Entertain a Clown and You Become Part of the Circus

By Doug “Uncola” Lynn via TheBurningPlatform.com

If I were the devil, I would desire the most efficient system of governance whereby maximum control could be exerted over the greatest amount of people at any given time. I would identify those who stood in my way and take them down either by force or subversion.  There would be no room in my world for individuality, free thought, or vain imaginings of anything, or anyone, more powerful than me.  As an orchestrator of chaos, the only unity I could tolerate would be that which served both my means and ends.

Without a doubt, divide and conquer would be my means and one world under me would be my objective.

I would use my power to threaten, coerce, blackmail, and subjugate those under my command; to harness them on the way toward my ultimate goal of total world dominion. The loyal ones would reap rewards of preeminent prestige, privilege, and perverted pleasures. The traitors to my cause would suffer lawsuits, investigations, poverty, public humiliations, torture, or death. Deception would be my modus operandi and confusion would serve me well; as long as I remained ever in the know with billions of eyes continually watching and one eye always on the final destination.

I would stamp out truth and label it by other names. Facts would become fake and vice versa.  I would cover the eyes and ears of my minions to shield them from all except my own reality; until their collective voices became one with mine. Comprehensive consensus would appear universal as dissent would be quelled and free speech quashed.  Language would be utilized to affect thought and to establish the ideological premises for whatever conclusions I required.

Soon, words and concepts would come to mean the very opposite of what they once meant.

Thus, diversity would actually mean unity, tolerance would manifest as intolerance, affordable would become expensive, and Departments of War would be transformed into Departments of Defense that would make military strikes labeled as surgical and causing damage that was collateral.

Of course any newly-spawned and continuously altered ideologies would, in turn, be utilized to inaugurate mandated orthodoxies intended to benefit me first and foremost.

Like a snake swallowing itself, I would feed my people and they would feed me.  All for one and one for all. From each according to their ability, to each according to their needs.

 

 

In a realm of electronic lights and sparkling colors, optics would become paramount; smoke and mirrors, imperative.  These would be utilized, like holographic clowns, to guide humanity into my funhouse where they would all righteously point their fingers at illusory scapegoats for things they, themselves, have done; or not done.  The people would encircle each other in a maze of bubbles and distorted visions, while snarling and cursing one another.

All of the fresh frontiers would be closed and gutted like anchor stores in a death mall.

It would be my way or no way at all.

In the end, however, my people would find my gift shop and beyond that, the circus; where I would stand in the middle of the center ring, laughing, and enjoying the applause.

“Behold what is new and forego the old”, I would say.

“Marvel at my efficiencies of digital algorithms, and data sets, and my avant-garde system of credits under the twin tent-poles of global taxation and sustainable development.  See Gaia dance; bow before her now.  Isn’t she lovely?  Behold the beauty of the technological transhumanists, and the twirling transgendered, as the aliens from outer space explode from the cannons.”

“Am I man or beast?”, I would tease them with a grin before my boots would stamp upon their faces, forever.  For it was written into papyrus, paper, stone, and the stars; though most knew I was never here.

Would the tears in their eyes come from laughing, gratitude, fear, grief, or rage?

It would make no difference to me. That would be their choice.

NOTE TO READERS: I have been perusing the blogs, but not posting or commenting much of late. We remain in transition. However, the above post came about as the result of a quirky challenge I gave myself. It was this:

To write about the devil in exactly 666 words (including the title).

That’s what that was. Anyone else care to try?

RiNS

I might. Will give it sum thought,
Stay tuned.. maybe…

Great Bit by the way.. Especially relevant after the go ahead yesterday with the Jordan Peterson answer to another question. Anyways thanks Bud something to chew on today whilst in mindless travails at my desk.. Doubt it will anywhere near as good as this but might try anyways.

Meanwhile best be getting to work putting rebar in two abutments of a bridge. It has to be reinforced so it doesn’t fall down.

Uncola

It has to be reinforced so it doesn’t fall down.

Ironic that, even now, London still doesn’t get that. Now it’s up to Canadian and American Deplorables to save the world. It would be awesome if we weren’t outnumbered.

I would be interested in reading your presentation on Odin’s opposite (regardless of word count).

Thanks Rob

RiNS

Events of late harken to the premature triumphalism of the Nazis on their March to Moscow in 1941. It was not the winter that destroyed the momentum for their victory. It was the muck and shitty roads that fall getting there. Might it just be that the Kanye Tweet the other day might is just the first sprinkles of rain…

In the meantime they still need us. Otherwise the roads get closed and the bridges are washed out. All long before their sheep can be sent to be sheared..

Stucky

Well, Herr RiNS, if you’re giving it thought … think Outside The Box.

uncola painted a picture of Satan as an evil fucker, hellbent on fucking up our lives, a cocksucker who won’t even allow individuality, free thought, or imaginings.

That’s the easy way. Everybody always paints Old Nick in the worst possible light. This doesn’t make sense to me. For a former Angel Of Light, a Bright and Morning Star, he sure is one stupid motherfucker!! Doesn’t he realize you attract more flies with honey than vinegar? Seriously, if you were trying to start some movement, would you do it by lying to people, treating them like shit, breaking promises, etc. etc? Nope.

So, if you’re gonna do a 666 word “If I were Satan” thingy you might think about how old St Nick would achieve his goals by doing GOOD. Now, that would be a fun read … and at the same time it might piss off many. Which is also good.

Uncola

OK Stuck! That’s 164 words right there. It’s a great start. You only have 502 to go. You got this. 🙂

RiNS

How about this..

Odin, Old Nick and Jesus are sitting in a stripper bar reminiscing about the Good Ole Days…

Whatta ya think about that. It would make a great story that would melt the shorts off the Pastor, my best Trucker Buddy beebs and of course Xrugger as well.

It has the makings of a rather purile, man I love that word, short story.

The 666 words bit could be the toughest part…. I’ll see what I can come up with..

Stucky

“Odin, Old Nick and Jesus are sitting in a stripper bar reminiscing about the Good Ole Days…”

YES!! GO FOR IT! Really.

Greetings,
If I were the Devil then HOPE would be my calling card. Once people lose hope then all hell breaks loose. The Warsaw Uprising is probably the best example I can think of to explain what happens when people have nothing left to lose.

Nope, were I some evil Satan then I’d pin it all on hope as hope motivates people to do nothing. Take all the Q silliness for example. See, there is no need to march on Washington and hang the traitors ourselves because Q offers everyone Hope that there is some plan to fix everything. See how simple that is? All you have to do is write some Nostradamus gibberish and everyone falls in line ’cause they so want to believe.

I’m having a tough time writing right now. I have three projects started but no heart in any of them. Between chasing business, my kids, commutes and trying to sort out what’s actually going on around us politically right now my energy for it is minimal. A few comments here and a few tweets a day is all I got in me.

BTW – nice job.

You rang? You really should contact Us during office hours.

You’re quite right about the techniques, but you missed a spot (on your chin, naturally): not only must you divide and conquer, but also once divided, the paths of the conquered must always lead to you.

It is not enough merely to sow seeds of dissention. The destructive creation of faction must always unwind with its creative destruction in favour of a freshly arisen unity, in which those who were once separated are now joined together in worship of The Process by which they come together.

Although it’s sometimes cheerful for the Demonic to stick around during The Process so We can herald the New Beginning or whatever emotional palliatives and claptrap are being put forth by Inverted Star Chamber public relations specialists, in truth there’s usually a bit too much fire and brimstone even for Our tastes.

Regrettably, the air filter masks you can buy at most hardware stores tend to ignite if you get a little too close to The Process, and so I urge caution and distance if you choose to become a spectator.

Absolutely brilliant piece Uncola. How apt to compare what appears to be our reality with a Circus of the grotesque that has become the norm for so many people. A true Magic Roundabout, wheels within wheels as the world turns. But what happens when the music stops?

Then the only (Q)uestion will be…just who or whom is playing the Wizard of Oz (aka the Beast) and pulling the levers behind the curtain?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rysHrMClDE This is 1965, Paul Harvey’s “If I were the devil”

Above it says you “took the road less traveled”…..In my life, I rarely encountered that much traffic. But I remember waking up and hearing my Dad listening to Paul Harvey on AM radio (usually on ‘bowl-legged pea williggered Mike’s radio show). It is incredible to me, how some of you guys ‘word smith’ the English language ! HSF and Uncola right at the top, IMO.

Uncola

Actually, Paul Harvey’s version was (somewhat) on my mind as I wrote. I suppose this was an attempt to contemporize his timeless classic. I’m glad you (and others) liked it as I almost didn’t post this one. Thank you

hardscrabble farmer

Great exercise, good to see you commit to writing even when you aren’t feeling it.

I’ve been in a writing drought lately as well. Spent the last three months working on a lot of new things and feeling like I didn’t really have anything worthwhile to say except for an occasional comment here and there. I always admired Paul Harvey’s stuff too, but no one could tell a story like Jean Shepherd. When I was a little kid, every night at 9:00 I’d be in my bed with a little bakelite transistor radio on the bookshelf tuned in to WOR in NYC, and for 45 minutes he’d tell a story that would wind around and circle back on itself and the whole time lead to a climax that was both humorous and touching using simple and yet profound language…

I haven’t heard his stuff in a long, long time but listening to it now I can see the influence he had on how I tell stories. Man, was he good at it.

The Job From Hell by Jean Shepherd

Uncola

Thanks Hardscrabble. I am beginning to realize I have no set methodology when it comes to writing. Some essays are fully outlined in advance, others not so much, and still others (like the one above) I just let my fingers type not knowing what is coming next.

I, too, have been struggling of late because I’ve already wrote what I’ve wanted to say at this time. I sense things are going to (irreversibly) swing (politically, economic, etc) in one direction, or another, very soon. That said, I wonder if the trend(s) may not already be indicative of what is coming. Revelations like those of the Cohen raid, Trump’s allies drowning in legal fees, Stormy Daniels, MSM bias, blue waves, Trump’s pick to lead Veteran’s affairs withdrawing from the nomination process, appointed judges reversing Trump’s immigration policies, et al.

I felt the need to label these winds of resistance and the above was my free-flow rant.

Regarding the “theatre of the mind” (i.e. radio) I enjoyed Jean Shepherd’s recount and it reminded me of the hard jobs I’ve faced in my own past.

Speaking of Paul Harvey, I will now embed another of his classics that brings to mind so many people whom I have great respect; you and yours included.

Scary to see how close the circus relates to our present reality. The saddest truth is many will not know how irrelevant and despised they are by the ones they think are protecting them, until the boot comes smashing down on a their faces. Scary.
Thank you for creating a tale that reminds us of what is truly at stake if we do not find a way to prevail against the current trend of the age.

Time is short. Pray hard. Play the man.

Another extraordinary effort Doug! I have a similar batch in the fermenter, forgive me it has languished there for some time. The Doc’s tell me my time is short……the sun is shining, and my dear wife and I are spending these lovely days motorcycling. Rain is approaching, so chances are I may get back to work soon. Brilliant exposition Sir! Such a sweet liquor to aid in swallowing a bitter pill.

A splendid piece. You’re at the point that anything you write should be saved somewhere if you don’t submit it for readership. (Mark Twain almost shit-canned The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn because he thought he “…only liked it marginally well”).

Lots of prophecy we’re seeing fulfilled in Paul Harvey’s piece, and yours. Although, too few read the Good Book anymore to recognize it.

“There would be no room in my world for individuality, free thought, or vain imaginings of anything ….” —–uncola

Yet, when Satan tempted Eve that’s exactly how he tempted her; don’t worry about Adam be an individual! think for yourself of my gracious offer! imagine being like God!!!

Likewise, the temptation of Jesus also involved individuality, free thought, and vain imaginings.

Uncola

@ Stuck,

Excellent point. Yet some would argue Eve’s choice originated within the serpent and was, technically, not her individuality, free thought, and vain imaginings; whereas the serpent’s arch-nemesis responded to his three temptations in the wilderness each time with: “It is written”.

But you pinpoint a dilemma I think about all of the time. I’ve heard it said that EGO = Edging God Out. But, isn’t our EGO rooted in FREE WILL? Freud identified the EGO as mediating between our subconscious (id) and reality. How is that bad?

Ayn Rand even exalted the EGO in her novels and philosophical writings as she promoted the virtues of selfishness. She was a devout, even evangelical, atheist and she literally walked the walk of her beliefs to the point of cuckolding her husband. Yet, today, Rand is cited as one of the most influential authors of the twentieth-century and her doctrine of individualism has been warmly embraced by conservatives around the world, including the U.S. Republican Party; the home of the Moral Majority and value politics.

It’s confusing.

All well and good, I guess, except for one thing. Attributing the evil and chaos to a single but powerful spiritual entity, while basically ignoring the much more logical likelihood of man’s own spiritual flaw being the center of the problem is and always has been, too tempting. The article is an oversimplification, and an easy way out of the painful process of deep self-examination. One can see the popularity of such an approach in the universally uncritical agreement that the devil made me do it.

Uncola

Darrell says:

Which is why I included this line above:

For it was written into papyrus, paper, stone, and the stars; though most knew I was never here.

In most of the bad decisions I’ve ever witnessed that generated tsunamis of consequences that, in turn, caused unimaginable wreckage and broken lives – the devil was consistently absent; even though he may have received the blame. It is also my contention that most people, even those not inclined toward self-actualization, realize they shat their bed by way of their own free will; whether they admit that to others, or not.

I enjoyed your comment. Thanks

The clowns running the US government are now escalating to full war footing in Syria -see Mattis testimony. Regional war about to get underway, and it looks like Russia will need to kick the West in the teeth through a humiliating military and political defeat for the nonsense to end. Trump has his war, on schedule and according to a plan that he, Trump agreed to months ago. Don’t believe for a second that Trump is not “All In”. If he wasn’t, he wouldn’t have the made the appointments he just did to NSA and SOS. If you do not believe this, you are delusional and suffering from deep case of cognitive dissonance. Believe actions taken and facts, not empty rhetoric.

Uncola

JustTruth says regarding war in Syria:

Don’t believe for a second that Trump is not “All In”.

You are right and it’s something all Trump supporters have to come to terms with.

When considering global geopolitics, a good paradigm to follow is: “Nothing is as it seems”. Another good construct would be: “Follow the money trail”.

In other words, whenever conflicts arise, you will usually find one of the following at the bottom of the rabbit hole: Land, gold, energy, or some combination of these three.

Syria is about feeding the European (NATO) beast (i.e. energy) above all. See the maps in my previous comment on this topic:

Is Trump Standing Down in Syria?

grace country pastor

That was extremely creative, a great read, thank you! Will share with my group of believers 🙂

You write… “From each according to their ability, to each according to their needs.”

This is Marxism of course. Did you know Marx (a disillusioned Bible reader) got it from Acts chapter 4? Common-ism. Communism.

Acts 4:32-35… “And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things COMMON. And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were POSSESSORS of lands or houses SOLD them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, And laid them down at the apostles’ feet: and DISTRIBUTION WAS MADE unto every man ACCORDING AS HE HAD NEED.”

From each according to his ability, to each according to his need. That’s just a small problem if you believe the church of today began in Acts chapter 2… Is this not what the “pope” teaches?

satan is, above all, a counterfeiter, a liar. he sees what God is doing and falsifies it. Paul Harvey, at the end of that mostly VERY insightful commentary, claims that the best “trick” the devil ever pulled was to convince the world he didn’t exist. I disagree. The best trick he ever pulled was to convince the world that he is god.

Isaiah 14:12-14… “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I WILL ascend into heaven, I WILL exalt my throne above the stars of God: I WILL sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I WILL ascend above the heights of the clouds; I WILL BE LIKE THE MOST HIGH.”

Who is lucifer/satan? Not the red tailed fork tongued frightening thing most believe him to be. He was created to be Gods most beautiful creature (Ezekiel 28:12-17).

From each according to his ability, to each according to his need. That’s the thought process which is driving and destroying the world today. Amazing that satan can take something that God once did (past tense) for a specific reason (and will someday do again) and turn it inside out using it to tear down rather than to build up.

Uncola

Do what thou wilt. That is the Devils promise. You can commit any crime, any action so long as it pleases you and makes you stronger etc. No consequences. Of course its all a lie. Hell is best characterized as being removed from God’s presence. Certainly the “lake of fire” seems a bit over the top but the devil and his demon minions probably get bored having been booted from heaven. I was hoping you were going to make the obvious link to the Democrat party. I believe the Dems have fully embraced evil in all its form. They stand for abomination and perversion and hate….of course they are fueled by the dark one.

How many lives and bodies are Dems prepared to walk over in their bid for power…..as many as necessary and without a drop of remorse or apparently even self awareness. Kanye is getting the whip from the plantation overseers. All he said was “think for yourself”…….

This ends in blood, yes but also in spiritual warfare. We Christians know how it ends but it won’t be a good time in the interim.

We’re not talking rocket science here… because it’s really, really simple. How long do you think anything of value will last when the basis for an economy is fake. I think it takes about a 100 years. Just one single long life span until everyone suddenly realizes everything has turned to shit. So that’s where we are, right??? it’s all shit and will remain all shit until there’s no one left to realize it’s all shit.

Honest money is hard. It takes morals, fortitude, foresight, planning, strength of character and perseverance when the going gets tough. Actually, it takes adults who grow up and take responsibility for their actions as a matter of course. We were given that chance and we blew it… just like we’ve blown it hundreds of times before… so we’ll try again in some distant era when adults actually respond AS adults. But for us, times up.

I have read Satan’s greatest feat was to convince mankind that he didn’t exist. Supposedly, Satan was the most beautiful angel. This may be part of his attraction, the other is that he only shows the beginnings of his ways and never the end.

A woman I work with said that she believed most people were basically good. I disagreed and said I think we all have equal parts good and evil in us; each day I must choose to act good or evil and the choice is always mine.

In my life I have two higher powers seeking to motivate me; one offers love and the other offers power; both give what they offer. There is an old Russian saying, it is alright to walk with the Devil provided you part company before you cross the bridge; the catch is that we never know where the bridge is and may not even know we have crossed it. As beguiling as Satan is, should I walk with him until I see a sign that says “fuck it”, I will know then I am truly screwed.

6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 9 Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.

10 And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. 11

To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.

Black, awful night enveloped the earth. An ominous, red flame burned in the distance. I was approaching a fantastic figure which outlined itself before me as I came nearer to it. High above the earth appeared the repulsive red face of the Devil, with large, hairy ears, pointed beard and curved goat’s horns. A pentagram, pointing downwards, shown in phosphoric light between the horns on his forehead. Two large grey, bat-like wings were spread behind him. He held up one arm, spreading out his bare, fat hand. In the palm I saw the sign of black magic. A burning torch held down-end in his other hand emitted black, stifling smoke. He sat on a large, black cube, gripping it with the claws of his beast-like, shaggy legs.

A man and a woman were chained to the cube – the same Man and Woman I saw in the garden, but now they had horns and tails tipped with flame. And they were evidently dissatisfied in spirit, and were filled with protest and repulsion. “This is a picture of weakness”, said the voice, “a picture of falsehood and evil, They are the same man and woman you saw in the garden, but their love ceasing to be a sacrifice, became an illusion. This man and woman forgot that their love is a link in the chain that unites them with eternity, that their love is a symbol of equilibrium and a road to Infinity.
“They forgot that It is a key to the gate of the magic world, the torch which lights the higher path. They forgot that Love is real and immortal and they subjugated it to the unreal and temporary. And they each made love a tool for submitting the other to himself.
“Then love became dissension and fettered them with iron chains to the black cube of matter, on which sits deceit”.

And I heard the voice of the Devil: “I am Evil”, he said, “at least so far as Evil can exist in the best of worlds. In order to see me, one must be able to see unfairly, incorrectly and narrowly. I close the triangle, the other two sides of which are Death and Time. In order to quit this triangle it is necessary to see that it does not exist.
“But how to do this is not for me to tell. For I am the Evil which men say is the cause of all evil and which they invented as an excuse for all the evil that they do.
“They call me the Prince of Falsehood, and truly I am the prince of lies, because I am the most monstrous production of human lies”.

Card XV.
THE DEVIL.
The symbolism of the tarot, By P.D. Ouspensky

Today what chains us to this awful cube is administrative law. It is a body of law with no natural or moral foundation created by amoral men to rule us in a loveless, valueless, pernicious way to destroy our individuality. Those who are chained to this cube see unfairly, incorrectly and narrowly.

Some say the way out is to throw this law off us violently by revolution. But my vision shows me the way out is to ignore this form of law and rule my life with conscience, this gift given me by the Holy Spirit.

People have become mesmerized by our technological advances that are being used to control us by those who use administrative law to govern us. This law is the road to death of the Spirit. Let conscience be our guide; not some ignoble laws that take humanity out of life.

When people wake up this form of deceptive law will fade into the nothingness that it is and the evil ones practicing it will fade into the shadows. It is not about good & evil but about right balancing the forces of body and mind. It is about relationship and responsibility.

When Adam & Eve accepted the concept of Good & Evil they abandoned the concept of relationship. Everything in the universe is related. Just because we are eternity blind because of our sensuousness doesn’t mean that relationship in time and space should be divided into good and evil; a naive dualism that cannot go beyond polarity. Administrative law administered through hubris has created divisions in our country. It creates good & evil in the minds of people. It creates death of relationship; that triangle of life that leads to completedness and replaces it with the dyad of opposing polarities leading to the death of humanity.
