the Collective Unconscious.

The female point of unity of group process => the Anima=> delegate position of America's soul => symbolic bride of the Father. (The inauguration => hi-concept union of symbolic opposites).

2. House passes end-DADT bill; sent to U.S. Senate (the companion homosexual initiative, same-sex marriage, reverses the canon defining marriage as holy matrimony as union of gender opposites.

3. Senate passes tax cuts for the rich bill by whopping majority. Obama calls key House members, threatening "end of presidency" unless they approve his tax bill to help the rich. Pitching in his Father role with the rapists.

4. Maureen Dowd compares Obama to Hitler in pursuing anti-"birther" tirade, with reversal to the Nazi position -- U.S. Marine Col. Larkin berated for challenging Obama's legitimacy.
This is a Catholic daughter of...

5. The Holy See and Thee (upperbody-undressed acrobatic team performs for Pope.)

MSNBC morning anchor Willie Geist showed a snippet of the Pope in chair watching the manly performance, expressed disgust.

6. Julius (Caesar- Assange) behind bars, (exposed their* secrets) released on bail today. U.S. trying to force Sweden to extradite him on sex charges.

7. Stripping in airports for the TSA. (revenge/ reversing demands made on them --
http://cubachi.com/2010/11/14/german-flesh-mob-strips-in-airport-to-protest-of-tsa-body-scanners/ fems as well as males -- but it's core message is exposure of 'male secrets'; cf .the poster picture of anti-TSA genital fondling.
