House of Paine

obtuse musings is anti interventionism enough

 full out

      anti   goo goo empire

or a plain vanilla  tampering taboo ??

when is multilateralism not enough 



============================


is it  levels really

not reducable toa  one level optimal

kick every one up a level and we'd ameliorate the globe

 by certifying good intentions by seeeking a higher consent 

if not consensus

non interventionism

in a dangerous world 

can pbz bare up under the temptation 

to do  

  cross border   goo goo ????



   kind and generous hearts 

               without borders



goo goos as the fellow travellers 

of the  trans nats 







maybe it all comes down to the foul choice between missions and crusades 

i don't believe in foreign missionary work 

let alone crusades 

but i don't just plan on staying home here

i plan on stopping my fellow countrymen from either typeproject as well....

do you pride yourself on your  beliefs that are unbeliefs ?????

like me i'm a proud atheist 

thats a belief a faith if you will 

that something ...isn't real..... dosen't exist 

i also have a belief in the class struggle 

and thatr its llaws of motion  are discoverable 

and decisive in determining the course of social develpoment  

i call that a scientific belief 

unlike my atheism

its  not a matter of faith 

not a value

my atheism is a value 

but my hope for human liberation 

 in the long run

 that's  faith

pure conviction

 undoubted even

 faith in the liberation..self liberation klass liberatian 

its inevitale to me 

particularly 

the liberation 

of  uzz human kinds

        from

our

       self inflicted class riven conditions 

that faith can't be shaken by set backs

not because of   my science 

even though that  hardly  tries to tell  me

 the number and size  of  every zig and zag back and forth

                                                    between here 

                                               and klass liberation 

-----------------------------------------------------

enough of belief

          there's also skepticism 

the null hypothesis is a fortress rarely stormed successfully 

especially when it comes to righteous interventions 

remember "they" want us to be plungers 

faith leapers 

belief in intentional integrity 

   faith in justice will out

what if the world don't need our fucking missions 

diffidence  and  empire 

don't mix well do they 

so give us oh lord more diffidence 

one ought to read charles dickens on the noble savage

before one thinks to highly of  urban  decency as a guide thru

                                                                  the wilds of ignorance 

doubt  might prevent  a few extra  bomber runs 



innocent blood and good intentions

don't a tasty cocktail make 

no matter how smart the missiles get 

  u got to know more then you know 

to be smart enough about using em 

brain surgery is not cannery work  is it gang 

 good intentions leading to bad unintentions 

may be far more likely

if u are good intentionaly

   following other with a spare set of concealed  intentions 



the kold war

     was built on a convergence of secular  beliefs 

in a global bogey 

the exisytence of this bogey

became

           a  near  secular  consensus in fact

well

  the benefits acrued not to  the billions we count as  humantiy

 but to  the  few millions with trans nat  portfolios 



profit max opportunities

leveraged by use of  the  republic's  credit 

in a crusade 

forged out of the gulag-death camp  story 

talk about two headed monsters 

one to the right of us and another to the left 

and  

the greater  of these  was

the  left totalitarian ....errrrr

simply because we blew off  the other head 

 by the early 50's 

it became so ...real 

you could taste it in the water supply 

only to fade   into hoakiness by the mid 60's 

                         like big band  swing  music



but since 9/11 or pearl hrabor II

the notion properly up dated has been revived 

 

we/re expected 

to wrestle with that duo again gang 

not left right 

but inside and outside

  creed freaks from the depths of a furious  ignorance  

christian nuts and muslim nuts 



  oh what    beliefs

  built on fear and loathing can do to a person 



i'm talking about us here folks 

-----------------------------------------------------------

 kool off keep your shirt on

we will survive 



even if we leave the rest of the globe to do its own thing 

  i'm not talking

  value relativity   

  killing is killing  

either way 

somalia or afghanistan 

failed state or taliban  state 

stay out  no boots on the ground 

and even worse

              bomb rack diplomacy 

and why sufficient  reason is a narrow one

one even enlightenment types would buy 

 the inevitable info poverty  in our   tiny thousands  of civil heads

 admit it nyt readers

we are rubes  too

when it comes to over there 

any over there

we are part of the rubery 

easy to gull

by clever players on our hot buttons 

so 

lets raise up 

an  agnostic barrier 

   call it the  schultz ' i know nothing'

                 wall of ear  wax 

cut off our hearing

bind our eyes 

if we can't hear 

 the plees for a  white knight 

and the call for  lady bountiful 

might not  a humane soul 

remain  a solemn non interventionist 

muscular secularity 

st hill as lady TR 

we need to meditate long and hard 

qui bono apropos dis here packet of value enflaming....." info "

darfur par example 

 i say

 not none  of our business 

all the world's our business 

 fortunately or unfortunately 

but if  the powers inside the beltway  won't









kick the problem up stairs to the  UN

then the fish has a stinking head  

as thinking individuals 

all we need do is

 count and recount  the reasons 

we ought not to  go out

  into the world in quest of "monsters to destroy "

even if you see em mobilizing  a  plausible  posse of the humane 

its stuff like that 

that gave us 35 extra years of kold war
