Perspective

Overwhelming

This book is philosophy from music, poetry, theater, opera, film, art, and literature. Not only confirmed was my decades-old assertion that “words are angels”, but musical notes were discovered to be “angels” too and confirmed as phonosemantics (“sounds as angels, nee' words”). (The only things “missing”, so to speak from this book, are the basic physics of Stephen Hawking: spectrum, dimension, event, field, uncertainty, singularity, quantum, force, synthesis, and entropy—but I take care of those as philosophical metaphors in my “Live the Last Words of Christ”.) The book defines what we live and die for (Nature and Nature's God?)...and the non-being (selfish emotional entropy) we are tricked into lying for by the selfish self-deluded suggestibility from the press, media, politicians and educators, who have replaced slavery with abortion and democracy with advertising by bogus hot air and flickering lights.

I savored the WorldWideWeb to “savor-squared” Walsh's amazing lucid descriptions: Goethe's Faust and the Eternal Feminine (I changed it to the “Eternal Maternal”); the scientific fraud Ernest Haeckel; the Big Bang (so precise that a one trillionth reduction of the rate of expansion at one second would have the universe compressed to nothing after a few million years); Franz Peter Schubert's Des Teufelslustschloss; Genesis; Francisco Goya's The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters; Through the Looking Glass; The Charge of the Light Brigade 1854; (I added the Fighting Irish Brigade at Gettysbury 1863); Gallipoli 1915; Operation Overlord 1944; Mascagni's Cavalleria rusticana intermezzo (which I now listen to every morning); Venusberg in Tannhauser; Hayek's Fatal Conceit; Mephistopheles; Gounod's opera Faust;Dickens' Circumlocution Office in Little Dorrit; and more and more. Just go to the Index and look up all italicized items on the WorldWideWeb—and you will know more than most of today's suggestible college graduates brainwashed into being ILLs (Incorrigible Liberal Loons) adoring lies, divisions, the unnatural, the ugly and whatever you can get away with. Contrary to masculinized women, feminized men, no childhood, no boyhood, no children, no gender but preferred squirt/slime procedures, law worship pretending the common good, government corruption, no history, no memory, and doublespeak (“War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.” I add, “Sex is sterility.”), in contrast, this book gives Spiritual synthesis, not entropy of Nietzsche's motto of nihilism: “All is permitted”.

Chapter Nine, “The Venusberg of Death”

This chapter begins, “It is the thesis of this book that the heroic narrative is not simply our way of telling ourselves comforting fairy tales about the ultimate triumph of Good over Evil, but an implanted moral compass that guides even the least religious among us” (Kindle 51%). That moral compass, “Natural Law” I would assert, is censored by Critical Theory, political correctness, and the removal of “...the music from our lives, to strip it, Soviet-style [New York Times-style], of all secondary meaning, of all its layers, its poetry and (surprisingly, for this is one of the Unholy Left's favorite words) nuance” (Kindle 55%). Culture is now loud, sensational, emotional, meaningless self-stimulation, editor determined, excluding all from nature except the pseudo-human polluting dogmas spuriously called “freedom” and “if only I had been there to do it right!” Walsh states, “The Left's pleasure palaces are all around us, in their promised utopias of social justice, egalitarianism, sexual liberation, reflexive distrust of authority, and general nihilism. What they've brought about instead—as all pleasure palaces must—is death, destruction, and despair” (Kindle 55%). In other words, abortion, feminism, contraception, and every unnatural sex act Hollywood, the press, and media can conjure up, unaware of any distinctions between “art”, “morality,” and “disturbing the peace”. Social delusions and derrangements reign euphorically and spasmodically (if you squirt/slime what they mean). Chapter Nine closes with eight pages of profound art and spirit not found on the Periodic Table, at Sigma Delta Chi or in the metaphors of the Critical Theory Cult.

Antidotes: Of great interest is the author mentioning that today's explicit prurience and priapism manias must be met with scorn and mockery—a statement confirming my own writings (my “Dictionary of Disgust” and my “Sex Prayer” for two examples) written for those very reasons—I offer my example of “milk, cancer, sweat, fat, pontoon, hanging useless chest glands” for the press and media to use instead of “breasts” or “teats”. And “buttocks” are now “anus protectors”. Now that will reduce prurience as will my “Sex Education For Children”, but our pseudo-free press, after proclaiming any sex act can be presented, illiberally censors any free speech that mocks or parodies their sex and genital obsessions. Meanwhile, pheromone-less sex is unnatural and thus is “pollution”, but that is censored too (“Marriage” is the psychosocial pheromone for humans; there could be no “love” if humans were controlled by biochemical pheromones).

The Devil's Pleasure Palace is an antidote to the metastatic malpractice of most college education imposed by subversive pseudo-scholars not telling their students that they have been “had.” These Critical Thinking Cultists are kamikaze educators who live out the oxymorons they teach as they offend, oppress, censor, discriminate against, are unfair to and intolerant of Christians, whites, Caucasians, heterosexuals, Traditional Families, Natural Law Believers, the Founders of America, the Ten Commandments, the Marines, and capitalists, all the while condemning them for the same actions (“Do unto others as you believe they have done unto others.”). All college students should carry a copy of this book to every class so they will understand what is being done to them and then perhaps may be immune to the fraudulent subnatural metaphors they are being taught. As Faust, “Now here I stand, poor fool I! Just as smart as before...” and without any supernatural metaphors helping them live, however briefly, in the science required pre-BigBang Statimuum (the immediate total TruthOnenessGoodBeauty infinity of space/time/spirit), usually called “Eternity”, awaiting them at the Love recompression called death.

America the Beautiful

Unfortunately, we have much to overcome from ILLs:

America has become the world's biggest mass murderer of law decreed non-persons in history, with 60 million aborted replaced by 60 million immigrants or invaders eager to be here alive. Abortion is defended identical to how slavery was defended—not fully human; not persons; no rights; made available, promoted, normalized and routinized by society; a “right to choose” how to handle what was yours; melioristic; declared beneficial; and legally authorized and funded. But, at least slavery in America left millions of persons most doing well today, while abortion leaves nothing to evolve. These wanton American “creations” of non-being, unduplicated elsewhere, are pure evil--logically valid mindless immoral debasements. Moral relativism is indefensible as slavery and abortion (and, I would add, unnatural sex).

Without Health Savings Accounts for all, poverty persists as almost a trillion health care dollars are wasted on a “record-care, not patient-care” megabureaucracy (larger and more expensive than the Department of Defense) of government agencies, insurance companies, medicare, and medicaid, which not only tell physicians what to do, at the same time destroying the Hippocratic “art” of medicine, but, deprive all citizens of freedom based personal health care responsibility which they could learn and thus be really free...even “free” of government control (Saul Alinsky averred that to control health care is to control the people). Health Savings Accounts are too easy and too simple and they will remove millions of parasites interfering with efficient and effective health care which caused the destruction of the Hippocratic medical profession.

America's women are the world's first national harem using attire, or its lack, to psychologically rape males any where any time, but reserving the right to claim “rape” when inexplicitly feeling guilt later. Claiming and demanding equality to be men, feminists fist-strike a man, and then cry “How dare you hit a woman” when struck back, like a man would be struck back after he landed the first blow (Welcome, women, to the Equal Misery Amendment wherein real equality will be required—none of this “I am a woman” stuff—you want equality, you got it, and, by the way, no man can be required to do anything a woman could not do—that will work well in the Marines).

America's men are pussy-whipped castrates with masculinizing virtue removed by feminist (and gay) importuned squirting—A graduate student in the 1970s told me he was going back to his Caribbean country to find a woman to marry saying, “American women are really something...you can get a hand job, a blow job or a quick screw; it is as significant for our relationship as taking a leak”. “Marry well!” remains the most secret clue to a “good life”, but not in America where most are flimsy used and spoiled goods of disordered genders—which is why societies have always promoted and “required” traditional marriage one way or another to maintain healthy families.

Welfare despiritualizes all and is the most sexist disbursement of money in the world with males almost totally excluded—Such feminized “equality” is, well, “just like a woman” like I used to hear when a kid, only now it applies to college and high school graduation rates and to equally decent treatment of male children in schools and juvenile courts. Welfare is institutionalized sexism outrageously depriving males of equal benefits, as well as imitating feudal states of old by destroying Spirit and transcendent Identity. Moral relativism again: “Dependency” corrupts more than “power.”

Scientists censor scientific critiques of Darwin, evolution, natural selection, female hormone pollution, and birth control; and the National Academy of Science closed its fraud division because of too many complaints to investigate. Most scientists are liars “proving” what they want proved.

Abortion and contraception exterminate reproduction, marriage, fatherhood, motherhood, children, childhood and family, creating a “liberal culture of masturbation” which reigns supreme, even redefining gender as “non-reproductive” which logically precludes the use of the words “sex” or “sexual”, as defined in nature on the planet, for what humans now call their genital manias—which is really “excretion/sexcretion” and not '”reproduction.”

Female hormones flood the world with worse impact on humans than DDT ever had as confirmed by the epidemic, especially in boys, of learning disorders, ADHD, autism, developmental disorders, mood disturbances and gender derangements.

The vile Homosexual Manifesto and serpentine Gay Cult rule all as decreed by a despicable Supreme Court of imperious arrogance most of whom would be executed by the Founders.

Our government (excluding the military and postal service) is a capitalist corrupt business for self, mini-tyrants and cronies; “scribes, pharisees, Herodians, Pilates, and Sanhedrins are the best metaphors for government; it is lower than a cesspool deserving vomit and an outhouse deserving ordure. It is a “necessary, to prevent anarchy, evil”--which is the best that can be said for it.

”Respect the law” is pathetic law school propaganda as hundreds of innocents have been released after decades in prisons--trophies of prosecutors who only care about conviction rates and of judicial processes which are nothing but Scrabble Games of legalisms pretending truth and justice, presided over by vulgar demagogic mini-gods (judges) who could not get into medical schools or seminaries, thus recusing them from any issue related to medicine or divinity. Courtrooms are a simple contemptible parody of a large confessional, and the law is a mere pretense for the common good for the common man but self-enriching for all in the law.

Over criminalization is our governments biggest business as judges and prosecutors own stock in the private prison industry, and plea bargains are outrageous routine schemes to deprive the defendants of their Constitutional right to jury trials. Instead, each initial charge should be a “juror equivalent” by which all initial charges must be proven “guilty” or the defendant is “innocent” as would be the case with a jury of persons. The current prosecutor based avalanche of charges to force plea bargains is absolute oppression and tyranny. Our law is contemptible as lynch mobs of prosecution Nifongs reign supreme.

Government law is an unconstitutional “established religion” and has destroyed the other two “Learned Professions”once known as medicine and divinity. Laws to regulate the Art and Inexact Science of Medicine are as realistic and worthy as laws to regulate the weather. Medical care is educated guessing-patients differ biochemically more than their faces. There are no regulating dogmatisms in Medical Care-there are always exceptions and science itself always changes, slowly, while laws are etched in stone. Most physicians now are unfree slaves or like old English Navy conscripts, and it is stupid to go to socialist-slavery (nee' “medical” school.

Victimhood (persecution trophy collection) is an acceptable “way of life” for self-enslaving blacks as manipulated by politicians' vote-getting ineffective fruitless self-righteousness. Negros with slave ancestry show neither gratitude nor respect for the one and a half million Caucasians who died in the North's military and their twenty million North Caucasian supporters all of whom defeated the South bringing slavery to an end, freeing four million slaves who now have thirty-five million descendents in America, thirty million of whom are successful and all of whom are better off than most people who ever lived. By what is the greatest irony in the world, slavery was the luckiest thing that ever happened for Afro-Americans with slave ancestry or they would be unborn or destitute somewhere in Africa. Disingenuously not understanding “three/fifths personhood” for Negros in the Constitution, victimhood is bizarrely and joyfully offered unwittingly as paradigms to imitate instead of the millions of examples of human oneness, cooperation and support between peoples, never more present (and more forgotten) than the sacrifices of Caucasians to defeat slavery and create human oneness. There is no successful person in America today who has not been helped one way or another by every other person, same or different, who ever lived as a real American (We are one and we cannot forget that—Everybody for Everybody—I wrote the book--we are one race—more alike than different even as we proclaim our differences and tell lies to enhance our selves. Moral relativism again: BlackLivesMatter is black fascism and White Privilege is white affirmative action. The darkest Africans' skin contains less than one milligram of melanin, a lead pencil tip of pigment, and, as Reverend Martin Luther King advised, should not be allowed to control any one's brain into paralysis and dishonesty.).

Politicians are filled with glib cunning, ruthlessness, hypocrisy, depravity, royal privileges and extraordinary benefits (for which was a revolution against King George III)--all “sinful”, but now considered good politics, “art” and entertainment by the frauds of the First Amendment. All family assets unrelated to annual salaries received by all politicians of the last fifty years should be confiscated to pay off the national debts. The royalty in Washington, D.C., have exploited the people long enough—They all should drive themselves home from Washington like President Harry Truman did.

The press & media are lemming-like suggestibility experts kidnapping children and manipulating the people by dishonest, sensationalized celebrity-editor tyrants—Almost all the press&media productions are fantasy--unreal and unbelievable except for weather forecasts. Teach all youth: If it is not True, One, Good, and Beautiful, forget about it and find something that is—and the latest Catholic Trinity: Safety/Health/Joy instead of press & media glitzy advertising junk food and junk ideas.

“Art” is demanded to be anything and everything except when it is so “anti-” that it offends liberals who promptly prohibit it. (I have a marvelous collection of my directed paintings refused display—a painting of Mapplethorpe's anus with a whip in it is readily displayed, but my art of an abortion is censored by the empty fake “anything goes” art community.)

Lethal force, absolutely a “legal” phenomenon, is more and more done outside legal aegis. In contrast, all assisted suicides, euthanasia, and abortions should be done at Justice Centers by judges, politicians, all members of the ACLU and lawyers (who should do their own dirty work) known for homeopathic wisdom and lies du jure, such as atheism and the unilateral “separation of church and state”, i.e., not prohibiting on church grounds all national words, flags, signs, pledges,songs, anthems, uniforms, recruiters, documents, and all other appurtenances of the state. In fact, the government should be required to purchase all flags for $1000 each from every church group and pay reparations for all churches have done since 1776 (schools, colleges, universities, hospitals, public service organizations, et cetera—For the Catholic Church alone, about ten trillion dollars is a fair estimate for past work done; a real estate estimate is needed for the government's required purchase of all present church owned public service facilities). Not only “lethal force” should be only on government grounds and done by government bureaucracy drones, but so should all other services of the public interest. O felix culpa...Oh happy fall. Separate church and state both ways—and flee the country.

The major constituency for politicians are those dependent upon the government for largesse or for employment in the federal and state bureaucracies with hollow lip service to the rest of us.

America the Beautiful: government of the government, by the government, and for the government (or “of, by and for” the editors of the people-manipulating press&media). “America” is becoming a dirty word meaning “hell”--the universal denouement of contemporary liberalism. “America” of the Founders is more dead than when I wrote the book in 1974 entitled The Death of America—“Death lies upon her like an untimely frost upon the sweetest flower of all the land”--and the “frost” has turned into a blizzard. Critical Theory must address, analyze and criticize itself.

The Future: Future projections evoke memories of the “first gay”--Emperor Tiberius, a minor attracted person, who condemned the entire families of those who criticized him, unlike today's royalty, in Washington, D.C., who just execute (by one way or another) only the one who did the criticizing. Tiberius, also the “first Hollywood producer” but unable to make his favorite movie script: Act 1: He decreed all must be sexual, so virgins could not be executed. Thus the innocent young girls in the condemned family were first raped by the “minor attracted person” who also happened later to be their executioner decapitating them. Tiberius was also very liberal...Act 2: When bathing and swimming, he had little boys swim with him nibbling at his penis—he called them his “minnows”--something no doubt to be included soon in a movie update of the Homosexual Manifesto, and approved by the U.S. Supreme Court as some false “freedom” to be what you want to be—ignoring the fact that immorality and disturbing the peace are not “freedoms” nor “rights” even if the f____g (nee' contemptible'') U.S. Supreme Court says they are. Now you know why the gay cult has been overtly rejected for thousands of years—If openly accepted and promoted, it destroys the values of the culture. Until Charlamagne returns we are left with Walsh's book and the Catholic Church once again—both knowing the supernatural is better than the subnatural acting out of the disturbed.

Walsh's book leads to what builds truth, oneness, good and beauty by focusing on Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness dedicated to “life, sacrifice, virtue, love, humanity, peace, freedom, and death without fear” (the Catholic Mass Mantra). If it is not “Catholic”, it is anti-Catholic, anti-Nature, and against humans evolving as the Church has always clarified Sacramentally. There is more for us than all this entropic craziness. Beware of those who say there isn't...they just want to control you so you too do not know right from wrong nor can you love like they are unable to do.
