The American government no longer needs to slaughter union demonstrators or assassinate elected liberal officials or resort to the type of murderous terrorism it inflicts on probably most other countries on the planet (e.g., the history of our "government" in Latin and South America alone is horror iRead full post »

How many of you can still remember the "idealistic promises" of this contemptible clown?  Not many I bet.

 

We can't even say suckered again, because most of us already knew he was a bought and paid for political stooge.  If there had been even 10% of the/Read full post »

The Simultaneous Whales

The Simultaneous Whales

 

**********************************************************************

How odd that we forget the simultaneous whales.

 

Right now, this instant there's 3 or 4 specific whales in the North Atlantic who/which are 100% alive, 100% conscious, and 100% simultaneouRead full post »

(1.) Explanation one:  The social matrix of the world we're born into is fundamentally a host for The Beast (mentally ill religious fanatics, astronomically rich parasites, and the KKKesque, psychotic right wing of every country on the planet).  This is clearly a victim explanation, much li/… Read full post »

This guy just can't be real, with his glasses sliding down his nose like some pretentious political sage of the 21st Century.

 

And then the talk.  Are we EVER going to return our country to pre Ronald Reagan, when people talked about "issues"?  Reagan smirked his way to/Read full post »

Karl Sagan, author and astrophysicist from Cornell, used to wonder if atomic weaponry would be the nemesis of most "advanced species".

 

A flight of fancy of sorts since whales and elephants are certainly advanced species but don't feel the need for technology (and should we patronize themRead full post »

The 6,000 number may be a trifle arbitrary, but when you consider the geologic blink of human history (the dinosaurs had the Earth for around 150 MILLION years!), Homo sapien prehistory begins a bare three or four thousand years before.

 

In other words, the "Have's" have owned theRead full post »

It's impossible to move heavy objects with a lever if you don't have the fulcrum in the right place.

Similarly, you are defenseless against an enemy that’s forever hidden.

Ironically, the eight Bush/fascist horror show years taught us the following five now unhidden truths.

The United States and humanity in general are now at several ultimate crossroads.

 

Evil now dominates the Earth in the form of Paris Hilton's, Paul McCartney, the entire Rothschild family of vampires, etc. (i.e., astronomically rich individuals -- elites) and certifiably insane religious faRead full post »

Alfred Russel Wallace was a younger contemporary of Charles Darwin. However, more to the point he also discovered the concept of "how" species became modified.

What Darwin called "natural selection", Wallace called "the struggle for existence", but whatever the name, it had to do with the survival of… Read full post »

A thoughtful article in the 4/09 issue of Smithsonian written by William Ecenbarger (a former contributing editor of Reader’s Digest) includes statements like, "Two hundred economists petitioned Congress not to pass the $700 billion bank bailout plan in order to preserve some balance between ri… Read full post »

According to "The Chronicle of Higher Education" survey for the 2003-4 academic year, Donald E. Ross, from Lynn University, a two year liberal-arts college for women in Boca Raton Florida, approaches retirement with a package worth $5,042,315. Yes you read that right -- seven not six digits.

On the average, around every 250,000 years the Earth undergoes a magnetic field reversal, i.e., the poles are reversed. The evidence from analyzing the iron record in the baking of clay pots from prehistory to modern times, suggests we are long overdue for a shift, since the last magnetic shift appar… Read full post »

Probability of dying from H1N1 . . . or whatever.

Let's begin with being struck by lightening. In the US an average of 80 people are killed by lightening each year. If we assumed everyone is equally likely to be killed by lightening, then this probability would be approximately 80 divided by 250 million, or a probability of 0.000032 percent.

However… Read full post »

The Phenomenology of a Fender Bender

When's the last time you were in a car wreck?  Not a killer car wreck you understand, just a fender bender; just one of those slam/bam this-is-what-it-feels-like-to-be-a-rag-doll mini deaths.

 

And it IS a mini death and no mistake.  For example, let's say you've been "rear ended" (y/Read full post »

Is revolution ultimate common sense?

"Revolution" can be a frightening word . . . but maybe it's just ultimate common sense.

 

May we look at just five metastasized cancers in the American spirit?

As some of you may know, I submit quantities of pieces and sometimes I'm on target and sometimes I miss the mark (interestingly, "missing the mark" is one of the etymologies of "sinning" -- kind of interesting).


But I'm already digressing.  TrustRead full post »

Polls are showing that the percentage of Americans who identify themselves as Christians has dropped ten points in the last two decades.

 

Naturally the polls vary, but the trend (as they say in the stock marked) is indisputable.  Christianity in America is increasingly seen as irrelevant/Read full post »

(1.)  First, American banks (e.g., Bank of America!) are bleeding Americans dry to "bail them out" from their greed/stupidity policies.

Behind the financial labyrinth of America's broken economy are banks, banks, and banks.

 

Have you had the interest on your bank credit cards doubled yet?  Well, that letter is probably in the mail.

Pilots For 9/11 Truth

Lots of facts,  links, and challenge  from the people who should understand 9/11 best of all, ie., "pilots".

The same Bill Clinton jackasses who set up the financial infrastructure that destroyed our economy in the first place (with colossal help from eight years of psycho/greed Republicans) are the same jackasses Obama has appointed to "fix" the economy. Duh.  No, double Duh.  Does this mean Obam/Read full post »

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be (?):  Wisdom vs. The beast.

 

Notice, it's not institutional religion or establishment politics vs. The Beast, since both are egregiously more part of the problem than the solution.

WISDOM IS REAL.

 

It's not knowledge, which is basically going from the unknown to the known.  Wisdom transcends that.  It’s better described as going from the unacknowledged to the acknowledged.

 

Wisdom is concerned with the bedrock of human existence; not greed, politRead full post »

Institutions as in what?  For openers, the institutions of religion, a traditional western marriage, and the Have and Have Not horror (which in essence is a profoundly conditioned social structure).
