CULTURAL
NARCOTICS
The drug problem
today has reached crisis proportions. Not only in
America but all across the globe young people
from every class and ethnicity are falling victim
to the horrible consequences of drug addiction.
But this isn't just any drug, it's a designer poison.
American culture is far more dangerous than
cocaine or heroin yet it isn't illegal or even
regulated at all except in a handful of isolated
countries. American culture is both virulently
addictive and also extremely profitable to the
pushers and producers - the multi-billion dollar
industry of Hollywood is legendary. And if that
wasn't bad enough new markets and new
'demographics', especially in foreign countries,
are opening all the time and being polluted just
as quickly. Through the drastic effects of
television alone native cultures proudly
dating back millennia are quickly being driven to
self-extinction by the disassociate, willpower-sapping
forces of mindless sitcoms and trashy movies.
Indeed from a historical perspective TV is far
more deadly to native peoples than the combined
onslaught of smallpox, alcohol and Christianity
against native Americans 200 years ago.
Drug bosses in
Hollywood and New York use their limitless
checkbooks to bankroll crooked Presidents,
Senators, Judges even cops when it suits their
needs. So powerful are these people that entire
elections are funded and eventually decided by
their influence.
The insidiousness of
the senses deadening effects of American culture
is only now being fully understood by ordinary
people. People take notice when too many lives
are destroyed, too many friends gunned down in
their own living rooms by obesity, ignorance and
self-destructive behaviour.
The three major
cultural narcotics of choice today are:
-
Religion
-
Television
-
Money
However keep in mind
that use of one drug often leads to use of
others, even all three at once in many cases.
First in our tour of
shame is religion. Like many simple drugs
religion has been around in various forms since
history began. Many ancient cultures were built
on the ceremonial use of religion. Some scholars
even point to certain aspects of religion use
that may have been beneficial to ancient
civilizations. But the religion of old shouldn't
be confused with the new stuff being used in dens
and homes across the nation today. The religion
that sells on the streets and over the airwaves
now is nearly 100% pure poison, not like the
adulterated and poorly processed stuff that used
to be the standard.
The results of heavy
religion use are quite unpleasant. Their
willpower completely sapped, users hang out in
dens called churches run by unscrupulous, pseudo-wisdom
dispensing gurus. Using
up their money to stay in these flop-houses leaves them
both poor and in need of more enlightenment from
the guru in order to mend their broken lives,
creating a terrifying cycle of dependence.
The chemical that is
responsible for the religious 'high' effect, known
in street lingo as guilt, has been
scientifically enhanced and refined to a levels
unheard of before guaranteeing long term
addiction and plenty of return buyers.
Religion as a drug
has been waning in popularity for several decades
but the producers are aware of this and many new
flavors and varieties have sprouted trying to
take advantage of the addicts boredom and
restlessness with the old styles or religion.
Religion is a
tool to intellectually handcuff the masses for
the benefit of the leadership class.
One of the newest
and probably most potent cultural narcotic in use
today is television. The harmful effects
of television usage have been debated for years
and most people agree that it should be limited
and regulated. Indeed in most countries of the
world TV is regulated by the government.
Unfortunately this regulation takes the form of a
one station monopoly and, much like the lottery,
governments have discovered a behaviorists
fantasy come true for mass mind control. In
the capitalist sector regulation is left to the
media networks themselves and, well, let's just
say that this type of logic only works in the U$A.
So the media czars cynically self-censor their
drugs with programs like the 'V-chip' or a
ratings system that makes the MPAA look rock-solid
and consistent in comparison.
Still TV is so
fantastically profitable that no politician,
idealist or do-gooder has a prayer in standing up
to the media czars ensconced in their Beverly
hills mountain fortresses and guarded by their
private armies of lawyers.
TV as it is used
today is nothing more than a means of inculcating
ignorance into the general populace.
Money as a
cultural narcotic has reached its zenith in the
modern hyper-capitalist system of America (recently
re-named NAFTA to hinder lucid comprehension). In
the past the greatest diffuculty with using money
was that only a select few had the paraphrenalia
to consume the narcotic. For the average person
money was merely a recreational drug if they ever
saw any at all. But with the 'can-do' teamwork of
J.M. Keynes and F.D. Roosevelt 65 years ago a new
era was born: an era of "unlimited
money". Keynes realised that while
traditional cash was a rare item actually
restricted to the known physical quantities of
gold, an artificial substitute could be
manufactured that would work just as well and
could be made in unlimited amounts! Today we all
take this synthetic drug for granted as well as
all the ways it has literally changed the world.
Many economistit say it is safe and no one
disputes that it's highly effective stuff. With
the invention of the credit card money became a
drug that you could shoot-up anywhere, anytime.
Today Americans actually use more money than they
earn all thanks to the beauty of the synthetic
money drug called debt.
Scientific analysis
shows that after-effects of the synthetic money
drug debt may exist. Some have even gone
so far as to blame the Asian economic crisis of
1997 on thie consequences of synthetic money.
These questions remain unanswered but for most
people oblivious of any negative effects, the
unending money using binge continues unabated.
THE
KINGPINS
These are but three
notorious kingpins of the cultural narcotics
industry:
 |
 |
 |
| George "W'
Bush |
Steven "Jaws"
Spielberg |
Pat "PTL"
Robertson |
|
Today these powerful
pushers of pollution roam the streets with
impunity in black stretch limousines, their
influence buys them sympathy and sycophants alike.
They profit from the enslavement of addiction
through the Americanization of cultures and the
subsequent poisoning of peoples around the globe.
Furthermore it should be no surprise that all are
devout followers of the faith(s) and all three
worship at the triple altar of money, media and
monotheism.
THE
PARAPHERNALIA OF THE NARCOTIC CULTURE
SIGNS
AND SYMPTOMS
Watch for these
signs and symptoms of cultural narcotics users:
-
Monomaniacal
desire for ever increasing quantities.
-
User craving
for 'high' even at the expense of family
and friends.
-
Transmutation
of common sense in the user,
rationalization of irrational events, i.e.
the 'Americana' effect.
TV:
-
Glassy eyed
stare accompanied by slack jawed
expressions
-
Using TV
even when already 'high'. Watch for the
phrase "Nothing good is on"
while they remain motionless on the couch
flipping through channels for hours on
end.
-
Prolonged
use may erode personal and group
standards - the self-abasement effect.
Money:
-
Hoarding and
repetitive counting
-
Perverse
desire to smell and fondle cash and
change despite the fact that money sees
enough action to make any aspiring
prostitute jealous.
-
Buying money
scented air-fresheners
-
Also note
that many times extremely wealthy people
will give away large sums of money to
self created 'philanthropic' trusts both
as a tax dodge and also to assuage
lingering demons of guilt and self-loathing
that cling to all the backs of the super-wealthy.
Religion:
TREATMENT
OPTIONS
Curing the cultural
narcotics addict is a painful and unpleasant
process that generally requires forcefully
removing the user from the harmful milieu. The
problem is compounded by the fact that it isn't
enough to just cure one drug addiction, all three
must be excised from the users life, otherwise
the other two quickly fill the new void!
But good news exists in
this tragic story of the modern era. The shock of
being free from the cultural addiction means that
few former users ever go back to their old ways.
Once cured most stay free from the old chains of
mental slavery.

BACKGROUND
Once I was perusing
the shelves of one of the sad-sack Universities
I've had the misfortune to be part of, and quite
by accident I found an interesting book. Of
course this might not seem that unusual to most
but truthfully finding anything remotely useful,
intellectually stimulating or vaguely intriguing
is pretty much a challenge unto itself at this [bad name deleted] University library. Anyway it
was called Persuasive Images produced
by the Hoover Institute, and since it was big and
mostly pictures I couldn't refuse.
Persuasive Images
is all propaganda posters and artwork mostly from
WW I and WW II. According to the caption, one poster done by a Dutchman in
1943 is titled "KULTUR-TERROR" and
features a giant monster composed of all
the typical aspects of American life. One arm has
a money bag and a record, another a tommy-gun.
One leg a blood stained bomb, another from a
beauty queen. The head is a Klansmen's white hood
and the body a bird cage with black dancers and
the plaque 'Jitterbug - Triumph of America...'.
And if that wasn't scary enough the American
beast is busy stomping on the historic treasures
of Europe - cathedrals and art museums ala
Dresden or Monte Cassino, all while posing as the self-stated saviour of European culture.
Some day if I get
enough money to buy my own highway and by-way
 billboards I'd like to make giant copies of
'Kultur-Terror' superimposed over a background
picture of a waving American Flag then
paste them all over the U$. If nothing else
it would be fun just to watch the media and the Pavlovian populace having collective conniptions
until they could pass a new law banning my
billboards.
This is why the page
is titled 'Kultur-Terror' and despite being over
50 years old the poster is the best visual
typification I've yet seen of the run-amok nature
of American culture, a bizarre and unhealthy
beast with a narcotic like grip on Americans and
the world. 2001
