- As we slingshot into the 21st Century, it is becoming
increasingly apparent that the governments and institutions that mold our
minds have implemented a system from which we cannot escape. Are we really
trapped in a prison with no doors or walls?
-
- Consider the following by Erik Davis from Philip K. Dick's
'Divine Interference'
-
-
- In the excepts of the Exegesis reworked into the "Tractates
Crytptica Scriptura" that close the novel VALIS, Dick expresses the
MIT computer scientist Edward Fredkin's view that the universe is composed
of information. The world we experience is a hologram, "a hypostasis
of information" that we, as nodes in the true Mind, process. "We
hypostasize information into objects. Rearrangement of objects is change
in the content of information. This is the language we have lost the ability
to read." With this Adamic code scrambled, both ourselves and the
world as we know it are "occluded," cut off from the brimming
"Matrix" of cosmic information.
- Instead, we are under the sway of the "Black Iron
Prison," Dick's terms for the demiurgic worldly forces of political
tyranny and oppressive social control. Rome is the eternal paragon of this
"Empire," whose archetypal lineaments the feverish Dick recognized
in the Nixon administration.
-
- Demonstrating that prisons, mental institutions, schools,
and military establishments all share similar organizations of space and
time, Foucault argued that a "technology of power" was distributed
throughout social space, enmeshing human subjects at every turn. Foucault
argued that liberal social reforms are only cosmetic brush-ups of an underlying
mechanism of control. As Dick put it, "The Empire never ended."
-
- I would like to assert the possibility that the prison
has always been under construction, and it gets closer to view as it nears
completion.
-
- While the current administration continues to play "The
Grand Chessboard" under the Orwellian facade of peace through war
and freedom through slavery, we must ask ourselves: to what end? While
some have compared Bush's tactics to those of Adolf Hitler, others feverishly
argue that this is necessary to protect America's self interests. The prison-builders
have always strived to coerce the citizenry into sacrificing liberty for
pseudo-security. As H.L. Mencken observed:
-
- The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace
alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an
endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.
-
- So now as we embark on a lifelong irrational "War
against Terrorism", which comedian David Cross concluded is as feasible
to win as a "War against Jealousy", and the CIA-ridden oil-soaked
media monopoly continues to parrot the current Administration's macro-management
of reality, some of the true prison-builders begin to emerge.
- Prison-building with fear
-
- We, as humans, are scared of the unknown. The media frenzy
of kidnappings a few months back, which served as a well-timed distraction
to events that were conveniently sidelined, also served the prison guards
and their prerogative: subdermal microchips.
- Shortly after 9-11, in the wake of irrational reactionism,
Applied Digital Solutions, parent company of Verichip, went on a flurry
of an advertising campaign, asking everyone the Simpson's tagline: "Won't
somebody please think about the children?". Andy Rooney came out on
60 Minutes proclaiming; "I wouldn't mind having something planted
permanently in my arm that would identify me.''
- This market tactic was paired with their "Get Chipped!"
promotion, and the "Chipmobile", which is touring Florida Senior
centers, prowling for Alzheimers patients who must get chipped "for
their own safety". Soon deals were made with China, Mexico, and South
Korea to perpetuate the meme that global slavery equals global safety.
-
- Just before the FDA ruled that Verichip is not a regulated
medical device, Microsoft MapPoint announced a partnership with Verichip
to "pinpoint the location of almost anything you want to track-in
real time. You can even receive critical information about body temperature,
pulse, and more." The FDA then charged: "ADS's conduct flagrantly
disregards FDA's prior comprehensive advice."
-
- Then in November the tune changed, from a medical device
back to a location and tracking device, as a Washington forum debated the
benefits and hazards posed by a new way of identifying people with a microchip
implanted under their skin to replace conventional paper identification.
Privacy advocates argued the microchip could spell the end of anonymity
in the United States, particularly if authorities began requiring people
to wear them to meet conditions of parole, employment or border crossings.
- As the prison is beginning to emerge and the thoughts
and nightmares of writers of the past are birthed into existence, we embark
on a new millennium, a new day in America.
-
- "This is not a dress rehearsal for the apocalypse.
This is not a pseudo-millenium. This is the real thing folks. This is not
a test. This is the last chance before things become so dissipated that
there is no chance for cohesiveness." -Terence McKenna (1946-2000)
- I would agree that at the time of this quote, we may
have had a few more options. I believe that we have surpassed that now
and there may be no turning back, no changing the direction of the ball
once it has been thrown, and individually we must decide, Das Experiment-style,
as Americans:
-
- Do we want to be the prison guards, the prisoners, or
do we want to find a way off of the island?
-
- It's not a prison if you never try the door.
