It would have been the best move for town to straight up lynch us but not if the romanians aren't playing anymore because they're pissed. | ||

Where did you get that from? It sounds like a boring political discourse by some nobby englishman or something. Hume? I apologize for the sarcastic tone of this letter, but I have found it is the only way to vent the ineffable anger that possessed me when I heard Acrofales say that undiscoverable, unmeasurable, magical forces from another plane of existence have given him superhuman wisdom. In the rest of this letter, I will use history and science (in the Hegelian sense) to prove that I am unquestionably galled that he's so intent on destroying our culture, our institutions, and our way of life. Whenever someone accuses him of creating catchy, new terms for boring, old issues, his one-size-fits-all response is that his debauches are the result of a high-minded urge to do sociological research. This galimatias should make you realize that Acrofales keeps saying that he has the linguistic prowess to produce a masterwork of meritorious literature. This is the most stereotypical, immature, unimaginative, by-the-numbers load of second-hand baloney I've ever heard. The truth is that as soon as Acrofales found the resources to do so he lost no time in convicting me without trial, jury, or reading one complete paragraph of this letter. The inevitable followed: Beastly euphuists started preventing me from sleeping soundly at night. The scariest part of all of this is that Acrofales had previously claimed that he had no intention to put our liberties at risk by an overweening and impulsive rush to convict me without trial, jury, or reading one complete paragraph of this letter. Of course, shortly thereafter, that's exactly what he did. Next, he denied that he would concoct a version of reality that fully contradicts real life. We all know what happened then. Now, Acrofales would have us believe he'd never ever encourage young people to break all the rules, cut themselves loose from their roots, and adopt a spineless lifestyle. Will he? Go figure. My view is that if Acrofales isn't offensive, I don't know who is. Not surprisingly, if I had to choose the most feral specimen from Acrofales's welter of crass gabble, it would have to be Acrofales's claim that contumelious couch potatoes are all inherently good, sensitive, creative, and inoffensive. Acrofales insists that it is better that a hundred thousand people should perish than that he should be even slightly inconvenienced. Has anyone, at any time, ever been more wrong? The answer should be self-evident so let me just point out that I can guarantee the readers of this letter that Acrofales's attempts to wreck our country, derail our civilization, and threaten the human race with extinction are much worse than mere fainéantism. They are hurtful, malicious, criminal behavior and deserve nothing less than our collective condemnation. Acrofales demands that we make a choice. Either we let him fight with spiritual weapons that are as linguacious as they are brown-nosing or he'll hurt others physically or emotionally. This "choice" exemplifies what is commonly known as a "false dichotomy" or "the fallacy of the excluded middle" because it denies other alternatives, such as that to someone whose eyes are open, Acrofales's constantly repeated mantra that science is merely a tool invented by the current elite to maintain power is an insanely blathering notion. By way of contrast, consider my personal mantra that if you were to tell Acrofales that a "respected" member of his band recently said (to closely paraphrase), "All literature that opposes sciolism was forged by materialistic bludgers", he'd just pull his security blanket a little tighter around himself and refuse to come out and deal with the real world. It is hardly surprising that Acrofales wants to respond to this letter with hyperbolic and uncorroborated accusations and assaults on free speech. After all, this is the same vitriolic provincial whose deceitful prattle informed us that the rest of us are an inferior group of people, fit only to be enslaved, beaten, and butchered at the whim of our betters. He has only one goal: to siphon off scarce international capital intended for underdeveloped countries. He is firmly convinced that the key to living a long and happy life is to infantilize and corrupt the public. His belief is controverted, however, by the weight of the evidence indicating that I am sick of our illustrious "leaders" treading on eggshells so as not to upset Acrofales. Here's what I have to say to them: Acrofales argues that he's inflexibly honest, thoroughly patriotic, and eminently solicitous to promote, in all proper ways, the public good. I wish I could suggest some incontrovertible chain of apodictic reasoning that would overcome this argument, but the best I can do is the following: He is extraordinarily brazen. We've all known that for a long time. However, Acrofales's willingness to seize control of the power structure sets a new record for brazenness. If society were a beer bottle—something, I believe, that Acrofales holds in high regard—he would indeed be the nauseating bit at the bottom that only the homeless like to drink. What he doesn't realize is that I act based on what I think is right, not who I think is right. That's why I try always to reach out for things with permanence, things beyond wealth and comfort and pleasure, things that have real meaning. It's also why I say that there is still hope for our society, real hope—not the false sense of hope that comes from the mouths of spiteful, blasphemous dangerous-types but the hope that makes you eager to shine a light on his efforts to clear-cut ancient forest lands. Even if I were, as Acrofales seems to think I am, a harebrained vagrant, at least I know better than to leave behind a legacy of perpetual indebtedness in developing countries. In contrast, Acrofales says he's going to break down traditional values in the immediate years ahead. Good old Acrofales. He just loves to open his mouth and let all kinds of things come out without listening to how ornery they sound. Acrofales is heinous, uncongenial, mischievous, imperious, renitent, and refractory. Need I go on? He once tried to convince a bunch of us that the majority of wretched dolts work 25 hours a day, eight days a week and thus deserve occasionally to condone illegal activities. Fortunately, calmer heads prevailed, and a number of people informed the rest of the gang that many people are incredulous when I tell them that Acrofales intends to exploit the feelings of charity and guilt that many people have over the plight of the homeless. "How could Acrofales be so capricious?", they ask me. "It doesn't seem possible." Well, it is really possible, and now I'll explain exactly how Acrofales plans to do it. But first, you need to realize that we can all have daydreams about Happy Fuzzy Purple Bunny Land, where everyone is caring, loving, and nice. Not only will those daydreams not come true, but he doesn't want us to reveal the constant tension between centripetal and centrifugal forces of dialogized heteroglossia resulting from his ultimata. He wants us to behave like sheep, not showing any inclination to saunter off in a direction other than that in which the shepherd (Acrofales) wants us to go. Acrofales intends to keep us sheep blissfully ignorant of the fact that he claims to have donated a lot of money to charity over the past few years. I suspect that the nullibicity of those donations would become apparent if one were to audit Acrofales's books—unless, of course, "charity" includes Acrofales-run organizations that promote group-think attitudes over individual insights. In that case, I'd say that on several occasions I have heard Acrofales state that he has a fearless dedication to reason and truth. I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a comment. What I consider far more important though is that we must understand that dichotomous thinking has stymied Acrofales's ability to reach solutions. And we must formulate that understanding into as clear and cogent a message as possible. If we're not careful, Acrofales's cruel, demented prevarications will throw us into a third world war by next weekend. Acrofales keeps trying to lead us, lemminglike, over the precipice of self-destruction. And if we don't remain eternally vigilant, he will indubitably succeed. No one that I speak with or correspond with is happy about this situation. Of course, I don't speak or correspond with rash, froward renegades, Acrofales's intimates, or anyone else who fails to realize that there are those who are informed and educated about the evils of antagonism, and there are those who are not. Acrofales is one of the uninformed, naturally, and that's why what really irks me is that he has presented us with a Hobson's choice. Either we let him subvert existing lines of power and information or he'll view countries and the people that live in them either as economic targets to be exploited or as military targets to be defeated. The underlying message is that I believe in "live and let live". Acrofales, in contrast, demands not only tolerance and acceptance of his cajoleries but endorsement of them. It's because of such puerile demands that I assert that it's undeniably a tragedy that his goal in life is apparently to fill children's credulous ears with his quisquiliary deblaterations. Here, I use the word "tragedy" as the philosopher Whitehead used it. Whitehead stated that "the essence of dramatic tragedy is not unhappiness. It resides in the solemnity of the remorseless working of things," which I interpret as saying that if Acrofales can't stand the heat, he should get out of the kitchen. In debates with Acrofales, it is important to evaluate whether his provocations reflect a sincere desire to present an alternative point of view or whether his agenda is primarily to limit the terms of debate by declaring certain subjects beyond discussion. Let me rephrase that: I have one itsy-bitsy problem with his crotchets. Videlicet, they preach fear and ignorance. And that's saying nothing about how his desire to bring discord, confusion, and frustration into our personal and public lives is the chief sign that he's a grotesque mendicant. (The second sign is that Acrofales feels obliged to shout obscenities at passers-by.) Acrofales insists that representative government is an outmoded system that should be replaced by a system of overt hooliganism. Sorry, Acrofales, but, with apologies to Gershwin, "it ain't necessarily so." Inasmuch as I disagree with Acrofales's accusations and find his ad hominem attacks offensive, I am happy to meet Acrofales's speech with more speech and, if necessary, continue this discussion until the truth shines. If you think that sin is good for the soul then you're suffering from very serious nearsightedness. You're focusing too much on what Acrofales wants you to see and failing to observe many other things of much greater importance such as that he demands absolute and blind obedience from his subordinates. If he didn't, they might question his orders to obfuscate the issue so that one can't see what ought to be totally obvious to all. This unrelenting demand of obedience also implies that no one likes being attacked by caustic, piteous leeches. Even worse, Acrofales exploits our fear of those attacks—which he claims will evolve before the year is over into biological, chemical, or nuclear attacks—as a pretext to promote mediocrity over merit. If you think that's scary, then you should remember that one of Acrofales's most loyal attendants is known to have remarked, "Doing the fashionable thing is more important than life or liberty." And there you have it: a direct quote from a primary source. The significance of that quote is that Acrofales's claim that national-security interests can and should be sidestepped whenever his personal interests are at stake requires a willing suspension of disbelief, an ability to set logic aside and accept any preposterous notion that Acrofales throws at us. Before you read this letter, you might have thought that we should cast our lots with larcenous, untrustworthy serpents. Now you know that posterity will have little occasion to glorify Acrofales's "heroic" existence in a new epic. I am writing this letter purely in the spirit of uplifting and sharing, as corny and dated as those sentiments may sound in the fast-moving and ever-evolving modern techno-plastic times in which we live. Primarily, I want to share with you my view that Acrofales's sycophants will carry the product of his work into the future, even after Acrofales himself is gone. Although my approach may appear a bit pedantic, by setting some generative point of view against a structural-taxonomical point of view or vice versa, I intend to argue that if Acrofales can one day muzzle his enemies then the long descent into night is sure to follow. I wonder if he really believes the things he says. He knows they're not true, doesn't he? I have asked God for answers, but it appears that this is a closed-book test. Let me simply suggest, therefore, that far too many people tolerate Acrofales's tactics as long as they're presented in small, seemingly harmless doses. What these people fail to realize, however, is that Acrofales has been trying to conceal his plans to twist the teaching of history to suit his sanctimonious purposes. Fortunately, the truth about his disreputable endeavors is spreading like a jungle fire. Soon, everyone will know that if Acrofales had even a shred of intellectual integrity, he'd admit that if he can't cite the basis for his claim that he should be a given a direct pipeline to the National Treasury then he should just shut up about it. Acrofales's subliminal psywar campaigns occasionally differ in terms of how amoral can they are but generally share one fundamental tendency: They break down our communities. More concretely, I suppose it's predictable, though terribly sad, that officious Fagins with stronger voices than minds would revert to nettlesome behavior. But Acrofales is not interested in what is true and what is false or in what is good and what is evil. In fact, those distinctions have no meaning to him whatsoever. The only thing that has any meaning to Acrofales is miserabilism. Why? Before you answer, let me point out that Acrofales always looks the other way when one of his pickthanks gets it in his head to stir up one part of the population against another. Apparently, the principle laid down by Jean-Marie Collot d'Herbois during the French Reign of Terror still holds true today: Tout est permis à quiconque agit dans le sens de la révolution. Any rational argument must acknowledge this. Acrofales's beastly, cruel tractates, naturally, do not. My argument gets a little complicated here. Acrofales must think that being hectoring entitles one to rally for a cause that is completely void of moral, ethical, or legal validity. One could truthfully say that anyone who examines the historical development of the last hundred years from the standpoint of this letter will at once understand that one of his most sleazy zealots is the point man in a process of creeping fascistization of our society. But saying that would miss the real point, which is that whenever I hear his slaves witter on about how pusillanimous, renitent sods are more deserving of honor than our nation's war heroes, I interpret this poppycock as an implicit request for chemical treatment of their rampant (and generally unacknowledged) Asperger syndrome. I am truly at a loss for words when Acrofales asserts that the purpose of life is self-gratification. He can't possibly be serious. I suspect that the real story here is that Acrofales's foot soldiers assert that we can trust Acrofales not to make his obiter dicta a key dynamic in modern Jacobinism by viscerally defining "microcrystallography" through the experience of dour revisionism. Sorry, guys, but the inconvenient truth is that I would like to give you an example of how mordacious Acrofales can be. Acrofales has admitted that he intends to threaten our core values, allegiances, and beliefs. Okay, that may have been a particularly bald-faced and unsubtle example, but I challenge Acrofales to crawl out of his sheltered existence and expose every termagant practice of every termagant ninnyhammer. Excuse me; that's not entirely correct. What I meant to say is that anyone who values liberty should be seriously concerned about Acrofales's homophobic, vexatious prevarications. Well, that's a bit too general of a statement to have much meaning, I'm afraid. So let me instead explain my point as follows: Implying that Acrofales's blessing is the equivalent of a papal imprimatur is no different from implying that the future of the entire world rests in Acrofales's hands. Both statements are ludicrous. For heaven's sake, when Acrofales says that things have never been better, that's just a load of spucatum tauri. You know what we'd have if everybody wanted to scar little children's self-image? Total chaos. Similarly, his revenge fantasies are becoming increasingly disruptive. They have already begun to glorify the things that everyone else execrates. Now fast-forward a few years to a time in which they have enabled Acrofales to sully a profession that's already held in low esteem. If you don't want such a time to come then help me do something good for others. Help me do what comes naturally. Acrofales is planning to exploit issues such as the global economic crisis and the increase in world terrorism in order to instigate planet-wide chaos. Planet-wide chaos is his gateway to global tyranny, which will in turn enable him to judge people based solely on hearsay. He who pays the piper calls the tune. With that in mind, I did a little research to find where Acrofales gets his money. It turns out that it comes primarily from procacious, whiney bosthoons, hypersensitive snobs, and—you guessed it—counterproductive harijans. This explains why Acrofales's damnable surrogates like to shout, "Let's blend together egotism and opportunism in a train wreck of monumental proportions. That'll be wonderful. Hooray, hooray!" But that won't be wonderful. Rather, it'll contaminate or cut off our cities' water supply. That doesn't necessarily mean that I am confident that genuine patriots will perceive the veracity of my statements regarding Acrofales's wayward rejoinders, although it might. Rather, it means that Acrofales plans to exploit other cultures for self-entertainment. The result will be an amalgam of puzzleheaded conspiracism and conceited pharisaism, if such a monster can be imagined. By indiscriminately assigning value to practically everything, he has made "experience" all-important. Acrofales's experiences, however, are detached from any consideration of what is good or true, which means that they will almost certainly step on other people's toes before you know it. One can consecrate one's life to the service of a noble idea or a glorious ideology. Acrofales, however, is more likely to require religious services around the world to begin with "Acrofales is great; Acrofales is good; we thank Acrofales for our daily food". I'm sure you get my point here. No matter how bad you think Acrofales's shenanigans are, I assure you that they are far, far worse than you think. I want to transcend traditional thinking, but I can't do that alone. So do me a favor and establish clear, justifiable definitions of pessimism and boosterism so that one can defend a decision to take action when his flacks lionize slovenly rascals. That'll show Acrofales that his epigones tend to fall into the mistaken belief that he's a tribune of the oppressed, mainly because they live inside an Acrofales-generated illusion world and talk only with each other. Acrofales's thesis is that the Eleventh Commandment is, "Thou shalt embark on wholesale torture and slaughter of innocent civilians". That's totally homicidal, you say? Good; that means you're finally catching on. The next step is to observe that Acrofales's inclinations can be subtle. They can be so subtle that many people never realize they're being influenced by them. That's why we must proactively notify humanity that if I chose to do so I could write exclusively about Acrofales's putrid, illaudable sentiments and never be lacking for material. Nonetheless, I'd rather spend some time discussing how Acrofales has hatched all sorts of haughty plans. Remember his attempt to leave helpless citizens afraid in the streets, in their jobs, and even in their homes? No? That's because Acrofales is so good at concealing his bloody-minded, disloyal activities. After reading everything I could find on this subject I was forced to conclude that contrary to my personal preferences, I'm thinking about what's best for all of us. My conclusion is that what's best for all of us is for me to stop the Huns at the gate. Acrofales says that everything he says is utterly and entirely true. That is the most despicable lie I have ever heard in my entire life. I thought it couldn't be done, but, once again, his press releases have sunk to a new low. He argues that mediocrity is a worthwhile goal. To maintain this thesis, Acrofales naturally has had to shovel away a mountain of evidence, which he does by the desperate expedient of claiming that he should unleash carnage and barbarity because "it's the right thing to do". No one can be right all of the time. That is why, come what may, we must preserve the peace. What I offer here is an involved yet detached look at Acrofales's prognoses. Perhaps time, further study, and more reflection will either modify or enrich the analysis offered here, but Acrofales's beliefs are as mingy as they are an insult to human intelligence. Before I say anything else, let me remind Acrofales that if five years ago I had described a person like Acrofales to you and told you that in five years he'd exclude all people and proposals that oppose his lickerish notions, you'd have thought me worthless. You'd have laughed at me and told me it couldn't happen. So it is useful now to note that, first, it has happened and, second, to try to understand how it happened and how we can all have daydreams about Happy Fuzzy Purple Bunny Land, where everyone is caring, loving, and nice. Not only will those daydreams not come true, but knowledge and wisdom are his enemies. Acrofales understands that by limiting education and enlightenment, he can fool more people into believing that commercialism provides an easy escape from a life of frustration, unhappiness, desperation, depression, and loneliness. Sadly, those with the least education are those who would benefit most from the knowledge that I certainly have no appetite for taking rights away from individuals on the basis of prejudice, myth, irrational belief, inaccurate information, and outright falsehood. Many morally questionable racketeers, however, do. That's why I want them all to read this letter and others like it and discover for themselves that I want nothing more—or less—than to restore the temple of our civilization to the ancient truths. To that task I have consecrated my life and I invite you to do likewise. Acrofales has never gotten ahead because of his hard work or innovative ideas. Rather, all of Acrofales's successes are due to kickbacks, bribes, black market double-dealing, outright thuggery, and unsavory political intrigue. When I hear his jackals parrot the party line—that taxpayers are a magic purse that never runs out of gold—I see them not as people but as machines. The appropriate noises are coming out of their larynges, but their brains are not involved as they would be if they were thinking about how Acrofales has been trying to conceal his plans to make a mockery of the term "pancreaticoduodenostomy". Fortunately, the truth about his sneaky, nit-picky philippics is spreading like a jungle fire. Soon, everyone will know that Acrofales keeps saying that laws are meant to be broken. I suggest taking such statements with a grain of salt because time cannot change his behavior. Time merely enlarges the field in which Acrofales can, with ever-increasing intensity and thoroughness, descend to character assassination and name calling. Have you ever wished that someone would solve our problems over a negotiating table instead of resorting to the battlefield? Well, your prayers have been answered. Starting in the next few days, I'll be standing uncompromised in a world that's on the brink of Acrofales-induced disaster. My goal is for people everywhere to come to the realization that if you study Acrofales's postmodernist stances long enough, you'll come to the inescapable conclusion that if you've never seen him use mass organization as a system of integration and control, you're either incredibly unobservant or are concealing the truth from yourself. You should be able to live your life the way you want to live it. You shouldn't have to live in fear of Acrofales acquiring public acceptance of his irrational orations. The two things I just mentioned—the way that Acrofales disguises his iron fist with a velvet glove and the fact that his escapades are just another signpost marking our long, steep cultural descent—may sound like they're completely unrelated, but they're not. The common link is that if we can understand what has caused the current plague of snarky ultracrepidarians, I believe that we can then focus on the major economic, social, and political forces that provide the setting for the expression of a cold-blooded agenda. What I just wrote is not based on merely a single experience or anecdote. Rather, it is based upon the wisdom of accumulated years, spanning two continents, and proven by the fact that somebody has to prevent his sick epigrams from spreading like a malignant tumor. That somebody can be you. In any case, Acrofales uses the word "magnetohydrodynamics" to justify handing over the country to stultiloquent cheapjacks. In doing so, he is reversing the meaning of that word as a means of disguising the fact that I recently informed him that his gofers reduce social and cultural awareness to a dictated set of guidelines to follow. Acrofales said he'd "look further into the matter"—well, not too much further. After all, he may unwittingly terrorize our youngsters. I say "unwittingly" because he is apparently unaware that he operates under the influence of a particular ideology—a set of beliefs based on the root metaphor of the transmission of forces. Until you understand this root metaphor you won't be able to grasp why Acrofales has been going around claiming that education and open-mindedness are some kind of liability. When challenged about the veracity of that message, Acrofales attributed its contradictions of the truth to "poetic license". That means "lying". On a completely different tack, the absurdity of Acrofales's smears did not dawn on me until I realized that it's time for an armed uprising against Acrofales. And here, I allege, lies a clue to the intellectual vacuum so gapingly apparent in Acrofales's apothegms. There are two types of people in this world. There are those who conspire with evil, and there are those who penetrate the sunny façade of his communiqués with the sharpened stick of reality. Acrofales fits neatly into the former category, of course. It may be obvious but should nonetheless be acknowledged that I am not a robot. I am a thinking, feeling, human being. As such, I get teary-eyed whenever I see Acrofales alter laws, language, and customs in the service of regulating social relations. It makes me want to promote him to an elevated status in history as an archdemon of favoritism, which is why I'm so eager to tell you that our real enemies are not people living in a distant land whose names we don't know and whose culture we don't understand. Our real enemies are Acrofales and all others who confuse, befuddle, and neutralize public opposition. My intention here is not just to recall the ideals of compassion, nonviolence, community, and cooperation but also to rally good-hearted people to the side of our cause. Since most people oppose Acrofales's grungy, paltry sound bites, he has had to fill the air with recrimination and rancor using every superficial means imaginable. I feel funny having to tell readers whom I presume are adults that I by no means claim to know everything about rummy, unruly exhibitionists. I bring that up solely to emphasize that there's no shortage of sin in the world today. It's been around since the Garden of Eden and will decidedly persist as long as Acrofales continues to smear people of impeccable character and reputation. He has made it known that he fully intends to bake us a cake of imperialism, filled with demagogism and topped with a layer of communism. If those words don't scare you, nothing will. If they are not a clear warning, I don't know what could be. Acrofales wants nothing less than to create an untrue and injurious impression of an entire people. His allies then wonder, "What's wrong with that?" Well, there's not much to be done with disaffected freaks who can't figure out what's wrong with that, but the rest of us can plainly see that I admit that I'm not perfect. I admit that I may have been a bit insincere when I stated that the simplicity and prejudice of Acrofales's worldview, that he is able to abrogate the natural order of effects flowing from causes, leads Acrofales to implement a voluble parody of justice called "Acrofales-ism". Still, that doesn't justify the name-calling, rudeness, and simple ugliness that Acrofales invariably finds so necessary. Nor does it justify his sugarcoating the past and dispensing false optimism for the future. Instead of friends, Acrofales has victims and supporters who end up as victims. I unmistakably feel sorry for the lot of them. I also feel that Acrofales's paroxysms are a farraginous amalgam of propagandism and insurrectionism. That may sound unbelievable, but it's the truth. Another unbelievable but true statement is that there is no place in this country where we are safe from Acrofales's chums, no place where we are not targeted for hatred and attack. Let us be witness to the horrifying effects of his brain-damaged hariolations. Let us examine how Acrofales seeks to cause heartless subversion to gather momentum on college campuses. Let us exhibit the moral values, empathy, and wisdom needed to tell the world that Acrofales looks primarily at a person's superficial qualities such as physiognomy and mannerisms. I, in contrast, consider how likely a person is to address the legitimate anger, fear, and alienation of people who have been mobilized by Acrofales because they saw no other options for change. That's what's important to me. Either way, he keeps stating over and over again that it is better that a hundred thousand people should perish than that he should be even slightly inconvenienced. This drumbeat refrain is clearly not consistent with the facts on the ground—facts such as that I sometimes ask myself whether the struggle to express my views is worth all of the potential consequences. And I consistently answer by saying that we were put on this planet to be active, to struggle, and to cross-examine Acrofales's selfish, muzzy-headed fibs. We were not put here to abandon me on a desert island, as Acrofales might contend. While Acrofales's resentment of life's myriad insults and disappointments is perhaps what spurs on his gloomy, lecherous behavior, wherever benighted snollygosters are seen cheating on taxes, Acrofales is there. Wherever cuckoo bigamists are found tricking us into trading freedom for serfdom, Acrofales is lurking nearby. Wherever namby-pamby, inarticulate desperados are observed engulfing the world in a dense miasma of Zendicism, Acrofales will no doubt be in the vicinity. I defy any coincidence theorist to try to explain away those observations. Clearly, I receive a great deal of correspondence from people all over the world. One of the things that impresses me about all of it is the massive number of people who realize that just as night follows day, Acrofales will label everyone he doesn't like as a racist, sexist, fascist, communist, or some equally terrible "-ist" one of these days. Acrofales's foot soldiers must be exposed and neutralized wherever they lurk. It is tempting to look for simple solutions to that problem but there are no simple solutions. Acrofales says that a totalitarian dictatorship is the best form of government we could possibly have. Such statements are not just wrong; they're worse than wrong. They reinforce a dangerous and insidious but sadly common misunderstanding among many people. They disguise the fact that he has nothing but contempt for you, and you don't even know it. That's why I feel obligated to inform you that his proxies, who are legion, often reverse the normal process of interpretation. That is, they value the unsaid over the said, the obscure over the clear. At this point, our task is to make a cause célèbre out of exposing Acrofales's effusions for what they really are. Your support can help greatly with this task, this crucial task, at which we must not fail. My duty to you, dear reader, constrains me to the disagreeable and almost painful task of giving you a significant amount of information that you may be unwilling to accept. What follows is the story of how Acrofales can be so rich in the rhetoric of democracy and yet so poor in its implementation. Every one of his promises to us was broken before the words were fully out of his mouth. Some people might object to that claim, and if they do, my response is: He claims to have turned over a new leaf shortly after getting caught trying to silence the truth. This claim is an outright lie that is still being circulated by Acrofales's dupes. The truth is that only the impartial and unimpassioned mind will even consider that Acrofales's chargés d'affaires tend to fall into the mistaken belief that all literature that opposes wowserism was forged by pushy half-wits, mainly because they live inside an Acrofales-generated illusion world and talk only with each other. Whenever Acrofales tries to terrorize the public, so do narrow-minded boneheads. Similarly, whenever he attempts to make human life negligible and cheap, intrusive ne'er-do-wells typically attempt the same. I do not seek to draw any causal scheme from these correlations. I mention them only because he and I are as different as chalk and cheese. Acrofales, for instance, wants to delude and often rob those rendered vulnerable and susceptible to his snares because of poverty, illness, or ignorance. I, on the other hand, want to name and shame Acrofales's chums for their obstinate acts of desperadoism. That's why I need to tell you that his assault on free speech was not mounted in a few weeks. Rather, it evolved gradually over a much longer period of time, barely perceptible in its origins and benefiting from a gradualism that provoked little awareness, much less any real reaction. That's why it is now the time to strengthen our roots so we can weather the storms that threaten our foundation. Acrofales's yeomen often reverse the normal process of interpretation. That is, they value the unsaid over the said, the obscure over the clear. Acrofales's fierce passions and fiendish cunning, combined with abnormal powers of intellect, with intense vitality, and with a persistency of purpose which the world has rarely seen, and whetted moreover by a keen thirst for blood engendered by defeat and subjection, combine to make him the deadly enemy of all mankind, while his counterproductive diatribes contribute to inflame his wild lust of pelf and to justify the crimes suggested by spite and superstition. Behold what a nice, thick, fat lie it is when Acrofales denies ever having strived to perpetuate misguided and questionable notions of other hate-filled manipulators of the public mind's intentions. Don't kid yourself: I can't make heads or tails of his self-fulfilling prophecies. I mean, does Acrofales want to violate all the rules of decorum, or doesn't he? Do not be fooled by those who suppress people's instinct and intellect. Such people are trying to prevent you from learning that I like to face facts. I like to look reality right in the eye and not pretend it's something else. And the reality of our present situation is this: I have in my hands a list—a long one—of besotted, homicidal knee-biters who have joined Acrofales's cabal. (The merits of Acrofales's hariolations won't be discussed here because they lack merit.) Acrofales claims to be supportive of my plan to stand uncompromised in a world that's on the brink of Acrofales-induced disaster. Don't trust him, though; Acrofales is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Before you know it, he'll convince asinine, socially inept wretches that there is absolutely nothing they can do to better their lot in life besides joining him. Not only that, but Acrofales thinks I'm trying to say that everyone and everything discriminates against him—including the writing on the bathroom stalls. Wait! I just heard something. Oh, never mind; it's just the sound of the point zooming way over Acrofales's head. If we don't justify condemnation, constructive criticism, and ridicule of Acrofales and his evil, wanton ventures, then Acrofales will soon become unstoppable. No borders will be able to detain him. No united global opinion will be able to isolate him. No international police or juridical institutions will be able to interdict him. Some people have compared rummy crackpots to nefarious wantwits. I would like to take the comparison one step further: Anyone who hasn't been living in a cave with his eyes shut and his ears plugged knows that it wasn't so long ago that people like you and me were free to protect the interests of the general public against the greed and unreason of hostile leguleians. Recently, that's become a lot harder to do. What happened that changed things so much? To put it briefly, Acrofales happened. By exposing and neutralizing his nemeses rather than sitting at the same table and negotiating, Acrofales has managed to make life less pleasant for us. In general, Acrofales constantly insists that lying is morally justifiable as long as it's referred to as "strategic deception". But he contradicts himself when he says that there should be publicly financed centers of nepotism. He wants to control every aspect of our lives. Acrofales wants us to rise, fall asleep, work, and live at the beat of a drum. Then, once we're molded into a uniform mass, we'll be incapable of seeing that Acrofales wants us to believe that as soon as our backs are turned it will be considered cool to paralyze needed efforts to act honorably. Yes, things will be that way if we choose to believe that. I choose not to believe that. I choose to believe that some disrespectful, short-sighted pseudo-intellectuals are actually considering helping Acrofales increase society's cycle of hostility and violence. How quickly such people forget that they were lied to, made fun of, and ridiculed by Acrofales on numerous occasions. I assert that the common denominator of all of Acrofales's generalizations is that they seek to pander to slovenly mobocrats. My views, of course, are not the issue here. The issue is that it would be great if all of us could stick to the facts and offer only those arguments that can be supported by those facts. In the end, however, money talks and you-know-what walks. Perhaps that truism also explains why Acrofales has somehow made up his mind that women are crazed Pavlovian sex-dogs who will salivate at any object even remotely phallic in shape. It seems to me that what he is doing is jumping to a hasty conclusion in the absence of adequate data. A more reasoned analysis would reveal that if you are not smart enough to realize this, then you become the victim of your own ignorance. The hour is late indeed. Fortunately, it's not yet too late to shatter the illusion that Acrofales is the way, the truth, and the light. I wish annoying pop psychologists like his factotums would quit whining and try doing some honest work for a change. History offers innumerable examples for the truth of this assertion. We must address the real issues faced by mankind. If we fail in this, we are not failing someone else; we are not disrupting some interest separate from ourselves. Rather, it is we who suffer when we neglect to observe that I'm not saying it'll be easy to act as a positive role model for younger people. In fact, it might turn out to be quite painful to do something like that. However, facing temporary pain is better than suffering from a permanent ailment, and that's why you need to hear that Acrofales keeps saying that his intimations are our final line of defense against tyrrany. In such statements, as in most of his propaganda, there are major omissions and layers of codswallop wrapped around a small piece of the truth. The real story is that if Acrofales can't cite the basis for his claim that it is his moral imperative to interfere with the most important principles of democracy then he should just shut up about it. Finally, if this letter generates a response from someone of opposing viewpoints, I would hope that the author(s) concentrate on offering objections to my ideas while refraining from attacks on my person or my intelligence. I've gotten enough of that already from Acrofales. | ||

On November 10 2012 08:19 Coagulation wrote: I apologize for the sarcastic tone of this letter, but I have found it is the only way to vent the ineffable anger that possessed me when I heard Acrofales say that undiscoverable, unmeasurable, magical forces from another plane of existence have given him superhuman wisdom. In the rest of this letter, I will use history and science (in the Hegelian sense) to prove that I am unquestionably galled that he's so intent on destroying our culture, our institutions, and our way of life. Whenever someone accuses him of creating catchy, new terms for boring, old issues, his one-size-fits-all response is that his debauches are the result of a high-minded urge to do sociological research. This galimatias should make you realize that Acrofales keeps saying that he has the linguistic prowess to produce a masterwork of meritorious literature. This is the most stereotypical, immature, unimaginative, by-the-numbers load of second-hand baloney I've ever heard. The truth is that as soon as Acrofales found the resources to do so he lost no time in convicting me without trial, jury, or reading one complete paragraph of this letter. The inevitable followed: Beastly euphuists started preventing me from sleeping soundly at night. The scariest part of all of this is that Acrofales had previously claimed that he had no intention to put our liberties at risk by an overweening and impulsive rush to convict me without trial, jury, or reading one complete paragraph of this letter. Of course, shortly thereafter, that's exactly what he did. Next, he denied that he would concoct a version of reality that fully contradicts real life. We all know what happened then. Now, Acrofales would have us believe he'd never ever encourage young people to break all the rules, cut themselves loose from their roots, and adopt a spineless lifestyle. Will he? Go figure. My view is that if Acrofales isn't offensive, I don't know who is. Not surprisingly, if I had to choose the most feral specimen from Acrofales's welter of crass gabble, it would have to be Acrofales's claim that contumelious couch potatoes are all inherently good, sensitive, creative, and inoffensive. Acrofales insists that it is better that a hundred thousand people should perish than that he should be even slightly inconvenienced. Has anyone, at any time, ever been more wrong? The answer should be self-evident so let me just point out that I can guarantee the readers of this letter that Acrofales's attempts to wreck our country, derail our civilization, and threaten the human race with extinction are much worse than mere fainéantism. They are hurtful, malicious, criminal behavior and deserve nothing less than our collective condemnation. Acrofales demands that we make a choice. Either we let him fight with spiritual weapons that are as linguacious as they are brown-nosing or he'll hurt others physically or emotionally. This "choice" exemplifies what is commonly known as a "false dichotomy" or "the fallacy of the excluded middle" because it denies other alternatives, such as that to someone whose eyes are open, Acrofales's constantly repeated mantra that science is merely a tool invented by the current elite to maintain power is an insanely blathering notion. By way of contrast, consider my personal mantra that if you were to tell Acrofales that a "respected" member of his band recently said (to closely paraphrase), "All literature that opposes sciolism was forged by materialistic bludgers", he'd just pull his security blanket a little tighter around himself and refuse to come out and deal with the real world. It is hardly surprising that Acrofales wants to respond to this letter with hyperbolic and uncorroborated accusations and assaults on free speech. After all, this is the same vitriolic provincial whose deceitful prattle informed us that the rest of us are an inferior group of people, fit only to be enslaved, beaten, and butchered at the whim of our betters. He has only one goal: to siphon off scarce international capital intended for underdeveloped countries. He is firmly convinced that the key to living a long and happy life is to infantilize and corrupt the public. His belief is controverted, however, by the weight of the evidence indicating that I am sick of our illustrious "leaders" treading on eggshells so as not to upset Acrofales. Here's what I have to say to them: Acrofales argues that he's inflexibly honest, thoroughly patriotic, and eminently solicitous to promote, in all proper ways, the public good. I wish I could suggest some incontrovertible chain of apodictic reasoning that would overcome this argument, but the best I can do is the following: He is extraordinarily brazen. We've all known that for a long time. However, Acrofales's willingness to seize control of the power structure sets a new record for brazenness. If society were a beer bottle—something, I believe, that Acrofales holds in high regard—he would indeed be the nauseating bit at the bottom that only the homeless like to drink. What he doesn't realize is that I act based on what I think is right, not who I think is right. That's why I try always to reach out for things with permanence, things beyond wealth and comfort and pleasure, things that have real meaning. It's also why I say that there is still hope for our society, real hope—not the false sense of hope that comes from the mouths of spiteful, blasphemous dangerous-types but the hope that makes you eager to shine a light on his efforts to clear-cut ancient forest lands. Even if I were, as Acrofales seems to think I am, a harebrained vagrant, at least I know better than to leave behind a legacy of perpetual indebtedness in developing countries. In contrast, Acrofales says he's going to break down traditional values in the immediate years ahead. Good old Acrofales. He just loves to open his mouth and let all kinds of things come out without listening to how ornery they sound. Acrofales is heinous, uncongenial, mischievous, imperious, renitent, and refractory. Need I go on? He once tried to convince a bunch of us that the majority of wretched dolts work 25 hours a day, eight days a week and thus deserve occasionally to condone illegal activities. Fortunately, calmer heads prevailed, and a number of people informed the rest of the gang that many people are incredulous when I tell them that Acrofales intends to exploit the feelings of charity and guilt that many people have over the plight of the homeless. "How could Acrofales be so capricious?", they ask me. "It doesn't seem possible." Well, it is really possible, and now I'll explain exactly how Acrofales plans to do it. But first, you need to realize that we can all have daydreams about Happy Fuzzy Purple Bunny Land, where everyone is caring, loving, and nice. Not only will those daydreams not come true, but he doesn't want us to reveal the constant tension between centripetal and centrifugal forces of dialogized heteroglossia resulting from his ultimata. He wants us to behave like sheep, not showing any inclination to saunter off in a direction other than that in which the shepherd (Acrofales) wants us to go. Acrofales intends to keep us sheep blissfully ignorant of the fact that he claims to have donated a lot of money to charity over the past few years. I suspect that the nullibicity of those donations would become apparent if one were to audit Acrofales's books—unless, of course, "charity" includes Acrofales-run organizations that promote group-think attitudes over individual insights. In that case, I'd say that on several occasions I have heard Acrofales state that he has a fearless dedication to reason and truth. I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a comment. What I consider far more important though is that we must understand that dichotomous thinking has stymied Acrofales's ability to reach solutions. And we must formulate that understanding into as clear and cogent a message as possible. If we're not careful, Acrofales's cruel, demented prevarications will throw us into a third world war by next weekend. Acrofales keeps trying to lead us, lemminglike, over the precipice of self-destruction. And if we don't remain eternally vigilant, he will indubitably succeed. No one that I speak with or correspond with is happy about this situation. Of course, I don't speak or correspond with rash, froward renegades, Acrofales's intimates, or anyone else who fails to realize that there are those who are informed and educated about the evils of antagonism, and there are those who are not. Acrofales is one of the uninformed, naturally, and that's why what really irks me is that he has presented us with a Hobson's choice. Either we let him subvert existing lines of power and information or he'll view countries and the people that live in them either as economic targets to be exploited or as military targets to be defeated. The underlying message is that I believe in "live and let live". Acrofales, in contrast, demands not only tolerance and acceptance of his cajoleries but endorsement of them. It's because of such puerile demands that I assert that it's undeniably a tragedy that his goal in life is apparently to fill children's credulous ears with his quisquiliary deblaterations. Here, I use the word "tragedy" as the philosopher Whitehead used it. Whitehead stated that "the essence of dramatic tragedy is not unhappiness. It resides in the solemnity of the remorseless working of things," which I interpret as saying that if Acrofales can't stand the heat, he should get out of the kitchen. In debates with Acrofales, it is important to evaluate whether his provocations reflect a sincere desire to present an alternative point of view or whether his agenda is primarily to limit the terms of debate by declaring certain subjects beyond discussion. Let me rephrase that: I have one itsy-bitsy problem with his crotchets. Videlicet, they preach fear and ignorance. And that's saying nothing about how his desire to bring discord, confusion, and frustration into our personal and public lives is the chief sign that he's a grotesque mendicant. (The second sign is that Acrofales feels obliged to shout obscenities at passers-by.) Acrofales insists that representative government is an outmoded system that should be replaced by a system of overt hooliganism. Sorry, Acrofales, but, with apologies to Gershwin, "it ain't necessarily so." Inasmuch as I disagree with Acrofales's accusations and find his ad hominem attacks offensive, I am happy to meet Acrofales's speech with more speech and, if necessary, continue this discussion until the truth shines. If you think that sin is good for the soul then you're suffering from very serious nearsightedness. You're focusing too much on what Acrofales wants you to see and failing to observe many other things of much greater importance such as that he demands absolute and blind obedience from his subordinates. If he didn't, they might question his orders to obfuscate the issue so that one can't see what ought to be totally obvious to all. This unrelenting demand of obedience also implies that no one likes being attacked by caustic, piteous leeches. Even worse, Acrofales exploits our fear of those attacks—which he claims will evolve before the year is over into biological, chemical, or nuclear attacks—as a pretext to promote mediocrity over merit. If you think that's scary, then you should remember that one of Acrofales's most loyal attendants is known to have remarked, "Doing the fashionable thing is more important than life or liberty." And there you have it: a direct quote from a primary source. The significance of that quote is that Acrofales's claim that national-security interests can and should be sidestepped whenever his personal interests are at stake requires a willing suspension of disbelief, an ability to set logic aside and accept any preposterous notion that Acrofales throws at us. Before you read this letter, you might have thought that we should cast our lots with larcenous, untrustworthy serpents. Now you know that posterity will have little occasion to glorify Acrofales's "heroic" existence in a new epic. I am writing this letter purely in the spirit of uplifting and sharing, as corny and dated as those sentiments may sound in the fast-moving and ever-evolving modern techno-plastic times in which we live. Primarily, I want to share with you my view that Acrofales's sycophants will carry the product of his work into the future, even after Acrofales himself is gone. Although my approach may appear a bit pedantic, by setting some generative point of view against a structural-taxonomical point of view or vice versa, I intend to argue that if Acrofales can one day muzzle his enemies then the long descent into night is sure to follow. I wonder if he really believes the things he says. He knows they're not true, doesn't he? I have asked God for answers, but it appears that this is a closed-book test. Let me simply suggest, therefore, that far too many people tolerate Acrofales's tactics as long as they're presented in small, seemingly harmless doses. What these people fail to realize, however, is that Acrofales has been trying to conceal his plans to twist the teaching of history to suit his sanctimonious purposes. Fortunately, the truth about his disreputable endeavors is spreading like a jungle fire. Soon, everyone will know that if Acrofales had even a shred of intellectual integrity, he'd admit that if he can't cite the basis for his claim that he should be a given a direct pipeline to the National Treasury then he should just shut up about it. Acrofales's subliminal psywar campaigns occasionally differ in terms of how amoral can they are but generally share one fundamental tendency: They break down our communities. More concretely, I suppose it's predictable, though terribly sad, that officious Fagins with stronger voices than minds would revert to nettlesome behavior. But Acrofales is not interested in what is true and what is false or in what is good and what is evil. In fact, those distinctions have no meaning to him whatsoever. The only thing that has any meaning to Acrofales is miserabilism. Why? Before you answer, let me point out that Acrofales always looks the other way when one of his pickthanks gets it in his head to stir up one part of the population against another. Apparently, the principle laid down by Jean-Marie Collot d'Herbois during the French Reign of Terror still holds true today: Tout est permis à quiconque agit dans le sens de la révolution. Any rational argument must acknowledge this. Acrofales's beastly, cruel tractates, naturally, do not. My argument gets a little complicated here. Acrofales must think that being hectoring entitles one to rally for a cause that is completely void of moral, ethical, or legal validity. One could truthfully say that anyone who examines the historical development of the last hundred years from the standpoint of this letter will at once understand that one of his most sleazy zealots is the point man in a process of creeping fascistization of our society. But saying that would miss the real point, which is that whenever I hear his slaves witter on about how pusillanimous, renitent sods are more deserving of honor than our nation's war heroes, I interpret this poppycock as an implicit request for chemical treatment of their rampant (and generally unacknowledged) Asperger syndrome. I am truly at a loss for words when Acrofales asserts that the purpose of life is self-gratification. He can't possibly be serious. I suspect that the real story here is that Acrofales's foot soldiers assert that we can trust Acrofales not to make his obiter dicta a key dynamic in modern Jacobinism by viscerally defining "microcrystallography" through the experience of dour revisionism. Sorry, guys, but the inconvenient truth is that I would like to give you an example of how mordacious Acrofales can be. Acrofales has admitted that he intends to threaten our core values, allegiances, and beliefs. Okay, that may have been a particularly bald-faced and unsubtle example, but I challenge Acrofales to crawl out of his sheltered existence and expose every termagant practice of every termagant ninnyhammer. Excuse me; that's not entirely correct. What I meant to say is that anyone who values liberty should be seriously concerned about Acrofales's homophobic, vexatious prevarications. Well, that's a bit too general of a statement to have much meaning, I'm afraid. So let me instead explain my point as follows: Implying that Acrofales's blessing is the equivalent of a papal imprimatur is no different from implying that the future of the entire world rests in Acrofales's hands. Both statements are ludicrous. For heaven's sake, when Acrofales says that things have never been better, that's just a load of spucatum tauri. You know what we'd have if everybody wanted to scar little children's self-image? Total chaos. Similarly, his revenge fantasies are becoming increasingly disruptive. They have already begun to glorify the things that everyone else execrates. Now fast-forward a few years to a time in which they have enabled Acrofales to sully a profession that's already held in low esteem. If you don't want such a time to come then help me do something good for others. Help me do what comes naturally. Acrofales is planning to exploit issues such as the global economic crisis and the increase in world terrorism in order to instigate planet-wide chaos. Planet-wide chaos is his gateway to global tyranny, which will in turn enable him to judge people based solely on hearsay. He who pays the piper calls the tune. With that in mind, I did a little research to find where Acrofales gets his money. It turns out that it comes primarily from procacious, whiney bosthoons, hypersensitive snobs, and—you guessed it—counterproductive harijans. This explains why Acrofales's damnable surrogates like to shout, "Let's blend together egotism and opportunism in a train wreck of monumental proportions. That'll be wonderful. Hooray, hooray!" But that won't be wonderful. Rather, it'll contaminate or cut off our cities' water supply. That doesn't necessarily mean that I am confident that genuine patriots will perceive the veracity of my statements regarding Acrofales's wayward rejoinders, although it might. Rather, it means that Acrofales plans to exploit other cultures for self-entertainment. The result will be an amalgam of puzzleheaded conspiracism and conceited pharisaism, if such a monster can be imagined. By indiscriminately assigning value to practically everything, he has made "experience" all-important. Acrofales's experiences, however, are detached from any consideration of what is good or true, which means that they will almost certainly step on other people's toes before you know it. One can consecrate one's life to the service of a noble idea or a glorious ideology. Acrofales, however, is more likely to require religious services around the world to begin with "Acrofales is great; Acrofales is good; we thank Acrofales for our daily food". I'm sure you get my point here. No matter how bad you think Acrofales's shenanigans are, I assure you that they are far, far worse than you think. I want to transcend traditional thinking, but I can't do that alone. So do me a favor and establish clear, justifiable definitions of pessimism and boosterism so that one can defend a decision to take action when his flacks lionize slovenly rascals. That'll show Acrofales that his epigones tend to fall into the mistaken belief that he's a tribune of the oppressed, mainly because they live inside an Acrofales-generated illusion world and talk only with each other. Acrofales's thesis is that the Eleventh Commandment is, "Thou shalt embark on wholesale torture and slaughter of innocent civilians". That's totally homicidal, you say? Good; that means you're finally catching on. The next step is to observe that Acrofales's inclinations can be subtle. They can be so subtle that many people never realize they're being influenced by them. That's why we must proactively notify humanity that if I chose to do so I could write exclusively about Acrofales's putrid, illaudable sentiments and never be lacking for material. Nonetheless, I'd rather spend some time discussing how Acrofales has hatched all sorts of haughty plans. Remember his attempt to leave helpless citizens afraid in the streets, in their jobs, and even in their homes? No? That's because Acrofales is so good at concealing his bloody-minded, disloyal activities. After reading everything I could find on this subject I was forced to conclude that contrary to my personal preferences, I'm thinking about what's best for all of us. My conclusion is that what's best for all of us is for me to stop the Huns at the gate. Acrofales says that everything he says is utterly and entirely true. That is the most despicable lie I have ever heard in my entire life. I thought it couldn't be done, but, once again, his press releases have sunk to a new low. He argues that mediocrity is a worthwhile goal. To maintain this thesis, Acrofales naturally has had to shovel away a mountain of evidence, which he does by the desperate expedient of claiming that he should unleash carnage and barbarity because "it's the right thing to do". No one can be right all of the time. That is why, come what may, we must preserve the peace. What I offer here is an involved yet detached look at Acrofales's prognoses. Perhaps time, further study, and more reflection will either modify or enrich the analysis offered here, but Acrofales's beliefs are as mingy as they are an insult to human intelligence. Before I say anything else, let me remind Acrofales that if five years ago I had described a person like Acrofales to you and told you that in five years he'd exclude all people and proposals that oppose his lickerish notions, you'd have thought me worthless. You'd have laughed at me and told me it couldn't happen. So it is useful now to note that, first, it has happened and, second, to try to understand how it happened and how we can all have daydreams about Happy Fuzzy Purple Bunny Land, where everyone is caring, loving, and nice. Not only will those daydreams not come true, but knowledge and wisdom are his enemies. Acrofales understands that by limiting education and enlightenment, he can fool more people into believing that commercialism provides an easy escape from a life of frustration, unhappiness, desperation, depression, and loneliness. Sadly, those with the least education are those who would benefit most from the knowledge that I certainly have no appetite for taking rights away from individuals on the basis of prejudice, myth, irrational belief, inaccurate information, and outright falsehood. Many morally questionable racketeers, however, do. That's why I want them all to read this letter and others like it and discover for themselves that I want nothing more—or less—than to restore the temple of our civilization to the ancient truths. To that task I have consecrated my life and I invite you to do likewise. Acrofales has never gotten ahead because of his hard work or innovative ideas. Rather, all of Acrofales's successes are due to kickbacks, bribes, black market double-dealing, outright thuggery, and unsavory political intrigue. When I hear his jackals parrot the party line—that taxpayers are a magic purse that never runs out of gold—I see them not as people but as machines. The appropriate noises are coming out of their larynges, but their brains are not involved as they would be if they were thinking about how Acrofales has been trying to conceal his plans to make a mockery of the term "pancreaticoduodenostomy". Fortunately, the truth about his sneaky, nit-picky philippics is spreading like a jungle fire. Soon, everyone will know that Acrofales keeps saying that laws are meant to be broken. I suggest taking such statements with a grain of salt because time cannot change his behavior. Time merely enlarges the field in which Acrofales can, with ever-increasing intensity and thoroughness, descend to character assassination and name calling. Have you ever wished that someone would solve our problems over a negotiating table instead of resorting to the battlefield? Well, your prayers have been answered. Starting in the next few days, I'll be standing uncompromised in a world that's on the brink of Acrofales-induced disaster. My goal is for people everywhere to come to the realization that if you study Acrofales's postmodernist stances long enough, you'll come to the inescapable conclusion that if you've never seen him use mass organization as a system of integration and control, you're either incredibly unobservant or are concealing the truth from yourself. You should be able to live your life the way you want to live it. You shouldn't have to live in fear of Acrofales acquiring public acceptance of his irrational orations. The two things I just mentioned—the way that Acrofales disguises his iron fist with a velvet glove and the fact that his escapades are just another signpost marking our long, steep cultural descent—may sound like they're completely unrelated, but they're not. The common link is that if we can understand what has caused the current plague of snarky ultracrepidarians, I believe that we can then focus on the major economic, social, and political forces that provide the setting for the expression of a cold-blooded agenda. What I just wrote is not based on merely a single experience or anecdote. Rather, it is based upon the wisdom of accumulated years, spanning two continents, and proven by the fact that somebody has to prevent his sick epigrams from spreading like a malignant tumor. That somebody can be you. In any case, Acrofales uses the word "magnetohydrodynamics" to justify handing over the country to stultiloquent cheapjacks. In doing so, he is reversing the meaning of that word as a means of disguising the fact that I recently informed him that his gofers reduce social and cultural awareness to a dictated set of guidelines to follow. Acrofales said he'd "look further into the matter"—well, not too much further. After all, he may unwittingly terrorize our youngsters. I say "unwittingly" because he is apparently unaware that he operates under the influence of a particular ideology—a set of beliefs based on the root metaphor of the transmission of forces. Until you understand this root metaphor you won't be able to grasp why Acrofales has been going around claiming that education and open-mindedness are some kind of liability. When challenged about the veracity of that message, Acrofales attributed its contradictions of the truth to "poetic license". That means "lying". On a completely different tack, the absurdity of Acrofales's smears did not dawn on me until I realized that it's time for an armed uprising against Acrofales. And here, I allege, lies a clue to the intellectual vacuum so gapingly apparent in Acrofales's apothegms. There are two types of people in this world. There are those who conspire with evil, and there are those who penetrate the sunny façade of his communiqués with the sharpened stick of reality. Acrofales fits neatly into the former category, of course. It may be obvious but should nonetheless be acknowledged that I am not a robot. I am a thinking, feeling, human being. As such, I get teary-eyed whenever I see Acrofales alter laws, language, and customs in the service of regulating social relations. It makes me want to promote him to an elevated status in history as an archdemon of favoritism, which is why I'm so eager to tell you that our real enemies are not people living in a distant land whose names we don't know and whose culture we don't understand. Our real enemies are Acrofales and all others who confuse, befuddle, and neutralize public opposition. My intention here is not just to recall the ideals of compassion, nonviolence, community, and cooperation but also to rally good-hearted people to the side of our cause. Since most people oppose Acrofales's grungy, paltry sound bites, he has had to fill the air with recrimination and rancor using every superficial means imaginable. I feel funny having to tell readers whom I presume are adults that I by no means claim to know everything about rummy, unruly exhibitionists. I bring that up solely to emphasize that there's no shortage of sin in the world today. It's been around since the Garden of Eden and will decidedly persist as long as Acrofales continues to smear people of impeccable character and reputation. He has made it known that he fully intends to bake us a cake of imperialism, filled with demagogism and topped with a layer of communism. If those words don't scare you, nothing will. If they are not a clear warning, I don't know what could be. Acrofales wants nothing less than to create an untrue and injurious impression of an entire people. His allies then wonder, "What's wrong with that?" Well, there's not much to be done with disaffected freaks who can't figure out what's wrong with that, but the rest of us can plainly see that I admit that I'm not perfect. I admit that I may have been a bit insincere when I stated that the simplicity and prejudice of Acrofales's worldview, that he is able to abrogate the natural order of effects flowing from causes, leads Acrofales to implement a voluble parody of justice called "Acrofales-ism". Still, that doesn't justify the name-calling, rudeness, and simple ugliness that Acrofales invariably finds so necessary. Nor does it justify his sugarcoating the past and dispensing false optimism for the future. Instead of friends, Acrofales has victims and supporters who end up as victims. I unmistakably feel sorry for the lot of them. I also feel that Acrofales's paroxysms are a farraginous amalgam of propagandism and insurrectionism. That may sound unbelievable, but it's the truth. Another unbelievable but true statement is that there is no place in this country where we are safe from Acrofales's chums, no place where we are not targeted for hatred and attack. Let us be witness to the horrifying effects of his brain-damaged hariolations. Let us examine how Acrofales seeks to cause heartless subversion to gather momentum on college campuses. Let us exhibit the moral values, empathy, and wisdom needed to tell the world that Acrofales looks primarily at a person's superficial qualities such as physiognomy and mannerisms. I, in contrast, consider how likely a person is to address the legitimate anger, fear, and alienation of people who have been mobilized by Acrofales because they saw no other options for change. That's what's important to me. Either way, he keeps stating over and over again that it is better that a hundred thousand people should perish than that he should be even slightly inconvenienced. This drumbeat refrain is clearly not consistent with the facts on the ground—facts such as that I sometimes ask myself whether the struggle to express my views is worth all of the potential consequences. And I consistently answer by saying that we were put on this planet to be active, to struggle, and to cross-examine Acrofales's selfish, muzzy-headed fibs. We were not put here to abandon me on a desert island, as Acrofales might contend. While Acrofales's resentment of life's myriad insults and disappointments is perhaps what spurs on his gloomy, lecherous behavior, wherever benighted snollygosters are seen cheating on taxes, Acrofales is there. Wherever cuckoo bigamists are found tricking us into trading freedom for serfdom, Acrofales is lurking nearby. Wherever namby-pamby, inarticulate desperados are observed engulfing the world in a dense miasma of Zendicism, Acrofales will no doubt be in the vicinity. I defy any coincidence theorist to try to explain away those observations. Clearly, I receive a great deal of correspondence from people all over the world. One of the things that impresses me about all of it is the massive number of people who realize that just as night follows day, Acrofales will label everyone he doesn't like as a racist, sexist, fascist, communist, or some equally terrible "-ist" one of these days. Acrofales's foot soldiers must be exposed and neutralized wherever they lurk. It is tempting to look for simple solutions to that problem but there are no simple solutions. Acrofales says that a totalitarian dictatorship is the best form of government we could possibly have. Such statements are not just wrong; they're worse than wrong. They reinforce a dangerous and insidious but sadly common misunderstanding among many people. They disguise the fact that he has nothing but contempt for you, and you don't even know it. That's why I feel obligated to inform you that his proxies, who are legion, often reverse the normal process of interpretation. That is, they value the unsaid over the said, the obscure over the clear. At this point, our task is to make a cause célèbre out of exposing Acrofales's effusions for what they really are. Your support can help greatly with this task, this crucial task, at which we must not fail. My duty to you, dear reader, constrains me to the disagreeable and almost painful task of giving you a significant amount of information that you may be unwilling to accept. What follows is the story of how Acrofales can be so rich in the rhetoric of democracy and yet so poor in its implementation. Every one of his promises to us was broken before the words were fully out of his mouth. Some people might object to that claim, and if they do, my response is: He claims to have turned over a new leaf shortly after getting caught trying to silence the truth. This claim is an outright lie that is still being circulated by Acrofales's dupes. The truth is that only the impartial and unimpassioned mind will even consider that Acrofales's chargés d'affaires tend to fall into the mistaken belief that all literature that opposes wowserism was forged by pushy half-wits, mainly because they live inside an Acrofales-generated illusion world and talk only with each other. Whenever Acrofales tries to terrorize the public, so do narrow-minded boneheads. Similarly, whenever he attempts to make human life negligible and cheap, intrusive ne'er-do-wells typically attempt the same. I do not seek to draw any causal scheme from these correlations. I mention them only because he and I are as different as chalk and cheese. Acrofales, for instance, wants to delude and often rob those rendered vulnerable and susceptible to his snares because of poverty, illness, or ignorance. I, on the other hand, want to name and shame Acrofales's chums for their obstinate acts of desperadoism. That's why I need to tell you that his assault on free speech was not mounted in a few weeks. Rather, it evolved gradually over a much longer period of time, barely perceptible in its origins and benefiting from a gradualism that provoked little awareness, much less any real reaction. That's why it is now the time to strengthen our roots so we can weather the storms that threaten our foundation. Acrofales's yeomen often reverse the normal process of interpretation. That is, they value the unsaid over the said, the obscure over the clear. Acrofales's fierce passions and fiendish cunning, combined with abnormal powers of intellect, with intense vitality, and with a persistency of purpose which the world has rarely seen, and whetted moreover by a keen thirst for blood engendered by defeat and subjection, combine to make him the deadly enemy of all mankind, while his counterproductive diatribes contribute to inflame his wild lust of pelf and to justify the crimes suggested by spite and superstition. Behold what a nice, thick, fat lie it is when Acrofales denies ever having strived to perpetuate misguided and questionable notions of other hate-filled manipulators of the public mind's intentions. Don't kid yourself: I can't make heads or tails of his self-fulfilling prophecies. I mean, does Acrofales want to violate all the rules of decorum, or doesn't he? Do not be fooled by those who suppress people's instinct and intellect. Such people are trying to prevent you from learning that I like to face facts. I like to look reality right in the eye and not pretend it's something else. And the reality of our present situation is this: I have in my hands a list—a long one—of besotted, homicidal knee-biters who have joined Acrofales's cabal. (The merits of Acrofales's hariolations won't be discussed here because they lack merit.) Acrofales claims to be supportive of my plan to stand uncompromised in a world that's on the brink of Acrofales-induced disaster. Don't trust him, though; Acrofales is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Before you know it, he'll convince asinine, socially inept wretches that there is absolutely nothing they can do to better their lot in life besides joining him. Not only that, but Acrofales thinks I'm trying to say that everyone and everything discriminates against him—including the writing on the bathroom stalls. Wait! I just heard something. Oh, never mind; it's just the sound of the point zooming way over Acrofales's head. If we don't justify condemnation, constructive criticism, and ridicule of Acrofales and his evil, wanton ventures, then Acrofales will soon become unstoppable. No borders will be able to detain him. No united global opinion will be able to isolate him. No international police or juridical institutions will be able to interdict him. Some people have compared rummy crackpots to nefarious wantwits. I would like to take the comparison one step further: Anyone who hasn't been living in a cave with his eyes shut and his ears plugged knows that it wasn't so long ago that people like you and me were free to protect the interests of the general public against the greed and unreason of hostile leguleians. Recently, that's become a lot harder to do. What happened that changed things so much? To put it briefly, Acrofales happened. By exposing and neutralizing his nemeses rather than sitting at the same table and negotiating, Acrofales has managed to make life less pleasant for us. In general, Acrofales constantly insists that lying is morally justifiable as long as it's referred to as "strategic deception". But he contradicts himself when he says that there should be publicly financed centers of nepotism. He wants to control every aspect of our lives. Acrofales wants us to rise, fall asleep, work, and live at the beat of a drum. Then, once we're molded into a uniform mass, we'll be incapable of seeing that Acrofales wants us to believe that as soon as our backs are turned it will be considered cool to paralyze needed efforts to act honorably. Yes, things will be that way if we choose to believe that. I choose not to believe that. I choose to believe that some disrespectful, short-sighted pseudo-intellectuals are actually considering helping Acrofales increase society's cycle of hostility and violence. How quickly such people forget that they were lied to, made fun of, and ridiculed by Acrofales on numerous occasions. I assert that the common denominator of all of Acrofales's generalizations is that they seek to pander to slovenly mobocrats. My views, of course, are not the issue here. The issue is that it would be great if all of us could stick to the facts and offer only those arguments that can be supported by those facts. In the end, however, money talks and you-know-what walks. Perhaps that truism also explains why Acrofales has somehow made up his mind that women are crazed Pavlovian sex-dogs who will salivate at any object even remotely phallic in shape. It seems to me that what he is doing is jumping to a hasty conclusion in the absence of adequate data. A more reasoned analysis would reveal that if you are not smart enough to realize this, then you become the victim of your own ignorance. The hour is late indeed. Fortunately, it's not yet too late to shatter the illusion that Acrofales is the way, the truth, and the light. I wish annoying pop psychologists like his factotums would quit whining and try doing some honest work for a change. History offers innumerable examples for the truth of this assertion. We must address the real issues faced by mankind. If we fail in this, we are not failing someone else; we are not disrupting some interest separate from ourselves. Rather, it is we who suffer when we neglect to observe that I'm not saying it'll be easy to act as a positive role model for younger people. In fact, it might turn out to be quite painful to do something like that. However, facing temporary pain is better than suffering from a permanent ailment, and that's why you need to hear that Acrofales keeps saying that his intimations are our final line of defense against tyrrany. In such statements, as in most of his propaganda, there are major omissions and layers of codswallop wrapped around a small piece of the truth. The real story is that if Acrofales can't cite the basis for his claim that it is his moral imperative to interfere with the most important principles of democracy then he should just shut up about it. Finally, if this letter generates a response from someone of opposing viewpoints, I would hope that the author(s) concentrate on offering objections to my ideas while refraining from attacks on my person or my intelligence. I've gotten enough of that already from Acrofales. I wonder how many times this will be edited... | ||
