The Marquis de Sade: The Left’s Man of Diverse ‘Sexual Orientations’

Sunday, March 05, 2006

America is undergoing an extreme makeover and the wrecking crews are Leftists. They believe that everything about our civilization is an illusion—including our created condition as either man or woman. In other words, because they do not believe that God exists or the Bible is true, our civilization and condition are merely social constructs. To the wreckers we are but plastic figures that can be melted down and remolded. The wrecking crews conceal their insane ambitions behind deceptive code words such as diversity, multiculturalism, sensitivity, sexual orientation, safe schools, choice, and sex education.

America’s Left is comprised of two sorts of people: those willing to engage in evil and those who are willing to aid and abet it. In the words of David Horowitz: “Socialist economics, critical theory, and progressive loyalties have produced the worst atrocities, the most horrific suffering, the most crushing oppression, and the greatest misery in all human history. But not for a moment…since the fall of the Berlin Wall, has the Left begun to face its failure, or confront its deeds. It has simply moved to another trench in its permanent war against the West…it has degenerated from a Stalinist universalism to a neo-fascist tribalism, which is what multiculturalism is really about.” (Mussolini and Neo-Fascist Tribalism: Up From Multiculturalism Jan. 1998).

Identity politics is the bastard child of multiculturalism. In short, it’s the process by which politically empowered ‘tribes’ are created. Its working principal can be boiled down to “God is dead therefore we are at liberty to self-actualize as we please.” ‘Tribes,’ be they witches, vampires, goddesses, Islamic radicals, illegal aliens, or the ‘sexually oriented’ variety, are not just autonomous but off-limits to outside criticism. Each ‘tribe’ establishes a ‘cultural narrative’ and then defines the ‘rules of authenticity.” This is multiculturalism in a nutshell. Multicultural tribes are politically sacrosanct. They are weapons of mass destruction being wielded by the Left in its war against our traditional culture and infrastructure.

When we consider the Left’s great heroes are murderous barbarians such as Pol Pot, Kim Jung II, Fidel Castro, Lenin, Stalin, and Sadam Hussein it comes as no surprise that the foul pervert and murderer—the Marquis de Sade—is likewise one of the Left’s heroic icons. Sade, role model for the ‘sexual orientation’ tribes, is celebrated by the Left as a “heroic apostle of individual rights, a giant of philosophical thought, and a martyr for freedom of conscience.” (Sade, a Biographical Essay, by Lawrence Bongie, 2000)

In a 1951 essay, “Must We Burn Sade,” Simone de Beauvoir (heroine of the man-hating lesbian feminists) identifies Sade as a forerunner of Freud with an intuitive grasp of the nature of the human heart. Beauvoir, a sex-obsessed lesbian, wrote: “Not only does Sade…anticipate…the ‘pansexuality’ of Freud, but he also makes eroticism the mainspring of human behavior…He knew that the ‘perversions’ that are vulgarly regarded as moral monstrosities or psychological defects actually envelop…intentionality. In a passage in ‘La Nouvelle Justine’ he tries to explain coprophillia (sexual excitement over feces)…he points out that the truth of a thing lies not in what it is but in the meaning it has taken on for us in the course of our individual experience. Intuitions such as these allow us to hail Sade as a precursor of psychoanalysis” (www.crimelibrary.com).

In the dialectical jargon of Stalinist ‘identity politics,’ Sade was a man of diverse ‘sexual orientations” (tribal identities) which birthed his many ‘alternative lifestyle choices’ (authentic cultural narratives).

Douglas Lynott not only provides us with an idea of Sade’s sexual orientations, but also, especially within the last half, the depths of evil which motivate the Left: “Assisted by his wife, two other young adult women…and his valet, Sade assembled his captives daily for a mélange of activities: masturbation, fellatio, sodomy (both heterosexual and homosexual), sodomy chains, and…scourging. The very acts that cause…people of reason and morals to recoil in terror provided the Marquis with sensations of ecstasy: the physical and emotional domination of another and the violent destruction of youthful innocence. This ecstasy is portrayed by one of the protagonists of “Philosophy in the Boudoir,” who exclaims, “How delicious to corrupt, to stifle all semblances of virtue and religion in that young heart!” (ibid)

Sade revealed that inner ‘promptings’ are the source of his ‘sexual orientations’ when he wrote: “I wanted only to try to live in accord with the promptings which came from my true self. Was that so very difficult?” (ibid)

Another word for ‘prompting’ is ‘impulse.’ These can be of two kinds—good or bad. As free moral agents, we always have the choice to either act upon or to reject dark impulses. Sade obviously never developed the self-discipline necessary to reject them. Thus, he first became controlled by them, and then eventually was transformed by them into a foul creature whose name became synonymous with sadomasochism, which had thus become the source of his ‘true self.’

The Left’s operative scheme now comes into focus. First, they hold out temptations to seduce the unwary into acting upon dark impulses (self-actualization process). Then the actualized ‘dark impulses’ are deceptively cast as ‘sexual orientations.” In this manner they create ‘sexually oriented’ tribes which are then manipulated into destroying America’s culture while simultaneously allowing Leftists to gain access to our most vulnerable: children and young adults.

As revealed by David Horowitz in “The Politics of Bad Faith” (www.discoverthenetwork.org), Leftists plan to create a ‘queer utopia” populated by ‘queer genderless beings’: “Queer revolution is thus the ultimate subversive project: It proclaims not only the death of…God, but of Nature’s Law…theirs is the ultimate Nietzschean fantasy: a world in which humanity is God. The future will give birth to a new revolutionary people, no longer male and female, but queer. Queer is the Promethean category of the post-modernist Left.”

In a blatant endeavor to violate and destroy the innocence of youth and simultaneously enslave them to dark impulses, consider the following examples from our Leftist controlled academia:

Prof. Peter Singer of Princeton advocates bestiality: “Sex with animals does not always include cruelty…not everyone objects to being used by his or her dog…” Prof. Marjorie Garber of Harvard encourages “not just love of dogs, but love with dogs as well.” Prof. Susan Scotto of Mount Holyoke teaches a ‘stripping class” Prof. Harris Mirkin of the U. of Missouri encourages pedophilia: “Children are the last bastion of the old sexual morality” U. of Colorado Prof. Craig Palmer wrote the book, “A Natural History of Rape” which states that rape confers a selective advantage on men. (Source: ‘Whistleblower”: Brainwashing 101, vol. 14, no. 9)

Efforts at ‘violently destroying the innocence of youth,” this time of teens, is evidenced by the following examples:

1. “Time Magazine: School Event Exposes Massive Cultural Campaign to Promote Homosexuality to Kids” (Robert Knight and Benjamin Frichtl; Concerned Women for America) “A cocktail party in Manhattan with billionaire liquor magnate Edgar Bronfman, Sr., and Clinton political strategist David Mixner was held in May to raise money for the Point Foundation, a scholarship program to turn ‘gay’ kids into homosexual activists.

2. “Turning girls into boys” (Peter LaBarbera, WorldNetDaily.com, Feb. 2002) “A female-to-male transgender conference attended…by hundreds of young women including teenagers…was sponsored by the Human Rights Campaign…world’s leading homosexual organization…included a panel on “How to Do SM (sadomasochism)…a grotesque and disturbing pedophilic painting (was) prominently displayed (of) a baby boy lying naked on his back being sodomized by the nipple of a baby bottle.”

3. “The Little Black Book—Queer in the 21st Century”: this sadomasochistic book was distributed to hundreds of teens at Brook School, Brookline, MA, Apr. 30, 2005 at an event organized by the Gay and Straight Education Network (GSLEN). Among other activities kids were encouraged to explore was “pee play”: urinating on each other. This ‘Marquis de Sade’ style book can be viewed at: www.article8.org.

Listed below are examples of the Lefts success in unleashing the destructive forces of uninhibited sex while simultaneously transforming our nation into Sades ‘pleasure castle’:

“Express route to controversy in Atlanta—pedophile musical (Variety.com; Mark Blankenship, 12/19/05) “NYPD Black and Blue? NY Police Recruit at Sadistic Sex Festival (Peter LaBarbera; www.americansfortruth.com) “Sadistic sex practitioners defend...whipping…beating…hand-anal fisting…burning their bodies with hot wax…bondage…as ‘consensual.’ “Dance Sponsored by ‘Gay’ Millennium March Features Homosexual Orgy, Gruesome Sadism (ibid) “witnesses saw a sadistic stage scene in which a man was strapped to a large St. Andrews (x) cross—his head covered with a black hood—while another man stuck needles into his chest.” “US teacher sexpidemic spreading across planet: Long list of American rapists joined by female Australians” (Joe Kovacs, WorldNetDaily.com, 12/14/05)

Having successfully unleashed sexual anarchy upon America, Leftists now seek to have anyone who objects declared mentally insane: “Calif. Psychologist Wants ‘Extreme Bias’ Against Homosexuals Added to DSM” (Washington Post, Shankar Vedantam)

The two sorts of people…those willing to engage in evil and those willing to aid and abet it…. purposely uncapped the bottle holding the chaos-producing sex genie, arrogantly believing they could force it to do their bidding. As a result, rampant sex crimes and the foul stench of the Marquis de Sade’s perversions waft freely throughout our land, corrupting and befouling everything they touch.

The truths which the Left seek to obscure are twofold: We are meant for higher things and noble causes. We are not meant to behave like dogs in heat. We are men and women—not ‘sexual orientations,’ ‘goddesses,’ and ‘vampires.’ These things are the true ‘social constructions’---birthed by dark impulses, brought to life in the imagination---empowered and applauded by the infinity of darkness. To embrace them is to embrace the self-loathing idea that we are less than we are.

I respectfully disagree. Anyone who is a useful tool of the left can inform themselves and see the truth. I used to be a raving leftist. Raving. I changed; anyone can change. All they need is a desire to know what's real and what's true. No one is so stupid or ill informed that they can't change. Only the organically retarded have an excuse.

As they used to say, "If you aren't part of the solution, you're part of the problem."

I'll tell you why I have hope.

1. If the leftists win, there's still hope. Why? Because a society based on falsehood, no objective reality, false compassion placed wrongly (remember what the road to hell is paved with), aggressive atheism, hedonism, and rebellion against all morality based on universal religious principles (the only kind there is) is doomed to anarchy. People, without family structure (I mean REAL family) will become feral humans. Complete chaos will ensue. Then totalitarianism will occur to stem the mayhem, which will likely then allow human civilization again at some point.

2. I don't think it will get that far because (a) too many people haven't gone insane yet, and (b) at least in the US, many of those who haven't gone totally insane are armed.

There!

Where there's life, there's hope.

And if everyone who sees reality speaks up, and does whatever s/he can, there's hope.

Yup.

When I learned who funded this garbage and why, what their beliefs are and whence they came, it led to pretty serious depression. For the first time in over twenty years I prayed. It led me back to the Lord and our family has never been the same. :-)

To: little jeremiah
I worked as a bouncer at a bondage bar during college. Not my sort of thing, really, but it definitely wasn't the orgiastic madness that Ms. Kimball describes here. Frankly, what I took away from the experience was that people's "degenerate" sexual fetishes are surprisingly boring and fairly prevalent with a large cross-section of society. We didn't allow cameras in the club, partly because we wanted to maintain a certain mystique, but also because patrons and employees sometimes led double-lives. Doctors, lawyers, local politicians, businessmen, teachers, etc. all came in at one time or another.

Some people like to play with poop in bed, others will pay a dominatrix $500/hour to physically humiliate them, but everyone in that club and everyone in the scene was very very serious about consent and safety. De Sade might be known as the man who popularized the notion of sadomasochism, but very few people in the bondage scene would condone or seek to repeat his actions. No one that I ever met at the club would kidnap someone or do that sort of stuff with minors; everything was very safe, or at least in the more extreme cases, very consensual.

On a more personal note, I will say that a number of people at the club spent thousands of dollars on fetish gear when they would have been better served to spend a couple hours a day at the gym. *euch* I haven't seen that much white since the Halloween Blizzard of 1991.

First of all, your experience is anecdotal - one club, what you saw.

Her article uses data collected from many sources.

People have been known to suffer injuries and even death from rough sex. Just because you didn't personally witness it doesn't mean there isn't any "rough trade".

Second, even if perverted crap doesn't maim or kill, it's still degrading and dangerous, especially when promoted as just the same as marital relations between husband and wife.

I learned who funded this garbage and why, what their beliefs are and whence they came,...

Those of us, such as you and I, are familiar with the leftist utopia of Santa Cruz.

Being much enlightened, unlike most of the oblivious others in the Bermuda Triangle of Lost Sanity (S.F. Bay, Monterey Bay, San Jose), we actually witnessed the madness first hand and saw it for what it is.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

...it led to pretty serious depression.

That is the whole objective - - to emotionally subjugate the population through depression and despair...

The fantastic is, of course, most closely related to the imagination (Phantasien), but the imagination is related in it’s turn to feeling, understanding, and will, so that a person’s feelings, understanding and will may be fantastic. Fantasy is, in general the medium of infinitization...

The fantastic is generally speaking what carries a person into the infinite in such a way that it only leads him away from himself and thus prevents him from coming back to himself. (Kierkegaard, p 60-61)

Kierkegaard, Søren. The Sickness Unto Death. Trans. Alastair Hannay. New York : Penguin, 1989.

Part III. Of a Christian Commonwealth.
Chap. xxxviii. Of Eternal Life, Hell, Salvation, and Redemption.

[12] And first, for the tormentors, we have their nature and properties exactly and properly delivered by the names of the Enemy (or Satan), the Accuser (or Diabolus), the Destroyer (or Abaddon). Which significant names (Satan, Devil, Abaddon) set not forth to us any individual person, as proper names do, but only an office or quality,...

Part IV. Of the Kingdom of Darkness
Chap. xlv. Of Demonology and other Relics of the Religion of the Gentiles.

[10] Another relic of Gentilism is the worship of images,... it was the general religion of the Gentiles to worship for gods those appearances that remain in the brain from the impression of external bodies upon the organs of their senses, which are commonly called ideas, idols, phantasms, conceits, as being representations of those external bodies which cause them, and have nothing in them of reality, no more than there is in the things that seem to stand before us in a dream.

[14] An image, in the most strict signification of the word, is the resemblance of something visible: in which sense the fantastical forms, apparitions, or seemings of visible bodies to the sight, are only images; such as are the show of a man... these are the images which are originally and most properly called ideas and idols, and derived from the language of the Grecians, with whom the word eido signifieth to see. They are also called phantasms, which is in the same language, apparitions. And from these images it is that one of the faculties of man's nature is called the imagination...

[16] And whereas a man can fancy shapes he never saw, making up a figure out of the parts of divers creatures, as the poets make their centaurs, chimeras and other monsters never seen, so can he also give matter to those shapes, and make them in wood, clay or metal. And these are also called images, not for the resemblance of any corporeal thing, but for the resemblance of some phantastical inhabitants of the brain of the maker.

Part IV. Of the Kingdom of Darkness
Chap. xlvii. Of the Benefit that proceedeth from such Darkness

[1] ...For seeing Beelzebub is prince of phantasms, inhabitants of his dominion of air and darkness, the children of darkness, and these demons, phantasms, or spirits of illusion, signify allegorically the same thing. This considered, the kingdom of darkness, as it is set forth in these and other places of the Scripture, is nothing else but a confederacy of deceivers that, to obtain dominion over men in this present world, endeavour, by dark and erroneous doctrines, to extinguish in them the light, both of nature and of the gospel; and so to disprepare them for the kingdom of God to come.

Ah, the magical, mystical fairyland of Santa Cruz...

New Age induces a benevolent relaxation that may be disabling in the face of aggression. In a world of terrorism, New Agers can only take to the hills and leave their scriptures in jars at Esalen.

...Incestuous self-insemination: the grappling duo is a new Khepera, the masturbatory Egyptian cosmos-maker. Actors and audience are a sexual octopus of many legs and eyes.

The contest between male Spectre and female Emanation is archaic ritual combat. I find homosexual overtones in the betrayal of the self into a queasy spectral world ruled by dark, deceiving male figures. Note the elegance with which Blake’s Spectre theory fits Shakespeare’s Othello. A conspiratorial Spectre, Iago, is homoerotically obsessed with splitting Othello, through jealous fears, from his Emanation, Desdemona. (Jealousy and fear are the Spectres’ regular weapons.) Othello, cleaving to his Spectre instead of casting him off, destroys himself. He ends by not killing his Spectre but his Emanation. (Paglia, p. 287-289)

No, they just worship them like a savage would worship an idol... repeating them in ritual behavior...

little jeremiah: America’s Left is comprised of two sorts of people: those willing to engage in evil and those who are willing to aid and abet it.

RBroadfoot: The second sort is an entirely clueless group.

You are both partially correct... the second group are willing to aid and abet their own cluelessness... with a state of oblivious Nirvana; i.e., idleness and superflous living... television sit-coms, spectator sports (so perverse in their fantasies, they even wear their ballcaps backward), movies, drugs, perversion - - they are contented with the phantasmal surreality created for them...

Observe when in public places, at your workplace or in other community activities (i.e., restaurants, retail stores, gas stations, etc.) the pervasive presence of some exposure to music or television. This is because many people are actually terrified of being alone with their own thoughts or at the prospect of it (neuro-linguistic programming).

Try an experiment, turn radios off at work, request as a customer patronizing private businesses that music or television is unplugged so you can have some personal tranquility with your family, friends, associates, etc. You will find a great resistance, even hostility to such a request. Ask yourself why, then consider what thoughts such people have they are so afraid of, if they are capable of or desire to have any of their own. THEY DO NOT!

De Sade is interesting, in that he shows what a depraved mind with little restraint can do. Gives the lie to anyone who believes man is basically good.

De Sade was a product of the Enlightenment who pushed things to an extreme. The world of his novels are populated by people who do unspeakable things because they are devoid of moral absolutes or laws. In some respects he is the forerunner of anarchism in that for him the individual outranks society and the state and the ideal state of human affairs would be a world in every one could do, in the absence of restraints save that peculiar to his own nature, as he pleased.
