A militant INDEPENDENT democratic socialist's attempt to expose the truth of our culture – in all its rich irony and absurdity.

Is the human adventure ending ?
We will realize -perhaps too late - that the most important
" news " lately is not the front page stuff, the war against terrorism,
the wickedness of one Mayor Vincent " Buddy " Cianci, the sex-lives of
the rich and famous. All that matters,of course, if the FUTURE can be
counted on to be not much different from the past.
The most important news is that our garden flowers may soon
evolve into " weeds " as a consequence of global warming. And global
warming is a FACT -not just politically correct hysteria. And global
capitalism cannot go on in the same old way - MORE AND MORE OF MORE AND
MORE - without an ecological catastrophe.
And overpopulation means that the flower of humanity -our
real hope for the future - will also become as weeds in the fields.
Our children will live as weeds of decay on a decaying
planet. Imagine a future Pope exhorting the desperate poor of Mexico,
or Africa, or India : KEEP THE BAMBINOS COMING !
Most pathetic of all are the best and the brightest who
think they can ignore the fate of the whole world while planning a
lucrative career in investment banking. A MASTER OF BUSINESS in a
world now best described by H.P.Lovecraft. All they can hope for in
the end is a room of " Cool Air " !
The tired face of the Pope is not just human waning. It is
a symbol of millennial exhaustion. The same incantations, the same tired
words of the ancient Holy Book.... the sacred rituals ... have lost
their magic against the Demon Cosmos.
Dark Matter will soon triumph. The Black Hole is opening.
The Divine Light is spent.... " Our Father who art in Yaganath.. "
