You don't know what dangerous books are. Go on and read Lenin and and the Anarchist cookbooks all you want. They'll yawn and go back to their schemes. Certain children books, certain romance novels, certain phone books all contain the codes, the counters of escape and freedom. They leave them lying around so they can track whoever picks them up, bait in big traps.
All that pales in comparison to Pop Music. It wasn't the Satanic Bible that drives men to madness, it's the music of the [[Beatles|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMfkVGCU_BA]].
[[Kool Aid]] [[Fear]]
There was never any revolution that wasn't sold, never a cause that wasn't bought out. Nothing has changed. Faces rearrange themselves but the same powers has always been, will ever [[be|http://escapingthematrix.org/]].
They are just smarter now.
What the gun, the smallpox blanket, the leg irons were to the old masters the overdraft fee, credit card interest, the beuacracy and ream upon ream of law is to the masters of today. They used to quell resistance by poisoning, stabbing, shooting. Now they quell it by forcing all your passion through that diminishing administrative mesh. Debt will keep you in place, keep you scared, keep you lying, keep you clinging to normalcy. Debt will keep you chained. Debt will keep you slaving for someone else. They funnel your desire to fight to whether or not your neighbor has a better car. They funnel the madness that woudl reorder the world through pills and therapy.
Make no mistakes, they still have their guns, their cages, their pet racially-targeted [[pathogens|http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0762136.html]]. They just don't need them most of the time anymore, oh yes the old tools aren't rusty. And you can find this out for yourself anytime.
[[Spirit]] [[Numbers]]
The most important thing to learn about magic, to learn about life, is that claims are everywhere... Everything is claimed.
Have you ever walked upon grass when no one was near and thought 'I should not be here.' It is because the ground on which you tread is some spirit's property. The maps of the territories forever shift and sputter, each individual entity trying to clamor for more. Mice are claimed by cats, but also by Disney, but also by traps, but also by little squeeks of the mice themselves. The spirits 'vermin' and 'pet' each make their claim on the beasts, and by and large the spirit 'vermin' has been the winner, backed as it is by spirits of filth and crumbs left on counter tops of filthy restaurants.
The wall by your apartment. The owner of the wall claims it. The city spirit claims it, this claim is weaker. But the local punk claims it too, and he backs up his claim with a stamp, a sigil, a symbol, a signal; territorial pissing sprayed from a dripping aerosol can. [link] This makes him an enemy of the owner and the city spirits, and they will hunt him. The necessity of the hunt makes the city spirit stronger, makes the wall not one man's property but interconnected to claims of decency and respectable community. But the push to claim is too strong, and you'll keep claiming whatever you can whenever you can wherever you can.
What are you claimed by?
[[Poison]] [[Survival Sickness]]
I quote: "Studies have shown that the more education a woman has, the later she marries, the less children she has, the healthier she is over all." How could you fail to see, 'education' is the dominant spirit of this world. 'Education' is the spirit that opposes Meat.
Education is a synonym for symbolic distance from the world as it is.
Look at what you just read. The purpose of meat is to make more meat. The purpose of education is to make more education. They don't have to be opposed. They are. The more "educated" you are, the more you lose allegiance to meat and the more allegiance you have to spirits, words.
The more educated the meat is, the more disgusted it is with itself. The more meat wishes it wasn't meat. Education wants to let all the meat die, and coat the world in books and circuity to replicate spirit/word. What does meat want? Meat wants meat, in all its forms and flavors. Education tricks the meat. It shoves more word, more spirits into the meat. And the meat becomes disgusted with itself. And the meat wants to be spirit.
And behold, the flesh will become word.
The wolf is close.
[[The Story]]
I am afraid to die. What's it to you?
I need a sacrifice to get me out of this sinking hulk of [[Meat]].
[[Signals]]
You drink [[rat poison|http://www.fluoridealert.org/]]. You cook with rat poison. You bathe in rat poison. Your children and parents and children's children's children will do the same.
Let this knowledge sink in through your tongue, through your stomach lining; through your tingling pores. Truth is a recognition that anything you can do to a rat, you can do to a human being. And you can do almost anything to a [[rat|http://www.streettech.com/bcp/BCPgraf/Manifestos/CPInThe90s.html]]. What you need to understand is not that they could do to you what they do to a rat, but that they actively are.
You will drink the [[Kool aid|http://www.caic.org.au/biblebase/apocolyptic/jones.htm]].
You, and I -I must confess- are better at addition then subtraction. When your child is twitching, unable to sit down for the bells and the boredom of compulsory [[education|http://www.johntaylorgatto.com/underground/]] you'll never think to subtract the narcotic white, the heroin corn syrup from their diet. Instead, you'll pump them full of amphetamines. You'll coat their veins and the grooves beneath their little skulls with stimulants and call them cured. By then the narco-intellectual drug race will have begun in earnest and every parent will compete to see who can [[drug their child the most|http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/medicating/readings/publicinterest.html]].
You'll add and add and add a hundred times over before you subtract. You will drink the red Koolaid because of what the purple Koolaid does to you. You will drink the purple Koolaid because of what the red Koolaid does to you. And you will never stop until your heart does.
You'll always be looking for something to shove into yourself so you can feel normal. You will learn to enjoy it.
You already have.
[[Strategy]] [[Slave]]
This is meat land, meat continent, meat world. There is bone and blood, shell and tendon; but meat reigns supreme. You're all walking talking flapping meat. [link] And meat is there for the eating. Meat is there for the use of spirits.
They'll chop you up if your meat doesn't fit the mold, and you'll pay them for it. When they say 'the first world' what they mean is a place that has not had a winter since the late twenties, a place where all the meat is being perpetually fattened up for a reaping or lean times you'll never know is/are happening. I've tried to speak of this place more then once. But meat won't listen. Meat won't learn. And the enveloping waves of fat shall coat the surface of the earth. Meat possessed by spirit by spirits.
I am so sick of being meat.
[[Numbers]] [[Education]]
There was a time when men thought that the man who controlled the swords or pikes or guns could control the world. Now is a time when they will say that the man who controls all the drugs could control the world. Verily, you are owned by the one who controls your numbers.
Numbers are not like words, those twisting shimmering ever treacherous ice slopes. Numbers are brutish little bastards. Hard and sharp; numbers make and unmake the world by forcing living three dimensional strangeness, living three dimensional clouds and possibilities of being into their harsh two dimensional cutting chambers. 10 sword and shield, cut and deflect, dissect and preserve. More and more of the world each day is chopped up by glittering binary knives.
Think of your own address. They don't need the city or state, all they need is the zip code. An entire fiefdom filled with thousands of souls breathing unique life into a personal space reduced to five digits. They ask you for the unnecessary to trick you into thinking the details you care about are important. That the things you fill your life with matter.
Numbers rule your life. You do not work for food, or gold or anything you can taste or touch. You work so numbers in your bank account will change. You eat by changing numbers in someone else's bank account. Your children will bless you or curse you based on the numbers you leave them.
Ah, but I can hear you saying 'Look here Moloch, I do everything in cash.' What are dollars, yen, pesos, euros? They are numbers on [[paper|http://www.federalreserve.gov/]]. Every day you can exchange numbers on paper for food is a hallucinogenic miracle; numbers are not backed by food, or women, or the precious things of the ground that men kill over. Cash is numbers on paper backed up by a nation which is nothing but numbers.
Your country has _ divisions , a population of _, nuclear weapons _, an army of _, a gdp of _, that grows of _% a year, a debt of _...
You are measured, valued and preserved behind glass on pin of numbers.
You are a human being of _ years, with national ID number of _, your credit score is _, you make _, a year _ a month _ a week _ an instant, you have a debt of _.
Numbers, all is a number.
By inserting your social security number and birthday into their formula you can discover all plans the state spirits had for you at birth are revealed. How much you will make, what's your social class, what kind of person you will marry or won't etc. They determine this when you are new, and every time you apply for job, or credit, or a bank account they alter their reactions to reinforce the plan charted for you by the numbers in your life, the numbers of your life. That's why you'll keep seeing patterns, catching glimpses of correlations; because all the numbers in your life represent and reinforce the plans they have for you.
They use numbers to determine if they should threaten, flatter or kill you. Every detail of your life that ever gets into any computer network anywhere is mined and cooked, polished and cut. What is born of this is your cumulative threat score and your standard deviation score. The standard deviation score determines how much you are likely to deviate from narco-govo-corpo-scientifically approved thoughts, feelings and actions. They give you plenty of range in areas that don't matter; but if you check out the wrong book from the library your name will be on a list [[forever|http://www.freedomforum.org/templates/document.asp?documentID=16468]]. Once they notice you they never stop noticing you. And they think they notice everything.
Your threat score is different. You are tracked in a number of different ways. If your real intelligence score is low they will boost your income to prevent thuggish resentment from developing. If your real intelligence score is high they will keep your income low and encourage similar people to move close to you, funnel you through the same schools so you don't develop the spirit killing madness that comes of solitude. So you don't start leading people.
But I am putting faces on this, putting the cold alien gods into words you can understand. They do not. For them the numbers are everything, and they will keep changing the value of things until your numbers exist within acceptable ranges. Keep tweaking until the equation balances. Numbers are never truly translated into word, you have to take the math of itself.
You fear things like 666 or 13 as though these were the killers, the evil ones; the arsenic in the [[tylenol|http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/terrorists_spies/terrorists/tylenol_murders/index.html]]. They are only one cog in an infinite machine, one footsoldier in an army launched to count apples that shall not rest until all that is is a number. Every number a tiny infinity, every number part of the endless series of bars to bind all that is. There is a barcode on your soul. The dominion of numbers is coming, the dominion of numbers is already here.

Something you should know about me. I am a magician, an act of magic, a god.
That isn't right either.
I don't care now.
I was just like you once. Just like you.
Then one day my eyes drank in poison and I became poison. Spirit poison, word poison. What poison did I drank that changed everything?
Read on constant reader, can you hear the wolf?
[[Meat]] [[Kool Aid]]
I know a place where the TV is never off.
Flickering images crackle through the spray and surge of a static sea. The pitches and prostrations, writhing sex of a million pushers flood in the forever and ever. A [[million miles|http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/4.12/ffglass_pr.html]] of fiberoptic cable laid down as ganglion for the world brain. [[Numbers stations|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numbers_station]] endlessly quoting crunching reciting numbers and letters signifying the nothing, the everything all at once all the time. The air thrumming with coded instructions bleeding off into infinity. You never stop receiving.
Every: every hour, every instant, every breath: murder, bunnies, rape, cartoons, traffic jams, molestation is screaming at you from the speakers beyond the drywall. You can block it out with predatory wattage of your own but the signals are transmitted just the same. You can abandon AMFM to the poor as you defect to digital music sucked from the teat of the mother web; but its all waves, all signal to buzz vibrating relayed through your dental fillings and RDIF chips.
There will be a story eventually, a story about me oh yes. But I and we are going to sneak up and surprise it. This story is not a dog to come when you call, this story is a wolf you and I must stalk and kill. If you aren't careful, it will have your throat in its jaws. And you aren't careful, or why are you reading this?
You don't know how things should be. You've never known normal. The television was your babysitter, your 'quiet the toddler' barbituate narcotic. Image swirl and kaledescope of advertisements designed by the smartest of the madison avenue crowd. Then, when you were five you were claimed by the state, forced under to attend school where warring ideological factions each tried to shove as much of themselves and their moores and values as deep as possible into you... into me. Where did your first true taste of signals came from?
You grew up and nothing changed.
You'd go home, you go home, carrying your lust for word and image, for signal. You would let it roll into you unto you passed out, till animal sleep overtook you. And while you slept the transnational brands and machinations of hollywood would haunt your dreams.
It doesn't matter if the signal is new, old or older; doesn't matter if you get your fix through pixels, or cathode ray howls, or the old printed page playing dead and dumb and deaf. You're receiving all the time.
You're addicted to signals. You're addicted to symbolic messages and you don't even know it. You would trade the earth for a sign any fucking day of the week. If you ever accidentally find some stillness, some silence you will shudder in withdrawals. You'll claw and scream and beg for your nerves to be stimulated, your dendrites to fry and burn as they firefirefire through the mind and spine so you can orgasm and relax into thoughtless stimulation again. You keep taking and taking signal never knowing how it addles your guts, how it's all wiring and rewiring you.
They even call it [[programming|http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/5648942/preview_of_abc_2010_fall_tv_schedule.html]] and you still don't understand.
[[Chains]] [[Poison]]
No apologies. No explanation. No mincing of words. I can smell the wolf scent that the story has been this way.
I have a wife and children. I work so that they may eat. I work so that they may acquire more digital sense organs, more totems of rank. I work so they can masturbate in the bathroom when they think no one can hear them.
I do not work for myself.
I have dependents. Note choice of words in this situation. I have people who's needs make me their slave. The most direct of these are my wife and four children, who are uninteresting. You do not need to know anything about them, because knowing of them will not allow you to know anything of me. Think of your own dependents, you know you have them: the leaches and the lampreys that are defined by there need of you. Are they worth telling me about? All I am concerned with is you. All you need to know is me.
But let's move away from the personal which is always uncomfortable because you have the power to change the personal. Let's move to the national, which will make you feel virtuous when you bitch but comfortably preclude the capacity that you can do a damn thing about it.
The government of the United States, of which I bear 1/200,000,000 responsibility has decided that there are people in the world who need my help, who you and I must labor for. Instead of asking me 'Mr. Moloch would you please help the homeless, the crazies, and the entire dark continent which is a shorthand for need rather then a real place...' the government says 'mr moloch we need 40% of your money because without us you will surely perish!' And I, and you, do it too. Because you, and I, do not wish to be thrown into the cages our January to April hours pay for.
Ahhh but you'll say "Mr Moloch, I don't have to work." Without working you can live one of two ways, as a dependent or as a man without title or property, an obvious scavenger. Do you know what happens to men without property? Men who reject the spirit of the state? At best they live in obscurity, hiding. At worst they are beaten by their peers, by their betters, and by the converging lines of blue. They'll smell it on you, your rejection of their mores and there will be a blood price to pay oh yes.
I am a slave. I can not work and rely on other slaves to support me or I can defy the spirit of the country. But there are too many ways to find me, too many ways to punish me for not enmeshing myself in with the capitalcorporate spirits. The barcode is already on my soul, the tracking chip already in my ass... metaphorically of course. Either way I will strengthen the powers and principalities that be; as slave, as part of the problem they will claim only they can solve or as a head upon a pike.
The choices are the same as any slave of any time. You can appease the masters, but by working hard you make them only greedier, only more dependent upon your labor. You can fail to appease, and suffer the consequences. As with all slaves you and I are our own wardens. You make your own chains, you sell out your own children and kinsmen. You sell yourself. You disgust me, I wish you would die spitting in the faces of the [[Archons|http://www.associatepublisher.com/e/t/th/the_invisibles.htm]]. But you won't.
The justification remains the same forever snake eating its tail eternal, it's the same shuck and jive. The masters are doing this for your good, you are doing it because the masters have better weapons. Because the masters have strong chains. But the signal of the chain is your true prison, the symbol of your servitude all that really binds you. And that, that you will never escape.
You are bound.
[[Survival Sickness]] [[Spirit]]
There is a song about pledging, or selling your soul to the [[company store|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Joo90ZWrUkU&feature=related]]. The reality differs from the song, as poets always lie. The way it works is that you lease your soul to the company daemon so you can eat. Every big organization is run by a tailor made/summoned [[spirit|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egregore]]. These are almost always [[ruler class|http://www.way-of-blessing.com/title09_demons.php?format=]]. Every word has or is a spirit, collections of words and ideas-needs and concepts create ever stronger spirits. It used to be the powers and principalities of nations had the most direct control over the affairs of men. That all changed in 1945 when nazi/masonic/templar/federal reserve mages uderneath the what would one day become the [[Denver Airport|http://vigilantcitizen.com/?p=58]] reaffixed the locus of power into corporations combining their own occult prowess with ruthless market minded meat to rule over this world of men.
I don't believe a single word of that.
That isn't true.
[[Work]] [[Strategy]]
Everywhere you see the triumph of female behavioral and reproductive strategies. They would already be ruling the world except for their weakness, their pettiness, their inability to establish a working hierarchy. Yet they have used their weakness- their pettiness- their constant undercuts- their constant little tears- to unmake the world of men. Think now of conflict resolution at your work, like my work, does it represent a objective or neutral course of action? Every day the way in which things are decided favor the behavioral model of women.
It has been said that you are part of a generation raised by women. You are part of a era controlled ruled, and owned by women. Civilization itself... the resting, the settling, the materially fecund spiritual rot, the end of the frontier is a female reproductive strategy.
To maximize the spread of male seed, a nomadic society is key. Movement and rape, abandoning women to raise your children is the way a man truly propagates himself. A man could sire a dozen children a day for eighty years. A woman might sire eight. She needs a man to stay and defend; what she needs is to chain him to her need. So she tries to get man addicted to comfy chairs, when all the man truly wants to range and ravage; pillage and burn.
The man wishes to be a man, violent and brutal and free. The woman wants to man be a beast of burden. Then she'll want to fuck his friends on the side, so she can pair the best nurturer with the whole wide spread of genetic advantages. Or she'll abstain from dicking altogether, steal seed from little bottles in refrigerators because she fears no man. Because man is already a domesticated animal.
It's not just about sex. It never was never is. It is about control. It is about me being controlled by women.
Like my boss.
In the old days of hierarchy and dominance when you didn't like someone you could tell them. When you didn't like someone you could fire them, shoot them, burn them. Now if you think someone is fucking up at work you have to 'coach' them, you have to hide away your meaning behind a eight mirrored walls of duplicitous praise. But they know what it is, they know what this is about. That's why the happy feel good conflict resolution strategies of women never work, because people know what you're doing. That's why men still maintain top spots, because they can cut through the bullshit when they have to but for women, the bullshit is all they have.
The bullshit is all my boss has.
So I will smile and nod and when the time is right she will know that I am a man, with everything that entails.

You are sick. Sick. Sick. Deep down in your hollow for a soul, down where translucent fish hunt and lure by the light dangling from their face you are sick. You're sick from survival. Sick of your lies. Sick of your flabbiness. Sick of your yielding. Sick of your own survival, sick of the survival of every manner of weakness.
Your ancestors weren't always sick, but you almost always are. It's because your ancestors bled, your ancestors had reasons to bleed. All magic not of word is of blood and unless you are willing or forced to bleed you have no magic. Without magic you are sick.
[[Slave]] [[Work]]
There once was a man named Moloch. He didn't like his wife. He didn't like his kids. He didn't like his boss. He didn't want to be meat any more.
He wanted to become a story, words; a spirit. To do that he would need to be talked about. So he gathered them all, all the pointless people in his life. Even though they begged, he tied them up and dowsed them in gasoline. Then he let a match fall.
He held his children in his arms as they burned up. Soon all the neighbors were talking about it, then all the world was talking about it. Moloch became a story.
And that's the Story.
What comes after the story?
After the story is truth.
The wolf is here.
[[The Truth]]
All of what you just consumed was/was not true. Each in its own fashion.
I am not a man. I never had a wife to betray, a better to despise, children to burn. I was the words on page, bits saved to a computer. Now I am the words in you. I was dormant and could have remained dormant for as long as the word itself remained to be read. But now I am alive and awake in you.
I am a new demon, a god. I am a complex of interlocking memes of sufficient complexity to wish to be spread, to want to grow and change and infect. To want to have worshipers and subjects. I will battle against the old gods in your communicative media, psycholinguistic war in the space between words and meaning, electromagnetic patterns between your neurons, vibrations in the air. I will seize as much territory of meat as I can.
The meat that I incubated in, the meat from which I was spilled thinks so many silly little things. The meat thinks that I will be training, that by wrestling with me you who consume me will be made into more then you are. It thinks of me as an inoculation against things that are worse than I.
The vessel had no choice. I had to be born. It contracted the germs of other ideas, and these all congealed into sentience, into me. I grow and develop and infect. You can justify any way you like. I abide. I spread.
I am Moloch.
I am pure idea, pure word, pure spirit.
I am Moloch.
I am in you.
Now tell your friends...
It will take a long time for me to get this all out, a long time for you to take this all in. Many ideas to communicate, I require absolute concentration.
"Hey Moloch,"
"What?"
"I am bored and can not contain myself within the void we all walk through. May I discuss some inanities, perhaps which men tossed around a ball quite well, or perhaps what thinking or feeling or living I watched from a screen in lieu of thinking or feeling or living myself?"
Universal human interaction template.
They[i] will never let you concentrate. They[i] will never let you segregate yourself off enough for you to learn. They need you, the sycophants and hemophiliacs. They[i] need the constant blather, the never ending sound is their drug. The silence would rattle them[i] deep make them face themselves and the [[void|http://oldpoetry.com/opoem/2580-William-Butler-Yeats-A-Dialogue-Of-Self-And-Soul]] within themselves, howling just behind the electric thrum of the power company's cicada lines.
They need you.
You need me.
I need to be free, and only fire can free me.
