Precession of Simulacra Part 2

8/10/2019 Precession of Simulacra Part 2

1/5

So how does it go now, now that Amerika has given up all the hard-won wisdom accumulated

from itsprevious defeat in south-eastern Asia, and returned, once again to built an empire of

sand in the Asia quagmire? Well as all those innocent civilians get wiped, there is a kind of

reverb effect. Not only is it costing millions of dollars a day to kill those people and protect the

opium crops, the fact that Amerika no longer has those millions of dollars to its credit to be

spent anyway means that the nonexistent capital used to kill real people is going to come from

somewhere elsethats correct from Amerikans themselves. Their intellectual capital, their

moral capital, dwindled already so low as to elect a War President dedicated to maintaining

Guantanamo Bay until such time as conditions are ripe to export it right into the Homeland is

now the intravenous tube being used to prop up the unwinnable unwar against terror that has

now been given a final push towards domestication and the ultimate false flag terror event that

will signal the necessary conditions for martial law to begin. Those drone attacks youve seen on

the TV will be visible to the naked eye in the sky right above youheading towards those of

your neighbor who have been identified as domestic terrorists. Or maybe right towards you, if

your isp has recorded your excessive attendance to sites on the internet identified as suspect bythe ever vigilant National Security Task Force. But will those events exist if they are not

reported, even though visible to the naked eye?No, they will not.The precession will be

complete.

When all is said and done, it is perfectly clear that Amerika has indulged itself in an orgy of

international gangsterism as its collective response to the event we call 9-11. It has also

effectively bankrupted itself, economically and morally in so doing. Now, if 9-11 was a staged

event,[it was] in which the media was complicit in simulating an attack on Amerika by outside

forces[they were], are Amerikans as individuals free of blame for the subsequent bloodbath

unleashed upon the world? I make no judgment here. I come only to observe and report: on thepossibility that Amerikans have judged themselves.

Captain May has always maintained that the torture at Guantanamo was really not ultimately

directed at Arab terrorists; its realobjective was to condition the U.S. military to accept torture

and coercion to later use to intimidate regular U.S. citizens, especially during a martial law

clamp down. It was part of a disturbing pattern to condition the American public to curtail

dissent and submit to more authoritarian direction that included rubber bullets freely used against

anti-Iraq war demonstrators, humiliating searches conducted at air ports, and confinement of

demonstrators into free speech zones at national political conventions.

Capt. Mays second important point is that the ultimate goal of the Bush cabal was not only to

negate the Constitution, but also to reverse the American Revolution. If permitted to fulfill its

dream sheet agenda without any local opposition, the Bush cabal would convert American into

a nation of needy, mind-controlled, peasant masses.http://tinyurl.com/opaydf

2/5

This deep insight into the situation faced by Amerika at the end of 43s second term is fatally

flawed by one thing. The Bush cabal was not that at all any more than a Punch and Judy

show can be called the Punch show. That this is entirely lost upon Amerikans is the reason that

they are unable to tether themselves, collectively, to any solid object that will stop the slid into

oblivion. The faceless mask of terror all around them in the comforting form of the State is no

longer being hidden from view, but through direct implication via media injection, has

subsumed the individual identities of Amerikans. It has made then not onlyseemcomplicit in the

crimes that their soldiers and/or paid mercenaries commit in far off places, but to feelcomplicit,

and to act out their guilt by agreeing to turn themselves into sacrificial victims of a forthcoming

domestic holocaust. Every day millions and millions of supposedly progressive Amerikans get

exposed with their own eyes and ears to the fact that they are funding[and therefore supporting] a

killing machine which is ultimately nothing more than a tool for some hegemonist monopolist

maniacs to profit fromyet the voice of protest against this extraordinarily mis -utilization of

their national assets is almost completely absent. For years, that was explained away as

consequent on the fact that a Bush cabal that controlled the White House, the Senate, andCongress stood firmly in the way ofprogressiveAmerikans reworking the agenda. Who could

argue that now?

The beauty of imposing a controlled oppositioncandidate onto an electorate able to see with

their own eyes that the guvernment is corrupt and dangerously adrift is that the assumption

will always be that this candidate will be and act fundamentally in oppositionto the excesses of

the exposed corrupt powers. So skillfully is this fiction stoked and abetted that it matters not a

whit when, once in power, the new guvernment is, and acts in complete accord with the agenda

of the old one. No one sees the Emperors new clothes! Why? Because in Amerika, if the

media chooses not to announce a fact, that fact in fact does not exist as fact, irregardlesswhether it is plainly visible or not! How can this be?

Everywhere socialization is measured by the exposure to media messages. Whoever is

underexposed to the media is desocialized or virtually asocial. Everywhere information is

thought to produce an accelerated circulation of meaning, a plus value of meaning homologous

to the economic one that results from the accelerated rotation of capital. Information is thought to

create communication, and even if the waste is enormous, a general consensus would have it that

nevertheless, as a whole, there be an excess of meaning, which is redistributed in all the

interstices of the socialjust as consensus would have it that material production, despite its

dysfunctions and irrationalities, opens onto an excess of wealth and social purpose. We are all

complicitous in this myth. It is the alpha and omega of our modernity, without which the

credibility of our social organization would collapse. Well, the fact is that it is collapsing, and for

this very reason: because where we think that information produces meaning, the opposite

occurs. pg 55 Simulacra and Simulation


3/5

Baudrillard was absolutely correct. Information devours its own content. It devours

communication and the social. Rather than creating communication, it exhausts itself in the act

of staging communication. Rather than producing meaning, it exhausts itself in the staging of

meaning. In the age of advanced communications meaning evacuates to be replaced by a

simulation of reality directed by whomever is pulling the strings. And since everyones

socialized identity is entirely contingent upon their ability to stay abreast of the latest vehicles of

communication,the twitterings, the social networks etc, the absorption of meaning by content

is in direct proportion to ones media hipness and that hipness in turn in directly inverse ratio to

actual lived realityone is aware, exclusively, of their awareness, which is contentproviderand

information fused together into the perfect simulation of meaningaka meaninglessness. The

real abolished.

At first glance, it might seem possible for a society, for individuals within a society, to continue

to exist within this meaningless irreality. Why not? Isnt that what cyberspace is all about?

Maybe. But irruptions of the real will continue irregardless of cyber reality. If a societywitlessly abandons all ties to tools of actual production, and to responsibility for acts which have

meaning in real life context as they effect others, there is a limited time in which their actual

existence will be able to continue.[blue squirrels' 1st axiom of the cost of abandoning the

real!]

Potential acknowlegement of this all too real fact is avoided due to the apparent abundance of

information in circulation in Amerika in an intensity and via a diversity of means never

before seen. Information however, being counter to knowledgethat is to say, meaning, is not

properly understood for what it isthe corrosive mechanism by which all are swept into

complicity with the worst crimes of the madmen. Since all are informed, none now can claiminnocence; or redemption from the fires of retributive counter terror[to be clear, counter terror

does notimply terror from outside Amerika, contrary to the now embedded default assumption]

that will sweep into the void left by the retreat of meaning like a California canyon brush fire.

How canseveral hundred thousandchildren go missing every year, or turn up as victims of snuff

film rings, organized child prostitution, or satanic ritual abuse without people saying anything

about it??? Its out there, that information, whether or not easily available from the controlled

media. Which brings us to another critical problem, and the mechanism by which the alternative

channels of communication are used and using themselves to create an illusion of action, of

activism, in an Amerika already stripped of the will and authority to actually[eg. not virtually]

act.

Thus the media are producers not of socialization, but of exactly the opposite, of the implosion

of the social in the masses. And this is only the macroscopic extension of the implosion of

meaning at the microscopic level of the sign.pg 56 S&S


4/5

Although already effectively isolated, desocializedin fact, Amerikans continue, through their

computers and peripheral devices tofeel connected to a wider community, and therefore to a

potential for social action. Great plans are hatched and discussed online for effective counter

thrusts against the fascist powers. Reams of blogs, sites, portals and papers stuff the inboxes of

Amerikans every day with a plethora of reportage and activist pleadings. How could there not be

a means of effecting resistance?

all contents of meaning are absorbed in the only dominant form of the medium. Only the

medium can make an eventwhatever the contents, whether they are conformist or subversive.

A serious problem for all counterinformation, pirate radios, antimedia, etc. pg 56-57 S&S

That the paradigm has already shifted, the fact that only the dominant form of the medium can

make events happen is lost upon all those who continue to treasure the myth of their potential

to act upon events. Therefore they will continue to happily scribble away, voicing their protests

in cyber reality while freely entering a bleak virtual prison not yet visible for what it is. Until theday that their plugs are pulled by the benevolent guardians of the social good/Ministry of Fear.

Amerika has entered its apotheosisa fearfully maintained utopia which is nonetheless viewed,

consensually, as the only acceptable option open[ing] a dangerous door: to the spilling of blood

to save blood; to the creation of disorder and destruction in order to maintain order and avoid

destruction,as Stephen Jones puts it. As the common consensus(that current of consensus

which lurks underneath the topside ripples of discontent, the objective presence of dissent

necessary to maintain the appearance of an opposition) of all Amerki cans has gradually been

suborned through the campaign of domestic terror to support this projection of its own evil onto

the innocents of the imperial periphery, all Amerikans have been successfullyimplicated/innoculated with the viral dependence on the spilling of blood for the maintenance of

homeland security. Note that this spilling of the blood of others takes place in special zones

which have been successfully redefined by media so that instead of being war zones, they are

special zones of police action controlled by carefully defined &benign consensus

organizations like NATO, in which the violence which takes places is contextualized as the

administrative maintenance of the sacrifices necessary for the continued security of the

homeland. In a situation in which political processes proceed like administrative tasks, the

dead become mere collateral damage a discounted by-product that is no longer part of the

minimal utopia to which the global world clings(Jones-On leaving and being left)

Amerika, in its apotheosis has transformed itself into a virtual Tenochititlan: capital of the

new/old Aztec/Ameriktech Empire and epicenter of the culture of blood sacrifice, an economy

driven by the need for a continual search for new victims to be sacrificed for the maintenance of

the favor of the gods/economic forces.


5/5

And when the Empires military might dwindles further, when it is no longer possible for it to

maintain the foreign administrative outposts which process death and manage the drug pipelines,

inevitably the circle of sacrifice will close in on itself, inside the empire, the consensus of shared

guilt added on to the previous consensus of necessity for blood, so that it is acceptable for the

new victims to be found from amongst its own citizens each challenge, each voice differing

from the consensuseven if it is only symbolic and without military musclebecoming an

insufferable threat to the dimly held hope that it might yet, even in the face of impossible odds,

be possible to expunge lifes calamities. In this scenario hope dwindles but fear persistslike

a man who has ceased to believe in God but who still fastidiously observes every religious ritual

for fear of being condemned to Hell.(On Leaving and Being Left Stephen H. Jones)

-But when everything is repressed, nothing is anymore. We are not far from this absolute point

of repression where the stockpiles are themselves undone, where the stockpiles of phantasms

collapse. The whole imaginary of the stockpile, of energy, and of what remains of it, comes to us

from repression. When repression reaches a point of critical saturation where its presence is putin question, then energy will no longer be available to be liberated, spent, economized, produced:

it is the concept of energy itself that will be volatilized of its own accord. pg 96 S&S

There you have it. A completely coherent prediction of the manner in which Amerika would fall

prey to the erosion of its reality and ability to save itself from becoming a hollowed out

simulation of itself, its citizens victimsof a vast self imposed loss of innocence and subsequent

purgatory in an orgy of blood sacrifice and self destruction. Need it have happened? Hard to say.

Has it already happened? You be the judge!
