Dear Mal-odour(or just plain stinky stink!). Of course I know you are
alluding to Mister Isadore (och there goes my orthography and my runs ons
are about to turn into the runs the logorehhea of my diarehea) Ducasse
author of the highblown rhetorical texts known as the Chants of... etc.. a
terrible wee book in my humble and humbling perspective. So, as for the rest
of your tit for tat rumblebumble attacks on me well!: here for one you
misread as usual: I say that slaves are at least in part, if not all,
responsible for their status. Second, does that sound much different from
what Fanon has said in his legendary books? The oppressed must speak up. If
they do not speak up , is it the fault of the Masters?? In other words dear
laddy-lad if Mrs. M. Thatcher was Primer Minister again tomorrow whose fault
would that be? We destroy ourselves and bring our own oppression about
because we are in division my dear malodorous stinky friend: our interests
and desires collide and conflict each everyday of our dilly dally dull
lives. Left hand dont do what right hand commands. You dig?? You see in the
west that is called being a fool; in the east, the nonmonotheistic east we
dont have such pressing dualisms to heed by. So no, dear one I dont think
every single arab Mickey and Minnie is responsible for the brutal and
violent regimes in the arab world; I dont think the little gal and guy
living near the Tigris Euphrates is responsible for Saddam Hussein being in
power at all.  In fact ninnypoo I never said that. I said that arab
dictators got there by virtue of several things: One their own ruthless
drive to power; 2: I also happen to believe the history of Islam is a
violent and conquering one and that Islam is no more morally upright than
any other victorius (oops watch that spelling Elm!!) world thrusting power;
I also (3) that Islam wiped out the great polytheistic feminine religions of
yore a la Sheba and others -- well detailed in the Sat! anic Verses on a
fictional level for instance -- and that this drive to phallocratic
assertion is a male thing; this thesis is not unusal and many feminists
thinkers might agree; I think that the peoples of the Middle East were a
long time ago less in the mind for adoring One God until Judaism
Christianity and Islam came along. I think these three world-religions are
stinky pooh. I suspect that ( I am way off here and into points 3,4,5,
etc...) perhaps if they had not been the dominant forces of western history
combined with the greek and roman minds of the Mediterranean basin we might
find ourselves a tad more peaceful and supple: But then the west would
holler: What about Bach? and Mister Shakespeare? And I would retort, what
about them? and what about that miserable maniac Count Lautreamont? and his
horribel prose sandwhichs? these diatribes by an isolated french maniac
written in 19 th c. France? O Kali Mama Protect me from the Fiends of
Western googaga. Give me a god I carry to the door when I leave and a
goddess I can sleep with when snoozing! A portable libido to invest my weary
time with. Of course mister Freud is all divine divested. I would say I
Prefer to be called Eldorra of Finnegans Wake. That to me is a nonwestern
work. Now about our friends the Palestinians. well I just happen to think
they are brave and way ahead of their brothers and sisters in the Arabic
world. I suspect that their recent adherence to a religious edge is a result
of not having the opportunity to be secular in a manner that permits them
choices: I dont imagine they have much time to even consider these matters
esp. the 12 year old kids who fight with rocks and pebbles and so on.
However I think their corrupt leader is the man to blame: but then someone
might say No, he hath no choice. I say he does. Take off your hat Mister
Arafat. For instance last week when he was let out of his 'headquarters' and
the Kids were all there cheering saying we Will all die and be Martyrs I
think it was HIS RESPONSIBILITY to say to the Kids ! No Kids this cannot be:
You must live in Joy and find the true path to liberty: HaD he done that he
would have been a Moral Leader as a sleazy politican leaping from one crisis
to another;  I mention Mandela and Martin Luther King as instances of moral
victory and political power combined: Arafat had many times the choice to
make a bold step into the direction of peace: I am thinking of the early
Intifata: I used to think: Hey why dont he just give up and go to the them
Israelies and say: Here Am  I: I surrender: take me I am thy prisoner: But
no, the Bimbo went for the big rhetoric of the arab lingo and he went and
supported Saddam Hussein and his mother of all battles babble and high flown
and most dangerous to the Iraqui people war; Who paid for that war? The Iraq
people did: and one could say now that the Palestinian people are also
paying for Mister FatCatArafat'S dummy mistakes: This guy Arafat he banned
Mister Edward Said'S books. Has Mister Arafat ever read Mister Said? Has
Mister Arafat ever read Israel Shamir or Noam Chomsky? I doubt, I doubt he
has done so more than Mister Bloody Sharon shame be on his name for ever. So
if these bums are not accountable for their  peoples then the people must be
accountable and must say Nay: It is not the leader who is responsible for
the failure of the people to take their liberty and rise up and revolt.
There is a German analyst named W. Reich: he hath a book called: The Mass
Psychology of Fascism (or some such title) and in that book he says: It is
not that people steal or break laws that is surprising , it is that they do
not steal bread and break laws that is surprising. He also says in another
passage of this book: "AFTER CENTURIES OF EXPLOITATION, WHY DO PEOPLE STILL
TOLERATE BEING HUMILATED AND ENSLAVED, TO SUCH A POINT, INDEED,
THAT THEY ACTUALLY WANT HUMILATION AND SLAVERY NOT ONLY FOR OTHERS BUT FOR
THEMSELVES?. REICH IS AT HIS PROFOUNDEST WHEN as a thinker when he refuses
to accept ignorance or illusion on the part of the masses as an explanation
of fascism, and Demands
AN EXPLANATION THAT WILL TAKE THEIR DESIRES INTO ACCOUNT, an explanation
formulated in terms of desire:
NO, the masses were not innocent dupes; at a certain Point, under a Certain
Set of conditions
, they wanted fascism, and it is This Perversion of the desire of the masses
that needs to be accounted for." So this is the painful truth that all
peoples need to examine: how does one account for the fascistic desires of
the mass the herd the crowd?? I speculate that this desire is partially the
result of the conquest of the World (almost thank goody Krishna) by western
powers and ideas and technocracies etc. So now: we must find another way of
thinking of these problematos. In Indian thought there is a way to account
for this as there is Eastern thought: the left side of the self and the
right side are at war; we are puppets of desire; Desire is the war; we are
the selves incarnated to act this out:a kalpa is one million years; a war is
a mere wink in the eyes of the goddess of war and so Maya is what makes us
believe it: we believe in territory and land and war and peace and all of
these dastardly dualities destroy us with earthshattering forces of violence
and shoch and F16s and helicopters and bullets and mothers dying giving
birth at checkpoints and in the minds of those who died at the disco in Tel
Aviv there is nothing but hatred and blood dusty limbs scatterd and hatred
and memories of the holocaust and the images of Rwanda and Bosnia and
Cambodia are exploding across their minds and the soldier guard is a madman
too a player in a bit part movie called the western world and its atrocities
which fire on and on and fire and burn and slaughter: there is no end to
that hatred caused and built by desire which has no map and no shelter; do
you think there is an answer with the stinky Chants of Maldoror? or the
western bible and its myths of progenesis and violence and exile?? Where
cometh Gilgamesh and the ancient gods and goddesses of the Middle East and
their combined loves with the Bindu of the Far East and The Tao of flow of
China? Wherefore the flattened horizontal oligarchies of the Chinese caste
and Indian caste systems?? I know not the replies: but something slips into
my little mind and Sai! th: In the east is a rhetoric that knows better
because we are teeming in the Billions and In Africa there is also something
called Non Western which hath a reply not vengeful and rational cold dead
extermination camps of Russia Germany and WW2 and your wester world which by
1967 had already massacred 100,000,000 million peoples in their wars: And
even Mao had come by his great march with war weapons of the west. Hmmm  big
questions and delires to ponder dream on and dread the concept of its
outcome: who invented the atomic bomb? The west. So there is mad desire that
wishes to despot and destroy itself and who sells them the oil; saudi arabia
and who takes the cash and spends it on destroying their own people; rich
arabs who are muslim; therefore the people of those countries are the ones
who must kick off the dull torpor of their already dead tyrants.If not they,
who else then?? To quote a rabbi: If I am not for myself, who will be for
me? I am a Jew who lives in India in the body of the man and woman child I
was born. There is no river beside me that has the truth of the west. Send
me a Sufi: Here is a tale: One night the Famous Sufi master came home to
find a burglar had entered his chambers and was(had)  filling(ed) a sack
with all his most valuable possessions; the Master was not heard by the
thief in the night; he crept behind him slippered feet light over the floor
and began to help the crook load the bag: at first the crooked man did not
note this; a few moments afterwards he realized the Sufi was there and he
turned in fear and saith to him: What are you doing? Don't you realize I am
robbing you? And the Ruddin said, Robbing me, I thought we were moving.
Eldorra the 12 year old boy crying Baba Baba my life is at end: I go to
Allah now to sweet mysteries of the halls of love and the scent of prayer
and happiness. In heaven we are at peace. I am okay in Allah's breast when
Allah marries Vishnu She the old goddess returns to Kiss Allah in her arms
and the widow of Muhammed has made pleasure his goal and not war; she also
marries many and not one; Eldorra of Mitchell in the sands of Arabia and the
cult of the Goddess across the sea to India and the spice trading paths; the
old mountains of Afghanistan destroyed by the western imperial bombers; men
who fly with no pain to ravage and waste the terrains of evil and good
below; Eldorra who cries on videos replayed a billion times; but the
children of Cambodia were also the ones of Eldorra: what does Kurtz say:
they cut off the arms of the ones we had given the vaccine to; that was
horror; the horror, the Ouroborous of desire and its monstrous shield
infectios contagion of penetration and the thousand arms of mutilation. Kali
the thinker thunder goddess who spits out Pallas Athena her subsister not
barely able to carry out her duties to some trade god around the
Mediterranean basis; and the Philistines invading Gaze (the bride of the
Arabs) and the land of Canaan is cursed with refuse and blood with olives
born of blood tiding the circus lands of fertile crescents and Dogon the
fish god who eats the children of rice; and the Millions of Chinamen
copulating bumbs bounding higher than all the william blakes of london and
its mad visionaries of flight and stoic pretenders to the throne of god; god
the character in a grammar movie in the west; its Phoenician phonetic
boredome having reached its end now over the book finished with its dead
grammars of livning and dead; Jesus our Krishna of the west without a cock a
doodle doo where are you in the Easter bloody nightmare of this April is the
cruelest month bloody rose of Sharon and the camps reopening and the babies
beaten and the disks destroyed and the Bank of Pales! tine plundered and the
Nigerians in prison beaten tortured and humilated.: And my Papa Genet in
Algeria Morroco and Palestine: yes Palestine is part of India did not you
know? Did not you know that Palestine is the daughter of India?
  Finally one final funamble finale wordy word: if you wish to write me off
list and I think it apt to reply in public please understand I am a public
episteme and not a private type.
Yours Elm.
