[B]Girlie Men's Wars: Let Real Men dissent[/B]
In a previous post, I described Americaââ¬â¢s current psycho-historical situation as one of ââ¬Åparanoid collapseââ¬Â, which is the next-to-last stage in the unwinding of the containing group-fantasy, the last being ââ¬Åupheaval.ââ¬Â This mass (group) phenomenon follows the lawful trajectory of a dream-state unity as in individuals, developing degeneratively to psychotic delusions of persecution. ââ¬Â¦paranoia.
In the group-think engendered and sustained by media of mass communication,
ââ¬ÅThe terrorists are probing us all the time.ââ¬Â (Quote Gary Boettcher, Member, Board of Directors, Allied Pilots Association. (follow links to Part II: Terror in the Skies, Again? ââ¬â Annie Jacobsenââ¬â¢s tale of running across Syniaââ¬â¢s Wayne Newton)\ [url]http://www.snopes.com/politics/crime/skyterror.asp[/url]
The metaphorical image of ââ¬Åprobingââ¬Â is a Lacanian signifier. In male psychology, it signifies (ââ¬Åalludes toââ¬Â, as Freud put it) anal rape. And as for the defensive male behavior triggered by real threat that signifies, well, as a guy might say, donââ¬â¢t even think about it.
Then, it turns out males calling themselves guys DO think about it ââ¬â a lot; maybe all the time. O.K. Iââ¬â¢m here to announce, not denounce. This Token*, as ââ¬Åsignifiersââ¬Â may be called to distinguish them from the textual content read through them, goes with California Governor Arnold Schwartzenneger using ââ¬Ågirly menââ¬Â for ready-to-spend, but responsibility-evading liberal Democrats. He was saying ââ¬Åyou are acting like women, so thatââ¬â¢s how you will be treated, by me.ââ¬Â Townhall columnist Ben Shapiro seconds that:

If the Democrats don't like being called "girly men," then they should stop acting like them.

This is a virtual kid, person-wise. Late teen or early 20-something, precocious as hell, sticking it to* those feckless Dems. It is enough, for present purposes, to call attention to what is going on, his ââ¬Ëpositionââ¬â¢, or agenda. His name associations tag the source. As a virtual kid, person-wise, he is using the language of anal rape of grown men as a political barb. If it werenââ¬â¢t oxymonic, one might fear for his soul. As it is, concern should be tendered for whatever that soul sits on, or in. (His words are a defense against threat of that.)
The direction in which this is heading is perhaps already becoming clear. In order to keep it connected and grounded in actual current event, however, time-outs and Freudian summations want exposure. There are major unspoken, but constantly alluded-to nodes, or complexes, tapped by Tokens of highly exciting unconscious fantasies. The most powerful, in terms of impact, distribution, force-of-action/reaction (ââ¬ÅPower Pac S*ââ¬Â) are those the Leader (as ââ¬Åfatherââ¬Â) uses, with the pronoun ââ¬Åweââ¬Â, picked up by all who are members of the sign-using group (here, America) as requi8red self-reference qua citizens. The words he applies to events and situations define how all who communicate to each other about said events and situations. Are put in the position of either sharing the grammar (self-reference under ââ¬Åweââ¬Â) in the act of communicating with them; or withhold ââ¬â either in overt refusal, or inwardly (ââ¬Åon the token sideââ¬Â)
It is, at least, the inner refusal that is required of all now who refuse to yield the grammar. ââ¬ÅWeââ¬Â already, in the present context of war for Israel (speaking broadly but not inaccurately: [url]http://www.kentucky.com/mld/heraldleader/news/nation/9222612.htm[/url] Posted on Fri, Jul. 23, 2004
THE MASTERMIND
U.S. policy on Israel key motive for effort
PLOTTER INVOLVED BIN LADEN TO GAIN MORE RESOURCES
By Terry McDermott

Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the man who conceived and directed the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, was motivated by his strong disagreement with American support for Israel, said the final report of the Sept. 11 commission

ââ¬Â¦is a binder to a group-talk, with a built-in group-think edge to divide all occurring evens, situations, issues, policies, in value terms that avoid blaming those who have been responsible of it all. ââ¬â carrying out the irrational, paranoid ââ¬Åpreemptiveââ¬Â defense against Saddam Hussein, Iraqââ¬â¢s Baathists, and the Iraqi people, by those who feel as if THEY are ââ¬Ågirly menââ¬Â, and to prove they are not, are driven by a kind of generational madness (look at how the baby boomers dressed themselves in the 70ââ¬â¢s) to prove they are tough, manly righteous, caring, and good, when the fact is they are just like Arnold Schwarzenegger.
There was a famous case of a late 19th century German Judge, Daniel Paul Schreber, son of a prominent Father pediatrician/physician, who, at the time he (the son) was to assume judicial responsibilities, for which he had prepared long, ardulously,and brilliantly, suddenly went bug-ass nuts, and began having delusions of persecution by what he called ââ¬ÅGodââ¬Â (thus, on Freudââ¬â¢s theory of tokens, ââ¬Åbreaking apartââ¬Â the chief signifier ââ¬ÅGod The Fatherââ¬Â; this signifies transfer of libido-cathexis (love of father), acquired early, to the transpersonal inner Imago. The unbelievable form the persecutions took was anal rape, visions evoking nocturnal emissions and cosmic realizations while in states of extreme ââ¬Åvoluptuosityââ¬Â. He conceived the project of giving birth to a new humanity, down the line, and that is why God wanted to do what he did. Freud laid it off to his ââ¬Åwanting to be a womanââ¬Â, marking it down to the emergence of a homosexual strain latent in paranoia in general; plus, and the attempt at restitution, from his own fertile devices of imagination, for his failed masculinityproject. What is defended against, delusionally, exaggeratedy, all the time, every day ââ¬Â¦ is male anal rape, by ââ¬Återroristsââ¬Â.
The neocons are just doing what a man (of their sort) has got to do.
