Senate Votes Health Care Out to Floor Debate

President Obama’s popularity rating slipped to 48% in the polls and people on the Mc Laughlin group are elated because the numbers fulfill their fondest fantasies. And the President is only 41% among White voters. This is indeed unhealthy. Not only this but the President himself said recently that he was comfortable with the idea of not running in 2012 if his poll numbers were down. The Mc Laughlin people cite the president’s “Lack of conviction” as a reason why he should not send young men off to war in Afghanistan, because America won’t support a leader who does not have his heart in the war. Clearly the President has to do something to show he had cajones. In terms of the Senate vote on the Health bill tonight, yes, the bill passed, but only by the thinnest margin possible echoing the narrow margin in the House a week ago. This health bill once it hits the floor will be torn apart and dissected to death. I am also reminded of the rather unpleasant truth that with each amendment that comes before the Senate, each one of those amendments has to pass by a sixty percent vote to become part of the bill. And this sixty percent rule is a rather stringent filtering process and I fear that along the way a lot of good idea may become filtered out. (Selah) And unfortunately along with the demise of this bill may be the demise of the Obama Presidency. FOX news will show bogus file footage on even the smallest protests of the Right, but when the Left brings out a lot of people to an event, it is ignored by the corporate owned media.

We are now listening to “Don’t Bother Me” on “The Beatle Years” on KRTH. November 29^th is the seventh anniversary of George Harrison’s passing. Of course today is November 22, 2009 and the anniversary of the Kennedy assassination. There is apparently a new book out now on Lyndon Johnson, and it seems that with Johnson he was aware of the “Optics” of his assuming the Presidency. So he had himself sworn in even though taking the Oath of Office was not technically required by the Constitution for a VP becoming President. And he had Jackie Kennedy by his side, dutifully. And he rode back on the jet that carried the President’s coffin to Washington. But now alas with President Obama the optics are all wrong now. Conservatives will get milage out of such things as the President bowing low to the emperor of Japan. And also in China, the President spoke of freedom of the internet, yet the Chinese censored his speech for television and the internet, to the point of shutting down bloggers who blogged about it. And Obama held a press conference where no questions were allowed to be asked. And also the President is in trouble for allowing Coleed Shiek Mohamed to be tried in a civilian criminal court in New York. Even centrists on the Chris Matthews show were baffled by this imagery saying that it sends the wrong message and leaves Americans with an incomfortable feeling about President Obama as a leader.

We could title this next topic “Reconsider Baby”. This morning I had to make a fateful decision about whether to go out and buy morning coffee on this cold morning, knowing that I would now no longer have sufficient funds for a pack of cigarettes. And yet I opted to go ahead because I’ve been wanting to give quitting smoking another try and this will as it were force my hand. I was going to treat you blogees to a story called “Behind the Pinewood Wall”. In mid April of 1985, David Stanley had a decision to make about whether to stay married to his wife when the relation seemed to have gone stagnant, or else file for divorce. David Stanley lived to regret what he decided and that was getting a Divorce, with a little push from his parents, who were more than eager to see David Stanley fail at anything. We’ll have that story for you sometime. The next posting will be one of the black blogs, either "Cosmic Tides" or "Psychic Bellanca" The TV went right on in this cold weather again. I don’t know about you but I look to signs from God, and there are certain things “God” does that just piss me off. For instance, I don’t like contradictory bull-shitter Evanveligests, who say they are teaching one thing but are actually telling people to do the opposite. They say to “Walk in the ways of grace”. So like if someone comes along and hands you a check for a million dollars on which the taxes have already been paid, one might expect you’d be like those three Russians in the movie “Nanotchka” where they bought a lot of fine clothes, and invested some of their money to buy a Russian restaurant to sell Russian food to the Turks, the way it used to be before the Revolution. But instead what I see with Christianity is that they are a few people as it were “flashing signs of money around”. I speak metaphorically now. Some are in tuxes and others drive fine cars I could never afford, and have women I could never afford. Meanwhile unbeknownst to me they are really working at a minimum wage job that pays $6.50 an hour- - but they’ll never admit this to me, or anybody out there in evangelical television land. Meanwhile I’m working just as hard if not longer hours getting paid three dollars an hour. One day Lucifer approached me and he said “Marcus, clearly you can’t keep this up because financially you’re running in the hole every month” and I said “Yes, but what am I going to do?” And Lucifer said “Come and see me at my business”. So I came and went in his office and saw all of this “script” money. Lucider says to me “Oh that isn’t for you. That’s for my Christian suckers. I intend to pay you the real thing in US dollars”. I asked how. Lucifer says, “Clearly living the way as you do as a Christian is insane. So I think you can make lemonaid out of your lemons and apply to the government to get on SSI to supplement your income, and you don’t need to tell anybody. I said “But who is this funny money for?” Lucifer said “That money is for the Christians who come in here. They sell me their souls so that in the After Life their life energy is mine. And in exchange I give them the script currency. Then they can go out and buy the tuxes and cars and jewelry and all the other things you see. But I also decided when I’ll let them wear them. I allow them only to wear these things to impress fellow Christians to the point of envy. I don’t allow them to go out into the work a day world with these things, but instead for the world I force them to appear as they are. One time Marcus went into a French restaurant and he ordered a cup of coffee without cream. Five minutes later the waiter comes back and says “We don’t have any cream. Can you take the coffee without milk?” When I got my black coffee a Christian apologist in the restaurant observing me came to me and said, “Don’t go around telling Christians that you’re drinking your coffee without cream. The owner of the restaurant wouldn’t want people thinking he was cheap”. This FOX evangelists- - after translating his words into understandable English- - says. “I know a lot of you want to go into Politics and you think if you do you will run a squeaky clean campaign and be utterly honest and untouched by graph. But I tell you if you’re really serious about that then you will never file papers to run. By never filing papers you will convince me you are serious in what you say about honesty”. Of course these people are in politics themselves, and they are members of The Family, and they are the most corrupt right wingers on the planet. But Christians don’t see what is right before them.

Jesus was talking about faith and belief as a road from here to there. In the beginning many trails appear but gradually one well trodden path is laid out, which eventually becomes a paved highway. I did not disagree with Jesus’ words. He said that “Just because you are discerning and reject false belief, does not mean the Truth is not out there waiting to be discovered. The truth will reinforce itself with respect to its truthfulness, and by this you shall know that it is true”. It is said that when one does an act of positive karma, that positive energy radiates out into the Universe and in the end the Universe pays him back. And when one does an act of bad karma, that bad karma again goes out into the Universe and eventually pays him back. We don’t know whether hyperspace is the realm of the “Spirit” or the realm of “karma”. I was asking my friend Larry about what he thought hyperspace was and Larry said he didn’t know, that the math and the concepts were beyond him, but suggest I read a book by Isac Assinov. We know that often “unsaved spirits” for lack of a better term, seem to reside in a single small area such as a house. Could this point they reside in be the point or funnel of the psychic realm? Does each person ascend through his own funnel of local into hyper space? One person I talked to agreed with me that perhaps God created hyper space as a part of our Existence. We don’t know but that we don’t, as the Apostle Paul claims, have some yet unknown “presence” or “reality” in hyper space right now, or that what goes on in hyper space NOW is vital to our lives now, and in the immediate future, and we humans do now know when unknown things will be revealed to us, or what effect these revelations will have on our future Lives. (Selah) Alright, cut and print.

Now They've Gone Too Far!

Now the fundamentalists have gone too far. There scriptures on bumper stickers and coffee mugs with Psalm 109 verse 8 on them. The verses read something like this: May he get a venial judge. May charges be framed against him. May he be tried and convicted. May his days be cut short. May his place in office be taken by another. May his children be orphans and his wife be a widow. These bumper stickers have as their tag line “Pray for Obama”. I would like to point out when the OT says “May his days be short” they are most often referring to a short life. And if I’m not wrong the word “venial” means “easy to bribe” or “petty”. Am I right or not? These Republicans have forfeited the right to ever be called patriotic. They have long ago forfeited that title. You hear Rush Limbaugh saying things about Presidents Clinton and Obama that a democrat on their worst day would never have said about President Bush in the way of personally below the belt jabs and utterly tasteless attacks. Francis Schaffer’s son, Frank is personally disgusted by these professing Christians. Ron Reagan wonders why they would quote Leviticus on matters of whether homosexuality is proper conduct, but would not quote verses in the same book about wearing cotton and linins together. Of course the right is quick to point out extremists of other religions such as Islam. If a Moslem had expressed these same sentiments and quoted their scripture to back them up, you have to know that the Secret Service would be all over them. It seems that our friend Hasan, has been exchanging some suspicious E mails, in which he ponders whether becoming a suicide bomber is what Allah wants him to do. I have no doubt that the government will get to the bottom of this Ft. Hood shooter’s case, and they should keep in mind that it’s a question of security and the man’s “mental state” rather than some crusade against any one religion. If Hassan has Al Qaeda connections, and it sadly appears at this point that he does, then obviously this is a security that should have been “profiled for” if I dare use that word. Clearly the issue to me is that the Army was so desperate to keep their personnel, they would have done almost anything.

After things are "settled" - - then what?

Harmid Karzai was officially sworn to his second term of office as President of Afghanistan. Apparently he underwent a multi hour “arm twisting session” by Hillary Clinton trying to get him to agree to govern the country in a manner we would like him to. But if he doesn’t really have the support of the people then perhaps President Obama “should think twice – at least once more” when it comes to putting another forty thousand troops in that country. Clearly the President doesn’t see withdrawal as an option. But in the words of psychotherapists everywhere “You always have a choice”.

Flash: Nicole takes Sabbatical from her Marriage

Oprah Winfrey has decided to bow out of her long standing TV program after twenty-five years, but she won’t be leaving till 2011. One wonders why somebody would commit themselves to a date far off in the future. When some people leave the airwaves they are serious, and Sylvia Browne is a prime example of someone that announced they were leaving after seventeen years on the Montell show, and nobody has heard of her since. Perhaps Oprah just wants to go out on a high note, and is obeying the Colonel Tom Parker adage “always leave the audience wanting more”.

The Killing Floor

Tomorrow is a big date in the history of Health Care in America because Saturday night is when they are holding a vote on whether to put the bill up for full debate on the Senate floor. Many who plan to vote against cloture to end the debate, when we reach that stage, will be voting to at least let the full Senate debate this compromise bill between the ones from the Health committee and the Finance committee. This is the bill with the Public option that red states can opt out of. In general it’s an awful bill in that its net effect will to be to raise the price of health care for the average American with all sorts of new taxes on broad segments of the population, rich and poor alike. It was pointed out that with one tax, 71% of the tax would be paid by people earning less than a hundred and fifty thousand. There will be layer upon layer of government beaucracies instated, and we all know once government has its nose in the tent, it only presses for more and more, like the proverbial camel. It seems clear that senators want provisions to allow government funded abortions included in this bill. And many such as Thom Hartman say it’s only “logical that we should include illegal aliens”. Either one of these inclusions would be a deal breaker to me, were I even inclined to vote for the bill.

One Photon = one electron and one positron

headed opposite directions

I’d like to return at this time to the notion of “bridging infinity”. Some see infinity as an obstruction to ever “finding God”. They tell us “Even if there is a realm we’ll call “The Other Side”- - - you can’t get there from here”. We proved that ourselves. Others see God AS “the bridge across infinity leading to the Spiritual aspects of existence”. Others say, “We are our own saviors”. Other people honestly don’t know which way is up and which way is down. They are morally upside-down, inverted. Homer Simpson one spoke of “opposite land”. In this land matter looks and tastes and acts the same in it’s own land- -there are not electrons, protons and newtrons, but rather – positrons and “antitrons” - - etcetra. So if I live in opposite land and I have four apples of negative matter where all of the atoms would have negative mass in positive space but have positive mass in negative space, and I give four apples to my friend on the other side of The Void in positive land, but to me it’s negative land - -after he gets my four apples he now has negative six when he used to have negative ten, in my point of view, - so have I not made him four apples richer? As you know a Calvinist’s favorite scripture is “- - with man this is impossible, but all things are possible with God”. If you’re like me, sometimes trying to conform to what is to me inverted morality of the other side is just more trouble than it’s worth. Weighing their moral arguments gives me a headache.

On Baker Street, twelve becomes thirteen

and Submission becomes Conquest

Some say that if you are in the will of God, it’s harder to get out of the will of God once you’re in it. If you’re a Calvinist, all virtue stems from the initiative of the Lord. Let me just say that even I can build a case for this line of thinking. As you know in our famous spiral staircase of karma - -each turn to the right lands you on a step higher and 22.62 degrees (approx.) to the right of the twelve by thirteen by five triangle. But right now I want to talk about the five. What is the significance of that? Well the five could stand for the human body with it’s limbs extended kind of like a pentagram, like on Rush albums. Five could stand for God and the Holy Spirit. And five could stand for Satan and the Goat’s Head upside down pentagram, like adorns the Republican Party logo. My point is that to do anything Good you have to go through God. He helps you briech the unbreachable and come to a higher level. Conversely, if your karma is to head down hill, you can’t do it without going through Satan. Now when you move to “an enlarged place” you get to control more of the squares on the chess board and have increased mastery over your opponent. If you are in a “tight place” you have fewer options. People should live by the grace of God, even if they can’t control it. (Selah)

LA Marijuana Wars

The L A District Attorney has announced that he is going to institute a massive campaign of prosecuting medical dispensary marijuana outlets that have mushroomed throughout the city of Los Angeles. He says he's "just following the law" but the City Council says that cash transactions of marijuana sales should be allowed as long as there is no profit. The D A himself has stated that he would allow marijuana usage from a "marijuana cooperative". I'm not sure how that would work and I fail to see the distinction myself between paying for marijuana or smoking it for free. But this action today will adversely impact a lot of cancer and AIDS and glaucoma victims who have come to depend on the marijuana to ease their symptoms, that can't be controlled any other way. Of course the people of California legalized medical marijuana ten or so years ago, and to my way of thinking that means that as long as you go to a doctor who proscribes it a treatment, then it should be legal.

Maybe I dreamed it but I thought I heard that the impitus behind this new mamogram ruling by the US government is that they have in fact discovered a cure for most cancers that will become comon place soon, and that this ruling is just a transition issue tword recognition of that fact. It would certainly seem that if a group has researched the issue and made their conclusions, then who am I to dispute them? Why would any woman want to undergo such an apparently unfomfortable prodecure and it's attendant worries, if it were not necessary. Especially because all that exposure to X rays may in fact contribute to any cancer. Most women who have had surgery come from a place of fear and drive themselves crazy with "what if" scenarios. It seems that women are hysterical over the news and on the phones to their doctors. Others cry that it's all a conspiracy of the H M O's to cut costs. You know something? "Cutting costs" may not be entirely a bad thing. To me it's a ballancing act. This whole field of "defensive medicine" is costing us all out the wazoo in hiked medical insurance costs! I think anyone who visits their doctor with the idea he's infallible is living in a fool's paradise. But if indeed cancer cures are just around the corner we may find this entire debate nothing short of silly in five years, if people who already have cancers can be cured.

Just as I feared and hinted about, President Obama is letting the Chinese walk all over him at these summets. Apparently the President has made absolutely no headway in his push for the Chinese to adopt "Clean Coal". Also it was stated that the Chinese will not DROP the price of their currency. But just as a reality check, the issue was whether the Chinese would allow their currency to rise under the same "free market forces" they profess to be so fond of. If the currency were allowed to rise to establish market equalibrium, then the issue of new terrifs would be a mute point. Meanwhile Google News pointed out that from 1948 through 2002, that US Industrial "Capacity" has never dipped, that is until George W took over. The Chinese don't care about our industrial capacity or production, and it's not really their business to care, but our business to care about that. They say now that industrial plants in this country will continue to close even as the so called "financial" recovery continues, bringing the new loss of still more jobs. All I can say if we really need a President who cares about American worker pride. Do you know where we can find one?

There is the plot of Days of our Lives which I believe now merits my commenting on. There is this woman named Nicole. She was "found out" in one lie about her arranging an illegal adoption of a baby from an under aged troubled teenager, because she lost her own fetus in a miscarriage with little hope of getting pregnant again. But now they are learning the rest of the truth. That Nicole arranged for her long term rival, Samantha (who got pregnant by Nicole's future husband, Elvis Di Mira), whom her (now) husband was in love with and whose relation Nicole wanted to quench, seemingly at any cost, that Nicole arranged for Samantha to give birth in the SAME hospital that the troubled teenager gave birth in, and they both gave birth coincidentally on the SAME day, and had babies of the same sex, in this case, females. And she got the doctor to switch the babies minutes after birth, while he was giving Samantha's baby a post natal exam. Now everybody, and notibly Samantha, the wronged woman - has found out that a baby she believed was hers didn't die as she had thought but was alive and well and her worst enemy, Nicole is taking care of her. I look at this plot and realize that sometimes Wrong just had blind luck on its side and sometimes "things can just come together" but don't call it the will of God like a Christian might do. Fred Mc Murry found out that "things coming together perfectly" may be just the Wrong sign to infer a green light from, and that as in the case of Double Indemnity, was the worst mistake of his life. You wonder how many other "unhappy coincidences" happen where people do wrong and seem to get supernatural aid, or at least a "push" in doing so. The truth almost invariably comes out. In the book "Legacy of Secrecy" the whole link between the Kennedy Assassination and the Mafia and Cuba and Watergate and Dick Chaney and Gerald Ford is unwraveled, strand by strand. Sometimes you suspect someone is lying. Elvis Di Mira believed his wife was lying, but he couldn't prove anything, as in the case of "Dial M for Murder" when you try to put all the pieces together they don't always Fit upon the first try. But that doesn't mean that the puzzle pieces don't indeed form a picture. As in the case of the origins of Christianity, we don't have the whole picture yet. My gut feeling, like Elvis Di Mira is, that I'm being lied to in a massive way. But I can't prove it- - and I haven't been able to make all the pieces fit - - Yet.

9 - 11 Mastermind to be Tried Criminally

Let’s hear it for Attorney General Eric Holder. Like I say – he’s the one guy you can really trust in the Obama administration. It was his decision to put Caleed Shake Mohamed on trial in a regular US court criminal trial. This displeases the Right Wing no end because they fear he will use it as a sounding board to preach his terrorist views. Of course not that many at Guantanamo Bay were actually tried and convicted in one of those military tribunals to begin with. Many fear the New York trial, just blocks away from “ground zero” will become a media circus. So what else is new? Others site security concerns saying such a trial would make New York the target for Islamic extremists. Conservatives like Larry Elder cringe at the idea of a regular criminal trial for this master architect of the 9– 11 attacks or anybody else. They criticized the Clinton administration for regarding terrorist acts as criminal matters rather than “acts of war”. Perhaps it’s just the conspiracy nut in me, but I wonder whether one of their fears is that some how some way, something “secret” that the Bush Administration has been hiding will come to light and cast doubts on the “official story” of 9 – 11. Christians are the first to look suspiciously on the motives of others, but do they ever look at themselves? How many Moslems are their in the world now, one & a half billion? What percentage of all of those Moslems from Morocco to Indonesia to you think are trained terrorists, or somehow secretly yearning for some sort of pan-Islamic uprising by violent force? My brother said last week that “people should be accountable for their violent teachings that influence others”. I don’t know. Where would that leave people like Hal Lindsey?

It seems that “2012” has raked in a substantial 65 million in box office revenue for its opening weekend. Actually, it’s just another garden variety Hollywood disaster movie with the usual rogue asteroid that apparently comes out of nowhere, unheralded, and causes earthquakes and the usual stuff. The Mayans were obsessed with the planet Venus and 2012 apparently ends a grand 26,000 cycle of the earth’s polar axis, if I have it right. I recommend that people watch several NOVA episodes on the topics of the Mayans and the Calendar. As for the Federation take on all this, naturally talk of the Rizzonians arises, who according to them used to lived on Venus before that planet experienced an ecological disaster five or six thousand years ago. We teach that Adam and Eve were Rizzonians who “seeded” out planet, to save it from the violent Ape genes that would have eventually destroyed the population. As previously stated the year “2040” was in my mind as the date of the beginning of some predicted Cosmic events.

This is Monday November 16, 2009 and the 36^th anniversary of my purchasing “Mind Games” on the last Friday before Thanksgiving in 1973. The President is in Meat City meeting with the Chinese leaders. We are on page six. I got up this morning and when I was getting into the shower the water went from tepid to ice cold so I aborted my plans. (abortions are not illegal yet) The TV went right on despite the cold weather. Meanwhile Richard still has his mendacity problem. He’s still talking about picking up his truck, and his wife in Vancouver before heading up to his horse range in Juneau, Alaska. Meanwhile every morning Janet reminds us that he’s outside the bakery and panhandles for a cup of coffee. I went to the bakery for a large coffee. I’ll be short changing the phone company this month because of this borrowing against myself. My bank account reminds me of that scene in Billionaire Boys club where they had that hostage locked in a trunk. He was about to pass out so they poked holes in the trunk. But then when he came to and began saying all this stuff to them they’d get tired of that and plug up the holes and he’d pass out again. They would repeat this cycle a number of times and like my bank account, pray the victim doesn’t die entirely.

Last night we learned that I E D stands for improvised explosion device. But for Christians they now report that 75% of Christian beliefs are destroyed by roadside I E D’s or “improvised expongement devicesx. My blogs are I E D’s.

Well now they are talking of inventing the Dinosaur Chicken. – which sounds like a new fast food place in the town of Bedrock that Fred Flintstone would go to. There is a guy in Montana who has found a whole “Dinosaur nesting area” and found more bones than his piers. But he has unconventional methods and dissects bones and soaks them in acid. And he has discovered soft tissue and even blood vessels in 80 million year old dinosaur fossles. He says that the baby ones are so small they would be unable to fend for themselves and unlike other reptiles, the mother does not abandon the eggs. They are continuing to find more and more anatomical similarities between birds and dinosaurs, and they both have the same bird feet – and chickens used to have tails. But the gene for the tail “shuts off” in the egg and the developing tail is destroyed, and now this guy wants to synthesize a new dinosaur out of a chicken. Stay tuned.

Here’s an idea for a new movie called “Going Rogue”. (I know – real original title) Saddam Hussein is the energy czar in this UFO type extre-terriestrial community and he is considered kind of a rogue and not to be trusted. He and a select squadron of space craft come to earth because he’s heard roomers of some dilithium crystal type energy source in the marshes of southeast Iraq. But the substance can only be chemically isolated if the ground is dry. So the spacecrafts shoot one of their ray beans at the ground and form a gigantic canal a mile wide to divert the water of the Tigris straight into the Pursian Gulf. And if there is “collateral damage” and the reeds are set on fire well that’s just tough. Meanwhile we see excerpts of this community of humans living there speaking a strange language with subtitles, in their reed houses. They almost get wiped out but then Saddam Hussein is in trouble back on his Home Planet and they all come and save the say and the community. End of movie. I know it’s not the most original script in town, but the bar in Hollywood seems to be set pretty low today. People forget that it’s actually a good thing Hussein is gone, because he was truly an evil man.

President Obama needs to decide his national priorities. They were saying on the Chris Matthews show (I caught the last fifteen minutes of the show) that this whole Health Care obsession has “sucked all the oxygen out of the room” and there is no room now to even think about other, more pressing priorities like more attention to jobs and the economy, and bank and financial reform. Now the President is going to China. The question was asked on Mc Laughlin whether the President needs China more than China needs us. Obviously the way things are now, we certainly do. They are “our banker”, as has been pointed out. And as our banker they lecture us on the dubious wisdom of low interest rates encouraging speculation, and “bursting the bubble” and endangering the recovering economies of the world. Now the President has “disappeared into a sea of umbrellas”. The President is in Shanghai even as we speak. Obviously the President could make things rather unpleasant for China if he confronts them on issues like manipulating their currency to keep it low and drive up our trade deficit. The President is taking a really long time to decide about Afghanistan. The news of last week apparently didn’t do it for him. They say if we make the commitment that we “should” we will be there for ten years and spend hundreds of billions of dollars to totally revamp the country. The American people have indicated they don’t want that. And speaking of China, why doesn’t the President urge China to get tough on Iran and discourage them from making bombs, because if Iran has the bomb, China could also be adversely impacted.

Sarah Palin can be counted on to do precisely the wrong thing if she has any shadow of a hope of running for President. Meanwhile most Republicans, when pressed, will inform you they prefer Mike Huckibee or Mitt Romney, or that newly elected Republican moderate governor in Virginia. Palin doesn’t mind being just another media circus and we’ve had so many of those. There is Michael Jackson and did Phil Spector’s victim really commit suicide, and there is Anna Nicole Smith’s soap opera like last months, and Martha Stewart and Blogoiavitch alias “Blogo”. The latest edition of the media circus is “Balloon Boy”. And Sarah Palin getting the whiff of sawdust could not stay away but now has to get back into things. It’s no wonder Christians like her because, no offence, Christians are obsessed with their own selves, so it’s logical they would pick a Presidential candidate in their image. People thought Bill Clinton was self-obsessed, but Sarah Palin breaks all the records. She had absolutely no inclination to any discipline or doing the needed leg work, or getting background on events, and she does not seem interested in serving her country but being the latest Media Celebrety. As long as she keeps raking in the money. That’s what it’s all about today. Or as Alice Cooper said thirty years “they can gossip about me, just make sure my name is spelled right”.

Preachers used to love to preach sermons on the topic “People aren’t really happy today”. I don’t know if that’s true any more. Today there are so many electronic devices to inform and entertain us, so we never have an idle moment but are most likely doing several things at once, like texting, driving, and eating chicken Mc Nuggets. Things weren’t so hot a hundred and fifty years ago. If you were a woman you had a lot of both back breaking and menial chores to do to keep the Mansion running. And perhaps your husband was off on the front lines of Gettysburg and you sit all along in one of those long dresses that leave everything to the imagination. And you dare not go out in public unescorted to, say, a tavern, or a stage show. I think people were much more well acquainted with misery back 150 years ago so they sat around writing flowery poetry and writing long-winded letters to their loved ones, careful to use proper grammar, of course.

NASA Confirms Water on the Moon

They have discovered 24 gallons of water in a crater in the form of ice on the moon, that apparently never sees the light of day. This confirms speculation last September that there was in fact water on the moon. They are saying this may have positive ramifications when it comes to permanent space colonies on the moon. However with just 24 gallons of it, this would allow a team of eight just a pint a day for 24 days, or conversely it would allow a team of 24 just eight days of living on the moon with this water. We should pray they find more water. I imagine oil prospectors have become good as estimating, for example, how much oil a region will produce by the output of just one well. Obama still has no funding for moon traveling now and they are sticking to that rather backward 2020 schedule of the next landing on the moon. By the year 2020 hopefully, and probably, our technology in all areas will have advanced considerably.

Google is now in trouble for not blurring faces and license plates in Switzerland and other areas in Europe. They have technology to seek out faces and blur just them, just as they have technology in Picassa to find any photo of yours with a face in it. Obviously there are privacy concerns. But nobody was concerned about the Bush government "word mining" microwave telephone transmissions searching for words like "bomb" or "revolution" or "target" that could be used to narrow the search down to a few specific phone conversations. At time I am amazed just how "public" the Internet is allowed to be and I have often wondered how long this state of affairs will be allowed to continue before the government comes in and controls and sensors the whole thing, perhaps more severely than they do in China right now. With all this computer stimulation of young children and also the "knowledge base" being more accessable to all when it would take journeys to countless libraries and halls of records to get the same results, it will be surprising if we don't have some super generation coming up in the next few decades. The idea of both privacy and "secret knowledge" may become a thing of the past.

You know, we have a problem with the House Health Bill, as we do with the senate bill in that neither bill gets to the real root of the problem. All both bills do is basically shift the costs of health care from one segment of the population to another, and as a by-product increase general government meddeling in the whole health care process. Even the House bill will only allow to six or eight million the choice of a "Public Option". To me this is not a significant enough figure to pass the measure and open the green light on all that other government involvement. As conservatives point out repeatedly, "Once the government gets involved in a certain segment of the economy or legal precedent, it's there forever; it never withdraws". As such government is seen as Mc Bernie saw communism thirty and forty years ago. It's a process where "retreat" is not in their vocabulary. Six million Americans exercising a public option is not enough to significantly impact the insurance market. As you know, the goals of reformers is to provide competetion to get prices way down, like thirty five or forty percent, more along the lines of what they are in other countries. This bill will still "preserve" the most inefficient health care system in the civilized world. We need to pass a bunch of other laws along a long economic front, to get to the root of our basic economic problems. Congress doesn't have the stomach for that. So what President Obama needs to do is launch a Crusade against a "Do Nothing Congress". President Harry Truman did this in 1948 and was successful, I might add. Also sometimes the problem of liberal causes not being successful enough is to be More radical, as strange as that sounds. In a documentary about Brown verses the Board of Education, a decision was made in the advocacy process to "go for broke" and to espouse a far more radical and sweeping reform of the system than anyone had ever dreamed of. And once again it worked. The favorable ruling by the Supreme Court in May of 1954 became law- - eventually, after a lot of police riots.

I would like to respond to an Objection some readers may have to the blog of two postings back where I stated that you can go 2.71 times faster at given intervals and "Do it till the cows come home" and never achieve the speed of light. Some may say "You can't even do that Once". First I'd like to remind you of Einsteinian addition of volocities, and that formula "where you never get there". But now I'd like to talk about "The Infinity Problem and the Problem of the Moving Zero" alias "The God Problem". The thing with Infinity is no matter how resolutely you approach and strive for it, in the end you are absolutely No Closer to attaining your goal than when you began. The other aspect of "The God Problem" is that everybody looks up at the stars, they are minded of God, and then decide that They are the Center of the Universe. And everyone they meet has had the same revelation, that they are the center of the universe. How do we apply these thoughts to Einsteinian physics, you ask. I'd like to introduce some new concepts to you. First, there is the problem of "The moving zero". Everybody thinks they are starting at ground zero. So the guy who adds 2/3 and 2/3 and gets 12/13 as Einstein tells them, well, guess what? He's still at Zero. He's a nothing. When you drive in your car and the spedometer climes to 110 mph, he has a clear reference how fast he is traveling, because zero is his reference point. He knows the limitations of his car and how hard he's pressing on the gas peddle. But as far as Einstein is concerned he's still at zero. Everybody is at zero. Therefore in light of this, going 2.71 times faster than you did before is "no problem" given your reference point. Do you see what I meant now? But the other major problem with Einstein is it's an apparent violation of the proposition "If A is greater than B, then B is less than A". Eionstein said on the other hand "If your A, A is greater than B, if youre B, B is greater than A. One point that can't be overstated is the fact that the special theory of relativity was Invented to Conform to the "Ether Theory". Reminding yourself of this makes the whole thing make a lot more sense. Of course in addition to the moving zero we have "the moving circle". Because everyone who approaches the speed of light is seen by an Observer on their Home Planet as now at the edge of the Universe where matter is contracting, but you still think you're in the Center and those observing you are now on the Edge. So in this soap bubble view of the Universe that wasn't new with me- - - you have some screwy geometry. The question is how much Acid to you need to drop before the theory of relativity makes sense? We "normal people" say, "If so and so is in the Center of the Circle than I am NOT at the Center of the circle". Or use "Edge" if you want. Where that Jeff guy that calls Thom Hartman occasionally comes in- - - is the tripped out view of "If you look at things from another place they not only SEEM different but they actually ARE different, that is, for You. So Wickepedia says "Some observers see things happen at the SAME time where others see one event happen BEFORE the other. But it doesn't just SEEM that way, it really IS that way, for that observer. So A isn't greater than B after all but smaller. Or to use a direction metaphore if you travel north after a while others see you at the North end of the Universe. But you still see yourself at the Center. It's "the moving zero". So "How do I find the Edge of the Universe?" The answer, simply is, "You Don't". You are always traveling Zero mph no matter where you are. An old religious saying is "Draw near unto God and He will draw near unto You". But of course since the first part is mathematically impossible to achieve, the second part will never happen". (Selah)

A and B - Separate But Equal- - - or Not

Somebody out there in cyber-land is asking themself the key question, "But what about the space traveler that leaves his home planet and goes to another planet to visit for a season and then returns to find that he is twenty years younger to people on his home planet?" Has Plecy verses Ferguson invaded Science here? I mean - equal is equal - right? Well of course in the radio transmission BOTH are going to observe each other's radio transmissions slowing down when the ship is headed away from the home planet, and BOTH will observe each other's transmissions speeding up on the journey home. But for instance, if you're stoned in some black sensory deprivation chamber and all you see is two eggs lit by some light and not the hand that moves them- and you're so dizzy you don't know which way is up, and you see the eggs separate and stay apart a while and them come back together, you may have trouble determining which egg actually moved, because you're in this sensory deprivation chamber. So who's to say that the guy who visited the distant planet was the one that moved, and the other guy didn't. I mean just because the guy in the rocket was Black and the people on the home planet are White - - you can't discriminate, can you? Well actually yes, there is a difference. You've seen that conception scene in "Rosemary's Baby" where Rosemary blurts out "This isn't a dream; this is really happening!" The Black guy in the ship has has an Experiance the white guys on the planet haven't had, and not just because he's listening to Hendrix, either. There is a little thing called acceleration and gravity. Now to slow down time and all that fifty percent, Time Life tells us that the ship has to achieve the speed of 90% of light. And it takes a year of one G acceleration to reach light speed. Remember? I figured that out on a calculator. (in 1974) And we all know what gravity in large amounts means. It's the whole time-space thing. ANY subjecting to large quantities of gravity means that time-space is altered. And the thing is - if you spread out the acceleration - - it's just like spreading out anything like a quantity of paint. One person may use five coats on the same surface, and another guy uses a single coat on five times the area but both are using identical quantities of paint. OK, is this clear as mud for you now? Atomic particles in a cyclotron are observed by stationary people to slow down in an environment where the Doppler effect doesn't really come into play, but it slows down none the less. Capish?

Brieching Infinity

The title in itself has the conottation of something almost blasphanus going on, as though it were something "We humans wern't supposed to do". I'm typing this now so you people on the East Coast can read me at ten o clock. Why make people wait when you have news? For those of you who did not read the previous posting I strongly suggest that you do, as well as all the "paragraphs" I have done in recent postings in this blog and the last, on this metaphysical subject. On my last postings I made reference to the speed of light as a "zero" point. One should keep in mind that subjectively light travel is instantaneous. Astronomy Cafe illustrated this reality to me where light is instantaneous in travel with respect to gravity thus bringing to light the "What you see is what you get" principle. Some may point out that I have the matter shrinkage and expansion rates all wrong. They will say that as you move away from the speed of light (slowing down) that shrinkage rates are less and not more, as I seemed to imply. On the other hand we view light on This Side of Infinity, and keep in mind that functionally we are talking about infinity or "the fastest speed possible". If you add increments of base E or increase the speed of travel by steady increments of 2.71 - - times faster with every increment, you can do that till the cows come home and you will STILL never achieve the speed of light. So when I start as it were "from the other end" and work back, don't knock the math. The whole hyperbolic equation of x squared minus x squared equals one, is a hyperbola when graphed out. How some will say "where does base E come in?". These are increments added later to give you a formula. You can still calibrate the chart with logarithmic increments. But this is not to preclude the intent of these calculations by scientists with grater minds than I do. Much in the same way if - - you look at the animated diagram in Wickipedia, you won't see actual degree markings in circular trig functions, so you won't see the base E calibration markings son their hyperbola chart. What you have to ask yourself is "what speed is infinity divided by Base E? It's an "infinetessible" increment. Which is why the physicality line goes off the chart. Capish?

The Federation brieched the Infinity alias the speed of light barrier at least four or five thousand years ago and perhaps as long as 13,000 years ago. We know that in Biblical times that "men began seeing angels". We don't know if this was a new phenomenon to mankind on this planet at that time. But Federation people tell me this morning that both space warping and traveling in hyperspace are similar technologies and if anything space warping is easier because it involves the generating or projecting artificial or synthisized gravity off into space (brieching the infinity barrier) rather than turning man's physical body into "energy" or whatever it turns into, for travel in hyper space. Earth should be experiancing this technology in a few decades.

Finally, in none of these "ramblings" on my part to I allow any place for God. Now the traditional deist view allows for "action" or "involvement" on God's part only for events beyond the realm of this Universe and the space and time of this Universe in what you could call the "Simple" view of the Big Bang theory. (simple as opposed to multiple) But in my writings we have apparently eliminated the need for this "all encompasing event that proves the existance of God". However we still have physical laws of science, and even in a world of chaos there is some sort of "design". To say that pure Science is God, is kind of to call God the "Logos" or "study".

Wondering Aloud (Again)

Sometimes you just need to sit back and ask questions because you don’t have the answers you’re looking for, and the answers others have given about “things” don’t really satisfy you. Well, the minute I get my “God” degree, I’ll be sure to pass the acquired knowledge along to you. But in the mean time we are wondering about things like why are our soldiers on our fourth and even fifth deployments in sort of a “back door draft” and we people in America aren’t doing thing about that. I’m not one of these Robert Kennedy types who cries “economic discrimination” at the drop of a hat. I believe there is such a thing as a “free market” and every young person has the Choice how they are going to spend their years after high school. If your poor and you can’t get a job or a job that pays decent wages thanks to people like Larry Elder, I see nothing wrong in the idea that you can sign up with Uncle Sam for a while and get some needed training to “make a man out of you” and give you all that needed discipline and such for life. People like Bobby Hayden and Pike (both alieases) show their maturety every day of the week. They are more established, settled people because both served in the military. And much as it may fly in the face of public opinion we must remember that all these wounded veterans or disabeled in other ways – they all had a Choice and made their choice to join. It’s not as if they were dragged off the streets kicking and screaming like they used to “Shanghai” people into the Navy in Britain. But people wonder about a lot of stuff today. We wonder how we are going to settle the moral questions that still vex society such as abortion and homosexuality and euthanasia. And now people are looking for answers in the Supernatural and states of Being that are beyond our present knowledge. Certainly there is no shortage of these inputs with movies out like “Paranormal” and “Close encounters of the Fourth kind” and such. And then we have TV and new shows like “V” and also “Flash Forward”. People are thinking about things that are still taboo to many sectors of society like talking with departed spirits such as in ‘Ghost Whisperer”. Now the movie to see is “2012”, which was heralded months ago with promos on the internet and which stimulated a lot of research on my part harkening me back to the “Age of Leo” when there was a thaw in the ice age that spawned high civilization, according to some. I think it’s a healthy thing to see where we have been because life tends, despite our best intention, to be liniar meaning that is not only Going someplace, but that we have Been someplace. People who discount where a person has been are in most cases kidding themselves. As Dr. Phil is so fond of saying “The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior” and I believe the same principle applies with direction vectors.

The Federation has its own slant on the coverage of Hassan, who killed those thirteen men on the base and wounded thirty others. The Federation has friends among Suni Moslems and is not going to come out with anything too condemnatory. Some would say that “we liberals” don’t recognize Evil when we see it. Let’s say that the eventual execution of this man is a given. We still want to know the truth about what causes people to stress out in the military. I don’t believe his actions were a part of any “organized terrorist movement” and I don’t believe he was in a “terrorist cell”. I find it an interesting of note that he attended the same mosque as two of the 9 – 11 hijackers, but I don’t think the coincidence goes beyond this. Some may say that all of Islam is evil because the New Testament does not contain any teachings to go out and kill infidels. But most theologians will also tell you that God’s nature doesn’t change with the course of time (unless you’re dispensationally minded) and as such it’s the same blood thirsty God of the Old Testament giving these injunctions to waste people in genocidal fashion- - the same God also said “Love thy neighbor as yourself” but even that phrase was lifted from the old testament, so it was not new with Jesus. But if you are like me, who believes that “You are what you do” then there is a far more powerful reason not to somehow “elevate” Christianity above Islam. And that is in church practice over thousands of years the church has “modeled” what it regards as “proper behavior” for us, much as a parent models it for a child. Other than the Nazis, and those eery similarities between sayings of Adolph Hitler and Martin Luther, there are also of course the Crusades and the Inquisition and the Salem Witch Trials, and the wars in places such as Lebanon and Ireland, which were over religion. If “violence is as American as cherry pie” I guess “War” is as much Christian as giving alms to the poor or becoming a missionary to Africa. In short, the church has no monopoly on morality or Righteousness. As George Washington’s blog pointed out, the word “Justice” is used over two hundred times in the Bible, but who is listening out there?

But that’s not primarily what I was intending to talk about today. What I want to do, what I need to do for my own mental clarity, is to probe the “physicality” of souls and deeds in the After Life. I believe we can deduce the ideas that “drive” an individual by looking at their deeds. They may not be conscious ideas. They may be “thought viruses” (or engrams) like that individual on Public Television says. But they are ideas none the less. Those Christians who say “Deeds don’t matter” in my opinion are flouting God, and as you know scripture, which they profess to revere, says “God is not mocked. Whatever a man sows he shall also reap”. And in one of my rare quotes of Chuck Swendoll, it’s a truism that “When we reap, the thing will be in a different (more matured) form than when we sowed it, and we will reap in a “different season”. I believe for so many of us that “different season” will be death. President Obama alluded to the hereafter in his speech at the military funeral the other say, saying that we face not only justice on earth, but in the hereafter. How we probe the physicality of thoughts and the souls with whom these thoughts are associated? First of all I would again like to use that word “telestial” to refer to this realm. I had a strange revelation this morning. Evil is just as “necessary” as Good is in this universe. Of course I define evil as “the circle” and good as “the straight line”. People may be impacted by Evil for a short season. Let me liken this to seeing Mercury behind the sun in a different place during a total eclipse because light was bent. But scientists tell us that not light but it is space itself that became “bent” in kind of an initial stage of a hyperbola. How do we use this principle to say that Good is “bent” by Evil, but it has to be because to be straight it has to be bent by space. Taking a human life is one way. For those like me who base justice on the accountant’s model, this poses no problem. You take a life and your forfeit a life. It’s just that simple. But for the “Thou shalt not kill” crowd, they see ANY act of taking a human life as evil. But the book of Joshua says to “go neither to the right nor to the left” and this is just what light does, even in bent space. It’s bent by evil but some would argue that this “bending” is “necessary”. Are you still wish me here?

Now I would like to set up another model for you. This side of “Infinity” and the other side of infinity, that we will call hyper-light-speed, or hyper mass or hyper space and all of that. We know that thoughts and ideas can be viewed as Objects. Those of you programmers might think of them as functions. Now functions “process information” and tell you “how to think about it”. This is what an Idea does. It draws from stimulation or “input” and out on the other side comes the emotive content of the idea. We don’t think of “Ideas” as special, or occupying space. An idea is a thing unto itself and everything the idea needs to exist is contained within itself. Christians, for one, are interested not only in What the idea is but asks the question “who owns it”. In other words who possesses “legal title” to the idea? Most ideas originate, or are associated with specific people who propose them. And if two people should have what appears to be the same idea, they needn’t be “existentially identical” to the people who first came up with them. The model I would like to use now is from Optics, where “Infinity” is but another line on a camera focus setting. On “this side” of infinity we have what we call “an apparent image” and on the other side you have what is known as “The real image”. You may feel like swapping out these terms in your mind, but dig this: A real image is something which focuses on a point. And I believe the “point” is where this side of infinity meets the other side. I have spoken of the karmic parabola. But some purist gemotrists out there may correct me and call it a circular “hyperbola” because of its ninety degree spread. Now in my Prophecy book I invisioned this karmic funnel, which I have often spoken of, as eventually “flattening out” so that as it were “the circular grid lines eventually reached “escape volicity” where the circle becomes just a slight hyperbola. (see previous reference with my 3D cones example, or look it up) I believe at this point, for purposes of this example illustrating the “telestial” realm, that these circles never reach their escape volicity, so circles they remain. Astronomy said that without Gravity, all of time and space would come to an end. If you’re like me you don’t want that to happen just yet, even in the after life. In fact, since “circles” are possessive, if a line reaches “escape velocity” then it has broken the circle and “broke the rules” and you know what happens when you break the rules as a course of habitual conduct in any game or athletic contest. You know what happens: You get kicked out of the game. You’re not allowed to “play” any more. You’ve left the Universe. I believe there is a place in the Universe for such hyper-space that is karma related. Of course Dante deals in circles both as to describing Heaven and also in describing Hell. So the concept is not new.

And now we come to the fifth and final movement of this expository symphony. I would do separate postings but to quote Charles Laughlin, “To have to hear this ghastly testimony in installments would prove unendurable!” Let’s get back to the whole hyperbolic thing. First of all I was intrigued by the E = M C squared equation, but it puzzled me, because anything accelerated to the speed of light by Einstein’s own writing is moving at an infinite speed through time, or in other words, all movement has stopped, and the last time I checked, energy was movement. In fact I in the past have said that part of the definition of Life is the implicit movement gradually through time, where the object evolves in its natural course. But in terms of physicality, we could look at the hyperbolic cosine of one, to say that at the speed of light, the physicality has a root presence but in terms of the sine, its life force is zero. Also its tangent, which could be rated as the efficiency or “actualization” of the individual, this too is at zero with the speed of light. This is the theoretical “point” at the bottom of our funnel, that some would say is never reached because there is no bottom. The same would be said on a logarithmic stock price chart, but we know stocks “crash” to zero all the time, and this represents a figurative orbit that has crashed. Now I observed a strange fact about the whole hyperbolic theory in that it seems as if the whole thing could be graphed on a chart that Base E logarithmic in the horosontal direction. Many like the Wickepedia make reference to the turquoise “A” triangle image, which I don’t exactly understand except that it’s “One” based. When a number goes to One the tangent is .76. I have said that if all life can be reduced to a fifty fifty odds of success, then if you do two tries at something you have a 75% probability that what you are experimenting on is valid. If you look at the hyperbola thing Base E based - - then everything on the left of the chart involves smaller and smaller measurements. The physicality of an object is never lower than at x – 0, or the speed of light. We define physicality here as something which in the hyper space realm can be perceived as actual. Ideas occupy hyper space. They man MAKE their own space to BE. As they grow the circle enlarges. One theory argues that the "ocelation freqquency" rises with the size of this circle, but the Size of the ocelations or "waves" remains constant so as the circles are traversed time is perceived to be in more abondance with more ocelations per traversing. In this model, physicality is the only means of measuring Life in this sub light realm. As the figure x goes up to Base E multiples of the speed of light, both the “alive” ness and the psychic physicality of an entity increases, but the tangent or “actualization” can only very nearly approach one. One can argue that if this number ever exceeded One, then escape volicoty would be reach and the entity would be expelled from this Universe. This Universe to review, is within the formatting of the bubble described in a previous posting. In this karmic funnel construct, the complexity of the thought makes up its increasing physicality. As Scientology teaches, the Life force (the Sine) would reach Death were the entity be slowed to the speed of light wherein all life forces would stop, physicality would be reduced to its lowest possible Point (literally) and the actualization (tangent) would be at zero. “Bye!”

House Passes Health Care Bill

Many didn't think they would do it but the US House stayed in session all day and into the night Saturday to pass the long awaited National Health Care bill by a vote of 220 to 215, If three representatives had gone the other way there would be a different story today. Many republicans take comfort from the narrow victory pointing out that this bill will never make it past the senate. But it is a victory and sometimes victories can provide their own momentum. The debate yesterday was fast and furious as many speakers were only alloted one minute to say their piece. One might say that both positions are well dug in and entrenched with no hope of compromize. Only one republican voted for this bill whereas they say that forty blue dog democrats voted against it. This is not an encouraging sign. This bill contains the Public Option of course, and also makes reference to "unfunded mandates", which I personally feel uncomfortable with. And the bill will force employers to provide Health Insurance to their employees even when it might be disaventagious for them to do so. It levies heavy fines and even jail for those people who refuse to buy insurance. Clearly this is exercising the Thom Hartman option of "sharing the risk", or in other words, a redistribution of wealth, -not from the rich to the poor, but from the healthy to the sick. In this bill you are penalized if you're continually healthy. But with all that said they promise everything will opporate more efficiently than in the past and that in the long run expenses will be cut. The public option portion of the bill doesn't kick in till 2013, but other provisions kick in immediately.

Today is a key twentieth anniversary - and that is of the tearing down of the Berlin Wall. People have chunks of the Berlin wall in their personal collections all over the world, and there is a portion of the wall to look at at the Reagan Presidential library. People thought communism would end but Russia is still a threat. I don't understand why the world still even needs NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Alliance, if there is no longer a Soviet threat. Russia doesn't want nations like Ukrane to be a member because they feel encircled. I still consider it an outside possability that Russia will ally with Iran to start some kind of a third world war. People like Chuck Smith are holding on to this "hope" to save their eccliastical legacy. I don't know what Russia wants but they obviously want SOMETHING, and I find that unsetteling.

You know I haven't come out and said it but perhaps you computer people can understand the concept of "reformating time and space" in the creation of a new Universe. In other words we don't even know if anything was previously there AT ALL, but it doesn't MATTER because everything will be reformatted. Thus time and space will have their own inique identities with each new Universe formed. Some will protest that Black Holes can't be beyond a certain size and therefore my theory is nuts. But I say that since we have not and will never see a Black Hole in this universe with our time and space, it's a little pointless to say what would happen in al alltogether hypothetical Universe. Oh by the way I figured out something I heard in High School math about imaginary numbers. I was told imaginary numbers were in fact used in the real world in electronics when you square measurements. Some of you wondered about my math when I talked how "the math is the same for negative space" saying "How can it be since negative numbers go positive". Let me explain it to you in simple terms. If I give you two negative dollars today and in a week the intreat paid on the loan is one hundred percent, then who owes who what at the end of a wrrk? Well, the answer is that I owe you four dollars, or in other words, you give me four negtative dollars. The concept here is that negative space is not negative numbers. If you square two miles of negative space it makes four miles of negative space- - because the amounts are positive even though the space is negative. Now on a slightly different subject- - space folding- - obviously the Federation would do this for very large objects like perhaps whole asteroids, that would be too big for a "transporter converter" to hyper-mass. Does that make sense? Now when you fold space you go "above the surface" of the green golf grid. This provides the "space" to fold the surface. One might invision among that one mile of fog of ether into a TRUE vacuum that would be hyper-space. Now of course the atoms and matter would be mirrored in one dimension. Some may chime in again "Does that make the mass negative?" No. Mass goes negative with time and not necessarily space. The term "mirrored mass" rather than "negative mass" would apply here. In fact the Federation teaches that normally time is not effected at all but sometimes there is what they call "gravimetric distortion" where events can leap- - usually months either backward or forward. Some ask, "But you said time travel was impossible in a four-dimensional universe". What I think I said was "You can't Change anything that would have or has happened. I only go on what I am told. This was around 1987. Try this thought on for size. "We never said you couldn't be two different places at the same time". Only that if you ARE destined to have this happen to you, that it has happened from the dawn of eternity or "the foundation of the universe". It doesn't violate the four-dimensional rule. In terms of the distinction of telestial and "celestial" - - let me repeat that the Federation ephasizes that they do telestial and not "celestial" travel. To strike up another metaphore, they may venture off the surface of the bubble, but they don't venture very far. I would also say that the surface of the green golf grid represents sub-light space but you haven't necessarily escaped all "formatting" in the bubble. I say this is because Mal Evans has told me "All federation travel is confined to this Universe. (meditate on this now)

Here are the other five or so axioms we didn't get to. A religion or corporation too big to fail is too big to exist. This is because, as we said, these entities need to "justify" their existance, which means they have some Reason to exist. If they have no rational means where there legitimacy may be tested it may be said that there IS no way for them to either be counted as "worthy" or "unworthy". It's kind of a variation on the theme of "actions ought to have consequences" or-"Part of the definition of life is that there is a possability that it may die". In terms of the computer one. When I look at an old BASIC program and run it - virtually one hundred percent of the time, glitches in performance are due to "opperator error" meaning I've forgotten how to run my own Program. The way to refresh my memory on this is to look under the hood and see what the thing was Designed to do. You know, I think God should be the FIRST person to abide by this principle with human beings rather being the LAST person to subscribe to it- - which seems too often the case. And I'm not even talking about Changing the code, but merely understanding its proper function. If knowing the code is beyond God's apparent ability, then Changing the code would be even farther beyond God's capabilities. In terms of the one about a billion here and a billion there- - - . Dr. Levy says that true happiness can only come from grandiose accomplishments like marriage and family and creeier, or getting a degree. That things like food and sex and recreation don't count for "true happiness". There is this thought virus circulating that goes "If something doesn't last Forever - - then it's useless" These are short term sources of happiness, but after 365 days you have a whole year, and this can be sizable. If your life conversely is filled with lots and lots of continued short term misery (like from one exotic health diet after another), then the long term starts to be affected, too. Think about it. It's people like Chuck Smith who teach that ordenary pleasures don't bring happiness but only "Jesus" does this. Of course the Answer to everything is "Jesus". (ha ha) The Adam Smith one is simple. Dr. Levy says find some nitch in society to develope your tallent. But we all can't, for instance, be psychotherapists counceling people all day long, or have a "master passion" of being a spiritual model to be envied by others. But the free market must be satisfied. There is a truth that trying to be what you are inherently not can be frustrating. Some people's "efforts" or "deeds" are just WORTH more than the deeds or efforts of others. Not all of us have some seemingly aura of magnitism about us the way certain people seem to. This is cold, hard reality. By the way I also value the economics of Adam Smith on the national and world economies. I think if his principles were in true opperation, a lot of problems would solve themselves. There is a lot of "cheating" going on today, such as the manipulation of the values of foreign curriences from what they should be or by "cornering the market" so that the free market prices are unable to opperate at all. (Selah) And our final thought is "Somethings seem exactly the way they are - - particularly upon first impression". Often a "first impression" gives you insignt on an event you later lose, because you're around it so much you don't notice it, like working in a sewer. (sp?) You rationalize the things you didn't LIKE about the thing out of your mind- - and think you have dealt with the problem. One lie told by James Dobson is "Your feelings will lie to you". But it's Dobson who is the one lying to you. People need to trust themselves. If you met a stranger and sought advice you'd want to know his track record. Who's track record do you know better than your own??

More Questions Are Raised

After three long months, Randi Rhodes is back on the air waves. Her predecessor, as the song says, "Won't be back till fall", that is, if she comes back at all. One topic that has been up front on the agenda is that or torture, and abuse of governmental power by Donald Rumsfeld and the Bush Administration. It would almost seem that perhaps Dick Chaney and Karl Rove personally witnessed the torture of prisoners, perhaps offering suggestions. I find it a little sickening that the Vice President may have witnessed the tortures as his way of "getting off". They had been planning to release two thousand photographs from Abo-grave. But that was a month ago. Now President Obama has done one of his many whoos-outs and reversed himself on this issue citing the usual right wing talking points. It is just another item in a long list of things that fails to inspire confidence in Obama by his base on the left. Of course they had video tapes from Guantanamo, but these were all destroyed. Many don't like the idea of the release of these photos saying they might somehow be used as a recruiting tool by Al Qaeda. But chances are they have their own photographs circulating already. John Mc Cain has been strangely silent about wanting to see the last administration come clean on all the scandals they were involved in. Now it seems Mc Cain's secrecy extends to his run for President. Apparently he told people he had a secret plan to capture Bin Laden. And all you needed to do to find out what it is was to vote for him and put him in the White House. I don't know if withholding needed information is an actionable offence or not, but it sure isn't very patriotic. I couldn't picture Jack Bower making some deal to become President. But of course there are still questions about 9 - 11 that we don't have answers to. Some radio listener came up with the idea of trying Bin Laden in abstentia. Would there be enough evidence to convict him? Randi Rhodes wants to know why NORAD or whatever that outfit's name is, wasn't in the air defending our country. And why were all the air traffic controler communacations destroyed? What is the government trying to hide by that. There have been countless eye witness reports and things that don't jive at all with the official government explanation as to what exactly destroyed the Twin Towers. Some people die under mysterious circumstances, like one man tortured by the Bush Administration in 2002. If the government will lie about how effective torturing prisoners is, and they have, wouldn't they be inclined to lie about other things, like what hit the pentagon. Some people say that by the physical evidence it could not have been a plane. There is a web site called indict Bush now or something that I haven't visited myself but reccomend it. After I do I'll be back on one of our "Black" blogs to report on it, that is if I haven't been tagged for spam in the mean time.

Foods are coming under so much attack these days. Now they've even taking to "dissing" Cheerios. Of course they want us all upset over one thing or another. If it isn't caffein in the coffee it's "manipulated levels" of nicotine in our cigarettes. Now they are going after Resturants who put too much salt in their food. They had a Simpson's episode a week or so ago where Homer Simpson developed diabetus from too many capachino lattes or whatever. That's something else they want us to worry about. Last Saturday at a family gathering I got a headache from the hoursdeours (?) or whatever. (orderves) The shrinp was awful. It was like eating plastic. Another dip tasted for all the world like it had marijuana in it. I ended up getting a headache and feeling a bit mentally fuzzy. Even though there was an open bar- - I was strong. I didn't have one drop of alcohol. I was inclined to blame the preservatives. But others at a smaller gathering later launched into a tyrade about both coffee and sugar, and the topic of my smoking came up. Only one other brother stood up and defended coffee drinking besides me. I think we all know our bodies, and what substances our bodies like and what substance it doesn't. I have never been a fan of "Diet" anything, myself. I don't like the advent of the Nanny state. And personally I would ease regulations of various prescription drugs, so that doctors can spend their time with people who really have something wrong with them and need treatment.

I would like to at this time have another "Jesus Moment". I'd like to talk about the second of the "Four Jesuses" today. As you know, each person contributed something of Jesus' biography. Personally I would like to get to know the Real Jesus. I bet I'd learn a lot about him I didn't know. If you picked four people to do a biography of me, you'd probably get very different reports because I've had a lot of phases in my life. I've grown and changed. One might think that if Jesus was to be our "example" in life then he likewise would have "grown and changed". It's just a thought. Was Jesus a fan of rubic's cubes? Did he prefer tea with meals, or coffee? Stuff like that. The Jesus we get not only from every Gospell but also from every apocraphal book, even ones about his childhood, are surprisingly one-dimensional. The message can be pretty much summarized as "I am God in the flesh, and if you want to escape Hell when you die you'll get down on your knees and make me Lord of your life. And, oh, by the way I do great meracles, too". That's about it. The thing we get with the 'Yeshua" story is a view we don't get from any Christian gospell. First of all his mother had an affair with a Roman centurian, named Pantera. It just so happens that the gospells are fond of Romans and also Roman centurians. We learn from this Hebrew source that Yeshua had five desciples and none of the names were at all similar to any of the desciples we know about. We know Yeshua was a sorceror. He was charged with the crime of sorcery by the authorities. He was given a period of forty days for someone to come forward in his defence, and nobody did, and after forty days he was taken out and stoned to death. End of story. None of the four Jesuses is connected with John the Baptist. It's not all that inconceivable that many scriptures on the End Times were lifted from John the Baptist's teachings, for we know a central feature of John's message was, "The Messiah is coming".

When it comes to all that Math stuff, it's not that I'm so Smart, it's just that I'm a little less Stupid than the average Joe you see walking down the street. In that vein, I would like to share the following information:

I've been trying to resolve this whole "hyperbolic trig function" thing lately. I've been looking for a modas opperandi - - or reason why the whole thing was invented to begin with. (modas opperandi is the wrong word) In trying to solve one mystery I ended up solving another. I finally Prooved the Pathagarian therum to my satisfaction. I'd never been able to do that mentally before. I was looking under "cartesian equations" for something else- - - and I happened to come accross this equation we all learned in algebra, but that I had forgotten about. x squared + y squared = 4. That graphs out to a circle. So in essence this is almost a founding equation of trigonometry. It proves the pathagarian therum. Picture a door opening and closing. The edge of the door traces out a circular ark, and if the hinges would let it go far enough it would inscribe a full circle. We know from the "quadrents progression" (as I talked about in my last blog) you start from the right and start drawing various right triangles so that the apex hits places on the circle. Look at the two Right Angle lines. These are like the X and Y coordenates of the equation. You add the squares of these together. The only other variable is the swinging door, and doors don't change lengths as they are swung. So if the door is always two feet by two feet, the area is always going to be four. (That diagram they include in the geometry books never did make sense to me) And now we move on to hyperbolic trig: The key equation with hyperbolic functions is x squared - y squared = 1. (One) This equation as it were is what turns trigonometry "inside out", which seems to be necessary at times. Like the other trigonometry- - it's all wrapped up in the ninety degree thing. This equation will give you two hyperbolas on each side of the zery Y plane and each one will be bisected by the x plane. From here it's simple. The sine and cosine of hyperbolic math- - analogus to circle math- - is just the X and Y coordenates of each point on the hyperbola, with the ratio being the derived tangent I was twisting my mind trying to come up with "what is a hyperbolic triangle? The ratio between the straight lines of that will still be a tangent. But the hypotenus won't be a real hypotenus. There are all sorts of equations that use hyperbolic math - - and among these are equations used in "magnetic theory" and I looked that up. They use stuff about Maxwell, king of the ether theory - - and those two guys who ran the experiment of the speed of light testing for "ether wind" that Einstein refuted. One thing threw me. They said that a hyperbolic tangent was the key to additive speed of light measurements. As you may or may not know - - the hyperbolic tangent is another of these figures that approaches ONE but never reaches it. But I ran the numbers and the math didn't add up so I went back and read more carefully. What it said was the FORMULA for additive velocities is the same formula as the one used for adding hyperbolic tangents together. So it's kind of like two things that are Done in a Similar Way but are otherwise not related. Here is the formula in question. ( htan A + htan B ) divided by one plus htan A TIMES htan B. That's the formula munus the volicity of light. Einstein already knew this formula before he got started and just applied it to a new area. I consider it perhaps the most important formula of Special Relativity.
