RESISTANCE - HERMENEUTICS OF SUSPICION (PART FOUR - STATECRAFT)

Part Four of the ‘Hermeneutics of Suspicion’ is translated from the Spanish document. It focuses on Statecraft and the evidence of humanity’s demise as a living entity, at the hands of the State. It is short and sweet, but to the point. The Statecraft here is sounding our death knell.

4. Statecraft (la Política?)

Citizens repeat the words of Statecraft, but the larynx and the brain are not connected. They form the sounds of Patriotism, but this is simply another tool of Statecraft for the control of our minds. The spectres of obedience, collaboration by any other name, make a noise that is bereft of meaning; it sounds out like the death-rattle of humanity. This is the last communication from the deadening corpse of the body politic.

The political process, the socialisation of humanity, has led to a reduced state of consciousness, which is the fruit on the rotten tree of knowledge; namely political conformity.

Humanity today is just an artefact; true humanity is a thing of the past, locked away in a museum display case which labels the date of its own death and demise. The dead are easier to manage than those who are living the life of resistance to our State owners; for we are all slaves.

We move steadily through the displays of the Enlightenment to the ‘Fine hominis’ period and then on to...?

But yes, on to what? Confusion? Or a disagreement reining in the truth, as to when that was. I suggest you choose one date for yourself, whichever is more meaningful:

13th December, 2016.

14th December, 2012

11th September, 2001.

7th April, 1994.

21st December, 1988.

15th August, 1988.

8th November, 1987.

11th September, 1973.

6th August, 1945.

9th November, 1938.

13th December, 1937.

20th March, 1933.

30th January, 1933.

27th December, 1929.

24th April, 1915.

29th December, 1890.

16th August, 1819.

28th May, 1644.

12th October, 1492.

How many dates do we have?

How many dates could we add, when humanity died, when dignity left our language as a meaningful adjective for human life?

And yet we can counter this with days of resistance, when the red thread of redemption weaves its way through an infamous cloth of Statecraft. This thread isn’t carried in the hearts of the perpetrators or collaborators, but in the heart and soul of the victims and survivors. Why is it that they’re the ones who know more about liberty, equality and fraternity?

When the powerful talk of these things, they are hollow words from hollow men. (Yes, notice they are all men). Politics has become the realm of the inauthentic; it is the art-form of conceit.

People who want to change the world would do well to ignore them, because change is in the hands of the people; those who are conscious, who are truly awake, that is.

Resistance is not the practice of the somnambulist. You cannot sleepwalk through life and expect to be a force for good, or have the power to transform.
