Contemporary Crime And Cyberpunk And Brigado Rosso Or Nero

Italy has a long history of organised crime: The Mafia. The Mafia that helped the sccessful landing in Sicily and once was a poor mens' resistance group against feudalism. The Mafia that distributes that white powder for the rich filthy. The Mafia was always several different organizations reflecting the old competition and disputes between the major Italian Towns dating back to the Mid Ages.

Just Rome hasn't got a Mafia. Like Bogota and for the same reasons. It is the capital of the civilized Republik. For the Mafiosi, the other Mafia, so.

No other system or organization is as close as it gets to that dark future known as Cyberpunk, no other renegades or gangster run that deep in the shadows of society than todays N'drangheta. 

These Calabrians appear to be different than the e.g. Cosa Nostra that helped U.S. forces land and liberate Italy from Mossulines fashism. The Cosa Nostra fought using terrorist methods against the Italian authorities in the 80ies pretty much as IRA or UDP in Ireland and is quite off the news today.

The Calabrians got strong during the Mid 70ies a time of civil unrest in Italy when Brigado Rossos and Brigado Neros, Socialists and Fashists fought over the course of the Italian nation just a decade later than the Irish struggle. 

Today's news on Mafia activity is dominated by the activities of the Calabrians that took Milano and are in an active assassination war with the Camorra of Naples and therefore lead as the first into of what I see as the 4th world war, in Europe. 

Wars like in Syria or Afghanistan in which two super powers battle on others soil will be soon part of history, I guess and instead Mexican Kartell style conflicts will hit the forces of our developed first world in a Small Arms African War manner that will become dominant in warfare soon.

In the 70ies it was all about politics and I assume that the early bosses of Calabrian origin clearly had a site they fought for as much as IRA and UDP had an organised crime wing to support their gunshops and bomb making facilities along with intelligence and reconnaissance activities. 

Cocain made that way more fuzzy. Cocain does not know politics - it uses politics. Pablo Escobar was a socialist that threw Dollar bank notes he had no use for straight at the poor farmers while the most dominant Mexican Kartell calls itself the Templers and keeps burning down everything it strides through just as those Crusaders that were in for profit instead securing free pessage of the faithful as poor knights owning personally no more than armor, weapon and horse while their order adopted the Arabic numbers we use today, set base for our modern banking system and gained a religious mystical understanding of this world which is most unfortunately today lost again. Those other bad and greedy knights already shadow running in the midages managed to have the entire Templer order forbidden and stripped the catholic church of armed knight monks for ever today they already cracked Mexico into being a Narco Nation.

Instead of fighting for a political agenda as in WW2 and in WW3's indirect wars, it is now all about the Cocain High and MTV gangsta rap video clip fast cash; it's Fast Life taking over more and more. The Mafia members became younger and their lifes shorter since the 80ies. Those that rise and survive in that powerful and contemporary dysantrop society, that is way off the origins of those Mafia organizations that created the myth glorified in the "God Father", have potential to turn themselves into creators of an Al-Qaeda or ISIS of Organised Crime ruling the shadows of society in a near and dark and ugly real future.

There is no OC boss version of Osama Bin Laden or Kahlid Sheikh Mohammed around as of today who try to create and profit from a falling chaotic society in constant fear under arms and mass surveillance, but also no Pablo Escobar or El Capone sharing with the poor by supporting the parties of the rich and filthy instead of exploiting both poor and party heads. Two styles of criminals - yet so different. Like Yin and Yang of the shadows of society. These styles reflect into all of society and take their influence from night life to office space and beyond right into warfare.

Tragically, we are closer to the dark future utopias of Cyperpunk's anarcho capitalism than the old tales of glorious renaissance resistance groups fighting feudalism like the mystified storyteller figures of Zorro or Robin Hood, I was all in as a little child. A proud "All for one and one for all" full of pathos over a rhetoric "dogs, do you wanna live for ever" facing commando to leave the trench into an open battle field death guaranteed - anytime. Be aware: I did not change, I did not grew up...I just do strange electronic music and have way too much imagination for my own good.

And so ... some already live that dark futur, now, every day.

MEMES - Who would want a Dark Future?

Briefly: Noone.

This being said, we have subjects in society that activly push towards a Cyberpunk like society. As a matter of fact we have parts of these Dark Future utopias in place already. Profit over people is a strategy that promisses success using mistakes, inperfections and errors in our global market system instead of fixing them. Betting against the common wealth can create short term profit for a few instead of investing in longterm stable prosperity sharing returns. Exploding instead of investing can create a hard to resist return of investment if the greedy outsmarted the goodhearted and those responsible for your cotract, salery, vacation and other benefits are behind a door that sais HR as in human resource instead of human good or human capital.

Yet, most that advertise dark future strategies and activly recruit willing stupids to execute inhumane and antisocial tactics within an office of just a corporate enterprise or in an extreme, on a civil war battle ground, but most certainly in the dark markets of organised crime, consider the journey to be the destination.

That's because those exploited resources will be able to counter exploitation in that dark future dysantrop society destination eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth without fear of any other authority, such as a legal juridical system or comperable achievement of modern society when going for revenge, when retaliating in and with darkness. The bad guys are right after them already anyway. Them: junkies, prostitutes, poor, artists, light fainted, helpless and those fearing for their loved once.

All loopholes that those dreaming of a dark future are using today will be no loopholes anymore, but the new normal.

Then, junkies are Zombies and someone else has also gear, prostitutes are self-organized amazones that  have enough cash to hire or buy guns themselves, poor kill to steel, artists create only to master the arts of combat to turn killers like ancient knigths or samurai, light fainted can as well pass out after pulling a shotgun trigger over and over again, helpless will suicide bomb their way into a better other side and no one loves anymore except those new knight monks that do not love anyone next to them, but love to kill without having any loved once so none can have legacy against them.

In contemporary pop colture gagnsta rap is advertising another step towards a dysantrop society considering today's meixcan standards of law enforcement attractive, based on the misconception that gangs will rule a dark future society... I instead predict that instead them those on the bloody path of god will:

Templers, Jedis, Renegades, Paras, Cyberpunks? Just which name they will be known by is fuzzy, while them loving to kill bad for good is for sure.

This track got most shazaams and I keep wondering who is playing it. Keep enjoying.

Harmonica D-Moll

 New Teaser

I found Dark Country and and got a Harmonica.

Eristic Dialectic and the beginning of a Dark Future

Arthur Schopenhauer put out in 1830 an essay titled the art of being right and set seed of all anti-social dark future utopias and tragically also realities from back than on.

Basically, he describes and gives a rule book on how to kill someone arguing based on logic and honorable good will, by all means, legal or forbidden, honorable or just mean.

That way of never backing down or just pretending to retreat, instead regrouping behind a trap, of not accepting defeat but preparing for another hit just with different weapons and tactics, of winning no matter how or never loosing, but learning a lession only in a verbal arguement was turned just a hundred years later by military warfare and civil surpression into history today known as total war and nazi fashism, of an order is an order and Ausschwitz.

They lost without leaving anyone being victorious. Nothing and no place on earth got back to before and Second World War reshaped mankind like no other conflict ever.

The idea and strategy to get what desired by any means no matter what is still around as a widely accepted way. Even the CIA supposed to protect the free world, proudly mentions its "clandestine" and "disguise" departments turning commando operations into killing squad operations and betrayale into standard procedures, instead of being ashamed.

The dark future sci-fi genre is a warning anti-human utopia of what the contemporary could turn into and a blue print for others.

When listening to other Cyberpunk musicians I feel that I have not found another musician that shares my style. All appear to be pretty much stuck in a rather narrow band of rythm, melody and drum use.

I wonder if they see that dark future utopia as a desirable place to be, creating music as that soundtrack, yet not understanding that the Punk in Cyberpunk is a rebell, that a Punk is opposing the establishement which are in the dark future utopia nations and corporations using Shopenhauers basic ideas as first choice against everyone, leaving only the shadows up for those that choose to be different. A world of constant disguise and clandestine opperations by small squads to reach any economical goal or gain power. 

May my tunes be rocking the resistance forces in that parallel universe of cyperbunk shadowrunners sticking together already.

Michael or Luzifer's path Gabriel will tell you, preacher son!

Both pills taken

And Morpheus sais: 

"This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes."

Either Neo believes what he wants to believe and believe is creating the world you are within or Morpheus shows him the depth of the rabbit hole, the one he steped in already.

Either Neo creates his own world or explores Morpheus world more.

I'll took both in the Astral-World, repeating Dream-World, self created Cyberpunk-World after thinking which to choose for many years in the Real World day dreaming.

That's because I want to know about Morpheus world and being able to form me my world, too.

Where I grew up you don't trust anyone as soon as woken up realizing that NATOs spearhead force is on the mountain top and most likely all of any security services in the vally. If I met a Morpheus, there was no way I trusted him stating who he was up for what when....

Take em both and make friends with your monkey mind, truste me... ... ...LOL!

scizo is an attitude, mate

A Cyberpunk Dark Lord

That ConMan in that so fascinating dark future Cyberpunk world, which has a mirrored him in the Real World, having both no moral stopping points from hiring mercanaries to run a diamond mine, ensuring drug transport routes reliability or just selling more cheap, crapy ammunition and AK copies into troubled areas of this world might one day become a Dark Lord. A Darth Vader of Cyperpunk, a society of dominating shadows.

A dark lord is running a feudalistic system being quite on the top of the food chain. 

Feudalistic from Feudalism. That word is interesting. I had Latin classes and sucked pretty bad, while the language itself fascinated me. While I was utterly bad in translating school texts, readig the septingua, the latin script of the Bible, was so fascinating that I was considering learning also old Hebrew and Arabic, but a day only has 24h and I sleep a lot.

Also, the teacher did not like any dicsussion of Latin - German wordlists. 

So, if you are a teacher within the German school system or alike, especially on Latin, be worned strong content is following and we recommend to stop reading. Me, myself and I, like all of me do recommend strongly.....Anyway, have a laugh:

Latin was the basis of communicaton of the Roman empire, a state build on slavery and surpressing other people by conquering with force which took in its early days old antik greek as its base.

Feudalism derives from feudum which google today translated as fee. Checking german sources feudum is translated into "Lehn" which describes not a fee or tax but lented soil. Both appear to point at the same root, because you lent and give a fee to keep the property given into your ownership.

So, I thouhgt lets keep rocking that google translate tool and go crazy, like the world of Cyberpunk.

lent = commodarent

borrow = horum mutuo postulaverit

Latin was spoken for a few thousend years way beyond the roman empire and so the language developed. I guess, I just did not feel comfortable with the turns the German scholars took in the last few decades before I hit school and I love abstracting, the teacher don't. I like to put things on a meta level, like having a creative step back, teacher like to stick to the copy and creativity is for the fine arts class, only.

Metaleveling borrow:

Borrow is me giving something away for a period of time (=definition). 

horum mutuo postulaverit is to borrow in latin according to google translate (=definition).

Horum is the hour and on a metalevel a certain time period (=going crazy).

Mutuo might have turned into mutual and therefore on a metalevel stands for two or more persons or groups agreeing, especially in that context.

Postulaverit = I like this one, because my teachers will freak out. Post is past, but like the postal service carrying and going after you until you have it ;-). Laverit might have turned into laverage, which is in its very root meaning responsibiltiy on a metalavel. That mercanary will not use something against you as levarage that you have no responsibilty of, right? And that u? You have to pronounce that somehow, so a vowel, which in even older hebrew is not even written, will do. 

So putting that abstract metalevel thought together, it means I will be after you for the time you have responsibilty on what we agreed onto to keep. :-)

If you can't put that all together you must be one of those teachers I warned to better stop reading, before. Keep hitting those Corona parties...

Metaleveling lent:

Lent is me getting something for a time being. 

Commodarent = Sweet one for crazy people. Comanding and dare hits me. Como is "how" in Italian and if you think of com' o(n) you might read this beyond sober. But back to propa crazy: Basically, on a metalevel this word could mean to dare to take command on something of which how its treated matters. I admit that this is a wild one and that's why I like it.

Feudum so, does not hit any of that even close.

Therefore, I checked old german and was disappinted, but in old english I found this:

feond, noun, m., enemy
feor, adj., far
feorh, noun, n., life
and
dæg, m., day

dæd, noun, f., deed

And to crazy me that makes sense. In a feudalistic society your life might belog to someone that is not your friend in a part of society far away all day long in deed. I wonder if the latin word feudum derives from the Roman occupied english terretories from natives enslaved by the roman conquerors.

In allmost all dark future worlds described in books and games mega-enterprises in the sunlight creating the shadows those stories are all about and are dominating a bipolar society, a society reduced down to only two poles depending on each other, destructing each other further towards either ressurection of humanity or collaps into an apocalyptical Mad Max waste land like in an sociopathic end of mankinds' societies.

To me the Roman Empire is the blue print of a possible dysantrop society of which we already have to many tiny parts in action spread out all over the world and even alive in our western societies. We are far off a feudalistic system here, yet live in a faster and faster moving society. We need movement. We cannot stop movement and all those declaring movement of goods, persons or thoughts like mine, ill and bad will create a dysantrop society more alike dark future sci-fi worlds than the Roman Empire or the dark midages european feudalisim, but as anti-social, as abusive and, inch allah, facing even more resistance than those roman troops in our barbarian wood lands or the saharian desert dry lands.

Jont the Resistance and may the force be with you, Cyberpunk!
