...But of these sophisms and elenchs of merchandise I skill not...
Milton, Areopagitica
Except he had found the
standing sea-rock that even this last
Temptation breaks on; quieter than death but lovelier; peace
that quiets the desire even of praising it.
Jeffers, Meditation On Saviors

Neither Wilén’s nor Ardin’s texts complain of rape.
-
Ardin's the woman the swine-news drones are championing as the rapee in Assange's currently-happening legal difficulties with the Swedish police.
The fdl piece links her w/ "Cuban" exciters of turmoil and nasty dreamers of scenarios of reconquest, inc. the "Cuban-American mafia".
It is the opinion, strongly held, of inf38, that the food chain of that mafia links vertically upward to a virtually invisible criminal organization, multi-national, hydratic, ruthless, that traces its ancestry directly to Meyer Lansky, the king of kings of pre-Castro Cuba's real economy, which was like Bangkok Vegas and your local street-ho drug-get boulevards all rolled into one tidy tropical island getaway.
It was a Cuba whose ostensible ruler, Batista, was mostly a beard for Lansky's vice operations on the island, in the 50's a wide-open sin park. So not only did the rico aristocracy of Cuba get booted to the penile state virtually en masse, Lansky's thugs and pimps and blackmailers got the heave-ho too. Creating a thirst for vengeance in men known for their long-arc vendettas.

Reconstruction
All it takes is a five-year-old in pale blue coveralls drawing in a coloring book for a door to open into the light, for the house to be built again and the ochre hillside covered with flowers.

"The people imagine they pray before God. But this is not so, for
prayer itself is the essence of divinity."
Anonymous Hasid
"Without religion, however, magic by itself draws man fatally under
the thrall of disincarnate beings who pervade the earth and feed upon
the emotional energies of the human organism. These are called demons,
but the word has ceased to have anything but childish meaning for
modern people."
Anonymous Gnostic monk
"God has not died for the white heron...God has not appeared to the birds."
Yeats
"If the Apocalypse is really just around the corner the correct
attitude would seem to be one of lively curiosity."
