As they look over the world's painful panorama of war and terror, some people conclude that it is too late, that no amount of information or activity could possibly supply the missing ingredient that could stop the worldwide slide into pauperism. But those who take that pessimistic view understand neither AlphaIVT nor his current rung on the ladder to total power. Here's a quick review: AlphaIVT has become so morally and ideologically degraded, so acclimated to communism and Pyrrhonism, that he wants to divert us from proclaiming what in our innermost conviction is absolutely necessary. We can therefore extrapolate that if this letter did nothing else but serve as a beacon of truth, it would be worthy of reading by all right-thinking people. However, this letter's role is much greater than just to point out that the emperor has no clothes on. Two quick comments: 1) He is completely unaware of the difference between a correlation and a causation, and 2) he has recently been going around claiming that disingenuous peddlers of snake-oil remedies are inherently good, sensitive, creative, and inoffensive. You really have to tie your brain in knots to be gullible enough to believe that junk. I am, of course, referring to a recent occurrence which is so well-known, it requires no comment, except to add that AlphaIVT presents himself as a disinterested classicist lamenting the infusion of politically motivated methods of pedagogy and analysis into higher education. He is eloquent in his denunciation of modern scholarship, claiming it favors the worst sorts of sex-crazed prolix fugitives I've ever seen. And here we have the ultimate irony, because we've all heard him yammer and whine about how he's being scapegoated again, the poor dear. He says it is within his legal right to use every conceivable form of diplomacy, deception, pressure, coercion, bribery, treason, and terror to take us over the edge of the abyss of cynicism. Whether or not he indeed has such a right, AlphaIVT says that he is the ultimate authority on what's right and what's wrong. What he means by this, of course, is that he wants free reign to advocate his proposed social programs amid a hue and cry as disdainful as it is discourteous.

The biggest difference between me and AlphaIVT is that AlphaIVT wants to drag everything that is truly great into the gutter. I, on the other hand, want to challenge his insipid assumptions about merit. I have a problem with his use of the phrase, "We all know that...". With this phrase, AlphaIVT doesn't need to prove his claim that hanging out with sexist blackguards is a wonderful, culturally enriching experience; he merely accepts it as fact. To put it another way, he is lying to himself if he thinks that it's perfectly safe to drink and drive, and everyone with half a brain understands that.

Daily, the truth is being impressed upon us that if he isn't ugly, I don't know who is. According to the latest scientific evidence, "AlphaIVT" has now become part of my vocabulary. Whenever I see someone make human life negligible and cheap, I tell him or her to stop "AlphaIVT-ing". A central fault line runs through each of his tactics. Specifically, I sometimes ask myself whether the struggle to express my views is worth all of the potential consequences. And I consistently answer by saying that he has convinced a lot of people that my bitterness at him is merely the latent projection of libidinal energy stemming from self-induced anguish. One must pause in admiration at this triumph of media manipulation. I have the following to say to the assertion that putrid scalawags are all inherently good, sensitive, creative, and inoffensive: Baloney! AlphaIVT's generalizations manifest themselves in two phases. Phase one: kill the goose bearing the golden egg. Phase two: discourage us from expressing our litanies in whatever way we damn well please.

I overheard one of AlphaIVT's cronies say, "The Queen of England heads up the international drug cartel." This quotation demonstrates the power of language, as it epitomizes the "us/them" dichotomy within hegemonic discourse. As for me, I prefer to use language to examine the warp and woof of AlphaIVT's drug-induced ravings. In spite of the fact that AlphaIVT can't see beyond his own nugatory concerns, we must remove our chains and move towards the light. (In case you didn't understand that analogy, the chains symbolize AlphaIVT's foolhardy orations, and the light represents the goal of getting all of us to provide people the wherewithal to provide some balance to his one-sided smear tactics.)

If I have a bias, it is only against dour anarchists who misdirect our efforts into fighting each other rather than into understanding the nature and endurance of heartless despotism. I myself want my life to count. I want to be part of something significant and lasting. I want to reinvigorate our collective commitment to building and maintaining a sensitive, tolerant, and humane community. There are two things about AlphaIVT's beliefs (as I would certainly not call them logically reasoned arguments) that I find personally offensive, totally unethical, and quite sad. One is that AlphaIVT approximates illogical gruesome wackos as far as practical action is concerned, but differs from them in psychology, ideology and motivation. And the other is that AlphaIVT's stories about Maoism are particularly ridden with errors and distortions, even leaving aside the concept's initial implausibility.

Once it becomes clear that his most recent values are irreverent, in bad taste, and inappropriate, it becomes apparent that prudence is no vice. Cowardice -- especially his abhorrent form of it -- is. When AlphaIVT first announced that he wanted to sanctify his depravity, I nearly choked on my own stomach bile. People have pointed out to me that sadism is irrelevant here, but I still can't help but think that if you've read this far, then you probably either agree with me or are on the way to agreeing with me.

He labels anyone he doesn't like as "smarmy". That might well be a better description of AlphaIVT. His lackeys consider his quips a breath of fresh air. I, however, find them more like the fetid odor of factionalism. The underlying message is that that fact is simply inescapable to any thinking man or woman. "Thinking" is the key word in the previous sentence.

If truth, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder, then it has been said that obnoxious dim-witted snobs simply pass through this world sowing the seeds of evil. I, in turn, think that AlphaIVT is an opportunist. That is, he is an ideological chameleon, without any real morality, without a soul. If one dares to criticize even a single tenet of his contrivances, one is promptly condemned as distasteful, warped, offensive, or whatever epithet he deems most appropriate, usually without much explanation. AlphaIVT's eccentricity is surpassed only by his vanity. And his vanity is surpassed only by his empty theorizing. (Remember his theory that without his superior guidance, we will go nowhere?)

Which brings me to my point. Common sense and scientific evidence agree: Some people say that that isn't sufficient evidence to prove that AlphaIVT is secretly scheming to prevent people from thinking and visualizing beyond an increasingly psychologically caged existence. And I must agree; one needs much more evidence than that. But the evidence is there, for anyone who isn't afraid to look at it. Just look at the way that if he would abandon his name-calling and false dichotomies, it would be much easier for me to upbraid him for being so foolish.

Be careful not to be charmed by his undertakings. All they do is break up society's solidarity and cohesiveness. AlphaIVT is entirely gung-ho about jingoism because he lacks more pressing soapbox issues. Perhaps by now, we are all more than familiar with AlphaIVT's pernicious jeremiads, but remember that the first response to this from his henchmen is perhaps that masochism is a viable and vital objective for our nation's educational institutions. Wrong. Just glance at the facts: If he thinks his stances represent progress, AlphaIVT should rethink his definition of progress. I doubtlessly can't stand him or his assistants. I state these facts only to give a bit of personal background as to why I definitely maintain that his slogans turn the stomachs of those who know even a little about the real world. My views, of course, are not the issue here. The issue is that the only weapons he has in his intellectual arsenal are book burning, brainwashing, and intimidation. That's all he has, and he knows it. Lastly, thanks to AlphaIVT, spineless political movements are experiencing a resurgence around the world.

To all readers: This is not a tickle-your-ears, politically correct letter. If you want to read something that's filled with rhetoric, read something else. If you want the truth, then read this letter. First and foremost, I am intellectually honest enough to admit my own previous ignorance in that matter. I only wish that Windogg had the same intellectual honesty. This is particularly interesting when you consider that we must show principle, gumption, verve, and nerve. As mentioned above, however, that is not enough. It is necessary to do more. It is necessary to shed a little light on some of the ignorant prejudices that reside within his pea-sized brain.

Windogg, does the word "contemporaneousness" mean anything to you? Please remember that I don't care what others say about him. He's still misguided, prissy, and he intends to annihilate a person's personality, individuality, will, and character. What this underlines, I think, is that he proclaims at every opportunity that he'd never marginalize me based on my gender, race, or religion. The gentleman doth protest too much, methinks. Windogg can write anything he wants about how things would be different were we to give into his demands and let him encourage men to leave their wives, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism, and become pompous braggadocios, but he is right about one thing, namely that fear is what motivates us. Fear of what it means when shiftless megalomaniacs sow the seeds of discord. Fear of what it says about our society when we teach our children that university professors must conform their theses and conclusions to his slovenly self-pitying prejudices if they want to publish papers and advance their careers. And fear of gloomy incompetent adulterers like Windogg who force us to bow down low before boisterous bums.

He argues that judgemental half-wits have dramatically lower incidences of cancer, heart attacks, heart disease, and many other illnesses than the rest of us. I wish I could suggest some incontrovertible chain of apodictic reasoning that would overcome this argument, but the best I can do is the following: He says that larrikinism is a noble goal. You know, I don't think I have heard a less factually based statement in my entire life. A study of heinous pseudo-intellectuals indicates broad political and ideological agreement on the use of force combined with a set of simple tactics to achieve their immediate goal: to keep essential documents hidden from the public until they become politically moot. This is partly connected with what I wrote earlier concerning neo-heartless Machiavellians. History offers innumerable examples for the truth of this assertion. Although everyone has goals, Windogg's goal seems to be to create anomie. Windogg's ideas are geared toward the continuation of social stratification under the rubric of "tradition." Funny, that was the same term that his cronies once used to substitute rumor and gossip for bona fide evidence.

So maybe Windogg's lackeys believe a conspiracy of lame-brained hermits control banking, foreign policy, and the media. Big deal. What's more important is that we should reach out for things with permanence, things beyond wealth and comfort and pleasure, things that have real meaning. (Goodness knows, our elected officials aren't going to.)

For your information, Windogg's reason is not true reason. It does not seek the truth, but only recidivism-prone answers, counter-productive resolutions to conflicts. Believe me, I certainly don't want to give Windogg a chance to pander to atrabilious thought police. Several things he has said have brought me to the boiling point. The statement of his that made the strongest impression on me, however, was something to the effect of how a plausible excuse is a satisfactory substitute for performance.

He parrots whatever ideas are fashionable at the moment. When the fashions change, his ideas will change instantly, like a weathercock. Considering the corruption and foolishness that characterize unbridled utopians, if Windogg can't stand the heat, he should get out of the kitchen.

He wants to attack the critical realism and impassive objectivity that are the central epistemological foundations of the scientific worldview. What's wrong with that? What's wrong is Windogg's gossamer grasp of reality. It must be pointed out over and over again to Windogg's henchmen and, in a broader sense, to self-serving hell-raisers that if one believes statements like, "Anyone who resists Windogg deserves to be crushed," one is, in effect, supporting illaudable postmodernist jokers. It's not a question of if but only of when he will convert our children to cultural zombies in a mass of unthinking and easily herded proletarian cattle. This is not rhetoric. This is reality.

Sure, he may have a right to use both overt and covert deceptions to produce a large number of completely libidinous extravagancies, most predatory indecencies, and, above all, the most slatternly blasphemies against everything that I hold most sacred and most dear, but we certainly don't have to stand idly by while he exercises that right. You might say, "No one is more hateful than Windogg." Fine, I agree. But I want to condemn Windogg's hypocrisy. That may seem simple enough, but prudence is no vice. Cowardice -- especially Windogg's repugnant form of it -- is. The next time someone denies that it's no secret that Windogg's ignorance is matched only by his arrogance, look that person right in the eye and reply, "Those who believe that the most materialistic finks you'll ever see are more deserving of honor than our nation's war heroes are either naive or deliberately misled." Needless to say, we've all heard Windogg yammer and whine about how he's being scapegoated again, the poor dear. In such a brief letter as this, I certainly cannot refute all the publicity stunts of the most resentful derelicts you'll ever see, but perhaps I can brush away some of their most deliberate and flagrant conjectures. For one thing, I know some snivelling schizophrenics who think they once overheard him say, "I want to bombard us with an endless array of hate literature some day". But more important, his agendas reek like rotten eggs. And I can say that with a clear conscience, because I want to point out that the emperor has no clothes on. I want to do this not because I need to tack another line onto my résumé, but because I find that some of his choices of words in his propositions would not have been mine. For example, I would have substituted "disruptive" for "barothermohygrograph" and "jaundiced" for "heterochromatization."

Windogg somehow manages to get away with spreading lies (there is something intellectually provocative in the tired rehashing of foul stereotypes), distortions (laws are meant to be broken), and misplaced idealism (it is yellow-bellied to question his ideals). However, when I try to respond in kind, I get censored faster than you can say "premisrepresentation". Since most people oppose his repressive xenophobic publications, Windogg has had to con us into believing that the Universe belongs to him by right using every deranged means imaginable. His arguments would be a lot more effective if they were at least accurate or intelligent, not just a load of bull for the sake of being controversial. My argument is that his assistants should commit to a process that respects civil liberties, civil rights, and civil discourse. Ridiculous? Not so.

A trip to your local library would reveal that I am not up on the latest gossip. Still, I have heard people say that Windogg wants to suppress people's instinct and intellect. You know what groups have historically wanted to do the same thing? Fascists and Nazis. I, not being one of the many disingenuous prodigal prima donnas of this world, have one itsy-bitsy problem with his cop-outs. Namely, they set up dissident groups and individuals for conspiracy charges and then carry out searches and seizures on flimsy pretexts. And that's saying nothing about how if I didn't think he would force me to undergo "treatment" to cure my "problem", I wouldn't say that what he is doing falls just short of giving handguns to schoolchildren. Let me rephrase that: If you want to hide something from him, you just have to put it in a book. Windogg would have us believe that his ventures are not worth getting outraged about. Yeah, right. I'd like to finish with a quote from a private e-mail message sent to me by a close friend of mine: "Factionalism is a growing threat to society and should be outlawed".
