Unguided ranting

Non-Sequitor Dreams

A star falls all the way from Heaven, takes a piss, and waits until the sun's risen to fly up again.

Knot-head punks with demon faces are anarchist philosophers meeting at the bus terminal.

Coffee beans and dead things.

The dream king stands atop an endless, spiral staircase.

Confronting the hag who lives on the edge of the tanglewood, haunting the Medieval faire over the hill.

These things leak into my head out of my pillow - the orange spots under the pillow case are dream stains.

"The police is the enemy.
Everywhere the white man goes he brings misery,
all throughout history - look it up." - Ghetto Youth, dead prez.

dead prez are black nationalists. They rap about revolution. However, some critics say they've started to appeal more to the their rap-gangster side than their revolutionary roots.

I am a Nationalist Socialist. No, don't freak out. Outside of the Western world, Nationalist Socialist means something different. I'm talking about an ideology truer to the term: nationalist in a patriotic and empire-building sense, and socialist in a Leftist, welfare-state sense. Not Nazism (which is what Nationalist Socialism is primarily associated with in Europe these days). My vision of Canada is an Imperial welfare state.

You may think that this is impossible for Canada to achieve. Sure we can be a welfare state with some radical changes, but how the hell is this wintry, pacificist pussy country going to become an empire?

Both are easily achieved, but not if democracy persists. Democracy is the root of indifference, the symbol of decadence, and the poison killing this country.

My vision of Canada is as far off as a dream. I call myself a nationalist, but it's not that there is anything at all to be proud, patriotic, or nationalist about in this country yet. If the status quo is maintained, immigration policies should be removed and the country open to the world. Why? There's no point in keeping the place closed. Canada has no reason to exist as a nation, and at present is merely a colony of the American empire.

Canada needs a complete cultural revolution before it can be an empire. Read Milan Kundera. Pop culture makes total war impossible.

The American empire is falling, and we need to detach ourselves as quickly as possible, or face ruin along with it. Let's take a leaf out of Russia's book. You see Gazprom? PM Harper points out how much better Canada is because we don't use our gas and oil resources as diplomatic leverage. Well, why the hell AREN'T we exploiting our most valuable resources for our own benefit? Free market? Globalization? Bullshit. We're getting ass-raped by the world, and all the money's going to a handful of oil companies.

Oil is the first step to empire. The second step is a military capable of defending this country when our benevolent protector / oblivious behemoth the United States either collapses or elects a Fascist who wants to make us the next Poland. The third step is using that military to secure absolutely and uncontestedly the Arctic. The fourth step is bringing Third World countries under our economic and political hegemony. The Carribean is a great place to start. They already want us in there. Let's accept the Turks and Caicos. They'll provide us a good first foot-hold.

Sandman: Dream Hunters is beautiful. Written by Neil Gaiman and illustrated by Yoshitaka Amano. It's another one of Neil Gaiman's fairy tales, along the lines of Stardust, Coraline, and MirrorMask, but it's a Japense fairy tale, and involves fox-spirits. Foxes are my favourite things in fairy tales and folklore, and Gaiman's prose is worth more praise than I can give. Amano also does spectacular illustrations. If there were ever pictures worthy of Gaiman's smooth, illuminative prose, it's Amano's pictures.
