Stop Worshiping at the Altar of Evil

It’s six o clock in the morning on July 20, 2012, the anniversary of the Apollo XI landing.  I got up early this morning at around five and showered and noticed it was still pretty dark out at 5:25 even.  The days are starting to get shorter again, as we ease our way into the astrological sign of Leo.  That Venus cycle that was supposed to bail out President Obama has not failed this badly since 1892.  And 1980 is a big of a question mark but Obama does not have 52 hostages in Iran now.  Yet the President is faring in the polls worse than Jimmy Carter ever did.  Carter was actually ahead in the summer of 1980.  Bill Press described this republican party as a band of “outlying insurgents” and I have to agree and basically did so in last night’s relatively brief blog posting.  I was thinking how once the President is out of power all of these Presidential “restraints” will be off and he’ll once again be free to speak his mind and as it were really play to his political base, in a way he’s never been able to these past four years.  I myself know what it’s like to be muzzled.  I know that Judy will issue persosonal attacks against me if I get too strident against the tea party.  I walk about Wall Street scandals and she’ll bring up how I was late on my phone bill by a few dollars.  Obama has been the repository for every sort of epithet and I was in a family where it was basically a case of four against one all the time growing up.  All they had to do was to play the “mentally unbalanced” card to discredit anything I might say about anything, and I know how that feels.  And if I were the President I wouldn’t like it one bit and would not necessarily exercise Christian charity that was denied me, when I got out of office.  It could be that the Democrats might become then the party of “outlying surgents” with Obama as their leader.  It would be like Mark Bove at St. Paul’s in 1978 where you had essentially a church within a church, with a leader Mark Bove, who was fundamentally opposed to the church who hired him and was paying his salary.  Now I’m going to have a cigarette.TLast night in the news they said Obama was behind Mitt Romney by one point in the latest poll numbers 46% to 47% which is nothing new.  I have never seen any poll in the past year where the President was ever ahead of Mitt Romney.  He has always been the Republican’s strongest candidate.  The Batman movie is out today and it’s the final in a trilogy of the Black Night, with a hero called Bain.  They are discussing the philosophical themes of the Batman movies now.  Apparently the film is set to break all box office receipt records.  The President has fallen down badly in his economic poll numbers against Romney and the economy itself has weakened again, which will only feed Romney’s ego further.  I guess I’m a little fired up and rattled at the adverse numbers and prospect for the Democrats.  Astrologically July 21^st of 1990 proved to be a bad day for impulsive remarks. 

President Obama favors abortion to determine the gender of the child, and so puts himself out on an awkward moral limb.  We know he favors partial birth abortions - - where they ram a spike through the skull through the brain.  And he also favors killing any fetus should it survive an abortion.  Obama definitely is no moral saint.  If he’s too stupid to know when human life begins he should go back and re-take ninth grade biology.  Nobody could be President and be that stupid.  Obama has not called for gun legislation and my guess is that he won’t because he’s too afraid of the gun lobby.  This President has got to be pretty stupid anyhow because if half of what’s in those Judy letters is true then this President is deliberately slowing down the economy and killing jobs.  Small business predicts terminating more jobs by 2014.  They said 83% of doctors have considered getting out of the profession because of the Affordable Cair act.  That’s scarey.  And I saw the thing with the many German floats mocking this President.  We don’t mock leaders of Germany like that, who are currently serving.  I know many of Judy’s things are anecdotal but still one thing you can’t deny is the overriding truth that “None of the attacks by this President against Romney are working”.  In fact if anything the attacks appear to be counter productive, because Romney actually seems to be rising in the polls and more people believe in his economics.  Since the President has such inherent power and is NOT taking steps to remedy his low popularity numbers, he obviously does not particularly CARE whether he is reelected or not.  In such a case a candidate that apathetic about his own fate SHOULD not be reelected, because that same lackadaisical attitude would carry over into how he ran the country in general.

his is Saturday evening at a quarter to eight and wheel of fortune is in progress.  Larry is sitting on my bed waiting for his coffee upon request to retire my five cigarette debt, that will be wiped out by this cup of coffee.  So many people are now out of money.  Jeopardy had the rerun question about Julius Caesar crossing the Rubicon causing untold misfortune on “all mankind” as opposed to not crossing it bringing misfortune only to himself.  “Four P’s” for pure bread puppies.  The Mc Laughlin report had some dire things to portend about the US economy and how all stimulus has proved utterly futile, and the future prognosis appears hopeless.  I just poured Larry Barton his cup and he departed, hopefully a satisfied customer.  I’m guessing we’re all going to have to get used to the phrase “President Romney”.  The Mc Laughlin group at one point talked about a “double dip recession”, which we’ve been hearing about since men wrote on stone tablets.  But there was another “contienient” remark about “The economy is slated to drop for the next two quarters”.  Then there is that survey about how “People are expecting a better economy next year”.  Like Annie says “Tomorrow, tomorrow, you’re always a day away”.  This James Holmes guy was a camp counselor during the summer of 2008.  I still can’t fathom what would have made that guy withdraw from the University when he was so close to getting his doctorate.  They say he hung around that brick apartment building going to the local store for beer and burritos.  He’d walk around the street but not talk to anybody.

It was still almost completely dark by the time I made it outside.  That KFI radio station show on before six was non compus mentus.  Every guess on the show and the host himself was certifiably insane.  It was the classic “tin foil hat” crowd and they kept saying how the government was experimenting with waves that compel normal people to go on shooting killing rampages.  They mixed this in with talk about how it’s all just another phase of the Obama government conspiracy to take away people’s guns.  You wouldn’t want a certifiable insane person driving a car or operating machinery, so why would you trust him with a gun?  Then it was Neil Savedra’s turn.  He talked about how “In the face of dire circumstances, you can’t give up hope, and the source of that hope is God”.  Not my hope.  I prefer “hope” that is actually “hopeful” if you know what I mean.  I mean that I’d like some probability of the thing I place my hope in actually being reliable.  It kind of reminded me of therapist Eileen saying that what I needed to do was “To fill up all the resavuars of despair within me”.  I thought that’s why I drank so much.  The little match book girl clung to hope till the very end when she kept lighting matches and had visions of her grandmother, just before she died by freezing to death.. For dinner we had Salisbury steak, which was the patty with generous tomato sauce this time you could mix with the rice.  The rice was fluffier and I added salt.  There was spinach and I had that vanilla pudding with the peaches in it.  The Black John sat down after I was completely through.  Many had not been served their plate at all yet and the cook had to make more, but many were offered the option of chicken instead, which almost sounded like a plan, from their point of view.  Then I smoked cigarette number three.  Donnie had peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for us.  I watched the ABC network news but otherwise vegetated.  I rolled around blogger ideas in my mind and may check my blogger numbers.  I have not downloaded one photograph since before the internet went out a week ago.  I have not been inspired, but there is always tonight. 

Breakfast with the Beatles had two good guests.  One was a photo journalist who “by chance” got to film album covers for the Beatles, and the Stones and the Who.  He was at the Rock and Roll Circus in December of 1968 and they played “Yer Blues”.  The band was John Lennon, Keith Richard, Eric Claptin, and Mitch Mitchell from the Jimi Hendrix Experience.  This photo journalist also took photos of the Get Back “Roof top sessions” on January 30^th.  The Beatles had wanted to play in front of the pyramids with the sun rising in the background but that didn’t happen.  Another radio station talked about Alex Mardis spreading roomers about the Maharish which John and George believed.  John’s way of initially dealing with it was not to actually ask the Maharishi if there were any merit to these charges but he and George just announced “We’re leaving”.  And the Maharishi said “Why?”  And John Lennon said ‘If you’re so cosmic you already know why”.  That’s like me and Loretta.  Loretta turned sour on me and I haven’t the vaguest idea why but I guess if I were as cosmic which I DON’T claim to be, I would know why”.  Can anybody spell “Unreasonable”?  I went down eventually and Paul gave me three cigarettes and Loretta was down there and made some snide remark about my borrowing all the time.  Paul mentioned that “There are too many takers in this world and not enough givers” and I responded by saying I’d see to it that he got a full new pack of cigarettes on Wednesday.  KLOS had Mickey Dolans on as their other guest.  He was at Abbey Road when the Beatles were recording “Good Morning” and Martin played back the tape.  The studio was plain and ordinary, bordering on the stark, according to Mickey.  Next month Mickey Dolans is doing a new arrangement of “Good Morning” which they played” and also a new arrangement of “Randy Scoose Git”.  There was another dreamy song they played from the sequel to the ‘Head” movie in 1968.  Mickey is a level headed guy and the Monkees have always hung around the big whigs of Rock and Roll even though their fans are years younger.  As you know there was kind of a twentieth anniversary “push” for radio air play in early 1987 about the same time in my snail mail writings I predicted that Howard Richards would be reincarnated - - and this was in early March when there was a major super nova.  That would place his birthday in December of 1987.

America Is A Sick, Violent Society

Remember, children- - this is just an Insilated Isodent

"Little did I know I was in for a nasty, funny surprise"

The deaths of hundreds of thousands in Wartime is not a necessary Evil- - - It's just Necessary.  (I don't know who said this- maybe Neil Savedra of KFI)

Whof! America is a sick, violent country.  The psychos are loose and calling the shots, as well as making them.  As you know they are banning costumes at the Premier of “The Black Night” for obvious reasons, and they are toning down their promotions.  Both Presidential candidates have put their campaigns on hold.  Apparently a half hour after the movie began, Holms came in one of the back exit doors without setting off any alarms.  Apparently someone on the inside got a call on their cell phone and let him in.  He began firing into the packed theater.  The only thing quite as blatent is a fictional thing in Ghandi where British Troops open fire on a thick crowd of protestors in a square, trapped like rats.  The man as you know was dressed with total body armor and all in black and with a gas mask.  He tossed a tear gas grenade.  Twelve people are dead and two more are in grave condition right now.  That would make 57 others who are injured, which makes this one of the most massive killings of all time outside a war situation.  They say the shooting only lasted for two minutes but it seemed more like fifteen.  He had four different weapons and his apartment was booby trapped.  Now the police are saying they are going to have to discharge the weapons because the bomb cannot be disarmed. (?)  All of the weapons were obtained legally.  We obviously have to do something about our gun laws.  The tea party nut jobs have been calling the shots too long.  After Gabriel Giffords shooting, the President should have immediately called for tighter gun legislation.  But he was too much the political woose to do that.  Obama chose corardess over honor and doing the right thing.  Now he had another opportunity to do the right thing.  But it’s a crying shame all those people had to die before he acted.  It we had had better profiling gun laws and restricted gun sales at swap meets, none of this may have occurred.  But even now the sickos are clinging to their parrellel universe.  Judy told me this morning that the whole “shooting story” was just a “media diversion” so they won’t report that our dollar is worthless and people are refusing our dollars for oil, and China is going to pull all of its loans, and America doesn’t make anything here any more- - - and in Germany where they don’t censer the news like they do here it’s legal to criticize the President- - and the Germans regularly mock our President.  Of course we know that the Republicans are saying everyone in that theater should have been armed with a gun and firing into the dark, in a crowded theater full of tear gas.  Yeah, that makes sense.  And of course Eric Holder should be impeached for invoking executive privilege.  Because we all know there is a conspiracy to sell our guns to Mexican criminals to use in killing of American agents- - and apparently giving guns to criminals is part of some conspiracy to regulate firearms.  I can’t follow their logic.

In terms of any psychic preminisions of my own, one can’t help but note some surface resemtlence to that “other life” I have been describing in my writings and in my dreams.  Both of these individuals are virtually the same age.  I mention San Barnadino and Holms went to UC Riverside.  I also make reference to San Diego.  Also my “other life” went to quite a number of colleges.  But there are many differences.  My guy had been in mental institutions particularly around 2007 and 2008.  He didn’t get along with his family.  He was members of fraternities and colleges dorms, and was “a joiner” often joining groups he felt uncomfortable with.  But I talked with Mal Evans today and he said some stuff to me that convinced me that my ‘other life” had nothing to do with the life of James Holms.  Also there is a key lyrical passage in what you might call “ZAC scripture” that is highly telling.  After I bought the record with these key lyrics on it, it was April of 1080 and in a couple of days later we had a freak out of season bout of powerful hot Santa Ana winds.  These lyrics - - are ones that others had to quote to me correctly because I had the words wrong.  Some things are predestined, set in concrete.  Mal also told me “Don’t write down what you’re thinking right now”.  So I’m not, at least that.  But as I said in the last post, - - take two.  God Himself gets people off the hook because we know God is in charge of everything that happens and “Not one sparrow falls to earth without the father’s concent”.  But we don’t get off that easy.  We not only have to just LIVE WITH God’s will but Pray for it to Come to Pass.  We are to pray- - “Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done”.  Hell- - I’m not going to pray “Thy will be done”.  Not done by a god who is both omnipotent and utterly A-moral.   I hear people like John Boehner are so troubled with tea party people claiming to be God that he was wanting to blow the whistle on them.  But he accidently swallowed the whistle.  And he was early for his one o clock appointment to his therapist with the whistle caught in his throat.  But unbeknown to him his therapist doesn’t have a medical degree but only a degree in vetenary science.  Whof!  

Sometimes you feel like you’re living in a parrellel universe or something.  I tried to call Mom today and got through once and suddenly the computer speaker began blairing out something.  Mom had answered the phone and I was saying   “Just wait a minute I have to figure out which tab this is playing from”.  Finally I got it and there was dead silence at the other end.  Nobody was there.  I called again and this time the phone rang and rang and nobody picked up, not even their usual answering service down there.   I had David Cruise on talking more about the shooter in Aurora.  Eye Witness just said that he graduated from Westpoint High School or something in San Diego and lived in some Spanish sounding suburb.  His mother said ‘I know he’s the one who did it”, which is a puzzling statement since the man, James Holmes, appears to have absolutely no motive or agenda what so ever.  Other than “being rather quiet” there seems to be nothing abnormal about him at all.  There is no arrest record and no history of ever being in a mental facility unlike that Andrew guy on Days of our Lives.  He played junior varsity soccer in high school.  He was said to be “very smart” by one and all.  He attended the Universiry of Riverside.  I thought I heard it roomered he also attended UCSD.  He graduated from Riverside with a science degree in 2010.  He was said to have done well in Chemistry in high school.  They said last June he began “scoping out” Colorado, if you will, doing graduate work in Neurology at the University of Colorado.  But he “dropped out” there last month - - - (?)

I went to dinner.  We had barbecued chicken, which was just a drumstick, and corn, and spiced yams with strawberry ice cream for desert.  I was done and waited for seconds.  Sometimes I’m done with dinner as early as four thirty.  This evening I sat and waited for everyone else around to finish eating and preferably wait for the seconds tray.  I never heard anything and after a while as the place was thinning out I gave up and left.  I went out to the patio trying to bum a cigarette making a nuisance out of myself.  I finally went in the room to take off my shirt since it was getting hot.  I went back out to the patio and finally Larry Barton gave me shorts on his cigarette.  I went and turned on the news and looked at my watch and it said a quarter to five and I thought ‘You gotta be kidding” because I thought it was later.  I was restless.  Finally I went out about quarter after five to try and get a whole cigarette.  I saw Janet in the Hallway and she said Dr. Levy was here.  I hurried down.  The front room was all closed up and there was no sign of anybody having been in there lately.  Yet there were several who insisted that Dr. Levy had been here for quite some time and he called and called on the PA for me and others and we never came.  Apparently “He left because he was tired”.  Apparently in this stealth “dog whistle” visit- - - nobody reports his saying anything about anything about his vacation or why he’s been gone for in excess of six weeks or what have you.  It’s almost as if a select group people were playing some mind game on me.  Then I went down to the west patio and got a cigarette from Donald.  Right now they are saying “If we had information about a motive we would not share it with you”.  I know.  He’s really working for the CIA.

"It's Just Part of God's Plan"

We know how psychopaths love to invoke the name of God in their schemes.  There was that criminal minds guy last night on CBS who wanted to get the child's "permission" before offing their parents, usually the mother by saying something like "I just want to take away her pain.  You wouldn't want her to suffer would you".  Of course there is the Dead Kennedies song "I kill Children".  Well last night George Zimmerman said there is not one thing he would change.  All of his concern was only for himself and 'this is the biggest trial of my life' with zero compassion for the victim.  It was a strange interview.  David Cruise noted something I had noted before.  That when Zimmerman talks he seems heavily sedated yet in a trance like state, yet his body motions show restlessness.  He began the interview saying he really "didn't have the time to have formed any oppinions about this case" of his shooting Travon Martin.  But a minute later he says while in his jail cell he had a lot of time.  He is caught lying in other areas.  There is a 911 tape of Zimmerman saying he was pursuing Martin and the police say "We don't need you to do that" but Zimmerman said in the interview that he did NOT pursue Martin.  His explanation of the encounter is strange.  Zimmerman says he "glanced down for a moment to get his cell phone" and in that instant Trayvon Martin was all over him punching him to a bloody pulp and bashing his head into the sidewalk.  He said that Martin had straddled him- - and Zimmerman's back was now on the grass, when Zimmerman in desperation shot upward at him while on his back on the ground.  The only thing is that there was no blood on Zimmerman's shirt and the last time I checked gravity goes downward.  Also Zimmerman omits any reference to his screaming for help, but insists that Martin issued a stream of threats and explititives at him.  The only problem with this is that in another 9 - 11 call there ARE anguished tortured screams of "Help me" which ended abruptly the moment we heard the shot.  And there was nothing about threats and ezplititives uttered at Martin.  There are other inconsistencies about supposedly Trayvon Martin going between buildings and then "reappearing".  George Zimmerman said he was unfamiliar with the "stand your ground" doctrine as far as shooting despite the fact he had been on"patrol" for six months and his father was a Judge.  But by far the strangest part of the interview is when Sean asked him that if he had it to do over would he have been carrying a gun, or would he get out of the car or pursue Trayvon Martin.  And Zimmerman said "No" resolutely to each question.  In many cases the tape shows signs of editing.  Many times Zimmerman will trail off in a sentense and then Hannity abruptly changes the subject.  Many times Hannity asks leading questions, and also suggest the "correct answer" to a particular question.  Now they are saying that the prosecution will be using this tape as evidence of inconsistency.  The sad thing is that good born again Christians like Judy will believe every word of it.

The latest Batman movie opens tonight at midnight or whatever.  July 20th is the 43rd anniversary of the lunar landing of Apollo XI.  Of course the villian in the batman movie is named "Bain" after Bain Capital and Rush Limbaugh on his show the other day said that name was a gigantic Hollywood entertainment conspiracy.  Of course Romney is doing well leading the President by one point in the latest polls 47$ to 46%.  As you know you have to knock off three or four percentage points from any democrat to make up for the "red shift" factor with voting machines, that occurrs as regular as clock work these days.  As Randy Rhodes says "Our side is going to have to win big".  But of course we won't and so in January we are going to have our first Mormon President.  I happened to think of how President Obama is young enough that he could run again in 2016.  He would be the most popular political speaker the Democrats have and then it would be his turn to take pot shots at Romney.  I mentioned this to Stu Sutcliffe and he had this strange look he gave me and said "I just don't see that happening - not one bit".  I would take it he either sees Obama being reelected, which looks increasingly unlikely now, or else if there is a "Rapture" it is going to be of liberal democrats and not tea party republicans.  My feeling is Mitt Romney could be raptured tomorrow and it'd be the best possible thing for the country.  Of course the evening network news was a gallery of doom and gloom what with the Syria stuff and global warming and drought stuff, and now they are saying the economy is taking a downturn.  People have turned against the President in a big way- - as far as support for his economic leadership.  It was about even four months ago, but now an overwhelming majority favor Mitt Romney's policies.  I guess it's going to just take a little time to get used to the concept of a flip flopping tea party Mormon president whom everybody hates but still elected.  Personally I myself just see a lot of doom and gloom ahead without end.  I really don't see any redemption or way out.

Bomb Kills Three Syrian High Officials

President Assad has more cause than usual not to sleep too well tonight because a surprise bomb planted by a personal body guard killed three of Assad's high ranking subordinates   Many are speculating that it's an inside job.  If they are right it will mean Assad is in more trouble than he thinks.  If Syria is taken out, Iran will lose his only principal allay.  UN officials officially declared the conflict as a Civil War, which means that war crimes can be more easily prosecuted than before, or so I'm told.  The Obama administration called the situation in Syria intollerable.  One can hope that it's the beginning of the end for Assad.  People who have suffered a powerful blow such as this tend to slip into panic mode where they don't think out their subsequent decisions and are prone to mistakes.  If Assad falls one would hope it would be another feather in President Obama's cap.

The drought in most of the United States is getting nothing but worse.  In Indianapolis they have outlawed washing your car or watering your lawn, at any hour.  Cracks in the ground at golf courses are getting so big that golf balls get stuck in them.  And this is in areas that are usually water hazzards and wetlands.  The Mississippi River itself is some seventeen feet below normal and barges around Memphis have to lighten their loads to keep from running aground.  Islands have appeared out of nowhere in the river.  The weather department offers up no hope for relief, but from everything I hear the prognosis only gets bleaker with each passing day.  In major US cities temperatures continue to hang over a hundred degrees for days.  It's like that Captain Piccard episode where he is on this ancient planet and does soil samples for a living and each lab result is only more dire than the one before.

Randy Rhodes spoke of people working on false premises, or "Garbage in - garbage out".  This is very true.  People from the tea party and pastors of Church use the false premis as their favorite weapon of choice.  Pastors will say "God loves you and therefore if you don't love him back in the same way, you deserve to burn in hell for eternity".  Many people are cowed by cliche lines.  How many times have you heard the expression, perhaps between your children "I'm gona get even with him" and you tell this child that getting Even is a bad thing.  OK Fine.  Then what you are saying is that this sibbling should constantly think of himself as Superior to the other sibbling with never any reconciliation or closure.  And many like the President have had the false idea that not defending yourself is fine because it worked for Ghandi and therefore it will work for him.  Ghandi had a progressive British Media on his side to report everything that happened.  But in Obama's case the Media itself is run by the tea party so there is no official to appeal to for fairness.  People talk about the "Lesson of the Gospells" being what bad people the Jews are because they rejected the Son of God.  I think there IS an alligorical "Lesson" in the gospell but it's not what people think.  Here it is.  How many times have you been told "Just do everything right and get rid of all your bad habbits and check off your karma list or whatever like Earl in that series, and by the end of the day you can relax and feel confident you've been an obediant child of God.  But little do you know that God isn't as BIG as you THOUGHT he was, and even "God" is subject to - shall we say- - the political pressures and cares of this world and shifting political and military tides.  How many times have you heard "History is written by the Victors and not the Vanquished".  In this view of history, moral justification does not enter into the picture.  So all of that "being good" is for naught because now that very submission to authority and fidelity to the Laws of your religion- - are a source of indictment against you brought by your Enemies.  Now they have "reasoned outside the box" and have come up with a way to Justify their own fowl deeds no matter how devoted to your "Faith" you thought you were.  (Jews, meditate hard in these truths)

I was sent a thing by Pete Richards of "What would the Devil wish for America".  It was a 1965 radio talk of Paul Harvey.  About the ONLY thing I agree on with the whole list is establishing of State and local Lotteries to take money from the poor.  I would suggest that the Devil would feed the egoes of the Rich and make them want even more and be all the greedier and push to pass laws that are increasingly oppressive to the poor in every conceivable manner.  I as the Devil would want my people to say something only if it were either a lie, or hypocritical, or else blame shifting, or some sort of tempting beguilement.  I would expect a survent of mine in the military to have the following traits.  I would want him to be a self obsessed snob who looks down on everybody and makes racial slurrs about the stupidity of other races.  I would want him to constantly demend perks and make not one statement expressing concern for either my Country or the progress of the war.  Later on I would expect him to play off his children against each other and do everything I could to encourage the agressive bully to hassass the more miek of my children and send him little clues I want him to keep up for his behavior.  As a parent I would never apologise for anything.  I would discourage any of my kids coming to me with a problem.  If a kid were honist about a weakness I would "punish him" for his truthfulness and explode in a peroxis of accusations and let my imagination run wild.  Though I favored some kids over others constantly- - I would see to it that even the kids I favored despised me in the end.  If I were in the Churches I would only offer meracles or any sort to the LEAST dserving and see to it they made total asses of themselves and that everybody hated them- - particularly those outside the church.  I would make sure the ones I blessed the most in this way- - come to merit the hottest places in hell.  If I were the President my greatest joy would be a candidate who is secretive and hides his finances and other faults and who has a real contempt for anyone who does something actually productive for a living.  Everything out of his mouth would be a lie.  I would as with the church case take a nobody whom everybody who knew him hated to begin with and I would elevate him and feed his ego and tell him he was great bordering on Perfect.  I would desire that he had no remorse or shame about any of his faults.  I would want him to talk about Jesus a lot.  I would like my Pastors to compare themselves to Jesus and is possible say they WERE Jesus Christ himself.  Anything I could do to get people to hate Jesus Christ as a man and historical figure I would endeavor to accomplish.  I would constantly make appeals to secret doctrines of the Church and cast aspursion that only the priveleged get to be in my "Inner Circle".  And above all I would institute a climate of fear in whatever I did for perfect Fear casts out all Love, and Love and Courage and Integrety are the things I most despize.  If I had my way there would be shortages of everything among the common people and I would do everything I could to foster petty greeds and fan them into a major confligration..

Why Romney Won't Release His Taxes

First of all it's no wonder Romney has gone back to playing the race card and the "Not An American" card because he can't release his taxes particularly for 2009.  But as an illustration of how "out of touch" some - - - White- - people are is the way they don't know what's most important to Black people.  For instance in the Kennedy - Nixon campaign, candidate Nixon promised that if elected he would put a "Neegrow" in his Cabinet.  Kennedy saw that Martin Luther King was in prison in Atlanta in 1960 and intervened to have him released, knowing the short life expectency of Black men in a southern jail.  People say that Romney got out of Bain capital in 2002 or 1999 or whatever, but sources say he is still drawing an income from Bane Capital.  There are a couple of hundred workers in Freeport Illinois- employed what used to be Texas Instruments, a good American company.  I remember people speaking favoribly of Texas Instruments as makers of good calculators and other things in 1975 at Golden West.  These people are becomming unemployed because of another of these "Ventures" of Bane Capital, and one word from Mitt Romney even now would save their jobs because he still has a LOT of pull with the people at Bain.  However he had a campaign bus tour that was scheduled to go within a few miles of Freeport, Illinois but there were people waiting with signs there at the turn-off in protest.  So Mitt Romney takes a plane and flies over that whole part of the bus tour so he won't have to face them.  It was shades of President Bush regarding Hurricane Katrina as "flyover country".  He had a chance to make a difference and not doing so reveals something about his character.  The thing that his 2009 income taxes will reveal is that Mitt Romney was able to jiggle the number with "paper losses" when in fact like so many other Wall Street crooks made out like a bandit in the crash of 2008 - 2009.  John Mc Cain would have not seen this in the tax returns he saw because it hadn't happened yet.  Romney as much as admits he's not releasing more tax statements because the Other Side will only use it as ammunition.  That about says it all.  In my mind I as a "juror" have every right to draw an "adverse inference" from someone not stepping up to the plate.  Of course Mitt lived a pampered life getting a rare Religious draft deferment- - to do missionary work in France, to make good Mormons out of the French.  Romney went to Brigham Young.  And this is of course back before the church decided that Black people did NOT have the "Mark of Cain".  Clearly he was involved in privileged, elite employment opportunities most of us never get.  And as to Romney's other deeds those Olympic Uniforms were manufactured in Burma, which has even more slave-like standards than China does. And of course his great "achievement" was to get a Government bail-out.  Nobody is going to vote FOR Romney.  They are voting AGAINST President Obama for a whole, diverse and yet related set of reasons, almost 100% of them being based in ignorance and prejudice.

Here is another letter that was forwarded to me yesterday.  Some things that have flagged my alarmed attention was the following paragraph Pete Richards wrote to you.  Other paragraphs involved topics like "losing our constitutional rights" and homosexual marriages.  I'd call it "mentally unballanced" if I didn't know better.  Let's break it down now.  The red type is my response, and as you can see there is so much ignorance packed into every sentense it takes a while to unwravle it.

Remember what happened in Germany when they had financial problems and had to pay back nations.

 Reaponse:  Glen Beck has been saying the US would go the way of the Wymar Republican with tripple digit inflation due to our federal reserve policy.  This did not happen.  EVEN a little.  They said our credit rating was being downgraded.  People like Rush Limbaugh took almost extatic delight in this prospect.  Actually interest rates and bond yields wend DOWN during this crisis, and not up.  "The market" disagrees with the tea party.  They were putting their money INTO US bonds, not taking them out.  There is not a shadow of a chance of China pulling any of our loans.

 They thought the Jews were rich and weren’t paying their fair share. So Hitler persuaded the people to turn against them and how many were killed? And why? Because they were rich?

This is such a pathological sick couple of statements it turns my stomach.  This line of thinking portrays multi billionairs and the new Landed Gentry we fought to escape in the Revolutionary war- - now they are being portrayed as "victims" of those presumably Nazi sympathizing Wall Street occupy protestors, who must be the new brown shirts or something.  The filty rich have had no better friend in the White House than this President.  They have never don't better.  They aren't being bled dry like a turnup.  And nobody is vaguely suggesting they be denied any of their civil rights.

Or because they didn’t have the right hair color?? (Sound Familiar?) Why would you say you preferred a socialist society? It’s been tried before, Tim.

First of all it's an insult to Jews everywhere for everyone and his dog to envoke their name and memory for every political cause out there.  If I were a Jew I'd be so SICK of this I couldn't imagine.  But in the second place Naziism is not socialism it's Fascism.  Socialism was tried and Works better than our system in a lot of countries and the people by actual surveys are happier.  But just where- - by what stretch of the Imagination has this President done ANYTHING vaguely socialist.  This health care package was one sponsored by the Heritage Foundation back in the nineties and championed by Mitt Romney less than ten years ago.  Trying to say ANY of this to Paul is like talking to a brick wall, and I wouldn't attempt it.

Bonus Paragraph  The only thing that secures our freedoms here is our constitution that was framed by people who believed that there were certain unalienable rights that come from God and that it was the government’s job to protect those rights. Once we give up on that premise, then the government becomes as God and will ultimately become dictatorial and have to control everything. Why would you want that?  Our form of government has lasted a long time and has worked pretty well – so why follow the pattern of other countries who have failed miserably?

They had Steve Jobs on Sixty Minutes.  It was a rerun of that Biography book this critical author came out with saying what an egotistical jerk Steve Jobs was, just like Mittens Romney.  In the early days he fancied himself a hippy so never bathed and they made him work the night shift, and Steve would never admit he had a problem.  Steve lived in an "alternate reality" his whole life believing he was "special".   And people would beg for stock options who had worked tirelessly with him when the Apple II computer made him millions but Steve would refuse.  Even though he was adopted and the product of an illicit sexual union, he himself denied his own child when a girlfriend got pregnant.  One guy described it as “Steve’s alternate reality”.  They had how he pushed and pushed people to get out code for the Mackentosh and they told him it was an impossible deadline.  Steve Wazniac gave stock options to all his friends.  He did all the real work, like actually writing the code for the programs.  It was Wazniac who invented GUI back in the mid seventies.  In the way of Cosmic gossip there is a roomer afoot in the past few days that Steve Jobs is now on Andromeda D.  "Oh well, it's a pretty big planet, besides- the more the merrier- - right".  (note the context of this quote)

In other news, the Boy Scouts organization still doesn't want gays in it.  Now the California legislature is trying to pass a law that says a dependent Child can have more than two parents legally.  He can have, three or four, perhaps even five.  Of course this raises issues like who will take the children as tax deductions because you'll know the Federal Government will have none of this nonsense with more than two parents.  There are issues of health and who has the right to authroize surgery, or even things such establishing which school district the child will attend.  This is someone's crazy pipe dream apparently with the goal that at least "somebody" will be willing to support this child.

We all tend to ask the question whether the election of a particular candidate will affect our own lives for the better or adversely.  I'm glad that President Obama's political Ads are working but he heeds to keep up the pressure and not relent.  Romney is on the ropes with this income tax issue.  I'm a little surprised how all these other Republicans and their voters who couldn't stand Romney in the primaries are now closing ranks tightly in support of him.  Their man, Romney can do no wrong.  They are no longer troubled by his tax returns, or vulture capitalism, or wall street manipulation (failure to comdemn it like Michelle Bachman and Rick Perry did),  as well as his Mormonism, escaping the draft, or just his over-all detached and out of touch personality.  They aren't worried about either Romney Care or his dismal job creation as Governor of Massachusetts, or his flip flops on such issues as gays, and global warming, or abortion.  Suddenly purchassing Stericycle, a firm that disposes of aborted fetuses, or that Romney specifically sought out companies specializing in out-sourcing.  If you're looking for a Dr. Levy update- - tomorrow will make six weeks that we haven't met as a class.  My records, hopefully, are still over at his house.  There was all this stuff he was planning as soon as he got back from his Italy vacation that involved us.  Money for me is really tight. 

Seventeen Angry Billionaires Buying America

If the formatting on this posting isn't right, I'll change it.

Well that one guy in the interview uses the F--- word a lot and comes on a little strong, but it was still a good speech.  This posting is an adaptation of a letter I just wrote my brother, Al, in response to some dramitization he sent me about this guy being asked what was great about America.  He rattles off all the usual statistics about us being number twenty in math and science and only third in household income and down the list in infant mortality and health care and so many other things.  The only areas where we lead is in those who believe in angels or the seven day Creation of the world.  The only problem now is if you talk down America you'll sound like the Tea Party, which oddly and ironically, is one of the most anti American organizations on the face of the earth.  What the tea party stands for at their core is the patently un American concept of international corporate money not respecting international bounderies, and also the idea of a moneyed Heiristocracy of ever greater wealth in fewer and fewer hands.  Now there are seventeen of they and this year if they are successful, America as we know it will cease to exist. They call our President the most disparaging names and show disrespect for our President at every turn.  The President isn't even allowed media time to address congress on an important issue without running it by Rush Limbaugh first.  Rush Limbaugh said on his show the other day "Obama hates America and I state this unequivacally".  And soon every other tea party spokesman including Sean Hannity echoed these sentaments in interviews. As to this matter of the President talking about "No man is an island" this radio talk show host from New Hampshire today regards this as "unacceptable" saying "He has no idea what America is all about".  He then goes on to talk about taking a business risk and making money.  But as others have said before me, Romney is extremely risk adverse.  The minute Bain Capital figured out they could make more money by sinking corporations rather than saving them, that's just what they did.  And Romney cries crockadile tears for the Blacks and the unemployed, all the while- - looting all of those corporations he was supposed to be helping at Bain capital.  What struck me about Romney is that he is making it an issue that somehow "Greed is good' and should override every other qualification for President.  He'll say 'I know how to make money for the share holders at Bain Capitol".  So he makes money for - - HIMSELF!  This is his sole qualification.  The only issue he IS talking about now is the economy.  He's been boxed in on all the other issues.  He gets tied up in knotts talking about Health Care and flip flops like a mexican jumping bean.  He is a little confused on the gay marriage issue.  He remains silent on the Dream Act on immigration - - even though he said in the debates he would veto the act if he were President.  He can't say that now.  We know he doesn't have "Evangelical" credentials with his mormonism.  He has no foreign policy experiance (and President Obama has nothing but success in this area).  So Romney clings to the fig leaf of the economy and unemployment, pretending to feel sympathy he has a history of showing contempt for, and I'd use that "I'd like Firing people" in every add.  And now Republicans and other conservatives are wondering just what's with Romney for failure to release his taxes for a dozen years.  Given the absence of information- - people's imaginations have a tendancy to run away with them, and this is one FEAR that works in the President's favor.  

But just look at it this way.  If you're a house painted have you done such a great thing if to "maximize your own profit" you use a cheaper grade of paint than you said you would, or cut corners and don't hit all the knooks and cranies and take a lot less time than you know the job merits.  Do you then brag how you swindled your customer?  Only Romney calls that a good thing, invoking the doctrine of Gordon Gecko of "I wrecked your father's company because it was Wreckable!" almost screaming it, as though Buddy Fox were dense in not knowing that.  I have often said about one thing that has galled me over the years about Christians of the Calvary Chapel perswasion is that they don't brag about what They have done for God- - or their Fellow Man, but rather brag about the "Wealth" that God has bestowed upon them.  And I know in this area I'm a screwed duck.  I'll never be able to compete.  As they say in the alcoholic pledge "I have controle over certain things- - but other things, that I don't have ANY control over - - I shouldn't bother about.  I am thus too "spiritually poor" to ever really make it as a Calvary Chapel Christian.  (Selah)

We have moved the political goal posts so far afield, you can't call this campaign even kosher any more.  So many low blows have already been delivered.  When you have debates more resembling one of these TV shows like Jerry Springer or Wally George - - rather than a debate on the future of our country- - - - .  The idea of science itself or objective facts is an alien concept to these tea party people.  Romney doesn't care about "buy American" and twice lately a representative on Meet the Press  was asked about this "Buy American" bit, and the Romney spoksmen refused to answer either question, either about the Olympic uniforms, or "Does your boss stand by the outsoursing stuff Bain Capital did?  He won't answer about the dream act, and he won't answer why he won't release his Income Tax statements, or frankly the Minutes to Bain Capital for those critical years of board meetings.  And one thing nobody asked was "If Mitt Romney wasn't in charge- - who WAS??  Give us names and phone numbers and we can call them up and ask them what they did and didn't do.  Romney can't do that.  These "other people" are figments of his imagination just like those "stock holders" are an artificial Romney creation.  This guy is such a phoney he'd make a store manicken blush!  And like I say I don't even know how long this political farce that is the 2012 Presidential campaign can go on.

I spoke of "disassociating with one's past".  I've had second thoughts about that word "disassociation". Perhaps "abandoning" or "walking away from" would have been better choices.  Because "disassociation" conotates a scitzophrenic who has multi personalities- - - or displaced "affect" or feelings.  I once remarked Pete Richards "Pastor Mark is so GOOD at this "role playing" he does where he gets angry at this imaginary opponet in his sermons.  And Pete Richards responded "That's because that phantom he invents is really his OWN repressed feelings.  One evangelist warned that some Born Again experiances are just "the same guy doing the same Business on the other side of the street".  I see traits of this in Pete Richards, if you want to know the truth.  So many Bosc mates of mine seem to be dogged by some past that's like that "shadow comes creeping in your room" just like the Dylan song.  That's one great song on the Whitmark tapes called "Tell me what- you're gona do".  Like when you can't play God no more" and the like.  Someone who has had a true "transformation" is not Afraid of his past- - - it's just irrelivent to him; that's all.  There no "emotional trigger words" that are ready to "set him off" at a moments notice like post traumatic stress sidrone or something.  There is no "repression" or "supression" going on.  Ron Hubbard talked about "Supressive individuals".  I like the phrase because I think a lot of Jesus people are Supressive individuals.  They are control freaks because deep down "where the sun don't shine" they themselves feel OUT of control of their Own Souls.  (Selah)  Sometimes I wonder about people like Barry Mc Guire who used to be a leftie, but then turned Born Again.  I just can't personally fathom Barry Mc Guire as a card carrying tea totelling member of the tea party set.  Larry Norman one might say 'mercifully was taken by the Lord" before he ever had to face this awful moral choice in his own life.  Some have said that Jesus and Elvis have this in common, that "I like Them- - - but it's just their fan clubs that have me climbing the walls".  And so Mal Evans made it clear to me today that he is not at war with Scientology as a belief system, but the Church of Scientology is something virtually wholly removed from the Belief System that constitutes Scientology.  By the way- - ADD Eric Cantor's name to that list of "Anathema people" who are regarded by the Federation as Unredeemable.  I hope his political carrier goes down in flames this November.  "Tis a consumation devoutly to be wished".  I'm glad the President at last has found a voice and that he's good some good Ads out now.  Keep it up.  And pray it isn't Too Late.

 

The Value of Goats Milk in the Daily Diet

The scene is a bunch of old ladies sitting around watching slides of old summer vacations endlessly.  Among them are some disgruntled men with varied expressions on their faces.  Occasionally one man in particular will let out a remark "Oh this paradise- - this is bliss, let me tell you" and finally another man there asked him "We've been stuck here for three days watching these slides interrupted by an occasional Lawerence Welk record, and I'm so uptight I'm ready to claw my face off.  Yet you seem completely as Peace, what's up with you?"  The other man replied, "Believe me after being chased around with pitch fork wielding demons endlessly for centuries over smoldering rocks and leaping flames, this is paradise.  And the old ladies come around with soft drinks and all the snacks you can eat from time to time.  Do you know how many centuries it's been since I have Eaten?"

Ghandi said he would lecture on "The value of goat's milk in the daily diet" once, to desguise the basically political thrust of most of his remarks.  As you know we talked about in that other posting the idea of various forms of "Worship" or some would say "Wholeistic Living".   One means of doing this is watching what you put into the body, and also knowing what to keep out.  You don't want a lot of all those things such as tryglycerides and free radicals and other gunk and schmootz in your system.  (Not to go Yiddish on you or anything)  A good guide is "Let the cure fit the problem".  For instance, if your problem is a problem with the "Soul" so to speak- - if that's how the problem was caused- - you need to look elsewhere other than the physical.  I have often spoken of the idea that if a BASIC program doesn't seem to be running right and you seem "stuck" then just "look under the hood to see what is going on".  This is true both in the physical and in the metaphysical.  Scottie of Star Trek claims he used to be able to tell you a lot about the engine just by the sounds it made and the way the floor boards rumble.  Though I suspect this is more of a cry of long haul truckers rather than a Star Trek officer.  In the original Saturday draft of this I went on to say that the problem lies often not in the foods we eat but our ability to digest it properly.  I got on Dr. Oz's case about eating foods that just sit around in your stomach for hours undigested, and this is not good.  Any more than a vitamin or iron or calcium pill does the body any good found days later in a medical X ray of your GI tract.  I spook of all of the gunk and "shmootz" in your digestive system, that only develops toxins in the body.  And I then spoke of the idea of it's not just what you put into the body but what you should leave out.  And I would maintain the same is true for your Soul.  The only thing is we can't put our souls under a flouroscope to look at it.  This is why I said in the last posting of Saturday morning "If you don't trust me and think that I am peddeling a bogus product, it's prudent to go with Logic alone.  Because logic will take you a long way by itself.  This is why I am passionate in defending Atheists more than I am in defending Church people.  Yesterday on KTLK they had the "37 strawberries" thing and then the product with the six digestive enzymes after that- - running from eight to nine PDT.  I spoke of my own life and how I don't have a problem digesting proteins or fats.  I don't have "fatty blood" from failure to break down large fat molicules into the vital "fatty acids" our bodies need.  But I do have a problem with whole grain and not just any grain but wheat.  I do fine with corn.  Going Mexican is no problem for me.  I'm OK with oats and rice.  But wheat is a different story.  I told you about the times Bill Gunderson brings over these whole grain muffins.  And how I often feel bloated and gassious from that.  In the same way that attending Bible Studies makes you feel mentally "bloated" and a little- - whatever.  I would rather just see people eat processed foods and pizza and pasta are great even though they are processed.  I would guess processed grains would not be so successful if the people didn't want them. And need I say that one reason why pizzas sell so well is that they are very digestable.  You can eat a lot without feeling bloated, like you have a hunk of cement in your stomach, or at least I can.  On the other hand people eat those macro biotic diets of alphalpha sprouts and other organic greens and seeds or whatever- - and many of them get sick, because although it's the "right food" your body isn't assimilating them the say it's "theoretically" supposed to.  When I write something in a blog I want it to be in a form that can be "assimilated" by you.  If I can't do that I'm not doing my job.  A good school teacher should teach the book in such a way that if he's on chapter seven now- - - his students should be able to teach other students who just arrived chapters one through six without a problem.  I would not go so far as to say that "everything should be simple" as Einstein did once.  But you should be able to strike a "positive association" within the brain.  As I said we learn through four ways.  Some by authoritave means alone.  Others by visual imigry.  Memory people like visual images.  Others go by the hard knocks of experiance.  Some have said 'Experiance is a hard task master".  The other way we learn is by body senses.  We have this "sense memory" where we program our bodies to act almost on reflex to - - make coffee in the morning when we are half asleep.  Or to respond in a certain way when told to give our name, rank, and cereal number.  This is rote.  High School bands at football games rely on this all the time- - both in the tunes they play- - and in their own half-time routines- - like "second nature".  If logic were "second nature" to more of us and not just Commander Spock, it is my contention this would be a lot better world.

I wasn't going to post at all today first because my internet was down, and secondly in honor of John Lennon's mother.  I am reminded that today is the 54th anniversary of the tragic death of Julia Lennon, John Julian Lennon's mother.  She was hit by a drunk driver in a car on July 15th 1958.  So they played "Julia" and "My Mommy's Dead" and "Mother" and "Hey Jude" in her honor.  In the book SHOUT the next chapter was "Cynthia and Stewart" because these two people came into John's life when he really needed close friends.  It's better to offer your services when there is a real need.  Mitt Romney can talk all he wants to about how he "really feels for the minorities and unemployed" and the "gut wrenching" unemployment numbers.  However where the rubber meets the road he falls down on the job.  Now his aid is saying that "You know I think it's a dirty political trick to demand Romney make his income tax records public because they'll only use the material for more political adds".  That's right up there with a lawyer asking Mark Fermin in the OJ trial "Did you ever use the word Nigger" and Fermin takes the fifth to every question.  What can be done for you when you make a statement like this???  The media as a whole is so hoodwinked that they let the Tea Party frame every qestion they ask.  Of course that guy on Meet the Press spoke of "Well I'm concerned about our tax laws favoring relocating off seas".  Well so am I.  And yet the tea party fights any bill to rewrite the tax laws to discourage relocation to another country.  When the President asks you about what you call your Strongest Point- - and you say in response "It's beneath the dignity of the President to raise such an issue" this is silly.  David Gregory kept trying to get that guy to answer the question "Does Mitt Romney support the outsourcing that Bane capital did?  Does Mitt Romney say it's a bad idea for Olympic Uniforms to be made in China?  And the guy refuses to answer.  According to the Mc Laughlin group Romney is close to picking Tim Polente for vice president because they are such good friends.  So I will defer to Pat's judgement on this one.  I had a lot of other notes written down, but I think I've made about all of the points I need to make right now.  Yesterday was "moon the train" Saturday, the Second Saturday every July.  The first Saturday I remember them doing that was July 14th 1990.

It could be that the reason to push for no physical DVD's in Movies and such is that it cuts down on piracy of movies so the companies like things like Netflix rentals.  You can apparently rent any movie you want for $8.95 a month.  Unbelievable!  Leo Le Port continues to insist not only audio CD's but also DVD's which have only been around since 1998, will become a thing of the past.  I certainly hope hot.  I don't trust "the cloud" entirely.  And people won't even store their Movies that they own on their own hard drives but these, too are in "the cloud".  Apparently "Hand Brake" is a company that RIPS DVD's.  "Fresh Books" is a business program that makes out its own Invoices, but also can be set to automatically send customers Late on payment notices.  Leo likes the I phone for people that have never owned a smart phone before.  He says that you can't trust some Android products (even though that is an open system) because they use obsolete programs of Android.  But there are two Android phones he likes even better than I phones for the seasoned purchasers.  It seems the I Phone keyboard is always in caps even when you are typing in small letters.  Also Leo says that Android offers up multiple keyboards to make use of.  Apparently Chris Marquardt had the assignment today of shooting photos under the theme of "barbecue grilling".

HELP IS ON THE WAY  I think "Pink" contacted me this morning so as to give a sign things would improve and I wasn't forgotten about. It would seem that Pink, like Kurt, prefers to disassociate from his past because that "Isn't him any more".  In other words he's gotten past it.  John Lennon must have been having some sort of identity crisis in late 1958 having more time on his hands with the Quarrymen no longer together.  Now he was back in college but in the late summer of 1958 John was not yet seventeen.  But the schools are different in England and they had what you call 'O Levels".  Since Lennon majored in Art himself I wonder if there any of HIS paintings in evidence.  Just how into Art was John himself?  I know they interview a lot of overnight rock stars wondering if they'll be doing what they're doing now- - when they are forty, and many of them say "Well, I'll ride this tide till people discover something Else."  I think Lennon himself contacted me this afternoon because I was going comment about "addressing 2nd person remarks in the Feminine gender" and is there some kind of "secret message" conveyed in the song "Instant Karma" and would the Crestorians be offended.   John reassured me, "Look, it's just me writing a song.  How can THAT possibly be tied in with the crestorians.  The song could make reference to the implied existance of another individual.  The question is whether I came up with all that "Death" stuff in 1969 myself.  There was a whole Comic Strip thing that had been going on for a year and a half- - - and Death had become a predominent note in the past few months.  The whole idea behind Cold Turkey (maybe) was that it was to be a parody of an Eric Burden song turned around from a "Film Rose' to a "Film Noier" or "Dark film".  So in the song all the good stuff in the original Animals song was turned around 180 degrees to look dark and ugly.
