The following article is re-posted from:  “Eight Traits of the Disinformationalist”
“1) Avoidance. They never actually discuss issues head-on or provide constructive input, generally avoiding citation of references or credentials. Rather, they merely imply this, that, and the other. Virtually everything about  their presentation implies their authority and  expert knowledge in the matter without any further justification for credibility.
2) Selectivity. They tend to pick and choose opponents carefully, either applying the hit-and-run approach against mere commentators supportive of opponents, or focusing heavier attacks on key opponents who are known to directly address issues. Should a commentator become argumentative with any success, the focus will shift to include the commentator as well.
3) Coincidental. They tend to surface suddenly and somewhat coincidentally with a new controversial topic with no clear prior record of participation in general discussions in the particular public arena involved. They likewise tend to vanish once the topic is no longer of general concern. They were likely directed or elected to be there for a reason, and vanish with the reason.
4) Teamwork. They tend to operate in self-congratulatory and complementary packs or teams. Of course, this can happen naturally in any public forum, but there will likely be an ongoing pattern of frequent exchanges of this sort where professionals are involved. Sometimes one of the players will infiltrate the opponent camp to become a source for straw man or other tactics designed to dilute opponent presentation strength.
5) Anti-conspiratorial. They almost always have disdain for ‘conspiracy theorists’ and, usually, for those who in any way believe JFK was not killed by LHO. Ask yourself why, if they hold such disdain for conspiracy theorists, do they focus on defending a single topic discussed in a NG focusing on conspiracies? One might think they would either be trying to make fools of everyone on every topic, or simply ignore the group they hold in such disdain.Or, one might more rightly conclude they have  an ulterior motive for their actions in going out of their way to focus as they do.
6) Artificial Emotions. An odd kind of ‘artificial’ emotionalism and an unusually thick skin — an ability to persevere and persist even in the face of overwhelming criticism and unacceptance. This likely stems from intelligence community training that, no matter how condemning the evidence, deny everything, and never become emotionally involved or reactive. The net result for a disinfo artist is that emotions can seem artificial. Most people, if responding in anger, for instance, will express their animosity throughout their rebuttal. But disinfo types usually have trouble maintaining the ‘image’ and are hot and cold with respect to pretended emotions and their usually more calm or unemotional communications style. It’s just a job, and they often seem unable to ‘act their role in character’ as well in a communications medium as they might be able in a real face-to-face  conversation/confrontation. You might have outright rage and indignation one moment, ho-hum the next, and more anger later — an emotional yo-yo. With respect to being thick-skinned, no amount of criticism will deter them from doing their job, and they will generally continue their old disinfo patterns without any adjustments to criticisms of how obvious it is that they play that game — where a more rational individual who truly cares what others think might seek to improve their communications style, substance, and so forth, or simply give up.
7) Inconsistent. There is also a tendency to make mistakes which betray their true self/motives. This may stem from not really knowing their topic, or it may be somewhat ‘Freudian’, so to speak, in that perhaps they  really root for the side of truth deep within.
I have noted that often, they will simply cite contradictory information which neutralizes itself and the author. For instance, one such  player claimed to be a Navy pilot, but blamed his poor communicating skills (spelling, grammar, incoherent style) on having only a grade-school education. I’m not aware of too many Navy pilots who don’t have a college degree. Another claimed no knowledge of a particular topic/situation but later claimed first-hand knowledge of it.”

THE LAMENT

The Lament by Hermes Trismegistus, translated from Ficino by Dame Frances Amelia Yates (1899 – 1981)

http://earthstation1.simplenet.com

“There will come a time when it will be seen that in vain have the Egyptians honored the divinity with a pious mind and with assiduous service. All their holy worship will become inefficacious. The Gods, leaving the earth will go back to heaven; they will abandon Egypt; this land, once the home of religion, will be widowed of its gods and left destitute.

Strangers will fill this country, and not only will there no longer be care for religious observances, but, yet a more painful thing, it will be laid down under so-called laws — under pain of punishments — that all must abstain from acts of piety or cult towards the gods. Then this Holy Land, the home of sanctuaries and temples, will be covered with tombs and the dead.

ThothOh, Egypt! Egypt, there will remain of the religion only fables, and thy children in later times will not believe them; nothing will survive save words engraved on stones to tell of thy pious deeds!

The Scythian, or the Indian, or some other such barbarous neighbor will establish himself in Egypt. For behold the divinity goes back up to heaven; and men, abandoned, all die, and then, without either god or man, Egypt will be nothing but a desert.

Why weep, O Asclepius? Egypt will be carried away to worse things than this; she will be polluted with graver crimes. She, hitherto most holy, who so much loved the gods, only country of Earth where the gods made their home in return for her devotion — she who taught men holiness and piety — will give example of the most atrocious cruelty.

In that hour, weary of life, men will no longer regard the world as (angel) worthy object of their admiration and reverence. This All, which is a good thing, the best that be seen in the past, the present, and the future, will be in danger of perishing, men will esteem it a burden; and thenceforth they will despise and no longer cherish this whole of the universe, incomparable work of God, glorious construction, good creation, made up of an infinite diversity of life forms, instrument of the will of God who, without envy, pours forth his favour on all his work, in which is assembled in one whole, in harmonious diversity, all that can be seen that is worthy of reverence, praise and love.

For darkness will be preferred to light; it will be thought better to die than to live; none will raise his eyes towards heaven; the pious man will be thought mad, the impious, wise; frenzied will be thought brave, the worst criminal a good man.

The soul and all the beliefs attached to it, according to which the soul is immortal by nature, or foresees that it can obtain immortality, as I have taught you — this will be laughed at and thought nonsense. And believe me, it will be considered a capital crime to give oneself to the religion of the mind. A new justice will be created and new laws. Nothing holy, nothing pious, nothing worthy of heaven and of the gods who dwell there, will be any more spoken of nor will find credence in the soul.

The gods will separate themselves from men, deplorable divorce. Only the evil angels will remain who will mingle with men, and constrain them by violence — miserable creatures — to all excesses of criminal audacity, engaging them in wars, brigandage, frauds, and in everything which contrary to the nature of the soul. Then the Earth will lose its equilibrium, the sea will be no longer navigable, the heaven will no longer be full of stars, the stars will stop their courses, and will be silent. The fruits of the Earth will molder, the soil will no longer be fertile, the air itself will grow thick with lugubrious torpor. Such will be the Old Age of the world: irreligion, disorder, confusion of all goods.Mortality Mechanics' Manual

When all these things have come to pass, O Asclepius, then the Lord and Father, the god first in power and *demiurge of the One God, having considered these customs and voluntary crimes, endeavoring, by his will, which is the divine will, to bar the way to vices and universal corruption and to correct errors, he will annihilate all malice, either by effacing it in a deluge or by consuming it by fire, or destroying it by pestilential maladies diffused in many places. Then he will bring back the world to its first beauty, so that this world may again be worthy of reverence and admiration, and that God also, creator and restorer of so great a work, may be glorified by the men who shall live then in continual hymns of praise and benedictions. That is what the rebirth of the world will be; a renewal of all good things, a holy and most solemn restoration of Nature Herself.”

“SLINKY SERPENTS HISS: SENSUAL SEX SENSATIONS…SAVORY, SUMPTUOUS”

Haiku Poem, by Lawrence R. Spencer

__________________________________________________

It is the usual trait of Men, who inhabit fragile forms of flesh, to blame their addictions and inability to be responsible for their own ignorance and brutality,  AND to blame others for the own disabilities.  Such is the classic case of the authors of the Bible, and other ancient mythological texts in the Western World.  In about 600 BCE while the Jews were captive in Babylonia, the few scribes that could actually write, compiled and committed to paper their own pathetic history.  Much of what they wrote was borrowed or stolen from earlier, ancient civilizations who inhabited Earth for thousands of years before these band of pitiful slaves and peasant.  During the entire history of human beings on Earth, nearly every society, with very few exceptions, we patriarchal.  Simply stated, men ruled and ran societies solely and ONLY because the had larger muscles, less courage and much less empathy, compassion and ability to love than the female half of the population.  Females, by virtue of smaller muscles, and less inclination to beat and murder their fellows, have been literally forced into slavery during the entire history of Earth.

So, it is very easy to understand that one of the FEW WEAPONS that Womankind possess to sustain their own survival, to fight back and protect themselves in a race of brutal idiots, it to develop feminine “charms”:  beauty of face, of form.  Wisdom.  Practical survival sensibilities.  And sexual wiles that men cannot not resist.  These abilities also have to benefit of sustaining the population.  Child birth, the most painful ordeal that ANY human body can possibly endure, cannot be done by men.  Men are too cowardly and weak for the truly agonizing labor of pushing a bowling ball through a hole the size of a small apple!

However, the cowardice and stupidity of Men continues without inspection and remains  unchallenged by the men who are truly the Source of Evil on Planet Earth — Patriarchal Priests and Mindless Sheep.  Women are villainized by weaklings and cowards — PRIESTS ,  to be specific — as “Evil”…..  In the mythology of the “Garden of Eden’, it is the female EVE who is portrayed to be “evil” by the Priests who made up these farcical stories.  The same cowards — most of whom have never had sex with anyone except each other, or small boys, or goats — cram their Patriarchal Propaganda down the throats of the mindless sheep who read them, century after century!  After all the thousands and thousands of years of this brutal stupidity, one could easily argue that Females would be justified in murdering every Priest in their sleep, and any other “man” who continues to brutalize women, while blaming these innocents for their own addiction to sexual sensation!  Or, in the case of Priests, their own inability to understand the meaning of Love, Compassion, Aesthetic, Kindness and Nurturing…. the basic characteristics of Women.
