SUPREME SODOMY
Courts and Public Focus Debate in Wrong Area

The recent hullabaloo over the Supreme Court's decision to protect sodomy as a sexual act provided yet another major lesson for unlearners as to why the current worldview is warped beyond repair. Supposedly well-meaning religious fundamentalists now fear that the United States' departure from the "laws of god" virtually guarantee the demise of the nation. Homosexuals and other liberal-minded individuals feel a sense of vindication and a reinforced belief that our government "works". Both viewpoints are fundamentally incorrect. While the majority of people weigh in on the great sexual debate, what's lost in the confusion are the other kinds of "sodomy" much more harmful than the physical act itself, which have had the sanction of governments all along.

For instance, let us consider religion. After all, the questionable morality of sodomy largely seems based on the writings found in the sacred scriptures of three of the world's major religions. According to Jewish, Christian and Islamic teachings, god views the act of sodomy as an abomination, totally out-of-bounds with his "plan". If we look further into these scriptures, we see that killing, war, slavery, brutal treatment towards women, and other types of repressive and destructive actions fall squarely within His plan. The fact that the Middle East has always been a war-torn region with the potential to drag this world into further destruction should give cause for many to reconsider the efficacy of such teachings, especially since they have had hundreds, if not thousands of years to implement them. Despite preaching peace every day of the week, the followers of these major religions wait for a final climatic battle between good and evil. Much of their energy is spent repressing consciousness rather than liberating it. Unlearning will provide the "condom" necessary to protect yourself from these diseases of the spirit.

Another area where humans are constantly "bent over" is taxes. Most of us work more than half of the calendar year to pay our dues to the various governments that rule over us. The extortion has become so commonplace that few dare to question its legitimacy. Those that do question it are often times lost in a maze of code and regulations that are written to purposely deceive citizens into believing they owe what is withheld from their checks, and possibly more. The United States Internal Revenue Code is over 7 million words long. Faced with navigating such a daunting read, most Americans simply choose to "drop their drawers", open their checkbooks, and let the government have their way with them. The crime is so inculcated in our culture that most Americans feel grateful when they get a tax refund, as if the money being "given" to them came from somebody else. Trying to get someone to hear how fraudulent the tax system is, not to mention the entire monetary system, must be similar to those who have been raped or sexually abused by powerful people. We would rather just not hear the claim and hope it would go away.

Corporations repeatedly engage in behaviors that sodomize marketplaces worldwide. The early economic system of feudalism imprisoned people to the lands of their lords and made them fodder for the elite war games of determining succession for their bloodlines. When mercantilism came about, foreign "savages" faced wholesale extinction so that mother countries could fatten their coffers and war chests. When this was abandoned for capitalism, the centralization of corporate power proceeded at a furious pace. The apparent "freedoms" enjoyed by the lower classes were purchased by the suppression of foreign marketplaces, most of them in the non-white world. The apparently human-friendly philosophies of Marxism and Socialism were simply hijacked and warped beyond their intentions by the corporate elite to permanently damage their worthiness in the common man's easily manipulated mind. Now that the global conquest is nearly complete, mankind must brace itself for the biggest "screw job" yet.

What allows these types of sodomy to go unchecked is the very system that was created to protect us from these abuses. That system is education. From our earliest days, many of us are programmed to accept the statements of "authority figures" unquestioningly. We are told that the great advances of knowledge happen when we question the prevailing worldview, yet each educational epoch continually tries to exert its absolute correctness in the way the world is perceived. We grow up thinking we know it all, or in the very least, know all we need to know to survive. What has been missing from education for ages is the knowledge that will allow humanity to thrive instead of survive. That our expectations gravitate to the lowest common denominator indicts not only the architects of our educational systems, but all of us as well. We are the ones who have been wallowing in victimization without the will to lift ourselves up from our oppression.

It must be made clear that the Institute of Unlearning does not condemn the practice of sexual sodomy. Nor does it endorse it. What one does with one's penis, or what orifice one allows to be penetrated, is not the focus of concern. The metaphor of sodomy was used because all of us understand the meaning of such slang terms as taking it up the ass. Humans have a long history of using sex as a weapon to achieve desired ends. Perhaps when a more open and human society emerges, phrases of a sexual nature will not carry such a negative charge. Those who understand artistic and literary license will appreciate the attempt made here.

Finally, unlearners must see that sex, in its many forms, is used by the powers that be as a tool for distracting many from the important truths in life. While most of us argue about what we can or can not do with our sexual organs, the global elite are busy devising new ways to get you to surrender your power to them. It will be a far more interesting day when our laws actually protect each other from our most private manipulations instead of encouraging them. The decision of the Supreme Court did little to increase the freedom that humans experience. Unlearners know that no government power can give what is already yours by the mere fact of your existence.
