Apocalypse Rapture & The Hegelian Head Fake • The Plantation Media Promotes Religious Kooks To Discredit Faith In Anything But The Plantation

Coverage of the "end of the world story" can only be explained as secular media jumping at any chance to make religous people look stupid.

The story iteself doesn't deserve any press coverage...the sect is wack/useless...but peep, more and more, the press wants to highlight the "crazy guy who believes in God"...just like highlight the "ignorant negro" when they interview crowds at murder scenes. They're creating another archetype in "crazy God guy"....in hopes of identifying all religion and belief as a fools game.

I'd rather have this "Christian Cracka" leading his people than the same number of people worshiping the "Real Housewives".

"There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized."

The founders of the American state understood that the proper functioning of a democracy required an educated electorate. It is this understanding that justifies a system of public education and that led slaveholders to resist the spread of literacy among their chattels. But the meaning of "educated" has changed beyond recognition in two hundred years. Reading, writing, and arithmetic are no longer sufficient to decide on public policy. Now we need quantum mechanics and molecular biology. The knowledge required for political rationality, once available to the masses, is now in the possession of a specially educated elite, a situation that creates a series of tensions and contradictions in the operation of representative democracy.

"At present the population of the world is increasing at about 58,000 per diem. War, so far, has had no very great effect on this increase, which continued throughout each of the world wars.. War has hitherto been disappointing in this respect, but perhaps bacteriological war may prove effective. If a Black Death could spread throughout the world once in every generation, survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full. The state of affairs might be unpleasant, but what of it?"
