   %COLLUSION CONTROL PLEASURE JOY AFFECTION ADDICT 900529

     For an addictive collusion to survive it must control
the well-springs of motivations which might lead people to
see  through  the  dishonesty of the  collusion.    For  a
collusion  to  survive  it must  dominate  (control)   all
thought processes in a systematically dishonest way.   Any
source of motivation which might lead people away from the
systematically  dishonest  way,   must be  taboo  for  the
collusion to survive.

     Any   source  of  pleasure,    joy,  satisfaction  or
fulfillment which might lead people to choose any but  the
collusions'   systematically dishonest logic is a  threat.
All  forms  of authentic intimacy,  affection  and  sexual
relationships are a threat to the systematic control which
addictive  collusions  have over their participants;   for
they  all  are  grounded in honesty,  and  collusions  are
grounded in dishonesty.

     Thus it  is that collusions operate  in  ways   which
undermine   authenticity  wherever  there  are   intimate,
affective    and/or   sexual   relationships:    replacing
authenticity  with authority,  intimacy with  objectivity,
affection with affectation, and spontaneous sexuality with
conventional proprieties.

     Every behavior must be under control of the dishonest
logic  of the collusion.   There must be no cracks in  the
armor.  All must appear to be proper and in fulfillment of
respected ideals;  even if then there is no intimacy,   no
affection  and no  fulfillment  in  sexual  relationships.
Only  then  can  the collusion survive.   It is irrelevant
that  people do not feel like surviving,  and do not  feel
that they are surviving.  It is irrelevant that global war
is threatened in the name of security and  that the global
ecosystem   is disintegrating, for despite  all  this  the
collusion  is surviving,  and our survival depends on  its
survival, or so it seems.
