THE EXTENT OF KNOWLEDGE

THE EXTENT OF KNOWLEDGE
10/26/07

Intuitive communications are often transmitted in a non verbal language. I have often thought of trying to communicate to a radio audience, in total verbal silence. I ‘ve tried to imagine what an audience reaction would be . If I could transmit an entire program designed to evoke a spiritually cognitive experience, I would have to challenge all the known physical laws and broadcasting protocols of verbal communication. The audience would have to be willing to suspend their own sensory awareness, and concentrate upon my thought waves, using the props of a radio and a radio frequency. In reality if my communcation to the audience was successful, it would be solely attibutable to their own telepathic awareness of what I was transmitting to them, and not to a radio signal. I may attempt this on my internet program as an experiment in audience participation.

Everyone communicates partly in silence, telepathically , and cosmicly. What we intuitively know, can rarely be verbalized. What we intuitively take for granted, is seldom ever spoken of. I know that I exist, however I never speak of my existence. I honestly do not know what existence is . I only know that I do exist. Where I exist and in what universe , demention, or perimeter of a universe I exist in, is unknown to me. I am here now at my desk, writing this, yet I do not truely understand how I am doing it, or why. I can not explain why I continue to write, though I know intuitively that I am writing and am compelled to write. I feel I must communicate now, and place my thoughts into the ether, where others can see them, or read them , or hear them. As I do this I am also imprinting an emotional and intuitive message to those who are in tune to them.

Our lives appear to follow a preconditioned pattern. This pattern is designed by us, as daily proof of our existence. Each thought we have in some magnificent way, transforms itself into who we are. If we stop thinking, if we close our minds to all thought, and all outside stimulus, then in fact do we cease to exist? If we feel nothing, see nothing, taste, smell or hear nothing, then are we nothing? In this state do we become living dead? The divine aspect of our existence is the intuitive knowledge and wisdom; that allows us to sense our own existence. This is an inherent ability we all have to create our own physical reality. Upon opening our eyes in darkness, or listening to silence, we can create all forms of sounds and sights, and emotional stimulation to prove our existence. Fear is a constant, invisible, reminder of our physical existence, pain is another, our imagination is another reminder; that can intensify, diminish, or ignore our sensory, and extrasensory perceptions.

As every person , I evolve throughout my day. My thoughts and actions are a direct result of my intuitive impulses. I intuitively know that I must wake up from sleep if I am to function at all in the physical world. Each waking moment is a sensual validation of my physical existence. Every moment I am asleep is an unconsious validation of my existence. Dreams are an unconsious validation, as are subconsious reactions to certain stimuli. Do we exist in an eternal dream of reality? If we do , we still manifest our existence in some demention of reality.

I am acutely aware that my worldly knowledge is limited. I am not convinced that my intuitive knowledge is limited. Intuitive knowledge allows me to continue to exist, and successfully adapt in this present reality. The possession of intuitive knowledge may be an assumption, however my awareness of it, is satisfactory proof to me; that I could not exist, nor have I ever existed without it. The extent of my learned knowledge without my intuition could not validate reality. Without the influence of a preternatural or intuitive intelligence , I could not possibly understand what has allowed my existence up to this moment. Reason would demand that it is a preternatural determination and manifestation of my own destiny, but I believe it is a greater influence; that guides my thoughts and actions, and leads me on to fullfill a destiny. Denying this outer influence, would mean denouncing all possibility of a greater spiritual force, or intelligence greater than my own. Knowing the limitations of my current level of knowledge and experience, I am reluctant to accept any static, or lesser thought process that could impede my own. The absense of foreknowledge of an undetemined future, creates a great uncertainty for me. I can not believe I exist without the aid and guidence of a divine force; that either exists within me, or is a continual influence in my spiritual and physical development. If I am limited to only achieve the manifestation of what I learn from my research or from others, it would create far too many obstacles and limitations for me and deny all access to my greater self. Without my intuitive intelligence I would be reduced to a machine, defined and designed by human engineers; who would instruct other men, or machines, on how I should operate.

The attributable sources affecting one’s existence, are intuititive, and cosmic, and are easily ignored or can become entangeled with our humility and arrogance. Man made intelligence is too inferior and incomplete to be considered; when determining the true reason for our own existence.

THE PRESIDENT OF COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY IS THE CAMPUS IDIOT

THE PRESIDENT OF COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY IS THE CAMPUS IDIOT
10/25/07

I watched the speech given by President Amadinejad at Columbia University. It was a good speech. One that strove to include a spiritual message, and one that would open international dialogue on currently censored subjects. It was totally appropriate for a university audience; who’s reasons for attending should be to allow freedom of discussion, listen to various opinions, and debate and question the speaker on international and national issues. President Amadinejad’s significant statements were ridiculed by all American news media as “rambling and automatic”, or “inciting dissent and foolish”. They were questions the mainstream media in the U.S would never ask, or an American politician would never talk about publicly; regarding the crimes and conspiracies of the G.W Bush adminstration. The questions he posed to his audience were; who was really responsible for 911? Why are scholars not allowed to research the Jewish Holocaust? Why is Israel allowed to oppress and commit genocide against Palestinians without U.S or U.N outrage? What are the real motives for U.S aggression in the Middle East? Why is the U.S so adamant about going to war with Iran? Why can’t Iran have nuclear power as a source for it’s national energy , when other countries, far more dangerous,( such as North Korea), are allowed to possess nuclear weapons? These are valid questions, that the global academic community should be discussing openly, but have censored , ridiculed or ruin the careers of everyone; who attempts to argue the official, government explanations.

Mr.Bollinger,the (prez-dent) of Columbia University is a disgrace, and a perfect example of the decline of the quality of education in American universities, and the competence of their administrators. Mr. Bollinger is a national embarrassment, and should be condemned as such, for his blatant arrogance and stupidity. To introduce an invited guest speaker, a President of a foreign country, as a “Petty and cruel Dictator”is the extreme of political insults to a foreign head of state. That President Amadinejad did not walk off the stage and declare (prez-dent) Bollinger an ignorant , bigoted, Zionist Islamophob, bowing to the pressure of his Zionist masters, was an example of his complete mastery of self control. (prez-dent) Bollinger further insulted President Amadinejad , by claiming he was “ignorant and uneducated” . President Amadinejad holds a PHD in advanced physics! Bollinger is a moronic , globalist, politically appointed boob, with the social and diplomatic etiquette of the hill billie, homosexual, rapist, in the movie” Deliverance.” What a proud and exemplary performance from the(prez-dent), and campus idiot, of Columbia University. The parents of the students of Columbia University should be demanding his resignation . Those who aren’t are confident; that their tuition monies are being well spent. They must be proud of Mr. Bollinger’s shining example of incompetent academic leadership, which he displayed so prominantly, in front of the entire world with his introduction of President Amadinejad. Mr. Bollinger’s performance assures his place in history, and a permanently diminished reputation for Columbia University; as the most blatantly stupid, crude, contemptable, and arrogant, academic, to ever achieve the status of a president of an American university.

The American televison and radio networks and written press coverage of Amadinejad’s speech was nothing more than undisguised , anti islamic propaganda and, slanderous , libelous displays, of a war mongering , miltaristic, fascist , completely government controlled, media. A prominent New York newspaper, I will not mention it’s name, ran on their front page yesterday, President Amadinejad’s picture, and the headline of PRESIDENT OF EVIL. Is this what Americans want from their press? Is this what Americans want from their news media? Is this a true statement of what the majority of Americans are and believe?

I know that there are many who think as I do. I know that there are millions of intelligent Americans; who are disgusted by the ignorance and blatant propaganda being disguised as news by the U.S media. The reactions of the Republican candidates and several of the Democratic presidential candidates blatantly depict their dangerous intollerances, and militaristic, globalist , fascist, and religious fundamentalist ideologies. Without freedom of speech for everyone there is no freedom of speech in America. For our government and media to be so dominated and controlled by semetic, militaristic, and fundamental Christian ideologues is a diabolical danger, and a national disgrace . Freedom of Speech was established as a main pillar of the U.S Constitution by it’s architects. Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Assembly, are the two strongest pillars of any democratic form of government. Without them these forms of government collapse. Freedom of speech is an unalienable right given to American citizens, and should always be held before the world undiminished, as our torch of freedom to enlighten the world. It must never be extinguished by wickeness, bigotry, hatred, or fear by small minds, or oppressive governments. It must never be diminished by the blindness of religious zealots, or the ignorance of fools. Freedom of Speech is sacred, it is pure, it is the sword and shield of all Americans, to defend themselves from tyranny and oppression. It is the sacred duty of every American to protect the rights, and dignity, of all who are invited to our country, to speak openly; regardless the topic of discussion, or the reputation of the speaker. The president of Columbia University, and the American media, have defiled this sacred right . They will pay the consequences for their stupid, and insulting behaviour, by the distruction of their legacies, and the public unmasking of their true, petty, characters. I pray that what they do, or have done, may not lead to a world war, or futher U.S military conflicts. My hope is that Americans, and citizens from all countries will no longer tollerate the insanity, and hypocricy of their political and religious leaders, or the leadership and influences of their major academic, corporate and imperialists’ ambitions. History proves that all of these have ended by wars, revolutions, or total destruction. I fear greatly for the future of America, as I fear for the future of the world. The next war will begin by an unforgivable insult, stemming from the arrogance, stupidity, and ignorance, so often displayed by our current President, and academic idiots, like Mr.Bollinger of Columbia University, and so many others like him; who dominate U.S think tanks, and influence national and international policies. The Art of Diplomacy is a lost art in the United States. It is obviously untaught by Columbia University, and all other American universities, and it is completely unknown by the G.W Bush Administration.

A HOUSE ON FIRE

A HOUSE ON FIRE
10/24/07

The horror of the California wild fires is a harsh awakening to millions of Americans, that our well being and security could be lost overnight; through fire, flood, wind , earthquake, or any natural force of nature or man . America is not immune to natural or man made disasters. Our resiliance as a people is what has made us great. Our resiliance in the face of our greatest adversities is what keep the rest of the world in awe of us.

There have been many disasters in American history,and the American people have always come through stronger and wiser . We see our fellow Americans suffering cruel sacrifices, by the winds of Katrina and Rita and now by the winds of the Santa Anna wild fires. We feel for them and have deep concern for their suffering. Americans have survived civil war,slavery, revolution, World Wars, fires, floods, quakes, volcanos, and nationwide civil unrest, but somehow America has pulled through. Why, I am not certain. I believe it is because we demand it of ourselves, and of our nation. We demand self reliance, we demand self sacrifice, we demand our freedoms, we demand our right to live and persue happiness as a free people.

The time has come again,when our individualism, pride and confidence in ourselves must save our society and our nation. We can not rely on our government. We can not rely on our schools, we can not rely on our churches, anything or anyone to deliver us from disaster as a people and a nation. It is up to each of us to be our own leader. Each of us must rely on each other, but mostly upon ourselves. We must have the immovable faith of our immigrant and pioneer ancestors, and the steeled determination in achieving their vision. We must believe again in the best of ourselves, and what our nation can be and will be.

CONSIOUSNESS VS. INTUITION

CONSIOUSNESS VS. INTUITION
10/19/07

Tonight’s internet program is premised around a series of lectures by Ian Xel Lungold. (available on youtube) our guest George Dickson, will discuss with Leila and I what to expect in the very near future, regarding the catastrophic occurances that are about to take place, predicted by the Mayan Calendar. Join us tonight at 8pm. Click on Listen Live.

We are a month away from the end of the Fifth Day of the Galactic period. On November 18th , 2007 the world will enter the Fifth Night of the Galactic period, which will last until November 15, 2008. During this time it is predicted that Human Consiousness will not be able to adapt to the rapid cataclyzmic events. Civilization as we now know it will virtually collapse. Climate changes will be overwhelming , causing death and mayham thoughout the world. Only those who understand the reason for these events will understand how to overcome them.

Only through our intuition will we be able to survive the coming years. Relying on our consiousness will not provide the needed defense and understanding of all that is about to transpire. Understanding our need to depend upon our sober intuition, will allow us to survive. Becoming perpetually in the Zone. Acting and reacting quickly and without consious thought, trusting our natural intellect rather than our artificial intellect. The mind can only absorb 24 frames of information per second. We will soon be bombarded with hundreds of images and bits of information in one second. The result will be unconsiousness, and insanity.

Listen to our program tonight as we explain the causes and effects of the calamity to come during the Fifth Night of the Mayan Calendar, and how to protect ourselves and be able to rise to a higher consiousness, to greet the Sixth Day of the Galactic Period, when the miraculous manifestation of the human consiousness reaches it’s zenith. {Blogtalkradio.com/lasteelshoworg or go to the top right hand corner of this page and click on Listen Live to see our complete audio archives on Blogtalkradio.com/lasteelshoworg.}

IT SHOULDN’T HURT

IT SHOULDN’T HURT
10/17/07

Making a right and responsible decision shouldn’t hurt. It should feel good, and easy, but it never seems to be. It takes both physical and mental pain to make a major decision. It often takes great thought to deliberate on an honest approach to making a decision that could have a serious outcome. The right decision should feel right, if it is right, and should be easy to put into action, but it seldom is easy.

I laughed at an astrologer the other day, when I was told that my transits were not in a proper position to make a big decision. I asked when my transits would be in a good position to make a major decision, and I was told three months . The absurdity of the entire concept became apparent. According to this astrologer, I should probably wear loafers to avoid making a decision to tie my shoes any time soon.

Looking to the stars to predict the perfect time to make decisions is a way to avoid making decisions, or a way to rationalize making bad decisions. Any decision should be made whenever we feel able to make it. Star riders are prone to hemoroids. Those who believe in their predictions are prone to lapses of good judgement. It’s easy to have someone else make a decision for us. It’s too easy. I’ve come to the conclusion that making decisions is a hurting process. It can be painful to have to assess a situation that we need to make a decision about. Most decisions are difficult to make. Advisors are often called in to aid us , experts, therapists, trainers, psychiatrists, psychics, friends and family members. I seldom seek advise from anyone regarding important decisions. I may seek information and study the issue for a while, or I may simply have a double bourbon and make the decision a little less painful. Regardless of which method I choose I generally decide what I am going to do without excessive delays or council. I’ve found if I avoid or delay making decisions they become harder to make later on.

Decision making is a painful process. In my experience, good decisions tend to be more painful to make than bad ones. Bad decisions are too easy to make. They might feel good at the time we make them, but too often the results are less than positive. I advise anyone who is making a decision to hurt on. The pain only lasts as long as you delay making the decision, and becomes extremely uncomfortable if we wait too long. Never be afraid to trust your instincts, do research, or have a double bourbon to aid in making your decisions. If you have difficulty deciding which method works best for you, I suggest you might use all three.

IN PRAISE OF THE PUTIN , AHMADINEJAD BOLD ALLIANCE

IN PRAISE OF THE PUTIN , AHMADINEJAD BOLD ALLIANCE
10/17/07

I was very pleased to see Russia come to the defense of Iran . The madness of the Bush administration’s foreign policy is becoming increasingly dangerous and unpredictable. Russia had no other viable alternative than to support Iran in it’s defiant stance against the biligerent, insane, threats made by Mad George WWIII.

No sovereign nation could possibly accept the insults and insane threats of attack against them, made by the Bush Administration, without fighting back diplomatically, as well as creating an alliance for military support in case of a preemptive attack by the U.S. The U.S under any sane president or congress would demand the same response that Iran and Russia have given if the U.S were threatened by any country. Any sane leader of any sane society would react in the same way Iran and Russia have reacted. They are fully aware that Mad George has depleted his military forces , and his henchmen are as insane as he is. They know full well the true sentiment of the American people. They know the poll numbers for Congress and the President. They are resolved in their statements of warning ; that an attack against Iran by Israel or the U.S would trigger an immediate retaliation, resulting in all out war against Israel and the United States. Only fanatical fools like Hitler, or Mad George W. Bush, and his insane henchmen would launch an attack against Iran, or challenge the Russians. This would be complete and utter insanity, but Mad George is insane.

I am ashamed that the U.S has come to this lowest point in its history. We are nearing collapse of our wealth and military power. The American people are lost in ignorance and indifference. Few know what is happening in the world or in their own country. Few know how close we are to another World War. The American people are like sheep and cattle being brought to slaughter, as a herd of animals, unknowing and uncaring of their fate, concerned only in their next meal or amusement. Americans who are aware of what is happening to their country , and do not fight back or cry out an alarm, are victims of their own madness.

CRITICIZED

CRITICIZED
10/15/07

Our thoughts are forever spinning through the universe, why would anyone think they could possibly prevent them ? Only fools plotting courses of folly, have the audacity to shout depressing doomsday scenarios, or try to prevent an optimist from having a positive thought of the future. As an optimist I consider all negative thoughts to be offensive. Criticism is a neutral action, immune to all negative or positive influence. It gives needed constructive correction, and inspiration, or rejection, and self judgement. Either type of criticism should be considered neutral, and a forward stepping stone on our ascent to higher consiousness. Both types of criticism can awaken us to our better selves. Harsh criticism awakens us to possible faults or defects in ourselves. Positive criticism can be viewed as a vanity pill , or an ego booster, and should not always be trusted as constructive. The source of any criticism must always be evaluated, before value is given to it. Criticism is only useful if the one who is receiving the criticism accepts it, or can learn from it, or if others can learn from it. Academic criticism is essential to scholars and students. Political and social criticism is essential to all free societies. If what we do causes someone to criticize us; then we know we have succeeded in getting someone’s attention.

Criticism must not be confused with praise or condemnation. These are not neutral. To condemn someone’s words or actions, is a moral and ethical judgment. To praise someone is also a moral and ethical judgement. Everyone loves to be praised. Everyone hates to be condemned. I never resent being criticized, because I constantly am being criticized. This is only fair and rational, if I criticize as well. To take every criticism one receives personally, would make a person completely disfunctional. To avoid any criticism someone would have to live without any source of communication ; even with themselves. To criticize is a normal intellectual function used to discern our likes from our dislikes. Since when is criticizing someone, or something, wrong ? What would a parent, spouse , teacher, or employer , or anyone do, if they could not criticize? For anyone who may wonder if I am criticizing someone, or condemning them , or praising someone; when I write about them in a derogatory or approving way, let me clarify my motives. When I make a critical statement, I am honestly trying to present a truthful evaluation, opinion, or comment, as a forceful critique, of character, content, or condition; that I feel must be stated. I fully understand that I will be subjected to criticism for stating it. Stating a criticism is much like swimming. Swimming takes focus, strength and selfconfidence, and no one can swim successfully without creating a splash.

“MEN ATTRACT NOT WHAT THEY WANT, BUT WHAT THEY ARE.”

“MEN ATTRACT NOT WHAT THEY WANT, BUT WHAT THEY ARE.”
10/14/07

I was cleaning off my desk recently filing and getting rid of a hundred collected phone numbers, web sites, book titles, articles, bank receipts and grocery receipts, etc.etc.. While sensing a brief relief of a semblence of organization, I suddenly came across a statement I copied down on a yellow “Sticky Note”, I found attached to the back side of a scribbled on, old paycheck envelope.

The note was a quote from an essay I had read on the air several months ago. “As A Man Thinkth” The note is the title of this essay. “Men attract not what they want , but what they are.” After reading this quote , I remembered the book , and why I wrote down this statement. I looked around my office at all the stuff I had collected over many years. Files, tapes,equipment, music, instruments, paintings, furniture, clothing, computer, shoes,books, etc., and I tried to understand from all of these things who I was. If the statement is true, that who we are attracts what we have; then I felt it was imperitive to consider what I was attracting..

I realized very quickly that who I was was a very disorganized person, with many interests. I realized without too much consideration; that if what I have collected, (or was attracted to me) was of interest to me at one time or another and still is, I must be as ecclectic and eccentric as a Madhatter. ( I do have several seasonal hats that I like to wear, that are hanging in my office closet.)

As I thought about what I’ve collected over the years, I noticed some were featured prominently on my walls and on my desk. Some were tucked away in files or a closet, and others were thrown away because they were irrepairably broken. I’m not really a collector of valuable antics or sentimental memorablia, I am more of an immediist, ( I just made up that word). An immediist is someone who collects things to be immediately used, and possibly be used again. Once these things have served their purpose, and I feel I will never used them again, I throw them away, or give it away to someone who might want it .

“Men attract not what they want, but what they are.” Maybe this statement doesn’t make as much sense as I thought it did , when I first read it. I want a lot of things. But many of them I know I can’t have , or shouldn’t have. I’d like a 22 carot gold Royles Royce, but I can’t for the life of me think of when I’d use it, or what I would want it for. Maybe likes are not wants. I know that wants are not needs. I’d like to be invited to the Oscar ceremony, but I know I’d feel uncomfortable; even if I was receiving an award. I would prefer to do a video presentation acceptence, instead of a live acceptence speech. I don’t think I really have to worry about that . What I do worry about is, why I don’t have all I really want, and feel that I need. If I am attracting what I am, instead of what I want, then how can I change who I am to attract what I really want ? I think that is a fair question to ask. Unfortunately the book “As a Man Thinkth” was written in 1620, by a man who no one knows if he ever got all he ever wanted, or if he was like most people , and was just thinking about what he wanted ? It’s a valid question, however not one that can ever be adequately answered. Many great thinkers have died in poverty, or were never accepted in their own times, and their works were discovered posthumously. Regardless of the validity of the statement,”Men attract not what they want , but what they are.” I obviously attracted that statement to myself, and have used it for this essay. What it reveals of my character I do not know, and I do not know why I really wanted the statement attached to an old paycheck envelope . Now that it is attracted to me,I must decide to discard it, along with old grocery receipts, and useless scribbles, or file it away to use at another time.

BEGINNING WHERE WE LEFT OFF

BEGINNING WHERE WE LEFT OFF
10/12/07

New beginnings are the results of leaving something behind. When I begin a new project, or a new avenue of thought that I hope will transform my life in some positive way , I always begin where I last ended. Whatever my last thought was before I begin a new beginning , is the thought that seems to have carried me through the threshold of a new discovery. It doesn’t have to be a profound thought, nor does it have to be divinely inspired; instead it is a progression of a thought or thoughts, that culminate into a significant action.

My father once stated to me; that he didn’t like to forecast or announce what his plans for the future were . He said; that when he was in his twenties he had told many people that he was going to do many great things with his life. When they didn’t happen, he was very embarassed. He learned that keeping his private ambitions to himself prevented further embarassment, and prevented false hopes in others. I took his advice to heart and seldom told anyone of my ambitions. What I did was carry out my plans quietly,until they came to fruition. My friends and family said they never understood what I was thinking. They seemed convinced that since I never spoke of my ambitions, I didn’t have any. My father did understand, but would often wonder what my ambitions were. When he questioned me about them, I would remind him of what he said to me about keeping my great ambitions quiet until I achieved them. He would laugh and say, “That’s all well and good, but sooner or later your big ideas have to produce something.”

My father passed away 17 years ago. I had achieved success before he died, and he was satisfied; that my ambitions materialized and I was successful in my own business. Luck and hardwork, produced my success, but it didn’t really produce happiness. It didn’t produce what I was truely seeking. What I was seeking was an outlet to communicate, and establish my self confidence and success, in any and all areas I wished to pursue. My father was a cautious man, perhaps too cautious, and he would warn me that I might be pushing too hard, or reaching too far. In hindsight he was right. I was reaching too far, and pushing to hard, believing in an expediant career and in people; that would eventually seriously disappoint me. My unexpected fate however, led me to the threshold of a new beginnng.

I am opposed to blaming anyone for my disappointments. I’ve had enough time to think about them and I only blame myself. I was blindly ambitious, foolish, and vain, neglectful of others feelings, and dangerously indifferent to the ambitions of others. My goals always came first to me. I ignored the goals of others closest to me, believing that if I achieved my own , then theirs would be achieved as well. I candidly believed they would share in my success, and be happy. How conceited I was. How foolish I was to believe; that what I wanted was everything, and all sacrifices I made to achieve it were valid and rational excuses to continue to pursue my ambitions. My niavity cost me dearly, and my life changed significantly; since my father last congratulated me on my achievements. If I had followed my true desire, as I am now , I wouldn’t have pushed myself into an expedient career, or got caught up in empty obsessions , of acquiring more money, more power, and more material possessions. I now understand the cost of not being true to myself. I ignored the warning signs of eminent dangers. I ignored who I was, and who I had become, to acquire something that I could never own. All I sought was merely an illusion, a fantasy, a mirage , and desparate dream. I denied my talent, true hunger, and thirst, for the poor substitute of a salesman’s prepackaged, well marketed, illusion of success.

It is difficult to begin a new beginning. It takes great thought , courage and conviction. It also takes the abandonment of the past, and an embracing of the present, and understanding that the past no longer exists, if it ever did. The past is as an illusion, remembered differently by all who were a part of the memories. The past is like a thunder cloud heard in the distance . It soon disipates. It’s rain, and wind, and lightening flashes, are memories once they pass. The destruction and losses it may cause are left as part of a new day; that must be abandoned, or made new. Somethings are not worth remaking, others are . It is up to the individual who has suffered the effects of the storm, to decide what to do. I have abandoned many memories and remade others. I am alive and healthy, and appreciate my blessings. I have begun a new beginning, and strive to be happy, and honest with myself every moment that I exist. I consider the needs of others. I consider the condition of the world around me. I consider the sorrows,sacrifices, hardships and cruelties, everyone in the world endures. But I am more concerned with the joy , happiness, love, and hope that exists in the world, and I strive to create more of these. Everyone creates themselves each moment they exist. We create images of an ellusive past, or illusions of a distant future. What so many of us fail to understand, is that we are our own creation, and we only exist in the present.

EVERYONE A PROPHET

EVERYONE A PROPHET
10/10/07

I believe everyone is a prophet. Everyone has the ability to foresee the future. We are all the future , past and present. We have experienced all three . The future is each second we have not lived, the past is each second we have lived, the present is now. The present is timeless. It has no definition or space, it is infinite, the present is always changing. Prophecy is the understanding of what we may do in the future. I plan to live through today , sleep at night and wake again in the morning. If this comes true then I have predicted my future correctly. Whatever else happens to me during the day is a direct result of my present actions.

Predictions can be made of the weather, financial outlooks, political election outcomes, end of the world senarios, men and women make predictions every day of their lives, but seldom predict the future events accurately. Our hopes and dreams are based on our predictions. Wishing on a star, or on a magic crystal, are as plausable modes of prediction as weather forecasting. Half of all weather predictions are inaccurate. Every prediction has a 50/50 chance of coming true. Flipping a two sided coin heads or tails is a 50/50 chance. All major biblical or secular predictions have the same chance of coming true . It is the persistent thought and action behind them that cause them to manifest into reality. I can predict now if I will write many more words before I end this essay. Or I can predict a shorter version of it, depending on my mood and inspiration. Whatever I do is a prediction of the future, whatever happens is the outcome of my prediction. Am I prophetic to believe this ? Maybe. Am I a prophet to say I intend to go to bed tonight at a certain time and rise tomorrow morning at a certain time? Unless I die in the meantime , I can expect that my prophecy will come true. Prophecy is essentially what someone believes will happen. Most prophecies are self fullfilling, but on occasion some prophecies capture the imagination of entire civilizations, and become a significant reason for the advancement or decline of that civilization. However massive religious and political indoctrinations of a population, over many generations, ensure these prophecies will take root in the general population. End Time prophecy is a diabolical vehicle to suppress the world populations with fear and uncertainy, and to rob the individual of his natural right of self determination. Creating fear of the end of the world, and final judgement, by drug induced and delirious statements made in an ancient text, of undeciferable hyroglyphics, or lost languages of ancient tribes, is the most absurd stretch of the human imagination.

Believing in an End Time prophecy is always tempting to those who are unhappy in their lives. Those who are very happy in their lives do not want an End Time to shorten their happiness on Earth. Neither do they want to think about End Times, and they try to avert having such thoughts. Living now and enjoying now , is the greatest thought to possess. If tomorrow changes our circumstances ; then we must be willing to adapt to those changing circumstances. This is prophecy based on probability.

Only if we live in the now, can we ever hope to adjust to our future or accept the failures of our past. Living now is the key to all prophecy. Only in this infinite moment of now, does divinity reveal itself to us, whereby we become prophets, knowing the universal mind , and understanding the boundlessness of eternity. All fear and doubt leave us in that moment, as clarity prevails. Then the doorway to our future opens and we enter.

Dreams are prophetic ,unconsious, moments in infinity. When we sleep or day dream, we are mentally travelling into infinity. A place were all is possible, all is achievable , all is prophecy. Dream is the stuff of prophecy. Words and thoughts are simply the output of Ego in a consious attempt to define divinity. Unconsious dreams are void of Ego, and carry the message of divine hope, insight, inspiration, and needed rest.

The human mind and body are machines, designed to survive the earth’s atomosphere, and receive continual, universal, inspiration. Our minds and bodies completely understand the now, and operate within it. Great Prophets are esteemed by mankind because they have shown the way to living in the now. They have tried to remedy all the ills that existed in the now when they were alive. Each moment of our existence is for us to operate at maximum awareness of the present. Thoughts of the past or future are alien thoughts; that distract and confuse us from focusing on the infinite present.

RUNNING WITH THE HERD

RUNNING WITH THE HERD
10/08/07

This weekend at the Chicago Marathon 250 runners were treated for heat exhaustion and one runner died. There were many thousands of runners, all running a 26.6 mile race, in excessive heat. Why? Only their psychiatrists and therapists know for sure.

I am not a runner. Never have been. I never craved the endorphine rush running is supposed to give . I never craved the need to push my body to the level of physical pain and death to run anywhere. If I can’t get somewhere by walking, or riding, or flying, I really have no desire to go there. I’m not sure why anyone would? Maybe their is something primal about running with a herd? Maybe all runners are reincarnated antelope, or buffalo or cows or elephants or some other herding animal? Maybe they are reincarnated fish who need to run in schools? Maybe all of these mammals,and fish have reincarnated into humans and are evolving their higher intelligence, and feel the instinctual need to run with a herd or swim in a school ?

As an example of mindless herd runners, we should look carefully at members of political parties. Anyone who identifies with a political party, and supports the herd’s choice for their leader, needs the herd mentality because they can not think for themselves. Thinking for oneself is a painful process many people try to avoid. Thinking about politics with a group of like minded thinkers is fun and immediately gratifying. Perhaps that is why they are called polititcal parties? In these parties, everyone strives to move in the same direction and choose leaders who soothe their feathers, pat their heads or shake their hands. These party leaders promise to bring the herd to better watering holes or greener pastures. Political debates and primaries are the human way for herd leaders to fight for leadership. Political primaries and rituals, are as primal as any primitive tribal dance, or instinctual characteristics of herding groups of animals.

It’s easy to visual G.W Bush as a mangy,sqrawny,silly looking,wolf or hyiena, huffing and puffing his way in a pack, or as a chimpanze screaming threats to a group of chimpanzes, or as a snarling baboon, proudly displaying his bald, red, ass, as he challenges and threatens other baboons. It’s easy to visualize Hillary Clinton at the front of a herd of milking cows, with a big bell (Bill) around her neck, leading all the cows from the grazing pasture to the milking barn. It’s very easy to see Rush Limbaugh as a long horn bull rounding up his herd of longhorn steers, into the corral of political conservatism . Church leaders aptly call their congregrations flocks. These sheperds lead there flocks to the sheering or milking barns, or to the stock yards , and eventually to the slaughter house. If I had to be thought of as a leader of some group or political party, I would want to be seen as a wild stallion leading a wild herd of mustangs. These mustangs would be able to run at great speeds with outstanding endurance, and with an indominable, will to be free. The leader’s job would be to inspire the herd, and keep wolves and other predators away .

Running a marathon or leading a herd, are not the smartest things someone can do. Especially if they kill themselves trying. Those who die, or become seriously injured, tryng to prove their strength and endurance look like idiots; who pushed themselves too far, or pushed someone else too far. Runners like these should never be in races to begin with. They take the fun out it for everyone. Marathon winners are unique individuals. The last thing they want is to lead a herd, they simply want to win the race. This is what they do best. This is what they need to do. People die in marathon races all the time. They also fall down from exhaustion and suffer injuries. Only the very best trained runners win, or even finish marathons. I could never be a marathon runner, I see myself more as a marathon walker. I am committed to walking , but not to running. I am committed to seeking a certain level of endurance, but not to exceed it beyond enjoyment. I am committed to living through, and enjoying my marathon walk, without injury, or sudden death. My marathon walk is my life, it’s difficult enough as a single challenge, yet I believe it should not be so difficult ; that I must give it up. If I am ever forced to stop , I will gladly rest before I reach total exhaustion. I would then consider the remainder of my walk, and either change it’s pace, or alter my planned destination for one more easily accessable. I always strive to seek common sense. I don’t want to suffer a heart attack, or a crippling injury, to try and prove something to myself or anyone else. I know what I want to achieve. I know when I’m pushing myself to hard to get it. I know when I need to slow down, and when I need to stop.

IN THE QUAKE OF A SUDDEN DECISION

IN THE QUAKE OF A SUDDEN DECISION
10/04/07

Very often the circumstances occur when I am forced to make a sudden decision that might be life changing. It happened to me recently when I was offered an “unusual” opportunity. As I persue my normal course, and career, opportunities will often present themselves ; that may change my life . If I accept an opportunity, or reject it, either decision creates an emotional and intellectual quake of sizemic proportions in my emotional equalibrium. It upsets my natural balance. It either throws me into a frenzy of thoughts of fear , fear of the unknown, fear of the past, fear of the future, or fear of failure ,or if it feels right to me to accept it I become uplifted with positive thoughts and hope. Having had much experience with these sudden upheavels of emotions, I tend to ignore and disallow the swing of emotional tides , when opportunities first present themselves.

I have come to accept fear as a beneficial emotion. It creates in me an urgency to act upon something. It disturbs my complacency and polarizes my thought process, to the extent that what seemed impossible at one time , suddenly appears as a possibility. Fight or Flight are my first reactions. I have too often chosen to fight, instead of choosing the more reasonable course of flight. I believe most people choose to fight off their fears; rather than run from them. Running from fear simply delays it’s inevitable effects. The problem with running away from fear is that if I am temporarily successful at escaping it , I may miss the opportunity that it initially presented . If I had stood my emotional ground, and weighed the logical results , then prepared a defensive and offensive plan to fight and overcome the fear, I would have been far more successful in making the proper choices, when confronted by the need to make sudden decisions.

There are many instances when Flight is the best choice; when our life is threatened by an unbeatable natural force, or our career is theatened by a merger, or closing of a company, or when a devastating, unexplainable, tragedy affects our lives. In these instances we often have advanced warning, to make the necessary arrangements to flee the impending danger or stand our ground and resist it. But too often opportunities, or sudden dangers appear without warning. There is no time to prepare , only to react immediately. At that instant of recognition of danger or opportunity, what we intuitively feel, is the right response . If we are driving on a road or highway, and see an accident ahead of us, we immediately put on our brakes or turn our vehicle to avoid a collision. If we hesitate too long , or ignore our intuitive initial response , we may crash , or cause a worse situation.

Opportunities often presents themselves; that may enhance my life, or bring a needed solution to solve a problem I am engaged in. I have often ignored my initial, intuitive response, and rationalized my acceptance of an opportunity; even though I felt it may not deliver the best solution to my problem, and may be only a temporary fix. I have taken this shortcut many times before, and found if I had waited a little longer to make my decision the right opportunity would have presented itself. I am convinced , that when opportunities present themselves to me , I intuitively know if they are right and proper to persue. However, the fear of missing an opportunity to appease my abused vanity, or increase my income , or enhance my career, are extremely powerful incentives. They have caused me to ignore my initial, intuitive responses, that told me to wait for better opportunities to present themselves. This impulsiveness in my decision making, has created many unwanted results.

I have decided to allow this ‘unusual’ opportunity I am considering , to re- present itself in a more beneficial way. Intuitively I believe I have responded correctly to it. As my life proceeds on it’s unchartered course, I know that many opportunities will arise unexpectedly. That is the fun in life. The unexpected opportunities are similar to the “Chance”or “Community Chest” cards in a Monopoly game. How we respond to the opportunities presented to us, will determine the outcome of the game. Fortunes can be changed as quickly and randomly as the results from a throw of the dice, or the pick of a card. We can choose to throw the dice, and continue the game, or allow our fear of failure, or the unknown, to make us withdraw from the game. A wise player counts his winnings, and losses, and trusts his intuition; before he makes the decision to take a chance, on a gamble he might lose. I have never gone wrong when I trusted my intuition. I have gone wrong when I didn’t.

INVISIBLE FRIENDS

INVISIBLE FRIENDS
10/03/07

Often I sense the presense of someone else with me. It’s not an odd sensation, but rather a welcomed one. I now feel a remote thought occuring to me, that wasn’t from my own intention. It is not dangerous, or euphoric, it is merely a suggestion, or an instruction, a thought of needed advice.

I have been a student of metaphysics for many years. I became very curious in the subject, several years after I first encountered the presense of an invisible entity. I was five or six years old when it first made it’s presense known. I felt the entity needed a name, for me to identify him. I could sense it was a male entity, and I called him Charlie. Charlie often spoke to me, and I would speak to him. My parents thought it was a strange behavior , however they knew imaginary friends are a part of an imaginative childhood, and an aid in creating self awareness. I often blamed Charlie for things I didn’t want to be blamed for; even if I was the cause of them. My brothers and sister also had imaginary friends. One brother had an imaginary dog, he would walk with on an imaginary leash. My sister had an imaginary friend she would have tea parties with , or tell her secrets to. Our invisible friends never fought with me or my brother and sister, neither did they quarrel with each other. Our invisible friends always seemed to try to deter my brother and sister, and myself away from fighting with each other. I could tell Charlie all my troubles. He understood how I hated it when my sister bossed me around, or when I was being punished for something, and wasn’t allowed to go outside to play.

Though most children grow out of this phase , I never did. I am admitting it. I always felt, if Charlie wanted to stay my best friend, their was no reason he shouldn’t be. As I grew older he became more of a secret friend, and I highly valued his friendship . I became very close to him as he became close to me. I trusted his guidence and calm approach to life. I trusted his reassurances, and his advice. In later years as I married and established a career, and pursued my education, I was always able to count on Charlie’s good advice and guidence. Charlie grew up with me. He is the same age as I am, born on the same day, at the same time, at the same place. We share the same experiences, and friends. We share the same thoughts.

Now as a mature adult and having read and researched this invisible friend phenomena, I am very comfortable with the idea of having an invisible friend. I have found that many, well adjusted, people have invisible friends, some have called them angels, others have called them spirit guides, and others simply acknowledge their presense as a beneficial force in their lives. Others consider their invisible friends as interdementional beings, they share a reality and complex universe with.

It is absurd in the twenty first century , to deny the presense of interdementional realities. Science has proven and theorized the existence of physical , universal and invisible forces that influence human consiousness. Legends and myths, religions and rituals, are an intrical part of Human existence, noted by civilizations through out recorded history. To deny the existence of supernatural powers , either in a pagan, science, or religious concept, has always been considered by those of higher intellect; as small minded, or closed minded , and foolish. There is too much historic, archeological and scientific evidence that validates the existence and previous existence of human understanding, and belief in supernatural guidence . Few humans will or can deny their own valid history or experiences. Wars and martyrdom have been, and still are, based on the beliefs of cultures and civilizations in an invisible entity, believed to have created the universe , or who’s words, teachings , physical reincarnation and resurrection are described in sacred texts, and considered by billions of people to be divine and indisputable evidence of supernatural entities influencing the development of humanity.

As I considered how to bring this concept of invisible friends and guides to my readers, I remembered my earliest memories of Charlie, my invisible friend. I believe Charlie is leading me to this conclusion. He always works at the same time I do. He is far more insightful than I am. He has opened the spirit world to my understanding and trust, and has never disappointed me. He has always worked harder than I have to bring new insight of the universe to me. He has always brought order to my daily thoughts , allowing them to be less rambling, more coherent, more focused. I believe everyone should have a friend like Charlie. I believe that eveyone does. Our invisible friends only leave us if we ask them to , or if we ignore them. They are no different than our visible friends in that sense. If we ignore them , they will ignore us. If we ask them to go away they do. But what is different with invisible friends as opposed to visible friends is ; if we want our invisible friends to come back to us, at anytime, they will.

In honor and recognition of my invisible friend Charlie, I am introducing him to my readers. I can not provide any physical proof to anyone, that he really exists. I can only ask all who believe me, to also believe, Charlie does exist. Charlie has never asked me to introduce him . He has always preferred to remain anonymous; this is the way of invisible friends. Today he wishes to speak for himself.

“Listen to silence. Through silence your truest friend speaks to you.”

SEEING OTHER REALITIES

SEEING OTHER REALITIES
10/2/07

“To see the realities of others we must drop the illusion of separateness. Realities larger and smaller than our own can be accessed at will.” (Quoted from a forgotten source.)

The Universe is made up of infinite realities. We can access all, or one at anytime. For instance I exist within my own reality as does everyone in theirs. Each of us is able to create, or enter into a reality of our chosing. At this moment I am creating a reality for others to join me in. Each thought creates a letter, each letter joins with another to create a word. Each word joins another word, or grouping of words to create a sentence. Each sentence (hopefully) joins together to create a readable paragraph. Thoughts create realities, and awareness of these thoughts by others, creates the gateways to enter those realities.

Everything that has manifested into a physical reality was once a thought; that was focused upon and utiltized, and brought from infinity into the physical realm. This is what we do every waking minute of our lives. We think of something, then we act on that thought to make it materialize. I am performing magic this instant; as I write these words, and the words that will follow this sentence. I am cruising infinity at this moment, seeking awareness of thoughts; that I wish to manifest into reality. Each and every thought I have, may not manifest itself in a word or phrase, it might manifest itself in a movement of my leg, or arm, or fingers , etc.

As I consider what reality I want to further travel in today I direct my mind to grasp only the highest and best possible thoughts to be manifested into my physical reality. As I direct my mind toward this purpose, I see happiness, I sense peace, pleasure, joy and success in all things. I hear and see that fleeting whisper of infinite inspiration . It’s vibration creates a desire within me, to act upon and co create the physical manifestation of that inspiration.

Love is the highest and best thought one can gather from infinity. Love is as spacious and timeless as eternity. Infinite bliss is eternal Love. If I grasp the awareness of Infinite Love; then I can expand it’s essense within my imagination.

I have tried to capture Infinite Love today. I have cruised infinity and sought the greatest thoughts, to be discovered on the eternal highway of consiousness. I caught a glimse of infinity, but not it’s entirety. It’s entirety can never be seen, nor it’s end ever reached. Infinity is ever evolving , spinning and exploding. It was deliberately created as chaos, and placed in existence to be organized by the ascending consiousness of evolving beings. Infinity was purposefully created without physical or spiritual boundaries. Each human being , is specifically designed by it’s creator, to become a co creator in infinity. Once Mankind’s consiousness is fully ascended, it will comprehend the infinite, and our immortal destiny to co create eternity with our creator.

TAPPING INTO UNIVERSIAL CONSIOUSNESS

TAPPING INTO UNIVERSIAL CONSIOUSNESS
9/28/07

There are moments in our lives when we tune into the universal mind. Those moments may be very brief or in some instances much longer and more sustained. I am reminded of one of the world’s poetic masterpieces, S.T. Coleridge’s ” Kubla Khan”, and the poet’s vision of the Pleasure Dome. He stated after writing the masterpiece; that the poem appeared to him during a three hour sleep. During those hours of unconsiousness, he visualized the entire poem. He saw over three hundred lines and when he woke , he immediately began to write them down. As he continued writing he was interrupted by an important business meeting he had to attend, and thought he would be able to complete the poem when he returned. Upon his return he could only write a few more lines, all else was forgotten and lost, however what he did write down was all that remained of his vision, and it became a masterpiece in English poetry.

Many of the greatest composers admitted; that their musical ideas were not their own, but visions brought before them by their tapping into the universal mind. The composer Richard Wagner stated; that his works were divinely inspired. In his great work, Rheingold, he stated to Arthur M. Abell; who wrote of his interview with Wagner in his journal, and later published “Talks With Great Composers.” In Rheingold the first inspiration for the composition came to Wagner while he was lying in bed. He told Abell; that he was inspired to imagine himself lying beneath the flowing waters of the Rhine as the water rushed over him, and translated that sensation and sound into music. Wagner was certain that the greatest works he created were all from his ability to tap into the divine, universal consiousness. He believed that all we are is based upon a vibration of this divine thought, and all great works of art are inspired and driven by this force. Wagner stated that his greatest understanding of this came from Shakespeare, and quoted the specific statement in the fifth act, first scene, of Midsummer Night’s Dream. [The poet’s eye in a fine frenzy rolling, doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven; and as imagination bodies forth the forms of things unknown, the poet’s pen turns them to shapes, and gives to airy nothing a local habitation and a name. Such tricks hath strong imagination.] (Reference source: “Talks With Great Composers” by Arthur M. Abell)

What sparked my essay today on universal consiousness, is the recent studies I have been involved with for most of this year. Much of what I have studied I have discussed on my Friday night internet shows with researcher and lecturer, George Dickson, and renowned psychic Maria Fix Algeri. I suggest going to these programs that are available in my program archives, listed on my host page for a clearer understanding of the range of metaphysical topics we have discussed. (Click on Friday night with George Dickson or Listen Live at the top of this page . It will take you to my radio show host page. There you can scroll down and see the archives listed by the month and year.)

I have recently been filming a new television series entitled “Poet’s From The Mist.” I began my two, first, half hour, segments with the works of Lord Byron, and Percy Bysshe Shelley. I chose to begin this series with these two poets; because of their uniqueness and close friendship at one of the most revolutionary periods in world history.This was a period when the spirit of Liberalism enflamed the world and created a rise of revolutionary spirit, that changed the world forever. This spirit of revolution cast off the yokes of Divine Rights and aristocratic orthodoxy. The concepts of Divine Rights and nobility , preserved and protected for milenia, by the power of rulers and religions were challenged by the ideas of atheism, and democracy and the rising influences of Islamic and Eastern religions and philosophies. Political uprisings throughout Europe demanded constitutional governments, and greater individual freedoms. These political and religious revolutions inspired poets , composers, artists, scientists, and philosophers, to view the world as a place where violent change was sweeping the minds and souls of man and changing human history. Many of the greatest of these revolutionary artists and philosophers captured the universal spirit, and took active part in these revolutions, and wrote of their experiences to the world. They drew upon the popularity and greatness of past legends and heros and humanized them so their heroism could be identified with and recognized by the most humble and oppressed persons. Their work inspired millions to cast off their chains of slavery to ruthless societies, and systems of government. It was a period of ascension of the human consiousness, unlike anytime in the history of civilization. Mankind began to understand his place in the world, his connection to nature and the universe, and his kinship and moral responsibilty to his fellow man. This sweeping change was translated boldly and beautifully by the great poets,artists, composers, philosophers and writers of this period. There works made millions of individuals aware of their own sovereign status as human beings; who had human rights and dignities divine in origin, granted to everyone at birth. Millions of individuals had become educated, and aware of their own divine right to challenge any person, or institution, that sought to oppress them.

The ideas that were once censored by societies were now released upon the world in books , music, art , and political speeches. Challenges to the known authorities of church, state, and aristocratic landowners, were no longer forbidden, but encouraged. Conformity to culture, traditions, and fear of public displays of vocal political criticsm, no longer shackled polite society, and those who insisted on cultural censorship or tradition were considered unenlightened and oppressive , or foolish and worthy of ridicule, and must be openly challenged . Democratic idealism boldly clashed and challenged all arcane arguments defending aristocratic priviledges, or divine rights of kings and queens.

The works of these great artists, poets, composers, scientists, and philosophers, of this era are some of the most profound works ever created in human history, and have achieved immortal status by their creation in the universal consiousness. In researching and presenting the works of the greatest poets of this era, I have discovered that they have openly credited universal consiousness and divine inspiration as the source of their inspiration. The works of these poets have been deliberately ignored, or carelessly discarded as irrelevant by many. It is the way of this modern world , but these great works have been preserved because of their own merit. I hope my new series will serve to bring these great poets out from the mist of forgotten time, and into the light of this new century, to be appreciated by a new audience.
It is my intention to present this series on this web site soon in a permanent video and audio display.

AMADINEJAD IS “THE MAN”

AMADINEJAD IS “THE MAN”
9/24/07

I’m writing this on the morning of 9/24/07, before hearing the U.N address and the speech to be presented at Columbia University today by Mr.Amadinejad the President of Iran. I don’t believe my opinion of Mr. Amadinejad will change after hearing his presentations today however, whatever my opinions of today’s events are I will write about my reactions to his presentations tomorrow here on this site, and read them on my radio show tomorrow night.

The outrage heard around America towards Mr. Amadinejad is not by the non Jewish / non Zionist / non fundamentalist segments of our society. The Jewish and Zionist population in the United States are frightened at any possiblity of any truth, that might be stated by Mr. Amadinejad.(I do believe the Holocaust occured and am not denying it happened,nor am I diminishing the loss and suffering of the Jewish people however, it should be stated for accuracy,that millions of other non Jews were murdered by the Nazis as well as 21 million Russians were murdered by Hitler’s and Stalin’s orders.) Recently several radical leaders of the Israeli parliment were invited to the White House,and given special access to Congress. These Israelis one in particular a Mr. Lieberman, ( not Joe Lieberman ) had stated publicly in parliment, and his statement was reported world wide, that all 13 year old Palestinian males should be killed. No one stopped him from meeting with our Congress and President. There was no outrage by American religious leaders, or University students. Why I must ask? The answer is quite obvious. Israelis don’t have any oil, and the Israelis genocide of the Palestinian people is authorized by the U.S government, and covertly agreed to by the U.N and Globalist interests, and ignored by the majority of people in the U.S and other countries. Also every fundamentalist in the U.S and around the world is urging this conflict with Iran and Israel believing it is an End Time prophecy. They believe anything that will bring about the biblical prophecy of the destruction of Israel is the fullfillment of the Word of God . They also believe that by supporting the suicidal,Israeli madness and their totalitarian, Zionist, Marxist, state of Israel, and the genocide of the Palestinians,and the innihilation of all the Muslim world is their divinely inspired mission. That is why G.W Bush and Christian and Jewish religious leaders are so opposed and frightened by Mr. Amadinejad. He threatens to expose G.W Bush’s corrupt ambitions, and unmask the insanity of the fundamentalist’s who support him, which would cast doubt on their belief in anticipating their sudden prophetic rapture into Heaven. I’m not making any of this up. It has all been written about and reported for thousands of years. It has been reported by hundreds of thousands of newspaper articles, books,and blogs just in the last two years. I have read far too many,to begin to reference them in this article.

I admire the courage of Mr. Amadinejad for his willingness to face his opponents in America. He is standing up for his people and his country. He is denouncing the blatant hypocrisy that is the Israeli government and the G.W Bush Administration. He is warning the world that if we believe the falsehoods of these governments perpetrated against the Arab world,then we can expect that Iran will not back down to us. Any country who has been as threatened as Iran has throughout it’s history, should expect it’s leaders to stand up for their right in the global community, and declare their opposition to all intimidations and threats made against them by the billigerent countries of the U.S and Israel.

Amadinejad’s statements of Israel being wiped off the map, was reported by the western and Israelis media as a deliberate mistranslation. This has been stated in countless reports by the Arab and independent media, however totally disregarded by the U.S mainstream media. It is an outrage and an insult to anyone in the world, that such media censorship and propaganda is allowed in the United States. We have no free press only propaganda papers, and putrid pundits paid for by the Government and the Military Industrial Complex and sponsors of Globalist ambitions of world domination. All U.S mainstream news reports distort all truth to the public, and deflect all honest debate on the real issues. As long as Fundamentalists, Zionists, Fascists, Globalists,and Militarists are controlling our media and government, we can never expect to hear,or see the truth from the mainsteam media, or any blogger and news outlet supported by them.

So tune in tomorrow for my comment on the turbulent arrival and presentations of Mr. Armadinejad. I would be interested to hear anyone elses comments on the issue; unless you are a Zionist, a Zionist supporter, Fundamentalist of any religious sect, Member of the Jewish Lobby or Anti Defamation League member, or affiliated with the mainsteam media.

I’M NOT WHO I THINK I AM YET

I’M NOT WHO I THINK I AM YET
9/23/07

Everyone knows they are someone , but few ever know who that someone really is. Great masters have achieved self understanding , though self abandonment. Self abandonment is the casting off of all non essential earthly influences, to achieve the understanding of our core selves. Self abandonment is the most difficult state for the human mind to achieve.

I have had many visions of myself over my many years of conscious, earthly, existence. When I was a child I dreamt of being a cowboy, a warrior, a teacher, an adult, a singer , a dancer, and artist, an actor, a writer, a musician, an orchestra director, a vantriloquist and a race car driver. I am certain I’ve forgotten many more childhood visions of myself. Some of these visions lasted into my adulthood, others faded away as quickly as they came.

Being imaginative I have always had visions of one thing or another, that I might want to do or be. When I concentrate hard enough on a vision I will gather information and experiences to better define my goal. Occasionally I am forced to realize that the efforts of becoming something I have invisioned,are either beyond my talents or physical abilities to achieve. I then revise my goals, or abandon any further attempts at achieving them,and move on to another better suited to my abilities and truest interest.

Everyone does this to a certain extent. Few however go far enough in their honest commitment to self abandonment to persue lofty goals. Many of us are persuaded at a young age;that we are not smart enough or fast enough, or good looking enough to be more than we are, or more than our parents are. “You are average,” was a statement I heard time and again from every adult I’d ever encountered as a child. I knew I was not average, because I refused to accept the definition of average, as it related to my ambitions and ideas. I knew what I thought was different than most people. What I read, what I watched, the music I listened to were all different than most of the people around me. I was considered an outspoken student, in every school I attended . I always remained quiet in a classroom or social settings; until I was called upon to answer a question, or give my opinion on something. I often answered questions with questions. This frustrated my teachers and my parents, however I would persist with asking questions; until I got the answers I needed to satisfy me. I could never accept what I was told on face value. Too much didn’t make sense to me. Simple things and complex issues were never explained to my satisfaction. Like why couldn’t I go outside and play? Why couldn’t I have more ice cream.? Why does God live in Heaven? Where is Heaven? Where is Hell ? Why do I have to learn Algebra? Why did George Washington cut down a cherry tree? Why did I have to take a round piece of bread in my mouth and kneel at an altar? Why did I have to tell all my sins to someone I didn’t know? What are sins? Why are they sins? Who said they were sins? Why did I have to listen to stuff I didn’t have any interest in? Why did I have to spend time running around a gym fifty times, when I got tired after running around a gym ten times? Why did I have to listen to someone yell at me; because I was too slow, or too fast, or I asked too many questions? I gave up listening to people who didn’t make any sense, and focused on only those who did make sense to me. Everyone wanted to tell me I couldn’t do something I wanted to do, or that certain things couldn’t be done. What was the sense of listening to them? It was like trying make sense of what G.W Bush is talking about, in any of his press conferences or speeches.

Knowing myself was perhaps the most difficult task I encountered as I grew up. It was my most pressing issue. I was an avid reader of history. I majored in History in college. Reading about great people and their accomplishments encouraged me to seek great ideas, and look at the world, and my own reality from a different perspective. I was most encouraged as a teenager, when I discovered in a biography about Albert Einstein; that his parents and early teachers thought he was extremely slow, and possibly mentally retarded. As it turned out Einstein was a consumate day dreamer, and his school classes bored him so badly he would ignore his teachers. At the age of 28 he had developed his Theory of Relativity, and was exalted by the world’s academic community, as one of the greatest thinkers and physicists in the world.

If Einstein had paid any attention to those who called him slow or retarded, he would have never become who he became. I understood after reading this biography; that if I paid attention to what other people said about me, I would never achieve anything more than they expected of me, which was very little ; other than to be quiet, stand up, sit down, eat, drink, sleep and go to school, do my homework, take out the garbage, etc.etc. etc.

Mastering self abandonment is difficult only because the reality we grow up in is designed to diminish greatness in individuals. Conformity is the high goal of most societies. Only those who can invision their reality beyond the clouds of the controlled confusion of authority will ever break out of the mundane existences predetermined for us. Self abandonment means to abandon all that is holding us back from achieving the highest goals we can imagine. Self abandonment is the ascension of ourselves to a higher consciousness, void of all criticism, controls, or mindless restrictions , designed and enforced by mindless people and their mindless institutions. Self abandonment frees the individual to become anything one desires to be, and everything one was meant to be. It allows everyone to manifest their greatest ambitions, through the discovery of their truest selves.

‘911 RUDY” SWAPS DRESSES WITH THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND

‘911 RUDY” SWAPS DRESSES WITH THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND
9/22/07

I know for a fact , and have it on tape from “911 Rudy’s” private hosery salesman, that Rudy is very discriminate; when picking out his feminine underwear. Fish net and lace are his favorite hosery. “911 Rudy” is a flamboyant crossdresser; who enjoys a bit of the bizzare in his personal apparel selections. There are a number of published pictures of “Rudy Boy” in drag. Yes, he does look better as a woman than as a man. Anyone who has seen him in his several public appearances in drag, will agree with me that; “911 Rudy ” is the perfect GOP Presidential Candidate to challenge skirt to pant suit with Hillary Clinton.

As I watched the unbelievable spectacle of “911 Rudy” the crossdressing Republican, answer a cell phone call from his wife , while he was in the middle of a speech to the NRA I realized at that moment; that “911 Rudy’s ” wife might be his dominatrix. It makes perfect sense! How many men in the world would answer a call from their wives while giving a speech; unless they were so submissive to their wife , being nationally humiliated by answering her call, might actually turn him on sexually. “911 Rudy” might have had a controlled orgasm, while talking to his dominatrix wife in front of the NRA. Did anyone catch his euphoric smile; when he answered the phone and said to his audience , it was his wife. Then he asked her to say hello to the people in the audience. This is one very sick SOB!

Did anyone by chance see the Knighting of Sir Sissy “911Rudy” by the Queen of England back in 2002. She gave him a Knight Hood , supposedly for his valiant efforts during the World Trade Center conspiracy. Sir Sissy,” 911 Rudy” bowed before the Queen of England at her god damned feet, as she Knighted him ; while he was looking up her dress. This was the perfect position for a sad, sick, perverted submissive. This is the “man” who is the front runner for the GOP presidential candidate !!!!! You have got to admire the GOP for keeping in character. Nothing hypocritical about them. NO SIR!

You might not have heard about this yet, but a GOP Federal Prosecutor was busted last week in Florida for soliciting sex with a 5 year old girl. An FBI agent posed as a mother on the internet who was willing to sell sex with her 5 year old daughter. This sick SOB took her up on the offer, hopped a plane and was nabbed by the FBI when he got off the plane. This was one of the Bush / Gonzales boys; who was not on the Bush / Gonzales Federal Prosecutor hit list.

By now anyone who claims they are a “Good Republican” has got to be one sick SOB. If cross dressing, submissive, “911 Rudy “, is the top choice for the Republican Presidential Candidate for 2008; who ever votes for him is either a pervert themselves, or a complete and utter imbecile.

THE JENA 6 , WHITE KNIGHTS VS. BLACK KNIGHTS

THE JENA 6 , WHITE KNIGHTS VS. BLACK KNIGHTS
9/21/07

The racial problems in Jena Louisiana are another example of White supremacists battling Blacks for the legal rights to co-exist. That the protests in Jena are peaceful, is a remarkable statement and extraordinary example of what racial harmony, and tollerance must be. Death , destruction, and premeditated violence against all other races, is all White Americans seem to understand. Might Is Right. Fear breeds racism. These are the evils that possess White Americans. Fear of retrobution, fear of racial equality,fear of violence against them, fear of their own inferiority, consiously or subconsciously this is what they believe. It is how White Americans are brought up. Their religions, their country clubs, their schools, their businesses , their parents and grandparents for countless generations have passed on fear and racial hatred ; that have created a mind set in White Americans, to distrust, look down on, or hate all who are not White. Their religions equate White with purity and godliness, and equate Black with evil , mystery, fear, and uncleanliness. It is a mass form of mind control; that has created racial tensions since the beginning of organized religion. Religions still continue to instill teachings of separation and inequality amongst their own followers, and against followers of other religions and races. How can a 5 year old know how to hate a person of a different race, or religion than they are; unless they are taught to hate and fear them by adults they love and trust ?

I have been aware of racial inequality and hatred since I was a child. It has been an emotional issue in my life ever since I witnessed my second grade , black classmate , brutally struck by my second grade teacher . ( see my archived essay, A RACIST MEMORY).

It disturbs me to write on this issue. It brings up very strong , very violent memories of incidents that have occured in my life. To stand by and witness the violent attack of an adult on an eight year old friend, as I sat next to him in my classroom created a fear and distrust of every teacher and authority figure I’ve ever encountered since. While I attended college another incident occured ; that left me enraged with anger and hatred towards all White supremicists. . I was emotionally scared for many years after the incident; when a black friend of mine was brutally beaten, by four white men. I was not with him during the fight, I was with him later that night; when he staggered into the entry way of the campus auditoruim. He told me he had been attacked. His face was bloodied, and his right eye was swollen shut, his jaw was bruised and swollen. I asked him who attacked him and he said he didn’t know who they were. Four guys had grabbed him and beat him. I had been scheduled to performed a few songs that night at a campus concert of student acts. I had just completed my set, and went outside for a cigarette. (Ironically, Neil Young’s “Southern Man ” was a big hit that year.) As a crowd began to form around my friend and I, I asked him if he new his attackers,or if they were in the crowd . He then looked at the people who were gathering around us and said “NO”. I asked him what happen to the white girl I intoduced him to earlier that night, who he went for a walk with on campus. He said she took off when he got grabbed and ran for help. She had gotten away. My friend was bleeding badly and I looked at several people who were standing near us, and asked them to call campus security, but no one did . They just stood silent and stupid, as they watched us.

As I asked again for someone to go for help, my friend put his hand on my arm and said,”Let’s get out of here.” He said he was afraid the guys who beat him up might be nearby, and would get both of us. He said he fought back and hurt a couple of them. I took him to the college infirmary, he didn’t want to go to the cops. He said he didn’t trust the cops in that”White Town”. The next day my friend went home , he lived out of state. I spoke to him by phone several times after, but I lost contact with him after a few months. His mother said he had joined the Navy. I left school at the end of that semester. I enrolled at a different school, in a different state, a year later.

I understand racial hatred only as a white man, not as a black man. I can never fully understand the pain, or humiliation that a black person suffers in a racist society. To be discriminated against because of the color of their skin. It is horrid that 36 years later , the same racial hatred is still afflicting America. White American bigotry has even expanded , not diminished since then. It is more covert and less institutional , just under legal radar. Now White racists focus their hatred on all non white races. Middle Eastern, Hispanic, Asian, and anyone who is not White. Why? All Legal American citizens deserve the same legal rights. All human beings, deserve the same human rights. The world’s population and shift of political power are changing rapidly. Soon the evils of racial intollerence will no longer be tollerated in any form. This will end racism in the United States, and around the world. The end of racial hatred will come. It must come.

A NEW GENERATION OF SHEEPLE (SHEEPLE: A HYBRID HUMAN, PART SHEEP LIKE IN PERSONALITY AND PART HUMAN.)

A NEW GENERATION OF SHEEPLE (SHEEPLE: A HYBRID HUMAN, PART SHEEP LIKE IN PERSONALITY AND PART HUMAN.)
9/18/07

I watched a report this morning of a student in Florida getting pulled away from a microphone while asking John Kerry a question about why he conceded the 2004 election within 24 hours; when everyone was aware of massive voter fraud in Ohio and Florida. Before Kerry could answer, three police officers grabbed the student away from the microphone and began to take him out of the auditorum. The student resisted and shouted to the police “What did I do wrong? Why are you grabbing me?” Then as he continued to resist the police officers tasered him. No one in the auditorum came to his rescue. No one tried to stop the unlawful actions of the police. John (coward ) Kerry stood silent on stage and said nothing and allowed it to happen.

Everyone has seen or heard of these unlawful attacks by police on students and protestors , and the abusive use of tasers. What bothered me most about this incident wasn’t that the cops grabbed the student without just cause. What bothered me, was not one student or faculty member came to his aid. They all stood by, or remained in their seats, and watched this innocent victim of police abuse be manhandled, and tasered with 50,000 volts of electricity, as he screamed in agony. Kerry stood by silent. He could have stopped it immediately, and allowed the student to continue his questions. The faculty of the university could have intervened , and demanded the student be given his right to speak. The student was not violating or theatening anyone. He was merely excercising his right to free speech in a public forum.

It was obvious that the majority of the people in the auditorium were students, mostly in their late teens and early twenties. I applaud the person who took the video of the incident, but I condemn everyone else who stood by and did nothing. I condemn John Kerry for allowing it to happen without trying to stop it. The irony of all this is that Kerry is the King of Concession and the shining example of cowardly behavior. The students and faculty in attendence must have been of a liberal political leaning if they were interested in what Kerry had to say, and invited him to speak . I can’ t imagine anyone with any patriotism or integrity, inviting Kerry to speak; after the shame he brought on the American people in the 2004 election.

America has entered a period of unprecidented passivity. We now demand zero tollerance in our schools and work places, and accept our being mass mind control by the media, and the silencing of all dissent on university campasses , and high schools. American society has become a society of sheeple. A passive, self absorbed, cowardly, corrupt, consumer driven society . If that incident with the student had happened in the ’60’s and ’70s there would have been a mad rush of students and faculty running to the student’s aid. A fight would have taken place with police, arrests would have been made, and the national guard called in as tidal wave of violent protests would have swept across the campass, shouting down the abuses of a police state, and joined in solidarity by other universities around the country. A cry for Kerry’s head would have been heard around the country, his politcal career would have been ended, and he would have been mocked and condemned by every campass newspaper in the country. Today the incident is barely an issue. Students returned to their dorms and classrooms, as the only student amongst them, who had any courage and conviction, was tasered and hauled away in handcuffs. A student was arrested and tortured in front of other students and faculty for no reason; other than his asking John Kerry why he conceded within 24 hours after the election in 2004; when everyone in the world knew the vote count in Ohio, and Florida were rigged. Where is the outrage ?

Where is the individual courage, bravery, and idealism of America’s young generations , other than fighting by proxy an illegal war in Iraq ? Where are the civilian soldiers fighting to protect American freedom at home? Why is anyone tollerating this outrage of police state abuse on our campusses? What has happened to the offspring of the brave youth and committed adults who fought so valiantly for freedom and justice? It is their sons and daughters who have become silent and spoiled, so sheltered they can not think of a day in their lives without a video game , ipod, or cell phone. We allow schools to teach revisionist history and false science. We allow churches to influence curriculum and choice of faculty in public secondary schools and universities. We allow the brain drain of our teenagers lost on hard drugs and alcohol, gangster rap, and icons of lust and addiction, fame and priviledge , as Brittany Spears, Paris Hilton, Lindsey Lohan , and their endless A minus list of pop stars.

Perhaps it was the baby boomers that unleashed this insanity on society, and are now to blame for the passive indifference of their children. I do not know how to reconcile our rebellion and revolution, with what has happened to the recent generations of Americans. I know that I was an angry student once, locked in a cage of conservatism in a society of war and greed. But there was an idealism, a belief that we must uphold our rights and fight for our rights against all oppression. Humanity was worth saving, the planet was worth saving, war must end, death and disease must end, hatred and bigotry must end.

We had courageous leaders then. Men and women who shouldered the burden of leadership and inspired a generation of young people to excell beyond the dreams of their parents. Beyond the dreams of any generation in history. We conquered space, we achieved 30 years of peace and prosperity. He achieved the highest standard of living in the world. Now we see the effects of the vial evil; that has stripped us of our wealth, our educational system, our health, our industry, our leadership, our vast potential and identity as citizens of the greatest country on earth. The horrid leadership of the last thirty years. The selling out of the American dream. The infiltration of church into government and insane fundamentalists, neo con and New World Order idealogues, stole our government, our wealth, our resources, and destroyed our goodwill around the world; by ceaseless war and imperial ambition . We have learned so much in the last 30 years, and yet so very little about ourselves.

We are a society enslaved by debt to globalist bankers. We are beaten down by stress, and constant demands of our families and friends, to consume more, spend more, be rich, forget those who are struggling to make a living, stuggling to afford health care, stuggling to fight oppressive government. We ignore those who are fighting to make others aware of what is going on around them, and the danger we face as a society. We ignore activists fighting to preserve our fragile planet, fighting to prevent our extinction on a planet that is going through dramatic and devastating climate changes. Passivity and indifference threatens the lives or our children and future generations. The alarm is sounding loudly, and we can not wait any longer to wake up.

Pacifism is not cowardice, nor is it indifference. It is a commitment to non violence. I am not a pacifist. I believe in peace and good will toward men, but I am a realist , who is certain; that all who remain passive in the great shadow of darkness, and evil, now engulfing this this planet will perish . All who remain indifferent to the suffering of others, the wave of injustice and corruption sweeping the globe causing genocide, the evironmental destruction of the planet, and the enslavement , poverty and misery of billions of peoplewill also suffer greatly, and are now suffering greatly from their lack of concern.

ANXIETY

ANXIETY
9/17/07

I recently got spam mailed a self help, feel good , kiss your kids before they go to bed , rid all your fears by becoming a member, for 10 dollars a month, scam. I found out that I have lived my entire life not realizing I suffer from depression and anxiety, according to this spam mail mental health message . I never knew all the symptoms until I read them in the spam message. I have never known anyone who wasn’t depressed at one time or another, and suffered from the same symptoms I have. I always thought I was reasonably well adjusted; until I read the symptoms of Depression and Anxiety.

I have to confess I often don’t feel very well or jovial, if I receive bad news, or someone dies, or I just lost my wallet, or I have to change a flat tire. I never thought it was a psychological disease if I suddenly got anxious about something. I remember in my early 20s; when I had just bought my first house. I was married and had a corporate job, commuted 45 minutes each way to work, (in good traffic) , drank too much , ate too much, suffered from heartburn and headaches, and I had a demanding job over looking insurance agencies for a major insurance company. One fateful day I discovered a large fraud going on by several major insurance agencies, amounting to millions of dollars of fraudulent insurance policies and premium payments.

I had been at the job for about a year, and had been given several raises and awards; until I discovered something I wasn’t suppose to discover. Being the honest boy scout that I was , I brought my findings to my department head . I thought he was innocent , and a” good company man”, but I knew a few heads always have to be sacrificed when the sh-t hits the perverbial fan. Usually the “good company men and women”; who find the problems, get their heads cut off first. This fraud happened to be very big, very dirty, and very well hidden for several years, and reached right up to the Presidents and CEOs of some of the largest insurance agencies in the country. Anxiety and depression took hold of me that day, and wouldn’t let go for quite a while.

I watched the reactions of my department head as he reviewed my findings. His face became drawn and pale . I asked him if he was all right, and he replied, “No”. He suddenly rose from his chair and told me he needed someone else to come into the office to discuss the problem. Up until this moment he and I were friends. He had given me three raises in one year, and placed me on a fast track program for management. I was an eccentric kind of golden boy, who most people in the company liked. “A kid with a future”, they would say.

The department head brought in his fast track, managment trainee, who was assigned to the department for one year. She had a degree in accounting and business management, I was still working on my Bachelors degree , going to school nights to finish it off. He wanted her to go over my accounts carefully, and find out if what I had discovered was real, and if any other agencies were involved . Also to find out where the trail led to in the company. She realized the significance of her assignment as she reviewed my findings, and said, “This could be really big.” We all knodded agreeing, but with reserved anxiety. I didn’t know that my first bout with severe depression and anxiety was to come soon. The days of my corporate, fast track to management were near an end. I was about to suffer the crash and burn of my early corporate career .

It didn’t take long before I saw the handwriting on the wall. Three or four private meetings with the Dept. Head and his managment trainee after she reviewed my accounts. She would ask me what my communications with the agencies were, who I contacted , who I had lunch with, how did I discover the problem. It was a deposition without a lawyer. I was completely innocent of any wrong doing and they knew it, but the paper work implicated a lot of other people far more important than I was. I was suddenly the most important peon in the company. I was invited to meet with the Sr. VP of operations, and have home office meetings with internal auditing and security. This particular insurance company was and is one of the largest in the world.

After several weeks of this non stop suspicion and corporate investigation, which all started from my stumbling onto something I shouldn’t have, during a three martini lunch with an agency’s business manager. At that meeting he handed me a $100,000 dollar check for an outstanding commercial premium; which I proved the agency had collected , but had not paid to the company. We both overstepped ourselves that day,believing we had both done our jobs well; but that $100,000 was supposed to have been buried in a sea of paper work and numbers, that no one was ever suppose to find. No one, until I found it. Finding that trail opened up several new channels for investigation, and I found the same problem existed with several other major national agencies, that were my assigned accounts. As this information became known in my department and around the company , everyone who had any involvement with these agencies were called in for questioning and placed under internal investigation. All the smiles and happy greetings I had been use to receiving; suddenly turned into cold stares and silent responses to my hellos.

Depression and Anxiety are not always as debilitating as they are described to be; especially if someone who has them, doesn’t know what they are. Being a niave , yet serious, twenty three year old kid, with what many said were admirable ambitions, I thought everything would work out and I’d be promoted . Instead I was isolated, questioned, interogated and left to squirm at my desk; as my accounts were being scrutinized by internal security auditors. I was left out of the loop, and assigned idle paper work. I told my Dept. Head I wanted to take a week off . He agreed . I had just bought a house a month before this all happened, and needed time to do some work on it. I was suffering from Depression and Anxiety both at the same time , but I thought it was just sheer panic.

The week off was anxiety driven, I virtually demolished the interior of the house and rebuilt it. I can’t remember ever having as much physical energy again, as I had during that week. I would start work at 7:00am and end at 9 or 10 pm. I would stay awake worrying and watching television for several hours; until I fell asleep, and started working again the next morning. I didn’t want to think about anything; other than remodeling my new house. For that entire week I hadn’t heard from anyone at the company. No calls , this was before answering machines , computers or fax machines. It’s almost impossible to imagine today, how slow communications were back in the 1970’s. It’s was a blessing not to know what was happening. I knew I had done nothing wrong, and had nothing to worry about, but I also knew it was always the innocent, and the honest people; that got hurt in these situations, and the first to lose their jobs.

When I got back to work the following week, everyone in the department seemed friendly , and happy to see me. That morning I was called into a meeting with the Dept. Head ; who smiled somewhat relieved, as I entered the office. He told me that my accounts had been scrutinized while I was away, and they found a lot of problems, but the problems stemmed back before I worked for the company, and no one was blaming me, but I made a name for myself, and also made a few powerful enemies. He reassigned me to several small agencies and told me I wouldn’t be handling any of my old accounts; until the investigation was complete. He also said I had been taken off the fast track program , and he would try to get me back on when the audit was over. I knew that was the death of my career with that company. It was time to look for another job.

My department head said the internal auditors were now investigating upper management’s activities regarding these agencies. He said my discovery hadn’t made any friends for me in the upper management of the company. The following afternoon I was called to the Regional General Manager’s office. I was told that he wanted to speak with me , right away but they didn’t say what it was about. I thought it might be the kiss of death. Anxiety came over me . I went to the men’s room and washed my face and hands to calm down; then my heart started racing. I hadn’t had any breakfast that morning, and had drank three cups of black coffee. What was simple gas I diagnosed as chest pains, or a heart attack. I knew I was freaking out. I thought of leaving the building, and going home telling everyone I got violently sick. I stayed in the men’s room for nearly 20 minutes until I calmed down, and decided to go to the General Manager’s office. As I slowly walked to the elevators, I began to freak out again. All I thought of was that I had just bought a house, I had a car payment, my wife wouldn’t understand my getting fired, and I had less than a thousand dollars in the bank. If I lost my job, I might lose everything. The thought of being ruined at the ripe old age of twenty three sounds ridiculous now,but it was a real cause for great anxiety and depression then. I got into the elevator and pressed the button for the fifteenth floor.

I don’t know if my anxiety had an effect on what was about to happen , and that I had made the General Manager wait over half an hour for me to show up, but as I got into the elevator heading towards the 15th floor I braced myself and calmed down. I thought that whatever happened it wouldn’t kill me. It might screw up my life a bit, but it wouldn’t kill me, and I was ready to meet my fate. As I got off the elevator I was stopped by a paramedic and a policeman who were clearing the way to the elevator , and two other paramedics were carrying someone out on a gurney. I looked to see the person they were carrying out, and I recognized him, it was the General Manager. His eyes were closed, and no one was giving him oxygen or moving quickly . Someone standing next to me said he had died of a heart attack in his office, minutes earlier. No one could revive him.

This is a true story. The General Manager was under investigation, no one knew why he had called me to his office. I was not fired, I was just ignored. Within a few weeks after the death of the General Manager, the shock wore off, and the company returned to normal. I had found another job , and handed in my resignation to the Department Head. He read it and said , “You don’t have to leave.” I said; I’m not going anywhere in the company if I stay, am I ?” He smiled,and said , he didn’t think he was going anywhere either, and wished me good luck. I gave a two week notice and took the last week as paid vacation. I started my new job the following week , in a different field as a salesman . I never wanted to work in insurance again.

Ever since that episode in my life I don’t take things so seriously anymore. Everything works out if you keep a cool head, don’t panic, and work through it. The General Manager didn’t make it. Many people don’t make it. I’ve had friends who couldn’t handle the stress in their lives, and died at a young age,or became ill because of stress. I do not accept Depression and Anxiety as a disablity in my life. Everyone gets depressed, or anxious at some time in their lives, it’s normal, it’s being human, it’s what we are. If we say we will get through it , and believe that we can and will, then we will get through it, but only if we truly want to.

WHITE STRIPES , ICKY THUMP

WHITE STRIPES,ICKY THUMP
9/17/07

I saw a remarkable video today . I admire the genius of the White Stripe brother and sister act. They have a new CD out called Icky Thump. I recommend everyone of my readers and listeners to watch their video spoof on Mexico. I think it is a masterpiece of social commentary.

I was a little hard on the” New Generation” in my last article, trying to equate my generation with theirs. There are a lot of incredibly talented, and remarkable kids around today. This White Stripe video and CD prove it.

I have hope for the future generation. I just wish they better understood the grave issues facing them today. My generation is responsible for many failures, but we are also responsible for most of the technical marvels we have today. We may be over protective of our young people, but in many ways they need more protection than we did at their age. We didn’t have 16 year old serial murderers, or internet predators, or hardcore pornography, or hundreds of television stations to watch. Our lives were regulated, but none of the people I grew up with were contemplating suicide, or suffering from severe parental neglect. We worked and played and went to school and most of us had stay at home mothers.

Many of my generation grew up in a Betty Crocker Society. We watched “Leave It To Beaver” and ” American Band Stand.” We thought the Beatles were cool, Elvis was king , and the Beach Boys great. Bob Dylan was my favorite, but I grew up in a town where I and one “far out” girl friend of mine were the only people who knew who Bob Dylan was.

I offer the “New Generation” an apology for herding them all into a stereotype, but not a retraction. The members of my generation are this generation’s parents and grand parents. Many were courageous idealists, with remarkable energy and ambition. My generation may have gotten side tracked. A few of them got killed, beaten, and brutalized by the system. Many of us did conform. But we gave the power brokers a run for their corporate money, and changed the world in many ways. It is my sincerest hope,that the “New Generation of Sheeple” break their bonds of consumerism, conformity, and mediocrity, and become an extraordinary generation of courageous and remarkable individuals, who will lead the world into a utopian future.

LET’S BE REAL

LET’S BE REAL
9/16/07

It continues to amaze me how utterly blind most Americans are . There can be a fire burning next to them and they won’t see it. Their is a war going on and they can’t see it. Their son’s or husbands or daughters die for a lost cause, and they refuse to see it. Massive protests of hundreds of thousands of people marching in Washington D.C and around the world, but no one sees them. Most Americans don’t see them, and don’t care.

“Give me mine. That’s all I care about.” Sound familiar, it might, it’s the all American motto. “Give me mine. I want it, I deserve it , give it to me or I’ll kill you.” This is what Americans say and do every day we allow our country to remain at war. This is what Americans say each day we allow our government to cause deaths, revolutions, and regime changes in other countries. Every time we allow another U.S company to outsource American jobs we are saying “I’m glad it’s not my job.”But we won’t do anything about it. It’s not our job. “Give me mine, that’s all I care about.” It’s human nature at it’s basic instincts. We haven’t evolved any higher than our primate ancestors. Oh maybe a holy person or two might take offense at this; since this is Sunday, and they of course are at church, and feeling so holy. Let’s be real here. They are all at church praying for a financial windfall, or good health, or even to ask their creator for revenge against someone for stealing from them, or harming them in someway. “Give me mine, that’s all I care about.”

I see it . I feel it. I know it. I talk about it. I scream about it. I keep yelling FIRE FIRE, but no one hears me. If they do hear me they don’t listen. They walk away, get angry, laugh, ignore me, but they refuse to see the fire, or hurricane winds of corruption, because of their own blinding greed. “Give me mine, that’s all I care about.” “My things are bigger and better than your things.” “I have a lot more things than you do.” “How come you got more things than I do ?” “Give me your things, or I’ll take them from you.” ” Give ’em to me, or I’ll kill you.”

Every day on the streets of America someone is killed; because they have more or less than someone else . The have not wants what the have has, if they can’t get it , the have not steals it , or kill the have; who has what they want, to take away what the have has. It’s a mindless cycle of of madness and greed.

Our government does the same thing. Americans want all the oil in the middle east and the middle east doesn’t want to give it to us , so we kill everyone who resists us; until we get what we want. We want people in third world countries to live in poverty, so we can exploit their labor markets and pay their workers less than a dollar a day. Americans don’t care, about third world labor conditions as long as they can buy their stuff cheaply and the U.S companies can make outrageous profits. “Give me mine, I don’t care about anything else.”

Hypocrisy is the American mainstay. Without it what would we be ? Hypocrisy is an American trait, perfected by our European ancestors. Slavery is a constant in the Christian and Muslim scared books. Hypocrisy strikes out at the reader of these works in every line. Evangelicals are the leaders of all lost souls. Leading their following down the path of hypocrisy, racism, hatred, and madness. Their prayer is “Give me mine, I dont care about anything else.” “I’m going to heaven because I’m soooo gooood, but no one else is , because they aren’t as gooood as I am. ” Let’s be real, eveyone is concerned about themselves, and that is really all they are concerned about. Maybe that’s all we should be concerned about ? But I still can’t stop shouting FIRE! FIRE! It’s not because I want anything from anyone, It’s just to warn everyone who will listen; that there is a fire next to them, and unless they open their eyes and see it; they will get burned. It will destroy their homes, and consume everything they ever owned. It could kill everyone and everything they ever loved, and possibly kill themselves. It could kill the planet and destroy the human race .

Their is a fire burning rapidly across the world, carried by winds of human greed,fueled by hypocrisy, indifference, cruelty, obsession and insanity. Humanity’s destiny is; that it will be destroyed by it’s own blind stupidity.

FAREWELL TO BUSH’S TOP LIAR

FAREWELL TO BUSH’S TOP LIAR
9/14/07

I’m not surprised to see Tony Snow leave his position as Press Secretary. I’m surprised that he lasted as long as he did, considering his personal illness, and the daily stress and responsibility of his position to add air freshener to the Bush Administration’s daily flatulence of lies, aimed directly at the Press corp, and the American public. Why in God’s name would anyone in their right mind take the job, as the “Top Liar” in the Bush Administration,(with the exception of the “Liar in Chief “himself) ? What benefit did Tony Snow receive ; other than becoming a historical footnote as an interim mouthpiece, for the most disfunctional , traitorous, and most destructive presidency the United States and the world have ever witnessed ?

Ari Fleicher was reduced to an ineffectual, and completely unbelievable, blatant liar, during the final days of his tenure in the Bush Administration. I remember old Ari getting more and more combative with the press corp, as his hair noticably receded to nearly complete baldness, and his complextion sallowed, until he looked like a man ready for a mental breakdown, or one who was already having a mental breakdown. Then came Scott McClellan, the Press Corp’s Pillsbury Doughboy. His round face and chubby cheeks, would blush when he got angry or flustered, which was most of the time. His hair line rapidly receded during his tenure as Bush’s “Top Liar”, and he became pudgier and more sickly looking. During his final days, before his resignation, poor ol’ Scott appeared as if he were completely burned out and had gained 20 pounds; since he first took the position. He began to mumble or speak angrily to reporters when asked questions he could not be truthful about. It became obvious; that he was faking a smile he could no longer fake. Being the “Top Liar” in Dubya’s Administration is a near death sentence for anyone. No one ever hears of Ari or Scott anymore. I read an article recently; that stated, Ari is deeply into Cabala these days. When someone suffers a breakdown they usually seek a higher religious meaning to their life. I wonder what Scott is doing ? Maybe he’s become a lobbyist for Pillsbury or entered a monestary ?

Poor ol’ Tony Snow, miraculously escaped death from cancer and was in remission when he decided to become Dubya’s Press Secretary. He is now near death’s door again, as his cancer returned, his hair is noticably falling out, from chemo therapy, he’s lost a considerable amount of weight, and yet he says he regrets leaving his job. He claims; that “His wife insists he leave his position, and make a decent living again.” He blames the low government salary (of over $100,000 per year). I think his wife meant it was the poisonous position working for Dubya, as his “Top Liar”, that is killing him. )

Tony Snow may consider his service to G.W Bush an honorable and worthy assignment, however his disservice to the American people by serving a madman, and a pathological liar, hell bent on destroying the United States is unconscienable. Tony Snow will go down in history as one of G.W’s greatest fools. One of three Press Secretaries , who couldn’t handle the job anymore; as being America’s “Top Liar” to the “Liar in Chief”. I do not feel sorry for Tony. He chose to take the job out of his own vanity. He knew full well who and what G.W Bush was all about before he took the job. He knew what he was walking into . His apparent illness and waning smile, are the final symptoms of all who accept the Press Secretary’s position under G.W. Bush.

Farewell Tony Snow , and farewell Ari and Scott and the future ” Top Liar” for G.Dubya’s White House. I will offer my sympathies now to the new Press Secretary; rather than at the end of a short, interim career. Whoever takes over the position now will have to be the greatest liar ever, to hold the position of Press Secretary if they want to survive. As we enter the 5th year of the Iraq War with no end in sight, international indictments of human rights violations and crimes of war are pending against Dubya’s and his Administration, and Dubya’s leadership has led the country to the brink of an economic recession the size and scope of the Great Depression. The White House and Republican scandals continue along with added pressure and criticism applied to Dubya’s policies by 20 candidates in a presidential election cycle. Whoever takes the position of “Top Liar” for Dubya’s administration, the only break they could hope for is if G.Dubya is impeached.

The next Press Secretary will be a woman. I can’t remember her name , but it will be irrelevant in a year. She is Tony’s Deputy Secretary. As I recall she was blonde and attractive. A wanna be news anchor for MSNBC or Fox, or maybe she’s thinking ahead a few years, and sees herself as the replacement for Katie Couric’s job. Whatever her ambitions are, if she survives the next year in the position of “America’s Top Liar”, she will no doubt appear far more haggard than she does now, as did her predecessors; she will either be on sedatives, anti depressants, or about to enter rehab for bulemia or anorexia. Or she may struggle with some terminal desease, and be forced to resign. Sadly this is the fate, and the professional hazards; that come with accepting the position of America’s “Top Liar”for “The Liar in Chief”.

Farewell Tony Snow , and farewell Ari and Scott and the future ” Top Liar” for G.Dubya’s White House.

IT’S 911 AGAIN

IT’S 911 AGAIN
9/11/07

Six years to the day, G.W Bush and his minions attacked the World Trade Center. They killed nearly 3000 people immediately, on this day six years ago, and over a million more American , Iraqis, and Afghanistan people in the last six years. What great fun they have been having. What a wonderful time it has been for psychotic killers, and greed driven CEOs, and of course blood lusting psychopaths. How happy they all are. America, cheer on the great leadership and great words of General BETRAY US. Let’s wave the flag at half mast for the half assed , murderous , G.W Bush, and his military of minions. We have so much to be proud of . Such brilliant military leaders we have. My heart goes pitter patter every time I think of our brilliant generals, and our brilliant Diplomatic Corp . and State Department officials. Americans need never worry about their domestic or foreign security. G.W and the geniuses in his administration have insured we are loved and respected around the world. All hail our glorious Chief! All hail G.W. Bush ! All hail Dick Cheney! All hail our great toetapping, Congress ! All hail our military leaders in Iraq and Afghanistan! How proud we should all be , to be Americans on this day. How very proud we must be to know we have a psychopathic, imbecilic, traitorous, president at the helm of our government. How extremely proud we must all be on this great and glorious day. Join me now, in singing the national anthem.

OHOH SAY CAN YOU SEE BY THE DAWNS EARLY LIGHT. WHAT SO PROUDLY WE HAIL BY THE TWILIGHTS LAST GLEEMING. THE BROAD STRIPES AND BRIGHT STARS , AND BOMBS BURSTING IN AIR , GAVE PROOF THROUGH THE NIGHT THAT THE FLAG WAS STILL THERE. OH SAY THAT STAR SPANGELED BANNER YET WAVE. O’RR THE LAND, AND O’RR THE SEA AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE.

“BUSH’S TOP ADVISORS PROMOTE CURRENT WAR STRATEGY .” WHY WOULD ANYONE THINK THEY WOULDN’T ?

“BUSH’S TOP ADVISORS PROMOTE CURRENT WAR STRATEGY.” WHY WOULD ANYONE THINK THEY WOULDN’T ?
9/9/07

How can any rational human being expect the Bush Brain Trust to come up with any other recommendation to Congress or the American people, other than “Stay the course” . Of course this is what they are going to say! Their little brain dead idiotic livlihoods are tied up in the continuation of the war. Bush’s ludicrous legacy as a war president is tied up in the war . Without a war Bush’s entire record as a president would be a complete failure , and an ultimate farce of an American President. By staying in Iraq he and his idiotic advisors can hide their criminal negligence as well as criminal intent under the disguise of war, and a made up story of global terrorism, until January 2009.

If anyone buys this line of stinking crap the White House and Pentagon are shoveling to the American public as a legitimate recommendation for the Iraq and Afghanistan solution, they are as stupid as the Bushies think they are. Personally I’ve given up on everyone who believes in anything Bush and his brain dead advisors say. Any American who hasn’t had enough of the lies, corruption and traitorous actions of the Bush Administration by now,should be placed in a maximum security prison along with G.W Bush and all of his cronies, former and present, or be placed in a padded cell with them, as mentally incompetent, or criminally insane.

FALSE CHARITY

FALSE CHARITY
9/5/07

False charity is something everyone encounters at one time or another. Charity is a virtue. It is a noble cause and a noble deed. Giving to a good cause, or a concern from one’s heart is one of the most noble traits of mankind. It is this part of all of us that is the most vulnerable to con artists.

A False Charity is a phoney charity that plays on peoples’ consciences and pretends someone or something is in need of money or aid. I believe that helping an individual in need is the highest charitable act . I become disgusted by the countless not for profits and political parties, and their candidates; that plead for everyone’s dollar. Giving to a political candidate is not a charity. The 100 or 200 dollars someone gives to a millionare to run for political office, is the most foolish waste of money ever conceived. What does anyone get for their 100 bucks ? A thank you letter maybe? Do these contributors , unless they contribute bundles of 100 thousand or more, really expect that their contribution means anything to these people running for office ? If they drop out of the race the money was totally wasted. If they win the race, they won’t remember a 100 dollar contributor. They would barely remember a 2,000 dollar contributor, which is the legal limit for an individual donor.

One hundred dollars is more money than a sweatshop worker in China or Mexico or even the United States makes in a month. Over one half of the world’s population lives on two dollars a day. It is sick to think anyone would have the cold blooded comtempt of their fellow human beings, to consider giving a dollar to a millionare politician, and not even a penny to a starving child. Where is the charity here ?

Another absolutely incredible rip off is National Public Radio or National Public Television. To give money to these organizations is insidious. Does anyone who donates to these globalist propaganda machines realize; that NPR and PBS are given billions of dollars annually from major corporations? Their commericalism has become obscene. The only difference between NPR and any commerical station is; NPR’s constant badgering of its listeners to give them money. It’s the same way with PBS .

Wake up America and every other country ; that throws away billions a year for the feel good for nothing feeling; other than the enrichment of a few Non Profit executives and a globalist network of propaganda machines disguised as charities , political parties,and supposedly do gooder organizations. Its infuriating when I see; that less than 15 percent of all monies given to major charities and NGO’s ever reach the people who the money was meant for.

Give your charitable dollars to real charities like local food banks, local neigborhood heatlh clinics, local police and fireman funds, that help their families. Why do people give to organizations outside their own country ? Over 20 percent of all children in the U.S live below the poverty level; these statistics are stated by the U.S Government. Over 3 million senior citizens in the U.S are poverty stricken. There are an estimated 3 million homeless people in the United States. Why don’t Americans give to these people, or give to shelters and community kitchens ? Why don’t they give to fuel banks, so people don’t freeze to death in the winter, because they can’t afford fuel ? Entire families in the U.S huddle around wood stoves, burning scrape wood and paper, or risk burning their homes down with gas or electric ovens and space heaters just to keep warm. There are people in desparate need next door to many of us. Why does everyone seem to forget about that; when they write out their checks to Obama or Hillary or Mitt or John etc.etc. or good ol’ George Sr. or good ol’ Bill Clinton ?

As we see the next great depression looming over us, how can anyone consider giving to False Charities ? Who cares if NPR or PBS makes their goal of a billion dollars ? Who cares if Hillary or Obama have made 50 million dollars in contributions ? Who the hell cares if George Bush SR. and Bill Clinton want a billion for Tsunami relief ? Who the hell cares , except G.Bush Sr. and Bill Clinton; who never did anything without getting their cut of the deal. Crooks , thieves and false charities. Wake the hell up people! Who is going to help you if you loose your home, suffer a terminal illness, loose your jobs, loose your spouse or kids to a disease or accident ? Who will pay your bills ? Who will help you? Don’t count on Bill Clinton or George Sr. to sponsor a fund drive for you. Don’t count on NPR or PBS to ask their listeners to help you. These hypocrits and con men and women of false charities are the scurge of the earth. Don’t waste another thought or dime on these frauds. If you have money to give, give it to those who are in real need. Give it to those local shelters and institutions where people volunteer their time and services to help their neighbors. Leave the national and international charities to the U.S Government; who pay them off in grants from your taxes. Let these NGO executives, earning six figure salaries, scrounge for their existence like the starving people they are supposed to be helping. False charities and phoney schemes and national and international calls for aid are nothing more than scams, and designer charities; that make the donor feel like a celebrity, because they gave 50 bucks to the Tsunami fund, or Darfur fund or some other glamorous charity, because Big George Sr. or George Clooney or Big Bill Clinton asked them to. What about the hungry child on a U.S street ; who asks for a quarter, or a homeless man or woman; who ask for our help ? Where is George and Bill for these people? Why aren’t they sponsoring homeless shelters ? Why aren’t they sponsoring a charity drive for Katrina victims ? Why aren’t they Advocating Universal healthcare, for the 47 million Americans without it ; instead of a George and Bill vaudville act, shuffling off to Buffallo with billions ?

Bill Clinton just came out with a new book entiltled “Giving” no one mentions that he got millions for an advance on this book. Give to Bill , the same way Dubai and China give Bill millions in brokerage fees for selling them U.S assets, or globalist corporations and universities pay him upwards of $250,000 for a speech. Who the hell is kidding who? Anyone who believes Bill Clinton is giving anything, but the deeds to U.S assets, corporate and miltiary secrets to foreign countries , and free publicity and political advice to his wife, deserve to get fleeced.

RABID DOGS OF WAR

RABID DOGS OF WAR
9/3/07

The Iraq war isn’t run by human beings,nor has it ever been. The U.S government has been taken over and ravaged by a vicious pack of grizzly war dogs. Hell spawned creatures, who thrive on death and destruction. Rabid, vicious, killers, unleashed upon the world , to destroy anyone or anything that stands in their way. I understand why G.W’s hissing pack of Texas hienas, have left their alpha male, and headed back to safer grounds. They know what is about to happen to G.W, and his mangy pack of rabid dogs. Now the only ones left around G.W are the real killers , hell bent on the enslavement of the American people, and total world domination.

The Republican party is virtually finished. The staunchest Republican War Dogs in the House and Senate have mostly all backed away from their support of Bush’s foreign and domestic policies. The smarter senators and congressmen and aids see the handwriting on the wall. This pack of neocon dogs has gone too far. G.W and his mad dog administration, are despised by virtually every country in the world, and by the American people. The few remaining Bush Administration stragglers, are continuing to growel at the world, in defense of the war, and in defense of their own crimes. They will soon be rendered powerless, and cast out of their high offices, forced to fight their many domestic and foreign enemies alone.

Let this murderous pack of dogs, fight their wars by themselves. They do not deserve the support of our military. They do not deserve the support of the American people. It’s time for the SPCA to come with their nets and tranquilizer guns and capture this pack of mad dogs; before these hyper- salivating, blood thirsty, dogs of war , destroy the planet.

G.W’s surprise visit to Iraq, is just another attempt of the mad lead dog, to snarl and growel at the useless Iraqis leadership, and try to intimidate, the war weary American soldiers, before they all turn on him and his pack of mad dogs. It won’t be long now ; before G.W will be destroyed by those around him, as they will turn on him and on each other. I think it has begun to happen already,and G.W and Dick Cheney have scared off the weaker members of the pack. All who have remained in the Bush Administration are the most sick, the most desparate,and the most dangerous.

LARRY CRAIG THE POTATO EATING , TOE TAPPING, SENATOR FROM IDAHO

LARRY CRAIG, THE POTATO EATING , TOE TAPPING, SENATOR FROM IDAHO
9/2/07

The great state of Idaho is now known for two things, potatoes and a perverted senator. I was in Idaho once. I consider myself a reasonably well informed citizen; who like most other U.S citizens,do not know the names of every senator or congressman in Washington D.C. I hear certain senators’ names if they may have sponsored an important bill, or have publicly known presidential ambitions, or are caught in a highly publicized scandal. I’m well aware of my own state senators and congressmen,however I am being truthful; when I say I had never heard of Larry Craig until recently. He was a senator for 25 years; who has done little or nothing to achieve national name recognition, other than plead guilty to soliciting sex to an undercover cop in a Minnesota airport bathroom. What a great senator! I recently learned that he was also one of the several, now outed, self loathing, gay Republican,idiot law makers; who tried to ban same sex marriages, and think homosexuality should be a criminal offense.

I was watching the recently resigned senator give his “I’m Not Gay! ” speech with his wife standing by his side, who wore dark sunglasses hiding half of her face. She stood next to him at the podium with a dead pan expression,as though she were under a megadose of prescription drugs. To be honest,any wife who would stand in a public setting,next to her toe tapping, perverted husband; after he was caught trying to solicit sex with a man in a public bathroom, and was stupid enough to plead guilty to a sex crime without consulting a lawyer, would have to be on a serious perscription of vallium, oxycondyn, or prozac, or all three at the same time. It was a testiment to her self denial and mid western constitution, that she was able to stand at all.

CELEBRATING THE DEATH OF DIANA AGAIN AND AGAIN

CELEBRATING THE DEATH OF DIANA AGAIN AND AGAIN
9/1/07

A skeptical observer has got to wonder why England is celebrating the tragic death of Princess Diana again and again and again. The heir and the spare just gave a big concert in her honor a few months ago,now they need this 10 year celebration to drag up the memory of her suspicious death once again. Why does the American media need to drown out the airwaves with this spectacle of royal narcissism? Is the royal family so hated in England they need to remind their “subjects”, that they once had a nice member of their family, even though they screwed her over and possibly had her assasinated; because she was revealing royal secrets and was pregnant with Dodi Fiad’s baby? MMMM, one has got to wonder what the big hullabalu is really all about.

Personally I feel this celebration is an anti American insult,to see this British spectical of royal hypocrisy splattered over every American television screen. No one can escape from it. Every news program from 6:00am to midnight, is running reports of the Diana Death Celebration. You have to wonder if Prince Charley and Camilla,as well as the Queen are really celebrating Diana’s death, not her life. Maybe Willy and Harry are trying to get a message across to the world; that they know their mother was murdered. By keeping her face and memory in the media someone might really investigate her death.

Is there really an interest in the Life and Times of Diana, or is it just another attempt to flood the world media with her memory, to sell Diana books, tapes, and movies and more ads on all the news and entertainment news programs in the U.S and England? Maybe the English really get a charge out of honoring a dead princess, but why should the rest of the world have to suffer through it? Why should the death of Princess Diana mean more to the world; than the death of one million Iraqis in the last four years,or the multi millions of deaths caused by British and American caused conflicts world wide. Why does the Queen of England and her brood of heirs continually earn the world media’s devoted attention? Why does a completely archaic and useless monarchy continually receive the unabashed attentions of every news commentator and magazine editor in the world? There is obviously more going on here, than we sheeple understand. I turn the station or turn off the television, when I hear anything about the British Royals before it turns my stomach.

THE POET IN EVERYONE
8/30/07

There comes a time in everyone’s life when they must take stock in who they are and what they have become and who they are trying to become. I am like everyone who searchs for their unique place in the world. I have asked myself, who and what am I. Since my public debut of the first L.A. Steel television show on 7/31/99, I have tried to establish as a host and artist of controversial entertainment. Out of sheer annoyance at the main stream media’s news, art and literary publications, I decided to do something few people were attempting to do at the time. That was to create a weekly television series that would promote unknown artists and activists like myself.

Poetry has always been a mainstay of my identity. I was once a performance poet. At the time there were many viable venues for poets to read their own works. I made a number of good poet friends, with varying degrees of talent. Some were amazing performers, others were sincere and compellingly unique, and some were not so talented, whose only desire was for someone to listen to their work, even if that meant rejection and in some instances public humiliation.

It is extremely difficult for poets to express themselves without appearing too personal, too sentimental, too arrogant or too absurd. What ever the reason or need one has to express themselves through poetry, it is the obligation of other poets to listen to them. Unfortunately there has never been a wide audience for poetry, even amongst poets. Most poets write for themselves. Writing good poetry is a form of self mutilation as well as self emulation. It is difficult to explain this to someone who is not a poet. Poets bleed words. They are unlike many other people, because they hear and feel their connection to the infinite. That connection is unique to each poet as well as musician, artist, writer and everyone who wants to express themselves in these areas.

All poets are essentially idealistic. They may appear withdrawn or cynical or angry, but they continue to create their art and seek an appreciative audience. It is the fear of rejection, the fear of failure and isolation that hold artists back. Great poets and artists of world fame achieve their status through hard work, knowledge of their craft , persistence, optimism, and a distinct understanding; that they write or create for themselves. They transend this world by their purest passion and connect with the infinite, when they know they have created a masterpiece.

To the detriment of the world many masterpieces are lost or hidden by their creators; because of fear of criticism, and having to defend their work. The artists are often uncertain of the source of their inspiration, that connect them to the infinite. Poets and artists often keep their very best works to themselves and never reveal them to anyone. This is because they feel their work is truly far too personal, too beautiful, too incomprehensible for even themselves to define or to share with someone else. This is the way of the greatest teachers, gurus, prophets, saints, and masters. They know more than they could possibly attempt to teach to an uninterested, or unworthy audience. How can anyone, who has seen the face of God and the vision of eternity, describe it to someone, who does not believe in God or eternity. Why should enlightened masters face humiliation, public condemnation, danger, imprisonment, torture, and death, to bring to the masses a pure vision of eternity. They can not, and will not. Those who have the confidence of knowing their reason for existence, will sympathize with those who do not. They will attempt to guide others who desire or show genuine interest in understanding the infinite, but they can never fully reveal their most private and personal connection, for the ascension of their reality.

Throwing pearls to swine is a crude statement however, it was kept in a biblical text to demonstate in basic terms,that the wonders someone may see and understand,are their treasures. Poetry and the arts are established vehicles to express unique knowledge and vision. What makes a work of art a masterpiece is the artist’s expression of their vision. It is only when we open the door to others and show our private interior and private vision with complete confidence, courage and generosity of spirit;that we will become masters and visionaries.

A poet is the most primary of beings. The solitary journey of a poet begins with their first vision of the infinite. That first spark of divine inspiration ignites their passions, and creates a poetic thought, that changes their lives. Men and women are all poets, we are all primary creatures striving for the idealic vision, that confirms our immortality. The personal brand we wish to identify ourselves with, is always derived from the poet within us. Success or failure in our lives depends upon how free we allow the poet within us to be.

GENOCIDAL SUICIDE AND THE DESPARATE PLIGHT OF INDIA’S RUAL POPULATION

GENOCIDAL SUICIDE AND THE DESPARATE PLIGHT OF INDIA’S RUAL POPULATION
8/29/07

This article was inspired by a disturbing PBS documentary I watched last night. It was produced by the series Wide Angle. I am writing this article based solely upon my observations as a viewer of the documentary. The program was a documentary on the plight of farmers in India. It was a heart wrenching and interesting look at a very misunderstood country, and 600 million forgotten people living in rual India. This documentary could be considered an accusation and indictment of genocide, against the government of India.

I was compelled to watch this program as it attempted to depict the desparation of Indian farmers and the harsh poverty stricken existences of over 600 million people who live in rual India. These subsistence farmers are committing suicide at an alarming rate. In one typical rual village as many as three farmers commit suicide each week ; because of their farms failing and their shame of not being able to provide for their families. The documentary revealed the indifference of the democratically elected government of India to the majority of their own people. The Indian government continually fails to provide assistence or subsidies for their country’s farm products, to compete with the global agricultual markets. U.S and China are two of the most heavily subsidized agricultural markets, who drive down the price of agricultural products world wide, which destroys the lives and livihoods of the rual populations of third world countries. This unfair trade practice is driving farmers to commit suicide in massive numbers and leaving their families destitute; because of the inability to receive adequate prices for their farm products.

Perhaps their performances were prepared and staged; since all the widows and children interviewed were clean and well dressed in their traditional clothing; while doing back breaking work and planting their fields. The program concentrated on the widows and families of the farmers,who committed suicide. It also showed how India’s farmers are forced to buy mostly on credit, genetically modified cotton seeds. These seeds do not grow well in poor soil without proper irrigation and fertilization both unavailable to the majority of poor Indian farmers.

A farmers’ activist who leads a coalition to aid farmers in lobbying and getting public attention for the rual population of India was a featured spokesman for this documentary. He stated that the indifference of the Indian government to the plight of the Indian farmer was a serious human rights violation and a deliberate act of genocide against the Indian people. In PBS’s vain attempt at depicting fairness in their reporting, they interviewed an Indian professor who advocated globalism, and has written extensively on the subject. As always with PBS documentaries, the viewer is left wondering if PBS is promoting globalism; while trying to persuede Americans, with a veiled attempt to support the current globalist agenda of authorized government genocide, and population control; as well as defend PBS’s U.S corporate sponsors outsourcing of American jobs, to aid the booming urban Indian economy, and fatten U.S corporate profits.

What surprized me while I watched this program was the stoicism of the families . The harsh conditions they lived under , and the beauty and pride of these people as they stuggled against such desparate odds. Wether it was intended or not by the producer and director to show the sacred humanity of the rual Indian people, I do not know. Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder. Regardless of their intent the stark living conditions of rual India’s people were understood by the viewer. Some of the truth seemed to be well depicted, in relating the plight of 600 million people; who are trying desparately to exist, purely on faith and hope. However much to the detriment of this documentary, little or no mention was given to the religious or traditional beliefs of the Indian people; except the witnessing of a cremation and funeral of one of the victims of suicide. The resolve , stoicism and circumstances of these families would have been better understood had the report mentioned the cultural and religious beliefs of reincarnation and Hinduism amongst India’s people, or asked the widows and families about their faith. The documentary also neglected to mention the deplorable cast system; that still dominates India’s society. The interviewer, also narrator of the documentary, had a distinct British accent. She notably left out any cultural references to economic or social influences; that might be attributed to the brutal British colonialisation of India for several centuries.

After watching the program , I began to feel appreciative of my own life and good fortune. I thought for a moment about why was I so much more fortunate; than these poor Indian farmers, or poor people anywhere ? I am not rich, I am not connected to a wealthy family. I do not have connections to the elite of American society. I am an average man, who had the good fortune of being born in the United States, to middle class parents; who were well educated, and were allowed to achieve their American dream. I had the good fortune of being born without physical or mental impairments or deformities. Why I wondered, have I been so blessed; while others are so unfortunate ? Perhaps I will never understand the imbalance of the Universe. I am certain however; that all globalist policies of government sponsored genocides, by mass military murder, the deliberate infection of populations with man made diseases, and political policies leading to devastating global economic and environmental conditions , that create massive sarvation, suicidal desparation, and the economic enslavement of billions of people, can not and must not be tollerated by anyone, anywhere, under any conditions.

GONZO IS GONE

GONZO IS GONE
8/27/07

I can recall only one other Attorney General as bad or worse than Alberto Gonzo Gonzales in my lifetime his name was John Mitchell, Attorney General for Richard Nixon. His crimes got him jail time. He also was noted as a wife beater. His wife Martha Mitchell was responsible for cracking the Watergate scandal when she revealed to the media that her husband drugged her and put her in a closet to try to keep her quiet. I think Gonzo would have approved of that method, since he approved of the torture at Abu Gharib and Guantanamo.

It’s a good thing that Gonzo has resigned. Unfortunately he has escaped justice by resigning and refusing to testify before Congress. Dubya will declare executive priviledge to keep him from testifying, and then pardon him if he needs to. Too bad the Congress doesn’t have the courage to go after him and impeach Dubya at the same time.

It’s interesting to note that whoever replaces Gonzo will probably be another Bush Buddy, maybe Harriet Meirs . Without a doubt it will be a joke of an appointment. It will be someone who will legally authorize Dubya to execute his political enemies and declare Marshall Law. We all thought Gonzo and Ashcroft were bad. Wait for the next Dubya Attorney General. He or she will make Ashcroft and Gonzo look good. Our contemptable congress is as useless as a drain pipe in a six year drought. The chances of Dubya appointing a decent and competent Attorney General to replace Gonzo is virtually nill.

So Hip Hip Hurray, Gonzo is finally gone, tossed into the trash heap along with every other G.W Bush appointee since 2000. Rove is leaving in September, Gonzo is gone , Rumsfeld is gone, Libby is gone, practically every original member of the G.W Bush administration has been replaced and left under a cloud of scandal. A truly remarkable legacy. Now if G.W and Dick Cheney could be trampled over by a stampeding herd of congressional cattle, proded by the total outrage and disgust of the American people, the United States and it’s constitution might have a chance at surviving the next few years.

AM I SOCIALLY CONSCIOUS ENOUGH?

AM I SOCIALLY CONSCIOUS ENOUGH?
8/21/07

It occured to me the other day that, I did not know who the latest American Idol was, I haven’t seen SICKO yet, I haven’t seen Bourne Ultimatum,(though I want to). I haven’t heard anything about Paris Hilton since she got out of jail. I began to wonder if I was a socially irresponsible American, because I was not well informed on these popular news items and events.

I don’t think I’ve been socially unaware, I know of many popular news items . They just may not be the most current pop news items, like the name of the murdered actress in the Phil Spector murder trial, or all the movie stars who got married this year, or what Spice’s real name is. I know about many things I think are more important, but for some reason most of the people in the media and most people in general, don’t pay as much attention to them.

People want what will make them happy, or more money, or what attracts more attention , they want excitment, or scandal, or rumor, or sports competitions, and need tabloid news to break up the monotany of their day. I can’t help but look at the tabloids in the supermarket. Their headlines often read: “GUESS WHO THIS IS?” Printed across a front page picture of a sagging rear end in a bikini. I enjoy the photos of G.W Bush talking to aliens, or a photo of the famous Rat Boy, or G.W’s twin brother Chimpanzie. Tabloids always mention the prophets and prophecies of doom. Some stated the world would end a few years ago. I remember 1999 tabloids were screaming 2000 was Dooms Day in every issue. Pop and tabloid news is fun, mindless,and an ongoing source of questions and answers for the “inquisitive mind wanting to know.” I may suffer from popular news fatigue, but I can’t blame myself or anyone,who doesn’t know the names of all the cast members in the Simpsons or The Family Guy cartoons.

I’m as interested as the next guy for a wild story. The wilder the story the better I like it. Like Big foot or Alien invasions, or Bush’s twin chimpanzie. The woman with 10 fingers on her feet and 8 toes on her hands. I believe I am socially responsible, since I’ve never bought a tabloid newpaper. They always say more than I want to know about their feature stories, by the headlines and pictures on the front page. Often when I open a tabloid newspaper or magazine to find the feature article I’m interested in,I have to look through the entire paper to find it, and it is only a paragraph long,with the same picture they used on the front page. I’m grateful that Ruppert Murdock doesn’t own the National Enquirer , or the Star , or the Globe yet. If he ever does own them, I won’t know what newspapers to trust anymore.

MADNESS AND MEMORY: A POLITICAL PERSPECTIVE

MADNESS AND MEMORY: A POLITICAL PERSPECTIVE
8/12/07

I was cleaning out my office yesterday trying to make sense of and organize a thousand news articles I’ve collected over the last two years; that I’ve read on my radio shows. The thought occured to me, while I was mulling over the millions of words and memories of the last two years; that either I have gone completely mad trying to bring all of this alternative news and over 100 interviews to my listeners , readers and viewers, or the world is completely mad.

I didn’t realize until yesterday, how much information I have covered over the last few years. This doesn’t include the several thousand other articles I’ve collected from 2003-2005. Articles from almost every major newspaper and and major website in the world. This mad attempt to bring relevant and current information to the public is truly insane. I am not certain how I do it. I just do it. My delivery may be good, bad or mediocre, but it does get the information out .

As I waded through hundreds of articles on the 2006 elections, I felt a strong sense of deja vue. I realized that nothing has changed, the politicians are all talking the same game. Out of Iraq, Stay in Iraq, Support for Israel, Immigration, Healthcare, Education, Ethics and Finance Reform, Corruption, etc,etc. The 2007 mainsteam media election articles could have easily been rewrites of the 2006 articles, even the 04 articles, except for one great relief; that John Kerry hasn’t been mentioned anywhere since 2005. He has become totally irrelevant to the media, to the U.S public and even his own constituents. No one wants to hear from him or about him. He only provokes thoughts of cynicism and disgust.

All the 2006 Republican scandals have managed to fade away, as has the Republican Party. Mit Romney just won the Iowa Straw Poll yesterday. Woopie! Guiliani, McCain and practically everyone else didn’t even enter. Iowa is irrelevant to everyone; except to a few thousand Iowans, who actually vote in the straw poll. It may also be relevant to a few Iowa farm animals, with names like Betsie or Marybell or Daisy . So Mit Romney can be very proud of his Iowa straw victory. He spent 2 million dollars to win it. If 2000 people actually voted in the poll, Romney paid one thousand dollars for each vote, regardless if they voted for him or not. Does this say anything about the relevance of Romney’s candidacy, or the relevance of Iowa, or even the relevance of the U.S political system ?

Getting an accurate historical perspective on the past two or three years by being in the media, creates a unique form of madness; that few can relate to unless they are in the same business. It appears, from this odd perspective, that nothing except the people in the news change. All that changes are names and places. The events and crimes and wars and strategies, corporate and government incompetence, and conpiracies are all the same. Money, sex, power, drugs, corruption, protests, revolutions, murder, elections, robberies, kidnappings, molestations, accidents, weather, and animal and human interest stories. This is what we talk about, this is what the news is , this is what the world is . It always seems interesting , it always seems new, it always seems senseless, it always seems the same. Remarkable isn’t it ?

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting to achieve different results. I guess that is what the news is. I keep looking for something different to report, something that might spark a glimse of hope or understanding of the human condition and the world. Something that might make sense to me and to my listeners. Something that might give us hope, inspire us to see beyond the madness and mayham that encroach our consiousness and impede our sanity. Once and a while I achieve that in my reporting of certain news. Sometimes I achieve that in my interviews with my guests. This is why I continue doing what I do. It is because I believe what I am doing is getting positive results. I may very well be mad for continuing to prospect for gold in the harsh and arid environment of censored and sound bite media, and inaccurate news reporting, but my rewards are very personal, and the achievements are individual, my expectations are high, and possibly greater than my talents to inform the public. However I feel a need to continue. I feel a need to wonder and research and find the answers to the continual questions I have. It may be madness, but so is swimming in sub zero temperatures for fun, or spending billions on space flights to Mars, or murdering millions of innocent people in the name of Democracy, or having G.W Bush as President of the U.S, and leader of the free world.

WHAT MAKES IT ALL WORK ?

WHAT MAKES IT ALL WORK ?
8/7/07

I’ve had so many successes and failures in my life that I can’t begin to count them. Most successes were small,yet some were very significant. Every time I fail at something I want to refer to some self help philosophy or inspirational quote, but they only serve as mild pain relievers for my open wound. Failure is inevitable if we think we might fail. I always admire and yet question anyone who says,”Failure is not an option.” Failure seems to be a universal, wanted or unwanted option for everyone.

When I look back at my successes I recognize a certain degree of luck was involved. Sometimes I’m convinced a certain degree of divine intervention may have played a hand. I always refer to these past experiences consciously or subconsciously, when I am working on present projects or planning future ones. .

Wise words of advice passed down to me by my father, and given to him by his father were; “Start small and think big.” There is great logic in that statement since most entrepreneurs start off with little money,but have big ideas. At least that is how I’ve started off all my ventures. Some ideas have been a little strange and couldn’t get off the ground, but others have led to successful results.

Of all the advice I’ve been given and success philosophies I ‘ve read over the many years, there are only a few that have remained with me. A few that I continue to use in my daily life with some success. They are the few gems and rare pieces of ore, that have become my most valuable finds, after many years of searching.

The first gemstone I discovered was Persistence. It has given me the unlimited collateral I’ve needed to endure many personal and financial hardships. My second most valuable find was a pure gold nugget of Optimism. It keeps me smiling and relatively happy most of the time. I may appear to some as a cynic and pessimistic, when I feel hopeless,or helpless, or angry. I’m normal in these areas. There is nothing special in my character or makeup to prove otherwise. I may get more angry than some people,but I’ve found that other people can get far more angry than I do over the same issues. I keep Optimism next to Persistence in my mind so I always know where they are when I need them.

My third and most valuable find is illusive, rare and truely priceless. That priceless find is Friendship. I realized long ago that friendships are what make the world go round. Strong friendships are the feeding vines to all successful ventures, in personal and business relationships. I have lost many friends and had long friendships abruptly ended. I have had business partners, wives, lovers, childhood and college friends, etc.. All were important to my personal development and many still are. What makes good friendships so illusive and rare are that they are not always in our control. Friends move away, they get angry at us, or we get angry at them, they get sick, or they die. Lasting friendship is the finest of all rare treasures, and is found only in very small quantities in the most remote regions of the world . Finding a lasting friendship is like finding a rare, multicolored and magnificent shell, washed ashore on an abandoned beach, amidst billions of grains of sand. Often times friendship can be found on remote beach heads after violent storms, or at the top of a summit, or exploring deep, unmapped forests, or torrid,barren deserts.

Rare gems of friendship have great magicial powers, to influence , confuse, or guide us safely through our lives. They cannot be possessed,nor can they possess anyone. Friends never conform to our lowest or highest standards. They have standards of their own. They inspire and encourage . They may disappear for many years and reappear, when we least expect them to. They can become lost to us,as we can become lost to them.

What makes things work is Persistence, Optimism and Friendship. All three working together in unison toward a worthy goal, guarantees anyone’s success and eliminates any option of failure.

A BRIDGE COLLAPSE THAT DESTROYED AMERICAN TELEVISION NEWS

A BRIDGE COLLAPSE THAT DESTROYED AMERICAN TELEVISION NEWS
8/05/07

I feel as sorry as the next guy for what happened to the people of Minnesota and the bridge collapse . To have 24 -7 coverage of it on every television news outlet in America, and the BBC, for 4 solid days is a travesty and complete collapse of responsible television news coverage.

It is contemptable to me that so little attention was given to the Congress passing the Wiretap bill, and ten million people of India being rendered homeless because of monsoon flooding, or that the massive floodings in England are receiving such little news coverage. Also does anyone in the main stream news media,especially the television networks remember;that the U.S is still at war with Iraq and Afghanistan? Does anyone care, except Aljazeera and the civilizations of the Middle East, that 50 percent of Iraqis are currently living in abject poverty and Baghdad, as of last week is completely without water? Does anyone in the U.S media care, that a million Iraqis have been killed since 2003, or that it was recently announced by the GAO, that the war in Iraq and Afghanistan will have cost over 1 trillion dollars by next year, at the current rate of spending? Does anyone in the network news media care that the Iraqis parliment has taken a 6 week vacation; after having accomplished nothing for over three years to establish a stable government in Iraq? Does anyone in the media care that 75 -150 American soldiers are being killed each month in Iraq? Does anyone give a damn that the Minnesota tragedy and Paris Hilton, Lindsey Lohan , Nicole Richie, and Harry Potter have dominated nearly 90 percent of the network news programs in the last three months ?

I believe that network news is a complete and absolute farce. Let’s watch Katie Couric cross her legs and flirt at the camera; while all the other networks find cuter , younger , more fluffy headed and mascara laiden reporters to bring the network news to even greater levels of complete worthlessness. If all they are trying to accomplish is getting higher ratings, then they should just do more entertainment news, with bikini clad news readers made up like porno queens and forget the pretense of being real news programs.

Does anyone in the U.S media give a damn that Rupert Murdock has just been approved to own the Wall Street Journal? Does anyone care that the Wall Street Journal will soon look like and read like the NY Daily News or the New York Post? Maybe everyone thinks it’s a good thing? Maybe it will be an improvement? Now the Journal Report is on Fox News. Maybe that is where it always belonged?

The handwriting is on the walls scrawled in multi colored spray paints. Network television news in America has become nothing more than obscene graffiti, spray painted on our television screens. The written press under the ownership of Murdock and other like minded moguls have reduced American journalism to sensational tabloid news framed in advertizing copy, splattered on billboards and banners,pasted to the sides of buses and high rise buildings, throughout every town and city in the United States.

Let’s all Dance with the Stars, and sing with the newest American Idol, get down with Homer Simpson and the Family Guy, and elect our next president by Nielson ratings instead of going to the polls to vote. Voter fraud on American Idol or Dancing with the Stars is a far greater crime according to the American media, than Republican or Democratic voter fraud in the national elections. Serial killers and child molestors receive far more media blame and attention, and public condemnation; than the monsterously corrupt , mass murdering sponsors of genocide, George W. Bush , Dick Cheney and all other ongoing brutal dictators around the world sponsoring genocide.

As the networks gear up for another month of Minnesota bridge construction meetings, and interviews with retired bridge engineers, and survivors of the bridge collapse and their families,the Bush administration will be conspiring to set off another pseudo terrorist attack, and veto important legislation, and claim executive priviledge to protect his corrupt and lying Atty General and close advisors, so they can continue to steal more American treasure and freedoms. Bush and Cheney cronies in Haliburton and Bechtel and all other Bush embraced defense contractors, are greedily eyeing the latest congressional approved defense budget of 480 billion dollars. Where is the reporting? Where are the investigations of war profiteers? Where are the investigations and impeachment proceedings for G.W Bush and Dick Cheney? Where the hell are the real reporters, real journalists, real men and women of professional integrity and commitment to honest,accurate and courageous reporting?

Network journalism is a hustler’s game. Hustlers and Hucksters all pushing for their one minute of fame in primetime, to advance careers and ratings into multi million dollar salaries and corporate earnings. Real journalists have never been in the mainstream media. Real jounalists are now writing and broadcasting in small newspapers, producing independent documentaries, writing for their own and other web sites. They are reporting their investigations and are berated, criticized and ignored by the mainstream media,as liars or as bloggers of questionable credentials. At the same time mainstream media reporters are stealing the credit and plagerizing stories from these same journalists they discredit. Nationally syndicated columnists also steal from small sites and bloggers to meet their own syndicated columns deadlines.

The American mainstream media is dead. It was not murdered, nor did it die from natural causes, it committed suicide. All that remains of whatever it was is a skeleton with an aged and sagging body and cratered face, masked for television cameras by botox,cosmetic surgery,and $1500 dollar a day makeup artists.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT FOR THE MURDERERS OF THE PETIT FAMILY

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT FOR THE MURDERERS OF THE PETIT FAMILY
7/29/07

I have supported capital punishment for many cases and lenience for others. I have grappled with this issue for many years and have been on the opposing side of capital punishment, as well as in favor of it for certain cases. Several years ago I wrote an article,now in my archives, entitled Tookie vs. The Terminator regarding the Tookie Williams execution.

The recent murders in Cheshire Ct. struck very close to home. I live in Connecticut, I know the town of Cheshire very well. I was a partner in a Real Estate appraisal firm with our office in downtown Cheshire. My weekly television program is seen in that area. My long time friend and insurance broker has her office in Cheshire, Ct. . I owned a home in Southington, Ct. for 15 years, and had my real estate and finance company located in Southington, Ct.; which is the adjacent town to Cheshire,Ct.. What was not mentioned in the news reports about Cheshire Ct. is, that Cheshire has one of the oldest and largest Correctional Facilities in Connecticut. Many Cheshire residents are employees of the prison. I found it very interesting, that the prison has not been mentioned on any of the local or national news programs. I haven’t seen any reports on what prison the two paroled convicts were from, who murdered the Petit family.

Cheshire is an upscale middleclass community, in Central Ct.. Several national celebrities live or have lived in Cheshire. Cheshire has a large industrial park and is the home of several major international companies. It also has a large Pratt and Whitney facility, that employs several thousand employees. It is within short commuting distance from New Haven and Waterbury, two major Connecticut cities. The Petit family massacre is the worst crime ever committed in the Cheshire community and perhaps the state of Connecticut.

Many have read or heard of this horrific crime against the Petit family by now. I was as appalled by this news as anyone might be. I can only imagine the horrible grief suffered by Dr. Petit. I came close to tears, when I watched him say a few hard spoken words of love and loss at the service attended by over 2000 people , given by the Cheshire community to honor his murdered wife and two daughters. Dr. Petit had a gapping red scar from his forehead to his chin , caused by the blow to his head by the two murderers, who struck him with a baseball bat and left him for dead in his basement.

I can not begin to imagine what I would be feeling now if I were Dr. Petit. I know how I feel as a sympathic well wisher. I know how I feel as a human being, who has heard of this barbaric and insane act of inhuman cruelty. I know how I would feel as a juror in the trial of these murderers. It wouldn’t take me one minute to deliver a guilty verdict and death penalty to the murderers of the Petit family. Forgiveness or leniency in a case of this horrific magnitude would be a miscarriage of justice.

The United States is one of the only industrialized countries to still allow capital punishment. The state of Connecticut is one of a few states remaining that enforce the Death Penalty for heinous crimes. We are a nation of extremely aggressive people. We are a nation of laws and good will, however we are also a nation of serious intollerance,when it comes to madmen and murderers of the degree of the two men who murdered,raped and burned the bodies of the Petit family. The Petit sisters died of smoke inhalation. The 11 and 17 year old sisters were brutally raped and forced to witness their mother being raped and strangled, while believing their father had also been murdered and was lying dead in the basement. How could anyone with an honest sense of justice consider any other punishment for these two murderers of the Petit family other than death?

If the American people can condone the rendition treatment of guilty or innocent suspected terrorists sent to Uzbekistan to be flayed,then boiled in oil, why should we be anymore lenient towards the murderers of the Petit family? Hanging or lethal injection is too humane for their murderers. Let’s be real with each other,most Americans still believe in western justice; especially in cases like the murderers of the Petit family. I am well aware the crime was committed in New England, however no one should forget that New Englanders use to burn witches at the stake, and looked forward to an indian massacre or two. Today we Americans consider ourselves more sophisticated, more civilized and less primitive than our ancestors. We prefer to outsource all of our wars and dirty work to third world countries. Our federal government has banned public executions, but that doesn’t mean Americans wouldn’t have them if they still could. America didn’t get to be America by passive citizens or passive leaders. America was built on blood and guts and hard justice. Americans may have forgotten that, but we are soon reminded of it, when confronted with a case like the murder of the Petit family.

SPELLING SUKS!

SPELLING SUKS!
7/17/07

It is probbly obious to man-y that speling is not my fort-eah. Belive it or nott I was the champion speller in my fifth grade class. U probbebly are wondering what happened to me. Yrs of self abuse, lack of spell checks, and advanced cynility have brought me to the present miss spelling championships.

Whn wll I evr get better at it? I receive many emails during the course of a week and most writers spell well. But often I get a few that are really terrible. Either they are dashed off in a hurry or the writer thought he was spelling everything Korrectlly. I have a freiend who mixes up his the with teh or his ei with ie or his and with snds. I remember I before E except after C. But that’s not always korrect. Like cinema . Who ever created the spelling of the English language was a sado masochrist.

GREED

GREED
7/16/07

I have never had a dislike for money, nor have I had a problem with people who have large amounts of money. The only problem I have encountered with people and money is, when the need to have more and more money is an obsession.

Greed affects the rich and poor alike. I know poor and rich people who are greedy. Greed is a nasty vice worse than any addictive craving. Greed is a vice that breeds filth, misery and pettyness. It breeds hatred and jealousy. It destroys the human spirit and creates misers and miserable, mean spirited people.

I always laugh at the thrift store shopper, who drive up to the store in a late model car. Greedy people do not like to spend money. They like to keep their money. It gives them a sense of power to have money,yet a greedy person would never want anyone to know how much money they have. They would try to conceal it for fear it might arouse suspicion or that they might be found out and have to spend more of their money on something they were getting cheaply or for free. They can never afford anything if you ask them to do something that costs money. Then you have the other side of the same coin. The person who buys everything they could possibly want or need and gives nothing to anyone, and condemns all others less fortunate then they are, gives small tips or no tips at all and expects others to pay the tab. Many will wait 90 or 120 days before they pay a bill; then try to negotiate the bill down. Their money is their own and no one elses; even though they might have stolen it, or inherited it, or honestly earned it, they always feel a sense of entitlment.

Greedy people never bring anything to a party, or insist on going dutch on dates, or get everything used or discounted, clothing from a thrift shop, food from a food bank, or sold beyond the expiration date , or shop for dented cans. Spending money on toilet paper is an offense to all greedy people. Pay toilets are doubly offensive. I had a friend once, who told me his father in law was so cheap , “he would rather squeeze a quarter between his butt cheeks to hold back a bowel movement, than pay a quarter to use a pay toilet.” I didn’t believe him until I met his father in law. I met my friend’s father in law at a race track one afternoon many years ago. My friend drove a modified race car, and asked me to come see the race. His father in law was in the stands with my friend’s wife and mother in law. As I sat down next to my friend’s wife her father asked me if I had a quarter. From what I had heard of him I thought he was charging me for the seat next to his daughter. She blushed embarrassingly and told her father to be quiet. The old man said he couldn’t hold it any longer, and needed a quarter to go to the pay toilet. His daughter opened her purse and gave him a quarter. He left his seat in a hurry blaming his immediate need on the bad, over priced, stadium hotdog he had just eaten.

I once knew a builder who was notoriously cheap and known for cutting corners. He would always undercut his competitors by several thousands of dollars. His houses were thrown together cheaply, yet he always had customers. He drove an old two tone Ford station wagon with his company name on the driver and passenger side doors. He always dressed in overalls and a flannel shirt. In summer he would wear a white tee shirt and overalls. His customers always liked him before and while their houses were being built, then they hated him after they moved in. He lost his contractor’s license after every new homeowner in one subdivision he had built sued him. He was known by everyone as being very wealthy, but kept all his money in his wife’s name.

I decided to write about greed because I was watching the Money Report on television, and saw these arrogant,smirking,greed driven,rich guys, saying, they loved the Bull market, and 40 percent of all consumer spending in the U.S is on luxury items, high oil prices do not effect the wealthy one percent, who have over 50 percent of the wealth in the U.S. One particularly arrogant, self loving , “I love money. More money is a good thing. I love capitalism, I love it!” Everyone at the table knodded their heads in agreement. I had to wonder how hard each of them squeezed a quarter.

A Book Review of “The Freedom”, and interview with author Christian Palenti

A Book Review of “The Freedom”, and interview with author Christian Palenti
7/11/07

I interviewed Christian Palenti last night on my radio show. Christian is an author and journalist who writes regularly for the Nation and other sundry “liberal” magazines. We discussed his book THE FREEDOM which was an autobiographical account of his exploits as an embedded reporter in Iraq at the outset of the Iraq War. It was a very good account of the chaos and insanity that runs rampant in the war zone.

He captured the essence of the madness of war , however it was rather a two dementional accounting of what occurred in 2003; describing the insanity of circumstances that led up to the war, which has continued into it’s 5th year and escalated to apocalytic propoportions. THE FREEDOM takes an authoritive journalistic approach at decribing the excessive heat and dangerous conditions suffered by the soldiers and journalists, who report from the battle zones. THE FREEDOM was a fair and accurate word picture, framed with insights,observations and candid interviews.

My basic concern in our interview was Mr. Palenti’s insistence, that G.W Bush and his bungling administration, were the only people to blame for the living nightmare of Iraq. Mr. Palenti seemed to hold firm to the niave ideal, that there is no greater entities behind the Presidential throne or the Congress. My question is, how can anyone who has seen first hand the mass destruction of a country, documented the looting and grand scale theft and destruction of an entire civilizaton, not be able to piece together the conclusions, that are obvious to millions of Americans an billions of people around the world. OIL, EMPIRE, PROFITEERING, MASSIVE MILITARY BUILDUP, REGIME CHANGE, PREEMPTIVE STRIKE, GLOBAL DOMINATION BY THE ELITIST GLOBALIST NEW WORLD ORDER, NEOCON, ZIONIST INVOLVEMENT and THE MEDIA , THE CHRISTIAN RIGHT APOCALYLPTIC INFLUENCES IN THE BUSH GOVERNMENT AND MILITARY; then say with conviction ,that one flaming idiot named G.W Bush had the ability to get elected and reelected without the massive election manipulations of the power elite, that control both American political parties. How can a journalist who writes for the Nation, a well known left leaning , globalist owned Zionist operated national magazine, not be part of the globalist coverup and massive misdirection propaganda campaigns led by all factions of the U.S government and its militaristic, fascist, corporate puppeteers?

Mr. Palenti is a working journalist who is regularly published in mainstream magazines. I understand if a journalist wishes to survive in this corporately owned and operated propaganda pushing, main stream media, he must constantly look the other way and write what they will buy. He must lead his readers to the threshold of truth, then close the door behind him. This is the way of mainstream journalism. I and millions of others who distain and distrust the system understand how the media works.

These are the globalist trained and indoctrinated embedded journalists, who gain their fame and fortune in a mind controlled haze of reality. I liked Mr. Palenti. I found him very personable and intelligent. I found his book to be interesting and worth the time to read it. But I hope Mr. Palenti will one day use his outstanding talents as a writer, to open that tightly closed door of the controlled media, and allow the sunshine and fresh air of honesty into the sealed vaults of suppressed truth.

THE LIVE EARTH CONCERT,WHO IS IT REALLY BENEFITING?

THE LIVE EARTH CONCERT,WHO IS IT REALLY BENEFITING ?
7/05/07

Does it bother anyone that multi millions of dollars will be made by the Live Earth Concert promoters and the musicians on seven continents, promoting their paranoia of global warming, as the most important issue facing the survival of the planet? I am certain many people aren’t bothered by this and many are eager to watch it. In fairness it is a good thing to promote less global pollution. However climate change is inevitable and a part of the planetary evolution. World wide wars using depleted uranium, bio and chemical weapons are never mentioned by Mr. Gore as the most serious global problem. Nor does he mention the mass injections of the AIDS virus disguised as immunizations given to third world populations. Mr. Gore will never mention the Black Op global weather modification operations creating droughts,floods and irratic weather patterns, designed to deliberately destroy entire regions of continents,to achieve globalist goals of population control and the theft of natural resources. (refer to Agenda 21 and Global 2000 available on Google search)

Al Gore has jumped on an issue that has no man made solution, but will serve to fleece the world and add greatly to good old Al’s pockets. All proceeds of these concerts go to the Alliance for Climate Protection, a non profit chaired by none other than Al Gore. It is similar to George Bush’s war on global terrorism. G.W and his family and friends are reaping vast fortunes in arms sales through global military buildups. The Carlyle group founded by G.H.W Bush , and other notables as the Bin Laden family and members of former Reagan and Bush I administrations’ cabinet members, is one of the world’s most ambitious and politically connected arms merchants. Dick Cheney’s Haliburton is the world’s largest war profiteer . Al Gore’s multi million dollar family trust, gained by oil revenues, has invested heavily in Green energy and nuclear energy as well as fossil energy. Al Gore is also the spokesman for a major Hedge fund investing in utilities and green energy of the future. Jebb Bush left the Florida governorship to enter into a large investment group devoted to ethanol production. G.W Bush in his State of the Union Address stated; that he wanted a major private and government investment in ethanol and other sources of clean energy. Since then the price of corn has nearly tripled, third world countries whose people are dependent on corn as a food staple, are facing rapidly rising corn prices, also the rising price is greatly effecting farmers and ranchers; who feed corn to their livestock. This sudden interest in “Green”fuel all leads to world wide currency inflation, caused by commodities speculation on oil and corn, also other crops that can create bio fuels. The rising costs of staples is leading to starvation, civil unrest, and greater global military interventions by the U.S and other countries’ militaries and U.N forces. This will serve to strengthen the world’s demand for massive arms sales to supply militaries, and for a buildup of a large permanent global military. (One of the primary goals of the New World Order)

War takes the greatest toll on the planetary population. Wars cause disease and starvation. Wars cause massive pollution through waste and military buildups and profiteering. Wars cause massive migrations of refugees and the abandonment of entire cities and villages. War causes most of humanity’s suffering and much of the global pollution by the deliberate distruction of homes, forests, natural resources, and agricultural land. Currently in Iraq and Afghanistan millions of rounds of depleted uranium bullets have been fired . Not only have they caused the immediate deaths of hundreds of thousands of insurgents, soldiers and civilians in these countries it has also polluted the land and water and air with radioactivity. Recent reports from Iraq claim the Tigris and Euphrates rivers , the origins of human civilization , are devastingly polluted with human and animal bodies, toxic chemicals and human waste, due to destroyed sewer systems and massive carnage. Official estimates have been reported stating; that the radioactive pollution alone throughout Iraq, will take upwards of 5 to 10 thousand years to neutralize. The greatest threat to the Iraqis people next to being killed by the war itself, is the vast number of birth defects and deformities being caused by the direct effects of radiation on the Iraqis population from depleted uranium. (See Beyond Treason .com)

The Live Earth Concert scheduled for this weekend 7/7/07, is nothing more than an attempt to persuade the world to look away from the real causes of the destruction of the planet. The concert is designed to make heros of Al Gore and all the other “concerned” world celebrities; who are greatly profiting from the proposed Greening of the Globe . Those who will profit by this Live Earth Concert are; Al Gore and his Alliance for Climate Protection, the world wide corporate advertizers, and the promoters of musical artists and music companies , NBC, and globalist spokesmen, who will have a world wide audience to promote their Globalist Agenda. It will be interesting to note who the sponsors of the concert are. I can see sponsors such as oil companies, auto companies, tire companies, Green Financial Groups, Jebb Bush’s ethanol company, Monsanto, Dupont, the U.S military,world mining companies. It’s also interesting to note that NBC is the network broadcasting the concert. NBC’s parent company is General Electric, one of the worlds leading weapons manufacturers, and one of the leading corporate polluters on the planet. GE has been cited by EPA reports and independent environmental organizations,as being responsible for two thirds of all the brownfields in the United States, and as one of the largest global polluters.

An optimistic estimate of two billion people will watch the Live Earth Concert broadcasted from seven continents. As of today a Brazilian judge has cancelled the concert in Rio due to the lack of security available to handle the large crowds that were expected to attend. The Rio concert was the only free concert of the seven. It is surprizing that they cancelled. Brazil is the leading ethanol producer in the world and the only country that has achieved energy self sufficency. The Guardian a British newspaper, recently exposed that Brazil had recently staged a raid that freed 1108 debt slaves from one sugar cane plantation . Large sugar cane plantations use thousands of slave laborers to harvest the sugar cane, used primarily in the production of ethanol. Brazil has a special agency in their Labor Ministry specifically to combat this wide spread slavery problem.

Green Energy comes at a severe human cost not mentioned in the paranoia promoting presentations of Al Gore and other notable “Green”celebrities. The Live Earth Concert is simply another globalist distraction to keep world attention away from the real polluters and profiteers. I will be one of the 5 billion people in the world, who will not watch the concert this weekend. I will also be one of the few, but growing numbers of people in the world, who will not endorse Mr. Gore’s Green Globalist plans for greater restrictions of individual freedoms, the promotion of mass starvation , global debt slavery, and globally orchestrated distractions used to deflect world attention away from the planet destroying actions of the gluttonous profiteers of fear; who are the real menaces to the future of humanity.

IT’S THE FOURTH OF JULY IN THE SKY WHEN WE DIE.

IT’S THE FOURTH OF JULY IN THE SKY WHEN WE DIE.
7/4/07

I use to enjoy the Fourth of July. I looked forward to it. In my past patriotic fervor I would wear my flag tee shirt and have a grand old day with plenty of beer and burgers and the national anthem. That was when I was much younger and dumber, and deeper in debt.

Today as I reflect on the spirit of the United States, the recent release of Scooter Libby, the attack and insult on American pride and spirit and the spilling of American blood in Iraq and Afghanistan and all the other ongoing imperialistic conflicts around the world, I am saddened and sorry that I allowed myself to be so duped into believing that my country was the greatest in the world. I always wanted to believe, that America was a great society and filled with noble ideals. I always wanted to believe that we as a people could overcome all adversities and enemies and had the potential to truly be the greatest society, that has ever existed in the history of the world. I always wanted to believe that.

I don’t believe that anymore. I now believe that we are no better or worse than any other industrialized society. We are no better or worse than any other people. The fourth of July is just another day of the year in the empire. As long a we still have the criminals G.W Bush and Dick Cheney in the White House and hundreds of traitors in the Congress, and thousands in government service,a corrupt judicial system and hundreds of thousands of our troops illegally invading and occupying other countries, the people of the United States have nothing to be proud of, nothing to celebrate.

Last night I could hear the BOOM,BOOM,BOOM, AND RATA-TAT-TAT of a string of large and small fireworks, that sounded like bombs dropping and machine gun firing . I thought of how unnerving the sounds were. I thought of what the millions of people in Iraq and Afghanistan are enduring, because of U.S aggression towards them. The deadly noise and bombing and murder every minute of every day . Seeing dead and ripped apart bodies on every street corner. Enduring fear and poverty and oppression, because of the U.S troop invasions of their countries. I imagined the horror of seeing children raped and murdered,depleted uranium bullets ripping apart their skulls and flesh. I imagined the constant sound of low flying American made military planes and helicopters, and the sound of American made explosions of missles and bombs. The sounds of American boots and rifle butts kicking in the front and back doors of houses, the screams and moans of thousands of innocent victims being slaughtered for the sake of empire, and the oil that lies miles under the vast expanses of desert sands.

I will not watch any Fourth of July festivities this year, live or televised. I will not grill hamburgers, or wear my old flag tee shirt. I will try not to think about the United States today. I will have a beer or two. I will take a walk, without fear of being killed. I may take a ride, without fear of being stopped and shot, or imprisoned. I have written this article without fear of being arrested, and without fear of being tortured. I will host my radio show tonight and tomorrow night and Friday night without fear of being shut down , or censored, or having my home broken into and my being renditioned to a secret torture chamber in an eastern european country. I will be at peace today without great fears of sudden death by a bomb or bullet, or being grabbed off the street, or driving over an IED, or seeing my neighbors and friends bodies, or body parts, strewn throughout the neighborhood, or their homes being bombed or looted, and the men being shot, and their wives and children raped and brutalized. I know that I am relatively safe; because I am an established white male, in a small town, living legally in the United States of America, but with the constant erosion of American liberties under G.W. Bush’s Administration and the current congress and Patriot Act, how much longer will Americans have their freedoms and safety?

ON THE WRONG SIDE OF EVERYTHING

ON THE WRONG SIDE OF EVERYTHING
7/1/07

Since I was very young I have always gravitated to the wrong side of everything. My friends were always the wrong friends, my fashion was always the wrong thing to wear, my words were always the wrong thing to say,and my ways of thinking or solving problems was not considered by others as the right way.

I have always been outspoken and opinionated. Anything that didn’t sound right, or look right, or feel right to me, I had to investigate or make a comment on. I was always the guy who felt for the underdog in a fight, and would often attempt to equalize the fight. Usually once a defender comes to someone’s defense the bully or the group back off. But this attitude and impulse of mine has often been costly to me both socially and physically. Though in retrospect I don’ t think I would have done anything differently, except try to be less impulsive in a confrontation. I’m working on that.

I am not as tollerant today as I once was. As a kid I often accepted what authority figures would tell me without questioning their authority. I didn’t know enough to combat them verbally or intellectually, so I would remain silent and too often reluctantly follow their advice or follow their orders. This would always seem to warrant a reprimand or an insult from a teacher or parent, or some other adult, who would say, I was too slow, or too obstinate, or that I just didn’t care.

It took some time for me to develop the confidence, experience and knowledge to realize, that many of these authority figures were not always very intelligent, or they were bluffing , or they were down right liars and cheats. As I grew up I discovered that many adults were bigoted, mean , insensitive, and in many instances absolutely stupid.

I was with a good friend of mine last night and we spoke as two wrong siders would speak. We compared notes and spoke of the latest 911 evidence, we spoke of chemtrails and weather modifications, we spoke of political corruption, we spoke of globalism and illegal immigration. We spoke of everything most people don’t speak of. The one thing that we both understand well and what bonds us is our understanding of how very slow the general public is in catching on, to what is going on right in front of them. They refuse to see the subtle inferences of manipulation all around them, the obvious signs of mass mind control, and propaganda techniques. The deliberate poisoning of the air and food and water by our own government and major corporations, for profit and population control (google Agenda 21 or Global 2000). The general public does not see the Matrix they live in. They do not research, or read, or listen to anyone, who gives an opposing view of the official government stance on an issue, or the bought off and censored opinions of the corporate and government controlled media.

Wrong siders like my friend and I often get frustrated by what we see and hear, but we are extremely grateful to the many authors, and documentary film makers, and other wrong siders like ourselves. People who insist that the world hear opposing views, and be made aware of the truth of both sides of issues, and use their minds as they were created to be used; instead of allowing political parties, main stream news outlets, government, educational and religious dictates, dogma, and propaganda, to destroy through fear and atrophy their remaining gray matter.

We may insult many people with our statements however, truth is often insulting to those who have believed lies. Truth is often disturbing and politically incorrect. Truth is what wrong siders seek. Truth is our guide and our goal. We try to teach all who will watch, listen to, or read our work. Keeping silent is not our way. No one can teach by remaining silent. No one can change themselves or their society by remaining silent. Truth is compelling, it is all consuming, it is life changing , and it is difficult to discover.

I thank my friend and other friends and truth teachers; who have cared enough and thought enough of me to share their discoveries with me. I thank all the writers and film makers and lecturers and journalists and people of integrity and honesty and seekers of truth; who like myself have always been on the wrong side. I know that they and I are truly on the right side, as so often the truth seems to be with us. All the truth seekers through out history were first considered to be on the wrong side. All the greatest philosophical , technical and educational achievements of mankind were created and achieved by men and women who were criticized , ridiculed, hated and condemned and considered by the general public to be wrong siders. I thank all wrong siders for their perseverance and convictions. I thank them all for their gifts to mankind. I praise them all with the highest compliment one individual can bestow on another individual. I wish for them to know, that their courage,talent, faith and foresight are appreciated and defended by many. All who are wrong siders like myself must know they are not alone, and there are millions like my friend and I, who are standing with you.

THE LONDON TERROR HOAX

THE LONDON TERROR HOAX
6/30/07

Everything English is an absolute bore even their stupid terror hoaxes. I can’t stand anything to do with Great Britain, even the damned British accent has become intollerable to me. As soon as I hear a British commentator on television or radio I turn the station. I can’t stand the British thing anymore. Their media is as phoney as their Queen and her grand prince puppies Harry and William.

It’s about time for this British infatuation by Americans to end. Why does it surprise anyone, that there would be a terror threat in London? Why should it surprise anyone they chose the week before the Fourth of July to create this media terror hoax, and one day before the Princes’ big concert in honor of their dead mother?( Diana was possibly killed by MI6, to coverup her pregnancy with Dodie Al Fiad.The recent threat may have served to remind the princes of their place.) Why is it a surprise, that this London terror hoax was created while the American people were reveling with pride over their unified and organized nationwide revolt against their own government, by vehemently opposing the globalist sponsored immigration bill? Does it really suprise anyone that our globalist controlled news media flooded the airwaves with this London bombing threat? It was a perfect non deadly way to make the American people quickly forget their victory. A bomb that didn’t go off. A bomb planted in a late model Mercedes Benz near a night club. ( Has anyone ever heard of Al Qaida using a late model Mercedes for a car bomb? They wouldn’t waste 50 or 60,000 dollars on a car they want to blow up. They would have sent a suicide bomber.)A nail bomb identical to the bombs built by MI6 (British Intelligence agency) to discredit and blame the IRA, was found planted in the car. The bomb was found in seconds after it was ignited, and within minutes after finding the bomb the British police announced it was an Al Qaida Islamic terrorist bomb, with there having absolutely no evidence to point to Al Qaida. BULL SHIT! The British MI6 terror plots are as boring and phoney and predictable, as their British accents and BBC news and mystery series.

The Beatle “Love” reunion, what is that all about? I wasn’t interested enough in the Beatles to tune in their interview with Larry King. I saw Yoko Ono in a press picture with a big white hat on standing with Paul and Ringo behind a white bass drum. I heard on some broadcast that she said, “Paul is a great man”. I guess that was the highlight of the interview. I read an article on my radio show recently; that was written by a rock guitarist,Ted Nugent stating, that two of Paul McCartney’s roadies told him they were fired for eating hamburgers. It appears that Paul McCartney doesn’t like people who eat meat. Cirque De Solai is using Beatle songs during their “LOVE” performances, but Micheal Jackson owns the rights to the Beatle Song Book? Are the remaining Beatles getting paid just to promote the circus? Why not? Since the death of John and George, Paul and Ringo have become circus acts.

I was very pleased to see Tony the Poodle step down as Prime Minister. But I was very disturbed to know that he has been installed by his globalist masters to become the middle east envoy to bring about a peace between Palestine and Israel. Who is better to bring peace to the war torn area; than one of the idiots who began the Iraq war and is the former leader of the country that occupied Palestine and set up Israel? G.W Bush will likely join him after he’s impeached.

Finally the boring British puppy princes have decided to honor their dead mother by having a six hour concert a few days before America’s Birthday celebration, at $90 dollars per ticket, all proceeds going to Diana’s favorite charities. (Land Mine Recovery?) I’m surprised they didn’t have it on the Fourth of July. Another distraction for Americans to remind them where they once came from, and to forget how much our founding fathers hated the British. For those who don’t know by now the English Government spies on their own people more than any other government in the world. They have cameras on every street corner and recently installed loud speakers, to tell anyone who gathers at a street corner, or is doing something the police consider suspicious, to break it up or move away or they will be arrested. A total police state.

Please don’t believe, that the recent Terror Hoax in London was real. It was a a phoney terror scare. A terror plot planted by the British Government, to scare their own people and to try and scare the American people. The American revolution was against the British Government, the most oppressive , imperialistic government the world had ever known since the Roman Empire. The British were responsible for the murder of countless millions of people around the world. We fought them successfully once and gained our independence. We must keep it.

George Orwell in the 1930’s , wrote about the future of a fictious England in his novel 1984. To date almost everything he stated has come true. I read a report by a leading English newspaper on my radio show recently, that stated substantial traces of Prozac and other mood alterating drugs were found throughout Great Britains major drinking water supplies. The article attributed the drugs found in the water to be from the excessive amount of these drugs taken by the British people, that was not being filtered out from the recycled sewer water. Anyone in their right mind would sooner believe, that the water is being drugged. U.S drinking water supplies are floridated. Floride was first used by the Nazis and added to Germany’s water supply,to deliberatly sedate the German population so they would not fight back or revolt against the Nazi take over. Propaganda, mass mind control,drugging the water supply and fear from terrorism, were all population control techniques perfected under the direction of Nazi Germany, and later refined and expanded upon by the English and American governments under the direction of the Tavistock Institute in London, England. The British took the Nazi techniques and broadened them into their occupied countries.

The Beatles and The Rolling Stones as well as the entire British music invasion was a planned and orchestrated black ops, mass mind control operation, originating from the Tavistock Institute. Would it surprise anyone to know that most of the music of the British musical invasion was written at the Tavistock Institute, by sophistocated musicians not the attributed artists. The most successful Boy Bands of the early ’60s were created at the Tavistock Institute. One last note of interest is that LSD was discovered by Tavistock scientists, and distributed by British and American agents throughout America and other industrialized countries given free to all who wanted it, on the streets and at rock concerts. Illegal drugs have always been one of the main economic staples of the British government. The British East India Company’s main cargo was opium . George Orwell’s father was a British customs officer assigned to the British East India Co. His sole job was to insure the safe passage and proper stamping of crates of opium from India and China. Is there any wonder why Afghanistan now after five years of U.S and British occupation, exports 90 percent of all the opium sold through out the world? This statistic is a quote from a recent U.N study released in June 2007. Knowing all of this, can anyone still love England?

GOOGLING PARIS HILTON

GOOGLING PARIS HILTON
6/29/07

I Googled Paris Hilton the other day and discovered to my amazement 6,040,000 results of her listed and exactly 6,000,000 results of G.W Bush. As remarkable as it is that Google would have 6 million mentions of either of them is insane,and proves the danger of Google’s ability to keep trillions of bits of information on everybody in the world, but the fact that Paris Hilton beats out G.W by 40,000 is even more insane.

It proves that infamy is far more interesting to the general public than mere fame. It also proves that Paris Hilton should run for President. Paris Hilton for President! Yes, I think I might be persuaded to go to the voting booth for that. Just imagine how interesting her State of the Union messages would be. I can see her shaking hands with all the horney politicos trying to cop a feel, as she strolls down the red carpet runway of the House of Representatives,in her latest night club ensemble, a long boa and sparkling see thru mini skirt, and of course without bra or panties.

I can picture the faces of Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi, green with jealousy and disgust. Hillary would probably boycott the speech, but old Bill recently hired as Paris’s new Presidential Consultant, wouldn’t miss it for the world. He would be in the front row drooling over and ogling President Paris, while giving spontanious standing ovations after every sentence Paris spoke.

I know there is a minimum age requirement for the presidency of 35, but since when has anyone in Congress or the Presidency paid attention to the law or Constitution? They were willing to amend the Constitution for Arnold S. to run for president as an Austrian born citizen.

I think Paris would make a great lady President. She has the looks, she has many supporters, she doesn’t seem to be overly intelligent, she has the right background. G.W was a party animal before he became president. Rumor has it he still is. He’s been arrested and convicted of DUI and was known to use cocaine.His family was extremely wealthly and part of the elite American nobility. She’s just as qualified as G.W Bush, even more so. George failed at every business he went into. Paris has been successful in every business venture. I think a Paris Hilton candidacy would be a great move forward for the country. Drugs would be legalized, all prisons would be glamorized and reformed, women’s prisons would offer courses in cosmotology and fashion design, and all drug addicts and DUI offenders would be granted house arrest. In the cases of homeless prisoners, they would be given shelter at renovated Hilton Halfway Hotels throughout the country. It’s a great idea! Paris Hilton for President on an Independent ticket. The Paris Hilton Party. If Joe Lieberman could have his own party why not Paris? She’s truly as qualified as any of the candidates now running, and far,far,better looking.
