Once handcuffed the woman became violent and started kicking one officer. Additional officers responded to take the woman to police headquarters, but on the way there she tried to kick out the cruiser’s window.

Once at police headquarters the woman refused to walk on her own and continued to be uncooperative. Police said that she bit one of the officers and had to be physically carried into her cell as she continued to be violent.

Police searched her backpack and inside they found a weapon inside. Commonly known as a garrote, the weapon consists of metal wire with handles on each end.

Post Modernism sounds like the perfect antithesis that leads to the Last Days thesis of one world religion.

Consider Cloward Piven strategies. The best way to obtain a one world religion under say, the Vatican, is to create a post modern world that collapses on its own ideological barren dystopia…

Religion is going to hit a new high in State Totalitarianism. That’s because the demand will go up. When demand goes up, the market seeks to meet it by raising the supply. However, some of these suppliers are megalomaniacs.

Nazi true believers, the upper echelon not the cannonfodder at the bottom, also believed in the existence of supernatural entities and powers. Some of which the Nazi scientists the US imported (thousands upon thousands upon thousands), reported that their superior tech came from outside help.

Communism derived their modus operandi from Western philosophers, the Enlightenment, and probably Jesuit liberal arts “knowledge vs knowledge” plus Counter Reformation concepts. Thus Communism or Marxism, is the direct heir of the Western Enlightenment: everything was modern, up to date, and superstitious beliefs in gods were wiped out. Mao did the same to the traditions of China. What one sees as the main land of China is merely a decrepit shadow if its former self, much as Christianity is a mere shadow of its former original self. It took China so many decades to modernize and become westernized, because the very core of Marxism is to Westernize a country and dispel all traditional superstitious or just any traditional belief system by replacing it. The State is merely a convenient necessity, because they cannot transform China or Russia, without a powerful State keeping the rebels down.

The methods Nazis and fascists and communists use are generally about the same. They serve Lucifer more or less, even if they think they are serving some other goal or entity.

That is why Alinsky and Ayers, if you look at their modus operandi, are basically the same. And the people controllers and mind control Leftists, are the same. Their alliances are different. There’s the Deep State hierarchy and combination, as well as the Leftist alliance which is also a combination of diverse and disparate groups and interests.

” It really explains their seemingly irrational use of pejoratives and ad hominems. Reading that, it suddenly struck me as to why Trump drives them crazy: he is turning their weapon against them as he also uses language as a weapon. “

It’s interesting that conservatives (I am not referring to anyone here) have finally begun to face this in a big way, despite having presumably seen some of the same kinds things take place in the 1960s as leftist radicals hijacked common terms and twisted them … or even earlier I suppose, cite: George Orwell.

But complete cynicism as to the possibility of objective communication, or as to the status of the possibility of anything approaching objectivity in communication does seem to have developed after that; as nearly all communication became according to certain interpretive principles mere rhetoric .. a kind of bleating or vocalization the purpose of which was merely to induce another to act in some way the emitter desired … or felt it desired.

I don’t quite understand what took so long for this awareness to arise. Because, references to “deconstruction” and its pernicious effects, and the philosophy (or philosophical anthropology which guided it) were pretty commonly made in newspapers over 20 years ago.

Maybe people just couldn’t, or simply were not forced to, confront it.

I remember reading Vincent B. Leitch’s “Deconstruction, an Advanced Introduction” (1982) in the early ’90’s and sharing some of what I had read with others, who were either baffled or horrified. Kind of like some may have felt reading The Genealogy of Morals for the first time. An almost vertigo inducing experience.

One middle aged man in particular reacted to the anti-logocentric stance of the deconstructionists as I described it, as if he had literally heard me announcing the contents of the mind of the Devil.

And in some ways it might have been.

In any event, Leitch’s book does not seem to have gotten the attention I think it deserves: generating hostility from both those who think Leitch is an apologist for an intellectual evil, and those postmodernism sympathizers who would try and nitpick his survey – for that is what it really is, a survey – apart.

Lot’s of emotional investment all around …

“You can see the same degradation in other arts, literature, and culture in general. I don’t have an answer as to why, only to observe that the end point of it all seems to have arrived with postmodern philosophy.”

On a somewhat lighter note … Crass commercialism meets nihilistic manipulation and grins ….

“Why Is Modern Pop Music So Terrible? “

“Listeners psychologically manipulated”? “Only two virtually unknown men write many of the big pop tunes using the same repetitive formulae”?

Jordan does a decent summary, but one thing that stands out from Hicks is that the PMers have weaponized language. They see it as a bomb to throw at their opponents, not as a means of communication. It really explains their seemingly irrational use of pejoratives and ad hominems. Reading that, it suddenly struck me as to why Trump drives them crazy: he is turning their weapon against them as he also uses language as a weapon. He really is the first large public figure to fire back at them. After reading Hicks book, I’m thinking we should all emulate Trump a bit more. And just yesterday, Kurt Schlichter seems to agree:
