Book Launch, Wed Dec 17
Don't show me no picture show or give me no book to read - Bob Dylan

Wish I could be there-good luck with everything Jeff! I can't wait to read the book and wish you and your family and the whole Rigorous Intuition family all the best in the world.
I'm intrigued and looking forward to your latest effort. If you find yourself looking for one of those loose threads unwinding from the braid we call the real world..

See you there!
Good News Jeff! Toronto as I remember it, is a beautiful city.
Kinda stuck here in this crappy economy down south at the moment so I'll have to wait to shake your hand another time.
I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas.
Jeff, I hope it went well, and I hope you're still alive. I couldn't imagine announcing where I was going to be at a certain time to some of the fruit loops who post to your site.
Thanks for all your hard work over the years. It's been a trans formative experience. Looking forward to reading the book.
Glad to hear it's finally out. Check my local book seller and they have it on their front page. Gonna go and check out it later today. http://www.bravenewbookstore.com/

If I was in Toronto, I would have made a point of being there. As I'm not, I'll just have to settle for making a tick-mark in the sales column and going without the autograph and the well-meaning "Good Health to you"... =)
Congratulation on having successfully run the publishing gauntlet. No mean feat, that.

It's all your fault "Jeff." You look exactly as I pictured you.
You never understood Russia and you never understood love.

I hope it is as good as Texxe Marr's CODEX MAGICA, which is a pile of ignorance and fabrications which judging by your message board most of your fans buy into.
FIGHT STEALTH CHRISTIANITY
That Texx Marrs is a side kick of AJ bobble heads. Are Mormans affiliated with the Masonic lodge? What is the purpose of doublespeak? Is rapture better than Holy Ganja fire? So many questions,so much time. Lot's of snow here in bug-tussel, trip to x-mass dinner is out.Will the Bush cartel steal the other 350 million/ oh, I mean billion dollars before Jan 20. Fight stealth xtianianity!Dennis from Oregon.
Stealth Christianity is pathetic because those fervent believers must conform themselves into rationality. That is itself a sort of doublespeak.
I like the term "AJ bobbleheads," it is much like "ditto heads," or "party officials."
How can I begrudge Jeff Wells I good return on his writing investment? He is a nice guy, though befuddled and beclouded. I wish he makes money but also wish his erroneous conceptions of reality get demolished.
If there were no erroneous conceptions of reality, there would be no evil.
IF THERE WERE NO ERRONEOUS CONCEPTIONS OF REALITY THERE WOULD BE NO EVIL.
Jeff. Pull it together, man. Write for the site. Use the site to help you sell copies of the book.
For Pete's sake. It doesn't seem like you're trying.
I (hate to?) break it to some of the 'I hate Alex Jones' irrational crowd (Jeff included), though at least looking at Amazon.com's network of buyers of Jeff's book, they are equally shopping for Alex Jones books and videos without any hangups. They're all talking about the same things. May allies be made. Alex up in Ottawa a few years back protesting Bilderberger, getting in the media then, attempting to educate Canadians as much as Jeff does I guess.
So, any reviews of the book opening? What does Jeff look like offline? ;-)
If I was nearby, I would have gone.
India may recover quite quickly from its state terrorism (Mumbai) if coverage and parliament allies understand the details about why the head of the anti-terrorism squad Karkare (who was investgating right-wing Hindu fascist terrorists) happened to be killed by (the government's story of) "Muslims" (the usual cover suspects, of course, for all state terror recently).
However real Muslims would have little desire to target someone for assassination who was seeking out right wing Hindu terrorists. Background on that, just a while back right wing Hindu terrorists descended upon Muslim communities in India, hoping that their pogroms would ignite some type of Muslim backlash that would allow them to gain more support for their desired anti-Muslim repression. It didn't happen.
More details about the Karkare murder that happened so conveniently during the Mumbai attacks:
Mumbai Carnage: The Police Story stands shattered
Amaresh Misra
Today, 18th December 2008, is a historic day. It marks the beginning of a process wherein my `theory' about the Mumbai attack might just turn out to be true. But there is no joy. There is just an emptiness, a sadness at Karkare's death and the killing of hundreds of innocents by the Hindutva-Mossad-CIA combine using factions in the ISI and International/Israeli mercenaries.
The Minorities Affairs Minister AR Antulay was once a firebrand leader. But he has been quiet for long--too long; today he spoke and questioned directly Karkare's killing in the Parliament. Antulay is a cabinet Minister; he is not known to speak out of line. Despite Abhishek Singhvi's remark distancing the Congress from what Antulay said, the latter, it seems, definitely has the sanction of the Congress High Command at some level. Anyone supposing something else is deluding himself/herself.
Here is the text of the Times of India report:
Maintaining that "there is more than what meets the eyes", Antulay said Karkare was investigating some cases in which "there are non-Muslims also", an apparent reference to the Malegaon blasts case in which sadhvi Pragya Thakur and a Lt-Colonel Shrikant Prasad Purohit were among the 11 persons to be arrested.
"Unfortunately his end came. It may be a separate inquiry how his (Karkare's) end came," he told reporters outside Parliament.
Antulay said "Karkare found that there are non-Muslims involved in the acts of terrorism during his investigations in some cases. Any person going to the roots of terror has always been the target, he said.
"Superficially speaking they (terrorists) had no reason to kill Karkare. Whether he (Karkare) was victim of terrorism or terrorism plus something. I do not know," he added.
When he came under attack in Lok Sabha on the issue, Antulay sought to wriggle out saying he had not talked about who killed Karkare but about "who sent him in the direction" of Cama hospital, outside which he was killed.
"Who had sent them to Cama hospital (a lane opposite which he and two other officers were killed by Pakistani terrorists on Nov 26). What were they told that made them leave for the same spot in the same vehicle.
"I repeat what I had said. I had not said who had killed them but only questioned who had sent them there (Cama Hospital) in that direction," he said in Lok Sabha where BJP and Shiv Sena members attacked him for his remarks.
Anant Geete of Shiv Sena accused him of "misleading" the house and sought Chidambaram's clarification.
Earlier in the day, describing Hemant Karkare as a very bold officer having great acumen and vision, Antulay asked "How come instead of going to Hotel Taj or Oberai or even the Nariman House, he went to such a place where there was nothing compared to what happened in the three places?"
"Why all the three (Hemant Karakre, Vijay Salaskar and Ashok Kamte) went together. It is beyond my comprehension," the minister said.
The minister's remarks came under immediate attack from BJP which asked the prime minister to clarify whether his remarks are an "individual misdemeanour or the collective wisdom of the Cabinet".
"The remarks are obnoxious and deserves a clarification from the prime minister," BJP spokesman Rajiv Pratap Rudy told reporters.
Reacting to Antulay's remarks, Congress spokesman Abhishek Manu Singhvi they should be treated his "personal views" and Congress party does not agree with them and does not support such a formulation.
To a question, he said there was no question of embarrassment to the party.
Samajwadi Party MP Amar Singh, who himself was in the centre of a controversy when he had raised doubts over the killing of a Delhi police official in an encounter recently, said a senior leader like Antulay should before issuing any statement uphold the cherished tradition of collective wisdom of the cabinet.
Not completely disapproving the remarks, Union minister Ram Vilas Paswan said Antulay must be having "more information" since he hails from Maharashtra.
The issue came up when the house was discussing two bills brought in by the government to tackle terror against the backdrop of Mumbai terror attacks.
Geete said the prime minister and several senior union ministers have gone on record to say that Karkare was killed by terrorists.
Not satisfied with Antulay's reply, Geete charged the union minister with "misleading" the house, which he "did not "expect".
The basic evil/criminal intent of BJP-Shiv Sena politics along with their pathetic `soft' and `hard' supporters, stands exposed; the questions here are vital: a cabinet minister, not an Independent analyst, has questioned the Police theory about Karkare's death. Note what Antulay is saying: WHO sent them there (Cama Hospital); how come they were traveling together?
This is exactly what we have been asking---Antulay's statement means that that he is hinting at the role of some top functionary WHO SEND THEM THERE--(TO THEIR DEATHS)! Now put this in context with proceedings that have begun against AN Roy, the Mumbai DGP, Hasan Ghaffoor, the Mumbai Police Commissioner and the Maharashtra Home Secretary.
What do you get? That the entire Police story put forward by the likes of Rakesh Maria is suddenly under suspicion--so much for those savvy journalists like Rajdeep Sardesai and Barkha Dutt. Rajdeep in fact quoted Maria as his source and a reliable, honest officer--if he had to sell himself I am sure he could have found a better buyer. He should have learnt from Javed and Teesta.
This means that the entire police version might be wrong! Which means that there is a question mark over Kasab and Ismail killing Karkare, Salaskar and Kaamte. Which means that Kasab and Ismail might not have killed the three; which then raises the question: who killed them? Was it the Mumbai Police top brass? Or the Gujarat ATS under Narendra Modi? Or a combination of the two--again--WHO SENT THEM THERE?
This means that there is sufficient doubt over Kasab's version! Which means that Kasab's entire story of how he killed the three officers, plus the entire thing that he is a Jehadi etc, is a plant, something which our Police excels in! Which means that the so-called CCTV grabs etc showing the footage of Kasab and Ismail were all fake! Aziz Burney of the Rashtriya Sahara Urdu and the Marathi Press has said this in so many words!
The Mumbai and the Indian Police has been known for keeping informers, ex-militants and Pakistani spies in illegal confinement or on their payroll. And then planting them in situations where either Police or the corporate-politician-bureaucrat nexus or foreign powers or Hindutva forces have carried out attacks and bomb blasts. This happened on numerous occasions say, in 2006 when the RSS Headquarters in Nagpur were attacked allegedly by `terrorists', who then died in an encounter with the Nagpur Police. It later turned out, and this was proved by Jusice Kondse Patil's report on this issue and by Suresh Khairnar, a veteran socialist and human rights activist, that these `terrorists' were in fact people who had been killed by a non-Maharashtrian Special Crime Branch Police in a fake encounter and then brought and placed before the RSS Headquarters. The Nagpur chief of Police in fact went on record to say that his Police actually did not engage in any encounter!
Now comes a report that Kasab was actually kidnapped by RAW officials in Nepal in 2006. In fact a PIL has been filed in a Pakistani court and the Times of India carried a report on this in its 17th December Mumbai edition.
In my last piece I had mentioned the Red Fort case. Indians, including some leaders of so-called secular parties are so ill informed that they do not even remember there was a Red Fort attack! They only know of the Parliamentary attack, which was again a fake drama staged by the Delhi Police--the best part is that our wily parliamentarians know this! That is why they did not turn up to commemorate the `martyrdom' of Police personal who died defending the Parliament!
Kasab is a fake; the real terrorists who came to Mumbai wreaked their mayhem and went back safely--some of them, as testified by eye-witness near Nariman House were definitely Israeli. The main aim of the entire operaiton was to eliminate Karkare and to create something so big that the Malegaon blast investigation pales in comparison.
But Karkare killers and Hindutva forces had the backing it seems of Manmohan Singh. Why else would Advani meet Singh before 26th November on the issue of `torture' of Praggya Singh? Has anyone heard of a leader of the opposition meeting the Prime Minister on such an issue?
Apparently a deal was struck between them; and remember Advani could not have met Singh like this, without American mediation.
Was Sonia in the knowhow? Probably not--the Sonia angle is very important--there are reports that probably she was unaware of what happened on 26th November and that depite throwing in her lot with the Manmohan Singh lobby on other issues, she saw that their plan included upstaging her!
Karkare's killing is the result of the larger fight between Hindutva-pro-Israeli, pro-American lobby which is now deeply entrenched in India and whatever is left of Congress' old legacy in the establishment. Both these factions often unite, as they did against the Left on the nuclear deal issue. But the `old legacy' faction does not realize that pro-US, pro-Israel lobby is planning to overthrow it--and maybe sink Sonia and Rahul as well!
WHAT IS THE BIGGEST FAILURE OF THE CURRENT ESTABLISHMENT? NOT THAT THERE WERE SECURITY LAPSES AND INTELLIGENCE FAILURE--THE BIGGEST FAILURE IS THAT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO COOK UP A FALSE STORY ABOUT A TERRORIST ATTACK--THEY FAILED TO ESTABLISH A CONVINCING COVER-UP! EVERYONE WHO HAS SUPPORTED THE POLICE THEORY HAS TO ANSWER. THE VENGEANCE OF THE INDIAN PEOPLE WILL BE UPON YOU.
AND NOW COMES THE STARTLING FACT--KARKARE WAS KILLED BY A 9 MM BULLET--WHICH COULD NOT HAVE COME FROM AK-47 OR 56! WHERE IS HIS POST-PARTUM REPORT?

My point exactly. There are better prophecies that come from better prophets who learned from better teachers. None of them believe in a God or a Satan.
Hey Sounder, as a token bit of thanks, here's a Christmas story for you.
Now, as you know, the Santa meme is an ancient meme, traceable back to Siberian shamans and Wild Men.
The hallucinogen that is probably most associated with Siberian shamanism is Amanitia muscaria, or the fly agaric.
It's usage is found across the northern reaches of Eurasia, from the Baltic Sea to Siberia. There are also hints of its use in Germany and Scandanavia. All prime real estate for the Santa myth.
Now, look at this picture of Amanita muscaria.
& then this photo of Santa.
Don't you find it a trifle odd that a watered down Wild Man and a hallucinogenic mushroom share the same distinctive color scheme?
Coincidentally, reindeer also have a deep hankerin' for a little Amanita. They love to munch on the little suckers and then stumble around in an intoxicated stupor, flying high like Rudolph and his fog bound brethren are rumored to do.
Of course, you may know all this. I didn't. I had to mouth a 'holy fuckin' shit' when I saw those 2 pictures side by side. Then I cackled like a mad little peckerwood.
I know I appear like a negative little shit-heel, possessing all the social graces of a crack head without crack, but here's what i really think.
No matter how many times they hide the tools of gnosis Sounder, gnosis will mutate and insinuate itself into the cover story, winking out with a huge shit eating grin at all who want to see it.
There will, of course, be setbacks along the way. But, in the end, the Traditionalists will lose because the "tradition" they think they're upholding isn't exactly traditional. Its origins are only traceable back to the Renaissance. The Traditionalist's and their hatred of the modern world was born at the same time as the modern world. It is the modern world's shadow twin. Or, vice versa, depending, I suppose, on one's viewpoint.
The real "Tradition," the one that actually created culture out of nothing, patiently bides its time while this Earth bound power of Masons/neo-cons/Illuminati/shitheads with too much time and money on their hands that we seem to find infinitely fascinating, runs itself ragged pursuing dismal plastic delusions of its own grandeur.
In the end, they will lose. progress doesn't suffer anchors lightly.
I'm not saying this because I've had some sudden epiphany of holiday cheer.
Truthfully, life sucks.
My mom was just scammed by some phoney credit relief agency. They heisted $1500 and some change and completely wrecked her credit to the point she has to declare bankruptcy while one of my astute supervisors came upon me today with my eyes closed, going through my daily ritual of crawling into the place where, when someone spits in my face, I feel absolutely nothing, and she seems to think I was napping.
Do these people think I remain calm because I'm a masochist?
Or maybe a fucking saint?
Complete emotional disconnect is the only way I've survived.
Maybe, in one of their idiotic in-services they can explain a better way to handle what i witnessed tonight.
We had our annual family/client Xmas bash. Much good food and copious amounts of sweets and goodies. If you're a client with family members who attend, you get to sample the victuals. No family, well, let me put it this way, you're free to smell the goodies cooking in the kitchen, and much drooling is permissible, but eating is an entirely different little horsey. And that's not the really ugly part. The really ugly part was watching this guy D get dressed for the party. Now, D is relatively smart for this world. One can actually converse with him once one deciphers his speech mannerisms. My big Rosetta Stone for deciphering D came when I accidentally heard a slowed down reel to reel tape. It sounded exactly like D. As a matter of fact, everything D does is
s l o w. Like getting dressed. Tonight it took him 2 and 1/2 hours to squeeze his skinny body into his one cheap suit. He knew it was family night and he was expecting Mom. So, he dresses, crawls up into his motorized wheelchair and zooms out and parks himself in front of the door and proceeds to stare hopefully at it...as other family members file in for a little smoozing...as parents usher children into the kitchen for the meal he can't have...and then all parents slowly file out with many goodbyes and Merry Christmases. After the truth of Mom's non-attendance
s l o wly dawns on D, he putters his chair back to his room and bawls like a baby.
If I had no method of emotional disconnect, I'd have holes in my stomach big enough to stick my fist in.
So, I'm not saying this from happy-wappy land.
But it's what I think.
They'll lose.
Probably ungracefully and with much whimpering.
So what.
Fuck 'em.
As much as folk around here like to insist the "PTBs" taunt and laugh at us," I think they are also quite aware of the sound of the guillotine. I think that's why they go to such elaborate lengths to attain methods of control that make us complicit in our own flummoxing. In the end, I think that they are painfully aware that a head isn't attached by very much meat at all.
& money and Earthly quasi-power make incredibly poor shields when the blade is sharp and the Mob is pissed off.
JAD: amusing reading of Santa's claim that he 'nods and winks' before he flies up chimneys like a puff of smoke to deliver goodwill and presents to everyone on a round the world flight with red nosed reindeer on Christmas Eve, then he sleeps it off the rest of the year while dreaming his little army of elves make toys for everyone next year; what else could it be.
I made a Photoshopped image labeled
"Samantia Clausicaria wishes you and yours a very Merry Christmas"
holding your mushroom. Santa as the ultimate Johnny Appleseed.
Perhaps Hallmark Cards will have a "Psychedelic Seasons" section soon next to "Brother's/Sister's birthday", "Mother's Day", etc.
Aaaarrr! Frozen Beardsnot, but it's cold today!
@Jeff: Congrats. I`ll Amazon myself a copy when I have an income of some kind again.
@JAD: Sounds like you work in a building run by assholes. Let me guess - a major food service company is running your cafeteria there. The policies you describe sound very familiar.
Good Christmas story.
Maybe the cook would slip you a plate for the needy in such situations. I know I've given away plenty working for Sodexho in TO. Rather a bum gets a hot meal than have to salvage and re-serve it three days later (three days being the optimal 'rotation' time to avoid both customer detection and product spoilage on such illegal recycles).
Such a nice world it is. I'm loving it here in the frozen MidWest - all these people out here seem to want to do is get the hair off a fella. Never had so many clerks so interested in 'helping' me in so many crappy shops.
Why would they think I would steal their style-less crap anyway? One look at me should tell them they are in the presence of a force beyond mere bum-sniffing chimpanzee-grade caste placement.
In fact I fascinate them. Soon I will rule this town.
Be lucky I don't get shot for a varmint out here. I'm just going to hide in my cheap little room and watch the snow while I wait out the mini-booms in potash, oil and real estate here to fizzle (and for the Caves to sell).
Looked at a place for 30K yesterday...solid house. Even well-insulated. I can`t believe how cheap it is here, man. Well, there is the weather. And there are all these freak-hating cowboy psychos littering the streets. And it is in the unserviced, frozen town of Butt-Norbert or something like that. But still...30K, and in decent shape. Better than I thought, even. Hardly needs paint.
They`ll just have to get useta me. I have a novel to write, and they have the land prices I like.
Anyway, hope all's well @ y'all. Oh, and @Ghoul: Quit advertising! You'll make more money selling matchsticks, for crying out loud, and nobody really respects a huckster. Better yet, trade real goods. People are happy to pay you a markup for the convenience of having you go and pick the thing. Sell Amazoned-up stuff door-to-door or something. Lord, anything's better than advertising.
@Kevin John: TO, beautiful? Where the heck are you from, man? That place last had a wipedown in about 1975. The only time it doesn't smell like the acres of poo and rotting corpses lurking inches below the swampy ground is when it's frozen solid. Plus, the percentage of a**holes in the street there is approaching saturation levels.
@All: I like the idea of the Mushroom God speaking his incomprehensibly powerful truth right out through Coca-Santa. Watch out though son - wandering down into the roots of what we are is much like taking a walk through the generator room with all the casings off. There's a reason that humming sound makes your hackles rise.
Lovely to to see you again my friends.
Once a Lord of Below, now disinherited and freebooting without ship or ocean, I remain, your one and only,
Captain Beard.
Hi folks
You may already have seen this, but it comes with my wishes for a happy holiday season for one and all.

Mark, I guess you're unfamiliar with the rigorously suppressed pre-cursor to Johnny Appleseed, Trisha Toadstool.
Seriously though, through your history here you've posted a few bits on Catholic P2 Masons, so I was wondering if you have any good dirt on the equally Catholic and equally fascist Legion of the Archangel Michael that eventually morphed into the Romanian Iron Guard after King Carol II had its original leaders strangled in their jail cells for...
...well, I'm not exactly sure why they were strangled since the originals appeared to be fairly rabid fascists and King Carol replaced them with other rabid fascists and Nazi sympathizers.
It seems a bit like trading in your bright yellow 1969 VW bug for a bright yellow 1969 VW bug.
& shame, I've always found things that make my hackles rise sort of appealing.
I have a standing offer from a co-worker for an extensive tour of DMT-land.
I now have to decide if I like being scared shit-less nearly as much as I like stories about scary shit.
JAD, I have yet to have the displeasure of meeting with (or researching of) their company.
However, here's another treat everyone should know about:
McGowan's long series of the military-industrial complex and intelligence services--and the "MKULTRAness of it all"-- tying into 'counterculture' though hardly anti-elite. The interpretation and evidential trail leads to the conclusion that the hippies were a strange elite countermovement/disorganization' of the well organized Black Civil rights and peace movements of the early to mid 1960s. Just ask some questions along this line after reading the biographies and actions of this group in 1965 and onward.
To save typing wear and tear, there are three parts
1. Wes Penre summarizes, then
2. I have an excerpt from McGowan, with a link to his original posts, then
3. a link to something I wrote two and a half years ago on a parallel argument though with different data summarized.
I.
Wes wrote:
David McGowan, a brilliant researcher, is in the process of publishing a very detailed and lengthy series of articles called "Inside The LC: The Strange but Mostly True Story of Laurel Canyon and the Birth of the Hippie Generation", and the first twelve parts are published here on the Illuminati News Website and the rest will be published as soon as David has finished them. It is an amazing body of research, where he effectively is pointing out the fact that more often than not, the top artists within the music and film industries, their managers and producers have military and/or military intelligence connections. Many are also involved in organized crime, drug dealing, murder, prostitution, child pornography, snuff movies and black magic. Here are a few examples of musicians from the hippie era, who have family ties to people within the U.S. Military:
Jim Morrison of "The Doors": His father was the U.S. Navy Admiral George Stephen Morrison[1]. Jim was more or less brought up on military bases and abused by his father.
Frank Zappa: Son of Francis Zappa, a mathematician and a chemist, working for the U.S. defense industry[2]. Frank himself, although one of those who was in the frontline of creating the Hippie Movement, never made it a secret that he had nothing but contempt for this culture. He was also a great supporter of the Vietnam War[3]. Frank was married to Adelaide Gail Sloatman, who comes from a "long line of career Naval officers, including her father, who spent his life working on classified nuclear weapons research for the U.S. Navy. Gail herself had once worked as a secretary for the Office of Naval Research and Development (she also once told an interviewer that she had “heard voices all [her] life”). Many years before their nearly simultaneous arrival in Laurel Canyon, Gail had attended a Naval kindergarten with “Mr. 'Mojo Risin’” himself, Jim Morrison (it is claimed that, as children, Gail once hit Jim over the head with a hammer). The very same Jim Morrison had later attended the same Alexandria, Virginia high school as two other future Laurel Canyon luminaries – John Phillips and Cass Elliott."[4].
"Papa" John Phillips of "The Mamas and the Papas": Son of a retired Marine Corps officer (Captain Claude Andrew Phillips)[5]. "John attended a series of elite military prep schools in the Washington, D.C. area, culminating in an appointment to the prestigious U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis...John married Susie Adams, a direct descendant of ‘Founding Father’ John Adams. Susie’s father, James Adams, Jr., had been involved in what Susie described as “cloak-and-dagger stuff with the Air Force in Vienna,” or what we like to call covert intelligence operations. Susie herself would later find employment at the Pentagon, alongside John Phillip’s older sister, Rosie, who dutifully reported to work at the complex for nearly thirty years. John’s mother, ‘Dene’ Phillips, also worked for most of her life for the federal government in some unspecified capacity."[6]
Stephen Stills of "Buffalo Springfield" and "Crosby, Stills, Nash (and Young): Born to a Military family[7]. Stills was educated primarily at schools on military bases and at elite military academies.[8]
David Crosby of "The Byrds" and "Crosby, Stills, Nash (and Young)": "...the son of an Annapolis graduate and WW II military intelligence officer, Major Floyd Delafield Crosby. Like others in this story, Floyd Crosby spent much of his post-service time traveling the world. Those travels landed him in places like Haiti, where he paid a visit in 1927, when the country just happened to be, coincidentally of course, under military occupation by the U.S. Marines. One of the Marines doing that occupying was a guy that we met earlier by the name of Captain Claude Andrew Phillips"[9] (father of "Papa" John Phillips. Small world, Wes Penre's comment).
"Suffice it to say that the Crosby family tree includes a truly dizzying array of US senators and congressmen, state senators and assemblymen, governors, mayors, judges, Supreme Court justices, Revolutionary and Civil War generals, signers of the Declaration of Independence, and members of the Continental Congress. It also includes, I should hasten to add – for those of you with a taste for such things – more than a few high-ranking Masons. Stephen Van Rensselaer III, for example, reportedly served as Grand Master of Masons for New York. And if all that isn’t impressive enough, according to the New England Genealogical Society, David Van Cortlandt Crosby is also a direct descendant of ‘Founding Fathers’ and Federalist Papers’ authors Alexander Hamilton and John Jay."[10]
Jackson Browne: "...the product of a career military family. Browne’s father was assigned to post-war ‘reconstruction’ work in Germany, which very likely means that he was in the employ of the OSS, precursor to the CIA. As readers of my “Understanding the F-Word” may recall, U.S. involvement in post-war reconstruction in Germany largely consisted of maintaining as much of the Nazi infrastructure as possible while shielding war criminals from capture and prosecution. Against that backdrop, Jackson Browne was born in a military hospital in Heidelberg, Germany."[11]
Gram Parsons of "The Flying Burrito Brothers": "...was the son of Major Cecil Ingram “Coon Dog” Connor II, a decorated military officer and bomber pilot who reportedly flew over 50 combat missions."[12]
Jimi Hendrix of "The Jimi Hendrix Experience": "Hendrix was born on November 27, 1942, in Seattle, Washington, USA, while his father was stationed at an Army base in Oklahoma."[13]
Michael Jeffrey, Jimi Hendrix' Manager: Michael Jeffrey admitted to being an Intelligence Agent. Information was uncovered by Hendrix' biographers Harry Shapiro and Caesar Glebeek in their book, "Jimi Hendrix: Electric Gypsy; from rock historian R. Gary Patterson in his book, Hellbounds on Their Trail: Tales from the Rock ‘n’ Roll Graveyard"[14]; and from John McDermott and Eddie Kramer in their book, "Hendrix: Setting the Record Straight"[15]. The following is a summary of their collective findings:
* Jeffrey often boasted of "undercover work against the Russians, or murder, mayhem and torture in foreign countries." Jeffrey’s father said his son had been stationed in Egypt years earlier and could speak Russian.
* Friends of Hendrix suspected Jeffrey was crooked and they (the friends) confiscated documents from his office which indicated he was embezzling large amounts of money from Jimi’s concert performances. The friends gave the documents to Hendrix, who reportedly took legal actions to recover the embezzled money.
* In July 1970, two months before his death, Hendrix broke all communications with Jeffrey. At that time, Hendrix told film director Chuck Wein: "The next time I go to Seattle will be in a pine box."89
* Two days after Hendrix’s death, Michael Jeffrey confessed to recording engineer Alan Douglas that he was involved in the murder. "In my opinion," Douglas reportedly stated, "Jeffrey hated Hendrix".
Joni Mitchell: "...her father [Bill Anderson] [was] an officer in the Royal Canadian Air Force. During the war years, she moved with her parents to a number of bases in western Canada."[16]
"Colonel" Tom Parker, Elvis Presley's Manager: "...at about the age of 20 [he] joined the United States Army, despite the fact he was not a U.S. citizen [he was Dutch and his real name was Andreas Cornelis (Dries) van Kuijk, Wes Penre's comment]. Van Kuijk was stationed in Hawaii, at a base commanded by a Captain Tom Parker. After leaving the service, van Kuijk adopted the name Tom Parker.[18]
All these military connections are hardly coincidences. I strongly recommend that you read the whole series of articles by David McGowan. It is stunning to learn that all these people mentioned above (except Col. Tom Parker) moved approximately at the same time to Laurel Canyon in California, without knowing each other beforehand (at least that's what we are supposed to believe), and there they started the Hippie Movement together. And here is the key: they all had military connections!
For us who used to believe that the Hippie Movement was a grass root movement against the Vietnam War and authority better think again. David shows us without any doubt that the Hippie Culture which started out in Laurel Canyon, California, had shady origins to say the least, and corruption, crime, murder and you name it followed in its trail and was part of the daily life of the so-called "peace movement".

Dave wrote, in the second of the series (now at 12 posts):
"When I recently presented to a friend a truncated summary of the information contained in the first installment of this series, said friend opted to play the devil’s advocate by suggesting that there was nothing necessarily nefarious in the fact that so many of these icons of a past generation hailed from military/intelligence families. Perhaps, he suggested, they had embarked on their chosen careers as a form of rebellion against the values of their parents. And that, I suppose, might be true in a couple of cases. But what are we to conclude from the fact that such an astonishing number of these folks (along with their girlfriends, wives, managers, etc.) hail from a similar background? Are we to believe that the only kids from that era who had musical talent were the sons and daughters of Navy Admirals, chemical warfare engineers and Air Force intelligence officers? Or are they just the only ones who were signed to lucrative contracts and relentlessly promoted by their labels and the media?
If these artists were rebelling against, rather than subtly promoting, the values of their parents, then why didn’t they ever speak out against the folks they were allegedly rebelling against? Why did Jim Morrison never denounce, or even mention, his father’s key role in escalating one of America’s bloodiest illegal wars? And why did Frank Zappa never pen a song exploring the horrors of chemical warfare (though he did pen a charming little ditty entitled “The Ritual Dance of the Child-Killer”)? And which Mamas and Papas song was it that laid waste to the values and actions of John Phillip’s parents and in-laws? And in which interview, exactly, did David Crosby and Stephen Stills disown the family values that they were raised with?
In the coming weeks, we will take a much closer look at these folks, as well as at many of their contemporaries, as we endeavor to determine how and why the youth ‘counterculture’ of the 1960s was given birth. According to virtually all the accounts that I have read, this was essentially a spontaneous, organic response to the war in Southeast Asia and to the prevailing social conditions of the time. ‘Conspiracy theorists,’ of course, have frequently opined that what began as a legitimate movement was at some point co-opted and undermined by intelligence operations such as CoIntelPro.
Entire books, for example, have been written examining how presumably virtuous musical artists were subjected to FBI harassment and/or whacked by the CIA.
Here we will, as you have no doubt already ascertained, take a decidedly different approach. The question that we will be tackling is a more deeply troubling one: “what if the musicians themselves (and various other leaders and founders of the ‘movement’) were every bit as much a part of the intelligence community as the people who were supposedly harassing them?” What if, in other words, the entire youth culture of the 1960s was created not as a grass-roots challenge to the status quo, but as a cynical exercise in discrediting and marginalizing the budding anti-war movement and creating a fake opposition that could be easily controlled and led astray? And what if the harassment these folks were subjected to was largely a stage-managed show designed to give the leaders of the counterculture some much-needed ‘street cred’? What if, in reality, they were pretty much all playing on the same team?
I should probably mention here that, contrary to popular opinion, the ‘hippie’/’flower child’ movement was not synonymous with the anti-war movement. As time passed, there was, to be sure, a fair amount of overlap between the two ‘movements.’ And the mass media outlets, as is their wont, did their very best to portray the flower-power generation as the torch-bearers of the anti-war movement – because, after all, a ragtag band of unwashed, drug-fueled long-hairs sporting flowers and peace symbols was far easier to marginalize than, say, a bunch of respected college professors and their concerned students. The reality, however, is that the anti-war movement was already well underway before the first aspiring ‘hippie’ arrived in Laurel Canyon. The first Vietnam War ‘teach-in’ was held on the campus of the University of Michigan in March of 1965. The first organized walk on Washington occurred just a few weeks later.
Needless to say, there were no ‘hippies’ in attendance at either event. That ‘problem’ would soon be rectified. And the anti-war crowd – those who were serious about ending the bloodshed in Vietnam, anyway – would be none too appreciative.
[potential countermovement]
As Barry Miles has written in his coffee-table book, Hippie, there were some hippies involved in anti-war protests, “particularly after the police riot in Chicago in 1968 when so many people got injured [the late Skolnick wrote of evidence that the 1968 Chicago riots were CIA orchestrated agent provocateur action to discredit the left in 1968 to make way for (CIA/Bush family sponsored from the beginning...) Nixon], but on the whole the movement activists looked on hippies with disdain.”
Peter Coyote, narrating the documentary “Hippies” on The History Channel, added that “Some on the left even theorized that the hippies were the end result of a plot by the CIA to neutralize the anti-war movement with LSD, turning potential protestors into self-absorbed naval-gazers.” An exasperated Abbie Hoffman once described the scene as he remembered it thusly: “There were all these activists, you know, Berkeley radicals, White Panthers … all trying to stop the war and change things for the better. Then we got flooded with all these ‘flower children’ who were into drugs and sex. Where the hell did the hippies come from?!”
As it turns out, they came, initially at least, from a rather private, isolated, largely self-contained neighborhood in Los Angeles known as Laurel Canyon (in contrast to the other canyons slicing through the Hollywood Hills, Laurel Canyon has its own market, the semi-famous Laurel Canyon Country Store; its own deli and cleaners; its own elementary school, the Wonderland School; its own boutique shops and salons; and, in more recent years, its own celebrity reprogramming rehab facility named, as you may have guessed, the Wonderland Center..."

Here's something else along this line that yours truly put together several years ago (it looks like two and a half years ago, actually). Then, I tended toward the same conclusion, and I will definitely be reading McGowan to fill in some of the other bits from the "LC" angle which is a different set of data from what I was using to make the same argument...

The responder Mark follows a standard "council of 300" kind of crypto-Christian POST MODERN RELIGIOUS MYTHOLOGY. The 'history' is composed of many facts intertwined into a narrative of mythic proportions with the thread of fabrication spun from irrational belief.
I have found in almost every case that Christians (crypto or otherwise) take what they don't like or understand and impute or push their own evils onto it, creating a demon or Enemy that they can freely hate.
The thing is, they don't have a clue about what they are talking about and that every evil they see is in their own hearts.
What up to JAD - religionists hate gnosis. They always have. The reasons for this are legion and I am not going to wrack my brain discussing them right now.
Maybe later.
A big "Ya got that right anony."
Isn't that why they preach and preen about 2000+ year old "spiritual experiences" instead of helping folk to have their own?
Direct gnosis of the masses would quickly make all those sacred gatekeepers entirely obsolete quite quickly.
Can't run a "spiritual" empire without middle management now can we?
On a happy note:
NEW YORK – A fund manager who lost more than $1 billion of his clients' money to Bernard Madoff was discovered dead Tuesday after committing suicide at his Manhattan office, marking a grim turn in a scandal that has left investors around the world in financial ruin.
Rene-Thierry Magon de la Villehuchet was found sitting at his desk at about 8 a.m. with both wrists slashed, NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said. A box cutter was found on the floor along with a bottle of sleeping pills on his desk. Police did not find a suicide note.
De la Villehuchet was one of several money managers and investors left reeling in the wake of Madoff's alleged $50 billion Ponzi scheme, and his suicide demonstrates how the repercussions of this gigantic scam are intensifying by the day.
De la Villehuchet, 65, was a distinguished financier who came from a long line of aristocratic Frenchmen, and he tapped his connections in the world of European high society to attract clients to his firm, Access International Advisors. It was not immediately clear how he knew Madoff or who his clients were.
He grew increasingly subdued after the Madoff scandal broke, arousing suspicion among janitors in his Madison Avenue office tower Monday night when he demanded that they be out of there by 7 p.m. Less than 13 hours later, a security guard checked on him in his 22nd-story office suite. But de la Villehuchet was dead — a trash can placed near his body to apparently catch the blood, Browne said.
JAD, you truly deserve better luck. Shame are you the Reptor of an earlier time? Mark I was brought up with my Mom's Peter,Paul,and Mary on the turnstyle. It is that music I always thought of as Hippie. Frank Zappa was never a hippie. He did not accept the drug culture. I feel the hippie movement was part and parcel a product of the Greatful Dead. The lyrics of Robert Hunter are esoteric. Many roses and death's heads. Rosicrution in the least, Masonic, yes. The Amanita Muscaria mushroom is intoxicating not a hallucinogen. I have ingested it many times. Once was floating above my body. The Vikings used to go beserk in battle. The walls will not melt with Amanita. There are numerous Amanita mushrooms on any state park along the Oregon coast. The skin is the main ingrediant. Bake many skins at 350 in your oven for 35 minutes, eat about a gram and wait for the effect. The liberty caps found on any grass field where there are sheep and cows are full of surprizes(wall melt and color shifts).Take 1/2 ounce(fresh) and make a fruit shake with them. (enough for two). The drugs that came along with the hippies have been used by shamans for thousand of years. One must fog the mind to stir the soul. Drugs are with us beings. I think mushrooms are an intelligent life form. Much more than AJ bobbleheads. Shineforth brave souls. Dennis from Oregon.

I always feel comfortable when people scapegoat Christians instead of Jews, blacks, and women. When the fires of Waco were toasting those people the gods were smiling on me. There's no question that probably all Christians are either stupid or some kind of predator looking to take advantage of some kind of situation. I think that we should just put them someplace where they are by themselves and no longer in our way. Love thy neighbor? No. Be reasonable and use common sense. We do not know what our neighbors are capable of. If there is a creator then why has it propagated its influence on me? It would never do that. A creator is man-made. Dust to dust I always say.
Mark,
You know I think very highly
of your posts, but this David
McGowan piece about the history of
Laurel Canyon and its musical
inhabitants is total crap. And I
have been to his website and much
of his work is very good, but it
seems he went off the rails on this
one. I'm wondering if this guy is
a frustrated musician (like myself)
who saw everyone but him get a record deal. If you want to hear
what Frank Zappa really thinks
about Governments and politicians
in general, watch the YouTube
clip of him on Crossfire. It's
priceless.
Captain Beard,
Good to see you back

Anonymous One,JAD just watched a special on CMBC about the "Millionaires" that lost their asses in Palm Beach,on the weekend at Bernies.Figures stand at about 1/3 of the Palm Beach Country Club got wiped out.I worked on Palm Beach Island for about 4 years,been inside,seen at least 40 of these folks cribs,the Kennedys,Crocks,Daddy Bush,SGT.Shrives,John Heinz,and some of the richest fucks you've never heard of and will never hear of.When these people start eating their own you know the game is over.I am reminded of what the Joker said in the new Batman movie,"when things fall apart,they will eat each other"you don't think he trying to tell us something do you?I am straped with a curse or a blessing,it all depends on your point of view,but I have visions that come to me,things I have no explinations for,and of late they have been more frightening then ever in my life time of having this special gift.Like I said before"fiction is now reality",you have to wonder when everything will become to much of a strain on the worlds conciousness,the fragile eggshell minds are about to crack,what ever they end up beaming this planet with will blow the fucken tops off of 90% of the heads on this Blue Orb.The PSY-OPs in the 20 first century is about complete,everything is going to take on the new paradigm,all you know,is about to change in front of your eyes,just pray you can tell the difference between the real and the vivdly imagined,for most there is little difference,throw in some SSRI's and it's a no brainer,oh and make sure to grab a big bottle of aspertame to help speed things up.I for one have to believe that LC was a package deal,to many connections to be just chance,MK- ULTRA,the drugs,the groups,the whole mind stream so fucken convenient.These fucks have been at this for a long time,guided by some unseen force,maybe some other dimension is about to be opened with the power of our minds,but then again why should you listen to me for I know nothing,later.
To reach certain depths of mind is truly a changing experience. The relationship between one (you) and many (all others) is very delicate and a deep shift in one seems to produce a deep shift in many. Perhaps it is illusion (isn't every manifest thing so?) but then what is synchronicity but the linking of different mental streams in the river of time?
It is incommunicable. There is a quote from 18th century Tibetan scholar Jikme Linpa that I like: "It is like the copulating of virgins. Having this experience, it is incommunicable."
The problem is stabilizing it. I'll tell you, drugs, natural and otherwise, may give glimpses. Meditation also gives glimpses. The problem is stabilizing it. We're talking about something like jumping into other temporal streams, but I hate to say that because it really can't be conceptualized. A vast goodness shines through that purifies every thought, particle, action, etcetera. It is really amazing.
It ain't evil or luciferian either. A vast goodness. That is the root of reality.
On that note: HAPPY JESUS BIRTHDAY
I have no problem fighting an ultimately evil theology like Christianity. It subjugates people and causes them to hurt other people. Like Islam ("Submission" - the literal translation) and other big bad cults.
There are many pitfalls in the spiritual realm. That's why the concreteness of a creator-god or the solidity of coffee in the morning and a job with Boing or the Air Force can seem so cozy. It seems solid and substantial. It isn't folks.
I will fight Christianity as long as it fights me. I will not submit. Nor will I submit to the nihilistic side of the amoralists and social darwinists and bomb-makers and bomb-throwers.
Life can be so much better without situating oneself in this Manichaen conflict. In reality it does not even exist in name.
This comment has been removed by the author.
Dr. B., while I appreciate the sentiment, I'm really not trying to sell myself as one of the "good" guys.
I am what I am, as Popeye used to say.
You have my sympathies on your mentally challenged family member. Not because he/she is mentally challenged, but because eventually his/her care-givers will die, and unless you have some kind of familial chain to pass along the care-giver responsibilities, your mentally challenged family member will end up in an institution just like where I work. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
To be fair about my story, I don't, in the least, blame D's Mom for not showing. I could think of many, very good reasons, why she didn't show. I do blame management, who organized and hosted the party, and who didn't have the sense and simple manners to include him in the party to cushion his emotional slapdown.
To also be fair, most of those excluded didn't appear to care that they were excluded.
The one other guy was someone we call Boo-Boo, who really loves to eat. I imagine he'd eat till his stomach burst if we let him.
He sat, strapped in his chair, going through his normal roster of pathetic tricks to gain the attention of anyone passing by with a cookie.
As he began to realize that none of them were working he got this trapped panicky animal look of total desperation on his face.
I'm really not the sadistic type Doc, but if I were going to dream up a torture for old Boo-Boo, that would have been it.
There's nothing like an Xmas party catered by the Marquis de Sade to put one in a festive holiday spirit, eh?
As far as what I have to witness goes, it may all be a moot point soon since there's probably a 50-50 chance I will be terminated for "sleeping" even though I've never, in 16+ years, been accused of napping at the switch.
I'm no longer sure that I care, one way or the other.
Most Christians understand as much about the teachings of Jesus as lawyers understand about justice, or most musicians understand about music. There’s only one way to get where you need to go, and you’re the only one who knows. The more you rely on technique, the less chance you have. Take any advice from specialists with a generous fistful of salt, and the more people who agree with you, the more salt you’re going to need. Drugs may be used to break down the structures formed by our reliance on structure, but they are no substitute for the real thing, which we all possess. Temporary access to that state may be a buzz and may even help construct a new road map, but as our Anonymous friend states – the problem is stabilizing it. I’d add – and working with it. The work is really an essential part of it.
Furthermore - A vast goodness. That is the root of reality. I like that, because that’s what I’ve noticed, too, and it doesn’t get said enough in my opinion.
And Shame – glad you made it from the Caves to the frozen Corn Belt – hope you’ll be putting some stuff up soon.
Peace and joy to all, all year round.
VATICAN CITY – Pope Benedict XVI celebrated Christmas Midnight Mass early Thursday by sending out an appeal for children who are abused, forced to live on the street or serve as soldiers.
In the splendor of St. Peter's Basilica, Benedict marked the birth of Jesus with a call to the faithful to help children who are denied the love of their parents and those who are exploited across the world.
"The Child of Bethlehem summons us once again to do everything in our power to put an end to the suffering of these children," he said.
Delivering his homily in Italian, Benedict recalled the plight of "street children who do not have the blessing of a family home, of those children who are brutally exploited as soldiers and made instruments of violence, instead of messengers of reconciliation and peace."
He also spoke of minors who are "victims of the industry of pornography and every other appalling form of abuse, and thus are traumatized in the depths of their soul."
The pope did not specifically mention the issue of lawsuits and other complaints brought in the United States and elsewhere by Catholics who allege they were sexually abused by priests when they were youngsters.
Stop it, Father!!!!

The belief that good and evil does not exist is an ancient one. When a man rapes a boy against his will is this not good or not bad? It just is? I think that the responsibility of deeming the actions of others as being good or bad can be difficult. When I refuse to admit the existence of good or evil it opens a door of endless possibilities that I can use in my life. When I refuse to pay someone back money I owe them it is not evil or good. It is being irresponsible. Since I feel that being irresponsible is acceptable I can use thousands of excuses to have my own way. It does not matter because I have chosen to be irresponsible. If the person to whom I owe money to claims that it is evil of me to refuse to pay him/or her they are wrong and must radically change. I simply do not have to pay the money back. This is called freewill. It is not evil it is my own will. Since I have decided this I also have decided that good and evil does not exist. So when other people behave in this fashion it is only relative. It cannot be part of reality only fantasy and since the ones who have been betrayed consider the robbery to be evil they are wrong and the thieves are justified in their actions. Because the lenders have been abused and believe that it is evil to deny payment means that they are hypocrites. Their error is clear. No evil or good is what we need to accept. I do as I please and keep my mind free from responsibility I will be far better off. Why should I be mature and behave responsibly? An utterly foolish thing.
COVINA, Calif. – Stinging from an acrimonious divorce, a man plotting revenge against his ex-wife dressed up like Santa, went to his former in-laws' Christmas Eve party and slaughtered at least six people before killing himself hours later.
Three people were listed as missing after Bruce Pardo's rampage — his ex-wife and her parents — and it was feared their remains were among the ashes of the home, which Pardo set ablaze using a bizarre homemade device that sprayed flammable liquid.
Pardo, 45, had no criminal record and no history of violence, according to police, but he was angry following last week's settlement of his divorce after a marriage that lasted barely a year.
"It was not an amicable divorce," police Lt. Pat Buchanan said.
The massacre began when an 8-year-old girl answered Pardo's knock at the door. Pardo, carrying what appeared to be a large present, pulled out a handgun and shot her in the face, then began shooting indiscriminately as about 25 partygoers tried to flee, police said.
A 16-year-old girl was shot in the back, and a 20-year-old woman broke her ankle when she escaped by jumping from a second-story window. Those two, and the 8-year-old, remained hospitalized Christmas Day.
The gift-wrapped box Pardo was carrying actually contained a pressurized homemade device he used to spray a liquid that quickly sent the house up in flames, police said.
When the fire was extinguished early Thursday, officers found three charred bodies in the living room area.
"They were met with a scene that was just indescribable," police Chief Kim Raney said. Investigators found three more bodies amid the ashes later in the day.
None of the dead or missing have been identified.
Following the shootings, Pardo quickly got out of the Santa suit and drove off, witnesses told police. He went to his brother's home about 25 miles away in the Sylmar area of Los Angeles. No one was home, so Pardo let himself in, police said.
Police were called to the home early Thursday, and officers found Pardo dead of a single bullet to the head.

Secret of the Lusitania: Arms find challenges Allied claims it was solely a passenger ship
By Sam Greenhill
Last updated at 1:16 AM on 20th December 2008
Her sinking with the loss of almost 1,200 lives caused such outrage that it propelled the U.S. into the First World War.
But now divers have revealed a dark secret about the cargo carried by the Lusitania on its final journey in May 1915.
Munitions they found in the hold suggest that the Germans had been right all along in claiming the ship was carrying war materials and was a legitimate military target.
Lusitania
Doomed: A contemporary view of the sinking of the Lusitania off Ireland in May 1915
The Cunard vessel, steaming from New York to Liverpool, was sunk eight miles off the Irish coast by a U-boat.
Maintaining that the Lusitania was solely a passenger vessel, the British quickly accused the 'Pirate Hun' of
slaughtering civilians.
The disaster was used to whip up anti-German anger, especially in the U.S., where 128 of the 1,198 victims came from.
A hundred of the dead were children, many of them under two.
Robert Lansing, the U.S. secretary of state, later wrote that the sinking gave him the 'conviction we would ultimately become the ally of Britain'.
Americans were even told, falsely, that German children were given a day off school to celebrate the sinking of the Lusitania.
The disaster inspired a multitude of recruitment posters demanding vengeance for the victims.
One, famously showing a young mother slipping below the waves with her baby, carried the simple slogan 'Enlist'.
Two years later, the Americans joined the Allies as an associated power - a decision that turned the war decisively against Germany.
The diving team estimates that around four million rounds of U.S.-manufactured Remington .303 bullets lie in the Lusitania's hold at a depth of 300ft.
The Germans had insisted the Lusitania - the fastest liner in the North Atlantic - was being used as a weapons ship to break the blockade Berlin had been trying to impose around Britain since the outbreak of hostilities in August 1914.
[Bush's close relative] Winston Churchill, who was first Lord of the Admiralty and has long been suspected of knowing more about the circumstances of the attack than he let on in public, wrote in a confidential letter shortly before the sinking that some German submarine attacks were to be welcomed.
He said: 'It is most important to attract neutral shipping to our shores, in the hope especially of embroiling the U.S. with Germany.
'For our part we want the traffic - the more the better and if some of it gets into trouble, better still.'
Hampton Sides, a writer with Men's Vogue in the U.S., witnessed the divers' discovery.
He said: 'They are bullets that were expressly manufactured to kill Germans in World War I - bullets that British officials in Whitehall, and American officials in Washington, have long denied were aboard the Lusitania.'
The discovery may help explain why the 787ft Lusitania sank within 18 minutes of a single German torpedo slamming into its hull.
Some of the 764 survivors reported a second explosion which might have been munitions going off.
Gregg Bemis, an American businessman who owns the rights to the wreck and is funding its exploration, said: 'Those four million rounds of .303s were not just some private hunter's stash.
'Now that we've found it, the British can't deny any more that there was ammunition on board. That raises the question of what else was on board.
'There were literally tons and tons of stuff stored in unrefrigerated cargo holds that were dubiously marked cheese, butter and oysters.
'I've always felt there were some significant high explosives in the holds - shells, powder, gun cotton - that were set off by the torpedo and the inflow of water. That's what sank the ship.'
Mr Bemis is planning to commission further dives next year in a full-scale forensic examination of the wreck off County Cork.

[Story left out that Franklin Delano Roosevelt was Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Navy at that moment as well. Later, in WWII, Churchill and FDR would work out how to get the Japanese to attack Pearl Harbor. Two 'giants' of self-hit terrorism repeating their WWI success in WWII. More information on the FDR angle is in the book Shadows of Power (about the CFR).
Can't wait to read the book - hopefully before Götterdämmerung. Cheers Jeff.

An anonymous one is trying to wax philosophic on morality. Good and evil? Right and wrong? It is indeed an ancient question.
But all the answers are obvious (most of them, I guess). It is a health issue. This is one of my things and it is becoming more and more of a thing and I will repeat it until I die. Right and wrong is a health issue.
Health is life and vitality, beauty and prosperity.
It is not always easy to do the right, healthy thing, but we must strive for health.
Health is a social issue. Should we legislate health? I don't think we should stop another person from harming their own health, as long as they don't adversely affect the health of another. That makes sense, right?
Damn, I'm so American. I mean, I totally hold the Amendements to the Constitution as self-evident. It is not even a question to me that I should speak my mind, and do so without fear.
It is a healthy thing.
Question religion.
"God is a human concept. God is the name we give to our belief that life has meaning, one that transcends the world’s chaos, randomness and cruelty. To argue about whether God exists or does not exist is futile. The question is not whether God exists. The question is whether we concern ourselves with, or are utterly indifferent to, the sanctity and ultimate transcendence of human existence. God is that mysterious force—and you can give it many names as other religions do—which works upon us and through us to seek and achieve truth, beauty and goodness. God is perhaps best understood as our ultimate concern, that in which we should place our highest hopes, confidence and trust."

Most refreshing commentary - thanks indeed.
My respects, and with my best wishes for your continued and increasingly contagious good health.

“Most Christians understand as much about the teachings of Jesus as lawyers understand about justice, or most musicians understand about music. There’s only one way to get where you need to go, and you’re the only one who knows. The more you rely on technique, the less chance you have.”
This from; http://www.rigorousintuition.ca/board/viewtopic.php?t=20664&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=leo+kotke&start=30
. “ Or let’s look at the process of learning or playing music as an analogy. Many can become technically adept while never really connecting to substance within the sound. I remember listening to Leo Kotke on the Mike Douglas Show, (1970ish). He played an original composition on a twelve-string guitar. It sounded like mush to me. Then, much to my surprise, five years later at university I found that many people thought highly of Leo. So I put up posters to pay for the ticket and went to hear Leo at Hill Auditorium. Perhaps I was negatively predisposed but I swear it sounded like Leo had Arthritis rather than music in his hands. While he was quite good technically, there was no 'floor' underneath his playing. After no more than ten minutes my stomach started turning and I had to exit my tenth row center seat.
I came to believe that because people’s attention is directed so much at the form, that little awareness is directed at understanding the substance (or essence) that creates the reason for the form in the first place. We are programmed through accepted limits created by our forms of expression……”
More Fruc.
“Take any advice from specialists with a generous fistful of salt, and the more people who agree with you, the more salt you’re going to need.”
Hey Fruc., I started a thread over at the gen disc. board called; The Virus of Intellect (Should have been called The Virus within Intellect); http://www.rigorousintuition.ca/board/viewtopic.php?t=21889
Where I am asserting a distinction between ‘natural’ intelligence and ‘forced’ or in-formed intelligence while implying that because we spend all our time in the world of in-formed intelligence we forget that our imagination can display intelligence not limited by accepted forms.
This may also interest anon 8:14 because if takes off on an article by Chris Hedges.
I am ‘celebrating’ by re-reading “The Gifts of the Jews” by Thomas Cahill yesterday and Beyond Belief by Elaine Pagels today. Cavell, (I would say) points out that Abraham, by listening to the voice and going out from Uruk, started a process whereby God became a source of conscience rather than a force of nature. Abraham started an argument with God that has never finished. And then Elaine shows me how Irenaeus hunted down ‘enthusiasts’ of the vertical path in order that imagination may be frozen into orthodoxy.
Happy err.. Longer Days
Sounder, have you ever read Julian Jayne's The Origin of Consciousness and the the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind?
While his theories have been somewhat derided, the book is a compelling read. His take is that the "voices of the Gods" were really the brain's right half chatting with its left half before the development of the Corpus Callosum.
He points out that schizophrenics often report that the voices they hear appear to come from external reality much like "God's voice" appears to come from external reality when heard by the religiously inclined.
Belliosto said...
To manipulate individuals to harm themselves is not considered healthy. Ingesting certain neuroleptics cause individuals to hear voices and when these voices appear it is a confirmation that the person is unhealthy. Also removing the neuroleptic from the person's body can cause extreme reactions. Reactions that never occur in the person's behavior separate from withdrawal of the medicine. Scientific studies that focus on the withdrawal of Prozac and other psychotropics from the body have proved that withdrawal from certain types of neuroleptics cause violent uncharacteristic behavior in a small minority of individuals in these researches. These people are caught on the news and reported on as being mentally ill and it is their illness not the withdrawal of the medication that has caused them to behave as a criminal. They kill a relative or burn down their home, etc.. because they have stopped taking their meds. So families make sure that any relative who has been diagnosed as mentally ill takes their medication. The withdrawal from the psychotropic being the root cause of the violence is never reported.
To be brief the permanent brain damage caused by lysergic acid makes one see voices and hear colors. People have learned how to live their lives normally again by consciously making adjustments in how they perceive the world around them. I've read that it takes years to be able to do this effectively. Individuals maliciously harm others in the name of science or health. If this is confusing you I recommend watching the Academy Award winning movie "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest." Remember how Billy Bibbit lost his stutter after sleeping with a woman then begins to stutter again after the head nurse threatens to narc to his mother about it. When discussing the health of individuals we can look at the institutional influences and find numerous examples of mainstream therapies being the very cause of illness.

Wow! So interesting. My mind is addicted to intellectual thrills - the kind that maybe coincide with your own beliefs and confirm your version of reality, or maybe the kind that raises your hackles and gets the blood pumping for a good argument.
This is where the cool kids hang out, right? Like smoking under the bleachers or sitting in detention? Shit, it's the Breakfast Club all over agin.
JAD speaks science. I like science. I am, however, not my brain. I know this. (knowledge=gnosis=scientia=perception=reason=evidence=experimentation=experience - you get it.)
Sounder is addicted to ideas. Sounder, what is knowledge without concepts? Have you ever (in this life memory) beheld knowledge without ideas? It's trippy dude. You should try it.
Bellisto goes on about some kind of conspiracy to drug the population. That story is probably half true. Looks like cocaine worked a lot better than LSD. You are familiar with the idea that religion comes from plant chemicals acting on the brain, yes? I like that idea.
It is a big big universe nested in an omniverse. Wheee!!!!!
Neuro-anthropology is a great field. On a trip when I was young I conceived that my internal dialogue started with the voices of Mother and Father talking to each other around my sleeping baby body. If you "yoga" this idea to ttraditional yoga, you will hit on that gender dichotomy which is so basic to life, thinking, and emotions.
Weird, isn't it? BTW air is flowing through my left nostril now but it is changing over to the right.

Bel, Bel, Belli, Bellio, Belliosto has tried to say...
anon 6:40 thanks for your post. It has made me think of the aphrodisiacs that are applied to sex goddess worship and how this adds to the religious experience and how herbs are used throughout history as a welcomed accompaniment to all kinds of experiences including healing. I think that we all question authority, religion, abilities, and the like. It's in our nature to do this. It is unnatural to not question. For example most of us question the honesty of the automobile mechanic when our cars need repair work. This questioning does not mean that we will gain knowledge of auto-mechanics though. An individual who questions the honesty or ability of a mechanic in his work on cars may or may not be interested in auto mechanics as a career. The individual may or may not be aspiring to be a certified auto mechanic. Another example is the fact that I have failed college trigonometry and critique trig to my hearts content without having knowledge of it or motivation to gain knowledge of it. My personal experience of failing trigonometry is the root of my questioning it's authority. I will simply dislike trigonometry until I am buried. Any truths involving this study is besides the point.
The profoundest riddles of the world have often remained concealed, not because of their great intricacy, but because of their exceeding simplicity.
-Czolbe.
Too much thinking, Bellisimo.
What is separate? What is divided?
I have tears in my eyes because of memories of a woman.
Perfect.
Belliosto, I must respectfully disagree with your LSD assessment.
I've logged upwards of 100+ LSD trips in my life, yet I've never heard voices or hallucinated once the trip wore off. I enjoyed LSD quite a lot when I was a youngster. Good trips, bad trips, didn't matter, all were quite interesting.
I think the real problem with modern hallucinogenic dabbling is that modern man, unlike traditional users of mind altering substances, has no substantive reality paradigm
that encompasses and explains his hallucinogenic experiences.
To most of my compadres it was just another high. Something to do for kicks or something that helped them drink more booze. That, to me, is a really good recipe for disaster.
You should give Rick Strassman's book, DMT: The Spirit Molecule, a try. His theory is that since DMT is a naturally occurring substance in our pineal gland, this is the drug that our body is flooded with during NDE, religious experiences, birth, etc.
He mentions that DMT shows up in the pineal gland 49 days after conception. This is also about the time that sexual differentiation occurs. He also points out that 49 days is the time frame mentioned in the Tibetan Book of the Dead whereby the freshly dead spirit wanders before it is reincarnated into a new vessel.
While none of this "proves" anything, it is still a very interesting read that gives much food for thought.
"Something to do for kicks or something that helped them drink more booze.'
That's what told me you been there. Christ, I smell bacon everywhere lately and it ain't even breakfast.

Weirdo geniuses feel color, taste sounds, and look at ideas. Synesthesia is a profound mark of a different kind of brain. Perhaps the kind that religion and mathematics came from.

"These men suffered a loss of their own masculinity," Roberta Pughe says, "so they have taken on this extreme form of masculine power, the power to oppress and to dominate. On the extreme end of the masculine continuum, it is the oppressive force that kills, that destroys. There is no room for anything else. Everything else is a threat. Children are a threat. Homosexuality is a threat because it embraces a feminine, nurturing side between men. All power has to be concentrated at the top and be destructive.
"The goal of the movement is to create a theocracy, but they must dominate women first to keep the system in place," Pughe says, the late afternoon light spilling into the windows of her office. "They want to have one nation under God, based on their view of God and their interpretation of the rules that this particular God puts in place. They are doing this underground. They have huge networks. They are deeply connected, and they're connecting with people who have lots of money and lots of power, and these people are very smart and very savvy. They know how to put forward a public front that hides the private agenda. They have found a niche to be heard, to provide something. They run home Bible studies. They offer people a sense of belonging and connection. They know the family's falling apart. The divorce rate is high. Families are in flux. Roles are in flux. Men and women are trying to figure out what we're doing together. And the church is filling the niche, providing the extended family. There is no extended family, so the church is providing it for these people. Their ticket to power is family values. That's the hook. People are hungry for that. But with this church family comes the imposition of an extreme male power structure. First, they use this power structure to control the family, then the church, and finally the nation."

Sounds like a cultic conspiracy to control our brains and the world itself, Dick.
My *new improved* view of "thee conspiracy" is that there are two groups; like the good Masons and the bad Masons or something. Like Star Wars EP III.
I still cry everytime Anakin goes up in flames.
Geez anony, what isn't a cultic conspiracy?
Practically every job has a management hierarchy that behaves exactly like a cultic conspiracy.
In my mind, those who can, do, those who can't, supervise.
My first experience with management at my current job came when I exited the living area to cop a smoke and came upon the shift supervisor with his back pressed up against the wall, just outside the door, eavesdropping on everything we said.
I thought, "Wow, that's fucking weird. And, Goddammit, that's pretty fucking creepy.
Only one small step separates that mentality from warrantless wiretaps.
My second experience of any note came from this hot, young supervisor they hired who, for some strange reason, liked us waaaaaaaaaaaay fucking better than her management compatriots.
She used to attend management meetings and then tell us every detail.
My personal fav was the way they ended meetings. The Director would chant "Remember, we must keep the management circle closed. Never let the workers into our circle."
At that point I knew promotion up the corporate step ladder was seriously out of the question because I would, without a doubt, pee myself laughing if I had to say or listen to something so inane.
Not to mention weird.
& creepy.

One of the central lies of techno-spirituality is that it creates individual freedom. So cars are better than mass transit; PCs are better than main frames -- say in parallel computing. Yet the key difference between technology in the East (traditionally) and in the West is that the starting with the Greek Miracle, the techology was inherently linked to property rights and a structural trajectory of mathematics. This triumvirate package is the means of imperialism yet the West relies on the mind-control of the "cult of the personality." Corporations are the only true persons in the West. In fact technology is imposed on the public through top-down"control" that optimizes mass ritual sacrifice, occurring on the periphery of the empire. So we HAVE to check our email everyday. Cellphones HAVE to cause cancer and can be traced down to location via satellite, and yet the key ingredient coltan has driven the genocidal death of 5.5. million in the Congo since 1994. More and more people are getting microchipped for their "safety." So we HAVE to rely on the concept of "self" as defined in left-brain dominant phonetic language, the tautological, symmetric axiom of God as the foundation of mathematical logic: I Am that I Am.

Well I was reading Steve Pinker's "The Stuff of Thought" last night. He critiques and also incorporates Lakoff (another featured language theorist on GNN). Pinker also singles out the Middle East crisis as a linguistic error stating withdraw from "terrorities" without detailing the qualifier "all" or "some." Finally Pinker states that the best means to counter a veiled threat (hidden by indirect language) is to just ignore it by not being available -- avoiding eye contact, or to add my own: going into yogic samadhi. Language itself is rooted in what's called Darwinian Deception -- just read Professor Chris Knight in London -- his forthcoming book is called "The Human Conspiracy."
Well, it's a big segue from GGG's posts, though I just finished a 30 minute interview via webcast audio about the bioregional state.

Nothing like an economic crunch to help me realize my dream of a United Garlic Eaters of Pottersville.
ST. PAUL, Minn. – Minnesota is deep in the hole financially, but the state still owns a premier golf resort, a sprawling amateur sports complex, a big airport, a major zoo and land holdings the size of the Central American country of Belize.
Valuables like these are in for a closer look as 44 states cope with deficits.
Like families pawning the silver to get through a tight spot, states such as Minnesota, New York, Massachusetts and Illinois are thinking of selling or leasing toll roads, parks, lotteries and other assets to raise desperately needed cash.
Mark looks like you're moving to Iowa for your pottersville kick:

Belliosto said...
I Am That I Am almost was stoned to death for announcing this about himself by the religious authorities in the Jerusalem area according to the ancient literary material about him. I Am That I Am is defined as a being who exists from days of old since the days of eternity.
According to I Am That I Am there should not be any poor people in the land. If a poor person is present there is no reason to harden one's heart and shut him out. The reality is that you should give freely and lend him enough for his need in all that he wants. That people should not die as a result of being poor.
GGG your point is understood. The understanding of who I Am That I Am is clear in the ancient literary material. The I Am That I Am who is not well liked is also understood in the literary material. For the most part he is disliked. So the religious authorities prefer to treat the poor class as dependents on civil authority. A class of lesser ranked people to control. They do not appreciate assisting the poor automatically as to enable them to be equal with their peers and liberated from the burdens of being homeless and penniless. All people are to assist the poor so as they are no poor in the land.
The I Am That I Am that is used in GGG's context is the ones who want all the money that should go to assist in the leveling out of the poor as a constant work done. Instead they use money for their own needs and work with economic monopolies that actually cause a substantial number of poor people to exist. That the very existence of monopolies is understood by the ancients as being the chief reason that a poor class is present. This explanation could be explained by an agnostic, an atheist, a secularist, etc... who has done the work involved to understand what this literary material is saying. Not necessarily from a self appointed preacher of God.
You will not hear this element talked about much in christian circles and another reason why you should be wary when people claim to represent I Am That I Am. You may get oppression and forced agendas instead. Not knowledge based on ancient writers literary works. I am sure that some readers feel uncomfortable because someone knows about this writing. Attack and oppress to your hearts content. Nobody can stop you from doing this.
just another dick I got my information from the February 1990 OMNI magazine's article AFTER LIGHTS by Steve Nadis. The first sentence mentions the 1984 paper titled "Adverse Reactions to Psychedelics" written by Richard Strassman. He offered a cautionary note about flashbacks, fragmentary, unexpected recurrences of a past hallucinogenic experience. He writes about these experiences as being refered to as 'free trips.' The article continues with the experiences of patients treated for post-LSD symptoms, such as seeing dots, trails, flashes of color, intensified colors, positive and negative afterimages, or halos; geometric pseudohallucinations; and false perceptions of motion in the peripheral field.
The article continues with Havard Medical School psychiatrist, Henry Abraham's treatment of more than 100 patients with post-LSD symptoms. Some of these cases have persisted for more than 20 years. It goes on to say Abraham's work realized that flashbacks were not restricted to transient visual or emotional disturbances but were a part of a system of perceptual disorders. As a result of his work, a new syndrome, posthallucinogen perception disorder, is now listed in DSM III-R, the bible of psychiatric ailments.
As you know I was specifically writing about these rare cases. I stressed how these patients are able to overcome the damage that LSD has caused to their brains.
Jeff,

HONOLULU – President-elect Barack Obama's Hawaiian vacation was darkened for 11 hours Friday night and early Saturday when a power outage enveloped the island of Oahu.
Obama, wife Michelle, and daughters Malia and Sasha are staying in a $9 million, five-bedroom oceanfront house near downtown Honolulu. Power to the compound went out around 7 p.m. Friday and was restored just before 6 a.m. Saturday, about the time as that of the neighbors, Obama spokesman Ben LaBolt said.
"The Obama family is grateful for the offers of assistance from local officials," LaBolt said.
Honolulu Mayor Mufi Hannemann said three generators had been installed earlier for Obama's rented compound. A fourth generator sent by Hawaiian Electric Co. was turned away, he said.
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!! I lost $500 worth of food over the summer to Hurricane Whoosh, and the local utility company didn't give a tinker's tit that I did.

Belliosto, you're bumming me out. Now I feel like someone was getting waaaaaaaaaaay better LSD than me. Right about now I could use a good trail laden, dot filled flashback to illuminate this lumpen turd of a reality.
The best I can come up with is stealing an internet version of Psychotic Reaction.
Needless to say, it is one piss poor substitute.
Computers suck, by the way.
All this technology and all this information and none of it is nearly as interesting or enlightening as a good blow job freely given.
As a matter of fact, I'm beginning to think civilization, at least the patriarchal version, was mid-wifed into existence by all the guys who couldn't get any women to blow them. At least without resorting to force or money that is.
I can see it now, up there on the big screen:
PENCIL-DICK, EMPIRE'S DADDY
It could be me, but their apparent congregation around Jesus has more than a hint of the homosexual about it.
Don't you think?
Belliosto said...
Damn and ouch. In my mischievousness I have gone into the extreme. I apologize just another dick. I brought up the research into the after affects of an LSD experience to counter the humor involved with the inadvertent consumption of it by unsuspecting individuals. The slipping one in the teacher's coffee type of comedy. Forgive me for this. My intent was not meant to be malicious.
For whatever it's worth, yeah, I was a full blown party animal in my youth with hardly any regrets about it today. One example of my wild youth behavior, without fear of embarrassment, is my involvement, when very young, with the administration of swirlies. Swirlie as defined by Wikipedia is the act of holding the victim upside down with his or her head in the toilet bowl, and flushing. Typically perpetrated by two or more older, larger individuals. Instances of swirling have been prosecuted in courts. More commonly known as bogwashing in the U.K., or dunnyflushing in Australia. Varients of the swirlie include the brown swirlie (or chunky swirlie) and the yellow swirlie. This was what I was doing in the boys bathroom in the 4th grade. I wasn't partying so much then but maybe you can see how a partying lifestyle fit me. I smoked a lot of dope and consumed all kinds of intoxicants as I matured in my teenage years and beyond. I attended many a keg party and basement party and visited an unnumbered amount of drinking establishments. But yeah you do not know who I am. I could be an twelve year old punk kid typing this.
JAD I think the rallying around anyone or anything has more than a hint of homosexuality to it. The flag, a politician, and/or a community leader. I think this sucks dick in my life. I try my best to put up with it.
The fact that you even remember "Psychotic Reaction" speaks volumes about the quality of your mis-spent youth. That space we nominally call the "cosmic consciousness" was real enough then but now, it's just a beatnik deadspace with no new thing under the sun.
What is new is that the kinder, gentler backhand from the ptb is making it loud and clear that you better watch out, you better not cry...Time's up. It's the writing on the wall for those who have a genetic itch to scratch. If you don't then it's back to MC2. If you do, it's the age of Aquarius which is pouring out everlasting life. One more time.. It's all over but the crying. (or is that the knashing of teeth?)
Belliosto, I didn't take your post as being negative.
Truthfully, I think I have the emotional maturity of a 12 year old punk kid so, if you are, we're even.
Reading American Fascist and finding myself feeling sorry for these right wingers sucked into fascist movements masquerading as religions just because they're lonely and disaffected and afraid.
I really want to hate the fuckers but I can't.
They're just another part of my country that's been dismantled and sold off for pennies on the dollar.
I have this annoying habit of reading a bunch of books simultaneously Belliosto. A chapter here, then a chapter there.
Oddly enough, one can find the oddest resonances between seemingly unrelated books.
For example,
I'm also reading Fernando Pessoa's The Book of Disquiet.
Here's a bit:
"Sadly I write in my quiet room, alone as I have always been, alone as I will always be. And I wonder if my apparently negligible voice might not embody the essence of thousands of voices, the longing for self expression of thousands of lives, the patience of millions of souls resigned like my own to their daily lot, their useless dreams, and their hopeless hopes. In these moments my heart beats faster because I'm conscious of it. I live more because I live on high. I feel a religious force within me, a species of prayer, a kind of public outcry. But my mind quickly puts me in my place..."
Or this:
Inch by inch I conquered the inner terrain I was born with. Bit by bit I reclaimed the swamp in which I'd languished. I gave birth to my infinite being, but I had to wrench myself out of me with forceps."
Right now Belliosto, I've misplaced my damn forceps and my "infinite being" has swamp water up to his nostrils.
Don't really know what else to say.
Anonymous One,Erick,thank you for the confirmation," the duck is in the noose".The folks that run this place have flashed their hand to us,and have gauged the response.This fucken country has been walked into this,by the hand that writes and quickly moves away.Nothing,but useless dribble remains locked in their minds for they have complete control of the sleeping masses.From this point on all bets are off,this is sure getting crazyer by the day,later.P.S. maybe they can now start rebuilding that 3rd temple?

AMen.
Even though I lean a bit further "right" I'm a big enough guy to realize that some on the "left" are as concerned about freedom and justice as I am, even if in some cases their prescriptions differ. Yet if enough people on both "sides" don't wake up and realize we all face the same enemy, we won't even be free to opinionate in cyberspace any more, nor will the imaginary left-right divide, which allows people to feel superior to others, matter either. We'll all be in the prison camps side by side.
And thanks, Mark, for the McGowan material. That guy is brilliant -- okay, maybe not, just an obsessive researcher, sifting through all this stuff and gluing it all together tiny piece by tiny piece. I'm sure it's been mentioned here in the past that McGowan also did a series called "The Pedophocracy." He later included that in his book titled "Programmed to Kill."

Curiouser and and curiouser, down the rabbit hole we go, Alice...
Dear Sounder,
Noooo... it's Kultie. I stopped theorizing for a bit, stopped trying to hear my own voice in the public chatter and had an encounter with an actual experience of a Gnostic Goddess.
Forget brass tacks, here's a thing I'd like to write about:
In "theeKultleeder's korner" at the rigint message board, I copied and pasted an excerpt from the "Dharma Eye" lotsawa (translator) Keith Dowman. There is a term there in that translation; it is "alpha-purity." At the time I thought it was cute and cool, but now I know exactly why he translated it that way.
If you know Tibetan cultural history, you know that their present *syllabary*, and the form of their current language itself, was engineered by medieval Indian Buddhists and learned Tibetans in order to import Indian Buddhism.
Their language was gathered, resolved, reformulated, and instituted in order to transmit the Gnosis of Gnoses. This is way before the Mongolian institution of the Dalai Lamas - several centuries before, during Tibet's greatest Dynastic period.
The first *syllable* in the Tibetan syllabary is "KA," and what some translators say is "pure from the first," and others say is "pure from the primordium" literally translates as "pure from KA."
So you see, "kadag" translates as "alpha-purity."
As an appendix, most modern translators are writing the Indian "jnana" and the Tibetan "yeshes" as gnosis.
Go figure.
There is always individual freedom. If it were not so, morality is annihilated.
This is not to say that certain cycles are understandable. If that were not so, empathy is just a word and compassion is a theater act.
Getting over this re-cycle is paramount. It isn't easy.
Could you imagine being Alex Jones and trying to escape that re-cycle?
Imagine how much harder it is for someone who is suffering in a war zone.
NETUREI KARTA - gives the answer - Moral, Ethical, Spiritual dimension ORTHODOX Judaism asserts quite clearly: If there is to be no Moral, Ethical, Spiritual dimension, then it would be better for all Jewish people to be all spread out in the diaspora and not to return to a homeland where a Moral, Ethical, Spirtual dimension is absent.

Jews for Boycotting Israeli Goods Founding Statement
We are a group of British and Israeli Jews resident in the UK who have come together in this 40th year of the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land to support the Boycott Israeli Goods (BIG) campaign.
http://www.bigcampaign.org/
Why Boycott Israel?
The Palestinian people are experiencing their fortieth year of military occupation. The siege by the Israeli army and the economic blockade have devastated their daily lives so that 'normal' life is impossible.
Israel operates an entrenched system of racial Apartheid against its own non-Jewish inhabitants and has been illegally occupying Palestinian land in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights since 1967.

That's the saddest video I've seen in a long time.
Hey Jeff,
Big fan, been reading for years, and you're my favorite blogger. Your posts are the most thought-provoking of anything I read. I bought your book and I'm looking forward to reading it, and after I'm done with it I'll pass it on to friends. Even though a lot of content might be familiar, it's great I have the old-school print copy of it. I hope things work out well for you in the new year, and my thoughts and best wishes are with you.
I'm not concerned with the conceptual assertions of morality. I am concerned with the natural dimensions of morality.
Anyone can justify anything they want with any idea they can believe in hard enough, or have enough faith in.
That is why I reject *rule-list-morality* There is no list (like the Ten Commandments) that can embody all dimensions of naturally abiding and arising morality. Kant is famous for his Imperative, which is just another stupid absolutist proposition. He said that "because lying is bad, no one should ever lie." A consequence of this is that a person is not allowed to lie, even to save a life.
The natural dimensions of morality do not allow for pragmatism - natural morality is doing what is right in the right place at the right time. "What is right" is defined as that which helps a person or people to have greater mental health and behavioral freedom, along with which should arise a greater knowledge of the moral dimension (defined as a function of "health").
There is no moral health without behavioral freedom.
MORE FOR SOUNDER:
There is about 50 letters in the Sanskrit Syllabary. Some Fierce Buddhist Goddesses are depicted wearing a garland of 50 skulls. This is said to symbolize the exhaustion of the "conceptual collection": a layer of delusion and unenlightenment.
It makes so much sense: in the classic Middle Way analysis every supposed solid "thing" can be broken down into component parts, thus proving that there never was any such solid "thing." If you break down ideas into phonemes and letters, then it is seen that every compound idea has no true existence. This is the meaning of emptiness or shunyata. Like SHU-NYA-TA. Just phonemes.
The conceptual collection is just the chance collection of genes or what have you - not ultimate, born and so subject to destruction, like a reflection of the stars and planets in a body of water, like a song sung by fairies in twilight.
The conceptual collection is action-reactive (karmic) vision. It is certainly real on a relative level, but relativity is trumped by that which does not depend upon causes and conditions: the unproduced, unborn, not subject to time and entropy, like a clear empty autumn sky, like empty space. Where would that begin and where would that end?
Mmmmm... Have you heard of the Perfection of Wisdom Teachings? The Goddess Prajnaparamita? "Emptiness is form, form is not other than emptiness"?
The Perfection of Wisdom in one line is:
"a"
This is because the "a" sound is within every other phoneme, like an English Schwa. In Sanskrit, "a" is voiced in every syllable: KA, NYA, GA, SHA, etc.
It is said that this special "a," the essence of interdependent relationship, the essence of emptiness, is present in every thing. It is only modified somehow by its neighboring consonants.
Medieval Indian linguists are still influential in the modern study of language - even in computer languages! This Buddhist discourse on the meaning of reality and concepts of reality arises from this excellent tradition.

I think most of you believe me when I say that I live in Kamloops, British Columbia and that I work as a receiver for a grocery store. I preface my remarks so that I don't leave the impression that I am privy to insider information. I'm not. I base my knowledge on experience in the real world and my intuition. When I link a website here or on my own blogs, it's because the site resonates with me and I pass it along because it resonates on many levels. The link provided is the scary shit that nobody wants to here. But if it isn't aired than it will forever be lost in the ether of time. Of particular interest is the comments section.

Dear ericswan,
What a stupid reality bubble.
*sigh*
Your links are weird and sad. I hope you can get over it.
Truth is in you, not of you or thought of you.
anon 3:58 please, do go on.
Thanks TKL for your efforts. I do appreciate your criticism of me as being an idea-addict. I am quite happy to be tethered to this realm and my re-working of forms relates to this world, rather than any transcendent vision. I value Abraham, Galileo, and Spinoza because they applied their vision to real world changing engagement, between form and reality. I may not care for the results, but these folks at least produced external results from their inner vision.
My model is the result of asking the question; Independent of preconceptions, what is (the true nature of) reality? Of course, the answer is too strange to relate, but when distilled to form ten years later, it came out as; the manifest expression reflects the balance between order and liberty within consciousness, and that all understanding is mediated through form.
My story has been marked by a deep skepticism from an early age. My father was angry and frustrated at not being able to tell truth from lies. He blamed the military and the media. He said they would put out several truths in a row, and then pop in a lie at the end, thereby scrambling his brain.
So I set out to make up my own model for reality. When the time came for me to be introduced to my first child, I had already given much thought to the possibilities within this new life. For both the new person’s life and the quite new stage in the life of my partner the child and me. The model centered on a notion that the proper balance between order and liberty changes with different levels of consciousness. So that while the very young child needs clear directions and consistent boundary conditions, the older child needs to learn the power of their own creative potential. Yet what I saw among my liberal and conservative friends alike was tone deafness in regards to the changing nature of the minds of their children.
It would seem then that my ‘liberal’ friends were more negligent than nurturing. Perhaps they were caught up by the notion that they would not be as ‘piggish’ as their parents were. They, their parents, and my conservative friends suffer from bad timing.
The ‘degenerate form of the strict father family is a cruel absolute authoritarianism’, yes and it is so easy to go there. Many seem to forget that the young person is best raised so as to be able to function without lifelong coddling. The ‘strict father’ does not seem to know when to stop with the strong authority bit. He gets drunk on power.
The objective here is practical rather than otherworldly; it is to reduce or stop the propagation of trauma. Both salvationists and self-abnegationists are trying to impose their self-image protecting beliefs on reality. Reality will cure both tendencies of their pretences.

Another President Bush?
Perhaps so, says former President George H.W. Bush, who has already seen one son, George W., serve in the Oval Office. The nation's 41st president said Sunday that he would like to see a second son, Jeb, be president one day.
congrats an the book coverage Jeff and all, but way to kill rigint with this thread.
you posted the advert of your book signing the day of your signing so nobody could make it anyway. post a new post already.
keep rigint alive.
I meant resurrect, because, respectfully this blog is dead.
This is such a great time to be going deeper into what's happening NOW rather than basking in your geniusness, Jeff.
Like Obama pages part 2...
or something, anything about the ongoing Gaza attacks.
Love to hear your take on something again.
(I'm pretty sure you won't read this or respond to it and i hope that you post something real soon to make me look like a hater)
w.v. trenical
Many would just rather ignore Gaza...
Phillip Dick once hypothesized that the Roman Empire never fell. Dick believed that we are all perpetually trapped in an illusion of modernity that obfuscates the reality that we are still living in Jesus' time. All of us suffering under the cruel reign of The Black Iron Prison, Dick's catch all phrase denoting repression in its varied forms.
Traditionalists would find Dick's belief ludicrous. Their particular hallucination envisions a lost golden age that we are continually devolving away from.
Me, I think humanity, for the most part, is trapped in an endless tape loop that dooms them to replay the same sad and sorry tune over and over and over.......
Of course, this is painting with a very wide brush. No doubt there are people everywhere who have chosen to hack their own nervous system and disable the tape loop. They are revolutionaries of a more personal kind.
But, once the bombs fall, all of this becomes irrelevant.
In the end, warfare paints with the widest brush of all.
It reduces all intent and morality and wisdom to little more than the empty lowing of not yet slaughtered meat.
It demeans us all.
And all the shopping trips and faux holiday cheer and "gee ain't we great" back slapping will not heal this self inflicted wound.
What Israel is doing in Gaza we engaged in just as gleefully in Iraq.
We're murderers with endless credit and a limitless ability to disassociate ourselves from the consequences of our own narcissism. We are lied to quite regularly and, most often, quite badly, yet we wallow in these lies, preferring the lie to any any hint of a mirror. If we are conspired against, we are willing dupes, a grifter's delight. We've become a nation of Hydes, convinced that we're really nice humane Dr. Jekylls.
I don't think old Robert Louis had a potion to counteract that one.
Rabelais might have solved your problem Dick.. Phillip was doing hard time in his quip that Jesus is here and now. Frankly speaking, 2,000 years is just not that far back in universal processes. If I had a gripe it's the concept of "the big bang theory". The thought of it is so ludicrous it's enough to make anyone head for Pantegreul.
Personally Eric, I'm more of a believer in the Big Shart Theory. This is the one where the universe was inadvertently created when God thought he was pushing out gas but got some solids in the mix.
Hence the universe of dingleberry was born.
It also explains why shit always seems to happen here.
Why everyday is a shitty one.
And why humanity constantly finds itself in deep shit.
In other words, we are all the product of some bad celestial burritos.
Some authors publish to foment others to think as the start of something.
Some authors publish to remove their inner demons that they don't want to revisit. To burn it out of themselves, in a grand summation after which they have little interest in revisiting these demons. (I remember Jeff writing a while back he was 'really starting to enjoy cleaning off his porch while he procrastinates on his book, and he hates to clean off his porch.')
Which is Jeff?
I think Jeff was the former in earlier parts of this blog though in the past two years it's been pretty much "let's get to the finish line and be done with it, I've got a porch to clean."
Fair enough. It's Jeff's life. I'm sure Jeff has been staring at the abyss for some time now and it has started to stare back into him more and more.
If Jeff does continue the blog, one suggestion:
I think one of the intellectual and analytic handicaps of Jeff is his incision of all aspects of occult Zionism/Judaism in European history or the very obvious world power dynamics linking US/UK/Israel as global three-state hegemon attempts. (I write this as U.S. just protected Israel with a U.N. veto, to keep Israel from security council censure for its completely brutal illegal attack on Gaza's civilians, mosques, etc., with white phosphorous and depleted uranium--which is a form of ethnic cleansing. "Never again" I guess meant "never again (to us)".
It's important to tread carefully to avoid the very real anti-Semitic motivations of many authors, though hell, the founders of the state of Israel were anti-Semitic. They were secularists and terrorists (Irgun) and disliked their own religious Jews (even bombing their own in Iran to 'encourage' them to move to Israel; irradiating others in their own 1950s Nazi style eugenic cleansing of non-European Jews
Deliberate EUGENIC RADIATION POISONING of 100,000+ Sephardi/Yemeni by Israel/U.S. in 1950s
http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2004/08/295000.shtml
)
, so what gives?
In the interests of a fair record of the abyss, these things require open hopefully dispassionate analysis for their connection to the 'high weirdness' portrayed here.
It is not good to refuse to touch the 'third rail' of modern occult politics. Addressing reality demands it, or Jeff's just written a parapolitical novel.
I fear many anonymous people would chime in with anti-Semitism, though is that any rationale for neglecting a very real part of the parapolitical and political arrangement of the world at present?
Jewish aspects were very close to all of Occult European movements, particularly the kabbalistic diagrams firmly implanted across London in the post 1666 fire; or later somewhat in Paris [cite: Talisman, by Hancock and Bauval]. Christian Kabbalism was all the rage of many political elites of 'early modern' Europe, particularly from the Dutch areas where religious freedom was first allowed in Central and Northern Europe's very hideously anti-Jewish mindset. Spain/Portugal very different...
The Sabbeteans (a Jewish false prophet and his seriously inbred families of wife-swapping coreligionists who made it a point to infiltrate other religious 'containers') still resound in modern parapolitical history after 300 years.
[lol==>] the way I feel that this post will be treated by Jeff--just bounce off.

Fine suggestions. Lets see

that shit is happening so fast that
by the time you post, events could
have superseded the content of the

Dear Sounder,
Of course I freely criticize people when the repercussions of such public interpersonal judgements are close to zero. Perhaps this is a good thing.
While I admire the revelations of your process, I dare to note the same deficiencies that sparked my original from-the-hip pronouncement.
Within the mass of words I could find a few meanings. What I take from it is that you are concerned with mental models or cognitive maps, and that you have observed the efficacy of these things in your progeny. I agree with your lucid view of the necessity to make such things adaptable; however, I must make explicit my current understanding that these "things" called cognitive models are ultimately unsatisfying, and it is quite an experience to become "unaddicted" to them - even for a moment.
There is, as in all fine things, a paradox: adapting your models to a view of shunyata may bring about the extinction of the models of shunyata. This is why sustained contemplation is crucial; the person who wishes to cognize truth must abandon the desire to cognize truth in the exploration of truth.
"Otherworldly" could translate "Nirvana" in some senses. I like it, because there is a handy rejoinder: "Re-Cyclic experience is not different from Perfect Peace," or, "Samsara is non-dual with Nirvana." This is a decidedly Mahayana formulation, but one which is light-years ahead of "Buddha goes *poof* in Nirvana."
The world does not cease after Final Gnosis. That is why Gnostic Heroes and Heroines abide.
I am amusing myself because "Samsara is Nirvana" is the central mystery - and though I have glimpsed it, it is not real for me. But it is a nice model.
Get it, pal?
Love,

Y'see Doc, I'm trying to stay on the 'don't be insulting' wagon, but I sometimes find myself jonesing for a good fight. So I tried to pick one with myself. Didn't work though. I think I'm on to me.
This may be a bit too schizo for you Doc, but in a world where this happens:
TOLEDO, Ohio – Joe The Plumber is putting down his wrenches and picking up a reporter's notebook.
The Ohio man who became a household name during the presidential campaign says he is heading to Israel as a war correspondent for the conservative Web site pjtv.com.
Samuel J. Wurzelbacher (WUR'-zuhl-bah-kur) says he'll spend 10 days covering the fighting.
He tells WNWO-TV in Toledo that he wants to let Israel's "'Average Joes' share their story."
mental illness is, in my opinion, ones only defense.
I think my next move will involve a trip to Wal-Mart where I'll wet myself while spouting odes to Kennedy's missing brain.
It seemed to work for this Boston vagrant I saw a few years back. Hell, folk were even handing the guy money.
In rocky economic times like these I think it wise to keep all of one's options open.
Don't you?
I should also point out, in fairness to Joe, that he also wanted to do Gaza and interview those average Hamas Joes, but, strangely enough, most of them are either dead or horribly maimed. Joe just couldn't envision how to "empower" average Joe Arab when all the little "terrorists" could muster during any interviews would be loud shrieks, stony corpse-like silence, or the occasional "Ow! Goddamn it, OW!"

The person (little self) who wishes to cognize truth must abandon the desire (of the little self) to cognize truth in the exploration of truth (that only shunyata can reveal.) And I’m fine with the paradox also.
Sorry tKl but I’m not likely to go very far down the path using Buddhist terminology. I have lived near but not in the Buddhist community for twenty-five years, I even made a throne for the Dalai Lama last year. These are good people, but practice (to my observation) has no impact on improving the personality expressions of any of them.

Dear Sounder,
I cannot expand these words. I ejaculated my best understanding and now can only speculate on what you are thinking. Hell, it may have changed since you posted!
How can "terminology" be a block when you are so enamoured with intellectual systems? For me, the sweetness of a complex jargon is seeing how it all fits together. It's a start, one could say.
Your point about "personality expressions" is well taken. They are, after all, Tibetans or Chinese or whatever, not fully enlightened beings. That could be the deepest criticism about the tradition(s). But this is, as Western philosophers say, "attacking the man." The gurus have a convenient out - they say it isn't the person but the symbol the person plays in transmitting the teaching or method.
According to the Gurus or Lamas, I am going to Hell, because I don't have an initiation in the teachings I practice. This is why I call myself "theeKultleeder" and it has always been so. No one got the joke. There is no "kult," and there is no "leeder."
However, what the words point to is recognizable. Many of the best teachings (in English) come from translators who have their statuses and jobs because they have PRACTICED and EXPERIENCED the states described by the teachers.
Here I am on the defensive - I suppose it betrays a lack of experiential certainty; however, the glimpses remain and liberation exists. It has nothing to do with language or belief. That is why it so cool!
Don't join a cult in hopes of some extra special initiation, just meditate ("correctly" I add in hopes of covering all bases). It's awesome.
...
There is a science of it. Eschew the deities and rituals and see the basic technique. "Mindful Relaxation," come to a head, followed by "Analytic Insight" brought to a peak.
Google "Dharma Overground" for people who take meditation seriously.

“….the glimpses remain and liberation exists. It has nothing to do with language or belief. That is why it so cool!"
I share your distrust for language and beliefs, however it seems that to be of benefit to the community one must translate internal awareness into external forms. Instead, no offence intended, people keep telling me how great these internal states of awareness are, without showing or creating effective correspondence to external events. Now I can accept that certain high resonators need not translate, in that their project ties the naugal to the tonal at a level distinct from language, but most folk (even seers) depend on attaching their imaginal receptions to some form or another. Oh Fuck, another overlong and pompous sentence, nevermind.
I take the position that the path taken is the appropriate path for that seeker. (They are all wrong anyway.)
tKl wrote…

I watched people waiting for the week long retreat coming up, and then the comedown in the days following the retreat. I choose to not wait for anything, and instead try to find a focus that will assist me to create a proper response for this current moment. To mix east and west, let’s say, liberation is found in the union of the inner/outer, self/other, male/female, horizontal/vertical, yadayada, rather than the deification of Apollo over Dionysus or vise versa.

While I enjoy speculations coming from all angles, my perspective is western, so for instance, alchemy fits for me better than any guru. (I still pay attention to the gurus)
Oh, and I have always gotten your joke.
There is a thread from the past through the present and into the future. It's braided and colour coded for the discerning. The "I" will have difficulty "c"ing the thread as it whirls and twirls at velocities where all colour is lost to the easy perceptions. It's the work in progress of this time/space. Half the time we are all in the dark. Half the time, we're not.
Knowledge had rambled northwards to the region of the Dark Water, where he ascended the height of Imperceptible Slope, when it happened that he met with Dumb Inaction. Knowledge addressed him, saying, 'I wish to ask you some questions:-- By what process of thought and anxious consideration do we get to know the Tâo? Where should we dwell and what should we do to find our rest in the Tâo? From what point should we start and what path should we pursue to make the Tâo our own?' He asked these three questions, but Dumb Inaction gave him no reply. Not only did he not answer, but he did not know how to answer.
Knowledge, disappointed by the fruitlessness of his questions, returned to the south of the Bright Water, and ascended the height of the End of Doubt, where he saw Heedless Blurter, to whom he put the same questions, and who replied, 'Ah! I know, and will tell you.' But while he was about to speak, he forgot what he wanted to say.
Knowledge, (again) receiving no answer to his questions, returned to the palace of the Tî, where he saw Hwang-Tî, the yellow emperor, and put the questions to him. Hwang-Tî answered, 'To exercise no thought and no anxious consideration is the first step towards knowing the Tâo; to dwell nowhere and do nothing is the first step towards resting in the Tâo; to start from nowhere and pursue no path is the first step towards making the Tâo your own.'
Knowledge then said to Hwang-Tî, saying, 'I and you know this; those two did not know it; which of us is right?' The Yellow Emperor replied, 'Dumb Inaction is truly right; Heedless Blurter has an appearance of being so; but I and you are not near being so. (As it is said), "Those who know (the Tâo) do not speak of it; those who speak of it do not know it;" and "Hence the sage conveys his instructions without the use of speech."

Sounder,
Thanks as always.
I have myself become inflated with the intended meanings of words, and just as the old mystics of the high plateaus have warned against, I have taken visions for meaningful signs and thus propped up my ego, which withers in everyday noramalness.
I would not, however, abandon the ideal for this rotten delusion-projection vision of mine. To do so would be to acquiesce to all the horrors my soul is capable of dreaming - rotten normalness.
When the delusion-projection is truly (and I say "truly" because debunkers will misinterpret) withheld and replaced by the ideal, magic happens.
Contrary to the sorcerers who merely play with the delusion-projection to the advantage of their own projected selves, this ideal I write of has within it a foundation of non-delusional non-projection that undermines the projected self.
I have found that the source of pure vision is indeed pure, and no matter how pure the vision, a deluded mind will defile it. I am speaking of my own faults here, because my "glimpses" are only hints of purity.
I hope that makes sense, and no, I didn't mean to ignore your Don Juan dialogue I just can't bother myself to remember the terms.
I must say, as far as that "magic" I wrote of above - this mind I wield is incredible in its scope and subtlety, and its interaction with "reality" is *unaccountable*
PS google "Dharma Overground" to find meditators who do it down and dirty with nuts and bolts, to mix metaphors.
PS
Talk to people who do one, two, or three week mediation retreats. Listen to the people who have done three year retreats.
The beginners, especially, crave more retreat time after a week or two of it. Not because it is easy or fun, but because they saw or felt something they need more of.
The process is fascinating, and yes, "coming down" from a meditation high is as psychologically difficult as any other psychedelic experience.
(PS I hear the Conspiratorial Christians theorizing about this "luciferian" practice of meditation... I truly say to you all: "fuck idiots. hell is not eternal, so go there for awhile")
PS2: I also feel your point on "meditation" versus "life" or in other terms "effort" versus "spontaneity." For more info see "Approaching the Great Perfection" a translation and commentary on the Heart Teachings. You might find a good preview on google books or you might find it in a *torrent* of inspiration!
"I think we're alone now..."
Since the room appears to be completely empty maybe this will echo for a while:
Yesterday Donnie died.
He was 32.
He had a heart attack in his sleep Sunday morning and passed quietly into oblivion.
I'm glad.
When Donnie was 16 he crashed his dirt bike, suffering massive head trauma in the process.
Evidently he made it into a home for MR folk because doctors had described him as brain damaged and in vegetative state.
Why?
I have no idea.
Anyone who spent any amount of time with Donnie could see that, by looking in Donnie's eyes, he was very much aware of what he'd become. He just couldn't communicate or move.
Evidently, at one point in his past, doctors attempted to stimulate his motor functions by implanting electrodes in his brain. While this worked temporarily, it eventually caused massive seizures and was discontinued.
So Donnie just sat there for 16 years looking very very fucking sad. Staring out from the prison cell his body had become.
But now he's escaped, and I'm damn glad he did.
Donnie's free.
Via con dios kid.
You've finally tunneled out and
I wish you well.
@JAD: Why the heck wasn't Donny kept whacked out on cutting-edge pleasure-pharms in front of six T.V.'s full of information? Does the word 'palliative' not enter into the watered-down Business Puritanism of modern health care?
Sheesh.

Sorry my wandering friend but, from what I've seen, there ain't much pleasure in the pharmaceuticals these folk get. If they're unruly, there are liberal doses of Lithium, but that just knocks them out or leaves them conscious, but teetering on the verge of collapse.
My one experience with Donny and the TV involved his family and some video tapes of Donny, pre-accident, running through his dirt bike trick routine. Donny sat there with tears streaming down his face as he watched the life he'd never live again unfold on the screen.
Personally, I'd have put him on a diet of Saved by the Bell and Valium, but our doctor seems to only favor laxatives.

I watched the below movie today and one thing that struck me was the “serial killer” in the movie. It’s pointed out that this man knew he had HIV but then when his sex partner died he’d then sleep with another women. He killed over 6 women and yet he was still alive and killing more. Then it was pointed out that the men with HIV were living longer than the females. It was also repeated that there’s a belief that if a man has HIV it will be cured if he sleeps with virgins.
I had first heard this “myth” from an amazing mom of my activist mentor, Dr. John E. Peck, http://familyfarmdefenders.org His family works in Zimbabwe and I was on their farm in the early 1990s when I heard this about men sleeping with virgins—or maybe also with white women.
Anyway then I realized that my own research from qigong has revealed that psychopathic perverts indeed FEED OFF THE SEX ENERGY of other people—the man sucks it up because his electromagnetic self-awareness is focused in his lower body—and then he feeds that electromagnetic power and then cycles it back out as ejaculation. So there is a REAL reason why these serial killers are living longer: evil.
“Angels in the Dust” is a documentary film by filmmaker Louise Hogarth. An inspiring story about Marion Cloete, a university-trained therapist whose self-sacrificial courage motivates change and hope. In a nation plagued by the HIV/AIDS epidemic, orphans, rape, and violence, Marion abandons a life of privilege in Johannesburg to build Botshabelo, a village and school that provides orphaned children with shelter, food and education. The stories of the orphaned children are paralleled with the orphaned elephants of Pilanesberg National Park in South Africa. In this poignant film, Marion attempts a similar strategy by re-parenting the orphaned children.
“Angels in the Dust” won the 2007 Emerging Pictures/Full Frame Audience Award at the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival.[1] It is produced by Dream Out Loud Films and Participant Productions.

So I read LOST WORLDS by a Conservation International big-wig (2008). It was a clear, fast read about his travels to several rainforest countries (India, Papua New Guinea are most emphasized with Phillipines, Ivory Coast and Madagascar).
He relied on the mining disaster in Papua New Guinea to such an extent that he considered the mining company Freeport to be just another factor to be balanced against social justice and ecology. Also he relied on a CIA-infilitrated evangelical missionary group—without knowing otherwise.
So the dude’s doing great work promoting “FOREST GARDENS”—a polyculture with understory trees for bird habitat and soil regeneration, etc.—but he’s also sold out to the whole World Bank-USAID-corporate-state complex.
So then I paged through his references and picked out a couple—one on a canopy rainforest biologist and the second is
NO MERCY by Redmond O’Hanlon. I actually had referenced this book before online since I had speed-read it at the University. I can’t check out books there but I got a copy from the downtown public library and lo!
Pygmy male chimps have INTERNAL CLIMAXES—I’m amazed I haven’t come across this vital tidbit since everyone raves about how Pygmies are smarter than “normal” chimps and how humans are even more closely related to Pygmies. But the male has to please so many females that the male has to be hard whenever needed—and therefore has learned not to ejaculate. An impressive feat indeed, as any male can attest to.
Redmond’s biology partner notes that female pgymy chimps “gaze into the eyes” of other females who then lie on their back and the “G to G” begins. Female pgymy chimps actually have outward forked clitores and then all the juvenile males practice on the female on her back, after she’s climaxed with the other female.
Anyway—no warfare, no cannibalism—in great contrast to the other chimps—smarter, peaceful.
The reason biologists haven’t emphasized the male internal climax is because there’s no knowledge of the vagus nerve connection—it’s just seen: oh they don’t ejaculate—without knowing what that means! haha.
Silly human males.

I am full of the fullness of the ever pregnant and ever giving (or birthing) Mother of Reality. The Bhaga or empty space in the cosmic Vagina within which our Ego-Phalluses ejaculate intentions which develop into our fully formed lives. Mind you, this is not some silly "sex magik" statement; to put it in other words I will write: what we think and do has an indeterminate final form in the shared world, but what we think and what we do has a more or less definite trajectory as far as effects. Like, you can't be sure if you come in your wife she'll get pregnant, and after she does you can't be sure if the child will develop into a fully formed child, and after that effect has manifested in the world (the child) can be raised in such a way that the parent can determine the general direction of the person's (child's) life, but in the final analysis, the parent cannot fully determine how the child will mature - it is subject to random or unknown forces.
This is like intention in the world. Even habitual intention, like having reactive-aggressive or reactive-lustful thoughts.
Think on this.
AN ANONYMOUS POSTER SAID:
"Anonymous One,simply said "Synchronicity" with a little "Magick" to make it all stick.Everything is smoke and mirrors from here out folks."

Put the two thoughts together: the mirror is your mind and the smoke is your thoughts obscuring the view.
What's the book called? What's the book about? Is it true that if you write a book and it gets published, they can't erase your name from the Akashic record?
The best book on the San is "The Harmless People" by, I think, Elizabeth Marshall Thomas. Anyway her book was attacked by other anthropologists, later on. The argument being that death rate from violence among the Bushmen was just as high as violence in the inner city, therefore the Bushmen are not "harmless." What's not taken into account is that if you actually read the book "The Harmless People" instead of just taking the criticisms at their word, the reader will note that the Bushmen were ENSLAVED as soon as tire tracks were made into their land. So the rate of violence being measured is AFTER the anthropologists had recorded their first contact.
If you read all the books on the Bushmen, and articles, it's clear that at first 90% of the males were trained to have internal climaxes -- with no ejaculation -- and there was no warfare and the culture was incredibly peaceful. Now this alchemical training is not at all emphasized in anthropology, or even shamanism (which is instead just obsessed with psychotropics) -- because the training is next to impossible in today's sex-driven commodity fetish world. It's a deep psychological training that goes against the family crackdown for marriage, etc.
When the Bushmen male trained he spent a month in isolation with the elder males -- on a special vegetarian diet -- but mainly fasting the whole month. This led to the first real hunting kill -- done during intense fasting of both water and food -- and then the male had to give his food to the other males. This was done as the trance dance -- which, at the males early age, in isolation, based on long healing dance songs -- would create the alchemy. So the male had to transcend death literally -- without food and water. It's called BIGU in Taoist Yoga or qigong.
The process of alchemy is this: when we sing or listening intensely to the source of sound then the natural resonance creates ultrasound which ionizes the serotonin in our stomachs, enabling the serotonin to bypass the blood-brain barrier. The Bushmen call this ionized serotonin, N/UM -- it's the same as the tummo of Tibetan meditation -- or the Kundalini of India -- or the JING of Taoist yoga. Then the N/UM, when built up enough, resonates the pineal gland so that the pineal gland is permanently magnetized with the serotonin bliss -- ionized and is activated to shoot out light from the pineal gland (or biophotons in current science jargon).
Then when the initiated male does healing he dances around the females, after fasting for the hunt, and this dance then collects the N/um of young maidens. There's a similar ritual in Kenya -- using drums -- where the females are "eaten" for the female initiation. In fact what is occurring is tantra. So in the Bushmen culture when the female starts menstruating she has the Eland dance which ends with each young male, uninitiated, having his penis touched by the young female, as the males walk past her.
It should be emphasized that there is also no homosexuality and while the kids are known to play sexually at youth they are not allowed to play like this in front of the parents. And when the male does want to marry the female the male has to live with the females' parents for three years -- before even sleeping with the female -- the whole time hunting and providing meat for the females' family. Only then will the male have proved himself worthy and the parents will in turn make sure the female doesn't sleep with another male. If the female wants to end the marriage then she can do so at any time -- but after the couple has three children then the male can leave his wives' family and take on another female as a wife, if this is consented.
The amazing thing is that the Bushmen females insist so much that the males learn how to "collect the N/um of young maidens" -- which means how to take in the electrochemical energy of females and shoot out the electromagnetic energy of males (for a mutual internal climax called !XIA in the Bushmen culture) -- that even the anthropologist males were requested to go through this training. This training started with the pgymy chimps - or bonobos -- and the Bushmen-Pgymy culture was the dominant human culture from 100,000 years ago to 10,000 years ago. -- 90% of human history.

@GreatGreenGobsOfFuckingMonkeyMeat: STFU already, man.
So I decided to look further into these male pgymy chimps not ejaculating. A recent academic book analyzes this behavior of no ejaculating -- stating that if the male ejaculated it would not allow him to continue using sex in aggressive situations, since the climax would resolve the tension.
http://books.google.com/books?id=Q9Wgak5gl18C&pg=PA43&lpg=PA43&dq=bonobos+male+ejaculation&source=web&ots=8Yge_Q0TuL&sig=jDlw9wjjKtp8HqVfwhYSusKwEJs&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=1&ct=result
In fact if you study tantra you know the OPPOSITE to be the truth -- that no ejaculation activates the parasymapathetic nervous system with an internal climax -- and ONLY when there is relaxation can this sexual behavior continue repeatedly.
Even worse other websites are quick to claim that male pgymy bonobos DO ejaculate -- and most importantly during male-to-male "penis fencing." So this seemed suspect since the above academic book reaffirmed no ejaculation and these were gay sex websites. So I looked into the source for "penis fencing" and it's the same Frans de Waal cited in the above academic book, the expert on primates. He says that THERE IS NO EJACULATION DURING PENIS FENCING -- in direct contrast to all the other citations of penis fencing online.
How quick the truth gets twisted around to its opposite!
Frans de Waal said that while penis fencing is very rare the only time he's seen pgymy males ejaculate is during female-male sex for reproduction, which is less than a third of male pgymy sexual encounters.

Listening to Paul Smith right now in C2C about remote viewing and then I get a PM about Chunyi Lin's phone healings:
Hi Jeremy: If Chunyi Lin does the phone healing I'm sure it will be excellent. He said that he's charged up water for people and kept this lady alive by having her drink from a jug of water he charged up over the phone. Her husband freaked out and would not let her drink the water from the frig anymore -- and she died two weeks later. Her phone healings with Chunyi Lin had kept her living past the doctors prediction for several months.
So yes the phone healings are very effective and often he has you meditate afterwards while he goes into deeper full-lotus meditation to send you more energy.
Jim Nance also did an amazing long distance healing on me -- back in 2005 -- no phone -- just his mind in full-lotus while I was in full-lotus at home. haha. The center of my brain got so hot I had to stop meditating! haha.

*sheesh* This Post-Modern Christian Mythology ain't gettin' off the ground, "folks."
That's right. Ya'll tried to scare the masses into demonic submission in the 80's, and ya'll have a revival still fizzling out from the web-surfin-90's.
It's funny how the most demonic shit comes out of Christianity (in this country). Lies.
If Christians can get "demons" exorcised from them in the public festival-theater called church, then surely a trained yet dimwitted and zealous Christian "therapist" can find MK multiples in the poor victims when they have them trapped in a psychiatric institution.
Victims of the demonic brainwash called Christianity.
Anonymous One,the demons are back and that's for sure,read the book"Spear of Destiny"you might gain a little different prospective on the situation we now face.Lovecraften as it might seem there are outside forces that have cast their delusion-projection,quiet like the good germans of 1929,step away from the window go back to sleep.Just remember,"we are the dreamers who dream the dream",later.
they have to look after a certain segment of the middle class. there is nothing worse than a wizened sex slave.
the problem with most of you is that ya'll believe your own bullshit.
God I hope if there are evil powers at work they at least don't believe their own bullshit too.
Otherwise the whole house of cards isn't even built on evil, just willful ignorance.
The following comment is typical of a person who does not have the background of personal self-reflection and introspection to maybe apply the mere words to heart of the matter: one's self.
"Lovecraften as it might seem there are outside forces that have cast their delusion-projection"
To clarify: the delusion-projection is that which a person projects onto the often confusing and chaotic outside world. We all of us have this habit of delusion-projection - some more, others less. To completely eradicate the delusion habit would be the end of faith, belief, all learning or conditioning, and all fear.
Do you see the problem? Everything you hate and fear is only a part of yourself that is projected onto the indeterminate screen of perceptual theater. This is more subtle than you might at first "project." Yes, there are abominable things in our world, but a person's insistence on the power of "outside influences" an excuse to ignore the projection.
The delusion of monotheism stems from this fundamental flaw in ordinary consciousness.
Let me put it another way: how could people be susceptible to illusions if they were not projecting a false reality on the heart of the matter?
Back to the mirror metaphor: the reflections of reality exist in your mind, the mirror, and the smoke is your delusion-projection.
"Otherwise the whole house of cards isn't even built on evil, just willful ignorance."
If the will in "willful" is pure, there is no ignorance; otherwise, it is just another chain in conditioning causes that are beyond any one's will or intention.
Get it? A person will do a thing that is only the result of a whole chain of habits, influences and opportunities, and then they think, good or bad, "I did that," when in fact the person is only a part of "that." A pure intention is beyond any causal chain. Such an intention is beyond the trap of "I" "did that."
It's like a good party or good luck: shit happens and the force of the blessing of vital life moves through the participants and makes the outcomes health-engendering.
You can call it God but as soon as you anthropomorphize it you have made this blessing a property, and then it becomes just another cause for suffering and delusion-projection.
IT IS NOT a "grand illusion," it is "rotten normalness" and just one's own (one's own) delusion-projection.
Grow up, little children!

I just clicked the link and it was fine....
I just saw the new film "Che" yesterday which includes his gay-bashing -- calling his guerillas that quit "fags." Cuba then would arrest gays. I support individual rights but I will say that in the traditional source of Pythagorean culture -- the Bushmen trance healing -- THERE WERE NO GAYS. That was 90% of human history. Just because someone has gay sex doesn't mean they are a Number 1 to Number 2 person (Gurdjieff's lower chakra consciousness) but alchemy is based on sublimating the sexual energy. If you define your indentity by the type of ejaculation you have (from male sex) then you are focused on the OPPOSITE goal of alchemy. I can assure you that whenever my sexual energy gets strong -- when I store it up for say a month and I'm creating stronger electromagnetic fields -- then I ALWAYS get PM'd by online pervs looking to get off on my energy. They don't have to be gay to be a Number 1 to Number 2 person -- because consciously they may define themselves as straight. Sex predation for selfish ejaculation is because the male is subconsciously CONTROLLED by their electromagnetic awareness STUCK in their lower chakra. Language is a recent and superficial phenomenon -- what counts, as Gurdjieff points out, is where the source of the I is in the person's body (where their electromagnetic awareness is focused). So if male defines themselves by their sex identity as seeking out other males for their own ejaculation (even if they think they can hide their intention) -- then most likely the person will be closer to a Number 1 then a Number 3. In other words pervs are more common among gays than not but what's the worst is the "closeted thug" phenomenon -- the right wing gay-bashing pervert child abusers.

Yes how not to be a sheeple is the question. When the social condition are ripe then we all get slaughtered for harvest. There's no escape in my opinion -- only the metaphysical truth of pure consciousness which can be perceived physically through the resonance of complementary opposites. Sit in full-lotus as much as possible and the evil will be exorcised.

"If the will in "willful" is pure, there is no ignorance; otherwise, it is just another chain in conditioning causes that are beyond any one's will or intention."
A pure will does not suffice to expel ignorance. If attained it will undoubtably help. Like a monk who holds a physical position until he has conquered the body. He has pure will, it is unsullied by any thoughts or emotions, but what can he do with it? Nothing, for he does not know what he could do with it.
Glad to see his brother emphasizes gender. Maybe he's made the vagus nerve discovery, like Reich did. It connects to the reptilian pineal gland so we can fly through space which is a moebius curve, closing in on that which has no ending. The flying lotus of the Cosmic Mother shall never be unveiled.

Not at all; here the definition of "pure will" is: intention arising from a lack of ignorance. Also here, "ignorance" is defined as the root cause of all sin, which is bad action, which is unskillful action, which is unhealthy action, which results in suffering of sentient beings.
A monk who has entered into this realm of "pure will" or "non-ignorance" does not have a thought about "what to do"; there is nothing to do because every intention is realized in a fleeting moment and presses the vital point like a martial artist in the "zone."
To go back to the idea of conditioned existence: any intention arising from a subjective past will produce an inter-action that is impure in the sense it is entirely dependent on the past, what happened to the subject, what the subject fears, and what the subject hopes for. There is no purity there, the will is utterly stained by self-interest.
A pure will, from which arise pure intentions, is utterly non-reactive to subjective stains or imprints or self-interest, but totally reactive to the memories, fears, hopes, and other-interest of the objective being.
It is less complicated than words make it out to be.

Hyundai is offering to let consumers return their freshly peeled

And Pepsi recently retooled its

logo.
Pepsi's latest ad campaign includes a survey of more than 2,000 people
as part of its "Pepsi Optimism Project."
Supposedly, 77% of all "millenials"-these would be folk born between
1980 & 1990-surveyed are boundless in their career optimism despite
the storm clouds looming on the horizon.
For some strange reason, when I read that little factoid, I flashed
back to the Millenium episode, that I assume was Chris Carter's
Scientology parody, where the chipper psychotic has to hurdle an insane
distance between buildings to escape Lance. Muttering optimistic
platitudes like "I can do this" over and over, he then leaps over the

Go figure.
Pepsi is also sponsoring an inaugural ball to celebrate as "America

Now, I'm old enough to remember the tonnage on the load of crap that
Coke's "We'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony"
socially relevant jingle contained.
Hell, it's been 20+ years and I still can't carry a tune in a bucket.
No Coke tutor has stopped by my house and taught me how to sing in
perfect fucking harmony.
Lies, I tell you.
All of it.
Lies.
I bet they make millions with each and every one of them too.
"You know, when a guy is singing to me about toilet paper - you may
need the money but, I mean, rob a 7-11! Do something with dignity and

own credibility, to the point where you do your own work, and then
somebody puts decals all over it, it no longer carries the same
weight...
I really am against the people who allow their music to be nothing more
than a jingle for jeans or Bud. But, I say, 'Good, okay, now we know
who you are.' Cause it's always money. There have been tours endorsed,
encouraged and financed by Miller, and I say, 'Why don't you just get
an office at Miller? Start really working for the guy.' I hate it."

Ok, ok, ok...so we killed a few Iraqis.

Have a goddamn Pepsi and get some furniture and a new Hyundai.

Modern empire sucks. You expect me to pay some Koreans to make me a stupid Hyundai with money I don't even have?

I hope Obama, with his deep understanding of what slavery means (actually, the guy plainly runs on two "D" cells - ol' Walt just painted up an old animatron from the 'It's A Small World' show, folks), fixes this.
America doesn't need change. She needs a restoration of her ancient values. Couple goat legs to Zeus ain't gonna do it, either. I think we'll have to fry up Chicago or something to appease the Gods for all this Xtian mind-control crap. It's just disrespectful. Eagles drop dead from the sky every time a Baptist preacher opens his mouth, did you know that?
WHERE ARE MY SLAVES, OBAMA?!?
Whatever happened to all the fun talk about plasma blasts from the sky? wasn't that a big worry here just a minute ago? do you people have the attention span hiccups? would someone please send G a brain fart in a jar?
Where is Sully? A hero pilot saves the day last Thursday afternoon and he's still being debriefed? I hope it doesn't have anything to do with the 23 Bank of America execs and 3 Wells Fargo banksters heading for head office after picking up 138 Billion in TARP largesse. I wonder if it's taking longer for tptb to get the crew to say big brown birds did it.
The pilot,the plane, the plane is? Where is the pilot? Tripple G you sit in the lotus for things to get better. Resist the glue GGG. Will there be war crimes? Dennis from Oregon.
And what good will it do to participate in the endless cycle of action-re-action? (This is my idiosyncratic translation of "karma," BTW.) Fight and be fought, make enemies and factions and engage in endless tit-for-tat, eye-for-eye childishness.
Good or bad time flows forward and things always change. For GGG to seek the changeless is the only logical solution - it is not "glue," as a matter of fact, it is solvent!
This is not to say action isn't required sometimes. This is not a plea for total pacifism in the face of imminent and senseless suffering.
You will die, you will die, you will die. So will your children. Eventually the universe will collapse; wouldn't you like a taste of the changeless? Wouldn't you like a certainty beyond mere faith or belief, a certainty beyond even the five senses, a certainty of your ultimate state of Perfect Peace?
What strikes me as funny (well, it makes me angry when my mood is heavy, but I am feeling light) what is funny to me is how a person with so little knowledge of the inner workings of his or her self, a person who seeks to understand the world by turning outside to indeterminate "facts" can only attack those who say "there is a better way." Those who attack the seekers can only say "there is evil and we should fight." Why would a seeker play the devil's game?
Why would an earnest person play the Devil's game?
The Buddha was a wealthy prince who grew up in city-state warfare in medieval India. He saw that to escape senseless suffering he had to get himself out of the game. An hour or two of meditation a day suffices - it wildly suffices to bring one out of the muck of action-re-action.
Either try it [meditation], earnestly, or admire those who do. It is not escapism, it is discipline.
"The Noble Eightfold Path is one of the principle teachings of the Buddha, who described it as the way leading to the cessation of suffering... and the achievement of self-awakening."

A Mind-Altering Message: Time to listen before it's too late
Thomas Moore
One of the key words in the New Testament is metanoia, usually translated as "repentance" and giving rise to neurotic concerns about sin and self-reproach. But the Greek word meta means "change" and noia, "mind." "Changing your mind" is not a bad translation, but "mind-altering" is even better.
The word noia is related to nous, a heavy word in philosophy and religion that refers to the very meaning of the universe, its design and significance. Essentially, metanoia is a change in your relationship to that order.
As I see it, you listen to the words of Jesus and are jolted into an entirely new imagination of how the world works. His actions and teachings spell out this new imagination. What does he do? He is outrageously forgiving and accepting. He deals directly with the demonic in people and rids them of its influence. He heals people of their suffering. He teaches a rule of love rather than obligation. This set of values is fairly simple yet mind-altering.
If being a Christian doesn't transform your imagination, then religion is getting in the way of your new vision. If going to church doesn't shift your imagination to those specific qualities of the Gospel, then it might be better to stay home and study the Gospel words carefully and take them seriously. Religion sometimes defends itself against the radical nature of Jesus' message by resorting to moral platitudes. In that process, Jesus disappears.
The world functions largely from the imagination of power and money. Individually, we know that love is most important, but society as yet can't grasp this insight. It is still profoundly narcissistic, unsure of itself, and propping itself up with superficial values rather than the ones that count.
Jesus shows a way out of narcissism, which at its root is anxiety about self. Am I OK? Am I loved and respected? Will I survive? Narcissism isn't a moral problem; it's a basic anxiety that comes with being human and is often exacerbated by upbringing and society's influences. Freud said that everyone goes through a phase of narcissism that is appropriate, when you are becoming a self. But you have to grow out of it.
As you move out of narcissism, you become aware of community. Change of mind is not about change of belief, but a shift in the deep emotional and intellectual imagination from which you live. You discover paradox. You realize that to be a secure and satisfied person, you need to love and be loved. You need friends, family, and community. The direction of your concern shifts from self to other. Paradoxically, as Jesus said, only by loving others, perceived enemies included, will you find yourself.
A human being has to move from a natural, unconscious state to an awake and aware one. You come to see a deep meaning and order in life, its nous. You acknowledge it and design your life to be part of it. I think that is what Jesus means when he speaks so often about doing the will of his father. You transform your anxious thoughts about self into a philosophy and practice by which you are fulfilled by being in tune with life's deepest mysteries. The process is psychological, philosophical, and spiritual.
Morality falls into place when you have moved out of narcissism. Otherwise, morality remains in its naïve, undeveloped state of moralism, in which you are compelled emotionally to be preoccupied with your own anxious concerns. Typically, you project your moral anxiety onto the world and demand that people share your defensive and simplistic idea of what is right and wrong.
The teachings of Jesus offer a way out of anxiety and into love. But Christianity's obsession with moralism and dogmatism, in place of metanoia, has been a near fatal mistake. Now is the time, when the world needs the Gospel vision most, to grow up, abandon the focus on church and belief, and make every effort toward a mind-altering vision of real community worldwide.
Those who follow Jesus could make a leap and understand that the community or ecclesia is not the Church of believers, but the world community of humans, who do not need to become Christians, but do need the change in imagination that will save them from self-destruction and meaninglessness.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer said that Christianity has come of age, but it appears that his assessment was premature. The choice has to be made now. There isn't much time to spare, given the world's tendency toward anarchy and destruction. Never before has there been such a need for metanoia.
I do believe the fake communist agent, whom Jeff adores, is playing around on the cast-outs blog, here. I can taste the bile he spews with every post he makes.
Either Jeff is stupid, or he's in bed with this fake-o.
America is an Oprasamabamarama...

You fools have replaced a Monarchy with a Cult of Personality.
A Republic that thinks it is a Democracy and doesn't know that Democracy is antithetical to Republic. It doesn't know because it is too stupid.
What a bunch of fucking brainwashed loons.
You will all be living in a full-on Fascist Totalitarian state within a matter of months. You will STILL call it a Democracy.
The whole world and everyone in it is sickened by you. The whole problem with you is that you deify your Presidents. Mount Rushmore says it all. National Masturbation.
It leads to blindness.
Obama (or Barry I should say) isn't even born American. You'd think that would be looked at as a problem by his handlers and backers. But they aren't worried. America is brain dead. They know it.
Meditating Man - Be as calm as you want, gasoline still burns you, Buddhaman. Even fools like you make perfectly good tools for those with hands to use 'em.
Wow, there's a communist agent here? Must be like the only one left in the world. Les' fin' him a breeding partner. Ghoul! Ovah heah boy!
Clan, man. I swear there must be something in the water. It goes past 'fools' and into 'Pompeii' here.
Right thinking. Right action. Right.
Free bowl o' soup from the rubes, and no boring administrative work to do.
Ol' Sam there didn't step DOWN in this world - he stepped UP. Being a religious icon, you don't even NEED money, and you can swing kings around your fingers far better than any small-time princeling.
Just 'cause you feel on a higher level than 'political' fools 'playing the Devil's game' (what a dumb line), don't mean you ain't somebody's fool, bub.
All a matter of deciding how hard you want to work in this world, and how much leverage you can actually swing without falling off the tiger. Ask old L. Ron about that stuff.
Right thinking. Pffff. Haha.
You think you're even THINKING right now, you got another think coming. Mind is the mirror of the world and the self - but wait, what's that peeking out through
everything?
0,0.
Hey - Abracadology fans - does Obama link historically to like any letters and numbers around Abrahamo?
Could there be some bizarre JudaKabbaLaic trinity-thing about to happen here?
Ah, who cares. Heck, let's cremate care. Heck, let's cremate each other.
Re: Thomas Moore
Holy Cow, the ideological parasitism of the Xtian Church knows no bounds.
News flash, Dirty-Knees Boys - in any actual awakening/upgrade of world-population understanding, any turbo-noos (missing the umlaut but at least I can spell it) action goes on - you dorks are going to be LEFT BEHIND, just like the TV show.
Following Jesus - what, your spirit gets to belong to a team?
Sad crap, man.
Choose Brand Jesus! Still gets your soul cleaner than the only other brand there is (holds up charred, smoking shirt) - yes, Brand Disbelief, given an equal eternity, results in this charred and smoking mess!

Did you see Obama screw up the
oath of office? Hell..Even HE
can't believe he's Prez.
Barack Obama..The Audacity Of Hype.
Yesterday I read "The Lightness of Being: Mass, Ether and the Unification of Forces" (2008) by Nobel physicist Frank Wilczek, creator of the axion.
The book relies on the Pythagorean model of science -- with sections like "Pythagoras' Vision, Planck's Units" and "Unification, the Siren's Song" and "Music of the Grid."
The central Achilles Heel is when he tackles the missing mass -- dark energy issue now plaguing physics -- on cosmic density and cosmic pressure:
"Because mass-density and pressure have the same value everywhere, they can be regarded as intrinsic properties of space itself. That's the Grid viewpoint.... A key relationship governing the physics of the cosmological term relates its density to the pressure it exerts, using the speed of light. There's no standard name for this equation, but it will be handy to have one. I'll call it the well-tempered equation because it prescribes the proper way to tune a Grid." (p. 107)
The equation is density = negative pressure divided by speed of light squared
"The pressure that goes with density, according to the well-tempered equation, provides a loop hole." (p. 107)
Wilczek uses Bach and Mozart elsewhere in the book as metaphors but my argument is that his use of "well-tempered" here HAS TO BE TAKEN LITERALLY. He's presented an inverse square equation which he states is a varient of E = MC squared. My own research has shown that Einstein's extension of Newton comes directly from Archytas fucking up the true meaning of NUMBER from Pythagoras.
And so I sat in full-lotus for an hour or so after finishing the book around 2 a.m. In my meditation, once again, there was bright purple haze in my brain. I woke up from this pleasant dating dream to my brain going bright with light and then the sound of "ye old perv" in the bathroom behind my head -- about 10 feet away.
This had happened to me last week but I wasn't sure about the causal connection to this true LIGHTNESS OF BEING. I had watched this Bollywood film with this super hot supermodel Sheila Chopra as a demonic serial killer prostitute taking on the goddess Kali. I woke up from a dream about the movie to this kundalini wave of energy up my spine and a bright flash of light in my brain -- and then the sound of "ye old perv" in the bathroom behind me. I first I thought the worst -- that the shaking of my body was from the "ye old perv" jerking off in the can. Ever since I publicly confronted him (so the neighbors could hear) I haven't been exposed to his misuse of the public restroom so I doubted that was the cause of the body shaking. I thought the bright light might have been inspired by the awesome Bollywood film since my dream was pretty intense but I wasn't sure. Red Swastik is the film name.
The real reason is that "ye old perv" was directly behind my head and therefore he sucked out the stored electromagnetic PRESSURE in my brain -- the DENSITY of ye old perv was inversely proportional.
And so it goes with Wilczek -- he makes a comment in the book about how seductive Nature is -- but there's no mention of ecology in the book. It's amazing that physicists remain completely oblivious to the ecological crisis while whining about their superconducting super colliders not being funded -- meanwhile the secret military connection to antimatter weapons and electrogravitic propulsion remains an even more serious threat to the future of humanity.

Abracadology... reconstitutive psycho-sexual word spells employing subliminality, archetype juxtaposition and associative symbology.
The big spell at play now is The Obamasamarama.
National Enemy Number One named OBAMA.
followed by
National Savior Number One named
OSAMA.
The incantation that is going on here is explicit and unmistakable.
What's the difference here? Why, the letter B and the letter S.
B & S. Bovine (S)excreta.
Keep in mind, Obama is not his real name. He's Barry Soetoro. Initials BS. Obama is an assumed name. One might say, a CRAFTED name. So's the Hussein part.
Saddam HUSSEIN - National Enemy Number One (runner up)
Barack HUSSEIN Obama - National Savior Number One
Keep in mind Hussein is not his real middle name. He's Barry Soetoro. Hussein is an assumed middle name. One might say, a CRAFTED name. That's "H" as in Jesus H Christ. So too is the Barack part... just plain weird...

Technically (and legally) Barry Whathisname didn't take the Oath of Allegiance. Listen to it. He didn't take the Oath (properly).
Nobody cares (or should I say, Nobody fuckin' cares).
He's not even eligible to take the Oath that he didn't take... and still nobody cares (or should I say, nobody fuckin' cares).
It is the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights that the whole country is brainwashed to NOT CARE ABOUT.

The 2nd American Civil War is what it will be called after it is all said and done. World War Three will bust out because of it. Certain other powers will take advantage of the fact that American guns are turned on their own continental homeland. While America is busy ripping itself to shreds trying to figure itself out, Russia will make its move.
Israel is blasting the shit out of Gaza right now because they know that what is about to happen globally will overshadow (and wash away) the "news" they are currently generating. Israel always does this.
They know every government (practically) is going to begin doing this to their own people and everybody else. They are just setting the tone. Later they will finish off the Palestinians when there is a World War waging away as cover. Israel will do to the Palestinians what they mistakenly believe Hitler was out to do to them. They are going to kill every last one of them. This, at least, is their plan.
Unfortunately for everyone (including the Israelis) the whole thing is going up into a big, stratosphere-bound, searingly hot cloud of gas. The Middle East will be a pillar of salt. Stick a nuclear match on those oil fields... WOW!!! The Pillar Seen 'Round The World.
The Jesuit American Military Industrial Complex secretly gave those crazy Semites nukes for a reason. Think about it.

Barry pledged to "EXECUTE" today in a scripted torturing of the Oath of Allegiance. What do you suppose THAT means?
It means that Mercury goes retro ...
In general, Mercury rules thinking and perception, processing and disseminating information and all means of communication, commerce, education and transportation. By extension, Mercury rules people who work in these areas, especially people who work with their minds or their wits: writers and orators, commentators and critics, gossips and spin doctors, teachers, travellers, tricksters and thieves.
Mercury retrograde gives rise to personal misunderstandings; flawed, disrupted, or delayed communications, negotiations and trade; glitches and breakdowns with phones, computers, cars, buses, and trains. And all of these problems usually arise because some crucial piece of information, or component, has gone astray or awry.
It is therefore not wise to make important decisions while Mercury is retrograde, since it is very likely that these decisions will be clouded by misinformation, poor communication and careless thinking. Mercury is all about mental clarity and the power of the mind, so when Mercury is retrograde these intellectual characteristics tend to be less acute than usual, as the critical faculties are dimmed. Make sure you pay attention to the small print!
Mercury retrograde in Aquarius [Jan 11 – Feb 1, 2009]
At 16:45 UT (Universal Time), on Sunday, January 11th, 2009, Mercury the cosmic trickster turns retrograde in Aquarius, the sign of the Water-Bearer, sending communications, travel, appointments, mail and the www into a general snarlup! Since this is the day of the potent Full Moon in Cancer, people's emotions will be on high alert! The retro period begins a few days before the actual turning point (as Mercury slows) and lasts for three weeks or so, until February 1, when the Winged Messenger reaches his direct station. At this time he halts and begins his return to direct motion through the zodiac.
Hey Dennis..Have you heard from Sully? He's a hero.
Clan says to himself... that's the Oath of Office, not the Oath of Allegiance... you fool.
Mercury retrograde? That explains everything. My typos never seemed quite so astronomical until now.
Apparently The Pres took his Oath again. That makes two Oaths.
His wifey wants to change the name of the White House. I can't say I didn't see that coming.
I hope you Yanks are ready for a re-labeling fest... or re-branding if you will.
The White House should be renamed

Judging by the frontpage pic of Barry, he has been working on his Mussolini facial impression.
He should be named Il Duce for that... or better yet... simply

Just getting my jabs in while it's still legal.
'I was brought up as an orthodox Jew and a Zionist. On a shelf in our kitchen, there was a tin box for the Jewish National Fund, into which we put coins to help the pioneers building a Jewish presence in Palestine.
I first went to Israel in 1961 and I have been there since more times than I can count. I had family in Israel and have friends in Israel... I have known most of the Prime Ministers of Israel, starting with the founding Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion.
... My parents came to Britain as refugees from Poland. Most of their families were subsequently murdered by the Nazis in the holocaust. My grandmother was ill in bed when the Nazis came to her home town of Staszow. A German soldier shot her dead in her bed.
My grandmother did not die to provide cover for Israeli soldiers murdering Palestinian grandmothers in Gaza. The current Israeli Government ruthlessly and cynically exploit the continuing guilt among gentiles over the slaughter of Jews in the holocaust as justification for their murder of Palestinians. The implication is that Jewish lives are precious, but the lives of Palestinians do not count.'
On Sky News a few days ago, the spokeswoman for the Israeli army, Major Leibovich, was asked about the Israeli killing of, at that time, 800 Palestinians- the total is now 1,000. She replied instantly that "500 of them were militants."
That was the reply of a Nazi. I suppose that the Jews fighting for their lives in the Warsaw ghetto could have been dismissed as militants.
The Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni asserts that her Government will have no dealings with Hamas, because they are terrorists. Tzipi Livni's father was Eitan Livni, chief operations officer of the terrorist Irgun Zvai Leumi, who organised the blowing-up of the King David hotel in Jerusalem, in which 91 victims were killed, including four Jews.
Israel was born out of Jewish terrorism. Jewish terrorists hanged two British sergeants and booby-trapped their corpses. Irgun, together with the terrorist Stern gang, massacred 254 Palestinians in 1948 in the village of Deir Yassin.
... However many Palestinians the Israelis murder in Gaza, they cannot solve this existential problem by military means. Whenever and however the fighting ends, there will still be 1.5 million Palestinians in Gaza and 2.5 million more on the west bank. They are treated like dirt by the Israelis, with hundreds of road blocks and with the ghastly denizens of the illegal Jewish settlements harassing them as well. The time will come, not so long from now, when they will outnumber the Jewish population in Israel.
It is time for our Government to make clear to the Israeli Government that their conduct and policies are unacceptable, and to impose a total arms ban on Israel. It is time for peace, but real peace, not the solution by conquest which is the Israelis' real goal but which it is impossible for them to achieve.
They are not simply war criminals; they are fools.'

FUNNY! Funny...
I'm starting to think we caste-outs don't take any of this seriously. I mean, jeff's religious-mythological paradigm.
DATELINE: Jan. 21, 2009:
Noted fringe culture personality Alex Jones LIES on air. He says "It is official, Obama refuses to uphold Constitution." No, friends, Chief Justice John Roberts could not remember the full oath, and Obama's weakness of being a nice guy showed through - he followed Roberts's lead to help the man save face, like a Japanese Bushido kind of thing - a culture of respect.
Roberts is universally recognized as a Bush legacy - an idiot wind still blowing. President Obama took the oath agin, just to make sure that he does swear to uphold the software of the American dream.
Obama had the Oath of Office memorized accurately, Chief Bush Appointee Roberts did not.
TO MAKE IT CLEAR:
JONES SAYS OBAMA REFUSED TO UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION
FACT!!!! OBAMA ONLY MISPLACED THE WORD "FAITHFULLY," IT DID NOT CHANGE THE MEANING OF THE WORDS.
If yu are smart enough to know English, you know this is true. Apparently, Alex Jones does not know English well enough to make such a BASIC distinction.
MOOT POINT.
JONES LIES LIKE LIMBOOB!!!!!!!!!

FROM THE SCHOLAR YOGI MIPHAM'S COMMENTARY ON THE GLORIOUS SHRI KALACAKRA TANTRA - A COMMENT AGAINST THE BARBARIANS:
So the tantras teach. (An alleged creator) not included in the interdependent arising, of "time," but other than that, a creator of the world's arising and gathering, as maintained by the outsiders, never existed. In the external world, the place of desire, at the time they are established, all appearances are established by sentient beings' internal discursive thoughts: When there is no mind, there is no accumulation of body. If there is no body, the arising of the variety of the world is causeless, and its arising is impossible.
The producer of karma also is none other than changing... discursive thoughts... While it has no establishment at all as things that are other than space, luminous by nature, it still appears. Therefore, all the parts of time are explained in the practice of the completely pure bhagavan Kālacakra, to eliminate the birth and destruction that arises from the power of discursive thoughts. The means of practice should be understood by yogins in those terms.
All parts of the time of the discursive thoughts of ordinary people are meditated on as the divine circle whose nature is complete purity. By that all impure characteristics are abandoned, and the stage of the perfect meaning, utterly pure suchness, ripens.
"utterly pure suchness?"
-uttterly pure something...
Clan, man - I find all the siegheiling a little disturbing too. People who ask for Change these days might get a whole bill or two. Like a draft bill.
