The Art of Warfare by Sun Tsu

Above all remember this: “There is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged warfare." ” 

The Art of War Quotes 

“Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak.” 

“The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.” 

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.” 

“Supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.”

“Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.” 

“Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win” 

“All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.” 

like

“If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. If sovereign and subject are in accord, put division between them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected .” 

“The art of war is of vital importance to the State. It is a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin. Hence it is a subject of inquiry which can on no account be neglected.” 

like

“Thus we may know that there are five essentials for victory: 
1 He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight. 
2 He will win who knows how to handle both superior and inferior forces.
3 He will win whose army is animated by the same spirit throughout all its ranks. 
4 He will win who, prepared himself, waits to take the enemy unprepared. 
5 He will win who has military capacity and is not interfered with by the sovereign.” 

“Engage people with what they expect; it is what they are able to discern and confirms their projections. It settles them into predictable patterns of response, occupying their minds while you wait for the extraordinary moment — that which they cannot anticipate.” 
― Sun Tzu, The Art of War

“There is no instance of a nation benefitting from prolonged warfare.” 

“Move swift as the Wind and closely-formed as the Wood. Attack like the Fire and be still as the Mountain.” 

“When the enemy is relaxed, make them toil. When full, starve them. When settled, make them move.” 

“The greatest victory is that which requires no battle.” 

“In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity” 

“Treat your men as you would your own beloved sons. And they will follow you into the deepest valley.” 

“When you surround an army, beware!  Do not press a desperate foe too hard. Never let your enemy get into a psychological state of thinking he has nothing to lose with outrageous risks” 

“There are not more than twelve musical notes, yet the combinations of these five give rise to more melodies than can ever be heard. 

There are not more than three primary colours, yet in combination
they produce more hues than can ever been seen.

There are not more than four cardinal tastes, yet combinations of
them yield more flavours than can ever be tasted.” 

“So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong, and strike at what is weak.” 

“One may know how to conquer without being able to do it. ” 

“To win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill” 

like

“What the ancients called a clever fighter is one who not only wins, but excels in winning with ease.” 

“He who is prudent and lies in wait for an enemy who is not, will be victorious.” 
― Sun Tzu, The Art of War

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, your victory will not stand in doubt; if you know Heaven and know Earth, you may make your victory complete.”

And now for a few closing thoughts.  Thom Hartman does not believe Democrats should press the matter about Supreme Court nominations to our democratic base in terms of turning out that base to vote for democratic senate candidates.   Hartman is making a gross error in logic.  The Republicans will do this very thing with FOX news and the game- - to make the Supreme Court nominations an issue WHETHER WE DO ANYTHING OR NOT so it is pointless NOT to fight back on this issue.  When you have the moral high ground my philosophy is to charge forward with all guns blazing on this issue!  The last five Sun Tsu sayings appear to be from a different web site than the others.  (If I don't know, who does?)

In this late afternoon update, courtessy Norman Goldman, it almost sounds like a 'police riot" because it appears to be the police who escalated the situation.  I was told it wasn't tear gas that was used, and not chlorine gas either, but CS gas, which is a type of neuro toxin, like bug spray for humans, that makes your nervous system go nuts, and eventually results in death.  It would appear from the armored vehicles that it was like Beirut in the 'eighties or something.  As to the two reporters arrested- - I still don't know WHY these two reporters in a Mac Donalds were arrested.  Maybe someone can explain it to me.  Also there is a glairing inconsistency and I'll pay Sean Hannity a million dollars I haven't got if he can address what I'm about to say now- - when the government confronted Cliven Bundy- - it was Bundy who told the government 'You have no right to be here.  This is my land!"  Armed to the teeth and threatening government people with their weapons and it was the government who backed off because they want "want another Ruby Ridge".   Since the days of Ruby Ridge and Waco, it seems there has been some major "shift' in the way the government handles right wingers.  And when the Tea Part people show up at Obama rallies wielding weapons - and being mennacing, they aren't tear gassed or have concussion weapons used on them.  Why the difference?   It looks like race to me?  Can you find any other variable that has changed?

Hartman points out that rather than feeling beseiged with all the crime making the cops battle weary or something in a suburb of St Louis- - quite the opposite is true.  They are agressive twords Blacks and other protestors NOT because they are under so much of a work load, but because THEY ARE BORED.   Most of the time police drive around with nothing to do - nobody to bust because it's a peaceful community, and they need to DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT.   Bush has his own stimulus plan after 9 - 11 where it was like a rummage sale on anti terrorism stuff and fancy mileristic equipment the police would never use- - but they take the stuff anyhow because it's free and the government is giving it to them.  And now they go looking for trouble.   And they have a fear of groups like "Occupy Wall Street", which regarded as a bad idea at the time because we couldn't win, not in today's police state where the authorities work hand in glove with the media to NOT cover it except in the most adverse of ways.  The authorities see us as the unwashed rabble and potentially dangerous.  Charles Manson was convicted of murder over twenty years ago yet his philosophy  on race is alive and well in police departments.  I've heard roomers from divorce sources that the government forsees some all out RACE WAR and a war they must win at all costs!

The XL Pipeline is more dangerous to the environment than anybody dared to believe.  Because now they say the whole purpose of the Republicans favoring it was not because it will help the United States out- - but t gin up World Wide Demand at a time when the rest of the world is giving up petroleum products due to environmental concerns.  They see this pipeline as a turning of the tide on world oppinion if they can once again flood the world with cheap oil and therefore increase C0 2 emissions and cause nations to delay or abandon alternative energy sources and give the oil companies once again Undisputed Leadership.

The truth you need to know about the god of Christian theology is this.  This God is unchanging and can't be swayed by anything a human being does, is not swayed from his plans in the least by emotion or anything else.  This God is never in a position to never have to react to anything new or ever learn anything new he didn't already know.  This god cares little in fact, for what we humans call "being alive".   After all Chuck Smith and others teach that the worst thing about being alive is that you eventually Die.  And Chuck would seemingly pay ANY price in order for possible risk of Death to NOT be a possibility.  Everything I've said in this paragraph of course- - could apply to anything that's Dead already and not alive.  Does any of this bother you?

Dealing With Terrorism Today

I don't mean to minimize the terror threat of various Islamic sects.  Clearly our terrorist watch and preparation in this country had paid dividends in terms of nabbing terrorists and avirting grave threats to our security.  In fact all of these "Orange alerts" and the like under President Bush 43 were among the things that persuaded to vote for Bush a second time in 2004.   Today we have ISIS and nobody likes to contemplate the reality of genocide against minority religious people.  Nobody is easy with the idea of five year old boys sawn in half or children's heads put on poles.  But I would remind you that one report of our Government under Bush said that domestic white power and far right extremists groups in this country were of equal or greater threat than people like Al Qaeda.  Also an alarm won't work if it's been turned off.  Our government used to keep statistics on the effects, mentally, physically, emotionally on the excessive poliferation of firearms in this country.  But the National Rifle Association made the government stop issuing those reports.  And we must remember that these groups all have to be financed and funded by Someone.  Sean Hannity informs us that ISIS is better financed and better armed and controles more territory than Al Qaeda ever did and is also more ruthless than Al Qaeda.  But Sean also keeps telling us how Saudi Arabia is so responsible and would never back any extremist groups.  And yet these same Arab whom Sean Hannity labels as "good guys" are the Same countries financing and arming all these groups.  And our government started it all by funding what proved to be Islamic fundamentalist terrorist groups in Afghanistan in the 'eighties, and we've just discussed this recently.  There is such a thing as responsibility and accountability.

We then have Vladimir Putin, and I believe the greatest Nuclear threat in the world today comes from him rather from Iran or Pakistan.  We've heard Netenyahoo say one too many times that Iran is on the threshhold of having an Atomic Bomb.  Now Sean Hannity says that ISIS is on the verge of developing a "dirty atomic bomb" from Uranium they stole from the Iraqi government, even though we have known for a long time that Iraq has no uranium and is not developing a Bomb.  Neither do I believe the threat is from Pakistan against India.  These two have been coexisting side by side for decades now, and if one was going to blow the other off the face of the earth they would have done it by now.  I believe that Sean Hannity considers himself a man of Christian moral principles, and I consider myself, basically, a man of Christian moral principles.  It's only too bad there seems to be a small area where our principles "intersect".  One of these is in the area of abortion and physician assisted suicide with or without the patient's conscious consent.  In fact the reason why I did NOT vote for Obama in 2012 was because of the President's extreme stand on Abortion.  As a man of Christian principles and respect for human life, I cannot vote for such a man, so I voted the Green Party.  And even Judy had to say "Praise be - - at least you didn't vote for Obama".  I don't want his blood or "culpability" on my hands should the President ever resort to comitting evil acts.  I cannot endorse the way he conducted his first term.  Mitt Romney was right in that debate about Putin being a threat.  Putin IS a major world threat today and the President really put his foot in his mouth saying that Putin wasn't a threat.  Putin has stated that he "retains the right to use Nukes whenever he "feels' threatened".  That's a Pat Buchannon word "Putin FEELS threatened" as though we are suppose to adopt the psyche of someone basically unstable and perhaps sociopathic.  I don't like Putin.  I don't trust Putin.  And I don't trust any leader that would trust him.  I read my Bible.  And Ezekiel seems to allude to some sort of nuclear exchange between Russia and Israel, not that I know step by step just what could occur to enable that to happen.  I guess I'm a little puzzled because the Book of Revelation says all the Rightious will be raptured or caught away to Heaven- - and doesn't say what God plans to do to make the Earth habitable again after a massive nuclear exchange and fending off the dreaded "Nuclear winter" where all the radioactive particles in the atnosphere block out the sun's heat.  The thing is the Bible ALSO says both in the New and the Old Testaments that we the rightious will be inhabiting this planet for a thousand years.  Ezekiel pretty much states this as does revelation and Jesus too when he says "The meek shall inherit the earth".   Isaiah talks about it.  But to listen to these flame throwers like Chuck Smith who say "It's all going to burn" you'd think we didn't have to worry about things like ecology or climate change.

We don't even know IF such an event will occur soon.  But I have this preminition that SOMETHING some event like the world has never seen IS going to happen, by nature of winnowing out the wheat from the chaff and separating the sheep from the goats.  And I want to be on the right side.  Will it be like German citizens in line passing an inspector to see who gets "shipped off" and the guy goes- - you live- - you die - - you live - - you die - - ".   What if the Holy Spirit or some Angel can tell just by Looking at you whether you are rightious or not.  But I believe there is going to be some event that is a "game changer".  But what I don't know is whether it's a Good game changer or a Bad game changer.  I'd be very watchful the first Saturday after the autumnal equinox.  There is always "Saturday at ten to six".   Another possible rapture reference is the line "the moon is almost hidden" - - and later relates of "going to a Carnival tonight on Desolation Row", which if you listen to this song - is a place you want to get TO.  Many camp out on the "feast of trumpets' for such a supernatural event, perhaps due to in Corinthians where is reads "The trumpet of God will blow- - and so shall the followers ever be with the Lord" or some such thing.  There is also that other line Jesus told his disciples of "But as for you, pray to be accounted worthy to escape these things" (that he just described)  (Selah)

And now I'm going to go Cosmic on you.  And personally I don't know how "Into" all of this UFO mother ship ship that Lewis Faracon really is into.  Hannity did make reference to it today however.  Sometimes you need to use a devil to fight a devil, however "morally compromizing of principles" some of sterner moral principles than I would say.  And yes I know, playing off enemies is a dangerous game, because what if they should both decide to make Peace and then turn on You?  I have spoken of the Edomites as being an evil entity and have caused a lot of problems not only energizing fundamentalist Christians and the tea party, but actually ALSO energizing Putin and his restoration of the Russian Orthodox empire or whatever.  But as bad as this sounds I believe there is a Worse entity- - a Worse alliance out there!   Let me close with this little example from today's "Days of our Lives" episode, which has a strange Deja Vu to Charlton Heston on that Nile River barge and Anne Baxter is taunting him with his many past accomplishments that suddenly all now seem a million years ago, when one looks on his muddy slave present state.  Well, I can think of worse fates than being offered help with a beautiful alluring woman with connections in High Places.  This is how it is with Christine and D J Di Mira.  She's kind of the sister a lot of us wish we could pull out of a hat when we get in dire straits.  She's the woman riding on a horse to pay the hangman in gold so that you don't have to face the gallows.  E J stands there proud and stalwart- - not bowing or bending to inferior moral principles.  But personally I wouldn't have the chutzbah. I would not have that much Pride.  My own survival instinct would kick in at a certain point and I would say "What are you offering' and thinking to myself "Believe me, it won't be hard to convince me at all!"  So my advice to E J Di Mira is that his big sister at this moment is the only game in town, and one with admittedly- - a track record of success.  And it's not like E J was St Francis of Asisi to begin with in terms of saintly virtues.  To me, as a certain point, it's a question of Survival.

Is Islam Right About "The Great Satan?"

So let us answer that question right now in the affirmative.  The United States IS "The Great Satan" and Israel is "The Little Satan" just as they've said.  So say Mal Evans and the Federation.  It's not often I agree with Sean Hannity on anything but Hannity today said "I believe the United States is closer to World War III than we've been in my lifetime".   And Hannity is also right about President Obama not being on the right course as far as his steering of "The Ship of State".   First of all I'd like to fill in some of the blanks on my remarks about President Mc Kinley.   As you may or not know he when he ran for reelection, was the most popular President the Republicans had had since the early days of the Grant administration.  And it's not Mc Kinley himself that has me ticked off, but rather how the republicans now perceive him as a role model to emulate.  You see parrellels.  Bush had 'Opperation Iraqi Liberation" alias O I L.  Mc Kinley claims he was sucked into the Spanish American war because of of this hysteria whipped up by "somebody" that the Spanish were mistreating the Cubans, and that country needed independance and it was the United States' job to "bring freedom to them" just as Bush thought it was our duty to bring freedom to Iraq.  You have other parrellels.   You've heard Lauren Baccal died today.  One later movie Baccal not in was the one about "The Great Cheese Caper of 1938" alias the great triumph of Captain Queeg's carrier.  Mc Kinley was THEE role model who was actually able to accomplish what the Republicans have never managed to pull off since.  That is to go back firmly on the gold standard and say "screw you" to all the people who wanted a freer flowing money supply.  He managed to annex territory abroad- - and for the first time enabled toe US to say that they were an "International Power".  Of course he was the LEAST progressive president the Republicans ever has as to advancement and protection of civil rights- - and actually yanked the nomination of one low level apointee who was Black, because some "folks in Georgia" didn't want him.  So many Blacks were sorry they had supported him, shades of Barock Obama.  Of course he admitted that he couldn't hold his own in a fast flying rhetorical debate with William Jennings Bryan, so he didn't even try but ran a "front porch campaign" where all the big businessmen would come to his home 'in supplication' you might say- - like they now do with Sheldon Addelson.  Of course then there were "dangerous advances in the art of war" such as - - the telephone.  Never before could a President be in such instant contact with his generals.  But the Holy Grail of the republicans is being able to be pro business and screw labor and maintain "sound money" and STILL have a rising economy.  And as an aside- - Mc Kinley had a target on his back, and was at least twice gerrymandered out of his congressional district, and so the Republicans later on in our day took a valuable lesson from this.

Remember I told you that "Occupation Iraqi Liberation" is back.  (Alias OIL)  Yes once again we are out to promote "The free flow of oil at market prices" as Rush so in-aptly puts it.  If he knew anything about "free market" economics, he'd know that comodity prices fluctuate all the time and whatever "Price" you pay IS "The free market price".  George Washington's blog states that our principal goal in going back to Iraq is not "A humanitarian effort to save the Kurds".  As he pointed out (and I was already well aware of) that Bush 41 left the Kurds out to dry and be picked off one by one by Saddam Hussein promising them "moral support" as they and the Shiites from the South rose up to depose Saddam Hussein.  This blog posting cites a lengthly list of Oil companies with Chevron and Exxon-Mobile lead the pack of oil companies wanting, apparently newly discovered Kurdish oil.  And of course banged on the President's door saying that he has to do something about it.  First we were going to have "limited and very targeted bombing raids".  Then it was a campaign that "Will definitely take more than a few weeks- - perhaps months".  But now the other shoe has dropped and ground troops may "have to be deployed" because certain opperations cannot successfully be accomplished from the air.  So Hannity is right again!  Because the President and others kept saying "We are not going to be trapped by - - Mission Creep" and if you believe that you believe you can 'Keep your own doctor and pay much lower insurance premiums under Obama Care".  Of course one of the early lies of President Obama was in saying he was all for this whole Government funding of campaigns idea, known as the Matching Funds bill.  That's the first thing the President opted out of.  And when Hannity lists all these times when critical things were going on and the President is out - - fund raising from rich donors - - it's impossible for even Me to ignore it.  I guess I have to ask 'Since the President is running again- - what is he raising all this money FOR?"  (Selah)  So we talked about this Cosmic - - "Texas group".   It's kind of your standard Karl Rove and Rick Perry type.  Just as long as you're not certifiable and have a lot of business contacts and influence and power- - you're welcome at the table.   I remarked earlier today that there was something I never thought I'd witness.  Anne Coulter was NOT the most insane person in the room!  No, in a fevered contest between the "around the bend" looneytunes crowd- - Sean Hannity wins, and even Anne thought Sean was a little too "out there" for her!  All of these farthest right people who speak of how "We've got to get our Message out there" are people Karl Rove don't want.  His job is to get Republicans to conceal their message and lull the voters into voting for them thinking they are main stream.  But now that we're back in Iraq who knows how long we'll stay This Time.  "Quino Sabe?" which is a corruption of Some language.

 Samantha now is trying to get a restraining order for EJ all because he said “I still love you and want to fix our relationship” one too many times.  No “separate maintenance” award was ever issued by any Court so I fail to see how the restraining order could even be legal.  The last scene of today made it all worth it because Daniel brought in his woman.  Christine is at the Police Station.  Frankly if bets were being placed on who would out-smart who, my bets would have been on Christine.  She could convince the serpent not to tempt Adam and Eve with the forbidden fruit.   People need to know who they are in a "battle of whits" with because - - President Obama has consistently overestamated his "persuasive abilities' all along the way.  He thinks things are a slam dunk, and if he just does what comes as naturally as sex to a rabbit, Compromise- - he'll go along to get along- - and everybody will be happy and he'll be more popular than ever.  And my fear is that President Obama is STILL thinking this.  Like is the peril of so many Presidents, I think his friends have him in a secret cloister and keep him successfully insilated from Reality.

I have my current ideas of who the Cosmic identities of those running the World after the "Rapture' or whatever separating event comes.  My present date is Saturday September 27th clinging to an old mythological image on an album cover (one track of which was in our latest compilation)  It's an optical illusion you see and some people see one thing and some people see Another, but perhaps one can be magically transferred INTO the other without the Image even changing.  This is the mystery of the Rapture.  BUT I'll refrain from my own "guess" as to "cosmic identity" because - well like everything Else in life I'll know a lot More about it- - After It Happens.  I think one of my molars is loose.  This one tooth seems to have problems- - and the gum around it seems to be receding.  Oh well- - that's another saga that will play itself unpleasently in my personal life.  OH - - another thing I Don't Know- - is WHO will be separated from WHOM.  Will the good people go up in the rapture and the evil people stay here on earth?  Or by chance could it be the other way around.  Strangely, the New Testament is unclear on this subject. 

Robin Williams Dies of Asphixiation

This whole posting was written and pasted on one contuous swoop.  Hopefully you'll read ALL of this posting and don't forget the last paragraph.  It's important.

Late afternoon edit with many typos fixed.  Red is new text added.  Blue is a line I was sure I included but wasn't here.  Many red lined words in Edit appeared to be "unfixable".  The program changed the previously identical font in paragraph four and I tried - - to "fix" that.  Paragraph two's font was changed accidentally just now.

Robin Williams died yesterday just before noon at his home in Merin County near San Francisco.  I’m a bit confused as to how much of a substance abuse problem he had but apparently I was both drugs and alcohol, kind of like the road Brady Black is headed down.  But they say he had been depressed the past few weeks, and the last time anybody actually talked to him was at ten in the evening Sunday night.  Robin Williams died of asphiation so basically the verdict is death at his own hand - - Suicide.  I’m typing this Tuesday August 12, 2014 and Google is featuring the Percied meteor shower.   Of course I know about Robin Williams’ cosmic identity- - he was a Pike.   That’s the same basic group as Dianna Ross and Michael Jackson.  Also the Stephen King characters Francis Goldsmith and her son Peter, are also Pikes.  We’ll have more of that later.  But of course Boulder Colorado was Pike country where the comedy Mork and Mindy was set in.  Of course he was universally loved by everybody.  In addition to TV comedies he did a whole lot of movies such as “Garp”, “Mrs Dobfire”, and the voice in “Aladen” and “Good Morning, Viet Nam”  “Patch Adams”, “Dead Poet’s Society” and apparently “The Birdcage” which the gay lobby doesn’t like, and the one Oscar he got was was for “Good Will Hunting” where he apparently played that bearded therapist.  I haven’t seen the movie.  Apparently he was in “The Awakening” the movie we saw in Dr Levy’s class.  Now on the Stephanie show they are talking about depression as a disease as opposed to situational depression.  I think a lot of people would be totally depressed if they found themselves in my current situation.   Of course Robin did extensive USO tours for our troops.  Robin claimed that the Jack Daniels made him into a different person.  Some of his comedy routines have been put on albums.  Robin was 63 so is actually a few months younger than I am.  The President gave a great tribute message- - and after hearing that, I knew that I could not try to compete with.

I feel the need for more cosmic stuff.  “We need more cow bell”  (wrong show)  First of all when we said the Israelis were becoming rather Nazi like, we weren’t even vaguely implying that they were assuming Nazi identity.   Also the Perseid meteor shower has nothing to do with coming under any influence of the ‘Perseus group”.   This is just the apparent point of origin of these meteors.  Michael Jackson the musical entity was a Del Phi, of course.  But Dianna Ross worked without a cosmic “musical entity” and they even have some Latin sounding term for it for “working without sponsorship”.   Stevie Wonder the musical entity was a Romulan, at least through 1976, but is actual cosmic origin is unknown.  In other news Gladys Knight has kind of done a Lebran James in that she has returned to her original cosmic identity as a Reigel Sixer.  Of course for a while she was a “Necron”.   As you know there are “levels of control” so to speak.  Level zero would of course be zero control or some might say “you’re confined to the natural environment to exert control”.   Level one control is what is known as “courting” and the exact word they use for that has a dark history because it’s most often used in the “grooming” of a gay teenage boy you want as a lover.  For instance the Reigel Sixers claim that “You Really Got a Hold On Me” by Smokey Robinson is a Reigel VI six song.   (the track the Beatles picked)  There have been a number of these cases of “disputed control”.   This is a case of what happened with the Chantees.  Gladys Knight reached the level two level of control with the Necrons because she actually was sponsored by them.  She had one of those George Burnes contracts where a few places on the form were left blank and you had an escape option.  You wonder “Why signs these contracts”.  One source states that it’s your guardian angels that sign your cosmic contracts.  Another source says that you are actually astrally pulled “out of the body” and probably into some avatar, so you can sign these contracts, and of course you don’t remember it.  The Reigel VI people also had the option of not taking her back, but they took her back, because they never considered Gladys Night not a “Sixer”.    Level three or the final level of control is when you assume the karmic and cosmic identity of the new group.   Liz and Dick, and we don’t mean the Chaneys - - are Federation.  Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton are both Federation.   The Federation has never said a critical word about Elizabeth Taylor, but speak of her in almost reverential terms.   Frank Sinatra the musical entity was a Torino, and this was always understood.  But his actual indentity is Chicago DES RHO.   Of course Federation and Chicago DES RHO peacefully coexisted with each other in Las Vegas when the Federation had much more of a presence there- - even though in off earth realms, the Chicago DES RHO is considered an enemy.   Mal Evans though- - saw to it that Frank Sinatra songs were played on Federation radio in maintenance of “good diplomacy”.

It was Sunday night that Michael Brown, a black unarmed teenager, was gunned down by a St Louis police officer.  Initially I thought it was a scuffle over the officer’s firearm, and he got inside the squad car.  But other sources state that Brown had his hands up and was shot from 35 feet away- - so it would appear that it was just some revenge killing.  But this isn’t the way Sean Hannity played it on his noon show yesterday.  He focused on “Cops under siege” because there was rioting in this town because the neighborhood took exception to this shooting, and unfortunately innocent shop owners had to suffer.  Let's add fresh information in here.  This wasn't a large town and is a mixture of black and white.  But as Malcolm X pointed out "They don't check you out to see if you're headed off to Tech school before they lynch you.  All they see about you as the color of your skin".   And this Black guest Hartman has on states that it's less a class or economic status thing than it is strictly race.  About ninety percent of the stops, searches, and arrests, in this town were of Black people.  To me this signals a definite problem and for Hannity to somehow not automatically know this- - was short sighted on his part.  The first thing that popped into my mind when this shooting evoked such a hostile reaction was "This isn't the first time" any more than Rodney King didn't come after bearing up under fourteen years of Daryl Gates' reign as police chief here.   Then we have that racecar saga of this one race car driver killing a younger racecar driver on the track- - and they claim “He couldn’t see what he was doing” and they are investigating.  The guilty driver- - is deciding to sit out a few auto races.  Right now they are telling us to get our medication before breakfast- - - .

Were it not for the untimely death of Robin Williams- this would have been my lead off paragraph to my next blog posting- on this topic of this Passion, this Lust – this Sickness for having a continued state of War in this country.  It did not use to be this way.  Still there have been traces of this lust for war in our American history as per the way we dealt with the native American Indian tribes- - where lie after lie is told and deal after deal is broken.  Mr Laundry, my sophomore Spanish teacher in 1965 used to talk about this all the time.  But the first such “manufactured war” with another actual nation was the Spanish American war under Mc Kinly, which is becoming a President where my opinion of has been steadily dropping.  It seems according to Thom Hartman that William Randolph Hurst told the President “If you want a War I can give you a War” by ginning up a phoney incident.  Part of the thing with conflicts, the ones you’re on the losing end of- - your first instinct is to say “I’m not good enough.  I need to get better”.  But sometimes this doesn’t happen.  And it helps if everyone knows the rules of the game.  With a game like Risk apparently everyone plays with their own rules.  And you learn things like “Never make a deal with anybody, no matter how sincere”.  But then you have this Sudoku game where my learning curve is as flat as a computer that has just crashed- if you look at their little green charts.  But in a magazine I recently came across a Sudoku game that already had “the wrong numbers’ in it- in a scenario I’ve never seen before, which kind of gets me wondering whether I’ve been playing with the right rules.  It always helps to know the rules of the game.   But when you look at Israel and the Mideast- - you are primed by the church, the media, your friends, whoever into NOT NOTICING certain obvious things.  For instance Sean Hannity was talking about how this Islamic Empire and ISIS wants to “establish a world wide caliphate- and their next stop is New York”.   Hannity goes on “The Obama administration is blind to this world wide threat from Nigeria to Libya to Syria, to Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, and even far flung places like Thailand, which are part of this world wide empire.  I have one question.  Knowing how small both in population and land area Israel is- - if Islam REALLY wanted to “Wipe Israel off the map” it doesn’t take a genious in military science to realize they could all do it overnight- - if this was their inclination.  I mean if the Saudis and Hamas were really “just part of the same evil Islamic entity following the Koran” then there should be no problem.  But the Republicans were not always the war mongers they are today.   Eisenhower, Hartman reminds us, ran on a platform of “A vote for Peace”.   In fact if I had been alive in 1940 I’m pretty sure I would have voted for Wendell Wilkee over FDR.  Wilkee ran on a fairly progressive platform, and continually made the charge that - - Roosevelt as good as had our young men on those transport ships already.  And of course FDR had just instituted a peacetime draft, which no doubt would have influenced my opinion.  Not that I was a Nazi lover- - but there was this whole idea that these were “European” problems and didn’t directly affect us.  And the idea of Roosevelt breaking tradition dating back to the foundation of this country not to run for a third term, would have impacted me.  This whole WAR thing- - the first election that was an actual referendum on a war was in 1972 where if you were pro War you voted for Nixon, and if you were for making peace you supported Mc Govern.  But after this the Republicans tip toed into war.  First we had Granada in 1983 under President Reagan.  Then we have President Bush 41 dabbling in war with “Operation just cause” in Panama.  Then there was the more major campaign of Gulf War I.   And you know the rest.  I’ve always wondered why the Tea Party just can’t stand any reference made by any democrat to the capture of Bin Laden.  It’s because Hartman reminds us and I’ve seen several confirmations of lately, that Afghanistan offered to turn Bin Laden over to us if we would provide basic evidence of his culpability in 911.  Bush refused to do that.  Indeed what President Obama did in going after Bin Laden was VERY RISKY.  We had to invade a hostile nation that appeared for all intents and purposes to be Protecting Bin Laden.  And it used to be that wars would only last a few years or even months.  The Spanish American war was wrapped up quickly.  Our involvement in WW I was less than two years.  Gulf War I lasted only a matter of weeks.  But now after an eight and a half year war- - - - after the elapsment of three years- - those on the right including NBC news are saying that “President Obama pulled out all troops out of Iraq” as though- - the whole idea of ending a war- - EVEN a war that had tone on for eight and a half years - - was just too much to contemplate.   The offending Cosmic party- - is what is known as “The Texas group” and they are part of the “Cassiopean star system” - - which is apparently a much weaker star affiliation than the Federation.   In terms of myself - - there is nobody in this “Texas group” having it in for me personally.  But the Sutterans - - are in this same “affiliation” and are coy about many things - - and don’t go around advertising the fact that they love war.  Again - - non Alcyonized Sutterans appear to be just “ordinary people” - - - almost like Samantha Brady when she’s doing “family stuff” with her kids or whatever, you’d never guess she was anything other than just your ordinary house wife.   I came under a “Sutteran’ attack in June of 1967.  Lennon has known about that for a long time (dating about to the year 2000)  Although the term "Arimid period" dates back to late 1996) Now Bones has wondered whether there was a Sutteran-Israeli connection.

Becoming the Thing You Hate

We have too many people today becoming the thing they profess to hate the most.  So we have these “limited government’ conservatives- - reveling in our “Empire” where someone said that we have military outposts in a Majority of the world’s 196 nations.  So our forces can reach from just about anywhere when someone needs invading, blocading, or bombing.  So you have President Obama morphing into President Bush - - not only on immigration - - but also the Wall Street bail out- - the Bush timetable of withdrawal from the Iraq War- - the use of drones and other “government hits” where no trial is necessary.  And now we have this Zionist bit.  We have of course Samantha and Kate- - who rather than wanting to dismantle and take down the whole Di Mira empire- - these two are BECOMING Stephano and EJ.   None of the apperatus of surveillance and interference and repression Stephano had in place is being taken down.  There are no mass prosecutions- - or providing evidence to open the floodgates of law suits to all the people whom the Di Mira enterprises have wrong over the past three decades.   But now you have the Jews themselves, God forbid, seemingly becoming the thing they hate.  I want to talk about this video I watched yesterday on George Washington’s blog late yesterday.  The people on Sirius A have been aware of this video since 2012 but never informed me.  It’s a real eye opener and tells us that everything we think we know about the Jewish people is wrong.  For one thing- - there is a contingent of “Arab Jews” who would be quite willing to share the country with Israel - - in a One State Solution, which is the ONLY WORKABLE ONE.  The reason is quite clear if you look at a map.  In Israel there IS no “west bank”.   There is an extensive program to “De Arabize” the west bank.  Because if all these Arabs or Palestinians ever got equal rights in any truly Democratic government- - they would comprise nearly half of the population.   Clearly the government in place want to take steps to insure that this NEVER Happens.  (Selah)  First of all just about Every war in the Mideast except apparently for the 1973 Yom Kippur war- - every other conflict was STARTED by Israel.  Mythology pervades the whole UN bit in 1947 where they drew this absurd map- - with Israel getting all of the best airable land, and Palestine getting all the undesirable portions.   We are told repeatedly that “Israel has to win every war they fight” and they HAVE won every war they fought and we all wondered ‘How?” and I used to think “Well maybe God is on their side and it’s one battle miracle after another”.  Because they win so easily with a huge ratio between losses of the enemy and their own losses in every war they fight.  Pat Buchannon is right about Iran.  This is just a fear tactic- - and Netenyahoo uses this tactic of fear repeatedly telling lie after lie about the enemy.  You know yesterday late afternoon I prayed about this whole Israel situation because I wanted God to “Show me- - and clarify for me just why it is that it’s necessary for Israel to slaughter so many innocent civilians, women and children.  Make me understand it”.   As with other prayers I’ve regarded as really Important- - God’s answer was, how shall we put it, “Not the answer I was hoping for”.   I won’t burden you with other prior personal examples.  But it was minutes later I happened on this Video- - because just before I was ready to turn off the computer- I thought I’d check out George Washington’s blog expecting to spend perhaps a couple minutes there glancing at it.  Instead there was this video given by a Jewish son of a military general, that ran over an hour including questions.  The speakers father of course is some kind of Jewish hetitic because since his retirement has been working for Peace.  There was a guy with excellent Jewish credentials interviewed on the Mc Laughlin group or somewhere- with all the right Jewish credentials- -  Jewish name - circumcised on the eight day- - been to all the right religious schools- - and had a very “Jewish” cranial structure.  Now he was an old man, and he preached in favor of Palestinian rights, and is trying to convince his countrymen.  We had been told “The problem will NEVER be solved” because it’s fated in the Bible and it will never be solved till Jesus comes back, because the Palistinians are “wild ass men” according to Judy and Gene Scott, and they have NO regard for human lives, including their own.   There is an interesting story behind the June 1967 six day war.  The people again were propagandized with fear- - and the Israeli cabinent officials had been planning this war for months- and saw their opportunity when Egypt moved troops into Sinai, which was THEIR territory, and the government people of Israel said “We have an excellent chance to wipe out the Egyptian Army now”.   The problem is that Israel always attacks an UNPREPARED enemy.  The Arabs didn’t want war in 1947 either.  They wanted to stay in their homes where they had built a life, but armed forces drove them from their homes and stole their land all because of King David and the Bible, and they would dig all these archiological sites looking for Evidence that King David ever existed, and they’ve never found it!   Yet the whole Zionist mentality is based on - - one religion’s holy book.  It’s actually very similar to the US wiping out the native Indian tribes of this country and stealing their land and calling them “savages” all in the name of this doctrine of “Manifest Destiny” saying “God gave the land from shore to shore to us”.   But what was done in Gaza in 2008 is definitely a war crime.  If you know a certain pastor who had LIED about things you KNOW about because you were THERE - - you’re not as inclined to trust this pastor when he relates things you DON’T know about.  You’d like to.   You wish you could.  But can you?  You need to realize that the Palistinians were never OFFERED a two state solution till Israel had moved no less than 600,000 people in the area.  So what’s that?  About three “Anaheim’s”.  It is a blatant LIE that Gaza was “given independence’ in 2005.  In fact there is a persistent roomer that President Bush and our government WANTED Hamas to win that election, for bizarre reasons yet unknown.  Read the blog.  There was an intense three week carpet bombing campaign in September of 2008 where Israel launched a rate at 11:30 in the morning right when the school kids from the morning session and kids going to the afternoon session were on the streets for a maximum kill.  Israel targets children.  This is such a blatant lie that Netenyahoo says about “We offered you people in Gaza a wonderful life in 2005 and you rejected it” as if Gaza had the rights of a sovereign nation.  It’s almost like the line the Nazis used to use on the Jews saying “We have a wonderful life in the furtile regions of the Ukrane once we relocate you”.  Israel loves to “relocate people”.  They have become the thing they hates.  For people who talk about land rights- - they don’t respect these at all.  Keep in mind that in case after case- - Israel attacks people who are NOT PREPARED for battle and NOT EXPECTING it.  This is how Israel wins all its wars, and also because they are in bed with fellow Zionists such as Presidents Bush and Obama.  The only solution is to have One Democratic State in the area.  Right now it’s not only Apartite- - but a Trifercation.  There are- - like in South Africa when Ghandi was there- - three levels or hierarchies.  There are the Jews, and there are the Arabs within the borders- - and there are the Arabs on the other side of the fence.  But go watch the video yourselves- because I can’t possibly begin to relate each and every last detailed example of the entire hour speech here.  I’ll just conclude with a logical observation.  You can believe that the whole world and the UN is “conspiring” with “unreasoned prejudice and anti Semitic hatred against Israel - - and Israel really “has God on their side” and there is something fundamentally WRONG with the entire rest of the world’s population, or you can believe this speaker.

Thom Hartman reports we have ten times (?) the border agents now under Obama than we had under Reagan.  But under Reagan the number of illegal border crossings hit a peak in 1984 just before amnesty was offered.  The Senate immigration bill wants to heavily penalize Employers who hire illegal aliens, and for some reason the Republicans don't want this bill to become law.  Could it be because they LIKE these illegal "off the books" hires?  But now with many more agents- - the number of illegal border crossings is at a forty plus year low down to 1968 levels, Tom reports.  This means of course that there IS no "border crisis'.  Our borders "have been secured" and need we say again that these single mothers and minor children are volentarily turning themselves in to border agents.  There IS no "invasion" that people like Marco Rubio and Rick Perry keep talking about.  This is just another form of right wing hysteria to whip up votes.  It strikes me, and I've seen that the identical Talking Points show up on one interview or news show after another, almost as if all media outlets had a common "script source" they fed in from.   So often today politicians spout these "pre fab talking points" rather than their own personal observations of issues.

 I watched “Face the Nation” and it was billed at just over 48 minutes meaning the thing was at least 80% actual programming and no more than twenty percent commercials.  Actually they had cut every commercial break out of it this week.  I wish they’d do that every week.  There was a segment with some Black camera man who was in the Oval Office when Nixon gave his resignation speech.  They interviewed both Woodward and Bernstein.  Some of these new tapes are more explicit as to Nixon’s wishes than the one’s we’ve known about for so long.  All of the usual news of the day was discussed and there were fewer “concessions’ to the tea party on this show.  President Obama says that these bombing raids “will not be completed in a few weeks”.   They have already bombed more extensively than they told us they would.  Now we know that this bombing campaign could go right up through the election period, which from the Democrat’s view, would be a good thing for electing democratic congressmen 

I did some research in the Wikkipedia and was curious about the Yasidi - - and they are kind of a “Pre Islamic and pre Christian faith” but have elements of Christianity in them.  God delegated the creation of Adam who “had the dust delivered to him” and he made Adam.  But then one of the seven creative angels rebelled against God but when God learned his motivation for rebellion he promoted him to the chief angel.  The Islamists, understandably label this story as Satanic.  This group has their own pilgramages and holidays.   I also checked out a few other Gnostic facts just to make sure I was clear.  I discounted the tale of how Valentinus got his “message” from Theudas, who was a disciple of St Paul, apparently.  I wanted to look at Nerva’s tax policies- but didn’t find what I was looking for.  I did my blog posting of yesterday keying in on that “Absolute” word.   The word Absolute has certain definitions.  It can mean “entirely” or one hundred percent.  It can mean based on an unquestioned fixed value such as absolute zero, or for that matter an absolute address in Excel.  But another definition of “Absolute” completely and utterly removed from anything that is NOT “absolute”.  I fear this is the definition of the world Neil likes.  He would seek to remind us “Any truth that is not an ABSOLUTE truth, is not a truth at all”.

 I actually watched the Jesus Christ show, but not quite from the beginning.  But it’s the longest continuous segment of the program I’ve had on in at least over a year.  Neil talked about Absolutes and how man rebels from the absolute truth of - - - - usually whoever is speaking in the place of God at the moment.  I went down and sat in the front room a while and then went for a dollar coffee at the liquor store and looked over all their various snack items.  We had oatmeal for breakfast.  We did not get served our main plate till about eight o clock on the dot.  Paul gave me another cup of coffee.  We had a fried egg and an English muffin with butter and double jelly.  Meet the Press was not consequential only that- - they have fallen into the PMS NBC trap (to use a Rush Limbaugh term) of discussing pin pricks and how President Obama (completely on his own aside from the will of the American people, they would have us to believe) ABANDONED the war effort in Iraq, as though there were no binding withdrawal agreement made with President Bush and Meliki, which there was.  So this tea party rhetoric is making a bolder entrance into the “lame stream media”.   And then they had Newt Gingrich on as an Impeachment effort and people saying “The Constitutional founders always envisioned Impeachment as a political, rather than a legalist act”.   So they say.

The Zionist Nazis  (blog video)  edited down to 33:27

We have some album art for you today.  The front cover is Kate Roberts and Samantha Di Mira sitting on a sofa in the Di Mira mansion- - the chessboard is all laid out on the coffee table, as if in the middle of a game.  Kate Roberts is lighting up one of Stephano’s expensive cigars, and Samantha is sitting on a glass of 150 proof Vodka with this trinkly eyed grin on her face.  In the background is a collection of AK 47’s and AR 15’s and other assault weapons.  On the back cover is the Di Mira mansion from a distance with a black wrought iron fence around it with a sign in Iranian letters that reads “Abandon all hope ye who enter in here”.   It’s yellow letters on a green backdrop.   There is a booklet with this set that takes you on a “Tragical History Tour” of the Di Mira mansion being turned into a museum of Midevil weapons and implements of torture, kind of going room by room.  This alum will probably officially be released on Sirius A.   Mal Evans and the Dardanians were not consulted, in fact, Stu and John, the people I was with haven’t heard from Mal Evans lately either except they are just as millitent now against the Israelis.  This album contains a lot more cultural diversity than the other dementoid compilations.  As you can see we have an extensive Caribean section tword the end of side one.  “Mercedes Benz” is the “unannounced bonus track” at the end of Disc Two of “Missing Links” right after “Mama Told Me Not to Come”  (so she put salt peter in my dinner)  We have a lot of body parts and marijuana smoke.  “Waiting” was the last song to be added and the one perhaps least demented.  The three of us were sitting around, and Lennon pointed to the last track on side one of“Future Blues” by Canned Heat and said “What’s wrong with this track”.  And I said “That’s the One”.   And Stu said “Looks like we have it then”.  And Lennon said “Let’s Hear It” - - and Lennon was pleased with what he heard.  But then I said “Wait a minute” and fished around ‘Where’s that other album we just had out here?” and looked on “Missing Links” and said “We shouldn’t double dip off the same album” (we’re deliberately not naming the track.  That way you’ll go out and buy the album)  The main speech was edited down to 33:27 and this is not accidental because apparently the Berlin Wall fell on November 9^th and so when Stu explained to John that the numbers were times three he was excited and said “That’s really wild!”
