The US is a fascist, racist, classist police state...

Dear Kylie,

The Arkansas legal system, it's judiciary and court officers is merely the spear tip of a racist and classist war that daily tightens the noose about the necks of the citizenry. What blacks have known for decades whites are only beginning to realize, that the United States is an illegitimate fascist, racist, corporatist police state. Now this total state proposes to instantiate the final lynch pin of control with the NSA apparatus of illegal and unconstitutional surveillance of all packet-switched data networks. We are in a state of de facto martial law. The central planners know that social trust and consent-to-be-governed can not long endure these indignities, and are therefore tirelessly working towards creating an 'electronic deity' that will extinguish once and for all the spontaneity of the human condition and sever the bonds of friendship and family that have previously frustrated tyrants and dictators since time immemorial.

The only question now is...how will we resist this rising tide of tyranny?


 From Freidrich Schiller’s The Lawgiving of Lycurgus and Solon:

  .....At the price of all moral feeling a political system was set up, and the resources of the state were mobilized to that end. In Sparta there was no conjugal love, no mother love, no filial devotion, no friendship; all men were citizens only, and all virtue was civic virtue.
.....A law of the state made it the duty of Spartans to be inhumane to their slaves; in these unhappy victims of war humanity itself was insulted and mistreated. In the Spartan code of law the dangerous principle was promulgated that men are to be looked upon as means and not as ends - and the foundation of natural law and of morality were destroyed by that law.
.....What an admirable sight is afforded, by contrast, by the rough soldier Gaius Marcius in his camp before Rome, when he renounced vengeance and victory because he could not endure to see a mother’s tears!"
The state (of Lycurgus) could endure only under the one condition: that the spirit of the people remained quiescent. Hence it could be maintained only if it failed to achieve the highest, the sole purpose of a state."

          From Goethe’s The Awakening of Epimenides, Act II, Scene 4. SPIRITS:
.....
Though he who has boldly risen from the abyss
Through an iron will and cunning
May conquer half the world,
Yet to the abyss he must return.
Already a terrible fear has seized him;
In vain he will resist!
And all who still stand with him
Must perish in his fall.

HOPE:

Now I find my good men
Are gathered in the night,
To wait in silence, not to sleep.
And the glorious word of liberty
They whisper and murmur,
Till in unaccustomed strangeness,
On the steps of our temple
Once again in delight they cry:
      (convincingly loud)
Freedom!
        (more fully)
        Freedom!
      (from all sides and ends Echo!)
                Freiheit!
