...Numbed...

.

Science is wondrous! It gives us ourselves! Its gift's a release from our "devils" and "hells."  It's turned us to *gods*—though a lower case "g"—and it's gone a long way for the "brave" and the "free." It's made us efficient, extended our reach, expanded our grasp... all in all? It's a peach!
.
...But that's a veneer made too much of itself!  Remains it's a threat to our happiness! Health!  Terence McKenna was to show, in his day, that science wrote checks that its ass couldn't pay! Science: a tool for efficient incision, but what it is NOT is religious conviction.  Verily, yes, it is this that it does, with a wave and a nod and an arrogant buzz: but proudly demand that itself be the judge of that it dismisses, ignores... and misjudged.
.
...Still, it shows we're a mote in the eye of the cosmic, a flicker of sentience not alone in the dark! It flies in the face of complacent indifference, our pride, self-possession and a hubris gone stark! Though, we choose to avoid larger lessons it teaches, that we're a mere speck in the eye of some God who is so far above us he's blithely forgotten to give us attention, and so spares us his rod!
.
Perforce we are plagued with an odious ignorance... the sordid results of those faults all our own, as some lack respect for the folk shoved beneath them... where lacking compassion draws blood from a stone!
.
Yes, some we "ignore," and these keep for themselves, the secrets improving our lives? Bloody HELL!!
.
The secret? That—power—to stand quite alone, take control of your "self", and be—safe—in your home? Well, not trifled by persons providing short change, withholding respect and then showing disdain! There is a free lunch that will keep us alive beyond the constrictions of some, I surmise. But profit's now made with its roots in what's passed and we are obliged to "light farts"—read "burn gas."
.
"Some" worship proud science and grind to a halt! Their message is shallow! Its substance needs salt! Their shtick is a limit imposed to pretend that they, quite alone, are your saviors and friends. But that's an untruth and the same kind of lie that I find in man's Gods I decry and despise. See, worship your science and find, with a start, you're losing direction, your purpose—your heart!
.
The "mainstream's" co-opted, distorted, deranged, and pulled from the path of a truth-seeking brain! Its true use corrupted from what it should be—a "sense" that is "common", yet wise, and—YES!—free!
.
The mainstream's been hijacked by those with "agendas," psychopaths burning our bridges "befriend" us, and we're at a loss in their sea of malfeasance... They've hijacked our will... ...then expect an obeisance!
.
My common sense tells me that UFOs are; forgetting we can't know they come from the stars.  Though I am amazed at the conscience of some who would discount the evidence, so prove they're benumbed. Numb in a way that insures our dependence... Numb in a way that precludes our release... Numb in a way that is self-manufactured and lurking those shadows? Disgrace and defeat!
.
The "bunkies" opposing are busily passionate, the rest of us tired and lacking resolve. The bunkies are focused, concordant, and allied, the rest us back-bite, or quibble and stall. The bunkies get "air time" and coast the main stream, truthseekers self-publish or live in their dreams.
.
So how does it work that the least has the most; that the few will abide as the rest become toast. Well, the bunkies have "science" and "God" on their side, so the rest of us suffer a psychopath's ride! None call it treason that few would conspire to limit the heights to which we'd aspire. Though we are constrained, and against our best interests! Misinformed and benumbed: we are weak and defenseless!
.
Comes a new dawn when the Eschaton's here. Concrescence is looming to predispose fear. We as we were? Well, we won't have a clue. We as we'll be? Friend, that's a guess, too.

Man's Gods.  God's of "Man."  Memes and ideas, compelling though they may be and created by an individual, first, to stay on a perceived intellectual incline, are ultimately hijacked and corrupted by the unelected few to do the convenient bidding of those few.  These are the the remnants of betrayed Truth, reader, caught in a cloying aspic of lies and wielded by psychopathic charlatans wearing dresses and collars. Though, expires "the man's" God as man expires, perhaps.  What is God without humankind but regarded not at all.  Verily.  That's what happens to a "God" you invent to do your own bidding.
.
See, true stories, myths, and legends—once captured in impressed clay and old stone from 8000 BCE and beyond—endure, indeed, but, unfortunately become distorted archetypes, memes and mythic metaphors receiving the most current "indoctrinating spin": a spin exclusively facilitating pompous priests and klasskurtxian kings and waxing on the most "common" of the "common era" truths, only!  No real empowering stuff shared, eh?  Just "control mechanisms" of the immortal 1%...  truths at last perverted and otherwise distorted to become a vehicle for the authoritarian rule of feckless misanthropes like Big Dick Cheny.  As history is largely writ by the sociopath, there is of needs a clearer and more honest record of same when one reads between the lines... or in the alternative history extant... for example Zinn, Parenti, or Loewen.  Humankind is predisposed out of greed to the low road reader, and this is precisely why we have phony "feel-good" one.  That true history raises too many questions... along with eyebrows and tempers and so begs the question. "Why do we do this to ourselves?"  Why indeed.
.
Praise God, eh? Not so fast, Skippy. Not unless it is the God described by Theodore Sturgeon in his capstone novel, Godbody. His is the only gospel worth considering, imo.  Read it and see for yourself. Described is the way religion might be—needs to be—could be.
.
See, like Sturgeon, and Spinoza and Santayana, my "mal-attributed" atheism is born out of my true appreciation and respect for the unknowable universe and not a result of the errant Gods fashioned by men to do their self-serving and convenient will as alluded to above... commercial Gods made and then re-made out of whole cloth to impose the desires of a predatory few. Remade?
.
Evolution is fact!  It's "Natural Selection" that is the theory, my Anthropology teacher once informed me, though a theory falling short, pretty much, where it comes to regard humankind.  Evolution...
.
Consider the, now ages old, evolution of the Sumerian god Enlil where it is proposed of God's evolution that it must be at least touched by some form of Darwinian imprimatur, eh? ...ongoing evolution seems to describe a panoply of deities issuing forth from the single God of El or AL, morphing through His tortured transition to Yahweh, the God of Abraham, then on to the kinder and gentler God of Peter and Paul... shortly on to Allah and his Islam so as to retwist the thumbscrews as punishment, presumably, for the kinder and gentler... .
.
..So to re-cap, the God of Mohammed... Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—father, son, and grandson... each remade, like I said, to suit the convenience of his most powerful proponent... sorry. That's the AlienView... all we are is all we are; it's stretched too thin and goes too far!
.
See, if it "works for you," that's fine.  It's your insistence that it is also required to work for your neighbor is the intolerable rub.
.
...And then it occurs to me—almost off the subject, so prepare to shift to a lower gear—that perhaps, initially, we make (or remake!) our bad-penny skeptibunkies the same way we make our lap-dog Gods—as a result of good "press," exclusively and regardless plus that raw convenience we've talked about! Consider the highly controversial Kal K. Korff, by way of example, as a good example of a bad example and known hereafter in this monologue as triple "K".
.
"Deliberate Remanufacture" by a corrupted mainstream would seem to be the only thing allowing genus triple "K" to do what he does, et al, and that is to spring phoenix-like from the righteous ashes of being caught pretty damned foul vis a vis Art Bell in the not so dim past, then Kevin Randle later on, finally Paul Kimball most recently—certainly foul enough (one would have thought!) to preclude his inexplicably "honored" reemergence with such frequency subsequently! But not so.
.
It's something that these "strangely favored" mainstream pundits can do with astonishing regularity.  I write about that process in the link provided below.
.
Consider Gerald Posner of "JFK—Case Closed" as an additional example. Here's yet another shill for the corrupted status quo very scholarly discredited in Doctor Michael Parenti's History As Mystery, but Posner lives on... an effulgent example of other well rewarded *mainstream* lap-dogs... doges earning their chew-toys by keeping the rest of us off balance, dis-informed, or happily ignorant of the "true state of affairs."  I'm not the only one who feels this way...
.
An expansive search in the UFO UpDate archives for the word "Korff" turns up a plethora of pieces in commentary gleaned from just =3= of 55 total pages of very illuminating contributions—from assorted persons—regarding our intrepid triple "K"... some 550 plus messages! That's quite a compilation of the less than efficacious on any researcher...
.
The gist of these messages is tres uncomplimentary... Even "I" don't get that much offended vituperation [g]!
.
...And yes!  Ordinarily, I'd be favorably attracted to such a wide-beamed notoriety, but then I remember the bunch for whom he fronts, CSI and purposefully dim-bulbed Klasskurtxia, and besides, triple "K" is wired in such a manner that he raises the hair on the back of my neck along with bile in my throat... view the archives referenced.
.
The referenced posts are intelligently critical of triple "K" (on balance) and begin to outline an individual begging to have the whole skeptical program roundly re-criticized, unfavorably re-considered, and thoroughly re-discredited. But up, like a whack-a-mole "K" inexplicably pops, regardless!  I've chronicled this actuality before regarding others  ...UP they pop, again and again... Dr Reed, Shawn David Morton... David Jacobs. What's up with that!?!
.
If it were me, or you, gentle reader, we would be sued, fined, secured to stocks, and otherwise solidly pilloried. We'd be tarred and feathered and run out of ufological town on a splintery rail. We'd be indelibly marked, publicly banished, and then professionally shunned. We'd lose our contracts, our book deals, and our professional standing, and we'd never be able to hold our heads up to be taken seriously again! Ever!
.
...But, that merry band, including our spring-tailed triple "K" tiggers back up like a bad penny with apparently more Teflon per square inch than Ronald Reagan had on his slickest day! Rich Reynolds, the same, but I digress revoltingly ...
.
Back at the UFO UpDates ranch.  The overpowering remainder of the posts on the first three pages of discussion were numerous self-promotions written by triple "K" himself, or they were written by a few contributors taking inappropriate (and unconvincing) pains to be evenhanded. There was but one woman writing a glowing (near worshipful) review for one of triple "K's" typical debunking screeds (as a totally disinterested party?), but that review appearing weeks before the book in question, reportedly, had been released anywhere in the world... This provides a decided pawl on that effusive sum-up!? Sock-puppet-much?  ...But that's another digression, albeit related and pregnant.
.
I find that odd, at any rate. You might, too.
.
Eventually, triple "K"—et sig al! Look at the recent reemergence of "Dr" (snort!) Jonathan Reed, alluded to above—getting another opportunity to rise up from his justifiable (and well earned) ashes to spread his shadow-making wings again. A "Triple 'K,' " with a dead alien in his freezer will be ever so chock full of revelations, exposés, and the bearer of many "startling" new accounts!
.
Rich Reynolds is a similar creature, a bird dumping its fecal load and then flying again... followed by History teacher Dr. David Jacobs, from above, of soiled undergarment, chastity belt and toxic psychiatric suggestion fame.  How does he return from his embroglio, on par or worse than family values US Senator Larry Craig getting popped cruising for unprotected sex in large airport bathrooms and trying desperately to hang around to long....  How does one survive this flesh-crawling incredulous happenstance and keep the respect of the honoring majority.  I digress again...

.

Consider that I predicted in February 20, 2002 that triple "K"would even tout himself eventually (however obliquely!) as a hero of "9-11", understand, if you can believe that (and—I—can't!), but Bingo! Too, reader, lately as a "Colonel" in a super, super-secret Israeli Intelligence outfit right out of the Avengers or GI Joe!  Astonishing pule-foolery in high density mawkishness!  Flesh-crawling shame in the observance of it.
.
Just another nine-eleven knock-off making mileage on the backs of the silent sacrificed?  How pathetically egregious. See what I mean about the bile?
.
I suspect that triple "K" and his adjacent cohorts might even appear like they're taking investigative steps bravely forward, but I fear that we are only going to discover eventually, as we all have in the entirely repetitious past, that they've slid us several steps unbravely back, surreptitiously, once again. You only have to remember triple "K's" porcine squealing on the Art Bell show (like Ned Beaty of Dickey's "Deliverance" fame?) to wonder, as I do, how he (et al) would (could!) ever come back, but they do.  They all do!
.
How does that work? That's the real point with this essay... How is it that any of the persons like this, even more thoroughly discredited, always come back.  Triple "K" is a ready example, but there's a plethora of such... Sean David Morton is another as observed above... David Jacobs, also mentioned above, of instant-messages-containing- hypnotic-trances fame is of note, (Notta!) Dr. Jonathan Reed with his "alien in my Freezer"... ...oh you do need a score card.

.
None call it treason, but what do you call a betrayal of not just country, but all speciation down to the last critter walking, crawling, or stinking!  ...Even Reynolds, for a last digression.  I call it social treason.  Read on.

Restore John Ford!
