I feel like Drukqs is Aphex Twin's richest/deepest album.
The two tracks Mt St. Michel + St. Michael's Mount and Ziggomatic 17 (two of my all time faves) have this adventure about them - exhilarating and exhausting, demanding and rewarding - that by themselves would make the album great.
Turns out it can also be deadly, murderous; funneling down into physical harm. The reason is simple enough, and it's that prophecy has to do with seeing the present anew, and thus causing the present to change, not so much foretelling. All prophecy, both true and false, seeks to eke out territory in the present. (And already right there, you can easily imagine how certain narcissists and control freaks would be drawn to seek out the stature of prophet, even while oh so humbly denying that they are any prophet, or saying that they were burdened with the task.)
To put it another way, though prophecy looks forward, and indeed, foretells, the material culmination of prophecy (both true and false) bears upon the present. Prophecy is for the renewal of the present. True prophecy brings life into the present; false prophecy brings death into the present. And both do those things in ways that the prophet does not foresee.
People seem to have this notion that false prophecy is just prophecy that turns out to be inaccurate, like oh, my dire prophecy turned out not true? oh well, I guess I have egg on my face. But that's not remotely the extent of the evil of false prophecy. And any so-called prophet citing the potential of having egg on their face as the only possible outcome of their utterances if they turn out false, is someone whose utterances are not to be trusted, and is someone who is frankly irresponsible, and is someone cowardly contradicting the proclaimed importance and seriousness of their prophecy. The evils of false prophecy are actually far more insidious and sinister.
I mean, we have already seen the potential for its deadly outcome with the extremely misguided and irresponsible counsels given by the false mystics/prophets and the anonymous locution parrots in response to Covid and the Covid vaccines, in contradiction to the counsels of the Holy Father. There is a discombobulation between reaction and inaction, between exaggeration and denial, between yesterday and today, in the way that these false prophets calcify in their audiences an ever hardening preemptive stance to development of any kind.
But let's talk about how false prophecy fed directly into the murderous siege that took place on the US Capitol.
Let's talk about that.
All the Children of Light vs. Children of Darkness Deep State Deep Church Vigano LifeSiteNews prophecy. The end result being an insurrection on the US Capitol in which five people were killed, and many more who would have been killed, terrorized, injured, and taken hostage if things had gone even just slightly differently. (In fact, the Senate may very well have been saved by the split second decisions of a black police officer.) Not a protest. Not an uprising in which there were some unfortunate deaths. Not a protest that unfortunately boiled over. It was an evil coordinated insurrection, with an evil purpose, and shameful wicked deeds committed that, had it not ultimately failed (as it did), would have been the intentional deaths of many. And it was fed in very large part by false prophecy bolstering a Christian Nationalism. The children of light vs. the children of darkness. When the Capitol police officer was bludgeoned to death by a fire extinguisher, what we saw - according to these utterly blind guides - was people who love their country and love their God.
The false prophets like Mark Mallett who use the word "democrat" as a pejorative, who said Trump "supports life", who went totally snowflake when Pelosi ripped up Trump's speech, like Pelosi ripping up Trump's speech was some deep dark magic incantation that could sink all of American civilization into totalitarianism, but all of Trump's collective criminal acts against life - take your pick, like, oh, I don't know, like his orchestrating a siege on the Capitol, was, well, you know, not an evil seditious crime worthy of total exposure and investigation - oh no, not that.
Anyways, the false prophet Mallett who fearfully snowflaked on Pelosi ripping up a piece of paper has jack to say about the murderous siege (I'm sure in a future post he will chalk the siege up to "the inevitable demise of America because abortion and pornography, and the crowd invading the Capitol, vandalizing and murdering, and planting pipe bombs, was a sort of last patriotic gasp - though somewhat misguided and ultimately the fault of Pelosi ripping up a piece of paper - of the good of Judeo-Christian western civilization yadda yadda yadda" Or some variation thereof. LOL.
But do you see it? The way in which these figures, like Vigano, Mallett, Marshall, Zuhlsdorf, Jones, and kingpin of them all, Trump, just leave their subjects abject in the dust? Trampled under the "tied up heavy burdens" of their erroneous judgements, their false prophecy, which they've crammed down people's throats? Chewed up and spat out. The false prophecy that came out of my mouth and caused this harm? Sorry, that's your problem! The black people in the Capitol building sweeping up their mess while they merrily move on, readjusting the narrative. As Sam Rocha said,
"There is a Nostradamus effect I see among right wing men. They seem to feel that they are capable of reading the times in order to make predictions and then they retrospectively reassemble events to fit their narratives. It is quite crazy and often leads into conspiracy theories."
Indeed, and leads into worse.
The relativists are quickly, desperately, trying to solidify a narrative of "justifiable anger spontaneously boiling over". The usual thin-skinned, snowflake, white privilege whining victim mentality bullshit of the right as their chief response to the exposure of their crimes. They'll use the word "uprising", "protest" and "riot".
And I'll say here, that while technically what took place certainly fits the definition of "riot", those who see and understand what happened would do well not to use the word "riot" in my opinion, as it has connotations that detract from the hard reality of what took place. It was a siege. It was a militia-led, murderous siege, instigated by a sitting president.
But it failed. And it's not, "now let's move on". Justice needs to be served.
