“As Mark Lombardi would discover to his eternal disillusionment, Pope Paul VI not only worked the Nazi ratlines while managing the Vatican’s intelligence operations but directly assisted in installing highly placed Mafiosi in key political positions to extend US influence in Italy.

“When a cycle of civilisation is reaching its end, it is difficult to achieve anything by resisting it and by directly opposing the forces in motion.

For those epi-predators who work with the signifiers themselves rather than the things they supposedly signify, language is not a medium that helps us see the true, the real, the natural. Language is a tool assembled by creatures with “no way” trying to make a world that will satisfy their needs; it is a tool those same creatures can disassemble if it fails them.”
