Since our media works 24/7 to serve their corporate interests, it's up to bloggers to try to find creative ways to persuade Americans that they're on a path to self-destruction.

And how do we find creative ways? Well, for one thing, we must consider our culture, and how it imprisons us.

Every group of people has a “story,” or a myth, or a dream they live by. The myth determines what facts the people notice, and are willing to consider. It determines their style of morality, and how they think about most things in life. The American myth is wrapped up in exceptionalism, which is identical to the Zionist myth. Most Jews consider themselves superior to all other people who have ever lived, and ever will live. Americans do too, which is one reason why Zionists own the USA. Average Americans and Israelis regard themselves as champions of democracy. Their delusion has no basis in reality, but the myth of exceptionalism remains, and suffuses everything in American / Israeli life, down to small details. Under the myth of “exceptionaism,” Americans / Zionists are "unique," and therefore have a right and a duty to enslave the world.

Americans and Zionists need an “enemy.” Yesterday it was Russia, Today it is Iran. Tomorrow it will be South America or some other place. Without an “enemy,” Americans and Zionists don’t know what to do.

Facts are irrelevant to myth. For example, it is a fact that intervention always leads to more intervention, since the first intervention leads to unforeseen and uncontrollable consequences, which are used to justify further intervention. That intervention leads to still more unforeseen consequences, which are used as justification for still further intervention. The process goes on indefinitely, and the consequences are always disastrous – but it doesn’t matter, since the American and Zionist mind is controlled by myth, not by logic or facts.

The desired outcome of war cannot be dictated, no matter how big our army, since there are too many complex factors involved. Nonetheless, under the spell of myth, Americans repeat things over and over, insisting that this time will be different, and it will finally work. This process continues forever, because the myth is in control.

The American myth has always been violent. Once the Europeans committed themselves to living in North America, they slaughtered the natives, stole their land, and enslaved Blacks for the next two and a half centuries. The American / Zionist myth is based on war, and a struggle for dominance. If Americans have no convenient enemy “out there,” they will create one “in here.” As soon as they run out of frontiers, they turn against each other and become “autophagic” (self-consuming). In times of peace, they batter and kill each other on the slightest pretext, or for the simple pleasure of doing so, with guns, knives, and bare hands.

Such a violent people are easily led to war. They sacrifice reason to faith and authority, in a process that no society can undergo and remain free. Yet Bush is proud of this madness, as is most of the American population. Most Americans and Zionists believe that, as a whole, they are on a mission from God, and that faith trumps empirical evidence. They condemn the "reality-based" community. They insist on delusions, whether they are atheists or religious fanatics. They are proud of their ignorance of history. They flatter their vanity and self-worth above every relevant fact.

The American / Zionist myth is Manichaean – it sees the universe is a battleground between Good and Evil. “We” are always good. “They” are always evil. “Terror attacks” are part of this cosmic conflict between Good and Evil, rather than outcomes of political processes. If this model breaks down, the masses cling to it all the more. “Christian” Zionists yearn for things to become even worse so they can be “raptured.”

The “good versus evil” myth makes Americans divide up into “us” versus “them,” “liberals” and “conservatives, Republicans and Democrats, etc. Things would be better if “our side” were in charge.

Thus, most Americans are fundamentalists, whether they agree with religion or not -- and fundamentalists are anything but democratic. They are prone to tribalism and groupthink, as all peoples are, yet Americans fancy themselves free of delusion, and are therefore the most deluded people of all. Rarely has there been a civilization so warlike, yet so insistent that it “loves peace.” Americans name their Colt .45 the “peacemaker.” They name their ICBM missile the “MX Peacemaker.” Of course, “peace” means control through violent domination. (It is the same for Zionists.)
If the USA had gone into Iraq, swiftly kicked a lot of ass (what's one more genocide, after all?), and established even a minimally effective, brutal colonial government, the American public would be proud of its criminal aggression. Most Americans have turned against the war because they have been humiliated.

Advertisers and politicians assure us that we are the richest, most envied people on Earth, and we believe it, despite the fact that we become poorer every day. Were it not so, the nightmare could never have gotten this bad.

Under this delusion, the American masses are now fully prepared for the final slide into dictatorship. They will put the chains on themselves. Many already have, and can't wait to put the chains on everyone else, especially on the "troublemakers."

Nobody consciously believes these things, but subconsciously the myth remains. It causes most Americans to have a childish vision of America that is still noble if flawed, and still capable of being fully redeemed, if only the “right” people were in power.

This is the American “story.” It is a mythology that underlies all our discourse, and is superor to all facts. Anything that does not fit our story is ignored, or dismissed through various strategems.

Once a story is embedded in the national psyche, it cannot be dislodged. Even torture is acceptable if we practice it --because it serves the myth. We torture in the name of “liberty.”

We are on a mission from God to enslave the world. The more we do this, the more virtuous we become. Those who are not rich are not virtuous. They are subhuman by choice. We must improve them by invasion, bombing, and enslavement, since they might "threaten us" at some future time. Yes, we kill innocent civilians, but those who survive will be better off than they would have been otherwise. Besides, nobody on “their side” is innocent anyway. They are backward and evil. They are inferior races. Might makes right. Technology means morality. Other peoples must be enslaved to make them free. When in doubt, nuke ‘em.

FINE, WHAT’S YOUR SUGGESTION?

I’m saying that facts and logic probably won’t sway the average American We’re dealing with dreams, not reality. We need better dreams. We need to ask whether or stories are creative or destructive. Do they encourage a reverence for life, or do they cause us to dismiss others if they are "different," or obstruct our own desires?

Most American movies are about crushing the Other. Very few celebreate the excitement of the Other, or see the Other as the key to liberation. And so we have the same tired garbage over and over. Everyone longs for something new and different, yet most people attack that which is new and different.

Does this mean we should accept homosexuals, for example? Sorry, but homosexuals are not new and different. They are not the Other. They play the same American game of pummeling anyone who questions them. They are at war with hetoerosexuals. They too are exceptionalists, in that they don’t want equal rights; they want special rights. They are the flipside of anti-homosexuals. Both share the same myth of war. Both are in the “us versus them” mindset. What we need is celebrations of “us” and “them.”

What we need are celebrations of difference, since difference is the only escape from the same tired trap.
What kind of stories anger Zionists and the average Americans the most? Is it stories where “our side” loses? No, what enrages most people are stories that portray alien peoples as valuable and interesting. For instance, you may talk about Hitler, but if you suggest that the Nazis were human, you will be attacked.

Here at WUFYS, much time is spent analyzing the Zionist threat, but little time is spent exploring what it means to be an Iraqi, an Egyptian, an Iranian, etc. Why should we care about this? Simply because those who are different are liberating.

Have you looked at “jihadist” web sites, or web sites run by various Palestinian resistance groups? Their artwork and web design are extremely high quality. Most of all they are different. I get excited just looking at them, irrespective of politics.

In searching for creative ways to persuade other Americans, we must think outside ourselves and our culture. This is not easy. I’ve seen fabulous posters from the Soviet Era, and I’ve tried to do own posters in a similar fashion, but I continually find myself sliding back into my old mindset.

How do we arrive at creative alternatives? We can’t just dream them up out of thin air. The human mind doesn’t work that way. Instead, we must explore how other cultures approach things. Even if we can’t read foreign languages, it is worthwhile to cruise foreign web sites to see how they’re laid out. Anyone who can read foreign languages has glimpsed the dynamic void between one langauge and another, a void in which anything is possible.

Most people who post at WUFYS discuss the evil of Zionists, bankers, warmongers, and other slime. This is valuable, but people must do more. How? I recommend listening to a favorite song, or looking at something foreign, or examining web sites you never go to, and then writing a post.

Of course, if we become too wild, we risk being misunderstood. Nonetheless, the pursuit of genuinely creative approaches is interesting in itself. Most of our attempts will fail, or seem “lame,” but true creativity requires the courage to keep trying, yes?

CNN and FOX will host a joint tribute to the planned baby of OJ and Britney in a six hour long special this weekend. OMG!!!!
