Into The Maelstrom

We are definitely not ready for
what's about to happen to us

Perhaps this is what Argüélles meant about the Galactic Synchronization that's going to hit us when the Mayan Calendar goes dead in 2012. Exponential expansion of consciousness. Things flying at us way too fast for us to handle.

Like functioning in your sleep. Simultaneous events going on. You're in more than one place at once. Pastpresentfuture all happening at the same time. Jumbled images careening in multiple directions. Air traffic control needed on your own thoughts.

Diary of 9/11 running. Events that changed the world. How to present it? Put it on a CD, sell on Internet, make money? No time, recorder's running and the fuse is lit; people are waiting for this information. Vision of man in North Tower. Wears glasses, eyes wide, tearing at his shirt. He didn't survive. But he called on phone, saw people in cockpit as plane screamed toward impact. Horrible dream we all have. What's it like in those last few moments? Tiny silhouettes holding hands, falling. Would they find them in the pyroclastic dust? That's the past. What did it mean? Sorry. We can’t tell you what happened. It’s classified. National security, you know.

Future. Bush has issued orders. Or maybe it was Jonah Kohn. Summary executions ordered for suburbs. Looting out of control. Post-disaster rules have all changed. ATM machines don’t work. People dragged off to death camps. Win a free trip to Camp Ashcroft! Soldiers everywhere, wearing masks, speaking foreign languages. Don Stacey (I've never met him) and I driving like crazy on two-lane road through swamp. Loudspeakers saying something. I think I saw this in Terminator movie. We have a document that says something important. As if it mattered at this point. Helicopters overhead sweep their floodlights in our eyes.

Present. My sheets are covered in sweat, I am thrashing about. In the darkness, I see the green light of my computer. Get up and write this? Sleep impossible. I have a verbal transcript of what 9/11 has done to the world playing in my head. It’s an excuse to kill everyone. It's all just a dream, a nightmare. But I am awake. And then I realize. That's the problem.

Exponential expansion of consciousness. Coming soon to a planet near you. Tangents. Competing directions of thought. Which way to go? What is the safest? What is most important? Are they the same? Should you forget your loved ones and go for the money? That's what schools, magazines and the TV tell us. Forget your children. Where's the beer? Where’s the Prozac? Anyone for Claritin?

Tangents. Present. Your relatives. The ones you can't convince about what's actually going on. They are sitting rigidly on the edge of their sofa, watching black-and-white military channel about how the British won the Battle of Bulge. I tell them curtly, viciously. Switch to Al-Jazeerah channel. Watch U.S. soldiers sexually torturing children in front of naked Iraqi mothers, weeping through the bars. My relatives adjust their collars, and disdainfully retort: "John, how could you be so inappropriately uncouth?" I see their eyes turn to kaleidoscopes.

Tangents. Future. The chip is implanted in your arm. You can pay your phone bill with a wave. Only you can't talk to anybody they can't hear. Worst, you tell a secret to a friend. The friend tells Mother Homeland Security. They come and take your children. Your children are convinced you are wrong. You see them wearing little olive uniforms, practicing identifying the enemy by the color of their skin, by what they wear. Smiling Tom Ridge tells of new Boy Scout merit badge: shooting prostitutes on street corners. Patriotic music in hiphop format blares.

Tangents. Past. Follow the money as far back as you can. Meyer Amscheld Bauer. When Ferdinand and Isabella threw our cousins out of Spain, they went to England. Fiat currency started as a little bat and grew into a dragon that devoured the whole world. Every U.S. president who was assassinated spoke first about a government by the people printing its own money. The spiffy skyscraper skylines everybody's so proud of — can you say Kuala Lumpur? — are actually spiritual tumors on human society, dragging everyone toward destruction with their glittering illusions. Every person in every war died to improve the profit margin in some banker's ledger. You don't have enough money to pay your bills this month. Don't worry. New program coming in U.S. — turn in a terrorist relative for cash. America as the New Salem, and the witches have traces of C-4 explosive on their hands, or so the military tribunal says as it sentences them to death by a 2-1 vote.

Humans have made the world their toilet bowl and are now caught in the whirlpool flow. Look! You can see the little people waving as they get sucked into the maw. Ah, the Coreolis force. Sometimes once you get things started it's not so easy to stop them. Dick Cheney needs to be on TV doing Tidy Bowl commercials. Flush the little people away and we'll have a peaceful planet, it's that simple. Only don't ask us how we did it. You won't want to know.

Tangent. Past. America is the home of the free and the land of the brave. You saw it so clearly at Abu Ghraib prison, when terrified American soldiers didn't care whether the people they tortured were innocent. They were just following orders. The New America, just following orders, no matter whom it kills. The world is watching. And waiting for an opportunity to appropriately respond to this despotic capitalist insanity. Something to ponder, as America destroys itself. At this point, the world will help us. Destroy ourselves, that is. It will be public service.

Tangent. Present. It's a good life. People love you. Your contentment is dependent on not paying attention to what's going on. So you turn the channel. Mmmm, NASCAR. Listen to the engines roar. Turn up the volume. So you can't hear the screams of Palestinian children with bullets in their heads. Or of American women who have flaming pustules in their bellies, put there by their brave soldier husbands with radioactive semen who shot all those foreign women from a distance so they didn't have to see their faces. But now, the two females become one. What goes around comes around. And peace through fighting terror comes home to roost. Wave your flag. What’s that ringing sound in your ears?

Tangent future. Take a deep breath. Suck that barium into your lungs. You know, barium, the stuff that floats down from the sky that the government put there for its over-the-horizon radar program and to manipulate the weather. Put your genetically modified TV dinner in the microwave to really screw up your system. Read the New York Post, which yowls about hate crimes and then tells you how to kill ragheads. Don't worry. Your children don't see your hypocrisy, either. You've taught them well. You don't hear a peep about truth and justice out of any of them. The future is in good hands. Absolutely Pleasantville.

But wait. That sounds like a Jeep outside, brakes squeaking.

Put your faith in the Lord, the preacher rails. Inside the confessional, you make your ablutions, askforgiveness. Through the latticed grate, the face of the priest becomes visible. It is Donald Rumsfeld. “How can I help you, my child,” he says smiling. “Here, have a Diet Coke.”

All that hard work you did, those children you raised to be loyal and truthful, they’re gone now, serving in Iraq, smoking weed and keeping score of the shadowy silhouettes they’ve brought down with fancy guns in the twilight of a dust-covered city whose name they never really knew. We are what we do. What will they be like when they come home? Whose orders will they follow?

The future is a shimmering pastiche of hope and dreams, all the latest gadgets and new kinds of pleasure. They learned to kill at the mall, you know. At the arcade, where honesty is who you can steal a quarter from?

When was the last time you looked your children in the eyes? When they were on your knee? And who are they now? And who are we?

Worried about the future? Relax. It’s only a dream. But why is it you are telling me you are awake?

When the powers that be ran out of rival societies to conquer and exploit and indigenous innocents to conquer and enslave, they devised an ingenious plan to perpetuate their demonic, moneymaking war machine — they invented fictional characters to pursue and annihilate, and recruited impoverished souls to act out these roles.
