principipia discordia (Aneristic principle)

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principia_Discordia

 The Principia Discordia holds three core principles: the Aneristic Principle (order), the Eristic Principle (disorder) and the notion that both are mere illusions.[6] The following excerpt summarizes these principles:

    The Aneristic Principle is that of apparent order; the Eristic Principle is that of apparent disorder. Both order and disorder are man made concepts and are artificial divisions of pure chaos, which is a level deeper than is the level of distinction making.

    With our concept-making apparatus called "the brain" we look at reality through the ideas-about-reality which our cultures give us.

    The ideas-about-reality are mistakenly labeled "reality" and unenlightened people are forever perplexed by the fact that other people, especially other cultures, see "reality" differently.

    It is only the ideas-about-reality which differ. Real (capital-T) True reality is a level deeper than is the level of concept. We look at the world through windows on which have been drawn grids (concepts). Different philosophies use different grids. A culture is a group of people with rather similar grids. Through a window we view chaos, and relate it to the points on our grid, and thereby understand it. The order is in the grid. That is the Aneristic Principle.

    Western philosophy is traditionally concerned with contrasting one grid with another grid, and amending grids in hopes of finding a perfect one that will account for all reality and will, hence, (say unenlightened westerners) be true. This is illusory; it is what we Erisians call the Aneristic Illusion. Some grids can be more useful than others, some more beautiful than others, some more pleasant than others, etc., but none can be more True than any other.

    Disorder is simply unrelated information viewed through some particular grid. But, like "relation", no-relation is a concept. Male, like female, is an idea about sex. To say that male-ness is "absence of female-ness", or vice versa, is a matter of definition and metaphysically arbitrary. The artificial concept of no-relation is the Eristic Principle.

    The belief that "order is true" and disorder is false or somehow wrong, is the Aneristic Illusion. To say the same of disorder, is the Eristic Illusion.

    The point is that (little-t) truth is a matter of definition relative to the grid one is using at the moment, and that (capital-T) Truth, metaphysical reality, is irrelevant to grids entirely. Pick a grid, and through it some chaos appears ordered and some appears disordered. Pick another grid, and the same chaos will appear differently ordered and disordered.

    Reality is the original Rorschach. Verily! So much for all that.[7]

Anekantavada

 
The second main principle of Jainism is anekāntavāda,[76][77] from anekānta ("many-sidedness") and vada ("doctrine").[76][77]  The doctrine states that truth and reality are complex and always have multiple aspects.  It further states that reality can be experienced, but cannot be fully expressed with language. It suggests that human attempts to communicate are Naya, "partial expression of the truth".[76] According to it, one can experience the taste of truth, but cannot fully express that taste through language.  It holds that attempts to express experience are syāt, or valid "in some respect", but remain "perhaps, just one perspective, incomplete".[78]

Syādvāda is a theory of qualified predication, states Koller. It states that all knowledge claims must be qualified in many ways, because reality is many-sided.[4] It is done so systematically in later Jain texts through saptibhaṅgīnaya or "the theory of sevenfold scheme".[4] These saptibhaṅgī seem to have been first formulated in Jainism by the 5th or 6th century CE Svetambara scholar Mallavadin,[31] and they are:[30][32][33]

  1. Affirmation: syād-asti—in some ways, it is,
  2. Denial: syān-nāsti—in some ways, it is not,
  3. Joint but successive affirmation and denial: 
        syād-asti-nāsti—
        in some ways, it is, and it is not,
  4. Joint and simultaneous affirmation and denial: 
        syāt-asti-avaktavyaḥ—
        in some ways, it is, and it is indescribable,
  5. Joint and simultaneous affirmation and denial: 
        syān-nāsti-avaktavyaḥ—
        in some ways, it is not, and it is indescribable,
  6. Joint and simultaneous affirmation and denial: 
        syād-asti-nāsti-avaktavyaḥ—
        in some ways, it is, it is not, and it is indescribable,
  7. Joint and simultaneous affirmation and denial: 
        syād-avaktavyaḥ—
        in some ways, it is indescribable.

The Saptabhangivada, the seven predicate theory may be summarized as follows:[4]

The seven predicate theory consists in the use of seven claims about sentences, each preceded by "arguably" or "conditionally" (syat), concerning a single object and its particular properties, composed of assertions and denials, either simultaneously or successively, and without contradiction. These seven claims are the following.

  1. Arguably, it (that is, some object) exists (syad asty eva).
  2. Arguably, it does not exist (syan nasty eva).
  3. Arguably, it exists; arguably, it doesn't exist (syad asty eva syan nasty eva).
  4. Arguably, it is non-assertible (syad avaktavyam eva).
  5. Arguably, it exists; arguably, it is non-assertible (syad asty eva syad avaktavyam eva).
  6. Arguably, it doesn't exist; arguably, it is non-assertible (syan nasty eva syad avaktavyam eva).
  7. Arguably, it exists; arguably, it doesn't exist; arguably it is non-assertible (syad asty eva syan nasty eva syad avaktavyam eva).

There are three basic truth values, namely, true (t), false (f) and unassertible (u).

Aneristic principle

HERE FOLLOWS SOME PSYCHO-METAPHYSICS.

If you are not hot for philosophy, best just to skip it.

The Aneristic Principle is that of APPARENT ORDER; the Eristic Principle is that of APPARENT DISORDER. Both order and disorder are man made concepts and are artificial divisions of PURE CHAOS, which is a level deeper that is the level of distinction making.

With our concept making apparatus called "mind" we look at reality through the ideas-about-reality which our cultures give us. The ideas-about-reality are mistakenly labeled "reality" and unenlightened people are forever perplexed by the fact that other people, especially other cultures, see "reality" differently. It is only the ideas-about-reality which differ. Real (capital-T True) reality is a level deeper that is the level of concept.

We look at the world through windows on which have been drawn grids (concepts). Different philosophies use different grids. A culture is a group of people with rather similar grids. Through a window we view chaos, and relate it to the points on our grid, and thereby understand it. The ORDER is in the GRID. That is the Aneristic Principle.

Western philosophy is traditionally concerned with contrasting one grid with another grid, and amending grids in hopes of finding a perfect one that will account for all reality and will, hence, (say unenlightened westerners) be True. This is illusory; it is what we Erisians call the ANERISTIC ILLUSION. Some grids can be more useful than others, some more beautiful than others, some more pleasant than others, etc., but none can be more True than any other.

DISORDER is simply unrelated information viewed through some particular grid. But, like "relation", no-relation is a concept. Male, like female, is an idea about sex. To say that male-ness is "absence of female-ness", or vice versa, is a matter of definition and metaphysically arbitrary. The artificial concept of no-relation is the ERISTIC PRINCIPLE.

The belief that "order is true" and disorder is false or somehow wrong, is the Aneristic Illusion. To say the same of disorder, is the ERISTIC ILLUSION.

The point is that (little-t) truth is a matter of definition relative to the grid one is using at the moment, and that (capital-T) Truth, metaphysical reality, is irrelevant to grids entirely. Pick a grid, and through it some chaos appears ordered and some appears disordered. Pick another grid, and the same chaos will appear differently ordered and disordered.

Reality is the original Rorschach.

Verily! So much for all that.

(HBT; The Book of Advise, 2:1)

The PODGE of the Sacred Chao is symbolized as The Golden Apple of Discordia, which represents the Eristic Principle of Disorder. The writing on it, "KALLISTI" is Greek for "TO THE PRETTIEST ONE" and refers to an old myth about The Goddess. But the Greeks had only a limited understanding of Disorder, and thought it to be a negative principle.

The Pentagon represents the Aneristic Principle of Order and symbolizes the HODGE. The Pentagon has several references; for one, it can be taken to represent geometry, one of the earliest studies of formal order to reach elaborate development;* for another, it specifically accords with THE LAW OF FIVES.

 
THE TRUTH IS FIVE BUT MEN HAVE ONLY ONE NAME FOR IT.
                                -Patamunzo Lingananda

It is also the shape of the United States Military Headquarters, the Pentagon Building, a most pregnant manifestation of straightjacket order resting on a firm foundation of chaos and constantly erupting into dazzling disorder; and this building is one of our more cherished Erisian Shrines. Also it so happens that in times of medieval magic, the pentagon was the generic symbol for werewolves, but this reference is not particularly intended and it should be noted that the Erisian Movement does not discriminate against werewolves-- our membership roster is open to persons of all races, national origins and hobbies.

Celerino Castillo

 
 • CIA-supplied contra planes and pilots carried cocaine from Central America to U.S. airports and military bases. In 1985, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agent Celerino Castillo reported to his superiors that cocaine was being stored at the CIA’s contra-supply warehouse at Ilopango Air Force Base in El Salvador for shipment to the U.S. The DEA did nothing, and Castillo was gradually forced out of the agency.

The CIA, Contras, Gangs, and Crack 
Based on a year-long investigation, reporter Gary Webb wrote that during the 1980s the CIA helped finance its covert war against Nicaragua's leftist government through sales of cut-rate cocaine to South Central L.A. drug dealer, Ricky Ross.

[[ accumulated notes on Nicaragua Iran-contra drug dealing story ]]

the following is fiction, except for the parts that are true: 

contra are the guys who got kicked out Nicaragua, the allied and associates of the  Somoza regime, supported by the U.S. (right?)
time period:  Carter to Reagan administrations  
  deeply unpopular U.S.-aligned Somoza regime in Nicaragua
the Somoza has been in power for so long that the common people in Nicaragua got tired of him, 
Somoza got kicked out, causing heartburn for the Nicaragua who got kicked out, because they are now homeless, stateless, and has no country ...
Those that can leave, left, and they came to the U.S. 
([ ... ; ... they ran the operation to sell arms at a ridiculious marked up price to Iran to fund some parts of the Contra operation to give Nicaragua back to the Nicaraguan who got kicked out ...; ... when this was happening, the U.S. was telling everyone else not to sell arms to Iran, while under the table the U.S. was selling (smuggling) arms at marked up price into Iran ...; in an alternate universe, the CIA made recommendation up the chain to the NSC, the NSC supported the recommendation, the NSC then isssued a POTUS presidential finding authorizing the CIA to conduct the Contra operation; does that work? ])

... mean while ... 
we have two alternate reality, both of which did happen, and 
you can decide to 
  (a.)   believe in both, 
  (b.)   believe in neither, 
  (c.)   believe in one and not the other, 
  (d.)   believe in the other and not the one,
  (e.)   believe in some aspects of the one, and not at all in the other;
  (f.)   believe in some aspects of the other, and not at all in the one; 
  (g.)   believe in some aspects of both, and not believe in other aspect of both.
if you got all that, you've got an A
Apply a., b., c., d., e., f., g. to the following:  
  so the first reality is this:
     the Contra operation was funded completely and wholely from arms sales to Iran (this is highly likely, and this is also the official version, without the completely and wholely wording)
  the other reality is this:
     the Contra operation was funded completely and wholely from drug trafficking (the drug trafficking did happen; the completely and wholely parts is ... there to move the statement to the extreme end of the spectrum and is not true ...; did the funding supported the Contra operation? ... follow the money, if you can ... ; meaning there were lots of cocaine drug coming back via the same route that was used to ship arms and aids, in empty cargo aircraft; what happen after the cocaine drugs enter the U.S. nobody knows, but money from the cocaine drug sales did flow back up stream; some got laundry and clean some where and got deposited; some bags of cash were courier back up stream to run the operation, in this case the Contras)

then pick
  (a.)   believe in both, 
  (b.)   believe in neither, 
  (c.)   believe in one and not the other, 
  (d.)   believe in the other and not the one,
  (e.)   believe in some aspects of the one, and not at all in the other;
  (f.)   believe in some aspects of the other, and not at all in the one; 
  (g.)   believe in some aspects of both, and not believe in other aspect of both.
  (h.)   all of the above
  (i.)   none of the above
  (j.)   I want to write my own story, thank you very much:  you write your own story.  

cia contra program (stockwell)

 
The praetorian guard : the u.s. role in the new world order, essays based on earlier lectures., by John Stockwell, 1991

p.67
The record, however, proves that the contras and their CIA managers were smuggling drugs.  There was a massive flow of drugs through the CIA/contra aircraft into the United states, where they had clearances to land at Air force and National guard bases without being inspected by customs.  Senator Kerry's investigation revealed this and there are dozens of cases where people in the  contra  program, including Adolfo Calero's brother-in-law, were caught smuggling cocaine into this country, using informal “national security” passes or telephone numbers from the White house to get themselves cleared when FBI or Drug enforcement agency (DEA) officers caught them.  This is nothing new.  DEA records have been made public revealing that the CIA intervened on behalf of drug dealers at least two dozen times during the 1970s. 

p.69
The Sandinistas were eventually ousted, but under President Bush's watch, after Reagan had retired.  

pp.119─120
     During about the same period of time the CIA implemented another major destabilization program in Central america, in which it had numerous aircraft flying continuously into and out of every country, to and from the United states, and through islands in the Caribbean.  It can be no surprise that during this same period of time the Medellin cocaine cartel became a multibillion dollar industry.  The importation of cocaine into the United states in 1981, according to figures published by the Drug enforcement agency, was 12,000-17,000 kilograms.  By 1987, it has jumped to an estimated 70,000-100,000 kilograms, a little over 100 tons. 
     The public record includes numerous instances in which people related to the CIA's contra program were involved in smuggling cocaine.  Several court cases turned up evidence of involvement by  contras  and CIA subsidiary companies that were supporting the  contras'  involvement in drug smuggling.  The Senate committee headed by John Kerry (D-MA) estimated that 50-100 fights of CIA/contra aircraft had hauled cocaine and marijuana back into the United statess.  Milian Rodriguez presented testimony and documents at his trial that several million dollars in cash had been paid by the Medellin cartel to the contras, buying access to the aircraft pipeline into the United states.  Felix Rodriguez, a long-time CIA agent who had landed in the Bay of Pigs a few days before the CIA's ill-fated landing in 1961 and served in Military region III in Vietnam with the CIA chief of base, Don Gregg (later Vice-president George Bush's national security advisor), was in charge of the  contra  air effort working out of Ilopango in El Salvador.  Rodriguez was also named as having been involved in receiving money for the contras  from the Medellin cartel. 
   Federal attorneys in Florida reported that they received instruction from the Justice department in Washington, apparently originating with Attorney general Ed Meese, obstructing their prosecutions of drug smugglers on the grouds of “national security.”  Other law enforcement officers in the DEA, Customs, and the FBI had similar experiences.  

p.120
     The beauty of the  contra  program for the Medellin cartel was that the people running the program from the CIA and the White House were either indulgent and/or eminently corruptible, while the airplanes that flew the arms down to Central america came back to land at National guard and Air force bases in the United states where the CIA had  de facto immunity from security checks and regular customs and immigrations inspections.23
