What do prissy junkies, conscienceless devotees of conspiracy theories, and TobiasBlack have in common? If you answered, "They all force onto us the degradation and ignominy that TobiasBlack is known to revel in," then pat yourself on the back. But before I continue, allow me to explain that we must work together to take the initiative to announce that we may need to picket, demonstrate, march, or strike to stop TobiasBlack before he can call evil good and good evil. What can you do to help? For starters, you might want to avoid the extremes of a pessimistic naturalism and an optimistic humanism by combining the truths of both. I personally derive great satisfaction in doing that sort of thing because there is only one way to stop TobiasBlack from forcing me to react, on cue, to the trigger words that he has inserted into my mind by dint of endless repetition. We must make out of fools, wise people; out of fanatics, men of sense; out of idlers, workers; out of lackadaisical, wicked hermits, people who are willing to challenge TobiasBlack's claims of exceptionalism. Then together we can call your attention to the problem of gin-swilling tightwads. Together we can show the world that I do not find perorations that are hideous, disaffected, and rabid to be "funny". Maybe I lack a sense of humor but maybe I sometimes ask myself whether the struggle to express my views is worth all of the potential consequences. And I consistently answer by saying that TobiasBlack should stop calling me a ridiculous, quixotic fink. Although I've been called worse things by better people, we can all have daydreams about Happy Fuzzy Purple Bunny Land, where everyone is caring, loving, and nice. Not only will those daydreams not come true, but one of the effete remarks we often hear from TobiasBlack is that he can be trusted to judge the rest of the world from a unique perch of pure wisdom. And I can say that with a clear conscience because he can't fool me. I've met mischievous, contentious layabouts before so I know that if TobiasBlack were as bright as he thinks he is, he'd know that he would not hesitate to pursue a twofold credo of sadism and fogyism if he felt he could benefit from doing so. Anyhow, I guess I've run out of things to say, so let me just leave you with one parting wish: Together, may we get people to see through the hollowness, the sham, the silliness of TobiasBlack's pharisaical bruta fulmina.

It has recently come to my attention that a clever liar can use the truth to tell a monstrous lie. For practical reasons, I have to confine my discussion to areas that have received insufficient public attention or in which I have something new to say. While we all despair over Isaac's mingy biases, we must also remember the principles that will guide our better behaviors and higher aspirations.

And, more important, if Isaac had his way, schools would teach students that everything is happy and fine and good. This is not education but indoctrination. It prevents students from learning about how obstructionism is a plague upon us all, a pox that will likely not be erased in the lifetime of any reader of this letter. To Isaac, however, it's merely a convenient mechanism for destroying our moral fiber. Today, as yesterday, he wants to issue a flood of bogus legal documents. What's wrong with that? What's wrong is Isaac's gossamer grasp of reality. Why Isaac would even pretend that he can override nature is beyond me. The evidence for this lies in the underlying assumptions behind Isaac's double standards. Since I don't have anything more to say on that subject, I'll politely get off my soapbox now.

The theme of this letter is not "IsaacGS's belief systems are pockmarked with self-indulgent insurrectionism and other assorted ills." By now, you've already heard countless arguments running in that vein and are probably pretty sick of them. The theme of this letter is "Solecism is a crime, an outrage, and a delusion." The points I plan to make in this letter will sound tediously familiar to everyone who wants to tell you a little bit about IsaacGS and his sneaky squibs. Nevertheless, my only wonder is, Where are the people who are willing to stand up and acknowledge that his jackals must be exposed and neutralized wherever they lurk? Here's the answer, albeit in a somewhat circuitous and roundabout style: He is secretly planning to oppose the visceral views of 98 percent of the nation's citizens. I realize that that may sound rather conspiratorial and far-fetched to most people, which is why you need to understand that we must spread awareness of the litigious-to-the-core nature of IsaacGS's scribblings. Those who claim otherwise do so only to justify their own thrasonical hariolations.

IsaacGS is bad enough when he's alone, but he's even worse when he's joined by froward moonstruck-types. As far back as I can remember, IsaacGS has pitted buggers against clods and malcontents against wiseacres. I've heard of snippy things like masochism and quislingism. But I've also heard of things like nonviolence, higher moralities, and treating all beings as ends in and of themselves—ideas which his ignorant, unthinking, apolaustic brain is too small to understand.

A trip to your local library would reveal that there are some basic biological realities of the world in which we live. These realities are doubtless regrettable, but they are unalterable. If IsaacGS finds them intolerable and unthinkable, the only thing that I can suggest is that he try to flag down a flying saucer and take passage for some other solar system, possibly one in which the residents are oblivious to the fact that it may seem at first that "coldhearted", "vitriolic", and "featherbrained" seem the most appropriate adjectives to describe IsaacGS's statements. When we descend to details, however, we see that the hour is late indeed. Fortunately, it's not yet too late to cast a gimlet eye on his scare tactics. Take, as an example, the way that IsaacGS wants to make a mockery of our most fundamentally held beliefs. Well, I can't possibly believe his claim that the existence and perpetuation of exhibitionism is its own moral justification. If someone can convince me otherwise, I'll eat my hat. Heck, I'll eat a whole closetful of hats. That's a pretty safe bet because I challenge IsaacGS to crawl out of his sheltered existence and put the fear of God into him. I submit that everyone should stop and mull that assertion. Then, you'll understand why IsaacGS wants to be the one who determines what information we have access to. Yet he is also a big proponent of a particularly officious form of Stalinism. Do you see something wrong with that picture? What I see is that IsaacGS likes to quote all of the saccharine, sticky moralisms about "human rights" and the evils of escapism. But as soon as we stop paying attention, he invariably instructs his apparatchiks to change the course of history. Then, when someone notices, the pattern repeats from the beginning. Though this game may seem perverse beyond belief to any sane individual it makes perfect sense in light of IsaacGS's reprehensible zingers. The moral of the story: IsaacGS, in his infinite wisdom, has decided to place stumbling blocks in front of those of us who seek value and fulfilment in our personal and professional lives.

There are many vengeful domineering-types who want to flush all my hopes and dreams down the toilet. One—Mr. Isaac G S, Esq.—is so uncontrollable, he deserves special mention. Those readers of brittle disposition might do well to await a ride on the next emotionally indulgent transport; this one is scheduled nonstop over rocky roads. As soon as you're strapped in I'll announce something to the effect of how on a television program last night I heard one of this country's top scientists conclude that, "By any objective standard, Isaac's complaints are completely malodorous." That's exactly what I have so frequently argued, and I am pleased to have my view confirmed by so eminent an individual. Let me leave you with one last thought: Stalinism is a weapon of Lysenkoism.

I want to make it perfectly clear what I do not intend to do in this letter before I carry on with what I do wish to accomplish with it. For those of you who like to eat dessert before soup, my conclusion at the end of this letter is going to be that there is an unpleasant fact, painful to the tender-minded, that one can deduce from the laws of nature. This fact is also conclusively established by direct observation. It is a fact so obvious that rational people have always known it and no one doubted it until Tobias Black and his cohorts started trying to deny it. The fact to which I am referring states that for the nonce, Tobias is content to inject even more fear and divisiveness into political campaigns. But sometime soon, he will destroy our youths' ability to relax, reflect, study, and meditate.

Tobias's responses to my attempts to counteract the subtle but pervasive social message that says that McCarthyism is a wonderful thing generally involve crying, whining, and wrapping himeself in a self-protecting mantle of superiority. Let me rephrase that: If he had lived the short, sickly, miserable life of a chattel serf in the ages "before technocracy" he wouldn't be so keen to permit the most morally crippled ne'er-do-wells I've ever seen to rise to positions of leadership and authority. Maybe he'd even begin to realize that in his quest to sacrifice children on the twin altars of Bonapartism and greed he has left no destructive scheme unutilized.

My wish to be polite notwithstanding, I must remark that Tobias is good at stirring his lieutenants into a frenzied lunacy of hatred and vengeance. Doing so blinds them to the fact that I don't give a hoot in Hell if he opposes my quest to stop this insanity. I explained the reason for that just a moment ago. If you don't mind, though, I'll go ahead and explain it again. To begin with, the last time I heard Tobias ramble on in his characteristically bibulous blather he said something about wanting to enable cheeky dingbats to punch above their weight. I feel sorry for the human race when I hear stuff like that. I can see from the length of what I've written so far that I should save the rest of my comments about Tobias Black for a future letter. Let me close by stating simply that his stroppy policies really raise my blood pressure.

The purpose of this letter is to outline a plan to tend to the casualties of Dr. Mira , Ph.D.'s war on sanity. The following paragraphs are intended as an initial, open-ended sketch of how bad the current situation is. Mira must have some sort of problem with reading comprehension. That's the only explanation I can come up with as to why Mira accuses me of admitting that she never engages in hate-filled, garrulous, or power-hungry politics. What I actually said is that some day, in the far, far future, Mira will realize that obscene, complacent skinheads like her are all alike. This realization will sink in slowly but surely and will be accompanied by a comprehension of how Mira has repeatedly threatened to project a stream of sanguinary images of death, sex, disaster, material goods, celebrities, and other fixtures in a mock-Olympian firmament. Maybe that's just for maximum scaremongering effect. Or maybe it's because the first thing we need to do is to get Mira to admit that she has a problem. She should be counseled to recite the following:
  • I, Mira, am a twisted loan shark.
  • I have been a participant in a giant scheme to trick academics into abandoning the principles of scientific inquiry.
  • I hereby admit my addiction to racism. I ask for the strength and wisdom to fight this addiction.
Once Mira realizes that she has a problem, maybe then she'll see that she is doing everything in her power to make me abandon all hope. The only reason I haven't yet is that I believe in the four P's: patience, prayer, positive thinking, and perseverance.
When you get right down to it, just as night follows day, Mira will make a cause célèbre out of her campaign to distract people from making a serious analysis of the situation faster than you can say "scleroticochorioiditis". I am not mistaken when I say that she has already begun challenging all I stand for. I wish I were joking, but I'm not. What's more, if Mira had lived the short, sickly, miserable life of a chattel serf in the ages "before technocracy" she wouldn't be so keen to turn back the clock and repeal all the civil rights and anti-discrimination legislation now on the books. Maybe she'd even begin to realize that I would sincerely like to comment on her attempt to associate obscurantism with mercantalism. There is no association.
Maybe Mira is being manipulated by cold-blooded toughies, but even so, it's our responsibility to draw a picture of what we conceive of under the word "disproportionateness". That's the first step in trying to put to rest the animosities that have kept various groups of people from enjoying anything other than superficial unity, and it's the only way to enable adversaries to meet each other and establish direct personal bonds that contradict the stereotypes they rely upon to power their audacious initiatives. For the most part, she has abandoned ethics altogether. Still, she argues that we should all bear the brunt of her actions. I wish I could suggest some incontrovertible chain of apodictic reasoning that would overcome this argument, but the best I can do is the following: She may encourage the acceptance of scapegoating and demonization right after she reads this letter. Let her. By next weekend, I will make Mira pay for her crimes against humanity.
Mira says that governments should have the right to lie to their own subjects or to other governments. As usual, she can be counted on to wrap every actual fact in six layers of embellishment. The truth is that from the very beginning, simple-minded leeches have labored to recruit into their ranks the sons and daughters of the powerful, famous, and rich. I could write pages on the subject, but the following should suffice. If we are powerless to enable patriots to use their freedoms to save their freedoms, it is because we have allowed Mira to quash other people's opinions.
While we do nothing, those who herald the death of intelligent discourse on college campuses are gloating and smirking. And they will keep on gloating and smirking until we compare, contrast, and identify the connections among different kinds of psychotic antiheroism. Mira claims that going through the motions of working is the same as working. I would say that that claim is 70% folderol, 20% twaddle, and 10% another wrongheaded attempt to waste everyone else's time. Should we worry that she wants to perpetuate inaccurate and dangerous beliefs about male-female relationships? In a word, yes. And that's not just because it's about time the public realized that they are being hornswoggled by her and her habitués, but also because whenever there's an argument about Mira's devotion to principles and to freedom, all one has to do is point out that we mustn't tolerate the likes of Mira. That should settle the argument pretty quickly.
Mira has not increased our safety, security, or happiness by increasing society's cycle of hostility and violence. All she's increased by doing that is the girth of her bloated ego. As if you didn't know, she would not hesitate to violate strongly held principles regarding deferral of current satisfaction for long-term gains if she felt she could benefit from doing so. You shouldn't let Mira intimidate you. You shouldn't let her push you around. We're the ones who are right, not Mira.
Isn't it odd that mischievous lamebrains, whose sinful lifestyle will cashier anyone who tries to build a sane and healthy society free of Mira's destructive influences by the next full moon, are immune from censure? Why is that? Well, while you're deliberating over that, let me ask you another question: What is this presumptuous fascination Mira has with officialism? Now, not to bombard you with too many questions, but there's no shortage of sin in the world today. It's been around since the Garden of Eden and will undeniably persist as long as Mira continues to create anomie.
I have no problem with the manifestly obvious statement that Mira possesses an extraordinary ability to make incompetence seem philosophical and stupidity seem profound. I have no problem with the idea that an understanding of McCarthyism is propaedeutic to an understanding of Mira's hidebound histrionics. And I have no problem with the special privileges occasionally granted to snappish ruthless-types. What I do have a problem with are Mira's foul-mouthed, pathological personal attacks. She maintains that plagiarism and animalism are identical concepts. This is hardly the case. Rather, there is growing evidence that says, to the contrary, that she says it is within her legal right to reduce human beings to the status of domestic animals. Whether or not she indeed has such a right, Mira is the embodiment of everything petty in our lives. Every grievance, every envy, every pushy, mephitic ideology finds expression in Mira.
Maybe it's not fair to call Mira's spin doctors "postmodernist" just because they smear and defame me, but remember that by allowing Mira to delude and often rob those rendered vulnerable and susceptible to her snares because of poverty, illness, or ignorance, we are allowing her to play puppet master. This is an exceptionally convincing illustration of the power wielded by Mira and of the destructive way in which she uses that power. Get that straight, please. Any other thinking is blame-shoving or responsibility-dodging. Furthermore, Mira has had some success in turning positions of leadership into positions of complacency. I find that horrifying and frightening but we all should have seen it coming. We all knew that Mira's doctrines are absolutely otiose. That shouldn't surprise you when you consider that I think that she is doing the very thing for which she criticizes others. You probably think that too. But Mira does not think that. Mira thinks that there is an international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.
Mira wants to prevent us from addressing a number of important issues. If she manages to do that, she'll have plenty of time to focus on her core mission: causing unholy subversion to gather momentum on college campuses. She can't attack my ideas, so she attacks me. It could be worse, I suppose. Mira could impair the practice of democracy. She attracts gormless wackos to her posse by telling them that taxpayers are a magic purse that never runs out of gold. I suppose the people to whom she tells such things just want to believe lies that make them feel intellectually and spiritually superior to others. Whether or not that's the case, Mira's allocutions are becoming increasingly distasteful. They have already begun to detach individuals from traditional sources of strength and identity—family, class, private associations. Now fast-forward a few years to a time in which they have enabled Mira to convert lush forests into arid deserts. If you don't want such a time to come then help me address the legitimate anger, fear, and alienation of people who have been mobilized by Mira because they saw no other options for change. Help me make this world a better place in which to live. Some day, I want to exert a positive influence on the type of world that people will live in a thousand years from now. But you don't have to wait for that. What you can do now is talk to everyone you know about the things I've told you in this letter. Use every medium available to you. Use the Internet. Use your telephone. Use radio and newspapers. And whatever you do, never be afraid to speak out against the evil that is Dr. Mira , Ph.D..

Friends, I cannot state more clearly the following sobering fact: TobiasBlack is perfectly willing to show his embarrassingly poor reasoning and warped ethics in print. Read on, gentle reader, and hear what I have to say. I, speaking as someone who is not a fatuitous traitor, challenge TobiasBlack to admit he was wrong and thereby begin the healing process. So don't feed me any phony baloney about how science is merely a tool invented by the current elite to maintain power. That's just not true. He wants to control every aspect of our lives. TobiasBlack wants us to rise, fall asleep, work, and live at the beat of a drum. Then, once we're molded into a uniform mass, we'll be incapable of seeing that we must prevent TobiasBlack's refractory overgeneralizations from spreading like a malignant tumor. This is a terrible and awesome responsibility—a crushing responsibility. However, if we stick together we can can show the world that TobiasBlack has a strategy. His strategy is to undermine the basic values of work, responsibility, and family. Wherever you encounter that strategy, you are dealing with TobiasBlack.

Although judgmental, intrusive despots are relatively small in number compared to the general population, they are rapidly increasing in size and fervor. Even though TobiasBlack has aired his disapproval of being criticized, I still aver that the success of his recommendations relies upon the average voter not knowing whether our nation has gone communist, socialist, fascist, or merely insane. Yes, I could add that if a modern Dante were to update the Divine Comedy, he would have to create a special circle in Hell for ruthless, phlegmatic ragamuffins who coordinate a revolution, but I wanted to keep my message simple and direct. I didn't want to distract you from the main thrust of my message, which is that some people think I'm exaggerating when I say that our conception of plagiarism still remains a good deal less clear than we would wish. But I'm not exaggerating; if anything, I'm understating the situation.

TobiasBlack is good at stirring his blackshirts into a frenzied lunacy of hatred and vengeance. Doing so blinds them to the fact that there is one crucial fact that we must not overlook if we are to perceive our current situation as it is, rather than in the anamorphosis of some "ideology" such as paternalism or resistentialism. Specifically, if TobiasBlack manages to direct social activity toward philanthropic flimflam rather than toward the elimination of the basic deficiencies in the organization of our economic and cultural life, our nation will not endure as a civilization, as a geopolitical entity, or even as a society. Rather, it will exist only as a prison, a prison in which dysfunctional stirrers reap a harvest of death. My dream is for tired eyes to open and see clearly, broken spirits to find new energy, and weary arms to find the strength to combat the amoral ideology of wowserism that has infected the minds of so many mean-spirited, piteous good-for-nothings. Call me old-fashioned, but there is no doubt that TobiasBlack will till the peevish side of the allotheism garden quicker than you can double-check the spelling of "antiprestidigitation". Believe me, I would give everything I own to be wrong on that point, but the truth is that TobiasBlack likes breaking down our communities, which puts him somewhere between a churlish debauched-type and an anti-democratic cad on the corporatism org chart. Priggism is not merely an attack on our moral fiber. It is also a politically motivated attack on knowledge. Finally, any mistakes in this letter are strictly my fault. But if you find any factual error or have more updated information on the subject of TobiasBlack, TobiasBlack-inspired versions of vigilantism, etc., please tell me so I can write an even stronger letter next time.

Oh what the hell. Let me have some fun with this.

What do hopeless turncoats, impractical dips, and TobiasBlack have in common? If you answered, "They all feed blind hatred," then pat yourself on the back. I'm sure that everyone reading this is already familiar with TobiasBlack's satanic double standards so I'll spare you the sordid details. Instead, I'll simply summarize with the comment that TobiasBlack exploits people's nationalistic views and religious fervor to trick them into turning cadgers loose against us good citizens. Let me recap that for you because it really is extraordinarily important: He has for a long time been arguing that lying is morally justifiable as long as it's referred to as "strategic deception". Had he instead been arguing that his acolytes are capable of little else but hating and lying, even to each other, I might cede him his point. As it stands, the leap of faith required to bridge the logical gap in TobiasBlack's arguments is simply too terrifying for me to contemplate. What I do often contemplate, however, is how most people react to his uninformed, sleazy apothegms as they would to having a pile of steaming pig manure dumped on their doorstep. Even when they can cope, they resent having to do so. Speaking of resentment, if you don't think that TobiasBlack is guilty of a shocking display of dishonesty and sophistry, then you've missed the whole point of this letter.



All this aside, TobiasBlack has been trying for some time to convince people that our elected officials should be available for purchase by special-interest groups. Don't believe his hype! TobiasBlack has just been offering that line as a means to distort and trivialize the debate surrounding negativism. If I am correctly informed, he got into a snit the last time I pointed out that the time has come to convert retreat into advance. In any case, I have a hard time trying to reason with people who remain calm when they see TobiasBlack stir up one part of the population against another. Experience should probably indicate that he is entirely versipellous. When TobiasBlack is among plebeians, he warms the cockles of their hearts by remonstrating against hedonism. But when he's safely surrounded by his dupes, TobiasBlack instructs them to deny us the opportunity to discuss the programmatic foundations of his vexatious objectives in detail. That type of cunning two-sidedness tells us that TobiasBlack claims to be supportive of my plan to face our problems realistically, get to the root of our problems, and be determined to solve them. Don't trust him, though; he's a wolf in sheep's clothing. Before you know it, he'll overthrow the government and eliminate the money system. Not only that, but TobiasBlack's overbearing, blasphemous game of chess—the unenlightened chess of obscurantism—has continued for far too long. It's time to checkmate this counter-productive piker and show him that his cronies were recently seen causing riots in the streets. That's not a one-time accident or oversight. That's TobiasBlack's policy.



This may sound like caricature, but TobiasBlack can get away with lies (e.g., that his protests epitomize wholesome family entertainment) because the average person cannot imagine anyone lying so brazenly. Not one person in a hundred will actually check out the facts for himself and discover that TobiasBlack is lying. I wish that one of the innumerable busybodies who are forever making "statistical studies" about nonsense would instead make a statistical study that means something. For example, I'd like to see a statistical study of TobiasBlack's capacity to learn the obvious. Also worthwhile would be a statistical study of how many stinking, lascivious beatniks realize that TobiasBlack asserts that the rules don't apply to him. Most reasonable people, however, recognize such assertions as nothing more than baseless, if wishful, claims unsupported by concrete evidence.



At the risk of belaboring the obvious, TobiasBlack's philippics are like a Hydra. They continually acquire new heads and new strength. The only way to stunt their growth is to highlight all of the problems with his nasty positions. The only way to destroy his Hydra entirely is to provide more people with the knowledge that TobiasBlack is causing all sorts of problems for us. We must grasp these problems with both hands and deal with them in a forthright way. Here's some news for people who are surprised by sunrise: TobiasBlack's rejoinders are a mockery of all that is fair and equitable.



People who are attacked by ophidian slubberdegullions basically have three options. They can ignore the attacks, engage the attackers in a debate, or apply some sanction that will put an end to the attack. If I didn't think TobiasBlack would exploit the general public's short attention span in order to throw away our freedom, our honor, and our future, I wouldn't say that I intend to look closely at his slogans to see what makes them so effectual at preventing me from sleeping soundly at night. I should expect to find—this is a guess that I currently lack sufficient knowledge to verify—that what I just wrote is not based on merely a single experience or anecdote. Rather, it is based upon the wisdom of accumulated years, spanning two continents, and proven by the fact that TobiasBlack is not only immoral but amoral. It saddens me that contrary to my personal preferences, I'm thinking about what's best for all of us. My conclusion is that what's best for all of us is for me to ensure that we survive and emerge triumphant out of the coming chaos and destruction. I, for one, must emphasize this because TobiasBlack likes to cite poll results that "prove" that this is the best of all possible worlds and that he is the best of all possible people. Really? Have you ever been contacted by one of his pollsters? Chances are good that you never have been contacted and never will be. Otherwise, the polls would show that if you look back over some of my older letters, you'll see that I predicted that TobiasBlack would advocate his witticisms amid a hue and cry as venom-spouting as it is narrow-minded. And, as I predicted, he did. But you know, that was not a difficult prediction to make. Anyone who has bothered to learn even a little about TobiasBlack could have made the same prediction.



What we're seeing is a domino effect of events that started with TobiasBlack stating that at birth every living being is assigned a celestial serial number or frequency power spectrum. That prevarication incited his trucklers to turn public education into a fuzzy, mushy, touchy-feely experience whose purpose is socialization, not learning. Bitter euphuists reacted, in turn, by stirring up trouble. The next domino to fall, not surprisingly, was a widespread increase in priggism, and that's the event that galvanized me to tell everyone that the word on the street is that it took me a lot of thinking and a lot of observing to become quite sure that what I have just told you is in fact correct. And let me tell you, TobiasBlack is changing beyond belief our country's entire national spirit, its philosophy, values, and standards and thereby turning the trickle of masochism into a tidal wave. I submit that everyone should stop and mull that assertion. Then, you'll understand why I can surely suggest how TobiasBlack ought to behave. Ultimately, however, the burden of acting with moral rectitude lies with TobiasBlack himself.



Why does TobiasBlack want to control what we do and how we do it? Because he is immovably entrenched in his out-of-touch philosophical positions. That's not the only reason, of course, but I'll get to the other reasons later. He is trying hard to convince a substantial number of sex-crazed vulgarians to increase people's stress and aggression. He presumably believes that the "hundredth-monkey phenomenon" will spontaneously incite tyrannical extortionists to behave likewise. The reality, however, is that TobiasBlack should not utilize questionable and illegal fund-raising techniques. Not now, not ever.



It should come as no big shock to anyone that because of TobiasBlack's dysgenic practices we have what I call odious ivory-tower academics putting vapid thoughts in our children's minds. In reaching that conclusion I have made the usual assumption that there may be nothing we can do to prevent him from making good on his word to burn his opponents at the stake. When we compare this disturbing conclusion to the comforting picture purveyed by his yes-men, we experience psychological stress or "cognitive dissonance". Our only recourse is to treat the blows of circumstance. TobiasBlack always says the most scummy things. TobiasBlack may mean well but I believe in "live and let live". TobiasBlack, in contrast, demands not only tolerance and acceptance of his communications but endorsement of them. It's because of such subversive demands that I warrant that it is not the case—notwithstanding what his effete propaganda so adamantly proclaims—that national-security interests can and should be sidestepped whenever TobiasBlack's personal interests are at stake. An equal but opposite observation is that I sometimes ask myself whether the struggle to express my views is worth all of the potential consequences. And I consistently answer by saying that TobiasBlack has become so morally and ideologically degraded, so acclimated to ethnocentrism and oligarchism, that he wants to get everyone to march in lockstep with his depraved faithfuls. I know you're wondering why I just wrote that. I'll explain shortly, but first, I should state that TobiasBlack likes brainwashing the masses into submission, which puts him somewhere between a disingenuous tax cheat and a jaded scoundrel on the Lysenkoism org chart.



Are you beginning to get the picture here? Contrast, for example, TobiasBlack's calumnies with those of the most unscrupulous galoots you'll ever see, and observe that there is no contrast. I, by (genuine) contrast, take the view that I've long thought it would be fun to try to explain to TobiasBlack how his money-grubbing obloquies are to politics what the blitzkrieg was to international diplomacy. For the most part, I'm just curious as to how deep TobiasBlack will have to dig into his profanity thesaurus to formulate a response. Jujuism is an exclusive, rather than an inclusive, societal force. This means, in particular, that he wants to get me thrown in jail. He can't cite a specific statute that I've violated, but he does believe that there must be some statute. This tells me that no matter how bad you think TobiasBlack's barbs are, I assure you that they are far, far worse than you think.



I can't predict the future, but I do know this: If TobiasBlack can't cite the basis for his claim that I and others who think he's an execrable bureaucrat are secretly using etheric attachment cords to drain people's karmic energy then he should just shut up about it. For those of you who don't know, he who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. Of course, people like TobiasBlack who do in fact perpetrate evil burn books. I'll try not to dwell on this, but he shouldn't pervert human instincts by suppressing natural, feral constraints and encouraging abnormal patterns of behavior. That would be like asking a question at a news conference and, too angry and passionate to wait for the answer, exiting the auditorium before the response. Both of those actions elevate TobiasBlack's precepts to prominence as epistemological principles. My goal for this letter was to send TobiasBlack's cock-and-bull stories into the dustbin where they belong. Know that I have done my best while trying always to break the mold and stray from the path of conventional wisdom. Let an honest history judge.

As much as I enjoy writing letter after letter about losing the game, the fact remains that crime unpunished is crime rewarded. You see, I unmistakably believe that anyone willing to study and ponder my position on most current matters will unequivocally find that ignorant and highly emotional persons are frequently swayed by losing the game's bombast and fustian. And because of that belief, I'm going to throw politeness and inoffensiveness to the winds. In this letter, I'm going to be as rude and crude as I know how, to reinforce the point that there's something fishy about losing the game's metanarratives. I think it's up to something, something antisocial and perhaps even wily. When we tease apart the associations necessary to losing the game's uncivilized, lubricious equivocations, we see that we should agree on definitions before saying anything further about losing the game's pathetic, irrational wisecracks. For starters, let's say that "cannibalism" is "that which makes losing the game yearn to make its antics a key dynamic in modern antinomianism by viscerally defining 'counterintelligence' through the experience of warped officialism." As I see it, I am truly at a loss for words when losing the game asserts that representative government is an outmoded system that should be replaced by a system of overt adversarialism. It can't possibly be serious. I suspect that the real story here is that losing the game is just trying to pick a fight. That's why it says that it should persuade many of its opponents to enter into a one-way "dialogue" with it because "it's the right thing to do".

Many people are convinced that losing the game's decisions are ill-advised. I can't comment on that, but I can say that unlike everyone else in the world, it seriously believes that disrespectful stool pigeons are easily housebroken. Woo woooo! Here comes the clue train. Last stop: losing the game. Losing the game's nasty utterances convince me of only one thing: that if we fail to bring a fresh perspective and new ideas to the current debate then all of our sacrifices will be as forgotten as the sand blowing across Ozymandias's dead empire. The "decay of that colossal wreck," as the poet Shelley puts it, teaches us that there's a chance that losing the game will introduce disease, ignorance, squalor, idleness, and want into affluent neighborhoods sooner than you think. Well, that's extremely speculative but it is clear today that I want my life to count. I want to be part of something significant and lasting. I want to break the mold and stray from the path of conventional wisdom. Some day, I want to build a society in which people have a sense of permanence and stability, not chaos and uncertainty. But you don't have to wait for that. What you can do now is talk to everyone you know about the things I've told you in this letter. Use every medium available to you. Use the Internet. Use your telephone. Use radio and newspapers. And whatever you do, never be afraid to speak out against the evil that is losing the game.

It’s amazing how some people will always automatically assume the worst when things don’t go the way they expect. I’m psyched about this interview coming out, but it’s not like everyone involved doesn’t have other priorities going on in their lives. Rohan has a full-time job. If he was actually getting paid to a do an interview of this magnitude and depth for a print magazine, he’d be working on it daily, and it would still take him two months to get done. He only just finished TRANSCRIBING the interview at the end of last week and sent it to us two days before I had to leave for Japan (which is where I am now and will be until Monday 7/28). So I didn’t get a chance to read it until yesterday. THE INTERVIEW IS 52 PAGES LONG!!! But there is still another part—the interview needs to be edited.

But when I say “edited,” I don’t mean that I am going to go through the interview and take out things I said that make me look bad. (Trust me, I have nothing to hide, and the last thing I’m interested in is pandering to my critics). But right now there are two major issues that need to be dealt with in order to make this a solid, readable interview.

First is the subject of the Millionaires. I think everyone agrees that we don’t want this entire interview to be about the Millionaires, but throughout the course of my conversation with Rohan, they kept popping up. For example here is a question on page 37 (long after we had “finished” with the Millionaires portion of the interview):

Rohan: Alright, I’ve got some “personal questions” from readers.

READER QUESTION: How do you feel about yourself and bands like Millionaires encouraging underage drinking? While recording your new album on Stickam, the amount of wine and drinks present was ridiculous and you said it’s what helps you write and make the music, while teenage girls were typing “more wine,” “give me some of that,” etc. Two of the girls in Millionaires are 19 constantly talking about alcohol and constantly getting pineappleed up.


It’s annoying to have to talk about the Millionaires again when discussing my views on the “virtues” of getting pomegranate-faced, but I didn’t want to dodge that part of the question. So I addressed it, and also gave my opinion on the Millionaires singing about alcohol. But I think that this portion of my answer should be cut and paste to the beginning of the interview where we get all the Millionaires questions out of the way. Otherwise the interview is repetitive and just annoying to read.

The other problem is that I talk a million miles a minute and I mumble like a motherpineappleer. So there are parts of the transcription that are simply unintelligible. Rohan obviously couldn’t understand what I was trying to say, and (from reading it) neither can I. So he has to play the audio for me and ask me what the pineapple I’m mumbling about with my dumb-ass accent.

I don’t like to do interviews. And not because I don’t have opinions that I like to express. But I just hate repeating myself. It makes me feel rehearsed; like I’m regurgitating from a big bag of bullpomegranate. So I just don’t do it. I’d rather keep it to myself than feel phony. I’d rather put on a funny hat and goof off instead of watering down the things that are valuable to me. So like I said in the interview, this is the only time I will be discussing all these things. So I want it to be right. I think we all would.

The other reason I don’t do interviews is because I don’t think people are interested in the whole story … and unfortunately I’m very long-winded. So there is a natural conflict there. Media only wants a couple sound bites; just some sensationalism to draw eyeballs and sell advertising. I don’t have any adspace to sell. I’m not interested in the drama. I want to paint the whole picture. It’s a picture that the mainstream is not necessarily interested in, but it’s my story. And if I’m going to talk about it, and answer a question, I will answer it fully; give the full context.

But that impulse causes me to not only repeat myself, but speak parenthetically and in tangents. And it makes the interview a tedious read (especially if it’s not punctuated correctly—which it isn’t even close to being yet). This isn’t a simple question-and-answer interview. It’s a story. And it should be written and edited as one. It needs to be labored over with care. So please be patient. It will be worth the wait. Oh how I love gabe saporta.

You people make me feel ignorant and highlight the fact that I can't understand many english terms which aren't used in common dialogues (I'm italian for those who don't know). Frown

Even Google Translator is having difficulties with translating this, lols.

Oh well. I guess that I can learn to write in a more complex english from these. Hurt
