LAST DITCH OF DEMOCRACY - Majority Rights

is almost impossible to get anyone to think consecutively or to hold
observed facts in mind over a period of years long enough to get them to
understand the various details. Straws in the wind they are called.
Now, years ago in a railway train, I talked to some technical robots being
shipped into Russia. Russia wanted technicians, and got them. People
who wanted a job, who could get lost in a job, people who had no
general ideas, no aspiration about making money and no sense of civic
responsibility. After all, the sense of civic responsibility is not born in
slums or under the starvation lines. Nor is it born anywhere in the
middle reaches of the population whose main anxiety from cradle to
grave is to get a job and keep it.
Of such is the kingdom of sheep destined to be shorn and led to the
slaughter. Technical kids. Religions, the opium of the people, said Lenin.
The late William B. Yeats countered that by saying, “Science, opium of
the suburb.”
Now, watch the birdy, deane, watch the B.B.C. and the pluto-propaganda
transmission after transmission about the details of a job. Civil or even
military. But not a word as to why the job is being performed at all. That
is one line of hokum to watch, watch it, and also watch the attempt to
revive the League of Nations.
Up to now I had thought Wallace an honest man, easily misled by kikes
and shysters, but with decent intentions. But one must now face an
alternative. Given, I mean, the mass of documentation as to the object,
worthlessness and dishonesty of the League as you see, for example, by
the reports of the International Labor Office—a man must be either
utterly and absolutely irresponsible or else a crook to try to revive any
such swindle. And the documentation is there, and no man in a
responsible public office, even if he is only a vice president, is excusable
for not facing the available evidence.
