Comatose with Joy.

Currently reading ‘The Men who Stare at Goats.’ I got it for Christmas. In case you’re wondering the ‘men’ are US military PsyOps and they stare at goats to kill them. Not that legions of goats have been mowed down by this method, just one or two, and not that goats are a particular threat to the USA. It probably all stems from the 1920’s when Edward Bernays took the psychoanalytic ideas of his uncle, one Sigmund Freud, to the US and applied them to the propaganda of social control and commerce, making his famous quote,
"If we understand the mechanism and motives of the group mind, is it not possible to control and regiment the masses according to our will without their knowing about it?” Hence Green Day’s more recent quote, “Don’t wana live in Mind Fuck America.” So where Sigmund and Jung et al were trying to ‘un-fuck’ European minds, US commerce and its government were happily doing the opposite to its own population. If that’s what they do to their own God knows what PsyOps have been doing to Iraqis and Afghans. So it comes as no surprise that the US have pursued mental warfare to the tune of $30 billion under George Bush and Donald Rumsfeld.
Unfortunately there’s a flaw in America’s scheme of things. No one’s immune. And it stands to reason that those who fuck most are those who are fucked most. Hence the higher you go in America the stranger it becomes. Not in a, “I think I’m Napoleon” way, more a, “I secretly think I’m God” way. As a result PsyOps believes if you poke a dog with a stick and go “gerrrrr” it will happily see the error of its ways. It won’t. It will eat the stick, go “GERRRRRRRRRRR” and tear you limb from limb. I did humanely fell a potbellied pig once. I scratched it just in front of it hind leg. It stood stock still in ecstasy for a moment and then fell over, presumably comatose with joy. After a few moments it got up and ran away. But in those few moments I could have slit its throat, disembowelled and skinned it. I could teach those PsyOps guys a thing or two.
