Why I believe in violence.

We should not fight back - but tell the police.  We should not seek vengeance but turn the other cheek.  Such barbarism!  Such spiritual abomination and philosophic blasphemy!  Such demands as these at once remove all human dignity and the integrity of individuals and even entire social groups!  I say this - if ever there was a greater desecration of Human Rights it is the rubric of docility.  All around us docility is propagated, recommended, cajoled, and enforced as policy.  Laws and unspoken cultural norms force us to be 'free' only in the light of complete and utter pacifism in the face of persistent curtailments of ones own interests and security.  The subversion of these interests and personal security are sublimated unto the 'public good' - and the illusion of just returns or even some personal profit in a 'higher' sense, as well as feigned peace and security - are the final smothering cushion that veils the individual, or group, now dead to ones own self and even dead to the forum of the realpolitik.

Do you not believe that in a different world you would be richer?  That you would have more pleasures even if they do not include a cheap faux leather sofa and a flatscreen TV?  Which would you prefer - an orgy or an iPad?  Which would you prefer - the adrenaline rush of a pitched battle, even a hunt, or microwave food and boredom the pain of which is numbed by the persistent buzz of your mp3 player?

Am I suggesting we get rid of modern comforts?  Not necessarily - not at all in fact.  But what I am saying is that the costs of these and how they are acquired under our current political-economy must be given serious thought.  Presently the very way you are expected to use and enjoy these modern comforts destroys your body and your mind - it dulls the spirit.  You are expected to let your body atrophy - for it will never hunt or fight, it need not be fit for the orgy.  You need not defend yourself or even keep your very mind fit and active as your 'rights' are all taken care of under a package deal called representative democracy.  Your vote is your signature in a social contract where you give away all your verve and acumen.  In some states and more will follow in future - you are legally obligated to vote or at least register to do so.  You are not expected to challenge this obligation, fight it, question it, or disagree with it.  Immediately a certain political violence/violation has been performed against you, and this is rendered as lawful.  What human rights do you genuinely have if you cannot fully opt out from the social contract per se or challenge it at its roots?

But let us cut to the chase.  In a world where two men can no longer have a duel, to fight their personal battle between themselves, or where one cannot rightfully defend ones own property or person or ones given interests lest one has disobeyed the state (and of course, the laurels upon which it is rested - its false god and religious morality) - two men are not two men and one is not one.  In such a world there is a permanent displacement and abasement of the self or any relationship between persons one care to consider.  Be that a group with shared interests or two men at duel - they do not exist as they are not permitted to execute their own Cause of Honour as they see fit.  What about Class Action and similar pursuits you may ask?  The point  has already been made - none are permitted to execute their own Cause of Honour as they see fit.  At every juncture they plaintiff most run to the superior and seek succour there.  Never can one secure ones interests and make ones own rules or challenge the rules set.  There is not right to violence whatsoever therefore there is no right to anything beyond begging for quarter and crumbs under the table.

I tell you this - if you cannot make your own rules and laws and cannot challenge rules, laws, and consensus openly and even with coercion where there is no reasonable dialogue and mediation (even taking into account asymmetries of capacity and not breaching their quantities) - then you cannot do anything and you are subject to the greatest violation.  For this you are permanently vulnerable to the most terrible violence and when it comes you will be so conditioned into a state of docility you will like neither wit nor muscle to countervail it.  The state itself could abominate you and call it justice - you can be arrested and framed, very easily, and this certainly happens in states where docility has been so severely enforced and has been so widely accepted it is regarded as 'normal'.  The state could fall to another state or some violent invading force and you would not have the experience or guile to defend and promote your interests in any state of war or even a 'state of nature'.  Your home can be robbed, you may be raped, your family dishonoured, you may be debased at your place of employment until your mind is broken - and if you fight back you are criminalised, if you seek police assistance - nine times out of ten nothing will happen.  The police are only interested in you when they gain from it - either by arresting and destroying you, or chasing your perpetrator so they may have your glory.  What is your glory they take?  When the police do bother to arrest the one who rapes your daughter or sister or steals from your home or murders your parents - they receive the prize and the praise for the 'good work' they do.  If you sought redress personally - you are another 'violent criminal'.  Am I understood?  The Glory of your redress is when you make your own laws and punish the one who has done evil against you as you see fit - and your prize may be the compensation you demand from their property, their flesh, their lives.

When you cannot pursue your grander political or economic or cultural interests without risk of severe coercion or some cunning form of silencing - and then to countervail this cunning violation of liberty to speak and act and do you use violence as a tool to remedy the political landscape and restore balance more in your favour, to restore the demos itself even such that you and those people and things you value are given adequate representation by your winning the competition by restoring fair play to suit your laws and Will - then you cannot even claim to be a real living human being with rights.  For you cannot genuinely live, do politics, seek your own rational interests or cultivate your tastes as suits your passions, you cannot genuinely speak, act, or even defend or secure yourself - you are not even a carbon copy - but at best a dead blunt instrument.

I tell you the truth - violence is good, violence is politik, without violence there cannot be politics, without violence there cannot genuinely be free economics and good enterprise or even fair welfare where the needy has a voice, there is no genuine culture and certainly no religion beyond spiritual bastardy and barbarism.  Then only possible outcome is that eventually violence becomes the only means and end - for the deepest instincts that cannot be sublimated tend to explode and seek only to destroy everything before all can be rebuilt.  Have we not seen such horrors in Sierra Leone, Afghanistan, the Middle East, N Ireland, and S America?  Do we not even see it in our own ghetto's?  In this sense violence begets violence and that is a good thing - it is the last hope.  When the state, its bastard churches and false religious bodies, its quango's and 'think tanks', dehumanise and use 'Human Rights' to turn human beings into Fukuyaman 'happy dogs sleeping in the sun' - then the greatest violence has been done, and only the greatest violence can restore humanity.  When Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, the state, Communism or NeoConservatism even - engage in this ultimate violation of human liberty by compelling - then only that most base instinct that is the compulsion to lash out and destroy can give any space for values to grow again.

If then, the greatest violence against state, political paradigms and religions are clearly justified - so obviously is your own violence against invaders of your property, your interests, your pleasures and those people and things you love.  Clearly you have liberty to set your own rules and relations in the social spaces you inhabit and make.  If you are compelled to indulge other than you wish in those habitats and relationships - there is no true politics for you have no space you can call your own.  Your space has been violated and you are at best a slave even if you 'are' at all.

Violence restores!  Violence gives hope!  Violence protects, makes, gives pleasure!  Violence is an instrument of justice!  Let it not be taken off you!  Violence itself thus is a pleasure!  Let it also be yours!  Do  violence unto those who do it to you!  Any other practice is choosing death over life - nonbeing over being, weakness over strength - it is a curtailment of your very Will.  That is a violation against the self and those people and things you love.  Defend your property, your dependents and your pleasures and interests as you see fit!  Even against the state, the police, religions and political doctirnes!

Hail Sodom!

The Edicts Of Sodom

93\156\418VIAOVSODOMVIAOV418\156\93

Worship all our Divine Aspects.  Let thy eyes behold all the Neter!  For we are One and All.

Chant aloud all our Holy Names and Neter.  Do not silence our myriad aspects in vain!

Choose thy Neters as ye Will and let others do the same.  Those who abase Holy Liberty shirk THE LAW of the New Aeon!

  

When faced with poverty and starvation – theft is Holy!

When faced with slavery – theft is Holy!

When thy Honour is at stake – plunder is Holy!

Theft otherwise is weakness and dishonour.  Rent it asunder without pity!

  

When you catch a thief seizing your property, take liberty with his or her property, his or her lovers and family, his or her servants – do what thou wilt with them.  Let them be your slaves and prostitutes if ye Will.  If ye Will, bear Clementatis and let not the perpetrator forget thy grace, for then thou art dishonoured and thence plunder is Holy!  THE LAW is yours.

Murder without precedent is evil and you will be flung into the Black Flames of the Abyss – for you have abased The Orbits.  Where decadence prevails against you, or any evil that besmirches the Orbit of your Will or shames your Honour – cull the evildoers who shirk THE LAW of the New Aeon!  Culling with precedent is not murder but justice.  Shirk not justice lest ye be flung in the Black Flame!

Cull mundanes who openly shirk THE LAW of the New Aeon!  For they dishonour you and your brethren and seek to distil Time, such barbarism is decadence.  Time is the Arm of God.  Om Tat Sat!

Betray not thy Brethren, thy lovers nor thy Family! Dishonour is death!

Covet thy neigbours goods and aspire to greater Honour, for that is strong and Holy.  Encourage aspiration and display thy fine remaints and glorious Triumph, for Triumph is Holy, a gift from Us.  Those who hide their Triumph dishonour their own Will and betray their Brethren.  To silence Glory is to shirk THE LAW of the New Aeon and to turn away from the Holy Guardian Angel.  For the voluntarily meek the Black Flame awaits – an evil homecoming!

Restore the Honour of those whose Will has been broken, dishonoured and betrayed – for you spread Pleasure and restore THE LAW of the New Aeon.  Love is THE LAW!  Love under Will.  Restore the harmony of the Orbits! Om Tat Sat!

Honour your lovers – your Power must disperse Pleasure lest you do dishonour and shirk THE LAW!  Love is the Law.  Love under Will.  Om Tat Sat!

Do not stop the Power of another giving Pleasure to others – for this is to disturb the harmony of the Orbits.  Such shirk will be flung in the Black Flame.  An evil homecoming!

Higher and Holier is the Power that distributes more Pleasure.  This disperses Honour and Glory.  IAO Om Tat Sat!

Resent not the Triumphant, for this is to shirk THE LAW of the New Aeon and will receive no reward.  IAO Om Tat Sat!

The Power that does not give and restore Honour and disperse Pleasure will be dragged down into the Abyss where the Black Flame consumes all Desire!  Destroy that which is not beneficent – otherwise you fail to serve your Honour and maintain the Orbits, such shirk betrays your Brethren and will know no reward.  IAO Om Tat Sat!

Cull those who cull Pleasure!  IAO Sodom!

Moral purity starts in the Pleasure of the body!  Hari Om Tat Sat!

The body is beautiful – hide it not, for it is the finest raiment.  IAO Sodom!

All days are Holy.  Indulge them as ye Will.  Celebrate the festivities and let thy Will disperse Power and Pleasure on the Holy Days.  Hail Sodom!  Agape!

Sow no discord nor feign morality, betray not thy Brethren nor those innocent of shirk or unwarranted violation – for this abases Power.  True Power spreads Pleasure.  All otherwise shall know only the Black Flame of curtailed Desire.  An evil homecoming!  Love is THE LAW.  Love under Will.  Pleasure is the THE LAW.  Power for Pleasure.  IAO Sodom Abrahadabra!  Hari Om Tat Sat!

THE LAW of the New Aeon is yours, a gift from Us.  Let not Leviathan nor any other seize upon it and dishonour you.  Let none dishonour any other within THE LAW.  Love is THE LAW.  Love under Will.  Pleasure is THE LAW.  Power for Pleasure.  IAO Sodom Abrahadabra!  Hari Om Tat Sat!

What is the good life?

When pressed with the question "What is the good life?" there is the tendency either to indulge in erudite eulogies to some vague convention (in a nutshell - social normativity) trying to pass off as 'higher', 'holier', and for that reason its opaque and obscurantist framework is of course "beyond normal reason".  And when we aren't telling fairytales and whoring our minds and bodies with fantasy - we are perhaps more straight talking and simply repeat the "holy riddle" in some simplified set of conditionals - "thou shalt's" or "this is proper".  We see the latter in tabloid journalism every day.

But let us cut to the chase - and sweep a lot of so called philosophy off the table.  We do not need any more theosophic sophistry as modes of governance!  What policy can derive from that which may be regarded as 'optimum'???  And who would depend on such skewed 'spiritual equilibria' as 'goodness' in the first place???  Two social groups:

A group empowered but suffering a fragile sustenance of power, who depends heavily on mediations and countervailing and evasive 'speech acts' to avoid a full onslaught that would seriously undermine the illusion of their necessity...

And the second group - those who are by nature weak and slothful, who simply don't want to know better - who prefer opiates and cheap alcohol to strength, banquet, war and orgy - who prefer 'humility' (as a kind of reverse snobbery) to Glory.  And where there is goodness, greatness, glory - they elect something that undermines its foundations and brings it back to their ash and chaff.

When two such general groupings prevail - humanity is indeed in a weak state in all senses of the word, spiritually, psychological, physiological [to remain in the current discursive framework of "mind, body, spirit" and all its...  Permutations or mere distortions and lack of clarity...].  And where are we today?  We do not need Karl Marx or Adolf Hitler to help us understand.  They were the seeds in our compost, from which much grows today.

What of all the great achievements such as science, space technology, engineering, sexual freedom???  I hear you ask.  But - this is to get to the point of our original question.  These great achievements are for reasons other than what we have mentioned.  These achievements are completely besides and opposed to the groupings of weakness and decay - be they evangelical presidents or unwashed self destroying 'activists' [such choice!].  Look at what the average President aims to achieve today - it is something other than any great project such as the Moon landing.  And look at what the 'average citizen' seeks to achieve - sustenance at the cost of other great things, and of course - no wars please even if it means ones grandchildren will know of nothing... Good...  Not even economic comfort or security.

And all this - is in the name of humility, morality, sometimes even 'Christianity' or 'Islam' - all of which are lost  today.  There are few Christians or Muslims remaining (when have we last enjoyed a Renaissance Pope?  Or a great Imam or Sheikh?).  There are no great sages or liberators, no Caesars or monks.  No beings who can be said to be extreme or strong in their own format - be it banquet or Spartan severity.

And what is the good life?  It is not sufficient to say 'temperance', or 'humility', or 'charity'.  For seldom is there an answer to the question "for whom, for what. why?" that is sufficient and satisfying.  The answers usually are 'for the people' (now a somewhat degenerate mass of soaked ashes) or of course 'the state', the 'public interest', or 'humanity' - an abstraction that usually is employed by certain groups in precarious power positions that deploy this obscurantism to pacify the electorate that seeks sustenance in such 'moral opiates' - in a nutshell - nothingness!

Let us cut to the chase, and be unafraid.  The good life is an active life - and its sincere practice is not a 'stupid honesty' - but its execution without shame.  A life that banquets, orgies, goes to war, or commits itself to the most severe austerities and exercises - without shame, without any need to justify itself to any group that depends on weak forces.  It is a life of a Caesar, a Borgia, a Spartan or an old Caliph [not an 'Ayatollah' of the 20th Century], it is the Buddhist monk in hard training or a Hindu Sage in deep fasting and sleepless meditation.

Can we begin now, to talk sense?  Can we get back to being human?  Without shame that is 'too Christian' or humility that is too Asiatic???  And without a sense of false austerity that is a nothingness, and leads to nothingness, that you might find in a Corrupt Middle Eastern state, or even in the hills of Afghanistan?

Where in the world is our humanity?

Perhaps we will begin to find it in places deemed... Immoral?  Who among you will have the courage then, to enjoy the extreme pleasures or partake in the harsh austerities of such abodes and fields?  Hmm?
