I do not adhere to any one teaching of any kind. I like to explore. It is good to get some different perspectives on life. |

| ASSAULT ON THE LIBERTY by James Ennes.
I've read this pretty frequently since first checking it out when the bookstore I worked at got a single copy back in 79 ... I spent several years trying to find a copy to own but it wasn't till around 86 or 87 that whatever the gov't had cooked up with book publishers to suppress finally lifted and I was able to get an updated paperback edition.
Regardless of where you stand on the politics of the matter (Israel attacking US spy ship in int'l waters with jets, gunboats, napalm), it is still a terrific sea story, and one I wish could be adapted to film, but again, politics would keep that from ever happening.
I used the chain of screwups on the US end of things -- messages rerouted to wrong continents, then messages addressed to the ship ordering it moved out of harm's way using a system the ship wasn't subscribed to -- as the basis for a STAR TREK script i wrote that actually got me in to pitch there back in 1990, so it wasn't all for naught. It's funny, it was the darkest of three scripts I sent the, and I thought they'd never go for it on that basis, since TNG was the 'everybody's evolved & perfect' trek. They turn down a hard SF story with a conscious black hole, but almost bit on a political paranoia story. Weird. |

| You should try reading Jung's Mysterium Coniunctionis. It's a real page-turner. |

But the fascism lies less in increasing authoritarianism, militarization, and surveillance than in the melding of federal government, corporations, academia, media and the entertainment industry. All of those entities are now ideologically aligned--pluralism no longer exists--and they work in concert to such an extent that they function as a whole. THAT is, to a significant degree, the essence of fascism. What Whitehead discusses are simply the tools the fascist Power Structure uses to impose its ideology upon its subjects. |

Most seem to be ok with the fascists getting more and more tools. |

A deep dive into some historical what-it-says. Lots and lots could be added in our days. Indeed. The Western world seems to live in a complex mass delusion generated by its elites. |
