INTELLECTUAL FELLATIO

INTELLECTUAL FELLATIO
(Serving The State)


To blow and swallow at the same moment is not easy.
Plautus

An article by Christopher Hitchens in Harpers magazine indicts and proves that Henry Kissinger in Vietnam and Chile committed common crimes and war crimes. In these situations the U.S. Government employed Kissinger; hence he acted and spoke for that government. Consequently, and correctly so, Hitchens maintains that Kissinger should be brought to account.

The problem, of course, with Kissinger and his ilk is the unbelievable contradiction that somehow Kissinger’s crimes differ historically from all the identical crimes of Eisenhower against the Germans, General Westmoreland against the Vietnamese, President Truman against Koreans at No Gun Ri, President Jackson against the Indians on the Trail of tears, Janet Reno at WACO, FBI Agent Horiuchi at Ruby Ridge, or the entire U.S. Government and its Mein Kampf Constitution against blacks everywhere!

Media’s “blowing and swallowing” simultaneously begins: Hitchens was speaking of Kissinger as nothing more than a common murderer with Brian Lamb on C-SPAN when the sound quickly and conveniently went off just as Hitchens was describing Kissinger in Hitlerian terms. I watch C-SPAN often, and not even on the major networks, where I’m certain censorship is universal, have I witnessed such cowardly censorship! As Will Durant once remarked, “the Ten Commandments must be silent when national survival is at stake.”

Of course, this is the nature of any collective albeit business, education, labor, media, religion or government. While amoral liars all, it is only government (aka state) that uses force with impunity and immunity to kill and steal (No thou shalt not’s for the state). From time to time one of these media toadies to the state break their bonds. For example, P.J. O’Rourke relates in his excellent book A Parliament of Whores,
It was at this moment in the middle of the Blathering sewer debate that I achieved enlightenment about government—what I hadn’t realized was government is morally wrong.

He still has much to learn, but peace and prosperity would take a quantum leap forward if just 25% of the media experienced such a revelation!

The other collectives—business, education, religion, labor, etc., even wanting to, could not/cannot bring force capable of going eyeball to eyeball with the state. In fact, because of that they are usually bedfellows of government. As Ayn Rand puts it in her brilliant “Sanction of the Victim” speech.

Then I saw what was wrong with the world—I saw that evil was impotent—that the only weapon of its triumph was the willingness of the good to serve it.
