The Big Event is Coming

by: Stu Piddy

I think we will see a "Big Event" occur before the 2012 elections. Probably a nuclear event.  It could be anything, a bomb, a nuclear plant going haywire, or something else involving radiation or mass poisoning. This event could occur anywhere in the world. It will probably involve the deaths of Americans. No matter who, are what is the cause, it will be blamed on terrorists from the Mid East.

This event would be much larger, I suspect than an airliner or group of airliners going down. It would be centrally located and probably larger in terms of long lasting damage than 911.

The ruling elements of the United States will use the opportunity of this Big Event to further its agenda of complete corporate and military corporate control over domestic and foreign policy.  

This seems to be a pattern.

This movement, the final movement toward an autocratic state seems inevitable. It IS where the United States and many other nations are currently moving toward. To speed up and finalize the process for the long term, it needs a triggering event.

A movement toward authoritarian control and a desire for such an event exist side by side. It has wide public support in the USA.

Many people in the United States have adopted a suicidal attitude toward their shared collective life in the USA.  It's institutionalized in religion. That suicidal urge is not being dampened or held in check by competing ideologies to the extent it was previously. Collective sacrifice is  being more openly talked about, discussed and debated by the media in the form of God's plan, or the "end of times".

It is a physical urge no longer held in check, that seeks resolution. It is a part of American culture. It is an felt urge for self-destruction. It is an anger that seeks expression and is embedded in the American psyche and uses as a cover to disguise itself and it's terrible irrationality, a so called  Judeo-Christian  "philosophy".  

This anger is an anger turned inward. It is no mistake that Christ "sacrificed himself" for our sins (and we should be like Christ) , or that Muslims sometimes beat themselves bloody in religous ritual.  
Stu Piddy :: The Big Event is Coming
It is no mistake that Islam and Christianity were born from Judaism. Christianity and Islam especially promote the idea of the value of sacrifice of one's life on Earth for the benefits of the after life.

These religious ideas have become part of the culture of all the cultures that these religions exist in. They are part of the secular culture. They are embedded in the psyche of the people of these cultures whether they believe in religion or not.

And this is a psychic wound on humanity. It is a disturbance. It is a skewed view and it has been forced and cajoled on humanity by its alleged "leaders" throughout history for purposes primarily of control.  This is the ultimate "blowback" for centuries of misinformation and historical lies about human nature and our place in the Universe. Our place in the Universe is clearly not central or particularly significant outside of the Planet Earth. Observation shows that we are a part of something that we cannot comprehend.  And it appears we are not at all unusual.  We wonder if there is other "intelligent" life in the Universe. This is the ultimate expression of human stupidity because simple observation answers that question with an obviousness that cannot be denied.

The Universe is teeming with intelligent life. It is our primitive politically manufactured religions that casts doubt on this. It's obvious. People who believe in intelligent life outside the Earth are ridiculed by their cultures. It would make "religion" too difficult to explain if the obvious presence of other life forms were allowed to be called, obvious.  

This wound, this desire to self-destruct  and to deny our observable lack of central importance to the Universe, is an open sore. It seems inevitable now, that this wound, which expresses itself as an urge for death, will soon manifest itself in the form of a nuclear exchange, precipitated by smaller events.  

One of these smaller events, I think will occur before the election.

This doesn't look too good.

I think the current wars (4.00 / 1)
are the least cloaked in religious significances of any yet. It's relatively obvious to the modern person that this is about the usual territorial defense/acquisition. The kingly dipensation of religiously saturated justifications, reactions and counterreactions no longer exists in its vacuum.

Religion's now a gnat following a much larger stench. Even if it weren't centuries too late, I still think it's silly to talk about that sort of role in any of this. Doing so validates the truthiness of the propaganda; where we're told that people are fighting because they're influenced by the incorrect religion, or that what we're fighting to protect is the myth of our existence, and not our universal hegemony.

Laura's pretty smart.

I didn't want to emphasize religion, maybe I did...Relgion is a complication and has nothing to do with God. It has to do with imagined power and powerlessness.

True (0.00 / 0)
So the imagined powerful try to paint the truly powerless as having more imagined power than they would ever aspire to in reality. Religion is just the easiest frame in which to spread this message to those who've been taught to supress their intellectual instincts. It's so much more simple than the accepted narrative. And ever increasingly so, to the imagined powerful's detriment.

That's the human curse, our short life span. But really it's too long. Other animals don't have these problems. Elephants and certain reptiles/birds seem to be the most advanced intelligent life forms.

Wealth is interpreted as Intelligence (5.00 / 1)
You know a human brain wouldn't work in an ant's body or an elephants. You'd be a pretty bad ant with a human brain. You woudn't be able to act intelligently as an ant and you would die quick.

Intelligence is just doing things that are beneficial to your well being.

Humans think they are superior to plants and other animals...I don't know what the animals and plants think but I don't think that may be one of their considerations under normal circumstances. Being able to control and dominatie other life forms, even minerals isn't  necessarily a sign of intelligence. Death doesn't play favorites either.

Death doesn't make a distinction between  humans, animals and plants

I'm only interested if the Bears are playing.

I feel related to you somehow lol. (4.00 / 1)
I grew up a good drive away from Chicago but had many friends there, and later lived there in the shittiest possible situation/area for a few years. The Bears reigned in the tri-quad or whatever state area when I was a wee one but no one I knew in Chicago ever even mentioned such stereotypes except this really crazy city electrician guy, a few years older than my other friends and removed from what could be called 'our scene'...he was a lifetime PCP head and very interesting, for that fact alone if you never got to know him. I mean who sherms recreationally these days, especially in their 30's. A really brilliant person, totally Chicaagoan. Pre 'Chi-town'. First night we hung out together there was an indescribably intense deconstruction of 'Forrest Gump' and then we hijacked a golf cart and drove it illegally about 8x the proper speed around an unsuspecting retirement campground. I think we may have almost died if it weren't for the drugs.

Da Bears.

There was a guy like that in the Lake District by University of Washington. (0.00 / 0)
Worked making prosthetics in Physiology and Biophysics, down the hall. Weird. Robots in his living room, scurrying around the floor, psychedelic neon bulb sunflowers, Brewster McCloud on the TV, Dylan LP spinning at 45rpm, meanwhile, convoluted conversations about 'Nam, consciousness, machine and otherwise, women, bless their hearts, salmon trolling, and always, neurons.

Definitely a step up from the red wine poets of North Beach, total variant from the Haight. Motorcycles are an entry...

I wonder if he's still alive. Burning both ends and the middle. Lost track. Can't remember his name.

If it does come... (0.00 / 0)
I think it's coming from Pakistan. The drone executions  alone are creating a climate for a justified response. Don't know if their missiles are intercontinental capable but they can surely reach American bases and American allies. That would force a second strike response from the U.S. and then the dominoes start falling. After that we can start partying like its 2012.

"May we live long and die out"
There's a law, Stu. (4.00 / 1)
And surely it's a universal law.  The law is:  Technology advances.  "You can't put the genie back in the bottle".  I suppose, this law holds true for all intelligent species in the universe.

The law of inevitable technological advancement is particularly driven by military technology, because military technology is power.

A consequence of this law is that weapons continually become smaller, cheaper, easier to produce, and more powerful.  This means that a small disaffected group, or even an individual (i.e., McVeigh) can wield incredible destructive power, soon, even nuclear power.

And this means that the forces of order (the "establishment" that you hate so insanely) must become more and more powerful and intrusive, to avoid chaos.

It's the law.

I am agreeing with you, here. (0.00 / 0)
The "big event" is coming.
[ Parent ]
Intelligent species (0.00 / 0)
favor destruction via their own creations? Could this be a scientific definition of "intelligence"?

Please: What observable natural phenomenon is a "genie"? And what "bottle" is this of which you speak?

Are these scientific laws, presented in some sort of code for those of us less enlightened?

[ Parent ]
"You can't put the genie back in the bottle" (0.00 / 0)
Is the colloquial equivalent of "Technology advances".  I'm sure you've heard the phrase before, and you know what it means.

I put a lot of thought into that comment.  If the best you can do is pop off from the top of your head, don't bother.

I'm reading, g-zod, I'm reading. (4.00 / 1)

My thoughts sorta strayed to the need for leaders in tribal structures, and the availability of exile in the old days for sports like stupid there. Now we send them to the Intertubes where they play pff pachinko with their brains.

"from the top of my head."

And you may not think it fair to point out the idiom's connection to Islam, but I do.

So... technology is inherently evil if those with whom one does not agree avail themselves of it?

Why should one worry? It "works." In a very observable fashion.

[ Parent ]
I think you are replying to someone else. (0.00 / 0)
My comment had nothing to do with Islam, and there was no implication that technology is evil.

What is "it" that "works"?

[ Parent ]
Fair enough. (3.00 / 1)
I misunderstood.

Technology advances equally for all. And to the good, whenever one utilizes "science"? And no matter from what viewpoint one comes?

and... "technology" works. Of course. And, might I add for those who may not have been following this debate, that technology is amoral. Not immoral. Amoral.

But it "works". Somehow.

[ Parent ]
Technology advances but human life spans don't allow us enough maturity to cope with it. (3.50 / 2)
Technology advances...historically and lives on,  accumulating one layer upon the next....and new human beings come and go, inheriting the accumulated technology from previous generations. The technology gets smarter but the people don't have time due to our life span to mature with the techonology...that's one aspect.

[ Parent ]
Not to mention the forgotten mini dark ages that have plagued every culture (3.50 / 2)
from the beginning of time.

I was just reading about a certain type of lustreware pottery and it's artisanal technique that had been lost for half a millenia due to the expired dynastic affiliation of the keepers of the trade secret.

Similar things are bound to happen again with weapons, global infrastructure and even trade as we know it. A bit more of a serious outcome. Though maybe eventually positive in a few lifetimes from now, we can only 'hope'.

Globalism is doomed to fail...the groupings are too large. These unnaturally large groupings are the direct antecedent of this advanced weaponry technology. Humans are afraid of large abstract influences more than anything else, it's what we innovate against time and time again.

But what I think is missing from accepted social theory are the wild fluctuations in various sophistications throughout human history. Even given the astronomic 20th c. accomplishments it's folly to believe we're immune to another - perhaps slightly less slight than before - reckoning in geologic time.

[ Parent ]
True, (0.00 / 0)
Technology is lost in dark ages, but the overall curve is hyperbolic.  Surely, a "reckoning" at this point would be fatal?
[ Parent ]
For us prolly, yeah. (0.00 / 0)
But I'm more afraid of climate change effecting humanity's future than nuclear disaster...unless it were somehow unleashed in global synchronicity of course.

A planet-ending, unavoidable meteor on a collision course with us, just as our technological advancement curve approaches verticality?

Well the meteor thing would be a game ender (0.00 / 0)
No one left to lament our 'decline'. Why do you think there's a (positive)verticality? That's the nut I'm most interested in cracking. The 'hope' nut.

Interesting train of thought here... a la Bill Joy's singularity (0.00 / 0)

I just wonder about that relation between the artificial intelligences of whatever kinds needed to handle the technical overflow, and our simple needs to be, by and large, merely entertained. We may not keep up, but we breed enough geniuses out at the tail of the bell curve to keep inventing the gadgetry we so enjoy. Soon it will even be efficient. Even now, it's much cheaper to buy a 40" HDTV and follow Anthony Bourdain through his experiences. He's as cool as I'd ever get, and he gets to have the hangovers!

You know, WIRED magazine wasn't named after electronics, per se, but after the concept of "being wired", hooked up to whiz bang technology, even to the point of being jacked in physically to a virtual reality electronic console. Of course wireless technology might soon actually give us a blue tooth, connecting us with a world of pleasure.

Imagine Taste-O-Rama in India! Simple piece of fine-grain neurosurgery in the tongue, hook up to the bluetooth, click on the travel shows, and save all that carbon footprint from traveling. It's all about the experience, isn't it? It's the mind that wants the views, tastes, smells, and a little 3D disorientation! Avatar in the Bahamas!

Orgy porgy.

Now follow the logic here, stu... (0.00 / 0)

Most people are religious, of their parents' religion, which means they were lied to regularly about believing in evidence rather than authority.

Most of the world is living with major compartments of their mind dysfunctional or non-functional.

So you can stop presuming rationality to any degree.

All that fussin' fer nuttin'

And I would say to that FDL front pager, right back at you.

"Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it", Helen Keller, communist.
