    The True Christian History of America is a powerful documentary, showing the Bible-based Christian origins of the early American view of Mass Genocide and Exterminator Nation of Blood Drinking Monsters. The Bible used as a Christian Abomination White Supremacist where Negrews were Slaves and Native Indians were Beasts, only White People were Humans. "The nation's that Loves God, shall be turned into hell!" 100 Millions Native First Nations MURDERED by White Trash (Washington, Addams, Lincoln) % All Mass Murderers Same as Adolph Hitler Holocaust on Jews, He Got His Ideas from America's Exterminations of American First Nations. Remember! America history is Mass Murderers, Terrorist Slavery of mass murderers Natives and NO OTHER NATION even Romans who Destroy Jerusalem and Mass Murdered Jews has been MASS MURDERING AMERICA we are THE MASS MURDERER EMPIRE and WE HAVE NUKES TO KEEP THOSE Russians and Chinese Gooks afraid. America Loves to Mass Murder Gooks and Spicks then we Eat Dead Murdered Babies Bodies Bar Be Qued Dead Baby Bar Be Qued

The poem is recited in chapter four, by Tweedledum and Tweedledee to Alice. The Walrus and the Carpenter are the eponymous characters in the poem, which is recited by Tweedledum and Tweedledee to Alice. Walking upon a beach one night when both sun and moon are visible, the Walrus and Carpenter come upon an offshore bed of oysters. Groups of four are called up; the exact number is unknown. To the disapproval of the eldest oyster, many more follow them. After walking along the beach (a point is made of the fact that the oysters are all neatly shod despite having no feet), the two main characters are revealed to be predatory and eat all of the oysters. After hearing the poem, the good-natured Alice attempts to determine which of the two leading characters might be the more sympathetic, but is thwarted by the twins' further interpretation: "I like the Walrus best," said Alice, "because you see he was a little sorry for the poor oysters." "He ate more than the Carpenter, though," said Tweedledee. "You see he held his handkerchief in front, so that the Carpenter couldn't count how many he took: contrariwise." "That was mean!" Alice said indignantly. "Then I like the Carpenter best-if he didn't eat so many as the Walrus." "But he ate as many as he could get," said Tweedledum. This was a puzzler. After a pause, Alice began, "Well! They were both very unpleasant characters-" The characters of the Walrus and the Carpenter have been interpreted many ways both in literary criticism and popular culture. Some, including the character Loki in the film Dogma, interpret the Walrus to be a caricature of the Buddha and the Carpenter to be a caricature of Jesus Christ. British essayist J. B. Priestley argued that the figures were political, as does Walter Russell Mead, who utilises the Walrus and the Carpenter as an allegory for Britain and the United States respectively. However, in The Annotated Alice, Martin Gardner notes that, when Carroll gave the manuscript for Looking Glass to illustrator John Tenniel, he gave him the choice of drawing a carpenter, a butterfly, or a baronet, since each word would fit the poem's metre. Because Tenniel rather than Carroll chose the carpenter, the character's significance in the poem is probably not in his profession, and interpretations of the poem as a commentary on religion are likely false. Gardner cautions the reader that there is not always intended symbolism in the Alice books, which were made for the imagination of children and not the analysis of "mad people".

Wilson has been described at various times throughout his life as a novelist, philosopher, psychologist, essayist, editor, playwright, poet, futurist, civil libertarian and agnostic mystic. Karl Hess was a noted speechwriter (for Barry Goldwater among others) and author, and later in his life became known as a tax resister, welder, and market anarchist. In this video from the Libertarian Party's Nominating Convention in 1987 Wilson and Hess team up and field questions from the audience in a humorous, frequently witty, and occasionally irreverent dialogue on everything from early 20th century European and American literature to politicians' inflated egos to pranking the government, yuppies, jaywalking tickets, what the average American should know, and covert operations in Cuba.

I felt like a voyer As i wandered along the school grounds with the protagonist, trying to understand Why alll humans share the same dream of Individuation and fear of psychic entropy. That familiar feeling of Deja Vu, or setting recrecognition and detachment from the a events of the dream themselves, create the perfect alchemy of cosmic horror to sit and marinade in until the story reaches it's fevered climax. Thanks so much for sharing!

    I remember reading this in a Book by the same name. Your reading agrees with my Brain's remembering in "The Gernsback Continuum" 1981 I was born in 1949 and started reading Andre Norton and Robert Heinlein in 1959. I am a Science Fiction NUT-CASE! Everything Is Nice Beating the nice nice nice thing to death (with fluffy pillows) ‘The Gernsback Continuum’ by William Gibson But this story led the way. It was a cooly accurate perception of the wrongheaded elements of the past - and a clarion call for a new SF estethtic of the Eighties. That from the Sterling’s brief introduction to ‘The Gernsback Continuum’ which also notes that it is Gibson’s first professional publication. This is surprising not just for its immediate quality and Gibson’s already distinctive sensibility but because it much more closely resembles his current work, rather than what I think of when I think of his early cyberpunk period. It is set in the present (which is to say the Eighties), can be read as entirely mimetic and features none of the trappings we would usually associate with cyberpunk. Gibson may have become stylistically more oblique but the protagonist of this story wouldn’t seem out of place in Pattern Recognition: I’d gone over to shoot a series of shoe ads; California girls with tanned legs and frisky Day-Glo jogging shoes had capered for me down the escalators of St. John’s Wood and across the platforms of Tooting Bec. The photographer is commissioned to gather images for a coffee table book of “American Streamlined Moderne”, real world examples of the sort of architecture Paul R Frank drew for Hugo Gernsback. Gradually this never was world of fluted chrome and aluminium starts to impinge on his reality. In terms of linking the story to anything Sterling identifies in his preface, that internationality is there from the beginning but otherwise it is hard to spot the nascent germ of cyberpunk. Rather this seems like an instinctively Ballardian story, albeit seen through the lens of a fresh generation. It is all there: architecture, 20th Century American history, invisible literature, commodity fetishism, alienation. As I said though, Gibson’s own sensibility shines through. To start with, he is a rather more open writer (although this has changed as his career has progress); a Ballard protagonist would never come out and refer to “my little bundle of condensed catastrophe”. There is more to it than that though. A line like “really bad media can exorcise your semiotic ghosts” makes you sit up and take notice. It is distinctly Ballardian but already distinctly Gibsonian. Really quite wonderful.
