Revisiting the Fifth Dimension

It's an unpleasant realization for some but it's now a certifiable fact that Obama long form birth certificate is a fake and this has been demonstrated to me in clear and convincing fashion, but it's not reported by the media.  It's notible that it was a faked up document that got Dan Rather fired.  In that case the document was faked, but the underlying story was real.  It's also a fact that the Shroud of Turan was a fake.  This has received a little more traction by the media but not much.  Many historians doubt that the first Thanksgiving dinner consisted of turkey at all.  Corned beef is not a standard staple in Ireland.  We live in a world of myths.  Many say that people believe things that can be proven false because "Then need to believe it" such as clinging to a report that they got from a psychic.  I will come right out and say it that The Fifth Dimension is just a theory, like Evolution was only a theory when Darwin came up with it in 1859.   Now there is a story going around in Born Again circles that the full name of Darwins thesis is "The Origen of Species and Racial Superiority".   Like I say- - even whacked out Christians will try and play the race card now and then.

President Obama is playing around with the timetable for pulling out of Afghanistan.  There will still be ten thousand troops in Afghanistan at the end of this year. And five thousand will remain after the end of 2015.   And again - - a commentator on an internet show stated "It would seem as if the President is almost expecting some new troubles to crop up there".  A few days ago the President told the troops “For many of you this will be your last tour in Afghanistan”.  That immediately made me wonder when it said that because the more obvious statement would have been “This will be your last tour here”.  The President is "sounding an unclear trumpet" to quote from one of Bob Hawland's last sermons.  By in large John Mc Cain is right in saying that the United States has lost untold prestige in the past six years.  

 Maya Angelo died this morning at age 86.  She died “peacefully”.  She is the artist and poet that President Clinton invited to recite her poetry at his first Inaugural in 1993.   She lived quite a colorful life.  She was raped by her mother's boyfriend at age seven.  When she told who did it the boyfriend was lynched or something.  Maya didn't speak again for twelve years but her mother helped her "sublimate" her distress into writing down her thoughts and stuff.  She had a melodic, rich singing voice and worked in a Callipso establishment in the fifties.  She got famous for the publication "I know why the caged bird sings".   (Maybe she does, but I don't)  She's one of those Americans we need to have taught more about in our schools, and one school was named after by the students themselves.

Now a guy from Microsoft, Steve Baumer, has offered over two billion dollars for the LA Clippers.  If Donald Sterling accepts that deal, he won’t exactly starve.  All the NBA will want of the new guy is a pledge not to move the Clippers to Seattle, where he is from.  Personally I think the NBA should back off right now.  Some are saying that if the team isn’t sold by Tuesday the NBA will just “take the team and sell it themselves” in perhaps some legalized theft or something.  Remember the NBA thought Donald Sterling was perfectly kosher for years.  But now I'm wondering - maybe is Sterling sells the team successful Before June 3rd is the NBA now going to say "You cheated us out of all the money we WOULD have gotten if you'd stalled a few days.  Quino sabe?  I can think of a lot better candidates for "most hated man in America" such as Mitt Romney, Oliver North, the Koch Brothers, Sheldon Adelson, Cliven Bundy, George Zimmerman - - do I need to go on?

Robert Kennedy's speech that Thom Hartman played - Today - - is the very one I was think of yesterday that was going through my mind, when I wrote about "American Society's Twisted values" yesterday.  Kennedy spoke of how things like poetry and the beauty of nature or a child's laugh, or a smile, or a state of inner peace - - are not things that are computed in the gross national product.  I read also that Kennedy had stated "Things like increased law enforcement and increased prison populations aren't good for society, but they do raise the gross national product".  (Selah)  We need to get back to thinking in terms like this because we are almost pathologically in love with money today.

  It would seem the next Disney blockbuster is this “Malificent’ movie, who put the curse on Sleeping Beauty that made her sleep for a hundred years before being awoken with a kiss by Prince Charming.  They admit they took creative license with the basic story.  Personally I like the way the Simpsons do fractured fairy tales and various historic accounts.  They make learning fun.  Back in 1995 the term Bosc Land began apparing in our snail mail writings.  This was a take-off from the phrase "OJ Land" that John and Ken were using on their radio show.  Of course Mc Cartney had a song out "Return to Pepper Land", which as of then I'd never heard.  Of course you can play up the fruit angle since the Bosc house was basically a pear green.  And it even had two pepper trees before my Mom cut them down.  And every so often you would get the "yellow rain" of pepper seeds.  Of course we had our "Austrailian weather" patterns with the south side of the house being the cool side and the north side of the house being the warm side.  Of course any author of a children's book has the advantage of knowing which things are disguised incidents from his own childhood, and which he made up out of whole cloth from his fertile imagination.   Of course if you are like me who believes in the axiom of "Whatever CAN happen HAS happened in some universe, then you could almost say -  "If you can imagine it, it exists somewhere".  I have "taught" in the past that man cannot transverse from one parellel universe to another.  Yet I have "taught" that man can travel through "unformated space" (it's a computer term, like an unformatted disk) within THIS Universe, and perhaps some can flag me on "logical inconsistency here.  I have "taught" that what some call the psychic dimension is actually "Object fung chue spacial congruity".   I have also used children's analogies to make my point- - such as the famous DES RHO letter code is based on Children's alphabet blocks.  And we have also used kiddy colored blocks to illustrate the impossability of time travel within a four dimensional system.  We use the kiddy toy analogy again- - to describe the idea of material transport accross said "unformatted space gap".   We likened this to having nine tenths "binding energy" (a figure we got from Astronomy Cafe) and what remain are holes that are all just nicely shaped to match the hadrons that we will fit into them.  The theory is generally that is the shape matches up, it doesn't matter to the letter which hadron goes into which similar shaped hole.  This is what is known in the comodities world as a "fungible' comodity.  But even if you THINK you imagined something - - as they say the Devil is in the details.  It might be like looking at a police line-up.  You may have your choice of A, B, or C.  Door number one - door number two - or door number three.  All three are "possible extrapelations of what we think you Imagined.  You decide.

Recent developments in soap land have more precisely defined the future course of the plot.  Does Hope suspect there are still missing pieces to this puzzle?  Sometimes people can be right and not know it- - but only someone looking through the eyes of painstakingly researched history can say with a certain ammount of certitude who was "right" and who was full of it.  There are times where I have "called things correctly" ahead of time, and haven't gotten credit for it.  Who will be the Pulitzer prize winning reporter that puts the entire Bush orchestrated 9 - 11 conspiracy together combining means, motive and oppertunity into a fairly seemless narritive?  Even though Pages doesn’t think Jack Junior is a bad person, she seems plagued by doubts whether their backgrounds just might make them incompatible.  Meanwhile back at the ranch, Brady’s cure for too much booze from the bottle is to take a shot of cocaine.  Maybe he’s trying to kill himself before the day is out.  

This Country Doesn't Have till 2017 to Remedy our Ills

Behold I shall make the Cross of Christ as a burdensome stone, and many an unwary man will stumble on it, and when he lifts up his hands in prayer the weight of it will be unbearable, and if it falls on him it will crush him
Lat me say it again.  This country doesn’t HAVE till 2016 to get our progressive act together.  Those who think we do are in for a rude awakening.  Consider the example of Nicole on today’s Days of our Lives episode.   The minute she opened her door and Dr Daniel Jonas was standing there instead of her fiancĂ©, she knew full well that the world as she has known it was about to come crashing down around here.   You know when and if a liberal tells a lie or stretches the Truth- - - they will usually avoid at all costs having to repeat the overt core of the lie too often, but will rely instead in omissions inferences and imuendos to convey the same point.  But when someone on the right wing tells a lie, they double down on it and repeat it again and again, each time more emphatically, pounding the table.  Their lie is their whole “reason for being” (sorry I don’t know the French) – their whole Justification for everything they do so they HAVE to cling to and repeat the lie, and engage in deception after deception and cover-up after cover-up, which only makes the Truth that much more calamatus to them when at last it is revealed.  Thom Hartman has spoken of a survey that shows the poor and the leftists among us to be the more empathetic, and honest, and hard working, and all of those qualities people profess to admire.  We’ll have more on that later but right now I’d like to run a few moral choice questions by you.  There is no right or wrong answer.  In the Bible there were the twelve sons of Israel and they came upon a hostile people who grabbed and raped their sister, over and over and treated her shamefully.  In revenge they said they were willing to make peace but only if the other side agreed to “Accept the Lord”, which in those days required being circumcised.  But a day or two later, while they were still in pain- - a band of them came upon them and slew them all.  When their father Jacob learned that Simeon and Levi had conspired to do this he was angry with them as “bad examples”.  And the two sons posed a question.  “Is it right for our sister to be treated by them as a Harlot?”   Just to return to our previous posting.  Perhaps the workers of the next generation will profit from higher wages- - from their parents having been wiped out by a war or a plague or whatever.  Here is where Neil of KFI goes off the track.  Does that mean that the war or plague was a Good Thing?   Not for the people who died because of it.  You see sometimes it does matter “where the gift comes from and what the cost of that gift is”.  You know the old story- - every kid’s fantasy like Bart Simpson.  Your family is driving across the hot desert and suddenly you see an ice cream truck that broke down fifteen minutes ago and the driver is diswrought and says “Take all the ice cream you want.  It’s no good to me now”.   This is where some would envoke Chuck Smith’s doctrine of “When the Lord is buying - - I eat steak”.    But Chuck’s problem is about “Not asking where the gift came from” is that they could have used him as an advocate when Anaias and Sophirah were on trial for their lives in the NT book of Acts.  This reveals a troubling philosophical inconsistency on Chuck’s part.   Could it be that some “gifts” just aren’t worth it when you consider all the baggage and strings that come along with the gift.   Let me paraphrase Stephano Di Mira in a troubling but cryptic statement he made a year or more ago.  He said to his own son,  “The Day will come when you will beg me to take back what you have taken from me today.”    Could not Satan say to many of us “The day will come when you will beg me t take from You - - the Holy Salvation you have received today”.   Just allow yourself to think in such terms of “comparative cost” for once in your life.

Today I learned a startling fact that wiser people than I have known for a really long time.  It might just be the most relevetory fact I’ve learned since as a ten year old boy I learned that men and women had sex with each other to produce children.  The ramifications of this new knowledge is that profound.   Thom Hartman today un-riddled a mystery to me today that I had been wondering about for a long time.  Why are ECO’s paid such astronomical salary.  Even given the fact they are paid largely in stock options.  This explains the rise in the stock markets over the past thirty years, but it doesn’t explain why Chief Executive Officer’s salaries are pegged as such an astronomical price in the first place.  It would seem to me that at some point the stock holders would rise in protests and say “We are all owners of that corporation too and we are entitled to bigger dividends we would be getting if you weren’t paying your CEO so much.   It seems what you have here is a cartel - -price fixing type operation.  It seems there is basically an incestuous relation between all of the board of directors of all the major companies in the land.  They all sit on each other’s boards and “have each other’s backs” and say to one another “I’ll vote for a high price for your CEO if you vote for a high wage on ours”.   And so it is.  Ronald Reagan set this whole course in motion by passing this “stock option” law- - and also by an “executive order” that no Anti Trust action is to be taken by the Attorney General.  By way of addendum, I have learned that in some cases capital gains tax rates are back up to twenty percent.  It seems they have made this rate dependent on your annual income.   But if a poor man wins a hundred dollars at a crap game- - my understanding is he owes the Government forty of that which he just won, regardless of his income or whether that "income" significantly increases his overall paultry wages all that much.

Here is another moral question though.  If your British Petroleum and you spill all of that oil in the gulf- - do you clean it up even though it could take a long time and the operation is very visable of skimming the oil slick with equipment to clean it up.  Or do you take the easy way out and just drop some chemicals on the water “correctsid” - - which is guess is like carpet cleaner or something- - which dispurses the oil throughout the whole Gulf and eventually it settles to the bottom and then washes up on shore once more and kills all the fish and shrimp.  How did the Obama administration ever allow this scam to occur and never spoke up about it?   How is it that they can run ads saying “everything is open and better than ever”.  It would seem according to the Ed Schultz show- - that the Coast Guard might as well be run by British Petroleum, because they kick fishers off their own turf- - and tell them they are not ALLOWED to clean up the oil slick on their own but must vacate the area, and whole tracts of land even now are closed off by the government at BP’s bidding.  You have places like “Cat Island” which used to be a major bird nesting ground.  They showed photos of it in 2009 as a vibrant wild life sanctuary with birds and nesting areas.  And they showed it today- - and it looks it was either hit by a California brush fire or a nuclear attack of something.  The whole island is laid waste with nothing living.  And one of the leading shrimpers has his business cut to but five percent of what it used to be.  Clearly BP ought to be liable for NOT ONLY all of the economic hardship wrought upon these businessmen, but they should throw in punitive damages not only for personal suffering and all, but also for the money they FAILED TO SPEND by not doing the job right in the first place.  If you trip on a loose porch step at your neighbor's house- you can win damages - - and the law invokes the "right to act stupidly or carelessly" law.  So if it's partially your own fault you can sue,  But if something big and overpowering you strikes you out of the blue- - then you are not allowed to sue.

Then we have the city of Detroit.  Now they have turned off the water of the poor people, mainly minorities, who can’t afford to move to a better place.  And yet golf courses and other big companies that use a lot of water are given a pass.  And remember that Detroit sits next to one of the largest bodies of fresh water in North America – and they can’t get water to people’s apartments, and give them zero warning so they can’t even fill up their bathtubs or anything?  Clearly there are four governors it’s imperitive that we defeat in November.  This is that Abott guy running for Governor of Texas.  We have Rick Scott of Florida, and Scott Walker of Wisconsin.  Then we have Governor Snyder who almost single handedly it would seem ucerped the governmental processes and somehow obtained control over the financial destiny of the City of Detroit.  It’s as many were saying about New Orleans after Katrina.  The loss of population was a good thing because now they can “clear the decks” and get rid of all the poor people and privatize the whole city and completely remake it, the way the Roman Empire virtually wiped Jerusalem off the map in 135 AD.  Someone ought to sneak up on Governor Snyder in his sleep and slit his throat.  Of if that’s too messy you should strangle him with one of his wife’s silk stockings.  This is clearly one of the most despicable men since Mitt Romney.  And so we again come back to these morality tests Thom Hartman was talking about yesterday and today, but that you won’t hear about on any of the mainstream media.  It would seem that the poor are more empathetic than the rich as far as helping out their fellow man.  The poor are more law abiding than the rich even- the rich are far more prone to run traffic lights for example.  And one congressman a few years back got drunk and killed someone in his car- - and was given a pass by the authorities, because he was a congressman.  But the rich aren’t even more productive or industrious as we have been led to believe.  They have short work weeks and their chief skills are things like going to cocktail parties and having trophy girlfriends hanging on their arm.  And they need to know how to make a good speech (just like Gordon Gecko) at the weekly board meetings.  And of course he needs to know how to work congress on the lobby front.   But as Thom Hartman points out- - he needs one more trait only two percent of the population at large has in America - - he needs to know how to be a total sociopath in word and deed.  Hartman talked about some test on “ethics and economics” done- - and the few people who “flunk” this test are certifiable Sociopaths and Chairmen of the Board- - such as Mitt Romney.   We live in an era where “liberties” means the “liberty” not to have ANY laws as either a private or public moral guideline.  They will say “We have a Constitution of limited government”, when what they really are after is NO government, except, of course, their own.  They fully expect that government is their “personal hand-maiden” just as they expect God Himself to be their personal lackey.  It’s essentially the freedom to be entirely egocentric - - and we are informed that rich people even stair at themselves in the mirror more than the poor.  In fact the doctrine of the Christian "Rapture" came about by people who were probably egocentric.  It's not a historic church doctrine, that of some secret "snatching away out of the world" of a select, priveleged few.  But the Constitution  is a contract involving "We, the people", and the government should be us, the citizens, who are people.  Corporations are not people.  The constitution spells out what powers we - the people want it to have and spells out guidelines- - and makes it clear that congress was given vast legislative powers- - to fulfill such goals as securing the blessings of liberty to ourselves and posterity, and promoting the general welfare, and providing for the common defense, which in my book means having a legal system because we sure need to be “protected and defended” from corporate crooks out there.  These rich people are like Nicole, who want to be “left alone” and the fact they act really strangely is something they don’t want or need us to be alarmed by.  It’s funny how in legislatures- - often there appears to be no action at all for months on pressing bills- - then all of a sudden they pass a raft of bills in the dead of night barely having a quarum.  Jesus said that in the last day secrets would be revealed.   “Everything that is hidden will be seen in the light of day”. 

We come to President Obama and his statement to a graduating class at West Point of all places – in which Obama says “Just because we have the best military hammer in the world, doesn’t mean we have to view every problem as a nail”.   To me this speech went way over-board and I don’t see the point of it.  Clearly our problem lately is that we haven’t “brought the hammer down” enough with people like Vladimir Putin, and Iran and Syria, and now even in Nigeria.  This President is a first rate waffeler.  First he says we’re saying in Afghanistan two more years after the end of 2014- - - almost in anticipation of their being problems in the next two years- - then he makes a speech like this.  And he won’t fire Gen Shensecki at the VA.  Now that scandal had grown and the problems in Phoenix are replicated in cities all over America, such that this problem of falsifying records has become “systemic”.  Fifty-eight congressmen have gone on record as wanting the President to fire Shensecki.  The average wait time now for Veterans is 115 days, when the previous general guidelines were two weeks, tops.   And it seems that many people now try and save money and end up seeing a “Doc in the Box”, which has to be the latest new dictionary term.  It’s one of these “free clinics”, but the trouble is that each time you see a different doctor who doesn’t know your medical history or know what treatment the last doctor prescribed.   As a patient- - Society as we know it doesn’t have long to live.

Our Culture of Misplaced, Warped Values

Back in the sixties growing up there were writers and commentators saying that we lived in a sick, twisted society with misplaced priorities.  Let’s return to our favorite example topic, Star Trek episodes.  There was this one episode where Captain Piccard was trying to beam these survivors off this planet where they would otherwise all be doomed.  So you can imagine how flabberghasted the crew was when the first thing that got beamed up was this big old chest filled with “felicium” this drug everybody on the planet was addicted to.   Clearly a cultural anthropologist would say “This is a society that places an extrordenary value on monetary value and profit over human life”.  And yet today we see it.  This loser owner of the LA Clippers now says he doesn’t want to sell the team because “The amount of capital gains tax I’d have to pay would be horrific”.  Well, this line is one I’d expect Rush Limbaugh to pick up on.  Of course the rate would be fifteen percent, when during most of my time growing up the rate was 25 percent.  And of course that’s only on the Profit he made- - from now selling a Clippers team that got to the second round of the play-offs, and of enhanced value.  The guy should be grateful because those “black boys” on the court were putting money in his pocket.  It’s funny how people’s values have a way of leaking out.  Thom Hartman today was relating one time he was at some shooting gallery and was told he’d only be able to buy two boxes of ammunition and when Thom Hartman asked him why, the store owner said “It’s because of that Nigger in the White house come to take all our guns”.   And they say attacks on President Obama are not racial.  Do you remember when Trayvon Martin was killed and the President said “If I had a son he’d look just like Trayvon” and the conservatives on the radio almost had a cow.  But if it had been a black man killing a white teenager and it was President Clinton in the White House if he had said “That victim could be my son, if I had a son”, I would not expect Ralph Abernathy and Andrew Young and the SCLC to be crying “Oh look at that- - he’s injecting race into the case saying he’d identify with him because he’s White”.   That wouldn’t happen. 

People wonder what is so peculiarly sick about our culture in the United States, as opposed to other countries.  Canada has more per capita gun ownership – at least per household than the United States does, but they don’t have our culture of random violence as we do.  You can’t blame TV or movies of video games, because they have these all over the world and these other countries don’t have our culture of violence.  In Austrailia in 1995 they were having their own gun violence problem but they decided to do something about it and slapped strict regulations on firearms and the problem went away.  People in this country point to Chicago as a negative example, but if you’ve ever seen a map of the area, the state line with Indiana cuts right across the metropolitan area and it’s only a twenty minute drive to get firearms.  The plain fact is that the National Rifle Association and FOX news controls the debate in this country feeding their poison of paranoid and fear into the mix.  The NRA lives on fear.  They don’t care how many people are killed.  Arming all the residents of Isla Vista would not have cut down on violence but increased it.  And then the NRA could use that fear to sell even more guns.  That’s how they operate.   If the crime rate drops in Florida, it just might be because things which before were a crime, like shooting someone in cold blood, are legal now under the “Stand your ground law”.   But there is an ugly, racial aspect to the second amendment I was not aware of till just today listening to Thom Hartman.  It seems that in the south that state militias were used as runaway slave petrols, to capture runaway slaves and give them twenty lashes.  This was state law.   So called “civil libertarians” like Patrick Henry were staunchly advocating for a way to empower these state militias - - and not to be hampered by congress.  So they passed the law that said that the right of these well regulated state militias would not be tampered with.  It should also be noted that these militias are created to PUT DOWN rebellions against the government, and not to foment then as Bundy and his crowd maintains.  We know that people like Shawn Hannity defend Cliven Bundy at every opportunity.  They speak of using guns for self defense and hunting and sports shooting.  Yet of the twenty speakers at the constitutional convention who rose to speak on the second amendment, not one of them spoke about these aspects.

We then turn to this current topic of income inequity.  Rush Limbaugh will tell you two big lies  “spawned from the pit of hell” to use an Evangalical phrase.  The first one is that the poor want to “punish the rich” regardless as to whether their own lots are improved in life one bit.  Rush said the very same thing just over twenty years ago when President Clinton raised income taxes to 39%   He said it would amount to ruination of the economy.   Of course just the opposite happened and the economy took off, but of course Rush Limbaugh never said he was wrong.   The other lie of course is that equality of income is bad and even capitalism itself is bad because Karl Marx taught about it, and it’s “right out of the handbook of people like Sol Allinsky and Bill Ayres”.  Of course these are two people many if not most of progressives today have never heard of.  The only place you’ll hear these names is on broadcasts like Limbaugh and Hannity.  But Hartman reminds us that unless there is some rule maker or referee in capitalism, the natural evolution of capitalism is to have a very small elite rich class and almost as tiny of a merchant class such as shop owners and artists and such.  The rest of the people are the working poor, who are pretty much doomed their whole lives with little possibility of upward mobility.  So when Shawn or Rush talk about “unfettering capitalism” this is JUST the sort of world they are dreaming about.  Progressives are proven right throughout history time and time again, and people like Rush and Shawn are proven wrong time and time again.  But these people never look at the facts.  Waiting for “trickle down” to work is about as pointless as standing on a grassy hill waiting for Jesus to come from the sky.  So the funny thing is you need something like a disaster like war or the black death, or a mass exodus of people going to the new world or something - - to increase the wages of the average working man.  For once Neil Savedra is right.  Good can come out from this kind of tragedy.   And in an unequal state as bad as ours- and it’s getting worse all the time,  things like mental illness and crime and drug addiction invariably rise not just among the poor, but also among the rich.  Among the world’s nations- - the position rating of the United States has slidden drastically in the past ten years. 

There is another prong of the right wing attack by people such as the Koch Brothers and Dow and Monsanto however.  I’m not talking about genetically modified foods right now, but this is a whole disaster waiting to happen in and of itself.  I’m speaking more generally about how the tea party has moved into its “Next Phase”.   Now they are going after state Attorney Generals.  People like Sheldon Adelson and the Koch Brothers have realized that here is where so much of the power they fear comes from.  The attorney generals determine who will be gone after- - investigated and charged and probably convicted.  So clearly the rich consider it important to have the state Attorney General someone in their back pocket, whom they can trust.  That way polluters, and wall street crooks, and the gun and tobacco and drug lobbies- - can all get away with whatever they want.  Mike Papentonio had a big thing on Pfizer drugs today- - and they are the epitomy of greed in America today.  They are the ones who make such best selling drugs such as Lipitor and Viagra.  Lipitor will of course kill you, as any staten drug will.  Viagra is for rich people hanging on to their youths- - who leave their wives and go and date a girl young enough to be their granddaughter or something.  These companies want to relocate off shore but continue to sell their products here and have our military protect their foreign offices, and they want to have their sweet heart deals with Medicare and the VA and such.  And according to Mike, they make up to ten thousand - - percent on each pill they sell, as opposed to what it cost them to produce it.  Mike calls them “Un American”, which is a word I think we liberals ought to reclaim as our own- - because it’s a concept the tea party seems to have forgotten all about.   Some would note that (I heard this on one program) that “Well, some people used to be tea party people when they were elected but now they aren’t any more”.   Little could be further from the truth.  Actually, the rightward shift is so pervasive that- - even by 2010 standards, the party has slidden father too the political right.  I’ve heard Rush Limbaugh’s complaint that “John Boehner and this republican congress is just too soft of progressives, and too willing to compromise with the President on core issues”.  I don’t know what kind of Kool Aid they’ve been drinking- - but these people are “devowering their own” constantly trying to flank the next guy on the right on an issue.  Clearly when you see the Cliven Bundy group they live in an imaginary bubble world of their own fantasy.  In Shawn Hannity’s world, new kids out of high school can have a starting salary of 75 to a hundred thousand dollars per year working in the oil fields of North Dakota and Texas.  And they can be in the field their whole lives, which are bright with economic hope and advancement and all that.  Don’t mention global warming to them.   You don’t have to be “political” to observe all these things.  I’m just letting you know what priorities those on the far right, who have been running the country for four years, actually believe.  As for my personal beliefs, I deal in moral values.  But the other side has this laundry list of issues they check off- - to make sure they get the highest score on some conservitism purity survey.

I would now like to cite an example from a Soap Opera and tie it back into President Obama.  As you may know on Days of our Lives, Will Horton confessed to shooting Nick Fallon with a gun that his lover got from Victor Kiriacus.  Hope (Salem PD) traced the gun back to Victor because it's a rare make and model.  Victor knew that Sonny had stolen the gun and used it and saw three bullets were missing.  So he altered the gun in some way to warp out the barrel so the bullistics wouldn't quite match up, but even Victor admitted "The police won't be fooled for long".  But I think Hope must be a little mystified as to why Will Horton was suddenly confessing.  Of course with his doing so, there is already a shadow of suspicion on both Sonny and Victor.  Does Hope know that Will was tipped off by EJ that the cops had already traced the gun?  But what must perplex Hope more is "How is it that this little weasly nerd like Nick- - had such enormous Power over all of your lives?  How could he dictate the terms of something, like a custody agreement, and the three of you, Will, Sonny and Gabriel, just fall in line and never question it or right it?   Now we move to President Obama.  It's like Obama has had one of the "weakest" presidencies- - since Harding or Cleveland or something.  He has grossly diminished the prestige of the office.  But the question is "Who is President Obama's - Nick Fallon?"  Who is pulling the strings in his administration and HOW did they ever GET that sort of power over you to begin with.  We know Obama is powerless over Wall Street - - and the National Security Administration has run rampant and Eric Holder never even tried to go after the "Bush Crime Family"- - and strangely - - the President has had few defenders in high places the way other Presidents like Bush have had.  They would get up and make speeches and pound the table and say things like "stay the course' and "We need to rally behind our President.  It's the American thing to do".   But this President seems almost completely alone.   So back to Hope and the Soap - - she has to be wondering "I have the feeling there are a whole lot of other aspects to this story that we don't know about and will be astounded and shocked once we learn them".   This is ditto for President Obama.

Gun Violence Issue Arises Again

First in response to Stephanie's comment on her show this morning, I have not been in Outer Mongolia the past three days and I've heard plenty about this Isla Vista mass shooting.  We all know the horrific details.  But the most relevant remark was the father of Chris Martinez, whose twenty year old son was killed in that deli, which was like a shooting gallery and they have video of that.  He laid the blame for the death of his promising son, squarely at the foot of the gun lobby and the NRA, and of course he's right.  But even as he said these words I despared of anything even happening with this Republican tea party congress.  John Boehner can make all the excuses he wants for not passing either gun legislation or immigration reform (which would actually REDUCE the federal deficet) or of course the minimum wage issue- - if all the horrific gun shooting incidents of 2012 were not enough to shock this congress into action, then nothing will be.  Now when there are people (still walking around loose) who say that the Sandy Hook shooting was a staged event and "no kids were harmed in the filming of this incident" and all.  People like Shawn Hannity are in such a profound state of denial on so many issues, and maybe we'll get to them, but - - the question before us is "What do we do about mental illness and the gun issue?"   I've been institutionalized at least three times in my life- - but the thing is in my case- - there is no connection between being diagnosed as Paranoid Scitzophrenic by S E Abott, which I found about the first Saturday of March in 1970 about sunset.  We were just going into a movie theater (on Garden Grove blvd) to see "Colossus" and "Number One" a movie with Charlton Heston as an aging football player- - and my Mom springs this little tidbit on me.  But there is no connection between this diagnosis and subsequent institutionalization.  None of my institutionalizations have been due to a diagnosis of either autism or paranoid scitzophrenia.  But some of these terms float around - - on doctors reports based on one interview done for Voc Re Hab by Dr Abott - - in March of 1969, when I was still a virgin, by the way.  I think I flunked the "word association test" or some of those other cliche questions they throw at you.  I was still basically an immature teenager- - younger than Elliot Roger was.   But from a legal standpoint - - this Roger guy have in common that my internments in a psychiatric facility were technically "volentary".   Although I know there are people for their OWN warped reasons would like to SEE you as mentally ill.  I told you about that "National Enquirer" style rambling letter that Pete Richards sent Dr Wong in late April of 1999.  I told you how I came on that form in my baby book (I saw in 1992) about how as early as late 1969 my Mom had made an inquiry about trying to get me on some state Walfare.  I'd have freaked out if I'd known about that.  But the bottom line is that for Elliot Roger - - all three of his gun purchases were strictly legal.  But my philosophy is from the Bible of "He who lives by the sword shall die by the sword" and I have made that my guiding principle.  So if Kate Roberts gave me a gun as a wedding present or something- - I'd hand it back to her saying "I don't want it".   I'm one of those "nuts" who believes that the odds of your being killed once word gets out you are packing heat.  But the question Stephanie and others posed remain unanswered.  What do you do about this Elliot fellow who seems to slip through the safety net or whatever.  I guess it was either Donald Rmusfeld or Collin Powell who made the famous statement in the Iraq War build-up of "We don't want the first definitive sign of Saddam having weapons of mass destruction being a mushroom cloud.   That lady Stephanie had on her show was right, I guess, in saying that "More often than not people with Aspurgers syndrone are more likely the victums of mental illness than the perpertrators of it.  Actually Pete Richards told me the same thing.  I've also told you that on more than one occasion when my Mom accused me of having Aspurgers syndrone, that Judy was adement that I didn't.  And Judy's not exactly the sort of person who hands out compliments like candy.  I told you about Gary who used to live here.  I thought he had Aspurgers and if he were living anywhere but a place like this where half the people are a little psycho- - he'd have gotten the crap beaten out of him several times away, just because of the way he acted.  I could give that Elliot Roger guy some advice on girls if he wanted it- - but other people tried and failed.  Then there is the whole race angle that right wingers like Rush and Hannity don't want to talk about.  It's priveleged white people.  You don't find this sort of power mad narcicism among minorities.  This guy sure had a lot more breaks in life than I ever did.  My hunch if if I were allowed to see a hidden video of the guy interacting with family members I could spot what the problem is pretty quickly.  Maybe I'm kidding myself.  As you know (not to use a TV example or anything) I told you that Dr Marlena Evans oughta be sued for psychiatric mal practice for the interraction between herself and Will Horton.  And I said at the time "It's conversations like that that really damage a person and make whatever problems he's dealing with all the worse, and if she's not careful she could actually turn him Gay".  As it turned out this wasn't just grandstanding on my part, but turned into reality.  I don't want to quote the proverb "It takes one to know one' or anything- - but some of us are shall we say more "sensitized" to "irregularities in communacations" that others might miss.  Part of me thinks (citing the old Jim Cooper line) "His only problem is that he doesn't have any problems".  This sentament was echoed on a recent George Washington's blog posting about "Some people or even Institutions are Shielded from the least bit of conflict, and are allowed to go on living out the fiction that "I'm supposed to live a priveleged life where I get literally anything I want at the drop of a hat".   The blog points out that this is the surest prescription for collosal Failure in the course of time.  OK I've sermonized enough.  And I did talk about the idea of "back-stopping".   Dr Levy says we all need to be "back-stopped".  Yeah- - I need a limo and free booze delivered personally to my room- - but I'm not going to get it.  When you think about it people are objectively "Insecure" from an objective basis- - have Fewer mental probolems than those who have the world handed to them on a silver platter at an early age.  These are the ones who seem to forever going to their shrink who they see twice a week.  And they talk and talk, and nothing ever gets accomplished.  OK I've sermonized enough- - going on longer than I intended.

They had a press conference by the SB sheriff last evening around six preempting the ABC network news.  But even when the news conference was over they kept saturating the air waves with it, as they did this morning on NBC.  There were ten “crime scenes” or locations making kind of a loop where the guy drove by and shot.  The suspect Elliot Roger - - seems to have shot himself sitting in his car, after already sustaining a wound to the hip by Law Enforcement.  First he killed his three male roommates by stabbing them, though their names haven’t been released.  Then he shot two surrority sisters and then a student in a deli, and so six died.  He apparently shot eight additional people and ran four over with his car.  After this it was the Mc Laughlin group.  Now and last week are the ONLY two weeks I’m ever aware of that Eleanor Clift was not present.  Up till last week Eleanor had never missed a week, but I guess she just got fed up with all the “piling on”.  So now the five conservatives have the floor all to themselves and can say whatever they want.   There were four quick topics. 

I had Shawn Hannity on and they replayed the interview with Texas governor Rick Perry where Shawn fawned all over him.  Hannity can complain about his taxes, but I’m wondering what is different now as opposed to twenty years ago under the Clinton administration?  Probably nothing.  Hannity keeps talking about all of this drilling and fracking we  should be doing because “The US reserves are greater than that of the entire Mideast combined”.  He says “If we develop our reserves we can go tell the Mideast to “pound sand”.  I don’t think they’re worried.  I saw all of those graphs from about three years ago saying that the United States only had about four percent of the world’s oil reserves.  And I do not think with all of this hype over the past ten years, those statistics are substantially changed.  And I know that because the price is still a hundred dollars a barrel.   So as far as I’m concerned Hannity can talk till he’s blue in the face. 


On C-Span I replayed some of that Veterans Administration hearing, jumping around.  Then it was this author on “Book TV” allegedly critiquing the 9 – 11 commission but this book itself was like another cover up.  The underlying principle in both cases was “We’re not here to lay any blame or responsibility at the feet of any particular person”.   So essentially the whole interview had nothing to do with the events of 9 – 11.  There was this one guy in the Clinton administration named Sandy Burger who every time he came across a document that he was involved with, would take that ann any copies he later found, and he would run them through the shredder.  No explanation was ever offered.  Also there was some allusion to an Iranian connection that made absolutely no sense at all.  Then I watched another brief interview from a writer about 9 – 11.

John Boehner just finished up his press briefing, which seemed to be shorter, which was done on Wednesday.  The reason why the Speaker isn’t going ahead with the Senate immigration bill is that he considers that bill dead in the water, and no way could the House approve a bill on such a massive scale but wants to go at the problem “peace meal”.   Yet he will maintain he really wants to pass some kind of bill.  He doesn’t “trust the president to enforce the bill, and the President will have to earn that trust before we act on any bill”.  That to me is a lot of verbal tap dancing.   The Speaker says that firing and replacing Gen Shensecki would take too much time and we need action closer to the immediate problem now.  I can’t argue with that.   Boehner said that the Bengazi committee will “take some time to get going” because people have to hire staff to investigate documents.  To me this raises the question of “what have they been doing all this time already gone by?”

So now I guess I'll undo all my credibility by talking about Cosmic stuff.  First of all the "Pittsburgh DES RHO" group claims the Pretenders rock group as the "third leg of the third wave" to to speak.  Mal Evans as you know tagged the original Pretenders drummer as "the sole survivor" but the Federation was only "courting' the Pretenders to begin with.  They started off as Agagenian in origen, (using the Romulan term)  Two other groups we may or may not have told you were also Agegenian were Pat Benetar, and oddly enough "The Talking Heads", which may be the least "punk sounding' Agegenian group.   We are informing you now two groups we may have said were "The Berlin Group" or "Berliners" to use the Sirius A term - - "Men at Work" and "Billy Idol".  These are Rhondonian groups.  However - "late Berliners" such as Simple Minds, can sound a lot like Billy Idol.   If we didn't say it's out belief that Aldeberan VIII (known as Aldeberan III in Romulan circles) is a cloaked planet- - and they hired out the Romulans for permission to cloak their entire planet.  All three planets circling Sirius - that's A, B, and 0 are all three cloaked planets.  The question arises of "What if scientists uncover evidence that reveal that you're just full of it- in some of the statements you've made about cosmic geography?   Then I would say "so be it" and move on.   I didn't post yesterday or the day before.  Given my pathetic blogger numbers, I have little incentive to be that interested in - "protecting my image" because I pretty much don't have "an image" to protect at this point.

The usual ABC game shows were on but my sleepiness was the predominant feature of the evening.  I was dead tired.  At a minute after eight I was aware that “Burn Notice” was starting but I don’t remember anybody changing the channel.  I slumbered and roused at a quarter to nine, and supposing it was later, I went outside for what I thought would be a final “bedtime” cigarette.  It was my last smoke.  Lisha was out there mostly talking to that new guy with glasses.  She and I conversed a little but I was pretty non compus mentus.  But I forced myself to remain up at least another half hour and I supposed when I plopped into bed I’d be “out” thirty seconds after my head hit the pillow.  That didn’t happen.  Instead I kept shifting position and had a coughing fit, which punctuated the night.

Could Another Manufactured Crisis like 9 - 11 Be On Its Way?

I’ve been thinking anew that there is probably some crisis date in the country- - - not that the Lord will intervene with a rapture of the faithful like Glen or I might like, but some crunch, some incident or crisis that will be some excuse for the government to take away more of our civil liberties.  10 -12 – 14 is as good a date as any.  I believe that “something” dramatic and unexpected is going to take place that shakes up this country and it has something to do with the governments desire to take civil liberties away from us.  I think 9 – 11 was “phase one” of this dictatorial crisis and this is phase two, with a possible phase III to come down the line.  (Once they perfect metal mind probes)  Could the government do a GPS without one of those ankle bracelets, which are awkward anyhow.  Perhaps something smaller like an injection of something under the skin.  Yeah this is me talking, not some nut on the KFI early morning show.  You may ask “OK what now is motivating or impelling you to think that way?”   I got to thinking of that George Washington’s blog thing about how the government is acquiring “caches of small weaponry”.   Fact two is that clearly President Obama has been systematically lying to us about just how MUCH government surveillance and invasion of our privacy that the NSA practices.  This bill that passed the House last week, I’ll bet you will never be signed by the President.  But you may respond to me “The government just can’t make up whole new areas where it grants itself new powers - - can it?”  Let’s go back to the election of 2000.  The constitution clearly spells out that congress is the one that settles all electoral disputes.   This has happened before in our history that no candidate seemed to have a clear victory.  Two times that come to mind are 1824 and 1876.  In neither of those times would the US Supreme Court dream of just “taking charge from here”.  Normally it takes months if not years for a case to be heard by the Supreme Court.  And they take their sweet time about deciding cases once they get them, too.  The votes in Florida had NOT all been counted.  Clearly is we knew our history the next step would see what happened when the electoral college met in early December.  That never happened.  I mean back in the old days there used to be a CAUSE or CASE for the court to hear.  Someone had to BRING it and the person bringing the case had to have Legal Standing.  There is nothing here for a court to decide because there is no case because the votes haven’t all been counted.  And it’s the state of Florida’s responsibility to count those votes.  That’s in the constitution, too.   Then when George W Bush got elected- - how strange it is nobody can remember what the President did before September 11th.  I sure can’t.  I think he was just kind of one of those nothing Presidents like Franklin Pierce or somebody, who would serve one term and be out.  George Bush had other ideas.  As Barbra Bush might say “9 – 11 worked out very well for him!”   9 – 11 GAVE George Bush his whole “reason for being”.   Then we had all of the anthrax letters to congressmen and the passage of the Patriot Act in a big hurry.   And of course we had all those yellow and orange alerts and you know the rest.  But now we are in another situation where- - there will be two and a half more years of apparently the President and congress in a stalemate just as they have been in most of the previous four years making a total of six years of stalemate between the two parties where absolutely nothing gets accomplished- - and the US electorate is perfectly happy to send in the same lazy bums back for another two or six years, to continue to do nothing except to insure that the popularity of Congress never rises much above ten percent.  I find this scenario a little strange.  And because everybody is predicting it- - that’s my cue that it won’t happen that way.  I just don’t see America being in a state of suspended animation another six years.  And I’m just thinking I don’t think we’ll see another few months of this- - till early fall.


On the Chris Matthews show it was kind of the same old, same old.  Apparently no progress has been made on the Governor Christie prosecution by the DA in four months.  Not one new piece of information has surfaced in all that time.  But there is a war or conflict between the New York prosecutors and the New Jersey prosecutors.  People feel that the New Jersey prosecutors are all in Christie’s back pocket because they’re all people who used to work for Christie.  There is an ugly Senate election brewing in the state of Mississippi- - where this older candidate’s invalid wife is being dragged into the campaign, which is dirty.  On the matter of whether the democrats should participate in the Bengazi hearings, there is a powerful argument in favor of that I hadn’t thought of.  Hillary Clinton we imagine, will be the star witness, and the idea of her being pummeled on a 24 and 7 basis with questions from nothing but Republicans, is a little much to take.  We need to get Democrats in there so Hillary isn’t driven completely nuts by republican insanity.  There is a bit of vaguely cheery news out there however.  Three former Republican candidates for President from 2012,  Tim Pawlente,  Rick Santorum, and Mitt Romney have all three come out in favor of raising the minimum wage.  I imagine all three now have been ceremoniously drummed out by the tea party.  This is just another sign of John Boehner and the relentless move to the further political right by the tea party.  It was stated by these three “If we want to stimulate the economy and get money into circulation, as we claim we want to, then a minimum wage hike would be the logical way to go”.   Immigration is another issue where the Republicans are very vulnerable.  I thought John Boehner was stepping down after this term anyhow, but he’s clawing on for dear life fighting to his last gasping breath.

 Disneyland is in the midst of an “All Night Party” where people for the only time in the year are allowed to dress up in costume as Disney characters, and the park will remain open for 24 hours to celebrate the new meteor shower or something, which also occurs tonight.  A new comet crossed earth’s path for the first time- - and now (also for the first time) earths orbit is moving into that path.  Someone said there could be as many as a thousand shooting stars per hour.  Someone else said the average might be three per minute.  Logic would dictate that being a “fresh tail” there would be a maximum of debris to be lit up and burn in earth’s atmosphere.  They now have a diagnostic test or protein substance analysis to tell whether your parkinsons will be a mild one, or one that will render you in a wheel chair.  They also say that children with obsessive compulsive disorder have too much glutamine in one part of their brains and not enough in another.  Meanwhile a Ukranian boy about ten was beaten up his second day in this country at age ten by street kids who wanted his fancy roller blades.

It wasn't me who tied in Time - - as a Dimension, just like spacial dimensions.  I would never have come up with something that hair brain.  But as I said recently - - if Time exists - - - as a dimension - - then you can go - - one way along a line - - or you can turn around and go the other way along that same line.  But "the line" has to exist before you can do that.  Otherwise you would be claiming that a whole dimension is being "physically created" that DIDN'T EXIST before, and to me that presents even more problems than saying time exists.  Because to their logic and not mine, if Time exists - - then it exists.  In other words you can start filling it in with dots of identified content in the same way would mark off inches in a tape measure.  I have also hinted at one theory- - starting perhaps back in late 2009 of this thing called the "Super Self' that already KNOWS the Future.  I have developed this theory called the "Bozon wall" for lack of a better term at the moment.  This uses trigometric inverted cosine logic (to be precise) by which something gets heavier and heavier- - till it suddenly reached infinity and flips around a hundred and eighty degrees (the way a tangent reading would also - but this is what happens when the Cosine itself crosses zero, the inverted Cosine flips around), and then slowly goes back approaching zero.  I also spoke of CAUSE and EFFECT - - in the same way as double entry bookkeeping.  If you have an entry on one side there has to be an equal and opposite entry on the other.  But all of these "entries" have already been made.  We are but sougerners on an already completed profit and loss statement.  The truth is out there;  we just don't know what it is- - for reasons that aren't entirely clear to me.  (Selah)

Plaguing Questions About Our Government

The Big Picture is apparently another thing Thom Hartman does.  President Obama gave a speech one year ago about plans to close down Guantanamo prison, and also that because he had issued a number of executive memos - - that already there were no drone attack abuses.  But the lady guest believes there are still too many secret documents.  Hartman believes that the bill passed by the House yesterday was a “neutered bill”. There are complaints that the secret chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing are still a secret.  But the theory is that they involve some kind of dangerous form on benzene that’s a by-product of refining gasoline.  And it would seem that formerly this chemical would be a waste toxin but now they can pump it into the ground as part of the fracking process.  But Shawn Hannity says that these fracking chemicals are perfectly safe and that there has NEVER been ANY incident of hydrolic fracking contaminating the underground water table.  And Shawn goes to lengths to say that it’s not physically possible that contamination could even Happen.   Rush Limbaugh is all upset about a new and still classified memo that he apparently knows the contents of.  He claims this unreleased classified memo involves calling You Tube earlier in the day before the Bengazi attack, and issuing an apology, and the fast that the US apologized for the Anti Islamic video is “proof” that Obama knew about the attack on Bengazi before it happened.  I can’t follow that logic.  Rush seems to completely ignore the fact that Bengazi is a CIA outpost and not a strictly diplomatic outpost.  

Sean Hannity oughta call his show the Fracking in North Dakota hour, these days.  According to him there is just endless oil shale up there.  The baccan shale they hydrolically fracture, but they don’t mine the shale and extract that, as they would in Utah or Colorado, which would damage the environment even more.  Hannity calls oil “America’s life blood”.  He practically worships the petrol chemical industry.  Maybe they should get married.  Now Nicole has taken to compounding her lies.  If there was any hope of salvaging her relation with Eric she has made it infinitely worse.  First she wants to elope to Las Vegas, but she doesn’t want to tell Daniel and Jennifer they are leaving.  She has a point.  Usually people elope because they want a chance to be alone, away from everybody giving them advice.  But now she’s telling another lie as though Daniel has some irrational reason for being against their marriage.  Kate thinks Lucas is deliberately “setting himself up” to be charged to take the heat off of Will and Sonny.  Hope has caught him telling lie after lie, and then there is Benjamin who’s still a suspect.

Free Speech TV was back on the air this morning, if I didn’t say.  Thom Hartman made a point about young people out of college being $27,000 in debt.  So they can’t buy a home or hope to build up equity- - and this shadow of debt may follow them for a long time, particularly in this bad job market.  Hartman states that never in history before have college post graduates as a class been in such economic dire straits.  In the Torah of course God made provisions for "Jubilee years" where all debts would be forgiven and "all property returned to its original owners".   Sometimes it's the lender that finds certain activities "unsustainable".   For instance Judy is always identifying with Communist China and how they have lent us so much money.  But when I became a Christian I "lent a lot of emotional credulity to the Christian movement".  This was actually a suspension of judgement "on faith".   But clearly there became a point where such conduct became unsustainable.  Various callers on the Jesus Christ show have reached this point, but Neil of KFI refuses to recognize that basic fact.

George Washington’s blog lead story is on how Rumsfeld and the Bushies lied about how “Building 7” collapsed.  There were two videos that were completely convincing on the subject.  These videos involved a lot of physics and math and geometry.  People who got passing grades in high school science shouldn't have any problem with it.  But let me add a fact I didn't report.  One meeting in Building 7 was mysteriously canceled that was scheduled at eight AM on September 11th.  The austensive reason was "one person got ill at the last minute".  I'm wondering - -  why there were so many explosives "disposal experts" on the scene then.  I don't see how the Republicans can make this gigantic "disconnect" with the Bush Administration giving him a "pass" on everything, while giving President Obama a pass on nothing.  (Selah)  Of course Dr Levy died about European countries having a sixty percent income tax rate.  NO European country has a sixty percent rate.  But Dr Levy is insistent over any doubts I had- - that yes if you were going to live in ANY of these countries that had some form of national health care you'd be paying sixty percent income tax.  Sweden is just over 56% and Denmark if 55% and China is 48% or something and a whole lot of countries are 45% including France and Germany.  South Africa is 40% and South Korea is 38%.  Spain is 52% which surprised me.  India is low, but Russia is about the lowest, strange as it seems.  Maybe they aren’t as broke as they think they are.  Wisconsin’s income taxes tend to be a little high.  So obviously the deficit would turn around with the rising economy there.

 Stephanie was talking about gravity being just a theory, that it travels the same way light waves do, which is something I didn’t know till less than ten years ago.  Of course this means - - even if Black holes were possible under Einstein’s math, which they aren’t, black holes would still be precluded from existence by this “What you see is what you get” theory, as I have renamed this gravity as light waves one.  Black Holes are an oxy-moronism under the theory of gravity propounded by such people as Astronomy Cafe.  This is because - - nutron stars even - - have no effect on You - - untill the waves of gravity, which are NO FASTER than light- - actually get to you, just as any Earthquake --has no effect on you till its seismic waves GET to where you Are.  (Selah)  John Fugelsang points out that in one passage men and women were created together and in another Eve was created out of Adam's rib, and the woman was almost an afterthought.  Stephanie does well to wonder how "a day" could exist, since the Sun hadn't even been created till AFTER the earth, according to the Bible.  Here's a problem with Chuck Smith's "belief" that all creation is constantly dispursing and becoming more chaotic all the time.  Gravity by its very NATURE is universal Attraction.  This for instance, is how the rings of Saturn and other planets got formed.  But Chuck's ideas aren't subject to anything as fleeting as "science".  Other questions present themselves.  Samuel got on Saul's case because he ucerped the role as Priest making an oblation to God before a big battle to insure victory.  And yet the Torah states that no one who is Blind can be a Priest, and scripture describes Samuel as both a Priest, and also blind.  How is that?  Stephanie was talking a lot about science.  “She Blinded me with Science”.  We told you about Senator Brownback of Kansas who wanted to teach Creationism as "A Contraversy" and I said I could go along with that.  Brownback also said "We need to distinguished established Facts, from theories.   I've never regarded "avoiding one on one debates" as the best way to either Win a debate or "demonstrate to the other side" that I'm right.   THEY and not ME are the ones who always fear open, intellectual discussions, on just about anything.   Now Christianity has another problem in the whole area of love and romance.  Thom Hartman reports that a loving relation has beneficial lasting effects on people - - even people who aren't perfect- - even if the romance proved short lived.  "A loving relationship accelerates personal development".   This flies squarely in the fact of the "beliefs" of Christian pastors, or people like Neil of KFI or even Dr Laura, who say that the safest course of action is almost ALWAYS never go get into a relation with the opposite sex.   Advocates for Christianity (talking to people who have never "been on the inside) will deny this of course, but then you know how these people lie about everything.  (Selah)

Now on a completely different matter - - "She Blinded Me With Science" (the song) and “In Cars” and “One Night in Bancock” are all “Phil Collins” groups cosmically.  Also this same Phil Collins group has "sponsored" on a temporary basis other big names such as Peter Gabriel (by the way) as well as Pete Townhend's solo efforts, and that big eighties "Yes" album, at least one Stevie Winwood album (in 1986) and Eric Claptin (1985, 1986, 1989)  Many wonder about the suffix of "-ized".   The Bible says in the Greek that people rather than demon POSESSED are actually demon-IZED.   That could be likened to - - for example - - monetizing the big bank financiers of Wall Street so that they are "too big to fail".   Picture a demon like Mitt Romney.  He will enter your life and throw you into karmic dept and for a time lend You his power - - and this is the sort of "power that corrupts" on an almost literal basis.  Like alcohol it will alter your conduct- - and for a time appear to "backstop" you - - much as a mama's boy can get away with being a bully to other little kids- - if he knows no Matter what he does, his mama will back him up.  (Selah)  Now to the problem of Word deviating from Federation spellings of words. I’m so sick of that “ally” ending.  Back in the old days I’d just write “ly” and be done with it.  When I did spelling tests I never was exposed to this “ally” ending that’s on so many words these days.  Another bugaboo of mine is dropping the "e" in words like flakey, phoney, and shakey.   Also words such as behaviour and saviour, and defence, and fasciest and liscense,  and also the whole "ety" thing with rarety and securety, where the rule is "just put a -ty after it, OK?  Also with words like shaddow and ballance, I have a problem with dropping the natural double "l".  “Nobody Walks in LA” is the “Berliner” group, cosmically- - which was popular in early 1983 the same time as “In Cars” which may have engendered confusion in the past.  I trieed Mike Papentonio’s show from May 11th, a week I didn’t think I had seen.  But it kept freezing on the word “addicted” as “Rand Paul is afraid if people stay on unemployment they will be addicted to it”.   So since the video would not progress from that point I went back to Stephanie.
