I’m currently reading “Prelude to Terror” by Trento—amazing expose on the CIA—he wrote “Secret History of the CIA” as well and his wife Susan has several. All referenced by Peter Dale Scott’s amazing Road to 911. Then there’s Scott’s essay in the Genocide, War Crimes and the West edited by Adam Jones, another must-read.
Take Harriman’s “liberal” elite funders of the Nazis… then started the CIA. Picknett’s book on the Friendly Fire—Secret War between the Allies is another classic—FDR was using the Great Deal to whip up the war machine while making sure the U.K. was forced into war so the U.S. would have a nice market for weapons....
Ah the liberal progressives....
This is begging the question of course. Two nights ago I watched Hong Kong martial arts films starring kiss-ass female warriors. Exotic feminines? I suppose. Then last night I watched Worldlink’s documentary premiere on the Cultural Revolution “Madame Mao” operas—the best one was remembered because.... the females wore short pants—shorts with their legs showing!
It’s the “trajectory of tantric technology” as I’ve termed.
Professor David Palmer’s recent book “Qigong Fever” argues that the qigong craze of the 1980s in China was a dialectical “vanishing mediator”—a disappearing catalyst for the late-capitalist Westernization of China. Sort of a final surge for a psychological bootstrap.
If you want to go even deeper read THE MODERNITY OF WITCHCRAFT.
The cannabalism of Falun Gong has a precedence in Witchcraft. The secret of witchcraft is the energy “eating” of others and its dialectical opposite is the LITERAL eating of the physical body (organ transplant of living victims).
So in Africa Witchcraft was the energy eating of one’s own kin network whereas cannibalism was to show the opposite—that a person was NOT in the kin network....
Is that exotic enough—it’s emphasized that witchcraft is from the MATRILINEAL tribes of the forest and creates havoc in the village-states.... and so it does—yet persists through the commodity fetish a la
Bataille and Michael Taussig.
And yes my blog is erased! haha.
The power to destroy that which I’ve created.....
Good luck piecing together tid bits on the internet, along with sitting in full-lotus! haha.
