A Lament

There may always be two heros: he who triumphs "'the absolute value' of human life" at the wreckage of a terrorist attack and will send a flood to dilute any derision with vengeance; the other who terminates the man willing to elect an army and deport the youth of the nation. (Or as it is so portrayed in the manifestos of Mikhail Bakunin and Nikolai Morozov.)

Every radical is an extreme extension of the circumstances of his environment. Caring for an environment en radiation involves nausea and financial strain, but the greatest hardship of all is ensuring the environment that not only has the tumor been removed, but so too was the environment addressed that allowed the tumor it's membrane and nourishment. (Membrane, because concealed within, the tumor was stable and allowed space to grow, to further mutate its distinction.)

(Is this the mindset of those biodynamic farmers practicing in Ireland? --In that, by common regard, they're allowed space to further their personal ideologies about the universe and the conversations between the like-minded and otherwise establishes both distinction and their allowance to mutate. Divergent of terrorism or revolution by terroristic terms, these people do not intend to use violence, and are therefore allowed their space.)

[Edit]

I’m tired of physics. But let me explain—

My professor echoed our assigned passage from the night before:

Rope is placed before two men. One end falls before Mini Me, the other before Arnold Schwarzenegger. At the whistle, the men take up the rope and pull in a classic game of ‘Tug-of-War”. Clearly Mini Me is no match for the Terminator in this test of strength. Further, Arnold only exerts as much strength or force as exerted by Mini Me to keep the rope in place. To win the match, Mini Me requires only that Arnold equal his strength plus 1. Mini Me may muster the greatest strength of his ability, but Arnold does not.

This is illustrative of my frustration with an eye for an eye, with tyrants requiring tyrants to rid a society of tyranny, of a revolution to undermine the revolution, of a counter-terrorist for a terrorist. The prescription in highest demand among a people insistent upon studying history and highlighting main events as red lanterns strung between “now” and “then” is homeopathy, a system of likes.

Systematic terrorism as revolutionary is a condition by all those involved. The enactment of terrorism by rule of law against those represented by such authority calls for the same measure in the reproach or revolution. If establishing power is the only service provided to the people under law them those people must pool their allotment of resources (mostly, organization, vitality, and gunpowder) and rise to power. The impact of such a situation upon society is usually drawn out through several generations of repression and suffering; a condition conducive to achieving no greater innovation than access to basic needs.

According to Sergei Nechaev, a revolutionary must compile a wanted list of persons compiled according to how such extraction will further the cause for revolution (and, at which speed the revolution will take full form). The equation is as follows:

-Force of revolution in certain time = #10 person to further cause of revolution

-Greater force of revolution (thus gained from the sacrifice or extraction of #10 from society) at a later time = #9 person whose death would further the cause of revolution; and so on…

It’s a matter of physics and is a proclamation of history as ‘homeopathic’.

(Excuse me, we're proclamating here, "Homeopathic![!!!!]"

[I’ve always wondered if the moon ever exerts the greatest strength of its ability when placed within in relation with the ocean (and vice versa)… Is a monsoon an example of the force of the moon = the force of the ocean, plus 1? Who was it that mentioned that physics can teach you nothing about the human condition?]

Tardy (and less than hearty..)

Tracing the seams to where the basics of my composition begin

My beginning will originate at the seams; at the very basic stitch that maintains a quilt. If ever my beginning should conceal the patterns of its creation then that beginning and that creation do not coincide. In the event that a kinship should escape the pact of beginning and creation like light eludes the sun, then the relationship may persist with parts only common to the history of the organism of study; not, rather, as a point of origin commensurable to the organism itself. For instance, one could not excavate the Iraq War by brushing the rubble of the World Trade Center. The motivations for declaring “Conflict!” precede the rubble and its heyday. Beginning in this way will allow a familiar introduction like producing a birth certificate before the Department of Motor Vehicles. The primer of my print registers under the number and year 1914.

For me, Sloterdijk makes an obvious correlation between industrialized farming and the use of chemical gas as weapons during WWI, noting how the production of chemical gases such as Zyklon B continued under the justification of parasite extermination. During WWII, The German army experienced typhus en epidemique, but resulted with only 10% mortality among the infected. Condemning cloth lice as the carrier of this disease, parasite extermination was still clearly sited as a cause for concern.

Insomuch as they were common to the Germany army, parasites were also a consistent fixture on the farm.

“The principle base idea, after peace has been restored, is to make, in addition to the hydrocyanic acid, other combat substance that the war produced useful for the advancement of farming through the struggle against parasites.” Fritz Haber (50)

More, the term ‘parasite’ spread to embody the stronghold that the Jew, the gypsy, the homosexual etc. had on German society. The enemy of the farm and that of the human race were one and the same in all matters—extermination included.

It’s principle lies in surrounding the enemy long enough—which in practice meant at least some minutes—with a cloud of polluting materials, with a sufficient ‘tactical concentration’, until he would fall victim to his own need to breathe. (45)

How does this idea of using the environment as an ‘expansion of the battle ground’ an area where biodynamic viticulture can comment upon?

A reoccurring theme: Measuring awareness

I wonder about the application of psychology, receptivity, perceptions, tendencies, etc. engaged during other times of war. Consider the following statement from a report assembled by the RAND corporation under the name, “The Iraq Effect: The Middle East After The Iraq War”.

“The ousting of the Iraqi leader created the perception of increased vulnerability on the Arab side, resulting in a tendency to exaggerate the specter of Iran and its associated nonstate allies.” (xii)

Biodynamic viticulture may be very well equipped on measuring those involuntary or indirect draws of nature upon that of the situation.

My largest problem: I don’t know how to cast my characters.

Considering how radical both parties appear, my net of “characters” is large, but where do I get them? —From interviews, reports, articles, videos and books? How do I allow my characters to talk in scenes they have not visited in reality all the while maintain my non-fiction footing? Without encroachment, is there a way to observe the behavioral patterns of a person for a proper projection into my association?

(Or, am I thinking too much?)

Bah Humbug.

I am not inspired because I am not sure where to start this project. I’ve been reading.

That much I have traveled.

I am supposed to write a creative non-fiction. This supposition asks that I develop characters who act upon values, morals— upon a behavioral trend, be it ever changing or ever constant. Then, I am expected to employ them into relationships amongst each other and project their livelihood into a community of my imagination. Whether this creates drama, suspense, or lyrics, I have to be careful never to allow my creative license to infringe upon the rights of my non-fiction work.

I don’t know how to develop characters, yet.
