The expression goes “great
minds think alike”. It’s usually said
when some great idea or thought is come up with independently by two separate
people. The Greeks said “Ideas are real
things- - more “real” than the material world, in fact. I have entertained the theory that ideas, per
se, are energy strings just as “events” are.
Indeed most great ideas spawn great events. Thom Hartman was talking a
little about great ideas earlier. Of
course the whole thrust of a lot of my Federation stuff is that “certain belief
systems have common origens and are spawned by the same source. The idea is not new with me. Fundamentalist Christians have always
believed this. There arises the question
about things you have a “passion” for.
The new girl Erin has questioned whether what Shawn Hannity has is
passion or just pure anger. We know that
Shawn Hannity is “passionate” about keeping poor Mexican kids just across the
barbed wire fence OUT of this country.
That’s not the first thought that crosses my mind when I see wide eyed
impoverished children. But Shawn’s motto
seems to be “I’ve Been Everywhere”. OK
all four of Shawn’s four grandparents are poor people from Ireland. Shawn is this guy who comes out of obscurity
to national fame and prominence, kind of like Barock Obama, kind of like the
Antichrist in the Bible. Shawn has been
down in the immigration tunnels. Shawn
has been in San Diego. Shawn has been in
El Paso. Shawn is tight with all manner
of government authority. Shawn has seem
major gang leaders get arrested. Shawn
has seen all of the drugs piled high in secret rooms. Shawn has been to Israel. Shawn says he feels “perfectly safe” in Israel
even during the so called “dangerous” rocket attacks coming from Gaza. Yet Shawn was also “insulted” that the Air
Port officials at Ben Gurian closed down the air port because it was too
dangerous. Shawn identifies with the
rich Bankers keeping Greece captive.
Rush and Shawn both seem to be against this minimum wage bill signed by
the President today that raises the pay level where you get minimum time and a
half pay for overtime. When it comes to
occupations, Shawn has done it all. Hell
– he’s had even more diverse occupations than Paul. I’ve never heard someone brag so much about
where he’s been and the experiences he’s had since the last time I listened to “Sympathy
for the Devil”. We’ve been able to
pretty much figure out what things Shawn is passionate about. All fourteen or fifteen Republican candidates
for President are passionate about keeping homosexuals from marrying. In fact all fourteen candidates seem to be in
virtual lock step about most of today’s pressing issues. The Greek people would do better to pull out
of the EU as they are voting to do in that referendum vote this weekend. Thom Hartman points out that if they went to
the Drachma and gave up the Euro- - they wouldn’t be “locked in” but could
inflate their way out of their current crisis- - just as poor countries have
done (or tried to do) for a couple of centuries. People who are pro EU and Euro seem almost “angry”
at the Greek people regarding them as no good and lazy. Of course we hear that Shawn is not the same
around the house and among friends as he is in the studio. But like Howard Stern beginning in 1987 this “thing”
just takes over and pours out of him. In
Howard’s case it’s the most vile of sexual imigry. Howard is a vile man. I wouldn’t want to be around him or have a
beer with the guy. Is that what Satan
does either “for” or “to” a person that he taps into the Evil inside a
person? - all that rotten ugliness- - so
you get literally paid for being a jerk?
Inquiring minds like me want to know.
How do you in your fourth year as a national talk show host- - get
invited to spend a night in the Lincoln bedroom in the white house? Some people say they discovered some “secret
to success”. I’d like to know what that
is for people like Shawn and Rush.
Because there are a lot of Joe Blows out there are jerks too, but don’t
get paid for it. Judgement Day I hear is
coming for Beck, Hannity, and Limbaugh because next year according to Hartman
their contracts will be up for renewal- -and none of these three have ratings
any more.
Governor
Chris Christie has announced for President today and I guess he is the
fifteenth candidate to do so. I’ve lost
track. They were just reviewing all of
his economic policies and reminding us what sad economic shape New Jersey is
in. There is this big pollution case
where the corporation was fined a billion dollars. But Christie intervened and got the judge to
issue a “stay” where the case could be reconsidered. He then decided he would pocket two hundred
million of the 250 million settlement fee- - and use the fifty million to clean
up the mess, that was previously deemed to cost a billion to clean up. Christie, like Perry didn’t just fire one
person but a whole prosecution staff that went against his wishes. But Christie can be positively ruthless in a
few prosecution cases - - even to the extent of hiding (withholding) exculpatory
evidence, which is illegal in any state.
Many people wonder what happened to all of the Hurricane Sandy
funds. We know one politician was
penalized for not getting flood relief all for a political vendetta. Christie is really “passionate” if you will,
when he speaks. Sure Donald Trump talked
about putting up a fence and “charging Mexico to do it”. But for Trump I believe it’s an act. Christie is really heartfelt and genuine
about his contempt for the poor. I think
the punsters will crucify him with all of those “tsunami splash effects” when
it comes to talking about Christie jumping in to the political contest. Both Trump and Christie are going to be
murdered in the Republican debates because there are too many people who can’t
stand either of them, and won’t defend them.
NBC dropped Donald Trump and Miss America and
Miss Universe and Trump was already dropped from celebrity apprentice, when he
announced. Trump, rather than apologise
for the remarks, double down on them.
WCPT stated that both Shawn Hannity and Bill O Riley have defended
Trump, as well as all the staff on FOX news.
Randy Rhodes is going to make some kind of appearance on the Stephanie
Miller program tomorrow. Randy has been
writing her own book. Stephanie’s book
goes on sale (?) on Friday. How can a
book be number one on the NY Times best seller list and still not be available
to buy yet?
Norman Goldman makes an
interesting point. What if in Texasistan
or some place you went to apply for a gun permit and the clerk in charge said “My
pacifist religious convictions forbid me from granting you your gun permit”. And yet certain people think nothing of
people refusing to grant marriage licenses even if it’s now the law of the
land. This whole thing about religious
convictions is a touchy one. I don’t
deny that. I don’t think Catholic
hospitals should be compelled to grant abortions or that condoms be sold in the
Vatican gift shop. But if we don’t have
the rule of law, do we not descend into chaos?
We know how “passionately” rich people are about increasing their own
taxes. Mitt Romney seemed a little “passionate”
when he saw all those Chinese women exploited in that fenced in sweat shop
building. Did he really buy into that
line about “We aren’t fencing them in; we’re fencing those outside OUT, who
want in”. And I guess there are also
suicide nets- - because you just naturally feel about stepping out of a ten
story window on your morning coffee break.
The constitution says “No religious test will ever be required to hold
government office”. I take this to mean
that when it comes to civil service employment, the government has no “regard”
for religion, and I use the term in a neutral sense.
This is after dinner
and it began raining before dinner at least before I got out to the patio (it
was wet) and during dinner there was
thunder but I didn’t see any lightning.
It was raining after dinner. Bill
drew on his cash account here and so had cigarettes before dinner and he lent
me one. We had corned beef and lots of
wedge potatoes and corn bread and red Jell-O for dessert. I’m sure my blog readers have had other
metaphysical questions occur to them that perhaps I should deal with so I guess
I will mention a few things. For
instance it’s been pointed out to me that you don’t always need a sensient
avatar to be able to have clairvoyant abilities, which is knowing what’s going
on at some distant place. This would be
level two in our psychic dimensions.
Dardanians use the term of “space folding”, but we know this is
physically impossible. What it is is the
“same thing” doctrine applied where you in your own physical body can be two
places at the same time. Level one could
be called both “level one possession” and also “level one psychic contact”. Level three is- - “friendly possession”
where the original soul voluntarily departs the body that you come to
inhabit. This is called level three
psychic dimension because not only can you see and hear, but touch and feel and
taste as well.
