Hi, Askel5 - good to see you here again. Glad you like my moniker. You're one of the few to appreciate the fact that I adopted it in the tongue-in-cheek spirit of Ambrose Bierce's definition. I do miss the level of discourse that we once enjoyed here. Some of us really got the import and the implications of the destructive Gramscian meme, but as time went on, it seemed to me that there was a larger game afoot. Not one buried in the fever swamps of conspiricists imaginations, but one that seemed to point to something that had its foundation in the darker side of human nature. Thus, my first take on what that might be. As a first approximation, this little essay, " Killers Without Conscience - 2010 got a lot of the fundamentals right. The entire thread contains some worthy discussion of the sort we used to enjoy here. The ideas found in that one are further developed here: Don't Converge the Streams

Your observations and opinions would be highly valued.

Regards - Ward
