New York governor Andrew Cuomo signed the gay marriage bill into law last night after this bill passed the New York state legislature last night. I never thought the bill would make it. I was kind of hoping this whole gay marriage thing would “wither on the vine” and it would amount to just some passing fad. Now we know this is not to be the case. With a state with New York sanctioning gay marriage it’s no longer of moving to a rural state such as Vermont to participate in your own brand of perversion. The bill passed because four republican legislators jumped sides and switched their votes to “Aye”. I can’t begin to imagine what sort of mental processes they exercised, but perhaps it had something to do with this “Christmas tree” bill they voted for, which we have discussed previously. There are "religious exemptions", which I more or less assumed there would be. Christians don't have to put up with two grooms mincing down the aisle. Also Churches cannot be sued for refusal to marry gay couples. What puzzles me is the provision about "not being denied government aid". I didn't know churches could take aid from the government. The bill takes effect July 24th and same sex couples can hardly wait to tie the knot. I guess I’m happy for them. But I don’t like what it will do to society as traditional values fall. I know there are people who say that same sex marriage they want, with two people who are homo sapiens getting married. They say that now but in the future, who knows? Clearly this is a slap at all forms of traditional culture and religion with values stretching back thousands of years. This is nothing to wink at. What is happening in the here and now is truly momentous to our culture in general.
Addul Kallid, a self radicalized Islamic terrorist was arrested for conspiring to attack a Seattle military instillation on Friday along with another man. Kalid posted his beliefs on You Tube. He used a mixture of modern slogans mixed with quotes from the Koran, “but his tone was more like that of a preacher”. OK. He says that what we need is a jihad, but jihad doesn’t just mean going out and killing a bunch of people. “That’s murder”. He says that the U S is responsible for killing a lot of innocent people. Thom Hartman says that Afghanistan leads the world in number of refugees fleeing, at three million, and this exceeds even Iraq and together both countries comprise about half of all the world’s refugees. Kalid is apparently a prison convert, as so many of these latter day “lone wolves” are. Kalid was in contact with the Fort Hood shooter. Clearly conspirators like these two were what George Bush had in mind when he said in September of 2001 that “we were going to extend out our war on terrorism in many different directions”. Clearly it’s guys like this the Patriot Act was passed to enable the capture of. Apparently these two conspirators tried to recruit a third man who grew suspicious and contacted law enforcement, and then they worked on the case.
Bin Laden worked for the government as a Pakistani secret agent in their equivalent to our CIA, we learned on the News last night. This is unbelievable! This may be a reason why George W Bush didn’t want him taken down because in some perverse sense he was on our side. This may be why the Pakistani government reacted so histelly to our raid on the Bin Laden compound. If any of this is true it has more than profound implications. We know the whole relation between the US and Pakistani governments is shrouded in secrecy and at times “inexplicable” in nature. I have not really been able to get traction on this story on the internet. We’ll just wait and see.
You know, there should be a warning on intelligently written material you actually expect to be understood that says “Idiots Needn’t Apply”. There are a few basic questions I could ask of Dr. Levy to demonstrate that I don’t think he even has a thumbnail understanding of the basic concepts of some of those writings of mine he printed out this morning. There are basic questions a teacher can ask of a student, perhaps sly ones, to indicate to the teacher that the student hasn’t even looked at the material he’s supposed to have read. Unfortunately I think the same holds with Christian history. The other evening as you know I spent a long time tracing down a piece of information I’d been repeating in my writings for five years, to verify it. This pertains to a quazi religious group that started in Egypt and made its way to Rome. According to Tacitus “even now (in AD 109) this group is not extinct”. I’m ingrigued by the phrasing because if it’s Christians as we know then - - they weren’t “going extinct”. If they were growing by leaps and bounds why then didn’t Tacitus say that? If you read a couple postings back you read about an agitator or “instigator of the Jews that was stirring up the crowds” and nobody bothers to check how his name is spelled or whether or not they think it’s In fact there are manuscripts in the middle ages where the "e" has been changed to an "i" for "Christos, just to divert suspicion. But the term on many manuscripts is "Isu Chrestos" rather than "Yeshah Nazarius". Jesus or Christians as we know them the passage is referring to. There are certain “problems”. First of all they are referred to as Jews and not Christians. And next the “instigator’ is referred to as still being alive. We have two problems. Jesus had been dead for twenty years and Jesus never suggested you stir up trouble in society, but to be passive and “turn the other cheek” and “go the second mile” and all of that. Also the charge Tacitus made was not of "trying to convert others". As to the matter of Nero blaming the "Christians" for the fire, Titus states that "The Crestians were a group that was most hated and despized in society". The problem here is that - in the Epistles we are taught to "dwell at peace with all men" and to obey Roman laws, and pay your taxes and all of that. (Sorry, tea party people) As my sixth grade teacher told me "a word to the wise is sufficient".
Now I would like to comment on that eleven year old Aspurger’s Sidrone kid, the eleven year old who confidently asserted that you could go 1.9 times the speed of light. The whole “secret” to Einstein’s “special relativity” if you think about it is “being seen”. If you aren’t seen you don’t exist. Were you to have asked me before today “Where does ether end and hyperspace begin?” I would have said at the speed of light. But alas it’s not quite that simple. (I know, with Einstein it never is) I told you and that kid that for approaching objects the cosmic speed limit was .999999 of the speed of light and for objects going away from each other it was 2.999999. Actually this is true but it’s ONLY true, for instance, for those two approaching objects, and for those two each one need only be traveling 0.500001 the speed of light. OK? Remember what we said about the “event horizon” a couple of postings ago. We said optical star gazers the event horizon was a cone. It's actually just the side walls of the cone and not the space inside. However this "cone" is carried out to every third dimensional contingency, as is the soap bubble model itself. (see previous references) The following bracketed text is no longer relivent or deemed accurate: [ with a curved spherical base with the base and corners connecting at perpendicular angles.] If these objects are going faster- - they will each no longer be in the other’s “event horizon”. I know people say under Einsteins addition of velocities formula this can never happen. I believe this "infinitely shrinking space and speeds phenominon" isn't valid. For me it's straight newtonian math. Einstein believes "the Illusion IS the Reality". I respectfully disagree. The question arises at what point, if Einstein be right, that "matter begins being converted into energy". The big question is that under the "no absolute stationary" doctrine - - there is NO POINT that can be said to be at absolute zero velocity above any other "point". Therefore a point nine tenths the speed of light has JUST AS MUCH credential at calling itself "stationary". Hence one wonders "how long the energy conversion process" is at any given point. That's a real big problem when every point can be redefined as zero. (thanks to Einstein's incredible shrinking space doctrine) From the point of view of the one (space ship traveler), the other is no longer in the Universe. Actually we have seen this phenominon in the laboratory where it was found electrons pass through one another with ease, because they lack materiality. Now when EACH object attains a speed of 186,000 miles per second with respect to the normal stationary objects in the universe they will have “left the universe” or at least “gone hyperbolic” with respect to these stationary objects. Because (optical image) time is reversible you can go up to 2.99999 the speed of light with objects going away from each other- - - first time stops, then goes backwards and hits Normal in reverse- - at which point they see mirror images. This point is at twice the speed of light. They have one more Unit to go before light again approaches unavailability - - this time in perceived optical reverse time and space, but NOT in actual time or space, which remains unchanged. To have something going “your speed” or near it will insure that the other vessel is “in your event horizon”, as you are in theirs. The recriprication doctrine states that however you see them is how they see you. (If more Christians actually believed this, this would be a lot nicer world) To summarize then the “absolute speed limit” of Ether is directly tied to the speeds of other things in your event horizon. So the border of ether and hyperspace is not only speed related (regardless of location) but it also “neighborhood related”. Capish?
