Possessed by Lenin

Possessed by Lenin

So, she tells me she just returned from an Orthodox monastery in Ukraine where she and her sister looked for some kind of help with a lil' problem.Nothing major, nothing out of the ordinary, just her sister is possessed by V.I. Lenins spirit.Maybe it is a job related injury---she is a medium.Things like this happen to mediums. Lenin is not a good spirit to be possessed by. Let me diminish his smarts: He was not intelligient, reading, university doesnt make one smart, on the contrary, its an expensive conformity. I know of nary a plumber , logger or farmer who have started wars.No, its always, the college educated. Germany, prior to Hitlers rise to power, although mired in penury and inflation, occassional bouts of cannibalism, rampant prostitution to make ends meet, suicide en masse etc..., Germany had one of the most educated populations in Europe and the world.Yet, Bach,Beethoven, Goethe and Rilke and Franz Kafka , Kant and Schopenhauer meant as much as one of Adolphs butt cheeks. Their education meant nada.Some of the most astute, sagacious people I have met were uneducated at university.Nietzche was right: we do need to destroy all the books, all the profs, all the schools and start over.Decorum, protocol are offal from the educated. I'm all for civility but not for the sake of human lives.Being civil in the face of gross inhumanity is akin to co-authoring said inhumanity, right?Right. Example:Sudan.All the so called pacifists make excuses to not get involved.Governments make hollow declarations, threats defanged.The U.N. is all smoke and mirrors and handshakes and kowtowing to fascist Islamic heads of state.Bottom line. And, still people die.As they have since '83, '99, fill in the blank, maybe nobody really wants to get involved to save Negroes.Look at Rwanda.South Africa was able to exist for decades.Whats needed is a goddamned united front against bullshit.Someone needs to get possessed by Churchhill and whip some Muslim ass.Invade Sudan right now.The worlds leaders need an exorcism. Seems as though theyve been possessed by the spirit of the middle class, the "safe" caste, the cadre of "dont' upset people, don't get involved"
A shame. Goddamn, let the spirits of Crazy Horse, Michael Collins and Richard-the-lion-hearted possess me!!!Pizdets.I'd bomb Khartoum in nanoseconds.And Paris, for shits and giggles.
Back to the Ukraine: So, she and her sister were blessed by Orthodox monks after a rough nights sleep on concrete with dish cloths for blankets.And Lenin. Apparently, he is rude. He just interrupts.No hour is safe, no place is holy. I asked if the voice showed any sign of feebleness, retardation,illnesss. "Oh, Bozhoi moi, God no, very bright and quick", she said. Strange. Because a year before he croaked, Lenin had suffered a couple strokes and was rendered a second grader..a lil better than a mo-mo, a tard..Which would make her sisters possession more strange.I'm wondering how did Vlad get better. And, why this middle aged woman from Russia?Why not talk to a peasant?Zuganov?A hedgehog?a Berkely hippy with a stuttering problem who carries a rotten leek for good luck?
Baffling. No exorcisms occurred there in the monastery. The women left and paid for their visit in a most proletarian manner: with a Visa.
