156. Competition

I can not blame competition on MIC. Competition is so natural for earth that it is certainly not MIC that creates it. It is a combination of competition, individual isolation and gullibility that allows criminals to constantly hijack the control that makes MIC possilbe.

But once in control, MIC does everything to sustain the control and this is done in ways that go against interests of humanity.

In area of competition MIC disbalances it to make it unhealthy. In Soviet Union, the culture was full of lies and absurdities. Instead of solving the problems, it proclaimed them non-existent. Since all mass information was under complete control of MIC, it could do that, to bend the truth as much as they wished. The reasons songs were so powerful was that singers were not under complete control of MIC. Russian literature and songs learned the art of conveying the message without actually saying it. When you hear Western military speaking or read their communications, it is the same art. They deliver messages in such a cryptic way that only people trained in proper way can decipher the meaning. It is very much like holography. To reconstruct a holographic image, one to have shine the holographic recording with proper color of light. Or it is like a radio. To decipher the transmission, one has to tune in to a receiving carrier wavelength. Similar effect happens in literature and visual arts. In many (but not all) pieces of art, the messages are hidden in plain sight. Only people who are in tune with these pieces of art are capable of "getting it". Such is poetry of Mandelstam, Pasternak and T.S. Eliot. Interestingly, Bashar experiments with poetry. His monologues and impromptu analogies are very poetic. Bashar's poetry on other hand, is nice but unusual in its unsophistication. It reminds me computer-generated poetry: it follows some of the rules, and is naive in taking joy in playing words. It is similar to children's poetry in the joy of playing words in simple ways, but has also vocabulary and topics of a highly intellectual adult. So it is quite appropriate for a Sassani playing with Earth language and Earth humor. In fact, it is one of the best proofs that Bashar is indeed an extraterrestrial.
