RHIZOME RAW: Love, work and knowledge


Wilhem Reich wrote in "The Mass Psychology of fascism" that the
foundations of human live would be Love, Work anf Knowledge. And in our
world, what we have? A deadly hate from the powerful to the situated below
them, from the rich ones to the poor ones. Millions and millions of people
are out of work, unemployeds profitables for nothing, even to be exploit,
from the capitalism perspective. And ignorance spreaded for the mass media,
like necessary illusions, transmit the order words: not knowing, not
thinking, not speaking. As the 1984 world of Orwell, love is hate, truth is
lie, war is peace!
Suddenly, power discover that for the capitalist economy keeps going on,
war is necessary. No matter how many people will be kill, no matter how much
more they will dead for starve and diseases. Even the risc of a global
destruction, it's no great enought to stop that war. The capitalism have a
mortal and terrific logic. To kill result on profits? Than, is good to kill,
because from the capitalism perspective, to kill and destroy are only means
to a end. And all means are justified, if the end gives a good profit!
On the present, capitalism terror converts all humans in puppets! Until
then, we have consent to be manipulated. I think is time enought to this
state of things.
All that reminds me our brother Bill, when he advises us: "It's time to
forget a dead empire and build a living republic."

Re: America's dream...


On the last days, Bush Administration have tone up the threatening against
Bagdad, that will use nuclear weapons, to face a hypothetical attack with
quimical devices from Iraq... I think that only a madman can do such menace,
because "little boy" was a 20 kilotons bomb and on present, neutron bombs
have the power to kill human lives, a thousand times greater than the
Hiroshima device! In the case of a neutron bomb, on the impact area, on 7
Km2, no one can stay alive! And around of this area, in hundred of Km2, the
radiations to fall sick much more! If we have in count that Bagdad
population are nearly 3 000 000 habitants, the result of the deflagration of
a such kind device, it would be a massive and grievous holocaust, with
parallel to no other in human history. And the brutal mind that can express
such menace, only have a pale ressamblance with Hitlers mind!

RHIZOME RAW: The boomerang effect of the Capitalism


Capitalism triumphes around the world, on the exact moment when United
States will loose the planetary control. Paradoxical, United States are
victimes of the system that was globaly spread from America. They will
defeat by they own game that the rest of the world didn't choose. Well, it's
a free market and accordind to the concurrence laws, America can't stand up
much longer! Her comercial deficit it's aproximate of 1.200.000.000 dolares
by day! And iraq war will be the last demonstration of imperialism from a
Nation that have no longer the power of the world! A desperate strategy
comdemned to fail. You see, that's the boomerang effect of the capitalism
and it already did a complete tour all around the world. Now it comes back
at the depart point, to force down the same that did it throw away.

Subject: RHIZOME RAW: WAR-CRY IN CHRISTMAS TIME.

"United States of America have capacity to fight and win on two wars at=
the same time." Donald Rumsfeld said that and the two targets are Iraq and=
North Korea.

What a splendid Xmas message that U.S.A. give to the world! Apparently,=
they have capacity for the war, but don't have the capacity to make the pe=
ace! Apparently, they fight against terrorism, but mr. Rumsfeld and mr Bush=
they said to the world that only USA can make the war, two wars at the sam=
e time, if necessary and consequently, they claimed for them selfs the titl=
e of war lords, the masters of the terror that make hostage all the mankind=
. USA claimed to be the protectores of the World... But, who will defend th=
e world from their protectores, the only ones that can build massive destru=
ction weapons?

So, I write this post in red, because is the Xmas colour, but unfortuna=
tly is the war colour also, and i answer to the war cry from mr. Rumsfeld, =
in that way: "Merry Xmas to you, sir, and peace all over the earth." Thats =
the message i have to this man that announce the war in Christmas time.

Merry Xmas to all rhizomers!
