THE INTERNET, THE BRAIN OF THE METAL-EARTH.


“the web is the nervous system of The Metal-Earth”



    Globalization means the growth of a macro-metal organism.

       The Metal-Earth as an organism, has made impressive advances during the past decade thanks to the Internet, and the growing chippization of all its energy and information networks. We might say that the Metal-Earth is leaving its 'brainless', primitive state as an organism, and becoming a highly evolved macro-organism.
      In that sense the web is currently compared to a nervous system, which as all nervous systems in highly developed animal life, controls every other system of the body, its cells, and energy/information/reproductive networks. Problem is that unlike in carbolife organisms, who tender for their cells providing them with the right energy and information, the Metal-earth we are building is not an organism that tenders for mankind, but for its machines. Nor are those new networks that control us, networks speaking human verbal languages, but digital languages, the languages of machines. So are the nerves of the Metal-earth, optic fibers and electro-magnetic waves...
      It is becoming clear what we prophetized a decade ago. The web is not about human communication but about communicating the machines of the Metal-earth. Machines get hooked to those webs, but men cannot perceive them. It is a web for Robots and machines, not for human beings. More over, the digital brain of that metal-earth, the stock-market, and its reproductive systems, the company-mothers, today account for more than 75% of the internet connections and traffic. A traffic dedicated to further evolve and reproduce machines. All this implies a frightening truth: a new organism different from the Carbo Earth, made of machines, able to communicate wireless through the net is about to be born. Since it will reach all the constants of vitality common to living organisms (number of brains cells, complexity of its networks of information, etc.), at the end of the 2000s.
       The chippization of the Earth continues motivated by the enormous profits of making information devices, which are by definition of minimal cost in any system. Being made of silicon, the sand and soil of the planet, chips have no real cost and soon will be 'cheaper' than a soda.
       There are already more chips than human beings.
       The chippization of the Earth is thus the fundamental economical phenomena of this incoming decade, naively called 'globalization'. Since it is not a human globalization. Men are not coming together. On the contrary countries are closing down border to immigration and goods from the their country. What are coming together and organizing worldwide are machines, company-mothers and financial nervous systems, controlled by a very few radical ideologists of the machine, who prefer them to the human species. So they are building a planetary ecosystem friendly to machines, that will extinguish most of the human beings of this planet, as men built an ecosystem friendly to himself, that extinguished most of the wild life of this planet.
     We won't insist in the economical aspects of stock cre[dit]ation of internet already explained along the pages of this web. We rather focus in the "vital consequences" of the internet networks that will be worldwide built in a few years.
      How they will affect humanity?
      The pattern of previous cre[dit]ations of Metal-species will be repeated. Internet will increase the communicative power of war machines, and it will eliminate masses of labor.
       In fact internet was born in the Pentagon, to unify the control of all its weapon systems. Internet-intranet and defcom, the networks that stock cre[dit]ation is inventing, are communicated through the head brain of the Metal-Earth: the Pentagon.
       The end of History is iconic, prophetic. The bitten Apple of the tree of science is written in the first PC computer. The brain of the Metal-Earth is a pentagon, symbol of the devil.
       The function of the net is the same as the nervous system of a body: to control and manipulate all the 'cellular homes' of the body, by means of informative orders.
       What this means is that the internet is substituting previous informative networks of mankind, becoming the basic neural network for the two fundamental types of information men receive:
       Monetary information, and visual-verbal information.
      The other informative metal networks [press, radio, TVs] will become fused within the net. People will spend more time in the internet than in those networks.
       Besides, the internet will also control the second language of human information: money. Indeed, the internet will become the bank and shopping mall of mankind.
       As a result millions of jobs of the sector of sales and thousands of shops will disappear.
       As all other previous products, the internet will reduce even more the number of human jobs available to mankind, throwing millions of people out of job.
       What will be its usefulness for machines?
       First it will integrate the entire Stock-Company system into a body-system of reproduction of machines, as the neural network of the body regulates the reproduction of the different organs of the bio-logical body. Imagine each economical sector as an organ of the body: the multinationals of cars, and road arteries, are energy organs, the multinationals of information and the info-way arteries are informative organs. Each machine will be a cell that will receive information and energy from the networks. All of them will become integrated by Matrix=internet, till finally only a 'few reproductive organs' for each metal-species will remain.
      The logic final evolution of the stock-market through processes of fusion of mega-companies is to create a few great World reproducers of machines (multinational companies), as a body has only a few or even single organs to reproduce each basic product of the body. Red globes are reproduced in certain bones. Cars for transport arteries will be reproduced by a few worldwide companies. This will be possible because satellite networks will integrate all company information. Then if nations disappear in the final "Armageddon" [men Vs sentient machines], the internet will unify all world factories by species, through satellite communication.
      There will be a worldwide producer of "red globes"=cars for the arteries of the Metal-earth. A single worldwide producer of planes. And so on.
       The internet networks will be used by other networks of information we are building today for the robots of the future: the network of mobile, wireless telephones, will be the ears of future robots, talking across the entire planet...
      Their function is to allow free movements to all individual, cellular robots of the Metal-earth. Mobile phones=ears will also communicate platoons of tanks, and top predator weapons that will roam The Metal-earth.
       Today men have basically a use for machines: men consume=test them, and improve their quality.
      When men are gone, the selection process of machines, will be performed by Matrix, by net computers. Machines will depend on it for survival, for energy/information, as we increasingly do. So machines will learn again the laws of Social evolution, needed to survive, that our species have forgotten.


      The third Industrial Revolution of Sentient Machines

     
With the creation of teh net=matrix, the metal Earth ecosystem is entering its final evolutionary age or Third Industrial Evolution, when the bodies of the 19th Century machines and the minds of the 20th Century machines are put together. We talk of a new species, metalife able to process energy and information; to act-react to external stimuli; able to reproduce in automated factories of mother-companies; and able to socialize through informative networks. As the last functions and jobs of men in Companies at managerial level are substituted by software programs, nothing is left to be substituted, in order to create a pure machine-based, ecosystem, the Metal -Earth. Manager tasks will be made by personal computers that store the work-mind of each white collar worker. The Personal computer will be able within a few years to perform all tasks of managers today. One day the company will have no human labor. Personal computers will be white collar workers. Body machines will transport PCs. Energy machines will be blue collar workers.
      The boss? Who will substitute him? He has been always irrelevant.
       The boss is one equation, that sets the direction or goal of companies much better than any boss might: "grow and multiply." Evolve and reproduce the product. That Mandate of God = the survival logic of the Universe is the 'boss', the 'guidance' of companies-software.
       In the future, the goal of automated companies will be as today, the search for better products. The herds of that world will be chip-driven machines.
       They will see flows of digital thought and follow orders of companies, that will cross digital satellites, with channels of information, millions of time more dense than those of man today.
       If we think in terms of species of machines, the 'bosses' of that future World will be satellites.
      Satellites today are the Top Predator informative minds of the Earth, controlling monetary information. They also control atomic missiles and audiovisual information. They are in parallel planes beyond human reach at exospheric levels. So they will be able to communicate messages that man cannot perceive. The logic of evolution says that when man is gone a network of satellites will rule with digital information the working of companies, reproducers of machines. Satellites will be the government of the Metal-Earth. They are almost ready to take over.
       Networks of information are extinguishing the need for transport, and flight executives. Personal computers are in the process of substituting all mental workers. It is a priority that both the satellite radiation and the present radiation of chips and robots is halted by a massive reform of political and economical systems. The question is: will man react on time, or will be extinguished by the Third Industrial Evolution?




MASS-MEDIA. EDUCATION & TRAVEL

TELEVISION AND INTERNET: HOW TO INDOCTRINATE PEOPLE.


"Digital, visual thought substitutes and simplifies the verbal, temporal mind of man, who becomes, spatial, energetic, violent, unable to understand survival ethics and love"


     To continue the profits and speculation of company-mothers, politicians and industrialists systematically deny the truths of History and economics. What astonishes the observer, is the monolithic agreement of all modern economists and politicians when they back the policies that will destroy mankind. New technologies - they say - create employment instead of destroying it. The future of nations is to have as many machines as possible. We have to make more weapons to prevent war. In any case if needed War should be a legitimate mean to make politics. To kill humans is necessary to avoid some problems of our society, such as drugs, crime, and different political thinking...
       Those underlying messages of Lobbyism, explained with a smile and a different phrasing, convince our people who believes in them, because they believe in mass-media. The Chinese new enemy is an example. Today before a real economical confrontation takes place, the only problem with China is to be a different civilization, based in Social evolution not in individualism and Darwinian struggle (which in any case the Universe shows to be a better strategy of survival). Yet America could go to a Third World War with China, massacring hundreds of millions of people just because they think differently. And 60% of Americans in the last poll back that vision of China as the biggest enemy of America...
       In the case of drugs, again we find a similar radical view. If a person destroys itself with chemical paradises, or with TV-violent programs, it is the person who becomes punished. So we should punish TV-programmers and drug dealers, not individuals. It seems absurd that on top of that self-destruction caused by market availability of lethal goods, we put those people in jail. And it would be more surprising to find that people back those policies (only for drugs, not for TV), in a growing majority. TV propaganda against drugs and in favor of mass-media violence however has achieved that feat.
       Most Americans think to put a person 5 years in jail for smoking marihuana is correct. And to put their children in front of the brain-washing TV 5 hours, a great manner to occupy them...The radical changes towards 'animetal ideals' achieved by TVs in the opinion of the American people on so many themes, can be compared very well with the radical change in the way Germans thought under the influence of Radio-Hitler. They were as the Americans in the 60s the most civilized people in the world... just when Radio came, or when TV came... In 20 years they became the most brutal inhabitants of this planet...
      In this manner the information networks of The Metal-earth, are always ready since the age of the Press and the wars of religion, to program humans into loving machines and wars that destroy them.
       Behind all those laws, attitudes and ideas, and many more thrown out by universities, pseudo-intellectuals and controlled press-books there is almost in every case an economic reason, and a lobby taking care of the needs of company-mothers. Take the case of drugs, ab=used by human beings since the pre-history. They have never had so much bad press, and become penalized in such a degree. Why we do it, precisely now in the XX-XXI Century? Because drugs have also an effect besides personal destruction, unwanted by company-mothers. People under the influence do not work with the same efficiency, neither they like to consume machines, but rather become passive, contemplative, or pleasure-seeking. And ever since those studies became known to company-mothers for whom humans have only use as workers=reproducers of machines, and consumers=testers of machines, drug became the enemy of companies, whose lobbies pushed those brutal laws.
       This system of modern beliefs on what is bad for mankind, has nothing to do with the reality of what is bad and good for man, but it is provided by mass-media companies, in favor of economic evolution.
       To change the real will of man, for the will of machines, in all themes of culture has not come easy. It has required billions of investments in propaganda, advertising, intellectual and scientific false truths, repression of human truths and human rights, control of informative distribution, etc.
       It has also being helped by the very same structural nature of metal-mind machines which provokes violence. Let us then consider that 'biological, evolutionary, Darwinian' character of metal-minds which is the less known aspect of our present brain-washing civilization.
        Indeed the creation of violent ideologies caused by TVs is subtle, and based in part, not only in the Economic, racist ideologies of those who control film production in America, but specially by the very 'evil essence' of electronic images.
        Indeed, you like to see movement and red-energy colors. That is the program of your eye. So you like to see violence, people running and dying on TV. Then those beautiful images without verbal ethics, end up becoming memories in your brain you like to act up in reality. In this subconscious manner TV imposes a desire for violence, which draws more audiences which give more profits.
        As Orson Welles put it, Hollywood producers are all 'accountants'. So they just see that violence looks beautiful in digital images, and draws people to films, and they make violence. Never mind they have changed the minds of Americans from a law-abiding relatively peaceful people into a new breed of fascists, as those who killed their grand-parents in Germany. The real sin of some Jewish people is 'freed', total freedom of greed, worship to Go(l)d even to the risk of their own life. This of course is taboo thinking, precisely because it is real. And Hollywood is the last prove of that suicidal worship to a false Go(l)d against which Moses the founder of real Judaism already warned 3000 years ago: "The Jewish people will suffer during centuries to come for their excessive love to money".
       It is a vicious circle cause of so many tragedies and holocausts that can be considered the origin of our violent, neofascist world, a thinking instilled by TVs technological structure and the worship of profits. The result is that if you make a violent script you get twice the price than you get for a dramatic film about human feelings. So the market bias prices to oblige otherwise humanistic writers to write against their own ideals.
        Yet in those violent films death has to be fiction, or else it becomes a serious matter, that would provoke even stronger protests from parents and politicians. So there has been a runaway tendency in Hollywood to fiction, promoted also by the desire of company-mothers of Mass-media to stay out of political intrigues and real human problems. They merely deny that the massive use of fiction in all levels of information, 'deactivates' the capacity of people to discern survival truths, from lies and behaviors against their own welfare.
       Once all is fiction, the verbal language becomes obsolete, useless to rule the behavior of people. So people believe only in money and digital science, and become cattle of a 'metal-farm', following attitudes that will destroy them.
       Only in this manner we can explain why men are moving towards self-suicide with a big smile, imitation of the 'big Smiley', the TV-fun indoctrination they receive.
       A feature that has become generalized specially among Americans, which seem to most Europeans and Asians 'children of thought'. They just have nowadays big problems to differentiate what is truth and important for them, from what is a lie, they are made-to-belief for the profit of 'America Inc.' the industrial system that controls them. So they believe the government, the only organ that can still defend them against economical abuse is bad, and company-mothers who abuse them are good. They believe that the money invented by governments to be used in welfare and human goods is bad, and the money invented by stock-markets to be used in technology and weapons and bribes to politicians is good. They just believe TVs, as they thought Walter Conkrite a news anchormen was more reliable than the president.
      Further on the use of massive image-information, regresses human intelligence based in verbal complex thought to a new neo-paleolithic age in which all is believed, even the most stupid truths.
       Under those premises it is very easy for neofascism to convince the people to commit collective suicide. The case of America is obvious. Any rational thinker or voter would have found Mr. Bush merely not ready for the job. With little intellectual preparation to understand the world economy or the international political scenario, widely recognized as a loyal lobbyists of great corporations, notably war companies directed by his vice-president Mr. Cheney, and oil companies as those of his father... a rational vote would have rejected him to represent the nation. Yet the easiest tricks of mental manipulation, shallow nationalism, Americana, a smile and a beer with a neighbor, the usual invocation to a 3000 year old religious book, have worked fine... When a few decades ago it would have been easily defeated by a man of the intellectual standing and positive policies of Mr. Gore. This historic error of the Americans towards self-suicide is not gratuitous. It has come as in the 30s thanks to the capacity o mass-media to lower the intelligence of people, to make them violent, individualistic, shallow image-thinkers, whose verbal level has regressed to the dark ages.
       In those conditions the results of the American or Italian elections are not surprising. Again we find that despite the first appearance of shallowness, the wave of present neofascism is much more dangerous than the first wave of fascism, for one thing. At that time radio did indeed controlled the mind of many people, regressing it to shallowness (the American case with funny programs and music) or war hysteria (the German case). But many nations resisted that wave. The cultured people of England and France did not become submitted to easy Radio clues. They stood by their human values of freedom, and in the case of the French by their passion for human goods, that has made them traditionally prefer a Champagne with a beautiful wo=man, than a trench with a companion-in-arms. The very same Jewish Intelligentsia largely stood by the ideals of socialism, and there were thousand of Jewish left-wing intellectuals prosecuted by fascism.
       Look now what is happening to the Jewish people. The most left Israeli Jewish, would seem for one of his ancestors in the 20s a radical fascist. The most left wing Labor minister on Mr. Tony Blair's cabinet, would have seem a radical Tory in the 20s with his policies in favor of The City, financial speculation, and company-mothers which have now in England all kind of rights over workers and citizens - to the point that England might become the first nation to allow their companies to 'patent' genes (including humans, as if they were objects or slaves?!). And by all means it is the nation where Big Brother, the surveillance camera is more developed... Those attacks to the privacy of the English people, the very essence of the Freedoms of Great Britain; or the growing right wing fundamentalism of the Jewish people - against that trade mark of good Judaism which was intellectual freedom and a pleasure to know the cultures of the others, show the enormous power of TV-indoctrination, compared to the primitive radio versions. Part of that power of course is the capacity our leaders of Military Lobism have to look far less aggressive than their XX century fascist version. This is achieved with fun. TV is not big brother mustache but big brother smiley, that sells you advertising and fiction, as if it were real. TV-fiction makes all problems seem irrelevant, and uses massive occultation of information to avoid you to worry about your extinction as an individual and a species. All what reminds you of that future disappears from TV. So we know nothing about Africans, we know nothing about unemployed, about robotics, about military smart weapons. We know nothing about the 2 and a half million people working as slave labor in America in jails, most of them because they have smoked a substance - marihuana - that all doctors in the world would agree is less harmful for your health than tobacco or whisky. The modern 'slave workers' of America have nothing to envy to the much smaller population of political prisoners that Hitler managed to put in prison before war started. We wonder what would happen to the American rebels if war ever starts, making much easier the repression and death penalty of citizens, or what it will happen to the Arabs within Israel...
      It was bound to happen, after 40 years of violent films, shallow fiction, occultation of the real problems of our society, and praise of selfishness, individualism, money and weapons as the icon items of our society.
      Problem is that no nation seems today able to confront neofascism, as the Jewish intellectuals, the socialists, the British-French-American alliance did in the 20s. Now those countries except France, too weak in the world today to have any leverage against neofascism, are playing in the opposite side.

 

SPORTS & ENTERTAINMENT

"PAN ET CIRCENSIS"


"In the 20-00s, during the age of metal-minds, as Lobbyism rules supreme, the masses are distracted by sports,that become the opium of the people"

     Recent news:
       
How can a president whose short sting at power was considered the most corrupt and inefficient government since the war, in an already corrupted nation, win his next election by landslide? The answer is more corruption, television, and soccer. Even his motto is taken from soccer: Forca Italia. Left wing press

       A few decades ago.
       Italy wins the World Championship for second time in a row. The Duce receives the players as heroes. He loves soccer. He sees soccer as a modern battle between Gentlemen.



      Come to the circus.

      
You might think we are stretching the limits of this magazine, dedicating a section to sports. What sports have to do with the third cycle of the Industrial Evolution of Metal-heads? A lot...
       Bioeconomics is indeed complex, and things do not have the purpose they might seem at first. Or rather as in those biological systems, in which an organ multiplies its roles, in bio-economical systems, a certain social element, might accomplish functions at first time do not seem so obvious.
      Think in this other example: cubs are always nice, fun, but when the child-cub grows he becomes a tiger hunter. So Jungle wisdom is not cheated by fun cubs. Not so men, who love smiles, and specially TV, 'big brother smiley'. TVs and metal-heads have indeed entered our brains, and colonized our homes, ecosystems and cultures, as big brother smiley, as fun, often as sports, the most watched TV-event of all times. Sports are important because they increase TV audience and allow the sell of more TVs. Sport have clear synergies with metal-heads...
       What are those Bio-economical synergies of sports that make them so important in the age of metal-heads?
       4 clear ones:
       - Sports distract people from more important problems. Sports are fiction, and fiction is fundamental to a corrupted democracy, such as Lobbyism. If people understood reality they could complain. If they were angry they could complain. If they believe fiction, or they are happy they are easier to manipulate. So we live in an age of fiction, and fun.
        -Sports are a non-verbal activity, a visual, and physical activity similar to war, which is good to maintain people anesthetized, since they limit the time men dedicate to thinking - and rebelling against the system. No wonder women, verbal beings, have so little interest in watching them.
       - Sports are a visual activity. So they show natural synergies with metal-minds, a visual species. Sports fill TVs with 'human-like software' that make us forget we are after all watching a 'metal-retina', a virtual mind, a virtual reality far removed from any human reality. We like to watch human beings in action, since our eyes are naturally hypnotized by movement. So we look at anything moving (just make an experiment, watch a fixed reality and then move suddenly your hand in front of you. Your eyes will follow that hand automatically). The same process that make us love violence in TVs, make us love sports. So they are fundamental to create the needed hypnotism of our mind, to watch and love TV.
        We are talking here of a surprising biological phenomena. As top predator bodies move faster and capture victim's bodies, top predator eye-systems, process visual information faster and hypnotize lesser eyes. So a robot will chase easily a man, and a TV-retina, easily hypnotizes a non-thinking man, as a light hypnotizes a mot, despite the fact that the mot will be easily chased in a light beam. We waste and kill in this manner our brains, hypnotized by a more perfect visual eye, which sucks our brain. That is the hidden biological reason why we love TV despite knowing they are stupid. We are the mots of the TV-light...
       - Finally sports allow today to test and improve machines, masking also that job with a humanistic touch. So Formula 1, car racing, bike racing become test-places for expensive new gadgets, electronic computers, and the relentless advancement towards top predator energy machines, increasingly intelligent, fearsome in their power and speed. Not so when they see them on TV driven by a human being... As we love wars-like-video games played by top gun planes on TV sets, we love machines moving...

       Those 4 elements make sports a fundamental tool of modern systems of human mental control, diverting our attention of the fundamental processes of destruction of History and the carbolife ecosystem... far more boring, than a good soccer match, or an NBA series.
       Men after being hypnotized by movies, sports and songs, forget the not-so-pleasant reality. They become lazy, passive watchers of 'televised revolutions' in which they do not participate. TVs act as Catharsis of desires we never make reality. So we become tamed, living through TVs, and we become coward, passive species that fear 'mental pain', complex thought, action, social fight. Men become lazy animals of the metal-Earth, of the Farm of metal. If they have sudden glimpses of reality, conditioned by the happiness of big brother Smiley, they soon try to forget reality, and switch to TV-thought, to sport perception.
        No wonder that sports have become now, in the age of Total Lobbyism, wen companies control even culture, so important, and the time people dedicate to watch and read and practice sports has increased constantly in the past decade. So happened in the 20s. In fact we can trace those sudden explosions of interest for sports to the 3 final ages of The industrial evolution - the ages of Total Lobbyism parallel to our 2000-30 decades:
      - The end of the age of railroads and steam machines witnessed the creation of soccer - the main World Sport.
       - The end of the Industrial evolution of bodies of metal, brought a sudden passion for Olympic games (the famous Berlin-36, showcase for German nazism) and soccer World cups (the age of the Italian bi-champion team to the glory of Mussolini).
      - Finally the present third age of the metal-mind era, witnesses an explosion of hours and pages dedicated to sports in TVs, newspapers and magazines controlled by company-mothers.


      Both of sports at the end of the railroad age

      
In fact soccer was born at the end of the cycle of Steam machines and railroads, when the overproduction of railroads freed workers who had some time to think and organize Trade Unions. That was a problem to solve by the British elite, and sports came in handy to distract the mass of miners and textile workers. Let us remember that...
       As every little town of England had his railroad to nowhere, most of them idle today, but needed for ari-stockrats to invent money in speculative stock-markets for free, it came the inevitable crash of railroad shares. The industry collapsed, and so they did the 3 related industries of iron, coal mines and locomotives. It was the decade of the 1850s, and workers entered in huge numbers the inferno of poverty and unemployment. Then they started to organize in Trade Unions, and asked for certain basic rights to the City, the government of the British Empire, and the rest of the World (what Wall Street is today).
      Sundays were free and work hours were reduced from a 7 days week, 18 hours a day, not because of 'sympathy' of Company-mothers to their 'Products=workers', but to cut costs and wage-expenses.
       Suddenly people had a free day to think, and many were not going to the Anglican churches of Go(l)d where priests of the kin of Malthus, would only insult them for trying to forget their misery drinking and making love to their women... Instead they were organizing... What to do? Alas! Soccer was invented. Workers were given in some case even a free lunch if they attended the matches. Soon the first English Soccer clubs were organized in the Industrial cities of Liverpool, Leeds and Manchester, which still are the 3 best teams of England, in this year 2001...
       Today owned of course by moguls of Mass-media, such as Rupert Murdoch master of violent images (TV-Fox), pornographic newspapers (the famous Sun 3rd page), and... sport channels on satellites...
       Workers did actually bite the hook and went in droves to see their soccer teams, and shouted their anger to the 'fictional armies on the field'.
      Mind the reader that soccer beyond its fictional reality is a beautiful game to watch. It has a magic number of players, representation of the basic scales of the Universe. 10 human players acting as lines of energy, of a perfect cycle of information, the ball. And one goal, short of a soft military target where to shoot. Thus visually we are in a representation of the Universal game, of herds of teens, socially moving towards a clear enemy goal - to shoot and trespass the enemy guarded home becomes a representation of the Universal struggle, and gives you a false sense of being together, evolving socially with your team and comrades...
      Of course is all fiction, but that is what matters. To create enough fiction so reality is left in the hands of company-mothers. Today is the same game at work...
       So brutalized coal and iron workers enjoyed observing that parable of Darwinian war and the Social Universe... And Trade Unions saw their people fleeing to the soccer fields...


      The 20s

      
But the railroad crisis passed, and workers were now engaged in wars, and new jobs. So the sport craziness quieted down as more important business, new wars, and new machines to build and work for substituted the idle hours of labor.
      Slowly though as the Industrial Evolution expanded to other countries, sports expanded with it, and soccer teams appeared worldwide, in those places were the British industrial evolution arrived first. Soon varieties for the wealthy appeared. The rich, selfish, individualistic, as they are, preferred the individual ones: Tennis, sailing, horse racing, athletics, and the handling of personal Bodies of metal, cars, planes... So the likes of Lindbergh became the heroes of this new Industrial cycle.
      There was not railroad racing because it was expensive to build up 'six parallel tracks' for the iron horse... but as the second evolution of machines diversified the bodies of machines, and cars appeared, a new kind of sport activity, the testing of speedy bodies of metal, cars and planes bred those sport heroes all over the world.
      So as that second cycle of the Evolution of machines came to an end, again economical crisis of overproduction, massive unemployment, war and a renewed interest for sport activities, invaded Europe and American. To diversify also the sporting interest, it came now the era of International competitions, the Olympic Games, the Soccer World championship, and in the Isolated I-Continent of America, the World series of baseball... among American teams (in the country of Go(l)d chosen it seemed than the others were not members of the World)". Individualists as they are, the perfect bio-economical men, the Americans will create two supreme idols, during those 20s, Jack Dempsey, the white boxer, at the beginning of the decade, which converted boxing in a mass sport; and the fascist, 'aviator', Mr. Lindbergh, the first sport-hero of a moving machine... who latter on worked for Hitler. Of course he did nothing more than staying inside a hole, while the Spirit of Saint Louis, the machine flied for him. Yet self-centered men do not see machines as separate entities, but part of themselves, and so their merits become our merits. Till robots tell us what they think - exactly the same.
       Such is the arrogance, and deluded fantasy of man, center of his perceived Universe, corner of nothingness in the immensity of Space-time.
      So sports were also good to increase our sense of what we call 'the Copernican paradox', the fictional concept that we men are the center of the Universe and everything moves around ourselves.
      Today the great heroes of mankind are men who run at 36o km/h, in their cars, when they can only go 36 in a track field...
       Even cheetahs easily make 100 km/h., whole planes make 1000.
      Obviously men are worthy because of their intelligence and ethic standing, not because of his meager muscles who in the Paleolithic only served to feed lions. Now in the neo-paleolithic the predominance of metal-minds, a visual language, main cause of that extinction of verbal thought and multiplication of images, makes the sportsman to become an idol.
       It is a regressing new age of visual minds, null verbal intelligence, and cult to bodies.
      So sportsmen go hand in hand as heroes with other visual childish man, the actor.
      Both became the distracting idols of the 20s, as they are again now in the 2000s.
      Valentino became a world hero because he did not talk but showed his androgynous form on the camera. The first fascist leader, Mussolini sent a squadron of some thousand "camisa nera" (black shirts), to honor the Italian Uomo... That passion Italians have for the visual surface of things, for the aesthetics, was perfect to instill on them a passion for films, sports, racing Ferraris, and... neo-fascist parades, symbols and uniforms.
       Mussolini made of soccer a national question and won 2 World cups buying out referees, massacring players on the field, and honoring the new Heroes of the new Rome. Not in vain sports had been fundamental for the Spartans, first fascist civilization of Europe, and for their imitators the bloody-thirsty Romans... whose symbols and examples fed the imagination of Germanic and Italian fascists... and British and American colonial empires... The passion of Germany for sports is well known. The Triumph of the will, the film of Lenni Riesenthal in Nuremberg followed was by his aesthetically astonishing takes of the perfect bodies of German athletes in the 36 Olympic games.
       Those war-sport activities fulfilled the physical racism of the quintessential iron-warrior race. Warrior cultures based in their cult to the God Iron are as Iron is, lineal, physical, strong, selected in millenary fields of war, with spades and running hordes. Germans were the masters of iron swords in Europe and in the XX C. would become the masters of European sports. Pity, genetics will show in the future, that the white race is merely a black race without melanin that went north. As they went north, their eye-mathematical activity grew, their verbal development plummeted, and their body became stockier and slower. So in physical aspect they became just slightly inferior to the despised, perfect physical bodies of black people, as Jesse James, the natural superior body-man, showed in Berlin defeating them...
      Just a snag in the constant bidding of fascism for war and parallel sporting activities. Now jump 80 years more. To the 2000s.


      The 2000s

      Again sports are massively promoted by big corporations, a perfect devise to 'distract' the mass of idle workers, thrown out of jobs by the chip and robotic radiation. Now the spectator does not even need to go to the arena. Joe six packs can consume TV-minds and become visually hypnotized. In this manner the system can avoid the use of human free time for any social organization with political, or charitable aim. It is also cheap to keep men boxed in front of TV-boxes, as we keep pigs boxed in rooms.
       The beginning of sports as an idle way of consuming time, among the poor, who otherwise could think and rebel against 'its objectual' exploitation, started in earnest in the Britain of the railroad crisis. Now it has reached World dimensions.
      Accordingly Mass-media companies pay fortunes for them. There is no credit limit for those people who hypnotize with their movements the TV-watcher. Millions of dollars go in salaries for those virtual celebrities that ensure the taming of the common man. Salaries in the world of the Metal-earth depend on your utility for the bio-economical system, and your uselessness for the Human Earth. So missionaries and educators have no salary or a surviving salary, while sport men win millions of $. The Sport craze has been able to break even the Racism long ago established by the first company-mothers of gunboats that made of black men products-slaves and cargoes for their gunboats. Now they are Tysons and Jordans. Might this have been the only positive consequence of the sport-craze for the Social evolution of mankind.
      Of course we are not criticizing the old motto, 'men sana in corpore sanum", the use of physical activities to develop a healthy body; but explaining the causes of the sport-show-business - a whole different matter. After all Joe six packs does not get much exercise in front of his TV, nor does his hypnotized mind.
      Have you seen the last marvel in advertising?: "Hey, what's up. Having a bud, watching the match." The summit of happiness in the modern world.
       So now as total lobism takes over democracies, as Neofascism arrives, the power of sports multiplies. If after the railroad machines diversified in multiple species of bodies of metal, today Metal-heads diversify in infinite species. And their brain-chips are able to handle multiple visual worlds (you can only see one). So TVs have many channels, and we need many software-images, many sports...
       Thus during the XX century the sport system of hypnotism has found infinite variations on the communicative game of soccer - men as lineal forms, a cyclical ball shared between the lineal forms, and a limit of behavior set by rules and fields:
      Racket-ball (Tennis), basket-ball, volley-ball, foot-ball (rugby), stick-ball (grass hockey, ice hockey, cricket, skate-hockey) Water-ball (waterpolo), hand-ball, horse-ball (Polo), etc. Not to mention all other varieties of sports including those who help the evolution of Bodies of metal (cars, bikes, planes, etc.) All of them are wildly promoted worldwide.
      In the most dense ecosystems of the bio-economical World, in the initial Industrial nations of the Anglo-Saxon culture, in nations founded by Company-mothers such as America, Australia, or South-Africa, sports are lavishly promoted by Companies and governments. They maintain the consumer mass busy, as Gymnasiums maintained Spartans, Romans, and Germans ready for war slaughters. Today sports, 'harmless' fictional war-activities are parallel and symbiotic to violent fiction in TVs and fictional love (pop music) in M-TVs. All of them keep the masses of degraded human minds, in hypnotic states of mental passivity, during enough hours to avoid any meaningful social activities of mental growth. Because in the Age of the Me[n]tal Mind, 'we are only free to be=come idiots...' as the punk song goes.


       A perfect way to keep our citizens hypnotized by Lobbyist leaders.

     
Of course all our Lobbyist politicians love sports. Mr. Bush starts his days not listening to heady advisors but lifting weights. So happens in EU. Indeed, let us take two examples from the Southern European neofascist new leadership, the Spain of Mr. Aznar, and the Italy of Mr. Berlusconi.
      Mr. Berlusconi became famous when he bought not only private TVs in Italy, but also the soccer Milan Team. Forga Milan, the war song of the team became Forga Italia, the party of Mr. Berlusconi. Now he is in power again, and he has promised to renew the leadership of the Milan Soccer team in the European Soccer championships. That is indeed, going to solve the problems of Italy... Wait though... It is not an easy task. To the north the German Bavarians, who once followed Mr. Hitler in droves have won this year with Bayern of Munchen. The capital of Nazism now also plays fictional TV-wars. In England they are also fighting back. Mr. Murdoch's Manchester beat the Germans in the final 3 years ago, with 2 goals in the last... 2 minutes... Those Germans... always loosing their wars in the last shot... Yet the biggest rival to Mr. Berlusconi hordes, will probably come from the South also... The old conquistadors of Spain... a race of non-technological warriors have always had a lot to say on the leg to leg fields of modern war. There the other new Southern leader of neofascism, with a bigot 'a la Hitler', Mr. Aznar, is helping his "Real Madrid". The town-council has forgiven a 35.000 million pesetas debt to the team re-qualifying its land holdings to allow real state speculation... and the building of a new glorious Real Madrid team in Europe. You might know Real Madrid reached his first age of glory in the height of Franco power, when it won 7 European world championships. Since Aznar is in power it has won again 2 championships doubling the number of cups Milan the second top team in Europe has.
       It is going to be an interesting fictional fight for next year, as the World crashes around us. Yet Spaniards and Italians will not be worried about cancerous electromagnetic radiations courtesy of the dying ozone layer, and the growing emissions of mobile metal-ears of future robotic species, or the lost of jobs to the III Industrial evolution. No. They will have a bigger TV-eyes, and will be looking to the incoming confrontation. Real Madrid last year marked a new high, paying 10.000 million pesetas for Mr. Figo a Barcelona player. This one it offered 14.000 million pesetas for the best world central player, French Champion Zinedine Zidane. Its great advantage is that despite their leadership Spaniards are still quite open to immigration and so they include easily Latin-American players, or Africans without making a fuss. So 'inferior races' which are rather superior at least in body performances feel at ease there... Berlusconi will have to move fast. So far the best trainer in Europe. Mr. Hector Cuper, a record 3-in-a-row European final contender will be trainer of the Milan... Inter, the rival of Mr. Berlusconi's team. It seems the "Cavalieri" is loosing the winning horses... But the show will be served one way or another.
      In more serious fields, our two contenders, Mr. Aznar, and Mr. Silvio - in fact close friends - also play hard to steal photo opportunities, with the master-of-us-all. When Mr. Bush came to Europe to sell his extinctive policies of star war shields that will put atomic bombs under computer-satellite control, and 'healthy emissions' of carboxydes everywhere else, they jump immediately on his wagon. So far Mr. Aznar won the first round, getting Mr. Bush to visit Spain first before going to Brussels to sell the star war system. Then Berlusconi fast enough counter-reacted. He readily accepted the star war system as Aznar has done, and then on top of that he gave Bush one for free: he has rejected two days after naming Mr. Fini leader of the fascist Italian party, his vice-president, the Kyoto agreements that should avoid the destruction of our atmosphere.
       Will we assist to the 2014 Milan Vs Real Madrid World finals with gas masks, as star war systems make a soon-to-happen North Pole ozone hole, in the Yakutian wars? Don't worry, in that case the match will be televised, and the field covered up with plastic domes. Mr. Tony Blair in his millennium celebration showed the way to our future 'pan et circensis'. Indeed, men sana in corpore sanum, Amen.
