David versus Goliath

In Current affairs and the economy on January 6, 2009 at 8:14 am

Israel has again taken on the might of the global mass media.

Having refrained from retaliating against the rockets fired into Israeli territory while Islam worship continued to intensify in media hype throughout the US presidential elections, Israel now has need to restore some measure of security against the popularity generated around the globe for Hamas by Israel’s most dangerous enemies. Moreover, should Hezbollah agree wholeheartedly with Hamas in every particular, Israel’s protests regarding Hamas’s radical status would fall on deaf ears.

In a world sold on the legitimacy of criminality, the solitary custodian of law and order has been isolated for special persecution. The Christian world believes that Israel was wrong to require justice for its highly disciplined society, since others, including Palestine, Africa, and Bangladesh, require the Grace of God to help them survive. However, the Christian world will not recover its former strategic initiative in relation to the other global powers unless it learns from Israel how to govern itself. The Christian West has been persuaded by its own media that the view championed by its enemies is ethically correct and that therefore the tenets and canons of its own position constitute an unethical view. As a result, it finds itself in a more precarious position than any encountered since the Industrial Revolution.

The Christian West is being elbowed out of contention in the jockeying for pole position at the crucial final phase of globalization. The USA hopes to elevate damage-control to a high art with regard to the painful hangover caused by the 1990s credit binge, under the pressure of which America lolls about like a drunken sailor before an unbendingly pious world community. Having believed that military superiority would secure overall strategic advantage in the race for supremacy, the USA now cringes under stricture where a messiah has been elected to bring ‘hope’ and ‘change’ to its culture, thus rendering its vaunted military apparatus grotesquely impotent.

Because it has permitted the power of reason to be subordinated to the emotional indulgences characteristic of religious fundamentalism, capitalist opportunism, political oppression, and cultural permissiveness, the Christian West is being defeated by the oldest trick in the book: the enemy has neutralized its strength by successfully encouraging the corruption of its morals.

Or, more precisely, because the West trusted its own media, the controllers of which have been neither elected nor mandated to defend that which is good and right, and because it permitted those media to revile the finest strengths of its culture and to champion the lacks and excesses of its opposition, Christianity, having sued to be awarded the moral high ground, was defeated in its own court on the basis of anti-Christian criteria, and, without proper debate, the moral high ground was awarded to the defendant.

Please excuse Israel if it became impervious to defeat by such means after surviving the holocaust.

In terms of the historical development that I postulated over the past six years, two elements were set in opposition: a need for the liberalization of the law through matriarchal qualities, and a need to reform the harsh patriarchal qualities of stoicism. The enemy has won the battle for the moral high ground on both scores: through societal dictates whose mentally ill nature is perhaps most conspicuously reflected in television soap opera, it negated the advantage that Christianity has enjoyed as a result of Catholic tolerance in the battle of the sexes, and irrationally allocated that advantage to misogynist Islam. And the American and British media have turned the spirit characterized by Western valour and pugnacity into a deplorable totalitarianism for which the West must apologize to its victorious competition.

Ultimately the crushing defeat is to be credited to an inability to distinguish between rule of law and criminality – the vice against which, among all the nations of the world, Israel alone remains sovereign. Israel owes that sovereignty to the unambiguous approach that it adopted to law and order when it expurgated the tendentious lucubrations of the Prophets from its scriptures, and retained the Law for special observation, more than two thousand years ago – the quality that enabled it to accomplish the advent of recorded history, and thus to sustain the process of civilization – an approach without which all hope of prevailing against barbarism would be entirely unnecessary.

Now that the last barrier has been removed between the world and the Devil, since Israel is delivered into the hands of its enemies by those who borrowed their concepts of God and of the Law from it – the keep is in instant peril – any hope that its defences will prevail seems founded on shifting sands.

In my opinion, as a special observer tasked with defending the view automatically abjured by the global mass media, as if that view has never existed, and with criticizing the one championed by them as representing the moral high ground – the line separating the domain of organized religion from that of criminality has been erased – and the moral victory has been given to the undeserving side, for the purpose of having the unidentified, unelected, unmandated, and unaccountable referee profit yet more handsomely from proceeds of lawlessness at the expense of the vast majority of the world’s peoples. The policeman has been knocked out on his beat and the shop is standing open for the robber to do with as he pleases.

I do not believe the Christian Church to be insensible to the argument submitted here and elsewhere in my writing. I believe that those in control of the international security services have sought from the beginning to prevent efficient information regarding the matter from reaching the key managers of the process, including the custodians of Christianity. I believe that the war was won through malignant management techniques, not superior ethics. I believe that the ethical criteria championed by the mass media will fail to deliver on their promises, and that the world will fail to hold to account those responsible for the resultant effects of a cataclysmic destruction of Western culture. I believe that immense, unexampled suffering will result from the removal of the strong defences of civilization from the world order now inaugurated under the banner of liberal democracy. And I believe that the human heart will never more be addressed at the fundamental level as a matter of public record, as has been the case until now, for the spirit of Christianity will be overwhelmed by barbarism and criminality.

However, I continue to derive consolation from the Western spirit, for example from two stories told in The 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader, by John C. Maxwell. The first is found on page 87:

‘General Billy Mitchell, a career army officer, was assigned to an aviation section in 1916. That is where he learned to fly, and it became the passion of his life. Though aircraft played a minor role in World War I, he could see the military potential of air power. After the war, he began a campaign to convince the military to create an air force. He provided demonstration after demonstration of what airplanes could do, but met strong resistance. Frustrated, he forced the army to court-martial him in 1925. A year later he resigned. Only after World War II was Mitchell exonerated – and posthumously awarded the Medal of Honour. He was willing to pay any price to do what he knew was right. How about you?’

The second story concerns the famous Alamo, the battle in which all the American soldiers involved died for the cause of regaining Texas from the occupying Mexican army – a cause for which a man named James Bonham rode back to his comrades after having been sent to obtain help, to stand, fight, and die with them, giving currency to the rallying cry: ‘Remember the Alamo!”

Given the immense responsibility that I assumed on grounds of the broad perspective of global affairs granted me, whether I was correct or not in assuming that responsibility, I should hardly have proved so myopic as to insist on some abstract ethical principle as an end in itself, wishing to feel morally superior to other observers. I felt certain that the entire war for the heart and soul of the human race converged on the necessity to obtain clarity on the line of demarcation between crime and justice. Having seen the potential damage that would result from insisting that the Christian Church reverse or even change its basic articles of faith, I suggested merely that it continue as before, except that it require of its adherents to refrain from becoming involved in crime of any kind, and to speak out against all instances of criminal abuse in all walks of life. Since no urgency was experienced at a level visible to me from monitoring the daily news, I must infer that no argument was put across to those who needed to hear it, or at least not without substantial interference from the enemy – and that, as a result, the USA was robbed of an opportunity to take a stand against crime on the basis of a clear definition – and that America is now being lost due to a political correctness of which neither the true origins nor the ultimate beneficiaries are known.

However, very grave threats may presently confront the world in the form of noxious activities by elements that can be controlled through military superiority alone – elements of which the Mumbai terror bombs have supplied an early reminder.

Perhaps the best answer to that threat will be to bring a man such as General Colen Powell to power, to protect him against all media abuse by replying with a vast preponderance of media violence to all insinuations and criticisms deriving from the enemy position, and to manage his task, namely to restore the USA’s position in the Middle East to its former strength, in a manner by which all the matters that were left to chance during the tenure of a talented war president, George W. Bush, be managed with great deliberateness and purpose, thus to ensure that ground lost wherever the enemy lay in ambush, having anticipated President Bush’s moves, sabotaged them, and cold-bloodedly blamed him for the resultant failure, be regained in no uncertain terms.

The degree to which such a strategy could be possible may depend on how grave the threat against the United State’s national security will become during the tenure of a messiah president mandated to do all things in a way that would elicit the approval of America’s enemies. Should matters rapidly deteriorate to where Americans grumble that the need for security has replaced ‘hope and change’ as the pre-eminent burning issue, it could be possible to secure the mandate for General Powell.

However, one thing is certain: nothing will prevail unless a fundamental, comprehensive media war against America’s enemies be planned, launched, waged, and won – quite regardless of all other concerns, whether of a military, economic, or any other nature.

No better place to start will be found than to address the otherworldly societal conceptions, dysfunctional family structures, and apologies for graft, vice, and cowardice characterising the standard fare of American soap opera, and to replace them with something securely based on the great tradition of Anglo-Saxon literature.

I have several times in the past taken it upon myself to invidiously criticise one of the greatest geniuses of all time: Walt Disney. Here I wish to settle the matter by at last getting to the fundamental point.

The supreme genius of Walt Disney could have been applied to create an art form rooted in the impressive Western tradition. The Dance, the Opera, the Novel, and Formal Fine Art could have supplied great inspiration for many artists / film makers, free from the absurdities of the circus, vaudeville, and stand-up comics. Profound literary intuitions could have been developed; a communications idiom of great educational power could have emerged from such an approach. Instead, children were targeted in an exclusively comical art form wholly devoid of traditional content, and thus liable to proclivities of extreme vulgarity, heterodoxy, and eschatology on the parts of the untutored production artists and writers drawn to the industry. That created passage for the enemy to enter into the USA’s media on the basis of satire, which, by definition, is as often as not directed at the culture represented by the producers as at the opposition culture to be avoided in securing continued cultural superiority.

Granted, the animated movie industry has come of age over the past two decades; work of supreme artistic merit is produced – yet the literary content continues to lag, and to present the enemy with an opportunity to sell its barbarism through the great technological and artistic techniques on offer. The want of a literary element of supreme quality reveals the essence of the problem: whereas the Christian West had outpaced other cultures in the representation of experience of a uniformly high educational quality over the duration of several centuries, it is now painted by its enemy as a bankrupt totalitarian regime in a morally superior world. And no part of the cultural development that had taken it to the frontier of human advancement can be deployed in its defence, since it has anticipated no need for access to its roots, having failed to anticipate the strategy that would subsequently deploy its own best achievements against it.

The result of the corrupting process has been not only the destruction of Christian, democratic, and capitalist values, but also of Judaic values, which, although they had been but tenuously retained throughout the past two millennia of development, had constituted the essence of Western character, through the moral content that emerged from the recorded utterances of Jesus Christ in the Gospels, despite the Pauline partiality for the semi-barbarous Roman viewpoint at the expense of the culturally advanced Hebrew one.

The Anglo-Saxon world could regain its leadership of the international community at the moment when it will regain its appreciation of the importance of communicating it greatest cultural strengths. America is not being defeated by morally superior notions broadcast in its own media, the effects of which undo all that for which it had stood throughout the past century, but merely by its own willingness to accept those anti-American notions without replying to them with superior, pro-American notions. But if it wants to succeed in that vital communications exercise, America must appreciate that the activity constitutes an act of war, not a mere dabbling in entertainment.

The USA needs to explain to the world its vision for the establishment of a culture in the Middle East that would respond in a more good-neighbourly fashion to America’s needs. It must set out in great detail the reasons why barbaric attitudes will not suffice where modern developments must be brought to people deserving of the freedoms and amenities offered by democratic Western modernism – even if such people must provide access to oil for the USA in exchange, in spite of any fulminations by the USA’s competition, which pretends to take the interests of Arabs to heart, but surreptitiously perpetrates acts of terrorism upon Arabs who fail to comply with its draconian dictates. The principles of efficient trade must be spelled out for a situation that will be characterized by the complexities of exchange between cultural advancement and the medium for continued industrialization: oil. The world must be placed on terms that could facilitate clear lines of demarcation by which all parties could distinguish between acceptable and unacceptable behaviour in every possible situation that could arise from such a relationship.

America’s war effort in Iraq goes far beyond the need for the commodity enabling it to continue industrializing; it involves the need for Christianity to prevail against Islam. Generally, therefore, the matter must be more inclusively categorized, quantified, forecast, planned, and executed, and, particularly, all activities that could rate as weapons of war must be deployed with that express intention, and must not be merely engaged in as frivolous entertainment for the benefit of the idle and the morally weak. The enemy views the war against the USA in much more comprehensive terms than it appreciates; that results in the delivery of American allies into the hands of the enemy in every instance. Of course, the essential political dimension, the heart of the matter, is constituted in that fact: the recent overwhelming election mandate to capitulate to the national enemy’s demands is a crucial factor, and cannot be negated. Still, intelligent diplomatic consultation with allies must result in a reversal of many gratuitous presumptions by the enemy, which would exceed even the ambit of the mandate acquired in Senator Obama’s election victory.

However, the political solution may perhaps be reached by way of a thousand different potential routes. The single element that cannot be omitted if the strategy is to succeed is the regime by which anti-American, anti-Jewish sympathies are hourly extolled throughout the world by means of the applications of biological sciences deployed against the unsuspecting public by international security services and legal institutions. The arguments to be ranged against enemy propaganda must be thoroughly known and mastered by all Anglo-Saxons at every level of domesticity, coenobium, school environment and work environment, so that no unexpectedly abstruse phraseology could catch the resistance unawares. At the absurdly reduced level, that would mean that Stephanie would have to actually prevail against Brooke in The Bold and the Beautiful – something very different from merely ‘being right’ while all accept that Brooke will continue having her way regardless, on grounds of her superior determination – a factor from which the exercise of reason is by definition excluded. Sanctions and punishments must be of a nature that would deter even the obdurate Brooke. That means that in real life, sanctions and punishments must be in place and must be efficaciously implemented. That requires a culture of justice.

If cats and dogs are to continue being deployed as weapons of war against their owners, the progressive constituency would have to find an answer to the inability of the pets of their own agents to view their owners as a source of protection against hostile pets, because at present the threatened animals are doomed to continue fleeing wildly into any available direction from hostile animals, without the hope of ever realizing that they need but to flee to their owners, who would fend off their attackers. That outcome may represent less fun for the Mafia, but a more just situation would result for the other players.

If high-school lovers are to be deployed as weapons of war against the societies that support them, then the parents and other relatives involved must be permitted to explain to them that jealousy is not to be cultivated as a weapon against those whom they love, as the case is in barbarous societies, such as those reflected in soap opera – because at present a thousand sources of ill-will may be generated at the family’s expense through the system provided by the examples of soap opera characters.

If hopelessly ill-informed relatives are to be deployed as weapons of war against special observers tasked with stating matters as they really are, instead of as they are presented to the public by the media, then the special observers need support for their proofs of the correctness of their observations, and their falsifying of views held by people depending on received opinion – unless the world is to be corrupted to the point where it will return to the cage of an arrested society. But then the media will have to accept some modicum of truth into the regime of dissimulation by which they make their money and achieve their deleterious socio-economic effects for yet farther profiteering from the effects of crime.

If ignorant relatives are to lord it over special observers tasked with reporting on the Mafia’s crimes, then practical considerations of a personal nature should nevertheless be decided by those who possess the knowledge required in the matter at hand – not by their bumpkin relatives who were left to continue with their ignorant lives when more perceptive and morally upright individuals were elected for the task to be done. Should ignorant relatives constantly carp upon every utterance from special observers on the Mafia’s behalf, criminality will triumph over law and order. The same applies at the public level: should journalists and minority politicians be licensed to carp upon every move made by government, democracy will be incriminated and ruined – the precise outcome hoped for by Communists and criminals alike.

If special observers have worked through the night to produce vital resistance against enemy assaults, ignorant relatives should not be licensed to deem the publication of their work as the equivalent of an eye-roll among other priorities, for the world could be sold down the toilet bowl of history during the days wasted in the process.

It is bad enough that the entire diabolical ‘game’ to which all of existence has been reduced trends toward favouring the Mafia, insofar as ignorant relatives are in each instance appointed to make purchase decisions favouring the enemy on behalf of special observers, park next to enemy vehicles, having shunned to associate with friendly brands, and generally sell the side down the river while those who possess all the strategic information on the matter stand helplessly by, comprehensively muzzled by the need to protect the Mafia’s dirty secrets with a tyrannously enforced code of silence.

The most important element of the matter is that the public must learn that the freedoms enjoyed by criminals are not accessible to the victims, whose approbation is nevertheless obtained in each and every case through a media dynamic of transactional management in which silence denotes consent. Would the right to decline be so unreasonable if the Mafia felt obliged to ask for permission in each discrete case? Victims do not have to feel sympathy for their tormentors, because those tormentors have chosen to waive the right to sympathy before they perpetrated the crime, in the hope of getting away with it at the victim’s expense. Victims do not even have to worry over how their tormentors will manage in a world of ‘perfect’ people, who have never loaded themselves up with debt by committing crimes against their fellows.

When the Mafia punishes special observers for commenting on their crimes by having them contract influenza, and ensures that their relatives will have the correct cure on hand for the ailment, in the form of appropriate medication, then the victim may not have died, had he continued to hold out without the medicine, as the Mafia would have him believe, seeking to make him feel subordinated to its every whim. Yet the pressure placed on the target victim by that and a thousand other forms of torture comprising the Mafia’s arsenal, is infinitely greater than would have been exacted had the target victim chosen with other Christians to take on more responsibility and to increase his levels of discipline in all things – whereas the Mafia, had it been required to stop committing crime, would have a comparatively easy task. What could be so hard about observing a few simple commandments, such as to refrain from lying, stealing, adulterating, betraying, and murdering, and to generally refrain from obnoxious behaviour? The Mafia’s pretence that people would suffer from a prohibition on crime never works for the victim base, only for the criminals. That fact must be made known, and its ramifications analyzed in depth. Were that to happen, Christians would choose the right thing rather than to continue capitulating to the tyrannous demands of their enemy. The Christian public deserves to know that the Mafia is the Devil, and not the Jews.

The claim of great fun enjoyed by the Mafia with target victims seems to constitute the chief resistance to a more fair dispensation with respect to matters such as those listed above. But while everything works out perfectly for terrorists, criminals, Muslims, Communists, and other enemies of America and Israel, a need will persist for authorities to determine and quantify the extent of damage done in the process, and to negotiate a more acceptable balance of possible outcomes – one that could help Anglo-Saxons to achieve advantages at the opposition’s expense. That would require that Christians be permitted to appreciate the shortcomings of the creed foisted upon them by their worst enemies despite their own cultivated propensity for right thought and action. Only then could the crime lords be unmasked and brought to justice.

Efficient consideration of the suggestions submitted here could help to protect Israel against the assault presently sustained upon its national security by the enemies of the USA and of the international progressive community. That could in turn help Christianity to retain the option of learning from Israel for yet another day.

Having sought to avoid the distortions that would necessarily result from the violence of the enemy’s assault, I wrote this essay without a glance at media propaganda deployed against Israel. Now, however, I must do my duty by entering into the fray as an interpreter of particular strategies on both sides.

The final significance of the story of David versus Goliath is intimately connected with the quantum leap represented by the rule of David in relation to that of Saul. During Saul’s reign, naked savages ran about throughout the land with the quarters of slaughtered oxen across their shoulders, crying: “Either you follow behind Saul and Samuel in dealing death among these ancient civilizations, or you meet the fate of these oxen!” The reign of David marked the beginning of the return to civilization in the aftermath of cataclysmic invasions of the Semitic areas by the immensely populous cattle-herding Hyksos hordes from the Balkans, via Armenia.

The duty of the USA and Israel is to remove the black caps from their own heads and to put it back on the heads of the enemy, where it belongs, lest another barbarian invasion should set the human race back for a thousand years. The Moral Law will determine the outcome of the struggle.
