Our civilisation is weird… Most places on earth have now been under the influence of the Western way to “do things”…

As such, we and the entire human species, are trouble — and in deep trouble. We do not see it yet, because we are lied to. 

There are often characteristics at which any system will collapse, get out of balance, or jump off the road and fall into the ravine — for going too fast. And we are going too fast.

Over the last couple of centuries, the Western civilisation has relied on many factors, in various guises, and here are the main ones: 

LIES

CAPITALISM

CONSUMERISM

SUPERIORITY

HYPOCRISY

ADVERTISING

SCIENCES

DISTRACTIONS

RUBBISH CREATION (INCLUDING GLOBAL WARMING EMISSIONS)

LET’S START WITH THE LIES, past and present….

Lies are not exclusive to the Western civilisation… We lie to ourselves — and we are lied to — in order to make sense of our purpose which truly is undefined… So, we invent god(s). 

Beliefs are mostly used to eliminate our angst and our curiosity, that, if curiosity went outside the frame of our present civilisation, it could collapse our trust in our lies and amplify our angst — which is mostly our fear of death. Religions make sure we are afraid of death so they can give us an ever-after remedy — a lie which most people swallow like they pay for an insurance policy…

Islam keeps a tight rein on the curiosity framework, often using corporal punishment, including death, should one leaves the faith.

Christianity used to do the same caper until the lies were impossible to contain — possibly due to the “enlightenment” that followed the renaissance and to something called “the separation of state and church” that came along — at a price. Emperors and kings love the state and church mix… Democracy likes them separate, but some idiots in charge always try to remarry them, in order to control more people. 

Judaism is like Islam, but with virtual penalties — loaded with a mountain of guilt — if one ventures out of the Belief which is anchored in many traditional lies, including various text records that give gravitas to the lies. Rituals, including circumcision, are there to remind people who they relate to.

Christianity, Islam and Judaism are somehow linked by the same historical events and lies, cultivated lies that go as far back as “Abraham”…

The ways to maintain the general lies have been repeat of the religious lie, through mantras that sooth our fear of death into a future beyond reality and with rituals that command and control the people. 

Nature is rarely seen as our creator. This is the strongest essence of the religious lie. 

Most civilisations lack humility. Being the creation of a god gives us credibility that demands respect — even if we behave like genocidal creeps.

To my rudimentary optics, the Aboriginal civilisations of Australia have been very humble and based on nature… Even if these Aboriginal civilisations of more than 200 “nations” with their own language, used belief systems, one can say a priory that these beliefs relied on observations of nature and its cycles. 

To Westerners, who were/are mostly scammers, these civilisations were weak and easy to dismiss/conquer. 

For Aboriginal people, well-served for at least 40,000 years by their system, it would have been difficult to comprehend the need for and find the tools to defend against a Western invasion.

Armed with guns versus spears — and armed with property laws versus verbally agreed territorial limits — the Western civilisation took over Terra Nullius, a lie — by promoting the religious lies, importing controlling armies, the Anglicans, and convict rubbish, the Irish Catholics — those with various caveats of baited “freedom”… At the same time the Western civilisation transported its diseases, like small-pox, and its addictions, like that to sugar and booze. This had devastation effects on the Aboriginal civilisations. 

To this we must add the Western civilisation addiction to cruelty — presently enacted in Gaza by the Jews (a component of Western civilisation) — which enslaved Aboriginal people and “sometimes” killed them with strychnine and other poisoned gifts. 

The stars for Donald Trump today are quite loopy. Not that I believe in lying Horror-scopes, they indicate that Donald will see the benefit in cleaning up the mess he’s made, to please “someone” who’s been nagging him for yonks… Hum...

In terms of civilisation, Trump is the pits of ignorance, while being impulsive…

Unlike Joe Biden, Trump does not lie and as he shoots from the hip, he’s doing a lot of damage to the pot plants. Trump might say a lot of things that he believes he can do, but the results prove him stupid. 

In charge of the Western civilisation, he is a bully, a pig’s arse and an undiplomatic mule — but he does not lie.

Take Bagram, for example. “The US president said bad things will happen if the Taliban doesn’t surrender the key airfield.” What is this about? Like a gangster, he threatens people, hping he can rob them in order to MAGA…

Make America Great Again… He believes that, but unfortunately, this COULD be proven a lie.

MORE TO COME…
