Out of Sight - Out of Mind

"I know my life will end the moment I

have completed everything God

put me on this earth to accomplish"

-Chuck Smith

"Pray that you be accounted worthy to escape these things"

Now British Petrolium has found a way in a colossal case of “Out of Sight – Out of Mind” to get rid of that Louisiana oil slick without actually getting rid of any oil from the eco system. They are administering massive ammounds of the chemical 2-butyl ethanol into the leak points. Keep in mind they are not plugging the leaks but only using this chemical dispursal agent. People can’t face the prospect of all this oil washing up on the beach and depositing as tar, from there to have to be cleaned up and put in toxic dump sites. But what ithis agent does is to keep the oil slick from being photographed because rather than come to the surface, the oil remains in the water to get into the eco system where it’s injested first by the bottom dwellers of the sea, and then on up the food chain. And the thing is tis substance, which they say smells like ether, is not exactly safe. It causes dangerous changes in the hemoglogin and genetic mutations in beneficial bacteria and also is associated with low blood pressure and reproductive problems in man and foul. This 2-butal ethanol is a patented secret formula that has never been adequately tested for toxisity. And since it’s a secret the government can’t get their hands on it. So now we sit back and wait for a bigger disaster to happen. The question arises where President Obama still wants to expand oil drilling into new sectors in light of these events. Sometimes you have to do something even when it hurts. If you have a resolution, do you stick to it, or let current prudence be your guide? Governor Swartzenegger has reversed his position on off shore oil in California. If we continue to import oil from the mideast - we wouldn't have prevented this problem - and we have all those new problems from using foreign oil. We all know from Norway regulations, that oil drilling could be a whole lot safer than it is here. As bad as this leak is, would you prefer perhaps a massive radiation leak from a nuclear reactor instead?

People are upset because Fisel Shahzad was read his Meranda rights. John Mc Cain, and Joe Lieberman are troubled by this. But such people are highly ignorant of the nature of the US constitution. These are not rights they are GIVEN at some point in time, these are rights every American citizen HAS from the moment they are arrested and it’s just a question of exercizing them. All Meranfizing a subject does is to insure that the evidence they give will stick in court and will thus insure a conviction. Many people on the right don’t even want Shazad to be convicted in a civil court and go to jail. Because prisoners have certain rights, and among these is the right not to be tortured. These people on the right would much prefer a Devil’s Island type situation living under the most adverse of conditions where neither his guilt nor innocence is ever established. But these people go further. They want to pass a law that says any American can be summarily stripped of citizenship if he’s suspected of certain terrorist activities. You know that Shazad was made an American citizen last year. The thing is Shazad is singing like a canary so much and providing such good propaganda material for the right wing, some might wonder whether this guy is some kind of a plant or something. After all they say that until recently Shazad has no terrorist inclinations but was the son of privilege born to an Aif Force officer in Pakistan and had a good education, and got mattied with kids and did the whole traditional “setteling down” type of thing there in a house in Bridgeport, Conn. That is – until his house was forclosed on.

Once upon a time there was a single mother who had a son with Cerebral Paulsey whom she sought to give a proper Catholic upbringing to attone for her own moral failings. But she was filled with apprehension when one day the son came home from Catholic school and said he would be taking holy communion for the first time the following Sunday. She knew not but it was the Devil that planted this apprehension in her mind, for she reasoned “What if my son accepts the body of Christ and has the faith to be healed from his Cerebral Paulsey?” And she did dial KFI radio station where there was a like minded “Holy Host” who called himself Jesus Christ. And he agreed with her. And he told her “What you need to do is the art of Managed expectations”. And he said to her “Why do you want to fix what God has declaired is not broken? For the reason why your son has Cerebral Paulsey is because God knows you can be trusted.” And so it is that Jesus, who never did believe in any manifestations of the supernatural, had to “kick it up a notch” like Hope Brady- - and come out and say that a disabeling condition like CP was part of God’s perfect plan for her son. And so it is that the whole God damned Catholic Church is “broken” in that there are gay, child molesting priests out there that were attracted to the Faith because they wouldn’t have to face marriage to a woman, and as such many other rationalizations of infallible and prohibitions against priestly procreation and descendancy- - and behold the whole system was broken, but the Pope did declare it all “Not Broken” and things were “Just fine” and anybody who thought other wise was like the anti semites in Nazi Germany or something. So with the Catholic Church and the Nazis the adage is proved true “He who seeks to preserve his life will lose it, and anybody who risks his life will Save it”. As it is also written “If a government cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich”. And lest the emperor be accused of having no clothes, the Pope forarms himself with an edict of personal infallibility. And he extends this gift of infallibility to any talk show host in Los Angeles will is willing to sell their soul.

It is a common belief in certain Spiritual circles that what I refer to as the hyper-space realm is the realm where anything really Important and Real happens and that earth is just some kind of a holding tank or something for souls doing time waiting to get on with their real lives. A common theme is that in the last days there will be a separation of Good and Evil so that both are clearly identifiable. Rather than a chemical that dispurses the oil further into the eco system what you need is a substance that congeals the oil and allows it to clump together all in one place. If Good and Evil were playing some cosmic chess game and Evil was clearly losing in a fair head to head contest, Evil might decide reality was too intrusive and seek to hid in some lower dimension- - like Earth, where his activities can be more earily cloaked. Another trait of evil is that they invariably take one mistake and compound it into other more serious misdeeds in an attempt to cover up the first briech of protocol. Picture the recent “24” scenario. To refresh you on the story line it was demonstrated that the Russian government was responsible for the attempt selling of nuclear rods to terrorists to sabotage the peace process. Now there is a Double Agent named Dana, she she was ready to sing after being slapped around a little by Jack Bower. People regarded it only as a matter of time before the whole truth came out - - and this sham of a Peace treaty involving a key mideast nation would be torpedoed. President Taylow didn’t want that to happen. She regarded this ready to be signed Peace treaty as the keystone of her Administration. Yet with consultation with her trusted aid, Ethan, they both agreed that a withdrawal speech should be drafter and that President Taylor needed to go before the cameras very soon to announce the Peace Tready was done with and would not happen. But then another aid of hers said “You have another choice. All you need to do is to take Dana (the double agent) out of the loup and “dispose of her” and turn her over to a private agency like Blackwater to be tortured or whatever- and never again see the light of day. And President Taylor made this decision for “expediency” and decided she didn’t mind adding torture and abuse of power to her list of misdeeds. Part of what Satan will tell you when you try and address a problem is “Why do you fix what God has declared isn’t broken. Things are just find the way they are. All you need to do is step up your duplicity and cover-up activities”. We don’t know whether this advisor of President Taylor is “walk in” and that he wasn’t really who she thought he was. In the last days- - souls will invade bodies and personalities will be transformed. It’s not that they were “turned to the dark side” a la Star Wars - - it is that their former souls attained Enlightenment and Bode Safa not withstanding- - -they fell to the final temptation of the Buddah by the Devil to just “take your enlightenment ans Vanish into Nirvana”. As such these souls are liberated. But the dark souls that replace them were only available because the Devil was losing so many pieces in a chess game with Good that these pieces rather than be hostages, sough a portal to a “lower dimension” like Earth where they would have the field all to themselves- - because the spiritual rules of the game there were not enforced. So it will be on September 25^th. 2010.

Pakistani National Arrested in Car Bomb Case

Let’s just jump right in here with my notes. Two pairs of white socks. Oopse. That’s the wrong side. Here we go. Fisel Shahad was arrested today for the attempted Times Square bombing of last Saturday night in New York. As you know for a while people didn’t know who the suspect was – only that an S U V pulled up and parked and it looked sort of suspicious and someone reported it. And they found a rather crudely made bomb consisting of firecrackers and canisters of propane gas. They say if the bomb had actually gone off the Right would have had their “Rallying point” with an incident on President Obama’s watch. The blast would have extended out several hundred yards and the height and narrow confines of the building would have amplified the blast effects, not to mention the high speed debris that would be flying around, injuring and killing still more people. They had been looking for a forty year old white guy who had shown up on a video and they say he changed his shirt. That could have been because it was a hot, muggy night. Fissel Shabad is a Pakistani national who was naturalized as a citizen into this country. He was arrested at the airport just before boarding a United Arab Emerits flight to Dubai - - and from thence go on to Pakistan. I suppose they will want to water board him to get the truth out of him. Now they are saying that he is cooperating and is providing valuable information. He says that he was trained by the Talliban. His residence here was in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Some people like me and Randy Rhodes chalk up this whole thing to “just another day in the Big City.” She remarks that things are exploding in New York all the time like a man hole that exploded the other day and according to her sent flames several stories high. I would like to have seen that. Perhaps there is a video. People like me just don’t have the “worry gene” - - like that officer in Appcralipse Now - - which many people said “You know he’s the sort that will come through this war without a scratch” and his solution to your worries was “Go surfing”. I guess I’m just confident enough in our government that they’ll protect us and keep anything really bad from befalling the population. If there is a God out there you might want to sent up a prayer of thanks. These people keep saying “We have all sorts of horrible things planned for the United States”. But my philosophy is that Al Qaeda is one of those organizations that will “wither on the vine” eventually, and as the years pass will be forgotten, except for a footnote in some history book. We’ll see.

Well, George Washington’s Blog featured a chart of all the currents in the Gulf of Mexico and demonstrated how this massive oil slick off Louisiana could eventually make its way around the Florida keys and into the Gulf Stream. How ironic that it’s the red states whom disaster seems to be befalling. They say the shrimp and fishing industry will be wiped out. Where is Forrest Gump when you need him? Nashville is under water. Some river along the Tennessee Valley flood plain is flooding out everything and the water in most places is eight to ten feet high, including the Grand Old Oprey building. Some on the right would like to blame things on Obama. There are your usual tornadoes and I saw the video of that one in Mississippi looking out the window. The wind wasn’t blowing THAT hard- - and I kept looking for funnel clouds to form. They say that particular series of tornadoes cut a swath over a hundred miles long, which is a little long. All I can say is spring is a season I want to be in - - with other parts of the country because you know spring has arrived when the weather starts getting more violent. In terms of that oil rig, the rig was owned by Trans Ocean Oil, but it was British Petroleum that operated the platform. Haliburten was in charge of the cement. They say that the oil was exceptionally deep, like eighteen hundred feet, where they could not possible send people un SCUBA suits. They have been saying that the rig will continue to leak oil for three months unless they dynamite the whole thing, assuming that would work. It seems their liability is limited to $75,000,000 or something, which won’t be nearly enough to cover the billions of dollars of damages. But some “reform” laws were passed in the Bush 41 administration in the early ‘nineties to protect corporations. Now the state of Hawaii has passed a resolution of their legislature to do what Tom Hartman says is imperative- - and that is to say Corporations do not have the right of human beings, and are not protected by the first, fourth, fifth, and fourteenth amendments. Hawaii admonishes the Federal Congress to get about the business of drafting a Constitutional amendment that would accomplish the goals of striping personhood from corporations. Of course they could invoke the corporate death penalty, unless Charles Manson has already gotten to the justices on that issue. In the nineteenth century, invocation of the corporate Death penalty used to be common place as corporations were found guilty of violating their charters and “No longer being in the public interest”. We can always hope. Like I say we need some sort of Green Party candidate. I think Ralph Nader is a good start, if he has the perniciousness to run again. Once we rally all of our forces, perhaps in the process, a better candidate will emerge. Thom Hartman is such a gifted individual at putting words together and the amount of research he has done is amazing. But we’ll need his voice on the radio to cheer on whoever the Green Party runs.

We’re now on page seven. Today is May 4, 2010, and we are reminded that it is the fortieth anniversary of Kent State shooting day where four unarmed students were gunned down by the National Guard. As the Beach Boys song says, “They say the students scared the guards, though the troops were battle dressed”. Now they are saying that a specific order was given at a point in time to fire on the unarmed students. For just thirteen seconds, 67 bullets rained down on the demonstrators, killing four. 27 guardsmen admit to firing their weapons. Being on the Left forty years ago was no walk in the park. You were putting your life on the line. Unfortunately people our age pushing sixty- - have long memories and we remember these things- - and as such our own generation is reluctant to demonstrate politically now. We would hope that the younger generation would take up the mantel. But the media is no longer on our side. Even Gandhi, if he hadn’t had good press, would not have been as successful as he was. If you want to know what I really am afraid of it’s the evolution and transmutation of our government into a repressive, fascist state, where citizens willingly surrender their rights and think they are being patriotic in the process. We are not yet at that “tipping point” but someone with their political finger to the wind is probably gauging the outlook of the American people, and when the time is right they’ll move to lock our society down.

And now we move on to what was going to be a Katie Curic type interview of myself where I say things about myself you never knew, such as my middle name. Well let's play the Wheel of Fortune game. Is there an S? - Yes. Is there an N? Yes. Is there an L? Yes. "Pat, I'd like to buy a vowel, an I" "You can do that". Is there a T? "No. You lose the floor, on to the next contestant". This would be easier with a visual. As people like Tony Edwards will tell you, my middle name is a comon brand name for various sports equipment. Also my middle name is English, although my last name is not English. I hope that helps. You know I guess I'm a little like Paul Mc Cartney. They say he had such a super abondance of creative ideas he didn't know which ones to hit first- - so he did Mc Cartney, which outraged the critics with its seemingly half-assed quality. My blogs are the same way. In the early days like in April of 2006 I immediately went off in a lot of different directions. I did E mailings to people and all sorts of stuff. You know in my prophecy book- - I ran my ideas past a "doctrinal filter" - so if the book seems a litter dryer than you'd normally expect from me, that's why. I got rid of most of Mark Campbell's ideas that I was going to use, and those ideas of Marks which do appear in the book are the parts of the book I am most proud of. Some of these pertain to ratting out your friends. Mark and I were watching this Prison movie in July of 1980 where you had to know who your friends were and who would sell you out for a carton of cigarettes. Also there are sentaments about rural life being better than city life- - people gathered together in small bands, as opposed ti a big City behind brick walls with battlements you constantly have to defend. As you know I wrote 29 or 30 original piano compositions as a child. The last one was when I was twelve - - - song number thirty was written in January of 1963 and I sometimes don't count it because it kind of lifted that tune of "Got four wheels and a running board- - I'm a Ford, a Ford, a Ford". But there is a Beatle connection with two of the songs, number 19 "Going up and down hills" in the key of A major written in the fall of 1959. The link here is to the harpsichord part in "Piggies" except that with them the left hand was sped up and the right hand slowed down. The other song is comonly just known as "Number 26" written in September of 1961 in the key of F sharp, and the link here is to the "Ballod of John and Yoco". My piano teacher commented on this composition saying "- - too many notes". But you know people said that Paul appeared to need a companion to bounce and play musical ideas off of. I noticed this quality on John's "Lennon" album, but the first album of Paul's I thought "could have been done better" was "Flaming Pie". I had a lot of ideas about how to improve this album. The other album where I thought compositions needed improving was "Chaos & Creation in the Back Yard". You know- - certain lead guitar parts added and a few key chords added to the progressions. Someone said that "Ram" was Mc Cartney's best post break-up album. Back in the 'seventies I myself regarded "Venus and Mars" as Paul's best album, because at the time I regarded it as the most Beatleish. I guess you have noticed the structural similarity of "Rock Show" to "Wheels of Confusion", by Black Sabbath.

National Unemployment Goes Double Digit

The new jobless figures are out and unemployment stands now at 10.2% of the population, so it can be said the darkest forecasts have come to pass. This is despite happy talk a few days ago about unemployment claims being down. Perhaps people's unemployment has run out and they've given up trying to get more. In this case Obama's actions should be heartening in that he extended the 26 week limit on unemployment compensation. The stock market has not done what I thought it would be doing now, when I made my "buy" recomendation a few weeks ago. But I'm still giving the same advice, which is to buy on the dips and be thankful the market is not at twelve thousand by now. As I have said, if 1982 is any model, this economy won't even begin to get out of the slump it's in untill the Dow Jones Industrials are making new all-time highs, and that leaves a ceiling of over four hundred points to shoot for by way of financial gains. Those in Gold futures should stay right where they are because, as the announcer says "The future of the dollar is very uncertain" and it's always nice to have a little insurance. Every investor should have a little something put away in gold futures, just in case the worst happens. But what this means is that we need to encourage economic reform legeslation, like Senator Bernie Sanders proposed today of reorganizing and breaking up the major banks. We must remember that the government is really the people. The constitution preamble, after all, begins with the words "We the People". When charges are filed against a criminal in superior court, it isn't "Orange County verses Rodreguez" or whoever but "The People verses Rodreguez". It is the people who are the litigents in both cases against individual felons, and also against giant corporations when they violate public interest. Given this awareness that it's We the People who are acting- - what Ronald Reagan says about those nine most dreaded words is nonsensical. He says you should most fear the words "I'm from the government and I'm here to help". Now I will agree with the axion of "A government with the power to grant you everything you need also had the power to take from you everything you have". But - as a moralist, a liberal moralist, my belief is that we need to restore capitalism's work ethic and that people who MAKE something and work all day with their hands, ought not to pay more income tax than those who don't, who sit by the swimming pool waiting for the dividend check to roll in. The idea of self sufficiency is a value that I charish and that we should charish both individually, and as a nation, as far as our productivity is concerned. Pat Buchannon "gets it". Ross Perot "gets it". Thom Hartman "gets it". But the Bushys and the Clintonites don't get it. What they envision as some economic eutopia is not my America. And it isn't a vision of America that you should defend or fight for.

We've all heard about the Ft. Hood shootings where thirteen people were killed and thirty others were wounded. The shooter was a Moslem who shouted out "God is great" when he did the act. He was a psychiatrist and underscores the truth that psychiatrists have among the highest suicide rates of any profession. This guy was unhappy and got bad job reviews, but somehow he was promoted to Major last May. The warning signs were there but they were ignored. As you know Eric Harris of Columbine shooting fame, was taking Zoloft, and the drug was in his system when he died. I've heard about the danger of seretonin uptake inhibitors for twenty years, that these drugs caused either uncharacteristic violence, or suicide. People should think twice about the semi divine aura we ascribe to the psycho-therapy profession. Many doctors, like the late Sydney J Adler, believe pills are the solution to everything and that it all stems from a "chemical imballance in the brain". You probably have read enough of my writings to know I don't believe this on the whole, but that the human Soul is far more complex.

This is kind of my "neener - neener!" paragraph. Fred Price's wife developed cancer of the hip or something and for a period of time Fred Price was regularly chiding his congragations in his sermons "I know you you people don't go to the doctor. It isn't because you have faith Jesus will heal you, you're just afraid to go to the doctor for fear of what he might tell you". Well, he might tell you that you have cancer. But do you really? New research has suggested that Cancer is not quite what we predicted, ie. that it is progressive and irreversable. Instead the presence of cancer cells indicates the state of health in the body, much as it does in the economy, and that a healthy body knows how to repulse cancer cells and destroy them. In this country our early cancer diagnosis rate has never been better. Yet our mortality rates from cancer are not going down. There seems to be an epidemic of over-diagnosis and over-treatment, not to mention over-worrying. Fred Price forgot to add worry into this equation. Before Halloween of 1997 it was a long, long, time that I had gone without seeing a doctor of any kind, save for dentists and eye doctors. Going so long a period without seeing a doctor didn't kill me, did it? I'm still here. I do believe in sending a little supplication prayer up to God now and then to let Him know that I'm here and thinking about Him.

We are going to meditate on the truth about "Circles". Last time I told you about the births and deaths of universes. And have you noticed that Universes are spherical. I'm not sure all of them are but let's go with the egg shell view for now. Circles are posessive things. They see themselves as complete. They are willing to bend time and space to their will to make themselves seem infinite. Given leave, a circle will go on forever. The limited has become limitless for the time being, and the time being is never ending and circular. This would seem to imply that time itself is circular and repeats itself, as the Hindus claim. Atoms are circular. You penetrate their spherical shells go go for the golden nuggets within, and the atom reacts violently and starts a chain reaction of all its buddies. Universes are formed when a circle of time and space is drawn around itself. The Universe has no need for anything outside itself, and neither has it any place for it. And yet expansion that is inevitable in itself, eventually results in the death of the universe, as it eventually lacks enough cohesive ether binding force to hold itself together. As such a Universe is born of great violence and dies of great violence. (Selah)

And now I'd like to get into the real of Eight Golden Truths. Just by way of review, can you people tell me - - pay attention, class- - can you tell me what three dimensional geometric figure that's symmetrical- - - has eight sides? I'll give you a little hint. All of the faces are triangular, yet when you cut the figure in half in any direction, what you have is perfect square surfaces. And here is the kicker - - all of the cardinal points touch the surface of a perfect sphere. What I'm going to do is give you these eight truths now, and develop them, either in the next posting of this blog, or we may jump to "Skeletons from the Closet" and you'll have to read it there. I haven't decided yet. These truths are kind of a Roreshock test in that, like Dylan lyrics, your mind might interperet the sayings differently, than I will subsequently develop them.

Experiance is the mortal enemy of "Pure religion". Reality is the mortal enemy of dogmatic false belief that prides itself on not needing anything to justify itself. Anything that needs nothing real to justify itself, has no real "right to exist". I welcome experiance - and if it is an experiance with God - this is for the better. Behold, even a Bad "something" is better than a perfect "Nothing". A Christian who needs nothing to justify his existance most likely HAS nothing to justify his existance. Reality is the mortal enemy of the unreal, and Christian theology is unreal. Some say that they have had a bad experiance with God. But people learn from experiance. Would you have fate take back the experiance from having ever happened, only to have the individual go on in perfect bliss ignorance, till the time comes when he has to have the experiance Again? (Selah)

Circles are posessive things; violate them at your Peril

Sometimes, things are exactly as they appear to Be - even First Impressions

When all else fails, look at the computer program text

You have a billion here and a billion there and pretty soon, you're talking about Real Money!

In the long run scheme of things - Adam Smith must be satisfied

An entity too big to fail is too big to exist. This also holds for true for Religion, as well as Corporations.

A God with the power to give you everything you need, has the power to take from you everything you have.

Experience is the enemy of Ignorance, Superstition, and even Bigotry

Election Results Are A Mixed Bag

I did not watch any conservative broadcasts today. I imagine there was great jubilation at the victories of the Republicans in both the Virginia and New Jersey contests. I guess you could say "See I told you so", since so often my blogs are "ahead of the learning curve" to use yet another Rush-ism. But in upstate New York, the Republican being driven out of the race by the Right Wing ended up ill serving their cause because a Democrat was elected in that New York House district for the first time since Whigs held that office. In Maine they voted to legalize medical marijuana but they did a thumbs down on gay marriage. Someone today said that in the 31 referendums where gay marriage was put up for a popular vote nation wide, the homosexual lobby has lost in all 31 of them. That should send a message to us all if true. Meanwhile in New York Mayor Bloomberg narrowly won a contest where he was expected to win by a landslide considering he out-spent his opponent ten to one, or perhaps more than that. One can draw no overriding trend in yesterday's elections. Being an off year election there was an understandibly lower voter turn-out everywhere as liberals refused to vote, in the case of Virginia not finding much in common with even the democratic candidate.

Thom Hartman has leveled a novel new charge against the biggest corporations. He claims that giant corporations actually SEEK OUT government regulations because they will easily be able to afford all the attorneys they'll have to hire to deal with them, but smaller companies will be driven out of business. It would seem that we have a government of, and by, and for big business. Corporations are granted rights of Freedom of Speech for example, in areas where a government would not even grant them to human beings, such as the right of FOX broadcasting to put out deliberate lies over the air. One person was fired because of this because they were doing a piece on genetic food engeneering, and the network told them to lie outright. When put to a trial by a Jury of his piers, the plaintiff was victorius, but FOX news appealed the case and the appeals court overturned the jury decision. Many say that health care is an inherent right of every American. I did not used to believe this at all and when the Clintons came out with their Health Care program in 1993 I was solidly against it. But one can say that since them I have been "educated". We liberals believe that education is the solution to a whole host of problems. We spend fifty percent more for health care than any other first world country, and we get much less for it. Corporations, as we are reminded, are creatures of the state and created with the express concent of the State. As such they really "owe" something to the State in terms of conforming to the norms of society. And today the Health Care companies don't pass the comon decency and fairness tests. Many I imagine would regard the activity of health insurance companies in this country as nothing short of criminal. I'm thinking of that term "zeitguist" or "spirit of the times". Martin Luther King said that nothing is more powerful than an Idea whose time has Come. I believe health care's time has arrived. Many believe we should not have to wait till 2013 for all these public options to kick in. Conservatives still are laboring under the delusion that the Republicans are going to win big next year, 2010. I see no reason that if the economy continues to gain ground, that the democrats can't be the ones to pick up house and senate seats, shades of 1934 in Roosevelt's second year in office. I don't believe that the average Independant voter out there has really thought out his political positions. He needs to be educated on the relivant issues. The tea baggers are spent. The old saying isn't true - the one about tea bags getting stronger after being emersed in hot water. Show me a tea bag that's been used and I'll show you one that makes a weaker cup of tea. Think about it.

The Christian Right is convinced that President Obama wants to wreck this economy by causing hyper-inflation like the Weimar Republic and after a state of chaos insues, then a Dictator will step forward that will begin buying up, not gold, but land. According to Glen Beck it's all about buying up the land of private investors and polluters such as coal companies. They say that the carbon tax will only both add to this inflation and hasten the destruction of the economy and all private business in this country. Of course many of the same "talking points" are repeated again and again over the internet. You will hear of death pannels and how Obama really wants nation-wide subsedized abortions on an ever widening scale. Some of the more grandiose people will even claim that the government on the lines of Nazi Germany will institute a Eugenics program to abort, blacks, kill the infirm, and sterilize the genetically defective. Some even envision that stem cell research will lead to an all new cloned Super-race. How do you go about dismanteling this string of frightful and hysterical beliefs? I don't know if some Christians will ever listen to the Truth. Their own self-generated thought-viruses are too strong. Of course many watching the movie "V" will assume that these liberals aren't even quite human but might be space aliens in desguise with lizzard skin and a human veneer. I'm as patriotic as the next guy and if I thought that any of this was true I'd be the first to enlist in the Right's cause.

Burt Lombard alias Mick Ronson had this view of the Christmas tree ornament view of the Universe. In another illustration Burt said that the Universe was like an air bubble floating in a bottle of Prell shampoo and that "out beyond" is the Sea of Green. I would like to tie in a few things together at this time, only the secret behind the births and deaths of Universes, generalized plural. Let me go back to something else you people may be wondering about, though, about "The Decider" of what is the Soul and can it be measured. Some may say "Did you know that they now have demonstrated that the brain physically changes once it has made a Decision and Intends to do a specific act, be it go see a prostitute or whatever." The brain responds to visual impulses before the Decision is made, and the brain also responds AFTER the decision is made so that we onlookers can "detect the new intent" in views of the brain. But still there is that THING that MAKES the decision. We've never managed to isolate that, and that is what I am talking about. A computer will "Do whatever it's told to do". But you can't use that kind of flow-chart model for a human being, or a higher animal. Some of you others wonder about this notion of "time going flat" as if Time itself could vary in thickness of depth, like a snow bank being much higher in some areas than in others. Well, think of the camera and optical term of "Depth of focus" only think of it in reverse. That is, with a telephoto lenz there is a small "depth of focus". But let's reverse that and call this DEEP time. Whereas with a concave lenz what we would have is what I would call shallow focus in that you see everything clearly at once. You see the near and you see the far. Those in the telescope realm are what you would call living in DEEP time. They can only relate to people in the same "time zone" much as a telescope or telephoto lenz can only focus on areas at one time that are the same distance, with a small tollerance. Having said all that let me confuse you a bit more by saying that ANY hyper-light existance may preclude ANY mass or gravity as we know it. Remember that where relativity is concerned, Gravity is time, or we might say the Depth of Time. Hence ANY hyper-light travel may preclude ANY resemblance to our time and space. As Astronomy Cafe reminds us, to outrun light is to outrun gravity, where there is no time-gravity coerrifient, thre is no time. OK now let us get back to the birth of Universes. I am allured by the idea that the creation of a Black Hole is the creation of a new Universe - with its own dimensions. But now - how does matter in this new Universe arrange itself? As a clump denser in the center? Think of the Igloos the Escamoes build. They are as it were shells of fitted ice chunks. They are held together by a "dynamic tension" of gravity pushing the blocks together and the friction of the blocks, which equalizes this pressure. Chuck Smith speaks of a universal "repulsive force" because of the structure of the atom where "an atom shouldn't stay together". This "repulsive force" would tend to repel matter away from the Center. But as in the case of the rings of the outer planets, gravitational attraction tends to generate perfectly concentric, circular rings. Is a picture emerging. You have such as you would have in a thin shell like a Christmas tree ornament. Now some may ask "Well, if space is in a Circle or sphere, cant you make a Decision just to go in the outward direction and escape the shell". The answer is "No" because Einstein says that if light can't escape a black hole or a Universe, then YOU cant escape it. Time and distance will play tricks with you and you will be no closser to your goal than you started. As I have said, it's possible that wherever you are, you think you're at the Center because there is always "more space out there" however warped and curved. But this theory has a kicker. Suppose you should migrate to the center of this "shell". What then? This is what you would call the Eye of the Universe which would opperate as a de-facto worm hole in that travel in real space-time would be greately accelerated. The Orion Federation has spoken of terriestrial (our universe as we know it) and telestial- - or hyper light speed. But the Federation has also stated that there is a "celestial" existance. Could this third state be where you escape the shell entirely? Also there would be a way by which you could prove circularity, and that is if you passed the same object over and over again, as in a Star Trek episode like "Null Space"

Living in a World of Minutia Obsession

This is Tuesday November 3, 2009 and this morning what happens when I don’t smoke for extended periods becomes evident. I become a little O C D, that is, I obsess and worry about aimless things either possibly missing items or things I have left undone. I shouldn't be bothered about that missing crucifix that Gary gave me the summer before last, after all, I'm not Catholic. This morning it was tough sledding to get cigarettes. Tuesday mornings are the worst time to borrow because everybody is out. After being turned down by numerous people finally John let me have a few puffs on his cigarette that he got from Janet. It was a good brand with a high nicotine content. The TV was working good this morning with KTTV on. I went out again and Nancy let me have about ¾ of a cigarette she was smoking, that I paid my last seventeen cents for.

In the news people are obsessing over these three elections they are having today. It looks as if the democrats will lose all three of them, and if they do I say it’s irrelevant. There is one in way upstate New York where the Republican running dropped out of the race, Afghanistan style, in favor of the whacko Conservative candidate, who will win now. The Republican endorsed the democrat. Then there are the governorships of Virginia and New Jersey, which both appear likely to fall into Republican hands. This in the big scheme of things means little. Of course you know I wish the Obama administration didn’t arm people like Glen Beck with so much amo such as - -essentially doing what Republicans do best. They appeal to “The Big Picture”. They are always talking about five year plans and fifteen year plans. A democratic candidate might ask a man or woman on the street the price of a bagel and coffee and gauge the economy that way. Democrats are more micro, and “people oriented”. People like Larry Summers and Timothy Geitner are more given to grandiose abstractions. But in LA county the next unemployment statistics will be higher, as more corporations plan to drop employees. And that’s what people really care about.

For the fourth day in a row we had that lousy brand of oatmeal. Our remedy for having pancakes seldomly, which was our policy before last week, now that situation has been remedied. We no longer have pancakes at all. We had a fried egg and toast with grape jelly already on it, and we did have sausage. It’s always good to get more meat in our diets. Marsha gave me a cigarette to smoke after breakfast.

Hamid Karzai is the defacto winner of the Afghanistan run off election because the other guy withdrew from the November 7^th election. You wonder whether the CIA used muscle power to intimidate him out of going through with the campaign. I guess you better not say you want something unless you mean it. Because now President Obama has comitted himself to making a decision now on those 40,000 troops. . Randy Rhodes thinks the heroin trade in Afghanistan is affecting our military policy, and she reviewed the facts of Iran Contra. What we need is the moral purity party. Where only candidates who aren't compromised by shady business or financial deals are allowed to run. Perhaps I should join the green party. Last week Hillary criticized the Pakistani leaders for knowing where Al Qaeda people were hiding out, and refusing to tell us. Pat Buchannon threw one of his curve balls from the left saying that we should always take foreign leaders at their word and not state the obvious.

Arab leaders want all Israeli construction on the West Bank stopped before negotiations begin. And I agree with them since they are illegal under any standard. I watched videos on this last night. Also Israel has been evicting Palestinians from their homes on the West Bank, and this isn’t too kosher, if you know what I mean. If President Obama is really the raving Palestinian sympathizer that the Christian Right claims he is - - then - well let's just say Israel would already have had a peace treaty crammed down their throat whether they liked it or not. The United States has the power to make the Israeli nation eat dirt. It's all a question of which we value more, Mideast peace and justice for all, or saving Israel's pride. This whole functional apartite situation with native Palistinians just is not just or fair.

The Orion Federation takes exception to my remarks about the Muhajadeeb last week, or the freedom-fighters of Afghanistan. The fact is that patriots of any country will rise up and defend their homeland be it the USSR or the United States that is invading. The Federation still believes the nation we have to worry about is Iran. The problems we are having with Afghanistan and Pakistan will prove inconsequencial in the long view of things. But with Iran we have a virelent threat that people like Pat Buchannon can't see because his motto is "I never met an anti-semite that I didn't like". Russia may ally itself with Iran in the coming years.

I watched the video of Glen Beck I was going to do a blog on today. Glen does these extended twenty minute comentaries on FOX using the blackboard and other visual aids. Except that Glen is regarded as so nutty that I didn’t want to keep bad company. Glen has the theory that the money supply went up 120% in the past year and back when the money rate was hiked only 13% they had to jack the interest rate to twenty percent to counteract that. So this time they’ll have to jack the interest rates up close to two hundred or triple percent. This would be intolerable. Glen says that the “power” has not yet been applied to the money flow and we’re all just “waiting for that to happen”, which Glen says is certain. My own theory is that the banks and brokerage firms operate as a giant vacuum cleaner more greedy than a black hole, and for this reason we will never have inflation now because as a requisite money has not only to be in circulation, but we pretty much need a full employment economy that can’t take up any slack. 1980 and 1981 were a different case, and things aren’t at all like that now. We don’t have cost, push, or demand, pull, or any other kind of inflation. We don’t have any inflation at all, basically.

Sixty Minutes had a thing on the H1 N1 virus and growing all those chicken eggs to culture the virus, and dress it up in a tux. They say they will kill the virus before use in a vaccine. That Baree syndron people got in 1976 from a Swine Flu vaccine won’t happen again. Basically the H1 N1 vaccine is as safe as any other vaccine you take today. After this was a segment on the Yakasoo or that Japanese mafia organization where people are tattooed all over and have portions of fingers missing as punishments for “making mistakes”. One thing about this evening- - I was very alert the whole evening, if not anxious. My first borrowing of a cigarette was from Joe Drisco about a quarter after six. I did not attempt to have another cigarette the rest of the evening.

Nancy Palosi Rolls Out House Health Bill

Nancy Palosi made a big speech about introduction of a House health bill today that has gotten almost now news play. Talk shows may lead with her speech but in the end we know almost nothing about this House bill except that it’s over one thousand pages long. I’ll look for a summary of it. It contains an unqualified public option and also increases “Medic-aid”. It would cost 900 Billion dollars. But they say it is really revenue positive in that its effect in the long run will be to cut the deficit from what it would otherwise be. I don’t understand that. Hillary’s speech in Pakistan got more air play. We could spend a lot less money if we just help the people rather than bomb them. It’s really hard to bomb an impoverished people into submission. The house health bill was called forward and progressive. Lieberman campaigned on universal health care in the 2006 re-election campaign to bag liberal Democratic votes. But his wife, Hedassa has a membership in all sorts of lobbying groups. Lieberman and Mc Cain seem to be in a heated contests for biggest two-faced phony of all time.

The US economy is out of recession with better than three percent growth in the third quarter, which amazes me, since I had heard that we were narrowly down for that quarter. Instead we are up three percent on an annualized rate. If this rate should continue the recession would be a distant memory by next year 2010, when the congressional elections are held. One would hope the Republicans would sit up and take notice. Formerly they had said that we entered our current recession in December of 2007. This is October 29, 2009 the anniversary of the stock market crash, which would be eighty years ago. Europe has artificial low unemployment because the government fills in the gaps in hours which corporations agree to cut back so that everyone can keep their jobs. Unlike us, who cater to big corporations with massive tax cuts, people on the continent subscribe to the “trickle up” theory. Now Europe is out of their recession even though it was worse there. I don’t think history, and not too distant history, will be kind to this generation the way that we catered to every whim of the richest of corporate interests. They say even now there is an undercurrent to completely revamp all sorts of laws on corporation to make it a whole new ball game. Hartman is sticking to his claim of a double dip recession for the United States. He says that President Obama’s policies still resemble more those of Herbert Hoover rather than Franklin Roosevelt.

People may wonder at this connection between political right wingers and “religion”. Well the old Latin definition of religion is to restrain, to tie back – out of the way, or something you would do with a vine. Of course Jesus spoke of “abiding in the vine”. I say this because those who say religion is liberating are truly speaking in Orwellian terms. It’s just another of so many lies they tell. Some people speak of being bound by a “meme” or unsupported belief. George Bush operated on the “meme” that going to war would give him Political Capital and would save his administration. We still here this meme preached by people like Zell Miller at the 2004 republican convention, who see everything in terms war, and patriotism as being pro war, and infidels as being anti war. I suspect even Democrats such as President Obama have fallen into this meme that “war covereth a multitude of sins”. The “sins” in this case would be his domestic policies. Some say that we wanted war in Afghanistan because some outfit wants to construct an oil pipeline through that country. The only “solution” Joe Byden can come up with for our troop shortfall is to bomb the population of Afghanistan back to the stone age with unmanned drone rockets. Today I learned that the very invasion of Afghanistan by Russia that we all used as a patriotic rallying point in 1979 was in fact an effort by the USSR to restore civil rights in Afghanistan that hat recently been won but ucerped by the Muhajabeeb. (sp) Soon we will have been in Afghanistan longer than the Russians were there. President Obama trapped himself by saying that we were “neglecting” Afghanistan. Again he felt he had to offer the right wing a bone, as something to get their minds off the dreaded Iraq withdrawal. I had heard this notion of “tying up” being linked to the word Religion over 35 years ago but I dismissed the notion till I checked it out for myself today. The words “Religion” and “System of Beliefs” are thus NOT interchangeable expressions. A “belief” can be any meme or notion about anything. Beliefs can be both supportable by science and unsupportable by science. A metaphysical belief is a belief not directly supported by science. Many times the Christian right wing likes to substitute “esoteric” for “metaphysical” to make the practitioners appear more bizarre and “out of the main stream”. But in truth it’s the Christian Right’s own beliefs of “memes” that are out of the main stream. I have been more and more inclined to say that neo-conservatism is one big Religion. It dies together a whole set of discredited beliefs such as living in a constant state of war, and “having a powerful leader” and ANY law that infringes on a corporation is bad, and corruption and graft are OK as long as it’s our side that’s doing it. So they become obstructionist in the extreme and pray nightly for President Obama to fail, and are upset by good economic news, and downright terrified that this recession just might be over in a year or two.

I still sense rumblings of discontent out there about my rather weak follow up to the idea of a psychic dimension. Many will say, “But you didn’t say anything about how the psychic process works, or IF it even works”. Some may say “Why even bother with it. Aren’t there enough exciting things in the world to hold your interest?” Suffice it to say that mankind has always been intrigued by ideas that he can’t prove. It’s our nature. I have an intellectual problem myself with something that links the “other side” (hyperspace) to the here and now. However, ex talk show host Michael Benner says things can be real and exist but still be inherently scientifically unmeasurable. Of course let me say again that - - not to misuse any analogy but to give you some kind of comparison - - hyperbolic space is as different from this space as regular trig is from hyperbolic trigonometry. Of course those who invoke the ether as a medium of “transmission” of psychic impulses and information would be at odds with my metaphysical view of the Universe. Many even in the Christian realm such as Fredrick Price, speak of “being tuned in on the right frequency”. Well, this may sound really trite but we scientists haven’t got the vaguest idea of what Consciousness is, in terms of manifestation in the physical realm. It’s something physicians deduce the existence of. They say “this patient should be coming around soon”. They do mental tests of measure cognition. Psychologists tell us that personalities as they study them are really “sets of ideas” or notions, that as it were, are ruled by the same consciousness. It’s as if the individual ideas hold a vote and determine “who is going to own them”. To explain the physical process better, let us move to an internet analogy. Nothing can get through on the internet unless it gets past the fire wall and the “thought” or information has “permission” to enter through a certain port number. Certain people mentally “get” other people, and others they just “don’t get”. It could be that psychic communication is very much like this, keeping in mind that the computer represents the brains of physical people on earth and within those brains there is software which “connects you to the hyper-light (or hyperbolic as I referred to it) dimension that links physical substance to itself. If the computer is your physical brain, the software of the computer is the device- - that unlike actual computer software is completely stealth and undetectable and I doubt it’s even measurable by magnetism- - the software is the soul- - -that I must emphasize- - is stealth and completely unmeasurable by scientists. Having said all this the only other question is “How do you know an idea you may or may not even agree with is FROM some dead person, rather than your own “meme” or beliefs? Because the idea is tagged like an dog tag and the tag says “John Lennon is my owner” or whatever. This is how I think it just might work. If I come up with a clearer explanation I’ll pass it along.

Harry Reed Backs Compromised Public Option

Senator Harry Reed of Nevada yesterday finally got off the dime and decided which version of a health bill that he is going to get behind and push. Harry Reed is of course the abortionist Mormon and these contradictions always amuse me. Around here we have professing Mormons who regularly drink coffee and use tobacco. There was a girl named Leslie who was Mormon, who "compromised my morals" for the first time, and she had had an abortion. And then you have Tammy Bruce who is a drug hating, ghetto phobiac, pistol packing lesbian. As you may know Tammy Bruce became ardently pro war and began attacking the very people she had formerly "been in bed with" so to speak. She came out against extending the LA subway system to the San Fernando Valley because she feared that hordes of Black people would use the trains to migrate to the Valley and bring their ghettoized ways and crime with them. Anyhow when I first learned about it I wasn't exactly pleased. Because Harry Reed wants states to have the right to "opt out" of the public option plan. I'm sure red states all fantasize about doing things like that. It's all Sarah Palin could do to avoid announcing Alaska secession from the Union once she lost the election. To me this option out of states option was somehow "un American" and I thought unprecedented. The whole thing about states having "Monopoly rights" in regulating insurance companies is something I don't relate to. Today I was a bit more encourages in that people said that the free market (lets hear it for the Free Market!) forces would dictate that no state could opt out because they would look at their neighbors and the people would rise up and revolt against their leaders. (The way people in Iraq DIDN'T do in 1991) But Lyndon Johnson found out in dealing with Ho Chi Min that sometimes the carrot and the stick principle just doesn't work with alien cultures, in this case, the Red states. You've heard of this or that governor saying that they were going to "Stand on Principle" and refuse money from the stimulus program of the Obama administration - and the people be damned, even though they are the ones who suffer and not the governor. This is not unusual behavior for a Christian to impose their own personal anally fixated principles on others, who are adversely affected. Also Senator Reed was not optimistic about the bill's prospects even with this major compromise with the Devil. Today Joseph Lieberman came out and said he would vote to fillibuster this bill because he's afraid of how his beloved insurance companies would suffer. People keep saying that any public option is "a foot in the door" and eventually it's designed to drive all private health care providers out of business. Well, one can always hope- - - .

Tonight Michael Jackson’s movie premiers. Joe Jackson expressed reservations about the film saying it doesn’t represent Jackson at his best. It was Sunday night I watched a big chuck of the “ghost” video. The whole thing runs 37 minutes or something, or longer than I wanted to take. Of course the movie "Paranormal activity" only costs $15,000 to make and so far has earned 62 million or something. This tells me that people out there have a tremendous thirst for the supernatural. The previous such very low budget movie to make it really big was the Blair Witch Project ten years ago. The LA Lakers are also having their champion ring presentations tonight at Staples. They say the rings get bigger and gaudier every year. This is the fifteenth Lakers championship. This is sure starting the season off early, before the World Series has begun or Daylight Savings Time is ended.

I would like to bring you people up to speed on some personal matters now. Yesterday I had a tooth pulled. It's that 30 year old gold crown I was telling you about that was too badly decayed. Three dentists said so. But now my esteemed sister in law is calling up here about another matter and that is the fungus on my finger nails on my right hand and also on my toe nails. Guess what. They don't cover anti fungal products any more. I need to "save up" out of my mere weekly pittance, in order to be able to afford to see the foot doctor for $20.00. I would imagine the stimulus check would more than cover any costs. For this stimulus check I would actually like to be able to use it for "discretionary spending" like go out to a show, and perhaps even go out on a date, or perhaps to buy some impulse item that strikes my fancy.

Some of you are thinking I should clarify more about the Sixth Dimension. First of all, in my current six dimensional theory, just the three are true, descrete, spacial dimensions. Time is a dimension. "Unreality" is a dimension. This is the theory that goes "Anything that CAN happen will happen and HAS happened, somewhere in the fifth dimension as a result of the big bang. You've heard about the Analog loophole. Well some may point to a "fifth dimensional" psychic revelation loophole by which one could claim with metaphysical certitude that their specific psychic revelations will come to pass, if not in This universe then in SOME universe. But also you people are wondering about the idea of thoughts. Are thoughts "things" with a seeming perceived reality that can be witnessed by all in the sixth dimension? The Greeks taught that ideas about things were more REAL than the Thing itself. Their logic here seems flawed to me, but I'm not entirely discounting it. People have their theories about thoughts having "energy" and "manifesting" after a person dies. They say in areas of emotional trauma there are many "Lost Spirits". A much more obvious explanation for this is of course the PEOPLE observing these phenomina are the ones with unresolved problems. Just for laughs, lets assume such manifestations are possible, after all it is Halloween in a few days. Many times you see poulterguists that have all these fluxing wavy lines in a shape like some ectoplasum. Are these lines like energy forces flowing? Is this perhaps energy that exceeds the speed of light but lives in what I'd call the hyperbolic realm just beyond the speed of light? Hyperbolic of course means "over thrown" as in an asteroid that just missed being captured by a planet. First of all to clarify ANYTHING exceeding the speed of light can't be made of ANY of the corperial matter studied by scientists. Secondly one can think of "hyper space" as thus a "different kind of space" because it hosts a different kind of atomic structure. Hyperbolic trig functions have no seeming connection with hyperbolic space. One might ask, "How would you be able to see such hyperbolic energy?" Perhaps the reason why you don't see ghosts and such every day is because there have to be just the right weather conditions or some kind of metaphysical conditions for visability to manifest. Perhaps, as I said in the previous posting - - this "Localization" is not the normal state - - and perhaps people like Sylvia Browne are right when they refer to "earth bound spirits". We at the Federation call them "terrestrial spirits" meaning they occupy physical space. Those usual inhebitants of the Sixth Dimension are of course called "tellestial spirits" by the Federation.

A New Revealing Look at the Sixth Dimension

The Steelers are going to put an end to the Viking’s six and 0 sinning streak. You have to watch those interceptions. It’s the Viking’s first loss of the season.

Today I want to talk about how real, relivent events are dealt with in the main stream media. I continue to be distressed that shows like “Meet the Press” regard the cut in pay of executive salaries imposed by the Obama administration as “punishment” and worse yet “self defeating”. They are calling it a way to placate the populist sentiment. You know my position. Then there is the matter of these drone flights in Afghanistan that are killing civilians. Apparently in the past the US has criticized Isrial for doing the same thing. Our moral position is losing ground. Joseph Byden is just plain wrong on this issue. But worse yet, if the flights are in Pakistan, with whom we are austensively on friendly relations with this isn’t good. As it was pointed out as of now Iran has zero nuclear bombs, and Pakistan has sixty bombs and if the Talliban is making progress there this is a definite area for concern. There was a guy on the internet last night from the symposium of “Accuracy in the Media” where they said “Even the polling data the media puts out is deceptive. I talked about a 57% popular support for the Public Option. Now that figure is apparently 61%. But they word the question in saying “Do you support the public option if it increases competition?” These conservatives say “The question rather should be – Do you want the Public Option even if it puts your insurance company out of business?” Let’s look at these questions in another way so you can understand it better. Would it be wrong to ask a community “Do you want another supermarket in town if it will increase competition?” Obviously that’s a given. You don’t have to wonder about that. If you were to ask “Do you want a second supermarket in town even if it put the first market out of business?” Some markets make their living gauging ghetto residents for healthy fruits and vegetables thus forcing Black people to just by junk food and Ripple”. (Or do I sound like a do-gooder liberal now) My point is no matter how you phrase the question- - the answer is going to most likely be a pretty accurate portrayal of reality. The American people know what they want in the way of health care, and they know what they don’t want. And they don’t want the status quo.

Then there is the issue of President Obama verses Fox News. Some would say that since the President has “gone out on the attack” against Fox, Fox’s ratings have shot way up, as have Rush Limbaugh’s. Some might even cite me Martin Luther King or Ghandi in “Not responding in kind but by being non violent” metaphorically. Some may even quote that passage from the Ron Hubbard tape I have where he says “If you are headed in a fire engine to put out a fire, it would be absurd to stop and address the dogs who are nipping at your wheels”. Suppose we change that example a little? Suppose instead that it’s putting these spike strips in the roads like police use to stop felons. What do you think about it now? Huh? You know- in “Charriots of Fire” there was a line that Abrams spoke where he said to the Olympic officials, “You want us to do a job well, but you seem to envision it as a task done with the effortlessness of the Gods, and not as the result of a lot of blood, and toil, and sweat”. It’s no disgrace to respond to a problem when there IS a problem that needs to be handled. This is common sense. It makes no sense to let the enemy have a free shot at you without shooting back. If he sees you are shooting back, he might think twice about continuing the conflict. So it is with President Obama and the Fox network. That Tavis Smiley guy on Meet the Press was the only guy with his brain plugged into Reality. And he said that Obama like a lot of people is lazy and does only what he has to and the American People have to be persistent and make the President do the right thing on Health Care, and “I know the President is up to it”.

In a five or six period of listening one can witness Jesus of KFI screwing up multiple times. Today he answered a caller complaining "How come God stoops to petty wagering with Satan over the lives of Job and his children, and sacrifices the lives of Job's children to prove some theological point?" Jesus said "It isn't a matter of God in a petty bet with Satan" but then said nothing to support that statement. Jesus said much as he did about those heroic fire fighters who died in 9 - 11 that "Maybe they were child molesters or something and needed judgement. You don't know". Now Jesus is saying "How do you know Job's children were not evil?" If Jesus would read the book he would find out. Job said to himself, "Perhaps my children have sinned." So Job offered an atoning blood animal sacrifice for them. As to this notion that the story is about winning some "Faith battle" let's just review some of the things Job said in his torment. He cursed the day he was born and said may the date be blotted out from history". May I suggest that is a caller to Jesus' show had said something like this, he'd be criticized for undo gloominess. Furthermore, if a person has gone through some health crisis such as surviving cancer or a heart attack, he is the weaker for the experiance and not stronger. Finally we have this notion introduced where Jesus says "God wanted to show us that this present life - this present world is not important". I urge you Bible readers to come up with any verse that says either "This life is not important" or "this world is not relivant" or "Your life here is not relivent" or any such verse. I suggest if you think you know where such a passage is, you go take another look. In the parable of the sower, Jesus says that what transpires "in the field" so to speak, is very relivent.

It was August when Dr. Levy promised the class that he would have a “Hanza” or “Hantza” for anyone who wanted one. This is sort of a Mideast charm that’s a hand with an eye in the middle to – ward off the Evil Eye and other evil spirits. I said I wanted one of those. Of course on that Simpson’s episode when they were in Morocco, Homer bought one of these monkey’s paw charm things that granted unlimited wishes and which Flanders eventually used to free Springfield of space aliens. I really don’t know if there is any connection, or whether the Simpson’s thing was completely made up.

I want to talk to you today about a subject that I’ve alluded to many times but never explained, and that is the possible nature of the Sixth or Psychic dimension. First of all a “dimension” differs from an “aspect”. An aspect is merely another perspective or angle of the same event. A dimension such as a computer array dimension, is a whole other field or range of knowledge previously unavailable. First of all we perceive everything in three dimensions, just as color blind people perceive everything in black and white. But this is not to preclude that some material we regard as three dimensional may have other dimensions of existence also, that we can have no knowledge of, no matter how much we tinker with our electron microscopes. I would at this time like to clear up a popular confusion between “hyper-space” and negative space. Some say that in order to exceed the speed of Light you’d have to bring in “negative space”. The answer is “No, not the way I think you mean it”. First of all if there is negative space it has to be occupied by negative mass because the nature of mass determines the nature of the space around it. You’ve heard this writer say that many times. My point however is that if there is a “negative universe” out there- - it is bound by the same blanket prohibition of exceeding the speed of light that we are in our universe. All of the math would be the same. Some may have trouble believing that we cant EVER exceed the speed of light “no matter hard we try”. Well, get used to it. Not with our current caporial matter. Do you remember what happens if somehow that should happen? Let me remind you. Mass and time would go negative. Mass and time always work together as a unit and one can’t go negative without the other. One could if one likes, envision a tangent spike wave that shoots up and then reappears way down. Mass and time are linked- - and this is using ordinary Newtonian logic, or “The Smallville principle”. Space of course would also mathematically go negative. This means that an object would double right back on itself and appear where it has been, at the time it was there to begin with. As such any hyper-light activity would be both undetectable and impossible.

But suppose there was a world where “things were different” than they are in this universe. If you were to travel faster than light, it is logical to think you would travel a lot faster, about as close to Infinitely fast as you can get. In such a world, a psychic world, travel over great distances would be instantaneous, faster than the telephone for transporting messages, or people. Indeed travel at the speed of light would be the slowest conceivable thing in this Universe. But you may ask what this means. Well, “travel” as we know it would mean something rather “different” in this world. In that world it would mean that Time comes into existence as a strange kind of novelty. It would mean for the first time an object could NOT BE a certain place. This notion of NOT being- - would be a strange and novel one to these people. It would take TIME to get some place where formerly you were NOT and NOT be where you were. As such approaching the speed of light would be a Localization phenomenon. But some may say “Then everything is a single line of transverse time?” and they might say “It is a frozen instant, then”. Here is what I believe happens. I believes time “flattens out” and becomes Zero dimensional. What this means is that people in the psychic realm have no facility to perceive the passage of time as we think of it because they never have to WAIT for anything. If the notion of “time flattening out” seems peculiar, let’s go back to our green golf course grid model of the gravitational Universe. Just to remind you that horizontal represents actual space and the Surface of the green represents “perceived” space, and the vertical dimension represents both gravity and - - not Time- - but the Speed of Passage trough Time. In a deep hole you move more swiftly through time by an increasing factor. The factor where the surface is the flattest is “One”. But this number may be reduced further I believe. It’s the natural viscosity of the Ether that fills empty space that gives this gravitational factor of one. If you reduce the viscosity you reduce the gravity. One might almost envision a layer of green fog lying over our golf course “One” unit high. In the psychic world certain things naturally ARE and other things naturally AREN’T. It’s just that they Stay that way - - all the - time. This pattern of ARE verses AREN’T is dictated by the vector of the fifth dimensional vector of the explosion from the Big Bang. In a previous posting I speculated that the Soul may be capable of fifth dimensional travel, but that is not our topic today. If there is Change in the Federation, it’s due to Travel because Travel is something we do through space but it’s something They do- - so that they are physically able to perceive the passage of time. Otherwise the psychic realm contains Constants. Everything is a constant and it doesn’t matter whether it’s way in the past or way in the future, it’s all accessable and readable. This is what the Federation may be referring to as “The true psychic realm” where falsehood and temporal errors do not occur. (Selah)

Mc Cain Intruduces Troubling Internet Bill

A lot of us used to think that John Mc Cain was one of the good guys, in that he was for basic fairness. But yesterday Senator Mc Cain introduced the "Internet Freedom Act". What this bill does is to put a stop to the FCC mandating "Net Neutrality" on the internet. New neutrality is where everybody has equal access. What John Mc Cain wants to do is give conservatives or people willing to pay more, a distinct advantage in that their web pages load faster and don't crash as often as those who don't pay this special fee. So if you load a page from the right wing it loads a lot more quickly on your computer so you will be more likely to read it than you would a liberal page by a small outfit. Thom Hartman and others have complained that liberal talk programs are broadcast on small, weak stations where conservatives get the 50,000 watt power houses, so that more people hear them. And "being heard" is key to the ratings game. In other news Windows 7 came out Thursday and Apple already has their commercials accusing Microsoft of making empty promises about Windows 7 and how it won't have the problems of previous releases. Of course this add ignores the fact that people are using XP now and have been perfectly happy with that. They say Apple charges such high prices because they have good service follow-up. But you pay a high price for something you may never need.

President Obama is under fire by the main stream media dominated by Corporate sources for what he did Wednesday in mandating that ECO's and other high paid executives take a drastic cut to $200,000 a year in their salaries. The media protests that "If they are going to get the talent they need they are going to have to pay top dollar, or else these executives will just look elsewhere for a job. Well, there is such a thing as doing something because it's right and fair, and if these corporations are going to live on government subsidies, then the government has an inherent right to determine their salaries. Since obviously these executives now owe their very existance to the government. Back when Ronald Reagan was President he fired the air traffic controlers because they wanted to strike. Government workers should not have the right, and in this case, did not have the right to go on strike. As Ken Galliger of KFI puts it, "These people have such cushy jobs already in return they should agree not to strike". There is such a thing as standing on principles, and those who say "people will suffer" are just evading the issue. In the case of the air traffic controlers, the planes flew just fine with the free market determining who got employment. And these high paid CEO's are the farthest thing from "indespensable", as their track record proves. They did absolutely nothing to merit their high salaries.

. I was thinking of blogging on the subject of “mendacity” or lying, and thought of using the “Passage” file written in the summer of 1996 featuring Bill Gunderson, as an example of a file with a notable "mendacity" factor. This file covered a pariod of my life around 1986 This was going to be the opus magnum of this posting. But like the Doors with the "Waiting for the Sun" album when they axed "Celebration of the Lizzard", I'd decided to hold off on this "passage". There are are things I don't want put on the record even if I do a caviat that a lot of the narritive is bogus. Sometimes even lies contain hidden truths, which is better than Christian writings, which contain lies, packaged within other lies. For instance- - a lot of you might like to see a segment of my life from June of 1985 through to September 1986 because this is a period in my life I never talk about. Of course in the book of Luke there is a segment about when Jesus was twelve years old. Interestingly this segment ends with the words "And Jesus went home and was subject to his parents, and he continued to grow in favor with God and man". So that Luke would prefer that you believed Jesus grew up in a "Leave it to Beaver" existance, being raised in a nurturing and supportive family.

A flight from San Diego to Mianiapolis overshot its mark and the plane ended up in Wisconsin. Pilots were out of radio contact with any tower for an hour and twenty minutes. People accused them of both falling asleep but they say they just got in a heeded argument and weren’t watching the flashing warning signs. The flight recorder only got the last thirty minutes of the flight after they turned around. The passengers didn’t know what was going on but on the ground they were scanning passenger list for “Don’t Fly” warnings believing that the plane must have been hijacked, and they compelled the pilots to perform various maneuvers to show they were in control.

On George Washington’s blog they had a tape that said not to be in any cash instruments such as treasury bills or government bonds. However he says Ben Vernanke has announced that he’s going to crank up the printing presses such as to inflate the dollar into oblivion. This in my opinion is the last thing we citizens have to worry about. I think the major danger remains a deflationary cycle, and as you know the inflation rate for the year is still officially zero. I do not think you should be in energy comodities now including oil, because we aren't coming out of this recession in any major way any time soon. You should buy comon stocks because the prices of these ignores reality in the world the rest of us have to live in. You should always have some money in precious metals. I agree that the last thing you want to be in is T bills and bonds right now.

There is a limit of fifteen percent for credit card companies to charge customers that’s going into effect next February so they are trying to jack people’s rates up now, often by faborication reasons and violations to justify their actions. Of course with both credit card companies and health insurance, they are most certainly going to fabricate any sort of technical "violation" they can come up with and in both these instances, there comes a point where abuses become intollerable. With zero percent inflation- - paying eighteen percent is just criminal. And of course as more people abandon credit cards, the economy will grow just that much slower.
