The State is the enemy of the peoples. The State is a cancer on the body of society.
Everywhere it exists the State demands conformity.
In some countries this homogenization sees the physical destruction of minority ethnic groups who are not fully integrated into the State. In early twentieth century Europe we saw the destruction of the Jews and the Gypsies. To the uniformed officials of the military and the bureaucracy, indoctrinated in regimentation and blind obedience, the Jews and the Gypsies seemed less than wholly committed to their Idol.
Since the Second World War we have seen the rise of Islamo Fascist regimes in the Middle East. Throughout this region the Jews have been chased out, once again the not-to-be-trusted minority, and with the exception of the now destroyed Ba'ath regimes of Syria and Iraq, Christians have been encouraged to leave.
As a Palestinian pseudo people is created along with a Palestinian state we see the same 'cleansing', the same uniformity in the pressure on Christians, Berbers and Druze.
Likewise, in southern Yugoslavia we saw not just the expulsion of ethnic Serbs from Kosovo but also small peoples such as Ashkali, Egyptians, Gornai, Roma and Turks.
Linguistic uniformity is often imposed too. With the creation of the Italian state in the 1860s an Italian language had to be created, based on the Tuscan dialect.
In France, the introduction of compulsory education led to the destruction of Provencal, Breton and Corsican, amongst other local languages.
Nowadays the States of the West wish to introduce cheap servile labour from the Third World to replace the expensive and demanding indigenous population, which can be bribed into passivity till it dies out. So the indigenous working class is belittled, portrayed as worthless and bigoted. The foreign is exalted as exotic, the ignorance of the East deemed worthy of respect, the Christianity and the Liberalism of the West portrayed as washed up and irrelevant, its dynamism condemned as criminal.
The modern mantra is Diversity, but the Diversity is only skin deep. Cultural and religious beliefs may be worn as fashion statements, but are not to be allowed to interfere with our role in the Hierarchy.
Like Marriage, the show is to continue, the meaning is removed.

Rats In A Sack
According to the Financial Times of 21st January 2013 retailers reckon that they lost £1,600,000,000 in theft and deliberate damage last year, yet only reported 12% of the crime to the police.
This is an astonishing sum, especially given that supermarkets and chain stores have electronic tagging technology that makes it extremely difficult to ‘lift’ goods.
In a free society people realize that stealing is wrong. If they are short, they can usually ask a neighbour to tide them over. They are not at war with their neighbour.
But in a regulatory society possessions are relative, subject to the whim and regulation of our masters. We are all fighting for our place at the trough.
As passivity and self pity take hold so does the notion that shoplifting is not theft. Most shops are anonymous, owned by companies, not by individuals, so shoplifting does not seem as if it were stealing from a real person, but rather from an anonymous ‘them’.
Increasingly, a person’s income is relative to their relationship with the state rather than to their relationship with an economic activity. Increasingly, income depends on income tax and state allowances that are 'claimed'.
Wealth is divorced from effort and becomes ever more dependent on what you can get out of the 'system'.
Naturally, the notion arises that anybody who is in any degree wealthy has managed to work the system, that it is unfair, that they are thieves.
The Financial Times tells us that only 12% of thefts from retailers were reported to the police. But there is little point referring matters to the police. They don’t want to upset their crime reduction figures by reporting ‘crime’.
So the notion of theft, the notion of working for a living, the notion of honesty itself collapses with the connivance of the state.
It is in the interest of the military bureaucratic complex throughout the world to sow discord, to increase crime, to let us fear our neighbour, to have us retreat into egotism, to fight it out like rats in a sack.

The Sick Rose
By William Blake:
O Rose, thou art sick!
The invisible worm
That flies in the night
In the howling storm,
Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy:
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy.
O Rose, thou art sick!
The invisible worm
That flies in the night
In the howling storm,
Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy:
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy.

Further Conclusions Of The Lollards
John Ball writes:
The priesthood maintains its power through pretended magical power. In the fourteenth century they were what nowadays are called Experts. And as such they claimed a role in government too.
'4.That the pretended miracle of the sacrament of bread drives all men, but a few, to idolatry, because they think that the Body of Christ, which is never away from heaven, could by power of the priest's word be enclosed essentially in a little bread which they show the people: but God grant that they might be willing to believe.......that the bread of the altar is habitually the Body of Christ, for we take it that in this way any faithful man and woman can by God's law perform the sacrament of that bread without any such miracle. A final corollary is that although the Body of Christ has been granted eternal joy, the service of Corpus Christi, instituted by Brother Thomas, at that time holding with the Pope, would have been willing to perform a miracle with a hen's egg; and we know that any falsehood openly preached turns to the disgrace of Him who is always true and without any defect.
5. That exorcisms and blessings performed over wine, bread, water and oil, salt, wax and incense, the stones of the altar, and church walls, over clothing, mitre, cross, and pilgrims' staves, are the genuine performance of necromancy rather than of sacred theology. This conclusion is proved as follows, because by such exorcisms creatures are honoured as being of higher virtue than they are in their own nature, and we do not see any change in any creature which is so exorcised, save by false faith which is the principle characteristic of the Devil's art. A corollary: that if the book of exorcising holy water, read in church, were entirely trustworthy we think truly that the holy water used in church would be the best medicine for all kinds of illnesses - sores, for instance; whereas we experience the contrary day by day.
6. That king and bishop in one person, prelate and judge in temporal causes, curate and officer in secular office, puts any kingdom beyond good rule. This conclusion is clearly proved because the temporal and spiritual are two halves of the entire Holy Church. And so he who has applied himself to one should not meddle with the other, for no one can serve two masters. It seems that hermaphrodites or ambidextrous would be good names for such men of double estate. A corollary is that we, the procurators of God in this behalf, do petition before Parliament that all curates, as well superior as inferior, be fully excused and should occupy themselves with their own charge and no other.

The Coldest Of All Cold Monsters
From Thus Spake Zarathustra:
'Somewhere there are still peoples and herds, but not with us, my brethren: here there are states.
A state? What is that? Well! open now your ears unto me, for now will I say unto you my word concerning the death of peoples.
A state is called the coldest of all cold monsters. Coldly lieth it also; and this lie creepeth from its mouth: "I, the state, am the people."
It is a lie! Creators were they who created peoples, and hung a faith and a love over them: thus they served life.
Destroyers are they who lay snares for many and call it the state: they hang a sword and a hundred cravings over them.
Where there is still a people, there the state is not understood, but hated as the evil eye, and as sin against law and customs.
This sign I give unto you: every people speaketh its language of good and evil: this its neighbour understandeth not. Its language hath it devised for itself in laws and customs.
But the state lieth in all languages of good and evil; and whatever it saith it lieth; and whatever it hath it hath stolen.
False is everything in it: with stolen teeth it biteth, the biting one. False are even its bowels.
Confusion of language of good and evil; this sign I gave unto you as the sign of the state. Verily the will to death indicateth this sign!
Verily it beckoneth unto the preachers of death.'

So Unnecessary
Mary Malone writes:
Boys go to the gym because they think about their body image. They want to look attractive to us girls in the consumer market. They sell themselves on street corners as much as any East End tart ever did.
So what does it mean to be a man these days?
It means to be unnecessary.
Fifty years ago, at a time when divorce was difficult and rare, a man was a husband, a father, a worker.
After he left school and began work a young man might be a bit of a rascal for a few years, but once he married, and became a father, he became a real man.
A real man took care of his wife and his children. He was a worker. He worked for his family.
A sorry, despised man, wasted his earnings on drink and gambling, on himself.
A real man didn't take drugs, he didn't sleep around. A real man was a provider.
The life of a man was a life of service; not that it was without its recompense.
He could be fairly sure that he would not end up divorced and lonely in some dingy bedsit, that it would be he, and not some other man who would be living with his beloved children.
He would be a father, not a sperm donor.
He would probably work Saturday mornings, and overtime too when available, but his wife would cook him a tasty meal. She would wash and clean for him. She would look after his children, their children.
And if he were lucky, his wife might put on a nice dress, a splash of perfume, some red lipstick, to welcome her man when he returned home tired and aching form a day of toil.

Chess
Chess is a competitive game and a war game and a great game.
To play is to be human, but does competition show that war too is a natural part of the human condition? After all, if I win a game of chess, my opponent loses, and suffers damage, if only to his ego.
In these equal days the triumph of the strong and the skilful and the lucky is deemed unfair.
So, is chess a depraved game? Does it lead our Youth to sin against Fairness?
Is it a boy thing? In other words, is it criminal?
Does it offend Big Mother?
If competition is wicked then surely chess is wicked too.
But all sports start with a theoretical equality, and that is where the pleasure lies.
It is nice to lie on my back, watching the clouds roll by, and it's nice to play my whistle and I enjoy the feeling that I might be improving as a whistle player, but it doesn't get the adrenalin running like a good game of chess with Dick.
Games are a sociable activity too. It is a way to get together, particularly for us guys.
Indeed, war probably originated as something like a Sunday afternoon game, like a rugby match between two neighbouring villages, an excuse for some fun and raucous laughter.
Perhaps one day somebody stopped playing, and took it all too seriously.
Perhaps one day somebody gave themselves over to the Lie.
Perhaps somebody lost faith and cheated.
