Kaminski asks "How Long Do You Have?"

When will you reach the inevitable conclusion that it is the very way you think that has created all this carnage, images of fear that have turned our collective social life a nauseating shade of brown and black? And red, for the innocent blood shed like a savior in every family. How is it you came to be such a whimpering coward, too afraid of losing his own stash of gold that you became willing to overlook the crimes for which you accept responsibility — the Palestinians lying bleeding in the dirt of Gaza, and the crushed red shells of children’s skulls in Baghdad.

When we made that choice in our cowardice, we forfeited the future of the human species for a potful of meaningless currency. And now we're paying the price with our children, though most of us are either too drugged or too dumbed down to even notice.

Deny it if you like, but this is what our world has come to. Do you know how to shoot a gun? And will it do any good?

Can you imagine what it must be like to have to use a gun every day in order just to survive? The scenario is coming sooner than you think to America. Although by then (maybe tomorrow), everyone will be so drugged down from the poison they buy in supermarkets (sing it with me — AS-PAR-TAME!) and mentally twisted from the subliminal dumbdown programming on TV that there will be no revolution this time, only a slow, somnambulent walk as in a grey dream right out of the Talmud into the neocon extermination camps now currently under construction by the fine folks at, you guessed it! — Halliburton.

If you don't know who or what Halliburton is by now, then you should make out your will as best you can, and prepare to meet a violent death in the coming months.

I remember from reading dozens of disaster novels back when I was a young turk. And I remember wondering about the calm, unsuspecting narration just before some colossal disaster. It’s always eerie to contemplate what the writer didn’t know about in advance, like some comet from the human subconscious come to wipe out the species.

Very sad to say (and I proceed with advance apologies) but a popular topic of conversation down at your local therapist these days is to consider how each of you reading this story is likely to die in the coming months.

Tops on the list right now is a nuclear strike on Iran that leads to either retaliation and destruction of the United States (a process of advanced decay already proceeding nicely on the financial and legal levels), or some unforeseen tectonic or atmospheric consequence that will kill billions.

But what perhaps is even more frightening is the formidable list of alternative death scenarios that are right behind it.

No. 2 is probably to be thrown into a Halliburton concentration camp for wearing an anti-Bush T-shirt and being tortured to death by teenagers from Connecticut on Prozac and in the Marines, just returned from duty at Abu Ghraib.

Here are some others scenarios.

• Your chemotherapy doctor ups your dose and you’re out of here.

• Some cop decides he doesn’t like the greasiness of your hair, and because he knows he can get away with it, he does, and you’re done.

• You were in the Army, got irradiated in Iraq, and now have infected your wife and kids.

• When you return from Iraq, you realize what you have done to innocent women and children in the name of nothing, and put a gun to your own head.

There are just four random probabilities in your immediate future, in this world of bloody bullshit that you have created for yourself.

Most of us will disappear from the universe very soon without ever knowing who it was that created many of these situations that cause us needless pain and suffering, that have killed so many people needlessly.

And we who finally found out must forever live with the guilt that we knew what we saw but couldn’t stop it.

Unquote.

This seems to be some very strong stuff, or so I think.  I particularly disliked the concept of being unable to continue living in American society without the need to use a gun in my daily life. Maybe this is what Laura once meant when she said in "the wave" that many of us would simply go to the 5th level for a change of underwear.

Oh well, if the H5N1 virus doesn't finish us off in the next month or so, Mr. Colt or Mr. Smith and Wesson might.

Guest:
It seems very strong stuff to me as well. It reminds me of the "Bad Boys" theme: "Whatcha gonna do when they come for you..."

There is a lot of fear going around, and it's not all coming from propaganda directions. I think there is so much fear that people are so numbed by it that trying to get shocked out of complacency simply doesn't work anymore. Most people will vehemently deny even the possibility of conspiracy realities because of how terrifying it is to confront them. I believe this is called "cognitive dissonance".

Sometimes shock works and sometimes it doesn't. One thing is for sure; it loses its effectiveness over time as denial becomes habitual. I do also believe that courage is an inspiration, and that many writers sincere or not, are transmitting their fear without considering the option of communicating their courage (if they even have it).

To even think of solutions or "doing something" we have to stop shaking first and channel the energy. Courage does not involve snuffing out the fear, but facing it as it faces us. Where there is a will there is a way, but without courage there is no will. The importance of this is revealed by the media itself, which goes a long way to make sure courage never grows in the masses.

Knowledge protects, but it also gives courage a firm foundation upon which to grow and lend us its strength. Facing fear, channeling it and allowing its very motivating (fight or flight) power to run in our bodies and transform into strength is not easy, but unless we move to learn the meaning of courage no "information shocks" any writer can provide will help.

We all know how bad things are, and that there are no easy solutions. If we can confront the fear all around us, it can feed us and teach us courage, or at motivate us to dig in and find the courage that lies hidden in every heart. Not some Hollywood macho version of courage, but the real deal, which the "power manipulators" seem hell-bent to make sure we never discover and activate.

Can we face the fears thrown at us, and the fears rooted in us in true defiance? It seems we have to learn to walk before we learn to run, and before we can even walk we need to be able to stand on our own two feet and hold our ground, even in the midst of the fear storms now raging.
