The Protocols of the Elders of CTHULHU XIV. Replacement Religion

Posted on | February 18, 2010 | 3 Comments

by Smitty (INTRODUCTION)

Across the table, the African leader was shown to a chair covered in some leather. He briefly saw the seat, a remarkably human-looking face stretched into an expression of shock and terror, before the African was seated, blocking the view. The arm rests were covered in arms, ending in all-too-realistic hands.

The speaker looked at the light, then touched below the front corner of the table when his movement took him there next. Had he deviated even slightly from his pattern to move there? The level of control of the meeting was astounding. The fact that a light bulb in the overhead had gone out seemed a phenomenal slip.
Why this seemingly minor loss of control should seem so significant can only be attributed to the madness being brought on by this endless meeting, stuck in a room with eleven remaining living victims, wondering how this possibly would end.
The squid in the fishbowl seemed to move its mantle in a tiny circular motion.
The door opened, and another functionary entered, as the speaker droned on about the topic of religion.

“Religion, for whatever reason, is among the oldest, most widespread, and ultimately challenging obstacles we face.
We do relish the challenge, however. Broadly, Oriental thought is significantly easier to work with. As long as the subject thinks the action is a karmic win, anything goes. Asian cultures, perhaps as a function of population density, seem to understand the need to succumb to our will more readily than others.
Occidental thought, not so much. These faiths that focus on indivduality and lack the refreshment of reincarnation seem to make people less mallable.
We have made much progress in modern times with high-yield explosives and through the use of literature that attacks the basic human instinct for self preservation.
Broadly, attacks on culture have been immensely successful.

In countries know as progressive and enlightened we have created a senseless, filthy, abominable literature.

That societal decay function, combined with our academic attacks, especially the social sciences, has been an effective wrecking ball for the Occidental spirit.”

    I watched the History of Singapore last night. I loved watching the leaders of the ruling PAP, such as Lee Kwan Yew, (who have had a supermajority in Singapore since independence in the sixties and who have never dropped more than 60% in general polling). The follow on prime minster, Goh Chok Tong after LKW, talked about the PAP hatred of public welfare (think public entitlements). He said let that take root in Singapore and after two elections the country would be ruined. There is public housing, but the goal is private ownership of the units by the people living in them (which does not result in decline as we see in Europe and America). Singapore Airlines was intially financed by the government, but the goal was to be fiscally sound and it was made clear that the government would not finance a losing enterprise.

    And who could forget Singapore dealing with a certain juvenile delinquent with a bamboo cane. Ahhh yes, how many problems could we solve by dealing with misdemeanor crimes with that fix. Cruel and unusual you say? My ass as Michael Fey would say.

    Hmmmm. Obviously some of LKY tactics would not be acceptable in the USA (unless of course he was a leftist, then they would turn a blind eye)–but the PAP made it clear that they stay in power because they delivered 40+ years of economic growth and properity to the city state.
