Economic Statistics Continue to Look GrimW

Well the gloom and doomsters from the Mc Laughlin group have spoken - once again. 75% of the America think this country is in "bad shape". Nearly fifty percent of the people expect us to be in a major "Depression" within a year. The average unemployed person has been without work for an average of nine months, and this is the worst statistic here since 1948. They tell us countless men will die a premature death due to loss of their job and lack of purpose. Some say that after we withdraw entirely from Afghanistan in 2014 (a date tossed out on the show) that what's left of this economy will fall apart then. Dr. Levy continues to moan about job cut backs robbing the disadvantaged of urgent programs. His solution is to cut taxes so that jobs will come back to California. The trouble is that many low wage states such as Florida aren't attracting high tech companies either. And the reason is simple. The population is so uneducated they won't be able to hire suitable workers. In response to all this former Minnisota governor Tim Tawlenty unveiled his herolded economic revival plan, with which he intends to win the Presidential election next year. This plan is a real horror freak show. He wants to cut corporate taxes from 35%^ to 15%, which is drastic to say the least. He wants to eliminate all capital gains tax, all dividend tax, and all inheritence taxes. For the wage earner he wants a ten percent for people under 100,000 and this rises to 25% for income over 100,000. He wants to cut the share of the federal government GNP from 25% to 15%. Even the people on the show that going below 20% is unrealistic. Paul Ryan wanted this figure of 18% of GNP for government. Finally Tim Pawlente wants a Constitutional amendment to mandate that every federal budged from here on out be ballanced. The 1972 Republican convention rejected just such an amendment handily. In response to this many Republicans say "This guy has got a lot of good ideas". Pat Buchannon regards his plan as visionary and a worthy goal to pursue. If you know anything about economic history at all you know these numbers are nightmarish. Someone said Federal revenue is already the lowest since 1950. How much further back do they want to take us? It's time for men of reason to rise up and put a stop to this, before any of it gets enacted.

Congressman Wiener is under increased pressure to resign. Harry Reid can no longer defend him and now Nancy Palosi says she plans to call for a house Ethics investigation. They say he has violated the part about "conducting yourself so as to not bring shame on Congress". However his wife is doing one of these Hillary style "stand by your man" routines, and is supporting his staying. People on the show were divided on whether Wiener will stay or go. But I could imagine a headline that reads "Wiener Refuses to Go - - Serious Consequences to Occur with Severe Back-up of Leglislation". But as far as we know Congress Wiener has broken no actual laws. By Nixon's own standards there "is no indictable offences".

Former Senator Rick Santaurum has declared his candidicy for President. He is every bit as conservative as Tim Tawlenty however on the subject of abortion he is strident in saying life begins at the moment of conception and that rape and incest are not valid reasons to have an abortion. There’ll be no RU 486 for those women. I’m getting the sense that people are actually buying Republican arguments. They say if you repeat a lie often enough people will believe it. So many have repeated the line that the President’s economic policies have made the US economy worse and that the President’s programs have lost 2 ½ million jobs. This is a flat out lie, of course. They also said that the only profitable part of medicare is “medicare advantage”. This is a lie. Tim Pawlenty has taken to calling Obama Health Care "Obomney Care" because Pawlenty maintains the President modeled his health care package after that of Mitt Romney.

Janet Evans is trying out for the 2012 Olympics, trying to make a come-back. She has broken records "for her [advanced] age" but still is twenty seconds off her best swimming times. The way I see it, that won't cut it. But people like an under-dog. And they admire the old timer who is still with it, in a vain attempt to hold back the ravages of time.

People are always told that it's the victors who write the history for a society. How true must this be for the Catholic Church? They ruled their part of the world virtually undisputed for over a thousand years. Dylan in the song "John Birch Society Blues" has a line in there "I investigated all the books of the library ant ninety percent of them gotta be burned away. I started investigating all my friends and 98% of them have to go. The other two percent are fellow Birchers, just like me". We dare not forget how despotic the Church has been in its history. We know they burned heritics at the stake- - into the 1500's. We know they often did this for silly, irrational reasons having little to do with a "fall from grace". So what makes you think the Church isn't above fabricating history. The other day I tried to look up the history of the Corinthian church- - in the years following the Bible. I couldn't find it. Outside of the Bible I couldn't even find reference there ever WAS a "Corinthian Church" outside of one source, and that is the Catholic Encyclopedia. I read it in the First Epistle of Clement. That's what it's called - the First Epistle of Clement. There is also a Second Epistle of Clement but that one was declared a fraud, even among Catholics. My question is "You normally don't call something a "First" unless there is also a "Second". Apolonius of Tyannus died in western Asia Minor in AD 97. He has said to have done miracles that rival those of Christ. We know that St. Paul appeared to know very little about the actual life of Christ. Furthermore he himself states that the physical history of Jesus or "knowing him after the flesh" is not even important. St. Paul is also on the record as saying "Even if an angel out of heaven speaks to you- - " or "No matter what authority tells you otherwise- - " that his "Gospel" is supreme because HE got it right from God. Have you people seen Star Trek I? (note the Roman numeral) In that movie there was a synthisis between a sattalite exploring planets with another that was designed to irradicate crop pests. These two things combined into a strange brew. We don't know what type of metaphorical "amino acids" were swerling around in Asia Minor in the early 2nd. Century. We don't know (in my own mind) whether those in Rome who called themselves "Christians" earlier in the first century were the same bunch as were in Asia Minor after Apollonius died, or rather "ascended into Heaven after forth days". Jesus said "when a demon is driven out of a habitation, it roams the earth looking for another". A lot of people were driven out of Palestine by Rome during this period, particularly after 135. I don't know what actually happened. It is my hope that one day we will learn what really did.

Finally we close with this. I am reversing my position on the Wickipedia article on the fourth dimension once again. The Wickipedia article is wrong. Stewart from the Federation told me this evening that my original math formula was the correct one, and with several proofs he convinced me. I just urge my followers to look at my original numbers on the dimensional cubic faces and put their thinking caps on. If they don't get it today I might come back and explain it to them in a few months.
