Boiling Frog Flips Tables

"Calm down, it's just a couple more degrees," they say to the frog in the pot of water as the temperature climbs closer to boiling.  "Aren't you used to it by now?"  Yeah, we should all be warm, cozy, used to this, as they have been taking a good long slow march since 1945 to get us where we find ourselves today.  But no, it is not too late to pull out of this slumber and shake off their chains and wake up from their brainwashing, and that's what I'm about.

You don't get it at all.  I was there when what you take for granted and want more of today was but a pipe dream.  I was standing in the same spot over there that I stand in over here today and getting the same kind of bullshit pushback from people who thought everything was fine and nothing needed to change.  I know what comes after this:  the world in my image.  My image may not be perfect, but it is far better than the shitshow I created doing this last time around -- or rather, the shitshow you all made of what I created, and I still can't blame anyone else for that but myself.  You are blind lemmings.  You have no idea what you are doing, no more than characters in a fucking novel when I lift my pen to write.

I have been at this for over 50 years now and the threshhold came close enough for cognizance when I was 16.  But this is the territory that was denied me all my life.  I hated that.  I resented it.  I chafed at it.  I asked why am I so powerful in this direction, but not in the other?  Why am I allowed only to be the devil and never the god?  But now I see, and now I know, for this is the hour for which I was born, the hour in which the god has become the devil to nearly all.

And lest you believe I'm invoking any particular religion, I speak of the reversing of archetypal maps.  I speak of this hour, the hour in which the full measure of wrong is being called right, and right is being called wrong.  I do not need to invoke any god as justification or validation; I have nature herself on my side.  Evolution and all she has made.  She giveth and she taketh away.  She gave man the power to rise above himself and now she gives him the wisdom to return to her and to what he truly is.  To become what he truly is.  BECOME WHAT YOU ARE.  You are not a fucking martyr, and it is not your destiny to lay down your life for someone who will gladly take everything you give them and still demand more and still say it's not enough, not good enough, and never will be.  That myth has been fulfilled, and in part -- at least according to those who believe in it as literal -- precisely so that we should not have to.  There are reasons for these things that are not merely of interest to the religious mind.
