"I am fed up with seeing through people: its so easy, & it gets you nowhere." [The Human Province, Elias Canetti, 1973, English Edition, 1978, Sec. "1944“]

"But what does man possess that God does not have? Because of his littleness, puniness, and defenselessness against the almighty, he possesses, as we have already suggested, a somewhat keener consciousness based on self-reflection: he must, in order to survive, always be mindful of his impotence. God has no need of this circumspection, for nowhere does he come up against an insuperable obstacle that would force him to hesitate and hence make him reflect on himself. Could a suspicion have grown up in God that man possesses an infinitely small yet more concentrated light than he, Yahweh, possesses? A jealousy of that kind might perhaps explain his behavior... Hence yahweh's surprising readiness to listen to satan's insinuations against his better judgment. Without further ado Job is robbed of his herds, his servants are slaughtered, his sons and daughters are killed by a whirlwind, and he himself is smitten with sickness and brought to the brink of the grave. To rob him of peace altogether, his wife and his old friends are let loose against him, all whom say the wrong things. His justified complaint finds no hearing with the judge who is so much praised for his justice. Job's right is refused in order that Satan be not disturbed in his play." [Answer to Job, Carl Jung, 1952, Ch. 2]

"Asked about allegations that Trump held anti-Semitic sentiments, Netanyahu responded by saying that the president had been extremely positive for Israel and that he was popular in that country. “I think President Trump is the best friend of Israel, and the Jewish people, [that we’ve] ever had in the White House. He will be remembered in Jewish history, for moving the embassy to Jerusalem and recognizing Jerusalem, and recognizing the Golan Heights,” Netanyahu said. “The Jewish people still remember King Cyrus the Great from Persia that recognized Jerusalem 2,500 years ago,” he added, “so we have a long-term memory.” ... Benjamin Netanyahu compared Trump to King Cyrus last year before meeting the U.S. president at the Oval Office. The comparison has been popular among both Orthodox Jews and evangelical Christians, supporters of Trump." [Yair Netanyahu, son of Israeli leader, calls Trump a ‘real rock star’ and compares him to King Cyrus, By Adam Taylor, June 11, 2019, Washington Post] "Potentially, it (T.V.) can transform the Presidency into a monarchic dynasty. A merely elective Presidency scarcely affords the depth of dedication and commitment demanded by the T.V. form." [Understanding Media, Marshall McLuhan, 1964, Ch. Television] "If it were really the case that [* American women &] men could be deprived of their natural rights so utterly as never to have any further influence on [*political, economic & military] affairs, expect with the permission of the holders of sovereign right, it would then be possible to maintain with impunity the most violent tyranny, which, I suppose, not one would for an instant admit." [The Chief Works of Benedict de Spinoza, Vol. 1, translated/intro by R.H.M. Elwes, 1951, Theologico-political Treatise, Ch. XVII, Of The Hebrew Theocracy] [*brackets added by Tim Caffery, 2019] "... even the CIA believes that apart from the odd questionable exercise, the Mossad, except for liaison, simply does not operative actively in the United States itself. Well, they're wrong. Pollard was not Mossad, but many others actively spying, recruiting, organizing, and carrying out covert activities- mainly in New York and Washington, which they refer to as their "playground"-do belong to a special, super-secret division of the Mossad called simply Al, Hebrew for "above" or "on top." The unit is so secretive, and so separate from the main organization, that the majority of Mossad employees don't even know what it does and do not have access to its files on the computer. But it exists, and employs between 24 and 27 veteran field personnel, three as active katsas. Most, though not all, of their activity is within U.S. borders. Their primary task is to gather information on the Arab world and the PLO, as op- posed to gathering intelligence about U.S. activities. But as we shall see, the dividing line is often blurred, and when in doubt, Al doesn't hesitate to cross over it. To say it doesn't gather information on the Americans is like saying mustard is not the main course, but you do like a little on your hotdog. Say, for example, there's a senator on the arms committee who interests Mossad. Al rarely uses sayanim, but that senator's paperwork, anything happening in his office, would be important information, so an aide would become a target. If an aide was Jewish, he or she would be approached as a sayan. Otherwise, the person would be recruited as an agent, or even just as a friend, with whom to mingle and listen. The Washington cocktail circuit is very for that. Certain attachés keep track of it. There is no problem adding someone to that circuit and giving it a legitimate ring Suppose, for instance, McDonnell Douglas wants to sell US-made airplanes to Saudi Arabia. Is that a US. Issue or an Israeli issue? Well, as far as the Institute is concerned, it's Israel's business. When you have something like that in place, it's very difficult not to use it. So they do." [BY WAY OF DECEPTION, Victor Ostrovsky, 1990, Ch. 14, Only In America, p. 269]

They always KNEW that unless THEY conquered US first, they would NEVER be able to AFFORD nor Achieve the[ir] END GAME. And so, they ATTCKED US and have turned OUR own nation AGAINST US to protect & serve THEIR dream. “In rape the psychological harm usually far exceeds the physical injury. The trauma of rape, like that of combat, involves minimal fear of death or injury; far more damaging is the impotence, shock, and horror in being so hated and despised as to be debased and abused by a fellow human being.” [Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, On Killing, Revised edition, 2009, Sec. Winds of Hate] "If it were really the case that [*Wo]men could be deprived of their natural rights so utterly as never to have any further influence on [*political] affairs, expect with the permission of the holders of sovereign right, it would then be possible to maintain with impunity the most violent tyranny, which, I suppose, not one would for an instant admit." [The Chief Works of Benedict de Spinoza, Vol. 1, translated/intro by R.H.M. Elwes, 1951, Theologico-political Treatise, Ch. XVII, Of The Hebrew Theocracy] [*brackets added by Tim Caffery, 2019] "Then we must deprive him of the seeming.** For if he is going to be thought just he will have honours and gifts because of that esteem. We cannot be sure in that case whether he is just for justice' sake or for the sake of the gifts and the honours. So we must strip him bare of everything but justice and make his state the opposite of his imagined counterpart.* Though doing no wrong he must have the repute of the greatest injustice, so that he may be put to the test as regards justice through not softening because of ill repute and the consequences thereof. But let him hold on his course unchangeable even unto death, seeming all his life to be unjust though being just, that so, both men attaining to the limit, the one of injustice, the other of justice, we may pass judgement which of the two is the happier.".... For the height of injustice * is to seem just without being so. To the perfectly unjust man, then, we must assign perfect injustice and withhold nothing of it, but we must allow him, while committing the greatest Wrongs, to have secured for himself the greatest reputation for justice; and if he does happen to trip,*' we must concede to him the power to correct his mistakes by his ability to speak persuasively if any of his misdeeds come to light, and when force is needed, to employ force by reason of his manly spirit and vigour and his provision of friends and money ; and when we have set up an unjust man of this character, our theory must set the just man at his side—a simple and noble man, who, in the phrase of Aeschylus, does not wish to seem but be good.... We must tell it, then ; and even if my language is somewhat rude and brutal,'' you must not suppose, Socrates, that it is I who speak thus, but those who commend injustice above justice. What they will say is this : that such being his disposition the just man -will have to endure the lash, the rack, chains, the branding-iron in his eyes, and finally, after every extremity of suffering, he will be crucified,*' and so will learn his lesson that not to be but to seem just is what we ought to desire." [The Republic, Plato, Book 2]

"The poet is probably the man who senses what had been in order to predict what will be. Thus, he doesn't really suffer, he merely remembers; and he doesn't do anything because he first has to predict it." [The Human Province, Elias Canetti, 1973, English Edition, 1978, Sec. "1942“] "I should say that he was an old fashioned man in his respect for the Constitution and his faith in the permanence of this Union. Slavery he deemed to be wholly opposed to these and he was its determined foe." [Echoes of Harper's Ferry, James Redpath, 1860, Ch. 1: "A Plea for John Brown", Lecture by Henry D. Thoreau] "If it were really the case that [*Wo]men could be deprived of their natural rights so utterly as never to have any further influence on [*political] affairs, expect with the permission of the holders of sovereign right, it would then be possible to maintain with impunity the most violent tyranny, which, I suppose, not one would for an instant admit." [The Chief Works of Benedict de Spinoza, Vol. 1, translated/intro by R.H.M. Elwes, 1951, Theologico-political Treatise, Ch. XVII, Of The Hebrew Theocracy] [*brackets added by Tim Caffery, 2019] "For every genius you cite whose greatness seems to have sprung from a neurosis, I will undertake to cite similar acts of greatness without neurosis. Turn it around and I'll agree. A man with a touch of genius will be so likely to attack existing institutions that he'll be called unbalanced or neurotic. the only geniuses produced by the chaos of society are those who do something about it." Frazier paused, and i wondered if he were thinking of himself. "Chaos breeds geniuses. It offers man something to be genius about." [Walden Two, B.F. Skinner, 1948, Ch. 15] "THE TOUCHSTONE. A MAN there came, whence none could tell, Bearing a Touchstone in his hand, And tested all things in the land By its unerring spell. A thousand transformations rose, From fair to foul, from foul to fair; The golden crown he did not share, Nor scorn the beggar's clothes. Of heirloom jewels, prized so much, Were many changed to chips and clods, And even statues of the gods Crumbled beneath its touch. Then angrily the people cried, "The loss outweighs the profit far, Our goods suffice us as they are, We will not have them tried." But since they could not so avail To check his unrelenting quest, They seized him, saying, "Let him test How real is our jail." But though they slew him with their swords, And in the fire the Touchstone burned,- Its doings could not be o'erturned, Its undoings restored. And when, to stop all future harm, They strewed his ashes to the breeze, They little guessed each grain of these, Conveyed the perfect charm." - William Allingham [Echoes of Harper's Ferry, James Redpath, 1860]

"When two individuals interact, the "sicker" person determines the relationship. The more extreme and rigid the person, the greater hir interpersonal "pull"-the stronger hir ability to shape the relationships with others. The withdrawn catatonic, the irretrievable criminal, the compulsively flirtatious charmer can inevitably provoke the expected response from a more well-balanced "other". We meet here a lowest-common- denominator process, a Gresham's law of interpersonal collisions. Sick people control the interpersonal interaction. The "sicker" or the more maladaptively rigid, the more power to determine the nature of the relationship." [The Politics of Self-Determination, Timothy Leary] When you THINK and SEE like a poet, you GET Trump isn't selling sneakers, he is SELLING [their] SOULS, by getting them to MAKE HIM [A] PROFIT. Turning his BASE into mindless CONSUMERS, e.g. PIGS! "Of interest, furthermore, is the fact that on Monte Circeo itself stand the ruins of a Roman temple supposed to have been dedicated to Circe, the sorceress who not only transformed Odysseus' men into swine but also introduced the great voyager himself to the cavernous entrance to the Land of the Dead." [The Masks of God: Primitive Mythology, Joseph Campbell, 1991, Part 4: "..."] "CHURCH: This finds one origin in the Greek Circe, the goddess of deception who lured men into her lair and transformed them into pigs. Jordan Maxwell correctly points out that this is the same thing that is done by that which we call the physical Church. The difference is that the latter is done mostly with our consent. The actual origins of the word Church goes back to Egypt. In Scottish (Gaelic) the word for church is Kirk, a derivation of Circe. We get the words circus and circle from this goddess name also. Many "holy" cities, shrines and precincts were designed upon the circle. (See - Saint Paul's and Saint Peter's.)" [Etymology, lost original source link] "KIRK- "church," c. 1200, surviving as a northern England and Scottish dialectal word, from a Scandinavian source such as Old Norse kirkja "church" (see church (n.)).

During the deposition last October, Carroll's attorneys quoted the video to Trump then asked, "That's what you said, correct?" "Well, historically, that's true with stars," Trump replied. "It's true with stars that they can grab women by the p----?" Trump was asked. "Well, if you look over the last million years, I guess that's been largely true," Trump said. "Not always, but largely true. Unfortunately, or fortunately." "And you consider yourself to be a star?" Trump was asked. "I think you can say that, yeah," he said." [Trump, in deposition, doubles down on 'Access Hollywood' remarks about grabbing women: "Historically, that's true with stars," Trump said in the deposition in October, By Olivia Rubin & Aaron Katersky, May 5, 2023, ABC NEWS] “This is insane. This is the mark of a party, a society, a country, a people, a civilization that wants to die. Trump, alone among candidates for high office in this or in the last seven (at least) cycles, has stood up to say: I want to live. I want my party to live. I want my country to live. I want my people to live. I want to end the insanity. Yes, Trump is worse than imperfect. So what? We can lament until we choke the lack of a great statesman to address the fundamental issues of our time—or, more importantly, to connect them.” [The Flight 93 Election: The election of 2016 will test whether virtù remains in the core of the American nation. by Publius Decius Mus] "Publius Decius Mus was the pseudonym of Michael Anton, who in January of 2017 left the private sector to serve on the National Security Council.

Many races of the earth evolved their own conception of World Tree, vast as the world itself.
