Militarism cultivates foreign threats; it identifies enemies who become objects of hate; and it fuels anger from the harms endured in conflicts. Therefore, it serves as the foundation for the ‘politics of fear’ – a strategy used by political leaders throughout history as a way of building support and repressing dissent.

Today I’m very tired and very disappointed with human kind. Occultists and mystics always try to be somewhat positive, even in their most atrociously vivid eschatological ravings and keep a faith that human kind or part of it will steer the bull by its horns towards a better path. Today I’m very tired and lack any motivation whatsoever to believe that mystic and occult views will be appealing to more than people on the cultural fringe. But alas, I hope anyone that wants to dive into the occult or “new wave" or para-psychology, if you have to read a book and/or a writer than make that choice Robert Anton Wilson and his book “Prometheus Rising”. While a best seller, Robert Anton Wilson had already made a name for himself for being an editor of the Playboy magazine and writing together with Robert Shea the ”Illuminatus Trilogy”. So download HERE his prolific “Prometheus Rising” book. Or don’t. Fuck if I care.
