They Shoot Horses,

Don't They?
This essay is dedicated to my beloved Sarah who has been an unfailing inspiration in the writing of it...

With all the euphemisms floating in the air and distorting the reality of our daily lives, one must
wonder why some Hollywood mogul has not tapped one of his script writers on the shoulder
instructing him or her to pen, at least, a comedy for all of us to cope with the Newspeak
inundating our lives. The world's third most-spoken language, for instance, could be utilized
to create a rip-roaring hour and a half of laughter instead of being exploited to deal out
politicians, fast food, and sleek automobiles. English is a meat and potatoes tongue, very
precise, yet easily malleable because of its abundant vocabulary, and these characteristics have
made English popular as a less cost, less space, less ink, less paper phenomenon. English has
incorporated many other languages into itself, and Latin and French have enormously enriched
it. Because of its extensive use throughout the world, it might very well be called the
democratic language.

Language can be knock-down. A political treatise can change History. An essay can change
public opinion. An email telling you that your love wants to forget you, can break your heart.
Language is also manipulative. It can be used fiendishly or to write a love poem. In our age,
unfortunately, it has been employed to mollify our sensibilities to conform to the notion that if
we all adapt to what Nietzsche called the herd mentality, we will come to share a worldly
togetherness based on good will, common interests, and the elimination of miserableness. To
achieve this finish, we all must be unassuming, unassertive, and conventional. Understanding
that we have been forged in a certain manner, there will be very little desire for us to express our
individuality thus making us infertile to seek some higher plane for the good of ourselves and
mankind and womankind in general.

There is one, by now, famous figurative, fatuous extenuation that one can hear almost on a daily
basis. It is the Good Book's globalization. This linguistic unit, globalization, has been
pawned off as some cure-all for the world's political, social and economic quandaries, and the
idea that being without it, implies the planet might be swamped with more conflicts than that
now exist. Globalization has even come to be considered, by goody-goody-gumdrop
journalists, as a level playing field for all peoples all over the world. The drum beats for the
benefits of globalization, and uncountable pages have been written to promote its usefulness.

As so many other politically correct maxims, globalization, too, has suffered with being
defined in schizoid terms. One point of view is the do good one that follows the jubilant hopes
of the throng who see that the alleviation of suffering is the point to having a worldwide
democracy based on a turbo capitalist model. Then the other, less heralded, even more
realistic, is the interpretation that the leading industrial nations and their grand multinational
corporations would be better off staying at home and domesticating themselves in their own
countries. Charity begins at home, said St. Paul.

There exists a perplexity for globalization and its fellow travelers: the dilemma of globalization
an attention-getting clich spawned by some sycophants (journalists) on the payroll of the
architects of financial doomis that underdeveloped nations are pilfering as taught them by
developed ones since 1601, and even better! Yes! Simply stated, underdeveloped nations,
for centuries, have endured the exploitation, mass murdering, corruption and slight-
handedness of what was once called the super powers, but today have come to be second-rate
scaredy-cats. The developing sovereign states know very well the dictates of Milton
Friedman, Friedrich von Hayek, Henry Hazlitt, Ludwig von Mises, and Adam Smithhaving
stomached their prescriptsoften misinterpreted--over centuries of victimization and horror,
and today they, these weather-beaten ones, are out for a colossal revenge that, as Nietzsche
predicted, will bring the profoundest collision of conscience, of a decision evoked against
everything that until then had been believed in, demanded, sanctified. I am not a man, I am
dynamite...our culture which confuses the artful with the rich.... Decades and decades and
decades of pain and pain and pain to come.

The shibboleth globalization then represents the at the starting gate of a revolution of
enormous proportion because it involves our entire world, and is not just set where, before, it
was set for us by those interested in setting us in their just proper places. What surprises will be
in store for Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the Johnny-come-
lately, DisUnited States! (With the territorial acquisitions strong-handedly accrued through
treaties and political and economic transactions with defeated World War II belligerents, the
DUS suddenly realized that the role of leader of the world had been uncannily foisted upon
it. It had title to more vacant worldwide lots than God's favorite real estate agents slaving away
for Vatican, Inc. Everyone in Washington was perplexed. A jurisdictional inventory, with a
planetary view, had to be effectuated post haste. Just what the DUS had inherited had to be
accounted for and documented. Data had to be accumulated. Agents had to be dispersed
overseas. A viable intelligence agency had to be constituted. The image of the Don Giovanni
spy with superhuman characteristics was mythicized to cover up the ineptitude of the fledgling
organization. History did very well in those days not because the Central Intelligence Agency
was so intelligent, but more because the CIA did not know what was really going on, and so, it
was more prone to see events progress naturally without its butting in in order to distort certain
realities. In effect, the CIA was gathering particulars to eventually reason out into a generalized
mindset.)

It does not seem to matter one iota that the industrial nations, the so-called super powers,
have sown more seeds of hate and misunderstanding than they have sown seeds of love and
understanding. Hey, business is business, no? Dog eats dog. Oh, you're going to get baskets
filled with business, and even some business is going to be shoved down your throats, too!
Just wait....

So why are underdeveloped nations so hot under the collar?

We might define Europeans as holocausters (perpetrators of genocides). All over the world,
they have left in their wake the slaughter of millions and millions of peoplecombatants and
non-combatants. In North America, Central America, South America, Africa, Asia,
Oceania...not a spot on the globe has not been bloodied by European holocausters. The
North American holocaust killed an estimated 100,000,000 Native Americansperhaps the
most extended of all holocausts. (Did I hear correctly on a BBC interview, Martin Jacques say
that the English massacred 50,000,000 Chinese during the Opium Wars? Interestingly,
Jacques, London School of Economics professor, wrote a book, When China Rules the World:
The Rise of the Middle Kingdom and the End of the Western World, and one critic has
suggested that The rise of China may well prove to be the defining economic and geopolitical
change of our time... [Niall Ferguson]). Vendetta?

The Europeans, during the 20th century, in two world wars, annihilated an estimated
200,000,000 peoplemostly of their own. One German social scientist has discovered in her
research that probably at least 800,000 European women were raped by Russian, German,
American, and British soldiers during and mostly at the end of World War II. And every 6 June,
they make us listen to the clinking aloud medals of the ancient war veterans! The uniformed
European draft-dodging nobility with their manicured fingers on The Button! The well-staged
media presentations and the pious press conferences! Has anyone thought to ask even one of
these old farts whether or not they think that their personal ritual killings were well worth the
effort in saving this world for Richard Nixon, George Bush, Tony Blair, Prince Charles, Nicolas
Sarkozy, Franois Hollande and Donald Trump? Oh, poor Western Civilization I (Europe) and
Western Civilization II (the DisUnited States of America) all floundering in the muck of their
squalid histories and fetid hypocrisies.
American holocausters arrived late to the game. They started off with being the first to twice
atom bomb innocent children and women in Japan. Then they ridded Korea of an estimated
3,000,000 individuals. Vietnam was next, where Henry The Carpet Bomber Kissinger was
an accomplice to the murdering of another 3,000,000 of the Vietnamese multitude and the
helicopter spraying of an estimated 6,000,000 acres of Vietnamese land with dioxin (Agent
Orange), that today has resulted in the nascency of hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese men
and women with debilitating birth defects. (Americans are a wonderful peopleif they are not
bombing you). And they are all, these Europeans and Americans, joined together in the
production of even more sophisticated war materiel that they sell to each one and the other
with the blessings of the Pope and the Archbishop of Canterburyalways genuflecting before
the pro-war (not pro-peace) tenets of St. Thomas Aquinas.
What are we going to do with these God-driven, self-righteous maniacs? (What ever happened
to the separation of church and state concept?) Better said, what will be done to these God-
driven, self-righteous maniacs? France serves as a very good example! A handful of terrorists
has dropped this country of 66.8 (2015) million to their kneesafraid to go out to buy bread or
go to church on Sundaysand after millions and millions of euros have been spent to catch and
put a halt to this everlasting reaction to French racism and xenophobia, not to mention the
history of French holocausting in past centuries. Let us pray for disingenuous France!
It is not that Europe is living in the Pastits Past once overflowing with both unrelenting
vainglory and inexorable ferocity and that has now come to stalk it in a modern-day time frame.
Would that it would be at least that! That Europeans could make whoopee of their Past. No! It
is worse than that. Europe is a prisoner of a Past that no longer pertains to it, yet it clutches
onto it with dear life! Oh, these wretched, disconsolate Europeans! Let us bow our heads in
prayer and, politically, correctly, bring to mind the ever-present plight of the European
continent as it staggers steeped in strangling debt, is incapable of regenerating its own self, is
greyer than a condominium gorged with Miamian Beach emeriti, and is strutting around, as
male peafowls do, in its Ferragamo footwear and holding onto, out of desperation, its Gucci
purses and handbags. Observe it apprehensively suffocating in its defence mechanism of Look
Design has by now supplanted Beautyaffright of what lies ahead for it in its forthcoming to
be. (A United Nations report has denoted that the current population of Africa,
1,200,000,000, will double to 2,400,000,000 over the coming thirty years!)
The excruciating anguish of the Europeans, clenched between a vise with its jaws of the Past
and the Present squeezing them unmercifully, is subsequently wonted to be exceedingly
debilitating for these miserable ones. Let us canvas them. These pitiably 500,000,000
residents crammed into such a jinxed continent.

Look at the piddling European men. See them cannonballing along in their elegant motorcars
which they reckon are more important than a university degree...on the front seat there is a
folded daily sports newspaper or, maybe, a football/soccer magazine...see their stunningly
dandyish alligator shoes...their spectacularly ritzy jackets...their breathtakingly recherche
wristwatches...the latest smartphones lickety-split streaming whatever they would wish to lay
hold of, and then they are off once again in a hurryalways in haste, always wasting...the
dazzlingly scrumptious aromas of their eau de toilettes...their phantasmagorical
coiffures!!!...Proud and firm is their sperm but it does not serve to preserve the European
breed...Note them in their atmospherically perfect gyms with the proper shades of illumination
and the most agreeable fragrances imaginable drifting into the air...their sweaty bodies are
lined up in rows on their indoor exercise bikes...their bald heads glistening as if they were
polished apples racked in the fruit section of a supermarket...their bulging muscles made up of
body building supplements including vitamins, glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, carbohydrate
and protein powders, protein shakes, creatine, prohormones and who knows what...their coup
d'oeils and spry glimpses at the mirrors surrounding them and their vain attempts to reinforce
the notion that they are really where they arenot for what reason...Let's go to the
football/soccer stadium to visualize them there...stuffed one over the other in hordes, they free
rein their hatreds with their crypto-fascist, racist, anti-Semitic violent roars and all-together
ferocious chants and gestures while their arms gesticulate rampantly and rampageously...the
stadium remains their lonesome point to congregateno one here attends church any more,
but all will riot on behalf of their popes who have been trimmed down to politically and
economically influential media presences...anything that gives them grit to rebel and
loathe...souls lost in the nothingness of their Past.
And now the women! Have you ever seen so many living things so elegantly neatened, with
their noses towering up, up, up and away, and their sashayingson their jaunts to the uppity
beauty centers and deluxe fashion shopsturning everyone's eyes their ways! Look how soft
these snobs' skin is...it is protected by micro-flex formulae...I know one woman who uses a
different, fortified hand cream for her little fingers and thumbs because they are exposed to the
elements more than her other fingers!...these gals have no body odors because they use extra-
delicate and extra sensitive anti-perspirants...if you get a whiff of them you think you might be
in a Geneva pharmacy...their facial foundations offer full coverage and anti-ageing lifting
qualities that guarantee a perfect regeneration...in addition, they use skin perfecting creams,
double-lifting agents and purifying masks when they take their beauty sleeps...their fingernails
are immaculately sculptured...I've seen the thumb nails of one Italian woman with mini
portraits of the Baby Jesus and Mary on them!...they regularly seek dermo-expertise and, you
can be sure that they are fighting with all their might to stop the testing of their olfactive
ointments on animals!

Why should so many participate in this delirium? This narcissist jerking back into the Self
serves as an unconscious process carried into action to thwart the onslaught of our Society
gone berserk, yet the psychic stress is so overpowering, many individuals cope solely by
indulging themselves in the excesses of alcohol, licit and illicit drugs and medicines, food
products, ad infinitumnot to mention that they are constantly running to reassert their
physical beingness by re-reflecting it in a mirror or electronic gimmick! Should it be so
surprising, then, that United Nations' statistics divulge an on-going evolution of suicidal
tendencies throughout the world? These are the symptoms of a civilization in decline, and it is
not the first time that this slow downsloping has blotted human History, yet never before with
as many partakers implicated. Are we at the onset, on the crust, of The Age of Suicide?

The negationby Western Civilization I and Western Civilization IIof their Pasts, long
sublimated into the deep recesses of their nightmarish memories, set fragmented by the
betweens of a slam-bang History and the textbook page flicks to run through that History,
and abandoned to the winds of change and the obsession to carry on at all costs, has come now
to reverberate in the haunting subconsciousnesses of these wretched human beings devoid of
their humanness and the merest, minimum sense of righteousness.

Just listen to this laundry list of Italian sufferanceItaly evermore proud of being the
mastermind of this disease called Western Civilization that needs to be restored to health,
but has not the strength or emotional will to begin to do so: 56% of the Italian population
possesses a high school diploma...20% of the Italian population exceeds the age of 65...Italy
has one of the last-place birthrates in the world...Italian universities are a national disgrace.
(One United States ambassador)...Italy is last in Europe for the number of women (11%) in
managerial positions...Italian women are the most violent in Europe ( ! )...30% of Italian boys
and girls aged 15-19 left school in 2012...50% of bank robberies in Europe take place in
Italy...Italy's economic growth since 1990 is the lowest in Europe...48% of Italians between
the ages of 30-34 live with their parents...50% of Italian university students do not finish their
studies...45% of Italian business managers read a daily newspaper...In the 1970s, Italy was at
the top third place for tourist presence. Today it is fifth...There are 23,000 buses in Italy
(2016). 47% of them are older than 18 years.

You might agree that the North Americans have been really thickheaded for more than two-
hundred years, while the Europeans have been really, really thickheaded for more than two-
thousand years. Will someone please tell me how Italy, with a history, a culture more than two-
thousand years old could still not know how to manage an airline? What is their problem? That
a sleek car is more important than a university degree? What has driven them to this level of
stupidity? Dogs, cats, and pigs know how to regenerate their races. Italians, no! And listen,
Americans, there are millions and millions in Southern Europe, where 50% of that population
holds a high school diploma, where most of them will tell you that they are higher-ranking than
you because their football/soccer teams are topnotch, and because, hold on!, they use The
Bidet! Yes, the anuses of Southern Europeans are the cleanest in the world! Next...
It really is best for Americans not to be able to speak foreign languagesso they do not have to
endure this do-or-die, silly b******t.

This Civilization of Dummies (Andr Glucksmann, French philosopher: The Italians are the
most entertaining buffoons living on a continent that does not have a brain in its head.) who
vote to elect criminals to their parliaments, and then shed crocodile tears when they are
cheated...This Epitome of Fake News...This Eternal Bluff...This everlasting Burden of
Guilt...Let the world be free of this fright so that all of us might progress and vivify ourselves...

Will someone please shoot Western Civilization

and relieve it of its misery?

They shoot horses, don't they?
