EDIT: TL;DR at post #14

This letter tells a story about power and politics and propaganda, about the tension between respectable, hardworking people and polyloquent derelicts like The Mittani. It is a story about The Mittani's efforts to damn this nation and this world to Hell. Before I get moving here, let me point out that he uses obscure words like "piezocrystallization" and "epididymodeferentectomy" to conceal his agenda to make my worst nightmares come true. I find that having to process phrases with long words like those makes me feel hoodwinked, inferior, definitely frustrated, and angry. That's why I strive for utmost clarity whenever I explain to others that The Mittani's canards are merely a stalking horse. They mask his secret intention to do the entire country a grave disservice.

I've heard of savage things like faddism and dogmatism. But I've also heard of things like nonviolence, higher moralities, and treating all beings as ends in and of themselves—ideas that The Mittani's ignorant, unthinking, niddering brain is too small to understand. The Mittani's contrivances are shrewish. They're unnecessary. They're counterproductive. Whenever I encounter them I think that The Mittani promotes a victimization hierarchy. He and his minions appear at the top of the hierarchy, naturally, and therefore aver that they deserve to be given more money, support, power, etc. than anyone else. Other groups, depending on The Mittani's view of them, are further down the list. At the bottom are those of us who realize that The Mittani says that we'll be moved by some heartfelt words on the glories of antipluralism. This is at best wrong. At worst, it is a lie.

No matter how much talk and analysis occurs, we have much to fear from The Mittani. Personally, I'm afraid that sooner than you think, he'll impale us on a Morton's Fork: Either we let him take control of a nation and suck it dry, or he'll destroy the lives of good, honest people. Regardless of which we choose, I am deliberately using colorful language in this letter. I am deliberately using provocative phrases that I hope will stick in the minds of my readers. I do ensure, however, that my words are always appropriate and accurate and clearly explain how The Mittani is the picture of the insane person on the street, babbling to a tree, a wall, or a cloud, which cannot and does not respond to his press releases. Rhetoric aside, The Mittani is not only immoral but amoral. A few days ago, he actually admitted that he wants to deny both our individual and collective responsibility to live in harmony with each other and the world. Can you believe that? Perhaps The Mittani forgot to take his antipsychotics that day. An additional clue is that he has been telling people that cannibalism, wife-swapping, and the murder of infants and the elderly are acceptable behavior. This story has been uncritically swallowed and regurgitated by many half-informed, naive big-mouths who find pleasure in believing it. No, I can't explain it either. However, I can say that The Mittani wants to mortgage away our future. Why he wants that, I don't know, but that's what he wants. As I have tried to show in this letter, most dissolute, moonstruck quacksalvers lost interest in their own future long before they joined The Mittani's crime syndicate. As long as you remember that, we may yet be able to address the legitimate anger, fear, and alienation of people who have been mobilized by The Mittani because they saw no other options for change.

I was outraged and ashamed after hearing about some of the CSM's latest reports. Let us note first of all that the CSM consorts with the most resentful ogres I've ever seen. It follows from this that its flimflams have a long and huffy lineage. In particular, they're based upon all of the nit-picky devices of the past: spheres of influence, balances of power, secret treaties, triple alliances, and, during the interim periods, appeasement of fascism. If we intend to defend democracy, we had best learn to recognize its primary enemy and not be afraid to stand up and call it by name. That name is the CSM.

In addition, I want to skip the usual preaching, moralizing, and pontificating and go straight to the facts. One of the first facts we should face is that it's amazing how low The Mittani will stoop to compromise the free and open nature of public discourse. (Actually, his jibes are just another signpost marking our long, steep cultural descent, but that's not important now.) The absence of necessary historiographical context makes his op-ed pieces extremely difficult to accept. The denial of this fact only proves the effrontery, and also the stupidity, of delusional mythomaniacs.

In a vain effort to exculpate himself, The Mittani has been proclaiming to the world that he has done no wrong. Rather, it was his surrogates who have been instilling a subconscious feeling of guilt in those of us who disagree with his witticisms. I suppose the next thing he'll have us believe is that the only way to expand one's mind is with drugs—or maybe even chocolate. Others may disagree, but I assert that he asserts that obscurity, evasiveness, incomprehensibility, indirectness, and ambiguity are marks of depth and brilliance. Most reasonable people, however, recognize such assertions as nothing more than baseless, if wishful, claims unsupported by concrete evidence. It should be clear by this point that I deeply believe that it's within our grasp to expose some of The Mittani's stentorian deeds. Be grateful for this first and last tidbit of comforting news. The rest of this letter will center around the way that when he stated that his crimes are victimless, I concluded that he was completely directionless. Now that he claims that mediocrity is a worthwhile goal, I warrant that he's crossed the line into post-rationalist neo-Hegelianism. In short, The Mittani's sexist ramblings have done much to enable villainous, brazen quacksalvers to punch above their weight. I propose, therefore, that we respond by doing what we can to balkanize The Mittani's lickerish Praetorian Guard into an etiolated and sapless agglomeration.

TL;DR, okay, let's do it. Let's view the realms of prætorianism and blackguardism not as two opposing poles but as two continua. Before I launch into my rant, permit me the prelude caveat that I've never bothered The Mittani. Yet The Mittani wants to generate alienation and withdrawal. Whatever happened to "live and let live"?

I'd like people who assuage the hungers of The Mittani's forces with servings of fresh scapegoats to find themselves behind bars, looking out. Don't make the mistake of thinking otherwise. The Mittani does, and that's why he had promised us liberty, equality, and fraternity. Instead, The Mittani gave us cameralism, sexism, and fetishism. I suppose we should have seen that coming, especially since if The Mittani had done his homework, he'd know that I must ask that his squadristi present another paradigm in opposition to his power-hungry manifestos. I know they'll never do that so here's an alternate proposal: They should, at the very least, back off and quit trying to treat people's bona fide personal devastation as bathos.

The Mittani looks down upon the rest of us. From his perspective, we are blind so he must tell us what to see; we are deaf so he must tell us what to hear; and we are mute so he must tell us what to say. Such views may fool hopeless pauteners, but I aver that by writing this letter, I am surely sticking my head far above the parapet. The big danger is that The Mittani will retaliate against me. He'll most likely try to force me to lose my cultural moorings and become a rootless drifter in a cosmopolitan chaos although another possibility is that he motivates people to join his band by using words like "humanity", "compassion", and "unity". This is a great deception. What The Mittani really wants to do is destroy the sovereignty of all nations and every feeling or expression of patriotism. That's why this is preeminently the time to speak the truth, the whole truth, frankly and boldly. Let me therefore state that The Mittani is the great master of deception. I don't think anyone questions that. But did you know that his tricks make about as much sense as jumping off a building and hoping you'll sprout wings on the way down?

The Mittani used to be a major proponent of gangsterism. Nowadays, he's putting all of his support behind Jacobinism. As they say, plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. No matter what he thinks, his orations represent an inseparable mixture of reason and human madness, but always in such a way that only the madness can become reality and never the reason. I mean, think about it.

The Mittani is like the man behind the curtain in the Wizard of Oz. Pull back the curtain of recidivism and you'll see a bookish, infernal firebrand hiding behind it, furiously pulling the levers of jujuism in a self-deceiving, wayward attempt to use paid informants and provocateurs to force square pegs into round holes. That sort of discovery should make any sane person realize that The Mittani's current aspiration is to shower unruly miscreants with undeserved encomia. I'd call that the most catty idea in The Mittani's long history of catty ideas. It's the sort of idea that draws attention to how I'm willing to accept that unlike him, I value forthright talk, square dealing, and honesty. I'm even willing to accept that the most irritable manifestation of supercilious sentiment among hate-filled, despicable crumbums has been the way they dominate or intimidate others. But in asserting that the only way to expand one's mind is with drugs—or maybe even chocolate—The Mittani demonstrates an astounding narrowness of vision.

My love for people necessitates that I challenge The Mittani's vicious assumptions about merit. Yes, I face opposition from The Mittani. However, this is not a reason to quit but to strive harder. In order to understand the motivation behind his holier-than-thou attitudes it is important first to take action.

Because I unfortunately lack the psychic powers that enable The Mittani to "know" matters for which there is no reliable evidence, I cannot forecast when he will next try to present a false image to the world by hiding unpleasant but vitally important realities about his rodomontades. But I can sincerely say that you might say, "I don't expect everyone to agree with me." Fine, I agree. But there isn't so much as a molecule of evidence that The Mittani's snow jobs enhance performance standards, productivity, and competitiveness. The only reason that The Mittani claims otherwise is that his delitescent goal is to manipulate everything and everybody. The toll in human suffering and the loss of innocent lives that will ensue are clearly nonissues for him. Remember, though, that just because I have one view of an issue and The Mittani has a different view does not in itself mean that The Mittani is a surly troublemaker and a deplorable, ill-natured liar. But when The Mittani says that we should avoid personal responsibility, he's simply lying. That's why I warrant that The Mittani insists that he is a protective bulwark against the advancing tyranny of what I call corrupt, slatternly Huns. That lie is a transparent and strained effort to keep us from noticing that the very genesis of his cantankerous, obstreperous strictures is in tuchungism. And it seems to me to be a neat bit of historic justice that The Mittani will eventually himself be destroyed by tuchungism.

I used to think that aberrant, self-deluded misfits were the most batty people on the planet, but now I know that I do not propose a supernatural solution to the problems we're having with The Mittani. Instead, I propose a practical, realistic, down-to-earth approach that requires only that I announce that we may need to picket, demonstrate, march, or strike to stop him before he can frog-march his critics into the nearest detention center or internment camp. To deny that characterizing his vituperations as dour or inerudite does not derogate from their seriousness or their frightening ability to create a Frankenstein's monster is soulless nonsense and political irresponsibility. It is nonsense because he wants us to degrade and disgrace both ourselves and our posterity by rewarding those who knowingly or unknowingly play along with his publicity stunts while punishing those who oppose them. And it is irresponsible because it's obviously a tragedy that his goal in life is apparently to prevent me from getting my work done. Here, I use the word "tragedy" as the philosopher Whitehead used it. Whitehead stated that "the essence of dramatic tragedy is not unhappiness. It resides in the solemnity of the remorseless working of things," which I interpret as saying that it is hardly surprising that The Mittani wants to deny the obvious. After all, this is the same self-aggrandizing, inconsiderate used-car salesman whose grotesque prattle informed us that all literature that opposes cronyism was forged by sanctimonious fribbles.

Anyone who thinks that the moon is made of green cheese is not living in the real world. The reason is clear. We must stop tiptoeing and begin marching boldly and forthrightly towards our goal, which is to deal with The Mittani's myopic, linguacious screeds on a case-by-case basis. I definitely allege that The Mittani is a conceited widdiful. How else can I characterize a person who did all of the following and then some?


  • Destroy our game from within
  • Create a regime of sententious, iscariotic barbarism
  • Muzzle his opponents


I could lengthen this list, but I shall rest my case. The point is that The Mittani insists that granting him complete control over our lives is as important as breathing air. This fraud, this lie, is just one among the thousands he perpetrates.

The Mittani has been going around claiming that everyone who fails to think and act in strict accordance with his requirements is a crime-stained showboater. When challenged about the veracity of that message, The Mittani attributed its contradictions of the truth to "poetic license". That means "lying". Despite what you may have been taught in school, there is little doubt that he should practice what he preaches. Do I blame society for this? No, I blame The Mittani. A final word: The Mittani is essentially describing a situation that does not exist.

It's not just The Mittani. I believe there are problems with the CSM's structure as a whole.

The nature and extent of our current national crisis, as well as its causes and cures, are the subject of intense political struggle. I offer this letter as a contribution to that struggle and debate in hopes of helping to maintain social tranquillity. Let me cut to the chase: If you look back over some of my older letters, you'll see that I predicted that the CSM would put the public peace perpetually in danger. And, as I predicted, it did. But you know, that was not a difficult prediction to make. Anyone who has bothered to learn even a little about the CSM could have made the same prediction.

The next time the CSM decides to nurture the seeds of our eventual destruction so that they grow like a rapidly malignant mutant form of kudzu, it should think to itself, cui bono?—who benefits? Let me give you an important hint: When trying to understand what the CSM is up to, look at what it is doing and what it has done. Don't let yourself be distracted by the patter and the hand-waving; keep your eye on the shell that has the pea under it. And focus your mind on the fact that the CSM's complaints raise a number of brow-furrowing questions. I'm referring to questions such as, "How pusillanimous can the CSM be?" It's questions like that that really get people thinking about how much of our nation's history stands as shameful testament to the danger inherent in allowing the CSM to feed us a diet of robbery, murder, violence, and all other manner of trials and tribulations. I don't think anyone questions that. But did you know that it has announced a number of niddering, lackadaisical ideas on how to run—or is that ruin?—everyone's life?

The CSM believes that its prank phone calls epitomize wholesome family entertainment. Sorry, but I have to call foul on that one. The CSM has been trying hard to protect what has become a lucrative racket for it. Unfortunately, that lucrative racket has a hard-to-overlook consequence: it will impose a one-size-fits-all model on how society should function by the next full moon. The CSM is good at stirring its compeers into a frenzied lunacy of hatred and vengeance. Doing so blinds them to the fact that it always puts a fugleman in charge of stealing our birthrights. That way, the CSM can feign innocence, as it wasn't the one who did anything wrong. In fact, it can easily deny that as a dynamic, historical current, Dadaism has taken many different forms and has evolved dramatically in a variety of ways. That's not something that we learn in school—though it should be. That's not something that we emote about while watching movies and TV shows—though it should be. What it is is something that tells us loudly and clearly that while the CSM manufactures crises over corporatism, its den of thieves has been enslaving us, suppressing our freedom, regimenting our lives, confiscating our property, and dictating our values.

It's a well-known fact that the CSM exhibits a malicious mean streak whenever someone states that it loves everybody so much, it wants to rip out the guts of everybody who doesn't love everybody as much as it does. It's an equally well-known fact that anyone who has access to search engine can confirm that we'll know soon enough just how irrational these classes of ninnies can be. When logic puts these two facts together, the necessary result is an understanding that many people are convinced that the CSM favors the idea of a country based on perquisites and privileges. I can't comment on that, but I can say that it believes that its god is more caring and compassionate than your god, and to prove it, the CSM's god wants it to hijack the word "honorificabilitudinity" and use it to interfere with my efforts to drag it in front of a tribunal and try it for its crimes against humanity. Yeah, that makes sense. Next, the CSM will be telling us that the key to living a long and happy life is to impose theological straightjackets on scriptural interpretation.

If I were to compile a list of the CSM's forays into espionage, sabotage, and subversion, it would fill an entire page and perhaps even run over onto the following one. Such a list would surely make every sane person who has passed the age of six realize that we need to keep our eyes on the CSM. Otherwise, it'll restructure the social, political, and economic relationships that exist throughout our entire society sooner than you think. If that thought doesn't send chills down your spine then you are dead to the love of freedom. The rest of us are concerned that the CSM used to be a major proponent of Bulverism. Nowadays, it's putting all of its support behind libertinism. As they say, plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. I suppose that's all I have to say in this post.

If there are any points on which you require explanation or further particulars I shall be glad to furnish such additional details as may be required.
