There is a proper place for hate in life, and when understood and used properly, hatred of that which is wrong is a powerful and valuable tool. But when perverted for the use of men to wield power, hatred takes on the dimension of evil itself, and instead of being a device for keeping evil at bey, it becomes the tool by which evil is brought into the affairs of mankind. This is a fine line which all educated people know about, but if the basic educational process is subverted, then it becomes possible for evil to become part of the political process, so that evil becomes normal. This is especially true of societies that normalized the institution of slavery, because the perpetuation of slavery required so many injustices on a day-to-day and hour-to-hour basis, that it required average and ordinary people to bury their reservations about the morality of what they were a part of in order to justify it at all.

In Nazi Germany, propaganda films were made which depicted Jews with the visages of rats, rats being vermin. Learned doctors in white robes would carry on about Eugenics, the science of breeding people, coldly declaring that the white race (the "Aryans") were the pure, perfect human race, while all other "colored" races were impure, and therefore capable of tainting the purity of the white race through miscegnation (racial intermarriage). The colored races -- especially the Semitic, the Arabs and the Jews being the worst -- were deliberately defined with all the power of science as less than human, and therefore not worthy of the regular protections the law reserved for human beings. This is the crux of the issue, because the only way civilized people will join in the slaughter of their fellow human beings, is if a case can be made that they are in fact, not human.

There is a famous case quoted in all the textbooks on psychology, about a young woman who was stabbed about thirty times, and a whole street sat and listened to her screams for a half-hour, and no one DID anything to help her. This happened in the United States. The parallel in Nazi Germany came when the police came to arrest the local Jews, and the neighbors just sat and watched. Another parallel today can be seen in the explosive growth of the U.S. prison population to 1.6 million, with no one questioning or challenging the basic assumptions that have allowed for the imprisonment and penal servitude of such an enormous percentage. The institutions in the United States are literally out of control, dictating policy, feeding disinformation to the population, and the population is in a state of constant emergency, because it is being manipulated for the benefit of the continuation of the institutions.

A prime example is the way the United States Government funds its global military establishment. Once a year the Congress has to allocate and apportion funds; so once a year the whole nation is exposed to the most crude calculations of the potential threats to American security, real and imagined, along with imaginary capabilities designed to meet arbitrary goals. (Why should the U.S. military be capable of fighting two wars in two separate parts of the world?) For example, today there is no Soviet Union, so Iraq has been sacrificed as an enemy; but when met on the battlefield, its forces melted away. Likewise, the USSR never once actually went to war with the US, even though the imminence of such a war was a foregone conclusion to the pundits in the media for decades. The use of threat inflation kept the whole Cold War machinery of the national security state in operation until the East Bloc disappeared due to its own implosion. The threat of an enemy was used to whittle away at the basic civil rights of the American people, until the average person was so afraid that he felt grateful to relinquish his rights to freedom, in exchange for the feeling of security. This is always the Faustian bargain, one which should never be entered, because it is wrong to trade freedom for security; the very purpose of government is to provide security, and if it fails, it should not be rewarded with absolute power.

The collapse of the communist world left the national security state in the lurch, and it had to devise new enemies to take the place of the old communist boogeyman. Government before the Revolutionary Era, in theory, represented a united community; the traditional chief of a tribe, or nation, was the father of the people, who were a family. After the revolution the government became a machine, that was wielded on and over the people, and upon them. This began in the United States, but it truly flourished in the form of the French Revolution, which shook European civilization to its roots, altering it forever. We can see in the first days of the French Revolution the first signs of a new kind of society that is totally unlike the unified human society that had existed up until that time; a revolutionary society that was based on the masses, and the dynamics of driving masses.

The heart and soul of the revolutionary society is the Reign of Terror. Officially, the French Reign of Terror lasted for a specific period of time, coming to an end with the downfall of Robespierre. But in truth, the Terror outlives the institutions that invoke it, because in a society of masses, the only force that really motivates individuals en masse is fear. The Age of Republics was born through the very deliberate use of fear and terror, republicans being the originators of terrorism. They understood that human society had ancient primordial loyalties to the families that had provided them with kings and saints, and the first republicans wanted to disconnect the state from these ancient loyalties, not of course, for any altruistic purpose, but because they intended to profit from it themselves. The only way that this could be done was by the use of deadly coercion. In a society where those who protest are murdered, protest takes the form of silence.

In the society of the United States, hatred is an old tool of power. The way Indian villages were put to the torch, and men, women and children were slaughtered in cold blood, all reflected the values of revolutionary society, which was a crusader force aggressively pursuing its own rationalized brutalities in the name of progress. The popular culture downplayed the humanity of the Indians, so that the act of murdering an Indian became paralleled to the killing of a wild animal. States like California even had bounties on Indians, adding a monetary incentive for white Americans to hunt Indians. Today we understand how twisted this form of logic is, but we still persist in it, when we teach our children to compare the lives of human beings we call "drug dealers" to cockroaches. (The politics of this becomes even more poignant when we consider for a moment that the real damage done to American society is not done by illegal drug dealers, but by legal drugs sold by pharmaceutical firms. The number of people who died last year from heroin is tiny when compared to the number who died due to overdoses of valium and alcohol).

The media is constantly telling the average person who to hate, and the way this is done is through the judicial process. It is easy to forget that criminals are being defined by a political system that is profiting from the creation of a criminal class. It is a natural impulse to hate criminals, but the fact that the media builds up evidence that lacks substance to coax us into hating people who are not in fact guilty, has had a powerful impact on modern American society. A good example is the case of Geronimo Pratt, the former member of the Black Panthers. Before the judicial system was forced, by hard evidence, to back down and release Mr. Pratt, the media maintained the state's interest in the case, portraying him as a convicted murderer. Once the genuine evidence of the FBI's effort to frame Mr. Pratt was accepted by a court of law, the media changed its position reluctantly.

Another example of this influence peddling can be found in the case of Mr. Jewell, the security guard who found the pipe bomb at the Atlanta Olympics, who was initially hailed as a hero. When suspicion fell on him, suddenly "authoritative" shadowy sources leaked his identity to the media, which dutifully reported it as though Mr. Jewell was the obvious criminal responsible for the bombing. Out of nowhere, this man is vilified in public. He is crucified; he is portrayed as the face of evil by a media that didn't feel any obligation to do anything more than prop up the allegations of the Government. When the wholesale ruination of Mr. Jewell's identity was questioned on CNN&Company by a libertarian lawyer, Mrs. Tillotson responded that she felt that the destruction of Mr. Jewell was merely, "good police work." Later, when the FBI begrudgingly had to give Mr. Jewell a letter clearing his name, and the media was forced to account for its rush to judgment, in secret cash settlements to Mr. Jewell, all the pundits were put out that the mass media had to remunerate Mr. Jewell at all. Again, Mrs. Tillotson felt that it set a bad precedent!

The hate Americans feel for criminals is now even working against them, as the politicians in Congress put the last finishing touches on the police state. The most vile criminals are used as a basis for narrowing down everyone's civil rights, and no one notices that the average is being based on the worst among us. Recently the Supreme Court made a ruling that opened the door for Americans convicted of crimes, who have served their sentences, of being imprisoned for life. No longer is imprisonment meant to punish someone for a defineable time period, now imprisonment represents the alteration of one's class, to a permanent inferior status. The imprisoned felon is a publicly held slave, excluded from the protection of the law through the very Constitutional Amendment that abolished slavery! It validates the most monstrous brutality, and it is all perfectly legal!

The death penalty is always at first invoked against the child molester, or the serial killer, but it isn't long before it is invoked against the dissident, the political opposition. To oppose the rulers is the same as treason, they telling us they are protecting us; yet who is protecting us from them? The most compelling example of the political use of hate can be found in the prosecution of Timothy McVeigh. Who hasn't felt the urge to hate this "mass-murderer?" Any time McVeigh's name was used in the media, it was accompanied by images of rescuers emerging from the ruins of the Murrah Federal Building, carrying the lifeless and bloody bodies of children. Yet Mr. McVeigh is also part of a nationwide movement of opposition to the Federal Government, a movement the media has made a deliberate attempt to malign by associating it with so-called "hate groups." This is not to justify the genuine hate being generated by extreme right-wing groups, instead it is an attempt to understand how hate is being used by the major institutions to control society. In order for the Federal Government to get public approval for the execution of its mortal enemy, Timothy McVeigh, it had to portray him as a viscious mass-murderer, instead of the mild-mannered dissident he really is, who got carried away by a stupid, ill-conceived plan-of-action capable of catching the attention of Federal bureaucrats who are no strangers to cruelty.

The Three-Strikes-and-your-out laws were passed under promises that it would only be applied to crimes involving violent felonies. But when put into practice, people were going to prison for life for technicalities, such as an accumulation of misdemeanors that technically add up to felonies. The Attorneys General and the politicians stampede the voters with phantom fears of violent crimes, and then they systematically strip the people of their civil rights. They get their foot in the door by justifying the new stricter laws using highly publicized atrocities, then they expand their control by expanding the application of the new laws to whole new activities that are only illegal because they represent opposition to the politicians and their agendas.

The Los Angeles County jail takes in 250,000 inmates a year, and the majority are held for violations of the vehicle code. The new stricter registration and insurance laws are hamstringing the average man, who not only has to purchase an overpriced registration from the state, but also has to purchase insurance from state-monopolies that function as cartels. For the businessman who is the beneficiary of such a system of legalized graft, it is like fishing in a barrel; and for the man on the street, who has to buy the overpriced insurance, it is like paying an extra tax for the luxury of driving. But for the majority that cannot afford the registration or insurance, it is a windfall for the state, which is enriched by the system of bail and forfeiture that is at the core of the traffic laws.

Hatred is at the core of the Federal Government, as it looks upon the whole American people with fear and trepidation. Schools resemble concentration camps, and ghettos exist under the cloud of police occupation. Ethnic minorities cling together, held out of mainstream society by myriads of prejudices and suspicions which are all fed and promoted by rumors and threats of war that derive from the offices of power. The FBI's greatest ancient fear is the rising of the black people, angered by their historic exploitation, ready for revenge. It is that revenge that every fibre of the Federal Establishment is dedicated to avoiding, because the United States Government, in particular, is aware of its history relative to the minority communities. That is why the prisons are full of black men, based on the phoney difference between rock cocaine and powder cocaine.

Hate used for political ends is the most evil intent ever held by a human being in his heart. In Germany it led to the Holocaust, in which the most intelligent and intellectual individuals were murdered in cold blood, and the society joined into this slaughter until the whole world descended upon them, to force them to renounce their deadly ambitions. But fascism did not end with the defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945. It did not end with the fall of Communism in 1989. In fact, once the Weimar Republic fell, the head of the Nazi intelligence service realized that the next phase of the World War involved a rivalry between the Soviets and the United States. This man, Gehlen, cut a deal with the Office of Strategic Services (the OSS), to put Nazi intelligence "resources" at the disposal of the United States. After the War, and the dissolution of the OSS, this core group became the basis of an intelligence community that was later formalized as the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

There is no way to contain hatred. There is no way to channel terror, without the side- effects of terror taking a toll. When the leaders cry "wolf" too much, when the wolf actually does strike, it is that much more terrifying. We are stuck with the reality that there is not that much separating the Committees of Correspondence, the Committees of Safety of the revolution, and the Klu Klux Klan. Each aimed at inciting violence, hatred, and action. Who is moved to embrace his neighbor, to call him friend, and act with him to improve one's own homeland? How many more, rather, are moved to rise up and capture a villain who has committed the utmost evil, and who is loose among us? The positive impulse is buried by more immediate concerns; but the sense of being endangered makes of it an immediate concern.

It is important that the implications of a society driven by fear be understood, because the cause of much of the social dissolution evident in the modern Western civilization can be directly attributable to the terror-based dynamics of revolutionary republics. Fear undermines rationality, and rationality is the foundation of the law, in the process of comprehending social justice. The use of fear to drive masses has a counter-productive effect because it causes the human community to display cannibalistic tendencies. Individuals under the threat of punitive action will sacrifice other human beings, rather than undergo pain or deprivation; they will turn their back on those who have been the most loyal to them, if it means avoiding any kind of inconvenience or discomfort. This speaks directly to the whole police and prison state of the politicians, for the principles of a police state are based on the original assumption that the human race is inherently bad, and that the only thing that prevents ordinary and average people from violating the law is the threat of punishment. Under pressure from institutions that are suspicious of the integrity of their souls, the human population becomes dysfunctional on a collective basis.

Given the historic fact that republics operating under the English legal system are pre- disposed to becoming military dictatorships, starting with Oliver Cromwell and the Commonwealth/Protectorate, the constitutional monarchy is the only time-tested form for a civilian government. A neutral, non-partisan royal family as a permanent center-piece of the government elevates the state, giving it a focal point for the goodwill of the community. The royal family embodies the permanent celebrating of the decency of the nation, in a way that embraces the diversity of human family life. Republican politics, on the other hand, are always contaminated by influence peddling, and the crass and venal business of the state. The machinations of republics represent the naked abandon of the public interest to the vagaries of the cartels, to whom the resources of the nation are nothing more than a treasure chest awaiting their perusal. From the loftiness of a living saint acting as the head of the royalist nation, the republics make justice into another franchise that can be peddled for a price in the market.

When asked how long Native American Indians have honored chieftainship, the Indians have responded "since the beginning of time." The law is the law no matter that armies win wars, and powerful minorities are able to redefine legitimacy using strategies of intimidation, murder and theft. Thus even though American independence was secured, it did not make the republic set up by the Founding Fathers legitimate. They were no more entitled to change the law, to set up a republic that favored them, than we are today, for as we are taught in school, no one is allowed to pick and choose what laws he shall obey. This is why the Restoration now in progress is relevant, because even without the power and the glory of the state, only the Regent of the United States bears the authority of the law as it exists in nature, and as it has existed in the Anglo-American civilization for over a thousand years.
