Monotheistic Absurdity, Oedipal basis of anti-Semitism

Psychosemiotic Absurdity
Oedipal Psychohistory



DOUBLE S* (w/ reversals) <=> Text-Token Squares
in Israel Bomb Iran grammar

Why Israel's declaring Iran's nuclear program
an Existential Threat is an Existential Threat to America


Reason #1.

Theological: The Existential threat said to harm Israel is to the idea of Zionism, and the power of nuclear arms. To acquiescence in effect replaces The Trinity, America's God, by a hypothesized (Old Testament)"monotheism": an absurd S* construct, when used as "Belief in One God". Psychohistorical origin: Marduk, "God of Gods"; sacred number "50". Inhabitants of pre-Biblical Sumer, circa 2000 B.C. communicating in Babylonian mythopoesis "believed in Marduk". Their creation story,The Enuma Elish, beginning "When On High.." recounted Marduk's victory over Klingsor, champion of Sea Mother Tiamat, in whose belly the children of humanity were living. The God of All Gods was a hero to the fetuses -- but outside them.

Squared: it's not just that an absurd construct is substituted for the New Testament Trinity, but that it is substituted for that reason -- because it is absurd. This requires a side-note to explain.


The strict logical non-sense of certain constructs Russell called "illegitimate totalities", signs used as names or predicates improperly allowing unrestricted predication over predicates, themselves (even as "God of all Gods"), had already been established by the 20th century. Logical positivism, the dominant philosophy of science, used the new tool of symbolic logic to define and reconstruct mathematical truth, and, at the same time, purge discourse intended for strict verifiable fact from non-sensical corruption. The global intersubjective language of scientific theory, with mathematics, can be posited as a self-consistent scheme of sign-uses, under formally reconstructed syntax, provides the conception of apriori unity of knowledge. For mathematics, and its logical syntactic reconstruction, can hardly be said to be arbitrary, accidental, or disposable from the framework of communicated experience, from which human knowledge arises, and to which it must finally refer. Logical syntax is the formal externalization of consciousness in TokenSpace. It is the logical grammar of the grammar of reality as logical. (The question "Is the real rational?" is dismissed as nonsense, though grammatical by ordinary rules .)


This is the metaphysical foundation of strict scientific knowledge. It includes the "mathematics is the language of science" meme.


From this can be seen the critical twistedness in substituting set theory as basis of mathematics, vrs. propositional logic. In the theory of sets, generally credited to Georg Cantor, a totality corresponding to the unity of knowledge through consciousness is "absolute infinity", a concept subsuming all infinities, but self-contradictory. "Absolute" psychosemiotically preempts, or forecloses, rational consideration -- against itself. ("Can there be an absolute absolute? -- as opposed to merely an absolute?" -- is senseless, but could start a thread of 'inquiry'.) When Bertrand Russell confronted Cantor with the logical type contradiction in his formulations, it was simply dismissed. The drive to forclose rationality under the 'YHWH' -god token of Judaism trumped interest in rational consistency. His unflinching declaration sets the frame for predicating on the absurd because it is absurd.

This is the (non-) Idea Token-matched with America's Trinitarian God by Zionists. At the apriori transcendental level, the double absurd* (absurdity of totalizing the absurd) stands alongside the incarnation, which was in point of fact, based on crucifixion of human absurdity; and which was followed psycho-historically, after His Ascent into Heaven, by Outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentacost. The Trinity is a psychohistorical psychosemiotic soul- fact.



THERE IS NO, NOR CAN THERE BE, OFFICIAL "WE" USE BY AMERICAN CITIZENS AND ZIONISTS. THEY ARE THEOLOGICALLY INCOMPATIBLE. THE GOD OF AMERICA'S ORIGIN IS THE CHRISTIAN TRINITY. IT IS LOGICALLY, EXISTENTIALLY, MORALLY, SEXUALLY, SPIRITUALLY, VITALLY (bloodwise)
SUPERIOR TO THE ABSURDIST'S 'MONISM'.

THIS SQUARES WITH C. HITCHINS' ON THE IMPETUS OF ANTI-SEMITISM

-Atlantic, same issue. 1. "The chief impetus of anti-Semitism remains (*) theocratic ...."

Given, as he has already noted, "that anti-Semitism is protean and contradictory, but then, so are Judaism and Zionism ("Who is a Jew, anyway? ..Does the state of Israel have the right to speak for all diaspora Jews?"), what he calls "theocratic" is the only common polarity "anti-Semitism" could have. If both ends of an imaginary line were spinning, the opposite ends of the line can connect only through their center, which in this case is the token "God". The dominant end spinning, is the "anti-". "Semitic" notoriously includes both "Jew" and "Arab" DNA. But these have now become mortal enemies. Therefore, use of "anti-Semitic" as synonymous with "hatred of Jews", requires not only going through mental contortions to align with its perlocutionary force (=> first, bundling these opposites through ethnic identity; second, splitting them by tacit re-application to today's context; third, bringing harsh "No! No!" judgment against the Jewish Semites as if to reverse the Holocaust; and finally responding with reaction of hatred toward Nazi persecution of Jews. The automatic, mechanical reversal,

The polarity is the difference between monotheism vs. the Trinity in textualizing "God". This is the common cosmic token, freely translated into all languages around the globe, as the Idea, in English, backed by "Western Civilization", their own mentality aspires to approach.

The spinning ends of this "anti-Semitic) polarity are linked by the "God" token, with built-in reaction-formation tracing to ("Oedipal") Father-Son relations. The psychodynamic of Father-Son relations is the template for: Abraham (Father of Semites) => The Incarnation (Father self-sacrificed in His Son); Inception (=>extraction of Father's "disappointment" toward Son; replaced by loved-as-a-child feeling of Father-Approval. The Son can now be his own man, do the right thing, act with power. It has been stupendously difficult, requiring coordinated team effort to enter into, control, and alter his layered dream-states. Some (in the movie) doubted it could be done at all, leaving the subject's mind otherwise intact and untampered with. (But Cobb knew otherwise: "I've done it myself," presumably alluding to gaining self-forgiveness for causing his wife's suicidal delusion.) Change that one thing ....everything turns out well at the end. But penetration to the 3rd layer of the Unconscious is required to do it.

This is the ambient Group-fantasy context of Father-Son Netanyahu, as it is framed. "Ben-Zion Netanyahu -- his first name means "son-of-Zion"-- is the world's foremost historian of the Spanish Inquisition and a onetime secretary to Vladimir Jabotinsky, the founder of the intractable, "revisionist" branch ofZionism. He is father to a tragic Israeli hero, Yonaton Netanyahu, who died while freeing the Jewish hostages at Entebbe in l976; and also father to Benjamin, who strives for greatness in his father's eyes but has, on occasion, disappointed him...". Says Goldberg. "Always in the back of Bibi's mind is Ben-Zion," one of the prime minister's friends told me. "He worries that his father will think he is weak." "Many peopole in Likud Party circles have told me that those who discount Ben_Zion's influence on his son do so at their peril. "This was the father giving his son history's marching orders," one of the attendees told me. "I watched Bibi while his father spoke. He was completely absorbed.""

The sustained dream-thought here: the sense of history passed from this father to his son, is the history of the successful son not disappointing, but living up to, his Father dream.




-Adding these up => straight Freud: Goldberg's article is the announcement that the emotional decision has been made to bomb Iran for Israel's re-birth. "The Point of No Return" in the fetal drama is pre-emptively Squared. . Hitchin's observation that the 'impetus' of 'anti-Semitism' 'remains theocratic', Squares the "God"-token marking the line between Zionism/monotheism and Christianity/Trinitarianism. This line conjoins the opposite ends of the Father-Son complex whose 'impetus' (<= instinct; 'drive'; cathexis) is repression of the impulse to kill the Father, in order to (re-)possess the Mother (later cathected with libido => "M.. F.."-er ).

Through this labyrinth of sign-uses, it is brought about that opposition to Israel bombing Iran is tantamount to killing Father Israel himself. NO! NO!! NO! NO!!! The Point of No Return Squares Israel Bombing Iran; opposition to it Squares killing The Father.

2 Further Squares

1. lLnking God/G-d by linking US/Israeli soldiers drilling to fight Palestinians WSJ_ "U.S., Israel Build Military Cooperation" 8.14.2010 TZEELIM, Israel--While the U.S. and Israeli diplomatic relations weather their choppiest phase in years, behind the scenes, military commanders from the two countries have dramatically stepped up cooperation. ...The intensified parternership is part of the Obama administration's broader policy of boosting military support for American allies in the Mideast amid heightened tensions with Irean and its allies such as Hezbollah and Hamas, according to U.S. officials."

Soldiers in uniform are Unconscious tokens of childhood MARDUK fantasies.

2. The NY TIMES Squares "TIME". In INCEPTION, the passing of 'real time' virtually stops, as the action of all the dream levels is resolved in micro-seconds as the bus plunges into the water. In the NY Times' Week in Review, below the fold: "Western Clocks, but Middle Eastern Time". It is about how time crawls by in the Mid East while Americans are super-busy changing the dream-state dynamics.
