Pixelated Semantics

A schizotypical inventory

Smiley-faced fascism, bizarre medicines, and the schizo flu

Hakim Bey on the Internet: seeing "catatonics babbling and drooling in a mental institution" - he also perceives

"some truth to the idea of technological determination, especially when you're unconscious, drifting around like a sleepwalker. Especially when you've given up believing in anti-capitalism because they've convinced you that the free market is a natural law, and we just have to accept that and hope for a free market with a friendly smiling face. Smiley-faced fascism".

Co-incidently, science has also just found a correlation between influenza during pregnancy and schizophrenia - a generic term for psychotic disorders that produce delusional or illogical thinking. Psychosis is also one possible outcome of the chemical torture alleged to have been practised in Gitmo in the name of "freedom". Likewise the reported "erratic behavior and wide mood swings", which can afflict not only inmates, but the Chief Torturer it appears - although GW's preferred medicine is apparently powerful anti-depressant drugs, which have serious side-effects if given to a person with a history of chemical dependency. However, it is also possible the whispering campaign over GW's state of mind is being fostered by Democrats in the lead-up to their next "election". Nevertheless, George Washington University psychiatrist Dr. Justin Frank describes GW as "an untreated alcoholic with paranoid and megalomaniac tendencies", a man who, after confronting questions at a recent media conference, exclaimed: "keep those motherfuckers away from me". It's also observable that when GW is in political trouble "he generates fear by declaring an imminent threat" - as another psychologist observes, "a lot of leaders gain their appeal by helping people feel they are heroic, particularly in a fight against evil". This is emphasised by the revelation today that the information used to create a current high-level alert for "terror attacks" on financial institutions in fact predates 9-11: the "alert" was actually timed to sideline the Democratic contender's acceptance speech in media coverage. In manipulating people's need for psychological security by emphasising a culture of fear and death, the fact is that such a leader becomes a leading terrorist through words, not bombs.
