If War Should Come...


We live in a nightmare of falsehoods, and there are few who

are sufficiently awake and aware to see things as they are.


Our first duty is to clear away illusions and recover a sense

of reality. If war should come, it will do so on account of our

delusions, for which our hag-ridden conscience attempts

to find moral excuses.


To recover a sense of reality is to recover the truth

about ourselves and the world in which we live, and thereby

to gain the power of keeping this world from flying asunder.

WE'RE DONE AND WE MIGHT AS WELL BE DEAD.
