-Caveat Lector- NEWS OF NIETZCHE'S DEATH CAUSES TURMOIL ======================================= (CNNS, 05/08/99) -- Subsequent to a report two days ago by this news service, in which we pointed out that Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzche, reputed philosopher, is dead, vast turmoil has erupted throughout the world. Millions of "well educated" persons are struggling to cope with the news of Nietzche's death. With their anthropological deity misconceptions and post-modern chic fashionabilities now crushed, this has led to a new rash of angst, as shown in items below. Since the props against their inner emptiness, founded on the bulwark of Nietzche-ism, now lie in ruins, international Yuppie-ism is undergoing a profound spiritual crisis. The inner abyss of Neo-liberal thinking, now unchained by news of Nietzche's death, is suddenly manifesting in various locales: ** When an earthquake measuring 6.5 on the Richter scale hit Iran on Friday, killing 8 people, hollow sophisticates bravely struggled with the news. "The truth is relative," many were heard to say. But when, shortly thereafter, a quake measuring 6.1 on the Richter scale rocked Alaska, smug pseudo-intellectualism crumbled. In India, hundreds of thousands are now sleeping in the open, having deserted their homes, "following predictions of an impending apocalypse on Saturday. Vast majorities of people fear that their houses may collapse in a massive earthquake now that a number of astrologers have predicted a doomsday catastrophe." [1] ** According to a report in the Washington Post which appeared yesterday, huge rumors are sweeping the Maryland area that "something" will happen on May 10th. The Post, notably, nowhere in its story provides specifics on the contagious "rumor." "Nobody knows where the rumor came from, and nobody knows what it means. But the vague message that 'something will happen' at a school or schools May 10 has many local parents unnerved, police preparing to patrol campuses and Maryland state officials even postponing an annual standardized test." [2] Note how this story directly follows the previous CNNS report on Nietzche's death. ** NATO pilots are flipping out following their sudden realization that Nietzche, arguably the anti-Christ, has died. On May 7th, now-crazed NATO pilots inexplicably turned their bombs against a Serb hospital and a civilian market. Reuters reports that 15 harmless Serbs are dead and 70 are wounded. [3]. Not long thereafter, NATO pilots, their inner realities crushed by news of Nietzche's death, turned their spiritual turmoil outward by destroying the Chinese embassy in Belgrade. And the Chinese themselves, also experiencing a values crisis following reports of the death of the famous reputed philosopher, reacted with "rage and incomprehension." [4]. A special United Nations meeting was called to deal with the erupting crisis. In light of explosive worldwide reaction to the CNNS report of May 6, 1999, in which this news service pointed out that Nietzche is dead and that God is still alive, critics are appearing and protesting that CNNS should never have emphasized the news. But we stand by our reportage, even while we lament the subsequent crises. ---------------------------<< Notes >>--------------------------- [1] "Doomsday prediction grips India." UPI, 5/7/99.
