Robert A. Heinlein`s History And Moral Philosophy With Lieutenant Colonel Jean V. Dubois (Retired)

 

Aside from the subject material of Robert A. Heinlein`s Starship Troopers (1959), which is an interplanetary war between the arachnids of Klendathu and the Earth, the central topic led the book to be unpublishable by Heinlein`s usual publisher Scribner`s, and indeed almost caused a general ban. Members of the American Library Association objected to its supposed `fascist` content based on the teaching of History and Moral Philosophy, by Lt Col Jean V Dubois at the military academy where the starship troopers are trained. Critics have deemed that the novel`s society is loosely definable as `Roman`; for example, H. Bruce Franklin`s Robert A. Heinlein: America as Science Fiction (1980) observes that the principle of citizenship in return for service to the state is a basic tenet of fascism. Paul Verhoeven, director of the movie, Starship Troopers (1997), disparaged the way the film was sold to cinema audiences: `They couldn't see that all I have done is ironically create a fascist utopia.`1 Because a fascist utopia is what fascist dictators want, although it could be argued that directors are dictators, and therefore societies that are governed, rather than directed, have a better chance of surviving. The basic symbol of Roman power was the fasces, which was a bundle of wood and an axe signifying Roman planning. Planners would build a hide after chopping wood with an axe. Undisturbed within the hide they`d design an encampment; for example. When the Italians elected Benito Mussolini in 1922 he became Roman dictator with the fasces as his emblem. In 1933 the German National Socialist (Nazi) Party of Adolf Hitler was elected and he became dictator with the fasces as his emblem borrowed from Rome`s Mussolini. When the Nazis began to construct `concentration camps` for the Jews, which became `death camps` where the exterminated Jews were burned in ovens after the Nazis had finished with those enslaved people, the fasces symbol was discredited and so was fascism because, with the power of a film director, Hitler dictated a war and a pogrom.

 

 

 Starship Troopers, as directed by Paul Verhoeven in the 1997 movie, is of the writer Heinlein, as a budding director, whose ideology is presented by Lt. Col. Jean V. Dubois, professor of History and Moral Philosophy. Heinlein`s nascent directorship was heavily criticized by the reviewers, because its morality was Roman and `fascistoid`: `A soldier accepts personal responsibility for the safety of the body politic of which he is a member, defending it, if need be, with his life. The civilian does not.`2 Society wouldn`t want to be directed by Heinlein, although the mass media Empire of Hollywood, Los Angeles, on the west coast of California, USA, presents fascist dictatorship as being what filmmakers are about, which is why Verhoeven complained: `... so-called advanced people are without libido.` They haven`t appetite for sex, or for building. The Nazis` slave labor camps used the libido of the enslaved to serve the jaded appetite of the fascists. After the slaved producers were consumed in the ovens of Belsen, Auschwitz, and Dachau, etc., the camps were destroyed, because that`s the directorship cycle, which isn`t sexual-constructional. In the 1930s, the set of King Kong (1933), a movie about a woman who could be held in the fist of a giant gorilla, was kept by the film studio as a souvenir, but in the making of a movie about an American woman seeking to live through the Civil war of 1861-65, Gone With The Wind (1939), the RKO Culver City, Ca., set of King Kong was burnt to simulate the burning of Charleston, because film directors are dictators, and the danger is for politicians to be dictated by such directors, which is why the society of women shouldn`t want it.

 Political directors build, and destroy what`s been built; for example, `the projects` was the US` name for alienating tenements to which communities were forcibly removed, because dictators are for hating the people as aliens for those without sexual libido, that is, appetite. Consequently, the alienated are those that the alien hates, because it only wants humans as `cannon fodder` for its wars, so they mustn`t have sexual appetite for reproduction, and the concomitant desire to develop space for living, which the Nazis termed `lebensraum`. Their `project` was alienation for the hated Jews, who were an alien nation extinguished in their `projects`, while `living space` for the native Germans was pursued through warfare, because that`s what invading aliens do. As the set of King Kong was destroyed to simulate the burning of Charleston, the giant gorilla`s invasive climb to the top of the Empire state building in New York to be shot down by airplanes was the scene adapted for the movie about the real life 9/11, 2001 `events`, World Trade Centre (2006), in which hijacked planes were crashed by terrorist invaders into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Centre in New York, because Manhattan island was perceived by a director as a part of the set of King Kong. It`s no accident that the government instrument alleged to undermine nations in the interest of `national security`, that is, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) of the United States of America, has a `Director`, because directorship is the modern form of dictatorship. When Britain`s leader, Margaret Thatcher, responded to the Argentine invasion of the Falkland islands in 1982 by sending a naval `task force` to retake the captured territory, she`d been accused of dictatorship by her nation`s people.3 Although her successful war was a sign of her success as a political dictator, she was a part of the modern alien directorship, which is what society doesn`t want, because such directorship makes dictators to wage war.

 

 

 The Jews` tradition is futanarian `woman`s seed`. God tells Eve in the Bible: `You shall crush the head of the serpent with your foot, but he shall bruise your heel.` (Gen: 3. 15) In Christian iconography Jesus` mother, the Virgin Mary, is depicted crushing the head of the serpent with her foot, because Jesus was born uncontaminated by male semen. Mary`s `foot` is a symbol of futanarian `woman`s seed`, that is, women with their own penis` semen, who`re capable of sexually reproducing human brainpower from their women`s own species` wombs. Consequently, because women can sexually reproduce brainpower from themselves, whereas men can`t, women are the `body politic`, and the members thereof. Or, in other words, soldiers should defend `woman`s seed`, whereas what they`re taught is the defense of women and children, because they`re taught to believe that men are more important than women, who can produce children without men, so men aren`t as important as women. Societal failure derives from the belief that boys are the future, and that the future is war against each other on the false premise that the women and the children are being defended in that war, whereas the future is `woman`s seed`. In the paradise of heaven on Earth that was Eden, God turned Satan, the angel, into a serpent, because Satan rejected God`s plan that the human host should be greater than the angelic. God gave Eve, the first woman, and Adam, the first man, immortality, but Satan persuaded them to prefer ephemerality, `You shall be as gods.` (Gen: 3. 5) Gods in host womb slavery, that is.

 In ancient Greece, homosexuality in pederasty was institutionalized for the host womb slavery of women to promulgate war, which is why men teach themselves that boys are the future, whereas the future is the human brainpower damned in men`s repression of `woman`s seed`: `Mystery, Babylon the great, mother of harlots and of the abominations of the Earth.` (Rev: 17. 5) The abominations of the Earth are the gods. By the late 20^th century men`s mixing of blood, shit and semen in each others` anuses spread the Greeks` `biological weapon` of HIV/AIDS, an `incurable killer disease`, which resulted in the prohibition of sexual activity as a new god to be worshipped. Effectively, HIV/AIDS ensured the ring slavery of men`s monogamous marriage with a species not theirs, because `woman`s seed` was excluded, although Jesus did explain: `At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.` (Matt: 22. 30) Taken to the hill of Calvary outside Jerusalem, where he was nailed to a cross of wood by the Romans, and left there to die, Jesus` teaching was of `woman`s seed`: `Love your neighbor as you love yourself.` (Mk: 12. 31) Having Resurrection and Ascension to heaven, Jesus` destiny  prefigures that of `woman`s seed` rising to colonize the planets and stars of heaven above through their own brainpower`s devising of starships to take them there, which the Romans didn`t want them to do. Medical science`s conferring a cure for HIV/AIDS represents a step to immortality and the permanent brainpower and memory needed for the maintenance of liberating human technology, so men don`t want a cure, but prefer war, for example, 1 billion US$ keeps a B2 `Spirit` bomber operational.

 Robert A. Heinlein`s Starship Troopers presents an extrapolation of men`s warlike nature outwardly, which is quite common in science fiction; for example, H. G. Wells` The War Of The Worlds (1897), in which Martians invade Earth, is simply an extrapolation of men`s invasive nature. In the movie Independence Day (1996) aliens invade the Earth and destroy Washington, D.C., and especially the official residence of the President of the United States of America, the Whitehouse on Capitol Hill, because it`s a mockery of July 4, 1776, when the US declared independence from the British Empire of George III after war, which is what men teach boys, that is, national independence through war, whereas `woman`s seed` is the independent species on the Earth representing the greatest potential for socio-economic interdependence. Consequently, God`s punishing of Satan for rejecting God`s plan that the human host be greater than the angelic is understandable as a denial of Satanism, which is subjugation of `woman`s seed` through host womb parasitism for the human species in ephemeral slavery. In parasitology, parasites that emerge from the host to devour it are termed `parasitoid`, which is the type of alien that men are: `And the dragon was wroth with the woman and went to make war on the remnant of her seed.` (Rev: 12. 17) Consequently, Starship Troopers extrapolates from the serpent in Eden grown to the size of a devouring dragon, and presents it as a war of men and boys against `woman`s seed` conceived as a species of arachnid, because humans have eight limbs, that is, as a sexually reproducing nature, which is a single independent species designed to conjoin with each other, it`s arachnoid, and men don`t want her, because their nature is parasitoid, and so devouring of the human host that bore it.

 

 

 Heinlein`s Fleet Sergeant Ho is a recruiter for the military, who explains that the criteria by which a candidate for citizenship is measured is a contrivance to ensure that men`s parasitoid nature characterized by homosexuality in pederasty`s enslavement of the humans species` host womb for ephemerality and war is the standard: `[W]e've had to think up a whole list of dirty, nasty, dangerous jobs that will ... at the very least make them remember for the rest of their lives that their citizenship is valuable to them because they've paid a high price for it ... A term of service is ... either real military service, rough and dangerous even in peacetime ... or a most unreasonable facsimile thereof.`4 Or, in other words, if no one mentions the woman`s penis, the war against her species can continue to be waged. Maintaining humans in ephemerality is how blind ignorant unconsciousness rules for slavers of the human host, and they aren`t human but alien: `I made a very important discovery at Camp Currie. Happiness consists in getting enough sleep. Just that, nothing more. All the wealthy, unhappy people you've ever met take sleeping pills; Mobile Infantrymen don't need them. Give a cap trooper a bunk and time to sack out in it, and he's as happy as a worm in an apple - asleep.` Heinlein`s soldier paradigm, Juan Rico, from Buenos Aires, Argentina, effectively admits that soldiers are worms of death in the apple of `woman`s seed`. As long as they`re asleep, that is, blind, ignorant and unconscious, Heinlein`s soldiers remain happy. Consequently, the problem resides with their education. Handicapped by Christianity`s moral ground, and effectively buried underneath it, Heinlein wasn`t able to use his mouthpiece for the dissemination of History and Moral Philosophy, that is, Jean Dubois, to educate his readers about `woman`s seed`. The most he could do was introduce the theme of unisex, and in the 1997 movie, made by Hollywood, `Babylon`, in the city of Los Angeles, in the west coast state of California, USA, Starship Troopers, men and women showered together, which was hailed as a major revolutionary cinema breakthrough for science fiction lending its support to the US military`s campaign to have women serve alongside men as combatants during war.

 Although Carmen Ibanez`s role was as a `mother` pilot aboard the Rodger Young, a starship named for a US infantryman awarded the posthumous Medal of Honor for a delaying action that saved his patrol under Japanese attack on New Georgia on July 31, 1943, dropping men and their boy sons onto the planet of Klendathu is Heinlein`s metaphor for the `biological warfare` waged by men against `woman`s seed`. Accurately depicted by actress Denise Richards in the `97 movie Starship Troopers, Carmen`s character represents car men, that is, men who`re trained to operate electric wheelchairs as disabled vehicles, because the aliens don`t want the human species of `woman`s seed` to develop beyond the airlines, which of course are the aliens with `air power`, a traditional term for demon spirits, that is, `the powers of the air`. In other words, men and their poisons are what the aliens want, that is, the airlines` desire that car men, symbolically represented by Carmen, shouldn`t rise beyond the level of a mother`s delivering of her poisons onto the Earth. The manufacturing of the human race as a single male brained creature wearing each others` clothes in unisex `TV` transvestism is what Starship Troopers` shower scene of men and women together reinforces. Consequently, the terrorist hijacked planes crashing into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Centre on September 11, 2001, `live on CNN` and other `TV` news networks is what the aliens manufactured men and women as a `TV` for, and Starship Troopers` shower scene contributed, because on the moral ground held by Christianity that says adultery is encouraged by graphic depictions of human sexuality Heinlein couldn`t write, and Hollywood, Babylon, couldn`t show, the single unadulterated species of `woman`s seed` having sex in the shower with each other.

 

 

 Although North American Space Administration (NASA) astronaut Neil Armstrong was lauded for being the first man on the moon, his foot wasn`t that of futanarian `woman`s seed`, but rather a prelude to US` President, Ronald `Ray Gun` Reagan`s `Strategic Defense Initiative` (SDI) of March 23, 1982, a `ground and space based missile system` effectively imprisoning `woman`s seed` beneath the heel of men after Armstrong`s lunar landing of July 21, 1969, UTC: 2. 56: `One small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.` Called `star wars` after the movie Star Wars (1977) in which the Emperor Palatine orders the construction of a `Death Star` to be placed in orbit around planets to kill them, the adapting of the US` space rocket program to deliver a man onto the moon into a delivery system for intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) armed with nuclear warheads was exactly what the science fiction community`s `bug eyed monsters` warned of, that is, eyes see BEMs everywhere if men`s parasitoid nature isn`t redeemed through Jesus` teaching of the acceptance of `woman`s seed`.

 

 

 Although Islam is often represented in the mass media edutainment as the opponent of Judeo-Christianity, Judaism is futanarian, and so is Jesus` teaching. In Islam four women are permissible in marriage, which affords the opportunity for sexual reproduction between the futanarian species of women, whereas the USA`s almost ubiquitous featuring of penisless women`s nudity ensures the sexual reproduction of boy sons, that is, poisons, and a brainless `TV` creature for war waging. In short, the USA is, and has been, waging war on women, at least since Will Hays, the President of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America (MPPDA), established the `Hays code` in 1930 forbidding women`s foot to be raised from the floor in bedroom scenes, that is, a ban on depictions of futanarian women`s mode of sexual reproduction to prevent humans from receiving education so that they can`t reproduce outside of alien mind control: `... women, in love scenes, at all times have `at least one foot on the floor` (in other words, no love scenes in bed).`5 Outside of alien mind control, the humans might perceive the truth that `woman`s seed` is what they defend, rather than that religions exist as an excuse for men to rape women`s species, so that they can educate it to drop its boy sons, that is, BEMs poisons everywhere in support of the US` `snuff movie` business. 9/11`s destruction of the World Trade Centre was symbolically in support of `rough trade`,6 that is, that `brutality and violence` associated with homosexuality in pederasty for war against `woman`s seed`, which is what `TV` is. Consequently, because the 1930 `Hays code` followed the invention of the `TV` machine by John Logie Baird in 1926, 9/11 was programed to occur by the US, as Iraq President, Saddam Hussein said in his `Second open letter to the American people`: `... the mentality of the US administration has been pre-loaded, prior to the incidence, even if we apply the norms of today and not the norms of the law. It has made assumption tantamount to conclusive verdict, namely that Islam, with Arabs in the lead of Moslems are enemies of the US.

 More precisely, the US on the level of its rulers has taken it as a final verdict that it is the enemy of Arabs and Moslems. In so doing, they have stored the final verdict in their minds. On this basis, they built their preparation in advance. On this basis too, they prepared (the mind) of the computer, which was programed on this assumption, which has taken the form of a conclusive verdict.`7 The `verdict` was that the US was the enemy of `woman`s seed`, because through its mass media edutainment Empire it sought to manufacture men and women as a `TV` to watch waging war on itself; despite the biblical passage used in support of the belief that the seal of the US Presidency defends women: `The woman was given the two wings of a great eagle, so that she might fly to the place prepared for her in the wilderness, where she would be taken care of for a time, times and half a time, out of the serpent's reach.` (Rev: 12. 14) Although the seal of the US Presidency features an eagle with bows and arrows in its talons, there are other eagle`s wings; for example, Iraq`s. Judeo-Christianity derives from Abraham`s son, Isaac, while Islam, which has its holiest place, that is, the `Ka` Ba` temple of Abraham, in Saudi Arabia`s city of Mecca, derives from Ishmael, Abraham`s second son by Hajer, the unmarried Egyptian woman given to Abraham by Sara, his wife, after she was barren through the birth of Isaac. Islam derives from Ishmael`s descendant, Mohamed, who received the Koran (610-30 C.E.) from the angels of God, who`d been told that the human host should be greater than the angelic. Consequently, although the permission for four wives amongst the Moslem families is perceived as a retroactive legitimization of Ishmael`s birth from the unmarried Egyptian woman, Hajer, the Koran is the eagle of the Bible affording protection to `woman`s seed`: `There was no god but the Lieutenant and Sergeant Jelal was his prophet.`8 Juan Rico`s reaction to his new outfit, Rasczak's Roughnecks, prior to the battle for Klendathu, affords a hint at how Christianity should interact with Islam: `There is no God but Allah.`9 In Judaism `Eloah` is the name for God, so Christianity`s despising of Islam for worshipping a god with a false name is unacceptable, because the Prophet Mohamed`s Koran is the eagle defender of `woman`s seed`.

 

 

 In ancient Egypt the `Ka` was the spirit and the `Ba` was the soul, which means that the `Ka` Ba` represents `woman`s seed` protected by the eagle in the wilderness, that is, the futanarian spirit and the woman`s bodied soul defended by the Koran from Saudi Arabia`s Mecca. Heinlein`s Sergeant Charles Zim`s question seems foolish but it`s what men have done with woman`s futanarian species` child: `If you wanted to teach a baby a lesson, would you cut its head off?`10 Perhaps the most famous of all story collections is the 8<sup>th</sup> century 1001 Nights, which has the framing device of the Mogul, Shah Jehan, who beheads his wife for alleged unfaithfulness, so Scheherezade tells Jehan tales to keep his interest in her because it becomes his practice to behead a wife each night after marrying each day, and so Scheherezade saves the women. Although from an American perspective, it`s brainless `TV` anyway, because the stories are for the children they want only for making more war, Sgt. Zim`s words indicate Heinlein`s disapproval, because he`s a History and Moral Philosophy teacher, like Jesus, who should be listened to: `... a human being has no natural rights of any nature.`11 Consequently, the aliens have been able to enslave them quietly. The virus is no respecter of persons, and many scientists believe that life originated on Earth as a space born virus,12 a Panspermian thesis that supports the hypothesis that the story of Eve and Adam is that of a futanarian human species whose host womb was possessed by a creature that stole her penis` semen to replicate itself and emerge to kill and enslave her for more `TV` entertainment.

 A `snuff` movie is a recording of the real life killing of a person for entertainment purposes, and the term derives from ground tobacco snorted into the nostrils, which constitutes the moral grounds of a belief system that smokes women`s penis cigarettely in triumph. When the Nazis were burning the Jews in the ovens they could smell them, that is, it was incense in their nostrils. The original `snuff` was cocaine, a euphoria inducing drug made from the leaves of the South American cocoa plant, while `cock` and Cain are euphemisms for men`s penis` semen and murder, that is, `snuff` cocaine. Eve`s son, Cain, was the murderer of his brother, Abel, who was too able because he was able to cook, while Cain`s response to Abel`s savory smell in the nostrils of God was to indicate his desire to return to the lazy days of Eden by placing fruit on the altar and killing Abel in a jealous rage. Adolf Hitler`s Nazis` extermination of the Jewish futanarian tradition, and afterwards burning the prepared corpses in ovens, was a continuation of Cain`s rage of jealousy against more Abel men and women. The Nazi `death camp` guards, the Schutzstaffel (SS) with the mark of the murderer, Cain, were so addicted to cocaine, that is, `snuff`, after men`s cocks had sexually reproduced enough victims, Hitler had chemists invent a synthetic form; amphetamine. The Jews going up in smoke in the nostrils of the Nazis, from their being burned in the ovens - especially constructed for that purpose - was a sign and a symptom of men`s evil parasitoid `snuff` nature, which remained uncontrolled by Jesus` teaching of Redemption through brain transformation, that is, metanoia, or repentance and conversion from sin: `... duty is an adult virtue - indeed a juvenile becomes an adult when, and only when, he acquires a knowledge of duty and embraces it as dearer than the self-love he was born with.`13 Dubois` observation accords with the realization that humans are human, when they realize futanarian `woman`s seed` is greater than men`s alone.

 Futanarian `woman`s seed` represents the untapped potential for liberating brainpower damned in slavery for ephemerality and death in wars for the entertainment of the alien `snuff` producer: `We've never been told to go down and kill or capture all left-handed redheads in a particular area, but if they tell us to, we can. We will.`14 Juan Rico is the Zillionraw recruit demonstrating unquestioning belief in the military system extrapolated from men`s parasitoid nature as devourers of `woman`s seed`: `To vote is to wield authority; it is the supreme authority from which all other authority derives - such as mine to make your lives miserable once a day. Force if you will! - the franchise is force, naked and raw, the Power of the Rods and the Ax. Whether it is exerted by ten men or by ten billion, political authority is force.`15 Dubois` funniest diatribe reveals the fallacy in the Roman system, which is that `woman`s seed` is denied the franchise although she has a capacity to sexually reproduce as a single independent species, whereas men can`t: `Bugs, Mr Rico. Zillions of em!`16 Hughes` report to Juan on `planet P` reflects men`s likely response to discovering women`s futanarian species amongst the planets of heaven, which is why the Bible depicts Satan as devouring `woman`s seed` in `star wars` out there before defeat and imprisonment: `His tail swept away one-third of the stars in the sky, and he threw them to the Earth. He stood in front of the woman as she was about to give birth, ready to devour her baby as soon as it was born.` (Rev: 12. 4) Although most Bible interpreters agree that the child is a man, it`s interpretable as a futanarian woman with male and female parts, because Jesus was all but Mary`s futanarian daughter uncontaminated by male semen: `She gave birth to a male child, one who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron.` (Rev: 12. 5) The equating of the fasces` rods, or bundle of wood, with the child`s iron rod is significant, because rods are the medical term for that part of the eye which confers night vision, that is, the Roman ax is a symbol of blindness through decapitation of `woman`s seed` to prevent human brainpower from envisioning liberation from the darkness in which it perforce struggles to grow out of.

 Heinlein`s `Power of the Rods and the Ax` to rule on behalf of the citizens presupposes that the human species is disenfranchised by its enslaving alien parasitoid devourer, which has enslaved it in order to eat it: `Moral behavior is survival behavior above the individual level.`17 As an enslaving parasitoid nature in ephemeral slaving for war against the native species, the moral ground for the survival of the singularly male brained collective is what the individual independence of the human species` of `woman`s seed` is buried under. As Heinlein`s spokesperson, Dubois is a foil exhorting the intelligent reader to think for themselves: `When you come right to it, it is easier to die than it is to use your head.`18 A single independent species of `woman`s seed` that`s been decapitated by teaching it that sexual reproduction is adulteration won`t be able to do anything but die at the hands of the alien exterminator. Without immortality conferred through medical science, the human system is slave education in which children grow under the auspices of aliens pretending to be fathers. Humans live by saying they can`t understand, which is what the aliens want. Generations of infants for the infantry educated and trained for war against `woman`s seed` in the `snuff` business of an alien edutainment system that works slowly for human extinction, because there might still be some dollars in it: `To the everlasting glory of the Infantry -`19. Infants for infantilism`s tree: `... you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.` (Gen: 2. 17) Because evil people are infantile, and the infantry are the arms of the demon they worship.
