Just Another Day

Today President Bush signed that pivital housing bill designed more to bail out the Fanny Maes and the Freddy Macs than to help the individual home mortgage victim. Of course you know the borrower now has to give up new information to the government. Also if he sells his home rather than chose to pay it off, it's worked so that the bank gets ninety percent of the interest. All the same the President held a "quiet" signing ceremony because I suspect he didn't want the specific terms of this bill too well known. In terms of the economy as a whole the GNP is apparently still rising and not falling and now they are actually saying more jobs have been created. And we've had a rash of news coming out that this or that bank is NOT as in debt we we previously believed.

Ted Stephens that Republican senator from Alaska was indicted yesterday for getting special favors from the oil companies, although the specific list of pecadillos seems small compared to the sins of others. This is the famous senator who built the Bridge to Nowhere connecting up an Alaska island where I imagine the people there didn't even WANT the bridge, and most of them probably are going to move now. You know how disagreeable the senator has been in committee hearings. Even so the experts say it isn't a "done deal" that he will lose in November since he over the years has brought so many pork barrel projects to his constituants.

Yesterday's earthquake here in California was 5.4 on the rictor scale but from my personal vantage point it felt bigger. I remember the Whittier one on October first 1987 and believe me this one felt much bigger than that one, with violent swaying. Of course I don't know what kind of soil conditions we may have here. I'm a little surprised at the air play the earthquake has had in the national news since we used to get five & a half point quakes all the time. But the past fourteen years it has been quiet. Also this quake occurred in the middle of the day rather than in the morning or evening. The only time that happened before was in the movie "Earthquake".

Our esteemed governor has put California employees on Federal minimum wage at $6.15 an hour, which nobody can live on, till they vote out a budget. We go through this sort of thing every year in California. John and Ken say we don't need more education money because there are fewer kids. As far as I know we are at record student population numbers and they said last year was the biggest year for newborn babies since 1957, and that's going back a ways.

We know about John Mc Cain's flip flops. Of course both he and Obama are flip flopping in the conservative direction. Both candidates are running to the Right as fast as they can. Even so Obama is only ahead five or so points in the polls, which indicates to me there is a vast untapped resavuar of Conservatism out there that will express itself at the ballot box. When Randi Rhodes used the phrase "reversable talking points" I thought of that questionaire where when you read it downward it has things like "Do you love me" Of course "Would you ever leave me?" I'd never do that. "Are you going to beat me up now?" I'm shocked you'd even ask. "Would you lay down your life for me". Honey you know I would. But then it says after you're married you read the questions and answers from the bottom of the page upward. I thought perhaps they were going to do something like this with Senator Mc Cain's questions and answers.

You may know that in the Charles Manson case the perpetrators were intending to take a wallet from a Black man and plant it as a key place to make the cops think a Black person committed the murders. But something went wrong and the damming evidence never surfaced. Something like this happened on Days of our Lives where this Hollings tape was destroyed with the full knowledge and agreement of a chief police detective on the case. Now he's having moral second thoughts. Meanwhile Paul Hallings isn't even dead but still alive in a basement, which might explain why they haven't found the body. But now the detective's wife, Hope read an E mail from John Black with the message "What happened to that key evidence in the Hollings case?" Normally with a criminal they have minutes to alter key evidence before the police catch up with them. This was the case in "Dial M for Murder". However in the TNG episode "Clues" they botched it the first time around but were given a second chance to "get it right" so to speak- - where everyone's memory was wiped out and they started fresh. But what if you had more than hours. What if you had more than days or weeks to "set up" and "plant" evidence? What if you had years? What if you had hundreds of years? Do you think you could get it "right"? This is the case with the Catholic Church which had nearly a hundred years before anything was even written down. People wonder what life would have been like if the Nazis had taken over at the end of WW II and, say, ruled for thirty years, till 1975. That seems an imense period of time. What sort of dastardly damage do you suppose they could do to our history books in that period? I don't know about you but I haven't had the most positive experiance when it comes to trusting or believing in the veracity of Christians. I'm not convinced by the things they say, and more important emphasize, that the Truth is even that important to them. I would love to be wrong. Both liberals and conservatives have more or less bought into the same "Story" about the origens of the Church. The only difference is that liberals have an almost religious belief in the LACK of any supernatural intervention. Yet they stress the importance of "The Faith" all the same. Just roll it over in your mind a little.

The importance of liberating women from the dominence of men cannot be over-stressed, because history has shown this is the BEST way to cure the over-population problem. Paul Erlich has stated that the optimal population of the world is two billion people. We are at seven billion now. There are untold problems we'd never even have to worry about were it not for the un spoken of overpopulation problem. Scientists have demonstrated animals begin to act in unpredictable ways when there is overpopulation. There is no reason on God's green earth that women should have to put up with 73% of the pay of a man for the same work. Sexism is rampent in society today. When women are regarded as property by men, men see them as baby producing machines. On a Star Trek episode they once had a society with three sexes - -men, "women" and human incubators. It was this third sex that was driven to suicidal desperation. It's true that some women seem to want to be dominated by men. But I suspect this is because they've been brainwashed not to trust themselves. And so they trust not "big brother" but "big husband" to offer them that blanket of economic security. And to get that they will whore themselves out or do whatever is necessary to achieve it.

Mars - - Why Not?

Today I wasn't asked for my password. Sixty Minutes re-showed their Going to Mars by 2030 segment again. While I was still in elementry school I knew about the over-population on earth and figured naturally that at some future date mankind would spread out to "New Frontiers" just as they had done in the past as a natural course of events. There of course was that cartoon series Space Explorers that stated there would be a mission to Mars in 1978 and at the time (in 1958) this seemed like a perfectly reasonable date to me. When I was in fifth grade, Jack Kennedy made his speech about putting a man on the moon and returning him safely to earth before this decade was out. How sad that a fifth grader watching Sixty Minutes last night would not realize the dream of going to Mars untill he was in his thirties, if we even kept that timetable. We know how a President Mc Cain fears timetables. I believe it's been since that broadcast that the latest space rover has determined that in all likelyhood there is life potential on Mars because of the content of the soil. We know there is water on Mars that we could make use of, and now we knew we would have soil to grow crops. So it seems to me that human colonization on Mars is "doable". As one person put it it may be less importantl whether there was PAST life on Mars. The important thing is whether there is FUTURE life on Mars. They are already test firing rockets, and they have those exercise equitment thingies in action. We are at last headed in the right direction. But Richard Nixon is to blame for scuttling future exploration of the Moon by destroying all the Saturn rockets. This to me is one of the crimes of the 20th. century. Back in those days we were spending four percent of our GNP on space exploration. Today we have "the space program on food stamps". We are spending on sixth of one percent, or something- on space exploration. The ammount the average citizen pays per day on space is fifteen cents, the price of a couple breath mints. We as a people need to get our head out of our ass and decide that space is indeed important. It's pointed out that man can do in a few minutes what it takes one of these robotic devices a whole day to do.

Of course there seems to be some sort of massive Fear of the Future, at least where Jesus Christ is concerned. He never wants to talk about it on his radio program. Yesterday I tuned in for part of one call where Jesus was in an extended monolog with a caller, for which I don't know the original question. If I had to guess I'd say it had something to do with a young woman calling in to acertain when she was going to encounter Romance in her life. Jesus talked about ripening fruit and how you have to wait for just the right moment when the taste is the sweetest. Indeed this crock of shit Jesus was dishing out has already been responded to in my recent blog postings. I would just like to pose three questions for Jesus to think about. If you're starving in the desert about to die, and you come accross a pear of pomegranet tree in the desert- - are you going to take one bite of the fruit and then say "This fruit isn't ripened to perfection. I think I'll wait a week". You don't have a week. Also- - we know from the news lately that Death's hand does not hesitate to strike when and where it will. There are thousands of lives snuffed out in the death of so many Wars. None of those people, often innocent children, had the luxury of their lives coming into full "ripeness to perfection". They never got to do all that stuff Neil Young talks about like getting a drivers license or falling in love. My third question is "Suppose it really isn't God at all who is scutteling your plans but there are a bunch of obstructing jerks around you who are saying "It's not us; it's God". So what's the down side till "Waiting till hell freezes over" so to speak? What is hell in a sense Did "Freeze Over"? There was a thing on KCET ch. 28.4 in which this gigantic ice dam was formed around Missula, Montana about twenty thousand years ago near the close of the ice age. This ice dammed up a river and it formed Lake Missula, which apparently was huge. It was as bit as lake Erie and lake Onterio combined. But the day came when all this water rampaged accross the land and it ended up in this "Badlands" area in Washington State, in a region I never knew about. There are sharp canyons and crags, and giant boulders thrown all about in willy nilly fashion. There are mysterious ripples in the ground which normally are seen in connection with oceans. This "Disaster" occurred not once, but perhaps fifteen or twenty times, separated by intervals of perhaps several hundred years.

As you know in Lyndon Johnson's voting rights speech of 1965 he says "Too many negroes are greeted with the news that the day is wrong or the hour is late, or the man in charge is not there". So it is with God answering prayers. We've all heard about the urgency of NOW. As a young person I listened to the sermons of Harry Green who was always talking about how "Now is all you have". This incredible ameoba like pace at which our government moves today on things like space exploration is amazing. This idea that the Iraq War has to go on forever is a strange one. It's been going on for five & a half years, way longer than World War II. My problem is that Obama is playing in the enemies ball park but not calling the war Evil. If you see the war as Evil, and it always has been, this changes your perception as to how and when we should get out. If you have a gambling addiction, if someone says you should walk away now, it isn't relivant whether you are winning. It isn't revivant whether you are losing. The point is to quit doing it. I don't see why we can't adopt this mind-set for looking at the Iraq War.

I was going to tall this blog posting "Peace Love and Understanding". Death's hand has struck that Universalist Church in Knoxville. Apparently the guy is just mentally deranged. I would at this time like to allay some fears to say there is no connection between the demon "Asmodeus" and wiccans or witchcraft, even though some of the material about Asmodeus comes from a fifteenth century German wiccan publication. One thing Asmodeus is known for is "keeping Secrets". I don't find anything unique in this. I have secrets that I'm not telling. A stock line of Jim Cooper is "There is power in secrets". As to Greg Laurie's son dying in a car crash- - this is the work of the Cassiopians, or more notibly the Crestorians, who also brought you the January 1994 earthquake, and also Robert Plant's car crash in summer 1975. These people often strike angrily and don't particularly care about "collateral damage" and often miss their target. We did not list Def Lepord among the Aries "Mu" rock groups because they hadn't given up all their "foreign entanglements", if you know what I mean. Craig Laurie apparently wasn't saved by Chuck but by Lonnie Frisbee in Newport Beach. I never had any problem with Craig Laurie, as I did most other Calvary pastors. Pete Richards said that "Lonnie Frisbee", who converted Craig, was "off, somehow". I later learned Frisbee was gay and that he died in 1993. Now we are hearing about a possible "gay" connection with that Nashbille church. There were some who said that God caused the Northridge earthquake in 1994 because he was disgusted with all of the Pornography filmed there. The Federation informed me that the source behind the earthquake was no friend to Born Again Christianity. In case you are wondering I learned several weeks ago that "Crestorian" was indeed the right name, and that they revered an indivual named "Crestus". But I don't know anything specific about "Crestus".

The Power of Asmodeus Commands You

Wel'll start with the news. Today Governor Swartzenegger signed the already infamous ban on all trans fat oils in foods in resturants. Food fascisum is here. This is a grevious violation of our freedom of choice. I think the law is slated to take effect for bakeries a year or so from now. Los Angeles is close to or has passed a moritorium on new Fast Food resturants in the ghetto, in South Central Los Angeles. This is a transparently racist law because "we all know about Black's propensity to eat fried foods". Again this is a violation of market forces. Of course plastic bags are illegal now and apparently styrophoam containers will be phased out. So many of these "green" laws are tilting at windmills, literally. I wish T Boone Pickens all the best. He has a reputation as a financial tycoon and genious, and pray he hasn't lost his midas touch.

Obama has been making a lot of speeches you can see on the internet any time. He's tallented at stringing words together. What I haven't heard out of him is the sort of cutting edge reality that you hear from either Thom Hartman or Ralph Nader. Obama seems content to retreat into stock phrases that have been used a hundred times over. I hear little "moral imperitive" that the whole idea of this War is wrong and an ongoing offence to God. I hope that Berock Obama has his "relationship to his maker worked out". People who could die any time need both a paid up life insurance policy and a "paid up AFTER life insurance policy", if you know what I mean.

Well, the warning- - - Cannon ball- - - has been fired accross the bow. Christians have declared total war on Islam the same way John Kay declared total war on "The Pusher". There is an hour and a half video out detailing the horrors of Islam and how the Koran commands that you either subjegate or kill people who refuse to convert to Islam. Also did you know most of the armed conflicts in the world are Islam's fault? I didn't. And it may not be true. Apparently in the Crusades the Christians were peace loving people who just wanted their religious sites preserved from the Moslem INVADERS. And there is the law of supersession (?) where if there is any appeal to Peace in the Koran- - if there is a verse imploring violence that was written after this then "Allah has the right to supercede himself with a Better revelation". According to this project there is a whole protocol of when it's OK to outright lie and deceive others. My hunch is that they pulled all sorts of things out of context. I saw this in Google videos. Apparently Moslems in Europe are highly dangerous "sleepers" because there is with Islam no separation of the spiritual aspects of the religion- - and governmental force, and people who don't see "what these people in Europe really want" are fools. They only want to "take over".

Sometimes I speak in "standard radio talk show topics". That's the Light side of ME (which does not stand for Medical Examiner, but I thank you for the complement anyhow) and now we're journeying to what some may call the Dark Side. In the Federation population there are various fans of individual people, both on earth and of lots of other undisclosed planets. For instance there are Pete Richards fans, and they are such a lobby that Mark Campbell (we're not sure while he was alive or after he died) issued an edict that was adopted that Pete Richards would always be portrayed in a favorable light as some kind of a Super Hero. Oddly enough in November of 2005 when that Super heroes movie- - whatever it was called- was out Pete admitted afterwards that he fancied himself as a Super Hero when he was younger and that he identified with all these retired Super Heroes who were no longer or outright forbidden to use their super powers. We already mentioned in late May of 2007 in 'How the Federation Lost the War" blog posting, that the "congragation of the Faithful" of Zachery had metamorphisized into something you wouldn't recognize and I no longer identify with. In this posting I also note the then growing "Howard Richards" lobby.

Then for all you SKULL AND BONES people we have a real treat today. Meet your guardin Demon. This is Asmodeus. The spelling varies from text to text but schollars agree that it's the same entity being described. Stewart Sutcliffe (alies Bones) has always been known by me to have been represented by a famous demon. It was September of 1982 I believe that I learned something from a source I'd rather not reveal- - about a Priest who was a closet worshipper of Asmodeus. The Catholics regard him as the demon of lust. Others regard him as a demon of death. I had also previously known that Stewart was somehow associated with the apocraphal book of Tobit, alias Tobias, but I never knew how, and I have never read the book. It turns out that Asmodeus has a starring role in that book but is defeated by Ralpeal. If you never heard of Ralpeal, perhaps (maybe) the Federation has blacklisted him. He is said to have aided in the construction of the Temple of Solomon, which you know from Us is even more ancient than the Hebrew people believe it to be. It is said that Solomon was at times even posessed by Asmodeus. Asmodeus is said "to run the gambling cassinoes in hell". Then again this connection with gambling is something that has been part of Federation loore for a long time. Unfortunately (for followers) Asmodeus doesn't seem to have much power now or for a long time and the Hebrew Thalmud regards him as more of a prankster, trickster type.

There is one myth about "muah" (that's ME for you people in Rio Linda) that has persisted and I don't know whether I believe it or not. (And I ain't saying) This myth gained plausability in 1992 and for a while had me kind of freaked. But they put out a promotional 45 rpm vynal record in the Federation in September of 1992. It bombed. The Reigellians were sold on the idea of putting out the A side as the B side with "You Just Don't Care" by Saantana as the new A side, because Santana music is hard to find on Reigel VI. As one Reigellian record producer put it "This particular song is one of the few Santana songs that comes up to production standards I would set myself for signing groups to a label". You Yahoo fans can catch the song, or else go to Napster. The B Side is "She's Not There" by the Zombies. This song has grown to have a secret meaning. F H, a Romulan I have known since the age of four (you heard right) was instrumental in helping get this "promotional" 45 out. In early 2008 the Federation thought "Let's re-release "She's Not There" as one of these "commemorative" 45 vynal records. What they did was make an EP out of it with "You Got to Hide Your Love Away" (the Anthology version with Lennon's chatter about Paul breaking a glass, and no flutes) and then "She's Not There" on the A side and "Hoochy Coochy Man" by Steppinwolf on the B side, of course paying the Andromeda Federation due royalties for the latter. Well, all three songs are supposed to be about me but they don't want the public to know it's about me. (Wait. Does that even make sense?)

Just today, or maybe it was yesterday- - Romulan and Federation forces combined to put out a "promotional" 45 rpm single- - apparently promoting the Rapture of people on Planet Earth or something. This single has "The Ballod of You & Me and Puneil" on one side with "Magic Bus" on the other. The Romulan video to "Puneil" (made for a movie that never got completed) back in 1967 was resurrected thanks to F H, (I'll have to ask Sylvia Browne about him) . You know how Hollywood people talk about "current chatter and gossip". Well, there is some sort of a buzz in the air these days. Nobody is going out of their way to tell me specific detales, though.

On the Perfect as Enemy of the Good

I think we're headed for disaster
And very few of us will be saved
Unless our Captain is Proficient
We'll all be capsized by a Wave

"I love a good song parody in the morning"

This UFO guy is making the news now, and has his interview on the internet. Apparently he's an ex Apollo astronaut and the sixth man to walk on the moon. What do I think about this? I don't think it will ammount to anything. There seems to be an almost set belief system of little gray men with big saucer eyes that everyone adhers to. He says governments are opening up and revealing documents, and that our own government may soon tell us the Truth. Again, I don't think so. Back in our first set of blog postings in April of 2006 in "Escape from Egypt" I did a thing on The Prime Directive, although when you read it, it has more to do with man's relationship to animals. People are looking for some Power from beyond to enlighten them. As the guy said, if their motive were to destroy us we'd be gone by now. Last night they had one of those episodes on Smallville that ticked me off the first time I saw it. It was about a Black guy who obtained Super powers by chewing kryptonite gun. And of course it's Clark's duty to "keep the nigger down" so to speak. Clark has to be the only superhero on the show and he's the only one who can be trusted to "handle" the super powers, although on the show he is doing precious little with them in the way of benefiting society as a whole. What we see on this show in microcosum is what we also see in "The Church" when it comes to "The Church" being the sole oracle of perfection. To these people to merely do something "because it's a good thing to do" is insufficient. Carried to its logical argument it would go "Saving the world from evil may be a good thing for us but it isn't God's best". This attitude is "refined" further by the Calvary Chapels who say "The reason why we won't help you is that "God's Best" is "out there, waiting for you" and we don't want to interfere with it. I think the truth is simpler than all that. These people are driven by a supreme Egoism and vanity and think they are the sole repository of knowledge and power. They see themselves cornering the market on all supernatural powers". Of course on the Superman show it just so happens that every other visitor from Krypton is some kind of evil, homocidal maniac. To keep people in ignorance is to maintain an illicit and selfish power over them. I will say this about the Federation and the Romulans. Roomer has it that some select people have been meeting from each side and both agree there is some sort of rapture or transportation of souls from Planet Earth in the near future. The best guess date for that is September 21st. 2009, so you might circle it on your callendar.

THE SEVEN VIRTUES

I stumbled on a thing with Pope Gregory, who in addition to doing the seven deatly sins, also did the seven virtues. I would like to do my own set of virtues and vices now. The first virtue is FAITHFULNESS, FADELITY. This means being true. True to your moral code, true to yourself, true to your spouse and your other loyalties. The corosponding vice is FLAKINESS, and also Deceit and Dishonisty Treachery.

HOPE: Hope means to believe in the basic good of mankind and God's creation. Its corosponding vices are Negativity and Jadedness and Doubt. It's amazing how many Scientology engrams are connected with unfounded doubt. This is truely a crippling vice.

CHARITY AND COMPASSION The corosponding vice is "Huberous", which is sort of a wrathful pride. Calvary Chappels have this in spades in that they are all ego centric and deal strictly out of an "I'm perfect; you're not OK" mentality. They claim that their closing their eyes to either their neighbor's or the World's problems is just "letting them work out their own karma" or something. What it is some of these people, notibly pastors, have been blessed with such perfect lives in their own eyes they don't want to contemplate putting any of it at risk even for a second, but hope after death to be translated into the Kingdom of Chuck Smith, where The Big Kahuna has his venerated position but they rule right underneath him, with their own children for several generations are viewed by themselves as some sort of a divine race.

BRAVERY: This is one totally missing from the usual seven, as is cowardess missing from the list of vices. But it's such an important one. CS Lewis teaches that Courage is the one thing Satan cannot give his followers. All the things on the negative ledger are things the Calvary Chappels have in abondance. So much of what they do stems for moral or pragmatic cowardess. In my "Prime Directive" blog I refer to these people as "Cowards and hypocrites".

JUSTICE: The pursuit of justice, both for yourselves and for your friends and for your race is what I call an important virtue. Fairness and equity are virtues. But so often the concept of what's right and Fair are denigrated by men of the cloth. In like manner what is Good is seen as dispensible in the name of the Perfect. Just remember this my friend: Po Pot and his raving of Cambodia, and Adolph Hitler, Stalin, and Mao's supression of Tibetan culture are all in the "perfect will of God" because Calvinists believe everything that happens is the will of God. But the Bible says "God saw the earth and it was Good". He didn't say it was "Perfect". Perfection in the Greek has a conotation of fullest development of potential and subsequent immutability. I do not strive as they do for "The Perfect Will of God". I think I can do better than that. Apathy is of course the corosponding vice to all of this.

FORTITUDE, PERSEVERANCE The oposit of these virtues is Slothfullness. This is a vice of the flesh and is one of the origional seven. Many people are plagued with it. Such things as being on a Welfare program are governments means of tempting us by feeding the Flesh.

PRUDENCE, DISCRETION This is the virtue of exercizing wisdom for the moral consequences of our actions. The corosponding vices are more of the fleshly ones such as averice, glutteny, lust, and the like. People don't think things through before they act.

IN OTHER NEWS - - - Thom Hartman talked about that squerrel that was given twenty percent more leaves and things in his nest by some human do-gooder and soon all the squerrels in sight of that nest made their nexts twenty percent more plush themselves. This has to be some sort of self preservation instinct that animals have by way of "Keeping up with the Joneses". It seems George Bush decided to sign that Real Estate bail out bill when a provision was put in to fingerprint all the applicants. How could the President resist that? If you are wondering I am getting vibes anew that someone out there is out to kill Obama. And Mc Cain's words may have an ironic twist about "When I make a speech in Germany I'd like to make it as President". What is this is Obama's last chance to visit Europe? I'm also picking up the vibe now that the Louisiana governor is the man Mc Cain has already picked for Vice President. This is what the governor believes himself, and he's overtly lying when he denies he wants the job.

The Thing That Should Not Be

If this doesn't transcribe from Word, I'm dead

OK I would like to aim my fire at Johnny Wendell. His first topic was “What was the most important day of your life”. Oddly one of my “most important days” was the day that I stopped drinking. Unlike Johnny I curse that day every day of my life and would go back in time if there was a way to avoid it. This day redefined who I was as an “old person” at a mere age fifty, for one, and a lot of other negative things it’s not edifying to think about. Like so many comtemporaries of mine in this place, I was stabbed in the back by my family. Every other “significant” day in my life is also a negative one if we use the Dr. Phil definition as a “defining moment”. I do not regard a “first day at work” or a wedding anniversary or graduation or anything else as truly significant as the negative days because they did not define who I was. If I were a master automobile designer for GM then the first day I went to work for GM would be significant and I would frame it and hang it on my wall.

The other topic was old people and driving. Apparently Bill Novak at age 77 mowed somebody down in his Corvette, and he says “He didn’t know he hit anybody” even though they slammed into his windshield and bounced off. A guy on a bike chassed him down. Perhaps we can add hit and run to his charges. Does a 77 year old think he can impress the women with a Corvette? Like so many old people and even congressmen, he apparently got a slap on the wrist and was soon back at work. So I agree with the idea that people over age seventy ought to take a drivers test, perhaps every two years. But Wendell doesn’t stop there but indulged in a little twisting of the knife, and that’s what bothered me. First he died it to drawing Social Security “on the government’s dine”. When a lady caller called in to say that people don’t get SS unless they pay into it, Johnny got mad and do that manly thing talk show hosts are noted for. They hang up. You wouldn’t have been able to do that in the Old West if you picked a fight in a saloon. But then he said that the test should be given every six months, and if the entire driving population has to take the test every six months to make it fair, so be it- - Johnny says. Can you imagine how all of that would tie up the Dept. of Motor Vehicles manifold worse than it already is? Johnny further suggests that each year the test be made more and more difficult.

You know that there are good symbiotic relationships and those that are parasitic, and I suggest that Religion is a paracitic relationship. You know that old line Mallery said to Skippy on Family Ties, “I thought we had our relationship down pat. You chase after me and grovel for acceptance, and I reject you”. These pastors have the sheer audacity to talk about “Idols” in your life. Last Saturday night Billy Graham on KTBN was giving one of these “Jesus wants all your money” sermons. And like I say, alcohol was the only thing that kept me sane after a while trying to block out so many negative experiences, many centering on religion. These pastor idiots have forgotten what an “Idol” actually is. An “Idol” is not your car, or your job or your family, as they would tell you that it is. Any time a Pastor tells either a husband or wife to do something behind the other one’s back that would undermine their marriage, I get suspicious. There are certain symbotic relations of plants, and there are certain paracitic plants and animals that only end up killing their host in time. Any God who cant survive without a human “host” really isn’t a “God” at all.

You know the libertarian platform is interesting. It’s for FAIR competition and enterprise and is against either ghetto or corporate walfare. Randy Rhodes has often spoken of “group shared risk with big corporations- - but they get to pocket all the enormous profits them make themselves”. People like to say that “The rich pay more taxes now than they used to”. Heritage Foundation touts this fact. This wouldn’t have anything to do with the fact that they MAKE so much more now than they used to- - - would it? There is a glairing way in which rich corporations exert a parasitic relation and influence on all of us. This is by all the high priced attorneys that insurance companies retain, particularly H M O’s in order not to give us our just payments. Sometimes I think for every dollar they save playing the tightwad with us, they spend two dollars on an attorney. I have a draconian solution to this little problem Johnny Wendell is sure to like. I propose a 100% rate Attorney’s Tax that insurance companies have to pay every time they pay their attorneys. And I’d make sure there were no loopholes in the law, either. I believe in the old school philosophy that the government should encourage activities it likes with credits, and discourage those practices that are contrary to societal interest by being levied steep taxes. Of course these taxes would go into a special fund to reduce premiums of everyone who pays into an H M O. I would also put what I call a “Capital Risk” tax on commodity speculators. The goal here is that when an ordinary person loses they can’t “double down” and make their money back and keep doubling down till the cows come home till they win. I’d have this in Las Vegas. How it would work is that the greater your Net Worth- - I’d lop off a certain percent of the Sale price or the cash in price- - and the greater your Net Worth the greater this percentage would be of the Sales Price. What this would particularly do is discourage things like arbitrage where you play both sides of the market off against each other. This is not a tax on “profits” per se, but a “tax at the pump” kind of tax where the tax is levied right at the point of purchase or sale. This tax would have little impact on an average person because it wouldn’t be that large but would hit the market churners. Also if you bought on ten percent margin, the tax would be at ten times the rate of paying 100% cash.

Now we can turn our sights to the political campaign. Obama has redeemed himself in my eyes in that he has stood by his sixteen month withdrawal timetable even under pressure- - and he has reminded Meliki that Meliki had originally sided and agreed with him on this issue. Apparently the German press is so pro President Bush, Obama is getting negatively skewed coverage there. Some have stated that Obama, unlike Mc Cain has a rather hostile view of the press and doesn’t like them. Old man Mc Cain on the other hand is routinely protected by the press. Mc Cain makes all these gaffs that are allowed to pass uncommented on. But apparently John Mc Cain screwed up so badly yesterday that he announced that on Wednesday he would isolate himself. Personally, I’m not sure just one day of not talking to the press will do it. There’s always tomorrow. I agree with Johnny Wendell that whatever you did, no matter the valor, fooury years ago will by itself qualify yourself to be president today. In this day and age a person needs to be mentally on top of all the news. It would seem John Mc Cain has suffered from several “Senior moments” lately. Mc Cain spoke of the nation of Czechoslovakia rather than its two component nations. He spoke of the Iraqi – Pakistani border. And he is noted for confusing Shiite and Sunni. How is he on other sects such as Sufi and Wahabiests and the Bathists Party? Also Mc Cain is wrong saying that the surge was the cause of the decline in Al Qaida terrorism. The truth is that in certain provinces the Iraqi people themselves decided in September 2006 that they hated Al Qaida more than they hated us. Also money talks and if the US government decides to pay both sides for not firing at each other, this one of those relationships that “benefits everyone” so to speak. We all know that “War is a racket” and there is no more obscene profit than a War Profit. Harry Truman wanted the full weight of justice to fall on War Profitiers. I think Obama needs to stress more than he is doing now the obscene relation between Bush and Chaney and Haliburten and other corporations.

I just might say in defense of the oil companies that they are meeting “Market demand at a fair price” and so much of the price hike we have seen is due to the over forty percent decline in the US dollar. Back when oil was at fourteen dollars a barrel a lot of us thought “Well if the price ever gets to forty dollars a barrel then alternate energy sorces will be profitable, but not now. Apparently “Now” never comes, and I’m still hearing the word that all this wind and solar and hydrogen stuff just isn’t panning out as planned You could call what we have an energy “addiction” but still it’s a “Product in demand”. As Rush Limbaugh points out if California were a country it would have the second highest energy consumption of any country in the world. So much for California being a “green” state. It is not. All of this “ecology” and “green” stuff is one bad joke. I think researchers better get their act together quick and find a way to cut the price of solar cells. Perhaps mass sales will result in “volume savings passing lower prices on to the customer”. Astrological indications are things will get worse before they get better. A President might need to smoke a little crack, just to be at his full state of readiness.

Will The Real Obama Please Stand Up?

Well Rush Limbaugh is an entertainer. There is no doubt about that. He portrays Berock Obama's trips to Iraq and Afghanistan and Europe is something an eighteen year old college student would take as a learning experiance. He referred to it as Summer Camp with hovering hilocopter parents represented by the media. And the media really is into this trip. But I would suggest that this is a politically dangerous trip for Obama. It can bear little good but the pitfalls are enormous. Obama could make some huge embarrassing gaff. You know, like President Bush wondering what the price of milk is at the supermarket. Of course is Obama changes his position at all from being "informed" the way Mc Cain is urging he be "informed about the surge, then this can only hurt Obama with his supporters. Mc Cain is not going to let go of the fact that Obama, unlike this blogger, was against the surge, and that Mc Cain was right in being the only Republican candidate to favor the surge, and now comes out smelling like a rose. But I'm thinking, "Welcome to Tommy's Holiday Camp" and we all know that's about indoctrination and brainwashing. Here at Tommy's Holiday Camp, time passes very slowly. Maybe it's June 10th. and there is that guy named "Barry", who is white and Jewish is leaving home for the first time and his insecurety shows. But he's an orthodox Jew and gets picked on by other Jews. And Barry is told that his brain is going to be inserted inside a Black man running for President, with Dr. Ralph at the controls. Here too are some detainees from demonstrations at the Democratic convention, which hasn't even happened yet. Here also it's July of 1960 and the guy Who would be John Lennon is being readied for his trip to Hamburg with the Beatles. This while the real John Lennon is working on a top secret project along with Lucas Roberts to expose the fact that FBI chief J Edger Hoover is really gay. There are a lot of Nepolians here, too. There are tall Nepolians and short Nepolians. Two hundred years ago Nepolian didn't like the fact that he was so short and he needed a taller double for publicity photos. But the beaurocracy here is so slow they don't know that Nepolian has been dead nearly two hundred years. So now little Junior is being freed from all his beasty relatives and his wicked Aunt Deedee (what, that's a different story) and now the only one he's hanging out with is his Old Grand Dad, and I don't mean the one with the chicken ranch in idaho. In Hamburg, Junior was "in his cups" a lot, but not because he'd won any trophies. Meanwhile Dr. Ralph is calabrating his machine in his lab in the basement of the old mansion by the lake, making sure that the brain waves are properly modulated. (It's always important to be well modulated when you speak) It's important that the voters be so confused on election day they can't tell Mc Cain and Obama apart, and from then on "White guilt" and "age-ism" will do the rest. Obama is one of those atomotons who never gets angry, and this could prove an invaluable asset in a heated debate.

But now President Bush is exercising his executive perogatives by telling the Germans not to let Obama speak at the Brandenburg Gate because of its emotive publicity value. Also our President has been leaning on Meliki not to agree with Obama's sixteen month withdrawal of troops plan. Apparently the German magazine Der Spiegle published the article and Bush wants a retraction or something. The odds are as stacked as a caller to a call in show and the radio host. He's the one with the microphone and the sound effects, and the ability to edit out anything he pleases, and the listeners never know what. There are roomers that during their first face to debate- - Obama kept hearing the sound of cracking nuts in his headset and he finally just exploded and blurted out "Stop chewing my nuts. I know what you're doing!"

MORE LIFE IN THE YEAR 1982

They had "game night" frequently at the Bosc house. Dominoes was no doubt the favorite, and they played that the most often. But they also played Pictionary, Risk(a game I came to develope a dislike of), Pit, that comodities game, Uno, and Trivial Pursuit, Scrabble, and occasionally standard card games. It was approximently Saturday May 22nd. when they went miniatura golfing at that East Anaheim miniature golf course. After this Tina and Gina brought over a new kitten that Jim named Bones, who was a black cat with seven white spots and was "hydro-phelic". Jim always said the six - one domino was lucky.

The following Saturday they had a dance at the Bosc house. The weather that day had been cold and dreary but they opened the door in the evening and turned the fan on, making me cold when I was over there. One guy Don, was dancing with a chick named Terry. It was soon after this that Michelle issued a strange prophecy in church. She said "Something is going to come up that will shock and disconcert everybody but not to worry because it's God's will". A day or two later we learned that Don had gotten a girl named Diedra pregnent. This was considered a major scandal for such a lilly pure church as Calvary Chappel.

It was the 3rd. of June another sleepy dusty delta day. Guy Owens got up and had a bowl of Cheerios. He'd been hoping to eat more later but just then he got a phone call. This was the famous day of the two mile hike in and out of the valley, on no food, testing one's strength. There were just three of us, me, Jim Cooper (who'd eaten a big meal) and Bobby Hayden. We hiked down to this lake and waterfall and I and Jim swam around in the brisk water.

Of course we went to the Premier of StarTrek II. This was in Westwood village and first we had dinner where I had a "London broil", which I was disappointed with. It was myself and Laura, and Jim and Shelly, and Bobby and Gina, and Pike and Madalaine, and I'm not sure specifically which others were there. It was a large group.

On the file "sougern" there is a recounting of how Bobby Hayden and Pike, who were both in the Marines, would "secure" a building where it was dark and they didn't know where the snipers were. And Bobby would say "No, you're dead, Jim". Apparently Mark Campbell went psycho during this late evening "war games" excersise and began playing mind games threatening to kill everyone in the room, like Jack Nichelson in "The Shining" or something.

There was a beach trip to Huntington Beach in mid June. But the weather had continued dismal this spring and it was cold, overcast and windy, and even covered up you felt cold as the evening wind blew relentlessly. "Delores" remarked that she was already sixteen and desperate for a boyfriend. There was another beach trip at the end of July in Carona Del Mar that had a nice grassy area. Delores and her sister, Sylvia, and their brother John came. But even at this late date it wasn't the warmest weather in the world. There had been some psychic on the Bruce and Tony show who accurately predicted the cold and dismal spring, and into the summer.

In terms of records purchasses, I usually liked to make sure nobody else owned the records I was intending to buy. Often people once owned them but didn't have them now. In the first half of May I bought "The First Family Rides Again", and "On the Third Day" by E L O, with a lot of songs that received fleeting radio play, and also "In God We Trust" by the Dead Kennedies. In June I bought "The Hunter", Blondie, last album, and "The Wall" because nobody else currently seemed to have a copy of it. Of course there was the key line "So is this where [I] came in". I think it was driven home dawning for me in a real way that there might be a real world out there after you die. Also channel 40 was doing their album "critiques" and labored on the word "Buggar" and what it really means. They had read this poem by a possed girl (also named Michelle) about "four times seven - seven times four - turn around you are no more" and it was coming up on the 28th. anniversary of the famous Blackwood Brothers plain crash. Of course there is the lyric of "Look out darling, there's a plane a coming". The seeds of my subsequently wierding out into some strange "pre identity" beliefs, were laid right here.

There was a Fourth of July baseball game at the Church, which was a school, as was the tradition. That evening there was a Fourth of July party at Ron's house. A favorite pasttime there is playing "around the world" ping pong. This house is also in a place where you can watch the fireworks being shot off from Disneyland. It was an unspecified time after this that we all went to Dodger Stadium to watch Fernando pitch. I think the game started at an odd time like five o clock or something. We sat in the left field pavilion where they had no beer.

We rode the Palm Springs Tram in mid July. If you don't mind my saying so this was the first hot day. It was warm at the top of the mountain where others such as Gina had a lot more energy to dart about than I did at that 9000 elevation. In the evening I told Mark I did not want to see "The Secret of Nym" where they were all going, a cartoon movie. It was only the next day that I found out that Zachery had been called up and invited to come with them. He was six going on seven at that time.

It was later in July that I bought two more albums "The Dead Kennedys" first album, and also eight songs off of the Beatles Tony Sheridan album put out by "Phoenix 10" records. Early in February I had bought "Rare Hendrix", JH in New York in 1966 on the same label. Occasionally we went Bowling. One night we were at Linbrook Bowl, and Ron was going with Pam at the time, so you had two people (couples) who wern't with their eventual mates.

During this time the stock market was making all time lows. But the thing is nobody thought about that because it had been going on so long it would be like a school of fish commenting on how wet the water was.

My First Six Months As A Bosc

Jesus Christ told a lady caller today that
She needed to give up her Idol (in this case alcohol)
My definition of an Idol is anything that shields you
against total insanity & completely losing your mind.

-Guy Owens

There are detales of the Beatles's break-up even a few of the well informed don't know. For instance John met with Paul about the 21st. of September of 1969 and Paul suggested to John that perhaps the Beatles could now begin playing in small clubs under another name. John thought this suggestion was "Daft". But what you don't know is that the Beatles had to have decided before this already to break up and after Abbey Road they were "done". We know this because Allan Klein had told the Beatles he was about to negotiate a bigger bonus on their Royalties with EMK and that any break up of the band would scuttle the whole thing- - and that the deal would be happening about September 23rd. or so. It would seem to me that Paul was rather taken off guard by John's "Daft" reply, as though previously he'd gotten a different vibe from him, or else Paul would not have even raised the idea in the first place.

I fantacized years ago that what if St. Paul or someone came down from heaven and announced that "Christianity is over". It has been decreed from On High to be rules out of Existance. And the reasons were that I, Paul no believed all that crock, and nobody else seemed to believe in it either so what's the point?" Oh well, it was just a passing thought...

It was in November a few days before Thanksgiving and it was a cold day. Bobby Hayden and Pike and me were watching TV. Jim Cooper was out. The two of them mentioned how cold it was getting in here and maybe we'd better build a fire or something. I told Bobby that we had a central heater and showed him where it was. I was surprized that neither he nor Pike know about it, but neither had lived here through a winter, but I knew where it was, and I had just moved in here. Jim Cooper used to use the term "Bosc" at first only to refer to the dog, (now departed) but then he began to refer to People as Boscs. One time when we had gone to see "Raiders of the Lost Ark" in early December we were on our way home and someone mentioned the idea of having shirts made that said "Bosc" on them. I said we should all have individual shirts with a single letter on the shirt. Bobby and Pike didn't go for that idea.

There was a Christmas party that the other three Boscs went to that I didn't. But I felt I had missed something because they kept talking about all these single girls like Tina and Gina. It turned out most of the girls they were referring to were real dogs and not worth bothering with. It was mid December and the last season football game. The Raiders and Chargers were playing and the TV went out - - poof! like that. I called Guy Owens living over on Pinewood whether we could borrow his. He said "My TV had been acting all weird since mid November. I think the thing is posessed. Every time I take it to the shop the guy says it's fine but when I take it home it's all screwy. I was going to take the bus down there because as you know I no longer have a car". In fact you're lucky you caught me home. Guy told Jim Cooper that his parents had another TV they could borrow at the Bosc house, and Guy and Jim rode in Jim's car to Guy's parents. Jim asked me if I wanted to come, but I think I was working on a Rubic's Cube that evening or something. I don't even remember who won the game.

I went to a Christmas gathering at Guy Owen's cousins house. I remember after dinner we took a walk and there was this couple David and Rose, who had a little girl. Pete Richards had announced he wasn't going because these people bored him. I happened to have left my jacket other there and years later Guy Owens gained posession of it, but I'm not suppose to know about that. Newyears eve in a spirit of "fitting in" everybody went to this party at Roger's house, but there was a guy named Ron there who turned the evening into some sort of religious dirge and bummed me and Guy out. I told him I was never going to another Newyear Eve party with this group. They had this little custum of "praying in the New Year", in this case 1982. Laura didn't come to this. But then Laura didn't come to a lot of things that I dragged myself to.

It was one Saturday late afternoon and the outside of the house flooded due to a leaky pipe or something. There was this sound of rushing water and a lake was fast forming around the house. Guy Owens came by and turned a valve and said that should do it- - and I don't think it should affect water pressure inside. It was early January and me and the other three Boscs, Jim, Bobby Hayden and Pike went to see some movie called "Modern Problems".

In early January I bought three record albums, "Animals" by Pink Floyd, "Secret Treaties" by BOC and "Re-Act-or" by Neil Young. In mid January in response to some Dr. Demento song about Jack Johnson not being allowed on the Titanic, I, with a few suggestions from Owens, sent the media a snail mail story about a ship sailing for somewhere which was headed for disaster. A lot of my stories in those days featured suddenly appearing on a vast, windy desert plain, and often at night. Then a UFO comes down and teleports you into another dimension, often through some portal that just opened up. Around the turn of 1981-1982 we also sent one of our famous rock compilations to the media- -and this one was heavy on punk groups like the Clash.

It was around January 20th. or something and there was a snow trip to Wrightwood. Bobby Haden drove his Olds Cutlass of course, and all of the usual people went including people from Jim's new Fullerton Church group, where I never attended and am glad I didn't. The next weekend was the end of January and there was a potluck gathering at the Bosc house. Guy Owens brought spaghetti. I guess Tina liked it, but Owens in general was dissatisfied with the lack of praise for his cooking. Owens decided to go to Pete Richard's bible study that night because he hadn't been in a long time, and he asked me if I wanted to go and I said "No. I'm on a low religion diet". Apparently he didn't enjoy the evening out much.

Both Guy Owens and I had a thing for this girl Michelle, who came to the Wednesday Bible Study at the church. In those days they were still meeting in the smaller room, and they were still serving coffee, a practice they soon abandoned. There was this girl named Rose whose dog had had puppies and Jim was arranging with her for a replacement for Toby, the dog. But nothing ever worked out. It was around mid February when there was another putluck dinner at Ron's house. I was hesitant to go but Guy talked me into it. This is where Jim developed romantic attraction tword his future wife Shelly. Guy told me she reminds him of "someone in a previous life that he knew". I tend tword belief in reincarnation myself.

Laura these days was in her "Pink" mode. We went through her Black phase, her Blue phase, her White phase, and now she was in her Pink phase. She was becoming anerexic, after previously developing a bit of an overweight problem. Also she had a bad reaction to her manic depression medication, lithium - - and I guess her skin turned all red or something. At this time we (Owens and myself) re-issued this album "The Late Great State of Pink" to the snail mail media. We both thought it was a great compilation and deserved another gander at.

During late February and early March- - Guy's parents paid to have the Pinewood house kitchen redone. So things were kind of chaotic there for a while, and they were happy to have their kitchen back in mid March. In early March I sent a thing to the media about a Nuclear Haulocost in the 2030's where the afternath was a government dictatorship and permission to travel from one zone to another- - and the sky was a ghastly shade of green. The air hung heavy and the wind never seemed to blow. There are references to "Pinewood Elementry", taken from Guy Owen's resident- - where the local Calvary Chappel met. During this time I was into "Days of our Lives" and Bobby Hayden would often come home lunch breaks and watch it. This girl Mary Anderson had just been murdered by the Salem Strangler, Jake Cosecheck, who must have killed ten women before he was caught. That's the way those things work.

We were great StarTrek fans. The program came on at eleven every evening. Jim Cooper thought we all ought to have names. He was Captain Kirk, of course, and Pike got his name from that one episode with a captain Pike in it. I think Bobby was Scotty and I don't remember who I was. I think Owens was Dr. Spock, and this is back before they had Black Valcans. This was around February as I recall. In mid March I bought three more record albums. I purchassed "Agents of Fortune" and "Carress of Steel" and also "Between the Buttons". But in early March I also purchassed "Hemispheres" by Rush, and "Highway to Hell", which Owens had been talking about getting. The very last meeting of Pete Richard's Bible Study was mid March 1982. It was a week or so later that yet another suggest Rock Compilation was sent to the media. This was "Paint It Black" in its first incarnation. Owens had tried to come up with a list in February but I "fixed it" and included the songs that need to be included and excluded the other ones.

We were always great fans of the Freeway Series between the Dodgers and Angels, and this game around April first was at Angel stadium, a day game. I rode in the green van and got to talk to Michelle the whole trip. For obvious reasons I had a decided atvantage over Guy Owens in this area. Owens even then was becomming restless and dissatisfied with you know who. It was the night before Easter and once again Jim Cooper talked me into going to some Saturday night Church service. It was a week later that there was a potluck at Michelle's house. What I remember was the bonatical setting and the natural wood framed house. It kind of reminded me of the lyrics to "Love Street". It was around April 20th. when there was a major power failure at least on the street of the Bosc house. This is the day of the Anaheim Fire caused by a palm tree igniting or a "bustle in your hedge row" to distort a lyric. Jim Cooper climbed the telephone pole to see if he could fix the problem himself and almost got killed. The electric surge blew out the TV somehow and there was the smell of smoke when everyone return to the house.

There was another single record compilation sent to the media containing sixties songs, that featured a pig with Hawaiian laes around its neck- - and something was dripping blood. It was late April and I called Guy Owens one evening about going to the beach with some single girls, even if they were Christian. I guess this like trying to tempt a diabetic with sugar. He was supposed to be in a state of matrimonia bliss with Laura. We talked about it a while- - - -

- - - at this point there was a fade-out in the transmission- - -

In early May there was a roller skating night. Guy said he had a cold or something but I urged him to come anyhow and he did. He started off a bit rusty. There were two more significant media mailings. One involved the "2112" prediction of the future out to that date. Two more world wars were predicted, one around 2012 and the other about twenty years later, that is worse. Also a spiritual revival in the 'fourties. The other media mailing was the "Guy Owens is dead" trial, in which Zachery appears in court and dazzles everybody with his whitiness. In this story Guy Owens committed suicide on the rail road track around mid November of 1981.

On May 13th. 1982, Guy's parents were at it again. This time his mother had people over at the Bosc house to remove the Ash tree in the back yard. It was a beautiful tree and its loss would be noticed for a long time. In its place- - frawns sprouted up but they wern't Ash tree frawns, but palm frawns. I was trying to come up with some sort of symbolism for this from books I had read about- - - - at this point the transmission feded out.
OK we didn't quite make six months

It's a thousand pages can you take a few?
I'll be writing more in a week or two.

Test - One Two Three Four

We are trying to copy from Word yet again.
I researched Sylvia Brown. I saw her web site and all the categories and her hundred years of predictions page. I also saw the “Stop Sylvia Brown” site. I also read the pro and the con articles in the Wickipedia. She believes in this Star Trek version of molecular ocelation frequencies, which is why we can’t see the dead. She’s also a fan of that “humans emit a low grade frequency” line used on Bewitched. She believes that heaven consists of a plane three feet off the ground. You can build your own house in heaven as long as you don’t block someone else’s view of a tree or a stream. I happened to think as bogus as she is, in terms of lies and deception she can’t compete with the Christians in my life. She believes aliens will completely take over in 2110 and that there will be no nuclear haulocost on earth and that in 2050 there will be a different type of spiritual revival on planet earth. I happened to think of that Moriety thing on Star Trek and how our life could be contained in a computer program crystal sitting on someone else’s desk. The only way you could hope to change your fate would be somehow to make psychic contact with your deceptors. I also thought what if this whole Christian crap and family crap I’ve lived with is so bad that in the Next Life I don’t remember it but it’s like that “total recall” movie where God has a whole fantasy past for you to relive. Which would be just what I’d want to do. “It seems so good I’d like to re-live it as if for the first time”. People have Terry Shivo-itius. We “learn something” by pain. What I mean is that people look at all this misery caused by the economy and say it’s “just life”. God, in a desperate plea to defend that which is indefensible says- - - “But why can’t we just let people like her be?” as Jesus Christ says. Let God get his jollies by watching her suffer. The answer is why should we cater to a God who has such a sick notion of pleasure, and by killing her, how is interfearing with that sick pleasure of God’s - - and Out.

The Fifth Anniversary Episode

This blog is being brought to you by-
"The Vetterans of Future Wars"
whom if I had my way
would have a lot more lobbying power
than they have in Congress.

This is the fifth anniversary of the Iraq War. I had a dream just before getting up at a quarter to seven. The punch line is that there is always a movie out during one war which almost exactly predicts the nature of the next war, if the people will just pay attention. In January of 1985 there was a movie out about a four day campaign of US troops to invade Iraq. At the same time there were real life war games going on in an Arizona desert, or perhaps it was Mexico. And they made the remark that the shadows were about the same length as will occur when the US is involved in a future war with Europe in the summer time. Introduced this time was an electric guitar with an odd looking plug that accepted some secret government computer software. Again as I said with each new war there would be a movie out. The whole idea was that the people of America would come to view War as entertainment and when a new war began they would all be sitting in front of their big screen TV sets to watch it avidly. But that “computer software” thing grew into bio-technic genetic research, and soon they were growing a real live crop of “Bush babies” that would be used to fight future wars. At various points in the dream I would be thrown back in time to warn people about what the government was doing, but of course every time I tried I was ignored.

People such as Randy Rhodes were saying what an epic masterpiece Obama’s speech was. I don’t know. It’s hard to imagine a grandmother who used racial epithets. I was raised in a household steeped in a liberal tradition where epithets of any nature were looked down upon. About the closest anyone came to it was sometimes grandma would talk about “Meeting a woman whom I swear was as black as the ace of spades”. Of course people talk about tension between the races and would you rather run into a group of Blacks on a dark street late at night or a group of Orientals going to a Bible Study. In my old apartment of course if you went out the back gate you were instantly in all Chicano territory and were aware of that. Out on the street in front were a mixture of blacks, whites, and Orientals. There would be a mixture of prostitutes, pan-handlers, and psychos. I’ll tell you my least favorite race to run into and that is Whites. It’s whites who are the psychos. Charles Manson and Ted Bundy were murdering psychopaths, and they were White. Obama talked about the frustrations of Whites who have failed to participate fully in the American Dream, because of our economic system which screws the working class. It’s kind of like the recessitation of Bo Brady in soap land. Can Obama recessitate his Presidential campaign with one epic making speech?

I think I’ve figured out why a potential President Mc Cain doesn’t want to be forced to withdraw troops earlier than he wants to. It’s like when I’m smoking a cigarette and Gary wants a few puffs off of the cigarette. So all the while I’m smoking I have to think in terms of “Gary is going to be wanting this”. So it isn’t really my time or my cigarette but I’m being watched the whole time. It could be that President Mc Cain has every intention of pulling our troops out of Iraq, but he just wasn’t want a gun pushed to his head while he’s doing it. Of course Mc Cain had that senate vote where he refused to condemn torture, and if we judge by that vote Mc Cain now thinks torture is OK.

Let’s discuss my new money proposition some more. My “economic aid to the poor will consist on “windfall” profits poor people can use. I plan to keep the Kennedy half dollar, which will be worth $2.50 in old dollars. Two old Kennedy’s may be brought to a redemption center for one new one or a 150% profit. The steepness of the pay-off on some coins is so that the old coins will be driven out of circulation. I'd also put limits on how many new half dollars you could receive at one time. But the old ones technically will only be worth ten cents in new currency because the “new” minted half dollars will be back ( ) to 75% silver and 25% nickel and store managers have to look for the sandwich copper. Old quarters won’t be used but may be turned in for a “new” dime worth fifty cents in old currency for a 100% profit. The new dimes will be the same size of the old dimes only golden color and thicker. The “new” quarters will be the old Sakaguia dollar piece, which may now be cashed in at what amounts to a 25% premium. Or they may be just spent and worth $1.25 (old currency) for the same 25% mark-up. Two old dimes may be turned in for a nickel, in a perverse form of justice, for a 25% premium since otherwise they’d only be worth four cents. Old dimes may also be legally spent as two cent pieces. Old currency can be turned in for premiums to encourage the public not hoarding these coins. That leaves pennies and nickels. Here you get a free ride. These coins will both rise to five times their value since neither will be recalled but both as legal tender.

This is Wednesday March 19, 2008 and I did not type yesterday. Yesterday morning I was wide awake when it was really early. There was so much commotion and voices in the hall I finally “gave up” and decided to get up. The clock said ten to six. Oddly during Obama’s speech on the radio I dozed off before the end. I had looked for it on TV and didn’t find it but it was on KTLK. Last night I caught the eight & a half minute edit of the speech in CNN, aware I was missing key elements. I downloaded a complete text of the speech from NPR, where I was inform you’d find it. But from here it gets strange. It was about a month ago I was at a web site done in red and white I thought was called “People for the American Way” but this was all conservative, and had stuff by authors such as Dennis Miller, Hugh Hewitt and Michael Medvid. I thought I could find this site again last night but to make a long story short I was unsuccessful, though there is a place where all conservative websites are listed, and also a “topics” page where web sites of multiple political stripes can be found. But it’s just strange to be at a web site that’s the opposite of what you thought and then the next time you visit it, the whole thing flip-flops politically, and you think you’re losing your mind. I think I've come up with a new meaning for "Sliding in and called Safe". If you're a fifth-dimensional slider and you run into danger in one dimension, you can always "slide" into another dimension and be Safe.

Many Problems - One Cure

First of all I'd like to wish everybody a happy St. Patrick's Day. They do celebrate St. Patrick's Day on all the traditional Romulan planets. But they don't do it in an Irish way but a Romulan way. They do celebrate the green, and the clover leaf symbol. In fact Romulans have written out a certain calculus formula that is the "proper" way to draw a clover leaf. The Romulans have always celebrated it on this day, which is interesting because they still use the Julian Calendar. The Romulans on Sirius A are bothered because those people don't celebrate it. The thing is the Romulans are anti Gailiac as well as anti Druid. They see St. Patrick as a source of light driving out the "shadow religions", which Romulans used to be paranoid about.

The first of the big "cure alls" is Garlic. Apparently Egyptians fed garlic to their slaves because it kept insects away. Garlic is said to be a cure for scabies, which, thankfully, I have never had. Of course we know garlic keeps away vampires. But also garlic gets rid of the bad bacteria in your small intestine, that can be the source of problems. Finally, garlic lowers blood pressure and as such is good for your heart. It's something to think about, anyhow.

They speak of certain drugs having an illegal "off label" use. I found that an anti fungal product I took in pill form for my toenails actually cured two other problems. It cured my arthritus I'd been suffering from since late 2001. I was developing severe restrictions of movement of my arms not to mention shooting pain if I got in certain positions. This was cured in the fall of 2004 when I took that toe nail stuff, don't ask me how. Also cured was this Vitalaigo condition I had on my arms, like Michael Jackson. I had these white blotches on my arms that would not go away and they were photosensitive to sunlight, and would turn pink and sunburned if I spent a lot of time in the sun. This condition was cured in the fall of 2004.

Raise your hands if you saw Sixty Minutes last night. Most of the program was about sleep deprivation and the ill effects it can have. First of all your body produces "leptin", which has nothing to do about the number of leptons in your body, but rather how full you feel. If you don't get enough sleep your leptin levels are low and you eat more and as such gain weight. Also people sleep deprived for as little as five or six days can have pre-diabetic symptums. Of course these two conditions often go together- - being fat and having diabetus. You could go so far as to say sleep is a cure for old age. Because after sleep deprivation your thought process are way slowed down, but you don't realize it. You find it much harder to make simple decisions and answer simple questions. Also if you lack deep sleep, for instance if you're woken up with these horrible buzzing or beeping sounds, you will suffer ill effects. And also I wouldn't want to be that male fruit fly that hadn't gotten enough sleep because lack of sleep definitely infringes upon your sexual performance. Of course many people think it's macho not to get enough sleep and they have these 30 hour shifts of residents in hospitals as sort of an "initiation". May I suggest that this is a bad idea because we know from that heprin drug thing they showed first, that hospitals make medication mistakes all the time. Often it's necessary for three consecutive people to make the same mistake. Sleep deprived people often get giddy and have exagurated or inappropiate emotion. The emotion centers of the brain disconnect from the frontal lobe, the seat of reason and judgement. There could be an epidemic of sleeplessness. We are such a hyped up culture we want to be "stimulated" all the time. Leo Le Port said that man is by nature a "new information" junky. Normally this proclivity gets little "stimulation" because new information was hard to come by but now teenagers today are on a sugar overload. Their brains need this constant buzz to feel normal as dopamine is fed by the brain into their systems.

YESTERDAY'S ROOMANATIONS ABOUT "STUFF"

I watched “Meet the Press” and later “This Week” on station 7.2. Both stations understandably talked about this Obama mess. Once a candidate steps into something like Obama stepped into last week with the release of those Pastoral statements, a candidate is pretty much toast. It kind of goes down with other epic events such as Mondale saying he’s going to raise taxes, or Mc Govern saying he’s going to give every American a thousand dollars, or Dukakis’s “What if your wife was raped and murdered?” question. The latter stopped me from voting for Dukakis that year. I stayed home.

Jesus Christ was still on. He was saying that what you need to do is grab a hold of some faith and pursue it and “Make it real” for you in your life. He also said “You’ll never find out the answers to all the questions you are looking for”. I guess that’s another way of saying “Jesus is the Answer” is just another evangelist’s lie. Also if you explore the “operative” verb in that one sentence- - You become the “First Cause” in “Making it Real for you”. It doesn’t depend on any objective outside force; it all depends on you. Apparently he was getting calls from lonely women or something looking for men, and he said “First you have to build yourself and your life up, and then others will be attracted to you”. The trouble is the churches I’ve been to, the laity is portrayed as a supplicant, who asks God for things “He knows he doesn’t deserve because he knows in the light of God’s glory he looks like a piece of crap”. It’s hard to come on to women when inwardly you’re made to feel like a piece of crap. Sometimes I think, “Well I need to pray more for Obama and people” but then I ask myself “Who am I praying TO?”

Now Hillary Clinton is mad at Nancy Palosi for siding with Obama against Clinton. But Nancy Palosi is saying this whole Obama for VP idea is a pointless one. Obama picked up ten deligates from Iowa today. Obama has gained with super-delegates and Clinton has lost super-delegates. One female Black reporter suggested we take the firey remarks of that Chicago pastor in perspective, realizing the deep cultural frustrations of Black people. The trouble is most people don’t think- - at all. They feel, and they have a knee jerk response and fan their own latent feelings of bigotry.

I had Leo Le Port on at eleven and for some time after lunch. Today he talked a lot about “the past” and went down memory row as far as the internet is concerned. If you were an internet freak in those days, your nerdiness became fashionable with the passing of time. If you were, however a kook for Jesus, you’re still just a Freak. [added] You know on that superman episode last Thursday it was the Black man who wanted to be a super hero but he didn't have "real" super powers. He had to chew his kryptomite chewing gum. It's the black guy who wants superman to "come out of the closet" and reveal himself to the world. Sometimes I look at the Calvary Christians and think they're from another planet and they have this "code of secrecy" they keep. But if Blacks had their way there's be a lot fewer secrets in the world.

I have a simple solution for the use of the penny. I’d issue a five for one issue of the dollar under the belief that American currency ought to be worth at least several times European currency is worth. I’d strive for a four to one parody with the Euro meaning four Euros to one Dollar. As such things would be multiples of fives. Pennies would now be worth nickels, and so forth. Ones would be worth fives. Of course I’d have to issue all new currency and make it as different as possible from the old currency, and the best way to do that would be to print it in red, white and blue. I have other ideas. I’d raise the minimum wage to $1.85 an hour or $9.25 in old dollars. If Huckibee wants a national sales tax, I’d say there’d be no sales tax on cash, but if you paid by credit card there would be a 25% surtax, to discourage use. I would exempt food items. However, I’d also institute a 100% surtax on all alcoholic beverages of 50 proof or higher. (25% alcohol) I’d have the tax also for debit cards since these encourage spending, too. I’d eliminate the tax deduction or exemption of churches from paying taxes, and in exchange, there would be no political restraint or pressure on what was said from the pulpit. I’d also institute a 45% minimum tax for anybody earning over $100,000 [$500,000 old] and this tax would kick in all at once; it would not be graduated. (Some may such a sudden tax is not “fair” but it’s just as “fair” as the three strikes law. We passed the three strikes law to show we were “serious” about wanting to prevent violent crime. Capish?) But this would be in new dollars. I would also issue steep tariffs calculated by half of the ratio of minimum wage in the country produced verse our minimum wage here. This could amount to over a thousand percent. I would do this as a very steep incentive for other countries to pay their workers. Problems are solvable if you just want to take the necessary steps. In exchange I’d reduce the income tax for everybody else based on the amount we were saving that year.

The Most Dangerous of "What If" Questions

This is Saturday and it’s the Ides of March. Some times we have to draw a distinction between the real and the fictional. For instance, Julius Ceasar was real, even though some of his most famous lines come from a Shakesphere play. Last night I was reading Terry’s novel, “The Orion Mutiny” in Word. He used Word Art letters for the title. I was going to excerpt some of the writings in a blog but I’ll just describe the novel as extremely detailed with well constructed, descriptive sentences, apparently lacking in any spelling or grammatical errors since nothing was red or green-lined. It reminds me of one of Ron Hubbard’s Sci-Fi novels. The material is extremely fast moving, and as I say detailed. Of course there is no connection between Terry’s novel and any of my own writings, which I don’t imagine he knows anything about, since I haven’t told him, and it’s unlikely he found out from any one else. Of course sometimes dreams are like novels. Last night I had this dream where us three kids all got married and had kids and our grand children were on competition for colonizing various planets. In this dream I married Valerie M. whom [Pete Richards] had wanted to marry but I beat him out. In this dream Tiffany was my daughter and not Scott Styles’s. In the dream people dug and found out that Valerie was my 2^nd. Cousin and for this reason I shouldn’t have married but wince Pete isn’t blood related it would have been OK. Valerie in turn was first cousin to Howard Richards but not related to me. The whole dream has a rather Spanish flavor and all of us were Spanish. One of us founded the town of Midway, which is approximately around Lincoln and Walker (which used to be known as “Moody”) The whole thing about found civilizations on other planets is a little hazy right now.

Of course a novel needn’t be just descriptive prose or dialog. It can be in the form of an exchange of letters like “Dracula” is. It got me to thinking the most “dangerous” of asked questions. What if the entire first century of Christianity started off as someone’s novel. As you know the “Epistles of Paul” and the “Acts of the Apostles” are spoken as chief sources for first century history. I of course have come to the belief that Christianity did not exist in the first century as we know it. What we do know is that the Catholic Church has “Secrets” which, as roomered, if discovered and found out, would be the undoing of the Christian faith as we know it. You may be fermiliar with the “Solomon Spaulding” theory of the authorship of the Book of Mormon. This book perports to be a history of the Jewish people who separated at the time of Jeremiah and came to this country and did various things here. Walter Martin was a big proponet of the “Solomon Spaulding” theory of the authorship of the book of Mormon. But what if the saying is true that Justin Martyr was one day walking along a beach and an “Old Man” met him and “sold him a fable” as the Queen song alludes to? Justin was so impressed with this “Old Man” whom we know almost nothing else about, that he became a Christian. I would like to suggest that this “Old Man” is the author of the original ten letters of Paul plus the book of Acts. People make much of contradictions between the Book of Acts and portions in the letters of Paul. But what they both agree on are a “set of characters” such as Silus and Timothy and Luke. These “characters” who are entirely made up- - and investigating their history will as well prove fruitless- - but these characters are mixed with REAL people such as the apostle Peter, and James, as well as Mark and Barnabus. However if you investigate these REAL people in an objective manner, they will tell you nothing about St. Paul or St. Luke. In no document I’ve read have I found HOW the “letters of Paul” were found. Some say they were found in Ephesus. We don’t know. There is no HISTORY in any of the towns or churches Paul visited of anyone there having either known of Paul or having received or read his letters, and there is no history of the letters prior to them being discovered by “The Church”. Nobody ever seems to have questioned either how we got the letters or whether not they were authentic, or for that matter if St. Paul existed or where or if he died. (I say “IF” because we are talking about Christians) There is no record, even an imaginary one, of how Paul might have died. That part of the story never seems to have gotten written. All we know “officially” is that the letters were supposedly “lost to history” for several decades and then “found” about AD 110 or 120 or so. Even in these letters where St. Paul is the Johnny Appleseed of planting churches, not even they can tell us how the “The Church at Rome” was founded. Apparently it Already Existed when St. Paul wrote them his epistle. Of course we have already stated that Ron Hubbard was a novelist and that Solomon Spaulding was a novelist. This mysterious “Old Man” may be just another novelist. We know that prior to Marcion’s suggestion, nobody proposed the gathering of the epistles of Paul into a “Cannon of Scripture” to be reverenced. We do know that whoever the author or perhaps authors of the Book of Acts and Paul’s letters were, they certainly inspired the imagination of the head haunchos of the Church at Rome. About the earliest known Historic Event we know about in Church History was when Trajan was persecuting the Christians that Pliny the Younger suggested that no action should be taken unless the subject clearly would fail to renounce the Faith when pressured. What we also know is that Gnosticisum seem to come to Rome about AD 90 and a Jewish encyclopedia says there is lots of Gnostic influence in Paul’s letters. Also it was stated that Paul knew Greek translation well, but seemed ignorant of any Hebrew, and that there is a fundamental void of any genuine Jewish background in Paul’s teachings.

Of course when it comes to questions you dare not ask we could turn the cameras on ourselves and ask, “Where did all this Z A C mythology come from?” Someone could come up with the theory that Robin Llyle, Dick Llyle’s wife came up with all of the romance between Howard and Robin stuff. In “The Early Days”, Howard Richard had several aliases such as “Mama”, which Paul Mc Cartney referred to him as, because Howard was the mysterious Paul stand-in on the Pepper album. Other terms used are “The Old Man”, referencing both the Queen song and “Bitter Creek”. Also “Desperado” and “The New Kid in Town”. There also appear to be about threw Howards. There is “Roger Shepherd”. Then there is the Howard that Guy Owens interacted with, mainly from late 1973 to his death on December 30^th. 1975 on Chicago's north side not far from where he lived. And then there is the Howard that Robin knew. Guy Owens’ Howard never gave any allusion to romantic involvement with Robin. Howard Richards told Guy Owens on Dec. 18^th. 1975 that he has been shot at by someone. Guy Owens says he isn’t positive how Howard died. Only that Howard’s one time choffer-body guard-butler told him he’d been shot and killed in the first few days of January 1976, and that his then fiancée living in Madison, WI hired a mafia style hit man to shoot him down. - - - - But let’s suppose I don’t exist. I’m just some character in someone else’s story. What if the “Real Story” goes something like this? Howard Richards met Robin at a 4^th. of July party held at an associate of Pete Richard’s house and it was mutual love at first sight. During the evening Dick Llyle needed someone to light his sparkler and turned to Howard, who lit it. But Dick’s sparkler glowed with a purplish-lavender color and Dick says “How did that happen” and Howard says “I don’t know”. Howard was a seventeen year old Virgin at the time. (much younger than the Howard portrayed by Guy Owens) Howard was just headed into his senior year of high school. But sex with Robin seemed to age him a lot overnight. In 1975 Howard went off into the desert by himself where he was “the old man” existing on rattlesnake meat and drinking worm wood. (presumably wood alcohol) and getting mystic religious revelations. Howard and Robin were about to make some big announcement like Robin was getting a divorce from Dick and marrying Howard when Howard was mysteriously gunned down in the town of Chicago. Howard was always a nobody. He was a Midwestern boy all alone in LA and lost his virginity there. He was a mere 17. He was gunned down in some sting operation where Howard was mistaken for somebody else, some major criminal they were after, but he just ‘got in the way”. He died never living to his nineteenth birthday on February 20^th. 1957. (1976) Of course as the spiritual “Defender of the Faith” I’m supposed to steer you away from any such “alternate histories” as this one, but I offer it here for your perusal.
