Doctrinaire Ideologues: Relics of the Past

It is the overwhelming masses of China that will assert their primacy over minority government and then spill across borders into surrounding regions. Existing maps of Asia and Europe will become redundant overnight. People across the globe will be spurred into action as they drag their corrupt leaders from their lairs to face the quick judgement of the people. Bunkers deep in mountains, designed to harbour criminal elites in times of devastation, have only a finite supply of resources. The inhabitants can only postpone the inevitable; justice is patient.

Two extraordinary events marked the week following Easter, the Russian and Chinese authorities are resorting to religion to solve some of their people management problems. The Chinese government hopes to stem the tide of internal rebellion by re-instating Buddhism as the national religion while the Russian military is to incorporate military chaplains in an effort to curb sadistic bullying practices that have become endemic in the lower ranks.

Notwithstanding international pressure to allow religious freedom in China, it is with some amusement that we witness former hardline communist nations resort to the “opium of the people” to solve some of their social problems – communist ideology, zero, theological poetics, ten! Confronted with increasing levels of dissent and social disorder the Chinese have considered promoting traditional Confucian social regulatory codes but have opted for the theological option instead. Societies that incorporate a theological component have proven easier to manage.

It would seem that the theocratic model of ancient Egypt, initially emulated by Jewish tribes then adopted by the mother of the Roman Emperor Constantine, proved to be the superior model. There is no doubt that it is economically expedient to inculcate behaviour codes in the people rather than regulate social behaviour with military or other external means.

The Chinese government is also alarmed at the rapid spread of Christianity, which it views with suspicion as Western central control could undermine the authority of local government. However, the Chinese authorities have failed to realise that the real danger in Western religion is the apocalyptic aspect, the destructive end-time vision shared by the three major Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Islam and Christianity). Religious fanatics of all three religions espouse the doctrine of death and actively pursue the ‘millennium’, not realising that death and renewal are symbolic of personal (spiritual) transformation.

It is a bitter irony for China today that Maoism eradicated the indigenous religion of Taoism and the later import of Buddhism, which are both religions of harmony and Life. Whether today’s hedonistic and materialistic Chinese embrace the old religions or continue to revolt remains to be seen. However, if the Chinese government fails to address issues of poverty, injustice and the inequitable distribution of wealth, the introduction of religion would have no substantial effect on the popular revolt.

Preoccupation with religion is symptomatic of cultural decline, the bankruptcy of cultural values and the vacuity of materialistic pursuits; social decline is always heralded by increased religious activity. Religious activity also indicates that the population is unable to adequately cope with adverse social/environmental circumstances and the demands of life, this is especially the case in the West. Unfortunate consequences of religious revivals are fatalism and passivity, which only serve to exacerbate a negative social situation. Dynamic action and intervention are required when adverse social circumstances prevail; religion creates an involuted spiral from which it is difficult to escape.

The Chinese people are the hope of the free world as it is they who engage in pitch battles with the authorities when their rights and quality of life are compromised. The instances of fierce battles against government regulatory forces are increasing at an alarming rate (for the authorities).

It is the overwhelming masses of China that will assert their primacy over minority government and then spill across borders into surrounding regions. Existing maps of Asia and Europe will become redundant overnight. People across the globe will be spurred into action as they drag their corrupt leaders from their lairs to face the quick judgement of the people. Bunkers deep in mountains, designed to harbour criminal elites in times of devastation, have only a finite supply of resources. The inhabitants can only postpone the inevitable; justice is patient.

The West is sick with religion and the East is vital without it, the future is assured as a result – the above is not a fanciful fiction, it is based on years of analytical experience and expertise. The exact pattern is never known but a clear trend (or future direction) is always accessible to specialists. However, there are a number of possible future scenarios, all must necessarily unfold within circumstances that are considered irreversible in the near to medium future (the effects of pollution/climate change, limited resources, totalitarian government etc). There will be hell to pay for inaction or wrong action.

The sooner the people oust their criminal leaders the better; the necessity of that action should be obvious to everyone. And you need not worry too much about planning; the present nightmare scenario our leaders have created makes it simple to reverse destructive directions and implement harmonious policies.

It should never be forgotten that the future is a direct result of the present – it’s your move!
