… it seems that the voice of The Grand Inquisitor is now being heard loud and clear … The “world” (lower case w) is now “resetting” (correcting) the errors of the Christ (and other advocates of Freedom). The “world” (Baal Gates, BoJo, Bono [by the way did you see where Baal Gates said he can’t wait until the Corona Crisis has ended so that he can give Bono a big wet kiss] et al … ) will now free humanity from the terrible weight of freedom (that’s right Freedom from Freedom is Freedom! – you heard it here on Giza first, tell your friends and neighbors). The Good, the Real Thing, must not be allowed to embody (show up, BlakeCosmos’s irruptions if you will) and interfere with the work of “The Great Reset” (The Great Correction). Security is Freedom! Truly a sluagh-ghairm for our time.
The Grand Inquisitor, can be found in Chapter V of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s novel The Brothers Karamazov. For X-File fans see the episode “Talitha Cumi”. One should proceed with caution here … if you mention your reading of The Grand Inquisitor you will be accused of (Thought Crime) partaking of anti-socialist propaganda and will be “encouraged” to practice Crimestop (the next step after externally produced cognitive dissonance [various media and other forms of external stimuli] is of course the internally produced habituation of self-conscious, self-imposed cognitive dissonance). In The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism, Emanuel Goldstein wrote: “Crimestop means the faculty of stopping short, as though by instinct, at the threshold of any dangerous thought. It includes the power of NOT GRASPING ANALOGIES (my emphasis), of FAILING TO PERCEIVE LOGICAL ERRORS (again my emphasis , see also S. Morris Engel’s With Good Reason: An Introduction to Informal Fallacies), of misunderstanding the simplest arguments if they are inimical to Ingsoc, and of being bored or repelled by any train of thought which is capable of leading in a heretical direction. Crimestop, in short, means protective stupidity.” (1984, pp. 220-221). Yes, in the words of Jesse Jackson ” We do not need Queensryche’s Silent Lucidity we need Oceania’s Protective Stupidity” (provide any citation [any place, any time you wish] although I could not find an actual source for the quote I nonetheless believe, no check that, strongly believe that Jackson did utter those words). Final thought … it might interest some readers to follow the dots from James Burnham (see his The Managerial Revolution) via George Keenan – (note that Burnham was at one time the head of the “Political and Psychological Warfare” division of the Office of Policy Coordination.) to our good “comra..” … er … ah … friend W. F. Buckley. Fair Warning given …

Wow. Good post. Sent me down a memory whole of pure edification of dot dot dot. Finally got around to reading “The Brothers” a year ago today while taking a break from all the non fiction research material. Wanted to read a novel. What a pleasant incredible experience to read real literature. I seemed to be a shadow observing and experiencing every encounter. I was totally absorbed while reading. The profundity of what I was reading came later. Now I can recognize excellence.
Well put Dr. Scarmoge, (please indicate my affirmation to all of the 9) – (sorry! inside joke there). Allow me to posit the following, at no time in the last few centuries have so many, been so aware of being manipulated by the few, and what once was surreptitious, is now clearly being deciphered at an unprecedented rate and among a growing percentage of those being targeted. The rate and degree of overreach of the overclass here does not indicate anything but desperation on their part, and perhaps, a final warning from the top of the pyramid, that they are, not “purchasing a service” but rather, “that they are buying a result”. My suspicion, is that what they are buying themselves will not be to their liking, and not only that, but that their packages also seem to be set to arrive, quite earlier than expected.
The quote from 1984 says it all.
First off, please allow me to thank the content sniffer assigned to this forum for immediately deleting my first comment. Thankfully, I’ve learned to simply copy and screenshot my posts so it’s not a problem to play ring around the rosy with whatever it is that passes as artificial intelligence these days. To my point, excellent post Dr. Scarmoge. I would add that what we are witnessing represents an unprecedented situation. Never have so many been so aware of the efforts of the clearly IN-BREAD and ever diminishing overclass to directly engineer an entire population towards perdition. I would further suggest, that the perdition they are heaping upon themselves, is clear evidence of their total desperation. Why are they so desperate one might ask? allow me to posit an answer. They are desperate expressly because they have been informed by those who seek to remain invisible – (and are failing) that what they (the overclass) have contracted for is not a service, but rather, that they are buying a result. Under those terms, they overreact, bungle and telegraph their efforts to make merchandise of an entire planet. I suspect however, that the “result” they have purchased, will not be to their liking, and that what they have secured shipping for, will not arrive as anticipated, and will be what they hoped for.
OK now this at the level where it’s funny. and so this will be my third attempt at posting in this thread. I’m free today, we can play this game all afternoon. :]
