THE TRUE LEGACY OF GERALD FORD ( Leslie Lynch King Jr.)

THE TRUE LEGACY OF GERALD FORD ( Leslie Lynch King Jr.)
1/2/07
Gerald R. Ford was actually born as Leslie Lynch King Jr. His mother changed his name at two years old when she divorced his psychotic father; who tried to kill his mother and the presidential child with a carving knife in a drunken rage. Gerald aka Leslie and his mother moved back to Grand Rapids Michigan; and she married a paint salesman named Gerald Ford. Leslie Lynch King Jr. was adopted by the step father and renamed Gerald R. Ford Jr.

“Gerry” Ford Jr. had a gift it seems for remembering names. This served him well in politics and oddly enough after receiving his law degree from Yale; while he worked at Yale as an assistant football coach, in 1941, he returned to Michigan and ran for Congress and won in 1948. He became the Minority Leader in the House of Representatives and also served on the infamous Warren Commission. (Are we beginning to see the trail of bread crumbs leading to a Presidential pardon?)

As he smoozed and cruised his way through the Congress he was bestowed the reputation as an “honest” man with a reputation of fairness. This coming from one of the most corrupt congresses since that of 2004 and 2006. The difference then was that Republicans were the minority and the corruption which characterized the Nixon Era was in a Democratically controlled Senate and Congress.

Gerald Ford was keenly interested in budgetary matters in the Congress. When he became president he was the only president up until then and after his presidency, who presented his budget to Congress. His domestic policies were a bain to Democrats; as he vetoed more than 50 Democrat sponsored bills during his two years in office, on the premise that they were fiscally irresponsible.

I am old enough to remember the WIN program Whip Inflation Now. This “Just Say No”, moronically flawed, economic policy, was instituted after Genius Gerry created a Republican orgasm by screwing the American public. By deregulating the energy and transportation industry and beginning a massive conventional military buildup, which exploded under Ronald Reagan, created the greatest immediate rise in energy costs in history and the Greatest U.S deficits ever conceived up until that time. Gas lines formed on odd and even days as fuel and transportation costs skyrocketed. By the end of 1976 the Ford Administration had brought the U.S into a full blown recession, disguised during his final year in office by the patriotic fervor of the Bi Centennial Celebration. The recession of the late 1970s and early 1980s were directly caused by Ford’s flawed policies, and later fueled by the calculated incompetence of the Jimmy Carter Administration. The Labor busting, “Tinkle On , Trickle Down” economics of Ronald Reagan and the final blow of the “READ MY LIPS” tax increase of G.H.W Bush caused The USS United States to nearly capsize by Republican Presidential Policies. These policies were inspired by Gerald “the genius “Ford; whose policy makers are the same self serving idiots serving themselves again in G.W Bush’s disastrous administration.

Make no mistake about the globalist ambitions of Gerald Ford and his megalomaniacal staffers, Dick Cheney, Chief of Staff, Donald Rumsfeld Sec. of Defense, Henry Kissinger Sec. of State, Nelson Rockefeller Vice President and George H.W. Bush as Director of CIA. Is there any wonder that the 1975 G7 summit was heralded by the Ford Administration. The Globalist advancements of the IMF and World Bank and other WTO precursors, were later to spawn NAFTA and other global trade disasters. The Helsinki agreements coddled the Russians and encouraged the spirit of Detente. Any Human Rights advancements made in the Helsinki Accords were destroyed forever by the current Bush Administration; whose main members are the same who agreed to the Helsinki Accords under Gerald Ford.

The notorious pardon of Richard Nixon will go down in history as the biggest lie ever told by a sitting president. It is well known that Gen. A. Haig, Nixon’s Chief of Staff at the time, who along with Kissinger encouraged and pressured Nixon to resign. Haig approached Gerald Ford prior to his appointment to Vice President to offer him the position of Vice President in exchange for a full pardon of Richard Nixon once Nixon resigned and Ford would become President. According to all “witnesses” and to Gerald Ford’s congressional testimony , he did not agree to Haig’s deal. However, after one month in office as the President the pardon was granted to Nixon by Ford, with his excuse that he felt , ” it would be best for the country.”

Few who had become used to the sociopathic illness of lying U.S Presidents believed Ford then. Why would anyone doubt Ford’s Machiavellian foray of falsehoods? After all he was touted by his congressional peers as an “Honest Man”. Everyone in Congress forgot (or remembered) that Ford was a member of the whitewashing Warren Commission. In 1974 Congressional ethics were seriously in question and being zealously considered by the “investigative press”. A pardon for Nixon was the perfect way to close the door to the Nixon crimes and nail it shut just as the Warren Report killed the investigation into JFK’s murder. Gerry Ford was the perfect man to do it. He was appointed to the office and he had made no promises, and said in his inauguration speech that “He owed nothing to anyone except his wife Betty”. Anyone who believed that line was either a complete imbecile or completely complicit.

This is the very sad saga of Leslie Lynch King Jr. AKA Gerald R. Ford Jr. A former appointed, interim President of the United States. His being memorialized and immortalized as the “nice guy” President, expediently lends his reputation for” honesty”, enhanced by the auspices of the corporate media to soften public opinion towards a large number of upcoming, potential, Presidential pardons , of the international and domestic crimes of Scooter Libby, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld , Alberto Gonzalez, Gen. Abizaid, etc. and all the other criminals associated with the Ford and Bush Administrations, as well as the indicted or soon to be indicted, members of Congress.

So farewell Gerry where ever you are. May God have mercy on your soul. I am certain that revisionist, U.S historians will create a remarkable and noble memory of you and your presidency for generations to come.

PARADING THROUGH WASHINGTON D.C. IN A MODEL G. FORD ( Gerald Ford’s Funeral)

PARADING THROUGH WASHINGTON ON A MODEL G. FORD
12/31/06
The funeral procession of Gerald Ford seemed to have brought out everyone. After being forced to watch the D.C procession shown live on every television station I was reminded of a typical Memorial Day parade. The kind of parade where every politician and businessman, who own and run the town or city get to ride in limousines and antique autos, basking in the stolen glory of fallen heroes, while waving at the cheering crowds.

I envisioned Bush 1 and 2, Cheney and Rumsfeld riding in the back of an antique Model T. Ford, waving to the crowd of on lookers. This is Dick Cheney’s big moment to come out of hiding, and be remembered as Gerald Ford’s Chief of Staff. It is Donald Rumsfeld’s chance to raise his head from disgrace, and be remembered as Gerald Ford’s Secretary of Defense;instead of the blundering idiot who “Stayed the Course” in Iraq. It is an opportunity for Bush 1 and 2 to have the world forget their blundering administrations, Gulf Wars, and decaying , decade old, dynasty for a few days.

Today Gerald Ford lies in state at the Capital Rotunda. The crowd of curious,ghoulish, John and Jane Does line up to surround the coffin to view his dead body. It is difficult to think of Gerald Ford as a president. He was appointed to his office by the most hated president in U.S history. He was virtually unknown before his appointment to Vice President. Everyone forgets that he appointed Nelson Rockefeller as Vice President and shortly after had two assassination attempts on his life. Most Americans forget that Henry Kissinger (The Cambodian Butcher)was Ford’s Secretary of State and a long time Nelson Rockefeller employee, prior to his appointment by Nixon; as National Security Advisor and later Secretary of State. Americans also forget that Gerald Ford, after leaving his caretaker presidency became a member of the board of directors of several major corporations. His reported earnings from these boards in 1978, one year after leaving office, as quoted by several news sources and the IRS, were a combined annual income in excess of one million dollars. Not a bad return for two years as a do nothing president.

The memory of Gerald Ford will always be enshrined by his pardon of Richard Nixon. It will also be emboldened my the famous Chevy Chase SNL impersonation of him; as a bumbling, clumsy and brainless idiot. His presidency was propped up by Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld , Henry Kissinger, Nelson Rockefeller and an entourage of other Nixonites; who escaped indictment and were held over from the Nixon cabinet and advisory committees.

We are forced by the globalist, conspiratorial, complicit, media; to watch the parade of pathetic politicians and hangers on. The American people are considered by their leaders as a nation of robots, are being programmed to raise our opinions of these lowly men, who have so poorly served our country and constitution. We are expected to wave back to the old men propped up in the back seat of an antique car, as we would in a Memorial Day parade, as they bask in their stolen glory. That glory they stole from the millions of true fallen heroes, who these waving old men sent to their deaths.

We can not end this tribute to the fallen Ford without a mention of the memorable work of former First Lady Betty Ford. She will forever be remembered as the first First Lady to admit she was an alcoholic and drug addict. She singlehandedly made alcoholism and drug addiction respectable in the United States. She created a well endowed foundation that humbly bears her name. The Betty Ford Clinic has become the temporary residence for many of the best known members of America’s elite society. Hollywood stars and starletts, and the wives of fortune 500 executives and leading Washington politicians, have all praised the clinic for it’s recuperative therapy. This clinic has inspired the prolific growth of an entire industry, for all who can afford its price. Others less priviledged among our society, are placed in less glamorous settings such as prisons and county hospitals. A month in rehab now cures all the ills brought on by the Nixon -Ford drug War, and it’s massively unsuccessful policies.

While we are obliged by our national media, to view this memorial service of Gerald Ford. We must remember his part as the appointed caretaker of Nixon Kissinger globalist polices; which led to the current rule of corporate fascism. Americans in their New Year revelry must not forget; that Gerald Ford was one of those men, who brought us the rise of Reagan, Bush and our present Neocon plutocracy. Americans must also be reminded; that those who ran the Ford administration are the same men who are running the Bush 2 presidency. Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld have propped up another cardboard president named G.W Bush. All three are riding in this memorial parade, on the back of their Model G. Ford waving to onlookers as they pass by.

“ALLAH IS GREAT! THE NATION WILL BE VICTORIOUS AND PALESTINE IS ARAB!”

“ALLAH IS GREAT. THE NATION WILL BE VICTORIOUS, AND PALESTINE IS ARAB”
12/30/06

I watched the video clip released to the American Media of Saddam Hussein’s final moments before his execution. I was struck by the look of stern resolve on the face of Saddam Hussein as the hangman’s noose was place around his neck. His last words were muted out of the video clip, but the world was told what his final words were; “Allah is Great! The nation will be victorious and Palestine is Arab!”

I was moved by these final words of a man facing his last moment on earth. He did not cry out, he did not beg for his life, he did not curse his accusers, nor did he curse those who deposed him, and brought him to the last moment of his life as he stood on the gallows. His sons were killed , the nation he built was destroyed and plundered, it’s museums and Holy Shrines defiled, the Islamic religion and the prophet Muhammad humiliated and condemned by Iraq’s conquerors. How old and sad is this story?

As I watched, I witnessed Saddam Hussein’s dignity and resolve as he faced the moment of his death. I was compelled to compare the cowardly and contemptible character of George W. Bush, the Coward and Chief of the barbarian hordes, that brought ruin and genocide to the descendents of the world’s most ancient civilization.

I wondered what G.W. Bush and his henchmen Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and all the war criminals in the Bush administration past and present would do if they were face to face with the hangman’s noose? What would their final words be? I can only picture these moral cripples on their knees begging for their lives. I can only envision them groveling at the feet of their hangman, betraying any sense of honor or dignity and displaying to the world the gutless, greedy, traitors to humanity they really are.

Regardless what sentiment anyone has toward Saddam Hussein no one can deny after witnessing the last moments of his life, that he faced death with dignity. His final stern stare and words were all that were needed for the world to understand this complex man. His death was noble, his resolve was courageous. His final act and words appeared to come from a man who knew; that the final judgment of his soul, would not be made by men.

A EULOGY FOR SADDAM HUSSEIN

A EULOGY FOR SADDAM HUSSEIN
12/27/06

I read in the New York Daily News today,that Saddam Hussein has less than thirty days to live before his execution. The article stated, that he could be executed today without even a 24 hour notice to him, or his remaining family. I understand that there might be some karmic justice in his surprise execution,but I believe the world justice system should be far more fair and humane, than it is proving itself to be in the trial and execution of Saddam Hussein.

The entire world knows that the Saddam Hussein trial will go down in history as the greatest miscarriage of international justice the world has ever witnessed. Even the murderous members of Hitler’s staff received a fairer hearing than did Saddam Hussein. The entire trial was a sham and a shame both to the Iraqis people and to the United States. Just as this war on Iraq is a sham and a shame. A total disgrace to humanity, a disgrace to Islam , a disgrace to Christianity , a disgrace to God and all the noblest achievements of Mankind.

Saddam Hussein was not a saint of any sort, but he was a human being. He was a leader of a once great sovereign nation. He ruled with an iron hand; because holding the warring factions of Kurds, Sunni and Shia together, demanded an iron handed leader. What the United States’ present and former administrations want everyone to forget is; that they were responsible for the rise and protection of the totalitarian rule of Saddam Hussein. G.H.W Bush and Ronald Reagan heralded Saddam Hussein as a “Freedom Fighter” after he murdered all of his opposition in a complete purge of the Iraqis Parliament. The United States gave Saddam all of his weapons. We also supplied Iran with its weapons to fight Saddam during the Iran, Iraq war. That war killed over one million people . So few in the West recall the walls of human shields of children put up by the Iranians and Iraqis against the U.S supplied weapons, supplied to both sides. The murder of the 5000 Kurds was dismissed in the trial of Saddam Hussein, to avoid the embarrassment and possible global indictment of the United States and the Bush 1 administration. The “great gulf war 1 president” had trained and supplied, Saddam with the chemical weapons used against the Kurds, and encouraged their use, to suppress the Kurdish uprising. How quickly the world media forgets that Donald Rumsfeld was the U.S emissary for that mission. Donald Rumsfeld was a great friend of Saddam Hussein.

How the media and the Bush administrations 1 and 2 would like the world to forget that Bush 2 sold out his interest in the oil company; that he and George Soros had invested in Kuwait just before Saddam invaded that country. Georgy Jr. got out with many millions of dollars leaving Soros and his reluctant investors holding the proverbial bag unaware of the insider information supplied to Georgy Jr. by George Sr.. For this reason and others George Soros vowed to do all he could to destroy George Jr. in 2000 and 2004. It appears George Soros might have gotten sidetracked betting on the declining U.S economy under Bush Jr. , and realized he’d be better off letting George Jr. destroy himself and the entire Bush Dynasty with him.

Saddam Hussein sits in his cell this day pondering his fate. He must be wondering if this will be his last day alive. Maybe he is cursing the souls of the men and women who should be sharing the gallows with him. These sociopaths are far greater murderers and thieves than he ever was. Perhaps he is wondering if history will punish them more than it will punish him. I for one believe that it will. The following list of criminals against humanity, should forever be condemned, and should be hung by their necks until dead on the same gallows as Saddam Hussein. These men and women are responsible for the deaths and suffering of millions of innocent people throughout the world and in the Middle East, and the destruction and genocide of the entire Iraqis civilization.

Paul Wolfowitz, Lewis Libby, Donald Rumsfeld, Douglas J. Feith, Richard Perle, Dick Cheney, James Woolsey, Michael Joyce, Paul Bremmer, Lt. Gen. John Abizaid, Maj Gen. Bruce Morre, Gen. Buck Walters, Gen. Tommy Franks, Sec.of State. Collin Powel, Sec of State Condoleezza Rice, President George H.W. Bush, President George W. Bush, Tony Blair. The entire U.S pre 2004 Congress and Senate. The entire staff and management of Fox News, CNN, ABC,CBS and NBC, MSNBC, CNBC and all of their affiliates, The New York Times, The New York Daily News, The New York Post, The L.A.Times, The Hartford Current, the Chicago Sun Times, The Chicago Tribune,every newspaper , website and blog that supported Bush 2 and his insanity and absurd war, every conservative radio talk show host in America and every war loving American, stupid enough to buy into the propaganda.

Saddam Hussein may die today, but all the above mentioned villains will die a million times throughout eternity. As their countless crimes against humanity are finally unearthed and uncovered, they will weigh heavier on their damned souls, as they are tortured while they dangle by their necks forever, on the hangman’s rope of history.

C = NON EXISTENT NO DATA FOUND

C = NON EXISTENT NO DATA FOUND
12/26/06

For two nights I’ve had this odd dream that keeps flashing in my subconscious, C = Non Existent no data found. The dream evolves with my being involved with something or someone, and then questions will arise. Questions A and B both have answers but C will always come up as, Non Existent no data found. Every third question, or every category C, will come up the same and persist throughout the night as a repeating dream cycle.

The first night being Christmas Eve, I attributed the dream to too much wine and food. The second night the dream re occurred in the same way. It plagued my sleep all night long. When I woke, I was resolved to solving the equation. C= Non Existent , no data found. As I thought about what C could stand for , I was unable to think of anyone or thing of significance; whose name began with C. I looked up the letter C in a numerology book, and it equates to the number three. Three is a significant number in numerology it signifies, “Trinity, mind-body-spirit harmony; dream has a spiritual message.” So I struggled the last two days, wondering what kind of message I could have received from C = Non Existent no data found. I still haven’t figured it out yet . I thought that it was a message that I could share with my readers. If anyone can figure it out they may have a greater insight into my subconscious than I do.

I had a few guests on Christmas Eve but no one had a name that began with C. No comments that I can remember had anything to do with C. Maybe C did equal nothing, and I have nothing to substantiate the meaning of the dream? It is possible the entire dream was void of any meaning; other than it being a nuisance and disturbing my sleep.

There is one other clue that I recall. Each time C = Non Existent no data found, appeared in the dream , I became angry and frustrated. I felt as though something was being censored from me, and explained away as not existing or it never had existed. Perhaps the C stands for Censored, or it could mean nothing at all?

JUST THE RIGHT GIFT

JUST THE RIGHT GIFT
12/23/06

I was doing some last minute shopping yesterday when it occurred to me, that I didn’t know anyone personally who didn’t have anything. Maybe I did, but I wasn’t aware of it. Many years ago I had been in that position. I had lost everything I had owned in a fire and then a subsequent divorce a year later. It takes forever it seems to recover from that type of setback.

The sudden loss of an entire lifetime of material possessions, and the mental and physical stress it places on one often leads many who find themselves in that position into an unrecoverable depression. I guess I’m too bull headed to allow myself to be depressed for very long. I feel that if I sit too long and think about doing something I think myself out of doing it.

Christmas is the time of year that makes me think of others, but usually I’m thinking only of those closest to me, and others who have been close to me at one time or another and I’ve lost contact with them. I use to be one of those people who would call everyone I knew and liked; that still had a working phone number to wish them a Merry Christmas and say hello. I stopped that practice. It finally dawned on me one year, that these people didn’t think enough of me to call me, or contact me at all during the year. I realized in a rather bitter way; that they didn’t care if I contacted them or not. I was never a beggar for friendship, but once I made a friend I would stay loyal to them, unless they gave me reason not to.

The telephone is a remarkable invention that was designed to work in two ways. People can make calls and they can receive calls. It seems that many people forget the first or second use of the telephone. I’m not bitter I’m just contemplating Christmas and friendships and family. We have to be willing to accept the fact that some people don’t like us , and that we really don’t like them. We hate the thought of having to talk to them at Christmas or on any holiday. They just piss us off. That could be a sibling, parent, in-law or outlaw it could be anyone. I’ve decided not to bother anymore. I only do Christmas with people I really like to be around. I only take time to talk to people I really like , and those are usually always the people who like me. Why kick yourself or your spouse or significant other or your kids by visiting people you can’t stand on the holidays? It’s a form of masochism.

Getting back to people who have nothing and might have lost everything. If I could afford it I’d buy all of them something. I don’t think I would give money. Money just gets spent, and there is never enough to compensate someone for their loss. If I were to buy something for everyone who has nothing I would buy them something to give them hope, a Hope machine. A machine that would give everyone who needs hope all the hope they could ever use. It would be their own eternal fountain of Hope. I can attest that Hope has worked wonders for me. It gave me the vision to climb out of depressions with idea’s that generated new businesses, new friendships new love. Hope made it possible to create a totally new reality. This would be my gift to all who need it . If you need hope this time of year here it is. Hope can always be with you, as long as you are alive. It has always been a great friend to me, and calls me every day, just to see how I’m doing.

A REFLECTION OF MY INTERVIEW WITH JOHN MCMANUS, PRESIDENT OF THE JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY.

A REFLECTION OF MY INTERVIEW WITH JOHN MCMANUS, PRESIDENT OF THE JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY.
12/20/06

My sense of nationalism and patriotism cloud my objectivity when I consider the condition of the present American society. In my research preparing for this interview with Mr. McManus I discovered the principles of the John Birch Society, were founded upon the idealist values of pre WWII America as envisioned by its founder Robert Welsh.

The 1950s and 60s were a time of unprecedented technology and global awareness that began a new American revolution. A revolution against the old ideals and innocent nationalism of the returning soldiers. In the advent of socialization of the American government under the New Deal, the cry of conservatives and constitutionalists established the need for the John Birch Society. By the end of World War II the acceptance of Social Security and government work programs and services were well established in the minds and hearts of the American people . The first mammoth government program for veterans the GI Bill was responsible for educating millions of returning veterans, and fostered the remarkable economic growth of America’s middle classes in the mid twentieth century . This was one of the most far reaching and successful (socialist)visions ever implemented in the United States.

Under the Marshal Plan the United States became a nation builder , against all cautions stated by its Constitution and original founders. The rise of global awareness in the 1940s and 1950s created popular movements in the United States that radicalized the working and middle classes against war and against oppression. Some of these movements were created by a communist conspiracy designed to undermine the American Government; while others like the John Birch Society saw its mission as a defender of the American Constitution ,and the preservation of American ideals, as they were traditionally understood.

As I can best understand from my research and my interview with Mr. McManus is; what happened to the John Birch Society was an accumulated attack by the extreme Liberal elements in our society. This included the media and a vast betrayal of the John Birch Society by conservative allies such as William Buckley Jr., that once supported them, and who’s National Review magazine was greatly advanced by the John Birch Society. (Buckley was then and probably still is a CIA operative) All of this was coupled with the U.S corporate goals of global expansion of their markets, and a break from U.S isolationism. By 1959 and the first printing of the famous Blue Book, globalism and all of it’s evils had taken root in the U.S.. A radical reversal of post war U.S foreign and domestic policies, would have created world wide chaos for the globalists, and setback their plans for global domination by half a century.

The plan made then that seems apparent now; was to destroy all who upheld the original concepts of American Government; those of self determination and limited government involvement in the daily lives of the American people. U.S global ambitions needed to be unbridled by nationalistic principles , foreign aid needed to be expanded to develop U.S global influence. The threat of communist expansionism, rather it was real or manufactured became the excuse for the U.S corporations and globalist members of the government, to protect and expand their global interests. The battle for the American conscience, and respect for it’s own Constitution and original ideals of a republic, posed a major threat to globalist ambitions. The John Birch Society lost that battle however, they did not lose the war.

Today more than ever before in American history, the powers of Globalism and the U.S government’s ambitions for empire and global domination have allied completely. The global elite have made puppets of our Presidents and a mockery of our representative government. Never has this nation been so infiltrated by its enemies, so controlled by its media and corporations. The world is entering into a period of global oppression and tyranny; that would horrify the Founders of the American Constitution. If these ambitions of the Global elite finally come into full effect; there will be no way of stopping it. The John Birch Society is trying to alert every American to be aware of this immediate crisis to prevent it from happening.

The threat of global fascism is evident though out our society. Corporations dictate government domestic and foreign policies. Men and women CEOs of the major industrial and financial institutions have served and are currently serving in high government positions. Corporate donations to the two major political parties are the mainstay of our congressional and presidential

election process. Fraud, corruption and cronyism is at the highest levels ever witnessed in our history. The blatant corruption in defense and social welfare programs, financial institution bailouts, and the continuous devaluation of the American currency by the conspiratorial globalist banking system and Federal Reserve, amounts to multiple trillions of dollars. These global monetary institutions have enslaved every American and the entire American economy; through their predatorily lending practices and oppressive usury. States are being forced to sell their own infrastructures such as highways and bridges to private and foreign investors, just to maintain their own state budgets from plunging into massive deficits.

I see the John Birch Society and it’s membership as the last defenders of the ancient ideal of a sovereign nation. It’s founder was a great admirer of Ralph Waldo Emerson. I am also a great admirer of Mr. Emerson. After my interview with John McManus I was compelled to consider what this chance acquaintance with him meant to me and to my predominantly liberal audience; when one of Emerson’s pearls of wisdom came to mind. I will take the liberty of quoting it: ” O, believe ,as thou livest, that every sound that is spoken over the round world, which thou oughtest to hear, will vibrate on thine ear! Every proverb, every book, every byword that belongs to thee for aid or comfort, shall surely come home through open or winding passages….” (The Over Soul).

Several minutes prior to my interview with John McManus, I read the first few paragraphs of the original Blue Book; as an introduction to my audience. I would like to quote the third paragraph of this historic book: “Naturally we have faced extensive and malicious attacks from both the open and the disguised Left. Nothing more is required today to bring down on any man’s head a torrent of smears from the Liberal Establishment than:(a)to deny the beauties of the welfare state; or (b) , to seek to preserve the opportunities and responsibilities of the individual; or (c) to suspect the venality of any of the Establishment’s painstakingly manufactured but clay-footed gods, with their synthetic haloes. And we have done all three.” It amazed me how little has changed in the last 50 years; since Robert Welsh wrote these words.

The Blue Book opens with an inspirational passage from an unreferenced poet. Whether it was Emerson or Mr. Welsh himself, I do not know. ” But on one man’s soul it hath broken, A light that doth not depart; And his look, or a word he hath spoken wrought flame in another man’s heart.” That flame still burns in the hearts of all John Birch Society members, and it is a small but growing flame, vented by the hurricane force wind of Globalism, and it’s deadly threat to American sovereignty. I wonder if our government and the American people, have already forgotten and moved too far away from the original ideals of the founding fathers? I wonder if our history has been too revised, too purged of the truth, for any honest scholar or researcher to understand the realities of the thoughts and circumstances, that influenced the Fathers of the American Revolution? I wonder if it was a revolution, or is revolution the needed spark to ignite mankind’s political and technological evolution? Can what has been done in the name of global human advancement be reversed, clarified or objectively criticized by modern scholars? Many highly regarded American historians and scholars are responsible for the false revisionism and globalist propaganda now taught as historical fact in our secondary schools and colleges.

I am grateful to have had the opportunity to speak with John McManus. A chapter will be added about this interview, to my book now in progress. Perhaps it will be one of the pivotal chapters in the book; just as the introduction to the John Birch Society has been a pivotal chapter in the lives of its growing membership.

JOHN MCMANUS PRESIDENT OF THE JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY WILL BE ON THE L.A. STEEL SHOW.

Listen to internet radio with L A STEEL SHOW on Blog Talk Radio

JOHN MCMANUS PRESIDENT OF THE JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY WILL BE ON THE L.A. STEEL SHOW.
12/18/06

The John Birch Society came into being in 1956 and soon after by 1964, it was scorned, slandered and libeled by the media and pro communist conspirators; as one of the most notorious organizations in the United States. I was very young as were most baby boomers during this time. Barry Goldwater was the Presidential candidate that year. We of that era were the impressionable young, influenced by Beatle mania and other Tavistock packaged British Rock and Roll bands and the acid headed “DEAD” etc.etc. and anti war protests. As I recall from my somewhat distorted memory, Bob Dylan refused to go on the Ed Sullivan Show, sometime in the early 60’s; because ED wouldn’t let him sing his song” John Birch Society Blues”. I have never heard the song and I do not know if it was ever produced. Since my recent research into the John Birch Society, I believe Ed Sullivan was right. Maybe ED was a member?

In our conversation; when Mr. McManus accepted my invitation to be on the L.A. Steel Show, I informed him that I was liberally oriented. I stated that my radio and television programs were of a liberal content. I informed him that I use the word “Liberal” loosely; since I have many critics from both sides of the political spectrum. He made clear that the John Birch Society rejects political labels. I have made great efforts and a commitment, to create an objective view of alternative news in developing my public comments and criticism. Regardless of the origin of national or international opinions and issues I encourage what makes sense and discourage what I consider as nonsense, then let my audience decide for themselves.

I believe it is time in this nation to develop a meaningful dialogue; between the different factions that are tearing the political and social fabric of the United States. These factions are separating families, co workers and friends from meaningful discussions and unity. This ideological split in our culture happened twice before, and each ended in bloodshed. Once during the American Revolution and a second time during the American Civil War.

It was for this reason alone that I asked John McManus to be a guest on the L.A. Steel Show. His view of America is essentially the same view that I and most Americans have. That all Americans must defend the Constitution of the United States against all foreign and domestic enemies. I believe that all responsible citizens must be aware of the true friends and foes of the United States. As all friends disagree with one another on many issues we are friends or have remained friends, because we have taken time to learn about each other by listening to each other.

It is my hope and the hope of many, that this enemy made and media exaggerated tear in the social fabric of the United States, can be repaired. If we put aside our personal, bull headed, beliefs long enough to listen to someone else’s bull headed beliefs; we might create an opportunity to learn from each other. We might be able to identify the true enemies of our society and where they are hiding. That hiding place might be within us without our knowing.

Please join us tomorrow night 12/19/06 at 8:00 pm on WQQQ 103.3fm, or listen to us on Thursday night when we replay our conversation with John McManus President of the John Birch Society on : blogtalkradio.com / lasteelshoworg

PAIN = PUNISHMENT (according to Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary)

PAIN = PUNISHMENT (according to Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary)
12/17/06

Anyone who has ever suffered any form of pain, either physical or mental, has probably asked themselves Why? Why me? What the hell did I ever do to deserve this pain? Maybe that is why Webster’s equates pain to punishment? I found the definition to be not what I expected. There are three or four sub answers to Pain in the dictionary. All of them equated somewhat to a basis of punishment.

Perhaps it is the fear of punishment that causes pain? We as a species have evolved equating and inflicting pain as a punishment for something we or others have done wrong. How often has it been said : “He or she is being punished because they are evil” or “God is preparing their spirit” or some other absurd religious reasoning for pain and suffering? We hurt because: we’ve broken, bruised , cut ourselves, or became infected by some physical or mental disease. We die because we were in the wrong place at the wrong time, got poisoned, murdered, neglected our health, became careless , drove drunk, got shot, got beat up and died of the injuries. There are many more logical, reasons for dying and hurting than there are religious reasons; yet many people prefer to blame God or Fate, or someone else for their pain and suffering. It is much easier to deny our own faults.

I have so often done one thing or another to cause myself pain or to cause pain to someone else. I understand that I have done these things to myself, and others by myself. God had nothing to do with it. He might have had something to do with the healing process, but I could never blame him for my own stupidity. If I was born slow or retarded then I could blame genetics. I’m not saying that my parents were stupid, nor am I claiming that title either. However all human beings know and understand the results of pain. Pain Hurts! Any living creature knows this. Is pain punishment, injustice, imbalance, or is it a fabricated reality? Is pain simply a form of tyranny of the conscious mind? We are always unconscious of pain when we sleep soundly. Sleep may be artificially induced, or naturally produced by us simply being tired. I have often gone to sleep with either a sore back, or a headache, or thinking about some disturbing event that happened during the day. The minute my eyes close to rest, the body knows it is time to rest ; then my subconscious takes over, and I either dream or not dream, but I am without pain.

I have read many books and articles on pain management and reduction and all seem to promote one major theme. That theme is relaxation. Try to relax, breath deeply , rest, try to keep your mind unstressed. I’ve found these things to work for a while, until the phone rings or I get bad news from someone, or something else disturbs my peace.

Back pain, tooth pain, leg pain, headache, arm pain, eye pain, foot pain, finger pain, neck pain, hip pain, toe pain, gas pain, anxiety related pain, stress related pain, knee pain, ear pain, nose and sinus pain, elbow pain, ass pain, muscle pains , and lastly, genital pain. I may have missed a few, but I think I got the point across. If we relate punishment with pain how does this religiously inspired system work? Are women punished for giving birth? Is every new born punished for being born? Some religions think so.

If there is a punishment doled out from God for every sin or folly of man then how is it administered? Is a lie punished by a headache? Is a murder punished by the murderer’s death, or amputation of a limb? Is a slanderous statement punished by a toothache? Is viewing pornography or violence or something obscene punished by a headache or blindness or intense eye strain? Someone might think guilt would be their punishment; but what if someone feels no guilt for something they have done wrong? Then he receives no punishment.

Man has created all forms of punishment for himself and others simply out of his own sense of justice. Society collectively understands the correcting powers of pain in use of governing itself and defending itself. But that is based upon human physical and mental reactions to avert problems. Pain is the great equalizer and ruler. It favors no one. Pain is the great aversion , so much so that it is also considered by many as an odd form of pleasure.

Why do we as a species seem to harbor a special place in our psyche that enjoys pain; either pain inflicted on others or on ourselves? This is Masochism and Sadism. Many enjoy watching a boxing match as two opponents pummel each other into unconsciousness. Many people enjoy the violent games of Hockey and Football and Extreme Fighting, or Professional Wrestling. Why? What thrill do we really derive from these forms of entertainment? Blood sports are and have always been the most popular forms of entertainment for the majority of societies, world wide, throughout history. As a child and young man I enjoyed and engaged in many of these sports.

I enjoyed the competition and the full body contact of the sports. I enjoyed running and skating and hitting and falling down, the chasing and fear of getting hit too hard. I enjoyed the feeling of being smarter, braver, gaining attention, feeling superior or inferior depending on the outcome of the game or my own performance. I guess these needs are what drive us and make us human? Getting hit or falling always hurts, no pain no gain. Sports are strange, but they allow us to vent our aggressions in legally and socially accepted ways; by inflicting pain on ourselves and others.

Self inflicted pain seems to be on the rise in the 21st century. Adults and children are indulging in self mutilation, cutting themselves to feel the pain. They tempt death and injury by extreme sports or extreme sexual practices, pain induced orgasms, genital piercings, bondage and sexual sacrifices, rape, gang rape. All are gaining in popularity. Drug addiction, anorexia, bulimia, and gluttony, are all self induced painful, pleasure, experiences. Is this God’s punishment or is it our punishment on ourselves; because we have lost our way, our control, our sense of balance, and believe that pain will punish us into submission, allow us to find happiness? Is pain also pleasure? We cannot blame anyone but ourselves for punishing ourselves. We cannot blame anyone but ourselves for punishing our children or allowing them to hurt themselves. They learn to act or react to pain from adults, they learn from schools; that are built by and administered by adults and lessons taught by adults. If a child lacks attention they will cry out in many ways. They create good or bad attention towards themselves because it achieves their same desire, which is attention. If inflicting pain upon themselves or others creates the attention or pleasure they desire, then they will continue doing whatever it is they do, even if it kills them or someone else.

I have decided that pain is not punishment. This is where Webster is wrong. Pain is a warning to tell us that something is wrong with us that must be corrected. In this way it is a blessing. Pain is simply a warning mechanism that will cease or not depending upon the will of the individual to either continue or cease the practice of whatever is causing the pain. If we shut off the pain sensors in our body it is like shutting off a smoke alarm or any other sensor that gives us warning of a problem.

Humanity cannot exist without some form of temporary pain. Life is too perilous without warning systems. Infants and the most elderly in any society stay alive by successfully avoiding or managing pain. It can be done. Millions if not billions prove it every day. Pain is not punishment, it is an instrument we are all born with each with lower and higher tolerances to it. Pain is an instrument that if used and understood properly can be one of the greatest gifts to humanity and if it is used improperly can become humanity’s greatest oppressor. If we ignore our own pain or the pain of others and delight in hatred and the inflicting of pain; then death or permanent damage will be the result to ourselves and to our society, and our punishment will be harsh and self inflicted.

“THE WORDS OF MUHAMMAD”

Listen to internet radio with L A STEEL SHOW on Blog Talk Radio

“THE WORDS OF MUHAMMAD”
12/14/06

My Tuesday night radio show listeners were treated to a fascinating interview with Dr. Kasseem Khaleel, about his latest book “The Words of Muhammad”. This broadcast was replayed on our internet program on Wednesday 12/13/06. It can be heard from our archives, on blogtalkradio.com / lasteelshoworg, and podcasted.

Dr. Khaleel is an MD, a prolific writer and lecturer, and has published over 20 books of various subjects on science and natural medicines, and scholarly works on the Qur’an and the life of the prophet Muhammad. Another recent book by Dr. Khaleel “Wrongly Blamed”, is a well researched, controversial indictment, of the Israeli intelligence agency The Mossad. This book documents and explains their involvement in many of the most heinous terrorist plots of the 20th and 21st centuries. Our interview on “Wrongly Blamed” with Dr. Khaleel can also be heard on our blogtalkradio.com / lasteelshoworg archives.

As many of my readers know I have been researching the Islamic culture and religion for much of this year. I have written several articles (see archives) entitled Contemplating the Koran # 1 and # 2. I have also written several more recent articles in November and December based upon a deeper appreciation of Islamic culture and the Qur’an, and a few this summer regarding Palestine and the Israelis war with Lebanon.

It has been a true privilege for me to have Dr. Khaleel on my radio programs to discuss the rich history and culture of the Islamic people. He has proven to me how the western media ,by their ignorance and deceit, have maligned the remarkable religion and culture of Islam, and ignored the aggressive imperialistic, attacks against the people of the Middle East. Western Media has deliberately distorted the truth regarding the genocide and occupation of Palestine, and the coups sponsored by the Western countries against lawful Islamic governments.

Before my first reading of “The Words of Muhammad” much of what I had been reading was from older English translations and culturally biased western writers. It became immediately apparent to me that they were obviously inferior to this work by Dr. Khaleel. His language is clear, his syntax more precise, and his editor’s notes and interpretive, historical facts displayed

throughout the book, created for me, a much broader and clearer understanding and appreciation, of the extreme significance the Prophet Muhammad, and the Islamic culture have been to the advancement of humanity. Dr. Khaleel respectfully refers to the work of old and modern Jewish and Christian historians.

I cannot recommend this book or its author more highly. The timely publishing of this work is a credit to the courage of Dr.Khaleel and Knowledge House Publishers, who published “The Words Of Muhammad” and “Wrongly Blamed”. The prophetic statement, made by another courageous author, captures the spirit of Dr. Khaleel’s work. George Orwell wrote: In times of universal deceit to speak the truth is a revolutionary act.”

I am receiving no compensation for my recommendation of this book to my many readers. The honor I receive by all who read my writing and listen to my programs, so far has been sufficient for me to continue. I am urging all of my readers, if you can afford to purchase a copy of ” The Words of Muhammad” or “Wrongly Blamed” or any of Dr. Khaleel’s books, to please do so. It will be the wisest and perhaps the best purchase you will make this Christmas season. On my radio program Dr. Khaleel stated to my listeners; that if they bought two books or more shipping would be free. I have spoken to the publisher and they have authorized it for all who state they heard about the books on the L.A.Steel Show. Consider this my Christmas gift to everyone. The toll free number to order is 1-800-295-3737. Their web site is : knowledgehousepublishers.com

If you’re not convinced enough to buy these books; then please listen to the interviews with Dr. Khaleel anytime on blogtalkradio.com / lasteelshoworg. I can assure you that you will learn something new.

WAR AGAINST ISLAM IS WAR AGAINST OURSELVES.

WAR AGAINST ISLAM IS WAR AGAINST OURSELVES.
12/6/06

I have heard many statements made about the followers of Islam from the media and from other ignorant or propaganda filled sources. I have heard these same disturbing statements made about people of different races, people of different languages, different sizes and weights and income status. Are we as the human species, so full of hate and rage fueled by groveling ignorance; that we cannot raise our minds away from our most base selves? Are we so lowly a species that we compare with the most predatory creatures? These creatures operate on instinct and act or react for territorial self preservation. If animals know hatred, it is because man has taught it to them.

In my recent research of Islamic culture, I have been trying to identify the main themes, and comparisons; between Western and Middle Eastern cultures, and formulate an understanding of both, so I can convey the findings to my audiences. The rise of hatred and war amongst these opposing societies and cultures warrants serious questioning on behalf of the thinking members of those societies as to what is fueling the conflict.

I will not give any note of specific recognition as to where I have seen the images I am about to mention; other than they are attributed to pro Israel and pro Christian websites. I have seen them and I was reviled and disgusted by them. Many of these images were degrading images of Jesus and Muhammad. These images were from Medieval and modern artists; that defiled both prophets in the most vile and contemptible depictions. Many of these pictures and comments were from famous museums, manuscripts, and mainstream European and American publications.

These soul less promoters of highly profane renditions of the world’s greatest prophets, convinced me of the depravity of men and women throughout the centuries. This depravity is fueled to a great degree by our own spiritual and political leaders. For me to be shocked by the depravity of humanity as a man of my age and experience is rather a rare occurrence. However in recent years with the advent of the Iraq War, and atrocities of the Israeli Zionist occupation and war with Palestine and Lebanon, and the publicized revelations of the heinous deaths, and torture conducted by both cultures against one another I can state with confidence, that very little else can shock me.

In the Qur’an it states that both Jesus and Muhammad will sit in judgment of the world in the end times. The Madhi of Islamic prophecy is the perfect spiritual man; who will come to raise Islam in the final days. In Christianity it is Jesus who will return to earth to rule. Each prophecy resembles the other. Even the physical description of the Madhi states that he will resemble Jesus, and be of the Arabic race.

I have not found clarity for a compromise between both faiths; other than both religions and both prophets were messengers to humanity from the exact same God. Both prophets credited the Father, the one God, the God of Abraham and Isaac. Both prophets claim their God to be the same God of the Jews. What Islam does is condemn the Jews and Christians for their hypocrisy, as well as their unwarranted aggression against Islamic people. The power and message of condemnation is granted to them based upon the message Muhammad received from God’s messenger the angel Gabriel, the same angel who visited Mary the mother of Jesus and told her she would give birth to the Messiah. The Qur’an recognizes Mary as the mother of Jesus the Messiah, and the chosen apostle of God, but it also claims Muhammad as the last prophet of the same God.

Who am I,who is anyone to deny that Muhammad was a prophet? Who is anyone to deny Jesus as a prophet? Almost half of the world’s population believes in one or the other men as being prophets. What most fail to understand is; that both prophets claimed their divine messages from the exact same God. There is no difference between them except 600 years of cultural changes. 600 years of corrupted Christian and pagan values conceived and revised under Roman domination, and coerced upon the known civilizations by the Church of Rome. Is it too difficult to imagine; that God might of been disappointed with the political aspirations, corruption and incompetence of the early church leaders? According to the Qur’an, God was disappointed enough that he sent the Angel Gabriel to speak to Muhammad as another prophet, to try and straighten out the mess that was created. He instructed Muhammad to accept the message of Jesus and spread the teachings, and created new laws for the people of the desert regions, and to spread the truth to the world. Christianity as the world knows it was greatly inspired by the works of Paul of Tarsus. Why do Christian believers believe so devotedly in Paul’s conversion experience, and not believe that Muhammad had a similar experience. How can they believe that Gabriel visited Mary, and not believe he visited Muhammad 600 years later? The same factual and empirical evidence of either visitation is the same. Neither had witnesses, both instances were self proclaimed and later believed by family members and followers. To deny one or the other is based solely on the politics and propaganda of political and religious leadership of the times. This new rise of Jihad is enflamed by the insane foreign policies of the Bush Administration and the global interests he is fronting for. The hatred of the Christians, Jews and Muslims is created by the imperial aggressions of the leaders of the western countries allied with Israel to plunder the oil wealth of the Middle East. This is obvious, except to the most ignorant and blind.

It must be understood that actions of Muhammad must be placed in the context of the times he lived in and the region of the world. This was a war filled world with conquering tribes and organized bands of lawless marauders; that pillaged villages and settlements and terrorized populations. Peace came from military victory and brutal enforcement of regional laws. It was the same in Europe during the dark ages. These were feudal times; when paganism and polytheism still flourished throughout the world. Monotheism was a new concept, a new idea that had begun to capture Mankind’s imagination. The grand concepts of compassion, mercy, love, forgiveness of one’s enemies, love for one’s neighbor, Heaven and Earth and the end of man’s sufferings, or an eternity of suffering. These were great and new concepts; that swept through the world on the words of the prophets. Grand visions and ideologies, communicated to men and women with out the aid of mass communications, without the aid of computers or telecommunications, without the combustion engine or steam power, and limited written communications. All was transmitted verbally from teacher to student, from apostle to priest, from priest and political leaders to the general public. It is miraculous that the words and visions of Jesus and Muhammad have survived two millenniums. The possibility that deliberate or innocent, misinterpretations derived from poor translations of the words of the prophets might have skewed some of the true message is highly probable. In fact ,it is highly improbable, that the perfect message of God to man hasn’t been garbled in translations, and used as it is today for political manipulation of the masses. Many skeptics believe that religions were designed by the ruling elite for population control used to insight populations to enter into war, or create fear of the afterlife so their subjects willingly pay tithing to the King or government controlled church.

We can not underestimate the powers of the ruling elite in any society to pursue covetously any means of controlling their societies, or gaining control of more people and resources to enrich their societies. This has to be understood for anyone to grasp the complexities of our most recent struggles between cultures. The use of religious and racial hatred to inspire people to war is an ancient and extremely effective tool used by rulers since the first civilizations. It creates a false belief that one race, or one religion is superior to another by manipulating the words of the prophets to confuse and control the masses of devout believers. The Christian leaders are as guilty of using this tactic as are the Muslims, as are any religious leaders in the world past or present.

The only way that an individual can ever discern or identify the meaning of God’s message is by true and honest reflection of God’s message as it is spoken directly to us. We cannot fully trust that the words of the Prophets of any faith have been accurately translated, and passed down from generation to generation without either some major or minor alteration. Just as every constitutional government has had to amend its constitution to include or clarify a certain issue, that could not have been imagined by its original writers, and definitely not comprehended by those it was meant to govern. How could any mortal man or woman have seen 2000 years into the future, and describe their vision effectively to their own generation, and hope it is cherished and preserved by the countless generations of the future?

Yes, I believe that these immortal words of the Christian and Islamic holy books were divinely inspired. I believe that the courage and faith of those who spread and preserved the words of the prophets were divinely inspired, proven by their suffering and dying for their beliefs. Must the martyrs of Islam be considered any less courageous or less devout than the martyrs of Christianity? Who can judge these prophets who gave their lives for their faith in the same God and lived and died for the purpose of bringing eternal salvation to Mankind? It is the discord caused by the deceptions or ignorance of their spiritual and political leaders, that inflame humanity against itself and condemns the message of its prophets.

As I study and compare the Islamic religion and the culture with my own I find myself being drawn to a conclusion. That conclusion is the finite definition of my own faith. To believe in either Jesus or Muhammad, Moses or Buddha or the many other divinely inspired men and women of great faith depends solely upon the individual. God’s endless diversity can be understood more clearly simply by looking at our own surroundings. We have created our surroundings through the graces of God and his gift of Nature. His laws given to us by his prophets state that; if an individual’s faith is derived from in his own evidence of the one true God, he or she will be indistinguishable from any of the prophets. He or she will have love and compassion for their fellowman. The prophets have taught us what we inherently know. Mankind must consider itself a marvelous and mysterious creation, and must have a collective and unified faith in the compassionate omnipotence of the One True God if we hope to continue to exist.

LOW TECHNO SELF ESTEEM

LOW TECHNO SELF ESTEEM
12/02/06

I struggle daily with new computer advancements, that make my old computer knowledge obsolete. I often wonder how many people, as myself, suffer from low techno self esteem. This affliction has become a serious issue for me , having to hurdle new advancements in the ongoing process of simply operating my desktop computer.

I am continually amazed at the number of new and improved updates I receive for my computer’s security, and my Windows system. I can’t imagine how archaic and vulnerable my system would be without the automatic updates. I can’t imagine how vulnerable my system is with them. So many people are newly computerized or oldly computerized , and must constantly struggle to remain somewhat aware of technological advancements. I did a complete security scan of my system the other day, and found that I had over 150,000 files, 149,500 of them I had no idea what they were. The security scan found one Trojan and one potential virus and quarantined them. I was very impressed. Then I wondered , what if it missed one? I got the latest (recommended) updates and whatever else was put in with them, but I keep hearing about the worm virus and the new viruses, that are continually attacking computer systems. There are hackers who are intentionally trying to gain access to personal information. I do not store any personal stuff on my computer. I don’t like virtual numbers and don’t trust putting all my personal information into anything and taking all the time it takes to put it in, so it can be vulnerable to hackers or an unknown virus or delete it by accident.

What bothers me so about computerization is that for some “strange” reason all computers are designed to store the complete history of everything a computer owner does on his computer. Why is that I wonder? What purpose does it serve; unless it is so police , NSA and FBI ever want to know if you have looked up an Arabic website or god forbid, a porn site. Now these bastards can enter your house and take your computer. I’ve got over 150,000 files on my system and have looked at thousands of websites, and I can’t remember one quarter of what I’ve looked at. The first thing the cops seem to do when arresting someone , regardless of the crime, is to confiscate the computer. Why the hell would any criminal with an IQ over 50 keep anything on his or her computer, they wouldn’t want the arresting agency to see? I’ve got nothing to hide except a manuscript of a book I’m working on. Nothing secret, but I’d hate to lose all the work I’ve done; because some law enforcement agency needed a new computer for their office, and couldn’t get the funds allocated for it.

There is so much technology I don’t know and never will know. By the time I figure out half of the things I should do and can do on my computer everything I’ll have learned will probably be obsolete. I have often heard and read about many older writers, who still hand write or type their manuscripts on a typewriter. Bill Clinton hand wrote his book. Why did he do that? Could it be because he didn’t trust his work being placed on a computer? Having been President he knows how easy it is for a spy or government agency, to hack into a computer, regardless who it belongs to. Maybe Bill was giving everyone a hint?

Of all the slings and arrows hurled at my techno self esteem, perhaps the most painful of all is knowing that, children as young as five or six years of age are more computer savvy than I am. In elementary schools kids are creating their own websites, programming their own systems and learning advance software. I haven’t even achieved an intermediate understanding of basic computer skills. The only skill taught to me in high school related at all to computers was typing.

So onward and upward I go, trailblazing into an aging technology, hoping to reach the summit of Windows XP understanding before it becomes obsolete. I have a long way to go. I want my low techno self esteem readers to know; that I am walking with them on that long , dusty, pilgrimage, to acquiring greater techno self esteem.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CORK?

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CORK?
11/26/06

Thanksgiving is finally over and thoughts are focused on Christmas, but one of the most disappointing aspects of this Thanksgiving, besides undercooking the turkey, was discovering that my once favorite wine now has a screw off cap, instead of a cork.

As I was milling around in the local liquor store looking for a good bottle of wine I discovered to my delight a case of one of my favorite wines. I hadn’t been able to find this particular wine for many years in any nearby (within 30 miles) liquor store, and I had settled to satisfying my unsophisticated palate with a mid priced merlot, cabernet or burgundy. As I walked around the store’s display racks and shelves I noticed near my feet a wooden case of wine with a very familiar name, but a different label than I had remembered . I knelt on one knee to pick up a bottle. I felt like I had found an old friend, until I noticed the top of the bottle had a screw off cap instead of a cork. I immediately thought that maybe the winery had been bought out by Gallo?

The only way I can describe the feeling of seeing my favorite wine with a screw off cap is, unexpectedly seeing an old girlfriend that you were once crazy about, and had harbored great memories of for many years,and as you rush up to greet her she smiles at you without any teeth in her mouth.

At first glance I was in disbelief. I thought this couldn’t be the same wine. This was a good old French winery recommended by a friendly liquor store owner I often frequented years ago. After he sold his business and retired the new owners no longer carried the wine, and said it was difficult to get and the price had gone up considerably.

I was disappointed and I went on to find other wines, but none quite satisfied me the way that one had. If I had known it would be hard to find again I would have ordered several cases and stored them, but it still would not have stopped the winery from putting a screw cap on their new bottles. I hadn’t had a bottle of this particular wine for many years. I had actually almost forgotten about it, until I found it a few days ago.

I looked at the bottle with the screw cap on it and brought it to the counter, and I asked the clerk if there was an earlier vintage available that had a cork in it, instead of a screw off cap. She smiled graciously and said “Oh that’s a new wine we have just ordered. I think they only come with caps.” I told her that I used to love the wine but I couldn’t bring myself to buying it now, with a screw off cap. I also told her that it was a 2004 vintage and I hadn’t had that wine for many years, and I was concerned that it may not be the same as I remembered. Even the modest price they were asking could not convince me to buy it. She frowned and said, “Honestly a lot of people feel the same way about the screw off cap, many of the lower priced and mid ranged wines are coming out with screw off caps.” I looked at her puzzled and asked, “Why?” She explained that supposedly caps are better for preserving the wine than corks are. I could not believe that any proud, master wine maker would allow his wine to be sealed with a spin off cap. I couldn’t picture many wines, other than Yago Sangria or Boones Farm Apple wine or a gallon jug of Vino, without a cork in it. These were $2.00 a gallon wines, that everyone got stupid and sick on in high school and college during the late sixties and early seventies.

I was quite disappointed as I reluctantly placed the bottle back in the wooden case. I stared at it for several minutes and tried to convince myself that it might be worth buying just to try it. Maybe, just maybe it might be as good as I remembered? I thought for a few moments and became quite nostalgic over the site of my favorite old wine packaged with a screw off cap. I thought of how many times I had been disappointed believing, that old favorites of anything could create the same pleasure I derived from them when they were new.

I turned away from the wooden case and went to the shelf, which had my new, trusted, favorite wine with a cork in it. I picked up the bottle reassured, walked to the counter and happily paid the clerk. I was confident that my new, favorite, wine had the flavor and aroma, that pleased my palate without risking embarrassment or disappointment brought about from my misplaced faith in an old favorite, that I could no longer trust.

HUNGER (and the first L.A. Steel Internet Show)

HUNGER (and the first L.A. Steel Internet Show)
11/22/06

This essay was inspired by the following article we read on our new internet radio show, that began last night 11/22/06.

USA DISSES UN HUMAN FOOD RIGHTS. (PLENGLISH.COM) United Nations,Nove 18 (Prensa Latina) The government of President George W. Bush shamed the United States into international isolation after it rejected a UN resolution defending the human right to food.

After a week of UN debates on humanitarian affairs, US diplomats were the only ones to vote against a resolution supporting the Right to Food. The related text was sponsored by an unusual majority of 131 countries, and another 44 UN member states yesterday voted in favor.

Diplomats at the debates agreed the US delegation’s stance ignored the right of every person to not suffer from hunger. The approved proposal reaffirms “hunger is a disgrace and violates human dignity,” they sustained.

—————————————————————————————————————————-

It’s the morning of 11/23/06 Thanksgiving Day in the U.S when the majority of the people in the country are making pigs of themselves. Today Americans try to ignore the rest of the world, having spent millions and perhaps billions on traveling to “Grandma’s House” to stuff their faces for the next two or three days.

I’m writing this as I smell the turkey cooking, and have just been assigned the duty of making my mashed potatoes and turnip, onions special. I’m writing this in anticipation of sitting down in a few hours to enjoy a feast. I do feel guilty, I do feel bad that I can’t share the food with a starving individual. I do feel bad when I think that most of the country is doing the same thing.

I feel miserable that the USA dissed the UN Human Food Rights Resolution. I have tried to do some more research on this resolution to find out why the U.S diplomats refused to agree to it. I have to wonder if this was a one-way deal. Did the U.N expect the U.S to feed the entire world? Did they expect us to be the world’s great humanitarian service? I don’t know yet, but I hope to find out more about it before tonight’s program.

I’m sure that Europeans are enjoying food today and every day. I’m sure that most people around the world have ample food however, I also am certain that millions and perhaps a billion people in the world do not have ample food today, and maybe tomorrow as well. The new label for Hunger is now Food Insecurity. For some reason I can’t see a starving child crying to his mother “I’m Food Insecure.” or
” I’m severely Food Insecure.”

It’s globalist, New World Order, mass mind manipulation. After the wonderful television display of the Macy Day Parade live from New York with the Rockettes, and all the helium floats and happy people from the suburbs gathered along the parade route until they go home. Everyone with a home or shelter and a place to share a meal in the U.S will eat a Thanksgiving meal. Those approximately 3 million homeless and 30 million “Severely Food Insecure” in America won’t be sharing in the festivities. That’s the American Way. The Republican and Democratic way. That’s the happy American middleclass tradition.

I’m happy to have that privilege of being a middleclass American. I am happy not to be traveling on this holiday. I’m very happy to know that many Americans feel as I do, and will still be able to enjoy Thanksgiving Day with food and family and friends. I’m grateful to all the many good hearted people who are working in the food kitchens and food pantries around the country today feeling the need to help their fellow men and women have enough to eat at least today. I am certain that few if any Americans with the exception of G.W Bush and his entire administration want people anywhere to go hungry. I’m certain that most Americans, even as they bear their own burdens of debt and illness and hardships feel great empathy for all who are” Hungry” today, and any day in the U.S and around the world.

God blesses so many and seems to ignore so many as well. Perhaps he does this to test those who are blessed. Perhaps those who are blessed must understand this to continue to be blessed. All I know is that I am grateful to God and to my fellow Americans that I can enjoy this day with them . As I prepare my special mashed potatoes for company today I will be thinking about those who I cannot share it with. Perhaps just a thought of them in honest sincerity and compassion might be enough for the Universe to smile upon one family to receive a blessing today, and have enough to eat.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my readers I hope you enjoy this day. If you are having anxiety about getting through Turkey Day think for a moment about those who aren’t enjoying the day. Imagine being a retail clerk in a department store tomorrow on America’s Black Friday. If you are working in retail tomorrow I wish you well.

DEEP, BLUE, PURPLE, PANSY

DEEP, BLUE, PURPLE, PANSY
11/12/06

Outside on my front door step sit several red clay pots with various annuals carefully arranged in them. I have forgotten the names of the many flowers that have wilted since Fall began; except in one of the larger pots lives a deep, blue, purple, pansy, unique in its desire for survival.

It is mid November. Most of New England’s annuals have lost their blossoms, and trees have lost their leaves. However, this deep, blue, purple, flower has survived several frosts, rain storms, severe winds, and remains in vigorous bloom.

I am reminded of my own need for resilience, as I admire this flower thriving beyond its season defying all threats of winter, believing it is still spring, and ignoring the fatalistic whispers of falling leaves.

THE FASHION OF POLITICS

THE FASHION OF POLITICS
11/8/06

The supposedly new and improved Democrats have just won the majority in the House of Representatives. What does this really mean to most of America? I so want to believe it might make a difference, but I can’t get excited about the prospects of any great changes being made to the United States. One significant change that may effect Americans is that blue may become the color of American fashion, instead of red. I have noticed the recent trend, that the color red has fallen out of favor with the American public.

I have a red jacket that I often wear during the fall and early winter. I’m thinking of getting another , but not red this time. I’ve had the jacket for three or more years. I liked it when I bought it and still do. It’s classically styled , but I don’t know if it’s fashionable anymore. I don’t know if blue is really fashionable either. I don’t see too many blue jackets or even blue shirts anymore. Plaid is never overly popular for some reason. I think Ronald Reagan was the only man I ever saw who owned a plaid suit. I have an older, wool, red and black plaid, hunting jacket I like to wear once and a while. I’m embarrassed to say how old it is.

The Democrat or Republican Party coming into political favor are much like fall and winter coats. It seems that Americans take off one party and put on another party the same way they change their coats. We seem to get a new red or blue one every four to six years. The media makes certain that the world is made aware of the new American fashion trend, and criticize each new politician, as a collar or button or zipper; that is either too bold or too simple, too under or overstated, or is a definite poor choice and needs immediate correction. Any choice of colors outside of the blue or red spectrum is ridiculed and condemned by all critics and the media, as a horrible fashion faux pas.

I’ve never paid too much attention to current clothing fashion trends; unless I find myself in need of a new coat or other apparel. I prefer nothing too flashy, unless I really want to make a statement. I find it easier and more affordable to just be myself. It often speaks louder to an audience than an Armani suit. Most liberals and Democrats play down the establishment look. They call it” reverse snobbery”. It is a very popular trend amongst the liberal fashion elite, as well as the fashionably unenthused.

I think if I were invited to a Democratic victory celebration for one of the newly elected, I would wear that attire. It would adequately express how I truly feel. I would feel unimpressed, not very enthusiastic, and uneager to indulge in the art of schmoozing. Actually if I were invited to a Democrat or Republican victory celebration I think I would just decline the invitation.

I was invited to a Democratic fundraiser several years ago. A $250.00 a plate dinner and a chance to meet all the Democratic big shots in New England. The ticket was paid for by a real Democratic enthusiast, but I just couldn’t muster up the enthusiasm to want to hob knob with Ted Kennedy, Joe Lieberman, John Kerry or any other Democrat. Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t have gone to a Republican fundraiser either. It just had absolutely no appeal to me. I know I offended my friend, who very rarely speaks to me anymore, but I knew I could have never spent more than 30 seconds with any of these Democratic Icons without showing disgust on my face. I have a very poor poker face, unless I’m drunk and wearing dark sunglasses. I honestly felt that was the only way I could get through that event, and I didn’t want to embarrass my friend. He found another friend to go with him and they had a great time. I was happy that it worked out well for everyone.

The United States has a new blue coat for at least the next two winters. It will take the American voter two more years to decide what hat and accessories to wear with their new coat, or if they need to buy another coat, because they no longer like their new blue coat. Regardless what color or fashion trend is in vogue I still like my jackets and will keep wearing them. I’ve decided not to buy another for a while. A classic quality coat, unlike political parties, never goes out of style.

SADDAM HUSSEIN IS TO BE HUNG IN 30 DAYS, G.W BUSH SHOULD BE HUNG WITH HIM.

SADDAM HUSSEIN IS TO BE HUNG IN 30 DAYS, G.W BUSH SHOULD BE HUNG WITH HIM.
11/5/06

In my poll that asks readers to vote for the impeachment of G.W Bush, 38percent of all voters said that he should be hung for high crimes and treason. 25 percent said he should just be impeached. 38 percent of participants said he should not be impeached or hung. I didn’t realize I had so many Bush supporters reading my site. Well, despite his poll support being equal to those wanting him hung, I believe that George W. should be strung up right alongside of Saddam. Except Bush should be strung up by his testicles and hung like a pig in a slaughter house, to simulate a part of the inflicted pain , torture and murder he’s authorized and encouraged, on over 650,000 Iraqis in the last four years. Rumsfeld should be boiled in oil in Uzbekistan under rendition and Cheney should be sentenced to the rest of his pathetic life standing on his head in a pile of human dung. (Other ideas for Cheney’s sentence are welcomed; I wouldn’t want anyone to think he might be enjoying himself.)

Alberto Gonzalez should be sodomized publicly by Abu Gharib interrogators in a live presentation offered to the world on Pay Per View and free on Aljazeera. Wolfowicz should be forced to sing the Iraqis national anthem with his testicles attached to an electrocution device set to maximum voltage. Condoleezza Rice should be placed in a pit and stoned by the Iraqis, Lebanese and Palestinian peoples for allowing their horrid slaughter and genocide, without any diplomatic intervention, and for her complete and utter cruelty and incompetence.

All other G.W Bush accomplices in the Iraqis atrocities and genocide should be simply shot. Hanging is too good for these bastards. Why waste the rope? Just line up the entire Bush Administration and let a military firing squad pump all the depleted uranium bullets they have in the U.S arsenal at these traitorous greedy sons of bitches. Next go after what’s left of the incumbents in Congress. Open the bio weapons arsenal and spray the bastards without conscience, the way Bush did to 300,000 protestors last September.

So, bye, bye, Saddam your destiny awaits you. May God be just and merciful, and hang G.W Bush, at the same time he decides to let you hang from your rope.

IS JOHN KERRY KARL ROVE’S OCTOBER SURPRIZE ?

IS JOHN KERRY KARL ROVE’S OCTOBER SURPRIZE ?
11/1/06

How appropriate, how Rovian it is to have Bush’s Skull and Bones brother and third cousin John Kerry, suicide bomb the Democratic lead in the midterm elections. Has anyone considered the possibility that the “Democrat’s Designated Loser” John Kerry would deliberately insult the American Military, on the last day of October. Why would he do that you might ask? Because that is what he does. That is what he is. He’s a designated loser. His claim to fame in 1971 was his loser stance of his indictment before the Congress of his fellow soldiers, as “war criminals” in the Vietnam War. In 2004 he decided to run for President. He was the first candidate to announce, and before the Iowa Caucus he was polled at 25 points behind front runner Howard Dean. He was even running behind Al Sharpton.Suddenly out of nowhere Kerry wins the Iowa Caucus with the help of the political suicide of Dick Gephardt. Major questions arose from the Iowa Caucus upset that have never been answered.

One: What was the deal Kerry made in Iowa?

Two: Why was Howard Dean such a threat to the Democrats, or was he?(See my archives for (Howard Dean the Judas Goat) article.

Three: Why did the press jump all over Dean’s famous yell and destroy his candidacy, then Dean was given his current position as Head of the DNC.

Four: What happened to all the money Dean raised and never spent? $90 million dollars was reported earned during his campaign, when he dropped out of the race after the New Hampshire Primary. $40 million was reported spent. $10 million went to Joe Trippi as campaign manager and $30 million was reported spent on the campaign. That leaves $50 million unspent and according to U.S campaign laws the candidate can keep what has not been spent.

Five: What happened to all the money Kerry raised and never spent? $90 million dollars were raised, again only $40 million was reported spent on the campaign. What happened to the other $50 million. Did it go into Kerry’s pockets? Yes it did. It seems that $50 million is the price for a Democratic candidate to concede from a Presidential race and throw a Presidential election.

Six: Why did Kerry immediately concede when he was well aware of the voter fraud in Ohio and Florida. If he would have demanded a recount in either state he would have exposed the Republican fraud and won the election; but instead he cowardly conceded with $ 50 million dollars in his war chest. I guess that wasn’t enough money for him or else his job for Skull and Bones isn’t finished yet, and he runs again in 2008. The sad truth is there are many idiot Democrats who would send him more money.

Kerry was totally complicit in the destruction of the Democratic Party, after his statement yesterday and his insistence that he will not apologize is all the proof Americans need to indict him as a traitor to his party and a traitor to America. As for the Democratic Party they are full of traitors and incompetents, as is the Republican party. I dislike and distrust both political parties. I understand the system and I understand what John Kerry is. He is a culprit of complicity , a Skull and Bones man , a member of a satanic order founded at Yale University for the sole purpose of creating leaders, that will bring about the New World Order; and owe their lives and sole allegiance to that order and the Brotherhood. Kerry and G.W Bush are both frat brothers of Skull and Bones, as well as third cousins. John Kerry is the” designated loser “of the Democratic Party. His total career has been designed to disgrace the Liberal agenda in American politics, and to insure that there will always be a division in the Senate; between those senators who take their oath of office seriously, and those who are there to disrupt the proper flow of government. In his 25 years in the Senate Kerry has done virtually nothing of note, other than sponsor and co sponsor a handful of bills. What is his real purpose in the Senate? Why has Massachusetts continued to re-elect him? Don’t the voters of Massachusetts see what the rest of the country sees? Obviously not. Many Connecticut voters refuse to see the insidious behavior of Joe Lieberman, or John Rowland, or Chris Dodd or the incompetence of Jodi Rell, our current Republican Governor, and her numerous corrupt appointees, as well as the congressmen, and members of the Democrat controlled state legislature, and all other elected positions held too long by the same people, Secretary of State, Atty General, Treasurer and Comptroller.

Kerry must be brought to his knees by the American public. They must see him for what he is, after his recent remarks about the intelligence level of the U.S Military. I think they do see him for the traitor and fraud that he has been all along. Until the people of this country and the Democratic Party rid themselves of the “Designated Loser” menace, George Bush SR and Junior and Kerry and other frat brothers will keep the people of the United States in their death grip. Expose Kerry and Bush for who and what they are, and their hellish hold on America will be released. Expose the criminals in our government and the media who cover up their crimes, and our country will be free of their tyranny.

Expose the secret societies; that infest our government and leech off the blood of the American Military, the labor of the American worker, and the treasure of the American people. Kerry is only one of many, bloated, well fed, blood suckers, who have burrowed their way into the flesh and blood of our society and feasted on the infected body of the United States Government. Now the once great and strong America is gravely weakened by the crippling diseases of war,corruption and apathy, and covered with unclean, festering wounds. The leeches will continue their blood fest until only a bloodless body remains or all Americans rid themselves of these bloodsuckers, who are gravely infecting the soul of our society.

ONE WEEK BEFORE THE MID TERM ELECTIONS WHO REALLY CARES?

ONE WEEK BEFORE THE MID TERM ELECTIONS WHO REALLY CARES?
10/30/06

Is the cynicism pervasive or is it just me? The only people I see and hear that are at all enthusiastic about the upcoming elections are the candidates , strategists and the pundits paid to be enthusiastic. Everyone else, I think are faking it. I can’t get excited about any of it. What for? George and Karl aren’t worried because they know they have all the voting machines in the critical states rigged. That’s right rigged. They rigged them in 2000,.2004 and now they have perfected the rigged vote in 2006. All the voter registries have been purged of threatening Democratic voters. All the big city precincts have been changed or closed and no one has been notified, and all the major districts have been gerrymandered to favor Republicans. Even if no Republican voted, the machines are rigged to give Republican incumbents landslide victories.

Oh the Democrats won’t put up with that! Oh my, dainty Democrats would never allow a defeat again! Why not? A Democratic defeat means they don’t have to do anything for the next two years but bitch about Republicans. The big bad Democrats didn’t challenge the vote rigging in 2004, and conceded without a fight in 2000 why should they put up any fight in 2006? It’s not up to them to fight; it’s up to the people who are getting screwed. Let’s face it I’ve been fighting this fucked up system for years and nothing is getting any better. I don’t believe that a Democratic Majority would be any better than a Republican Majority. I don’t think the average American or pundit have a clue what either party stands for or even really cares; as long as the reporters and commentators read the monitor the way they are told to they get paid. Keith Olberman’s rants are a pathetic joke written by pathetic jokes, paid for by pathetic joke news corporations with corporate, military agendas. Who is kidding who? Why is a weird looking, sports nerd, suddenly the great American Liberal mouthpiece? Why Olberman? Because he’s the least threatening cable news show host next to John Stewart. Even John Stewart is more threatening than Olberman. My dead and buried cat is more threatening than Olberman.

I live in Connecticut and I predict Joe “The Moe” Lieberworm will win the senate election. I think he will win because the voters of Ct. are the most screwed up people in the country. They insist on corruption and indifference in their elected officials. They must have a corrupt Republican Governor and a do nothing Democratic legislature. They have for almost 20 years. They think it gives the state balance. It gives the state nothing more than cronyism and corruption and that is the way Connecticut voters like it. Stay the course, change is bad, Connecticut Democrats are the most confused people in the world. Blue state with a Red Governor.

Massachusetts is just as bad. It has a Republican governor and a Democratic legislature that approved Gay Marriage. Two completely inept Senators, Ted Kennedy and John Kerry. What the hell is wrong with this picture? Neither party stands for a damned thing, or has a clue how to lead this country. All independent candidates are banned from the debates and virtually from the ballot. I think there is no longer a reason to think about American politics. All elections are totally rigged months before any election takes place. The Election Day in the U.S is simply a big show for the rest of the world, like the Fourth of July, no one anywhere else in the world believes Americans have free elections. They all know they are rigged and they know that Americans are the most stupid people on the planet; because they still believe that their vote really counts for something. Its only for show. Even Jimmy Carter said he would never monitor an American election because they are all rigged. So why is anyone planning to vote? Spend the day enjoying a great drunk , get stoned, get laid, get happy because any of the above mentioned activities a is far more productive ways of spending one’s time on November 7th, 2006 than voting in these elections.

I won’t talk any more about American politics. It just infuriates me to the point of not caring. It infuriates me into an anarchic state of mind; until I am numb with senseless anger and frustration! Why did I ever think that I made any difference to the democratic system, or that my pathetic token vote really meant anything? 650,000 Iraqis are dead and thousands of American soldiers died needlessly; because I thought that my worthless vote could actually stop them from being killed. I was a fool to think I mattered at all in this planned genocide. I never mattered, nor has anyone else outside the real power loop. We are just a show for all the people in the rest of the world to think that their vote counts too. Simply a show that is all we are. Worth less than a dead Iraqis or dead Lebanese, or dead Sudanese, or dead Afghani, or dead Congolese, or dead Sandinistas or dead Contras or dead Japanese, or dead Germans, or dead Jews, or dead Palestinians and dead forgotten billions, who all thought their votes had counted.

EXPOSING A NERVE

EXPOSING A NERVE
10/19/06

Pain seems to be the only thing that will create the need in someone to change their way of thinking. Even when pain becomes too excruciating to ignore some people will still try to ignore it. When we have a toothache we immediately find a way to relieve the pain. First we might find a pain killer pill, then if that doesn’t work we might still seek a remedy without going to the dentist. Then if all fails and the pain persists we go to a dentist, or continue to ignore the pain, until we drive ourselves insane or die from severe infection. This I fear is what Americans do, regarding their excruciatingly painful, government. Rather than fix it or completely extract the pain giving problem , we choose to ignore it , medicate it, or allow it to fester and become so infected that the body politic needs immediate and radical surgery, or it will die.

In some instances pain can be so great, that it will lead some people to suicide. In some instances pain cannot be stopped and the poor individual must live with it or learn to ignore it. Many people are talented at ignoring pain. They can completely ignore their own suffering or the suffering of others, by their deliberate denial that the pain exists. The man or women is homeless because they want to be. The murderer kills because he or she wants to kill. The parent abuses their child because the child is defenseless and annoying. None of these people feel the pain of their victims. None of these ignorers have any sympathy for anyone; perhaps they suffer great pain and feel that no one has sympathy for them. It appears to be the American Republican motto. “All for me none for you, life is tough and people suffer so what?” But I cannot blame just one political party for the woes of Americans. I blame all who ignore humanity’s suffering. I even blame myself.

I believe it is in the human character perhaps our DNA to ignore the pain and suffering of our fellow human beings as well as all other earthly species. In some way it is a self preserving reflex or instinct. In other ways it is simply a disturbing and unconscionable act of human cruelty. It has always disturbed me and empathically caused me pain, to see another person physically suffer. The most unendurable pain to me is to see a child suffer. To see an innocent , perfect, being in pain or sick with a minor or major illness. The world is a harsh place to exist in. It has many great perils facing the human body and spirit; but the worst peril is that of human indifference to the suffering and pain of others.

Writing about this issue makes me pause, when I think of the suffering I have knowingly or unknowingly caused others; as well as the suffering others have knowingly or unknowingly caused me. When I was very young I was often harassed and bullied by larger and older children. I wasn’t small nor was I weak but I was self involved, self centered, awkward, self conscious, and overly sensitive. I always thought first about the repercussions of striking back a physical blow, or wrestling someone to the ground, or picking up a rock or stick and striking my assailants. I had a quick temper that I knew I had to control; otherwise the results could be very severe. Not just for myself but for anyone or anything that it was directed towards. I would allow myself to be taunted by smaller or more mean mouthed kids and walk away from a fight, rather than do battle to preserve my dubious honor. I often cursed myself afterwards for not knocking out my adversary , but I found a greater strength in just knowing I could have honestly killed or crippled someone in my rage and was wiser to walk away, with or without dignity.

Growing up in a rural state a man or boy was regarded by his friends and peers by his success at either winning fights or avoiding fights. To me walking away from a fight was a simple, self protective, instinct for avoiding pain and punishment. To others it was an incentive to inflict pain and punishment on me and others to create their tough reputation. I was a persistent fighter against anyone who bullied or humiliated anyone else. I found it easier to stand up and defend someone else, than it was to defend myself, especially if I was guilty of creating the offense. Often the one being bullied would run and leave me alone after I got involved on his behalf. This didn’t bother me as much as one might think. If I got involved it was because the kid was out sized or out numbered, he was often so frightened, that he couldn’t help himself. I knew that as

soon as someone else is willing to defend someone, even if he doesn’t know that person personally, all would be assailants seem more likely to back down and become far less aggressive. They are suddenly posed with the question of, could this defender cause them pain and or punishment? I was a good bluffer.

I witnessed the severe results of my blind rage early in my life. I knew that if I was forced to unleashed the blind rage that I harbored within me, I was unstoppable. I was capable of fierce violence if unchecked. I was ten years old and in the fifth grade when I first realized the power of my unleashed rage. The time of year was in winter and snow plows would create huge snow banks in the school yard, after commonly occurring blizzards. This particular noon I was chosen by my classmates to be the King of the Hill. I was to stand at the top of the large snow bank and defend the hill from anyone who tried to take it from me. It was a typical kids game that could get a little rough, but teachers allowed it and it was normal winter play at the time. As I boldly stood at the top of the giant snow bank I was immediately rushed upon by 6 of my classmates all at once, all contenders to be King. I was more than happy to abdicate my throne to any worthy contender, but I was rushed upon by six contenders at once and shortly after they were joined by three others, once I seemed to be defeated. This sudden attack caught me off guard and the force of my attackers was like being crushed by an entire football team all at once. I struck the back of my head against a hard mound of ice and felt immense pain while I was being held down by six of my attackers. I felt great peril and the pain caused by falling on the ice mound began to increase, as did my rage. For several minutes I saw little if anything going on around me. I only saw many legs and the tops of heads in ski caps, and feet in heavy snow boots. I began to strike out in a blind rage at everyone nearby, kicking and punching and biting everyone who held me down and tried to push me off the snow bank.
The thought of being King of the Hill had nothing to do with my raging defense. Only anger and self survival were at issue. I can remember the feeling of drowning , gasping for air as several attackers rubbed snow in my face , which was called “face washing”. In what seemed to me like seconds, but later I was told were several minutes, I had managed to kick , bite , scratch and punch my way out of their hold, and inflict semi serious injuries to most of my attackers. After what seemed as a short time had elapsed, I found myself alone on top of the snow bank . Spots of blood stained the snow, as I felt a twinge of pain at the back of my head and on my cheek. I wiped my half frozen face with the back of my ungloved hand and saw blood , then as I wiped off the snow from my eyes and nose, blood streamed from my nose as I looked for my lost glove in the snow bank, and saw several trails of blood and heard several voices crying and others calling for help.

I realized then that I had wounded and hurt all nine contenders for my throne without realizing I had done it. It was a strange feeling , one I never wanted to have again. When accounts of my savage defense were relayed across the school yard and around the small town, my reputation had been made. Not that I was particularly proud of it, but I was seldom ever provoked again by anyone including adults. The King of the Hill game was forever banned from the playground by the principle, and I was forced to spend a week without going out for recess. I tried to explain it wasn’t my fault but because of the carnage I had inflicted and the stories that were told of the incident, I was made the culprit instead of the victim. Since then I have somewhat kept successful control of my temper, by finding other more creative methods of venting anger.

I regret divulging such a weakness in my character but I realize that all human beings are capable of blind rage. All are capable of committing atrocities regardless of how meek or weak they may seem to others and even to themselves. Perhaps this is why so many rage filled and mindless acts of violence are committed daily, by seemingly mild mannered, normal, people around the world?

There is a great rage building amongst Americans and in other countries towards Americans. There are millions of people who are losing a grip on their lives every day, and lashing out frantically at everything and everyone around them. I see it as we all do, on our television screens and in our schools, on our streets and in our work places. The sheer magnitude of mindless violence raging everywhere is symptomatic of the pain we are all feeling. It is a symptom of the festering wounds of the blatant corruption and callous indifference of our government, towards the people they are supposed to serve. These seeping wounds are inflicted, infected and inflamed by the neglect and denial of Americans of their simple and most basic human need. That need is love, which allows all humanity to exist and thrive by awakening within the collective soul , the desire for wisdom ,justice, compassion and mercy. Without the restoration of these virtues in our government and society, our world cannot exist much longer. Without these, all noble dreams and visions of universal brotherhood are fast eroding by disease and decay, and will continue to erode, until only undeniable pain exists from the exposure of mankind’s most debased self leading to the eventual suicide of our entire species.

Pain seems to be the only thing that will create the need in someone to change their way of thinking. Even when pain becomes too excruciating to ignore some people will still try to ignore it. When we have a toothache we immediately find a way to relieve the pain. First we might find a pain killer pill, then if that doesn’t work we might still seek a remedy without going to the dentist. Then if all fails and the pain persists we go to a dentist, or continue to ignore the pain, until we drive ourselves insane or die from severe infection. This I fear is what Americans do, regarding their excruciatingly painful, government. Rather than fix it or completely extract the pain giving problem , we choose to ignore it , medicate it, or allow it to fester and become so infected that the body politic needs immediate and radical surgery, or it will die.

In some instances pain can be so great, that it will lead some people to suicide. In some instances pain cannot be stopped and the poor individual must live with it or learn to ignore it. Many people are talented at ignoring pain. They can completely ignore their own suffering or the suffering of others, by their deliberate denial that the pain exists. The man or women is homeless because they want to be. The murderer kills because he or she wants to kill. The parent abuses their child because the child is defenseless and annoying. None of these people feel the pain of their victims. None of these ignorers have any sympathy for anyone; perhaps they suffer great pain and feel that no one has sympathy for them. It appears to be the American Republican motto. “All for me none for you, life is tough and people suffer so what?” But I cannot blame just one political party for the woes of Americans. I blame all who ignore humanity’s suffering. I even blame myself.

I believe it is in the human character, perhaps our DNA to ignore the pain and suffering of our fellow human beings as well as all other earthly species. In some way it is a self preserving reflex or instinct. In other ways it is simply a disturbing and unconscionable act of human cruelty. It has always disturbed me and empathically caused me pain, to see another person physically suffer. The most unendurable pain to me is to see a child suffer. To see an innocent , perfect, being in pain or sick with a minor or major illness. The world is a harsh place to exist in. It has many great perils facing the human body and spirit; but the worst peril is that of human indifference to the suffering and pain of others.

Writing about this issue makes me pause, when I think of the suffering I have knowingly or unknowingly caused others; as well as the suffering others have knowingly or unknowingly caused me. When I was very young I was often harassed and bullied by larger and older children. I wasn’t small nor was I weak but I was self involved, self centered, awkward, self conscious, and overly sensitive. I always thought first about the repercussions of striking back a physical blow, or wrestling someone to the ground, or picking up a rock or stick and striking my assailants. I had a quick temper that I knew I had to control; otherwise the results could be very severe. Not just for myself but for anyone or anything that it was directed towards. I would allow myself to be taunted by smaller or more mean mouthed kids and walk away from a fight, rather than do battle to preserve my dubious honor. I often cursed myself afterwards for not knocking out my adversary , but I found a greater strength in just knowing I could have honestly killed or crippled someone in my rage and was wiser to walk away, with or without dignity.

Growing up in a rural state a man or boy was regarded by his friends and peers by his success at either winning fights or avoiding fights. To me walking away from a fight was a simple, self protective, instinct for avoiding pain and punishment. To others it was an incentive to inflict pain and punishment on me and others to create their tough reputation. I was a persistent fighter against anyone who bullied or humiliated anyone else. I found it easier to stand up and defend someone else, than it was to defend myself, especially if I was guilty of creating the offense. Often the one being bullied would run and leave me alone after I got involved on his behalf. This didn’t bother me as much as one might think. If I got involved it was because the kid was out sized or out numbered, he was often so frightened, that he couldn’t help himself. I knew that as

soon as someone else is willing to defend someone, even if he doesn’t know that person personally, all would be assailants seem more likely to back down and become far less aggressive. They are suddenly posed with the question of, could this defender cause them pain and or punishment? I was a good bluffer.

I witnessed the severe results of my blind rage early in my life. I knew that if I was forced to unleashed the blind rage that I harbored within me, I was unstoppable. I was capable of fierce violence if unchecked. I was ten years old and in the fifth grade when I first realized the power of my unleashed rage. The time of year was in winter and snow plows would create huge snow banks in the school yard, after commonly occurring blizzards. This particular noon I was chosen by my classmates to be the King of the Hill. I was to stand at the top of the large snow bank and defend the hill from anyone who tried to take it from me. It was a typical kids game that could get a little rough, but teachers allowed it and it was normal winter play at the time. As I boldly stood at the top of the giant snow bank I was immediately rushed upon by 6 of my classmates all at once, all contenders to be King. I was more than happy to abdicate my throne to any worthy contender, but I was rushed upon by six contenders at once and shortly after they were joined by three others, once I seemed to be defeated. This sudden attack caught me off guard and the force of my attackers was like being crushed by an entire football team all at once. I struck the back of my head against a hard mound of ice and felt immense pain while I was being held down by six of my attackers. I felt great peril and the pain caused by falling on the ice mound began to increase, as did my rage. For several minutes I saw little if anything going on around me. I only saw many legs and the tops of heads in ski caps, and feet in heavy snow boots. I began to strike out in a blind rage at everyone nearby, kicking and punching and biting everyone who held me down and tried to push me off the snow bank.
The thought of being King of the Hill had nothing to do with my raging defense. Only anger and self survival were at issue. I can remember the feeling of drowning , gasping for air as several attackers rubbed snow in my face , which was called “face washing”. In what seemed to me like seconds, but later I was told were several minutes, I had managed to kick , bite , scratch and punch my way out of their hold, and inflict semi serious injuries to most of my attackers. After what seemed as a short time had elapsed, I found myself alone on top of the snow bank . Spots of blood stained the snow, as I felt a twinge of pain at the back of my head and on my cheek. I wiped my half frozen face with the back of my ungloved hand and saw blood , then as I wiped off the snow from my eyes and nose, blood streamed from my nose as I looked for my lost glove in the snow bank, and saw several trails of blood and heard several voices crying and others calling for help.

I realized then that I had wounded and hurt all nine contenders for my throne without realizing I had done it. It was a strange feeling , one I never wanted to have again. When accounts of my savage defense were relayed across the school yard and around the small town, my reputation had been made. Not that I was particularly proud of it, but I was seldom ever provoked again by anyone including adults. The King of the Hill game was forever banned from the playground by the principle, and I was forced to spend a week without going out for recess. I tried to explain it wasn’t my fault but because of the carnage I had inflicted and the stories that were told of the incident, I was made the culprit instead of the victim. Since then I have somewhat kept successful control of my temper, by finding other more creative methods of venting anger.

I regret divulging such a weakness in my character but I realize that all human beings are capable of blind rage. All are capable of committing atrocities regardless of how meek or weak they may seem to others and even to themselves. Perhaps this is why so many rage filled and mindless acts of violence are committed daily, by seemingly mild mannered, normal, people around the world?

There is a great rage building amongst Americans and in other countries towards Americans. There are millions of people who are losing a grip on their lives every day, and lashing out frantically at everything and everyone around them. I see it as we all do, on our television screens and in our schools, on our streets and in our work places. The sheer magnitude of mindless violence raging everywhere is symptomatic of the pain we are all feeling. It is a symptom of the festering wounds of the blatant corruption and callous indifference of our government, towards the people they are supposed to serve. These seeping wounds are inflicted, infected and inflamed by the neglect and denial of Americans of their simple and most basic human need. That need is love, which allows all humanity to exist and thrive by awakening within the collective soul , the desire for wisdom ,justice, compassion and mercy. Without the restoration of these virtues in our government and society, our world cannot exist much longer. Without these, all noble dreams and visions of universal brotherhood are fast eroding by disease and decay, and will continue to erode, until only undeniable pain exists from the exposure of mankind’s most debased self leading to the eventual suicide of our entire species.

MONEY IS EVERYTHING ISN’T IT?

MONEY IS EVERYTHING ISN’T IT?
10/11/06

I have wanted and needed money just as every man ,woman and child in the world has. Every saint and every sinner needs money. Every saintly institution in the world needs money to exist and their followers, founders and board of directors either personally donate to the institution or find ways of raising money for the institution. If the saintliest of men and women grovel for the dollar, yen or euro, what does that say about the primary importance of money? Is money more important than God? Is money God? What kind of a God is money? I don’t know the God of money, Mammon. I don’t think I ever knew him. That is probably why I’ve never considered money as a God. I’ve known people who have. I know people who don’t realize that they worship Mammon, but they do. Not only do they worship him, but they continue to be enslaved willingly to him.

A friend of mine whose opinion I once trusted as a bell weather or guide for the most altruistic motives admitted to me that he wasn’t a pure altruist, but he was a guilt ridden altruist, who felt he was a slave to the financial system. He used a bank. He needed a credit card. He was afraid not to pay his taxes. He was a reluctant slave to Mammon and he suffered for his blasphemy by his guilt and shame that he could not shake off the system. He felt everyone including himself, who was enslaved willingly was a hypocrite of the highest order. To him I am a complete sinner because I fully acknowledge and accept my need for money however, I feel that the Great God , the creator of all things must of understood man’s need for commerce, his need for material goods to survive on this planet, and his need for money. He knew that man would have to find ways of creating money to survive in the world, so he created work. But he gave mankind a free will to choose what type of work each individual wanted to pursue. Is it work to pick an apple from a tree to eat when you are hungry? Is it work for someone to plant a seed or seeds in the ground and wait for it to grow and be harvested? Many feel joy in their work and do not see their work as a form of slavery or indebtedness to a corporation or individual master. They choose their work for the money or the joy it gives them. The truly blessed person is someone who creates great wealth from something he enjoys working at. This is my life’s goal. To create enough money to continue the work I so enjoy doing. To write, produce a radio talk show and to produce a weekly television program and expand their broadcast to larger audiences. These things I love to do and think of doing. Unfortunately like all creative professions they don’t always make one a millionaire.

The sad fact is most artists, writers, musicians and lovers of what they do starve to death. The saddest truth to this statement is that many of the very best creative minds have starved or been imprisoned , tortured , humiliated or died in obscurity because of their obsessive love for their work of discovering truth. They became slaves to their own egos. Wow! They chose death rather than prostituting their ideal of who they thought they were. Several received immortality and the gratitude of future generations for their sacrifice to their ideals. Others died unknown and have remained unknown because they either had no talent and discovered that too late or, they always knew they had little talent in their profession but chose to pursue the life because; they still received great joy and personal, spiritual gratification from their work.

Emerson created a wonderful essay entitled the Law of Compensation. I suggest everyone read it at least once in their life. I have personally read it at least 50 times. His brilliance, encapsulated in the Law of Compensation the most powerful of all universal laws. To paraphrase the concept of this essay does not do it justice however, I will attempt to explain this law in a brief summary for my readers. For every action there is an equal reaction. Every positive or negative human endeavor is justly compensated for. Compensation is not always monetary. Compensation can be received in many ways both positive and negative. But if we do honest work for ourselves or our employers or our family and friends, then the compensation we receive could be in many ways. Just to be rewarded for your work in money seems such a very shallow reason for doing the work. Doing work for reasons of personal satisfaction knowing that you have put great effort into something bigger than yourself, something that will lead to something greater in the future or will bring a smile to your spouse’s eyes and a joy and pride to your child is a far greater reward than a few dollars of paper money.

That is the essence of love, parenthood and childhood. The hard work we perform in all tasks either for monetary compensation or for joy all have their immediate and long-term reward. The Law of Compensation is defined in the fundamental laws of physics. For every high there is a low for every joy there is sadness. For every moment we live there is an opportunity to learn, to experience joy, to create something never before created that will serve us or others. For every life there is death. All nature has its basic laws. The four seasons, the sun rises and sets, the oceans rise and fall with the tides. These are as steady as a heartbeat, as regular as waking in the morning and sleeping at night. If there is a long drought or a long period of rain, nature will eventually correct itself. In this way those who suffer greatly for a long period of time can be certain of there just compensation in the hearts and minds of those who love and care for them, or in a sudden flood of good fortune, a miraculous healing or sudden wealth or finding love or success never before imagined.

Mr. Emerson was correct in his definition of the Law of Compensation. It is an unbending Law. I have seen it in action in my own life and in the lives around me. I have no envy for all who do better than I do or have more than I do. In my own heart I know I will always have enough and, the harder I work at what I love to do the greater I will be compensated for it. As I practice, learn , create, feel , love and hate, I am moving forward . As a farmer plows his fields and plants his seeds, he knows that the Fall will reward him with a harvest. It is the same for all professions. If one has not achieved a harvest worthy of his efforts, then his talents or efforts may not yet be equal to the compensation he desires. If I am a student of art and not yet a master I cannot rightfully expect to be paid as a master. Once I achieve a master’s status, then I can rightfully claim a master’s fee for my services. The world automatically recognizes a master often before the master identifies the mastery of his skill in himself. Mastery is a mental state of confidence in one’s own work and achievements. It is that confidence that creates the confidence in others, to commission the master and reward him or her fairly for their talent and skill. Under the Law of Compensation Emerson states; “we cannot be cheated, nor can we cheat ourselves.” Each disappointment is a lesson; each failure is a learning opportunity. The death of a loved one, a personal illness or hardship we endure, creates a “genius” within us that will create the opportunity for our ultimate success and happiness

Money isn’t everything , it is a tool that mankind uses to trade services and we can charge whatever price we want or give away our service . But we will never go unrewarded. Unwavering faith in ourselves and faith in our goals will eventually lead us to the fulfillment of unimaginable success.

PALEO-LIBERALS, RATS, IDIOTS AND PROVOCATEURS

PALEO-LIBERALS, RATS, IDIOTS AND PROVOCATEURS
10/9/06

I was accused recently by one of my radio show listeners for being “an embarrassment to the Liberal Progressive Community.” The listener didn’t call in his complaint, instead wrote the letter to my station manager complaining that I should not be allowed on the air. He didn’t have enough (courage) commitment to even sign the letter. I wish to clarify my political leanings. I have never been nor will I ever be a member of the “Liberal Progressive Community”. First and foremost I have never belonged to any political party. Secondly I have never belonged to any specific “Progressive Community”. The Paleo-liberal community at large seems to have somehow taken the pseudonym of Progressive in response to the conservative attack against them for the last 20 years. But all it has amounted to is, (pardon my metaphor) putting lipstick on a very, very old lady. It hasn’t changed anything.

Some of the most closed minded SOB’s that I have ever met have called and still call themselves Liberals. You know who they are. The guy who stands in a picket line with the biggest Anti War sign and starts to argue with everyone who believes 911 was a conspiracy. Or the guy who has these old liberal war stories that he marched in every war rally since the Korean War and marched with Martin Luther King (like Lieberman did) . The left leaner who says he’s a big congressman and senator letter writer and has 10 different web sites. He says; you must join his group of the “Paleo Progressives” who believe in the U.S two party, democracy, love the Democratic Party and hate young punks; who just don’t understand the old tried and true liberal way of believing in and donating to the Democratic Party Candidates. These are the fools who want everyone to think that Kerry and Edwards lost fair and square in 2004, and that voting fraud doesn’t exist in the United States. Otherwise PBS or CNN or the paleoliberal’s sacred New York Times would have done an expose on it.

Personally I like conservatives. Not all but some. I like the minutemen. I like militia volunteers. I like Constitutionalists, I like Libertarians, I even get a kick out of watching Pat Buchanan or Tucker Carlson try to defend Republican virtues. I don’t really dislike anyone except G.W Bush and his minions. I feel that any red blooded American with any sense in his head feels the same way, regardless what his political preferences might be. Truth is Truth regardless what or who you are. If you can’t face it then you have no right knocking someone else who does face facts.

Fact: George W. Bush is a war criminal and the worst American President to ever hold office. Fact: The 2000 and 2004 national election were stolen by the Republicans. Documented evidence proves that over 3 million Democratic votes were never counted in the 2004 election. More than 90,000 Democratic Florida voters were illegally purged by Katharine Harris and Jebb Bush; who authorized Choice Point, a data collection company to purge the Florida Voter Registry in 2000. Fact: The Ralph Nader voters had nothing to do with Gore and Lieberman loosing the 2000 election. The fix was in already. As a Nader voter in 2000, I can attest that I would never have cast my independent vote for Gore and Lieberman nor would I have voted for Bush Cheney. Both party candidates made me sick. As did Kerry and Bush in 2004. Fact: Both Kerry and Bush are members of the Skull and Bones Fraternity. Gore’s family fortune is derived from big oil. Lieberman’s supporters are the Jewish Lobby, big business and Republicans. Fact: Anyone who would call themselves a Progressive Liberal and ignore these facts is either an idiot a rat or a provocateur.

An idiot would stand for anything just for something to do on the weekends. A rat would have some ulterior motive for causing an argument with anyone to take down names and send them to Lieberman’s TIPS program. Could be jealousy, could be he’s a psycho or sociopath, and could be he’s just a jerk who thinks he’s patriotic. A provocateur would be hired by the Bush Gang, FBI, CIA, NSA etc. to infiltrate any Anti War or peace group or third party, to spy on and try to disrupt these organizations.

These nasty creatures are everywhere and you can be sure one or more of them are in many groups not necessarily Liberal. The leaders at the head of these groups are often the rats, the idiots or the provocateurs. Fact: I’ve known of more than one in my life and that is why I do not belong to any political group or community. My programs are my views and the views I agree with. I resent all Paleo Liberals disguised as anything progressive. They are an insult to the concepts of Liberalism and Progressivism. Beware fellow pilgrims, regardless of which way you seek truth. Deceit is often spoken from the seemingly old sage, who has sold his own soul long ago, and despises anyone who has not.

DEMOCRATIC DYSLEXIA AND REPUBLICAN DEMENTIA

DEMOCRATIC DYSLEXIA AND REPUBLICAN DEMENTIA
10/6/06

The problems with the two political parties in the United States I believe are essentially medical. Democrats suffer from severe dyslexia , a reading disability that creates serious problems in their reading of legislation put before the Congress. It is the only possible reason why over 90% of the bills passing the House and Senate of the United States are not read by the Democratic Party members. This would explain why so many bills are worthless mounds of undecipherable garble that allot trillions of dollars of borrowed money to thousands of unknown sources. Many of our most exhaustive and expensive public programs such as the Energy Bill and Medicare and the Defense budget were written by lobbyists and passed by the House and Senate with little opposition. Dyslexia must be the prerequisite for Democratic, elected officials in the current U.S government.

Dementia is the only possible explanation for the policies of G.W Bush and the Republican Majority in the House and Senate. Complete and utter madness. Dementia coupled with dyslexia insures the most incomprehensible government in the world. The United States is ruled by a government that is completely incompetent and out of control. The power of an empire is placed in the hands of illiterate and demented leaders incapable of creating a comprehensive plan of effective government. American voters elect leaders who are obviously unable to read and comprehend the U.S Constitution, which they have taken an oath to uphold.

What other reason could their be that would create such complete and utter chaos? It is almost impossible to believe that an institution as large and complex as the U.S Government got that way through total incompetence. No, it has become a disaster because it has been plagued by incompetent and demented leaders of a ridiculous, impregnable, two party political system; that automatically prevents any sane individual or third political party from gaining access to seats of power. ” A madman believes his own logic and ever drives it further.” Sane and rational individuals can recognize the madmen in there government as they recognize madmen throughout their society. The problem is, how to determine what is rational and sane, if two thirds of the entire United States society has gone mad, and those they elect to office and place in charge of our government are insane.

Who determines madness? Madness is often discovered in stages of recognition. I think we as a society are nearing our final stage of madness. That stage being one of complete paranoia, obsessive compulsive greed , coupled with extreme xenophobic and pedophilic fixations. We as a society are about to implode or explode depending on the genuine influence of mad Christian and corporate evangelists, who can most effectively persuade their faith based, dyslectic, demented followers, that the end of the world is near and fascism is God Almighty’s preferred method of ruling the world.

TORTURE! TORTURE! TORTURE!

TORTURE! TORTURE! TORTURE!
9/29/06
Many Americans seem to have a strange and obsessive infatuation with torture. A simple glance at the television promotions for the latest horror flicks validates my statement. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is coming out with a sequel and other forgettable gore movies are constantly being promoted. For some reason adolescents are the target market for these films serving to breed generations of mass murdering Dahmers, Caseys and Bundys. Has anyone watched a WWF match lately? What was the great fascination with the Christian Right and THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST? I wouldn’t debase my spirit by seeing this movie. What kind of a twisted mind would rush to see a Hollywood version of the barbaric, excruciating punishment and crucifixion of any man much less the Son of God? This vast crowd of mad, Paleolithic, sadistic, masochistic, hypocrites, oohed and awed and some went into convulsions, as their primitive bloodlusts were over satiated by the brutal, graphic depiction of an innocent man of Middle East decent, being humiliated, tortured and murdered.

Maybe the majority of Americans are descendents of a race of cannibals from another planet. Maybe the majority of Americans have an unquenchable bloodlust; that compels them to watch CSI or murder mysteries or serial murder documentaries or other gore ridden television series. That would explain why so many Americans are willing to pay ten dollars for a ticket to watch The Chainsaw Massacre or some other blood filled screening of human debauchery. Maybe that is why so few Americans are outraged at the Bush Torture Bill and the recent approval of that bill by the Senate and the House.

Almost everyone has seen the Abu Gharib pictures of American soldiers torturing Iraqis. Everyone has heard of the secret renditions and sending innocent people to Uzbekistan and other countries to be boiled in oil or castrated or raped and dismembered by their interrogators. Does this serve to excite Americans? Do horrid tales of human debauchery in the name of Christian virtues excite Americans into some barbaric chanting of worship to a demon god who demands human sacrifice? It would appear that way since no American congregations Catholic or Protestant have made any loud objections to the Bush Torture Bill or the American genocide of Iraqis and other Muslims. It appears that the Republican, fundamentalist Christian Base of G.W Bush is far more outraged by stem cell research, abortion rights and God Forbid, gay marriage than allowing the torture, brutal rape and slayings of innocent men, women and children in Iraq , Afghanistan and other Islamic countries. What kind of monsters are these good “Christian” people? What kind of horrible, criminal, creatures have we bred in this country?

There is a serious and terminal illness sweeping the United States. That illness I am sure has some technical medical term, but for the layman like myself who has recognized the disease in millions of Americans, I identify the illness as Aggressive Apathy combined with obsessive self indulgence. We are the only industrialized country in the world to still have capital punishment. We were founded on the economic ideals of Slavery, mass theft of land and resources and the complete genocide of its indigenous people. White Racism is the underlying philosophic principal of American public policies. The hatred of all other races has been apparent throughout our short history. Civil Rights were only allotted to Black and Minority Americans less than 40 years ago, 100 years after the Emancipation Proclamation and the American Civil War. Almost 200 years after the Declaration of Independence and the statement it made to the world that “All Men Are Created Equal”. We still haven’t lived up to that statement and are in peril of losing the rights that have been gained. I feel great shame. I feel a sense of great shame and disgust at the recent actions of my government and those who support the torture and mass killing of other peoples around the world by our military. I know no other term to explain my feelings other than shame. Perhaps American citizenship is not what it appears and never was? To be a” good” American we are told that we must not question Bush’s policies. We must not question the character of the men and women we elect to office. We must not question the election process; we must not question the media. We must look towards all other nations as expedient to our colonial and imperialist ambitions. We must support the genocide of all people who would stand in the way of our corporations reaping gluttonous profits. We must accept the indignity and harsh treatment of workers around the world and in our own country so that a few of our citizens may enjoy their lives of majesty and excessive wealth. We must accept the death and sacrifice of those who we conquer as a sacrifice for democracy. We must accept incompetence and criminality in our government as part of doing business. We must accept world hatred towards us and the rise in threats against our security. We must accept that we are to have no voice in our government and so those who are “good” Americans do exactly all the above. They do nothing but ravenously consume and keep themselves totally ignorant of their government’s involvements. They grumble only when the price of gas becomes too expensive or they can’t afford to get medical attention or Bush meddles with Medicare and Social Security. But war is fine, torture is fine, capital punishment is fine, because my priest and pastor and president say it is. That’s good enough for most Americans.

The United States of America has become the enemy of the world. We have become the mindless monster “God”-Zillah who wrecks havoc on all countries including our own as we smash cities and infrastructures of other nations and devour the defenseless populations around the world. We strike them from the sea, air and land and steal and destroy everything in our blind rage, fueled by our greed and sociopathic corporate – fascist nihilism , driven by ignorance , avarice and the basest traits of our primeval human character; all masked beneath the cancerous hypocrisy of democratic Christian virtue.

“America, America God shun his eyes from thee. Receive thy goods through torture, war and falsehood, from oil rich countries to oil polluted seas.”

ACCORDING TO HUGO CHAVEZ AND THE MAJORITY OF THE U.N GEORGE W. BUSH IS THE DEVIL.

ACCORDING TO HUGO CHAVEZ AND THE MAJORITY OF THE U.N GEORGE W. BUSH IS THE DEVIL.
9/23/06

So why is everyone in America surprised at Hugo Chavez’s statement that George W. Bush is the devil? He is . Anyone with any sense of biblical morality can immediately see the resemblance. He has big pointed ears, he sneers at his opponents, he lies pathologically. He’s known by his closest advisors as “The Reptile” He, his father and his grandfather were all presidents of the satanic fraternity of Skull and Bones. So why is everyone so offended by Hugo Chavez’s remark? Is it because what he said is the truth?

What the mainstream media and all the other hypocrites in the American universe neglected to mention,was the content in the remainder of Hugo Chavez’s brilliant speech he gave before the U.N and received a 40 second standing ovation. The American press neglected to mention that Chavez called for the establishment of a South American Bank to offset the corrupt and draconian lending practices of the IMF and the World Bank. He stated that George W. Bush tried to assassinate him in 2002 and managed to kidnap him, but the attempt was foiled by his security guards and special forces. Chavez and the rest of the world have every right to call G.W Bush the devil because he is.

A recent documentary promoted by CNN, showed children 5 to 14 years of age kneeling before a picture of G.W Bush. At this certain bible school in South Dakota hundreds of children were being brainwashed into believing they were “Warriors for Jesus” by their being taught to fear and hate all who are not Christians. Only the devil would allow such a thing to take place. Only a devil and the Anti Christ would allow children to worship him in place of God. George W. Bush is Satan on earth. Everyone knows it , it is no secret. The Christian right extremists love the idea that George is the Anti Christ to them, they believe the world is now in the times of Tribulation. To these non thinking moral morons George W. Bush is the devil and his time in power has been nearly seven years and almost over and according to their bible then Jesus will rule the world. Oh, I forgot to mention that all the bible thumping Bush worshippers think they will all ascend into heaven via the Rapture before things get really bad here on earth. They all believe and are taught from the pulpit that its up to them to make things as bad as possible to speed up their departure. A biblical prophecy states; “that in the end times Satan and his minions will crowd the earth as human forms to steal the souls of Man. ” I’m not saying it’s the end times, but it is getting a little scary.

Hugo Chavez has done his people proud and he has done all righteous and moral Americans proud by calling George W.Bush THE DEVIL. It’s about time Americans see themselves and their evil leader the way the rest of humanity sees him. 50% of Americans have seen through G.W and his minions and are scared as hell. That means only 150 million devil worshipping morons are keeping G.W in power. It’s time to either wake up or lock up moronic America, because the rest of humanity smells the sulfur and will not allow the world to be consumed by the Devil’s fire.

911/ 06 IS FINALLY OVER

911/06 IS FINALLY OVER

9/12/06

The American Media is hopeless. Television station after station, newspaper after newspaper all have the same story. CSPAN had on the 911 Commissioners to express their apologies for their gross incompetence. G.W had a putrid,primetime,political speech and ABC had a farce Fiction Docudrama . If anyone watched it they must of been captivated by the close up shots of all the conspirators in the Bush Cabinet. I was hysterical watching the passion of Dick Cheney’s character and his sudden malevolent wince as he asked the panicked members of the Bush Cabinet and advisors if they wanted him to take supreme authority in the crisis, while G.W was still reading MY PET GOAT. “We can’t bother the President until we have verification” Verification of what? Two planes had already hit the WTC. The hapless look on the face of the actress who portrayed Condi Rice was priceless. She should get an Emmy for her performance. Condi Rice should have received a Medal of Freedom that Bush handed out to Tenet and Bremer for their total incompetence.

I was very pleased to hear that the Green Party issued a statement yesterday stating that they want another official investigation into the many unanswered questions of 911. That’s great and about time it’s only five years and two invasions late. I noticed that the Subway Sandwich chain has a new ad that ran 4000 times yesterday featuring a conspiracy theorist walking into a Subway Sandwich shop with a video camera. He entered the shop because he suspected Subway of conspiring and concealing something about their sandwiches. He was right, they are covering up their Genetically modified bread, cancer causing food coloring, nitrates in their meats, salmonella on their counters and employees who don’t wash their hands. All the network news programs have done investigations on health risks of fast food restaurants. Once again art mirrors life and the 911 conspiracy is real.

There were two great tragedies on 911, the murder of 3000 innocent victims and the murder of the truth. Americans have been under siege by its own government since 9/11/01. 911 Conspiracy researchers have uncovered a vast wealth of critical information and empirical evidence; that the World Trade Center and Pentagon strikes on 911 were not done by 19 highjackers nor was Osama Bin Ladin responsible. Hundreds of former FBI and CIA employees have stated their knowledge of a cover-up by their agencies. The courage of these Americans is shunned and ridiculed by the tyrannically censored American Media and their brainwashed readers, viewers and listeners. To this day the FBI wanted poster for Osama Bin Laden has no mention of his involvement with the 911 attacks. Recent polls conducted by independent polling firms state that over 50 % of Americans believe Saddam Hussein was involved with 911 and over 90% of our military stationed in Iraq believe Saddam Hussein was responsible for 911. There is no evidence anywhere to prove Iraq’s involvement and this has been stated by G.W Bush himself.

The official 911 defense is a tired story, revised and re revised, cleansed and disinfected by the mainstream media and the misguided and patriotically blinded public. These victims of self induced hysterical blindness still refuse to see all the blatant lies told to them by this current administration. They believe that their president is a holy man and their government would never lie to them. Just as their priests molest their children and yet they also are considered holy men. 911 was not a wakeup call for Americans, instead it was a curfew call to close our eyes and lock our doors and let Bush and his thugs go unchallenged and unquestioned. 911 was the greatest act of treachery and treason ever conceived and carried out by a “democratic” government against its own people.

KATIE COURIC AND THE DEATH OF NETWORK NEWS

KATIE COURIC AND THE DEATH OF NETWORK NEWS
9/8/06

I like 17 million other Couri-ous members of television network news watchers, had to tune in to the CBS Evening News on 9/5/06. I was sorely disappointed that it had been so miss titled. It should have been honestly promoted as THE CBS WOMAN’S MAGAZINE . After 5 minutes of Katie’s cuteness and 5 minutes of ceaseless commercials, I felt that if was tuned into Katie for another minute I’d feel compelled to put a lace curtain over the television set tied on each side with a Martha Stewart bow.

The problem with Katie is that no one really cares what she’s saying. They only care how she looks or if she is smiling or frowning or what she’s wearing. Her interview style must be greatly appreciated by all hearing impaired, even without closed captioning. I’ve never seen her interview anyone without her being cross legged with an above the knee tight skirt and stilettos. Someone was so enamored of Katie’s legs that he created a popular website called Katie Couric’s legs.com .

I read that Katie’s viewership dropped by three million on the second night of The Katie Show. I was one of the those three million who wouldn’t put myself through the suffering again, especially to watch her interview Dubya. The only way I would watch The Katie Show again is if I heard that Al Roper signed with CBS to be co anchor. CBS would be wise to exploit close-ups of their newly purchased 100 million dollar Barbie doll with occasional extreme makeovers, many more leg shots of the perky, former brunette, turning blonde and blonder and by the end of her contract she would be platinum.

If CBS really wanted to change the face of network news they are doing a great job at it but they must continually change Katie’s look if they want to keep the ratings. Dress her up by some famous designers who contribute clothing to the show for a plug in the credits. Instead of the total copyright and trademark infringement of Free Speech TV. Katie’s “free speech” segment on the show should become a” Dress Katie” segment where viewers could email their dress up ideas to her and have her read them on the air. Then she could wear the suggested clothing on the next night’s show. She could feature Condi Rice once a week with Katie interviewing her about her love and devotion to George Bush and the latest seasonal fashions while they both model international designers’ clothing and high healed boot and shoe collections.

The end of the world of male dominated network news has arrived. Venus rules the visual air waves and all men must submit or be neutered. The only remaining refuge for real news, free of mascara, plastic surgery and Barbie doll fixations are male hosted radio news and talk shows.

BUSH VS. AHMADINEJAD AND IRAN’S NEED FOR NUCLEAR WEAPONS

BUSH VS. AHMADINEJAD AND IRAN’S NEED FOR NUCLEAR WEAPONS
8/30/06

If I were Mahmoud Ahmadinejad,I would not consider anything less than a nuclear arsenal for the protection of my country. It would be short sighted and irresponsible to consider a weaker national defense, when faced with threats of a pre emptive strike from Israel or the U.S. If I were internationally labeled an evil man and the people who fairly elected me their nation’s President, were labeled an evil society by a madman,fascist dictator posing as the leader of the free world, I would be extremely angry and extremely aggressive in my dealings with the U.S. How dare the demigods of hypocritical democracies insult and threaten the leader and the people of a sovereign nation? Do they expect that after such insults Iran’s leader and its people should become compliant and whimper as a beaten dog or slave?

How can any rational leader or responsible citizen of any country accept these insults and overt threats from such an obviously insane and corrupt leader as G.W.Bush? One only has to look at the puppet dictators of Saudi Arabia and the other U.S lap dogs of Middle East countries, to realize the absurdity of Dubya’s threats and proclamations of spreading democracy through out the Middle East. The blatant dishonesty, hypocrisy and idiotic diplomacy of the Bush foreign policy makers are an embarrassment to all Americans and an insult to every world leader.

The Bush NeoCon agenda has always been to dominate the Middle East. First for the Caspian Pipe line through Afghanistan, then to undermine and destroy Saddam Hussein and capture the Iraqis oil fields, and to march into Iran and completely control and occupy the Middle East. Read the published plan from the PNAC. It has never been a secret. Read anything on foreign policy written by The American Enterprise Institute, whose membership is comprised of all PNAC members, The Brookings Institute or the Heritage Institute and every other conservative think tank. Every moderately intelligent academic and diplomat in the world knows the true reasons behind Bush’s foreign policy. It isn’t a big secret, except to the moronic American public whose illiteracy rate is the highest of all industrialized countries and on par with most third world countries.

In a recent interview by The Sunday Telegraph in London, former President Jimmy Carter stated” We now have a situation where America is so unpopular overseas that even in countries like Egypt and Jordan our approval ratings are less than 5 percent.” Why is it that everyone else in the entire world can see what Dubya and his gang of foreign policy morons are doing except the red stated, American public? Are these people so stupid, so uninvolved, so apathetic that they do not or will not see Dubya for what he is, even when 95 percent of the people of the world know exactly what he is?

Dubya’s domestic policy is even worse than his foreign policy! He has bankrupted the treasury by borrowing more money than all other presidents combined in the 230 year history of this country. He has led the U.S into a war on totally false pretenses. He has lied to Congress and spent 400 billion dollars on an illegal war that has killed 12,000 U.S soldiers and wounded 30,000. 2800 soldiers died immediately on the battlefield, 10,000 died from their wounds in foreign hospitals. He has defiled the Constitution, destroyed domestic protections to privacy, illegally wiretapped American citizens, decimated the environment by undoing or dismantling every environmental standard and safe guard imposed by law for the last 100 years. He has created a secret PACT with Canada and Mexico that will allow for a complete merge of economies and eventually governments, without the knowledge or consent of the U.S Congress. How the hell can anyone trust this man? How can anyone have any respect whatsoever for this disgraceful,wicked man?

If I were the President of Iran I would definitely have a nuclear arsenal just to insure Dubya understood, that he can not enslave Iran as he has done to the United States and other nations around the world . I would refuse to humble myself or allow my people to be beaten and humiliated as cowering slaves, to the United States and the occupation forces of their expansionistic colony Israel.

I HAVE TO LAUGH NOT TO CRY

I HAVE TO LAUGH NOT TO CRY
8/9/06

The sad truth is no one in the Bush White House knows what they are doing. Except that they know how to lie, cheat and steal . They know how to make the entire world hate the U.S . They know exactly how to run a government into the ground. They also know how to ignore their oaths of office and trample on the Constitution. They know how to spend money they don’t have. They know how to give government contracts to their cronies and companies they formerly ran and still hold stock options. They fully understand that they are the most incompetent bureaucrats ever appointed and elected to public office. They fully understand how to steal billions from the taxpayer. They fully understand how to dismantle and destroy everything that was ever good in the U.S Government including our national security.

The Bush administration will go down in history as the most corrupt and incompetent, collection of men and women to ever hold public office. I must not forget to add the wonderfully incompetent work performed by Wonder Woman Condoleezza Rice. In two short years she has dismantled and destroyed any and all credibility that took 230 years to establish in the U.S State Dept. We must offer her our special thanks for a job so poorly done. Not one individual in the Bush administration over the last six years selected or appointed was qualified for their positions. The most recent set of drones in the Bush Administration are less qualified than those who preceded them.

So let the majority of Americans hail their incompetent and chief and his band of merry thieves and find joy in the knowledge that our country is so poorly served by those we elect. Let the vast majority of the people of the U.S feel happy and self satisfied that they have finally achieved the selection of a leader and government administrators and advisors that mirror their own apathy and ignorance and vision of a failed democracy.

I AM CONVINCED THAT THE LEADERS OF ISRAEL AND THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION ARE ABSOLUTELY SICK .

I AM CONVINCED THAT THE LEADERS OF ISRAEL AND THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION ARE ABSOLUTELY SICK .
7/23/06

After viewing countless pictures of the recent devastation in Lebanon and Palestine and reading of the hundreds of dead and thousands of missing people buried under the rubble of their homes and office buildings, I am convinced that Israel is a godless, miserable excuse for a nation. I defy anyone to legitimize the destruction they have caused in Lebanon and in the Gaza Strip and in Palestine. This is an all out genocide sponsored by the Israeli government and backed by the criminal Bush Administration. As an American who believes in human rights and human dignity and is witnessing the daily destruction of the United States by the Bush Administration, I am disgusted and repulsed by the unelected president and his gang of imbeciles and criminals, who have kidnapped the honor of Americans and encourages rape, murder and torture of other people, and the plundering of their nations in our name and the name of freedom.

Now after they have devastated the entire country of Lebanon completely and needlessly destroying their infrastructure and caused the forced evacuation of 900,000 men , women and children from their homes, the criminal nation of Israel with the support of the Bush Administration calls upon the U.N and NATO to help them. Help them!!! Who the hell is going to help the Lebanese and the Palestinians? Who the hell is going to speak up and demand justice for the thousands of murdered Palestinians and Lebanese?!!! Criminals are criminals regardless what sacred quotes they spew to defend and identify themselves. Judaism or Islam or Christianity. The U.N must condemn Israel and the United States for this genocide of the Palestinians and Lebanese and try their leaders in the world court. If Hezbollah is guilty of war crimes then they too must be condemned.

The Bush Administration sends Bunker Buster Bombs and a reluctant and useless spokeswoman to negotiate a peace. What a complete joke! Condi Rice is the most ineffective Secretary of State the world has ever seen. Totally out classed and out smarted by every diplomat around the world. She is considered an imbecile of foreign policy by every national leader and anyone with any intelligence within her own country. Her soul and prayer mate and beloved imbecile and chief, G.W Bush is considered the most stupid and pathetic, corrupt and criminal leader ever to hold power in history. Millions of brainless Americans as corrupt and criminally insane as he is support him, by praying to their God of War to bless him. Any one who can support G.W Bush must be the spawn of Satan. Any one who can support the genocide by Israel and the U.S ally of the Lebanese and Palestinians must fall on their knees before Satan and kiss his hoofed feet daily.

The most sickening thought in this entire Middle East mess is that the American press and the Congress are saying nothing in defense of Lebanon, or the Palestinians and are nothing more than babbling idiots waving an Israeli flag. No one in the mainstream media or in Congress (except congressman Murtha) has the courage to stand up and shout out at this insanity and try to end it. They know that this is a U.S sponsored genocide by our Wonder Republican Majority and our dazzlingly incompetent leadership in the White House. May God forgive those who see this madness and wickedness of their leaders but have no power to stop them! May God cast into a burning hell for eternity all who have the power to stop the madness but will not! Their cowardice and corruption is so obvious that even Christ must turn his eyes away from them.

WHAT’S WITH HEZBOLLAH?

WHAT’S WITH HEZBOLLAH?
7/21/06

I am not an expert on the Middle East, but as an average American looking at the current situation there I have to ask, what is with Hezbollah? From what we hear and read in the West is that Hezbollah is a terrorist arm of Iran. I sense there is much more to Hezbollah than that. They are a significant part of the democratically elected, Lebanon government and is seemingly supported by a large percentage of Lebanese people. One apparent question that comes to my mind is; why would any country allow a rival militia of highly trained soldiers, greater than their own military be allowed to organize, be funded and militarily supported by a foreign country, unless Lebanon is actually a colony of Iran and serves as a buffer between Israel?

I think something doesn’t smell right with this situation. I can understand G.W Bush and his idiotic and greed driven administration doing something like this. A good example is their use of Bechtel and a dozen other non government, mercenary organizations. Only God and the Pentagon know how many foreign troops and government spies and private contractors there are working in the U.S against the interests of the United States. All of these men and women are working directly for or with the full approval and support of the Bush Administration. Maybe Lebanon is just following the Bush Business Plan for Dummies on how to run a Government?

One more question that needs to be asked is, where is the Lebanese military? I keep hearing from all news accounts that they have one. Maybe I got this confused. It appears from my view point, that Hezbollah is the Lebanese military. If that is the reality, then it would appear that Israel has the right to conquer Lebanon, who’s rogue military has declared outright war on them. If in fact it was proven that by any account more reputable than the Bush Administration, that some country was bombing the U.S; then I would expect the U.S to defend itself and take out the aggressor nation.

Maybe someone who understands the Middle East can answer these questions for me. It totally confuses me why Hezbollah exists in the first place in a democratically elected government, that states it desires peace. It equally confuses me why anyone in Lebanon would support Hezbollah if they didn’t fully agree with its policy against Israel?

As for the poor Palestinians stuck in Gaza and elsewhere that the Israelis are destroying and murdering daily, I understand full well their anger and frustration. I understand full well their reason for fighting and I understand why Hamas is their chosen government. I understand and I fully support their valiant efforts to fight the Israeli aggression and occupation of their country. If Hezbollah is fighting Israel for solidarity and aid to Palestine then I am in support of Hezbollah’s fight. However, I sense that Palestine is more of a convenient reason for Iran and Hezbollah to war with Israel, to rid the Muslim world of all Israeli and American influence. If I were a member of the Hamas government or a Palestinian I would be grateful though cautious toward any country; that would help me in a desperate battle for the protection of my people and for the right of my nation to exist.

WHAT ARE THE ARAB STATES WAITING FOR?

SO WHAT ARE THE ARAB STATES WAITING FOR?
7/15/06

Far be it for me to give advice or encouragement to a warring party in any war, but just as an observer I have to wonder why the Arab League of Nations isn’t taking advantage of the latest conflicts in Lebanon. Isn’t Lebanon one of the Arab states, even though it is a new democracy?

You would think that instead of just talking about it (like the talker and chief G.W Bush) the Arab nations would really take action and kick Israeli butt. Let me state that I am no military or diplomatic expert , but I have been an observer of Middle East politics for the last 3 or more decades and it seems that right now would be the perfect time for the Arab States to attack Israel in full force. The U.S is completely distracted by North Korea , Iraq and Afghanistan, while the British have over half of their special forces in Afghanistan and most of their army in Iraq. Few are aware that current reports state that the British are holding over 10,000 Iraqis prisoners. The Russians and Chinese could care less about the Israelis and are more likely encouraging the Arab states to move in to fight. “Here is another 10 billion in arms and money my Arab friends.” Can’t you hear” Pooti Poot” telling Iran’s president to go for it, then hangs up the phone and goes out to meet G.W in a hand holding photo shoot.

As long as G.W Bush “The Idiot and Chief ” is still the President of the U.S the entire Arab and Muslim world can take advantage of soaring oil prices, friendly relations with Russia and China and of course great fun holding the proverbial testicles of all European and American diplomats and heads of state over the proverbial fire. Think of it as a part of their revenge for Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo, 60 years of occupation of Palestine and the countless deaths and the billions of dollars of destruction done to Arab states by the western allies and Israel.

Who is dumb enough to believe that the Arab countries provoked this war with Israel? Israel has been destroying Palestinian homes and lives in total reckless abandon for the last two years. Finally they stole all Palestinian monies and taxes and refused to pay Palestinian government payrolls and pensions. They built a forty foot high separation wall between Israel and Palestine and fired missiles and tank shells on innocent and helpless Palestinian families and targeted children playing on beaches and in playgrounds. Israel is the thief, the provocateur and murderer, and Israel is holding 8000 Palestinian political prisoners. Israel and the U.S refuse to recognize a legitimately elected government of Palestine, and the Palestinian Government has agreed to acknowledge the right of Israel’s existence; even though Israel has not the legitimate right to occupy all previously owned lands belonging to the Palestinians, and will not allow over three million Palestinian refugees to return to their homeland. Hamas and Hezbollah are the logical outgrowths of the wrongful occupation and brutal treatment of the Palestinian people. The outrage of all Arab and Muslim nations can only be expected. If the Western countries were as exploited and insulted as the Palestinian people are, and it’s people were subjected to bombings and flyover spy planes and economic sanctions and military occupations, we would certainly be a unified force fighting against the aggressors. So why can’t the western countries see these warring actions by the Arab States as their rightful act of defending themselves and standing up for their dignity and self respect, as a people and a nation, who are demanding the basic human rights that belong to all people.

The Middle East has always been in crisis, but now more than any time in history the weapons available to all warring factions are the most deadly ever known in human history. Who can tell if all this is leading to end times prophecies or not? As a simple observer I see this new conflict as the direct outcome of the idiotic foreign policy of G.W Bush, the wrongful alliance and tolerance of Israel by the U.S and western nations and the acts of desperate and angry people; who will go to war against the world before they would deny their existence or relinquish their rights and dignity as human beings.

WHY ISN’T AL-QAIDA IN PALESTINE?

WHY ISN’T AL-QAIDA IN PALESTINE? 6/30/06

It has always been a question I have had ever since the Osama thing surfaced on 9/11/01. Why did Osama attack the U.S instead of Israel? (Of course there is no evidence that he did attack the U.S) Why hasn’t Osama sided with the Palestinians? Why have Osama and his boys been so focused on the U.S, when a war against Israel would have been far more conveniant and winnable? Were they afraid to risk appearing anti semetic? Did they fear Israel more than the U.S? Did they see the U.S as a greater threat to their Saudi backers than Israel?

As an American observer it just seems odd to me that Al-Qaida fears Israel more than it fears the U.S. Could it be that the wiley ol’ Osama isn’t what he appears to be? It would appear that he’s more concerned in fighting with a few Iraqis than helping out his Muslim brothers in Palestine. Al-Qaida likes killing Iraqis and other Muslims. Doesn’t it seem odd that Al-Qaida’s focus is strictly on the undermining of Muslim countries. If I were an Israeli military official in charge of Homeland Security I would be trying to find anyway possible to keep my Arab neighbors preoccupied by fighting amongst themselves. I would try to install a look-like leader to sway the Arabs to fight against each other, instead of fighting against Israel. I would get the U.S and their idiot leaders to spend all their wealth and weapons to war against the Arab world so as to distract and weaken my surrounding sworn enemies. By doing this I could continue to oppress and occupy the Palestinians and steal their lands without any opposition. Why not? It’s the Zionist way.

It always confuses me why Osama never talks about Israel when he makes his famous video appearances. I have often wondered if Osama was Jewish. His mother might of been Jewish. Does anyone know or has anyone even researched the Bin Ladin family to find out who Osama’s mama was? He has fifty brothers and sisters. His father had numerous wives,could he have snuck into the bed of a pretty Jewish women on one of his travels? I wouldn’t put it past him. Maybe Osama is really Morey Bin Ladin. If he is Morey and not Osama then it’s easy to understand why he hasn’t helped out the Palestinians and why he doesn’t mention Israel in his video performances.

It seems odd to me that a guy who is said to be held up in a cave somewhere in Pakistan could be so accessible to the media via the internet and Aljazerra. Who the hell is kidding who? Osama is an Israeli – American PSYOPS program no different that Al-Zarqawi was. Al-Qaida could have done more damage in one week to Israel to help free the Palestinians than he has done in 5 years fighting against the U.S. He could have concentrated his attention on the Palestinian occupation and raised more Jihadist warriors against Israel than he could ever do against the U.S and Iraq. It is too obvious that Osama is helping Israel; that is why few if any see him for what he is. But I could be wrong and misjudged Osama for an Israeli mole. Maybe he and his big bad Al-Qaida warriors really are afraid of Israel and they don’t want the world to think of them as politically incorrect. In today’s world the suspicion of someone being anti semetic is far worse than being a serial killer, G.W Bush and Neocon loving, preemptive war mongering, rightwing ,bible thumping , shit shoveling, bribe taking, presidentially pardoned, criminal politician, television evangelist hired as a Washington lobbyist.

So it is quite obvious to me that Osama is an Israeli mole. Any Al-Qaida boys who think Morey Bin Ladin is a trustworthy leader better think again. Until Al-CIA Duh and( O’ So Your Mother is Jewish) Bin Ladin start acting like a defender of the Muslim world, instead of murderers of Muslims and destroyers of Muslim countries I can not believe in their sincerity; nor do I believe in their existence as anything but an Israeli-American PSYOPS program, designed to scare the world into conforming to the Zionist vision of a one world government ruled by an Israeli Messiah named Rothchilde.

IF I WERE A PALESTINIAN

palestine-2

I wrote and published this article in 2006 after the invasions of Lebanon and the genocidal attacks by Israel against the Palestinians. In the last 12 years since this essay was written, the Palestinians have been subjected to far greater hostilities by the Israelis, more murders of Palestinians and evictions and theft  of their lands and  homes in Jerusalem and the West Bank. The Israeli establishment of the Palestinian imprisoned community of Gaza is now holding millions of Palestinians, who are continually murdered by Israeli settlers and the Israeli Military. They must be defended by the rest of the Humane world, and protected and given back their human rights. How can the Israelis, after what they supposedly endured in the Jewish Holocaust, create a Palestinian Holocaust , and the most racist, war mongering country on earth.

Dumb Ass Donald Trump has completely insulted the Palestinians by moving the U.S embassy to Jerusalem ,  insuring there will never be a peace with Israel and Palestine, leaving the Palestinian people desperate and completely betrayed by the world.  When I wrote this article I questioned what I would do if I were a Palestinian living in West Bank or Gaza and  realize today that If I were a Palestinian, I would be fighting and protesting with them, and as an American I have said all I can to condemned Israel and the U.S for their government sponsored genocide of the Palestinian people.

May the real God , not the false one of the Israelis , save the Palestinians from genocide and restore their country and pride fulfilling the biblical prophesy of the final destruction of Israel.

 

IF I WERE A PALESTINIAN

6/19/06

 

If I were a Palestinian I would be mad as hell. If I was a Palestinian I would be in full support of Hamas. If I were a Palestinian I would want the destruction of Israel. If I were a Palestinian I would want the destruction of all who ignore my people. If I were a Palestinian I would be arming myself and wanting to kill any Israeli who tried to harm me or my family. If I were a Palestinian I would be an armed freedom fighter. If I were a Palestinian I would be one of the angriest people in the world.

 

It is probably better for the Palestinians, that I am not a Palestinian. I might put them in more trouble than they are in now. As an American who has spoken to Palestinians of their occupation, I understand their plight, to the extent that I can without living under Israeli occupation. As an American I am ashamed by my government’s actions against the Palestinians. As an American I am disgusted by the malelected officials who authorized sanctions and ignore Israeli violence against Palestine. I am ashamed and disgusted by the apathy of the American people over the plight of the Palestinian people. Americans went to war with Iraq supposedly to free it from a genocidal dictator, but we support a genocidal Israeli government. Why would anyone or any government support the murderous actions of the Israeli government against the Palestinians? Who are these people in charge of American foreign policy? Who are these wicked international terrorists and mass murderers, who have stolen Palestine from the Palestinians and now are conducting a genocide of the Palestinian people? Who are these murderous Zionists? Who are these murderous Americans in our White House and Congress? Who are the Jewish lobbyists, that bribe and blackmail the U.S Congress, to support the Israeli genocide against the Palestinians?

 

If I were a Palestinian I would be praying to whatever God I knew. If I were an Israeli I would be fearing the God of the Palestinians, for even the most apathetic God, goaded and offended enough, will rise and place courage and commitment and faith in his people to conquer their oppressors. If I were an Israeli I would fear the vengeance of the praying Palestinian’s God. If I were a Palestinian I would be listening for my God’s voice. If I were a Palestinian I would be spreading my God’s voice to my people. If I were a Palestinian I would organize all righteous Palestinians to march against Israel in full force of their remaining millions, at first in a peaceful march into Israel to demand our rights and end the occupation. If that did not work and many of my people were killed by the Israelis; then I would organize all with rifles and guns and hand grenades and attack Israel with all my forces of remaining millions until either they or we were the victors. This would be a just fight. This would be a worthy battle. This would be a Godly, faith driven, furious battle for the sanctity of the Palestinian right to life and liberty. If all Palestinians were willing to be martyred for their right to exist then the world would be in awe of the magnificence of these people. Israel would then become the scourge of the earth, hated and despised by all people for their extermination of the Palestinians. If I were a Palestinian would I be willing to sacrifice my life for the freedom and dignity of my people and myself? If I were a Palestinian would I be willing to die by an Israeli bullet or bomb. If I saw my family or neighbors slaughtered before my eyes, would I be willing to fight for their dignity and right to life and vow vengeance to their murderers? As an American would I be willing to do the same for another American? Would I do so for a Palestinian? If I were pushed to that limit, Yes, I am sure that I would.

 

Everyone must come to this reality in their life. We must all justify our convictions and face ourselves at some time in our lives. We must face up to the awful truth of someone’s hatred against us , either because of our race, our religion, our nationality. The hatred is there, it exits. Will that hatred against us, consume us with fear or give us the strength and courage to defend ourselves, against those who willfully seek our destruction? This is why countries have armies, because they understand the possible threat to their nation and society. But the Palestinians have no military and are an occupied nation. Occupied and enslaved by the Israeli government and their closest ally the United States. Forgiveness of a wicked enemy is total folly, as you kneel and pray for their forgiveness, while they kill your family and friends and then kill you. It is better to stand before your murderers and fight to the death. I would rather die knowing that my murderer was also dead or will be disabled throughout life from my gun or knife or grenade, and that my enemy is haunted by his limbless horror throughout the remainder of his life. Thou Shalt Not Kill is a forgotten commandment by the Israelis and by their Christian allies in the United States. Do Unto Others before They Do unto you, is the George W. Bush Doctrine of Pre-emptive Strike. ” Do Unto Others As Others Have Done Unto You ” is the Israelis golden rule. “Do Unto Others To Defend Yourself” is the Palestinian golden rule.

 

This is madness or insanity, you might be thinking? It is not, it is simple reality. If faced with one’s own annihilation would we accept it willingly and welcome it, or would we fight until we had no life left in us and make our memory last in legends. If we martyred ourselves wouldn’t we want to do it destroying our enemy and eliminating the evil forever? This is the ultimate human question. Should we live and die without the right to exist freely as human beings, or should we fight to the death, all who would deny us our basic human rights? A great American statesman said, “Give me liberty or give me death!” I always admired that statement. Many great Americans put their lives at risk and died for freedom against occupation. If you were a Palestinian what would you do?

A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE SALISBURY FORUM

A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE SALISBURY FORUM

6/11/06

 

Most of my readers probably haven’t any idea where Salisbury,Ct. is and there really isn’t any reason to know. But a few people around the country are aware of it and they are also aware of an organization called the Salisbury Forum. The forum arranges for selected national speakers to give talks in the Salisbury area. The most recent talk was by former CBS news anchor Dan Rather.

 

This talk by Dan Rather was well publicized and I had even promoted it on my radio show several weeks ago, but I was duped. The originally publicized title of Dan Rather’s talk was “The Media and the Message: Who’s in Control?” I thought that it would be worth my listener’s attention and they might like to attend. I spoke to the president of the Forum about the possibility of interviewing Dan Rather on the show and he said that he was sincerely sorry but Dan Rather couldn’t do interviews because of his contract with CBS. He stated, which I announced on the radio show that; Dan Rather couldn’t even sign his own books or give newspaper interviews because his contract with CBS. 

 

I stated to him that I found that very odd, and remarked that CBS must own his soul. The president of the forum however, did not mention that the topic of Dan Rather’s speech had changed from “The Media and The Message: Who’s in Control” to a very different topic of “The News- What Shouldn’t Change”. It’s obvious that someone told Dan Rather to censor his talk to the Forum or that he censored himself.
I wasn’t aware of the topic change until I arrived at the forum and received a revised program guide to the forum event. Most of the several hundred guests came because of the advanced advertizing and publications, some from my announcement on the radio show and my invitation to several friends. Prior to the program , based on the original topic we expected, we anticipated that we might hear truth from Dan Rather, instead of the watered down , steaming, mainstream, gobble rot he was noted for in his 24 year career as CBS News Anchor and managing editor. Under his stewardship the CBS Evening News plummeted to last place in the national television ratings, behind Fox news, Geraldo Rivera and Seinfeld reruns.

 

To several of my friends, Rather’s blithering comments were “rather” expected, since they had no great expectations from him. But I personally was insulted, not only by the sudden change in topic, but the glassing over of it by the Forum, and my realization that; even a one hour talk by Dan Rather, to a small, insignificant gathering of a few hundred people, was censored, regardless of who censored it and why. What he might have said was deemed too dangerous for certain government agencies, CBS, their corporate sponsors , his own career and reputation or fear by the Forum directors that; his comments might shock or disturb some of the extremely elderly or influential guest in attendance.

 

This reminded me of all the history that has been edited out and revised for public forums and history books and kept secret by a few historians, military and government officials and sinister corporations and journalists. As the managing editor of CBS news and its anchorman of 24 years, I gasp at the thought, of how much truth and critical information has been omitted or trivialized by Dan Rather. After hearing him talk about total nonsense and his personal life’s history for 50 minutes I was certain that; practically everything he’s ever said or done in his capacity as the CBS news anchor and managing editor, was a lie, an omission or a cover up. I can understand full well why he was fired from CBS. It may have been for his stance  on the Bush National Guard Story, but I believe it was because of his total lack of credibility. If he can be swayed to censor his own talk about who controls the media, given to a small audience at a prep school auditorium; then it is easy to imagine how easily he would buckle under, to the director of CBS News, a sponsor, the CIA, FBI or to anyone else who asked him to. He is simply a spokesman for hire, an empty suit, a high powered lobbyist ready to sell himself or his country to the highest bidder. Sadly Dan Rather is typical of all the pretenders from generations old and new; who have been celebritized by new communication mediums and continue to be knowingly emulated and praised by the American public, as an artificial icon of American journalism.

 

As for the Salisbury Forum If I were a member or director I would be ashamed that the organization would stoop to the level it did in its presentation and promotion of Dan Rather. That the Forum would either suggest the topic change or accept the pre advertized topic to be suddenly changed by a noted guest speaker, suggests that; even the smallest and insignificant public forums in America can and do exercise strict censorship over its speakers. This is a crime, a bad joke and a very sad commentary on who really controls the media in America. Those who control the flow of information, to tell the truth or to lie to America, are any group or individual, who controls access to a public forum. In all sincerity I was sickened, to see a 20th century news media icon, afraid to speak the truth about his own profession. I witnessed an arrogant little man, standing before a small audience, who saw him as a talking head in an empty suit. This wasn’t my opinion only. I spoke with many people after the forum, some who spoke to Dan Rather personally, who expressed similar and even less flattering comments than I have written here.

THE MANY LIVES AND DEATHS OF ABU MASAB al-ZARQAWI

THE MANY LIVES AND DEATHS OF ABU MASAB al-ZARQAWI

6/11/06

Wowee! Kapowee! Al-Zarqawi is dead! Yeah, right. On my April 11th, 2006 radio show I read an article by the Washington Post dated 4/10/06 entitled “Military Plays Up Role of Zarqawi”. The article stated that “the U.S military is conducting a propaganda campaign to magnify the role of the leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq, according to internal military documents and officers familiar with the program.”…. “For the past two years, U.S military leaders have been using Iraqi media and other outlets in Baghdad to publicize Zarqawi’s role in the insurgency. The documents explicitly list the “U.S Home Audience” as one of the targets of a broader propaganda campaign.”…..

The article also states that,” Recently there have been unconfirmed reports of a possible rift between Zarqawi and the parent al-Qaeda organization that may have resulted in his being demoted or cut loose…” “It is difficult to determine how much has been spent on the Zarqawi campaign, which began two years ago and is believed to be ongoing. U.S. propaganda efforts in I raq in 2004 cost $24 million, but that included extensive building of offices and residences for troops involved, as well as radio broadcasts and distribution of thousands of leaflets with Zarqawi”s face on them, said the officer speaking on background.”

“The Zarqawi campaign is discussed in several of the internal military documents.” “VILLAINIZE ZARQAWI/ LEVERAGE XENOPHONIA RESPONSE,” one of U.S military briefing from 2004 stated. It related to three methods: Media Operations, Special Ops and PSYOP, the U.S military term for propaganda work.”….. “One internal briefing , produced by the U.S military headquarters in Iraq, said that Kimmitt had concluded that, “The Zarqawi PSYOP program is the most successful information campaign to date.” “Kimmitt is now the senior planner on the staff of the Central Command that directs operations in Iraq and the rest of the Middle East.”…. Kimmit said, there was clearly an information campaign to raise the public awareness of who Zarqawi was, primarily the Iraq audience but also with the international audience.” This article can be read in its entirety at Washington post.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/04/09/AR2006040900890_p… 4/11/06 

After reading this it isn’t such a far stretch of the facts to consider that Zarqawi might have been dead all along. That reports of Zarqawi’s death two years ago might be correct; that the U.S PSYOP group might have resurrected this virtually unknown member of al-Qaeda, in order to create a Godzilla – like terrorist to scare the Iraqis and Americans. HMMMM. Zarqawi was a set up, he’d been dead for years. Why is the U.S Army doing an autopsy on him? Why? They announced it yesterday on 6/10/06. How did Zarqawi or anyone for that matter survive two 500 pound bombs that totally wiped out the buildings they were supposedly in? If anyone has seen the pictures of the demolished buildings totally leveled,(I have) absolutely no one could have survived that blast. According to recent radio and television reports, Zarqawi gained consciousness for several minutes when Delta Force soldiers found his body and put him on a stretcher. He supposedly, according to Rush Limbaugh and others,” gained consciousness, saw the hardened faces of DELTA FORCE soldiers staring down at him and rolled off the stretcher and then died.” Who the hell is kidding who? If you believe this story then you probably think Saddam Hussein ordered the attack of 911. You also must believe that Jessica Lynch was truly saved by the wonderful, brave and congressional medal deserving, angelic, DELTA FORCE. We all know from numerous valid reports that Jessica Lynch was one of the first failed PSYOP programs of the Iraqis War. I’m sorry they had to use her in that way. She seemed like a very brave girl, innocently caught up in one of the first, blunder headed, botched up Rumsfeldian victory plans.

So if you still believe that Zarqawi is dead or alive or ever existed at all , the Zarqawi program has succeeded and is officially over except for the autopsy. This is to discover what he died of . Gee do you think it was poison or two 500 pound super bombs that crashed on his head? Zarqawi was so DANGEROUS the U.S Government must do an autopsy on him to make sure he’s dead and to insure to the world that he wasn’t an alien spawn from Planet Mega Terror. He must of been poisoned if he was able to roll off the stretcher. The story says that he died after he looked into the eyes of the stern and hardened DELTA FORCE soldiers. I would sooner believe he might have looked down the barrel of a DELTA FORCE RIFLE; that just happened to have accidentally gone off. Oh but we saw pictures of his face on television and he was dead? But they didn’t show the rest of his body, if there was a body. How old were those pictures? It didn’t look like Zarqawi to me. It looked like the poor soul of a dead bearded Iraqis, Jordanian, or who ever. How can anyone believe the words of the same people who admitted that Zarqawi was a PSYOP plan to begin with? He was just a ploy to scare the Iraqis and Americans into believing he was the real boogey man; when all along the Boogey men were every member of the Bush and Blair government and anyone else who profits from the Iraq war.

BRIGHT YELLOW TULIPS BENEATH A DEEP PINK CRAB APPLE TREE

BRIGHT YELLOW TULIPS BENEATH A DEEP PINK CRAB APPLE TREE

 5/7/06

I’ve become very world weary lately. All news seems to be bad news, from every corner of the world. I have been looking forward to Spring this year, as I do every year. I like the weather change from cold to warm as old gray trees and once frozen, brown ground turn green.

This year is a little different since I have 16 new friends. Sixteen big, tall, bright yellow tulips have joined me daily, as I sit in the shade of an older friendship, a deep pink blossomed crab apple tree. My crab apple friend insists on blossoming annually, exactly on my birthday. This year all but two of the 16 newly planted tulips first opened on my birthday. The two other tulips, a little shorter and shy, fully opened up two days later. Today I sat with all sixteen, beneath the deep pink crab apple tree. I felt very happy to be with them as they seem pleased to be with me. The sky was blue with chemtrail swirls, creating a false shade of reality. But my friends seemed unaffected by the artificial clouds and opened their broad petals defiantly, their full beauty offered in reverence to the sun.

I cursed the skies and clenched my fist, angered at the military menace, dimming the sunlight and hope from the sky. Then I saw the pink crab apple blossoms, contrasting against the swirling chemtrails, in the blue. It all blended mellowingly as I glanced at the bright yellow tulips swaying in the breeze.

The American Priviledge

THE AMERICAN PRIVILEDGE

4/30/06

 

It is a rare and genuine privilege to be an American citizen. I am fortunate to have been born in this country and received all the benefits of living in this free society. Perhaps the greatest benefit has been the ability to dream of a better future of endless possibilities. Raised in a middleclass home in small town U.S.A, I was granted a free public education through to the twelfth grade. I was granted the chance to go to college. I was granted the privilege of choosing my career from a multitude of options. I was granted the relative safety of a tranquil community and appreciate a democratic local, state and national government. By chance and providence I was granted, as were millions of people that my birthplace was in the United States. For that gift and so many others beyond my control or early consideration, I am eternally grateful to God and my parents and will never feel shamed or guilty because of it.

I as well as many other aware Americans have been forced to look at our lives and lifestyles from a different perspective lately. Since the sudden emergence of 11 million illegal aliens, out from the shadows of our under nation, all who are demanding legal status and amnesty must make Americans pause, to deliberate our personal positions on the issue, rather it is indifference, or discomfort we realize that; we should no longer tolerate illegal immigration into our society, if we wish to preserve and protect our own earned rights as U.S citizens. Americans are being forced, by the bold immergence of the overwhelming multitude of illegal aliens into the light of scrutiny, to wonder if the person next to us on the street or living next door, is actually in our country legally and if he or she poses a health, security or economic risk to us , our families, our neighbors or to our country. We can no longer avoid these questions individually or collectively. These questions are paramount when we consider any ethnic or national group or individual who we suspect may be in the United States illegally.

When I see hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants demanding rights as citizens I feel affronted. As a citizen of the United States I and other citizens of this country retain the right to demonstrate, vote, run for public office, demand our constitutional rights, and hold sacred the vision of our constitutional government. These illegal immigrants have no such rights. They have illegally entered or stayed in this country simply because the present immigration laws and the ability to enforce these laws are inadequate.

 

I have nothing against any race, color or creed of anyone who comes into the United States legally, but as a citizen of the United States I am alarmed by the sudden demands of those who are in the United States illegally, to suddenly think they deserve to be considered legal and given complete amnesty. It is wrong. No other country in the world would tolerate it or does tolerate free and unchecked immigration into their countries with full amnesty. They understand the tremendous problems that have arisen from a growing minority of undocumented immigrants. Not only would it be catastrophic for the safety of its citizens but also for their economic well being. Why then should the United States be any different? Why should the United States have to suffer the harm and calamity caused by a free immigration policy? Why are Americans supposed to be the keepers of the world? Why should legal United States citizens be forced to contend with illiterate, diseased and poverty ridden peoples from other countries crossing our borders illegally? Illegal immigrants drastically burden our medical and emergency facilities, spread foreign diseases on our unsuspecting population and practice criminal or primitive customs and cultures that overwhelm our law enforcement, education and welfare systems and all levels of local , state and federal government. Massive illegal immigration destroys cities, towns and neighborhoods. It creates housing shortages for an already growing homeless population of legal Americans. Most egregious and dangerous are the greed rabid U.S employers; who exploit this illegal cheap labor market and ignore all wage and safety standards, achieved by historical arbitration and herculean struggles by workers, unions and government; that established current worker safety and fair employment laws.

Illegal immigration is a curse on any country. I am sorry that so many people around the world are unable to enjoy the freedoms and opportunities that Americans have enjoyed for the last few hundred years. But our fore fathers fought a revolution, a civil war and two world wars for those freedoms we now take for granted. They fought and shed their blood so their children and grandchildren and generations to come would enjoy the cherished rights of citizenship; that so many wrong minded and unpatriotic Americans are so eager to give away, by allowing the amnesty of 11 million illegal immigrants in this country. Any public or political figure who is advocating amnesty or the assimilation of all illegal immigrants is either a complete idiot, ignorant of or indifferent to this country’s history and sacrifices, or they are traitors who are actively working for the destruction of the United States.

Forty seven million legal American citizens do not have healthcare coverage. Over one third of all naturalized American children live below the poverty line . Over one third of all American children live without adequate food, clothing and shelter. Every school in the country is now required to teach Spanish as early as the first grade. This is an abomination! This is an enormous undue burden placed upon naturalized American children and their parents, to accommodate the rapidly growing influx of illegal immigrants in their communities. This erodes American English and other legally assimilated cultures and values taught to our children. This creates a dualism of primary cultures and languages which only dilutes the effectiveness of early child hood training in the fundamental areas of public education. Accepting illegal immigrants into any society poses great national threats. The vast majority of illegal immigrants are poverty stricken, totally uneducated and many are desperately unhealthy. They place an enormous burden on health facilities already overburdened by uninsured legal Americans. Illegal immigrants jeopardize our schools, our homes and work places with foreign diseases and invade our cities and towns as criminals and outlaws desperate for mere survival, without any respect for the law. Illegal immigration plagues communities throughout the United States with millions of unwanted, undocumented people. These people, without even the most basic of living or language skills, expect to find immediate employment and the fulfillment of the American Dream. There are no jobs that legal American citizens won’t do. What possible job could an illegal immigrant do that an unemployed American citizen won’t do? I know of legal Americans in all unskilled jobs and skilled trades in all industries. Americans perform all types of unpleasant work. The only difference between an American worker and an illegal immigrant is that the American worker expects to get paid for his work and is protected by the laws of this country. The illegal will work for anybody whether he or she is paid or not, anybody who pays little or nothing but might provide a cot for them in a shared room with 20 other illegals immigrants. Americans shouldn’t have to put up with this treatment and most will not. All the blame goes back to the employer who is knowingly violating U.S law and knowingly exploiting an illegal immigrant. The exploitive employer is depriving a legal American worker a job and a day’s fair pay in a safe working environment. The kind of job no American will do is the kind of job no human being should have to do. Is this the kind of work illegal aliens are proud to say they are doing? Is this the kind of work American employers are offering? If it is then these jobs should exist for no one and the employers should be arrested, tried, convicted and severely sentenced for human trafficking and exploitation. 

Wake up America. If we actively continue to assist in the destruction of our own institutions, our own economic demise and the rapid deterioration of our own health and the health of our children then, we are beyond self saving. We are beyond all rational hope as a nation and a people. Christian charity and compassion should begin in our own homes amongst our own citizens. It is not up to the United States to take in every poor and destitute person in the world. It is impossible. It is up to all countries to better their own governments, and provide for their own people instead of encouraging them to risk their lives and the lives of their families, to come to the United States as illegal immigrants.

In the scheme of global population control and the separation of wealth amongst the nations, it is obvious that the plan is and has been to dump the burden of the costs and calamity upon the United States. This will lead to the destruction of the U.S economy at the gain of the rest of the nations of the world. No, this must no longer be allowed. This can no longer be tolerated. The United States citizens must demand and execute stiff immigration policies. They must look upon illegal aliens as all other countries do. The U.S can no longer afford or tolerate the apathy and misplaced sympathies of its legal citizens. It can no longer allow corporations and individual employers to import and exploit illegal aliens; who willfully break the laws of our country and place the physical and economic security of the United States at severe risk.

Turn away America, from the faces of our demise. Turn away America from the cries and voices of illegal immigrants who threaten to boycott our businesses and parade on our streets and live and eat from our taxes and contribute little and burden greatly. America has the hatred and jealously of the world’s nations amassed upon us already. We are considered the nation of gullible idiots who work longer and harder, have more and are willing to pay the bill for the rest of humanity, at the risk of our own health, wealth and national security. Turn away America. We are not the world’s idiots anymore. We must see the fate of the world’s population for what it is and make the cruel and uncomfortable decision to turn away from them for our own survival. Turn away America, for the rest of the world must endure its own survival. Those who have a good life and happiness must thank God daily for their blessings. Americans must help Americans. Once we do this then we can help the rest of the world, as we can afford to. 

 Americans can no longer police the world, nor can we be allowed to exploit it. We cannot feed the world either when one third of our own citizens are going hungry and so many are facing homelessness because of our failing economy and the outsourcing overseas of American jobs and wealth. Illegal immigration is labeled illegal for a reason and it is identified and understood by all nations and people in the same terms. Why then should the United States citizens be forced by the world’s unfortunate masses to accept a different definition of the word illegal? Why must the United States suffer all the ills of other countries and people by taking everyone in? Cleanse thyself. Someone very wise once said. Take care of yourself and your own family, neighbor and countrymen. Turn away and pray America. Turn away and say “But for the sake of God go I.” Help those whom now stand before you with opened palms and great need who are your fellow American citizens, how can we love them less, or concern ourselves less for them? Turn away America from the rest of the world’s suffering and see those near you who need your love and compassion and charity, your own children and those of your friends and relatives; those who are suffering and starving now in this country with a legal right to be here. Turn away America to repair yourself, and then you will heal and find the strength and courage needed to defend your personal survival and the survival of your country.

THE INORDINANCE OF TIME

THE INORDINANCE OF TIME

4/6/06

 

Maybe I’m in the first stages of Alzheimer’s or I’ve simply lost too many brain cells from living an excessive life style; but lately I seem to be losing my sense of time. I just realized that it has been over a week since I posted a new article. I’ve been thinking of several topics and researching a few; but I came to the conclusion that, I can research something to death and get nothing accomplished, except become more confused about a topic than I was when I began my research.

What sparked this essay was when I got out of my car the other day and had a remarkable flashback to a time long ago when I was much younger. Maybe it was the sun or the Spring air and blue sky that day; but for some reason I felt I had been transported back to a time and place when I was lighter on my feet, carefree, and jubilant. It was as though I was that age again, a young man with a long future ahead of me. I have been trying to discover what jolted that feeling in me , it was as though I had entered a time warp and was living that moment new. I had my mature mind but I was in my young body and felt remarkably agile and young again. I know I’ve had other moments in the past that have made me feel younger and have great energy and enthusiasm, but this one was different in that I felt that I had actually physically jumped back in time or that the past had jumped forward. My mind was the same but my body felt different. The time change lasted only a few minutes, but for those few moments I felt as though I had been transported back to another, much younger reality.

Which brings me to another related topic, that of reality. I once wrote a long essay entitled Random Reality which attempted to explain the phenomenon of entering other peoples’ realities. For example: I bump into a stranger on the street and we start up a conversation of great interest to both of us. We exchange phone numbers and urge each other to call. Both of us were pleased by the coincidence and possibly developed a friendship that could change the course of our lives altering our personal realities. This could also happen in the negative way where I meet someone and they totally insult me or turn me off and negatively affect the rest of my day. I may harbor a bad memory for many years due to one unpleasant meeting with a total stranger. Either way it supports my theory of Random Reality. Each of us lives in his own reality, as though we all exist inside of our own bubbles or wombs. We all have private thoughts, private habits, private interests that few if anyone else knows about. These private interests make up our unique character and ambition or lack of character and ambition, until one individual randomly interrupts another and alters each other’s personal reality forever.

If we included all aspects of time with relation to what we like to do and like to spend our time doing , we immediately find that the same amount of measured time seems to become elongated or shortened by extreme rates, depending upon how that time is being spent. Five minutes of root canal work seems far, far longer than five minutes speaking to a friend or watching a great movie.

Could the last person I speak to before I die possibly change my eternal outlook? Could someone change my reality of death by simply interrupting my reality with theirs? There are many stories and legends of miraculous unexplained healings, raising Lazarus from the dead, people in long comas coming out of them and living a normal life. I once met an elderly man who told me he was given 3 days to live. His body was ravaged by cancer. He went to a spiritual healer who touched his forehead and he suddenly passed out for several minutes. He was hunched over, unconscious in his wheel chair then woke up. He said he suddenly felt much better, the ravaging pain was gone. He felt strong enough to stand up and for the first time in months he could walk and talk without pain. He told me that he felt so good that he couldn’t understand what happened to him, but he was certain he had been healed. He said he went to his doctor the next day and walked into the office, no one could believe it was him; everyone thought it was his twin brother until he proved his identity by calling his brother on the doctor’s phone. He asked that he be given x rays to see if he was healed and the doctor agreed to do them. To everyone’s amazement all traces of the cancer, which was throughout his body, had vanished. He was cured. His twin brother was standing next to him when he told me this story and verified every word. Both were in there late seventies and firm believers in miracles. My meeting them that day and hearing their story changed my life in several ways. It made me appreciate the powers of the mind to heal the body and it convinced me that there is a greater power over my destiny than myself.

That power can allow everyone to be healed from physical and spiritual wounds. That power has the power to influence all time and space. That power is available to everyone upon the asking. That power is Faith. Faith in one’s own self and faith in knowing there is a higher power that can heal all wounds, interrupt death and reality and suspend time eternally.

V for Vendetta A Great Movie

V FOR VENDETTA  A GREAT MOVIE

3/27/06

 

I liked” V for Vendetta.” It worked for me. As well as three friends who saw it with me. It owes a lot to Orwell’s 1984; this setting was in the not so distant future. V the masked avenger is a classic romantic character, Cerano, Zorro, Robin Hood, with a scripted reference to one of my favorite characters, the Count of Monte Cristo. It all worked for me. The violence was gruesome but somehow perfectly deserving. The damsel in distress was well casted and acted the part perfectly. “Once you have lost all fear you are ready” or something like that. I can’t recall all the dialogue but I remember that line.

The special effects were great, explosions and fireworks, exotic roses and a blend of Phantom of the Opera and the Lone Ranger. There was a perfect combination of ideas running throughout the movie. Nothing got lost in the translation or editing. I won’t reveal the best scenes so you can judge them for yourselves but I really loved the ending. You can just picture G.W Bush and Dick Cheney in the near final scenes. The work is strangely realistic, knowing what we know today. Oddly the creators of V chose England for the setting. It would have caused a riot here in the U.S if they chose the U.S for the setting, especially with some of the U.S.A hate speak spouted by the English dictator. In the future the U.S will be in a major civil war again according to the movie.

As for England they already went through mass genocide and a complete takeover. For all practical purposes the English are much closer now to the vision of V than the U.S is; but anything is possible with the current congress and G.W as Prez and Potentate.

I highly recommend the movie for all present and future resistance fighters. See it and become inspired. See it and enjoy the action for a few hours. I promise it is nonstop action. The plot is weaved well and the language is well delivered, the characters are well developed and well acted. My only criticism is that V’s character could have been developed more with more history, but his character was more of a spiritual metaphor, a messiah, a figure both human and heroic, an angel of destruction and a messenger of hope. The movie was riddled with symbolism both subtle and obvious. I left the theater feeling vindicated with a sense of justice and hope for humanity. Evil will not reign. Justice will prevail. V is me and you and everyone who desires freedom and justice. That the wicked die and the blessed live. Humanity can become free of fear, but only after it has faced all fear and found it to be an illusion. The greatest fear we face is in ourselves. Once we face ourselves and defeat our own demons we become invincible. The methods of revolutionary violence or non violence is one’s own choice. Non violence is far less messy, but in the movies (where no one really dies) nothing satisfies our ancient blood lust better than a few bleeders and death of the wicked by gruesome, karmic, violent methods, it creates greater poetic justice. Ideal for a revolutionary movie; with all the romantic heroism the present world so desperately needs.

WHEN THE LEFT SHAKES HANDS WITH THE RIGHT

WHEN THE LEFT SHAKES HANDS WITH THE RIGHT

3/22/06

 

What do you get when a left hand shakes a right hand? You get an awkward handshake, but if you glasp your own left hand with your right hand you get what many people consider a sign of peace , contentment, contemplation, prayer. I think this is where we have to go as right and left based Americans and world citizens everywhere. The left has got to see the right and right has got to see the left as fellow human beings.

I often put my hands together, either when I’m resting or just thinking about things. It’s an unconscious posture just as laying in a fetal position when you sleep. If an extreme conservative would meet an extreme liberal without first knowing his or her political or religious bent, the initial introduction would probably be a friendly one. If you have to know how someone votes or what religion they belong to before you meet with them you probably wouldn’t meet too many people . You wouldn’t meet me, because I never talk politics or religion with anyone unless I know them first. It’s a good rule of thumb.

On my radio show I virtually say anything I want to regarding politics and religion but I don’t know who is listening and if someone does call, oddly enough, their mostly supportive of my views. I think those who disagree with me might be afraid to call me, thinking I’ll insult them or hang-up. That’s not my style. Hell, if you call me then that means you’re listening and if you’re listening that means you’re interested and if you’re interested then I’m reaching you and I’m happy. It’s the same way with my television program. If someone really likes the show they will find a way to tell me. If they don’t then they just turn it off or suffer through it and tell me about it at some later date. Like “YOUR LAST SHOW SUCKED” OR “THAT WAS A GREAT SHOW THE OTHER NIGHT!

 

 I have to thank many of my readers who have contacted me. I haven’t been able to reply to some of the emails because for some reason their email address didn’t get through the webmaster service and I got a FAILURE TO DELIVER message. Try it again if you didn’t get a reply. 

 

Well I just got over the most recent Bush Shock. I get it every time I hear him speak. I watched five minutes of Bush’s news conference via internet and I got a little sick. You know that feeling when you see a public figure grovel. Or you see some poor bastard too drunk to form a complete sentence. I feel shame for seeing his suffering, then I feel anger that the bastard is the leader of the free world. Then I get absolutely ill when I hear someone applauding him. I get giddy with disbelief when someone defends him on talk shows or in news briefings. I get so completely sick at seeing this lying, miserable, moron from hell getting away with his crimes against nature and decent humanity simply by his mere existence. His simple existence is distressing to me, his stupid grin, and the wild incoherent speeches of a stubborn, isolated and ignorant man. I don’t care which end of the donkey or elephant anyone rides, at least their riding. G.W is simply squatting under the elephant’s ass like an idiot, telling the world how smart he is because he’s expecting rain.

If the left would make an effort to meet the right I think they would find middle ground. That middle ground is their common sense telling them that; it’s not the left or right that’s screwing up the world its G.W. Bush and all the other idiots squatting under the elephant with him waiting for rain. If you’re an intelligent citizen of the world and you still expect rain, I advise that you step far away from squatting G.W and get an umbrella.

Who are Americans?

WHO ARE AMERICANS?
3/2/06

I have asked this question because I’m not really certain myself. As a naturalized and legal citizen of the U.S I’m asking myself and the rest of the U.S citizenry, WHAT ARE WE and WHO ARE WE? What are Americans? For that matter what are Poles or Indians or Italians or Israelis or Russians or Sweds?

I’m not sure what an American is supposed to be other than someone who lives in the U.S.A. Are we suppose to be white , black , Asian, Indian, Arab, Jew, Irish, English, African, Chinese, Mexican, Mongolian, Pilipino, German French, Guatemalan, Nicaraguan, Colombian, Argentinean, Brazilian, Canadian, or just human.

I’ve met almost all of these nationalities in America and several I haven’t mentioned. America is a vast and deep melting pot of 300,000,000 million individuals with only one thing in common. They are supposed to be protected by a Constitution. Other commonalities are that most of us walk on two legs, are either male or female and eat, drink and sleep. Emotionally we love, hate, and everything in-between. After these common factors we are all different in our language, dress, traditions, occupations, politics, religion, taste in clothing, taste in friends, taste in women taste in men, taste in entertainment, and taste in foods, music, furniture, houses, and jobs, methods of learning and teaching, parenting, etc.etc.

My only thought in this essay is what constitutes an American. I think I’ve come to the conclusion that everyone is an American. If they are not then they should be. This might be a good thing. Everyone in the world becomes an American. One type of people. One type of world, free, open, and Liberal in its policies and form of government. Hmmm. could we all stand it? I think so as long as everyone swore to be a true American loyal to America, loyal to our Constitution, and impeachable upon illegal misconduct. This way we could begin hauling in some of these lobbyists, and crooked politicians and finally never worry again of outside or inside enemy forces and put an end to massive defensive spending and special interest lobbies. But as everyone knows who lives in this American reality, nothing comes from nothing, action speaks in louder ways than words and group actions and voices speak loudest and are heard most in the American Congress. Action by the American People will always keep their government from crumbling. Even if it does fall there will still be millions who will fight for it, defend it and resurrect it, because America is made up of Americans. Only if the world becomes American will the world understand that. Regardless of all our current faults (G.W and Congress), we are still the best there is.

The End of the Month is Here

THE END OF THE MONTH IS HERE!
2/27/06

What if the end of the world was here and the world was set to end at midnight on 2/28/06? Wow, now that is something to think about! What if tomorrow was the last day the world had to exist? If we knew this would we all run out and hug a tree or our dog or our spouse or our kids, or would we put on the biggest drunk we could without getting sick and just pass out? I wonder if I would become a raving lunatic and go hunting down people I never liked. What difference would it make then? Revenge before the end. Just knowing I got the sons of bitches before I died, even if the world ended a couple of hours later might relieve some of my eternal torments.

It is rather fun thinking this way. What would I do if tomorrow was the end of the World? Would I load up on my favorite junk food, would I go out and steal a Lamborghini and kidnap Pam Anderson then steal some guy’s billion dollar yacht and cruise for the few hours left in the world.? Would I rob some drug dealer of a few kilos and have a Scarface finale. I think I’d have more pretty women around me in my world ending then he did. I might get into some end of the world Power prayer group or a self medicating ritual of sex, drugs and rock and roll. What would be the last song I’d like to hear before the world ended? Who would I want to be with at the very last second, before the world ended? What would be the last thing or who would be the last person I would want to see before the end of the World? Maybe nothing and no one? It will all depend on circumstances anyway, maybe just myself and my soul and my thoughts of eternal life? Maybe I would want to be in the woods or on a beach or in my car on a highway with no other cars around, no other people within miles just myself. That’s the way it must end anyway with yourself, your fears, your loves, your hatreds, your unsatisfied desires.

The last day of the month is tomorrow and maybe the beginning of another month the following day or maybe not. I knew a man who told me never wanted to be alone. He feared it even more so at night. His wife wouldn’t sleep with him because he would smother her at night and not let her out of his arms. His children were afraid of him because he wouldn’t let them out of his sight. He drove everyone crazy at his workplace because he didn’t like to work alone; he performed best in a group. I often like to be alone. It’s very peaceful, very worry free, very human. I feel more connected with the universe. I enjoy being alone and I also enjoy company. I and myself have always had a good friendship that has never broken or drifted apart. So I ‘m pretty sure who I will be with when the world ends. I will be with myself, hopefully conscious and completely aware of my existence.

Some Sympathy for Shani Davis

SOME SYMPATHY FOR SHANI DAVIS
2/19/06

If anyone watched the 1000 meter Olympic skating event last night they must have noticed that Shani Davis had an unusually sour attitude in his first interview, for a man who had just won the Gold medal. It is amazing how important that first impression is, especially when it is seen by 1 billion people. The cost to his professional reputation and to his present and potential sponsorship opportunities was catastrophic. But based on the million obstacles he must of overcome to have won the Gold Medal, I can understand how some resentment towards a few of his team mates and a lot of personal pride over his achievement, could have effected his immediate facial and verbal expressions minutes after accomplishing a historical achievement. Most medal winners usually grin and babble breathlessly during their first immediate interview after winning. Shani Davis seemed far more intense and composed in his first interview, seeming more threatening to the camera than dough faced white boy with rosy red cheeks and a prep school smile. Shani was real and intense and he won. All else is a white man’s worry.

I can’t imagine the immense pressure he was under and the obvious disappointment of his American rivals who should go unmentioned. Davis received hate mail and threats and only he knows what other insults he received probably from his own team mates and the wonder bread Americans he valiantly won the Gold Medal for. I hope he does well in the rest of the Olympics. I will be rooting for him. I heard that Apollo Onho is one of Davis’s best friends, I like Apollo , and if he likes Davis why shouldn’t I. I do not know either men personally. I hope Shani Davis has a long championship career and is rightfully welcomed in the ranks of the legends like Jesse Owens; who first broke the Olympic color barrier as a Gold Medalist.

I guess it just proves that racism and jealously will always rear their ugly heads regardless of the occasion; but the young Mr. Davis would be well advised to keep more of a poker face or a perma smile on his face during all interviews. Maybe Apollo can teach him, he’s very good at it. I am disappointed with the American team for not supporting Davis. It reminds me of the hatred Jackie Robinson experienced when he broke the color barrier in pro baseball. I thought American white athletes had evolved a little more in the last 50 years, in accepting black athletes in white dominated sports? I hope they have, because I think the world will be seeing much more of Shani Davis and other black athletes in future Winter Olympics.

Was Cheney Bird Hunting on Bourbon?

WAS CHENEY BIRD HUNTING ON BOURBON?
2/15/06

Jim Beam was always advertized as the Hunter’s friend. Growing up I would flip through outdoor sports magazines like Field and Steam and see full page color ads of men in hunting clothes sitting around a campfire or in a blind with a bottle of Jim Beam assumingly shared by all . I’m not knocking Old Jim, I’ve enjoyed plenty of it and still do on occasion. But after hearing about Dick Cheney shooting his friend in the face and side while on a quail hunt, made me wonder if Old Jim might have had something to do with it.

I remembered an incident when I came close to being shot by and idiot in a hunting party.( I was later told he invited himself. ) There were five of us in the hunting party that day. The fifth guy was Jim. Beam. We kept him safe in a brown paper bag under the front seat of the truck and wouldn’t let him out until after the hunt. I wish we could have done that with the idiot who took a shot at me. When I heard about Cheney’s hunting accident I was reminded of my near accident and thought about why Cheney might have been invited to quail hunt that day. Who could say no to the VP of the U.S if he asked to join your hunting party,( even if you knew he was crazy.)

Dick Cheney has a reputation for being a car seat hunter and a guy who doesn’t really care to hunt he just likes killing. Several weeks before this recent hunting trip he went to a pheasant farm where 500 pheasant were released for him and his party. It was reported and announce on the Tucker Carlson show by the President of National Human Society that ; Dead Eye Dick Cheney shot 70 pheasant in a few hours. That must of been like shooting chicken in a chicken coop. ( He probably never left his car. ) This great white “Woosey” hunter must of been sipping on something stronger than coffee, to get off by slaughtering 70 pheasant with a shot gun inside of an hour or so. What kind of a sick mind would have fun doing that? The same kind of mind that would insist on allowing Iraqis to be tortured and filmed for his amusement. The kind of sick mind that would lie , cheat and steal his way to power. The kind of sick mind that would send 130,000 American soldiers into hell to face death and permanent disability, so he could profit by setting up no bid contracts with his cronies and former company Haliburton to supply the entire army. This is the kind of sick mind that would give the stand down orders to NORAD on 9/11/01 not to shoot down the hijacked planes heading towards the World Trade Center, so he could enjoy watching 3000 people explode and fall to their deaths. This is the kind of sick mind that takes pride and joy in deceiving the American people and recking havoc and death upon them . Imagine this soul less monster under the influence of Bourbon? Imagine this black hearted creature inviting himself into your hunting party? Why didn’t Dead Eye Dick contact authorities until 18 hours after the accident? The bastard was probably drunk and had been drinking all day. He couldn’t risk being tested; until he and his group of “Great White Hunters” got sober and got their stories straight. It’s very possible that the guy he shot was drunk as well. What else would have made him step in front of Dead Eye Dick ? What else would have made Dead Eye Dick shoot at his supposed friend at such close range? The distance was only thirty yards according to their official story. The friend that he shot must of either been drunk or suffering from dementia. Either way he doesn’t seem competent enough to have been carrying a loaded gun. Neither was Dick Cheney. This entire incident as reported remains totally suspect. But it is so typical of Dick Cheney or anyone in the Bush administration. WMDs , links to Iraq and Osama, no investigation into 911, no Cheney papers released on his Energy meetings. Cheney’s denial of involvement in the Valarie Plame outing, no explanation of his Haliburton stocks options etc.etc. etc. Unless his friend dies from the gunshot wound in his heart, their won’t be an investigation into this shooting incident either.

Dick Cheney is a menace to everyone. Similar to the idiot who nearly shot me. The idiot was drinking that day. He had several DUIs on his record and he was a wealthy black hearted bastard known and disliked by many. His nickname was Dick also. “Gee I’m sorry he said I thought you were a deer.” That’s what the idiot said to me after he shot at me and thankfully missed.) I wonder what Dick Cheney said to his friend after he shot him,”Gee I’m sorry I thought you were a quail.”

Is It Just Me

IS IT JUST ME? 2/8/06
I have to wonder if it is just me or is it the entire human population that sees things differently than I do. I see green trees, brown dirt, sometimes red and sometimes light brown. I see black nights and blue skies and white clouds and grey clouds. I see stars at night and sometimes I see the moon and stars during the early morning at sunrise. So why don’t I see other things the way other people do? This is a question I have asked myself for most of my life.

I can remember seeing a horror movie with a friend of mine when I was a kid. He laughed at many of the scariest parts and I was scared through most of the movie. That night I had nightmares of vampires. As an adult I see a man like G.W Bush and G.H. Bush and I get frightened. Kind of the same way I got frightened when I watched the vampire movie. For years I could watch almost any horror movie and not have the same reaction that I had towards vampires. Occasionally werewolves unnerved me depending on the movie. When I was very young I lived within several hundred yards from an old railroad track and for some reason old railroad tracks were always the setting for the old werewolf movies. The lugalou was the French name for werewolves and even the sound of the name use to bother me. I’m a reasonably mature adult now and most of the troublesome characters of horror have descended into bad B rated movies and are mostly laughable. But whenever I think of G.W Bush or his father as well as all in their administrations, I get that strange unnerving feeling that I use to get when I watched horror movies as a kid. That gut wrenching feeling of anxiousness while wondering, what’s he going to do next. How much more hideous and diabolical can the plot get? I am forced to ask myself how many more torture scenes and lies and scenes of war and evil can I tolerate, before I have to shield my eyes from the television set, or turn away from an article or turn off the radio. Never does anything good come from G.W Bush, nothing of hope or optimism, only his blatant lies, idiotic rhetoric and words of condemnation towards his opponents, the American people and to the rest of the world. His speeches are worst than B movie horror scripts. A scream or a shout would be a much needed improvement. A pulse of hope would be so appreciated, but will always be lacking in anything G.W Bush says. He rules through his ability to divide the American people. Make the born agains believe he is one of them. But Christianity is the furthest away from him other than Islam. This article will end on an optimistic note, one that lifts my spirit. Stop watching G.W. Stop listening to him. Put him out of our minds and sing a happy song. Eat junk food; drink a stiff drink just to quash that sense of horror when we see anything having to do with the Bush family.

Maybe I’m too cynical, or maybe I’m right but can’t bear to hear another falsehood come from G.W. Bush’s mouth. Maybe I’m just another American who doesn’t like G.W or his family. Maybe I’m not alone in my dislike for G.W. ? Maybe my dislike and distrust is because I’ve lived long enough to know better? Maybe I look for truth in everyone and when I fail to find it I show my disappointment consciously and subconsciously in my words and actions. But regardless, I hold my ground against G.W, his father and his family until someone can honestly prove to me that the Bush family is not the most dangerous and diabolical family on the planet.
