The View From Here - - - Now

Well if one were to do a tea party update these it would be “Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies”.  Every day it seems Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan sink deeper and deeper into deluding others, and possibly themselves, too.  Take this whole Islamic Rage crisis they are featuring on the Newsweek cover this week.  It all began when Mitt Romney promised he would issue no political statements to spoil 9 – 11.  But at nine o clock he made the statement that our embassy was “weak” because they said they understood the frustrations of the Islamic protestors.  This was BEFORE the Libyan ambassador and three others were killed.  But he said to delay the release of the statement till one minute after midnight on 9 – 12.  Why did he do this?  He was afraid of just what ended up happening, that the White House would disown or otherwise not back up the original embassy statement.  The whole Libyan murder thing, ironically, was just icing on the cake because it had not EVEN HAPPEMED yet.  So Romney repeated what he knew to be a false statement.   Many other lies have been told.  I think it was on Rush Limbaugh I heard that “Rather than the Libyans escort the body to the hospital, what they really did was tell the terrorists where he was so that they could “finish him off”.  I kid you not.  We were then informed that the Obama administration had forbidden US Marines not to use live ammunition on their weapons, and there was the oft repeated line that “Well the embassy wasn’t properly protected”.  This is another Lie told by the right.  We were then told that the anti Islamic movie could NOT be the source of all the protests because “Nobody in the Islamic world even knows how to use the Internet”.  We have David Gregory’s desperate to breathe life into the Romney campaign by trying to get the Israeli President Netenyahoo to come out and condemn Obama and say “Obama wants to throw Israel under the bus”.  No matter how hard Gregory pressed, Netenyahoo would not say it.  And it would been a bad briech of protocol if he did.  Of course that there is that absurd mock “Press Conference” that Rush Limbaugh had on his show with a really bad actor playing the part of the President, saying things that are TOTALLY not what President Obama would ever say.  Yet Rush Limbaugh thinks it’s great.  Is it any wonder with all these lies that the American people are seeing through it all.  President Obama continues his “bounce” and is up six percentage points in the National Polls, and is up seven points in Ohio, and the President is up five percentage points in the states of Florida and Virginia.  Nobody even asks about Pennsylvania any more since that state is so solidly in the Obama camp.  Some on our side say they even sense an Obama land-slide coming, when November arrives.  It may be a case of “picking the winning horse” and wanting to go with a winner.  Many are seeing a desperate note of desperation in the Romney and Ryan campaign, that’s for sure.  The funny thing is with each new week brings a new Romney gaff or major mistake.  How many more of them will there be?

We come to the movie itself which has been called “soft porn” or “pornography with all of the worse sex scenes edited out”.  And it’s no wonder.  Sam Biselli hared this pornography producer named Alan Roberts to make the movie  His credits include such hits as “The Sexperts” and “The Happy Hooker” trilogy.  So because of that one movie produced in this internet age- - there are protests in twenty Moslem countries, and I assure you all twenty are NOT at war with America.  Rush Limbaugh used to have the saying of “Actions have consequences”.  Rush had another saying.  “Don’t poke the Bear”.  The question is if you pre plan an action leading to tumult and violence- - can you be prosecuted?  I am reminded of a television show where this one criminal was taunting these cops he’d had encounters with and was trying to goad them thinking there would be no repercussions.  So he’d make snorting pig like noises, and say things like ‘Why let these pigs in here?” and “I think I detect the scent of pig”.  Well the police got even with him by throwing in the paddy wagon with a bunch of smelly drunks, and throwing him in the drunk tank at the station where he had to wait the standard twelve hours to have time to “sober up”.  The book of James in the Bible admonishes many times to “Guard your speech”.  Now four American troopers have been killed by “friendly government” when our own Afghan government has fired on our men, becoming commonplace now. One might just wonder whether the release of this whole movie was timed to coincide with the national elections so that it would help Mitt Romney in his campaign by the people seeing in the media every night all these protestors.  And therefore they could say “Look at President Obama.  He has “Lost control” over events in the Mideast”.

Over the weekend was held a conference called the “Value Voters Summet” of all the usual Icons of the right.  Mitt Romney didn’t come himself but sent a promotional film.  Someone joked, “I guess it’s their way of humanizing him”.   This General Boigen guy who spoke there was considered so beyond the pale that he was refused to be allowed to speak at West Point because our own troops didn’t want him to.  He blaimed the refusal on all these atheists.  Of course he repeated the accusation that that Hillary aid was a Moslem infiltrater.  This general Boigen guy urged Israel to attack Iran.  Other speakers said “You don’t want to be a progressive.  Hitler was a progressive”.  Santorum spoke at this gathering and I think he’s the one who said that higher education will never represent our views.  What we need to do is to turn to the two institutions in America that have proved the most reliable- - the Family and the Church.  Paul Ryan spoke at this gathering.  He said “If we show weakness before the Moslems - - they will attack”.  He seems to think that somehow the way to solve every problem in the world is sheer force 

If you've played the game of Risk you know that things are not strictly a "head to head" contest.  So you don't entirely have control over your own destiny.  I am reminded of one event lately where "The Ionian factor" has been mentioned.  Sometimes "higher powers" can intervene in "events that are really none of their business".  Raphael would not file charges against E J Di Mira after that little fist fight that E J started, because he probably felt he was enough of a man and didn't need protection from the legal system to resolve his own personal problems.  Suppose a powerful group - - and I'm picking the Ionians - - - decides they want Mitt Romney to be President for reasons that have nothing logically at all to do with our own issues here in the United States.  There is a Star Trek episode where Bones meets this "community activist"  (the Obama similarity shouldn't escape you) and later she gets involved in politics and is hired as some envoy by President Roosevelt or something and because of her - - peace negotiations are into between President Roosevelt and Adolph Hitler.  You see where this is going.  Because of all these diplomatic overatures our country became "weak abroad" and were ripe pickings for the Nazis to march on in to this country so that by the 22nd century we're all speaking German.  As such when a car ran this lovely woman over in a flook accident Spock pulled Bones back from trying to rescue the woman insuring her death.  Bones turns to Spock and says "Do you know what you just did" and Spock says "Yes, I do".  The trouble is God doesn't read his Nancy Sinatra enough when it comes to me and everybody else.  "Now - What's right is right - - but you ain't been right yet". Fundamentalist Christians are always carrying on about "seeking God's will" or merely "It must have been God's will" assuming that whatever calamity happens is "all for the best".  The trouble is that 99.4% of the time they are wrong.  But these are people who LIVE by the Exceptions in life.  Were it not for the Exceptions- - they would have been out of business long ago.  (Selah)

Nothing To Get Up About

"I ran into the fortune teller the other the other day and she said-
"Beware of lightning that might strike"
"I haven't known peace and quiet for so long I've forgotten what it's like"

Here are three fortune cookies.  I'll give you the option of smashing one of them with this hammer sight unseen and just- - toss it here in this waste basket.  The other two cookies said

"Don't go where the road don't go" and
"Forget about your silly whim- it doesn't fit the Plan"

Well this morning I got up at 6:15.  There was no particular reason to get up early at all.  I kind of lay in bed a while before I actually checked the time.  I had just had a dream where I had this at length interview with John Lennon and I was making all these notes and hearing all of his observations on things- - but there were really no “current events” in this dream per se.  Anyhow I remember typing up a bunch of pages and planning to photocopy them and send them off in snail mail sometimes overlaying art of one page over another.  But today there was “Nothing to get up about”.  “Meet the Press” is on now- - - and of course his rule of thumb goes “Any violence in the Mideast is good for my poll numbers” so the more they talk about it on NBC the happier Romney is.  Pat Buchannon thinks we should yank our foreign aid to Egypt if they don’t start showing us a little respect, and I can’t argue with that.  Today is September 16, 2012 – so it’s “El dia de la Independencia” for all our Chicano friends.  Today is also of course “El ultima Domingo en verano”.  Today is BOSC land is a rather dubious anniversary.  It’s the 31^st anniversary of the last time we took Toby to any park before the dog got too sick.  I think the other members in the party were Pete Richards, Dragon Lady (you BOC fans) Jeane Hayse, Vicky, and me and Laura, of course.  Eddie Haskel wants me to tell all you people if you see Dragon Lady today to walk up to her and say “Tu tiennes un cara como Puerco”.  Of course out friends at NBC know you should celebrate today’s festivities with “Puerco”.  Of course as you know that Sam Bassile guy was questioned by authorities yesterday because perhaps making that inflamitory film violated his parole terms for bank fraud in 2009 or whatever, because he was forbidden to use anything involving the internet.  But it’s just like Dr. Levy to “drop the ball” on this one.  We did not discuss current affairs at yesterday’s gathering.  We did not discuss Rosh Hashana even though Dr. Levy is a Jew.  We did not discuss that sheet he handed out last week and then collected at the end of class.  We were only a small way through it.  We did not watch the video on Dr. Levy’s Italy trip three months ago.  (I’ve about given up hope on that)  And we did not discuss signing permission slips for use or our poetry and other writings in that upcoming book Dr. Levy plans to compile- - but seems to have forgotten all about it.  What we did discuss last week of course was technology, which wasn’t bad.  But he has no follow through, just like USC could not rest on the laurals of a 14 to 7 lead yesterday.  With Netenyaho as chief spokesman in chief for the Mitt Romney campaign, none of us can rest there, either.  In fact these days, given my recent record, I’m not predicting anything about anything.  I have no real complaint about Netenyaho’s “drawing a line in the sand” or “in the red zone”.  Netenyahoo pointed out that John Kennedy drew a line in the water in Cuba with the Soviet armeda, and the Russians did not cross it- - and this may well have prevented the necessity for World War III.

Well, Stanford beat USC tonight 21 to 14 in a game that literally shredded USC’s reputation as a number two team, a designation I’m not sure how they got in the first place because they beat a couple of nothing teams their first two games.  They got off to a strong 21 to 14 start and it looked like more was easily obtainable.  There was a risky fourth and 19 play they did and picked up 24 yards.  But later as they were about to push their lead to two touchdowns they began dropping passes and getting sacked all over the place.  At one point the FOX commentator said “You can feel the momentum of this game shifting to Stanford, as if by conformance to a script.  It was soon after this that Stanford scored making it fourteen all, and then Stanford pushed it to 21 points.  So USC’s scoring was confined to the early minutes of the game.  But like I say I felt the FOX commentator was definitely biased.  The game was some four minutes in progress at the stroke of five, and the game ended at 8:25.  Well now it’s just a game best forgotten about.  On ABC they had Notre Dame and Michigan State and Notre Dame easily handled the Spartans.  This game put’s USC’s entire post season bowl championship plans in doubt.  I can’t imagine what USC was thinking with some really bad play decisions.

Bill has been generous with the cigarettes.  We had peanut butter and jelly sandwiches from Donnie.  I watched the Mc Laughlin group and it was a four to one gang-up of conservatives against the lone liberal, Eleanor Clift.  If they all want to agree that the moon is made out of green cheese what should I care?  I went out near the end of the game and James was playing Led Zeppelin I and I listened to “You Shook Me” and “Dazed and Confused”.  The AC continues to work well and it’s a good thing since it’s still probably above eighty outside.  I made coffee about seven and poured Bill a large cup.  It’s almost like USC threw the game because there were so many obvious bad plays, dropped passes, and bad play calling.  I haven’t checked my blogger numbers and right now I guess the lower the better. Later on I went out once more on the patio and James was playing "Back in the Saddle Again" followed by "Draw the Line" and I watched N C I S on C B S.

What we all have been wondering is that age old question “Does Time itself have ontological existence”?  Remember when you use that word if you can’t substitute the word “necessary” as in “necessary existence”, then you’ve picked the wrong word.  Does Time itself have “substantive” existence?  Albert Einstein for at least most of his life was not clear on this issue.  The answer greatly changes how we view the world.  As you know me and Dr. Albert disagree on the “necessary existence” of the eubiquitus “Ether” substance.  I maintain- - again strictly by deductive logic- - that part of the definition of “Wave” is the notion of a “Medium” of propagation.  I bet even Fred Price agrees with my logic here.  I wanted to point out that the Evangelist of last Friday made the following statement.  He said “If you fall short of the Grace of God then you allow a root of bitterness to spring up”.  First of all in Evangelical circles all sorts of power has been attributed to this “root of bitterness” from the Hanta virus to the attack of 9 – 11 on the Twin Towers.  This “root of bitterness” is kind of this eubiquitus “Thing” out there that we are to be deathly afraid of.  But let’s back up a bit.  Implicit in the word Grace is the notion of “bridging the gap between requirement and performance.  That is, if you should fall short of your goal, then you are allowed grace.  The idea of “falling short of Grace” is kind of an oxy-moromisum, in this sense.   Not only the notion of “falling short of Grace” is something that shouldn’t be happening, or more strongly “Doesn’t happen”.  No less than John Calvin goes farther.  He says “Falling short of God’s grace- - - CAN’T happen”.  It’s too bad these tea totteler evangelists on the right don’t read Calvin.  Besides- - since Grace is morally neutral to begin with- - on this basis alone “falling short of it” would be no moral vice.  (Selah)

There's a Slow Train Coming

"
"The traffic lights -they may turn blue tomorrow"
"I know what I want but I just don't Know - how to go about getting it"

"Wait a minute, something's wrong.  My key won't unlock this door"

Fred Mac Murray says, "If you're a Stanford man, attempting to catch the night train won't necessarily save you.  Not if you should you should run into an unplanned detour"

The men on the cliff fortress said to David and Johnathin, "Why don't you come up here and we'll teach you a thing or two".  David said to Johnathin, "That's what I was hoping he would say".

OFFICIAL SIRIUS A KARATE BELT COLORS IN ASCENDING ORDER

I'd like now to revert to one of our favorite topics of snail mail, particularly in the early days, notibly religious symbolism.  Some of you no doubt may prefer to return when we're doing another topic, but I do believe this outing will be productive or else I wouldn't do it.  Today at three PM I was looking for something to break my routine to watch on TV.  At first I thought I could catch the east coast feed of the Jim Lerr news hour or whatever it's called now.  That didn't work out.  So I went to KTBN where this evangelist was speaking and preaching.  I was curious whether the tea party had completely taken over a station like channel 40 or whether there was yet a remnent of "that old time religion".  I was in luck.  I must confess that before this I was thinking of doing a piece on the upcoming Hebrew Newyear, which is on the new moon on the seventeenth.  I had had a vague hunch that something good or profitable would happen this Monday, but I don't know "where I got that from" even before I knew it was a Jewish holiday.  So "Felis Rosh Hashana" everybody.  I used the Spanish word there because there is just a shade of varience in the meaning that I wanted to go with here, rather than the English which makes it sound too much like 'Happenstance".  Of course Rosh means "breath" as I understand it and "first breath" would be when a new baby is born, you Zachery fans.  And in the Hebrew life begins when you draw your first breath, not forty days after conception, OR at the very moment of conception.  (A Biblical admonition for all you Pro Life people)  Of course Zachery means "rememberance" or perhaps a more Spirit led translation might be "Jehovah remembers and keeps his Word".  And we at the ZAC had to of our own will power "MAKE" all those lyrics in Queen and David Bowie songs come true.  I mean according to Wayne Dyre - - we each have that kind of Power.  "And if you are the first to go - - you'll leave a Sign to let us know" or in like manner the same group in 9:5 alluded to a "Slow Train Coming".  Not a fast train but a slow train that is inexerable and unstoppable, to the extent that at the station you get no red carpet escort, you have to jump on a moving train yourselves, like hobos, or as Christians you "Come to the Faith in terms of your own poverty".  In keeping with this symbolism it's a "Night Train" going north (a Romulan direction for good as opposed to South) and metaphorically it arrives at midnight or according to the Bible verse that goes "The night is far spent".

I'm going to jump in right now and say something.  I am reasonably confident of a Trojans victory over Stanford on Saturday.  Mal Evans and the Federation will be backing the Trijans.  But Stanford has beaten USC the previous three years, if I have that right.  Last year we all thought the game was in the bag, but it wasn't.  This year one can look at the "troops" like General Eisenhaur at Normandae and be reasonably confident of a Victory, but he can never be sure until the battle is actually fought.  I just now that for Mal Evans this is an Important and almost Necessary Victory to Attain.

But I'd like to get to the Evangelist's words themselves.  He said that the whole Nation of Israel was a veritable Bible textbook of symbolism in every river, lake, and mountain.  He then began talking about Grace, and here I'd like to employ Days of Our Lives to illustrate in my own fashion using this Justin Martyr technique of "shadow precedes Substance" logic.  We of course can be seen as seeds or developing fetuses in this Earthly life- - but when we are born "We shall be changed" (over and over again, ha ha) in the words of Handel's Messiah, and though we are still part of a singular Divine master blue print, our outward nature will appear very different.  We just don't know how.  Chuck Smith was once asked "Will we recognize each other in Heaven?" and Chuck Smith wisely answered "Of course we will.  You don't expect us to be dumber in heaven than we are now, do you?"  Good point.  But the Evangelist began talking about Grace and quoted the Apostle Paul in saying "The Law came through Moses, but Grace and Truth come to us through Jesus Christ".  This is a Marcionite doctrine and harkens back to the Greek.  In the words of Ronnie Van Zant "I know a little" about Greek, but I would not venture to be qualified to "guess the rest".  I only get a glimmer of the Greek language and how they tick now and then.  The Evangelist pointed out that "Grace and Truth" are translated from one word in the Greek.  If this be so then it may harken back to the Greek saying that "Truth is Beauty and Beauty is Truth".  One might think of a balerina or something here.  But the Evangelist goes on to say that another Hebrew word is substituted in the translation Jews get.  There the word "Hassad" or something (?) is substituted.  It's one of those gutteral H's like someone clearing their throat.  At any rate "Hassad" means "Loving kindness", which adorns so much of the Old Testament.  As you know I am down on the word Grace personally.  I'd like to get back to that Days of our Lives example if you will allow.  Israel the mother gave birth to Yeshuah, the son.  But there is a BUT here.  Because somehow there was a baby substitution and Grace was mistaken to be the child and not Yeshuah.  But alas after a few short weeks Grace became seriously ill and died.  Which brings me to a Romulan saying I have a wordier translation of that goes "Grace left to its own devices brings about it's own Destruction".  Grace is morally neutral.  Grace can never save you- - if you define Salvation as attaining to a moral high bar.  You have to rely on Works for that.  As I have said, the first law of Karma is 'You Are what you Do"  (Selah)  Grace unto itself is morally Neutral like a gun or a car or a skip-loader.  It can be employed to do a great ammount of good, but misused it can result in the deaths of a lot of innocent human beings.  Just remember that Grace in the hands of an absolute Despot, such as Henry VIII is no virtue, and lacking it is no vice, morally or karmicly.  Grace is employed by Despots as his own moral Tool- - - employed as a workman may use any "Tool" to get the job done that he wants accomplished.  (Selah)  I'd like to return to Justin Martyr.  He seems to be the first major Christian theologian whose writings we still have, that advanced his Judaization of Marcionism, as some sort of a theological "treaties".  This Judaization - - or Jewish symbolism in everything you see around you- - - is something Justin felt if he could steep himself enough in, he'd eventually be able to get out of hot water with the Jews to make a stronger product.  Another big Theme of the Evangelist on channel 40 of course was "The salvation of the Jew", which has been a pipe dream, apparently since the days of the Apostle Paul and Romand 9, 10 and 11 or there abouts.  But to quote my own "scripture" on the matter "Now what's right is right- - - but You ain't been Right yet".  (Selah)   I'd like to close with an admonition to myself.  In talking about Monday I hope I'm just not blowing sunshine up my own ass.  If Monday turns out to be the worst day of the year I'll look pretty stupid.  I'd also like to admonish myself "Let not him who puts on the armor brag like one who takes it off".  We'll leave it to later Saturday night, when hopefully I'll have other things to add to this posting.

Burt Lombard it turns out was the principle proponent of Mal Evan's siding with the Branch Davidians against the FBI in that conflict of spring of 1993.  Mal admitted to me today "Frankly when I first heard of the horrible news - - I didn't know what to make of it".  I was thinking to myself while he said this "Gee- - and you're the guy who's supposed to be the Posessor of All Knowledge".  But it was Burt, the cosmic Ted Neugent that stressed to Mal the importance of the United States constitution and the guarentee of all people to practice their Religious Faith in peace and security, free of governmental hassassment.  Of course- - - Burt cast off this fleshly veil just a little after the Waco compound burned to the ground.  So I'm not sure when Mal came out with his Waco stance.  Of course while Burt was in his fleshly body, he was a Mormon, which at the time was regarded as another persecuted, innocent religion.  People on the right have sounded the alarm of all sorts of Dire things and edicts the government has planned for us in the upcoming four years.  Back in those days the FBI had just had the Ruby Ridge incident, which didn't turn out well.  I would not now blame Bill Clinton for what happened at Waco, though I must admit I was of an entirely different oppinion then.  I saw Janet Reno as practically The Beast Incarnate, devoid of a conscience.  Rush Limbaugh himself noted the enormous ammount of blame passing.  What do you do when met by men in black brandishing guns?  How safe would any of us feel if you didn't know the ethical mind set of those approaching you?  And how much less secure would you feel if they had military tanks & other impliments following right behind you?  This is just something for us all to contemplate- - - while there is still Time.  In Revelation there is a verse that goes "And the word game down that there should be Time no more".  Not time as chronology but the sort of "Time" that a person with a doctor's death sentense from terminal cancer yearns for.  To him Time is thee most precious thing he can imagine.  Just contemplate THAT.

What Makes A True Leader?

It’s a question of leadership and which of the two political Presidential candidates do we want with his finger on the launch button?  Clearly Romney and Ryan have little to no foreign policy experience.  Romney is a man who loves to parrot phrases he thinks will win him support but even if he occasionally says something Americans go along with we know he doesn’t believe it.  Romney is like a parrot, like Pete Richards, who got good grades in college because he had a talent for regurgitating back the things the teachers had said in class, that he really didn’t believe.  Romney is that “thing of wax” that Jefferson spoke of that the Constitution was in peril of becomming, that could be melted down and used again with a new impression, like the Etch-a-sketch of its day.  Romney uses the same phrase of “American excellence” but he doesn’t mean it the same way President Obama uses the term.  James Dobson was talking about “leadership” when it comes to “getting your woman to fall in line”, and Dobson seem to voice the opinion that bringing back wife beating wouldn’t be such a bad idea.  He then went on to say that “These women have issues have issues going back to when they were little girls, and never got the proper male role model from their father to know the place of the female sex.”  Romney says “I want to cut taxes for the middle class but not taxes for the rich.  (in this he was referring to his stance on Capital Gains taxes, and I will vouch that he said it during the campaign.  I’ll also say that Romney’s tax policy of 25% is not as bad as Gingrich proposed, of 15%)  But the written Republican platform says the rate will be virtually abolished)  Romney says he wants female rape victims to have access to abortion, but we know the platform in writing of his political party says otherwise.  And unlike the Democrats who had an objectionable plank in their platform involving God, Romney took no steps to alter any plank of the Republican platform including abortions to save the life of the mother.  Romney is that classic individual who was born on third base and thinks he hit a triple.  He by his many interactions during the campaign exhibits an appaling lack of familiarity with the most basic day to day problems people have to face.  You are bombarded with this “out of touch” feeling when he comes across a veteran in a wheel chair apparently in pain and medical marijuana is the only thing that helps and he’s asked if he were President “Would you have people like me arrested?” and Romney just said “My position is that I’m against medical marijuana.  Often, as pointed out on the Stephanie Miller problem - - Leadership Qualities are not simply using brute force to compel others to do your will but rather to use perswasion and identification and cooperation with the needs of others to encourage them inwardly to go along with your positions, and THAT is the way to get things accomplished for America.  Many times there are too many flame throwers such as the Media’s seeming exaguration of these protests overseas to try and perhaps manufacture some war scenario crisis where “The whole Moslem world has turned against us” with all these Moslem protests of that movie.  Now on the roster of nations yesterday was added Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan, and today I guess Syria and Lebanon join the list.  We got a sample of “the possible world of Mitt Romney” back with the Waco incident in the spring of 1993 and I just watched that forty minute film yesterday.  You have these ATF “pig” men in black or whatever- - strongarming this collection of families who just want to live in peace.  And there appears, and we only have their word, no small amount of lying by the FBI on just what happened at Waco.  Many issues I can agree with true conservatives on.  For instance I agree with Ron Paul on such issues as medical marijuana and Presidential war powers, and aspects of the Patriot act.  I have in common with the right- - identifying with the words of four Presidents, Lincoln, Roosevelt, Jefferson and Jackson.  All four in their day has strong words condemning the actions of the US Supreme Court of their day.  And I agree with them that the Supreme Court should not ucerp the legislative process carried out by men actually elected by the people into power.  Justice Guinsberg after all is 121 years old or whatever- - and will probably be the next justice to be replaced by whoever is President next year.  Therefore your vote this November becomes especially vital.  Sometimes real leadership is a question of moving chess pieces around.  For instance we needed Saddam Hussein of Iraq to keep Iran in line and absorb the bulk of their bellicose threats, and with Iraq turned Shiite, now that attack is targeted directly on Israel itself.  Being President is not the easiest job in the world.  That’s why so few ever attain to it.  For Presieent Obama to say that the jury is still out on the Egyptian government now- - that means we still have a choice in just “what opinion they will form about America” based on our subsequent action.  To do the whole Judy right wing flame thrower routing is ill advised.  There is an old fashioned word called Temperance, and this is one quality Mitt Romney is lacking.

Here is a "metaphysically correct version of John chapter one.  In the Beginning was the Command and the Command said "It is not good for me to be alone" so he had sex with his Twin Sister, and they begat three children and their names were Time, Space, and Psychic Awareness.  And Time did have a Son and the name of the son was called Chance.  And Time begat many sons just like Chance.  But though they every one was different, they all honored their Mother, Logic.  And behold Space had an alias and his alias was "The God particle".  And the God particle beget two twins named matter and gravity.  And their grandfather Command did say to them, Ye shall grow up to be Mighty Rulers.  And the third son of Command was in the likeness of his father, for his father did say to him "Thou hast insight, and because thou hast Insight- - - it shall follow like the night doth the day, that thou shalt also have Will- - and in this way I shall be Glorified for as far as anyone can see into the future.

This is Thursday morning September 13, 2012 just after breakfast.  One person on the Stephanie Miller show said just now “I’m not pro or anti Moslem.  I’m for anybody who wants to work out our mutual problems peaceably”.  I have noted that a lot of the most astute analyzers of our current situation in the world - - are Black callers.  Time and time again I have noticed this.  Black people have a way of cutting through all the bullshit and getting to the heart of the matter.  I slept quite well last night and got up for the first time at ten after five.  I could have just used the bathroom and gone back to sleep.  But I deliberately wanted to hear what Bill Press was saying on his program about our current problems.

We had chili beans for lunch with corn bread and a green salad, with honeydew for desert.  I had Randy Rhodes on at noon and later on in the hour did that blog post.  I turned on the Soap Opera a little after one and there is a lot of mystifying conversation in that.  At two I turned Randy Rhodes back on.  I took a break at ten to three and turned on Dr. Oz for the last few minutes and the start of the Katie Kuric show till I noticed Bill had dozed off.  I had the computer on looking for that You Tube Islamic video.  First I listened to portions of two bluesy songs by the Black Keys.  Then I had an NBC piece on Harry Reed and Romney’s taxes and the commentator was sympathetic to Obama.  Then I listened to three tracks of “Cultesaurus Erectus” of most of Black Blade and Divine Wind, and all of “Deadline”.  Then I watched two trailers from that “innocence” movie and that movie is completely sick.  The actors are horrible and portray people seemed crazed and drugged out or something.  I’d had enough.  Then I watched a “Rules of Engagement’ trailer that featured a massacre of civilians by armed troops.  Then I saw the Waco thing and the Branch Davidian sect in Texas.  This thing ran forty minutes and I watched a good chunk of it.  I was completely sympathetic to their cause until they started quoting all these Bible verses and saying their lives were just like Nahom prophesying against the city of Ninevah.  The FBI began shining lights and playing loud music and other noises, and cut off the power and water in late March as negotiations seemed less hopeful than before.  I took a break to go to dinner and then watched a little more after dinner.  The weather here is heating up and has been getting progressively hotter all afternoon.  Last night I looked at Google weather and they are predicting temperatures over a hundred.  I’m glad out AC is working good.  Nora was here in the afternoon and mopped the floor.  It would seem I’m going to type this whole file in one day, which I can hardly believe.  We will see about tomorrow.

The Last Scoundrel's Refuge- Blaming the Jews

I would like to begin today’s posting by reporting that President Obama has now opened up a double digit lead over Mitt Romney in the latest political opinion polls.  Unfortunately I can’t do that- - - YET.  But just give it a day or two.  Clearly we have been beset with such Political fraud by a movie producer who is now in hiding, that when the American people sort all this all out in their minds, the picture will become right clear. /*** It seems the actors in it were lied to as to the very nature of the movie and words were substituted in the Arab over-dub shown to the Egyptians, to further inflame the situation.  The actors as a whole even issued a statement repuliating this deceptive anti Islamic movie. This movie was produced last August and only was released for the election season. My guess part of what motivates people like Rush Limbaugh is that they don't believe the Libyan people, or any Moslems - - even "deserve to have democracy" so don't respect the outcome of free elections when they are held.  Then we have the movie production itself.  First of all people conflate the attack on the embassy by irate fundamentalist protestors, from the terrorist act of killing four Americans with a rocket propelled grenade, an event which took considerable pre planning and was not some spontaneous act because of the movie.  As you know it’s dangerous to be number two in the Al Qaeda world and the US just bagged the next “number two” the other day in Al Qaeda leadership.  But this was a different leader by a nationalist Libyan group by because one of the leaders in a local Libyan group who had been active since May of this year, had recently met his death and it is the death of leader which the people with the RPG’s were protesting.  These people co-opted so to speak a group of unarmed protesters, who were protesting the movie.  Now Rush Limbaugh is saying that - - you won’t believe this one - - Al Qaeda just “gave up” Bin Laden because they wanted to insure that a softie on terrorism like Obama got elected to another term.  Obviously it’s clear that Romney is doing badly in the polls and is making statements himself and is allowing Rush Limbaugh to make even wilder claims.  Now of course we have statistics saying the poverty rate has stopped increasing, and also the Fed will be stimulating the economy further, so be expecting an improvement in the next economic statistics.  This is of course bad news for the Romney campaign.  But then we come to the movie itself.  Here of course there is out and out misrepresentation.  The producer of this anti Islamic movie- - was Nicole Basillee - - - and he is NOT A JEW but a COPTIC CHRISTIAN.  So clearly the operation was using Israel as cover for themselves with the line “It’s OK - - I’m defending Israel”.  This is no doubt to garner the Jewish vote in November, which the right seems to think they are entitled to.  So the producer is not a Jew- - and his name isn’t Sam Basiel either.  This was clearly an alias.  Now there is yet a different group protesting in Egypt, a youth group called the Soccer Kids. (?)  And as I say the protests of - - The Movie - - have spread to other countries such as Yemen.  So Hillary Clinton has been kept busy putting out these wild fires by making it clear to them that we believe in free speech and violence is always wrong.  But also that we should respect religions of our neighbors for we all came to this nation to seek Religious freedom and this religious freedom is to be extended to all.  

Last night Mike Meloy, with possibly outdated information, had some controversial remarks on all the recent doings.  He ties the whole movie production to Israeli money.  He also said that Netenyaho was politically in bed with Mitt Romney and as such has been pressuring the Obama administration to cooperate with him to go and Nuke Iran or whatever and Obama is refusing.  Netenyaho has been in power for in excess of fifteen years already but the people don’t seem tired of him yet.  But Netenyaho actively wants Mitt Romney to be President and this is Mitt Romney’s foreign policy Ace in the Hole, so to speak.  He went on to say that back on the oritinal 9 – 11 there were people dressed u at Palistinian terrorists or whatever hi fiving and congradulating one another after the Twin Towers were blown up and the NYPD stopped them and began asking questions because they had shown up before the first plane hit with a lot of photographic equipment and such and they told the cops they were all part of the Mossad, or the Israeli CIA and the police let them go.  I don’t want to make of that.   And there was the whole bit about how American sailors were forbidden to talk about what really happened the day the SS Liberty was sunk by Israel, which seems a strange development in my mind, but years later one of them broke rank and write a book on the subject.  Mike Meloy says of his views “Some may ask me if my conclusions are correct than how come so many people could keep a secret like that?” and Mike did not answer his own question.  I have some other foreign names written down here but I can’t mentally place them in any narrative.  But Mike’s main point seemed to be that even now with Obama in power

Now these movie protests have spread to other countries such as Yemen, and of course our State department is going to have to work overtime trying to put out these fires.  Rush Limbaugh decided to continue along the same vein of yesterday’s hysterics although today his fixations became more generalized.  Now he says the whole foreign policy of the United States is a disaster that Obama is presiding over, as the media is in a mad recessitation campaign to quell Obama’s falling in the opinion polls.  He says that all network Reporters think alike and formulate their questions together even though they are austensively competetors.  He says it goes further in that they “establish a narrative” where they form the conclusions first and themce construct questions around the conclusions they already plan to air.  Rush said “I found this out the first time in 1989 when I was invited to come and be interviewed at length by a reporter and found they really weren’t interested on my expositing my views”.  Apparently FOX news ran some “open mike” thing from yesterday.  Rush then criticized people like Dan Rather who said that network news departments were “too obsessed with the Bottom line at the expense of bringing the Real News” a remark that Rush Limbaugh seemed to take strong exception to.  Of course these days not only are science and sociology and all the rest possessing of a “liberal bias” but now mathematics itself has “liberal bias”.  Somebody bought a Renwah at a garage sale in a box with other old paintings.  The thing was signed by Renwah and the buyer thought he might get some money selling the painting just for it’s gold frame.  But then some art appraiser told the man that he could get upwards of $750,000 for the painting and he went for the deal.

I ended up listening to pretty much the whole first hour of Rush Limbaugh.  I listened to the first long segment which lasted till 9:25 and then went out for another cigarette.  While out on the patio there was this series about four sustained shakings and rumblings of the whole building.  It didn’t seem to be earthquakes so much as some sort of a giant subsonic generator of some kind.  There was a trash truck nearby but they don’t generate that kind of sonic energy.  There were a couple more of these waves of shakings and rumblings once I got back here.  I dialed around looking for some media explanation and there was nothing.  So I went back to Rush Limbaugh and listened to him ramble increasingly incoherently till about ten to ten when I turned off the radio and turned on the TV.  There was some cooking show where they were making some fancy desert, and when they hit a break I turned Rush back on and listened to the final five minutes of rant for the hour.  Naturally he never took a phone call.  He says he’s so disorganized because “I can’t keep up with my brain” and he also said that he “also had three more hours of material ready to go as of noon yesterday” when he went off the air.  Basically Rush Limbaugh was and is living in a fantasy world of his own made up facts.  I have my doubts with his mental state today, whether he would pass a standard test for medical Sanity.

Libyan Extremists Strike US Embassy

The first question anyone should ask of any situation is "What happened".  If you can't get that right, then all of your subsequent conclusions and oppinions will be wrong.  Last evening when I did that other post I had said that there were incidents with the US flag in Egypt as potestors took exception to that hatchet piece of a movie on the life of the Prophet Mohamed, among other things.  The movie went on to stress how inately violent Islam was and accused the Prophet Mohamed of being a child molester, a change I heard once before about twenty years ago- - from a Black guy of all people.  The guy may possibly have been funded by Shelby Addelson with supposed Israeli connects - -for the movie project, and apparently the Libyans and Egyptians only saw the movie trailer on TV.  The whole Movie wasn't even out yet.  To diffuse a volitile situation our officials said they did not condone anybody producing such a movie and that it was wrong.  Later on in the night and subsequent to my post,  the whole situation erupted in Libya when some Islamic extramists were looking to avenge the death of some Al Qaeda leader and saw the movie protests as a cover for their actions.  So they killed the US embassador and three other Americans.  This embassador it turns out had supported the Libyan people in their drive for freedom and to overthrow Qadafi and as such was a hero to the Libyan people and they mourned for him.  The Libyan government apologised to the United States and vowed to do everything to help down the killers.  We now segway to Mit Romney who attacks President Obama for "apologising to Moslems- - which is something no United States President should ever do".  The trouble is that the President had not even responded yet.  MItt Romney kept talking about how "We can't have a President who gives mixed signals".  But both Hillary and the President stated in no uncertain terms that we would track down the killers and in essence - - they were not long for this world.  President Obama chided Mitt Romney saying that he has a tendancy to shoot first and aim later.  Added to this mix is Rush Limbaugh who doubled down on Romney's remarks and added a few zingers of his own.  Republican leaders had gotten on Romney's case saying his speech was improper protocol in not allowing the President to speak first.  Rush goes off on this "Jumping the gun" phrase".  There has also been the alligation that President Obama is no friend of Israel and therefore is cursed by God.  And yet the Israeli President said that President Obama, was the greatest supporter of Israel that country has ever had from the US.  Also President Obama made some new weapons protection system available to them, which he herolded as a vital step forward.  So that's the situation.  My guess is that the American people have little stomach for someone like Mitt Romney will will not rally around their President in times of national crisis.  In other words, the candidate stepped way over the line of propriety.  My guess is that Romney's move was one of desperation because Romney is sliding in the polls.  I would also imagine that many fundamentalist Christians are just in love with the idea of taunting and inflaming the Islamic with this trash piece Movie production, that I guess can be found on You Tube.

I had a dream that was mixed up.  We had some “post” that was our residence near an amusement park.  It was Dad and Mom and Paul along with a whole lot of friends I didn’t know of both sexes.  Dad wanted to rig it so we could reserve space for our friends.  There was some provision where we could activate our gun site and declare ourselves as autonamus and would provide our own armed protection from the many crime elements and law enforcement would not protect us.  One time one of the females went out in the dead of night on the driveway near the sidewalk- - stark naked.  She said she wanted to get herself arrested.  So she stood there and I was wondering how long it would take.  I don’t know what happened.  There was an amusement park on a lower level over a bluff.  You went down this wooden stairway like they have at piers on the beach.  President Obama and his family were there.  And I decided I would go jogging with the first family to see if I could keep up but I was warned they were all in good shape.  They jogged around the outside of this arena thing along the circular corridor.  Then they jogged down stairs and around a certain site at the amusement park and jogged back up the stairs and around the circular corridor again.  Then they repeated that identical course and on the third circle of the arena I was getting tired but not that tired.  Then they went down for the final trek down to the amusement park.  And it had started pouring down and I decided it wasn’t worth it- - and besides I’d probably end up collapsing in a heap because I knew I didn’t have the energy for any more.

Proposition 35 apparently is an attempt to stem the growing sex trade profession where young girls are bought and sold as sex slaves.  As one comentator pointed out "human trafficking" is more lucritive than drugs because you use a drug once and it's gone and have to get more.  But these children you can exploit over and over again.  One source said that within five years trafficking in young girls will exceed the ammount of cash profit that even the drug trade has now.  As such ANY law that could be passed is sorely needed.  Women are exploited around the world, particularly in African countries where they are not only raped, but sexually mutelated.  And the United States is doing nothing about - - That.  We're too busy trying to take the next mountain pass from Al Qaeda.  Of course I've said this before and I got it from Tom Hartman.  The truth is that the best form of controling the exploding world population is to empower women to have control over their own bodies.  But it's hard to have that in a world where it's the rape victim rather than the rapist that gets stoned, and of arranged marriages at twelve, where the wife is expected to pump out one child after another for the next twenty years.  I think women know which side their bread is buttered on in terms of voting.  It isn't someone whose so insecure she has to announce "I love you women".  That's like a politician going into a Hebrew community and proclaming "I love you Jews!"  Think about it.

When you wake u this morning and see all hell breaking loose in the news, one still might be inclined to pray about it- - - till you realize that the future is pre determined- - and that includes just who will be our next President, which is as certain now as it is on January 21, 2013, or for that matter, the day Julius Ceasar was slain in the Roman forum on the Ides of March.  You have to remember that the future and the past are alike to the Almighty.  There is no "special property" to the future that the past does not also posess, and there is no special property to the past that the future does not already posess.  One cannot even say WHEN the Cosmos was Created because- - - outside of that Creation itself there is no Time reference we can gauge by.  (Selah)  It's just as relivent to say that the earth was created on October 21st 4004 BC is to say that it was created a week from next Monday.  Some may believe that "God" is some "collective unconscious" of all our souls, and that together this collective unconscious "Creates" the future.  It's a nice sentament, but I don't think so.  I would like to say just one more thing about - - - Time.  As I mentioned on a previous post- - all of the other dimensions of space and properties of Things and such and the psychic or karmic realm- - - can all exist at the same Time.  But Time is a proprietary hog in that all the other dimensions are dependant on IT.  Why this is so I don't know.  It could be a really simple, obvious answer.  I just haven't thought of it yet.  What we want to know about- - - Things, are four things.  We want to know WHAT IS IT, and we want to know HOW WAS IT CREATED, and then we want to know WHY WAS IT CREATED, which is a teliological notion involving the Diety.  And lastly we want to QUANTIFY IT.  That is to say how much mass and space- - and even Time that it takes up.  In other words it's emperical properties.  As I told you before but I'll repeat it- - - TIME controls an awful lot.  But the second "dimension" of time is utterly unseen by us because we are one-dimensional or "linear" by nature.  We were made that way.

The Twelfth Ingredient

First let me extend greetings to all new readers.  We've been in the process of revamping our templates and this is the forth blog to be so renovated.  However after this posting look for immediate subsequent postings in the next week or so to be in "Karmic Suicide" spalled "karmique", which will get you a lot of Google entries in French, I found out.  All of my eleven blogs have catchy and descriptive titles endeavoring to represent some different aspects of some universal truths.  This title was inspired by Donald Regan's book "For the Record" where he saw himself as the President in waiting, so to speak.  Unfortunately he had to compete with wife Nancy Reagan for that position.  There was a lot of friction between Donald and Nancy back in 1985, because Nancy was trying to turn Ron on to astrology and such and they had conflicting ideas about how to run the President's affairs.  Both perhaps sensed that Ronnie was beginning to go just a little senile or something.  Of course you had various health concerns like the pollup that was removed from the President's collin after a colonoscopy, which thank God I've managed to get to age sixty without having.  My own doctor is not one known to worry about stuff that will probably never matter.  If you hit the May of 2006 link you will see a whole lot of our record compilations of hit classic rock songs, and the address for this blog is record-str.

Of course I'm a fan of Kitty Kelly and her biography of Nancy Reagan.  But now there is another source that is stirring contraversy out there.  It seems that the Church of Scientology was personally "auditioning" wives for actor Tom Cruise.  Katie Holmes was selected because Tom wanted someone who was "strong on her own".  Of course now it's splits ville.  But before Katie the previous November there was this London born Iranian actress named Benvenatti (?) or something.  The first date they had they did not have sex but soon they were living together and Tom gave her access to his credit cards because these were her ONLY source of money since the Church had ordered her to break up with her boyfriend before she could even meet Tom Cruise.  But then when the relationship went sour, as with Katie, her relationship went sour with the church.  They slapped a non disclosure gag order on her.  But when that didn't work they sent her to one of the Sea Org "punishment centers" where she had to do such menial labor as scrubbing toilets out with a toothbrush.  Of course many say these events will not detur them from going to new Tom Cruise movies.  I can relate to that because actors are there for our entertainment and their personal lives should have no bearing on their professionality.  However in terms of personal respect for Tom Cruise the man, obviously this will be seriously impacted.

People say that fame may be a prerequisite for becomming president.  Well, Phil Specter is renound for his fame and a real reputed musical tallent according to some (but not me),  John Lennon barely escaped his clutches during the Rock and Roll album of late 1973, and Specter took all the studio tapes and threatened never to give them back unless certain conditions were met.  Fortunately for John, he relented and gave the tapes back and the album eventually came out.  Of course the ironic thing is that both "Walls and Bridges" and "Double Fantasy" have this Specter-esque "sound" to them, so in a professional sense little was gained.  Personally I think John should have stuck with me and Yoco and he'd have never gotten into trouble.  "What do you mean by that??"  Oh, you'll find out in time.  I cannot recall word one that John Lennon ever expressed about Ronald Reagan.  Surely he must have had oppinions, and we would love to hear them.  Clint Eastwood says that liberal actors are more "out there" as a rule with their oppinions on all sorts of things, including psychiatry.  Clint himself was kind of a liberal that was hiding his spots.  Just how he got suckered into doing that little skit Thursday night in the convention hall is a mystery to me.  My guess is that WHEN rather than IF the President is reelected Clint Eastwood will look back on the whole affair as some nightmare he'd like to forget.

Organically grown food isn't all what it's cracked up to be.  It's nutritional content, despite the vitamin comercials, is about the same as conventional store bought produce.  However it is usually safer, freer from poisonous additives.  However there is that Quincy episode where a wife grew vegetables organically grown but the soil had organo phosphates or nerve gas in it, so the man died while losing his balance working on construction saffolding.  Purity products says we may not be getting enough magnesium in our diets.  Magnesium is a marvelous substance that's found in milk, and also green leafy vegetables such as spinach and parsley, so drink your V8.  However the Purity commercial claims that nutritional magnesium in our food has gone down.  Magnesium is found in over 300 chemical reactions in the body.  It's valuable in assimilating the value of things we eat, particularly in the assimilation of calcium, and lack of it can cause things from muscle cramps, insomnia, migranes, and bone health.  I have had a "low weight" problem lately, and I've wondered whether I am not properly assimilating foods.  I have no digestive or bowel problems, so either it's cancer, or some undetected "assimilation problem" that might be remedied by magnesium.

You never want "tired eggs".  This is not just a sexist doctor statement but a literal truth.  The rate of normal occurring miscarriages is a lot higher than I ever suspected but perhaps a quarter of pregnencies in forty year old women result in misscarriages.  The potentiality for gene and chromosone damage goes up a thousand percent - - - I'm not kidding - - with women over forty.  I've heard from another source that one in twelve women over forty give birth to a mongoloid child.  They are working in in-utero genetic surgery to cure this problem, but not yet.  Drinking coffee increases misscarriages and smoking ages the overies.  The ovaries of a 35 year old smokes are the same as the ovaries in a 42 year old non smoker.  Many say that stress during a pregnancy can psychological impact the child's brain chemistry, so watch that.  The Bible says to "cling to the wife of your youth" but if you wait till you're thirty to get married, as far as the Bible is concerned you'll never have a "youth" because life expectancy was only forty years to begin with.

I'd like to talk about the Twelfth Ingredient.  As you know there are eleven members on a football team.  The audience, the spectators, the ones for whom the game is for, is the twelfth man.  Without them some may argue it can't really be called a game.  In like manner the eleven herbs and spices in the colonel's secret fried chicken recipe, can't be called the whole shabang.  Because there is that twelfth ingrediant - - human taste buds, to tast and enjoy that chicken.  If you look up at night at the signs of the Zodiac you will only see eleven in any one night because the Sun is obviously in the twelfth, so that one is pretty much unavailable to look at at the time.  So it is with the Eleven Dimensions.  There are by my new arrangement system (not that the older systems are invalid but here's something New for you all) one can argue that at any one TIME there are only Eleven Dimensions.  Because these eleven can be experianced all at once- - at any given time.  There is what I call the Awareness Tetraheden, which is something new.  Picture karmic space, karmic "gravity", karmic will, and karmic awareness- - - being arranged in a tetrahedren with little balls separated by some kind of rod connecters or something. Now you can do the same thing with material objects.  You have WHAT is the object made out of, HOW was the object designed and constructed, WHY have this object around anyhow.  What is it for? And the fourth- - and this one overlaps with one mentioned already, AWARENESS or perception of that object, which kind of makes the other three useless without it.  It's that old tree falling in the forest analogy.  It's like the twelfth man in the football game, or the taster of the fried chicken.  So we have described seven dimensions with the one overlapping on both tetrahedens, which is like a pyramid, but it's a more scientifically accurate term.  Of course we only know a singular line of time, which would be just one dimension, when two would offer so many additional permutations, if you know what I mean. Time lines in my Cosmic Creation model never bend, and never cross.  (Selah)  This leaves three more- - - length, width, and height.  That makes eleven.  Now here is a word about GOD.  Some say that all creation is of God and by God and FOR God.  If this is so then ponder another scripture with me.  "With God all things are possible".  In order for ALL things to be possible, than my adage of "Anything that CAN happen HAS happened- - in some other dimension of - - - TIME.  But it's a "place" we can never get to by any power I know of.  Time is the great over-ruler in that every other aspect of the Universe has to pass muster with IT.  Well, these are just a few ideas I think it would be wise to ponder.  I'll see you in the next posting in "Karmic Suicide" to look for me there.
