BreXit : States of Decay

I've never seen such a State of Decay....

The Doctor,

England, 1980

"Bourgeois democracy, although a great historical advance in comparison with medievalism, always remains, and under capitalism is bound to remain, restricted, truncated, false and hypocritical, a paradise for the rich and a snare and deception for the exploited, for the poor.

Even in the most democratic bourgeois state the oppressed people at every step encounter the crying contradiction between the formal equality proclaimed by the “democracy” of the capitalists and the thousands of real limitations and subterfuges which turn the proletarians into wage-slaves. It is precisely this contradiction that is opening the eyes of the people to the rottenness, mendacity and hypocrisy of capitalism. It is this contradiction that the agitators and propagandists of socialism are constantly exposing to the people, in order to prepare them for revolution!

And now that the era of revolution has begun, Kautsky turns his back upon it and begins to extol the charms of moribund bourgeois democracy."

Bourgeois And Proletarian Democracy :

The Proletarian Revolution and the Renegade Kautsky

- by VI Lenin

ROMANA:

A society that evolve backwards must be subject to some even more powerful force restraining it.

DOCTOR:

An even more powerful force?

ZARGO:

How very mysterious.

HABRIS:

Lord Aukon himself is here.

(Aukon enters and inspects the line.)

AUKON:

Interesting.

(He goes back to Adric.)

AUKON:

A mind that shields itself.
One who pretends to be a dull and stupid peasant, but who is different.

ADRIC:

Who, me?

AUKON:

You. You, come with me.

ADRIC:

Why?

AUKON:

Spirit too, I see. Excellent.

ADRIC:

Come with you? What's in it for me?

AUKON:

Wealth.

Power.

Dominion over This World.

And over many others.

[State room]

DOCTOR:

Surely you realise something here must be wrong?

ZARGO:

Wrong?

DOCTOR:

Yes.

CAMILLA:

What is, is.

DOCTOR:

No. What is, is wrong.

Look, societies develop in varying ways.

Yours just seems to be sinking back into some sort of primitivism.

Wouldn't you say so?

ROMANA:

Oh, yes. In terms of applied socioenergetics, it's losing its grip on level two development.

DOCTOR:

On level two?

ROMANA:

A society that evolve backwards must be subject to some even more powerful force restraining it.

DOCTOR:

An even more powerful force?

ZARGO:

How very mysterious.

DOCTOR:

Well, mysterious or not, those rebels seem to think the power emanates from you.

CAMILLA:

They flatter us.

ZARGO:

In any society there is bound to be a division. The rulers and the ruled.

DOCTOR:

A division? Yawning chasm, I'd say. Wouldn't you?

ROMANA:

No, I'd say a sociopathetic abscess.

DOCTOR:

Oh, I wish I'd thought of that. That's a good diagnosis.

Yes, I've never seen such a State of Decay.

CAMILLA:

Be careful, Doctor. We have acquired great powers.

DOCTOR:

Ah.

ZARGO:

There must be rulers. A Ship of State must have a pilot.

DOCTOR:

What did you say?

ZARGO:

Ship of State.

CAMILLA:
No.

DOCTOR:

Ship of State?

ZARGO:

A metaphor.

DOCTOR:

Ah. It's just odd, you see, that he should mention that, because Romana and I have just been at your ship's old manifest and I can't remember what the ship was called but Romana might be able to remember. What was it called, Romana?

ROMANA:

Hydrax.

DOCTOR:

Yes, Hydrax.
Does that mean anything to you?
Hydrax? Hydrax?

ZARGO:

Where did you see this?

CAMILLA:

Be silent.

ZARGO:

Those records were destroyed.

CAMILLA:

I said be silent.

DOCTOR:

No, please don't be silent. It's so fascinating.

(Habris enters.)

HABRIS:

My lord, it is time.

ZARGO:

How dare you interrupt us!

HABRIS:

Aukon has seen the sign. The Arising is at hand.

CAMILLA:

The Arising? Leave us.

(Habris leaves.)

ZARGO:

We must go to him.

CAMILLA:

We shall resume this later.
If you need anything, there are guards outside the door.
Many guards.

(The doors slam shut behind Zargo and Camilla.)

DOCTOR:

You know something? I don't think they want to be followed. Let's sit down.

(The Doctor tries Camilla's throne, then Zargo's.)

DOCTOR:

Oh yes, this is much more comfortable. What were those Hydrax officers called?

ROMANA:

Captain Miles Sharkey, Navigation Officer Lauren MacMillan, Science Officer Anthony O'Connor.

DOCTOR:

That's very good. Have you ever heard of the Brothers Grimm?

ROMANA:

This is no time for fairy tales.

DOCTOR:

They also discovered the Law of Consonantal Shift. How language changes over the years.

ROMANA:

You mean the hard sounds softening, B's becoming V's and so on.

DOCTOR:

Hmm.

ROMANA:

Camilla, Aukon and Zargo.

Wait a minute:
Sharkey, Zharkey, Zarkey, Zar, Zargo.

The same name passed down through generations.

DOCTOR:

That's right. And MacMillan becomes?

ROMANA:

Camilla.

DOCTOR:

And O'Connor becomes?

ROMANA:

Aukon. The descendants of the original ship's officers.

DOCTOR:

Yes. And this is the original ship.

The pilot here, co-pilot there.

No, no, no, pilot there, co-pilot here. Instrument banks there, control panels there.

ROMANA:

You mean this is the Hydrax, the explorer ship?

DOCTOR:

Yes. Do you fancy exploring it?

ROMANA:

Mmm.

(The Doctor gets up.)

DOCTOR:

Inspection hatch.

ROMANA:

Ahem. Doctor?

(Romana has found something by the side of the wooden throne.)

DOCTOR:

Shush. Inspection hatch.

ROMANA:

Doctor.

DOCTOR:

Hmm?

(The Doctor goes to where Romana is pointing.)

DOCTOR:

Romana!! I've found the inspection hatch!

[Resting place]

AUKON:

When my servants were seeking the Doctor, I sensed another alien mind not far away. I traced it to the village and here he is.

The first of the Chosen Ones, at last.

ZARGO:

But he is an alien. He must have come with the two strangers.

CAMILLA:

The Chosen Ones were to be from amongst the peasants.

AUKON:

We have bred dullness, conformity, obedience into those clods for twenty generations.

Unfortunately, we have also bred out just those qualities we need for other purposes.

ZARGO:

This disturbs me, Aukon.

CAMILLA:

We have been talking to this Doctor and his companion.

ZARGO:

The Doctor's mind is powerful, but he is dangerous. He must die.

AUKON:

Not before I have questioned him.

ZARGO:

I say he is dangerous and must die. The boy too.

We need no aliens to join us.

Let him feed the Great One with his blood.

(Adric stares blankly ahead as Zargo waves his dagger in front of his eyes.)

AUKON:

The boy is still young.

His mind is strong, clear, but malleable.

We can make of him what we wish.

CAMILLA:

Aukon is right.

What does it matter where he comes from?

Once he is initiated, he is ours.

We must increase our numbers as the Great One commands or he will be angry.

And such a handsome child.

AUKON:

I will take him to be prepared. Come.

BreXit : Roman Feudalism

QUEEN CAMILLA:

Strangers at a time like this! Why did you not seize them when they first appeared?

HABRIS, CAPTAIN OF THE GUARD:

I had no orders, my lady, and there was something about them.

They were no peasants, that I swear.

They were Lords.

KING ZARGO:

We are your Lords, Habris.

There are no others.

There is no Rapture.

Hell is Here. And So is Heaven.

We have to Perfect ourselves and in so-doing, purify The Earth.

There is no Rapture.

Hell is Here. And So is Heaven.

We have to Perfect ourselves and in so-doing, purify The Earth.

So, there is a lot of work to be done.

Are you going to help with The Work..?

This is what Prince thinks.

This is what Putin thinks.

Russians don't believe in the Second Coming - the Eastern Orthodox Canon does not include The Book of Revelation.

The Church of Rome needed The Second Coming to maintain the social order under Feudalism and Aristocracy - you needed to have a day of Judgement as a reductionist form of Karma and reincarnation.

In Russia, they didn't have Feudalism, they had Serfdom, which made the peasants and the Tsar very strong and independent and the petty aristocracy and landed gentry very weak.

This is why Ukraine is the way it is - the Western Half and the Kiev Criminals are all Catholic Technocrats selling themselves to Washington or Brussels, whereas the Russian Orthodox half will stand and fight you til they die if you try to take what is theirs, and then bite your legs off at the ankles.

Remember Stalingrad - Remembet Babi Yar.

BreXit : POPE PIUS V'S BULL AGAINST QUEEN ELIZABETH I OF ENGLAND (1570)

POPE PIUS V'S BULL AGAINST QUEEN ELIZABETH I OF ENGLAND

1570

Pius Bishop, servant of the servants of God, in lasting memory of the matter.

He that reigneth on high, to whom is given all power in heaven and earth, has committed one holy Catholic and apostolic Church, outside of which there is no salvation, to one alone upon earth, namely to Peter, the first of the apostles, and to Peter's successor, the Pope of Rome, to be by him governed in fullness of power. Him alone He has made ruler over all peoples and kingdoms, to pull up, destroy, scatter, disperse, plant and build, so that he may preserve His faithful people (knit together with the girdle of charity) in the unity of the Spirit and present them safe and spotless to their Saviour.

1. In obedience to which duty, we (who by God's goodness are called to the aforesaid government of the Church) spare no pains and labour with all our might that unity and the Catholic religion (which their Author, for the trial of His children's faith and our correction, has suffered to be afflicted with such great troubles) may be preserved entire. But the number of the ungodly has so much grown in power that there is no place left in the world which they have not tried to corrupt with their most wicked doctrines; and among others, Elizabeth, the pretended Queen of England and the servant of crime, has assisted in this, with whom as in a sanctuary the most pernicious of all have found refuge. This very woman, having seized the crown and monstrously usurped the place of supreme head of the Church in all England to gether with the chief authority and jurisdiction belonging to it, has once again reduced this same kingdom- which had already been restored to the Catholic faith and to good fruits- to a miserable ruin.

2. Prohibiting with a strong hand the use of the true religion, which after its earlier overthrow by Henry VIII (a deserter therefrom) Mary, the lawful Queen of famous memory, had with the help of this See restored, she has followed and embraced the errors of the heretics. She has removed the royal Council, composed of the nobility of England, and has filled it with obscure men, being heretics; oppressed the followers of the Catholic faith; instituted false preachers and ministers of impiety; abolished the sacrifice of the mass, prayers, fasts, choice of meats, celibacy, and Catholic ceremonies; and has ordered that books of manifestly heretical content be propounded to the whole realm and that impious rites and institutions after the rule of Calvin, entertained and observed by herself, be also observed by her subjects. She has dared to eject bishops, rectors of churches and other Catholic priests from their churches and benefices, to bestow these and other things ecclesiastical upon heretics, and to determine spiritual causes; has forbidden the prelates, clergy and people to acknowledge the Church of Rome or obey its precepts and canonical sanctions; has forced most of them to come to terms with her wicked laws, to abjure the authority and obedience of the Pope of Rome, and to accept her, on oath, as their only lady in matters temporal and spiritual; has imposed penalties and punishments on those who would not agree to this and has exacted then of those who perserved in the unity of the faith and the aforesaid obedience; has thrown the Catholic prelates and parsons into prison where many, worn out by long languishing and sorrow, have miserably ended their lives. All these matter and manifest and notorius among all the nations; they are so well proven by the weighty witness of many men that there remains no place for excuse, defence or evasion.

3. We, seeing impieties and crimes multiplied one upon another the persecution of the faithful and afflictions of religion daily growing more severe under the guidance and by the activity of the said Elizabeth -and recognising that her mind is so fixed and set that she has not only despised the pious prayers and admonitions with which Catholic princes have tried to cure and convert her but has not even permitted the nuncios sent to her in this matter by this See to cross into England, are compelled by necessity to take up against her the weapons of juctice, though we cannot forbear to regret that we should be forced to turn, upon one whose ancestors have so well deserved of the Christian community. Therefore, resting upon the authority of Him whose pleasure it was to place us (though unequal to such a burden) upon this supreme justice-seat, we do out of the fullness of our apostolic power declare the foresaid Elizabeth to be a heretic and favourer of heretics, and her adherents in the matters aforesaid to have incurred the sentence of excommunication and to be cut off from the unity of the body of Christ.

4. And moreover (we declare) her to be deprived of her pretended title to the aforesaid crown and of all lordship, dignity and privilege whatsoever.

5. And also (declare) the nobles, subjects and people of the said realm and all others who have in any way sworn oaths to her, to be forever absolved from such an oath and from any duty arising from lordshop. fealty and obedience; and we do, by authority of these presents , so absolve them and so deprive the same Elizabeth of her pretended title to the crown and all other the abovesaid matters. We charge and command all and singular the nobles, subjects, peoples and others afore said that they do not dare obey her orders, mandates and laws. Those who shall act to the contrary we include in the like sentence of excommunication.

6. Because in truth it may prove too difficult to take these presents wheresoever it shall be necessary, we will that copies made under the hand of a notary public and sealed with the seal of a prelate of the Church or of his court shall have such force and trust in and out of judicial proceedings, in all places among the nations, as these presents would themselves have if they were exhibted or shown.

Given at St. Peter's at Rome, on 27 Apr 1570 of the Incarnation; in the fifth year of our pontificate.

BreXit :The Problem With Populism

Monday 11 July 2016

Cosmopolitans

We choose to leave the European Union in this decade and do the other things NOT because they are easy but because they are HARD.

All we have to fear is....
Actually, I forget.
Never mind. Doesn't Matter.

The Great Work of this Generation begins here.

All we want to know is, Guardian -

Do you intend to HELP with THE WORK..?

You're welcome Corbett.

The Hand That Feeds

You're keeping in step

in The Line

Got your chin held high and you feel just fine

'Cause you do

what you're told

But inside your heart it is black and it's hollow and it's cold

Just how deep do you believe?

Will you bite the hand that feeds?

Will you chew until it bleeds?

Can you get up off your knees?

Are you brave enough to see?

Do you want to change it?

What if this whole crusade's

A charade?

And behind it all there's a price to be paid

For the blood

Which we dine

Justified in the name of The Holy and The Divine...?

Just how deep do you believe?

Will you bite the hand that feeds?

Will you chew until it bleeds?

Can you get up off your knees?

Are you brave enough to see?

Do you want to change it?

So naive,

I keep holding on to what I want to believe

I can see

But I keep holding on and on

and on and on...,

Will you bite the hand that feeds you?
