The Swineherd

You asked about the Pigs, why they always show up

and the Reason for the Horror

for one thing, that's Terror

if others see a civilization clipping down limbs, turning civilized species back into base animals

and using them as pig toilets, food, pets, status symbols

(everything you use pigs for)

they will be Terrified of the civilization who did that to the poor creatures.

How else do you take an intelligent Creature who walks upright

and keep him captive with little long-term risk?

Turn him into a Pig.

You can see how it started

INSIDE ONE Atmosphere

with someone just like you

but more selfish and no Soul

coming up with Creative Solutions for ditching the planet he has destroyed

Time passes

Networks come to be

practices and abominations are proliferated

and here you are

knowing that you don't want anything to do with anything Pig.

It's a sign you've been conquered

defeated

and a symbol of the conquering civilization's Power and Dominance.

You know how you clip tails and ears?

Make sure you kill the Swineherd

or

die trying

with no consideration for any kind of option c

deal with the "devil" and you will get burned.

Did you think the "devil" brought you to some fancy and forbidden club underground?

It's a good bit worse than that.

This is part of a longer Story

there could be an issue with an other that you can't see, some resentment or hatred going back 1000s of years

that you're completely unaware of

All you know is that you've been warned repeatedly over the years

that there is an "evil one" who hates you

since you've been using your mirror as a lens to view the Universe

you wound up misinterpreting what was meant by "evil one" along the way

No, the Swineherd doesn't want to come do it himself

he makes YOU do it to your fellow man

that way YOU earn condemnation

that way YOU are his slave until you die

and you can dine on your degradation

knowing that the only creature lower than the Human you've reduced to Swine, a Worm

is you.

You worry about the "I-plan-to-live-forever" Club that you got going on

circles are afraid to die, they'll sell off their neighbors, friends and family to avoid death

being ruled by a circle

is being ruled by a slave

you have people with "live-forever-machines" making decisions for you?

dead senators signing your Bills?

Big business is selling your ass down the river

the ones standing out front are the ones most vulnerable to being manipulated by the Swineherd

all he has to do is play to their ego, offer them a VCR, some extra decades to watch it along with rationalizations which he'll gladly co-sign

so the newly recruited circle can feel like he/she

is "doing the right thing"

it's "the only rational thing to do"

sometimes the intelligent elite need to make judgement calls for the others right?

what does the Captain of the Ship go down with?

Not in your situation

in your situation

the Captains just bail

they sell your ass and set the Ship on Fire

then sail away in their Lifeboat with their new VCR

and 150+ extra years of Life to watch it

You let the Swineherd get you to kill off any more Marine Mammals

and you'll find out how much the Ocean Rules the Game

after Her

but IN LINE WITH HER.

I'm sure the Swineherd tells you it's a good thing to kill all the Whales and Dolphins

it's not

Orcas would just kill you, possibly with much pain,

but they wouldn't turn you into swine.

The Swineherd has you poison your allies and would-be allies first

he makes you a Judas

with only one slot left to fill.

God gives you chances

DON'T FORGET WHAT HAPPENS HERE

like a couple whose shoes you will eventually go on to Take

because they didn't learn on their last chance to learn

here you'll see Punishment, you'll see Chastisement, you'll see some people Destroyed

but when it's over, Humans will be wearing their crowns here

next time

that's it, no more crowns

that means 1000 years from now, don't go dig a whole to recreate dead words and numbers

to go find your "heavenly realm" of dead blocks

that's ALREADY being set up

there is ALREADY a circle setting up circle-style F ideologies ad Archetypes to turn it back around 1000-1200 years from now

that means the circle ALREADY knows this battle is lost

that's how complex this gets.

If that happens

you'll just be wide open again

with another Predator out there reeling you in

and another Predator playing off the other Predator's move

and on up

see the wages of sin in this Universe?

You can't kick the curtains open, play your music for the cosmos and write your Codes on the Mountainside

or someone will come along and you'll caught in a web all over again

only next time

you'll be asked to assist in the victimization of some less advanced civilization

a civilization in the situation you're in right now

and then there won't be any warning

other than "Death is on the Way"

a Message that will be slapped on your Spy glass

while you're spying

and when you see that happen

you'll know you're fucked

then the memory of this Age will reawaken in your Consciousness

all there is left to do then

is kiss it all good-bye.

Keep your Histories safe and uncorrupted this time

or that is EXACTLY what is going to happen to you

you're going to forget

everyone below a set stage does.

It doesn't matter if they've eaten stolen Apples or not.

She has spent more Time here than you imagine

you just don't usually know when She has a Physical Manifestation here

She's usually in the Ocean

She can be in the Oceans for 200 years

Active and Creating

without your knowledge.
