Postmodernism is the Climax of the Regression of Western Civilization • The West is a hybrid, an unstable blend of Greco-Roman & Hebrew elements • Degenerate Hellenism renewed itself by sucking vital principles from the Jews, a host it occupied. • From the beginning the graft has been coming undone; metamorphosis, magic & an avatar cannot cohere with Judaism. • Hi-Tech paganism is last stage of West reversion
Mass Media Amplifies Magic, displacing life by images; • Digital reality is potent type of old magic • Pop culture is obsessed with magic • Media imagery blurs reality, limits dissolve • This creates mental-social disturbance • Oligarchs increase this by using media to promote disturbances to destroy nations & history & create new order, memory gone
Hellenism & Human Gods • A main form of magic effaces boundary of human & divine • Hi-Tech renews this ability, embedding magic in shadows • Our imagery is an apocalypse of shadow
“I shout, I scream, I kill the king…” modern tyrants gain divine powers
Avatars & Debased Messianism • 20th c: as the West regressed people were sought pagan form of messiah, the divine-man or avatar • Now control is taken by cult-influenced oligarchies that are drunk on power
Distraction Machine numbs masses w images of sex & transformation • While they are made into serfs, the masses are distracted by images of godhood, revolt & sensuality • This leads to post-literate society & people easily managed to death
Fascism: group mind, loss of mind, cult of the State that exalts carnage
Images of pagan-type triumphs fascinate people losing rts & humanity • Cult of the goddess returns • Balance of genders broken; family-ties shrink, replaced by demands for fun • Sci-fi fantasies return ancient visions of super beings
Pop culture is fascism, control of indiv return of Dionysian model, pre-mind • Greek Theatre drew on ancient myths & memories of group orgies dismembering a god-man, actor • Osiris, Tammuz, Dionysus, Orpheus • Regression to primitive, human sacrifice, Antinous
Dionysus god of Greek Theatre, his altar smoked in the dancing area • Roman triumphs were vulgar Greek theatre • Modern spectacles too build this mind-set • War vs. thought, self-restraint, reverence • Rome vs. Jews • Rome is winning
Imperial glory & dreams of godhead are the essence of fascism and control
Forgetting is chic; those who forget repeat past traumas, invite new ones
The Bacchae is a text for our times; the West obsesses on War v Jews
Mass Culture: seduction – destruction, distract & enrage the masses; Sieg heil
Spectacles & hypnotized masses are the face of the future now in place
