PART ONE:
“New adventures from ages past;
Some blank verses are built to last”
Flying high on Milton's words
Soars us toward a heav'nly place..
Not like in our home on earth,
Somewhere out in Outer Space.
Is it heaven? You decide,
You, who sit there at God's side.
Where's the angel most preferred?
Why’s he now reviled?
Satan should know that a man with the power of poetry can bring him to the end of his luck.
And he should know by Milton's stride and the look in his eye,
That he will be forced to give up!
Satan attack! Satan attack!
Watch your back before it fades to black! 3Xs
Milton might look as fragile as glass,
But he’ll kick your Satan ass!
Go Milton go!
Go Milton go!
Now go, now fly!
With your new Rocket, You
Own the sky!

Part 2
Nine December Sixteen-oh-eight
Eight November Seventy-four.
Milton served through Cromwell's reign,
Commonwealth, Protector, Lord.
Subjects missed a monarch’s throne.
Royalty restored!
He can serve you on your ride.
Whether you be lord or waif
Who’s to say God loves you most?
Or that love will keep us safe?
But you should know that this man with his power of poetry can bring you to your knees.
And you should know by Milton's stride and the look in his eyes
That he will be eager to please.
Milton is back! Milton is back!
Course his track to find the words you lack! (3Xs)
Go Milton go!
Go Milton go!
Now go, now fly,
With your new Rocket you own the sky
Mister Satan never hangs around
When he hears this Milton sound:
"Here I come to save the day!"
Mighty Milton's on his way.
Yes when there is a wrong to right
Mighty Milton joins the fight.
In the sky or on the land,
He has the conflict well in hand.
Now Milton's stronger than you know,
Will deal Old Scratch a mighty blow.
All his life he's been told
He'll be nothing when he's old
Hey now! He is young once more,
With all his wisdom well in store.
Oh, great Milton, Through storm and strife,
Fighting for Truth throughout your life,
You've been struggling to make things right,
A mighty man in a mighty fight.
That's how this great poet flies,
Opposing Satan’s greatest lies.

The	
  world	
  is	
  my	
  swamp,	
  my	
  Paradise!	
  I	
  grew	
  up	
  in	
  Afton	
  Minnesota	
  from	
  age	
  7	
  to	
  12.	
  	
  I	
  spent	
  most	
  
of	
  my	
  summers	
  in	
  the	
  swamp	
  in	
  back	
  of	
  our	
  house.	
  I	
  saw	
  the	
  spring	
  floods	
  swell	
  the	
  swamp.	
  The	
  
fish,	
  northern	
  pike,	
  gar	
  etc.	
  came	
  into	
  the	
  swamp	
  to	
  lay	
  eggs	
  in	
  the	
  weeds	
  where	
  they	
  hatched.	
  By	
  
summer	
  the	
  floods	
  receded	
  and	
  the	
  swamp	
  water	
  was	
  low,	
  but	
  natural	
  springs	
  fed	
  the	
  swamp	
  with	
  
ice-­‐cold	
  water	
  and	
  huge	
  carp	
  dwelled	
  in	
  the	
  swamp	
  in	
  large	
  schools.	
  In	
  the	
  mornings	
  you	
  could	
  
watch	
  as	
  their	
  red	
  dorsal	
  fins	
  stuck	
  out	
  of	
  the	
  water’s	
  surface	
  as	
  they	
  moved	
  around	
  the	
  shallow	
  
edge	
  where	
  they	
  put	
  their	
  snouts	
  into	
  the	
  murky	
  bottom	
  to	
  stir	
  up	
  crawfish	
  and	
  insects.	
  Summers	
  
were	
  my	
  joy.	
  I	
  would	
  jump	
  out	
  of	
  bed	
  with	
  my	
  toy	
  terrier	
  dog	
  Nipper	
  before	
  anyone	
  else	
  was	
  up.	
  I	
  
would	
  grab	
  a	
  breakfast	
  of	
  Frosted	
  Flakes	
  and	
  run	
  across	
  the	
  railroad	
  tracks	
  down	
  to	
  the	
  swamp.	
  
There	
  I	
  used	
  tin	
  cans	
  to	
  scoop	
  up	
  minnows	
  that	
  hid	
  in	
  the	
  recesses	
  of	
  the	
  swamps	
  edge.	
  Sometimes	
  
I	
  would	
  climb	
  the	
  ¢old	
  dead	
  trees	
  that	
  rose	
  up	
  in	
  the	
  swamp	
  and	
  get	
  the	
  baby	
  birds	
  that	
  were	
  
chirping	
  there.	
  They	
  would	
  open	
  their	
  mouths	
  wide	
  thinking	
  that	
  I	
  was	
  the	
  mother	
  bringing	
  them	
  
worms.	
  Or	
  I	
  would	
  go	
  try	
  to	
  capture	
  the	
  leatherback	
  turtles	
  with	
  their	
  long	
  narrow	
  snouts	
  and	
  evil	
  
looking	
  yellow	
  eyes	
  with	
  slit	
  pupils.	
  Sometimes	
  I	
  would	
  find	
  a	
  huge	
  snapping	
  turtle	
  with	
  a	
  beak	
  like	
  
a	
  hawk	
  and	
  haul	
  it	
  up	
  to	
  the	
  house.	
  Then	
  there	
  were	
  the	
  science	
  fiction	
  and	
  fantasy	
  comics.	
  My	
  
father	
  gave	
  me	
  $1	
  a	
  week	
  allowance	
  and	
  I	
  would	
  run	
  down	
  and	
  buy	
  ten	
  10¢	
  comics.	
  I	
  would	
  go	
  
home,	
  get	
  an	
  apple	
  to	
  eat	
  and	
  spend	
  the	
  afternoon	
  in	
  glory.	
  	
  
	
  
	
  
So	
  now	
  I	
  am	
  in	
  New	
  York	
  City,	
  humming	
  and	
  diverse	
  cultural	
  capital	
  of	
  the	
  world!	
  Another	
  swamp,	
  
but	
  filled	
  with	
  wonderful,	
  colorful	
  humans	
  of	
  every	
  stripe…blacks,	
  whites,	
  Jews,	
  Muslims,	
  Faith	
  
Healers,	
  Evangelists,	
  drug	
  dealers,	
  murderers,	
  real	
  estate	
  magnates,	
  philanthropists,	
  artists,	
  
actors…you	
  name	
  it.	
  This	
  is	
  a	
  great	
  city	
  for	
  an	
  artist…a	
  wonderful	
  swamp!	
  All	
  the	
  city	
  creatures	
  
using	
  and	
  sometime	
  swallowing	
  each	
  other	
  up	
  in	
  their	
  need	
  to	
  survive.	
  They	
  are	
  like	
  Milton	
  
scholars.	
  I	
  wrote	
  this	
  about	
  Milton	
  scholars:	
  
	
  
Milton	
  scholars	
  in	
  heaps	
  they	
  run!	
  
Some	
  to	
  undo,	
  others	
  to	
  be	
  undone!

Milton’s	
  England	
  of	
  the	
  17th	
  Century	
  was	
  volcanic.	
  New	
  forms	
  of	
  thought	
  and	
  action	
  thrust	
  
through	
  encrusted	
  dying	
  ideas.	
  Under	
  Cromwell	
  England	
  was	
  remade.	
  King	
  Charles	
  I,	
  who	
  felt	
  
anointed	
  by	
  God	
  was	
  executed	
  by	
  Parliament.	
  The	
  logic	
  of	
  the	
  accepted	
  ways	
  of	
  thinking,	
  the	
  
rights	
  of	
  kings,	
  was	
  thus	
  toppled.	
  The	
  British	
  Empire	
  gathered	
  laurels	
  and	
  wealth	
  across	
  the	
  
world	
  from	
  India	
  and	
  China	
  and	
  the	
  Americas	
  and	
  John	
  Milton	
  engaged	
  a	
  campaign	
  to	
  annex	
  
poetry	
  itself.	
  	
  They	
  put	
  the	
  past	
  to	
  the	
  flame.	
  	
  
The	
  light	
  and	
  the	
  dark,	
  God	
  and	
  Satan,	
  percolate	
  in	
  the	
  subconscious	
  and	
  in	
  their	
  excess	
  
ejaculate	
  irrational	
  desires	
  and	
  fears	
  -­‐	
  the	
  fountain	
  of	
  surrealism.	
  	
  The	
  Christian	
  Whites	
  had	
  
enslaved	
  the	
  black	
  race	
  and	
  sent	
  them	
  to	
  work	
  in	
  plantations	
  in	
  the	
  new	
  world.	
  Slavery	
  is	
  not	
  
new.	
  The	
  Pharos	
  enslaved	
  the	
  Jews.	
  The	
  Greeks	
  enslaved	
  the	
  Persians,	
  and	
  the	
  Romans	
  
enslaved	
  the	
  Greeks.	
  We	
  whites	
  not	
  longer	
  enslave	
  the	
  blacks,	
  but	
  black	
  people	
  still	
  feel	
  the	
  
bondage	
  and	
  oppression.	
  Blacks	
  are	
  still	
  struggling	
  to	
  be	
  accepted	
  and	
  equal.	
  Midway	
  through	
  
the	
  Civil	
  Rights	
  movement,	
  Dr.	
  Martin	
  Luther	
  King	
  Jr.	
  ...	
  But	
  I've	
  come	
  to	
  believe	
  we're	
  
integrating	
  into	
  a	
  burning	
  house.”.	
  	
  Bienvenido	
  Bones	
  Banez	
  said	
  in	
  his	
  recent	
  verses,	
  “build	
  
your	
  own	
  house	
  and	
  then	
  you	
  are	
  truly	
  free.”	
  I	
  agree	
  with	
  him!	
  	
  
Today	
  on	
  college	
  campuses	
  Social	
  justice	
  Warriors	
  fight	
  against	
  what	
  they	
  call	
  “institutional	
  
racism.”	
  For	
  many	
  SJW’s	
  all	
  whites	
  are	
  racist	
  and	
  cannot	
  be	
  otherwise.	
  So	
  the	
  fight	
  is	
  against	
  
white	
  people	
  or	
  whiteness	
  itself	
  not	
  just	
  an	
  unequal	
  system	
  of	
  justice.	
  That	
  belief	
  or	
  attitude	
  can	
  
only	
  lead	
  to	
  racial	
  conflict	
  and	
  no	
  good	
  outcome.	
  Milton	
  in	
  Outer	
  Space	
  explores	
  this.

DIVERSITY	
  
	
  
Diversity	
  of	
  values	
  leads	
  to	
  conflict.	
  	
  Plato	
  knew	
  this	
  and	
  said	
  that	
  democracies	
  thus	
  pull	
  themselves	
  
apart.	
  World	
  Communist	
  Socialism	
  requires	
  diversity	
  because	
  the	
  world	
  that	
  it	
  seeks	
  to	
  rule	
  is	
  
diverse.	
  To	
  avoid	
  the	
  conflict	
  among	
  groups	
  and	
  individuals	
  it	
  must	
  impose	
  ruthless	
  totalitarianism,	
  
rigid	
  rules	
  of	
  behavior,	
  to	
  keep	
  the	
  diverse	
  elements	
  from	
  attacking	
  each	
  other.	
  .	
  	
  But	
  people	
  resist	
  
authoritarianism	
  and	
  that	
  is	
  why	
  attempts	
  at	
  world	
  communism	
  fall	
  apart,	
  as	
  the	
  Soviet	
  Union	
  
disintegrated	
  into	
  its	
  constituent	
  countries	
  or	
  identifiable	
  ethnic	
  groups.	
  	
  
	
  
Today,

  having	
  learned	
  from	
  history,	
  the	
  Progressive	
  Liberals	
  in	
  the	
  United	
  States	
  extol	
  the	
  virtues	
  
of	
  diversity,	
  wanting	
  to	
  create	
  a	
  cohesive	
  social	
  movement	
  and	
  a	
  unified	
  society.	
  It	
  is	
  very	
  much	
  like	
  
Marx’s	
  “from	
  each	
  according	
  to	
  his	
  abilities,	
  and	
  to	
  each	
  according	
  to	
  his	
  needs.”	
  
	
  
It	
  is	
  entirely	
  possible	
  that	
  Americans	
  will	
  be	
  duped	
  into	
  once	
  more	
  creating	
  that	
  kind	
  of	
  society…that	
  
will	
  in	
  turn	
  fall	
  apart	
  from	
  a	
  defective	
  ideal.

  "UP	
  THE

  What's

From	
  The

  "It	
  may	
  seem	
  silly	
  to	
  attribute	
  so	
  much

  to	
  a

  And	
  the	
  truth	
  is	
  that	
  
there	
  is	
  nothing	
  inherently	
  racist	
  about	
  watermelons.	
  But	
  cultural	
  symbols	
  have	
  the	
  power	
  to	
  shape	
  
how	
  we	
  see	
  our	
  world	
  and	
  the	
  people	
  in	
  it,	
  such	
  as	
  when	
  police

  Darren	
  Wilson	
  saw	
  
Michael	
  Brown	
  as	
  a	
  superhuman	
  “demon.”	
  These	
  symbols	
  have	
  roots	
  in	
  real

specifically,	
  in	
  the	
  case	
  of	
  the	
  watermelon,	
  white	
  people’s	
  fear	
  of	
  the	
  emancipated

Satan	
  is	
  the	
  ultimate	
  revolutionary,	
  like	
  the	
  "emancipated	
  Black	
  body."	
  	
  As	
  Blacks	
  rebel	
  against	
  the	
  
tyranny	
  of	
  their	
  white	
  oppressor,	
  so	
  Satan

  In

SATAN	
  AS	
  A	
  BLACK	
  MAN	
  
Terrance	
  Lindall	
  
Explains	
  
On	
  the	
  cover	
  of	
  my	
  GRAND	
  ELEPHANT	
  FOLIO,	
  that's	
  the	
  rebel	
  Satan	
  in	
  the	
  
watermelon	
  patch.	
  The	
  signs	
  say	
  "No	
  Fishin',	
  No	
  Apple	
  Pickin'.”	
  Satan	
  does	
  
both.	
  After	
  all	
  he	
  has	
  declared	
  in	
  Paradise	
  Lost	
  	
  “To	
  do	
  ought	
  good	
  never	
  
will	
  be	
  our	
  task,	
  But	
  ever	
  to	
  do	
  ill	
  our	
  sole	
  delight,	
  	
  As	
  being	
  the	
  contrary	
  to	
  
his	
  high	
  will	
  Whom	
  we	
  resist.”	
  Satan	
  lazily	
  holds	
  his	
  fishing	
  rod	
  between	
  
his	
  legs	
  and	
  roasts	
  a	
  wiener	
  on	
  a	
  stick	
  between	
  his	
  toes.	
  He	
  has	
  also	
  picked	
  
the	
  corn	
  in	
  Adam's	
  garden	
  and	
  trampled	
  the	
  field,	
  leaving	
  nothing	
  for	
  
Adam.	
  The	
  book	
  reads	
  “The	
  Mind	
  is	
  its	
  own	
  place	
  and	
  can	
  make	
  a	
  heaven	
  of	
  
hell,”	
  and	
  he	
  is	
  indeed	
  lying	
  comfortably	
  in	
  a	
  bed	
  of	
  flames.	
  
When	
  the	
  New	
  York	
  Times	
  photographer,	
  a	
  black	
  lady,	
  came	
  for	
  my	
  2008	
  
Milton	
  Festival	
  she	
  asked	
  why	
  my	
  Satan	
  was	
  painted	
  as	
  a	
  black	
  man.	
  I	
  told	
  
her	
  because	
  no	
  matter	
  whether	
  you	
  are	
  black	
  or	
  white,	
  flesh	
  burnt	
  in	
  the	
  
fires	
  of	
  hell	
  becomes	
  blackened.	
  On	
  the	
  other	
  hand	
  I	
  told	
  her	
  that	
  I	
  had	
  in	
  
mind	
  that	
  black	
  people	
  were	
  in	
  rebellion	
  against	
  perceived	
  obstruction	
  to	
  
integration	
  into	
  mainstream	
  society.	
  Blacks	
  were	
  rebels	
  in	
  the	
  1960’s	
  and	
  
1970’s	
  burning	
  cities	
  and	
  rioting	
  and	
  they	
  continue	
  to	
  this	
  day.	
  They	
  march	
  
in	
  protest	
  now	
  and	
  insist	
  on	
  tearing	
  down	
  confederate	
  and	
  other	
  statues	
  
that	
  remind	
  them	
  of	
  their	
  perceived	
  past	
  and	
  present	
  persecution.	
  I	
  think	
  
that	
  when	
  they	
  finish,	
  ideally	
  there	
  will	
  be	
  no	
  statues	
  of	
  white	
  people	
  at	
  all,	
  
and	
  possibly	
  no	
  white	
  people.	
  	
  
I	
  do	
  not	
  consider	
  myself	
  to	
  be	
  a	
  racist.	
  When	
  I	
  ran	
  the	
  business	
  office	
  at	
  the	
  
American	
  Numismatic	
  Society	
  I	
  had	
  a	
  terrific	
  black	
  lady	
  running	
  the	
  
membership	
  office.	
  When	
  it	
  came	
  time	
  to	
  add	
  to	
  my	
  staff,	
  we	
  interviewed	
  
several	
  candidates	
  and	
  we	
  selected	
  the	
  best	
  who	
  happened	
  to	
  be	
  another	
  
black	
  lady.	
  I	
  did	
  not	
  choose	
  her	
  because	
  she	
  was	
  black,	
  but	
  because	
  she	
  was	
  
the	
  best.	
  These	
  workers	
  were	
  dedicated	
  and	
  excellent.	
  I	
  ran	
  a	
  smooth	
  
operation.	
  	
  
	
  
  14	
  
In	
  any	
  case,	
  my	
  Satan	
  also	
  represents	
  Black	
  rebellion,	
  a	
  rebellion	
  that	
  
metaphorically	
  wishes	
  to	
  take	
  the	
  throne	
  of	
  the	
  white	
  man,	
  just	
  as	
  Satan	
  
wishes	
  to	
  take	
  the	
  throne	
  of	
  God.	
  	
  
	
  
Scott	
  Poole,	
  author	
  of	
  “Satan	
  in	
  America:	
  The	
  Devil	
  We	
  Know,”	
  says	
  the	
  
linking	
  of	
  Satan	
  and	
  race	
  predates	
  American	
  history.	
  European	
  folklore	
  
described	
  Satan	
  as	
  a	
  black	
  man,	
  and	
  the	
  Puritans	
  imported	
  these	
  notions,	
  
and	
  raised	
  them	
  during	
  the	
  Salem	
  witch	
  trials	
  of	
  the	
  1690s.	
  They	
  actually	
  
had	
  a	
  tendency	
  to	
  identify	
  all	
  racial	
  others	
  with	
  satanic	
  powers,	
  
satanic	
  control.”	
  	
  
	
  
My	
  Satan	
  is	
  indolently	
  lounging	
  in	
  his	
  fire,	
  enjoying	
  it.	
  Thus	
  is	
  
Satan	
  lazy,	
  idle,	
  slothful,	
  loafing,	
  &	
  shiftless,	
  lackadaisical,	
  
inert,	
  sluggish,	
  lethargic,	
  torpid,	
  much	
  as	
  the	
  Black	
  man	
  in	
  history	
  has	
  
been	
  "demonized.”	
  
	
  
Milton	
  is	
  encased	
  here	
  in	
  a	
  Watermelon.	
  He	
  represents	
  the	
  fruit	
  of	
  
knowledge.	
  From	
  The	
  Atlantic:	
  "...there	
  is	
  nothing	
  inherently	
  racist	
  about	
  
watermelons.	
  But	
  cultural	
  symbols	
  have	
  the	
  power	
  to	
  shape	
  how	
  we	
  see	
  
our	
  world	
  and	
  the	
  people	
  in	
  it.	
  These	
  symbols	
  have	
  roots	
  in	
  real	
  historical	
  
struggles—specifically,	
  in	
  the	
  case	
  of	
  the	
  watermelon."	
  It	
  the	
  past	
  it	
  
symbolized	
  the	
  simple	
  idiocy	
  of	
  the	
  Black	
  Man,	
  his	
  simple	
  delight	
  in	
  
eating	
  the	
  delicious	
  fruit	
  not	
  mindful	
  of	
  anything	
  else,	
  again	
  as	
  black	
  
people	
  have	
  been	
  demonized	
  in	
  their	
  portrayal	
  by	
  whites.	
  
	
  	
  
As	
  Blacks	
  in	
  America	
  continue	
  to	
  rebel	
  against	
  the	
  tyranny	
  of	
  
their	
  mythical	
  white	
  oppressor	
  today,	
  so	
  Satan	
  rebels	
  against	
  
the	
  mythical	
  tyranny	
  of	
  a	
  God	
  who	
  reduces	
  him	
  to	
  a	
  secondary	
  spirit.	
  In	
  
Eden	
  one	
  cannot	
  eat	
  certain	
  fruits...knowledge	
  is	
  forbidden...kind	
  of	
  like	
  
white	
  people	
  denying	
  an	
  education	
  to	
  Blacks.	
  Today	
  an	
  education	
  is	
  not	
  
denied	
  to	
  anyone	
  and	
  anyone	
  can	
  start	
  a	
  business	
  and	
  get	
  rich.	
  But	
  the	
  
myth	
  and	
  accusation	
  of	
  some	
  politicians	
  and	
  left	
  wing	
  progressives	
  
remains	
  of	
  whites	
  denying	
  blacks.	
  The	
  accusation	
  is	
  a	
  useful	
  tool	
  to	
  shake	
  
the	
  tree	
  of	
  the	
  nation’s	
  bounty	
  and	
  the	
  accusations	
  give	
  a	
  powerful	
  whip	
  
to	
  the	
  left	
  wings	
  machinations	
  for	
  political	
  power.	
  
	
  
  15	
  
Maybe	
  blacks	
  continue	
  to	
  rebel	
  against	
  whites	
  because	
  of	
  an	
  inherited	
  
rage	
  that	
  will	
  take	
  generations	
  to	
  burn	
  itself	
  out.	
  I	
  do	
  continue	
  to	
  hire	
  
black	
  people	
  when	
  I	
  need	
  them.	
  They	
  are	
  generally	
  excellent	
  and	
  
friendly.	
  I	
  believe	
  that	
  blacks	
  can	
  achieve	
  anything	
  they	
  set	
  their	
  minds	
  
on.	
  I	
  think	
  they	
  should	
  devote	
  their	
  time	
  to	
  building	
  businesses	
  instead	
  
of	
  being	
  left	
  wing	
  social	
  justice	
  warriors.	
  It	
  is	
  the	
  sure	
  way	
  to	
  
prosperity	
  and	
  acceptance.	
  The	
  energy	
  and	
  money	
  they	
  use	
  to	
  assault	
  
mythical	
  “white	
  privilege”	
  could	
  be	
  used	
  to	
  build	
  houses	
  and	
  do	
  
productive	
  things	
  for	
  the	
  good	
  of	
  all	
  society.	
  The	
  assault	
  on	
  whiteness	
  
only	
  makes	
  enemies	
  where	
  they	
  need	
  friends.	
  	
  
A black person was elected president of the United States. One has been a
secretary of state and on the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Many are renowned
scientists. In other words, blacks can achieve anything. But blacks are
being convinced by Progressives that they are being held back.
Human	
  history	
  that	
  we	
  know	
  of	
  is	
  only	
  about	
  5000	
  years.	
  I	
  do	
  not	
  
know	
  how	
  all	
  of	
  the	
  issues	
  of	
  race	
  and	
  culture	
  will	
  evolve.	
  I	
  am	
  sure	
  
there	
  will	
  be	
  conflicts	
  and	
  struggles	
  and	
  hopefully	
  a	
  coming	
  to	
  terms.	
  
Maybe	
  it	
  will	
  take	
  another	
  5000	
  years.	
  Maybe	
  it	
  will	
  never	
  happen	
  and	
  
maybe	
  one	
  side	
  will	
  exterminate	
  the	
  other.	
  I	
  will	
  not	
  take	
  sides.	
  I	
  
believe	
  in	
  the	
  dialectic	
  of	
  the	
  universe.	
  I	
  believe	
  in	
  the	
  struggle	
  of	
  
opposites,	
  the	
  fire	
  of	
  the	
  dialectic,	
  the	
  dross	
  will	
  burn	
  away	
  to	
  reveal	
  
the	
  gold,	
  just	
  as	
  free	
  speech	
  contending	
  will	
  reveal	
  TRUTH.	
  	
  
	
  
My	
  Milton	
  in	
  Outer	
  Space	
  is	
  a	
  parody	
  of	
  the	
  racial/political	
  struggle.	
  
When	
  Milton	
  returns	
  from	
  his

  what	
  will	
  he	
  find	
  after	
  100

MILTON	
  AS	
  FATHER	
  OF	
  SCIENCE	
  FICTION	
  
	
  
In	
  Slate	
  Magazine	
  Katy	
  Waldman	
  discusses	
  John	
  Milton’s	
  Paradise	
  Lost	
  as	
  
the	
  precursor	
  of	
  modern	
  science	
  fiction.	
  Surely	
  she	
  has	
  something	
  there.	
  
Yes!	
  John	
  Milton—poet,	
  free	
  speech	
  advocate,	
  civil	
  servant,	
  classics	
  
scholar—surely	
  must	
  have	
  inspired	
  writers	
  such	
  as	
  Asimov,	
  Bradbury,	
  
Delaney,	
  and	
  the	
  rest.	
  As	
  Katy	
  said,	
  “Their	
  outlandish	
  other	
  worlds	
  owe	
  a	
  
debt	
  to	
  his	
  (Milton’s)	
  visionary	
  mode	
  of	
  storytelling;	
  their	
  romance—
characters	
  who	
  go	
  on	
  quests,	
  encounter	
  adversaries	
  at	
  portals,	
  channel	
  the	
  
forces	
  of	
  light	
  and	
  dark—is	
  his	
  (Miltons’),	
  too.”	
  
	
  
Milton	
  met	
  Galileo	
  in	
  1638,	
  and	
  surely	
  they	
  discussed	
  the	
  place	
  of	
  earth	
  and	
  
man	
  in	
  the	
  cosmos.	
  As	
  Katy	
  says,	
  “…the	
  poem	
  is	
  studded	
  with	
  scientific	
  
details—‘luminous	
  inferior	
  orbs’	
  churning	
  through	
  outer	
  space,	
  
descriptions	
  of	
  sunspots	
  and	
  seasons…”	
  Milton	
  uses	
  Adam	
  in	
  Book	
  VIII	
  of	
  
Paradise	
  Lost	
  to	
  present	
  astronomical	
  	
  inquirey	
  of	
  cosmic	
  phenomenae.	
  	
  
	
  
In	
  Book	
  VI	
  Satan	
  invents	
  the	
  science	
  of	
  gunpowder:	
  “…Such	
  implements	
  of	
  
mischief	
  as	
  shall	
  dash	
  To	
  pieces,	
  and	
  orewhelm	
  whatever	
  stands	
  
Adverse.”	
  Thus	
  war	
  in	
  heaven	
  is	
  actually	
  the	
  first	
  intergalactic	
  battle	
  for	
  
good	
  and	
  evil	
  with	
  new	
  weapons	
  of	
  science	
  as	
  in	
  any	
  hot	
  spurred	
  science	
  
fiction	
  opera.	
  	
  
	
  
Thus	
  we	
  present	
  our	
  own	
  John	
  Milton	
  in	
  Outer	
  Space.	
  It	
  is	
  not	
  so	
  much	
  
science	
  fiction	
  as	
  it	
  is	
  a	
  fantastical	
  ripping	
  tale.	
  There	
  is	
  a	
  lot	
  of	
  philosophy	
  
sprinkled	
  throughout.

  way.	
  Milton’s	
  Satan	
  is	
  the	
  archetypal	
  
revolutionary.	
  However,	
  Milton’s	
  Satan	
  was	
  not	
  searching	
  for	
  a	
  “better	
  way”	
  for	
  those	
  he	
  led,	
  rather	
  
he	
  was	
  debased,	
  blinded	
  by	
  jealously	
  and	
  ambition,	
  monumentally	
  tragic,	
  yet	
  courageous	
  
nonetheless.	
  	
  If	
  action	
  is	
  also	
  a	
  form	
  of	
  speech,	
  then	
  Satan’s	
  rebellion	
  against	
  God	
  Himself	
  was	
  the	
  
ultimate	
  in	
  free	
  speech.	
  Today,	
  the	
  left-­‐wing	
  Antifa	
  on	
  campus	
  justify	
  their	
  use	
  of	
  physical	
  violence	
  
against	
  conservatives	
  rather	
  than	
  verbosity	
  because	
  “Fascism	
  is	
  not	
  to	
  be	
  debated.	
  It	
  is	
  to	
  be	
  
smashed.”	
  Of	
  course	
  the	
  right	
  could	
  say	
  “Progressive	
  Stalinist	
  Mind	
  Washing	
  Liberalism	
  is	
  not	
  to	
  be	
  
debated.	
  It	
  is	
  to	
  be	
  smashed.”	
  The	
  use	
  of	
  force	
  as	
  argument	
  is	
  called	
  an	
  ad	
  bachulum	
  fallacy	
  in	
  
logic…resort	
  to	
  the	
  stick	
  when	
  words	
  will	
  not	
  convince.	
  Where	
  then	
  is	
  force	
  justified?	
  Is	
  war	
  
inevitable,	
  ultimately	
  leading	
  to	
  justice?	
  	
  “Milton	
  in	
  Outer	
  Space”	
  envisions	
  Milton	
  being	
  brought	
  
back	
  to	
  our	
  time	
  to	
  assess	
  precepts	
  of	
  free	
  speech	
  and	
  the	
  justice	
  of	
  violence	
  in	
  a	
  multicultural,	
  
multiracial	
  milieu.	
  Milton	
  must	
  assess	
  future	
  food	
  shortages	
  risking	
  starvation	
  for	
  billions,	
  the	
  
replacement	
  of	
  humans	
  by	
  robots	
  in	
  the	
  work	
  force,	
  the	
  cynical	
  manipulation	
  of	
  the	
  population	
  by	
  
left	
  wing	
  race	
  baiting	
  and	
  the	
  subsequent	
  blame	
  of	
  White	
  Christians	
  for	
  inequities	
  in	
  society	
  so	
  the	
  
Left	
  can	
  get	
  votes	
  from	
  minorities,	
  soon	
  to	
  be	
  the	
  majority,	
  etc.	
  Would	
  Milton	
  advocate	
  free	
  speech	
  
to	
  win	
  over	
  humanity	
  to	
  create	
  a	
  system	
  of	
  freedom	
  justice	
  and	
  equality?	
  Would	
  he	
  back	
  a	
  firebrand	
  
like	
  Cromwell	
  to	
  bring	
  about	
  a	
  just	
  social	
  order?	
  Would	
  he	
  opt	
  for	
  the	
  dictatorship	
  of	
  a	
  philosopher	
  
king	
  (possibly	
  a	
  supercomputer	
  to	
  indifferently	
  mete	
  out	
  justice)?	
  Would	
  Milton	
  abandon	
  the	
  
current	
  human	
  condition	
  as	
  entirely	
  untenable	
  and	
  beyond	
  saving	
  and	
  go	
  in	
  search	
  of	
  a	
  New	
  
Paradise?	
  What	
  would	
  that	
  New	
  Paradise	
  be	
  like?	
  Milton	
  for	
  moderns!!!

Light	
  and	
  mind	
  are	
  manifestations	
  of	
  the	
  burning	
  universe.	
  Everything	
  is	
  on	
  fire.	
  Our	
  bodies	
  are	
  
ovens	
  in	
  which	
  oxygen	
  combines	
  with	
  sugars	
  to	
  produce	
  heat	
  and	
  energy.	
  The	
  luminescence	
  that	
  
allows	
  us	
  to	
  see	
  the	
  world	
  un-­‐blinded	
  and	
  the	
  luminescence	
  of	
  our	
  thought	
  is	
  a	
  product	
  of	
  that	
  fire.	
  
The	
  dialectic	
  is	
  a	
  reflection	
  of	
  God’s	
  separating	
  the	
  light	
  from	
  the	
  dark.	
  In	
  the	
  beginning	
  was	
  The	
  
Word.	
  God	
  said	
  “LET	
  THERE	
  BE	
  LIGHT!”	
  Thus	
  He	
  divided	
  the	
  light	
  from	
  the	
  dark.	
  Opposites	
  were	
  
actualized	
  and	
  the	
  possibility	
  of	
  infinite	
  divisions	
  made	
  manifest.	
  This	
  is	
  the	
  Beginning,	
  the	
  "big	
  
bang"	
  of	
  the	
  great	
  dialectic	
  of	
  creation	
  and	
  destruction	
  through	
  The	
  Word.	
  Just	
  as	
  the	
  binary	
  
language	
  of	
  a	
  computer	
  can	
  create	
  informational	
  worlds	
  (meaning)	
  within	
  the	
  universe	
  of	
  the	
  hard	
  
drive,	
  so	
  God	
  through	
  the	
  binary,	
  the	
  duality,	
  the	
  Dialectic	
  of	
  Light	
  and	
  Dark	
  (Being	
  &	
  Nothingness),	
  
made	
  possible	
  all	
  things,	
  and	
  through	
  the	
  fulminations	
  of	
  “possibility	
  and	
  actuality	
  actualized”	
  as	
  in	
  
Aristotle’s	
  Metaphysics	
  (created)	
  all	
  things…as	
  ideas	
  or	
  aspects	
  of	
  the	
  MIND	
  of	
  God.	
  So	
  in	
  fact,	
  in	
  
God’s	
  WORD	
  we	
  see	
  that	
  speech	
  and	
  action	
  are	
  the	
  same.	
  The	
  WORD	
  takes	
  the	
  form	
  of	
  action	
  
separating	
  light	
  and	
  dark	
  and	
  creating	
  the	
  world.	
  Action	
  is	
  a	
  form	
  of	
  speech...THE	
  WORD!	
  The	
  
dialectic	
  of	
  argument,	
  in	
  philosophy	
  and	
  logic	
  pits	
  one	
  idea	
  against	
  the	
  other	
  and	
  THE	
  
ILLUMINATION	
  OF	
  THE	
  FIRES	
  OF	
  THE	
  DILALECTIC	
  burns	
  away	
  the	
  dross	
  to	
  reveal	
  the	
  GOLD!!	
  It	
  
separates	
  the	
  light	
  (the	
  good)	
  from	
  the	
  dark	
  (the	
  bad,	
  evil	
  or	
  the	
  deformed)…like	
  GOD!	
  
THE	
  WORD	
  IS	
  ACTION	
  AND	
  THE	
  WORD	
  IS	
  VIOLENCE!	
  Today	
  in	
  our	
  American	
  conversation	
  about	
  
college	
  campuses,	
  free	
  speech,	
  and	
  political	
  correctness	
  is	
  that	
  certain	
  forms	
  of	
  speech	
  cause	
  
psychological	
  harm	
  to	
  students	
  that	
  administrators	
  have	
  an	
  obligation	
  to	
  eradicate	
  them	
  as	
  with	
  
speeches	
  by	
  Charles	
  Murray	
  and	
  Milo	
  Yiannopoulos.	
  The	
  ones	
  opposed	
  to	
  speeches	
  by	
  these	
  men	
  
used	
  violence	
  to	
  stop	
  them	
  on	
  the	
  predication	
  that	
  their	
  speeches	
  were	
  also	
  a	
  form	
  of	
  violence	
  
(violent	
  ACTION).	
  
	
  In	
  an	
  article	
  in	
  New	
  York	
  Magazine	
  Jesse	
  Singal	
  writes	
  
“Such	
  claims	
  of	
  harm	
  —	
  often	
  summed	
  up	
  as	
  “speech	
  is	
  violence”	
  —	
  aren’t	
  typically	
  invoked	
  in	
  
response	
  to	
  actual	
  Nazis,	
  or	
  anything	
  like	
  that.	
  Rather,	
  they	
  are	
  used	
  to	
  argue	
  against	
  allowing	
  
speakers	
  like	
  Murray	
  and	
  Yiannopoulos	
  —	
  who,	
  for	
  better	
  or	
  worse,	
  do	
  fit	
  in	
  the	
  conservative	
  
mainstream	
  —	
  or	
  even	
  significantly	
  more	
  moderate	
  ones	
  like	
  Emily	
  Yoffe,	
  who	
  has	
  expressed	
  
skepticism	
  about	
  certain	
  claims	
  pertaining	
  to	
  the	
  prevalence	
  of	
  sexual	
  assault	
  on	
  campus.	
  In	
  one	
  
instance	
  students	
  successfully	
  canceled	
  a	
  showing	
  of	
  American	
  Sniper	
  by	
  arguing	
  the	
  film’s	
  
ostensible	
  Islamophobia	
  would	
  make	
  “students	
  feel	
  unsafe	
  and	
  unwelcome”	
  —	
  though	
  the	
  
screening	
  was	
  later	
  uncanceled.”

Today	
  throughout	
  the	
  world	
  we	
  see	
  a	
  massive	
  dynamic	
  of	
  social	
  conflict.	
  In	
  America	
  it	
  is	
  currently	
  
much	
  about	
  race	
  and	
  justice.	
  Most	
  people	
  just	
  want	
  to	
  live	
  in	
  peace,	
  have	
  a	
  place	
  to	
  live	
  and	
  enough	
  
food	
  in	
  order	
  to	
  enjoy	
  life	
  and	
  perhaps	
  raise	
  a	
  family.	
  People	
  may	
  notice	
  that	
  their	
  neighbors	
  have	
  
more,	
  perhaps	
  less.	
  This	
  may	
  lead	
  to	
  envy	
  or	
  jealousy	
  but	
  generally	
  does	
  not	
  lead	
  to	
  conflict	
  as	
  long	
  as	
  
there	
  is	
  enough	
  to	
  go	
  around…unless	
  there	
  is	
  concerted	
  and	
  persistent	
  propaganda	
  by	
  intellectuals	
  and	
  
elected	
  officials	
  and	
  other	
  leaders	
  to	
  foment	
  jealousies	
  for	
  their	
  own	
  purposes.	
  Revolutions	
  generally	
  
occur	
  when	
  a	
  population	
  lacks	
  food	
  or	
  resources	
  as	
  in	
  the	
  French	
  Revolution	
  when	
  there	
  also	
  existed	
  a	
  
wealthy	
  class	
  who	
  did	
  not	
  suffer	
  the	
  travails	
  of	
  the	
  poor.	
  Today	
  in	
  America	
  there	
  is	
  enough	
  food	
  and	
  
shelter,	
  but	
  remarkably,	
  in	
  spite	
  of	
  government’s,	
  especially	
  Progressive	
  Democrats,	
  stated	
  claims	
  of	
  
wishing	
  to	
  help	
  the	
  underprivileged,	
  the	
  disenfranchised	
  and	
  the	
  poorest	
  among	
  us,	
  nothing	
  changes,	
  
and,	
  in	
  fact,	
  things	
  are	
  becoming	
  worse.	
  Rich	
  get	
  richer	
  and	
  poor	
  get	
  poor	
  whether	
  under	
  elected	
  
Democrats	
  or	
  Republicans.	
  And	
  people	
  live	
  in	
  tent	
  cities	
  because	
  the	
  shelters	
  provided	
  for	
  the	
  
homeless	
  by	
  the	
  government	
  are	
  dangerous,	
  housing	
  criminals	
  and	
  drug	
  addicts	
  as	
  well	
  as	
  ordinary	
  
persons.	
  Americans	
  could	
  have	
  made	
  a	
  capitalistic	
  society	
  where	
  everyone	
  had	
  a	
  job	
  and	
  lived	
  with	
  a	
  
modicum	
  of	
  satisfaction.	
  But	
  men	
  who	
  place	
  power	
  and	
  wealth	
  above	
  all,	
  including	
  Progressive	
  
Liberals	
  and	
  Conservative	
  Republicans	
  etc.	
  have	
  created	
  a	
  divided	
  society	
  pitting	
  poor	
  against	
  the	
  rich	
  
and	
  middle	
  class,	
  Black	
  against	
  White	
  against	
  Brown	
  to	
  get	
  votes.	
  Divide	
  and	
  conquer…and	
  confuse	
  and	
  
suppress!	
  Distract	
  from	
  the	
  real	
  evil	
  of	
  the	
  power	
  brokers.	
  
	
  	
  
Great	
  idealist	
  writers	
  and	
  thinkers	
  down	
  through	
  history	
  have	
  written	
  about	
  utopias	
  and	
  dystopias.	
  
Cromwell	
  and	
  Milton	
  both	
  envisioned	
  a	
  utopia.	
  Milton	
  was	
  influenced	
  by	
  Sir	
  Philip	
  Sidney's	
  prose	
  
pastoral	
  epic,	
  Arcadia.	
  Jefferson	
  and	
  the	
  founding	
  fathers	
  envisioned	
  a	
  utopia	
  also,	
  based	
  upon	
  a	
  
homogeneous	
  population	
  of	
  White	
  Christians	
  sharing	
  common	
  values	
  NOT	
  A	
  DIVERSE	
  SOCIETY	
  as	
  
Progressives	
  promulgate	
  today.	
  Adolf	
  Hitler	
  was	
  an	
  idealist	
  as	
  was	
  Mao.	
  They	
  envisioned	
  a	
  perfect	
  
world	
  and	
  meant	
  to	
  implement	
  their	
  vision	
  and	
  impose	
  it	
  on	
  the	
  rest	
  of	
  humanity.	
  The	
  rest	
  of	
  humanity	
  
found	
  their	
  ideals	
  grisly.	
  More	
  relevant	
  to	
  our	
  times,	
  the	
  great	
  writers	
  and	
  thinkers	
  Aldus	
  Huxley,	
  
George	
  Orwell	
  and	
  H.G.	
  Wells	
  lived	
  when	
  the	
  industrial	
  and	
  scientific	
  revolutions	
  of	
  the	
  19th	
  and	
  20th	
  
centuries	
  gave	
  to	
  their	
  imaginations	
  the	
  possibilities	
  of	
  both	
  a	
  heaven	
  and	
  hell	
  of	
  an	
  immediate	
  future	
  
for	
  mankind.	
  The	
  dystopian	
  1984	
  and	
  Animal	
  Farm	
  of	
  George	
  Orwell	
  are	
  meant	
  to	
  satirize	
  the	
  Soviet	
  
Socialist	
  Marxist	
  Republic.	
  “All	
  animals	
  are	
  equal,	
  but	
  some	
  are	
  more	
  equal	
  than	
  others.”	
  Rather	
  sounds	
  
like	
  Progressive	
  Liberals.	
  	
  The	
  Progressive	
  Liberals	
  seem	
  to	
  be	
  a	
  consortium	
  of	
  victims…Blacks,	
  Gays,	
  
Jews,	
  Muslims,	
  Lesbians,	
  cripples,	
  drug	
  addicts,	
  hopeless	
  criminals	
  who	
  want	
  a	
  second	
  chance,	
  poor,	
  
disenfranchised	
  etc..how	
  convenient	
  that	
  they	
  all	
  vote!	
  And	
  the	
  Progressives	
  are	
  serving	
  up	
  the	
  White	
  
Christian	
  as	
  fodder,	
  as	
  “the	
  victimizer”	
  against	
  whom	
  the	
  Progressives	
  will	
  defend	
  their	
  consortium.	
  
The	
  Soviets	
  also	
  called	
  themselves	
  “Progressive.”	
  Same	
  people!	
  
	
  
  21	
  
There	
  is	
  a	
  saying,	
  “The	
  Left	
  eats	
  its	
  own.”	
  I	
  surmise	
  that	
  after	
  the	
  Progressives	
  get	
  rid	
  of	
  the	
  White	
  
Christian	
  victimizer,	
  they	
  will	
  point	
  out	
  the	
  Jews	
  or	
  Muslims	
  as	
  new	
  victimizers	
  and	
  so	
  on	
  down	
  the	
  
line	
  etc.	
  until	
  there	
  are	
  no	
  victims	
  or	
  victimizers	
  left	
  and	
  the	
  world	
  is	
  at	
  peace,	
  the	
  peace	
  of	
  the	
  
graveyard.	
  Maybe	
  we	
  should	
  all	
  just	
  start	
  World	
  War	
  III	
  and	
  end	
  humanity	
  in	
  one	
  great	
  fireball.	
  
Quicker,	
  less	
  painful!	
  I	
  think	
  that	
  we	
  can	
  do	
  without	
  that	
  kind	
  of	
  “progress.”	
  Another	
  visionary	
  writer	
  
Jean	
  Raspail	
  wrote	
  another	
  vision	
  of	
  the	
  near	
  future,	
  The	
  Camp	
  of	
  the	
  Saints	
  in1973.	
  The	
  novel	
  
depicts	
  a	
  setting	
  wherein	
  Third	
  World	
  mass	
  immigration	
  to	
  France	
  and	
  the	
  West	
  leads	
  to	
  the	
  
destruction	
  of	
  Western	
  civilization.	
  It	
  is	
  precisely	
  what	
  is	
  happening	
  in	
  Europe	
  today!	
  He	
  is	
  
considered	
  a	
  racist.	
  But	
  he	
  is	
  right	
  on	
  the	
  money.	
  
I	
  have	
  often	
  said	
  “humanism	
  is	
  a	
  scorpion	
  that	
  will	
  sting	
  itself	
  to	
  death.”	
  What	
  do	
  I	
  mean?	
  My	
  fellow	
  
visionary	
  Bienvenido	
  “Bones”	
  Banez	
  asked	
  me	
  to	
  elaborate.	
  
In	
  Milton’s	
  Paradise	
  Lost,	
  as	
  Satan	
  contemplated	
  God,	
  he	
  “trusted	
  to	
  have	
  equaled	
  the	
  most	
  high.”	
  	
  In	
  
other	
  words,	
  he	
  held	
  up	
  Flanagan's	
  Mirror,	
  thus	
  blotting	
  out	
  the	
  light	
  of	
  God’s	
  truth	
  and	
  perfect	
  
order,	
  and	
  in	
  that	
  mirror	
  Satan	
  saw	
  himself	
  as	
  God.	
  His	
  own	
  desires	
  were	
  now	
  the	
  criteria	
  of	
  Truth	
  
and	
  Justice.	
  Satan	
  rejected	
  the	
  order	
  of	
  God’s	
  Love	
  and	
  he	
  was	
  now	
  on	
  his	
  own	
  to	
  determine	
  what	
  is	
  
good	
  and	
  bad.	
  
The	
  seduction	
  of	
  Adam	
  and	
  Eve	
  by	
  Satan	
  also	
  left	
  Adam	
  and	
  Eve	
  cut	
  off	
  from	
  the	
  order	
  and	
  law	
  of	
  
God.	
  That	
  is	
  loss	
  of	
  Eden,	
  where	
  humans	
  knew	
  their	
  boundaries	
  and	
  were	
  happy	
  in	
  God’s	
  orderly	
  
garden.	
  Now	
  God	
  left	
  them	
  to	
  be	
  on	
  their	
  own.	
  Adam	
  &	
  Eve	
  had	
  decided	
  to	
  disobey	
  God’s	
  Law	
  and	
  
now	
  God	
  left	
  them	
  to	
  create	
  their	
  own	
  laws	
  and	
  humanism	
  was	
  born.	
  Yes,	
  indeed,	
  Satan	
  inspired	
  
humanism	
  and	
  it	
  was	
  the	
  only	
  recourse	
  to	
  man	
  after	
  the	
  fall.	
  What	
  is	
  humanism?	
  
From	
  the	
  Wikipedia	
  article:	
  "Humanism	
  can	
  be	
  considered	
  as	
  a	
  process	
  by	
  which	
  truth	
  and	
  morality	
  
is	
  sought	
  through	
  human	
  investigation."	
  In	
  other	
  words,	
  truth	
  and	
  morality	
  are	
  found	
  by	
  holding	
  up	
  
Flanagan’s	
  Mirror	
  and	
  examining	
  ourselves	
  in	
  relation	
  to	
  the	
  world,	
  not	
  by	
  receiving	
  any	
  revelation	
  
from	
  God	
  or	
  his	
  appointed	
  messengers	
  on	
  earth,	
  most	
  notably	
  the	
  Pope.	
  In	
  investigating	
  our	
  relation	
  
to	
  others	
  and	
  ourselves,	
  humanism	
  seems	
  to	
  have	
  arrived	
  at	
  the	
  conclusion	
  that	
  judgment	
  of	
  good	
  
and	
  bad	
  are	
  relative	
  to	
  each	
  person.	
  For	
  example,	
  it	
  may	
  be	
  good	
  for	
  one	
  man	
  to	
  kill	
  another	
  to	
  
preserve	
  his	
  family,	
  but	
  is	
  it	
  good	
  for	
  the	
  family	
  whose	
  member	
  has	
  been	
  killed?	
  	
  
In	
  the	
  King’s	
  Torah	
  subscribed	
  to	
  by	
  some	
  Orthodox	
  Jews,	
  it	
  is	
  permissible	
  to	
  kill	
  Gentiles	
  who	
  might	
  
pose	
  a	
  future	
  threat	
  of	
  Jews.	
  	
  Rabbi	
  Yitzhak	
  Shapiro,	
  who	
  heads	
  the	
  Od	
  Yosef	
  Chai	
  Yeshiva	
  in	
  the	
  
Yitzhar	
  settlement,	
  wrote	
  in	
  his	
  book	
  "The	
  King's	
  Torah"	
  that	
  even	
  babies	
  and	
  children	
  can	
  be	
  killed	
  
if	
  they	
  pose	
  a	
  threat	
  to	
  the	
  nation.	
  He	
  says,	
  "It	
  is	
  permissible	
  to	
  kill	
  the	
  Righteous	
  among	
  Nations	
  
even	
  if	
  they	
  are	
  not	
  responsible	
  for	
  the	
  threatening	
  situation,"	
  he	
  wrote,	
  adding:	
  "If	
  we	
  kill	
  a	
  Gentile	
  
who	
  has	
  sinned	
  or	
  has	
  violated	
  one	
  of	
  the	
  seven	
  commandments	
  -­‐	
  because	
  we	
  care	
  about	
  the	
  
commandments	
  -­‐	
  there	
  is	
  nothing	
  wrong	
  with	
  the	
  murder."	
  Unfortunately,	
  the	
  Muslims	
  and	
  
Christians	
  may	
  also	
  believe	
  it	
  is	
  right	
  just	
  to	
  kill	
  Orthodox	
  Jews	
  such	
  as	
  Rabbi	
  Shapiro	
  who	
  might	
  
decide	
  in	
  future	
  to	
  kill	
  all	
  Gentiles	
  preemptively,	
  having	
  perceived	
  all	
  gentiles	
  as	
  a	
  possible	
  future	
  
threat.	
  Therefore	
  Gentiles	
  might	
  decide	
  to	
  do	
  a	
  preemptive	
  strike,	
  as	
  Hitler	
  did	
  in	
  fact	
  attempt.	
  Thus	
  
to	
  prevent	
  chaos	
  from	
  such	
  dilemmas	
  regarding	
  good	
  an	
  evil	
  (bad)	
  as	
  relative,	
  the	
  secular	
  nations	
  
create	
  secular	
  laws	
  and	
  a	
  system	
  of	
  justice.	
  We	
  recreate	
  God	
  (final	
  absolute	
  authority)	
  as	
  a	
  form	
  of	
  
Government	
  and	
  all	
  are	
  judged	
  under	
  its	
  aegis.	
  And	
  the	
  League	
  of	
  Nations,	
  the	
  United	
  Nations	
  and	
  
The	
  EU	
  are	
  just	
  the	
  beginning	
  attempts	
  at	
  a	
  secular	
  humanist	
  world	
  order	
  of	
  government.

The	
  eternal	
  social	
  struggle.	
  Note	
  the	
  scorpion	
  with	
  “humanism”	
  written	
  on	
  its	
  back	
  
	
  
“Humanism	
  is	
  a	
  scorpion	
  that	
  will	
  sting	
  itself	
  to	
  death!”

What	
  about	
  secular	
  communism	
  and	
  capitalism	
  as	
  options	
  for	
  a	
  truly	
  humanist	
  society?	
  
	
  	
  
Communists;	
  through	
  “human	
  investigation”	
  and	
  experience	
  have	
  examined	
  the	
  human	
  condition	
  and	
  
found	
  that	
  they	
  can	
  achieve	
  the	
  closest	
  thing	
  to	
  paradise	
  on	
  earth	
  by	
  following	
  the	
  principle	
  that	
  “from	
  
each	
  man	
  according	
  to	
  his	
  abilities,	
  and	
  to	
  each	
  man	
  according	
  to	
  his	
  needs.”	
  	
  However,	
  they	
  also	
  
understand	
  that	
  leadership	
  is	
  required.	
  Some	
  have	
  decided	
  that	
  the	
  “abilities”	
  that	
  they	
  wish	
  to	
  donate	
  
for	
  the	
  general	
  good	
  falls	
  to	
  "leadership"	
  of	
  the	
  rest.	
  As	
  leaders,	
  they	
  must	
  represent	
  their	
  flock	
  with	
  
dignity.	
  As	
  such	
  they	
  must	
  entertain	
  with	
  the	
  best	
  victuals,	
  ride	
  in	
  fine	
  limousines	
  and	
  fly	
  in	
  private	
  jets.	
  
They	
  must	
  also	
  maintain	
  order.	
  No	
  unqualified	
  upstart	
  potential	
  leaders	
  like	
  Ghandi	
  or	
  Christ	
  or	
  the	
  
Dalai	
  Lama	
  should	
  usurp	
  their	
  own	
  powers.	
  	
  Those	
  who	
  presume	
  to	
  be	
  taller	
  than	
  the	
  rest	
  must	
  be	
  
extirpated	
  from	
  the	
  body	
  social	
  –	
  they	
  rock	
  the	
  boat	
  and	
  make	
  others	
  feel	
  inferior.	
  That	
  is	
  humanism	
  in	
  
its	
  ultimate	
  form,	
  for	
  the	
  good	
  of	
  all,	
  not	
  the	
  one.	
  
	
  	
  
But	
  sheep	
  are	
  for	
  sheering.	
  	
  All	
  men	
  are	
  equal,	
  but	
  in	
  that	
  flock	
  most	
  are	
  for	
  sheering	
  by	
  those	
  who	
  are	
  
more	
  equal	
  than	
  the	
  rest.	
  	
  Same	
  with	
  capitalism	
  and	
  democracy,	
  we	
  are	
  a	
  flock	
  under	
  the	
  careful	
  watch	
  
of	
  our	
  virtuous	
  leaders	
  who	
  talk	
  about	
  their	
  concern	
  for	
  the	
  people.	
  We	
  the	
  flock	
  are	
  sheep	
  and	
  sheep	
  
are	
  for	
  sheering!	
  	
  	
  Look	
  at	
  the	
  bailout	
  of	
  the	
  banks	
  in	
  2008-­‐9…who	
  got	
  sheered?	
  Who	
  did	
  the	
  sheering?	
  
Instead	
  of	
  creating	
  jobs	
  programs	
  when	
  unemployment	
  reached	
  9	
  %	
  so	
  that	
  people	
  could	
  pay	
  their	
  
mortgages	
  to	
  and	
  spend	
  money	
  to	
  sustain	
  a	
  weak	
  economy,	
  the	
  politicians	
  who	
  receive	
  huge	
  
contributions	
  from	
  Wall	
  Street	
  gave	
  vast	
  sums	
  of	
  money	
  to	
  Goldman	
  Sachs	
  who	
  was	
  “too	
  big	
  to	
  fail.”	
  
Now	
  in	
  2011the	
  brokers	
  at	
  Goldman	
  Sachs,	
  who	
  actually	
  caused	
  the	
  economic	
  crash	
  by	
  creating	
  
instrument	
  they	
  knew	
  would	
  explode,	
  are	
  receiving	
  record	
  bonuses!	
  	
  
SEEKING	
  Humanistic	
  SOLUTIONS	
  TO	
  THE	
  COMING	
  CRISIS	
  IN	
  AMERICA	
  IN	
  THE	
  NEXT	
  TWENTY	
  YEARS:	
  
The	
  economic	
  meltdown	
  in	
  2008	
  was	
  the	
  first	
  wave	
  of	
  a	
  series	
  of	
  crises	
  that	
  will	
  affect	
  America,	
  
especially	
  America’s	
  cities	
  in	
  the	
  coming	
  two	
  decades.	
  	
  Unemployment	
  was	
  hovering	
  around	
  9%	
  
officially	
  and	
  was	
  actually	
  much	
  higher.	
  Members	
  of	
  America's	
  once	
  thriving	
  middle	
  class,	
  unemployed	
  
and	
  unable	
  to	
  pay	
  their	
  bills,	
  were	
  forced	
  from	
  their	
  homes	
  and	
  not	
  be	
  able	
  to	
  afford	
  rent.	
  Tent	
  cities	
  
sprang	
  up	
  all	
  over	
  the	
  United	
  States.	
  	
  	
  
In	
  order	
  to	
  keep	
  social	
  order,	
  government	
  and	
  media	
  will	
  downplay	
  the	
  crisis.	
  
	
  
	
  
  24	
  
The	
  rise	
  of	
  temperatures	
  worldwide	
  is	
  now	
  creating	
  severe	
  droughts	
  and	
  extreme	
  weather	
  is	
  
affecting	
  crops	
  and	
  livestock.	
  	
  The	
  now	
  periodic	
  droughts	
  and	
  famine	
  in	
  Africa	
  are	
  creating	
  an	
  
exodus	
  of	
  its	
  population	
  to	
  the	
  safe	
  haven	
  of	
  Europe,	
  which	
  will	
  not	
  be	
  a	
  safe	
  haven	
  for	
  long.	
  All	
  
this	
  while	
  the	
  world’s	
  7	
  billion	
  population	
  continues	
  to	
  expand	
  devouring	
  diminishing	
  non-­‐
renewable	
  resources,	
  especially	
  oil	
  that	
  had	
  in	
  fact	
  created	
  the	
  agricultural	
  revolution	
  that	
  was	
  
able	
  to	
  feed	
  the	
  world	
  up	
  until	
  now.	
  Steve	
  Jones,	
  head	
  of	
  the	
  biology	
  department	
  at	
  University	
  
College	
  London,	
  has	
  said,	
  "Humans	
  are	
  10,000	
  times	
  more	
  common	
  than	
  we	
  should	
  be,	
  according	
  
to	
  the	
  rules	
  of	
  the	
  animal	
  kingdom,	
  and	
  we	
  have	
  (oil	
  based)	
  agriculture	
  to	
  thank	
  for	
  that.”	
  The	
  
looming	
  scarcity	
  of	
  food	
  means	
  that	
  food	
  will	
  be	
  supplied	
  to	
  the	
  highest	
  bidder.	
  Hunger	
  and	
  even	
  
starvation	
  in	
  America	
  will	
  become	
  commonplace,	
  and	
  government	
  will	
  be	
  able	
  to	
  do	
  little	
  about	
  it.	
  
Government	
  will	
  make	
  sure	
  that	
  the	
  working	
  class;	
  the	
  military,	
  the	
  police	
  and	
  property	
  owners	
  
will	
  not	
  go	
  hungry,	
  as	
  resources	
  are	
  husbanded.	
  As	
  unemployment	
  and	
  hunger	
  increase,	
  these	
  
men	
  will	
  resort	
  to	
  criminal	
  activities.	
  People	
  do	
  what	
  they	
  must	
  to	
  survive.	
  
	
  	
  
What	
  can	
  be	
  done	
  to	
  protect	
  the	
  residents	
  and	
  decent	
  citizens	
  in	
  this	
  and	
  other	
  cities	
  in	
  the	
  United	
  
States?	
  Not	
  much!	
  
THE	
  GOVERNMENT	
  MUST	
  STEP	
  IN	
  
We	
  have	
  been	
  tossed	
  from	
  the	
  garden	
  of	
  peace	
  and	
  plenty,	
  so,	
  to	
  keep	
  order,	
  the	
  humanist	
  
government	
  must	
  step	
  in	
  before	
  matters	
  escalate	
  into	
  warfare	
  between	
  these	
  violent	
  criminals	
  
and	
  the	
  resident	
  working	
  populace	
  and	
  they	
  will	
  definitely	
  step	
  in	
  to	
  protect	
  the	
  rich	
  men	
  who	
  are	
  
tending	
  this	
  flock.	
  The	
  useful	
  working	
  class,	
  soon	
  to	
  be	
  replaced	
  by	
  robots,	
  is	
  multitudinous	
  and	
  
some	
  are	
  expendable	
  as	
  buffers	
  between	
  the	
  starving	
  and	
  the	
  rich.	
  The	
  rich	
  and	
  politically	
  
powerful	
  know	
  that	
  they	
  must	
  be	
  protected	
  at	
  all	
  cost	
  (the	
  ostensible	
  practice	
  of	
  humanism)!	
  
Possibly	
  labor	
  camps	
  will	
  be	
  devised	
  where	
  these	
  wretched	
  men	
  can	
  be	
  watched,	
  fed	
  and	
  
provided	
  with	
  work	
  that	
  will	
  be	
  of	
  benefit	
  to	
  society.	
  But	
  that	
  they	
  can	
  provide	
  useful	
  work	
  is	
  
doubtful	
  in	
  lieu	
  of	
  robots.	
  
CONSEQUENCES	
  IF	
  THE	
  GOVERNMENT	
  DOES	
  NOT	
  STEP	
  IN	
  
Already	
  the	
  police	
  are	
  called	
  frequently	
  to	
  settle	
  conflicts	
  between	
  the	
  right	
  and	
  the	
  left,	
  both	
  sides	
  
self-­‐righteous.	
  These	
  conflicts	
  will	
  grow	
  as	
  hunger	
  and	
  need	
  and	
  hopelessness	
  drive	
  them.	
  In	
  the	
  
near	
  future	
  the	
  government,	
  already	
  strapped	
  for	
  resources,	
  will	
  not	
  even	
  be	
  able	
  to	
  accommodate	
  
these	
  people	
  in	
  prisons	
  after	
  they	
  commit	
  crimes	
  of	
  desperation.	
  It	
  will	
  be	
  a	
  waste	
  of	
  food	
  and	
  
resources	
  that	
  are	
  better	
  given	
  to	
  useful	
  citizens.	
  What	
  will	
  the	
  humanist	
  government	
  do	
  then	
  
with	
  the	
  approval	
  of	
  the	
  “decent”	
  citizens?	
  Let	
  them	
  starve	
  or	
  euthanasia?

THE STORY
In April 1667, Isaac Newton came to Cambridge and in October was elected as a fellow of
Trinity. Fellows were required to become ordained priests, although this was not enforced in
the restoration years and an assertion of conformity to the Church of England was sufficient.
Here he met John Milton who was about to publish his grand opus Paradise Lost. Newton
described to Milton his attempts to extract scientific information from the Bible, he estimated
that the world would end no earlier than 2060. In predicting this he said, "This I mention not to
assert when the time of the end shall be, but to put a stop to the rash conjectures of fanciful
men who are frequently predicting the time of the end, and by doing so bring the sacred
prophesies into discredit as often as their predictions fail." Newton was so taken with Milton's
work that he gave Milton a work on alchemy by which Milton's remains would be "preferrved"
and resurrected in 350 years, so he could help save humanity from the dire straights in which it
would find itself.
At Milton's Cottage, Chalfont, in 2015, the new business manager finds a letter indicating that it
is not to be opened until 2015. She opens it and reads the contents to find the startling
discovery that Milton can be resurrected with Newton’s formulae! Calling on scholars from
Cambridge University, Milton is revived to undertake the task of saving humanity. In January
2017 they travel to America to address the Milton convention and later to Williamsburg
Brooklyn to discuss the matter with philosopher and Milton illustrator Terrance Lindall. They are
subsequently put in contact with Trump advisor Elon Musk who agrees to build a spaceship for
John Milton and provide a crew to "explore outer space for a new paradise." The adventure
has begun! Space aliens, galactic battles between forces of evil and good...and more!
FACTS:
In 1888, after spending sixteen years cataloging Newton's papers, Cambridge
University kept a small number and returned the rest to the Earl of Portsmouth. In
1936, a descendant offered the papers for sale at Sotheby’s. The collection was
broken up and sold for a total of about £9,000. John Maynard Keynes was one of
about three dozen bidders who obtained part of the collection at auction. Keynes
went on to reassemble an estimated half of Newton's collection of papers on
alchemy before donating his collection to Cambridge University in 1946. All of
Newton's known writings on alchemy are currently being put online in a project
undertaken by Indiana University: "The Chymistry of Isaac Newton".

John	
  Milton	
  is	
  confronted	
  with	
  several	
  options.	
  One	
  is	
  from	
  a	
  mysterious	
  and	
  brilliant	
  person	
  named	
  
Ladnil	
  Yerret	
  who	
  describes	
  his	
  overview	
  of	
  the	
  human	
  condition	
  and	
  the	
  history	
  of	
  Space	
  Aliens	
  
who	
  conceived	
  of	
  human	
  beings	
  as	
  	
  a	
  genetic	
  experiment.	
  Yerret	
  proposes	
  to	
  take	
  up	
  where	
  the	
  
aliens	
  left	
  off.	
  Milton	
  is	
  horrified	
  at	
  tampering	
  with	
  “God’s	
  creation”	
  and	
  he	
  begins	
  to	
  have	
  doubts	
  
about	
  his	
  own	
  biblical	
  beliefs.	
  
	
  
Other	
  options	
  are	
  to	
  create	
  a	
  socialist	
  communist	
  dictatorship	
  and	
  by	
  behavioral	
  psychology	
  modify	
  
human	
  behavior.	
  Mankind	
  would	
  not	
  then	
  improve	
  but	
  remain	
  static	
  and	
  uncreative.	
  As	
  to	
  what	
  
behavior	
  would	
  be	
  acceptable,	
  who	
  was	
  to	
  judge.	
  Should	
  it	
  advocate	
  extermination	
  of	
  the	
  weak	
  to	
  
make	
  the	
  race	
  strong,	
  or	
  should	
  the	
  weak	
  be	
  protected,	
  a	
  Christian	
  virtue?	
  Should	
  we	
  eliminate	
  the	
  
variety	
  of	
  races	
  selecting	
  only	
  the	
  most	
  “advanced”	
  in	
  order	
  to	
  eliminate	
  diversity,	
  competition	
  and	
  
conflict?	
  Should	
  we	
  simply	
  allow	
  the	
  conflict	
  to	
  play	
  out	
  naturally	
  so	
  that	
  the	
  “fittest”	
  prove	
  their	
  
worthiness	
  as	
  survivors	
  (the	
  way	
  nature	
  works)?	
  
	
  
In	
  the	
  end	
  Milton	
  comes	
  upon:	
  
	
  
The	
  7	
  Heavens	
  Solution!

FROM BOOK VIII
When I behold this goodly Frame, this World [ 15 ]
Of Heav'n and Earth consisting, and compute,
Thir magnitudes, this Earth a spot, a graine,
An Atom, with the Firmament compar'd
And all her numberd Starrs, that seem to rowle
Spaces incomprehensible (for such [ 20 ]
Thir distance argues and thir swift return
Diurnal) meerly to officiate light
Round this opacous Earth, this punctual spot,
One day and night; in all thir vast survey
Useless besides, reasoning I oft admire, [ 25 ]
How Nature wise and frugal could commit
Such disproportions, with superfluous hand
So many nobler Bodies to create,
Greater so manifold to this one use,
For aught appeers, and on thir Orbs impose [ 30 ]
Such restless revolution day by day
Repeated, while the sedentarie Earth,
That better might with farr less compass move,
Serv'd by more noble then her self, attaines
Her end without least motion, and receaves, [ 35 ]
As Tribute such a sumless journey brought
Of incorporeal speed, her warmth and light;
Speed, to describe whose swiftness Number failes.

JOHN	
  MILTON	
  IN	
  OUTER	
  SPACE	
  
EPISODE	
  ONE:	
  NERVOUS	
  EXHAUSTION	
  
	
  
Terrance	
  Lindall	
  was	
  in	
  the	
  ceaselessly	
  changing,	
  city	
  of	
  Brooklyn,	
  Williamsburg	
  to	
  be	
  
exact,	
  with	
  its	
  historic	
  landmarks	
  and	
  clustering	
  brownstones	
  that	
  men	
  of	
  rank	
  and	
  
wealth	
  built	
  in	
  the	
  19th	
  century.	
  Nor	
  was	
  any	
  spot	
  in	
  that	
  city	
  more	
  steeped	
  in	
  macabre	
  
memory	
  than	
  the	
  landmarked	
  Kings	
  County	
  Savings	
  Bank	
  Building	
  banking	
  floor	
  with	
  it	
  
high	
  ceilings	
  and	
  Doric	
  columns	
  and	
  dark	
  black	
  walnut	
  paneling	
  which	
  harboured	
  him—
for	
  it	
  was	
  this	
  building	
  and	
  this	
  grand	
  reception	
  hall	
  which	
  had	
  likewise	
  harboured	
  old	
  
Isaiah	
  Fesnik,	
  whose	
  flight	
  from	
  New	
  York	
  at	
  the	
  last	
  no	
  one	
  was	
  ever	
  able	
  to	
  explain.	
  
That	
  was	
  in	
  1962—the	
  wife	
  had	
  gone	
  mad	
  and	
  babbled	
  of	
  a	
  small,	
  white	
  naked	
  child	
  like	
  
figure	
  with	
  large	
  black	
  bulging	
  eyes	
  that	
  appeared	
  and	
  asked	
  about	
  the	
  poet	
  philosopher	
  
John	
  Milton	
  and	
  his	
  whereabouts,	
  and	
  not	
  even	
  	
  her	
  husband	
  could	
  explain	
  the	
  imposing	
  
out	
  of	
  this	
  world	
  inquiry	
  about	
  a	
  famous	
  poet	
  over	
  350	
  years	
  dead.	
  
	
  
Possibly	
  Terrance	
  ought	
  not	
  to	
  have	
  studied	
  so	
  hard	
  about	
  Milton,	
  Newton	
  and	
  quantum	
  
mechanics.	
  .	
  Non-­‐Euclidean	
  calculus	
  and	
  quantum	
  physics	
  are	
  enough	
  to	
  stretch	
  any	
  
brain;	
  and	
  when	
  one	
  mixes	
  them	
  with	
  dead	
  poets,	
  and	
  tries	
  to	
  trace	
  a	
  strange	
  
background	
  of	
  multi-­‐dimensional	
  reality,	
  time	
  travel	
  and	
  reincarnation,	
  one	
  can	
  hardly	
  
expect	
  to	
  be	
  wholly	
  balanced.	
  Terrance	
  came	
  from	
  Minnesota,	
  but	
  it	
  was	
  only	
  after	
  he	
  
had	
  entered	
  Hunter	
  College	
  that	
  he	
  began	
  to	
  connect	
  his	
  philosophical	
  interests	
  with	
  the	
  
fantastic	
  poetry	
  of	
  John	
  Milton.	
  Something	
  in	
  the	
  air	
  of	
  the	
  old	
  landmarked	
  building	
  
worked	
  obscurely	
  on	
  his	
  imagination.	
  His	
  friends,	
  had	
  urged	
  him	
  to	
  slacken	
  up,	
  but	
  he	
  
persisted.	
  Moreover,	
  they	
  had	
  urged	
  him	
  not	
  to	
  consult	
  the	
  dubious	
  old	
  books	
  of	
  
forbidden	
  secrets	
  of	
  Isaac	
  Newton	
  that	
  were	
  kept	
  under	
  lock	
  and	
  key	
  in	
  a	
  vault	
  at	
  the	
  
University	
  of	
  Indiana	
  library.	
  But	
  all	
  these	
  precautions	
  came	
  late	
  in	
  the	
  day,	
  so	
  that	
  
Terrance	
  had	
  some	
  terrible	
  hints	
  from	
  the	
  Ortus	
  Medicinae	
  (1667),	
  with	
  Newton’s	
  
abstract	
  formulae	
  on	
  the	
  properties	
  of	
  space	
  and	
  the	
  linkage	
  of	
  dimensions	
  known	
  and	
  
unknown.	
  
	
  
Terrance	
  had	
  extraordinary	
  dreams	
  of	
  John	
  Milton	
  visiting	
  him	
  and	
  felt	
  that	
  these	
  visits	
  
or	
  hallucinations	
  were	
  more	
  than	
  real.	
  Some	
  times	
  he	
  felt	
  as	
  if	
  he	
  were	
  being	
  watched	
  by	
  
some	
  invisible	
  creature	
  or	
  creatures,	
  and	
  occasionally	
  he	
  would	
  seem	
  to	
  see	
  something	
  
out	
  of	
  the	
  corner	
  of	
  his	
  eye,	
  but	
  when	
  he	
  turned	
  to	
  look,	
  nothing	
  was	
  there.

“His wife had gone
mad and babbled of a
small, white naked
child like figures with
large black bulging
eyes that appeared
and asked about the
poet philosopher John
Milton and his
whereabouts, and not
even her husband
could explain the
imposing out of this
world inquiry about a
famous poet over 350
years dead.”!
	
   Above:	
  Terrance	
  standing	
  in	
  the	
  doorway	
  in	
  front	
  of	
  the	
  WAH	
  
Center	
  contemplating	
  the	
  hallucinations	
  of	
  Isaiah’s	
  wife	
  
  34	
  
The	
  dreams	
  were	
  wholly	
  beyond	
  the	
  pale	
  of	
  the	
  ordinary,	
  and	
  Terrance	
  felt	
  that	
  they	
  
must	
  be	
  a	
  result	
  of	
  his	
  studies	
  in	
  mathematics,	
  and	
  descriptions	
  of	
  Heaven	
  and	
  Hell	
  in	
  
Paradise	
  Lost.	
  He	
  had	
  been	
  thinking	
  too	
  much	
  about	
  the	
  vague	
  regions	
  which	
  Newton’s	
  
formulae	
  told	
  him	
  must	
  lie	
  beyond	
  the	
  three	
  dimensions	
  we	
  know,	
  and	
  about	
  the	
  
possibility	
  that	
  old	
  Isaiah	
  Fesnik	
  had	
  actually	
  found	
  the	
  location	
  of	
  those	
  regions,	
  
thereby	
  his	
  disappearance.	
  .	
  	
  
	
  
As	
  for	
  Isaiah’s	
  wife,	
  witnesses	
  in	
  town	
  spoke	
  of	
  some	
  such	
  creature	
  appearing	
  and	
  
disappearing	
  and	
  the	
  descriptions	
  were	
  that	
  it	
  was	
  evilly	
  human	
  while	
  its	
  hands	
  were	
  
like	
  tiny	
  human	
  hands.	
  	
  Its	
  voice	
  was	
  a	
  kind	
  of	
  loathsome	
  twittering,	
  and	
  it	
  could	
  mind	
  
project	
  in	
  all	
  languages.	
  Nothing	
  filled	
  Terrance	
  with	
  greater	
  panic	
  than	
  the	
  possibility	
  
of	
  meeting	
  this	
  hybrid	
  “thing”	
  whose	
  imagined	
  form	
  in	
  his	
  nightmares	
  was	
  more	
  
frightening	
  than	
  anything	
  his	
  waking	
  mind	
  could	
  conjure.	
  
	
  
Terrance’s	
  dreams	
  consisted	
  largely	
  in	
  plunges	
  through	
  limitless	
  abysses	
  of	
  
inexplicably	
  colored	
  outer	
  space	
  and	
  bafflingly	
  disordered	
  sound;	
  abysses	
  whose	
  
physical	
  and	
  gravitational	
  properties,	
  he	
  could	
  not	
  even	
  begin	
  to	
  explain	
  by	
  his	
  studies	
  
of	
  earthly	
  science.	
  He	
  did	
  not	
  fly	
  in	
  bodily	
  form,	
  yet	
  always	
  experienced	
  a	
  mode	
  of	
  
motion	
  partly	
  voluntary	
  and	
  partly	
  involuntary	
  of	
  mind	
  separated	
  from	
  body,	
  yes	
  with	
  
sight	
  and	
  sound	
  even	
  without	
  the	
  eyes	
  and	
  ears.	
  And	
  when	
  he	
  awoke,	
  sight	
  of	
  his	
  arms,	
  
legs,	
  and	
  torso	
  seemed	
  oddly	
  disarranged	
  and	
  out	
  of	
  perspective.

  Paradise	
  Lost	
  
	
  
	
  
	
  
John	
  Milton	
  woke	
  up	
  in	
  his	
  bedroom	
  in	
  Chalfont.	
  He	
  had	
  that	
  
vaguely	
  pleasant	
  lazy	
  feeling	
  one	
  has	
  after	
  a	
  good	
  nights	
  sleep	
  
with	
  pleasant	
  dreams	
  on	
  a	
  fine	
  spring	
  morning.	
  That	
  might	
  not	
  
have	
  been	
  unusual	
  if	
  the	
  year	
  had	
  been	
  1674	
  or	
  any	
  of	
  the	
  years	
  
prior	
  to	
  that.	
  What	
  he	
  did	
  not	
  know	
  was	
  that	
  it	
  was	
  the	
  year	
  
2016.	
  And	
  he	
  was	
  also	
  beginning	
  to	
  realize	
  that	
  he	
  could	
  see,	
  an	
  
astounding	
  thing	
  since	
  he	
  had	
  blind	
  for	
  the	
  past	
  several	
  years.	
  
“This	
  is	
  a	
  dream,”	
  he	
  thought.	
  Or	
  was	
  I	
  a	
  miracle?	
  But	
  it	
  was	
  
neither,	
  which	
  he	
  was	
  soon	
  to	
  find	
  out.	
  The	
  room	
  looked	
  familiar,	
  but	
  also	
  different	
  in	
  
some	
  ways.	
  He	
  rose	
  from	
  bed	
  and	
  swung	
  his	
  legs	
  to	
  the	
  side	
  of	
  the	
  bed.	
  He	
  looked	
  down	
  
at	
  his	
  hands.	
  They	
  were	
  not	
  the	
  hands	
  of	
  a	
  sixty	
  some	
  year	
  old	
  man.	
  They	
  were	
  a	
  young	
  
man’s	
  hands!	
  He	
  got	
  up	
  excitedly	
  and	
  walked	
  across	
  to	
  the	
  mirror.	
  Staring	
  back	
  at	
  him	
  
was	
  the	
  handsome	
  face	
  of	
  his	
  youth	
  with	
  the	
  reddish	
  brown	
  hair	
  of	
  which	
  the	
  ladies	
  
liked.	
  How	
  was	
  this	
  possible?	
  He	
  put	
  on	
  the	
  robe	
  that	
  was	
  laid	
  across	
  the	
  chair	
  and	
  went	
  
over	
  to	
  the	
  door	
  and	
  opened	
  it.	
  What	
  he	
  saw	
  was	
  like	
  nothing	
  he	
  had	
  seen	
  or	
  could	
  have	
  
imagined.	
  This	
  from	
  an	
  imagination	
  that	
  had	
  conjured	
  up	
  the	
  grand	
  scope	
  Heaven	
  and	
  
Hell	
  and	
  everything	
  in	
  between	
  in	
  his	
  great	
  masterpiece	
  Paradise	
  Lost!	
  
	
  
John	
  Dugdale,	
  Trustee	
  of	
  Milton	
  Cottage.	
  Chalfont,	
  	
  saw	
  the	
  door	
  open	
  and	
  jumped	
  up.	
  He	
  
knew	
  that	
  John	
  Milton	
  would	
  soon	
  be	
  awake	
  and	
  was	
  waiting	
  in	
  the	
  outer	
  room	
  for	
  that	
  
momentous	
  event.	
  He	
  and	
  his	
  business	
  director	
  Kelly	
  O’Reilly	
  wanted	
  Milton	
  to	
  awake	
  in	
  
a	
  familiar	
  environment	
  and	
  not	
  in	
  a	
  hospital	
  or	
  laboratory	
  setting.	
  John	
  walked	
  over	
  to	
  
Milton	
  and	
  took	
  his	
  hand	
  warmly	
  in	
  his	
  own	
  and	
  smiled,	
  saying,	
  “Welcome	
  to	
  the	
  21st	
  
century	
  after	
  your	
  long	
  sleep.	
  You	
  have	
  a	
  lot	
  to	
  catch	
  up	
  with	
  and	
  we	
  are	
  here	
  to	
  help!”	
  
The	
  language	
  spoken	
  by	
  Bradley	
  was	
  somewhat	
  odd	
  in	
  inflection,	
  but	
  not	
  overly	
  
unfamiliar	
  and	
  was	
  clearly	
  a	
  form	
  of	
  English.	
  Yes	
  indeed	
  Milton	
  was	
  in	
  a	
  state	
  of	
  mild	
  
shock	
  and	
  wonderment…

  2:	
  The	
  Indian	
  Well	
  of	
  Peter	
  Minuit…“Regions	
  of

Here we return to Williamsburg Brooklyn, since this is the seat of the wonders that brought back Milton to his
youth in the 21st
century. But we do not return to Williamsburg in our time. We must now retreat even further
back to the year 1626 in the month of May on an island off the coast of the New World.
Peter Minuit, was a Walloon from Wesel, in present-day North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, then part of the
Duchy of Cleves. His surname means "midnight". He was Director of the Dutch colony of New Netherland from
1626 until 1631, and founded the Swedish colony of New Sweden in 1638.
Peter stands in a grove of oaks with several other men. One of the other men is a Red Indian of powerful stature
and in an elaborate headdress. The Indian’s arms are folded across his chest.
A chest is opened and several of the chief s braves inspect the contents, holding them up before their chief. The
chief nods approval of the treasure and a pipe is brought forth to smoke in the Indian tradition of sealing the
bargain. And a deerskin scroll with Indian signs is handed to Peter Minuit from the Chief of the Manhatta Tribes
from across the river. Manhattan Island, the land upon which the greatest city of the 20th Century would stand
200 hundred years later was bought for the sum of twenty-four dollars worth of beads. Unknown to historians, this
transaction did not take place on the Island of Manhattan, but across the river on a larger island the Dutch called
Breukelen or broken land, now called Brooklyn. It was here that this episode of history took place because this
was the place of the Manhatta spiritual rituals. Women and children were forbidden. Only initiated men were
allowed to visit. And some who did visit and were of unclean spirit contracted a strange wasting disease and bled
from their pours and died quickly. It was here where abided the Indian Well, a place of spirits and much manna. It
was to be another gift to the White chief of the Dutch, Peter Minuit, to build a fine home. As a final gesture of
spiritual release of the lands of their forefathers, the Medicine man tosses an offering of one string of beads into
the Indian well, Minuit looks down onto the mysterious well as the beads fall, never seeming to reach the bottom
where a green luminescence pulsed. Days later, Minuit had this well covered over with a lead hatch from his ship.
His men and their families feared the damnable heathen hole, a place of devils, as they expressed it. Minuit had
the lead cover embossed with a prayer and a curse in Latin, which translated read, HERE LIES THE WAY THAT
OUT OF HEATHEN HELL LEADS TO A NEW CHRISTIAN LAND, AND THAT PLACE THAT HEREIN
LIES IS NEVER MORE TO BE UNCOVERED EXCEPT THAT HE WHO DOES SO BE CURSED
EVERMORE AND BANNED FROM THE HOME OF MAN. And further in Dutch, HERE PETER MINUIT
DID BUY FOR HIS CHRISTIAN KING A HOME FOR HIS CHRISTIAN SERVANTS.

There are a pair of similar wells in Portugal spiraling deep within the earth. The wells were never used, nor
intended for water collection. Instead, these mysterious underground towers were used for secretive initiation
rites.
The cultural landscape upon which this Quinta da Regaleira sits dates back thousands of years. There are
archaeological sites in the area dating back to the early Neolithic (5 th millennium BC) and extending all the way
through to the Iron Age (4 th – 2 nd centuries BC). The Roman occupation of the region began in the mid-2 nd
century BC and it was later conquered by the Moors.
The Quinta da Regaleira is a vast estate that has had many owners throughout the years, each contributing their
own personal touch. In 1904, it was sold to António Augusto Carvalho Monteiro, a wealthy Portuguese
entomologist, that the estate was transformed into a unique palace adorned with symbolic carvings associated
with Masonry
According to Shaurya Smarak, “The pair of wells, known as the ‘Initiation Wells’ or ‘Inverted Towers’, consist of
‘winding stair’ architecture, which carries symbolic meaning including the death/rebirth allegory common to
many hermetic traditions.
“One of the wells contains nine platforms, which are said to be “reminiscent of the Divine Comedy by Dante and
the nine circles of Hell, the nine sections of Purgatory and the nine skies which constitute Paradise.” A smaller
well, called the “Unfinished Well,” contains a set of straight staircases, connecting the ring-shaped floors to one
another. It is believed that the spacing of the landings, as well as the number of steps in between were dictated by
Masonic principles.”
So our Indian well of Peter Minuit has matching wells in Portugal and perhaps in many other parts of the world
dating back who knows how far!

Episode 2 ½: The computer: “Such implements of mischief as shall dash
To pieces, and orewhelm whatever stands…”
John	
  Milton	
  had	
  spent	
  the	
  last	
  two	
  months	
  learning	
  how	
  to	
  use	
  the	
  computer	
  that	
  had	
  been	
  provided	
  
by	
  John	
  Dugdale.	
  What	
  an	
  instrument	
  that	
  could	
  reach	
  out	
  to	
  the	
  world	
  and	
  provide	
  moving	
  pictures	
  
so	
  what	
  was	
  happening	
  anywhere	
  at	
  the	
  every	
  moment!!!	
  He	
  read	
  the	
  news	
  articles	
  and	
  explored	
  the	
  
history	
  of	
  the	
  world	
  since	
  he	
  had	
  died	
  in	
  1674.	
  He	
  was	
  fascinated	
  and,	
  even	
  more,	
  he	
  as	
  horrified	
  at	
  
how	
  humanity	
  had	
  devolved	
  over	
  the	
  period.	
  He	
  thought	
  to	
  himself,	
  quoting	
  Khan	
  in	
  the	
  Star	
  Trek	
  
episode	
  Space	
  Seed,	
  	
  “I	
  am	
  surprised	
  how	
  little	
  improvement	
  there	
  has	
  been	
  in	
  human	
  evolution.	
  Oh,	
  
there	
  has	
  been	
  technical	
  advancement,	
  but,	
  how	
  little	
  man	
  himself	
  has	
  changed.“	
  Essentially	
  the	
  
progress	
  of	
  man	
  since	
  the	
  Greeks	
  up	
  to	
  England	
  of	
  the	
  17th	
  century	
  was	
  the	
  same,	
  technical	
  
advancement,	
  yet	
  hatred,	
  war,	
  greed	
  and	
  the	
  all	
  of	
  rest	
  of	
  human	
  generated	
  misery	
  endured.	
  	
  Empires	
  
had	
  risen	
  and	
  fallen,	
  man	
  had	
  invented	
  machines	
  and	
  new	
  sciences,	
  but	
  still	
  man	
  suffered,	
  to	
  quote	
  
Gibbon	
  from	
  his	
  Rise	
  and	
  fall	
  of	
  the	
  Roman	
  Empire	
  “from	
  vicissitudes	
  of	
  fortune,	
  which	
  spares	
  neither	
  
man	
  nor	
  the	
  proudest	
  of	
  his	
  works,	
  which	
  buries	
  empires	
  and	
  cities	
  in	
  a	
  common	
  grave.”	
  Also	
  from	
  
Gibbon,	
  Milton	
  viewed	
  mans	
  journey	
  as	
  “…a	
  long	
  period	
  of	
  distress	
  and	
  anarchy,	
  in	
  which	
  empire,	
  and	
  
arts,	
  and	
  riches,	
  had	
  migrated	
  from	
  the	
  banks	
  of	
  the	
  Tiber,	
  [but]	
  man	
  was	
  incapable	
  of	
  restoring	
  or	
  
adorning.”	
  And	
  further,	
  	
  the	
  human	
  condition	
  Gibbon	
  noted	
  “…and,	
  as	
  all	
  that	
  is	
  human	
  must	
  
retrograde	
  if	
  it	
  do	
  not	
  advance,	
  [so]	
  every	
  successive	
  age	
  must	
  have	
  hastened	
  the	
  ruin	
  of…”	
  what	
  
great	
  achievements	
  of	
  thought	
  that	
  had	
  gone	
  before.	
  	
  
	
  
	
  
  40	
  
Milton	
  was	
  awed	
  by	
  the	
  expansion	
  of	
  his	
  island	
  nation	
  of	
  England	
  in	
  in	
  the	
  18th	
  and	
  19th	
  centuries.	
  By	
  
1913,	
  the	
  British	
  Empire	
  held	
  sway	
  over	
  412	
  million	
  people,	
  23%	
  of	
  the	
  world	
  population	
  at	
  the	
  time,	
  and	
  
by	
  1920,	
  it	
  covered	
  35,500,000	
  km2	
  (13,700,000	
  sq	
  mi),[24%	
  of	
  the	
  Earth's	
  total	
  land	
  area.	
  It	
  could	
  only	
  
be	
  accounted	
  for	
  by	
  the	
  strategic	
  intelligence	
  of	
  its	
  leadership	
  and	
  the	
  ingenuity	
  of	
  its	
  science,	
  industry	
  
and	
  military.	
  It	
  surpassed	
  Alexander	
  the	
  great	
  in	
  ambition.	
  But	
  dominance	
  is	
  fraught	
  with	
  difficulties.	
  It	
  
had	
  several	
  tigers	
  by	
  the	
  tail.	
  	
  
	
  
Milton	
  was	
  also	
  astounded	
  by	
  the	
  rapid	
  development	
  of	
  science	
  an	
  industry. Anglo	
  Saxons	
  subsequent	
  to	
  
his	
  death	
  in	
  1674	
  had	
  invented	
  the	
  airplane,	
  radio,	
  television,	
  electric	
  lights,	
  the	
  telephone,	
  moving	
  
pictures,	
  automobiles,	
  steam	
  ships,	
  modern	
  rockets,	
  landed	
  on	
  the	
  moon,	
  established	
  modern	
  medicine,	
  
produced	
  vibrant	
  capitalism	
  and	
  much	
  more.	
  It	
  was	
  unimaginable	
  that	
  humans	
  could	
  do	
  this	
  without	
  
some	
  guidance	
  from	
  somewhere…	
  
	
  
The	
  political	
  makeup	
  of	
  societies	
  he	
  had	
  always	
  been	
  concerned	
  with,	
  hence	
  his	
  involvement	
  with	
  the	
  
Reformation.	
  He	
  noted	
  that	
  the	
  strength	
  of	
  American	
  democracy	
  and	
  economy	
  had	
  been	
  born	
  of	
  slavery.	
  
While	
  the	
  British	
  slave	
  trade	
  was	
  already	
  in	
  full	
  gear	
  by	
  Milton’s	
  own	
  time,	
  he	
  saw	
  that	
  British	
  anti-­‐
slavery	
  agitators	
  justified	
  their	
  own	
  cause	
  with	
  Milton’s	
  republican	
  tenets	
  on	
  "native	
  liberty.”	
  But	
  Milton	
  
had	
  not	
  taken	
  into	
  consideration	
  racial	
  and	
  non-­‐Christian	
  elements	
  of	
  the	
  society	
  he	
  now	
  beheld	
  in	
  those	
  
tenets.	
  He	
  had	
  based	
  his	
  arguments	
  before	
  on	
  a	
  more	
  or	
  less	
  racial	
  and	
  religious	
  homogeneity.	
  He	
  noted	
  
that	
  his	
  friend	
  Dryden,	
  undertaking	
  the	
  noble	
  task	
  of	
  freeing	
  "the	
  fetter’d	
  Slave"	
  meant	
  to	
  include	
  the	
  
civilizing	
  of	
  former	
  black	
  slaves.	
  But	
  neither	
  could	
  foresee	
  that	
  the	
  numerical	
  increase	
  of	
  that	
  population	
  
might	
  create	
  a	
  shift	
  in	
  social	
  position	
  and	
  power	
  in	
  a	
  democracy.	
  
	
  
Cultural	
  relativism	
  and	
  the	
  archaic	
  idea	
  of	
  the	
  cyclical	
  rise	
  and	
  fall	
  of	
  empires	
  contributed	
  to	
  a	
  strand	
  of	
  
anxiety	
  running	
  through	
  the	
  development	
  of	
  American	
  theories	
  of	
  democracy.	
  It	
  was	
  Milton’s	
  idea	
  that	
  
the	
  master-­‐slave	
  relationship	
  was	
  depraved,	
  although	
  in	
  some	
  instances	
  it	
  was	
  justified	
  as	
  in	
  Ham’s	
  curse.	
  
In	
  other	
  words,	
  those	
  who	
  committed	
  a	
  wrong	
  against	
  society	
  were	
  justly	
  enslaved	
  (imprisoned	
  and	
  their	
  
labor	
  used	
  for	
  the	
  benefit	
  of	
  society).	
  	
  
	
  
Milton	
  noted	
  that	
  after	
  World	
  War	
  I,	
  America	
  became	
  the	
  global	
  hegemonic	
  power	
  and	
  adopted	
  the	
  role	
  
of	
  a	
  global	
  police	
  force.	
  It	
  strived	
  to	
  impose	
  American	
  democratic	
  values	
  on	
  other	
  nations	
  of	
  diverse	
  racial	
  
ethnic	
  and	
  religious	
  constitutions.	
  The	
  developments	
  of	
  a	
  Lockean	
  work	
  ethic,	
  the	
  division	
  of	
  labor,	
  and	
  
the	
  elimination	
  of	
  the	
  progressive	
  racialization	
  of	
  slavery	
  that	
  had	
  earlier	
  allowed	
  the	
  transformation	
  and	
  
growth	
  of	
  agrarian	
  and	
  industrial	
  America	
  was	
  now	
  gone.	
  Now	
  its	
  former	
  slaves	
  were	
  paid	
  labor.	
  Milton	
  
in	
  reading	
  this	
  history	
  feared	
  that	
  the	
  formerly	
  enslaved	
  might	
  not	
  be	
  fit	
  to	
  use	
  their	
  newly	
  found	
  
freedom.	
  He	
  note	
  that	
  this	
  view	
  was	
  echoed	
  in	
  plans	
  for	
  gradual	
  abolition	
  and	
  emancipation,	
  as	
  argued	
  by	
  
Edmund	
  Burke,	
  Coleridge,	
  and	
  Macaulay.	
  	
  
	
  
Up	
  to	
  the	
  21st	
  century	
  the	
  American	
  experiment	
  seemed	
  to	
  be	
  working.	
  Eventually	
  the	
  separation	
  of	
  the	
  
races	
  in	
  housing	
  and	
  schooling	
  had	
  been	
  abolished.	
  Yet,	
  races	
  still	
  tended	
  to	
  keep	
  themselves	
  separate	
  
although	
  there	
  was	
  now	
  some	
  intermarriage.	
  The	
  Jews	
  seemed	
  to	
  assimilate	
  readily	
  with	
  the	
  white	
  
Christians	
  rather	
  well,	
  and	
  in	
  fact	
  they	
  prospered	
  after	
  their	
  remarkable	
  culminating	
  experience	
  with	
  Jew	
  
hatred	
  in	
  Nazi	
  Germany.	
  	
  
	
  
  41	
  
Milton	
  was	
  pleased	
  that	
  since	
  his	
  writing	
  his	
  Aereopagitica,	
  censorship	
  of	
  books	
  significantly	
  and	
  
steadily	
  decreased,	
  at	
  least	
  in	
  the	
  United	
  Kingdom,	
  the	
  United	
  States	
  and	
  other	
  Western	
  democracies.	
  
But	
  even	
  in	
  those	
  countries	
  efforts	
  to	
  ban	
  books	
  from	
  public	
  libraries	
  has	
  continued.	
  During	
  the	
  first	
  
decade	
  of	
  the	
  21st	
  Century,	
  the	
  American	
  Library	
  Association	
  documented	
  more	
  than	
  4,000	
  attempts	
  to	
  
have	
  various	
  book	
  removed	
  from	
  local	
  libraries	
  here	
  in	
  the	
  US.	
  Some	
  modern	
  self-­‐appointed	
  censors	
  
want	
  to	
  ban	
  books	
  that	
  conflict	
  with	
  their	
  religious	
  or	
  political	
  views.	
  Some	
  want	
  to	
  block	
  access	
  to	
  
books	
  they	
  deem	
  “pornographic.”	
  Other	
  reasons	
  given	
  for	
  requesting	
  books	
  to	
  be	
  banned	
  from	
  American	
  
libraries	
  in	
  recent	
  years	
  include	
  things	
  like	
  sexism,	
  “anti-­‐family”	
  content	
  and	
  uses	
  of	
  the	
  N-­‐word,	
  one	
  of	
  
the	
  common	
  complaints	
  lodged	
  against	
  Mark	
  Twain’s	
  classic	
  novel	
  Huckleberry	
  Finn.	
  And	
  some	
  wanted	
  
to	
  ban	
  Shakespeare	
  as	
  being	
  anti-­‐semitic.	
  	
  
	
  
Milton	
  noted	
  that	
  as	
  the	
  racial	
  demographics	
  tip	
  toward	
  people	
  for	
  color,	
  there	
  were	
  more	
  cries	
  from	
  
“people	
  of	
  color”	
  about	
  overcoming	
  of	
  the	
  racist	
  legacy	
  of	
  White	
  Western	
  exploitation	
  of	
  the	
  genius	
  and	
  
labor	
  of	
  Black	
  &	
  Hispanic	
  peoples.	
  November	
  2016:	
  “CNN	
  Newsroom,”	
  CNN	
  Political	
  Commentator	
  and	
  
former	
  National	
  Press	
  Secretary	
  to	
  Democratic	
  presidential	
  candidate	
  Senator	
  Bernie	
  Sanders	
  (I-­‐VT)	
  
Symone	
  Sanders	
  argued,	
  “we	
  don’t	
  need	
  white	
  people	
  leading	
  the	
  Democratic	
  Party	
  right	
  now.	
  The	
  
Democratic	
  Party	
  is	
  diverse,	
  and	
  it	
  should	
  be	
  reflected	
  as	
  so	
  in	
  our	
  leadership.”	
  Milton	
  could	
  see	
  the	
  drift	
  
of	
  things.	
  There	
  were	
  also	
  courses	
  being	
  taught	
  at	
  universities	
  on	
  “overcoming	
  white	
  privilege.”	
  At	
  least	
  
in	
  America,	
  there	
  was	
  developing	
  a	
  systematic	
  program	
  of	
  de-­‐legitimization	
  of	
  the	
  white	
  European	
  
Christian	
  world	
  much	
  like	
  the	
  de-­‐legitimization	
  of	
  the	
  Jews	
  in	
  Nazi	
  Germany.	
  
	
  
There	
  were	
  many	
  more	
  thoughts	
  and	
  more	
  to	
  examine	
  on	
  the	
  internet.	
  	
  
	
  
Milton	
  was	
  absorbing	
  all	
  of	
  this	
  and	
  thinking.	
  And	
  there	
  was	
  that	
  nagging	
  question	
  that	
  John	
  Dugdale	
  
had	
  never	
  answered,	
  id	
  est,	
  why	
  was	
  he	
  brought	
  back	
  and	
  by	
  what	
  science.	
  	
  
	
  
Finally	
  John	
  Dugdale	
  came	
  into	
  Milton’s	
  study	
  and	
  announced,	
  “it’s	
  time	
  to	
  get	
  your	
  questions	
  
answered!”

Not like in our home on earth, Somewhere out in Outer Space. Is it heaven? You decide, You, who sit there at God's side. Where's the angel most preferred? Why’s he now reviled? Satan should know that a man with the power of poetry can bring him to the end of his luck. And he should know by Milton's stride and the look in his eye, That he will be forced to give up! Satan attack! Satan attack! Watch your back before it fades to black! 3Xs Milton might look as fragile as glass, But he’ll kick your Satan ass! Go Milton go! Go Milton go! Now go, now fly! With your new Rocket, You Own the sky!  
  • 7.   7   Part 2 Nine December Sixteen-oh-eight Eight November Seventy-four. Milton served through Cromwell's reign, Commonwealth, Protector, Lord. Subjects missed a monarch’s throne. Royalty restored! He can serve you on your ride. Whether you be lord or waif Who’s to say God loves you most? Or that love will keep us safe? But you should know that this man with his power of poetry can bring you to your knees. And you should know by Milton's stride and the look in his eyes That he will be eager to please. Milton is back! Milton is back! Course his track to find the words you lack! (3Xs) Go Milton go! Go Milton go! Now go, now fly, With your new Rocket you own the sky Mister Satan never hangs around When he hears this Milton sound: "Here I come to save the day!" Mighty Milton's on his way. Yes when there is a wrong to right Mighty Milton joins the fight. In the sky or on the land, He has the conflict well in hand. Now Milton's stronger than you know, Will deal Old Scratch a mighty blow. All his life he's been told He'll be nothing when he's old Hey now! He is young once more, With all his wisdom well in store. Oh, great Milton, Through storm and strife, Fighting for Truth throughout your life, You've been struggling to make things right, A mighty man in a mighty fight. That's how this great poet flies, Opposing Satan’s greatest lies. TERANCE LINDALL/PETER DIZOZZA  
  • 8.   8   J   Foreword     JOHN  MILTON  IN  OUTER  SPACE   Surrealism  Unbound   By  Terrance  Lindall         The  world  is  my  swamp,  my  Paradise!  I  grew  up  in  Afton  Minnesota  from  age  7  to  12.    I  spent  most   of  my  summers  in  the  swamp  in  back  of  our  house.  I  saw  the  spring  floods  swell  the  swamp.  The   fish,  northern  pike,  gar  etc.  came  into  the  swamp  to  lay  eggs  in  the  weeds  where  they  hatched.  By   summer  the  floods  receded  and  the  swamp  water  was  low,  but  natural  springs  fed  the  swamp  with   ice-­‐cold  water  and  huge  carp  dwelled  in  the  swamp  in  large  schools.  In  the  mornings  you  could   watch  as  their  red  dorsal  fins  stuck  out  of  the  water’s  surface  as  they  moved  around  the  shallow   edge  where  they  put  their  snouts  into  the  murky  bottom  to  stir  up  crawfish  and  insects.  Summers   were  my  joy.  I  would  jump  out  of  bed  with  my  toy  terrier  dog  Nipper  before  anyone  else  was  up.  I   would  grab  a  breakfast  of  Frosted  Flakes  and  run  across  the  railroad  tracks  down  to  the  swamp.   There  I  used  tin  cans  to  scoop  up  minnows  that  hid  in  the  recesses  of  the  swamps  edge.  Sometimes   I  would  climb  the  ¢old  dead  trees  that  rose  up  in  the  swamp  and  get  the  baby  birds  that  were   chirping  there.  They  would  open  their  mouths  wide  thinking  that  I  was  the  mother  bringing  them   worms.  Or  I  would  go  try  to  capture  the  leatherback  turtles  with  their  long  narrow  snouts  and  evil   looking  yellow  eyes  with  slit  pupils.  Sometimes  I  would  find  a  huge  snapping  turtle  with  a  beak  like   a  hawk  and  haul  it  up  to  the  house.  Then  there  were  the  science  fiction  and  fantasy  comics.  My   father  gave  me  $1  a  week  allowance  and  I  would  run  down  and  buy  ten  10¢  comics.  I  would  go   home,  get  an  apple  to  eat  and  spend  the  afternoon  in  glory.         So  now  I  am  in  New  York  City,  humming  and  diverse  cultural  capital  of  the  world!  Another  swamp,   but  filled  with  wonderful,  colorful  humans  of  every  stripe…blacks,  whites,  Jews,  Muslims,  Faith   Healers,  Evangelists,  drug  dealers,  murderers,  real  estate  magnates,  philanthropists,  artists,   actors…you  name  it.  This  is  a  great  city  for  an  artist…a  wonderful  swamp!  All  the  city  creatures   using  and  sometime  swallowing  each  other  up  in  their  need  to  survive.  They  are  like  Milton   scholars.  I  wrote  this  about  Milton  scholars:     Milton  scholars  in  heaps  they  run!   Some  to  undo,  others  to  be  undone!     _____    
  • 9.   9   Milton’s  England  of  the  17th  Century  was  volcanic.  New  forms  of  thought  and  action  thrust   through  encrusted  dying  ideas.  Under  Cromwell  England  was  remade.  King  Charles  I,  who  felt   anointed  by  God  was  executed  by  Parliament.  The  logic  of  the  accepted  ways  of  thinking,  the   rights  of  kings,  was  thus  toppled.  The  British  Empire  gathered  laurels  and  wealth  across  the   world  from  India  and  China  and  the  Americas  and  John  Milton  engaged  a  campaign  to  annex   poetry  itself.    They  put  the  past  to  the  flame.     The  light  and  the  dark,  God  and  Satan,  percolate  in  the  subconscious  and  in  their  excess   ejaculate  irrational  desires  and  fears  -­‐  the  fountain  of  surrealism.    The  Christian  Whites  had   enslaved  the  black  race  and  sent  them  to  work  in  plantations  in  the  new  world.  Slavery  is  not   new.  The  Pharos  enslaved  the  Jews.  The  Greeks  enslaved  the  Persians,  and  the  Romans   enslaved  the  Greeks.  We  whites  not  longer  enslave  the  blacks,  but  black  people  still  feel  the   bondage  and  oppression.  Blacks  are  still  struggling  to  be  accepted  and  equal.  Midway  through   the  Civil  Rights  movement,  Dr.  Martin  Luther  King  Jr.  ...  But  I've  come  to  believe  we're   integrating  into  a  burning  house.”.    Bienvenido  Bones  Banez  said  in  his  recent  verses,  “build   your  own  house  and  then  you  are  truly  free.”  I  agree  with  him!     Today  on  college  campuses  Social  justice  Warriors  fight  against  what  they  call  “institutional   racism.”  For  many  SJW’s  all  whites  are  racist  and  cannot  be  otherwise.  So  the  fight  is  against   white  people  or  whiteness  itself  not  just  an  unequal  system  of  justice.  That  belief  or  attitude  can   only  lead  to  racial  conflict  and  no  good  outcome.  Milton  in  Outer  Space  explores  this.

  • 11.   11   DIVERSITY     Diversity  of  values  leads  to  conflict.    Plato  knew  this  and  said  that  democracies  thus  pull  themselves   apart.  World  Communist  Socialism  requires  diversity  because  the  world  that  it  seeks  to  rule  is   diverse.  To  avoid  the  conflict  among  groups  and  individuals  it  must  impose  ruthless  totalitarianism,   rigid  rules  of  behavior,  to  keep  the  diverse  elements  from  attacking  each  other.  .    But  people  resist   authoritarianism  and  that  is  why  attempts  at  world  communism  fall  apart,  as  the  Soviet  Union   disintegrated  into  its  constituent  countries  or  identifiable  ethnic  groups.       Today,  not  having  learned  from  history,  the  Progressive  Liberals  in  the  United  States  extol  the  virtues   of  diversity,  wanting  to  create  a  cohesive  social  movement  and  a  unified  society.  It  is  very  much  like   Marx’s  “from  each  according  to  his  abilities,  and  to  each  according  to  his  needs.”     It  is  entirely  possible  that  Americans  will  be  duped  into  once  more  creating  that  kind  of  society…that   will  in  turn  fall  apart  from  a  defective  ideal.

  • 13.   13   SATAN  AS  A  BLACK  MAN   Terrance  Lindall   Explains   On  the  cover  of  my  GRAND  ELEPHANT  FOLIO,  that's  the  rebel  Satan  in  the   watermelon  patch.  The  signs  say  "No  Fishin',  No  Apple  Pickin'.”  Satan  does   both.  After  all  he  has  declared  in  Paradise  Lost    “To  do  ought  good  never   will  be  our  task,  But  ever  to  do  ill  our  sole  delight,    As  being  the  contrary  to   his  high  will  Whom  we  resist.”  Satan  lazily  holds  his  fishing  rod  between   his  legs  and  roasts  a  wiener  on  a  stick  between  his  toes.  He  has  also  picked   the  corn  in  Adam's  garden  and  trampled  the  field,  leaving  nothing  for   Adam.  The  book  reads  “The  Mind  is  its  own  place  and  can  make  a  heaven  of   hell,”  and  he  is  indeed  lying  comfortably  in  a  bed  of  flames.   When  the  New  York  Times  photographer,  a  black  lady,  came  for  my  2008   Milton  Festival  she  asked  why  my  Satan  was  painted  as  a  black  man.  I  told   her  because  no  matter  whether  you  are  black  or  white,  flesh  burnt  in  the   fires  of  hell  becomes  blackened.  On  the  other  hand  I  told  her  that  I  had  in   mind  that  black  people  were  in  rebellion  against  perceived  obstruction  to   integration  into  mainstream  society.  Blacks  were  rebels  in  the  1960’s  and   1970’s  burning  cities  and  rioting  and  they  continue  to  this  day.  They  march   in  protest  now  and  insist  on  tearing  down  confederate  and  other  statues   that  remind  them  of  their  perceived  past  and  present  persecution.  I  think   that  when  they  finish,  ideally  there  will  be  no  statues  of  white  people  at  all,   and  possibly  no  white  people.     I  do  not  consider  myself  to  be  a  racist.  When  I  ran  the  business  office  at  the   American  Numismatic  Society  I  had  a  terrific  black  lady  running  the   membership  office.  When  it  came  time  to  add  to  my  staff,  we  interviewed   several  candidates  and  we  selected  the  best  who  happened  to  be  another   black  lady.  I  did  not  choose  her  because  she  was  black,  but  because  she  was   the  best.  These  workers  were  dedicated  and  excellent.  I  ran  a  smooth   operation.      
  • 14.   14   In  any  case,  my  Satan  also  represents  Black  rebellion,  a  rebellion  that   metaphorically  wishes  to  take  the  throne  of  the  white  man,  just  as  Satan   wishes  to  take  the  throne  of  God.       Scott  Poole,  author  of  “Satan  in  America:  The  Devil  We  Know,”  says  the   linking  of  Satan  and  race  predates  American  history.  European  folklore   described  Satan  as  a  black  man,  and  the  Puritans  imported  these  notions,   and  raised  them  during  the  Salem  witch  trials  of  the  1690s.  They  actually   had  a  tendency  to  identify  all  racial  others  with  satanic  powers,   satanic  control.”       My  Satan  is  indolently  lounging  in  his  fire,  enjoying  it.  Thus  is   Satan  lazy,  idle,  slothful,  loafing,  &  shiftless,  lackadaisical,   inert,  sluggish,  lethargic,  torpid,  much  as  the  Black  man  in  history  has   been  "demonized.”     Milton  is  encased  here  in  a  Watermelon.  He  represents  the  fruit  of   knowledge.  From  The  Atlantic:  "...there  is  nothing  inherently  racist  about   watermelons.  But  cultural  symbols  have  the  power  to  shape  how  we  see   our  world  and  the  people  in  it.  These  symbols  have  roots  in  real  historical   struggles—specifically,  in  the  case  of  the  watermelon."  It  the  past  it   symbolized  the  simple  idiocy  of  the  Black  Man,  his  simple  delight  in   eating  the  delicious  fruit  not  mindful  of  anything  else,  again  as  black   people  have  been  demonized  in  their  portrayal  by  whites.       As  Blacks  in  America  continue  to  rebel  against  the  tyranny  of   their  mythical  white  oppressor  today,  so  Satan  rebels  against   the  mythical  tyranny  of  a  God  who  reduces  him  to  a  secondary  spirit.  In   Eden  one  cannot  eat  certain  fruits...knowledge  is  forbidden...kind  of  like   white  people  denying  an  education  to  Blacks.  Today  an  education  is  not   denied  to  anyone  and  anyone  can  start  a  business  and  get  rich.  But  the   myth  and  accusation  of  some  politicians  and  left  wing  progressives   remains  of  whites  denying  blacks.  The  accusation  is  a  useful  tool  to  shake   the  tree  of  the  nation’s  bounty  and  the  accusations  give  a  powerful  whip   to  the  left  wings  machinations  for  political  power.    
  • 15.   15   Maybe  blacks  continue  to  rebel  against  whites  because  of  an  inherited   rage  that  will  take  generations  to  burn  itself  out.  I  do  continue  to  hire   black  people  when  I  need  them.  They  are  generally  excellent  and   friendly.  I  believe  that  blacks  can  achieve  anything  they  set  their  minds   on.  I  think  they  should  devote  their  time  to  building  businesses  instead   of  being  left  wing  social  justice  warriors.  It  is  the  sure  way  to   prosperity  and  acceptance.  The  energy  and  money  they  use  to  assault   mythical  “white  privilege”  could  be  used  to  build  houses  and  do   productive  things  for  the  good  of  all  society.  The  assault  on  whiteness   only  makes  enemies  where  they  need  friends.     A black person was elected president of the United States. One has been a secretary of state and on the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Many are renowned scientists. In other words, blacks can achieve anything. But blacks are being convinced by Progressives that they are being held back. Human  history  that  we  know  of  is  only  about  5000  years.  I  do  not   know  how  all  of  the  issues  of  race  and  culture  will  evolve.  I  am  sure   there  will  be  conflicts  and  struggles  and  hopefully  a  coming  to  terms.   Maybe  it  will  take  another  5000  years.  Maybe  it  will  never  happen  and   maybe  one  side  will  exterminate  the  other.  I  will  not  take  sides.  I   believe  in  the  dialectic  of  the  universe.  I  believe  in  the  struggle  of   opposites,  the  fire  of  the  dialectic,  the  dross  will  burn  away  to  reveal   the  gold,  just  as  free  speech  contending  will  reveal  TRUTH.       My  Milton  in  Outer  Space  is  a  parody  of  the  racial/political  struggle.   When  Milton  returns  from  his  trip,  what  will  he  find  after  100  years???

  • 17.   17   MILTON  AS  FATHER  OF  SCIENCE  FICTION     In  Slate  Magazine  Katy  Waldman  discusses  John  Milton’s  Paradise  Lost  as   the  precursor  of  modern  science  fiction.  Surely  she  has  something  there.   Yes!  John  Milton—poet,  free  speech  advocate,  civil  servant,  classics   scholar—surely  must  have  inspired  writers  such  as  Asimov,  Bradbury,   Delaney,  and  the  rest.  As  Katy  said,  “Their  outlandish  other  worlds  owe  a   debt  to  his  (Milton’s)  visionary  mode  of  storytelling;  their  romance— characters  who  go  on  quests,  encounter  adversaries  at  portals,  channel  the   forces  of  light  and  dark—is  his  (Miltons’),  too.”     Milton  met  Galileo  in  1638,  and  surely  they  discussed  the  place  of  earth  and   man  in  the  cosmos.  As  Katy  says,  “…the  poem  is  studded  with  scientific   details—‘luminous  inferior  orbs’  churning  through  outer  space,   descriptions  of  sunspots  and  seasons…”  Milton  uses  Adam  in  Book  VIII  of   Paradise  Lost  to  present  astronomical    inquirey  of  cosmic  phenomenae.       In  Book  VI  Satan  invents  the  science  of  gunpowder:  “…Such  implements  of   mischief  as  shall  dash  To  pieces,  and  orewhelm  whatever  stands   Adverse.”  Thus  war  in  heaven  is  actually  the  first  intergalactic  battle  for   good  and  evil  with  new  weapons  of  science  as  in  any  hot  spurred  science   fiction  opera.       Thus  we  present  our  own  John  Milton  in  Outer  Space.  It  is  not  so  much   science  fiction  as  it  is  a  fantastical  ripping  tale.  There  is  a  lot  of  philosophy   sprinkled  throughout.            
  • 18.   18   Go  Milton  Go!  Burn  Baby  Burn!   THE  ARGUMENT  for  Terrance  Lindall’s  JOHN  MILTON  IN  OUTER  SPACE   An  excursion  into  the  dialectic   Conformity  backed  by  coercion  is  how  tribes,  nations  and  cultures  are  formed.  Meanwhile,   revolutionaries  in  those  groups  envision  a  better  way.  Milton’s  Satan  is  the  archetypal   revolutionary.  However,  Milton’s  Satan  was  not  searching  for  a  “better  way”  for  those  he  led,  rather   he  was  debased,  blinded  by  jealously  and  ambition,  monumentally  tragic,  yet  courageous   nonetheless.    If  action  is  also  a  form  of  speech,  then  Satan’s  rebellion  against  God  Himself  was  the   ultimate  in  free  speech.  Today,  the  left-­‐wing  Antifa  on  campus  justify  their  use  of  physical  violence   against  conservatives  rather  than  verbosity  because  “Fascism  is  not  to  be  debated.  It  is  to  be   smashed.”  Of  course  the  right  could  say  “Progressive  Stalinist  Mind  Washing  Liberalism  is  not  to  be   debated.  It  is  to  be  smashed.”  The  use  of  force  as  argument  is  called  an  ad  bachulum  fallacy  in   logic…resort  to  the  stick  when  words  will  not  convince.  Where  then  is  force  justified?  Is  war   inevitable,  ultimately  leading  to  justice?    “Milton  in  Outer  Space”  envisions  Milton  being  brought   back  to  our  time  to  assess  precepts  of  free  speech  and  the  justice  of  violence  in  a  multicultural,   multiracial  milieu.  Milton  must  assess  future  food  shortages  risking  starvation  for  billions,  the   replacement  of  humans  by  robots  in  the  work  force,  the  cynical  manipulation  of  the  population  by   left  wing  race  baiting  and  the  subsequent  blame  of  White  Christians  for  inequities  in  society  so  the   Left  can  get  votes  from  minorities,  soon  to  be  the  majority,  etc.  Would  Milton  advocate  free  speech   to  win  over  humanity  to  create  a  system  of  freedom  justice  and  equality?  Would  he  back  a  firebrand   like  Cromwell  to  bring  about  a  just  social  order?  Would  he  opt  for  the  dictatorship  of  a  philosopher   king  (possibly  a  supercomputer  to  indifferently  mete  out  justice)?  Would  Milton  abandon  the   current  human  condition  as  entirely  untenable  and  beyond  saving  and  go  in  search  of  a  New   Paradise?  What  would  that  New  Paradise  be  like?  Milton  for  moderns!!!  
  • 19.   19   Light  and  mind  are  manifestations  of  the  burning  universe.  Everything  is  on  fire.  Our  bodies  are   ovens  in  which  oxygen  combines  with  sugars  to  produce  heat  and  energy.  The  luminescence  that   allows  us  to  see  the  world  un-­‐blinded  and  the  luminescence  of  our  thought  is  a  product  of  that  fire.   The  dialectic  is  a  reflection  of  God’s  separating  the  light  from  the  dark.  In  the  beginning  was  The   Word.  God  said  “LET  THERE  BE  LIGHT!”  Thus  He  divided  the  light  from  the  dark.  Opposites  were   actualized  and  the  possibility  of  infinite  divisions  made  manifest.  This  is  the  Beginning,  the  "big   bang"  of  the  great  dialectic  of  creation  and  destruction  through  The  Word.  Just  as  the  binary   language  of  a  computer  can  create  informational  worlds  (meaning)  within  the  universe  of  the  hard   drive,  so  God  through  the  binary,  the  duality,  the  Dialectic  of  Light  and  Dark  (Being  &  Nothingness),   made  possible  all  things,  and  through  the  fulminations  of  “possibility  and  actuality  actualized”  as  in   Aristotle’s  Metaphysics  (created)  all  things…as  ideas  or  aspects  of  the  MIND  of  God.  So  in  fact,  in   God’s  WORD  we  see  that  speech  and  action  are  the  same.  The  WORD  takes  the  form  of  action   separating  light  and  dark  and  creating  the  world.  Action  is  a  form  of  speech...THE  WORD!  The   dialectic  of  argument,  in  philosophy  and  logic  pits  one  idea  against  the  other  and  THE   ILLUMINATION  OF  THE  FIRES  OF  THE  DILALECTIC  burns  away  the  dross  to  reveal  the  GOLD!!  It   separates  the  light  (the  good)  from  the  dark  (the  bad,  evil  or  the  deformed)…like  GOD!   THE  WORD  IS  ACTION  AND  THE  WORD  IS  VIOLENCE!  Today  in  our  American  conversation  about   college  campuses,  free  speech,  and  political  correctness  is  that  certain  forms  of  speech  cause   psychological  harm  to  students  that  administrators  have  an  obligation  to  eradicate  them  as  with   speeches  by  Charles  Murray  and  Milo  Yiannopoulos.  The  ones  opposed  to  speeches  by  these  men   used  violence  to  stop  them  on  the  predication  that  their  speeches  were  also  a  form  of  violence   (violent  ACTION).    In  an  article  in  New  York  Magazine  Jesse  Singal  writes   “Such  claims  of  harm  —  often  summed  up  as  “speech  is  violence”  —  aren’t  typically  invoked  in   response  to  actual  Nazis,  or  anything  like  that.  Rather,  they  are  used  to  argue  against  allowing   speakers  like  Murray  and  Yiannopoulos  —  who,  for  better  or  worse,  do  fit  in  the  conservative   mainstream  —  or  even  significantly  more  moderate  ones  like  Emily  Yoffe,  who  has  expressed   skepticism  about  certain  claims  pertaining  to  the  prevalence  of  sexual  assault  on  campus.  In  one   instance  students  successfully  canceled  a  showing  of  American  Sniper  by  arguing  the  film’s   ostensible  Islamophobia  would  make  “students  feel  unsafe  and  unwelcome”  —  though  the   screening  was  later  uncanceled.”  
  • 20.   20       Today  throughout  the  world  we  see  a  massive  dynamic  of  social  conflict.  In  America  it  is  currently   much  about  race  and  justice.  Most  people  just  want  to  live  in  peace,  have  a  place  to  live  and  enough   food  in  order  to  enjoy  life  and  perhaps  raise  a  family.  People  may  notice  that  their  neighbors  have   more,  perhaps  less.  This  may  lead  to  envy  or  jealousy  but  generally  does  not  lead  to  conflict  as  long  as   there  is  enough  to  go  around…unless  there  is  concerted  and  persistent  propaganda  by  intellectuals  and   elected  officials  and  other  leaders  to  foment  jealousies  for  their  own  purposes.  Revolutions  generally   occur  when  a  population  lacks  food  or  resources  as  in  the  French  Revolution  when  there  also  existed  a   wealthy  class  who  did  not  suffer  the  travails  of  the  poor.  Today  in  America  there  is  enough  food  and   shelter,  but  remarkably,  in  spite  of  government’s,  especially  Progressive  Democrats,  stated  claims  of   wishing  to  help  the  underprivileged,  the  disenfranchised  and  the  poorest  among  us,  nothing  changes,   and,  in  fact,  things  are  becoming  worse.  Rich  get  richer  and  poor  get  poor  whether  under  elected   Democrats  or  Republicans.  And  people  live  in  tent  cities  because  the  shelters  provided  for  the   homeless  by  the  government  are  dangerous,  housing  criminals  and  drug  addicts  as  well  as  ordinary   persons.  Americans  could  have  made  a  capitalistic  society  where  everyone  had  a  job  and  lived  with  a   modicum  of  satisfaction.  But  men  who  place  power  and  wealth  above  all,  including  Progressive   Liberals  and  Conservative  Republicans  etc.  have  created  a  divided  society  pitting  poor  against  the  rich   and  middle  class,  Black  against  White  against  Brown  to  get  votes.  Divide  and  conquer…and  confuse  and   suppress!  Distract  from  the  real  evil  of  the  power  brokers.       Great  idealist  writers  and  thinkers  down  through  history  have  written  about  utopias  and  dystopias.   Cromwell  and  Milton  both  envisioned  a  utopia.  Milton  was  influenced  by  Sir  Philip  Sidney's  prose   pastoral  epic,  Arcadia.  Jefferson  and  the  founding  fathers  envisioned  a  utopia  also,  based  upon  a   homogeneous  population  of  White  Christians  sharing  common  values  NOT  A  DIVERSE  SOCIETY  as   Progressives  promulgate  today.  Adolf  Hitler  was  an  idealist  as  was  Mao.  They  envisioned  a  perfect   world  and  meant  to  implement  their  vision  and  impose  it  on  the  rest  of  humanity.  The  rest  of  humanity   found  their  ideals  grisly.  More  relevant  to  our  times,  the  great  writers  and  thinkers  Aldus  Huxley,   George  Orwell  and  H.G.  Wells  lived  when  the  industrial  and  scientific  revolutions  of  the  19th  and  20th   centuries  gave  to  their  imaginations  the  possibilities  of  both  a  heaven  and  hell  of  an  immediate  future   for  mankind.  The  dystopian  1984  and  Animal  Farm  of  George  Orwell  are  meant  to  satirize  the  Soviet   Socialist  Marxist  Republic.  “All  animals  are  equal,  but  some  are  more  equal  than  others.”  Rather  sounds   like  Progressive  Liberals.    The  Progressive  Liberals  seem  to  be  a  consortium  of  victims…Blacks,  Gays,   Jews,  Muslims,  Lesbians,  cripples,  drug  addicts,  hopeless  criminals  who  want  a  second  chance,  poor,   disenfranchised  etc..how  convenient  that  they  all  vote!  And  the  Progressives  are  serving  up  the  White   Christian  as  fodder,  as  “the  victimizer”  against  whom  the  Progressives  will  defend  their  consortium.   The  Soviets  also  called  themselves  “Progressive.”  Same  people!    
  • 21.   21   There  is  a  saying,  “The  Left  eats  its  own.”  I  surmise  that  after  the  Progressives  get  rid  of  the  White   Christian  victimizer,  they  will  point  out  the  Jews  or  Muslims  as  new  victimizers  and  so  on  down  the   line  etc.  until  there  are  no  victims  or  victimizers  left  and  the  world  is  at  peace,  the  peace  of  the   graveyard.  Maybe  we  should  all  just  start  World  War  III  and  end  humanity  in  one  great  fireball.   Quicker,  less  painful!  I  think  that  we  can  do  without  that  kind  of  “progress.”  Another  visionary  writer   Jean  Raspail  wrote  another  vision  of  the  near  future,  The  Camp  of  the  Saints  in1973.  The  novel   depicts  a  setting  wherein  Third  World  mass  immigration  to  France  and  the  West  leads  to  the   destruction  of  Western  civilization.  It  is  precisely  what  is  happening  in  Europe  today!  He  is   considered  a  racist.  But  he  is  right  on  the  money.   I  have  often  said  “humanism  is  a  scorpion  that  will  sting  itself  to  death.”  What  do  I  mean?  My  fellow   visionary  Bienvenido  “Bones”  Banez  asked  me  to  elaborate.   In  Milton’s  Paradise  Lost,  as  Satan  contemplated  God,  he  “trusted  to  have  equaled  the  most  high.”    In   other  words,  he  held  up  Flanagan's  Mirror,  thus  blotting  out  the  light  of  God’s  truth  and  perfect   order,  and  in  that  mirror  Satan  saw  himself  as  God.  His  own  desires  were  now  the  criteria  of  Truth   and  Justice.  Satan  rejected  the  order  of  God’s  Love  and  he  was  now  on  his  own  to  determine  what  is   good  and  bad.   The  seduction  of  Adam  and  Eve  by  Satan  also  left  Adam  and  Eve  cut  off  from  the  order  and  law  of   God.  That  is  loss  of  Eden,  where  humans  knew  their  boundaries  and  were  happy  in  God’s  orderly   garden.  Now  God  left  them  to  be  on  their  own.  Adam  &  Eve  had  decided  to  disobey  God’s  Law  and   now  God  left  them  to  create  their  own  laws  and  humanism  was  born.  Yes,  indeed,  Satan  inspired   humanism  and  it  was  the  only  recourse  to  man  after  the  fall.  What  is  humanism?   From  the  Wikipedia  article:  "Humanism  can  be  considered  as  a  process  by  which  truth  and  morality   is  sought  through  human  investigation."  In  other  words,  truth  and  morality  are  found  by  holding  up   Flanagan’s  Mirror  and  examining  ourselves  in  relation  to  the  world,  not  by  receiving  any  revelation   from  God  or  his  appointed  messengers  on  earth,  most  notably  the  Pope.  In  investigating  our  relation   to  others  and  ourselves,  humanism  seems  to  have  arrived  at  the  conclusion  that  judgment  of  good   and  bad  are  relative  to  each  person.  For  example,  it  may  be  good  for  one  man  to  kill  another  to   preserve  his  family,  but  is  it  good  for  the  family  whose  member  has  been  killed?     In  the  King’s  Torah  subscribed  to  by  some  Orthodox  Jews,  it  is  permissible  to  kill  Gentiles  who  might   pose  a  future  threat  of  Jews.    Rabbi  Yitzhak  Shapiro,  who  heads  the  Od  Yosef  Chai  Yeshiva  in  the   Yitzhar  settlement,  wrote  in  his  book  "The  King's  Torah"  that  even  babies  and  children  can  be  killed   if  they  pose  a  threat  to  the  nation.  He  says,  "It  is  permissible  to  kill  the  Righteous  among  Nations   even  if  they  are  not  responsible  for  the  threatening  situation,"  he  wrote,  adding:  "If  we  kill  a  Gentile   who  has  sinned  or  has  violated  one  of  the  seven  commandments  -­‐  because  we  care  about  the   commandments  -­‐  there  is  nothing  wrong  with  the  murder."  Unfortunately,  the  Muslims  and   Christians  may  also  believe  it  is  right  just  to  kill  Orthodox  Jews  such  as  Rabbi  Shapiro  who  might   decide  in  future  to  kill  all  Gentiles  preemptively,  having  perceived  all  gentiles  as  a  possible  future   threat.  Therefore  Gentiles  might  decide  to  do  a  preemptive  strike,  as  Hitler  did  in  fact  attempt.  Thus   to  prevent  chaos  from  such  dilemmas  regarding  good  an  evil  (bad)  as  relative,  the  secular  nations   create  secular  laws  and  a  system  of  justice.  We  recreate  God  (final  absolute  authority)  as  a  form  of   Government  and  all  are  judged  under  its  aegis.  And  the  League  of  Nations,  the  United  Nations  and   The  EU  are  just  the  beginning  attempts  at  a  secular  humanist  world  order  of  government.

  • 23.   23   What  about  secular  communism  and  capitalism  as  options  for  a  truly  humanist  society?       Communists;  through  “human  investigation”  and  experience  have  examined  the  human  condition  and   found  that  they  can  achieve  the  closest  thing  to  paradise  on  earth  by  following  the  principle  that  “from   each  man  according  to  his  abilities,  and  to  each  man  according  to  his  needs.”    However,  they  also   understand  that  leadership  is  required.  Some  have  decided  that  the  “abilities”  that  they  wish  to  donate   for  the  general  good  falls  to  "leadership"  of  the  rest.  As  leaders,  they  must  represent  their  flock  with   dignity.  As  such  they  must  entertain  with  the  best  victuals,  ride  in  fine  limousines  and  fly  in  private  jets.   They  must  also  maintain  order.  No  unqualified  upstart  potential  leaders  like  Ghandi  or  Christ  or  the   Dalai  Lama  should  usurp  their  own  powers.    Those  who  presume  to  be  taller  than  the  rest  must  be   extirpated  from  the  body  social  –  they  rock  the  boat  and  make  others  feel  inferior.  That  is  humanism  in   its  ultimate  form,  for  the  good  of  all,  not  the  one.       But  sheep  are  for  sheering.    All  men  are  equal,  but  in  that  flock  most  are  for  sheering  by  those  who  are   more  equal  than  the  rest.    Same  with  capitalism  and  democracy,  we  are  a  flock  under  the  careful  watch   of  our  virtuous  leaders  who  talk  about  their  concern  for  the  people.  We  the  flock  are  sheep  and  sheep   are  for  sheering!      Look  at  the  bailout  of  the  banks  in  2008-­‐9…who  got  sheered?  Who  did  the  sheering?   Instead  of  creating  jobs  programs  when  unemployment  reached  9  %  so  that  people  could  pay  their   mortgages  to  and  spend  money  to  sustain  a  weak  economy,  the  politicians  who  receive  huge   contributions  from  Wall  Street  gave  vast  sums  of  money  to  Goldman  Sachs  who  was  “too  big  to  fail.”   Now  in  2011the  brokers  at  Goldman  Sachs,  who  actually  caused  the  economic  crash  by  creating   instrument  they  knew  would  explode,  are  receiving  record  bonuses!     SEEKING  Humanistic  SOLUTIONS  TO  THE  COMING  CRISIS  IN  AMERICA  IN  THE  NEXT  TWENTY  YEARS:   The  economic  meltdown  in  2008  was  the  first  wave  of  a  series  of  crises  that  will  affect  America,   especially  America’s  cities  in  the  coming  two  decades.    Unemployment  was  hovering  around  9%   officially  and  was  actually  much  higher.  Members  of  America's  once  thriving  middle  class,  unemployed   and  unable  to  pay  their  bills,  were  forced  from  their  homes  and  not  be  able  to  afford  rent.  Tent  cities   sprang  up  all  over  the  United  States.       In  order  to  keep  social  order,  government  and  media  will  downplay  the  crisis.      
  • 24.   24   The  rise  of  temperatures  worldwide  is  now  creating  severe  droughts  and  extreme  weather  is   affecting  crops  and  livestock.    The  now  periodic  droughts  and  famine  in  Africa  are  creating  an   exodus  of  its  population  to  the  safe  haven  of  Europe,  which  will  not  be  a  safe  haven  for  long.  All   this  while  the  world’s  7  billion  population  continues  to  expand  devouring  diminishing  non-­‐ renewable  resources,  especially  oil  that  had  in  fact  created  the  agricultural  revolution  that  was   able  to  feed  the  world  up  until  now.  Steve  Jones,  head  of  the  biology  department  at  University   College  London,  has  said,  "Humans  are  10,000  times  more  common  than  we  should  be,  according   to  the  rules  of  the  animal  kingdom,  and  we  have  (oil  based)  agriculture  to  thank  for  that.”  The   looming  scarcity  of  food  means  that  food  will  be  supplied  to  the  highest  bidder.  Hunger  and  even   starvation  in  America  will  become  commonplace,  and  government  will  be  able  to  do  little  about  it.   Government  will  make  sure  that  the  working  class;  the  military,  the  police  and  property  owners   will  not  go  hungry,  as  resources  are  husbanded.  As  unemployment  and  hunger  increase,  these   men  will  resort  to  criminal  activities.  People  do  what  they  must  to  survive.       What  can  be  done  to  protect  the  residents  and  decent  citizens  in  this  and  other  cities  in  the  United   States?  Not  much!   THE  GOVERNMENT  MUST  STEP  IN   We  have  been  tossed  from  the  garden  of  peace  and  plenty,  so,  to  keep  order,  the  humanist   government  must  step  in  before  matters  escalate  into  warfare  between  these  violent  criminals   and  the  resident  working  populace  and  they  will  definitely  step  in  to  protect  the  rich  men  who  are   tending  this  flock.  The  useful  working  class,  soon  to  be  replaced  by  robots,  is  multitudinous  and   some  are  expendable  as  buffers  between  the  starving  and  the  rich.  The  rich  and  politically   powerful  know  that  they  must  be  protected  at  all  cost  (the  ostensible  practice  of  humanism)!   Possibly  labor  camps  will  be  devised  where  these  wretched  men  can  be  watched,  fed  and   provided  with  work  that  will  be  of  benefit  to  society.  But  that  they  can  provide  useful  work  is   doubtful  in  lieu  of  robots.   CONSEQUENCES  IF  THE  GOVERNMENT  DOES  NOT  STEP  IN   Already  the  police  are  called  frequently  to  settle  conflicts  between  the  right  and  the  left,  both  sides   self-­‐righteous.  These  conflicts  will  grow  as  hunger  and  need  and  hopelessness  drive  them.  In  the   near  future  the  government,  already  strapped  for  resources,  will  not  even  be  able  to  accommodate   these  people  in  prisons  after  they  commit  crimes  of  desperation.  It  will  be  a  waste  of  food  and   resources  that  are  better  given  to  useful  citizens.  What  will  the  humanist  government  do  then   with  the  approval  of  the  “decent”  citizens?  Let  them  starve  or  euthanasia?

  • 28.   28   THE STORY In April 1667, Isaac Newton came to Cambridge and in October was elected as a fellow of Trinity. Fellows were required to become ordained priests, although this was not enforced in the restoration years and an assertion of conformity to the Church of England was sufficient. Here he met John Milton who was about to publish his grand opus Paradise Lost. Newton described to Milton his attempts to extract scientific information from the Bible, he estimated that the world would end no earlier than 2060. In predicting this he said, "This I mention not to assert when the time of the end shall be, but to put a stop to the rash conjectures of fanciful men who are frequently predicting the time of the end, and by doing so bring the sacred prophesies into discredit as often as their predictions fail." Newton was so taken with Milton's work that he gave Milton a work on alchemy by which Milton's remains would be "preferrved" and resurrected in 350 years, so he could help save humanity from the dire straights in which it would find itself. At Milton's Cottage, Chalfont, in 2015, the new business manager finds a letter indicating that it is not to be opened until 2015. She opens it and reads the contents to find the startling discovery that Milton can be resurrected with Newton’s formulae! Calling on scholars from Cambridge University, Milton is revived to undertake the task of saving humanity. In January 2017 they travel to America to address the Milton convention and later to Williamsburg Brooklyn to discuss the matter with philosopher and Milton illustrator Terrance Lindall. They are subsequently put in contact with Trump advisor Elon Musk who agrees to build a spaceship for John Milton and provide a crew to "explore outer space for a new paradise." The adventure has begun! Space aliens, galactic battles between forces of evil and good...and more! FACTS: In 1888, after spending sixteen years cataloging Newton's papers, Cambridge University kept a small number and returned the rest to the Earl of Portsmouth. In 1936, a descendant offered the papers for sale at Sotheby’s. The collection was broken up and sold for a total of about £9,000. John Maynard Keynes was one of about three dozen bidders who obtained part of the collection at auction. Keynes went on to reassemble an estimated half of Newton's collection of papers on alchemy before donating his collection to Cambridge University in 1946. All of Newton's known writings on alchemy are currently being put online in a project undertaken by Indiana University: "The Chymistry of Isaac Newton".
  • 29.   29   John  Milton  is  confronted  with  several  options.  One  is  from  a  mysterious  and  brilliant  person  named   Ladnil  Yerret  who  describes  his  overview  of  the  human  condition  and  the  history  of  Space  Aliens   who  conceived  of  human  beings  as    a  genetic  experiment.  Yerret  proposes  to  take  up  where  the   aliens  left  off.  Milton  is  horrified  at  tampering  with  “God’s  creation”  and  he  begins  to  have  doubts   about  his  own  biblical  beliefs.     Other  options  are  to  create  a  socialist  communist  dictatorship  and  by  behavioral  psychology  modify   human  behavior.  Mankind  would  not  then  improve  but  remain  static  and  uncreative.  As  to  what   behavior  would  be  acceptable,  who  was  to  judge.  Should  it  advocate  extermination  of  the  weak  to   make  the  race  strong,  or  should  the  weak  be  protected,  a  Christian  virtue?  Should  we  eliminate  the   variety  of  races  selecting  only  the  most  “advanced”  in  order  to  eliminate  diversity,  competition  and   conflict?  Should  we  simply  allow  the  conflict  to  play  out  naturally  so  that  the  “fittest”  prove  their   worthiness  as  survivors  (the  way  nature  works)?     In  the  end  Milton  comes  upon:     The  7  Heavens  Solution!

  • 34.   34   The  dreams  were  wholly  beyond  the  pale  of  the  ordinary,  and  Terrance  felt  that  they   must  be  a  result  of  his  studies  in  mathematics,  and  descriptions  of  Heaven  and  Hell  in   Paradise  Lost.  He  had  been  thinking  too  much  about  the  vague  regions  which  Newton’s   formulae  told  him  must  lie  beyond  the  three  dimensions  we  know,  and  about  the   possibility  that  old  Isaiah  Fesnik  had  actually  found  the  location  of  those  regions,   thereby  his  disappearance.  .       As  for  Isaiah’s  wife,  witnesses  in  town  spoke  of  some  such  creature  appearing  and   disappearing  and  the  descriptions  were  that  it  was  evilly  human  while  its  hands  were   like  tiny  human  hands.    Its  voice  was  a  kind  of  loathsome  twittering,  and  it  could  mind   project  in  all  languages.  Nothing  filled  Terrance  with  greater  panic  than  the  possibility   of  meeting  this  hybrid  “thing”  whose  imagined  form  in  his  nightmares  was  more   frightening  than  anything  his  waking  mind  could  conjure.     Terrance’s  dreams  consisted  largely  in  plunges  through  limitless  abysses  of   inexplicably  colored  outer  space  and  bafflingly  disordered  sound;  abysses  whose   physical  and  gravitational  properties,  he  could  not  even  begin  to  explain  by  his  studies   of  earthly  science.  He  did  not  fly  in  bodily  form,  yet  always  experienced  a  mode  of   motion  partly  voluntary  and  partly  involuntary  of  mind  separated  from  body,  yes  with   sight  and  sound  even  without  the  eyes  and  ears.  And  when  he  awoke,  sight  of  his  arms,   legs,  and  torso  seemed  oddly  disarranged  and  out  of  perspective.     Next  Episode:  Across  the  Pond  in  Merry  England  
  • 35.   35   Episode  1  1/2:  “A  Mind  not  to  be  changed  by  Time  or  Place”  Paradise  Lost         John  Milton  woke  up  in  his  bedroom  in  Chalfont.  He  had  that   vaguely  pleasant  lazy  feeling  one  has  after  a  good  nights  sleep   with  pleasant  dreams  on  a  fine  spring  morning.  That  might  not   have  been  unusual  if  the  year  had  been  1674  or  any  of  the  years   prior  to  that.  What  he  did  not  know  was  that  it  was  the  year   2016.  And  he  was  also  beginning  to  realize  that  he  could  see,  an   astounding  thing  since  he  had  blind  for  the  past  several  years.   “This  is  a  dream,”  he  thought.  Or  was  I  a  miracle?  But  it  was   neither,  which  he  was  soon  to  find  out.  The  room  looked  familiar,  but  also  different  in   some  ways.  He  rose  from  bed  and  swung  his  legs  to  the  side  of  the  bed.  He  looked  down   at  his  hands.  They  were  not  the  hands  of  a  sixty  some  year  old  man.  They  were  a  young   man’s  hands!  He  got  up  excitedly  and  walked  across  to  the  mirror.  Staring  back  at  him   was  the  handsome  face  of  his  youth  with  the  reddish  brown  hair  of  which  the  ladies   liked.  How  was  this  possible?  He  put  on  the  robe  that  was  laid  across  the  chair  and  went   over  to  the  door  and  opened  it.  What  he  saw  was  like  nothing  he  had  seen  or  could  have   imagined.  This  from  an  imagination  that  had  conjured  up  the  grand  scope  Heaven  and   Hell  and  everything  in  between  in  his  great  masterpiece  Paradise  Lost!     John  Dugdale,  Trustee  of  Milton  Cottage.  Chalfont,    saw  the  door  open  and  jumped  up.  He   knew  that  John  Milton  would  soon  be  awake  and  was  waiting  in  the  outer  room  for  that   momentous  event.  He  and  his  business  director  Kelly  O’Reilly  wanted  Milton  to  awake  in   a  familiar  environment  and  not  in  a  hospital  or  laboratory  setting.  John  walked  over  to   Milton  and  took  his  hand  warmly  in  his  own  and  smiled,  saying,  “Welcome  to  the  21st   century  after  your  long  sleep.  You  have  a  lot  to  catch  up  with  and  we  are  here  to  help!”   The  language  spoken  by  Bradley  was  somewhat  odd  in  inflection,  but  not  overly   unfamiliar  and  was  clearly  a  form  of  English.  Yes  indeed  Milton  was  in  a  state  of  mild   shock  and  wonderment…

  • 37.   37   Episode  2:  The  Indian  Well  of  Peter  Minuit…“Regions  of  sorrow,  doleful  shades,   where  peace    and  rest  can  never  dwell”  Paradise  Lost     Here we return to Williamsburg Brooklyn, since this is the seat of the wonders that brought back Milton to his youth in the 21st century. But we do not return to Williamsburg in our time. We must now retreat even further back to the year 1626 in the month of May on an island off the coast of the New World. Peter Minuit, was a Walloon from Wesel, in present-day North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, then part of the Duchy of Cleves. His surname means "midnight". He was Director of the Dutch colony of New Netherland from 1626 until 1631, and founded the Swedish colony of New Sweden in 1638. Peter stands in a grove of oaks with several other men. One of the other men is a Red Indian of powerful stature and in an elaborate headdress. The Indian’s arms are folded across his chest. A chest is opened and several of the chief s braves inspect the contents, holding them up before their chief. The chief nods approval of the treasure and a pipe is brought forth to smoke in the Indian tradition of sealing the bargain. And a deerskin scroll with Indian signs is handed to Peter Minuit from the Chief of the Manhatta Tribes from across the river. Manhattan Island, the land upon which the greatest city of the 20th Century would stand 200 hundred years later was bought for the sum of twenty-four dollars worth of beads. Unknown to historians, this transaction did not take place on the Island of Manhattan, but across the river on a larger island the Dutch called Breukelen or broken land, now called Brooklyn. It was here that this episode of history took place because this was the place of the Manhatta spiritual rituals. Women and children were forbidden. Only initiated men were allowed to visit. And some who did visit and were of unclean spirit contracted a strange wasting disease and bled from their pours and died quickly. It was here where abided the Indian Well, a place of spirits and much manna. It was to be another gift to the White chief of the Dutch, Peter Minuit, to build a fine home. As a final gesture of spiritual release of the lands of their forefathers, the Medicine man tosses an offering of one string of beads into the Indian well, Minuit looks down onto the mysterious well as the beads fall, never seeming to reach the bottom where a green luminescence pulsed. Days later, Minuit had this well covered over with a lead hatch from his ship. His men and their families feared the damnable heathen hole, a place of devils, as they expressed it. Minuit had the lead cover embossed with a prayer and a curse in Latin, which translated read, HERE LIES THE WAY THAT OUT OF HEATHEN HELL LEADS TO A NEW CHRISTIAN LAND, AND THAT PLACE THAT HEREIN LIES IS NEVER MORE TO BE UNCOVERED EXCEPT THAT HE WHO DOES SO BE CURSED EVERMORE AND BANNED FROM THE HOME OF MAN. And further in Dutch, HERE PETER MINUIT DID BUY FOR HIS CHRISTIAN KING A HOME FOR HIS CHRISTIAN SERVANTS.  
  • 38.   38   There are a pair of similar wells in Portugal spiraling deep within the earth. The wells were never used, nor intended for water collection. Instead, these mysterious underground towers were used for secretive initiation rites. The cultural landscape upon which this Quinta da Regaleira sits dates back thousands of years. There are archaeological sites in the area dating back to the early Neolithic (5 th millennium BC) and extending all the way through to the Iron Age (4 th – 2 nd centuries BC). The Roman occupation of the region began in the mid-2 nd century BC and it was later conquered by the Moors. The Quinta da Regaleira is a vast estate that has had many owners throughout the years, each contributing their own personal touch. In 1904, it was sold to António Augusto Carvalho Monteiro, a wealthy Portuguese entomologist, that the estate was transformed into a unique palace adorned with symbolic carvings associated with Masonry According to Shaurya Smarak, “The pair of wells, known as the ‘Initiation Wells’ or ‘Inverted Towers’, consist of ‘winding stair’ architecture, which carries symbolic meaning including the death/rebirth allegory common to many hermetic traditions. “One of the wells contains nine platforms, which are said to be “reminiscent of the Divine Comedy by Dante and the nine circles of Hell, the nine sections of Purgatory and the nine skies which constitute Paradise.” A smaller well, called the “Unfinished Well,” contains a set of straight staircases, connecting the ring-shaped floors to one another. It is believed that the spacing of the landings, as well as the number of steps in between were dictated by Masonic principles.” So our Indian well of Peter Minuit has matching wells in Portugal and perhaps in many other parts of the world dating back who knows how far!  
  • 39.   39   Episode 2 ½: The computer: “Such implements of mischief as shall dash To pieces, and orewhelm whatever stands…” John  Milton  had  spent  the  last  two  months  learning  how  to  use  the  computer  that  had  been  provided   by  John  Dugdale.  What  an  instrument  that  could  reach  out  to  the  world  and  provide  moving  pictures   so  what  was  happening  anywhere  at  the  every  moment!!!  He  read  the  news  articles  and  explored  the   history  of  the  world  since  he  had  died  in  1674.  He  was  fascinated  and,  even  more,  he  as  horrified  at   how  humanity  had  devolved  over  the  period.  He  thought  to  himself,  quoting  Khan  in  the  Star  Trek   episode  Space  Seed,    “I  am  surprised  how  little  improvement  there  has  been  in  human  evolution.  Oh,   there  has  been  technical  advancement,  but,  how  little  man  himself  has  changed.“  Essentially  the   progress  of  man  since  the  Greeks  up  to  England  of  the  17th  century  was  the  same,  technical   advancement,  yet  hatred,  war,  greed  and  the  all  of  rest  of  human  generated  misery  endured.    Empires   had  risen  and  fallen,  man  had  invented  machines  and  new  sciences,  but  still  man  suffered,  to  quote   Gibbon  from  his  Rise  and  fall  of  the  Roman  Empire  “from  vicissitudes  of  fortune,  which  spares  neither   man  nor  the  proudest  of  his  works,  which  buries  empires  and  cities  in  a  common  grave.”  Also  from   Gibbon,  Milton  viewed  mans  journey  as  “…a  long  period  of  distress  and  anarchy,  in  which  empire,  and   arts,  and  riches,  had  migrated  from  the  banks  of  the  Tiber,  [but]  man  was  incapable  of  restoring  or   adorning.”  And  further,    the  human  condition  Gibbon  noted  “…and,  as  all  that  is  human  must   retrograde  if  it  do  not  advance,  [so]  every  successive  age  must  have  hastened  the  ruin  of…”  what   great  achievements  of  thought  that  had  gone  before.        
  • 40.   40   Milton  was  awed  by  the  expansion  of  his  island  nation  of  England  in  in  the  18th  and  19th  centuries.  By   1913,  the  British  Empire  held  sway  over  412  million  people,  23%  of  the  world  population  at  the  time,  and   by  1920,  it  covered  35,500,000  km2  (13,700,000  sq  mi),[24%  of  the  Earth's  total  land  area.  It  could  only   be  accounted  for  by  the  strategic  intelligence  of  its  leadership  and  the  ingenuity  of  its  science,  industry   and  military.  It  surpassed  Alexander  the  great  in  ambition.  But  dominance  is  fraught  with  difficulties.  It   had  several  tigers  by  the  tail.       Milton  was  also  astounded  by  the  rapid  development  of  science  an  industry. Anglo  Saxons  subsequent  to   his  death  in  1674  had  invented  the  airplane,  radio,  television,  electric  lights,  the  telephone,  moving   pictures,  automobiles,  steam  ships,  modern  rockets,  landed  on  the  moon,  established  modern  medicine,   produced  vibrant  capitalism  and  much  more.  It  was  unimaginable  that  humans  could  do  this  without   some  guidance  from  somewhere…     The  political  makeup  of  societies  he  had  always  been  concerned  with,  hence  his  involvement  with  the   Reformation.  He  noted  that  the  strength  of  American  democracy  and  economy  had  been  born  of  slavery.   While  the  British  slave  trade  was  already  in  full  gear  by  Milton’s  own  time,  he  saw  that  British  anti-­‐ slavery  agitators  justified  their  own  cause  with  Milton’s  republican  tenets  on  "native  liberty.”  But  Milton   had  not  taken  into  consideration  racial  and  non-­‐Christian  elements  of  the  society  he  now  beheld  in  those   tenets.  He  had  based  his  arguments  before  on  a  more  or  less  racial  and  religious  homogeneity.  He  noted   that  his  friend  Dryden,  undertaking  the  noble  task  of  freeing  "the  fetter’d  Slave"  meant  to  include  the   civilizing  of  former  black  slaves.  But  neither  could  foresee  that  the  numerical  increase  of  that  population   might  create  a  shift  in  social  position  and  power  in  a  democracy.     Cultural  relativism  and  the  archaic  idea  of  the  cyclical  rise  and  fall  of  empires  contributed  to  a  strand  of   anxiety  running  through  the  development  of  American  theories  of  democracy.  It  was  Milton’s  idea  that   the  master-­‐slave  relationship  was  depraved,  although  in  some  instances  it  was  justified  as  in  Ham’s  curse.   In  other  words,  those  who  committed  a  wrong  against  society  were  justly  enslaved  (imprisoned  and  their   labor  used  for  the  benefit  of  society).       Milton  noted  that  after  World  War  I,  America  became  the  global  hegemonic  power  and  adopted  the  role   of  a  global  police  force.  It  strived  to  impose  American  democratic  values  on  other  nations  of  diverse  racial   ethnic  and  religious  constitutions.  The  developments  of  a  Lockean  work  ethic,  the  division  of  labor,  and   the  elimination  of  the  progressive  racialization  of  slavery  that  had  earlier  allowed  the  transformation  and   growth  of  agrarian  and  industrial  America  was  now  gone.  Now  its  former  slaves  were  paid  labor.  Milton   in  reading  this  history  feared  that  the  formerly  enslaved  might  not  be  fit  to  use  their  newly  found   freedom.  He  note  that  this  view  was  echoed  in  plans  for  gradual  abolition  and  emancipation,  as  argued  by   Edmund  Burke,  Coleridge,  and  Macaulay.       Up  to  the  21st  century  the  American  experiment  seemed  to  be  working.  Eventually  the  separation  of  the   races  in  housing  and  schooling  had  been  abolished.  Yet,  races  still  tended  to  keep  themselves  separate   although  there  was  now  some  intermarriage.  The  Jews  seemed  to  assimilate  readily  with  the  white   Christians  rather  well,  and  in  fact  they  prospered  after  their  remarkable  culminating  experience  with  Jew   hatred  in  Nazi  Germany.      
  • 41.   41   Milton  was  pleased  that  since  his  writing  his  Aereopagitica,  censorship  of  books  significantly  and   steadily  decreased,  at  least  in  the  United  Kingdom,  the  United  States  and  other  Western  democracies.   But  even  in  those  countries  efforts  to  ban  books  from  public  libraries  has  continued.  During  the  first   decade  of  the  21st  Century,  the  American  Library  Association  documented  more  than  4,000  attempts  to   have  various  book  removed  from  local  libraries  here  in  the  US.  Some  modern  self-­‐appointed  censors   want  to  ban  books  that  conflict  with  their  religious  or  political  views.  Some  want  to  block  access  to   books  they  deem  “pornographic.”  Other  reasons  given  for  requesting  books  to  be  banned  from  American   libraries  in  recent  years  include  things  like  sexism,  “anti-­‐family”  content  and  uses  of  the  N-­‐word,  one  of   the  common  complaints  lodged  against  Mark  Twain’s  classic  novel  Huckleberry  Finn.  And  some  wanted   to  ban  Shakespeare  as  being  anti-­‐semitic.       Milton  noted  that  as  the  racial  demographics  tip  toward  people  for  color,  there  were  more  cries  from   “people  of  color”  about  overcoming  of  the  racist  legacy  of  White  Western  exploitation  of  the  genius  and   labor  of  Black  &  Hispanic  peoples.  November  2016:  “CNN  Newsroom,”  CNN  Political  Commentator  and   former  National  Press  Secretary  to  Democratic  presidential  candidate  Senator  Bernie  Sanders  (I-­‐VT)   Symone  Sanders  argued,  “we  don’t  need  white  people  leading  the  Democratic  Party  right  now.  The   Democratic  Party  is  diverse,  and  it  should  be  reflected  as  so  in  our  leadership.”  Milton  could  see  the  drift   of  things.  There  were  also  courses  being  taught  at  universities  on  “overcoming  white  privilege.”  At  least   in  America,  there  was  developing  a  systematic  program  of  de-­‐legitimization  of  the  white  European   Christian  world  much  like  the  de-­‐legitimization  of  the  Jews  in  Nazi  Germany.     There  were  many  more  thoughts  and  more  to  examine  on  the  internet.       Milton  was  absorbing  all  of  this  and  thinking.  And  there  was  that  nagging  question  that  John  Dugdale   had  never  answered,  id  est,  why  was  he  brought  back  and  by  what  science.       Finally  John  Dugdale  came  into  Milton’s  study  and  announced,  “it’s  time  to  get  your  questions   answered!”
