“The World According to Doctrine” — “You Are Here” DNA Locating Service
If you can’t beat them – get behind them. How many Nazis disapproved of – and hated – Nazism? Is it a crime to want to survive?
Tens of millions today are hiding behind an unquestioning silence — hoping they’ll never hear that knock on their door.
“The World According to Doctrine” — Lovely Lansing Videogame: “No Services”
Urban Colonialism, like many colonial forms of government, has no place for the native population. Once their initial usefulness is ended – their troublesome existence is eliminated through a series of repressive and marginalizing policies.
Tompkins County’s rural communities are being rapidly destroyed by high taxes, no services, an unhealthy environment, and no representation – and in the County’s recent “vision for the future” — they don’t exist at all.
“The World According to Doctrine” — “Politicians always take the easy way”
When you don’t lead by example: it’s those whom you designate that clear the minefield. And when your power base is “quid pro quo” – your biggest risk is stopping the flow.
That’s why politicians see our welfare in a special way: Business as usual – instead of taking care of business.
“The World According to Doctrine” — Undercover Party II: “Flip the Switch”
You can smell the fear. It’s not just the fear of reprisals – it’s the fear of not getting a place in the life boat.
It’s a Doctrine so far above the law; that there is no law anymore. “Unaccountable, unapproachable, and unconcerned” describes the policy makers of our disposable society.
In a world that’s unraveling on all fronts: the pandemic, climate change, drugs, overpopulation, adolescent violence, emerging technologies – only those worthy will find a place in the “ark” — shortly before it’s sucked into a black hole near Geneva.
“The World According to Doctrine” — Bigoted Billboard: “There is no ‘us’”
They might as well put it on a billboard: Every policy is an affirmation of divisive and discriminatory power brokering – autocracy and acquisitiveness; cloaked in an “emperor’s new clothes” of fearful acquiescence.
Like most of today’s fraudulent policies: they’re sold on their mechanisms; not their results – convincing an uneasy public that they need to give over all their freedoms to protect themselves from oppression.
Then one day the policies disappear — and their freedoms along with them.
“The World According to Doctrine” — “If we can’t get together to combat it . . .”
Looking past the carefully quantitative scenarios of our weathered future – we can glimpse the plummeting quality of life it will bring.
When whole sections of the earth become too hot, too drought afflicted, and too far under water for human habitation: how will we share what’s left.
Post-apocalyptic movies depict a family doing anything to survive — what happens when it becomes a billion families?
Our hot, greasy pan will be sizzling — just sprinkle the water and watch it dance!
“The World According to Doctrine” — “It’s the second washing . . .”
We live in a profit-driven-policy world; where Doctrine has replaced cause and effect in political and social decision making. In order to validate and legitimize unequitable and unrealistic “using and taking” – Academics and bureaucrats are creating categories for each of us — scouring away our individual worth; and then erasing our memories by “washing” them with doctrinal studies and reimagined facts.
The ferment of their greed has wrecked our navigable society – and a fearful population crowds the shores in search of any salvageable fragments — until the unthinkable tsunami washes away everything.
“The World According to Doctrine” — “An extinction without a difference”
So what if we’re supposed to be intelligent – when we become as extinct as any dinosaur.
Maybe our technology will allow us to chronicle our demise; and preserve it and codify it so future extraterrestrials can learn about our civilization and its achievements – and how stupid we are were.
“The World According to Doctrine” — Martin Luther King Jr Mask
It’s always easiest to claim what people believe when they are no longer around to refute you.
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that. That old law about ‘an eye for an eye’ leaves everybody blind. Forgiveness is not an occasional act: it is an attitude.” — Martin Luther King Jr
If you would honor his life; then honor his beliefs – not the policies of those who make a mockery of his beliefs.
Being much more of a sinner; I sometimes imagine him coming back and not just speaking out – but “bitch-slapping” those who claim that goodness can only be achieved through doing evil.
“The time is always right to do what is right.”
