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.
