Chapter 20.
To Fulfill Prophecies
Wanna hear something funny? Tough. So do I, but it seems everytime I turn on the television or go online, someone's figured out something new before I had a chance to dream it up and predict it was going to happen anyway. Usually I just go into a mad paranoid state of mind and watch the news, especially the little scroller thingies most people tend to ignore at the bottom of the screen. That's where all the juice is.
So here's what's happening. The ruler of the most powerful nation on Earth (or atleast they kept telling you in their movies since the 40's till you actually ended up believing it) has changed the colour of his skin but his kin remains the same. You may call it the best way to shut their entire public up for atleast another four years, but I call making a black man president an even more backward step than most ignorant white people care to draw attention to. Isn't it a very crude form of reverse racism when you call it progress just because a BLACK man runs the country now instead of perhaps an ABLE one?
These next four years are going to see the worst off record wars being fought between nations we've ever had the chance to NOT know about. None of the hands ruling this planet are going to let the world forget another 50 years from now what happened the last time they let a Democrat win the US election. Either that, or they'll just change whatever it was that a democratic party stood for in terms of values over the past 30 years. I suppose people have to find some sort of solace in the fact that they chose their president through a systematic fair voting system, forgetting that the final two contenders were chosen BY corrupt hands in the first place.
I've never seen a campaign spent on the way this lavish Obama Drama was treated. Just another reason to get out of the house and hold hands, convincing yourself you're contributing to history. Did anyone really think he wasn't going to be sitting in that chair today? They grilled him for his first hundred days. Can't remember if they treated Bush the same way, but expecting the ROOKIE to make visible "YES WE CAN" changes to the disaster his predecessors left behind in a mere 3 and a half months is asking a bit much even for the Americans. Guess the best they want to remember from this so called change is the day thousands of them stood in the same spot to see history being made. Almost like you truly believe your entire history isn't being shaped even now in a small room by a man with a pen, a vivid imagination and a lot of ideas involving the deaths of millions of people he'll never have to run into personally.
If great people have always come along and evidently CHANGED history...why does it keep repeating itself?
Jay Leno cracked a joke on his show recently. Forgetting what it was now, I remember focusing on the crowd's reaction at the time. They stifled their laughter. The joke was on ex president Bush, and it turns out they don't feel like laughing at him anymore. Atrocities committed by the States globally under his reign are yesterday's news. Let's poke fun at the Afro. He's the one who has to take the blame for the blindness of his people for the next four years. Sometimes I think that's the only reason democratic nations even exist anymore. The public likes choosing one person to be the face of all their actions and opinions as a people. That way, even if the whole world hates you, you know it's because of the guy in the chair, and eventually he'll move off as well.
And now, Pakistan. Proud owner of a regular slot on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart. I guess the most intelligent way to let a Jewish man use the media to decide what global issues are truly important WOULD be to have that man be a self confessed agnostic. Too bad all the pundits disappear conveniently for Thanksgiving when Israel starts bombing Palestine. But THIS must be the big story. Out of control radicals may have access to nuclear missiles in PK. Suddenly nothing bad seems to be happening anywhere but here. I realise this as a woman dressed in a suit on CNN keeps a very lighthearted tone in her voice as she's taught to during pieces on hope and inspiration and things like a 6 year old girl showing signs of becoming the next Da Vinci with her watercolour set. Only this time she uses the same voice to tell us about two men in Greece (another European country where apparently bad things haven't happened since Caesar) who escaped a maximum security penetentiary for the second time like those bald dudes from PRISON BREAK. I guess it's heartwarming when a couple of Europeans challenge authority and break the system, even if they ARE convicted felons.
Guess it isn't ok when a terrorist-skinned group of Pakistanis deny accusations that they're in cahoots with Al Qaeda. It's a damn life sentence.
We're being asked, very steadily, to start putting all our faith in science now. Smarter countries do it subtly. A crop circle here, an unexplained broken wind turbine there. Again...AAJ TV in Pakistan tries to do the same thing and they instantly lose their credibility as a news channel forever in our eyes. They report a 4 inch tall alien life form that was pelted to death by 6 year old Punjabi hands. An autopsy WAS going to be performed on this marvel discovery, but conveniently, the bomb blast in Lahore seemed to take away every single surgeon's attention away from proof of alien life. Had AAJ not completely made that crap up, a single slice from a scalpel would tell us that the 4 inch item on the screen was a rubber doll someone had set on fire.
Sadly...when that UFO DOES appear, you'll all fall for it easier than I fall for gorgeous women who can sing.
It's the way of the future, people. Now we have the fossil of a monkey man with a huge tail finally proving that we did infact descend from simians. Guess we were ready for it. If only Darwin was alive to see the same fossil people he never believed existed actually placed in some shoddy place within Germany to begin with. Now it should start becoming a little easier to come to grips with the new belief system. Where man becomes the new God. Just far enough to reach the point where he's ABOUT to create matter from non matter, and then the Big Guy pulls the plug. It's probably smarter to have only one God around anyway. Less confusion that way. Fewer options to fight for power.
I once walked into a bank to cash a cheque. Yes, really, just once. Where standing in line, a backward thinking Maulvi type dude had the audacity to tell me it's buggered to be wearing shorts. I would immediately have gone into a conversation about how these are known as '3 quarters' to anyone not ignorant enough to have a bank account in a place that offers interest, but I realised his intention was not to set me straight, but to either pass the time till his turn came up the only way he knew how...OR...to use me as a vector to go off onto some little temporary recruitment run where the rules state that if you manage to gather enough people into a circle of useless apes just listening to you rant about what you believe is right or wrong, you win. I told him politely that he wasn't winning any wars in this life or gaining a nice spot in the next one by saying what he was saying. I told him perhaps it's an alien concept to some, but many people in this world prefer to be considered spiritually closer to whats inside their hearts and souls instead of the length of their beards and the strength of their over excessively used non alcoholic fragrances.
Fighting ignorance with ignorance, I rudely told him that one of the signs of the Day of Judgement as foretold by his own religious scriptures, is that men will openly lay with other men, and the dreaded first step is staring at a man's legs, so he should fucking quit it. Since really, there's so many better things to be doing in line at a bank.
Like finding a woman behind some desk and staring at HER legs.
It's not ok. It's not ok and it sure as hell isn't fair that a man who prays so religiously and damn near VIOLENTLY that his head has a spot of dead fuckin' skin in the center, gets to tell me I'm doing things wrong when I'm the one who bows my head down in respect of women and he keeps on staring at some chick in sleeveless clothes (which is an EVENT to some of these cretins) because he knows he can catch the Maghrib shuttle to God's bosom later that evening, and everything will be ok again.
It's not fair that these corrupt bastards have given themselves a convenient way out of all the mess they get themselves into by praying one damn holy night in the year and immediately starting the rape and pillaging of entire nations and communities and people the next day, as long as they make sure they speak God's name right before the bullet hits em'. They hide behind long beards and white clothes like a fat man wears a black shirt to make sure no one notices his armpit stains, only to have em' dry off hours later and leave that wierd white saltish looking shit behind. The kind you take a look at, and suddenly feel saliva gushing into your mouth like someone opened a damn faucet in your throat before you're about to vomit.
Funny how some of these people are so backward, they're closer to being naked than the ones wearing 3 quarters to beat the heat. Its where one of our oh so many problems lie. As Pakistanis, no one has a damn thing to do in this country anymore except pick at other people. Everyone in this country is out to save souls. None of them starting with their own. Well, these would be God lovers aren't going to take me down to hell WITH them. They're better off spending time BELIEVING in him instead of BECOMING him if you ask me.
Aah swine flu. Was there ever a more opportune time to create an epidemic that fully supports Muslim philosophy in order to get more mileage out of the fear created by it? It's like the biohazardous equivalent of rumours that Neil Armstrong heard the sound of Islamic prayers when he landed on the moon. Oh, fuck off. My God these people get so orgasmic thinking about the Creator, a few well placed words and it's easier than ANYTHING to control them.
Lying's become so easy now. We have more than a million displaced people from a made up war that's killed fewer soldiers on both sides than civilians caught in the middle. Problem is that more people outside the borders care about these refugees than you or I do. Sure we talk about how these fanatics are making this country a hell hole, sure we post out opinions about the lack of basic human rights in this country up on a useless blog that no one reads, but everytime we look at them and say this is what we're headed towards if we for instance move to Shariah law, we take a step backwards ourselves. Too scared of letting go of all our modern luxuries. Apparently, as the song would suggest...I want my fucking MTV.
A man who could've switched places with another one atleast 5 times by now, claims to be the leader of these Islamic radicals. Baitullah Mehsud. Sounds like something a talentless J R R Tolkien fan coughed up. Security demands that he never show his face on camera, which makes him even harder to find than that Bin Laden guy we're forgetting about since his reign of terror was harsher during another era. Current events worldwide are like a badly written tv series...the season changes...and they remove old characters to make room for new ones. The good guys change and so do the bad guys. But the viewers stay just as loyal as they ever have been, long as the special effects in the next season promise to go UP a notch.
Masses destroy this planet. Not the corrupt people leading them. It's sad but true. Masses have the ability to overthrow their leaders and change the face of the Earth in a fucking week. The unfortunate thing?
They need to come together as brothers and sisters. And that ain't happenin' because as soon as somebody up top sees their people being hospitable to another race, they'll start a psychological war by bombing an embassy somewhere using a terrorist of the same skin tone. Partially also because SISTER in most underdeveloped parts of this country is just a six letter word. The meaning of which is highly debated by men who live in villages and just aren't attracted to their pets anymore.
It's all around us. But instead of shrugging it off when we see a beautiful piece on some Mexican family's struggle, we actually get suckered into focusing on how Mexican people are really nice, instead of focusing on why they're suddenly being shown the kind of tolerance no one cared to show em' 2 decades ago. It's just not their time to be under the heel anymore. It's us for a while. And NO one seems to care.
Artists should probably lead the world. But they'll never fight for power, and people only come together under bloody flags and fake promises. Hence current ruling powers around the globe. They use people's own aggression against them. Agression caused by the same rulers that create financial crises, famine, war, disease, and crime with the push of a button or the signing of a paper. Everytime the world shows signs of coming together and working with or for one another, the guys on top smash everything to bits using techniques now probably over 20 thousand years old. Empires have always gained strength through the desperation of the people belonging to them, and there's no reason it should ever change. We're just smaller criminals led by bigger ones. Each time we take the crap we see on tv at face value without delving into it's meaning more seriously keeping past centuries or coming ones in mind, we pound one more nail into the coffin we're burying this planet in.
We're overdue on another world war too. They'll tell you made up facts for so long that by the time the first nuke is launched, you'll believe it was YOUR decision to have launched it. They don't need to justify their actions when their puppets will do it FOR them. In my opinion, it's easier to fulfill prophecies that HAVE been written down in holy books...that way the people who believe in these things (making up most of the world's population) will be MORE than ready to accept even the most horrible of things happening. Whereas in a progressive civilised society some things should never be allowed to happen, the one WE live in will resort to the age old "Allah Maalik Hai" theorem as a means to comfort themselves long enough to just ignore everything.
Faith. It kills man's only reason to think rationally about the problems in the world around him.
For the past 2 years...the National Geographic and the Animal Planet seem to keep hinting that many species of animals like elephants and apes which have always been known to behave rather peacefully, suddenly seem to be going a little berserk. Now I'm not sure...but it seems to me the beginnings of trying to make man come to grips with yet another evil we intend to indulge ourselves in over the next 40 years...taking over their land. I'm supposed to be scared of elephants now because it'll make it easier for me to justify killing most of em' when this vile creature known as the human being fucks its way into a population explosion the likes we've never seen. I'll take a shot. "The Wildlife Rehabilitation Act"?
If you're an animal rights activists today, be warned. You keep showing love for these fuckers much longer, you're treacherous terrorists tomorrow.
Better start asking yourself this question. When's the last time you saw a bit of news on the television which DIDN'T make you think, "Ah, I KNEW this was going to happen."
Wanna know why you knew? Because the men and women controlling the history of the world don't need to try so hard any more. Hollywood has made most things easy to believe now. So if you hear about a comet headed our way tomorrow, don't panic, it's just population control. I don't believe anything I see anymore. You'd best do the same.
As for me? I sit at home trying to make something of my own life, because I'm learning to be just as selfish as the rest of mankind. Baby steps. And even though OUTSIDE the home is probably the best place to start, I just don't think I'm mentally prepared to be the pacifist I've been all these years anymore. I find myself wanting to say things to that guy with the leg fetish at the bank that he's not ready to hear regarding his approach to his beliefs. I need some time to come to grips with the fact that before 2013, this world is going to see things that'll shock many, but surprise very few. Instead I guess I also find myself wishing I believed in statistics strongly enough to fill these writings with what people refer to as FACTS. I've always been an airheaded spiritual clown that way. You shouldn't even bother reading this...no one else is. Not apart from people in the research department at the headquarters of some super secret society whose job is to primarily read up on people's predictions and make sure global events unravel in a completely contrary way. I believe they exist. So strongly that I type whack shit most of the time in the mere hope they'll go the opposite route of what I say and accidentally create world peace.
Lodhi ONE. Illuminati ZERO.
