It Looks Like War To Me

There's no reason at all for this particular photo

We're hitting the RESET button on the news and it's early 2007 or something and we are debating the Iraq War all over again.  This is after the tea party had stated in 2009 that it was against foreign adventures and some news commentators were announcing "The era of foreign wars is over".   You know that - - people have said "If America begins making the right decisions in the future, there is hope for the future that we can correct our problems".  One of Glen Beck's "good buddies" said this just today.  It's a great opening topic sentence.  Too bad the guy got an F on the rest of this college essay.  It's a positive thought- - and those of the Joel Olsteen school of "hope springs eternal" would shout a loud "Amen".  But clearly NOTHING is going to be changed.  Not John Boehner's intransigence and not the FOX news propaganda machine, and not racial bigotry or America's love affair with firearms, or this wave of anti environmentalism.   However I might have to make a minor retraction on one thing.  I said in response to a 9 - 11 conspiracy site comentary that "There isn't the slightest chance we would instigate some war with Iran in the Mideast because of some false flag opperation".  You will remember that the opperators of the site said that "We need War because the only cure for our economic problems is more War and more Debt.  The Republicans won't vote money for any constructive purpose, but if it's for gigantic tax breaks for big business, or some sort of War they can't wait to align themselves with those voting an enthusiastic "Aye".   Now just to show how either cheap or lazy I am- - here is someone elses' oppinion on the subject.

People forget the extent to which Democrats, who controlled the U.S. Senate at the time, pushed for and supported the 2003 attack on Iraq.  Remember them or not, theeeey’re back!    The Center for American Progress, the head of whose “action fund,” former Democratic Congressman from Virginia’s Fifth District Tom Perriello, slipped through the revolving door into a State Department job in February, is now pushing for “principled” bombings of Iraq.  Principled or not, the Center for American Progress is funded by Lockheed Martin and other huge war profiteers. C.A.P. has just put out a report recommending that air strikes be considered.  For that to happen, many other things need to not be considered:  

1. The views of the U.S. public, which opposes more wars and some of whom here in the fifth district of Virginia fantasized they’d elected an antiwar candidate in Periello several years back.  2. The views of the Iraqi public, who have been nonviolently and violently protesting an illegitimate government installed by the U.S.-led occupation.  3. The rule of law, which bans wars (under both the U.N. Charter and the Kellogg-Briand Pact) even in places where the U.S. has recently fought wars in blatant violation of the law without any legal consequences.  4. The U.S. Constitution, which required that wars be authorized by Congress even before Article VI came to encompass the aforementioned treaties.  5. The 100-year history of foreign military interference consistently making things worse in Iraq.  6. The 11-year history of foreign military interference making things dramatically worse in Iraq to the point where it is no exaggeration to say that the nation has been destroyed.  7. The record suicide rate among U.S. war veterans, many of whom are realizing the role they played in destroying Iraq.  9. The liberties we keep losing as long as the wars for “freedom” role on.  10. The environmental destruction of our largest consumer of petroleum and greatest poisoner of land masses, the U.S. military.  11. The financial cost of trillion-dollar wars when tens of billions in reparations and actual aid could make a world of difference.  12. The history of small numbers of “advisors” in Vietnam and many other wars mushrooming into devastating occupations and millions of murders.  13. The need people have to imagine that Democrats are fundamentally different from Republicans. Think of the damage being done to that already tenuous pretense.  Spare those tender souls any troubled thoughts if you can’t spare the lives of Iraqis for their own sake.

Today at the Capitol, John Boehner met for a photo opp with his designated pick for new House Majority leader, Kevin Mc Carthy of California, a moderate.  Many tea party members count his election as a loss.  Steve Scalize was picked as the new House Majority whip.   After this I watched all I could stand of President Obama’s droning press conference, with questions after a brief statement.  The thing is if you believe this little deployment of troops and personnel won’t result in ‘Mission Creep’ I’ve got a sink hole in Florida I want to sell you.  Of course it will.  Then I listened to the “all War all the time” contingent of Mitch Mc Conell, John Mc Cain and Lindsey Graham.  It’s like we were living in 2007 all over again.  It’s like all the history of the War since then - - never happened.  John Mc Cain himself issued a statement upon total American troop withdrawal saying “It signifies the victory of the Bush war policy”.  But of course now he wants to deny he said that.  After this I decided to shave before dinner.

Bill Handel was talking about that Brian Stowe fellow who was beaten to a vegetable by Dodger fans at Dodger stadium.   It seems Stowe was more than legal intoxicated having .15% alcohol in his bloodstream.  After eight it was Glen Beck and this Austrailian guy “making ovservations about America”.  Don't you just love these "impartial observers" from other countries with their phoneyed up accents to make them sound half credible or something?   I thought "Well, maybe this is a part of Glen Beck's change of heart", but not so.   Now this guy started off by saying that we are too pessimistic and how it will all work out for us.  The only thing is – everything else out of his mouth was either trashing America or trashing Obama - - or talking about how we’ve lost our “Christian values our nation was founded on”.  His talking points were all right out of the FOX news roster.  Then it was Bill Handel again talking about the Redskins trademark theft by the FTC.  Bill Handel appears in favor of it talking about “changing cultural values”.   Of course this rhetoric is from a guy who never misses an opportunity to bash Latinos on his show.  After nine it was Rush Limbaugh, who made absolutely no sense about anything.  One minute he’s praising Bashei Al Assad, and the next minute he says that it was the United States that orchestrated the deposing of the Shaw of Iran in 1978.  I'm sitting there scratching my head. (?) And Rush made this generalization that "The trouble with Obama is that he gets rid of leaders that are reliable allies of ours- - like Qadafi for instance.  (You're going "huh?") He later went on to allege that President Obama wants to get rid of Meliki in Iraq, when in fact the President explicidly said just the opposite.  I confess I’m completely lost.  The news has gotten so bizarre even I can’t keep track of it.

They have thoroughly flushed the whole issue of Will and Sonny and Gabriel and the baby, from the script.  At least we will be spared Sonny and Will continually making out in public.  It’s like they finally figured out that a soap opera script is not the place for gay advocacy.  Still it’s a little strange that all those people plus ones they never showed like Jessica and Marie, as well as Maggie and Julie- - will also pass away from the daily script outline.  It’s kind of one of these “Plot resets” like they did with September of 2011 when they flushed a lot of old plots down the toilet- - just like the toddler in all these “baby’s first flush” commercials.  They are bringing back Eve Donavin, who turns out to be Page’s mother.  You know, J J’s girlfriend.  Suddenly Jennifer isn’t giving a thought to the horrible argument with Dr Daniel but her thoughts are obsessing on the relation between Frank and Eve, which occurred when they were in high school.  Though if I remember Eve back then was this mousey little prostitute and she had this “romance” with her pimp, named Nick, and they even had a favorite song.  It would be like if we came in on Mom tomorrow and she was obsessing over pictures of Wally Mead.  And as to this stuff with Samantha, I confess I am completely lost- - and I don’t have a clue how Kate fits into all this or some fake scene they staged for E J’s benefit, apparently.

Glen Beck says, "I Was Wrong on Iraq"

Today is June 18, 2014 and you may want to remember this date because it’s the date Glen Beck did his ‘Mia Copa’ last night turning against all of our military adventures in Iraq and Afghanistan, and saying ‘Not one more troop should have to die” and personally I agree.  It must have taken an act of God to work such a turnaround in Glen’s philosophy of life saying that liberals and the tea party can come together on certain issues.  He cites the VA scandal where liberal and conservative can agree.  He seems to be against this Common Core testing stuff.  I’m against any test that lends itself either to cheating or teachers “prepping” students for the exact sort of questions that will be asked.  Education is a lot more than parroting back exactly what some teacher tells you the night before.  It seems the Chicago school system is against this Core testing, but Bill and Melinda Gates are all for it.  A key element in any test- - I don’t care if it’s academic, or a military dril, or some “test” a Mafioso comes up with- - the element is to “be prepared for anything” and the element of surprise is key.  You don’t tell restaurants that they are going to be inspected by the health department the following day so they can get all the cockroaches out of sight.  Glen seems genuinely disturbed by the divisiveness in this country he frankly admits has never been worse.  There is an element of strife and hate we haven’t witnessed in a long time.  Glen agreed with President Obama in his 2008 campaign saying that President Bush left us divided in dispirited.  At first I was wondering whether perhaps Glen would retract what he said.  It was a fifteen minute speech and much of the early part of the speech covered things other than the current Iraq crisis.  I have always regarded Glen Beck as somehow more “earnest’ or perhaps “spiritual” than either Limbaugh or Hannity or certainly Dick Chaney or Grover Norquist and that whole gang.   Over the past six or seven years or however long- - I have been a lot less critical of Glen Beck than I have been of Hannity or Limbaugh.  While the video is still up- - I suggest that all of my readers Google it immediately.

I need to come out ardenly against this ruling of the Federal Trade commission issuing a ruling nulling the Washington Redskin’s trademark.  What the FTC did is patently wrong and immoral.  The Washington team OWNS that trademark,  and the government has no right to just come out and take it by force.  And as Rush Limbaugh aptly puts it “They are doing it less out of any racial sensitivity, but more as an out and out power play and throwing their weight around, and – just to prove they can”.   This is what I was talking about yesterday.  With the trademark logo and all that goes with it gone- - now every Tom Tick and Harry can open his own “Redskins BBQ Spare Ribs” or “Redskins Gym” or whatever.  In other words what the government claims they don’t want will be the very thing that happens.  The court overruled the FTC once before in 1999 and they will do it again, but the team owners shouldn’t be subjected to this high handed “bullying” by government, and have to go through all this nonsense.

I had Thom Hartman on this afternoon and clearly the Arabs as a people are the most culpable of any race on the face of the earth when it comes to enslaving other races.  A lot of our own slaves in this country came from Arab slave traders to the north.  Now they are doing it in Sudan and other places.  They will kidnap whole groups of people and enslave them, and perhaps ravage their women- - and then maybe they’ll dump the old or the disabeled slaves no longer functional off at the border and leave them to fend for themselves in the desert.  One thirteen year old boy was blinded by cyanne pepper in his eyes- - and apparently is now being adopted by an American.  Thom wants to make it clear that low wage workers should never be said to be “slaves” because that cheapens the word.  Even Jehovah God himself is culpable in the Bible because there are any number of provisions made there for slavery, as though it were a perfectly normal part of society.   On the other hand we need to stop any more of these trade agreements like NAFTA CAPTA and now SHAFTA, as Hartman puts it.  This would be the South Half of Asia Free Trade Agreement.  Because everything the Neo Cons do is to further low labor wages and work people to death without any hope.  We should come down hard on employers who hire illegal aliens in this country.   People like Sean Hannity are tone deaf on this issue- - and in general the way so many Americans have been adversely impacted by the shadow of the crash of 2008 we still have to live with.  In fact I was so personally offended by one interaction with a caller by Sean Hannity, I’m not going to watch that show any more.  Don’t ask me to explain that, or we’d be here all day.  Let’s just say that what Sean said to this one caller personally offended me more than all of the remarks Ted Nugent has made publically in the past three years.

Thom Hartman reminds us that “the system” is giving all of us a royal screwing over every day.  You see it in these drug companies with their virtual lifetime patents, which Thom Hartman calls “welfare for the rich” worse than all of the oil and military subsedies we pay out annually”.   Think about it.  A drug company tweaks one molecule in a drug compound- - and they get a fourteen year extension on their patent.  Or some big corporate giant buys out a young inventor before he can get his product off the ground by psyching it out.  Then they take HIS idea and patent it, so he doesn’t even have the rights to his own discovery.  Thomas Jefferson proposed a three year patent limit.  I would make it seven myself, with no extensions.  This would give a business time to get their new product off the ground with money for development and marketing- - and once the money began rolling in - - then the patent would run out.  I would also pass a law, assuming one doesn’t already exist- - that if a company so chooses, they may have tax income averaging for like a seven year period- - so if they begin suddenly making a lot of money as reward for their hard work, they can average in the fat years in with all the lean years they suffered through where the income wasn’t coming in, and of course this would include any deductable losses on the balance sheet during that time.  The thing that Thomas Jefferson believed was that long term patents discourage innovativeness and new inventions.  Sir Isaac Newton wisely remarked ‘If I have seen farther than any other man, it’s only because I have stood on the shoulders of Giants”.  Thom Hartman echoed this theme today when he said that “Almost any invention (with a few exceptions) are somehow some way an improvement upon a previous invention.  You can’t re-invent the wheel or the wedge or the pulley.   This idea of “resting on your laurals” or even the whole idea of “old money” of a dynastic nature, is historically un American to begin with and it’s pointed out that none of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, were millionaires, even in today’s money.   But also “The man” can steal from you in other ways like deciding which books get “deep sixed” and never see again the light of day, kind of like Gabriel Hernandez on Days of our Lives.  (What the writers did to her character is a moral abomination)   There are five books in particular that were “Deep Sixed” that some organization now wants to bring back.  There is a book on how hard it is for women to get legal abortions in the south now.  I am less troubled by this than just puzzled.  After all I thought Roe verses Wade gave women the “right” to a safe and legal abortion.  Now in southern states they are denied this basic “right” established by the Burger Court, and I don’t see how these governmental powers can get away with it.   There is one book on Organized Crime in the NFL and how pervasive it is.  There is another book on the Nazi influence after World War II in the creation of the CIA.  That one is called “Blowback” it says here.    There is another called the Phoenix Program involving CIA activities during the Viet Nam war.   Then there is “Lords of Creation” a book that came out in 1935 about the Robber – Barrons.   A book can be killed by an unfavorable review in the New York Times, even if it’s based on distorted and just wrong information.  Books that were best sellers and were slated to go into paperback, suddenly get deep sixed and were never heard from again.  (Selah)

If this Amazon phone thing catches on- - it will spur others into making inovations.  And I'm for anything that takes a "bite out of the Apple".   They claim they have 3 D images that don't require special glasses.  Amazon says they also hope to appeal to people, and there are many of them, that don't own an I phone.   So, let's wish them luck.

Last night I was researching two items that may be connected.  One was on dark matter- - which is in the heavens of course.   Just so you know - - these are not just stars that aren’t very bright so we can’t see them.  This stuff isn’t even matter as we know it, because it isn’t made out of baryons, which all of our matter is.  This dark matter neither reflects light or is able to absorb light but can be said to be “insensable’ to light, not reacting with it in any way, yet it is the majority of matter in the Universe- - along with dark energy, which I didn’t even look up.   There were questions about how large, spinning spiral galaxies are able to hang together since Newtonian laws state that the stars on the outer edges should not be able to “Keep up”, but they do.  I have my own theory about it.  But dark matter was “invented” partially to explain this and other anomalies in mass gravimetric readings.   Many religious theories I see, such as Jesus’ frequent references in his parables of being “banished to the outer darkness”.   People naturally are just intrigued by “invisible matter”.     The other topic I researched was this horrible “Plague of the Third Century” that threw the body into torment with vomiting and diaria- - and your eyes feel like they’re on fire, and death from this disease is a horrific experience- - and they buried the bodies in quickline after they died- - or perhaps even before they died.  There is this Roman Emperor - - Claudius II, who lived around AD 270 that died from this horrible disease.  People in Egypt got this disease and feared that it was the “End of the World” and maybe this is why the population of Christians exploded during this time and the subsequent Diocletian.  They were all so willing to die because they feared if they disobeyed God he would put this disease on them.  During the third century, the Roman Empire almost fell apart and split into three parts.  There was the area of Syria and eastern Turkey, and there was Gaul, and there were the portions of the Empire strattling the Medeteranian.   So this may be another reason why Christianity grew during this period because “Things were falling apart politically” in sort of an early day Glen Beck scenario.   Many are wondering whether “Romulan cloaking” might be involved with this Dark Matter, but as you know- - cloaked matter lets light and gravity in, but doesn’t let any light out- - and exhibits no mass either.   What we call baryons, the Romulans refer to as Hadrons,  and what they call Baryons - - is some combination of quarks, but they won’t tell us what.  I’m lot going to let myself off that easy.

That Little Old War Monger - Sean Hannity

Well now Sean Hannity is taking us on a blast to the past of the bad old days of the height of the Iraq War.  Fourteen percent of Americans say that they would be open to sending US troops back to Iraq.  As it turns out President Obama is sending in a few hundred to guard the US Embassy, that elaborate complex of buildings the US invested so much money in building.  People talk as if the United States designed this building complex right in the heart of Baghdad as if we intended to remain there fifty years to protect "our oil" I guess.. So, I guess that's how it starts.  We send in troops to protect the Embassy, and then we send in other troops to protect those troops and it builds from there.  I never new Tony Orlando was such a war monger.  I thought 'Tie A Yellow Ribbon" was just a song that could be about anything you wanted it to be about.  But you know what else yellow ribbons are used for, Police Crime Scene tape.  They rope off an area as a sign to civilians "This is a crime scene, stay away".  But Sean and Tony don't have the good sense to come on a war scene and stay the hell out of it.  Tony Orlando went so far as to play the Armageddon card and start talking about the Bible and World War III and scenarios I was flirting with in the mid seventies, till I came to my senses.  I guess a number of civilians were shot execution style in a ditch in Iraq just the past 24 hours or something.  Sean and Tony don't have the balls to go into the theater of battle themselves however.  Why don't they and Ted Nugent and Cliven Bundy and anybody else who has a trigger finger and repressed sexual urges- - to just go on over to Iraq and have at it!  We'll see how brave they are then.  Just like when George Bush left his post in Texas where his unit was station and he went off on a months long drinking spree in Alabama, and nobody had the nerve to bring it up in any campaign.  Of course I'm waiting with baited breath to see how Sean answers one caller who said "Either we should go and prepare to stay there thirty years or longer in a major "nation building' crusade, or else we should pack up our things and go home and take care of our own problems".  Sean's answer is that "Well since our own borders aren't even secure thanks to Obama, we know we need to be worried about this "staging area" in Iraq now for terrorism to be planned for attacks on this country".   He also mentioned something about drilling for more oil here on a massive basis.  Sean and Tony Orlando were saying that Benjuamin Netenyahoo is the only "World Leader" now that will stand up to terrorism.  And Sean had other little news item to darken our day.  There is the President of Nigeria saying that those school girls will probably never be found.  Then there are 48 people killed in Kenya by an Islamist terrorist group.  Then there are eleven men who had their fingers cut off by the Talliban for voting the wrong way, to keep them from showing their "purple finger".  The question is how much if any of this will show up in the evening news.  I thought if we learned one thing late last summer was that the American people DO NOT want to go to war- - ANY war- - and the Republican Congress went along with the wishes of the American people.  Are Sean Hannity and Tony Orlando saying that the American congress voted wrong?  Just what is Col Hannity's war strategy.  Does Sean have any sort of battle plans or is he just making with the mouth on nation-wide radio?

Bill Carol or whoever on KFI was saying that now there is proof that the IRS scandal involving "targeting" the tea party is a real scandal.  It seems that EVERY E mail from or to Louise Fletcher or whatever her name is- - is now mysteriously missing- - deleted.  And according to Carol, not even the most skilled computer hacks are able to retrieve these deleted files.  And also we are informed that President Obama today is releasing twelve more Islamic prisoners from Guantanamo.  That one is bad politics and a little "tone deaf" as far as to how it will play with the public at this time.  But before I leap to any wild conclusions I would like background material on these twelve.  Finally Sean Hannity was talking about how the Obama administration now after two years has finally arrested the ring leader of the Bengazi attacks on 9 - 11 -2012.  But strangely, according to Hannity, this guy was never in hiding and reporters from all over the country and all over the world have been granted hours long interviews with this terrorist ring leader.  Here again I confess to not being up to speed on this one as to just exactly why the Obama administration knew about this ring leader and he was definitely the one they've been looking for, yet concealed it from the American public for two years.  This whole thing has shades of Nicole Walker all over it.  (never mind the inside reference)  But apparently though this ring leader was in plain sight he had to be "captured" by our Special Forces, brave fighting men.  So all this news in this paragraph and the last one, has broken in the past few hours.  And of course we hear also that fighting has actually broken out in Baghdad itself with the ISIS group.  So it would seem as if Iran didn't arrive in time to prevent hostilities from spreading into the Iraqi capital itself.  Of course Sean Hannity says we can't trust Iran to do our job for us.  My response is "They're already there and we aren't, so maybe we had just better thank heaven for small favors.  But it's like Hartman says.  For these people on the right end of the political spectrum, it's "All war all the time" when these people are in perfect bliss.  It's kind of like a sugar high I guess, only it's a hell of a lot more expensive to maintain, at the cost of the lives of US Armed Forces, and countless of the enemy.

 Last night I watched the Judy video up to the 35 minute mark, and I must say Judy did a pretty good of summarizing the points this guy in the video made.  I have a pretty good grasp of where this guy is at.  But I suspect that just maybe this guy is over simplifying things a bit by saying “These cells that grow and multiply only have a fix amount of time in which to do it, and if time runs out the cells remain for life in whatever incomplete state they were in.  He kept speaking of the methyl molecule, and the name for it is methane- - .  But he spoke of it as some magic catalyst that enables everything to happen.  I just have trouble buying into the notion that you can literally alter your DNA by nutrition, and pass on the beneficial or harmful results of your own activated DNA to the next generation.  So forget what you learned in ninth grade biology- - genes aren't permanent but according to this guy are in a continual state of flux depending on what you ate last night.

Before this it was all about the drug “Molly”, which is supposedly MDMA or ecstasy, but these days you could find almost anything in it.   I’ll keep that in mind at my next party.  It's in the nature of the youth to not check anything out but just dive in head first into whatever kind of party drug your best friend (who you just met ten minutes ago) offers you.  Nobody knows what kind of shit is in that drug you're taking.  It could be MDMA but it could also be something like Methadone, or perhaps animal tranqualizer (angel dust?) or perhaps some hallucinogen.  For some people in their late teens, the more dangerous, the better.  I would just advise young people that - whether you want to believe it or not- - your frontal lobes aren't fully developed yet and won't be fully till your mid twenties- - and that your judgement is severely in question.  We had Polish sausage for dinner with generous sour krout and peppers, and the sliced potatoes were good.  I had seconds but they were out of potatoes.  We had two chocolate chip cookies for desert. 

I had Stephanie Miller on before breakfast and have her on now.  I was in much better spirits this morning than I was either yesterday or Sunday.  We had a good breakfast.  I got a double plate, and I don’t know if that was by accident or design but I benefited from it.  All three pieces of toast were eaten dry.  So I had two fried eggs and two hashed browns with catsup swizzle.  We had oatmeal in a bowl filled to the brim.   Stephanie now is wondering why all of the networks had Republicans on who were all for the Iraq war to begin with, and not have one person seemingly, that warned of “This is the very sort of thing we feared happening if we had this war”.   Why weren’t those people invited on any of these shows?  It’s almost as if progressives are “not allowed to be right” by the media, even when they are.  (Selah)Mc Cain is really crying in his beer over the loss of Iraq.  Mc Cain beat Romney in the 2008 primary over the War issue, because Romney was saying then (and they played a speech from Dec 2007) to the effect that we needed to develop some plan for withdrawal from Iraq.  That was the death knell of his campaign.  But George Bush 41 is still active at his age and jumped out of an airplane on his birthday.  

It's time to talk about the dimensions of "Things" and by things, we mean at least hypothetically possible things.  There are other things - - like a way to reconcile all Scripture in the Bible to one unified meaning, or some way to make all professing "Believers" happy with the results in Heaven.  It dawned on me that when a Christian or the Church demands (rather than just asks) something from you, it's not because he had a use for what you have.  It's NOT a question of your Giving anything of or from yourself to Him or The Church.  After all to these people you're pretty Worthless anyhow.  They don't really WANT in most cases anything you have or any tallent you have.  They likely will even "look down on someone like you in your economic status".  So why then?  In their minds (and the thought just hit me today) their goal is rather what they can Take from you just for the Sport of it, to prove they CAN.  It's like when they want you to confess Jesus as Lord,  they don't CARE whether or not it's a salvation that "takes" for you but rather that they GOT you to DO it, is all that matters to them.. (selah)  To reconsile all of the moral teachings of the Bible into one unified seamless fabric- - is impossible.  Certain things mental patients claim to be real, are not even Hypothetically possible, if you break down the logical consequences of the things they are specifying (saying).  So we now move on to "Things" that you and I deal with every day, and we have said that physical "Things' come in four aspects.  First is your awareness of them.  Another aspect of "Things" would be their function, or some might just call it theirs or anyone's "Destiny".  This cannot be varied from.  When you think about it it is as Impossible to change our destiny while living in this Universe- - as for a computer to suddenly "decide" it doesn't like how it's been programmed and "Will itself' to follow a different program.  And Revelations reminds us that our program and that of the Cosmos itself- - was "programmed in" as the Bible says "Before the foundation of the earth.  Do you now see the absurdity of the idea of God being some being whom you can "get to like you" if somehow you can just "prove to him that you're really a good guy".   Things also have Form.  Form could be called the "instruction code for building the object" that requires an Intelligence of design.  The mere concept of a Form entails the concept of a plan or structure- - or some sort of deduced thought process.  We move on to gravity and mass, or the fourth aspect of Things.  Some may ask "Does mass change depending on how close to the speed of light it is traveling at?"  Let me answer that by this reply.  The question is NOT - - is one object "faster" or "closer to the speed of light' than another.  Put out of your Mind the concept that- - there is ANY distinction between Your point of view and the Object's point of view.  BOTH are Just as VALID.  Sorry, you absolutists, that's just the way it is.  As such it is an absurdity to say if this object is - - OK from a moral standpoint it would be ludicris to say that object A was "better" than object B.  People like Sean Hannity will never accept this.  I doubt they can.  They haven't the mental grasp.  So that object that you see moving either Tword you or Away from you (this is the key) can be said or "observed" to be of a higher or lower mass, but "Observing don't make it so".  All you need do is to Match the Speed of the other object and both measurements will be identical.  This will put an end to all argument.  And normally would not even endeavor to measure a moving object anyhow.  If you match the speed of the other object- - there is no problem.  No shrunken or increased mass- - no nothing.  As such how do you ever "Prove" that the two objects were ever different?  (Selah)

Before we do anything else I want to talk about this pathological notion that the Republicans are at all “Conservative’ in the sense of  “conventional” or “normal” and “stable” or any other term that would come to mind when one thinks of conservative.   Thom Hartman is talking about the deboccle in Iraq right now and most view it is a true tragedy.  It most certainly is for anyone in the Orama-bush administration, which is basically one seamless fabric – and a statement from Obama about the war in 2011 is basically as though someone from the Bush administration who could just as easily have said it.  The fact is that as Romney and Lindsey Graham point out we needed a “status of forces agreement” and didn’t have it, and we never leave our armed forces in nations that don’t have it.  Graham also points out that Meliki himself is a real screw-up and didn’t really follow through with our implied agreement that he would be President of ALL the people in Iraq, and not just Shiites.  I do not relish the idea that “Oh this is just what liberals were saying before the war ever started in 2002.”    I had no idea in 2002 anything vaguely like this would happen, especially, since Thom Hartman points out “There was no Al Qaeda in Iraq before the war started”.  There was a story about one Al Qaeda member having lunch in Bagdad, which turned out to be false.  Then we were told it was Operation Iraqi Liberation, which someone pointed out spelled “O I L” so they had to change it.  Then it was we were pursuing “Freedom” in Iraq and the words “Freedom” and “Liberty” punctuated President Bush’s speeches back then.  One reason why I voted for Bush in 2004 is because elections in Iraq were already scheduled to happen.  It is not my contention that we Democrats “Wanted President Bush to fail” in 2001 as Rush Limbaugh alleges, because Bush was such a complete nothing for the first several months in office, nobody even thought that much about politics then.  I didn’t; I had too many problems of my own with alcoholism in those months.  But then it is the fact that Obama is Black- - that is a major driving force of hatred and animus with the Republicans.   But as Vince Bugliosi said in a book “George Bush and Dick Chaney ought to be brought up on War Crimes charges”.   And Vince is not one noted for “conspiracy theories”.  My one observation about Vincent Bugliosi is that he over-glammorized Charles Manson as this mystic who followed the Beatles or something, when actually he was a murderous sociopathic thug, who probably should never have been let out of prison in 1967 to begin with.  Ronald Reagan funded both Iraq overtly and Iran secretly in that eight year drawn out war between the two of them that resulted in the deaths of millions.  How do we do that as a nation and NOT deserve the designation of a blood thirsty War loving nation, funding both sides of such a violent conflict involving the gassing of civilians.  Then you have the head of the Talliban offering to turn over Bin Laden to be tried by a neutral country in 2001 after the 9 – 11 attacks, and President Bush declined the offer.  He’d rather start two wars- each of which went on for another ten years.  Again over a million innocent people died not to mention thousands of our servicemen.  And as that caller said, if we were at all objective and “unbiased” we would be holding hearings on the events of 9 – 11 as they unfolded step by step.  God himself in the Bible is morally revolted by people whose continual desire is for strife and conflict, and War, as Bush and Chaney are.  And yet if you tell this to the Republicans they will put their hands on their ears and shout “I can’t hear you!”.  Of course there is such a wall between people now that even relatives can’t talk to each other about these things at holiday gathering in a civil manner.

Counterfeiting is something you do which indeed throws into question the value of “the real thing” but I fail to see how the analogy fits with gay verses straight marriage.  The simple reason why it does not work - - is that counterfeiters try and make their product identical to the real thing, whereas in gay marriage there is no vague attempt to make a gay marriage look “straight’ and hence there can be no possible confusion between the two.  So the gay marriage would be like 'play money' at best.  Nobody is “accidently” going to fall in love with the same sex and get married, as one would accidently pick up a counterfeit twenty dollar bill.  Actually there is a dark part of me (and I’d never admit this to my Christian friends) that rather relishes the idea of gay marriage.  Because I believe marriage as an institution itself is hypocritical and is probably used to subjugate women- - and also an attack on marriage in general weakens the Church, which has been an oppressor of yours truly, so anything that weakens the church- - such as a weakened institution of marriage, I have mixed feelings about.  The “angels of my better nature” says ‘marriage is a good thing that keeps society from falling apart”.   And this is how I would vote as a politician- to keep marriage as what it’s always been, a contract between a man and a woman.  Certainly other things have “brought down” the institution of marriage including the number of divorces both celebreties, and politicians- - even Christian politicians have.  But alas the "better angels of our nature" cause many of us to "take that step you've been thinking about" and "trying to make a go of it".  But in the course of time it becomes evident evident that the thing just isn't going to work.  By the way I think Thom Hartman should know that is I have never bought in to, or argued for the theory of "Homosexuality is a choice".  To be frank, if push came to shove I'd say "I don't have an answer" to the homosexual problem.  But according to Thom (and he's pretty darned cleaver to come up with this argument) if "Homosexuality is a choice" for you, then obviously you're a bi-sexual, since you could be happy with either sex.  In like manner for Neil Savedra to say that "A decision for Christ" is a choice, is to presuppose that there are no "prior events" influencing your decision like your personality or the way you were brought up or whatever and God is just kind of standing there just waiting to see what you'll do without the vaguest preconception what your choice will be in advance.  An argument of this nature is to throw St Paul in the trash can, obviously.  It's kind of like saying that the victim of a mugging has a "choice" whether to hand over his wallet and watch with a gun to his head.  What I find most offensive of all is what the Catholic Church does is disallowing a divorce but allowing “annulments”.  What this does is to profoundly disempower women, who after a twenty year marriage it’s as though it never happened and now her best years are behind her- - but the man is free as a bird without a financial care.  I’ve always hated these people who act as if their first wives or first marriage “never happened” like that person never existed.  And if you are a Kennedy you can have all the abortions you want and still be a Catholic in good standing, but the average perishoner has to be pure as the driven snow”.

 The San Antonio Spurs won their fifth NBA championship last night.  The years they won were 1999, 2003, 2005, 2007 and 20014.   The only game Miami won was in SA the night they got the air conditioning fixed.  The Miami Heat lost by 19 and 20 points in their two home games, and last night San Antonio and looked invincible, as Ricardo noted when I got my meds.  Of course they had the team trophy and the MVP trophy.  That was a really young fellow.  And they interviewed Tim Duncan, who apparently started in finals in three different decades.  Crowds in both stadiums get an A for team spirit.  Miami has been in the finals the last four years in a row and won two out of four of the matches.  They won last year apparently against the Spurs (my memory isn’t clear) and so 2012 and 2013 were back wins.  The season coming to a conclusion on a Sunday night and on Father’s Day probably made for good ratings.  After this I watched a Simpson’s rerun about the art plagurist who makes the interesting point of “Did you like this painting because you thought it was worth a lot, or because it brought you joy?” and then it was two “Family Guy” episodes. 

Casey Cason died yesterday making his “final exit”.  This as you know was the name of some pro medically assisted suicide book.  It seems that Carrie Cason won control of her father and wanted his hydration and food cut off and they went into “death mode”.  Can anyone say “Death Pannels”.   Such conduct by hospitals ought to be forbidden in my book.  Jean Cason his wife said that “Casey would never want to be starved to death in this manner” but when I heard this grim news (which frankly upset me more than the final outcome) I pretty much knew that the end was year and that he “would not be hanging on for months’ as I heard someone around here state.  We come to the cosmic side of things and it was one morning late last week when I got the heads up – Cason would end up with the Romulans – with all of those congegations of the word “Salir”, which of course has as its root “making an exit” or an escape, or meaning “to get out of” from the viewpoint of the subject.  And as you know in the anals of Rock - - people have a way of ending up in different places cosmically than they spent their carrier.  It happened with Ricky Nelson,  and it happened with either Lieber or Stroler (?) whichever died - - and it happened with Clarence Clemens – the signature saxophone player for the E Street band, who the Federation bagged from his former planet (“he’s the guy who asked all the questions”) – and most notably it’s true for Dennis Wilson and Kurt Cobain- - whom the Romulans acquired.  In Denis’ case it because he was kicked out of his previous group  - - and in Kurt’s case- - and more information was made public just last week about what was going through Kurt’s mind leading up to his suicide.  It was a good strategic move him and worked out rather well for him.  Indeed Kurt was indeed one of the few “born again experiences” where he was able to leave all his “problems” behind.  It’s a good trick - - if you’re lucky enough to pull it off.

On a personal note I'm having computer disk problems.  This computer has crashed twice this morning and the first time coming back on I got the "blue screen of death" with Windows making dire warnings about a hard drive going bad and checking my files.  I don't know how long I'll continue to be able to use this computer at all, but this sort of expense I didn't need.  The Kings victory parade is today in downtown Los Angeles.  This means that for about the sixth time in the past eight days- Days of our Lives will not be on.  The plot was dead in the water anyhow.  It's either that dumb hold up guy in a house, or the French Open or Masters Golf and now a parade.  This computer just crashed a third time while writing this.  I guess I better not press my luck any further.

This is five in the afternoon and the computer seems to be working OK now.  John Lennon proposed the theory last week that Paul did the drumming on 'Me and My Monkey" because according to John "All of the drumming is deceptively easy- - and all the rhythm is in other instruments".   John also said my contribution to Abbey Road was limited to the compositions of "I Want You" and "Come Together".   But that "most of those compositions on side two are out of a confused haze anyhow".

These Republicans Eat Their Own!

One reference I apparently haven’t made is this idea that Sean Hannity likes to put words in people’s mouth to match his own beliefs.   Today I was watching an interview between Chris Matthews and Newt Gingrich and my warning is to look out who you get that Judas kiss from.  Chris Matthews needs to shut up a little and let Newt Gingrich talk, and explain himself instead of putting words in his mouth.  For instance Newt said that Obama has taken even more money from Wall Street bankers than most candidates, and Chris didn’t want to hear that.   Chris like what Newt said in the Florida primary about how Romney is one of these vulture capitalists and all that loots companies.  And Newt went on to talk about all of Mitt Romney’s off shore money in the Camen Islands.  But Newt then said “The trouble is with what I did that it didn’t work, and I know it wouldn’t work in a general election against Romney” but Newt was never allowed to elaborate because Chris Matthews hushed him up.   Then there was the whole thing with Christie dancing on the Jimmy Kimbell show or whatever and Matthews has this crazy desire to see Governor Christie run for President in two years.  All of us should hope and pray that never happens, because if you think Romney is bad, Christie is Romney on steroids.  He screwed Romney over in his convention speech, and later when he made a little “too nice” with President Obama and kind of said for Governor Romney to take a hike.  And Randy Rhodes claims this was part of a big political deal that nobody from the media, even Christie it seems, has the balls to investigate and go after.

I had Chris Matthews Hardball on this morning and they spent the major part of the show talking about the crisis in Iraq.  Although with their new format these past couple of months, I’m less sure whether they present all the segments of a program before going on to the previous night.   I’ve heard from a couple of places that Joe Byden has stated that we need to patrician Iraq up into its three native components, namely the Kurds, to the northeast, and this Isis party can have the west, all the way to the Jordan border, and the Shiites can have the southeast.   I propose an in place cease fire.  All the troops stop advancing and remain right where they are now- - just on the outskirts of Bagdad.  But what we really need is for these Gulf States in particular to secede from this country.  This would solve a whole lot of problems.  I believe that flag I did back in 2005 when people were talking about red state “Jesus Land” could still be our guide.  I propose that the five Gulf of Mexico states secede, namely Texas, Louisians,  Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida.    And these would be joined by Oklahoma, Georgia, and South Carolina.   We could start with these eight.  We would have 42 states and they would have eight.  They could conduct a business showing off their Civil War sites.  You have Ft Sumpter- - where the War started- - and Vicksburg, where they lost, and New Orleans, which they lost, and Atlanta, where they lost badly.   And then you’d have Stone Mountain and Montgomery and Natches ante-bellem mansions - - to show off.   It would solve this gridlock in government problem.  Because the rest of us would have a democratic House and Senate for the foreseeable future.  And they would still have to contend with all of these Latinos coming in and contaminating with their liberalism (as Hannity puts it) places like south Florida, and Texas.   We could go for a while with just these eight states for kind of a five year trial period, and see if we wanted to let them expand to more states after that date of 2020 or so.  The idea has a lot of positives.

Leo says that even for “automated houses” now you don’t need wiring any more because turning off and on appliances can be accomplished by Wi Fi.   And if you are going to use wiring- don’t use fiber optics because that’s too expensive.  Don’t use Cat-Five, use Cat-Six that’s out now.  Leo has pretty much decided he likes Windows 8.1 since it’s a major improvement over 8.0.  But he says the next windows tentatively will be called Threshhold, and it will be a full return to the desktop mode, and they are bringing back the Start Menu.  Leo says the BOSE is way over-priced, and for a quarter of the price you can get a pretty good Pioneer “Sound Bar” with six speakers, that give you good directionality.  All you need to add to that is a sub whoofer.   And these Sound Bars are wireless.  Leo implied that to get Satellite Internet you really need a dish.  So that when these people just get it on their cell phones, I take it they are wither working from a Wi Fi hot spot- - or else getting it from a microwave tower at maybe 5.8 gigs or something.  So why do I get the feeling Dr Levy won’t give me a straight answer if I ask him.  Of course L:eo reminds us that wireless internet is still way slow, and is unusable for something like NETFLIX.    It seems that Netflix and Vorizon are blaming each other for slow downloads but it’s really Vorizon’s fault.  But now Leo Laporte seems to be back-peddeling on his longstanding position against a preferencial internet.  Leo reminds us that Google pays up and all of Vorizon’s other providers pay up and get upgraded service so I guess Netflix might as well do the same thing.  But if the case were to come to trial I’ll bet you dollars to donuts that getting a jury verdict against Vorizon would be a slam dunk.  Because the common people still don’t like big corporations screwing us over.

These crazy Republicans eat their own!  I was watching Ed Schultz last night apart from the earlier brief outing.   There was this Lewis Gomer of Texas who is a house member who is a whack job of the first order.  He was grilling this Preacher guy, who believes in Christian love and tollarance and all this stuff Gomer can’t stand.  Gomer was like this Mc Carthy guy really hammering it home for the preacher to come out and say that anyone who doesn’t accept Christ before they die is going to hell.   The Preacher says “You may go to Hell for other things, but not that.  And besides Hell isn’t necessarily what you think it is, anyway”.    The one scripture they love- - and screw the rest of the Four Gospels- - is the one where Jesus is quoted as saying “No man comes to the Father but by me and he who comes before or after me is a thief and a robber”.    And then you have Ted Nugent.  Ted Nugent has completely lost his mind!  Now he’s coming out and attacking Eric Cantor- - and this is AFTER he lost.  But he does this in a most hysterical convolution of terms talking about Jewish conspiracies and Herman Goebles and Sol Allinski and the socialist agenda all in one breath.  And everything he said was so obscenity laden he had to be continually bleeped.   And he would say things like “How DARE you call me mean spirited- - why I’m one of the nicest guys you’d ever want to meet” and meanwhile he’s kind of rising out of his chair and raising a shoulder like he’s preparing to belt somebody in the mouth.  Ted Nugent also has a credibility problem because two years ago when he went off on Obama to begin with, he stated that “If President Obama gets reelected, I’ll either be dead or no longer living in the United States” and yet he’s still here.  I don’t know what country would even accept him at this point- - maybe somewhere like Honduras.   And also (not that it matters at this point) the NRA that Ted is so tied to – endorsed Cantor.  Ted Nugent has no soul left.  He has lost his cosmic identity.  Who can say just when that happens?  Bur during last night’s hockey game in the first overtime, Mal Evans contacted me and said his home race had voted to certify that he’d lost his Soul, basically.   Just the insanity of going after an ultra conservative like Cantor and calling him those names- - because going after Black people is one thing but going after a Jew is quite another.  Because then you’ve got their God coming after you.   Like I say- - what’s left of Ted’s mind is totally Gone - - now.

The LA Kings won the Stanley Cup last night 3 to 2 beating the Rangers scoring close to the end of the second overtime at almost nine thirty out time.   I had turned to KNBC expecting to watch Dateline, because I had lost all hope NBC would show any more games.  There they were at the end of regulation tied two to two.  They played one round- - and somewhere in there I dozed off during the entire break between rounds one and two of Overtime- - and roused during the second OT round.   They had the MVP trophy and then the Stanley Cup presentation.  So now the only “winter sport” left is basketball and that could come to an abrupt end tomorrow night as the Miami Heat finds themselves in a similar situation faced by the NY Rangers down three games to one.

Limbaugh: I Hope Obama Fails

The Historical Speech You’ve Heard About

January 16, 2009

The Final Paragraph (in purple font) is Really Strange - -

RUSH: I got a request here from a major American print publication. "Dear Rush: For the Obama [Immaculate] Inauguration we are asking a handful of very prominent politicians, statesmen, scholars, businessmen, commentators, and economists to write 400 words on their hope for the Obama presidency. We would love to include you. If you could send us 400 words on your hope for the Obama presidency, we need it by Monday night, that would be ideal." Now, we're caught in this trap again. The premise is, what is your "hope." My hope, and please understand me when I say this. I disagree fervently with the people on our side of the aisle who have caved and who say, "Well, I hope he succeeds. We've got to give him a chance." Why? They didn't give Bush a chance in 2000. Before he was inaugurated the search-and-destroy mission had begun. I'm not talking about search-and-destroy, but I've been listening to Barack Obama for a year-and-a-half. I know what his politics are. I know what his plans are, as he has stated them. I don't want them to succeed.

If I wanted Obama to succeed, I'd be happy the Republicans have laid down. And I would be encouraging Republicans to lay down and support him. Look, what he's talking about is the absorption of as much of the private sector by the US government as possible, from the banking business, to the mortgage industry, the automobile business, to health care. I do not want the government in charge of all of these things. I don't want this to work. So I'm thinking of replying to the guy, "Okay, I'll send you a response, but I don't need 400 words, I need four: I hope he fails." (interruption) What are you laughing at? See, here's the point. Everybody thinks it's outrageous to say. Look, even my staff, "Oh, you can't do that." Why not? Why is it any different, what's new, what is unfair about my saying I hope liberalism fails? Liberalism is our problem. Liberalism is what's gotten us dangerously close to the precipice here. Why do I want more of it? I don't care what the Drive-By story is. I would be honored if the Drive-By Media headlined me all day long: "Limbaugh: I Hope Obama Fails." Somebody's gotta say it.  [some text missing here ] succeeded or were they out there trying to destroy him before he was even inaugurated? Why do we have to play the game by their rules? Why do we have to accept the premise here that because of the historical nature of his presidency, that we want him to succeed? This is affirmative action, if we do that.  [Do] we want to promote incompetence?  [Do] we want to stand by and not object to what he's doing simply because of the color of his skin? Sorry. I got past the historical nature of this months ago. He is the president of the United States, he's my president, he's a human being, and his ideas and policies are what count for me, not his skin color, not his past, not whatever ties he doesn't have to being down with the struggle, all of that's irrelevant to me. We're talking about my country, the United States of America, my nieces, my nephews, your kids, your grandkids. Why in the world do we want to saddle them with more liberalism and socialism? Why would I want to do that? So I can answer it, four words, "I hope he fails." And that would be the most outrageous thing anybody in this climate could say. Shows you just how far gone we are. Well, I know, I know. I am the last man standing.  I'm happy to be the last man standing. I'm honored to be the last man standing. Yeah, I'm the true maverick. I can do more than four words. I could say I hope he fails and I could do a brief explanation of why. You know, I want to win. If my party doesn't, I do. If my party has sacrificed the whole concept of victory, sorry, I'm now the Republican in name only, and they are the sellouts. I'm serious about this. Why in the world, it's what Ann Coulter was talking about, the tyranny of the majority, all these victims here, we gotta make sure the victims are finally assuaged. Well, the dirty little secret is this isn't going to assuage anybody's victim status, and the race industry isn't going to go away, and the fact that America's original sin of slavery is going to be absolved, it's not going to happen. Just isn't, folks. It's too big a business for the left to keep all those things alive that divide the people of this country into groups that are against each other. Yes, I'm fired up about this.  Reasons number 249 and 50 why I'm not a Republican.

 Republican Senator Chuck Hagel has been chosen to introduce Vice-President-elect Biden at a bipartisan dinner in Washington on the eve of the immaculation. Biden was one of Hagel's closest friends in the Senate. "Bipartisan dinners also held that night honoring McCain and Colin Powell. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina will introduce McCain at a dinner." So all these Republicans are being honored on the night before Obama is immaculately inaugurated, as though they're part of the Obama administration. Our presidential candidate is being honored. I can understand liberals honoring their losers, but I just -- 

(tearing up story) 

A Little of This and a little of That

Let’s talk about animal rights, and do they have any.  Two different days this week Sean Hannity was taking exception to the cutting off of a dog’s testicles.  I could tell you a story about dogs of opposite sexes coexisting without mauling each other to death, but Mal Evans said to me “Oh no you don’t; that’s classified”.   We could talk about the neutering of Al our cat.  That scenario didn’t exactly proceed as the text books say.  And the thing is after Al was gone, the family reports that his full sister, Bo - - became more aggressive and getting into fights with other cats defending their territory.  Bo now had to assume the leadership role.  And Sean’s remarks about dogs being a creation of God, and God must have created dogs with testicles for a reason - - wasn’t lost on me.  This idea about dogs jumping out of three story windows or burrowing under fences or walking over electrified barbed wire or whatever from a radius of a mile away to get to a female in ‘estrus” - - to me is really guilding the lily.  Then of course we have the case of worse things being done like cats being nutered - - and also de clawed, which is a major surgical procedure- - and ending up fat as well as plentiful neutoric behavior.  And then we have birds who are kept in a small cage isolated- - and their wings are clipped and when informed that the bird is showing neurotic behavior are told ‘Oh, that is perfectly normal”.  We have larger animals such as - - elephants - - killer whales, kept in too confined of a space, and showing neurotic behavior.    God wanted animals to live out a half way pleasant life.  Scripture says “Don’t muzzle the ox that treads out the grain” but you have these Colby beef in Japan with the white meat caused by a bad diet- - and kept in ultra confined spaces and not allowed to move- - lest they actually develop muscles.

They we have Katie Kuric and people being work-o-holics today working longer and longer hours for fear if they don’t they’ll be replaced.   So it’s less an option than a necessity – and the need to put food on the table for the family next week.  We have the over-parenting of kids- - which wasn’t the case forty or fifty years ago when we grew up.  And then we have this guilt trip put on working women and bogus survays saying that children weren’t getting enough parent time, when the truth is children of working parents now get just as much parent time.   We are told of “contaminated time” such as a cell phone constantly going off while you’re on vacation.  Just turn the damn thing off and tell the boss to go fuck himself.  People need to take charge of their own lives.  And putting on my doctor’s coat- - - this may come as a surprise to Dr Oz but if you’re low on sodium - - taking in more salt will actually increase your hydration.  Believe it or not, all of us aren’t women with PMS.   And in terms of bloating is concerned- - the Dr Oz diet is assured to maximize this type of gas bloating or a bloated feeling.  It isn’t refined grains that cause bloating but quite the opposite.  So I guess the adage holds true that Americans are still sold on the idea, “You can’t be too thin – or too rich”.

This is Friday the 13^th and I did not type in Word yesterday.   I was thinking perhaps I’d like to extend and elaborate on some remarks made in yesterday afternoon’s blog post that had been on my mind that morning at breakfast, but I reconsidered.  I was thinking of Romulan word etimology, and also how the Al Qaeda planet is the “Theta” star, which I got that Theta name from an astronomy star chart, and it’s at the base of the Scorpion’s tail and Al Qaeda means “the base”.   And I was thinking of how the Federation, even without hearing from them, wouldn’t be alarmed by the newfound spread of an Al Qaeda group because “They are a son of a bitch, but at least they are OUR son of a bitch”.  I say this because the Federation brags of that passage found in Genisis with Abraham where “Their god pays homage to our god”.    Also in the story of Rehoboam, the Federation doesn’t portray him as quite the evil despot that the Bible portrays him as.   I wanted to address the whole idea of things “being invisible” or not “made manifest so as to be provable”.  Some may wonder whether I wasn’t being totally honest about my own beliefs- as per my blogs and former snail mail letters – on this matter.  Actually we speak of a de facto “zero dimension” of unformatted space, which one supposes we could take on to our newly trimmed down “tree’ of ten dimensions to get to the numerologically desired number of eleven.   Just to review (details posted a few weeks back) we got rid of the three "karmic dimensions" and these eleven dimensions are primarily pertaining to lifeless objects of concepts, including the new dynamic one we added, which is the dimension ON dynamics, or some might call amplitude.  There is but one dimension that pertains of perception or "awareness" or "sensience" if you prefer the Captain Piccard term.  So the whole of what we call life is reduced to this dimension - which originally pertained to "common perception of any substance" or "essence" if you will.  As you know in Program Arrays I speak of a “de facto zero dimension”, which has the function of a dimension, even though it isn’t really one as far as the program is concerned.  Are you confused yet?

Wednesday night the LA Kings were denied the Stanley Cup because a couple of goals just missed going in – perhaps due to slushy snow on the ice.   Bill Press on Tuesday was still in the glow of the LA King’s winning game three in Madison Square Garden, winning that one three to one over the Rangers.   But of course neither game three or even game four were televised over the air here.  So I had the usual ABC game shows on.  It was “Arrow” after that and then the Finale of “The 100”, which I wish I hadn’t been so sleepy- - because they were going to blast back off into space.

I had Bill Press on from June 11^th where Bill had a guest talking about the relation between Dick Chaney to the President and Secretary Rice to the President, which in the latter years was much closer.  But getting Bill’s show was problematic - - because I kept being referred to a page- that didn’t seem to have links to start the program.   Yesterday morning they had Ring of Fire on, but not till the noon hour.  And the lion’s share of that program was taken up with an interview between Mike Papentonio and Robert Kennedy Jr, where RFK appears to have had some sort of stroke- - that has affected his speech.

 listened to Rush Limbaugh on the radio, just like I did yesterday.  Again Rush has the same quote of Hillary Clinton from an interview where she said that the five high ranking Talliban were in fact no danger to this country, but were only a danger to Afghanistan.  Rush pointed out that terrorist attacks in this country by the Islamic community are most likely planned out in a country outside the USA.  Earlier, I went out to the store after seven and got a dollar coffee and a pack of cigarettes.  I drank the coffee here but time was short so I went down stairs with the coffee but came right back up when none of the doors were open, and I turned Stephanie Miller back on and continued drinking.  We had oatmeal for breakfast followed by two waffles and bacon.  Roxanne gave me an additional waffle, making three.  You really need three.  Thom Hartman had Sen Bernie Sanders on for that opening hour.   Everybody on the left is singing the “See, I told you so” song, which was the title of Rush’s second book.  Only in this case we really did tell you so on Iraq.  Because now everyone from the Obama administration to John Boehner is in a frenzy about “Whatever shall we do about the Iraq crisis now?”  My response at this point it, “Absolutely nothing”.  I mean if we were to put in ground troops they would just serve as target practice for a spirited enemy.  And our intelligence is so poor we’d end up bombing our own troops at this point anyhow, just like the deaths of those five soldiers recently in Afghanistan from friendly fire.   I have no idea why they would do an extended cleaning of these rooms two days in a row, but now furniture is being moved next door.

Here are a few more “brain droppings” for your forensic inspection.   Donnie Osmond was on the Stephanie Miller show today.  So many Donnie Osmond songs were so fleeting.  How many can I remember?  “One Bad Apple” “Sweet and Innocent” “Like a Yo Yo” “Down by the River” “Puppy Love” “Go Away, Little Girl” the last two being revived from the graveyard of pop history.   He said “Bad” was written for him before Michael Jackson got it, but Donnie and Michael have nothing in common cosmically.   Michael as a “musical entity” is a Del Phi, and the first two Del Phi to really get traction in the cosmic press were Sly and the Family Stone and the Del-phonics.  Barbra Lewis of course pre dates all of these.  But you also have groups like Rare Earth, Edmond Star, and the Temptations post mid 1968.   On the other hand Donnie Osmond is a Palagian, and is in the same class with “Sweet Mary I’m Coming Home”, “My Bella Mi” and “Chick-a-boom” by Daddy Dew Drops or whoever.  We have oddities like the Los Angeles Dodgers being transferred from the same group that brought us ‘Radio Head” to the group that brought us ‘Mirror in the Bathroom” and then sold to the group that brought us such gems as “Penis Envy” and “Cheerleaders on Drugs”.     Three groups are not identified even with a name but I’m informed that Rick Springfield, REO Speed wagon, and Hall & Oats, are all from the same home planet.   If we didn’t say “Bon Jovi” and “Loverboy” are both late Arkturians.  But parsing a lot of eras is what I call “needlessly tricky” and almost seemingly completely arbitrary.   This is why I considered the whole endeavor getting to be a real pain in the ass.    Just to set Steve Miller fans at ease - - Steve Miller is really a “purple” and we have to separate out Steve Miller the musical entity - - from Steve Miller the individual and his karmic destiny.  Here is new information.   Three groups to add to Aries Mu are “Asia”, “Survivor” and also the solo work of Marty Ballin.   But don’t lump Journey in there with them.  No. No.  To me a group like Journey would fit into this category that also features- - April Wine, Def Leopard, the Scorpions, Iron Maiden, and Triumph- - as kind of a pop progressive eighties-ish sound to them, but they don’t.
