Oklahoma City, the site of the outrage perpetrated by clandestine Luciferian Masonic (CLuM) Wizard Timothy "Macbeth" McVeigh, is located at the intersection of U.S. Highway 77 and U.S. Route 66.

Consider the following:
7 + 7 + 6 + 6 = ( 7 + 6 ) + ( 7 + 6) = 13 + 13 = 26
The number 13 is the most Masonically correct number,
whereas 26 is equivalent to the Hebrew name of God in Gematria: IHVH, I = 10, H = 5, V = 6, H = 5; 10 + 5 + 6 + 5 = 26
The god of the CLuMs is considered by them to possess the good qualities of the Christian God and the bad qualities of Satan. Their master, Lucifer/Satan, is composed of a "lucky" 13 and an "unlucky" 13; 13 + 13 = 26.

Brethren, beware of Contemporary Christian Music. It is the blind and carnal leading the blind and carnal down a path of delusion and error and into the arms of the one world apostate, end-times "church."

One Half Of A Manifesto
By Jaron Lanier

The distance between recognizing a great metaphor and treating it as the only metaphor is the same as the distance between humble science and dogmatic religion. During the last twenty years a stream of books has gradually informed the larger public about the belief structure of the inner circle of Digerati, starting softly, for instance with Godel, Escher, Bach, and growing more harsh with recent entries such as The Age of Spiritual Machines by Ray Kurtzweil....

There is a real chance that evolutionary psychology, artificial intelligence, Moore's Law fetishizing, and the rest of the package, will catch on in a big way, as big as Freud or Marx did in their times. Or bigger, since these ideas might end up essentially built into the software that runs our society and our lives. If that happens, the ideology of cybernetic totalist intellectuals will be amplified from novelty into a force that could cause suffering for millions of people....

The greatest crime of Marxism wasn't simply that much of what it claimed was false, but that it claimed to be the sole and utterly complete path to understanding life and reality. Cybernetic eschatology shares with some of history's worst ideologies a doctrine of historical predestination. There is nothing more gray, stultifying, or dreary than a life lived inside the confines of a theory. Let us hope that the cybernetic totalists learn humility before their day in the sun arrives.

Virtual reality pioneer Jaron Lanier says computers are too dumb to take over the world.
By Damien Cave

Lanier's upstart argument yields a uniquely here-and-now version of computer science ethics and an entirely different, but equally frightening form of what Lanier calls "Bill's version ... of the Terror."
He's lost his faith in computers and, like a present-day Nietzsche, he'd like the rest of the world to recognize that this 21st century God is dead.

"As many post-structuralists argue, the individual who goes beyond the structures by which others govern themselves steps into an abyss, since all our learning is focussed on mastering the structures. There one encounters freedom, but at the price of losing the advantages of the system. Artaud felt that his body was appropriated by God, and that in recovering the full presence of the original moment of theatre, he could reappropriate his body and experience the communion with sacredness, without God. The theatre that he posited in order to accomplish this cannot be realized, for there is no origin without a past, nor a moment without a repetition, nor presence without absence.
In the madness to which Artaud succumbed, Derrida can read a case study of the effects of Western culture and thought as the mise en scène of madness. Allen Thiher concludes that, "in encountering Artaud, Derrida makes more than clear the Nietzschean origins of a thought that must exalt in the play of the same - at the risk of otherwise going mad" (Thiher 508). If Western metaphysics and Western theatre are akin to a plague, Artaud suffers the physical symptoms as his body fights the infection, and the apparently healthy cannot be assured that they too do not suffer from the ubiquitous effects of this social disease. In representation, the chronic and terminal condition of the disease becomes apparent, and Artaud can only dream of the closure which could occur on the stage in the moment of presence, the moment of gesture, the moment of cruelty."

A touching story from Lingua Franca's archives:
Death Of An Altruist Was The Man Who Found The Selfless Gene Too Good For This World?
by James Schwartz

Despite his remarkable scientific achievements and the intense drama of his personal life, George Price has remained a relatively obscure figure in the history of science. And yet he played a key role in shaping the conceptual basis of sociobiology and its offshoot, evolutionary psychology

"While our politicians were, for the most part, prosaic in reacting to the former prime minister's death, or just plain pedantic (Stockwell Day), petty (Lucienne Bouchard), partisan (Joe Clark), self-centred (Brian Mulroney) or boorish (Mike Harris), ordinary Canadians were poetic and extraordinarily eloquent in capturing the essence of Trudeau and his meaning for Canada."

"The send-off, not scripted in advance but cobbled together as a compromise between the family's desire for privacy and the public's need to express itself, was as spontaneous and heartfelt as John Diefenbakers's was choreographed and contrived.
Not since the unfurling of the flag or the staging of Expo '67 have we experienced such scenes of communal bonding.
They reminded us of a Canada that was and can perhaps still be."

THE SORT OF MAN MOST OF US WOULD WANT TO BE
George Radwanski

He succeeded, to an amazing extent, in moulding himself into just the sort of man most of us would want to be.
